What is the business model of the Internet's backbone infrastructure? For example, when I access Yahoo!, there is a connection between my home and my IPS, which I pay for, called the "last mile". My IPS probably pays some larger company to gain access to the Net, but from there on, the packets can go any route all away acrross thousands of miles to CA, USA. Most of the distance is covered through very expensive backbone connections (that connect cities, countries and continents together). Due to TCP's characteristics, there is no way of controlling what backbone my packets will be using, much less (I imagine) billing for it. So who pays for this investment?

Where can I find information about internet business models based on advertising?

Internet Start-Ups and The Google Business Model.? Alot of start-ups seem to be still running the internet start-up scams. They some how get the attention of vc's and the vc's pump up the company in order to get a IPO to sell out for profit. I noticed that these companies are nothing special. There are alot of sites on the interenet like myspace that are setup better. Youtube for some reason became popular. There are many other sites better than Youtube that existed before anyone ever heard of Youtube. And there is Google. Is Google an advertising company? None of there proposed applications they seem to always be working on pan out and none of there programs are original. There stock is at $500 or something like that. How can you have a stock price that high for an advertising company like Google? There not the first to have a search with matching ads matching search. When analyst and investors realize that it is all hype and fake they will short sell and I will too. What do you think?

Hi everyone, what is your opinion about Internet banking? Actually, I would like to design a new business model for the internet banking sector. This business model will be identical to Google’s and E-bay’s business models. The suggested business model will be based on the creation of customer communities for the exchange of financial services or products. Analyze your personal opinion about this business model.

Why can't record companies see that their business model is flawed and fading? Very recently Madonna and RadioHead who are now free from their contracts turned the music distribution tables on their heads when Madonna announced she had signed a contract with a promoter, not a record company and RadioHead is making its music avaiable on the internet for as little as 2 cents per song. It's like...Duh, we don't need record companies any more. I knew this a long time ago.

My Business Idea? Ok here's what I was planning to do but had trouble finding a supplier. Please rate this idea and give me your honest answer. I was going to start a jewelry business on the Avon business model. Actively marketing my products instead of waiting for customers. The Jewelry I was going to sell is very appealing to the eye and very desirable. I was also going to sell it an affordable price. Appealing, quality hand made gold and silver jewelry sold actively by women to women and also on the internet and on ebay. Eventually I was also going to try and negotiate with jewelry stores. Please tell me if this idea would have failed and why?? I know that everyone is selling jewelry, but this jewelry like I said is very very desirable and very pleasing to the eye. It's hand made 18k gold with nice gem stones and it wins in international competitions every time!! That is what my strength would be, the beauty and quality of the product. The ladies would have to order it just like with Avon and it would take a week or so to get, but they would not be disappointed!!

How is Google legal? As far as I can tell, their business model relies on crawling the entire Internet, then downloading it to their servers and presenting that content within their websites, then linking to these sites. So my question is: How is this legal? Some sites explicitly forbid crawling in their TOS. Is it just that no one has sued yet?

Well, I'm not happy and surprise, surprise, Elaine and George now say they never gave me that guarantee.

Where on the internet can I find a screenplay contract? Like an idiot, I let og of my agent a little over a year ago. I have found a director in Dallas who wants to purchase the option and the rights to produce. I just need a model contract of some sort to basically fill in the blanks. Although I have been in the business for a few years, I have no idea how the contract should look. He is a director, and not usually a producer, so he is in the same boat as me. Any help would be great.

WhitieMan, is he the model to follow to be successful? What are the traits or characteristics that whitie man resort to make money in USA? White Man does these things to "get ahead": 1. attend college and join fraternity 2. go out binge drinking to fit into the white culture 3. take advantage of the stolen old exams of all professors kept in the Frat House 4. learn to sleep around, this will help dull out any "square" characteristic traits you may still have. This will prepare you for the business environment of how not to be "square". 5. learn how to cheat on exams 6. have someone else do your homework, so you can participate in extracurricular activities and meet some hotties, and network so that they can help you land a job after you graduate. Especially ones with parents with nice comfy jobs. 7. don't be honest, learn how to lie, the better you lie, the hirer you climb the ladder of success What Whitie should not do: 1. do not study too much, pay others to do the work for you 2. copy essays from the internet, don't do them 3. take ethics class, and learn not to follow it

Are these two litmus test questions fair to see whether a startup is serious? I was referred by a friend to a startup company, their goal is to do media work, tv, radio, internet...etc. I asked two questions, 1. Do you have any role model businesses to look up to? 2. Do you have examples of failed startups to learn their mistakes from? Are these fair questions to see whether they are serious? They answered no to both, and I walked out of the room laughing because I can't believe I can have a serious convo with somebody who hasn't done their homework. They didn't get any professional funding, and I won't doubt they'll ask the same questions. If you were to ask them questions that sounded like "what's your plan" or "why will you succeed" their answers will be the same, and won't matter if they've not done homework.

