			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A while back Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert sent me 1 ounce of silver after I was the 1000 commentator in a blog article on their site.  This is not just any silver coin. This is the prized Silver Keiser. I didn&#8217;t even know that I had won until Stacy informed me by email, asking why I had never claimed it. Lucky me she is on the ball, because I had missed it.</p>
<p>She got my contact info and then mailed the coin out to me. After about 1 month I got an email from her asking if I had received it. I hadn&#8217;t and let her know. She informed me that many prize winners from North America had reported the same thing, so she sent me another one via registered mail. While it took about 3 weeks to arrive, it did, and I added this beauty to my collection:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.tatumba.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/maxkeiser.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-7129" title="maxkeiser" src="http://www.tatumba.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/maxkeiser.jpg" alt="" width="495" height="712" /></a></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Click to enlarge</strong></h2>
<p>So someone in either the post office or border security is stealing valuables from people&#8217;s mail. If you see one of these coins in a friend or family members possession, and that person works for the post office or border security, then chances are they stole it. Please report them to me so I can bestow upon them the bad karma they so very much deserve.</p>
<p>Thank you Max and Stacy. Much appreciated! Visit their website at <a title="Max Keiser Dot Com" href="http://maxkeiser.com" target="_blank">MaxKeiser.com</a>. Their program, &#8220;The Keiser Report&#8221;, is seen on RT TV by over 200 million viewers per week. Truth on the state of the economy is what they provide. Something that you will never see of the corrupt corporate news in North America.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love to play with my balls&#8230;my gold BuckyBalls that is. I got these damn things for Christmas and have quickly become addicted. The first thing I set out to do was to destroy them and then restore them to their original factory setting&#8230;a cube.</p>
<p>I messed with it for about one day and then said to myself that YouTube knows all. I found a lot of videos claiming that they had the best, the fastest, and/or the easiest method for building a cube. I tried their methods and found that my fingers were too big to wrap the balls in a tube around my fingers and then pull them apart and build the cube.</p>
<p>So, in Mad Ape fashion, I decided to do it myself and invent my own method. First I got good&#8230;next I got faster. I figured that there were a few more BuckyBallers out there who grew tired of trying to make a cube out of their own balls, thus I decided to make a couple of &#8216;How To&#8217; YouTube Videos of BuckyBall Cube Building 101.</p>
<p>My first method is sort of fast but is so damn easy even a Cave Ape could do it&#8230;So I did. Anyone can use this method to build a cube. Watch and learn:</p>
<p><center><br />
<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/zO8uPBKlHwI" frameborder="0" width="475" height="352"></iframe></center>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So now that you have mastered my first method, or felt cocky enough to skip it and just jump to the next level, may I suggest attempting another, much faster, method. You should be able to do this in under 60 seconds. The trick to this quicker method is making sure that when you are applying the palm pressure that you do not press too hard on your BuckyBalls or they will break formation. I don&#8217;t know about you, but I certainly do not want broken balls.</p>
<p><center><br />

<p>So how did you do?</p>
<p>Are you faster than me? So how about that we create our own new Guinness Book of World Records record for the world&#8217;s fastest BuckyBall Cube builder. No cheating now&#8230;don&#8217;t speed up your video. Almost all other YouTube videos speed up to fast forward through the boring parts. Mine were recorded as it happened with no doctoring.</p>
<p>Just so you know, I am holding back in this video. Come on take me on. I need a challenge. Have you got what it takes punk? Well do ya?</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t have your own set of BuckyBalls? Most novelty stores carry them, but if you are too lazy to go to the store&#8230;.look below and pick a set of you own.</p>

<div class="productDescriptionWrapper"><span class="h1"><strong>Q&amp;A with Barrington Irving</strong></span><br />
