Hello Internet Marketer,
I am so glad you took time to come out and read this week's issue. You are important to me, not only as a subscriber, but also as a fellow internet marketer. I hope you enjoy this issue.
If you have been with me for any length of time, you will have recognized that I do not do much "vouching" for products. If I do not like them, I just simply do not put my two cents in for them. It is that simple. With that said, I have come across a product that I really, really like.
Have you heard of i-Marketing Organizer? Jude Wright created this. I will tell you this; i-Marketing Organizerr is one of the best pieces of software I have come across. It is just what it says, an organizer.
Now if you have been in the internet marketing game for any length of time, you will have had to start a "book" of some sorts just to keep up with all your affiliate programs, ezine subscriptions, email addresses, contacts, usernames, passwords, links, html codes, and let's not forget the downloads: purchased and free. Haven't you?
For myself, I started out like most people, writing it down in notebooks, creating files, saving passwords and forgetting to update the file with the new password. Even worse yet, be in the middle of something and then "life" happens and you have to leave the computer for a day or week. You try to make a mental note to update the file with the new password, if you can remember where you "saved it." Then when you return, nothing comes to mind. Yet, in the back of your mind, you sort of remember, maybe, that you needed to do something, but you are so far behind it is set aside, again. Then, you forget again and later on as time goes by: bam! You need it, but short on time, and cannot remember much less know where to look for it. Does this sound familiar? I know some of you have to be smiling now; the disaster is in the past, until the next time.
i-Marketing Organizer is the answer to your searching woes. It keeps it "all" and I do mean "all" under one roof. From web sites to contacts to the stuff you sell on e-Bay, i-Marketing Organizer has it. No more will you have to open up your email editor to find a contact, it is already at your fingertips.
The time it takes to enter all your important "stuff" is returned to you repeatedly as "all your important stuff's" location whereabouts is in one place, the i-Marketing Organizer. No more searching for your download location of a new e-book that you purchased two weeks ago because you had the flu and cannot remember what the name is much less, where you stashed it.
I recommend this one program for your business needs. i-Marketing Organizer will help you stay on top of your business by freeing up you to do your business instead of searching for vital documents.
Take a moment and click this link: http://tinylink.com/?tPvZFB5fFT. A new window will open up. Read it. Is this product not what you have been looking for and not finding? i-Marketing Organizer's is on sale at a discount price of $77.00; do not let this great software discount slip away and have to pay the full price. I do not know how long Ms. Wright will allow this discount to stay active, so go out there, and get yours. Please don't wait and have to pay the full price. Open the window now and get it. i-Marketing Organizer

Ouote of the Day!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What is Man?
A Message from Pastor: Daniel Shanks
A perplexing question of every age, and especially in our day! With all of our knowledge and scientific progress, people are still not happy or satisfied. We may understand things today that baffled our forefathers, but we still cannot understand ourselves.
Are men and women only animals? If there is no God, then man is only an animal, a physical being. This is a popular view today. We are told that mankind is the product of a mindless process of evolution. If this is so, our greatest needs are physical and material. Such things as prosperity and pleasure are all that matter. If there is no God, then we should "eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die." If there is no God, then life has little meaning, and right and wrong are simply what we like or dislike.
But the Bible presents an altogether different and more logical picture. Man is a spiritual being. Man was made by God, for God, and in the image of God (Gen 1:2 7; Prov 16:4). This does not mean a physical image; it means that you, like God, have a moral and rational nature. You can reason, design, worship, and explore like no other of God's creatures. You also have a conscience that tells you the difference between right and wrong. Unlike all the other creatures, man alone can know God. The most important thing is to be right with God, and to be accepted of Him. If He does exist, death is not the end. Material problems, while not to be ignored, are not the main issue.
If man is so privileged, though, why is he so evil? Why the hatred, bitterness, murders, wars, hostility? Why are we destroying the environment? Why, in a world of plenty, do so many die of starvation? The answer is that man is a "sinner." Sin has shattered the image of God in man and distorted our knowledge of our Maker.

