Simple things are worth blogging about
3 Dec
Today content marketing importance is higher than ever. Consumers are becoming increasingly bombarded by advertising online, over their airwaves, and in their printed pages- and they are becoming increasingly good at ignoring it. So how is a modern company supposed to sell anything in a market that is sick of sales pitches? (more…)
6 Jan
Google Surfing Team
No one could have seen what was about to come. It was just a typical weekend in December. It was the 2nd weekend of this month, so nothing new there. It just seemed like another Saturday, it really did!!!
My oh my, how it was all about to change and no one, I mean NO ONE seen it coming. Admin didn't see it, the other teams in Trafficera didn't see it, and even my eyes, with the inside view, didn't even see it…
Oh, where do I begin? Maybe with that first sign that we all had, but none of us really put too much thought into it. Yes, it was that FIRST SIGN, that is where I will begin this amazing story….
Early Saturday Morning, it was 3:08am Server Time and the SkyRockets had just won a race. The Google Team would finish 3rd in that same race and it was our 2nd third place finish in a row. The next race up was a 60 clock race. I wasn't online at this time, but apparently we had a pretty good crew on or at least at some point in this small race, they would make their selves visible.
My entry into this story came at Clock 59. I came in and the Google Team had 59 Clocks out of a 60 Clock Race. I quickly went to the clock race score, to see if another team was with us and luckily there wasn't one. The next team down (2nd place team) had 45 clocks. So we had a 14 clock lead and with my 2nd or 3rd click, it was me that found number 60
The exact time we won this race, was at 6:05 am Server Time (still early Saturday Morning). The celebration was short-lived, cause the next race up was the BIG ONE and it would be the race that would take us all weekend to work for.
The BIG NEW RACE came out at 800 Clocks and right away, the focus quickly went to the SUPER CLOCK; where there was a lot of zero's over there. 6 of them to be exact! Yep, the super clock would read: 1,000,000 time credits (exactly just like that).
Here is where the story gets a little tricky and a bit fishy. Not sure what was going on, but once this big race came out, we all started finding clocks. Not just here and there, but quite frequently. There was enough clocks coming out and from different surfers, that I went ahead and decided to put 1 and 1 together and figured this was going to be a Clock Rain!!!
After all, very unusual to see 1 million on the super clock and a 800 clock race on a weekend day. This info and everyone finding clocks so fast, had to meant it was raining, right?
So without little hesitation, I scoot my keyboard close to my chest, clear my throat, and begin to yell at the top of my lungs:
You get the picture, right?
Call it faith?
Call it destiny?
Call it luck?
Or just call it a few choice names or just plain BS, but the score don't lie.
With me scrolling the chat, yelling "RAIN" and the other Google Surfers surfing as fast as their clickers could go, we was building up a nice little lead, as we kept our number 1 Ranking from last race to this BIG Race.
So if you can just picture for a moment now…it is still early Saturday morning. In the other 38,000+ team rooms, you just have a couple of surfers surfing, a brand new race that has just started, and since it is 800 clocks, they are all getting comfy, to what looks like a long day.
While in the Google Room, you have 8 surfers clicking their fingers to the bone and me still yelling "RAINING CLOCKS!!!….RAIN!!!! SURF FAST….FASTER TEAM FASTER!!! WE ARE LEADING TEAM, GO GO GO….ITS RAINING CLOCKS!!!!"
Was I happy? No doubt!!!
What could have been better? Our team was winning, with a nice group of surfers online, and this surprise from Admin, to give us this Weekend Rain. Life was good and what possibly could go wrong now??
So I jumped the gun just a little? It was just a wee little mistake, that could have happen to anyone, right? After being frantic and loud for 1 hour, a few things started to come into focus a bit better. Ok, it wasn't a "few" things, just one little "thing".
It was early Saturday.
It was a Big 800 Clock Race.
And there was really 1 million credits on the super clock.
What wasn't so, was the little thing about the rain. Yep, the thing I had been screaming over and over, turned out to NOT be true. The darn clocks was just as slow as ever.
I will never know why we all found clocks so fast that morning. Those that were surfing with me, thought it had to be true too. Apparently, we just all hit a run of clocks at the same time and since we were all fast surfing, it made the clocks look even faster, than what they really were.
So now I find myself in BIG trouble. Got 1/3 of the team all pumped up for a short 4 hour race in the rain for 20,000 credits each. Now we are facing a 24+ hour race, and our lead at this time was still very modest. Maybe 10 or 20 clock lead.
But where there's a WILL, there's a WAY! And this is the part of the story that I could have never seen in a million zillion years.
As the morning kept creeping along, a few things were beginning to take shape. The Google Team had a few new surfers on the team and they wasn't running away yet. Our core surfers and the ones I count on each day to help us win races and be competitive, wasn't really around. Maybe 1 or 2 here and there, but never staying for very long.
A few key folks were starting to emerge and their clicks and the clocks they were finding, was going up on our side of the scoreboard. Each one of them was doing it pretty fast too.
It didn't take too much longer in the race and we started to see a team pulling away from the others. Was it the SkyRockets? What about New Beginning? Nope and Nope! Actually it was us!!!
The Google Team, without their normal cast of stars, were being led in a very big race, by the new guys on the team. It was the….
This new crew of surfers came in like any other surfers we have had here before. As most of you know, I send out a lot of new invites every week. And we get a lot of new surfers coming in every week. I always hope that each new surfer we get, becomes the next Paul Kinder or someone that will stick around a few months with us.
It's hard to keep up with the other top teams here, so our guidelines do have to be strict. We need surfers who will wake up daily and come online daily, to check on the team and to help out in the clock races as much as possible. Not many make the grade and we end up doing a lot of adding and subtracting here.
Ever so often, we do get lucky and find that diamond in the rough. However, we never find a group of them at one time and I think we have managed to do that this time.
What my eyes have seen over the last 36 hours or so, is a group of very dedicated surfers. These Google Rookies are already showing loyalty, strength, the desire to succeed, and that rare and unique ability to NEVER QUIT; even when the odds are stacked up against you.
This Google Rookie Class is made up of the following people and our teammates:
*EarnForLife – is showing up daily and is willing to stick around and finish the job when needed. Very Important Clocks in the 800 Race.
*Berlison – Wow, what a surfer. No doubt a key in the big 800 race and was finding clocks in the daytime and nighttime too. Made a commitment on Sunday, to stay til the end of the race.
Handy49 – Not happy with the amount of clocks they are finding, but they never quit. Very steady surfer, flexible, and is as good as any of the other Google Rookies.
Szanto425 – Going with a honorable mention here. The newest of the rookie class and just showed up on Saturday, so still a few questions remain. However, if Saturday was any indication to the heart of this surfer, then we got us a good one. Not sure where we would be without her and she surfed all day Saturday. If she can just give us a fourth of her production thru out the weekdays; on a daily basis; then she will have a spot here for a very long time!
That is the super-star side of the rookie class and we might have 1 or 2 more on the team, that join this crew soon. Hopefully we will find more surfers out there, that have the Mad SKILLzzzz; like this group has right now!
Oh BTW….
I guess a few of you are still wondering about that BIG 800 Clock Race and how it came out? Well we lost and finished 5th place…no credits ;((( Sorry, we will get'em next time!
Yeah right Dish….ha ha ha
The real story of the 800 Clock Race goes like this….
1 001 Google Ranked Us 800 50
2 A New Beginning 687 25
3 1st SkyRockets 608 15
4 Friends 489 10
5 01 Traffic Attitude 458 0
*Google won by 113 clocks.
**23 Members on the Team at the end of race and each Google Member got paid: 7,750 Credits Each
The sad part of this story is we could have did so much better. Our biggest lead in the race, was over 200 clocks. Yes! We had a 200+ clock lead in this 800 clock race!!

