Musings on the ?Cash Is King? Mentality
2011-12-06 14:08:00 I had a call last week from a buyer?s agent who was frustrated because the bank did not accept her buyer?s (very low) cash offer on a short sale. In fact, the bank did not even make a counter offer. The bank employee made it clear that the offer was significantly below the BPO value, ...This Article is Copyright © 2004-2011 BiggerPockets, Inc.

9/20/2011 - Musings of the Fall
2011-09-21 06:29:00 Reflecting on the dubious fortunes of the NY Giants and Jets with thoughts about the Mets thrown in, along with the winding down of the MLB season.
Links and musings ...
2011-06-11 06:12:00 Well, I'm afraid I'm going to subject you all to another round of navel-gazing, as I don't have anything substantive (well, except for the links below ... it is Friday, after all) framed up for this post. As folks know, I've had a lot of consulting/freelance work come through over the past few months, and it was looking like one project was just rolling right on into a full-time job. I'm not so sure if that's the case any more. Without getting into too many details, the company was waiting for the "next round of financing" which would have moved me to full time, supervising a whole group within the organization. While nothing has specifically changed in this, all sorts...
Osama Bin Laden's Death... or Musings on the Death of a Madman
2011-05-03 03:49:00 Osama Bin Laden is dead. He can never hurt any of us again, and his life will live in the utter dark recesses of infamy, along with Hitler and other soulless dictators. America can rejoice in the fact that, while the war won't cease and terrorism won't die away because the figurehead and cornerstone has been killed, we now have been avenged by killing this man. The blood on our hands is righteous and honored.
Guns, Limbaugh-Beck, Israel Dystopic Musings

Weekend Musings: Vancouver Food Blogs Rock The World and List of Most Activ
2011-01-10 03:50:00 We all know for sure that Vancouver has a very lively and active food blog scene. A little while back I put up a blogroll of all the Vancouver Food Blogs on chowtimes (link here). To tell the truth I was completely and pleasantly surprised that we have so many food blogs dedicated to writing about restaurants and dining outs in our city. Do you know how many sites there are on the chowtimes? blogroll? 114! Isn't that awesome? Just last week, Fairchild TV aired a documentary on chowtimes. In the introduction, it highlighted a point I made about how active the food blogging site is. In the absence of a better stat, I pointed to Fairchild the Urbanspoon Leaderboard above. As you can see, Vancouver dominates 6 of the top 7 positions on the leaderboard for the number of posts published. The top Vancouver food blogs lead all the other blogs by a far margin. [Note: Victoria in the list refers to Victoria, Australia ? not BC] So that brings to our mind. Does Vancouver have the bigge...

Musings on Snow in Chicago
2010-12-12 04:05:00 It's not that I don't like snow or the Chicago winters, that's not true. Sometimes I like to walk up and down my street when it is covered in snow and take in the bright, almost totally-clean surrounding. But then, days later, after the euphoria wears off, you are left with black or brown sludge on the side of the road that looks like it was recently dropped of by a BP crony.
Weekend Musings: To Think That KFCs Double Down Is Bad For You
2010-10-23 19:57:00 Hey all, good morning! Have you tried the KFCs Double Down Yet? Arkensen and Nanzaro was waiting for that day when it was going to be available in Canada for the first time. I think it was just the last Monday. While I promised them I will bring them to try it but I was just simply too busy at work that I did not do that. Monday past ... Tuesday past ... and then when I got home on Wednesday, equally as tired, they gave up on me and went on their own to try it. My boys are fast food junkies. They like these kind of food and can have fast food everyday if we allow them to. So I thought that they will come back and tell me that they love it. Instead, Arkensen said it was horrible. He said that it was way too salty. It was so salty that he could not even taste the cheese and bacon. That pretty much sums up every feedback I had heard from people I know. I just cannot understand why this was made so salty. There has got to be an explanation for it because KFC knows about this. Str...

Chicago Bulls Media Day Musings, Memories and Miami Heat Talk
2010-09-28 02:58:00 Remember how you felt the first day back at school each fall? The summer was over and "it's business time again. Only this time, the real business was the summer itself. It seemed like the shortest NBA off-season in history, simply because it was the most exciting one that we could ever have. Cherish it, we'll never see a July like that again. The Chicago Bulls were a major player in that offseason, and although they failed to land any of the primary prizes available, they still made some huge improvements on last year's team. And even if they hadn't nabbed Carlos Boozer, Kyle Korver, Ronnie Brewer etc. you couldn't fault them for first liquidating their assets and "backing...

