    Think about a Holiday or Vacation swap this season!
    2008-07-07 12:15:45
    When I first heard about “home swap”, “holiday swap” the first thing came into my mind that it might be a new idea to save money and other hassles of journey and travel. But I was really surprised to know that, it’s been around for over 40 years. What is home swap/exchange or vacation/holiday swap? Home exchange [...]

    10 Tips to Avoid the Holiday Bulge and Inner Thoughts About Them
    2008-06-30 20:42:39
    Do you find it almost impossible to stay conscious and contentious about weight and nutrition during the holidays? Of course you do. More than half of all Americans are overweight. All American's are in this together.You can take heart from a new government study which shows most Americans gain about a pound over the holiday. You're not alone. The study shows that during the holiday period, for the people in the study, two main things influenced the holiday weight gain: level of hunger and level of activity. Those who reported being less active or more hungry had the greatest weight gain.If you can stay focused on dealing with just those two things, you'll probably win."An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of weight gain," according to Dr. Samuel Klein. He is Director of the Center for Human Nutrition as Washington University in St. Louis, MO. "Preventing the increase in weight is a lot easier and better than actually gaining weight and then trying to get it off again."The answer is

    South Carolina Legislature Overrides Vetoes of Carcass Credit, Gun Tax Holiday
    2008-06-29 23:00:00
    We're always on the lookout for strange tax policies, and South Carolina has recently supplied two. The South Carolina Legislature assembled on June 25 to reconsider several bills that had been vetoed by Gov. Mark Sanford. Here is the information from South Carolina's revenue website on two of the more interesting vetoes that were overridden by the Legislature: The $50 Venison Income Tax Credit: "Section 12‑6‑3750. (A) Beginning with the year 2008, there shall be allowed a nonrefundable credit against taxes imposed by this chapter for a meat packer, butcher, or processing plant licensed or permitted by this State or the United States Department of Agriculture that, during the tax year for which the credit is claimed, had a valid contract with any nonprofit organization to process deer for donation to any charitable organization engaged in distributing food to the needy.

    5 Holiday Weight Loss Tips & Their Reality Checks
    2008-06-24 19:21:45
    Do you find it almost impossible to stay conscious and contentious about weight and nutrition during the holidays? Of course you do. More than half of all Americans are overweight: You're not alone.A new government study might give you a ray of hope though: The study shows that Americans gain only about one pound over the holidays. The study found that people participating were influenced by two main factors over the holidays: The level of their hunger, and the level of their activity. In other words: Those who reported being less active or more hungry during the holidays had the greatest weight gain.So common sense says: If you can stay focused on dealing with just those two things, you'll probably win your personal holiday weight loss battle.

    McCain Still Pushing For Gas Tax Holiday
    2008-06-19 23:53:38
    You'd think that considering how well that worked for Obama's last opponent he'd have dropped the subject by now.From CNN:McCain resurrects call for gas tax holidayWASHINGTON (CNN) – With gas prices reaching a national average of four dollars a gallon — a record high — John McCain is planning to resurrect his call for a national gas tax holiday, which became a staple of his stump speech in late April and early May. A McCain aide told CNN's Dana Bash on Monday that the Arizona senator planned to plug the gas tax holiday in public statements throughout the day as a message to voters that he understands the plight of working families in a tough economy. Before a fundraiser in Richmond, Virginia on Monday, McCain mentioned the gas tax holiday in remarks to a smaller event for about 40 high-dollar donors. "That was derided by Sen. Obama and others as a gimmick," McCain said, but added that working people and truckers would appreciate it. "I don't pretend that it's an answer to our ene

Of course this is possible simply through the magic of the internet which opens up a world previously dominated by travel agents.What you can miss when you 'do your own thing' is the expertise and local knowledge that is provided as a matter of course through local agents of the travel company. The internet once again can bridge this gap through the prominence of on-line travel guide and advice. It is important to gather as much information about your destination to make sure that you are not missing out on hidden treasures. Both online and hard-copy travel guides are an invaluable source for intrepid holiday makers forging their own way around the world.

