For many of us, summer means trying to look tan with some spending a great deal of time and money in tanning booths or to be spray tanned. There are other alternatives out there if you want to look tan, things like the tantowel, it uses the chemicals in your body to create a tan instead of dyes and uses a gradual process, so you don't look pale one day and super tan the next.

While I took shorthand back when I was in college, most of the times I report on a story I prefer to record as opposed to taking notes, the modernization of digital recorders makes it easy to transcribe by using my computer and having a recording of an interview or event can come in handy. This is especially important when it's a controversial topic, having the ability to prove a comment as

Although the majority of Americans (96%) say they can identify two to three causes that are important to them personally, the recent 2011 MSLGROUP Social  Purpose Index found that only thirty-seven percent of Americans have actually purchased a product associated with a cause in the past year.  The gap between socially-conscious consumers' and their actual cause-related purchase decisions can be

 The "Cut, Cap, and Balance Act" that the House of Representatives will vote on next week stands out as one of the most ideologically extreme pieces of major budget legislation to come before Congress in years, if not decades.  It would go a long way toward enshrining Grover Norquist's version of America into law.  It is so extreme that even the budget plan of House Budget Committee Chairman Paul

If you have ever wondered what is term life insurance compared to whole life insurance, the answers can easily be found on the internet. There are many reasons why term life insurance works better for some as an option and there can be a price difference between term and whole life. However, at times whole life can be a better option, while you can easily purchase insurance on the Internet,

Shortly after Congressman Ron Paul announced he was not seeking re-election, three Libertarian candidates announced their interest: Beaumont real estate agent Amy Jacobellis, 54, serves currently as Chair of the Jefferson County LP affiliate.

When you have a large number of documents that need to be scanned, it can be time consuming, especially depending on the quality of the equipment you are using to scan. It's why many people and businesses turn to services like RoyalImaging.com document scanning for their needs.

At least according to New York Magazine: Gay marriage has always been an ideal niche for liberaltarians. After all, it's the states, not the feds, that are the ones deciding whether it should be legal, a question that feeds into libertarians' federalist affinities. And when you strip away the cultural and identity politics, gay marriage is really just a fight about whether the government should

Libertarian Party Chair Mark Hinkle responded to President Obama's June 22 speech with the following comments today:"President Obama's speech was disappointing, but not surprising. The withdrawals he announced are painfully inadequate.

No, I didn't spell "endearment" incorrectly, I'm referencing the "in" part of insurance. Where if you aren't "in the know" when it comes to definitions, I recommend reading term life insurance explained to get a clear idea of the differences between the types of life insurance which will help you decide what type of insurance is best for you.

As Republican presidential candidates lined up to speak at the recent Faith & Freedom Coalition event, Ron Paul was one of the speakers who generated some attention.

According to the FDA the cost of approved HGH products is high, averaging several hundred dollars per dose. It is because of this high cost, HGH drugs have been counterfeited and unapproved HGH products are offered for sale to U.S. consumers. Some companies promote compounded HGH for anti-aging purposes. It is sold as a "fountain of youth" in longevity clinics and to build body mass, weight loss,

This piece from the Washington Post gives a bit of a different take on the meeting at the Cato Institute. The audience questions are not really referenced in great detail.

David Weigel's piece on some of the answers provided by presidential contender Tim Pawlenty is a recommended read. One part: In the wake of NY-26, what did Pawlenty make of the Ryan plan? This elicited the safe, smart, tapioca answer that Pawlenty's been giving for weeks. "In general," he said, "I think the direction of it is positive, but I'm going to have my own plan."

Life seems to take an interesting path, where if you have something like additional insurance, travel insurance or a roadside assistance plan, you probably won't need it. Yet if something happens and you don't have it? You'll wish that you had it. Recently one of my daughters drove alone from Ohio to Arizona. I added her on our account so that if something did happen?

Many companies opt to take advantage of the free market place by using online marketing over traditional print. You'll see this with quite a few products like, adapexin-p, as one example. Keywords, or purchasing online advertising using keywords has proven to work for them as a more cost effective option. Which makes sense given the rising cost of advertising in some areas. It's also easier

An earlier release I missed, but it is worth sharing: In response to House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan's new budget proposal, Libertarian Party Chair Mark Hinkle issued the following statement today:"Americans hoping to get real about our national debt just got sucker-punched by Republican Paul Ryan."Republicans want to spend $40 trillion over ten years. That averages a staggering $4

As elected officials put on a dog-and-pony media show about a temporary shutdown of small parts of the federal government, the Libertarian Party calls for a permanent shutdown of most of the federal government.Libertarian Party Executive Director Wes Benedict said, "Just think how a permanent government shutdown would allow so many Americans to regain the blessings of liberty."Education would

One aspect many don't stop to consider when they are buying a printer is to compare the prices of the ink cartridges before buying. If several printers you are considering are all within the same quality range and a similar price range, checking to see how much it's going to cost you to actually use the printer is something you should look at. It's also important to check your settings. While

