It is HOT. We hit 100 degrees at 2pm yesterday and, since
our high is usually at 3:30 to 4pm, I am assuming, though
am not sure, that it topped out at about 103 to 105.
Blah.
We had a larger than average death rate in the past week
in a town with only 2500 or so residents. A friend lost
her 28 year old nephew to a drug overdose, a 6 year old
little boy drowned at a local swimming hole, a man
shot his daughter's boyfriend, supposedly due to an
argument over DVDs he was having with his own son,
and a little girl was stillborn - all within 3 days.
We also had 4 or 5 people in their 80'a up to 97
pass away and although those are still sad, those
are the more expected losses.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of the families
at this terrible time.

Featured Article
Increasing Online sales Through Affiliate Marketing
One of the most tried, trusted, and beneficial ways of
increasing online sales through marketing and advertising
is affiliate marketing. This is basically a revenue share
sort of system, where an affiliate is given a form of
commission from a merchant, based on how many sales the
affiliate has generated through advertising on his/her site.
Affiliate marketing began just four years after the world-wide
web was launched, and many successful e-commerce sites owe
much to this simple yet effective method.
There are three types of affiliate marketing methods of payment –
either pay-per-click (generated by actual clicks or referrals to
the merchant from the affiliate’s site), pay-per-action or
pay-per-sale (very similar, in that the affiliate receives payment,
either a fixed amount or commission, based on the sales
or subscriptions that have come through referrals or adverts
on the affiliate’s site.) The last two methods of payment are
generally preferred by merchants, due to many fraudsters
taking advantage of the click system and setting up sites
with forced clicks, pop-ups, adware, spam, false advertising
and many other “black hat” techniques.
Affiliate marketing is not limited to only display-adverts
on an affiliate site, but also comes in the form of email,
blogs, rss feeds, content and niche sites, loyalty sites,
comparison sites or shopping directories, and other forms.
It is an extremely low cost, but highly effective form
of marketing and advertising, presenting little to
no risk for both the merchant and the affiliate.

Funny of the Day
The older a man gets, the more ways he learns to part his hair.
Some men pull what little bit of hair they have around
on their heads to cover their baldness. However, as a
man gets even older, he realizes there are basically
only three ways to wear his hair--
parted, unparted, and departed.
