• Sarasota's Got An Elf ! ? !

  • From: Daniel
  • Description:

    Sarasota Florida's got an Elf! An Elf? That's right! An honest to goodness, straight from Santa's North Pole, authentic Elf!  This is great.  Finally amidist all the horrible happenings lately like senseless murders, hostage takings, and robberies, there's something purely good to write a crappy humor blog about....

    I found the Sarasota Elf on Facebook a few days back, shamelessly promoting the Sarasota area.  After further investigating Santa's little helper, I'm pretty sure he's linked to a website called 'This Week In Sarasota'  http://www.thisweekinsarasota.com/index.cfm .  One can not only find the Elf, but many a bargin, restaurant, event, ect.  there.  But what really got my attention was the Sarasota Elf, or his videos to be exact.  His videos are works in progress, the first 2 tell of how he came to Sarasota and his deciding to stay, and more videos of the Sarasota Elf's adventures in our area are yet to come.  I gotta say, I loved video 2, with the Elf relaxing with a cold brew, smoking a stoogie.  But hey, that's what vacations are for!  I hope the Elf will wander into one of my favorite watering holes.  I'd love to sit with the little guy and throw back a few!  But I doubt he'll show up in the dives I frequent.  With good reason too. I wouldn't want any large bar slugger I know drunkenly questioning our Elf about a Red Rider BB Gun he never got! Our Elf could probably take care of himself, but I'd get beat-up!  So, I'll have to follow TWIS or Facebook to see where our Elf might be. A  reasonable place perhaps to sit and drink with my new merry friend.

    If you don't get out much yourself, you can catch the Sarasota Elf on our favorite local news source, ABC 7, every Thursday on the noon news.   I wish our new local Elf all the best.  I really don't know of the video's of him yet to come, but with the expierence I've seen with Elves in other Holiday shows,  I know that they can face adversity, like the Elf in Rudolph (although he did finally become a dentist).  I just hope our cheerful Sarasota Elf don't run into the likes of something like The Manasota Grinch!                          11/20/09

• Classic Car Auction in Los Ang

  • From: AntonieLivingston
  • Description:

    Surveys have shown that many are constantly searching online for "classic car auction in Los Angeles" or "Los Angeles classic auto auction". The beauty and charm of antique vehicles is hardly a passing fad. After all, some car makes and models are reminisces of a colorful automobile history.
    
    Typically, at a classic car auction in Los Angeles, you will be able to feast your eyes on models like the 1974 VW Ghia Coupe, antique Chevrolet cars, 1959 Cadillac, Vintage Volkswagen Beetle, Pickup or Camper and even the Boss Mustang and Lincoln Continental. Not to forget the 1963 Falcon Futura convertible. Some of these are put on auction by private collectors, while others are forced sell due to bank repossession or foreclosures.
    
    Where to find such LA classic car auctions?
    
    Dig into the newspapers and online news site like the Los Angeles Times, Daily News Los Angeles and more. A quick check at the LA Avenue homepage will give you a long list of newspapers you can check out. The classified ads or buy/sell corner are where you should be searching.
    
    Check out with your local bank branches and find out if they are holding an auction for foreclosed/repossessed vehicles. Financial lenders are also great places to check out.
    
    The third way, arguably the best method is to use online auction search engines. These car auction databases hold the information of all the existing classic car auctions, government auto auctions, and so on in America. From here, you will know exactly whether there is a classic car auction in Los Angeles. If there is, you may also get to see the car models available.
    
    On top of that, you can always check and see if there are auctions taking place in neighboring cities and states. After all, you can always drive there to participate in the auctions. All it takes is a low one-off fee and you can use their services anytime. It is a time and money saver as you are one of the earliest to hear of an upcoming event. This helps you to plan your car search, hopping from one auction to another over a nice weekend.
    
    More tips on getting an automobile from a Los Angeles classic car auction
    
    Since many of these cars are decades old, their conditions should be of concern to you unless you just want to keep them in your private collection. People do so for investments but still, a vintage car that is working is worth more than a piece of scrap!
    
    Ask a qualified mechanic to come with you to inspect the vehicle before bidding. Go early so that you can have all the time to scrutinize the antique cars. Remember to request for their VIN# numbers if they are available. Some are just too old to have that.
    
    These are some really useful tips that will put you in a good position to buy a nice car home from a classic car auction in Los Angeles.

    Make new discoveries and learn more handy tips about seized car auctions such as where to find such auctions near your home and how to get great bargains for your car deals.

