k Google search will produce countless articles trying to understand the popularity of ‘ringtones’; hundreds of bloggers waxing lyrical on the benefits of personalising their cell phones. Interviews with “experts” profering sexy theories about ringtones and identity construction lend an academic seriousness to the Crazy Frog phenomena. The figures are pretty serious too, in the U.S.A. alone, the Yankee Group predicts, ringtones will be worth $500 million. That’s roughly the GDP of Fiji.
Obviously our cell phones needs a voice, but does that voice need to be a polyphonic adaptation of ‘Living on a Prayer’?

The latest figures indicate that young people are the greatest consumers of mobile music. According to one UK survey, 15-24 year olds account for 80% of ringtone spending. Studies by Nick Anderson of Sussex University show that young people are far more aware of the “brand personalty” (the particular identity affiliated with certain brands) than older generations. Anderson suggests that teenagers can deduce a person’s character, likes and dislikes, by their branded possessions. Considering the amount of branding in the music industry, it’s not unreasonable to say that popular musicians have their own “brand personality”.  So, your 50 Cent ringtone, for example, communicates not only a your taste in music, but also your compliance to the whole ‘Fiddy’ meme. Ultimately, for brand savvy youth, this says something about your personality, which, you hope, everybody within earshot understands.

If a cell phone rings in the woods but nobody is around to hear it, are you still down with 50 Cent? Ringtones are about personalization, and about public performance. The publicness of the ringtone is an integral part of its appeal. It’s unlikely that anyone would have a ringtone on their landline. In a noisy urban soundscape like the city, silence is an anomaly. Personalised ringtones are simply another irritating sound in the hullabaloo. Most of us manage tune out the sounds imposed on us: muzak, hawkers, traffic, the O’Reily factor, so why try and impose yet another squawk? Perhaps the ringtone is the audio equivalent of territorial pissing; thirty seconds in which YOU pick the soundtrack. For a few moments when your cell phone rings the 50 Cent meme is the most powerful in the sonic environment. Where “Fiddy” is relatively redundant as a social force, certain ringtones allow citizens to demonstrate their dissatisfaction or support of a cause. Independent radio station WFMU have created a variety of anti- George W. Bush ringtones available for download, while engadget.com allows users to choose their preferred presidential candidate ringtone. Condemning other commuters to several cycles of 50 Cent, the theme from ‘Star Wars’ or a Dubya quote demonstrates your individual tastes and allows others distinguish you as either nemesis or brethren.

In our efforts to relieve poverty, impede environmental disaster or cure the global AIDs epidemic, ringtones are totally and utterly useless. When it comes to enforcing the myth that every individual is special, the artificial uniqueness of a personalized ringtone is just the ticket. Paradoxically, this demonstration of individualism is only really effective in a crowd. As far as this writer’s concerned the real purpose of ringtones lies in their ridiculousness. A recent gathering of sensible adults turned to hilarity thanks to an improvised game of “Name that tune”. Using Foovely’s ringtone preview function, those gathered took turns choosing snippets of songs for the party to guess. Recognising a song in 30 seconds is SO much harder in monophone!

The myth of the 49 cent biscuit.

A few days ago I saw a sign advertising a 49 cent breakfast biscuit special at a local fast food slop hole, a deal which for a lot of us is too good to pass up. On face value, it seemed like a pretty good deal. That is until you start adding up what it really was going to cost you.

The biscuit was made from a substance similar to concrete, which absorbs ten times its weight in liquid, containing ten times the recommended daily intake for salt. These substances were chosen for two reasons. One, the most common element in anything dealing with selling anything to a human being, is that they are cheap. The other, is that they make you thirsty. The result. You eat this monstrosity, become dehydrated, and order a three dollar bucket sized drink to wash it down.

But wait, the fleecing isn’t over. While standing in line to buy the bucket of whatever it is that you are going to drink, you also buy a pack of gum, which you hope will kill the taste of whatever the meat like substance was that they used to make your biscuit special.

 So now that 49 cent biscuit has just cost you 6.50 cents.

What you always have to keep in the back of your mind is that for every action, there is a reaction. And corporate America has researched this concept right down to air we breathe and how much they can charge for it. So what that means, is that we have to find a way to defeat this system of corporate induced purchasing and stop spending!

We as a society have one very big problem that stands in the way of this stop spending concept and that is we do not like being told what to do. It’s almost as if we like being sold, ripped off and then relish in complaining about it.

Before we reach the age of 10, we have already been conditioned for a life of corporate manipulation. To reinforce this concept all one has to do is take a look at the number of rich people in this country. The ones, who are rich, are the ones who are doing the selling, while the rest of us work 9 to 5 and do the bulk of the buying. Most of the rich folk don’t even buy the stuff that the companies they own are selling and ramming down our throats because it would shorten their life spans.

