Author Richard Palombi Announces Tour For Open The Door Richard, A Comedic Book For Baby Boomers

Author offers a hilarious look at teens coming of age in the 1950’s and 1960’s in Texas. Richard Palombi will be be on tour in Houston, Austin, Waco, Dallas, San Antonio, Temple and Killeen, Texas.

Author Richard Palombi has released his new book, Open The Door, Richard, a hilarious look at growing up in the 1950’s and 1960’s. He will be touring in cities in Texas and surrounding areas.

Written in the style of Dave Barry and other authors in the same vein, the book details Mr Palombi’s adventures with his siblings during the ‘Boomer formative years’. Mr. Palombi’s stories are related to court ordered psychologists, just after he is convicted of road rage some 40 years later. The book details these stories in a style that makes for entertaining reading.

“Growing up in the 1950’s,” stated Mr. Palombi, “with two brothers and a sister was no picnic. So what if my oldest brother John was a natural athlete and a bona fide genius? Take away his speed reading and the photographic memory and he was just another jock. Middle brother, Harry, on the other hand, was the rat of the family and a veritable thorn in my side. Judy idolized me--or so she said-- but that never stopped her from squealing on me. It was my beloved mother's bedtime stories, however, that were the cause of my many phobias.”

Baby Boomers in particular should enjoy the book. It’s a humorous look back at growing up in the fifties and sixties. “We didn’t need gangs back then,” stated Mr. Palombi, “we did enough damage with family and friends.”

“The book started out as a joke between my father and myself. I used to write routines for comedians back in the seventies. I later started a street ministry for at-risk teens and became involved in prison ministry. After that, I worked in numerous psychiatric facilities and treatment centers for alcohol and drug addiction. Throughout my career, I’ve been involved with a good many people from all walks of life. Regardless of the circumstances,however, my comedy edge remained sharp. I’d always planned to write again after retirement. Open The Door, Richard is the first of my efforts.”

Mr Palombi will be visiting book stores throughout Texas. The tour is slated for Houston, Austin, Waco, Dallas, San Antonio, Temple, Killeen and other cities in Texas.

Open The Door, Richard is available at the Stonegarden Publishing website at www.stonegarden.net, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com and at most large Internet book retailers.

Study Shows That A Small Business Without A Website Is Virtually Invisible

A recent study shows that consumers turn to search engines for local business information in ever increasing numbers; however only 44% of small businesses have a website. The cost of developing a website can prohibitive. Now one company has solved the problem for hundreds of small businesses.

More and more the consumer looks to the Internet to provide information on the products and services they want and need. However, as a recent study has shown, while 66% of consumers search the Internet for local small business information, only 44% of small businesses have a web site. The end result is that the small local business without a website is virtually invisible to these local consumers.

“According to the Nielsen Online Custom Survey from WebVisible, Inc.,” stated Dale Stefancic, co-owner of Entrepreneurs On Call, “92% of consumers have first researched a product on the Internet, and then have purchased that product locally at least once. The end result is that the business that has a website is much more likely to end up with that consumer in their local store. The Internet no longer serves the global marketplace exclusively but now impacts directly the sales of the smalllocal business. Without a website to direct and inform the local customer, a small local business will soon no longer stand any chance of real local success.”

This creates a real quandary for the small local business, as the design of even the most basic of websites can run into thousands of dollars. In today’s economy, a website is not economically feasible for some. Small businesses have a tendency to spend money on more traditional forms of advertising such as newspaper, Yellow Page ads and television. However, the same study shows that 50% of consumers turn to the Internet first, followed by only 24% for Yellow Pages, 4% for local newspapers and 1% for television.

“This does not make sense,” stated Mr. Stefancic, “in that the small business owner is spending their advertising dollars in the wrong place. This is the reason we developed More Local Business Online. Now, any small business can develop a website and draw that local traffic, often for less than the cost of a single newspaper advertisement.”

More Local Business Online provides a 130 page manual and 5 volumes of simple to follow, point and click tutorials, These manuals and tutorials provide all the information necessary for any small business to develop and maintain their own website.

Simple point-and-click, copy-and-paste instructions allow the local business to begin to attract local traffic to their business through the development of a local web presence. Hundreds of templates and graphics are included with the program.

“We consider using video tutorials” stated Mike Claggett, co-owner of Entrepreneurs On Call, “but found that many consumers became easily frustrated using this technology. Our system allows for printing the information directly. The manuals and tutorials walk the owner or employee through the process step-by-step from start to finish. When the task is completed, the item is simply checked off and the next step is taken.”

