Movie Man
Edil has been obsessed with collecting movies lately. After Torrent Anime movies, Pokemon games, Yugi-Oh, now it’s just movies - which is actually better because I can ride with his addiction (and finally catch up on movies I havent seen for the last five years, LOL). However, he wants to do edit movies, makes DVD menus and everything else - which, frankly, to me, is a waste of time. Because we just watch movies - we cant have them rented out - if we like the movie, we burn them to DVDs. If we dont, we delete it from the hard drive. Simple. He wants it to make more complicated by getting digital signage to further advance everything else. He tells me, rather untruthfully, that it may help with digital scrapbooking. Yeah, right? 
LOL
I won a RAK!
and one of a hybrid kind! Benga made a wish of mine came true when she picked me to give a RAK to.
Maybe I can now finish my printables in time.
Thanks Marix!!!

Djembe Djembe
The djembe drums are making a comeback in the mainstream music industry. They are actually in demand these days. According to Wikipedia: ‘A djembe (pronounced /ˈdʒɛmbeɪ/ JEM-bay) also known as djimbe, jenbe, jembe, yembe, or sanbanyi in Susu; is a skin covered hand drum, shaped like a large goblet, and meant to be played with bare hands. According to the Bamana people in Mali, the name of the djembe comes directly from the saying “Anke dje, anke be” which literally translates to “everyone gather together”, and defines the drum’s purpose. “Dje” is the verb for “gather” in Bamanakan, and “be” translates as “everyone” in Bamanakan.’
Hand drum specialty store X8 Drums announced today their new line of Pro African X8 djembe drums. Working closely with their overseas partners, X8 Drums is importing the finest selection of beautifully handcrafted djembe drums and djembe drum accessories. They are initially importing a limited number of custom models that are diverse enough to appease beginners through professionals and everyone in between. With gorgeous designs and professional build quality, the X8 djembe drum collection of drums are truly handmade works of art created by master carvers using only top-tier materials including: sustain ably harvested/Government inspected Mahogany wood, premium goatskin heads, and low stretch alpine 5mm braided rope.
Im sure this will be a great hit.
Cable TV Shopping
Ever tried getting presidential dollars from Cable TV shopping? Most Americans now prefer to shop at the the comforts of their own home that is why most of the time they shop online or through cable TV and phone their orders in. That is the basic idea of the Cable Shopping Network: a simple goal of providing easy access to a wide array of collectibles, having fun, and building relationships with their customers along the way. Im sure many people are grateful to be able to shop without having to inconvenience themselves. I hope I can try cable TV shopping sometime in the future.

Cars and their engines.
Ever used a second hand car? Make sure to test its engine first with midwest auto recycling before buying it - it can be more costly with the maintenance works than buying a new one, Im told. Midwest Auto Recycling specializes in used engines and transmissions and has one of the strongest warranty nation wide. All miles are CARFAX verified. All ENGINES come as a complete assembly. They are started, inspected for compression, cylinder leak down tested, checked for oil pressure and cleaned. ALL TRANSMISSIONS are test driven, visually inspected and cleaned. I need to consider these things when buying a car soon. I hope!
Spa Job Openings
Masseuses are in demand these days. It is because there is a growth spurt of spas and salons in the city (actually, everywhere). It is one way of confirming that people have a lot of stress to deal with nowadays and they need to unwind so much more than before. Recently, the company BeautyJobs launched a job placement website specifically catered to qualified job seekers with salon and spa owners and others who have beauty, salon, spa, or cosmetology jobs to fill—free of charge. So spa jobs like masseuses, nail and hairstylists are welcome there. I have a friend who just graduated from a Beauty Institute. I need to remember to refer her.
A Mustang?
Have you ever ridden a Mustang? It seems most men want to ride one and even own one - it is a boy’s car. I just dont know how to maintain and if the maintenance is costly. There is one thing I know though. A Mustang Radiator can be immediately replaced with Radiators.com’s quality service.Radiator.com is the leading web resource for automotive radiators and maintains the largest selection of Mustang radiators available on the web. The site is backed by over 150 warehouses across the country, providing quick delivery to any location in the United States. The beauty of the internet!

