Capella University, Furthering Education
There are those of us who were lucky enough to have gone as far as they want to go in their education. We are completely satisfied with our life and where we are at, but what about those who find their life lacking and wish to do something to improve their current way of life. They might want to continue their education where they left off, or want to go off on a completely different tangent but just don’t have the time to follow the normal education avenues.
Luckily distance learning phd enables these people to follow their dream on-line via the Internet. Capella University is an accredited online university that offers graduate degree programs in business, information technology, education, human services, and psychology, and bachelor’s degree programs in business and information technology. It services 16000 students from all 50 states as well as 63 countries. It is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and fortunately is able to provide what these people are looking for.

Wedding Plans And Sky Diving.
For all of those who are reading this, I want you to know that as a married man of some twenty odd years, if I was to do it all again I’d like to do it all differently. Naturally I would have a hard task to convince the wife, but then it would certainly make for some interesting times. We had what you would call a traditional wedding, the white dress, the church and the limousines. I think I’d like to do something more exciting.
Imagine getting married while parachuting out of the plane. Naturally the ceremony would have to be quick (a definite plus) while in free fall, and once that was complete a quick kiss, the chutes open and you land in the midst of your cheering guests.
Just to be different how about a theme wedding. I love bowling so I would even consider having the wedding, photos and reception in a bowling alley. I’d make sure everyone came dressed in the “Happy Days” 60’s theme and that the cheap wedding favors matched the theme. There is so much one can do, it’s absolutely mind-boggling.

A Family Vacation Is What I Need
Holidays are around the corner
The families on my back
It would certainly be a corker
If I could get on the right track
Family Vacation Packages I need
That’s definitely the solution
I must act with fair speed
And it’s certainly my resolution
To go online to Fairfield Getaways
And to source my destination
Their site is simple and not a maze
It needs no translation
They have so many places to go
I could take the family to Hawaii
Or maybe they would prefer the snow
Perhaps Florida would be the bee’s knee
It’s certain I must decide
Should I book the weekend?
And take just my bride
But where shall I the children send
No, for sure the family I must take
For a holiday we all deserve
For a certainty this Holiday I must make
So good times we can all observe

For The Love Of A Car!
Men and women alike have always had a love for exotic cars. I am no different. Cars to me can be a thing of beauty and a wild beast all rolled into one. My favourite has always been the Ferrari, the prancing horse signifying that wild beast trapped under the hood ready to gallop at the slightest pressure on the accelerator. Of course it has to be read, and if I had a choice it would have to be the classic Dino Ferrari. I loved that car, and I had a chance to buy one once and I let it slip through my fingers, one of my life’s regrets.
Of course had JDM motors been around then I would have that car in my garage today. They could have organized everything for me including finance. They would have given me all the right advice so that I would not over finance the car. They would explain how the car loan would depend on the car's purchase price less down payment, rebates, and trade-in value. How other costs can influence how much loan I needed. They would also explain how any extras I would want would increase the actual loan and therefore the repayments. I would have had peace of mind. I may just have to go over there to see what cars they have on offer. Maybe my Dino is there waiting for me.
Vacation Time In Orlando.
Orlando Florida is a place that has changed so much in its short history. Some historians date the name Orlando as originating in 1836 when a Soldier named Orlando Reeves died in the area against an Indian tribe. He operated a sugar mill and plantation in Volusia County and some settlers found his name carved in a tree and assumed it was a marker for where it was buried so it became known as Orlando’s grave and later just Orlando.
Orlando became a typical western town full of bar brawls and gunfights, but no more today it is a robust and growing community full of things to do. In fact, its main industry today is tourism. Its not surprising that tourism is such a big industry when you consider what the place has to offer.
Orlando Florida is so much more than theme parks and sunshine! Yep it has theme parks so the kids will have a wow of a time. These theme parks include Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World, Islands of Adventure as well as water parks, golf (Yay Golf) and some of the best fishing in the world! Yet only 45 minutes away from the theme parks will take you to countryside very similar to the rolling hills and oak trees of the England.
Its got golf courses, romantic gondola rides, heaps of shopping places for the wife as well as many places to wine and dine her. If you’re looking for a place to stay then Orlando Vacation Home is the place to go. Simply go on line and search the site for that special place for you and your family to spend its next holiday.
Auto Insurance Online, Quick And Easy!
I have always thought it would be pretty rough being a woman driving all alone, especially at nights. So I wasn’t too amazed when I found out that there apparently is an insurance company that is offering their female customers the ultimate in protection. This company, Sheila’s Wheels has the ‘Buddy on Demand” scheme. Nope, you don’t phone for help, what you do in the case of suspicious characters is flip a switch and whammy; you get an instant male companion. You would have to get the timing right or they would be wondering what he was doing under the dash.
In regards to buying a car, one of the first things you have to remember is auto insurance online. Never, ever purchase a car and drive it home without having it insured first. Why? Because of Murphy! Yep you heard me, if you are ever dumb enough not to insure your vehicle, you can bet your bottom dollar that Murphy’s Law would strike you down with lightning, or at the very least you will have a crash on the way home.
Today, because of the Internet, there is no excuse not to get any form of insurance. It’s so easy now to go online and get the right package that you would be an absolute dolt not to get one straight away. So if you’ve just bought a car, don’t hesitate, get online now for your best insurance quotes.

