A great free ONLINE STORAGE deal for the next WEEK

Posted by ctfarp in free, new sites

If you already have online storage for your computer files, saving them online instead on a storage disk, hard disk or USB drive, then you probably are already aware that most companies will only offer you about 5 GB free space, charging a monthly fee to upgrade.

Well, there’s a new space on the market, and for the next few weeks, HUMYO.com is offering FREE 30 GB storage online. This includes a 14-day trial of their desktop software.

The interface is super. I signed up for it several weeks ago, and the offer is in effect for 2 more weeks WEEK (only).

BETTER HURRY, this is a PROMO deal for a to celebrate the inception of this website, and like all new software “simulated” sites, it’s generally a tried & true good deal to initiate a new online competitor – in this instance, it’s for online storage capabilities – for which is has a lot (creates a new drive on your harddrive with the software – very easy interface separating music/videos/files auto separation…expands file search on a sidebar, etc… see 4 yourself.

The online interest in tutoring is now associated with a new website online at e-akademia.com.  Mr. Gen Suzuki has begun a serviced for Japanese speakers who wish to learn English online.  I attended an orientation several weeks ago here in San Francisco, California where Mr. Suzuki invited tutors to meet with him and discuss his new project.

The Benefits Of Being There

Posted by ctfarp in Uncategorized

It was an undoubtedly momentous event in Congress, with the passing of protective legislation for the mentally ill in the United States

What: Congress Passes Mental Health Parity Legislation

The success of the Mental Health Parity Bill (short name for the “H.R. 6983: Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008“) is attributable to Sen. Wellstone’s son, David Wellstone, whose fight 12 years following initial attempt to receive congressional approval so that mental health treatment would be considered equally viable for designated coverage on insurance matters (hospitalization and outpatient treatments) as it is for the treatment of physical ailments.

Patterson & Aloemaxx

Fw: before and after – Inbox – Yahoo! Mail

Dear Mark and Aloemaxx,

Attached are before and after pictures of me (I believe you will be able to tell which one is which)

I am amazed of the transformation. I was diagnosed with Rosacea by my Dermatologist. I have gone years with what I thought was adult acne, people at work and family would sometimes ask what was wrong with my face…my nose was always red it seems. After about a week or so of using the combination of the topical and oral Aloemaxx products my face started clearing and after one month I can say its the best its looked in a very very long time. My wife is amazed also, she says even my enlarged pores on my face are going away…I noticed this also but I’m not sure why…I hope this is a side effect! I can recall having two slight breakouts during the coarse of using the products. I feel that is was a combo of diet and stress related. However the outbreak was very short and within a day gone and hardly could notice it at all.

Again thank you very much for the great products…Like they say a picture is worth a thousand words… incredible results I think….

Best Regards,

Bobby

Reminder to return-on your phone!

Posted by admin in Aloe

There is a short list of “deal” websites that I view daily, if just to employ as a reminder that pennies only pinch me.

In this vein, I have found the super site, allowing me to turn in and recycle my “free with rebate” Nokia 2610 phone for a $5.00 return – and cellforcash.com (it beat sellyourcell.com for a return, but you can always shop and compare)…cellforcash pays for the little box with the prepaid stamp to pack/return my cell phone, and relieves me of the landfill guilt that comes prepackaged in hard plastic.

Here is the affiliate link for those who want to find the best recycle free deals on the web and are dime-watchers instead of 501-c-3 haters

so that you can say, Yes, I went to Stanford….

Posted by admin in free

First, I must give credit to Dealnews.com, one of several websites I frequent daily to cut down on daily expense expenditures. A “freebie” and not so freebie, but a great deal website, that is honest.

Okay, so today beats the punch card of all deal-days, with the following FREE ONLINE COURSES at Stanford, advertised:

Pascoe & Poll

Posted by ctfarp in Uncategorized

Rosacean(s):
David Pascoe, In the effort to raise awareness for research efforts to find a cure for the disease moderates the Rosacea-support Blog – here is his response to a request for ALOEMAXX reviews:

Hello Claire,

I see your posts on the rosacea news and rosacea support email group….

One thing that would be useful would be to hear more from the people who took part in the trial. Candi is the first one we have heard from I think. That would be the best way to collect together information on my sites rather than any fact sheets for now. If there is enough feedback over time I can put together a page summarizing people’s experiences. Collecting these reports can take some time as people gain the experiences that become valuable to other sufferers.

So if you could encourage people who have tried it to post back the rosacea support email group or on the rosacea support community that would be great.

Next “Clase”: Beef is Bueno Current

Posted by ctfarp in ESL, event, spanish

Next week, in celebration of Mexican Independence Day, the 2 Spanish classes I instruct are planning a “field trip” to one of the many local taquerias…in San Francisco. As a precursor to the trip, I located this great semi-intuitive-instructional video for the very beginner class – with subtitles, online at an “Moving To Argentina” website…since it’s just south of Mexico with it’s own interlacing history, I thought it would be an entertaining adjunct to the trip. PLEASE CLICK THE PAUSE BUTTON IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN VIEWING THE VIDEO…

Hopefully I will have time to create vocabulary “eating-out related words on the wiki (see sidebar link). This is a recommended video for showing to Spanish Beginner class
