Electronic Cigarettes, between truth and fake

Is there a thing that could be called an ELECTROINCE CIGARETS!
Yes, it is not only real, but also used by a very famous persons like "Katherine Heigl"
Electronic Cigarettes Send Shockwaves Across America -- Heigl Claims to Have Finally Quit Smoking by Using This Remarkable New Device
NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 11/17/10 -- Actress Katherine Heigl, the star of "Knocked Up," "Life As We Know It" and "Grey's Anatomy," recently appeared on "The Late Show with David Letterman" and touted the benefits of eco friendly cigarettes, also known as e-cigs. During her interview, the conversation turned to smoking and Heigl surprised Letterman by pulling out her eco friendly cigarette and smoking it on stage.
When speaking with Letterman, Heigl discussed her addiction to cigarettes and she spoke of the difficult experiences she had while trying to quit smoking. She explained that she tried different remedies to kick the habit, but nothing seemed to work.
"I tried everything," she said. "I did the patch, I did the gum... and went bananas," Heigl said.
After her initial comments on smoking, Heigl pulled out an electronic cigarette and began to smoke it. "Bet I'm freaking you all out right now, huh?" she said.
Heigl then went on to explain exactly what an electronic cigarette is. She pointed out the battery, the filter and mentioned that the unit contained liquid nicotine. As she explained to Letterman, the smoke that she produced while on the show was actually just water vapor.
"You blow out water vapor so you're not harming anyone around you and you're not harming yourself," she told Letterman. "You have no excuse now to smoke a real cigarette. You really don't."
As it turns out, she's not the only one in love with e-cigs or electronic cigarettes. Heartthrobs Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp, as well as veteran sportsman Jose Canseco are also e-cig advocates. In fact, many Americans are now puffing on eco friendly cigarettes, with many finding them a better alternative to smoking traditional tobacco cigarettes.
Heigl's appearance on "The Late Show with David Letterman" underscores the steady increase in popularity that electronic cigarettes have experienced in recent years.

Any way the famous people lead their admires to act as they do.

The secrets of a happy finance life

Life is money, or Money is the life?
It is not so easy to say sp inspite of the surveys have shown that:

Money is one of the main causes of stress. The recession increased money woes for many of us - playing up our fears of joblessness or putting more pressure on us to make ends meet on a smaller budget. Although those in their twenties are known to struggle with uncertainty, personal finance is something that the younger generation can immediately start to take control of. Kimberly Palmer, author of Generation Earn and personal finance expert for U.S. News and World Report, shares several secrets to how young professionals can take a positive approach to becoming financially secure. Here are 10 tips from her new book:

    * Don’t skimp on what makes you happy: Whether it’s a new pair of fall boots or daily java, the quickest way to destroy your budget is to make it impossible to follow. That’s why you should cut the costs that don’t matter to you, which might mean cooking more meals at home or living in a smaller apartment, while splurging (guilt-free) on the ones that do.
    * That includes investing in your career: Since your profession is what has the potential to make you money, that’s the last place you want to cut costs. So whether it’s time to revamp your office wardrobe, take a career advancement course, or work with a coach, make the investment now so you can see the pay-off later.
    * Track your money: Starting now, write down everything you spend money on for the next two weeks. You might discover that you’re letting small costs stress you out while ignoring the bigger bank account leaks.
    * Enforce the $100 cut-off: For bigger purchases, there’s almost always wiggle room on the price. So before buying anything over $100, be sure to research your options first by hunting around online, checking comparison sites such as PriceGrabber.com, and even negotiating with sales clerks.
    * Get a second job: Consider taking on a freelance assignment or two. The average worker now has 10 different jobs before age 36, which means we need to think of ourselves as entrepreneurs, and always be on the lookout for new opportunities.
    * Plunge into that stock market: Yes, investing can be a scary thing. But it’s also the best way to earn money over the long-term, so don’t wait until you feel like you have “extra” money before learning how to invest in index funds and other low-cost options. If you have access to a retirement account, such as a 401(k), through your job, then start there.
    * Plan on funding your own retirement: The days of pensions and a fully-funded Social Security trust fund will soon be over. That means we have to fund much of our retirements on our own. There’s only one way to do that – saving a lot, and starting as soon as possible. According to the Transamerica Center for Retirement, single women, on average, need to have saved $500,000 by the time they retire.
    * Take baby steps: The easiest way to get started is to begin by saving just two percent of your income. Then, slowly increase that to four percent and higher. Soon, you’ll be funneling away 20 percent into your retirement account and headed toward blissed-out golden years.
    * Simplify: Are there ways you could simplify your life while also enjoying it more? Maybe you’d rather watch less television and bike to work instead of driving. Blogs on the pursuit of simplicity, such as smallnotebook.org, can provide inspiration.
    * Think like a celebrity: Ever notice how all the biggest names join up with good causes or even launch their own charities? Wyclef Jean, Michael Phelps, and Ashton Kutcher are just a few of the celebs who have donated their time and money to causes they believe in. While they have access to more resources than the rest of us, we can often make similar moves on a smaller scale. If you’ve noticed an unmet need in your community, think of what you could do to help. Perhaps getting together with friends to raise money would let you spend more time together while also giving back.

Now you can think carfuly, what you want and how to let your dream be as real as possible to get a better finanicing life.

Let's try it and see.

Qatar organizes the world cup 2022, and Russia won the right to host 2018 FIFA World Cup

After a few days of Mr. FIFA detections, the result was the following,

suddenly FIFA said that: Russia and Qatar are the best for organizing FIFA World Cup.

Qatar won the right to host the 2022 World Cup, defeating a bid by the United States in a vote by FIFA's executive committee Thursday.

Qatar will make history by hosting the first World Cup in the Middle East. Australia, South Korea and Japan were also bidding for the 2022 tournament.

FIFA also awarded Russia its first World Cup in a vote for the 2018 tournament host. Twenty-two FIFA executive committee members cast their votes by secret ballot in Zurich. The other contenders for 2018 were England, Spain-Portugal and Belgium-Netherlands.

FIFA approved an ambitious bid by Qatar that includes a plan to spend $4 billion on air-conditioned stadiums in a country where summer temperatures typically exceed 118 degrees.

Qatar bid leaders said the heat would not be an issue in Wednesday's final pitch to FIFA voters.

"In Mexico in '86 there was a great deal of heat and altitude. Despite this it was a wonderful World Cup," said Bora Milutinovic, Mexico's coach in 1986 who was brought in by Qatar's bid leaders. "The heat will not be a problem in Qatar. They have air-conditioned stadia."

By choosing Qatar, FIFA rejected a bid by the United States to host the tournament nearly three decades after a highly successful World Cup. The 1994 World Cup set an attendance record of 3.5 million that still stands. The U.S. bid for 2022 projected 5 million tickets will be sold, generating $1 billion in ticket revenue.

Former president Bill Clinton, actor Morgan Freeman and U.S. national team player Landon Donovan were part of the USA's final pitch to voters Wednesday. Clinton, the honorary bid chairman, spoke of the country's strong infrastructure and the growing popularity of the game among Americans.

"You won't have to worry about construction deadlines or ticket sales," Clinton said during the U.S. bid presentation Wednesday. "Even in 2010 in South Africa the United States citizens accounted for the second largest block of purchased tickets after South Africans. You will be free to elevate this game as never before and show how it can make the world a better place."

In my oppenion, I think they made Qatar to belive that they will do organize the CUP, but after 12 years what will heppen? let's wait and see.
