Imagine, you just received a new video iPod and the thought of having a completely mobile movie player is exciting. You think of all the places that this little device will keep you entertained. Hmmm, school? Ok, maybe not, but the places and events will be endless.

What next? Do you have movies for it? Videos?

The video iPod (depending on the size) holds a substantial number of movies and videos and if your taste are varied you'll find great comfort knowing that you can have all of your favorites in one location. One of the most advantageous benefits of the video iPod is that you can also have this media on your desktop PC.

As a result, you'll want to make sure you have DVD burning software loaded on your computer. But this is not necessary to fully enjoy the video iPod. Once you download the movie or video you can simply transfer it to your iPod, however if you want to be able to watch the movie on your DVD player while at home then you might want to think about this.

Finding movies or videos to download can be a daunting task. And while doing your research you'll need to be aware of several key benefits that the better services have:

1. The service must continually add new movies;

2. Must have over a million movies, TV Shows, Music Videos, Songs and Games;

3. Must be easy to set-up and easy to use;

4. Must allow for unlimited downloads and;

5. Must be affordable.

While doing my normal nightly surfing I found a service that meets these "must have" benefits. This service gives you access to DVD quality movies for your iPod on the internet with over 1 million always updated movies available. You'll quickly and easily be able to search, download and watch as many movies as you want for your iPod device.

This service makes transferring downloaded movies to your iPod device a very easy task and there is no need to buy extra software.

New Zealand was not on our horizon. Italy occupied that prime spot. Martha had never been to Italy and my last visit had been twenty-five years previous. It was time for another.

But Italy was to be pre-empted by an unexpected newcomer from out of left field, the South Pacific to be exact. New Zealand was to push aside Italy and to demand our presence three times before Rome was again to appear on the horizon.

As with much of life, the idea of visiting New Zealand came from out of the blueor more exactly, out of the once-blue, the once-blue skies of the Indian ocean that were now clouded by smoke from the burning forests of Indonesia..

In August 2002, Martha and I were on Pangkor, a small island off the western coast of Malaysia. It was there that we met new friends from New Zealand, emissaries so convincing that we were to visit New Zealand not once, but twice in the next year.

But it was our third visit, in October 2006, that is the subject at hand; a visit so utterly wonderful that we would like others to know that the unexpected can be expected in a place apparently so familiar yet so unlike any other place on the planet.

Our previous visits had acquainted us with the natural beauty of New Zealandits magnificent lakes, mountains, countryside, etc. But this time, it was our accommodations that were make our visit so special.

On the northern coast of the south island, Nelson is home to artists and artisans and New Zealands largest contingent of Americans. Usually warm and sunny, Nelson was to be unusually stormyabsolutely perfect weather to stay cloistered in an extraordinary rented home on Nelsons waterfront.

Imagine a house designed by an architect for his own use, now available to holiday renters such as we. Aptly named Haven Light by its present owners, it is built into a cliff overlooking the bay. Intimate and yet on three levels, Haven Light is like no other accommodation.

We drove our rented car into its garage. The automatic door opened onto a round-about, a lazy-Susan built into the garage floor. The parked car could then be turned 180 degrees with only a slight push. Our car, now facing the street, could be easily driven into traffic instead of having to be backed out of the garage, an ingenious solution to an otherwise difficult situation.

The master bedroom was on the first floor but we stayed on the more intimate third, where, from the bed, we could see not only Tasman Bay but also our favorite restaurant, The Boathouse, just down the street. Wed discovered The Boathouse, perhaps Nelsons finest, on a previous visit and that it was closer than almost the next corner was an added bonus.

The jewel of the trip, however, was still yet to come. It was to be in Devonport, across the bay from Auckland that we were to discover the beauty and charm of Earnscliff. Perhaps the most beautiful and unique place I have ever been.

I have stayed at the Hassler in Rome, the Ritz-Carlton in Kuala Lumpur, the Palazzo Palumbo in Ravello, the Palais Jamais in Fez and lHotel in Paris; but Earnscliff in Devonport, New Zealand is every bit their equal. At once intimate and grand, it was the high point of our visit and a place that should not be missed

Im afraid, however, that soon most Americans will not be able to stay at Haven Light and Earnscliff, not unless they protect themselves from the coming collapse of the US economy. Since our visit in 2003, the US dollar has dropped 25% against the NZ dollar.

The situation has now worsened. The US debt and its fiscal and trade deficits have have grown exponentially. The US dollar is going to drop again and much farther and if Americans want to visit Haven Light and Earnscliff, they will first have to find a way to survivethecrisis and protect their assets.

Literally, telephone service is transformed with unlimited calling services. This specialized service gives you the opportunity to go wireless. The unlimited package gives you a maximum broadband speed of 8 MBps (Megabytes per second), but this can vary depending upon the distance to your local telephone exchange.