Retailers Spread the Word with Environmentally Friendly Products
By Aldene Fredenburg
Supermarkets and other retailers are jumping on board the environmental consciousness train, promoting more and more of their products as environmentally friendly; meanwhile, mainstream food manufacturers are opting in to the organic food trend.
From Welch's grape juice to organic lettuce in the produce bins, food retailers are getting the message that natural is in. Natural snacks are being advertised on national TV as being available in supermarkets, and entire sections of these giant markets are being devoted to food and cleaning products formerly found only in natural foods stores.
Retailers increase the bottom line by promoting recyclable tote bags.
One practice welcomed by environmentally conscious consumers is the selling of reusable tote bags of natural canvas, designed to replace the "paper or plastic" alternatives available at most grocery checkout counters. For a reasonable price, customers can purchase the requisite number of canvas totes to package their groceries and then reuse the bags on future trips to the store, doing their bit to save the environment and saving the retailers a few pennies on every transaction in the process. Savvy retailers often order the canvas totes with their store logo and street address on the bags, a way to market their business and engender customer loyalty while positioning themselves as environmentally friendly. Additional products, such as mini tote lunch bags and backpacks, provide another income stream. For real purists, these bags are often available made of organic cotton canvas.
Closing the circle: promoting products made from recycled materials.
All the recycling campaigns in the world aren't worth anything if consumers don't buy products made from the collected recyclables. Luckily, more and more products are available using materials manufactured from paper, plastic, and other collected waste materials. From toilet tissue and paper towels made from recycled paper to numerous products created from waste plastic, an increasing number of consumer goods are available that complete the cycle. One interesting development is the creation of artificial fabrics made from discarded soda bottles. Ecospun® fiber ends up being used in everything from tote bags and backpacks to sturdy, weather-resistant outerwear.
Forty years ago, collection of waste materials for recycling was a novelty, a practice pushed by environmental purists, and a lot of pundits wrote it off at that time as a fad. Now it's standard practice in nearly every community in the country. Now organic foods, chemical-free cleansers, and the purchase of durable goods made from recycled materials are entering the mainstream in a big way, coming out of the esoteric closet of natural food stores New Age shops and into major supermarket chains and clothing retailers. It remains to be seen whether this trend is a fad, or an enduring practice as more and more people become aware of the benefits of recycling.

Resources To Help YOU Build Your Business~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Team-Building Can be as Fun as It is Productive, with the Right Plan and Planner
In today's increasingly global marketplace, companies are forced to set themselves apart from a sea of look-alikes and, as many CEOs are finding out, perhaps the most effective way to do this is through corporate team training events.
The bottom line is this: Team training equates to team building and team building equates to team success. And, of course, team success equates to project success, and ultimately a business' success.
Often referred to as "corporate events," these pre-planned occasions have proven to develop team cohesiveness, motivation and productivity - areas no business leader can overlook. What's more, the events are fun and exciting and appropriately challenging, prompting the string results every business leader or business owner desires.
In fact, corporate event planning has become so wildly popular that corporate event ideas now range from unique team building weekends and retreats, outdoor team building activities, even specially designed team building courses, to themed team building activities and fun team building events like cocktail parties where members of a team learn to make cocktails together.
And, because no business leader has the time or resources to plan and oversee such events, most now rely on corporate hospitality and corporate event planner to put together packages that excite and entice team members and, while sparking a renewed sense of motivation.
Corporate events and weekends seem to be most popular in the UK, where there is a variety of activities and events to choose from. The trick is getting with your own corporate event manager and working together to determine what is best for you and your group.
Perhaps the only challenge a business owner or team manager has is to determine which exciting team building event to choose. But, then again, that's what the experts can help you to determine, for your focus needs only to be on having fun with your team.
Once an event or weekend is decided on and the team activities have been chosen, the rest is all about results! And the best part is that the team members have so much fun that they don't even realize they are "working" on team building, motivation, productivity - a business' real concerns. Instead, they enjoy each other away from the office and, in not time at all, see each other in a different light - a light that can now shine on their results once back at the office!
