'I Shoulda Been Blonde' by Jenn Frederick Hits Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart 9/20/08
Fresh, brash, sassy, Jenn's offbeat sense of humor allows her to write music that looks at life in a unique way that we all appreciate but few can articulate.
Dean from Perfect Beat says, "Fabulous, intelligent new dance pop single, custom made for club and radio play! One listen and we're already in love with Jenn. She's not just a pretty face but a seriously talented singer and songwriter whose debut single sounds like a bona-fide smash. Cleverly tongue in cheek lyrics (with a nod and a wink to Madonna) take flight on a terrific, Euro-tipped dance production that's sent soaring by the masterful Dave Aude remix...there's also a...sizzling...retro mix from Twisted Dee. Additional mixes from Sherooz aim for some electro punches just to make sure that all the trendy dance bases are covered. OOOOeeeee and then some."

Best People No Longer Work in Big Companies
"Press '1' to listen to five more voice menus. If this is an emergency, please hold forever for the next available operator…."
If you hate phone menus, you're not alone. When big companies saw data proving that up to 70 percent of callers tried to zero out (press "0") to reach a live operator, they did what you'd expect. Instead of getting live operators to answer the phones, they disabled the zero out function.
From nickel-and-diming airlines to gouging gas prices, from "free" checking accounts that charge for checkbooks to pointless point programs (50 percent of points are never redeemed), big companies are disconnected.

- With local monopolies like Bellsouth already deregulated and soon-to-be deregulated monopolies like FPL and Comcast continuing to filter billions of dollars in advertising toward their customer acquisition and retention, one South Florida marketing firm is capitalizing by creating their very own customer acquisition powerhouse and not spending a penny in advertising.

Valuation Note - Gold and Silver Mining Expert/Award Winning Journalist Describes Soltera Mining Corp. as "Seriously Inexpensive"
Precious Metals Review of Soltera Mining Inc. (OTCBB:SLTA) provides insight into the opportunity afforded investors as Soltera focuses on moving forward on the gold-rich El Torno project in the NW Argentina. This exciting exploration venture is the subject of a recently published article by regular Kitco contributor, gold and silver mining expert, journalist David Bond. Precious Metals Review has published a synopsis of the article and provides full text of the aforementioned subject article.
The full review with chart may be seen at http://preciousmetalsreview.com/PMreview011108.PDF
Excerpts:
"$380 million worth of gold for $21 million. At 50 cents a share, seems like a no-brainer to us. ... Soltera became publicly traded on the OTC:BB as SLTA in mid-2007 and currently stands with 42.5 million shares outstanding (26.5 million of which are restricted at the moment). In this current crazy market milieu, Soltera currently can be had for a niggardly 50 cents. Which puts Soltera, with a market cap of a measly $21 million or so, in charge of at least $380 million worth of Argentine gold."
"Puma drilled out, and Penoles subsequently inferred, a resource of de minimus 500,000 ounces of gold (historic non 43-101 numbers), accompanied by silver in a 1:1 ratio, based on a quartz vein system measuring 1.3 km in length and 100 meters in depth, with assays averaging 23 grams/tonne. Penoles further inferred that the vein, which is open at strike and depth, could run as long as 2.5 km and extend as deep 400 meters with the potential for more than 2 million ounces of gold. Grab samples have run as high as 130 grams/tonne disseminated Au in the quartz".
"The El Torno property which we toured with Soltera President and CEO Dr. Fabio Montanari (along with our favourite Swiss, Georg Stangel of Stein-am-Rhein), was sporadically surface-mined by the Incas, then the Spanish and the Jesuits after the New World was discovered by Old Europe, mostly for small nuggets by trenching. A 750-meter adit was driven onto the property by previous explorers, which we explored with the aid of carbide lamps - everybody in Wallace has a carbide lamp on his mantel or on a book shelf, but this was the first time we'd ever actually used one..."

Local fitness expert Eric, Bonilla has information every dieter needs to know: Halloween is when the holiday weight gain really starts. While December is usually the month blamed for holiday weight gain, Bonilla warns those wanting to lose weight that thanks to Halloween the pounds actually start to get packed on in late October.
"The amount of candy that people consume is alarming," Bonilla was quoted as saying. "One of the main problems is the smaller 'snack sizes' that the candy manufacturers have made available. Eating several 'mini' chocolate bars is something people see as 'ok' because of their smaller size."
