			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The main options for many travelers when carrying many around Europe are credit cards, debit cards, cash and travelers&#8217; checks. Most experienced travelers always carry a combination of these. Remember to always keep your money, passports and other valuable as where no one can get them or even see them. Smart travelers use a moneybelt that&#8217;s worn under clothing to keep your valuables close to you and still remain unobtrusive to prying eyes. You should also bring a purse, wallet, or a change pouch to carry around your spending money. This gives convenience and practicality so you don&#8217;t have to reach into your moneybelt every time you need to pay for something.</p>
<p>Last January 1999, the euro was officially introduced. Coins and bills were circulated in January 2002. The value of the euro is currently a little higher than the US dollar but it has made traveling around Europe so much easier. With the euro, you also save money by simply buying one uniform currency, unlike before when you had to change your dollars into francs, liras, drachmas, zlotys and 10 other European currencies.</p>
<p>But even with the acceptance of the euro, travelers&#8217; checks are still the most popular choice to safely carry many around when traveling. If checks are lost or stolen, the can always be replaced by the agency or the issuing bank on the spot or within a few days. Just make sure you always keep the purchase agreement of the checks with you and keep the serial number of the checks that you have spent. In this way, you can tell the bank which checks are missing. It is also easier to keep track of your spending using travelers&#8217; checks. The most commonly accepted travelers checks are American Express, Thomas Cook and Visa. AMEX also replaces lost checks the fastest. It is also suggested that you carry checks in large denominations (from $50-$100) to avoid continuing the paying check-cashing fees that can add up.</p>
<p>Credit cards are also becoming more readily accepted all over Europe but can be useless for small purchases. You can also certainly use it to pay for hotel accommodation, plane tickets and other large or emergency purchases. The most widely accepted credit cards are MasterCard and Visa. You can also withdraw cash from ATMs in big cities and some countries. The obvious disadvantage of using credit cards is the risk of getting into debt once you get home. If you will be in Europe for more than a month, expect to be charged exorbitant monthly interest rates. Put a limit on your card before you leave home. Also check the invoices and receipts whenever you buy something with a credit card so you can compare it to your account statement once you get home.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also good to bring a debit card with you. The money you spend with a debit card is taken directly out of your savings account. If your account runs out, you can&#8217;t pay. Debit cards can also be used to withdraw cash from ATMs and to make purchases in stores. The most popular debit cards are Eurocard and Cirrus Plus. If your debit card gets stolen, the thief can&#8217;t get your money unless he knows your pin number. So never write down your pin number anywhere. If the thief finds your pin number out and withdraws money, you can&#8217;t get it back.</p>
<p>Avoid carrying large amounts of cash around because once it&#8217;s stolen, you&#8217;ll never see it again. However, it&#8217;s still a good idea to bring cash around, especially for emergencies. The money can be helpful if your travelers checks, passport, or credit cards are stolen along the way. Keep the money away from other valuables. Veteran travelers stitch an amount inside the lining of their backpacks.</p>
<p>If you will be away for a longer time or if you run out of money, you can have money sent to you using an international money transfer service. Just remember them that most banks charge a fee for wiring money, so use the service only when you have to. Your family or friends can also use the service like Western Union, but its rates may be higher than other agencies.</p>

		<title>Leonardo&#8217;s &#8220;Mona Lisa&#8221; Image Was Venerated As A Saint By Otomi Indians In Mexico</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lately the image of the &#8220;Mona Lisa&#8221; as occupied a preponderant position in the news around the world thanks to the recently released movie based on Dan Brown&#8217;s novel. But there is a small town in Mexico&#8217;s province where the religious feelings of its people manifested in a strange cult that would also be excellent material for a controversial novel.</p>
