The holidays are the time of year to share your love and
appreciation to the most important people in your life. For
many, that includes those people who provide support and
services throughout the year. From your favorite babysitter,
housekeeper or the hair stylist who always gets your cut just
the way you like it, a tip - enclosed in an envelope with a
handwritten note - is sure to be appreciated.
How do I know how much to tip?
Holiday tips will vary according to your means, the city in
which you live and the type of relationship that you have with
the person being tipped. That being said, here are some general
guidelines for a few of the outstanding individuals who might be
on your list:
* Newspaper person: $15-$25 for daily, $5-$15 for weekend
* Doorman: $25-$100
* Building Custodian: $20-$30
* Building Handyperson: $20-$30 each
* Building Superintendent: $30-$100 depending on building
* Housekeeper: A week’s pay or more
* Babysitter: Two nights pay, or a small gift
* Hair stylist: The cost of a session, plus a small gift
* Personal Trainer: $50
* Parking Attendants: A half-month’s garage rate divided among
attendants; or $10-$20 per person
If giving cash doesn’t feel quite right, is too formal, or
policy prohibits it, why not give a small gift? Of course, the
challenge of finding a gift for someone you might just know
professionally or see only occasionally is you might not know
what one item they would appreciate most.
Gift certificates are a versatile and personal way to show your
thanks. And while the USPS does have a policy against monetary
gifts to postal carriers, nobody said that you can’t put a gift
certificate in the mailbox. But how do you decide from which
store to buy their certificate?
Imagine giving a gift certificate where your recipient can
choose the store! GiftCertificates.com offers a
SuperCertificate® that lets the person receiving your gift pick
from over 200 top stores, restaurants, spas, jewelers and more.
It’s the gift that’s always appreciated because it also gives
the gift of choice.
Other people who might enjoy a SuperCertificate® include:
* Teachers
* School Crossing Guard
* Mail carrier (USPS Policy: “Cash equivalent can’t exceed $20″)
* Co-workers
* Your Administrative Assistant
By giving the gift of choice, you can make the holidays shine
bright for someone special with your goodwill. Those who work so
hard all year to make you smile are sure to appreciate and
remember your generosity.

People rejoice in the cinema, so why not look at calling on the capital and delight in lots of the shots from the film? This metropolis emerges in lots of really recognised motion pictures and now, for more than a century, it has accepted principle movie people to engineer their motion pictures in. The capital is thought of as one of the earth’s most widely & celebrated film metropoles. There are central venues for movie making situated in the city; some of the most known of locations have been selected again and again. Several of the planet’s coolest film professionals, from past & present, are from the city. Marvellous pictures were based in this metropolis & they usually receive cracking critical reviews.
The capital is known as the 3 rd most active filming production area globally. Behind Los Angles & also N.Y., Westminster city is thought to be the principle spot with 2200 filming days in 05. As well as the city’s films we also have London’s movie festivals. Such festivals occur annually on around the same time period. The festivals are extremely contrasting, meaning there’s a suitable festival appropriate for everyone. There are more than sixty movie festivals merely in this city & they embody many of the capital’s unique multicultural make ups. The film festivals include everything from African to documentaries, crime thrillers to conspiracies and their number just continues to grow.
An example of the most popular considerations as regards the city’s motion picture culture, are the movie houses themselves. Besides the grotty abysses there are fabulous cinemas which will doubtless help you to revel in the flick. The capital incorporates in excess of 500 silver screens, that include everything from leading film houses, inc. Vue & the Odeon, that will show the very latest releases and of course blockbuster hits, to the more small cinemas which there are intimate and of course generally present classic and international movies, often shows that would not be performed at high street cinemas.
There exist movie theatres at the moment which can offer a more unusual encounter from your basic film houses. You watch the flick from within the comfort of a settee or maybe your armchair; you can also get to order nosh from stewards. There are several of these establishments peppered around. Roxy Bar and Screen is thought to be an attractive place located near to the attractive Borough Market. The spot is thought to be an assimilation of indie movies, a delightful bar & an eatery. The famous Electric Cinema found within the Notting Hill locale has been around for generations and puts on a fusion of cultural films accompanying the most popular movies of the main-stream. Amid the comfortable leather furniture, the foot stools and also its bar area found at the very back, anyone can hang out in seeing every screening. The city’s Rex Cinema is found in the Soho area in the city and is advertised as one of the foremost movie houses to visit. Baring in mind the building’s cosiness & it’s cocktails to die for, this movie theatre is a cinema that all should scout out. See the latest films that are opening this week film with Time Out.
It’s invariably bound to be hard, when deciding what movie to see at the cinema, however, the cosiness of a pleasing setting undoubtedly enriches a person’s gratification.

