Real estate is probably one of the most talked about topics around. Even if you aren't discussing buying, and selling real estate directly, you are probably talking about owning a home one day, hearing about someone getting evicted from their home, remodeling or redecorating your house, etc. For the most part, the furnishings that you have for a home are of the standard variety (swimming pool, some shrubs for the front yard, that sort of thing). However, every so often you have someone that decides that they want their home to stand out from all the others. But instead of putting in a nice rose bush, or perhaps putting in a lighted walkway, they decide that it would be really cool to build a house where the roof is on the ground, and the entrance is up high in the air. The pictures below represent architecture where imagination was stretched to its limits. Some of the real estate properties are ones that you might be able to imagine yourself in one day (especially with "...

Many companies have wondered about how to create better harmony in the workplace . In today's economy, companies have to strive to be as competitive as they can be. Many just focus on making really good products, but what those same companies don't realize is that if they can build staff loyalty, the staff would work harder to be ambassadors of the company's products. By working harder to make your staff a really cohesive unit, you can do much more for your company than just focusing on product improvement alone. One of the best places to start in creating staff unity, is by going over the staff policies making sure that they help to create a productive workplace environment, while being fair to everyone involved. When companies create their policies on what is acceptable behavior among the staff, it can be tricky. Since not everyone has the same sense of humor, what is funny to one person can be considered offensive by another, and what one person would consider a com...

It is tough trying to make ends meet. Sometimes you have to take on a second job, if you were lucky enough to find a first. There are many families that work really hard to pay their bills, and still have enough left over to exist on. But being homeless is even tougher. Sometimes you're lucky, and you can live out of your car, but many homeless people have to rely on living in shelters when space is available while others have to take to the streets. In this kind of a situation you would find it hard to consider someone able to save their money to do anything, and going to college would seem to be out of the question.

Dawn had been used to her family having to move from place to place, getting evicted several times throughout her teenage years. When sh...

But almost every child, at one time or another, has taken up music lessons (by choice, or by force). One of the most popular instruments that children practice is the piano. If you have ever practiced piano as a kid, you know how tough it can be. Going through musical scales, and trying to learn even the simplest piano pieces can be very difficult. That is, unless you are a child prodigy like Sho Yano. At the age of 9, Sho was an accomplished pianist wowing family, and friends alike. But the story doesn't end there.

If you have been working on improving your local SEO standing for your website, chances are that you have hired out a backlinks service in order to build backlinks to your site.

If you are familiar with reality tv, then you know about the "falling in love" reality series like "The Bachelor", and "Daisy of Love". You have some person come on that is looking for love, and doesn't mind having their personal laundry aired on national television. Sometimes this person is a celebrity (which makes it easier for the producers to get people interested in their show), but then sometimes its a good looking John Doe, or Jane Doe who is just like you, and me, and is searching for the love of their life. With the "regular person" angle, there is usually a twist - the person acts like they are rich, but actually they are poor, or they act like they want to fall in love, but are pretending to see which contestant will last the longest. But after all this time of having spoofs of the other types of reality shows, there is finally a spoof of the "finding love" genre. Enter "Burning Love" - a spoof of the ...
