A tattoo artist in Tyler Texas decided to try and attempt to beat the Guinness World Records of giving the most tattoos in one day. Derek Kastning, who is a tattoo artist at Rat-a-Tac-Tat Tattoos started to attempt his goal of breaking the tattooing record at 1 P.M. on October 25. His only concern about beating the world record was that he would run out of people to tattoo during the 24 hour time frame. Surprisingly, he did not have this problem as hundreds of people waited in line outside the building to be part of this great tattooing event. When midnight rolled around they realized they had already beaten the record but wanted to keep going. So at 1 P.M on October 26, Derek Kastning tattooed his last tattoo making the new tattooing world record of 726 tattoos in a 24 hour period. I think this is so cool and how awesome it is for those people who were able to get tattooed during that 24 hour time frame. Although I bet that guys arms, hands, neck and every other muscle in his body ached when he was done at the end of the day. Anyways I just thought this was pretty neat and wanted to share this with all of my fellow tattoo lovers out there. I wonder if this guy gave some sort of discount or something for the people who helped him achieve this awesome goal? If not, I think he should have, after all he wouldn’t have been able to do it without willing participates to tattoo. Your Tattoo Friend Ashley

First a quick press kit overview, a press kit generally consists of a two-pocket folder in which you include your press release, fact sheet, and a biography on yourself and your company. You can also include a photo, some graphics, statistics, visuals, a brochure, a sample list of questions, and a Rolodex card. Some companies include buttons, audio tapes, video tapes, booklets, whistles, trinkets, and all sorts of knick-knacks. You name it and someone has jammed it into a press kit. There are companies that spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on extravagant, expensive press kits. Trouble is most press kits get tossed in the circular file as soon as they arrive at the editor’s or producer’s desk. Most don’t make it past the secretary. A press kit’s travel itinerary generally goes something like this - your office, post office, media outlet office, trash can. Press kits can cost thousands of dollars, which can translate into a hefty profit for many public relations companies. I’m sure that I’ll probably be at odds with most other media relations professionals, but I find most press kits to be a waste of time and money. They’re expensive and usually don’t do the job they’re intended to do. I’ve found that press kits are generally ego-oriented. People want to make a splash. They want to look good. They want to keep up with the competition. Often the head of a company will see a competitor’s press kit and immediately demand that his creative department create one that’s glossier, snazzier, and thicker. But the bottom line is, why do you want a press kit? Press kits can be invaluable when making presentations to clients, or for internal public relations, but think twice before sending them to the media. And never send a press kit out as your first contact. If the media requests to see a press kit, by all means send one. That’s when they should be used and can be effective. But, don’t send out a hundred press kits at random, don’t send them if they haven’t been requested and never send a press kit to inappropriate media.

Have you ever thought why university professors require only custom papers? If your teachers just wanted you to get more knowledge about the subject and learn about various viewpoints they would not ask you to write a custom essay. Copying of someone’s theories would give you enough information about your topic. Custom essays are required because your professors assume that you’ll not simply restate someone’s ideas but, also, analyze them, develop your own point of view and then succeed in discovering new concepts in the future. Therefore, the benefits from ordering custom papers do not only include improvement of grades. Custom essay is the valuable source of innovative ideas which are generated at the highest point of writer’s inspiration. You may think, “Well, if I order 10-pages report on Wal-Mart performance I don’t need any creative approaches in my paper. I just want it to be written in MLA style in compliance with the outline given by my professor.” Of course, if it’s all that you need a writer will follow your requirements. However, imagine yourself as a university professor who has hundreds of students every semester and gives the same assignment every year only changing the name of the company that students have to analyze. Would you be interested to read hundreds of papers about the same stuff but written in different words? What can make your paper unique in this case? The answer is creativity. Creativity makes your paper different from the papers written by other students and that is the main principle of custom writing. Someone may think that custom essays are just regular university papers which require only two things such as knowledge of the subject and good writing skills. However, professionalism or vast writing experience do not usually contribute to outstanding results. There are two factors which really matter; those are inspiration and passion for writing. For instance, imagine that you’re an artist. Your artistic personality allows you to interpret separate events which take place in the world and combine them into one unit showing the wholeness and the connection between all processes in nature. While you present your vision of the world in your paintings it’s not enough to be familiar with artistic techniques or with some works of famous artists. Your painting should reflect your thoughts and feelings and send your special message which is hidden behind forms, figures and colors. The work of custom writers is very similar to the work of artists. You may not notice anything in common; however, if you look closer you’ll discover that a good writer always considers his/her piece of writing as a part of his/her being. Each custom essay that he/she writes is not simply a formal paper with introduction, body and conclusion; it’s, also, a piece of art that demonstrates symbiosis of well-known ideas and fresh spirit. Writing custom essays cannot be compared to a regular job. Writers do not have to come to office at specific time, develop agenda or perform duties and tasks which are usually the same every day. Custom writing is the process of creation that cannot be limited by strict rules and procedures. Custom writing turns every day into a miracle because you discover new facts and develop new ideas. However, this does not mean that writers feel no responsibility for their product or do not care about delivering their service on time. People who are involved in creative work must have a source of inspiration to impress their readers with the results. This simply means that writers who work on custom essays enjoy their freedom which becomes the source of inspiration for them. They work as composers who may wake up at 3 a.m. to record new sounds that they’ve heard in their dreams or poets who can stay up till morning organizing their thoughts on the piece of paper or artists who may stay in their studio for several days because new ideas overfill them. The philosophy of custom essays involves professionalism and ability to think outside the box. Those two principles emphasize the main purpose of custom papers that consists in challenging the customers’ mind. Custom essays should not only meet someone’s requirements but, also, enrich readers with innovative ideas and give them some food for thought.

