David Cook Plays Ball With Kimberly Caldwell

noreply@blogger.com (JSB) — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 11:18:00 +0000

Look who David Cook is taking out to the ball game.

The American Idol winner caught a game at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday with season two contestant Kimberly Caldwell, who was singing the national anthem.

Cook and Caldwell appeared to be trying to keep their relationship under wraps, but there was no denying to eyewitnesses that they were an item. Instead of taking the standard field-level seats awarded to anthem singers, Caldwell joined Cook in an exclusive dugout seat out of sight of the big-screen cameras....

Kung Fu Panda
In an animated ancient China populated by talking animals, the world's most malevolent warrior is the snow leopard Tai Lung. When Tai Lung escapes from prison, all seems lost until a prophecy points to a heroic Dragon Warrior destined to save the day! Problem is, the chosen one happens to be Po, a lazy, clumsy dumpling addict whose girth puts the "giant" back in "giant panda."

L.A. teen embarking on crazy around-the-world voyage

noreply@blogger.com (JSB) — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 02:50:00 +0000

By Eamonn Brennan

Exploration. It's one of the founding tenets of advanced Western society, but the furthest us coddled modern people ever get is, say, a cab around a big city, or a flight to a safe, sanitized European tourist trap. Few of us still foster that pinnacle of human curiosity. Most of us just stay put.

Not Los Angeles-area 16-year old Zac Sunderland. On May 31, the high school sailor is taking human exploration to an admirable and frightening level, as he'll attempt to become the youngest person to ever sail solo across the world. Yes, you read that right: across the world.

Yep. That's pretty much the whole world.
Logistics, you ask. OK: Zac purchased his boat, a 35-footer, with $6,000 he's saved since he was little. That price is much, much cheaper than the actual cost of his boat, but Sunderland's father is an accomplished yachstman himself, and used his connections to secure a cheap boat for Zac. For navigation and communication, the Sunderlands were able to get a free phone and the likely bill (maybe $50,000, maybe more) paid for through sponsorship, so Sunderland will be able to communicate with his parents from anywhere in the world. And yes, he's bringing his homework with him.

As this is 2008, Sunderland will be blogging the trip on his homepage. I'll be honest: This is the single coolest thing a 16-year old has ever done. (Except for Alexander the Great; wasn't he like 14 when he conquered the world? Whatever.) I couldn't even navigate my comparably tiny hometown -- in my comparably more manageable Cutlass Supreme -- when I was 16. Zac Sunderland will be navigating the entire freaking world. Godspeed, Zac.

Career or Family? Which one is more important?

noreply@blogger.com (JSB) — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 08:20:00 +0000