So that means that I have to tell you something, and you’re not going to like it. So guess what, I won’t tell you. Figure it out for your self and you stop doing it.

Mad Planter asked:


A growing number of people, driven by higher grocery costs and a challenging economy, are putting in vegetable gardens for the first time. While others are expanding their existing gardens.

Some of the reasons are the higher cost of food, food safety, taste, health and growing concerns about global warming. Growing food at home is on the up-swing. Community gardens across the country have been sold out for months or some communities are starting their own programs – neighbor helping neighbor. In some city locations these gardens plots have waiting lists.

The most immediate reason is the conspicuous rise in the cost of basics like milk and bread products accompanied by price increased costs of fruits and vegetables. Food prices have spiked because of fuel prices thus instilling the desire to be more independent and have our own vegetable gardens. We are driving less, taking fewer vacations, allowing us more time to garden.

Last year I had a small garden. This year it will triple in size.  With the cost of everything increasing and as always, the desire to lose a few pounds; so it is a win-win situation all around. I get to harvest the fruits of my labor and get back into my smaller jeans.

This year I will be ready to take a stab at canning. I will probably spend maybe $50 for everything and that will be less than a week’s cost of groceries. I will get to know my neighbor better, because she knows how to can and preserve.

I will be planting more “survival vegetables”: peas, beans, corn, beets, carrots, broccoli, kale, spinach and the lettuces.

If you are starting your first vegetable garden and you do not have a yard try containers for tomatoes and herbs. Basil …hmmm… I can taste the pesto now. First time gardeners may not have any idea how much sweat equity is involved.  Your local garden center will take time to educate you so the experience is more enjoyable. Gardening is an active hobby; it is a commitment and an opportunity to chat with your neighbor and share experiences and stories. Like that the day I was daydreaming, walking through my garden and stepped into a big pile of ‘critter’ droppings  and thought it was moose droppings…  That is another story for later…

Food prices are getting to the point where having your own garden will make a difference. It is draining our budget. It was never a concern before but our grocery bill for two went from $100 a week to $140 a week just last year.

I will be planting many vegetables that freeze well and can/preserve well. I plan to dry herbs that just happen to be great companion plants for the vegetables, and I will make pickles from my luscious cucumbers and shop at my local Farmers Market for treats I was unable to grow. I am looking forward to a cellar full of potatoes and other root crops.

I plan to plant a little more then I need. Some of our harvest will also go to food pantries. Reminding me, we are a community of neighbors helping neighbors.

I am hoping to take $20 to $40 a week off my grocery bill. This is in the low range. Hypothetically, a $100 investment could produce $1,000 to $1,700 worth of vegetables, keeping in mind variables such as weather that are totally out of our control.  I could use that to pay on my tax bill.

There is something both rewarding and exciting to go out and pick the fruits of your labor and then to sit in your home, in the dead of winter, eating a hot bowl of pasta smothered in some of the most delicious Pesto sauce, made right from your own garden.  Does not get any better!

SimonDuffy asked:


New rules and regulations have recently been introduced to try and stop the rip-off APRs you might have seen with store cards.However, some store cards are still charging almost 50 per cent more interest on store cards than you’d find with a credit card.

There has been new regulations recently introduced by The Competition Commission to oversee or police the store cards that charge APRs of 25 per cent or more. So now what have all the stores offering store cards done? We’ll the obvious thing, reduced the APRs on their store cards to just under 25 per cent so they’re not above the 25 per cent threshold and therefore do not need to be overseen or managed. They’re simply free to continue as normal.

This is probably the easiet way around any new regulations and I wonder why regulations like this,that are so easy to get around, are introduced at all…

Unsurprisingly since these rules cam into force the average store card interest rate is now just under 24.3 per cent today. Some stores have actually increased the APR’s charged on store cards.

Some of the worst value store cards in the UK charge a mind boggling 29.9% APR! I still sit here scratching my head as to why people have this from of credit in their handbags or wallets. The problem is that people are sudussed into special 10/20 or 30 per cent discounts if they open a store card today etc…What they don’t realise is that the discount is instantly lost because the card charges interest at around 25 or 30 per cent!

The stores are reliant on the fact that customers will just pop in and pay for something they fancy on the store card and forget about paying it off because it’s such a small amount. This is where people often fall into problems with a credit card. All these small spends here and there soon add up and before you know it you can quite easily have a few thousand pounds worth of debt to repay.

If you spend regularly with a store card and you still have a balance to pay off the debt will be costing you far more than than it needs to. People in this situation should consider moving the debt to a 0 per cent balance transfer credit card, there are plenty to choose from and you will avoid paying any interest for as long as the credit card offers 0 per cent, which sounds like an absolute no-brainer to me!
