Can You Really Live Without Your Computer?

I've just come out of three weeks without a computer! My Windows Vista got corrupted somehow, and the BIGGEST mistake I made was to bring in a two-bit good for nothing techie to sort out the problem. Guess what he did? He removed my Vista (without backing up the drivers -- some charlatan!) and installed a FAKE Windows XP. Which, obviously, didn't work. I told him to get out of my house!
And so I took my laptop back to the dealership, where I bought it a year ago, and he gave it to one of his technicians who knows what they're doing. He had to copy the drivers from a similar computer, and then he had to reinstall Vista (fortunately he got me Vista's Service Pack 1 ... which is nice!). I went back online yesterday, and my word it feels good. I think I appreciate my computer now more than I did before. This thing is my life! You just don't realize it until it is taken away. Anyone been through this? Tell us your story. Leave a comment right here!
So, as the saying goes, it's back to the grinding stone for me (with renewed energy!). All I did these past three weeks is read books. I am thrilled to be able to work again.

I finished reading this book last night. Alek (The Extraordinary Life of a Sudanese Refugee), by Alek Wek. When I finished reading her book I cried. Uncontrollable tears. I have never been moved by a book in this way. Ever. She is the most amazing human being. People like her do not exist. Not in this world. This is a gripping story of how a Dinka girl from war torn Sudan rose from the ashes like a phoenix to the catwalk capitals of the world as a supermodel. What amazed me the most is how humble she is. She has nothing bad to say or holds no grudges or bitterness of any kind whatsoever about anybody despite what she's been through. Unbelievable. If you want to be inspired, if you want to be a better person, read Alek, by Alek Wek!

The Obama family gets to know their Portuguese water dog, which daughters Sasha and Malia have named Bo. The puppy was a gift from Sen. Edward Kennedy, who has three "Porties." A few weeks ago, there was a secret get-acquainted session with Bo and the Obama family at the White House. White House photo by Pete Souza.
Usually leaks are bad things when the subject is puppies, or the White House, but yesterday a cute leak squirted out from 1600 Pennsylvania, the news that its newest resident is a Portuguese water dog that the Obama girls have named Bo.

A Jamaica Observer story reveals the latest high-profile job layoffs to afflict the island paradise. The article says, Jamaica has given us many things to be thankful for: Bob Marley, reggae, Red Stripe beer, Olympic sprinters, and The Am Law Daily's favorite movie of all time, Cool Runnings. (Not to mention the Jamaican bobsled café in Montego Bay.)
But today, sobering news that leaves some Jamaicans not feeling quite right -- law firm layoffs.
The country's largest firm, 50-lawyer Myers, Fletcher & Gordon, confirmed on Thursday that it had reduced its staff by 15 percent. The firm, which has offices in Kingston and London, has 160 employees.

Farrah Fawcett Hospitalized With Anal Cancer

When I was growing up in the 70s and 80s, Farrah Fawcett-Majors -- as she was then known during her marriage to Lee Majors, star of The Six Million Dollar Man, from 1973-1982 (the two separated in 1979) -- was a noted pop culture figure whose hairstyle was emulated by millions of young women, and a sex symbol for millions of young men in the 1970s and 1980s. Farrah was my pinup girl. I was totally crazy about Farrah Fawcett. It makes me awfully sad, therefore, to hear that the former Charlie’s Angel has been battling cancer for three years. According to sources, she is however, determined to stay positive.
Fawcett, who was diagnosed with anal cancer three years ago and later pronounced cancer-free, has just recently returned from Germany, where she had experimental stem-cell treatment. Updates, according to some sources, Farrah Fawcett is hospitalized but in a stable condition in a Los Angeles-area hospital.
Fawcett was a critically accepted actress, appearing off-Broadway and in acclaimed television movies in challenging roles. Catch up on all things Farrah Fawcett here!

