Trump Magazine

Trump
 
by Larry Dobrow, Tuesday, July 25, 2006
I BELIEVE EVERY TV celebrity, A-list or D, should have a magazine to call his or her own. I constantly find myself wondering about Larry King's fitness routine. I'm interested in learning Sharon Osbourne's thoughts on renewable energy sources. I'd pay $5.99 for any publication in which Robin from "The Real World: San Diego" waxes philosophic about both the real (world) and the fake (breasts).
 
So yeah, Trump is by a wide margin my favorite publication of all time--which, to anybody who knows me even casually, shouldn't come as much of a surprise. Like Donald, I boast a closet full of shoes tailored from the finest reptile hides. Like Donald, I "think big [and] live large," just like it says right there on the cover. Like Donald, I've never hesitated to trade in my galpals for newer models when their leases are up. Truly, I am aglow in Trumpiness; I am nothing if not a clump of Trump.
 
This magazine makes it possible for me to enter the master's universe, if only for a few brief, inky moments. In the summer issue of Trump, I bask in the glory that, come 2008, will be Trump Tower Philadelphia. I learn about how "Saturday Night Live" player Darrell Hammond admired Donald's work ethic during his guest-host stint. I even chortle gaily at the delightful house ad for the magazine itself ("subscribe... or you're fired!"). See, that's whimsical because on "The Apprentice," Donald's catchphrase is "you're fired!" Whimsical!
 
But all this pales beside the cover profile of Donald spawn Ivanka. Alternately described in it as "lovely," "impossibly lithe" and "smart as a whip" (a triple threat!), Ms. Trump charts out the course for modern trust-fund femininity over the course of a mere five pages. Oh, to be a Calphalon non-stick omelet pan dangling above her kitchen island... wait, does that make me sound like a perv? In any event, I suppose it's within the realm of possibility that a more incisively objective profile will run in a major American publication this decade, but the Ivanka piece sets the bar impossibly high--as high as the 64-story tower Donald is currently erecting in Las Vegas, which may or may not feature a Megu restaurant.
 
If I have one complaint about the summer issue of Trump--and mind you, it's a teensy, insignificant one--it's that there's simply not enough Donald in it. Sure, we're treated to pix of Donald with Mrs. Donald and Donald with members of The O'Jays and Donald with Katie Couric, a feature on Donald's shiny new Philly tower, factoids on Trump University, the revelation that Donald "last year admitted to trying out the [Honma golf] clubs to Travel + Leisure," a graphic depicting how every reality show copies "The Apprentice," and assorted plugs for Donald's signature collection of watches and his Trump Marina hotel and his other Atlantic City properties and his Atlantic City "Apprentice" penny video slots and his West Palm Beach golf club and TrumpTheMag.com and Trump The Fragrance and Trump Mortgage and Trump Vodka.
 
But otherwise serviceable items--about the evolution of panama hats, the business moxie of Kiss bassist Gene Simmons and new design trends in prefab housing, not to mention a well-chosen excerpt from Alvin and Heidi Toffler's Revolutionary Wealth--are fatally marred by Donald's absence. And while the magazine boasts a handful of genuinely creative photo flourishes (diamond-studded watches set against a backdrop of diamonds, a meticulously arranged spread of super-luxe accessories), I can't think of a single good reason why Donald himself wasn't tapped to model the goodies. Well, except if maybe he had a meeting or something. I hear he's quite strapped for time nowadays, what with the demands of applying for trademarks on all things Trump.
 
In short, if you love and admire Donald Trump as I do, Trump is the one magazine you can't live without. Less a publication than a beacon of light and hope in this topsy-turvy world of ours, Trump makes Vanity Fair look like a steaming pile of muskrat turd.

Men's Fitness Magazine

Men's Fitness

by Fern Siegel, Wednesday, July 26, 2006

THIS month, Men's Fitness has a striking cover boy who looks like an actor. And, in one of those life-imitates-art moments, he is. James Marsden of "X-Men: The Last Stand" and "Superman Returns" is Grade-A beefcake prime: the abs, the chest, the arms. And men, take note. Sure, women want you to be smart, sensitive and have a good sense of humor. But rippling pecs can't hurt.

According to MF's cutline--"why the best man wins"--a lean, rock-hard body is only part of the package. This isn't a body-building mag, rife with megavitamin and protein supplement ads. To its credit, MF stories on cutting fat and gut loss are health-driven and accompanied by sex tips to keep the ladies happy. Plus, "Get Sauced" rates BBQ sauce in a sassy way, though the "Best Shot" list of potent, low-cal drinks raised an eyebrow. Grenadine, Sambuca and Baileys save on calories? Then again, I salute any man brave enough to order one of these at Hogs & Heifers.

In the Q&A section, the queries are instructive. When women ask men "do I look fat?" they're really quizzing them on the state of the relationship. It's no time to suddenly declare a love for size-2 models. Should you keep the salmon skin on when grilling? Yes, it adds flavor. And yes, a heavy backpack is a big fat no. Personally, I applaud the editors for addressing the gestalt of a man's life. Of course, there are the requisite categories--sports, fitness, nutrition, tech and grooming--but the approach is friendly and accessible, along the lines of everyone can do it, dude.