WARNING :Diamond Productions, Inc. aka Diamond Productions Talent Booking aka Commercial Cast (http://www.comm STAY AWAY FROM THIS SO CALL MODELING AGENCY. THEY SCAM BOTH ME AND MY SON.PLEASE READ BELOW Easy Background Check Diamond Productions, Inc. aka Diamond Productions Talent Booking aka Commercial Cast (http://www.commercialcast.org/) by Christina Aston Superb "Magazine"; Animations "International" March 15, 2005 [Last Updated: September 13, 2005] Addresses 5602 Baltimore National Pike Suite 200 Catonsville, MD 21228 3500 Dolfield Ave. Box 68012 Baltimore, MD 21215 2226 MADISON AVENUE BALTIMORE, MD 21217 Inquiries Several people, both parents and aspiring models and actors, have asked about Diamond Productions, wanting to know if it is legit. The following information was developed in response to public interest. Report March 15, 2005 [Last Updated: September 13, 2005] Ownership/Leadership Diamond Productions Talent Booking is owned and operated by Christina Aston, an aspiring actress in Baltimore, MD. Website The Diamond Productions website is not www.diamondproductions.com, but www.commercialcast.org. Licensing/Bonding It was confirmed in March 2005 by the Maryland Department of Labor that Diamond Productions does not need a license (state licensing requirement was repealed in April 2003), but it does have to pay a surety bond in the amount of $7,000, and it has paid this fee. Diamond Productions, therefore, can do business as a modeling and talent agency in Maryland. However, one of the prohibited acts under the employment law for talent agencies is charging registration fees or advance fees: "An employment agency may not. . . . charge a client a registration fee or collect in advance from a client a payment for service to be performed for the client to obtain employment." Consumer Comments Consumers have reported Diamond Productions asked them to pay a registration fee in the amount of $75.00. This was called a job guarantee fee. BBB The Better Business Bureau (at the time of writing) received complaints, but it has no unresolved complaints. However, the BBB also noted Diamond Productions has not been forthcoming about basic business information: "The Bureau has requested basic information from this company. The Bureau has not received a response." Comments Before doing business or giving money away, consumers should ask Diamond Productions what information they refused to give the BBB and why. The BBB's standard request for information is not invasive and only intended to protect the public, and most companies provide the requested information. Background Diamond Productions claims it has been in business for 10 years (http://commercialcast.org/sys-tmpl/faqaboutus/) [March 15, 2005]. The website of the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation, however, records it was registered in 1998: "Date of Formation or Registration: 09/10/1998." The record also showed DP's status was "Forfeited," which means "its existence has been ended by the State for some delinquency." The details for DP: "THE ENTITY WAS FORFEITED FOR FAILURE TO FILE PROPERTY RETURN FOR 1999." "Good standing": "No." References All of the references or "Testimonials" DP provided on its website were html text which could not be verified. You cannot tell if they were made up. The About Us page did not provide the names and testimony of any industry leaders or major clients recommending CommercialCast and its unusual practices. Unusual Practices Diamond Productions aka CommercialCast is not your typical modeling and talent agency. In fact, after reviewing many different modeling companies, it is fair to say there is nothing like Diamond Productions. It is quite unusual, and not in an obviously good way. For example, DP says it is not an agency (even though the Maryland law defines an agency as a company that "provides a client with information to enable the client to obtain employment"), but it has paid the surety bond, which is required of every employment (modeling/talent) agency. A model on one modeling website, CurvyChick.com, sarcastically called Diamond Productions a "'non-agent' agency." It is also called Diamond Productions Talent Booking, according to the BBB. Booking agencies for modeling and acting jobs typically charge no fees for anything before talent works. DP charges a registration fee and charges talent for several extra services. Typically modeling agencies always take a commission, usually 20%; whereas DP says it does not collect any commission. DP says it also does "a phone audition service which guarantees talent participation in on-the-spot auditions." (http://commercialcast.org/sys-tmpl/animationsinternational/) [March 15, 2005]. This is highly unusual. Unknown talent receive notices of guaranteed bookings or "Booking Confirmations" for commercials, etc., when they have never even met with the client. Normally, talent goes to an audition or more than one audition, actually speaks in front of the client or casting director, who can evaluate their look and discern their talent. You have to wonder what kind of clients book talent they have never met. Telephone calls are no substitute for meeting one-on-one. Fees, Fees, and More Fees Diamond Productions charges talent advance fees. After they are "booked," they are asked to pay a $75.00 "job guarantee" fee. > I recently replied by sending a head shot and resume for a casting call > to a website called www.commercialcast.org. I received a response stating > that I had been selected to appear in a television ad for XXXX. A speaking > role for a spec commercial. It seems pretty detailed with an address, the > amount of pay and shooting date. They do however require a $75.00 job > guarantee fee. Here is all the information that was emailed to me. I am > supposed to pay and respond by XX-XX so if you have any information it > would be greatly appreciated. This socalled job guarantee fee is not common of modeling/talent agencies and it is widely regarded as unethical to charge talent any registration fees, no matter what terms, phrases, or words are used to conceal or blur the fact they are registration fees. Talent, further, are asked to pay audition fees. "To participate in the current auditions, you will need to pay a one-time access fee of $60 to Diamond Productions to obtain full access for a period of one year." Reputable modeling and talent agencies do not charge audition fees. (http://commercialcast.org/sys-tmpl/animationsinternational/) [March 15, 2005]. Diamond Productions has devised as many ways as possible to take your money before you work. For an internet "marketing tool" or scrapbook, called a "magazine," you must pay $25. You can pay even more if you want to be featured on their website: SUPERB MAGAZINE IS AN ONLINE MAGAZINE TO BE VIEWED BY SUBSCRIPTION HOLDERS ONLY. TO BECOME A SUBSCRIPTION HOLDER, YOU MAY RECEIVE ONLINE COPIES OF EACH MONTHLY ISSUE FOR THE AMOUNT OF $25 FOR 6 MONTHS. . . . 1 MONTH APPEARANCE FEE = $50.00. (http://commercialcast.org/sys-tmpl/scrapbook/) [March 15, 2005]. Consumers also report they were asked to pay DP for classes by video. This was highly unusual and self-serving, because the talent had apparently already been booked--before the training! Why would an agent book talent if it had not been trained or it felt that training was needed? Obviously it normally would not do this, but in the DP case, it gets paid a nice chunk of change. > I am an aspiring actress and had submitted to this company who now > says it will book me in a commercial for XXXXX. All I need to do > is come up for a preparation workshop to guarantee my spot. They > sent me an email with a contract that looks very good. Please let > me know about this as I have to sign up by XXXXX to reserve my > spot. DP's commercialcast website indicates they book talent in California: Commercialcast New York is our Talent Booking Division for New York based talent. This division handles talent to be cast in the New York, New Jersey and the Washington, DC areas. A wide rangs [sic] of bookings are handled in the Los Angeles area of California as well. (http://www.commercialcast.org/sys-tmpl/door/) [March 15, 2005]. California law, however, is extremely strict with respect to advance fees charged to talent. Labor Code 1700, for example, prohibits talent agencies from charging any fees for anything before talent gets work. Talent agencies are not even allowed to collect fees, even if they keep none of them for themselves. The law is set like that because so many scams charged talent advance fees. How the scheme works Since DP is uncommon in its fee schedule, not charging commissions, you have wonder why. The only rational explanation is DP thinks or knows it can make more money from charging talent fees instead of getting commissions. What other explanation is there? There is not enough information available yet to call DP a scam, even though it charges advance fees for registration and classes like many modeling scams, but there is an obvious scheme. The scheme is designed to get talent to pay them before they work and even if they don't work. The lure is very strong when talent receives a "Booking Confirmation" notice. This makes it appear as if talent has already got a job. Excitement takes over. It appears as if they are so close to working as an actor or model, the hardest part is complete. Now all they have to do is show up or pay a little fee to guarantee a job. The fee seems so trivial in comparison to the mega bucks they could earn; it seems worth it. This has the effect of stringing talent along. Then they are told about the acting seminar or video. Less than $200? Nothing compared to the big bucks they'll earn from commercials and residuals, right? Not so fast! The fact that DP does not take commissions could mislead talent into thinking they are getting a deal, i.e., after they work, they keep all the money, nothing gets cut for the agency. If the payout, however, is very small, because the job was very minor, it does not help talent, and it is certainly not a "deal." Money Back If you want your money back, know that DP paid $7,000 into an "insurance" fund for those who feel they were misled, and you could make a claim for a portion of this money.

Tribike Gears? I’m thinking of assembling a tri-bike which I can use for leisure as well as for business. I had seen several Cyclemaximus tri-bike models in the Internet and also the several links available with that website. However, I did not find what I was looking for. What I cannot figure out is how I assemble the following: (1) type of rear hub/gear that will pull the (two) rear wheelsets into motion; (2) the rear derailleur; (3) brakes; and how many set of chains do I need? Thanks in advance and I will appreciate any good advice or any website where I can see a perfect example of the assembled rear gears.

It all of the sudden doesn't work! Samsung TXM3098WHF 30" TV? We have a Samsung TXM3098WHF 30" TV that is less than 5 years old. We paid $1200.00 for it and have taken very good care of it. This morning while I was watching TV, it had a blue-like zap on the screen and then powered off. Now if you turn it on you hear about 5 seconds of audio with a black screen and then it turns itself off again. UGH! Samsung doesn't have a customer service hotline and the store we purchased it from is no longer in business. Researching on the internet has led me to the conclusion that this model has discontinued. Help! Any ideas???

Cingular cell phone says No Network at all times? For about a whole day, this cell phone says No Network. I can't make any calls, but the phone itself and its other features (excluding internet services) work just fine. How can I fix this No Network business? I don't remember the model, but it's a red Samsung.

