Update: Over the summer TweetLater changed its business name to “SocialOomph”
Hi my name is Arthur and I am a single father of 3 kids here in Southern California. My first introduction to Twitter was last year on CNN with the Presidential Election getting hot and heavy. After hearing “Rick Sanchez” on CNN talk about Twitter I decided to jump in and create a Twitter account and the rest is history. I’ve found Twitter to be absoluting fascinating and a great place to meet interesting and knowledgeable people.
I use Twitter to not only get involved in some of the conversations and swap information but also to SPEAK about the products that I have a REAL PASSION. My Twitter following has grown tremendously that past three (3) months and I’ve searched for a Tool that could bring things together. Well I discovered that Productivity Tool and it is “SocialOomph Professional”.
First I would like to talk about SocialOomph and an advertising campaign that is called “FEATURED“. Basically this is a 24 hour Feature of your Twitter Profile that can get up to 91,000+ hits. I’ve found Tweet Later to be absolutely OUTSTANDING for the person that has a Product of “Value” that they would like to share to the World. I’ve loved “FEATURED” so much that I’ve been “FEATURED” four (4) times and each time I’ve signed up 15-20 new customers.
Another thing that makes SocialOomph stand out as such a good value is that often times when someone is starting out they need to keep cost low and Tweet Later can be used for FREE. As you expand your marketing and as it grows you can Upgrade to the SocialOomph Professional. What I recommend is that you sign-up for your FREE SocialOomph account and then Test Drive the Professional by signing-up for the Trial.

Game 3 between Lakers and Denver was an absolute INCREDIBLE GAME. All Laker Championship Teams in the past have always went after Game 3 on the other teams home court. Game 3 winner has a very high success rate of winning the series…Must say that I am VERY PROUD to be a Laker fan today after the EFFORT they exhibited in this game…Kobe was incredible as usual but you saw great play for Gasol & Ariza. You also have to mention Walton in that he played Carmelo extremely well and did not allow him to get going the way Melo did in game 2…
Farmar had a little bit of a tough time in that I think he is a little nervous in that Phil is still calling on Shannon before him…Sasha hit one BIG 3-pointer but still is not shooting as well as last year. The BIG disappointment in this game was Lamar Odom. Mr. L.O. is capable of so much more and I think we will get it from him in upcoming game. Phil called timeout after one play in which Lakers Big guys had inside position for rebound and allowd Bird-Man a Put-Back basket. Phil could be seen SCREAMING at Lamar…
I think Denver’s Shot blocking guys have bothered Lamar a little bit but he has done fine…
Looking forward to game 4 but hope the Lakers to go into RELAX-MODE…

