By Victor Santerino

Suit wrinkles have plagued man kind since the hour the first suit was created. Since this time many new strategies and tips have become available to help us in this endeavor.

This article offers advice on both preventing and eliminating nasty looking wrinkles. After reading this article you will never have to worry about wrinkles again.

Do not make use of chemicals like starch. Using starch may keep your suit straight and wrinkle free, but it will also quickly drain the life out of your suit and you will need to buy a new one.

Excessive trips to the cleaner can also be detrimental to the life span of your suit. Dry cleaning can cause stitches to come loose and materials to look worn.

The first preventative measure you can take is to buy a suit in a wrinkle free material. These fabrics can be made of heavy wools or wool/polyester combinations.

The morning and evening drive to work is a perfect opportunity to take your suit jacket off to hang it on a hanger. This will keep you from wrinkling the suit while sitting and will give in some extra time to bounce back from previous wrinkles.

Wrinkles will inevitably occur and when they do you need to remove them quickly. Use a steam cleaner or iron to take wrinkles out, but be careful to put something in between the iron and your suit.

The tips and strategies provided above will work, but only if you apply them. Make use of your bookmarks and add this page to them for future reference. - 16928

Don't Make These Classic Car Classified Ad Mistakes

By Tom Seaver

People often have trouble when listing classic automoble classified ads to the Internet. I see it first-hand all the time, sellers just don't think when listing their car and it can cause them a lot of problems when trying to sell their classic car. The tips below should help you avoid the pitfalls as an online vintage car seller.

1. NOT INCLUDING A CONTACT PHONE NUMBER!

I tell you what... this is the worst mistake that a classic auto seller can make in an online classified ad. Yeah, you might be thinking, what about e-mail? Yes, technically leaving off any contact information is not a good idea, but most people who are classic car enthusiasts like to call first. Classic car collectors love to call sellers to get more details on the car that youre selling. Believe me, they will call if youve got a good car and they will call often.

2. LACK OF CAR DESCRIPTION

Merely posting the title of a classic auto you have for sale online and a image may get you some calls, but without a decent description the contacts won't be as good or as many. You need to be honest in your ad and give them full disclosure. You are not interested in wasting their and your time. Online viewers are very cautious about classic auto classified ads that have scant details. It simply looks like an ad that is not real and somebody just threw it up on the web.

3. DESCRIBE YOUR CAR HONESTLY, PLEASE

Unless your antique, muscle, classic auto is of show car quality, in I'm talking about the upper 5% of cars in America, don't go over-the-top in sugar-coating the condition of your baby. This will tend to scare people away and those who actually show up to see your car may be less enthused to take it off your hands.

4. GET GOOD PICTURES OF YOUR CLASSIC

Online viewers like to see numerous digital pictures of a collector car at every angle before they they will come and take a look at your car in person. Also image quality is very important. Make sure you have a good digital camera and that you take those pictures in full sunlight. Digital photos that are bad shady, unfocused, overly bright, too small, etc. etc. will not always pique the interest of online classic automobile buyers.

I couldn't recommend more that you take the pictures at every conceivable angle including under the car. I usually take pictures at every corner, down each side, the interior, the dash, trunk, the motor, and floor pan and axle area underneath. Also, don't just take one picture of each angle, take two or three at least and choose the best picture. You will be glad you did once you get back to your computer to get ready to post your classic auto ad.

5. HOW TO PRICE YOUR CAR

This is where doing a little research on your vintage cars value will pay dividends. It pays to understand what your car's value is in relation to what shape it is in. If you have no idea how to judge this, you may even want to find a collectible car appraiser who can certify the price range of your car as a trusted third party.

When placing a price your classic car you don't need to go too high or too low. Go too high on a selling price and you can scare off potential buyers. One of the things that people do when when a price their collector cars a little high is that they add the initials OBO which stands for or best offer and people understand that you are pricing the car for sale a little high and are willing to negotiate the selling price. Go too low and obviously you may live to regret it. So knowledge is power and I would say it I made a mistake in this area it would be to price it a little too high, never too low.

