Hello amazing family:) I am back to feeling great and I truly mean great!!! I have been feeling healthy and strong. Miss all of you, and I hope you all enjoy my graphics,it makes me happy. I am still strong in my quit but I read here everyday to keep me grounded. I will never leave because this place fuels my spirit. And my best friends on earth are here . I wanted to also share something... I never really read all of my dad's death certificate because I knew why he died. But I was putting some of his things away, documents and I sat down and read it. In bold black letters it said cause of death respiratory failure due to tobacco use. Smoking!!!! Scary stuff and I spread the word like wildfire to people I know who smoke... it is so important!!! I carry my dad's driver's license in my wallet right by mine. Man I miss him:) It makes me realize I need to be close to God, or closer and live a better Christian life. I keep everyone in my prayers.... That we all stay strong in our quits:) love you all nikki. Oh and Noah has had 8 tests so far and got an 98 average!!!! So proud:)

You are in my Prayers as well nikki. Some years ago my dad quit smoking and they detected cancer in one of his lungs, which he had to have removed later on. At 75 he is in pretty rough shape with COPD and other kinds of lung and heart issues due to the years of smoking. This addiction is insane because I chose to still smoke even after his sugery, and watching many other family members & friends suffer. Anyway, I truly feel for you. At least no one can take his memories outta your heart, so he is still with you always. I know it's not the same as being right there, but it sure helps. I am very scared of losing my own Dad and to respect his wishes, I quit smoking for him and myself. I am very proud of you and so glad you are here.

Nikki, So glad to see your blogs. I missed your grapics when your weren't here. I am sooo happy you are feeling better. My father died when I was 13, he was killed in a industrial accident. My dad was a heavy smoker( camels unfilter no less. I can still hear him coughing. It wasn't pretty. Makes me wonder why I ever picked up that nasty habit. Although, at the time I never associated his hacking with his smoking. You know Nikki, he has been gone for over 50 years, and I still miss him so much. He was a great father and I miss him like crazy. If you can't tell, I was definately a Daddy's girl. One thing though I can feel his presence from time to time. I know he would be pleased I finally found somethink that made me quit, and that was this site

Each School System high school's JROTC team is encouraged to enter an outstanding cadet at each level.

