Is Traffic School the Same as Driver's Education?

There is a difference between drivers education and traffic school. Drivers education is a course offered to those people who are getting their license for the first time. Traffic school is a class, usually four or eight hours, offered to current drivers that have recently broken a traffic law or were at fault in a vehicular accident. In many cases traffic school is attended on a voluntary basis, but it can also be court ordered by a judge depending on the severity of the offense.

If you have been cited with a moving violation that does not involve alcohol or drugs and have not been ordered to appear in court, you are usually eligible for traffic school. Many people choose to attend traffic school to avoid increasing insurance premiums or to remove the citation, or points, from their driving record. Many times, people who are cited for speeding, running red lights, or failure to yield are the most common attendees of traffic school.

Depending on your state and your driving record, you may or may not be able to use traffic school to remove the citation or points from your license. In order to be sure of your states laws, you should check with your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). You can also read the back of your citation or ticket for information regarding traffic school in your area. In almost every state, you will be limited to attending traffic school not more than five times in your lifetime, unless ordered by a court.

Today, there are many private agencies that provide traffic school. Typically, these will only take one day of attendance and your certificate of completion will be given to you or shipped directly to the county in which you received the citation. Attendance in traffic school will also reduce the amount of your ticket in some states as well.

Banff & Lake Louise, Canadian Rocky Mountain Jewel

One of the most beloved travel destinations in Canada is the Banff and Lake Louise area located in the province of Alberta. The town of Banff is 90 minutes (75 miles) west of Calgary and is within the Banff National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. One can see the Rocky Mountains from Calgary since the Banff area is at the eastern edge of the Canadian Rocky Mountain range. It is also one of the most visited areas in Canada all year round since the rugged beauty of the mountains and the protected wilderness draws tourists from around the world. During the winter, the three local resorts of Sunshine Village, Norquay Mystic Ridge and Lake Louise offer some of the best snow skiing around.

There are numerous shops, restaurants and small to mid-sized hotels in the town of Banff which is why the majority of travelers use it as the base during their stays. The town itself is small enough to walk around in since large scale development is limited since Banff is located within a national park. As a result, the town of Canmore just outside the national park boundary has become a recent spot of development. This offers tourists with rental cars another choice for accommodations. There is a complete range of accommodations from budget motels to the ritzy and majestic Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel overlooking the nearby valley. Many hotels have views of the mountain ranges and I can personally claim that there is something very magical about waking up and seeing a snow capped peak first thing in the morning, particularly during the non-winter season.

Like the choice of accommodations, the range of dining opportunities covers the entire spectrum as well. Travelers can dine at the most fancy eating establishments or buy their own groceries at the local grocer. One thing for beef lovers is not to miss the Alberta prime rib here which is a local specialty. It practically melts in your mouth. Some restaurants serve very generous 24 ounce (or higher) portions called mountain cuts for those who think they can eat it all.

There are numerous activities during the non-winter seasons including hiking, horseback riding, fishing, golf and a hot springs spa heated naturally by the mountain. The wonderful mountain scenery just makes these activities seem that much more special here. Imagine golfing with views of mountains in the background and glimpses of elk. Of course, the winters have the skiing and snowboarding but there are other winter activities such as dog sledding and snowmobile tours. For skiers and boarders, there is a very good bus shuttle system set up which picks skiers up at various locations around town and transports them to any of the three ski resorts mentioned earlier. Some shuttle stops are right outside of the many hotels so for many, it can be door to slope and return service. Most skiers opt to ski all three resorts during their stays.

Lake Louise is about 45 minutes (35 miles) further into the mountain range and home to one of the largest ski areas in North America. World class events are held here as well as a previous winter Olympics and the resort Lake Louise is serviced by the ski shuttle system from Banff. Even for non-skiers, a day trip to Lake Louise is a must. The largest hotel there, the Chateau Lake Louise, is right beside the beautiful Lake Louise itself. There is a glacier named Victoria Glacier which is nestled between snow capped mountains. During the winters, the lake is completely frozen and people can walk right across it. The hotel usually sets up a skating area on the lake. During the summers, one can still see some of the white snow capped peaks along with the glacier but what makes things really special is the lake itself too which is an emerald green color. On certain days and hours, the lake gives a stunning reflection of the mountain/glacier scene. This combination offers one of the most beautiful and photographed scenes in Canada. No motorized boats are allowed in the lake but there are canoe rentals available. Taking a canoe across the lake while seeing the glacier and mountain range is one of the most special, peaceful activities one can do.

