4 Easy Steps to Create a Successful Direct Mail Campaign to Spark New Leads
For today's IT service provider, one of the biggest challenges is generating new interest and potential leads. There are many different ways you can go about generating leads for your IT business, but one relatively easy and low cost way is through a simple postcard direct mailing. Here are four tips to get a direct mail piece developed and out the door to start the phones ringing and the leads coming in the door!
Step 1: Craft Your Message
Identify your target audience and craft a simple, short message that addresses a specific pain point or common issue that your prospects encounter on a regular basis and explain how you can resolve it. Make sure to include a call-to-action (CTA) with a limited time offer to add a sense of urgency with a perceived value so they feel that they're getting something of true value for free. For example, offer a FREE IT health check of their network (valued at $XXX) to identify outdated equipment, possible security issues and other potential risks to their business' IT infrastructure.
Step 2: Show Your Creative Side
Design a simple and eye catching 5×7 postcard with your crafted message. For the front of the card, select a colorful, impactful image that will grab their attention and include a short headline that addresses a specific pain point. On the back of the postcard, include your short message, your limited time offer and your contact information, such as phone, email and website address. Use one of the many online digital printing services, such as Vistaprint, Uprinting, or visit your local FedEx, Office Depot, Staples or other office supply store to get your postcard printed.
Step 3: Acquire Your Mailing List
There are a few ways to go about finding a mailing list to reach your target audience. One method is to contact your local Chamber of Commerce to find out if any business lists are available for free or for a small cost. Another free option (but requires a bit of extra work) is to review the online Yellow Pages for your area to locate local businesses that meet your target audience demographics, and then copying and pasting their business addresses into an Excel spreadsheet for mailing purposes. To keep costs down while testing your postcard message, offer and lists, mail to small lists first (about 100 or so) until you know which lists provide the highest response rates and which messages resonate more.
Step 4: Address and Mail
Use one of the many pre-set label templates available in Microsoft Word or one of the various Avery label templates to print your database of names that you either received from your local Chamber of Commerce or compiled from your online search. Keep an accurate listing of database names to know which list(s) and message(s) worked best so you can use them again in the future.
Take your addressed postcards to your local Post Office to have the correct postage amount added or you may add postage stamps to the postcard yourself and drop them off at your nearest Post Office location. As with all mailings, you should review current postal regulations and specs for print areas and postage costs. You can do this by visiting www.usps.com.
For minimal costs and just a little bit of effort, you can generate a high quality, professional looking postcard mailing that targets local businesses in your area to help you grow your IT business. Follow these steps and see how something as simple as a postcard mailing can help get your phones ringing and the leads coming in your front door!

Irwin Mitchell has shelved plans for a stock market flotation despite previously indicating that an IPO could be a part of its future.
The firm has repeatedly outlined its ambition to secure £50m of external investment following the SRA's approval of its multiple-strand ABS application, which saw it receive five ABS licences (20 August 2012).
In 2011, group chief executive John Pickering, who was then managing parter, announced the firm's ambition to take on the mid-tier legal sector (25 April 2011). The firm said all options were on the table, including an IPO.
However, as the group posted its consolidated accounts for 2011/12, which showed a turnover of £187m, Pickering sounded a note of caution (8 February 2013).
He said: "At the moment we're working very nicely on an overdraft. We don't need to give any equity of the business away unless there's a serious need as a consequence to develop the strategy – for example a major deal."
The accounts showed that the firm had net debt af £13.7m at the end of 2011/12 and bank loans and overdrafts of £15.2m for 2011/12.
Pickering said: "At the moment we're just doing what we're doing with small deals and lateral hiring.
"We're quite happy with that position because the firm is being run in an efficient way. Sure, we've got things to improve on such as converting WIP [work in progress] into cash and bringing down debtor days, but this is a very healthy set of numbers."
Irwin Mitchell has five ABS licenses covering businesses operating separately within the firm's group structure, including Irwin Mitchell LLP; Ascent Collections Ltd, which offers field agency and debt collection services; Coris UK Ltd, which offers international assistance and insurance claims handling services; Irwin Mitchell Trustees Ltd, which accepts appointments as a trustee, executor and estate administrators; and Irwin Mitchell Trust Corporation Ltd, which accepts appointments to act as deputy from the court of protection.
It is waiting to hear whether a sixth licence has been approved after acquiring agency and arrears management company PDP Management Services (12 October 2012).
Pickering said the firm was continuing to target similar-sized opportunities and lateral hires to grow its business legal services side and improve the balance of the litigation-heavy firm.

