"Divorce is not pleasant," she explained over a plate of shrimp scampi at Jeffrey's in Miami Beach. "From that time to the present time there has been a healing process. Art and I get along fine now, but there was a strain." She claimed she filed the affidavit alleging nonsupport because she was angry that Teele wouldn't buy their son a new car when he turned sixteen. "I may have become upset, and it was selfish of me," she said.
"Art has never ever denied his son anything," she declared. "Art has never neglected his son in any way. Anything his son needed, he provided. Anything I needed, he provided." The $200,000 he owes her, she stressed, is from their divorce settlement, and includes Teele's commitment to pay for his son's college education and her ownership interest in Teele's parents' house in Tallahassee. None of it, she maintained, is owed her immediately.
In addition to fending off calls from reporters, Celestra Teele has been contacted by representatives of Alex Penelas's campaign, which is one of the reasons she decided to break her silence. "Wouldn't you be annoyed by that?" she complained. "Politicians should not interfere with the family. They are trying to open up old wounds that have healed, and that is not right."
She said she paid her own way to Miami and was not receiving money from Teele for speaking out. She also taped a commercial on her ex-husband's behalf, in case any of his rivals decide to use the divorce filings against him.
The fundamental issue, of course, is whether Teele's past financial problems should prevent him from being considered by voters on September 3. Teele contends that business, like life, is a series of successes and failures, and he has learned from each. It is better, he says, to have the next mayor of Dade County be someone who has lived in the real world of business and who has experienced both its successes and its failures. And he blasts members of Alex Penelas's campaign staff, who have been rummaging through his financial records and attacking him at every turn.
"I've owned newspapers and radio stations," he says. "I've created jobs and provided good wages for the people who worked for me. I know what it's like to worry about making my payroll. And the people who criticize me are really the slime buckets of Dade County, many of whom have never made an honest dollar, most of whom have never paid a person a decent wage or gainfully employed people. They've been lawyers, they've been parasites, they've been leeches."
Teele, though, has had his own experiences as a parasitic lawyer over the past few years. When he was elected to the commission, he was a partner in the law firm Adorno & Zeder, and his principal client was the health-maintenance organization CAC-Ramsay. Shortly after his election, Teele decided he would have to resign from the law firm because so many of Adorno & Zeder's clients did business with the county. He felt he would have to recuse himself from too many issues.
He did take one client with him when he started his own law practice, and that was CAC-Ramsay, one of several HMO providers covering county employees and under a contract worth tens of millions of dollars. Teele contends his role with CAC-Ramsay was to keep track of federal health-care regulations and to work with the company president on possible mergers with larger companies. Instead of a salary, Teele was awarded company stock options.
In 1991 he cashed in his first round of options for a profit of more than $92,000. (He was allowed to buy 5000 shares of stock from the company at $12.50 per share, then sold them for the market price of $31 per share.) In 1994, after CAC-Ramsay was acquired by health-care giant United Healthcare Corp. and the company's stock soared, Teele sold off another 5000 shares. His profit this time: $258,000.
During an interview two weeks ago, Teele claimed that he has never voted on a matter relating to CAC-Ramsay. But records show that on October 5, 1993, he did vote to extend the county's contract with CAC-Ramsay. When confronted with the disparity, Teele said he did not recall the vote. After reviewing the records, he noted that the action was part of the commission's "consent agenda" in which dozens of resolutions are taken up simultaneously; CAC-Ramsay's involvement escaped his notice. Teele, who no longer represents the company, also correctly pointed out that the vote was 9-0; his participation did not affect the outcome.
Another of Teele's major law clients is a French company called Air and Water Technologies. With Teele's help, a subsidiary, PSG, won the right to privatize the water and sewer departments in Opa-locka. Teele's involvement has prompted criticism from those who say the deal takes money away from county government, which used to provide those services for Opa-locka for a fee. "My loyalty is to the people, not the government," he responds. "And that deal makes the best sense for the people of Opa-locka.

About Houston HospiceThe First Hospice in HoustonHouston Hospice was founded in 1980 to establish a source of humane, caring responses for patients and their families. Its first medical director was Dr. Richard Lamerton, a revered authority on care of the terminally ill who had been the first intern trained by the famous Dame Cicely Saunders at St. Christopher's Hospice in London. In 1983, Houston Hospice became a member organization of the Texas Medical Center. At that time, it was the only hospice in the country so affiliated.
In 1989, The Texas Medical Center acknowledged the importance of Houston Hospice in the health care spectrum, and the unique aspects of its care by donating to the hospice the former estate of Mayor Oscar Fitzallen Holcombe; a picturesque English Tudor-style home built in 1925 and its gardens, covering a 2.5 acre site just east of M.D. Anderson Hospital. Plans began for an adjoining patient care center, and in 1996, thanks to overwhelming community support, Houston Hospice opened the Margaret Cullen Marshall Patient Care Center adjacent to the Holcombe House. The style of the three-story structure precisely matches the 1925 English Tudor architecture of the former mayor's home resulting in a beautiful, homey atmosphere. The Houston Garden Club continues to maintain the lush historical gardens for patients and families to enjoy. Also in 1996, Houston Hospice developed the Butterfly Program to provide for the distinct hospice needs of infants and youth aged 18 and younger. It is Houston's first pediatric hospice program.
Houston Hospice is Different Because it is a Nonprofit OrganizationHouston Hospice remains a nonprofit 501 (c) 3 organization that is community-based and community-supported. Our mission is not to make a profit. Rather, our only mission is to provide uncompromising, compassionate and respectful physical, social and spiritual support to individuals facing life-limiting illness, as well as their loved ones and caregivers, irrespective of their ethnicity, beliefs or ability to pay.
We believe no one should live in pain or in fear of being alone. We believe everyone deserves to be treated as a unique individual, not just a patient. We are advocates for children's rights to grieve and to have their lives celebrated as full and complete. Patients and their families may be specific about their wishes. Our unique brand of hospice care is provided in-home and in residential facilities. Inpatient and respite care is provided through the Margaret Cullen Marshall Hospice Care Center located in the Texas Medical Center. Houston Hospice utilizes a team-oriented approach to medical care, pain management, and emotional and spiritual support tailored to each patient's unique situation. We offer educated counsel and compassionate support and bereavement counseling to loved ones and family members.
