Drunk Blogger Believes in Distance Learning

I like a good distance learning college. There is this one college that is accredited and was founded in 1993....what is it? Oh yeah, it's Capella University. It's really cool. It's an online university and it offers graduate degree programs in business, information technology, education, human services, and psychology. Also, it offers bachelor’s degree programs in both business and information technology.They also have 76 graduate and undergraduate specializations. That's not to mention 16 certificate specializations. They have 16,000 students and they are all from all 50 states and 63 countries.Man, it's really cool. They are even a national leader in online education. They are always committed and they provide awesome, high-level academic excellence while enjoying balanced growth. They are even accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.

Trading and stuff, not baseball cards

I like options trading. Guess what ya'll? You do not, I repeat, DO NOT have to rely only on dividend paying stocks to make dividend like income in your portfolio anymore! You can purchase shares of high dividend paying companies. It is a great way to increase profits. You really could make an extra 5%, 10% or more over a one year time period. There really are several large companies out there that seem to never pay dividends. Some very loyal and cool shareholders stick with these stocks while the companies sit on billions of dollars in cash. Messed up. They should pay some dividends to compensate the faithful man. Really though, some companies never pay dividends. These people use profits to fund acquisitions, aggressive research programs, or as rainy day reserves. It's amazing how much money people leave on the table. Hundreds of shares of stock, maybe even thousands. It just sits in investors' portfolios and those shares could be putting stacks of cash in their owners' pockets. It's easier now though. Here's how it works... Publicly traded options are offered by most companies. These really cool transactions work with your broker. It's similar to buying and selling stocks. You can collect a premium just by selling the call and you get the premium in cash money and on the day you sell the option. It's just like a dividend. One way is to sell "at-the-money" or "out-of-the-money" calls on your stocks (Covered Calls). This means the strike or expiration price of the option is actually at or above the current stock price. But, you can set the strike price so high the stock doesn't reach that price. Then....you can keep your stock. Heavily-traded stocks like Microsoft (MSFT), Google (GOOG), and Ebay (EBAY) that are held a lot are perfect for this. Option premiums can fluctuate but the examples below show returns you might expect over the period shown for every thousand shares of your stock! Each month, up to 12 times a year, you can sell options, after they expire. It really is not a crazy idea to see return rates of 12% over 60 days. That works out to an astounding 72% annual return just on stocks you already have in your portfolio. Brokerage commissions and taxes will affect your actual returns though. Check PowerOptions, they provide the essential data you need to invest with stock options. I hear it's the best way to Find, Compare, Analyze, and Make Money On Stock Option Trading.

Los Angeles Plastic Surgery!