Love of the game.
That was the dominant (and recurring) theme in a postgame briefing that attracted a horde of TV cameras and prompted a laugh and shake of the head by Marlon Byrd as he walked past the throng of reporters on his way to the team bus.
Alfonso Soriano showed how much he loves the game — and how much he loves collecting the $10 million owed to him for playing this season — by finally accepting a move from second base to the outfield for the Washington Nationals.
Faced with banishment to Major League Baseball's disqualified list if he didn't switch positions, Soriano played in left field Wednesday, following through on what he told manager Frank Robinson before the Nationals' 9-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals at Roger Dean Stadium.
Soriano played all nine innings, had a hit and scored a run. In the field, he even turned a double play when he caught a fly ball and made Cardinals shortstop David Eckstein pay for straying too far from second base.
"I don't have no more choice because I love the game," Soriano said afterward on why he moved to the outfield.
His reluctance to move had turned into a national story when Soriano refused to take the field for Washington's game Monday against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Space Coast Stadium.
The Nationals had given him until today to switch from second base to either left or center field.
If Soriano had refused again to play in the outfield, Washington would have petitioned MLB to put the four-time All-Star on the disqualified list for violating his contract.
Wednesday morning, Soriano rode the team bus to Jupiter. During a pregame talk with Robinson in the visiting manager's office, Soriano told the veteran skipper that he was ready to play and also was willing to play left field.
Robinson said he considers the matter of where Soriano will play this season to be closed.
"It's a relief for everybody, it really is," Robinson said. "You get the distractions away from here, and we can focus on baseball now and getting this ball club tuned up and ready to go for opening day."
Had Soriano gone on the disqualified list, he would not have been paid and wouldn't have earned credit for time served. He needs to play one more season to become a free agent.
For all his talk about love of the game, Soriano's concession also appeared to be, well, a concession that the Nationals essentially had him in checkmate.
"I don't have control of the situation right now," he said.
General manager Jim Bowden traded for Soriano in December without talking to him, because the Texas Rangers wouldn't allow contact before a deal was consummated.
It was a risk, Bowden conceded. But he also figured that if Soriano wouldn't listen to reason — Washington already has three-time All-Star Jose Vidro at second base and badly needs Soriano in the outfield — then he would at least listen to Robinson, a Hall of Famer.
"Obviously, if we knew it was going to play out this way, we wouldn't have done it," Bowden said of the trade. "My preference would be to keep him. We're a much better team with him. My preference is for everyone to be happy in this game. Organizations do better, players do better when we're all happy."
Translation: Bowden will continue to shop Soriano, though the GM has made it clear he won't make a trade without receiving value in return.
For now, Soriano will take a crash course on playing left field with Jose Cardenal, a special assistant to Bowden, serving as his personal instructor.
Robinson, for one, expects Soriano to embrace the challenge rather than make a half-hearted effort at playing outfield. He'll be in the lineup again Thursday at Space Coast Stadium in Viera when Washington plays Baltimore.
"Just knowing him for a brief period of time, I feel like he's going to go out there and give it 110% and he's going to put the effort in to get better on a daily basis," Robinson said. "He's not going to go out there and just put time in."
Soriano agreed.
"I have 10 days to get ready for the season, and I want to play the best I can," Soriano said. "I want to practice every day in left field and try to get comfortable."

Waiting For Superman
My dad did always love his comics. The capes eventually lost their snap for me, though. This is what came out of it.
My dad loved comics.
They made him laugh, or his eyebrows pull down.
He was a cool guy, my dad. He wasn't that concerned with economics.
He's still around here, somewhere in this town.
I don't see him anymore, though.
But I always remembered his comics, with Batman and the rest.
I miss him sometimes, when superheroes occupy my mind, and when I'm alone.
My mom, though, she put him to the test.
And he failed. Mom's tastes with him never quite aligned.
I guess that could explain it.
The truth is, when I was younger, I used to wait.
For Superman, to come for me. To do away with that troublesome Brit.
The one my dad left mom for. Twelve to eight.
That's when he left, after all the screaming and fights.
My sister says it was only a matter of time, simply fate.
I don't believe her, not one bit, but she's seen the sights.
Unlike me, I suppose. I used to love them.
My super heroes, I mean.
They were mine, but the time was 7:48 pm.
When he left, and they lost their appeal. On them, I no longer lean.
They aren't my support, but inside is where it changed.
Their capes lost their snap, and my daddy went away.
And my superheroes were exchanged.
For other, real mentors, my reality no longer held at bay.
Even though, to me they were real.
They were my identity, who I am.
So now my sister smokes, she drinks, she steals.
I have no heroes, away them swam.
Perhaps across the River Nile, I didn't watch.
No, I didn't watch my life crumble.
Life isn't a bedpost anymore, this mistake isn't a notch.
This time, I'm not going to stumble.
So leave me the hell alone, I'm fine.
You'll never find any evidence saying otherwise.
No bells ring for me, they never chime.
My sister, she's 'bad', now, but she still cries.
So maybe the world isn't that screwed up after all.
I can't deny it, I'm waiting. For what, I don't even know anymore.
And they've plummeted, my superheroes, I wince every time they fall.
I'll tell you a secret, though: look for that key. If you don't find it, break down the door.
Because I can't afford to fail. And I'm still getting ready, but I'll give you the truth:
Don't leave it to fate, slide out of that booth.
Maybe I'll try to, but I can't. I'm stuck, waiting for a glimpse of tall and tan.
I'm waiting for my Superman.

