Nutritional Correlates Of A Healthy Marriage [EXPERTS]
"If the head and the body are to be well, you must begin by curing the soul." (Plato)
Make no mistake about it – what we eat, drink, and otherwise ingest into our bodies has a significant effect on both our physical and mental health.
The couples we have interviewed around the world who have great marriages know the importance of being healthy in BOTH a physical AND mental sense. Don't shortchange your relationship by thinking otherwise.
If someone told you that the lack of Vitamin C could lead to Scurvy, you would say – "Everybody knows that!"
If someone told you that the lack of proper levels of Folic Acid in pregnant women could lead to Autism in the child that is born, you would agree. The evidence in support of this notion seems pretty overwhelming.
Unless you have been living in a hole for the past 50 years, you know that proper nutrition is essential for good PHYSICAL health. No one disputes this simple notion.
Yet, when you extend the notion of proper nutrition to mental health, some folks look at you like a deer in the headlights of your car! They ask, "Huh?" What could nutrition possibly have to do with good mental health and a great marriage?
Why do so many believe that proper nutrition only applies to good physical health and not to good mental health? This is the question of the day that we will address it in this article.
According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR, Fourth Edition), ". . .4 out of the 10 leading causes of disability in the US and other developed countries are mental disorders. Major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are among the most common mental disorders that currently plague numerous countries and have varying incidence rates." Many scientists believe that the root causes of several of these diseases are nutritionally based.
Studies show that a lack of certain dietary nutrients contributes to the development of mental and associated disorders. For example, essential vitamins such as vitamin C and the B vitamins, certain minerals, and the omega-3 fatty acids, have been found to be deficient in patients suffering from mental disorders, including depression. Unfortunately, these vitamins are often deficient in the general population in America and other developed countries.
A number of years ago, Charley taught a special seminar course entitled, "Nutrition and Mental Health." He admitted a half-dozen, carefully selected graduate students, and they began a journey to discover the truth about the relationship between mental health and proper nutrition.
They collected data for a good part of a semester from a myriad of international sources. They then compared their findings about mental health and nutrition to selected scales of the well-known and much used Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI).
To the astonishment of Charley and his students, the correlation between nutrition and mental health was overwhelming. They took their results and created what they called the "Psycho-Nutrition Inventory" (PNI, 1983).

The Quad Phase Moonflower LED Effect Light from American DJ has the ability to mix a 13 color palette (red, blue, green, purple, yellow, cyan, white, light red, light blue, light green, light purple, light yellow and light cyan) using a 10W quad-color LED module in a single lamp source.
Perfect for clubs and music venues, the Quad Phase casts up to 160 razor-sharp beams at a 65° angle, utilizing revolutionary 1.8° long-life Stepper Motor Technology.
The Quad Phase can be run in Sound Active, Master/Slave (w/3-pin XLR), or DMX-512 modes. When used in Sound Active or Master/Slave modes, the Quad Phase will employ its own built-in programs, producing a myriad of colors effortlessly. You can also customize your own light show via DMX which gives you control over color, rotation, strobe and dimmer functions. A 4-button DMX display rear panel makes it easy.
The Quad Phase can run all night due to its LED lamp source, which runs cool enough to enable the elimination of on/off duty cycles. If you're taking it on the road, you'll appreciate the virtual absence of cool-down time and potential hazard. Finally, Quad Phase's 30,000 hour-rated LED lamp is the gift that just keeps on giving; it draws a mere 27W of electricity at maximum power.

i feel Tron needs its own attraction though... even though the new movie may not necessarily spark new interest in the films... it is the perfect film to make an attraction out of because you would have some free reign... and even though it might be the "well-known" or "easy pick" i feel the light cycle scene would make an amazing dark coaster attraction... and you wouldnt have to worry about making something for little kids... Tron would be outside their age group already...

Tron's Laugh Floor.
Enough said.
there's nothing to get hung about
But here's the question - if you have park guests compete against each other... what do we do with the losers? We can't just let them leave......
...for the entire operating day.
Yeah, I'd much rather have Alien Encounter than Stitch. It's a great ride for teens (like me) and adults, so I don't see what their reasoning for taking it out was. All they needed to do was have extensive warnings outside of the ride so that parents with young children wouldn't complain. The amount of truly hardcore - if you will - rides in Disney is getting lower...and lower...and lower...
there's nothing to get hung about
I would have liked to go on Alien Encounter-but I do also like Stitch. The Tron ride sounds fine, but not something I would go on.

