CBS: Who Dat? Saints Win Super Bowl

New Orleans will be partying for a long time to come; celebrating the winning of the Super Bowl and Mardi Gras. Congrats!

There was so much commotion in the media about all the money spent on ads, before this event took place. Even now, the competition is still in full swing; CNN: Best, worst Super Bowl ads.

I don't think it is so much about what is the best or worst commercial shown during the Super Bowl; it is producing that specific ad that keeps people talking for a long time after the event.

Unfortunately, that advertisement may not have been shown during this sports event: MSNBC: Good brews! Beer may be good for your bones. It may not be the best add, but it sure is the most lucrative one.

I hope that includes root beer!

CNN: Poof: 800,000 jobs disappear

Incredible; 800,000 jobs gone. They just vanished in to thin air as if it was nothing. Whoever accomplished that did a good job and I also suspect he left himself out of the equation.

I feel sorry for all those afflicted by this occurrence. Their lives changed from one minute to the next. Imagine thinking you are safe and secure and suddenly they pull the bottom out from under you and you fall in to a black hole. No matter where you land, it is going to be a horrible situation all together.

Reading on through the headlines I started doubting about the disappearance of the jobs. I mean, yeah they disappeared alright, but how? My question was raised by the following: CNN: Businessmen snatched off streets. If those businessmen were snatched away, then the jobs went with them.

It kind of makes me wonder what forces are at work here. Maybe area 51 is not as 'lifeless' as we thought and the government struck a deal with the E.T.s, saving them from being blamed. It could explain the snatching up of the businessmen.

This is probably just a figment of my imagination though. What or who caused these jobs to disappear is actually irrelevant; it happened.

... and it sure came out of the blue!

CNN: Bang for the buck. Finally

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Charter. All opinions are 100% mine.

I read somewhere that the amount of time which people spend during their entire lives on waiting, added up to several years. That applies to each one of us; just think how much time you wasted having to wait in line at the register, being put on hold on the phone or honking at the Dodo in front of you at the traffic lights who apparently has never seen the color green before.

We may not always be aware of it, but nowadays we are responsible for the majority of that precious, lost time. How? Well, since you are reading this you are using a computer. Total up all those minutes before your Internet service finally brought up the site you were looking for. That might equate to quite a large number on a daily basis. You better stop waiting and get going!


It may even turn out that besides wasting untold hours, you are wasting your money on a slow server as well. For just $19.99 you can already get Charter's High-Speed, secure and reliable Internet. When you get it then you better buckle up, otherwise the velocity of this service will knock you out of your seat. Don't forget to make the connection with Charter’s Facebook page as well and stay updated on what all is going on.

With free installation that is the best bang for your buck. Finally!

CNN: Grand jury dusts off 31 cold cases

It is hard to tell how long those cases have been gathering dust, but apparently they have been for years and now the time is ripe to open them.

There is no telling what will come out of it. It takes a good nose to pick up on the leads to determine whether the contents has been bottled up long enough or should be at rest a little while longer.

Since they have been gathering dust it is probably safe to assume that it concerns 31 cold cases of wine. On second thought; it could be cases of the cold as well, but then I would be inclined to ask what needs dusting off?

It could have been their noses and if that is the case then they never bothered to take a good look at what was right in front of them.

The evidence is in the dust!

ABC: Toyota's Recall Leaves Drivers in the Dark

That is an indication that it is time for Toyota to shine a light on the subject. Right now, there is way too much confusion about the what and how and seeing the headlines in the media it is impossible to tell who or what to believe.

Previous reports indicated that the gas pedal had a problem and according to CBS: Toyota: We Fixed the Gas Pedal Problem. Oh good, so we are in the clear then. Ehhh.... no, not really because then I read ABC: Toyota Supplier Says Sticky Gas Pedals Not the Problem.

If the gas pedals were not the problem, then what on earth did Toyota fix?? More prevalent would be the question why the cars were then recalled in the first place? Oh, forgive my ignorance; CNN: Toyota recall explained. Wonderful! At least there is some light at the end of the tunnel.

For whom? I don't know because I am still wandering around in the pitch dark. I would suggest to Toyota owners to not even try anymore giving it a shot in the dark; they may end up shooting themselves in the foot and that would be very inconvenient at this moment.

Being without a car and all!

CBS:Will Obama Be Looking for the Reset Button?

I don't think that pressing the reset button will do much good at this point, unless it gives the option to start over with the default settings he began with.

A lot of water has already gone under the bridge and several programs have been altered, affected or even infected by his actions. That is not an easy fix.

Formatting the hard drive could turn out to be the only option. Yup, start from scratch and give a lot of thought on what operating system to install.

Even though a certain operating system may be the choice of the majority of the people, it may still have a lot of bugs which need working out.

It would benefit everyone making use of a reliable, well-working, renowned system even if it would take a little longer to come up with good solutions. It will certainly get the job done, but with a demo you never know!

FOX NEWS: The Top 10 Non Protective Most Common Internet Passwords

It is sad, but true; many times when you open an account on the Internet, providing a password is a requirement. As soon as you do that you better put on Filter Fabric Protective Clothing because the heat is on.

You may not have been aware of it, but you fired up the hackers by challenging them even more to break the code. Protecting yourself is essential by choosing a password with a high security level and '123456' or 'password' are definitely not one of them.

They are not very original either; many people seem to use them. Birthdays, children's and spouses' names are often chosen in the heat of the moment, but are easily figured out as well.

Instead of added fuel to the fire it is best to go through fire and water to ensure your account's safety. Just take the time filtering out common passwords and come up with a good protective word which is difficult to pass. Which one is the best?

The one you can't remember!

CBS: Homes Sales Plummet 16.7% in December

I don't understand why the media is making such a big deal out of that. December is the most expensive month of the year for most people and the biggest chunk of their income goes towards presents and other Holiday expenses.

There is no doubt in my mind that as the year progresses, the sale of houses will pick back up. It is still one of the best times to buy another home; the choice is abundant and the prices are relatively low which presents lots of opportunities for especially first time home buyers.

Even those who already are the proud owners of a house are turning it in to a castle. Lots of money is invested in renovations and remodeling and I suspect Contractors will have their hands full for a while to come.

It may seem like it would be a lot cheaper to do it yourself, but I tend to differ. You really have to know what you are doing and the problems you would run in to could be devastating to both your budget and your sanity.

It is best to leave that job in capable hands. Besides, what is more pleasant then sitting on your hands and watch other people do the work?!