New Places with Old FacesMature
Act 5
Scene 1
(March 5th)
(Greg, Imogen, Daz, Suzanne, Danny, Wilhelmina, Jack, Florence, Gordon, Aaron, Chantelle, Charmaine, Chelsea, Helpless TA, Mrs Conrad, Eric, Joey, Charlie, Auntie Jeana, Mr Tedious and Mrs Layton all surround Melody's grave)
Eric: Anyone want to say a few words?
Mrs Conrad: No, were wasting time, we need to move, not mourn for this nutjob.
Priest (sobbing): She was my nephew… she was all I had left… (Wailing to the sky) WHY!?WHY!? WOULD SHE DO THIS!?
Chelsea: Erm sir, the sky can't talk back you know.
Helpless TA: Yeah, despite Chelsea's lack of knowledge. I actually get her point, screaming at the sky is going to achieve nothing.
Chantelle: I know right, I only scream at the sky when I have an orgasm.
Joey: And how are yew coping without a boyfriend? No sex for this long?
Chantelle: Oh doe worry I got myself a large enough dildo. (pulls a massive piece of steel shrapnel from her fanny)
Wilhelmina: For old time's sake, how the fuck is that logically and physically possible? You got a TARDIS up there, or something?
Chantelle: First milkshake and now Tardis' ,it's called a fanny, plain and simple. I doe get what's wrong with people lately.
Imogen: You clearly don't watch films then.
Chantelle: You…!
Mrs Conrad: (warningly) Imogen, we spoke about this yesterday, one more argument with Chantelle here and trust me you will be slapped silly.
Eric: Honey, that's a little harsh, don't you…?
Mrs Conrad: Shut up.
Eric: Yes dear.
Thomas: Dominance in its prime, right there.
Mrs Conrad: Your point?
Thomas (terrified suddenly): Oh… nothing.
Chantelle: Anyhow as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted. (glares at Imogen) I use this as my dildo.
Joey: Your vagina's bleeding, doesn't that hurt?
Chantelle: The more pain, the more pleasure, wanna try and stick your rock hard cock up here Joisey boi? See if you can make it bleed?
Joey: Yeah, I'll stick my cock up there… when I'm a corpse.
Chantelle: Deal then.
Joey: Yew is actually considering…? Oh okay, I give up.
Wilhelmina: Thought you gave up ages ago.
Joey: I did but… this, this just reached a new level, of messed up.
Greg: But Chantelle? What about the baby? Won't using that, harm the baby too, and you said you'd look after it?
Chantelle: I like to take risks sometimes, besides, I did much worse with my previous babes and there all fine.
Greg: They ended up in an orphanage and there probably all dead now! Aren't you sad?
Chantelle: Never knew em, gave up for good reasons, you see if you can't be bothered with people, you doe get upset when they die, and you don't die of heartbreak like Priest here. Ain't that right Charmaine?
Charmaine: Oh… y-yeah…
Chantelle: You didn't sound sure.
Charmaine: Well… believe it or not, I- I am actually starting to like…
Chantelle: Oh God bab, ya can be helpless sometimes but this… this is a change I doe like.
Mr Tedious: Don't hold her back, this is better side to her and we all like it.
Chantelle: Doe listen to your boyfriend.
Charmaine: Boyfriend? Chan I… I cor believe I'm saying this, but his a bit too old to be my boyfriend and were just… friends.
Charmaine: What the fuck is wrong with the world lately? Mortdale gone, Charmaine caring and making male friends she doesn't want to fuck, at this rate everyone will pair up and I'll be the only single one.
Florence: Not to worry, you have your Mr. Steel with you to pleasure yourself with.
Chantelle: But I need a real cock, if I doe get some soon I…
Gordon: EVERYONE SHUT UP! (Silence)
Gordon: LISTEN TO YOU ALL BLABBERING ON ABOUT SEX AT A TIME LIKE THIS! OVER MELODY'S GRAVE! YOU SHOULD ALL BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES! CAN WE NOT HAVE ONE MINUTE TO RESPECT THE FALLEN!?
(Longer silence)
Aaron: Well Gord, guess yam right, ya should all be ashamed and respect needs to be shown.
Mrs Conrad: Well she is getting no respect from me, end of. Taking the easy way out, I don't care, so I'm ready to move.
Jack: I don't care either… (Twists metal in his hands) bitch had it coming.
Priest (snarling): What did you say?
Jack: The. Bitch. Had. It. Coming. Thinking she was all superior to us all, because of her fake gift…
Florence: Jack…
Jack (ignoring her): …she committed suicide, because she was the traitor and she knew I would get her!
(Stares at his reflection, in the metal weapon in his hands)
Priest: YOU
(Charges at Jack as Joey tries to hold him back, but suddenly he falls flat on his face clearly passed out)
Imogen: Whoa what…?
Charlie (hand outstretched and behind where Priest fell): Nerve in the neck, you hit it and it should knock someone out cold, Joey taught me yesterday.
Joey: Well done bro (Hi Five's him) not even I remembered that, yew really have potential to go far.
Charlie: I try my best.
Jaya: I suggest we move him, seeing Melody's grave will only cause him further grief and more anger, it is not needed not as this time.
Thomas: True, well let's get moving…
Joey (to Melody's grave): Well looks like me and my cousin are the last two Americans here, we didn't speak that much but I believed your tales and maybe yew did have a gift. I don't know why you decided to end it all, but I guess it was tough on yew right? Still I hope you're at peace now… or at least a spirit watching us.
Gordon: … so beautiful…
Auntie Jeana: Ain't it.
Gordon: Erm… I was on about Charmaine's ass and I meant to say it was fit fam.
Jaya: (rolling eyes) Of course.
(The group slowly pack up and leave Melody's grave and the tree and continue to move north)
Wilhelmina: Are we there yet!
Mrs Layton: Well it#s been five days since the blast, we've been walking north for the past two days, so today and for another 2 days we walk north and then we turn west, followed by 2 days walking and pronto were there!
Greg: Easier said than done, my leg is still aching.
Imogen: Hang on, I'll support you.
Chantelle: … getting it on…
Auntie Jeana: Oh just shut it love… right on we go…
(They carry on for another hour or so, before Mrs Conrad stops)
Imogen: What's wrong?
Mrs Conrad: There's nothing wrong, I am actually elated about what I have just discovered, that prick Danny is dead!
Jack: Say what!?
Mrs Conrad: He hasn't been heard arguing with the pathetic drunk all morning, so he must be dead!
Danny: Back here, actually.
Mrs Conrad: Shut up, I can dream can't I?
Imogen: Mum's got a point though, you've been quiet lately, too quiet…. What's up?
Danny: A 2009 Pixar film.
Imogen: No, why are you so quiet? Was it Zsa Zsa, Melody?
Danny: It's not that… jeez. I'm just…
Imogen: Just?
Danny: …Thinking.
Greg: Bout what?
Danny: Nothing concerning you.
Suzanne: Guys look over there! There's a smoke plume!
Greg (shivers): Not any more fire, I've been shakin' like a leaf since…
Mrs Conrad: Shut it, wimp! This looks like it has other survivors written all over it.
Jack: And what if their all hostile!
Florence: What if they are not?
Mrs Layton: What if their cannibals?
Greg: What if their Roger's men?
Wilhelmina: What if they are just normal like us?
Danny: What if there all assholes?
Mrs Conrad: What if they are all assholes like Danny here?
Aaron: What if they were posh?
Imogen: What if there old or sick? They'll need help.
Thomas: What if their not?
Jaya: What if they could be helpful to us?
Gordon (singing terribly and in a fan boy outburst): WHAT IF WE ALL! OPENED OUR ARMS! WHAT IF WE CAME TOGETHER AS ONE!
(Drawn out silence)
Aaron: You get stabbed.
Auntie Jeana: Well he has a point; let's just check who it is.
(They approach the camp slowly, where there are is a large number of seemingly normal people trying to get warm around a large campfire)
Daz: Other people, bloody hell I thought we were the last.
Eric: We should check if they have supplies, were running low ourselves.
Mrs Layton: They'd ask for a trade, what we could trade them.
Suzanne: I dunno but I'll handle this.
Florence: No, I am the prettiest and most photogenic and approachable (forces bust in Jack's face) this is how I will approach them.
Jack (muffled): et…. Fb…
Daz: Yeah um Su, you handle this better.
Florence: WHAT?!
Suzanne: Florence you're approach is just border-lining slutty, to persuade people you got to be classier than that, trust me I'm a newswoman. I am professional at presenting myself.
Florence (immaturely): Fine, let's let the grown up news woman, attempt to talk to these people, she'll ruin it for all of us.
(Ignoring this, Suzanne slowly walks into the camp when…)
Random Slag in the Crowd: INTRUDER!
(The camp is on alert instantly)
Suzanne: Wait, I'm not here too… (Recognising Random Slag in the Crowd's voice) wait a minute… you, the lady that just yelled you're from Mortdale, aren't you?
(From where she is hidden the crowd, Random Slag in the Crowd recognises Suzanne)
Random Slag in the Crowd: OH GOD! IT'S YOW! THE NEWS LADY FROM MORTDALE!
Survivor 1: Wait, you know her?
Random Slag in the Crowd: Not personally, but she's from Mortdale all right.
(Just then the leader of the camp spots Suzanne)
Leader: Who are you? What are you doing here? What do you want?
Suzanne (standing up straight): I'm Suzanne Reid, I'm a 26 year old newswoman from London who was transferred to Mortdale. I and my people hiked out here and we want supplies and then we'll be on our way…
Florence (mocking her): "My people" who does she think she is?
Leader: Whoever your people are, where are they? I want to see them all!
Suzanne: Guys come on out! There not gonna attack… I hope.
(Slowly the gang creep from their hiding place and face the wary camp dwellers)
Man next to the leader: Mate their insane… look at all the weapons they have!
Leader: And have the people that have attacked us, announced themselves like this? No they've all snuck in, they look sane enough, plus you know what we need, with this many people.
Daz: Well ya going let us in, or not!?
Leader: Sure thing! But if any of you so much as make a single move with those weapons of yours the camp will slaughter each and every one of you, without a second thought understand!?
Suzanne: We understand, we just need supplies!
Leader: Okay then…
(Goes out to approach them)
Leader: I'm Sven by the way, elected leader here.

