Cell phones used to be things that all looked pretty similar. Today, you can find many different brands and many of them have no resemblance to the rest of the ones you may see in the store. Even with all of the variety there is, some still like to do something to make their phone look different from everyone else’s. Sometimes it is about originality, and other times, it is an easy and quick way to pick their phone out of a line up, so to speak. Often, many use cell phone accessories to make their phone truly unique.

There are many different types of cell phone accessories that you can get. Some of the most popular are face plates. You have to get ones made specifically for your phone when you do this, but that shouldn’t be too hard. You can find them even if your phone is rather new to the market. Those that make these cell phone accessories get them out as quickly as they can. You can usually find many different colors and designs from which to choose, and there is usually something for everyone.

Another type of cell phone accessories are the rhinestones or crystals that you can add to your phone. You can get them to make your own design, or you can get kits that are already done and you simply peel and apply. You do have to be careful when you buy this type of cell phone accessories however, as some of them are better than others. The ones that come on a single sheet of adhesive are easy to use, but you will find dirt and lint will stick to the glue. You may want to opt for one that comes in a design you like, but that you have to apply one by one. That way, you don’t have exposed glue to attract dirt.

Other cell phone accessories include charms that you can hang from your phone, though you can’t do this with all phones. You an also find carrying cases that are colorful and unique, and that can add something to the look you want for your phone. You may find that you have a great time getting cell phone accessories, and that you may get an unexpected benefit from doing this. In many cases, your additions may make your phone less desirable to thieves. That alone makes it a great idea.

Most people have something in their home that you could define as a catch all. This is something that most don’t really give a name, but it works much like the name implies. In my house, it is a basket that tends to accumulate all of the little things that I seem to have no use for, but I am just sure that I am going to need at any moment. What usually happens is that I generally never use anything from that basket, and I end up starting a new one. Once a year I have to toss everything, but I never seem to learn my lesson.

Some people take a more practical approach to the catch all. They don’t save the silly things that I do, but instead use something that allows things they use each day to go in and out without losing them. This is the best use of the catch all, but it is somewhat lost on me. They may use such a place for change, small bills, keys, sunglasses, and other things that may be needed each day but are easily lost. For me, that would be great, but my important items would be lost in a pile of those things I just can’t seem to part with and can’t throw away.

You can use a catch all for just about anything, and it can be about more than just keys and loose change. You can have a basket in your foyer as a catch all for gloves, hats, scarves, and anything else that you may want to keep there, but you don’t want laying all over the floor. You can also have something like that in your kitchen for the items that you use the most so you don’t have to hunt them down daily. This might be often-used measuring cups sizes, twist ties, and other odds and ends.

There is one more type of catch all that people use, though it is rarely given that name. These are things much like welcome mats that catch all of the dirt and mud that tends to track into the house. It might even stops things like leaves from coming too far into the house. You may have to clean them, but it is far easier than cleaning up tracks that seem to go all over the house. Some of these are very simple, and some are meant for the tougher jobs. You’ll know when looking at them which will work best for your home.

Most people love to get houses and special beds for their dogs, but they often forget that cats need some of the same things to be comfortable in the home. Though there really are no cat houses to keep cats outdoors, there are plenty of things you can buy for them in your home that they will love, and even though you won’t think so, they will appreciate and use them once they realize they can use these things for play or warmth. One thing that owners should always have are cat baskets so that their cats have a warm place to lie down.

Most cats love to lie down on your bed or perhaps on the furniture. This is always nice for them, but might not be as nice for you. Some can get sick, and when they do, they won’t go much further than where they are lying to do so. That means you may end up with some unwanted goodies on your bed or your couch. If they have cat baskets in which to lay, they may end up making such a mess on the floor. Not ideal, but better than on your new comforter or your leather couch.

What is great about cat baskets as apposed to your furniture -besides the issue of vomiting- is that you don’t have to have a lot of pet hair where you sleep, and even when they might shed in their cat baskets, they are rather easy to clean. Some come with a cushion that you can remove and throw right into the washer when you think it needs to be cleaned. You shouldn’t clean it too often, as cats like to find their own scent where they lie down, but you can clean it when it needs it the most without having to go through a lot of trouble to do so.

You can find great cat baskets almost anywhere you would normally shop for your pet needs. You can even find great ones online, and many of the larger sizes might be online as well. Though most cats are about the same size, some like to sleep together in the same basket. That means you won’t have to buy two cat baskets, but instead you could find a larger size that would fit both of your cats comfortably, if in fact you have more than one. You can even find baskets that will go well with your home style and décor if that is something you wish to find.

