E-mail Professionalism”What is an e-mail address? How does it affect my business?”Good questions. Think of the customers of Australian telecommunications giant OneTel. When e-mail addresses such as abcCompany @onetel.com.au became useless within the span of a week, the majority of customers turned to DingoBlue for a new one, such as abcCompany @dingoblue.net.au. A year later, it was DingoBlue”s turn to close its doors, leaving those same customers to find a new e-mail address altogether.A personal or business e-mail address such as bob.brown @businesscabinets.com is like a business card: “This is Bob Brown from Business Cabinets, and we make Cabinets, it…

LASIK surgery has been around for awhile now, but whats the next new thing? The FDA has recently approved the newest technology of custom LASIK. Custom LASIK is based on the individuality of each eye. Your eyes are not like mine, so why should I be having a one size fits all surgery?

It was a 150-year-old farmhouse and we were lucky to get it. The house had been well cared for, but nonetheless was showing its age. It had been more than a quarter of a century since it had been remodelled. The thing that struck us most about the two-story stone and frame structure was that it was so much different than the modern homes in a subdivision that had sprung up nearby. This house had tremendous character.I am not a decorator and will be the first to admit it. Personally, I didnt see what was wrong with putting an orange…
Well opinions divide into two groups. The Love Them Group and the Hate Them Group.Why is opinion so so strongly divided on a simple subject?

Snowboarding has become an Olympic event and has even forced us to ask ourselves questions about our society when we use the phrase…
