When John lost his high paying job, he thought his life was over. How was he ever going to be able to afford to maintain his expensive lifestyle? How would he attract women? John had dedicated his life to living in the fast lane. When he suddenly was forced to slow down, it felt like he had ground to a halt.
After the shock wore off, John picked himself up again and started pounding the pavement, looking for work. He hadn’t lost his job because he wasn’t good at it, so he was confident that if a job was available, he would have a good shot at getting it.
It took almost half a year before John realized that he was dreaming. He was an upmarket real estate salesperson. That was fine. It was just that the market had dried up, so he wasn’t needed. He couldn’t even get in the door on a straight commission. Everyone in town had already cut back on staff and the sales staff they had weren’t going to accept having a newcomer steal what few leads they had.
In a strange twist of fate, John ended up going back to one of those offices and giving them his penthouse condo to sell. That was one bit of good luck he had going for him, because he had bought it very cheaply when it went up for foreclosure many years before. On the other hand, he sold it cheap, too. When it all came out of the wash, he realized he couldn’t afford to live in the expensive part of town anymore.
Reluctantly, John moved out of the big city when he finally found a job in an office in a little tourist town about two hours drive outside of town. Instead of investing in a small home in that area, he decided to hang onto the cash that he had and rent a small home instead.
Clearly, John’s big king-sized bed wasn’t going to fit into his tiny bedroom. He went out and bought a loft bed, to maximize the space he did have. Once he got over feeling sorry for himself, he came to love the loft. It reminded him of the bunk bed he’d had as a kid.
He had some expensive modern bar stools, but they just didn’t look right in his new home. Except for his favorite leather lounge, he sold everything else.
He stumbled across an old guy in his neighborhood who made wood bar stools on his home lathe and sold them from his garage. John quickly fell in love with the stools, bought several and became good friends with the old woodworker.
Over time, John adjusted to his new lifestyle and actually began to appreciate all the advantages it had to offer. Eventually, his old fast paced lifestyle seemed crazy to him. He felt relaxed and at home here. He needn’t have worried about attracting girls, either. He met the perfect woman there and now she is his wife.
Unique as they come, this pendant is beautifully artistic. In a crazy yet collected mix of silver and pink silk spheres, this piece will bring out the artist in you! Reflect your creative taste with this one-of-a-kind necklace! Necklace is 28″ long.

So I have this blue vintage tank top from my granny. Because it’s older the top is very covering and it had virtually no shape. So I look horrible in it. But it is still pretty cool and very soft so I want to alter it. Any ideas of how I can totally alter it to be modern and punky, but without the use of a sewing machine (just handsewing)
Any ideas would be great! Thanx!
Wear it with a funky belt around your waist and lots of necklaces.

