I found this story at CNN. How about another Hollywood wedding that has happened within a month. That is just what this is about. Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom are going to be married this Sunday after they met only one month ago at a party they both attended. Some say that the wedding is just being planned so that it can be aired on the reality TV show "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." This will boost the shows ratings. Another source said that Khloe just knows what she wants and these two started talking about marriage early into their relationship. Anyway, the wedding will be held this Sunday in L.A. and the camera crew will be there.
Another celebrity wedding. My thoughts about this is how long will this one last. I mean come on, there is a certain line you have to draw. Maybe I am wrong and these two are in love. I highly doubt it though.
I don't like it when celebrities get picked on because they live their lives just like we do, but it seems like this wedding is just for publicity. Why are they taping it for the show and why did it have to happen so soon? I would have to agree with one of the sources in the article in saying that it seems like they just want to boost the ratings for their reality show. I wish that people these days would see marriage as it is supposed to be. To love each other till death do us part. Divorce just seems to be too easy of an out now. If these two are indeed in love like they say they are, then I wish them the best. If not, it makes me sick to see that they are abusing marriage this way. I guess we will just have to find out in the future what this couple is all about.
I stand firm in believing that marriage is supposed to be forever. There are always going to be tough times, but that is what the vows say when you repeat them at your wedding. Again, I hope the best for this couple and maybe they can prove me wrong.

Parents Sue Walmart
Check it out here
I found this at abc news. This story is about parents that lost custody of their children for a month because a walmart employee called some of their photos they were developing child pornography. After many plees that their pictures were just bath time fun, child protective services still removed the three girls from their home. According to the video a medical examiner found no signs of abuse and a judge found that the photos were harmless. Still after all that, the girls were gone for a month and the family says that the damages were done. The mother was suspended from work for a year and the both of them were put on a list of sex offenders. The parents are now putting up a lawsuit against walmart and the town in which it happened.
I cannot believe that this could happen to a family. Like they said in the video, probably 90% of the population have photos like these. I think that they are doing the right thing by putting up the lawsuit. They as well as their children have been through a lot.
I stand by my opinion in saying that these were perfectly innocent pictures. These parents had no intention of exploiting their children in any way. You can see some of the pictures yourself if you look at the video, but they are just children in their towels having fun after a bath. The mother tried giving advice to other parents warning them to just be aware of certain policies if you want to develop your pictures. What is not harmful to you might be to someone else. I still feel that walmart went too far with these. I know that there are some pictures that might need to be questioned, but there is nothing in these that should have raised a sign. I deeply feel for this family and I hope that the children can recover as well. I can't imagine how hard it was for them to stay in a strangers house for a month. I will keep a follow up on this story and I wish the best for this family.

Breast Cancer PSAs Raise Eyebrows
Check it out here
I found this at abc news. It is about new spots being televised for breast cancer awareness. They are wondering if they have taken it too far with the new ads. There are girls in bikinis that some people think look more like a lingerie add instead of breast cancer awareness ads. Some are very provocative, but the founder of Rethink Breast Cancer says that to get younger people to pay more attention they had to come up with a new way to do it. The article states that every organization is trying to come up with a way to let their message sink in. These are very memorable, but are they the right way to go?
With my first reaction, I was unsure if this would be the right way to address this issue. It is definitely going to offend some people. As I kept reading I started realizing why they wanted to do them this way. I mostly agree with them and think that it will be good for the people they are trying to inform.
Some of these ads are very provocative and sexual but lets be honest, sex is what sells these days. The leading cause of cancer deaths in young women is breast cancer. So like they say, are younger women going to pay attention to older ladies on a pamphlet or to this more day and age approach. According to the article, the younger people are who said they needed to come up with a more in your face approach to get them to realize this is a big deal. According to this article the founder of this organization says that they are also targeting men. They want them to be more aware for their wives or their girlfriends. I think that this is going to be very controversial, but for the most part I think they are going in the right direction.
Since breast cancer is the leading death in young women, I think that it is very important to target them in a way that they are going to be more willing to go and get an exam. I know that I wouldn't think twice about getting breast cancer but this made me more aware. At the end of this article it said that this will offend some people but it will also be memorable, and people act on memory of ads. I strongly agree.