"Sports Zone" provides quick updates from biking to baseball, while a sidebar on radar equipment ends on this delightfully kitschy note: "These four will not only protect you from the po-po [police], they'll look great on your dashboard next to Hula Jesus." Bobby Flay contributed the meal-of-the-month recipe--grilled spicy filet mignon salad (which I ripped out) and the ultimate margarita, with an overhead shot that makes the idea of bathing in one enticing.

Also, good news for women who find bulked-up guys scary, since you can't help wondering if he takes steroids with his Cheerios. The next generation of action heroes is "thin, sexy and toned. Not too big, and not too ripped." That announcement is courtesy of Greg Joujon-Roche, Hollywood trainer to the stars, who gave Brad Pitt a Greek god's physique in "Troy." Brad's biceps were thanks to a rigorous five-day-a-week regime that took no prisoners. As Roche notes, you don't get that body from beach runs, so to all you med students on summer break: stick to the books.
Just under the Roche report is an interview with Brian Dee from the "Fast and Furious" movies. He says women are drawn to confident guys with a kick-ass car. And most of these women, Brian, are 17. Grown-up women are much more impressed by a man with a positive outlook, healthy portfolio and the ability to iron his own shirts.
Finally, because men, like women, enjoy shopping, there is a "Men's Mart" section--watches, videos and a ROM exercise machine that delivers an "excellent cardiovascular strength and flexibility exercise in 4 minutes per day." So what if it looks as if it were designed by H.G. Wells for time travel; it's four minutes a day! It's also $14,615, which means Brad Pitt is its target customer.
But for every 100-pounder who didn't make the football team, cheer up: James Marsden has been there. A lonely Oklahoma boy who girls didn't notice grew up to be the new breed of up-and-coming star. At 32, he's a character actor who says he began living once he had kids. He's devoted to his wife and family, though I'm sure two hit movies do wonders for the ego. Still, the interview, which focuses on his home life vs. stardom, is typical of MF's style. Its tone, slick design and feel-good ethos score.
In keeping with typical men's mags, MF ends with a pinup shot of actress Olivia D'Abo, who earns a centerfold and brief story. But it's done in a sexy, tasteful way and her dating advice to men is worth noting. A little cheesecake, a touch of beefcake and a lot of good, solid information makes MF a winner.

E-Book that Will Earn You 100k

World's 1st E-Book that Will Earn You 100k without Spending 1 More Cent - Unveiled
World's 1st and only E-Book that earns a 100k without spending 1 more cent is unveiled. The only E-book said to lay the foundation and afford individuals to an invitation to join a marketing group that will train individuals through the process without them spending no more money when plan is followed.
Salida, CA, July 01, 2006 --(PR.COM)-- It's not a money game, or a get-rich-quick scheme. In fact, the concepts and methods utilized here are actually unique and truly amazing. In a network, marketing, and sales industry riddled with smoke screens and hype, it is virtually impossible to determine who is real and who's fake. According to business critics, 90% of online/offline business start-ups and maintenance are either to pricey, or may be priced to low so you get what you pay for, and lastly, the unsuspecting victims will probably be the best customers disguised as affiliates, representatives or business owners. With MLM, Network Marketing and all the issues that come along with business building such as list building, sales, marketing, recruiting and the likes most people lose momentum before they really get started. More and more money going in and not enough coming out can be a real bummer.
This is why Plan4Power and the E-book "The Internet Primer" were born, to change the way businesses are built along with paving the way for setting leading industry standards. Whether interested individuals have a business or not it can be easily added to their current mix. A real solution to the age old problem of running a business all with NO hype, NO selling, NO telling, and NO more out-of-pocket expenses. Sound impossible? Well, maybe not. Plan4Power is a marketing group, not a company and does not directly represent any outside company, product or service. Plan4Power represents and is loyal to its group members and its only product, which is the E-book "The Internet Primer". This E-book is said to be the Gateway not only to lay the foundation of earning a six-figure income through multiple streams and leveraging but also provides a wealth of knowledge. Along with the E-book comes many perks, and personal invitation to join the Plan4Power Marketing Group that will fully support and show its members how to achieve this all with no additional expenses and no risk.
Co-Founder of Plan4Power, Bruce Grone raves the E-book and stated The Plan4Power Group is the Mobile, Agile, Group with an Attitude.
The E-book is only $25 and now available at http://YourPlan4Power.org
So, basically it is up to "The Public" to decide. Could this be the best thing ever heard of in the marketing today? Is this the only book on the planet available to buy that not only lays a foundation, but also affords the opportunity to do so without having to invest one more penny? Hey, if it is everyone should know about it.

Bloody Christian Thorn Cap Causes Pain, Embarrassment, Laughter

New Christian Head Wear Sweeping U.S.
 
Preacher’s Kid Apparel (PKA), unveiled the “The Official Cap Of Christians,” during the recent Azusa Christian Conference, has taken-off and is sweeping U.S. churches, religious groups and Christians.
 