That’s right “Chronicles of Narnia”, Richard Pryor and the new
movie “Brokeback Mountain” posess an insidious link to, a
controversial persuasion author, JK Ellis.
This is a conspiracy of implication.
JK Ellis and Richard Pryor - fearless in telling you whats on
our minds. JK Ellis and the movie “Chronicles of Narnia” -
compelling in what we have to offer. JK Ellis and the new movie
“Brokeback Mountain” - willing to discuss things that everyone
else wants to ignore or deny.
This is merely a demonstration of how one can persuade by
association and implication. Simply by comparing the writer JK
Ellis to three things in the popular culture it creates a fit in
the mind s of the public.
JK Ellis points this out on his Mind Control blog
http://mindcontrol101.blogspot.com as “not quite the same thing
as name dropping to impress people but it’s along the sames
lines.”
How do the best PR people in the world use this strategy?
1) Quotes - telling people what other people have said about
you. This is different than just stating it out right. “Quotes”
provides distance.
2) Plant a story or press release that piggy backs something in
the popular culture with your name. Example: “Controversial Mind
Control Author warns of advance influence technology in Harry
Potter movies”.
3) Covertly drop a name. Meaning while you’re on the phone you
turn your back to the listener and whisper just loud enough for
them to hear “Tell Mr. Tarantino that I can’t work with him
until his assistant clears his schedule for me. There’s no way
that…. Oops… I have to go.”
4) Leaving a scratch pad on your desk with the words “Lindsay
Lohan cell# 619-722-8099″
The key is to distance yourself as much as possible from
actually dropping the name yourself.
None of this is new, of course. Planting credible evidence has
been one keys to success since the time of Chinese General Sun
Tzu.

Ladies and gentlemen, prom night is one of the most anticipated
nights of the whole year! It is filled with great expectations
and plans but sometimes doesn’t end up exactly the way you had
envisioned. Here are a few pointers to make it an occasion you
will remember for many years to come! One of the most common
reasons people have bad experiences at proms is because the
companions they choose to spend prom night with. Romance seems
easy and simple for couples, but it is not always the best
scenario for someone on their own. Be smart about what company
you choose and remember that dying romances, quasi-friendships,
or even a volatile relationship has no place on your prom night.
Remember also, that unless you come from a rich family, stick to
a budget. You will be glad you did, after all, proms are
expensive. Consider the expense you have paid for your outfit,
tickets and transportation (sometimes in the form of a limo) All
tolled, it could run into the hundreds of dollars. How about
borrowing an outfit from a friend or parent, and “chipping in”
on a limo as a group, or going dutch on tickets.
Peer pressure and pop culture have many teens believing that
prom night and alcohol go hand-in- hand. Don’t fall into that
fallacy. It is not reality and if you are caught drinking and
driving, your special night could end up one of your worst
nights. After all, it is not much fun spending the next day
hanging over a toilet or sleeping it off in a corner. Play it
smart and stay straight. Also, remember that it is easy to get
caught up in the romance when the romantic whirlwind blows
through the prom, and thinking sex would be a great topping to a
fun night. Consider the implications of a hasty sexual
encounter. Today it pays to think twice. Prom night is exciting
and all it really is, is just a big part with fancy clothes.
After all, it won’t be so much different than any other party
you attend throughout the year. Congratulations on all of your
hard work and enjoy the prom!

Generation has passed by since you marvelled the
invention of the Walkman and even the CD Walkman. Okay, you have
had enough of your Walkman and your CD Walkman either. It is
time to move on to the newest trend in portable music: the MP3.
And while the MP3 is making big waves not only in the United
States but also to the entire world (special mention to iTunes
and iPod for making this possible), several online music
download companies are hitting big time for services rendered to
those who want to have music compiled then in their PC, burn
them to their CDs or store them to their portable music devices.
Either way, you are prompted with different choices of music
downloads online that somehow makes you confused in selecting
the right one for you.
So to end your suffering and finally decide where to go, here is
useful information regarding some of the biggest online download
companies:
Apple iTunes - Speaking about service, the Apple iTunes
gives the best and the worst. Let’s start with the positive. The
iTunes has one of the widest selections of songs in almost all
genre you can download. If you have LAN connection and a clan of
music lovers, this is for you. Price is pretty standard: $0.99
per song. Now the drawback: when you download using iTunes, no
matter how much you want it, you can never play it on other
programs except iPod and iTunes. So if worse comes to worse and
the only available player is the Windows Media, your $0.99 worth
of single track remains unheard. Nontheless if you like iTunes
and have an iPod, this would work for you well.
Music Match - An 800,000-song library is definitely a
great deal. Each track is worth 99 cents and the monthly
subscription is $9.99. Standard price.
Napster - Yep! You heard it right. Napster is back from
its eternal sleep. And not only it is back, it is also prepared
to keep you grooving to its wide selection of tracks. But unlike
before, you can get music here with a price to pay. A song costs
$0.99. If you prefer access to its entire catalogue, subscribe
at $9.99 a month and get those songs streaming to your PC. You
don’t own them though. Meaning, once your subscription expired,
all the songs you have will all be gone in an instant. A more
expensive subscription with a price tad of $14.95 can let you
own for a month an 80-hour worth of song. Again, you don’t own
them and once the subscription expires, the songs will too.
MSN Music - It might be your favorite because songs here
can be played virtually on any type of media player. Songs are
continuously growing, an understandable situation considering it
has only started in the second half of 2005. Each song is worth
$0.99.
Yahoo Music - Like the MSN, Yahoo is also in this field.
If you want cheaper song, try it. Each track costs only $0.79;
20 cents cheaper than other music download sites with over a
million of songs you can choose from. Subscription is also
cheaper than others. One month of full access to their music
library could only cost you $4.99.
Virgin - You heard it right, even the online music
business is being ventured by Richard Branson. Great one-month
subscription deal: $7.99. That is, if you never desire to burn
it to your CD or transfer it to your portable device.
Walmart - With over 500,000 songs on the library, you
cant get too much from Walmart but price wise, it is cheap but
not cheaper than Yahoo. Each track costs 88 cents so if you want
a song that is not on Yahoo but on Walmart, it’s all you need.