Germs On A Plane
Check it out here
I found this at abc news. I am not a big traveler but I thought that this would be interesting to find out what kind of germs can actually be on a plane. Since the swine flu has a lot of people acting more cautious, it might be a good idea to know how to help prevent it. The story actually tells how the air on a plane circulates, and that it is probably cleaner than most indoor places. It also states that planes are very well sanitized after flights, but shows you ways that you can help prevent getting sick. The medical specialist suggests bringing your own products such as hand sanitizer, a mask, pillow, blanket, etc. This article says that it is not a hazard to fly, but just be aware of your surroundings.
I think that it is very important to watch out for yourself when traveling, and this article shows a lot of different ways you can do this. My reaction did not change later on in this article because it just kept showing ways to protect yourself.
Like I said before, I myself am not a big traveler, but many people are. It is important to pack essentials you need for keeping yourself sanitized. According to the story when someone coughs it can travel back about three rows in just seconds, and within fifteen minutes the germ particles can travel about ten rows. This is a little disgusting to think about, but it also puts into perspective what you need to look out for. I feel that for myself the most important things to keep with you when you are traveling anywhere would be hand sanitizer and wipes. They are easy to carry and can take care of all the little things you touch. The last thing that the medical professional mentioned was to just be aware of the people that are sick and keep yourself out of contact. It's pretty much common sense but it works.
After reading this article, I think that planes are very well sanitized and you would be just as likely to get sick anywhere else. I do think that it is important to stay cautious though, and to be aware of your surroundings. After all, you don't want to be sick for your entire vacation.

Casino Let Me Lose $125,000
Check it out here
I found this story at abc news. It is about a lady that lost $125,000 one night and is now blaming it on the casino. She took it to court claiming that the casino knew she was a compulsive gambler and that they should not have advanced her the $125,000 line of credit when she asked for it. She claims that they knew she had money so they took advantage of her.
My reaction to this was, are you serious. It mentions in the article that before the advance she had already lost $8,000. She had already lost this much money and now she is asking for more. This is her own fault. Did my reaction change after further reading? I think not.
This lady admits to being a pathological gambler. If she knew that she might get herself into trouble, why didn't she sign herself up for the Voluntary Exclusion Program. According to the article this is a self sign up program that you can put yourself on if you feel that you might get into trouble. It lets the employees do a crosscheck when you either cash out or ask for an advance. This could have been extremely helpful for this lady. As for this lady taking this casino to court so she doesn't have to pay back the $125,000 that she lost on her own, I think it is crazy. This is a problem that she has and she needs to get help for. It also states that she estimated to have lost around $900,000 in her lifetime. That is a large chunk of change to have just lost. Like I stated before, I think she needs help. I have to agree with the casino in this and say that it was entirely her decision to lose this money and it is her responsibility to pay it back.
I end in a quote from Wilson Mizner: "Gambling is the sure way of getting nothing from something."

Best Days For Shopping Discounts
Check it out here
I found this story on abc news. Everyone is always trying to find good deals. In this story it tells you different days of the week to buy certain items. For example it starts by saying it is best to buy plane tickets on Wednesday morning. Airlines start their sales on Friday and they are constantly competing with other airlines but by Wednesday they are going to give you the best deal. Also, they said the best day to book a hotel room would be Sunday. There are usually more than one manager there on Sundays so they can find the best rates they have for you. These were just a few examples. They also talked about when to buy gas, cars, dinner out, groceries, entertainment, clothes, department ware stores, and books.
When I saw the headline of this story I had to watch it. I am pretty sure that everyone is always looking for a better bargain. When the story first started I was skeptical. How can there be certain days of the week that are better to buy things? Then it started to make more since later on. If you think about the different things they talked about it made since.
I already explained why it was better to buy plane tickets and hotel reservations, but what about gas. I thought that gas just was what it was. It explains that Thursday mornings before 10:00am are best because of supply and demand. This makes perfect since. More people travel on the weekend so the price is going to go up. It is kind of the same with entertainment. Can you guess when the perfect day to go out for entertainment is? Wednesday, no one is out on Wednesdays. Many places give great discounts on this day just to get people in. A major money saver for me is clothes. I always try to hit the sales, but like they mentioned in this story, you never know when they are going to pop up. One big day is long weekends, but another important day is the night before. Most employees are already down pricing the clothes and they will honor those prices. Plus you get first pick before everyone else gets through them. I was very excited to see another perspective on saving money. To begin with I was skeptical, but now I see how you can save money by watching different days of the week. I am definitely going to try and get gas on Thursday mornings and see if their suggestions work.
Saving money is a part of every one's life. There is always another way to try. I enjoy listening and reading about what another person has done to save money. I would love to hear from you if you have any more suggestions. Feel free to post as many as you would like!