Bacon and Two Onion Cheesecake
6 servings scale / convert
1/2 cup green onions, thinly sliced
6 slices bacon, diced
1 lg. Vidalia onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 container (15 oz.) light Ricotta cheese
1/2 cup half and half
2 tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 eggs
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
6 slices bacon, diced
1 lg. onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
8 oz. light Ricotta cheese
8 oz. non-fat sour cream
1/2 cup 2% milk
3 tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 egg
1 egg white
In 10-inch skillet, cook bacon until crisp; remove to paper towels and drain. Cook onions and garlic in bacon drippings until tender. Discard drippings and drain vegetables in strainer. Combine cheese, half-and-half, flour, salt and pepper; blend until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time; blend until smooth. Reserving 3 tbsp. of bacon for garnish, stir remaining bacon and cooked vegetables into cheese mixture.
Lightly grease sides of an 8 or 9-inch springform pan; pour batter into pan. Bake at 350°F. for 40 minutes or until center is just set. Remove to wire cooling rack. Cool to room temperature. Garnish with reserved bacon; serve with assorted crackers.
I didn't have any green onions on hand so I used parsley for greenery and I also wanted to reduce the fat somewhat. The low-fat Ricotta, sour cream and milk looked a little thin so I increased the flour. The bacon was well done to a crisp and very well drained. I decided to add a crust. There was enough cheese-milk mixture to fill a shallow 9-inch pie crust and two individual ramekins lined with dried bread crumbs. The smaller, shallower dishes still took 40 minutes to cook. These turned out really well despite the low fat substitutes. The cheesecake was rich and creamy tasting like it should be. Next time I think I'm going to double the bacon and add mushrooms. This recipe only serves 6 as a main course but could make 10 appetizers.

I invite you into the way I celebrate Christmas. It may be different to the way you celebrate and think about Christmas, but I ask you to join me as I bring you into what I think can be a joyful way of celebration in the 21st Century. One of the biblical scholars has helped me crystallise what I find difficult about the traditional presentations of Christmas. Greg Jenks, in his book 'Jesus then and Jesus now' has asked the question, "Has the Jesus tradition become a giant fairy-tale for children, and little more than an annual exercise of 'let's pretend' for grown-ups?" (Page 123) That is the question which plagues me every Christmas.

Like all good parables the truth is not to be found in the details, but rather in the Spirit of God that breathes life into the parable. It's a parable about so many things, but most of all it is a parable about peace on earth giving glory to God.

Advent is about waiting and watching: waiting and watching for the coming of Christ. We wait for just the right time to celebrate the birth of Christ in our midst and we watch for Christ's promised return. But how do we wait and where do we watch?
read moreMary, Joseph, Jesus,
The characters remain.
Shepherds and the angels,
Truth travellers' contain
Shaped in ancient story's
Sweet mystical refrain.
When the child is at the center,
When the babe is in the stall,
When the adult nurtures wonder,
When the carols warm us all,
Then the fragments come together
And the vision shines as one
The way you tell the Christmas story, it all sounds so simple. So simple. Oh, don't get me wrong, I really like it. It's just that for so long now people have been telling my story and the way they tell it, it all sounds so simple and easy, so neat and tidy, that I hardly recognize myself in the story. It's not your fault. It all started a long time ago. Luke and that other fellow Matthew, they started it all. They wrote my story down and wouldn't you know it they cleaned it all up. But who can blame them. Nobody likes messy birth stories. And as birth stories go, my baby's birth was a really messy one.
read moreMary, this enigmatic woman has remained in the shadows for centuries. All too often the epithet "virgin" has been applied to the young woman who fell pregnant so long ago. As her Advent appearance approaches, I this re-post this sermon which I preached a couple of years ago in which I asked some questions about Mary. At the time I was reading Jane Schalberg's "The Illegitimacy of Jesus", John Shelby Spong's "Born of a Woman" and "Jesus for the Non Religious" along with John Dominic Crossan and Marcus Borg's "The First Christmas" and this sermon is laced with their scholarship.
read moreWhenever we enter into a conversation about God and prayer, it's helpful to remind ourselves that despite what some religion's would have us believe, the Creator or Initiating Consciousness that created of our universe, the Ground of Being we refer to as God, is in fact, Ultimate Mystery. Thus, the concepts in this article are my thoughts and ideas, not absolute truth.
read moreMatthew and Luke tell completely different (and contradictory) accounts of the birth of Jesus. Neither are meant to be taken literally. They were writing a theological message (sermon) to introduce their gospels. Where the two agree is that the Jesus they were going to describe was a messenger who would turn the world upside down, casting down the rich and powerful in favor of the weak and poor. There is our real Christmas story, a story of liberation and justice.
read moreAs Christmas draws near, we turn to stories to express the inexpressible. Like the Gospel writers we are at a loss to explain the activity of our God in the world and so we too resort to story telling. Families gather and the reliable old stories are told. And each year new stories are added to our treasure troves as we seek to express the inexpressible and touch the hem of our God who is love. And what better way to touch and be touched by God than to tell stories of God's love in the world. We all have treasure troves of stories of Christ taking on flesh and dwelling among us. My story took place when I was a young woman determined that my first Christmas living out in the world would be the type of Christmas that dreams are made of.
read moreTaste and see how gracious the Christ is,
Taste and see the wonder of life;
Take the bread, the body of Jesus,
Break the bread, the flesh of the world;
Taste and see the wonder of life.