    Rothman says McCain's gas-tax holiday proposal is a gimmick
    2008-06-13 13:46:00
    U.S. Sen and presidential candidate John McCain, in defending his gas tax holiday gimmick by saying that the "gas tax goes to projects that are unnecessary and unwanted," showed just how out of touch he was with the people of New Jersey, who are spending more time stuck in traffic and less with their families. John McCain's plan would cost New Jersey $190 million and over 6,600 jobs, which are both necessary and wanted.At best, eliminating the federal gas tax would result in a savings of about $28 total for the average American motorist for a four-month tax holiday. However, it is more likely that the big oil companies will not pass along those savings to their customers.U.S. Rep. Steve Rothman issued the following statement about McCain's support for a gas tax gimmick:"By now, John McCain should have gotten the message that eliminating the federal gas tax will do little to nothing to reduce the price of gas for American families, but will instead endanger one source of funds Jerseyan

    Holiday Weight Loss - Thanksgiving and Christmas Don’t Have To Ruin Your New Year
    2008-06-11 18:36:47
    For many people, trying to diet during the holidays is like trying to find the perfect Christmas gift for Aunt Edna: almost impossible. No diet pill or weight loss program can overcome the irresistible draw of fudge, eggnog and candy canes. So what’s a weight watcher to do? Is there any hope for holiday weight loss, or are we destined to add some more pounds before the inevitable New Years resolution?Conventional wisdom is that most people gain from five to ten pounds of fat during the holidays. Happily, that much at least appears to be false. However, Americans do tend to gain some weight during this time of year: “Previous studies suggested that Americans gain an average of 0.4 to 1.8 pounds each year during their adult lives” (source: nichd.nih.gov). What’s alarming is that although we’re putting on fewer pounds during the holidays than we had previously thought we’re not taking that extra weight back off.“Researchers now say they have some good news for us -- and some

The study, published in the Journal Of Travel Medicine in 2005, was conducted by Austrian researchers and identified characteristics that predicted the psychological health outcomes of the annual holiday.One hundred and ninety one, mainly white-collar workers, were administered a questionnaire one week after completion of their annual vacation, evaluating five broad areas, including: physical characteristics of the holiday (eg, duration, distance travelled to reach destination, time z

    Holiday in Capri, Italy
    2008-06-01 03:23:00
    Having a holiday in Capri could be an extraordinary experience.For you who are not aware, only in the eighteen hundreds the name “Capri” at Italy began to become known in the rest of the world. Initially it owed its fame to its strategic position for the control of Southern Italy and as the territory of bitter fighting between the French of Napoleon’s Empire, who had succeeded the Bourbons, and the British.It was in this period that numerous Forts along the Island perimeters were built, seriously compromising the Roman ruins which had managed to survived until that time. Some years later, Capri’s fame increased with the growing interest in travel, which brought to the island the first of a long stream of foreign visitors.Capri became a place where to dedicate oneself to otium and the art of hospitality. The new spirit of the population was largely consequence of the closure of the convents, the abolition of the bishopric, declared by Ferdinando IV in 1815 on his returned to Na

    Tips for Smart Holiday Shopping Online

    Going online to shop for the holidays this year? Some of us do it to avoid crowds, some to save gas, and some for the convenience of shopping at any time of day or night. Experts are predicting that consumers will spend more online this holiday season than ever. In fact, a recent Forrester study reports that 11 percent of online shoppers said they would do three-quarters or more of their holiday spending online, translating to an estimated $33 billion in 2007, up from $27 billion in 2006.To reduce the risk of a rip-off — and to protect your personal information and your computer from identity thieves and hackers — the FTC and NCSA offer these tips for safer and smarter online shopping this holiday season:Check out the seller. If you’re thinking about shopping on a site with which you’re not familiar, do some independent research before you buy. * If it’s your first time on an unfamiliar site, call the seller’s phone number, so you know you can reach them if you need to.

First we saw it walking along the road and then by a tree watching the deer as they were coming close,'' said one of the visitor to Ranthambore.''I gather about 35 tigers here and we were just lucky, it was so close to the lorry that I am glad it had it's breakfast,'' said another visitor.Safaris at the break of dawn, and a drive through the jungle at dusk are among few exciting Ranthanbore offers.Between an open gypsy and canters, people vacationing in a large gro

    OWNING YOUR OWN HOLIDAY HOME
    2008-05-13 10:41:00
    One of my lifelong plans is to one day own my own holiday home. Whether it be somewhere abroad or somewhere in the UK.I know there are some beautiful lodges for sale and other holiday homes that would suit me just fine.It would be so nice to come away from your normal surroundings, and be in a place that's yours and not somewhere where your renting it.You can get loads in some great seaside, lake and countryside locations.I saw some great ones on the Southlakeland Parks site, which you could probably get for as little as £5,000.The thing that would make me want a holiday home the most is the fact that you don't have to go booking your accommodation beforehand.You could just up and leave! Like a spur of the moment thing!Especially if you have kid's you need to take the chance while you can get it, as sometimes things are hard to plan in advance.I always think if you are going to be going on holiday there anyway, why not save yourself some money in the long run by having a place as your

