The squeaking wheel gets the oil. It does not pay to be too timid. Most problems will not correct by itself. Staying quiet will not get us what we want and the other party will continue to be unaware of our predicament. All of us have an obligation to contribute for the betterment of the world around us.Travelers are one of the squeakiest groups of people in the planet. Rightly so because they deserve every penny of the money they are spending. Blogging is a form of service to fellow travelers and is potent way of voicing our concerns and opinions as Carl Larson recently did. An over fanatical ticket agent charged Carlson with the usual $50 bike fee when he checked a folding bike contained in a box within the standard weight and dimensions. Why? Because it is a bike and regulation states that bikes are charged $50. Larson blogged about his complaint on the Bicycle Transportation Alliance website. Other websites immediately picked it up.

A unique and festive holiday tablescape can easily be created with some planning, simple materials and your imagination. Just like dressing up for special occasions, little touches can make a big impact on how your table looks to your guests.One design trick to add height and visual interest to your tablescape is to use a pretty cake stand as a focal point, or several of varying heights if you have a large table. Cake stands are now readily available in many different styles, shapes and price points. A cake stand will make whatever is placed on them seem more important -- and this need not be a cake! Hostesses now use cake stands to hold all types of foods -- hors d'oeurves, vegetables, cookies, pies or tarts. Besides presenting edibles, cake stands can also serve as a base for other centerpiece designs. Put out a selection of candles of the same color but differing shapes and heights, or fill a tiered stand with matching votive candles instead of cookies to create an eye-catching centerpiece.Another favorite way to relieve the monotony of a flat tablescape is to cover your table with one tablecloth. Then place plastic or cardboard boxes (like ones for photo...more