Spiderman 2
The first Spiderman movie introduced Tobey McGuire as a believable Spiderman and retold the heroes' origin story in fine style. The second movie is where the franchise really shined. It has more action, a more interesting story, and an even better villain. What could be better?

Whitman Also Points The Finger At Deloitte
In an interview with CNBC, Whitman also pointed the finger at accounting giant Deloitte, Autonomy's accounting firm that has "categorically" denied it had any knowledge of accounting improprieties at Autonomy. "Well obviously with 20/20 hindsight we are disappointed by this news," she said. "What I will tell you is our due diligence was thorough. We relied on audited financials by Deloitte, not exactly Brand X accounting firm, and that is what you do when you are on a board; you rely on the recommendations of management and the financials audited by a legitimate financial accounting firm."

Our View: Ridiculous indeed
Wednesday, September 26, 2007
As the assortment of fireworks shot into the Friday night sky during the pregame, halftime and closing activities of the Moffat County High School homecoming game, the responses could easily be heard over the thundering booms.
Only to be immediately followed by "awwwwwe."
Which was followed by someone saying, "You're going to need sun screen," referring to the bright lights illuminating the sky.
Simply put, it was a fireworks show to rival and surpass most cities' Fourth of July shows.
And it was at a high school football game.
The show also elicited a different response from a newcomer - "This is ridiculous."
Ridiculous indeed.
And it shouldn't be any other way.
As the Editorial Board members reflected upon the homecoming week that was, we saw many of the traits that make living in a small town so enjoyable, including setting off fireworks that could be seen and heard across town as part of a high school football game.
Equally impressive was seeing the plethora of people supporting the homecoming parade, and the high school's science Olympics is a great part of the homecoming voyage, even if many of the cardboard box boats were unable to complete their voyages across the Loudy-Simpson Park pond, as was the goal.
The Editorial Board also applauds the effort of the high school marching band. It is truly great to see you back on the field again.
And while all of these traits were impressive to see, what was not seen was just as evident.
Although the parade was well attended, only the freshman class constructed a float for it.
The community came out in force to see the parade and the football game, but it would have also been nice to see more businesses get involved with the homecoming spirit by putting up Bulldog banners or having their windows painted in blue and white (the Daily Press being one company who needs to do so in the future).
And the science Olympics are such a great success, the Editorial Board couldn't help but wonder if there are ways to get more spectator-type educational opportunities involved with the homecoming week so the spectrum of the whole school can be on display?
Why didn't more of us get into the spirit of the week? It's likely a reason that many of us feel day in and day out - a lack of time.
It used to be that living in a small town meant you could take time and be more involved in community events.
It begs the question, are we outgrowing the traits that make living in a small town so great?
The Editorial Board members hope not, and despite how much we grow, we encourage you take time to get involved in your community, to take time to know your neighbors, and to take time to enjoy the small things in life.
But more so than anything, take time to do those "ridiculous" things that make Craig so great.