Whether you need a gift for Christmas, a birthday or other occasion, anime fans can be hard to buy for, especially if you know little about the world known as “anime”. First, let me explain a little about anime. Anime is a type of animation that started in Japan. Basically, you can call it a Japanese version of cartoons. However, anime has some big differences. Where American animation tends to be geared primarily towards children, there are actually many types of anime, geared for many ages and interests. For instance, there are anime series targeted squarely at young boys, young girls, young women and so on. There are also adult anime series, with more adult themes and content. There are also many different thematic styles of anime, including those centered around robots (called mecha), romantic anime, fighting anime and so on.
In order for you to choose a fantastic gift for the anime fan in your life, you first need an idea of what anime series or at least what kind of anime series they enjoy. Find out by perusing their DVD collection or checking what they watch on TV. Once you know the series they like, here are some suggestions for surefire gifts for anime fans:
Manga
Manga is simply the Japanese version of comic books or graphic novels. Many anime series are based on a manga series. Any anime fan would love the original manga their favorite anime is based on. For original Japanese manga, you can usually find some on eBay and at Japanese importers like JustManga and Manga.com. For the most popular anime series, like Inuyasha, you can find English translated manga books at many major bookstores.
Live Action and Japanese Drama DVD’s
Some anime and manga series have a live action version, like Sailor Moon, that a Sailor Moon fan would likely be interested in. If your anime fan seems interested in Japanese culture, then consider getting them some Japanese TV drama series. There are many Japanese drama series aimed at tweens and teens that usually take place in school or high school. Check out Nodame Cantabile, Hana Yori Dango and Gokusen, each was based on anime or manga series or both. Look for these series at places like YesAsia and on eBay. Make sure to get the English subtitled versions.
Toys
Some anime series, like Gundam, Neon Genesis Evangelion and others, have many toys available. If you really want to get a special gift, try to get some of the toys that are imported from Japan. Toys available include action figures, vehicles, stuffed toys, models and dolls. You can find toys for the most popular anime series at major toy stores, but for not so popular series, try eBay, YesAsia and other import websites.
Video Games
Many of the most popular anime series like Naruto, Inuyasha and Bleach also have video games based on them. This is a great gift idea since what anime fan wouldn’t want to play a game as their favorite character? Make sure to find out what game system they have so you can get a game for their particular console or handheld.
Music
Many anime fans become interested in Japanese culture through anime, especially since popular Japanese artists and bands are used on the soundtracks to the majority of anime series. You can get them the soundtrack to the series or even a few JPOP or JROCK CD’s. JPOP and JROCK is the abbreviation of Japanese pop and Japanese rock music. Find many artists at both YesAsia and eBay. Popular Japanese music artists include Ayumi Hamasaki (pop), Utada Hikaru (pop/R&B), Arashi (pop boy band), L’Arc-en-Ciel (rock band), Morning Musume (pop girl band) and many more.
Collectibles & Decorative Items
There are also many collectibles and decorative items available for some series. Consider animation cells, limited edition toys, photo albums, calendars, posters and more. Find these at YesAsia and eBay.
Clothing & Apparel
Some anime fans enjoy dressing up as their favorite character, this is called “cosplay”. Try to find out who their favorite character is and get them a costume or accessories. For instance, an Inuyasha fan would love a necklace like the one Inuyasha wears or a play sword like he uses. Or go all out and get them a full costume just like their favorite character. One place to check out is CosplayMagic.com.
Language Books or Software
If your anime fan has a serious interest in Japanese culture, then consider getting them a book or audio learning set to help them learn, read and write Japanese. This is an excellent gift option if you’re having a hard time finding gifts from their favorite anime series. This is also a gift you can feel good about, since learning a new language is a very valuable skill for their future.
Food
From sushi to Pocky, if your anime fan has an interest in Japanese culture, they might like to try some of the food they have seen consumed in animes and dramas. Some suggestions include a sushi making kit, Japanese candy and gum, Pocky (a pretzel covered with chocolate), strange flavored Japanese versions of candy bars like KitKat and more. You can find many types of Japanese candy at AsianFoodGrocer and other Japanese food import sites.

[CHECK DESCRIPTION] Deadmau5 feat. Wolfgang Gartner – Animal Rights (Original Mix)
Since his last full-length, Juvenile’s situation changed in so many ways. He topped Billboard with the single “Slow Motion,” he had a not-so-friendly split with his label, Cash Money, and then Hurricane Katrina and its grim aftermath hit his New Orleans home hard, destroying his house and scattering friends and family across the country. There was also a three-single build-up to the album, with the raw mixtape hit “Animal” setting the streets on fire and the smooth “Rodeo” keeping radio happy before “Get Ya Hustle On” and its accompanying video painted the rapper as New Orleans’ most militant revolutionary, with Bush, Cheney, and Nagin all in his sights. Folks who caught the edited version of the song missed out on Juvy’s true assessment of the situation, which is basically that FEMA and the rest of the government have forgotten the Crescent City, so pushing crack is the way to step up and provide. Whether or not the powers that be edited the word “Pyrex” out of the tune because they felt it was product placement or were aware it was slang for a crack pipe, the track is a bleak party number that’s irresponsible while also being a stunning breakaway hit that brings into question whether or not the big corporations pimping it are now comfortable with crack dealing or totally unaware of how street-slang/street-life has progressed. The rest of the album is nowhere near as subversive, but Juvenile has constructed a wonderfully varied collection with club tracks, street burners, and even “one for the ladies.” “Addicted,” with smooth crooner Brian McKnight, is the blueprint for delivering a bedroom number without selling out, while all the previous hits sound even better here, surrounded by album tracks that are inspired. Special mention goes to “I Know You Know,” which is a great portrait of domestic life in the hood (Juvy speaking to his woman: “I’m comin’ home with a big bag of groceries/And somethin’ we can smoke up”), but longtime followers of the man’s story should jump right to the end of the album and check his bitter beef track, “Say It to Me Now,” which addresses the Cash Money split. Drop the laser anywhere and Juvenile’s lyrics are tricky, wry, riveting, but most of all, brutally honest and free of any major-label influence. Love it or be horrified by it, there’s no denying that the album’s title is as accurate as they come. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi Performers: Craig Love – Guitar; Donnie Scantz – Keyboards; LaMarquis Mark Jefferson – Bass; Skip – Vocals

