Whether you voted for or against Obama he's America's new President!
Get the Barack Obama Book set here Free!
Elections are always exciting and now that we all know who will be in office it's not a bad idea to learn a bit more about him!
He wrote two best selling books.. The Audacity of Hope and Dreams from My Father.
Political or not, and regardless of your beliefs I'd say read them and check them out. What could it hurt really?
Barack Obama published Dreams from My Father which is described as a lyrical, unsentimental, and powerfully affecting memoir, which became a #1 New York Times bestseller when it was reissued in 2004. Dreams from My Father tells the story of Obama’s struggle to understand the forces that shaped him as the son of a black African father and white American mother—a struggle that takes him from the American heartland to the ancestral home of his great-aunt in the tiny African village of Alego.
In The Audacity of Hope, President Obama called for a different brand of politics–a politics for those weary of bitter partisanship and alienated by the “endless clash of armies” we see in congress and on the campaign trail; a politics rooted in the faith, inclusiveness, and nobility of spirit at the heart of “our improbable experiment in democracy.” He explores those forces–from the fear of losing to the perpetual need to raise money to the power of the media–that can stifle even thebest-intentioned politician. He also writes, with surprising intimacy and self-deprecating humor, about settling in as a senator, seeking to balance the demands of public service and family life, and his own deepening religious commitment.

7 of the Best Ads Disguised as Games
Get $250 Cash Towards Xbox 360 Games for Free Here
1. Cool Spot
Spot was the mascot for the soda 7-Up. The game featured a sonic the hedgehog type on environment and was praised for its graphics and levels.
2. Yo! Noid
Noid traversed through New York using a yo-yo to battle his evil duplicate, Mr. Green. Yo! Noid was essentially a modified duplication of another Capcom game from Japan called Kamen no Ninja Hanamaru; the game play remain unchanged, but different facades were applied to the locations.
In case the pizza eating contests at the end of the levels didn’t make the player hungry, the game came with a whopping dollar-off coupon for Domino’s Pizza
3. Kool Aid Man
The game revolved around drinking from a swimming pool full of Kool Aid that also served as Sir Punch’s life bar. The object of the game was to quench the thirst of thirty “Thirsties” using the pool of life matter.
4. Chester Cheetah: Too Cool to Fool and Wild Wild Quest
Neither game was well received; the game play was considered complicated and boring
5. The King Games
The creepy king from Burger King actually did well because of the low price and fun for the games for X-Box in 2006: Pocketbike Racer, Big Bumpin’ and Sneak King.
6. Chase the Chuck Wagon
The game was a maze-based and required the player to guide a dog to attain the glorious chuck wagon. The game was only available through proofs of purchase on the dog food bags.
7. M.C. Kids
In this game, two teenage players enter the McDonalds Fantasy Land to chase after Ronald McDonald’s “fun bag” which has been stolen by Hamburglar. The game was too difficult for younger users and older players didn't like it much.

Hit the Hay (literally) in Germany
Get Free $1000 Visa Gift Card toward Air Line Tickets!
Leave it to the Germans to combine livestock with lodging. In the last decade, hundreds of farms throughout Germany have transformed old barns and potato warehouses into heuhotels, or hay hotels, where guests spend the night on a bed of dried grass.
The eco-friendly hotels (no sheets to change) are cheap and appeal to the country’s many cyclists, nature lovers and outdoorsy families. Sleeping accommodations range from open lofts filled with bales of hay, to feed stalls furnished with wooden platforms. And while a few hotels have added more civilized amenities like privacy curtains and bottles of wine to take to bed, most still require that guests bring their own sleeping bag and towels.
Barnyard nuptials may be a growing trend. At the Kleyhauers Heuhotel in Wangerland, near the North Sea (49-4461-700-092; www.kleyhauers-ferienbauernhof.de), couples can check into the “bridal suite." For 23 euros each, the bride and groom will find a small platform of hay for two, a bottle of sekt and Christmas lights strung in the shape of a heart. (Other hay rooms are 14.5 euros, with breakfast.)
Never mind that there is a herd of smelly cows in the adjoining stall. In the morning, you can enjoy the freshest milk with your muesli.
A list of hay hotels throughout Germany can be found on www.heuhotels.de, a Web site created by an association for farm vacations and hay hotels. Another site, in German only, like the others, www.heuhotelferien.de, specializes in Lower Saxony.
Sounds interesting...definitely not for you if you want pampering though!

