What a weekend.I thought Il just put up the breaking news and the most POPULAR news that emerged from this past weekend.This piece of news has been the talking point this weekend, AND OVERSHADOWED ALL THE OTHER NEWS THIS WEEKEND. IT WAS EXTREMELY POPULAR IN THE UK and made all the front pages.
N
ew York - Talk show-diva Oprah Winfrey's touch does not just work for traditional books.More than 1 million copies of financial adviser Suze Orman's Women & Money have been downloaded since the announcement last week on Winfrey's television show that the e-book edition would be available for free on her website, www.oprah.com.
"I believe Women & Money is the most important book I've ever written," Orman said in a statement released on Saturday by Winfrey. "So this was not about getting people to buy the book, but getting them to read it, and that was the intention behind this offer."
According to Saturday's statement, more than 1.1 million copies of Orman's financial advice book were downloaded in English, and another 19,000 in Spanish. The demand compares to such free online sensations as The 9-11 Commission Report, which the federal government made available for downloads, and Stephen King's e-novella, Riding the Bullet.
Winfrey's book club picks on her popular television show are publishing's swiftest and surest path to the top of best seller lists, resulting in tens of thousands more sales for authors whose titles are selected.
The publishing community has endlessly debated the effects of making text available online, with some saying that free downloading is a valuable promotional tool and others worrying that sales for paper editions would be harmed. The Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers each have sued Google for its plans to scan and index books for the Internet.
The offer for Women & Money, originally released a year ago by Spiegel & Grau, a division of Random House, Inc, has not kept people from buying the traditional version. As of Saturday, the book ranked No 6 on Amazon.com. The paper edition of The 9-11 Commission Report, published in 2004 by WW Norton and Co, was a best seller for months.
"I can tell you that with respect to the 9-11 Report, the free download did not seem to hurt sales at all," Norton publisher Drake McFeely told The Associated Press on Saturday. "There were people who wanted it quickly, in a less convenient form, and that was clearly a different market from the people who wanted the traditional book."
He said free downloading of books does concern publishers, but "if Norton had been given the opportunity for an Oprah Winfrey plug, and part of the deal was making the book free online, we would have gladly taken it."
Shame guess that overshadowed liverpool been booted out by Barnsley.Don't be a sore loser swoosh admit Liverpool have been disgraced.
ReplyDeleteMan u Fan!
Barnsley beating liverpool shows the true spirit of the FA cup...
ReplyDeleteAnd in it is a lesson for us all."It does not matter how small and weak you might think you are,you can always beat the BEST."
I heard they were selling Buns-leys at village bakery this weekend.
ReplyDeleteSwoosh what was that about being GUNNED down?
Ejaz said somthing about a hiding and Arsenal, be careful what you wish for Ejaz, it may just come back to bake you. Losing to your greatest rivals at home they said last week, but it was a premiership team that spent a fair amount of money in the summer we lost to.
How does that compare to losing to a mid table Championship team?
On a more positive note, Kuyt scored a goal. As swoosh would say, he just hit it and it went in, it's that ball they were using.
This topic is a typical Liverfool response. Run and hide.
Shakes
From the bakers desk "super tuesday"

