Hookah Pen or Hookah Sticks

There are a few hookah ecommerce sites online, including Hookah Shisha.(Shisha is what the herbal tobacco used in smoking from the large hookahs is called).

This site offers hookah pens - which are portable hookah vaporizing devices, as well as regular size hookahs, and even something called frozen hookahs, which allows users of full size hookahs to freeze the hookah base, which in turn will chill the smoke or vapor that emanates from it.

Smoking an e-cigarette or hookah pen is an excellent way to wean yourself off smoking nicotine, as they offer a variety of refillable cartridges offering fruit flavored liquids such as banana, mango, orange, peach and even coffee!

It's a fun site to look around, just to see all the items on offer.

Towing companies in Seattle: Fife's Towing

Unfortunately, there's always a possibility that something can go wrong with your car, rendering it immobile.

You want a towing company that is able to tow your car somewhere, without damaging it in the process! Fife towing does both commercial and residential towing, in fact they are commercial towing experts.

They also conduct auctions of abandoned vehicles!

Electricians in Seattle: Mr. Sparky

People who move into a home they've just bought - not necessarily a new one - (or for that matter an apartment!) don't often think about the electrical system. They flick a switch, the lights come on, that's all they care about But the electrical system is like the network of veins in a body - veins provide blood, electricity provides light, heat, safety.  But the system must be monitored to make sure things are running right, just like our bodies need a checkup to make sure our blood pressure is just right, otherwise awful things can happen.

If you blow a fuse every time you have more than one appliance turned on in your kitchen, don't put up with it, call a West Seattle electrician, like Mr. Sparky, to come and do some rewiring! And while they are there, have them check your smoke detectors and if you have no smoke detectors, have them be installed!

Luck's Food Decorationg Company

Whenever you go to a grocery store and stroll along their confectionery counter, ever wonder how they get the tops of the cakes to look so cool? As for example with edible images from the movie Frozen? They do this because they have a printer - dedicated to printing only edible cake images of course, and print out the items on edible sheets from Lucks' Food Decorating Company.

Edible images are kosher, so anyone can enjoy them.

Not only does Luck's provide edible images, but they also provide the edible sheets onto which cake decorators can print anything, such as a graduation photo of the child of proud parents, which is then placed on a cake and gradually melds into it, making it look all of a piece. These types of cakes are unique, one of a kind of course, and very popular.

The Lucks website provides all the help, ideas and tips that their clients need to produce attractive and mouth-watering cakes.

Michael Atkins: West Seattle lawyers

Lawyers are necessary for a wide range of daily activities, which we don't really think about.

For example, there is estate law, which is very important. People who have spent their whole lives gathering up an estate regardless of how big or small that estate might be, don't want to see it gobbled up by inheritance taxes, or the government in general.  They want to leave what they've spent a life time earning to their children. Yet too many fail to make a will. West Seattle lawyers like Michael Atkins can help in this regard.

Then there's personal injury. When a business has been negligent and an injury results, frequently employing the services of a lawyer is the only way to get the necessary compensation. There's also the case of elder abuse.

Finally, sadly, there's the case of legal separation and divorces. West Seattle lawyers who specialize in helping sort out custody issues and dissolution of property that is fair to both parties is essential.

Hookah Town: Electronic hookah pens

The cigarette business, and hopefully cigars and "smokeless tobacco" - are on their way out, because the evidence of health issues caused by indulging them is to strong to miss.

But the act of smoking is pleasurable,and one solution is to use hookah pens or hookah sticks that vaporize fruit flavored liquids - not nicotine.

These items are for sale online at a site called Hookah Town, which has a vast selection.

There are two types of hookah pens (also known as hookah sticks) those that are refillable, and those that are disposable. Each kind has a cartridge that gives the user about 80 puffs of the vaporized fruit flavored liquid of their choice.

Premier Roofing: Nashville Roofing Company

The walls of your house give it a pleasant appearance, but there's nothing more important to your home than your roof. If it has holes or missing shingles, little beasties can get inside and cause trouble. More than that, rain can get in and cause mold or mildew.

So if you ever have problems with your roof, you can call up Nashville roofing companies such as Premier Roofing.

If you've got a chimney, the seal around the stack and the roof is important, as are the seals around dormers. Since Nashville gets high winds, shingles that are securely fastened down are important!

Premier Roofing also supports the community, with their Roofs for Troops program - they offer a $250 rebate for active military, vets and retirees.

