Cornucopia Centerpiece for Thanksgiving Day
As we enter into the month of November my thoughts turn towards Thanksgiving and everything that this wonderful holiday has to offer.It is a time for spending time with family and friends and for counting the many blessings the past year has brought to us. Like most people I like to decorate for the holidays, and Thanksgiving is no exception.Indian corn, pumpkins, gourds, wheat, fruits, nuts, and anything that symbolizes a bountiful harvest are at the top of the list for things I like to include in my decorating scheme. The best way to incorporate all of these items it to design a cornucopia centerpiece for Thanksgiving Day.What is a cornucopia?Cornucopia is a Latin term derived from two words, cornu meaning horn and copia meaning plenty. The horn of plenty, as it is also known, is shaped like a horn or cone. It is usually shown overflowing with nuts and fruit.
(Freeman, Morton, S. The Story behind the Words. Philadelphia: Isis Press, 1985)This everlasting symbol of abundance is easy to create and will become another important tradition you will want to share with your family each year.Cornucopia Centerpiece:Materials:
- cone-shaped, store bought cornucopia basket
- assortment of fall fruits and vegetables (small pumpkins, apples, gourds, Indian corn, nuts, and berries)
- dried leaves, wheat, and other natural fillers
- newspaper
- raffia
- thin sheet of plastic or plastic tray (to protect table)
Place basket on plastic4. Place larger fruits and vegetables in basket.5. Continue adding smaller itemsallow them to spill out on the plastic (Remember, bountiful harvest!)6. Fill in small places with berries and nuts.7. Use leaves and other natural items to fill in the spaces; make sure protective plastic is totally covered..

BOOSTING TRAFFIC WITH CONTESTS
Contests are a great way to boost your traffic andhelps with recommendations and repeat visits. I use severalin my regular marketing for Associatesearch.comOne way I incorporate contests into boosting traffic is by a referral program I have. If you notice I have a small form on just about every page of my site that allows visitors to recommend their friends to our site. The program sends out an email describing the site and a thank you to the referrer. The program also sends me an email with both the referrers and referrals email addresses.
The program then writes both email addresses to a text database. At the end of each month I take all the email addresses from the referral database and draw one out to win whatever it is I happen to be offering, many times it's advertising slots.The great part about the referral contest is that the onlyway to be eligible for the prize is to refer someone.As a greater incentive I offer one entry to both the referand referral. The response is...

The Best Routine I've Ever Done...
Copyright 2006 Marc David
"The best routine I've ever done, is the one I haven't done."
Think about that for just a minute.
Let it settle in.
If you've been doing the same routine day in and day out, year after year, wonder why you aren't getting the gains you wanted... this statement should really hit home.
For starters, the more variety you can incorporate into your routines, even the smallest changes, will help:
* to prevent injury
* to avoid injury
* add to muscle confusion principles
* avoid boredom
* reduces overtraining
For all these reasons (and this list isn't even near complete), doing something as simple as adding variety to your routine will help keep your workouts interesting and your body growing.
Imagine this for a second will you?
I've been working out for 16 years.
I've tried many routines.
Some I liked, others I hated....
