| Who Doesnt Need Emergency Cash?Wed, 07 Jan 2009 14:40:02 -0800 by personalmoneystorehttp://personalmoney store.com/moneyblog/ 2008/12/31/who-doesn t-need-emergency-cas h/Search for good news ends wellAmericans are taking out more payday loans. Banks and auto companies are petitioning the government for emergency cash. Hospitals, airlines, retails stores and just about every other industry are taking nosedives.Photo of the console 128 bits Nintendo GameCube. My theory: Unemployment caused the increase in video game sales.But today, after writing a couple of posts about how awful the economy is, I thought There have to be some industries out there that are doing well.And what do you know, I was right. So I decided to switch gears and share some good news instead of repeating what everyone already knows. (Yes! It IS recession!)Gamers just wanna have funThe video game industry is still thriving. Fortune seems to think that the rise in unemployment has contributed to keeping the business successful.And you know what? I think they are right. I was unemployed for a few weeks, and when I wasnt looking for a job, you could find me somewhere near the GameCube or the Xbox. Some gamers are so obsessed with getting the newest games first, they take out payday loans to buy them on the day theyre released.Sitting prettyA typical tube of lipstick. Even in though times, people wont give up their lipstick for anything.Some cosmetics manufacturers are seeing gains right now. Whiledepartment stores are seeing low sales in clothing, jewelry and electronics, the beauty counters are still seeing a steady stream of customers.In the clearNot surprisingly, the waste management business hasnt seen any decline. Some things are simply necessary. Plummeting gas prices and consolidating companies have also helped the industry. For more on this article please visit http://personalmoney store.com/moneyblog/ 2008/12/31/who-doesn t-need-emergency-cas h/ Thank goodness this industry wont need to ask for emergency cash. Its one I never want to have to do without.Like home-cookin but easierAnother group of products that has generated increased revenue is comfort food. Kraft, well-known for its macaroni and cheese, raised revenue by 7 percent. Hormels grocery store sales increased thanks to a resurgence in Spam.SIERRA MADRE, CA - MAY 29: Seventieth anniver... Fortune refers to Spam as the caviar of hard times.This increase in Spam sales makes me wonder if Fortune should be categorizing this one cheap food instead of comfort food. However, because the article led with mac & cheese, my personal comfort food of choice, I will let it slide.SurvivorsAnoth er not-so-surprising statistic: Discount retailers are pulling in more money. Dollar stores and, of course, retail giant Wal-Mart have increased sales. In these hard times its no shock that people are trying to save however they can.This makes me ponder the question: Is middle-income the new low-income? If average people are turning to discount retailers for goods, that likely means they cant afford to pay regular price. In my opinion, if people have to seek out low prices instead of regular prices, that means they have a low income. Just a thought.Smart investmentFor-profit education hasnt taken a hit. Strayer Education, Devry and the Apollo Group all saw higher enrollment and jumps in revenue last quarter.Its not too difficult to figure out why this is happening. As unemployment rises, people who have been laid off decide maybe its time to get that degree or technical certificate theyve been thinking about. Or else they work for industries that are doing badly, and they figure its time for a change in career.

| Erin Maxwell 072 Jones Case 3Tue, 06 Jan 2009 22:55:43 -0800 by Justice4ErinMaxwellThis is a news video on the subject of eleven year old Erin Maxwell who lived with her father, stepmother, and stepbrother in Palermo Town, Oswego County, New York State, USA.Erin was found critically injured in her bedroom on August 29, 2008. She was taken to a hospital where emergency workers worked through the night but were unable to save her. Erin was pronounced dead the next morning.According to the death certificate prepared by the Medical Examiner, Erin Maxwell died from asphyxia with sexual trauma as a contributing factor. In a section of the certificate which describes how the trauma occurred, it states "Assaulted by another". So to state this as simply as possible, Erin was raped and murdered.The alleged killer was her stepbrother Alan Jones who was the only person at home with her when the incident occurred. He has been arrested on a charge of second degree murder. Thus far, New York state officials have refused to answer any questions as to why Alan was not also charged with sexual assault.The Oswego County Department of Social Services (DSS) had investigated the Maxwell family three times in the past in response to complaints. The DSS was also contacted many other times by concerned individuals but refused to investigate. One person who saw the inside of the Maxwell house and was concerned for Erin's safety called the DSS and was told by a worker, "It's none of our business. We can't tell people how to live".Each of the three times that the DSS did investigate the Maxwell family, the Department determined that Erin was being adequately cared for and living in conditions that were acceptable to the DSS worker.The conditions inside the house included 125 cats and dozens of other animals including dogs, chickens, geese, a snake, and an iguana. The house also contained animal feces up to eighteen inches deep, piles of rotting garbage up to five feet deep, and twelve dead kittens in the kitchen freezer. Also, Erin was locked in her room every night and sometimes for days at a time. She was rarely fed and had to steal food from other children at her school. The DSS worker who investigated called the way the family was living a "lifestyle choice" and stated that there was no justification to remove Erin from that environment.I expect to be adding more videos. Please subscribe to this channel so you will be automatically notified when videos are added.And pray for the suffering children of this world.

