<div class="p1"><b>Hire a Personal Injury Attorney for Auto and Truck Accidents</b></div><div class="p2"><b></b></div><div class="p1">Many people believe that if they are injured in an accident that they will not need a personal injury attorney as long as they carry auto insurance. They assume that their auto insurance guarantees that their losses will be covered. This is unfortunately not the case in many auto and truck accidents.</div><div class="p2"><br />
</div><div class="p1">Insurance companies are ran like any other business. Ultimately, the primary goal of all business, non-profits excluded, is to make money. When a claim for compensation is filed with an insurance company, the claim is reviewed to see if the reported losses are covered under the policy held by the driver. If there is any way to deny the claim or issue reduced compensation, the insurance company will.</div><div class="p2"><br />
</div><div class="p1">Victims of truck and auto accidents often just accept the ruling of the insurance company. These companies would like their clients to believe that there is no appeals process for the injured to turn to when they despite a claims denial or the dollar amount of their reimbursement. Victims of truck and auto accidents often receive no or reduced compensation for their injuries as a result. A personal injury attorney can help victims of auto and truck accidents get the compensation they deserve for their injuries.</div><div class="p1"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">By Dr. Jeffrey Lant<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Author's program note. If you are lucky in the blog which sent you this article, a well oiled and eye-catching picture of bodybuilder Albert Arroyo accompanies the text. If you don't have it, go to any search engine to find pictures of this now notorious x-Boston, Massachusetts fire fighter. You will have no trouble finding plenty; for Albert was a man born for the camera... and pumping iron videos, too. You'll find that the photographic and video documentation is substantial... our Albert loved the lime light and applause... Now he's bombarded with more of it than he ever dreamed of or bargained for. Sadly it's all negative. As for the title of this article, "Why was he born so beautiful?..." this is a tune sung by raucous soccer lads. I have been unable to find a reference to it in search engines; composer and date of composition are likewise unknown. That's unfortunate for it's a very peppy little number, equal portions of condescension, bombast, and insult.<span> </span>Matey Brits love it... and so do university students who drop into this song at a moment's notice.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Here's how it happened...<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">For Boston firefighter Albert Arroyo, March and April<span> </span>2008 were ostensibly rough months. He reported falling on March 21 and suffering a back injury so severe that, a few weeks later, his doctor wrote that Arroyo should be granted an accidental disability retirement because he is "totally and permanently disabled". <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Yet, on May 3, after being out of work for six weeks and collecting his full salary tax- free, Arroyo achieved a significant feat. He finished eighth in a men's bodybuilding competition, the 2008 Pro Natural American Championships.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">By late May, Boston fire commissioner Roderick J. Fraser, Jr. learned of Arroyo's strict training regimen and his record as a competitive bodybuilder. Fraser urged the Boston Retirement Board to deny the application.Then in July, 2008, the Boston Fire Department shifted Arroyo, then 46, from injured leave to regular sick leave, which is taxable, after its chief medical officer determined that any injury was not work-related.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">A very public black eye for Boston and its pampered firefighters.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The story about Albert Arroyo could scarcely have come at a less felicitous time for Boston firefighters.<span> </span>In mid-April 2008, a federal grand jury issued scores of subpoenas to Boston firefighters as part of a criminal investigation into years of questionable disability injury claims by retired and active firefighters of all ranks. Arthur Arroyo became the poster child of a sleaze-ridden system that over and over again granted pension disability payments to those who by no means qualified for them. It was a Boston scandal; one which seemed to be endemic to every mayoral administration, business as usual for all. This was especially true of Local 718, Boston Firefighters. It was a union marked by fraud, chronic cheating, and flagrant favoritism and mismanagement. The citizens of Boston, already hard-pressed by the great recession of those years, erupted in an avalanche of anger, outrage and (because of Arroyo's bodybuilding, wearing little more than a smile) caustic humor, deadly and accurate. Long overdue reforms were a must and the Arroyo case helped insure they were started.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Fire commissioner Roderick J. Fraser, Jr., the man in the middle.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Fraser was relatively new (2006) to his important job. Fraser, a former naval officer, met fierce resistance from the Boston Firefighters Union in his strenuous effort to change the culture in a department long dominated by the union. Firefighters of every rank, except the commissioner, belong to the same union, and until Fraser arrived, commissioners had always risen through the ranks.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Arroyo's application for a disability pension came as the department was roiled by embarrassing disclosures about questionable injury claims.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">In January 2008, the (Boston) Globe reported that in the 6 previous years, 102 Boston firefighters has been granted enhanced disability pensions because their career-ending injuries occurred while they were temporarily filling in for superiors and being paid at the higher pay grade The additional cost to the city from paying those pensions at the higher grades will be about $25 million. When this figure was disclosed, citizens screamed again -- and this time hitherto timorous political leaders decided to act. Again the (nearly naked) figure of Arroyo, now universally known throughout the metropolis, was a factor... he and his case were completely understandable... and when they understood citizens screamed bloody murder at the previously recalcitrant and hesitant city officials. This time these officials acted... and one of their first captures was Albert Arroyo. The man who<span> </span>previously could waste a day or two deciding just how small his posing strap should be, highlighting by judicious selection,<span> </span>now had real problems... the feds charged him with applying for a $65,000 a year fraudulent tax-free, accidental-disability retirement benefits package. If proven, the charge could send Arroyo away for up to twenty years, ironically the very length of his service as a firefighter. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Trial underway now.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The trial is now underway in Bean Town.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Having a good basic knowledge of how the law works is important for every citizen of the great Republic. Every citizen is in this sense a repository of what the law is and how it functions. If you're such a citizen, congratulations. You are doing your great task as a citizen. Such people, now jurors,<span> </span>are even now reviewing Arroyo's robust, healthy lifestyle since he claimed to be disabled of playing baseball, shopping, dining out, visiting a tanning salon and taking out-of-state trips. They will seek to show by pointing to each thing he did which as a disabled person he should not have done; that his disability was bogus, a fraud from first to last.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The defense has a more difficult task. They must show that while Arroyo was disabled<span> </span>for certain things (like inspecting buildings for the Fire Department) he was most assuredly not disabled for others (like playing baseball... and competing in high stress, high stakes male bodybuilding competitions). Their's then will be a defence of slicing carefully and hoping they can get the jury to buy into what could be a defence that does not defend.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Good and lasting effects of this fraudulent Boston firefighter pension business.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">1) Local 718 Boston Firefighters Union got a wake-up call. Your job is not to protect people who lie, deceive, make-up in order to get a significant pension. Your job is to protect the public by making sure only the best firefighters are selected... and bad firemen are not rewarded but sacked.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">2) If you're the doctor Arroyo went to first to certify his disability (that would be Dr. John<span> </span>F. Mahoney, Dorchester neurologist) ask yourself why you didn't see anything odd in the perfectly buff, symmetrical and sculpted patient before you that was requesting disability. Some think you never met Albert Arroyo at all... or if, when<span> </span>you did, you didn't bother to actually look at him. Of course now you're scrambling to show that<span> </span>you really did examine the man, really.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">3) If you're Fire Commissioner Roderick J. Fraser, Jr., watch out.... In Boston if you're on the right side of the wrong issue the long knives await you... and for gouging<span> </span>this sacred cow,they definitely want to snuff you. Beware.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">And as for Arthur Arroyo, you most assuredly will never get that $65,000 tax-free each year... and a trip to the pokey is likely. There you can practice your posing to your heart's content. Just don't drop any soap in the shower.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>By Dr. Jeffrey Lant</b><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Friend, have you got a blog yet? If not, you are not falling behind, you ARE behind. You see, a blog is a critical tool for making money online, whether you are selling products or need to raise donations for your not-for-profit organization.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">What is a blog?<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">A blog is a conversation between you and your customers and donors. It enables you to present your message clearly, precisely, with the unfiltered emphasis solely on what you want these folks to know and do. When you blog, you call the shots and determine just what you want people to know and just when you want them to know it.<span> </span>When you blog no one can intervene in what<span> </span>you say or how you say it. It is 100% you, 100% of the time. The trick is knowing how to use this incredible communications device and power for maximum results.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Non-Profit organizations and the blog.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">If you're running any kind of not-for-profit organization establishing a blog and using it to educate your supporters and donors is a must, especially now when the world is going through a particularly bad economic patch and many of your donors may be cutting back on the gifts which are essential for you doing your important work. When such periods occur (as they regularly do) you need to be even sharper about how to raise money... and your blog is an absolutely essential tool for doing so.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Donors want to know where their money goes.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">If you want donors to keep giving to your organization, then you must tell them just what you need the money for... and inform them as you spend it. Blogs are ideal for this.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Say you're in the business of providing services to the elderly.<span> </span>Without a blog you are very limited in your ability to inform your donors. With a blog, the sky's the limit.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Your blog should contain<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">1) precisely what you are doing.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">2) why it's necessary.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">3) what you would like to be able to do.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">4) how much that would cost.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">For not-for-profit organizations a blog becomes a way to talk simultaneously about the results you're getting... and the crucial tasks you could undertake if you had more funds.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Here's the formula:<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">1) We have raised (dollar amount).<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">2) With it we are doing (specific activities).<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">3) We need to raise (amount).<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">4) Which will enable us to do (more specific activities).<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Making your blog really interesting.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Blogs that work are blogs that are interesting. Here's how you ensure that your blog captivates readers and keeps them coming back.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">1) Focus on key people in your organization. Let donors see the people who are using the money they've given. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">2) Provide donor testimonials. People who are considering donating will like to hear what<span> </span>others are doing and why.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">3) Feature the people who are benefiting from your service. They can provide valuable information about what you've done and how it helps.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Develop<span> </span>a "wish list".<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Every non-profit organization on earth knows it could accomplish more if it had more funds. Use your blog to talk about what you'd like to do... and what it will cost to do it. Break down major projects into do-able bits... projects should never be seen as too big and too complicated. Big projects should be divided into stages.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Your wish list needs to be carefully considered and presented. It should always be clear, understandable and capable of being achieved day by day, donor by donor.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Have a "we wished" list.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Here's something you've never heard before: don't just talk about what you want to accomplish. Talk about items which have been on your wish list.... but which are now accomplished fact. When you talk about such items, thank lavishly. Who helped you achieve this beneficial thing... who gave money... who gave time... who volunteered, reached out, helped? Talking about the "we wished"<span> </span>items gives you the chance to give the gift of recognition.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Bring crucial information to your supporters and donors.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Part of your job is to provide continuing, in-depth information on the problem your organization addresses. To do this keep your eyes open and keep searching for timely, pertinent information.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">When you see an article that pertains to what you're doing; when an important new study comes out; when there's new information from the government, let your audience know.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">You can do so either by emailiing the details or, better, simply by emailng the link to the information with a brief introduction on why you're sending this. Remember: any chance you have to constructively interact with your supporters must and should be taken... this is how long-term, productive relationships are born and develop.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>Share the good news... and the bad.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Remember, a blog used properly is the basis for an infinite number of<span> </span>long-term relationships. Such relationships must be honest, candid, real. This is especially true when things are bad. Open up to your supporters about what happened and why... and what you're doing -- right now -- to solve the problem. Believe me, I know how difficult opening up to your supporters in this way will be; you want to be perceived as "superperson"... but you're not. You're just a human, like everyone else, doing the best you can day by day, needing the help of other humans to achieve the objectives. This doesn't mean turning your blog into a psychiatrist's couch... it does mean being open with your supporters.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">How often should you communicate with your supporters, donors, friends and well- wishers?<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">As often as necessary; whenever you have something important to say to them; whenever a word from you makes sense and can strengthen the relationship. In other words regularly, frequently.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">How to write the best blog, in the least time.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Every organization needs a blog-meister, someone who is responsible for ensuring that the blog goes out regularly, consistently packed with all the details that you want readers to know. To achieve this result, delegate as much as possible.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">1) If you're the sole person in your business or organization, write your blog a few minutes every day. The rest of the day, brainstorm items you want in your blog... and keep them in your important "blog idea file." In other words, when you're not actually writing your blog, you're thinking about it.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">2) Ask others in your organization to help. Ask the person who's in charge of a new product to write up a blog post that tells why the product is important... what it does... why it's necessary, etc.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">3) Ask the individual who's in charge of an important project to write an article about how things are going... and what needs to be done to keep things rolling along.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">4) Ask an active volunteer to write a blurb on why she's so active... with a view to enthusing readers to tell you they want to help, too.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">5) Use pictures and graphics to make your blog more visually appealing.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">One more thing: be sure to contact me and let me know how this article and its detailed recommendations have helped you. I'd really like to know.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">By Dr. Jeffrey Lant<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Author's program note. The other day when my helper Mr. Aime Joseph and I were at the Shaw's Market in Cambridge, you know the one up Massachusetts Avenue at Porter Square, I felt a thought being<span> </span>implanted in my head, or rather it was more like some kind of brain wave zapped one of the thousands and thousands of subjects I have in my brain's computer. All of a sudden I had a sharp pang that leads to something that one hadn't planned to buy being put in my shopping cart, to swell the profits of Shaw's... and the company producing the product in question. This time the wave zapping me said, "Skippy Peanut Butter.... Crunchy."<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">It was the work of a moment to change my direction and return to the aisle where lived Skippy and its dogged competitors Jiff, Peter Pan, and nowadays some examples of what I call "designer foods," in this case expensive peanut butters made to cater to the tastes of a few people with capacious pocketbooks.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I had the craving. I did what the craving told me to do ("Buy Skippy's."), and I had Mr. Joseph take me straight home where, in a minute or two, I was doing something else that craving phenomenon ordered me to do: "Eat some. At once. Be happy." I did as I was bid.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">"Peanut Butter" by The Marathons.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">In 1961, the group called The Vibrations was in the curious position of having two concurrent hits under different names . As The Vibrations (Afircan-American soul vocal group) from Los :Angeles) they released "The Watusi." I remember it well...<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Then with a few lineup changes the group hit<span> </span>again, this time under the name of The Marathons with their catchy little number "Peanut Butter". It's this song I'm using as the background sound for today's article. Start by going to any search engine. Then go find your blue suede shoes and that absolutely necessary hair oil for that essential young punk<span> </span>"do" that says, "I'm hot... and so cool. Eat your heart out."<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Here's a sampling of the lyrics:<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">"Well there's a food goin round that's a sticky sticky goo (Peanut, Peanut Butter) Oh well it tastes so good but it's so hard to chew (Peanut, Peanut Butter.)<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Believe me, it's lots better when you hear it, though it is a song that when played in the soda shoppe after school produces wry looks and<span> </span>consternation. You see, it's too slow... and you can't dance to. it<span> </span>But it's just right to eat peanut butter by... but secretly. Cool kids ate peanut butter... but<span> </span>never at school<span> </span>and<span> </span>never from a lunch box. I, of course, didn't know this until long after high school. Typical! Life is much simpler now...<span> </span>when all I have to do is buy it... and eat it. I think you'd agree.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">What is peanut butter?<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Peanut butter is a food paste primarily made from ground dry roasted peanuts. It's popular in North America, Netherlands, United Kingdom,<span> </span>and parts of Asia particularly The Philippines. It is mainly used as a sandwich spread, sometimes in combination as in the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The United States and China are the leading exporters of peanut butter.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">History of peanut butter.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Peanuts are native to the tropics of the Americas and natives have been mashing them into a pasty substance for hundreds of years. The Aztecs, people of discernment, fancied peanut butter's first versions. Purists will argue that there is a difference between peanut paste and peanut butter... but the people waiting for one or the other will not stand silently by until learned folk resolve the matter. When they want their peanut butter, they want it now. Still what are experts for if not to quibble?... Eat your peanut butter first; when you've had your fill there will be time enough to hear what they've discovered.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Food <span> </span>historians (yes, there are such people graced by the mandatory Ph.D.) believe peoples like the Aztecs did not have smooth peanut butter; they had not yet so advanced (another good reason for their eradication by Spain); instead they had the precursor, peanut paste. The difference? Peanut paste is pure roasted peanuts. It is is harder to work with than regular peanut butter and had more of an unadulterated, somewhat bitter taste.<span> </span>People still ate it up... no doubt enjoying every bit.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Fast forward to George Washington Carver (1864-1943) and the many folks who learned so much from this great, great man. Now people began to experiment with their peanut concoctions... purists were not happy (purists never are)... but with additives like sugar and molasses there was no telling where these new flavors would take the humble peanut. And as Professor Carver rose, so did these peanut fanciers.<span> </span>One man even took<span> </span>his love affair with the peanut and what you could do with it as far as the White House where as President Jimmy Carter he<span> </span>presided from1980-1984.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">As soon as scientists like Carver had their say, canny entrepreneurs entered the scene to have theirs. What they liked was not so much the sweetness of the peanut butter... but the even sweeter sound of money.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Evidence of peanut butter as it is known today came in U.S. Patent 306,727 issued in 1884 to Marcellus Gilmore Edson of Montreal, Quebec. It covered the finished product in the process of milling roasted peanuts between heated surfaces until the peanuts entered "a fluid or semi-fluid" state. As the peanut butter cooled, it set into what Edson explained as being "a consistency like that of butter, lard, or ointment." Edson's patent is based on the preparation of a peanut<span> </span>paste as an intermediate to the production of peanut candies. While Edson's patent does not describe the modern confection we know as peanut butter, it does show the initial steps necessary for the production of peanut butter.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">More<span> </span>importantly the celebrated J.H. Kellogg,<span> </span>of breakfast cereal fame, and his brother W.K. Kellogg invented their own early version of peanut butter in 1895 and 1897 with U.S. Patent 580,787 for their "Process of Preparing Nutmeal," which produced a "pasty adhesive substance" they called "nut-butter".<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

And so Skippy grew. This is why I didn't reach for Jiff or Peter Pan or the designer brands, wonderful though may be... I reached instead, as if by<span> </span>instinct, for Skippy, as I have done for a lifetime. It is always Skippy for me, chunky at that.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Thus,<span> </span>although I go for long stretches without any peanut butter at all, my lifelong loyalty and (a lifetime of buying) is what made conglomerate Best Foods acquire Skippy in 1955.