Ano kayang halaga ng tagumpay sa career if it has been achieved at the expense of the family. What profit does a man have kung mawawala naman ang kanyang pamilya? OO nga, meron siyang salapi na milyon ang halaga, magandang mansyon, travels around the world, and cavorts with an array of girls, women, and ladies, pero naman ang kapalit kung ikaw naman ay being hated by your daughters and is the mortal enemy of your sons. Can success in career really make up for failure at home? Which then is more important, wealth or family. A great number of us would readily say family. Pero totoo kaya na ang ating sinasabi ay ating ginagawa. But do we walk our talk ika nga? Are we willing to translate our mindsets into concrete actions? Day by day, we are bombarded by 52 million dollar questions, Sino ba ang mahalaga ang mga anak ko o ang trabaho ko. To my fellow employees, I don't know how you react out there or would Answer my questions. In my case, as a Property Consultant who always spend overtime in the office and on the field to be able to meet quotas and submit deadline reports come month-end or cut-off period, I have made unforgivable mistakes. If I have to live my life again, I would need to overhaul my priorities, to rechannel the efforts that I Have been exerting with passions and commitment . I thought all along na ang Lahat ng ginagawa kong pagpapahirap at pagtratrabaho to the max to get a promotion, I am doing it all for my wife, for the family. But I was wrong . Today I know better. Now if my wife or member of my family is on the phone I will make sure that I attend to them first, never mind if there are urgent things to attend or papers to submit to my superior, after all they can wait for 10! minutes..... but if I deny the 10 minutes that is so important to them, it would have a lasting effect than to my Boss who might be replaced in a couple of years. My family is my top priority , period. It is not a choice between my family and my career. MY FAMILY IS THE REASON WHY I NEED A CAREER. My career will come and go, employers can come and go but one's family Will remain even beyond the grave . Now I know that MY first duty is toward my loved ones. I should put my time where my heart belongs. Today if I will to do it all over again, I'd reverse my priorities . I will make sure I will be there, I will file my vacation leave and if my Boss rejected it because I need to attend to a company function where I am required to attend, This time I am willing to become an average corporate officer, a so-so business executive but a great father. I'm willing to be reprimanded by my Boss for a late report but not hated by a son or daughter for not remembering her birthday every year in the future.....na ilalabas ko siya the whole day and cherish the moments every minute dahil alam ko hindi ko na maibabalik ito kapag lumaki na sila at kung gawin ko man later, baka huli na. There are more important matters compared to corporate business meetings, Family peace and love- these are the ones that matter most. BUT I SPEAK ONLY FOR MYSELF. I DO NOT IMPOSE VALUES ON YOU GUYS OUT THERE. If you think possessions are more important than family, go ahead. Spend 20 hours in the office, bring home your corporate work. Neglect your wife.. don't spend quality time with your kids. Don't attend important family gatherings. Find work that you are away for a week and only meet your family every week-ends, oh what a waste. Delegate raising the children to your spouse. Leave the young kids to the nanny. Let the driver brings your kids to school. Ask someone to represent in your son college graduation. If you find something wrong at home, don't mind it, anyway your concentration is in your job. You have your career remember? Don't greet your father and mother on their anniversary. Spend all your time in the company. Baka mawala ang tiwala ng Boss mo sa iyo sayang ang pinagpaguran mo ng matagal. If you have aging parents, don't visit them. enjoy your career in isolation. Drink, dance, be merry, But in the end, you lose all the love ones who love you more, after neglecting! them. No wife, no kids, no family. you are alone and pretending to be happy. don't blame your company. don't lay the Burden on your Boss. Hindi ba, You made the choice? You opted to put more value on your career. Dahil sabi mo pinaghirapan mo lahat ito and pangarap mo na ito simula pagkabata dahil mahirap ka lang ikamu...gusto mong yumaman. You gambled and you lost. I know of an executive na masyadong depressed... every week lang siyang umuwi sa pamilya niya. Week-ends lang niya nalalaro ang mga bata kung minsan required pa mag-stay ng sabado sa office, who finds no meaning in his life, he's got the money, a beautiful wife who according to him might be hiding something from him (you know what I mean) and the kids are not genuinely closed to him, for no apparent reason he had pulled the trigger to his head. He's got everything and he lost everything. that is the tragedy of it all. As for me, I know better. After all the pains, the burdens of mistaken priorities, I have made my choice. Anytime, anywhere, my family comes first. My career, my business, my outside clients, all my other pursuits are only means to the end of all my sacrifices, my wife, my sons, my daughters, my family. I shall thus manage my various objectives well. there shall not be conflicting objective anymore. For I now know clearly my prioroties and shall be faithful to them. I shall be willing to give them up; excess money, much comfort, travels, and girls for and in the name of the family. That is simple and straightforward. PS. Are you aware that if we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our own family, an unwise investment indeed, don't you think? And we often treat strangers and coworkers better than members of our family. Pass this on to everyone that you care about. I just did..

Career Entry Level: Too high or Not?

noreply@blogger.com (JSB) — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 15:51:00 +0000

I just want to share this information that I read from the net. I just want you to read it and make a comment. Common, Im sure somebody will react. I don't know. Its just that I have a feeling that this doesnt apply to all employees out there.

