I've had my Discover Card for about 15 years now, in various forms. Indeed, i was one of the early folks to get one, back during my graduate school days. It was just such a convenient card use, and it gave cash back on an annual basis.

Well, today I still have my Discover Card and use it regularly. It is easily the most-frequently used card in my wallet, as it is tied to great benefits and still offers me cash back.

Not that cash back is the only thing you can get. There are Discover cards that get you airline miles, sweet balance transfer rates, cards with paid-on-time bonuses, and a host of other possible benefits -- over a half-dozen possible Discover cards, just waiting for you. So check it out today!

Well, it is the latest thing from my friends over at PayPerPost, where you can blog for money -- HDTV Tuesdays. It really is a neat idea -- a couple of posting opportunities will be offered on Tuesdays, seemingly no different from any other opportunity. Oh, yeah, there is one little detail -- there will be some sort of HDTV related prize associated with it, in addition to the regular posting payoff.

How can they do this crazy sounding thing? Where is the profit in this? Well, first off, it keeps us posties happy. After all, the possibility of some sort of bonus is really quite attractive. Secondly, it helps PPP and the posties develop a special relationship with the sponsoring advertisers -- in this case with Bid4Prizes.com, a really great site that i wrote about some time back. Trust me -- if I win a Playstation3 tomorrow, I'll be feeling really good about everyone!

So what do you have to do to get in on this deal? It is really quite simple. Click on the referral banner over on the right side of the blog, and it will take you right there. Or try out the "Review My Post" link down below, and you'll have another great way to sign up. Either way, you will quickly find yourself in the world of PayPerPost, and be making cash hand over fist by blogging. You would like a little bit of cash as compensation for operating and maintaining your blog, wouldn't you?

Menopause. It is a biological fact of life for women. They know it is coming, but rarely are they ready to deal with it when it does arrive. And when it does arrive, there are a host of changes that come with it -- physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual.

There is a website and ebook that deals with the issue of menopause relief. It is called Menopause A-to-Z, and operates from the following philosophical point of view.

From perimenopause to post-menopause, the change of life doesn't have to be traumatic. Here you'll find information and community to help you make it into the next exciting phase of your life!

Now that sounds like a neat idea to me -- a self-help and support group for women who are sharing the experience of change. Some of the topics that get dealt with at the site include memory issues and menopause, herbal remedies for some of the troubling physical symptoms of menopause, and hair loss in menopause. In short, Menopause A-to-Z is a wide-ranging site for women struggling with that change of life -- designed to help them live life to the fullest.

The iPod is the latest entertainment/fashion must-have item in America today. They have even outstripped the cellular phone as the status item for students in school. But let's be honest -- they all look alike, so there has to be some way of making yours stand out as uniquely yours -- and protecting it from scratching and other damage.

Zofunk has cases for all the iPod lines. many of these are made from silicone, and are a mere 1mm thick. You don't even need to take the iPod out of the case to put it in the universal dock -- it is that thin!
Zofunk has cases designed for the video iPds, for 1GB and 2 GB iPod nanos. They protect the screens and the docking ports, so that you will be able to get the maximum use from your well-cared-for iPod.

Wirefly offers great deals on cellular phones -- everyone knows that. But did you know that they have cell phone accessories, too?

And man, do they ever have some great accessories available through their site.

For example -- do you have a Bluetooth enabled phone? Do you have the earpiece that you need to make that function work for you? Well, they have one available for $34.95. No, that isn't a typo there -- a Motorola H350 can be in your ear for under $40! You really can't beat a price like that.

Or better yet, you can get that headset , a case and a charger for a RAZR phone for only $59.95. I really don't understand how they manage to set prices like this, but they do -- and it can all be to your benefit.

What is Prosper learning? That was my first question when I heard about prosperlearning. It turns out that it is the method for business success through mentoring being offered to small business people by Prosper, Inc.

A US Business Review article last year offers this insight into the business.