Los Angeles, CA, June 30, 2006 --(PR.COM)-- Preacher’s Kid Apparel (PKA), unveiled the “The Official Cap Of Christians”, during the recent Azusa Christian Conference, has taken-off and is sweeping U.S. churches, religious groups and Christians.
 
At first glance, the Cap Of Thorns is without question a new and refreshing headwear accessory for Christians. Many are amazed of the subliminal message it projects, and the impact it makes when worn. It’s been dubbed, The Official Cap of Christians because, unlike other religious head garment’s, it can be worn by: men, women and children. What makes the Cap Of Thorns so unique are the detailed 2-D embroidered thorns and hints of blood drippings, that go continuously around the base of a custom fitted baseball cap, which are made of a cool and lightweight polyester mesh fabric.
 
Preacher’s Kid Apparel, CEO, Mark Hill says the idea to create the caps was given to him by God, after he accepted God’s call to move back to his home church in Cleveland, Ohio, where he grew up as a Preacher’s Kid, to continue where his grandparents left off - spreading the word about Jesus Christ.
Hill states: “When God gave me the task to design it (Cap Of Thorns), I couldn’t believe it and I didn’t know where to begin. After doing some research, I’d learned the technique and the design had never been done before, but I had faith and knew that it was part of the commandment that God wanted me to undertake. I know when God commands you to do something, and gives you a vision, like the Cap Of Thorns -- you obey”.
 
During the Azusa Christian Conference, Hill stated “there were attendees from over 100 countries, who knew right away the Cap Of Thorns were a gift from God”. Hill adds, “the Cap Of Thorns takes a lot of faith to wear, and it will test your faith in Jesus Christ. When you wear the Cap Of Thorns, it supports your belief and will actually make you rethink the WWJD question, when you’re faced with everyday life situations.”
 
Single cap purchases are currently available at amazon.com, while bulk purchases for reseller’s and Churches are available via their website by emailing sales@preacherskidapparel.com. Hill adds, “We are eager to work with Church Organizations to develop custom fundraising programs”. Currently national distribution channels are being set-up, with desires to develop global distribution networks in early 2007.
 
Preacher’s Kid Apparel is also seeking donations and sponsorship support to continue its mission to spread the word of Jesus Christ, and develop a variety cap styles and fabrics.
 
For inquires, please email mhill@preacherskidapparel.com. http://www.preacherskidapparel.com

Paste Magazine Review

Paste

by Larry Dobrow, Tuesday, July 11, 2006

IT HAS TAKEN ME some time to work my way around to reviewing the June/July issue of Paste that I grabbed a few weeks back. Mostly I've had difficulty digesting the mag's assessment of Elvis Costello as the eighth greatest living songwriter.

Eighth? Behind Brian Wilson, last seen wandering around the "Hollywood" sign in a muumuu and slippers? This is sacrilege. I acknowledge the unvarnished majesty of radio ditties like "I Get Around" and have read many, many times that "Pet Sounds" is a lush, glorious slice of California blah blah blah. But one guy remains as creatively vital now as he was at the start of his career in 1976; the other just got around to finishing a record he started in 1966. Can we take it easy on the lifetime-achievement awards? Please?

(To answer your question: Yes, of course I'd prefer writing about music to writing about magazines. Hiring? I need comprehensive dental and a generous short-pants allowance.)

Anyway, if the June/July Paste provoked one-seventeenth the reaction in most readers that it did in me, the mag's editors clearly did their job. The "100 Best Living Songwriters" compilation, the issue's centerpiece, does everything a super-listy cover feature should. It presents compelling arguments for each of its inclusions, a glut of lyric excerpts, a few sober nods to songwriters no longer with us (Jeff Buckley et al) and top-tens from tastemakers/music dorks like Cameron Crowe.

The list's supporting stories are slightly more hit-and-miss. The features on XTC's Andy Partridge and producer/songwriter/Elvis Costello's bestest buddy T Bone Burnett offer fresh insight into underrated performers, but the Dylan-music-as-a-soundtrack-to-some-dude's-life memoir rambles. Nonetheless, you can't argue with the overall comprehensiveness. If you take your tunes seriously or if you just need some fresh fodder for debate with your pals, leave Paste on your coffee table and let the sparring begin.

(Patty Griffin over Ray Davies? No Freedy Johnston? Shame on you.)

I'm not as sold on the rest of the issue. On its cover, Paste touts its search for "signs of life in music, film & culture." To mangle a lyric by Jim Steinman (happily left off the list), one out of three ain't bad. Paste's coverage of film and culture, while notable for its passion and occasional intellect, isn't in the same ballpark as its music content; I'd estimate the music/film/culture ratio at something like 70/20/10. Either go full-throttle with the film and culture, or ditch it altogether. An ostensibly high-thinkin' title like Paste shouldn't waste its time, or ours, flagging the release dates of "Click" and "Nacho Libre."

