Valuable Experiences for the Holiday Season!

I am blessed to have a generous mentor and she regularly shares precious working experiences with her colleagues and friends. Here is one the sharing:
Valuable Experiences by Kathy Paauw and Carol McWilliams


On a personal note, I have had fun creating this year Halloween Card:
just went for a walk with Art in a neighborhood, took few pictures and made gorgeous collage.

( click on the picture to enlarge )

Most important, you prepare one holiday card and send it with one click of the mouse to all your friends addresing them by their names. It's just simple.

You don't need to write addresses on envelopes, place stamps, bring to Post Office. You only focus on creative side of the process.

Hope you like the pictures. Can you see them in the real greeting card.
I had received many compliments from my friends :)

Wish The Best,

Santa Monica Pier: generous views, cool music.

As members of Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce we would like to benefit local businesses and thus decided to share the wonderful concerts, which reflect unique spirit of Santa Monica. Lots of people are coming year after year at the Santa Monica Pier for these open air concerts. Enjoy!
July 2 marks the opening night of the Twilight Dance series, a program of free concerts featuring “eclectic and exciting world music.” said Ben Franz-Knight, the Executive Director of the Santa Monica Pier. He added, “The concerts’ goals are to introduce new artists and bring back old favorites,” The concerts occur every Thursday from 7 to 10 p.m. until September 3...

“Santa Monica celebrates three anniversaries this summer: The 25th Anniversary of the Twilight Dance Series, The 100 Year Anniversary of the Santa Monica Pier, and the 85th Anniversary of The La Monica Ballroom,” said Franz-Knight. To commemorate these anniversaries, The Pier will have a dance floor, many musicians from a variety of different genres, and for the first time, a wine bar available for patrons.

Su Jubiliejumi 30!

Dėkui už susitikimo nuotraukas! Pridedu nuorodą į Smilebox filmuką. *
*
( Paspausti ant nuotraukos, kad išdidinti! )

Mieli grupiokai. Nuoširdus Valio Jums už grupės ugnelės puoselėjimą. Kas gali pagalvoti, kad jau 30 metų prabėgo nuo mūsų studijų baigmės...
*
Tad...
*
Sveikiname su 30-ies metų Jubiliejumi!

Labai norėtųsi pasikalbėti su kiekvienu betarpiškai ir asmeniškai, bet matyt teks "asmeniškai" dalį atidėti ateičiai, o "betarpiškai"... gal per Skype kada galim pasikalbėti :)
*
Vadimas: Mieli grupiokai, Labai labai gaila kad šį kartą vandenynas pasirodė neįveikiamas ir nesugebėsiu perskristi iš Toronto į Žemaitiją. O taip norėtųsi visus pamatyti ne tik nuotraukose... Na ką gi, šeštadienio vakarą pakelsiu taurę (o gal ir ne vieną) kartu su visais (čia tai jau joks vandenynas nesutrukdys), kad visi ir toliau būtų tokie pat linksmi, energingi, sveiki ir jauni, kaip kad buvome Baibiuose-1974.
*
Artūras: Pereitų metų susitikimo nuotraukas Gediminas sudėjo į Picasa, tad turėjau gerą stimulą susipažinti su ta aplinka. Išmokau sukurti smagius nuotraukų koliažus. Vieną paruošiau ir mūsų tema. Tikiuosi patinka. Prisidedu prie Vadimo pasiūlymo šeštadienį pakelti taurę ( ir ne vieną :)

Pageidavimas: pernai susitikimo nuotraukos buvo labai nuotaikingos. Vytas minėjo, kad antroje dienoje buvo dar labiau nuotaikingesnių veidų ... gal šiais metais galima būtų padaryti nuotraukų ir iš antros dienos?
*
Čia vietoj mano tosto - palinkėjimo:
*
Vieną smagų pratimą išmokau per Laughter Yoga užsiėmimą (gal rasit ant Youtube), Jis gal tiktų per Jubiliejines iškilmes. Tą reikia daryti kartu ir su reikiamu entuziazmu, kad būtų geras efektas:

