Anniversary Gifts - Forty-Fourth Anniversary

By Michael Russell Have you been noticing that the anniversary gift ideas over the past few years have been a little off the beaten track? Well, it doesn't get any less strange for your forty-fourth anniversary. Most likely as the list makers were getting to this end of the list, they were just running out of ideas. If you think not, just try on this year's offering for size. What exactly is it? Well, you're going to be taking your spouse to the supermarket. That's right. This year's anniversary gift idea is groceries. You know, those things that you get at the local Pathmark and bring home to fill your stomachs with. Well, this year you get to make those groceries a special anniversary gift for your lovely wife or handsome husband. If you're scratching your head wondering how you're going to pull this off, we've got a few ideas that should do just the trick. One idea is to go on a shopping spree. No, not just take a trip to the supermarket. A real shopping spree complete with gift certificate and all the trimmings. Considering how expensive groceries are just for a normal day out shopping, you're going to want to make that gift certificate out for a sizable amount. We'll leave that amount up to you, but just remember, $100 barely feeds a family of three for a week these days. So you probably want to make that certificate out for at least $250 if not more. You can offer to go with your spouse on this spree or let him or her go alone. Make it their choice. If the idea of the shopping spree seems a little corny, what you may want to do is have certain groceries delivered to the house as a surprise. If you really want this to be an eventful day, call up a number of different places that maybe specialize in different kinds of foods and have them all make a delivery at different times during the day. Make sure your spouse is home the whole day. That way, each time the doorbell rings and there's another delivery person at the door, there's another surprise to go along with him. The trick here is not to have too many different deliveries. Three or four should be fine. After the fourth one, the whole thing might get a little old. You want to keep the element of surprise. The second delivery will actually be a bigger surprise than the first one as your spouse will figure that one delivery was the whole gift. You will get a great reaction to this gift. Of course, if you want to keep the whole thing simple, you can just go out yourself and pick up a few special items from the grocery store that you normally don't get. For example, if you've been putting off getting that lobster tail because it is too expensive, now is a perfect time to get a few. The only trouble with this year's anniversary gift is that eventually it will be gone, but at least you'll enjoy eating it while you can. Michael Russell