You know how we use to call the flower shop and give them a price and an address for our flower deliveries? Most of the time, we never knew which flowers would be sent out. We would just want to order something special or surprise a friend with a floral arrangement. Did you know you could Send Flowers using your computer? Its true! I think it works out a lot better; when we send flowers to a loved-one online. At least we can see pictures of different flowers or floral arrangements; which does help us to decide how much to spend. Once we know what an extra few dollars could buy, we generally decide to go with a better gift of flowers.
I think other flower shops who are not online now, should change that. A flower shop can reach more customers, if they use the World Wide Web to show-off their prettiest flowers. It really doesn't cost that much, to get a website online these days. The hosting fees seem to be getting cheaper, since the number of hosting companies are growing. Once you do get a flower website up and running, be sure to include a lot of floral pics. Let the new flower site be useful for someone like me, who doesn't know a lot about flowers. I can only name a few common flowers and I like a lot more, than I can name. So adding tons of pictures would be great, for customers who don't send flowers online that often.
Gourmet Fruit Basket
For most of the flower shops online already, they offer more than just flowers. You can get these nice gift baskets in a variety of ways. A gourmet-style basket or a basket with candy and fruit is another nice gift to surprise someone with. It doesn't always have to be flowers; when you want to surprise that special someone. Just remember to be as creative as you can, if you decide to send flowers online.

For the best marketing results online. Everyone should be focusing on a few good advertising platforms. All of these are FREE to use and for the best results; you must login daily.
1. EasyHits4U
5. Volcano Hits
These 5 manual traffic exchanges are the ones you want to use daily. Each and every morning you wake up. Be sure to spend 1 or 2 hours at each one of these. For most Internet surfers, it shouldn't be too difficult surfing at all 5 of these manual exchanges each day. Or you can surf 3 in the morning time and pick 2 more to surf in the evening hours.
Some traffic exchanges you will want to surf on specific days. For instance, every Saturday, an online surfer can rack up on the cash, if they will choose to surf at Surf Sumo. This is a great place to earn cash money online, from the bonus pages you can claim. You will still be advertising your main interests online; while surfing for free cash money at Surf Sumo.
Mondays is the day we will all set aside time for Click Voyager. They increase their surfing ratios here on every Monday. Plus there is a lot more credits to be had here, if you play hangman, take your spins, and claim all the bonus rewards; while you surf the first day of the week away at ClickVoyager. Perhaps you know of some other manual TE's, which are good for certain days of the week? Please be sure to let me know and I will update any new ones, that you guys let me know about.
After these two first steps, there is really only one step left to do and this is the easiest one of all. To be the best marketer you can be, you should take advantage of times you are not at the computer, to keep advertising your referral pages, affiliate links, personal websites, blogs, and other sites you want more traffic for. You can achieve this promotional feat, by using a few auto surfs regularly. If you need to clean the house or go cook dinner, this is a good time to let your auto surfs run. Maybe its getting that time in the evening, when all of the best TV shows are coming on. This is another peak time, for you to be promoting your websites online. Not only do I show my websites online during these times, but I also let my auto surfs run over night, when I am sleeping. This is the longest time we go, without personally being online. We could start maximizing our efforts during this long gap of downtime, by loading up our auto surfs and letting them run into the night.
Auto surfs are just like the other traffic exchanges, but you don't have to click a number or symbol for the pages to change in rotation. It does it automatically for you; which creates a lot more unique views you will be getting out there. This is really a great way to promote your personal websites and blogs. For the other sites, you can still land real referrals this way. Some surfers online will view some of these auto pages and from time to time, I do get new sign ups from my auto traffic. Here is a short list of auto surf websites; which have helped me the best with my online promotions:
* eBeshucher – German Auto TE
It doesn't take much to advertise like the pros do online. If you have time each day to commit to surfing online. You can build up a nice advertising empire. Just remember to wake up each day and try to promote your websites, blogs, referral pages, and all of those affiliate links you currently have. Promote several things in several different areas and you will get positive results back, from all over the World Wide Web!

