Houston Home Inspections

ClickSmart is an online directory of certified experts in your area who have been pre-screened so you don't have to. ClickSmart actually check to make sure the business professional is licensed to operate in your area and that they are in good standing with their local Better Business Bureau.

For example, home inspectors in Houston, Texas. All of the listings on ClickSmart provide you with every detail you could need to choose the right contractor for your project.

Do they have a toll free number? Does the contractor have a website? Can you send them an email? All of these features of ClickSmart are right there on screen, but there is more, each listing also has a one-click call link, yup, that's right, simply click that to speak directly to the contractor using VoIP, now getting a houston home inspector is easy, and safer.

Enid Blyton is Favourite British Author

As a kid I used to love reading, and Enid Blyton was alays one of my favourite authors. Strangely enough it was never the 'Famous Five' series that I enjoyed the most, I started with Noddy, then as I got older used to love Brer Rabbit, but as a young teenager my all time favourite Enid Blyton books were the Adventure series.

I mention all of this because Enid Blyton has just been voted best author in the UK, beating J.K. Rowling, Roald Dahl, Beatrix Potter, J.R.R. Tolkien and many more.

Considering the racist controversy around some of her books like the Noddy series, and the fact so many of her stories have been edited before they were republished I'm really pleased to see her take the top number of votes, she was always my favourite author, and she wrote books for all ages of children from toddler to teenager which is something very few authors seem to manage.

You can see the complete list of top 50 British authors at the Costa Book Awards.

Cycling Spain and Gold Medals

Now that we've made the decision to use bike as our main source of transport (other than buses and trains), we're starting to notice the cyclists around our region and how fit they are.

Cycling in Spain is a very popular individual sport, in Ronda there are at least 2 or 3 major off-road races avery year that take cyclists about 100km around the mountains with very little of it on roads.

At the Olympics Spain has also done well with gold medals from Samuel Sanchez winning the 245km men's road race, and Joan Llaneras winning the men's points race.

These two guys are going to be national heroes when they return home after the Olympics considering that cycling has won two of the three gold medals awarded to Spain. I expect to see a lot more interest in cycling as a sport after this.

Rafa Nadal is Mens Tennis Number One

It's all over the news here in Spain, Rafa Nadal is now ranked world number one for mens tennis. His performances lately have been nearly faultless and winning gold in the Beijing Olympics means he has pushed Roger Federer out of the number one spot.

After the Olympics he goes on to the US Open, Federer is defending but Nadal seems ufazed, on TV here he's been saying he's looking forward to meeting Federer again since he still sees Federer as the best player in the world who could easily dethrone him.

Every time we see Nadal play he seems to be a great sport, sure he enjoys his victories but he also praises the other players and he seems so humble accepting his visctory.

I hope he continues to play like a gentleman and that his winning streak doesn't end.

Rocky Horror Picture Show Remake?

Wow, the cult classic movie 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' is to be remade and they're talking about Marilyn Manson as the kind of actor they want to audition, the idea being they want to bring Rocky into the 21st century and make the film a bit edgier and more contemporary than the 1970's original.

I have to say I'm not really in favour of a new version, I kinda like the cheesy kitschy original, although if I had my choice I'd ditch Meatloaf from the original, I've never been a Meatloaf fan so he'd be no loss, but the rest of the cast made that film and I can't see a remake replacing it.

Of course they probably don't intend to replace the original, maybe the success of the DVD version of Rocky, and the Star Wars franchise is making the Rocky franchise greedy. Either way, I don't think the original will ever be threatened in my heart by a new version, actually a new version would have to be VERY good to get my loyalty.

Personal Loan for Something?

Getting a Personal Loan to buy some new furniture, perhaps a new TV, a laptop computer, is all very easy to do, simply fill in an online form for instant approval.

Usually personal loans have lower interest rates than credit cards which means you spend less on the loan over it's life. With the economy today being what it is, it's important to make sure that you consolidate loans and credit cards into manageable chunks that don't overwhelm you, especially as the price of everything just seems to be going up all the time.

Complete Loan Source are a nationwide finance provider offering a range of options from auto loans, personal loans, bad credit loans, even Payday Loan offers.