Where I stayed
Big 4 Bungalow Park
We were a bit worried about travelling in this weather but we wanted to get through Sydney today (Sunday). We had so many negative reports about driving through Sydney
We stayed the night at Shellharbour. We would have liked to stay longer but the park was a bit ordinary, well not the park itself but the people who ran it. When you book in and behind the counter is a guy in a dressing gown and PJs, well you have to wonder!! After driving through the park we came across another woman sitting out the front having a fag in her PJs, around 3pm, we were beginning to think that maybe we had missed a PJ party and that it was a requirement to wear PJs during the day. It wasn't worth moving from one park to another so we have moved on to Ulladulla.
On the drive from Shellharbour to Ulladulla we went in and out of most of the small coastal towns including the Shoalhaven Heads and also visiting the Jervis Bay area. We had lunch at a great little place called Huskisson. I was going to take a photo of us kissin' in Huskisson, but damn, I forgot..... I am sure you will all be saddened by that.
Jervis Bay has become renowned for its fabulous beachside locations and lifestyle, with Hyams Beach reputedly having the whitest sand in the world!!!! Not sure about their claim but it is certainly worth the drive. St Georges Basin and Basin View were also very scenic.
We finally booked into the caravan park at the Burrell Lake park at Ulladulla. There was only one other caravan in the park. The next day they left so we had the whole 88 sites to ourselves.The weather was beautiful, cold nights but lovely sunny days.
After 3 days checking out the area we will move further down the coast tomorrow.