If you're currently online doing a search for Rhett and Link: Commercial Kings from the IFC Channel on television, you must be looking for some top, notch advertising. Or perhaps you just have a little extra money in the advertising budget this month, to get Rhett and Link to do one of their awesome homemade commercials for you. I think that's great and you are looking at two guys that know how to get it done! Advertising takes a special skill and both of these guys have the perfect answer to your advertising questions. Before you hire them to do your commercial, feel free to get a boost online while you are in the promotional mood. The reason you found this blog post high in the search engines, is because I use several high ranking blogs, to get this Rhett and Link Blog Post pushed to the top. So I can prove my value online and show you a cheaper and very effective way to market your products, services, websites, referral links, or any affiliate programs you want to jump start online.
I have some affordable online methods, I can hook you up with and get your online promotions going in the right direction. This is the perfect appetizer to order with your Advertising TV Dinner. Go ahead and get Rhett and Link for the main coarse, but start off here first, so you can be pushing your exposure up the ladder online. I will use a series of blogs mainly to get your website on the first page of the top search engines out there, like Yahoo, MSN (Bing), and the big daddy of them all, Google! I use a few other marketing tricks and advertising methods behind the scenes; which will help insure your website comes up high on all the search engines; when Internet Users type in those keywords that relate to your small business website.
For as little as $90, I can get you up and running with a 3 blog promotion.

Then if you like what you see, we can then add 3 blog posts to your order and your small business would be benefiting from 4 professionally written blog posts online.

Rhett & Link Announces Commercial Kings TV Show on the IFC Channel
It has been a nice 5 year run online with YouTube for Rhett and Link. They both say they will continue to do their YouTube Videos and promote their customers here online. I know the TV commercials are going to become real popular in the near future, as the fan base from the television crowds begin to grow. If you would like to watch the Rhett & Link: Commercial Kings on IFC, be sure to check your local listings. Most of you should be able to tune-in at 10 P.M. on Friday Nights and watch their new episodes. Usually IFC will show an encore of the Friday night telecast again, in the early, wee hours of Saturday morning. Then throughout the weekend and several days through the week, fans of Rhett and Link can turn to IFC or the Independent Film Channel and watch replays of the Rhett and Link Commercial Kings program. It comes on a lot and its a good thing it does, so everyone can see how much of a genius these two guys are, when they come together for the same advertising cause.
I'm not exactly sure on the Rhett and Link advertising rates, but a lot of small companies in California are finding enough funds in the ad budget to hire these two funny and creative guys. I been doing online advertising for the same 5 year period, as Link and Rhett has been doing too. They chose to use the YouTube videos; while I went for the blog advertising. I have been able to help a lot of people and business owners online, get real solid results with the few dollars they have invested into my services. I feel my 5 years of experience and affordable adverting prices, allows me to reach more folks online; who need help with their online promotions. Rhet and Link are certainly the Commercial Kings on Youtube or on television now with their new IFC program. However, I belive Blogger Chris is the Blog King online; when it comes to top notch and efffective blog advertising. My blogs do get results and the best part of all, is that my rates are much cheaper than an actual TV commercial or even a YouTube ad online.
I know you came looking for the Commercial Kings and I strongly suggest you use Link and Rhet for the TV ads, but please keep Blogger Chirs: Blog King in your mind, cause he can reach a large audience and get you situatuated nicely in the big search engines online. A lot of marketing tools a person can use on the World Wide Web, but blogs are quickly becomming one of the best advertising tools money can buy these days! You can have the best of both worlds; when you seek the Commercial Kings and Blogger King for all of your advertising needs. We got ya covered!

