Florida is one of the most beautiful states in the country for driving, boating, flying, camping – you get the picture. But if you’re bringing a vehicle into the state (and planning to operate it) you’ll need to get it registered and/or obtain proper identification to boot. The following is a quick rundown of what you’ll need to do.

Automobiles: Like most states, Florida residency requirements state that residents who plan to drive in the state apply for a Florida driver license and maintain valid automobile insurance. While there are a few exceptions, chances are good you’ll need to go through the process.?

Obtaining a Driver License: If you have an out-of-state license that hasn’t expired beyond 30 days, you’re in luck: you can easily convert it without taking a written or road test. However, you will still need to take a simple vision test. To schedule one, just contact your local DMV.

If you don’t plan to drive in Florida but still need a valid Florida ID, you can obtain an identification card instead. To qualify, you must present your valid social security card and provide another form of identification. Some counties also require that you are 12 years or older, so check with your local county’s guidelines to find out for sure. Cards are valid for four years and include all the basics: a photograph, name, gender, address, birth date, etc. (Those over 60 years old are issued “non-expiring” cards so they don’t need to worry about renewing them.)
?
Obtaining Car Insurance: Florida Residency Requirements require that you insure your vehicle and you won’t be able to register your vehicle until you do it. What else is mandatory? Using an insurance company authorized to do business in the state. In some instances, your current company can simply help you transfer your current policy to your new state, so give them a call for details. Regardless, you must have insurance before you can register your vehicle.
?
Registration: If you’re moving to Florida, you’ll need to register your vehicle within 10 days of becoming a resident, becoming employed or putting your child into public school. Vehicles are registered for 12 months at a time, with the “year” starting in the owner’s birth month. You’ll need to pay for the entire year, whether you are registering it in the middle of the year or not.

If you’re registering your vehicle in Florida for the first time, you’ll need to have its Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) officially verified. The Tax Collector’s Office can do this for you at the time you register your vehicle, or you can have it done by a law enforcement officer, notary or car dealer. If you choose the latter option, you’ll need to have that person fill out Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles Form DHSMV 82042 to verify the VIN and odometer reading.

Once you register your vehicle, you can obtain a Florida title. To do so, take your proof of Florida insurance and title to your local county tax collector to obtain a Florida title. (If the title is currently held by a lien holder, they’ll help you get the original sent to Florida.)

Putting movies on Zune is not difficult. In fact, using the zune software, it is very straight forward and easy.

The zune software allows you to sync your movies and video files from either itunes or windows media player. By default, when you connect the zune player to a computer, it will automatically synchronize between windows media player. It will then download your movies and videos files in the media library onto the zune player automatically.

The zune software is free to download. However you might want to take note of the specifications. Currently, it only supports Windows XP, home and professional, media editions as well as Windows Vista only. You can check the system requirements at http://www.zune.net

However, I do find the conversion process takes quite long even for small video files. Also, I tried the Zune marketplace where I can directly download the files on my Zune player. Unfortunately, sometimes the synchronization will fail and I will have to try 2 to 3 times before it will download properly. It’s most likely a bug and I think they will fix it soon.

Currently, the Zune player can support three video formats namely WMV, MPEG-4 and H.264. Most resolutions and bitrates are allowed since the zune software will automatically convert the videos files to be compatible for playing on the zune player.

If you want to play your DVD movies on zune, you will need a DVD to zune video converter since the zune software does not convert different video formats for you. I’m using the Cucusoft DVD to Zune converter and it works well. You can use other software to convert DVD movies to Zune.

If you do not want to do the conversion, there are two options. One is to download from Zune marketplace. It is similar to the itunes store where you pay per download. They also have a subscription service where they provide a certain number of points which is deducted when you download a movie, mp3 or video. There are some bugs with the zune software and the zune marketplace so I would not recommend using it for the time being.

The other option is to purchase a membership at a zune download site. These Zune download sites let you download unlimited numbers of movies, videos and mp3 for a one time charge or on a yearly basis. It is cheaper and I highly recommend it if you are a movie or music junkie.

We all like change every now and then, especially in our homes. After awhile, our furniture, appliances and overall appearance needs an uplift. Perhaps you’d like to repaint some rooms or hang some tongue and groove on the walls. This all sounds very exciting except for the cost. The materials cost enough by themselves, but then you still have the labor costs. Labor costs are usually what make our final bill so expensive.

Many of them will not only show you ideas but will list places where you can buy the materials you need just by clicking on a link. They also show some good before and after pictures of home renovations. Your local library will also have many books on DIY home improvement projects.

If you’re not a computer guru, you always have the option of going to your local home building center. Lowe’s, Home Depot or Menards are three very popular DIY home improvement centers. Anything you’ll need for your home improvement project, they’ll have. They have a very knowledgeable and helpful staff that will guide you in getting what you need. Tools you may need can usually be rented from these places, saving you the cost of buying them.