where is ejaz and kopout and verzhaz? the muggs have no izzet left!
RAFA MUST GO!
ReplyDeleteWE ARE IN DESPAIR. I CANNOT TAKE THIS HUMILIATION ANYMORE!
Barnsley beating liverpool shows the true spirit of the FA cup...
ReplyDeleteAnd in it is a lesson for us all."It does not matter how small and weak you might think you are,you can always beat the BEST."
As 4 united...gotta hand it to the muggs for a gr8 performance....
ReplyDeleteBut I hope they still lose everything and finish with nothing...hahhahaha
Mini are you dreaming?
ReplyDeleteSecond string squad. So Fabregas, Gallas, Toure, Eboue, Eduardo, Hleb are all of a sudden 2nd stringers?
Swoosh i remeber 1 of your star writers calling us a 1 man team. I didn't know that he rated Fletcher so highly!
THERE'S ONLY 1 DARREN FLETCHER!
Congratulations to Man United on thrashing Arsenal in the fac(k) up.
ReplyDeleteIt was such a dismal display by Arsenal, so bad even Daren Fletcher scored (twice) It seems like the Arsenal players were not interested at all in the game and had no heart in it.And made United look very, very, very impressive. As for Eboue and Gallas's actions it was uncalled for and unnecessary.
As for Arsenal in the grand scheme of things, I am happy we are are out of the FA cup as our small, young, cheap squad cannot cope on all three fronts. To prove all critics wrong (comments made the beginning of the season) winning the fa cup would not have done it. Winning the premiership would.
With the number of premiership teams left (only three) it shows the heart and fight that is needed for the FA cup.
Anyway the loss should be overcome, as we have other bigger tasks ahead of us.
THERES ONLY 1 DARREN FLETCHER! 1 DARREN FLETCHER!>...............
ReplyDeleteTHE LAD WAS AWESOME. IT COULD HAVE BEEN 8 NIL. WHAT A WEEKEND? THE SCUM LOST TO BARNESLY THE LIONS WON IN CHEETAH COUNTRY.MR SETH IT DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER?
all now that is left is for united to play chelsea in the upcoming rounds
ReplyDeletead the way united are playing i am sure united will win fa cup
will be funny though if barnsly go alll the way
Peeved!
ReplyDeleteNo EXCUSES! The side put out should have walked over Barnsley. I guess it was not meant to be as we tried walking the ball into the fuckin net. We were poor and our players were pathetic! Trying and work rates count sweet Fuck all in the end! Kuyts goal was no big deal anyone would have scored it, his fuckin hopeless!
We have passenger players that are not up to it and should be shown the door come end of the season! We are currently in a state of emergency and Hopefully pull things right tomorrow!
What a shit performance from the gunners, U SCUM were awesome no doubt, Well done…
mini ?????? second side ???
ReplyDeletewhat game were you watching ?
if anyone played a weaker side,it was united.
the whole midfield was the second midfield players.
wonder which game mini watched.
"go" get your dstv subs back
Azhar
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the exact same thing on Sat evening, could it get any better?
United thrashing the GAAANERS, scum getting dumped on and out by Eric Tinkler's old club and then the magnificent LIONS pulling off a shock in Bloem.
Lions for the semi's i reckon!
ejaz : WHERE ARE YOU ?
ReplyDeletekopout : WHERE ARE YOU ?
versharz : WHERE ARE YOU ?
memz : WHERE ARE YOU ?
ebi j : YOU A TRUE SUPORTER FOR LEAVING THE COMMENTS & NOT HIDING LIKE THE ABOVE LIVERSCUM.
i think a HOME semi beckons!
ReplyDeleteShame Ebi J, stop leavig comments for yourself
ReplyDeleteWe know you a true supporter
all the rest are at village bakery .
ReplyDeletethe hot burns just came out.
On a seriaaas note
Swoosh are you getting a pic for us.
think the dude only works on weekends there.
Liverpool's 11 on the day had the quality to beat Barnsley.. But they didnt..
ReplyDeleteA lack lusture performance genrally produces lack lusture results..
The Babel sub was controversial, however does not justify not beating the Championship side..
Arenal on the other hand didnt even play with lis.. They had like 8 first team players, contrary to what mini's gabgaal DSTV showed him and they played sh1t.. It showed when okes like Fletcher score.. TWICE..
Chelski for the League / Cup double..
YNWA
DO YOU MANCS REMEMBER SOUTHEND?
ReplyDeleteHey big MOUTHS...
ReplyDeleteYou MANCS Lost to Barnsley in 1998 ans was probably your worst FA Cup exit under Ferguson. You guys had 28 attempts on goal but still couldn’t prevent a surprise 3-2 defeat to lower league opposition!!! SO GO FUCK YOURSELVES
yeh just as much you kants remember BARNESLY.
ReplyDeleteAbdul u mugg we played a reserve team against southend in the league cup in the early rounds. you muggs were at home in crucial fa cup 5th round tie, the game was far bigger for the scousers as it was there last real shot at silverware. they not going to beat inter. you not comparing " buns with buns"

ReplyDeleteAzee and Seth..You f#4ken MUGGS.

