Do I dare update WordPress?

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

I see this announcement at the top of the blog admin area that says I should update to WordPress 3.0 and yet… I remember trying that a few days back with my Family Caregiver blog and I still can not get back into the admin area to fix the mess that was made when I upgraded WordPress.

Dare I upgrade this one before I figure out what happened on the other one?…. ehhh…. no.

Gold Investing

Monday, April 19th, 2010

As a freelance writer I have been looking more and more at my future and what investments I need to have the retirement I want to have in twenty years.

As always, one of the favorite investments for me to look at is Gold. Gold is one of the few investments most people feel confident in the long term investment value of, which makes it the perfect way to diversify a portfolio, particularly one intended to provide for a retirement. The price of gold has steadily risen over the years, so that even with occasional declines, it is still far more valuable by the ounce than it was twenty years ago.

Those looking to diversify their portfolio might buy gold coins to be put in their private collection or deposited in a bank or depository.

The United States Gold Bureau, a precious metals investment company headquartered in Austin, Texas, can assist investors in buying gold and other precious metals in coin or ingot form, with the coins being available for personal delivery or the hard asset professionals an assist in arranging for storage in an independent bank or depository.

Gareth David-Lloyd penned Torchwood comic for official Torchwood Magazine

Monday, April 19th, 2010

Just because I am very excited about it, and it is on topic with the post I made about getting your story posted in the official Torchwood Magazine, I wanted to let you all know about the comic titled ‘Shrouded’, that appears in the April 15th issue of Torchwood Magazine.

The comic focus on the character Ianto Jones, and was written by Gareth David-Lloyd, the actor who portrayed the character in the series.

In talking about the focus of the comic David-Lloyd says, “I feel I know this character implicitly. The narrative of this comic focuses predominantly on Ianto, and integrates a number of characters who have been missed by Torchwood’s ardent followers.”

The comic is illustrated by Pia Guerra, and is a two part comic with the first part in the April 15th issue of the Official Torchwood Magazine.

I plan to pick up my copy today.

Offering discounted services to the public via students working under faculty supervision, the Regency Beauty Institute has a growing network of over thirty campuses in nine states.

If you would like to find out more about Regency and what their campuses are like, take a look at the information they provide for their Madison or Greenfield cosmetology school in Wisconsin. Regency campuses mirror upscale salons, and provide students with cosmetology training that is fully accredited by the National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences (NACCAS).

Regency Beauty Institute got its start in the 1950’s as Myndall Cain Beauty Academy, assuming the name of Regency in the 1980’s. Regency got its latest makeover in 2002. A fully accredited cosmetology school, Regency is able to offer federal financial aid to those who qualify.
