Getting nostalgic with high school reads

Guest post written by Cynthia Hankins

I thought that it was about the greatest thing ever when my kids found all of my old paperback books at my parents' house when we went and visited them over the holidays. My mom told them that it was okay for them to take all of those books because she obviously wasn't using them. At first, before I let them have them I looked through them in case there were embarrassing notes or anything like that in them, but they were okay.
One of the books that I really loved that was in there was Pride and Prejudice, which made me want to go online to put the movie version of it with Colin Firth in my Netflix queue. While I was online doing that I also came across a CLEARINTERNET online offer that sounded really great, so I decided to sign up for it and change over my internet service for it.
I also decided to reread Pride and Prejudice and it just got me into why always love Jane Austen's books so much.

Writer's Block and a Deadline

Everyone has something they are good at; I'm a writer.  I have been hired as a freelance writer on multiple occasions, to the benefit of both parties.  I have written many different types of custom writing for various clients, depending on their needs and my knowledge of the subject they need written about.  Sometimes, though, after a long while of not doing much on the writing front, my skills can get somewhat rusty.  Enter every writers nightmare: writer's block.  Sometimes inspiration can be difficult to come by so it's necessary to have several sources at hand to give a boost when needed.  If ever I get stuck on a particularly technical piece or with a subject I know little about, I can always get a professional to write my essay .  I can always turn to writers with advanced postgraduate degrees and professional business experience to help me get a paper that I can use as a source for my work.  It's nice to know that I don't have to worry about anyone else havi

Yandex Web Browser

On my Windows 7 computer, the one I work from, I need a good, fast reliable browser as part of my workflow.  I recently got rid of one that I really loved for a while, called Torch Browser .  Torch has a lot of great extras, such as music and video players, torrent downloader, facelift for facebook; basically it's great for play.  Don't get me wrong, it was great but my focus on this computer is productivity and I need a web browser to match.  I like using Chrome based browsers as well as Firefox, but I hate having Google involved in everything (like this blog *grumble*) so I go for alternative browsers based on Chrome, minus the Google.  (Sorry, Google dear, but you brought this on yourself)  I was a rabid fan of Opera prior to what I like to call the Operocalypse, where Opera gave up everything that made it stand out from the rest (and made it the best) to yet another Chrome clone.  I have it, out of habit, but only use it on my most secure sites; it sits idle 90% of the time
