Sam's Club Sells Your Info
Posted On 11/25/2011 07:25:37 by DaveS
Did you know that Sam's Club sells your information to data mining companies who then resell all of your personal information to telemarketers?
I could not believe it. I filled out an application for a membership card as you are required to do. I specifically asked the associate at the counter if the company sells our information or if it is kept confidential. She said they would never sell it to anyone.
So I used my real name on the application and a clean address, phone number... Read More



Make time to watch the sun rise
Posted On 11/04/2011 10:21:52 by Grapevine
By: Jackie Monroe Your Optimism Tip of the Week is short and simple: You can never find time. You can only make it.  I had the opportunity to make time this weekend to watch the sun rise while I was on top of Auxier Ridge in the Red River Gorge in Kentucy.  I took a video, totally just over five minutes, and sped it up to show the dramatic beauty of the rising sun across a fog-filled valley.

Five Tips to Keep the Glass Half Full if NOT Overflowing
Posted On 11/04/2011 10:03:07 by Grapevine
By Dr. Russ

1) Look at the Big Stuff

Before you get too stuck in the day-to-day negative trivia, step back and thank God for all the wonderful achievements here on earth.  Three biggies for me are: We have been to the moon; we no longer have to suffer Polio, and we can communicate instantly with anyone around the globe.

2) Don't Sweat the Small Stuff

Small stuff is at worst mildly annoying – “Keep it in perspective” and have some fun and humo... Read More



River Rafting - Wild or Scenic
Posted On 10/22/2011 18:27:57 by GrapevineTravelAdventures

Most everyone has heard of white water rafting.  Those who like a bit of adventure have a great time splashing through bumps and dips in the wild waters of river rapids. What about rafting for people who prefer a quieter ride?  It does exist, in the form of scenic river floats.  Many people find a day on the river quite enjoyable, whether a wet and wild white water adventure or a serene scenic float.   White Water Rafting on Washington's Wenatchee River  ...

To Build A Bridge Or Not To Build A Bridge
Posted On 10/11/2011 05:57:43 by lansingmichgov
Governor Rick Snyder returned from Washington after a trip to confirm the 550 million dollars we will receive from Canada for the new NITC bridge construction will count towards the funds we would normally raise to match as a state to receive federal funds for our road repairs. The more money we match the more money we get.  The importance of this is it frees up all the money we would have had to come up with to get the money originally. 
Michigan has struggled every year to r... Read More

An industry insiders perspective, How the automotive repair industry...
Posted On 09/30/2011 17:19:40 by lansingautorepair
An industry insiders perspective. How the automotive repair industry manipulates what you pay. The single most asked question by my potential customers when they call me on the phone or stop in for the first time is “What is your hourly labor rate?”
Sadly many people allow the answer to their question to be the only deciding factor in choosing where they have their vehicle repaired.
What they are not aware of is how our industry is able to manipulate the hourly labor rate we... Read More

watch Rio
Finally - i reached another cartoon studio "Blue Sky", ("Ice Age" has made it the same) - the cartoon "Rio" .. For a long time we did not want to go in the cinema, in particular - the fact that the picture presented in the format of 3D, but still, I looked him ... and I can say that was not disappointed, getting exceptionally good viewing experience. Thus, the cartoon "Rio" (2011) tells the story of a blue parrot Blu, who happens to be the only remaining male in his sight,... Read More

Imagine riding a horse through snow on a warm sunny day in August.  This may sound like an impossible contradiction, but I did just that on a high country pack trip with Icicle Outfitters & Guides of Washington State.

Icicle Outfitters offers everything from day rides near Leavenworth and at Lake Wenatchee State Park, to drop camps where they pack in gear for hikers or hunters, to full service pack trips.  In the winter they even have sleigh rides.

watch Kung Fu Panda
Hello=) This is my Kung Fu Panda Review Without losing the connection with the old - the good Chinese tradition, directors John Stevenson and Mark Osborne have decided to introduce some innovations and created a beautiful back country plan, against which the main action is uncomplicated. Thanks to this film will always be something to which one can escape (from the well thought-out brand name DreamWorks, of Asian-style). Unfortunately, Jonathan Abel and Glenn Ber... Read More