Okay there you go collectible car sellers! This is Classic Car Chris at Buy Old Cars.com hoping that you have a great experience posting classic car ads online! I hope that you post your classic car classifieds successfully this year and stay away from all of the easy mistakes people make! - 16928

How To Buy A Wrinkle Resistant Suit

By Victor Santerino

The man or woman that wears a suit each day seems to constantly be asking the question, how can I keep my suit from getting wrinkled? This person should always be answered with, "buy a suit that will not wrinkle quickly".

I wrote this piece to help men and women purchase a suit that will not wrinkle easy. After reading this article you will know all you need to know to purchase a highly wrinkle resistant suit.

Cotton and linen suits are the enemy when it comes to looking for suits that will not wrinkle easy. The greatest example of this can be seen in your hamper in the form of cotton t-shirts.

The weight of a wool suit can determine how quickly it will become creased. Heavier wools are always better than lighter wools for our purposes.

Decide to sacrifice some comfort by purchasing a wool spun at a lower level. The higher the level of spin on the wool grade, the easier it will wrinkle.

The polyester and wool combination is one of the ultimate wrinkle free suits. This suit combines the professionalism of a wool fabric and the wrinkle resistant quality of a polyester suit.

Brands to consider when looking for a wrinkle resistant suit are Haggar and Hart Schaffner & Marx. These designers have the magic stretch and traveler models which are designed to fight wrinkles.

Stay wrinkle free by planning in advance. Bookmark this article and come back to it before buying your next suit and you will never have to spend your days worrying about wrinkles again. - 16928

Some Details To Be Known Of A Cleaning Business

By Nathan Nwachukwu

Housekeeping is never the easiest of things to do nowadays, what with so much to do on a daily basis. Maybe the general part of making your bed, dusting a corner or two and doing away with the few nasty cobwebs that have managed to form on your walls. But we all know it can never be that simple. So much dust collects on every flat surface like on window sills and on curtain boxes, wash towels and curtains need cleaning and when was the last time the ceramic tub, sinks and toilet bowls were scrubbed? The carpets need cleaning too, the worst dirt collectors.

Domestic cleaning services, a revolutionary business niche has helped save both time and money. Having to come whenever you decide to make an appointment with them, they offer specific service packages that can be modified to suit your situation. Whether you had a backyard or in-house party, or just the general condition of a house staying thoroughly unclean, they will get you hooked. Always be on the lookout for the ones that guarantee that nothing gets stolen from your premises. Even fraud companies exist that may clean out your house. Always have these things in mind when you embark on the search for such a service.

The price : Most people prefer the cleaning companies that charge more for their services because they think that they will offer better services. Do not be lead to think that the more expensive the charge means quality jobs. Those that tried and tested are the best ones to use. Recommendations from friends and family will be the best way to choose a cleaning company.

Insurance : Always go for a cleaning company that has an insurance policy. This helps you to recover your property in case of intentional or unintentional damage to your property. A company that is not insured is a risk to work with.

Feedback from clients : The cleaning companies you enquire about may exaggerate the quality of their work and therefore ask them to give you a list of their clients so that you get information that is not biased. Clients who have used the service and are satisfied are in a better position to explain how it works for them and this way you can make an informed choice.

Staff recruitment : The way the cleaning service company recruits its cleaners is always a show of how seriously they take their job. They should be able to comfortably explain how they do it and especially how they pick out the best. The best cleaner may be an ex-convict. The cleaning service company should explain how they can make you rest assured that they have it covered. With you satisfied, you can gladly hand over your keys every time you ask them over. - 16928

How To Set Up A Tickler File

By Dojo Kuhn

In this lesson of the GTD Thirty Day Challenge we are going to talk about how to set up a tickler file, or specifically, how I set up my tickler file.

David Allen seems to be big on using 43 folders for his tickler file. These folders would be made up of 12 monthly folders and 31 daily folders. Let's say it is now January and I'd have all my daily folders behind the January folder. When a day ends, that day's folder goes behind the next month or February's folder. Looking at the 19th, I'd have the folders 1-18 behind the February folder at this point.

