“Wipeout” is one of those shows you don’t tell anyone you watch because it’s basically a show about rejects for rejects. The best way to describe “Wipeout” is the bastard son of “Ninja Warrior” and “MXC” – both of which rock hard. “Wipeout” does not rock hard. It’s degrading.

Sometimes it seems the fates are conspiring against domestic automakers. Just as Pontiac introduces the G8 sedan, the kind of car GM has needed to come up with for ages, the economy goes all wobbly and gas prices spike. If people are thinking of buying new vehicles, they’re looking increasingly to small cars. But if you want a car that’s fun to drive and will haul four or five full-size humans

The title character in "WALL-E," Pixar's futuristic spellbinder, is a funky little metallic contraption that looks like a crazed blend of farm tractor and old-style CPU.

Most Network Marketing companies encourage their distributors to purchase lots of pre-designed flyers and brochures from their catalogues. They promote the fact that it takes a lot of the guess work out of doing it yourself. All you have to do is buy them, hand as many out as possible and wait for your phone to ring off the hook! Sounds great...but does it work? Not really.Companies make millions

On May 26th I blogged about ideas from Carole Martin – “The Interview Coach” (www.interviewfitnesstraining.com) – after listening to the first part of her two-part teleseminar on good interview techniques. Now I’m listening to the second part of the teleseminar, and I was particularly struck by this advice: Never put anything on your resume or say in an interview that you can’t ba

After an interesting appeal to use Disqus, a comment management system for blogs, from AVC, sure I’ll go take a look and see what the hoopla is about. Then start coming up with problems on the reasons why I probably will not use it. The biggest downside is that there will be two places to [...]

Two thoughts have been very much in my mind the past 2 weeks: What to do for the New Year resolution and what Steve Martin said in a recent interview.The Resolution: Be Industrious!Steve Martin on success The resolution I started to write about yesterday. I was tempted to go on and on but I decided to leave it more open. I'm still not sure why the term "Industrious" came with such intensity but it did. I have not been able to think of anything that I felt better about. I think it comes from a frustration that I feel that I have been productive, or at least busy most days, and yet I do not feel I accomplished much. I published my first book, I wrote many business plans, I consulted a bit. None of these things however really changed my life or bank balance. That last point I believe is the key. While I was getting things done, they had little impact on my ability to provide for my family. I therefore resolve to try to look at projects with the idea that they should hav

Blogger Nathan writes:I’m pretty liberal. In fact, I’m very liberal. At least in the sense that I like gays. But I also like the idea of small government that stays out of our business, because I think that small government promotes civil rights.So recently I’ve been really thinking a lot about Ron Paul. I don’t agree with all of his positions, like his stance on abortion. But he is so principled and consistent, that it is hard not to like him. Heck, I even donated money to him.I guess the question is how do I feel about this? Out of all of the candidates running, I think I like him the most, from either party. There aren’t really any democrats that excite me.What is wrong with me?Are we about to see the biggest political coalition ever forged?

The meta description is an important element of your on-page SEO, yet its value is often underrated. Viewing everything in terms of search engine ranking impact blinds us to the opportunity that meta descriptions present search marketers. Admittedly, the meta description tag provides very little value in search ranking. Any value it may have once [...]

NutraCea (NTRZ.OB) is a company that uses patented technology to produce stabilized rice bran- a process which no other company or competitor has been able to replicate. Stabilized rice bran is a high demand product of which 50-60 million tons gets pretty much spoiled every year, and NutraCea processes the inedible outer bran husk ( which was before considered too perishable and unable to be processed for human consumption) into edible rice bran that is both highly nutritious and affordable. Although NutraCea has not been able to produce enough stabilized rice bran to fill the demand from continuing supply agreements with governments, nonprofits, food companies, etc., knowing their production capacity gives stable growth visibility. Pricing for their limited production could be a worry, however since they are the only company who is able to produce this product their monopoly in the area has not showed any negative pricing surprises.Revenues have gone from $5 million in 2005 to $18 mil

That’s good news for Tim Finchem, commissioner of the richest and most powerful golf tour in the world. It is becoming a problem for George O’Grady, more…

THE 7 HIDDEN POWERS OF COMPELLING GREATNESS THROUGH COMMUNICATION by MANOJ SHARMAIt is too often under appreciated that the quality of your communication is at the heart of your power with people and also with yourself. In our massively inter-related and inter-connected world, the quality of your communication impacts both the quality of your life and your standard of living. Interestingly, this is independent of your awareness and lack of awareness of it. Please allow yourself to be acutely aware of this now.This is simultaneously shocking and not so shockingIt is shocking, how generally oblivious people are to the subtle and not so subtle nuances of communication. And it is also not so shocking, because we are never actually taught the subtlety of communication at home, at school and even at work. I've asked myself numerous times, why we are never taught it and have come to the conclusion that it is a combination of a lack of appreciation, mind share and expertise on the part of the

India is expected to add more wealth in the next 10 years than it has in the last 50 years!"