Dr Lisa and Her New Book About Her
*In Stores and Everywhere in April – ORDER Your Copy Online Today!
Fans of the weekday show The Drs will know who Doctor Lisa Masterson is. She is the only woman on the panel of 4 doctors; who all cover an expertise, in a different medical profession. Doctor Masterson is a Obsterician & Gynecologist. Do you know what that means? How about a quick little game of Doctor Trivia with our own Dr. Lisa as the host, question, and answer to our little hospital Trivial Pursuit Game. Come on! This will be fast and fun…
Health Exam #1 - What part of a woman's body would we expect Dr Masterson to be touching the most?
A. Ears
B. Tongue
C. Stomach
D. Feet
Do you have any guesses? Well just take out your Little Padgett Gadgets, oh wait, this is NOT Live TV! Well let's clarify a little bit more about the job, training, and certification, our little Dr. Lisa has, for her to do the medical tasks in her Doctor's Office. And what her official title on The Drs TV Show she carries with her to the studio each day, where she is capable and professionally trained to answer the variety of TV questions; which get placed in front of her each morning. Dr. Lisa Masterson is a OB/GYN. She gets the first two letters from the "obstetrician" skills, knowledge, and years of training. While the last three letters in her official medical title is from the "gynecologist" skills, knowledge, and even more years of studying, reading, asking questions, taking medical exams, and other highly trained lessons, she has had to endure over the early years of her medical school days.
Well after learning about her official title, I feel like I have a guess, but I am still not completely sure. Let's go to Answers.com and see what they have to say, about each one of these job titles Doctor Masterson carries with her.
А Obstetrician is a physician who has successfully completed specialized education and training in the management of pregnancy, labor, and the puerperium (the time-period directly following childbirth).
A Gynecologist is a physician who has a successfully completed specialized education and training in the health of the female reproductive system, including the diagnosis and treatment of disorders and diseases.
Now do you have an answer for the medical question above? Please reply with your answers: A, B, C, or D. And we will try to get a professional OB/GYN to stop by and answer this tough question. Or perhaps if the one and only Miss Lisa Masterson is free and could spend a quick moment with all of us here, on the DRs TV Blog, we might could get a famous California Doctor to provide us with the correct answers to this OB-GYN question.
The main thing I wanted to give everyone the heads up on, is some of the details about this newest book from The Doctors Television Show in Hollywood, California. Most of you got to see the new book Dr. Travis Stork recently released in early December of 2010. Travis wrote a pure medical book and his Lean Belly Prescription has been a very popular book online. A lot of positive reviews have been made about Dr. Stork's unique and helpful diet and exercise tips. Which he has laid out for men and women to start making a few changes in their daily lifestyles.
The newest book that will be hitting bookstore shelves in April, will not be a pure book on medicine, health, and doctors. This Drs New Book will be about the real life story of Lisa Masterson. Long before she ever became a doctor, she was living in a much different life; than the grand lifestyle and fame, she now commands on the set of Paramount Studios in California.
You can order Doctor Lisa's new book Paper Doll House and lock in the special pre-ordering price. You will be guaranteed the special, low rate price for the debut of this special book. I can't wait to get a chance to read through it and see what the struggles were like, for the very attractive Dr Masterson; which we see each morning now. How much worse, would our mornings be, to wake up each day, without having the lovely Doctor Lisa to smile and brighten up everyone's day? I guess the feeling is mutual for the ladies; who find Doctor Stork from Nashville, Tennessee as a very attractive and well-liked doctor with the female audience members.
More news, info, and details coming soon…
Book Author Lisa Masterson & OB/GYN Doctor in California.
Paper Dollhouse: A Memoir
The more information I get, the more I will publish it for viewing. The Good Doctor did a good job, with covering her footsteps on this true story book; which details all of the facts and stories from her childhood days…
Stay tuned….

Creating A Simple 4 x 1 Fortune
A one time payment of $11 is all you need! You never have to spend another dime, nickel, or penny to work your way up, to the higher Fortune levels. Your first cycle pays you in cash! Your 2nd cycle awards you with an entry into the next level up. At this point in your Fortune Journey, you will have two open cycles and can earn from both. The first cycle that pays you cash, will automatically start over, each and every time you fill it up.
***All Fortune Members Have 3 Ways to Fill Their Matrix Levels***
1. Your Direct Referrals – From your promotional materials (splash page, referral page, or banner)
2. Upline – Person directly above you will randomly be pushing new sign ups into your matrix levels
3. Direct Referrals Finding New Members – The members you bring in directly, will be supplying their new referrals for their matrix levels; while helping to supply random referrals into your matrix levels above them
Obviously you will get paid or earn a entry into a higher matrix level for each cycle you complete. You also earn extra money from a 2nd earning avenue at the Fortune Matrix. Each direct referral of yours, will earn you a matching bonus, for each cycle they complete. The first level cycles will pay you $11 each time. These bonus payments do come in handy and allows everyone to earn more money and earn it even faster. It really gets exciting, when your direct referrals begin to complete higher matrix levels, like the silver level that earns you $40 each time cycled. The gold matrix and platinum matrix will award the upline $100 and $200 payments, for each direct referral's cycle. Keep in mind, this is only the matching bonus payouts, for when your direct affiliates begin to cycle in the Fortune Program. Your direct earnings for completing your own cycles is much, much higher!
Need more information about this Hot Internet Fortune Program? If so, you can go to another blog post, which explains more about this exciting money making opportunity and it is called I Laughed Too…BUT NOT NOW! $$$ for more 4×1 Fortune News and Information.

