I'm so conflicted!I have an enormous amount of respect for Ellen and how she conducts herself. I think she makes good choices for herself and her career and doesn't let middle america twist her into something she's not.That's not to say she isn't presenting an edited version of herself on her weekday talk show, but I never get the sense she is presenting an inauthentic version of herself to her au

In the last article, I was saying how the system behind money is giving value and the most quickest, productive, and effortless way of giving value is through passion expressed. The universe is always expanding and through passion you help it expand.You also help yourself expand in the process too. You teach others to reach points of empowerment through living your passion (whatever your passion m

Unconventional Personal Self Defense Weapons was written by Jeffrey S. Anderson from survive-the-street.comMany of us believe in the importance of personal self defense.

Not to spoil, but referees getting bitten is included. I know what you mean, [...]

In honour of the coming weekend when we finally can stop procrastinating about getting a dog and we actually go collect our new golden Labrador puppy, here's a pic snapped at The Farmer's Market at The Grove which I thought was amusing.  One robotic man and his rather unconventional dog...

Had some business to take care of in Fort Lauderdale, and in San Francisco, both the same week... So I booked a direct flight from SJO (San Jose, Costa Rica) to FLL via Spirit Air, which although being a ghetto as hell airline is still the cheapest and fastest way for me to get to the USA. I paid the extra $30 to reserve exit row (ghetto first class!) and had a great flight. Spent a couple days

My last post featured on Brazen Careerist drew tremendous ire from a commenter named Alexis. I appreciated her point of view as it brought to light that my column may have been grossly misinterpreted by readers. Though her tone was puerile and unnecessarily vindictive, I got where she was coming from. (There were lots of other supporters though, Thanks!) To summarize a few highlights from Alexis

Recycling is often such a boring and easy task that it’s hard to get people to change their ways, in order to make them do it. If the blue or green trash bin is just like the black one, only I can’t put everything I want in it, it’s easier to use the black one, right? Well, what if you make recycling fun? read more | digg story

Sent to my wife by her school chum, Jessice: Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration. Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and,once here, to stay indefinitely.-----"A lady wrote the best letter in the Editorials in ages:Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests. Let's say I break into your house.Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave. But I say, "I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors. I've done all the things you don't like to do.

How to Install Kitchen Cabinets - Unconventional WisdomConventional wisdom says the correct way regarding how to install kitchen cabinets is from the top down. Guide books and TV shows will tell you exactly how to install kitchen cabinets - you're supposed to start with the uppers first.If you have to, or you've done this before and feel comfortable with it, stick with it. It obviously works for you. However, having installed cabinets for a living for 15 years (and over 400 of them) it wasn't a good fit for me.IS THERE A BETTER WAY? ACTUALLY THERE ARE TWO WAYS!What about working from the ground up? What if, and this is a radical idea in the world of TV, you install and level the base cabinets - first? In thinking about how to install kitchen cabinets, and actually doing it, I found this to

Nandita Das, the queen of unconventional cinema, has gone one step ahead by signing a film titled Ramchand Pakistani which is directed by a young Pakistani filmmaker Mehreen Jabar. The film also stars some famous television actors from Pakistan.Throwing some light on the story of the film Nandita says, “The story is inspired by a real life incident and revolves around a small seven year old boy (Ramchand) who along with his father (Hindu Dalit settled in Pakistan) accidentally crosses the border. The story moves parallel between the father-son in Kutch jail and the mother left in a small village in Pakistan, unaware about the whereabouts of her family.” Talking about director Mehreen, she says, “I met Mehreen at Kara Film Festival where Bawandar was to be screened. Later on, we beca

The Comfort Keyboard: This ergonomic keyboard can be split into three separate sections, supposedly for added comfort. It also features key reprogramming and a programmable “rest period indicator.” Orbitouch keyless keyboard: This one is a little hard to explain. It was designed for people with “repetitive stress injuries” like carpal tunnel. As you can see, there are no keys. The Roll-Up Keyboard: Thi

