Conan O'Brien is apparently on a mission to cost NBC as much money as possible, before he takes his final Tonight Show bow. Thursday night's offering of senseless spending featured 2009 Kentucky Derby Winner Mine That Bird. Conan said on air that the bit will


Conan's $4.8 Million Mine that Bird Bit: Conan's Mission to Cost NBC Big Money
Date: December 31, 1969
cost NBC a whopping $4.8 million.

Conan claimed that on his final two days on the Tonight Show, "We're going to be having a lot of fun on television." He said the Tonight Show had a lot of surprises planned, that he thought would blow viewers' minds.

As a lead in to the expensive vignette, Conan said that they were going to do what they wanted on the Tonight Show and claimed NBC had to pay for it. He was blunt with his objective: the bits are not necessarily meant to be funny, just hurt NBC's wallet.

What could be more expensive than buying a Kentucky Derby winner? Conan introduced Mine That Bird, dolled up in a mink snuggie. Just to add a little bit more to the cost, Conan had Mine That Bird watching restrictive NFL footage. All for what Conan claims is a $4.8 million cost to NBC.

It is unclear (and slightly doubtful) that Conan actually had the studio purchase Mine That Bird, or if he was just referring to what it would cost to own the racing horse. He also didn't break down the costs of sketch element, so it is uncertain how much the mink horse snuggie or restrictive NFL footage account for that $4.8 million price tag.

On Wednesday's Tonight Show, Conan introduced a $1.5 million bit/character, the 'Bugatti Veyron Mouse'. They had tricked out the Bugatti sports car with whiskers and mouse ears. The cherry on top was when the car played a master recording of The Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction."

ABC News reports that Wednesday night's may have missed the mark in the cost department. Entertainment lawyer Steve Gordon told ABC that NBC had existing agreements with music licensing companies. This would prevent any cost from live or time-delayed performances. It will be interesting to find out if the Mine That Horse sketch misses its estimated $4.8 million.

One of liberal radio's most progressive outlets, Air America Radio, shut down its operations Thursday.
The network was launched in April 2004 and was considered (and billed) as one of the few alternatives to right-wing radio.

"This past year has seen a 'perfect storm' in the media industry generally. National and local advertising revenues have fallen drastically, causing many media companies nationwide to fold or seek bankruptcy protection," says a statement on the company's web site.
Based in New York City, Aitr America was carried by roughly one hundred outlets across the country and featured such celebrated and liberal personalities like Rachel Maddow, Al Franken, Steve Earle, Randi Rhodes, Ron Kuby, rapper Chuck D. and Arianna Huffington.

Franken hosted his own show from 2004-2007 before leaving to campaign for a United States Senate seat in Minnesota, which he won last year after a recount battle. As for Maddow, she moved on to host her own television show on MSNBC.
They stopped airing new programs earlier Thursday afternoon and said it will soon file to be liquidated under Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
The station will broadcast reruns of shows and will completely end those Monday night.
"So we intend a rapid, orderly closure over the next few days," the online statement says.

How to Make Decent Money on the Internet

After years of trying, I think the best thing you can do to make money online is to create a blog over a particular topic where there aren't a lot of competing blogs. For example, there are several tech review blogs that tackle cell phones and laptops but another topic may not have numerous bloggers disseminating information. Try something more obscure that you enjoy.

You definitely want to steer clear from "busy" topics on the web like money and finance, but a website dedicated to a subject that has high search volume with lower competition will serve you well. It's also important that advertisers have a desire for ad space from readers on your website. If you have lots of traffic from people that won't convert to advertisers, your income will be limited.

The primary method of making money for most bloggers is Google AdSense. This advertising program picks up your site's content and in turn produces ads that reflect that content. For example, if you have a site on dog collars, Google AdSense will show dog product related ads and quite probably ads specifically for dog collars. Every time you receive an ad click, Google will deposit a little bit of the advertising money in your account.

If you don't want to make the commitment to purchasing a web host and domain name (the two things needed to start an independent blog), try writing for article sites that share ad revenue with you. The benefit to using these services is you will be immediately writing from large site with credibility.

Hilangin Malas Buat Yang Suka Malas2an

Males-malesan emank enak gan... Palagi kalo gak ada kerjaan... Nah gimana kalo ada kerjaan, tapi kita malah males2an... Hayooo...
Kadang saat kita mau ngelakuin sesuatu, tapi rasanya males ny ampun2an.. Nah males yg buruk kyk gitu mesti qta ilangin gan...
Nich beberapa tips biar agan2 bisa cepet ilangin males, n ready 2 work again...
1. Membasuh muka atau mandi ketika kantuk menyerang. Jangan ampe dikalahin ma rasa malas..

