Google Search Problem Fix

2011-06-11T14:14:00.000-07:00

I make my living on the internet, and spend a lot of time do Google searches. Imagine my frustration when I would get sent to the wrong pages, or receive a message that a virus attack had been resolved by my Norton software, every time I tried to do a Google Search.
After doing a little research, I found out that this virus is relatively new and that most of the security software out there, don't have fixes for it. While Google searching how to resolve my Google search problems, I came across this Redirect Fixit and it actually worked.
Check it out for yourself, and stop being annoyed or denied the use of Google.

Casey Anthony Coverage Puts Spotlight on Nancy Grace

2011-06-09T21:16:00.000-07:00

Unless you live under a rock, then you know that the Casey Anthony murder trial is currently ongoing. The case first came to the attention of most of us through the Nancy Grace show. It has now moved to live coverage of the trial on TruTV and HLN everyday.
Nancy Grace has covered the Casey Anthony story from the beginning and continues to do so. She is not afraid to show her dislike for Anthony and what she is alleged to have done. If you have ever wondered where the television host and former attorney's passion for supporting victim's rights comes from, you might actually be shocked.
She actually was the victim of a very tragic and violent crime herself, at an early age, that changed her life forever. Check out this article on Yahoo below that explains it all, it's actually quite interesting.
Fiance Murder Changes Nancy Grace Life Forever

Best Time Ever To Become A Millionaire

2011-06-02T18:30:00.000-07:00

A book out by Steve Siebold called "How Rich People Think" claims there has never been a better time to become a millionaire. He has studied millionaires for many years and found differences in the way they think as opposed to most people. I have to admit much of what he says seems to be true.
Siebold's biggest point is most of us are taught our money habits by people who don't have any real money. He also talks about how millionaires are created when they find a solution to a problem, and the world has many problems.
He is claiming there will be more new self-made millionaires in the U.S. in the next five years than at any other time in our history. The book really shows you the difference in the way people who become rich think as opposed to most of us. Maybe reading the book will make us one of those millionaires.

Cucumbers Could Kill You

2011-05-31T13:37:00.000-07:00

At least 16 people are known to have died in Europe after contracting Ecoli, most likely from cucumbers. Yes, cucumbers. The ones in question were grown in Spain. While there have been no reported cases in the U.S., authorities are still tracing the trail of the produce.
I cannot think of a better reason for us all to head out to our backyards and start turning over a little soil. You would be amazed how much fresh produce you could get out of such a small area. A tomato plant, a pepper plant, some cucumbers, carrots, parsley, lettuce can all be easily grown in your backyard. All without the threat of Ecoli or other horrible diseases.
Afterall, you can't get any fresher vegetables than those grown in your own backyard.

Sell Your Pictures For Great Second Income

2011-05-25T20:46:00.000-07:00

I write for a number of sites on the internet, such as Yahoo and my various blogs. Every site will tell you the same thing, an article that is accompanied by pictures will get more views than one without. The question I had was where do I get pictures to add to my articles?
What I found out is there are quite a few sites you can go to purchase pictures for use with your materials. The costs are usually quite low, or sometimes you will need to become a member. I have done both, afterall if you need a picture of Dale Earnhardt Jr. or a product or place you are writing about what better way than to just purchase one cheaply?
After doing this quite a few times, the writer in me began to wonder, where do all these pictures come from? What I found out was these sites actually purchase pictures to then resell or offer a commission to the photographer every time the photo is used.
Most of the people supplying the photos are everyday people with an ordinary digital camera. The best part is you download your pics to one of these sites once and get paid every time someone uses it. This is a great way to earn a secondary income, I found.
The number of sites you can sell your photos to is quite extensive, but there is a program available that gives you all the information you need to get started. The site even gives you a phone number to call where you can speak to a real person who will help you start making money with your photos.
I have included a link to the site below, check it out and start making some money. Who knows maybe one of your photos will end up with one of my articles on Yahoo, wouldn't that be cool?