<em>Barrington Irving is the Guinness World Record holder for &#8220;Youngest Person to Fly Solo Around the World.&#8221;</em><img style="float: right; border: 1px solid black; margin: 5px;" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/books/hachette/images/guiness_a_plus.jpg" alt="Barrington Irving" /><strong>How did you come up with the idea of flying solo across the world?</strong>I wanted to inspire other kids to pursue careers in aviation and aerospace so I thought this might be an amazing feat that would inspire them.</p>
<p><strong>How do you feel about achieving a Guinness World Record?</strong></p>
<p>Awesome, unreal, humbled, and inspired to accomplish even greater feats. Records are made to be broken. I’m just glad I have two records, and one of them&#8211;being the first black pilot to circle the world&#8211;no one will be able to ever break because I was the first.</p>
<p><strong>What is your earliest memory of Guinness World Records?</strong></p>
<p>I remember as a kid that I could never afford to purchase the Guinness records books, but every time I went shopping with my mom, I would read through the Guinness book, wondering what amazing talent I might have myself. Little did I know someday my own name would appear there!</p>
<p><strong>Who do you consider to be your inspiration for this achievement?</strong></p>
<p>My inspiration was my Jamaican parents for working so hard when they came to the U.S. and providing me an opportunity to receive an education. In addition, my mentor Capt. Gary Robinson inspired me to fly and Fabio Alexander, my first donor, was the first person to believe in my record-setting flight.</p>
<p><strong>Can you share with us any moments that were scary or dramatic? Did you have a time that you thought you wouldn’t make it? </strong></p>
<p>When I began this historic venture, I immediately realized why the youngest person before me was in his 30’s. The skills, patience, timing, training, and decisions I made at 23 helped me to survive. I almost died encountering a sandstorm at 17,000 feet over Saudi Arabia; crossing the North Atlantic on a 12.5-hour flight; encountering a monsoon over Vietnam (when I dropped my airplane from 20,000 feet to 9,200 ft., almost colliding into a mountain); and crossing the Bering Sea, when my aircraft was heavily covered with ice and I landed with only 12 minutes of fuel remaining on an island only one mile long!</p>
<p><strong>Inversely, when did you realize that you were going to make it around the globe?</strong></p>
<p>I never really felt comfortable until I reached Alaska and I saw US cable TV. <em>(laughs)</em></p>
<p><strong>How did you keep yourself alert and focused during the flight?</strong></p>
<p>Eating sunflower seeds, drinking energy drinks, and relying on my own sheer will. Tricking myself mentally is what kept me focused. I took off my watch and said to myself: &#8220;No more will I worry about the time, I determine time now.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What happened to your plane once your trip was finished?</strong></p>
<p>I’ve used it to fly 600 kids around the U.S.</p>
<p><strong>What did your family and friends think of your expedition?</strong></p>
<p>Crazy, daring, perplexed, scared&#8230; now they are glad to know I’m a Guinness World Record Holder!</p>
<p><strong>What are your plans for the future?</strong></p>
<p>I plan to provide a teaching experience like no other from a flying classroom, 40,000 feet in the air, helping kids explore math and science.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>9/11 was an inside job and there is 100% proof of that FACT. My brother-in-arms in the Infowar, <a title="The Telecrap Urinal" href="http://www.thetelecrapurinal.com"><strong>the Telecrap Urinal</strong></a>, put up a YouTube Video back in March with the proof. It is a lecture by <a title="AE911Truth.org" href="http://www.AE911Truth.org" target="_blank"><strong>Richard Gage of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth</strong></a>.</p>
<p>The evidence is overwhelming. There was military-grade nano thermite and nano thermate in all dust samples taken from the World Trade Center collapse. Further, the only country capable of delivering this product, in quantities sufficient enough, was the USA.</p>
<p>Who was responsible? I don&#8217;t know but whoever it was had to have military connections. Hundreds, if not thousands of pounds of product was distributed throughout each building, so this was a pre-planned event taking many months, if not years to deploy.</p>
<p>So for the Denialists of this crime, I am giving you a chance to step forward and prove this wrong. I have put up at $500.00 to anyone that can scientifically refute and debunk the following:</p>
<blockquote>
<h1><a title="Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth" href="http://www.thetelecrapurinal.com/news/2010/03/architects-and-engineers-for-911-truth-by-richard-gage/" target="_blank">Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth by Richard Gage</a></h1>
<p>Richard Gage presented overwhelming evidence that the twin towers  and building 7 were brought down by explosives on September 11, 2009.  Using phyical trace evidence, video evidence, and expert analysis,  Richard Gage has broken wide open 9/11.</p>
