Many people come to Los Angeles to get a glimpse of celebrities and the lifestyles they lead. A bus tour can get you in front of their home or take you to where the movie premieres are, but they can't get you a bird's eye view of where they live and spend their time out of the spotlight.

Los Angeles celebrity helicopter tours were designed to not only give people an amazing tour of Hollywood and the rich history behind it, but to give people a chance to see where these rich and famous figures live and the lavish properties they call home.

Helicopter tours can take you anywhere around the city but many people opt for the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. Many celebrities call this area home, as it is the movie making capital of the world, and people just want a chance to see where their favorite actor goes to work each day and what kind of palatial estate they retreat to at night.

Taking a helicopter flight will ensure the most comprehensive and exciting tour possible. Fly just feet away from the Hollywood sign, cruise above the Sunset Strip and head out over the Hollywood Hills to the private pads of many of the most famous people in the world.

The scenic beauty of Malibu is also a top destination spot on a Los Angeles celebrity helicopter tour as many of the famous people in Hollywood choose the beach life over life in the hills. Malibu boasts an amazing 27 miles of beautiful coastline that is lined with waterfront mansions and many celebrities have their primary or secondary residence in this area as it can be a much needed retreat for the hard working actors.

Aside from the obvious stops, a helicopter tour of L.A. will take you over the famous Santa Monica Pier, Venice Boardwalk and Downtown. These are all hot night life spots where many celebrities hit the town for a night of fun. There are also many world famous restaurants in these areas that get frequented by the rich and famous.

You can't go wrong with a Los Angeles celebrity helicopter tour. Excitement and adventure is what these tours are all about and many people come back year after year for the same luxury helicopter tour and a chance to live the high life for a day.

With all this great town has to offer a helicopter tour is a sure fire way to get the most bang for your buck. You can see more in an hour in the sky than you can from a week on the ground. Take advantage of the pure entertainment and excitement that a helicopter flight will give you and your friends. There's no better way to see the town.

Lindsay Lohan And The Entitlement Generation Benefit From Flowers At Work

Copyright © 2006-2013 Wesley Berry, AAF

Lindsay Lohan is well known not just for her acting ability, but also for her party girl ways. Unfortunately, it would seem the fun she has off the set occasionally affects the work she does on the set since she recently received a letter from the firm producing her latest movie, Georgia Rule, scolding her for unprofessional behavior. The letter chastised Lohan for behaving in a "discourteous, irresponsible, and unprofessional" manner, stating that she'd been late for work on several occasions and hadn't come at all on others. Many businesses that employ young people in Lohan's generation may not be all that surprised by such "bad" behavior-after all, that generation is referred to as the "entitlement generation."

People born between the years of 1979 and 1994 are members of the so-called "entitlement generation." The moniker comes from the perception that these young people believe they deserve special treatment and perks simply for showing up. Of course, most employers don't see it that way! However, a survey conducted by Wayne A Hochwarter of Florida State University's College of Business suggests that this idea really is more of a perception than a reality. In fact, Hochwarter contends that what this generation really wants is long-term career opportunities.

Hochwarter believes the reason for the attitudes projected by young people of the generation has its roots in the way they were raised. He says, "A lot of it has to do with this generation's upbringing. A lot of these children didn't have a lot of parental supervision." He went on to say that these young people are used to instant gratification because they grew up with technological advances that made fast results possible-things like cell phones, email, and instant messaging.

But, Hochwarter also says that the entire generation should not be judged as lazy and unwilling to work. On the contrary, they do want to work, they simply need to be challenged. He points out that this generation brings "significant talent, energy, and technical savvy to the workplace."

One key to tapping into the potential of these workers is through recognition when they do perform well. Letting employees know that you appreciate their hard work is an excellent way to ensure the great performance continues. And, it really doesn't take a lot of effort or money to recognize someone for a job well done. Flowers are an excellent way to let someone know how much they're appreciated. They're easy to order, cost relatively little money, and they can be personalized to fit anyone and any situation. For example, if a male employee has recently landed a big account, you might consider sending a green or flowering plant with a note offering your congratulations and specifically mentioning the event. Or, if a female employee has developed an exceptional solution that will save the company a lot of money, you might want to send a large, showy bouquet of brightly colored flowers that will really draw attention to her achievement.

So, though Lindsay Lohan's employer found it necessary to do a bit of scolding to get her behavior moving in the right direction, the production company may find that letting her know when they're pleased with her work will keep Lohan focused on the task at hand. Perhaps the next report we'll hear of Lohan's behavior on the set will involve a great big bouquet of flowers and a note of thanks for a box office hit.

Jennifer Aniston Could Webcast Her Wedding Flowers To The World

Webcasts are all the rage these days with popular shows like Big Brother, Survivor, and many others jumping on the bandwagon to show footage not available on network television. Now, it seems the trend has carried over into the world of weddings. The question is will big stars with upcoming "I Dos," like Jennifer Aniston, take advantage of Webcasting technology to show off their wedding flowers and finery to the world?

Technology certainly has brought the wedding industry a long way. It used to be that if you wanted to be able to watch your wedding on a television screen, you had to beg Uncle Herman to stand at the back of the church holding an enormous, clunky video camera. Televised weddings were only for the likes of royalty such as Prince Charles and Lady Diana. All that has changed now.

There are now countries around the country that allow the bride and groom to combine the now common practice of videotaping (more often accomplished today with the help of a professional videographer instead of Uncle Herman) with the use of web sites set up specifically to allow wedding guests to view photos from the ceremony and reception after the big day. The results is a wedding Webcast that allows guests to view the entire ceremony and other select footage while lounging in comfy pajamas in front of their own computers.