He stinks.
Il wait for you bAS4ards on Super Tuesday
PS. You guys said Del was finished.Did ypu see his free kick that sunk ROMA.
the scousers are in trouble! no 1 wants to own them . they got a shit coach, even bhai gora wont coach them. DIC will pull out! inter will fu*k them up.
ReplyDeleteas the nba guys used to say:" i luv this game"
Hashim Amla scored a fine century on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteAmla scored 103 runs off 120 balls on the opening day of a warm-up match against a Bangladesh Board XI as the Proteas began preparing for their two-test series against Bangladesh, scheduled to start in Mirpur on Friday. YOU GO BOY! HASH ALL THE WAY
Kopin stop sitting on your brains. i'll give you a BUN to shove at the end when you guys win fuck all

ReplyDeleteu a mugg of astronomical proportions! take your head out of RAFA'S BALLS AND SEE THE SHIT YOUR TEAM IS IN!
WHY THE FUCK BRING DEL UP NOW? HE IS YOUR LAST HOPE! IF ALL ELSE FAILS AT LEAST DEL WILL BAIL YOU OUT!
ReplyDelete"go shake it baby", united at least scored 2 goals from 28 attempts as you wrote, BUT LIVERSCUM SCORED 1 IN 33 ATTEMPTS.
ReplyDeleteLIVERSCUM 1 - 2 BARNSLEY, ha ha ha
the scums very own JAMIE CARRAGHER has admitted that liverpool are "SIMPLY NOT GOOD ENOUGH".
NOW, if a scum player can admit to it, why dont the rest of you liverwankers supporters admit that your side "SIMPLY SH1T"
"go" NANI = NAAN = BETTER THAN BUNS.
Liverpools FA CUP exit was a big shame and i was very very pissed of when i saw the goal in the last 30 seconds go in .i really thoughtit would be a easy game but all respect to the barnsley team they fought hard and they were better then us ,they took the chance and it worked ,very few teams go to ANFIELD and fight till the end .that is the FA CUP its full of surprises ,A season that started of very well and high in confidence has turned out as a big FUCK UP for us ,to many draws and to many wasted chances .all i want now is a 4th spot to qualify for europe again and to win the champions league again .the rest will follow in the new season with new owners new money some big names and some exits and LIVERPOOL .
ReplyDeleteTo all the scum well done on gunners win ,if use thought LIVERPOOL fans were in hiding ,u must be mistaken .we will be back and we will be back stronger !
Kojack ,u smiling u bald bastard .
KOPOUT
Swoosh, i think that it's really sad that you have not given united the due that they deserve on the blog.
ReplyDeletesaturdays game was most probably the biggest game of the season, & yet you choose to put a dumb article on oprah winfrey.
SWOOSH FOR MAMA JACKIE ???
"go"

ReplyDeletethe scum are shit!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteplease can they bring JOMO to coach the scum as they he is the only doos who will be dumb enough to take the job.
ReplyDeletewas village bakery open today? as ejaz has made no comments, the only conclusion is that he was busy at work at village bakery.
ReplyDeletesuper tuesday is going to be awesome cant wait for ejaz?
ReplyDeletewhere were all you mancs when you guys lost to MAN CITY?
ReplyDeleteall us mancs was at village washing our cars and sipping on some coca cola enjoying ejaz bakery pies
ReplyDeleteAbdul all us Mancs were on the blog last week, hence the whole village bakery comments. None of us were hiding, the regulars like GO, Azee, Seth, Chaval and myself were all around.
ReplyDeleteShakes it baby why you bringing up 1998? It's already 2008. Is that all you can think about with your team playing kak? Lets see if United ever lost to Barnsley.
Also in the 1997/98 season Barnsley were a premiership team not languishing in mid table in the then division 1.
