Slimming Down

I know I keep harping on it, but Summer IS coming, it's just around the corner, and now is the time to seriously do something about that belly that you've accumulated during the Winter. You know, all those festival foods that you just had to consume and now you're carrying around? You enjoyed all those treats and now it's time to enjoy getting rid of those treats.
But, you first must ask yourself some important questions. Here's a great seven step criteria to think about:
1. Weight Loss Power
2. Speed of Results
3. Appetite Suppression
4. Long Term Results
5. Customer Results
6. Safety
7. Overall Value (how many pounds you will lose for each dollar you spend)

Number seven is extremely important, unless you just have tons of money to throw away and you don't care. And, if you do have that kind of money, feel free to throw some my way!
You can get help with these important questions by checking out the slimming pills review. There you'll find all the information to assist you in deciding which pills are the best for you, your body and your pocketbook. Don't believe the hype you find on infomercials or ads or even those ghastly emails we all get. Check out the reviews for yourself and make the decision that's right for you!
Take a long look at yourself in the mirror, decide how much you need to slim down and then go for it. Look your best this Summer and take genuine pride in yourself for making a new, slimmer, you a reality.

Foul!

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) - Authorities said a man accused of money laundering was tripped up because he could have used a little cleansing himself. Court records show that during his trips to a Eugene bank a man drew attention to himself because of a foul odor, possibly linked to fertilizer. A teller vomited. Customers complained. Authorities investigated.

After an Internal Revenue Service investigation into a drug operation involving high-potency marijuana and hallucinogenic mushrooms, a federal grand jury indicted the man.

He does not face drug charges, but he is accused of laundering cash in dozens of transactions totaling nearly $500,000 in 2007 and 2008.

Court records show he pleaded guilty in 1999 to manufacturing and delivering a controlled substance.

Nostagia

While surfing through some Google images, I came across a section of old Life magazine photos dealing with baseball and its fans. I had to chuckle at most of them, they brought back memories of a much simpler time of life. But this one below I had to save and put here on my blog. It was a great year, when the underdog Pirates defeated the team that couldn't possibly lose, the dreaded New York Yankees. After all, they had Mantle! But, in the end, we had Maz!
Could 2009 be like 1960?

Baseball: World Series. Pitts. Pirates fans victorious walking on streets w. sign that reads MAZ FOR PRESIDENT.

Feeling Dumb

A few days ago I went to get a "job" at a site called Cha Cha. I had to take a timed test and answer a whole slew of questions which were easily answered by doing a quick internet search. I thought I did pretty well, but I failed. I have no idea how that happened! I felt pretty darned dumb though :(
Another person told me about this site like Cha Cha called KGB, so I went and looked it over. The two sites are very similar, in that they both deal with answering questions that people have sent by way of their cell phones.
Did I sign up? Not yet. I have gone there several times, though. KGB has a test to take too, and I am reluctant to click the link. I'm afraid I might fail this test too and then I will really feel dumb. Let's face it, I am just being a chicken LOL
I hope all of you are having a great weekend and are feeling smart :)

Receipt Printers

A receipt printer plays an integral role in any POS (Point Of Sale) system, signaling the cash drawer to open when the transaction is completed. Two main types of POS printers, the impact receipt printer and the thermal receipt printer, are industry mainstays.

While an impact receipt printer uses more consumables (ink cartridges and receipt paper), it offers an affordable entry price compared to thermal receipt printers, may offer two-color printing, can print on 2-ply receipt paper, and withstands heat in restaurant kitchen environments. A thermal printer does not use ink -- it uses heat-sensitive receipt paper to create an image on the paper. Thermal receipt printers offer near-silent, speedy printing for fast-paced retail operations, or anywhere silence is appreciated.
Which receipt printer system is best for you depends on what sort of business you are in. For most at home businesses, an impact printer would be fine and it would be cost effective as well. The only use for a simple home business that the thermal printer might have is that it would be impressive to the customer getting the receipt.
If you have a high profile business, with a great cash flow then the thermal printer might be best for you. If you want things around you to be quieter or you simply need speed in your receipt printing, then thermal is definitely the way to go.
POSMicro stocks both types of POS printers at everyday low prices, including top manufacturers like Epson, Citizen, Star, Samsung, POS-X and Ithaca.
So, if a receipt printer is one of your business needs, then now is the time to click on the link above and find the POS printer that best suits your needs. You also can find a printer that may fit your future needs as well, and be prepared when that need arises.

Is This Our Year?

Okay, I know it's way too early. But, the Pirates swept the on fire Florida Marlins and are simply on a great roll already this year :)
The nicest part? Tuning in to ESPN and actually seeing highlights of the game. Not at the very last few seconds either. They are taking the Bucs seriously for a change :)
It's amazing! And, it's been a long, long time of waiting too LOL
