A Note in Passing
2008-06-06 10:07:00 I got an email this morning, and it got me thinking about this guy: Born right after The Great War ended, he was 4 in 1924, and proud as punch to have a tricycle! He must’ve thought the world couldn’t get any better… at least until The Great Depression set in, and his food became scarce, ...

The Passing of a Legend
2008-06-04 07:05:00 Once in a blue moon an artist emerges and becomes a dot on the time line of their chosen medium. Today one of those innovators, Bo Diddley, passed away....From the Houston Chronicle:Bo Diddley was a musical innovator who helped forge the sound and contributed to the style of rock 'n' roll. He sported a trademark fedora, played an iconic square-shaped guitar and from it he extracted a deep, rusty reverb and a peculiar playing style that influenced generations of players. Diddley died Monday of heart failure at his home in Archer, Fla.; he was 79. He'd been in ill health for much of the past year, having suffered a stroke and a heart attack in 2007. ..."He was by far the most underrated of any '50s star,'' says producer Phil Spector. "You listen to those (reissued box sets) and the rhythmic invention, the consistent high quality of imagination and performance, the excellence of the writing, the power of the vocals - nobody else ever did it better or had a deeper, more penetrat...

Demand for O.C. homes now passing ‘06 pace
2008-06-02 09:02:00 Market watcher Steve Thomas at Re/Max Real Estate Services in Aliso Viejo says demand for O.C. homes is now above 2006’s pace, as measured by new deals placed into escrow for existing homes and condos. Demand was 2,720 as of Thursday — a 46% improvement above a year ago and 4% above this time in 2006. Thomas says: “Current Orange County housing demand not only obliterates 2007 levels, but it now has surpassed 2006 levels as well. Demand has reached a mark not seen in 24 months. Thus far this year, it has charted a course that is not at all cyclical and has improved unabated. The most rational reason for this break in tradition is pent-up demand, specifically, pent-up first-time home buyer demand.” Thomas numbers hint at the pace of future closed sales, the backbone of other market statistics. The recent dealmaking surge suggests the O.C. homebuying losing streak, dating to October 2005 — read more HERE! — will end soon. California Association of ...
Peter Putnam Passing on 2008 NPC USAs
2008-05-31 06:30:00 It's not so much a prediction as much as it is a fact: Peter Putnam will not duplicate his performance from last year's NPC USA Bodybuilding, Fitness and Figure Championships in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he won the light heavyweight class. But history will not fail to repeat itself because there will be a better bodybuilder standing in his way. Putnam will not be repeating his winning performance because he won't be competing, instead choosing to focus his efforts on winning the light heavyweight class, and an elusive pro card, at the 2008 NPC Nationals in Atlanta, Georgia."I was very pleased with my outing last year," Putnam said. "I felt like going in there and taking the class solidified my status as a top amateur. Even though I didn’t get the pro card I walked away with a sense of it being more about the timing. I just just wasn’t my time."Unfortunately for Putnam, it wasn't his time at the 2007 NPC Nationals either, where he finished as the runner-up to Charles Dixon in ...

Credit Card Processing: Legally Beat the System by Passing Processing. Post
2008-05-19 14:40:00 Imposing surcharges on credit card transactions is illegal, and it will only lead to problems. The secret to beating the credit card processing system is not charging more for credit card sales, but instead is charging less for cash sales. It may sound like the same thing, but there is a big difference. A recent study by United College Marketing Services has shown that student credit lines have increased to over $6,000. Credit card usage has tripled since 2001 amongst teenagers as well. Since eighteen year-olds in many countries and most U.S. states are eligible for a card without parental consent or employment, the likelihood of increased balances, unwise use of credit and damaged credit scores increases.

I have had ordained appointments, seen into the spirit realm and cried till my eyes became raw.I waited for the spirit of death and he arrived last night at 10 till 7. My mother is gone. Gone from us, but now with the Father. She cried at that moment of death and I rose up from my sit, bent over her and spoke truth to her. She heard me, my brother kissed her and she left. Oh, how we wept.Throughout the day people had come and gone in her room. So, many prayed and so many songs were sang over her. The song, still resonate in my heart. My friends came and loved on my mother as if she were their own. They are, my friends, beautiful people of God. Giving of themselves in that hour and showing the love of God. ...

US arrests man for passing secrets to Israel
2008-04-23 16:20:00 The Daily Star US authorities have arrested an American man on charges that he disclosed classified defense information, including on nuclear weapons, to Israel, the Justice Department said Tuesday. Ben-Ami Kadish worked as a mechanical engineer at a US Army weapons center in New Jersey when he provided the documents to Israel's consul for science affairs in New York over several years, the department said.

HOA and Condo Associations Passing The Buck To Residents
2008-04-20 21:37:00 Many home owner and condo associations are running into issues collecting money due to people not being able to afford (or not wanting to pay) their monthly dues. Some home owners just turned in the keys, moved and can't even be found. So what are the home owner and condo associations doing as result of the lost revenue? They have to either lower expenses or replace the missing revenue. This could mean a cut in services or raising dues.
