Fort Christmas Museum

Alright, I have to admit I never even knew there was a place called Fort Christmas in Christmas Florida. How cool is that? It is a historic village where a lot of the old cracker homes were moved to. Unfortunately the original Fort Christmas has rotted away. It was built a short distance away in 1837. There is a log cabin-like blockhouse which is the re-created fort.

Get The Gear You Need

I am so glad there is a site I can go to and purchase things like Blackhawk Gear. I used to think that only the police could buy gear like this.

They also have some great closeout items with great closeout prices! It is based on a first come first serve basis so don't wait too long to order these closeout items. With Christmas right around the corner Blackhawk Gear would make a great gift. They have everything from Blackhawk Warrior Wear to BlackHawk Videos.

Need Help Saving Your Marriage?

Many married couples are going through some hard times right now. Not knowing which way to turn can take a toll on any marriage. It also doesn't help knowing the divorce rate is around 50%. There are so many problems facing couples nowadays with one of them being lack of communication. It's nice to know married couples don't have to face their problems alone. It also good to know, help is just a phone call away. That is what the National Institute of Marriage is here for. They reach out to those couples in need. They have marriage counselors who are there to help couples build a stronger marriage. Isn't it better for couples to get the help they need now rather than wait until it's too late?

The National Institute of Marriage has the resources needed to help couples get through these trying times. They also have what it takes to get couples back on track to a healthier marriage. The programs they have here, have really helped couples find out just what's keeping them from a happy marriage and what they need to do in order to overcome their obstacles so they can move forward. It's ok to ask for help. Marriage doesn't have to end in divorce. Please check out the press release listed below.

Press Release:

With the national divorce rate around 50%, there is no doubt that many marriages run into communication problems at some point. There is a communication epidemic. The National Institute of Marriage has created marriage counseling programs and resources utilizing a structure that is the most powerful format they have found for helping couples who feel stuck and hopeless. They have designed several programs to help couples move past the barriers and experience the marriage of their dreams.
NIM's Intensive Marriage Counseling Programs are unique from weekly marriage counseling in three distinctive ways:

· Intensive Marriage Counseling Format: Committing to an extended amount of concentrated time like the 2 or 4 day Marriage Intensive allows people to get to the root of the problem and stick with it in order to work through it. If you’ve been in traditional marriage counseling before, you may have experienced how you spend the first half catching up from the week before, the second half getting into the real issues, and then the time is gone. The Intensive format is designed so that people have the chance to go deeper without many of the other distractions of daily life and have enough discuss to consider solutions.

· Efficiency: One of the first steps in the process is an extensive assessment with some questionnaires. This allows the therapists to gather background information and can get an idea of the best strategy to proceed before you arrive for your session.

· Marriage Counselors: The counselors at the National Institute of Marriage are specialists in this area. One analogy we like to use is that of the Mayo Clinic: people go to their regular physician but may be sent to a specialist to work with specific areas. The NIM marriage therapists have been trained in this format to maximize its effectiveness. Also, the NIM marriage counseling programs provide the perspectives and insight of two professionals rather than one.
If you are considering divorce, you must try the National Institute of Marriage before giving up. They have developed a continuum of care that meets couples wherever they may be in their relationship. Regardless of the health of their marriage they have a service that can help couples improve their marital satisfaction. Visit their website at http://www.nationalmarriage.com. Read the incredible testimonies from the couples that saved their marriages by attending a Marriage Intensive at the National Institute of Marriage.

For All Your Driving Needs - a Turbocharger!

I know what your going to say, "a turbocharged car will drink gas by the gallon"! Right? This couldn't be any further from the truth, which is why it's on my site. Turbocharged engines are actually gas friendly because they make the gas being burned more efficient, not to mention the exhaust is cleaner because it is double burned. Double burned? How is that? A turbo charger equipped engine receives it's mass air flow from the already burned exhaust gases, which are very hot. This differs from a supercharger in that a supercharger uses forced cold air and is better suited for track driving unlike a turbo which is best utilized on the street. The forcing of the air into the combustion chamber allows more fuel to completely burn, delivering a larger explosion of fuel which equals more power to the drive system. This efficient use of fuel and air equals out to better fuel economy since your not relying on extra gas to get into traffic but rather gas and forced air! Turbo also gives you a better boost at higher speed, such as on highways when your trying to get to the theme park early. I did find one web site that made it pretty easy to see if you can upgrade your car to turbo. Yes, that's right, you can ADD turbo to your car if it didn't come factory installed. Years ago it was an expensive proposition but now it's very affordable. Do yourself a favor and check out www.turbochargerpros.com. They have an easy to use drop down application guide to see what is available for your make and model car.

Adventure Island

Adventure Island is a Key West style theme park. It has over 30 acres of water rides. One cool ride you may want to try is called Riptide. You and three other riders race each other lying on mats. Everyone goes down a height of 55 feet into your own enclosed tubes. The best part is twisting through a hairpin turn and then getting dumped into the four open-air lanes and that's when you plunge into the water. I know, it is a lot of fun. Adventure Island also has a wide selection of restaurants. If you like pizza and hot dogs head on over to Surfside Cafe. They also have one of my favorites which is homemade funnel cake. If your looking for ice cream, Gulf Scream Ice Cream has old fashioned sundaes, root beer floats, milk shakes and more. Adventure Island is located at 1001 Malcolm McKinley Drive, Tampa Florida 33601.

What holds it's vaule in a failing economy?