"Most American workers enjoy a high standard of living, certainly when compared with the wages earned by workers throughout the rest of the world. According to surveys by Payscale.com, entry-level wages for careers in this country average around $40,000 a year. If that seems low to you, take note: by completing an online college degree program, you can boost your entry-level earning power by at least another $10,000.

Here are ten tried-and-true career groups that advertise beginning earnings at -- or well above -- the $50,000 level:

1. Marketing and Sales Managers -- $80,000 entry earnings

Marketing and sales staff managers help companies develop strategies for selling products and services to the public or other businesses (B2B). You can complete an online marketing program finance degree to gain the necessary expertise to join this career group. Expect to travel and meet new people, all while banking a sizeable income. or

2. High School Teachers -- $59,269 entry earnings

While many believe teachers are underpaid, a near-$60,000 entry-level salary makes for solid earnings. To qualify for a teaching career, you'll typically need to earn a teaching degree, in addition to completing your state's teacher certification requirements.

To fill urgent needs, many districts will let you begin your classroom teaching while taking online education classes that lead to accelerated licensing. Openings will be greatest at urban or rural school districts, with subjects like math and science atop the hiring wish list.

3. Education Administrators -- $80,000 entry earnings

If you're already a teacher, think of the high-paying, entry-level salary you can earn as a principal or school district administrator. Administrators either work at the individual school level, directing the academic performance of the teaching staff, or work at school district headquarters, helping define curriculum and teaching methods. To prepare, keep your current teaching job, and attend an online masters in education administration degree program.

4. Staff RN -- $63,803 entry earnings

Staff RNs will remain in top demand for at least another decade. While you can earn a registered nursing degree in two years, the best entry-level wages will go to registered nurses with bachelor's degrees.

8. Restaurant Managers -- $53,255 entry earnings

Web designers, The Department of Labor says, will have some of the best job opportunities of the all design professions through 2014. If you�re already a graphic arts professional, you can bone up for the Web specialty through an online graphic Web design course.

Extra Cash for Holiday!

noreply@blogger.com (JSB) — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 09:51:00 +0000

Whether you're looking for extra cash or career-enhancing skills, a part-time jobduring the holidays may be just what you need.

Last year, employers added more than 700,000 retail jobs in the last three months of the year. This year, experts predict the number will likely be smaller -- but employers will still be looking for hundreds of thousands of workers.

"It's really still a job seeker's market for retail," said John Challenger, CEO of global outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. He noted that nationwide unemployment is relatively low. However, recent reports do suggest employers are pulling back on hiring. This, combined with high gas prices and the problems in the mortgage industry, makes Challenger predict fewer seasonal jobs this year than last.

Start early. Large companies may start taking applications for seasonal work as early as September, with many interviewing and selecting candidates in October, Challenger said. Smaller companies may hold off a little longer. For UPS, hiring picks up in October and early November, Robinson said.

* Do your research. Retailers want to hire people who know their merchandise and are enthusiastic about it. So it makes sense to start your job search with stores where you shop. "If you're a good customer, make sure you tell them that," Challenger said.

Reading about local companies and industries can help you pinpoint other places to look for holiday work, as well. If you read that a company is growing, you can call and ask if they need any extra help.

* Take it personally. The Internet is a great way to find out who's hiring and in many cases to submit a resume. But personal contact with a hiring manager may be what seals the deal.

"What makes you stand out?" A phone call after you've submitted your resume is one good idea: "showing some tenacity, a little bit of proactive attention toward that job."

* Look to the future. Most holiday jobs end after the holidays. But some can last longer -- and they can also be a valuable introduction to a company that may hire you for an ongoing job sometime in the future. Robinson said about one-quarter of UPS' seasonal workers end up being hired into permanent jobs. So when you choose where to work for the holidays -- and while you're on the job -- think about your future prospects as well as the present.

