New Computer Recommendations

May 8th, 2008 by q456397r

I always get asked, “What’s a good computer to buy?”. I’m a computer technician and everyone wants to know what to buy when it comes to information technology.

Well…what is a good computer? There are many. I think all of the major computer companies make good computers but here is the all important key. Do not buy the cheapest desktop computers or laptops you can find. There is a reason they’re cheap. The components inside the computer are low budget pieces of hardware. These types of computers will not perform well and certainly won’t last long. You will have problems with the bottom of the line computers and you won’t be happy with it. I always recommend buying the best computer you can afford. Figure out how much you can afford to pay for a new computer and then spend the whole amount. You can pick any popular computer manufacturer like IBM, Dell, HP, Compaq, etc. All of these brands are really good as long as you buy a model that is not the base model. If you buy the top of the line model, you will be very happy and it will most likely last a very long time.

The secret to buying good laptops or desktop computers is to buy the best computer you can afford. Remember this, You get what you pay for.”

Top Reasons To Use Panama Banks For Offshore Banking

May 8th, 2008 by q456397r

Panama was once treated as an uncooperative tax haven by the United States and international banking community. Panama has changed into one of the to locations to bank offshore.

Panama was forced to revise its laws against money laundering and has developed a banking system that has rock solid banking secrecy laws to protect consumers privacy. Panama’s banking system is carefully monitored by the international offshore community. Banks in Panama are offer a stable and friendly choice for those concerned with leaving their money in a third world country. Many are surprised at how advanced Panama really is in terms of technology and infrastructure to facilitate international banking.

There are many advantages to using banks in Panama over banks in other offshore jurisdictions. If you incorporate an offshore company in Panama and conduct your business offshore from Panama you can still make deposits to your Panama bank account and not be taxed by Panama on this money.

The banks in Panama have all of the normal banking services that north americans and europeans expect to offer their clients. There are also three different types of accounts that you can set up at a Panama bank including; merchant accounts for processing credit cards, personal bank accounts and corporate accounts. Corporate accounts can be set up for bearer share corporations allowing for virtual anonymous ownership.

Access your account internationally by using the bank’s online interface. Many banks offer the ability to transfer money internationally via bank wire through their online interface. Couple this will a stable climate and you don’t have to worry about making a transaction in a hurricane.

Panama banks allow you to open a basic personal bank accounts fairly easily with a little harder process for bearer share corporation owners. Several pieces of identification including your passport and drivers license will need to be notarized as well as reference letters from a bank and a professional who knows you.

A Panama bank account is a viable option for many people and only you will know if it is right for your personal or corporate banking needs.

That said, Panama is no longer considered an uncooperative tax haven and as such are not under the scrutiny of prying eyes as they have been in years past.

Save money by shopping for a car loan

Save money by shopping for a car loan

When buying a new car, only a select few people have enough money to do so in cash. If you are one of the many people who will need to take out a car loan, you need to keep one thing in mind: shopping for the best option will pay off in the long run. As you can imagine, there are hundreds of lenders who offer car loans. If you find the one that best suits your needs, you are sure to save yourself a lot of time, money, and stress over the course of your payments.

What should you look for when trying to find the best car loan? First and foremost, you want to secure the best possible interest rate. The lower your rate the less money you will pay each month.

If the dealer is not willing to help you find the car loan with the lowest rate, you can shop around on your own. Many people think that they have to rely on the dealer

Handwriting Analysis May Shed Light on Palfrey’s Suspicious Death

May 7th, 2008 by q456397r

Friend & Manager Says Palfrey ‘Feared for Her Life’; Believes Behavior Before Death Disputes Hasty Suicide Ruling

Aaron Dykes / Jones Report | May 6, 2008

Writing sample from 2004 letter sent from Palfrey to Strizack.

A new handwriting sample [See pages 1 - 2 - 3] obtained from Palfrey’s building manager, Joseph Strizack, could be instrumental in determining the cause of ‘DC Madam’ Deborah Jean Palfrey’s suspicious death.

Strizack provided a copy of a handwritten letter Palfrey mailed him in April 2004 in hopes that a comparison with the alleged suicide letters found by authorities could shed light on the truth in what he believes was murder.

In a cursory analysis of the alleged suicide letters, it is readily apparent that the writing was done slowly, carefully and very meticulously (as one might in forging a permission letter from a parent).

A comparison between Palfrey’s 2004 note shows a difference, for example, in the number “2″ (which is curled in the suicide letter but not in the note) and in letters like “T.” Other characters are more alike, while the overall writing style is clearly similar, and if forged, then obviously imitated.

“She insinuated that there is a contract out for her and I fully believe they succeeded,” Strizack previously told WESH 2 news.

Strizack cited a conversation with Palfrey only days before her death where she told him that she ‘feared for her life’ had been ‘followed’ in the D.C. area. According to Strizack, Palfrey said she felt ’safe’ at her Florida residence at Park Lake Towers because it has a closely-monitored surveillance system.

Strizack told the Alex Jones Show that Palfrey also confided that her client list went “from the White House on down,” including “a lot of influential people” from both political parties. Certainly, the political weight of her client list indicates reason enough to treat her death as suspicious– as silencing her would be a strong potential motive in the case of murder.

Alleged suicide note to Palfrey’s mother.

Palfrey stated on at least two programs, including the Alex Jones Show, that she would ‘never commit suicide,’ also telling Jones privately to suspect murder if she were found dead. These statements correlate with accounts from both Strizack and Palfrey’s mother indicating that she was not suicidal.

While forensic analysis and comparison could prove whether or not Palfrey wrote the suicide letters, it may not rule out murder.

As Alex Jones has discussed in the past, political assassinations made to look like suicide are sometimes covered-up by forcing the victim to write a suicide note under threat of harm coming to their family.

As Paul Watson pointed out , many of the reasons indicated in the letters contradict the Palfrey’s stated attitude towards her impending court case and potentially serving time in prison.