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">People who make money online know that the list is the business and the business is the list. Do you know this and are you focusing your expertise, time and money in developing that all important list? Or are you focusing on such inessential factors as the colors used on your website, your domain name, how many business cards you should order, etc? All such questions collectively do not have the<span> </span>importance and significance of this single query: what did you do today, yesterday, the day before yesterday and the day before that to build the list, the list that is the business and from whence all your profits will derive, now and forever?<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

People who know what marketing is, have important marketing experience, and know what marketing they must know and do daily. Sadly, the wannabees have absolutely none of these things and their lack is both obvious and fatal. You cannot succeed in business online (or off for that matter) with only rudimentary marketing skills, hoping that that will be enough. It won't be. A thorough practical knowledge of reality-based marketing is essential. You proceed at your peril without it.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Or if they're not they have solved that problem by hiring someone who is. Thus, your question is this: can I write the necessary copy that gets prospects to stop in their tracks, pay attention, peruse the offer and product details, and act? Merely "thinking" you can write such copy is just not good enough. Would you go sailing in a leaky boat? Then don't deceive yourself here either. Excellent copywriting skills are a must.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">By Dr. Jeffrey Lant<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Author's program note. This is a fish story... a big fish story... the story of<span> </span>two different Asian carp species who have already wiped out the competition down river from the Windy City and now mean to seize Chicago and swim north to capture the Great Lakes. It's the story of what happens when man changes his environment without understanding the consequences (or, worse, knowing the consequences but going ahead anyway). And it is a story of our sneaking admiration for the... fish... who can outsmart us, the great poobahs of the planet.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">For this story, then, I selected the song called "High Hopes", recorded by Frank Sinatra in 1959. With music written by Jimmy Van Heusen and lyrics by Sammy Cahn, it was introduced in the 1959 film "A Hole in the Head". It was nominated for a Grammy and won an Oscar for Best Original Song at the 32nd Academy Awards.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">It's a tune about tenacity, persistence, grit and unbeatability... all things the carp have got to spare.... but which we humans often lack, too often taking the easy path... dozing through the crises around us.<span> </span>You can find this number in any search engine. Go now, listen up and get in the "can do" mood. And if you find the version Sinatra recorded for John F. Kennedy's campaign in 1960, give a listen. It's a classic piece of Americana.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">How the carp got here.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The first thing you need to know about this story is that we did it to ourselves. Yep. Imagine you are a friendly, law-abiding carp. You're living somewhere in Asia and life is good. You've got all the plankton you want... and you've got the respect of all the other denizens in the water ways you have populated and control. You're the boss.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Then one day in the 1980s you find yourself captured by some hoodlum who's sold you and your captured buddies to a bunch of Southern U.S. municipal wastewater treatment facilities. Your job: to control algae growth in aquaculture. Disgusting. You're forced to do this job, this really dirty job, and you do... biding your time until you can escape to freedom and cleaner water.<span> </span>Then one day when the humans who are supposed to keep you in captivity aren't looking you... break out... and start swimming north! And along the way you reproduce like crazy.<span> </span>By the time the schleppers at the wastewater plant have figured out what you're doing, you are already a significant river presence, a fact to be reckoned with... and you're having the time of your life, reproducing faster than ever.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Facts about silver carp.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The silver carp is a species of freshwater cyprinid fish, a variety of Asian carp native to north and northeast Asia. It is cultivated in China. Pound for pound, more silver carp are produced worldwide in aquaculture than any other species. It has been introduced to, or spread into via connected waterways, at least 88 countries worldwide. The most common reason for importation was for use in aquaculture, but enhancement of wild fisheries and water quality control were also important reasons for importation.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">These facts are important, of course, but what's really important is this:<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">1) These carp are BIG, whoppers. Their average weight is 30-40 pounds, but it is not uncommon to find some weighing up to 110 pounds.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">2) They can leap 10 feet in the air, thereby presenting substantial hazards for people fishing from boats. And you must never water ski in areas known to be inhabited by silver carp and bighead carp. That would be most foolhardy.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">3) These carp are voracious eaters and in short order deprive native fishes of the nutrients they require while eating up to 20% of their body weight each day.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">4) They are difficult to catch. Silver carp are filter feeders; this is what makes them difficult to catch on a typical hook and line gear. Special methods have been developed to catch these fish, the most important being the "suspension method" usually consisting of a large dough ball that disintegrates slowly, surrounded by a nest of tiny hooks that are embedded in the bait.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">5) Silver carp feeding on certain species of blue-green algae, notably the often toxic Microcystis, can pass through the gut of silver carp unharmed, and pick up nutrients while in the gut. Thus, in some cases blue-green algae blooms have been<span> </span>exacerbated by silver carp... and the carp are therefore hazardous to eat.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Now this resourceful adversary, so far successful in all its endeavors, wants to seize Chicago and move into the greatest hunting area on earth, the Great Lakes, where, by the shores of Gitche Gumee, By the shining Big-Sea-Water, Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,<span> </span>Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Thus did America's great Victorian poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in "The Song of Hiawatha" (1855) write of Lake Superior, now a target for the silver carp and a prime reason why at this very moment in August 2011 deeply concerned humans are racing to raise defences which must hold,<span> </span>or the fish will triumph.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The carp must take the Chicago Waterway System to reach their goal... and we must make sure they cannot seize<span> </span>it.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The manmade Chicago Waterway System connects the Great Lakes to the Illinois River, which then connects to the Mississippi River. Both sides know the pivotal battle will be fought here. Each side controls a major part of the puzzle. The silver and bighead carp have overwhelmed the Mississippi River network; humans still own the Great Lakes.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The carp have numbers and time on their side. They also know that they can sacrifice as many of their species as necessary to win; they will produce as many as required. Above all, they know this: that their human adversaries must keep EVERY invasive carp out of the Great Lakes... while the carp have only to get ONE carp into the Great Lakes to seize the first lake, then all the lakes, and change the environment forever, turning it to their exclusive advantage and wrecking havoc on the ecology existing now. The stakes could hardly be higher.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">That is why today, on a perfect summer's day for fishing, crews will instead be straining muscle and mind to stop these brazen invaders, already too close for comfort. They will be using electric jolts to stun fish, sweeping the waterway with half-mile-long nets, and sampling and resampling Lake Calumet and the Calumet River.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">What the folks at the Asian Carp Regional Coordinating Council (which keeps a detailed daily blog on the subject) find so troubling is this: DNA from silver carp has already been found in 11 samples in the lake and river in July.<span> </span>The US Army Corps of Engineers announced July 22 that it had found additional samples containing DNA from silver carp. Experts cannot say from the sampling whether live fish are already in the lake or if genetic material came from dead fish or was carried into the lake from bilge water. The sampling, of course, continues... and chary professionals remind us no final verdict on the matter is yet possible.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">But for me, my money's on the fish. They have outsmarted us at every turn, with every current in the great river system they now control. They have destroyed an immemorial eco-system, snuffing out every native variety of fish, destroying, too, boating, fishing, and travel businesses along the way, replacing lucrative native fisheries with their own flesh, worth so much less on the open market.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">They insist that nothing, absolutely nothing, will pause their onrushing vehemence. Against such a determined adversary, have we the grit and commitment necessary to win... or are we just going through the paces, already defeated? These dog days of August will determine all. Like I said, I'm betting on the fish. They've got the high hopes.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">By Dr. Jeffrey Lant<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">It is a pleasure to have this opportunity to spend some time with you and provide the detailed step-by-step information you must have to get the attention of the people on your list and get them to respond -- and rain well deserved compliments on you and your notable blog work.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Let's dig right in; there's lots of ground to cover.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">1)<span> </span>The purpose of blog articles.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Know much about space travel? Here's a crucial part that astronauts pay a lot of attention to: the heat shields that protect a space capsule returning to earth. Without these shields the capsule and the passengers within would be fried. The same thing happens when you mail ad copy and nothing but ad copy to your lists. Recipients will get plenty angry plenty fast. They want more from you than just ads, and if they don't get it, the unsubscribe link is near at hand.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Blog copy is essential because it keeps subscribers on your list by giving them a good reason for staying on your list. In short, like those heat<span> </span>shields, this copy protects the list and keeps it whole, growing, profitable.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">2) Don't publish random articles. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Give your articles increased weight and importance by creating them as part of an ongoing series. When you write good copy, copy of substance and value, people not only want to read it... but they want more, lots more, from you, a person whose articles and opinion they come to respect.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">3) Number each article and announce that number along with each article. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">As I write (August 6, 2011), this is my 312 article in the series. You want people to know that, not least because they will want to find and profit from the other articles in the series, all the other articles. Furthermore, as your list of articles grows, so will your reputation and perceived standing. In short, you will be an authority, a commentator of renown and repute.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">4) Write your blog articles to a certain length, and stick to it.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">My daily blog articles (which I produce free for blog owners worldwide) are all approximately 1500 words in length. That is three single-spaced pages. This length gives you ample space to develop an article on any given theme. It is also a convenient length for readers, not too long or demanding; crucial features in our time-pressed days. Once you have developed your format, you will soon start thinking in terms of your available space and will find it easier and easier the more you write to conceive and write articles of that length.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">5) Always search for and brainstorm new article subjects.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I am on a dizzing blog article creation pace: one 1,500 word blog article per day. This is a challenging schedule for even the most experienced writers. That means I need 365 article subjects per year, challenging indeed.<span> </span>But even if you decide to write just one blog article per week, you'll need 52 subjects to write about, nothing to take for granted.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">When you write blog articles, you are always and forever in the business of finding hot new article subjects. To start, get<span> </span>the major metropolitan newspaper from your area; (for me that's The Boston Globe)... and a pair of scissors. Now sit down and review this newspaper with a new eye; an eye that's seeking interesting, timely, readers-will-love-this subjects. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Make time to cut these articles from the publication. Don't fall behind with this crucial task. In my case, I review and cut out three times a week, more if at all possible.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Keep a good pair of sharp scissors at hand. Look at each article in each edition to see whether an article on that theme or subject would fit your blog. If so, cut at once and make sure to date everything you cut out. That's a must.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Then deposit what you've found in a large drawer...<span> </span>this is the article subject compost heap and it is essential. In it you will find subjects you will surely want to write about... and subjects you're watching, to write about at some future date. Cut liberally; you can be sure one day you will have no subject readily at<span> </span>hand. Having all these ideas will then pirove very useful indeed.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">6) Select the next subject you'll write about, gather the information you need to do so.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The creation of articles of substance, articles that draw continual kudos from your readers, is a direct result of knowing where to look for the information you need. The better you become at this necessary task, the better articles you will produce and the faster your reputation grows, too.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Start by doing a search at any search engine (I prefer Google) to see what<span> </span>information is available. Where you are writing an article about a breaking news item, don't just check the available information, also pay close attention to the time the most recent material was posted (e.g. "7 hours ago"). This is essential for keeping what you write ahead of the news cycle. For timely articles, this skill is required.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Then visit the Wikipedia. The Wikipedia is one of the most ingenious and necessary tools ever invented. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't use it, finding and printing the invaluable information I absolutely must have do my work... one aspect of which is studding my articles with the facts therein so amply provided. This source is crucial.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">You will also need to visit the websites of article providers such as Associated Press, Reuter's, Bloomberg, etc. They are a terrific source of article subjects and timely data.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">7) Brainstorm articles.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">You and your lifetime of education and experience are also valuable sources for articles. Keep a pad at the ready, or an Internet file, where ALL possible article subjects can be listed. Never, ever rely on forgetful memory for such subjects. Write them down at once.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">8) Set a precise date for finishing all articles.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I write and blog my articles daily. I have a precise time of the day when the deadline for the next article MUST be met: 8 a.m. Eastern time. To do this I find all the data I'l need the day before and review it before bed time. Then I am awake and drafting, editing, then finalizing the day's article by 3 a.m. Eastern time; that is not a misprint! I have found the silent hours of the (usually) uninterrupted night the very best time to write, not least because I am wide awake and full of beans at that<span> </span>time. You'll find the schedule most suitable for you; set it, adhere to it religiously.<span> </span>You will find if you do that your brain and body will be willing to work at that time, and that is a great benefit.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">9) Keep individual files for every article you write.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">These files should contain all the printed information sources for this subject as well as all your notes and each draft. Everything pertaining to this article (including the compliments readers email you) must be kept, not least because you may very well decide to write follow-up and related articles for which current data will be most helpful.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Last words.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Blogging is the future of the Internet; that is absolutely clear. And for blogging to work, and your list to be protected, superior blog<span> </span>copy is a must. Now you know how to produce it.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

