People from effected areas will have to be evacuated as storms get stronger and will continue to have to determine what kind of damage has effected their homes. When Katrina was over and residents returned to their homes the debate became whether wind, flood or rain damage was to be paid by the insurance companies. Home-owner’s insurance covers the wind and rain damage, while the flood damage is paid by flood-insurance policies. To learn more on the rising insurance rates and what they mean to you visit USA Today’s site. So, to all the residents of coastal cities this hurricane season: Good Luck! You are going to need it.

That is why I recommend using a web host search engine like webhostingrating.com. Sites like this help people to compare the different webhosting sites and what they have to offer their customers. This page in particular will rate the different web hosts based on customer satisfaction, affordability, reliability, uptime and technical support. There are also a long list of articles that people have written to help you, the user, to navigate the vast and sometimes intimidating world of web site design and management. I recommend this site for anyone looking to start their own business, or anyone that would like to own their own web page.

You see the way to go when you first get started is to find a good web host. A web host is usually a web company that for a fee will buy you a .com and “fix it up” for you, and moderate it for you. There are thousands of web sites that offer this service so it is important to find the right one.

I am fond of pages that act as search engines because they pool the type of info you need, therefore, it takes you a shorter amount of time to find what you are looking for. This site not only does that but they also give you web host ratings, web hosting awards,web hosting reviews, and a long list of webmaster resources, for those of you that know a little bit more about the web. If you want to learn more they also have a web hosting articles section. They even provide a couple of “green” web hosts for people that care about the environment. All things considered, if I were starting my own business webhostinggeeks.com would be the first place I went.

There are other differences besides just the name of the storm though, people are actually leaving. Residents of New Orleans turned out in the thousand today at bus stations to leave their beloved city. Most of the people interviewed said that after Katrina they were not going to take any chances. For more in depth coverage go to The Weather Channels Homepage.

The last time that they wanted to improve their home I asked them if I could look around on the web and see if I couldn’t find a better deal for them. That is when I ran into the site for Personal Loans Leader. This is a site that connects the user with nationwide loans that are available for all credit types. A Personal Loan can be used for anything you need it for, from home renovations, like my parents, to pay bills, or to start a new business. The best part about this site is that there is no obligation to accept the loan if you are approved! So, if you need a little money for any reason this is the site to visit.

MMORPG stands for Massive Multi-player Online Role Playing Game. These are games that you play on the Internet with thousands if not millions of other people. Currently there are ten million people playing World of Warcraft otherwise known as WoW. This game has my vote because it is a beautiful world, it is very extensive with many places to explore, and it has emersive gameplay. WoW is the best game I have ever played on any system. I will post blogs as I find issues that concern me or that I think need looking at in regards to this game.

From Ka-Bar Knives to camping clothing to cooking supplies, Brigadeqm.com will get you started or just add to your collection. Their prices are comparable to what you would find at a store, but why would you want to skimp on the important gear you need to survive. If you are looking for camping or hunting gear this is your one-stop-shop.

Now I have flash 8, but I have used it very little. I’m not the artist I wish I was, and the first few flash tutorials had me wishing for a vacation in Siberia. I love what flash does, but the small time lines and scripting languages are just not my cup of tea. If anyone would like to draw up some flash maps that focus on a coffee theme, I’d love to have one!

It’s a great way to get rid of stress for me, and helps to get it all out. I am often amazed at how much easier I can sleep, or move on to other things once I have jotted down all my semi connected random thoughts. I also find new area of inspiration, and sometimes find things that are deep in my mind that I had not been overly consciously aware of.

Last year when it came time to get everything together for vacation I had to use a mind map. It is rare that I get to spend two weeks are from work, and there were so many things on my mind, without a mind map we would have never made it to Hawaii, much less been able to have a good time while there. My mind mind helped me plot out everything that needed to be done before we left, and helped me stay on focus to have a good time and enjoy it while we were there.

The vacation mind map saved me time and money, I recommend everyone jot down mind maps on a regular basis.
