Using Google Reader has become an integral part of my daily routine. Not only does it allow me to stay up-to-date on all of my favorite websites and blogs, but it allows me to track on all of the topics that interest me and a pulse on what’s going on in my various business interests.

At some point each of us has been in a store and heard over the intercom system something along the lines of “Please note that we will be closing in 15 minutes.” You have spent the time to find customers, get them in your store, get them interested in your products, and now you’re asking them to leave.

On this site (and several others that I run) there have been times that I wish I had initially set up my permalinks structure differently. When I set up permalinks they are typically set up in a %category%/%postname% structure – thinking that it would make the most sense and be the most ideal solution. However, I started running into a few problems when a post was assigned to multiple categories – thus, only displaying one category in the URL/permalink (e.g. a post might be filed under the category “WordPress Themes” and “WordPress” but would only display “WordPress” in the URL structure).

I’ve never watched American Idol up until this season (I guess I’ve kinda been hiding under a rock) – but I’m glad that I finally tuned in this season. From his first audition with “Sunday Morning” by Maroon 5, to his amazing rendition of Paula Abdul’s “Straight Up” to Fall Out Boy’s “Sugar We’re Going Down”, this guy is simply amazing. Here are a few videos that I found for those other Andrew Garcia fans as well. I really hope this guy wins – either way, there’s big things ahead for him for sure.

When looking at houses, condos, or apartments you may come across some properties that charge HOA dues (Home Owner Association fees). These fees that are assessed by the property management association can cover a wide variety of things like trash service, yard maintenance, general upkeep, or any number of other services. These dues will typically be outlined for you by the association for what they cover and the amount.

Too often people accept mediocrity from themselves and what they want to pursue or do in life. Life is too short to not enjoy and do the things that you absolutely love and have fun doing. Whether it’s work, business, or your personal life – you need to spend time doing those things that bring you pleasure.
Sometimes the day-to-day grind tends to slip in and start draining the things in life that each of us find fun. This is a great video that will help you bring some more fun back into your life .
