www.aacefcu.org – Anne Arundel County Federal Credit Union Internet Banking

Filed under: Finance — Tags: — Paul @ 1:11 pm

The official website of the Anne Arundel County Federal Credit Union is http://www.aacefcu.org/.

Credit unions are banks that are organized as cooperatives, that is, owned by the members who use the bank. Many credit unions offer better terms to their members for both deposits and loans, and credit unions often have a community development mission as well as serving their members. Most credit unions are operated by public or non-profit organizations, such as universities and governmental bodies.

The Anne Arundel County Federal Credit Union is a credit union owned by the Anne Arundel County government employees. It has only 2 physical branches, one along Riva Road, and another in Millersville. Because of the limited number of branches, it is frequently more convenient for members to do their banking over the internet.

At www.aacefcu.org, you can perform many common banking tasks, such as checking your account balance and your monthly statements, as well as transferring funds among your AACE FCU accounts or to external accounts. You can also pay your bills online, or request a loan. So, for all your AACE FCU banking needs, remember to visit www.aacefcu.org.

www.totaldramaisland.com – Total Drama Island Interactive Game

Filed under: Entertainment,Film & Television,Games & Toys — Tags: , — Paul @ 11:43 pm

www.totaldramaisland.com is the official website of the Total Drama Island, the animated series, and also the website where you can play the Total Drama Island Interactive game.

Total Drama Island (TDI) is an animated cartoon show that pokes fun at reality television shows. TDI is produced in Canada for Teletoon, and is shown in the United States on the Cartoon Network.

The show takes place at the fictional Camp Wawanakwa, and features twenty-two teens which participate in challenges and games every episode. Initially, the twenty-two campers are divided into 2 teams for the games, and the losing team gets called to the campfire at night, where Chris, the host, passes out marshmallows to those who can stay, and those who are voted off do not get marshmallows and must walk down the Dock of Shame to the Boat of Losers, on which they will leave the island and, according to Chris, “never, never, never, ever, ever, ever, come back, ever.” Basically, the cartoon is a bit like Survivor, but with really over the top stunts and jokes which make fun of the real contests that take place on real-life reality shows. If you are looking for something different and funny to watch, you may want to give TDI a try.

The TDI official website itself is a parody of websites of reality TV shows. You can view fake biographies of the “contestants” in TDI, and short summaries of each episode. The site also features the Total Drama Island Interactive game, which is accessed through the “Games” button. Every week, the site releases a new mini-game based on the week’s episode, and you can play the games to earn points. If this is your first visit to the site, you will be prompted to register with your name and address after you have finished a game so that your points can be saved. You get marshmallows for your points, and the marshmallows can be used as money in the game to buy various items. Your points accumulate, and at the end of the season, when all twenty-five mini-games have been played, the top twenty-two players with the highest points are entered into a draw, and the winner will get to do a short voice cameo in an episode.

So, if you are interested in the TDI show, or are interested in playing Total Drama Island Interactive game for a chance to do a cameo on the TDI show, visit www.totaldramaisland.com.

www.post-it.com – Printable Post-it Coupons

Filed under: Shopping — Tags: , — Paul @ 10:49 pm

Get printable Post-It coupons at www.post-it.com.

Post-Its are those little pieces of note paper with a re-usable strip of adhesive at the back, so that you can remove and re-stick the notes wherever you want. Traditionally, they are yellow notepads, though they now come in multiple colors.

History
Interestingly, Post-It’s history began with a failure. In the late 1960s, scientists at 3M were reformulating their adhesive formulas, and one particular formula gave a weak adhesive that came off easily. This formula was widely regarded as useless, and was canned until the late 1970s, when someone had the idea of putting the weak adhesive behind little pieces of paper to use as movable notes. The first Post-Its came in yellow because the scientists used scrap yellow paper which was available to them. The product was initially a failure, because consumers were not used to the notes and could not think of uses for them. It became a success only after free samples were widely disseminated, and it became clear that the notes were very useful for lots of tasks, such as leaving messages, organizing thoughts, and jotting down to do notes. Today, they are a fixture of any office. In fact, PostIt has become so successful that 3M has made many derivative products from the same weak glue, including Post-It notes of many different colors and sizes, PostIt flags, and PostIt tags.

3M has even come up with a version of Post-Its with a stronger, but still removable, glue, and calls it PostIt Super Sticky Notes. The Super Sticky Notes stick better to rough and uneven surfaces, such as office walls and doors. All these products are available at the PostIt official website, www.post-it.com.

How to get Post-it coupons
At www.post-it.com, you can also sign up for PostIt Perks, the PostIt Note fan club. Once you’re signed up, 3M will email you various special offers and promotions on their products. From time to time, they also offer printable Post-it coupons on www.post-it.com for you to print out. So, to obtain PostIt coupons or join the PostIt Perks fan club, just go to www.post-it.com.

During the application process, you will be provided with a list of acceptable documentation that can be used to satisfy the requirements.
