I really enjoyed The Hot Gates, a novel about Spartans.If you're into Scifi/fantasy, the trilogy His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman is a great page turner. If you're into classic literature...E.L. Doctorow's Ragtime is excellent. I'm also a great fan of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse 5. ann 2007-06-01T19:32:51Z http://www.vouchon.com/post/sterling-mondavi-v-sattui/ Oooh Napa! I love Napa! You must stop by Sterling. It has a great aerial tour and pretty great wine too. Mondavi is another good one, very chill, and it has awesome smooth wine.V. Sattui has free cheese tasting! Wine and cheese...very good combo!Oh and stop by Greystone (aka Chef Institute of America)...awesome food! ann 2007-06-01T19:28:54Z http://www.vouchon.com/post/drupal-is-the-best-cms/ Drupal is the easiest CMS to setup that I have ever used. The community is enormous, and there are a plethora of add-ons that can be installed. Be sure to subscribe to the security mailing list so that when security holes are found you can patch them right away. joshthejest 2007-05-07T17:42:48Z http://www.vouchon.com/post/gas-saving-tactics/ I don't know how obscure this is, but I always plan my trips. I never leave the house, in my car, unless I'm doing more than one thing. Also, tack on extra errands during the weekday, when you'll most likely be using your vehicle anyway. I always grocery shop after work, try to schedule doctors appointments right after work, run to the goodwill to donate, etc . . .Also, and I heard this on car talk, try not to drive over 60mph if you can manage it. Apparently in most cars that burns more fuel than it's worth. You might be the one everyone's passing on the highway, but your tanks going to be a little less expensive to fill in the long run. redhighway 2007-05-06T04:41:16Z http://www.vouchon.com/post/taglines-inspired-by-beakmans-world-intros/ When I was growing up there was this awesome educational tv show called Beakman's World.

EdwardH 2007-04-30T23:37:55Z http://www.vouchon.com/post/joomla-as-the-best-with-wordpress-2nd-best/ joomla is the best based on a large well organized active developer community with lots of mature add-onif your website touches many people in your organization and/or you need advanced publishing features and/or community building features and you need it to scale ... Joomla is the choice todayif you don't need the above, then often Wordpress is good enough ... WP also has active developer community and mature add-ons but it's strength is tied to it's blogging origins (Joomla can be used as a blog but it is an overkill)Most used both Wordpress and Joomla depending on the requirements cmayaud 2007-04-30T14:39:43Z http://www.vouchon.com/post/not-purchasing-vision-insurance/ I worked for a human resource outsourcing company for many years in management and operations. I also had my insurance license. Our insurance agents routinely discouraged employees from purchasing vision insurance. Why? It's a waste of money. Consider that you have to pay a few dollars for it out of every paycheck. Vision insurance typically allows you to visit the doctor once every two years and allows a set amount for glasses or contacts. When you add up what you paid in over the two years, versus the actual amount of the visit and glasses, it adds up to a very similar amount.You would do better to simply save the money yourself. Also, if you work for a company that has a good amount of employees, encourage the company to look into obtaining discount cards from a local optometry chain. They give your company cards good for a 10-25% discount off services, in exchange for the employees visiting them and not a competitor. Also, you can look into getting a discount by using things like student ID cards or Triple A auto cards. Good luck!

Syndicate House of Hair has an old school attitude with young energy and is a fun place to get your hair cut or an old style shave with a strait razor. The barbers' attention to detail is uncanny and the atmosphere is relaxing.After looking for a long time for a good barber shop in Long Beach, I finally found one I will be going back to. If you're in the area and in need of a trim, you should definitely check it out! memeplexes 2007-04-08T15:18:52Z http://www.vouchon.com/post/300-as-the-best-movie-this-year-by-far/ Go see this movie while it's in theaters or you will liver forever in regret.

There are many out there.I like Drione the best. Drione is a low odor dust that works as a desiccant on insects. Once on them, Drione breaks down their exoskeleton by drying them up. It can even be used on your pets. nukemdomis 2007-03-20T05:36:30Z http://www.vouchon.com/post/windows-vista-proscons/ The graphics are nice, it also has some improvements with wireless networking. However, there are very few drivers, it can be a pain getting some programs to work. I would recommend it for a PC; however, but not for laptops. The extra graphics and other processes take away from a significant amount of battery life. Also the way Vista handles "sleep" is much different. When a laptop is set to sleep any action (undocking or mouse moving) will wake it up, which can take up to 10 minutes, much longer than a shutdown. (XP would sleep/unsleep in a few seconds and only do so when you pressed the power button). smd.smd 2007-03-14T17:39:14Z http://www.vouchon.com/post/cool-tagline/ Where your recommendations find an audience - Vouchon!

