I would also like to say Happy late Thanksgiving. Sorry for the lack of updates people's!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to former Secret Service agent Abraham Bolden, President Kennedy was due to arrive in Chicago on November 2, 1963 to attend an Army-Air Force football game at Soldier Field and to ride in a parade, but Secret Service agents in Chicago recommended that the White House cancel the trip after two alleged threats against the president.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to news reports at the time, Kennedy didn't come to Chicago that day because he was ill or because of a diplomatic crisis, WLS-TV reports.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bolden tells WLS-TV that when the Warren Commission began investigating JFK's assassination, he attempted to inform members about the Chicago plots and alleged misconduct by his fellow agents, but was arrested and prosecuted for soliciting a bribe from a counterfeiter and served a six-year sentence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bolden claims it was a set-up to silence him. The main witness has recanted his accusations, and Bolden hopes now to clear his name, the station reports.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6331040109453066336-8866820339892101145?l=tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com/feeds/8866820339892101145/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6331040109453066336&amp;postID=8866820339892101145' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6331040109453066336/posts/default/8866820339892101145'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6331040109453066336/posts/default/8866820339892101145'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com/2007/11/jfk-plot-before-dallas-assassination.html' title='JFK Plot before Dallas Assassination?'/><author><name>Awkward Situations</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18148115498490371596</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331040109453066336.post-7105572595263111522</id><published>2007-10-05T14:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-05T14:25:34.055-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='misunderstanding?'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='american'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='anti'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='just'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='or'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='a'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='attitude'/><title type='text'>The Obama Chronicles, OH NO YOU DIN'T'</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So if you watch the news constantly like me and other lifeless leeches I know here on the good ole' internet you know Obama didn't wear his american flag pin on his lapel, becuase of the way the war is going. Apparently however it's gotten to the point where not wearing one is unpatriotic. Look I don't agree with what this man says but if you don't want to wear your american flag pin, big deal. &lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I'm sure he still celebrates this great country&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; in other ways, just that way was taken off due to his feelings for the war. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;--&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In any case the war isn't America, so thats where the "you should still be patriotic no matter what direction America is going" attitude. Look all I know is I fly 2 american flags in my backyard, wear american flag pins on my suits and have an coffee mug with reagan and kennedy's heads on them behind an american flag. If I'm not pro american I don't know what I am. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;--&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;I'm not a fat southerner so don't accuse me of that, not that theres anything wrong with southern people, I love them.

Cities Unlimited will be out most likely next year, maybe during the holida&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;y season or sooner, as some sources leaked.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regardless, if I haven't caught your attention yet, check out these screenshot comparisons, that perhaps are so dramatically different, they show who actually cares enough to make a worthy city building game like Sim City 4 and it's predecessors.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;==&lt;br /&gt;Cities&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; Unlimited:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_PSv6acEogS0/RwOvS-gqO6I/AAAAAAAAAGo/ho7UOP-Bhr0/s1600-h/citiesunlimitedscreenshot1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_PSv6acEogS0/RwOvS-gqO6I/AAAAAAAAAGo/ho7UOP-Bhr0/s320/citiesunlimitedscreenshot1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5117126342175505314" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;font-size:130%;" &gt;Sim City Societies:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_PSv6acEogS0/RwOwMegqO7I/AAAAAAAAAGw/tdyW5x-1A3I/s1600-h/screenshot_14.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_PSv6acEogS0/RwOwMegqO7I/AAAAAAAAAGw/tdyW5x-1A3I/s320/screenshot_14.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5117127330017983410" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; font-family: arial;font-size:130%;" &gt;You be the judge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6331040109453066336-3001049137194341609?l=tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com/feeds/3001049137194341609/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6331040109453066336&amp;postID=3001049137194341609' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6331040109453066336/posts/default/3001049137194341609'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6331040109453066336/posts/default/3001049137194341609'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com/2007/10/thinking-about-buying-sim-city.html' title='Thinking about buying Sim City Societies?

hasn't shaped up very well, with the bridge collapse, and now these poor trapped miners and their families. They apparently tried to stick a microphone down into where they believe these miners are, but haven't had an audio responses. Oddly enough the air is said to be very healthy down there do to the low co2 ammount and the fact that there is alot of it, oxygen that is. Now assuming they hit the wrong area, or the miners are hurt and simply not speaking maybe becuase they are asleep or passed out, or can't speak due to the injuries if they have any.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It's important to note that the man who bashed the AP and Fox News is not the president of the united states. Although I can see why he would be frusrated, I don't like the fact that he was yelling due to a simple mistake in reporting. But it's his problem and I hope he gets it sorted out. I know these guys are stressed and I do hope they find these men and their pain can end just as these miners pain can end if they find them. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anyways I hope you will pray or at least hope these men get out safely and most importantly alive.