Are you looking for FREE Traffic? I thought so. No matter what it is you do online, you always need or want traffic online. All Internet Marketers strive to find the most traffic they can to their money making websites. If your just a new webmaster online and created your first website ever; then you will need traffic too. A lot of different people are online for a lot of different reasons. The one thing that stays constant with everyone is traffic. At some point, we find a way to eat, sleep, and breathe traffic. Yes, it's that important sometimes! Or at least we think it is. The good news for everyone, is there is a number of good ways to get traffic online and the best news of all, it's free traffic! How does that sound?
Now it all depends on exactly the type and amount of traffic you will need, for you to feel comfortable about the new visitors you're bringing to your website each day. A good online traffic companyyou can get started with is Logiscape. They have a few different traffic exchanges and each one brings its own little unique aspect to the table. One of the best places to start is with Traffic Syndicate 25 from Logiscape Technologies. This is a free traffic system that has been around for over 10 years and its one of the top traffic exchanges for results. If you have a referral page or an affiliate program you want to get new sign ups for, then TS 25 is a great place to start. After you join TS25, you can take a look at their sister site called Traffic Pods; which is a very effective traffic exchange too. If there are any bloggers out there looking for traffic, you will want to join Trafficera from Logiscape Technologies for a ton of free daily traffic. Traffic Era is one of the top places online today, for just getting pure visitors to your website. This is a manual TE, so the traffic is quality and all bloggers should be using TrafficEra as one of their online promotional tools.
After you got one or more of the logiscape websites under your belt, you will want to join the Traffic Dance. While all of my traffic advice is free on this Diva Special Post, here is a chance to invest a small amount of money. You can join Traffic Dance for zero cost. So please join Traffic Dance for free and then decide if you want to invest a small amount of money for your online traffic. For only $4 a month, the Traffic Dance will award you 2,000 free credits instantly! You also get another 1,000 free credits to your account each month on the 1st. So everyone who chooses to upgrade for the 4 dollar price will get 3,000 credits monthly! And guess what? This isn't even the best part yet! While everyone can claim the bonus page for real cash money, the free members at the Traffic Dance only earn about 1 to 2 cents per bonus page. As an upgraded member ($4 only) you will get bonus pages that are 500% higher than free members and in some cases it's over 1000%! That's because upgraded members will see much larger cash prizes; once they claim their bonus pages. Each page will be at least 5 cents and over 10 cents is very common to win at the Dance TE. The Traffic Dance allows members to cashout at $10 and most people will be paid within 1 or 2 days of requesting it. Spending just 1 or 2 hours a day at the Dance surfing can earn you most, if not all, of your money back! Surfers who spend more time surfing, actually profit at the Traffic Dance! If you get a downline member who upgrades, this will earn you $1.60 per month. That's almost half of your upgrade right there. If you find several Dance Referrals, you can actually turn this traffic machine into a cash making machine! You just got to try the Traffic Dance and please be sure to join a Traffic Dance Team for even more traffic awards. Our team is in need of a few new members, so after you join, be sure to look up the Samba Ramba Team at the Traffic Dance. Just send a join request and the team leader will add you to our Samba Ramba Dance Team. My screen name is Divaneh, so be sure to say "hi" to me in the Dance Chat, once you join my Traffic Dance Team called Samba Ramba.

Did you know that you could create a free website online? You never have to pay for anything and there is never no monthly fees. Normally webmasters have to pay a hosting fee and could never opperate with their own free website hosting plan. There are lots of creative folks each day, that pass up the opportunities to create and build their own websites, just because they would have to pay a monthly hosting fee. This is understandable and not many people want to create any additional debts in their life. However, this is keeping a lot of great ideas from ever materializing online. If there was only a way for someone to create a new website and could have it totally free. How nice of a dream would that be?
Well its not a dream! You could start today building that website you always wanted to have online and it won't cost you anything to start. It won't cost you anything to finish either! There is never any fees or monthly charges for those who use the Ucoz.com service online. This is a perfect website for beginners to create their first website online. You don't have to have any special web designing skills. There are lots of free designs already in place, to help you get started. You just choose the premade design you like best and you can begin the building process from there. Two people could select the same two default designs and still have two very different looking websites. This is because you have a lot of freedom and choices to make, when it comes to designing and perfecting your own website design online. There is documentation and technical support available for new members needing assistance.
The unlimited disk space is another attractive feature you will find at Ucoz.com. This allows users a wide-range of "extras" they can add to their free websites. You won't have to worry about your pictures or widgets taking up too much space. There is enough room for anything and everything you want to add to your brand new website. Users will get to choose their own unique domain names and email addresses and this is all free too!
Advance users will have a lot of freedom to create and add their own personal touches to their website. They will appreciate the fact they have a free backup for their data and the automatic site map creation tool that is always working for them. While new webmasters may not appreciate these special features that are working behind the scenes for them, they will still get all the benefits and luxuries of having them around. It's hard to understand the value of the data backup feature, until you need to restore something back to your website. Also, the automatic site map that gets updated as you add new content to your website is very valuable.
New or experienced webmasters will both have a fun and easy time creating their new websites online. This is the best way to create your first or your 10th website online, since you never have to pay for any costs. Webmasters will not be limited or handcuffed in any way. If you would like to add user generated media to your website, like a video from You Tube, you will be able to do that here for free! I haven't seen another free website maker online; which allows this much freedom to their members. Now everyone can have their own professional-looking websites online. There aren't any more excuses, for you to not have your own little patch of space on the World Wide Web.

We often think about the greatest day for a couple. Most of us naturally think the wedding day is the biggest day for a new couple seeking to get married. However, most people usually say the best day of their life, is when one of their children were born. So if you were comparing the two days; which day do you think is the biggest day for newlyweds? Is the biggest day, the time you were passing out wedding invitations for your wedding day and you think the day you got married is the most important? Or was it during those times when you had friends and family members helping you to create those beautiful baby announcements; which you would soon be sending out to everyone you knew? The groom and bride may have different opinions about which day was more important. We do know the women felt a lot better in the months leading up to her wedding day, as compared to the months leading up to the delivery date of her first child. I do think both days are important and will be the biggest two days of your life. Some couples may view them as equals, but there has to be one day, that was bigger than the other one, right?