While travel columnist Hollis Gillespie adds welcome bite (her recounting of a trip to "fall-of-the-wall"-era Berlin begins, "It's generally not my policy to piss off drunk people--especially foreign-speaking drunk people surrounded by broken bottles and stolen bikes"), other featured writers in the June/July issue fall into the stodgy-old-person-yearning-for-the-good-ol'-days trap. The front-of-book "Scrapbook" features a whine-tastic essay on the use of music for commercial purposes; the exegesis on roller derby contains the same babble about "china-doll gladiators" that you've read 4,200 times before.

Then there's the "Before the Music Dies" feature, which lost me with its subhead ("Idealistic filmmakers take the mainstream-pop assembly line to task"). A suggestion: if you don't like Jessica Simpson's contributions to the cultural canon, simply ignore them. I'm sure she won't take it personally.

I'm similarly split on Paste's music, book and DVD reviews. On one hand, the level of thought that goes into them trumps anything you'll see in, say, Rolling Stone. On the other, the reviewers seem to have left their critical faculties at the door: of the 60-odd CDs evaluated in the June/July issue, around six are assigned fewer than three stars and none are treated to the type of rhetorical thrashing that Lester Bangs used to mete out with happy regularity (R.I.P, Creem). It's a tough world out there, kids. Things occasionally suck. Acknowledging this, in music reviews as in pre-trial motions, can be quite liberating.

Paste does more things right than it does wrong, and presents its content quite stylishly (though the dimly lit, detail-free photos of the Raconteurs hunched over their guitars might as well be some random kids in a suburban garage). But until the mag either bolsters or entirely eliminates its film and cultural coverage, it won't escape multi-genre purgatory. It's a case of what top-living-songwriter appointee Robby Z. might call "mixed-up confusion."

Pills have become a way of life

 
Why Have We Become a Prozac Nation?

Pills have become a way of life.

(PRWEB) July 14, 2006 -- Without a doubt, our world has become more complicated. Stress, anxiety and insomnia have become a way of life for many of us, and in turn, we are all reaching for pills to alleviate the symptoms.

When did this trend begin? And as a result, how many of us are now taking medications that we have tried to stop -- without success?

Only three years ago, Alesandra Rain, co-founder of Label Me Sane, was addicted to a cocktail of medications. She was not someone who doctor-shopped or took them other than how they were prescribed. But over a ten-year period, she watched her health deteriorate.

“I was prescribed a tranquilizer first, as I couldn’t sleep,” states Rain. “As time went on my body grew accustomed to the medication and I needed more. By the end, I was on seven different drugs and I could no longer sleep at all,” concludes Rain.

This is a common occurrence, as nearly half the public are on at least one medication, with many on multiple drugs to diminish their anxiety, depression and insomnia. The use of drugs such as Prozac, Paxil, Wellbutrin, Zoloft, Celexa and Cymbalta are common occurrences. But also what is used even more frequently is the tranquilizer class of medications, such as Ativan, Ambien, Xanax, Klonopin and Valium. Unfortunately, the sedative class medications have a high addiction rate and can be extremely dangerous to just quit.

Alesandra sought help to withdraw from her medications, and when her efforts proved unsuccessful, she quit cold-turkey in a treatment center. It was the horrific withdrawals that drove her to found an organization to help others, while also working with doctors and researchers to develop a program that would assist others with a gradual step-down off the meds.

“It has been the most rewarding experience,” states Rain. “Last year alone we helped thousands of people all over the United States and on four continents, and the best part is that the supplements we use were specifically designed to support brain function and to help the body minimize the withdrawals,” concludes Rain.

This is a silent epidemic, as most will not admit they are taking a behavioral drug. Yet it is common for individuals to express a loss in their spirituality, creativity and cognitive function.

Rain’s experience on the medications and her journey back to health is chronicled in her novel "Deeds of Trust." She is an international speaker and author who has dedicated her life to help others avoid the life threatening withdrawals she suffered.

For more information on how to withdraw safely or for natural solutions for stress, contact http://www.pointofreturn.com or call tollfree 866.605.2333.

National Shortage Of Dummies Hurts Book Sales

 
Internet Business News: Wealth System for Dummies

There really is an internet business that lives up to its claims. “For those looking for just an extra $500 per month, sorry it could be much more!” says entrepreneur direct marketer John Karstetter.

(PRWEB) July 13, 2006 -- The 1 Step System© has proven itself to be a “steam rolling wealth generator”! For those who simply listen to the Free 37-minute teleseminar and recognize that it could change their lives will seize the opportunity to join this business. Anyone can successfully do the business. Aristotle Onassis once said, “You are not truly wealthy until you are making money in your sleep!” 1 Step System practically runs itself, 24/7, says John Karstetter www.wealthsystemfordummies.com.

This is a proven turnkey system; don’t try to “re-invent this wheel!” The Ultimate Marketers Toolbox provides the roadmap to success for both the beginner and the experienced marketer. The system totally eliminates the biggest fear of 98% of the population, “Selling.” The secret to success with the 1 Step system is the 37 minute teleseminar that does all the selling for the customer. The guiding principle is all the customer needs to do is invite people to the call and let co-founder Rod Stinson sell the system. The more people on the call, the more success for a 1 Step System owner. Find out for yourself where the 1 Step System gets it name.