It's for the "Big" fan of the Sim City franchise like myself and the "Wtf is Sim City?!" type's too. It's easy to pick up and play, has a variety of diasters you have to manage, fun events like dropping presents off from Santa, or tranqualizing a large monkey when you have alot of pollution in your city. (Which unfortunately seems to be the only way to draw in more people, factories and such).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;The other thing I wish they could of changed is you can only build one city at a time. No you can't build one and link it to another your working on like in Sim City 4 or other previous Sim City titles. I wish that could of been changed but I'm guessing it was to make it so the DS could handle it. And even still it lags, which is very strange for the DS. The detail ammount causes slowdowns in the gameplay, and a loading screen. Something you would of expected in the PSP. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;But past all that Sim City DS is a fun game that has alot of potential for future titles. It's fun, challenging, and just a breath of fresh air from the normal ds titles. And until Sim City Societies comes out later this year it's a good way to relax and enjoy that classic gameplay until then. And classic is true in the game as well, which plays more like Sim City 3000. Which was a great game, indeed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;--&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;Screenshots: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_PSv6acEogS0/RrLU1jDBR9I/AAAAAAAAAFg/hS4RZWX8ttA/s1600-h/sim02.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094368144915515346" style="FLOAT: left;

"At this point there is nothing to suggest that this was anything other than a structural collapse."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;Jamie Winegar of Houston was sitting in traffic shortly after 6 p.m. when all of a sudden she started hearing "boom, boom, boom and we were just dropping, dropping, dropping, dropping."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;The car she was riding in landed on top of a smaller car but did not fall into the water. She said her nephew yelled, "'It's an earthquake!' and then we realized the bridge was collapsing."&lt;br /&gt;Minneapolis Fire Chief Jim Clack said 60 people were taken to area hospitals for treatment and that the death toll could rise.&lt;br /&gt;Rescuers called off the search as nightfall made it too dangerous to search the waters filled with chucks of the mangled bridge and at least 50 vehicles in the water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;"We think there are several more vehicles in the river we can't see yet," Clack said, adding that the likelihood of finding survivors was slim.&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Joseph Clinton, emergency medical chief at Hennepin County Medical Center, said his hospital treated 28 injured people — including six who were in critical condition.&lt;br /&gt;Clinton said at least one of the victims had drowned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;The &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="javascript:siteSearch(" _extended="true"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;Homeland Security Department&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt; also said the collapse did not appear to be terrorism-related. The &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="javascript:siteSearch(" _extended="true"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;National Transportation Safety Board&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt; planned to send a team of investigators to Minneapolis, NTSB spokesman Ted Lopatkiewicz said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="javascript:siteSearch(" _extended="true"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;Gov. Tim Pawlenty&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt; said the bridge was inspected by the Minnesota Department of Transportation in 2005 and 2006 and that no structural problems were noted. "There were some minor things that needed attention," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;Police Chief Tim Dolan said officers were checking other bridges as a precaution.&lt;br /&gt;The steel-arched bridge, which was built in 1967, rose about 64 feet above the river and stretched about 1,900 feet across the river. The bridge was built with a single 458-foot-long steel arch to avoid putting any piers in the water that might interfere with river navigation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;A burning truck and a school bus clung to one slanted slab. The bus had just crossed the bridge before it crumpled into pieces.&lt;br /&gt;Christine Swift's 10-year-old daughter, Kaleigh, was on the bus returning from a field trip and called her mother. "She was screaming, 'The bridge collapsed!"' Swift said.&lt;br /&gt;She said a police officer told her all the kids got off the bus safely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;It appeared that the center section of the bridge dropped straight down and pancaked in the middle of the river, leaving several vehicles stranded on a broken island of wreckage. As divers plumbed the waters, other rescuers searched frantically for victims amid broken, zigzagged sections of blacktop. Some of the injured were carried up the riverbanks.&lt;br /&gt;Dozens of vehicles were scattered and stacked on top of each other amid the rubble. Some people were stranded on parts of the bridge that weren't completely in the water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;Many motorists could have been headed to the Minnesota Twins game not far from the bridge. Team officials decided to play the game after conferring with department of public safety officials. It was decided that sending 20,000-25,000 people back into traffic could hinder rescue efforts, said team president Dave St. Peter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;Catherine Yankelevich survived a 1994 earthquake in Northridge, Calif., and was on the I-35W bridge when it began to shake. "Cars started flying and I was falling and saw the water," she said. After her car plunged into the river, she climbed out the driver's side window and swam to shore uninjured.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;Road crews had been working on the 40-year-old bridge's deck, joints, guardrails and lights this week. "None of it would be related to the structure," said Bob McFarlin, assistant to Minnesota Transportation Commissioner Carol Molnau.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;The bridge was scheduled for inspection this fall, he said.&lt;br /&gt;Tom Sloan, head of the bridge division for Progressive Contractors Inc. said his company had 18 workers on the bridge at the time of the collapse and one was unaccounted for on Wednesday night. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;Three were hospitalized, while several others were treated for minor injuries, he said.&lt;br /&gt;"Obviously, this is a catastrophe of historic proportions for Minnesota," said Gov. Tim Pawlenty. "And right now we are focused on making sure that we are doing everything to respond to the needs of those individuals that may have been harmed in this incident."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;(Story Copyright Fox News, 2007.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;--&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;This is really tragic.

