Forbes: Tiger Woods is first athlete to reach $1 billion
Posted at 11:13 AM by Ryan Reiterman | Categories: Tiger WoodsIt's good to be Tiger Woods. Forbes.com is reporting that Woods is the first athlete to reach $1 billion in earnings, beating out Michael Jordan and Michael Schumacher.
Woods earned more than $10.5 million in giant cardboard checks this year on the PGA Tour and added another $10 million last weekend by winning the FedEx Cup. According to Forbes, that little bonus was enough to push Woods over the $1 billion mark.
Forbes has been tracking athlete earnings since before Tiger turned pro. Woods had earned a cumulative $895 million going into 2009, by our estimates, from prize money, appearance fees, endorsements, bonuses and his golf course design business. If you add his $10.5 million in 2009 prize money, the FedEx bonus and his take so far this year from his more than $100 million in annual off-the-course earnings, Woods' career earnings are now 10 figures.
The article points out that only Woods's accountant truly knows if he's a billionaire, but one thing is certain: Tiger's money-making potential won't slow down anytime soon.
The most stunning part is that Woods is only 33 years old--he might have 15 years of competitive golf left in him, and 30-plus years of designing courses. This is only the first billion for Woods.
Woods has been the highest-paid American athlete for years, and the competition isn't even close. In this year's Fortunate 50, SI's annual ranking, Woods's estimated total earnings were nearly $100 million, far exceeding Phil Mickelson in second ($53 million) and LeBron James in third ($42.4 million). Amazingly, Woods made even more the year before, according to SI -- $128 million.

Are their d2d presentations good enough to convert?
by highdose ini remember asking a uber dub i was on the fs with " if you were the hh would you want to know more after listening to your presentation?
" she addmitted that no, she wouldn't have wanted to listen further.. so basicly the fs is really quite useless?
the jws doing it mostly have neither the skills nor interest to make a hh want to listen.

I was converted from D2D visit.
After the initial presentation, (whatever that was)
We talked for an hour, she knew her stuff.
After agreeing to a bible study I asked
What religion are you?
She never mentioned being a JW or Jehovah for the whole presentation,
Never pulled out a WT or Awake, only used the bible.
I was impressed, she answered all my questions.
I was searching, you know, sighing and groaning over the detestable things going on.
She also was a convert, well-educated, came from a wealthy family in our area.
She had the means to pioneer. Was looking and working for bible studies.
She became like a mother to me.
Of course, we lost touch when I was DF, but did reunite when I was reinstated.
We had both moved to different states, so nothing was too much the same.
Still a dear lady to me.

Did you really pay attention at conventions or assemblies?
by donny ina co-worker of mine whose family (2 daughters, wife) are jw's related a funny story yesterday.
his wife and daughters missed the friday portion of the convention last week in order to attend a wedding of a worldly relative.
at dinner she mentioned to him that she would go to the convention this friday to make up for the one she missed.. he then asked why and she said so she could get the information she missed.

I paid attention and took notes, it was spiritual food gluttony.
The things I remember most about conventions was picking out a plant to buy that was used to decorate the stage,
watching a bird that entered the arena and flew on the stage,
and a talk where the speaker brought out how our skin looses its elasticity with age and
asked us all to pinch our skin on the back of our hand and see how long it takes to spring back.
I am still waiting!!!
It got to where I could not stay awake at conventions,
I split them up over at least two weekends
and then I only went to make sure I was "Seen"

Did the new Tom Cruise "Day & Night" movie flop?
by JWoods ina lot of comments that it basically flopped.
it came in only 3rd box office over the release weekend, grossed about 50 million.. it cost 45 million to make, (besides the big promo advertising campaign iirc).. film company execs are covering up by saying "we don't blame tom cruise" --- but ---.
i wonder if the couch-jumping scientology crazie-ness incidents (and some past bad flicks) have finally come home to roost?.

From the Movie, There's Something About Mary.
Dom: You choke the chicken before any big date, don't you? Tell me you spank the monkey before any big date. Oh my God, he doesn't flog the dolphin before a big date. Are you crazy? That's like going out there with a loaded gun! Of course that's why you're nervous. Oh my dear friend, please sit, please. Look, um, after you've had sex with a girl, and you're lying in bed with her, are you nervous? No, you're not, why?
Ted: Cause I'm tired...
Dom: Wrong! It's 'cause you ain't got the baby batter on the brain anymore! Jesus, that stuff will fuck you're head up! Look, the most honest moment in a man's life are the few minutes after he's blown his load - now that is a medical fact. And the reason for it is that you're no longer trying to get laid, you're actually... you're thinking like a girl, and girls love that.
