Things to Do in San Francisco

San Francisco is one of my favorite cities in the world. I grew up there from age 8 to 18 and have lived in the Bay Area off and on for several years since. I never get tired of it! San Francisco is a world-famous city located on the Pacific Coast in northern California. It lies on the northern tip of a peninsula which runs along the west side of the San Francisco Bay. To the north of San Francisco lies the Golden Gate, a narrow stretch of seawater separating the city from Marin County. The Golden Gate Bridge connects San Francisco to Marin. To the west lies the Pacific Ocean and to the (Read more)


Making Good Viruses-Viral Video Clips

When someone mentions a virus, computer or biological, most people cringe. How did the word “viral” become a good thing for internet video clips? Internet users actually seek out “viral videos” and willingly share them with friends and family. Imagine a flu virus being spread that way…or a really nasty email virus. Receiving a bad virus from a friend is unheard of but getting a video clip of viral quality makes our day. Here are the ingredients for a great viral video: Make it short - Most of the best clips are under five minutes. When you think about it (Read more)

Enjoy a Trip to Surry For Your Virginia Getaway

When visitors come to the Southeastern part of Virginia for vacation, the itinerary is pretty much set with trips to Williamsburg to soak up our nation’s Colonial heritage, then on to Virginia Beach to soak up the sun. Maybe there will be time to shop in Norfolk or watch the ships cross the bay to Newport News, but you plans don’t necessarily have to end there. A side trip to Surry offers visitors an unspoiled view of rustic Virginia, hearkening back to centuries of tradition and hospitality. Surry County sits on the opposite end of the James River from the Jamestown Settlement (Read more)


Used Western Saddles: Finding the Right Saddle For the Right Price

Buying a western saddle that’s been used is often a great choice. Quality saddles maintain their value over time, so you can often buy a top brand previously-owned saddle for the same price as you would a lower quality new one. Your dollar goes a lot farther in the used market and a good quality saddle fits both you and your horse better than something cheaply manufactured. High quality leather western saddles are usually well cared for, so when they’re sold they’re often in great shape. Sure, most used saddles will have a scuff here and there, but that adds to their (Read more)


Small Business - Big Results

If you’re a micro business (less than 5 employees), then you’re competing against large, well resourced retail / service organisations for customers. This can be pretty scary. But don’t be discouraged, you’ve got more clout than you think. For example, in Australia, micro business represents 47% of the private sector. That’s Australia’s biggest employer! So, not so shabby after all, are you? World trends are showing a remarkable growth in micro business start ups, all due to the Global Economy and e-business. But you can’t compete head on with big (Read more)


Build a Mass of Muscle by Going Back to the Basics

These days it seems that right when a new type of technology comes out, a better version quickly replaces it. Whether it’s cell phones, Ipod’s, computers, or energy drinks. Right when we get version 5.0, 6.0 comes out and is faster, bigger and better. With technology changing so rapidly these days it’s hard to keep up with the latest and greatest. What I love best about workouts for muscle mass and gaining weight is that no matter what great salesman comes up with a new and improved workout gym, exercise, or supplement, there is nothing better to build a mass of muscle (Read more)


So You Think You Need a Facelift

Looked in the mirror only to hypercritically proclaim: “I need a facelift!”? If so, you are not alone. Every person over the age of 40 has begun to see subtle shifting in their facial appearance. Out of nowhere lines and folds have begun their development and all of a sudden, the once tight, sculpted chin has slackened leaving you feeling pretty glum knowing that you are beginning to look older than you ever thought possible. You also know that if you aren’t somehow, someway proactive, this aging is not going to correct itself. There are only a few methods that will (Read more)
