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

Credit report repair - Do it yourself

By Mark Taylor

We all have credit blemishes on our reports. Some of us worse than others. You as a consumer fall into one of only a few categories with regard to the current state of your credit. Its either fantastic with just a blemish or two, it's in a state of disarray and need help, or its absolutely horrid and needs a complete re-haul.

It doesn't matter where you fall in the list or how you got there, the bottom line is having the ability to remove these bad marks, your or not, is truly an asset. Even if your Mr./Mrs. Perfect you will someday be faced with at least an error on your report and knowing the steps to remove such an error is quite necessary.

When it comes to removing unwanted marks, there are no guarantees. However with a little knowledge and practice of some proven tactics you will be pleasantly surprised at what you can accomplish. Don't underestimate the power of improving your credit reports. The savings on interest over your life time can be in the millions.

The first thing you need to do is order all of your credit reports. This requires an online free credit report service or a written request to Experian, Trans-union and Equifax. So step 1 is simply order your reports. Step two is to go through them with a fine tooth comb and sort out the good credit from the bad credit. Once this is done your next objective is to challenge the accuracy of the mark. Common sense most be used in this step, consider the type of blemish and the likeliness of a favorable outcome.

If it's a large debt that is not that old chances are your challenge will be met with a phone call from a debt collector to pay up. Sometimes this is welcome because negotiating the payoff and getting the account listed as paid, makes it far more easy to remove.

Ideally you want your bad mark to be at a point where there is no reason for an office worker to get off their lazy butt and respond to the credit bureaus about your challenge.

The key is to get the bad mark to a point where there is no benefit for the creditor to respond. Yes they have people for this, specifically to handle these inquiries, but systematical bombardment will likely turn in your favor, especially when there's no money on the line.

When you challenge the marks, just write in blue ink directly on the credit report. Unless otherwise specified this is the best way to track results. Let them know that the bad mark is incorrect and negatively affecting your profile, ask them to verify and remove the mark and update you when they are done.

The steps to clean credit are a lot of fun. Experiment with your credit reports and you will see some amazing results. You should even consider offering the service to your community, you can make some good money helping others fix their bad credit. - 16928