The Wrong Kind of Heart
There was a time I was going through a crisis, because I felt I was wasting my short life doing nothing. I condemned the dreary hours of endless school where I sat in classes I didn't care about, getting things that didn't matter to me crammed down my throat, and then testing my ability to suck up by asking me questions that didn't represent the entire material. They were tests on test taking ability rather than on what I'd learned and remembered. And then I'd be released from those grey halls and tight classrooms, into the world with the environment in mind. But I wasn't allowed to be one with nature. My school obligations would strip me from my passions and send me home for homework because that was the right thing to do. It was the right path to suck up to teachers to pass classes to get into collages to get good jobs to earn money for dreams I'd never have time for. I realized I hated this life, and I was searching for all the goodness I could pack in on the side. I became rushed and busy, always on the move for something just around the corner to happiness.
This became my common way to approach time: squeeze in all the things that make my life worthwhile, around my dammed obligations. I cut out all the slow things in my life. I avoided long conversations with my family, and meditations to interpret my current state, because it wan't the small things that would save the world.
There became a right way to spend my time. If every moment wasn't action packed, I wasn't working hard enough. I looked around me and saw my peers doing the same thing, working towards their dreams, or following the paved path to get to their dreams. I saw parents always working and everyone constantly busy. It was my accepted normal. Busying the self was the way to get to a dream.
Then I looked into my family. I saw my mom. Slow and loving, and I felt anger towards her. She had so many dreams, and she put them aside to raise my family. She solely took my mentally different sister under her wing, and nurtured her with guided love even though it ate at her patience. She was inspiration to my other sister despite how it ate her away inside to see her so manipulative, and she let herself be manipulated because she loved my sister so much. She was my therapist skillfully deflecting my knife throwing, and she was always there for my dad, because he believed in her when she was temperarily blinded.
I became temporarily blinded. I saw what she sometimes saw. I didn't admire her ability to be so selfless. I hated the fact she was slowly fading, because in my mind she was the superhero of love, and she wasn't getting the self appriciation and challenge she needed. I heard her talk so passionately about the jobs she wanted to do, the projects she wanted to be embarking on. I wanted to see the proud glow alite in her eyes as she followed her dreams. She would put down all efforts to get to her dream to solve some obnoxious scuttle between my two sibling demons. I was convinced she was giving up her dream to her family.
I handled it the way I had trained myself to: pack in the things that I loved around the edges. I told her to cut out the B.S. and take time for herself to get her work done uninterrupted. I told her to put her dreams first.
But I didn't realize was telling her to turn her back on her true dream. I didn't realize I was telling her the very words that would make my mother cry. Her family was her dream. I didn't realize how huge this was, until I broke her heart. I told her she wasn't doing anything with her life. I've never seen a mother so passionately defensive, and I stepped back to look at where I'd read the wrong signs. I'd given her my advice, to follow my type of dream, but looking at my mother, she wasn't me. She'd given everything to my sisters and me because she loved us more than writing grants to schools she felt deserved it. Her password to her phone was my birthday. She carved out names into wet cement next to hers even when we weren't there. She always forgave us, regardless of if we had proved ourselves worthy because she loved even our imperfections in a way no one else did.
And I began an inner hatred to myself. For turning my back to someone who gave me her everything. I had always taken our family for granted, but her sweat and blood went into every aspect of what I considered normal. She created and guided my hand so selflessly I'd always assumed it was me. She'd love to watch as my pride grew and I had faith I could fly.
I can see her now, Outside in a sunny garden, and it isn't the completion of the project she is pursuing like it looks like from the outside. She is spending quality time with my family, pulling them from their consuming lives to step back and breathe. They would never know or thank her.
I can see now why is hurt her so much when I told her she wasn't doing anything with her life. Everyone sees love this way. In our society we are told to put our passions after our obligations. We pursue success, but not love.
My mother is exceptional because she never let her heart budge. I thought family was an obligation for her, and her dreams of work was her desired goal, but I was mistaken. I can now respect that she never let her dream go, and she is one of the rare people who have been holding it for nearly twenty years now.
Mom, I am sorry I lashed out at you for not following my dreams. I soppose I am envious of how you reached out and created what you wanted, and I haven't gotten there yet. I take back what I say about you wasting your life. You created a life of love, and I think that should be respected more of all. You know how to pull people from their busy lives to stop and smell the roses, and you know how to bring out the best in the most complex and guarded and defensive people. I know how tricky our family is, and once again, you are a love hero. You're heart flies as your flag, but only those who are looking can see it. I can see it now. Success isn't what I thought it was. Thank you for guiding me to realization.

Photos: Deborah Coleman Photography; Venue: Headlands Center for the Arts; Planner: Laurel Anderson of Esla Events; Gown: Vera Wang from Bridal Galleria; Hair and Makeup: PDArtistry; Groom's Attire: Indochino; Shoes: Christian Louboutin; Flowers: Studio Choo; Linens: La Tavola Linen; DJ: Spencer Sutherland; Cake: La Farine
Miranda and Rodney were married at Headlands Center for the Arts in Sausalito, Calif. on September 29. The bride looked flawless in a strapless tulle ball gown accented with a blush sash. Miranda topped off the romantic look with a long curly 'do and carried a bouquet of spray roses, a peachy pink cafe au lait dahlia, and fall foliage. Her best pals donned neutral tones in various fabrics and lengths. The groom and his men looked handsome in gray three-piece suits. The groom stood out from the crowd in a black bow tie, while his men opted for striped purple neck ties. He also sported a ranunculus, fall wildflowers, and plum-toned boutonniere. ""We really let the dramatic venue and the flowers take center stage at the wedding – they made up the bulk of our décor," Miranda described. Miranda and Rodney were married in front of 135 friends and family members. The ceremony was "community-oriented," as Miranda put it, and they asked their mothers and a friend to offer prayers and readings that were special to the couple. "I never thought I would have such fun during the ceremony," Miranda said. "But it was definitely the highlight of the day for me." A family-style dinner followed, where guests sat in wooden folding chairs at tables featuring floral centerpieces in antique silver vases and purple accent linens. Following dinner, guests enjoyed a night of dancing and watched a slideshow that featured photos of the bride and groom as infants up to that day! They indulged in a three tier cake adorned with roses. As a favor, guests received a half-pound bag of coffee from a local roaster. Miranda's favorite moment? "The most surreal and perfect moment was the raucous, sustained applause after we kissed." See the full board here.

Photos: Hilary Grace Photography; Event Planner: AK Event Design; Ceremony Venue: First Presbyterian Church of Dallas; Reception Venue: The Venue at 400 North Ervay; Floral Designer: Bonney Blooms
Leah and Eric were married in a traditional church ceremony at First Presbyterian followed by a reception at The Venue at 400 North Ervay in Dallas, Texas on March 22. The bride wore a strapless a-line wedding gown with all-over embroidered beading, accessorized with a fingertip-length veil, while the groom wore a black tuxedo, accessorized with a solid bow tie and pocket square. Bridesmaids wore a combination of short and long green chiffon dresses and carried bouquets of peonies, hydrangeas, and anemones. What could be cooler than cocktail hour on a rooftop deck in the heart of downtown? Guests enjoyed getting cozy on contemporary couches, accented with yellow and gray patterned decorative pillows and lit with geometric chandeliers. Since they both are wine distributors, it only made sense to subtly wove that theme into the decor. For example, escort cards were displayed on initialed corks, centerpieces were filled in wooden crates, and numbers were printed on bottles. In lieu of a guest book, well wishes were written on a selection of reds and whites for the newlyweds to open on future anniversaries. A three-tiered textured fondant and buttercream-frosted cake was served after dinner and in between dancing, but there was also a surprise! A mini chocolate cake for Eric. See the full board here.

