By KATHRYN McKENZIE NICHOLSForty-five years is long enough to become proficient at just about any art, and that includes the slow, patient sculpting of bonsai trees, something that can take decades to accomplish. Forty-five is also the magic number for this year's annual bonsai show at the Monterey Buddhist Temple on Sunday. This marks the 45th anniversary of the show, which not only gives club me

~Snooper~We defeated Shamnesty twice and the Dream Act once. All were handily defeated with no holds barred. Period. The Politicos in DC are at it again and it is on two fronts - or backs - because it is being "attached" to legalese nonsense.One is being attached to the War Funding. One is being attached to HR 5515.Michelle Malkin and Susan Duclos and ARRA have been the scurvy watch dogs on th

I hope you are having a good and profitable day. I just wanted to tell you about my friend and awesome marketer Russell Brunson’s new viral forum “Conquer Your Niche”. It’s not your usual marketing forum. Here’s why: Everytime you post, reply, or even READ a post, you can earn advertising credits. So, if you participate in forums a lot, you [...]

My friend John Truong has a very hard time speaking. He was a severe stuttering problem… so bad, in fact, that he dropped out of college because he knew he’d never cut it in the “corporate world”. (That turned out to be a good thing though, as he’s been making $300,000 a year in Internet Marketing. On [...]

Line of the Night: It’s been a long 5 months for those of you holding onto Elton Brand, but your patience has finally been rewarded as Brand returned against the Mavericks in style last night. The man-beast Brand (5.3) showed almost no ill effects of his surgery. Ok, so technically, he didn’t have the highest [...]

Making videos can be fun, but winning a contest with a video you made would be excellent! Nokia has announced their '2008 Nokia Mobile Filmmaking Awards' as a worldwide event. Participants must submit videos that have something to do with acts of kindness, inspiring or even something that 'makes you smile' and be no longer than 2 minutes in length.

Yesterday, Anders Olausson factory manager at Volvo Trucks, received the Competence Award for Diversity Initiatives for his work on increasing the proportion of women in Volvo`s Tuve assembly plant in Gothenburg, Sweden. The Tuve factory assembles the company`s heaviest and most complex trucks, and since its inception in 1982 has been strongly male-dominated. It has 2,500 [...]

Recently IMVU rewarded its members again for referring their friends to the IMVU Community. It’s a flying GYRO chair (the previous time I think I got an airplane) but its product page carries no details on how to manoevre it. So….may be it’s time I get on my IMVU IM and play around with it. I’d [...]

I noticed in Blogosphere that the “in thing” now is to reward Entrecard’s top  card droppers for yours or a paritcular site, with 1000 credits, or will be the next featured site and so on. Sounds fun to get the exposure isn’t it? But personally, I’m not sure if it’s really worth it. I joined Entrecard [...]

Here is a way that you can earn some side income from completing online surveys.I am one of those who have taken many surveys that enter me into sweepstakes that I have never won before. Unlike those surveys, this campaign GlobalTestMarket currently running, is quite unique in the way how it rewards the panel members.Unlike other research agencies, you’ll receive money for every online survey you take, even if it turns out you are ineligible to complete the survey. Once you reach 1,000 MarketPoints, you can redeem your points for $50 U.S. dollars.The survey topics run by them is quite interesting, which includes:MoviesRestaurantsAutomobilesConsumer productsCurrent eventsMany other topics that interest you!The online paid surveys you complete directly influence the development of products

There is hardly any gadget as that of the mobile phones that can work so efficiently, so multi-functionally. Just ask a question yourself “what can't I do with a mobile phone?” And think of the answers...what do you get? A mobile phone works as a camera, as a music player, as a video player, as a connectivity tool, as a gaming device, as a web explorer, as a document viewer, as a GPS Navigation system and of course as a communication device. Truly, the incredible growth in science and technology has made the mobile phones an all-in-one device. The mobile phone market has now turned into a very lucrative place where companies seem to fight among themselves to eat the pie of the mobile communication fruit. Mobile phone makers like Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Nokia, LG, Motorola, BenQ Siemens, HTC, O2, i-mate, BlackBerry all are launching new models thus proving their strength in the competitive mobile market. The advent of the Internet has further fuelled in bringing this makers clos

"Buy fear and sell greed" Warren Buffett I found an very interesting chart over at Bespoke Investments. It contrasted today's "crisis" with past ones (LTCM, Orange County & Enron). The chart (below) illustrates that this sell-off in Citigroup (C) shares is in keeping with past ones and also shows the rapid accent after the "crisis" passes. Is Citi is trouble of failing? Not by a country mile. Let's not forget these are just paper losses. Citi made $21 billion last year and sits on... [[ This is a content summary only.