Pac Rite Inc: Shipping tubes

I've often found it necessary to use shipping tools. I'm always nervous of sending posters flat, because when *I* receive things I've ordered that are shipped flat, even if the sender puts all over it "please do not bend," my mailman crams it into my tiny mailbox.  Extremely annoying.  (I collect paper advertisements from WWII, and buy a lot on ebay).

So, Pac Rite Inc., which specializes in shipping tubes of all sizes, has a booming business, just because they manufacturer so many important items. Not only do they do shipping tubes, but also the cardboard cores that you see once you've used up all your packing tape or shipping labels.

And best of all, they are a 100% green company. That's nice to know.

Seattle custom home builders Benton Development not only build new homes, but will also remodel old ones. They also do small jobs - such as building decks and patios.

They do "green building."

They handle it all, fro excavating and grading the site, to carpentry, concrete, HVAC (that's heating and air conditioning), masonry, painting, plumbing, roofing, windows and doors, and of course electrical.

Snowater Lodge, Washington State

Snowater Lodge comes under the Mt. Baker lodging  category.

Mt. Baker, or Mount Baker as it is also called, is a well-known mountain in Washington state, part of the Cascade range, and visible from Seattle. Mount Rainier gets all the publicity because it is "the top" in everything, but Mount Baker is in second place -  the second-most thermally active crater in the Cascade Range, the most heavily glaciated of the Cascade Range volcanoes - again after Rainier; it's one claim to fame as the first is that it is the snowiest place on earth.

Located in the Mount Baker Wilderness, Mt. Baker can be seen from Victoria and Vancouver in Canada, and from Seattle and Tacoma in 

Which makes it a great place to visit in winter or summer time

When it comes to Mt. Baker lodging, Snowater lodge offers time shares.

Posting schedule resumes!

Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted here.

Well, I've never lost my enthusiasm for maintaining my Museum of Everything, so I'm getting my girdle in gear and getting back to posting.

Introducing the Miniscule Guide to Golf

I'm working on a new book, the Miniscule Guide to Golf... although I do not think I will turn it into a Kindle book as that is severely limiting my audience, as I'm fiding out with the Miniscule Guide to Making Money By Blogging. I don't think the Kindle is the right forum for how to books.... books on golf might be a different kettle of golf balls, though.

I may just turn thr Miniscule Guide to Making Money by Blogging into an ebook and sell it on my website.

Anyway, even though the book itself is several months away, it's time to start creating buzz about it now, so I've created a new blog for the purpose, and any golfers here are invited to check out:

Not that there's anything to look at there at the moment. I'll start serious posting tomorrow.

Microsoft, Yahoo agree on long-sought search deal

Microsoft, Yahoo agree on long-sought search deal

SAN FRANCISCO - Microsoft Corp. has finally roped Yahoo Inc. into an Internet search partnership, capping a convoluted pursuit that dragged on for years and finally setting the stage for the rivals to make an all-out assault against the dominance of Google Inc.

The 10-year deal announced Wednesday gives Microsoft access to the Internet's second-largest search engine audience, adding a potentially potent weapon to the software maker's Internet arsenal as it tries to better confront Google, the leader in online search and advertising.

Google tried to stop Yahoo from falling into Microsoft's camp. Last year it formed its own proposed search advertising deal with Yahoo, only to be forced to retreat from that alliance after U.S. antitrust officials threatened to sue.

Viral Video examples: Nora The Wonder Cat

Here's a viral video, which you can use in your own blogs if you like.

To get the code, click on bottom right hand arrow pointing upward. This brings up a menu box, click on the only thing active, which looks like a little dashboard. That causes the code for the URL to come up on the screen.

And if you're watching just to see what it's about...give the musicians about a minute, then the cat starts playing the piano. (Probably the camera was left running for weeks and weeks to get enough footage, but it's impressive nevertheless!)

Making Money With Blogging

When using viral videos to stimulate visitors to your blog, make sure you don't use too many. One a week is more than enough. Any more than that and your visitors won't beleive they are getting quality content, especially when your blog is supposed to be teaching them how to "make money" with something.

In order to be able to track your hits, and know that you're even getting any, you should add a counter to your blog. The one I use is called StatCounter. It's free, and it gives you tons of information.

Now, even though blogger is set up where it is supposed to announce new blog entries to the search engines automatically, it's also a good thing for you to do that announcing yourself. I'll show you how tomorrow.

Potter Puppet Pals: Snapes' Diary

I don't have time to write in this blog today, so I'm going to go with another viral video. This one's very popular, thanks to the obsession with the Harry Potter franchise.
