			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I got a quick lesson on vessel sinks over the weekend. One of the topics of conversation over Easter dinner was home remodeling and my niece is all excited about the new vessel sink that she just found and ordered online. I&#8217;m sorry but I had never seen or heard of <a href="http://www.bathroomvesselsinks.com/vessel-sinks.asp ">vessel sinks</a> before, so after dinner was done and over with I was brought over to one of the laptops that was brought along (funny how people don&#8217;t leave home without their computer, even at holiday family functions) and shown a website that has some of the most amazing looking vessel sinks. The same website that my niece ordered from.</p>
<p>I have to say that I agree that these are some good looking sink options and I&#8217;m not surprised that they are becoming popular. They come in stone, glass and copper, the stone ones are my favorite. Check out the one that I really felt was a good looking specimen, it&#8217;s called Eden Bath Natural Stone Sink &#8211; Jurassic Onyx.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We had a surprise visitor at our Elks meeting last night. The State President, Tim Knotts, showed up unexpected and had us all pretty nervous upon his arrival. We kept the meeting short and sweet, allowed him plenty of time to stand up and talk about all the things that are going on in the state, all the places he has been and where he is planning on during the rest of his term.</p>
<p>After each meeting we all head downstairs for drinks, but Tim didn&#8217;t stick around for any social time, most likely because he had a 2 1/2 hour drive back home and the meeting didn&#8217;t end until almost 9pm. We are all curious as to why the surprise visit and are anxious to find out more and what we are up against.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bridget sent me a link to a company that sells <a href="http://www.alldoubleglazing.co.uk/" title="double glazing" target="_blank">double glazing</a> windows as an example of a website that was probably done by someone who did not speak English as their native language. Although the reader does learn some information about the history of windows and what double glazing is, the website itself is riddled with spelling and grammatical errors.</p>
<p>Reading the website was almost painful; it made me wonder if the person who created it was an uneducated relative of the business owner and that maybe the business owner was trying to do the creator a favor by giving him a job. If that is the case, then that is all well and good but they really should have had someone who is educated proof read it.</p>
<p>In this highly competitive environment of the Internet, professional websites are essential if you are going to be marketing your product on the Internet. Although some people may think that a poorly done web page is better than nothing, I would have to disagree with that. My opinion is that you would be better off putting a small &#8220;under construction&#8221; sign with limited contact information up and then take the time to do the web site the right way.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My wife and her sister have been talking about starting a marketing business, helping local business people to improve their presences on the Internet. They&#8217;ve been tossing around a few ideas about what to call the business, and talking about how much money it will cost to start up the business. My wife came across a website that wrote about how start-up businesses run by women might be eligible for <a href="http://www.businessgrants.org">business grants</a>, and she is going to take a look at what they will have to do in order to apply for one.</p>
<p>In this job market, it seems to me that creating your own job just might be a good idea. So many companies are laying off employees, and the few that are hiring are only hiring temporary or part time help so they don&#8217;t have to give them any kind of benefits. Becoming self-reliant is a good idea, don&#8217;t you agree?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve always had a soft spot for our feathered friends.Â  I keep a pair of binoculars and a bird identification book close at hand so if I spot a bird I haven&#8217;t seen before I can get a closer look and try to figure out what it is.Â  From time to time I&#8217;m thrilled and blessed to spot aÂ few American Bald Eagles near our house!Â  But sightings like that are few and far between.Â  I mostly see hawks, blue jays, robin red breasts, grosbeaks, woodpeckers, doves, nuthatches, finches and cardinals.Â  Once in a great while I see a Northern Bluebird &#8211; what a thrill that is to see that!Â  I see way too many turkey vultures and buzzards for my liking, though, if you know what I mean.Â  I understand that they are a protected species and I know that they have a job to do, but they give me the creeps!Â </p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to put a few Quality birdhouses and birdfeedersÂ in our yard to help care for the birds in our neighborhood.Â  I suspect that if I did that I&#8217;d see a lot more of them in the yard a lot more often.Â  I&#8217;m just not really sure what is the best kind of birdhouse.Â  I love the colorful and whimsical ones, but I&#8217;ve read that the plain ones are more attractive to the birds.Â  What do you think?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Internet can be very useful for the elderly if they know the right places to look. Networking sites like Facebook and Myspace can be used to meet people with similar interests.

