It's true. University and college students do have the "ideal" life. We share rooms
with our friends, and have our own little, segmented communities. We are learning
the secrets of the universe, developing our minds into powerful tools that can do
anything we want. We have everything we need within walking distance of our
rooms (well, mostly) and we don't even have to cook for ourselves. On top of it all,
we are in a highly concentrated area of prospective mates. Could anything be easier?
I say "heck yes it can be easier!"
The reason for saying this is simply that there are many stereotypes surrounding
university students and the like. Most of them either stating how lucky we are, or
how reckless we are. I'd like to remind everyone that there is only one way to get
accurate information... The source! Of course we don't live perfect lives,
we aren't allowed hot-plates and public showers and bathrooms SUCK. Have you
ever eaten at meal hall? Or should I more accurately ask if you've ever taken vice-
grips to your stomache and pesticide to your tastebuds? As far as University being a
"dating connection" dream on. It's just as hard here as it is everywhere else, the only
difference is that we don't have to travel very far to get shot down (by the decent
ones).
It's fine and good to try and use an article such as this to dispell such
stereotypes, but what if we had a way to give the rest of the world a first-hand look
at our lives as students? Well, now we can. The website www.Res-Rants.com is on
the hunt for college students willing to give an account of a campus related mishap.
Any sort of prank, any drunken night, and any thing school related (humor is a
virtue). These stories are all going to be compiled into one large ebook to be sold
on the internet. The best part of the whole deal is that by submitting your story, you
are ensuring yourself a free copy of the finished product. Better yet is that all of the
money brought in off of the ebook is going towards publishing costs to get it turned
into an honest-to-god book. This is a great opportunity for us to show the rest of
the world how things REALLY are. More importantly it's a chance to produce
something as a collective, as a unified mass, that is representative to our fun-
loving, mischievous ways.

Why Slovakia is Hot For International Property Investors
It's rare for me to get excited about a new emerging market but I believe Slovakia is worth getting excited about. Real estate investors seeking new frontiers to invest in international real estate should get on the internet right now and start to research the prospects that the Eastern European country offers.
Despite the global slowdown that has reduced confidence in many European housing markets it seem Slovakia remains an attractive proposition to investors.
During 2008 Slovakia's economy has been one of the bright spots in Eastern Europe this year, and it is expected to come in at over 7 percent growth for the year. While the country's central bank and other analysts have lowered the forecast for growth in 2009, it is still expected to be near 5 percent or even above that amount. That will make it one of the strongest economies in Europe.
Slovakian real estate prices are still low compared to other European countries and leave plenty of room for capital growth. The only restriction Slovakia has imposed on the purchase of real estate by overseas buyers is on agricultural and forestry land.
The Slovakian government demonstrates its forwarding thinking by its approach to renewable energy. Slovakia is looking at solar energy as a means to provide the country with clean, renewable energy resources. The country has two solar power plants in the works in Rimavska Sobata and Orechova Poton.
The country has a small but growing economy focused on automobiles, electronics and construction. The slowdown in Europe will affect the exports of these products, but they should still see solid growth, according to experts. The country will officially adopt the euro as its currency at the beginning of 2009, which will lock in lower interest rates and is expected to help boost the economy.
Bratislava's M.R. Stefanik Airport (BTS) is set for expansion, which will help the growing country and the capital area. The airport is the main international destination in Slovakia and is 12 kilometers to the northeast of downtown Bratislava. The airport currently serves over 2 million travellers , which is an increase of 700% since 2001. The airport is served by several low cost companies, including Ryanair and SkyEurope, which has helped to grow in the past several years. Other companies that fly here include Aeroflot, Lufthansa, Air Slovakia and Czech Airlines, plus a number of charter carriers which are in service mostly during the summer holiday season.
In addition to its main industry, travel and tourism are taking an increasingly important share in Slovakia's economy. The capital city of Bratislava is a growing hub of culture as well as being the focus of political and economic life. It has many museums and cultural festivals every year that draw in thousands of visitors. The National Gallery is the largest and most well known art museum in the country.
Outside of the capital city, the many small towns have plenty of old and interesting buildings for visitors to explore and enjoy. The country's location between Vienna and Eastern Europe means it has a wide range of buildings constructed over the past 1,000 years. Influences include the Austro-Hungarian Empire as well as the Ottomans. Castles, churches and countless old towns and villages are a history lovers' dream.
The outdoors also offers plenty of attractions for those who visit Slovakia. The country has several beautiful national parks as well as mountains, valleys, forests and rivers to explore. The Tatra Mountains in the northern part of the country offer great scenery and the most visited national park, the High Tatras or Vysoke Tatry. There is skiing, mountain climbing, hiking and lots of natural wonders to see. Other parks have more to offer, including forests, rivers and caves for explorers.
It seems that the case for investing property in Slovakia is a solid one but like any investment their is always an element of risk, however Slovakia is definitely ticking all the right boxes.