When you’ve had a long day, the last thing you need is to come home and spend an hour or more getting dinner to the table. Fortunately for us all, the casserole can step in from your freezer inventory and be ready in short order.

The casserole, as a meal-in-a-pot, has been around since ancient times. It was the French, in the 19th century, who gave us the name, casserole (cocotte) which identified the container rather than specific contents. In general, a casserole is any large, deep oven proof container in which the ingredients, usually vegetables, cooked meats and fish are mixed or layered, with a base of pasta or rice in a sauce. Today, known by a number of names, casserole recipes are found in nearly every cuisine around the world.

There are thousands of combinations to be made from such ingredients. Casserole recipes abound, online and in cookbooks. With a bit of practice, you can make your own recipes, using your favorite ingredients in combinations pleasing to your family. The contents take ingredients from nearly all the food groups and make a substantial, nutritious and satisfying meal. Served with a dinner salad and a chunk of bread, even a teen’s voracious appetite and taste buds are made happy by the end of the meal.

One major advantage of casserole recipes is that you can make most ahead of time. You can take them straight from the frig to the oven for a quick meal. If you double the recipe, one may be frozen for use up to three months later.

When you plan to freeze a casserole, line your dish with heavy foil of sufficient size to cover the top of the dish when cooked. Pop the casserole, dish and all, into the freezer. When frozen, lift the entire casserole from the dish and wrap it foil and all, in a sealable freezer bag. Your casserole dish is again ready for another task and you have a ready-to-go meal to fill in future menus.

The diversity of ingredients contained in casserole recipes is indeed a boon to the cook. Much like the omelette, ingredients can be pretty much what you’d like to combine. Casserole recipes are good candidates for substitutions of your choice. If you find a recipe featuring green beans, corn may do just as well. This versatility allows you to make good use of leftovers.

Many cooks believe that seasoning is the soul of any dish. Different seasonings can make the same ingredients a totally new taste experience. So don’t hesitate to vary your seasonings.

The same is true of your sauce. Simple white sauces, gravy made of chicken or beef broths and thin sauces of orange juice, ginger and butter drizzled over rice, chicken and vegetables are just a few of the possibilities.

Make casserole recipes a first choice when filling out your menus. You’ll gain variety, value and save time for future meals, all while satisfying your family’s appetite.

Conducting a car search often meant taking a drive around to the local dealerships in the area to see what they had to offer. Those looking for a used car simply had to open the classifieds to see what was out there, or they may have even spotted something for sale sitting along the edge of the road. There were also some used car lots, but they were not nearly as large or as numerous as the ones that offered new models. Either way, the search for a new or used car was always very local. That is, until the Internet came along.

I had never heard of an online car search until my dad did one to find his new truck. He was always wary of computers and the Internet in general, so I was really surprised when he told me he was going to pick up his new truck and that he had found it over the Internet. He said he did a car search within one hundred miles of where he lived in order to see what was out there. He found exactly what he wanted at a price he could deal with, and he went within a week to complete the purchase and pick up his new vehicle.

A hundred miles might not seem like a very large car search area, but if you really think about it, it is more than any one person could hope to get to when searching for a new vehicle. You couldn’t possibly cover each and every one of those dealerships, and even if you wanted to, it simple would not be cost or time efficient. This car search did the work for him and he found what he wanted within a few days. He still had to see it in person, but because it was new, that wasn’t a huge issue.

There are many sites that offer this type of car search online, and many of them are free. This does beat searching in person, but there is one drawback. There is no chance to test drive the car or truck before driving there to buy it. The test drive can be done once someone arrives at the dealership, but someone may decide they don’t like it and they will have to drive home and start their car search all over again. However, for someone who has a good idea what they want and what they want to spend, this can be a great time and money saver.

It’s important for consumers to spend time when shopping for a new or used car, to know what car safety features to look for in making sure that the vehicle is safe. There are quite a few online car safety guides where car owners and buyers can go to learn more about the safety features of a particular vehicle. Guides offer an overview of the features that most affect the safety of a vehicle. Kelly Blue Book, located online at www.kbb.com, provides unbiased and accurate information to consumers, including pricing for new, used, and trade-in values. This guide to car safety outlines what consumers should consider before making a vehicle purchase. Adjustability and comfort are important features, as are handling and stability, the restraint system, front/side air bags, audible warning devices, anti-lock brakes, front and side impact protection, traction control, and other factors including whether it’s four wheel drive, front wheel drive, or rear wheel drive.