The first thing that comes to mind, when I think about girls and Christmas, would have to be Barbie. Most parents can't go wrong with her and Barbie is a classic girls gift. Not only does this popular doll come in a number of varieties, but you have all the different Barbie accessories. After you get the doll, parents can shop for a Barbie Car, the Barbie 3 Story Dream House, and an endless supply of Barbie Fashions to dress her up in. I found one Barbie item selling online this year, that I think most girls would love to have. I can see the Barbie Ultimate Nail Dryer Set for Bath and Beauty being a hot Barbie item this holiday season. Amazon is the best place online to shop for new Barbie accessories and for the absolute lowest prices too.
One more thing I like about the Barbie collection of girls items, is the Barbie make up kit for the younger girls. Your youngest daughter might be trying to wear make-up, like her older sister, but her make up is a little too grown up for her. I think the youngest girls in the household, would feel just like the older girls, if they had the chance to play with the 32 Piece Barbie Make-up Set. Parents don't have to worry about the older daughters and the teen girls in the house either. I have seen some very nice make-up sets selling for the older girls at really low prices online. Two make-up kits caught my eye this year. One was a $40 All-In-One make-up set and another for a little bit cheaper and it was the $30 Eye Shadow Set with 192 colors. Both of these make-up kits would give a lot of options to your teenage daughters and I'm sure Mom might want to borrow this from time to time too.
Playing the popularity game at Christmas time can be hard on parents. We don't always know which gifts are in-style and which ones went out. I can help a few parents to get hip this Christmas, by suggesting one of the hot girl gifts for this year. The FurReal Furry Frenzies is a collection of stuff animals that are really gaining in popularity. These cute and lovable stuff animals are designed by the Hasbro Company. While these stuff animals were available last year, the line has grown to include more animals and at different ages. A lot of these FurReal Furry Friends will be the top gift on the list for many girls this holiday season. Below is a quick TV commercial, showing you two examples of the FurReal Furry stuff animals from Hasbro.
I know a little girls out there want a dog for Christmas. If you just can't get them the real thing, maybe a toy dog is the answer. Or you can always turn to the Play-Doh Company for great gift ideas for girls. They even offer a Play-Doh Puppies Playset and this is a lot cheaper than a real puppy dog. This puppy set from Play Doh is currently priced at under $10, so a perfect little item you can get, while addressing their desires to have a real dog for Christmas this year.
Another item that caught my eye this year was the Dairy Queen Blizzard Maker. Gifts on Christmas morning need to have a lot of bold and bright colors. This DQ Blizzard Machine, which makes real ice cream blizzards caught my eye. I just thought how wonderful it would be to see this toy on Christmas morning. This isn't just for the girls either. I'm sure the little man of the house would like to see this Christmas gift on his side of the Christmas tree too! You can order this product with refill packs. The more refill packs you get, the more you can expect to pay. The first link above will take you to the Blizzard Maker for about 25 bucks. You can go here: DQ Blizzard Maker with 3 Refill Packs and will be looking around $65. So the price range for this colorful Christmas gift is about $25 to $65. Lots of refill packets and dessert mixes you can buy separate and you can find all of these DQ Blizzard Maker Accessories at Amazon.

I'm sure there is at least one gift idea on this page for every little girl out there. Gift # 15 on my list is the Corolle Calin doll and these are usually pretty expensive to buy. Finding one online for $20 is a great deal. Gift #12 is the rainbow for your little daughter's room. What girl would not want to have their very own rainbow? This gift does run on double AA batteries, so if you decide to get the Uncle Milton Rainbow, please don't forget to buy the batteries!

There are a number of places you can shop online for boys and girls clothing. Not many shopping websites are geared toward young people only. Over at Vertbaudet, they believe children come first and they have a great variety of kids and baby clothing items for sale online. They offer a nice selection of fashionable clothes for kids who are 2 to 14 years old. Mom or Dad could easily find several outfits for their kids that fell into this age range. For some reason, it seems it is a lot easier to shop for boys clothing online, than it is for girls. There are just a lot more looks a young lady can show off; than the young gentlemen can do. A nice shirt and a pair of pants and your son has an outfit for him. While girls could do the shirt and pants look too, they would probably need a few accessories here and there to make their outfits more presentable.
I think this is true for baby clothing too. Clothes made for boy babies are usually quiet simple or at least it seems like that to me. While the clothing for a baby girl could include a fancy dress and of course matching shoes to go with her dress too. It's probably the amount of accessories that goes with a girl's clothing, that makes them different from the little boy's clothing items. Pretty much anything a boy can wear, the young girls can wear also. It's the dresses and other outfits that are designed for females only, which separate them from the fewer selections a young boy has to choose from. This is true for teen kids, preteen children, and even the baby clothing choices that parents shop for online or at a department store.
Do you agree with me, that boys have less clothing choices to make than girls? I think a family with 3 young sons would spend less at a clothing store; than a family who was raising 3 daughters. A pair of jeans with a belt which could be worn with any other pair of pants, a t-shirt, and a pair of snickers and the son has his outfit. Girls would need these same clothing items too, but perhaps a different belt for their trousers and a new pair of shoes with each outfit. This already puts the daughter's clothing budget ahead of her little brother's wardrobe and we haven't even started with the girls dresses yet. Either way, parents have to keep clothes on their children's back. If you like to do your kid's shopping online, you can check out Vertbaudet for a fashionable selection of baby clothes and clothing for the older kids too.

