Too much tech

Guest written by our friend Katie Callahan

We got clear when I moved here and I couldn’t be happier. I love that it’s so mobile and flexible and I spend no time anymore looking for wireless networks or even looking for a Seat in Starbucks. I don’t remember when we went from not having the internet to that being ALL that there was but boy have we become a culture obsessed. You can’t go anywhere without people on their phones and women on their iPads and who knows what’s next – I read the other day about a tattoo that VIBRATES when you get a text! Can you believe some people would do that to themselves? I love being technologically savvy but at some point we’re going to have to stop or we’re all going to turn into robots. I wish we spent more time having face to face conversations and less time chatting with each other online – that’s the way it used to be and I think there’s something to be said for that way of life.

We recently learned that my husband had gotten a new job that he applied for and that we were going to be moving to the City of Brotherly Love, Philly. I don’t know anything about the city, I actually had never been, only seen it on the movie with Tom Hanks. So we when found out, we went apartment hunting. We found a great quiet apartment close to his office and also close to all of the attractions. It is really an old and beautiful city. We are moving next week and I am getting everything lined up and finalized. I am going up early to meet the installers from direct tv Phila and also to meet with the painters and have the home painted to our taste before the movers show up next Saturday. My family is sad that we are leaving, but I really think that we are going to enjoy living there. Moving to a new city is always an adventure! This is certainly going to be one!

Isn’t that wonderful if you learn more than one or two new languages? I speak three languages like English, Cebuano (our native language) and Tagalog, our main language in the Philippines.

I have relatives who work in the middle east as an overseas worker and of course she needs to learn a little bit of their language that way she can easily understand them. Usually they speak Turkish and Arabic and since she is looking for a Turkish translation service(s), I recommend her this website at rosetta translation. They have Turkish Translation(s) available.

Getting Channels Now

Post contributed by Hilton Miranda

About a year ago I researched different prices so I could decide how to Bundle Clear Internet packagesappropriately for my family. I had to make sure I had all the good kids networks like The Disney Channelas well as Nickelodeon, since that's pretty much all my son likes to watch all day long and I'm okay with it since it's educational. My daughter is a preteen, so she really needed channels like MTV, so I had to make sure those were included. My husband likes sports, so the NFL network and all the ESPN's were a necessity, and I like everything home and travel related, so I made sure to include The Travel Channel As Well as HG TV. I think I got us all set up with the right package, and I actually really enjoyed having Internet included as well. I didn't realize how much I missed having an Internet connection at home, half my time nowadays sitting in front of one screen or another somewhere in my house!

International sounds

Guest post written by Jamie Kingston

I’m kind of a music snob, but that’s the first step to recovery, right? Well, anyway one of my favorite music-related things to talk about are international bands. So I use a lot of my time on the Internet watching music videos with English subtitles and looking up the literal meanings of lyrics in languages with which I’m not familiar.

See, I just don’t like listening to the music, I like to learn the context in these respective bands’ cultures in which their lyrics and music fit through an internet provider I found as a satalite internet special. That helps me better understand their message and motivation behind their art.

I’d say that my guilty international music pleasure is Rammstein, you know the German band that sang the songs “Du Hast” that was really popular and featured in the Vin Diesel movie “XXX.” They’ve remained pretty popular since then and have a long back catalog of music.

Another foreign, but very different band that I like is the French band Pheonix. Although a lot of their songs are in English, I still like to look up information about the band’s background and early career.

The Emmys

Contribution by Stevie Kirby

The Emmys generally air live in September on tv through cable television deals around Boston. They honor the best in the television industry. The host and the presenters are different every year. The host is usually a nominee or someone from a nominted show. The Emmys are divided between Comedy, Drama, Made for Tv Movies and Mini-Series and each aspect of the shows are represented (acting, writing, directing, lighting, make-up, casting and wardrobe). The acceptance speeches have to be the best part because you never know what they might say and there are usually some surprises. For example, Kristin Chenoweth won for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy last year and her show wasn't on anymore and she gave a hilarious speech about being unemployed and listed some shows she wanted to do. Although, most people probably tune in to see what the stars are wearing and if they look good or bad. But, they have a habit of honoring the same shows and actors over and over again like Frasier winning Best Comedy 5 years in a row and Kelsey Grammer winning for Best Actor a few times. It is always a fun night for people who really love television and it is great to see the actors be themselves instead of the role they play on tv.

