A Career in Day Trading
November 22nd, 2010 · No Comments · Finance :: Stocks, Bond & Forex
The other day I ran into an old college classmate who I had not seen in years. We stopped to visit and I asked what he is doing now. I was very surprised to learn that he is now in the Stock Day Trading System. We majored in biology so I’m not exactly sure how or why he made this career switch, but he did seem happy. I know a little about day trading but not enough to carry on a reasonable conversation so we stuck to easier subjects. All through college, he swore he would never have kids and now he has eight with another one the way. I, on the other hand, only have three and wanted the large family.

The Biggest Honeywell Air Cleaner Worked for My House
November 19th, 2010 · No Comments · Home :: Home Improvement
I shopped for quite a while to find the best home air cleaning system for my home. Honeywell air cleaners were rated highly, so I chose one of theirs. I got the biggest unit, so it would take care of my whole house. It uses hepa air filters so it catches smaller particles like mold spores and allergens. It also uses ionizers, electronic filtration and activated carbon filtering to get the most particles and odors out of my home air so we can all breath a lot easier. The investment was a little more than I planned, but well worth it.