Powerscooter.com can give them the information they need to get a mobility scooter. Any elderly person who is feeling lonely can go to littlebrothers.org to be matched up with someone who would be happy to keep them company. The seniors.lovetoknow.com is a site that has much information about caring for the elderly. It includes knowledge of financial planning, assisted living, fashion, senior services, athletic activities, <a href="http://www.healthcareinsurance.me/">medical insurance</a> and health.</p>
<p>If someone is looking for information on the best place to retire bestretirementspots.com, and bestretirementdestinations.com have tons of information. Search engine sites like yahoo, Webcrawler, and Google may be used to find any sort of information that anyone could ever need, all that is required is the knowledge to use these sites.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you know what parthenogenesis means?Â  I didn&#8217;t until I read it in an article that was talking about how a second case of asexual reproduction in sharks was documentedÂ  in Virginia Beach in October of 2008.Â  It seems that a female blacktipÂ shark, having been the only kind of her species in an aquarium, gave birth without benefit of having a mate.Â  The article also mentions that last year a hammerhead shark in a zoo in Omaha also gave birth without benefit of mating.</p>
<p>I found this to be quite fascinating!Â  I knew that there were some animals that could do that, but not sharks!Â  Considering how many people are afraid of sharks, this could be very scary news to some people.Â  I would not be surprised to see this story on the Colbert Report&#8217;s threat down!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So many people flocking to the medical field these days makes it to where there is an abundant amount of folks walking around wearing nursing uniforms and medical scrubs. Much like the kind you can find at http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/. I&#8217;ve been noticing it more and more, like at the gas stations the mall and the at the grocery store, you are likely to see at least one person wearing some type or another of medical uniforms. They have come a long way with different styles, fabrics, patterns and designs, and after all variety is the spice of life.</p>
<p>Some of these medical uniforms that are being seen now-a-days are really attractive and they look like they would be comfortable to wear. The majority of folks that are on their feet (medical personnel certainly stay on their feet all day) are wearing those funky looking crocs/clogs that have been selling like crazy in the last umpteen years or so now. But if it feels good do it, right?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well my neighborhood Jack who I just recently spoke about being in the nursing profession, has certainly made use of the website of http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/ in which I turned him onto to the other week. Apparently he has spread the word all over with his friends and family concerning the issue of purchasing medical nursing uniforms for him as gifts for the up and coming 2011 Christmas holiday. It sounds like a great idea to me, these nursing uniforms are a necessity for anyone in the nursing profession or any medical profession these days. And now that there is a much wide variety of medical uniforms it is a big deal for them to be wearing these uniforms and looking good in them.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s so good to see that those old starched white uniforms from the past are dead and gone, it must have been a real drag wearing those darned sterile things day after day after day. Check out the cool holiday prints that they are currently offering there and they are having a sweepstakes going on right now as well. A good resource for our medical professionals.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been hearing a lot of talk about how the paper version of newspapers are obsolete, and that the newspapers are going to go out of business; being replaced by online news. I&#8217;d hate to think that were true; I like getting the paper newspaper. I like to take it with me to work, to read on my breaks. I like to take it in the car with me and read when I&#8217;m waiting for someone to meet me.</p>
<p>I use the newspaper a lot after the reading is over. I use it to wash my mirrors and windows. I use it to line the carpet to protect it from kitty litter when I&#8217;m cleaning the litter box. And, when I have puppies, I use it as an aide to house break them. If I had birds (I used to, but don&#8217;t now!) I&#8217;d use the newspapers to line their cages.</p>
<p>Veterinarians and animal rescue leagues need used newspapers to line their cages. Schools need newspapers to teach social studies and current events.</p>
<p>I hope that the paper version of the newspaper sticks around for a very long time to come!</p>