Wayne Langley works with Chillisauce, a London-based corporate events and team building company that regularly plans unique and beneficial corporate events for businesses throughout the UK.

Data Backup By
1. All electronic devices will fail
You can buy the best hard disk in this world, but know for a fact that one day, your hard disk will surely fail. This can be due to accidents or more commonly, a natural death such as wear and tear. And when that happens, you might have to pay a great deal just to recover your data if you do not backup your data regularly.
2. Learning from past experiences
Statistics have shown that among companies which suffered from data loss, 50% never re-open and 90% are out of business within the next 2 years.
Hardware and system malfunction attributes to 44 % of all data loss, while human error is responsible for 32%, software corruption 14%, computer virus 7% and natural disaster which accounts for 3% of all data loss.
A recent research also revealed that it takes at least 19 days and cost approximately $17,000 just to recover 20 Mega Bytes worth of sales and operational data! And given today's technology whereby hard disks can easily have capacities reaching more than 500 GB, you can imagine the amount of damage you're likely to incur if you're to lose just 1% of your data.
3. Inexpensive Backup Media
Backup media such as CD and DVD recordable are affordably priced and widely available. DVDs now support up to the capacity of 8.5GB or more.
4. The Internet
Be wary if you are a hyper Internet user. Because the World Wide Web is infested with malicious viruses and worms that can attack your computer and damage your data without you knowing. Even with full fledge protection such virus scans and firewalls, you can never be 100% sure.
5. The Alternatives
You can not afford the alternatives! Computer users around the world spend thousands of dollars just to recover data that takes only a short time to back up. Just as the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry!
Adroit Data Recovery Centre (ADRC) Pte Ltd is the data recovery expert established since 1998. Headquartered in Singapore and Malaysia, we recover data for customers from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Philippines, Brunei and Vietnam.

Key Chain: Small Organizer That Gives Big Results
Key chains are organizing tools. Anyone who has fumbled with a key and got frustrated knows what it means not to organize keys in a key chain. Almost always, the sorry part happens during times when you are in a hurry or when you most need them.
On the other hand comes the property nut who want to have all the myriad of keys in one lump that when he need a particular key in a hurry he fails to identify them as he will have to sort out from all the keys that he carries. Of course it will be easier if he had been in the practice of lumping keys that he can pick the right key in a flash even in total darkness, otherwise, a better way is having keys organized in a key chain.
If you have often been fumbling with keys and has rearranged them in all possible combinations but has not succeeded let me help you.
Good organization is keeping things in their places that we have already been used to and can easily place objects because we know that what we need are in there assigned location. The most efficient way to loose things is placing them anywhere that is convenient during the time. If you have been moving quite a bit, looking for the object when you need it will take a while of scouring and much fumbling and mumbling. Even when you hate the experience, chances are you will do it again because, as mentioned, it is convenient. Unless the style is changed.
But key chains are convenient gadgets both for the property nut and for the total nut like you and me. After so many mistakes here's what I learned.
- Carry only the essentials. Limiting the keys that you carry will make it easier for you to remember which is for which that will make you pick out the right one even on the first try.
- You can lump in one key chain a key for the house and for the office and maybe for another lock that is very important to you. There are types of key chains that make you organize by categories and attach keys that you will need for the day.
- Lump things according to categories. One key chain for certain type of cabinets (if you have an assortment of cabinets), one key chain for doors, one key chain for the locks.
- Color-code your keys for certain types. There are plastics that could be slipped into keys or attach to them so that you can easily determine which one is for the gate, the office locks or the bicycle lock. Color-coding is one good way to help the memory.
- Numbering the keys is also good at reminding us what key is for what lock.
Experiment with whatever will suit you best. Usually the best tip that has proven to be successful for many will never work for some. Habits and lifestyle influences much in how we organize things. Creativity in using the key chains can also help a lot. There is therefore no perfect system. The only best system is the system that works well for you. But in all instances, there is no replacement for good organization. Let the key chain help you.