That's the question posed by David Weigel, and it is a very valid one to ask, you can read his post in full as well as his previous linked material - here. Personally I've never believed that CPAC and the Libertarian Party held the same values despite the fact some Republicans like to claim they are Libertarians. There is a difference and on issues like Weigel raises, they are important issues:

When you read that you can buy gold online, you may think, 'of course you can, gold jewelry' -- however that's not the only kind of gold you can buy online, you can actually buy ingots, bullion, and gold in other forms that's designed for a monetary value as opposed to a bling one. Some investors believe that owning gold is a smart part of their portfolio, others opt for other types of precious

It's interesting to watch words and catch phrases return. Libertarian paternalism is one of those, it's also referred to as "soft paternalism" meaning government can: help you make the choices you would make for yourself—if only you had the strength of will as well as the sharpness of mind. But unlike 'hard' paternalists, who ban some things and mandate others, the softer kind aims only to

When you come across a website that asks an open ended question like, does apidexin work? The answer to the question is almost always, "yes" -- which is logical. If the product did not work for someone out there, word of mouth alone would have killed it.

Almost every diet, health or skin care product out there has reviews on their website or another website is created to provide reviews.

Interesting Ballot Access article on the increases of Green and Libertarian candidates:The Green Party nominee for State House, 194th district, Hugh Giordano, received 18.50% of the vote in a race that also included a Democrat and a Republican.

Cigars are still popular with some of those I know, including several friends who are women. Yet as a decade long cigarette smoker, the few times I've tried a cigar I've found it difficult to resist the years of the inhaling reflex.

One of the better pieces I've read out there on the WikiLeaks story can be found on the Advocate site -- it was written by Advocate Staff and covers a few instances of the differences in media coverage and reaction. One small part:There is obvi­ously some­thing pro­foundly unde­mo­c­ra­tic about this state of affairs. In order for a democ­racy to func­tion, it is nec­es­sary for the cit­i­zenry

The article on Ron Paul being the only no vote on a resolution honoring Nobel winner Liu Xiaobo linked here makes a very valid point. If Paul really believed that such resolutions were something that the House shouldn't do, then he should have not voted for any resolutions in the past.Unless he wants to try to argue that honoring Chi Chi Rodriguez is somehow more important, but then he'd lose

Whenever I see a headset I think of back when I was working in a call center and I had a moment almost like in the movie, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" when the main character goes to get up from her desk with her headset on and ends up falling on the floor. While I didn't fall, it was all too easy at times to forget I was wearing them to get up or turn too far. Now that's preventable since there

Recently in England, the Liberty Lectures were held. Granted most of us can't travel overseas to attend lecture series, but videos of the sessions have been put online. I've watched a few and I highly recommend them to those of you interested in learning more.

There are female Libertarians, I've met plenty, but I found it interesting that the question of Where are the female Libertarians was being asked.Honest answer is that they like Republican and Democratic women don't get the same level of support when it comes to campaigning as men do and the additional hurdle of fundraising that Libertarian candidates face is a problem. There are organized

Have an NFL or college football fan in your life? Then the easiest way to finish your shopping list might be to consider football gifts to put under that tree. With the huge variety of items out there, it's possible to find something even for the person who has everything on your list. When all else fails? Gift certificates or gift cards never fail.

Slate piece on the recent power of oversight of the Federal Reserve ending up in the hands of Ron Paul -- LINK. While I recommend reading it, what I find most amusing is the assumption that if you are a Libertarian you automatically support Ron Paul. Then again there's the assumption if you are a Democrat or Republican you automatically support everything elected Democrats or Republicans do.

With the movie "Tangled" being popular right now, I couldn't help thinking when seeing this shampoo for thin hair product that a fun, yet probably silly, marketing idea would be to have Rapunzel promote it. It'd be really easy to say, "have hair like me" -- so advertising execs if you are out there? You heard it first here.:-)

At 50, approaching 51, you might think I spend time using or looking for the latest face wrinkle cream out there on the market. Most of those who meet me don't believe I'm 50 or that I have two grandchildren. We live frugally, while I do enjoy dressing nicely, I'm not the makeup wearing sort beyond putting some on when I'm going to be on television. What product have I used since I was a

This was an interesting one since I am admittedly more of a "liberal libertarian" than very liberal or very libertarian -- Seattle PI Blogs:Both progressives and libertarians oppose government corruption.

I may be exaggerating a bit when it come to zillions being spent for those searching for the best acne treatment, but the skin care industry is a multi-billion dollar one and could easily extend into the trillion category if you count outside of the U.S. The search for products to make your skin as flawless as possible begins for some before they are teenagers, with some focusing on natural

Unfortunately every group has those that do things that make you shake your head. Those who claim to be Libertarians are no different in that regard.

It's interesting to watch how the looks of a female candidate or elected official becomes so much more of an issue than with a male counterpart.

Turning to the Internet to ask the search engine of your choice questions is one great way to find answers. Take for as an example the question does p90x work? If you type that into google or yahoo or whatever search engine you prefer, you'll find a variety of answers. However searching for "why is Lisa crazy" might not find you answers. At least not yet...:-)