1986 Avalon Frolic 32' Travel Trailer Weight?

How can I bypass a password that is blocking my entry on a computer processor I received ? I currently have a compac processor model# 5304, running windows 98 which limits my internet explore usage. I was given a more powerful processor with more modernized programs. However, it was used in a business and had an individuals password that is blocking me from getting into it. Any suggestions as how to bypass the password entry ?

When will ESPN learn that their business model for their ESPN360 website will never work? ESPN will never convince more than a few ISPs to charge their customers more so that their customers aren't denied access to ESPN's video web site. They've been trying unsuccessfully for a few years now and have even taken to putting events exclusively on ESPN360 in hopes that those who want to watch the games will go to their ISP and demand an increase in their bill for Internet services. While they may get away with doing this to TV providers (because TV is highly regulated and centralized), they will not be able to do this on the Internet, which is decentralized and unregulated. The dynamics of the Internet market make deviating from net neutrality financially harmful to both ISPs and website owners. ISPs that limit how much you can use the connection and websites that are restricted to certain ISPs don't do well, especially where the competition observes net neutrality. When will ESPN stop trying to impose a TV business model onto the Internet?

I plan on buying a new car and i know which make and model i want.? I have decided to use the internet in my favor. I want to keep this simple and not have to go to 6 dealerships to compare prices. I know there are sites where local dealerships bid with the best prices for your business. Which sites are best for this? Has anyone had any true life experiences with this practice? Pro's or con's please? Thanks.

Is it true that an internet used car price can not be negotiated down? So...Its car buying time and I'm so excited! (NOT!) With car dealers trying to fast talk you and shovel the keys down your throat to that "HOT" car that is going to sell out if you don't jump on the opportunity who's not going to be ecstatic. Anyway on to my question...So I walk onto the lot and spot the car from the dealers online website. But when we get down to business he claims that an internet price can not be negotiated down because of some lame excuse about the car coming from somewhere else with that price so they can't do anything about the price. Can he be serious? Since when can you not work out a deal and get a price of a car down? In the end of course I ended up walking away and that same afternoon found the same make/model car that was the same year for a couple thousand less, has a better engine, also had a sunroof and to top it off is about 13000 miles less! So how serious was this dude?! And yes Mr.Dealermole this guy was trying to make a deal...they wouldn't even let us leave trying to make their point about how i won't find a deal like that one and so on and so on...they even added more money for my trade-in but it just wasn't good enough! Give me a break!

How do I adjust the automatic closer on a commercial door. It's internal at the top. It won't quite shut. The tag on the door reads "Jackson Exit Device Corporation, Los Angeles 23, CA Closer model 20-330". Bugs are getting into the office at night and its not closing makes it impossible to seal with weatherstripping. I can't find anything, yet, on the internet and it seems this company has gone out of business. At the top near the pivot there are three screws (5/32" allen wrench), but they don't seem to adjust, they just tighten. Thanks, Mike.

A friend of mine proposed I start a blog and he be the web developer. What's a reasonable split for profits? I have no idea how much time it takes to write a blog versus creating, maintaining, and editing it (keeping up with and implementing the latest developments in internet technology and the blogosphere). My friend says he has 10 years of experience with web development and could provide all of the "internet marketing, e-commerce, blogging, search engine optimization, web application development, social networking, social media optimization, graphic design, interface design, copywriting, etc." He proposed splitting the profits from ads, affiliate links, etc. 50/50 and letting me keep 100% of the profits I get from referrals for my private counseling business, but 50/50 feels too high. What do you think is a reasonable percentage split of profits? Would you recommend splitting profits, or having some other business model (flat fee, hourly pay, etc.)? And any suggestions on how to fashion a prearranged buyout agreement in case we decide to split ways in the future so I can retain the site?

How can I find a modeling agency for my hubby that specializes in older mature adults? He use to do some modeling through an agency that specialized in print ad work (and some commrcials) for older adults 10 years ago, but at the time he was working full time and he couldn't go out on all of the shoots, the the agency was bought out by a larger one ...then they went out of business. My hubby is now retired from his 8-5 job and will have the time. I looked on the internet and mostst of the agencies want 20 somethings, and I KNOW that there is a need for everyday faces and older people. just need to know where to start! Thanks!

Ever noticed a disturbing trend about today's advertising? Okay, I may ruffle some feathers here but bear with me on this one. It seems that most of the ads today claim that their aim is to 'enhance the quality of life'. But I do notice some of the disturbing trend of that 'enhancing because I believe it's working the other way round. I mean, it seems that today's advertising aims to make one feel like what they have is simply not enough.... maybe am wrong but it does kinda give people a degree of greed. Take for example a cellular phone. They churn out new models faster than you can even fully appreciate the then-newest model. I got a nifty one with a camera, internet etc. But all I really wanted was one that I can use to call and send message with. I have to change because they no longer sell the kind of battery that power the old phone. I had no choice. But I do believe that we need to simplify things a bit. It doesn't help us much with our depleting resources. But it goes against the principles of doing business and making money, right? Yep, got your point , doc. That's why simplicity really goes against the objectives of doing business. I totally agree with you, hey. Living simple life today seems difficult. I got a PS One. It's gathering dust now. I simply cannot allow myself to keep up with the trend by buying the newer systems