Chances by Jackie Collins

Chances by Jackie Collins is intensely sexually graphic. Almost nothing is left to the imagination. I got to a point I'd seen so much of it it wasn't doing anything for me anymore but I didn't lose interest in the book itself, on the contrary I was gagging for more. Although she (Jackie Collins) did hold back on the gay sex bits...which were in abundance, like a truck-load, but the way she wove that into her plot left a lot to YOUR imagination.
First published in hardback in 1981 by Pan Books Ltd, this novel captures the essence of the trials and tribulations of her characters between 1913 and 1977. It is a sort of rags-to-riches crime-pays saga involving the mob, prostitution, pimps, porn, homosexuality, murder and pretty much everything in-between...and even 'love'. It's a massive 600-page novel in small font, so you can imagine. I did enjoy this book tremendously. It does make you 'think' how taking chances (or not) in life could lead to your success or failure in life...like when Gino "The Ram" Santangelo, notorious for his insatiable appetite for sex and whose sexual conquests were so many I lost count, got his big break when he bed a sex-starved billionaire's wife whose husband was a closeted homosexual -- AND they did this by arrangement -- the man made him (Gino Santangelo) incredibly rich! That is just one of many chances that presented themselves to characters in this book. A riveting read.

Live Nation Going Head-to-Head Against Ticketmaster

When it comes to LIVE entertainment (concerts), the name Live Nation is everywhere. According to Billboard.biz, as the economy tumbles down faster than "Watchmen" at the box office, developments in the live-music ring have the potential to land a wallop on the pocketbooks of anyone who patronizes concerts.
I also picked up another article from Gainsville.com Entertainment that says, and I quote... "First, and this isn't a bad thing, the concert-promoter behemoth Live Nation is going head-to-head against Ticketmaster by selling tickets to its own concerts without the long-established (and long-derided) ticket seller doing the brokering.
On Saturday, for example, the promoter is selling its own tickets to the Dave Matthews Band's concert at the Ford Amphitheatre in Tampa, 'exclusively through Livenation.com and 877-598-8698,' as a press release succinctly puts it."

Meanwhile, Mojo Concerts, the Dutch branch of Live Nation, has revealed that its new arena venue will be called the Ziggo Dome. It is named after the Dutch cable company that will be providing sponsorship.
Mojo Concerts stages major acts in the Netherlands either in the 10,000-capacity Rotterdam Ahoy or the Gelredome in Arnhem, which is double that capacity. But the lack of availability of the much in-demand Ahoy meant there was a need for a new major venue.

Blogger's Personal Diary - I seem to be spending most of my time editing and rewriting my novel, and reading books (novels). It is quite refreshing, I find, to be doing something different...other than promote promote promote all the time. I think I needed this break. It has given me time to think and to "plot" my next move.
My network marketing business needs a new push, it leaves much to be desired at this point in time, I must figure out what to do. A newspaper advertising agent in the US (I won't mention their name), didn't deliver jack...but vehemently insist my ad was run when I know it wasn't. Heavens, I track all my URLs. I'm not stupid! But anyway, you win some you lose some. If this is the new business ethic sprouting off the back of a global recession, then so be it. Ain't going to allot too much time to dwelling on this. It will only do my head in. I know better now, NEVER to use them again.

Ponzi Scheme Extraordinaire Bernard Madoff Ordered to Jail
|

Thursday, 12 March 09 - 10:42 PM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in Google Hot Trends |
| ||
A Ponzi scheme (which takes its name from Charles Ponzi, an Italian immigrant who by the time of his arrest in 1920 had become the best-known and most successful practitioner of the pyramid scheme in the United States), also known as a pyramid scheme, is the name given to a fraudulent investment gambit that, unbeknown to investors, pays them returns with subsequent investors' money, rather than from profits from the investments. The swindler's success depends on paying investors big short-term returns, which then attract more investors with more money. The scheme collapses when enough investors demand payment at once that the swindler running the scheme can't pay them off -- or legal authorities step in and shut down the operation.
According to Bloomberg, Bernard Madoff was jailed after admitting he masterminded the largest Ponzi scheme in history, an epic swindle that may have reached $65 billion and made him the symbol of investor distrust in a global recession.Madoff, 70, entered his guilty plea in Manhattan federal court three months after confessing to relatives that his firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, was “one big lie.” U.S. District Judge Denny Chin ordered that Madoff, who has been free on $10 million bond, should be jailed while awaiting sentencing, scheduled for June 16. He faces as much as 150 years in prison.

