Music Advertising

The intentions are good, but the results don't measure up. Say What?Using a song that was a hit as a theme for a radio or television ad, is not really the smartest thing to do. Now I've thought this for a long time and now someone else spells out the reasons why. From Adrants.com recently:Licensed Music Does More Harm Than Good For BrandsIn a yet to be published (we are told) letter to Advertising Age in response to its publication of the Top Ten Ad Songs of the Year, The Apollo Project's Paul

Save $1000 in 30 Days: My Take

So Ramit is having a Save $1000 in 30 days challenge. I started reading the tips he had and so far I really don’t see how I will be saving according to his rules. I think this is set up for people who have not already been frugal in their lives since if you were already doing the things he writes about then you would not be saving any addtional money. I was already doing the things he talked about so far BEFORE reading his posts. Here is a list of what he has so far. Tip #1: Pack lunches fo

Pack and Talk

Today's themes are space bags and phone calls. We are down to the wire. I managed to get a lot of my clothes packed in suitcases so what's left will have to go in the space bags. I just hope they work better this time than they did on the trip down here. Also....I got a ton of calls to make. And receive. The background check SHOULD be completed today. SHOULD being the operative word. I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt that it'll come back fine, but it'll still be nice to know everything is f

I Don’t Wanna Grow Up…

…I’m a Toys R’Us kid. Sorry, just had that crazy little jingle stuck in my head after thinking about the topic for the day. I was taking a showering this morning and I was thinking about the fact that I am going to be moving soon, starting a new life, and with that comes a whole slew of responsibilities. I like to joke with people that college is the best time of anybody’s life. The reason is because they get the best of both worlds (no, not you Hannah Montana… sorry, I’ve got little cousins,

It’s going to cost more to fix than it’s worth

It’s going to cost more to fix than it’s worth You often hear “it’s going to cost more to fix than it’s worth” given as a reason for buying a replacement car. And it’s easy to think that way. We have been conditioned as a society to believe that new is better, and that old is unreliable or even dangerous. We’re also used to viewing spreading costs out over time as a good thing, while immediate expenses are painful. But the reality is that how much your car is worth doesn’t matter at all, un

Make a Financial Plan With These 7 Steps

You may have a good investment plan or estate plan or retirement plan but without coordination of these plans, you are most likely to lose out on making money. The reason why is that all of the 7 steps in a financial plan will get you the goals that you want, in the time that you want and with tax advantages and with a comfortable amount of risk. Most people target just the investment plan or retirement plan and lose focus of the big picture. Here are the 7 steps that you will need for success

My wife and I Entered the 1956 Oldsmobile in a Car Show and Had a Blast

I took a local classic car show here in Deering, North Dakota. It was run by the local Councilperson by the name of David Lyu. The Councilperson is a movie fan from way back, having a small part in the film "R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 (VG)". A love of cars was developed over the years. I entered my 1956 Oldsmobile in the cruise with the dream of taking home a prize. I spent countless hours getting the Oldsmobile. I had done my car history search on the Oldsmobile by going over to vin number chec

Broken Blogs, Broken Relationships, Broken Bank

Afternoon Karl Damn blog. Still haven’t figured out what the hell is wrong with it. Can’t upload graphics using the Flash uploader that is de facto in Wordpress. I did, however, find that I can use the browser-based uploader. Not as nifty, but functional. I know enough to be dangerous but I’m still pretty clueless to Wordpress. If any of you out there might know why I’m seeing the “HTTP error” whenever I upload graphics, let me know, please. That’s all it says. One second it’s “crunching,” th

How To Buy A Used Car

Used cars are bought significantly more often than new cars. However new car sales in total average more than the amount spent on used cars. This shows how much potential savings can be found by those who choose to invest in a used car rather than a new one. Even though it seems like a relatively easy thing to do, there are some things to keep in mind when you are buying a used car. 1.    Have a budget in mind. Either have a loan pre-authorized with a bank or credit union or have the amount of

How Honest Are You?

A recent discussion on the Etsy forums really left me shaking my head. The discussion was fee avoidance, and I was shocked to discover that not only is this widely accepted, I was literally mocked for stating that I felt it was dishonest and I wouldn't do it.Are there dishonest people? Of course, but I guess what surprised me is the lack of shame and willingness to put it out there for buyers and sellers alike to see. There seems to be this attitude that its not really stealing if its from a fac

Bad Credit Problems

Many of you have a bad credit may have noticed that some of the services that use increased in price. They are not as deep as in the insurance industry. At present only home insurance is affected, but soon the car insurance will also be this bad loans. You have the right to the rates for all they want. Those of us with bad credit have nobody to blame but themselves. But here is a system that not only are perpetrating insurance against some of us, but also other companies that certain types of se

Car Accident Lawyer And Why You Need To Be Informed.

by Don Pedro With a car accident lawyer working with you, you really have little to fear. When you are involved in any kind of auto incident, however bad, they can wade you through. You certainly will not love it one bit if you get caught without one. Drivers in the United States are mostly difficult people at best. Without traffic laws, it would be impossible to maintain any kind of sanity on the highways. But these laws also bind a lot of mellow folks who couldn’t hurt a fly. Now when that

Holster Hoarders...