<p>There is no doubt anymore. 9/11 was an inside job. Nano thermite and  thermate were used to pulverize these buildings, and in the process  murdered thousands of innocent people.</p>
<p>An evil exists within the US Government and the US Military  Industrial Complex aided, in large part, by a co-opted Mainstream Mass  Media.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><p><a href="http://www.tatumba.com/blog/archives/1601"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p></strong></p>
<p>These psychotic mass-murdering pieces of crap need to be held  accountable. Only you can make it happen. A whole new system of  governance has been implemented because of this false-flag attack. A  system that has taken away your civil liberties. Currently you do not  live in a free and open society. You live a police state with an ever  tightening noose. You are being kept in a constant state of fear for one  reason and one reason only. Control. They do not want you to fight  back. They do not want you to figure this out. Well it is too late for  that. The truth can not be altered. Lies can not replace truth.</p>
<p>In honor of the murdered, on that that horrific day, America needs to  rise up and fight back. Enough is enough. Take back your country.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Good News:</strong></p>
<p>For anyone that entered my contest for 1-troy ounce of silver, I do have a winner. His name is Pascal Roget of France. Congratulations to you Pascal, you silver is on the way!</p>
<p><strong>The Bad News:</strong></p>
<p>Unfortunately I am suspending the contest going forward. The reason is simple &#8211; lack of interest. I guess people just were not interested in getting something for free. Live and learn.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">In an effort to promote this site, I am going to give away a one troy ounce bar of silver every month to one lucky winner randomly drawn from my <span style="text-decoration: line-through;"><strong>Ape Head Army mailing list</strong>.</span> <strong>This contest was canceled.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.tatumba.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/pansilver.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-846 aligncenter" title="pansilver" src="http://www.tatumba.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/pansilver.jpg" alt="" width="475" height="500" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The bar of silver you see here is what the winner will receive. It is uncirculated and sealed in plastic so it will not tarnish.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">For as long as you continue to be an Ape Head, your name will be entered into the draw. Further, if you blog about this contest and post the link to your blog post in the comments section of this article, you will receive a second entry.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Since some people are anal about contest rules, I decided on a few:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">1) You can only use 1 email address to register. If you are caught using multiple subscriptions to my Ape Head Army mailing list, you will be disqualified.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">2)  Every time you blog about this contest, or my site in general, you will receive a single entry per blog post. Good, bad, or indifferent, I don&#8217;t care but it must be a unique posting containing at least 1 live link back to this site.</p>
<blockquote style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>YOU MUST BE AN OFFICIAL APE HEAD IN ORDER FOR YOUR BLOG ENTRIES TO COUNT.</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">The posting must be in your own words. It can not be duplicated&#8230;even by you. I am only trying to stop some wing-nut from setting up a free blog and then posting the same post over and over again.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Now in order for me to track your email address for blog posts you <strong>MUST</strong> use the same email address for comment posting that was used for joining the Ape Head Army.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>So based on the above it is possible to have unlimited entries to this contest.</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">3) I will put all email addresses into a hat on the last day of each month and select one winner. That person will be contacted and given 5 days to respond. If you do not claim your prize, I will draw another name, allow a further 5 days, until I have a winner.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I will take care of the shipping costs. I will be using Canada Post standard mail service. If you want something else, then you will have to notify me and pay me for it.