In one of my articles I told you about the restaurant owner who came up the brilliant idea of naming the tables in his establishment after various celebrities then letting the celebrities - and the media - know about the "honor". His payoff for that brilliant idea was huge.

Shortly after that Braden Holtby Womens Jersey , I asked my subscribers to guess what the restaurant owner did next and to come up with other ideas this restaurant owner could use to get even more publicity from this one idea. I presented it to them as a contest and awarded prizes to the winners. I probably had more response to that contest than I''ve ever had before.

Jan Stern was the first to come up with the right answer. The owner next invited each of the people honored with a table to have a complimentary dinner with a guest. So the restaurant owner not only got great publicity each time he named a table, he doubled his publicity by inviting the celebrity and letting the press know about it.

Although Jan had the right answer, lots of my subscribers had great suggestions. Quite a few suggested he start naming the chairs. You also suggested he name each entree and appetizer. Several suggested he hold a contest to see who the public would like tables named after.

Here are other suggestions they had:

* name tables after national celebrities in addition to locals

* have a party and invite all the people who have tables named after them. Hold the party in the restaurant and invite the media.

* name each table after several celebrities

* hold a dedication ceremony for each table Andre Burakovsky Womens Jersey , inviting the person honored

* when the celebrity ate at his table, have a photograph taken, have it autographed and placed it under glass at the table

* combine a charity event with the celebrities honored with a table

* have a contest to see which table was the most popular

* keep a tally of how many patrons sat at each table. Periodically release the totals Philipp Grubauer Womens Jersey , which would encourage the people honored with the tables to publicize "their" table hoping to make it the most popular

* invite each celebrity to autograph his table

* name tables after large media businesses like the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, etc.

* name a table after the President and First Lady

* allow each person honored with a table to name the next table after someone notable

And Paul Patzloff had probably one of the best "bonus" ideas to tie in with this whole thing. Paul suggested naming the toilet stalls after some less popular people in the New York area. Wow Christian Djoos Womens Jersey , would that start another media blitz!

What a great list of ideas - and what great imaginations they all have. Excellent work! As I''ve said over and over again in my posts, if you''re not getting your share of the publicity, when are you going to start? Here''s a guy simply naming tables and getting a landslide of publicity. You can get a similar landslide of publicity for whatever product or service you have to offer. The media is very willing to make you as famous and wealthy as you''d like if you''re willing to give them what they want - a good story.




As I picked up some of the polished gemstones in the rock store I began to think about what the stones looked like before they were polished. The store had several rocks on display showing the before and after and I realized that unless you knew what you were looking for Devante Smith-Pelly Womens Jersey , you could easily pass by a valuable gemstone. I also thought about how many times we pass by someone because they look "ordinary" and what we might be missing because we don''t get to know their "inner person". Thus this poem.

Stones

Like stones in a polisher
We are tossed to and fro,
bouncing off each other
while wearing off our rough edges.
Sometimes the sharpness may hurt others,
sometimes we are the ones being hurt Madison Bowey Womens Jersey ,
but as our edges become smoother,
our surface becomes shinier.
What was once hidden
in plain grey rock begins to show
its true colours.
We may have paused to look
at our fellow tumblers
and dismissed some of them
because of the drabness of their coats.
But now they are the stones
that shine the brightest.

Think of the diamond.
It is just a simple crystal
until it is broken, cut and shaped
to reveal its inner brilliance.
We too are being tossed and turned
cut and shaped Lars Eller Womens Jersey ,
in order to reveal our brilliance.
God the master stone cutter
sees within our drab outer covering
to the hidden beauty within.
Thanks be to God.

The eye’s health relies on the constant making and draining of tears. These tears do a great deal in looking after the eyes, from keeping them moist, protecting against infections and helping to heal injuries. People that suffer with dry eye disease make less or lower quality tears that are not able to maintain the surface of the eye comfortable and lubricated.

Tear film is made up of three layers. The outer oily layer called the lipid layer; this stops tears from evaporating too fast and helps keep the tears on the eye as long as possible. The middle layer is called the aqueous layer; this helps sustain and nourish the cornea and conjunctiva. The bottom layer is call the mucin layer; th.
