Virtual stock trading

Gaming has become a fantastic leisure pursuit for many people these days and it sure can be fun to pit your wits against an opponent or several opponents in a high action game. Another thing that, at times at least, can to some degree resemble being caught up in an exciting game is stock trading.

I’m sure you’ve all seen the images of traders on the stock floor frantically buying or selling stocks at the best possible prices. It seems like some high octane game with complex rules and regulations, only known to the insiders.

Check out this great virtual stock market for that great combination of a multi-player game and a virtual stock trading experience. The game is easy to play and great fun. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

Doggies

Honestly, you can't walk for dogs in this part of town. Everywhere you go the pavement is dominated by people walking miniscule silly dogs. It's crazy. I wouldn't mind if they had real dogs of a certain size and 'normal' brand but it's all those little lap dog critters that fit inside a handbag. What sort of status symbol is that? I can understand the silver Merc, the swimming pool but those dreadful little dogs? Naff, to say the least.

Aftershave and fragrances

There is a great place online where you can get the best fragrances. All the major brands are available at a great price so you should definitely look into this. The outlet is called Fragrance Online and here you can lay your hands on the best fragrances and the best brands of aftershave imaginable.

Rain

I have been revelling in the rain and cooler temperatures recently. It was a tad sad to say goodbye to the really hot weather but on the other hand it is really a bit of a relief. Well, I survived my first real Aussie summer in one piece, I'm glad to say. And now it is down to autumn and winter. I may escape up to FNQ at some stage though and soak up some more rays.

Yamaha ATV issue

We all tend to love our vehicles, be they cars, four wheel drives, motor bikes, or bicycles. And of course we enjoy using these marvellous machines on outings, or just when we go for a ride to chase away the cobwebs, so to speak. But, apart from having fun, which I would argue is imperative, there is another factor that weighs heavily when looking at these pursuits, namely the factor safety. With everything you do on the road or even off road safety has be foremost in your attitude. You can make sure that you your self are a safe and responsible user with regard for your fellow traffic users. This sort of is common sense, I think you will agree.

But sometimes there is a mechanical fault in a new model vehicle and in that case the factor of safety awareness suddenly becomes of paramount importance. And, it goes without saying that a responsible manufacturer will do their utmost to make repairs and if necessary recall the vehicles in question.

Now, then I want to call your attention to a Yamaha Rhino Rollover issue that you may want to be aware of, just to make sure you are not affected. Yamaha has recently had to recall more of the Rhino Side by Side (S+S) ATV vehicles because of a risk of rolling over. These rollovers have caused significant injuries to riders and these have led to lawsuits.

Cat

Still miss my two cats every now and then. They were so lovely to have around. But a few doors down from my building lives a gorgeous black cat with one of those foxy snouty faces. He/she is always very friendly and gives me a nod or greets me with a kind word or two. Aren't cats great? I can see why the Egyptians had the cat goddess Bastet. Quite right..

Stock options trading

Of course, we have all been hearing the news about the economic down turn and the slowing down of the major economies. A lot of people, therefore, will be forced to be more careful with their spending budgets. But, of course, just because the economy is experiencing some upheaval that does not mean you can’t earn good money and make a genuine profit if you know where to look.

You may want to think about, for instance, stock options trading as a means of increasing your capital funds. Check out PowerOptions, which is a great resource for investors whether you are just learning to trade options or whether you are an experienced option trader. Check it out now. It may well be to your advantage.

Dedication II

I managed to sort of watch the first half, dozing off every now and then although it was a good match. It was just to bleedin’ early, dear Diary. Unfortunately, the Blues won the game as well so I was disappointed. Even Stevie G. could not help turn the tide and Chelsea rolled up the match with three goals to one. Blast!

Dedication

Living in Australia you sometimes feel far removed from certain things you were once used to enjoying on a regular basis. One of these is watching Champions League football matches. I loved coming home from work and, after dinner settling in to watch the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal compete on the big stage. So, on Thursday I got up at 4.30 to watch the live coverage of Liverpool versus Chelsea. That’s dedication for you!

Rare coin collecting

Lots of people have fantastic hobbies that they enjoy spending time and money on. For some other people their hobbies have developed into veritable passions. These leisurely pastimes or spare time pursuits can be whatever you like. The options are limitless, really. Some people enjoy collecting postal stamps, others go for long hikes in the country, yet others love reading and writing and so on and so forth.