    Virginia Preps for Hurricane Supplies Tax Holiday
    2008-05-11 23:00:00
    Prepared for the "Hurricane Preparedness Sales Tax Holiday" in Virginia? From May 25 to May 31 only, sales tax will be waived on various hurricane preparedness equipment, and the Virginia Tax Commissioner has issued a 5,000-word advisory notice detailing every aspect of how retailers should do such sales during the holiday. (Title of the press release: "Prepare for the Hurricane Season by Shopping for Tax-Exempt Generators, Supplies," just under "Tax Relief Granted for Victims of Tornadoes!").Advising people to prepare for hurricanes and gather necessary supplies is a good thing. But there's probably a better way to do it than the administrative mess associated with blanket temporary tax holidays. Will a poor family that couldn't afford an emergency generator now rush to buy one (within the allotted time period and after reviewing the list of eligible items)? Or will this tax holiday simply shift the purchases already being made, while enabling officials t

    Gas tax holiday a slick piece of propaganda
    2008-05-06 08:36:24
    Looks like we're getting better at seeing through election-year propaganda. A CBS News/New York Times poll released yesterday said 49% of those polled thought the holiday a bad idea, 45% thought the tax a good idea, with 4% undecided.Today's Boston Globe reports that SUV sales for April alone fell more than 32%, while sale of small cars increased 16%.Seems like the high gas prices are forcing us to do what we should do, anyway: drive less, conserve what we have, and use public transportation. Has the tide turned about gas-guzzling cars, or will we go right back to our old ways if-- a very BIG if-- gas prices go down?Atom

    Federal Gas Tax Holiday Wouldn't Apply to Nevada, California, Oklahoma and Tennessee
    2008-05-05 23:00:00
    Even if the federal gas tax holiday was implemented, it would not apply (fully) to gasoline sold in four states. That's because California, Nevada, Oklahoma, and Tennessee each has a provision in the state's tax law which states that if the federal gas tax is lowered, that state's own gas tax will increase by some amount. This is theoretically designed to maintain transportation spending in the state.Here is a link to a Taxadmin.org page citing the provisions of the four states. Here's California's:If the federal fuel tax is reduced below the rate of nine cents ($0.09) per gallon and federal financial allocations to this state for highway and exclusive public mass transit guideway purposes are reduced or eliminated correspondingly, the tax rate imposed by this section, on and after the date of the reduction, shall be increased by an amount so that the combined state and federal tax rate per gallon equals the following: (1) Twenty-three cents ($0.23) during 1990, on and after Augus

    An Even Worse Gas Tax Holiday Method Proposed in Missouri
    2008-05-04 23:00:00
    As far as temporary gas tax holidays go, the Tax Foundation's position has long been that they're all bad. But even within gas tax holidays, there are bad and worse. And this one being suggested in the Missouri legislature is the worst.You could get a break at the gas pumps in Missouri this summer if a bill gets the approval of the Legislature and the governor. It would lift the state’s gasoline tax for the summer – in a way.The state’s gas tax is 17 cents on every gallon. If the bill becomes law, however, it wouldn’t mean 17 cents would drop off the prices at the pumps.Gas prices are getting harder and harder to handle. In the Springfield area, regular unleaded was around $3.37 a gallon on Thursday. So word of a price cut has drivers excited.“I think that's a fantastic idea! Anything that would cut gas prices down a little bit for us would be a great idea,” said one person.The Missouri House gave initial approval to the measure, which woul

    Gas Tax Holiday
    2008-05-04 18:02:45
    Is the gas tax holiday a realistic proposal or is it just political pandering? FactCheck.org does a great job of analyzing it and showing that it is not a good idea. It seems that most, if not all, economic experts feel the suspension of the gas tax for the summer is a questionable proposal. If this isn't political pandering, then it means that Hillary Clinton and John McCain feel they know better than the experts or have economic advisers that may not be giving good advice. Either scenario is not a good one. We don't need another President who believes he or she has good instincts and surrounds themselves with cronies who give bad advice. Of course, the gas tax holiday most likely is political pandering. It is nothing more than an attempt to buy votes for the possibility of a few dollars a week during the summer. The sad part is that most likely it will work. Political pandering is just like negative campaigning, we say we don't like it, but it usually is eff