The greatest aspect about the marketing system, says John Karstetter is that “the call not only allows people who don’t want to sell, earn thousands of dollars a week, but allows marketers like him to leverage their time in order to make more money, even while sleeping, out running errands or other daily activities.” Like a well know infomercial slogan, you simply set it and forget it!

Know someone who has been fired, excuse me downsized? A stay at mom or dad needing extra income? A single parent? Know someone who has lost most or all of their retirement nest egg from corporate scandals? I know someone who was just about to retire at Enron, his expected comfortable retirement, All Gone!

7 Habits of Highly Effective Verteran Home Owners

LowVARates.com Unveils 7 Habits of Highly Effective Verteran Home Owners

LowVARates set out with a goal to show future and prospective veteran homebuyers how to effectively manage themselves prior to applying for a VA loan.

Provo, UT, July 12, 2006 --(PR.COM)-- LowVARates has worked with Veteran Home Owners for many years. LowVARates has found that many future or prospective home owners, whom are in the process of looking for a home, don't quite understand how important it is to prepare themselves for owning a home.

Getting approved for a VA mortgage should be very simple, however  most veterans don't understand the basic rules and or principles that could guarantee them a much better chance of getting approved.

Here is a compilation of the 7 most influencial and important traits of a GOOD VA borrowers and home owners.

7 Habits of Highly Effective Veteran Home Owners!

1.  Make on time payments. For a full 12 months prior to buying a home make every single payment you have on your consumer credit ON TIME! A VA mortgage does not require a high FICO credit score, as a matter of fact you can get a VA loan with no FICO score at all. However, the VA does require that you show a full year's worth of on-time payments. Think about it, if you can't make a cell phone payment on time, what are the chances of making your mortage payment on time?

2.  Don't carry a high balance to available credit. It is very bad looking if you carry high balances on your credit cards or other debts. Assume you have a credit card with a maximum credit limit of $3,000. However, if you are showing a monthly balance of $2,800, then this will hurt your credit worthiness. VA mortgage companies want to see that you have been granted credit by others, because this shows you are capable of borrowing money and paying it back, however if you are always carrying around a large balance then you appear to live to the maximum and thus again you are labeled a bit more risky.

3.  Don't close your credit cards/lines. A very misunderstood fact about loans in general is that a home owner will appear better if they pay off all their debts prior to applying for a VA mortgage. This is completely untrue. Banks/lenders want to see that you are able to receive credit from others and that you can control that credit. If you close all your accounts it appears as though something bad has happened and you had to get rid of all your debt. This act alone can greatly damage your credit. Use your credit cards, but use them wisely. It is recommended to charge them up a little then to pay them off each month.

4.  Keep a stable job. It is very important that you are not jumping from job to job especially if your jobs have nothing in common. I basic principle in getting into a VA mortgage is to prove to the Lender that you are not RISKY and if you are going from car mechanic to insurance agent, then you appear as though you are still not sure about your career choice and essentially make yourself appear as a risk.

5.  Apply early for your Certificate of Eligibility (COE). You can download the form right from our website by going to our links section. If you are already working with a preferred VA mortgage company assigned to you by LowVARates then there is a chance they have ordered you one offline via ACE. It is imprtant to understand that even if you are approved for a VA loan, that without your COE form you cannot get a VA loan. Your COE is the VA's was of proving to the lender that you have served sufficient time in the military and are eligible for a VA loan.

6.  Work with a Real Estate agent. Many people think that it is a waste of money to work with a Realtor because of the fees involved. It is important to realize that only the seller pays the real estate commissions and that the veteran buyer does not pay the real estate commissions. We suggest using an agent because it will make negotiating a good price and getting the seller to pay some or all of your closing costs much easier. Buying a home with a VA loan can seem difficult at times but a good mortgage company like our preferred partners and a good real estate agent can make the process much more simple.

7.  Work with a preferred partner or preferred lender from within our network. Perhaps the biggest key to succesfully buying a home with a VA loan or refinancing your current VA loan is to use a mortgage company that fully understands VA loans. Working with a preferred lending partner of LowVARates will ensure you that your va loan process will flow smoothly from start to finish.

LowVARates.com is proud to be filling a void in the online mortgage information industry.  They feel that too many veteran home buyers are forced or coerced into NON VA loans and if they had worked with a more qualified VA lender or been more educated themselves on VA loan products, that these veteran home owners would be in a better loan today.  It is their goal to bring VA home loan approval to more veterans than has ever been done before.

Car and Driver Magazine

Car and Driver
 
by Larry Dobrow
 
May 9, 2006 - CAR AND DRIVER RANKS as perhaps the least imaginative publication I've come across in my hitch as a magazine reviewer guy person. It showcases cars. It speaks to drivers. Those interested in the "automotive lifestyle" (driving gloves! vintage Quaker State t-shirts!) or deep ruminations on the family-appropriateness of certain models need not apply.
 