However, some hobbies can be quite lucrative as well. For instance, if you are into buying and selling rare coins you could really be on to something good. You may want to look for an excellent source to build your very own rare coin collection such as for example Monaco who can present you with opportunities that are available for you on the rare coin market right now. Make sure to check it out because you don’t want to lose out.

Flags

I was reading an entertaining book about Britain entitled Blighty. It was written by Steve Lowe and Alan McArthur. It's a wry look at the places and people in Britain that remain puzzling and sometimes odd in their allure. They visit druids' ceremonies at Stonehenge, ancient pubs rife with local folklore, the giant priapic chalk outline of Cerne Abbas and more besides. They also have a look at Wales, of course, and they mention somewhere that the Welsh flag, featuring the mighty red dragon, is known, at least in Wales, as the world's oldest flag.

I have to admit that this was news to me but I like the notion of this flag with its powerful symbol is so old. If you have to rally to a banner then it might as well be one with a big majestic dragon on it.

I used to live in Somerset, an English county but very close to Wales, and the county's coat of arms or logo also had a dragon in it. No one likes an effete and forgettable symbol. The dragon rules. That's what I say..

Being here

Just over a few months since I landed at Sydney Airport and things are working out rather well. I have my own place, some furniture and am really enjoying myself here. Life just seems a bit easier down here and I am really getting accustomed to a more laid-back attitude to life. Lord knows I could do with unwinding a bit. I think I might get into Tai Chi over here. Yesterday, I went for a swim in the local pool. I think it is all going to work out okay.

A wonderful vacation

Can you tell me: Is there anything in this world better than going somewhere wonderfully romantic for your vacation? Usually, you will want any vacation to be a wonderful one but more importantly now you can stay in a truly outstanding Adults Only Hotelwhich makes your vacation of a lifetime just right, I think you will agree. There are many destinations to choose from when considering where to go for your vacation.

You should certainly check out the white sand beaches of Riviera Maya. You see, the word Karisma comes from the Greek and means ‘divine favour’. Karisma hotels is a group of divinely favoured properties located on stunning white sand beaches on the Mexican Riviera Maya. This is the ultimate destination for a gloriously romantic vacation. This is a silver style vacation option that is certain to impress. Especially, since there is a wonderful emphasis on gourmet-style food choices. Why not go for it!

Footy

Just watched a bit of football. Ronalde was doing his party trick and kicking a free kick with much aplomb. He really is a good player even though he seems like a real so and so. But I suppose if Wayne Rooney can forgive him perhaps he is all right after all. I just don't go in for those coiffed latin players, really. Big girl blouses..

All the leaves are still green

Summer has gone but it's still rather warm. I don't mind it if the weather gets a bit cooler. I'm looking forward to that crisp fresh sunny weather that I experienced here a few years ago when I visited in the month of June. There were some beautiful clear skies then and a wonderful freshness to the air that I breathed. Roll on!

Tennessee beauty schools

I would argue that we all realise that education is an important issue these days and for young people looking for a college or other type of training it is not always easy to find the right path that is suitable for their situation. There are all sorts of people and not every kind of training or schooling will be the right choice. Of course, there is a multitude of schools and colleges to choose from and that in itself, that huge choice of options, is not always a great help.

I want to let you know about these cosmetology schools in tennessee that I have heard about. They are Regency beauty schools and they just happen to be the fastest growing beauty school in the land. They have expanded from a mere two Minnesota schools in 2002 to nearly thirty campuses in a number of states and it looks like they will keep growing in the future, I think we can safely say.

Beer

After a tough day at work I repaired to the pub with a friend for a few schooners. I also enjoyed a nice steak dinner but mostly it was beer o'clock, you won't be surprised. Ah well. I didn't plump for the Fat Yak beer they were advertising. I do have some standards to keep up. Of course, there was rugby on the giant screens, as usual, but I enjoyed letting off steam for a few hours..

The sweetest fragrance

Being a red blooded male subscriber to the human species I can honestly state that there are two things in the world that I find eminently appealing: One is the sound of a woman’s high heels clicking on a marble floor; the other is the fragrance of a stimulating and arousing perfume on a lady’s neck. There, I have said it. The right type of perfume or fragrance can evoke a whole intoxicating world of sensual pleasure and a deep sense of well being and delight.

One of my favourite perfumes remains Chanel No. 5 as I happen to entertain classic tastes and you cannot improve upon perfection. Funnily enough, I also really like the smell of coriander but I don’t know whether that would make for a successful perfume, to be honest.

Check out this great new perfume blog if you want to know more about perfumes and fragrances. It is great site with lots of interesting sections and a wealth of information.
