The Best Traveling Laptops

If you are often traveling, whether it’s for business or pleasure and you always want to stay connected with friends, business and the rest of the world with emails, internet browsing or social media, you are going to want to bring along a laptop for traveling.  If you are thinking of traveling with a laptop, you probably want to know what is the best laptop for traveling available on the market.

Laptops for Traveling

There are many models, brands and sizes to choose from.  First, you have to decide on whether you want an actual laptop or a net book.  Size and weight is important when traveling and so is brand.  If you are on a budget, there are a few good labels out there which charge a lower price.  Whether you want a Dell laptop, an HP, a Toshiba, an Acer, etc.,  all depends on what brand you have found you can trust.  This is probably not your first laptop purchase, so you either love the brand of laptop you have now, or you hate it.  Go with that.

If you are traveling for pleasure, you will probably find that the lightest and smallest laptop is going to be a net book.  I once traveled to Dubai and lugging my HP laptop with me.  It measures 17 inches and was very heavy to carry in my backpack.  After that trip, I decided that of the best travel laptops for me was going to be a net book.  I ended up buying a small Acer net book and I haven’t complained since.  It fits in a small bag or purse and it goes with me everywhere. I am very pleased.

Therefore, first look at brand, size, weight and price and make your decision then to purchase a laptop that fits all your requirements.  You can’t go wrong  there.  My final piece of advice is not to buy second hand and don’t buy a demo model.  I always go for the laptops, untouched and just out of the box.

Your alternative is to invest in Apple’s iPad which is probably the big game changer to come along in a while.  You can purchase an iPad for about $499.  Not good for long term typing, it is great for emails, social media, and web browsing.  It’s a nice lightweight little toy to have and just might be your next “laptop.”

Chippy D’s Sex Tape

Chippy D is set to release her first acting job in Hollywood, The Chippy D Sex Tape out in August, for all the fans of sex tapes.

Chippy D is the 19 year old daughter of Hollywood A rated actor, director and producer, Laurence Fishburne.  Surely, papa is not proud of his daughter’s foray into the porn world. Laurence Fishburne’s daughter’s real name is Montana Fishburne who will surely embarrass her father for her first porn film produced by Vivid Entertainment.

For someone this well connected in Hollywood, it’s a pity that Chippy D felt the necessity of making her first film a porn film.  Apparently, she doesn’t seem to be very ashamed of it as she recently announced the release date herself.  Choosing to be a porn star is a personal decision, but will she be able to live this career move down in the future.  It all depends if Chippy D wants to be a porn star or a serious actress in the future.

It is was my 19 year daughter, I’d be really disappointed and embarrassed if something like the Chippy D Sex Tape showed up.  Call me square, but that’s just the way I am.

The Big Wedding Day for Chelsea Clinton

Chelsea Clinton is getting married this evening, at 6:00 p.m., July 31st, in Rhinebeck, N.Y. There have been no sightings of Chelsea, but there was a dinner party held at the Beekman Arms where most of the guests of the wedding are staying. Both former President Clinton and Hilary Rodham Clinton were seen leaving the party. Hilary Clinton was seen wearing an elegant, long, flowing green dress. All were smiles and waving to the crowds that had gathered.

Chelsea Clinton is set to marry her long term boyfriend, Marc Mezvinsky, an investment banker. The Clintons have celebrity status in Rhinebeck, and already the crowds are lining up to watch this ‘royal’ event. They all want to catch a glimpse of Chelsea in her wedding dress. But security is tight for the wedding and Chelsea hasn’t been seen anywhere.

The wedding is to be a private family affair and most of the guests look like the friends of the bride and groom and the Clinton family friends. There are a few celebrities attending but the family wants it to be a very private wedding for Chelsea. It is rumoured that Oprah will be attending, but this could be just a rumor and with substance.   It is expected that the wedding guest list will reach about 500 guests.

A guessing game as to the total cost of this American royal wedding places price tags on the wedding ranging from $2 to $5 million dollars.

Whatever the cost of Chelsea’s wedding, this is truly going to be a day for the bride and groom.

“Shocking Disaster” for Aral Sea

One of the four largest lakes in the world has marked ‘one of the planet’s worst environmental disasters’ because of its slowly shrunken size which is an excruciating 90 percent loss from the original size of its sea bed.

Its evaporation left a windy salted sand which caused jobless fishermen and stranded fishing boats and ships on land. It poorly exhibits a robust land which is dry and lifeless, compared to its condition in 1989.

The shrunken size of the Aral seas was caused by diverting the rivers that once were freely flowing towards the sea into the Soviet Union irrigation projects.

U.N. Secretary- General Ban Ki-moon toured the sea during visit to the five countries of former Soviet Central Asia which included a touchdown in Muynak, Uzbekistan. This was once a town on shore of the “big sea” and now can be described with gray dead sands and hot winds along with the display of camels near the hulks of stranded ships.

Ban was deeply concerned about this and is calling to set aside all rivalries between the surrounding countries and join him into repairing the damages and regain what was lost in the shrunken sea. He promises the United Nations’ support for this project and will continue to help relive the Aral Sea.

There is an ongoing project to replenish the northern part of Aral Sea where a dam is being constructed so as to rise the water level and to house the living sea creatures including marine life to help boost the fish economy of the people in Uzbekistan.