...what is it about them that causes them to buy many more holsters (or other accessories like gun belts, handcuff cases, magazine pouches) than he or she will ever need? I suppose I just don't get it when it comes to holster hoarders, I mean me, I buy one for a gun and use it. If it turns out to be a piece of junk, well I usually get rid of it. I don't put it away in the closet like placing it into a shrine where it will remain forever entombed to be eternally adored by me, then by another, and

Good News / Bad News

The good news: They caught the kids who vandalized and severely messed up the car of our friend in Central Texas. This means that the insurance company gets the county’s victim services fund (or some fund) to pay the cost of her deductible for fixing the window and repainting the doors. Yay! Good news! The bad news? Now I have to figure out how to get the money back to those of you who contributed to the deductible fund. Our friend would prefer that I hold onto the money and put it towards

Requirements For Moving To Spain

by Serge Tipping Is it time to live in Spain? It is something you don’t jump into quickly. Pay a few visits to the nation before moving to Spain. Go, see, and experience a number of districts like the Costa Blanca, Costa del Sol and Barcelona before choosing your new home. Research the new region you will call home and learn about its culture and history. Make certain that you have ample money to live on for a while. This will make the difference between you surviving and not. You will need e

Our cottage is in rural Idaho, near Gooding, and we enjoy touring in the car during the hotter months. Our opinion is I'd say it's a brilliant vehi

Stranger Than Fiction

I wrote an essay a few weeks back on Fishbusterz, a fish house on Stock Island that also sells meals for consumption outside at tables on the docks, there where the fish themselves are landed. So naturally when we had some out of town visitors descend on us for lunch one Saturday we drove them out to Fishbusterz, and amazing to relate the restaurant end has got a new fancy name:We got a call from Mrs Sailorman saying they had dropped anchor in Key West on their way north to a consulting job and

Unemployment, Day Two

First, I slept in until 12.30. BRILLIANT. I can't wait to do more of that. I haven't spent nearly enough time in bed this year.When I went to move my car, I discovered it was broken into AGAIN. This time the thieves took the two bags of clothes I was going to donate. They also neatly piled the contents of the glove box on the passenger seat. I suppose they were looking for money or valuable electronics? This was really not the kind of experience to make my week any better, but I guess it could b

Health Insurance Costs

As I've just finished my first week at work I'm in the mode of selecting insurance policies and the like. Looking into my options I find that they are different than I've had in the past. The good news is that my new employer pays 100% of my premiums. Considering that I was used to paying $596/per pay period at my old employer, this is a savings of $14k annually. The down side is that they only pay the premiums for me, and if I want to cover James on the same policy it would cost about $550/m

Greg’s “Weight Toss” – This is my one year Fat-iversary

Last year I decided it was time to get serious about managing my weight. I’ve always fought my weight as has my father and his family. I looked to him and them as an example, and excuse. Last year I was tired of excuses. It was time I lead by example and took ownership of my weight. To truly own the problem, for if you don’t own it in your heart, it’s very hard to change it. Last year it was time I finally owned my weight.On 1/9/2008 my official weight was 266 pounds, total cholesterol 223, LDL

VCCA Fellowship

In February, I’ll be headed to the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts (VCCA). This residency feels like a second home to me. I like the cows (not the bulls!) and I like having access to Sweet Briar’s swimming pool, exercise equipment and hiking trails. When I visit VCCA, it’s a time to work on poetry and it’s also a time to take care of myself with good food, fresh mountain air, and relaxing evenings with tea (or wine) by the fire. In more good news, I received a Mid Atlantic Arts Fellowsh

2009: Reasons to be happy

On a radio station I used to listen to a lot they used to fill up about a minute or so with phone calls where people shouted a sentence about why they’re happy. Usually it was something silly like “It’s my birthday!” or “I just got [p,l]aid!”. This morning I filled up my car’s fuel tank and it was R290.27. About 6 months ago, the same amount of fuel cost just about R500. The drop in fuel prices also means that we’ll probably not see much rise in food prices this year (many people believe that

Web Based Car Clubs

There are many different types of car clubs to be found on the internet. From mechanical knowledge to auto enthusiast shows, a car club provides a great number of benefits and perks to car owners. An online car club may not seem like something you would expect to be popular. However, they continue to grow in popularity all the time as more people join online car clubs. Virtually every make and model of vehicle has some kind of web club devoted to it. For some people a car is just a means of tra

Wherein Da Goddess Is Disappointed And Elated

Wherein Da Goddess Is Disappointed And Elated DaGoddess @ 7:12 am So the concert last night… I had my camera gear with me. I was finally going to get to photograph Taj Mahal. I was so excited I practically peed my pants. And then the doorman said, “no photos tonight. Sorry.” I almost cried. I didn’t get to take photos of Taj the last two times I saw him â€" once in concert at the House of Blues (no cameras there. ever) and once at our blues society pre-cruise party.