And gol-dang gosh gol-darnit, that's the way it oughta be. I stand firmly opposed to exclusion based on ethnicity, race, religion or height--on many a sad night did I find my puny younger self turned away from the Wildwood, N.J. Tilt-a-Whirl--but enthusiast magazines should erect huge, imposing barriers that keep out the dilettantes. Subscribers should have to prove their worthiness via a series of rigorous written and oral examinations. Newsstand buyers should be required to flash bar-coded ID cards and undergo retina scans before being allowed to pluck an issue off the shelves.
 
Until the day when such measures are technologically and constitutionally feasible, I guess we'll just have to settle for self-policing of the sort Car and Driver does so ably. The magazine doesn't come out and announce, "Johnny Sunday Drive, you are not welcome here." But just about every word and image in the June issue practically screams it.
 
Take the "Steering Column" editor's note from the alliteratively named Csaba Csere, in which he bemoans Ford's decision to water down an internal division devoted to factory-tuned performance models. The column is so detailed and densely reasoned as to scare newbies away; hell, I'm not sure I got its general gist, and my reading-comprehension skills rank in the top .000000001 percent of the adult male population. Lesser intellectual lights simply have no chance.
 
The sub-hed for that story reads "Ford drives its 13-year-old SVT group off a cliff," which brings me to another of Car and Driver's charms: its writers don't hesitate to layeth down the smack when the situation demands it. The June issue boasts three Chevrolet ads, yet a review of the Chevy Impala SS notes that the car "looks great on paper but fails to satisfy in reality." Ford receives both the aforementioned slap as well as the smug dressing-down (in a Futura Sprint Wagon review) that "too much variety can be constipating." Yet pages later, the mag enthusiastically points to several Ford models manufactured overseas that could help turn around the automaker's domestic fortunes. This is a title that has editorial credibility to burn.
 
As for the test drives, I'm not a car guy--I ask nothing of a vehicle beyond getting me from point A to point B without any Dave Matthews songs on the radio--so I can't judge them on technical merit. I'll say this, though: they are remarkably comprehensive and persuasively written, appended with charts, specs, measurements, turn-ons, turnoffs and just about anything else an aficionado or savvy prospective buyer could want. I'm so swayed, in fact, that I'll pass on the too-easy fart joke prompted by the headline "Divine Wind." Oh, wait.
 
The June issue also does well when it gets out from behind the wheel. A visit with dune buggy godfather Bruce Meyers injects warmth and personality, while writer Mark Hughes asks Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher all the right questions--even if Schumacher dodges the interesting ones about his future in the sport.
 
Car and Driver might, however, want to eliminate its sporadic attempts at humor. In one of the "Ms. Goodwench" 'toons, a mechanic guy lies on his back, aiming upward with his camera as a woman holding a pie approaches him; the caption reads "stealth 'worm's-eye-view' photography." I don't get it, times ten. Then there's the photo of a guy passed out in the back of a Rolls-Royce Phantom with a bunch of (seemingly unopened) champagne bottles nearby, which is captioned, "The senator later claimed he wasn't drunk but had, in fact, merely been shot by the vice-president." Hoy-o! Next issue, the mag should dive deeper into the trenches of obscure, non-obvious humor and insinuate that maybe, just maybe, Jessica Simpson ain't all that bright.
 
Since Car and Driver doesn't go for the giggles too often, such lapses don't compromise the mag's laserlike focus on auto performance. Straightforward and straight-faced, the publication rarely deviates from this winning formula. It's really that simple.

Free Legal Encyclopedia

 
LegalView.com Announces Its New, Free Legal Encyclopedia

LegalView is a new, easy to use, free legal-information resource, for ordinary people seeking information on legal issues and controversies. This new site provides general legal resources such as a legal dictionary and legal encyclopedia, in addition to information about specific legal issues such as mesothelioma and unsafe drugs.

Denver, CO (PRWEB) July 11, 2006 -- LegalView.com today announces the addition of its new Legal Encyclopedia, based on Cornell University’s WEX Encyclopedia. The encyclopedia joins the Legal Dictionary, Legal Directory, and massive legal bookstore as part of a free “everything legal” service bringing legal information and legal resources to ordinary people.

LegalView provides two types of legal information. First, the general legal resources, allowing people to look up legal terms and legal definitions, and to seek legal information through a wide range of legal resources; LegalView’s directory includes many thousands of links to useful online resources, for instance, from legal publications and blogs, to lists of expert witnesses and paralegal services. It also contains a bookstore, with information about tens of thousands of law-related books.

Secondly, LegalView provides information about specific legal issues and legal controversies. For instance, LegalView’s
mesothelioma area contains articles about this tragic disease, providing asbestos-related legal information, links to books about mesothelioma, recent press releases and newsfeeds about the subject, and more.

LegalView has information about almost a hundred such legal issues, from class action lawsuits, to unsafe products, from well-known legal controversies such as those related to
Vioxx and Bausch and Lomb’s ReNu, to lesser known issues such as Benzene contamination. In each area articles written by LegalView.com’s staff explain the issues in simple terms, while additional, extensive information is provided in the form of press releases, newsfeeds, useful Web sites, government-related articles, and so on. Many of the legal issues also have associated videos, in which an attorney discusses background and details related to the issue. These are often confusing subjects of interest to many people; LegalView tries to cut through the clutter and confusion to help people find the information they need.