DeYonne and Dorian were married at Katsuya by Starck in San Diego, Calif. last spring. The bride wore a sweetheart floral applique mermaid wedding gown, accessorized with a blue Christian Louboutins and pear-shaped earrings, while the groom wore a classic black suit, accessorized with a gray bow tie (and glasses!). Bridesmaids stood out in their red peplum dresses, and groomsmen added a pop of color to their vests and pants with yellow bow ties. Following the restaurant ceremony, guests enjoyed "Lovely Lychee" signature cocktails and were escorted to their tables decorated with striped linens, floating candles, and rose and billy ball centerpieces in silver vases.

Gina and Jonathan were married at J.Verno Studios in Pittsburgh, Penn. on September 13. "We wanted a very modern wedding that cut out traditions to make room for our personalities," Gina said. "We created a high-energy atmosphere from start to finish which also made the planning stress-free." The bride wore a ruched fit 'n' flare wedding gown, accessorized with her hair down in loose curls with a headband, while the groom wore a light gray three-piece suit, accessorized with a striped tie. Guests were greeted with the couple's name projected on an all-white wall. "I walked down the aisle to one of my favorite electronic songs," she said. "Jon met me halfway and escorted me the rest of the way." They even wrote their own vows! The reception was lit with crystal chandeliers, tables were decorated with gray linens and yellow hydrangea centerpieces, and "He" and "She" signs were displayed, where each one wrote what they loved about another. For entertainment, the "shoe game" was played, and during the first dance, the bridal party joined the newlyweds on the dance floor and put on glow-in-the-dark, flashing glasses. How fun!

Remember that post I did a short while back about the Messaging PSP Activation Kit?
Good! (If not, I'll give you a few minutes to click the above link and get up to speed).
In the spirit of a more predictable and frequent cadence of content updates to the kit, we kicked off 2012 with another refresh of this fantastic tool set for you.
The theme for this wave of updates can be best summed up as "Help customers experience the full benefit of Exchange 2010" and to make that possible we made two major additions:
- First, we are now featuring content and tools around complementary solutions from partners like TransVault (who offer tools to help get archived data into an Exchange 2010 archive), and AudioCodes (providers of gateways to enable Exchange Unified Messaging)
- Second, there are some new training resources to help you get boned up on technologies like Forefront. Great examples of this include videos on Information Protection and Control with Forefront Online Protection for Exchange (FOPE) and Exchange and Advanced Routing Scenarios with Forefront Online Protection for Exchange

"You need some of my magical crab soup, a cat nap, and maybe a cola bath." She pointed as she strode towards Sūraja.
"You need probably the softest bed in the joint and a massage to get those stress knots out," waving at Alicia.
"And you," Stopping in front out Petricia, noses almost touching as she looked the brunette eye to eye. "Need not to steal all my silverware or from any other guests that stay here. There is no safe or secretly hidden treasure box, so don't go looking. The name is Gemini McLane and I run this establishment." The girls looked after the lady as she entered the building before glancing at each other, following behind a sliver of a black tail.
"I also happen to run a small yet fairly popular restaurant called Double-Eye Diners. I expect, seeing as you are old Gestone's pickups that you work there in the morning, no later than 7 a.m. Deary me after what happened with Rosalind, he just can't sit there if a fellow fayri is in trouble! She only lost a finger! And it's not like she didn't grow it back the next morning!" McLane said this last part to no one in particular, sliding behind the front desk, going up to the key holder and picking 413.
"Fourth floor, east side, right hand corner. You each get your own beds (Green eyes, yes, you. Go for the one closest to the window, it's the fluffiest), a large drawer, and a bathroom with a tub."
"I expect a gold piece from each of you humans later tomorrow and depending on how well you work tomorrow morning, the price might go down the longer you stay. You, puma honey, can stay for free as long as you try not to bite my son, no matter how sweet of a rascal he his. "
The three blinked in complete confusion as the mouse eared innkeeper shooed them off. A golden key was pressed into Sūraja's hand, as McLane started going up the stairs behind the front desk to her own apartment.
"Welcome to Dreamaway Lodges, ladies, hope you enjoy your stay."
The girls followed her directions, heading towards the eastern wing on the fourth floor.