Karisma Hotels
The Riviera Maya has always been the place for destination weddings. I would want to try out the Karisma Hotel line of resorts. Karisma Hotels is a collection of divinely favored properties on secluded white-sand beaches on the Mexican Riviera Maya. The Resort collection offers Karisma’s new Gourmet-Inclusive concept, designed especially for foodies. Each resort presents its own surprising indulgences and the elite level of service that makes a vacation truly relaxing. Add luxurious accommodations invigorating entertainment and the classy snap-to service that responds to discerning travelers’ requests (whether indulgent or diet conscious), and Karisma Resorts become the first all-inclusive properties to focus on individual experiences for the affluent. Karisma concept of the luxury all-inclusive has no equal. Beach beds with retractable curtains for impromptu moments of ocean-view intimacy, beachside bar swings, dedicated Beach Butlers and design-conscious details all bespeak a private haven of privilege. Hot tubs and hammocks, swim-up rooms with ocean views, white gauze curtains floating over four poster beds, sunset margaritas served by a Beach Butler on a private stretch of sand, exquisitely presented food prepared by expert chefs…it’s all part of Karisma’s way of continuous pampering for one price.

Security Software
Internet and software security can now be dealt with - the power broker and powerpassword-user management edition (UME) access control solutions will fully support the new HP Integrity servers running the HP-UX 11i v3 operating system.

Kona Kava Farm - Hawaii
Have you heard of the Shaman Rattle Root? It is a hebal root that several tribal shaman claim to have healing powers. Everything is going organic nowadays. Many people have followed herbal treatments and acknowledged it as an alternative form of healing. That is the reason behind why there were people who persevered to get the Kona Kava Farm in Hawaii - to develop Kava products and the entire kona kava line. They want to have products grown in the US and India so they do not need to get supplies from third party suppliers.
What is the reason behind the Kona Kava Farm?
Modern-day spiritual explorers have gravitated towards this word ‘entheogen” because it literally means “becoming divine within.” Entheogen is closely related to “ethnobotanical”, though ethnobotanical is a broader term used for plants that possess healing properties such as Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum). Perhaps the oldest known entheogen is Amanita muscaria, and a close second is Ayahuasca. Others, such as Hawaiian Baby Woodrose, Morning Glory, and Blue Lotus have a more veiled place in Shamanic tradition, as does plants like the Shaman Rattle Root, but have a deeply-rooted place nonetheless.
Epocrates Medical Software
I hope that free medical applications for blackberry will be available for doctors here in our country soon. The only company I know who gives it for free is Epocrates. Their medical reference software is now used by over 500,000 healthcare professionals and with instant access to the application through their PDAs - diagnosis, treatment especially drug presciption and dosage can now be quicker than ever.
Epocrates drug reference guide is available for multiple devices and offers clinicians:

This announcement was paid for by Epocrates.
Seeking Legal Aid in Omaha?
If ever you are a resident of the City of Omaha or have a friend that needs legal assistance from accident compensation, you can go to Nebraska Personal Injury Lawyer Larry R. Demerath for assistance and consultation. He is a Personal Injury Attorney Omaha who has spent the last 35 years of his life helping his fellow Nebraskans get what they need after getting seious injuries resulting from negligence. He keeps you closely involved in your case as he investigates the facts, identifies the parties who can be held accountable, and presents your claim for resolution. He’s an effective negotiator who knows how to reach a favorable settlement through direct discussions with insurance companies and mediation, but he also has developed an impressive record at trial when the claim can’t be settled quickly and fairly. His reputation as a skilled courtroom lawyer helps promote early settlements.
Delayed Summer Travels.
It seems that we are going on a delayed summer travel trip this month. With my cousin from the US arriving, he wants to travel and check his father’s resthouses and tour his one year old daughter. So we are going to Tagaytay next weekend, the very same place where I had my debut party and my wedding preparations (I have a very soft place in my heart for Tagaytay). We might even go to Baguio, we are just finalizing the details. This should be fun - lots of pictures to scrap about - I am available anytime since I dont work anymore - the only hurdle is Matthew’s schooling. The best part of it all is it is all-expense paid - accomodation and travel expenses, and we dont need to look for a Hilton Head rental :). Love family trips!
Fantastic News
There are great new SSD Challenges debuting today

ETA: This still hasnt been done, I have been busy with preparing stuff for my son to go to school this Wednesday and we have gone to the city to visit relatives so my internet access has been very very limited. The New York movers I have been talking to are also making me busy as my relatives are moving cross country.
