lil' things made them rich !! but how ? I'll tell you ;))

You don’t have to be an adult to have an entrepreneurial mind, let alone a millionaire mind. Young adults like Fraser Doherty, Cameron Johnson, as well as Catherine and Dave Cook have become entrepreneurs and millionaires at an early age and they are continuing to prosper and do extremely well. Even though their names have not yet appeared on the front of Forbes magazine, it is clear that they have chosen the right path towards becoming wealthy and independent individuals. They were confident with their ideas right from the start, made it a business reality, and now they are all earning a fortune.

A 9-year old entrepreneur

Cameron Johnson is probably the most outstanding example of all of them. When he was only nine years old, he used Photoshop for creating birthday invitation designs. This was his first project which soon became famous in his neighborhood and he started receiving orders. Two years later, he used the money he saved to officially launch a proper business which he called Cheers and Tears. Later on, his younger sister offered him her Ty Beanie Babies, a stylish doll collection that was very much in demand at that time, for $100. He sold the dolls through eBay for 1,000. Because of this huge return on investment he decided to make bulk purchases from the manufacturer and re-sell them on eBay and on his website; Cheers and Tears as well.

In less than a year he was able to save up $ 50,000 which he used to finance his new undertaking, the My EZ Mail. This business deals with a service of forwarding emails – a venture which gave him $ 3,000 per month in advertising revenue.

He mentioned in an interview with Forbes, “As a 15 year old I received checks of between $300,000 and $400,000 per month,” and added “Before my high school graduation, my fortune was valued at more than $ 1 million.” He is now 23 years and has a lot of business plans in mind. He spends his time on lectures and on the promotion of his new book. He also wants to encourage other young individuals by saying, “Do not be afraid of rejection. Do not be afraid to ask.”

A “sweet” fortune

 Another young successful entrepreneur is Fraser Doherty. Unlike Cameron, Fraser got famous for a recipe from his grandmother, SuperJam jams in 2002. He started his business at his parents’ house in Edinburgh, Scotland. His first customers were also his friends and neighbors, but later on he had too many orders which led him to rent a food processing factory for a few days every month.

He left school when he was 16 to focus on his business. In 2007, his products were displayed in chain supermarkets found in United Kingdom; Waitrose, and Tesco. He had to borrow $900,000 from the bank to support the business. He used the money to rent new factories to be able to produce new flavors and hire 200 employees. Doherty’s company continues to grow. According to him, the secret to his success is having fun in what you do, and that is what he wishes to share as encouragement to other young entrepreneurs.

There’s money on the Internet

Siblings Catherine and Dave Cook made money online at the age of 15 and 17. Their older brother Geoff is a web developer and with his help and $250,000, they launched MyYearbook.com. It is like an online yearbook, similar to Facebook and MySpace, which has more than three million users and has a market value of over a million dollars.

Still another teenage millionaire is the boy behind Dubit Limited, Adam Hildreth Ashley Qualls. Dubit Limited is an online marketing page which is committed to position companies like Coca Cola among British youngsters. Before he reached 20, the project had already accumulated about six million dollars. At age 14, he started Whateverlife.com. He also made templates, icons, and images for MySpace. Many investors have been interested in buying his business but he keeps turning down the offers.   

These young people serve as an inspiration to others. Opportunities are made available to anyone, but only a few take it. Make use of your fresh ideas, start a business of your own at an early age, and hopefully become a millionaire like these boys and girls, before the age of 20 .

Real Haunted house Its a real experience shared by . . .