It’s Expensive Being a Woman

It’s Expensive Being a Woman October 23, 2008, by kathrynmontiegel It’s apparently big news how much money was spent for vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s new campaign wardrobe. I am not saying that $150,000 isn’t a lot of money to spend on clothes, but it does seem that the world has higher fashion standards for women than it does for men. If Joe Biden wears the same dark grey suit twice in a week, no one notices. If he wears a new tie, it’s a whole new outfit. Women’s clothing is

Secure your car and get an insurance now

As soon as i got my first year end bonus, my very first investment was to get myself a very nice second hand car. It is not so expensive but i do know its value to me.

So if i were you, i would seek an underwriter an get a car insurance quote and have your investment secured. ShareThis

Connect The Dots

By David Glenn Cox http://theservantsofpilate.com It seems I can’t even watch TV news anymore, it just makes me too angry, the cluelessness of the government. I voted for change, not a slight alteration but for change. I sit here in this tiny berg of Powder Springs and I ask myself, Why is it that I can see these things and these highly-paid experts and analysts don’t? I see an economy coming apart at the seams and the politicians of both parties are talking about it as if it’s some abstract

Peace of Mind for Me and My Ride

My car’s insurance is expiring soon, and it is such a waste not being able to use it. Sure my car has minor damages like deep scratches on the door and tiny dents on the fender but nothing major that will need for an insurance claim. The initial insurance was included when I bought my car, but I will be paying for the succeeding years. Hence, the need for the best deal in town when it comes to auto insurance. Insurance is mandatory but even if it is not, I will be purchasing one. It grants

VIBE: Oops! We Did It Again...and Again

There is an old saying... It isn't bragging if you can do it.  So, we hope you'll forgive us if we talk up the Pontiac Vibe, which on the past few days racked up another two awards. First, Aaron Gold over at About.com's Guide to Cars named the Vibe one of the Best New Cars of 2009.  And our little Pontiac is in some fairly good company with names like Cadillac, Mercedes and Porsche.  You can read all about it at cars.about.com.  Then, the folks over at njection.com point out that the V

Let Autonet Help You Insure Your Future

I used to not care about insurance at all. I was that type of person who lived and tried to enjoy life in a day to day basis. My parents once told me that by continuing with that attitude, it also meant like I did not care about my future. Well, of course I kept on living the way I did until the day my parents introduced me to the family business. Our small family company means a lot not just to my father, mother, my two younger brothers and me. It also plays a very important role to our emplo

Oregon wildlife…definitely NOT at its finest

(For the record, I didn’t take that picture, as beautiful as it is. But it was taken not far from where we live. Pretty huh?)The early morning hours in Oregon are without a doubt, absolutely stunning to behold. There is something about the way the sun comes up over the hills, stretching fingers of light down to us mere mortals here on the ground. If you stand outside and wait for it, you feel as if one minute you are staring out into nothingness, barely able to distinguish the rocky textures of

The Upcoming Election: Part II-Clinton and the Democrats

Once more, stolen from my youngest brother, Benjamin… I guess I’m heartless. I’m heartless because I dont think people should be given loans if they can not repay them. I’m heartless because when people take out loans that they can never repay, the taxpayers has to pay the loans for them. This is where part our tax money goes. Not only does our tax money go to social wellfare, social security, and foreign aid (foreign aid actually makes Africa worse off as I will explain in a later note), but it

Presidential Tax Plan: Use More of the Deductions Available Now!

by Terry A. Sacia Most Americans don’t know there are legal ways using tax deductions to keep more of your hard earned money in your pocket and it is all perfectly legal? Income taxes are a dirty word to most American tax payers, but what if you were making the tax code a benefit instead of a feared monster? In this country we pay a horrible thing called income tax. You know the reason there are two figures on your payroll stub, the amount you actually earned then the amount you actually get?

Friends on the Front Bench are in a collaborative spirit because this is a case where working together might improve the Bill, but it needs a lot of improvement because the main things that have gone wrong in the past 11 years stem from the grave weakening of the Bank of England that occurred in 1997. I would like the Bill to go much further than the current draft in giving back to t

We Did It! We Walked Western (Part III)

  Good Monday morning to you. I’m awake and “moving” this morning and feeling really great about the big walk on Saturday. Will’s post had me nodding and smiling. (Especially about the ibuprofen part.) His flicker set is also way more detailed than mine but I thought I’d throw a few of my photos up of things we saw and said along the way. We saw two buildings shaped like food during the day. Thought sadly this building no longer sells hot dogs (real estate? insurance? can’t remember…) I’m ple

A "Check Your Negative Comments at the Door" Sensational Sunday

As I said, I faced it and I’m moving on (notice I keep telling myself that - I totally believe in repetition, by telling myself something over and over I will change my perception. How many times do we do the opposite? Tell ourselves negative things? Sorry, total side bar.) So I started my day with one