Neuropeptide - Amino Polypeptide Skin Care Comparison

By Jean Bowler To determine why neuropeptide products are different
from other effective antiaging skin care treatments
on the market, we first have to determine
the difference between neuropeptide and amino
polypetide ingredients. Neuro- and pentapaptides are both
peptides but neuro refers to the very specific functions
of this peptide group, while penta merely refers to the
size of certain peptide molecules. Peptide seems to be the IT word in antiaging skin creams
today. We have copper peptides, amino-polypeptides,
hexapeptides, pentapeptides and now neuropeptides. And then
there are all the variants like acetyl hexapeptide-3 and
palmitoyl pentapeptide (a.k.a palmitoyl oligopeptide).
The list is virtually endless and very confusing to the
non-biochemist. Let me try to help you wade through some of
the jargon. A peptide is simply a small protein which is made up of amino
acids. Peptides are active at very small doses, are highly
specific and have a very good safety profile when used
physiologically that is, to assist or change an organisms
physical processes. If we take apart some of the peptide labels
above, we can begin to discriminate among them. The use of amino in amino-polypeptide is a bit redundant
because all peptides are made of amino acids. The poly just
means this is a peptide of several amino acids. A hexapeptide
is a chain of exactly six (hexa) amino acids; a pentatpeptide
is a chain of five (penta). One chemist working with a
palmitoylated five-amino-acid-chain peptide named it palmitoyl
pentapeptide, while another chemist studying the same molecule
called it palmitoyl oligopeptide. This is a legitimate, though
less specific, label since oligo means few. And so the
confusion grows. The term neuropeptide is a bit more helpful in that it
actually describes the function of the peptide. Neuropeptides
act as neuromodulators, neurotransmitters, neurohormones, and
hormones. Research into neuropeptides has exploded in recent
years to the extent that there is a scientific journal named
Neuropeptides whose aim is the rapid publication of
original research and review articles, dealing with the
structure, distribution, actions and functions of peptides in
the central and peripheral nervous systems. What is exciting about neuropeptides is their power and reach.
Other neurotransmitters transmit central nervous system
signals in one direction and along a path from A to B.
Neuropeptides transmit omnidirectionally outward and can even
direct transmissions in reverse. As neuromodulators, they can
activate and deactivate other neurotransmitters. The
scientific mind boggles at the potential. The names of some of the neuropeptides may be familiar and
help you to understand the potential of unlocking the secrets
of these peptide molecules. Neuropeptides are grouped into
families based on similarities in their amino acid sequences.
There are the Tachykinins; the Insulins; the Somatostatins;
the Gastrins such as cholecystokinin used to diagnose
gallbladder and pancreatic problems; and the Opioids such as
the enkephalins the bodys own opiates or painkillers. As to how neuropeptides might affect the skin,
an abstract in the July/August 2003 Brazilian Annals of
Dermatology states: There is increasing evidence that
cutaneous nerve fibers play a modulatory role in a variety
of acute and chronic skin processes. Local interactions between skin
cells, skin immune components and neuronal tissues occur
specially through neuropeptides Neuropeptide-related
functions on skin and immune cells, as well ...nerve fibers
in cutaneous inflammatory responses, hypersensitivity
reactions and dermatoses, namely psoriasis, atopic
dermatitis, leprosy and alopecia." Now that you know that a neuropeptide has a function in the
central nervous system and that a pentapeptide might also be
a neuropeptide (having five amino acids in its chain) but not
all neuropeptides are pentapeptides, how can you decide
whether to pay the extra money for the exciting new
neuropeptide creams? You want some evidence that they are
sufficiently more effective to justify the higher price, right? In sorting through all the peptides currently touted for
antiaging skin care, I decided they can be placed into one of
three groups depending on the amount and quality on the
published research and development behind their use in skin care. Some peptides have a lot of published scientific research behind
them. They were developed for medical use and because of their
success, found their way into antiaging cosmeceuticals. Copper
peptide falls into this group since it has been studied and
employed in wound healing since the 1970s. Palmitoyl
pentapeptide also falls into this group. Doctors were already
prescribing Strivectin-SD for stretch mark and scar removal when
clinical studies of its superior wrinkle-reducing properties
were presented at the 20th World Congress of Dermatology in 2002. Other peptides have been developed within the cosmetic industry
and quickly brought to market. The companies are careful to
make no medical claims in order to avoid the lengthy FDA review
process for a drug. Argiriline, a.k.a. acetyl hexapeptide-3,
falls into this group. There is a lot of anecdotal evidence that,
similar to Botox, it reduces a muscles ability to tense and form
deep lines of expression. Customer reviews are quite positive
and more companies are incorporating the ingredient into their
treatment lines. In the third group are peptides that are very new or are
proprietary and not widely available. Dr. Nicholas Perricones
neuropeptide creams fall into this category. His neuropeptide
variants all contain the prefix CL. No research labs I could
locate are studying or making the CL variants. Of course, as we
saw above in the case of palmitoyl pentatpeptide, he may have
just given an already known neuropeptide a different name. The consumer has little to go on except Dr. Perricones word.
That is, unless you consider his track record and broad
following. He hasnt yet failed to deliver. His previous
antiaging developments have met with broad acclaim and his
three books have been on the New York Times Bestseller list. Dr. Perricone explains his work with neuropeptides in his third
book "The Perricone Promise" thus. In 'The Wrinkle
Cure' and 'The Perricone Prescription', I introduced a
major theme of my research: the Inflammation-Disease-Aging
Connection. Because inflammation is a great contributor to
accelerated aging, it has been an important focus of my ongoing
scientific research. And we now know that neuropeptides and
peptides play an important role in mediating inflammation. Jean Bowler has been a fitness freak all her life. She has danced and taught ballet and been a personal trainer.