Take a peek at Chelsea’s morning as she climbs on board the school bus. Big accomplishment when you consider she was not able to walk four months ago.
Typcial Bankhead morning. Get up and shower and take Courtney off to School and then come back and ready Chelsea for the School bus that picks her up. Below is video taking Courtney to school.
Well most of us never thought we would see this day and were cautiously optimistic about Barack Obama’s chances at winning yesterdays election but it is indeed a FACT that Mr. Barack H. Obama is our PRESIDENT Elect.
This is really a joyous and momentous occassion as we look back on what has happened over the last year in this run for the Presidency. I’ve got to do some healing because I still feel pretty bad about the extremely negative and divisive campaign that was run by John McCain.
I feel that many of Senator McCains Attacks agains Barack were insulting to Black Americans…To call Barack Obama a Terrorist and speak negatively about Obama’s Pastor were direct attacks against black people in general.
I’ve sometimes wondered why Black Pastors did not come out against McCain and his attacks on Reverend Wright but I guess he was Collateral damage in this situation. Looking back on things maybe it was the right thing that nothing was said and Barack had to separate himself from his Pastor of 20 yrs. He could not allow anything to derrail the history that was about to become reality.
Very interesting in that I’ve heard that the McCain camp searched more than 5 yrs of video to find the ones that were eventually used in his attack ads.
Good luck to all of you that did not get a chance to vote early. Right now were seeing problems with long lines in many areas around the country but have not heard of very many problems as of yet here in California. With ALL voting poles open today you might not see that many problems in California (We hope not).
Really interesting that when you observe the CNN reports and see the long lines and the large numbers of Afro-Americans in line almost gives the appearance that Blacks make up much more than 12% of the USA population.
If I get any good pictures at Polling locations I will post. If you have any pictures, please e-mail them to me and will post them here at my blog.
The voting process here in La Palma, CA today was extremely smooth. Went to the Poll with Aaron today who was voting for the first time and we arrived at about 9:00am and we were out and done by 9:15am. Used an Electronic voting device that used a WHEEL. Was very easy to use but a little confusing at first. Overall a very good experience here in California..
After voting a little breakfast. Aaron and what was voting experience like.
I’ve looked for a video program that I could use to Post to my WordPress.com Blog and looks like I’ve found one. Take a peek below at Viddler video.
Many think…”Why does God let bad things happen to good people.” When in fact, it is our own choices we make that either help us through our journey or keep us from it.
He, God never fails in His miracles even though we may have to suffer at times. We may think that God has either forgot about us or doesn’t care because of the situations we get ourselves into. Remember that God is always with us no matter what and that He will never leave our side.
He, God has a good track record for delivering us out of our worst jams we may get in, or when we can’t seem to find our way out… God is there to help us.
Remember in your past, all the times you thought you would never get out of the trouble or mess you were in, then by divine intervention you found your way back to God. It was God who led you back from a life of disaster to a life of prosperity and love.
We can always count on God to bail us out of our trouble, or problems or even a life threatening situation. It is the love of God that keeps us from getting deeper into trouble and helps us see which direction our lives are going. We have to remember the miracles and wonders of creation that only He can do.
So don’t be troubled about situations or illnesses, because God truly loves us and there is nothing that can separate us from that love.

Pamela has always had a knack for making the right decision and the hiring of Ymelda was no exception. Ymelda became Chelsea’s primary Aide back in October 2004. After Pamela’s passing I don’t know what this household would have done without Ymelda’s help.
This past year when Chelsea was at the hospital, Ymelda came and watched Chelsea all 17 days of her hospitalization. Ymelda has been Chelsea’s Guardian Angel.
Ymelda has done ALL things Chelsea including trips to Knotts Berry Farm and Disneyland.
God placed trust in your eyes;
Just for those who are afraid of trusting others.
God placed in your heart love;
for those who are hurting and broken.
God placed in you life friendship;
for you to nurture and enjoy.
God placed in your path;
hinders, to challenge your steps and test your faith.
God placed in you the strength to continue on;
so as not to tire from life’s setbacks.
God gave you a journey;
one that will bring both challenge and joy but most of all…
LOVE
God has entrusted you with a Church;
one that will flourish, prosper and grow in faith.
It is His plan for you;
but it is your choice to follow the plan that He set…
Or walk away.

While listening to the news yesterday (Oct. 29th) I was really sadened to hear the Tragedy that happened to Julian Alexander. This is a young kid only 20 yrs old, just married two weeks ago. Julian had never been in trouble with the law, ever…
Word has it that at 1:30am Tuesday morning Julian heard the noise outside his house which was policeman chasing four other young boys in front of his house. Julian grabs a stick and proceed to go outside the house to see what’s going on and he runs into the Anaheim Police officers running after the young boys and the officer seeing Julian with the stick in his hands fears for his life and fires to FATAL gunshots into Julians chest. The story really gets fuzzy after that because the officer proceeds to handcuff Julian who has been mortally wounded and then Police demand that family NOT come out of the house.
The officer was a 10yr veteran of the force and has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation. I could say many things but I won’t…You can take a peek at the video which is to your right in “Arthurs VodPod Videos”.
The only moral to this story that we might be able to pass onto our kids and others is that when confronted by Police Officers..DO NOT MOVE!!! – Don’t REACH/GRAB for your CELL PHONE.

