We have so many old CDs, some are music and some are old school projects or little programs that Eric did. It is really a pain to store them, we have been using different boxes, but the problem is that we did not have time to check them or go through them all the time. Now we can take our old records and bring them into the digital era! This great gadget is able to convert all of our old records to CDs, iPod, MP3 or any other digital files. All I need to do to record my records to CD is simply plug this one-of-a-kind three-speed (33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM) USB Turntable right into your PC. Isn’t this a new revolution? I found this item on First Street and the price is very reasonable. This unique turntable allows me to convert all of my old vinyl collection directly to CD or MP3 quickly and easily. It plugs directly into my computer using the included USB cable. In addition, it comes complete with dustcover, and all cables are included. In addition, I have a 90 day try out period, in this period, if I do not like the product, I could either exchange to a new one or simply to return it without any questions asked. So this will help us to clean lots of office spaces and make our data more organized.

We went to celebrate Amar’s birthday last night, it mostly girls and moms, only three boys were at the gathering. Since Farah is so tired these days, they just decided to have a home gathering for friends to come and visit for a couple of hours. I like the cake they got, it was a chocolate cake with Thomas the train on the cake, I mean there is a real train on the cake and it could run on a small track. All kids were happy playing. All moms were happy chatting, we are so happy to see the kids grow up so fast!

Yesterday there is a big cut by Fed again, 75 base points. I guess finally the Fed is going to do something to save the whole crisis, so there are people talking about more cuts will come soon such as by the end of this month. Although this is a good news for us, such as our mortgage broker told us that today’s rate is 4.75%, but when we told her to lock it, she said that rate was gone and the rate went up after that. My concern is that my company could not find any jobs for me, so maybe we will not be qualified this time since the financial control is so tight. The rate cut is also good news for people who would like to do debt consolidation.

Since the market is changing so much these days, I have been thinking to do some trading, but first I need to find a good site to trade. Then I came across etoro.com, which is a foreign currency trading site. You could practice on the site with virtual money, to compete with other traders, to chat with friends or other trades either public or in private. I would like to practice for a couple of weeks and chat with some people to see how they are doing and what they are trading. Of course I have to analyze the market pick my own stocks or funds. I know this is not an easy job, but I would like to try it. This web site is really user friends and for non professional people, so it will be a good fit for me to start.

I found this 2008 SALOMON Jade Jr Salomon skis on the web site, it looks so cute and sleek. I like the color and the word “Jade” on it. As I used to play a computer game which is called jade monkey, although I do not mean that to ski like a monkey but I am sure this ski will make the movement easier. The price is not bad either, only $205 compare to some $999 ones, this is good either for myself or a gift to a cousin who loves to skate board. There are lots of other Salomon skis on the web site too, such as 2008 SALOMON XW Fury Jr, which is also only $209, very affordable and nice looking. Why not try to visit the shop yourself and find one you like?
