Image by shadrachian via FlickrThe anti-atheist bigotry utilized by Senator Elizabeth Dole (R-NC) during her recent campaign is inexcusable. I have joined countless atheist bloggers in expressing outrage that such bigotry is tolerated in modern America. The challenge for us now, even after Dole lost the election, is one of recognizing that this may be a political tactic of which we will see more e
Nothing is worse when you try to make money in network marketing than repeating the same mistake that countless other distributors do in their effort to taste success. Their motives are noble, their intentions well-meant, and surely they do not lack the thinking capacity and intelligence to protect themselves and their economic resources. But in [...]
Last week, our business and entrepreneurship class had an exposure trip to a new culinary arts school called Enderun.
It was inside on one of the top villages in our country. Upon arrival, we were instructed to greet everyone we see and behave in proper decorum, heh.
“Use the stairs over here.” A lady with ravishing accent loudly exclaimed.
That caught all of our attention so we dashed
Okay, I’m jumping to dialog since I don’t have a deep thought to share with anyone today. Apparently, Focus on the Family Action, the politicized version of the non-profit, sent out a “Letter from 2012 in Obama’s America.”(pdf)
It’s a terribly fearful letter about how the country’s on it’s way to hell in a hand basket [...]

For last night's debate Obama's handlers decided that in order for their man to try to elevate his stature and gain equal footing with John McCain in the eyes of the viewing public he should refer to his opponent as "John" whenever the opportunity arose.

Use of legal action to `silence’ political opposition is undemocratic, professor says in Liberal court file

The comparison is made in an affidavit the Liberals filed in defence [...]
Yesterday, the Washington Post shined light on a revolting story that needs to be shared.

Same tactic won’t work twice. Everybody knows this. Even in anime, Dragonball series, the same enemy’s tactic won’t work twice against Goku. This applied to the recent allegation against Anwar, the opposition party leader. I don’t understand why the government can’t see this clearly. It’s so obvious that the action is intended to slow or prevent attack against the government. I am not
The Obama campaign is condemning as “tasteless and offensive” a New Yorker magazine cover that depicts Barack Obama in a turban, fist-bumping his gun-slinging wife. An American flag burns in their fireplace. The New Yorker says it's satire. When did racism become satire?Then John Mclaughlin, the talking head of PBS news, calls Obama an "Oreo".How is it that the media can now take racist pot sh

"Outing" is when someone discloses someone's sexual orientation, when that person has chosen to keep their sexuality a secret. There are those in favor of outing who believe it is morally acceptable to disclose this information if the person (usually in a position of power such as a religious or political figure) speak out against and are damaging to the LGBT community. There are others who beli
In an interview with Al-Jazeera, Mashaal explained that “it is normal for any resistance...to sometimes escalate, other times retreat a bit.” Hamas has implemented ceasefires in the past and has later resumed attacks, he pointed out, citing 2003 as a specific example.

The downfall of the Soviet Union ushered in a period in which Russia was regarded as a nation in need of America’s help in order to enter the world of democracy.

Behold the latest phase in Al Qaeda's media strategy. The shadowy terror network is offering up Ayman al-Zawahiri, to any journalists with questions for its No. 2 man. The invitation, issued by the group's media arm, As-Sahaab (The Cloud), came at the end of a 90-minute video message from Zawahiri, posted on one of the group's various militant Web pages.In the statement, released Dec. 16, Zawahiri invites "individuals, agencies and all media" to submit written questions via one of As-Sahaab's Web forums. He calls upon the "brothers" who supervise the site "to collect the questions and transmit them without alteration, whether it is coming from someone who agrees or disagrees."This is the first time Al Qaeda has made a formal call to journalists, although it will not be the first time the radical Islamic group has granted interviews to Western media. Counterterrorism experts believe that the posting is genuine and that it is part of Al Qaeda's evolving tactics to use the Web as par

Hackers have become notorious for disrupting and vandalizing systems and websites. In fact, this very blog was targeted once. It used to be that hackers would sabotage websites for notoriety purposes or to spread a message. Common tactics include putting up disturbing images or replacing the main page with a page containing the hacker’s signature.
The Invisible Hack
In recent months, a tactic that has become more and more common is the “invisible hack”. What the hacker does in this case is put code into the site but have it not display when the page is rendered in the browser. However, this code is visible to search engines and hackers use this fact to their advantage.
By placing their links invisibly on sites, they are able game the system by gaining backlinks from high ranking sites that would not otherwise be possible. In fact, this exact thing happened to former US Vice-President turned environmental activist, Al Gore. His blog on the Inconvenient Truth web