LegalView’s new Legal Encyclopedia contains information about many general legal terms and subjects, such as employment discrimination, affirmative action, and even the Geneva Conventions, currently a particularly topical subject. It joins the Legal Dictionary, which defines literally hundreds of legal terms. Just what does In Personam mean? What is a blawg? If your lawyer uses the term Stare decisis, what does he mean? These and many other questions are answered in LegalView’s legal dictionary.

The Legal Encyclopedia is just the latest addition; in the months to come LegalView will be growing, adding many different forms of law-related information, with the aim of helping people understand the law and the legal issues that affect them.

Marketing Book Says Customers Behave Like Cats

 
“Waiting for Your Cat to Bark?” Bursts Onto Best Sellers Lists

Bryan and Jeffrey Eisenberg's book “Waiting for Your Cat to Bark? Persuading Customers When They Ignore Marketing” is climbing on the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today Money best seller lists.

New York, NY (PRWEB) July 11, 2006 -- "Waiting for Your Cat to Bark? Persuading Customers When They Ignore Marketing," the new book by Persuasion Architecture™ creators Bryan and Jeffrey Eisenberg, has emerged on several best sellers lists. It is currently number 2 on the Wall Street Journal Business list, number 4 on USA Today Money Best Sellers and number 13 on the New York Times Hardcover Business Best Sellers.

“Selling the book and making all these best sellers lists is exciting, but the really exciting thing for us is to see folks read and use the advice and examples in the book,” says Bryan Eisenberg.

“Waiting for Your Cat to Bark” evolves from the premise that customers behave more like cats than Pavlov’s dogs. They don't salivate upon demand or buy because they're bombarded by ad campaigns. Customers have become much more selective. The Eisenbergs have developed a new marketing methodology, Persuasion Architecture™, where businesses redefine how they communicate with customers by leveraging the power of increasingly interconnected media channels. “Waiting for Your Cat to Bark” provides a framework for preparing businesses to manage and respond to customers' demands.

"The Eisenbergs have developed a proven methodology for selling in this new environment where the old marketing rules no longer apply. This book will change how you think about marketing. It may even change how you think," said Rebecca Lieb, Executive Editor, The ClickZ Network.

"Finally, someone has offered direction for how to market in this new era where the customer is in control," explained David J. Reibstein, William Stewart Woodside Professor, Wharton Business School of the University of Pennsylvania and former Executive Director, Marketing Science Institute.

Click on this link to download a few chapters of Bryan and Jeffrey Eisenberg's new book “Waiting for Your Cat to Bark” or visit Barnes & Noble, Amazon or Booksamillion to order a hardback copy.

New Book Guarantees Email Deliverability Increase

 
Secrets to Email Deliverability Revealed by ISIPP

SuretyMail provider releases book revealing how to increase email deliverability and avoid the junk folder.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) July 10, 2006 -- The Institute for Spam and Internet Public Policy (ISIPP), providers of the SuretyMail email accreditation service, has released a new book guaranteed to help email marketers and other volume email senders to increase their email deliverability.

"The Email Deliverability Handbook: Getting Legitimate Email Delivered in a Spam-Filtered World" is authored by ISIPP's president and CEO, Anne P. Mitchell, and goes on sale to the general public on Tuesday.

Plummeting email deliverability rates are a problem which plagues even the most diligent of email senders in an ever-escalating war against spam. In order to trap the maximum amount of spam, ISPs and spam filters must err on the side of caution, and consequently a lot of legitimate email is accidentally tagged as spam, and delivered to the junk folder instead of the inbox.

With a money-back guarantee, "The Email Deliverability Handbook" promises to help any legitimate email sender to avoid the junk folder and improve the delivery rate of their email.

"Accreditation with an email accreditation service such as SuretyMail is critical, but only part of the solution," explains Mitchell. "Many of the most important steps to ensure high email deliverability must be taken before the email is ever sent. It is this information that "The Email Deliverability Handbook" provides, along with clear, easy-to-follow instructions and examples."

Mitchell, a long-time veteran of the email delivery wars, is one of the original anti-spam experts. Prior to running ISIPP she founded Habeas, one of the very first email deliverability companies, and before that was Director of Legal and Public Affairs for MAPS, the original anti-spam blacklist and first commercial anti-spam company.

"I've seen the issue from both sides, and so I know what both email marketers, and ISPs and spam filters, want. More importantly, I know how to get legitimate email delivered."

And "The Email Deliverability Handbook: Getting Legitimate Email Delivered in a Spam-Filtered World" is already garnering rave reviews from the experts.

"This is THE email deliverability resource manual for marketers and techies to get permission-based email delivered. The one and only complete best practices guide for marketers and techies on the subject of email deliverability," said Tom Kulzer, CEO of email delivery monitoring company Delivery Monitor. Kulzer, also a principle in AWeber, one of the largest email marketing auto-responder companies, added "It contains the most complete set of email deliverability tips I've ever seen gathered in one place."