While each student is paired with a mentor who best fits his or her goals and experience level from the course, each mentor only works with a select group of students at a time, and receives compensation based on the success of their students. "The true differentiating factor in our company is that each student receives customized training in their specific course of study, with a mentor who has been chosen based on both personality and expertise," Willis says.

In addition, students are offered enrollment through an invitation-only process to ensure each person is fully committed to the program and motivated to achieve their goals. "As a company, the most important unit of measurement is that we're turning out success stories," Willis asserts. "We know that people will find success if they work hard at each program. One of the most crucial elements is that each student has the right qualifications and is able to work well with our coaches."

Now think about that. Prosper, Inc. does not offer you a DVD and a book in a box and tell you that you are on your own. It assigns you a mentor who has a stake in your success. Indeed, Prosper, Inc. only invites the best into its program, so that the probability of success is increased for the client/student.

Does it work? I guess so -- over 30,000 successful clients cannot be wrong.

Really, it has been great to be working with these folks doing consumer generated advertising. They sure beat those banner ads and text ads all to heck in terms of productivity. And even if I haven't been eligible for all of the big offers, and have even had one or two rejections along the way, i feel I have been well-treated by them in the three months that I've been grabbing opportunities to advertise on blogs.

How much have I made? Well, let's say that this week will pull in more than I have from AdSense in a year. Heck, I might even drop all those ads in the site redesign that is coming up -- that will certainly make my site seem a bit more sleek. And as for where it is going, there are needs following my wife's hospital stays -- and maybe even the chance to take her on that Alaska Cruise in the next year or two!

I like picking out nice gifts for friends and family members, but I don't always know what to get. It isn't that i don't care or don't have good taste, but rather that I don't always have the time to do the shopping or the originality to come up with a neat gift. That's when I turn to gift baskets -- and there are some excellent ones at GiftBasketsPlus.com.

For example, there are a lot of babies on the way at my school. Rather than go out and buy the same chain-store onesies, I can find a neat baby gift basket that contains a number of quality items that are needed for the new arrival. Or there are personalized piggy banks, a cute gift that will be treasured for years. And there are lots of other gift baskets available, for every occasion.

After all, as I look at my calendar, I see a number of times I might be tempted to buy for someone at GiftBasketsPlus.com. My brother has a birthday in two weeks. My parents have their 46th wedding anniversary early next month. Heck, my wedding anniversary is coming up – followed by my darling wife’s birthday in rapid succession. And let’s not forget that Mother’s Day is Sunday – there is still time to order, even if your gift might be tardy. So drop by and take a look around

Business cards have become more and more a staple of professional life in recent years. Everyone seems to have business cards -- not just doctors and lawyers, but even folks the guy who does your lawn and the girl who grooms your dog. Even my students have them now -- the easier to get connected with friends and acquaintances. ProfessionalBusinessCards.com has some great business card designs, and at a great price. And while I'll be honest that I find the site itself to be somewhat boring, the selection of business cards they present is really great, with beautiful designs.

You guys all know that my wife and I have season tickets for the Houston Texans. We love the game. And we both love watching the away games as well -- not to mention the out-of-town team one of my former students plays for. That is why we are looking at this DIRECTV NFL Sunday Ticket Offer -- it makes the package even more affordable for fans like us, who have a lot invested in the game.

Let's be honest about credit cards -- they are the avenue to so much information about us, and can be both a source of financial opportunity and financial danger. I mean, one need only consider the recent breaches of credit card security to realize that they can be the vehicle to your personal information, and allow great financial mischief to be made in your life. On the other hand, some credit card issuers monitor for fraud and act if they see strange transactions, like one of mine did in the days before Hurricane Rita, since my purchase of evacuation supplies and material to board up my house were seen as unusual by my standard of usage. They called me to make sure that the transactions were authorized. That shows that some companies are out to protect our interests when they coincide with their interests -- such as fraud prevention.

Sometimes you just need to borrow money.