| Deltairs--1958-Who Would Have Thought ItTue, 06 Jan 2009 16:47:42 -0800 by 5121949© 2003 by Marv Goldberg The Deltairs were one of the few female groups around in 1957, sharing the spotlight with the Bobbettes, the Chantels, and the Shirelles. Their classic Lullaby Of The Bells still remains a vocal group favorite after all these years.The original Deltairs were from the South Jamaica Projects, and formed in 1955 in Central Commercial High (just in time for a senior year talent show, in which they came in second). The original group (which started off by calling itself the Centraltone Debs), consisted of Mae Brown (first soprano and lead), Carol Stansbury (second soprano), Henrietta Roper (first alto), and a girl named Joyce (second alto).They might have made a career out of it, but graduation intervened. Mae got married and Carol lost track of Henrietta and Joyce. But, as Carol says, I always liked singing. It's something I always wanted to do. So, within a couple of months, she had recruited her sister, Thelma Stansbury (first soprano) and neighborhood friend Shirley Taylor (first alto); the Deltairs were re-born. The three of them would hang around the benches in the projects, listening to (and joining in with) the Rivileers, the 5 Sharps, the Love Larks, the Beltones, and the Cleftones. There was a fourth Deltair, Barbara Lee (second alto), a friend from Central Commercial, who lived in Brooklyn. While she was a permanent member of the group, she wasn't a part of the bench scene.Carol had a job at the Workman's Compensation Board in 1955 (prior to the Politically Correct Workers' Compensation), and it was there that she struck up a friendship with pianist and bandleader Al Browne. He introduced us to Malcolm Dodds at a Boys' Club in Brooklyn. Malcolm told us about a talent show at the Boys' Club, where we won second place: a trophy and certificates. Since Malcolm liked their harmony, he worked with them on their arrangements. In 1955, there weren't a lot of female groups around, so the Deltairs' influences tended to be the guys on the benches. They preferred songs with a lot of harmony, and had their own arrangements of standards such as Danny Boy, That Lucky Old Sun, and You'll Never Walk Alone.They mostly played small talent and variety shows, usually at schools. There was the occasional club or dance gig, but work wasn't all that frequent. Then one day in 1957, Shirley Taylor brought in a friend, lead soprano Barbara Thompson, and the four became five.In early 1957, through Al Browne, the Deltairs hooked up with Stan Feldman and Ed Portnoy, who became their managers. By the middle of the year, Feldman and Portnoy had decided to form a label to showcase their new talent. With offices at 1697 Broadway, Ivy Records was launched. At their first session, the Deltairs recorded four tunes: Lullaby Of The Bells and Standing At The Altar were two songs that Carol had written. The other two were It's Only You, Dear (by bandleader Al Browne and Oliver Hall) and I Might Like It (by veteran songwriter George Weiss). The orchestra was conducted by Al Browne himself. Barbara Thompson led Lullaby Of The Bells, with a strong assist from alto Barbara Lee (doing the bass part). It's Only You, Dear was fronted by Barbara Thompson and Carol Stansbury. This August 1957 pairing was not only the first record by the Deltairs, but also the first release on Ivy. As usual, everything official was done after the fact: Feldman and Portnoy waited until September 9 to announce the creation of Ivy Records. The blurb stated that Feldman had been with Kingsboro Music (which dealt with jukeboxes) and Portnoy ran The Record Shack (a jazz outlet). Portnoy would later team up with Paul Winley (owner of Winley Records) to form the Porwin label, for which the Clovers recorded in the 60s.The disc was reviewed the week of September 23, 1957, both sides getting excellent ratings. Other reviews that week were for the Del Vikings' Come Along With Me, the Rays' Silhouettes, Thurston Harris' Little Bitty Pretty One, Donnie Elbert's Have I Sinned, the Vicounts' Smoochie Poochie, and the Isley Brothers' Rockin' MacDonald. The record started to take off in the New York area (it was one of my favorites at the time) and the Deltairs were booked on a show that DJ Hal Jackson (WLIB) was putting on at the Hunts Point Palace (in the Bronx) on November 1. They shared the stage with the Bobbettes, the Rays, the Chantels, the Dubs, the Rob-Roys, the Bop Chords, the Shells, the Kodaks, and the Big Al Sears Orchestra.A couple of weeks later (on the 18th) Ivy announced the signing of some more acts: the Vanguards, the Cozytones, and Jimmy Lewis and the Volumes.