Who isn't looking for a solid investment these days? It's not easy trying to find what would be considered a safe investment. That's why you need to start thinking freshwater orient pearls at Pearl Distributors as a solid investment. These fresh water pearls are the highest grade. Right now the "Freshwater Orient" is under priced. In future years their value is predicted to climb, and jewelry will always be valuable regardless of where the dollar's at. The reason the "Freshwater Orient" have such high intrinsic value is because they, unlike many cultured pearls, are not simply a bead surrounded by a thin layer of nacre. They are pure nacre, the material pearls are made of, so pure pearl through and through. The "Freshwater Orient" are also valued because of their rarity. They are 1 in 10,000 pearls. The best in every way. They are the rare few that will keep their luster, and therefore their value, for generations. This is why now is a great time to purchase these beautiful fresh water pearls. Even if your going on vacation somewhere these pearls are just what's needed to dress up any outfit.

Feel Safe and Protect Your Business

There are so many different types of security systems out there. Sometimes choosing the right one can be a challenge. I have looked into Panasonic security cameras and like what I see. IT Planet has a wide range of visible security systems to help deter theft for businesses or organizations. For instance, in Chicago the police put in a video camera near a barber shop. Well the video camera worked because it is now quieter in that area where kids were hanging around. Security cameras really do help prevent gang-related crimes. Also these security cameras help catch shoplifters red-handed as well as help identify internal theft. When it comes to protecting your business, you can never be too safe. That is why protecting your business is so important. I know whenever I travel I feel so much safer when I see security cameras installed in different places I go.

Give your child special insurance for the future!

I usually discuss travel related issues here but there is a topic that is very important to our children-their health. I am addressing this because whether you live in the same location, were relocated or moved overseas you are still covered. Nobody can foresee the onset of a serious disease or debilitating illness but there may be something you can do to alleviate certain conditions, if not eliminate them all together. Saving lives through stem cell collection. Procedures now do not involve any controversial issues involving fetuses, as was once an issue. I want to talk to you about cord blood cells, more specifically, umbilical cord stem cells that would normally be discarded by the doctors after examination, post partum, for anything out of the ordinary. These cells can be stored in a cryogenic facility, keeping them alive in a frozen environment, in the event your child may have the need for these cells. Regardless of where you may live or where you are moving to, the collection for your child will be stored and ready for shipment to your physician in the event it is ever needed. Unlike the past when cryogenic procedures were in their infancy and very expensive, today there are many pricing and financing options available. I call this service a 'priceless insurance policy' for your children, especially if there are medical issues in your family history. For parents, choosing to store their child’s cord blood can be a priceless decision, as stem cells collected from cord blood can be used to treat 70 diseases, including leukemia, anemia, lymphoma, diabetes and cerebral palsy. Parents need to be informed about the emerging new discoveries happening in stem cell research today. Yet, for many families the financial investment may not be something they have prepared for—especially in today’s economy. That is why Cryo-Cell International is dedicated to educating expectant parents about the benefits of preserving their newborn's cord blood stem cells, while providing innovative, safe and affordable solutions for cord blood banking. Cryo-Cell offers a variety of pricing plans and financing options that help families make the best decisions that that fit their needs and budget. Please visit their website to see the current offers they have and give it some serious thought. You get one chance to utilize this for your child when they're born, make the right choice!

In fact, parents who have ever stored cord blood stem cells with ANY bank (private or public), qualify for Cryo-Cell’s Returning Client pricing. Both returning and new clients will be pleasantly surprised with Cryo-Cell’s storage option plans, as well as special limited-time offers which provide even greater savings and incentives! Storing cord blood is truly a priceless investment! Cryo-Cell makes it affordable.

You get one chance to take advantage of this situation for your child when they're born, make the right decision.

Conch Tour Train

If your looking for a great way to see what Key West has to offer then the Conch Tour Train is the way to go. This tour takes 90 minutes and has two stops along the way. You will be happy to know that the first stop which is at Station Depot you get a 10 minute break. Here you can go shopping, which is one of my favorite things to do. There is also a place for refreshments such as home made fudge or you may want some ice cream. At Flagler Station which is the second stop, you can get out and go for a walk and have a look around. You can always get on the train again next time it comes around. You may have a difficult time finding a seat if you board the train at Flagler Station. It is better if you can board the train at Front Street. During the tour, you will get to see Ernest Hemingway's House which is spectacular to see. You will also see the Key West Aquarium. This is a great place to check out moray eels, sharks and turtles and dozens of tropical fish. It is also one of the most popular stops. So sit back, relax and enjoy the tour on the Conch Tour Train.

Vacation Rentals in Alabama

I have found some great vacation rental homes. For instance, did you know that you can get a 2 bedroom, 1 bath which sleeps 4-6 people for only $27.00 a night at Sunrise Village, Gulf Shores, Alabama, USA? I know, I couldn't believe it either! I have stayed in hotels that cost more than that a night. The hotels didn't even compare to this vacation rental. When I stayed in hotels, I had to carry my laundry from the top floor all the way to the first floor. Well this vacation rental already comes equipped with it's own washer and dryer. I also like that this vacation rental has a full kitchen in it. I cannot tell you how many times I wished the hotels I stayed in had a kitchen. I could have brought my favorite foods along with me if I had a kitchen. I also like that there is free hi-speed Internet access and free nationwide telephone service here. I always bring my laptop with me when I travel so having hi-speed Internet access is very important to me. They also have a pool here and so much more. Next time I go on vacation I will be choosing gulf shores condos and Orange Beach beach rentals instead of choosing a hotel to stay in.