What a Man Really Wants in a Woman

2011-05-22T08:03:00.000-07:00

I hear women complaining about the bad behavior of men all the time. Usually, the conversation starts with a celebrity, such as Arnold Schwartzenegger or Jesse James, who is married to a beautiful and seemingly perfect woman, but ultimately cheats.
Often times, the conversation then turns to someone they know personally who is either currently having or has had trouble with their man. The conversation usually ends with something like "All men are pigs."
Well guess what, not all men are bad. In fact many of us want the same things in life as women do. A happy healthy family, financial stability, and a true partner in life.
Women just don't know how to pick the right guy first off. You can't fall for a man who has habits that may be appealing to a single woman, and then expect that man to become a good family man.
I am a man, and I know what I want in a woman. First she needs to be able to hold a conversation with me, trust me I've been in a committed relationship for 5 years and you will do a lot more talking than having sex, eventually anyway.
Secondly, you need to have some common interests. I mean genuine interests, not just pretending to like something because he does. If you hate sports and get involved with a sports lover, you will end up miserable.
I could go on all day, but maybe the best thing I could do is instead recommend a book I recently came across. I know what your thinking, why is a guy reading a book for women on how to pick the right guy ? Well, besides this blog I also write for Yahoo and from time to time I find myself reading just for the sake of generating ideas. I have to say, however, this book seemed to have many of the thing I would tell a woman. You can click on any of the links in this post to check it out.

Tattoo Lovers Unite

2011-05-20T11:03:00.000-07:00

There are two types of people in this world, those who have tattoos, and those that don't. You either understand that a tattoo is much more than just some ink on your skin. It is an expression of your beliefs, a representive of your past, and even a hope for your future.
While that hasn't changed, and never will, what has changed is your reliance on your local tattoo artist being the only source for your potential designs. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the person currently doing your work. Quite the opposite, if you have found someone you are happy and comfortable with, you are blessed in the world of ink.
What I have found, however, is there are more and more resources becoming available to not only the customer, but also the tattoo artist via the internet. A new site I stumbled upon offers so much, I was truly amazed. The site, Tattoo Me Now, not only has potential designs you can use, but also allows you to create your own. You can then print these designs and take them to your artist and have them used there. The site also allows you to sign up for updates about tattoo events in your area, and much more.
I was truly impressed, but like a tattoo, everyone is different, so check it out for yourself. I think you'll love it too.

I Actually Took a Survey That Paid

2011-05-18T20:39:00.000-07:00

I have researched a great amount of topics while writing my articles for Yahoo. Everything from home-based businesses to how to increase your chances at winning the lottery. What I learned most is there is no such thing as easy money, at least when it comes to significant amounts of money.
I do, however, participate in paid emails, and make a little extra money. One day while discussing this with one of my friends she told me about some nice money she was making taking surveys. I had tried this before. There were programs that awarded points toward cash or prizes, but you would have to spend all day to possibly earn $5. In fact, many of the ones I checked out were pretty worthless.
I decided to try her paid survey site, and much to my surprise I actually made a little money. Like anything else, you get out what you put in. The more surveys you qualify for and the more time you can put in the more money you will earn.
While I'll never get rich taking these surveys, it's better than sitting at a desk all day. Check it out and let me know how you do, and if you have any suggestions be sure to let me know, so I can pass it on to others.

Eat Chocolate, Get Paid

2011-05-18T19:00:00.000-07:00

Everyone loves chocolate, and everyone loves money. Wouldn't it be great if you could combine these two loves? Well, you actually can, thanks to Dove Chocolate. They have started a program where you can host chocolate tasting parties in your own home, and make money by doing it.
This sounds like a great way to make a secondary income, see what you think by reading the article on Yahoo.

Miami Heat Lead Chicago Bulls at Halftime of Game 2

2011-05-18T18:48:00.000-07:00

The Miami Heat lead the Chicago Bulls 48 to 46 at the half. Chicago started out stone cold from the field, only to storm back and take the lead. However, Miami was able to regain the lead just before halftime.
Chicago looks like the better team, they just aren't shooting well, and Lebron James has two fouls.
I think Chicago takes this game too.
If that was me, and I was Miami, I would start making my vacation plans.