Let's face it -- cars and houses alone are purchases that almost any person will need a few (or more than a few) years to pay off. After all, do who has a spare 100K sitting around to pay cash for a new home -- or even 15-25K for a car? Heck, if you are like most average middle class people, there just isn't that sort of extra money available, even if you break open the kids' piggy banks and search beneath the cushions of the living room furniture..

And it is times like that when you find yourself seeking loans to help you make that special purchase.

Maybe you need a Secured Loans for a particularly valuable purchase. Maybe you are looking at car loans or mortgages, trying to find the perfect deal. Perhaps you are just looking the options available in UnsecuredLoans to meet a temporary need.

Regardless, you may want to consider SelectLoans.co.uk when next you need a loan.

I'll admit it -- I'd never been to a baby shower before a couple of months ago, when the faculty threw one for one of my closest friends at school. It was sort of an interesting experience for me.

If you are looking for Baby Shower Decorations, might I suggest that PartyPail.com is a good place to start looking? Now I'll tell you, I'm amazed at the range of Baby Shower Party Supplies that are out there. They offer the Radio Flyer Red Wagon Baby Shower package, which seems rather amusing to me.

What can I say about the folks at PayPerPost? Here they are, trying to create a whole new paradigm for advertising in the blogosphere, but they still have time to poke a little fun at themselves and the enterprise they are trying to launch. That speaks of a confidence that you have to respect -- and a humility that one has to love. That project is lovingly named RockStartup, and is the company's venture into internet a reality tv.

What do i like about RockStartup? Well, to be honest, I like the opportunity to see some of the folks I am working with. You know, Ted may be a bit of a geek, but he is a geek with a sense of humor and a drive to make his company work against the odds. And the willingness to give us all a bit of a glimpse inside the serious (yet sometimes zany) world of PPP is really sort of a blessing for me.

Oh, and about episode 21 (which you can see up above) , let me warn you -- it is the outtake/blooper reel for the show through the first 20 episodes. I guess I knew that this collection of errors, muffs, and screw-ups had to exist, but I hadn't given it much thought. On a personal level, to see the pratfalls of familiar episodes was sort of neat.

By the way, folks, you can now receive RockStartup in HD if you sign up for video iTunes.

If you had told me 20 years ago that Starbucks would become the international mega-trend that it has, I never would have believed you. People paying so much for coffee? Never happen. But it did. I wish I had been in a position to get in on the ground floor of that one.

Well, coffee remains a hot consumer product, both bought in coffee boutiques and made at home. But is there really a difference in what you are brewing? I've always wondered? And, of course, I've always wondered about the health issues.

Well, there is a coffee out there that is healthier than the rest -- 1st Healthy Coffee. And know what? You can get in on this new product as one of the early promoters. You can make money with this non-acidic, that contains no chemicals. Imagine a coffee that gives you an energy boost with less caffeine, and that costs less per cup than the other brands you might use. Sound like a product you would like to buy? One you would like to sell? What if I also told you it contains over 200 health enhancing nutrients and over 50 all natural and organic antioxidants, so that you know it promotes health. Would you be interested then?

Well, here's your chance to check out 1st Healthy Coffee for yourself. Visit their site to turn more, and there is even an opportunity to try some free. Then, if you are interested, you can become a customer and/or participate in their referral program.

I love that special lady in my life, and I sometimes like to get her something a little alluring and sexy as a gift -- well, to be honest, as a gift for us both. But it isn't always easy to find Plus Size Lingerie.

And I'll be honest, there is the modesty issue to consider -- baby doll outfits are out. But something longer might be just the bill. Or maybe something that is less revealing but certainly feminine.

The reality is that every woman wants to be sexy sometimes (and to know that we still find them irresistible) -- and there are places online for discrete shopping to help towards that end. So gentlemen, why don't you consider buying a gift of Sexy Lingerie for the woman in your life, just to let her know she is still every bit as beautiful as the day you married her.
