By: Brian Jones | 2010-11-29 | Article Marketing I received an email notice from Amazon terminating my participation in the Amazon Associates program. I have been earning around $120 a month from this program, by placing ads for recommended books on various web sites that I own. This was a nice bonus for recommending good products from a company that has always done well by me. read more

By: Leslie Cane | 2011-05-09 | Marriage I recently heard from a wife whose husband had been repeatedly telling her that he was tired of her. Every time a topic that came up that the husband didn't like (or he was uncomfortable with,) he would sigh and say something like: "I'm getting so tired of you always trying to bring me down, always nagging me, and always wanting something from me. It's to the point where I'd rather be away from you than with you. I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to want to stay in this marriage." read more

And, recently she was contemplated begging. Basically, she told me that she was willing to "do whatever it took" to keep him from walking out the door. read more

Social media, of course, refers to online communities such as Facebook, and MySpace, sharing sites like YouTube and Flickr and specialized sites like Shelfari. It also includes blogs and Twitter, the popular "micro blog." read more

By: R.H. Sheldon | 2010-04-04 | Politics Politicians love words. Words are the humvees that drive their careers. Words are the fuming, belching, testosterone-pumping, poison-producing armored vehicles that fuel campaigns and deliver elections. And two words shine out brighter than a star spangled banner flapping gloriously in front of an acre of storage units: "socialized medicine." With a simple twist of the tongue, any political hack can use this one-size-fits-all phrase to demonize opponents, cater to special interests, and scare the heebee geebees out of just about anyone willing to listen. read more