Boy Scout turns 'mud pit' into a $60K Playground
Check it out here
I found this story at CNN. I was ready for an upbeat story and I think found it. Alex is a 16 year old boyscout who wanted to make a difference at a Russian hospital where he was actually raised for his first 11 months of life. He was abandoned by his parents and was raised by this hospital until he was adopted by Dwight and Jenny Griffith. He was diagnosed with a touch of Cerebral Palsy, but is now a healthy teenager who loves video games, riding his dirt bike, and being active in boyscouts. He wanted to give back to Hospital 20 in Russia by giving the children a descent playground. Before his playground went up all that was there before was a rusty swing and a sandbox that Alex referred to as a mud pit because of all the rain. Alex recruited more than 500 volunteers from different countries and raised more than $60,000 for his project. He actually got to go over himself with a small group to help set up the playground. Alex is hoping to become an Eagle Scout and is patiently waiting to see if this project will help him to get there. He says no matter what he is happy with what he has done and is helping other adopted kids that has asked him how they can help do the same thing that he has done.
When I first started to read this story I was amazed at the fact the hospital did so much for Alex when he didn't even have a family member around. I was also excited to see that Alex grew up to be a very intelligent and helping young boy. As you can probably guess my reaction did not change as the story went on, but only got better.
I think that we have a lot of good things that happen in this day and age, but I also think that there is a lot of bad that goes on as well. I have four children myself and I am hoping that they grow up to be intelligent in the choices that they make. We all know that people are followers. They follow what they think is popular and they follow what they think is fun. I feel that if more people could fall into this 16 year old boy's footsteps and do something good for the world it might set a trend for others to do the same. Even if it is something small. Granted a $60,000 playground is a great accomplishment, something much smaller can do good as well. Whether it be cleaning up a community or even just a neighbor's yard if they are unable, the small things in this world can help. I am intrigued with what Alex wanted to do for someone else. He felt that the children at Hospital 20 in Russia needed a new playground, so he set his mind to it and accomplished his task.
I end in saying... It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

Selling Friends on Facebook
Check it out here
I found this story at abcnews.com. The title was very interesting to me...Marketing Company Sells Clients Facebook Friends. If you are familiar with Facebook you know that you usually make friends by sending a request and then they accept. Now there is a company that is doing it for money. An Australian marketing company named uSocial will now sell you 1,000 friends for under $200. The maximum friends you can buy is 5,000 and you can get that for $727. This service is meant for business, celebrities, or people who just want to increase their social network. Do you think that Facebook is happy about this? Definitely not.
My first reaction to this story was how can this be happening with the privacy policies that Facebook has, and how can someone want friends that bad that they would spend money to get them. As I read on, I learned that most people that did this was for business purposes. The more people they had on their account, the more advertising and talk they had for their company. I still didn't understand how this was not violating privacy of the people on Facebook.
I am currently a Facebook member, and at first I felt that the privacy was dealt with very good. Now I am not so sure. If uSocial can use someones account to find ideal matches for what that company is looking for, then what else can they do into your account? As I read on I found out that Facebook is not happy about this at all. They bring forth that giving anyone else access to your account is against the site's policies, as is sending out friend requests for someone else's behalf. I felt the exact same way. How can you trust a network if someone else is using you for their benefit? Later on in the article I found out that this isn't the first time that uSocial has tried doing this. They also tried to do the same thing on Twitter.
In conclusion, I myself am hoping that this crazy business can be stopped. There could be a lot of people ending up very angry if this goes on. My reaction is still the same. I can't believe people are using money to gain friends, and I also feel that Facebook could lose many clients as long as uSocial keeps up their work. What do you think?

Get rich, get thin -- or get real?
Check it out here
I found this article on CNN. When I first started to read it, I could tell that it was talking about another type of multi-level business. I am very against most of these types of companies, but I decided to read on to see if this one was any different. It's product was body slimming undergarments from the company Ardyss International. Their claims are that you can wear it and get thin, or you can sell it and get rich. In this type of business distributors make money through sales. You can make even more if you recruit more distributors under you and so on. Most of these companies hold rallies where the highest ranked people in the business tell of their success stories and how you can do it too. They claim how in times like these people need more ways to make money and that their company is going to be the answer. Stephen Calkins, a law professor, says that you have to be careful with these type of companies. You should check their credibility. He also suggests that you understand that the success stories you hear are very unlikely. He says it is true that a few people will hit it big, but most will make very little, nothing, or even lose more money than they make.
After reading this entire article, I still feel the same as before. I don't feel that a multi-level business can earn everyone millions of dollars. I agree with Stephen Calkins when he says you have to be very cautious as to what you spend your money on. If you have to take out a large portion of money to get started, and then you are asking others to do the same, it would make me very nervous. How will this type of business earn you the same amount of income in the long run? Eventually, you would have to believe that it would just run out. Then you would have to find some other way to get rich quick. I stand firm on saying that a business like this would not work for me.

Most of these companies hold rallies where the highest ranked people in the business tell of their success stories and how you can do it too. They claim how in times like these people need more ways to make money and that their company is going to be the answer. Stephen Calkins, a law professor, says that you have to be careful with these type of companies. You should check their credibility. He also suggests that you understand that the success stories you hear are very unlikely. He says it is true that a few people will hit it big, but most will make very little, nothing, or even lose more money than they make.
After reading this entire article, I still feel the same as before. I don't feel that a multi-level business can earn everyone millions of dollars. I agree with Stephen Calkins when he says you have to be very cautious as to what you spend your money on. If you have to take out a large portion of money to get started, and then you are asking others to do the same, it would make me very nervous. How will this type of business earn you the same amount of income in the long run? Eventually, you would have to believe that it would just run out. Then you would have to find some other way to get rich quick. I stand firm on saying that a business like this would not work for me.