Increased Prospecting Means Less Rejection

By Steve Chambers When new distributors start their businesses they typically work on a part time basis and understandably dont have as much time as someone who has made a decision to work their business full time. Time does not determine success---activity does. There is nothing wrong with working part time, but it is critical that new recruits understand that their success can be tracked back to the level of activity that they put into their business. The facts show that most new distributors quit their businesses within the first few months because they become frustrated over the rejection that invariably comes from working in our industry. I had a recruit that was gung-ho when she first started working her business part time. She would diligently call 10 people a week and invite them to her house to see her business presentation. A couple of them actually showed up to the presentation but did not sign up. The others simply did not show up at all nor did they bother to call her to cancel their appointment. She was crushed. She continued in this mode for a few months, and sure enough, her pride wounded she ended up quitting the business. Her friends and her professional relationships were more important to her than being beaten down. As leaders in our industry, we are told to reassure our new prospects that it is not about them and to not take rejection personally, but we are all human creatures and that is easier said than done in real life. Rejection comes from many different sources and since new distributors typically work from their warm market when they first get started, it is family, friends, and business associates who are the first to start beating on your new distributors and begin to steal their dreams and their business building efforts. That is why it hurts so much when we get our first dose of rejection from our initial prospecting efforts. Because it is our warm market that is rejecting us, it is as if they are invalidating our desire to take control of our lives and create a new future for ourselves. While all of this is normal for first year recruits, they need to understand the best way to get around this problem is to increase the number of people they prospect to. Talking to more prospects will lead to more new reps which will lead to greater feelings of accomplishment and thus minimize the feelings of rejection. Great, Steve, thanks for sharingbut how do you increase the number of prospects you talk to once youve blasted through your warm market and your ego has had so many shots of rejection fired through it you feel like a block of Swiss cheese? Well, you could try to implement the 3-foot rule. Isnt that what your up-line has been telling you? Everyone is a prospect. If they are within three feet of you and they are breathing, theyre a prospectright? There is nothing like some good ole belly to belly networking. Get back with me, Dr. Phil, and let me know how that is working out for you. You could try cold calling prospects in your area and hope to find someone looking to buy what you have to offer. Just grab your local phone book and start calling people. I mean its all about numbers isnt it? That seems simple enough, right? While I am sure you will talk to lots of people, I doubt is you will see an increase in your closing ratio that would justify the time you would spend making all those cold calls. There is a better way and if you stick with me Ill share it with you. All of these things happened to me and all of my new recruits until I learned the secrets revealed to me in the Power Call. I learned things that my up-line NEVER shared with me. I shared the information I learned with my down-line and unbelievably, our closing ratios are going to go through the roof! The information revealed in the Power Call will never be shared to you by the up-line in your business because it is counter to what the company plan says. They want you to follow their training plan. They want you to follow their methods for success. They want you to follow their lead and their lead only. They tell you that success is imminent if you will simply follow their plan and dont quit. Thats a bunch of crap. Here is the truth. Most networking companies know that 95% of their reps are going to give up and quit. In fact, most of them are counting on it. Industry statistics are rather alarming and will bear this out. And if you really crunch the numbers, it becomes apparent that these companies cant possibly have all of their reps earning the big bucks. The systems are designed to only support the few big dogs that you see on stage while the rest continue to work the easy plan of get three and they get three or some other such system. Ive been down that road myself, and then The Power Call revealed to me the techniques and methods needed to explode and expand my business to the tune of 3-5 new reps per day. I dont know about your comp plan, but I certainly knew what that meant to me and what it would do to MY comp plan. - No more bothering friends - No more bothering business associates - No more hotel meetings - No more home party presentations - No more 3-foot rule - Etc. I urge you to take advantage of this FREE information right now by going to www.abc4mlm.com and find out how to explode and expand your business. Increasing the number of prospects you talk to will certainly lead to fewer rejections, but more importantly, your feeling of accomplishment will sky rocket as you add highly motivated people to your business day in and day out. I repeat; highly motivated people that are ready to accept what you are offering. So, leave your warm market alone. Leave that guy sitting next to you on the airplane alone. Leave that lady at the checkout counter alone and leave that guy in front of you at the bank alone. Learn the secrets and you will find your efforts will really pay off using a much easier way. Reserve your seat on the next Power Call to change your business and change your life. To you, my fellow network marketer, I wish you unbounded successes. Steve Chambers

