Are Your Wasting Money On Your Car?
I admit it. My car doesn't need higher octane gas. It never, ever stops me from buying it, though. There's something in my head that says "Clearly 89 is better than 88. I should definitely spend seven cents more a gallon to get that extra octane."

After reading this article at MSN, however, I may have to rethink my logic. Do you have habits that end up wasting money on your car? Find out at MSN. 

 

Last-Minute Travel
Has 2007 already taken its toll and you need a getaway... now?

We're always on the lookout for sites that can find the cheapest fares around, and site59.com looks like a winner. Unlike many travel sites, they specialize in last-minute departures... as close as three hours for domestic flights and five hours for international.

 

Discount Codes
It's easy to find sites that offer discounts for online retailers.  The trouble is finding sites that consistently present valid ones.

Enter currentcodes.com. With a staff of actual live people who test the codes in their database, you can be sure that if there's a discount code out there for a website, you can find it.

 

Contribution Update
IAAP Members have asked for it... The Trust is happy to deliver. Find an updated contributions chart (by district) at http://www.iaap-rtf.org/contributions.html.