Who's behind ASDCASHGENERATOR? ASD Cash Generator is a "profit/revenue- share" type internet advertising company that allows you to generate money by viewing websites. I'm using ASD to advertise 5 of my sites and have received real traffic and leads from it. Each day a paid member views ads, they get a share in the profits of the company paid directly to their accounts until the member pockets 25% more than they spent. At the time of this writing, their current daily interest rate has been averaging about 0.50% - 2% per day, and is primarily based on the total the number of ad package sales for the previous day. The daily rebate rate will vary and is not fixed. All you have to do is view 24 web sites each day for 15 seconds each to receive your daily rebate that equals to about 6 minutes. Who's running the show? The company was founded over a year ago by CEO, Andy Bowdoin. In doing my due diligence and searching over 9 pages of information on Google on him (all positive), I found that he has quite an extraordinary reputation, not only as a career Advertising man, but as a man of exceptional integrity. He has over 40 years experience in sales and marketing, and has had success in everything he's done. He started his sales career working with the Dale Carnegie Courses in the early sixties and later worked with the Napoleon Hill Leadership Program. Andy has trained thousands of sales people during his career and started several companies. He expanded a 60-minute dry cleaning franchise throughout the Southeast and Midwest. He developed a company that sold wireless communication franchises throughout the U.S. and then started a company to market credit card processing for merchants. In 1999, Andy did research and discovered a need for GPS Tracking for fleet vehicles and GPS Tech was created. In 2006, Andy again saw a new opportunity - the need for a new way to deliver advertising to the masses and Ad Surf Daily, Inc. was born. He modified his marketing strategies for the internet and attracted over 5,000 members in 120 days and sold over $1,200,000 in services. He now teaches his ASD members his strategies to help them build their internet businesses. ASD has a physical office located in Quincy Florida, a state of the art online support ticketing system and real telephone support where customer service reps handle all support questions or inquiries. One of the big perks with this program is they have an account with Bank of America where you can make direct deposits. They withstood a rigorous Verification Process (common sense will tell you Bank of America doesn't do business with scams). * Sustainable Payout Structure, NO guarantee of earnings in a set time. * Daily Payouts fluctuate with daily sales - true Profit Sharing, NOT a Ponzi. * Daily sales posted each day with your exact payout percentage. * Zero Cost Membership. * Structured like a REAL business with CEO, Executive Officers, Chief Administrator * Full information on CEO, not some 'anonymous' admin How is the company revenue distributed? The ASD Cash Generator business plan pays 50% of all daily ad buys back to the advertisers, 15% in referral commissions (on two levels) and 25% for expenses and corporate profits. By never paying out more than they take in, ASD will never encounter the cash-flow problems that have plagued other paid-to-surf programs. You'll receive a variable percentage daily of that 50% revenue, for surfing 24 sites daily, until you reach 125% of your ad purchase (25% profit), and then you'll re-cycle. Members in the US are sent 1099s for any net profits (not advertising purchases) earned each year from ASD, but you can write off anything you purchase in advertising packages, and in turn, save money on your taxes! Note: ASD Cash Generator is actually the 3rd get-paid-to-surf type program Andy has created. The first two programs were discontinued last year due to programming script problems. All the previous members had their balances transferred over to the new restructured ASD Cash Generator program or were refunded. ASD Cash Generator launched in July 2007. Speak Spanish? ASD also has a Spanish version of the English ASD website for those wishing to either view Spanish-based websites or know people who would like to earn money surfing a Spanish site. It's set to be available for surfing and advertising in the beginning of February. No sponsoring or recruiting is required, but for those that wish to refer others to ASD, they have a referral program that pays up to a 10% commission from the ad credits purchased that you personally refer, and up to a 5% commission from the ad credits of those referred by your direct referrals for a total of 15% total referral commission paid on 2 levels. What's the maximum number of Ad Packages I can purchase? Twelve thousand (12000). Ad Packages are $1.00 each, so the maximum you can own at any one time is $12,000 USD. ASD requires that you have a product, service, program or opportunity that includes a web site to advertise in order to be an advertiser. Note: If you don't have a website to advertise, you can contact me for one to use. 3 Membership Levels: (Optional monthly subscription) You can join ASD for FREE to advertise your site, or you can upgrade and advertise your business and earn cash-back rebates at the same time. The free membership will always be there and advertisers can get FREE advertising by viewing other web sites on the ASD Cash Generator Web Site. An advertiser can pay a monthly membership fee and reduce cash out fees, increase referral commissions and decrease the number of sites to view on a daily basis. The amount of your monthly membership fee determines the number of times you can cash out each week, the amount of your referral commissions and the number of sites you must view each day to receive your rebates. Monthly Memberships: * $10 per mo. fee = Cashout on Mondays Only and 5% referral commission for 1st level and 3% on 2nd level, * $25 per mo. fee = Cashout on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays and 7% referral commission for 1st level and 4% on 2nd level, * $100 per mo. fee = Exec. VIP Plan, Cashout DAILY and 10% referral commission on 1st level and 5% on 2nd level. Special Promotion through Tuesday, January 22, 2008. If you purchase $500 - $999 in Ad Package purchases, you'll receive 3 month Exec. VIP membership level upgrade. For $1,000- $1,999 in Ad Package purchases, you'll receive 6 months Exec. VIP membership level, and for $2000 or more in Ad Package purchases, you'll receive 1 year Exec. VIP membership level upgrade. Do I have to pay a membership fee? No. If you just want to be a passive member in ASD and receive cash back rebates from your ad purchases, you don't need to pay a monthly membership fee. It's primarily for people who choose to refer other advertisers or want to increase the frequency that they can withdraw their profits. If you don't pay a membership fee and you decide to refer others (optional), you'll be paid a 3% referral commission on all of your personal referrals only. What payment processors are available? Currently Alert Pay, Solid Trust Pay ,direct deposit into Bank of America account, cashier checks and mail in money order. Soon to come will be an International Debit card What happens if I'm unable to view and rate websites on any given day? If you miss a day and you're unable to view and rate ads (for any reason) you don't lose anything, it just freezes and extends the time line until you come back. Personal opinion: From everything I've researched, Andy Bowdoin is a man of integrity who does what he says he's going to do. He has a rock-solid business plan and experience based on verifiable and publicly available information. Everything is very transparent. His business model is a win win for everyone and very lucrative for both passive and active members. Advertisers who simply want to be sure their website get seen, get exactly what they pay for. Entrepreneurs who want a passive way of growing their money, get the ability of doing so for simply viewing ads daily. They get quality prospects visiting their websites which will ultimately turn into sign ups, sales, or more business partners. You can get a 25% bonus on your advertising dollars spent for simply investing 10 minutes per day to view others sites. So if you purchase $1,000 in advertising from ASD, you'll get paid daily until you receive $1,250 back. It doesn't matter if you purchase an ad for $10 or $500... if you do nothing else but view ads, the results are the same and you'll eventually earn 125% of what you spend (25% net profit).