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">4) If you win, you agree to me using your name, general location, and/or your website address for promotional purposes on this site.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">5) By entering my contest, that means you will accept email notices from me from time-to-time. I will not share any of your personal information with anyone, unless ordered to do so by a government agency, and then only under a court order.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">You can opt out at any time by canceling your account, however you will no longer be entered into the draw.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">6) I invented this contest out of a desire to boost traffic to my site. I can cancel this contest at anytime. Further any decisions I make are final, and not subject to any BS from anyone.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">7) Contest is open to anyone who wants to enter. If you are under 13 years old then your parent must enter for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just starting out with your blog? Looking for a way to make your blog look more professional but you don&#8217;t have the money? Then how about entering a free contest being sponsored by <a href="http://wp-premiums.com/" title="WP-Premiums.com" target="_blank">WP-Premiums.com</a> and <a href="http://wordpressthemesmarket.com/" title="WordPressThemesMarket.com" target="_blank">WordPressThemesMarket.com</a>?</p>
<p>These two sites have joined forces and are offering a lucky winner one of either their Magazine News or Purple Fever Premium Blogs.</p>
<p align="center"><strong>Magazine News </strong></p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://wp-premiums.com/2008/02/13/win-a-wtm-premium-theme/" title="WP-Premiums.com Contest" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.tatumba.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/wp-premium1.jpg" alt="Magazine News" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><strong>Purple Fever </strong></p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://wp-premiums.com/2008/02/13/win-a-wtm-premium-theme/" title="WP-Premiums.com Contest" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.tatumba.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/wp-premium2.jpg" alt="Purple Fever" /></a></p>
<p>To enter is simple: Simply blog about the contest making sure to link to each website as I did above. Then you should probably head over to each blog and post a comment under each blog entry about the contest.</p>
<p>That way there is an easy way for them to verify your entry.</p>
<p>Hurry and enter as the contest closes on February 26, 2008 at 23:59 (-5 GMT) with the winner to be announced on February 27, 2008.</p>
<p>Tell them the Mad Ape sent you&#8230;</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A blog wants to promote itself and its business directory sites. In exchange for blogging about their site and the contest they are running for the month of February, you can win $500.00 plus a BFG NVIDIA Graphics Card&#8230;like I know what that is.</p>
<p>It sounds important so it must be worth a couple of bucks on eBay.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.businessblogger.net/blog-contest/" target="_blank" title="Blogging Contest - Win $500"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.businessblogger.net/blog-contest/" target="_blank" title="Blogging Contest - Win $500"><img src="http://www.tatumba.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/blogcontest.jpg" alt="Blogging Contest - Win $500" /></a></p>
<p>So what is the catch?</p>
<p>Simple rules really:</p>
<p>1) Link to <a href="http://www.businessblogger.net/blog-contest/" title="Win $500.00 and a graphic card" target="_blank">their contest page</a> so that others will know how to join. &#8211; CHECK</p>
<p>2) Link to <a href="http://www.business-directory.com/" title="www.business-directory.com" target="_blank">www.business-directory.com</a> &#8211; CHECK and write about their February promotion. Ok AHEM AHEM&#8230;All submissions to their directory are free for the month of February &#8211; CHECK</p>
<p>3) The blog entry must be original, not a cut and paste job, and at least 250 words long.</p>
<p>So I guess I have to keep on writing&#8230;.phew&#8230;ok&#8230;The winner will be chosen using some sort of randomizer thingamabob which I don&#8217;t quite understand, but that is ok&#8230;it is supposed to keep everything fair and on the up-and-up.</p>
<p>In all seriousness&#8230;it seems like an easy contest to enter and a well used method to promote a blog. Hopefully they live up to their word and pay out as advertised.</p>
<p>The name of the blog is <a href="http://www.businessblogger.net" title="www.businessblogger.net" target="_blank">www.businessblogger.net </a> The blog offers a lot of information about blogging, branding, business, business web development, contests (duh), domain names, humor, internet marketing, linking strategies, motivation, seo, traffic generation, and WordPress.</p>