redneckgirl 7 years, 4 months ago
I agree that the businesses around town should show more support. I did happen to be at that game and was shocked at the disrespect of the youth attending. The response from the high school students sitting in the middle section when Mr. Tague announced that Dr. John Ilko had put on the firework show was filled with boo's. All the adults attending that game applauded, the student booed. I wouldn't blame Dr. Ilko if he never supported our school or football program ever again. What kind of thanks was that from a bunch of disrespectful, foul mouthed, barely clothed teenagers?
Half the crowd that was sitting behind the teenagers got up and left the game before the 1st quarter was even over with because the "kids" would not sit down. I understand its fun to stand and yell for your team (or boo at the fireworks) but why not sit in the back rows? Duh! I couldn't even begin to count how many little teenage girls had either their panties showing out the back of their shorts or their other parts hanging out. The foul language coming from the whole teenage crowd was even more ridiculous. The gentlemen next to me got up and took his five year old home because it was so bad.
Whoever designed those stands was pretty dumb as well. If you are on the bottom 6 rows, you can't see because the track itself is 2 feet above the bottom bleacher. Then you put all the kids walking back and forth in front of you and all the rude people standing at the fence to watch and it makes for the worst football game you could ever attend. I understand the need for bathroom visits and concession stands but why not put all that behind the stands so that people walk to the center and up to get to those things. I wonder if this designer had ever been to a real football field or any type of sporting event place, that's how they all are built so that people are not walking in front of you. I have two football players in my family so I will have to endure the crappy stands and the jerk kids. My oldest is in 8th grade yet no media has yet to mention their games or how well they are doing this season.

Alright, just like so many others, I'm having issues. My PC can run the game, I ran the test prior to buying it. However, when I play, I have terrible performance because it refuses to use my better graphics hardware. Starting up the game, the only selectable graphics card the integrated intel HD graphics. I run the game, and it's awful. I'm on a laptop, and the good graphics only kick in when I'm plugged into a power source. I unplugged just to double check, and got the exact same performance. I'm positive I'm running this game on integrated graphics. Anyone know how I can force it to use my superior card?
Skyrim does not detect my video card?
You could try turning off your integrated card (control panel, (view by icons) device manager -> Display Adapters -> right click disable the integrated one
Note, I have no idea if this will work, it's just a theory, I have no experience with more than one GPU or an integrated one. But this might force it since the other one will be disabled. I do not, however, know if your laptop requires that card to operate or something. If It did, I'd imagine there'd be an error, but like I said, I do not know.
What kind of laptop is it? Mine does the same thing using Nvidia optimus. If it is an Nvidia card, you should be able to open up your Nvidia control panel, go to "manage 3d settings", click the "program settings" tab and then hit "add" (assuming the game is not in the drop down list). Then you just need to navigate to wherever you installed the game and select "TESV.exe" (I think that's what it was", and once you've done that you can set it to use the dedicated GPU.
EDIT: Oh, you might want to create a shortcut to the file afterwards, as I'm not too sure on whether it only works when launching from that .exe or if launching from the launcher (where you edit data files etc) will work as well.

First off, let me introduce us. Im Lauren; Im 23, and a huge Harry Potter fan! This was my 2nd trip to Universal in Florida and I have been to the Universal in Hollywood as well. Then there is Bryan, my wonderful boyfriend of 5 years who is a major X-Men and Spiderman fan. We have no children, only our very sweet and precious cat who is basically my child. We recently got back from a trip in May and had so much fun we had to go again for my birthday! I want to say we got back the 20th and had this whole trip booked by mid-June! We flew in October 9th and stayed through the 14th. No way were we going to make that drive! We attended our first ever HHN Thursday and Friday, 10/11 & 10/12. We were so glad we planned it on those dates since we avoided hell week and because Bryan is a HUGE Silent Hill fanatic! I however am a big wimp and was so scared that I would be the one that wets her pants and gets her picture taken, but I survived! We stayed onsite at RPR so we could get the express pass and early entry to WWoHP, but rather than just book a room and purchase our annual passes seperately we were talked into booking a package. It was nice since we got the free Three Broomsticks breakfast but when we noticed the room rates went down we weren't able to get it adjusted without canceling everything and we would have lost the king bed room. Oh well, lesson learned for next time! Anyway, this was my first time onsite and Bryans second. Back in May, we did a split between IOA & Disney and stayed offsite. It was okay and very cost effective, but the shuttle to Disney and Universal was so long. Especially since we were the 6th and final stop after a very exhausting day, so we decided to nix Disney this trip and do both Universal and IOA parks! As much as we enjoyed Disney, we both felt it was just too big and more suited for families with children. We have officially been turned to the darkside! That being said, we are already starting to plan another trip to Universal hopefully in May and again in October! Might as well get as much use out of those annual passes that we can, right?! Day 1, part 1 to be up soon! Thanks for reading! I forgot to reserve a chapters spot for easier reading, I hope this is okay! Chapters! Day 1, 10/9/12-Tuesday Part 1, Departure & Arrival Part 2, Check in & IOA Part 3, Proposal at Hogwarts Part 4, Margaritaville and The Perfect Ending for a Perfect Day Day 2, 10/10/12- Wednesday Part 1, First Early Entry Day Part 2, Marvel & More Harry!

