Michael Jackson Death Trial Begins

michael jackson dead pictureThe trial of Dr. Conrad Murray for the death of Michael Jackson on June 25, 2009 began today showing a grim photo of Jackson dead on a hospital gurney together with another picture showing his rehearsals for his planned London concerts.  Prosecutors opened by telling jurors that Michael Jackson’s misplaced trust in Dr. Conrad Murray cost him his life.  On the other hand, Murray’s lawyers countered that the pop star self-administered a dose of propofol that with the lorazepam that caused his death.

Michael’s choreographer, Kenny Ortega, took the stand claiming that the pop star was not feeling well and incoherent during some rehearsals.  He sent an email to AEG Live CEO Randy Philips informing of his concern about Michael’s psychological state.  He was later berated by Murray for acting like a doctor.  However, just 4 days after being sick, Michael seemed to have recovered and had more energy.  When asked if he believed Michael to be abusing drugs, Ortega answered in the affirmative.

Ashton Kutcher Naked with Ellen

two and a half men

With Two and a Half Men poised to return to CBS in a couple of days, Ashton Kutcher decides to spice up his entry into the show as Charlie Sheen’s replacement by having a video in his birthday suit in the Ellen de Generes Show.    The video matches the print ads for the season premiere of Two and a Half Men with Kutcher, Jon Cryer, and Angus T. Jones appearing to be naked underneath a huge placard.

While many speculate that the show will not be the same without Charlie Sheen, Ashton Kutcher’s brand of comedy may yet be able to pull it off.  Here’s the video together with part of the interview.

Novak Djokovic finally gets his first title at the US Open  by defeating Spanish former topseed, Rafael Nadal 6-2, 6-4, 6-7, 6-1 at the Arthur Ashe Stadium.


Rafa was completely dominated and outplayed and Novak now has a formidable 6-0 winning streak against Nadal in the final this 2011. Incidentally, Novak has also won 3 out of the 4 Grand Slam tennis this year.


From where Certified Blogaholic is standing, this confirms our earlier prediction that we are seeing a new rivalry in the tennis world.  The Nadal-Djokovic neck and neck battle will continue and we look forward to the next competition between these lads at the Australian Open as well as in the British Open.

Add that special something that makes readers adore

It is this post invited by Kirsten personalized productivity Simmons.

Imagine your dream client.  The person who comments on every post and opens every email you send.  The person who responds to your tweets and tells their friends about you on Facebook.  The person who immediately moves down the sales page to hitting “Buy now” unread even through the Court.

easter eggsImage courtesy aussiegal, licensed under Creative CommonsOne of the best ways to grow this type of relationship (once you have the script all epic shit thing) is to its jobs with seeds Easter eggs: hide the references not apparent to anyone who does not know what is talking about.  Persons who do not receive the reference are none the wiser and the people I most love to include it.

“But Kirsten,” say, “do not have a well endless dark knowledge to create my Easter eggs with!”  ”Can I give you to use this valuable suggestion?”

Of course not!  The idea is to connect with some of his readers in a higher, more personal level and help them to relate to you as a human member instead of an untouchable expert.  Easter eggs do not have to contain obscure references; You can use references to a common problem among the readers you also fight with yourself.

Take the productivity (unless it is a blogger of productivity, in which case can go with something else).  If you’re like most people, it has tried to a pot of different theories and systems, and most of them didn’t.  You have difficulties to find the motivation and time to keep your system and often allow fragments slide until it is far off track to discard it and start again.  Productivity is a small source of frustration, but I really don’t know why, and not sure how to fix it.

(The reason that has problems is because you are working against your personality type and needed a system that is in harmony with the functioning of the brain.)  ”(Pero_ese_no_es_el_punto_de_este_post).”

Guess what?  If you have problems for both, it means that readers probably have the same problem.  So if dot its struggles in your blog posts as Easter eggs, readers respond as if had made a reference to the 1990s British anarchist punk rock band.  You’ve only shown that it has something in common with them and hinted at a very human failure to boot.

The result?  Instant connection and unconditional fans.  And yet you don’t have to dig through Wikipedia get.

Kirsten nine months ago began asking about the connections between the strategies of productivity and personality type.  She started to dig through the library and came out with a business in your hands!  Interested in learning more about the theory of the personality of productivity?  Come visit personal productivity and answer our free questionnaire.  You can know its type and specific advice to start customizing your personality productivity strategies.

Blogs without a computer

It is actually a set of activities, but the writing is always essential. Promotion of your blog or to present an outstanding design is one thing, but there are always offer good content first. Otherwise, the best that can be achieved is being “the master of the form”.

What is wrong with a computer?

Nothing, of course. People here the problem, computers are only tools. It is our psychology, human nature.
