TRICK#1: ENJOY THE FIREWORKS!

It's not even the Fourth of July and you can still put on quite a fireworks show ---- right on you screen! Screaming skyrockets, huge bursts fill the sky, booming and thundering blasts -- even exclamations like "Wow", "Awesome" and "Spectacular" from the crowds.

Enjoy the fireworks year round at this fun site.

TRICK#2: CREATE YOUR OWN TIME CAPSULE!

This is quite resource. Here you can create a "Time capsule" showing just what was going on in the world on any date of your choosing be it birthday, anniversary, or other special date. This makes a very unique birthday or anniversary remembrance.

You can create a "one click" capsule in 3 seconds or in 3 minutes a completely customized masterpiece. In any case both versions show the headlines, prices for common purchases, elected leaders, top books, top movies, famous people born on that day plus lots of other entertaining and enlightening information customized and in printable form for you to delight your friends, associates and relatives.

Neat freebie. Nice birthday surprise

GREAT PLACES

GREAT PLACE #1: PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST IDENTITY THEFT
http://www.consumer.gov/idtheft/
Just how can someone steal your identity? When someone uses your personal information such as your name, Social Security number, credit card number or other identifying information, without your permission to commit fraud or other crimes -- that's identity theft.

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has assembled valuable information here including a raft of detail covering such topics as: Understanding Identity Theft, Protecting Against Identity Theft, Filing a Complaint with the FTC, Identity Theft Laws, and Recovering From Identity Theft,

This is a valuable site to bookmark under "Security".

GREAT PLACE #2: INSTANT DRUG INFORMATION
http://www.familydoctor.org/cgi-bin/multum.pl
Want quick and easy information on the new prescription your doctor just wrote? Does it interact with any other medications you currently use? What are the possible side effects?

How should you take the medication?

Here's a quick and easy place that answers those questions and many others. Enter a drug name or click a letter to view, information for patients, information written for doctors and to check potential interactions with food and/or other drugs.

Valuable information. Easy to access.
