Natural Oregon what's the most underrated state of the us for a vacation?
My vote would go to Oregon, it's beautiful and few people know how beautiful it is. Columbia River George rivals the grand canyon in natural beauty.
Are there any other states that are well-kept secrets?
Arkansas. A friend of mine from Colorado visited once and he was amazed at how beautiful it was. He had the impression that it was flat (I guess because of Kansas). Northwest Arkansas - Fayetteville- is the place to be. It's growing like crazy. There is culture, nightlife, hiking, canoeing/kayaking, devil's den where you can explore caves, camping, shopping, plenty of dining options... just about anything you want!
Hot Springs National Park is also nice. There is an amusement/water park, 3 surrounding lakes, art galleries.. plus everything mentioned above.
Mexican Gold How has mexican player Alberto Medina turned in to a better player since the GOLD CUP 2009?
Well a lot of people where saying that he was a failure with Mexico but it looks like he is doing better with Mexico and scoring more goals.Thanks to the passes of Players.C.Blanco and Medina=deadly subs?
Like in a previous question, they can both be great subs. We know Temo cannot play the full 90 min, but he can do well for 45, but even better for about 20-30 min. Temo coming in with Medina, and it can be a deadly duo. Venado's best quality is his speed and how to move without the ball, and Temo at his age is, get the ball and have great vision of his players...we saw that vs Italy especially.
I think Venado was specifically taken to be a sub for Mexico. Coming in at the second half, when the opponents defense is tired and honestly no one really knows who Medina is, so I think he will be a great sub coming in.
And Medina has been doing good way before GOld Cup 2009. We gotta remember he was in Confederations Cup 2005, and had a good tournament, his major injury that left him out for almost a year was what affected him the most.
Bar Victorian i am selling the contents of a restaurant loaded with antiques and a bar -what's the best way to find a buyer?
the bar is 20' long...great victorian american. there are incerdible 600 pound antique light fixtures, etc...too big for me to move or list on ebay? any advice? is there a website where i could find people that NEED things? like a "THINGS WANTED" website?
I do suggest ebay. I recently sold a vintage solid oak bar on ebay which was 16+ feet long. The guy traveled over 400 miles one way just to pick it up. You just have to say pick up only for the larger, heavy stuff (or if you have a truck and a strong back, offer delivery for a charge within a certain mile radius). Mind you, not everything always sells...but it's a good start because ebay reaches so many people for the price that you pay to list and sell.
Another way to go is have a big sale at the location where everything is located. I've done this also. The key is advertising what you have. The word antiques draws in a lot of people. Restaurant equipment is a good draw too.
I personally think that listing on various websites can be a waste of time. The chances of people finding your ad is low. One other idea that I've never actually tried (because I tend not to trust people) is to find a local (trustworthy/reputable) auction house that deals with antiques or antique shop and see if they can sell the items for you for a commision. These people often know of buyers from all over. If you choose that route...first make a list of everything that you have and try to research their worth so that you can get a fair price. An auctioneers usual commision is 20%-30%.
Good luck to you!