What do you think of this letter Bush might write? The speech George W. Bush might give: Normally, I start these things out by saying 'My Fellow Americans.' Not doing it this time. If the polls are any indication, I don't know who more than half of you are anymore. I do know something terrible has happened, and that you're really not fellow Americans any longer. I'll cut right to the chase here: I quit. Now before anyone gets all in a lather about me quitting to avoid impeachment, or to avoid prosecution or something, let me assure you: There's been no breaking of laws or impeachable offenses in this office. The reason I'm quitting is simple. I'm fed up with you people. I'm fed up because you have no understanding of what's really going on in the world. Or of what's going on in this once-great nation of ours. And the majority of you are too damned lazy to do your homework and figure it out. Let's start local. You've been sold a bill of goods by politicians and the news media. Polls show that the majority of you think the economy is in the tank. And that's despite record numbers of homeowners, including record numbers of MINORITY homeowners. And while we're mentioning minorities, I'll point out that minority business ownership is at an all-time high. Our unemployment rate is as low as it ever was during the Clinton administration. I've mentioned all those things before, but it doesn't seem to have sunk in. Despite the shock to our economy of 9/11, the stock market has rebounded to record levels and more Americans than ever are participating in these markets. Meanwhile, all you can do is whine about gas prices, and most of you are too damn stupid to realize that gas prices are high because there's increased demand in other parts of the world, and because a small handful of noisy idiots are more worried about polar bears and beachfront property than your economic security. We face real threats in the world. Don't give me this 'blood for oil' thing. If I were trading blood for oil I would've already seized Iraq's oil fields and let the rest of the country go to hell. And don't give me this 'Bush Lied; People Died' crap either. If I were the liar you morons take me for, I could've easily had chemical weapons planted in Iraq so they could be 'discovered.' Instead, I owned up to the fact that the intelligence was faulty. Let me remind you that the rest of the world thought Saddam had the goods, same as I did. Let me also remind you that regime change in Iraq was official US policy before I came into office. Some guy named 'Clinton' established that policy. Bet you didn't know that, did you? Now some of you morons are considering another and more evil Clinton for president !!!! Go figure that one!! She wants to take your kids away and let the 'Whole Village' raise them! i.e. governmental indoctrination ... Look this one up you dumb asses! The rest of you morons want to be led by a junior senator with no understanding of foreign policy or economics, and this nitwit says we should attack Pakistan, a nuclear ally. And then he wants to go to Iran and make peace with a terrorist who says he's going to destroy us. While he's doing that, he wants to give Iraq to al Qaeda, Afghanistan to the Taliban, Israel to the Palestinians, and your money to the IRS so the government can give welfare to illegal aliens, who he will make into citizens, so they can vote to reelect him. He also thinks it's okay for Iran to have nuclear weapons, and we should stop our foreign aid to Israel. Did you sleep through high school? You idiots need to understand that we face a unique enemy. Back during the cold war, there were two major competing political and economic models squaring off. We won that war, but we did so because fundamentally, the Communists wanted to survive, just as we do. We were simply able to out spend and out-tech them. That's not the case this time. The soldiers of our new enemy don't care if they survive. In fact, they want to die. That'd be fine, as long as they weren't also committed to taking as many of you with them as they can. But they are. They want to kill you, and the bastards are all over the globe. You should be grateful that they haven't gotten any more of us here in the United States since September 11. But you're not. That's because you've got no idea how hard a small number of intelligence, military , law enforcement, and homeland security people have worked to make sure of that. When this whole mess started, I warned you that this would be a long and difficult fight. I'm disappointed how many of you people think a long and difficult fight amounts to a single season of 'Survivor.' Instead, you've grown impatient. You're incapable of seeing things through the long lens of history, the way our enemies do. You think that wars should last a few months, a few years, tops. Making matters worse, you actively support those who help the enemy. Every time you buy the New York Times, every time you send a donation to a cut-and-run Democrat's political campaign, well, dang it, you might just as well FedEx a grenade launcher to a Jihadist. It amounts to the same thing. In this day and age, it's easy enough to find the truth. It's all over the Internet. It just isn't on the pages of the New York Times, USA Today, or on NBC News. But even if it were, I doubt you'd be any smarter. Most of you would rather watch American Idol or Dancing with Stars. I could say more about your expectations that the government will always be there to bail you out, even if you're too stupid to leave a city that's below sea level and has a hurricane approaching. I could say more about your insane belief that government, not your own wallet, is where the money comes from. But I've come to the conclusion that were I to do so, it would sail right over your heads. So I quit. I'm going back to Crawford. I've got an energy-efficient house down there (Al Gore could only dream) and the capability to be fully self-sufficient for years. No one ever heard of Crawford before I got elected, and as soon as I'm done here pretty much no one will ever hear of it again. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to die of old age before the last pillars of America fall. Oh, and by the way, Cheney's quitting too. That means Pelosi is your new President. You asked for it. Watch what she does carefully, because I still have a glimmer of hope that there are just enough of you remaining who are smart enough to turn this thing around in 2008. So that's it. God bless what's left of America. Some of you know what I mean. The rest of you, kiss off. PS - You might want to start learning Farsi, and buy a Koran.