We're There for You - Wherever You Need Us to Be
Over the years, Houston Hospice's coverage area has grown to ten counties served by four strategically located offices. Interdisciplinary care teams (made up of doctors, nurses, hospice aides, social workers, chaplains, bereavement counselors, and trained volunteers) travel to wherever patients need them — be it an apartment, a home, an assisted living facility, or a skilled nursing home. The team supports the loving care of families so that family members and friends have more energy and quality time to give to their loved one. The care team helps manage pain and symptoms, monitor the patient's condition, maintain hygiene, anticipate needs, assist with medical/insurance forms or processes, listen with compassion and openness, and give caregivers rest. Houston Hospice is an in-network provider for most insurance companies and is licensed by Medicare and Medicaid. Houston Hospice is a member of the Texas Medical Center, Texas Nonprofit Hospice Alliance and the Texas New Mexico Hospice Organization. Houston Hospice is accredited with the National Institute for Jewish Hospice and by Community Health Accreditation Program, Inc (CHAP). CHAP is an independent, non-profit accrediting body that was established in 1965. CHAP accreditation publicly certifies that an organization has voluntarily met the highest standards of excellence for home and/or community-based health care.
Community Outreach and the Houston Hospice Speakers BureauAs part of its nonprofit community outreach, Houston Hospice offers free educational talks through its Speakers Bureau. Speakers are available to present a wide variety of topics. Popular topics include preserving memories, tips on how to talk to your doctor, hospice 101, improving listening skills, and hospice and advance directive myths. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com to schedule a speaker for your church, college or civic group.

So sit back relax and earn how you can make yourself infinitely more sexy on Facebook!
This is the second part of my list building series where I look at further techniques for list building, which I currently use and have had success with in the past.
Forum Marketing
I first stumbled on forum marketing several years ago and it's a method which I still use with great success today. Essentially you participate in forums within your niche offering value to other people by answering their questions and building yourself a reputation a a person who can be trusted and who also is an authority.
This method still is an old favourite of mine, indeed it is where I got my first big break in Internet Marketing and not only made me a lot of sales online, but also got me some freelancing jobs which gave me the opportunity to work with some big marketers,build some invaluable relationships that have paid dividends over the past few years.
So how does this work in a nutshell, well first you provide value and then you use what is called a signature link, which appears whenever you post a reply to a thread on the forum. When someone clicks on that link they are taken straight to your squeeze page.This literally can be an opportunity to get cash on demand. In the past I'd make a couple of posts a day knowing that those posts would result in sales, it's a great method and will reap dividends if you use it well.
Example of a forum signature link
I also have some software called Forum Renegade, which will find the niche forums for you to post on and will also find threads by keyword, so you can be ahead of the game, using this software will make you work very efficiently and I recommend you purchase it. You can get hold of Forum Renegade here
Article Marketing
Once upon a time Article marketing was a dream, back in the day there was a method called "Bum Marketing" whereby you would create several articles related to the product you were promoting and at the time Google favoured content from article directories like Ezinearticles. So a well written article related to your niche would immediately rank well and you'd consistently make sales.
Alas Google put an end to this strategy, so it's not really worth the time of day these days. I still pick up the odd sale from articles I wrote back in the day, but the traffic is minimal and I wouldn't recommend it unless you have a lot of time to waste for very little return. If you look on the Warrior Forum you will see that some people still advocate this as a viable method..suggesting that you publish your articles first on your blog and then submit to the articles to the Article directories…so people will publish your articles on their sites…a very bad Idea these days as Google will penalize you for duplicate content. Don't listen to the people who promote this strategy, it's a waste of time.
Video Marketing
This is one of my favourite methods of getting traffic although I primarily use it to directly promote affiliate offers. People love video and if you pique their interest, then they will click through to your Squeeze pages. However we are talking quality videos here. One of the techniques that has worked well in the past for me was creating simple presentations using either Powerpoint, Open Office or Google Documents free Presentation application.
I love the latter as it allows me to access my content from anywhere and on any device, Google Drive is a recommended resource in my opinion. Simply create a presentation, add a voiceover and deliver content that will benefit your potential lead. In the resource box below the video add a link to your squeeze page and a description about the product you are promoting.
Videos also have the potential to go viral, so spending a bit of time creating a good video could help you to build a list very quickly. To do this you are going to need some screen capture software the best in my opinion is Camtasia you can download a free trial here, the downside with the trial is that your videos will be watermarked, however it's a great opportunity to try out this great software…I couldn't live without it! A free alternative is Camstudio…not quite as snazzy as the former…but "you get what you pays for". You can download Camstudio here.
You can use other tricks here like adding the "hand written scribe" style videos, these are very effective for immediately getting engagement. One great product I recommend picking up is VideomakerFX you can read my review of this product here, it's one of those tools that if used well will result in loads of new leads and buyers.
Blogging is also a great way of building a list, posting regularly to your blog with information which will benefit your readers is a must in my book. Not only will it help you to establish yourself as a brand, but it will also help with your list building efforts. You can also drive traffic from your Autoresponder (I use Aweber) and concentrate on building relationships with your subscribers. Having a list that you purely market to is a bad decision, you need to build up a relationship with your subscribers. You need to think less about money and more about providing value, which you can do by sending out a weekly newsletter with information that will appeal to your audience.
This also has a plus effect as the more traffic that gets sent to your blog, the better your authority and rankings will be.
Blog Commenting
Alas not quite what it was these days due to an over zealous Google. By finding and commenting on blogs within your niche you can drive traffic to your website and your squeeze pages. One of the biggest problems with blog commenting is the amount of Spam, you might have noticed on my blog I have disabled comments, this is due to the amount of crappy spam comments I receive on a daily basis. It's a bit of a shame really because I would love to encourage discussion here, but having to moderate the blog constantly and sending the rubbish comments to spam hell is not something I have the inclination to do.
However there are some blogs out there where you can post an intelligent comment and get a link back to your site, so it's still worth a shot!
Question and Answer sites
A few years ago I used to use Yahoo answers and Answerbag to drive traffic to my sites, it was a great method too. All I needed to do was spend a little time searching for people with problems in my niche and answer their questions and then place my site as a resource. I made quite a few sales this way and it was easy work, however because if abuse this method is not as effective as it once was and it's easy to get your Yahoo account banned…so not the best of choices these days alas, but still worth a shot…to test it out just buy a couple of level 2 Yahoo accounts on Fiverr.
I have given you a list of methods which I use to great success online for list building, I hope that you now feel ready to try some of these techniques and start building yourself a responsive and lucrative email list and start making some good money from your marketing efforts. A very important point to keep in mind while you are building your list is to think about the people who are subscribing, get personal with them, build relationships, remember that they are looking for solutions to their problems and it is your duty to help them. Planned future articles include, setting up a squeeze page for free and product development.