I use to live in a haunted house. I was living there for over 20 years.. It was a weird and eery place i must admit. I never believed in Ghost before but now i do. Your probably thinking.. "oh my god this girl is crazy" well let me tell you this.. I'm not crazy and this is no lie.. i wish it wasn't true.. but it is true.. My house was so possessed.. I was living with my brothers, and sister and my parents at the time.. Weird things would happen.. The razor (mens shaver)use to turn on its self.. my brother saw that happening.. he looked at the razor and he was like what the???? so he saw the razor and he turned it off !! 2 seconds later it turned on again.. once again he turned it off again.. so he decided to take the battery out................ what happen, it was still on!! you probably think that something is wrong with the razor.. well that is impossible if you ask me.. my brothers room was the most coldest place.. i was too scared to go in there!!! i get goose bumps thinking about it seriously!! Ok one night my other brother.. i have 2 brothers who were sharing rooms.. they had a bunk bed... My youngest brother, different to the other one.. he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night... he was always scared to turn off the light so he would leave his lamp light on......... suddenly in the middle of the night.. his computer was off!!! and what happen was..... he heard noise! he looked at his computer... it was the keypad........... it looked like someone was typing but the computer was off and no one was there!!!! some kind of force kept hitting the button.......... it continued on and on and on... ever since then, i was like so scared to go past the room....... I also so with my own bare eyes, the radio turning on and off by its self, the window opening and closing by its self, the bath towel getting pulled of the shelf, the blinds opening flipping up its self, hearing noises.............. I was walking past my broters and my parents room to go to the bathroom.. and i looked in my parents room...... i saw a black figure in the room, it looked like me dad or something but it was black.. so i knew it wasnt him, and i heard soft sounding music coming out of the room.........which totally freaked me out because there was no radio there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i quickly called my brothers and sister, and my parents......... when they went to look, there was nothing there......... plus no music was on, no radio.. nada!!!! I also have experienced my bed shaking.. it was shaking from the top!! oh god i nearly had a heart attack when it happen.. i also felt like someone was choking me.......... and every night i always here footsteps, and weird erry noises, and shadows of people walking............... but one day something extradinary happen to me!!! i was trying to sleep and i felt a force go in to me.. i was sleeping.. and suddenly saw a vision of dead bodies, and heard laughter.. i got up, and didnt feel like myself at all... it was a bad experience!! i felt like something was there.. i wanted to kill myself but it didnt happen, but seriously everytime i close my eyes.. i keep having visions and voices in my head.. and im not crazy......... We had to seek help, and now our house is nice and quiet!!

And here we continue... seeking glimpses of the truth... sharing our thoughts and experiences... pondering questions like, "Is there an invisible world around us which includes beings and entities we cannot see?" and "Is there something else beyond this life we see? What lies beyond the Grave?"
Most people know of at least one ghost story that has been told as being true within their family. Many of us even remember living near a haunted house when we were young. As children we tend to believe these ghost stories are real, but by the time we grow up we often consider ghosts to be as mythical as Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny or the Great Pumpkin.
Humans have always been both fascinated and afraid of the unknown. Even during ancient times people experienced encounters with the paranormal and shared their stories with others.
Hook up ! We aren't done yet ;)

At True Ghost Tales we delve into the supernatural with visitor submitted true ghost stories, ghost pictures, haunting articles, EVPs, poltergeists, werewolves and more paranormal topics. We have a lot of resources for ghost hunters and everyone interested in the paranormal world. The blog is updated every day with new ghost stuff. We also have an archived section of ghost stories and for those of you who like to interact with others who are into the paranormal we have a forum

However we may explain the supernatural world, nothing prevents us from being intensely interested in real true ghost stories, haunted houses, and the realm of the supernaturalIn different stories, ghosts have been described as being benevolent, benign, or malevolent. A benevolent ghost seems to want to help or protect in some way while a malevolent spirit will seek to inflict harm. Benign ghosts are usually indifferent to, or unaware of, the living.

Types of Hauntings

Residual Haunting

The most prevalent type of haunting, by far, is referred to as a residual haunting. In this type of haunting the ghostly energy goes through a cycle of actions over and over again. It's like a video clip that repeats itself in a loop. Oftentimes this plays out at a specific time as though it were following a schedule. Most commonly the scene played out will be that of a tragic event, such as a death. This type of haunting is more like a psychic impression of energy than an actual haunting by a presence or entity. Many true stories seem to describe this type of occurrence.

Intelligent Haunting

The second classification of haunting is known as the Classic or Intelligent Haunting. In an Intelligent Haunting the spirit, or ghost, demonstrates an intelligence and an awareness of its surroundings. These ghosts have been known to communicate with humans and to interact with their environment. In this type of haunting it is common for objects to be moved. There have been reports of ghosts making noises, such as rapping or banging on walls, slamming doors, or making footsteps. Ghosts have been known to move things around, or even to hide objects. They may even turn light switches on and off. This type of ghost will often manifest the personality of someone who has died. Smells and odors that were commonly present with the person when they were still living, such as tobacco, perfume, or flowers, often occur in these hauntings.

