There is so much to do and see and while my time spent there was all none stop, I still didn't see all of the city or perhaps as much as I would have liked. Before I went I did check out websites to get the top places to see and top things to do as well as have friends telling me places to check out.

While there I got to see the Empire State Building, Central Park, Times Square and do the usual shopping in Macy's and Bloomingdales just to be able to get one of the bags with the name of the store on it for keeping. Another stop we did was the Metropolitan museum of art

I had such a great time and wish I could have stayed longer. I hope to visit the city again in the near future and next time I will be taking more information with me and getting more tips on the things to do in New York while there.

One site that I found useful was http://www.trustedtours.com. It lists prices of tour rides amongst other things, as well as tips on where to go and what to see. It's a great resource for city info on all the top city destinations.

You can sign up to their newsletter and get information about your trip sent direct to your email before you go and you can even use the site to check out of destinations for future trips, such as Las Vegas

Also make sure to check the online travel guides for more information.

There are many of them out there now and I'm curious to know what ones people actually visit and find most popular?

The popular ones I would say are Facebook and Myspace, but what other ones are out there that people use?

I'm curious to know...

The tool provides a lot of useful detail, graphs, charts and predictions in its detailed Valuation Report. It's a brilliant valuation tool for buyers as they can quickly get a lot of useful information on a site and its likely worth. It's also great for sellers as it helps set a BIN price AND provides them some inside information on their own site that they were not aware of.

The tool and more information about it can be found at http://ebizvaluations.com/

They did a twist last night after the eviction where Rex's girlfriend was put into the house. This is his reaction...

It can't be helped and maybe if another opportunity arises I will be able to do it then.

You can find everything from software to health and beauty. You can evenBuy Office Furniture direct from the site at competitive prices.

The company, Shopping.com, an eBay company, pioneered online comparison shopping and today is one of the fastest growing shopping destinations on the Internet. With millions of products, thousands of merchants and millions of reviews from the Epinions community, Shopping.com empowers consumers to make informed choices and, as a result, drives much higher conversion to sale and value for merchants.

You can use the ecommerce search engines from the comfort of your home to find great deals and bargains.

It's not.

The cycle is from Scotland to Paris!!!!!

In total I will be cycling about 220 miles.

It will be over a week and all proceeds will go to the charity.

I actually want to do it as it will be over my 30th birthday, which I feel not only will be a great achieivement for me, but I will be accomplishing something to help others. I will also be getting to see a country I have never seen.

I'm going to post more about it on my own personal blog and perhaps some of my blogging friends will want to sponser me.

The following press release was issued..

Every year here in the UK the music festivals start to take place and one big one here in Scotland happens to be T in the Park. I have never been to it, but I have a lot of friends who have. I just have never been one for camping and having to use a public portaloo all weekend. I have heard some horror stories and quite frankly it's enough to scare me from visiting T-in the park for life!

Usually there are some great headliners at this festival but I have to say this year has to be one of the worst years for artists in well....ever!

They have had the likes of the Who headlining back in 2006 and this year it's the Sugarbabes!!! For a weekend cost of over £100 ($160) you would be expecting better than the Sugarbabes...that just my opinion anyways.

About a year ago I started listening to some online radio stations, some I found to be not as good as others. One in particular that has been around since 1997 is XFM is actually a favourite of mine and one that if you spend a large amount of time on the internet and love music, then this is one you really should check out.

Over the last few years online radio has started becoming more and more popular, with professional radio stations going online, along with amatuers who can purchase a liscence to start their own radio stations at a monthly or yearly rate.

XFM has been going since 1997 serving alternative rock/indie to London, UK. It has now expanded onto the web. Not only can you listen to your favourite rock/indie acts, you can listen to podcasts, check out their blog and even enter in for some great competitions and keep up to date with all the top music news all from the comfort of your keyboard.

If you're a rock/indie fan like myself, then XFM is one online radio station worth checking out and adding to your bookmarks.

This year wasn't that important as there were new UK football teams in this competition as none qualified, but being a football fan it hasn't stopped me catching most of the games.

I wanted Holland to win this year, but now that they have been eliminated I think I'm going to go for one of the underdogs like Turkey. It's always good when one of the teams that aren't expected to win actually does, like Greece did four years ago.

Italy play tonight and it looks set to be another good game.

I'm not a big fan of cover versions and usually any punk/emo band who try and remake an old classic fail miserably, this time however, I'm quite suprised.