The wildlife in the Banff and Lake Louise area is another attraction. There are wildlife spotting tours available but every time I have traveled to the area, I've seen deer and elk along the roads and highways. I've even seen them wander right into the front of the Banff Springs hotel. The road that leads up to the Norquay Mystic Ridge ski resort just outside of Banff is a golden spot for wildlife. On every drive up that particular road whether during the winter or summer, I have always seen curly horned mountain goats. Many are so used to cars that they would just move aside for vehicles to get by but would still stay on the roads. This makes great photo opportunities.

One thing to be careful of especially when hiking is the possibilities of bears. During the non-winter seasons, pay attention to the local rangers who give reports of bear sightings as it is not recommended to go on trails where bears have been recently.

Many world tourists think of Canada as a land of wonderful natural scenery and although the country is much more than that, the Banff and Lake Louise area is probably one of the best examples of Canadian natural beauty. It is a place that draws visitors, foreign and Canadians alike, back to the area like it does for me every few years.

How to Write a Review of an Online Video

Have you ever been asked to review an online video? Well if it is your first time it will not be easy. Sometimes when asked to do a review, they want your opinion, other times they want a comprehensive review, but no opinion, rather allow the reader of the review to decide.

It is not easy to write an online video review because you are taking something that is 3D and reducing it into words. Here is a sample online video review (w/opinion) that might help you understand how to write an online video review:

Interview Format

Ari and another gentleman were being interviewed by LawLine. The interviewer was interviewing both his son (David Shurman) and Ari. Ari is a former full-time practicing lawyer who always enjoyed the interesting information that he learned and interesting people he got to meet due to his profession, but not the paper work so much, there was always tons of it to go through and he did diligently. He recalls lamenting his days at work with his wife and telling her of the interesting people he got to meet each evening.

Topic

The interviews main theme was the increasing usage of Lawyers to use the Internet and informational marketing or rather using the Internet as a way to propel "expert status" using such technologies as Blogs, iPod Casting, SEO (search engine optimization) and writing articles. Both interviewees put forth various relevant strategies in this venue to help lawyers market their services better.

Indeed the interviewer (old school lawyer) was simply amazed at the potential and the new technologies and how this changed the game. One interesting example was a Chicago Law Firm that was able to capitalize on "Key Words" such as "I hurt my leg" in order to drive Internet Surfers to his website and then convert them to clients.

The Interview showed the importance to have Internet Presence and how this is the new paradigm and law firms must adapt in this new technologically changing environment. Other examples of future technologies were interwoven into the interview to demonstrate that the future is now, the train has left the station and law firms must move forward if they are to stay competitive.

Issues with that interview

Ari touched his face too much especially his ears. His body language suggested to me, that he was severely holding back his high energy and was being overly conciliatory to the other interviewee, who also happened to be the son of the interviewer. It seemed like Ari, was more qualified to discuss the issue, but had to pretend that the son of the interviewee was his equal, he was nothing of the sort. The son responded by several statements lending credibility to Ari and yet Ari, although playing it well, gave himself away as he knew he was well beyond the son's knowledge base.

What I Conclude:

It is problematic that lawyers have dominated every sector of the economy, bureaucracy, military, companies and everyday life in America, now they are training other lawyers how to take over the Internet. This is typical of the self-serving profession of law and how it provides little if any productivity and costs our economy trillions each year in exaserbated costs.

Interestingly enough as Lawyers begin to Blog they will hold themselves above the population in their content and sue anyone who disagrees with them. Thus will ruin yet another industry or sector. In this case the greatest communication system ever created in the history of mankind will be destroyed by lawyers, which have hijacked the Information Highway of the future. Now then the interview was valid in that these strategies can work for any type of business, consultant and therefore the panel discussion/slash interview was worth watching.

Ari Kaplan has the right patrician looks and would be much better in a single interview or with someone who is his equal, if someone can be found to promote various topics as an expert. He needs someone to interview him who is wise and can keep up. He is holding back his flow of information and his ability to speak at 165 words per minute. He needs more time to talk and someone who can guide the flow of his knowledge base in an interview. People could learn a lot from Ari. The question is only, is the world ready to discuss things at the higher level?

