Vista Print
When sending lots of correspondence, address stamps are a useful tool.
Unless your envelopes are supposed to be hand written, it's quicker and easier to take an address stamp and put it on the corner of the envelope and be done with it.
Another good thing is going to Vista Print for all of your printing needs.
It's a whole lot easier to go to the Vista Print web site and pick the items you want and have them shipped to you rather than gas up the vehicle and go trudging throughout the malls looking for things like business cards, address stamps, checks, rubber stamps, announcements, and car magnets!
Matter of fact, I'd be hard pressed to know exactly where to go in the mall to find printing and correspondence materials.
Having these items is essential in conducting business and helping you become more productive is what Vista Print is all about.
I should know because I have gotten two sets of business cards from them. I also ordered an ink pen with a colorful design and my website's logo on it. The pen was so attractive that it kept getting away from me.
Now, I have to order another one. Okay, more than one.

Al Gore gave a rousing endorsement that lead into a speech that ensured Americans that their futures are solid in Sen. Obama's hands.
The crowd was almost uncontainable with multiple breakthroughs of "Yes We Can" and the sincere smiles/screams of hope-filled hearts as he entered and then exited the stadium after his speech.
Watch the speech here.

Al Gore to Endorse Presumptive Dem. Presidential Nominee, Barack Obama
LIVE TONIGHT -- 8:30 p.m. EDT: Watch streaming video of Al Gore and Barack Obama at a rally in Detroit, Michigan:
and he said in an e-mail...
"A few hours from now I will step on stage in Detroit, Michigan to announce my support for Senator Barack Obama. From now through Election Day, I intend to do whatever I can to make sure he is elected President of the United States.
Over the next four years, we are going to face many difficult challenges -- including bringing our troops home from Iraq, fixing our economy, and solving the climate crisis. Barack Obama is clearly the candidate best able to solve these problems and bring change to America.
This moment and this election are too important to let pass without taking action.

Women voters lining up behind Obama - Los Angeles Times
"I can't understand the thinking of how someone would jump from Hillary to McCain," Clinton supporter Marilyn Authenreith, said. "It doesn't make any sense." "Women are voting for Obama because they dislike Bush, they dislike McCain, they dislike the war, and they're upset about the economy, and those facts override any concerns about the primary"

Obama's Father's Day Speech
The speech soon-to-be heard and discussed around the world had nothing to do with politics.
"...too many fathers are mia (military acronym for missing in action)...they've abandoned their responsibilities...acting like boys rather than men...any fool can have a child..."
These are just bits of the speech given by presumptive presidential candidate, Barack Obama (D) on Sunday at Apostolic Church of God on 63rd and Dorchester, in Chicago.
Concerned, educated blacks have been pointing this fact about black families out for years.
This morning on CNN, Roland Martin said,
"Folks are concurring what he said. I know Roland comments on the state of the black family during his radio show on WVON in Chicago, frequently.
Roland also pointed out that single family households are not wholly a black issue.
Roldand said, it is a problem in America where 50 percent of white households are fatherless as well.
Obama actually lived this life of absentee father. His dad left at two--but he was lucky to have his mother and grandparents lend a hand in his rearing.
Matter of fact, the destruction of American families has been an important topic most of my lifetime. Did it start with the sexual revolution of the sixties? I dunno.
Or during slavery when families were routinely torn apart and sold to different slave masters? I dunno.
What I do know is that Barack should be speaking on this issue and Roland Martin agreed.
Mentioned also were comments made by Bill Cosby in 2005. However, Mr. Cosby's comments differed in tone and content.
"...Essentially, Cosby validated the perception that African-Americans who are economically disadvantaged have bad work ethics, low morals, misplaced priorities and distasteful lifestyle choices.
And they have no one to blame for their predicament but themselves," according to an article I wrote in 2005, for the Boca Raton News.
Cosby's comments are wayyyyy different in tone, content and intent.
Cosby was speaking not before a church on Father's Day but addressing his peers at some gala. It was a have vs. have not type deal.
Obama related a personal story of his childhood. He has first hand knowledge of how it feels to grow up with dad not around. And now he is on the verge of being president, so the microphone is in his hand.
He has come a long way and seems like a great dad himself to his two beautiful daughters.
Roland said critics of Obama should shut up criticizing and stop "running their mouths."
