The profession of big rig trucker is an admirable. It takes a certain kind of person to be able to spend countless hours on the open highway with no one to talk to apart from others in the same line of work. But now that satellite internet has become more affordable, the road need not be so lonely for truck drivers everywhere.

The internet has always been a mode of communication for anyone with friends and loved ones far away, but one market seems to have previously been overlooked. Truckers spend most of their working lives away from friends and loved ones, making it hard to maintain strong ties. Thanks to satellite internet, truckers have a whole spread of communication outlets to choose from. They can send emails, write instant messages, use the internet to make calls and even do video chats to simulate a real face-to-face conversation.

Truckers can also look to the internet to keep up on daily events in news and pop culture. Nearly every newspaper on the planet has a website so it can be checked in every language. YouTube is a fantastic resource for entertainment like music videos and all of those catchy viral videos that have become so ingrained in today’s culture. Furthermore, there are thousands of online game sites to keep anyone busy for ages. One could even start up a side career playing online poker or blackjack and retire early—please look into your local Gambler’s Anonymous chapter if this becomes a serious problem.

Satellite internet also allows truckers access to a ton of online movie and television websites where they can gain access to the latest films, episodes of their favorite TV shows, and documentaries. With all of the media out there, it’s nearly impossible to exhaust all of the options, making for endless entertainment. Best of all, most of them are free and don’t require any downloading—they’re streamed directly to your computer.

Having satellite internet also comes in handy for work-related issues, like checking the weather before getting trapped in a serious storm. Access to satellite maps is also useful if a wrong turn was taken somewhere along the way and an escape route needs to be taken or if traffic deems an alternative route necessary. On top of that, there are a number of websites that cater specifically to truckers, such as the American Trucking Association website which features news of interest to truckers as well as information about upcoming industry events. There’s even a trucker dating and social networking website called Trucker Passions for anyone in the market for love or friendship.

The only real downside to satellite internet is that there can be some complications with blocked signal, particularly during poor weather conditions. Stormy days will have to be spent like they were back in pre-internet days, so it would be well advised not to toss any reading that may have previously been brought along on the road.

Bored with the cable connection at your home? It neither gives you quality images nor quality sound. During the stormy nights when the ghastly wind hits you hard and you have no other choice but to sit at home and watch TV, your cable TV will not be working. Even if it is working the TV shows will become very hazy and the sound output too will be poor. You will also get very limited choice for watching the television. Cable TV offers you only a few channels and there are no packages that can be customized according to your needs. You will not even be able to order your favorite movies and other stuff on cable TV.

If you are disappointed with the cable TV connection, you can always take necessary measures. What is the point sticking to a service that neither gives you quality nor quantity? It is time to change. With the emergence of satellite TV the world of TV entertainment has got a whole new dimension. With it you can enjoy amazing visual and sound output that seldom gets disrupted. During the stormy weather the TV signals transmitted through the satellites do not reach your satellite TV dish very easily and hence the images and sound on TV gets distorted easily. But once the weather calms down a bit the satellite signals begin to transmit again. Thus you can then get the same high quality audio and visual output that you used to get all the time. But in case of cable TV services this thing never happens. During the storms, the cable TV service providers do not offer services. Even when the storm is over, it still gives you poor quality images, worse than the quality of visual output it produces generally.

The quality of program is also something that you have to care for. The programs and shows available on dish channels are of high quality. The contents of the programs include anything from sports, movies, talk shows, dramas to news and business related programs. These programs are shown on a variety of dish channels. If you want you can also order your favorite movies and videos from pay-per-view channels and video on demand feature of dish TV. On the other hand, the quality of content is very poor in most of the shows that are shown in cable channels across the nation. The poor visual transmission makes the situation even worse. The stereotype content of the shows is sure making you feel bored. Thus you will not be able to enjoy your TV time well.

Price is another important factor. You get a value for money service from Dish Network. with dish TV at your home you can enjoy a plethora of entertainment channels that offer lots of entertaining programs from sports, movies, news and a lot more. You will get these amazing programming packages at a low price. The programming packages come as low as .99 per month. On the other hand the price of cable TV services are going up at a rapid speed and at the same time the services provided by this technology is not up to the mark. Thus you can have a lot of advantages with dish TV.