I'm Joining The Paintball Craze
A friend of mine was telling me about this great experience he had on the weekend. Apparently the company he worked for had organized a skirmish of sorts for their employees. This involved getting into teams armed with guns. No not real guns, these were paintball guns and it’s a sport in which participants use these compressed air guns to shoot paintballs filled with colored paint at other players. It’s a great game that requires team work (or it did in their situation) and it's quite fun.
Apparently, although the equipment needed is often supplied, its always better to bring your own which is normally in better condition and more up to date. They say that cheap paintball gear is one of the best suppliers of anything you would ever need to get into this exciting sport. Zephyrpaintball.com was founded in 2004 with the idea of bringing low prices, customer service and fast shipping to the paintball world. Whether its guns (a large variety), goggles, masks or outfits, you can find it all here. Now my friend's trying to convince me to join this unique sport. I tell ya he won’t have to try too hard.
I Gotta Ge Me Some Van Racks
You know its unbelievable how you can buy a truck or a van thinking that you’ve solved all your space problems only to find out your still short on room. Sometimes it’s not the amount of space that stuffs you up but the size of the compartment. I mean you want to stick a ladder in your van, or skis, surfboard or whatever and it just won’t fit.
Thankfully van racks have the solutions to solve all these problems. They have a website offering a quick and easy accessory shopping experience. It doesn’t matter whether you have a car, truck or van they have all the accessories you will ever need. It doesn’t matter if its interior, exterior or towing accessories your after they are definitely the one stop shopping experience.
You can browse online by category, individual products or even brand names and have great online tips and suggestions. If your purchase is over $100 (for FedEx ground services within the Continental US - Excluding oversized items) they can even provide free shipping. I reckon the right van racks can solve my problem.

A Woman's Expectations?
The Smiths had no children and decided to use a proxy father to start their family.
On the day the proxy was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife and said, "I'm off. The man should be here soon".
Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer rang the doorbell, hoping to make a sale.
"Good morning madam. You don't know me but I've come to.........
"Oh, no need to explain, I've been expecting you," Mrs. Smith cut in.
"Really?" the photographer asked. "Well, good! I've made a specialty of babies."
"Just where do we start?" asked Mrs. Smith, blushing.
"Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch and perhaps a couple on the bed. Sometimes the living room floor is fun too; you can really spread out."
"Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work for Harry and me."
"Well, madam, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results."
"I hope I can get this over quickly," gasped Mrs. Smith.
"Madam, in my line of work, a man must take his time.
I'd love to be in and out in five minutes, but you'd be disappointed with that, I'm sure."
"Don't I know it!!" Mrs. Smith exclaimed.
The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby pictures. "This was done on the top of a bus in downtown London."
"Oh my God!!" , Mrs. Smith Exclaimed, tugging at her handkerchief.
"And these twins turned out exceptionally well when you consider their mother was so difficult to work with".
"She was difficult?" ask Mrs. Smith.
Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to Hyde Park to get the job done right. People were crowding around four and five deep, pushing to get a good look."
"Four and five deep?" asked Mrs. Smith, eyes widened in amazement.
"Yes", the photographer said, "And for more than three hours too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling. I could hardly concentrate. Then darkness approached and I began to rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling at my equipment, I just packed it all in."
Mrs. Smith leaned forward. "You mean they actually chewed on your, ah, ah, .......equipment?"
"That's right. Well madam, if you're ready, I'll set up my tripod so that we can get to work".
"Tripod??" Mrs. Smith looked extremely worried now.
" Oh yes, I have to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big for me to hold while I'm getting ready for action."
"Madam? Madam?......Good Lord, she's fainted !!"

Women, Impossible To Please.
A group of girlfriends are on vacation when they see a 5-story hotel with a sign that reads: "For Women Only." Since they are without their boyfriends and husbands, they decide to go in.
The bouncer, a very attractive guy, explains to them how it works. "We have 5 floors. Go up floor by floor, and once you find what you are looking for, you can stay there. It's easy to decide since each floor has a sign telling you what's inside."
So they start going up and on the first floor the sign reads: "All the men on this floor are short and plain." The friends laugh and without hesitation move on to the next floor.
The sign on the second floor reads: "All the men here are short and handsome." Still, this isn't good enough, so the friends continue on up.
They reach the third floor and the sign reads: "All the men here are tall and plain."
They still want to do better, and so, knowing there are still two floors left, they continued on up.
On the fourth floor, the sign is perfect: "All the men here are tall and handsome." The women get all excited and are going in when they realize that there is still one floor left. Wondering what they are missing, they head on up to the fifth floor.
There they find a sign that reads: "There are no men here. This floor was built only to prove that there is no way to please a woman.