Wishing you great success in your Internet Marketing efforts
One of the questions I frequently get asked by my subscribers and Skype Mastermind members is how to effectively build an email list. So today in this article I will suggest a few of the methods which have worked well for me. This article concentrates on how to get traffic to a Squeeze page and the various methods you can use. Building a list is not rocket science, indeed it is really simple, but getting the right quality of leads on the other hand requires a little thought.
Product launches (building a list of buyers)
This is by far the quickest method which will get buyers onto your list, in the past I have used the Warrior Special Offers section of the warrior forum. However for this to work effectively you are going to need your own product and the support of affiliates. The premise is that you have a product that you sell on the Front end (on the sales page) usually this product is pitched at around the $9 mark and increases in a dime sale.
You attract affiliates by offering 50% plus commissions on this product, frequently I have given affiliates 100% on the front end, because as you can imagine making $9 a sale is far more appealing than $4.50 and to be honest I personally look to make at least $9 per item that I promote, or it just doesn't seem worth my while. You then aim to recover your investment by offering a OTO (One Time Offer)as well as further upsells, each time offering a downsell if the customer chooses to reject the OTO. A downsell essentially is an opportunity to get a slimmed down or more basic version of the OTO.
Some people create a free offer on The Warrior Forum, where people opt in to access a product. This method was recommended to me by a mentor a few years ago, again you'd be wise to set up a funnel to catch buyers. The only thing is it would be hard to get affiliates on board to promote for you as essentially they are just giving you their list for no return. I suppose you could offer commissions on the OTO, but essentially I think you are relying more on the traffic the offer sections is getting from people just browsing the board…worth a shot for $20 though.
Using this method you can build a list of responsive buyers really quickly. One thing I tried was adding a option to purchase membership to a Internet marketing software membership site of mine on the download page of the product. This was extremely effective and I managed to create an income stream of several thousand dollars a month within approximately 6 weeks. There isn't the space here to go into creating the products for this method, I'll do that in a future blog post. However this first method is the one that is going to bring you in the most money in the quickest possible time.
Solo Ads
With Solo ads you purchase traffic from a vendor who already has a list. They will then send "Clicks" to a squeeze page where you can offer a free product in return for the users email address. The user opts in to get the free product and then they are exposed to a one time offer. This has the added bonus of paying for the cost of the solo ad, so hopefully you will have not only have a list of potential buyers but will also have brought in a few sales.
Unfortunately there are a lot of unscrupulous Solo Ad vendors who will send fake users to your pages, so it is important to check out the reputation of the vendor first. A few of places to look for solo ad vendors are in the classified section of the Warrior Forum, other places to try are Safe Swaps and a new site which has caught my attention called Solo Checker, the latter gets my vote, because unlike Safe Swaps their is no monthly charge for being a solo ad provider.
Another great place to look for solo ad vendors is in Facebook Groups where the solo ad vendors performance is often reviewed by group members. You will also need to use tracking software so that you can check the quality of the leads you are being sent, this is extremely importrant, fortunately there is a free tracking script called Prosper 202, you will need to be a little tech savvy to get this set up and tracking your links, but believe me it is worth it.
Social Traffic
Getting organic traffic from the Google Serps is not what it once was as you know and these days we have to rely more on Social Networks for traffic. Social networking is cool because you can establish yourself as a brand and build a following, however it's a complete time sucker and it's far to easy to waste a day on Facebook without achieving anything. I use a service called IFTT this is a cool resource which will update your networks automatically based upon a formula..so for example…If I do a post on Facebook then IFTT will send that status to Twitter, Google Plus,Tumblr etc, you get what I mean? This is a very useful tool because it means that our updates will get more exposure…it really is a numbers game, the more you get out there…the more traffic you will pick up.
Example IFTT recipies
By posting ads within groups related to your niche on Facebook, you can direct leads to a squeeze page. Initially I tried using this method to send traffic directly to affiliate offers and although I got a few sales, the conversions as you can imagine are based on the quantity of traffic that clicks through.
A way of increasing your conversions would be to use Facebook group posting software, I have a product designed specifically for that purpose, It's called FB Poster and a free version is available for my list subscribers. The way I would recommend you use this software however is to drive traffic to a squeeze page, get people to opt in and then offer them an OTO so you can immediately separate the buyers from the freebie hunters.
In the next article I will describe some more effective free traffic sources you can use.
Watch this video…you'll be sold!
Every now and again a tool comes along that has great potential for getting you sales, so when I discovered 5 Minute Sales Letters from Matt Cook…which promised to deliver incredible sales pages with world class copy as you can imagine I was very interested, but I was also sceptical.
To be honest it takes quite a bit to impress me, I'll never promote rubbish and only ever look at anything which delivers on it's promise…forget the hype, forget the BS, if a product is crap I won't give it the time of day.
So what exactly is 5 Minute Sales Letters?
5 Minute Sales Letters is a WordPress plugin created by a chap called Matt Cook from Australia. The plugin was based on extensive research he performed by looking at content created by the top Copywriters in the world.
The premise of the plugin is that you fill in a few fields on a form related to the product you are going to promote, and after filling in the blanks, you press submit and "bingo" out pops a killer salespage, looking like a million dollars which could have been written by Gary Halbert…
Are you serious, could it really be that simple?
Well lets take a look and see if it really is that great…(you can see my review in the video above, with a demonstration of me using the plugin, plus you'll also learn some killer information for creating awesome headlines for free…make sure you watch)
OK, so I installed the plugin on my blog…picked a product I have PLR rights to, filled in the required fields and here is the initial output and incredibly this is what the plugin created in 5 minutes:
Now that is just an extract of the page…we are talking a 6000 word salespage here…pretty damn awesome. To create something like that would have taken me a day easily, if not several!
The page comes with a story, calls to action, testimonials features and benefits, guarantee etc…it really is incredible. Take a look at the bottom of the page below, it created all this content including the JVZoo button and an image of my ugly mug at the bottom
So the initial output looks more than good…However I'd personally want to make that page my own adding my own style and images (which you can see me doing in the video).
So lets take a look at a page where I created my own images and really made the copy my own…although to be fair I didn't change the original copy too much.
If you'd like to see the entire sales page just click on the image above, I'm sure you are going to be impressed.
I was totally stunned…here was a plugin that was going to save me so much time, the initial output was great, but editing and adding my own feel and media…well I'm sure you can see for yourself…it's a "nobrainer".