Now, how do you use it? Today, I had a bill I learned I had to pay on February 3. I don't want to forget it, so I would put it behind my February 3 tab. When that day rolls around, I check my tickler file and it prompts me to pay the bill.

If you asked me, I think using 43 folders for my tickler file is not the best way to set up a tickler file. First, it's hard to remember to check the tickler each day. You'll be asking yourself, "how do I remind myself to check the tickler file?" Secondly, it's very bulky and not very portable. Third, when you move the folders for each day to the next month you have to take items in that months folder and put them in the right day.

If you use GTD though, a tickler file is essential to set up because there are things in the future that you need to remember. The folder type of tickler is perfect if you have a lot of physical type items you use as reminders. For most people, their work doesn't create the kind of physical items that really justify a folder tickler file and I suggest setting up a tickler file differently to address the problems above.

How I Set Up My Tickler File

Step one is to create a plastic folder that I carry in my briefcase labelled "Waiting For" and all the things I need to remember on future dates go in there.

Next, I created a folder in my email account called "Yahoo Reminders". You'll see this folder if you look at the image of my email folder structure in How To Set Up Your GTD Email. I then set up a filter for all Yahoo Reminders to go into this specific folder and not in my inbox for processing.

The last component is Yahoo calendar. I put any item I need to remember and enter it as an all day event. I attach and email reminder to it that sends me a reminder 2 days ahead of the day I need to remember it. As a second reminder, a text is sent too.

In the above example, the bill I got needed to be remembered on February 3rd. I enter the all day event on the third like "Pay very important bill" and by default it sends me an email reminder two days before it occurs. The actual physical bill goes into my "Waiting For" folder in my briefcase.

On the 1st day of February, I get a Yahoo reminder that reminds me about the bill that needs to be paid on the third and it goes directly into my Yahoo reminder folder in my email account. In addition, a text goes out as well giving me a backup on my blackberry in case I can't get to my Yahoo reminder's folder in my email account. I review my blackberry text messages every day and review my reminders folder too as well if I have access to it.

This system works fantastic for me. It's extremely portable, it reminds me automatically and I don't have to rethink the items in my tickler when I move the tabs. If you are not using email reminders to help you remember stuff, you have no idea how this can effect your productivity. Even if you use 43 folders, I recommend email reminders 100% to be a part of your GTD system.

That is my version of how to set up a tickler file for maximum effectiveness. - 16928

To Achieve Success In Study, How Important Are Targets And Goals?

By Scott Edwards

Planning for a successful outcome is the basic requirement of any endeavour. Today's football superstars didn't get to become multi-millionaires without years of dedication to practice, planning and targets. For any life-changing event to happen, planning and goal-setting are paramount.

The most successful students on any study programme are those who set themselves realistic, achievable goals to get them from A to B. Goals, or targets that stretch you somewhat are vital for consistent effort. Even if the end result falls short of the planned criteria, it's a likely bet that you'll be much closer to success than you'd have been without them.

To really get involved at an emotional level with the successful completion of your studies, compose a contract for yourself using the following headings:

DEFINE what you wish to get out of your soon to be acquired new skill-set, to keep you motivated along the way. Be specific about the material things you're looking forward to, the kind of home you want, the sort of holidays you'll take and the type of car you'll drive.

DESIRE. Explore your emotions for this one, and dig deep to discover why your studies are important. Is it to prove to yourself or others that you are an achiever, and that you deserve better things? Perhaps you want more control in your life, or maybe it's a personal challenge.

DEDICATION is a measure of how commited you are to a successful end result. Plan your time each week so you know exactly when you're dedicated to studying. This not only helps you to get into a routine, it's also an indicator for those around you that you're engaged in something that's important to you. They won't expect you to get involved in different activities when your diary shows a study period if you've been consistently sticking to your routine. Setting aside 'official' study times helps you to concentrate, and prevents you from thinking about other things that you could be doing. It also frees up your mind to enjoy leisure time outside of study periods.

DETERMINATION. Having a contract with yourself will make you more determined to stick with the programme. You're the one who will lose out most if you give up on yourself.

DISCIPLINE. The goals and disciplines you put in place will give you strength to overcome any adversities that inevitably come your way.