This is a cute, random, funny one shot that was cooked up by my sister RUMad so if you don't like it blame her lol, but if you do like it then I take 100 per cent of the responsibility.
Part of the Callie and Owen series.
The title is from Lilo and Stitch: ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind.
Jenny Gibbs sat on the park bench and couldn't help the smile that crossed her face; she was at peace something which she hadn't felt in years.
She watched her husband playing with the kids and their beloved dog Sam. She smiled as Gibbs lifted up their four year old daughter Callie and tickled her sides until her face went red and she begged for mercy meanwhile Owen was throwing Sam a tennis ball and praising the golden retriever when he would come back and give it to him.
Never would she had thought that when she'd walked into Morrow's office all those years ago and met the gruff no nonsense , ex-marine that was going to be her partner was she going to meet her soul mate, the love of her life and that with him she would have two beautiful children and a happy family.
But there she sat on the park bench watching the people she loved, she only wished she had the energy to join them but every time she felt like going over there and joining them did she feel a sharp kick and then remembered why she couldn't.
She was now seven month's pregnant with their third child, they had decided this time to wait to see what they were going to have as now they had one of each they wanted the third to be a surprise.
Gently Jenny began to rub small circles on her stomach in an attempt to calm the baby down, it was definitely more active than Callie and Owen had been, but then all her children were different, Owen was quiet and shy at times but was also brave whereas Callie had a big mouth but also a sweet and loving nature, so maybe this child would be really into sports.
"You ok?" Asked a deep familiar voice as they approached her, Jenny looked up and smiled at her husband.
"I'm fine, just thinking" she gave him another smile as he sat down on the bench beside her, Gibbs let her rest her head on his shoulder before placing a kiss to her hair and resting a hand on her stomach, Sam's lead in his other hand with the dog attached. Sam sat by Jenny's feet and looked out at his surroundings.
Meanwhile they watched as Owen ran off towards the jungle gym and Callie raced after him holding Fred the bear tightly under her arm.
"You happy?" Jenny asked her husband as she turned to face him and admired his handsome face.
Gibbs turned to face her, his blue eyes met her green "Very" He mumbled before leaning over and giving her a kiss.
When they pulled away Gibbs noticed his wife grimace "Everything ok?" He asked his face ridged with concern.
"I'm fine" Jenny assured him giving him a weak smile "The babies moving a lot that's all" she stated trying to get comfy on the bench once more.
"You need to settle down little one" Gibbs began to talk to his wife's pregnant belly. He had always been a firm believer of the foetus hearing the parent's voice's as it developed "Mamma needs some rest" he continued making Jenny smile.
"Mmm" Jenny grinned tiredly "Do you think the sugar rush from the ice-cream had worn off by now?" she asked, beginning to feel the cold nip at her and was in a desperate need of a nap.
"If it hasn't I'm sure they'll crash soon enough" Gibbs suggested "I'll get them you stay here until I get back" Gibbs pressed a kiss to his wife's forehead.
"Like I could move anywhere anyway" Jenny stated with a grin gesturing to her large stomach.
Gibbs smiled at her once more before turning to the dog "Come on Sam" he pulled on the lead a little but and the dog got up and followed him over to the jungle gym.
"Callie, Owen, It's time to go" Gibbs called to his two children.
"Coming" Owen yelled climbing down from where he had been swinging and Callie soon followed her brother.
Jenny stood from the bench, bringing her hand to her back for support when she saw Gibbs coming back with the kids. "Mummy" Callie ran to her mother and hugged her, being careful of the bump like her father had told her. "Owen can climb really high on the jungle gym" she grinned as she skipped happily back to the car with the rest of her family in tow.
Gibbs made sure everyone was buckled in before pulling away from the park, they drove home in silence, Jenny gazed out of the window while Liam and Callie played the yellow car gam quietly, hitting one another If they saw a yellow car which had only been one or two times both of which Callie had seen first.
Once they pulled up at their home Gibbs went and unlocked the door while Jenny helped Callie out of her seat, she saw the little girl turn to the seat in-between herself and Owen and then began to look around for something when she couldn't find it.
"What are you looking for sweetie?" Jenny asked slightly confused about what might be upsetting her daughter.
"I left Fred at the park" The girl said with tears strolling down her cheeks, she had never been without out that fluffy brown bear with his cute little grey and checked bow that Gibbs had gotten her the day she was born.
"What's going on?" Gibbs asked coming besides his wife when he heard crying, only to find Callie in hysterics and Jenny on the verge of tears as she lifted the girl out of the car and carried her inside and taking her into the lounge.
"She left Fred behind at the park" Jenny quickly explained as she set her little redhead down on the sofa.
"We'll go back in the morning and get him" Gibbs suggested, he hated seeing Callie upset, he knew that if one of the children were upset so was Jenny and it killed him.
But instead of making Callie feel better it only made her cry more into her mother's side. "I can't sleep without him" they heard her shaky voice through streams of tears.
"Oh Callie it's ok" Jenny soothed "We'll get him tomorrow, it's too late to get him now." she echoed her husband's words.
"Ohana" Callie grumbled lifting her head up.
"Oh boy" Owen face palmed knowing where his sister was going with this.
"Pardon?" Jenny asked looking confused at her daughter.
"Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind" The little girl stated.
"That is the last time we watch Lilo and Stitch" Owen yelled "Fred isn't part of the family" the boy protested.
"Yes he is, he's my bear and I love him!" Callie yelled back at her brother getting up from the sofa and getting ready to punch him if he said anything else about her bear.
"Fine" Gibbs interrupted "Owen and I will go back to the park and find him" Jenny always knew that Callie had Gibbs wrapped around her little finger and she thought the little redhead must know as well.
This made the girl smile "Pinky promise you'll bring him back" Callie held out her little finger.
"Promise" Gibbs wrapped his finger around hers and shook before pressing a kiss to her forehead. "Come on Owen" Gibbs pulled the eight year old out of the room before he could cause any more trouble. Callie ran to the window and watched as Gibbs and Owen got in the car and drove away.
"You want a hot chocolate Cal?" Jenny asked getting up from the sofa.
"With marshmallows?" she asked climbing down from the windowsill
Jenny grinned, she was a girl after her own heart "If you don't tell Owen or your dad"
"Deal" Callie followed her mother into the kitchen.
"Where do you think she left him?" Gibbs asked as he and Owen walked into the dark now abandoned park.
"I dunno, the swings?" the little boy shrugged his shoulders before following his dad with a torch, the only source of light they had.
The two Gibbs men headed for the swings but didn't have any luck, they then checked the roundabout and once again no sign of a bear "Looks like we're going to have to make a stop to the nearest Toys R Us" Gibbs stated with half a chuckle, knowing it would break both Callie and Jenny's hearts if they didn't find the beloved bear.
"Dad" Owen asked making Gibbs turn to face him.
"Yeah bud" Gibbs replied heading in the direction of the jungle gym.
"You know I'm gunna be a big brother again" the eight year old began.
"Yeah" Gibbs nodded.
"Are you gunna forget about me because I'm the oldest?" Owen asked looking at his shoes.
"Of course not" Gibbs pulled Owen into his side "No matter what, you are my man, you understand, you'll always be our special little guy and you're going to be the best big brother ever" he pressed a kiss to his forehead.
"Ok" Owen nodded, he'd heard stories from all of his friends about their parents not paying attention to them when they had another child "There's Fred" Owen stated shinning the torch to the top of the climbing frame and seeing Fred laying there on one of the bars.
Gibbs stood on his tip toes and grabbed the bear "Lets go home" he smiled to the boy as they turned to go back to the war with Fred securely under Gibbs's arm.
Callie was laying on Jenny's lap as she combed her fingers through her hair when they saw the head lights through the window.
The little girl hopped up from her place and ran to the door, just as she got there it opened to reveal Gibbs and Owen with Fred in Owen's arms.
"Fred" Callie grinned hugging the floppy brown bear to her chest and then placed a kiss on her dad's cheek and glared at Owen before skipping happily away still gripping the bear.
Jenny smiled at Callie and Owen before moving to Gibbs and kissing him. She loved her Ohana, she wouldn't trade them for anything.
The end.
Ok so kind of crap.
Fred belongs to my twin sister you can see him as the front cover to all of the Callie and Owen stories.
Please tell me if you want them to have another girl or boy and names.
Lastly please review.