<p>Nequeteje is a small town situated in the Mexican state of Hidalgo in the central region of the country not too far from Mexico City. It has a population of around 3000 people, most of them Otomi indians, that make a living mostly from agriculture and some small business financed by the money sent back by immigrants in the U.S to their families.</p>
<p>For 50 years, believe it or not, the cult to Leonardo&#8217;s &#8220;Monalisa&#8221; was widespread among these people, to the point of having the image of this world famous painting placed in the main altar of the town&#8217;s church sharing space with the traditional saints of the Catholic faith. They even used to take the image of &#8220;Monalisa&#8221; in religious processions to other nearby towns and they attributed many miracles to the new &#8220;saint&#8221;.</p>
<p>According to the story, &#8220;Mona Lisa&#8221; arrived in town in the 1940&#8217;s when a group of foreign researchers spent some time in town and somehow they forgot to take the reproduction with them. Some one in Nequeteje found it and suddenly &#8220;Monalisa&#8221; became a new saint to venerate in town.</p>
<p>It has to be said the the Catholic Church never approved the cult but they tolerated the worship of &#8220;Mona Lisa&#8221; for many years afraid of the turmoil they could provoke if they suddenly invalidated the faith and veneration of Nequeteje&#8217;s Virgin by its people.</p>
<p>It was until some 10 years ago that a brave priest removed the image from altar arguing that it needed some fixing, at the beginning people was reluctant to let their highly venerated image of the &#8220;Gioconda&#8221; leave but the priest kept arguing about the need of the fix and finally he took it with him. To these days he has never returned the image to its altar, but people has never forgot her and still venerates the &#8220;Virgen de Nequeteje&#8221;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New Hampshire is more than lakes and mountains and bucolic landscapes. Every summer, both seasoned actors and young hopefuls stream into the state from all over the country, signing up for one play or for an intense summer stock experience at one of the many professional theatres opening their doors to locals and tourists.</p>
<p>Peterborough Players, in the southwestern part of the state, is kicking off its 2006 summer season with performances of Tuesdays with Morrie, a play adapted from the bestselling book of the same name. The book&#8217;s author, Mitch Albom, and playwright Jeffrey Hatcher wrote the adaptation, which will star James Whitmore and his son, James Whitmore, Jr. Following Tuesdays, the company will perform The Gin Game, Hobson&#8217;s Choice, The Winter&#8217;s Tale, Fallen Angel, and The Turn of the Screw, A second company at Peterborough Players will enact two children&#8217;s plays, adaptations of Charlotte&#8217;s Web and The Secret Garden.</p>
<p>The Lakes Region Summer Theatre near Lake Winnipesaukee also has ambitious plans: They will offer five plays in ten weeks, putting its cast of ambitious young actors through their theatrical paces and offering an invaluable training experience in their chosen profession. The plays they will produce in 2006 include Nunsense, Kiss Me Kate, and The Pajama Game.</p>
<p>The result for the audiences is high-quality theatre, sometimes with transcendent performances, by casts of determined, disciplined professionals or aspiring professionals, and great entertainment for a summer evening. And who knows? The audience might just get a glimpse of the next breakout star!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you are going on a trip to get away from it all and you have a younger child you need to look at it from their point of view.</p>
<p>Often preschool age children won&#8217;t remember a lot about the vacation as they get older, and that is okay they live in the moment and we want to make those moments as happy as possible.</p>
<p>A couple years back I took my daughter on a trip to the mountains, we took in a lot of fun things and she had a great time. We even caught a live production of Dora the Explorer which I thought would be the highlight of the trip. Don&#8217;t get me wrong she loved it and talked about it for quite awhile.</p>
<p>She also enjoyed climbing in the mountains and seeing a waterfall, the chipmunks we saw, the zoo, and the tram we took up the mountain. We also played lots of car games so even the riding in the vehicle part of the trip was pleasant.</p>