Massage, And The Way It Can Help Us To Relax- And Self Training

Massage may be defined, in part, as the application of pressure, or vibration to different parts of the bodys soft tissues.

Massage is a skill that can be learned and practiced by most people- the main ingredients in my view, being a desire to learn, as well as to give healing and relaxation to another.

The benefits of massage amongst others are that it can relieve pain, relieve stress, and aid in better circulation.

I will briefly discuss different aspects to massage in this article, and give you an insight into massage.

Massage is an art form that has roots dating back many thousands of years, and has developed into many types today, with recent new development like chair massage, which, as the name suggests, is given to people most typically in an office environment.

This type of massage is given to a person, fully clothed, where some types of massage are given to a person either totally naked, or more commonly, partially covered in the areas where they are not being massaged, both for comfort, warmth, and modesty, not to mention relaxation.

Massage is designed to relieve the built up tensions and stress that can affect many of us from time to time.

Some people literally thrive on stress, where others do well with some, and a few do not handle stress at all.

In all cases, massage can be very healing for just about everyone.

Massage has also been used to help treat many ailments, including pain management, fatigue, muscular problems, and general tension.

It is natural to expect that the training of the massage therapist will make a great deal of difference to the final result on the person being massaged.

Stress is something that is important to help reduce, as over many years, the build up of stress can cause muscle problems, and our bodys no longer functions as well as they could. In some cases, memory and overall health are affected, and it is always beneficial to receive regular massage therapy.

As I mentioned earlier, massage is something that can be learned by most people who are willing and committed to helping others.

The benefits of being able to give a great massage are numerous, including the ability to reduce a persons muscular pains, help a person to sleep better, increase a persons sense of health and well being, and detoxify muscles, to name just a few points.

Massage courses are available by accredited associations and instructors around the world, as well as online from various reputable vendors.

I can certainly speak from experience when I say that massage is a great way to help one relax, and is an art form that can be learned, and developed.

To your ongoing success.

Be the best you can be!

Metal Roofing 101

Today I received a phone call from a nationally published and recognized remodeling magazine in regards to their future article on metal roofing. It turns out that one of their editors tasked with writing an article about metal roofing decided to consult with me after looking at one of the metal roof guides on my metal roofing resource and information library.

Our conversation involve many different aspects of metal roofing and it was what prompted me to publish this metal roofing article, which will hopefully answer a lot of questions that you may have. I believe you will find this guide especially useful if you are considering a re roofing job.

First of all let's address some of the things that you probably already heard about before:

Metal Roofing costs significantly more than regular roofing. Answer to this question is both yes and no.

It turns out that although, initially you will probably pay higher amount for metal roofing than you would with regular roofing material, in the long run metal roofing will pay for itself making a it a no nonsense investment for somebody who is looking for longevity of their roof, its durability, great looks, and energy savings.

What happens is that the higher price you pay for metal roofing initially gets off set by the increased value of the house, or building where metal roofing is installed. In addition to the increased value of your home you will also gain the following benefits:

Long lasting Roof Hopefully you did your homework when selecting a metal roofing contractor, and you chose the knowledgeable and skillful metal roof installers performing the installation of your metal roof. Modern residential metal roofs come with up to 50 years material and labor warranty. Thus you can set it and forget it, figuratively speaking! Thin about how much money you will be saving considering that the average asphalt roof lasts only 17 years.

Beautiful Metal Roof We all love our homes, and with metal roofing our house can attain very desirable and sophisticated looks that could be the envy of the neighborhood! A great variety of metal roofing styles and choices will ensure that every homeowner can find something that they want in residential metal roofing.

Energy Savings Did you know that meta roof can greatly decrease your air conditioning bill during the hot months of summer? One of the significant benefits of metal roofing is that metal has sun reflectivity properties, which allow it to reflect the heat radiation away from your roof keeping your house cool and your energy bill low. That is just one of the ways that metal roof will pay for itself. After all, our monthly air conditioning costs can add up to a big chunk of money during the summer time.

Metal roof Government Tax credit Even the U.S government will provide you with a tax credit incentives if you install the approved select energy star rated metal roof.

Now information above is just common knowledge in regards to metal roofing. Hopefully it has cleared up and answered some of the general questions that you may have had.