Glenn Heights approves zoning
By 12/14/2006 00:00:00
The Ellis County Press
Glenn Heights - The City of Glenn Heights Planning and Zoning Commission met Monday, Dec. 11 at 7:30 p.m. to approve a specific use permit for Neal's Nursery School located at 1523 Wavecrest Drive.
The permit was approved by the P&Z, and it is now pending approval of the city council.
A Specific Use Permit is needed any time a residence is being used for anything other than the primary residence of the occupants.
A question of why orange marking stakes were placed 40 feet into her (and her neighbors') front yard on Bear Creek Road, without her permission or knowledge was posed to the commission by citizen Paula Martinez.
Since the issue was not on the agenda, the commission would not give any information to Martinez, but rather, referred her to Glenn Heights Public Works Director for information.
On Tuesday, Dec. 12 the Parks and Recreation Board was set to convene at 7:30 p.m. to review issues of soccer fields, a Red Oak Soccer Association proposal, a Red Oak Girl's Softball Association proposal, a water park equipment presentation and to review updates on the scoreboard program.
On Thursday, Dec. 14, there would be a special meeting of the Governing Body of the City of Glenn Heights to certify the results of the Dec. 5, run-off election and to swear in the new mayor-elect, Clark Choate.
There would also be a discussion of 15 retail siite selections.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Three-gun is the most addictive competitive shooting sport I have tried—and is one of the reasons I will likely die broke. This sport is highly equipment-driven, so I decided to develop and build what I think is the best trio of firearms for competing in the Tactical Optics (TO) Division.
In the fast-action world of 3-gun shooting, the shotgun is both the hero and the villain. It can help you win the match, or it can reduce you to tears of frustration. Time and time again, the top shooters tell me that many matches—particularly in TO—are won or lost with the shotgun.
There are many reasons for that. The shotgun is loaded on the clock, and in TO it is the only gun that requires rounds to be individually loaded. Some matches have extensive shotgun stages with as many as 40 targets. In Open Class, shooters can use speed loaders or magazines in the Russian Saiga shotguns, but in TO, they are prohibited. So when the shells must be fed one at a time, the match can switch from a shooting contest to a loading contest. If you can't reload the shotgun faster than the other guy, you will almost surely lose.
Also, many 3-gun shooters come from handgun-action-shooting backgrounds. The USPSA shooters can typically pick up on the rifle technique easily, as it is similar to that of a handgun. Many of them lack shotgunning backgrounds, and they struggle with the moving targets and the techniques used to hit them.
The greatest factor of why shotguns can determine the outcome of a match, however, is reliability. Shotguns were not really designed to be used and abused the way they are in 3-gun shooting. I have witnessed far more equipment failures during a match with shotguns than with the other two firearms combined. I have seen shotguns stop working in spectacular fashion, from jams to total and catastrophic failure when parts of the gun fall out onto the ground.
When I started shooting 3-gun I used a gas-operated shotgun that had served me well in hunting, sporting clays, 5-stand and any other shotgun sport I tried. But, in the rough-and-tumble world of 3-gun, it quickly succumbed to failure, and not just once. I tried three different guns—including two different models—and I can't recall getting through a single match without a problem. I have enough other problems to worry about in any 3-gun match, so I started paying attention to the guns that worked. I noticed that many of the top shooters were shooting Benelli guns. When I asked why, the universal answer was, "Because they work!"
A good part of the Benelli's legendary reliability is due its inertia system that cycles the action. Gas-operated guns get dirty. When you are rapidly shooting hundreds of rounds in a single match, the carbon, fouling and unburned propellant mix with the dirt, dust or mud that is often part of this game, and the guns can grind to a halt. There is less propellant ejecta and other undesirable materials entering the operating system with each shot to build up and stall the shotgun. Of course, there are some excellent gas-operated shotguns being used in 3-gun, but nobody can deny that they all suffer from more carbon buildup than the Benelli. My goal was to build the ultimate three-gun battery with no-compromise firearms. For me, the path was clear, and I ordered a Benelli M2 with a 21-inch vent-rib barrel.
Of the three guns, at least for TO, the shotgun is the easiest for a hobby gunsmith to modify—up to a point. There are some modifications that go beyond the hobby stage. Some shotgun guys modify the return spring and the action by milling the bolt to lighten the weight. The idea is to increase its cyclic rate. Some of the top shotgun shooters can outrun any shotgun's action, so they want a faster cyclic rate. According to tests done by my buddy Pat Kelly, who is one of the fastest guys with a shotgun, the Benelli is capable of 0.13-second split times between shots. My splits in competition run about 0.2 second to 0.16 second. Because of my phobia about total reliability, I decided to leave the gun's operating system the way it was designed. I will leave the door open to modification if I ever improve enough to need a faster cyclic rate, but with my limited practice schedule and rapidly aging body, that's probably not going to happen.
Few of us will ever get fast enough to outrun any shotgun. At the 2011 Superstition Mountain Mystery 3-gun match, I listened to one competitor explain an elaborate and complicated process of milling parts and pieces on the operating system for his Benelli shotgun. "If you do all that it will run without a hitch," he smugly finished. The other guy looked at him like he had two heads and said, "It runs without a hitch right now, why on Earth would I want to mess with that?" I'm with that guy! I have seen too many modified shotguns fail in the middle of a stage, including several at that match.
Another common modification is to bevel the edges of the receiver in the shotgun's loading port. The idea is to help funnel the shells into the gun as you are loading. It probably is a good idea, but I just have not brought myself to attack my gun with a milling machine or Dremel tool yet. Some shooters weld shut the gap in the front of the loading gate. They have problems with the Benelli pinching their thumb when loading. It has never happened to me, probably because of my loading style, so again I am going to leave it alone.
The one absolutely necessary modification is to add an extended magazine. I looked at a lot of magazine tube extensions before ordering the Nordic Components kit. I like the metal tube because I think it's tougher and less prone to distortion from spring pressure or the barrel clamp. I also like the large metal clamp in the front that ties the barrel and magazine extension together. It's rugged and large enough to spread the clamping forces over a large surface area, so there is less chance of distortion in the magazine tube or the barrel. A lot of problems with extended magazines come from the follower as it makes the transition past the joint between the magazine and the extension. The NC-anodized metal follower is Teflon-coated and works far better than a plastic follower. The plastic can become damaged and frayed, and it lacks the lubricity of the coated metal follower. Also, a plastic follower can bend or distort if it encounters resistance; metal will not.
The spring that comes with the NC +5 (eight-shot total magazine capacity) kit is designed for this longer tube and is far too long for the eight shot. It must be trimmed to the correct length. One school of thought is to have just enough spring pressure to feed the last shell in the magazine into the action. But, that allows no margin of error. If there is a buildup of dirt, sand, or mud in the magazine, or if the shell has a burr on the rim or is distorted by an improperly seated wad or poor crimp, or if any one of a million other things are not perfect, there might not be enough pressure to push the shell into the action.
The need to apply a couple of ounces of more pressure on the shell as I am loading is an acceptable trade-off for the gun firing every time. So, by trial and error I cut the magazine spring so that when the gun is fully loaded I can push the ninth shell only about one-third of the way into the magazine. This gives me a margin of extra spring pressure to allow for all those aforementioned problems and to compensate for spring fatigue over time.
When I installed the magazine extension I put a drop of blue Loctite on the screws for the forward clamp. This allows me to remove the clamp for cleaning the gun, but keeps it in place during competition. I did not Loctite the fine threads on the magazine tube or the end cap, because I remove them often for cleaning and the fine threads do not respond well to Loctite buildup. But, I check them often during the match to ensure they are tight.