<p>She loves to look at pictures from our vacation and talk about all the fun, but she said we don&#8217;t have pictures of the &#8220;funnest&#8221; parts of the trip. I took a look at all the pictures and thought what didn&#8217;t we get pictures of, I couldn&#8217;t remember anything special we had done that I didn&#8217;t have documented on film.</p>
<p>When I asked her what the best part was she said swimming in the pool with me, and staying in the hotel room watching television and reading books.</p>
<p>That got me thinking, we go swim frequently, we watch T.V., and we read a lot of books all the time, so what was so special about doing it on vacation.</p>
<p>I think it was several days of undivided attention, there were no phones or computers or meetings or chores to interrupt our fun. We just got to spend a ton of time together without anyone competing for my attention.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, we still take in the fun sightseeing attractions when we are on a trip but I make sure we take time to spend a day or afternoon at the pool as well. Never do we try to pack so much fun in that it isn&#8217;t fun.</p>
<p>We also try to plan an overnight trip or two to a fairly close town that has a pool. We just go and relax, swim and spend time together. This is especially fun in the winter when we go to a hotel with an indoor pool.</p>
<p>So remember when planning your next getaway, it doesn&#8217;t have to be fancy or expensive to create lifelong memories your child will appreciate as they grow up.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve all heard the phrase &#8220;seize the day&#8221; but how many of us actually make a conscious effort to grasp each opportunity as it comes? When we think about taking opportunities we rarely think about the simpler ways in which we can make good use of our time. Have you even ever explored your own hometown?</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve all been faced with the task of showing visitors around our town. Someone comes to visit and you are required to show them the best of what your area has to offer. This is when we start realizing how little we know about our own area. It can be embarrassing not knowing your own town.</p>
<p>You can combine learning about your town with a break. Why not turn the experience into a fun filled adventure?</p>
<p>Everyone needs a break from the mundane realities of the daily grind. So what if you can&#8217;t afford to go far away for some adventure why not rediscover your own hometown? Avoid the embarrassment of being the only one who has not explored where you live.</p>
<p>There are so many places that you pass by without visiting every day. Why not take some time to rediscover your own home.<br />
 Short breaks can do just as much good as long ones and will make as much of a difference to your stress levels. And everybody needs a break. And it doesn&#8217;t have to cost the earth.</p>
<p>Make a list of all the places you have been meaning to visit but haven&#8217;t gotten around to &#8211; in your own town. The list can serve as a useful reminder that there is plenty to do and see on your own doorstep!</p>
<p>Use the internet as a resource. Check what kinds of activities you have never tried or places you have never seen.</p>
<p>Contact the Chamber of Commerce in your area. They will be able to assist you find new activities and make some excellent suggestions. You can also try phoning the chamber of commerce in neighboring town. Often the Chamber of Commerce will have a list of things to do and they will know about what kinds of activities offered.</p>
<p>Try to arrange yourself an action packed weekend getaway close to your home. Visit some local tourist attractions. Look for bed and breakfasts situated close by and let them look after you. Enjoy the feeling of being looked after and pampered, and maybe even steal a few recipes to use later!</p>
<p>Check your yellow pages and bus services for ideas. Tourist attractions are a great way to spend some time in your own town.<br />
 A short getaway might be just what you need. Try a fun mini break without going too far and rediscover your own town. You will be glad you did!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Go light and ultra versatile with Palm Treo 700w, It&#8217;s like a bikini instead of a wetsuit when you experience Palm&#8217;s Windows mobile Treo</b></p>
<p>You don&#8217;t have to have your weekly deep tissue massage from carrying around a cell phone, PDA, iPod MP3 player, laptop and camera in your briefcase or purse. With the thin and lightweight Treo 700w it&#8217;s a mobile paradise. The Treo 700w has a robust operating system and good reception and call quality.</p>
<p><UL> Look at all these great features:</p>
<p><LI> Voice recognition dialing</p>