Man steals SUV with boy inside, prompting chase
LONE TREE, Colo. — A car chase crisscrossed the Denver area Wednesday morning after a man stole an SUV with a 4-year-old boy inside. By the time it was over, the suspect had carjacked two other vehicles and struck a state trooper.
Ryan Stone, 28, covered about 75 miles before he caused a multi-vehicle crash at an intersection south of Denver. He then ran across a parking lot before appearing to give up, lying face-down in the snow as officers pinned him to the ground.

Establish an Education and Job Training Program for Absent Parents
Texas should provide parents who owe child support with job training and adult basic education.
Texas will not be able to ensure financial support for many children of absent parents without providing these parents with education and/or job training so that they can get a job.
Most child support enforcement strategies target absent parents who are deliberately withholding support they could afford to pay. Even broad strategies like administrative process and self-starting enforcement assume that absent parents could pay child su pport if a support order were established.
Unfortunately, many absent parents cannot provide child support because they are unemployed. This is particularly true in Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) cases. According to a recent study, the most frequent reason for failure to pay child support is unemployment. 1
Even if absent parents are employed, they may not earn sufficient wages to provide meaningful support to their children. This is especially likely when the parent is young and undereducated.
When absent parents routinely fail to pay court-ordered child support, they are in contempt of court regardless of the reason for non-payment. Absent parents found in contempt of court often receive jail sentences because ther e is no alternative punishment for the judge to consider. In these cases, the taxpayers are forced to pay the cost of incarcerating the absent parent on top of the continued costs of supporting the family. Furthermore, while the absent parent is in jail, t hey continue to accrue a past-due support balance which they will have no ability to pay if they do not find employment upon leaving jail.
Several states are currently participating in a federal demonstration project that addresses unemployment among absent parents. The project, known as Parent s Fair Share, provides states with federal funds to provide job training and placement services to unemployed absent parents. Texas did not apply for a Parent s Fair Share grant in 1990, although it was encouraged to do so by members of the Texas congressional delegation. Existing state legislation would have enabled the state to implement the project.
Absent parents need to move quickly into the work force since they accumulate child support debt while in training. For those with a high school diploma or GED, on-the-job training offers the best solution.
The Legislature should appropriate to the new Texas Commission on Commerce and Labor agency (recommended in another part of this report) $1 million for adult basic education and $2 million for on-the-job training for absent parents who owe child support to families in the AFDC program. Additionally, the Legislature should appropriate $200,000 to the agency for administrative costs and $50,000 to th e Office of the Attorney General for administrative costs to fund the initiative for each year of the 1994-95 biennium.
The funds should be appropriated from the Child-Support Retained Collections Account contingent upon enactment of other child support recommendations in this report that generate sufficient revenue to fund the program. The program should make maximum use of any federal funds, including grants, that may be available for adult education and job training programs. The program should be phased in during the next biennium.
Judges should have the option of assigning delinquent, unemployed parents to these programs rather than assigning jail time.
Only a comprehensive approach to the problem of child support would ensure financial security for all Texas children. In addition to improving financial security for children, implementing an education and employment program for absent parents would bring the state into a cooperative relationship with parents who owe child support, instead of the current adversarial relationship.
When absent parents believe that the state respects them and expects them to succeed, they may be more able to contribute to their children s emotional support, as well as providing financial support. Improving the well-being of children of absent parents would benefit the children, their families and the state.
Providing employment and education for absent parents would allow the state to collect child support in more cases, reduce the number of families relying on AFDC and increase the state s recovery of AFDC expenditures. Providing a job training program as an alternative to jail would also save the state the costs of prosecuting absent parents for contempt of court and the costs of incarcerating parents found in contempt.
Beyond these short-term economic benefits, offering absent parents the chance to contribute meaningful child support would present their children with positive role models and would in the long run contribute to these children s self-este em, helping to break the cycle of poverty and dependence for many families.
Fiscal Implications
Development of an employment program for absent parents would require spending by one or more state agencies. The substance of the program would be contingent upon the availability of state funds and federal matching funds. Revenue to fund the program woul d be contingent upon enactment of other recommendations in this report that increase funds to the Child Support Retained Collections Account.
This recommen dation would provide $1 million for adult basic education and $2 million for on-the-job training for absent parents. It also provides $200,000 for administrative costs to the new Texas Commission on Commerce and Labor with an additional $50,000 to the Chil d Support Enforcement (CSE) program for their administrative costs. These costs cover two FTEs for administration of the funds and one FTE in the CSE program to monitor the effect of the program on child support collections and to function as a liaison bet ween the CSE program and the new agency.
The total number of participants in the program would depend on the federal funds the state could draw to the program. With no federal match, the program could serve 500 to 700 clients per year. However, the economic and work force development agency, with the assistance of the Office of State-Federal Relations, should seek federal funding sources for the program.
Although all the savings from an education and job training program cannot be estimated at this time, providing employment to absent parents would result in additional support collections, which would offset AFDC payments.