• I love to add some asian style

  • From: chineseclothing
  • Description:

    Chinese style Learn how to get a beautiful and rich, exotic look in your home. Choose a Chinese interior design style, for the ultimate in color, pattern and opulence for your home. A fantastic style to consider... If you are interested in Asian Decorating styles, or oriental interior design, then take a look at this Chinese influenced look - for a really dramatic and unusual design scheme. The term oriental decor refers to designs and schemes from the East (also know as 'The Far East'). This refers to countries like China, Japan, Thailand, orea and Vietnam, as well as other countries in the east. The main countries to provide the inspiration for oriental interior design schemes are China and Japan. The Chinese look is a vibrant look - filled with color and pattern. It is a fantastic look for people who want to bring a little bit of the exotic into their lives. It is an unusual look, but relaxing, cosy, and easy to live with. Walls and Color •Typical Chinese interior design colors are red and black. The red is a bright, rich primary red. •Also use other rich and bright colors, like blue, yellow or green. •A little bit of gold decoration is a vital part of Chinese color and design. Your walls can be plain (but richly colored), or patterned with wallpaper. Try to choose a wallpaper pattern with an oriental inspiration - such as oriental paintting and calligraphy, framed art and so on. As an alternative, if you feel your home is too small or dark for such bright colors, or if you are not massively into colors, but still want to get the oriental feel in your room, try a very pale and neutral background - and get the oriental feel with the furniture and accessories (more on that later..!) Furniture Ornate furniture is a very important part of Chinese interior design. Suitable furniture is typically Chinese - quality wood, with a very fine, glossy lacquer, in black, or varying shades of red. The furniture will have decorative carving, ornate inlays or very detailed and beautiful paintings, and fancy handles. These are very striking statement pieces - so you probably don't want to dilute the effect, by filling your room with a jumble of different designs or colors. Choose one (or even several) statement furniture pieces in this typical Chinese oriental style. The rest of your furniture should be pretty low-key - ideally in a plain black, or dark wood. Accessories Accessories are the best place to really get an authentic Chinese oriental interior design look. Use Chinese paper lanterns for your lighting - these will give quite a soft, warming glow to your room - and a very relaxing atmosphere. Look out for rich, opulent fabrics - such as richly embroidered silks, in Chinese designs. Look for ornaments and fabrics with the following, typically Chinese motifs: animals and mystical beasts - monkeys, dragons and tigers, also beautiful flowers, birds and fish. Try to include some beautiful Chinese ceramics and pottery in your oriental interior design scheme. Look for the above same designs and motifs on bowls, plates, pots, vases and ginger jars. Blue and white pottery is a very typical Chinese design style - so try to include some in your oriental design scheme. It is worthwhile scouring flea markets, antique stalls and especially eBay, for unique Chinese treasures... Take a look at this live feed from eBay. It is constantly updated. Just click on any product for further information, or to bid or buy. Hope you get some great bargains The Chinese oriental interior design style is a really beautiful and striking look for your home. It is actually quite easy to achieve, as well - it only takes a splash of authentic color, and a few of the correct accessories to get the right look. If you choose this look, you will get a very dramatic look - but one that you can relax in and be proud of...

• Chinese porcelain

  • From: chineseclothing
  • Description:

