I Gotta Feeling You Will Like This Tune Too

Gotta Feeling You Will Like This Tune Too

Favorite song by them and just love this video too! - I like most have run hot and cold with this band - The album seems to implode in on itself, song after song, same after same. I then discussed the album with a friend who convinced me I had to listen again to I Gotta Feelin' - Reluctant at first, I listened and loved it.

Then I saw the video and I loved it even more (I wish all my nights out were like that!!)

More Than a Song - But but In my opinion, this is a 5 star show.

Life is not holding a good hand; Life is playing a poor hand well.

Beauty comes from the inside but a good surface polish never did any harm, Give your self the power of good and get ready to glow just like the star you are, it just takes a little fun effort




Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance towards the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point.

Harriet Hodgson – Author Spotlight

Expert Author Harriet Hodgson, BS, MA, is in today's Author Spotlight.

Harriet is not your typical article marketer. She started out as a teacher and earned a BS with honors from Wheelock College in Boston, MA. She went on to earn an MA in Art Education from the University of Minnesota and did additional graduate work. After spending a dozen years in the classroom, she changed careers and turned to writing.

She's now been an Independent Journalist for more than 30 years and is the author of 27 published books and hundreds of print and electronic articles. She's a member of the American Society of Journalists and Authors, the Association of Health Care Journalists, and the Association for Death Education and Counseling. Amazingly, she is also an active GRG (grandparent raising grandchildren) of teens.

Harriet's education and life experience give her a unique and wise position from which to write her articles. In many ways she is a model for combining article marketing with passion and expertise to benefit not only herself, but her readers as well.

You may not have the benefits of Harriet’s education and expertise (few of us do!), but that doesn’t mean you can’t experience comparable success with your article marketing.

Here are 5 lessons from Harriet that you can put into practice today:

  1. Write about what you know and are passionate about.
     
  2. Just write! Sometimes opportunities come from unexpected directions.
     
  3. Don’t make excuses for not writing articles. Everybody has demands on their time, energy and concentration.
     
  4. Strive for quality and read your articles aloud before you submit them.
     
  5. Enter your author name in search engines and use what you find to gain new information.

Now put these lessons to good use by writing a whole new crop of fresh, high-quality articles. Speaking of crops, don’t forget to make hay while the sun shines! Article review times are still less than 24 business hours, so now’s the time to get that backlog of articles written and submitted.

We asked Harriet to share some of her experience and expertise with the rest of the EzineArticles community.

And leave a comment for Harriet. I’m sure she’d love to hear from you. :)

No time to hit the gym because you’re always stuck at the office?

No time to hit the gym because you’re always stuck at the office? Then bring the gym to you with these moves, which you can do right at your desk.

You Will Need
    * A desk
    * A desk chair with wheels

Step 1: Work your arms
Work your arms. While seated, lift your feet and push your chair back with your arms. When they’re fully extended, pull the chair back to the desk. Do this five times a few times a day to work your biceps, triceps, and pectorals.

Step 2: Do the funky chicken
Do the funky chicken. Place your fingers on your shoulders, elbows pointing out to the sides. Pull your elbows back as far as you can, then push them forward and try to touch them together. Repeat 10 times.

Step 3: Do more funky chicken
Do the funky chicken, part two. Keeping your fingertips on your shoulders, lift your elbows up and then push them down to your sides, as if you’re flapping wings. Repeat 10 times to relax shoulder and upper back muscles and relieve neck tension.

Step 4: Work your back
Work your triceps and back. Put your right hand over your shoulder, touching your upper back. Reach your left hand behind you and try to join your hands. Hold for five. Do this three times several times a day on both sides.
One side will be much easier for you, depending on your dominant side.

Step 5: Tone that butt
Tone that butt by squeezing and holding your butt cheeks for five to ten seconds. Repeat six to eight times several times a day. For maximum results, squeeze as tight as you can.
As you get out of your chair throughout the day, try to use only your leg muscles, leaving your arms at your sides and keeping your spine straight. This gives the muscles in your legs a quick workout.

Step 6: Let’s twist
Let’s twist. Put your left hand on the back of your right armrest, and slowly twist your torso towards the right. Repeat with your right hand and left arm rest. This relaxes the lower back and trims the tummy and waist.

Step 7: Hug your hamstring
Work your lower body, hamstrings, and quadriceps. Put your hands under your right thigh and pull your knee toward your chest. Extend your leg straight out in front of you and hold for a few seconds. Do five reps with each leg.

Now, Whoever Said History Was Boring!


There is an old Hotel/Pub in Marble Arch, London, which used to have a gallows adjacent to it. Prisoners were taken to the gallows, (after a fair trial of course) to be hung. The horse drawn dray, carting the prisoner, was accompanied by an armed guard, who would stop the dray outside the pub and ask the prisoner if he would like ''ONE LAST DRINK''. If he said YES, it was referred to as “ONE FOR THE ROAD” If he declined, that prisoner was “ON THE WAGON” So there you go. More bleeding history..

They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & sold to the tannery. If you had to do this to survive you were, "Piss Poor", but worse than that, were the really poor folk, who couldn’t even afford to buy a pot, they "Didn’t have a pot to Piss in" & were the lowest of the low.


The next time you are washing your hands and complain, because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be.
Here are some facts about the 1500’s: Most people got married in June, because they took their yearly bath in May and they still smelled pretty good by June. However, since they were starting to smell, brides carried a bouquet of flowers, to hide the body odour.
Hence the custom today, of carrying a bouquet when getting married...


Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children, ‘Last of all the babies’ by then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the Bath water!"


Houses had thatched roofs, thick straw piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs."


There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom, where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top, afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.


