Thanks to all of you who participated in SendOutCards’ SendYourLove campaign for the victims of the Trolley Square incident. The campaign has completed. Here is an update from SendOutCards’ website:
Thank you to everyone who sent cards to the victims of the Trolley Square incident. We printed roughly 2000 cards. There were about 200 cards for each family.
Most of the cards were dropped off at LDS Hospital, University Hospital, and the Salt Lake Police Station. We also had the opportunity to meet Officer Hammond, the police officer who held back the shooter. He was very grateful for the many heartfelt cards he received.
The cards sent to the husband of Vanessa Quinn were delivered to a family friend, Lori Carpenter of Sandy, Utah. She welcomed us into her home and even baked us some chocolate chip cookies. We had a very nice chat with her. She sends her thanks to everyone for their support. She planned to give the cards to Rich, Vanessa’s husband, later that evening.
Once again, we’d like to thank all of you for participating in this effort. Each one of you has helped provide some comfort to the recovering victims and their families during this difficult time.
Thanks again,
SendOutCards, LLC

Every now and then I find that I have to pass on a powerful link. Turn up your speakers, get comfortable and check out www.divinitymovie.com , featured on a brand new CD set called Awakenings.
This CD set is incredible and is at www.awakeningtopurpose.com/awakenings.html . I have partnered with a colleague of mine, Donna Mills, to provide a gift that you’ll see on that page.
But check out the movie at www.divinitymovie.com first!
Enjoy,

I almost used the words “fraud alert” in my post title, but that’s a little strong for something that hasn’t been proven in a court of law. In any case, if you’re a business owner, you need to know about this company’s tactics.
Over the past week, I’ve been right in the middle of a huge can of worms. Thursday evening last week, I sat down to pay my phone bill and noticed a third-party billing service item that I didn’t recognize. www.paymentone.com had put through a $34.95 charge on behalf of “netopus.com” for something called “NetOpus Silv er Mnthly Fee” (sic). I attempted to call both my phone company and the phone number listed for NetOpus, and both were after hours. And the website netopus.com states this: “If you recently received a letter from NETOPUS.NET concerning services that you did not order, please direct your inquiry to NETOPUS.NET. This domain is NETOPUS.COM and we have nothing to do with the company operating at NETOPUS.NET although we are getting a whole lot of people contacting us incorrectly in response to the letter from Netopus.net.”
Because I couldn’t get it taken care of right then, I began to do some research online. I found incident after incident posted by other victims. Victims claim that the telemarketer who calls asks the person who answers the phone to simply verify business information for their directory, then afterwards doctors the recording so that the victim agrees to a monthly service that they’ll be charged after a 15-day trial period. From what I gather, the service is for website hosting. Huh… why would I agree to website hosting when I already have a website and hosting that’s vastly cheaper than $35 a month?
My phone company has taken the charge off my bill and the third-party billing company has also agreed to do the same if it continues to be an issue. But that’s not enough - I would really like to protect other unwitting small business owners.
I hesitate to post much more than this… just that the telemarketers instruct you to say “yes” for their recording. Don’t agree to anything until you ask for their terms in writing and be wary when verifying any information, even if they have only information that’s in the public domain. If you want to know more, contact me directly.
I attended an incredible teleseminar tonight–an interview with a 10-year-old boy who became a published author at age eight. What was impressive about this kid was not necessarily that he’s a child prodigy… he didn’t come across as superior in intelligence, although he certainly could be. He just had that something–an amazing belief that he had a story to tell the world and a confidence that he could tell it. He doesn’t just believe in himself, though–he believes that everyone has a book inside and that you, too, can become a published author.
Whether you believe you have a book inside you or not, you can probably learn something from this young author about belief, faith, confidence, enthusiasm, and even effective parenting!
I’m not sure how long the page with the recording will be up, so I wanted to share it right away: http://www.awakentheauthorwithin.com/reese_haller_thankyou.htm.
Enjoy!

P.S. I’m not familiar with the other products on this site, although they could be great. 
I’m headed to the opera, and I’m very excited. If you have been to the movie theatre recently, you may know that the Metropolitan Opera is trying something new - live broadcasts to select movie theatres in the United States. Events are scheduled through April 2007.
In addition to some of the classics, a world premiere of The First Emperor by Tan Dun will be shown on January 13, with Placido Domingo playing the lead. Tan Dun composed the score to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero, and this is his first opera. And I read in the newspaper that this is Placido Domingo’s first world premiere for The Met!
Or, if you’ve ever sung along to the Looney Tunes version, maybe you’d enjoy Il Barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville… Figaro, anyone?)! Mozart’s The Magic Flute is even scheduled for an encore performance.
For more information and to order tickets, go to http://fathomevents.com.
Enjoy the opera!
