			<description><![CDATA[<p>Ryan, Tom Brady wasn't great in the beginning of his career either.  Tim Tebow wants to bow in the end zone and praise his God instead of dancing like some party pooper, people want to harass him.  Of course he's not great yet, but if someone believed in him like they did Brady and all the rest he will become great also.  Look at Tony Romo, he just seems like he just can't get it done but the owner believes in him, that's the difference and eventually he'll win a Super Bowl.  Give Tim Tebow the same chance and because of his beliefs he want fail.  From a ex football player also who failed in tryouts with Dallas Cowboys 1983 and classmate of Rueban  Gant Buffalo Bill Player with O.J. Simpson,  Build these ball players don't tear them down - Albert Tyler

BISAC: Self-Help / Death, Grief, Bereavement</p>
<p>Grief is a hot topic. Grieving is healing. In this eclectic collage Vorkink Machin embraces the light and rainbows of a tiny tear drop crystal prism. In the wave of mass shootings, high male suicides, worldwide civil wars, and local tragedies, we grieve often. Yes, we are survivors. Vorkink Machin, a senior poet/storyteller, envisions in the rainbow prisms of light from resiliency, transformation, and creativity. Using personal narratives, shadowboxes, and poetry, the prisms of grief bring the reader more intimate with grieving as healing, transforming the broken heart, and compassion for others. A book for all ages, those who grieve presently, and those who will. We are<br />
reminded that death is our teacher.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I recently started a blog (my first) and have more than ample time to promote it aggressively.  Unfortunately, I'm clueless about what to do.</p>
<p>I would like to hear from everybody and anybody who has direct personal experience with successful promotion techniques as well as any referrals to other forums where this same subject has been addressed.</p>
<p>My blog is addressed to mature adults interested in commentary on modern American issues of society and culture but as long as your efforts have been effective promoting any other topics (music, zoology, whatever as long as it isn't salacious) I'm interested in knowing what has worked.