Think Globally - Drink Locally
Green Beer - It's not just for St. Patrick's Day anymore.
Can drinking locally brewed beer, rather than massed produced beer save the planet? Probably not, but there are some benefits beyond drinking better beer. We make our beer choices based on what our tastes prefer…and rightfully so. However, if you're interested in the green movement, being eco-friendly, sustainability, and the like, locally brewed beer is a much better choice than a mass produced beer that was made far away.
The "greenest" option for beer is to drink the one that is brewed closest to your current location, and is served on tap. Draft beer is packaged and shipped in re-usable kegs, plus it's served in glasses that are re-used, rather than bottles that typically end up in a landfill. Locally brewed beer dramatically cuts down on the amount of fuel consumption and pollution created by shipping beer across the country. They say an average beer travels over 1,000 miles from the brewery to your mug. That's a lot of beer miles!
Another green option for local breweries is the use of "growlers". A growler is a re-usable half-gallon glass jug. Many brew pubs and microbreweries will sell you a growler of beer to take home that you can bring back for repeated refills, typically at a discounted price. Make sure you clean your growler well before getting it refilled. Hot water alone works best, because soap can leave behind residue that will ruin your beer. Beer doesn't keep well in a growler, so try to drink it within a few days of purchase.
If you don't have a local brewery that makes beer to your satisfaction, you could take drinking locally brewed beer a step further, and brew your own. Drinking local beer won't save the planet, but it will help. Since even the small steps we take to save the environment are important, think globally by drinking locally. Worst-case scenario is you'll find some really great local beer, and keep your money in the local economy.

SOMA ? San Francisco's Bustling New Downtown; The Argent Hotel is in the Hub of What's Hot
SAN FRANCISCO ? A city of endless sights and sounds, sightseeing in San Francisco is an exercise in strategic planning. There?s always more to discover?and never enough time. Fortunately, guests at The Argent have the benefit of being in the South of Market (SOMA) area. SOMA, San Francisco?s trendy new downtown, is a great location central to The City?s thriving business district, arts and culture, shopping, entertainment and children?s activities.
For business travelers, The Argent is conveniently located right across Market Street from the Financial District. Also steps away, the Moscone Convention Center is home to over 700 conventions and trade shows each year, drawing professionals from around the world.
There are also a variety of artistic and cultural activities surrounding The Argent. The hotel overlooks the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, less than a block away down Third Street.
From the museum, cross Third Street to the Yerba Buena Gardens and Center for the Arts. The center?s visual and performing arts provide a forum for the work of San Francisco?s artistic and ethnic communities. The adjacent 5.5-acre Esplanade Garden is an ideal resting spot.
Baseball fans can make a straight shot down Third Street to Pacific Bell Ballpark. Seating more than 40,000, the new home of The San Francisco Giants is located in SOMA?s China Basin.
The Argent is conveniently located for all your shopping needs. San Francisco?s grandest shopping avenue, Post Street, is just two blocks from The Argent?s front door. Post Street is where you?ll find Armani, Cartier, Coach, Gianni Versace, and San Francisco?s own, Gump?s.
Further up Post is one of the West Coast?s most elegant shopping destinations ? Union Square. Union Square boasts a mix of international designer boutiques, sumptuous gift stores, fine art galleries and major luxury retailers such as Macy?s Flagship store, Neiman Marcus, Sax Fifth Avenue and Tiffany & Co.
A block and a half down Market Street, San Francisco Shopping Centre is anchored by a 5-story Nordstrom department store. Riding America?s only spiral escalators through the nine-story mall, shopper?s can discover a unique mix of upscale and trendy retailers.
The Argent?s neighborhood also houses various entertainment venues. The Sony Metreon Entertainment Center is a four-minute walk from the hotel. This venue combines interactive family attractions, a Sony Style store, the Discovery Channel Destination store, restaurants, an upscale nightclub, and a movie theater, including San Francisco?s only SONY-IMAX? screen.
For entertainment of a more thespian nature, go to San Francisco?s nearby theater row. On any given night, there is an overwhelming selection of traditional and contemporary shows.
Traveling families will find endless activities on the Rooftop at Yerba Buena Gardens, located on top of the Moscone Convention Center. Highlights include Zeum, San Francisco's new art and technology center for kids, and the fully restored 1903 Charles Looff antique carousel. The Rooftop also features a regulation-sized ice skating rink, bowling alley and child care center.
Exciting future projects in SOMA include Jessie Square. Located behind the hotel, the square will be the meeting point for The Mexican Museum, The Jewish Museum, and St. Patrick?s Catholic Church. The stone-paved square, with outdoor cafรฉ seating and a major water sculpture, will open in 2002.
The Argent is at the hub of San Francisco?s public transportation system. Just take a short stroll to Powell and Market Streets to catch a ride ? and some great views ? on a cable car.
Enjoy a slightly longer walk down Market Street towards the Ferry building and take a ferry to picturesque Sausalito and other points around the Bay. Also at this intersection, ride the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) ? the fastest trans-bay transport to all East Bay attractions.
The guest services team at The Argent has information on all these attractions and more. Ask about special agreements and seasonal offers.
The Argent Hotel stands high above San Francisco?s new downtown ? the artistically cosmopolitan-chic South of Market Area (SOMA). With breathtaking floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views and custom furnishings, each of the Hotel?s 667 recently remodeled guestrooms and suites are designed with metropolitan elegance in mind. Equipped for business, and designed for pleasure, The Argent Hotel offers warm, attentive service delivered with true San Francisco flair. Cozy, contemporary, cool?discover The Argent and discover style. For more information visit our web site at www.argenthotel.com.