Isaac Victims Voice Frustrations to Army Corps of Engineers
Victims of Hurricane Isaac in Plaquemines Parish sounded off last night to members of the Army Corps of Engineers.
It was the first in a series of post Hurricane Isaac public forums.
The purpose was to reveal the results of a study to determine the impact of Isaac with and without flood walls.
The end result was an average inch more water in some areas.
Victims who attended the meeting weren't impressed with the findings.
They wanted answers to questions about future protection, and disaster relief.
They also wanted to hear from Parish President Billy Nungesser, but he did not attend the meeting.Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call

Petra Mathers
Petra Mathers came to the U.S. when she was 23. She started painting the walls in her son's room and eventually had a gallery showing of her art. Friends encouraged her to try illustrating children's books. Her early books were filled with black-and-white illustrations, but Petra really wanted to do color. She has moved on and among the books that have garnered praise are Kisses from Rosa, Sophie and Lou, Patchwork Island (poem by Karla Kuskin) and When It Snowed that Night (poems by Norma Farber). The New York Times commented that the latter is a lovely blend of art and poems. Our reviewer remarked that How Nanita Learns to Make Flan (1999, Atheneum, Ages 3 to 7, $16.00) combines the fantasy of a fairy tale with the tone of a folk tale, to create a well-illustrated original story about the shoemaker's daughter who has no shoes.
Petra now writes her own stories and accompanies them with full-color art. Her heart is in the Lottie stories and she said that she would like to be as prolific as Beatrix Potter and do scads of books. Her latest is Dodo Gets Married (2001, Atheneum, Ages 4 to 8, $16.00) in which Lottie's friend Dodo meets a retired Coast Guard helicopter pilot with a wooden leg. It is a match made in heaven and the wedding preparations and big celebration bring all of her characters together at one big happy event.
My personal favorite is A Cake for Herbie (2000, Atheneum, Ages 4 to 8, $15.00). Lotties best friend, Herbie enters a poetry contest to win first prize-a big cake. He works feverishly on his verses and produces "From Herbie's Kitchen A to Z." The audience is not receptive and Herbie slinks away. He ends up at the Ship's Inn where he finds a more appreciative audience and even earns a cake. The pictures are charming and the text has lots of word play fun.
Petra is a self-taught artist. Her earliest works were created with crayons and cheap watercolors. She would paint after coming home from a day at work. Petra loves her work and believes that her inspiration comes from the muses-all she really does is record what is coming to her. Her advice to aspiring illustrators is "Have a mind of your own. Don't imitate. Look for inspiration within your life rather than other people's work." She follows this advice and her work is fresh and creative.