Once you've done this, sign it and do NOT put it away in a drawer. This is a working document and should be read every day for at least one month so you buy into it and it becomes your new way of life. If and when things get tough, read it again for another month. Always have it close to hand while you study and show it to your partner, kids (if you have them), friends and parents. This will help you to see your goal through. - 16928

Organic Herbal Gardening On Balconies And Windowsills

By Susan Honeywell

Having an organic herbal garden is a pleasant way to have an always-ready, fresh supply of delicious kitchen supplies at the ready. Your guests and family will be impressed by the fresh herbs, as well as the beautiful effect of the plants growing on your balcony or in your kitchen.

Organic herbal gardening in the house has certain advantages over outdoors growing. You are much less season-dependent, and you can have a plot of plants that is just the size you need it to be within constant reach of your kitchen.

As for the plants that you can grow, most herbs that will grow in a garden will also do well indoors. Don't worry about having to exclude your favorite flavors, but focus instead on the combination of herbs that you would prefer to grow.

For instance, for a fragrant note you can grow angelica, bergamot, catmint, chamomile, thyme, lavender, lemon balm, and mint. This organic herb garden is also a great organic air freshener, ideal for indoor gardens in small flats.

Another important consideration for your organic herbal gardening plan is the kind of containers that you will employ. You will want to choose pots according to the specific herbs you intend to grow, as some are not suitable for small pots.

Make sure that you don't get any tiny pots meant for growing from seed, unless that is your original intention! In fact, better to get slightly bigger pots if you have the space in your growing area.

Container size is important, so begin with those that are a bit larger than those in which the live nursery plants were purchased. This will give your plants room to start growing. Once your herbs are stabilized and growing well, transplant them into larger containers. This is important to ensure growth and so that nutrients make it from the soil into the plant.

Concerning extra soil and fertilizer, you should make sure that only organic earth and additives are used for your herbs. This will ensure better quality, flavor and health benefits, with little effect on the cost of growing your herbal garden.

The next crucial step is to think about the lighting. You should put the plants next to a good source of natural light, possibly a southwards-facing window. Don't automatically put the plants in full sunlight, as some grow better in a shadier spot. You may want to experiment with electric grow lights if there isn't a lot of light where you live, but this isn't usually necessary.

Make it a habit to regularly tend your organic herbal garden, and you will find that your food will improve much at little expense, and also that you will have brought a piece of nature to your home. - 16928

Promotional Leisurewear - A Practical Promotional Gift Idea

By Matthew Calvin

The best type of promotional gift these days is promotional clothing. There are many varieties available, from T-shirts, polo shirts and jackets, to caps, visors and fleeces. The wide variety of clothing available affords the business owner a multitude of opportunities to get the marketing message out to the public.

There is a significant difference in the brand promotion activity carried out by the promotional clothing products and that done by the other types of promotional products. The clothing products, especially the leisurewear such as T-shirts, jackets and polo shirts are used by all the people in our country. Thus, they surpass the other promotional gifts in their utility.

The marketing power and the utility of promotional products are both pertinent when considering their value. The more adaptable they are with regard to utility, the greater is their ability to promote the brand. There are a few highly rated online collections of promotional clothing available. Visit them to see the extensive collections of clothing they offer, from T-shirts, ball caps, hats and visors, to shirts, fleeces, jackets and sweat shirts.

Promotional clothing also offers a longer brand promotion because it lasts so long. No matter what type of clothing is being considered, the recipients tend to wear it for longer periods of time, thus exposing more to the brand name. And no matter where the garment is worn, it is always displaying the marketing message of the company.

The bottom line is that promotional clothing will provide the best return on your investment. People love to receive clothing as a gift, and if it is stylishly adorned with a marketing message, they tend to wear it longer than other clothing. If you are considering a marketing campaign utilising promotional gifts, then promotional clothing should be at the top of your list for consideration. - 16928

Don't Be a Fool: Desktops Rule

By James Gilbert Pynn

For you dreadful few who somehow managed to miss the computer revolution of the 1980s, allow me to recap. The desktop computer is a personal computer (PC, get it?) that fits on top of your rickety desk at home, unless your desk is too small, in which case its called a tabletop computer. Still with me? Good. Now, desktop computers can come in a range of shapes and sizes, from large vertical towers to small cases that fit behind the monitor to balloon animal desk mounts.