Fighting Global Warming
There are multiple lists of tips on how to reduce global warming. Many of these tips are really common knowledge now and even before saving the planet was cool, some of these tips were presented as ways to save money. Tips such as weatherizing your home, insulating the hot water heater and taking a shower instead of a bath were all money saving tips before they were tips on fighting global warming.
There are so many other ways people can fight global warming on their own small scale and in their day to day lives. All it takes is a small idea to get the ball rolling into a large movement.
For instance, one very large concern is water bottles. Everybody knows those will sit in a landfill forever. There has been a movement recently for people to purchase a reusable bottle and refill their own water at home instead of continuing to purchase cases of bottled water.
Eating and buying food is another area where global warming can be fought. It is not often thought of as a place where this can be done but looking at it, one can see where it would be a viable place to do just that. Purchase food locally. Many big cities and even small towns have farmer's markets where produce can be bought. These foods have not traveled across the country to wind up in the local large chain stores but are grown locally and brought to the market with much less fuel used to get it there. An added bonus is if the locally grown food is organic because that means the farmers are not using chemicals to grow the foods that wind up in our bodies, our water supply and in the ground.
Of any tip a person can use, the most important one is making your voice heard. Talk about global warming and what you are doing to fight it. Invite your friends, family and co-workers to join you in some small changes that can make a big impact. Let your lawmakers know that you want what is best for the planet and encourage them to fight with you by passing helpful legislation.
With new ways to fight global warming being discovered and used every day and making changes in your day to day life, there will be so many benefits to the planet as a whole. Encouraging others will further the cause and make the movement stronger.
If you want to help the fight against global warming help support the Dot Eco initiative to establish the .eco top level domain. This new initiative powered by Dot Eco LLC, will donate over 50% of domain registration proceeds back to fund scientific initiatives and research in climate change, ocean analysis, economic policy, and other environmentally-related areas. Dot Eco has partnered with Al Gore and the Alliance for Climate Protection to bring the “.eco” top level domain to life.

Travel To England - A Setting Sun, A Dawning Era
The sun may have set on the English Empire of history books, but by no means is England's worldly cultural influence waning. The cosmopolitan hot-spots of sophisticated London and avant-garde Manchester speak to the global future while the Roman remnants in Bath and Celtic heritage at Stonehenge stand as monumental tributes to a time past but not forgotten.
Experience England
Culinary Intrigue
The Brits may not traditionally be known, or even praised, for their gastronomic heritage; however, England has recently experienced a culinary renaissance of sorts and can proudly boast 14 of the world's top 50 restaurants. Erase thoughts of porridge and stodge - the British dining experience has abandoned its starchy past and embarked on a journey through multicultural and international cuisine, particularly in the South. England's colonial history comes forth in London's exquisite choice of Indian restaurants. Despite this new food wave, make sure not to pass on the Yorkshire pudding and Beef Wellington when traveling through the North, which offers exceptional renditions of more traditional dishes.
From London to Land's End
Upon arrival in the English region of this massive island, it is important to include travel outside of London for the full British experience. England's most southwestern tip of Cornwall is home to the legendary sea-cliffs below Penzance and the dramatic peninsula of Land's End where a 25 mile trail will take you along some of the most beautiful stretches of ocean. Cornwall is also known for its architectural landmarks, including Cotehele, a most impressive Tudor mansion and museum along the river Tamar. Travel northeast to encounter ancient towns nestled in the picturesque countryside of The Cotswolds. This region is extremely popular for a glimpse into the idyllic English lifestyle with its 14th century stone and thatched roof cottages and cobblestone alleys. Keep in mind that the southern regions are heavily traveled in the months of July and August by locals and foreigners alike due to the warmer weather.
Farther north, the ancient spa town of Bath is famous for the 2000 year-old Roman bathhouses, which are still open to the public, in addition to Saxon ruins and the history of local Christianity told by the Heritage Vaults. Shakespeare buffs should not miss Stratford-upon-Avon, his home town located in the Midlands. Shakespeare and his family are buried at the Holy Trinity Church in the heart of town. While visiting the most northern regions, travel through York to see Europe's largest Gothic cathedral, York Minster, and walk along the immaculately preserved medieval street of The Shambles. Even more enchanting are the still-standing city walls that enclose a magical mix of history and modernity in a city that was once the Danish capital of Viking England.
A Region of Global Heritage
Aside from England's ancient history, no other nation has had such a hand in human progress in the modern era. At one time the English Empire encompassed stretches of the globe from Australia and India to Canada and America. England helped push the world stage into Industrial Revolution; the Midlands are home to the world's first industrial cities. The land of Chaucer, Shakespeare and Dickens, Saxons, Celts and Normans, is an intriguing and essential journey for anyone interested in the formation of contemporary global culture.