I just received this news with shock. A city I have visited on many occasions (I have very fond memories of Indy) is under siege with fire gutting a $28 Million condominium complex. Fortunately, the building was still under construction and unoccupied.
No injuries are being reported. About 125 firefighters are on the scene working to bring the fire under control Thursday morning.
Indianapolis Fire Department spokeswoman Rita Reith (RIGHT) says three unoccupied buildings burned and all are considered a total loss. She says the buildings are valued at $28 million.
The fire broke out about 3:30 a.m and sent smoke billowing across the Indianapolis skyline. Firefighters were working to keep the fire from spreading to adjacent buildings.
I will be contacting a friend who lives there to find out more about what's going on.

Daylight Savings Time - When the Clocks Go Forward

I now live in the tropics (thank goodness) where there has never been Daylight Saving Time (DST). But for those of you living in the northern hemisphere (not to mention some of you in the cold South), yet again, the clocks go forward this time of year. In 2009 Daylight Saving Time begins on March 8 at 2 AM and ends on November 1. Generally speaking, Daylight Saving Time begins on the second Sunday of March and ends on the first Sunday of November. Note that although commonly referred to as Daylight Savings Time, there is "officially" no "s."
Apparently, in China, there are no time zones. Whatever time it is in Beijing, that’s what time it is across the entire country (which I can't quite comprehend). According to
Wikipedia, the two political entities currently using "China" as part of their official name, the People's Republic of China (PRC) (mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau) and the Republic of China (ROC) (Taiwan) are in the same time zone which is eight hours ahead of the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+8). In the past, this region had been divided into five time zones.

How uncanny, I woke up this morning thinking I MUST start a Book Reviews column on my blog today, and when I picked up the morning papers I see a half page spread on John Grisham's book The Pelican Brief with the headline A Relevant Book for Global Times.
Well, I haven't read the book, but I think I remember seeing the movie, starring Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington. The relevance of the book to global times is the environmental issues aspect of it...so much for cliffhanger titles to introduce an article.
I just put down Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill yesterday. It was an excellent read. This book has been a bestseller for over 65 years (boy what a long shelf life), if you haven't read it, I suggest that you do.

Grim Sleeper Killer: LA Detectives Hit Brick Wall

Quite unimaginable this, but a serial killer known as the Grim Sleeper because he takes long breaks between murders, has evaded arrest for 24 years. LA police on the hunt for the killer, sadly, have hit a brick wall. They have a sample of his DNA, a description from a survivor and a $500,000 reward. Let's hope this, and the release of a recording of a 1987 emergency call helps to jog somebody's memory and leads to the tracking down of the man dubbed the "Grim Sleeper," who has killed at least 11 times in nearly a quarter century.