It's such a honor to be a part of what God is doing in Uganda, well all around the world really. Keep those prayers coming. God is working miracles everyday....everyday. He is making himself known! He is showing His power. He is being glorified...in the good, and in the bad. Yes, this is the same little boy as above!
|Katoyia the day I "found him"...wow.
Julius has VERY advanced tuberculosis of the lungs, stomach and heart. We actually had to transfer and admit him into a government hospital in Kampala to get the proper treatment for him because no hospital or health center in all of Jinja would treat TB that advanced. Now Julius is as lively as ever. No more coughing up blood that's for sure. Praise Jesus for that!
|Julius and his Mom upon discharge from a Kampala hospital!
Rachel. Wow, this girl make my heart happy! Four months ago Rachel was in heart failure. Her liver was pretty much nonfunctional, and she was so malnourished that she couldn't even stand without assistance. She was in an incredible amount of pain 24 hours a day and her heart was constantly beating out of control. Each and every breath was rapid and labored. I thought her belly was going to explode due to all the fluid laying dormant...
She was very quickly rushed to Kampala.... After many tests, scans and x-rays we were told that Rachel had a condition called "Rheumatic Heart Disease". It was explained to us that it was probably caused by some sort of infection that went untreated for too long. I sat across from a doctor at the best hospital in Kampala and and was told that I should take Rachel home because she was "not going to make it". They said she would never be strong enough to come out of heart failure. She was just too sick...
Thank you all so much for all of your prayers and support! God is doing great things here and I am so happy and honored to be able to share these stories with all of you.
Stay tuned for more stories of our kids to come soon! Promise.

There are ironwoods everywhere here. These trees grow like weeds and are considered both pests and special to the point of being revered. They have needle like leaf like green parts that are actually tiny little branches that hang down in clusters. At the end of each minuscule green branch is a glowing golden tip.
I am thinking an array of ironwood branches hung in the narrow lanai strung with lights and hung with ornaments will be totally festive, and not involve the ocean transport of dead trees nor the cutting down of a tree at all. There are already lines of some sort strung there – like clothes line perhaps. That should be adequate to support them.
Pictures later. We aren't there yet!

Q) Why did you want to have PowerX Vaser Liposuction?
I wanted to have PowerX Vaser Liposuction as I have always been around a size 10; however I've never been able to get rid of a stubborn area of fat on my stomach and my love handles. I go the gym regularly and it was getting me down that despite how hard I was working those particular areas just wouldn't shift!
Q) Why did you choose PowerX Vaser Liposuction over Traditional Liposuction?
I chose Vaser as I needed a quick recovery with as little pain as possible. Vaser also offers maximum fat removal in minimum time, which was perfect for me as it meant I could just go in as a day patient. The surgery was performed in Manchester at the MYA clinic so my boyfriend was able to wonder round the shops whilst I was having it done, then came back and picked me up! It was just so easy and convenient for me.

Contact: Western Washington University Accounting student Paul Wright at email@example.com.
BELLINGHAM – Western Washington University senior Paul Wright (Olympia, Accounting) is the 2012 recipient of the American Institute of CPAs Beta Alpha Psi Medal of Inspiration Award, given annually to a student who has experienced extreme hardships in his or her life and who has demonstrated an unusually high level of success despite that adversity.
|Western Washingotn University student Paul Wright of Olympia is the recipient of the American Institute of CPAs Beta Alpha Psi Medal of Inspiration Award, given annually to a student who has experienced extreme hardships in his or her life and who has demonstrated an unusually high level of success despite that adversity.
Wright was born with arthrogryposis, a non-genetic, non-progressive disability that includes stiff joints and missing muscle. Wright faced an uphill battle from a young age and endured 10 surgeries – his first when he was just two days old – at Seattle's Children's Hospital before he turned 16.
"To look back on my childhood is a pretty daunting task," Wright said. "I don't have many memories of doing the 'normal' kid things."
Nevertheless, Wright pushed forward, always with a goal of self-sufficiency and full independence, and a determination to find the joys in life that other youth experience – and after performing in his first production at the age of 10, music and theater became a passion.
"Each summer I got a chance to participate in different musical theater shows. I did not realize at the same time how many life skills I was learning while doing this," he said. "Every performance built my confidence, and my ability to talk in front of large crowds. I learned how to work in teams, how to work with others, and how to show respect to the people around me."
Wright said the biggest challenge he has faced in his life has been the transition away from home and the support of his parents to college and life on his own.
"For some, going to college is just the next step in life. But for me, it was a goal I had worked my entire life to achieve," he said. "The day I moved into my residence hall at Western, I dropped my parents off at the hotel so they could catch the train home. I knew at that moment I had reached my goal. I fought and pushed through 10 surgeries, countless hours of physical and occupational therapy, endless hardships, pain and tears. I had made it. I was living on my own, going to college, and doing what few thought I would do when I was born."
"I remember looking at my mom, both of us with tears in our eyes, and her saying 'You have worked really hard for this, and here you are.' As I drove away I felt such a sense of accomplishment and pride. I was beating the odds, I was overcoming the impossible, and I was achieving my dream."
Wright has since served as a residence hall advisor at Western, appeared in the University's production of "The Pirates of Penzance" last year, become a member of Beta Alpha Psi, the Accounting Honor Society, and is now serving an internship with the Washington State Auditor's Office.
Western Washington University Professor of Accounting Zite Hutton said Wright was the kind of student who makes all those around him feel like they can accomplish their goals.
"Paul is an inspiration to all of us," she said.
Wright said he feels that the things he has been able to achieve might mean more to him than they would to someone without a disability.
"I know that I work harder for everything I have to do and that in return makes me feel even prouder of those accomplishments I have achieved," he said.
Wright is on schedule to graduate in 2014 and plans a career in public accounting. For more information on Wright's Beta Alpha Psi Medal of Inspiration Award, contact Wright at firstname.lastname@example.com.
