  • Careless Actions Cause Death, But No Consequences for Brandy
    Brandy, the R&B singer and former star of TV’s “Moesha”, recently killed another motorist on the Los Angeles 405 freeway by failing to stop, rear-ending a mother of two at high speed and ending her life. While it’s true that accidents do happen, so do vehicular manslaughter charges against most people who recklessly cause road fatalities. Once again, celebrity culture has prevailed, and despite her repeated admittance of guilt both at the scene and afterwards, no charges have been filed.

  • Disability Insurance – Statistics about Insuring Your Most Valuable Asset
    Never has there been more unanimity from financial experts, educators, media on a financial strategy than the advice to insure one’s most valuable asset, one’s future income, with disability insurance.

    A look at the statistics tells you why. Most people don’t know the actual data of the likelihood of disability or the devastation that a loss of income can cause. Without getting pessimistic one can still take a rational look at one’s own life and see what would happen if income stopped for a long period of time or worse, for the rest of one’s life.
  • Disability Insurance: The Who What and When

  • Network Security a Neglected Issue for Most Businesses
    Almost everyone born in the last half century is familiar with the importance of network security, whether an online business owner or average Joe surfing the net. The occasional lapses in network security almost always make the news, though the extent of the damage is seldom fully understood.
  • Paris Hilton Sent to the Big House
    It looks like Paris Hilton, spoiled heiress and family pride of the hotel chain magnates Rick and Kathy Hilton will soon be seeing the inside of a minimum security prison cell, or more likely, posh California penal country club for wayward socialites. Though she seeks to appeal her sentencing, it seems the hammer of society will finally fall on the deserving Ms. Hilton, leaving countless celebrities to question, What went wrong?
  • Pearls a Smart Fashion Decision
    Pearls have been called “The Queen of Gems” and have been historically far more prized than any precious metal or gemstone. Today, pearl jewelry is considered one of the best jewelry types for accessorizing, exuding a glamour and sophistication that few other options can match.
  • Picking a College Major
    If you’re like most people, choosing a college major can be extremely difficult. You want to find the right balance between something you like to do and something that can provide a solid financial future. Few people will ever welcome the onset of the workweek, but that doesn’t mean any job should be a nightmare. Likewise, jobs from “easy” majors rarely pay very much and often require another four years of college before they become marginally profitable in regard o the time spent on them.
  • Re-examining the Child Tax Credit in the Context of Education
    For parents, the child tax credit is little more than a Band-Aid on a gaping wound when considered against the cost of raising a child. Still, it’s a welcome dressing that, during tax time or from paycheck to paycheck, eases some of the burden associated with childcare expenses. Still, with the child tax credit comes a level of unspoken responsibility to those taxpaying members of society who don’t have children.
  • Reducing Corporate Liability Through Document Destruction
    While there are innumerable ways in which leaving a paper trail behind can be detrimental for business engaged in fraudulent activity (think Enron), there are almost as many ways for businesses on the up and up to suffer as well. The very nature of business is the buying or selling of goods and services from one entity to another. For most businesses, the targeted entities are everyday consumers.
  • Runway Convictions: Why Models Should Be Above the Law
    From Kate Moss to Naomi Campbell, models like myself are the latest pseudo-celebrity niche to have our fair share of foibles with the law. Lest you thought being anorexic, attended to and walking were too little in the way of career pressure, I’m proud to say that our criminal activities have shown that we’re just as rotten as our celebrity counterparts on the stage and screen.
  • Secrets to Buying Jewelry Online
    Jewelry isn’t something we typically think of when making an online purchase, though there is no question that buying jewelry online is becoming more and more popular. The reasons for this are many, but often start with selection and price. Because online retailers are able to reach a wider audience, they more often than not offer a better selection of jewelry than local stores are able to.
  • Smoky Mountains, Tennessee - A Peaceful Escape From Everyday Life
    Not all vacations leave us with the impression that we’ve actually had a vacation. One of the biggest mistakes we make when going on holiday is to pack too much sightseeing, exploring and other activities into our schedules, leaving little time for relaxation and personal reflection. A lot of why we do this has to do with where we choose to go on vacation.
  • Streamlining Distribution through Software Applications
    For many companies, distribution and the logistics surrounding it present a formidable problem, one which can’t easily be solved through a call to UPS or FEDEX. Wholesale distribution of goods often requires a great deal of communication between departments for the purpose of inventory regulation, forecasting and customer relationship management.
  • Support, Training and the Architecture of Business Software
    Business software is big business, and although developers of the more popular titles might indicate that their offerings are user friendly, easily navigable and require only moderate use to gain familiarity, nothing could be further from the truth. While there’s no question that business software applications make doing business easier from end to end, the sheer complexity of most tiles affords little room for error on the part of the end users.
  • Tattooing on Dark Skin
    Tattooing on dark skin requires a little more effort on the part of the artist, both in dealing with the customer and doing the actual work. The problem with tattooing dark skin is that because the ink is being seen from behind the skin, many colors tend to get muted out or can appear dull.
  • The Basics of Buying Pearls
    Pearls can be purchased as natural or cultured, with the latter having several distinct advantages.

Both natural and cultured pearls are products of nature, though cultured pearls are subject to far fewer environmental factors that can produce a less than ideal pearl.
  • The Fine Art of Tattoo Cover Ups
    Tattooing requires overall drawing and illustrative skills, an advanced understanding of lines and shading and the ability to deal with people from all walks of life.

  • The Hidden Gems of Wilmington, North Carolina
    There are few remaining quaint destinations in the U.S. that haven’t been overly exploited for what they have to offer.

Fortunately, there are still places to visit that aren’t highly popular tourist destinations yet still offer a glimpse of life enjoyed at a different pace. One of them is Wilmington, North Carolina.
  • The History of Pearl Cultivation
    Prior to the 20th Century, pearl diving was the method by which pearls were harvested.
    Known as a very dangerous way to make a living, pearl divers would often dive to great depths at risk of their own peril to attempt to find even one suitable pearl. Very few mollusks naturally produce pearls in the wild, which made natural pearls such a rare find and worth the danger for many divers.
  • The Joke That is Pete Doherty
    Pete Doherty seems to get away with everything short of murder, and though he makes for interesting conversation, the former Libertines front man has become a Spinal Tap-esque parody of a rock star to critical acclaim. The acclaim, of course, centers around his drug arrests and other pity me actions, which has to be the case as his musical viability has long since diminished and only holds sway in the UK, where bad taste in the medium seems to be commonplace.
  • The Many Varieties of Pearl Necklaces
    Pearl necklaces are unique in that there is a naming system in place for each type of necklace available. Gold necklaces, whether adorned with precious gems or not, are often simply referred to by their length. Pearl necklaces, on the other hand, have several names dependent on where they hang when worn around the neck.
  • Things to do in the Great Smoky Mountains

  • Tips on Improving Tattoo Aftercare
    As a tattoo artist, your work is a lifetime calling card that when well conceived and executed can bring you accolades, recognition and most importantly, more business.
