LET'S TALK BUSINESS

MySpace - the latest marketing and promotion tool

MySpace accounts have become a rage in the webmaster world. People are willing to buy MySpace accounts with several thousands of friends added to the account. For those who have no idea what this is about, I am talking about a free account with http://www.myspace.com. My Space is a networking site similar to Ryze.

What exactly does MySpace have to offer to people looking to promote their sites. I am sure you must have had the question in your mind for long. Well, here's the answer. MySpace has a feature called a 'Bulletin'. It is just like a newsletter. You can send the 'bulletin' to all friends your MySpace group and there are hardly any restrictions on advertising your businesses in the bulletin. So, there you go! You have the most powerful tool - direct email - to work for you, absolutely free!

Obviously, the more friends you have, the more the response your ad gets. If you don't want to go through the headache of making several thousand friends at My Space, you can simply buy somebody's existing account. And if you want to avoid keeping up with thousands of virtual friends, you can pay My Space account holders to promote your business in their bulletin. Just like you would advertise in some ezine.

PASSOVER RECIPES

Matzoh

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup wholewheat flour
spring water

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Mix two flours together and add water until you have a soft, kneadable dough. Knead about five minutes. Let dough rest a couple of minutes.

Break off egg-sized portions of dough. Stretch as thinly as you can before rolling into thin, oval slabs that are as thin as possible.

Prick each slab with a fork or pastry docker. Place on baking sheet and as soon as sheet is filled with matzohs, place in oven, and bake until crisp and buckled, about 3 minutes. Cool and eat.

Passover Brownie Cake

Ingredients

5 eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 1/2 cups white sugar
1 1/4 cups matzo cake meal
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups chopped walnuts

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and the sugar together. Add the oil. Mix in the cake meal and the cocoa.

2. Add nuts, or use the nuts as a topping. I put nuts on top rather than in this cake for two reasons. They make the top look good without having to frost it. Also, for those who don't or can't eat nuts, they are easily removed without having to search for them.

3. Pour batter into a greased 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for about 35 minutes. The secret to a moist brownie cake, Pesach or otherwise, is to underbake it. Check it at about 30 minutes.

WEDDINGS

Easter Wedding Theme

"Spring" - The best time of the year to have a wedding. So why not make it a wedding to remember by having a Easter theme and let everyone go over board on an Easter bonnet.

Location
Garden, marquee. A marquee may be best as it tends to be cold at Easter time.

Invites
Choose a card reflecting your wedding colours. You could make make your own cards in the shape of Easter eggs or fluffy yellow chicks. Send your card together with a small Easter Egg.

Decor
Decorate walls with daisy chains make them with yellow and white crepe paper. Cover tables in pale yellow or spring green and white. Attach tissue primroses to lengths of satin ribbon and drape around tables or wind around poles in marquee. Make name cards in the shape of Easter eggs and chicks. Make table decorations. A flower arrangement in a small woven basket with a silk bow attached to the handle. Fill modern translucent plastic coloured vases with yellow tulips. Have someone dressed as a Easter bunny to hand out Easter eggs.

Brides attire
Opt for a nice soft fabric dress like, chiffon. Choose colours like pale yellow, ivory or white. Add beading and lace to the bodice. Wear spring flowers in your hair.

Grooms attire
A white suit would go lovely with the Easter theme. But if it's too daring Have the shirt, and waist coat matching with your outfit.

Flowers
Early seasonal yellow and white flowers include daffodil, narcissus, lilly of the valley, primrose, forsythia, lilies, freesia, iris, hyacinth, ranunculus and tulips. Mix a lot of green in with the bouquet. A bunch of tulips tied with ribbon makes a striking bouquet.

Cake
Have figures of the bride and groom emerging from two halves of a golden Easter Egg. Have lemon icing on your cake, with small chicks iced around each tier and a large fluffy chick on the top, standing in a nest with the bride and groom.

Favours
Give mini baskets with, Cadburys cream eggs, mini fluffy chicks, and an Easter card.