ReviewsBorreguita and the Coyote
Retold by Verna Aardema
Illustrated by Petra Mathers
Aardema retells this Mexican story in which a coyote tries to eat the little lamb. In typical folktale pattern, Borrequita successfully tricks coyote 3 times, each trick a bit more elaborate than the preceding one. Her first trick is famous in "fool" stories around the world. She must convince coyote that the reflection of the moon in a pond is really a round of cheese. Greed can be fooled easily. 1998 (orig. 1991), Knopf, Ages 6 to 9, $17.00, $17.99 and $6.99. Reviewer: Jan Lieberman
Dodo Gets Married
Petra Mathers
Dodo passes by Captain Vince's house each day and admires his windmills, but she wonders why the captain never comes out of his house. When at last Dodo and Vince meet, they fall in love. In this shallow book, the personified birds are unbelievable; the plot is not plausible; the attempt at humor falls short. The cartoon-like illustrations are unappealing, and Dodo's German accent is inappropriate. Although the theme of the book is "there is someone for everyone," that theme is not clearly stated. In short, this fourth book in the "Lottie's World" series is not one to be recommended for library collections. 2001, Antheneum Books for Young Readers, Ages 4 to 8, $16.00. Reviewer: Jenny B. (J. B.) Petty
Grandmother Bryant's Pocket
Jacqueline Briggs martin
Pictures by Petra Mathers
Years ago women had pockets that were not sewn into their clothes. These pocket were tired around the waist underneath skirts. Slits in the skirt allowed access to the pocket. These versatile pockets held many treasures. When Sarah Bryant is bothered by nightmares, her folks send her to visit Grandmother Bryant in the hope that the kindly older woman will be able to help. She gives Sarah her pocket to wear with its words "Fear Not" and some sweet smelling herbs, several brass buttons and her scissors. In time with her grandparents loving support Sarah overcomes her frightening nightmares and other fears and heads back home to her family. A delightful period piece and a girl who readers will cheer for, all packaged in a book the size of a pocket. 1996, Houghton, Ages 4 and up, $14.95. Reviewer: Marilyn Courtot
How Nanita Learned to Make Flan
Campbell Geeslin
Illustrations by Petra Mathers
Combining the fantasy of a fairy tale with the tone of a folk tale, this well-illustrated original story is about the shoemaker's daughter who has no shoes. Nanita watches her busy papa make shoes for everyone else, but he never has time to make a pair for her. Nanita is worried because she must have shoes for her First Communion. Finally, Nanita sneaks into the shop while Papa sleeps and makes her own shoes. The shoes feel strange and indeed they are magical. They take Nanita far away to a ranchero where an old woman steals the shoes and forces Nanita to do all the housework. This is when Nanita learns to make flan. When her arm is tired from beating eggs, a friendly parrot tells her that she must give the eggs exactly ten more strokes. When Nanita escapes and returns home, Papa makes her a beautiful pair of shoes. Nanita makes a flan for the fiesta celebrating her First Communion. The flan recipe is included, along with the admonition, "Continue beating until you can't beat any longer. Then give exactly ten more strokes." 1999, Atheneum/Simon and Schuster, Ages 3 to 8, $16.00.

