Good Times

My brother-in-law and I once discussed the idea of a newspaper in which no bad news would be printed. A couple of days ago, The New York Times issued such a paper, a stunt initiated by The Yes Men. From the media release: Early this morning, commuters nationwide were delighted to find out that while they were sleeping, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan had come to an end. If, that is, they

Habana is located at The Lab in Costa Mesa (California), right off Bristol Street. At first, we got a bit confused because we kept seeing The Lab’s sign next to Habana’s sign. Well as it turns out, The Lab is the name of the shopping center where Habana is located! Hah! It sure fooled me! [...]

Yesterday was a first for me.Remember these two girlies I mentioned previously?It just so happens that during our Sunday School lesson on The Heart of Jesus, the topic of cute tights and where to get some, came up. I have no idea how this happens...but it does.It may have been because this is what I wore to church last week, and that little hole is what happened BEFORE Sunday school even started.

For the past few days, I’ve been up in Vancouver giving a seminar and working with Pallian on the upcoming 12-hour TIMraw DVD. While I was up there, I had the chance to grab dinner with master blogger John Chow, whose not doing too badly with $38k in blog income last month, and attend one of [...]

PARIS — One morning last January, a clutch of well-dressed women gathered outside the Christian Lacroix fashion house on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. But the occasion wasn't a sample sale. Rather it was the day after Lacroix's summer couture show, and some of the most privileged women in the world were anxious to get dibs on some of the most expensive clothes in the world. "At 8:30,

It is vital to get rid of debt while things are going well. Just the opposite is usually the case. Human nature is such that when we find ourselves living in good times, we let down our defenses. We make our worst decisions when our lives seem to be going great. It is not hard to understand why this happens. We believe things will always be better in the future. When I'm done with school. When I

The Indian publishing BPO industry is expected to grow at an estimated rate of 35 per cent per annum and become a $1.46 billion industry by 2010, Puducherry CII Vice Chairman Sriram Subramanya said on Thursday.Addressing a conference on Publishing BPO Services, organised by CII in Chennai, Subramanya said Chennai had emerged as a global hub for publishing BPO services and the Indian publishing BPO services industry had grown phenomenally over the years. Several global publishers are offshoring their publishing services to India, making the country a publishing BPO services hub of the world, he said.''There is an accelerated trend of acquisitions, which is likely to intensify as more players look to acquire new capabilities, clients, market presence, offshore capacity and onshore capability

I'm writing this whilst multi-taking my little head off. On this computer I'm busy emailing loads of bands about a very special release (details coming soon), listening through a Tubelord CD I just burnt to make sure it plays ok, watching the BBC Football page refresh as the Spurs v Man City game reaches its final minutes, designing a little animation for the aforementioned special release, and most importantly, downloading the brand new Secondsmile masters. All the while on the second computer, a couple of feet to my left, I am looking through some photos from our trip to New York back in January, downloading the latest episode of Lost (naughty) and burning a couple of episodes of Prison Break (more naughty). I'm also starting to get hungry, so might have to add some form of cooking into

Smart Buyers Collection is a collection of words of wisdom by various Singapore property watchers.By: kmPosted: 10-10-2007In 1993, my partner and I bot 2 commercial properties in shenton way at the average px of $810psf. 2 yrs later in 1995, (the peak), an agt called to offer me $1600 psf, my partner told him $1700 psf as we need to pay the capital gain tax, guess what happen?, we finally sold the property through the same agent at $1510 psf...in 2006, some 11 years later. Why didnt we sell at $1600 in 1995??, because we were collecting very good rental, enough to pay the bank and still have money to spare, it make sense to keep for long term. Mistake !!!. because rental fell, interest went up. The following years saw the rental falling yr by yr, interest went up and during the currencies