‘I’m a recovering alcoholic, you know. I’m just like you.’ In signing the $50 million five year extension to his existing contract, Glenn Beck, 43,  becomes the newest, and youngest, entrant into an exclusive club of  highly compensated radio stars. The new contract would make Mr. Beck the third highest-paid talk radio host, surpassed only by Rush Limbaugh,  the most popular terrestrial talker for two decades and whose show is also syndicated by Premiere, and Sean Hannity, whose Citadel Broadcasting show is routinely ranked second. The full, surreal story is here:  A Folksy Guy, in Recovery, Is About to Land Millions.

An advantage of last night's excesses and my early start this morning for a meeting meant that I was positioned in the area around Borough Market at breakfast time. There's been a recent advertising campaign which says that a perfect Saturday in London can start with a visit to Borough Market, so what could I do but give it a try? The London streets around this area were showing the signs of autumn and the River Thames glittered with a bright sunny early November morning. I walked along the cobbled streets past the old gaol known as the Clink and then turned towards the market, absolutely bustling with Londoners and canny tourists who have properly studied the areas to visit in London Town.For most of the week, the market is a wholesale mainly fruit market, but at the weekends it turns into a retail market, with an emphasis on fine food products. The whole area around the market is steeped in history starting with the market itself, which is supposed to date from Roman times. There'

I often hear people telling me that it is not safe to buy things online but little do these individuals know that online shopping security has improved over the years. In fact, it is common to receive special deals and discounts when shopping online, thanks to competition in the web.

This helps to encourage loyalty and bring back repeat customers to the stores. It's all about being innovation and unique these days to stand out in the web!

My bank increased just over 90% for the second month of stopping at set percentages and although down some 30% on the previous month, I'm not disheartened in the slightest as I took 2 days off where I would of won 6% each day and it includes a whopping 17% loss I had on the 22nd July which was my heaviest loss for quite a while. July and August is also statistically the highest percentage of favourites winning and I certainly think that showed in the results as a lot of favourites continue to win and as an awful lot of my lays are favourites, I'm pleased to of seen a 90% growth. Onwards and upwards as they say...

A lot of new - or inexperienced - web designers like to show of their skills and make their websites fairly complicated, a mistake you probably do as well. By adding unnecessary technologies to a web page, creating a complicated navigation system, and simply having elements that are completely useless, your website could be losing a lot of valuable visitors every day.By simplifying your website, your viewers have quick access to the information they need, your website becomes much easier to manage and update, and search engines will post your website more accurately and fully. All of these benefits can be achieved by avoiding the fluff of website design. Instead of trying to show off your mad skills, focus on simplicity and you will be greatly rewarded.The first thing you should do is review the technology used on your website. You should be able to do everything you need to using only two or three technologies. If your website is using XHTML, CSS, AJAX, Flash, and JavaScript to achiev

(If I just coined that term I am hereby copyrighting it and you can e-mail me if you would like to send me royalty checks. Capiche?)I have always wanted to make jewelry. Unfortunately, the thread-weaved friendship bracelets we wore by the dozen in highschool is as good as I ever got at it. I still hope to take up the hobby one of these days but in the mean time I can oogle and perhaps purchase the beatiful creations made by a fellow blogger.Today I am sending you all on over to visit Blest With Sons to check out her beautiful homemade jewelry! She makes absolutely fabulous necklaces, bracelets and ear-rings. And she is raising four boys.

I got a surprise at the start of the week by having granted a PR3 by Google. It was a great surprise for me because I have not been expecting this. My blog is nothing compared to all those blogs with specified themes and a personal blog usually can't achieve success easily.Here's my stat on some most used site ranking:Google: PR3Alexa: 2, 296, 601Technorati: 83017 (66 links from 43 blogs)The detailed stats is at the left sidebar of my blog. I know this is not something to be highlighted since there are a whole bunch of bloggers out there better than me but I make this my personal achivement, not to compete with others, just to set a target for a better me.I blog because of self satisfaction and this already gave me a lot of that. Many friends of mine envy what have I did with my blog, including the template, affiliates and at last, squeezing money out of it. I told them it takes a lot of patience and ezpecially when you start from scratch, with no knowledge in HTML, SEO, begging for

While GM bleeds cash at home, its overseas business continues to fare pretty well. Auto Motor und Sport reports that GM's European Opel division posted a record 572k sales in the first quarter of this year, earning a pre-tax profit of $198m. Although profit is its own reward (and apparently an actual priority for GM), GM is rewarding its German branch with a $9b investment over the next five years. $2.5b of the cash will go towards renovating Opel factories in Rüsselsheim, Kaiserslautern, Bochum und Eisenach. The remaining $6.5b will help Opel bring 17 new passenger cars (and three new commercial vehicles) to market by 2012. And now the bad news: Opel's European market share declined from 9.7 to 9.6 percent. Opel GM-Europe boss Carl-Peter Forster says never mind, p