Ongoing support is provided by Entrepreneurs On Call through phone, webinars, training calls and an online forum. The company offers a money back guarantee on all their products.

Emmanuel Opiah’s New Book Details How Barack Obama’s Rise To Presidency Brings New Hope To The Whole World

Author Emmanuel Opiah’s new release offers hope to the warring factions that issues could be resolved peacefully. His spiritual message is extremely important not only for African Americans, but also those who wish to bring peace, tolerance and equality to the world.

Author Emmanuel Opiah believes that Barack Obama is being led by God to bring new hope to the world. His new release, How Barack Obama’s Rise To Presidency Brings New Hope To The Whole World offers hope to the warring factions that matters could be resolved peacefully.

"I wrote this book because a lot of stories were told during the electioneering campaign about President Barack Obama's religious belief. This book aims to set the records straight as it reveals what President Barack Obama stands for. The book highlights to the world, in particular those at war, that money spent on weapons is wasted because it has not been utilized to feed the hungry or improve infrastructure."

In this book, the author takes us through Barack Obama’s race to the White House. His message “Yes we can” was also taken to the whole world which aims to inspire and encourage a new generation, in particular African Americans, to believe in themselves and in each other. The author reveals how God demonstrated His power at different stages of the race while pointing out to us that, “He would take Barack Obama’s right hand and say to him ‘fear not I will help you.’” He enunciates how the Almighty God warned that America and the world should be still and know that He is God and that He created all men equal. Barack Obama’s religious standing, as portrayed by the author, shows his deep rooted adherence to Jesus’ teachings, “bless those who curse you, pray for those who spitefully use you and be your brothers’ keeper.”

“This book will help the African Americans come to terms with the fact that God created all men equal and that what one person can achieve the other can achieve, perhaps even better if he puts in a little effort. This book will inspire and encourage the reader to believe that the power to do this lies within each person.”

The book is available at the author’s website at www.eopiah.com, at Amazon.com, AbeBooks.com, Alibris.com and at many other online bookstores. The author is available for interview and can be reached using the information below.

Lois W. Stern, Author Of Tick, Tock, Stop The Clock, Featured On The Authors Show Radio

Nationally known author and expert on both surgical and non-surgical aesthetic enhancement techniques details how you can get pretty on your lunch hour - without the knife.

Nationally known author and expert on aesthetic enhancements, Lois W. Stern, will appear on Authors Show Radio through January 6, 2010.

In this interview Lois provides advice taken from her book, Tick Tock, Stop the Clock – Getting Pretty on Your Lunch Hour, to help women venture along their individual paths to beauty. The book features chapters by 11 highly renowned experts on topics ranging from the newest in lasers, fillers and dermal devices to optimum skin care products to meet specific facial landscape needs, details on the arsenal of techniques used by skilled cosmetic dentists, solutions for thinning hair, make-up illusions, body sculpting techniques and more. This book is designed to help every woman seeking sound advice on appearance related topics become an educated consumer so that she can make good decisions for herself.

"In this time of economic downturn, I think it is important for people to understand that you don’t necessarily need to go under the knife to achieve many of your beauty goals,” stated Ms. Stern. “Not everyone has the budget for big time appearance related expenditures. One of the key strengths of Tick Tock, Stop the Clock – Getting Pretty on Your Lunch Hour is that many chapters address the issue of spending wisely, withhonest, reliable advice on cost saving strategies to get the job done.”

Tick Tock, Stop the Clock is filled with accurate information written in a clear, easy-to-read format, complete with helpful charts and before/after photos of actual patients/clients. The goal is to present the best-of-the-best – professionals and outstanding practitioners dedicated to bringing readers an honest approach to their individual areas of expertise.

Stern explained that she came to the realization that there was a need for a book with this type content while doing presentations for her earlier book, Sex, Lies and Cosmetic Surgery.

“Each time I did a presentation, invariably at least one member of the audience would ask me questions about some of the less invasive paths to beauty. I wanted to help, but truly didn’t feel qualified. That’s when I got the idea to recruit respected professionals from a variety of disciplines to help with this project. I am so proud of each and every one of them. They certainly put their hearts and minds into their chapters and delivered beautifully.”