A Movie To Talk About After It's Over

Posted by Darwin Garza

There's a good reason The Shawshank Redemption is the perfect date night movie. It's not a romantic comedy like most date night movies, but it offers something much more valuable. Romantic comedies are good for a few laughs during the movie, but after the movie, the conversation can die easily. There's nothing to talk about. My girlfriend and I watched The Shawshank Redemption on Direct tv last week and we had plenty to talk about afterward. This is an intense movie on some levels, but it's also poetic and rewarding. A man has a difficult plight, but finds the strength to deal with his situation. He has the help of an unlikely friend and this friendship proves to be beneficial for both parties. This isn't only in reference to escape, but also in regards to life. Both of them lost everything, so it's a friendship they both value greatly.

As far as after the movie goes, there's plenty to talk about. How did they end up in such a predicament? How did they manage to get out of it? How did they know to meet in the same place at the end of the movie? Another cool topic is the poster, which has become a famous scene. This is one of the few movies that both men and women have loved. It really does cater to all audiences.

medical assistance program

I remember the time when we went to Las Vegas, we’re driving our escape car. It went pretty well when we get there but when we drive going back to Grand Junction. Our car broke down in the middle of the road. It doesn’t have good reception on that area so we need to get some help that time. Mike walk few miles away to get a good reception so that we can call someone to help us to tow the car. But it doesn’t help because there’s no signal in that area. Good thing there are some good people stop by and offer some help. They also gave us extra water to drink. It was very hot and humid that time. That was 3 years ago and Dustin was 19 months old that time. It’s scary you know, you don’t know what will going to happen while your traveling. That’s why it’s better if you knew a medical assistance program that can help you when accident happens. When it comes to emergency assistance plus, I would recommend Good Sam at goodsameaplus.com.

The Real World

This was written by guest blogger Krista Rhodes

I absolutely love watching "The Real World" on MTV. This is one of the best shows that has ever been invented. I watch the show every chance I get on the channels my best cable tv offers. I love this show for many reasons.

This show is great, because it exposes college students viewing the program to a variety of cities. It takes place in a different city every year. Because I am a college student without traveling funds, I find this show educational for the way it shows me the nightlife and culture of cities like Manhattan and Los Angeles. I also love "The Real World" because it is entertaining and filled with much drama. You will never hear someone talk about this show without mentioning the word "drama." The cast is always dating one another and ultimately tensions run high throughout the seasons. I love watching young people try to resolve their differences, basically without killing one another! MTV always picks people with completely different religious beliefs and cultural backgrounds and puts them together to live in a house for 6 months. It truly is fascinating to see how people bond with one another, despite their great differences.

The Real World is the best show to watch, especially for students that may be home during summer vacation or on spring break. There is nothing better than watching this show!

The First Day of a Disney Vacation

Thanks to guest blogger Monica Holmes for the post.

Last summer my husband and I went on vacation to Disney world. As soon as we got our car packed we set our home security alarm that we got with home security cameras in South Carolina and headed to the Airport. Since my husband and I love flying, the plane ride to Florida was part of the fun of our vacation. Once we landed in Florida we had the magical express bus take us to our hotel. We stayed at the pop century hotel. This hotel was decorated brightly and had three swimming pools.