Label Printing
Organization has been something elusive to many of us for decades. We all constantly lose thing, and wish we had a more organized system of record keeping. Whether it was digging through the attic to find the old Christmas decorations we stuffed into a million different boxes in a rush and panic to get them down before Easter, or organizing all of our financial records so we aren't nailed to the wall when tax time comes around with Uncle Sam rapping at our doors, we've all been there. We've all thought to ourselves, "I need to get more organized!" We've all made resolutions in the tradition of the New Year to organize our lives and keep them that way. These grandiose projects always start out with the best of intentions and somehow get lost and slip through the cracks, leaving us in the same place the next time around. Fortunately for all of us, there is available the features and benefits of label printing.
Brother, a company devoted to printing technology, has infused themselves in the label making market as a top competitor. With their series of P-Touch label makers, an organized living has never been easier. The P-touch label makers run on adhesive label tapes ranging in size from 9/64" to 2-3/7", and in several different styles such as laminated, flexible ID, extra strength adhesive, tamper evident, iron on fabric, and several others. The line starts with the PT-1280 ($39.95 MSRP) for a lower end model, perfect for the home user, which will print up to two lines, with 6 automatic formats, with 5 available framing options, 9 different type styles, and even 3 unique type sizes.
The very top of the brother label maker line is PT-9600 ($499.95 MSRP) which includes up to 16 lines worth of printing space, has 10 different fonts, 25 different type sizes ranging from six point to seventy-six point, 14 different type styles, using six different sizes of label tapes, and even a 60 character LCD display. To contrast the top and bottom of the line does not do justice to the products that ride on the middle road of Brother's line. Suffice to say that Brother's impressive line of label makers runs the gamut as far as features, price, and usability to fit every different user's needs. Even for such business usages as printing shipping labels, or mass producing mailing labels. Even as far as organizing all the archives of paperwork in an easy to find, and sort manner. Brother's label makers infuse usability with practicality in a very user friendly way.
The applications for Brother's label maker series remain limited only by the imagination of the user. From the average "Joe somebody" to the big business, and everything in between, there is no one who cannot find a use for a label maker. With the moderate pricing on the products, everyone will be able to find a label maker to all of their needs at a price they can handle easily.

Gardening Tips To Improve Your Landscape, Vegetable Garden & Outdoor Life~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do Garden Statues Have a Place in a Modern Garden?
The great classic gardens of the past almost always featured garden statues as focal points in their designs. These would often be on a grand scale, with larger than life portrayals of men, women, birds and beasts. They would be used to attract the eye down particular vistas, to add height and interest to a flat area, or to provide a foil for water gardens or ponds.
Can those classic traditions be transported to ordinary householders' garden? The answer to that is "yes", although it is usually in a miniature form. A small garden cannot reasonably display a 20 ft stone statue, but can attractively display the same design at one tenth of the height. Garden statues have therefore become very popular for the modern garden and gardener.
Materials Used in Garden Statues
Garden statues have traditonally been carved from natural stone, but similar and often cheaper results are now commonly achieved through the use of concrete moulds. Apart from concrete and stone, though, some may prefer the shiny Asian garden decor created from bronze. However, that is not all that is available. Marble is a type of stone, but deserves separate mention due to its superior and luxurious lustre; you can also find garden statues in fibreglass and metals other than bronze.
Concrete statues, although tough, can still get damaged, and concrete aggregates such as fibrestone are now regularly used in the production of garden statues from concrete moulds. Fibrestone, for example, is concrete reinforced with a fine but very strong mesh, which gives extra strength and durability. This is ideal for high quality, long lasting statues, and can even be used effectively for large, classic style statues for the larger country garden. Also, being lighter than concrete on its own, fibrestone is easier to transport and move around the garden should the need arise.
As with many product, you can go to the bottom end of the market and choose plastic statues. These may fulfill your immediate needs, but if you are seeking to reproduce a classic garden of old, you will probably prefer sticking to stone, concrete or concrete aggregates. It is well worth the extra expense both for statues and outdoor planters.
