Vidoe Games


Guest post from: Constance Rodgers

I may be pushing 30 but my buddies and I still like to get together and play video games. I know, some people think it is immature but that doesn't matter to us, it is something we enjoy doing. Yesterday we were at Ryan's house and we were playing one of those first person shooters where you trying to get all the aliens before they take over your planet. After several hours of slaying celestial serpents we decided that we should chill out and watch a movie. This is usually a problem because we all have different tastes in movies. Ryan likes action, Rob likes comedies and I like science fiction. Today the task of choice a movie has made even harder due to the multitude of choices that Ryan had on his TV. He told me that he signed up for the service at www.cannonsatellite.com. All of us were amazed at the number of movies there were. It only took 30 minutes for us to decide on The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

Masters of Nursing


Guest blog post by Erin McKinney



I created my site, Masters of Nursing, to respond to the rising popularity of online degree programs. As a nurse practitioner, I wanted my site to be a quality resource for nursing students who were considering getting an advanced nursing degree to get ahead in their careers.

Target Visitors

The main people who would benefit from the Masters of Nursing site are those who already have a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Nursing. As most advanced nursing programs require applicants to have some professional experience in the field, most visitors will probably be registered nurses (RNs) as well, or have a similar job in healthcare.

Articles and Resources

Masters of Nursing offers a number of articles and resources about Masters of Nursing degrees. Some topics include degree requirements, degree specializations, career prospects, average salaries, and information on grants and scholarships. Visitors can also perform a personalized search for nursing programs based on degree level, type of program, and location, so that they find a program that best suits their needs. There are even links to other Nursing Degree sites, in case visitors are looking for information on a different type of nursing degree such as a Bachelor’s or PhD.

This article was written by Erin McKinney, who is a licensed nurse practitioner. Erin also owns the site Masters of Nursing for students interested in getting an advanced degree in the nursing field.

Love Maegan – One Creative Blogger



One of my daughters fell in love with a blog written by a very creative woman (sadly, the blog is not mine). Lindsey is so dedicated to this blog that she not only reads Maegan's blog practically every day, she also implements Maegan's creative ideas. Talk about a great blog.

To be honest, I'm jealous of Maegan. She writes about EVERYTHING creative, from sparkly fingernails to yummy recipes to fashionable and unique necklaces to unusual but useful home DIYs to … I could keep going and going, but it would be more fun for you to just click her blog and read through her hundreds (if not thousands) of creative ideas.

Click …loveMaegan to explore the world of a very talented and creative lady.

Thank you, Lindsey, for introducing me to Maegan.

Steam Cleaning With The Steam Team



When I was eleven years old, on one of the coldest days in Chicago's recoded history (at that time), fire ripped through my family home and made it unlivable. The fire caused a hole in the floor that opened to the basement. Smoke damage ruined every fiber in the home– from the carpeting on the floor to the furniture on the carpet, to the clothing hanging in all of the closets.

Fortunately my parents were the ones who handled matters relating to house fires, but I would later learn about insurance matters when the ceiling leaked all over my kitchen floor this past year. I had no clue though about where to go when it came to contractors.

For those of my readers who live in the Austin area, however, one company handles just about every type of home repair needed. Whether you've had fire damage, flood damage, or smoke damage, The Steam Team will repair your home and return it to its natural beauty.

The Steam Team, located in Austin, Texas, power washes your home, provides round rock carpet cleaning, and removes mold odor. They also clean suede leather, microfiber upholstery, and silk rugs.

In other words The Steam Team does it all. So if you live in the Austin area and you want to remove smoke odor, get your air ducts cleaned out, or have your carpets professionally cleaned, click the following link.

Give Blue Sky Scrubs as a Gift!

Blue Sky Scrubs offers some of the nicest looking hospital scrub uniforms I've ever seen. Having been in the hospital numerous times over the years, I've noticed a change in scrubs. What once used to be rather bland-looking uniforms now look almost fashionable.

Even their scrub hats are cute. But Blue Sky Scrubs offers more than just plain scrub hats and scrub uniforms. They offer Urban nursing scrubs, Grey Label scrubs, holiday scrub hats, Christmas prints, and animal prints that include Zebra, Giraffe, and Leopard.

Blue Sky Scrubs is not limited to nursing scrubs, lab coats, and scrub hats, though their selection is quite extensive – they also offer baby scrubs and kid scrubs (cute gifts for the child who likes to play "doctor").

What is your favorite color? Blue, black, brown, grey, pink, purple, red? Blue Sky has a scrub for you! And the scrubs come in sizes that range from extra extra small to plus size.

Those scrubs can even be trendy (see photo).

If you are looking for unique nursing scrubs or for a gift for that special nurse in your life, make sure to link to Blue Sky Scrubs for the greatest selection of nursing items.
