Houselogic - a new site for the consumer - you be the judge
2009-11-20 19:11:00 Houselogic is a new web site for the consumer by NAR (National Association of Realtors). It's in beta form so take a drive and see how you like.... What is this so good? Being a consumer advocate I look for direct sources that benefit the client. What is it? It's a detailed site with knowledge about anything to do with real estate, how to spend and save money on various real estate projects. Basically, anything to improve and maintain your home and make the right financial decision. I bet a lot of you don't know that Realtor.com is not owned by the NAR. They sold the name back in 1996, not understanding where the internet was going. They have no control over the ad content of the site they only make a royalty. So this is NAR's attempt to take all their incredible information and build a web site in house for the consumer! It's sophisticated and smart - owner smart as they say. In my opinion and it's been for the last 5 years, the best re...

Is Ellen DeGeneres the right choice to judge 'American Idol'?
2009-09-10 05:24:00 Would Ellen DeGeneres be a better judge on "So You Think You Can Dance?" Ellen DeGeneresInstead, the talk show host with a habit for hoofing will join "American Idol" in January as the fourth judge, replacing Paula Abdul on the panel with Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi. I guess "Idol" was never completely about the music, was it? DeGeneres will bring the funny, and she'll likely be the voice of America when it comes to her opinions on the music. She is, after all, a fan. But she's a fan with little or no musical background. Fox and the "Idol" producers probably see higher ratings and dollars signs with DeGeneres onboard. She's one of TV's most popular personalities....
Ellen DeGeneres Is The New American Idol Judge
2009-09-10 04:11:00 It’s official; Ellen DeGeneres will be the new fourth judge on American Idol. The comedian has signed on as Paula Abdul’s replacement. According to a just released video, she will sit alongside Randy, Simon, and Kara.I think she could bring some fresh new spunk to the show—plus she’s freakin’ hilarious. I doubt she has the musical know-how that Paula had, but Ellen does claim to be a major fan of the show. Here’s what she had to say about the new gig:"I've watched since the beginning, and I've always been a huge fan. So getting this job is a dream come true, and think of all the money I'll save from not having to text in my vote."She says she’ll be the people’s voice on Idol, and won’t look at the singers from a music producer’s point of view, but from a fan’s perspective.Here’s a video about Ellen DeGeneres on American Idol:The announcement that Ellen will be the new American Idol judge comes several weeks after Paula Abdul tweeted that she wouldn’t be ...

Judge says, "You should have sued the General Assembly"
2009-09-09 23:30:00 Judge Peter Flynn, of the Chancery Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County, has issued a ruling in my Driver's Education Fee lawsuit. That's the case in which I challenged, in behalf of my daughter, Dawn, the $350 fee that Buffalo Grove High School and School District 214 charges for its Driver's Education Behind-the-Wheel class. (The classroom portion of Driver's Ed is free.) Dawn and I challenged the amount of the fee because the $350 charge is used mostly to cover the salary and benefits of Driver's Ed teachers. Article X, Section 1 of the Illinois Constitution, says, in pertinent part: "Education in public schools through the secondary level shall be free." The Illinois Supreme Court, in E. L. Segar...

Saudi Judge gives ignorant excuses for domestic violence. Are we much bett
2009-05-13 16:24:00 Cnn.com was quoted this week:Judge Hamad Al-Razine said that "if a person gives SR 1,200 [$320] to his wife and she spends 900 riyals [$240] to purchase an abaya [the black cover that women in Saudi Arabia must wear] from a brand shop and if her husband slaps her on the face as a reaction to her action, she deserves that punishment."The judge also ignorantly stated:Al-Razine "also pointed out that women's indecent behavior and use of offensive words against their husbands were some of the reasons for domestic violence in the country," it added.We can all see the ignorance in those comments about what domestic violence actually is.

2009-01-19 04:22:00 Image via Wikipedia A cannabis campaigner [and ME sufferer/Blair] who admitted supplying the class C drugs to other pain sufferers has escaped a jail sentence - but received a stern warning from a judge. During sentencing at Plymouth Crown Court, Judge Francis Gilbert made it clear to Stuart Wyatt - who wants to see cannabis legalised for use in pain relief - that he was not above the law. During an exchange with Wyatt's advocate Ali Rafati, Judge Gilbert responded sharply to the news that the 36-year-old's "use of cannabis was ongoing" to mitigate the pain he constantly suffered. Judge Gilbert replied: "Well, that's his misfortune, isn't it? I'm afraid the reality is your client is or has been acting illegally and breaking the law.""You must understand cannabis is an illegal drug, whatever view you have about it," he said. "It's not your privilege to choose whether what you do is lawful or illegal. There is no excuse. You're subject to the law like any other person."He then... |