It's My Birthday, Too!
Lynne Jonell
Illustrations by Petra Mathers
Christopher is having a birthday. His mother makes a cake. His father blows up balloons. Trouble is, younger brother Robbie thinks he is a welcome guest. Christopher thinks Robbie will spoil the day and decides he would rather have a puppy than a brother. Pretending to be a puppy, Robbie joins the party. He greets Christopher's friends on all fours. He chews a shoelace because he does not know how to play party games. He howls along to "Happy Birthday." When offered a doggie treat, he jumps onto the table and licks the birthday cake, getting chocolate frosting all over his face. He wags his tail at a guest, who tells Christopher he is lucky to have a puppy. But Chrstopher decides younger siblings are all right after all. "Puppies are nothing but trouble," he tells his friend. 1999, G.P. Putnam's Sons, Ages 3 to 6, $12.99. Reviewer: Julie Steinberg
Kisses from Rosa
Petra Mathers
Rosa's mother has tuberculosis, and must go away to the mountains for treatment. Rosa is sent to live with her aunt Mookie and cousin Birgit in the Black Forest. Mother and daughter keep in touch by letter, so Otto the mailman becomes one of Rosa's favorite people. Life on the farm with Mookie and Birgit is fun and exciting, but Rosa is delighted when the time finally comes to return home where her mother is waiting. Colorful paintings are filled with lovingly detailed memories from the author's childhood. 1995, Apple Soup/Knopf, Ages 4 to 9, $16.00 and $17.99. Reviewer: Dr. Judy Rowen
Lottie's New Beach Towel
Petra Mathers
Lottie is a chicken who receives a beach towel from her aunt as she is getting ready to go on a picnic with her friend. Lottie runs into many problems on her picnic and uses her towel to solve each of them. For example, when the motor on the boat stops working, the beach towel is used as a sail. The story is told in part by detailed pictures of Lottie and her adventures. Though it is an attractive book, it is unlikely to become a favorite. Topics in the book, including the making of lemonade from scratch and a wedding, are beyond the reach of very young children, as is the cursive writing used for a letter from Lottie's aunt. 1998, Atheneum Books for Young Readers, Ages 3 to 8, $15.00. Reviewer: Karen Porter
Mommy Go Away
Lynne Jonell
Illustrated by Petra Mathers
Christopher, a small boy, shrinks his mother down to a very tiny size during his bathtime. His mother gives him orders to clean up his toys and turn off his television. Christopher becomes frustrated with being small and having so many responsibilities, so he decides that he wants mommy to go away. He shrinks her, puts her in a toy boat and sends her off on her own in the ocean of water in his tub. Mommy is scarred, but Christopher promises to take care of her. After a while mommy tells Christopher she wants to be big again, he honors her request and she admits that it's hard to be small. Christopher wanted his mom to understand how he feels being small. The illustrations in the book are very colorful and bright and the moral of the story is good. However, the idea of shrinking mommy, who is the protector, and putting her in the hands of a child who really does not understand what it means to protect is somewhat unsettling. 1997, G. P. Putnam's Sons, a division of The Putnam & Grosset Group, Ages 4 to 6, $12.95. Reviewer: Tamara Hundley
Tell Me a Season
Mary McKenna Siddals
Illustrated by Petra Mathers
This wonderful book is for the very young. Parents and caregivers won't mind reading it over and over. No more than six words to a page, and usually with only two to four, this tiny book introduces colors and seasons, from spring morning to winter night. The illustrations are simple, but beautifully colored and exquisitely drawn. 1997, Clarion, Ages 2 to 5, $12.95. Reviewer: Judy Silverman

For the price, its nice By David on 4/22/2014David would recommend this product to a friendI cant complain about a $3 net. The material is quite soft, so it wont hurt the fish. It does have a hole on the end of the handle for hanging, which my old net didn't have.
Great product By Wilfredo on 1/21/2014Wilfredo would recommend this product to a friendI purchased the smaller net and it is perfect for my nuvo 16. Fits between all of the small spaces to retrieve whatever well your attempting to retrieve.
Wished I would have went with a different net By Chris on 1/17/2014Chris wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI have the 5" net and yes I know this is only a $2.99 product so not much is expected but you can definately tell you have paid $2.99. The shaft is very flimsy and it flexes easily. It has a tiny, non-existant halde on it so you might as well be holding the shaft of it. There are a lot of better quality nets out there for a few dollars more so i wish i would have gotten those to begin with.
It's a net! By Andrei on 12/9/2013Andrei would recommend this product to a friendFantastic! It nets things whenever you want them to get netted. Doesn't have holes in it. Great stuff.
Yeah! By Ethan on 5/16/2012Ethan would recommend this product to a friendThis net works great! They way it streamlines through the water truly helps me catch my fish quickly, without hurting them! I love this net!!!

I am starting my KETO diet next week and I would like to incorporate a few protein drinks that are keto friendly. I am thinking of going with METABOLIC Drive low carb (4G) because that is what I used on the velocity diet.
I know that real food is better, but I actually like the protein powders for a quick meal here and there.
Does any have any suggestions or tips?

