Mary Manross Reelection Campaign

With the Presidential Primaries heating up the political climate, it's no small wonder that more regional politicians are also jumping into the fray with their own election campaigns.

Hence, Scottsdale, Arizona, Mayor Mary Manross has recently launched an awe-inspiring political reelection website in her bid for a 3rd term. Tons of little features abound from how to volunteer your services to watching videos in a real web 2.0 kind of way.

Andrea Hurtado Custom Handmade Jewelry

My wife was recently looking for some affordable, but beautiful jewelry. I know, I know. Seems like an oxymoron. But if you check out this talented designer's handmade custom jewelry website, you'd see what I'm talking about.

Hurtado Designs makes such uniquely cool pieces, that even I can appreciate them. And best of all, those pieces are one-of-kind, and therefore, once sold, will not be reproduced. So my wife won't have to worry about someone else wearing the exact same thing. And guys, the best part of all of this is that this jewelry is AFFORDABLE. You won't go broke after buying a several of these "gems"...no pun intended.

Alex Han, Jazz Saxophonist

Talk about talented! Here's a website of a younger jazz saxophonist by the name of Alex Han. If you know anything about jazz...that it is about improvisational skill and feeling, you'll know that this kid is a natural.

Seems like he's won just about every award a young musician could hope for short of a GRAMMY - although he was selected to be part of the GRAMMY High School Jazz Ensemble. Now this young guy is at a well respected music school of higher learning (Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA) on a prestigious, Presidential Scholarship.

He's got a pretty impressive performance resume as well. Imagine playing at performance halls such as Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall and the JFK Center all while you're still a teenager! Now that's what I call amazing.

Alex Han seems to be pretty busy too. If I were him, I would be thanking my lucky stars because it looks like he'll soon become a star of sorts if he keeps up the good work.

Used Saxophones and Vintage Saxophones for Sale!

A friend of mine turned me onto this saxophone website, which clearly caters to the professional saxophonist, student, and collectors alike.

Used Saxophone and Vintage Saxophone dealer, Joe Sax Woodwinds, seems to have quite a unique product/market, not exactly sweeping the country with interest. However, it's really quite a nifty little website. Perhaps if saxophone legends, John Coltrane, or Charlie "Bird" Parker were still alive, they would be shopping at this place. Joe, you see, sells some pretty in-demand used saxophones. Many of these are in fact considered, vintage saxophones...meaning they're very old and collectible. Some of these used and vintage saxophones were made in Paris, by a company named Selmer, founded by Henri Selmer, I believe.

Anyway, seems that these saxophones are selling like hotcakes. Who would think there was such a great market for these kinds of musical instruments?

Pinal County Down Payment Assistance for Arizona Home Buyers

Wow, I just found out that Arizona homebuyers considering a home purchase in certain counties might be able to get down payment assistance. In particular there two great ones: the Pinal County Down Payment Assistance Program and Pinal Bond Program which offers up to $20,000 in down payment assistance and a below market reduced interest rate to qualifying home buyers.

There are a number of important criteria to meet so you may just want to contact a qualified lender, such as Loan Officer, Luisa Han. Keep in mind that not all lenders are familiar with these programs, nor are they necessarily qualified to assist in offering these programs.

Excellent Web Designer

When I began my search for a quality web designer / web developer, I was overwhelmed by the seemingly endless choices. However, upon closer inspection, most offered their services at a very high premium.

Always, the bargain hunter, I continued my quest for a company offering great web design skills without breaking the bank.

Fast forward to Scottsdale Web Design company, Prominent Web Design, a small web designer out of, you guessed it, Scottsdale, Arizona. What I pleasantly discovered that set this company apart from its competitors, was the warm fuzzy personal touch at a price I could honestly live with. It didn't seem to matter which industry I was in, they were willing and able to do anything.

Prominent Web's home page even offered "web design 101" information that was clearly helpful for the newbie website