Subjects for Garden Statues
There has always been a wide choice of subjects for garden statues. Many are of classic origin, such as cherubs, angels, Appollo, Venus, Sphynx and many more religious and mythical icons. In recent times, though, animals have become a popular choice of subject for garden statues, and you may find the majority of the statues you see today are of animals. Statues of lions and unicorns go back many centuries, but today most popular animals can be found as garden statues. Cat and dog statues are easy to find, but you can also find frogs and toads, squirrels and other animals.
Planning Statue Placement
The best time to consider where to place garden statues is when you are planning your garden design and layout, but that is not a necessity and may not be practical anyway. The great country gardens of the past, and today, used large statues as focal points in vistas, or in prominent positions, where they can freely impose their stature without detracting from the rest of garden. Smaller statues can be very effective in small gardens, but to get maximum effect, as with large gardens, it is worth spending a bit of time considering their surrounds so they blend in seamlessly with the garden design. Just buying a statue while you are out because it catches your eye may lead to disappointment when you get it back home and find it looks out of place in your agrden wherever you put it.

Kid's Corner~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Children Who Are Given an Advantage
As a mother of 2 - 7-year old Donovan and 22-year old Darren, I knew early on in their lives that I would not leave their education totally up to the schools and teachers. I decided that I would give these kids an edge in life, in their education. I'm just an ordinary, everyday, 'run-of-the-mill' mother who struggles like everyone else. I only have a high-school diploma and 2 years of college but I have great hopes and dreams for my 2 boys. This is what I did to give them "the edge"!
I began reading to my sons while they were fresh out of the womb. I believe that reading to them often, singing to them and talking to them (not in baby language), truly gives them the edge that they will need in life. The experts say that a child's mind developes and learns quickly and gets the bulk of knowledge between ages 0 - 3 years...I believe them! I knew that somewhere in the back of those tiny little heads, that information was being stored for later use.
Now, at first, my mom thought that I was lunatic when she'd learned that my 18-month old not only knew his ABC's but could count to 20. A little after he'd passed 3 1/2, he was counting well passed 100. He'd learned all of the planets, most of the presidents, all of the states (their location on an empty map) and most of their capitals, could spell the months and days of the week and so much more! By the time they began preschool, the could recognize and spell small 3 and 4 letter words. I would read to them everyday.
The first thing I did was purchased a mat (from Wal-mart) with the ABC's on them and the ABC's would all correspond with names of animals that began with those letters. I also purchased flash cards (same place) that has everyday words on them. Once they began recognizing and spelling those everyday words, they began reading like little pros!
It really wasn't hard work at all! It pays off in HUGE dividends. Both my sons have been at THE top of their class - not just 'one of the top' in their class! And you know what...they love it! The 22-year old could write his name in cursive just after turning 4 years of age. They both are excellent in math, English and especially reading. My older son, even today, reads all kinds of books. Everywhere he goes, if there's a magazine or literature around, he will pick it up to read. It makes your kids well-rounded. My 7 year old is an advid reader as well. He's been tested at school and in the first grade, his reading was 3.8 meaning he reads on a third-grade level, 8 months into school. He's now in 2nd grade and his reading average is 4.6 which means he reads on a 4th-grade level, 6 months into school. His overall reading grade for the year is 104.6%. His overall spelling grade is 110% and math is 99%. Great speller! He earns 100s 99% of the time!
Thing is, your child can do it too! Don't waste your money on the expensive stuff, just go to Wal-mart, K-mart or retailers such as these and purchase the flash cards for spelling, counting, multiplying, etc. The 7-year old has known the entire multiplications (1 - 12) since beginning school last year, so, just before he started 2nd grade! It's not that he's a genius, it's just that I started small and kept teaching until I had no more to teach him for his age. I've even begun teaching him geometry - 6th grade level and he can actually work most of the problems that I give him. He has grasped the concept! Amazing that when you teach and teach them, the concepts of these classes become so easy for them to grasp!
Most importantly, read to your child each and every day WITHOUT FAIL! And, when they began reading on their own, make them read at least 45 minutes a day.