Brad Pitt ‘stunned’ by Venice Best Actor win

noreply@blogger.com (JSB) — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 05:10:00 +0000

From Inquirer Entertainment

TORONTO, Canada—“I was stunned.”

This was Pitt's reaction, when he received the news that he had won the Best Actor award in the 64th Venice Film Festival for his performance in “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.”

Pitt is here for the Toronto International Film Festival, where the same film is an entry.
The actor got the call from his producing partners who were in Venice for the awards night ceremonies just before his scheduled interview with this reporter’s group, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

Pitt, who won for his portrayal of America’s most famous outlaw, said he was with his partner, Angelina Jolie, when the call came through.

He recounted: “My first reaction was, ‘Huh?’ I did not expect it. It’s a great honor … to be part of the list of actors who won … I’m still processing this.”

Britney Gets Negative Reviews!

noreply@blogger.com (JSB) — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 14:49:00 +0000

"LAS VEGAS - As in most train wrecks, it was hard to focus on just one thing as the Britney Spears disaster unfolded on MTV's Video Music Awards. There was just so much that went wrong.

Out-of-synch lip-synching. Lethargic movements that seemed choreographed by a dance instructor for a nursing home. The paunch in place of Spears' once-taut belly. At times she just stopped singing, as if even she knew nothing could save her performance.

Designed to drum up excitement for her upcoming album, Spears' kickoff to the Video Music Awards on Sunday night became another example of how far she has fallen. It would have been understandable if MTV's show had been crushed under the weight of the opening fiasco — yet somehow it rebounded, and even flourished.

The show banked heavily on its own reinvention. After poor reviews and a decline in ratings over the last few years, MTV moved the show to Vegas, shortened it from three hours to two, went to a hostless format and focused more on performances than awards."

It is Moss' Football Day Show!

noreply@blogger.com (JSB) — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 02:47:00 +0000

In New Jersey – "Randy Moss, sprinting down the north sideline at Giants Stadium, running like Al Davis was trying to catch him, past single coverage and into clear space.

And Tom Brady, sitting behind a perfect wall of play-action protection, not the slightest concern a New York Jet might tackle him, all day to wait and wait for Moss to break free.

Moss was cutting across the field when Brady finally let it fly, 50 yards deep now, blazing through three overmatched, lead-footed Jets. By the time the pass fell softly into Moss' oversized mitts, he just needed a single step slightly up-field for six back-breaking, statement-making points.

"(Moss) just ran away from the defense," marveled Brady. "He ran about as far as I can throw it. I didn't have much more."

Google Files Patent Application for Mobile Payments!

noreply@blogger.com (JSB) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 04:21:00 +0000

"Someday, "to gpay" might mean making a payment using a text message over a mobile device. That's the form of e-commerce for which Google has filed a patent, in which the terms "gpay" and "gbuy" are used.

The application is leading to renewed speculation that Google has its sights set on a more active role in the mobile-device marketplace.

First filed in February of 2006, patent application number 20070203836 was published late last week. "The payment process may occur through the simple composition by the payor of a text message," such as a short message service (SMS), the application stated, with payee identification and payment amount then sent to a payment processing system" for debiting, crediting, or transferring funds."

How do bloggers make money from blogs

How do bloggers make money from blogs?

"I've bleen blogging for quite so long now and found out that not all bloggers (those who are blogging for money) are not generating enough money. I’ve been thinking this month about the whole idea of having the opportunities that are coming up for bloggers just to make money from blogs. That is why I searched for tips and advices on how to earn and generate more clicks from your blogs so I can repost it to help begginer bloggers.

I’ve been reading a lot of blogs related - that bloggers looking for other ways to make money from blogging spread their and interests just to maximize their earnings.

