Do you trust that A-Roid's not juicing?
2009-11-06 06:11:00 The Bald TruthNow that Alex Rodriguez is a winner (finally), apparently it doesn't matter that he won the biggest contract in the history of team sports by turning his rump into a syringe-cushion.Yay! You won the World Series! You had an outstanding postseason! Your legacy as one of the all-time greats is secure!OK ... but why should we believe A-Roid didn't use Sluggers Little Helpers to boost his confidence so he could emerge from his long history of playoff failure?Because he says so? Because his "cousin" isn't hanging around any more? Because he hasn't tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs? Please. When you make a gazillion dollars a month, you can afford the purest HGH on the market - and any...
Sustainability Optional in Chicago Community Trust Online News Grants?
2009-11-05 21:03:00 Today, the Chicago Community Trust announced the recipients of its Community News Matters grant awards, aimed at spurring innovation in Chicago's online local news sector. The recipients list reads like a who's who of the Chicago community news scene. But it takes a lot of reading between the lines to find any evidence of long-term sustainability for the winning projects....
Voters trust GOP more than Democrats
2009-10-24 18:42:00 In a startling comeback--but one that you won't hear much about on the network news--Republicans now have the trust of more voters on key issues. Here is the Rasmussen Report: Who do you trust now?For the first time in recent years, voters trust Republicans more than Democrats on all 10 key electoral issues regularly tracked by Rasmussen Reports. The GOP holds double-digit advantages on five of them. Republicans have nearly doubled their lead over Democrats on economic issues to 49% to 35%, after leading by eight points in September. The GOP also holds a 54% to 31% advantage on national security issues and a 50% to 31% lead on the handling of the war in Iraq. With the Emanuel/Axelrod/Obama administration...
Probate Litigation
2009-10-04 11:30:00 Probate litigation refers to obtaining legal assistance to resolve conflict surrounding inheritance assets. Heirs or beneficiaries must retain the services of a probate attorney in order to contest the decedent's last will. Probate litigation is oftentimes required when decedents die intestate (without a Will). Probate litigation can prolong the probate process for months or years. I know a woman whose stepfather passed away without executing a Will. Although single at the time of his death, four of his six ex-wives came forward to lay claim to his estate.
Can You Trust Crowd Wisdom? | Technology Review [del.icio.us]
2009-09-16 23:18:00 Kostakos studied voting patterns on Amazon, the Internet Movie Database (IMDb), and the book review site BookCrossings. The research was presented last month at the 2009 IEEE International Conference on Social Computing. His team looked at hundreds of thousands of items and millions of votes across the three sites. In each case, they found that a small number of users accounted for a large number of ratings. For example, only 5 percent of active Amazon users cast votes on more than 10 products. A handful of users voted hundreds of items.

Donations to Sathya Sai Central Trust misused by/for directors etc.
2009-09-02 08:44:00 Since Sathya Sai Baba claims to own nothing whatever, and since Dr. G. Venkataraman and K.

Donors and Would-be Donors Beware (Sathya Sai Central Trust Example)
2009-08-30 01:34:00 As the years pass, more evidence emerges of the very non-divine manner in which Sathya Sai Baba and his financial wing collect vast funds - particularly from wealthy donors. As with scams the world over, there are methods of 'spotting' - in this case, by ashram staff of visitors most likely to donate large sums. The admixture of 'miracles' - such as Sai Baba's 'materializing' of expensive rings or pendants etc., for the wealthy - is central to setting up of these traps. This operation involves the participation of the registration office, as well as Sathya Sai Baba's close servitors, many of them wealthy or those who have given away their wealth to him. Criminals and police forces often refer to this type of spotting as finding the 'mark' or victim to be set up. Donors and Would-be Donors Beware There are two classes of individual, and in some cases institutions, who have every reason to be looking at these issues. First, those who have already been donors to Sathya Sa...

Paranoid Partner
2009-06-04 16:59:00 In "Break up" we discussed about the Breakup Cost of Love and the Love Saving Account you need to accumulate to ensure you are rich enough to date and possibly lose love someday with less hurt. In "Love with no Result" we summarized 8 foremost preconditions to ensure a successful love journey with apparently more chances. In "Narcissist" we discussed about a personality disorder to help you spot it at the early stage of your dating and make an informed decision.Today we will move on to another personality disorder; it's called "Paranoia". The most explicit sign of a person with paranoia is that he is overly or constantly suspicious. A paranoid person grasps any single piece of evidence that supports his mistrust and ignores or misinterprets any other evidence to the contrary in order to confirm his doubts, and he continually does so. A person suffering from paranoia continues to question the loyalty of others.So how will a paranoid partner possibly hurt you if he is just on his gua...

Being in love vs love
2009-05-21 17:16:00 What's the difference between being in love and love? Building a love relationship is like building a bridge over a river. Being in love is like crossing the river in winter. The river freezes over and we can walk across. It's effortless and exciting. Anyway, summer comes, the ice turns to liquid and we?ve lost our natural bridge. The ice bridge relies on the weather, and we realizes that we need a real bridge that endures through every season in order to cross the river and reach the other side or just to keep the excitement of crossing the river. Being in love is romantic, but life is realistic; crossing the river over the ice bridge is thrilling, but the weather changes, and there's nothing that the effortlessness can maintain. We can make use of the ice while we build a more durable bridge of wood, brick or steel. Likewise, while we?re being in love we can build a lasting love relationship based on respect, trust, and friendship. When we?re being in love we want to spend all ...
Beware of Most Dangerous Tax Amendment For Charitable Society !