Just think about any PLR content you have sitting gathering dust on your hard drive…now you have an opportunity to make money from it easily! if you take action with this plugin you are definitely going to get sales…even if you don't have a clue about writing copy, that's how powerful it is.
The only thing I don't like about the plugin is although the content created looks great, it has been designed to post the page immediately to the site, but it's much better in my opinion to use this tool to create a starting point for a sales page and then take that content and place on a new site.You can easily achieve this by copying the html code and then posting that content into a new page, but maybe I'm being too picky?
So use the plugin as a content creation hub and not so much a publishing tool…if you get what I mean?
This plugin gets 5 stars from me, it's one of the best things I've seen this year and I'm totally in love with it! Just think…in no time you will be pulling in sales and laughing all the way to the bank…I know I will be!
Another thing that impressed me was the price and the training, Matt is an ethical Marketer and a great presenter, so he's got your back covered. I was so impressed that I reached out to him on Facebook and am glad to have him as a contact, look out for stuff Matt puts out in the future he's certainly going places.
Get this plugin now, you'll be glad that you did…there is no fluffy hype or BS here…this is the real deal!
It's been a really exciting week, I got hold of a copy of VideoMakerFX from Peter Roszak and I have to confess I'm really impressed.
The software enables anyone to create professional whiteboard animations and presentations in minutes…that isn't hype…this product really delivers the goods.
I'm sure you have seen the incredible whiteboard animations created by software like videoscribe…You know the type with the animated hand drawing characters and writing text, very slick indeed and very effective.
However Unlike Videoscribe, which will set you back close to $700 you can get VideomakerFX for a steal..I mean how does $37 sound?…I'm totally speechless! I think what impresses me the most is that the software could have been sold for so much more, even with a price tag of $100 it would still have been great value. Also because of the price it has made this technology accessible to anyone, regardless of budget.
The software is very easy to use and its apparent when you open it up that the design is obviously influenced by Videoscribe.
If you look at the actual scribing function within the software, you'll see that it doesn't look quite as professional as videoscribe, the hand animation It's just not as slick, but don't get me wrong it's not bad at all.
Admittedly if I had to choose between Videoscribe and VideoMakerFX then I'd have to go with the former, because Videoscribe is undoubtedly the better of the two, But then you would expect it to be as VideoMakerFX is a fraction of the price and it would be insane to expect more.
With this software you'll be churning out amazing professional videos in minutes (I know because I've been testing the software today and it's amazing) Just take a look at a video below I put together in a few minutes with the software:
VideomakerFX is an essential purchase and will pay for itself many times over…there's nothing else out there that comes close for the price, just watch the demos on the sales page…you will be more than impressed.
With this video software you can:
- Create powerful sales videos easily
- Make those character explainer videos that cost THOUSANDS
- Create beautiful photo slideshows
- Create presentation style videos, faster then using Powerpoint
- Create videos in full HD and exports in record time!
- Save time! The learning curve is just minutes!
- Use over 200+ Animated Scenes and Slides for your presentations
- Combine music,your own MPs, beautiful backgrounds, photos…this is special!
Lets look at some possible applications for this software:
- Create videos for offline business
- Start your own Fiverr Whiteboard animation service
- Use to promote your own or affiliate products
- Sell the service on the Warrior Forum
I think the great thing here is that Internet marketers on a budget will easily be able to set up their own service and profit from video creation for clients, Whereas before this would not have been an option for many people.
I'm positive that if you purchase this video software and take action then it will pay for itself many times over. Don't let it sit on your hard drive and not do anything with it, start making some great looking presentations and reap the benefits.
This software is a "nobrainer" not only will the software increase your sales and generate more leads but it will also present you and your company as experts giving you a professional brand and identity online!
So if you want to profit handsomely from simple video creation, you'd be wise to get this software, nothing out there gets close for the price.
And selling for only $37…that's just crazy! as it would still be great value with a $200 price tag.
Snap this up while you can, I guarantee that you will not regret it!
Virtually anyone involved in internet marketing will tell you that the money is in the list, we have all heard that expression at one time or another but the emphasis has to be on not just building a list, but a list that actually makes money.
How do we get people onto our list?
To attract potential buyers we need to have an irresistable free offer,something that offers great value to the prospect.
This can work really well, especially if the gift has a high perceived value. It could be an ebook, a video, an audio recording, software application…indeed anything that has perceived value to your potential subscribers.
It's much better to have a unique product to offer, for example a product that you created yourself. PLR products may be appealing because they make it easier to quickly offer a product to your audience, but you'll need to brand the software as your own to benefit most from this method.
When creating your offer I believe it is better to offer a gift and have had my best success that way, however some people believe that a gift is not necessary
There is a school of thought that it's better not to have an offer for people to join your list and although, I've had some success with this method, I believe that you get better quality leads from offers.
Another method is to put up several pages with each one linking to the next…with an enticing hook line to encourage people to click through to the next page, make sure you use quality information for this method. You could do this for a few pages or several and on the last page inform the prospect to get more information they will need to sign up.
This also acts as a way of filtering out the time wasters and "tyre kickers". It also gives you an opportunity to connect with your audience and build trust, this wll make it easier to sell to your subscribers in the future.
Whatever List building method you use, make sure to "test" and learn what method works the best for you.
Althernative list building methods…
You don't even have to rely on Squeeze pages, popups or exit popups to get subscribers, or even use an autoresponder, believe it or not!
Look at these alternatives:
Facebook likes – when you post to your Facebook page, you'll show up in the feeds of people who've liked you.
Twitter -When you send out a "Tweet" your followers will see it and if they like it, you'll get Retweets, further expanding your reach and also attract new followers
YouTube channel subscribers – Everytime you post a new video your subscribers are notified, this is a great method for getting traffic to affiliate offers and has worked very well for me.
Pinterest followers -If the quality of your pins is good, you'll get "repinned" further extending your reach.
LinkedIn connections – if you're business focused linked in has great potential fr attracting targeted clients.
I thoroughly recommend that you try my Traffic master software, this will allow you to create redirects for Images on Facebook…you can however use these same redirects to send traffic from Google Plus and Pinterest. This is a fantastic method for sending people diretly to the affiliate offer you are promoting.
I think the best strategy is to use all of the above as you'll be giving yourself more opportunities for getting traffic to your offers and will not only build a list but makes some sales along the way.
Making money online is something that so many people dream about, there's a multitude of paid sources which feed on our dreams and offer us instant results, but the reality as I'm sure you know is so much different.