Soaring food prices and health concerns are prompting people around the world to change what they eat, according to a 17-nation survey conducted for Oxfam. And Canadians are not exempt from the trend.
Of the 16,421 people surveyed by GlobeScan, 53% said say they are no longer eating the same foods they did two years ago. Nearly four in 10 of those say some of the foods they used to eat are now too expensive, while one-third have changed their diets for health reasons.
"The rising cost of food is pushing more people into hunger, with women and girls representing most of the world's hungry," said Robert Fox, Oxfam Canada's executive director.
The Food and Agriculture Organization's (FAO) food-price index, which measures monthly changes in international prices of a basket of food commodities, has risen 37% in the past year. Cereal prices have shot up 69%, meat prices are up 20% and dairy prices are 10% higher.
While Canada was not included in the GlobeScan survey, a related poll done by EKOS for Oxfam Canada found that two-thirds of Canadians have changed their eating habits in the past two years, half for health reasons.
Just 17 % cited costs as their reason for changing their diets, although that rose to 27% among women aged 34 to 55. But two-thirds of Canadians say they are extremely concerned about rising food prices, the EKOS poll found.
Canadians have not yet felt the full impact of raw food price increases, in part because of the strong Canadian dollar, which has gained seven per cent in value in the past year.
But grocery prices have gone up in recent months, said Douglas Porter, deputy chief economist at BMO Nesbitt Burns. After edging up just one per cent in 2010, groceries in Canada cost 3.7 % more in April than they did a year earlier.
And prices will continue to rise because it takes about six to 12 months for changes in the cost of raw materials to work their way down to the grocery-store level, Mr. Porter warned. "We think we're going to ultimately get about five-to-seven per cent food price inflation later on this year."
The good news is that the rise in the FAO indicator has flattened out in the past month or so, which suggests the increase in food commodity prices may have peaked. "We're not seeing big relief yet, but we're not seeing a further run-up," Mr. Porter said.
On average, Canadians spend less than 10% of their income on food. But that can reach 80% in developing countries, according to Oxfam. When agriculture ministers from G20 countries meet next week in France, "they must act to fix our broken food system," Mr. Fox said.
The GlobeScan poll found that just 61% globally say they always have enough to eat on a daily basis. By contrast, 84% of Canadians say they have enough to eat each day, the EKOS poll found.
Globally, about half say the price of oil and transportation or weather and such catastrophic events as floods and droughts are the most important factors affecting the supply of food. But about one in seven blame government policies or the actions of big companies.
Depending on the country, the margin of error in the GlobeScan poll, conducted in April and May, ranges from 2.1 to 4.4 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. EKOS' online survey of 1,278 Canadians, conducted between May 26 and June 1, has a margin of error of 2.7 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

In the 16 years since the "Bedside Table"/"Living Well" 7-inch scored a direct hit, Los Bros Kadane (Matt and Bubba, where you been?) have never disappointed and always delighted—astounded, even, by which I mean usually. Theirs has always been a singular brand of quiet-loud-LOUDER that, upon first impression, felt a bit chilly to the touch but proved instead scalding; discomfiting, I think, is the word we're looking for. And for years, as Bedhead and later The New Year, it was their thing—their calling card, their brand name, their influence, their legacy. Till now. Till this record. Till this masterpiece. The longtime fan will be caught off-guard; it's so...unexpected. Which, for a moment, stands in the way of the thrill—there's some adjusting to be done here, some relearning of a once-familiar language.
At last, you can hear why Matt and Bubba claim among their heroes Pete Townshend—not because the rock's arena-sized (though "The Door Opens" comes close to qualifying), but because the rather brief record (34:25 running time, too short) is epic in scope, the sound of a band allowing itself space to sprawl as it searches for and strikes upon a brand-new sound that encompasses languid piano, Shaft high-hats, funny (not ha-ha) lyrics and melodies so close to pop they burst at the themes. The Kadanes—once again propped up by a band that includes Peter Schmidt (guitar), Mike Donofrio (bass) and Chris Brokaw (drums)—proffer gems anthemic (closer "The Idea of You"), cathartic ("The Door Opens"), catchy ("X Off Days") and, mostly, beautiful. Deeply, proudly, thoughtfully, unexpectedly beautiful—must be all that damned piano getting in the eyes.

After a bit of a breather on Sunday, politics is coming hot and heavy again, even if is (or maybe because it is) MLK Day. There's a Democratic debate tonight in S. Carolina. Meanwhile, a new poll in New York finds Rudy, even in his home state, losing (as he has everywhere else), though there's at least a chance that here he will at least beat Ron Paul. McCain tops him 36% to 24%, while Hillary slams Obama by a 2-1 margin (he will just have to win California or call it a day).
Obama and Clinton camps still trading charges of vote manipulation in Nevada. Here's the video of Obama hitting back at (Bill) Clinton on TV this morning -- with the Clinton camp claiming, again, that Obama is merely issuing right wing talking points.