The thing about life is, los angeles plastic surgeon. Rodeo Drive, it's known for trends, fashion and facelifts. It's true. When you mention Los Angeles, people think plastic surgery,” says Lloyd Krieger, M.D., founder and medical director of the new center. “It just makes sense to finally open a center on the city’s most famous street.” Good point. Paris Hilton agrees, but who doesn't know that already. From the center, you can view Hugo Boss and Chanel, among other boutiques. Every single suite is a different soft shade of sherbet, such as lime, banana and peach, with overhead lighting. Unbelievawesome! Guess what else? Expansive windows and bamboo flooring! Decoration, Beverly Hills style! Hey-yo! Yoz, they even have Andy Warhol paintings. Yeah, I said yoz. Oh yeah, and did I mention they have the must up to date plastic surgery equipment too? Phewww! Plastic surgery is becoming more commonplace because of TV shows and stuff. In Beverly Hills at least. Probably not in Idaho. Because of this, consumers have begun to shop for plastic surgery in a whole new way (most likely not in Idaho). “Today patients don’t have to go to institutional-style surgical centers inside big box medical facilities,” adds Dr. Krieger. “At Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery, patients receive world-class service at competitive prices in an environment that befits plastic surgery’s growing mass appeal.” They want to provide great, careful, reasonably priced surgery. It's possible. The staff there works to provide the absolute best possible surgical outcomes in a setting that embodies the standards and lifestyle you seek. And we are talking, before, during and after surgery mayne. Dr. Lloyd Krieger, who founded this place, believes that many plastic surgery practices fail to treat patients as informed customers who have options in their choice of surgeons and facilities. Good point. I called another plastic surgery place one time and they hung up on me. They they called my parents and hung up on them too! People often are subjected to "institutional" treatment. Not cool bro. Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery delivers cutting edge techniques, yet always puts your needs and desires first. Guess what they provide? Oh...only: Tummy Tuck or Abdominoplasty: They have a unique approach that includes the "Rodeo Drive Belly Button" and the "Rodeo Drive Mommy Makeover." It's been highlighted in many media outlets including KTLA Morning News, Univision, The Wall Street Journal, and Los Angeles Magazine. Their "Rodeo Drive Belly Button" was named the #1 new trend in US plastic surgery by Grazia, Britain’s most popular glossy magazine. Cool. Liposuction: They have developed a "center within a center." It focuses solely on providing expert liposuction. They have art equipment, specialized staff training, and advanced technology to create the best possible liposuction results and customized recovery programs. Breast Augmentation: They provide breast enhancement with both saline and silicone breast implants. We also provide specialist breast implant revision, for people who have had previous breast augmentation surgery. Facelift: Facial rejuvenation stresses very natural results, with not much downtime following the procedure. Eyelid Surgery or Blepharoplasty: Eyelid lift procedures can dramatically enhance facial appearance. Nose Reshaping or Rhinoplasty: By improving the shape of the nose, their plastic surgeons help patients achieve the facial appearance they have been looking for. Their plastic surgeons are experts in both primary and revision nose plastic surgery! Plastic Surgery for Men: Their plastic surgeons understand the unique anatomic and other plastic surgery requirements of men. This is one of our specialties at Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery, and our work doing cosmetic surgery for men has been featured on the KTLA Morning News and in the Los Angeles Daily News. Rodeo Drive Chin Rejuvenation: A very little invasive procedure can provide impressive results to both women and men unhappy with fullness in the neck or a "double chin." Botox ® Cosmetic, Restylane, Sculptra, Laser: The expert cosmetic dermatologists can achieve dramatic results with these non-surgical facial rejuvenation techniques. Improve skin tone, reduce or erase wrinkles, and overall facial appearance improved...and this is all without surgery.

Check it, Simmons, Jannace & Stagg

simmons jannace & stagg ....quite possibly, awesome. If you don't know much about these guys, I feel bad for ya. After 9/11, the September 11th Victims Compensation Fund was created for those who lost loved ones in the attack. This reserved Fund is a system with no faults and it was designed to maximize the compensation to the victim's families. There were contingent fees by attorneys that represented the families that were not favored.. Because of this, Simmons, Jannace & Stagg was asked by a widow of a man who died in the attacks to represent her in connection with a lawsuit filed in federal court by the attorney who represented her before the Victims Compensation Fund. This attorney sought $2,000,000 and he filed suit in federal court seeking a declaratory judgment that entitles him to his fee. S, J & S moved to dismiss the federal action. They also argued that there was no reported case that upheld the jurisdiction under the Fund. Where the issue concerned a private dispute between an attorney and his former client concerning the amount of a legal fee. Simmons, Jannace & Stagg showed that there was no reported case upholdings, like an exorbitant fee for representation before the Victims Compensation Fund. Finally, it was argued that the federal court should not, not, because the state Surrogate’s Court had already begun an inquiry into the size of the attorney’s fee. After hearing argument, they issued an order. Then they agreed that the Victims Compensation Fund didn't provide federal court jurisdiction. What? The court also agreed with the argument that it should not excercise its jurisdiction. The court kept the attorney’s action. He retained jurisdiction for the purpose of any of the renewed applications after the conclusion of the case.

Check out the Rip-Off Report

Check out the Rip-Off Report. It will change your life. It's a worldwide consumer reporting Website & Publication. Its created by consumers, for consumers, and they file & document complaints about companies or individuals who ripoff consumers. The bad news is though, that the good intentions of this website has actually lead to controversy and extortion. Oh no! The Rip Off Report doesn’t check to make sure consumer complaints are legitamite, which is not a good idea. Also, there have been numerous allegations of The RipOff Report creating fake complaints about companies for the purpose of extortion, another bad idea and illegal. Uh oh. Ed Magedson is the owner ROF. A lot of companies seem to be looking for him and want to sue him for posting fake info. The website uses a ranking power to rank for companies names and they use those rankings to extort money. There has already been a push to push the Rip Off Report ranking back into Google and then remove it from the top rankings that are unfairly hurting companies. There is even a service that can be primarily used for general Search Engine Optimization clients. You don’t have to pay them to protect your name and brand, you can get help.