According to CNN Money at www.money.cnn.com, cruise control is more important to some consumers than side air bags, a safety feature people need but don’t want to pay for. Many buyers overlook car safety features, and auto companies tout their crash test ratings and advanced safety features because they think safety sells. According to a recent survey by Consumer Reports, anti-lock brakes came in fourth in desirability after air conditioning, a radio and a CD player. More focus should be emphasized on finding out which cars have which safety features, instead of color and cruise control when shopping for a new or used vehicle. With rising gas prices, consumers also may want to keep in mind economy and gas usage in addition to the car’s safety features.

It’s a good idea to test drive a vehicle at night to check visibility of headlights, as well as to make sure the seat belts fit well, are comfortable, and that head restraints, roof structures, and windshield designs don’t interfere with the driver’s ability to see clearly.
Other important car safety features that buyer should pay particular attention to are front/side air bags, anti-lock brakes, traction control, all-wheel drive, and electronic stability control, which is designed to assist drivers in maintaining control of their vehicles during extreme steering maneuvers. New car safety features are ever increasing, and many are included as standard equipment or available for purchase as an option. To learn more about available car safety features, visit www.auto.msn.com, www.carsdirect.com, www.kbb.com, or www.travelers.com for reliable consumer car buying information.

Though I think that car navigation systems are a fantastic idea, I have yet to get one. I am not sure what you get for the price they are asking, and that is what makes me hesitate. Though I realize they may have to be updated, I do know that I don’t want to spend a lot of money that I have to pay to update all of the time. Some of the prices on these are really high, but if you really think about it, what could be better than a personal guide when you have to drive? Perhaps the days of getting lost are almost over.

I have seen all sorts of car navigation systems on television, and I really think that I would like to have one. I do not, however, want to pay a monthly fee on top of what I paid for the systems. Hopefully, that is not the case with these, but that I am not sure about. What I do know is that in order for car navigation systems to be valid, they would have to be updated. Roads change all of the time, not only in where they go, but also their route number. Construction is also a problem, though not really a necessary piece of information. It would be nice though, don’t you think?

There are some car navigation systems that not only warn of construction, find the best route, and tell you how long before you must make a turn. There are also some that find hotels and other businesses for you. This would be invaluable if you love to travel and you aren’t quite sure what you will be doing once you reach a destination. I have gone on many road trips, and the problems I have had finding a place to eat or even finding my destination tells me that I should indeed think about investing in car navigation systems.

When you go searching for car navigation systems, make sure you know what you want before you buy. Though the prices vary wildly, you usually get what you pay for. If you don’t travel very often, you may not want to pay for a lot of the extras. However, if you love to drive and go on trips, or if you are moving to a new area (especially an urban one), you may benefit from care navigation systems that do it all. Not only will you not have to worry about getting lost again, you can have help finding grocery stores, places to eat, and even a shortcut to work that will save you both time and money.

Even though I graduated from college more than six months ago, I still haven’t quite decided what kind of job I’d like to have. I majored in Business Administration, so there are a variety of fields open to me; I just can’t figure out what I’d really like to do with my life. I went back to my school’s job placement center to talk to one of the counselors there, and she suggested that I take a career assessment test to help me pinpoint my interests.

I’d never thought about taking a career assessment test before because. I wondered how much good it would do to evaluate my various aptitudes now — especially since I already have my degree and everything. It’s not as though I can go back to school and study Art History or whatever if the career assessment tests shows that I ought to be a museum curator. But the counselor assured me that people of all ages take these surveys, and that it’s never too late to find out where my interests lie.

I finally agreed to do so, but then found out that I’d have to go all the way back to campus (a two-and-a-half hour drive) for it. That didn’t appeal to me, so instead I got online and checked to see if I could take a career assessment test that way. Sure enough, I discovered many job-related websites that offer free career assessment tests to people who are struggling to find their path in life.

After choosing a couple of websites that looked helpful, I sat down and worked my way through three separate career assessment tests. Even though the questions were different, I got the same results: I would be best suited as an office manager of some sort. That’s not very exciting, I guess, but it’s kind of how I always envisioned myself anyway, so I think these surveys are actually pretty accurate.

In addition to the interest surveys, many of these websites I found also featured other job-hunting tools and resources, such as resume wizards, cover letter samples, and even placement services for those who know what kind of position they want. Many of these resources are completely free, so I might as well revamp my resume, polish my cover letter, and start my job search anew. Now that I know where to focus my energies, I’m confident that I’ll land a good job sometime soon.

If you’re currently wrestling with questions about your future, I recommend taking a career assessment test to help point you in the right direction. Doing so might just lead you to your dream job!