I thought I would put together some facts about the realities of hurricane season, where to go, what to avoid, how to still travel, etc…

Official Hurricane Season:

June 1 – November 30 is the official hurricane season for the Atlantic region. This would affect the entire east coast of the United States, Bermuda, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Eastern Mexico and all states bordering the Gulf of Mexico. As we know, hurricanes can turn into major flooding, tornadoes, etc…once it begins to travel on land.

The Northeast Pacific basin has a broader peak with activity beginning in late May or early June and going until late October or early November with a peak in storminess in late August/early September. Translating into travel, this means the Pacific Coast from Canada down to the West Coast of Mexico.

Typically, the worst of the storms for the Atlantic are between mid August thru the end of October. Guess when some of the best travel deals to the Caribbean and Mexico are? You got it, hurricane season. Hurricane season is a gamble, there are years these islands and areas are not hit, but there is no guarantee.  If the price is right and the timing is right for you, book the trip, get trip insurance or check on the airlines/hotel/tour operator policies on hurricanes. 

Cruising: if you love to cruise just to cruise and want a steal of a deal, book it during this season.  The ship will reroute out of harms way. The only time the cruises are cancelled is when the hurricane is so severe; the ship can not leave port. However, if you are booking a cruise because you want to visit very specific islands, September/October may not be the best time to do this.

My favorite time of the year to travel to the tropics tends for great weather and low pricing is either May or mid November to mid December (taking out Thanks giving week).  You still get those amazing “off-peak” hurricane prices, but your chances for hurricanes are low and the weather is usually terrific.

Booking Caribbean destinations in the fall:

An interesting phenomenon on travel bookings is when people book. All of the talk of hurricanes tends to turn people off from going to the Caribbean. However, some of these amazing prices are being advertised in the fall, but are not for Fall travel. Look carefully, many of these great deals are for winter travel – completely out of hurricane season.  It seems when people are bombarded with news of hurricanes, they are not apt to book a trip to the places that are anywhere in range of the storms- even if the trip is 6 months away. The closer we get to “high season” which is Christmas to Easter, the more expensive that same trip will be. However, the savvy traveler will grab these deals now and still stay dry!

Here are my picks of travel deals that are being promoted now, but for travel at the tail end of the hurricane season or winter:

Cruising:
Here are a few specials that are running in the fall but are for Winter departures:

7 Night Caribbean Cruises starting at 9 (this is an amazing “peak Season” price, if you check back in December – the price will be much higher!

3-7 night cruises fall and winter sailings from 9.

Tropical & Caribbean Vacations:

5pp for air &  3nts All inclusive  in the Riviera Maya (quiet area near Cancun) including airfare for November travel, this is an incredible deal – still hurricane time – but much less of a gamble

Luxury in the Dominican Republic where some of the coolest all inclusive resorets are located, if you view this page, you will clearly see the low prices for air and 3-7 night all inclusives for each time of the year. Even early December, which is a great time to go is very decently priced – for example, a four star all inclusive resort with airfare for four nights starts at 9 in December!

My best friend forever Megan, got married last year. Believe me, I tried to talk her out of it; Or I at least advised her to wait awhile longer before taking the plunge.

She was in love though, at least with the idea of marriage. Scott, her husband is also a long time friend of mine. In fact, I introduced the two.

After a three month world wind romance, they announced their engagement at a dinner party I was having, ironically, to deliver some good news of my own, but more on that later. Anyway, the short amount of time between the day they met and the day they became engaged, was not why I advised against the two tying the knot. It was the actual date of the wedding.

They were to be wed in just a few weeks and not one moment of their courtship had, or would have, fallen during football season.

American football is a rite of passage for most men. In fact, most men spend more time and effort developing their relationship with football than they would ever think to with their significant other. It’s just the way it works, and believe me, it as deep, intimate and very personal relationship!

If you have not spent time with your man during the rutting season, you could be in for a real eye opener. Language you may never have heard come out of his mouth before, and a sudden and complete disregard for your feelings, especially on Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays and sometimes Thursdays, could be a rude awakening as to the monster that really lies beneath that coat of shining armor.

Not all men fall victim to the call of the wild and are able to keep this temptress in check. You have no idea however, if your man is one of the very few who are immune to the intoxicating allure of a bunch of fat men running around in tights slapping each other on the rear ends. It’s best not to take this chance.