I'm spilling the beans right here.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />
By Dr. Jeffrey Lant<br />
<br />
Author's program note. Because today, August 1, 2011, is such a happy day, I wanted something suitably grand and festive to accompany this article; the kind of music that makes you want to jump up, throw up the sash on your window and, at the top of your voice, shout "Huzzah!", because you want the rest of the too weary and downtrodden world to be as excited as you are. I've found that music.<br />
<br />
It's a royal German military march called "Hohenfriedberger marsch", and you'll find it in any search engine. Go get it now and let one of the most soaring of marches lift your spirits and put you in the right frame of mind to develop your own online empire into a place where such grandeur is an everyday event... and where you do so well your generosity of heart, mind and spirit match mine on this anniversary day.<br />
<br />
Over the last 17 years online, I have talked to literally thousands of people who have begged, wheedled and pleaded with me to reveal the "secret" of Internet success. It is now my pleasure to tell you, tell all, withholding nothing.<br />
<br />
1) Never say "How do I make money online?". Say instead, "How can I help my customers achieve what they want?"<br />
<br />
People who succeed online make a fetish of helping people. They know that if you give enough people what they want... you will surely and most assuredly get what you want.<br />
<br />
This sounds easy enough, doesn't it? A piece of cake. However, you must never underestimate the powerful pull of human ego, selfishness, and self- destructive avarice. In short, humans find it difficult to focus on others, rather than themselves. Yet it is and will always be these others who control your ability to get rich online.<br />
<br />
I tell my marketing students "Your money is in their pockets," the "their" being your customers. The only way to get it out is by completely changing your focus from yourself to.... them.<br />
<br />
Cautionary note: Like everyone reading this article, you will pledge your online operations to complete customer centeredness... and for a day or two you will be an empathetic paragon. Then imperceptibly you will slide back into the inveterate selfishness that condemns so many Internet entrepreneurs to humiliating, unnecessary failure. Remember: humans are born selfish, but it is only the customer-centered who succeed. Post this message so that you never forget, for to the extent you do is the extent to which you'll undercut and block your own success.<br />
<br />
2) Make it easy for your customers to connect with you.<br />
<br />
We live in an age of true communication marvels with a myriad of ways to connect, connect fast, connect now. The problem is, we don't use them properly, rather infuriating customers by misusing these tools, or, worse, not using them at all... so that the age of instant contact becomes instead the age of thwarted contact. Are you one of the culprits?<br />
<br />
First, review each and every means you have for people connecting with you, including email, telephone, fax, etc., etc.<br />
<br />
Then review them as if you were the customer. Look at how you use them. When you use them. Even whether you use them.<br />
<br />
Are you a customer enabler... or are you a customer frustrater and avoider? You'll SAY that you are doing everything humanly possible to expedite and improve customer contact and communication. But in all likelihood you're not. The only way you're going to know is by acting like a customer, ascertaining just how easy (or difficult) you've made things. You're likely to be amazed at the maze and obstacles you've erected to frustrate customer relations. As soon as you know, re-arrange things so that you don't just THINK you are customer-centered, but actually are.<br />
<br />
3) Make an offer... then make a better offer.<br />
<br />
To make money, give things away. To make more money, give more things away.<br />
<br />
The richest people online are those who give the most away. They spend their days not just creating and discovering useful new products and services. That's necessary and essential for success... but it isn't the key variable. That key variable is the extras, the special offer you're going to give customers for acting NOW! In other words, the all-important offer.<br />
<br />
Now hear this: OFFERS are what get people to buy now... thus, the better the offer, the faster the sale. It's as simple as that. So, let's see what you're doing now and whether the offers you're making will take you to the financial destiny you desire.<br />
<br />
First, are you making any offers at all? You'd be surprised at how many entrepreneurs have a "take it or leave it" attitude about what they're selling... punctuated with this killer proposition: "what I'm selling is so good, it sells itself." This is one of the most foolish of propositions. Nothing, absolutely nothing, sells itself. But if you don't have a special enticing, motivating offer with what you're selling then you've cooked your own goose. Immediate re-thinking is necessary.<br />
<br />
If you're making some kind of offer, good for you. At least, you've got you r foot on the right road. Now let's see whether you've got what it takes to move ahead. Review your offer in the light of what your competitors are doing, easy enough on the Web. If what you're offering to induce immediate sale is only as good as (or less than) what your competitors are offering... then you've got a serious problem... and you need some serious action at once.<br />
<br />
The offer you make, the offer that delivers the sales and the cash, must be demonstrably better than anything offered by anyone... and the customer must be able to see this at a glance....<br />
<br />
4) Create a customer-centered blog and use it daily.<br />
<br />
Over the last 17 years online there has been one astonishing development after another. One of the most important is the creation and development of blogging; it's a device that every successful Internet entrepreneur understands and uses daily, the better to achieve more substantial success.<br />
<br />
You will succeed online only to the extent you understand blogging and blog daily. Let's start by helping you understand why it's so important. A blog gives you the opportunity to send out advertisements daily, without risking your list as people do who email ads and nothing but ads. Your blog is anchored by useful articles and information. These client-centered articles and information protect the integrity of your list. So long as your ads are accompanied by this useful content, you can email your list regularly. Sending ads alone cannot achieve the desired objective; instead you'll list will dwindle into insignificance.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the game.<br />
<br />
Successful online entrepreneurs know they've participating in the greatest game of our time, a game that delivers customers and customer sales 24 hours a day and can turn even the smallest home business into an unstoppable cash cow. And isn't that just what you want?<br />
<br />
Don't wait another minute to get started. Put a smile on your face and set about the task before you, making liberal reference to these recommendations. It's the way to ensue 17 years of success online, as I've had, with many more successful years after that.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">By Dr. Jeffrey Lant<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Author's program note. I didn't have to think twice about the music to accompany this important article. It's "Friendship" recorded in 1940 by Judy Garland and Johnny Mercer. You'll find it in any search engine. Go now. When you find it, give a<span> </span>listen. It's a peppy little number, touched by American corniness and with a special message for wartime: we're in this together.<span> </span>And not just in war, either.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The well-lived life is a series of absolutely essential relationships... parents to child, sibling to sibling, spouse to spouse... and business partner to business partner. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Luck, of course, the kismet that erratically injects itself into the business of living, is a always an<span> </span>unpredictable factor... but so is the ability to seize that opportunity when it knocks... and to grow it into your personal empire. This is<span> </span>the story of one particular man who when serendipity came, seized it with gratitude and enthusiasm, riding it for a lifetime of security, profit, and, yes, affection, the plus perfect beneficiary of partnership, its care and maintenance.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">"A fairy tale."<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">My 87-year-old father, a lifetime of business success under his belt, one day startled me with his description of my nearly 20 year relationship with:Sandi Hunter and George Kosch. "It's a fairy tale," he said. "That's what it is." What he meant was that this was a relationship which, on the surface, was improbable, even unlikely; but which once existing one could never imagine being without. Let me tell you how it happened...<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">One day nearly 20 years go, the telephone rang in my Cambridge, Massachusetts office. It was George Kosch. This call was the result of a crucial business marketing insight and tactic: always make it easy for your customers to find you and connect with you. I was, I believe, the first author in the history of authors to include follow-up details (and a catalog, no less) in every copy of every book I wrote; (to date there have been 18 such). Such vital, business-building details were also included with every article as well as with the usual business marketing communications. They were also, and powerfully, supplied to the world each time I went on radio, television, and ultimately the 'net. Over time this constant infusion of total follow-up information provided a fruitful critical mass that resulted in a constant stream of leads... and lucrative, fortune-building business.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">George was one of the many people who responded... and responded... and responded. For I was that most normal and prosaic of prospects: the one who wasn't paying much attention to what the marketer was trying so hard to get me to see. Like all prospects, when George The Marketer rang my phone (as, remember, he had been invited to do in one of my books) I had other fish to fry, other places to go, other people to meet. Now from a distance of 20 years (and everything therein) I shudder when I think of how nearly life might have been so very different. Here the "what if's" surface...<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">What if he hadn't bought the book?<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">What if he hadn't read it?<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">What if he hadn't believed my invitation to follow-up and so didn't do it?<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">What if he had not followed-up when I, already comfortable and with too much to do, didn't pay attention... since follow up was necessary and required to make the future happen?<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Faced by such questions, one at last, and perforce, comes to believe, no matter how rooted in rationalism you may be, in the power of kismet... what my father called the "fairy tale".<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">But George knew this about marketing: that if you have carefully selected your prospect... and you are sure of the benefits you can deliver... then, to get the benefits you want, you must try and try again to induce your prospect to stop! Pay attention! Get enthused! And, finally, desire what you wish him to desire. And George did just that, introducing me to a subject I knew nothing about... which was to become the basis for the remainder of my life. George Kosch, then as now, was a visionary... far ahead of everyday reality.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I didn't know it, although it is to my credit that I quickly came to see, but I was firmly rooted in the past... while he was a link to the future. I had made a fortune from publishing books, specialized card-deck advertising, and from the laborious, fatiguing and very lucrative lecture circuit which at its height saw me lecturing on a regular basis at nearly 30 colleges and universities and at one professional association after another. It was a grueling pace. George offered something better: he offered the future... and no man can ever be offered a better, more compelling gift.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">"The Offer".<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">George snagged my attention finally and for good when he offered me, via his electronic bulletin board, the opportunity to bring my popular business columns (which appeared in both print and in my nationally syndicated radio program) to a wider audience. I didn't need to be offered twice. Here's why...<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">In those days, these bulletin boards were wildly popular. From our vantage point with the glorious Web in place, it may be difficult for some to conjure up their attraction, but it was substantial. I remember one never-to-be-forgotten dinner party I attended where every guest, posting messages throughout dinner, kept jumping up to see all the avalanche of responses which just kept pouring in. It was rude, of course... but it was undeniably exciting and eye-opening. George Kosch offered a way into The Way Things Would Be, Like It Or Not!<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I so liked it, and was so intrigued, that I flew to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada... because, by then, I had an inkling that in this unlikely place, with its uncongenial temperatures, my future was to be found... and I was right.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">There at the airport, young, good looking, friendly, curious of course about their guest, were George Kosch and Sandi Hunter. I can see this moment sharply in my mind's eye. It was a meeting full of possibilities which became, through careful stages, probabilities... then certainties. I have been a student of humanity since the day my eyes first opened on the human comedy... here I found two of the best. The first impression was impressive; nothing that has happened since has done anything but improve it. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The three of us promptly decided on a partnership which I think I may safely say has proven so beneficial to us all -- and the world we have served. Here are some of the reasons why it works so well:<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">1) We each have our fields of expertise and so defer to<span> </span>the experts in their area. George takes care of the technology he knows so well; Sandi is an expert in Web design and handles all the myriad "back office" and customer service details. There her deft touch, efficiency, organization and, above all, kindness are put to the test daily. She never fails. I remain what I have always been, the marketing man, the creator of endless blog copy.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">2) We say less<span> </span>than we know. A<span> </span>successful relationship is predicated upon empathy, discretion, a carefully nurtured ability to know what to say, how and when to say it. It means giving up the often destructive luxury of saying anything that comes to mind. This is what the young and careless do, thinking they are honest, when they are simply immature. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">3) We value the others and say so. We are, they from Ontario, me from Illinois, by heritage reserved. But that only make our words, when given, the more affecting. We make it a point to remember... for it easy to take for granted that which must always be recalled and celebrated. We do not take each other for granted.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">4) Above all else, we are there for each other. I have never had to struggle to make these fine people adhere to any undertaking; they have never had to remind me to do something promised. Lifelong relationships flourish because the people<span> </span>involved do what they say they are going to do... their word indeed their bond.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">With such people, success, while never inevitable, is likely... and so it has been.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Which is why, soon to be 65, I embrace each day with unbridled enthusiasm... for I know that I am making the next portion of the great adventure of my life with just the right people. When you find yours, grab on to them as if your life depends on it, for it does...<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">by Dr. Jeffrey Lant<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">It all sounded so good.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Incredible earnings potential!<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Work at home!<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Big profits in your spare time!<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Yours, all yours, if<span> </span>you only recruit a few family members and friends... who would then recruit a few family members and friends... who would then recruit a few family members and friends.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Easy! Get started today! Just pay a monthly fee and stockpile a few "they sell themselves"" products... and all those eye-popping benefits (and the money you so need) would be yours.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately...<span> </span>it all went wrong, so terribly wrong and in such a short time, too.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">No money!<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">No snug business producing guaranteed extra income!<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">And family members and friends angry at you for involving and misleading them, with collateral damage for years to come.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">What went wrong?<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">"Warm marketing" is the culprit!<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Consider any company you know from major household brand names to local "mom and pop" operations. Do these companies reply on their family and friends to prosper? Certainly not. In fact, the question is absurd. These enterprises, every one of these enterprises, relies on the quality of their goods and customer service -- and their own never-ending marketing efforts -- to attract people to their stores and develop long-term relationships.<span> </span>If you asked such business owners if they were relying on their family and friends to get by, they'd dismiss the notion in a minute as ludicrous.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">And so should you!<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Why "warm marketing" doesn't work<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Warm marketing is based on the proposition that people know people and that by everyone doing a little bit of presentation and recruitment, everyone benefits. Nice idea.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately, it has as many holes as swiss cheese.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The premise of "warm marketing" is that people will buy whatever you're selling because they know you, and you ask them. By contrast, in real businesses people buy not because of their personal connection, but because of their need for the product, the eye-catching selection of what you have available, and the particular motivating offer you're making. Selling to their parents and best friends is most assuredly NOT the basis of their success!!!<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">So, who benefits from "warm marketing" then?<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The parent company -- and no one else.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Does the opportunity charge you a fee for joining and/or a monthly "membership" fee. Bingo! They're making money off you.... even if you never make a penny.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Does the opportunity require that you buy a certain amount of product every month? Bingo! They're making money off of you ... even if you never make a penny.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Does the opportunity require that you maintain a certain level of sales to get paid? Bingo! They're making money off of you ... even if you never make a penny.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Let's be very clear: their objective is to make a profit for the company. Whether you make one or not is never their concern.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">What companies relying on "warm marketing" never offer<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">ALL businesses, warm or otherwise, need a steady flow of prospect leads. Regular companies master the art of lead generation early... or they go out of business fast.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Warm marketing companies don't spend a nickle instructing you on marketing mastery. No need!

Rediscovering William Whipple, New Hampshire patriot, signer of the Declaration of Independence.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />
By Dr. Jeffrey Lant<br />
<br />
Author's program note. I have found the perfect music to accompany this article. It is called "Washington's March". It is an elegant piece of 18th century music, balanced, refined, symmetrical, as suitable for a drawing room as for an afternoon's review of the troops.<br />
<br />
It reminds us that George Washington and all his officers were gentlemen born and bred, citizens of substance who undertook the pronounced hazard of revolution because that was the only way open to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." They risked everything...<br />
<br />
You can find this tune in any search engine. It appears as part of a splendid collection entitled "Music of the American Revolution: The Birth of Liberty." Sadly the composer of "Washington's March" is unknown. He deserves recognition, too...<br />
<br />
Steps to glory... or the gallows.<br />
<br />
It is important to remember one thing about history: at the time it is actually occurring only God Himself knows the outcome. No person present can do anything more than speculate on what may happen. You must remember this, for the people you encounter in this article were each and every one making the most bold, audacious and rash decision of their lives when, on August 2, 1776 most of the delegates to the Second Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia in the Pennsylvania State House (now Independence Hall), signed the Declaration of Independence. William Whipple, one of the three representatives from New Hampshire, signed that day. We can imagine the scene...<br />
<br />
Every man present, as his turn came to sign, would have had, must have had a moment of the utmost sobriety, even dread. He would have thought of the terrible risk he was taking to bring forth the new nation. His mind would have touched on the people he loved.... the people who loved and trusted him. As he moved up in the queue he could so clearly see the beloved aspects of his life, each and every one of them, now with his own signature in the most perilous danger.<br />
<br />
But though there had to be profound reflections and profound anxiety, there was in that place, on that date, emanating from each man present and all the citizens there represented, a deep certainty that what they were doing was profoundly right, proper and necessary.... and as they took pen in hand, they wrote their names, if not so grandiloquently as John Hancock, yet with the same ringing belief...<br />
<br />
They did this for liberty! For freedom! For the chance of some happiness in the shortness of life. And, most of all, to create a nation which would provide a living model, where the good of all would always be the goal, not the good of a few. They stood for a new way of governing men and arranging their affairs... they stood for a nation they insisted be great!<br />
<br />
Thus did William Whipple, in sober reflection and invoking God's will be done, sign the most important document in the short history of mankind, and, thus committed, did he resolve to strive, to turn brilliant rhetoric into vital reality.<br />
<br />
About William Whipple, Jr., born January 14, 1730.<br />
<br />
Whipple was born in Kittery, Maine, now famous for its many factory-outlet stores. He went to the sea, like so many Mainers, having studied in the common school the essentials necessary to become a merchant. He became a Ship's Master by the age of twenty-three, and in 1759 moved to Portsmouth, New Hampshire where he established a merchant partnership with his brother. In either 1770 or 1771 (the record is unclear) he married his first cousin Katherine Moffat; they must have been in love, and adamant, for such matches between those so closely related were not recommended. But, of course, without documentation, we can only speculate and may thereby deduce the wrong conclusion.<br />
<br />
The people's choice.<br />
<br />
In 1775 Whipple, a well-established businessman of 45, was elected to represent his town at the Provincial Congress. In 1776 New Hampshire dissolved the Royal government and reorganized with a House of Representatives and an Executive Council. Whipple became a Council member, and a member of the Committee of Safety, and was elected to the Continental Congress, serving through 1779. There he was one of a group of men who worked hard, staying out of sight, achieving results, letting others take the credit. He was chairman of the marine, foreign relations and quartermaster committees and served on the committee which gathered intelligence on the British. Such a committee at such a time goes only to the most trusted of men.<br />
<br />
While still in Congress, Whipple was appointed one of two brigadiers general; John Stark got the other appointment. The appointment came at a time of the utmost danger. The Americans had evacuated vital Fort Ticonderoga, the British having then taken it over. From this key strategic position, General "Gentleman Johnny" Burgoyne meant to wreck havoc. General Whipple meant to ensure he didn't.<br />
<br />
Burgoyne was everything Whipple was not: a braggart, popinjay, condescending man who believed the Americans were there for one reason and one reason only: to provide him a step ladder to wealth, deference, renown. Whipple just got on with the job of defeating the man who never dreamt his defeat was possible. The result was the pivotal Battle of Saratoga, where the Americans not only defeated Burgoyne (thereby motivating France and Spain to enter the war on the side of the insurgents) but ended the Gentleman's vainglorious career. He never had another military command; Whipple did. Appropriately, Whipple was accorded the honor of being one of the two American representatives assigned to working out the terms of capitulation. A victorious Burgoyne would have been contemptuous and insulting on such an occasion. Whipple handled the situation quite differently, although all knew how important the victory just obtained.<br />
<br />
One more anecdote about Whipple at this time must be told. Like many officers Whipple had slaves; one in particular, named Prince, went to the war with his master. Before an engagement expected to be difficult, Whipple freed him upon Prince saying that he could only fight for freedom if he himself were free. Whipple felt the full force of this unanswerable argument, and made Prince a free man on the spot.<br />
<br />
Whipple's career both during and after the Revolution flourished, despite the fact that his health was uncertain, his heart weak. It because of this heart that he died. As Associate Justice of the Superior Court of New Hampshire he was required to ride circuit. One day while doing so, he fainted and fell from his horse to his death. Right up to the last moment of life, he worked for the good of the people, quietly, resolutely, obscurely, dying November 28, 1785.<br />
<br />
Long overdue.<br />
<br />
When it came for his tombstone to be made, his reserve served him poorly. Not even the fact that he had signed the great Declaration was mentioned. Now at last, for him and for 11 other signers, belated recognition has come. This year small bronze plaques will be added to their tombs. It's little enough and that overdue, for those who gave so much to create and maintain our Great Republic, now imperiled by lesser folk who not only do not know Whipple's work and legacy, but are doing everything they can to undo it.<br />