This Is Animal Music sounds very much like the specific animal this Florida quintet have in mind is the bear, as in Seattle indie rockers Minus the Bear. Look Mexico have some serious Minus the Bear worship going on in their full-length debut, both in the songs themselves, with their similarly complex interwoven post-rock guitar parts and emo-tinged vocals, and in goofy song titles like “Dude, You Have a Bazooka” and “Me and My Dad Built Her.” Less intrusive echoes of any number of other first-generation emo and math rock acts flit through This Is Animal Music, but overall, the young band are so unapologetic about their influences that it’s difficult to fault them for the same. And at its best, like the genuinely catchy, country-ish pop-rocker “You Ever Get Punched in the Face for Talking Too Much?” and the equally tuneful “Not on My Watch,” This Is Animal Music is just as good as Minus the Bear, and slightly less pretentious to boot. Fans of that band should definitely check out Look Mexico, but there’s something here for other folks into the more cerebral side of post-emo indie rock as well. ~ Stewart Mason, Rovi Performers: Bill Agrella – Clarinet (Bass); David Smith – Horn; Jason Stahl – Horn; Shirley Agrella – Clarinet (Bass); Wilbert Neal – Horn; Alexander Vanderby – Vocals; David Bumsted – Vocals; Eric Collins – Vocals; Justin Whatley – Vocals; Mich

Boutique Hotels – Providing Only the Best Amenities for Their Guests
One thing that a person will certainly look for in any boutique hotel or any type of hotel is the provided amenities and their quality. Experts believe that amenities are the things which although are smaller in size and significance, but can definitely put a huge effect on the stay. When these things are satisfyingly organized, they can give the feel or the comfort exactly of your home. In this way, these amenities become the very important factor in determining the popularity of not only boutique hotels but any other hotel. With boutique hotels, the expectation rises because everyone expects them to be like their homes.
That’s why it becomes very important for boutique hotels to provide the best amenities and services to their guests. For boutique hotels, it is said that they have the habit of providing best things to their guests and making them spoiled by their habits. Guests of boutique hotels live through comfort. This is the reason why these boutique hotels have to provide high quality soaps, body lotions, branded toothpastes and toothbrushes and superior quality towels and slippers. For any visitor of a boutique hotel, the necessity of amenities is not restricted to toothpastes, body oils, body lotion etc. These are the basic things any hotel will provide. The good thing about boutique hotels is that other than providing these things in abundance, they show their extra concern for their customers by providing toothpastes, toothbrushes, shaving foam, deodorants, hair gels, bathroom towels, bathroom slippers and many other things of basic needs.
Boutique hotel owners get these objects of daily needs in bulk from some distributors called as ‘hospitality supply distributors’. This business of hospitality supply is a very service oriented and competitive one and boutique hotel owners make sure that they are buying the best things from the best in the market, just to provide excellent services to their guests. You can also check the websites of the companies from where boutique hotel preferred by you, purchase these articles. But with boutique hotels, the point never comes when you have to crosscheck their services and facilities. The amenities that are normally provided by any boutique hotel includes toothpastes and toothbrushes from the best brands of the market and many other products of personal hygiene which are needed by the guests such as scented roll-on anti-body odor, body-lotion and hand-lotion, non-aerosol hair spray, marble shower caps. Mind you, these things are bought from the bests in the industry. One reason is this, why the guests of boutique hotels are bound to come back again and again to the same hotel.
Boutique hotels have the reputation of getting the best thing for their customers doesn’t matter how they arrange it. They get these products from the most respected brands of the market; just to assure that there is no divergence in the quality provided to the guests. And since, these products are tested and tried by the experts; these boutique hotels have no hesitation in buying them for their guests. For every boutique hotel, customer friendly basic amenities products are always on top priority and they gain much of the profit from this fact.
This is the hidden secret of the boutique hotels, that in order to guarantee success and popularity for your hotel, basic amenities should be provided to guests in the way they like them and should be treated as most important need of the guests.