    'When you are a foreigner you can bring something of your own culture to the new country, This is good way for a foreigner to start a business . . . to bring your own culture. This is all typically Chinese.' We are sitting surrounded by a huge array of bowls, vases, plates and even china pig-shaped porcelain. I wanted to bring Chinese porcelain here，I wanted to bring the spirit of China to the people. I hope I have done that, yes?’ Judy has been in Finland since October 2006. She met her Finnish husband when she was working in Malaysia managing the production of Chinese textiles. Since June this year, however, she has been attempting to bring exquisite, hand-made Chinese porcelain to Oulu. ‘This is a traditional Chinese porcelain’ she points me to the most impressive pair of vase that they have on sale. ‘They are 1.8 metres tall, They are hand painted and the painting describes a pond with lotus flowers and carps.’ ‘Lotus Lover’ She then stands up and points me towards the calligraphy in the tall vase. ‘There is a Chinese poem here called “The Tale of a Lotus Lover”. It says . . .’ she quickly translates in her head, ‘The lotus lives in the dirty mud but it is still pure.’ The pair is on sale for 5000 euros and Judy and Wendy hope to sell them to a hotel. ‘I think that they would look very good in a hotel lobby,’ adds she. Though much of the porcelain is far cheaper and there are pots for around 25 euros as well. Porcelain, also called 'fine china', featuring its delicate texture, pleasing color, and refined sculpture, has been one of the earliest artworks introduced to the western world through the Silk Road. The earliest porcelain ware was found made of Kaolin in the Shang Dynasty (16th - 11th century BC), and possessed the common aspects of the smoothness and impervious quality of hard enamel, though pottery wares were more widely used among most of the ordinary people. Anyway it was the beginning of porcelain, which afterwards in the succeeding dynasties and due to its durability and luster, rapidly became a necessity of daily life, especially in the middle and upper classes. They were made in the form of all kinds of items, such as bowls, cups, tea sets, vases, jewel cases, incense burners, musical instruments and boxes for stationary and chess, as well as pillows for traditional doctors to use to feel one's pulse. The development of porcelain in the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220) began to accelerate and before long the artworks were introduced westward. Celadon(like the color of jade) and black porcelain wares were the dominant types at that time. Styles of porcelain had formed and differed based on regions by then. The Yue Kiln in Zhejiang Province, which has enjoyed a good reputation for over 2,000 years up to now, produced delicate and hard celadon porcelain; while the De Kiln became the earliest kiln that baked black porcelain. During the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907), a large number of porcelain wares were in daily use having been substituted for the ones made of gold, silver, jade and other materials. With export, Chinese patterns on these wares also took on more exotic appeal. The Yue and De kiln of Zhejiang Province had features that were the most popular ones, and another one, Xing kiln in Hebei Province was greatly prized for its white porcelain as 'white like snow'. Kilns baking porcelain for the royalty sprang up producing elegant and dainty works. Stepping into the Song Dynasty (960 - 1279), a variety of genres of porcelain appeared and it became a fashion that people showed great interest in purchasing and collecting certain wares suitable to their tastes. Ru, Ding, Ge, Jun and the official kilns had been the representatives of that age. Official kilns advocated concise patterns of decoration; Ru kiln in Hebei Province added treasured agate into glaze so that the color and texture appeared to be uniquely daintily creamy and could be compared with jade. Henan Province had two famous kilns named Jun and Ding kilns. Since the reign of Emperor Huizong who liked art appreciation, porcelain of Jun kiln was kept exclusively for the royal family and common people had no right to collect it no matter how much money they possessed. Since the artisans made their porcelain wares separately, there was no repetition among decorative patterns and colors. Thus this made each porcelain product more precious in its own right. Ding kiln boasted its white porcelain which has a texture as delicate as that of ivory with an adornment of black and purple glaze. Distinctive from the other four kilns which stressed color, this one was quite good at engraving and printing flower patterns. While the Ge Kiln produced porcelain articles with various grains and produced an amount of artworks greater than those of the other four. Well developed in the Yuan Dynasty (1271 - 1368), the blue and white porcelain (Qinghua Ci), in the main stream of porcelain, was the stylish artistic ware in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and promoted this period to be the most prolific in the field of feudal art. First it painted on the basic body with brush natural cobalt which would be turned blue after being in the forge. Set off by the white glaze and covered by the other level of clear glaze, the blue flowers and other patterns showed their comely charm and were widely welcomed among both refined and popular tastes. With the diversity of cobalt, theme, and style of painting, the blue and white porcelains differed constantly, each being unique. As we know, the features of porcelain lie in texture of basic body, color of glaze, decorative pattern, shape and style, while porcelain at that time had sublimed to be at the most elegant. The familiar rose porcelain was another highlight that appeared during the reign of Emperor Kangxi (1653 - 1722). The finished article appears more stereoscopic, colorful, gentle and clean. Nearly all the refined colored pigments were utilized like ancient purple, magenta, ochre, emerald, and so on. Through the development of 4,000 years, now it is still a brilliant art that ttracts many people's interest. Collect your favorite porcelain article and place it in your room to enjoy the pleasure of it. The Porcelain Capital, Jingdezhen in Jiangxi Province which has been praised for thousands of ears, will be certain to satisfy your esthetic appetite.

• AYpearl.com explain How To Sel

  • From: sharon0610
  • Description:

     

    Earrings are available online on many craft sites, at accessory stores, or you can go hunting at local craft fairs for earrings and other fashion jewelry.

     

    Another great place to find original earrings  is flea markets. There you can find some one-of-a-kind designs that no one else will be sporting. Just the nature of this type of jewelry gives you the greatest chance to wear something unique.