The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt, ‘Hence the saying’ "Dirt Poor." The wealthy had slate floors, that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh, until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance-way. Hence: a thresh hold. (Getting quite an education, aren't you?)


In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day, they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight, and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme: ''Peas porridge hot, peas’ porridge cold, pea’s porridge in the pot, and nine days old''.

Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon, to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could, "Bring home the Bacon." They would cut off a little, to share with guests and would all sit around talking and ''Chew the fat''.


Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning & death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.


Bread was divided, according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or ''The Upper Crust''.


Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. ‘Hence the custom of’ ''Holding a Wake''.


England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So, they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, thread it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night, (the graveyard shift) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be, ''Saved by the Bell '' or was considered a ''Dead Ringer'' And that's the truth.


Now, whoever said History was boring!! So . . . get out there and educate someone! Share these facts with a friend, like I just did!!

Before all the excitement of the new year wears out, here are five simple things I would love for you to try so that your company will have a glorious truly data driven 2010!

How To Become a Gmail Ninja

Become a Gmail Ninja

Learn tips and tricks to save time, increase your productivity, and manage your email efficiently. Start with the tips that are right for you, based on how much email you get each day.
  • White belt
  • Green belt
  • Black belt
  • Gmail master

White belt: I get a few messages a day

  1. Use stars to indicate a note is special.




    Use stars to easily mark certain messages as important or indicate that you need to reply to them later. Try Superstars in Gmail Labs for more star options.




  2. Reply by chat.




    Before you respond to an email, check the footer of the message to see if the other person is online. If they're available, you can save time by clicking "Reply by chat" and get them in real-time rather than over email.




  3. Organize your email with labels.




    Labels do the work of folders, plus you can add more than one to a single message. Give important emails brightly colored labels, and you'll be able to scan your inbox and quickly find the good stuff.




  4. Clean up your inbox using "Move to" -- it works just like folders.




    You can use the "Move to" button at the top of your inbox to easily move a message out of your inbox and add a label at the same time -- just as if you were moving it to a folder. If you have lots of labels, you can pick the one you want by typing the first couple characters and let auto-complete find the right one.




  5. Search your mail instead of sorting.




    Instead of sorting by date or sender, you can enter keywords in the Gmail search box to find the exact message you're looking for. It works just like Google search: if you're looking for a message that contains the word "shopping," simply type shopping in the search box and press Search Mail.




  6. Archive messages to tidy up your inbox without deleting anything.




    Gmail gives you tons of free storage space so you can save everything you want. While messages in your trash get deleted after 30 days, archived messages are kept forever. Archiving messages moves them out of your inbox and into "All Mail" for safekeeping, so you can search for them later. It's like moving old email to a giant storage room that you never have to organize.

Thirty Day Challenge Coming Home Seminar Kenny Goodmans Blog

#TDCHome Recap & First Ever Blog!

posted: December 4th, 2009

Their down to earth attitude as they present themselves as peers NOT superiors.

What better day to do my first blog post than the week after the totally awesome Thirty Day Challenge Coming Home Seminar in Manchester! Hashed as #TDCHome on Twitter!

The dust is settling and our good friends from down under are back in the sunshine leaving a wet & cold Manchester behind.

It was a monumental weekend for me and although I spent a lot of it absolutely crapping myself about having to properly present for the first time on the Sunday I was able to take in some juicy nuggets throughout.

It wasn’t just a weekend of information though. It was a weekend of meeting and bonding with some fantastic people and a weekend I will remember for the rest of my life.

The event started on the Friday morning with Ed Dale warming up the audience nicely with some home truths about building & launching products. The theme – “don’t wait to produce the perfect product before getting it out of the door, just get on with it and stop p*ssing around!” – rang out loud in lot’s of ears whilst Donal, Nathan and I were caught sheepishly glancing at each other throughout. Hence me setting up this blog this week!

WebComp Analyst

If you still haven't purchased WebComp Analyst, then it may be that you just don't believe what I have to say about its powerful, yet simple, keyword analysis abilities.

That's cool, but perhaps you'll believe this REAL customer's INCREDIBLE story about what WebComp Analyst does for him EVERY DAY:
"
I use WCA every single day - multiple times a day!

I have to say that WebCompAnalyst is one of only 2 SEO tools that I use for helping me decide, with scary accuracy, the BEST keywords to target for my URLs to get lots of FREE traffic from a top ranking in Google.

With just one click of its "Analyze Competition" button, I can spot keywords that are very likely to appear in Google's top 10 results - within SECONDS.

I combine this tool with Google's free Keyword Tool to QUICKLY find HIGHLY-SEARCHED keywords to target. What used to take me WEEKS to do, I can now do them in a FRACTION of the time.

You can't imagine my joy when Jonathan released this software about 2 years ago. It keeps getting better and better all the time - and I continue to count my good blessings to have discovered it when I did.

You see, it's like having a full-time employee working for you and ON CALL 24 hours a day doing all the research for you. However, you don't have to pay him a salary every single month, since WCA is a LOW one-time cost. It also does the job faster, never gets bored doing it, and never calls in sick!

I love it so much that I use it every single day, multiple times a day. I not only use it to spot new keywords with high potential of a top 10 listing, but also to check on my URLs rising up the rankings in Google after I've set a backlinking campaign in motion, knowing for sure that I'm on the right track.

ALL my students in my potent Google Magic System coaching program are required to buy it in their quest to getting top Google rankings themselves for keywords relevant to their URLs.

There's NOTHING else like WCA on the market, and I've used practically all of them.

So yes, I can't recommend it highly enough. Go GET it NOW.

There you have it -- out of the mouth (or keyboard!) of yet another VERY satisfied WebComp Analyst customer.

So in the first 2010 keywords of above, "Go GET it NOW"!

Here's the link: http://webcompanalyst.com/

And here's to your success