Thursday, 26 February 09 - 08:53 PM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in Google Hot Trends |
| ||
The hottest search on Google Hot Trends this hour is the Obama Budget, believe it or not, a whopping $3.55 trillion budget proposal has just been unveiled by President Obama today for the coming fiscal year that he said discards "dishonest" accounting practices of the past and makes "a historic commitment to comprehensive health care reform."
The plan would raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans and trim Medicare to help pay for what the administration calls a $634 billion "down payment" on a universal health care program. $250 billion will be used to bail out struggling banks, and $410 billion... approved be the House this week, will fund major government agencies through the remainder of the fiscal year.
Obama's spending plans would push the 2009 budget deficit to a massive $1.75 trillion, officials said this morning. The government's yearly shortfall would equal 12.3 percent of the nation's annual economic output. Such a percentage has not been seen since the end of World War II, when the deficit came to 21.5 percent of GDP.
All of this is quite staggering to say the least, but I just want to stay on top of these developments for obvious reason, economies around the world are in the thick of it too, we all want to know what the future holds. In addition to the loss of more than 3.5 million jobs in the past 13 months, Obama said, another 8.8 million Americans are underemployed, manufacturing employment has hit a 60-year low, capital markets are "virtually frozen," and "trillions of dollars of wealth have been wiped out" in the stock markets.
"This crisis is neither the result of a normal turn of the business cycle nor an accident of history," Obama said. "We arrived at this point as a result of an era of profound irresponsibility that engulfed both private and public institutions from some of our largest companies' executive suites to the seats of power in Washington, D.C. . . . This irresponsibility precipitated the interlocking housing and financial crises that triggered this recession."
Saying that government has repeatedly failed to confront systemic problems as policymakers have chosen "temporary fixes," Obama declared: "The time has come to usher in . . . a new era of responsibility. . . . This budget is a first step in that journey."
The Washington Post goes into further detail with an article aptly entitled Obama's Budget Proposal Would Push Deficit to $1.75T

How to Use Other Peoples' Money to Finance Your Advertising
|
|
|
Monday, 23 February 09 - 03:16 PM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in SFI Tools |
| ||
Piggyback advertising, in my personal experience, is the smartest way to brand, promote, and advertise your business without spending a dime of your own money! Sounds incredible? Well let me show you how the most AMAZING system that practically guarantees free advertising, works.
Piggyback advertising, otherwise known as tie-in promotion, is something I've done in the past ... in the travel industry, and in the music industry. So, I do have firsthand experience with this sort of marketing...which I now want to introduce to my network marketing business. I don't want to keep you in suspense any-longer. So here we go.
I wrote to a good friend of mine who will be printing my fliers, and my proposal to him is reproduced hereunder for YOUR benefit...just so you can see how this Joint Venture is created. Read it to get the full picture.
=====LETTER BEGINS======
Hi,
I have a brilliant idea!
I’m sure there are businesses out there that would gladly pay for a good flyer distribution service. You could be the man!
Here’s how it works…
- Make money printing and distributing flyers for customers. It's dead easy when you commission network marketers to distribute the fliers for you. How? They (network marketers) print their ad on one side, and in the reverse, a local business places an ad and PAYS for print job.
- Always print double-sided flyers. One side will have an SFI (TripleClicks) ad, and the other side will have your customer’s ad.
- The SFI affiliate gets their flyers for free, your customer pays to have it printed, but the SFI affiliate does the leg work (they distribute the flyers).
- Why this is a sure fire way to ensure that flyers are put out? Because the distributor is actually promoting their own business at the same time (far more reliable than hiring someone to do the distribution).
- Add an incentive like a 20% discount off the cost of producing the flyers and GIVE that to the SFI affiliate as a pay package (or commission) for doing the work. They will, of course, earn from SFI as well in the long term, but more importantly for the short-term this gives them the immediate liquid cash to live on while they work their business. There are so many unemployed college students around (and people needing an extra income right now), this would be PERFECT for them.
- So: customer pays the full whack, and you give a 20% kickback to the distributor. It’s a win win. Affiliates, too, can go out and find YOU customers while they’re out and about because THEY have a vested interest! Can you imagine how many customers you can get when hundreds of people are promoting your printing business?
Let me know what you think.
Sincerely,
Tony
======LETTER ENDS======
And so I went back to my friend with the following message...to kick-start our new deal.
I'm attaching the A5 flier to print. Note it has two fliers on one A4, so we basically get double the mileage (two fliers off one plate) ... and with your ad on the flip side.