Aaron has always been a good student in school but the first couple of years after the passing of Pamela were really hard on him and his grades suffered in his first year at Kennedy. I really worried about Aaron and whether he was going to be able to turn it around and improve the stupor he was in…
He went out for football and made the team in his Sophmore year and I knew that the demands of football practice,etc. was not going to help with making his grades any better. I guess you could say the lucky break came for Aaron when he got ill in October of 2006 and decided after that to no longer play football.
Prior to his dropping football my biggest concern was that when he graduated would he be able to get into the local JC. Well I can tell you that after that October I don’t really know what happened but Aaron made one of the BIGGEST-TURNAROUNDS I have ever seen. Now the only things that we regret is that if his first two years at Kennedy had been better he could have gotten into ANY SCHOOL in the Country.
Aaron finished his final two (2) years at Kennedy at a feverish pace and EXCELLEND in ALL subjects, Including Chemistry, Physics and Government. I was shocked when in his Junior year he was taking Chemistry and his teacher called to speak with me and I immediately thought OH-OH…She proceeded to tell me that it was a pleasure to have Aaron in her class and that he was such a good student… I SAID WHAT!!!
Aaron went on to take the SAT exam and did well..He initially thought he would be attending UNLV but later changed his mind and decided to apply at CSULB. Aaron received numerous scholarships and awards and has started off at CSULB on the right track.
Aaron, I just want to say that I am extremely proud of you and what you have been able to accomplish in light of everything that has happened.
We Love you and wish you the best….
Dad
One thing that you find out as a parent after your first child is that the personality differences between your kids can be dramatic.
Courtney was such a happy baby that was filled with a lot of smiles and had a glow in her eyes. CMOS as I like to call her weighed in at 6 lbs 17oz..This is considered good size for twins. CMOS ate a lot, grew quick and was walking at shortly over 9 months.
One of Courtney’s teachers called her a “Social Butter-Fly” because of her love for GAB with people. I see SOME things in Courtney that are very much like her mom…Sometimes there is certain way that Courtney looks that reminds me so much of Pamela that she could get ANYTHING out of me she wants when I see that look…It almost makes me want to cry.
I want to let Courtney know that i “LOVE-HER” and that I will always be here for her. That does not mean that I willl not discipline her when I have too…But as the song says: “Love Hurts”…
Love You Dad.
The past 15 months has been absolutely INCREDIBLE for Chelsea. She missed quite a bit of school last year and was hospitalized for about 17 days. It all started last year in Sept. 2007 when Chelsea started getting these STIFF-NECKs that would last for a week or so and then go away. This Neck problem continued through the end of 2007 and finally culminated in January with Chelsea not being able to walk and having to be HOSPITALIZED in Kaiser PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit).
Doctors performed intensive testing on Chelsea and also did a Brain & Spine MRI that determined that she had swelling on the brain and spine. Initial diagnosis was that she had the DEADLY Glioma-Stem Tumor. One of the sadest days of my life was when the doctors spoke with me about Chelsea’s prognosis and told me that we would do everthing possible to make Chelsea comfortable. Basically the doctors were telling me to prepare for the worst because this type of tumor is non-operable.
Doctors continued to give Chelsea a daily regimen of steroids to try and reduce the swelling. Because Chelsea was so ill and had lost more than 20lbs she could not hold any food on her stomach. Doctors decided to use NG-Tube to feed Chelsea and she stayed on that tube for almosts two months.
The Steroid began to yield results and Chelsea began to get stronger…After 17 days in the hospital Chelsea was finally well enough to go home. It was real slow-go for Chelsea once she got home…She could not walk and was wheel chair bound…
Some of the best news of my life came in the form of a call from the doctor at Kaiser on March 19. A follow-up Brain & Spine MRI that Chelsea had taken the month before showed that there was NO SWELLING. Doctorss came to the conclusion that what they had initially diagnosed as the Glioma-Stem Tumor was now being called a POST INFECTION. . To hear that news took me from the bottom to the TOP-OF-THE-WORLD…
Little Chelsea – One of Pamela’s Joyful Trio was going to be Ok..
P.S. Now Chelsea is back to school, walking again and received PT/OT (Physical & Occupational Therapy) once a week.
Ok you guys…Remember a little over a month ago I asked each of you to send me a little write-up on what you recall is your BEST Pamela Memory. I hope you did not think I was just collecting that information and would never do anything with it….That’s NOT my style.
Listed below are some of the beautiful PAMELA memories that you sent to me:
Billy Fisher
On the occasion of Pamela Fisher Bankhead’s fifty-first birthday, I reflect and remember the courage she demonstrated during challenging times. Pamela was just nineteen years old when our mother passed away and twenty years old when our father passed thirteen months later. Pamela was our parents’ caregiver during their last days. Her courage and determination enabled her to remain in college, and she subsequently graduated two years following the death of our father. Although she was one year shy of her twenty-first birthday, Pamela immediately assumed responsibility as executor of the family estate.
At this time, I fondly remember Pamela, my youngest sister.
She was a true champion!