Is this even a base for publishable material? CHAPTER ONE: PROLOGUE: There's always jumping off the balcony. Gennet rummaged around her enchanting suite, there had to be some things appropriate for a princess on sea voyage. It was more difficult when she was awaiting her execution; she imagined the blade releasing her head from it’s binding with her body. Alas, this was just a pleasant day dream to what really awaited her, marriage. Marriage, the vile and cruel punishment her father was inflicting on her for being born a female. Unlike her eldest brother Nathaniel, who she envied, for he had the right to choose, to wear pants, and loose shirts, what a girl she was. Awaiting the “fairy tale” ending every young woman dreamt of. And she was considering hurling herself of the balcony. Waiting for Roman, the man who she would soon “share” the rest of her life with, more like be owned by him for all of eternity. With a smug smile, Gennet only packed one gown, the rest were stolen clothing articles from her brothers. She would act against this marriage, and perhaps be left alone in the process. Then, since she was not an appropriate bride she would be left on a dessert island, with only essential tools where she could be alone, with her pride for the rest of her peaceful life, sure. “Princess! Princess! Oh your highness, why the heavens are you still in here? The ship will be leaving in under an hour; you must go eat hurry along” Her trusty lady Quinn, how she was always by her side leading her. Promising companionship even through marriage, she was the woman any man would be grateful for, but she had her. She had her Quinn, forever and always, she’d rather marry her then Roman. “Oh! Yeah, I think I should go.” She replied, noting Quinn’s disapproving eyes on her unclosed suitcase. “Packing – light are we malady?” Quinn said with a sarcastic smile. “Don’t you dare tell on me” her eyes shot at Quinn, and with loyalty in her eyes, Quinn smiled. The ship was grand and charming fit for a royal family. And then --- there was Roman, who was telling the captain how he should navigate the ship. Why did this man think so highly of himself? Yes, he had Jet black hair, dark gray eyes that were cold and beautiful, a very many chest, and figure. The problem was this man had absolutely no qualities. Any qualities would be nice, maybe a hunter, or painter? But he resolved all problems with – servants. He lived to be served, and in all his “glory” assumed the people who served him lived to serve. Most fiancée’s are angry when they hear the help complaining of their Fiancé. Gennet laughed, and then joined in. Such a proper lady, of course, she was always on her very best behavior. Gennet chuckled. Aware of the night’s events that lay ahead of her she was sprawled out across her cabin bed, the last time she would be alone at night. She shivered and would sleep with peace. Grimacing at the thought of Roman caressing her for his own benefits, why was life punishing her so badly. She hated gowns more than anything, more than – Roman. Although she new better then to show up in anything but tonight, this was an important dinner, and she would be appropriate, for tonight. As she walked in late, into the beautiful dining room, with a room full of people who were to be the wedding guests, she took her seat next to Roman. It was so weird, she didn’t notice until now; he looked at her with big eyes the way some one that is in love looks, his eyes were widened, and he smiled at her. When she sat next to him he took her into his arms and gave her an embracing kiss. Gennet couldn’t see the rest of her life without him but she also could not spend the rest of her life with him. This was far too painful; she did not want the married life. Why was every one trying to fool her? After the terrible last supper was over she returned to her room and painfully sat on her bed. The cabin walls seemed to be caving in on her, just one night from now she would be in a beautiful beach palace, surrendering to a man that she never wished to see again. Sadly this man was her Fiancé. Roman, oh god Roman why did he have that hair? That body! No her life was not a romance novel it was a tragedy. Why did she have to keep reminding herself? She would marry him; of course it was her duty. Although who ever proclaimed that a wife must love and fulfill their husbands needs. Gennet was going to dedicate the rest of her life to torturing her loving husband, Roman. After falling asleep thinking she was so pleased to have awoken in a bed. She assumed that the boat had landed in the night, and some one had carried her in. She smiled. In a few hours she could start her torture on the unsuspecting Roman. Within minutes people were giving her food, and starting to torture her poor body. She wanted says: Read it! nothing more than to throw on her brothers clothing and be the groom instead. How lucky he had it, throw on a tux and his naturally perfect hair would compliment. What a jerk. Twenty more minutes until fun time! She wondered if maybe quite possibly she was one of the most insane people who had ever been a princess. Probably, but who cares. They weren’t the ones who had to be married to a woman who would rather dress like him then spend two seconds in his bed. She wondered how he would take the news that she was going to be sleeping in one of the extra bedrooms in the palace. Tonight she would humor him and return to his bedroom, then she would quietly tuck away on her own side of the honey moon bed. Honey was supposed to mean sweet. Sweet revenge, no man was going to almost seduce her and get away with it. They simply would have to pay, regardless if they were getting married or not. And then the moment had arrived, she found herself in a white lacey gown, with a veil. Tropical flowers positioned around the beach. She walked down the isle to the man she awaited to torture. Then she saw them, the eyes she thought were to be cold, today they were not so gray, actually they were deep emerald sparkly green. He was watching her with the most beautiful grin. Why! Why was he so terrible? Such a good actor, she half expected him to run away and join a theatre program. The part where she actually said “I do” made her cringe. She remembered it vaguely. Her father used to say it was best women not think. No wonder, she pretty much passed by the whole wedding, supper and evening without knowledge of what was going on. She was lying on the bed, staring at the eyes who expected her to sleep with them. She also saw the disappointment as she drifted off into the most bliss slumber of her life, probably existence. Chapter Two: Why the hell did she love her husband. Roman awoke to stare into the eyes of his young bride. Yes, they had been married for two years, and he had not even had the chance to sleep with her. She only recently started sleeping in the same bed as him. She refused to dress in fancy gowns and would only wear small dresses, although he could not complain he didn’t know why she treated him this way. Perhaps she was still hostile over an arranged marriage, but why so much? He loved her more than he could ever imagine, he saw her beautiful eyes ever day of the week and never second guessed himself. He didn’t mind that she wore what she wanted it; it turned him on that she had such an expressive self-opinion. The world could use more women like Gennet, she made him feel like the luckiest man of all time, because he could be himself around her. Roman loved her to the point in which he could not see what he was doing wrong. Did the love of his life honestly believe he saw her as eye candy? She had tried to make certain that she wasn’t eye candy that was for sure. Roman was in love with the woman that it seemed he could never have, his wife. Perhaps it should hurt his ego that she was doing this to him, but he was so very blinded by love. What did he know about love the first woman that he ever loved was laying in his bed, ring on her finger, and wouldn’t even let him touch her? Gennet was the most beautiful seductive and evil creature he had ever set his eyes on. Roman was going to be a king in many years, and was also a business man, although he was a prince he was also in charge of many affairs that his country was to face. He got to spend many hours a day away from his wife. Many men saw this as a challenge. He however was glad to get away, away from the woman that seemed to have made a bet with herself to make his life miserable. Soon he and Gennet would be moving to New York City, in the beautiful Upper East Side. The house was not going to be too big, just one of the most elite in New York. He could afford just that, and maybe he would be able to soften his bride up when he got her out of the country. Every time Roman had even touched Gennet during their marriage she had threatened on many accounts to hurl herself directly off the balcony into the ocean below. Torment seemed to be her favorite subject, and indeed she loved to torture him. Roman’s eyes were glistening as his thoughts were filled with his beautiful wife. He got out of his bed and started to pack his wives clothing, all old fashioned. Then he decided to throw them out altogether, she would thank him later. Perhaps not when she had nothing to wear but she’d probably steal some of his clothing. Roman called his assistant in New York City, Elisa. “Hello Sir” she responded almost immediately, although it was still very late in the night, with the time difference. “Yes, Elisa, Size zero clothing for my wife, dresses, not grand, but wearable in public, Jeans, Shirts all designer of course. Whatever is in fashion these days in New York of course. Here, the women all wear gowns.” Elisa immediately responded. “Personal credit?” she asked. “Oh, yes of course I would also like if you bought many different types of shoes, and makeup also stalk the house with two of every technology, laptops etcetera. For my wives you may use your own sense of taste.” Roman then hung up knowing that Elisa would get on it as soon as he could. New York City, Gennet was going to flip out. They were only supposed to leave in a month and he had decided to move the date up to attend a conference. Roman was not a cruel man, and his wife was not exactly ugly. Surely they could adapt to New York culture. Although – the part which confused him was how New York didn’t actually have a culture. * * * Roman was one of the most annoying distractions that Gennet had ever experienced. One of the most annoying parts of her life, because she refused to be with him, regardless of marriage. The biggest problem in the matter was she was simply complicatedly in love with him. Gennet knew she never wanted to be a larger part of Roman’s life. The easiest part of loving him was the fact that he loved her also, which made it fun to watch him suffer. Was she such a cruel person? Of course she was. She had made a promise to herself, and she would not break it. Regardless of the two years which had passed and the up coming anniversary, thank god she would be safely out of the country, and placed in a civilized environment. New York City, she had called one of the most feared places by her old fashioned country, civilized. Well, perhaps they used the energy, and had electronics. Perhaps. Of course Gennet had frequently watched television on her laptop she had smuggled in. It was very slow internet, and a crappy model. She couldn’t wait for the escape. She assumed Roman would think she’d be mad over the shorter time period. Although, it had came as a blessing for now she could avert the crisis. She shivered; she would not celebrate the marriage again. It was just another promise to her self. The year before it had not worked, there was a huge celebration. Why did people enjoy torturing her? Although, she could not complain since she had dedicated the rest of her life to being a cold hard bitch. Gennet wondered if she would even survive the end of the year. Why was the fear of death creeping in the shadows, perhaps she felt as if half of her life was over since marriage was already forced upon her. She imagined her skin cool; Roman’s touch the only trace of heat. Her icy lips kissed one last time before she moved on into the afterlife. Perhaps she herself would be the one to end her life. How would she end it? A knife to the heart, or her wrists, maybe she would actually jump off a balcony. Or perhaps she could convince Roman to take her parachuting and purposely not pull the cord. It wasn’t that she was scared of death; she was scared she would finally snap and bring her day dreams to life. What if she didn’t have a balcony in New York? Sky Scraper, surely that would kill her. It was good to have your escapes mapped out before you enter a building. In her case, it was probably best she didn’t. Gennet was not going to be Roman’s little trophy prize any longer, she was going to take a job within New York City and be fore dependent than any man to the throne, let alone woman. This was not 1501, it was 2009. Of course she could always fake a suicide attempt that would really make Roman’s head spin. She could always go to a mental institution they would probably without question accept her. Was there something wrong with constant suicide thoughts? Roman was one of those men who was sensible, he never tried to get her to do what she didn’t want, but it didn’t matter! There was no way she would ever give into her countries demands, never. Giving into other people was a sign of weakness, and quite frankly what she did with her very little time on earth was her choice. Gennet was given the chance to live, and if she wanted to torture her husband, she would! There would be enough days in the year to hold her, every year. She would enjoy this life, regardless. Chapter Three: (unnamed) The king was dead, and Roman was sitting with Gennet in the front of the funeral. Was Gennet actually pissed off that it would take longer for her to get to New York? Honestly, what with suicide threats, and selfishness that girl was so – simply complicated. Why did she always have to make everything so dramatic? It was as if she was trying to make the whole world suffer because she was born a princess. Well, now she could have whatever she wanted, for with Nathaniel in reign he would give his sister everything that she wanted. Of course, good old Nate giving the spoiled brats what they want. Couldn’t Nate just get a puppy or something? Instead of a little sister who wanted to make Roman’s life miserable. Gennet had recently told Roman that she would be taking a job in New York City, and that he would not get to see her very much any more, as if Roman cared. Gennet was starting to get on his nerves, he didn’t care about a physical relationship, it was the way she always acted like a victim. She so clearly loved him but would not even look at him. She also had requested separate apartments in New York, and he realized now that Nathaniel, who was against their marriage in the beginning, was in rule, she could have a bloody divorce if she wanted. Why the hell did the king have to take a bloody freaking heart attack, weren’t they in a century where you could keep some one alive with enough money? Apparently, you can’t stop instant. He felt like killing every doctor in this bloody country. New York was very approaching with great speed, and he would be there within three days. He couldn’t bare to look at the casket it made his blood boil. He was relieved greatly when the whole thing was over. *** Perhaps it was inappropriate to be angry at your father for postponing your moving away. It was his fault though; he should have taken better care of his heart. On the bright side Natie had agreed to give her a separate apartment. Nate also set up an account in the family name just for Gennet. She was going to finally be her own person and that bloody annoying husband of hers could not interfere like he always did. Nathaniel was the new King. King Natie. Why was every one all grieving for her father, they didn’t even know him, he was cruel! He was the king. Oh boo hoo! She could write a news article. Dear Country, the king is DEAD; get the hell over it you morons. Wow, she was one of the bitchiest people that she knew. It didn’t even matter any more she was going to get rid of Roman. Roman, what kind of name was that. Roman… he sounded like the freaking empire. He was as stupid as the Roman Empire. At least Nate loved her, but she was wondering why Roman loved her. What was there really to love? She was a cold evil bitch, and she didn’t even care. Honestly. Finally they were in New York! She was in her beautiful apartment, and after several weeks alone working as a PA for a business man. Days flying by, and never seeing Roman—why did she care, finally she was away from that bastard. That beautiful, attractive, perfect—gah! She needed him! Why had she been for – for so long avoiding it over two freaking years, it was barbaric. She rushed over to his house in the fastest the taxi would allow. He let her in the building, and then it took off. With one leading kiss, they had a honey moon.