Football brings out the absolute worst in a man, even more so than him playing a round of golf and suddenly developing what they like to call the “Shanks”.

If you can travel blissfully through the months of August-February, the absolute height of football season, and come out the other side having not vomited at his atrocious behavior or that of his friends, who until the weather began to turn cooler, you never even knew existed, well then you have my blessing.

One quick tip if you are so head over heals in love that you just can’t wait until football season comes around to get a complete picture of the man you intend to spend the rest of your life with, there’s always this thing called the NFL draft. It’s sometime in April and ESPN and the NFL network devote about a 1000 hours to the whole stupid thing. If your man blocks off that weekend as a “no date” zone, your liable to be in for some very stormy weather come the final days of summer.

My advice, and I speak from experience here, is that if your guy actually watches more than a couple of hours of the NFL draft, consider it a symptom of horrible and debilitating things to come. If your man is currently a social drinker, he won’t be come kick off so consider the condition terminal.

Oh, my good news? The Washington Redskins reported that their ancient and out of touch coach was resigning and possibly, just possibly the team could finally remove their heads from their oversized butts and actually start winning for a change!! I’m interested to see what they intend to do in the draft this year.

With a particularly bitter winter bearing down upon giant stretches of the country, people are starting to wonder when spring will ever be on the way. Aside from the inconvenience of stormy skies and chilly days, winter is one season that brings with it more trouble for households than spring, summer, and fall combined. For those living in colder climates, a harsh winter can cause a myriad of problems, from pipes freezing and bursting to increases in car accidents and damage to homes after branches freeze and fall down.

But staying warm, cozy, and safe during winter is easier than ever before. With the combination of new technologies and common sense, most households around the country are able to make the sort of improvements to home security they need for the colder months without spending a ton of money. Here are ten easy ways to stay safe and sound no matter how low the temperature or what sort of blizzard happens to be raging outside.

10. Keep a close eye on your space heater. While it’s a great way to keep drafty spaces warm, it also poses a major safety hazard. Keep flammable objects, pets, and small children away from space heaters, and always have an adult in the room when a heater is on.

09. Install carbon monoxide detectors. In chillier months, the chances of a household experiencing carbon monoxide poisoning is much higher, since more fuel-burning heating devices, like fireplaces and wood stoves, are being used. A detector is a huge asset to your family’s safety during the cold months. Some home alarm systems come with carbon monoxide detectors, so check to see if yours does.

08. Shovel the walk as frequently as you can. If a big storm is coming, you want your driveway and your walkways to be cleared in the event that there’s an emergency.

07. Be prepared to leave at a moment’s notice. Sometimes, bad weather means the need to leave, whether it’s to a friend’s house where the power is more reliable or to a hotel. For a ready-to-go kit, blankets, matches, water, and nonperishable food are all musts.

06. Only use conventional heaters for heating. Do not try to use your gas-powered stove to stay warm, as it might leak fumes and cause trouble for members of your household.

05. Don’t neglect the pipes. Always leave a trickle of water running in all of your faucets so that they don’t freeze and burst. This is especially crucial if you plan on going out of town and turning the heat down.

04. Befriend a chimney sweep. If you have a chimney, making sure that it is clear and ready to work is a major step before trying to use it for the season. A number of home security mishaps could have been avoided each year if someone came by to check up on the chimney before an overzealous family lit it, only to find it blocked with leaves. Don’t let that be you!

03. Only burn logs. It’s not a good idea to use other materials in your fireplace. They might burn too fast, let off way too much smoke, or worse yet, have poisonous gases. Stick to the basics–chopped firewood from ash, maple, or oak trees.

02. Be ready to stay, too. If the heat goes out, you’re going to need a number of supplies to survive overnight. This means extra layers, many blankets, flashlights, extra batteries, candles, a battery-powered radio to keep up with the news, and food and water for all members of the family, including pets.

01. Have the car ready for winter. Home security extends to your vehicle, which might need to be used right before particularly bad weather strikes. To ensure that your car is actually going to work when the moment strikes, it’s best to have ample antifreeze, snow tires or tires with more tread, and a well-charged battery. Also be sure to keep blankets in the car, in case of any emergency. You’re going to need to stay warm, after all. And never, ever use your car as a replacement heat source! It’s dangerous to run the engine and sit in the car for extended periods of time with the window closed.