Considering how much play a wedding could get these days, it's more important than ever that every detail is exactly as the couple imagined it. Of course, one of the major components of a wedding is flowers. To be sure they're getting the best value for their money as well as beautiful flowers they'll be proud to show off to the world, the couple should search carefully for the florist that best fits their style and needs. To find the right florist, couples should watch for the following during their search:

Find a florist who displays and offers flowers in the style you find most appealing. While florists are generally adept at designing flowers to meet almost any style, for a day as important as a wedding, couples will want someone who is especially good at the style they're looking for.

Look for a florist who believes customer service is as important as the arrangements they design. If a florist doesn't take the time to listen to what the bride and groom have to say or doesn't respond to questions in a professional, knowledgeable, and friendly manner, it's probably best for the couple to keep looking. After all, planning a wedding involves enough stress without adding the frustration of poor service.

Watch for great quality. If the flowers in the shop aren't fresh, the wedding flowers may not be either.

Choose a florist with professional affiliations, such as FTD, Teleflora, or the Society of American Florists. Those florists who make the commitment of joining a professional organization are more likely to be serious about what they do and take customer satisfaction to the highest levels.

Though it's not very likely that someone like Jennifer Aniston who has kept her relationship with fiancé Vince Vaughn under tight wraps will choose to Webcast her wedding to the world, it's now easier than ever for the average bride and groom to share their special day and all the preparation with anyone who's interested in watching. And, the cost of a wedding Webcast is surprisingly low, starting at just $395...which leaves plenty of money to spend on flowers!

Building the Perfect Backyard Playground for Your Kids

English: Doesn't this playground look like so much fun? (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Copyright © 2011-2013 Giana Briggs

Every child loves to play at the playground, and nothing is better than having your very own playground in the backyard. It's as exciting to a child as Christmas morning. How do we as parents pick out the perfect outdoor play set for them?

Bringing your child with you to pick it out is key. The excitement of getting to decide which one to bring home can become one of their fondest childhood memories. Plus, you will be able to ensure that it is something they will be sure to enjoy.

Before you head to the store though, you'll need to take some measurements. Looking around your yard, you're going to need to find the perfect spot to put it. Obviously you are going to need a fairly large space, on flat ground. If you're opting for one with swings, you will need to make sure there is adequate room for your little one to swing without running into things like the fence.

Once you've picked the spot and have your measurements, it's time to take them to the store.

It can be a bit intimidating once you get there. There are so many different types of outdoor play sets to pick from. Which one is right for you?

Here's some tips to help you pick the perfect one:

Do you want one that will work for your child as he grows up? Or are you willing to get the smaller set for him now, and get a bigger one meant for older children later.

Different sets have additions that can be purchased separately. Do you want to go with a basic one right now, and add on more parts as he grows?

Material is another big decision. Wood can be much softer and inviting then the newer metal ones, but at the same time carries the risk of splinters and even catching on fire. Metal is sturdy, and will outlast wood when taken care of properly, but can be cold and slippery when the weather is on the cooler side. Not to mention if you are in a really damp climate, it can rust easily and become quite a danger to your child.

Another thing to consider is how many children you have, or will have playing on the play set. Some are designed for only a few children, while others have enough space and additions that plenty of children can play on it.

Picking out a play set for your child isn't as easy as it first appears. There are many different decisions that go into picking out the perfect one to add to your backyard. Once you've decided though, it will be well worth the time and effort to see your little one's face light up at having their very own backyard playground.

Hillary Duff's Generation May Buy More Flowers Thanks To A Loyola College Study

Best of Hilary Duff (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Copyright © 2007-2013 Wesley Berry, AAF

How do people like Hillary Duff who are in the 18 to 30 year old age range feel about flowers? Well, that's exactly what three teams of advertising students at Loyola College in Baltimore, Maryland set out to discover for a class project.

The teams conducted a survey of 150 students and young adults at Loyola College and in the surrounding metropolitan area. Once all of the responses were collected, the teams used the school's marketing database for additional research. The results led to a number of the team members to describe consumers in the 18 to 30 year old range to be "frugal, busy, and preoccupied." What's more, they may think of flowers as old-fashioned gifts that are just too sentimental or commonplace.

That's a rather unfortunate viewpoint since flowers have been proven through scientific studies to create immediate feelings of joy that last over a long period of time. They also help people to make connections with others and give a room a welcoming feel. And, according to some Society of American Florists research, 94 percent of women remember the last time they received flowers. Surely a gift that gives so much and creates such lasting memories can't be "old-fashioned" or "commonplace."

To combat such a negative attitude toward flowers, the advertising students suggested using these tactics to draw young customers:

Utilize billboards that are near colleges or in areas frequented by young people.

Advertise in college publications and on college radio stations.

Use advertising to make statements about giving "just because" flowers to gain the attention of a love interest.

Make certain radio ads air during prime driving times.

Use Internet advertisements on sites that are frequently used by young people, like MySpace.com and YouTube.

Host a college shopping event that allows people to create their own arrangements and shows off some unusual flowers.

Put people out on the street to hand out flowers and flyers in college areas.

As the saying goes, "with age comes wisdom," so perhaps one day Hilary Duff and others of her generation will come to understand how vital a role flowers play in our society and the great impact they have on our emotions-even if it takes a little nudging from some creative advertising.

Perfume is one of the best gifts for your loved ones on almost every occasion, whether it is Valentine's Day, Birthday, Wedding Anniversary, or even Christmas Day.

The 3.4oz spray bottle is a mixture of citrus scents such as mandarin and bergamot with a mix of sage and zesty thuja aromas. Aside from the compelling concert of scents, it is also an art because of the outburst of colors. The smell is as refreshing as mint mixed with sensual musk.