By Dr. Jeffrey Lant<br />
<br />
Author's program note: Eleanor Roosevelt was, at once, one of the most admired and one of the most reviled women of the twentieth century. You either loved her or you hated her. That's what happens when you set out to improve the world... and do. A lot of people aren't going to like it...<br />
<br />
That's why, when I went in search of music for this article, I knew it might be tricky finding just the right sound. But it wasn't. A friend recommended Anastacia's tune "Paid My Dues" (released 2001). You'll find it in any search engine.<br />
<br />
First listen for the beat; then listen for the lyrics.<br />
<br />
"You can say what you want about me Wanna do what you want to me But you can not stop me."<br />
<br />
This was very much the case with Mrs. Roosevelt. And she had unquestionably paid her dues...<br />
<br />
How the subject came up.<br />
<br />
Most every Saturday I spend some quality time with my now 86 year old father. He's in California, I'm in Massachusetts so our conversations are on the telephone. I've been urging him to get a webcam so we can benefit from the visual, but he keeps telling me that would be too hard. He's wrong, but obstinate; for now we adhere to the phone.<br />
<br />
Our conversations cover any aspect or subject in the lives of two active men, his and mine. Some are profoundly serious, others comical, hilarious as jokes from long ago are trotted out to be reprised and laughed at again. At the end of these conversations, we both feel good; at least I do.<br />
<br />
A few months ago in the middle of one such conversation, he casually said, "Did I ever tell you about my visit with Eleanor Roosevelt?" Then the bombshell. "It was the most important day of my life."<br />
<br />
I was staggered on two accounts, first that I had never heard of this matter before and second that he regarded the visit so importantly. Of course, I couldn't wait to hear the details...<br />
<br />
It was the summer of 1944.<br />
<br />
By the summer of 1944, it was clear the Axis powers had lost the war, but it was not quite clear that the Allies had won it. That's why the total focus needed to deliver victory had to be maintained. And so every aspect of life at that time was touched by the war. It was total war, totally consuming.<br />
<br />
My father was a candidate for the navy's officer training program. However, when taking the physical it was discovered that he had a heart murmur. He was ordered to go to the navy hospital in San Diego for further tests. Thus, he found himself billeted in the Fine Arts Gallery and History Museum, Balboa Park. This was a facility for 1,200 patients, space very much at a premium.<br />
<br />
One day a message was circulated by the commander that Mrs. Roosevelt would be paying an official visit shortly. He ordered all able bodied and ambulatory personnel to attend. He, of course, wanted to make the best possible impression on the President's wife and key advisor. But some of the "boys" in hospital were determined they wouldn't help. Their remarks were often rude, vulgar, immature; often directed at a woman who, it was true, was plain to a degree and who was thus made the butt of many crude, ungracious comments.<br />
<br />
Many of these comments criticized her for not staying at home in the White House to serve tea and cookies to visiting dignitaries. These reflected the views of their fathers who were outspoken about the woman who did too much gadding about, interfering in other people's business.<br />
<br />
My father felt differently. He admired her "pluck" as he called it and was looking forward to seeing this world figure and hearing what she had to say.<br />
<br />
When my father arrived in the Spreckles Organ Pavilion Mrs. Roosevelt, dressed in uniform, was already on stage. Right on time she started the program, greeted the audience and took questions from those nearest the stage. In an instant the crude comments and insults of just moments before stopped. There was that about the lady that turned ruffians into rapt listeners and gentlemen. You didn't know this though until you were with her. Then you knew it, for life; it was her secret and it came in very helpful in the demanding life she fashioned for herself. She knew how to put people at ease and make friends.<br />
<br />
After a time and as it was one of the picture-perfect San Diego days, she suggested to her hosts that they sit in the shade under the trees. Most of the audience left at that point, having, as they saw it, done their duty. But my father knew that this was the chance of a lifetime to be in the presence of History and learn. He followed Mrs. Roosevelt outside where the conversation was warm, personable, like family.<br />
<br />
She knew two important things about the "boys" surrounding her. She knew they were far away from home and lonely, and she knew they were not the best of correspondents. She also knew that their families missed them so and worried. She knew she could make a difference... and where she could, she would.<br />
<br />
Thus, as she talked to the young men, she took down, with a gold pencil, their names and addresses and promised to send word to their parents. She looked you in the eye, my father recalled, when asking for the details... and no one at that moment saw a plain woman; instead they felt the radiance of her personality and her humanity. She was a good, caring soul... and they all knew it.<br />
<br />
I'd like to tell you that my father gave Mrs. Roosevelt his particular details, including the name and address of his parents; I'd like to tell you that he had framed her letter to his mother, my grandmother, and that he was giving it to me, because he knew I would take good care of it. But I can't...<br />
<br />
Instead he shyly watched as others, one by one, gave the information she requested.... until at last the aides who guarded her schedule (and her strength) let it be known it was time to move on. The farewells were brief, friendly, warm handshakes... and that smile instantly recognizable to a world which admired and counted on her.<br />
<br />
At that moment my father kicked himself for not giving Mrs. Roosevelt his particulars since, as good as her word, she did write astonished parents, who instantly wrote their offspring and told all the neighbors and every one of their startled relations.<br />
<br />
My father was chagrined but he made the best of it. He became a regular reader of Mrs. Roosevelt's six-day-a-week syndicated newspaper column "My Day". Written from 1935 to 1962, it is still eminently readable today. He also made the pilgrimage to Vall-Kill (as I later did), the only home she ever owned and the only home of any First Lady to become a National Historic Site.<br />
<br />
It was at Vall-Kill she said, "The greatest thing I have learned is how good it is to come home again." This is why my sprawling Saturday conversations with my father will continue, for these are the conversations of home, and we each have more to reveal to each other... <br />

If you're like millions of people worldwide, you're engaged in the often frustrating, discouraging and disheartening hunt for a job. I'm here to help, especially if you've just graduated from college and you're trying like the dickens to grab that first job.</span></div><div style="font-size: 13px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />

The tune is "You know you want me! (Calle Ocho) " by rapper Pitbull, recorded in 2009. You'll find it in any search engine. When you do, play it a couple of times. And I mean play it! And dance it! </span></div><div style="font-size: 13px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />

Because isn't that what the entire process is about: getting the all-important employer to say these magic words to you... so that you can reciprocate the favor by saying "You know I want you!", the mutual "I do's" commencing the perfect relationship.</span></div><div style="font-size: 13px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />

But you're wrong. You have a job; it's looking for paid employment.

They're unbathed... undressed... and hence unsuccessful. But this is hardly surprising. Yo! Get some self-respect and dress for business... the way your successful competitors are doing and which you most probably are not.</span></div><div style="font-size: 13px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />

Remember, looking for a job currently is your job. Thus, after you've finished the usual morning tasks (including donning appropriate threads), leave your abode for your "office". </span></div><div style="font-size: 13px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />

Close the door. Open the door, then march to your desk, ready, willing and able to get started. You might think this exercise foolish and unnecessary, but it's not. With it, you are signaling your brain that you are in the "work zone". This means complete and total focus on the job hunt; no long gossipy conversations with your buddies; no old films either, or "just a few" video games.</span></div><div style="font-size: 13px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />

This includes name, title, street address, city, state/province, zip/postal code. Also, phone number, fax, email address, etc.. And, importantly, notes on your contacts.

This means concentrating on results, results, demonstrated results. This puts the focus of your resume where it needs to be: on what the employer wants, not on you.</span></div><div style="font-size: 13px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />

Wrong again. It was, is, and always will be precious, important third-person validation. You were awarded this degree because of proven results.</span></div><div style="font-size: 13px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />

Good. You're ahead of 90% of college graduates. Tell your prospective employer, because in moments of desperation and exasperation he's been known to utter some abrasive home truths on the communications errors his current employees are making, embarrassing him and the company while perplexing and irritating customers. Show him you're different.</span></div><div style="font-size: 13px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />

Do you make commitments and keep commitments? Or do you say one thing, and do something quite different? Your new employer is quite qualified to show you what he wants from you; but now he wants reassurance that you're worth the time and trouble. Got good habits? Then flaunt them. Remember, "You know you want these..."</span></div><div style="font-size: 13px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />

Be at least 15 minutes early. Bring extra copies of your resume, work samples where appropriate, copies of letters of recommendation , extra business cards, etc. Put a smile on your face, even though you may be nervous and anxious. While waiting read the company's brochure. And you'll really make a good impression if you print the company's website and underline the areas where you could make a constructive difference.

Dead at 27, July 23, 2011.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />
By Dr. Jeffrey Lant<br />
<br />
Amy Jade Winehouse was exactly the woman your mother was terrified you'd become... and nagged at you to avoid. She covered her body with old-time sailor tattoos... had a beehive style hair-do that looked like it was construction art... popped pills like juju beans... drank like a fish and then became a "bad drunk"... found men, let them abuse her, then ditched them... to do it all over again. And, if this were not enough, she experimented with every drug her international contacts could get her... then went through some more.<br />
<br />
Yeah, she was a mess alright... but there was one redeeming grace... and that was the lady had talent... and an outsized personality that enabled her to showcase her works... and (when she was at her best) wow the folks... while changing the outmoded verities in the musical world... where she was a seismic force smoking out hypocrisies, superficialities, and any hint of silly sweetness. She was authentic to her fingertips... and that made a lot of people -- including mothers with young girls -- plenty nervous.<br />
<br />
Now this volcanic force is dead, aged just 27, and we are left to wonder at why she gave up everything she loved -- including her very life -- to feed her destructive passions. A good place to look for clues is in her prize-winning 2007 tune "Rehab". Go to any search engine now. Play the song once or twice, and pay particular attention to the lyrics... "They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'." And then the kicker we all knew to be true, "Yeah, I'm outta control." She was right... and it was the tragedy of her life.<br />
<br />
She did what she wanted... with whom she wanted... where she wanted.. when she wanted. She knew what was acceptable behavior... she ignored it to achieve who she was. If that upset others, too bad. Her need to behave in ways you found selfish, reprehensible, ridiculous made her maddeningly impossible to be around; you never knew what was coming next... because she never knew what she'd be doing next. It was an exhausting way to live.... and no one knew it better than she did and in moments of clarity she screamed for help "I don't ever wanna drink again". But she did drink... and smoke... and shoot up... and inhale... engaging in every form of abuse she could think of, devise or learn from her cadre of fellow travelers, each going to hell in their own fashion....<br />
<br />
But through it all there was the music and the talent that produced it. And if we must condemn her, let us do so for this reason: that she abused her talent, wasted her talent, insulted her talent, and treated her talent with contempt, with every injection risking it, threatening it, threatening all. For this she deserves the strongest possible condemnation...<br />
<br />
.... Amy Winehouse knew this. But as time went on, it didn't matter anymore... she knew she was on the road to oblivion. "Can you blame me for being a slave to my passion?" Yes, most assuredly we can... because her passion was not ingestion and self abuse (though it seemed so)... her passion was the music she created... the sound she shaped... the impacting words... these things were her passion and she squandered these with too little remorse and regret. Damn her.<br />
<br />
The beginning.<br />
<br />
Winehouse was born September 14, 1983 in the Southgate area of north London to a Jewish family whose inclination to jazz later influenced her work. She was the younger of two children (older brother Alex) of Mitchell Winehouse, taxi driver, and Janis Winehouse (nee Seaton), pharmacist. Mitchell often sang Frank Sinatra songs to young Amy, who took to a constant habit of singing to the point that teachers found it difficult keeping her quiet in class. Even then it was clear she had talent... Like other young artists there were many false starts... she got her first guitar at 13 and began writing music a year later. She also began working at this time, for openers a showbiz journalist for the World Entertainment News Network, also singing with a local group the Bolsha Band.<br />
<br />
But her passion was the all-girl groups of the '60's, particularly The Ronettes, her favorite; it's where she got her "instantly recognizable" beehive hair-do and Cleopatra make-up.<br />
<br />
Break-through.<br />
<br />
Just 20, her debut album "Frank" was released October 20, 2003. Produced mainly by Salaam Remi, many songs were influenced by jazz and, apart from two covers, every song was co-written by Winehouse. The reviews were good and brought comparisons to Macy Gray and Sarah Vaughan. In due course, "Frank" garnered a host of awards and honors... and reached platinum sales levels. The little Jewish girl from north London had her foot on the ladder... but as usual did it her way. Instead of engaging in the usual puffery, she said of this album she was just "80 percent" behind it. Her producers fumed... but the world smiled; here was a person who told the (often inconvenient) truths... and we all liked her better.<br />
<br />
International success.<br />
<br />
In these days, Winehouse was a prodigious worker, an artist who never tolerated the second rate in herself, or anyone else. She knew what she wanted from herself... and from you. "Back to Black" was the result, released in the U.K. October 30, 2006. It became the best-selling U.K. album in 2007, selling a staggering 1.85 million copies over the year. The money guys heard the clink of coin... and were willing to tolerate Winehouse's often eccentric behavior because she delivered the bucks.<br />
<br />
The most influential song on this album was "Rehab". "Time" magazine called it the "Best Song" of 2007. Interviewer Josh Tyrangiel praised Winehouse for her confidence, saying "What she is is mouthy, funny, sultry, and quite possibly crazy," and "It's impossible not to be seduced by her originality." The world agreed; prizes and honors were showered upon her... and, of course, money, lots and lots of it. All she had to do was keep her demons under control. But who can promise so much, even with the entire world and its golden prizes at stake? She still had higher to fly... the farther to fall when her punishing descent began. Let's stay a little on the lady still ascending, for her fall is painful, distressing, the stuff of agony and dismay.<br />
<br />
In 2008 she won Grammy Awards in the categories for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for the single "Rehab," while her album "Back to Black" was nominated for Album of the Year and won Best Pop Vocal award. She was now well and truly at the top of the world... for an instant, until the contrary forces she had kept in balance, began pulling in opposite directions she could no longer control. Thus did mighty mayhem break loose... and Amy Winehouse lose her ascendancy in the world... and, far too soon, her life.<br />
<br />
She was drawn to, loved, married, dallied with and tolerated, all the wrong people... the weak men who pandered to her vices and abused her body, her weaknesses and kindness; the ones who fed her pills and substances of every kind which she never needed and was unable to resist. Thanks to the constant lurid tales in the tabloids, we all saw it. Hers was a tragedy occurring before our eyes, an irresistible inevitability which at last on July 23 bore its strange fruit. The scene was dirty, squalid, disgusting... with honors, awards, trophies strewn about the place, indicators that life was vanity, all vanity. Short, ironic, painful, pride abashed and all alone.<br />
<br />
So did Amy Winehouse kill herself, her talent and her many dreams... but she could not kill her music, rhythmic, honest to a fault, intriguing, bold. Here was the woman at her best... and now this best must stand against the ages, to remind us of her integrity and audacity, for she had these in abundance, and so should we remember her.<br />

