The book, penned by Clay’s mother Leeann Whiffen, shares a deeply expressive and touching tale of hopes and dreams for Clay’s future being alternatively raised and shattered repeatedly only to end in near miraculous results.

To most people, suggesting they read a book that is even remotely related to investing would send them running screaming from the room. Pilgrimage to Warren Buffett’s Omaha: A Hedge Fund Manager’s Dispatches from Inside the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting by Jeff Matthews (McGraw-Hill) is about to change all that and unlike many books, is exactly what the title promises it to be.
It’s a long time since I read a non-fiction book that really gripped me in the truest sense of the word. We Interrupt This Broadcast with 3 CDS did that very thing. Don’t miss it or my full review published here at The Cuckleburr Times.Here’s an excerpt:
This is more than just the facts, ma’am. We Interrupt This Broadcast with 3 CDs chronicles those sometimes unexpected and always historic events that took our breath away as individuals and as a nation. Spanning seventy years, from the devastating Hindenburg explosion in 1937 right up to the 2007 Virginia Tech Massacre atrocity, We Interrupt This Broadcast* looks more deeply at forty two of the most pivotal stories behind the newsflash.
The Business Advice Forum website looks like many other forums at first glance but appearances can be deceptive. Look under the hood and you’ll discover this forum’s a Rolls Royce. Its focus is upon the small business owner, techniques for making money online and how to be the very best you can be. What it does, it does very well.
There are four sections: Business Advice Forum, Personal Success and Goal Achievement, Business Community Area and Partners & Business Market-Place. Within those you’ll find a total of 11 categories covering every aspect of business you can think of, the two most popular being the Free Business Advice and Online Business. The site is simple to navigate and operates smoothly.
Make no mistake, the Business Advice Forum isn’t jam packed with generalities and fluff like some. If you take the time to go through the folders you’ll find page after page of first class information and advice. Neither is it the usual stuff you see everywhere either. Discussion are based on what members have learned along the way, what they’re trying to achieve and their analysis of what’s going on in the business world today. For any small business owner wanting to make money online by learning from the pros, here’s where you should be. There’s no substitute for experience and the Business Advice Forum guys have it by the truckload.
The BAF members go out of their way to disseminate information into every corner of this forum, leaving no question unanswered and no idea untouched. Thoughts and discussions are expanded upon, clarification asked for and given and points focused in on. Even if it’s something they’re not particularly familiar with, they still do their best to help you find out what you want to know.
Whether you’ve been in business for decades or days, you’ll feel comfortable here. There’s no sense of seperation nor any kind of “them and us” which unfortunately is so prevalent usually in forums of this size. (At last count there was a combined total of over eight thousand posts and threads with membership standing at over five thousand members) Experienced business professionals rub shoulders with new ones offering guidance, suggestions and opinions. At the Business Advice Forum, there’s always someone standing in readiness to respond to your posts or welcome you.

At the helm is Fergal, who hails from Ireland. Fergal exemplifies everything a great owner/administrator should be. He involves himself in the discussions, encourages participation and makes everyone feel that what they have to say matters. To call his business knowledge extensive is an understatement. I go there and have yet to see a member ask something he didn’t have a thorough answer for or some train of thought to share that would point them in the right direction.
There are other members there that are equally well-informed and observant, spotting ideas and options that they gladly throw into the mix for debate and discussion. Because it generates this feeling of everyone pulling together, you can’t help but want to dive in and do the same.
In my opinion, you could look forever before finding such a spam-free, well maintained, thriving and informative business forum as this. The Business Advice Forum may be for the small businessman but it’s certainly not for small minds. At BAF you’ll find intelligent conversations are the norm and not the exception. Truly a welcome change in the online world to find both nice people and helpful advice rolled into one package.
Rating: The businessadviceforum comes highly recommended as an excellent place to network, learn, grow and get feedback on your next big idea. Visit it today: http://www.businessadviceforum.com
One of the decisions a webmaster and designer faces is their website’s page layout. Web gurus agree that if you plan to monetize your site, the proper placement of ads can mean the difference between making a bundle or a pittance. What they don’t agree on is where exactly “the proper placement” would be. How’s a guy to know the best, most effective place to put them then?
A website called Feng-GUI may give you some excellent clues about that. Described fully as Feng Shui for Graphic User Interfaces, this site’s dazzling program simulates what happens when someone physically views your webpage.