2010-05-09 23:48:00 Here are some interesting items to look at in the wake of yesterday's misery. From mlssoccer.com, Nick Firchau's thoughts.... "On a night of few real surprises in the league, the biggest head-scratcher belongs to Carlos de los Cobos. The Fire coach is suddenly mortal again, thanks to his team's 4-1 flop at Toronto FC. After weeks of praise for his 4-5-1 formation, de los Cobos opted for a 4-4-2 for the bulk of Saturday's night match. And, wow, did the wheels fall off. Can it really be that grinders like Peter Lowry and Baggio Husidic will define the team's success this season rather than the superstars like Brian McBride and Collins John? Looks like it could be true." Sounders Refund...

Random Musings: FREAKS AND GEEKS, Kris Allen, Disney & More!
2009-07-23 01:08:00 Continuing our trend of highlighting TV that makes us feel really old comes a photo that this TV Addict snapped while watching our latest summer obsession FREAKS AND GEEKS. Can you guess the two big name guest stars that join John Francis Daley’s Sam Weir (on right)? If so, we’re officially impressed. Ways in which you never ever want to start off your day: By being told that you resemble Samm Levine’s Neal Schweiber from FREAKS AND GEEKS. Needless to say, we’ve had better Wednesdays. After Friday’s 90-minute crossover event WIZARDS ON DECK WITH HANNAH MONTANA netted the Disney Channel 9.2 million viewers, making it TV’s top scripted telecast this year among kids 6-11 and tweens 9-14, any guesses as to how long it will take the marketing mavens at NBC to unveil THE OFFICE ROCKS COMMUNITY? I mean Tobey Maguire we can live with. Heck, we’ve even gotten the occasional Joshua Jackson on a good hair day. But Neal Frakkin’ Schweiber!?!?...

Random Musings: ENTOURAGE Edition
2009-07-13 21:32:00 While critics and fans alike have pretty much declared the gang from ENTOURAGE — as Bruno might put it — so 2007. This TV Addict — understanding full well that nothing ever really happens on the show— remains unapologetically head-over-heels in love with Vinnie, ‘E,’ Turtle and Drama. Seriously, nothing gets us ready for a busy work week than an endless barrage of insults from one Ari Gold on Sunday nights at 10:30PM. That said, last night’s less that stellar season opener did leave us scratching our head for a multitude of reasons. Not the least of which is why on earth the show — which is known for its fairly realistic portrayal of the inner-workings of Hollywood — would allow for an episode to air with such outdated references to a now ‘TONIGHT SHOW-less’ Jay Leno and a MY NAME IS EARL-free Greg Garcia (whose series was unceremoniously dumped by NBC this past May). Adding to last night’s curious case of the unentertaining episode ...

Random Musings: MELROSE PLACE, Simon Cowell, NIP/TUCK & More!
2009-07-02 02:04:00 Who told Ashlee Simpson she could act? Her laughable performance is a weak spot in the surprisingly strong MELROSE PLACE pilot. Is Simon Cowell really worth $144 million a year? And if the show truly believes the nasty Brit is the big draw, what does that say about us as an audience that we tune in to hear him being a jerk? Can a show remain relevant if it airs two years after filming? Guess we’ll find out when NIP/TUCK’s final episode — taped in early June — finally airs… in 2011! Does the world really need TWO fragrances from Patrick Dempsey? This one’s easy: No. Next? Is there anything more disturbing that “slash fiction” in which STAR TREK’s Spock and Kirk get it on? Yes. The downright nightmare-inducing scenes depicted in Hustler video’s line of classic-TV-inspired porn, including a threesome between TREK’s Spock, Kirk and Uhura and a flick titled EVERYBODY LOVES LUCY in which… well, let’s just say that when...

Some Friday "Meta" Musings
2009-03-13 22:59:00 I recently had a discussion with a friend of mine about the topic I?m about to address, and I thought I?d share some of what we discussed (I?ve tried to find a way to work this into a post, but I?ve been unsuccessful).To begin, I should point out that there are a lot of people out there doing good work when it comes to organizing others into a consensus on a particular issue (I immediately think of folks like Michael Morrill at Keystone Progress when I say that, individuals who haven?t let up one inch since the election, as well as MoveOn.org and other business-related advocacy groups). And I personally think there?s always more that I can or should do, despite the fact that working on this site consumes a lot of time (as well as trying to generate stuff to keep people coming back to the Wordpress site).But I?m a bit concerned because, based on my observations (which may not be completely representative of what?s going on ? I hope not, anyway), it seems that those opposed to what Ba...

Slumdog Musings
2009-02-01 20:41:00 One just can't get enough of Slumdog Millionaire. Everything and everyone involved with the film have suddenly become mighty busy what with the media keeping a watch on their every move. Last heard Dev Patel and Freida Pinto were really getting cozy somewhere in a public place. Hmm...is it publicity or...?Meanwhile, Freida is being trained to walk on the red carpet at the Oscars by none other than Kate Winslet. Can you believe that? Lucky girl. Although Dev Patel would have loved to be trained by Kate Winslet.In all these accolades and glory lies also a story which is not so rosy. There was a recent controversy that the kids who played the younger versions of Jamal and Salim and Latika were not paid enough. But from what I have heard is that they have been paid much more than they would have earned here in Mumbai and also their education is being taken care of by the producers. It is actually the fathers of the children who are trying to create some sort of situation to rake in mor...

