This post brought to you by Snapdragon by Qualcomm. All opinions are 100% mine.

We were just alerted that Qualcomm stadium the home of the surging San Diego Chargers will get a temporary name change to Snapdragon Stadium from Dec 18-29. I don’t believe this is something being done to help the playoff chances of the Chargers, but a great marketing move since  Snapdragon processors by Qualcomm are the digital brains inside mobile devices made and are found in many of the new tablets as well. The main events that will taking place over the course of this eleven day name change are:

The Sunday Night Football game between the San Diego Chargers and the Baltimore Ravens. A huge game with playoff implications for both teams.

Two college bowl games: The San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl (Dec. 21) and the Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl (Dec. 28).

I think this is a brilliant move based on the timing and the link between Qualcomm and Snapdragon. With the speed and agility that these processors possess they are the market leaders behind the brains of most of the smartphones like those made by HTC, Samsung, and Nokia. With smartphones being asked to do so many functions a processor was needed to run simultaneous applications and also not drain the battery. That is why Snapdragon processors are the chip of choice in the mobile world because of their proven success and reliability.

If you work in an office then you have probably had conversations with your co-workers on what could be better. As companies look to improve margins the workspace has moved to the bottom of the list. You can watch episodes of the Office and some of the content does hit home if you have ever worked in an open work space environment. This is evident by companies encouraging employees to work from home, and even sharing work spaces. This has created an environment that  de-motivates the employee to take care of their work space or work area.

Binary Options Trading Outshines Online Gaming

While most gamblers are looking for new bingo sites in order to claim some free no deposit bingo bonuses, online investors are taking an entirely different road, as they are starting to trade binary options over the internet so they can earn up to 91% return on their initial investment. The reason behind the escalation of this form of trading can be attributed to a number of reasons, but most importantly it has to do with the fact that it is very simple, as opposed to forex trading, it involves very little risk from the investors’ point of view and it can be done from the comfort of their own home at their own leisure.

The boom in the industry is also accredited to the fact that investors who trade online have a number of trading tools, that no trader can find on the stock exchange, that help them either increase their profits, by using the ‘Double’ feature which enables them to double their payout, or even minimize their loss by using the popular ‘Stop Loss’ feature, which gives an investor the chance to stop their selected binary option if that asset looks to be out of the money.

Investors who register an account at Option Range, by far the leading brand in the world of binary trading, can also benefit from a free demo account that gives them the chance to trade and learn all the ins and outs without having to make a real money deposit. Once they start their binary options trading trip, they can also take advantage of the fact that they can start trading from as little as ten dollars, which reduces the risk substantially, while the opportunity to make significant profits is still there.

A look at the new series Untitled Jersey City Project

Before you make any judgments about Untitled Jersey City Project you need to take a look at the sneak peek video below. It is not the latest reality show where tanned and raucous young adults party their days away. New Jersey has gotten a bad rap with high crime and old school thinking. The Untitled Jersey City Project takes aim at showing the new Jersey City where the old school rules still apply to business and life. There appears to be multiple story lines that blend the new Jersey City with the old crime bosses. I am not sure if this will be a new age BoardWalk and showcase the unspoken way of doing business through force and intimidation. I do like these types of story lines and am a huge fan of The Godfather. I also like the how the scenes are shot where they show you what happens upfront and then flashback several hours to show you the characters got to that point. I feel it creates more engagement with the audience as you begin looking for clues as to what is going to happen.

 

Take a look at the special sneak peek video and get read for the rest of the story to unfold. I would also ask that you provide your feedback and let us know what you think. I love this way if introducing a new series and the video snippets really capture your attention and leave you wanting more.

Uses for your tarps

What do you like to take along with you on those weekend or week-long camping trips? A good tent to sleep in would be the first thing most campers would select to bring. I actually find a sleeping bag and sleeping underneath the stars is a lot easier; than bringing a tent, tarps to help protect against rain and wind and take down after the trip is over. So no tent for me, just a good sleeping bag and hope that it doesn’t rain. Most of my camping trips are for 1 to 3 nights and I usually have a good idea about the weather forecast. If I was going on a camping trip that would have me out in the woods for 5 days or more, I would probably want to take a tent too. The weather is the main reason why. You do want a tent for shelter, if the skies above decide to open up and start raining cats and dogs.

The next issue campers must overcome is the lighting needs for their trips. A good campfire is good for most of the lighting needs, but a few other popular activities call for more light to be present. I like to fish at night time. It’s hard to put a hook on a fishing line with the light from the campfire. I prefer to have a flashlight or lantern present for this chore of putting a new hook on. Using poly tarps to create a temporary shelter along the river bank can be a nice addition to protect you from the elements. In case one light source fails, it’s always good to have a backup plan. I think my perfect camping trip would include 2 flashlights (1 big, 1 small) and a lantern for other lighting purposes.

Fixing your own car with OEM parts

I have been impressed with the Toyota line of cars even though they took a beating on their safety with the recalls that took place this past year. I own a 2009 Toyota Camry and have had Camry’s in the past and have always been pleased with the performance and quality of Toyota. My wife and I are in the market to upgrade our Honda Odyssey. With three kids under the age of 12 the mini-van still fits our life style and needs as we are shuffling kids between school and soccer practice. We have been reading about some of the great reports on the new Toyota mini-van and went to take a look to see how it compared to our existing vehicle. While our van is still in great shape I know that some major repairs may be just around the corner. I have looked at OEM Car Parts for the Honda and it is less expensive to buy the parts and install yourself, I still want to have a licensed mechanic do it. In our area there are several Car Dealers that carry the Honda brand so we chose one that was closer to our home that had been recommended by neighbors. Once we got to the dealers showroom the experience was quite pleasant and the salespeople were not overly aggressive and were eager to actually listen to what we needed and not what they wanted to sell us.

As we took the car for a test drive we piled everyone into the van and went out on the road. We have been watching the Toyota family videos for the new Sienna and what my wife and I have seen has been very impressive. Toyota’s social media campaign is a wonderful idea by creating a family that you can follow and relate to about issues that a family will encounter. They are also trying to recreate the image of the minivan to make it more appealing to those that would not normally drive a minivan and have opted for the SUV. I am also going to check out the Toyota OEM Auto Parts pricing to see what repairs could cost down the road. We will make our decision this fall once the 2011 models are released and we are able to take our test drive to compare the models.

For those that head to the New Jersey Shore each summer there is a new attraction that looks to be a new favorite on the boardwalk. The new Ghost Ship at Morey’s Piers with over 15,000 feet of terror where they use live actors as well animatronics along the ride to give the customers a unique  experience is getting rave reviews. We have been to the New Jersey shore several times and Morey Piers was always a favorite destination for us and our kids and we look forward to making it back there again with friends and family. This new attraction to the already robust entertainment that Morey’s Pier already offers will only enhance your summer fun.