<p><LI> Download data audio and video content at Broad and cable speeds on Verizon&#8217;s ED-VO network.</p>
<p><LI>Connect to Bluetooth headsets, car adapters and GPS receivers more seamlessly with built-in Bluetooth 1.2 software.</p>
<p><LI>Compatible accessories to its predecessor Treo 650.</p>
<p><LI> When your Treo 700w rings, it is easy to be thoughtful and courteous. There is a ringer on / off switch to silence the cell phone ringing. Don&#8217;t be a victim of cell phone rage. Turn your 700w to vibrate mode before a business meeting or a blind date.</p>
<p><LI>Easy, accessible one-handed navigation with the Treo 700w, you can do most tasks without using a stylus pen, which can be awkward and stressful.<br />
 </UL></p>
<p>Take your home office into the field. Run programs you already know including: Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint mobile, Internet Explorer mobile media 10 player mobile, MSN messenger, Outlook calendar, contact pass and messenger on the Treo 700w&#8217;s versatile Windows mobile 5.0 operating system.</p>
<p>Add capabilities to fit any project or job. Make the Treo 700w even more versatile with the following built-in features: Bluetooth 1.2, 1.3 megapixel camera, WiFi card, Bluetooth wireless headset, Verizon ED-VO Internet high-speed connectivity and one-hand navigation.</p>
<p>This article provides information about Treo 700w&#8217;s new Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system. Many of the built-in features listed above will make the new Treo 700w irresistible. Here are some of the questions this review will answer: <OL><br />
 <LI> What sort of high-speed service does Verizon&#8217;s reveal offer?</p>
<p><LI> The emergence of one button push e-mail technology.</p>
<p><LI> Does the battery have a long life line?</p>
<p><LI> What about Microsoft&#8217;s new Windows mobile 5.0 operating system?</p>
<p></OL></p>
<p>No more days of holding a 2X4 to your ear. Now when you answer a call with the new Treo700w you&#8217;ll notice its light weight and easy-to-fit design ergonomics.<br />
 When any new PDA/cell phones hits the market, there is usually a lag time before the compatible accessories are available. This is not true with the Treo 700w. If you own the Treo 650, you can use all your Treo accessories with the Treo 700w.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s one major change or upgrade to 700W from the Treo 650. Now you&#8217;ll notice two soft buttons right below the LCD screen of the Treo 700w. These launch the Windows mobile 5.0 application.</p>
<p>The green telephone icon button on the far left will let you make a cell phone call. The red telephone icon, on the far right, lets you enter your cell phone call. The Windows button to the right of the green telephone icon launches the Windows mobile start menu.<br />
 The OK button to the left of the red telephone icon button is used to close a current open application, so be sure you&#8217;re ready to quit the task at hand before you press the button.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s nice about the new Treo 700w QWERTY keyboard is that the keys are squarer and better spaced apart than its predecessor. At night, if I need to e-mail someone, the illuminated keys make it easy for me to see what I&#8217;m typing on the screen.</p>
<p>New Treo 700 Screen with New Features</p>
<p>What I like about the new screen is the quick dial window at the top of the LCD screen. With this feature it&#8217;s easy to type in the name or telephone number to dial.<br />
 Also, near the bottom of the 700w screen is a web search window. Simply type in the keyword phrase in right away, the 700w will launch a Web browser and give you the results of your keyword search. The other handy feature is that you can now program VCR-like keys. These hotkeys can be programmed so you can easily delete, or skip to the next message just by pressing these hot keys. You can easily hit: play, next message, back, pause and delete.</p>
<p>Lower Screen Resolution and Long Battery Life</p>
<p>The old Treo 650 came with a higher screen resolution at 320 x 320 pixels. With the new Treo 700w the resolution is lower at 240 x 240 pixels. It is still easy to read at night and in the bright outdoors. I checked e-mails, looked at my schedule for the day and called someone with one hand. Because of the centrally located 5-way navigation pad, the Treo 700w is comfortable for both left handed and right handed people. The 700w comes with an expanded SDIO expansion card slot, which allows the addition of up to 2 GB of storage space.</p>