Spices prepared by these ladies are sold over the counter which results in some income to the society.

Politicians, I Just Don't Trust Them
2009-05-04 06:00:00 I consider myself to be like most American citizens. Contrary to what the national news media portrays, I believe that most Americans families, while flawed, still retain some core values. I understand that we are on a downhill slide morally and we are losing our children with breaknecking speed; however, I still cling to the somewhat antiquated idea of the quiet, small town American family who leads a typical, traditional life. I don't believe that everyone has a meth lab in their basement. Neither do I believe that most postal workers live with suppressed and untreated psychotic tendencies, just waiting to slaughter unsuspecting patrons and co-workers.No, deep down I hold the conviction that most Americans believe in God ? the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that is taught in Sunday schools around the country. I trust that most Americans want a job, and a home, and a family, and I trust that most of us want to work for those things. I dare say that most Americans hold dear firew...

Barack Obama Asks for Our Trust
2009-03-12 13:45:00 Obama thinks al Qaead is merely misunderstood,  He thinks Rush Limbaugh is evil.David Goldstein, McClatchy Newspapers:  WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama said Wednesday that he would never put communities like Leavenworth, Kan., at risk in deciding where to relocate prisoners once the Guantanamo detention camp is closed. ... “I recognize why people are concerned,” the president said. “I have every confidence we can determine the ultimate fates of those in Guantanamo in a way that’s consistent with our values . . . our ideals, and keeps us safe and secure.” As Geraghty’s Law attests, with BO never is a very short time, Jake Tapper and Yunji de Nies:  Candidate Obama said then “we can no longer accept a process that doles out earmarks based on a member of Congress’ seniority, rather than the merit of the project.

As a slogan, it beats "In God We Trust" by a mile. (Commutation 7)
2009-02-18 15:38:00 The local talk show guy, Sly In The Morning, was discussing some article that must have appeared in the paper complaining about the new "Sonic" restaurant that went up in our city recently. I don't know what the complaint was because I didn't read the story, but I was listening to talk radio for a bit (until I got exasperated by the callers and decided I didn't need that kind of toothache-inducing talk in my ears on the way in. I wish talk radio didn't allow callers, because they always turn everything around to Cuba or make up stories about something that happened to them that's too ridiculous to have ever happened.)But, before I turned off the talk radio and put on music, one caller made my day with a stirring recapitulation of what the U.S. Constitution is all about. Taking the newspaper article to task for complaining about a drive-in restaurant, this caller said:"This is America. We can eat where we want!"Bonus: If you click here, you'll find a bizarre website that i...

Review: TRUST ME
2009-01-26 15:21:00 TRUST ME is MAD MEN for the rest of us. What it lacks in 60’s style and elegance, obsessive attention to detail and Christina Hendricks, it more than makes up for thanks to two of the most likable actors in Hollywood. WILL & GRACE’s Eric McCormack (Mason) and ED’s Tom Cavanagh (Conner) play two best friends and working partners at one of Chicago’s most prominent ad agencies. They’re also the sole reason this TV Addict is buying what TRUST ME is selling. From goofing off poolside on a business trip, bickering thanks to an unexpected promotion (for one of them) or drinking Starbucks by the gallon, Mason and Conner demonstrate television friendship at its finest. And if the first two episodes are any indication, the start of a beautiful bromance. TRUST ME premieres on Monday January 26 at 10PM on TNT

SPDR Gold Trust (GLD): Go for gold
2009-01-12 06:00:00 "Gold has outperformed nearly all other investments over the past few years," says Mary Anne Aden (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2673) in The Aden Forecast (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2673). Here, the resource expert looks at her favorite play in the sector."It appears as though this trend for gold's outperformance will continue in the years ahead. Why?"According to Bloomberg, the total amount of money provided by the U.S. government to rescue the financial system over the past year and a half has been $7.4 trillion."That amounts to $24,000 for every man, woman and child, and it’s totally unprecedented. All of this money will eventually fuel inflation and gold is the number one inflation hedge."Currently, President-elect Obama and his team are busy working on how to get the economy moving again. This is their top priority and one plan involves the largest infrastructure investment since the 1950s when all of the super highways...

Search/Internet Marketing: The Importance of Trust & Rapport
2008-11-22 03:14:00 As this blog has said before, Search & Internet Marketing don’t end when the prospect comes through your virtual door. You still have work to do. Many businesses concentrate so much on the work outside the site, they forget completely about the crucial importance of the on site experience. Hawaii business has a long history of being built on relationships and trust. In Honolulu, and especially on our Neighbor Islands, people do not ‘do businesse’ as quickly as on the Mainland. Here, some measure of rapport must be built. If you can establish that you have mutual friends or relatives, even better. It’s a slower, yet in some ways, richer way of business. This need for trust and credibility has direct applications for all businesses on the internet, whether they’re in Hawaii or not. There is a desire by your visitors to feel comfortable buying from you – or just ‘buying you’. Without a brick-and-mortar shop to visit, at least initiall...
