I mentioned before that my friend would like to set up an ecommerce store selling handcrafted costume jewelry. She asked me to help her with the store design. Well, I am only good with setting up a functional ecommerce site.

I went to view a few online retailers of costume jewelry and the one that catches my eye most is Holsted Jewelers. They sell designer costume jewelry and fashion jewelry sets at discount prices.

Even though I have no intention to shop for costume jewelry, I am impressed with the way that they present their items, which makes me feel comfortable browsing through. Still many customers say that these designer costume jewelry pieces are way more exquisite in real life than in photos!

If you are looking for designer costume jewelry, I think you should start your search here on Holsted Jewelers. I did not count how many items they have but I trust that you would be able to find just the right jewelry piece right here.

I recently read about Democratic Presidential nominee, Senator Barack Obama’s pledge to support jones act lawsuit, a Federal law that allows injured sea crew to seek compensation in the unfortunate event of personal injury while at sea, as a result of negligence on their employer’s part.

If you have read my past few posts on personal injury, you would have read about the importance to consult with an experienced attorney, in this case, an experienced maritime attorney, if an accident happens due to an employer’s negligence.

I feel that a victim should always know his rights and where he stands in a case. If you require the services of a maritime attorney, you may want to contact Mark & Associates, P.C., a law firm in the United States who have successfully represented injured seamen to seek their rightful financial compensation.

Some of you may remember that my uncle is a pioneer in online education in the country. I feel kind of ashamed of myself that as the niece of an educationist, I did not manage to put myself through college. Luckily, technology has changed so much for people like me and opened so many more doors for us compared to people of an earlier generation.

It is way easier to get a degree now. Although I do not have the time or motivation to hit the books once again, I am happy that I have access to online universities if and when I decide to go back to school again and obtain a degree.

Many people get their degree online nowadays and I trust that one day, I too would do the same. As long as it’s an accredited university, the degree would be recognized and accepted worldwide.

Here’s some news. If you know of someone who requires the services of an Omaha Personal Injury Lawyer, you should direct him or her to Demerath Law Office. Larry R. Demerath is an experienced lawyer in personal injury and negligence and he is offering free consultation to those in need of such services. A fool proof case is very important and it determines the amount of compensation that the victim receives.

A consultation with Larry Demerath will show you your rights as a victim of negligence and what you could do to receive the compensation that you deserve. Larry Demerath was born and raised in Nebraska, so he knows the local ways.

Know anyone who is in need of such legal consultation? Make an appointment with Demerath. By the way, all cases will be handled professionally and confidentially.

I am looking for a case for my iPhone. You see, it’s almost a YEAR since I got my iPhone and it is still NAKED! At first, I did not buy any because I did not see any that I liked. Then I was too busy to shop. As you know, iPhone is not available here so I could only buy iPhone accessories online. My friend, a fellow iPhone owner, told me about SF Planet. She says there are many cute silicone cases which I may like enough to buy.

I saw a cheap mobile phone on SF Planet that I think would be a great Christmas gift for my dad. He dropped his in the toilet the other and it has not been the same again.

I am delighted to know that I could also at the same time buy MP3 player accessories. My cousin’s little daughter has asked her father to buy her an MP3 player and she has been bugging me to get her some accessories. I think this is a good opportunity to surprise her but I will only give these MP3 accessories to her this Christmas LOL!

So, which iPhone case should I get? Am I too old for Disney silicone cases or should I buy something more rugged?

When I visited PC Fair recently, I was actually a little amazed that they have improved so much particularly in the innovative ways they presented their products and using the latest demonstrations and advertising tools. I think they may have learned a thing or two from the larger PC Fairs in the capital cities.

Gone are the days when only tables and boards were used. Retailers now prefer banner stands to make their advertisement stand out and catch the attention of potential shoppers.

I am not very familiar with banner stands so I was delighted to see the use of many different kinds of banner stands from rollup banner stands to outdoor banner stands. Many retailers prefer to use roll up banner stands because they are very convenient and space saving. From my observation, roll up banner stands, also known as retractable banner stands, are the most popular among retailers.

I also remember seeing outdoor banner stands being used during the recent Full Throttle Autoshow. I would say, their large banners added color to the fast cars and beautiful ladies.

Off hand, I do not have photos to show of these banner stands though I remember taking quite a few shots of them during these fairs. If you would like to see the different designs of banner stands, you should check out Banner Stand Pros.

I was telling my cousin how I did not have time to read anymore since I discovered the internet. She said that, she on the other hand, has been reading more because living in London is so expensive, she tries to stay indoors as much as possible so reading has been her new hobby. She told me that she buys UK books. It’s convenient to shop online plus she gets huge savings as well.

I know of Borders but have never shopped with them but out of curiosity, since it was mentioned, I checked what they have. I am so delighted to know that they carry a range of banned books! You know, these are books that have been banned in the country when they were first published but Borders not only sell them, but sell them at up to 40% discount too!

In this list of banned books, I don’t deny that I have already read quite a few, including The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck, which I have to say, is a very good book, Flowers in the Attic by Virginia Andrews and Animal Farm by George Orwell.

However, one book that I have always wanted to read but could not find it in local stores so far and available now on Borders UK is Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. I really should read it to see why it has been banned in the first place. Curious here!
