Leah Martensen Unleashed Her Third Studio Project

Singer/songwriter and World Vision Associate Artist Leah Martensen released her third studio project on Feb 20th. Leah teamed up with "Paradiso Music" from Nashville, TN. Leah had a desire to do something different for this project, something modern but strong.

Producer John Pisciotta caught the vision for the project and called it "What I'm Not." Together they made a great team.

"What I'm Not" took nine months to create and was recorded at the Sound Kitchen in Brentwood, TN and Paradiso Studio in Nashville.

****************************************

“In the past, I struggled with the ‘What I'm Not’ concept, yet God was calling me.

I was sure that if He was calling me, He must be expecting great. I told Him: ‘I am just me.’ So I worked at being great, avoiding my calling. Then God asked me this question: ‘What is great in your eyes’? I didn't have an answer. I just knew I didn't want to let Him down.”

Once Leah reconciled the fact of God looking at her heart and attitude rather than her being the very best singer and performer on tour, her ministry took off.

As she put it: “It's not about how much talent but what you do with what you have been given. I figured out a little biblical secret and I want to pass it on.” Quoting portions of the lyrics from “What I’m Not’: “‘What I'm Not’ is really ‘Who He Is’ and ‘What I Want to Be’, because.... ‘Where I'm at’ is ‘Where He Is’ and ‘He Loves Me for Me’ and ‘For What I'm Not’. That is way cool! Give it a moment to sink in. You'll get it!”

Leah traveled for 8 years with an ensemble that sang in big arenas with major label artists. But as she started to do solo work on the side, she found freedom and ministry in being an independent artist.

“As an Independent Christian Artist, I get to call the shots. I have the freedom to go where God leads. I wouldn't want it any other way.”

That leading has crisscrossed the eastern half of the USA visiting churches, conferences, coffeehouses, fairs and festivals. It resulted in ministry in South Africa and Asia. God has expanded Leah’s ministry in the last two years. She signed with World Vision, a Christian relief and development organization, as an artist associate. God has used her passion for the helpless around the world to stir many in the church to sponsor kids.

“I have seen the devastation and hopelessness in the eyes of children in the squatter camps of South Africa. No clean running water, no toilet facilities, no nutritious food, minimal clothes and no school. The only thing in abundance is disease and death. We can all be missionaries without leaving our home, make an eternal impact on a child, a family, a community on the other side of the world. That really gets me excited.”

“I've been singing all my life and traveling the last 16 years. I get to do this with my husband of 21 years and I love that we can grow together in this ministry. We count it a privilege that God would allow us to join with pastors and churches in their ministry.”

Delivered with energy and passion the songs on ‘What I’m Not’ crystallizes the message Leah has being telling over the years.

Congratulations, Jay Rosenzweig & J R Investigations as the Woodland Hills Chamber of Commerce's 2005 Small Business of the Year.

The Woodland Hills Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors has chosen Jay Rosenzweig of J R Investigations as their 2005 Small Business of the Year.

Jay Rosenzweig graduated with honors from Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago. His introduction to the investigation business came in 1982 when he was hired by a warehouse to go undercover and find renegade employees stealing from the company.

Since that time, he has represented both consumer attorneys and insurance companies on cases involving fraud and misrepresentation. Jay has testified at trial on numerous occasions regarding identity fraud and social security number theft.

In 1995 Jay was named "Investigator of the Year" by the 2,000 member California Association of Licensed Investigators (CALI). He has a Certified Professional Investigator designation through CALI.

Jay was elected President of CALI in 1997. The following year, he served as their Chairman of the Board. During his presidency, Jay established a volunteer program for licensed investigators to assist a nonprofit group in their efforts to locate missing and abducted children.

Among the cases that got Jay noticed by CALI members was an abduction that led him to the violent streets of Guatemala City. The abductor was the child's biological father. After two years of fruitless searches by the family and other investigators, Jay found the child and father within 24 hours. The child was reunited with his mother shortly thereafter.

In another abduction case, Jay found the 15-year old daughter of a high-powered Bay area attorney. The girl had been abducted by an older man, and both were found by Jay living in a remote California mountain range. The girl was returned to her parents within one week, unharmed.

In the fall of 2003, Jay Rosenzweig and J R Investigations expanded its web based clientele and formed California Investigation Services. Since its inception, California Investigation Services has been the leading investigation company for referrals on the World Wide Web for California investigations.

On Friday night, January 27th, 2006 in Atlanta, Georgia, a very special TAG TEAM facility will open in Atlanta, Georgia for the first time. It is called the TAG TEAM Southeast Production Center.