I really, really wonder sometimes if any of these threats are credable or just plots to scare people into submission, which obviously isn't happening. (Except Europeons, who are overrun with terrorists pretty much).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;" &gt;--&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;" &gt;&lt;em&gt;It does make you wonder though. Someday if we reach a point where they can attack places like Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, or Bethlahem, what will WE* do to stop it? A new world war? A simple counter strike to put them in their place? Well time will tell, whether these threats are real, or if they are just used to scare people into submission as I said before.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;" &gt;--&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;" &gt;And no, if your wondering I don't believe WE* will be hit again anytime soon.

The china profile is still being worked on in Microsoft Word so it may be a few more days before I post something interesting, like usual, or at least like sometimes. (Heh.) Anyways I got approved for a 10 dollar post at PayPerPost. It's a baby step to becoming a better more accomplished and somewhat money generating blogger. Although I still do it just becuase I like socializing and talking to others about random stuff. Anyways I gotta go, God Bless and keep blogging or doing whatever bloggers do in their spare time. (Myself, just eat, go to work, come home, watch tv, sleep, repeat cycle.) lol. Like a never ending ferris wheel ride, as such is life in some cases. Anyways enough with the phychology crap, and on with the not being here-ness for tonight.

The new Xbox 360 lineup was quite impressive, from a new Naruto game, to Assassin's Creed, and of course Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. All of these games present a future that is bright for the gaming industry, Microsoft included. The future looks great in my opinion. Tommorow I'm going to talk about the Nintendo and Sony conferences which I know will show some great stuff off for the gaming industry. Such as a resigned PSP, which is said to be much sleeker and smaller than the current PSP, and of course, some new Wii titles. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;But enough of my rambling, let's take a look at some of these new titles presented by Microsoft earlier this evening.

I’ve made several friends on PPP in the past few months, so exciting to finally get the chance to do this, I got approved today and while I’ve only been with PPP for about a few months, visiting wise, not using wise, I’ve learned quite a lot. PPP is a real just open opportunity, it’s got thousands of bloggers signed up for it and they all get paid to do what they love. Perhaps this is why I had to sign up for them.

No they aren't like New Yorks, or something, but they still reflect over such an amazing country. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;We have alot of problems right now in America, and alot of the world doesn't like us much, or at least it seems that way. But I believe in the spirit of freedom, peace and a country that was founded on morals. Alot of american's have forgotton what "morals" and "god" and things like that are. And while it's dissapointing to know that not everyone is "on board" this great country, (and let's face it some people should be thrown overboard) this country still has many a great things and despite it's hardships, perils and issues will always be one of the greatest countries on the face of this planet today. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Fireworks, BBQ's, parties, tons of fun for today, what are you guys doing?

Wordpress is a great blog publishing system, don't get me wrong, but it seems &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;(TO ME AT LEAST, DURHH)&lt;/span&gt; hard to use. Maybe I'm just an idiot, but really I just don't like any other choice besides Blogger. Another thing is this post actually isn't an advertisement venture or an attempt to purseude you into staying if your thinking about switching, although it could be if I want it to. (evil grin) But I digress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would love to hear some of your reasons for staying with Blogger to post your blog or such, and how easy it is to use compared to other big name blogging softwares such as Wordpress. And Yeah. Randomness in this post is obvious.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I would post a picture of the Blogger Icon and a "VS" icon and then the Wordpress icon but who do you think I am, a popular blogging outlet?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6331040109453066336-7617445989952346772?l=tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com/feeds/7617445989952346772/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6331040109453066336&amp;postID=7617445989952346772' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6331040109453066336/posts/default/7617445989952346772'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6331040109453066336/posts/default/7617445989952346772'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com/2007/06/why-i-stayed-with-blogger.html' title='Why I stayed with Blogger..'/><author><name>Awkward Situations</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18148115498490371596</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331040109453066336.post-8476583053484379442</id><published>2007-06-10T20:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-10T20:19:24.960-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Pokemon Diamond and Pearl --VideoGames--</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Hey guys. How's it going? Today's post is concerning poke'mon games, from Blue, Red, Green and Yellow, up to Sapphire, Ruby, LF, FR, Emerald and beyond ie: (the newest games, Diamond and Pearl).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This post is concerning Poke'mon Diamond and Pearl, two equally good games for your Nintendo DS system. The system itself in these games hasn't changed other than using the touch screen to select options on battles and certain other events. &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;The actual graphics have of course (if you've seen some of the screen's) improved with the introduction into 3D that Poke'mon in my opinion so desperately needed, the day and night cycle is back in which time goes by your own ds eternal clock from daytime, nightime and everything inbetween. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's overall story is pretty much like Emerald, and it's overall gameplay with the DS touch screen doesn't add much, but it's a solid game and at least a few weeks worth of fun for any DS owner. If your checking out games for the DS, You should consider giving one of these games a look see. They aren't amazingly well amazing, but they do provide enertainment and are pretty fun ways to eliminate work stress or just to play when you need something to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Addictive, fun and simple, Poke'mon Diamond and Pearl present themselves are games for the avid expert, and new coming poke'mon trainer alike. They have an easy system that's not hard to pick up, play and have fun with either. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All and all it's a solid game that should keep your ds on for awhile, so with that I give it a solid 9.2 out of 10.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#009900;"&gt;9.2/10&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_PSv6acEogS0/Rmy_I2NnkhI/AAAAAAAAADQ/doHe3AsjlUA/s1600-h/pokemon-diamond-pearl_61.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5074641038852198930" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_PSv6acEogS0/Rmy_I2NnkhI/AAAAAAAAADQ/doHe3AsjlUA/s320/pokemon-diamond-pearl_61.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6331040109453066336-8476583053484379442?l=tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com/feeds/8476583053484379442/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6331040109453066336&amp;postID=8476583053484379442' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6331040109453066336/posts/default/8476583053484379442'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6331040109453066336/posts/default/8476583053484379442'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com/2007/06/pokemon-diamond-and-pearl-videogames.html' title='Pokemon Diamond and Pearl --VideoGames--'/><author><name>Awkward Situations</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18148115498490371596</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_PSv6acEogS0/Rmy_I2NnkhI/AAAAAAAAADQ/doHe3AsjlUA/s72-c/pokemon-diamond-pearl_61.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331040109453066336.post-5450511697041604769</id><published>2007-06-08T20:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-08T20:43:12.479-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A Blast From the Past -- 90's Televsion -- Goosebumps</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Remember Goosebumps?

