All's Peaceful on the Lake
Although Tink's leg doesn't seem to be getting any better, he's
adjusting more all the time. Everything else has been pretty
laid back for the past week.
Even that little outlaw, ET, has been calm. Almost sweet, even.
He came over, got in my lap and whistled his new composition to
me, yesterday. Yep - he writes his own music, sometimes.
I did hear a slight uproar a few minutes ago. I glanced up and
saw a baby Great White Egret fly in and try to land in the water
by the ducks. It isn't much bigger than the ducks. But, the
ducklings were startled and noisy over it.
It had to move to the shoreline. Now, they're all together on
the bank of the lake. I guess babies know babies. Very cute.
Dora has a Mama's Girl
My third daughter, "The Earth Mother," seemed to have been born
talking. As a toddler, she followed me around talking to me
until I almost thought death would be preferable. She couldn't
even play outside without running in to check on me every 15
minutes!
But, I always said suicide was out of the question. I knew she
would simply come to the cemetery, sit by my grave and continue
to talk. There would be NO peace!
Well, one of Adorable Dora's ducklings is exactly like her. If
Dora dares to move more than 10 feet away from her, she sets up
a ruckus like you never heard.
It's all I can do to keep from giving her The Earth Mother's
name! But, I've resisted. I call her "Daisy," instead.
Piracy Reared its Ugly Head
I suppose the big news, last week, was my finding the theft of
three pages of the iCop web site - put on the site of an
organization for clergy.
Organization for clergy? Are you freakin' kidding me? Nope!
Just goes to show, you can never predict who will steal your
stuff!
You think it's a rare event? Pfffftt! Happens all the time.
EVERYONE who owns a web site needs to be aware and know what to
do!
The iCop copy came down quickly once I contacted the site
owners.
Unfortunately, I really wanted to show you a bit more of what
can be done. I had started the process of reporting it to
Google, Yahoo! and PayPal. But, I was interrupted by someone
posting the situation on his blog.
The site needed to be up and showing the stolen material when
those companies checked it. This could have resulted in loss of
search engine listings and of any PayPal account. In fact,
Google puts up a notice that a site has been removed and tells
why!
But, once the situation became public, I had to go ahead and
issue a cease and desist email. My fault.
I should have asked y'all to keep it under your hats until my
work was accomplished. Then, you could have seen the full
spectrum of what can be done.
In any event, it's all in "Beat Web Thieves at Their Own Game!"
The link is in today's newsletter issue. The private launch price
is for Trade Journal email issue readers only - and TOMORROW is
the LAST DAY for this price!
The Second Edition will be published with the increased price.
However, everyone who has bought the First Edition, at the lower
price, will receive a complimentary copy of the new one.
The Second Edition will also be turned over to the iCop
affiliates to sell at the public launch price.
Here we are at the first of August! It's time to get things
organized and decided for the selling “season” online. iCop
affiliates will be able to add "Beat Web Thieves at Their Own
Game!" to your product arsenal.
If you're just starting out online - now is the time! You'll
have several months of a great selling environment.
