I was searching for car dealers near my area when I found this website. Its called Wexu, (I don't know what does this name
stands for (wexu.com)) but it provides quite huge database of all local car dealers in any state, or even in cities of
America. For example, lets say if you are looking for a Ford car dealers in Chicago, the you can just checkout Ford Chicago or similarly Toyota Houston for Toyota car dealers in Houston. I tried even smaller

Wedding Makeup That Lasts
Wedding Makeup that Lasts
On your big day, you want your wedding makeup to last. Not only that, but you want to look stunning in your photographs. In order to insure that your makeup will last as long as possible, it may be best to hire a professional to take care of it. However, here is some advice to keep in mind even if you do hire a makeup artist.
Use a makeup base. Several cosmetic companies offer products that go on under your eye makeup or lipstick that help your makeup last. Eye makeup base provides a layer that your eyeshadow and eyeliner can adhere to. This prevents creasing and helps the colour stay on longer. They offer similar products for lipstick. However, try to find a lipstick base that is also moisturizing. Some products contain ingredients that dry the lips out. You'll need your lips to stay nice and moist so you can smile all day.
Get rid of extra shine. A shiny face looks even worse in photographs, especially if the photographer uses a flash. After washing your face, apply an oil controlling product. After that absorbs, apply a thin layer of loose powder. Apply foundation and the rest of your makeup as usual. Follow up with another thin layer of loose powder. Carry some pressed powder with you so you can control any shine as the day progresses.
Lasting lipstick. One of the first things to fade is your lipstick. Follow these tips that will help your lipstick last. First, apply a moisturizing lip base. Then, apply lip liner in a shade that is a little darker than your lipstick. Use a soft pencil. Fill the lips in with the pencil. Apply one coat of lipstick and blot gently. Apply another coat of lipstick but this time do not blot. Press a thin layer of facial tissue gently to your lips. Using a large brush, apply a thin layer of pressed powder to the tissue. The tissue acts as a screen, letting in only a small amount of powder. The powder helps the lipstick set and keeps it on longer.
Pack a makeup bag. No matter how hard you try to create a lasting look, you still may need to do some minor touch ups throughout the day. Pack pressed powder, lipstick, mascara, and eyeshadow just in case your colour needs a boost.

Internet, HTML and Blog
The Web was predicated as the 4th dimension or 4th generation of media at the inception of the World Wide Web in late 1980s. Printing, radio, and TV are refereed to as three dimensions of traditional media. In 1989, I was reading an Oreilly books talking about the Web when only universities and government agencies had access to the Internet via text-based and Unix-based interface at the time. The Web would be really nice I though.
There’re three milestones in the course of the Internet becoming a true media for average people, not just a tool for scientists and scholars.
The first milestone is the Internet that use a standard communication protocol TCP/IP. Without a simple yet powerful standard, a computer network will never be able to grow into a global network that connects millions of computers seamlessly.
The second milestone is the HTML, which give the boring Internet a colorful interface. Anyone could master the basic HTML tags for creating Web pages. Just like the TCP/IP, HTML is a simple and powerful standard for rendering web pages. The simplicity again prevails. The Web, without participation of mass, will never be a interactive media.
The third and the latest, sure it won’t be the last, milestone for the birth and popularity of the new generation of media is the Blog. Blog refers to both a software tool for easy publishing and writing styles that is conversational. Wordpress.com, one of the most popular free blog hosting services, caters a community of bloggers close to half million. There goes Spring Snow Blog. With the blog software, one can easily setup a new website in less than 30 minutes without knowledge of computer or HTML. Once again, simplicity prevails. Technorati.com is a blog search engines that indexed 55 millions of blog posts. Blog search engines work better that general search engines, like Google or Yahoo Search!, when it comes to locate a blog site or specific blog posts.

Tips for Finding a Good Name for Your Website
With hundreds of millions of websites are on the net, finding a good name for your new website has become more and more challenging. If you do a domain name search or whois search, you’ll need to spend hours to finally confirm a name which isn’t registered already. There’s a few tips for coming up a good and unique domain name.
1) Use the combination of two word phrases that is meaningful - For instance, you are searching for a domain name for an article directory, anything related to article is likely taken already - ezine articles, article city, article depot. Recto is a much less used word somehow related to writing or articles, it’s taken too. You’ll have better chance for a unique name if one of two words is used less frequently.
2) Use neutral name - A domain name doesn’t have to be explicitly related to your online operation. A directory site doesn’t have to have the word directory in it. Intel works better than Intel Computer, and Walmart works better Walmart grocery store.
3) Be Creative - Domain name could be very creative. Tropical Rain would well be a good name for a general blog site. “A small orange“, in fact, is a name of a small web hosting company.
4) Try a different top level domain option - .com is favored by most businesses and individuals. If you can’t register a domain name with .com, try .info, .us, .net, or .ws.
The difficulty in searching for domain name is partly due to those domainers who register thousands or more of domain names at a few dollars per domain or less. They’ll sell for hundreds, thousands or even more when someone is desperately wants a domain name they own. On popular webmaster forums, you see almost everyday that webmasters are willing to pay for a few dollars for domain name suggestion.
It takes time and creativity to come up with an ideal domain name, and a kill domain name will make a huge difference too. It is estimated that type-in traffic is about 5-15% of search traffic. The domain name such as “candy”, “gifts”, or “wine” will worth a lot of money.

Thank You Candy Makers
With all this fuss about chocolates and candies, and after spending several years of relishing, chewing, and nibbling each morsel of those amazing sweets, I’ve often thought of all those goodies I’ve tasted and the ingenuity of its creators. After much pondering, I finally decided that the producers of the best candies I’ve eaten ought to be given proper credit. Thus, I’ve summed up the top three companies (not arranged in any order) that produce the best confections in the candy industry and cited examples of their finest products: Willy Wonka Candy, Ce De, and Haribo.
I have always craved for this two-flavored tiny tangy, crunchy candies in a small handy box since I was in grade school - the Nerds. And I have Willy Wonka Candy to thank for. Willy Wonka products are a classic favorite of mine and this company is known for its range of chocolate bars. In fact, their most famous product is the Wonka Bar – the only milk chocolate bar that contains crunchy graham pieces inside.
If you’re wondering who created those sweet, fruit-flavored, tablet-style Smarties (also known as Rockets outside the US), you’re looking at Ce De Candy. What I really like about this company, aside from the fact that they produced Smarties, is their concept of edible accessories – the Candy Necklaces and Candy Watches. Imagine accessorizing yourself and eating out of your wrist at any given time. Amazing right?
And then there’s Gummy Bears, those raspberry, pineapple, orange, strawberry, and lemon chewy sweets. Voted as “Kids Superbrands 2006”, Haribo’s the producer of the hugely popular Gummy Bear. Haribo’s success with Gummy Bears set off their production of other gummy animals and objects such as worms, hamburgers, and cola bottles (my three favorites among all their products).
I read somewhere that, “It's never too early or too late for chocolate.” For me, it’s not just chocolate; it encompasses all types of sweets you can come up with. No matter what people say, candies and chocolates ARE for everyone and can be eaten during any occasion (they’re especially handy in those depressed, I-need-time-to-think occasions). And with all these, we really should be grateful to those that took their time to be able to produce these excellent confections… Thank you Candy Makers!