High Nutritional Value Carp Bait Design

By Tim F. Richardson So how do you sort out the best baits to hook big carp these days? So-called food baits are very commonly used in carp fishing these days, especially where extreme fishing pressure on many waters means that using quality nutritional bait equals success instead of failure. But how would you make an effective homemade carp bait by using the optimal proven nutritional protein food ingredients levels? What is the starting point for working out what ideal bait protein levels are? Carp have essential carp dietary requirements for proteins, and the aim is to provide a balanced profile of amino acids in your bait. This sounds technical, so a scoring system is used to measure the nutritional biological value of an individual ingredient. It is best to notice that this value is based on digestion by humans. There is little data of this type from directly testing carp baits in carp digestion. However the latest and most accurate method of measuring biological nutritional value, and most importantly for carp baits, food protein nutritional value is the new American measurement called: The fixed dietary protein percentage. When we mention protein carp baits its often misunderstood that the amount of protein type ingredients we use in our baits need to be in very high levels to be effective, as in the old high protein baits. Such protein baits were estimated to have a carp biological convertible protein content as high as 75 % protein or even as high as 95% protein! This content was often achieved by using milk protein extractions and derivatives such as casein, lactalbumin and sodium caseinate, among others, mostly having a protein value, in human consumption of over 70% protein. Since those times it has been observed that carp baits with much lower protein values are very effective in both the long and short-term. Today baits are often made with an estimated carp convertible protein content of just 30%, but are still termed high nutritional baits and in fact are superior in design to the old high protein baits because their nutritional properties are more balanced and efficiently used by carp while maintaining very high attraction. The dietary protein a carp essentially needs, can be tested scientifically, using a mixture of high quality casein and gelatin, supplemented with crystalline amino acids. This is fed to the carp in graded levels, and over time, the carp are measured for optimum growth per graded protein level. All this can be shown on a graph with Growth Response (vertical line), and Dietary Protein Level (horizontal line). There will be a Maximum Growth Response at the point where the Optimum Dietary Protein Level is reached. In carp nutrition tests, its called the Break Point and allows for the fixed dietary protein percentage to be calculated; as a percentage of the carps essential diet. This is the type of figure that is used to design specific proprietary, carp and koi dietary feeds. Please notice, in the tests, food fat content was always supplemented when not present in sufficient levels in the protein and carbohydrate sources. These provide essential fatty acid groups, needed especially for cell wall structure and maximal protein synthesis, among other uses. Fat levels never read over 5 % to 10 % and averaging 2.5 to 5 % of the total dry feed. There are health consequences for fish as a result of excess fat in bait, for example Vitamin E deficiency. The protein to carbohydrate to fat ratio is extremely important in producing the healthiest carp; resulting in optimum protein digestion and assimilation. This converts to the fastest carp growth and weight gains. More energy is released in digestion when the protein, carbohydrate and fat levels are in optimum levels. This balance has proven to catch more big fish in the long-term. Anglers have found they caught as many carp on baits of only mid-low protein, for example: 40 % to 60 % protein, as a bait of very high, protein 85 % for example. However, much below 30% protein, (for example 25 %,) and the catch rates started to drop by comparison to higher protein baits. The subject carp bait nutritional value bait success, hinges around the carps essential daily dietary requirements and key dietary deficiencies. If a carp water is very rich and carp have very few dietary deficiencies, then the bait that offers the best nutritional value at the least energy in digestive cost would most likely achieve the most success long-term as the carp will instinctively gain benefits from the bait an this encourages them to keep eating it. This would be a big advantage over using low nutritional value bait on the same rich water. A great diversity of carp baits are being fed to the fish on many carp waters today. And in amounts that were unheard of 25 years ago. There are many more carp anglers feeding up the fish with free baits these days. Consequently, the fish in different waters respond differently to this free food. This reaction may depend more on the water quality, or availability of natural food, or on the consistent level of fishing pressure or on high or low stock levels. Some waters will still produce bigger fish, regularly on poorer quality baits or instant attractor flavored carbohydrate based baits. By far the majority of big fish waters, certainly the pressured ones in the UK and in Europe, produce the very biggest fish more and more consistently on nutritional food baits. This is no coincidence and relates back to carp essential dietary requirements that must be met for basic survival. This does lead to many big fish treating nutritional baits as an essential naturalized food supply since they are fed them permanently 24 hours a day on many hard pressured waters! So in remembering that a low protein, carbohydrate based bait may only contain: 6 % to 14 % protein, as in the case of a semolina based bait for example. This is not enough to sustain a big carp healthily without supplementation with other nutrients and natural foods sources. This is compared to fish meal based bait for example, with high levels of predigested protein ingredients incorporated. Such bait is far superior nutritionally and big fish will tend to eat this preferentially, especially in a highly stocked fishery. So, by providing carp with the optimum ratios of nutrients at the least digestive energy cost, gives more energy to the carp to eat more food, therefore giving you more opportunity for more takes and more fish! Arnold Schwarzenegger built his body using the principle of a high nutritional value diet with an intense exercise regime. He regularly consumed the highest muscle convertible biological value proteins, like whey and caseins. Such dietary supplements represented the very highest quality available to body builders in the world, at that time. He consumed high levels of carbohydrates, only for extra energy, while he trained, so that his protein nutrition was maximized and converted for repair and growth and building of those huge muscles to win his Mr Universe Titles! A very high profile UK fisherman, Julian Cundiff, achieved outstanding and very consistent big carp catch results for years, by regularly feeding his waters with high nutritional value food bait. This approach was used extremely successfully, and the bait ingredients he used remained basically unchanged for years. It was designed using the balanced protein food and amino acid profile bait principles, derived from scientifically proven carp dietary requirements. The appliance of scientific research may sometimes be hit and miss and there are certainly few proven absolutes in carp bait making and nutrition, due to lack of direct scientific testing. However, nutritional carp baits have proven themselves by their catches over the decades, and the ability to understand, make and correctly apply these baits, is a massive edge in big carp fishing indeed. The author has many more fishing and bait edges up his sleeve. Every single one can have a huge impact on catches. (Warning: This article is protected by copyright.) By Tim Richardson.