You can interface with this desktop contraption by means of a monitor, which lets you see what the computer is thinking and doing. You can give this desktop a command by means of a keyboard (think typewriter) and a mouse (not the furry kind). Fancy people, or people whom fancy music, have been known to plug speakers into the desktop computer. Ah, the sweet sounds of the Chariots of Fire soundtrack.

Now, breaking from the PC desktop, I would like to make brief mention of those kooks at Apple Computers. They are, and have been for some time, fond of the all-in-one computer. This means the tower or case is built into the monitor. This, of course, saves space (lots of it) and makes for a nice, clean contraption. Theyre meant to be more potable, but who in their right mid would carry an all-in-one desktop to the caf to check on the Cowboys game? Ok, some Cowboys fans might.

Now, in the never-ending tennis match between desktops and laptops, you must remember that desktops are easier to maintain and cheaper to repair. Fifteen-love. Laptops, on the other hand, are highly portable (duh). Fifteen-all. Desktop upgrades are easier to manage as all you have to do is pry off the cover, snap in your new piece of hardware, and off you go. Laptops, meanwhile, are highly portable. Desktops enjoy no power concerns " as long as theyre plugged in, youre good to go. Laptops suffer from chronic power shortages and indeed, as long as you keep them plugged in, theyre good to go.

So, ok, a desktop pretty much rules, but you just cant take it anywhere. So what, you say? Good point. Desktop computers still enjoy the lions share of power, memory, speed, and popularity (though many hipsters would disagree). A desktop is always poised to deliver years of service " especially if you piecemeal its upgrades. As Mr. T used to admonish, Dont be a fool, stick with your desktop computer, fool. Wiser words were never uttered, Mr. T. - 16928

Buy Board Game

By Cantu Terrell

Who can play Passport To Culture?? Ages 10 to adult, Passport To Culture? is more than an educational, party, trivia, and family fun game. It is an international learning game appealing to teachers and students, parents and children, and people from every country in the world. Passport To Culture's? fascinating questions with multiple choice answers are suitable for novices and experts alike.CQ refers to Cultural Intelligence? (or Cultural IQ?).

If I can turn a Campsite Location face-down, then face-up again, do I draw another Character Card? No. Being instructed to peek at a Location only lets you see that Location. However, now you know it's a Campsite -- get over there!We keep enough supplies in stock to fill orders within 24 hours. Since all production is centralized, we can provide expedient turn-around times.

I've run out of pieces of my colour - can I have more reinforcements? I'm not aware of any version of the rules that states that the numbers of pieces of your colour is intended to restrict your maximum military size. However, some other games do indeed do this, and it could be an interesting house rule. It is probably worth checking all players have the same number of pieces available to make this fair - my own set doesn't have quite the same number of each colour, perhaps due to some being lost over the years.The missions make for a much faster game with more uncertainty -- the strongest looking player may be nowhere near winning.

Something is missing from my Game. Do I send the game back for a replacement? Under no circumstance should you return the game because you are missing a game piece, dice or instructions. We will ship you whatever is missing within 24 hours to your location.Unlike typical trivia games, Passport To Culture? is a knowledge-based game with useful, educational information that can actually help you better understand people from all cultural backgrounds. With players participating on nearly every turn - the more you play, the more you learn, the closer you get to reaching the highest level and becoming a true Passport To Culture? World Citizen . copy; 2003 H&H Global, Inc.

Q How do I challenge a play? A We do ask players to agree which dictionaries to use, prior to play, in the new game invite. If a word(s) played is not in the dictionary agreed, then that play can be removed using the Challenge Play link found at the top right hand of your game board page.