Hey everyone,There are many ways to make money online. As you may have noticed in the previous posts of Blog Interest, a way to make money online is described and then taken forward in parts where one website is described in each part. But there are many ways where a heading like Free Advertising Network - Part 4 or How To Get Paid For Blogging - Part 3 might not fit, just for the reason that the way defined in Unconventional way to make money online maybe just as unique as the site that provide that way to make money and there might not be another site (or I might not be aware of currently) providing a similar kinda opportunity to make money.So, I thought of starting this new series of so called unconventional way. In other words, Unconventional way may be called as, "not so popular way c

This post is dedicated to my friend Jodi. You remember Jodi's sweet husband Eric don't you? He prepared that marvelous Lemon Butter Chicken (which I keep meaning to make again!)Jodi recently sent me on a mission. She wanted an old recipe that she had once tried for chicken cacciatore which included carrots and broccoli. I know... I know... most cacciatore recipes don't call for these ingredients. But she had made it once before and she really wanted to make it again. So I went though several popular recipe sites and found around 6 variations of the recipe that looked promising.I read reader comments on how their grandmothers made it (better than anyone else of course!), whether or not you should coat the chicken with flour before sauteeing it, whether the sauce should be thick or thin, w

Since ancient times body jewelry has been a part of the culture and heritage of different religions. It has been known to be an essential part of the clothing and appearance of the people in many regions of the world. At different parts of time through the centuries it was also used to signify the class demarcations prevalent in society at that point of time. How ever in recent times it has

By: Patricia HawkeA Step in the Right Direction at Nashville SchoolsWere all familiar with the kinds of students who are projected to be potential leaders in high schools the debate team member, the math club geek, the student council president. These are the stereotypical American leaders of tomorrow; lucky enough to have their special abilities recognized while they are still in school. But what of the other less visible role models? The kid with a stammer who has a lot to say if he could only get the words out clearly enough, the teenage mom with unlimited potential, even the kid at the back row who spends more time in detention than in class?Youd cringe at the thought of these students being portrayed as leaders and nobody would blame you. In a groundbreaking new program, Nashville schools believe that this exact group of low on achievement but high on potential students has the capabilities to make an impact on society. So confident are Metro Nashville schools that these students,

Following the footsteps of her own sister karisma, she is one of the leading actresses in the Indian film industry. She made her debut in REFUGEE where she bagged the best debut award.Kareena Kapoor is yet another star from the famous Kapoor family to take her place in the Hindi films industry. She made her debut starring opposite Abhishek Bachchan in "Refugee." Though the film didn’t do as well as expected, Kareena earned rave reviews. Born to popular Bollywood stars Randhir Kapoor and Babita Kapoor, ‘Bebo’ as she is affectionately known, stand 5'5" tall, blue eyed, and is a total extrovert. She wanted to study law in Harvard and had no plans to do anything in Bollywood. But the acting bug took over and now she’s in the limelight like her successful sister Karisma! Never in the history of films has a star sibling risen to a status of a mega star in a short period of time as has Kareena Kapoor. Even as a 10-year-old, when Bebo (as she’s fondly called) tried on wigs and new s

Before we begin let me say the tactics you’re about to read are not recommended for all circumstances. In fact, using some of them may get your Myspace account deleted if you’re not careful. With that said, use your own judgment when employing the methods below and if by some chance you get caught don’t say I didn’t warn you. The ultimate goal for any profile is to have as many friends as possible. If you’ve targeted your niche properly, with the right picture and profile, having friends of all types won’t matter. The ones interested in your niche will gravitate toward your profile on autopilot. Some people find that adding friends quickly can be tedious. This has led many people to turn to Friend Adder programs. While adding as many friends as possible to a non-themed profile with an Adder program will get you some business, this method won’t be as successful as it could. The proper method is to apply everything you’ve learned so far to put together a targeted profile,

Qualche giorno fa ho scritto su NinjaMarketing.it dell’attività di “guerrilla glaciale” di Carlsberg messa in atto dall’agenzia Ambito5 per promuovere la Club Bottle Ice Art Night e il lancio della nuova Club Bottle di Carlsberg. L’agenzia milanese ha realizzato l’evento in due città, Roma e Milano, facendolo precedere da una attività di teasing. Per quest’ultima sono stati utilizzati 50mila soft stickers a forma di bottiglia e dieci totem di ghiaccio, comparsi in varie zone delle città nei tre giorni precedenti gli eventi. All’interno dei totem, destinati a sciogliersi in alcune ore, una locandina non firmata ma con alcuni tratti distintivi del brand Carlsberg, invitava all’evento Club Bottle Ice Art Night. Durante gli eventi una squadra di scultori guidata da due titolati ice artist, ha eretto una Club Bottle alta più di 4 metri utilizzando circa 10 tonnellate di ghiaccio. Le operazioni si sono svolte durante tutto l’arco della giorna