Victoria's Secret Wants you to Nominate Schools!
Get a $500 Victoria's Secret Gift Card Here Free
This Year Victoria's Secret Launched its New PINK Collegiate Gear. Victoria's Secret paired up with 33 colleges and universities to create the Collection, which features hoodies, logo tees, sweatpants, shorts, tote bags, and panties ensemble for each school.
Branding arrangements were made through the Collegiate Licensing Company, so schools did not deal directly with Victoria's Secret for the collection.
Many girls though are disappointed not to see their school represented. So for the 2009 collection Victoria's Secret is taking votes and nomination for schools to add! Most of the current schools are also know for sports besides just academics, mainly due to marketing so fans of the school are also part of their market.
You can vote here for schools and shop with a Free $500 Victoria's Secret Gift Card

Get an Awesome Unlocked LG Shine for Free Here!
South Korea's second largest electronics manufacturer by revenue (Samsung is no. 1) reported Monday their third-quarter net profit plunged 93% from a year earlier on hefty foreign exchange-related losses, although a strong performance in mobile phones boosted its operating profit.
This comes during a global economic slow down, fourth-quarter sales growth would slow and it will enter the low-tier handset market next year to drum up weakening demand.
Even though the 4th quarter typically performs well because of the sale of handsets and displays.

Quick things to do to tone up when you have a time crunch and can't (or don't want to) make it to the gym...
What You Need
Yoga mat, stability ball, light dumbbells (two to five pounds)
1. Start with two minutes of jumping jacks to get your heart rate up
2. Do lunges with triceps extensions for two minutes
Grasp a free-weight in each hand. Starting with your arms at your sides and your legs together, take a big step back with one leg, bringing it as far back as it will comfortably go—the toe of that foot should be about two and a half feet behind the heel of the front foot. (The knee of your front leg will be bent and the back leg will be straight. Don’t lock the knee.) Maintaining this lunge position, raise both arms overhead so weights are touching and your upper arms rest next to your ears. With a slow and controlled motion, bend arms at the elbow so your hands end up behind your head and your forearms are parallel to the floor. Slowly return arms to the straight position. Do this for one minute, then alternate legs and repeat.
3. Do a gluteal bridge for one minute
Lie on a mat with your arms straight down by your sides and your knees bent. Keeping your head, shoulders, and arms on the floor, raise your bottom off the mat, bringing your torso in line with your upper thighs so your body forms one straight line from shoulders to knees. As you do this, squeeze your glute muscles and tighten your abs—it should feel like you’re pulling your belly button back toward your spine. Lower back down to the mat and repeat for one minute.
4. Plank for one minute
Get on all fours on your yoga mat, then bend your arms so your forearms rest on the mat, and clasp your hands together. Straighten your legs behind you, keeping your feet together. Look down at the mat, keeping your head and neck in line with your spine. If you’re a beginner, you can bend your legs slightly and rest your weight on your knees. If you’re more advanced, keep your legs straight so all your weight rests on your toes and arms. Maintain this position for one minute.
5. Perform leg raises on stability ball for one minute
Place the stability ball on the floor and bend over it, resting your lower abdomen and upper thighs on top of it and supporting and stabilizing yourself by placing your hands on the floor directly under your shoulders, with your arms straight. Straighten your legs and keep them together. Raise your legs a few inches, then lower them, bending slightly at the hip, while keeping your legs straight and squeezing your glute muscles.
6. Repeat the circuit
7. Up downs
Stand with your legs together, then bend over at the waist as if to touch your toes. Bend your knees and put your hands flat on the floor six- to eight-inches in front of your toes. Keeping your arms straight, jump back with both feet at once, straightening your legs behind you and landing on your toes. Your body will now be in a full, straight-arm plank position. In a smooth, rapid motion, jump forward, returning your feet to the starting position. Repeat for one minute.
Do this circuit and much more with a huge range of fitness gear from the Fitness Giant. Get $500 Gift Certificates Here Free!