Obviously it's not full of gore, curse words and sexually explicit items, but it's still a creepy show, even today when im much older.

Their new single &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;"&lt;em&gt;DriveAlive&lt;/em&gt;"&lt;/span&gt; contains a whole bunch of great pop songs, but the best one, is &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;DriveAlive&lt;/span&gt;. To understand this just watch below, &lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;(note: If you dislike this two men will break into your house and molester you!

And unlike N'sync and other american pop boy bands the ones in Japan and Asia in a whole have a shelf life past 2 years and hold their "in" crowd for a long time.

The TV set should of course be easy to use, as well as affordable. As with any high-end purchase remember to ask the dealer about the service plan they offer for the product of purchase. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In addition, you would be wise to invest in a quality surge protector for your new &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a class="kLink" oncontextmenu="return false;" id="KonaLink4" onmouseover="adlinkMouseOver(event,this,4);" style="POSITION: static; TEXT-DECORATION: underline! important" onclick="adlinkMouseClick(event,this,4);" onmouseout="adlinkMouseOut(event,this,4);" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/technology-articles/plasma-tv-buying-guide-155574.html#" target="_new"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;television&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; as well as any other of your systems components.Visit local dealers to compare several lightweight display screens based on the factors you learn here. Then determine your best choices of all types of TV screens to make your decision of which would best fit your needs. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your decision should be based on your TV budget, preferred image display and the connection benefits it offers. By doing this you will guarantee you have purchased the best features and benefits for your money.Another good investment of your time is to talk with other plasma, LCD and DLP television owners, listen to their own experienced advice. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Find out what factors they find best in their TV screens, as well as any disadvantages they have noticed.When considering purchase of a television that is priced surprisingly low, check just exactly, what the price is on the shipping and handling, if buying online. Sometimes hidden charges are in place to make up for the difference in the sale price. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shipping on a plasma TV should be reasonably priced to its weight and handling.Buy a well-known product, or brand name that honors its policies.Always give special interest to the guarantee, warranty as well as service, and return policies of any high priced item including plasma TV's. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ask about the extended warranties purchase for your item. Check to see what these policies and warranties do cover by contract.Any genuine dealer online or off will have a warehouse and a showroom which you can visit. Having technical support is always a good sign of a quality product.Keep copies of all polices and paperwork of the transaction of buying a plasma TV. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Read your televisions instruction manuals with help in setting up the system and adjusting the setting preferences. The best approach is to establish which of the features you need, then decide how much money you want to spend, as well as researching the sets available to you.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6331040109453066336-864165782308997902?l=tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com/feeds/864165782308997902/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6331040109453066336&amp;postID=864165782308997902' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6331040109453066336/posts/default/864165782308997902'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6331040109453066336/posts/default/864165782308997902'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com/2007/05/plasma-tv-buying-guide-article-find.html' title='Plasma TV Buying Guide -- An Article Find'/><author><name>Awkward Situations</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18148115498490371596</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_PSv6acEogS0/Rl8CqPIXacI/AAAAAAAAADI/TTrEPLrkA8A/s72-c/plasma102-746462.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331040109453066336.post-3861296816145473548</id><published>2007-05-30T08:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-30T09:03:07.404-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='too'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='post'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='you'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='short'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='for'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='whys'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='weather'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='much'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hot'/><title type='text'>How hot is too hot for you?