"Email gone astray can spell disaster for lawyers and their clients. Attorneys, their staff and especially the IT departments of law firms, would do well to read and take to heart the concise information presented by a true expert in this field. The small cost will be repaid over and over. The information makes good sense and recommendations are efficient to implement," observed Russell Waters, Chairman of the Practicing Attorneys Liability Management Society, Inc., and CounselCounsel.com.

"The Email Deliverability Handbook: Getting Legitimate Email Delivered in a Spam-Filtered World" goes on sale to the general public on Tuesday, July 11th, and may be purchased through ISIPP at http://www.isipp.com/email-deliverability-book.php.

About the Institute for Spam and Internet Public Policy

The Institute for Spam and Internet Public Policy (ISIPP) is a privately held corporation headquartered in the heart of California's Silicon Valley. ISIPP provides email accreditation for email senders through its SuretyMail email accreditation service, anti-spam resources for email receivers, and expert analysis and consulting services to legislators, governmental and regulatory agencies, industry leaders, and the press.

Internet Revenue Expert, Joel Comm, announces the release of the software tool used to make the highly successful sponsored-link page, 500Words.com. With The Link Sizzler, anyone can create a niche-oriented page that draws sponsors and visitors.

Edmond, OK (PRWEB) July 3, 2006 -- Joel Comm, The Internet Revenue Expert, today announced the public release of The Link Sizzler, the same tool that was used to create the highly successful sponsored-link page, www.500Words.com.

The Link Sizzler allows anyone to create niche-oriented word-cloud link pages on whatever topic is desired and generate substantial revenue while doing so.

First announced to Comm's private member list as of June 29, 2006, The Link Sizzler has already sold over 80 copies and is now available to the general public.

"With the success of 500Words.com (appearing as #3 on Alexa.com's 'movers & shakers list') I received many emails from customers asking if I was going to make the script available for others to use," says Comm, creator of 500Words.com and The Link Sizzler. "I realized that there was a huge demand for software that would make it easy for others to duplicate my success. I am pleased to bring The Link Sizzler to the marketplace so that anyone can select a niche and sell sponsored links in a unique and novel way."

The Link Sizzler is incredibly easy to use. Once installed on a web server with Linux and MySQL, only a Paypal account is required to receive funds from sponsors. Owners can then create a page with any number of custom words or phrases. Some hypothetical ideas for sites may include 400Realtors.com, 250Stores.com, or 1000Authors.com. There are as many options for creating niche word cloud pages as there are niches.

Prospective sponsors may customize their selected word or phrase to link to their own web site and display with a variety of font sizes, colors and styles.

A complete demonstration of The Link Sizzler is available on the web site at www.linksizzler.com

"I continue to receive email from Link Sizzler buyers who are sharing their ideas for niche sites that will be building with the tool," says Comm. "This idea is explosive and I believe we will be seeing hundreds of sites popping up shortly, each one with the opportunity to be highly profitable for the creators."

Internet marketer and author Jinger Jarrett has announced the launch of her new book "1001 High Traffic Sites To Market Your Business for Free." This is a follow up to her book, "Internet Marketing for Free."

Alpharetta, GA (PRWEB) July 1, 2006 -- Internet marketer and writer Jinger Jarrett has released a new book called "1001 High Traffic Sites to Promote Your Business for Free."

Jarrett's book is a follow up to her book and blog, "Internet Marketing for Free." Her book and blog teach small business owners how to build search engine optimized, content rich websites and how to write content for promotion.

"What I discovered after I wrote and released 'Internet Marketing for Free' is that many of my small business clients didn't understand where to post their content once they had written it. They wanted to know how to use high traffic sites to get more traffic without spending weeks submitting articles or press releases."

Jarrett compiled the free resources she had used to get her articles published in top internet marketing publications like Web Pro News, as well as Google News and Yahoo News.

Among the resources Jarrett outlines in her book:

-Free software to help small business owners build content rich websites that are optimized for the search engines and targeted to the keywords searchers are looking for, as well as writing content without knowing HTML.

- Free software and online tools small business owners can use to submit their sites to hundreds of software directories, awards sites, and directories to build their linking strategy and increase their rankings in the search engines.

- Where small business owners can post their press releases and articles for free so their content gets picked up by Google News and Yahoo News.

- High ranking article directories looking for good articles. These article directories can help small business owners raise their rankings because of the valuable backlinks they provide to the small business owners' sites.

- How small business owners can find forums on their site topic so they reach their customers. Small business owners can use these forums to build trust and credibility with their customers, as well as find out what products and services customers want. Small business owners can use this knowledge to develop products and services and overdeliver to their customers.

According to Chris Ellington of Article Marketer, "She knows everything that anybody can know about marketing for free on the internet."

Jarrett's marketing strategies have helped Article Marketer reach a ranking of around 7,000 on Alexa, as well as number one rankings for the search terms article writing, article marketing, and article promotion.
