There seems to be a trend catching on real quick that may have all the Crackberry addicts out there in a real fit of panic.  Already with the UAE and Saudi Arabia banning BBM services provided to Blackberry phones, the attention has brought diplomatic discussions between the U.S. and these countries addressing these ‘security concerns.’ This isn’t the first time concerns have aroused…in June of 2007, Newser.com posted a story about how France banned high-level government officials from...

There are many questions I have wondered whether I’d see the answer to in my lifetime:   Will there be an African-American President in my lifetime?  Check. Will there be universal health care for Americans in my lifetime?  Check. Will there be flying cars in my lifetime? Depends on how you define a car, Virgin Galactic and Icon Aircraft may have arguments that this is a “Check” too, but I am still waiting for the flying Delorean. Will Marijuana be legalized in my lifetime?  This... Read Full Story

At first, I didn’t believe it.  My friend sends me an invite to this site that he claims I will find unbelievable discounted prices on top designer lines and travel packages.  In fact, it wasn’t until he actually came and visited and logged forced me to sit down and look at it, that I finally saw and believed it. Gilt.com is legit.  The Gilt Groupe provides access, by invitation only, to Men’s, Women’s and Children’s coveted fashion and luxury brands at prices up to 70% off retail. Each... Read Full Story

I recently took a two week vacation from Los Angeles.  It’s good to get away from home every once in a while.  It rejuvenates me and when I return, I feel refreshed and ready to be home again.  And though it was technically a “vacation,” I did get a lot of work done in my absence from Hollywood.  The Las Vegas part of the trip was for both business and pleasure.  I met with The Palms Casino and Resort to discuss the possibility of hosting The Perfect Pitch 2010 there.  Their team was...

There are rapidly growing concerns on the energy crisis as we wrap up this first decade of the 21st century.  This crisis concerns more than just people getting to and from work, flying to remote resort destinations, or conflicts in the middle east over oil.  The lifelines of the human race, such as water and food distribution, will be severely threatened in the next few decades.  We simply consume more energy every year at a exponential rate that our current energy production cannot keep up...

Unless you’re living under a rock, I’m sure you’ve read, watched, or heard about December 21, 2012.  The Mayans, I-Ching, and numerous other ancient civilization have left artifacts or texts that have been translated to be pointing to this day as the “End of Times.”  This isn’t the first time the world has experienced talks of the end of the World.  But what is interesting to me, is this time seems to have an awful lot of scientific and theoretical evidence that, at the very least, raise...

When I first heard that the Nintendo Wii could be used in physical rehab from a friend that is a director at a rehabilitation center here in Los Angeles, I laughed thinking she was telling me a joke.  As she began to explain how she uses it in her program, it began to make sense.  You can check out my friend’s blog with info on this and other health related topics: www.nursestacey.com The Nintendo Wii program has been implemented into rehabilitation programs as an effective, fun, and social...

  I recently moved into a “resort”-type apartment building that seeks to solve all the needs of their tenants not only by providing amazing amenties, but also integrates commercial space on the bottom floor that can further cater to tenant lifestyle. One of the commercials spaces, Pizza Fusion, happens to be directly under my apartment.  So convenient that even if I am craving something as symbol as their organic coffee or sugar-cane sweetened soft drinks, I can simply walk downstairs...

A lot of people are very opinionated about the subject of Michael Vick due to the fact that dogs (For the record:  I’m  a huge dog fan and have own and loved many) are involved in the situation.  For the first part of my rant, I’m going to strip away moral debate on this topic.  I mean, it’s very clear that what he did is wrong.  He should and did get punished for his actions.  The moral debate lies more on whether he should be let back into the NFL.  I’ll touch on that in a bit.
