Reflections on 48 Hours of Inviting Readers to Comment ‘Spam’ My Blog

OK - so I didn’t ask people to comment ’spam’ my blog - I asked them to ‘pitch’ us with their blog. Here’s what I learned from the experience…. On the spur of the moment over the weekend I decided to run a little experiment here on ProBlogger where I invited readers to leave a comment giving an ‘elevator pitch’ for their blog .

The Goal of Pi

There is a TV show called Cheaters, have you ever heard of it? It is a reality show based in Dallas in which jilted lovers hire a private investigation agency to investigate whether their partner or so-called soul mate is being unfaithful. But do private investigators deal just with wandering lovers? What other jobs does a private eye, inquire about? I will attempt to explain the job and the role of a private detective.
The point of their work is to uncover the truth. If he is to execute his task competently, a private detective must maintain impartiality. Mostly, it is ironic that clients of private detectives do not want the truth, they just want to gain ground. This attitude is alike to the aggressive attitude that some of the clients have in the reality TV show Cheaters. The line of work of a private detective and his agency is to reveal the facts and aid their client.

Missing Money Site Making The News

Looks like a winner! I found that AT&T owes me an amount UNDER $100. Hell, money is money, so I sent out the claim form. Hope it doesn't cost more to mail the form than what I'm getting back. Worth a shot, though.

To find your missing money there are four agencies to search at:. National Database of Unclaimed Property and links to States; Failed Banks with the FDIC; Lost Savings Bonds from Treasury Department; Lost Pension Plans from PBGC ...
Missing Money.com - AMAZING!!!
Earlier today I found a blog linking to www.missingmoney.com, and I clicked the link out of boredom. It’sa website that allows you to search through the “lost money” files of most US states. If a state is holding money for an individual ...
Does someone owe you money? Are you sure? Missingmoney.com is a website dedicated to reuniting rightful owners with their missing money, which in most cases, the rightful owner was unaware of the missing money's existence. Missingmoney.com launched in 1999 as a way to unite states' missing money databases into one searchable database, which makes it much easier for mobile Americans to search for their name and bring up any possible matches in most states. At present time, however, not all states participate in the missingmoney.com database. Those states, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, New York, Oregon and Wyoming, can be contacted directly for inquiries.

I Am Losing Weight This Summer
June 25, 2008 by IM Buzzter
Filed under Trends
Many people see the use of weight loss patches as a move forward in the fight to control weight issues seen in the population but the Federal Trade Commission in the United States has warned the public not to be misled by exaggerated claims. The basis of the patch is to slowly release appetite suppressants into your blood stream along with other chemicals that will aid the removal of fat.
It is said to be more effective than a diet pill because it goes directly to your body without passing through the stomach, which can remove important nutrients found in other weight loss regimes. The method used is called transdermal transfer and is used in other ways to introduce drugs slowly into the system and in this instance, chemicals to help easy the desire to eat and others to help increase the metabolic rate.

He Can Remember Anything That Ever Happened To Him

Now, isn't that frightening. Would you want to remember everything that ever happened to you day by day. There's some things you just want to forget.
LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (CNN) -- Give Brad Williams a date, and he can usually tell you not only what he was doing but what world events happened that day. He can do this for almost every day of his life.
Brad Williams has hyperthymestic syndrome, experts say, and remembers what he did on allmost every day of his life.
Williams is one of only three people in the world identified with this off-the-charts autobiographical memory, according to researchers at the University of California-Irvine who gave the condition its name: hyperthymestic syndrome, from the Greek words for excessive (hyper) and remembering (thymesis).
Unlike most people whose memories fade with time, much of Williams' life is etched indelibly in his mind.
"It's just there," said Williams, 51, who reports the news for a family of radio stations in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
The California researchers are studying Williams and the two others with hyperthymestic syndrome, a man in Ohio and woman in California, hoping to gain new insights into how a superior memory works.
