Inflatable Photo Studio.

Jazzy — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 19:14:58 +0000

‚ÄúThe large studio has two entrances at either side made by slits in the plastic. Re-inforced flooring help to prolong the studio‚Äôs longevity. An air vent is on the left side to allow for inflow of air from the fan that can be removed to or away from the model. The fan for the large studio needs to provide at least 2250 cubic feet of air per minute. This is standard on most drum fans that are roughly 24 inches in diameter.‚Äù¬† via GG

Ivanka Trump Pulls the “Trump Card”

admin — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 16:53:09 +0000

Ivanka Trump is on that level of success that some of us dream about: Mogul status in your twenties. However, in her new book, The Trump Card: Playing to Win in Work and Life, she lets her readers know that accomplishments are attainable at a young age.

Don’t be thrown by the modelesque features and her uber rich dad (Real Estate mogul, Donald Trump). Ivanka is smart, independent and handles her business. She is Trump Organization’s vice president of development and acquisitions and co-founder of The Trump Hotel Collection. This busy lady even made time to the launch of her very profitable jewelry collection. Yes, must learn all I can from this chica.

This book is meant for the ladies but I am sure fellas can find some nuggets of wisdom as well.

Read an expert of Trump Card on¬† Simon & Schuster.

Advertising on NBA Jerseys?

Jazzy — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 12:38:13 +0000

According to the rumor mill, we may be seeing advertisements on NBA practice jerseys in the near future. The NBA Deputy Commissioner has been quoted as saying:

‚ÄúWe are operating a diverse business all around the world,‚Äù Silver says. ‚Äú(The sponsored game jersey) is a well-established practice in other countries. Ultimately, I think our fans will come to accept it.‚Äù

This could get tricky, especially when companies like Viagra and Colt 45 start showing up wanting ad spaces.

LayOff. MoveOn.

Jazzy — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 15:20:29 +0000

One of my good friends was just laid off on her day off…yes, I know, lame. Anyhow, when I came across this site, I immediately thought of her. LayOffMoveOn is a blog cluster that gives people an open space to tell their absurd tales of unemployment as well as gain support. After you have vented, it also offers a job search function. Brilliant. Killing two birds with one stone.

Project Hello.

Jazzy — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 06:42:35 +0000

Project Hello is a random act of kindness that’s aim is to give homeless individuals a name. It is a collection of photos of homeless individuals with ‘Hello my name is…’ signs. A lot of times we are guilty of slapping a label on those who are wanderers in the streets, beggars on the subway and sleeping in cartons. Instead, we need to make a conscious effort to remember that they are somebody’s sister…somebody’s mother…somebody’s child….

They are YOU. They have a name. And it’s our responsibility to look past their situation and see them as individuals who deserve dignity and compassion.

SuperHero Supplies.

Jazzy — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 06:31:07 +0000

Brooklyn houses a lot of things, but one incredible surprise for me was the SuperHero Supply Co., which sells everything from X-Ray vision to Speed of Light Spray. You can also order a Certificate of Superheroism to display on your mantle for all of your comic book friends. Don’t fret, the money isn’t going to waste, the entire project is said to be organized by 826NYC, a non-profit that has offered over one thousand students opportunities to improve their writing at their center.

Pink Slip Mixers.

Jazzy — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 05:03:36 +0000

Pink Slip Mixers are networking groups for mid to upper level professionals who have been or are getting ready to be pink-slipped. They also welcome any business minded individuals who are looking to make a career change. With the way the economy is, and the lack of jobs available in the market, I am honestly shocked that an idea like this didn’t come along earlier. With over 600 members, it seems to be doing quite well.

The next mixer is in Hollywood on February 18th at 6pm. Please RSVP!

Pour Some Out For Morris Brown.

Jazzy — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 08:14:46 +0000

According to Essence:

Morris Brown College, a historically Black university in Atlanta, will more than likely not reopen its doors next month for spring semester, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. After continued financial problems for the last few years, the 127-year-old institution has no funds left to pay faculty and staff salaries. The school is sinking in $380,000 of unpaid water bills, along with a hefty debt of $1.5 million dollars, following embezzlement and other alleged crimes by former administrators. The city has cut off water to the college.

New York’s iPod Tax.

Jazzy — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 04:11:46 +0000

Yahoo reported that Gov. David Paterson has proposed what is being called the ‘iPod Tax’, which would impose a 4% taxation on downloaded music and other “digitally delivered entertainment services.” There also would be higher taxes on gas, taxi rides, cable and satellite TV service, cigars, beer, movie and sports tickets, and health spa visits, to name a few items. WTF?

One Very, Lonely Calorie.

Jazzy — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 00:05:24 +0000

Pepsi may have gone too far this time, pushing the advertising envelope by unleashing an ad campaign based around a suicidal calorie, who is trying to end his life in some very graphic, and violent ways. This is quite disturbing for me, as Pepsi has always been a household name in my family. Branding is everything and I am not sure I am comfortable with my kids, let alone any other ankle biters around me, subscribing to the idea that suicide=humor. I encourage everyone to click the link below to see the other images, as they are far more graphic than this one. What happened to family friendly advertising?
