I'm an exec, but I need a job! Help!

There are times in this life when big time executives lose their jobs. In these times of unemployment crisis, it's time to either sell your house or look into an executive recruiting firm. Ever since this country was full of dirty, smelly hippies who now are glorified in IBM commercials, back in 1967, A.E. Feldman Associates, Inc., has been a big part of the recruiting field, and have had a high level of service and commitment. They have upheld this level for a long time, and they have no plans of stopping now. They have successfully placed a lot of top-notch candidates together with industry-leading clients. That skill makes them awesome, for one, but also, it tends to lead to a good reputation, and, believe me, they are consistent. This makes the one searching for work, and the company seeking an employee, content, dog. All of their top-of-the-hill recruiters know their respective industry. The industry they recruit for is the exact same industry where this recruiter had a history--a successful career of their own. They bring an invaluable depth of experience, skill and insight because of this. Those are 3 words I know I want associated with my recruiter. And these geniuses have the knowledge, contacts and the feel for their respective field. Coolness, dude! They'll even use it to find the tightest fit for each and every job. Now if that isn't what you call productivity, what is? Seriously...I don't know! Well, I'll tell you right now, that if you don't know, I'll tell you: Their practices include financial and risk management services, legal and legal support services, communications and technology, human resources consulting, and luxury products. And within those nostalgic areas, you better believe AEF fills positions. If they don't, I'll delete my blog and leave this world on a spaceship. What positions though? Well, they do this nationally, and I'm talking about positions from the middle, to executive, all the way up to "C level" management. And then some. They also fill associate, partner, analyst and managing director positions. They are worktastic...if that was a real word, according to Webster's.

Spice it up, ya'll

After a grueling 3 month stint on the road, the party is just about over for the Spice Girls Reunion Tour. While Les Spices didn't quite get to visit all the countries they promised to visit at the onset of the tour, the ladies did manage to bring their Reunion Tour to quite a few cities across the US and Europe (some cities were lucky enough to enjoy multiple night shows ... which is odd since other cities (and countries, for that matter) were completely omitted altogether). But the sun will set on the Spice Girls Reunion Tour tonight as they play their very last show (reportedly their last show together ever) in Toronto, Canada (after playing their second to last show there last night) ce soir. If I didn't know any better, I'd say the show fucking sucked. Oh wait, I do know better, and I'm right. Celebrity gossip is retarded. If you made it to this point, go take a shower.

Letterman show gossip

Blake Lively was spotted making her grand entrance to "The Late Show with David Letterman" in NYC on February 5, and I just have to wonder... did she change her outfit before she filmed the show? I didn't catch the episode, did anyone see if Blake did a little outfit switcheroo? Don't get me wrong, her outfit is basic and cute, but it's not really Letterman appropriate, right? She started with a light brown bomber jacket and paired with a basic scoop neck tee (like Rails' Kenna Long Sleeve Tee in Cream) and dark jeans (similar to James Jeans' Hunter High Rise Straight Leg Jean in Blue C), then slipped on a pair of suede boots and she was entrance ready. For those of you who can't get enough "Gossip Girl", it seems that there are some behind-the-scenes rumors that are causing a lot of, ahem, gossip. Allegedly, right before (and during) the writer's strike, the tension on set was skyrocketing between Blake and co-star Leighton Meester, as a source said, "Leighton Meester and Blake Lively avoid each other like the plague while castmates choose sides. Chace Crawford tends to stick close to Leighton, while Penn Badgley hangs on and offscreen with Blake. The crew will snag Blake for a scene just moments before it is shot so they can avoid any awkwardness with Leighton." I wonder sometimes why these people are the way they are.

Silver is back and you should be excited

I'm getting really sick of the way the U.S. dollar is performing. I feel like this economy is fucked. But, luckily...there is still other investments that you can invest in--like silver. In fact, there is somebody who will help you. Monex Depost Company (MDC). They will help you immediately and you can purchase silver or even other precious metals that will immediately be delivered, personally, to you, if you want. Or, you can arrange for a convenient and safe storage at absolutely, positively, realistically, any independent bank and/or depository. It makes me feel a lot better about the dollar. I don't know if it affects it, but it makes me feel slightly better. Especially since they've been doing this for 30 years and have been America's silver and precious metals investment leader. It's available in two forms for ya: coin or ingot. What's the difference? A lot of people ask that. Well, ingots are generally silver ingots of a pure bullion cast. It's a small little nugget in a convenient size and shape. And, of course, coins are coins; they have a currency value, or are actually defined by ingots. The demand for silver in this world is high too. It exceeds the annual production. It has every year since 1990. Isn't that crazy? Every, single, year, bro. Fuck yeah, I'm stoked just typing that. And like Bubba Gump Shrimp, and the different ways to prepare that petite crustacean, there are different ways silver is stored. There are above ground stockpiles of silver bullion that are low, and shrinking rapidly. I mean, it's approaching zero, people. Monex Precious Metals is home to a large and dedicated staff. They have hard asset professionals committed to serving your precious metals investment needs yo. They are America's best dealer with a convenient market and competitive precious metals prices. As they say in my weekly Golf Tips podcast, "That's what I'm talking about." -Drunk Blogger

I'm actually excited about this...

President of Porsche Cars North America, Peter Schwarzenbauer, will unveil the 2008 Porsche Cayenne GTS at a breakfast before the public opening of the Chicago Auto Show. Schwarzenbauer will demonstrate how an SUV can be fun to drive and earn a high performance rating in addition to its utilitarian configuration. Many of Porsche’s latest engineering innovations are incorporated in the new GTS model. He can also answer questions on the state of the sports car market in the U.S. BACKGROUND: The Porsche Cayenne has been the best-selling Porsche model since it was introduced in February, 2003. A hybrid model, still in the design stage, was announced recently to join the model line by 2010. The 2008 Cayenne GTS being introduced in Chicago features a 405hp 4.8 liter V-8 engine. Based on the same V8 found in the Cayenne S, this more robust powerplant can be coupled either with an automatic Tiptronic S or, for the first time in a Cayenne V8, a six-speed manual transmission for those who want to take full advantage of this new power and suspension package. The GTS gets its cornering prowess from standard 21-inch alloy rims equipped with 295/35 R21 tires and air suspension that features Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM). The Cayenne GTS front end is reminiscent of the Cayenne Turbo while the body has a lower stance and a striking new wheel-arch design that complements the new 21-inch rims. The interior boasts redesigned front and rear seats that offer a sportier look and feel with Alcantara to hold both driver and passenger in place during spirited driving. The 2008 Cayenne GTS goes on sale this and pricing for this new model is US $69,300.

Cherful news

I, along with the rest of the world, am very relieved to hear that Cher plans to fulfill her obligation to Caesar's Palace and share the stage with Bette Midler starting in May. First we heard that Cher was having special treatments for "tummy troubles." Then we heard the unsettling news that a source had bumped into Cher in the waiting room at the UCLA Medical Center in the outpatient treatment center for cancer patients having chemotherapy. Supposedly, Cher was seen there twice with a bodyguard by her side. Since she's gearing up to perform in May, we figure Cher was there not for treatment herself, but waiting for someone- maybe even Farrah Fawcett. And the show WILL go on in Las Vegas! That's what I'm talking about, Cher. Kick some getting old ass!