If you want to do well online you're going to need to change your mindset and think like a seller rather than a buyer. This means rather than purchasing every offer that promises you the world, you need to stop and think when you read that sales page…ask yourself if you really do need that wonderful product…don't let yourself be influenced by emotion.
When I started working online I literally didn't have any money to invest in these beautiful shiny things even though I could see that many would be of benefit to my business. My strategy then was to research the topic and determine what the strategy was behind it and then by using a free programming software language (Autohotkey) I'd build my own product.
So where do you find these strategies? Take a look at forums in your niche and use Google to find related content on those forums use site:forum.com "keyword"+strategy or "site:forum.com "keyword"+"How to"
do you get the idea?
A great place to look is on the Black hat forums because you'll find some really innovative thinking, many marketers you know use these sites as a resource for building products.
Another thing to consider when tempted to purchase a new plugin for wordpress is to look at wordpress.org and check out to see if there is a plugin there that will do the job of the paid one. Many plugin developers get their ideas from browsing the plugins there and I have seen some direct clones of free plugins offered for sale on the Warrior Forum.
If you can get into the product developer/seller mindset then you will be on the right track. Think like a buyer and you'll be on the path to poverty. Even when you start making money still be frugal with your purchases.
I remember what it was like when all of a sudden I had several thousand dollars in my Paypal account, the temptation was always there to buy, because now I had the finances to do so. However, I still resisted temptation only ever investing in anything that I was certain would benefit my business or increase my productivity.
If you are able I recommend that you get into software development or creating video products where you can teach people a new skill. Think about your abilities and how you can capitalize on them. Many go down the ebook route, but software and video have so much more value based on my own personal experience.
So there you have it, I've just given you some tips which will not only save you money but also get you on the path to making money unhindered by shiny object syndrome, just think about what I've said there truly is method in my madness.
Hey guys here's a review of a plugin that I've just picked up, it's called WP Picpoll and it allows you to easily set up a poll,survey or quiz on your blog. Each selected option can be used to point people to a specific page, so it could be used to promote affiliate links or for listbuilding, two areas of great interest to me.. You can either create squeeze style pages with attractive guru style backgrounds or you can embed the quiz/poll into a blog post by just entering a shortcode.
I like applications which are intuitive and getting this plugin up and running was simple, there are training resources and access to support available from within the plugin's settings page, but to be honest setting up your fist quiz or poll is so easy I doubt if you'll be needing it. In terms of usability it's very user friendly and setting up a poll takes a couple of minutes maximum. I can see some great potential for this plugin on my sites, anything that is going to encourage user interaction has got to be a good thing. The only problem most people will have is thinking up new polls and quizzes!
Have a look at the following examples:
So in the above example each one of the social Icons can be voted on once, and after voting the visitor is sent to whatever page you want. I love the translucent overlays they look great on a guru style background.
In this example you could be sending your customer directly via your Amazon affiliate link to the product in the thumbnail, again another great way to use this plugin. This plugin could definitely be good for seasonal affiliate promotions.
Or you can set up a quiz and give your visitor the opportunity to win a free prize if they guess correctly…this of course could be tied in to an optin form.
This is the example I decided to choose as I have embedded the shortcode created by the plugin into a blog post. In my example further down the page, you'll see that the Social Icons are linked to my Facebook, Google and Twitter profiles. A little unimaginative on my side, but it gives you an idea of how you could use the plugin to your advantage.
The last screenshot is for another competition, I like the aesthetics of this plugin, it looks great and the options jump right out at you. I like this plugin and will be using it here on Stealthymarketer, II just need to be a little more imaginative with its use but I certainly can see is potential.
So here we go, down below is a poll I set up with the plugin, try voting on one of the options and see the plugin in action.
[nds_poll id='2′]
Want to know another nice fact about this plugin? It will only cost you $10 to buy the single site license…and the Developers license will only cost you $10 more. This is definitely one of those plugins that will be an asset to your business and will allow you to engage well with your site visitors.
7 Day Special UBOT Discount
Hey guys, today I have got something incredibly exciting to share with you…I have negotiated a very special deal with Ubot Studio and for the next seven days you can get the standard and professional version of Ubot with a 20% discount, but it gets better as you can also get the developer version of this awesome software development platform for a massive 25% off.
I've had a lot of success with Ubot and it's enabled me to build a successful online business, the ease of development and the power of the software makes it simple for anyone to create their own software, whether they want to automate their online activities, to be a freelancer or a product developer.
Just take a look at the video below and you'll see just how simple it is to create a software application. In the following video I create a software tool for twitter, which automatically sends out updates. I built this software in under 15 minutes and just goes to show how easy it is.
Imagine not having to purchase any more software from the Warrior Forum, because you will make your own. Just consider the savings you'll make using Ubot studio, you'll never be tempted by all those new shiny WSO's and instead you'll be in the seller mindset and believe me that is exactly where you want to be in this business.
Now imagine if you could just stop buying WSO's…Imagine if you could create products yourself to automate your internet marketing, SEO, submissions to sites, updating your blogs…virtually anything you currently do in your browser….and what if you could actually turn things around and get in the seller mindset for a change?
The good news is it is possible and it's also been made very easy for you to do, all you have to do is to have an idea and a simple to use development platform.
That's exactly what I did, I purchased Ubot Studio and started making and selling my own software and in the process I have made a lot of money. The cool thing is that this is something that anyone can do, the software can be used by newbies and experienced programmers alike!
The biggest obstacle is the price for most people, and normally Ubot Studio will set you back a couple of hundred dollars, plus for the standard version. (However it really is a good investment because you can then become a product developer or use your software creations to provide a service)
For the next 7days I have managed to negotiate a special deal with the Ubot guys and can get you some hefty discounts on the latest and greatest version (5) which was released in October. This discount will only be open until December 8. After that this discount will no longer be available.
$189 for Standard (20% off) https://secure2.ubotstudio.com/products/ubot-studio-standard-edition?coupon=RMUB5P
$397 for Pro (20% off) https://secure2.ubotstudio.com/products/ubot-studio-professional-edition?coupon=RMUB5P
$517 for Dev (25% off) https://secure2.ubotstudio.com/products/ubot-studio-developer-edition?coupon=RMUB5P
If you can afford it I thoroughly recommend that you purchase, because it will not only save you money (you can stop buying WSO's) you can also become a software developer, freelancer or use the software to offer a service on sites like FIverr.