An Unconventional War July 1st, 2007   Many people directly involved in this war have said that we are up against an unconventional enemy. Furthermore, they say that our enemy is fighting this unconventional war unconventionally. And yet, we continue to fight this war as soldiers and with “honor”… as if there is supposed to be some sort of civility in war. The last I checked, war was war because it was war. I’ve also heard the saying that there are no “rules” in love and war. And if there are rules in war… our enemy doesn’t seem to want to follow them and we are losing because of it. We used to know what that was about… but wait a second… I’ve heard this story somewhere before.   Oh ya… now I remember… it was in history class…   Remember the revolutionary war? If my memory serves me right, the British wanted to fight that war with civility and with rules. They fought shoulder to shoulder in rows because for a great many years, that’s the w

Da ormai due anni si sta inserendo gradualmente nell'ottica di Mrktg un'unconventional strategy orientata prettamente al far conoscere un prodotto incuriosendo e stimolandone l'attrattività.Un esempio è la strategia che Pirelli ha proposto l'anno scorso e a cui quest'anno è riuscita a dar more - pratical - sense.Nel 2006 ha dovuto cercare di consolidare questa strategia con una promessa di seguito assicurato.L'intento era solo quello di creare l'abitudine e di istruire l'osservatore a percepire il bisogno e farsi coinvolgere dai messaggi.Nel 2007 , invece, punta su una strategia molto più accattivante preposta per far appassionare il cliente (non solo affezionare), per proporre una vera applicazione a quella che è il suo motto da quasi 10 anni e soprattutto per confermare il raggiungimento degli obiettivi dell'anno passato.D'ora in avanti, infatti, il cliente si aspetterà un film a promotion della Marca e si aspetterà di restare stupito da questo. E' sicuro.Con questo

{summary}This is so totally the perfect gift for someone like me: Hellraiser Homemaker Limited Edition Kit. Those who know me well know that I’m not a huge pink fan, but in this instance it’s almost a bit ironic, ya know? “The limited edition kit includes a Hellraiser Homemaker Apron, pink wooden mixing spoon for baking and spanking and a handful of mouthwatering recipe cards. ” Baking and spanking.  Heh!

I got mad at my upstairs neighbour again last night. I didn't scream in her face or anything, but I muttered out some unflattering words when she hanged up her clothes without draining them of the excess water (something she ALWAYS does), which naturally dripped onto my clothes which were hanging below. And might I add that they were dry! I don't know if she heard me though.Another problem that she has been causing is that she turns on her air-con almost everytime that she's in the apartment, day or night. It's none of my business, yes, but you betcha yesiree it is when it's leaking onto my bedroom wall! And yes, it's bad! It's been going on for awhile, but I still haven't mustered up the guts yet to talk to her about it (call me chicken, but hey, it was only recently that we confirmed that it's a she, and a nurse at that!). I haven't even talked about it to our landlords yet. Something which I have to do soon, I've delayed enough already.Now that I've got that out of my sy

If any end user of the Firefox web browsing software applications is asked to state the point where it was clearly proved to the world that the Firefox web browsing software application cannot be stopped, nine out of ten users would point to the full page advertisement in the New York Times as the point of reckoning. In an effort to collect more money, the end users of the Firefox web browsing software application appealed for donations from all end users of web browsing software applications. In return, each and every person who donated money to the cause of promotion of the Firefox web browsing software application was promised that his or her name would find a mention in a full page advertisement issued by the Mozilla Foundation in the middle pages of the New York Times.Whether the end users of web browsing software applications recognized that the Firefox web browsing software application was an excellent web browser or whether the end users were thrilled at the prospect of seein

One thing that can be said for sure about Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan’s films with Rani Mukerji is that they project the actors in very unusual, exceedingly unconventional combinations. In Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Black” they played the amazingly unorthodox teacher and pupil. And in Karan Johar’s “Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna” (KANT) Big B was the philandering [...]