     

    Just remember that earring shapes should balance the face instead of matching it. Round hoops soften rectangular faces, but angular earrings emphasize sharp features. Follow these hints for individual features:

     

    Oval face:

    Lucky you! If you have an oval face shape, you can wear almost any earring style. Hoops and triangles are especially flattering. However, triangles will emphasize a pointy chin.

     

    Round face:

    Choose longer earrings with oblong or straight styles. Earrings with sharp angles balance the curves of the face. Avoid round and chunky earrings that sit on the ear lobe. For pretty gemstone earrings, consider the long chains with dangling gems.

     

    Square face:

    hoops, ovals and small earrings look best. Avoid wearing short and chunky earrings; they make the face appear wider.

     

    Large/small/full:

    Earring size is relevant to the size and shape of each individual's face. Chunky earrings that are fabulous on a tall woman may overwhelm a petite woman's features. Round and button styles add curves to a full face; and 3-inch chains or spikes drag down a long, skinny face. Again, balance is the key to a good fit.

• How to find your perfect dress

  • From: chineseclothing
  • Description:

    Everyone likes to look great all the time. This is especially important on one's wedding day. Not everyone wants to spend thousands of dollars to create this look though. There are ways to get around the thousands that are needed to purchase the best dress. One of these ways is to create the perfect wedding dress. By creating the wedding dress, one can get wedding dresses on a budget and personalize these dresses to perfectly match her personality and fit needs.

    Finding the right wedding dresses on a budget can be stressful. There are thousands of beautiful dresses for sale; there are only a few hundred that are affordable. Often a bride will search for months to find the perfect and affordable dress. Once this is over, the stress is far from done. Finding the dress simply means that the bride gets to start searching for the best jewelry and shoes to go with the dress. The sales associates at the wedding dress store will try to sell the jewelry that they have there, but this is often very over priced and can be obtained elsewhere for less.

    With today's falling stock markets and job uncertainty, buying a wedding dress can be a real financial hardship for many families. Every bride wants a beautiful wedding dress, but today's brides are looking for discounted wedding dresses that will look elegant without breaking the budget.

    It's not hard to find a modest, discounted wedding dress that can be embellished and made to look expensive and elegant. Why pay top dollar for your dream dress when you can put a little extra effort into a cheaper dress that will be just as beautiful.

    Bridal stores and designer stores are going to be expensive, so they will not be the first place you will want to look for discount dresses. They do have beautiful dresses, but even the cheapest dresses in the bridal store can break your entire wedding budget. These same dresses, or one very similar can be found cheaper by doing a little searching. Discounted wedding dresses can be found in many online locations. If you have ever looked at the wedding dresses on GoodOrient.com you probably were amazed at the variety and price or what was being offered. On GoodOrient.com these wedding dresses are sold by wholesale with good design and quality. Many of the dresses are overstock wedding dresses that the seller was able to get at a discount by buying in bulk. They are still just as beautiful as any dress you will find at the fancy bridal shops.

• Netbooks vs notebooks: which s

  • From: smallvolume
  • Description:

    The idea of a netbook isn't exactly new. Microsoft first touted the concept of a small laptop-style device with a long battery life as far back as the late 1990s. Back then it was pushing its Windows CE Professional operating system.