ARE THERE ANY GAMES USING THE CHARACTERS AND LOCALES FROM THE SERIES? This is a role-playing supplement for TSR's Advanced Dungeon and Dragons game published by Mayfair Games as part of its RoleAids line. It includes an essay by Robert Asprin called "Myth-Chief: The Magic of Aahz and Skeeve" where Asprin explains how Aahz and Skeeve should be used in a role-playing game and gives several details as to how magic works in the Myth series.You may NOT actually be missing any card(s). Depending on the season set, some collation was required. Any missing card(s) are most likely with another team. If you have checked all the teams and you are still missing a card, you should be able to contact someone to make a copy for you, or to at least get the ratings (check gamer directory or classifieds).Oh yes! I actually saw that video a few months ago and as I was watching it, I was thinking to myself, "Wow, this is really cool." then all of a sudden she started throwing herself back towards Jesus and I lost it. Every time I watch it, I get tears in my eyes and goosebumps. I just cannot grasp Christ's amazing love. We let things get in the way of our relationship with Him. He's fighting for us the whole time. It doesn't matter how much we've done or how long we've been gone.. - 16928

4 Core Blueprints to Reclaim your Life pt 5

By Lynn Pierce

There are 4 core areas, or what I call core blueprints, that require your attention if you want to have a life that is in flow with your true passion and purpose. When you've created all 4 of your blueprints and you have all 4 of these areas functioning at a level that satisfies you, then your life will be more peaceful and effortless than you have ever imagined it could really be...

No magic bullet required!

In the final week we will discuss the last blueprint, Mentoring for Your Life and Your Business Blueprint.

If you've done the work we've discussed in the first 4 installments of this series, you've got to be feeling pretty great about your life focus and your business right now. Through the first 4 weeks you've worked on knowing who you are, where you're starting from, where you want to go, how you're going to get there and how to ramp up your sales and marketing program using better communications skills to bring in more cash.

Now it's time for a mentoring blueprint.

In other blueprints I've mentioned that the top 3% of the people in the world have such a different life than the other 97% because they look at life differently and they make conscious choices. I told you that one of those conscious choices is to create a plan for building their business and it's day to day operations for growth and financial prosperity.

Another very crucial conscious choice the top 3% of people make is to invest in themselves.

Once again, first you have to know your starting point. The next step is to evaluate how you feel about where you are and then decide where you would like to take it next. You need to be laser focused and absolutely clear on what your next step is to get the best results from mentoring. If you're not you could pick the wrong thing to be mentored on or the wrong time to do it.

It is likely that as you progress on your path you will have more than one mentor for different parts of your life or business working with you at the same time.

I have said many times that you should be willing to invest at least 10% of your income in your own growth if you are really serious. Then find the mentors that understand where it is that you want to go and have the experience to take you there.

Here is where I differ with what many coaches and gurus will tell you. They will say that you should only work with someone who has done what you want to do and mentored others to do the same.

But that's not the whole story.

Where would Tiger Woods be today if he took that advice? His coaches have not been the best golfers in the world at any time in their careers; far from it.

Some people are gifted teachers and know the process of what needs to be done to get Tiger, or you, to the desired result without either the personal skill or perhaps the desire to reach that level themselves or possibly neither.

In my 25 year career as a salesperson, manager and trainer, I can tell you that the majority of the best salespeople couldn't train others to do what they do because they don't have the skill of a great teacher. That's not their gift. And yet someone who was an average salesperson can have an amazing understanding of the sales process and be an incredibly gifted mentor.

Some of the top gurus in your field may be the same way, the very best at what they do but not the best person to mentor someone to do the same.

If I were to share my personal preferences with you, I look for a mentor that understands what I want to accomplish. If I'm working with them one on one or in a small group, I want them to be excited about being involved in helping me reach that goal. I want them to have the skill level to be able to guide me through the process.

Are you getting the mentoring you need to grow your business and expand your level of personal growth?

Even more so than the other blueprints this is as extremely individualized so it's important that you make a decision based on your own gut feeling about your possible mentor. Don't just ask for a recommendation from a friend and assume that the relationship you will have with your mentor will be the same as theirs.

In this type of relationship, where you are getting personal mentoring, having a good fit of personalities is very important.