Laptop for business student I basically only need this laptop to perform simple tasks (MS Office, listen to music, chat, surf the internet but mainly for school work) What laptop would you recommend? Please tell me the specific brand and model. Or tell me the specifications that I should be looking at. Thanks

The Internet maynot make corporations absolute, but they will have to change their business models,do u agree?

Simply Complicated; (Working Title, this is the story I posted before for any one who wants to read more!!!) Chapter one: Prologue: There's always jumping off the balcony. Gennet rummaged around her enchanting suite, there had to be some things appropriate for a princess on sea voyage. It was more difficult when she was awaiting her execution; she imagined the blade releasing her head from it’s binding with her body. Alas, this was just a pleasant day dream to what really awaited her, marriage. Marriage, the vile and cruel punishment her father was inflicting on her for being born a female. Unlike her eldest brother Nathaniel, who she envied, for he had the right to choose, to wear pants, and loose shirts, what a girl she was. Awaiting the “fairy tale” ending every young woman dreamt of. And she was considering hurling herself of the balcony. Waiting for Roman, the man who she would soon “share” the rest of her life with, more like be owned by him for all of eternity. With a smug smile, Gennet only packed one gown, the rest were stolen clothing articles from her brothers. She would act against this marriage, and perhaps be left alone in the process. Then, since she was not an appropriate bride she would be left on a dessert island, with only essential tools where she could be alone, with her pride for the rest of her peaceful life, sure. “Princess! Princess! Oh your highness, why the heavens are you still in here? The ship will be leaving in under an hour; you must go eat hurry along” Her trusty lady Quinn, how she was always by her side leading her. Promising companionship even through marriage, she was the woman any man would be grateful for, but she had her. She had her Quinn, forever and always, she’d rather marry her then Roman. “Oh! Yeah, I think I should go.” She replied, noting Quinn’s disapproving eyes on her unclosed suitcase. “Packing – light are we malady?” Quinn said with a sarcastic smile. “Don’t you dare tell on me” her eyes shot at Quinn, and with loyalty in her eyes, Quinn smiled. The ship was grand and charming fit for a royal family. And then --- there was Roman, who was telling the captain how he should navigate the ship. Why did this man think so highly of himself? Yes, he had Jet black hair, dark gray eyes that were cold and beautiful, a very many chest, and figure. The problem was this man had absolutely no qualities. Any qualities would be nice, maybe a hunter, or painter? But he resolved all problems with – servants. He lived to be served, and in all his “glory” assumed the people who served him lived to serve. Most fiancée’s are angry when they hear the help complaining of their Fiancé. Gennet laughed, and then joined in. Such a proper lady, of course, she was always on her very best behavior. Gennet chuckled. Aware of the night’s events that lay ahead of her she was sprawled out across her cabin bed, the last time she would be alone at night. She shivered and would sleep with peace. Grimacing at the thought of Roman caressing her for his own benefits, why was life punishing her so badly. She hated gowns more than anything, more than – Roman. Although she new better then to show up in anything but tonight, this was an important dinner, and she would be appropriate, for tonight. As she walked in late, into the beautiful dining room, with a room full of people who were to be the wedding guests, she took her seat next to Roman. It was so weird, she didn’t notice until now; he looked at her with big eyes the way some one that is in love looks, his eyes were widened, and he smiled at her. When she sat next to him he took her into his arms and gave her an embracing kiss. Gennet couldn’t see the rest of her life without him but she also could not spend the rest of her life with him. This was far too painful; she did not want the married life. Why was every one trying to fool her? After the terrible last supper was over she returned to her room and painfully sat on her bed. The cabin walls seemed to be caving in on her, just one night from now she would be in a beautiful beach palace, surrendering to a man that she never wished to see again. Sadly this man was her Fiancé. Roman, oh god Roman why did he have that hair? That body! No her life was not a romance novel it was a tragedy. Why did she have to keep reminding herself? She would marry him; of course it was her duty. Although who ever proclaimed that a wife must love and fulfill their husbands needs. Gennet was going to dedicate the rest of her life to torturing her loving husband, Roman. After falling asleep thinking she was so pleased to have awoken in a bed. She assumed that the boat had landed in the night, and some one had carried her in. She smiled. In a few hours she could start her torture on the unsuspecting Roman. Within minutes people were giving her food, and starting to torture her poor body. She wanted nothing more than to throw on her brothers clothing and be the groom instead. How lucky he had it, throw on a tux and his naturally perfect hair would compliment. What a jerk. Twenty more minutes until fun time! She wondered if maybe quite possibly she was one of the most insane people who had ever been a princess. Probably, but who cares. They weren’t the ones who had to be married to a woman who would rather dress like him then spend two seconds in his bed.

Any genuine Internet Marketing guru who would be interested to work with a well informed learner? Knowing already quite a bit about the main fields and areas when making money through the internet marketing and seo but unfortunately lacking the final realisation in my real making money on the internet, perhaps you as an experienced internet marketing expert and I as an excellent people man with significant contacts (e.g property investors and finders, etc) as well as a super extrovert and sociable guy interested in starting up a sort of business linked with the photo-modeling field and female beauty industry could find some things in common and decide to start a successful online business together. Please, share with me your thoughts and ideas. Many Thanks and God Bless!!!

