Ok, for the last several days,I have been running a sponsorship of this site from CRISS ANGEL Believe. It’s about time I talk a little bit about the Criss Angel’s new Cirque du Soleil performance.

If you are not familiar with Criss Angel then you have probably been living in a cave. I first saw him on Larry King. I was just amazed at how he could perform both the simple and complicated magical illusions with ease.

When listening to him, I sensed that he was a nice guy who could do some of the most wonderful things. He differs from past illusionists like Houdini in that he has much more technology to work with. This means that the illusions can be much more grand and intricate while at the same time working with the simple assumptions that we all make.

It’s nice to see that he has a show in Las Vegas at the Luxor Hotel as part of the Cirque Du Soleil. I know that when we make it down to Vegas next time, we will be taking in his show. I think his performances are going to become one of the must see events of Vegas, kind of the like the Wayne Newton of years past.

If you are interested in winning tickets to see Criss Angel, you can get the chance to win tickets to his show. Just, text ‘Believe’ to 22122 to win 2 tickets to CRISS ANGEL Believe. Sounds like a great way to see him!

Freedom is a special thing. It’s a special thing to know that our freedom is something that can’t be bought, right? Maybe so, but unfortunately it seems that as technology increases, our freedom and our liberty is decreasing.

I like Twitter and I use it often, but it cuts a double edged sword. I give up a little of my personal privacy for the ability to leave updates to my friends and family. I also give up a little of the freedom I have to speak my mind. It easy for anyone to use search engines and found out exactly what you think and your opinions and then use them against you.

And there goes your freedom….

After doing a lot of thinking certification opportunities that exist out there in the IT industry, I have decided that maybe I should get the ball rolling and get out there and get a new IT certification. I think it’s just about time that I take the bull by horns and practice what I have been preaching.

Today, I began to seriously look into Cisco certification. I know it might be a difficult certification for me to get, but it will be a very valuable certification that will pay dividends in the form of a better job. Just the credibility alone of a decent certification will be worth its weight in gold. It will be the perfect complement to my existing IT skills and expertise.

Normally, when I look into certifications and how I can teach myself the material that is taught in them. This works well for software, but since the Cisco certification is about the hardware, I will not be able to just sit at the computer and play around with it until it gets working. Nope, I am going to need to find a training program that goes along with the certification program.

Naturally, I am excited about this. I know that I will be able to keep working as a consultant(with an expanded level of expertise) or I can even take on contract employment to implement and manage Cisco routers and systems. I guess this is what has got me salivating right now. I am really looking forward to the opportunities.

Continuing my work to help my former ESL students, I am posting a second profile that I have written up about a famous scientist. This is one is about Albert Einstein. I think it’s quite informative and easy to read.

Albert Einstein was a great scientist. He was born on March 14th, 1879 in Wurrtenberg, Germany. He studied physics and mathematics at the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School.

Albert Einstein had many great achievements. He is famous for his general theory of relativity. His study of atomic theory led to E= MC2. He also did much work in the Brownian movements. He made many discoveries in molecular dimensions. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics.

Albert Einstein was a peace activist. He advocated World government and peace through discussions in the World Government movement. He cared about people and effects that science had on them. He had a strong determination to solve problems and seek answers. He was dedicated to science and appreciated intellectual solitude where he did most of his work.

Albert Einstein married Mileva Maric in 1903. They had 2 sons and 1 daughter. Albert Einstein died on April 19th, 1955 in Princeton, New Jersey.

It’s been a long time since I wrote a science articles. It’s also been a while since I wrote personal profile. To get back into the swing of things, I have decided to put up a couple of quick profiles I wrote about scientists. Here is one on Galileo. Bear with me since they are designed for ESL students.

Galileo Galilei was a great scientist. He was born on February 18th, 1564 in Tuscany, Pisa, Italy. He studied at the University of Pisa. His father was Vicencio Galilei and helped him in his early studies. Galileo Galielei died on Jan 8th, 1642 in prison.

Galileo Galilei had many great achievements. He is famous for discovering the Law of Inertia. He advanced the Copernicus Theory that says the Earth revolves around the sun. It had been accepted that the Earth was the center of the Universe. He also discovered moons around Jupiter and Saturn. He was the inventor of the telescope.

Galileo Galilei was a curious person and it lead him to many discoveries. He was intellectually honest. His strong determination means that he never gave up his studies. He withstood much persecution from the Catholic Church for his beliefs. Through it all, he became a successful man who is revered by many scientists.

I remember when our family first went to Disneyland. My dad didn’t want us to drive to Anaheim in our old car, so he decided that the cheapest way for us to go was in a car rental. It worked out great. It was a real fun trip and it began a tradition for my family. Whenever a long trip vacation was planned, we would rent a car.

With summer time in full swing, it’s time to start thinking about road trip vacations once again. Advantage Rent A Car is offering some great rates and several car rental specials, depending on where you rent. They’ve even got one special where you can save up to 50% on a luxury or convertible car rental. Sounds pretty good.