Dealing with garbage while cruising
Reducing and re-using waste is a subject near and dear to my heart not only while cruising.
After seeing many people cruising the Bahamas towing their garbage in big black bags behind them in the dinghy,I would like to get an idea how others view this and what their solutions are or if they have even given it some thought.
1. Remove all un-necessary boxes & wrappings that are on the products.
2. As you barbacue use it to burn some of the waste paper. The reason we don't have burn barrels on work boats is because a burning barrel is one of the distress signals... So don't put out to much of a smoke signal if you can help it. And don't burn your fish or steaks either.:laugher
3. If you can't fit a trash compactor on your boat then do the can stomp dance to flatten those cans. Remove the labels from the cans before you sail and mark them with stencil pencils and log the stamped markings on the cans also.
Note: Removing un-necessary boxes & wrappings also reduces the chance of having vermin on board also.
Also don't use cardboard boxes to separate products. All you are doing is installing apartment housing for vermin. Use Plastic boxes or milk crates.
We place our trash in garbage bags and then, once they're full, throw them overboard. The trash usually floats for a while, as the air in the bags gives them some buoyancy. One time we had a whole string if 15 or so bags floating behind us row for as far as the eye could see of the Florida Keys! This was at dusk, with the sun illuminating each of the bulging white bags in a beautiful "S" on the horizon. Absolutely gorgeous sight.
One word of caution, however: if you choose to use this method, be sure to remove any papers with your boat's name or your name on them. Nobody wants a bunch of water cops telling you what you can and cannot do.
You aren't going to believe this, but my wife and I were left in the forest as young children by our parents. We walked around for days, trying to find our way back. My wife had left a trail of bread crumbs, but the ******* birds ate them so we got good and lost. We found this old lady who lived in a house made of candy... very weird. The old bitch tried to throw us in her ******* oven! ONe of those too-weird-not-to-be-true stories...
Unless he put any of his diapers in the bags...then the trail of dead fish is usually easier to follow, since the trash bags spontaneously combust.. .
You need to dispose of your trash propoerly by throwing it in an approved Telstar 28. Be green and keep all the trash together... that's our motto. If you cannot find a Telstar near you, PM me and I will give you SD's address to overnight your garbage.
On a more serious note, we never had a roach problem with cardboard, but we did not use a lot of it. We did always crush our cans. We tried to avoid plastic things where possible, but always used plastic baggies where needed and a lot of the reuseable containers which work great for the boat. We threw our food items overboard (fish love em), but the trash still has a way of starting to stink. That is why we used plastic garbage bags. Paper bags really did not work for us - though we always carry one or two in case of glass breakage. We kept our trash (tightly sealed) in the lazarette. The trick is to try and rinse as much of the stuff that might stink off as we could.
You must be pulling my p..... No true sailor throws rubbish into the sea any more surely. You brought it out then take it back to land with you. Cut out as much disposable junk and other packing as you can.
[QUOTE=Cruisingdad;477826]I cannot believe I just read that!!! That is completely illegal and you know it!!!
It would appear that he meant it to be "tongue in cheek".
The part about the old lady in the forest and the oven certainly seems true thoughhttp://www.sailnet.com/forums/images/smilies/laugher.gif

An Indian Catholic priest is believed to have been crucified by Isis on Good Friday.
There were fears of the Islamist group's intention to kill Tom Uzhunnalil, who was believed have been kidnapped, after rumours circulated online suggesting he may be crucified around the holy festival.
Mr Uzhunnalil is believed to have been taken from a retirement home in Yemen during an attack by Islamic extremists on 4 March.
The group shot 16 people - including four nuns - during the incident at the home in Aden, which is run by missionaries, the International Business Times India said.
The execution of the priest by the same method the Romans used to kill Jesus – an event marked by Christians around the world on Good Friday – was confirmed at the Easter Vigil Mass by Cardinal Christoph Schonborn of Vienna.
There has been no confirmation from the Indian Government of the execution.
A religious group based in South Africa, the Franciscan Sisters of Siessen, claimed in a Facebook post they had been informed the priest was being tortured and Isis planned his crucifixion on Good Friday. The post has now been deleted.
The missionaries at the home were reported to have been subject to numerous threats but had refused to leave.

A handwritten account of the incident from a nun who was at the home at the time, published on Christian website Aleteian, claims five young Ethiopian Christian men ran to the sisters to tell them Isis militants were coming to kill them.
It describes the brutal killing of many people at the home, and also appears to confirm Father Uzhannalil's kidnap.
"A neighbour saw them put Father Tom in their car. They did not find a trace of Father anywhere," it saidReuse content