1. abiejose rankose priimkime padėtį "liuks" su nykščiais į viršų,
2. įsivaizduokite, kad rankose laikome bokalus (kas alaus, kas mineralinio... pasirinktinai)
3. iš dešinės rankos menamai pilame į kairį bokalą ir šaukiame "Jeeeee..."
4. iš kairės rankos menamai pilame į dešinį bokalą ir šaukiame "Jeeeee..."
5. keliam dešinę ranką su nykščiu link lūpų, visi kartu juokiamės ir šaukiame "cha-cha-cha".
*
Šią apeigą atlikti kelis kartus nesustojant su tokia nuotaika, kaip kad mes Alytuje duše dainuodavom pakiliai :)
*
Linkime visiems gražių, prasmingų, dvasingų, šiltų, kvapnių, tikslių, artimų, skambių ... Jei ne kūnu, tai dvasia mes su Jumis.
*
"Užsieniečiai":
Vadimas: skaidrėse
*
ir Artūras: skaidrėse
*
*
Jei kas norėtų pamėtyti į krepšį, neatsitraukiant nuo kompiuterio ekrano, eikite į wishSwish.blogspot.com, ten paskaitykit nuorodas, paspauskite ant krepšininko foto ir pirmyn.

Reasoning Behind My Portfolio of Digital Photography and Video

When I shared my new portfolio at kaChing.com, my darling asked me why did I buy shares of each stock in multiples of 100 in it? I had in mind future hedge possibilities with options: as you know 1 option = 100 shares. Otherwise, I would buy 1 share of each to form an index for digital photography and video. For indexing purposes I only need to follow % movements and 1 share of each stock would be enough. With a time I also experinced that kaChing.com charting would not reflect my Index based on 1 share of each stock, so I went ahead and bought 10,000 shares of each stock to get properly reflected in Performance Chart, which compares visually my formed index with a chosen benchmark (S&P 500, Russell 3000).
____________
____________
____________
*
My interest in indexes started when I began to play with country-based ETFs, placed them on one chart as you may see here. I am collecting myself to finish the Contribution for 2009 Olympic Congress: http://www.2009congress.olympic.org/en/Pages/default.aspx, where I am offering Hoopathlon consisting of three sports: hoop shooting, 2x2 playing, running country-based ETFs for 3 hours ... you just saw the chart.

As you may see I get some countries here and some may not. Even UK‘s FTSE 100 I cannot place on the same chart because it run during London trading hours, not US. One way out of it is to create my own ETF... I started to look for California ETF and could not find one. Time arrived to get serious :(
I contacted Mike Havrilla and he guided me out with basics of forming own ETF. I did it with CartuM25.

When the whole thing came down to historic back-testing, Excel provided good opportunity to produce relative chart after downloading historical quotes, but it is time consuming and ... kaChing!.. Mike invited to check his portfolio on kaChing.com :)

When I saw that kaChing.com has Performance comparative chart, I became instantly hooked and joined the site with my newly gathered Portfolio for digital photography and video. Hope it will bring some fun.

* * *
Now we may focus on our current subject:
here we have me standing next to Pacific in Santa Monica ...

... and it seems that the time came to crack a joke.

The best way to do it, of course, is word bubble.
I like the simplicity of SOC online tool to do that, so I get into the http://www.wishthebest.com/,
press Picture Plus link, upload the photo, form Voice or Thought Bubble, then another and here we are:

There are, certainly, many tools to do similar deed, but having more things in one place is always a luxury :)

HERE ARE RECENT ANNUAL REVENUES:
2004 REVENUE: $200,000

2009( PROJECTED): 90 MILLION " - from mentor letter to his upline.
*
SOC is built on advanced digital photo trend, generous payments for everyone involved and opportunity to grow in a friendly environment.
*
Three things amazes me:
1. With explosion in a greeting card business, most card companies force customers to pay for their shipping twice: from card company to customer and from customer to final destination. SOC does it once. Ask us how!

2. You know that convenient management of client addresses is crucial. Some companies charge you $30+ per month for online data management system. If you cancel the service after 1 year, you are loosing your data base.
With SOC you have peace of mind: no additional payment for unlimited access to excellent data management system with reminders and many other features in place.

3. Google Picasa promotes 4 vendors on the ouset of its excellent program to make photo/greeting cards and other related products. We compared the prices for greeting cards with your own pictures or collages and guess what? Try to find better prices than SOC's and you still won't find it.
Check the slide video below to see samples of cards you may use or create for your business:
Now go to http://www.wishthebest.com/ and send a complimentary card on us. You will smile :)... you will become the fan for a lifetime.
If you are interested in how to make money with SOC and how to have fun, here is the video explaining SOC business strukture !

If you read to this point and watched the videos, you should have questions. Birute and I are always here to answer them: ask@wishthebest.com