By Dr. Jeffrey Lant<br />
<br />
These are the facts.<br />
<br />
Caylee Marie Anthony (born August 9, 2005) was last seen with her mother Casey on June 16, 2008 and was reported missing by her grandmother, Cindy Anthony, on July 15, 2008. Her skeletal remains were discovered in a wooded area near the family home on December 11, 2008. Casey Anthony was indicted on charges of first degree murder and pled not guilty.<br />
<br />
The prosecution sought the death penalty and the trial lasted for six weeks. On July 5, 2011, the jury found Casey Anthony not guilty of murder, aggravated child abuse, and aggravated manslaughter of a child, but guilty of four misdemeanor counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer. Anthony received a sentence of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine for each count. With credit for time served and good behavior, she was released on July 17, 2011, free to walk out of the courtroom and resume her life as an ordinary citizen. But the fact is since the eye of the media (lead by legal commentator Nancy Grace) came to focus on you and your predicament, you have ceased to be in fact the "ordinary citizen" you are in law.<br />
<br />
According to journalist Geraldo Rivera, you are the "most reviled acquitted defendant", even more so that O.J. Simpson or Michael Jackson. Rivera was also quoted on the Fox News Network as saying, "We feel she is a murderer who has escaped the death penalty" Public outrage was immediate and intense.<br />
<br />
You contributed to the mayhem by engaging in behaviors the public felt were inappropriate for a mother:<br />
<br />
Item: lying to detectives from the Orange County, Florida Sheriff's Department.<br />
<br />
Item: failing to report your child missing despite the fact you admitted you had not seen her for 31 days.<br />
<br />
Item: partying around the town both before your missing daughter was found... and, worse, after her decomposed body was discovered.<br />
<br />
Item: Having a tattoo reading "Bella Vita" (beautiful life) placed on your body just weeks after Caylee's death.<br />
<br />
The prosecution's case was based on who would benefit from Caylee's death... with the accusing finger firmly pointed at ... you! The media, which loves stories like yours that grab public attention and won't get go... tried and found you guilty... and you only aided and abetted these folks by your endless prevarications, deceits, deceptions and lies. In short order you were turned into a pleasure-seeking monster, cavorting on the grave of your innocent child, Caylee, who, quite simply, got in the way of your selfish, sybaritic life.<br />
<br />
The prosecutor thought their bird was cooked, when their expert maintained that you made 84 computer searches seeking detailed information about chloroform. (It was only later than this same "expert" admitted he was wrong; there had, in fact, only been a single such search. Still...<br />
<br />
Then the unthinkable occurred: you were found innocent on all counts, except for one which convicted you of lying to police officers. I saw your face on television at the moment the verdict was handed down; you wept... perhaps just for simple relief... perhaps because you thought that your ordeal was well and truly over. But in fact that verdict immediately moved you and the entire matter to a different, much more difficult place than the penal system you had just avoided.<br />
<br />
Millions of people were astonished and outraged by the jury's finding and from the immediate instant it was delivered shouted their acute, their adamant disapproval and disgust. Never mind that your constitutional rights meant you were innocent until proven guilty or that the jury did its arduous work correctly and honorably. They had "reasonable doubt" and were, whatever their personal opinions, forced to decide as they had.<br />
<br />
The people knew" (by some primal calculus), egged on by the media, that you were guilty... and now, aghast, flabbergasted, disbelieving, they watched as you, who had certainly murdered Caylee, walked. Millions of folks, certain in their minds as to what really happened and who was guilty and needed maximum punishment, wanted Justice for Caylee... and were frustrated they were not about to get it through the judicial system.<br />
<br />
At that moment of what had to be joy for you... the system which had just given you freedom... ensured you would be a haunted, hunted, despised and disdained woman for the rest of your life. Your life on the lamb started even before you left the courtroom and was ordained for the rest of your life. For, whatever the legal system says, public opinion, fed by powerful media, have ensured that you will be seen as a child murderer, the worst crime in all the calendar, with vigilante vengeance likely and popular vindication for anyone disposing of you certain.<br />
<br />
Let's look at what this means for you...<br />
<br />
You will be in a store like Wal-Mart ready to take advantage of a fantastic sale. Soon you'll feel rather than see that there are three, now four women whispering about something... you don't need to be told that what they're whispering about is... you.<br />
<br />
You hope the check-out girl hasn't seen... but one of the women walked over to a supervisor who, without batting an eye, told the check-out girl to take a 15-minute break,that her shift is over. The supervisor stands there, looks you in the eye and says, "You're Casey Anthony, aren't you?"<br />
<br />
You decide to lie.... you're good at lying... but he'll only ask to see your i.d. and then his strong surmise will become irrevocable fact. So, you say nothing, drop the things you so much wanted on the floor... and, for the thousandth time put your chin up and, looking dead ahead, walk out.<br />
<br />
But, like the sentence of the people itself, this incident continues.<br />
<br />
You are Casey Anthony... and you are beginning to understand what that means.<br />
<br />
The women who were whispering about you inside... are now a growing group. They do not know for sure that you are Casey Anthony (you do your hair different now) but they sense it.<br />
<br />
You see your car. You know that if you can get in and drive off before their suspicions harden into fact, you'll be ok. And so you walk faster... and as you do you see in the corner of your eye that the women are screaming now.... You don't need to hear the words... you have heard them all before.... over and over again.<br />
<br />
"Baby killer! Murderer! Murderer!"<br />
<br />
And as you open the car door,the first stone hits the windshield... the second hits you and you feel the blood run down your head.<br />
<br />
You manage to get in... get the key in the ignition... reminding yourself to stay cool... and get out fast.<br />
<br />
This time you get away... but you are Casey Anthony and you know that such an incident can happen any day, every day.<br />
<br />
Then one day, you're getting ready for a date with a boy who simply knows you as "Casey" and you're hoping he'll never find out. You're leaving the beauty parlor, looking terrific for the first time in months. All of a sudden there's a sharp pain in your chest... and you see Toni the beautician, the lady who has just done your hair. She's got blood on her hands... the pain from the sharp instrument she's thrust into your body is unendurable. But she's smiling... "That was for Caylee Marie..." And amidst the chaos and confusion, you hear the women in the beauty parlor cheering, for Toni, for Caylee... and for the end of you...<br />
<br />
... the woman found innocent of murder by a jury of her peers... and guilty by an outraged nation scoffing at the verdict, determined to get justice for the dear little thing you cared so little about. You are Casey Anthony, innocent, and your dead body lies in a heap on the floor of the beauty shop... your eyes open, seeing nothing.<br />

The scenery will be unbeatable!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />
By Dr. Jeffrey Lant<br />
<br />
Most Americans don't know we had a dust-up in 1812 with our not-so- distant British colonial masters. Well, we did and from June 30-July 6, 2012 we'll be celebrating it in high style in Boston, Massachusetts, then in 11 other East Coast American cities that had a role in the war. The festivities will run from 2012-2015, with millions expected to come see.<br />
<br />
No doubt the most popular and easily the most photogenic part of this commemoration will be the parade of the world's tall ships, with more of these graceful relicts of days gone by assembled in one place than ever before. How many tall-ships will there be? William Armstrong, a spokesman for Operation Sail, the sponsor of this event along with the U.S. Navy, could not say exactly. But he did say that 120 nations have been invited to participate, and no doubt most of them will. As such it will draw visitors from around the globe to this living reminder of maritime majesty.<br />
<br />
Two extra special features make a trip to Boston de rigueur when the tall-ships come. First, this is the home port of the USS Constitution, launched in 1797. It is the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world. Dubbed "Old Ironsides" in sea battle where enemy cannonballs were seen to bounce harmlessly off her timbers, she defeated 4 superior British vessels, uniquely earning each of her captains a Congressional gold medal, perhaps in part because the Constitution's victories were one of the very few aspects of the war in general to go well.<br />
<br />
The second reason why Boston was selected to lead off the festivities has absolutely nothing to do with commemorating the war and absolutely everything to do with creating a truly whiz-bang of a program. While the tall-ships grace the harbor and capture every eye, the city of Boston (and all true believers in America's national past-time) will be celebrating the centennial of Fenway Park, a theme which will inspire every sportswriter to wax poetic, nostalgic, with nary a dry eye in the (uncomfortable, over-priced) bleachers.<br />
<br />
Not worth remembering.<br />
<br />
Sadly all this hard work and the unbeatable thrill of seeing a large percentage of the most graceful and interesting sailing vessels still extant celebrates an entirely forgettable war that should never have occurred and which showed that Yankee rhetoric (always soaring and bombastic) far outpaced Yankee management, efficiency, and organization. In short, the Yanks, having pulled off the biggest victory of the 18th century, eviscerating British North American power and gaining independence, took the wrong moral from the tale and assumed their old nemesis was a paper tiger, always and forever to be defeated by the vainglorious sons of America. It was an arrogant point of view that was soon shown to be wistful thinking, and nothing more.<br />
<br />
Family quarrels are always the most pernicious and hurtful.<br />
<br />
From the very moment the British accepted the loss of her American possessions every patriotic Briton ached for a rematch with her now liberated and bumptious former colonies. Because this was a family quarrel, each side (and particularly the British) took the greatest possible pleasure in irritating Americans, outraging Americans, belittling Americans and humiliating Americans. The colonies might be lost, well then, let the regime of insult, condescension, and mutual irritants commence. And because both sides were Britons, who knew each other as well as the back of their own hand, they knew exactly what to do to cause maximum pain and umbrage... and they did it with relish and unbridled joy, "Take this, serves you right!"<br />
<br />
For such antagonists another conflict was, and everyone knew it, inevitable. It was simply a matter of when... thus both nations bided their time; Britain bit by inexorable bit undoing Napoleon and his evanescent imperium, anxious to face again the unlikely winners who had humbled them with the gall and wormwood of 1776 and all that. It was a truly memorable antagonism, entirely personal, no holds barred, each and every encounter seen as an insult by the other. As I said, it was a very nasty family matter, casus belli unnecessary.<br />
<br />
Historians will tell you the War of 1812 had many causes and no doubt they are right. But all those who have fought for victory in their homes and offices will know the messy battles in operation "Top Dog" in which the opponents battle for ultimate supremacy. In such a situation, with the need for overall power and control paternal, primal, with mutual good will and correct relations impossible until the fundamental matter is well and truly settled. They fought because each existed and that each found affronting and profoundly irksome.<br />
<br />
The British goal in the War of 1812, a war which commenced as Napoleon then retreating from Russia after his fate-tipping disaster, thereby liberating British power, money and focus to upend the Yanks, was to continue her near absolute command of the world's seaways. "Rule Britannia" was not a song; it was profound national policy.<br />
<br />
By contrast, the Yanks, now controlling the most valuable real estate on earth, were anxious to get the rest... and this meant seizing Canada, every Yank believing that Canadians were anxious to be liberated. They weren't, but that made absolutely no difference. Liberated and Americanized they would be, like it (and they surely would), or not.<br />
<br />
The War of 1812 shaped up accordingly.<br />
<br />
The British, the world's greatest sea power, aimed to cripple the new American navy while making it quite clear that it would continue to impress seamen (particularly American seamen) into her vessels, whatever howls of outrage that might engender. Ships might be built... but able seamen were, as always, in short supply and thus England, whose very existence was predicated on maximum sea power, seized Americans wherever they could be had... without a shred of remorse.<br />
<br />
The goal of the Americans was to justify their (to them) hefty allocations of limited national resources in a navy. Thomas Jefferson and friends (one of whom, James Madison, was president in 1812), profoundly provincial, regarded a navy as an expensive luxury, hoped to hobble it. The navy needed victories to prove how essential it was. And, of course, there was the great prize, Canada. Voltaire may have regarded the Canadas as a patch of snow... but the War Hawks in Washington, D.C. did not. They craved Canada in the worst way, and the way they went about wooing her showed just how bad that could be.<br />
<br />
The ins and out of this struggle go beyond the confines of this article and may be found in "The War of 1812: A Forgotten Conflict" by Donald R. Hickey. Suffice it to say the Yanks made a dog's dinner of their Canadian incursions and not a single Canadian was sorry. Thus, they kept their snow to themselves. The British burnt Washington, D.C. including the White House, to avenge a similar barbarity by the Yanks when they invaded Canada. And the greatest victory of the war by either side was the Battle of New Orleans, which in due course made General Andrew Jackson, president of the United States. Ironically that great victory took place after the peace treaty between the belligerents had been signed in Ghent.<br />
<br />
No doubt some of this history will be told next summer, but the futile inconsequence of the war will be mentioned, if at all, sotto voce.<br />
<br />
You, however, now know and will astonish all who pontificate in front of you. For you have heard the story here... so do book your reservations now with Operation Sail the better to see the key places in this forgettable conflict about to be commemorated more grandly than the war itself ever was.<br />