Lois has two websites with more information about her books – each with a URL similar to one of her book titles: www.sexliesandcosmeticsurgery.com and www.ticktockstoptheclock.com In addition, she and her colleague, Patty Kovacs, host of the Health and Beauty Revolution Show, have created a joint website filled with compelling information at: www.coast2coastbeauty.com where they offer a free monthly newsletter on timely topics.

“It is difficult to keep pace with all the developments in aesthetic techniques and technologies and to separate those that are really worthy of recognition from those that are more hype or simply slight variations dressed up in new terminology. Our Coast to Coast ~ Eye on Beauty newsletter and website are dedicated to educating and informing women toward achieving the goal of ageless beauty. A newsletter sign-up form and free gift offer is available at each of these websites.”

Mary Lore, founder and CEO of Managing Thought LLC, and author of Managing Thought: How Do Your Thoughts Rule Your World? is appearing on Mind Your BIZness Radio through November 16, 2009.

As human beings, we collectively and individually seek to improve our lives. For some, this takes the form of stellar success in business, goal achievement or personal development. Others seek to increase motivation, achieve personal happiness, develop a sense of purpose or perhaps simply to improve the ability to achieve goals and dreams. All of these, at their very core, revolve around a single issue – our thought patterns. If we can simply control our thoughts, we can change our experience of the world. Though many of us understand this and agree, most of us simply cannot accomplish it. This is where Mary Lore’s new book, Managing Thought: How Do Your Thoughts Rule Your World? can be of real value.

“As individuals and organizations,” stated Ms. Lore, “we learn that to achieve success, we must have a great attitude, think positively, establish a vision, set goals, stay focused, develop great relationships, be creative, be passionate and innovate. That's what we want. And we also want to be happy, balanced, at peace, true to ourselves and make a difference. How do we get there? In every case we get there through managing our thoughts.”

While many books touch upon these subjects, Managing Thought is a down-to-earth, practical guide to learning to harness the power of thought. The book provides a step-by-step process to help readers become aware of their thoughts, discover what they truly want at work and in life and to turn one’s desires into reality at both the individual and the collective level.

Managing Thought is also the name of Ms Lore’s company. The company offers a variety of products and services that help individuals and organizations develop new ways of thinking to discover and achieve what is truly significant and valuable—in work and in life. Through the Managing Thought® process, individuals and organizations change their way of life and the way they conduct business to achieve happiness and significant results. The organization offers books, audio, workshops, coaching services, free worksheets and assessment tools, e-columns and many other products and services.

“Most of what we have been taught about achieving success in our lives and our organizations,“ stated Ms Lore, “involves changing our behavior and performance. Extraordinary performance also involves our focus and mindset, our passion and purpose. How can we change those? Again, it all comes down to managing our thoughts.”

Managing Thought: How Do Your Thoughts Rule Your World? has been awarded six prestigious best book awards. Lore was recently awarded two 2009 Nautilus Medals and joined the ranks of previous winners, including Deepak Chopra, M.D., Thich Nnat Hanh, Eckhart Tolle, His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Andrew Weil, M.D. The hardcopy was recognized for Conscious Business and Leadership and the audio book for Audio Books to Enlighten and Inspire. The book was also named winner of the 2008 National Best Book Award, sponsored by USA Book News, in the “Business: Motivational” category. The audio version of the book is honored as one of the top five audio books in the “Self-Help/Motivational" category. In addition, the book received the Bronze Medal in the “Communication Skills” category at the Axiom Business Book Awards, sponsored by Jenkins Group, Inc., and was honored as the best book in the Small Press category for the 2009 Eric Hoffer Award, which recognizes books of exemplary merit.

Author Chloe Jon Paul Releases Entering The Age Of Elegance, A Travel Guide For The Mature Woman

Book serves as a travel guide for the mature woman who now stands on the threshold of the age of elegance

Chloe Jon Paul recently released Entering The Age Of Elegance, a guide for the mature woman who now stands on the threshold of the age of elegance.

The format of the book is similar to the travel guides published by Fodor, Frommer, and Lonely Planet. The book gives entry requirements, currency considerations, luggage check and travelers advisory. The reader will also get instructions for what to do at the boarding gate.

“Many women,” stated Ms. Jon Paul, “have spent their lives being someone’s daughter, wife, mother, or perhaps have been career women with no identity outside their chosen professions. As they approach mid-life, many of them want to hang on to their youth while others perhaps succumb to aging.”

“The goal behind writing this book was to his book to help women establish their priorities, investigate their options and to begin to zero in on the qualities that will help them become a woman of elegance.”