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds
"X-Men" hunk Reynolds married the "Avengers" beauty under a shroud of secrecy at the Clayoquot Wilderness Retreat in Tofino, British Columbia, in 2008. To preserve privacy, the couple rented out the entire resort and had phone lines turned off during the wedding weekend. "It was really quite secretive, and I felt like I was doing a drug deal — without all the fun," Johansson later said. No fun indeed: The two split in 2010.

Cwtchy Cable Armwarmers / Wristwarmers
An incredibly simple and easy knit for warm cosy (cwtchy) cable armwarmers with an option for shorter length wrist warmers (and an optional thumb slit). This is an ideal first cable pattern which knits up quickly in approx 6 hrs.
The pattern is one-size but can be easily adjusted based on individual arm size and gauge.
The armwarmers were inspired by some I saw in The White Company. There is more information about the process from inspiration to this design on my blog.
NOTE: if you downloaded the pattern before 29/11/11, there was an omission on the left thumb-hole. After binding off the 6 sts, it should read "K6" which will take you to the cable section - this has now been updated
17/02/2014 - the link has been changed to a PDF which is styled the same as my more recent patterns - there are no changes to the pattern itself, only the presentation.

Hikaru Ohno is the lead female of the ero manga series Domin-8 Me (Take On Me). She's a tall and perpetually calm woman. She starts an affair with her fellow classmate, Tsuda, that blossoms into a romance.
Hikaru Ohno is an enigmatic young woman who hides a secret sexual side. She has one older sister Kei, and she's had a childhood rivalry with her neighbor Ryoko Enatsu since they were kids. Ryoko was always challenging her, and Hikaru never liked backing down.
One day in school, Tomonori Tsuda, a short boy she already had a crush on accidentally got a scandalous picture up her skirt. She had planned to come onto him eventually, and agreed to have sex with him when he revealed the photo he had. The pair had wild sex across the school where they could, but after a month of frequent sex his conscience for the better of him. She then admitted to him that he never really forced her into anything and was going to make a move on him anyways.
Hikaru Ohno is a main character of the manga series Take On Me (known as Domin-8 Me in U.S.) that was created by Sessyu Takemura. It originally began publication by Core Magazine's Megastore Comics in 2004.
Her first appearance was in Take On Me Volume 1 CH. 1 "Knockin' On Heavens Door".
" I want to do it...with you. I want to do it...because of you. I don't care about being kissed from above. I don't care about being fucked from behind. Kissing or Fucking. Doggy style, missionary, sixty-nine, or when I blow you,...even masturbating. I want to fuck 'you'. "
Hikaru Ohno "Take On Me" Vol. 1 Ch. 2
Hikaru is a high school girl who is 6'1" tall. Her personality seems cool and enigmatic. She has a curvacious body, she wears glasses, and has dark hair that she bleaches at the top. Her personality makes her very hard to read and this makes her even harder to approach for most. Her kuudere demeanor does hide a sexually adventurous nature. She also can't stand backing down from a challenge. By the second volume, Hikaru's design was slightly changed to give her longer hair. in the back.
She and her boyfriend Tomonori engaged in a torrid sexual relationship that started between just the two of them, but it eventually branched out to include her sister and her childhood friend/rival with her boyfriend. Each fetish was usually on Hikaru's request, but she always wanted Tomonori to be there with her. As she put it, they belonged to each other.
As her relationship grew, Hikaru became terrified that her feelings for Tomonori was based just on her bodies desire for him. She started to distance herself from him to test herself, but in the middle of class one day he finally and loudly confessed his love for her. She was over come, and he told her that they their bodies lusted for each other because they were in love.