A story of high summer. July, 2011.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />
By Dr. Jeffrey Lant<br />
<br />
Author's program note. When one is sweltering in the immensity of unbearable summer, one does (as you well know) what one can to cool off, and promptly, too. Music helps... especially if it's as cool as Martha and the Vandellas and Cole Porter. They have provided me with the background sound of the day, the sound of this article.<br />
<br />
In 1963 Martha and the Vandellas (known from 1967 to 1972 as Martha Reeves and the Vandellas) released an absolutely sizzling dance number entitled "(Love is like a) Heat Wave." It was a jump-up sound then, urgent in its insistence that you get up and dance, whatever the thermometer. And all these years later, it hasn't lost the zest that made this popular Motown group a pulse for the nation. It's one of the reasons "Rolling Stone" in 2004 ranked Martha and the Vandellas #96 on their list of the 100 greatest artists of all time.<br />
<br />
An entirely different -- but equally cool -- sound distinguished Cole Porter's come-back musical "Kiss Me, Kate" based on Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew". It came after a string of disappointments, which made America wonder whether this master of wit and sophistication had lost his touch. He had not... and it became the first musical to be given a Tony Award, in 1949. "Too Darn Hot" comes from this, Porter's biggest hit and summarizes exactly how I feel about the terra caliente. You can easily find both songs in any search engine. Find them now... listen carefully... and of course do so in a very cool room. Otherwise, you may not be tempted to get up and dance...<br />
<br />
Heat, more heat, no break in sight.<br />
<br />
I checked the 5-day forecast today in the Greater Boston, Massachusetts area, though it only reinforced my pronounced sense of doom that we are in for it and no mistake. Today will reach an insufferable 94 degrees F. Tomorrow even worse and on Saturday but paltry "relief". I plan to remain in the house, swathed by "cooler" air; be clear I do not say "cool". I suffer from the completely characteristic belief of all true New Englanders that there are only a few unbearable summer days and that one falls far below one's hardy Puritan ancestors if one gives way and "coddles" oneself with refrigerated air... when God's own, good enough for grandpapa, should be good enough for me. I suffer accordingly and am derided by my air-conditioned friends, whom I publicly chide for their lack of grit and fortitude... and secretly envy and covet.<br />
<br />
Summer at 4906 Woodward Ave. when we burnt and never worried.<br />
<br />
These punishing days of discomfort, perspiration and self-pity go to my memory at once and return me to the searing days of a 1950s summer in Illinois, where humidity and high temperatures produced a keen desire for escape, to anywhere else at all. Even to one's own backyard turned water park and entrepot for experiments in cooling off. My family with three children and young parents (but without air-conditioning) lived outside as much as possible, and had all the necessary accoutrements for comfortable surviving.<br />
<br />
Liberally strewn about the yard, much lived in, never immaculate with carefully tended grass, were the symbols that made clear an active, kid-centered environment. There was a simple garden hose, turned into aqua-weapon with deadly effect... little brothers with attitude soon learned to peer around the corner of the house before advancing, since big brother prided himself on ever new, more exacting forays and gambits. When all else failed on a brutal summer's day, the hose always worked, the water clear, frosty, unpolluted, never in plastic bottles with pompous names and pictures of snowy mountain tops.<br />
<br />
Then came the Slip 'n Slide.<br />
<br />
Slip 'n Slide is a toy manufactured by Wham-O, first introduced in 1961 after being invented by Cody Abramson. The toy is a long sheet of thin plastic, flanked lengthwise on one side by a heat-sealed tubular fold. The tube can be attached to any ordinary garden hose. Water runs through the tube and out small perforations, spraying into the sliding surface. The Slip 'n Slide then becomes very slippery, enabling users to jump onto the plastic and slide the length of the sheet. June, for the record, is National Slip 'n Slide month, but only by company fiat.<br />
<br />
Slip 'n Slide provided years of fun and also, no doubt, a plethora of plastic burns, scuffs of every kind and a body deeply red from one "watch me mom!" stunt after another. Years later both manufacturer and the Consumer Product Safety Commission recommended that only children use the toy because of back and neck injuries when teenagers and adults use it. Injuries occur because people heavier or taller than children might stop suddenly while diving onto the toy. Between 1971 and 1991, seven adults and one teenager reported injuries while using Slip 'n Slide including neck injuries, bone fractures, quadriplegia, and paraplegia. No doubt we sustained bruises of various kinds... but the only member of the family to complain was Mrs. Whiskers the cat, who was often (and always hilariously) taken down the yellow plastic slide to howls of feline indignation and outrage. By contrast, Missy the beagle delighted in the hub-bub and spray. On one memorable day when an unknowing neighbor sought to remove "that dog" from the Slip 'n Slide, my 4-year old brother put her firmly in her place: "Is no dawg," he pointed out, "is Missy", an unanswerable line that makes me laugh to this day.<br />
<br />
One necessary kid device after another.<br />
<br />
This yard extensive with woods where wild animals were still to be seen, before the unceasing growth of this suburban sprawl drove them away, this yard featured amusements both handmade and manmade. There was the much-used remains of a real fort my father (talented with his slender hands), built for us. It was a minor work of art, soon demolished by older jealous boys with less nimble fathers. We built another, more practical, always well stocked in buried storage bins with the hard crabapples we knew so well to throw and sting. Illinois, remember, prides itself on its handy young men, and we were surely such.<br />
<br />
And so it went, our yard an open-to-the-sky toy box... here featuring the shoebox lifted by a stick, pulled by a string the better to catch the careless robin; we did one day... and, having succeeded in our task... promptly let it go again. We were not a family that killed for fun, sport, or pleasure... and I am proud of that.<br />
<br />
In due course, my father had his way and constructed one of the large plastic pools where the water was six feet, or more. It instantly became the center of young, leisured Illinois, to the extent that when the municipality built a brand- new facility, we refused to go... to my father's chagrin, since he was one of the trustees who made that pool possible. Frankly, the raspberry and blackberry bushes that grew beside our pool, made ours seem desirably rustic and secluded. After all, what is summer moonlight for?<br />
<br />
And still the unending heat beat down, but we were not done with our responses yet.<br />
<br />
About this time, my grammie came, who always knew a thing or two about families and the need of parents (however young) for a respite. In her immaculate Oldsmobile she drove us to the Walgreen's in the center of town, the only place to get the ardently desired and soon gone cherry phosphate or raspberry-lime rickey. I'd know their taste anywhere.<br />
<br />
And then home, dinner and the last sacred rite of a sultry summer's evening: running behind the DDT truck as it sprayed the neighborhood with poisons, the fleet of foot (myself in the lead) at the pipe, quaffed and quaffed some more. The dense chemical clouds, the whoops of joy and laughter didn't lower the temperature one degree... but they raised our spirits... and thus exhilarated we moved out of the heat... towards the livable September temperatures which would liberate us all for another year.<br />

<br />
Author's program note. In 1949, America's darling, Judy Garland, starred in a big budget MGM musical called "In the Good Old Summertime". It was all twirling parasols, Sunday at the gazebo in the park with the grandly uniformed band playing Sousa marches, and, of course, innocent romances. The word "tootsie-wootsie" was coined... and we all wanted to know one we could take to the church ice-cream social.<br />
<br />
But before you get all gussied up in your best bib and tucker, there's work to do, very important work... making headway on the most important task of all: preparing for that absolutely crucial fall sales season, relentlessly on its way; the season starting just after Labor Day in early September... and concluding the minute you lock up and go home to celebrate Christmas with your family.<br />
<br />
Successfully handling the fall sales season, the highlight of your business, is a must... for, after all, you're going to need a lot of extra cash this year... "tootsie-wootsie's" (of either the female or male variety) are never cheap. So, don't stint on the planning... <br />
<br />
To help you get into the mood, go to any search engine. Find Judy Garland's tune and play it a couple of times. Then, while the lilt of the music washes over you, begin what needs to be done for the most successful fall of your life. And don't dilly-dally either, or all the lemon sorbet will be gone before you put on your straw boater and head for that social where you, known to be an up-and-coming business wiz, will make. such a good impression...<br />
<br />
Here's a helpful check-list to get you on your way:<br />
<br />
1) Start today.<br />
<br />
As I write (July 19, 2011) a blistering heat wave is causing large parts of America to swoon. You need to rise above the shimmering heat and FOCUS. He (or she) who hesitates is lost. Remember, you plan in the summer... and implement your plan in the fall. If you don't plan until fall, you will find yourself in the impossible situation of planning and executing your plan at the same time. And that's a killer.<br />
<br />
2) Conclude all training programs as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
Summer is and always has been a superb time to learn new business skills. But learning them means exactly that; not a time for dawdling and procrastinating, which you can easily do if the course is self-paced, as so many are these days. Put yourself on a strict deadline for completion... and stick to it.<br />
<br />
3) Set up your blog and begin to stockpile articles for it. Summer's a great time to bulk-up on articles so that you're not scrambling for copy, when you need to be circulating it.<br />
<br />
You should always have at least half a dozen such articles readily at hand, punchy, well-written articles that will get your customers to stop what they're doing and read your latest effusion.<br />
<br />
4) Work on creating and testing offers that pull the best.<br />
<br />
You need offers that pull in maximum business, and the summer is the perfect time to create -- and test -- them. This testing is a must. The worst thing you can do is amble into the fall without knowing you've got offers that sell on hand and ready to go.<br />
<br />
Review the top offers you've already made this year. Can you reprise any, editing, tweaking, improving for the best possible results? And be sure to check the offers you made last fall. You did keep good statistics on results, didn't you? That's crucial, so you invest your always limited ad budget where it'll do you the most good.<br />
<br />
5) Work on increasing your traffic.<br />
<br />
For years I have said "The list is the business, the business is the list." On the Internet, the operative word for list is "traffic". With it, you're lord of all you survey; without it, you're just a schlepper without a prayer.<br />
<br />
Every successful Internet entrepreneur I know (and few people in the world know more) has a daily traffic plan, which they are rightly obsessed with creating, improving and implementing. These people know how to create the solid-gold lists that deliver ever improving results and how to present offers so that the people on these lists just cannot resist responding -- and buying.<br />
<br />
Still more tips!<br />
<br />
6) Review your website. Are you happy with the way it looks, or is it time for some refurbishment and remodeling?<br />
<br />
The website that looked so good and eye-catching yesterday may well be in need of some overdue improvements today. If you can make them, fine; if you can't contact your web designer at once. Remember, as the fall approaches these talented folks are very in demand. Book your time as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
7) Add new products to your website.<br />
<br />
Every business in the world adds new products to its line in time for the fall sales season, and you must do the same.<br />
<br />
Now's the moment to review your product line and add the hot new products you've found.<br />
<br />
Don't have any such products? Then you've got to shake a leg and get down to the important business of finding them... and making the necessary arrangements with their suppliers. And don't wait to do this... you should spend a part of every day discovering, reviewing and adding new products to your website.<br />
<br />
8) Check all your business supplies.<br />
<br />
Have you got toner and paper aplenty for your printer? What about business cards, stationery, envelopes, checks, pens and file folders? (I am always running out of these).<br />
<br />
Review everything you need. You don't want to be caught short, scrambling to re-up when you should be focusing, always focusing, on SALES.<br />
<br />
9) Let your customers know your fall availability is dwindling.<br />
<br />
If you provide a specialized service where you can only handle so many customers at a time, notify your prospects and established customers at once that your availability is shrinking and that they need to book time for your service now.<br />
<br />
Send a reminder to these folks every other week or so until you have no further appointments left and are in waiting list mode. Always make it clear just how little time remains; scarcity motivates even the worst procrastinators to act.<br />
<br />
10) Review your personnel requirements. Remember you can't do everything yourself... too much to do, way too little time in which to do it. Make sure you have the help you need and that you and they are both clear on what needs to be done and whether your help will be available to assist.<br />
<br />
Remember, if you need extra help, advertise early to find and train it, so everything moves smoothly when you need it to do so.<br />
<br />
Last words.<br />
<br />
Every successful person I know is a planning fanatic. I'm one myself. Planning (and this includes reviewing and updating your plan as necessary) is a must... especially before the crucial fall sales season.<br />
<br />
After you've advanced your plan today, by all means spruce yourself up, put on that poplin jacket and the eye-catching chapeau and white duck trousers or navy blue skirt and blouse with mutton sleeves. It's time for you to mix and mingle for you have places to go and people to meet... After all, everyone wants to make the acquaintance of a likely comer like you, always so organized, efficient, and productive. And that's a very good sign.... in the good old summertime... or any other time!<br />

Dead at 81, June 24, 2011.By Dr. Jeffrey Lant<br />
<br />
Author's program note. You're old enough now to know that life, for most of us, is a series of compromises. You get some of what you want... and lots of what you don't want. You have to buss body parts for people who insist upon you bending the knee, the better to exalt them. And all the while you think "If only..." This is an article about a man who didn't say "If only..." He did what he wanted, when he wanted, how he wanted... and literally laughed all the way to the bank.<br />
<br />
Frank Sinatra, the Chairman of the Board, knew something about this syndrome. He snapped his fingers at conventional behavior and did it his way. That's why he was the perfect, entirely believable person, to sing one of his signature tunes, "My Way" (recorded 1968). You'll find it in any search engine. Go now... and listen a couple of times to get yourself in the mood and mind-set for this tale of Stanley Seeger... a man you never heard of before and never saw a picture of... who, whilst you were following The Man's instructions... lived your dream, and smiled.<br />
<br />
Eccentric, idiosyncratic.<br />
<br />
First, let's dispose of a couple of silly words found in every obituary of and article about Stanley Seeger... "eccentric" and "idiosyncratic". Like clockwork their writers unfailingly use these highly loaded words, pointing out that Seeger lived the exact life he and his life partner (since 1979) Christopher Cone desired. Such pedestrian writers clearly believe and want you to believe that if you live the life you want you are odd, peculiar; that the only normality is living the way everyone else does. The truth is, as soon as people have the ability to live life their way, they seize the opportunity and do. The eccentric folk are the ones who live by the dictates, orders and whims of others... and never know the thrill of the open road, the road that goes to where they want to go. But which you, only dreaming of freedom, will never see...<br />
<br />
Seeger selected just the right parents.<br />
<br />
I often wonder how smart babies got that way, for even before they are born they have shaped so much of the remainder of their lives, making it just so. When therefore I read how odd Seeger was, I laugh. Why, he had the tremendous good sense (for openers) to select a family rich from timber and oil, two commodities the world never gets enough of. Born in 1930 in Milwaukee; the city the Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company immortalized in its long-running ad as the "beer that made Milwaukee famous", Seeger wanted out of this beer-drenched paradise.<br />
<br />
His first step out came when he was sent to boarding school in Arizona. There he went to a traveling exhibition of works from the Museum of Modern Art in New York. These paintings, dramatic, evocative, rule-breaking, challenging spoke to something in the boy. They had, as art and its masters will do, hooked him. The ramifications of this catch would be played out for the rest of his life.<br />
<br />
Next, he went to Princeton, the most genteel of the Ivies. Like other boys of aesthethic temperament (Christopher Forbes comes to mind) he flowered at Princeton...from which he graduated in 1952 but stayed on as a graduate student pursuing a master's degree in fine arts composition. It was then he took the fatal step of beginning to buy his first serious acquisitions. Like all collectors he needed good advice; he got his from New York dealer Catherine Viviano, who represented a group of young British and Italian painters.<br />
<br />
One fateful day, he bought his first ticket to Greece, like so many of us have. The cerulean Aegean... the riches of the Academy... the sharp taste of retsina on a beach too perfect to be true, worked together to capture him forever; it's what Greece does best. So, he well and truly left Milwaukee behind by becoming a Greek citizen... while giving Princeton $2 million for their Hellenistic studies program. He put his money where his heart was; no one, especially no one at beautiful Princeton, thought that eccentric or idiosyncratic.<br />
<br />
London<br />
<br />
In the late 1970s Seeger settled, if such a peripatetic fellow ever really settles, in London. There he met Cone, a staff member at Sotheby's Belgravia branch. There he had another "aha" moment... this time for Victorian art. He liked Fuseli and Turner... He also began to like moderns like Graham Sutherland, Ben Nicholson, Malcolm Morley, and Howard Hodgkin. Just where to put his burgeoning (and valuable) collection was always a challenge, for he not only collected fine art... but residences, too. He had a yacht enchantingly named "Rosenkavalier" and homes in Barbados... St. Moritz...in Berkshire... Devon.... then Yorkshire. Ownership bored him; acquisition did not.<br />
<br />
Art needs a home, so Seeger got one... one of the best.<br />
<br />
In 1980, Seeger bought one of the most famous estates in the realm of Britain, fabled Sutton Place. It was a red-brick manor house built in the 1520s. Among its celebrated owners was J. Paul Getty, oil magnate, then the richest man on terra firma. Getty got irked by servants and visitors using his phone to rack up huge long distance charges. When he installed a pay phone, the world ridiculed... but the world always expects rich people to cover their tabs. It's most irritating...<br />
<br />
Sutton Place, at the time of Seeger's purchase, was grand, very grand indeed... 14 bedrooms, large banquet hall, 100 foot library, and more than 700 acres of grounds. But even this was not quite good enough for Seeger, who to the intense irritation of certain British critics who think foreigners should buy but never change these historic properties, started re-modeling. He modernized the decor and, imagine, hung paintings from his avant-garde collection, which hadn't a Holbein or portrait of Queen Bloody Mary, favoring instead the bold Francis Bacon triptych of contorted nudes he had acquired for $8.5 million in 1979. This was not merely a painting; it was a bold declaration of who Seeger was and what was important to him, let the consequences be what they may. In 6 years he got tired of the effort.... and profitably sold, as usual.<br />
<br />
And so this whirligig of a man kept collecting, enjoying, selling and acquiring some more, rich, restless, living out his dream... endlessly searching for a beauty which may only have existed in his mind. Now he's passed on... and wherever he has gone, I feel sure he is, this very moment, focused on its enhancement... and having achieved that, be it in heaven itself, will pursue the even more perfect and desirable. It is his still unfinished destiny. <br />

