We've all seen the heart breaking images of Haiti.
But has it made you think, "How prepared am I?"
Even the U.S. Government takes a "personal disaster preparedness plan" seriously, and has a web page you can visit for helpful tips: Ready.gov
Though no one likes to think about it, the reality is there are numerous types of disasters that could easily leave many without running water, electricity, or even extra food for as little as three days.
Check out the site; make a plan. If you ever need it, you'll be glad you did.
Many of us have already set weight loss goals for this year.
Some have decided to try to lose weight without any extra exercise. There are many reasons as to why someone would want to lose weight without exercise. One of the top reasons would be if you had some sort of disability that limited your ability to exercise.
In a surprising turn, Scott Brown, Republican, won the Massachussetts Senate seat once held by Ted Kennedy, a Democrat.
This turn of events will surely upset the National Healthcare Bill as it stands today, unless, the Democrats are able to rush the bill through before office is taken. Yeah, that's what I want... a rushed bill that costs BILLIONS.
Either way, many Democrats are not happy with the results.
This one is about a cat that performs quite the illusion using nothing more than a couple of drawers.
"The magic cat" video has been all over the web and should be the kind of cat used for "Siegfried and Roy illusions".
We all know that we can't always get cat's to do what we want, but when they pull off tricks like this one, it makes it ok that they're doing their own thing. That makes a cat's behavior worth dealing with.
If you're going to send someone a letter, you need to know how to mail it.
This is a quick tutorial on "how to mail an letter" to someone.
First, write a letter.
Second, get a standard size envelope in which to put your letter.
Third, fold your letter and put it in the envelope.
Fourth, add your return address either on the front top left, or on the back of the envelope. If you don't put your return address on it, and the letter is undeliverable, it won't be returned to you.
Fifth, address the envelope to where it's going.
Sixth, put a stamp (or stamps if it's heavier) on it and place it in your mailbox, putting the flag up, or into a United States Postal Service mail box.
Seventh, wait for a return reply (hopefully you get one).
A game doesn't get the title "Game of the Year" without making a serious impact on some folks.
One of those games is Call of Duty 2. (http://www.garyfarnam.org/games/callofduty2used/callofduty2used.html)
Call of Duty the original introduced us to a well designed game that puts you in the center of the WW II conflict.
Whether you play it on your PC, Xbox, Xbox 360, MAC, PlayStation 2, or GameCube, you're in for the fight of your life in the war that changed everything.
President Obama says, "We want our money back....and we're gonna get it."
The WE is the American taxpayers. The American taxpayers bailed out companies on Wall Street who are now doing well enough to pay out "massive bonuses" to executives.
A "Financial Crisis Responsibility Fee" is being imposed on these companies until the American people are fully compensated. I wonder how much that is and for how long? Guess we will wait and see.
A popular trend, especially this time of year, is "weight loss" (or "weight loss diet").
With the holidays behind us, many of us are ready to shed those extra pounds that all of those get togethers, dinners, etc helped to put on.
For those with a "high metabolism", the pounds may be few, but the average weight gain during the last quarter of the year tends to be around 7 to 10 pounds. Have you dared to step on the scale yet?
With an ocean of weight loss plans available, it is possible to "lose weight without exercise". This is a trend that many are seeking because just dieting is hard enough without the added pain of exercise.
Although, if you're really looking to "increase your metabolism", adding some muscle building exercise, or interval exercises (go, go faster, slow down, go faster, etc) can speed up the weight loss for most.
Not a stranger to the spotlight, former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich will be guest hosting the new internet show, "The Late Net Show" at 11pm on February 11th or 18th (sources haven't confirmed which date yet).
The weekly show will also possibly have guest hosts such as Donald Trump, Alec Baldwin, and Floyd Mayweather in the near future.
With "Blago's Book Club" and round table topics, the pretty much uncensored show is believed to be a future hit. However, since it is on the internet, the content could prove objectionable to say the least, so beware.
magicJackhas now developed a method of using "femtocells" to basically put a small cell phone tower right in your home.
From there, the call is routed over a broadband internet connection so that no minutes are deducted from the cell phone, and this also means less load on local cell phone towers. Could this be the "disappearance of cell phone fees"?
The new and improved magicJack device will soon be a hot product and is about the size of a deck of cards. It will reportedly connect to any phone that uses GSM.
How's that for a headline of the future? It's all about the "collapse of China".
Will it come to pass? We'll have to wait and see, but the predictor of the Enron scandal will be confidently sharing this headline at the University of Oxford later this month.
Skeptics say this predictor, James S. Chanos, doesn't really know enough about "China's economy" and has only really been doing research since this past summer.
Aggressive bank lending is partly to blame for the creation of artificial demand for the potential "collapse in China", as well as it's stimulus program.
The book "The Coming Collapse of China"(Random House), in 2001 warned of China's possible crash. Let's see if the prediction comes true.
If you're a fan of A.L.F., the Alien Life Form, you can STILL watch great episodes of the popular 80's sitcom at Fancast.com.

Watch popular videos such as "Fireflies" and even user created videos with lyrics.
Where will Adam Young take us next? Though I would never wish insomnia on anyone, if that is the true inspiration for this project, it's a good thing. I'm sure many of you agree in this instance :)
The holidays are over, and here we are with some extra holiday pounds put on from Thanksgiving through Christmas and all those little get togethers in between.
