Teacher creates book "No, George, No! the RE-PARENTING of George W. Bush"
San Jose, CA (ContentDesk) May 10, 2004--The teacher who started a controversy by creating the Operation Hidden Agenda playing cards, which aimed to present an alternative point of view to the "Iraq's Most Wanted" playing cards is back and she has another lesson to teach."Last year, I created the Operation Hidden Agenda playing cards because I had a hard time finding the truth about the war.
After the war was declared officially over, I noticed the devastation that was all around us due to the war and to U. S. Policies. I was walking through Yosemite in October of last year, and the title of a book "No, George, No! The RE-PARENTING of George W.
Bush" came to me.
The story of a young boy named George who is taught important lessons in life by a Truth Fairy flowed easily while I began writing." says Kathy Eder, the creator of Operation Hidden Agenda playing cards and the soon-to-be released "No, George, No! The RE-PARENTING of George W. Bush.""I was turned down...
Decorating for the Holidays When Short on Time & Money
Lucky you if you live in the north (of the US). Lucky all of us that nature is plentiful in providing free supplies for decorating our homes for Thanksgiving no matter where we live.
Even in South Texas at this time of year I can wander outside and clip off some branches from my yellow-berried pyracantha (I planted some with yellow berries as well as red just for this occasion), and grab a handful of at least brown leaves. If you live in the north and can garner pine cones, seed pods, pine branches and fallen leaves in all their glorious colors, use these as the basis for your color scheme.I'm also lucky to have a garden full of chrysanthemums in bloom ready to be put around in vases in the house. Since they're perennials (down here), I can always count on having them come back this time of year.
Check your yard and garden for blooms in keeping with your color scheme (and next year, consider planting accordingly).

How to Waste Money and Annoy Potential Customers
Why do some companies bid on keywords for products they don't even sell? Or fail to provide the basic information people need to make the decision to buy? Here's a cautionary tale-- with a happy ending. Has this ever happened to you? I'm looking online for lamp shades. I go to Google and click on the top Sponsored Link in the right column: Expo.com. I'm taken to their "Lighting and Fans" page. There are 29 links in the left navigation, but no lamp shades.
So I do a keyword search. Products Found = 0. All I can do is wonder why they wasted my time and their money, and move on to the next ad. Close, but no cigar. Clicking on the second ad takes me to a home page with a "Shades" tab.
I click on that and arrive on a page with information about sizes and a link to the lamp shade collection. I start browsing and find one I'm interested in. The text instructs me to "Click on lamp image for detail." I guess they mean lamp shade image. I...