If you have a unique formula or process that is the core of your business, you most likely have a trade secret that needs to be kept confidential from other similar businesses. There are no government forms or processes in place for protecting trade secrets; your business is responsible for protecting this information on your own.
However, you are not completely alone in protecting your trade secret. California business law attorneys are experienced in helping businesses develop a system of confidentiality and protection for their trade secrets.
What is a Trade Secret?
Trade secrets are considered to be information that a business keeps confidential as it gives them an advantage over the competition. The formula for Coca-Cola is one of the most famously kept trade secrets and has managed to be kept confidential for over 100 years.
Why not patent the process/formula?
When a formula such as the blend of spices used in Kentucky Fried Chicken's breading recipe is patented, the exact means to create the formula becomes public knowledge in the U.S. Patent Office's patent database. If your process or formula is vital to the operation of your business, you would not want to make this information publicly known.
The process of protecting a trade secret was developed to maintain strict use of the formula/process by the parent company only without fear of near replication or having to bother with offers to buy the patent rights. The biggest danger of not patenting is that there is a chance someone will reverse-engineer your formula or process and then be able to patent it on their own.
Protecting a Trade Secret
The measures a business goes through to protect a trade secret can go from complicated to absurd. California business law attorneys can help your business identify and work on protecting your trade secret without even having to reveal it to the attorneys themselves.
Some of the most common guidelines California business law attorneys give for protecting trade secrets include:
- Mark all documentation about the trade secret with confidentiality warnings.
- Restrict access to the information to only those who have a reason to know it.
- Make all holders of the trade secret (or even part) sign a non-disclosure agreement.
- Keep physical trade secret information in a restricted and secured area.
Hiring California Business Law Attorneys
There are many methods for protecting a trade secret and the help of California business law attorneys can be invaluable with regard to the core processes of your business.
The California business law attorneys at the Adli Law Group P.C. have formed lasting relationships with businesses across Los Angeles County and around the globe. Contact us today for experienced help with protecting your trademarks – 800-817-2949.

There are literally hundreds of thousands of books about marketing that are available on the shelves now days. Some of them target specific industries and others can be applied to just about any industry. Whether it is aimed at a specific niche or not, there are some tips that just about all of them have in common:
- Always keep a database of your customers
- Always keep in touch with your customers
- It costs more to get a new client than it does to keep an existing one
- It's easier to sell to people who already know you and trust you
All of the above are valuable tips and computer technicians can take advantage of these by creating newsletters and reminders to send to your clients.
Other industries make great use of newsletters and reminders. A Dentist will remind you that it is time for your half yearly checkup and mechanics often remind you its time for your cars service. You can create a computer checkup schedule every six months for a "cleanup and optimize" and remind your client of it, or you can take note of when their paid antivirus subscriptions are due to expire and send them a letter two weeks before.
However, the problem with reminders is you need an excuse to remind them of something. Newsletters on the other hand allow you to drum up business just about any time you want. I find mailing newsletters ever 2 to 4 weeks usually works best. Keep in mind that sending the newsletter out is only half the battle as you still need to get them to read it.
The key to making sure that it doesn't end up with the rest of the junk mail is to not make it look like a advertisement. You need to make it useful.
You can offer them tips that an average computer user can perform like giving them step by step instructions of how to install and use Firefox including the benefits of using it (safety, faster, tabbed browsing etc.)
You can also do a little "fear marketing" by educating them about the need for wireless network security or tell them about the latest virus on the prowl. This can often land you a job to secure their network and computer if they feel they are vulnerable. If they feel they get value from your newsletter they will begin looking forward to it.
Ok, so how do I get their details?
It is easy for a onsite computer technician to get their details since you should already their name, phone number and address if you are going onsite. While you are onsite, mention your newsletter in casual conversation ask them if they would like to receive it. It helps the signup rate if you have a sample with you to show them and tell them how it can be useful to them.
If you don't go onsite but have a store, you can have a fishbowl sitting on your counter for them to drop their business card in. To encourage signups, you can run a competition of some sort and pick out a business card at random for the winner.
So, if you haven't got a client database yet, get one. Most client management software and accounting packages have the ability to keep client records. I personally use Outlook because I can send emails to my clients and it has a "Mail Merge" option that allows me to print address labels for those I dont have an email address for.
If you have your clients contact information and don't have it in any sort of usable database, you are missing out on an opportunity to turn it into a potential goldmine.