What makes you want to sit back in a lawnchair outside on the porch and drink ice-tea while showing your hairy armpits to the viewing public? Is it 80, 90, or 100 or above? Or maybe you can't stand anything above 20 or 30 if your an artician (made-up word, but it looks cool). &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I personally like anything above &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;72&lt;/span&gt;.

Downloading all of them to me just seems kind of silly, when you can have it all in one in one program that has skins, tons of smilies, and customizable features. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No this isn't an advertisement for Trillian or Trillian Pro or their many wonderful services. Damn this does sound pretty advertising. But I have to admit if you have to choose between downloading, AIM, Yahoo!, MSN, and those other less important but equally innovative and cool, would you do it if I gave you all of that in one slim, small package? Well you most likely just would becuase it's the smart thing to do unless your into seperate IM Client features which, Trillian, Miranda and Pidgin are all starting to develop and use on their newest builds of their software releases. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And on that note, I bid you all a farewell until tomorrow when I will most likely rant on about how desperate Sony is getting in the Video Game Console and Handheld Console Wars. And why some people feel it neccesary to shoot, rape, or victimize others for a game system, whether it be handheld, console, or otherwise. The Technology we develop is getting to the point of no return where we can develop amazing things faster, better, and easier than ever before thought possible by humankind and alienkind and piekind.

All of my friends have had an account on &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Myspace&lt;/span&gt; for nearly 3 years going on 4-5 now. It's strange, I don't think &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Myspace&lt;/span&gt; is really a fad more than it is a place for creepy old men to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;solicit&lt;/span&gt; young girls and boys. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;--&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I've stayed away from &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Myspace&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;because&lt;/span&gt; of the horrors I've heard from it, (a story about someone who got stalked and stabbed via a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Myspace&lt;/span&gt; page) could be a normal chain letter or urban legend, I don't know. It just seemed like avoiding the site was the best thing to do until I felt a bit more secure with it. I've got 23 friends so far, most of them I don't even know, some I do, even some up and coming bands which &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;I'm&lt;/span&gt; guessing thought my &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;myspace&lt;/span&gt; profile was of the Japanese boy band "Lead" by the icon I posted of their hit &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;CD&lt;/span&gt;, "&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;DeadAlive&lt;/span&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;Well I basically just screwed myself over on that but oh well. I've tried to stay away from friend adders &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;because&lt;/span&gt; I feel better getting to know people than just adding random people I don't even know. Some of those included strippers, musicians, random dude with a double chin, and someone who lost their husband in an accident or heart attack or something like that. I respect you if your reading this by the way. It takes courage to fight the tears that come into your eyes when you've lost someone and come to the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;realization&lt;/span&gt; that they will never come back, only in your dreams. Of course you will see them again once you die but &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;I'm&lt;/span&gt; rambling on here.&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;Anyways this is getting boring and random so &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;I'm&lt;/span&gt; going to sign off for the night..erm, morning.

Specifically, the NASA footage is rather impressiv. And while we know for a fact that three of the examples given in this show have since been proven as hoaxes, the rest of the footage, to this day, remains a mystery to scientists, paranormal investigators and ugologists alike. So check it out, and let us know what you think!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;This is a great indepth show for those of you who are interested in those pieplates in the sky, aliens, paranormal, etc. It's not something I believe in persay, but it's still interesting to watch. It's also pretty funny becuase some of the footage is obviously falsified works of crafty and tedious hoaxer's.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;If your interested in watching this clip you can find it below, if your going to watch it, please remember that not everything you see on tv is true just becuase it's explained well. Even hoaxer's can explain their work using other people like friends and family. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;--&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Some of them I do admit are hard to debunk but it's just a good show for those of you who like this kind of thing. Lots of great pictures, NASA space cam pictures included, just nice stuff. So if your interested, get some popcorn, a blanket, and some pepsi (or cocain -- a.k.a Coca Cola) sit back, and enjoy!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Link: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=4234425471367323464&amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=4234425471367323464&amp;amp;hl=en&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_PSv6acEogS0/RjGweKTKspI/AAAAAAAAACo/HH7txw32a-Q/s1600-h/black%252520ufo%252520blue%252520sky2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5058017888721089170" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" height="209" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_PSv6acEogS0/RjGweKTKspI/AAAAAAAAACo/HH7txw32a-Q/s320/black%252520ufo%252520blue%252520sky2.jpg" width="320" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6331040109453066336-5393875541412781070?l=tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com/feeds/5393875541412781070/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6331040109453066336&amp;postID=5393875541412781070' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6331040109453066336/posts/default/5393875541412781070'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6331040109453066336/posts/default/5393875541412781070'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com/2007/04/show-pick-of-week.html' title='Show Pick of the Week -- UFO&apos;s Best Evidence EVER'/><author><name>Awkward Situations</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18148115498490371596</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_PSv6acEogS0/RjGweKTKspI/AAAAAAAAACo/HH7txw32a-Q/s72-c/black%252520ufo%252520blue%252520sky2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331040109453066336.post-8377567238994971021</id><published>2007-04-18T04:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-18T04:50:34.950-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='campus'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shooting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='college'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tech'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='act'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='violence'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='horrible'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cho'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='virginia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='of'/><title type='text'>School Shooting in Virginia -- Bound to Happen</title><content type='html'>Why are we seeing so many school shootings these days? From Columbine, the Amish School Shootings, the shootings last year at Virginia Tech and now this, which grimly re-wrote past history as the worst school shooting in American history. But this isn't something that should of been -- something that should of been avoided. However, it must be said with &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;today's&lt;/span&gt; immoral, unorganized society that it was bound to happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;I'm&lt;/span&gt; frankly &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;surprised&lt;/span&gt; it didn't happen sooner. It's something that we must &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;realize&lt;/span&gt; is a real threat and start taking action NOW. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;I'm&lt;/span&gt; sure you are just as much as me having a heartache for these poor souls. So young to die, so much life to pursue, such a wonderful and grand future for these bright young people. Taken away by a senseless act of violence. It's sickening but reawakens the stance on gun control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No I don't believe we should remove guns, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;because&lt;/span&gt; they are used for protection. However I think we should eliminate the use of guns without further &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;diving&lt;/span&gt; into the persons background and history. Looking into the future I hope to see something done about this all. God bless you all.