Remember that this is all about you. What you are passionate about, what you want your life to look like, the activities you choose to include in the way you create your business and the way you grow your business. Make those things clear to your prospective mentor and see if you are in alignment before proceeding.

It's your life. It's your business. It's your choice. Do what feels right to you.

Now you have the last piece of the 4 Core Blueprints to Reclaim your Life, Awaken Your Soul and Your Business. We've come full circle. You are creating the script of what you want your life story to be from now on. It's time for you to take 100% responsibility and take back 100% of your power. Pick up your pen and create a script for yourself that is exciting and compelling and passionate and fulfilling for you on every level.

Remember that all you ever need to know how to do is the next step that you're going to take right now and the end result. The steps in between and the people you need to help you make it happen will show themselves as needed.

I hope this series has been beneficial to you and that you've taken the action suggested. Now that you know what you want and how you're going to get there and you know how you're going to get the cash to make it happen you're ready to put it all together with the mentoring to keep you on track.

So get to work right now on blueprinting your life and reawaken your soul!

Until next week, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Just comment on this post on my blog. - 16928

Cheap Beach Hotels

By Logan W. Strat

Me and the Wife are always looking for a chance to sneak away with our friends to the beach. We all bring guitars and tambourines and play music around the fire while we grill some food. It's the best.

I think the best time to go to the beach is when it gets cold. We don't swim, but being there and watching the sun go down with my closest friends just gives a free feeling. We let go of the stress of our weekly lives, and just have fun.

When you go to the beach in the colder months though, camping outside is tough even when you're right next to the fire. So we usually hop online and look for some cheap beach hotels to stay the night in.

I would always recommend making a reservation at the hotel before you even get out of the house. If you get there and they are all booked up, you in trouble. And you don't want to have that hanging on your mind while relaxing at the beach.

Almost all hotels will have the option of making reservations online for convenience. Take advantage. When you get to the beach, you won't be worrying about where to stay the night.

Have fun and relax when you go to the beach. Don't bring worries from your week life and ruin the party. All you need is music, friends, food and laughs to make good times. - 16928

From the Stars to the Streets

By James Gilbert Pynn

Before the Eagle had landed, the Soviets had threatened to dominate space. When the Soviet Space Program successfully sent Sputnik into orbit in 1957, the so-called free world was in a panic. Congress reacted with swiftness reserved for a national crisis. Indeed, for many Americans, the perceived superiority of the Soviet program was tantamount to a crisis. President Eisenhower moved quickly to establish both NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) in 1958.

With its motto declaring "For the Benefit of All," NASA moved quickly, launching the Explorer 1 satellite on January 31, 1958. Led by the former head of the German rocket program, Wernher von Braun, NASA immediately began to explore the possibility of sending human beings into space. Dubbed Project Mercury, this program involved seven original astronauts, of whom, Alan Shepard became the first American into space, while John Glenn would become the first American to orbit the earth.

Having taken the upper hand in thee so-called Space Race, NASA began implementing a new tracking system, called the Global Positioning System (GPS). The system involved the use of satellites to track the position and location of both spacecraft and intercontinental ballistic missiles. Initially developed by the Navy, the first successful GPS tracking system was dubbed Transit, and used five satellites to triangulate positions around the globe.

Though GPS systems had been used exclusively by the military and government, all that changed in 1983. In that year, a Soviet interceptor aircraft shot down the civilian Korean Air airliner KAL 007, killing all 269 people on board. The plane had strayed into Soviet airspace and although the Soviet had probable cause to destroy the perceived threat, it was determined had the airliner had accurate navigational systems, the tragedy could have been avoided. President Ronald Reagan subsequently announced that civilians and civilian agencies should have access to the GPS tracking systems.

GPS systems have become integral components of modern American life. From the Space Race to racing down the highway, a GPS system is guiding us. Not only has it become the preeminent navigational system for cars, but the scientific community has used it to track wild and domestic animals and migration patterns. Law enforcement uses GPS tracking to find stolen cars and keep tabs on criminals on bail or probation. Now, not only can someone find where they are on a city grid, but also he or she can find nearby businesses and restaurants. The uses, and the wonders, never end. - 16928