Now going back to my todays conversation, I would like to talk about more in depths metal roofing concepts.

Many homeowners have heard about metal roofing before, but have very little idea as to what are the choices and options available to them.

So, I thought it would be a good idea to list three main metal roofing materials used in the industry, as well as touch up on the available metal roofing choices and styles.

Residential Metal Roofing Materials:

Steel: This is the most frequently used metal roofing material today. Steel offers a great degree of durability in metal roofing. It is usually protected by a layer of zinc and aluminum alloy, which protects it from rust and corrosion. Most commonly used steel shingles would be galvanized steel such as G-90, which is sprayed over with Kynar 500, or Hylar 5000.

This type of galvanized steel offers a great degree of protection from corrosion and is known to last over 30 years, in fact Tamko galvanized steel shingles, slates, and tiles come with 50 years material warranty, which shows a great confidence this manufacturer has in their product.

Galvalume steel is another common type of steel metal roofing, it is commonly used in standing seam metal roofing panels that go over many commercial and residential roofs.

Steel has deserved its good reputation as a metal roofing material of choice because of its excellent corrosion resistance and relative affordability.

Aluminum is another popular metal roofing material, which is corrosion resistant and is known to last over 50 years in professionally performed metal roofing applications. It is more expensive than steel, but it is very light weight and very popular among the homeowners.

Copper is perhaps the oldest type of metal roofing material that has been in use for a very long time and is known to last for over 70 years. In fact it is said that copper is getting better as it ages. Copper is highly expensive and that's why it is usually used in limited applications such as the the facial coverings of the windows. There are however complete copper roof systems that are available to be installed over residential properties. They come with a great premium, but there are people who want the best and are willing to pay for it.

Finally, keep in mind that even the best metal roofing system is worthless if it is not installed professionally, so make sure that you do your homework and carefully investigate the prospective metal roofing contractors in your area.

Good luck

The Benefits Of Drinking Herbal Teas

Herbal teas have long been known to have medicinal benefits as well as being tasty to drink! Some of my favorite teas are chamomile tea, jasmine tea and ginger tea. Each of these has a distinctive taste as well as health benefit.

Chamomile tea is a favorite herbal tea that many use if they have trouble sleeping. It has natural sedative, antiinflamatory and antispasmodic properties so is also good for cramps. Due to its calming benefits it is often used to help relieve anxiety. It is rich in essential oil and can help the digestive system function properly. Chamomile is also very good for your skin and you can wet a cloth in the tea and use it as a skin cleanser or compress.

Jasmine tea is a combination of green tea leaves and jasmine flowers. It has a lovely jasmine scent and flabor with all the wonderful antioxidant properties of the green tea. Jasmine tea has long been used for its relaxing and warming qualities and is also soothing to the digestive system. This tea also may help lower cholesterol according to recent studies and may even help with longevity.

Ginger tea has powerful medicinal properties. It is reputed to be a aphrodisiac and can help freshen your breath! It has anti fungal and anti spasmodic properties and can help sooth stomach upset by neutralizing acids and aiding digestion. Ginger is also reputed to help relieve nausea, motion sickness, dizziness, flatulence and even help to ease muscle pain.

To properly make herbal tea, use 1 tea bag per person or, if you are making it from the dried herbs, use 1 teaspoon of the herb. Add boiling water to the herb mixture and let sit for 5 minutes. Dont let it sit for too long or it will start to taste bitter. Dont drink it too soon or the herb wont have imparted its flavor into the water enough. Typically herbal teas are taken black but you could add a little milk or some sugar or honey to taste if you like.

Be Aware of Flying Dogs

For years I've been flying in a little Cessna nine passenger, two engine prop plane on Scallop Airlines from Lobster City to Haddock Island off the New England coast. Whenever I get to the island, I am met at the small terminal patio by Goldie, the golden retriever, the unofficial island airport greeter.

Tail wagging, hips swinging back and forth, mouth busy with kisses, she is an equal opportunity greeter. Everyone gets the same joyful greeting. She has to touch everyone, smell everyone, let them know they are welcome. As the passengers wait for their luggage to be unloaded, she makes sure they know she's there by schmoozing and sucking up to everyone.

