Mini-Guide to New Orleans, Louisiana
by: eTravelogue.com
Famous for its French Quarter and notorious for its Mardi Gras celebration, New Orleans is a veritable carnival of sensory delights. From music to food to atmosphere, New Orleans has become a cultural staple of the United States. The historic French Quarter offers cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages, and hotels that redefine the word 'elegance.' A stay at the luxurious Astor Crowne Plaza, among others, ensures that your visit includes a healthy dose of refined pampering, and if you're going to make the most of this city, you're going to need your rest! It's hard to find better music than New Orleans jazz, and the city makes sure that visitors have every opportunity to experience live concerts by renowned musical talents from across the land.
Preservation Hall, Donna's and the world-famous House of Blues showcase both local favorites and world famous bands on a regular basis. If the kids are along, they'll thrill to the Batman ride at Six Flags New Orleans, Storyland Children's Fairy Tale Park, or just strolling through the Haunted Tour of the French Quarter. Adults can revel in the sights and sounds of Bourbon Street, including The Cat's Meow karaoke bar, and the awe-inspiring Pat O'Brien's where one can enjoy their celebrated Hurricane drink, and watch water shoot out of the ground and burst into flame in the back courtyard. For those who are looking for tamer entertainment, New Orleans houses the Audubon Zoo, Harrah's New Orleans Casino, the Musee Conti Wax Museum, and the only U.S. Mint that printed money for both the U.S. and the Confederacy.
Creole catfish and red beans and rice are local fare when it comes to dining, but for those who want more the city boasts restaurants of inexplicable taste, including the Court of Two Sisters, Bella Luna, which overlooks the Mississippi River, and the one and only Emeril Lagasse's own restaurant. Bam!! No Steeped in mythical folklore, be sure to visit New Orleans's cemeteries, and pick up a voodoo doll for that special someone before you leave for home. You never know when it might come in handy!

The ?Keyword Relevance? Myth
The ?Keyword Relevance? Myth
by: Jim Pryke
You?ve probably heard the standard advice about keywords.. ?Find lots of keywords that are relevant to whatever you?re selling, get lots of traffic, and you?ll make lots of sales?. Sounds sensible, doesn?t it?
Unfortunately, it?s rarely that simple.
To make it clear why that is, let?s start with an extreme example. For a site selling horses, the phrase ?horse pictures? is clearly relevant. In many ways, it looks like an ideal phrase. It gets quite a lot of searches. There is very little competition in organic listings. You can get very prominent positions for this phrase cheaply on most pay-per-click search engines. But you are very unlikely to ever sell a horse using the phrase ?horse pictures.?
Why doesn?t the phrase ?horse pictures? generate sales? Because the people who type this phrase into the search engines are either the parents of children who want to look at pictures of horses or...

Insurance And Ethics
Insurance And Ethics
by: Joseph Kenny
Insurance contracts are often seen as a form of gambling. That is because they appear as a type of wager that takes place over the lifetime of the policy. Basically the insurance company is willing to bet that you and your property will not suffer the loss insured against. In exchange for making this bet, and taking on the risk, the receive your premium. If they win the bet, they keep the premium, if they lose, they make the payout. In this sense, they are often compared to a type of long term financial casino.
The difference between your premium amount, and the amount the insurance company will have to pay out if the loss occurs, is simply the odds the insurance company is getting for taking on the bet. It?s just like going to the horse races and betting on a horse that pays out 10 to 1.
This view of insurance has led to a number of people and religious communities disapproving of insurance because...

Dolphin Swim Seminars
Dolphin Swim Seminars
by: Dr. Laurie Moore
Dolphins love to be in bliss. they have a wonderful capacity for
sweeping peoples' hearts into places of newly experienced joy.
I thought I was a person who felt a lot of joy all my life. However, once I experienced being befriended by dolphins, bliss took on a whole new meaning. From my encounters with dolphins I have learned that the deepest joy can fill me from the tip of my toes to the top of my head and deep in my heart. This kind of joy is unconditional. It is something I bring to situations rather than something I try to receive from situations.
Here's an analogy. If you
don't give yourself water for a long time
and then wring out a
towel day after day in search of water,
you get little. If you drink big cups each day, your body feels hydrated and full of water all the time. So you don't need to drain your water form a source that is dry....

The History of Steeplechase Horse Racing
The History of Steeplechase Horse Racing
by: Toby Beavers
The sport of Steeplechase racing dates back to 1752 in Ireland when two, half-crocked, friends settled the argument over who owned the best horse by racing to the nearest Church steeple after returning from Fox hunting. The winner actually rode right through the church where the vicar was holding a solemn funeral. Soon steeplechase racing spread to England, where in 1792, the first recorded race was held. This sport then crossed over from the Atlantic to the US, where it has became very popular.
In the early 19th century nine prominent men from New York - August Belmont, H. DeCourcy Forbes, Samuel S. Howland, James O. Green, Frederick Gebhard, A.J. Cassatt, Foxhall P. Keene, John G. Follansbee and Frederick H. Prince founded the National Association for Steeplechase. When it was first founded, its mission was to make the sport popular in the US and help it grow across the Atlantic. For...
