The Sentinel's Creed

My dedication to this sacred duty

is total and whole-hearted.

In the responsibility bestowed on me

never will I falter.

And with dignity and perseverance

my standard will remain perfection.

 

tombofunknown 

(Tomb of the Unknown)

 

Through the years of diligence and praise

and the discomfort of the elements,  

I will walk my tour in humble reverence

to the best of my ability.

It is he who commands the respect I protect,

his bravery that made us so proud.

Surrounded by well meaning crowds by day,

alone in the thoughtful peace of night,

this soldier will in honored glory rest

under my eternal vigilance.

April 2011 

Good afternoon:

 

Last month, we encouraged our clients to consider humanitarian efforts in Japan. The devastation will take years to repair and the nuclear plant damage is frightening and may have long-lasting and global impact. We hope everyone continues to give what they can and remember our friends in their thoughts and prayers.

 

On that cheery note, we thought this would be a good time to brighten your moods, give you something to think about other than catastrophes or the new health care bill (no, that's not a redundancy).

 

It's May - the month with the first three-day weekend since President's Day in February! On May 30th, we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. In honor of our fallen soldiers, see our sidebar and read the Sentinel's Creed, spoken by the soldiers who stand guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Solder, Arlington National Cemetery: "The Sentinel's Creed are the 99 words we live by. The words bring vast emotions to the surface when spoken by a Sentinel. We tend to stand a little taller, back a little straighter and our head just a little higher. These words capture the true meaning of why we are Tomb Guards. When ever a Tomb Guard salutes a commissioned officer, they always say in a loud voice: "Line Six, Sir!" (see the sidebar to read "Line 6" - information courtesy of TombGuard.org 

 

May 5th is, of course, Cinco de Mayo, an unofficial holiday that commemorates the Mexican army's 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867). Cinco de Mayo is celebrated in the United States as a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage. Cinco de Mayo traditions include parades, mariachi music performances and street festivals in cities and towns across Mexico and the United States.

Did Google Stop Sending You Traffic?

by Carol Tice

 

Back in February, search-engine giant Google made a change in its algorithms aimed at cutting the number of junk-content sites -- sometimes known as "content mills" that appear at the top of search results. The idea was to assign lower ranking to sites that use a lot of recycled or duplicate content, or that had many stories overstuffed with repetitive key words in an obvious attempt to rank higher... click here for the full article: Google

If you want to celebrate Cinco de Mayo (or other upcoming events in Southern California) visit BeachCalifornia.com for a list of sites and information.

 

Mother's Day Gift links:

 

Gifts.com - "hand-picked by experts" has gifts for New Mothers, SuperMoms and Grandmothers.  Gifts.com 

 

Diabetic Mother's Day Gift Basket - just because Mom has diabetes, there's no reason why she shouldn't be able to enjoy a basket full of goodies. Check out the gifft basket at  

Amazon.com 

 

If Mom enjoys fine chocolates, Godiva chocolates are always appreciated. If your order is $55.00 or more, Godiva will upgrade your gift to second-day shipping. Since today is Wednesday, you have two business days left to ship. After that, you'll be forced to deal with the mobs at the mall who also forgot to get Mom a gift in time. Godiva

 

1-800-Flowers.com - no explanation needed.

 

Berries.com - this site was a huge hit in our February Valentine newsletter, so we checked out their Mother's Day inventory... the word "scrumptious" comes to mind (we don't get to use that word often enough!). There is a broad assortment of chocolate-dipped berries and other sweets. Mmm... Scrumptious!