After passengers get their luggage, she accompanies them to the front door where they are met by taxis, friends, relatives, or lovers. She is one of the great actresses of this generation. Stella Adler would have been proud.

But it is not the arriving passengers that she is most fond of. It is the departing passengers. Why? Because they may have food with them, or they may use the vending machines. She keeps a close eye on the vending machines. Not the soda or coffee machines, but the snack machine with the packages of candy, cookies, chips, cracker sandwiches, other kinds of goodies. If someone heads toward the snack machine, she dutifully follows. Then she waits. If they sit down to consume their snack, she sits and watches. Its an unblinking, uncompromising stare as the passengers eat. Occasionally shell raise a paw. She never barks. I have never heard her bark in all the years I have known her. Of course, little kids are easy targets because they have a habit of dropping their food. And they are always unusually generous. Feeding animals is instinctive with kids.

One day I was very early for my flight. I had nothing better to do so I headed for the vending machine. Goldie hung on my heels. I bought a package of potato chips. It came down the chute and went flying across the floor. Fool that I am, as I started to retrieve the bag, I inadvertently stepped on it. All over the carpeted floor went pieces of potato chips that Goldie quickly scooped up, dividing the cellophane wrapper from the food morsels.

She never forgets which people fed her in the past. While she was chomping on my chips, she looked up at me, smelled my denims and trainers. She never forgot who provided the banquet. Ever after whenever I entered or left the terminal she would follow me to see if I approached the vending machine.

Sometimes the Cessna had empty seats. One day I was the only passenger. I learned years ago that Goldie belonged to Danny, one of the pilots for the trunk airline, or more probably Danny belonged to Goldie. She usually made at least one trip a day from Haddock Island to Lobster City. It depended on whether there were empty seats going and coming.

In was in my first year of flying Scallop Air. I was heading back to Lobster City. Danny was the pilot. I boarded the plane and right behind me bounding up the steps was Goldie. She went up to the front and jumped into the co-pilots seat. Danny strapped her in. I was sitting behind Danny and diagonally across from Goldie.

Danny turned to me, I hope you dont mind if Goldie is the co-pilot for today, She loves to fly at least once a day, and I take her along if were not busy. She loves any vehicle that moves. Cars, boats, ski mobiles, planes.

I quickly assented. You never saw a more intent passenger than that dog. She loved looking out the window at the ocean below. I must say she never even glanced at the instruments. She flew by the seat of her pants. (Pants. Get it?) She loved the take-off and the landing.

When we got to Lobster City she stayed on the plane when I deplaned, ready for her return flight. Once in a while, Danny said, he would take her into the terminal, but the smell of hot dogs and pretzels was too enticing for her.

Danny told me that one elderly lady was shocked to see Goldie sitting in the co-pilots seat, but he reassured her. Dont worry. She has her pilots license.

I got into the habit of carrying dog biscuits to the airport whenever I took off or landed at Halibut Island. Id give her a biscuit, shed wag her tail wildly and give me a kiss.

Something I learned from Goldie and other dogs. They have no concept that human beings or other dogs for that matter take up space. When I enter the terminal for a departure, she will walk with me to see where I am going to sit. Before I have a chance to sit, shell jump up on the chair and wait for me to sit down. Where? Shes a big dog and takes up all the room. Am I supposed to sit on her non-existent lap?

At night, when I feel the call of nature and get up, my own dogs move over to where I have been lying and leave no room for me. They, of course, want me to come back and join them, but they leave no room.

I yell, Move over. But they dont get it. Dogs have no sense of spatial relationships. They arent as smart as some people think they are. Theyre smarter than we are in certain ways, but they are also incredibly dumb in other ways. I sometimes wonder if they have a sense of time since they give you the same greeting if youve been gone an hour that they give you when youve been gone a week.

They do get bored, and they are very unhappy when they are left alone. And you never know where their tongues have been, but I dont want to get into that. Im also sure that the smells they most enjoy when they are out walking are odors that their masters would be very turned off by.

Last week I went back to Halibut Island and there was Goldie at the airport ready to give me a big greeting. If she werent there, Id miss her. When Danny got out of the plane and entered the terminal, he said, Watch out. Goldie is studying for her pilots license, and next weekend shes going to fly solo.

If that day ever comes, I think Ill take the ferry boat to Halibut Island, and leave the flying to you. Go Goldie.
