I have had a few cable companies over the years, both here in Kentucky and back in California but there is really only one company that I was sad about losing; Charter Communications. Well Charter still reigns the leader in Cable because they do things that are geared towards the customer, which is a cable companies reason for being in the first place.

They have had some awesome contests in the last few months, from giving away XBox 360s and even Hybrid Cars. They are back at it, this time the contest is even better; you can register to win a 22 inch flat screen HDTV every day in the month of April. The contest is open to all new and upgrading customers.

All you have to do is go to Charter.com and then register for the contest. While you are there, check out the really nice bundles they offer, these bundles are how the customer saves a ton of cash. And if you go and order service from Charter this month, you will automatically registered to win a grand prize package consisting of a 52 inch LCD flat screen HDTV, a Home Theater System and a year of free Charter Digital Cable Service, that is one sweet contest.

There is more to Charter though than the contests that they have ( although they are awe inspiring) they give you great service and have really good Customer Service. I am a past customer for a few years and I would never have let them go if I had been given a choice in the matter, but that is politics of a local nature for ya.

Bottom line is, if you have an opportunity to try Charter Cable in your area I say go for it, I think you will be as happy as I always was. You can also check them out on twitter if you are a user, they can be followed @chartercom.

Ever since the Internet became the most popular thing to do besides watch TV, someone has tried to make it pay off for them. One of the most interesting and profitable ways so far to make money via the net is to do blog reviews. Some folks do not like this idea much, and have even referred to Blogger’s who do this as shillers. I myself like to think of doing paid reviews as a great advertising machine , a totally original means of getting the word out about your company or product.

If you are looking for a way to introduce your company or product to the masses why not consider having a campaign toadvertise on blogs? You get personal attention to your product or idea and you get the fantastic side effect of having your product or company keywords in a search engine pretty quick, all for a reasonable rate.

I do agree that the blogger must pay attention to the product, really find out about it and make sure it is something that they can either stand behind or at least support honestly. I do not write posts that are favorable just to be paid. If I find a product or company that I feel is not cool, I just do not write about them. I have turned down posts before for this very reason.It is perfectly acceptable to write paid posts, this is exactly the same thing those big Ad Exec’s do except we do not cost your company a ton of moo la to do it for you.

And a plus for the blogger is the fact that they get exposed to many new and fun products they may have otherwise missed in the daily tonnage of information on the net. I have actually been introduced to products that I now use and love all because of a writing job I was given to do.

If you are interested in doing paid reviews on your site, check out PayingPost.com. They are easy enough to get registered with, the site and blog are laid out in an easy to use format and they have eclectic listings to choose from. I do think they can do a bit more work on their customer service attention but I suppose they will iron out the kinks in the system soon enough.

One of the things I have done in the last 20 + years that I really loved was traveling across the US. I have made 8 trips so far, and each one was a total blast. I love the I/40 route and look forward to each stop along the way, never did the Stuckeys tho… maybe next time.
One of the places that I have to say was really pretty to go through was Missouri. One of the events in Branson I very much want to do is the Branson Victory Campaign with the Copelands. I watch each year and one of these years it will be my turn to go.

I see that there are many wonderful attractions to see while in Branson, and one of the nicesest places to stay is the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing. Looks awesome doesn’t it? ANd an even bigger setting to stay while visiting Branson is the HIlton Branson Convention Center Hotel where you get accomadations on a grand scale and you are located near every event and attraction.

What else is there to do at Branson? Why not come and take in the NAIA Basketball Championship or if you love to fish you can go to the Walmart FLW Bass Tournament this month. All events are family orientated and worth the visit for the memories that will be made with you and your family.

This is a terrific interview with Jimmy Page done in

1977 interview by Steven Rosen

This is the first and last time JP was in an interview of this kind while he was still a member of LZ. It is a three part audio interview which is a trip to listen to and there is text to go along with so you can really get into the experience that Rosen shared with JP

And now, because I am SO in the mood for some Virtual Zeppelin ~ Black Dog

If you are like millions of small business owners today, you are wondering is it possible to grow your business, and if so how. There are the traditional routes one can go through, SBA Loans and such but these avenues can take for ever and time and money waits for no man ( or woman). What if you could take your business and grow it through the use of Credit card processing?

Not that many small businesses, especially those like my business take credit cards via their websites. I and many other people use PayPal who processes the credit card payments for us. But what if you and I could process credit cards ourselves, cutting out the middle man? With Merchant Cash Advance the business owner can take credit cards and much more. They offer small loans based on future credit card payments, and even do Restaurant Loans. They offer a wide range of business solutions to growing a business.

When my husband and I had our Residential Building Business the one thing I found really hard to deal with was the employee time and pay records. Its not hard to keep simple books but when you begin to have some employees taking time off while others are working OT it can get to be a huge mess.I wish I had had some type of software to keep the numbers straight because it really came back to bite me at tax time. That was a real mess to be sure and it could have all been avoided if I had had the software like iEmployee offers.

Not only does this software let you keep accurate records of time spent on the projects by employees it also allows the HR Manager to keep costs down by enforcing the company policy on paid time off without having your HR folks spending extra time on record keeping.Employee Time Tracking is a very valuable thing in the world of business not only for the company but also for the employees themselves. If they know your HR department has all the policies and numbers in order they can concentrate on doing the job at hand. This software also allows the employee to request time off on line as well as see the balances they have accrued in time off.
