Computers and Software : What to Do if You Fall in Love With More Than One Screensaver
on 2009/1/4 13:00:00 (35 reads)
Computers and Software

What to Do if You Fall in Love With More Than One Screensaver - Reriani Communications (SkyNewswire.com)---If you don't know where one screensaver goes when you install another one then this article is for you. Learn about the standard way of switching between installed screensavers and get prepared to a much more convenient one.

It was a great surprise for me to get dozens of emails complaining about what I myself would have never thought of. Many people installed my Rainy Screensaver ( http://www.elasticsystems.com/rainy/ ) and found it quite entertaining. But then they got upset because their previous screensaver was very fun too and now it wouldn't come up anymore.

What has happened to their old screensaver after the installation of another one? Today we will deal with this question.

Probably, many of you will find this information rather obvious. I am really sorry for not being very helpful to this part of my readers this time. But I receive too many emails of described nature. This leaves me with the hope that some people will learn something new in their quests for becoming Screensaver Gurus.

Religious and Spirituality : Prophecy 2009 – What is Ahead for America
on 2009/1/3 10:00:00 (90 reads)
Religious and Spirituality

AmericanProphet.org - Reriani Communications (SkyNewswire.com)--- This article was birthed December 16, 2008 the day after the Electoral College cast their votes making Barack Obama the 44th President of the United States. I felt compelled and duty bound to say these things to anyone who has ears to hear. I have no doubt not many will listen but I also know that as each year passes I will gain hearers exponentially.

Although Obama isn’t the only key figure to watch, his presidency will set the stage for hundreds of events that will shake America. A shaking I generally predict will be the worst period in our entire history as a nation. He managed to skip over the eligibility question and has entered his administration with a dark cloud of doubt hanging over it and its constitutionality. At this moment not many people care about that.

Business, Money & Finance : Sugar Daddies & Babies See Gains, Whilst Economy Plummets
on 2008/12/31 13:30:00 (87 reads)
Business, Money & Finance

SeekingArrangement.com - SkyNewswire.com (ReriSkyNewswire.com)--- Sugar daddies – men with enough disposable income to pamper a ‘sugar baby’ with, are seeing their pool of potential dates rise, as the economy continues to suffer – according to Brandon Wade, founder of SeekingArrangement.com, a dating website that brings sugar daddies and sugar babies together in ‘mutually beneficial relationships’. Yet these new age, seemingly economy-proof relationships have gotten a lot of heat lately, and some worry that love is being tossed out of the modern dating equation… Welcome ‘sugar daddy dating’.

According to Wade, today’s economic crisis has given way to the ‘modern sugar daddy ’, who’s not like the outdated stereotypes of yesteryear... “A truck driver can be a sugar daddy, as long as he has enough disposable income at the end of the month to spoil his sugar baby with” says Wade. SeekingArrangement.com claims that since the economy nose-dived in September 08, they’ve seen the rate of new memberships rise significantly.
Sugar Daddy Online Dating
“It’s a mix between an Eharmony love connection and a craigslist booty-call” -sugar baby.

Sugar Daddy Sites

In the last few years, an abundance of dating websites catering to sugar daddy/sugar baby relationships have sprung up on fertile soil of a weak economy, and more and more college-age ‘babes’ are warming up to the idea of having a wealthy, often much older benefactor support them.

The word-of-mouth advertisement has been the biggest boon for business, according to a SeekingArrangement.com official, “when men see that this site really works for them, and that they receive 10 X the response on a SeekingArrangement.com as they would on a normal dating site, they tend to tell their pals, and then they subsequently join”.

A Sugar Daddy Dating Book?

A soon to be released book penned as “The Definitive Guide to Sugar Daddy and Mutually Beneficial Relationships" is set for launch in early 2009, the title? You guessed it, “Seeking Arrangement”.

Politics & World Affairs :  Atheists in Washington State Provide a True Meaning of Christmas Story
on 2008/12/24 12:30:00 (111 reads)
Politics & World Affairs

AmericanProphet.org - SkyNewswire.com (SkyNewswire.com)--- The anti-religious placard placed in the State Capital in Washington State along side a Christmas tree and a manger scene have inadvertently served to point out the true meaning of Christmas. How is that so?

The Freedom from Religion Foundation based in Madison Wisconsin placed a placard next to the manger scene in the Washington State Capital in early December 2008 that has a clearly anti-Christian message. In part it says “There is only our natural world. Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds.”

Each year America is inundated with “true meaning of Christmas” specials on the television and in films and books. As the commercial aspect of Christmas swells each year like a behemoth on growth hormones these specials mean less and less year by year.

Relationships : Sugar Daddy & Sugar Baby – The Post-Recession Match Made in Heaven?
on 2008/12/24 4:51:19 (128 reads)
Relationships

SeekingArrangement.com - SkyNewswire.com (SkyNewswire.com)--- A woman who pursues relationships with men based solely on their wealth has long been considered a ‘gold-digger’, and to this day, that connotation is not a good one. Yet since the worsening economy has put millions around the world out of work, women are now weighing a potential mates financial well being even higher on the list of desired qualities, and some are seeking sugar daddies with expectations as blunt as a “monthly allowance”. But what’s the difference between a ‘sugar baby’ and a money grubbing ‘gold digger’?