2. Mengubah posisi duduk ketika membaca. Misalnya dari duduk berubah menjadi berdiri, namun disarankan jangan dari duduk terus berbaring bisa berbahaya atau bisa kebablasan tidur.

3. Berpindah dari ruang baca ke kamar yang lain. Kalau sebagai anak kos bisa disiasati, berpindah dari kamar kita ke beranda kos, ruang tamu atau bahkan bisa juga ke dapur.

4. Menghirup udara yang segar dengan cara berdiri di dekat jendela atau membuka jendela-jendela kamar lain untuk menambah kesegaran. Sebagai anak kos bisa disiasati dengan menciptakan aroma terapi, misalnya dengan menyemprot ruangan dengan wangi-wangian dan jika ada kipas angin, bisa menyetel kipas untuk menyebarkan wangi-wangian tersebut ke segala ruang. Karena mungkin tidak semua anak kos mempunyai jendela kamar.

5. Berjalan-jalan sebentar di sekeliling rumah. Bisa diganti dengan kegiatan yang lain misalnya merapikan rak yang berantakan, atau kegiatan yang lain yang bisa menggerakkan otot-otot kita.

6. Berbincang-bincang sebentar dengan keluarga atau teman sekos. Hati-hati jangan sampai lupa tujuan utama dalam berbincang-bincang yaitu untuk menumbuhkan semangat, bukan untuk ngobrol bahkan menghabiskan waktu agan. Ingat akan kerjaan yang menunggu..

7. Berdiri membuat secangkir kopi, teh, susu atau juice untuk menghilangkan kebosanan dan menjernihkan akal.

8. Mengubah kegiatan monoton. Misalny sedang ujian, tapi bosan menghafalkan pelajaran/tugas dapat diganti dengan cara membacanya keras-keras, jika bosan membaca bisa diganti dengan mendengarkan lewat CD ataupun rekaman recorder.
Do Something New... jangan melakukan kegiatan yang itu - itu saja... bosan awal dari kemalasan..

Smoga bermanfaat gan... Kalo ada tips lain silahkan dishare.. ^^

Semua tips diatas tidak akan berguna, jika tidak ada NIAT untuk berubah dalam diri sendiri..

[ Al Hikam ] Bersandar Diri Hanya Kepada Allah [1]

Al Hikam Petuah-Petuah Agung Sang Guru
Syaikh ibn 'Atha'ilah as-Sakandari

[1] Bersandar Diri Hanya Kepada Allah

"Salah satu tanda bergantungnya seseorang kepada amalnya adalah kurangnya raja'(harapan terhadap rahmat Allah) tatkala ia mengalami kegagalan(dosa)"

Penjelasan:
Guna meraih keridhaan Allah Ta'ala, seseorang muslim diwajibkan untuk beramal. Tapi dalam waktu yg bersamaan diwajibkan pula pada kita untuk tidak menyandarkan diri kepada amal itu semata. Semua ini dimaksudkan agar dapat sampai kpd keridhaan-Nya. Karena, betapun seorang Muslim itu telah melakukan suatu amalan, ia tidak akan pernah mampu untuk menunaikan apa yg menjadi 'hak Allah' secara utuh. Jug, ia tidak akan mungkin mampu melakukan seluruh kewajiban secara sempurna sebagai bentuk rasa syukur kepada-Nya.

Oleh karena itu saang guru berkata, bahwa salah satu tanda seseorang menyandarkan diri kepada kekuatan amalnya semata adalah kurangnya raja' (harapan terhadap rahmat Allah Ta'ala) ketika dia melakukan dosa, atau tidak tercapainya tujuan.

Ini sesuai dengan sabda Nabi Shalallahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam.
"Berlakulah kalian setepat dan secermat mungkin. Sebab ketahuilah bahwa amal seseorang dari kalian tidak akan memasukkannya ke dalam surga"

Mereka para sahabat bertanya, 'lalu bagaimana dengan Anda, wahai Rasulullah?'
Beliau menjawab, '"Aku juga, hanya saja Allah meliputiku dengan ampunan dan kasih sayang (rahmat)-Nya"'(Diriwayatkan oleh enam imam hadits)

Allah Ta'ala berfirman:
"Ini merupakan karunia Rabbku untuk mengujiku, apakah aku bersyukur atau justru mengingkari (nikmat2-Nya). Barang siapa bersyukur, maka sesungguhnya ia bersyukur untuk (kebaikan) dirinya sendiri. Dan barang siapa ingkar, maka sesungguhnya Rabbku Mahakaya lagi Mahamulia"an-Naml:40
