Salt
If you’re an Angelina Jolie fan, then this is an exciting week for you because her latest film, “Salt”, opens this week. And she’s scheduled to make a last minute appearance at the Comic-Con Convention in San Diego to promote the movie. Fans everywhere are going to try to get last minute tickets, but supposedly this extremely popular convention was sold out months ago… last year, if I’m not mistaken.
I found a review of the film here.
And of course there’s the official site and trailer.

The Official Site
“Salt” is a very silly movie, and by the end of its brisk and breathless running time (and I mean that literally), it makes the “Bourne” movies look like documentaries.

I also wrote about this juicer over here.
So far I’m like the Z-Star Manual Wheatgrass Juicer very much.
It’s manual so I don’t use any electricity at all, a big plus for all you green, sustainable living folks.
But, it’s very easy to use and the hand crank works very smoothly.
I was able to easily juice wheatgrass, oranges, celery, cucumbers and watermelon. Though, it was a bit tougher to juice the harder types of fruits and veggies, like carrots and watermelon rinds. But, it can be done.

Reassess And Reduce
There is no doubt (and it goes without saying) that people have REALLY been feeling the financial pinch these past few years.
But whether economic times are good or bad (and even if you feel there is no need to, financially speaking), it is always wise to search for better ways to cut costs, and lower your monthly bills.
And, reassessing your current insurance costs can help you save in the long run, thus reduce monthly costs.
Free Insurance Quote Sites
Nowadays, in today’s highly competitive insurance market, one can find the best deals by simply going online, and getting the best home insurance quotes… for free.
Many web sites that offer “free quotes” can be very useful and can provide you with the best deals for the same coverage, whether you’re looking for something specific like insurance for business in Illinois, or something more basic such as auto insurance.

The Hotel Capri
This is a continuation from Part 1 in the series.
On our first day in Venice, it rained!
I remember passing through the train station and coming out the other side to catch a first glimpse of Venice and it was pouring and the skies were dark and cloudy.
We had to walk to the Hotel Capri, which on Google Maps below looks like it is very close to the train station, but because it was our first time in Venice and we didn’t know the streets, it seemed a mile away.

I’m not really good about uploading all the photographs I’ve taken.
Usually, I’m too critical about my photography skills. And, it wasn’t until only a few years ago that I finally bought a decent digital camera, just in time to take photos at my parents’ 50th Anniversary celebration.
But, these photos taken 5 years ago in Venice, Italy, aren’t too bad. I had a cheap digital camera but it did the job. And, reviewing these pics (just rediscovering them after all these years) is really nice. I’m looking back with fond memories now of the family’s trip to Europe.

Top 10 Posts: 2010
Below you’ll find the most popular posts within the first 6 months of 2010.
I enjoy writing these Top-10-Posts articles every now and then, as many of you are aware. For me it’s just fun, but I think it also helps Google and other search engines proper index my most popular sites.
There. I confess this is a kind of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) “white hat” technique that I’ve been doing these past few years, which seems to work, I think.
If anything, at least this habit:
- keeps me aware of my most popular posts.
- helps me to get writing ideas for new posts by looking back at older ones.
- helps me to simply reflect on my work here.
- forces me to look at my statistics on Google Analytics.
- helps me to understand what my audience finds most entertaining and interesting.

Being More Frugal
I know of a few people who are exeptionally thrifty and can take advantage of promotions and coupons and come away from the supermarket saving quite a bit of money and, I’ve done that too when I actually set my mind to it. It’s important to follow through and be persistent in order to generate savings.
The following tips might be considered common sense, but the idea is to make it a weekly habit to save money. But you have to ask yourself, are you truly making this a habit to save? Be aware of the money you are spending and make it a habit to constantly look out for special deals out there, and save.