After that performance, Led Zeppelin really must go on tour. The reunited rock 'n' roll legends were superb Monday in their first full concert in nearly three decades, mixing in classics like "Stairway to Heaven" and "Black Dog" with the thumping "Kashmir" and the hard-rocking "Dazed and Confused." The band's three surviving members — singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist-keyboardist John Paul Jones — were joined by the late John Bonham's son Jason on drums. And it was the newest member of the band that was given the honor of kicking off the sold-out benefit show, pounding out the beat before the others joined in on a near-perfect "Good Times Bad Times." After the lights went down at the O2 Arena, newsreel footage of the band arriving in Tampa, Fla., for a 1973 performance was projected onstage. Then Bonham jumped in, soon to be joined by the rest. They followed that with "Ramble On," and with it destroyed all rumors that the 59-year-old Plant could no longer re

...Norman Wisdom, Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee, good times.Good songs never die, they go on to have a long and healthy existence way beyond the expectations of the writers. The Human League's Things That Dreams Are Made Of from the classic pop album Dare! is to be given another shape in the form of an updated version by the fashionista's DJ choice Kissy Sell Out (left). Hooj Choons, a dance label with an impressive pedigree, is releasing Kissy's remix along with millions more (well, probably about eight in total, a little excessive in my view, but hey). Tiga gets a look in (doesn't he always) as does the original producer of the track, Martin Rushent. But confusingly, four of them are already on iTunes, where you can buy Rushent's urgent Moroder-ified version. Clicky here.This song is ingrained in my mind. Every word, syllable, Linn drum handclap and synth brass chord stab. "Like fun and money and food and love" Phil sings and it could sum up the track and what was to follow, the rest o

Less than a week after posting my car for sale on Craig’s List, I’ve taken a cash deposit based on a sale price in my preferred range, and expect to finalize the sale (upon receipt of a cashier’s check) within the next few days. I’ve learned a few things about selling a car, and for those who may be doing it soon, here’s my advice: Read and follow the directions given in online “How to’s.” Read the selling version AND the buyer’s version, so you know what the people coming to buy your car have been looking at as well. My favorite was Kelley Blue Book’s 10 Steps to Selling Your Car. I also referenced Guide to Selling Your Car and AutoTrader’s How to Sell Your Car. Post, or re-post, your ad on Friday evening.

I looked for a great giveaway that would incorporate the wide variances of topics on this blog but alas, I found nothing that would appeal to both baby milestone enthusiasts as well as diversity, faith, and world religion enthusiasts (what an odd blog I do have, why do you stick around here!)I'm giving away the DVD My baby can talk: First signs, brand new in wrapper.

I was having dinner with my family last night. Its so nice to have them around - my sister and her family lives in the US, and they have come to visit, and I really love having them around. My nephews are almost done with school, and I can’t believe how big they have gotten. I miss having them around so much. Its amazing to see how much they change in one year. Makes me wonder about myself Whilst still sitting chatting about the table with my sister, my two nephews and my parents, we started with really weird conversations. One was about silicon implants and how they must look when you’ve aged. Now this isn’t something that we would normally discuss. We have our limits, but last night, we just couldn’t stop laughing at the thought of perky breasts in an old saggy body. Maybe even perky breasts hanging somewhere between an old ladies chest and stomach. ROFL. Maybe they adjust everything again, after some sagging took place - who knows. And no matter ho

You know what's fun? Spending the day watching 3 kids under the age of 3. You know what's even more fun than that? Being 2 minutes into your day of babysitting and finding yourself up to your elbows in a poopy diaper with a baby screaming at you in the background and a kind of urgent sounding message being left on your answering machine. You know what's even more fun than all that? Listening to that message (after you've gotten the kids cleaned up and calmed down) and hearing the voice of the school nurse telling you to come and take your kid into the ER because they got their head cut open during a freak accident on the playground.Thank goodness for mothers. I called mine up, she came over to watch the babies and I drove to the school to get Joseph. He had a small cut on his head that just wouldn't stop bleeding. I guess he was standing next to a little girl on the playground when she started to twirl a jumprope around. The handle swung around and hit Joseph right on the