• pro-duc-tion: the creation of value or wealth by producing goods and services
  
  
• cen-ter: a place where a particular activity or service is concentrated

We interviewed TAG TEAM President Delxino Wilson de Briano about the new facility. Here's what he had to say about it:

What can you tell us about the upcoming TAG TEAM Production Center in Atlanta?

The new facility is going to be a revolutionary place. Lots of success will be created within those walls. We have been planning to build this new facility for over 5 years now. It literally is a dream come true for Debbie and I, as well as many other TAG TEAM members.

What exactly is a TAG TEAM Production Center?

A Production Center is a type of TAG TEAM Marketing office facility devoted to helping members of TAG TEAM Marketing become productive. By productive I mean producing sales of products and services, gaining new business partners, and the like. By members I mean Sales Representatives and Producers which are members of the TAG TEAM Business Opportunity, and Networkers which are members of the TAG TEAM Network. A TAG TEAM Production Center has specialized spaces and weekly activities for both types of member.

How does this differ from a TAG TEAM Training Center?

The purpose of a TAG TEAM Training Center is primarily the training of TAG TEAM Producers. Training is an important and necessary action in the TAG TEAM System. It is one step, however, in helping members become productive.

What will the new facility do for members of TAG TEAM's Business Opportunity?

The new TAG TEAM Southeast Production Center will be the place where TAG TEAM Business Opportunity Members can learn about TAG TEAM, join the business opportunity, train in an ideal environment, work with hundreds of team members and PRODUCE new sales and new members consistently. In other words, the facility handles it all. In addition to being the place where TAG TEAM members train, it is a place where TAG TEAM members WORK. Members come to the office to make sales, interview new members, hold small and large business presentations, make phone calls to prospects, purchase supplies, work on the Internet, study the TAG TEAM System, you name it. With this Production Center, members can do 90% of their work in the facility along with their teammates.

What will it do for members of the TAG TEAM Network?

There will be lots of activities for Networkers.

First of all, Networkers can attend our weekly TAG TEAM Network Social events at the Production Center. At these events, Networkers can meet other positive, Black, business people and do business together. Networkers can promote their company and products on stage to hundreds of other Networkers that attend each week.

Second, we will be announcing many new services for Networkers in the near future. All of these services will be available at the Southeast Production Center.

What will it do for Customers of TAG TEAM Marketing?

Customers of TAG TEAM Marketing will be able to shop for TAG TEAM merchandise in the new TAG TEAM Store. This retail store will feature all TAG TEAM Products and Services and beautiful displays in a warm Afro-Centric environment. Customers will be able to see all of the merchandise previously only available in the TAG TEAM Online Store. This includes, cell phones, Internet Phone Service boxes (VoIP), clothing, accessories, jewelry, books and more.

What will this facility mean for the Public?

The public will be able to visit the facility to learn about TAG TEAM Marketing, and also participate in a variety of activities including Black Business Seminars, TAG TEAM Network Socials, Service Projects and Special Community Events. The public will also be able to attend TAG TEAM Business Briefings to find out all about the TAG TEAM Business Opportunity.

Wow, that's a lot under one roof! Anything else you'd like to share?

Yes. I'd like to invite the entire TAG TEAM family of members and friends to come out to the Grand Opening in Atlanta, Georgia and share that magic weekend with us. Once we cut that ribbon on January 27th, a new era of productivity and success will begin for the Black community. Also, to anybody interested in the TAG TEAM Business Opportunity . . . NOW is the time to join! The major expansion of TAG TEAM is about to begin.

Thank you for this interview Delxino.

See you at the Grand Opening!

For Santikos Theatres It Isn't Just About Movies Any More!

More than 80 years ago, Louis Santikos, a Greek entrepreneur, brought cinema to San Antonio. Having immigrated to Texas Mr. Louis Santikos opened one of the state’s first nickelodeons in the early 1900’s. By 1924, he had established the first opulent movie theatre in San Antonio, the Palace Theatre. This endeavor was only the beginning as the Santikos Company continued to introduce many more of these grand theatres throughout the decades that followed.

After graduating from St. Mary's University, his son John entered the movie business. His first venture was the Olmos theatre in San Antonio, a successful single screen theatre.

In continuing the Santikos legacy, he acquired and built thirteen drive-in theatre locations, thus offering the only Drive-In theatre experience in San Antonio. The Santikos Mission 4 Drive-In, one of the original Drive-In theatres, is still in operation today.

