Own Home

Contribution by Stevie Kirby

I love having my own home and living by myself but my family gives me the hardest time. They’re always telling me I’m a young woman and I should have more friends and roommates but honestly, I’m just kind of a loner and I always have been. I don’t know why all of a sudden they seem to think I’ve got to be Mrs. Social Butterfly! Anyway, I bought my house last month and I’m loving living in it and making all kinds of improvements to it. I went to AllHomeSecurity.com for an alarm system and messed with the backyard a lot and I’ve got some paint colors picked out for the interior, too. I can’t wait until it looks the way I’ve got it imagined in my head and I know it’s only a matter of time with my work ethic and the monetary gift from my dad specifically for this purpose! I just don’t know what I would do without such a great support system and I can’t wait to get the house done!

Eco-Friendly Asus Laptop

ASUSTeK Computer Incorporated, commonly known simply as Asus is a Chinese computer manufacturing company. For over 20 years Asus has created top of the line computers. One such computer is their recently released U33Jc laptop computer.

Clearly this is a laptop designed for work, but with a little play thrown in. However, it does not have any kind of CD or DVD drive, as this is one of the company's light-weight offerings. One of the main sources of extra weight in a laptop is in the optical drive. With so much software available for legitimate downloading, most people rarely use such drives anymore.

This Asus laptop is exquisitely beautiful and features a battery life of up to 10.5 hours. The speakers deliver crisp, clear audio, and has integrated NVIDIA GeForce 310M video card with 1GB of DDR3 VRAM. It also contains a 1GB RAM module and is fully upgradable to a maximum of 4GB. And it weighs almost 4 pounds.

It uses an Intel Core i5 processor running at 2.4Ghz and utilizes Microsoft's Windows 7 as its operating system of choice.

The smallest hard drive included in this laptop is a 320GB hard drive available in either 5400rpm or 7200rpm (the speed, in revolutions per minute, is how fast the hard drive spins. The faster it spins, the faster data is retrieved). The largest drive offered is 640GB.

The U33Jc laptop also includes a 5-in-1 card reader, a 2.0 mega pixel camera, integrated b, g, and n wi-fi connectivity, an RJ45 ethernet port, 1 USB 3.0 port, 2 USB 2.0 ports, a VGA and HDMI port for connecting the laptop to an external monitor, and of course a headphone jack and a microphone jack.

When used with a microphone and headphones, the camera can be used for recording notes or for video conferencing. The camera is positioned on top of the LCD screen for easy access.

That's just the inside of this laptop. The outside has an excellent bamboo wood grain finish, chosen for its beauty and for its low impact on the environment. It was made to look like a piece of beautiful furniture. The keyboard also has a flourish of bamboo, but is housed in aluminum. I

Asus has had a reputation for creating top-notch computers, and they have yet to make one that failed to inspire. This laptop not only inspires, it tries to save the environment, and it does a good job of being eco-friendly, right down to the packaging.

Daisy's First Walk

After we brought Daisy home from the shelter, I decided to take her on her first walk. I couldn't resist. She's such a cute little poodle cross, and I wanted to show her off.

My parents were going out to lunch, so we all left at once, and as I set the home security alarm from http://www.Securitychoice.com, Daisy decided it would be fun to chew on my shoelaces. Silly puppy. Thankfully she didn't ruin them--those are my favorite shoes.

Daisy and I walked down the road toward the fire! station because I thought that if Mike was at work that day he might like to see her. He wasn't, but Daisy got to meet a lot of other firemen, and I think she was trying to show off because she kept barking and running around, getting tangled up with my legs.

After that, I decided to take her further on down so she could explore the area by the river. She wasn't too sure what to think of the water, but she definitely liked being out in the fresh air, watching the birds, and sniffing anything and everything to her little heart's content.

I'm so excited about having a new puppy. It's been too long since I had a pet, and although I might have liked another cat, I'm also glad I tried something different this time.

Pitfalls to avoid when planning for retirement

Have you started planning for retirement? Everybody needs to start planning for retirement. As we get older, our ability to update our blogs diminishes. We shall not be able to update our blogs regularly. This might be due to inability to type for a long time, lack of topics. Also, memory loss affects our blogging skills. We shall not be able to recycle contents to be good enough to appear original. We shall not have enough strength to be left clicking every 3 seconds to drop about 200 entrecards everyday.

I found this article on Motley fool that list ways to avoid botching your retirement plans. The link to the article is 9 Retirement Killers

Fed has cut the rate..............and it means?

The Fed cut interest rates today, 30th January, from 3.50% to 3.00%. The interest rate is the rate at which banks lends to other banks for a period of time, usually overnight. The Fed did that to prevent the thought of recession. The Fed has to respond to the falling stock market and failing economy. The effects of the reduced interest can be categorized as good news, mixed news and bad news.

Good news
This will help people to borrow loans at a cheaper rate. This enables people to take loans for businesses or cars, that are within their reach i.e. loans they can afford the monthly payments.
People with variable rate mortgages loans can refinance their homes. Also if you have a variable rate credit card, you can call your credit card to lower your rate if your rate can be lowered.

Mixed news
Treasury bonds, already taken students loans and fixed mortgages will not feel the effect right away, but they will feel it in the long run.

Bad news
Savers and high yield interest rate account owners will have lower returns on their money. People with existing car loans will not benefit from this reduced interest rate.

What is she looking at ?

I haven’t made a dime out of this blog yet. This blog is only 1 month old. I have read blogs in which the authors make like $1000-3000 a month. I usually say whoa. Then when I read blogs like shoemaker, problogger or the infamous John chow that make more than $100,000, I say eh mama. My first and the most common method of making money is by using Google adsense.

Google adsense according to what I have read is the highest pay per click (PPC) program. Pay per click program is a program that pays the webmaster money anytime an ad on his site is clicked. Pay per click is only important if you have a lot of traffic like more than 50 unique visitors per day. When you register with Google adsense, you can customize the ads to blend with your blog. Adsense try to display ads that are relevant to your blog. You also have the privilege to filter ads from some website. Adsense also gives you the opportunity to make money by including a search bar in your site. If your search bar is used to search Google, you get paid if an ad is clicked during the search process. According to adsesne, “Offer your users web search while earning revenue from ads relevant to their search terms”.