I hope you can see the value in this, I stand behind Ubot Studio 100% as it's the one tool that really turned things around for me and I've never looked back.
If you have any questions about Ubot Studio and developing with it, just shoot me an email and I'll answer them for you.
To your success as a product developer!
Hi Guys,
Just thought I'd introduce you to my new software I've built for Facebook. The software creates and uploads those image/ quotation combinations which are so popular with users on Facebook. The cool thing is the software makes it so easy to do, you have a choice of over 20 image backgrounds you can use and combine with whatever text you want to use. You have a choice of Font Size and style, and with just one click you can create am image that could go viral. I've been really impressed during testing as I have seen first hand how effective using a tool like this is for getting, likes, shares and for engaging with your audience.
Take a look at the image below and you'll see just how effective this tool is, this was with the first incarnation where I was just rendering text on a plain coloured background. However with the latest version you have a choice of over 20 beautiful stylish backgrounds.
The one thing I noticed was as soon as I started posting images, people would comment, like and share, and the only thing I really needed to do was to find some classic quotes to use with the software. The software not only renders the images but will post directly to your Facebook profile with one click of a mouse. Take a look at the software in the image below:
You can even use html commands in the software so you can bold text,change the colour, ad breaks, it really is something.
And here's a selection of backgrounds from the software, to add instant style to your creations. I'll also be adding to the collection as time goes by.
This is a perfect tool for getting your audience engaged, not only will you love it, but your potential clients will too! I'll be giving my list subscribers the opportunity to get this cool software for a steal before it's officially released…so keep an eye on your emails, you really don't want to miss this one.

In a nutshell, it's either feast or famine when it comes to getting information on the history of pulp fiction on the Internet, depending on what you're looking for. There are plenty of sites out there, but be careful as to the accuracy of the information. For one thing, as we know, there is a lot of questionable material out there on the Web. So that's a general disclaimer. Also, there is a lot of anecdotal history out there about the pulps - stories about writers, editors, publishing houses, statistics on the numbers of magazines, fables and folklore - that has been passed down for decades. This information may have been exaggerated over the years or not even true to begin with.
The history of pulp fiction is full of holes and stories that cannot be verified or documented. When pulp fiction started to die off, many of the authors, editors, publishers, and the reading public didn't feel the necessity to put the history down in writing. In such a disparaged industry, not many people saw the importance of keeping all of their bookeeping and editing records for posterity. So double and triple check your sources, and don't take anything for granted.
With that said, I'm starting a link list of helpful websites. Some of these are directories, like the Yahoo site, and many are archives at various universities. I have picked these to start because they've been around a long time, have reputable authors, and I haven't found any glaring errors in the text.
If you're looking for good reading material, you can go to the Pulp Writer website (www.pulpwriter.com) and go to recommended reading. There is a bibliography listed of books used for my work in Pulp Writer. There are lots more out there - those on the Pulp Writer list are just those used for my work in that book.
Oh, and by the way...if you're going to do search on "pulp fiction" on the Internet, you can save yourself a lot of time by trying to get a little more specific than just putting in the words "pulp fiction." Those words will just get you a ton of web sites about Quentin Tarantino's movie. (No disrespect to Mr. T - his movie was a homage to the great pulp magazine "Black Mask"). But also use words like "magazine," "history," and "Western," etc.
Good luck!
I'm waiting for info from the Arizona Historical Society on the Willard Hotel in Tucson. To be continued....

One turns on her own...
Marie Cocco is pretty liberal (even though she writes for The Post)...and she's calling Obama out. Who'd a thunk it?
http://www.ohio.com/editorial/commentary/24162944.html Word games by Obama on abortion rights Published on Wednesday, Jul 09, 2008 WASHINGTON: Somewhere along Barack Obama's winding road through the red states, he lost me. It happened when he talked about women who are ''feeling blue.'' Obama says that these women should not be able to obtain a late-term abortion, because just ''feeling blue'' isn't the same as suffering ''serious clinical mental health diseases.'' True enough. And totally infuriating. During the recent Obama pander tour — the one in which he spent about a week trying to win over conservative religious voters — the presumptive Democratic nominee unnecessarily endorsed President Bush's faith-based initiative, a sort of patronage program that rewards religious activists for their political support with public grants. Then in a St. Louis speech, Obama declared that ''I let Jesus Christ into my life.'' That's fine, but we already have a president who believes this was a qualification for the Oval Office, and look where that's gotten us. Obama's verbal meanderings on the issue of late-term abortion go further. He has muddied his position. Whether this is a mistake or deliberate triangulation, only Obama knows for sure. One thing is certain: Obama has backhandedly given credibility to the right-wing narrative that women who have abortions — even those who go through the physically and mentally wrenching experience of a late-term abortion — are frivolous and selfish creatures who might perhaps undergo this ordeal because they are ''feeling blue.'' The wordplay began when Obama, in an interview with the religious magazine Relevant, said he believes late-term abortions can be banned except in cases where ''a serious physical issue . . . arises in pregnancy, where there are real, significant problems with the mother carrying that child to term.'' In other words, a woman's emotional and psychological health would not be considered factors. Obama said he doesn't think '' 'mental distress' qualifies as the health of the mother.'' Since this contradicts the landmark Roe v. Wade decision and subsequent court rulings that have upheld mental health exceptions to abortion bans, the campaign had to flip back from the flop. Obama spoke to reporters on his campaign plane and gave a definition of a mental health exception that goes like this: ''It can be defined by serious, clinical mental health diseases. It is not just a matter of feeling blue.'' He noted that neither abortion-rights supporters nor the courts have ever interpreted a mental health exception that way. They have not. Because this sort of language — that women might have late-term abortions just because they feel ''blue'' — is that of the anti-abortion lobby. As part of its campaign to ban the procedure, anti-abortion activists have consistently depicted women who have abortions as doing so for convenience, to get themselves out of an uncomfortable jam of their own making. In all the years I have covered the incendiary politics of late-term abortion — procedures that comprise only about 1 percent of abortions in the U.S. — I have never come across a woman who terminated a pregnancy late because she was ''feeling blue.'' I have interviewed married women who ended a planned pregnancy after it went catastrophically wrong. One was carrying a fetus whose brain had grown outside the skull. Another had endured months of unexplained and uncontrollable bleeding, only to discover after her abortion that the placenta was breaking up and being passed from her body. The medical conditions these women suffered might or might not have been considered purely physical under a restrictive abortion law that a state legislature — or the U.S. Congress — might pass. Their lives weren't in direct jeopardy; the pregnancies were. They agonized over their choice. Did they feel ''blue''? No. It was much, much worse than that. A campaign spokesman said Obama made the point about ''feeling blue'' to show that women do not make abortion decisions lightly. I do not question Obama's support for abortion rights; he's been clear that he supports keeping abortion legal. But I do wonder why a candidate praised for his rhetorical gifts talks about women in the way that he does. During the primary campaign, he said Hillary Clinton launched political attacks on him ''periodically, when she's feeling down.'' He called a Detroit reporter ''sweetie'' when she was trying to ask him about job creation. Now he has incorporated a myth created by the right — that women who seek late-term abortions should not be allowed to do so if they are ''feeling blue'' — into his own lexicon. And this is enough to make me see red. Cocco is a Washington Post Writers Group columnist. She can be e-mailed at email@example.com.