<p>I used the Treo 700w for full three days before I needed to replace the battery. This is definitely an improvement over the older 650 model. Also, the flash ROM built-in the Windows buffs up things, which drastically reduces battery consumption, a good thing. If you&#8217;ve just spent 45 minutes typing in a proposal and your battery runs out, don&#8217;t pull your hair out, the data will be stored on your flash ROM.</p>
<p>Verizon ED-VO Fast Internet Option</p>
<p>Verizon claims that their high-speed ED-VO can transfer data at 400 to 700 kilobytes per second. Comparing both the Treo 650 in the new 700w, I loaded a web page five times faster on the 700w using Verizon&#8217;s ED-VO network than on the Treo 650. Browsing on the 700w is comparable to my broadband cable Internet connection at home.</p>
<p>Alert Friends and Family with One Push E-Mail</p>
<p>Move over Blackberry. The Palm Treo 700w uses a polling process to send an SMS from your server to the Treo 700w. This tells the Treo 700w to get ready and receive a message.<br />
 What is polling? You can program your 700w to pull e-mail to your device on a regular basis. For instance, every morning at 8 a.m., you can program your e-mails to be downloaded from your server to the Treo 700w device.</p>
<p>True one push e-mail is when you receive an e-mail, and that e-mail immediately is sent to your Treo 700w device, that&#8217;s called push e-mail. Unfortunately, push e-mail won&#8217;t be available until the next upgrade. When will that be? None of us know unless you have a psychic friend that has an 85% accuracy level. You can ask your psychic friend to tune into the cosmos and ask when Palm will roll out the true push e-mail to market.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s never been easy to stay in touch inexpensively with friends and family. Now you can by e-mailing them a positive message from your Treo 700w.</p>
<p>What is Wireless sync from Verizon Wireless? This is an extra service that you need to subscribe to from Verizon wireless. It is not available on the market today. But down the road, you will be able to redirect your e-mail from your home computer or office server directly to your 700w smart phone in real-time.</p>
<p>Windows Mobile 5.0 Operating System</p>
<p>Last spring, Bill Gates announced the launch of Windows mobile 5.0 operating system. Now you can view: pod casts, photo blogs, download news RSS feeds, and stream live TV shows and music from your TV tuner enabled desktop PC at home to your Treo 700w. I did not find the 5.0 operating system to be buggy at all.</p>
<p>One Very Amazing Converged PDA/Phone</p>
<p>In the past, converged devices offered low-quality cell phone reception and call quality. Essentially, if you owned an older converged device, it amounted to a very expensive PDA and a bad cell phone. Many folks would have to carry around a regular cell phone just so they could make and receive cell phone calls.</p>
<p>The Treo 700w radio stack and Windows mobile 5.0 is completely revamped. Now there are less dropped calls. Plus, it offers higher call quality. With Verizon Wireless, my provider, I found the call clarity to be greatly improved compared to the Treo 650. I purposely made a three-way conference call to two associates of mine: one located in Sedona, Arizona and the other in Long Island, New York. During the entire conference call, I heard everyone just fine. The call did not end abruptly due to poor reception. Overall, the Treo 700w smart phone exceeded my expectations.<br />
 Thanks you Palm, the Verizon network and Windows mobile 5.0. Now I have mobile paradise. I hope you will too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you planning a trip with your little ones to visit Mickey? Here are some ways to spice up the magic:</p>
<p><b>Tip #1 &#8211; Meals with a Disney flavor</b></p>
<p>Build up the excitement by cooking creative meals that have a Disney flavor for your kids. For example, you can buy uncooked pasta in the shape of Mickey Mouse and whip up a delicious and healthy meal for your princes and princesses with that. &#8220;The Gourmet Pantry&#8221; in DTD carries it. You can call them at 407-828-3886 to order.</p>
<p><b>Tip #2 &#8211; Avoid the crowd</b></p>
<p>Crowds are annoying especially when you have kids with you, so it is wise to go when schools are in session.</p>
<p><b>Tip #3 &#8211; Hands-free</b></p>
<p>Considering bringing along the Playtex Hip Hammock if you are traveling with an infant/toddler. If your child is between 15 to 35 pounds, the hammock works perfectly. It keeps you hands-free while waiting for the bus, standing in line, tending to your older kids and browsing in shops. You can also take your toddler on rides with the Hammock. This is handy. It will make your trip just that much more enjoyable.</p>