Today’s emerging ‘sugar baby’ is a self-empowered, self-actualized, confident go-getter, and when it comes to surviving the financial crisis, she chooses to be upfront about her needs with a potential mate. Unlike the greed-driven gold digger, a sugar baby is ways to marry her need for financial stability with her desire for being around successful, accomplished men.

Religious and Spirituality : The Call to the Torah, Now Heeded Online
on 2008/12/23 18:00:00 (94 reads)
Religious and Spirituality

Convert to Judaism - SkyNewswire.com (SkyNewswire.com)--- JUDAISM is more than 5,000 years old. The Internet has been around for a tiny fraction of that time. But a rabbi with a specialized Web site has brought ancient tradition and modern technology together, providing conversions to Judaism in a process that is largely accomplished online.

The rabbi, Celso Cukierkorn, offers an online conversion course to anyone who wants to become Jewish. A PC and a Web connection bring the rabbi and converts from as far away as Australia and New Zealand together for online study and even the final exam.

Rabbi Cukierkorn (he pronounces it COOK-your-corn) is a convert himself, of sorts, to computer technology. He grew up in Săo Paulo, Brazil, and recalled that students learned to use computers at his high school. But the equipment was boxy mainframe technology, probably from the 1960's, he guessed, and he did not pursue computer training beyond high school.

Politics & World Affairs : Obama Eligibility Question - Nonsense or a Possible Reprieve?
on 2008/12/22 13:00:00 (117 reads)
Politics & World Affairs

AmericanProphet.org - Prudent Press Agency (Prudent Press Agency)--- Anyone in this country who mentions the legal suits now being brought before state and federal courts about Barack Obama’s citizenship question is seen as a fluke. The most common retort is “the American people have spoken” but have they?

In fact the sixty seven million people who voted for Barack Obama make up only twenty two percent of the entire population of this country. Regardless of how they voted seventy eight percent of the country remains largely in the dark due to a mainstream media blackout on the subject that could just be the calm before the storm.

The real issue the Obama eligibility question raises isn’t about what the American people said, but it is about what was said to the American people.

In short they were told even if only by omission (un-vetted qualifications) that Barack Obama was perfectly eligible to be a candidate in accordance with the Constitution. In fact with or without the much disputed birth certificate, he is not.

Bob MacDonaldMacDonald, writing in his popular blog, notes that America is in the midst of a financial and business crisis, the likes of which we have never seen before. "Entire industries are teetering on the verge of collapse. Great icons of American business - General Motors, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Hartford, Citicorp, AIG and many others - have either drowned in this convulsive financial sea or appear ready to go down for the third time. Almost every day a new story of individual fraud and greed emerges of which the likes of Blagojevich, Petters and Madoff are just the most recent poster boys," he said.

Religious and Spirituality : Welcome, immigrants to Judaism

Religious and Spirituality

Convert to Judaism - Prudent Press Agency (Prudent Press Agency)--- What do the divisive debates between Americans over immigration policy and within the Jewish world over conversion have in common? As a rabbi who recently became an American, and who is actively involved in counseling potential converts to Judaism, I have noticed that these seemingly disconnected controversies raise similar questions.

If there are jobs that go wanting, should we open the door wider to those who want to fill those jobs? If the family is already established here with children born, should the journey to citizenship involve fewer toll booths?

If intermarriage, low birthrates and secularization yield fewer Jews, should we make it easier for others to adopt our religion? If the husband is a Jew by birth should the wife's conversion to Judaism be simplified?

Tourism, Transportation & Travel

Managing Allergies During Holiday Travel - Prudent Press Agency (SkyNewswire.com)--- Roswell, GA -- This month, millions of people -- including some of the nation's 50 million allergy-sufferers -- will hit the road for their holiday vacations. As if traveling during the busy season isn't stressful enough, allergy-sufferers may experience added tension from having to manage their conditions on the go and when staying in unfamiliar settings.

Steven Hong, president of Sylvane, an online supplier of solutions for a healthy, allergen-free environment, knows this stress all too well. "When I'm going on a trip, whether it's during the holidays or any other time of year, I have to remember to prepare for unexpected allergy triggers wherever I go," he said. Hong suffers from a variety of indoor and outdoor allergies, including dust mite, tree pollen, grass, and ragweed allergies. "Aggravated symptoms can make any vacation very unpleasant. Therefore, it's important to prepare ahead of time to help cut your risk of an allergy attack." To help others like him keep allergies under control during travel, Hong offers these 7 tips for preparation and relief.

Ethnic & Minority : Rabbi at new synagogue speaks of converts to Judaism

Ethnic & Minority

Convert to Judaism - SkyNewswire.com (SkyNewswire.com)--- There's a new rabbi in town. Rabbi Celso Cukierkorn, who moved to Miami-Dade County in May and has started Adat Achim Synagogue in Sunny Isles, knows a great deal about those who convert to Judaism. Since his rabbinic career started more than a decade ago, Cukierkorn, 37, has converted many of those people himself - in Europe, South America and China. Welcoming new people as Jews is important to him.