Adding to his entrepreneurial resume, John Santikos introduced San Antonio to its first multi-screen indoor theatre, the Century South Theatre multiplex. Additional theatres were added over the next 2 decades to this initial development with the construction of the Northwest, Galaxy, Westlakes and Embassy multi-screen theatres. The recent additions of the Silverado 16, Mayan 14 and the creation of the new art cinema and cafe, The Bijou at Crossroads has brought Santikos Theatres back to the forefront of San Antonio’s quality entertainment.

In 1987, the operational division of the theatres was sold to Act III Theatres. However, in May 2001, John Santikos returned to his beloved theatre business by acquiring the theatres he had sold. With the addition of the Greek themed Palladium mega-plex located at IH-10 West and La Cantera, the highly anticipated construction of the Granada Theatre located at 1604 and Potranco Road and with future entertainment venues in the planning stages, Santikos remains a prominent name as the largest locally owned and operated theatre circuit in San Antonio.

Try the new and improved Loyalty Program. It's now easier and faster to collect your earnings and it's all done at your favorite theatre!

Just ask one of the friendly Managers to sign up and you will begin earning points for Pop Corn, Sodas, Candy, and Free Movies.

Thanks to Jeff L. Post, Owner of Cartridge World is the only place to go for all your printing needs.

Take in your old, empty inkjet and laser cartridges, and Jeff or his staff will have them refilled while you wait. Yes, that even includes color inkjet cartridges! How much can you save? How does 50% or more sound?

At Cartridge World, you can have both ink and laser toner cartridges remanufactured and refilled for home and business use. Even many "new" cartridges contain used or recycled parts; so why not come to Cartridge World and save?

They can do it while you wait. They can remanufacture, refill, or reload just about any cartridge for inkjet and laser printers, photocopiers, and fax machines.

They use only premium parts, and our toners and inks are sourced from top suppliers specifically for your equipment. Once the cartridge has been remanufactured, we test it to ensure a quality print.

Jeff guarantees that cartridges refilled by his company will perform as well as the original equipment. As a matter of fact if you don't believe your refilled cartridge is as good as an original, they will gladly refund your money!

The quality of our work is only exceeded by the quality of our ink. Cartridge World only uses the Highest Quality Ink that has the same physical and chemical properties as the original manufacturer's inks. This ensures that your print quality is as good as the manufacturer's inks.

At Cartridge World, you can find everything you need for printing - all in one convenient location. Need paper? They have it. Want to buy a new cartridge? No problem. At Cartridge World, you can have both ink and laser toner cartridges remanufactured and refilled for home and business use.

And you can save up to 50% off the cost of a new brand-name cartridge.

• High Quality Photographic Papers;
  
  
• Compatible Inkjet Cartridges ;
  
  
• OEM Inkjet Cartridges;
  
  
• OEM Laser Cartridges;
  
  
• Cash Register Ribbons;
  
  
• Copier Cartridges;
  
  
• Specialty Paper;
  
  
• Fax Supplies; and
  
  
• Toners.
  

Of course, no cartridge lasts forever (most black inkjet cartridges can be refilled 6 to 7 times), so we also carry Cartridge World Brand compatible inkjet cartridges that have been specially manufactured to work with your specific printer.

You get the same high quality without the high price of a new cartridge! They also carries a wide variety of black and color brand-name inkjet and laser cartridges. If you want the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) cartridge, they probably have it on hand.

Looking for premium specialty papers (including photographic), labels, and many other practical printing accessories, then check out Cartridge World. Not only are you likely to find what you're looking for, but you probably can get it at substantial savings!

Ms Seraphine Lander Launches Caribbean Stylz Magazine

Ms Seraphine Lander, publisher of Caribbean Stylz Magazine, obtained a degree in business at the University of Houston. After graduating and working for a few years, Ms Lander decided to pursue her hobby and enrolled in the Gems Beauty Academy on the island of St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands. Ms Lander has owned Sera's Beauty Studio on St. Croix for the past six years and began planning her magazine in 2001.

I

"This magazine is different than other hair magazines because it features hair styles from across the Caribbean," stated Ms Lander. "This is something you don't normally see. I am still trying to make the magazine better by venturing further out into the Caribbean."

Caribbean Stylz Magazine is $10 and is available from a distributor in Miami, at the salons featured in the magazine, other locations throughout the Caribbean, and online at www.CaribStylz.com.

Caring Enough About Kids to Do Something to Keep Them Safe When They Play

Children love to run, jump, swing and climb, which makes outdoor playscape systems the ultimate for kid entertainment. Parents need to feel confident that their children are safe on playscapes. Children's Safety Solutions cares about your children and their safety. At Children's Safety Solutions, we saw a need to improve the safety of playscape systems. Thus, we have developed the perfect product to allow kids to enjoy their playtime and give parents that necessary peace of mind.