Vital things they don't teach you at Harvard Business School.By Dr. Jeffrey Lant<br />
<br />
In just a few short days, I shall celebrate the completion of 17 years as that most iconic of leaders, the Chief Executive Officer (universally called CEO). There will be on that day words comical and serious; kind wishes; wonder about when I intend to retire and how that will affect things (quick answer... I love my job far too much to give it up in my prime, which I define as whatever day, month and year it happens to be. It will be a lovely day... with some tears, cheers and hugs all round, and that most intelligent group (officers and employees) dutifully and with unfeigned deference gathering to hear what the old man has to say this time and wondering how it will affect them.<br />
<br />
Then I shall return to the reality of my job, a job that has taken a very substantial part of my life. And I will do it as I always have: with all the wisdom, experience, and humor I possess. Nothing less would be acceptable to my comrades and customers... or to me.<br />
<br />
The story from my second book that inspired this article. I have over the years written 18 books, mostly business books but not all. In 1982 I edited a volume on Harvard College, featuring twenty-two distinguished graduates. One of the more junior graduates featured was Jonathan Z. Larsen, class of 1961, well known author and journalist.<br />
<br />
In his reflections he recalled that his father, Roy E. Larsen, president of Time, Inc, unexpectedly died in 1979. The day before he passed, he shared a small joke with his son... and an enduring insight about the best business people; this, I will share with you.<br />
<br />
"Don't forget," said the ailing older to the fretful younger Larsen, "Harvard is not as hard as it seems" , and then showed off a letter he had just received from Harvard's then president Derek Bok, enquiring about his health. The letter had clearly touched him for it was found on his nightstand along with his medications when his family came to see their honored patriarch in death. One hopes, and Jonathan Z. Larsen believes, that letter at that time from that person helped Roy Larsen on his way. Either way, it was just the right touch from one busy CEO to another. And is therefore something you need to know and do when promoted to be CEO yourself, the leader at the apex of the business.<br />
<br />
CEOs are chosen for their exalted position, where they combine the skills and attributes of the very (senior) gods of Mt. Olympus... while wearing a fireman's helmet for all the fires large and small they must put out, quickly, deftly, harmoniously; while, let us never forget, doing the great tasks for which they were hired in the first place, being captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise.<br />
<br />
#1. The CEO as "papa". I venture to surmise that no company has ever included "being papa to the whole lot of 'em" in its job description. That's irrelevant, for papa they need you to be and expect... whether you've ever been formally told that, or not.<br />
<br />
"Papa" means that you are and must function as the patriarch of your whole extended family. To make this happen you need a great deal of personal information and a system in place for finding it, filing it for easy access, and using it. To give you an idea of what I mean, years ago I worked for U.S. Senator Edward Brooke (R-Mass.) The Senator was always and constantly meeting hordes of new people; excellent though his memory was, he needed help... and this system provided it.<br />
<br />
In those days the personal computer and Internet didn't exist; elaborate card files, updated by hand and typewriter did... as items became known about the various people featured in the card file, that information was added to their bio and record of dealings with Brooke. Various people had the task of traveling with him even if that journey of the day took them no further than the North Adams Chamber of Commerce. That person's job was to cue the Senator on who he was meeting and what news or greeting... or special comment or compliment he should deliver. Senator Brooke had both a capacious memory himself and was a great personality and showman. This performance never failed to make friends and influence people... thus showing that "Papa" Brooke knew his job.<br />
<br />
#2 Keeping tabs on and in touch with your business' VIPs, always remembering that many will not be on your staff.<br />
<br />
This point explains the importance of the Derek Bok-Roy Larsen enchange mentioned above. Larsen was a key Harvard player and Bok never had to be told twice what that meant for the University -- and him. When you are CEO you need strong personal relationships (for all that they may be principally carried out by letter, phone, or even, these days, e-mail.<br />
<br />
Your list of grandees may comprise, but will certainly not be limited to members of the Board of Directors, previous CEO's (who always retain (sometimes inexplicably) influence with many. It also consists of heads of unions, key suppliers, banking panjandrums... are you beginning to get the picture?<br />
<br />
As Roy Larsen's reaction showed when he received that missive from Harvard President Bok, he was pleased as punch, honored, touched. First because he was a CEO himself (Time magazine, remember) and knew moments for such gracious tasks and remembrances were not common. Secondly, because Bok was president of an important institution Larsen loved and had unfailingly helped, right up to the end.<br />
<br />
#3 Hoi Polloi.<br />
<br />
It is obvious, isn't it, why you'd stretch yourself and find time to build enduring relations with the people we've so far discussed. Now, however, comes another group of people. The so-called "little people", the people whose hard work and loyalty makes possible your enlightened corporate regime.<br />
<br />
In this category are employees who get seriously ill or have another problems and difficulties. Also, children of such people; families of persons who go to fight America's wars and are disabled or killed. Also, people who NEVER get recognition... kitchen workers, maintenance crews, delivery personnel and security details. Without these stalwarts of your CEO-ship you're lost. There are many, many categories, but you get the point. You need these people far more than they need you. Your heartfelt messages to them upon difficulties and troubled times should therefore be masterpieces of empathy and understanding, never ever being or even seeming like a form letter.<br />
<br />
Details, details, details.<br />
<br />
At Harvard Business School they are far too grand to inform the students, most of whom expect to be CEOs in due course, of these critical matters. But I'm sure you see the point. Now see this, too:<br />
<br />
* All messages must be personal, with handwritten messages the best. * Make your administration the "recognition" administration; don't let a day go by, not a single day, without implementing these ideas. * When the matter involves you having to criticize and not just praise, also include as many good things are you can say. Mary Poppins knew a "spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down."<br />
<br />
Remember, future CEO, that you are not only the reigning executive... you are also the symbolic head of your enterprise. As such people want to see you... and they want to know that you're not merely bright and rich; they need to know that you are the best possible person, too, humane, understanding, always reaching out.<br />
<br />
Here for today we must end. You are now on your way not merely to being an admirable CEO but the CEO who works wonders with people, because you make it clear and often that companies are not merely bricks and mortar, products, etc. They are first and always about people... the people you lead as their constant paladin and strong support. Be assured they will love you for it.<br />

<br />
The Internet is divided into two quite distinct parts: people who make money every single day... and those who not only do not but can not.<br />
<br />
I am firmly in the first category. Sadly, you are most probably in the second. If you are serious about profiting online this candid, detailed report is not only useful; it's an absolute must. Don't just read it once, either, and expect to get everything out of it. Study it as if your online life and prosperity depend upon it... for they do. It is part of a series of such articles you can find on my blog, details below. Each article in the series takes up a different, crucial aspect of the Internet millionaire's mind... resolved to put you in that mind-set as soon as possible, the faster to generate the profits you desire.<br />
<br />
Energy<br />
<br />
I shall commence today with a problem every person online has who is not a millionaire: sloth, laziness, endless vistas of wealth and prosperity... but torpid, meandering, a poster boy or girl for lassitude, indolence, intolerable sluggishness.<br />
<br />
I have been on the Internet profitably now since 1994... and among other things have been teaching the essentials of online business success. The degree of inertia and just plain lack of consistent effort and dogged perseverance is staggering.<br />
<br />
Let's be clear with each other. You cannot succeed online if you exhibit consistently poor and inadequate business habits. Good habits are the foundation for Internet success. Treating your online business differently from your offline business will ensure its complete and total failure.<br />
<br />
To establish the best possible habits and make the best possible use of the time at your disposal, you need to understand when your energy is at peek... and when, therefore, to do the essential tasks which require the most energy. I am writing this article at 4:25 a.m. Eastern time. I have learned over time that this is the best time of the day to write the 1,500 words of publishable prose I write each day and post on my website and blog. Millionaires, online and off, are expert at reviewing all their assets and deciding just when they should be used for maximum advantage.<br />
<br />
Now, I've gotten off my chest something I've been meaning to write for some time; success comes to those who understand what they have available... then using these assets to generate other assets, maximum energy being an absolute necessity.<br />
<br />
Stop Buying, Start Selling.<br />
<br />
One of the Internet's wisest entrepreneurs, George Kosch, has been reviewing and analyzing online wealth seekers for decades. It is both vocation and avocation and his knowledge of such people is encyclopedic, insightful, and often extremely funny. He has identified one group as online business wannabees with the "Shiny New Package Syndrome".<br />
<br />
These folks are engaged in the never-ending, completely futile, and drainingly expensive task of buying every new thing that appears online, the better to ensure that they have the latest, best, cutting-edge do-dad which, immediately upon purchase, is hastily reviewed, then cast on top of the gigantic, only just balanced, stack of dozens, even hundreds of once "must have" items, enticing, purchased, discarded, forgotten.<br />
<br />
This syndrome is a killer for building wealth and misses the essential point for how you can use these glittery products with the breathless descriptions to profit. There is a way, an easy way, but it involves changing your thinking from buyer to seller, for one essential and irrefutable reason: product sellers make money... product buyers do not.<br />
<br />
You say you are online to make money, right? This being the case tell me when you last reviewed all the product descriptions and purchase opportunities and offers you receive hour by hour online? If you are reaching for an answer that doesn't come, let me refresh your memory: you never do this, not today, yesterday, or ever. You do what the overwhelming majority of so-called online entrepreneurs do: you trash these advertisements, irritated that you receive them, fast into the dumpster, so there.<br />
<br />
This conclusively proves you are not, just yet, millionaire material, since you are ignoring, overlooking and destroying just what can help you succeed.<br />
<br />
Product review never stops... but, sadly, with you has probably never started.<br />
<br />
Every company determined to grow, even in times of strenuous economic challenge like ours, sets about reviewing products to augment, extend and make more profitable their line. Day in, day out such entrepreneurs make a point of searching out new products that their all-important customer base and lists can monetize for them. Each day is a day for adding new products. The question before the house is: why aren't you doing this, you with the big dreams and great desires?<br />
<br />
Thanks to the Internet, it has never been easier to discover products worldwide and build worldwide business relationships, all from the comfort of your at-home PC and Internet connection. How Christopher Columbus and all the great European explorers would envy you... for at your fingertips this very minute, you have the means of building one or more huge customer lists and of reviewing and adding new products every single day.<br />
<br />
Product review and product selling hints.<br />
<br />
First, what I've written above obviously necessitates a sea change in how you regard your email. New product details and offers must no longer be considered as "junk"; rather, look upon them as helpful information sent by people who desire you to get as rich as possible as soon as possible. When such materials arise (minute by minute online), either review at once... or transfer to an online file so you can review later. Make it a point to review this file regularly, transferring the data you want to another file, while discarding items which seem unlikely to excite the folks on your lists.<br />
<br />
Develop and send a stationery letter to the prime source/developer/owner of each product. Advise them you wish to add their product to your catalog/website/list. Indicate your traffic statistics and how you can sell their products. Then ask for the discount terms, name, email address, telephone number of the person handling this product. Be sure to include all your follow-up details.<br />
<br />
Note: if this message is not answered within 48 hours, re-email and place "second attempt" at the top; you're a serious player and the company you're contacting needs to know it. Efficiency always helps.<br />
<br />
Your desire for success, your ability to achieve it online is determined by how many of these letters you send... and how many new products you email to your lists.<br />
<br />
Remember, doing so is not the work of an hour, a day or a week. If you want to do what you say you want to do, namely make money online, you must understand that you will do this until you wrap up your online enterprises for good. In my case, that will only take place when I'm six-feet under... and you should have a similar date.<br />
<br />
Just one more thing. The products that you used to pay for, emptying your wallet... you'll get them free from the companies producing them as soon as you show them just what a crackerjack sales machine you are. That starts now!<br />

<br />
Rupert Murdoch only wanted one thing out of life... and that thing was... you. Palaces... fine cars.. every good thing in life, those items he could have had, but those dazzling prizes bored him. But you and your mind never palled or lost their interest. He craved you... wanted you... and always remained faithful to you, doing everything possible to control every thought in your mind. Rupert Murdoch is a great lover... and you were the unceasing object of his profound, unswerving devotion.<br />
<br />
Like many other lovers, Rupert's interest in you grew from the casual to the obsessive. He wanted to be with you every step of your life... supplying you with everything you needed....and going to great, exorbitant lengths to ensure you got it.<br />
<br />
He gave you everything... and only wanted one thing: your full and total devotion. Love Rupert and Rupert would love you... Daddy was there to provide. And if along the way he broke a law or two or made the odd misjudgment, what matter? He did it all for you... and he'd do it all again; such is the true measure of his affection. He loved you, you see, not wisely but too well.<br />
<br />
Keith Rupert Murdoch, born 11 March, 1931.<br />
<br />
Rupert Murdoch was born in Melbourne, Australia. It's a place named after Queen Victoria's first Prime Minister, Viscount Melbourne. This wouldn't matter much except for one of his lordship's celebrated aphorisms, "That is no use at all. What I want is friends who will support me when I am in the wrong." It's something Murdoch should keep in mind these troubled days... the problem is he does not have, maybe never had, friends in the first place, a fact more glaring by the day....<br />
<br />
From Adelaide to the world.<br />
<br />
From his earliest youth, Murdoch had a fascination with getting his thoughts, ideas, quirks, eccentricities, idiosyncrasies and hobby horses into your head. This can only be done if you control media sources... and Murdoch knew instantly that he had to have such sources... lots of sources... maybe every such source to achieve his goal, to be a man worthy of himself.<br />
<br />
His father, Sir Keith Murdoch was a wealthy man, money made through a series of regional Australian newspapers. Sir Keith was an empire builder... and made sure his son and heir had every advantage, including a stint at Worcester College, Oxford University where he supported the Labour Party.<br />
<br />
When he was just 22, his father died, prompting his return from Oxford, becoming director of News Limited in 1953. To celebrate, he acquired the "Sunday Times" in Perth, Western Australia. He colored in this part of the world on his map, thereby showing where he had influence. He liked what he saw and knew he wanted more, much more. He had well and truly commenced his lifetime's quest... exhilarated rather than intimidated at how much there was to accumulate and control... and how little time he had to do it.<br />
<br />
His models, his inspirations were the truly great media moguls, people like William Randolph Hearst, Max (Lord) Beaverbrook, Joseph Pulitzer.. He aimed to beat the pants off these titans and become the greatest media giant ever, the man who acquired all, beat all, and surmounted all, triumphant and unassailable. On this basis for years he satisfied himself as he not only took over one key media source after another but developed as a crucial player in the "you scratch my back..." culture of Great Britain, Australia, Canada, the United States... and beyond. It was a marvelous, dazzling, thrilling formula for success:<br />
<br />
* Buy media sources (print and television).<br />
<br />
* Influence politicians.<br />
<br />
* Keep politicians eager to please you, so you support their agendas and careers.<br />
<br />
* Ensure that all governments know your power and want to please and appease you.<br />
<br />
* Buy another media source... and do it all again.<br />
<br />
"Content is king."<br />
<br />
The problem with acquiring media sources is that they are worthless unless people like you and me want and are willing to buy the content they deliver. Thus, every time Murdoch and his News Corporation acquired a new media property, they acquired the problem of keeping and increasing its audience. Another titan, Microsoft's Bill Gates, knew the solution. His celebrated aphorism is "Content is king." He used it in reference to the Internet, but it applied as well to Rupert Murdoch's far-flung, always expanding empire.<br />
<br />
It boiled down to this: if Murdoch's empire was to grow and thrive, he needed superior content and he needed it every single day. That's what we readers and viewers demanded... and we demanded we get it... or else.<br />
<br />
With the stakes so high, so very high and always growing, with the voracious engines of Murdoch's empire needing more and more customer-pleasing content, it soon became understood (but never, you understand, made public) that all means were permitted to get information that would help circulation. "You understand what I mean by 'all means'?" he might have said... with his auditors bowing their heads, nodding, winking, thus signifying that they, too, understood what was at stake... and thereby entered into a conspiracy that grew and grew as the need for cash grew apace. It was a deal with the Devil which resulted in immoral deeds, illegal deeds, disgusting and disreputable deeds.<br />
<br />
But Mr. Murdoch and the great news media he controlled needed copy... and, after all, we have our own deals with the Devil, don't we? And so the stage was set... and the very gods of Olympus stopped what they were about, anxious to see what developed and what a man like Murdoch, with a mind without trammels, might do.<br />
<br />
The action broke July 4, 2011, when it was that Murdoch's "News of the World" tabloid ordered the hacking of the voice mail of Milly Dowler, a 13-year old girl abducted and murdered in 2002. The publication of that news was like the line that starts all horse races, "And they're off..." And so they were as each day since then has brought an ever-expanding litany of what Murdoch would like us to believe were a "few minor mistakes". But were they so slight?<br />
<br />
* Item: Murdoch employees hacked the bank records for former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. They also hacked the medical records for Brown's four year old son, Fraser, who suffers from cystic fibrosis.<br />
<br />
* Item: Murdoch's operatives bribed the Queen's royal protection officers to give them details of Her Majesty's schedule.<br />
<br />
* Item: Murdoch's hackers, busily at their dark work, accessed the bank, medical and other personal records of thousands of people, looking for who-knows-what for who-knows-why.<br />
<br />
In a moment, Murdoch's unstoppable machine stopped... as politicians, who had kow-towed before the master, scented blood... and wanted it at once, not because of "vengeance" of course (never that) but only for the best and loftiest of reasons.<br />
<br />
And so one story of deception, lies, and privacy violation after another surfaced, Murdoch and his empire swooned.... until on July 13th Murdoch had to withdraw a $12 billion offer for shares he does not already own in Britain's main satellite television broadcaster. And this is only the beginning of miseries as Murdoch's emboldened critics will now avenge their many abasements and humiliations at his hands, for they have all awaited this satisfaction for many seasons. Murdoch, the consummate street fighter, will never go softly into that good night... but go he must, or lose all. Then when asked why he who had so much had to have more, at any cost, he will say this: "I had to do it, for you, you, the only person I have ever loved."<br />