In the course of writing the book, Ms. Jon Paul talked with many women and, to her surprise, found that many women could not begin to fathom themselves as being elegant.

“Every woman has the potential to become an elegant woman,” she stated, “It begins with a serious examination of self to re-discover who you really are at this point in your life. Then you can go on to identify the qualities that you already have that are attributes of elegance, refine or eliminate any behavior that might prevent you from being totally elegant, and affirm yourself as that woman of elegance.”

Ms. Jon Paul’s engaging style of writing pulls the reader in with curiosity-evoking subtitles as Change Your Oil Filter, The FGA Quotient, The F-Word You Need to Use, The 10 Commandments of Aging Motherhood, Think MSN, Beyond Support Pantyhose, and Just Heard It through the Grapevine.

Ms. Jon Paul is available for interview and speaking engagements. She can be reached at the address below. Her book can be purchased at her website or by visiting Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble or Borders.

Chloe Jon Paul, M.Ed., is the author of Entering The Age Of Elegance – A Rite Of Passage And Practical Guide For The Modern Maturing Woman. She is a retired educator and is also the author of What Happens Next: A Family Guide to Nursing Home Visits.

Ms. Jon Paul’s accomplishments include being the recipient of the Fulbright Fellowship Seminars Abroad award to South Africa, 1996. She also took the title of Ms. Maryland Senior America in 2003.

In 2005 she served a volunteer internship during the Maryland legislative session as a Legacy Leadership Institute graduate. She has been the lead facilitator for the Alternatives to Violence Project in prison and community workshops on conflict resolution for over ten years. She was also the State representative for the National Family Caregivers Association’s caregiver community action network 2006-2008.

Mold, Bugs, Moisture, Odor, Energy Loss Company Offers A Single DIY Solution For Multiple Crawl Space Problems

What can appear to be many problems is often instead just one problem. All these problems may have their roots in an improperly maintained crawl space. CrawlSpace Concepts LLC offers a do-it-yourself, money saving solution.

For the past century, homes built on a crawl space have suffered numerous problems due to the nature of how the home was constructed. Open earth and foundation vents have allowed moisture to wreak havoc on the home and families living there. The problems suffered by homeowners include mold, bugs, moisture, odor, wood rot and energy loss. CrawlSpace Concepts LLC offers a single, DIY solution that offers an affordable opportunity to solve all these problems immediately and simultaneously.

“Mold, bugs, moisture and odor in a crawl space can now be a thing of the past,” stated Matt Leech President and CEO of CrawlSpace Concepts LLC. “The concept of the conditioned crawl space has been around for more than ten years and solves all of the problems that homes have with a crawl space, including energy loss. A conditioned crawl space is essentially treating the crawl space as if it were part of the home.”

The process is simple. Eliminating the foundation vents keeps the outside air out of the crawl space while a DrySpace™ vapor barrier seals out the moisture from the earth and foundation walls. Once the crawl space is clean and dry, adding conditioned air makes the home more comfortable and energy efficient. Installation can be accomplished by anyone with rudimentary skills.

Now that the International Residential Building Code allows for conditioned crawl spaces it has become easier for home builders to correct these problems at construction. However, one of the most vexing problems for homeowners of existing homes has been finding the same professional grade products available to contractors. “Our DrySpace™ vapor barrier products are what contractors are using to fix these problems,” explained Mr. Leech, “this is the same high quality white vapor barrier seen in television commercials. Installing the barrier is very simple and quite easy to accomplish.”

CrawlSpace Concepts LLC offers their products directly to homeowners and contractors as well as free installation advice and instruction on their website at www.crawlspaceinfo.com. “We are a hands-on company,” said Leech, “and we install our products in Michigan as well as train contractors across the country. We dedicate a lot of time for our customers, answering questions and teaching them how to install our products. It’s a major part of our business”.

More information is available by visiting the company’s website or by contacting CrawlSpace Concepts LLC at the address below.

CrawlSpace Concepts was formed in 2007 by a contractor with over 7 years of successful experience. His company, Decked Out, continues to operate today. CrawlSpace Concepts was formed when he recognized the need to help homeowners resolve the many issues related to crawl spaces. These include mold, bugs, moisture, odor and rust. The goal was to forever end the problems associated with the dirt crawl space.

CrawlSpace Concepts offers over 20 years of experience in the building industry. The company is a member of the Better Business Bureau and to date has maintained a zero complaint record. The company is fully insured and maintains all the licenses required by the state of Michigan.
