Credit Cards and Your Business
Any business will cringe at the thought of what the banks put them through to use credit cards. If you do not know what I mean, then this article is for you!The fact is that everyone online wants to use a credit card or debit card to process their order. It is very true in our society that the credit card is a way of life, and if you do not offer that ability to accommodate them, customers will move on to another website that does allow them to use their cards. This society has become driven by instant gratification and expects to receive their products immediately, either by a download or a short shipping duration. Taking credit cards as a form of payment on the internet or offline should be...

8 Dumb Things to NOT DO on the Job During the...
If you work in one of the majority of offices that sees extremely slow business and low productivity during the holiday season, it can be mighty tempting to 'make use' of all that downtime. But if you want to end up the year in good standing and shine in the new year, here are eight dumb things to not do while on the job during the holidays:1. Shop online: this might be the biggest temptation of them all. Maybe you have a much faster connection at work than at home and figure you'll get your shopping done so much more quickly if you sneak it in between small projects or meetings at work. Don't do it!2. Catch up with old friends via email or phone: probably the next biggest temptation you'll have...
Over 1000km long and trapped between the Pacific and the Andes this harsh and arid land is one of the most inhospitable places on earth. The days can be burning hot and the nights freezing; precipitation levels are so low that no rain fall has ever been recorded in some areas. It might not sound like a tempting place to visit, but a land of such extremes can't fail to impress.The absence of life and the wind-sculpted rocks give many of the landscapes an eerie Martian or lunar appearance. NASA have even used the area to test their autonomous vehicles designed for the exploration of other planets.It is also the unlikely setting for a wealth of human history and culture. The museum in San Pedro has a...
Any valid drivers license from any state is valid anywhere in Mexico. However both a temporary vehicle importation permit and a promise to return the vehicle form are required for travel deeper than 15 miles into the country. Permits are not required in the Baja California Peninsula as long as the vehicle is not taken into the mainland. And if you exceed the return date indicated on the form the vehicle is subject to confiscation. US automobile insurance is not valid within Mexico. Alhough having Mexican auto insurance is not a pre-requisite to getting the import forms we recommend it.In lieu of Mexican insurance you will need to demonstrate solvency in the event of an accident. A Mexican...
The Flag of Mexico is rich with historic symbolism. The tricolors of green, white and red with the coat-of-arms centered in the white middle stripe were adopted by Mexico following their independence from Spain during the War of Independence in 1821.There have been changes to the flag during history but the coat of arms has always featured a majestic eagle holding a serpent on top of a cactus. The current coat of arms was designed in 1968 by Helguera. Legend says that the Aztecs, then a nomadic tribe wandering throughout Mexico, were waiting for a sign from the gods telling them were to build their capital city. Their god, Huitzilopochtli told them to search until they found a place where they saw...

The History of Valentine's Day
Love has many different meanings in every single language but there is a universal traditional day when people express their inner feelings for each other, either love or friendship. Valentine's Day was coined as the exchange day for those with these naturally feelings for others, throughout all cultures.The origins of Valentine's day are traced back to the Medieval era associated with the Catholic Church feast day, but love and fertility nexus with this particular date falling on February 14 comes from the ancient times of Greece, when the Athens calendar included a period between mid January and mid February called the Gamelion, a month dedicated to the sacred marriage of Zeus and Hera, hence...
How to Shop In Mexico
Unless you speak fluent Spanish and know how to haggle, if you are an American you will automatically pay more for trinkets, jewelry, etc. Sad but true. I've learned through experience that when I am shopping in the second hand stores, unless I know the owners, I take a Mexican friend with me to negotiate for what I want. Once I've selected the item, I leave the store as if I was disinterestedly browsing and leave my friend up to the haggling.The same holds true for shopping in the tourist areas. Most of the shop owners here in Ensenada will haggle a bit even with their countrymen, but in the First Avenue (Calle Primera) shops, the prices are high anyway because it is THE tourist place...
Living in Mexico: The Effects of Tourism
Have you ever wondered if mass tourism actually spoils the very thing it comes to observe in a foreign country? I've been wondering this a lot lately. Does the onslaught of tourists flooding into a particular place to enjoy what that place has to offer end up becoming the source of that place's ruination?This is both confusing and, of course, a bit hypocritical of me, a travel writer, to even suggest. It has, however, been on my mind.More than once, I've met or corresponded with those who have visited my adopted home of Guanajuato because of the articles my wife and I write. Based on our first two books, one couple attributes their moving to Guanajuato to us. So, in a very real sense I am a source...
Mexico's Unknowns
Mexico... The place to party. It's the perfect destination to relax on the beach, barter with locals, drink tequila, and get a tan. For the most part, Mexico is considered a fairly safe place to visit if you will be in the safety of an all inclusive resort. This was the attitude of Pamela Woods, just 3 months ago, on her trip to Mexico which was drastically different than she expected.I dont want to be costing the resort all kinds of money and give them a bad reputation, so I will keep the name of the resort confidential. But what I will tell you is the story of Pamela Woods.Pam is a family girl, as she is married to a nice doctor, and has 2 wonderful daughters. Her life went in a spin 3 months ago...

The history of chocolate doesn't mention the delicious confectionery's source until the ancient Mayan and Aztec cultures came upon and recognized the value of the cacao plant. Chocolate makers used the products of the plant for currency and units of calculation. The first cocoa plantations were said to have been in northern South America where the Mayans migrated in about 600 AD.Christopher Columbus reportedly brought the valuable beans back to King Ferdinand after his fourth visit to the New World. These beans and their value were overlooked at the time in the shadow of numerous other treasures Columbus had found.The first notable recognition of chocolate was when Spanish explorer Hernando Cortez...

Acura TL 2005: The Weekly Driver Review
Drivers have more stress during the holidays, alcohol consumption increases and patience in busy traffic can quickly wane.A 200-mile roundtrip, therefore, is a less-than-ideal way to spent part of Thanksgiving. It's potentially more problematic knowing the crowded, late-night return trip could include a stretch of interstate infamous for its thick, late-night fog.But visiting family outweighs the inconveniences of potential driving hassles. And if the journey is made in a vehicle with a commanding and secure road presence, such concerns are sufficiently eased.So it was during my weekly test drive of the 2005 Acura TL. The vehicle was successful for several years, but Acura redesigned...

Real Estate Investing In Mexico
Mexico is CHEAP! But its getting more expensive. As property values rise, especially in resort areas, investors wonder how they can profit from this.Compared to major US cities, Mexico is still very very cheap. But compared to 5, 10, or more years ago, values have really risen.There are some particulars to pay attention to with Mexican property purchases. For instance, Mexico forbids foreigners from owning land in resort areas. This is worked around by shares in a development, partnerships, or strata arrangements.Foreign ownership is limited only in the "restricted zone," land located within 100 km of the Mexican borders, and within 50 km of the coastline.Instead, a real estate trust must be set...
Holidays in the Caribbean
Chances are, you haven't heard of Peppercorn Day. A holiday in Bermuda, Peppercorn Day may be the oddest holiday in the Caribbean. Its history dates to 1797 when a group of Freemasons began renting the Old State House in St. George, for the sum of one peppercorn. In 1816, the holiday tradition began. Every year on the Wednesday closest to April 23, amidst pomp and circumstance, a horse-drawn carriage brings the governor to collect the peppercorn.While Peppercorn Day is exclusive to Bermuda, many Caribbean islands share similar holidays. For instance, while the specifics differ, many islands celebrate their heritage with national holidays. In Dominica, late October ushers in Creole Week. Part of...
