			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As tax season is in full swing, there are a lot of people who are struggling to figure out how to pay their tax bill. Each year there is the normal amount of people who cheat on their taxes and this year is no exception. Those who have decided to fudge on their tax bills may be in for a surprise. The IRS has programs that will allow others to cash in on those who are caught cheating. </p>
<p>The IRS has a program that allows people who snitch to get a percentage of any money recovered. Some informants have made a lot of money by turning in their companies or business associates. Some people feel that they are doing the right thing by turning in those who cheat. See the IRS site for more information on this subject.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As U.S. forces are operating in Iran and Afghanistan, they are using the latest technologies. One item they really like is unmanned aerial vehicles otherwise known as “drone airplanes”. The planes are versatile and are put to use in many ways. They can show enemy positions and also deliver bombs if necessary. </p>
<p> The Air Force uses two main types of drones that include the MQ-9 Reaper and the MQ-1 Predator. They are currently operating about 40 drones and have plans to increase that number over the next several years. The images taken by the planes can give commanders a better understanding of the country and how it operates.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are a few times in life when you get to do something really special. I had this chance recently and I feel great about. It was for a program called birthday kids and it is special. The idea is that people buy birthday gifts for kids who may not get any otherwise. I liked the idea and immediately signed up. I started with one of my favorite sites for toys and its called loulouscorner.com.</p>
<p>I wanted to get something that I know every kid would love. That’s why the first thing I wanted to get was a stuffed animal from <a href="http://www.loulouscorner.com/">jellycat</a>. They have some of the best animals available and the quality is top-notch. Since most kids take their animals to bed with them, I thought that getting them a nice warm blanket would be a good idea. When I saw the blankets by <a href="http://www.loulouscorner.com/">barefoot dreams</a>, I knew I would have to have one of those as well.</p>
<p>Being as that I am also a practical person, I pondered the fact that many kids don’t have enough clothes to wear. I found some little shirts that were made by <a href="http://www.loulouscorner.com/">appaman</a> that would be a great gift for any toddler. I think I made some great gift choices and I can’t wait to hear about the kids who get to enjoy them. There are times when I am proud to help out a neighbor and this is one of those times!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a new strain of bacteria that is immune to nearly every antibiotic known to man. It is called Acinetobacter baumannii. This bacterium is known as Gram-negative due to its reaction to a Gram stain test. The bacteria can cause symptoms such as pneumonia and bloodstream and urinary tract infections. It is becoming more and more common in hospitals around the world. </p>
<p>To date, there is no treatment for the bacteria. Its cell structure makes it difficult to develop antibiotics for it. Thousands of people in many hospitals have succumbed to its effects and died. Some few people recover on their own, but that’s not very reliable. I hope that some company will look into this situation and develop a treatment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have to hand it to the Mexican government for cracking down on drug cartels. The have recently made dramatic inroads in the fight against these criminals and have made many high profile arrests. The problem is now these gangs are switching tactics and moving to other countries with weaker law enforcement. </p>
<p>Venezuela is now a favorite spot for these drug smugglers and business is good. Bolivia is also a safe haven for these cartels. The real problem seems to be the excessive demand for drugs in the U.S. I encourage every citizen to do their part in preventing drugs to reach our children. I hope that people realize that when they choose to take drugs, they are supporting death and destruction for others around the world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many good things about having a big family. One thing that I like is that there is always something going on. This week will mark a birthday for my niece’s baby. She will be one years old on Thursday. I knew I had to get her a gift and so I went online to find one. I turned to one of my favorite sites called shopwiki.com.</p>
<p>One of the first items that I thought would be good to get was one of those <a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Jogging+Strollers">Jogging Strollers</a>. I know how much fun it is to get out of the house and being able to take your baby along is pretty cool. It’s not always easy to find time to exercise and this is a great way to do it.</p>
<p>I continued to look around to see what else I could find. Another item I thought they could use was <a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Booster+Seats">Booster Seats</a>. I remember the tough time I had with my kids when they couldn’t reach the table. They come in handy especially when you go out to eat. Not every restaurant has them and it’s good to be prepared.</p>
<p>I was just about to put in my order when I ran across something else I liked. There was a wide variety of <a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Baby+Walkers">Baby Walkers</a> available and I thought I might get one of them. There is nothing like a good toy to keep baby busy for awhile and this is a great one. It also can help your child develop the skills they need to become good walkers. I know my niece will be thrilled when she gets this years presents!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One thing that we are constantly reminded of is our food. There are some things to be careful of and we must always remember to ask where our food is coming from and how it’s being prepared. Many foods are coated with pesticides and can be dangerous if they are not washed thoroughly in good clean water.</p>
<p>I feel that it’s best if we all try to take advantage of organic foods whenever possible. I believe it is a healthier way to eat and feed our families. There are great ways to grow food without dousing them with chemicals. I hope that everyone will keep this in mind when we visit the supermarket!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The news came in today about the increase in asking prices for homes across the nation. This is good news for everyone as it may mean that the housing bubble has hit bottom. A new survey found that while some cities have little change, others cities are doing well. I hope this trend will continue.</p>
<p>California has seen some of the biggest increases in new home prices. Inventory of homes for sale are slowly dropping causing higher demand for existing homes. This bodes well for the economy and the nation in general. I will keep my fingers crossed that this good news means that we are on the mend.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every once in awhile, you come across a really good book. Usually I like mysteries or action books, but this one was a little different. This book is called Surviving Mesothelioma and is all about a man named Paul Kraus. He was diagnosed with a disease called <a href="http://www.survivingmesothelioma.com/">Mesothelioma</a> and was given one year to live. Despite this discouraging news, he took steps to survive the disease and is still alive today.</p>
<p>The book was given to me by a friend and at first I wasn’t really sure about reading it. I’m glad I decided to give it a try. Mr. Kraus was exposed to asbestos and contracted <a href="http://www.survivingmesothelioma.com/">Mesothelioma Cancer</a>. This disease is very deadly and has taken many lives. I was inspired by his will to fight the disease and with the help of his family he has shown the world what he is made of.</p>
<p>The book not only tells the story of this brave man, it also has a wealth of information about the disease and ways to cope with it. Anyone with any type of cancer can take a few lessons from this book. In the end, I was glad to learn about <a href="http://www.survivingmesothelioma.com/">Mesothelioma</a> and those who survive it. I hope the next book I read will be as good as this one.</p>