<p>The blog may be lacking in the design department but having read some of the content the people behind the site seem like a knowledgeable bunch.</p>
<p>There that more than meets the 250 word count minimum&#8230;I am in the contest now! YEAH! YEAH BABY!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi all.</p>
<p>I have been negligent if my updates to my Blog for the past week. I have been so busy in my day-to-day life that I have been pulling 14 hour days and collapsing in the evenings.</p>
<p>Normally I would say sorry, but I can not bring myself to apologize for working hard. This site has fallen victim to my other activities but as I said when I started this blog, that I would not post everyday.</p>
<p>I know, I know. To be a successful blogger you need to provide regular, informative, and captivating content. I promise to try to do better, but until this site becomes my primary source of income I can not treat it as such.</p>
<p>Oh god, how a pro blogger would rip me to shreds for the candor I have just displayed. To them I say &#8216;Sucks to be Me&#8217;</p>
<p><strong>Contest Update </strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.tatumba.com/blog/archives/110" target="_blank" title="t-shirt"><img src="http://www.tatumba.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/tshirt.jpg" alt="t-shirt" align="left" /></a>Two weeks have passed in my free t-shirt contest and I have selected two winners. The problem is I have contacted each of them with the email address they provided when they registered for my <a href="http://www.tatumba.com/blog/archives/110" title="Feedburner" target="_blank">Feedburner RSS email subscription service</a>. Neither have responded. I don&#8217;t want to publish your email address on here as that would violate my privacy policy so I am at a loss as to how to give you the freebie that you have won.</p>
<p>If you could check your inbox to see if you are a winner, then claim your prize with the instructions I gave you. I will allow 5 more days from today for you to claim your prize at which time I will give them away to someone else.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are the creative type and think that you can design the best WordPress theme then you have a chance to win $1500.00 in cash and prizes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.designvitality.com/blog/wordpress-theme-competition/" target="_blank" title="Design Contest"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.tatumba.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/contest1.jpg" alt="Design Contest" /></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.designvitality.com/blog/wordpress-theme-competition/" title="Win $1000" target="_blank">Designvitality.com</a> is sponsoring the contest with three prizes:</strong></p>
<p>1) Grand Prize Winner wins $1,000.</p>
<p>2) The First Runner Up wins a new 4GB Apple iPhone or a Nintendo Wii</p>
<p>3) The Second Runner Up wins 2 years of Free Web Hosting.</p>
<p><strong>The rules are straight forward:</strong></p>
<p>1) You must design a new WordPress Theme specifically for the competition.</p>
<p>2) The WordPress theme cannot be an old theme, and it cannot be posted anywhere online before they post it in the competition gallery.</p>
<p>3) The theme for your design is to focus on a WordPress blog, and it must function seamlessly with WordPress 2.2.x and up.</p>
<p>4) Your WordPress theme may incorporate plugins, but the plugins must be listed in the WordPress.org <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/" title="plugins" target="_blank">Plugin Directory</a>.</p>
<p>The last date to submit an entry is November 30th, so you better get busy if you want to win.</p>

<p><img src="http://www.tatumba.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/tshirt.jpg" alt="t-shirt" align="left" />They are giving away thousands in prizes in an effort to gain readership. The only thing missing is Michael Buffer calling the fight…</p>
<blockquote><p> “In one corner, hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia, the self-professed dot com mogul….JOHN CHOW.”<br />
“In the other corner, weighing, 170 pounds, all the way from Sears in Moline, Illinois, Mr. Shoemoney himself…JEREMY SCHOEMAKER.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Currently John is in the lead, even though ShoeMoney is offering the bulk of the prizes. This has got me to thinking…less is more!</p>
<p>So not to be outdone and in an effort to increase my readership, I will be giving away 1 free Ape Head t-shirt each week until November 30<sup>th</sup> 2007.</p>
<p>All you have to do to enter is to enter your email address below by midnight, November 30<sup>th</sup>, 2007. You will receive a confirmation email. Once confirmed, you are entered. Limit one entry per person.</p>