Hikaru could tell that Tomonori was feeling self conscious about the differences in their height when he failed to keep his erection while having sex in the gym supply room. Later after school, he grabbed him on his way home and took him to her house. They shaved their first kiss after all the sex, and she told him to get naked. Hikaru told Tomonori that she didn't care about how they had sex or the differences in their height. She wanted sex with him because she cared about him, and she asked if he felt the same. He did, and they both had passionate sex several times till they were both exhausted. She still teased that even though he was short his dick had gotten larger.
Hikaru had placed a hidden camera in her room and was secretly filming her trysts with Tomonori in her room. She asked Kei to teacher her to use a laptop, but didn't tell her it was so she could record her sex life. She loved to watch the replays of them together and masturbate. Hikaru and Tomonori experimented with public sex in the park while it was raining, and she had Tomonori use anal beads on himself to positive results. Kei was asked her is she was out having sex when Hikaru got home, but she said is wasn't a big deal since everyone does it.
The next day while Hikaru was out for the day, she felt something was wrong. She rushed home to find Kei trying to use an unconscious Tomonori to lose her virginity. He woke up after Hikaru kicked Kei into the tub. Kei was shocked the Hikaru agreed to let her use Tomonori if she had asked. Hikaru admitted that she had wanted to try a three way. Tomonori asked if she was really okay with it, and she told him it was alright as long as he knew they belong to each other. Hikaru helped Kei with insertion, then sat on her boyfriend's face as they had sex.
She invited Tomonori over while her parents were out and had exhaustive three ways. Hikaru didn't tell Tomonori that she was using this as a chance for exercise due to the weight gain she noticed. She also surprised him that she had been using a dildo on herself to try anal sex with him. She underestimated how good anal would feel, and Hikaru passed out on top of Tomonori after she orgasmed. She was embarrassed when she woke up after dawn, but he told her that her weight wasn't important since she was tall and beautiful to him. Touched by his compliment, they went at it again.
As Tomonori was leaving, Hikaru aran into her neighbor Ryoko Enatsu and her boyfriend, Koichi Tatsukawa, leaving her place. When Ryoko mocked Tomonori, Hikaru confidently told her that he was the best there was in bed. Ryoko challenged Hikaru to a bet on who had the better man, and the loser had to be the winner's slave. Hikaru agreed, but at school discovered that Ryoko had made it a competition of baseball. After Ryoko cheated, Hikaru took Tomonori's place in the game and won. Hikaru took them both to the sports supply room. She tied and blindfolded them both, and inserted a baseball bat into Ryoko's vagina, handle first, and vibrator in her ass. It turned into group sex with Koichi doing Ryoko in the ass, and Tomonori in her mouth with Hikaru fingering his butt. Later, the two girls paired with their own boyfriends.
The craving for double penetration had peaked Hikaru's curiosity, but told Tomonori it had to be real when he suggested Kei with a strap on. She called Koichi to join them, but he showed up with an angry Ryoko. Hikaru stripped and bound Ryoko in another room, and went back to the boys. She started by giving them a blow job, and found out that this was Koichi's first. While Koichi fucked her, she told Tomonori to have her ass. Ryoko eventually got loose, and Kei showed up after her date flaked out on her. It turned into a five person orgy with Hikaru screwing Ryoko's butt with a strap on, and Tomonori from the front. After all the partner swapping, Hikaru and Tomonori fell asleep in each others arms.