I just needed to edit the time of some of my videos, nothing fancy, just time editing. So recently, Noel found this online video hosting site (similar to youtube). It is the perfect if you just want to upload, crop, and get the embedded code to post your video on other sites. Youtube doesn't let you crop time, and other softwares either suck or super expensive. I am very satisfied!!! Thanks Noel!! nhuchi 2007-03-01T17:00:01Z http://www.vouchon.com/post/bristol-farms/ Mozzarella! So it all depends on how the Mozzarella is packed. What you might have had would have probably been fresh too ... just a matter of packaging. In Rome I often frequented Obika( a mozzarella bar and the selection was wonderful. You must try their happy hour if you are ever there as it is one of the greatest deals in town). In the states I highly recommend Whole Foods and Bristol Farms for water packed creamy textured mozzarella. I make caprese with it and its absolutely wonderful. lizvuong 2007-02-28T13:31:48Z http://www.vouchon.com/post/paying-an-accountant/ It's not cheap but a good accountant is well worth the money. My wife and I have been using an accountant to prepare our taxes since we got married. My wife does a great job tracking our income and expenses and the accountant takes that information and gets us the largest possible deduction.You mentioned in an earlier comment that you're self-employed and this does complicate things a bit - because it gives you more options for deductions and structuring. Our cpa charges between $200-$300 to prepare our taxes each year.Besides that, if you plan to stay in business for yourself, you need an accountant you can trust. S/he will be able to help structure your business on the front end so that you save the most on taxes, fees, expenses, etc. Hope this helps! stuboo 2007-02-17T05:07:44Z http://www.vouchon.com/post/dr-scholls-odoer-destroyers-shoe-shot/ Ok, prepare to be amazed. Your smelly shoe problem is over. I do not work for Dr. Scholl's. Dr Scholl's Shoe Shot does the job. I had these pair of Lugz (work boot type) several years ago and tried everything under the sun. My friend non-chalantly said, hey try this. I liked it so much he gave it to me, and I never had the problem again. Now my stupid no hole leather work shoes have no smell, and of course socks and feet just fine. You will never be the same, a product that actually does what it says and works, amazing! lakers08 2007-02-16T21:40:08Z http://www.vouchon.com/post/buffettology-for-the-basics-of-stock-investing/ Well it's not a website, but I can definitely vouchon Buffettology, a book by Mary Buffett (Warren Buffett's daughter in law) and David Clark. The book is a great overview of the basics of stock investing, based on the success of the great investor Warren Buffett. I also learned a lot about business in general just by reading the book.And i agree with you about motley fool. I thought it used to be a pretty good resource for new comers, but it feels like it has gone downhill over the years. memeplexes 2007-02-16T18:52:46Z http://www.vouchon.com/post/transcendental-experiences/ experiences Nos 2007-02-15T22:08:09Z http://www.vouchon.com/post/job-change/ You can claim resume printing, driving to interviews, job counseling , etc. If you relocate for a job, you can claim movers, storage and the like.

It's graphics are stunning. If you press the windows key and tab it will give you a nice 3-D version of alt-tab. The only bad thing about Vista is that the not too companies have created Vista drivers. You may find that a lot of programs and hardware will not work becuase of incompatible drivers. My suggestion is Don't format your Windows XP. Wait until Vista SP1 comes out. Experiment with Vista on a secondary computer. ntruong 2007-02-13T23:49:04Z http://www.vouchon.com/post/this-is-red-bull/ its bull painted red or one that is really angry for whatever reason a bovine might have to be agnry gcore714 2007-02-12T15:05:23Z http://www.vouchon.com/post/foot-odor/ hahah I'm the unfortunate friend that both the same shoes! heheh I've tried the gold bond foot spray and still it did nothing. I really don't think there's a cure. It's definitely the fabric. I still wear them, but only if I know I will not have to take them off in public. hahah It sucks, but that's the price you have to pay for a cute pair of shoes, especially an expensive one, so you better make some use of it. nhuchi 2007-02-10T01:25:31Z http://www.vouchon.com/post/tagline-for-vouchoncom/ Vouchon - Hope is in the Question,Power is in the Answer.Grab the Power dad 2007-02-06T16:13:19Z http://www.vouchon.com/post/apple-slices-wpumpkin-dip/ Just slice the apples.

Watching the green leaves expand or open up in the hot water is relaxing in itself.I can't recommend any brands because I've never bought the full leaf variation myself, I've received it as gifts from friends, but perhaps someone else on here will be able to vouchon a good brand. memeplexes 2007-02-02T17:27:21Z http://www.vouchon.com/post/hamilton-beach-custom-grind/ I have a hamilton beach custom grind that works really well for grinding small batches of coffee. It has blades as opposed to burrs.I don't know how well the burr grinders work but so far the blade grinder has done the trick for me. memeplexes 2007-02-02T17:21:03Z http://www.vouchon.com/post/pepcid-ac-cures-the-asian-glow/ I swear by this! It works like magic for people who get super red and super drunk after a shot of liquor. It's completely safe and works really well. I always carry around a couple pills just in case. Take one 15-20 mins before your first drink and you will be protected from the embrassing redness. It also gives you a nice buzz instead of the heavy drunkeness feeling. nhuchi 2007-02-02T16:01:37Z http://www.vouchon.com/post/quality-teas/ Half my family is British, tea is a serious matter. While we differ on brands, we do agree open/full leaf is the only way to go. At work I keep a Black and Decker Brew n'Go - made to do one cup of coffee but it works perfect for open leaf tea. (Use two teaspoons for one coffee cup worth of tea).My brand is Republic of Tea - I drink tea straight as you do and I find they have the best flavor. For the morning, I'd say go with black teas (also higher caffeine than green), and Earl Greyer is a good place to start. Vanilla Almond and Ginger Peach are two of my favorites for branching out. I'd say order one of each in an 10oz full leaf can and get yourself a Brew n'Go. In a week you'll be saying, "what's coffee"? vinull 2007-02-02T12:38:30Z http://www.vouchon.com/post/salesforcecom/ the leader in crm is salesforce.com driglaz 2007-01-30T05:53:07Z