On wet, dirty streets, Once I heard children´s voices. I went close to them, to see them better. They were shoeless and full of dirt, … but smilling. And their laugh once scared the white doves, What flew away to the infinity, Taking with them the joy, To make it known to the mighty clouds. But, a dove came back on that muddy street, It had a rosebud in its beak; A bud; a flower which will never spread its parfume over the summer nights; A sacrificed flower. The dove looked arround and saw childish faces, And maybe even wanted to stay with them. But it was affraid to see the dying rose. It spread its wings and slowly flew away, without looking back. It dropped a tear in the hights, for having sacrificed a flower; But its heart got up till the clouds, ´cause it did it for childhood. Laura Iancu is a young author on the way to self descovery.

After several years of internet article writing and publishing I have answered blog replies less than a half dozen times. I have never regretted not getting involved with the ranting but I have carefully followed and scrutinized thousands of blogs. What comes of carefully scrutinizing internet blogs besides a flaming headache has become more apparent and predictable then I thought possible only a few short pre-blog years ago. Specialized blogs from internet SEO sites to motorcycle enthusiast’s blogs are interesting only if you are interested in those particular topics, boring if you’re not. Trying to keep my finger on the pulse of America’s social and political trends has forced me to stick close to blogs on news, politics, conservative and liberal rants and religion. Even in these limited categories there are upwards of a ka-zillion blogs and with newbies popping up daily there is no end in sight. No insult intended to the blind or to the decent blog sites but the blind need never fear that they have missed something important. I have indeed come across a few remarkably well pointed sites that could actually add something to your knowledge that might be described as useful. These unusual species of blogs are all too often the exceptions that make the rule. Star Trek creator the late Gene Roddenberry invented a menacing picture of a race of people bent on assimilating whole civilizations and subjecting them to something known as the collective. All the knowledge and culture of each race is assimilated and blended with the other civilizations from around Roddenberry’s imaginary inhabited universe. The Borg seem bent on making what looks all too much like a universal blog a pervasive and inescapable part of everyone’s future. Sailing around endless internet blogs is to me all too much like being assimilated by the Borg. Holding and voicing an opinion may be one of the only American freedoms that are not now threatened, but perhaps they should be…in my opinion. I’m sure it is safe to conclude that having a head full of everyone else’s thoughts with no way to shut them off would be some form of torture. Selecting leaders must be wisdoms way of keeping billions of people from trying to solve a problem from billions of directions. Sounds more like war than progress. One trend is impossible to miss. A clear distinction can be seen between the liberal and conservative blogs that speaks to reaction rather than content. In the conservative blog references are made to other sources such as the constitution, the bill of rights, the Bible particular statesmen etc. Liberal sources of reference usually end with the blogger alone and that not to happily. Another alarming trend impossible to miss is resorting to character assassination and denigration when all else fails. The recent and bewildering tragedy at Virginia Tech is one example. When former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said that the tragedy was a direct byproduct of a liberal and permissive society he was quickly labeled a quack and cyber-tarred and feathered in the blogs. Progressive (liberals) who generally ascribe to the idea that personal morality does not conflict with public service were quick to use Mr. Gingrich’s record of divorce against him. Words like “hypocrisy” and phrases like “double standard” may not be vitriolic expletives but they don’t need to be to bring even the weakest conscience under conviction. Consistency is not one of the paragons of the progressive movement. No big argument needed here only the question of whether left bloggers ever took simple math 101. Let’s see. The end product of a situational ethics anything goes society is what? Oh that’s it…anything goes. No disrespect intended to the victims VA. Tech. but hasn’t “anything goes been making its debut from Columbine to VA. Tech and couldn’t one or more of the elements Gingrich says are the causes actually be responsible in whole or part? Let’s do a little more math. Could Cho Seung-Hui the perpetrator of the Virginia Tech massacre possibly chosen another course of action if he were guided by something other than the “anything goes” dictates of his own mind? Could faith in God, life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, respect for life, ethics courses, common sense or just about anything other than his own mindset have changed the course of events? My simple math says yes to every question. Liberal bloggers come to an entirely different conclusion about both the alternate outcome and the people who suggest it. Perhaps the most disconcerting but constantly produced side effect of liberal bloggers that I’ve seen in years worth of observation is the unfailing final resort to profanity and expletives when all else fails. When the best wisdom can no longer be refuted the character of the blogger is attacked. In