Paranormal Investigation Techniques & Equipment

More and more people are wanting to do their own paranormal investigating. The popularity of shows such as "Ghost Hunters" has everyone wanting to find their own proof of the paranormal. If one is seriously wanting to investigate a haunting, there are several things that are important to know... and many misconceptions that need to be clarified.

Read Paranormal Investigation Techniques & Equipment

There are many aspects to paranormal investigating - client interviews, walk-through of the property, understanding the equipment that is being used ( Paranormal Investigation Techniques and Equipment ) and what naturally causes certain anomalies or sounds to show up, and hours of reviewing any video or audio data for every hour of investigation time, just to name a few.

 i got many more stories to tell but it will take me awhile to type it up.. but i hope this wasn't too boring..

MJ foreva. . .

Considered one of the top pop stars of all time, Michael Jackson has been known for various music recordings such as Bad and Dangerous. Numerous other songs would push Jackson into the fame that few will ever own as their own but his best selling album Thriller would be remembered as a Jackson hit that made music video history.
Michael Jackson is pop culture and in the eighties, there wasn’t anyone who could claim the kind of success that Michael Jackson possessed. His dance and moves were talked about throughout the world by every teenager that loved his music. The moonwalk and the robot became exciting moves that made it to the hip hop clubs throughout the country while his music blared through radios and car stereos around the globe.
Jackson would move on to claim thirteen Grammy Awards and the World Music Awards would later announce in 2006 that Michael Jackson sold over 750 million music units worldwide. With his charitable contributions and his active pursuits for humanitarian movements Jackson even earned a Nobel Peace Prize Nomination.
Michael Jackson was one of ten children and would later become the brother who would carry the early work of the Jackson Five to fame in 1966. It was in 1968 that the band gained the attention of Berry Gordy and Motown Records.
Michael Jackson took the lead with the Jackson Five until they departed Gordy’s Motown. After turning to CBS Records, Michael Jackson stepped out entirely on his own choosing a solo career that truly launched with his album Off the Wall. The album would later win Michael his first awards as a stand alone artist at the American Music Awards in 1980.

Michael Jackson’s career has been one of trials and tribulations covered with career highs and lows. He’s faced scrutiny with documentaries like Living with Michael Jackson while the media has followed his every move including a baby dangling incident when he held one of his children off of a balcony in Berlin.

Michael Jackson is said to be the biggest musical success since Elvis Presley which is ironic because Lisa Marie Presley, Elvis Presley’s only child, did marry Michael Jackson and remained his wife for two years. After the Presley-Jackson divorce, Jackson married Debbie Rowe who he later divorced in 1999.

Michael Jackson was accused of child molestation in 1993 and in 2003. Jackson was acquitted on all child molestation charges brought against him in 2005. Still, the stigma follows Michael Jackson who is a hands-on parent but ready to step back into the music business with a new entertainment project in the works. Unfortunately, his beloved California Neverland Ranch faces foreclosure while he remained at his rented home in Washington DC.

Michael died of suspected cardiac arrest on 25 June 2009. He was living in a rented home in Los Angeles when authorities were notified that Jackson was unresponsive. He was pronounced dead at the UCLA Medical Center after medical personnel tried to rescucitate him for an hour. He was preparing for a grueling schedule of over fifty concerts in an upcoming revival tour. Jackson leaves behind three young children and over $400 million in debt.

Science That'll Take You on the Ride of Your Life !

            Did you know that a roller coaster is more than just a scary – or fun – ride in an amusement park? That's right. While roller coasters are fun to ride, they are also very carefully designed using the science of physics.


Do you know physics is all about?
Physics is the scientific study of many things, such as motion, force, energy, light and sound. It includes gravity, friction and speed – all things that contribute to the way roller coasters operate.
Let's look a bit closer at how roller coasters came to be and what causes them to do the things they do. 
                                                The First Roller Coaster :

       The very first roller coaster wasn't like the ones we ride today – sleek metal cars travelling upside down and sideways at high speeds over water and way up in the sky. Instead, the original "scream machines" (as they are sometimes called) were huge wooden sleds that slid down ice-covered mountains !