Starring: Marlon Brando, Al Pacino
Director: Francis Ford Coppola
Genre: Drama
Year: 1972
Rating: 5 / 5
Director Francis Ford Coppola's epic masterpiece,The Godfather, is viewed by fans and critics alike as quite possibly the greatest film of all time. 1972's Oscar winner for Best Picture, The Godfather tracks the Corleone family's rise and near fall from power in the late 1940s and early 1950s, featuring an award-winning performance by Marlon Brando and career-making turns by Al Pacino, and Robert Duvall, and James Caan. It spawned to sequels - including the only sequel ever to win a Best Picture Oscar - and launched the careers of many of its key participants.
As the movie opens at the wedding of Connie Corleone (Talia Shire), we are instantly immersed in the dark underworld of the Corleone family. Vito Corleone's immortal line, "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse," brings us full-throttle into the action, and it is only a matter of time before the gunplay ensues. Gangland warfare is the norm in old New York, and the Corleone family soon finds itself drowning in blood, courtesy of some near fatal hits by rival families.
Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) has been the Godfather since his early twenties, complete with all the power and the misfortunes that come with it. It is a lifestyle he has chosen for himself, and one that he understands will be a primary part of the lives of his sons Sonny (James Caan) and Fredo. For his youngest son Michael (Al Pacino), Vito Corleone has always wanted something better than the gangster life. Michael is Ivy League-educated, a decorated war hero, and largely disconnected from the family business. All of that changes when another New York family declares war on the Corleone's, and a tragic loss is suffered. Michael is thrust into a position of leadership within the family, setting it on a course to regain its lofty standing.
This movie features well-acted performances throughout, from Marlon Brando and Al Pacino as the old and new Godfather, to Robert Duvall's role as adopted son in the Corleone family, to James Caan's greatest role ever, as fiery Sonny Corleone. Keep an eye out for Sonny's immortal fistfight with Connie's husband Carlo, a scene involving extensive use of a garbage can, which an anonymous friend of mine has called "the greatest scene in movie history." No one could deny that The Godfather is a "mob" film, or that it features extensive violence and crime. Yet first and foremost, The Godfather is about family, and how, in the most trying of circumstances, family always pulls together.

Certification: Rated R for violence and language.

Oligodendrocyte development is regulated by the interaction of repressors and activators in a complex transcriptional network. We found that two histone-modifying enzymes, HDAC1 and HDAC2, were required for oligodendrocyte formation. Genetic deletion of both Hdac1 and Hdac2 in oligodendrocyte lineage cells resulted in stabilization and nuclear translocation of beta-catenin, which negatively regulates oligodendrocyte development by repressing Olig2 expression. We further identified the oligodendrocyte-restricted transcription factor TCF7L2/TCF4 as a bipartite co-effector of beta-catenin for regulating oligodendrocyte differentiation. Targeted disruption of Tcf7l2 in mice led to severe defects in oligodendrocyte maturation, whereas expression of its dominant-repressive form promoted precocious oligodendrocyte specification in developing chick neural tube. Transcriptional co-repressors HDAC1 and HDAC2 compete with beta-catenin for TCF7L2 interaction to regulate downstream genes involved in oligodendrocyte differentiation. Thus, crosstalk between HDAC1/2 and the canonical Wnt signaling pathway mediated by TCF7L2 serves as a regulatory mechanism for oligodendrocyte differentiation.

"I don't have any consistency with following the media at all in this business," the musician says. "I don't have a subscription to anything except Guitar Player, which I've had for twenty years. I think in the best case, people who do rock journalism enjoy music and want to write about it. In other cases, you have people who are more journalistic paparazzi and just want to take a picture of somebody's butt. But I enjoy it all. Opinions about music are like entertainment for me."
Opinions about bands are usually attendant with comparisons, something else Kirkwood doesn't put much stock in. "I don't see comparisons between any bands, generally. Just the way bands proceed through the music business is always different."
The Puppets continue their own procession. Too High is the band's second major-label release, but it could be the foot in the door of the mainstream. And the group still has its underground sensibilities. For Curt Kirkwood the process of keeping the meat of the Puppets fresh is "organic, but I have to do things to protect it. It's not like it thrives by itself. I have to do business; it's plain old pragmatic business dealings with people.
"As we've started to grow -- the growth has happened really slowly for years, and in the past couple of months, it's been escalating at a pace that really shows the cracks. And there's cracks that show bigtime right now. On a certain level, it's a gleeful adventure, what's happening right now, but we have to fill in those cracks, 'cause they could get huge."
And this is one crack: trying to get his record label to hire someone to drive the band's touring vehicles. "I don't see why we shouldn't be able to. We're a fucking priority at PolyGram right now," he says, wincing. "It's one of the mysteries in my business right now." That's right, after fourteen years, these guys still drive themselves. All over the world. It's not just comfort Kirkwood is after: "I've taken a Winnebago with a U-Haul off the road at 60 miles an hour 'cause I fell asleep," he says. "I know the difference between pampered and safety."
Mortality becomes an issue, particularly when you've got kids at home expecting daddy to come off the road in one piece. Kirkwood seems every bit the devoted father, at one point bragging with pride about the detailed brain his son Elmo has drawn over George Carlin's head on a nearby magazine cover.
Home is Tempe, the town Kirkwood was raised in, and though he may gripe about it, he's as much an Arizonan as Barry Goldwater. "I'm not particularly fond of Tempe," he says. "The boring stability of this place is what I like. It enables me to work free of interference of social bullshit or civil bullshit; overtures of civility. I'm not into it. I'd rather have human contact be chosen instead of random.