Why didn't Palin mention her nude photos or her extramarital affair with her husband's business partner? The nude photo(s) that Sarah Palin posed for in her modeling days have been widely circulating on the internet since yesterday. They are the typical "look at me, I'm sexy" type photos but not especially pornographic. Just naked pictures but not anything horrible. I don't think FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON that these photos are especially shocking however, this is the Republican nominee for Vice-President. Did Sarah Palin inform McCain of the existence of these photos in the vetting process? And now that beacon of journalistic integrity so hailed by Republicans when it exposed Democrat John Edwards' extramarital affair has now produced evidence of Sarah Palin's own extramarital affair with her husband's business partner. The National Enquirer is standing by their evidence and their story and will publish it all before the election in spite of McCain's threat to sue them. 1. McCain has no "legal standing" to sue the Enquirer on SOMEONE ELSE'S BEHALF. Only the alleged injured party has a legal right to sue on their own behalf. 2. A lawsuit would make an ENORMOUS scandal even bigger. 3. Politicians really can't get damages for "defamation" and that's a well-founded legal principle in this country. There may be some case made on behalf of the other party (the business partner) in the alleged affair since they are not a public figure. Oh, I do so hope McCain tries to sue the Enquirer. This election is becoming so much fun as more and more scandals fall out of Palin's closet. Why did the vetting team think this was all okay? Or was Palin not entirely open and honest with them? More info on the nude photos here: http://hottiesinthenews.blogspot.com/2008/08/sarah-palin-hot-pics-you-cant-afford-to.html More info on the extramarital affair here: http://www.gambling911.com/politics/national-enquirer-prints-story-sarah-palin-had-affair-090308.html http://www.mediatakeout.com/2008/26379-more_scandals_from_gov_palin_caught_cheating_on_her_husband_with_one_of_his_friends_.html In doing a little internet digging, it seems the documentation and photos and such may be sourced to Trooper Wooten, the ex-brother-in-law who is now revealing all of Palin's dirty laundry after she tried to have him fired from his job. He said - she said only goes so far. But, a picture is a picture is a picture. The naked pictures do exist. And it remains to be seen if the evidence of the extramarital affair can be documented by independent sources. The Enquirer is glorying in the spotlight, promising more and more scandals to be brought forth on Palin. I'm only surprised Larry Flynt didn't get there first.

Is the internet killing our music? ? Whilst the Internet looked for a while like it might be of some use for musicians, I think that P2P and piracy in general have completely negated any potential benefits it may once have promised. In short I believe that the Internet is the worst thing in history ever to happen to music, and it has quickly evolved into a cunning tool for simply exploiting and abusing musicians. I have a new business model - get out, and quickly! Who agrees with this statement?

What state to open LLC in? I'm looking at starting a small internet-based publishing company with 4-5 partners all located in different states. (Unrelated, possibly: partnership interest will be based on initial capital contribution.) The basic business model is that the company takes 20% of net sales and pays the contributors the other 80% as royalties. The company will actually outsource the printing, distribution and sales; in essence, it acts as the broker and a legal entity for the contributors (some of whom are the partners) but does not have a physical presence anywhere. So what would be the best option in terms of how to set up the LLC? I'm assuming that choosing a "tax haven" state like Deleware, Nevada, or Wyoming would be good, and we'll likely need a registered agent anyway, since there's no physical business location to receive mailings, etc. Am I missing an important point here? Additional question: the business checking account -- should it be opened in the same state, or does it not matter?

What is the business model for internet polling sites? I'm sure it's advertising (like anything on the net) but is there anything else? Aslo what are some good community poll websites as examples?

Do i remain as a Sole Trader or change to Ltd Company or Limited Partnership (LLP)? Please can you help… At the moment I am a sole trader. I sell a few information products online (Ebooks, etc). My profits for last year was £7000. I am upping the game a bit now & rolling out a load more products. What I also want to do is release these through a different business name called something like ‘XYZ Publishing.’ I won’t be doing any printing, etc. It will only be a ‘publishing business’ by name on the internet purely because ethere’s where people go to buy books. Our business model has estimated my annual profits to rise to £30,000 for 2009 followed by £150,000 in 2010. I have a couple of questions & I apologise for being greedy & asking more than 1 question at once. My first question is, ‘Should I remain as a Sole Trader, form a Ltd Company (with 100% shares allocated to me) or set up with my Wife as a LLP (Ltd Liability Partnership)? Although as a Sole Trader I understand that I will have certain tax advantages but some of my info products are contentious and I would like the ‘limited liability’ protection to protect my house & family if someone decided to sue me (instead they would have to sue the company). But then I understand that the I will have to pay tax at a higher rate (corporation tax) as a Ltd Company. I have also heard recently that if I set up as a Ltd Partnership (LLP) with my Wife, then LLP’s have the limited liability protection but don’t have to pay the Corporation Tax (effectively you get taxed less). The flip-side that makes me think that a Ltd Company may be the best option is that I’ve been told that as a Ltd Company I will be able to reclaim all costs relating to ‘entertaining clients’ and even ‘business trips’ to countries abroad (e.g.- airfare to Egypt when I research a product that I’m looking at developing over there). My second question is…….’Whilst my Sales are below the threshold’ is it worthwhile me becoming VAT registered?’ Why I ask this is because I will be able to claim back VAT on mileage, also many of my products are business related so corporations will be able to claim the VAT back on their purchases form me. Are there any other advantages or disadvantages (tax or otherwise) in voluntarily becoming VAT registered? Thanks for any help. I will be seeking independent financial advice but would like a heads-up prior to my accountant’s appointment. Thanks.

Internet Problem; AIM and Limewire work, but browsers can't load webpages? Here's the situation: Inexplicably, this problem with my network/Internet is occurred. I will be minding my own business browsing the internet, when my web pages won't load anymore. I look at AIM and I'm still connected. Same goes for Limewire. Ok so I close Mozilla Firefox and try to open it again, but an error message comes up saying I must close the existing process or restart my computer. I attempt to close the process, but it won't close. SO i move onto Opera, and see I can browse perfectly. 10 Minutes later, Opera freezes (program and process). Once again I can't close the process. Internet explorer acts like Mozilla if I attempt to use it. Yet this whole time, I am still connected to iTunes Store, Limewire, and AIM. WHY?????? I have tried literally every trick in the book. My anti-virus (avast!), firewall (zonealarm), and anti-spyware (ad-aware) don't pick up anything! On top of that, I use CCleaner, which didn't solve my problem. I've called Verizon Support TWICE! Both times help for about a few hours, and then the problem came back. I cannot system restore since I turned it off when I had a virus last year. I already used disk cleanup, disk defragmenter. I've power cycled my modem and router. I googled everything about my problem and nothing helped. I even used some command prompt stuff. Basically, in attempting and failing to solve my problem, I've learned about so many ways to fix my computer for other things xD! What can I do???? I'm considering a fresh install, wiping my hard drive etc. That seems to be the only solution as of now. I can back up stuff I need on dvd disks and I have a list of programs I will want back on paper. HELLPPPP!! OS: WIndows Vista Home Premium 32 bit SP1 ISP: Verizon DSL 100 Mbps Modem: Westell Model 6100 in Bridge Mode Router: Netgear MR814v2 @ JoelKatz: I've tried that so no luck. But I did encounter a website that said to completely uninstall zonealarm because that could be the source of my problems. I did so we'll see. @ the kid who said try linux: its the family computer, not my personal one. so i can't plus i wouldn't considering windows is more compatible with many programs.