I've purchased the Scholastic dictionary, encyclopedia and many chapter books for him to read. He has to read on the weekend as well. He's learned so many "fun facts" and he knows quite a bit about just about any subject you ask whether it's about animals, people, places or things. He amazes me most times. My older son is the same.
I remember when he first began kindergarten in Nashville, TN, the teacher asked me to come in so that she could talk to me. I couldn't imagine what on earth she wanted because I knew that he couldn't be misbehaving - he knows I don't stand for it!
Well, she said, 'I have just one thing to say...I'm dumbfound'! She said that she'd asked the children to get the magazines she had on the bookshelf and to cut out pictures and make a collage. She wanted them to write a story based soley on the pictures they saw. Well, my son got a magazine "People" and took it up to her and actually started reading it - small words, big words and all! She was so stunned that she had to call me in to tell me.
My 7-year old had a teacher who had the same reaction! He'd begun private school here in Memphis, TN when he was in what they call "Pre-K" (kindergarten). She told me one day, 'Ms. Ballard, Donovan can read'. I said 'uh-huh'. She said, 'No, Ms. Ballard, I mean that he can REALLY read'! I said, 'yeah, I know...I'm the one who taught him'. I then told her how he knows the names of the planets, presidents, states, capitals, months, days of the year, the Pledge of Allegiance,etc. She said 'Well give you self a pat on the back...that is just awesome, fantastic'!
As I mentioned before, it's really not hard. Other tips that I recommend is to point, a lot, to objects when children first began "small talk". They will pick up on lots of words this way. Their vocabulary will soar! My son and I would drive by signs on the way to school and to work and say and spell words on regular street signs or think of synonyms for words or homophones.
One way that would get your child to view reading as fun is to get them a personalized books. These books have the child's name written into the storyline. That child will not be able to put the book down. If they can't read, I'll bet that they'd TRY to read it and once they learn how to read that book, they will not put it down! I just wished that I'd known about these children's personalized books when my sons were small and didn't know how to read or were just beginning to read! I would've gotten a complete library of them!
I just love teaching my kids new things and it's a joy to see them really "get it"! I would love to help you help your child to read. It, to me, brings lots of satisfaction. Please email me at beverly_ballard@hotmail.com and I can tell you how to order these books. There are lots and lots of titles from which to choose and I'm sure that there's a title to suit your needs.
Keep up the work the work and the foundation that you may have set already and remember, the key is to R-E-A-D, R-E-A-D,
R-E-A-D!!!!
My name is Beverly Ballard and I am a single mother of 2 sons - a 7-year old and a 22-year old. I'm a working mother and I am the licensee of children's personalized books. I was born and raised in Memphis, TN and moved from Nashville, TN when I divorced my first son's father.
I love seeing the joy of a child whose first learning to read! Reading makes children well-rounded in all subjects! Other subjects will just "fall in place" once they become advid readers.
I've been told more times than not that I should have been a teacher. Although I love teaching my kids, I just didn't think that "teaching" was my calling. I've offered help to my son's mother-in-law who has a child who doesn't read and he is age 7 just like my son. When she's around, she gets a book and asks my 7-year old to read to her! It's very heart-breaking because I know that this child is every bit as bright as Donovan. I've offered to tutor her child on Saturdays so that I could teach her to read and my only request was that the monther bring the child to me and that I would return her. "No takers

Viral Marketing - Getting the word out about your site~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
About Viral Marketing
Viral marketing is the Internet equivalent of advertising by"word of mouth". Why the virtual world chose to call this simple and innocuous concept 'viral' is anybody's guess. But conceptually, it is as sound as any other marketing tool and effectively generates traffic flow and business. Any viral marketing campaign comprises of five basic elements. Every campaign does not necessarily include all five elements, but the efficacy of the campaign can certainly improve if more elements are included.
The first of the five elements is to offer free products or services. People like a bargain, but they love free. This is kind of like the saying, "It takes money to make money". You give something away to gain a customer. The second element is that your virus, or message, must be easily transferred to others. It doesn't get much simpler than hitting a forward button within your e-mail program so this component is a part of any viral marketing campaign.
