A History of Tobacco ~ Seeing
the Magic of the Cigar Rollers of La Pintada ~ By Matthew Atlee
- Tobacco is a powerful plant. It pulls hard on the nutrients in the
soil. It pulls hard on those who roll it into cigars. And those that smoke
it are pulled in by its powers of relaxation. In the central province of
Cocle, Panama there lies a small-town named La Pintada that few people
have ever heard of. And in this small-town a long tradition of making high-quality
cigars has persisted over the last two decades. If you like tobacco and
beautiful landscapes, then you should visit La Pintada.

Tax Saving Ideas on Foreign Assignment ~ How
To Save Taxes Overseas ~ By Steven Y.C. Kang - It's a good idea
to check out what your tax options are before you head off on your new
overseas posting. One of the things that you might want to think about
is whether or not you can recharacterize your income - read: using existing
tax laws to limit the amount of taxable income the government can take
out of your salary. This means you will have more inflows of cash and more
money to explore the exotic in your new home.
Point Your Mouse Cursor To A Job in Japan ~ How
to Find A Job In Japan Before You Leave ~ By Celeste Heiter
- Japan is a country with a beautiful mix of the modern and the mystical.
Maybe the greatest commentator from the West on Japan was Lafcadio Hearn
who wrote about the beauty of Japanese gardens in the 1890s. For him the
the key to appreciating a Japanese garden was learning to understand the
beauty of stones - stones shaped by nature, not men. And for Hearn the
trees, stones and flowers of a Japanese garden were aesthetically mesmerizing.
Teaching English in a country with mesmerizing gardens, wonderful food
and a mystical sensibility might just be the land to replenish your soul.

Thoughts on the War ~ U.S.
Leadership Falters With War On Terrorism ~ By R. M. Koster -
R.M Koster's writing explores the ideas behind what motivates people. And
sometimes the motivation you find behind people as well as the policies
that emanate from them are not as serious as they should be. This is what
seems to be appearing on the horizon for the U.S. If you are going to throw
around an idea like war as if it was a penny headed for the gutter, then
you just might lose. But the U.S. has always found a way around that with
good leadership and very competent people. The US needs to find its way
back to the moral principles that made it decent. And really no one knows
this better than Koster. Rarely have I met someone whose conversation is
never misplaced or dull. |
Guess
What? You May Be A Member Of The American Family ~
...And Your Long Lost Uncle Sam Wants You --- And Your Taxes! ~ By
David S. Lesperance - If you are a US Citizen living outside
the US then the US government is looking for you and your tax-dollars.
The US government has become more aggressive in finding US citizens who
have moved offshore to escape high taxes. This aggressive policy towards
tax collection is part of Washington's new war on terrorism which is demanding
great government resources. Your dollars will go to pay for homeland security
and more police who will be pursuing a policy of eroding individual rights
and liberities. Look out!