       Roller Coaster Rides Get More Daring – and Faster!

            In the 1920s, roller coasters were a big draw at many large amusement parks, including ones in Chicago and on the beaches. Some reached speeds of well over 60 miles per hour. At this time, roller coasters were made out of wood.

  IN DISNEY LAND ;

            Roller coasters and amusement parks in general had a rough time of it. Many closed. But then, a man named Walt Disney had a dream – he wanted to build an amusement park that would be the greatest one of them all – and he did: Disneyland.

Theme Parks – and Coasters, Everywhere!

             Many followed Disney's lead and now there are theme, or amusement, parks everywhere. And, as new parks opened, new types of roller coasters were developed. Today, many roller coaster rides are much different from the original free-fall down a frozen slope comprising the first coaster.

The Scientific Theory Behind the Coasters

Roller coasters usually don't have engines. Surprised? Seems hard to believe, but most of them travel safely around the track strictly by using gravity, friction and speed.

How does that work?

It converts potential energy to kinetic energy – all of the energy a roller coaster needs to run around the tracks.

Huh?

Potential energy is easy to understand. It's the amount of energy an object possesses relative to it's mass and how high it is from the ground. Take a chapter from Issac Newton and drop an apple to the ground from a height of one foot, then two, then three and so on. Each time you drop the apple, you will have a more forceful landing because the apple's potential energy increases each time.

 

Fastest Roller Coasters

Two of the fastest roller coasters are Steel Force and the Desperado.  The Desperado is in Buffalo Bills Resort, and Steel Force is in Dorney Park.  They both go 80 miles per hour.  They are the fastest coasters out of steel and wooden roller coasters.  The fastest looping roller coaster is the Viper.  It goes 70 miles per hour.

Tallest Roller Coasters

The two tallest roller coasters are Steel Force and the Desperado.  They are 225 feet tall.  They are the tallest out of wooden and steel roller coasters.  The tallest wooden coaster is Hercules.  It is 175 feet tall.  The first coaster to top 200 feet was Magnum XL-200.  There are only seven roller coasters currently operating that reach 200 ft. tall.  They are Magnum XL-200, The Pepsi Max Big One, The Desperado, Fujiyama, Wild Thing, Manhattan Express, and Steel Force.

Weird Things About Coasters

There once was a man who did not talk for six years because of shell shock, but after a ride on the Coney Island Cyclone, he told his friend, "I feel sick."  There used to be a roller coaster track that people could drive their car on.  A long time ago there was a roller coaster that jumped a gap, but it was banned because the jump would vary according to the weight of the people.  Some of the items people find under roller coasters besides wallets, change, and keys are glass eyes, fake legs, brassieres and false teeth.

Best Theme Parks

The park with the best and most roller coasters is Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio.  Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California and Six Flags AstroWorld in Houston, Texas each have ten roller coasters.  Six Flags Over Georgia in Atlanta, Georgia, Six Flags Over Great America in Gurnee, Illinois, Paramount Kings Island on Kings Island, Ohio, and Paramount Canada`s Wonderland in Vaughan, Ontario each have eight coasters.

Is social media a marketing dream?

If you don't know what social networking is, chances are you're not a member of a site! Synovate looked into who were members of sites, or not, and which sites they belonged to. Perhaps the biggest out-take here is the debunking of myth number two. Social networking is definitely not US-centric.
    Overall, 26% across the markets surveyed are members of social networking sites. This peaked with the Netherlands at 49%, United Arab Emirates (UAE) at 46%, Canada at 44% and the US at 40% (though keep in mind that's 40% of a huge population).


Sites of choice
        The survey then asked social networkers to name the sites they belong to. Some markets seemed to favour multiple memberships and some seemed to stick to one or two major ones. The markets where social networking aficionados favour signed up for many sites are UAE, India, Indonesia, and Bulgaria.


Now while coming to particular social networking sites ,  so far as I could gather the info  .. is here ! 
     As social media continues to gain acceptance as a communications platform, I thought it might be fun to have a cool fact about it for every week of the year .So, here are ten facts about the five most well-known social media outlets – Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube and blogging – with two more bonus facts thrown in just for fun :
