2003 steroids baseball
We just got word from the news wire that an unconfirmed, yet rather reliable list of Baseball players thought to be using steroids sometime in the 2003 MLB season, has been released. The list include 103 different Major League Baseball players, all on a variety of teams. Once this List is confirmed, it will certainly have quite an impact on the fans perceptions of some of these very good players. The List is grouped by teams to make it easier to detect just which teams had the most steroid use. The Redsoxs and Yankees certainly rank up there:

2003 Steroid List:

97.Adrian Beltre
98.Eric Gagne
99.Guillermo Mota
100.Luis Gonzalez
101.Todd Helton
102.Ryan Klesko
103.Gary Matthews

One thing I noticed, is that about 80% of the pitchers on this list have had major arm problems since 2003. Just go down the list, and just about every pitcher missed at least a full season of baseball since 2003 due to major arm problems. So much for people that say that steroids don’t harm you!

Tazoodle – Paid to Advertise

Category: Uncategorized — admin @ 9:47 am

Over the last few weeks we have become aware of a new search engine which is launching on October 18th, 2009. It is going by the name Tazoodle. Tazoodle which is quite a crazy name, is likely going after the same success of other search engines which have become synonymous with search like Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. The difference with this search engine, is that it will pay both the people searching, as well as the people who advertise with them.

Tazoodle Business Structure
Tazoodle will earn income from a variety of different ways. These include:

● Website advertising sales
● Banner advertising sales
● Genealogy position one commissions
● Marketing video subscriptions
● Domain, hosting and email account sales
● Partnership or affiliate commissions

From the daily income, fifty percent (50%) is distributed to qualifying account owners. This is referred to as viewing income.

Of the remaining fifty percent (50%), fifteen percent (15%) pays level 1 and level 2 advertising sales commissions and the balance of thirty-five percent (35%) is retained by Tazoodle, Inc. for employee salaries and business operating expenses. Here is a quick diagram of how exactly the money is funneled through the system:

As you can see from the above diagram, there is a heavy emphasis on recruiting other advertisers. For each and every advertiser you recruit to Tazoodle, you will ear $10 of all the money they spend on ads. To make this deal even better, you will also earn 5% of all the money, your direct referrals spend into Tazoodle for advertising.

The Tazoodle Communities
As with any of these Paid to search, click, or read programs. Forums pop up where members can discuss the ins and outs as well as report any problems. Here are 2 forums related to Tazoodle, packed with people just like you, either on the fence about joining, or who have already joined this “Paid to Advertise” search engine.
- Tazoodle Forum At MMG
- Tazoodle Discussed at Talkgold.com

The “Paid to Advertise” Sign Up Process:
It’s really quite easy to signup. All you have to do is go to TAZOODLE.com, click the signup link, and you are on your way. Note that many of these types of programs can be complicated in a legal sense, so if you are an advertisers, don’t over do it. I am not certain of the legal standing of Tazoodle, and although they have a team of respected lawyers advising them, it is never bad to be cautious.

Philadelphia 76ers New logo

Category: Uncategorized — admin @ 9:08 pm

Well, if any of you didn’t know I am a huge Philadelphia sports fan. The 76ers included. This afternoon it was announced that the Philadelphia Pro basketball team, the 76ers have a new logo. When They showed me the logo, I thought to myself, “This isn’t new.” I was right Have a look.

The logo is actually going back in 76ers history. This is the logo which was last used just when Allen Iverson was breaking into the league in 1996-1997. It incorporates the red white and blue like usual, and is probably one of the more recognizable Philadelphia sports logos.

“By bringing back this old Sixers’ logo, we are connecting the past with the future,” said Ed Snider, chairman of Comcast-Spectacor, which owns the Sixers. “This logo evokes memories of some of the franchise’s proudest moments.”

My Personal opinion on the 76ers Logo
Being a fan, I have to say I am happy to see the return of this logo which was used during both the sSxers championship seasons of 1966-67 and 1982-83. Maybe it will bring them luck. The style of the logo I think is more in tune with the old NBA, but I’m a guy who loves the old NBA of Afros, 3 pointers, and just pure fun in the sport of basketball.

Bill Clinton Dyes Hair Green for Iran

Category: Uncategorized — admin @ 10:40 am

I gotta say I am very impressed with Bill Clinton. He gave a speech earlier about the revolution happening in Iran. What was very noticeable was that he actually dyed his hair green. What a great move, and it just make Clinton all the more cooler. Check out the picture taken from a TV below with Clintons new Green hair style, showing support for the Iranian movement:
green hair clinton

In the speech he said the following strong words for Iran:

“What’s going on in Iran, really?” Clinton asked. “They have some ethnic differences there and some religious differences, but basically, this is about a government trying to deny the modern world.

“And the idea is they just don’t think they can keep control, if everybody gets to say what they really believe, and go where they really want, and be who they want to be,” Clinton said, adding with a chuckle: “And they’re right, right there.”

At a time when the chaos in Iran is seemingly getting more and more tragic as we progress through time, this simply speech as well as the time it took him to show his solidarity with the Iranian people by dying his hair Green, really goes over well in my book. Although I can see where Obama is coming from with his approach, I think it may be time to take a harder lined approach on the murders taking place over there by the current regime. I have a feeling the UN will soon step in.

Young Neda Killed in Iran

Category: Uncategorized — admin @ 11:09 pm

On this day, the 5th day since the election results in Iran, a Girl who is being referred to as only Neda was shot and killed in Iran. The video of her death has inspired many, and has shown the brutality of what the people of Iran are fighting against. I am not posting the video, because it continues to be removed from Youtube due to the graphic nature.

Neda, was shot and dies before our eyes on the streets of Tehran. The young girl was protesting against the elections in a peaceful manner. We can not 100% guaranteed the authenticity of the video posted on youtube, but it is believed to be legitimate. Neda is just one of dozens killed in the worst day of violence since the election results were announced early this week. I am personally saddened and sickened by what I saw. I sort fo wish I never watched the video because the rage I have is indescribable.

Hopefully Neda’s death will show the world just how bad things are getting in Iran, and maybe the United Nations will at least do a little to help the people fighting against the tyranny out. In the been time, all we can do is hope and pray that Iran one day frees themselves from the hard lines regime they are currently living under.

I just wanted to update this. Her full name was Neda Soltani and she was a Philosophy student in Tehran.

Zicam Recall Issued

Category: Uncategorized — admin @ 12:12 pm

We just got word that there is a Zicam recall. Zicam, a drug that is part of the Matrixx Initiatives, Inc. line of products makes primarily cold, flu and allergy rememdy products. We have been in contact with the company and have some very vague information on the recal thus far.

The FDA, Food and Drug Administration today stated that the Zicam nasal spray can permanently damage a users sense of smell. In the last 10 years there have been 130 consumers who have used the Zycam nasal spray product report a long term loss of smell, which may be permanent. Because of this the company has been forced to issue a recall on the nasal spray as well as related products which I assume include the various types of nasal sprays.

Influence on Zicam
Clearly this is a major recall, and one that will potentially kill the bottom line for the Zycam line. We are tryign to get in contact with Matrixx Initiatives, however have had no luck thus far. A note on the Matrixx website states the following about the problems with the spray, “No plaintiff has ever won a court case, because there is no known causal link between the use of Zicam Cold Remedy nasal gel and impairment of smell.”

As I hear more info on this I will update this post for you all. Feel free to leave a comment if you have any further info. I want to add that from personal experience I have never had any issues with this nasal spray and have used it on and off for years. My smell is still with me.