    Cruise Holiday Planning Tips Ideas and Guide
    2008-05-04 13:35:18
    Are you planning a holiday of a lifetime aboard a ship? There are a number of questions to ask yourself and perhaps some of the answers below will help you to plan your perfect holiday. The first question you need to ask is who you're going to take with you. Is a romantic holiday or one that you want to open up to family and friends. It used to be the case that children and cruises didn't mix but you'll find ships that have wonderful carers and activities organised for children of all ages. This gives them a fantastic time and leaves you free to spend the time however you wish. You need to decide on your budget. Cruising is historically not a cheap alternative but, having said that, there is a lot of competition around and now is probably an ideal time to get real value for money. Remember that there is a big choice of cabin from the most expensive with balconies and a separate lounge through to the inner bowels of the ship (not good if you suffer from claustrophobia or sea sickness).

    Distributional Effects of Gas Tax Holiday

    Using data on who owns shares in U.S. oil companies combined with household financial data in the Survey of Consumer Finances, the Tax Foundation has done a distributional analysis of the proposed gas tax holiday and windfall profits taxes. Note that the report shows how the estimated savings from a gas tax holiday under both assumptions: (1) that the tax cut is merely capitalized into higher prices for gasoline (the economists' consensus) and (2) that the tax cut is fully passed forward to consumers.Here is what the table looks like for a gas tax holiday that is not passed onto consumers (or equivalently a windfall profits tax on oil companies).Average Tax Savings Per Familiy from Proposed Policies:Income QuintileWindfall Profits Tax Burden per Family (Short-Run)Gas Tax Holiday Savings (Economists' Assumption)Bottom 20%$6 $6 Second 20%$10 $10 Middle 20%$24 $24 Fourth 20%$48 $48 80-90%$68 $68 Top 10%$558 $558 Sources and notes: See full paper.Note that these tables and those in th

    Clinton-McCain Tax Holiday
    2008-04-29 02:09:22
    As Clinton Seeks Gas Tax Break for Summer, Obama Says No - New York Times Mr. Obama's view is shared by environmentalists and many independent energy analysts, his position allowed Mrs. Clinton to draw a contrast with her opponent in appealing to the hard-hit middle-class families and older Americans who have proven to be the bedrock of her support. She has accused Mr. Obama of being out of touch with ordinary Americans who are struggling to meet their mortgages and gas up their cars and trucks.While I'm a little disturbed that the White House agrees with Barack Obama, I'm more concerned (if not the least bit surprised) that McCain and Clinton have the same plan. It shouldn't come as a shock that the two campaigners rapidly developing reputations for doing anything to win votes would support a gas tax holiday.Most experts agree that the holiday would save the average American almost nothing, while costing America as a whole millions of dollars, and possibly thousands of jobs.

    Editorial Criticizes Illinois Tax Holiday Plan
    2008-04-27 23:00:00
    As Senators Obama and McCain spar over whether a temporary gas tax suspension is a "solution" or a "scheme," the Bloomington Pantagraph has an editorial pointing out the often-ignored problems with temporary tax suspensions:Members of the Illinois Senate seemed to be thinking more about their own re-elections rather than the state's finances - or even the public's finances - when they approved a 10-day "back-to-school" tax holiday.[...]For the most part, these are items that would have been purchased anyway, so it will not be generating additional sales.Retailers are unlikely to add employees for the 10-day period that wouldn't have been added or given extra working hours for the back-to-school rush anyway.In fact, by concentrating purchases in a 10-day period rather than spreading them out, it could have the opposite effect - resulting in reduced working hours for employees if shopping volume drops considerably after the "holiday" ends.[...]When

    Holiday Shopping
    2008-04-25 04:04:12
    A little old lady went to the grocery store and put the most expensive cat food in her basket. She then went to the check out counter where she told the check out girl. "Nothing but the best for my little kitten on Christmas." The girl at the cash register said, "I'm sorry, but we cannot sell you cat food without proof that you have a cat. A lot of old people buy cat food to eat, and the management wants proof that you are buying the cat food for your cat." The little old lady went home, picked up her cat and brought it back to the store. They sold her the cat food. The next day, the old lady went to the store and bought 12 of the most expensive dog cookies - one for each day of Christmas. The cashier this time demanded proof that she now had a dog, claiming that old people sometimes eat dog food. Frustrated she went home, came back and brought in her dog. She was then given the dog cookies. The next day she brought in a box with a hole in the lid. The little old lady asked the cashie