    What about connectivity? As the name suggests, netbooks are really aimed at people who want an easy-to-use device that gives them access to the internet, and they certainly seem to deliver on this front. All of them come with Wi-Fi built in and an increasing number now also have Bluetooth on board, so they can be connected wirelessly to a 3G mobile phone for internet access on the move. Some of the latest models are even being offered with built-in 3G, so that they can be used straight out of the box with mobile broadband services. Do you need it for work? Of course, as well as sending emails, updating your Facebook page and watching TV on the web, most of us have to use our laptops for boring work stuff from time to time. In this regard the netbooks on the market today equip themselves pretty well. Instead of Microsoft Office, the majority come with one of the less expensive or free alternatives, such as Star Office, Open Office, Word Perfect Office or Microsoft Works. While both Star Office and Word Perfect Office take a while to adjust to, they have much of the same functionality as Microsoft Office and are mostly compatible with Office file types so you should have no problems opening, editing and saving documents sent to you by work colleagues. Although the small keyboards and screens on models like the smaller Eee PCs and Acer Aspire One make it a bit of a chore to work on long documents, this isn't such a problem on larger machines like the Eee PC 1000 and MSI Wind. Speed-wise, we didn't experience many problems when working on Word, Excel or PowerPoint files on a variety of netbooks. File opening and saving times were fairly nippy and even cutting and pasting large images or lots of tables and graphs didn't slow things down too much. However, if you keep a lot of documents open at the same time and are constantly switching between them, it can place a strain on a netbook's limited spec. This is mainly because netbooks tend to come with a limited amount of memory, but it's also due to the nature of the Atom processor, which isn't a patch on the dual-core and quadcore processors found in full-blown laptops when it comes to multi-tasking. On the whole, we'd say that for day-to-day office tasks, netbooks have enough processing power to get the job done without feeling too sluggish. Do you want to play games? At a time when some laptops are starting to rival desktop machines in terms of gaming performance, the current crop of netbooks fall woefully short when it comes to gaming prowess. The latest laptops come with dedicated graphics chips that help them produce stunning frame rates and amazing graphics in the latest and most demanding games. And while these represent the pinnacle of mobile gaming performance, even the cheapest and most basic notebooks have enough power to play slightly older titles at a decent frame rate. However, the same can't be said for netbooks. Any 3D game that requires relatively demanding graphics – even titles that are a two or three years old – run so slowly as to be unplayable and some titles just don't work at all. For example, we tried the Crysis demo on the Medion E1210, but it refused to run, announcing that it wasn't compatible with the Mobile Intel 945 chipset. Nevertheless, you will be able to play some ageing classics. The original version of Half Life worked without any problems, as did Halo I, although you'll need a USB optical drive to be able to install both titles. Still, it's clear that if you're a gamer and you want to be able to play titles created in the last four years or so, then a netbook will not provide sufficient power to even scratch your itchy trigger finger. So, should you go for a netbook or a notebook? There's no doubt that netbooks are an exciting addition to the world of mobile computing. However, we wouldn't really recommend a netbook as your sole computer unless you're a fairly undemanding PC user. For more intensive tasks, you'll find that a netbook's limited performance really gets in the way. However, as a companion for your existing laptop or desktop PC, a netbook is hard to beat. They're highly portable and the good battery life is also a boon. Add to this the fact that they're so competitively priced and you've got a really tempting device.

• DARE YOU WEAR A MINISKIRT

  • From: chineseclothing
  • Description:

    1965's Fashion Creation Is Still A Wardrobe Mainstay

    Okay – we as transgendered women are known for our Great Legs! Whether you’re a crossdresser, transsexual or drag queen, you don’t inherently have a cellulite problem that most genetic women have. So whether you go au natural, or slip on a pair of pantyhose, nylons, or tights, our legs can make a Miniskirt shine!

    Nowadays the miniskirt can be constructed in a multitude of fabrics and a wide variety of styles. Cotton, Spandex, Leather, Lace, Suede, Vinyl, Latex… you name it! Shimmery soft to rigid in form; from almost knee length to micro in size.

    But where, to wear, a miniskirt? I asked TG LIFE’s self proclaimed Fashionista, Vivian Blaine, to add her thoughts on the subject.

    “The Miniskirt is truly a fashion staple, but also a possible faux pas for many a TG maiden. Yes, this simple short garment will make your legs look fabulous, but only if you accessorize correctly! No skimpy tube tops to go with it unless you have a washboard stomach! And I mean “Do Your Sit-ups Girls!” Even Britney is having problems with that these days! And carefully observe how you sit (legs crossed, of course) on a chair or stool, let alone departing from an automobile. Lest we mention Britney again! Also dress appropriately for the location, and the situation. Malls… no. Clubs… yes! Formal gatherings… forget it!”

    Thanks Vivian, I think we all get the picture now.

    So how did miniskirts come about? Way back in the 1960’s (almost when dinosaurs ruled the earth), the modestly short, common fabric dress called the miniskirt was scandalous! It had never been seen before.

    Before the British Music invasion of the 1960’s, Mary Quant, ran a popular clothes shop in Kings Road, Chelsea, London, called Bazaar, from which she sold her own designs. In the late 1950s she began experimenting with shorter skirts. As England’s Carnaby Street clothing became all the rage, her designs resulted in the miniskirt in 1965—one of the defining fashions of the decade.

    With Mary Quant located in the heart of fashionable "Swinging London", the miniskirt was able to spread beyond a simple street fashion into a major international trend at an incredible speed. It was first sensationalized when model Jean Shrimpton wore a short white shift dress, made by Colin Rolfe, on October 30th, 1965 at Derby Day, the first day of the annual Melbourne Cup Carnival in Australia. Heads turned and cameras focused!

