Lorem ipsum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In publishing and graphic design, lorem ipsum is placeholder text (filler text) commonly used to demonstrate the graphic elements of a document or visual presentation, such as font, typography, and layout. The lorem ipsum text is typically a section of a Latin text by Cicero with words altered, added and removed that make it nonsensical in meaning and not proper Latin. A close English translation of the words lorem ipsum might be "pain itself" (dolorem = pain, grief, misery, suffering; ipsum = itself).
Even though "lorem ipsum" often arouses curiosity because of its resemblance to classical Latin, it is not intended to have meaning. Where text is comprehensible in a document, people tend to focus on the textual content rather than upon overall presentation, so publishers use lorem ipsum when displaying a typeface or design elements and page layout in order to direct the focus to the publication style and not the meaning of the text. In spite of its basis in Latin, use of lorem ipsum is often referred to as greeking, from the phrase "it's all greek to me" which indicates that this is not meant to be readable text

Happy Valentine's Day!
Saint Valentine's Day (commonly shortened to Valentine's Day)[1][2][3] is an annual commemoration held on February 14 celebrating love and affection between intimate companions.[1][3] The day is named after one or more early Christian martyrs named Valentine and was established by Pope Gelasius I in 500 AD. It was deleted from the Roman calendar of saints in 1969 by Pope Paul VI, but its religious observance is still permitted. It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). The day first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. - wikipedia

AVOID Email Scams
How do you know?
Recently, a client forwarded us a message that sounded pretty good but yet too good to be true. Her question was "Is this a scam?"
Our response: Usually if you have to ask, it is a scam.
If there are strange characters, page breaks, indentations and other incorrect or choppy english, it is usally a scam.
Here is an article about this particular scam our client received:
http://www.seony.com/20090922-marc-schneider-phd-spam-under-www-mplw-net/
Another good way to test if something is a scam is just to type the URL, EMAIL and SCAM into Google and see what shows up. For this one we searched for "mplw" and "scam". And got our answer.