<p><b>Tip #4 &#8211; Save your sanity</b></p>
<p>Kids get impatient while waiting in line, so bring snacks and toys to distract them. Take frequent breaks to prevent exhausting the kids. In the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, kids can chill out at Ariel&#8217;s Grotto and Donald&#8217;s Boat. Ariel&#8217;s Grotto is a great place for kids to cool off in the kids water area and the interactive play area of Donald&#8217;s Boat allows children to ring the bell and steer the ship of Donald&#8217;s ill-fated leaky. You may wish to arrive at the parks early in the morning, so that your kids can have a nap in the afternoon. This will keep them refreshed for the parades and fireworks.</p>
<p><b>Tip #5 &#8211; Research rides</b></p>
<p>It is important to research rides beforehand because young children may be frightened by loud noise or darkness. If your child is too young to ride Test Track at Epcot, a nice alternative is to duck into Test Track&#8217;s gift shop/ exit and let him/her ride on the cars in the shop.</p>
<p><b>Tip #6 &#8211; Dining options</b></p>
<p>There is a free Baby Care Center in each Disney park, so head for one when you are looking at some peace and quiet when feeding your baby/toddler. These centers are equipped with rockers, high chairs, and toys. There are even formula and baby food for sale. Do remember to plan one character meal because your trip won&#8217;t be complete if the little ones don&#8217;t get to mingle with their favorite characters.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nestled inside beautiful Southern California; lies an entertainment park that could give any Disney World a run for their money. Knott&#8217;s Berry Farm, one of the most popular amusement parks in the country, is a great place to visit if you are looking for something adventurous to do. From scary attractions to live music and theatre, this destination is clearly a hotspot for children and adults alike.</p>
<p>Due to the fact that Knott&#8217;s Berry Farm is almost always crowded; it is recommended that you visit the area during off seasons. However, if you have no choice, you should try getting there right when the park opens. As a result, you will not have to wait hours just to get on one ride. This way you can enjoy the entire park, before the rush begins. Although Disney Land is right down the road, Knott&#8217;s Berry Farm still acquires a large crowd. While Knott&#8217;s Berry Farm is a hot destination, the prices are a bit expensive. Adults are $40 each, whereas children are roughly $30. Although this may sound like quite an increase in price, the majority of amusements parks are rarely ever less than $30. Fortunately, Knott&#8217;s Berry Farm only asks for $7 when it comes to parking. This way you can enjoy yourselves from morning to night, without having to worry about taking out a loan just for your car.</p>
<p>Surprisingly, many people feel that Knott&#8217;s Berry Farm is much better than Disney Land. This is because the crowds are not as enormous, and there are rides that fit everyone&#8217;s needs. From thrilling roller coasters to water rides that plunge you into the dark waters, these rides are for people who are dying to experience adventure. Not a rollercoaster fan? There are also calmer rides, which are great for children and petrified parents alike. If you enjoy Halloween and the creepiness that comes along with it, most would recommend that you try attending Knott&#8217;s Berry Farm during late October. They generally turn the entire park into a massive haunted house during the evening. For this reason, older crowds tend to flock to this destination, in hopes of being frightened.</p>
<p>Another unique feature of Knott&#8217;s Berry Farm is that there are also restaurants and shops there. This is a wonderful alternative to rides, especially if you are the one person in the family that wants to run away from them. Aside from cuisine and great places to splurge, there are also live shows that are available around the clock. Most travelers like this option, as it gets tiring to go on rides all day. Luckily, you can enjoy a bite to eat, see a bit of entertainment, and continue going on the thrilling coasters.</p>
<p>Regardless of what type of person you are, Knott&#8217;s Berry Farm is one of a kind. While Disney Land is another great destination, Knott&#8217;s provides more of a unique atmosphere. It has not been overdone and while it is busy, it does not require you to wait hours for one ride. This place caters to all ages &#8211; especially those who are in their late teens and early 20&#8217;s. With this kept in mind, Knott&#8217;s is certainly a fun and distinct place to visit.</p>