Random Musings: Digital TV, Donna Martin, Donald Trump & More!
2009-01-09 16:30:00 You know all those really annoying commercials about the switch to Digitial TV that we’ve been forced to endure for the past year or so. Well, get ready for a lot more of them. As Broadcasting & Cable reports this week that President-elect Barack Obama has pressed pause on those pesky little issues like fixing the economy and the wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan in order to ask Congress to delay the proposed DTV (Digital TV) transition date past the February 17 deadline. Begging the question, if America can’t manage a relatively simple switch to Digital TV that has been years in the making, what chance does Universal Healthcare have? We’re just sayin’. According to ">E! Online, Donna Martin is indeed heading back to America’s favorite zip code. Which means it’s time for this TV Addict to offer a little bit of free advice to the ‘brains’ behind the new 90210. Ready? Because here we go in 3… 2… 1… Fans are neve...

Random Musings: BROTHERS & SISTERS, BOSTON LEGAL and GREY’S ANATOMY
2008-12-08 19:05:00 ARVIN SLOANE IN DA HOUSE On the off chance Sol and Tommy are having trouble formulating a plan to rid Walker Landing of the duplicitous and some might say borderline evil Holly Harper. We’ve got five letters to get the ball rolling: WWASD (What Would Arvin Sloane Do!) ABC, YOU’VE BEEN SERVED Even though some might say we’re equally culpable for completely ignoring the genius that is BOSTON LEGAL over the course these past four seasons. This TV Addict would like to use this opportunity to shift the blame to the real guilty party, ABC. I mean it’s almost as if creator genius hyphenate David E. Kelly was sending some sort of cryptic message to the proverbial powers that be when he had Betty White’s Catherine PIper sue the networks during last week’s penultimate episode for failing to cater to anyone outside of the 18-34 demographic.

2008-12-03 16:23:00 Memo to all current and future “Mean Girls.” If the best plan you can come up with to humiliate a rival girl at your upcoming Christmas, Holiday and/or Snowflake Dance is to highlight her smokin’ hot body in front of the well, the entire student body. You may want to consider going back to the drawing board. We’re just saying — by shining the spotlight both literally and figuratively on a barley clad Vanessa during Monday’s installment of GOSSIP GIRL, the Constance Meanies and Little J not only delivered the most PG wardrobe malfunction ever, they ensured that Vanessa is now etched in the fantasties of virtually every boy and probably more than a few girls at school. Dear DirecTV. Now that you’ve successfully become the coolest satellite provider on the face of the planet by helping co-finance a third season of FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS.

Musings on Dual Loyalty, Judaism as Zionism, and Anti-Semitism
2008-11-10 12:17:00 The latest death toll figures from Hurricane Katrina can be seen on this website here. The famous Russian neo-Nazi video is on this blog here.Always-perceptive commenter James Schipper makes some astute, terse and cut to the chase comments on my post, The "New Anti-Semitism". In it, he moves beyond the typically vulgar anti-Semitism that much modern anti-Zionism descends into and offers a perfectly logical explanation for the dual loyalty accusation leveled at Jews.He also brings up some very difficult questions about the differences between Judaism and Zionism and whether there is really any difference at all.Schipper: If criticism of Israel = anti-Zionism = anti-Semitism, then we should be proud to call ourselves anti-Semites.What is really wrong with Israel? It is not such a bad country for Jews, or even for the Arabs in Israel proper. I would rather be a Jew in Israel than an Arab in any Arab country. Israel was born in sin, but so was every country in the Western hemisphere. I...

Random Musings: ELI STONE, 90210 & HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3
2008-10-29 17:40:00 The Good: From Weathersby Posner & Klein’s original and inspiring mission statement to “serve the public good and honor the public trust” that was scribbled on a napkin thirty years prior (Bartlett for America anyone?), to the master class in acting put forth by Victor “Where’s My Emmy?” Garber, “good” doesn’t even begin to describe my feelings when it comes to last night’s installment of ELI STONE. Especially now that we know that Eli’s future includes making it all the way to the Supreme Court alongside friend and mentor Jordan Weathersby. (And yes, in case you’re wondering, this TV Addict’s jaw is still partially on the floor following last night’s shocking final scene involving Maggie Decker siding with the evil that is Posner & Klein.) The Bad: 90210. Whose committee of showrunners don’t seem to “get” that fans are not in the business of caring about couples they’...

