1. Buy your candy on Halloween!

2. Buy candy you do not like, the ones you put to the side when sorting your own trick or treat bag when you were a kid!

An Opensource Web Development Frame Work Ruby on Rails

Ruby on Rails (RoR) is open source web development framework that is scripted in Ruby. RoR is based on MVC (Model View Controller) architecture that divides entire application into layers which makes it highly manageable and easy to maintain. RoR includes advanced application development paradigms like DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) and Convention over configuration. It follows Agile Software Development Cycle

Everyone from startups to non-profits to enterprise organizations are using Rails. Rails is all about infrastructure, so it's a great fit for practically any type of web application Be it software for collaboration, community, e-commerce, content management, statistics

Ruby on Rail is a free web application framework, which intends to increase the speed and straightforwardness with which database-driven web sites can be created and offers skeleton code frameworks from the outset. Often shortened to Rails, or ROR, Ruby On Rails is an project written in the Ruby programming language and applications using the Rails framework are developed using the Rails framework are developed using the Model-View-Controller Design Pattern.

Rails is a full-stack framework for developing database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Control pattern. From the Ajax in the view, to the request and response in the controller, to the domain model wrapping the database, Rails gives you a pure-Ruby development environment. To go live, all you need to add is a database and a web server.

The fundamental Ruby on Rails principles includes

The fundamental Ruby on Rails principles includes Convention over Configuration (CoC) and Don't repeat yourself (DRY).

"Don't repeat yourself" means that information is located in a single unambiguous place For example, using Active Record, the developer does not need to specify database column names in class definitions. Instead, Ruby can retrieve this information from the database.

"Convention over Configuration" means a developer only needs to specify unconventional aspects of the application. For example, if there's a class Sale in the model, the corresponding table in the database is called sales by default. It is only if one deviates from this convention, such as calling the table "products_sold", that one needs to write code regarding these names.

Because of these strict defaults, Rails is often referred to as "opinionated software", which has been a point of contention for many critics of Rails.

The recent years have seen India emerge as a global hub when it comes to outsourcing an entire gamut of IT services.

Nike

Neighborhood Walking Club

We started walking with our Nike Plus back in June, and I must say the IPOD Fitness Center has made a huge difference to our commitment to exercise. We decided that since it worked so well for us, we'd put together a "Walking Club" in our subdivision. It's amazing how many people would like to get some exercise but don't want to do it by themselves. Everyone is always captivated by the Nike Plus system, since we use it to track our group walks. I see this as a good opportunity to meet some people and get into shape as we're doing it!

We have come a long way, Babe!

When I finally got my Nike Link and Ipod, I did not know where it would lead. I have never been into exercise. I work two jobs and I thought I did enough activity within the job market. I began in July walking a little almost every day. As I walked more I wanted to here someone on my Ipod, like Lance Armstrong tell me what a good job I was doing. Then it changed, I just wanted not to let my team down. I wanted to Vertually walk accross the country with my team. Then I wanted to get good grades with my son.

Secretagoge

Of all the incredible products that you offer on this site, my personal favorite, hands down, is the secretagoge plus. I have been taking supplements for the past 25 years and have always purchased high quality products. I've done my research in the marketplace and have found your secretagoge to be the best. It's priced right, is taken in a glass of water (important for hydration) and no other product consistentlygives me as much energy and stamina as this one. I can tell the biggest difference if I run out or fail to take it even for a day.

Habits are forming!!

Most habits are formed within 21 days! I have been walking 90 consecutive days. It has been fun walking and using ipodfitnesscenter.com to track my miles and days I have walked. I may not be able to walk but 10 minutes a day on some days due to my schedule. But I do make time for my walks. It maybe early in the mornings or very late at night. I would not have started walking without a friend persuading me to check out the site. I knew I needed to take care of myself and do something healthy for me for a change. Walking gives me inspiration to make it to the next day.

Don't Buy Halloween Candy Too Early!

If you're buying a home in Maryland or Virginia, there are certain factors you need to be aware of.

You'll need a reputable Southern Maryland or King George Virginia title company, title attorney or real

estate settlement company.

In both Maryland and Virginia home sales, home sellers are bound by what's known as fiduciary duty.

That means someone selling a house in either of these states needs to fully disclose any past problems

with the home such as sewer and water defects, termite infestation or improper property drainage.

There are many problems that could be invisible to the naked eye – you won't always be able to notice

these defects just by looking at the property.

When you find a Maryland or Virginia house you want to buy, you'll need to sign a purchase

agreement. This covers all aspects of the transaction, including home escrow closing, closing

conditions, and the condition of the Maryland or Virginia home at the time of the house sale.

Before you sign, however, you should get a thorough home inspection to rule out any potential

problems. Southern Virginia and Southern Maryland home inspections are done by licensed inspectors,

who can find problems in the foundation, roof, insulation, ventilation and much more. For Maryland

radon testing or Virginia radon testing, there will be an additional charge. Similarly, for Maryland and

Virginia termite inspections and septic inspections you will pay a fee above and beyond the regular

inspection.

When you buy a home in Maryland or Virginia, your title attorney (through the title company) has to

do a title search. This title work will let you know if the home seller has any liens against his or her

property. These liens could include outstanding mortgages, property tax or court payments and must be

paid by the home seller before the settlement can take place.

You'll pay closing costs during closing of your new home. Closing is when all the final papers are

looked over and verified, and both the Maryland or Virginia home seller and home buyer sign the

necessary papers. These escrow costs include the title search by the title attorney, processing fees, and

home inspection fees. In Maryland and Virginia, who pays which costs is often negotiated between the

home seller and home buyer.

You must sign a promissory note when buying a home in Maryland or Virginia with a loan. This

promises that you will pay back what you've borrowed from the bank for your mortgage. Also, if you

put less than 20% down for your home mortgage, you will need to have private mortgage insurance in

Maryland or Virginia. This protects the lender in case you default on your mortgage loan, and is

usually added to monthly payments of the loan.

Your King George Virginia or Southern Maryland real estate settlement company can assist you with

everything you need for the title search and escrow closing. Once you've finished all of the inspections,

title searches and paperwork, you're ready to take possession of your new Maryland or Virginia property.

Connie Fuksa is the owner of Foote Title Group, a real estate settlement, title company located in

Waldorf, Southern Maryland and King George, Virginia.

ya snooze, ya loose

I can't do anything about your writing. (Actually, I think you write pretty well regardless of your About text :) )
But I can help get you running. I belong to a social networking site for runners call Ipod Fitness Center. http://www.ipodfitnesscenter.com/ . Most of our folks use the Ipod and Nike+ to track our runs, but you can also use a pedometer or manully do it (yuck). It's a COOL site, and we are GREAT at helping be accountable for their exercise.

I'd love you have Ipod Fitness Center linked on your LINKs page, if you think it's a good fit with your running links.
Thanks