"How do I?" By: TORC</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is one of my first large scale "personal improvement" articles so I may seem a bit, eh nervous at times but this is mostly how I am now in life and I figure it might help others. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What makes a man but his soul and his body, his attitudes, his opinions, feelings, etc, etc. I remember the days when I used to worry about making friends in a new school, job or business, it's always and (still is) very tough to do sometimes. But I have learned over the past few years or so (20 or more) that life is a wonderful thing and to share it with others, aka friends, family and relatives, is worth even more to me than just being alone in life. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Today's group of minorities and adolescents are all in to computers, video games, and messing around with drugs. &lt;span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"&gt;Many &lt;/span&gt;of them, simply choose not to be helped, with the excuse that "they are a lost cause". But this isn't true. Reason with your child, ask them to listen, to learn, to hear. Let them speak their mind and speak yours. Don't just roll your eyes and give up. That never works. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A parent needs to just reason with their kid, and tell them they are not a lost cause. Whether they listen or not, eventually it will sink it with them. Once you've gotten your child to open to the world, help him or her make friends. The topic of this subject. They most likely are worried that the kids or people will think they are "gay" or "uncool", or maybe they just don't want to hang out with the "new kid on the block". It's obvious that at least in some schools that will never be the case. (hence, the public schools, which are a hell-hole for any child). &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tell them that to make friends it's better to talk with someone, someone they find interesting or cool. And so what if they don't like you back. You at least tried, so try again, you will eventually make friends no matter how bad the school situation is. Now whether those friends are good or not, has to be ultimately the parents decision. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note: I am in no way a doctor or a PhD, I'm just giving my honest opinion on the subject, it's not my fault if your kid gets punched in the eye or kicked in the testicles.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6331040109453066336-5370469813304138273?l=tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com/feeds/5370469813304138273/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6331040109453066336&amp;postID=5370469813304138273' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6331040109453066336/posts/default/5370469813304138273'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6331040109453066336/posts/default/5370469813304138273'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com/2007/04/i-want-to-make-friends-how-do-i-by-torc.html' title='I want to make friends.. &quot;How do I?&quot; By: TORC'/><author><name>Awkward Situations</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18148115498490371596</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331040109453066336.post-4429036104877517898</id><published>2007-04-09T19:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-09T19:12:46.918-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mechanics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diets'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='carb'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='read'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='low'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='great'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='article'/><title type='text'>The Mechanics of Low Carb Diets</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Every now and then I like to find an article thats really good, and I put it on this blog. (It's not becuase im lazy, but I find these to be good things to read) &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By: Linda Williams &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By now the term low carb is practically a household term synonymous with losing weight and getting in shape. This diet seems to be successful and many people rave about it. The idea seems simple enough: eat lower carbs and lose weight. But it's worthwhile to examine the mechanics of low carb dieting and what makes them effective.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For most people, removing carbohydrates from your diet will greatly decrease your overall caloric intake. Simply by decreasing your calories you are eating less will lose weight as a result. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In addition to eating fewer overall calories, by abstaining from all of the starchy and sugary carbs that you would normally eat, your body will now have to break down glycogen in the liver and muscles to free glucose for use as fuel. Glycogen is the way glucose is stored in the muscles and liver. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This glycogen is made up primarily of water. During the process of converting it to glucose, water is released so the initial weight loss is almost entirely from water but this can amount to a substantial change in weight.In the next two weeks that an individual is on a low-carb diet they will notice that the extreme initial weight loss experienced slows after the initial effects of water being released slows down. It is at this time that your body begins to burn fat instead of releasing water. This will be the case as long as your carbohydrate intake remains below 50 or 60 grams daily. From this point, for the duration of your diet, the body is burning fat as its fuel. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When the body burns fat for fuel, ketones are produced as a by product. Ketones are released from the body in the urine, through the kidneys. An elevated ketone level in the kidneys suppresses your appetite, aiding in further weight loss. It is very important to drink increased amounts of water during this phase of your low carb diet in order to prevent dehydration.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Low carb dieting is not for everyone. Not everyone's body can withstand this eating plan. How long you remain on a low carb diet is a personal choice. As with any new diet or sudden change in eating habits, before beginning, it is recommended that you consult a doctor or a physician.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6331040109453066336-4429036104877517898?l=tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com/feeds/4429036104877517898/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6331040109453066336&amp;postID=4429036104877517898' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6331040109453066336/posts/default/4429036104877517898'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6331040109453066336/posts/default/4429036104877517898'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com/2007/04/mechanics-of-low-carb-diets.html' title='The Mechanics of Low Carb Diets'/><author><name>Awkward Situations</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18148115498490371596</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331040109453066336.post-1660964968692994383</id><published>2007-04-08T19:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-08T19:58:23.921-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hilarious'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='knew'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='random'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='who'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stupid'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='retarded'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='funny'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='annoying'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='not'/><title type='text'>Who Knew?