Wedding Photography And Video

By Rafi Michael Your wedding is one of the most pleasant and memorable events of yourlife. It is once‑in‑a-lifetime event. This is the day you remember for years to come. You spend a significant amount of time planning for this day. After months of anxious waiting for this day, it finally arrives. From the time you wake up till you say bye to your last guest, you hardly get the time to think that it is actually happening. Then you find that the event is over and what you are left with is all your memories of the day. Every time you think about it, you start living those moments again and again. This is the time you realize why it is so important to have a professional photographer and videographer on that special day to capture those magical moments of your wedding. These people capture an d create the unforgettable images and video that will be treasured for years to come. As you won't be able to look at all corners of the reception hall at once to catch all of the special moments of the day, it the duty of a professional photographer to take care of all that. After years, it will be priceless to watch and listen your friends and relatives just as they were, gathered around you on this day of days. Your wedding video also tells the true story of your event from start to finish. V ideo is a great way to capture the moments of your event forever. It preserves the moments exactly as they happened. A videographer follows alongside you in your closest moments to capture all those personalities that make the day special for you. Event photography and videography are two sides of the same coin. They run in parallel to each other. Event photography runs in many sessions throughout the day. It is not just limited to the wedding ceremony and reception. It includes informal engagement, pre‑ceremonies at home or site, formal group photos of families and guests and a lot more. Event photography is like an art which demands proper equipment and the right skills. It requires the person to be creative and effective under pressure. A professional event photographer has all the training and experience required to create unforgettable images and preserve the memories of your event day. He has in depth technical knowledge of all aspects of conventional and digital photography. To select the right event photographer and videographer is vital in ensuring that your event runs smoothly. As soon as your event date is finalized, you should start your search for a professional photographer and videographer. At this point, it becomes difficult to decide which one to choose for the day. What's good for one may not be the best option for another. A lot of your friend and relatives might tell you about different photographers, but whomever you choose, it is important to feel comfortable with the person. He should be someone whom you can trust as well as enjoy his or her company. When you ask for photographers' portfolios for sample work, it is better to look for whole event albums. An album from beginning to end is much more accurate representation of a photographer's work. Try to judge the photographer's style from his work. Try to search for the images where the photographer has shown the alertness to capture natural spontaneous images. For videography, inquire about the type of video camera and technology that they will use. Use of highest quality technology such as wireless microphone in videography provides a better sounding movie throughout the video. After you have selected a photographer and videographer, discuss about the prices, deposits, packages, quantity of pictures, etc. Most studios offer a number of packages to work within your budget varying in number of hours, images, and a definite number of final pictures in an album. Better photographers charge the higher rates. After you have finalized the photographer and videographer, discuss your event day schedule with them so that everything runs smoothly without confusions. After the event is over, receive proofs from your photographer so that you can choose your favorite images to be developed and enlarged. You can also purchase the additional copies in the future as photographers keep the negatives for a specified number of years. Rafi Michael Offers Toronto Wedding Services .