    The miniskirt was further popularized by André Courrèges, who developed it separately, incorporating it into his Mod look, for spring/summer 1965. His miniskirts were less body hugging, and worn with white boots that became a trademark. By introducing the miniskirt into the haute couture of the fashion industry, Courrèges gave it a greater degree of respectability.

    Tights and pantyhose became highly fashionable, in place of stockings, specifically because the rise in hemlines meant that stocking tops would be visible.

    During the mid-1970s, the fashion industry largely returned to longer skirts such as the midi and the maxi, and the miniskirt seemed to almost disappear. According to journalist Christopher Booker, “there was almost nowhere else to go... the miniskirts could go no higher".

    Even though miniskirts remained a minimal staple, especially with the New Wave crowd of the 1970’s, they began to re-emerge in the 1980’s. Many women began to incorporate the miniskirt into their business attire, a trend that grew during the remainder of the century. Films and television series made in the mid-1990s (Friends, Sex and the City, Ally McBeal, for example) show how important the mini had become again.

    Today, the miniskirt holds a place in many wardrobes – especially for TG’s like us! So if your legs are shapely enough to show off, pull on a miniskirt! Styles and lengths come and go, but the miniskirt will never go out of style!

• Electronic Cigarette

  • From: ecigarette
  • Description:

    The Electronic Cigarette was developed in China in 2004. It was designed to take the place of smoking tobacco cigarettes and cigars because, despite global smoking bans, many smokers just find it too difficult to quit altogether. There are numerous nicotine replacement products on the market, such as gum and patches, but these in no way replicate the smoking experience which has been proven to be a part of the addictive ritual of smoking. The e-cigarette is revolutionary in that it's aim is to both deliver nicotine to user and simulate the experience of smoking a traditional tobacco cigarette.
    
    The Electronic Cigarette in most cases looks just like a traditional cigarette and is made of a mouthpiece that holds a nicotine cartridge, a heating element or atomizer, a battery and an LED at the tip of the device. The way e-cigs work is that they contain an airflow meter that is triggered when the user inhales on the device. This activates the atomizer and delivers the nicotine to the smoker by a short burst of vapor that is inhaled. The LED at the tip lights up showing that the battery is working and also making the device appear similar to a lit cigarette. The vapor that is exhaled may look like smoke but it is actually just water, propylene glycol based vapor that is odorless and harmless.
    
    E-cigarette come in many shapes, colors and flavors. There are the models that look like traditional cigarettes and also some that are made to look like fountain pens. Flavors are limitless from Marlboro and Camel to Mint and Chocolate, with new flavors being developed constantly. The cartridges are also available with different levels of nicotine.  The various levels of nicotine allows the smoker to naturally wean themselves off of nicotine slowly.  
    
    There is a lot of controversy and confusion with regards to the legality and safety of electronic cigarettes and the media does not seem to be sorting the facts out for us very well. E-Cigarettes are available for sale in the United States but they are NOT endorsed by the FDA. Electronic Cigarettes can be sold as "Alternatives" to tobacco cigarettes but they are not approved yet as "Smoking Cessation" devices. Electronic Cigarettes have not been deemed to be unsafe by any US or European health organization and parts of Europe have even declared the electronic cigarette to be a public-friendly device.
    
    Traditional tobacco cigarettes have over 4,000 chemicals in them, a lot of which have been deemed carcinogenic and dangerous to your health.  Switching to electronic cigarettes eliminates those chemicals.  People who have smoked traditional cigarettes that switch to electronic cigarettes say that they fell better, can breather easier and have recovered their sense of taste and smell.  There is no flame or smoke with electronic cigarettes, therefore the smoking bans do not apply.  In fact, many restaurants, airports, malls and casinos welcome electronic cigarettes. 
    
    Electronic cigarettes are also more cost effective than tobacco cigarettes.  Aside from the initial investment in a starter kit, you will save a ton of money by switching.  Many electronic cigarette smokers save over 75% over regular cigarettes. 
    
    The electronic cigarette has the potential to save millions of lives from the harmful effects of tobacco smoke.  Quitting smoking is hard, the addictive properties of traditional tobacco cigarettes make it near impossible for people to quit.  The solution may lay with switching from tobacco cigarettes to electronic cigarettes.
    
    Gabina King is an expert on electronic cigarettes and is working diligently to help electronic cigarettes become a healthier, mainstream smoking tool.