Growing Financial Markets Volatility - Nervous Investors Keeping Their Money in Cash
|
|
|
Sunday, 22 February 09 - 10:27 PM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in Google Hot Trends |
| ||
Honest to God, I never thought it would come to this. Whilst researching hot topics on the the Internet today (I make it my business), I came across several articles on what was going down with the economic meltdown at the minute, and an article on Forbes, for me, really painted a pretty grim picture of what's happening...and the likelihood, that this may well become a long drawn out economic slowdown contrary to earlier predictions. The bottom line, according to the Associate Press, is the shock that accompanied the market meltdown last fall has been replaced by something else: a resignation that it may take months or even years for the stock market to recover.
The worst week for stocks since early October underscored a loss of hope that government actions to stabilize the economy and the markets will pay off any time soon. Closing at 7,366 Friday, the Dow Jones industrial average is now down 48 percent from its peak just 16 months ago.
Investors are showing their strong disappointment with federal rescue efforts after putting their faith in it for months, according to Art Hogan, chief market analyst at Jefferies & Co. in Boston.
"The fiscal stimulus is now being looked at through the clear eyes that it's a longer-term, back end-loaded plan that will take years, not months, to start affecting the real economy," he said.
Financial advisers and planners are trying to stay in closer touch with nervous clients and revisiting whether their advice from last fall still holds true.

Reevaluating Time Management
|
|
|
Sunday, 22 February 09 - 02:19 PM (GMT +03:00) By Anthony J Namata in Diary |
| ||
I think the time has come for me to reevaluate my time management here. I spend waay too much time online, and it isn't always productive. Trouble is, there's a lot going on at any given time, and there's a lot I want to accomplish still, and in all of this confusion 'some' projects are inadvertently sidelined to make room for stuff I want to get done pronto. But where does all of this leave me...overworked underpaid or what? It's time to shed the load!
I'm thinking, and this is radical, Social Networking has gotta go (or at the very least, kept minimal). Email (newsletters I've opted in for) have gotta be deleted fast to clear my inbox for important mail. I tend to allow my inbox to get out of control and unmanageable for the most part. That has to stop. Operation clear-up has to go into effect--NOW--and I have to stay on the ball come hell or high water.
Network Marketing: takes up a lot of my time, I need to figure out a way to kick this to the curb...but without hurting my business. I know it CAN be done. I just need to figure out a way. Nice and clean. You know what I mean?
Reinvent Myself with a new focus...I want to write! Full-time (I already write like crazy, but this is different). I want to concentrate on fiction. My first novel goes out soon, my next is already in the making, I want to keep that up for as long as takes to build a self-sufficient residual income. It can be done!
Provide Marketing Services to businesses ... this I want to continue doing but I will be very selective as to whom I take on as a client. I don't want to be bogged down with work. I want to do it because I enjoy it, and yes, I want to get paid for it.
That pretty much sums up this blog entry for today. Hope you picked up some pointers on re-evaluating YOUR time management too.

Juliana Redding was 21, an aspiring actress and model from Arizona, who had moved to southern California in pursuit of the Hollywood dream. She wound up dead.

But why? Why can't anybody just say something for crying out loud!

Investigators on Friday began to search for the cause of a commuter plane crash that killed 50 people outside Buffalo, New York, leaving a fiery scene of destruction. It's remarkable that Continental Airlines Flight 3407 only took one house, given that it was carrying 5,800 pounds of jet fuel and turned into a fireball on impact. It could have easily wiped out that entire neighborhood! It is utterly incredible that nearby homes suffered only minimal damage.
FBI agent Laurie Bennett said evidence could not be collected until the scene was deemed safe, which could be several hours.

Eckert was traveling to Buffalo to mark what would have been her husband, Sean Rooney's, 58th birthday.
"We know she was on that plane," her sister Sue Bourque told the paper, "and now she's with him."