No it's about the glorious rising (risen) of my (and I hope yours too) personal savior, Jesus Christ. It's fun to celebrate holidays with things like Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny, true, but we should never forget the true meaning. Even if your not a christian or a believer in Christ or God, Easter represents hope for us all. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;The Pope made his speech and highlighted the "end of suffering for us all". It's true, the world is suffering and we need to fix the problems at hand. I feel that this holiday is not only one of the most single greatest events in Mankind's history (if not the most, besides the birth of Jesus ie: Christmas) but a message. A message of hope, love and peace for all of us, not just me, but you, and that man on the street corner with a single cardboard box and no food, for that lady in Africa living in a makeshift metal piece(s) house, or that jewish man being persecuted for his faith and his life. We must understand that Jesus loves us one and all, no matter what race, ethiticity, faith or otherwise. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;I hope you all have an awesome Easter evening and a great new year of hope, dreams, and love. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;God Bless you one and all! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_PSv6acEogS0/Rhlia6O5YVI/AAAAAAAAACQ/6T74I98xTso/s1600-h/easter.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5051176671520579922" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_PSv6acEogS0/Rhlia6O5YVI/AAAAAAAAACQ/6T74I98xTso/s320/easter.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_PSv6acEogS0/Rhlia6O5YVI/AAAAAAAAACQ/6T74I98xTso/s1600-h/easter.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6331040109453066336-881077907186589493?l=tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com/feeds/881077907186589493/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6331040109453066336&amp;postID=881077907186589493' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6331040109453066336/posts/default/881077907186589493'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6331040109453066336/posts/default/881077907186589493'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tonsofrandomcrap.blogspot.com/2007/04/happy-easter-may-we-remember-true.html' title='Happy Easter -- May We Remember the True Meaning..'/><author><name>Awkward Situations</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18148115498490371596</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_PSv6acEogS0/Rhlia6O5YVI/AAAAAAAAACQ/6T74I98xTso/s72-c/easter.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331040109453066336.post-1484457587312279054</id><published>2007-04-07T19:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-07T19:11:17.592-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Copyright Claims Stink! Related to YouTube</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;First off, this isn't the Viacom claim issue Im talking about. All though that did sufficiantly screw me and all of you over if you liked watching South Park or other shows like that from Comedy Central or any outlet of Viacom on YouTube. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;--&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;No friends this is about a claim from a film company who got 12 of my videos that I had worked hard to edit to fit down to size and still maintain quality all in less than few days. I removed the videos some at least myself but alot of them simply vanished with nothing to explain but "Taken down by copyright claims". Which brings me to this topic. I think it's right that we have copyrights but not when they harm the viewing audience's chance to view movies, which (the companies don't relize) actually helps promote their items, movies, etc(s). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Now if your wondering what I did to get that claim against me I uploaded a complete movie to YouTube, BUT Understand the BUT here, I gave full credit to the company who made the movie, as well as tell them beforehand and never got rejected for it. And now they did this to me. I won't specify the company, nor the movie involved but I do feel somewhat cheated and letdown by YouTube that they could allow users to be stripped of their hard worked video editors. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Eh but I guess some people may never learn about whats right and wrong anymore.