Attention Writers: Great Source For Material

2011-05-10T10:35:00.000-07:00

If you are a writer, then you know there are times when you mind just seems to go blank. Whether you write books, articles for sites like Yahoo's Associated Content, or just for your own blog you have definitely faced this problem head on.
There are times when ideas flow so fast you risk losing them if you don't write them down immediately. Keeping a list of ideas, when you have them, becomes a great resource for when you have gone blank. However, there are still times when you have written about everything you can think of.
Next thing you know you are at Google Trends looking for ideas. Scanning news websites, looking for inspiration. I have done all that, but nothing has worked better for me than an afternoon spent in Starbucks.
The things people openly talk about in a coffee shop surrounded by strangers has become both amazing and fascinating to me. In fact I have generated two articles for Associated Content on just what I have overheard. Check them out to see what I'm talking about by clicking the links below.

Check out these Coke bottles due to hit shelves in June of 2011. I found this at a blog called AnnaLikes. It is filled with great examples of visual arts you might never see anywhere else. Check it out some really cool stuff there.

Marijuana and the Price is Right

2011-03-28T16:51:00.000-07:00

Obviously I have your attention now. You see I have another blog JERZEEBABY where I blog about NJ. I have recently written about a mayor falling to his death skydiving, a beach where building a sandcastle can get you arrested and even how you can get ideas for your tattoo from Miami Ink. But no posts get the views of two about marijuana and one about the Price is Right.
If I could just get a picture of Bob Barker smoking a joint while Snoop Dogg says nueter your ho's, I would probably overload the site.

Donald Trump Roast First Step To Run For President

2011-03-22T15:02:00.000-07:00

Unless you live under a rock, you probably heard Donald Trump was recently roasted on the Comedy Channel. They made fun of his hair, his television show, Celebrity Apprentice, and his string of wives. Snoop Dogg even ridiculed his penis.
While the show was pretty funnny, with the exception of "The Situation" from MTV's Jersey Shore, there are rumblings that it actually had a much bigger purpose. With a possible run at the Presidency in his future, was Donald trying to soften his image with the American people? Afterall, allowing people to openly criticize and poke fun at you, while you smile and take it in does show he can laugh at his own faults. He is human, he's Donald Trump, and he's not perfect.
I myself have issued a true challenge to Mr. Trump, you want my vote show me you can first fix Camden, NJ. Many of the problems Camden has may actually be more difficult to deal with than anything Obama is dealing with. He can summon the troops any time he feels and can print his own money. I, for one, actually think Trump can fix Camden. Read about it in my article Donald Trump Can Save Camden

Dale Earnhardt jr. Actually Smiled

2011-03-21T16:54:00.000-07:00

Nascar fans saw something they haven't seen in awhile. Dale jr. was actually smiling after his races this weekend at Bristol. I wrote earlier in the season how he needs to start having fun and gain some confidence back. Check out my Yahoo article at Dale Earnhardt jr. Needs To Start Having Fun to see if you agree.

Marijuana Growers Needed

2011-03-21T12:31:00.000-07:00

Acording to the blog JERZEEBABY the state of NJ might actually have a shortage of pot farmers and distributors. The state legalized medical marijuana a year ago, but has yet to start distribution. I didn't know it took that long to grow a good weed crop. Seriously check out the blog entry, kinda funny!

Increase Your Chances At Winning The Lottery

2011-03-14T12:16:00.000-07:00

Wouldn't it be nice to win the lottery? It seems simple enough you select some numbers, give the cashier the money, take your tickets, and pray. But did you know there are ways you can increase your odds? I researched the lottery extensively and wrote an article for Yahoo on the subject. I was quite surprised by my discoveries, check them out at NJ Lottery Increase Your Chances At Winning.