Six best practices to incorporate into your e-mail newsletter strategy.
It's been about 15 years since I developed my first e-mail newsletter. It's not rocket science. But I still come across clients that are missing the basics.
Here are some tips to get you started -- or to help you quickly review your existing e-mail newsletter and confirm that you're still in line with best practices to make it successful.
It's All About the Reader, Not You
Remember: When you're developing an e-mail newsletter, make it relevant and interesting to your audience. This sounds so simple, but I still see clients whose e-mail newsletters are "all about us" -- we've hired a new VP of sales, we landed a new client, etc. That's nice, but what's in it for the reader?
Many times this type of information, if included at all, should be relegated to a brief sidebar -- it's not the meat of your e-mail newsletter. If there's more to the story -- for instance, you've added new functionality that may benefit other clients to land the new customer -- then that might warrant a full-blown article.
Think About the Competition
I'm not talking about your company's competition. I'm talking about the competition for eyeballs and time that exists in the inbox.
Many companies develop their e-mail newsletter content in a vacuum. Put it in context. Why would someone read your e-mail first? Why would they read it at all? If you can address these questions and come up with honest reasons justifying the readers' interest in your e-mail, you're on the right track.
Include a Table of Contents
This seems simple, but it's still surprising how many e-mail newsletters lack this fundamental feature. Studies show that most people spend just a few seconds deciding whether to read an e-mail. By incorporating a table of contents at the top, the reader can easily see everything your e-mail newsletter has to offer and decide whether to read it. If the first story doesn't engage them, the last one might.
Be sure your table of contents is as descriptive as possible. Actual article headlines, which change from issue to issue, will engage better than section titles that are the same each time you send. More descriptive, benefit-oriented headlines work better than general ones with nothing to offer the reader.
Headlines Aren't Enough
One of my clients sends an e-mail newsletter to drive traffic back to an online publication. The content is an image of the magazine cover with a list of headlines. While some publications have headlines that are interesting and descriptive enough to draw people in, most don't.
The shortcut here is to include the headline and the first sentence or two from the article. This is better than a headline alone.
A better strategy is to write some original copy about each article that entices the reader to click-through and read more. "Teaser" copy works very well here. Don't give away the key points of the article, but let people know what they'll learn if they read it.
For instance, if the article lists top industry trends for the coming season, let them know that if they read it they will be rewarded with that. It's a quid pro quo -- you need to let the reader know what they will receive if they give you the time it takes to click-through and read the article.
Incorporate Video
This is somewhat new. A recent Forrester Research report stated that video in e-mail is increasing CTRs (define) significantly -- double or triple what the same e-mail received without video. There are ways to benefit from this trend without costly technology. Check out my recent column on video in e-mail for tips.
Have a Goal
Back in the mid-1990s, we developed e-mail newsletters just to do it. E-mail was a new frontier and we needed to get in and play to figure out how to leverage it best.
Fast forward to 2009. E-mail is a proven effective marketing channel. But many companies still neglect to assign bottom line, quantitative goals to their e-mail marketing efforts. Many e-mail newsletters are primarily used for branding and to drive awareness, but that doesn't mean you can't develop quantitative goals.
Open and click-throughs are good, but the closer you can tie your goals to the business mission, the better. Think in terms of lead generation, sales, and other conversion metrics. Even things like how much time people coming from e-mail newsletters spend on the site versus visitors from other sources can be useful and justify your efforts.
Until next time,

Atmospheric rivers form over tropical waters and flow poleward toward the west coasts of many continents (one hit England in November 2009). They are prominent along the U.S. Pacific Coast but can occasionally arise in unusual places, such as the Gulf of Mexico (one flooded Nashville in May 2010). Atmospheric rivers could become larger in the future as the climate warms.

Spam, Skippy Give Boost To Hormel's 4Q Results
Hormel Foods said Tuesday that its fiscal fourth-quarter net income rose 19 percent, benefiting from strong export sales of its Spam canned ham and Skippy peanut butter. Its performance beat analysts' expectations.

Caterpillar 3Q Earnings Tumble 44 Percent
Caterpillar's mining business is down in a hole. Its third-quarter earnings plunged 44 percent and it cut its forecast, again. It said revenue will be almost $11 billion lower than last year, a drop of 17 percent.
Delta Air Lines Posts Profit Of $1.37 Billion
Delta Air Lines made more than a billion dollars in the third quarter as more passengers paid a little bit extra to fly. Even its new oil refinery turned a small profit.

UnitedHealth's 3Q Profit Edged Up 1 Percent
UnitedHealth Group Inc.'s third-quarter earnings inched up 1 percent in a rare performance that failed to trump Wall Street expectations. The nation's largest health insurer also gave a less-than-reassuring vibe to investors by narrowing its 2013 forecast instead of raising it.
