website that prays for those too busy to pray!

Too busy to offer prayers? Well, don't fear the Lord, for He has come up with a unique idea to make you stay connected with him: InformationAgePrayer.com!

A website that charges you a monthly fee to say prayers for you has been launched.

A typical charge is 4.95 dollars per month to say three prayers specified by you each day. All you need to do is select your religion and the prayers you want, reports The New York Daily News.
The site's premise: "We think our service should be used like a prayer supplement, to extend and strengthen a subscriber's connection with God."

The site does caution that, "as with all prayer, the final results are up to God as everything follows His will. We make no claims regarding the efficacy of the service."

What is Recession?

This story is about a man who once upon a time was selling Hotdogs by the roadside. He was illiterate, so he never read newspapers. He was hard of hearing, so he never listened to the radio. His eyes were weak, so he never watched television. But enthusiastically, he sold lots of hotdogs.
He was smart enough to offer some attractive schemes to increase his sales. His sales and profit went up. He ordered more a more raw material and buns and sold more. He recruited more supporting staff to serve more customers. He started offering home deliveries. Eventually he got himself a bigger and better stove. As his business was growing, the son, who had recently graduated from college, joined his father.

Then something strange happened.

The son asked, "Dad, aren't you aware of the great recession that is coming our way?" The father replied, "No, but tell me about it." The son said, "The international situation is terrible. The domestic situation is even worse. We should be prepared for the coming bad times."
The man thought that since his son had been to college, read the papers, listened to the radio and watched TV. He ought to know and his advice should not be taken lightly. So the next day onwards, the father cut down the his raw material order and buns, took down the colorful signboard, removed all the special schemes he was offering to the customers and was no longer as enthusiastic. He reduced his staff strength by giving layoffs. Very soon, fewer and fewer people bothered to stop at his Hotdog stand. And his sales started coming down rapidly and so did the profit. The father said to his son, "Son, you were right". "We are in the middle of a recession and crisis. I am glad you warned me ahead of time."

Moral of the Story: It's all in your MIND! And we actually FUEL this recession much more than we think.

7 reasons the world will end in 2012

Scientific experts from around the world are genuinely predicting that five years from now, all life on Earth could well finish.Some are saying it'll be humans that set it off. Others believe that a natural phenomenon will be the cause. And the religious folks are saying it'll be God himself who presses the stop button...

1. Mayan Calendar
The first mob to predict 2012 as the end of the world were the Mayans, a bloodthirsty race that were good at two things: Building highly accurate astrological equipment out of stone and Sacrificing Virgins.
Thousands of years ago they managed to calculate the length of the lunar moon as 329.53020 days, only 34 seconds out. The Mayan calendar predicts that the Earth will end on December 21, 2012. Given that they were pretty close to the mark with the lunar cycle, it's likely they've got the end of the world right as well.

2. Sun Storms
Solar experts from around the world monitoring the sun have made a startling discovery: our sun is in a bit of strife. The energy output of the sun is, like most things in nature, cyclic, and it's supposed to be in the middle of a period of relative stability. However, recent solar storms have been bombarding the Earth with so much radiation energy, it's been knocking out power grids and destroying satellites. This activity is predicted to get worse, and calculations suggest it'll reach its deadly peak sometime in 2012.

3. The Atom Smasher
Scientists in Europe have been building the world's largest particle accelerator. Basically its a 27km tunnel designed to smash atoms together to find out what makes the Universe tick. However, the mega-gadget has caused serious concern, with some scientists suggesting that it's properly even a bad idea to turn it on in the first place. They're predicting all manner of deadly results, including mini black holes. So when this machine is fired up for its first serious experiment in 2012, the world could be crushed into a super-dense blob the size of a basketball.

4. The Bible Says...
If having scientists warning us about the end of the world isn't bad enough,religious folks are getting in on the act aswell. Interpretations of the Christian Bible reveal that the date for Armageddon, the final battle between Good an Evil, has been set down for 2012. The I Ching, also known as the Chinese book of Changes, says the same thing, as do various sections of the Hindu teachings.

5. Super Volcano
Yellowstone National Park in the United States is famous for its thermal springs and Old Faithful geyser. The reason for this is simple - it's sitting on top of the world's biggest volcano, and geological experts are beginning to get nervous sweats. The Yellowstone volcano has a pattern of erupting every 650,000 years or so, and we're many years overdue for an explosion that will fill the atmosphere with ash, blocking the sun and plunging the Earth into a frozen winter that could last up to 15,000 years. The pressure under the Yellowstone is building steadily, and geologists have set 2012 as a likely date for the big bang.

6. The Physicists
This one's case of bog-simple maths mathematics. Physicists at Berekely Uni have been crunching the numbers. and they've determined that the Earth is well overdue for a major catastrophic event. Even worse, they're claiming their calculations prove, that we're all going to die, very soon - while also saying their prediction comes with a certainty of 99 percent- and 2012 just happens to be the best guess as to when it occurs.

7. Slip-Slop-Slap- BANG!
We all know the Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that sheilds us from most of the sun's radiation. What you might not know is that the magnetic poles we call north and south have a nasty habit of swapping places every 750,000 years or so - and right now we're about 30,000 years overdue. Scientists have noted that the poles are drifting apart roughly 20-30kms each year, much faster than ever before, which points to a pole-shift being right around the corner. While the pole shift is underway, the magnetic field is disrupted and will eventually disappear, sometimes for up to 100 years. The result is enough UV outdoors to crisp your skin in seconds, killing everything it touches.

Dell Agrees to Sell PCs at Retailer in China

BEIJING, Sept. 24 (Bloomberg News) — Dell Inc. said on Monday that it would begin selling desktop computers and laptops through China’s largest electronics retailer.

The company, based in Round Rock, Tex., will sell computers in 50 stores operated by Gome Electrical Appliances Holding in major Chinese cities, starting early next month, and will expand to other cities in the first half of next year, Dell said in a statement in Beijing.

Dell has made similar agreements in the United States, Japan and Europe this year as market share losses forced its chairman, Michael S. Dell, to end a two-decade-old practice of shunning retailers.

Gome’s stores may help Dell increase sales in China, the world’s second-largest PC market, where it trails the Lenovo Group, Hewlett-Packard and the Founder Technology Group.

Shares of Dell rose 11 cents, to $27.87, on Nasdaq.

As of the second quarter, Lenovo leads in China’s market for desktop computers and notebooks, with a 35.8 percent share, according to the research firm IDC. Hewlett-Packard is second, with 13.4 percent. It is followed by Founder Technology, based in Shanghai, with 12 percent. Dell is fourth, with 8.1 percent.

China’s growing wealth is fueling demand for electronic products. Disposable incomes of urban Chinese jumped 18 percent in the first half, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.

“Over the next two years, the growth of the desktop market in China will make it a larger market than the U.S.,” said Michael Tatelman, vice president for marketing and sales for Dell global consumer business.

This year, Dell began selling computers in the United States through Wal-Mart Stores. It also forged agreements with the Carphone Warehouse Group in Britain and with Bic Camera in Japan. Last week, Dell said it planned to open its first retail store in Russia.