"That's what I hate about East Coast cities. They have aldermen and block watch, and they have to live in each other's laps, and I just don't want to do that. I just want to live in my imagination a lot more than that. I can only handle so much, trying to lead a life doing something as fragile as keeping a music career together."
The Meat Puppets, with Stone Temple Pilots and Red Kross, perform at 7:30 tonight (Thursday) at James L. Knight Center, 400 SE 2nd Ave, 372-0929. Tickets cost $18.50.

Susan to the Rescue: Orange Beef and Barley Stew Video
Susan demonstrates the best way to prepare stew meat
Hi. This is Susan Westmoreland in the Good Housekeeping Test Kitchen. And tonight, we're gonna make a Beef Stew with Red Wine. You can use all of that red wine not in the stew but we're gonna use the cork too because cork has some tannins and it's a natural tannin. And what does is it acts as a tenderizer. So, if you put a cork into a pot of stew or if you're braising a pot roast or even some people use it when they make octopus but I think you make stew few more times than you make octopus. Just put it in there and submerge it and it will actually help to tenderize the meat whether you're doing it on the stove top or in the oven. Easy tip. Enjoy the rest of the bottle of the red wine with your dinner. Susan Westmoreland in the Good Housekeeping Kitchen, helping you take back dinnertime.

What is the Best Cooler for Boating?
Buying a cooler isn't as simple as running to the local big box store and buying whatever is on sale. Buying a cooler involves making a number of decisions: What insulation is best? What size cooler fits my boat? Do I need a multi-purpose cooler? What brand is best?
And today's coolers have a number of features that make it worth the investment to upgrade.
But choosing the right cooler depends on how you use your boat. Anglers need different coolers than pleasure boaters. And day-trippers need different coolers than boaters who stay out on the water days at a time.
How Do You Plan to Use Your Cooler?
"Day trips with just a few people who need light snacks or lunch and a few beverages can take smaller, less insulated coolers, including soft coolers. Party barges require larger coolers with better insulation to reduce the need for constant ice maintenance from frequent accessing of the cooler," says Mark Kellum, Fishing Lifestyle Marketing Manager with MarineMax. He spends half his time on the water in a 40-foot Aft Cabin Sea Ray motor yacht and the other half on a 21-foot center-console light offshore fishing boat.
He says, "Inshore fishermen tend to use relatively small to medium coolers for the relative size of fish they will need to put on ice. Offshore anglers tend to need large to huge coolers for the catch, according to how their boat is set up and the targeted species. In addition, they spend more time offshore, even days at a time. They need stronger coolers that have a good tie-down system."
For day trips where you want to take lunch and a few beverages, almost any cooler will do, but buying the cheapest isn't always the most cost-effective decision in the long run, Kellum notes. "The better insulated coolers will use least amount of ice, which is a recurring cost of about $2 per 10 pounds."
For offshore purposes, boaters want a cooler that will not roll around. Check out tie-down accessories while you are buying your cooler.
If the coolers will be used as seating or steps, they need to be strong enough to support each purpose.
Kellum warns against using Styrofoam models. "The Styrofoam-style coolers made for beaches and tailgates are particularly susceptible to being destroyed on a boat and the lids tend to disappear overboard when running at speed," he says.
Cooler Options
Many boat models incorporate the cooler into seating and so the coolers need to be appropriately sized.
Pleasure boaters generally don't need the multi-day coolers and should purchase coolers that fit the space on the boat — so the shape and size of the cooler are important factors. Measure the height, width and depth of the space where the cooler needs to fit before you go shopping.
Some boaters appreciate the convenience of wheeled coolers. For example, Coleman makes wheeled coolers with capacity ranging from 16 to 100 quarts and Igloo has a similar range of sizes, offering a model up to 165-quart capacity with "all terrain" wheels. However, wheeled coolers tend to roll on the deck if not strategically placed and blocked, Kellum warns.
Some pleasure boaters prefer cooler bags for the convenience of carrying and stuffing into storage spaces. For example, SailorBags makes several CoolerBags (large, medium and small) out of sailcloth and Igloo has soft-side bags up to 36 quarts.
"Soft coolers tend to be able to fit in disparate places and don't damage shins when knocked around," Kellum says. "However, soft coolers tend to lose their cool more quickly than hard coolers."
And although space is usually at a premium on a boat, a smartly placed hard cooler can double as a seat.
Many anglers use coolers as fishboxes (a place to keep the fish cool while they continue to fish). These are generally large boxes, with 120-quart capacity or larger. Kellum recommends a 100-quart XTREME 5; the 150-quart Yukon Cold Locker by Igloo; and the Engel 123, which holds 123 quarts.
Kellum notes, "The Engel has a positively locking cover latch. Igloo has less impressive lid latches, and Coleman uses self-latching covers."
Better Insulation in Today's Coolers
Heavier duty, thicker insulation has created new competition in the marine cooler industry, according to Kellum. And the competition has resulted in better options for boaters.
He explains, "Coleman marine coolers once dominated this category and were even standard equipment in many boat models. For example, Engel Coolers introduced stronger and longer lasting coolers that can keep things cool for up to 10 days."
In response, Coleman and Igloo have come out with multi-day coolers. Coleman developed its XTREME coolers and Igloo developed Yukon Cold Locker line.
Other Features to Consider
Some coolers have small access doors in the lid so you do not have to open the big lid and let more cool air out and warm air in.
Many coolers claim "dry ice compatibility." How important is this? "Dry ice lasts longer and is much colder than traditional ice," Kellum says. "In fact, dry ice is so cold it can affect the plastic and insulation, causing brittleness and cracks in non-compatible coolers. However, in my experience, dry ice is particularly hard to find and expensive. The extreme cold can freeze foods and beverages making them untenable on a boat. And some people complain about the odor of the off-gasses. With traditional water-based ice, the slush that occurs as the ice melts will create a better conducting cool, since air is not a good conductor. Technically, you do not cool something. The conductivity is from hot to cold. Therefore you are conducting heat from the food and beverages, thus warming the ice and drawing heat energy away from the food and beverages until equilibrium."
Regardless of the science behind it, the bottom line is that few boaters actually need dry ice-compatible coolers.
Cooler accessories may include security systems, tie-down systems, seat cushions, non-slip tops for coolers that are used as steps, rack separators, and bait trays.

Screenwriters tend not to be high-visibility marquee players in the eyes of the moviegoing public, but what they write lays the foundation for the films, which is one reason why women screenwriters are so important.

I hate it that a lot of them spend more time arguing with me about how I've hurt their feelings than they do with other men about how they oppress women.
