When traveling to most cities of the world, finding discount accommodations when arriving to your destination is always a possibility. Not so in the diverse and complex city of San Francisco. From the hills of Daly City to the plains of Berkeley, the environments and people are so diverse that your vacation could with one dial of the phone be a paradise made in heaven or an inferno designed in, well you know, that other place. Families making their hotel reservations at the smaller hotels that dot the periphery of San Francisco might be able to land a bargain, but find they may find themselves sharing accommodations with other crawling critters that would make even the toughest among us parents...
Soooo. You're interested in how much ad copywriters actually make, are you? Don't be embarrassed. You can say that you are. Well hand onto your socks, because the average salary of ad copywriters is anything but ordinary. Junior ad copywriters right out of ad school certainly don't make what MBA's make, but it's nothing that would require us to grab a Kleenex and well up with tears. With portfolios that still boast that 'new car smell', good junior copywriters start at about $25 to $35K. (Obviously as you hear these numbers, be aware that the lower numbers are usually more correct, whereas the upper numbers could be MUCH higher.) Once a year or two has passed and the junior writer has done some good...

The Natural Habitat of Animals
If a detective were tracking down a criminal, he would first find out about the mans habits and customs of living so he would have some idea of where to start his search. To track animals, too, you must know about their way of life. It would be most unusual to find a fox in a city park or a badger in the deepest forest, nor would you ever suspect a swamp animal of making tracks in a dry, fallow field. Every animal has its own natural habitat, which of course frequently cuts across those of other animals. In general we have a pretty good idea of where different animals make their homes. Foxes, rabbits, mice, jays, and birds of prey can be found in or over open countryside. Deer (up to about 6000 feet...

Rocket Mom Shops New York City
It was over-the-top, being treated to four days in New York City at Christmastime by the generosity of a Fortune 100 company. Its beauty was breath-taking, with a heavy snow preceding our trip blanketing Central Park; and lights, garlands and trees accenting everything from doorways to ceilings (Saks' twinkling white lights strung along its ceilings and through tree limbs arching over every aisle is nothing short of glorious) to rooftops; and the temperatures, while nippy, were hardly bone-chilling. From Rockefeller Center to Times Square to The Met to The Park: New York was magical. My promise to bring to you New York City bargains was ever-present in my mind as I pounded the pavements throughout...

Finding A Nice San Francisco Hotel
Getting a San Francisco Hotel is different than in most places because location matters a great deal. San Francisco has almost always been known as a romantic city. The city lights, a large bay, a couple of bridges, some great history and Victorian row houses all are a part of the San Francisco landscape. It also what makes this city offer a unique experience for families, couples and even singles. When visiting San Francisco the first thing to consider when selecting a hotel is the proximity to public transportation. Traffic in this city by the bay is horrendous and the street layout is extremely difficult to maneuver. As with many older cities, San Francisco grew up over decades before there...
Residential Real Estate and Water Damage Claims...
Homeowners' insurance is a must for any owner of residential real estate. It has been around for many years, coming to the rescue of many real estate homeowners. Leaky pipes and their subsequent damage have been causing homeowners grief for an even longer time. Homeowners' insurance has alleviated such problems by underwriting the cost for repairs. I remember as a child my father making repairs with money from our homeowner's insurance policy. He told me that there was never a claim too small, unless it was within the deductible range. While my father's information was correct for the times, the rules for small claims on residential real estate have changed. Submitting a small claim today...

Other than that, doing nothing, nothing, I say, nothing at all. Somewhere in the background the nation's song is being played, and what really is going through my mind on this sunny day is: who will ever remember this one simple day. My wife is reading the book: "Last Autumn and Winter," poems out of Minnesota, and all around her the world seems busy, hot, sounds with entities of life. No potholes, like in Minnesota to worry about, or eleven...

Educators in the San Francisco Public Schools are frustrated by the lack of balance in education. The recent focus on mandatory testing has moved schools nationwide away from holistic education. And this can have serious consequences on children in the San Francisco Schools. Richard Florida in The Flight of the Creative Class says, "What we really need in order to prepare our children for the creative economy is a comprehensive education. Something that takes them from aesthetics to algebra without pretending that the two are mutually exclusive." Aha! Elliot W. Eisner, professor of education and art, Stanford University agrees. He states that "The arts are fundamental resources through which the...