I went to a site, this one to be exact, with the intent of leaving a constructive or otherwise enthusiastic and optimistic comment. However, at 3am (or nearing that time), I was none too pleased when out of my very powerful, bass driven speakers, some horrible music pumps out. I mad scramble to turn the sound down because I have people around me asleep. A little consideration for the little people, please. Because I am a bitch and no one who knows me can deny that I am, I leave a comment about what a horrible experience that was. I figure maybe the webmaster will take into account how unfriendly her forced music is to a visitor and will rethink having it autostart and maybe start by the press of a button if the visitor wishes to hear whatever crappy music kids are listening to today. Obviously not. I get this in my email box today from Aja@junkyardflux.com: Sorry human, but that’s not my problem. It’s my website, I do what I want with it. Don’t like it… d

My family and I had the pleasure of attending a local country fair not once, but twice this weekend! Hubby and I brought the kids to the opening fireman's parade to kick off the fun-filled weekend, and then headed into the fairgrounds for some fun and food. We really like this particular fair - it's big, the grounds are manageable with 3 little kids, and there is lots to see and do. We had so much fun that we all headed down there again the following night for more fun! Here are some observations/callouts from the weekend's festivities:National Guard guys are just as cute as full-time military guys. MMM.Guy with the cellphone looking at me suspiciously? Good thing you decided to move your position on the parade trail. I'm sure that my kids and I looked all attractive and all, but yes, that guy across the street getting hotdogs was my football linebacker husband, and if you had tried anything funky, he would've kicked your ass. After I screamed so the 100 other people around

Shirley Goodman and Leonard Lee, born just ten days apart in 1936, scored three massive R&B hits before either one of them were both 20 years old: "Feel So Good," "Let the Good Times Roll," and "I Feel Good" were all written by the talented young couple. They had one trait in common among their recordings; this New Orleans-based duo almost never sang in harmony, let alone together at all. Their contrasting male-female duet style was later influential on early ska and reggae productions from Jamaica. Shirley & Lee recorded extensively for Eddie Messner and Leo Messner's L.A.-based Aladdin label. The Messners -- along with former NBC radio exec. Lew Chudd's Imperial Records and Art Rupe's Specialty -- seemed to have a knack for signing talent straight out of the Crescent City. Shirley & Lee's debut single, "I'm Gone," was written and produced by Dave Bartholomew, Imperial's writer/arranger/producer/A&R man and a major contributor to New Orleans-style R&B. (It was Bartholomew's pro

Now, Cuppy isn’t the only one commenting on this issue (or is it non-issue?) but she happened to post it today and I like to keep things fresh. Anyway, feel free to weigh in at some point, but the whole thing is just so…beyond foolish…that I’m tempted not to say anything. That temptation won’t win out, I’m sure, but it’s there. We’ll see how things go later tonight into tomorrow…I may be forced to post some thoughts.

Brand: KingfisherCompany: UB GroupAgency:JWTBrand Count :169Kingfisher is a classic case of branding success. This brand can even be termed as an iconic brand. A brand that had extended itself from beer to airlines can be equated to the Virgin brand. The brand is synonym with Beer in India. Now ask a young man from India what a Kingfisher is ? The most likely answer will be either Beer or Airline. The power of the brand has virtually made the bird a brand extension.Kingfisher is a brand from the UB group stable.It is the largest selling beer brand in India commanding a market share of over 28% in the Rs 5000 crore Indian Beer market.The brand epitomises energy, youthfulness ,enthusiasm ,freedom but with a touch of professionalism.United Breweries (the original name of the group) have a history dating back to 1857.

"It's one of those rare businesses: when the economy struggles, Henry McCarty's work thrives," reports KHOU (via CNN). Henry McCarty's "work" is repossessing cars from those who've fallen behind on the payments. Just how good is the repo business in the Houston, TX area these days? "We're running 24 hours a day, seven days a week, just to keep up," say McCarty, who runs Citywide Lien Enforcements. McCarty says "There's a lot of people out there that fall on tough times," and default on car and truck loans. "They're bankers, they're police officers, they're... you know, even doctors." KHOU reporter Kevin Peters says that nationwide, about 1.5m vehicles were repossessed last year, up 15 percent from 2006. He adds th
