THE LAST EMPEROR

Authored by Leandro Delgado

I logged onto and upgraded our television package. I was flipping through the channels and came across a movie that caught my eye. It had just started, so I started watching it. It was called “the Last Emperor”. It won an Oscar when it came out in the nineties. After watching it, I know why it won an Oscar. It was won of my top ten favorite movies. The movie is based on the story of China’s last dragon emperor who was born at the turn of the last century. He ended up being a dummy emperor. There were a lot of changes going on in China at the time when he took throne as a child at the age of three. By the time that he reached sixteen, he realized that he was confined to the Forbidden City and was not the actual ruler of China, China had become a Republic. It chronicles the emperor’s life from a young child to an old man. As a young man, he is driven from the Forbidden City. He makes some bad decisions and gets involved with the Japanese, which ultimately leads to a decade long prison sentence. He gets out when he is an old man. It is a great movie.

Georgia Football

Thanks for the article from Isaiah Gaines

I have been watching college football for as long as I can remember. More specifically, I have been watching Georgia Bulldog football for as long as I can remember. If there was a game on any Saturday in the Fall, we were watching it. Now that I’m an alumna of The University of Georgia, I’m an even bigger fan. I used to go to every game in Athens, but I’m a little older now and that’s not as realistic as it used to be. I have the best intentions every season, that I’ll make it to every game, but responsibilities start piling up and before I know it, it’s fifteen minutes before kickoff and I’ve completely forgotten about the game. The great thing is, though, that with tvbydirect, I can watch pretty much any game from the comfort of my own home. Most of the games are televised, and I can order the ones that aren’t. It’s normally a pretty nominal fee, especially considering the fact that if I weren’t able to order them I would be forced to go spend more money at a bar that is televising the game. I used to be really disappointed that I couldn’t go to Athens for every game, but I am getting more and more used to relaxing on my couch watching my beloved Bulldogs.

Getting creative with dorm room dining

Guest post written by Lauren Guthrie

Now that I'm a college sophomore, I know the ropes of dorm room living. I opted to not get a meal plan this year though because I'm going to do a fun little experiment with dorm room dining. I cooked a little bit in my dorm last year, but I never really planned ahead for it. I think that it would be a whole lot easier if I planned ahead and knew some really easy recipes.

Before classes start, I'm doing my share of research to figure out how to fix some really easy meals from the comfort of my dorm room. While I was doing that, I ran across the website www.Clearwirelessinternet.net and sent it over to my mom, who's been shopping around for a new internet service provider.

I've already found some great ideas for dorm room dining, including some creative sandwich ideas. More than just peanut butter and jelly. I think those simple recipes are really what I'm going to use the most rather than the ones that will involve venturing out to the hall kitchen.

Canadapost laptops

I came across a good website for anyone who is looking to compare laptops.  Especially if you are looking for a HP laptop check out the link.  I recently switched to a laptop computer and it is great.  You can take the laptop anywhere and they are really light weight.

The website is a great place to compare different brands of computer including HP, acer, dell, toshiba, etc.  The laptops can also be compared using their very convenient and helpful price filter that has a minimum and maximum price feature.

Check it out.

Must have at least 3 friends to make money

For all of the loyal howtomakeadollar readers out there, I want to first apologize for the agony you have been experiencing over the past six months waiting for a new blog entry!  I'm sorry for the long wait.  Howtomakeadollar has learned a valuable lesson over the past 6 months.

Previously we blogged about how to have a successful blog by having friends.  Unfortunately, we did not specify how many friends you need.  We have recently learned that you need at least 3 friends.  

3 friends = maximum money making potential

Howtomakeadollar is one friend short of what is needed for wild-world-wide success.  One of our friends went missing and the other one has decided to vicariously run for president of the united states in 2012.  Needless to say these two friends are unavailable to blog, thus the lack of blogging for the past 6 months.  We are one friend short of keeping things going.  

In the meantime, we will try and make 3 new friends to help us be successful.