Read This First if You Are Considering A Tummy Tuck

By Morgan Hamilton Do you love going to the fitness gym? Maybe you are one of these fitness nuts who do not get out of the gym. How many times do you go to the gym? I guess you are one of these avid people who go to the fitness gym at least five or six days a week. Or you are constantly trying to tune those abs and slim down those thighs and avoid having to get a tummy tuck. In fact, if you love to go to the gym, it is okay. I cant say the same for the fitness nuts, but anyway fitness will help you stay healthy and live well. These types of physical exercises are very very good for your cardiovascular system and therefore for your health and well-being. Actually, some people are not satisfied with the results they get from the fitness. I guess they need results that are more radical. So they start looking for something other than what fitness can provide for them. They think that a proper diet and a good fitness routine are not enough. So what should they do then? Fortunately, there are other choices these days. If you think you need a more radical change, you can have it! It is all about how far you are willing to go for your dream. Lets assume that you want a flat stomach badly. Then I will ask you a simple question. How badly do you want that flat stomach? If you think that you want flat stomach more than anything, I am sure you are willing to have plastic surgery. If you can afford plastic surgery, nowadays you can change your body completely in the way you want. Do you need a tummy tuck? Actually, do you know what a tummy tuck is? In fact, do you know anything about a tummy tuck? Are you familiar with the procedure and its possible consequences? Id better first ask you an easier question. Do you know anything about plastic surgery in general? Actually, plastic surgery is a very tempting part of the contemporary medicine for many people or at least it is a successful industry nowadays. So many people from all over the world, who are completely different in age, religion or nationality, are heading to the plastic surgery clinics seeking various types of plastic surgery. In fact, do you have something you want to change in your body? Personally, I am quite satisfied with what God has given me but most people are not. I must admit that after watching so many TV shows, which describe and show plastic surgery, I wont even think of having any change in my body ever. However, the truth is that many people cannot reach this satisfactory point. Such people have usually become deformed because of giving birth, an accident, or whatever. For example, a mother of four wants to tune abs but she cannot because she has stretched tissue. In such case, her only choice is tummy tuck. The tummy tuck is a surgery procedure when surgeons slice off unwanted tissue in order to make the tummy flatter. Now, you have to think twice and tell me whether you desire a tummy tuck or any other type of cosmetic surgery procedure. Do you still want to change something in your image? I must remind you that the tummy tuck is a painful procedure. However, if you think that no other procedure will give you the needed results than go for a tummy tuck. Morgan Hamilton offers expert advice and great tips regarding all aspects concerning Tummy Tuck. Visit our site for more helpful information about Tummy Tuck and other similar topics.

Motivating Shoppers with Online Coupons (Part 2 of 2)

By Gary Gray Last time we discussed how online coupons and promotion codes can motivate buyers. We discussed examples of coupons and some of the aspects of these offers that can boost sales and generate urgency to a purchase. Today well focus on how to create great landing pages and the use of affiliate programs to further enhance your marketing efforts. Creating good online coupons to offer customers is not the only thing you need to do to maximize your sales. Using an enticing landing page that meets the customer with the deal theyre being offered is also an effective tool leading to a sale. There are two ways that let the customer know the benefit of the coupon theyre using, and both can be equally appealing choices. Option 1 to creating an appealing landing page for a coupon is to restate the coupons terms and offers and to reiterate the promotion code that needs to be entered upon checkout. This way the customer knows they are getting the deal they had anticipated receiving, and makes them aware of potential expiration on getting the discount. As we discussed in our previous article, that sense of urgency is a good way to provoke your shoppers into a buy mentality. Option 2 takes this a step further by automatically applying the coupon at checkout, so when the customer gets to the checkout page, their discount code is applied and actively showing them their deal. This also benefits the customer because they dont need to go back to get the code, where they can be distracted from the point of purchase. By adding something to the landing page like Your 10% coupon code will be automatically applied at checkout in a highly visible area, you are able to keep customers from being confused about what theyre getting. You can also use cookies so the next time they visit, if they remember their coupon, they will be more likely to realize they can still get a great discount. Affiliate programs can also be beneficial when used with coupons to promote your products or sales. New and expiring coupons are littered on coupon web sites throughout the internet bringing more attention to you! Just check out this coupon code homepage for an example of who can be displaying your coupon. In addition, many affiliates will be happy to promote your store when you have a great coupon code or promotion to offer. These high traffic sites bring a ton of added exposure and drive a large customer base of shoppers ready to buy - you know this because they clicked on your coupon! Another secret tip to getting affiliates to put your coupons on their homepage is to increase commissions temporarily upon proof of good placement. Sometimes these affiliate sites can get many more buyers than your own! Coupons have migrated to the web in a big way, and should be a part of any serious marketing campaign. If you arent using online coupon codes and one time deals to promote your site, youre missing the boat on driving incremental customers to buy your products. Gary Gray

