Symphony Of Lights

This is one of the famous tourist attractions in Hongkong. The problem is, I do not get why this is famous. Sure, you see photos of the lights splattered all around the Internet. When I finally watched it with my own eyes, I was pretty much disappointed.

The show creates colored lights, laser beams and searchlights performing a stunning, unforgettable spectacle synchronized to music and narration that celebrates the energy, spirit and diversity of Hong Kong.



For one thing, you need to probably stay in a hotel high above and have a long range camera lens with a big aperture to be able to take stunning photos.

If you watch it in the area where the Avenue of Stars is located, tough luck. You probably need a tripod and a portable mini-stair to get a good view. If you do not have a camera with you and decide to just watch the light show, there really is not much lights to look at.

Plus I could even barely hear the commentator with his words because their sound system is probably broken or something.

I had high hopes when I walked to the Avenue of the Stars just to watch the Symphony of Lights. And I ended up being disappointed with the results.

Self Directed IRA

Here is a little something about a self directed IRA. A Self Directed IRA's ownership of a LLC is a special purpose limited liability company which is either fully or partially owned by an IRA or the Individual Retirement Account.

A self directed IRA does have its benefits.

One of these is for an ICO to allow you to hold real estate or other non traditional investments in an IRA with checkbook control. The fact that very few IRA custodians permit direct ownership of real estate or other non traditional investments in an IRA, indirect investment via the ICO is usually the only choice.

One other benefit is when the ICO sells real estate or other investments, the capital gains are deferred through the IRA. 1031 exchanges are never even necessary because of this.

And since you control and handle all ICO transactions, the custodian for the IRA can be paid an inexpensive flat fee for typically under $200 per year. Not bad, right?

Signtronix And Signage

Funny thing while looking for a place where I can get a signage, I came across Signtronix's portfolio in (of all places) Flickr. Then again, after reading its porftolio, I think it is a terrific idea that they place all their catalog in Flickr.

After all, Flickr renders images to their absolute quality hence if you want to display your products that would really impress people, Flickr is the best place. Now, with regards to Signtronix, I would say they have a very vast catalog of different designs and layouts.

Signtronix caters to small business owners who seek to draw in more customers with attractive signage. Think about advertising. If you want your client base to take notice, then you have to project something that is eye catching, right? This is what Signtronix specializes in with their signage products.

With hundreds of different graphic design layouts in the catalog spanning over a hundred different types of businesses like auto shops, clothing distributors and floral companies to name a few, clients can meet their signage needs with Signtronix.
