Author coach Joel Orr is practicing what he preaches by writing a full-length non-fiction book in public, on Facebook. He is posting each day's progress to his Facebook group, "Joel's Book-Writing Mastermind." He is inviting and responding to comments on each segment.

"People keep telling me that writing a book is simply too hard for them, and they have difficulty believing that any method can make a difference. So I decided to demonstrate the process by actually writing a book publicly, 60-90 minutes per day, and finishing it in 30 days or less," said Dr. Joel Orr, an author coach in Mountain View, CA.

The year 2007 seems to be the year for Cory Hardrict. Cory is one of Hollywood's young undiscovered talents soon to be discovered and the top network shows will see to that. A Chicago native, Cory moved to Los Angeles to begin his acting career in 1998. Cory has made many guest appearances on network TV shows such as "Without a Trace," "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," and "Cold Case" and this year seems to be his best year ever. Mr. Hardrict will star in about five major box office films within this next year, but for now he can be seen on the small screen on various TV shows such as "Lincoln Heights," "K-Ville," and "Heroes."

Imagine 10,000 esquares (exhibition squares) on a homepage each filled with one digital image of art (i.e. painting, drawing, photography, sculptor, ceramic, woodcut print, etching, design, illustration, computer generated image, performance, installation, and mixed media) submitted by 7,000 artists from around the world, working together to create one piece of art, that when viewed from a distance would be seen as a unified image called Homepagism. Image that you could buy one of these esquare’s - for only $30US - to display your art for 4 years. Furthermore, visualize after the homepage was completely filled with these digital images you could sell your esquare to the highest bidder and make more money that you paid for it! Finally, imagine a world exhibition tour of all the homepages created from this website.

Hurricanes Katrina & Rita caused an immeasurable amount of damage to the lives of many people and to the states of Louisiana, Mississippi & Alabama. The emotional and physical strain left on our country can not be summed up in words that justify. In the aftermath of these natural disasters, many have risen to the challenge by aiding victims of these natural disasters. Many Americans came to the aid of their fellow man by donating food, clothes, money, room and board, and sacrificing their own personal lives to help others pick up the pieces of theirs. Last year at the Hurricane Katrina & Rita Relief Aid Drive, held in conjunction with former NFL Star, Bobby Taylor's Endzone Fashions and leading area promotion agency 20.10 Media, our efforts collected countless items of clothing, food, and much more. The time has come again for us to rise to the occasion once more to assist those still in need.



Inspired by these selfless acts of the past, Mictap.com has linked up with the renowned Rebellion Customs (formerly Dassler's Rebellion) to design a custom made pair of Addidas "Stan Smith's" to commemorate the one year passing of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The design concepts celebrates the rich culture and history that the world has come to familiarize with New Orleans, one of well known devastated areas. All proceeds will go to both the immediate and on-going continuous efforts to assist the Aldine Youth Center (Houston), St John's Church (Houston), & the Journey Home Center (New Orleans). This stands for much more than a well-to-do effort; it represents the genuine sense of sympathy & care the general public and Hip-Hop community has for those displaced by these natural disasters.

There is a wide variety of privately held (and usually privately originated) debt and other cash flow instruments that are actively bought and sold. Operating somewhat like secondary markets in the banking and institutional lending arenas, the private cash flow market provides cash flow asset holders several huge advantages not often obtainable through traditional funding pipelines - including flexibility, availability, and softer underwriting requirements.

TimeGnosis.com has created a revolutionary new “Timing” guidance tool unlike any “time management” planner, “Day Timer,” or decision support system ever devised. This accomplishment came as the result of the integration of advanced computing systems, quantum principles, chaos theory, and the latest technological innovations in anomaly research -- with the proven, centuries old science of number archetypes and the “Personal Timeline.”

Using a regular calendar, this Personal Timeline has now been put in layman's terms so anyone can benefit and prosper simply by tapping effortlessly into this unclaimed reservoir. Now everyone can be propelled to new heights of power, wealth and advantage leveraging this “hidden” use of Time -- a knowledge employed by the ultra rich for centuries and the ancient Chinese Wu Wei (which translates into “effortless flow”) Masters before them. Science is now just coming to fully grasp these profound understandings known to many of history’s great geniuses.

DataCore Software announces an increase in Disaster Recovery Solutions sales in Japan. This year Mother Nature took its toll and severely interrupted companies throughout the country. With multiple typhoons and earthquakes, the dangers of disruptions of services and data loss were at an all time high. The destructive earthquake that rocked Niigata prefecture and a wide area of Japan including Tokyo had a magnitude of over 6.0 and shut down many business and factories for weeks. Disaster Recovery solutions are extremely expensive and difficult to set up -- Japanese companies can no longer afford to delay implementations, therefore demand for low-cost simple solutions has soared. DataCore users and case studies prove that cost-effective disaster recovery is now a reality. More importantly, DataCore customers deploying SANsymphony remote site AIM Mirroring were comfortable in their knowledge that their data was protected.

Online singles websites have been in decline in recent years. Much like the fate of network television following the onslaught of cable, broad-appeal services have lost ground to niche sites that target specific demographic groups. One niche-dating directory that is growing in popularity is Fitness Singles (www.fitness-singles.com). Here, Chris Mattioli of Fitness Singles answers questions related to the online dating game.

How did Fitness Singles get started?

We formed Fitness Singles because we are personally committed to the fitness lifestyle, and noticed that fitness was underrepresented in the online dating field. As single women or men would view fitness as a desirable characteristic in a prospective partner, they decided to launch a site tailored to the fitness lifestyle.