As of today, there are more options when it comes to blogging. More blogging sites, communities, and even myspace and youtube joined the wagoon. So its not only writing blogs or ideas, you can also earn thru sharing photos and publishing them.

Here are some tips that I quoted from Problogger.com, this might help some bloggers.

"Income Streams for Bloggers - How they Make Money from Blogs
Advertising Programs - Perhaps the most obvious changes in the past few months have been with the addition of a variety of viable advertising options for bloggers. The most common way bloggers seem to earn money online is via the contextual ad program from Google - Adsense. Another two popular ones with many is BlogAds. A more recent addition that many are using successfully are Chitika’s eMiniMalls and CrispAds, Text Link Ads.
Adgenta, Azoogle Ads, Intelli Txt, Peak Click, DoubleClick Tribal Fusion, Adbrite, Clicksor, Industry Brains, AdHearUs, Kanoodle, AVN, Pheedo, Adknowledge, YesAdvertising, RevenuePilot TextAds, SearchFeed, Target Point, Bidvertiser, Fastclick Value Click and OneMonkey (to name just some of the options - I’m sure I’ve forgotten some) and there is a smorgasbord of options. Of course there is more to come with MSN Adcenter and YPN both in beta testing and with a variety of other advertising system currently in development (so I hear). RSS Advertising - The past 12 months have seen some advances in RSS Advertising also. I’m yet to hear of any bloggers making big money through it to this point - but as improvements are made to the ad programs exploring this I’m sure we’ll start to see examples of it being profitable.

As time rolls on there are more and more ways that bloggers make money from their blogs opening up. Feel free to suggest your own ideas and experiences in comments below."

Not all heroes’ deaths are on battlefield

Adventurer Steve Fossett's Plane Missing!

noreply@blogger.com (JSB) — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 02:47:00 +0000

MINDEN, Nev. - Millionaire adventurer Steve Fossett, who has cheated death time and again in his successful pursuit of aviation records, was missing Tuesday after taking off in a single-engine plane the day before to scout locations for a land-speed record, officials said.

Teams searched a broad swath of rugged terrain in western Nevada near the ranch where he took off, but searchers had little to go on because he apparently didn't file a flight plan, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman said.

"They are working on some leads, but they don't know where he is right now," FAA spokesman Ian Gregor said.

Fossett, the first person to circle the world solo in a balloon, was seeking places for an upcoming attempt to break the land speed record in a car, said Sir Richard Branson, the U.K. billionaire who has helped finance many of Fossett's adventures.

The 63-year-old took off alone at 8:45 a.m. Monday from an airstrip at hotel magnate Barron Hilton's Flying M Ranch, about 70 miles southeast of Reno. A friend reported him missing when he didn't return, authorities said.

Thirteen aircraft were searching for Fossett in addition to ground crews, said Maj. Cynthia S. Ryan of the Civil Air Patrol. The teams were doing "grid" searches over hundreds of square miles.

"We are committing maximum resources to this effort," she said. "As far as we know now, it is still a rescue mission."

From banana cue to real estate for the global market

noreply@blogger.com (JSB) — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 17:39:00 +0000

SHE SPENT PART OF HER YOUTH IN MALABON, selling sugar-coated banana-on-stick just to send herself to school and support her younger siblings, not knowing she was destined to sell much bigger things.

Selling, she still does, but no more banana cues for her. And she plies her trade no longer in Malabon but in the world: theUS and far beyond.

Susan Barlin has made it big selling prime real estate in various parts of the world to the global marketplace.

This former small entrepreneur is making a name no longer for herself but for the Philippines—selling the country and the rest of tropical Asia as the world’s premier second-home and property investment destination and retirement haven".

Her efforts have caught the attention of the Department of Tourism, which has appointed her as its special envoy for investment and tourism promotion.

“After all, that’s what I’ve been doing all these years,” Barlin says, referring to her trips around the world year-in and year-out to promote the Philippines and Asia’s tropical region to the international market.