Random Musings: KNIGHT RIDER, Mena Suvari & HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER
2008-10-21 21:53:00 As much as this TV Addict would like to agree with Maureen Ryan’s assertion that the only reason NBC President Ben Silverman picked up KNIGHT RIDER for the entire season is because “KITT has taken over NBC!” I can’t help but feel that a car running a major television network is somewhat ridiculous. Which is why I’d like to take this opportunity to post theTVaddict.com’s very own theory that let’s face it, makes way more sense. Brace yourself… because Ben Silverman is obviously a Cylon and renewing KNIGHT RIDER is all a part of his secret pro-machine agenda. Flipping through this week’s fantastic issue of Entertainment Weekly featuring a sneak peak of J.J. Abrams STAR TREK re-boot, this TV Addict couldn’t help but notice an advertisement for Lifetime’s SEX AND LIES IN SIN CITY, starring Mena Suvari. Begging the question: What happened to the young actress who broke onto the scene with scene-stealing turns in AMERICAN...

I mean don’t get me wrong, this TV Addict is all for free iTunes downloads, after-all, who doesn’t love free stuff [see today’s previous post.] I’m just not so sure that TV Guide was the right strategic partner considering that the once mighty guide now finds itself in such dire financial straits that it was recently sold for $1 [no really, one dollar!] That and, I’d hazard to guess that the people who still use TV Guide as a “Guide to What’s On” include some of the few remaining folks who are old enough to remember when 30 Rockefeller Center was built. Not exactly NBC’s desired demographic. Paging Entertainment Weekly… anyone? With the one caveat being Michael wanting a “Golden Shower” of his very ...

Random Musings: 90210
2008-10-02 02:02:00 As SMALLVILLE fans know all too well, the CW is never slow to jump on a product placement opportunity. Which is why this TV Addict has spent the better part of Wednesday scratching his head as to how the fledgling network completely missed the ball when it comes to 90210 and the loads of cash they could be making from the incredibly obvious cell phone tie in. Let’s face it, if Emmy’s were given out this early in the season for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama, Kelly and Brenda’s cellphone carrier would most definitely have to be considered a top five candidate. Thanks to brilliance that is Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile and/or AT&T’s cellphone network [See how easy that was? To paraphrase 30 ROCK’s Tina Fey, can theTVaddict.com have our money now!?], 90210 showrunners Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah have managed to keep fans, not to mention Kelly and Brenda connected to original cast members Brandon and Dylan without (a) having pay them or (b) having to beg, p...

2008-10-01 00:12:00 Just as God no doubt intended, this TV Addict spent his Rosh Hashanah afternoon off by enjoying a mini marathon of Monday night television. With, in the spirit of the holiday, a side of Apples and Honey. HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER Even a song courtesy of Dr. Horrible himself, Neil Patrick Harris wasn’t enough to save last night’s far from stellar installment of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. Not only did Marshall’s quest for the perfect burger hit a little too close to home, with this TV Addict’s all-time favorite Burger joint located thousands of miles across the country [see: Splitz in Whistler, BC]. I couldn’t help but find Barney’s shameless love affair with his company’s new client, the fictional Goliath National Bank somewhat depressing considering the economic crisis millions of Americans currently finding themselves in.

IMPORTANCE OF WEB HOSTING
2008-09-13 09:22:00 As I have promised, I made this in continuation with my previous post about understanding web hosting. So, just a quick review, web hosting is the physical storage of files like hard disks on computers where huge files can be placed. Web hosting companies provide servers in which data are stored and smooth connectivity to the internet is guaranteed.Then why the heck it's very important to businesses? Well, that is a question We will tackle now.There are so many things why web hosting is important to businesses. The first thing is that people tend to rely on the internet regarding convenience. When you have a website for your business, it will be easy for you to post your products. It looks like you have an online shop where customers can select what they like. It is also very convenient because your business operates 24/7. You can also accept payments off line via Paypal or credit cards.Web hosting varies from prices to security. One thing you have to be careful though, you need t...

CREDIT CARD APPLICATION
2008-09-10 18:12:00 There are things you need to consider when applying to have credit cards. Of course, you need to take a look at your credit rating. The better rating, the better chances of acquiring the best credit card option. You also need to consider that when applying, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are okay and good to go. The authority to issue all credit cards simultaneously rests with the issuer(The bank or the financial institution), who will first ensure whether you have a reliable financial background and you are in good faith.You should also compare different features the credit card options have: fluctuating interest rates, Annual Percentage Rates (APR s),credit limits, fees associated, penalties, billing cycles, grace periods, specs for cash advances and balance transfers, rewards, and other implied costs. If I were to choose, I would rather go for a low interest credit card.You also need to choose a card that best suits you. You may select from personal credit cards to busines...
