Why Are More And More People Taking Luxury Holiday Cruises?

Written by Dorothy Yamich on March 9, 2010 – 2:59 am

In this era of faster everything, including faster and larger commercial airliners where passengers are packed in like sardines, one thing seems to remain constant. That is the wonderful, leisurely world of cruising. For many years the airline industry has experienced numerous setbacks, while the cruise industry has been growing by leaps and bounds. There are many reasons why you should consider becoming a part of this amazing phenomenon. Here are some of them.

According to recent research from the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), ninety-five percent of cruisers give top marks to their cruising experience and more than seventy-five percent plan to cruise again within three years.

Contrary to what some people think, cruises are really affordable. Usually, with most vacations you end up paying for airline flights, hotels or resorts, restaurants, entertainment, and possibly car rentals. If you add these costs up, cruises can really be a bargain. When you book a luxury cruise, in most cases you will pay for the airfare and cruise. However, if you do live close enough to your cruise ship departure port, you may be able to drive there a way lot cheaper than flying.

House Renovation: How Can Mothers Deal With It

Written by Brayan Rogers on March 9, 2010 – 2:58 am

Every corner and cranny of your home was comforting when suddenly, an offer of a new beginning came knocking on your door. Straightaway, you saw your tainted curtains, your dull furniture, and your boring lay-out. You remembered one quotation, “Do not do for tomorrow what you can do for today.” Weird as it may seem, this quote became more real to you than at any time that you have been a mother to three beautiful kids. Being the mother, you understood that you are the only one who can do it; the one who has got the eye of the tiger for details. You wavered; but were innervated when you have recalled seeing shows in the television and learning much about it on magazines. In a brief moment you told yourself: My cognizance is enough! What you desire to do finally came out, encapsulated in one word: renovation!

Scranton Tax Payers Might Have Received A Collection Letter They May Not Have Deserved

Written by Mallory Megan on March 9, 2010 – 2:53 am

More than 200 Scranton taxpayers might have been mailed a letter from a collection agency they didn’t deserve. The notices are for unpaid garbage fines that might have actually been paid. According to officials, the garbage bill itself for 2009 could be to blame for more than 200 collection notices that were sent to city taxpayers in error last week.

They believe the issue may have been the way that the bills were folded into the envelopes. The bill is mailed along with a perforated line above a bar code that identifies the customer, but because a crease created by the folding of the envelope, a second line under the bar code was formed, causing people to pull the bill off without the bar code.

Bills without a bar code would cause a bank not to register the payment. The mailing house that Scranton hired to stuff the envelopes was blamed. If the bill was mailed to the bank, it would be the pay stub in their payment that goes straight into a lock box. The stubs are then scanned and the bar code is read. After that the bank sends the town a list of those who had come through based on the bar code readings.

It has been estimated that more than a million bags are lost by the airlines each year in the U.S. alone. How many bags get lost in the whole world is anybody’s guess. Here are a few tips that might help you find your bags should they get lost.

You should attach two or three tags with your name, home address, and phone number to the handle and zipper-pulls of each bag that you are checking.

Make sure that you have removed any old airline tracking tags that are still attached to your luggage as they could confuse the baggage handlers.

Protect Yourself Against Debt Collection Scams

Written by Mallory Megan on March 9, 2010 – 2:39 am

The government is stepping up as debt collection scams rise. In recent news, Buffalo New York has been home to a number of unlawful debt collection practices, and authorities have arrested at least twelve people. Although the vast majority of collection agencies are legitimate and good for the economy, there has been a rising amount of deceptive and illegal practices.

In Buffalo, debt collectors have been caught calling up debtors and saying that they are law enforcement. They have threatened to send debtors to prison, or even take child custody away from them. And it doesn’t stop there.

A recent civil case imposed a $675,000 penalty ever imposed on a debt collection business, for illegal and deceptive practices. This includes badgering and lying to consumers, disclosing their debt to third parties, and cashing in on post dated checks early. These tactics were accompanied by deceptive claims from agents saying they were lawyers or other figures of authority.

Refusing to let consumers know the address or phone number of the “business” these bill collectors even went as far as to contact individuals who did not owe any money at all and attempted to collect from them. Despite claims that it was individual workers acting fraudulently, the Federal Trade Commission went after the business owners and won a case that imposed the biggest penalty ever for debt collection agencies.

Keyboard Piano and Guitar Lessons

Written by Hayes B. Won on March 9, 2010 – 2:33 am

I don’t know a person who didn’t wish they knew how to play music, wether they want to start a band, play at a BBQ or around a campfire, with friends and family. Learning to play can be fun and rewarding. Sometimes you need lessons to learn the guitar piano or keyboard. Yes it can be frustrating. but when you first play something on your own it feels really good. Even better when you can get together with friends and make some music.

learning to play the tone flute had a profound effect on my life. I never forgot how to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star or how a cheap black plastic flute could be so much fun. I spent hours blowing on the Tone flute and had a great time playing with it.

Since 1985 when I learned to read music from my music teacher Mr. Wagner, I have enjoyed music everyday. I don’t remember much about the man who taught me other then he wore too much polyester. I was five years old and I still remember his lessons. EVERY GOOD BOY DOES FINE if you remember that you can read music. Thanks to Mr. Wagner.