Flight Simulator Lets You Test Your Potential Pilot Skills And It's Fun

2011-03-12T16:08:00.000-08:00

Many of us have dreamed of living the glamarous life of a pilot. Whether it be of a commercial jetliner, traveling to exotic and interesting locations throughout the world or as a fighter pilot battling other pilots. You may just dream of the freedom a small private plane would give you or the convenience of your own personal jet.
Sadly many of us will do nothing more than dream as we make excuses about not having enough money or time to get our pilots license. The solution to all of this just may be a Flight Simulator. A simulator is much more than a video game it allows you to choose a type of plane and a location. It really is like sitting behind the controls of a real plane.
So if you always wanted to see what it would be like to fly a plane or are considering giving it a try for real, then check out this Flight Simulator Link

Mega Millions Winner May Have to Split Jackpot With Abusive Ex

2011-01-22T14:28:00.000-08:00

A 29 year old mother of two, Holly Lahti, who was one of the two winners of the $380 million Mega lottery game on January 4th, may have to split her share with her ex-husband. The two separated in 2003, shortly after he was arrested for abusing her, however they never filed for divorce. As per the laws in Idaho, he has a claim to the jackpot also. She and her daughters have been in hiding since she was announced as a winner.
I understand the last thing she wants to do is make the man who abused her rich. If that was me, I would give him his share on the condition he put the children in his will. She will still have enough to live very well, and he will become one of those lottery horror stories. Probably overdose or wrap his truck around a tree. Then the kids can get whatever is left. Win win

Blog Offering Tips To Win On Scratch Offs

2011-01-19T09:35:00.000-08:00

The blog JERZEEBABY is offering a way to get tips on winning at scratch off lottery tickets. If that was me, and I was just blindly buying tickets hoping to win, this is something I would definitely look into.

Celebrity Apprentice Has Beens Rehab From Donald Trump

2011-01-16T07:48:00.000-08:00

The cast for the next season of "Celebrity Apprentice" has been announced. The list of "celebrities" looks a lot like the guest list at a rehab center. Gary Busey, Richard Hatch, Jose Canseco, and Lil John are just the trouble makers. Then you have the washed up singers in David Cassidy, Mark McGrath, Meatloaf, and Dionne Warwick. Add in some just plain crazies in LaToya Jackson, Lisa Rinna, and Star Jones along with a deaf actress in Marlee Matlin and let the craziness begin.
What I want to know is what kind of apprentice is Donald Trump looking for. A future convict. A future drug addicted homeless person. I don't think any of these people would be qualified to be his doorman when all is said and done.
Too bad the show isn't on cable and didn't focus on the behind the scenes. I mean how soon before Jose Conseco realizes Marlee Matlin is deaf not just ignoring him. How soon before Lil John pulls a gun on Gary Busey. How soon before we get a new band, Partridge Sugar Meatloaf.
If someone doesn't die or get arrested on this season it will be too bad, uh, I mean a miracle.

TastyKakes Gets $6 Million Dollar Loan, 6 Months To Repay?

2011-01-15T12:55:00.000-08:00

TastyKake has announced they have secured $6 million in loans and other forms of relief. That's the good news for all us Krimpet and Candy Kake fans. The bad news is this funding only gives them 6 months to either refinance their debt or sell the company. Who did they borrow from? Tony Soprano?
Six months to decide the fate of an entire company. A company that is iconic in Southern Jersey and Philadelphia. I wrote previously, if that was me, I would have a massive bake sale. Sadly what will probably end up being sold is the company.
Let's all show our support and next time you are at the grocery store throw a box or two of TastyKake products in the cart. If possible they might even taste better if you think you might be saving some jobs at the same time.

What's Wrong With Dale Earnhardt jr.?

2011-01-10T16:57:00.000-08:00

Dale Earnhardt jr. struggled in 2010 with no wins and a 21st place final standings for the Sprint Cup. He has proven in the past, he has the talent to win on this level. He has an owner in Rick Hendrick who supplies him with the best equipment. So what's wrong? If that was me, and I was Dale jr., I would read the following article Dale Earnhardt jr.

Check Out These White Lion Cubs

2011-01-08T14:08:00.000-08:00

These white lion cubs were born on Nov 16 at an Argentine zoo. If that was me, and I ran that zoo I would be marketing these animals on everything. How often do you get to help finance a zoo with cuteness.