Dean Baker puts the Bush scare tactic on Social Security in perspective with this post, seems Bush is up to his old scare tactics again, well, at least it's closer to Halloween,,trick or treat America.Bush is again declaring war on Social Security, claiming that theprogram is going bankrupt and will impose an unbearable burden on ourchildren and grandchildren. In an apparent effort to lay the groundworkfor a future president to privatize and/or cut the program, theTreasury Department is circulating a new set of Bush stories that aredesigned to convince the public that the Social Security program mustbe changed.Suppose we use the numbers from the non-partisan Congressional BudgetOffice (CBO) instead of the Social Security Trustees, since four of thesix trustees are political appointees of the President. CBO tells usthat the projected shortfall over the next 75 years is equal to 0.4percent of projected income. This is approximately 30 percent ofcurrent spending on the war in Iraq and ab
It is common, if not normal, for early stage companies or inexperienced leaders to confuse strategy with tactics. In short, one fits within the confines of the other, which is why there is often this confusion. A tactic is how something could be achieved. The strategy is why any set of tactics should be considered. Think about the old phrase, "The end justifies the means." The reason to go for the "end" is a part of a company's strategy. The means are the tactics.It's a great subject to discuss because often there is a semantic misunderstanding that, once worked out, leads to greater clarity and unity. The Random House Dictionary I keep by my desk has several definitions for strategy. The one that seems to apply best in this context is #3 "a detailed plan to achieve or reach a goal or advantage." That last word is VERY important. The result you seek is not always a fixed end but a lead, market-share, or visibility.In, Seth Godin's blog today he
There’s been a big hoohaa over some sections of the (cringes) blogosphere regarding Jon War Ass decision to make a business offering paid comments.

I don’t agree with him, or indeed his business, but I do think certain bloggers (mentioning no names nor linking to them) are worried far too much about it, like somehow one comment will steal their meagre $3.29 they’ve earnt on Adsense.

The Lesser Blog Tactic - The Arnold Schwarz
SEO is an internet marketing topic that I hold very near and dear to my hear. These days I have dozens of self-professed SEO gurus on the net, peddling their secrets to better SERP rankings. While some of them are good, I’ve found Aaron Wall’s SEO book to be the only definitive and constantly updated resource with regard to improving one’s SEO.
One way to phenomenally boost your SERP rankings is to use keyword branded images on your site. Here’s the quick and dirty way to go about it:
Go to a site such as Google Images, Big Stock Photo, or iStockPhoto and download at least 3 images for each page you will display.
Remember that most images will be copyrighted, so it’s always best to get Royalty free images. Once you have the image rename it to this format : ‘keyword1.gif‘, ‘keyword2.jpg‘ etc, to fit the keywords you are using in your post.
Include the variations of the keywords in the image ‘alt‘ tags. This will ensure t
Everyone who is doing internet marketing definitely strive to have SEO organic traffic to the money making website, including John Chow. However, John Chow was penalized recently by Google.
He was ranked on #1 position for his name but it is out of the Top 10 first page on Google.
The reason being John was engaged in some link building campaign which is believed to violate Google TOS. Google does not like buying or selling link for the purpose of ranking high on search engine.
It dated back to last Dec 2006, John Chow started a link campaign that he would give a link back for every review of his blog when the text anchor ‘make money online’ was used. Of course, it was a successful campaign to build up 800+ links and John’s income grows 4x more.
But it comes with a price, Google does not like this campaign and google has penalized John’s ranking on the term “John Chow”.
I am posting it here to share with everyone that Google values quality content and
I've been reading a number of blog posts and websites offering tips for boosting blog traffic lately. These blog promotion gurus tend to offer similar advice, suggesting that the many overlapping techniques probably have a reasonable chance of success. Still, there is one common suggestion that I just can't figure out - increasing one's post frequency on the weekends.The rationale for this suggestion is quite clear. There tend to be fewer blog posts made on the weekends. Those of us looking to increase our traffic should take advantage of this by increasing our posting frequency on the weekends. Since there are fewer posts made overall on weekends, our weekend posts have a better chance of being noticed and thus bringing us traffic.My problem with this suggestion is that I am still not convinced that it works. I typically post 2-3 more often on weekends than I do during weekdays simply because I have more free time, but my traffic statistics reveal a consistent drop on the weekends.

"SIGNATURE" SELF DEFENSE TACTICPeople who have trained with me know that my favourite self defense "signature" technique to use out on the street is the "drink throw tactic" by simply throwing my hot cup of coffee or drink into my attacker face I put the ball in my court and am able to follow through with another tactic to finish off my attacker. A variation of this technique is to actually place the liquid of the drink inside your mouth when you are threatened by pretending to take a drink. You now can spit it out onto your attackers face and follow through with whatever else you wish. Cheap low and dirty and effective. Remember there is no such thing as a dirty fighter only an educated one that gets to see another day.