With morethan half a billion active users of this website, it has become more than just a social networking website. Today, this is an entire market that online entrepreneurs are tapping into for seeking their business profits.<br />
<br />
However, even within the arena of Facebook marketing, there has been a sea of change recently. People are using newer and different methods of bringing their products out into the open through this social networking portal, and this is only facilitated more because of applications such as FB Maxed 2011. These applications give people several options to effectively showcase their businesses to their group of people on Facebook and even attract other people from their target niche to their business profiles.<br />
<br />
One of the recent trends that entrepreneurs are involved in right now is posting theirbusiness websites on their Facebook profiles. This was not possible until lately, but nowby using new iMarket features, applications like FB Maxed are making that possible.You can post your website on your Facebook profile now, and make it interactive aswell.<br />
<br />
This applies to webpages of considerable lengths. The entire webpage is taken in and displayed on the profile. People are able to embed videos and add some ecommerce features as well.<br />
<br />
The biggest potential of Facebook is that people can build networks. For business persons, it means that they can build their list of leads, which they can look upon as prospects for furthering their business. Now, these new Facebook profile pages that allow websites also allow all those opt-in features that help people to build their lists.<br />
<br />
You can convert all your Facebook visitors into a potential lead database that you can promote your product to if you so wanted.<br />
<br />
Earlier, with the Facebook Markup Language that was used, there were several restrictions on how Facebook could be used by entrepreneurs. Recently, this markup language has taken a backseat and people are using new options like HTML5, which isgiving a new leash to the limits that people can use their Facebook profiles to.<br />
<br />
It is a wonderful world of opportunities that has been created. At present, more than 50% of the people who shop online regularly have Facebook profiles. Hence, it is only but logical that entrepreneurs use this platform to give the boost to their business that they are looking for. Recent trends indicate that entrepreneurs are not allowing any such opportunity pass.<br />

Roger Clemens, the Rocket's red glare. Oh say, does his star-spangled banner yet wave?By Dr. Jeffrey Lant<br />
<br />
I grew up in a baseball family; so did every other kid on my block in 1950s Illinois. Our team of choice was the Chicago Cubs, though perhaps "choice" is the wrong word, for we inherited those Cubbies (as they were always called) from my mother and her brothers, whilst they in their turn inherited them from their father, my grandfather. The Cubbies were not so much a team as they were a cult whose tribal rituals were well known and never neglected by the faithful. They played America's game... and we were proud to wear their colors and follow their (always losing) seasons with intense scrutiny and pride.<br />
<br />
As my mother (a complete zealot) hastened to remind us when we members of the younger generation suggested we wanted more from a team than dogged perseverance and that gallant way they had of leaving the field at an end of another losing season; my mother wisely said that these were our boys, they tried hard, gave great pleasure, didn't make much money and deserved every penny they got. And so we were well and truly put in our place... and stayed loyal to The Cause, though Bill Veeck's White Sox tempted...<br />
<br />
I thought of my fellow loyalists the other day as I watched Roger Clemens, one of the greatest pitchers ever to grace the game, as he and his wife walked down the street, reporters dogging their every move, to the E. Barrett Prettyman Federal Courthouse in Washington, D.C. July 11, 2011. And I don't mind telling you that I teared up... not so much for Roger Clemens but for those faithful Cubbies in Downers Grove, now mostly dead and buried... and thus saved from the pain of watching not merely the Rocket but the entire sport on trial. They would, I know, have been deeply saddened by this humiliating scene... and as I remembered each of them by name...tears fell. I couldn't help it... and you probably can't either. This hurts.<br />
<br />
William Roger Clemens born August 4, 1962. Dayton, Ohio.<br />
<br />
Clemens' parents separated when he was an infant. His mother soon married Woody Booher, whom Clemens still considers his father. Booher died when Clemens was just nine years old, and Clemens has said that the only time he ever felt envious of other players was when he saw them with their fathers. At Spring Woods High School in Houston, he played baseball, football, and basketball. He was scouted by the Philadelphia Phillies and Minnesota Twins his senior year, but opted for college instead.<br />
<br />
Things heated up at San Jacinto College North when he began his college pitching career in 1981. The New York Mets now scouted him and selected him in the 12th round of the 1981 draft, but he did not sign. Instead, he transferred to the University of Texas where he became the first player to have his uniform number retired.<br />
<br />
People were already beginning to talk about the Rocket (as he was nick named). But it was the Boston Red Sox who drafted him in 1983, quickly moving up through the minor league system, making his major league debut on May 15, 1984. Just 2 years later, 1986, Clemens with 24 wins helped the hitherto hapless Red Sox to a World Series berth... while earning him the American League MVP and the first of his record-breaking seven Cy Young Awards. These were glory days for the Red Sox, for baseball, and for Clemens.<br />
<br />
And it was just the beginning...<br />
<br />
This is not an article about all Clemens' awards, trophies and meritorious recognitions; if it were, the space at my disposal would be far less than needed. He won such prizes from the start. He won them consistently. He won them in such numbers that the very number of such prizes won turned into a record all its own.<br />
<br />
The Rocket was flying high indeed, whichever of the 5 teams he was on...<br />
<br />
Boston Red Sox (1984-1996)<br />
<br />
Toronto Blue Jays (1997-1998)<br />
<br />
New York Yankees (1999-2003)<br />
<br />
Houston Astros (2004-2006)<br />
<br />
New York Yankees (2007).<br />
<br />
Everything came his way... money and lots of it, women, recognition, deference, fans shouting his name, glad to be in the presence of a bona fide American legend. He was the hero of America's game... and the nation that idolized him.<br />
<br />
For just such a time, the ancient Romans had someone ride along with victorious generals as they had their magnificent triumphs, "Remember," they warned, "thou art but mortal ."<br />
<br />
No one told Roger Clemens that... and even if they had he might well have dismissed the notion as unseemly, unwelcome, lese majeste.<br />
<br />
But now the ever victorious Roger Clemens was confronted by people who had a very different tale to tell, that the Rocket flew higher and higher not by virtue of God-given talent but because of chemicals in a bottle, injected by his trainer, one Brian McNamee. The Rocket stopped flying high...<br />
<br />
"Juiced" and the Mitchell Report<br />
<br />
Clemens world of privilege and adoration came to a halt in 2005 when Jose Canseco's book "Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits & How Baseball Got Big" was published. The author's claims and charges shocked and appalled the nation... but things got much worse for baseball, and for Clemens, real fast.<br />
<br />
The next broadside into Clemens' world of celebrity and glory came in 2007 when the Mitchell Report was released. It was sober, judicious, unassailable in its charges... and came replete with 82 mentions about Roger Clemens and his use of anabolic, results-enhancing steroids. This was followed by "American Icon: The Fall of Roger Clemens and the Rise of Steroids in America's Pastime," a carefully researched volume by four New York Daily News investigative reporters.<br />
<br />
Clemens was summoned before Congress and there firmly denied each and every allegation, to the incredulity of many. On August 19, 2010 , a federal grand jury at the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. indicted Clemens on six felony counts involving perjury, false statements and obstruction of Congress.<br />
<br />
Clemens pleaded non guilty and so he must remain until the jury says otherwise. The case against Clemens largely hinges on his old trainer McNamee... and Clemens' well-paid lawyers will ensure McNamee is damned, his credibility destroyed. Legal analysts say Clemens will not take the stand in his own defence, since that would open Pandora's box for sure.<br />
<br />
If Clemens loses, of course, he'll be given another number, his prisoner number. But even if he's fully vindicated (which not even the most optimistic expect), he will no longer be the icon of America, the high flyer we all admired and cheered. There will always be the sneaking suspicion that he achieved greatness by great duplicity, lies, and deceptions. A standard of shame that offends, saddens, and diminishes the nation, its tarnished game, and its shameless chemically enhanced players, all inferior to the men of the Cubbies who played the game with honesty and honor. <br />

And it's costing you BIG!By Dr. Jeffrey Lant<br />
<br />
You've told me over and over again that you want to succeed at marketing, because you know that folks who do reap the greatest rewards in business. You also know that one key area of marketing -- copywriting -- must be mastered, and as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
Copywriting, after all, is the ability to select and present the words that get people to stop, pay attention to what you're saying and then buy. Master this, and you get the big bucks; fail to do so and you don't.<br />
<br />
This article reviews the 5 top copywriting errors. Stop making these today; start doing things the right way, the customer-centered way,and I guarantee you you're going to be richer, faster. I know that's what you want... so let's get started turning you into the well-heeled marketer you want.<br />
<br />
#1 Copywriting is about moving mammals.<br />
<br />
Let's be clear with each other. Copywriting is always about getting the people you are contacting to TAKE ACTION. Either you want these mammals to tell you they are interested in your proposition (providing you with the complete follow up details you require)... OR you want them to buy what you're selling on the spot.<br />
<br />
Often inexperienced copywriters add a third category: telling people what you've got, expecting that when the reader knows enough she'll buy.<br />
<br />
AVOID THIS AT ALL COSTS.<br />
<br />
The objective is NEVER, EVER merely to tell your customer good stuff about your product. That's a waste of time and money. As stated, and herewith emphasized, copywriting means selecting and presenting the right words that turn folks either into prospects... or buyers... It's about selling, never just telling.<br />
<br />
#2 Mastering just 4 words delivers copy that sells.<br />
<br />
Top copywriters are well paid because they know the secret of getting people to stop what they're doing... and focus on what you want . Just 4 words can deliver this absolutely crucial result: YOU GET BENEFIT NOW. Let's look at each crucial word, the better to understand their importance.<br />
<br />
YOU -- There's only 1 person who matters when you're writing copy; that is the person you're writing to motivate to act. You must ALWAYS know who that person is. There must be an exact fit between the copy you are writing and the person you are writing for. Yes, the fit must be snug as a glove.<br />
<br />
GET -- People respond and people buy to improve their circumstances. Thus all of marketing is predicated on motivating people to respond to be better off, in other words to "get" the desired benefit.<br />
<br />
BENEFIT -- To succeed in marketing and in writing copy that sells you MUST understand (and write down) every single benefit your product delivers. AND you must be specific about these benefits. The harder, sharper, clearer your benefits, the faster your customers will respond and in the greater numbers you desire.<br />
<br />
NOW -- There's only one time period in marketing and copywriting... and that time frame is -- NOW! Yesterday is history; tomorrow doesn't exist. All there is, then, is NOW...the present, truly a gift to you!<br />
<br />
#3 Make an offer... then make a better one.<br />
<br />
As I write, the world is in the grip of economic doldrums which frighten customers and make them pause before taking action. Thus, uncertainties create caution; caution creates more caution... and more caution produces more uncertainties. What's a good marketer to do in such a climate? Sit down and cry?<br />
<br />
Certainly not. Make an offer... then improve the offer as often as it takes until you've got the offer that will put money in your pocket at once... and carry your business on until better times come.<br />
<br />
The offer, the improved offer, the enhanced offer, does this IF you do it right. Here's what you need to do...<br />
<br />
* Keep thorough records of all your offers that worked. Update and use them again.<br />
<br />
* Look for good offers constantly, including what your competitors are doing.<br />
<br />
* When you find offers (and copy) that look good to you, clip and save them.<br />
<br />
Finally, test offers, keep good records on how they worked... then improve the offer to get even better results.<br />
<br />
ALL copywriters, all marketers, are in the testing business. That's how we learn what works (and so use again) and what doesn't (and so trash).<br />
<br />
#4 Before you write a word, breathe deep and stretch.<br />
<br />
You are about to start writing the best copy of your life, copy that will ring up response after response and sale after sale... because your skills, thanks to this article, have dramatically improved since the last time you were at this point.<br />
<br />
Now, prepare yourself further for what you must do. Get up from your computer. Breathe deep.... stretch... put oxygen in your lungs and thereby assist your brain to prepare for the important work at hand.<br />
<br />
Copywriting is an action game. It is all about energy! Motivating! Uplifting! Inspiring! And above all else helping people and improving their lives. This is a great responsibility, and you owe it to your customers to do it right. After all, you are improving their lives... as well as enhancing your own.<br />
<br />
Makes sure your energy level is high. Remember, you are all about energy and energizing folks to MOOOOOOOVE and take action. This necessitates fuel. You cannot write high energy copy if your body and mind are hungry, unsatisfied and under fueled.<br />
<br />
#5. Now start writing... always remembering that the most important part of writing is re-writing!<br />
<br />
Open with your best offer. Make it clean, crisp, motivating, incredible!<br />
<br />
Then follow with the benefits, in priority order (leading with the best one). Each benefit should be short, punchy, powerful, persuasive.<br />
<br />
Then restate the offer... so you're sure the prospect gets it. Remember, offers get people to respond who had no intention of doing so.<br />
<br />
Follow with product features, always stressing what it can do and how easy it is.<br />
<br />
Reprise your offer in two more places... as a post script and also on the envelope if you're mailing.<br />
<br />
Last point: evaluate what happened and why.<br />
<br />
Copywriting, like life itself, is an ongoing business needing constant review, analysis, rethinking, improving. Thus, no copywriting you do is actually finished until you scrutinize what happened and why. You may not like doing this, but it is essential and no project is over until this is done. But when it is, it's time to congratulate yourself. You now know more... and, if you've followed these directions, have done better. Keep up the good work... and congratulation: you're a real copywriter, on the road to being an expert copywriter, with all the rewards. You deserve them!<br />