Bass Tactics For Delaware's Lums Pond

By Steven Vonbrandt Lums Pond, located just off Rt. # 71, in Kirkwood Delaware, is a 190 acre state park, with a very shallow launching ramp, and has room for about 25-30 vehicles with trailers in the main lot by the launching ramp. There is a daily fee at sate parks, or a yearly pass can be purchased at any of the park offices. This is a prime location for bass anglers in the spring and summer, and receives fairly heavy fishing pressure, from weekend anglers and tournament fisherman. Although it has a lot of pressure, there are still quite a few big bass in Lums, along with a decent population of Hybrid Striped Bass. If you follow these steps, you can still connect with a real trophy in Lums Pond this spring. "Wood Cover" There is quite a lot of wood, laydowns, and cut off stumps in Lums. Most of the wood is located on the left and right hand sides of the main lake, right after the beach and docks, about 1000 yards up from the launching ramp. The first area to try is the laydowns on the right, as you head up past the beach. This area is overlooked by a lot of anglers, but is a good location for largemouth's in the two to four pound range. This same area also holds quite a few Striped Bass hybrids that run around six pounds on average, but some in the eight and nine pound class have been caught here. You can't go wrong by flipping a black/blue jig, with either a blue Uncle Josh Pork trailer, or a Sweet Beaver trailer. Both have worked real well flipped into the laydowns along both shores in this area. The North shore receives the most sunlight in the spring, and as a result, warms first. I like to use a seven foot, Falcon graphite rod, with a Shimano Chronarch, spooled with twenty to twenty-five pound test. Flip all the laydowns in this area, working each one of the branches moving from the outside in, right up to the shore. If this area doesn't produce right away, move across the lake to the other laydowns, and work them the same way. When you can't get a hit in this area on the jig, often, you can move off this area a little farther, and rework the same areas with a 3/8 ounce Terminator spinnerbait in Golden Shiner, with tandem blades. Make as much contact with the wood from as many different angles as possible. Keeping a buzzbait rigged for this area is a good idea, and many times, repeated casts to the same areas over and over, at different angles will provoke a reaction strike. "Points and Drop-offs" Although it is common knowledge that bass will stage on drop-offs and points this time of year, all drop-offs and points aren't alike. Look for drop-offs and points that are nearest to the main channel, preferably on the North shore, that contain some type of new vegetation growth under the surface. There are several areas that are eight and nine feet deep, but the average depth is four feet, with some of the shoreline much shallower. The water is very stained to muddy, so the bass will go very shallow to feed. Don't be afraid to cast right up against the shore in the very shallow water. At first glance, Lums doesn't seem to have a lot of grass, algae, or emergent weed growth, but there is a wide variety of aquatic vegetation under the surface that hold lots of baitfish, and bass! One of the best spots to connect with some big largemouth's and hybrids is the sand point and drop-off just across from the dog training area. Work this area well with a white/chartreuse spinnerbait and long shad colored minnow baits, such as a Husky Suspend Jerk, or a Rattlin' Rogue in blue/chrome,or a Lucky Craft "Pointer". Last year working this point, and the one directly to the north of the cove with a pier, we caught more than eight bass in the three to five pound class, with a couple of nice six pound Hybrids thrown in. "Buzz the Flats" Don't forget the buzzbait in the spring. When the water warms to sixty to sixty-five degrees, the buzzbait will draw tremendous topwater explosions on overcast days,and sometimes the whole day. Many times in April, we started with the buzzbait early in the morning, looking for active fish, and never switched baits all day. Some days of twenty to twenty-five fish, are not uncommon at all, with most in the three to four pound class. The best areas for the buzzbait in Lums are located on the flats that are adjacent to deep water. A good fish locator, such as a Lowrance, that is made for shallow water performance, is a great tool to have when you first start to explore Lums, as it is one of the larger Delaware Ponds. Head straight up the lake from the launching ramp until you get to the upper end of the lake. There will be a cove with a fishing pier all the way up on the right. Work this area with repetitious casts using a double-buzz, in black, and a clacker type buzzbait, such as a Terminator Ball Buster or Charon Klacker buzz, in 1/2 ounce, with a trailer hook. Many times here you will get a lot of short strikes due to the muddy water. A trailer hook will increase your hookups greatly. Stay well off shore here, and make as many as thirty casts, from different directions, before moving on. Make sure to hesitate just a second when the bass strike, and set the hook hard. I like to use a 7 foot Lews Crankin stick, or a G.Loomis Crankin stick with seventeen to twenty pound test for this type of fishing. "Cover Water" When all of the above methods fail, start covering water. Sometimes the bass are still a little off shore in the early spring, and covering water quickly, until you get a strike, is a good idea. The best lures for this are 1/2 ounce chrome/blue Rattlin' Rapalas. Position the boat a little off shore, and cast out to the drop-offs and weedlines, retrieving it back with a pumping motion, raising your rod from a 9 to 12 o'clock position. Make sure the hooks are really sharp. When you locate the fish, work the area slowly with the lipless crankbaits, spider grubs, and a 4" Senko." Follow these tips for Lums Pond this year in the spring, and you will get a quick start to a "trophy year." Later in the afternoon, the area directly across the lake from here contains a lot of overhanging trees, and a lot of stumps. These stumps can't be seen until it's too late. So make sure you have a breakaway mount on your electric motor, and keep the outboard up out of the water. There is a no-wake policy on Delaware ponds, but you can use the outboards. The bass in these heavily pressured areas become conditioned to sounds more easily, as they can't rely so much on sight, due to the muddy water. So keep the trolling motor on low, and try to avoid any banging around in the boat. I have caught bass with the trolling motor on, but most of the bass above five pounds were caught with the trolling motor off. Keep these things in mind this year at Lums, and you will connect with the bass you are looking for. Most people get on the water too late. Start in mid to late March, or as soon as the water temperature gets to around forty-eight to fifty degrees. All the baits discussed in this article are available at www.delawaretackle.com.

