Loonie closes above parity

Filed under: Uncategorized, Amusing/Musing, Around The World - Mama BoK @ 10:46 pm

The US dollar continues to fall against the major world currencies.. and the Canadian dollar continued to raise above parity. Event the tourist we had today at our store .. was asking for our quarter to exchange to bring home. This is really strange.. because when I first came to Canada.. i remember the Americans being very indignant.. about getting their American dollars for change .. for anything they bought.

Strange as it is.. but i get a feeling that the Americans coming across this is year are way better than we’ve come across .. the last few years. I wonder if it has anything to do with the greenbacks..??

Teak Furniture

Filed under: Uncategorized - Mama BoK @ 10:36 pm

I love teak furniture, i heard from my grandma that when one buys teak furniture, you don’t have to worry that might rot no matter what the weather condition is because teak furnitures are considered gold standard. Nothing resists better than natural teak. Not only is teak furniture beautiful it is also the most robust outdoor furniture that one can buy.

Teak Chairs are the most commonly bought by my family and I. We love it because there is absolutely no maintenance require for a teak chair. My grandmother has teak furniture left outdoors for almost a century and none of them has rot. One of the reasons that teak is so weather-resistant is that it has a natural rubber content and a high oil content sort of a built-in natural water repellent. Even better, exposure to the sun actually activates the natural oils. Teak furnitures are also easy to mix and match with your leather ones for indoor use.

If you are thinking of buying some, now is the best time to do it because there is a sale on. Don’t you miss the sale now..!

So what’s all the hype.. you ask me..?? being a store that sells Halo 3 or any new games that the market has to offer…. i really can’t tell. But Halo 3 is the all time money making champion in entertainment history. Up to $170 million.. in entertainment budget in the first 24hrs after release. Fan frenzy was cited but not much about the game itself..?? Hype is another part of it and it really didn’t suck big time.

Tourism AGAIN..!

Filed under: Business/Career, Random Ranting, This Town - Mama BoK @ 7:23 pm

I write things close to my heart.. because it affects the business alot. It also affects if we are going to continue to stay in Yarmouth, and invest in this town. This morning on local news.. they wrote a small piece about the Provincial tourism official getting a earful last nite. But what is their action plan.. besides changing the stupid name on the brochure..?? (like it would ever helped..???!!??)

Business has been hurting downtown.. big time.. with Walmart and the expansion of Superstore and some other various specialty stores that sprung up on us.. during the last few years. Even we were not spared.. with Movie Gallery trying very hard to undercut us.. downtown merchants.

My question is ONLY ONE.. ! What is the action plan here..?? No more HOT AIR please..!

Drive Traffic to Your Static Pages

Filed under: Uncategorized - Mama BoK @ 7:15 pm

Driving any kind of traffic to your web pages is a calculated task, one needs help. What are static pages? A static page has content that changes infrequently, for example a biography or a course description might be static pages. Using a friendly seo software can help build static pages and we all know that one has to make your site easily accessible and to do that…one has to try to create static copies of dynamic pages.

So for anyone who wants to get lots of traffic from search engines, one has to target lots of keywords, and to get top ranking for lots of keywords, one needs to use lots of content, and to get lots of contents into the search engines, one need to build static pages and alot of it. So it’s an inter-relevant theory and actions to be taken. Like i said, one needs profession help and search engine marketing software is the way to go, for it has been used to consistently drive huge volumes of organic search traffic. The task of creating a well-optinized pages is very difficult, but if you use a Static Page builder, it a breeze.

So if you or your company wants to increase your search traffic or increase traffic and benefit commercially from increased targeted traffic, static page builder is for you.

Falling In Love With Britain

Filed under: Uncategorized - Mama BoK @ 2:17 pm

The British Rocks..!! I chose to study in Glasgow.. because I met a wonderful Englishman from Plymouth, UK. No don’t be silly, he isn’t my boyfriend, he is a much older gentleman, married with a few children and a few dogs. Someone who had stayed in the hotel i worked in during a school holiday many years ago, and he was a little hard at hearing, so he needed special attention.

Of course I love London most because it’s has got one of the biggest chinatown in UK. Hotels in London are aplenty. And if you are planning a vacation in UK, depending on your budget, you can definitely find great hotels at an affordable budget. When we were much younger.. we didn’t have all the money nor spending power, so while traveling around UK after finishing my studies, we chose a few places that we much see. Hotels in Manchester and Hotels in Birmingham were booked promptly because these are the places we had to see.

But we didn’t want to stay in those back pack hostel because we wanted to be safe… and most importantly have our own bath, instead of sharing. So a few of us, made reservations and shared a room instead. And since Birmingham is just in between Manchester and London, we just have had to go there too. But we chose the bed and breakfast, because we’ve never experienced that before. It was very affordable and very homely i must say. So whatever your budget maybe, planning is very important when you visit Britian. And it can rock your world.. if you have all your itinerary planned. Happy Holidays..!

Geez..!! It’s the Doctor’s Turn

Filed under: Random Ranting, This Town - Mama BoK @ 2:12 pm

As if they donch make enough..??!!!?? Now the doctors here in Nova Scotia.. wants more money or go on strike too..??? Local news reported that rural intensive care units in Nova Scotia may be without doctors for the next week or so. Until the doctors get a better deal with the provincial department..!!

I donch understand this..! i know the doctors are paid good here.. and just to entice them to come to Nova Scotia.. they have so many packages.. for them.. and their family. And you would think that morally the doctors wouldn’t go on strike right..??

Demographic Data

Filed under: Uncategorized - Mama BoK @ 12:41 pm

If I was moving to a certain area or a different county altogether, it would be great to get some demographic data of that county or area. But of course for a greater use of demographic datas are for marketing purpose and to consolidate all information so that a company knows which area and what kind of product or services they can offer to that particular community. With this data, you can get income, the house value, race and even marital status on any address, thus making any marketing promotion a greater success.
