'I've been around the world and I, I , I....' Does anyone remember who sang that? That's right, Lisa Stansfield, the northern lass that 'spoke like that'! Well, not to put a finer point on it, but I have actually been around the world a few times. I'm a Brit married to an American living between the states and  Spain with the ocaisional trip back to blighty through France.
As you would expect therefore, Car Hire and I have had a few encounters over the years from good to bad to  indifferent. If your looking for  Car Hire Spain then I have a great resource for you. Argus rentals have an easy to use  site wherever to want to travel to but especially for Spain and Car Hire France they have a great selection and the booking is easy.

 ' Summertime and the booking is easy'. Isn't that Cole Porter? it would make a good TV soundtrack for a commercial!!

I digress.  As I was saying, if you need a car then check out  argusrentals .com

When it comes to printing I get cold shivers. I was the guy that thought he had a deal when a few years ago I bought a laser printer for $500. When I realised the cartridges would cost me $800 i wasn't smiling so hard!
Thats beside the point. The point is, that anything that reduces the cost of printer cartridges is a good thing and worth a mention.
It wasn't until I married an American that I got to know what coupons were....but I sure do know now.
So here is a site where you can download some super coupons and get some great discounts including inksmile coupons for printer cartridges. The  inksmile coupon
is a coupon for inksmile.com, the company that provides printer cartridges for just about every make you can think of.
Every little helps, so check out www.super-coupons.net

The Free Music Sharing, Free Downloads debate continues to rage.The recent court decision against a 'downloader' which cost her more money than she has was a typical response from the establishment who are too slow to recognise that changes in the market aren't happening...they already happened!!
I must be slow...or maybe I get too involved in my own area of work because I have only just stumbled across this site called Ares Ultra.
It seems to be a slightly different angle on the whole music sharing, open source, free downloads industry and by all accounts I am almost the last to discover it!
You can download the software for free and share to your hearts content. They say there are no problems with regulation up to this point but you will have to make your own mind up on that point...disclaimer, disclaimer etc, etc.
Anyway, it is certainly interesting and worth checking out. www.officialares.com

Settlement Capital Corporation was the first to purchase annuity payments back in 1988. The practice has since flourished into a vibrant market. The practice of converting your monthly or annual payments received from court settlements, lottery winnings etc provides clients with the chance of capitalizing their structured settlements giving them access to the original capital at  factored rate.

As one of the first in the market, Settlement Capital Corporation has been a market leader in the field and continues to find the most competitive of rates for its ever expanding client base.

 

The practice of capitalizing annuity settlements with court approval has been passed into law in 46 of the 50 states, although it is possible to use an insurance companies state of registration for the purposes of those states that have yet to pass laws allowing the process. Settlement Capital Corporation have been influential in helping in bringing these laws into effect and will continue to work with the legislature across the country to make laws  work to the settlement holders benefit.

 

For the really lucky ones, those Lottery winners looking to capitalize their long term income streams, SCC has years of experience in helping winners take their twenty /twenty-five year payouts and give out a capital sum, which if invested wisely can overshadow the original winnings