So . . . what exactly is a Play Safety Net?

Well . . . The inspiration for developing the Play Safety Net came shortly after my husband and I purchased a playscape for our two-year-old daughter. As a mother, my biggest fear was that she and her friends could fall from the upper fort area.

The Play Safety Net covers the opening in the upper fort area of playscapes, preventing toddlers and, of course, all children from tumbling off the high platform.

The Play Safety Net attaches to the playscape by lacing a nylon rope through the holes in the border of the net and around the structure of the playscape. This unique, high-quality product provides long-term safety for kids and gives peace of mind to parents knowing their children are safe while at play.

The Play Safety Net is made of a durable, woven polyester mesh fabric that has a coating of weather resistant vinyl. This coating adds a layer of protection to shield the Play Safety Net against the damaging effects of wind, rain, and sun, thus, keeping your Play Safety Net in great condition for many years.

The grommet hardware used for the holes in the border of each Play Safety Net is made of brass which resists rust and corrosion.

The Play Safety Net has a two-way zipper that allows for easy in and out access. The zipper is made of nylon, which is mold- and mildew-resistant, and is specifically designated for outdoor use.

The Play Safety Net is available in three bright colors:

• red,

• blue, and

• yellow.

The ionKids System Gives You Peace of Mind and Might Just Save Your Child's Life

The ionKids System was designed with both ergonomics and simplicity in mind. It consists of two components: a comfortable, unobtrusive bracelet for the child to wear and a convenient base unit a parent can easily carry and operate.

Base Unit:

The parent or guardian uses this small, easy to use device to monitor the location of the WristagT wearer. The Base Unit, a handheld device, allows parents to monitor up to four Wristags simultaneously.

Wristag:

This specially designed, tamper-resistant and water-resistant bracelet is worn by the child. The Wristag is designed to be fun to wear and requires no interaction on the part of the child. ionKids Wristags adjust to fit snugly against your child's skin, and contain a strong locking mechanism that cannot be easily opened without a key, which comes with the Base Unit.

How They Work Together:

Wristags transmit a signal to the Base Unit from up to 350 feet when outdoors and up to 200 feet indoors. Because it uses a point-to-point wireless communication system, the ionKids Wristag does not rely on cell towers or satellites to locate your child-so cloud cover or a building's roof will not prevent you from finding your loved ones.

Every few seconds, ionTechnologyT simultaneously changes the transmission frequency, Wristag ID and corresponding information in the Base Unit, significantly reducing the chances that a third party can scan or monitor a child's Wristag. In addition, each communication between an individual Wristag and its Base Unit will be transmitted on a different frequency, making it possible for multiple Wristags to be used in the same close environment without transmission interference.

The underside of the Wristag is equipped with sensors that detect the presence of the child's skin. If the sensors perceive an excessive gap between the Wristag and the child's skin, it immediately activates the Wristag alarm and sends a simultaneous "tamper" alarm to the Base Unit to warn parents of the possibility that the Wristag has been improperly removed.

Here’s what parents had to say about the ionKids system:

"I have had the ion-kids units in use now for a week and don't know how I managed without them! Not only do they work as described, but my son Charlie, who has autism, when his unit indicates that he has gone out of range, he comes back into range to keep his unit from beeping.

I never knew he would do that. My husband and I are finding that the kids are staying with us more because the old hide and seek game has ceased to be a game. We are not yelling and searching all over stores for them anymore. We use our FIND button. Game over. I just want to thank you for this product, we love it."

Fed Ex Kinko's Business Centers Providing Outstanding Community Service

When I needed a temporary business office to do some online work, I was referred to Fed Ex Kinko's here in San Antonio. I was pleasantly surprised to learn the wealth and extent of services the local business centers offer to the community (small business people and individuals as well).

The business center I visited and now call "home" is located in the Huebner Oaks Shopping Center.

Greeted and assisted by Mr. Larry Jenkins on my initial visit, I was extremely impressed by the outstanding level of customer service he rendered - and did so cheerfully, promptly, and genuinely making me feel not only welcome, but as if I had come back home after a long stay overseas. He did not mind my interruptions and barrage of questions and was only to willing to offer assistance.

I am delightedly pleased to endorse this Fed Ex Kinko's Business Center and encourage you to utilize their services, if you haven't already done so.

I searched the internet to find one closest to me. Based on my search, I found are 7 locations offering business and shipping services:
