I am metformin 500 mg buy a bit of a road warrior, I do a fair bit of traveling for work. I have been rather loyal to my airline of choice and their star alliance partners. But when I had to book a flight at the last minute for a family emergency, I thought long and hard about the carrier I choose. My main concern was that I am not exactly sure when I need to come back and a round trip ticket was a far better deal than i was finding with one way trips at the last minute. I know I was going to shell out a $150 change fee with my normal carrier, when it was time to come home. So I looked at Southwest based purely off their commercials.

The festival type seating was a little confusing at first simply because other airlines want to change you extra for choosing and aisle seat or exit row. With Southwest it is simply a matter of who gets there first. The other thing was that the leg room on my flights was very spacious, and the seats had much more recline that other airlines.

The only downside I can see to southwest is that there is no extras on the plane. Food other than snacks are not available and in flight entertainment is limited to what you bring with you. It really is like a bus that flys. These are things that other airlines charge you an extra fee for anyway.

I can’t say that southwest will be my new carrier of choice, simply because I do mostly international travel, but when traveling on my own dime it will definitely be near the top of my short list of carriers.

Sennheiser CX300-B Earbuds

These Sennheiser CX300-B Earbuds (Black) ear buds metformin weight loss just arrived on my door. I plugged them in to my Ipod Nano and was surprised by the great sound and noise cancellation (I had to switch to the small plugs). I have the stereo on and a small space heater next to me and I can’t hear either with the earbuds in.

The cord is long enough. the only thing was the packaging. It was one of those crappy plastic blister packs that you must have a razor blade to open.

This is a review of the book The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich by Timothy Ferriss.

I have to start by saying I really want to Love this book. Who wouldn’t want what this book promises? Work only 4 hours a week, Travel the World, and Live in luxury.

I have only made it to chapter 4 and I am having some reservations about this book. I am hoping he starts addressing my doubts soon. This is not going to be something everybody can do.

I will say that I am glad he doesn’t spend half the book trying to sell me on his Idea like a lot of other books do. His writing style is very direct and he is good a communicating his point.

So far the book is about Setting Dreams and cutting things out that waste your time. I can see his point on a lot of this, but I think you have to take it with a grain of salt. Many times I feel he is teaching or going to teach you how to be an Asshole and How to cheat your employer. Everything is this world is a matter of perspective and I can see what he is saying, but I am not sure I can feel good about doing it. For example: He explains How he won his fighting title. It was by exploiting the rules. And how he harassed his teachers to give him better grades in school. What he did was legally right, but dosen’t mean it was ethically right.

I will work on finishing his book and then apply some of his rules, but if I were to follow his rules I wouldn’t be blogging or reading any blogs.

I will keep You posted.

I just bought a new Acer Aspire laptop (5610-2273). I t was on sale at best buy for 599.99. I have been looking to build a small form factor pc that I could travel with. I was planning running Linux and do some PVR work with it. Pricing it out I was gonna end up spending 500 bucks. When I cam across this laptop it fit my needs, was easy and would let we try out Vista.

so far I can say I don’t really like vista, the specs on this laptop is the same as my dell laptop running XP and the XP machine seems much better. That is for some other post.

I open my new Vista machine and I installed MSN live messenger. I put in my username and password and I get a message saying that windows has to close messenger due to a DEP error. “Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature that helps prevent damage from viruses and other security threats by monitoring your programs to make sure they use system memory safely.”

I tried a dozen different things to fix this problem. Then I read to try installing an old version of messenger. I went and found Messenger version 6. Installed that fine then it told me I had to upgrade. I upgraded to 7.0 and messenger finally works now.

UPDATE: I upgraded to Messenger 8 and the DEP error came back again. Acer now has a patch on their website to fix this. I hate Vista. OK all; sorry for the delay I was on vacation in Vegas. Keep an EYE out for those post coming up.

Here is the link to the Bug report on Acer’s web site – Here

Here is the link to download the patch — Here

File transfer with vista is really slow

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is Book 5 in the Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling.

I am going to leave the Synopsis to Amazon and just give you my feelings on this novel.

I really had mixed feelings about this book. I love the Harry potter series and J.K. Rowling’s ability to immerse the reader in to this fantasy world and this book is no different. This book still had me laughing, blushing and screaming out loud with the characters. I really felt I was there along for the ride with them. This book was different in that it is the first HP book that I wasn’t saying that it was great and I love every minute of it. While I was reading it I was really enjoying it and I kept wanting to finish it. As I look back, I attribute this to Rowling’s great writing, but this book really doesn’t convey much to the potter story line. I feel that this book was more aimed at Rowling’s younger readers as the bulk of the book is about a tyrant of a teacher named Dolores Umbridge. We can all identify with this, but it really doesn’t move the story along. When you do reach the end that was climatic you are eagar to find out what this has all been about and I was disappointed to learn it really is just some of the back story as to why Potter is the “The Boy Who Lived”

In the end the story does progress slightly and I was anxiously waiting to read the next book Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Some of the story line does relate to the Half blood prince but not much. I can only hope that more from this book contributes to the 7th and Final book due out this year.

If you haven’t read the rest of the Harry Potter books I encourage you read them. They are great and way better than the Movies.