I remember Pamela laugh……she was get soo tickle, especially after have a cocktail. She once told me she had to hide her meds and vitamins when Diane would come over. She said “Eva do you know Diane is
crazy” I said yea that’s what I have been trying to tell you and she said, ” I mean she is really crazy”, We had a big laugh about that, but you know it was all in fun.
There are so many wonderful memories with Pamela and our family gathering. Most memorable one is our
last Christmas together. It will be forever etched in my memory. You know I still haven’t figured out why I was always MRS. FREEMAN, and you know she would drag it out.
James comments…..He said when he helped Pamela set her furniture up in her apartment in her bedroom
he was putting her dresser together and in doing so he ran across her undies in the dresser drawer, she started scrambling for the drawer saying Mr Freeman “I’ll get that” he said like she was embarrassed because he saw them, he said they had a big laugh about that.
Oh, Nicole promised to help the children with their homework for repay of her help with her college papers.
Hold her to it.

I have so many fond memories from my childhood of Auntie Pamela, one quality I will always remember of Auntie Pamela is how determined she was no matter what the task. If she was determined to do something you knew she was going to do it. My fondest memory of Auntie Pamela was her playing the piano for me one summer when I visited Mississippi. She would play “I am Woman” by Helen Reddy and even though I couldn’t sing a lick she would play for me just the same and I would
sing along.

I am so happy that I and Aunt Pamela shared the time together that we did. I remember when my mother worked night shift for the Post Office and I would stay overnight with Aunt Pamela often. We would stay up and watch “The Golden Girls” and drink tea. Aunt Pamela would even let me sleep with all of my dolls in the bed. And in the mornings should we make me cheese toat and eggs. This is a very cherished memory of mine, I can remember it like it was yesterday. And I miss and think about her all of the time. I always felt like Aunt Pamela was always so proud of me. I know she would be so happy to see where I am now, education was so important to her, that’s why I know she is somewhere up above looking down and saying “job well done”.

Please feel free to Post your comments or to let me know if you have any other GREAT Pamela moments.

Pamela and I first met sometime in October 1984 when she started working with CCH Computax. The first thing I ever noticed about this BEAUTIFUL lady was her genuine loving/caring smile. What really sticks out about Pamela is that no matter what this World “Threw” at her…She was determined to ALWAYS be positive.
You know Pamela could smile in situations that most of us would have to lay down in bed and COVER-UP. I recall the day we went on the “Ensenada/Catalina Island” Cruise. Right before going on that cruise Pamela had went to the beauty salon and the SCARIEST thing happened…While getting her hair washed ALL of her Hair came out as a result of the Chemotherapy…Most would have cancelled that cruise and never been heard of again…
What did Pamela do ??? – Go out and get a WIG and we want on that cruise and partied like it was 1999. None of our friends that went on that trip ever knew that Pamela had lost her hair…She could remain calm under the darkest of circumstances.
You know Pamela was from a large family of twelve (12) siblings. Listed below are some of the beautiful PAMELA memories that I requested her sisters and brothers send to me:

Hi this is Arthur and I finally got around to creating my very own Blog. Really wanted a place I could call MY-OWN that would be SPAM-FREE and I could do a little writing, posting pictures and some videos. If you look over to the right you will see I have a FAMILY category. My plan is talk about my two favorite subjects, Technology & Finance and add some daily writings. Look to the right and you will see my VodPod videos which I will keep updated with the latest BIG happenings. Please feel free to browse around and make comments.