an all out last ditch effort, leftists seem to fall back into profanity and name calling. The right bloggers only recourse to this oft repeated sudden decent from intelligent discourse to childish name calling is perhaps equally childish but nevertheless effective I’m speaking namely of “sticks and stones will break my bones but…” I needn’t cite specific examples because of the ka-zillion blogs that are using this tactic there are scarce few I would advise a peace loving and relatively normal person to visit. In my personal ethical economy that would be wholesale unkindness. It would be like inviting the American public to line up for voluntary assimilation into the Borg collective. Years of checking the blogs has helped me to understand the meaning of words penned by Statesmen Cullen Hightower who said “Wisdom is what’s left after we’ve run out of personal opinions.” Rev Bresciani is a Christian author and a columnist for several online sites and magazines. His articles are now read in every country in the world. For articles and news from around the world visit “The Website for Insight” .americanprophet.org
<title> From the Wisdom Vault… Ten Tips for Ezine Success As you consider writing or sit down to write your ezine (or blog) have you ever thought “I’m not a great writer and I don’t know what to say.” I thought the same thing when I began my coaching business. Now, I publish two weekly ezines, on a blog on the way, have two lucrative ebooks out, and a Wisdom Vault full of valuable articles on the Prosperous Coach website. It all started with my little ezine Coaching from Center five years ago. (I only wish I’d started sooner!) Writing is a gateway skill — a tool that, if honed, can make you wildly successful. So, if you are willing to improve your skills while you write, develop an ezine now for your niche market. It may attract more people to hire you than any other method of marketing. And this little effort now will pay you well later. How can you make your ezine work for you? The trick is to treat your ezine like a long term asset for your coaching business. The Ten Tips For someone to open your ezine and read it through, the topic has to be perceived as valuable, brief and easy to read. For your ezine to be an effective marketing tool, you must do more than write it and blast it out to your list now and then. Here’s how easy it is to make your ezine the fastest credibility builder and sales vehicle you have: 1. Be Consistent Give your ezine a congruent look and format and post each edition to go out on the same day and time of the week. This one arrives at inboxes Monday at 4:00am ET. If you find it difficult to be consistent, make it a priority to get on track. The most effective ezines are delivered like clockwork. Weekly or bi-weekly editions are best for marketing. Don’t bother with less than once per month. 2. Stay Brief and Relevant Include only one short article of 300 - 800 words. Make the topic bite- sized, timely and useful to your niche market. For help coming up with topics, see these two articles in the Wisdom Vault: Easy Steps to Ezines .prosperouscoach.com/members/110.cfm Mining Sample Sessions for Gold .prosperouscoach.com/members/111.cfm 3. Craft a Compelling Title The title should make the topic clear. Include the date and topic title on the subject line to increase open rates. 4. Connect with Your Readers Show them that you understand what’s important to them. Think like a blogger and use very short stories about yourself as an intro to the topic. Then, connect it to the top challenges and desires of your niche market. 5. Make it Easy to Read Write short paragraphs with clever bolded subheadings. Use bullet points and numbered lists. Italicize or bold key phrases or sentences. Have it proofread with a test delivery before you publish. 6. Make it Easy to Act Every ezine should have a call to action — a tip to apply or a next step to engage with you, the author. Make it simple to buy or enroll in a product or program. Include an easy Send a Copy to A Friend method so your list can grow with the help of your subscribers. 7. Market often! If you only market once in a blue moon to your list, it will be a shock to your readers when it happens. It’s better to market something — a product, a teleseminar, or sample session — in at least one edition per month. Link to full details on your website. 8. Make Marketing Relevant Make sure the topic of the article relates to what you’re selling so you lead your readers to take action. 9. Analyze Each Edition Learn something new from every ezine you send. Monitor and improve open and click through rates. Use an email campaign company to manage your list. Aweber has a proven high deliverability rates, lots of simple educational tools, and cost only $19.95 per month! .aweber.com/?217806 10. Never spam anyone! Use a double opt-in system. Your homegrown list is always going to convert better than a purchased or borrowed list because the subscribers are pre-qualified. Provide an easy unsubscribe link (any reputable campaign company should have this built into the form). And here is a bonus tip: Plan to re-use your articles by posting them in ezine directories, blogs, and other newsletters for your niche market. Make sure you have a compelling by line and bio with your website address and a copyright notice on each article. Then, repurpose your writing again into products. For detailed support creating ezines, get the ebook Working Websites for Coaches, and read this Prosperous Coach article: Website and Ezine Checklist .prosperouscoach.com/members/141.cfm May your writing bring you more prosperity! ***** Copyright ©2008, Bubbling Well Inc.