Your viral marketing campaign can be successful if you direct your efforts to offer people popularity, love, or emotional gratification of any kind. All marketing attempts seek to take advantage of the needs and urges of people. For instance, many businesses send e-mails promising to make people millionaires overnight. They continue to thrive upon the motivating power of greed, although on the face of it, it looks absurd and the odds are heavily against it.
The principle of viral marketing is essentially the same as"word-of-mouth" advertising. If your campaign reaches 10 people and each of these 10 people can reach another 5 people each in their inner network and so on and so forth, you will have reached a whole network of people. Everyone's inner network has around 10 people in it and most people have bigger networks due to business and extended families. The idea is to spread like a virus through these networks.
The final element of any successful viral marketing campaign is only important if indeed you do succeed. Assuming that you offer a free product or service that satisfies some emotional need and that people actually use their forward tab--what then? You are going to need the resources to handle all of the traffic heading your way. You need to be able to quickly transform from a small, hopeful enterprise into one that can process a lot of orders in a timely manner. Otherwise, the moment will pass and you will be back where you started. Therefore, you need a strategy that includes some way of bringing servers online as you need them. The best viral marketing campaign in the world will fail if customers cannot place orders. So, with planning and an effective hook that satisfies an emotional need, viral marketing does indeed work!

Seafood Stews: Healthful Recipes from Around the World
By Gabe Mirkin, M.D.
I love the seafood stews that come from almost
every region that borders on an ocean! They're
wonderful served over whole grains instead of white
rice or pasta. Here are some of my favorites to get
you started.
High concentrations of mercury and other toxins
have raised concerns about the safety of some seafoods,
but this appears to be a turf battle between various
fishing interests more than an actual health threat.
I believe that the benefits of seafood far outweigh the
potential health concerns. If you are pregnant or nursing,
check with your doctor for the latest guidance.
Cioppino (from Italy)
2 large onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 green peppers, or 1 green and 1 red, chopped
2-3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped, to taste
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 cups bouillon or dry red wine, or some of each
1 28-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes, undrained, broken up
1 6-ounce can tomato paste
1 tablespoon Italian spice blend or oregano
3 small zucchini, halved lengthwise, then cut in 1/4" slices
3 pounds (total) seafood -- your choice: shrimp, squid, any
firm white fish cut in 1" chunks, clams, mussels, scallops, etc.
1/2 cup chopped flat parsley
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
cooked whole grains of your choice (optional)
Combine the onions, garlic, peppers, celery and bouillon
or wine in a large pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and
simmer, covered, 10-15 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato
paste and spice blend and cook 10 minutes more. Add the zucchini.
Return the liquid to a boil and add the seafood. Cover the pot,
reduce the heat and cook, stirring once or twice, until the seafood
is done (5-10 minutes.) Add the parsley and black pepper; serve
over whole grains if desired.
8-10 servings
Kejenou (from Africa)
1 large onion, chopped
2 green peppers, chopped
1 cup bouillon + 1 extra teaspoon bouillon granules
8 parsnips, sliced
1 28 oz. can Italian style (plum) tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 pound fresh green beans, sliced, or 1 cup frozen green beans
1 pound firm white fish fillet of your choice, cut in chunks
Cooked whole grains (optional)
Cook the onion and green peppers in the bouillon for
5 minutes to softern. Add the parsnips, tomatoes and spices
and cook 10-15 minutes or until the parsnips are just tender.
Add the green beans and simmer 5 minutes; add the fish chunks
and simmer 5 minutes more, or until the fish is firm and no
longer translucent, and the green beans are crisp-tender.
Serve over whole grains.
4-6 servings
Paella (from Spain)
1 large onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup bouillon
2 teaspoons oregano
pinch cayenne, to taste
4 cups cooked barley, brown rice or other whole grains of your choice
1 28-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes, undrained, broken up
1 red bell pepper, cut in 1/2" chunks
1 pound asparagus, cut in 1-2" pieces (reserve the tips)
1 6-ounce jar artichoke hearts, drained
2-3 pounds cleaned mixed seafood of your choice (peeled shrimp,
scallops, lobster tails, mussels, clams, 1" chunks of any fish)
Cook the onion, celery and garlic in the bouillon to soften,
5-10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients except the asparagus
tips; bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered,
10-15 minutes or until the asparagus are tender. Stir in the asparagus
tips, artichokes and seafood, cover and cook about 5 minutes more,
or until the seafood is opaque and any shells are opened.
