The internet has fuelled many new industries, one of which is the online forex trading industry (forex = forex exchange i.e. currencies). Once the domain of institutional traders, the internet has opened up forex trading to many public retail traders. Because of the structure and potential rewards of trading successfully, it has attracted quite a few scammers and spammers. Forex trading has been labelled as gambling - and it is (it is only detrimental to your finances if you don't act like a professional gambler by controlling the risks taken), and it has also been classified by some as a get rich quick scheme (which depends on your perspective - if you are trying to get rich from forex trading quickly then it is).

The forex trading spammers merely do the underhanded marketing technique of spamming multiple email boxes for the forex scammers. Watch out for programs and teaching packages which promise extraordinary returns. Remember: "He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches." If they can make 1000% each week, why are they sharing the trading strategy? if I can make that much money, do you think I'll I'd be sitting in front of a computer sharing the information through the kindness of my heart? I'd be in the Bahamas relaxing on a beach. Another consequence of sharing information like effective trading strategies may have a detrimental effect to the overall strategy.

Celebrities are mostly idiots. Celebrity news is written mostly of idiots. Celebrity news programs are mostly watched by idiots. This idiocy has a cycle. Without the celebrities, there would be no celebrity writers. Without the celebrity writers, there are no shows on celebrity news. Without the shows, that leaves no one to care. Without people caring (viewers), however, the show gets cancelled; the writers are out of a job and without the masses caring, that leaves no celebrity. All that leaves is an empty shell.

Therefore, in order to stay even slightly relevant (or not completely doomed to obscurity), Britney Spears has to neglect her kids, Amy Winehouse has to keep smoking crack and getting arrested, and Paris Hilton needs to have a new boyfriend every six weeks. When Mary Lou’s pension is disappearing, and her 401K is being swindled by Wall Street crooks and tycoons, what else is going to dull her pain? A crossword puzzle? Too cerebral. Let’s watch Lindsay Lohan drive into

By far one of the funniest sitcoms to grace television in the last decade, Lucky Louie was an unfairly short-lived sitcom on HBO, lasting only one season in 2006. It starred comedian (and source for all of Dane Cook’s jokes) Louis C.K. as a father raising a child in Boston with his wife. He works in a muffler shop part time, while his wife Kim (Pamela Adlon), a registered nurse, is the main breadwinner in the family. Together they raise their precocious 4-year-old daughter, Lucy (Kelly Gould).

However, this isn’t the Cosby Show. The subject matter on Lucky Louie deals with serious, adult-related themes such as sex, and the language used in its dialogue is nothing short of raunchy. I don’t fully believe that raunchy humor is funny, but the context in which this show used it, it was realistic, and not used mainly for shock value or cheap laughs. Louie’s two best friends, Mike (Michael G. Hagerty) and Rich (played hilariously by shock comic, Jim Norton), provided the show with some of its most comical moments, like when Rich pretends to be mentally retarded to get a free slice of pizza. The tension of Louie’s homelife, namely the sexual frustration he endures with his wife and the frustration of raising a young kid who acts up with his daughter, also provided the show with comedic brilliance.

Many Australian uni students like to associate themselves with the stereotype of a struggling student living on a small amount of cash. But Ross Gittins, the Sydney Morning Herald economics columnist doesn't buy into it. There isn't such a thing as a poor uni student. He says that these "self-pitying university students" are "middle-class kids pretending to be poor and deserving, whereas they're actually setting themselves up for a life of well-above-average earnings. The few years of their life they spend having to scrimp and save won't do them any harm. It might teach them to have some concern for the genuinely needy." He also notes that "on average, the lifetime earnings of graduates are about 70 per cent greater than for those who went only to year 12." But all in all, he concludes that most under 25's live at home anyway, plus some would get Youth Allowance from the government and more than 60 percent have some form of work to subsidise whatever expenses they have...

Gittins goes on to talk about HECS repayments by uni students - which affects all graduates after they leave uni and start earning a REAL income (HECS is the Australian system of deferring university/college fees, where accumulated fees have no interest but is indexed to inflation).

No, this is not a profile about Ted Nugent! This is also not a tribute to the late 70s De Niro masterpiece (that I still have not seen all of yet). This is about a band called Deerhunter from Atlanta that formed in 2001, by vocalist/guitarist Bradford Cox, and keyboardist/drummer, Moses Archuleta and they describe themselves as "ambient punk." They mix a variety of sounds, such as ambient, art-rock, noise and post-punk.

For a few years, they honed their sound, and went through several band members (including their original bass player, Justin Bosworth, who died tragically in 2004) before releasing their first album, Turn It Up Faggot!, in the summer of 2005. The band garnered critical acclaim with their 2007 release, Crytograms, a potent mix of reverberated guitars, tape loops, and solid songwriting. In the autumn of 2007, longtime guitarist Colin Mee exited the band after he felt the band was becoming too exposed, and was replaced by Whitney Petty. Bassist Josh Fauver, and guitarist Lockett Pundt round out the band’s current line-up.

Gentlemen, are you thinking of straying from your lover with some chick you met at a bar one lonely, drunken night? Is she ready to score after a few Bud Lites, and a slow dance to “Love Bites?” (Hey! That rhymes!) Life’s too short, my friends! Go for it! Rent out a room in a seedy motel right off the Interstate, and get it on!

However, you have to be careful. Make sure your car is heavily insured, especially against acts of vandalism or destruction. Also, make sure your girlfriend back at home didn’t get too inspired after hearing Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats.” That could be trouble. If that is the case, however, car insurance is your best bet. It won’t cost you a dime, and perhaps a sympathetic insurance agent wouldn’t hurt either. If your one-night tryst results in a trip to the auto mechanic for some serious surgery, you’re gonna need all the help you can get, brother!

Or, better yet, you could just keep it in your pants, tell the floozy at the bar to back off, and try to work your problems out.

Yet another Youtube video you've gotta watch. This one reveals the art of efficient brick stacking on one's head. The man who is on a boat (I think he's Indian) stacks twenty (20) bricks on his head, drops one in the process. Once he finishes stacking bricks he steps up and walks across a plank. Simply an amazing example of human ingenuity.