Holy Communion Party Games that Work for the Kids

By Gail Leino The Holy Communion occurs at intervals, but the most important Holy Communion is the first one that a child undergoes in their church and to make it fun for the child too have a few holy communion party games afterwards. This is a very special occasion, so much so that many parents choose to throw a small gathering or party to mark the occasion. These two games are appropriate Holy Communion Party Games geared towards using up all that excess energy kids usually have. Tipping the Orange This is a fun racing game to get everyone involved at the party. Get lots of oranges and large sized spoons for this Holy Communion party game. For each round have two guests pair up to face off against each other. Youll need some room outside for the two opponents to move around in. Each contestant gets one orange and one spoon. Be sure to set down the ground rules before you get started. Such as no tripping, pushing or shoving. Each opponent must try to knock the orange off the spoon the other opponent has it balanced on. This can be by tapping the underside of their opponents spoon or trying to push the orange off their opponents spoon, but no shoving. Keep that in mind and everyone will have a fun and energetic time at your Holy Communion party games. Name Echo: At your Holy Communion party games, you can use Name Echo to help the guests, both adults and kids, get to know each other. To start the activities have everyone get into a circle. Then begin this Holy Communion game by having the communion boy or girl call out their name and then starting a wave motion by raising their arms in the air. Everyone repeats this joyful motion starting with the person to the left of the communion boy or girl and going all the way around the circle, just like an ocean wave. While these games are just simple activities that get everyone moving around, youll be surprised at how much fun the guests have while playing your selected Holy Communion party games.