"Today, we have as many Jews in the world as there were the day the Americans liberated the concentration camps," he said. "Next generation, we will have negative growth, and we're going to have less Jews in the world. Somebody has got to do something about it. I believe that as a leader of Jewish people, we should put them on the red carpet; we should welcome those people who are legitimately interested in becoming Jewish. It must be offered
to them."

Religious and Spirituality : Journey to Judaism through Conversion

Religious and Spirituality

Convert to Judaism - SkyNewswire.com (SkyNewswire.com)--- Growing up without faith feels like an integral part of life is missing. For some, discovering that Judaism is a reflection of their own personal beliefs confirms that the synagogue is home. The subsequent decision to convert is a heavy one marked with personal and spiritual development.

Rabbi Joseph Benson of Temple Beth El in Jefferson City, Mo., believes that converting depends on the person; it is a very personal act. Because each person is unique, the specific reasons for converting may vary. As he explains, one person may grow up in a religious home while another may grow up without any faith, but both will decide to convert. No two experiences or reasons for converting will be the same.

A few people have checked the constitution and have found a hitch in the outcome of the 2008 election.

From those initial illicit gatherings and conferences came the ‘birth of a nation.’

Once again a small group of citizens are meeting in lawyer’s offices, on the internet and in media rooms with the National Press Club. Now it seems the participants in these meetings are clutching the Constitution and fighting to stop what they believe could be the ‘death of a nation!’

Politics & World Affairs : Why is the Media Silent on the Obama Birth Certificate Question?

Politics & World Affairs

American Profect - SkyNewswire.com (SkyNewswire.com)--- Why has every major news source in the United States almost totally blacked out all reference to the Hawaiian Obama birth certificate controversy?

In layman’s terms the mainstream media may be afraid of showing up with egg on its face. Yet, the question about the allegedly fraudulent COLB (certificate of live birth) doesn’t want to go away. It is more than simple curiosity that is driving the quest; it is a strong desire for the truth and the hope of avoiding a constitutional crisis that would be unparalleled in our entire history as a nation.

The media recently reported Barack Obama’s choice of a corned beef sandwich for his lunch. The question about his Blackberry phone has gotten more media attention than the birth certificate question. The politicos and media that follow the President Elect are looking more like the paparazzi than a group of professional journalists. What’s wrong with this picture; here are a few possibilities.

Politics & World Affairs : Free Gas and Mortgage Payments – How to Cash in on a $600 Mil. Campaign

Politics & World Affairs

American Profect - SkyNewswire.com (SkyNewswire.com)--- The fat lady has sung and the votes have been tallied. Barack Obama is the 44th president of the United States. America has married the dem’s most secular liberal and the honeymoon is now underway. Will it work?

On election night Fox News showed a clip of a young African American woman saying that she knew that if she needed a tank of gas or help with her mortgage payments Obama would help her. It was pitiful to watch but not altogether that far removed from the fantasy notions running through the heads of many naďve Obama supporters.

At the risk of being called a party pooper I won’t mention that for $600 mil you could feed about 10 million hungry children for several years in some third world country, even Kenya. Now the little poll that’s popping up on certain websites isn’t about who is most likely to cheat, Obama or McCain, it is rather the question of whether we think Obama bought your vote. Even if you were an Obama supporter it would be hard to say no.

It is not fair to label those who want answers as racists, disillusioned right wingers, conspiracy nuts or any other convenient appellation thereby asking them to simply shut up. Lawsuits filed to require that an official vault document be produced have come from African Americans, democrats and a host of constitutionally concerned citizens.

In fact one You Tube offering about the matter garnered 750,000 views alone and the total viewing of videos and articles on the subject is somewhere near three million to date.

The only actual recourse to the all new liberal administration comes from conventional wisdom. We will call it the ‘off and on’ approach here but make no mistake this doesn’t mean you can be off and on as in hot and cold.

More succinctly it means we must get off our duffs (politically) and on our knees (spiritually.)

Ivory Like Sholapith Sculptures from India - SkyNewswire.com (SkyNewswire.com)---In the past, collectors have been fascinated with sculptures of pure white Ivory without knowing the damage it caused to our eco-system. Luckily governments of a number of nations have banned Ivory trade altogether.

Craftsmen from eastern India had been crafting beautiful items of SholaPith (lookaloikes of Ivory) since ages. It is only recently that Sholapith items have got international recognition for its beauty, eco-friendliness and superb craftsmanship. Shola pith is a milky-white sponge-wood that is carved into delicate and beautiful objects of art only in a few states of India. Shola is a plant, growing in marshy waterlogged areas of eastern Indian States commonly referred to as eastern marshy Gangetic plains. It is unbelievable that this plant grows nowhere else in the world. The biological name of Shola is Aeschynomene Indica and it is an herbaceous plant. The Sholapith is the cortex or core of this plant.