There are different reasons why companies pursue it. The popular ones include: getting more sales; branding, increase in visibility, and/or market share; or to introduce a new product line or services. According to recent trend branding and positioning is not only limited to offline world, Internet and Search Engines such as Google, Lycos, Yahoo, MSN, AOL etc., also play an important role in achieving this objective.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;How does it relate to Internet and Search Engines? If your product is not right in front of your customer at the respective stores where these products are typically purchased, you can certainly say that you are missing out on sales, market share, and branding. The same concept applies to the Internet and search engines. If your web site doesn't shows up in the top rankings for your offered services and products in major search engines you can calculate how much business and branding you are missing out on? SEM is a Combination Art &amp; Science.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;According to SEM Experts, Search Engine Marketing is both an art and science. Its goal is to optimize a site's ability to be found on Internet search engines and directories for the most targeted keywords / phrase by employing various Search Engine Optimization strategies and drive qualified traffic to the web site. This leads to more quality referrals &amp; hence increase in sales.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Search Engines provide Target Traffic.Search engines are the most widely used means of finding information on the Internet. It provides an effective method of driving highly targeted visitors to your web site. A new study shows that the Web has grown to more than 2.1 billion documents and is growing at the rate of 7 million pages per day. Another study indicates that people who spend five or more hours a week online, spend about 71 percent of their time searching for information. That goes to show that how important are search engines in branding and marketing of products and services through your web site. It is the No.1 way people find your web site.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Positioning your right web site at right place. If your business's main product is "fashion garments", you have undoubtedly positioned your product at most of the department and fashion stores. Following the same suit, SEM Experts position your product/website at the top of the search engine results so when users search for " fashion garments" roughly 1,500 times daily on the major search engines, your website shows up in the top rankings. Now suppose this campaign is conducted for 8 months (including the maintenance) and there are 1,500 searches a day and your website is seen as #1 daily, the users will begin familiarizing your company / brand name, thus helping in better brand recall and easy sales.How does it differ from Offline Marketing approach?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;With a successful search engine marketing campaign you can accomplish every goal and objective that is sought after with offline marketing and advertising. There are two major differences between offline and online marketing: 1) Marketing your website via search engine marketing, email marketing, banner adv. have proven to be drastically less expensive than their offline equivalents, and 2) Search engine marketing facilitates you to demonstrate your product throughout the world or whichever geographical area you chose but with offline marketing, your marketing and selling efforts are restricted to a particular area in a city or town as the case may be. Why is Search Engine Marketing more effective?The ROI for SEM is excellent compared to any other online marketing means, especially when compared to online banner adv., direct mail campaign etc. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;With SEM, you get better conversion rates, lower cost-per-click, and lower acquisition costs. A study by market intelligence firm NPD Group, say "consumers are five times more likely to purchase products after seeing search listings versus online banner advertisement". In the same market research report it was found that high search engine listings drive the highest awareness or branding for a website, with consumers recalling websites 60% of the time from search engine listings #1-5, and roughly 20% for online banner adv. Among the Top search engines, Google is considered to be the major source of referrals for all web sites and the main target of every SEM campaign. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;It is followed by others major engines and directories such as Lycos, MSN, Yahoo, AOL, AltaVista. Search Engine Marketing is no trifle task. It is an art and science of applying the knowledge and experience gained over the years researching the search engine's distinct criteria, unique indexing parameters or algorithm. It requires a calculated approach guided by proven and ethical methodologies to deliver the results.With usage of Internet increasing in multiple folds in India and abroad, search engine marketing is an effective and appealing means of marketing and advertising to reach your target audience and cannot be ignored.

He's so full of himself and his own personal appeal that he cannot see how truly repulsive his show is, (and trust me, if you've seen it, the funniest parts ARE the prank calls into his show). Now you would think that a public access host (especially considering how big they want to make their show appear so that it may latch on to bigger networks and such) would be able to defend his show with at least a few good comeback. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This cannot be said for Gorgeous George. The man spurts out more brain damaging "so-called" comeback then a dead whale on a beach in the summer. His appeal is only to those who need someone to "relieve" themselves to and cannot find a date or anyone subtle on the internet to "cyber" with. Now knowing this, you may be thinking why I wrote an entry on this low to earth life form. Well it's simple, he has been dormant and I think he needs to understand that his show (even though he took off calls to get revenge on the prank callers) that his show will never be successful. The fact that he was on a magazine intituled "Success" must either be a Photoshop job or some really good bribing. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Either way it must be said that the prank callers are part of a site that equally is low on the standards of society and the universe in general. What site am I referring to? Something awful.com. Now some of you may think it's a funny, cool website. And maybe it is, but the majority of what can be found on SA.com is mostly things rejected by other large internet(s) website. Maybe it should be understood that's why it's called "Something Awful".&lt;br /&gt;Not defending Gorgeous George of course, the SA "goons" are much more appealing to me than Gorgeous George's pointless "skits" and attempts at humor.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;He's constantly tried to formulate good comeback both on his show and when insulted via email. It just so happened that he sent one of these goons two emails after they mocked his threats to get the authorities on him. Apparently, he would send his beautiful girlfriend Sue, to attack them and bite off their scrotums. Of course, Sue, proving to be unloyal, took the ring George got for their marriage and hocked it for meth, never to be seen again.Maybe it should be said that this topic is longer than any of the other "real issues" on this blog. But hey, it's not all seriousness here. Gotta live the party when the bandwagon zips on by. Have a great Week!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;PS: If your curious, you might of seen this post of mine on another of my squarespace blogs, "A Random World".