As soon as we got our bags packed we caught a Disney bus to Epcot. As soon as we got off the bus we headed to our favorite ride Soarin. This ride makes the riders feel like they are hang gliding over California. After we rode this ride twice we deiced to go to Epcot's World Showcase. We had dinner in the Germany section of World showcase. The food at the dinner buffet was excellent and my husband enjoyed some German beer. After dinner we found a spot by the water to watch illuminations. Illuminations is a fireworks display that Epcot puts off in the evenings. The fireworks were amazing, but by the time they were over my husband and I were very tired. We couldn't wait to go back to our room and get our rest for the next day.

Downtown girl

Guest post written by Cassie Jenkins

I’m a downtown girl. No, I’m not on the new MTV reality series called “Downtown Girls,” but like the stars of it, I dwell in downtown New York City.

Moving here was a dream of mine since my family and I took a vacation here when I was 12. It was so different than our lives in suburban Atlanta that I decided to move there right there and then.

Once I pulled together some savings after I graduated from college I moved there with two of my sorority sisters that also had aspirations of the City and we got a tiny apartment on our minimal budgets. That only made me more aware of getting the best deals on necessities that we needed like High Speed Internet and TV. So we did our homework like good college graduates and read about Internet TV Bundles that would help save us a pretty penny.

We narrowed it down and settled on the provider we have now. Now worrying about making it in the City isn’t so bad that we have enough extra money left out for drinks.

Small town Safety

Guest post written by Lorraine Holbert.

I live in a very small town where everyone seems to know everyone, however the crime rate just keeps going up no matter what we do to make our neighborhood watch more effective. Without constant patrol something is bound to happen and this worries me considering I have three small children. One of the things that we did to make our home safer, is installing a home alarm from a security alarm company in Seattle. We now feel more safe when we are at home and we feel like our home is more safe when we are away. Another thing we do to make the neighborhood safer, is talking to our neighbors regularly about things that happen around the town. Knowing what is going on is one of the best things to have yourself prepared for the things that can happen. If you have a good relationship with your neighbors, then when something is going on, you will have someone to help look out for you and your family. They will be happy to look after your home because you are looking after theirs as well.

Basketball Leagues

Thanks to my friend Alex Jones for the guest post.

Every summer, I join a local basketball league. This is one of the best ways to stay in shape during those summer months, especially for children or adults in school. No matter what age you are, staying in shape is critical to your health. Investing in your health for a lifetime has never been easier than joining a summer basketball league.

My recommendations for playing basketball during the summertime is to wait until around 7:00 or 8:00 when it starts to get dark outside. If you can't join a summer team, then try to get neighborhood basketball scrimmages started every night. In the evening, you are less likely to suffer from dehydration or sunstroke.

After my basketball team is done for the day, typically we head back to one of home's to watch a movie. On a satellite television with a clear screen, watching a movie feels just like the movie theater. The key with having a successful summer is balancing work and play. Be sure to stay in shape with sports like basketball. But, also be sure to give your body the rest it needs to recuperate.

Basketball is a great sport to play during the summer. I love to watch the basketball championships in the summer, and I can find out what channels they are on from Www.Tvbydirect.Com .

Interactivity Important for Online Classes

This post was written by my close friend Kyle Lammert

As a part of my undergraduate courses, I took a class online. This was incredibly convenient for me, since I was a commuter student; the least time I had to spend on campus, the better. I had hughes net in CA at the time; I don't think I would have wanted to do it with dial-up. Something high-speed is really necessary with all those file downloads so you definitely want good satellite internet service if you plan on doing it.

The class was in "business management". I think that honestly I could have taken this class any way it was offered and gotten straight A's even if I didn't go to class. It was all common sense. I kind of think that if you've done any reading of the management nonfiction titles that have come out in the last few years, any class on business management will seem old hat. On the up side, I was able to be really helpful to some of my classmates by recommending that this concept was explained better in a book they could pick up at the library. The content was mostly provided in text, but we had to upload assignments every week.

Would I do it again? I don't know. The convenience mattered more to me than other considerations at the time. If I did it again, I'd look for a class that had more of an interactive component, like video lectures and chat.
