Can you imagine taking one of your own photos and blowing it up to 7 feet by 4 feet, removing any background and putting it on your wall?  Well don’t imagine, get wallhogs to do it for you right now.  They turn your picture into a high-quality  print on semi-adhesive vinyl and send it to you via UPS.  Get creative - they can also add text to your photo as well!

This is a simple, inexpensive way to brighten up any room - a Kids room or your office will look a whole lot better with your wallhogs print on it.  Not only do they print on vinyl, but they can also do Glossy posters and Canvas prints as well.  Their comprehensive FAQ answers all the questions you might have, and if it doesn’t then simply call them toll free to find out more.

Anyone who has a digital Camera of at least 3 Megapixels can get it turned into a large print.  It is nowhere near as expensive as I thought it might be either!

In The Fast Lane

Do you like Fast cars? Well, I am pretty sure that you at least have a passing interest -so why not check out the great street racing videos of cars most of us can only dream about.  With all the Vids and pictures you will be entertained or inspired for hours.  This website is a whole lot more than a collection of vids and pics of hot cars it also has a News section with headlines about all things that a motor sports enthusiast is interested in.

After looking at the videos you will then be thinking of how you can enhance your own car and the Car Tuning Blog has that covered for you.  With articles and reviews of all the latest tuning and “go fast” gadgets you will be able to get your car up to speed in no time!  The blog is not just about tuning, it also reviews a lot of high-tech gadgets and other accessories to not only get you moving, but showing how you can do it in style!  From hot Mags, Stereos and exhaust systems - you can find reviews here.

I am not generally a fan of websites that are white text on black, but I think that in this case it works out pretty good. They make use of Orange as well which breaks things up a bit.  The site is easy to use and easy to navigate and the blog plus the vids and pics give a nice mix of info and entertainment. 

Go, I know you want to…..

Tuesday, November 7th, 2006

New York, The Big Apple, as it is commonly known is the most densly populated Major city in North America.  The population of this city is greater than more than half of the states in the whole US! Located on the shores of the Hudson and East Rivers in NY State, the tragic events of 9/11 put this city into the limelight on the world stage for all the wrong reasons.

New York is the Centre for Fashion and International finance, and with over 8Million people living there they have a huge range of National Sporting teams based there. So for you Sports Fans, looking for a holiday to the big Apple Look up New York sports tourism before you leave home.  With 2 Baseball Teams, a Basketball team, 2 hockey teams and 2 football teams your next trip to the Big Apple should include a game from your favourite sport.

New York is certainly a lot more than just the busiest city in America, with their world famous Central park, the Statue of Liberty and Times Square to visit on your vacation you will certainly keep busy between visiting The theatres and many Museums.

In the city that never shuts down, after you catch a Broadway show, you can grab a nice meal at Becco’s Italian Restaurant or any of the other fine Restaurants.

Now York Sports is one of several websites that are based on a similar sports based travel theme.  If you looked at the Chicago site in the last post, you would have noticed that the websites looked similar.  We will be keeping an eye out for the next city that is featured!

Travel Planning

Sunday, November 5th, 2006

Everyone loves to take a vacation, and the time leading up to the chosen departure date can either be great for or even a bit stressful.  In the end your holiday all comes down to the planning and by taking a look at the travel blog you can get a little bit of an insight into not only some ideas to help your planning, but also ideas on some great things to do.

A blog is only as good as the writer’s knowledge and passion of the subject, and you won’t be dissapointed here. The blog has been going since January 2004 and has hundreds of posts.  I know that it can be fun to plan and research the place you are choosing to go to on your vacation and often you will go somewhere that a friend or relative recommends.  Well, a blog is a bit like a friend you have never met in person, but can discuss things with by leaving comments on the posts.

There are heaps of different categories listed that the articles have been sorted into.  just as an example things like hotel info, travel gear, travel insurance and wedding and Honeymoon travel.

You might wonder how someone can write something every few days for years about travel.  I was a bit intruiged as well but found the answer.  Not only do they write intersting travel related articles, but they hold regular contests as well.  At the moment, the winter travel planning contest has over $1000 in cash prizes.  Entry is simple, just follow their guidelines and submit your planned travel itinery for your chance to share in the Prize money.  The whole contest Idea is great, as reading thru what other people have planned for their holiday can give you Ideas for your own vacation.  We are going on vacation in a couple of months time, and so far have only planned some of it, after reading some of the previous entries I know I need to finish my own planning.

Anxiety Help

Saturday, November 4th, 2006

Nearly everyone has heard of mental depression and diseases and are probably unaware of how they can affect you.  Nobody really thinks about mental health or mental healthcare until you or someone close to you is diagnosed with a disorder.  Anxiety is one of the disorders that can be debilitating for sufferers.  If you suffer from anxiety or live with someone who does, the doctors will only provide part of the depression information on the what and how to treat and assist your recovery.

A lot of people who suspect they have any sort of mental disorder still avoid seeking medical advice due to the stigma still attached to sufferers.  Thesedays, you can at least turn to the Internet and do a little bit of research on your own if you suspect that you may be suffering.  You can look for information on Symptoms of Anxiety attacks in your own home.  By recognising the symptoms you can then seek appropriate professional help.

By reading and educating yourself about anxiety attack symptoms and causes you can start to understand and come to terms with what you are dealing with.  The mildest forms of such an attack might be just a fear of public speaking and a lot of people have suffered from this even just a little bit.  A sufferer would have this sort of anxeity under almost any stressful situation.

The Anxiety Help website contains a lot of articles, resources and information that looks to be quite well written and presented in a way that is easy to read.  What impressed me most was that they do mention the importance of seeking professional advice, but theire articles do seem to explain in fairly simple terms all aspects about this problem.