6-8 servings
Louisiana Oysters and Shrimp
4 cups water
2 bay leaves
1 pound shrimp
1 onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 green pepper, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 28-ounce can plum tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, or to taste
2 teaspoon fresh thyme, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
3 cups okra or green beans, cut in bite-size pieces (fresh or frozen)
1 pint shucked oysters and their liquid
Freshly ground black pepper
Cooked brown rice or barley
Bring the water and bay leaf to a boil in a pot, add
half of the shrimp and cook just until they turn pink,
about 2 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon and put
them in a colander. Bring the liquid back to a boil and cook
the other half of the shrimp the same way. Run cold water over
the shrimp, drain and set them aside. Strain the cooking liquid
and return 1 cup of it to the pot. Bring the liquid to a boil,
add the chopped onion, garlic, green pepper and celery, and
simmer 5-10 minutes or until they are tender. Add the tomatoes,
parsley, hot sauce, thyme and fennel to the pot and simmer for
20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the okra or beans and
simmer 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel the shrimp. Add shrimp and the oysters (with
their liquid) and cook just until the oyster edges are curled,
about 5 minutes. Serve over brown rice, with ground pepper and
additional hot sauce to taste.

Baby Sign Language - Communication Before Speech
Prior to mastering the art of speech, your baby has great difficulty in communicating his needs to you. This can cause frustration for you both -- yet there is a solution. Baby sign language is rapidly becoming popular as a means of recognising -- and responding to -- a young baby's needs.
Babies can be taught sign language from any age, but they really begin to take notice of the signs from around six months and may begin using them from as early as seven to eight months of age. As many parents will testify, babies understand an awful lot more than they are able to communicate through speech at this stage.
Some parents fear that using baby sign language may hamper their child's speech development later on. Research into this subject, however, shows that children taught baby sign in infancy go on to develop superb language skills. In some cases, they may learn to speak earlier and often have an increased ability to learn a second language.
There are other benefits to introducing baby sign language - studies indicate that children who sign often develop a higher than average IQ. The major advantage for parents, of course, is to be able to identify their babies' needs and respond appropriately -- easing the frustrations that can lead to tantrums. Once this channel of communication is open, many parents feel that a deeper bond with their child is formed, creating a great sense of harmony.
There are various methods by which you can learn to sign with your child -- no prior knowledge is needed, so learning along with your baby is part of the fun! It is important to remember to say the word when introducing any signs to your baby and to use the signs consistently - both in the home and outside it. Also, try to familiarise anyone who cares for your child with the signs they are using.
Some people like to invent their own signs to use with their babies, whereas others prefer to use conventional signs based on formal sign language -- the advantage of using these is that they are recognised by a wide group of people. There are many books, DVDs and flashcards available, based on formal signing, that make learning this new skill both simple and enjoyable.
Taking into account the benefits that this simple communication can bring, it's no wonder that more and more parents are using baby sign language -- and achieving a fascinating insight into their babies' minds!

Improve Your Dog's Health With a Natural Diet
It goes without saying that your dog needs suitable nutrition to remain healthy. Vets and pet food manufacturers often have differing views on appropriate nutrition for your dog. Although commercial pet food manufacturers are motivated in large part by profits, commercially prepared foods are routinely recommended as part of an adequate, or good, diet for your dog. Sometimes your vet or dog breeder may approve of commercially prepared foods as your dog's sole diet. Many experts, however, tend to prefer a largely natural diet which for dogs is invariably comprised of meat and bones. Raw is preferable to cooked, as some of the minerals are definitely lost in the cooking process.
The reason why the commercially prepared pet food is so often fed to our d |
