Our forum features a member of the AdlandPro community each week who is truly a bright and *SHINING STAR*. It is a person that may not necessarily be a "high-profile" person per say, but rather someone that is not only a great friend to many, but also has a good heart and truly cares about others.

********************************************

Let me introduce the most awesome group of team mates anyone could ever have! Not only are they my very good friends, but I also have the pleasure of working with them to bring this forum to all of you, each and every week;

Here are the qualifications that will be used in the selection of each honoree. People that are selected will be recognized based on:

1. Acts of kindness that they show to their fellow man.

2. Must be willing to help others, and treat people in a kindly manner.

3. Have a good-hearted nature, and shows it through all that they do.

4. Must be a positive role model, and set a good example

5. Must be professional, avoids negativity, and promotes success through faith and hard work

So, if you know of anyone here at AdlandPro that are not necessarily "high profile" people per say, and that don't get the recognition that they deserve, let us know. We will be helping to get people recognized that should be *A SHINING STAR*. All nominations must be in by Saturday and please tell us why you believe the person deserves to be recognized.

********************************************

NOW IT'S TIME TO FIND OUT WHO IS GOING TO BE OUR NEXT **SHINING STAR**



INTRODUCING TO YOU OUR 4th **SHINING STAR**: MRS KATHLEEN VANBEEKOM

Kathleen is such a wonderful person and a good friend to many here at ALP. She is very active in the Community and is always ready to help someone out. Some of Kathleen's interests include dogs and cats, crafts, poetry, and photography...just to name a few. Please help us to Congratulate Kathleen on being one of this week's *Shining Stars* :)

*******************************************

Here is what some of KATHLEEN'S friends have been saying about her;

"Kathleen is such a cute person...she has a great smile and big, bright eyes. I am happy to be friends with her."

"Kathleen is professional, dedicated, committed, courteous, and understanding. I am glad to call her my friend!"

"Kathleen has a positive spirit that shows all over the place. She is truly a great person."

"Kathleen is so dedicated to her business, her family, to having fun, and to sharing with her friends here at ALP. I am honored to have her as my friend!"

******************************************

The meaning of the name KATHLEEN;

KATHLEEN

Gender: Feminine
Usage: Irish, English
Pronounced: kath-LEEN

Anglicized form of CAITLÍN

KATHERINE

Gender: Feminine
Usage: English
Pronounced: KATH-u-rin, KATH-rin

From the Greek name Αικατερινη (Aikaterine). The etymology is debated: it could derive from the earlier Greek name ‘Εκατερινη (Hekaterine), which came from ‘εκατερος (hekateros) "each of the two"; it could derive from the name of the goddess HECATE; it could be related to Greek αικια (aikia) "torture"; or it could be from a Coptic name meaning "my consecration of your name". The Romans associated it with Greek καθαρος (katharos) "pure" and changed their spelling from Katerina to Katharina to reflect this.
The name belonged to a 4th-century saint and martyr from Alexandria who was tortured on the famous Catherine wheel. Another saint by this name was Catherine of Siena, a 14th-century mystic. This name was also borne by two empresses of Russia, including Catherine the Great, and by three of Henry VIII's wives.
*NOTE - For more information on this name , or any other name, please refer to the following website; http://www.behindthename.com/

*********************************************

Here is KATHLEEN'S bio;

I was surprised to be contacted about being featured in the Parade of Stars. Where do I start? Well, I read a lot, I always have since I was a kid. I was raised in a large Catholic family in suburban Philadelphia by two very overprotective parents, my father was strict but we kids always found ways to "escape" and have fun that we weren't supposed to, and get into trouble anyway. Being well-mannered and using good grammar were always high on his priority list. Good manners are something that onliners should rememember, words can and do affect people.

My mom was always very thrifty, even after she got an electric dryer she would still hang clothes outside on the clothesline so she wouldn't run up the electric bill. As teenagers, my sisters and I would be mortified to come home from school and see all our underwear hanging out there in plain view of the neighbors, not many people were still hanging out clothes in the late 1970's or early 1980's if they had a dryer. It's surprising how fast teenage girls can pull clothes off the line from embarrassment, much faster than if we'd just been told to do it as a chore.

I moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1985, got married in 1987. I have 2 grown stepsons who are both married with 1 child each. I also have 2 teenage sons, and currently 2 cats, we previously had a dog and a different cat that both passed on to pet heaven.

I've been active in marketing for a very long time, starting in mail-order before the internet was invented. Does anyone remember the pre-internet world? I'm still involved in the mail marketing field, that's a good way to learn patience and diligence in marketing, that seems to be the main difference between the types of people and the types of programs in mail versus the people and programs online. Mail takes time and postage investment, the internet is quick, people either quit quickly, lose money quickly, or jump onto other programs quickly because they don't need to wait to at least see a return on postage costs like the mail-order crowd.

I've been online for about 10 years, I started out advertising free affiliate programs and I still promote several of the good ones on a regular basis. Now the main income program I have earned the most money from is not a free affiliate site, it's Lotto Magic...this started as a mail-order business created by a publisher of a marketing newspaper in 1996 and is still mainly promoted by mail, even though they do offer a website to all members. I've been with it for almost a year now and it's better than ever. Membership in Lotto Magic has greatly increased in the last 2 years and now they've added 3 additional levels of commissions for Team Captains so 2008 looks like it will be red hot!

About being here in this community...I've said it before, Adlandpro Community is great for networking. Even free members can make unlimited daily personal contact with as many people as you can here on a daily basis. Other communities have limits on daily personal contact for free members.

The internet is a wide open field for anyone and everyone if you're promoting a good program, study everything you can about your business and make a commitment to it. Sometimes the benefits offered by a business are of more interest to prospective customers than the actual business itself. Different people respond to different things. Some people want to earn, of course, while other people may be more interested in saving money, saving time, or getting freebies.

It's my opinion that if people just read more about the businesses they are thinking about joining, and ask questions, they will be able to make better decisions. Then if they keep reading and asking questions of the administrators of those companies after they join, they will get enough very detailed information and gain more enthusiasm that will definitely attract more people to join with them.

More personal opinions about reading and enthusiasm...In 2004, I thought, no wonder voter turnout isn't higher, there are lots of people who don't even go to the library, which is free to everyone. In the upcoming election year, I hope more people read about the candidates, absorb the news from all aspects, both on conservative and liberal TV news stations and radio, and really be prepared to vote, and then make sure to register and actually vote next November. In the meantime, I hope more people regularly visit their local libraries, and also learn how to log onto the library computers in case your home computer ever breaks down. My computer was once broken for several months and I walked to the library 5 days a week during that time. We pay for the libraries with our taxes, but only a small percentage of people utilize what we're paying for.

Thanks for featuring me here!

I hope everyone has a fantastic week,

Kathleen

Thanks Marilyn, and the entire Parade of Stars Team, for another excellent Choice.

Hi Kathleen,

On Being Featured Here At This Week's

Parade Of Stars.

Enjoy Your Week To Shine

My Friend.

I thoroughly enjoyed your Bio. Although we've been Friends for a while now, seems like I always learn a little something new and interesting about you each time. I was particularly impressed by what you were saying about the importance of reading. Our Brains are the engine that operates our bodies through our nervous systems. If you don't continuously refuel an engine, it will quit working. Likewise, unless we continue to refuel our Brains with additional knowledge and information, it will also stop working. Then where we will be?

As for Voting, I'm reminded of a favorite Quote which tends to sum up the current state of affairs in our Country today.

"A citizen of America will cross the ocean to fight for democracy, but won't cross the street to vote in a national election." Bill Vaughan

Once again, I appreciate all that you do for us here at Adland, and I Thank You for being my Friend.

Happy Easter,

Phil

Sign up for our free in-home wireless broadband service

Google TiSP (BETA) is a fully functional, end-to-end system that provides in-home wireless access by connecting your commode-based TiSP wireless router to one of thousands of TiSP Access Nodes via fiber-optic cable strung through your local municipal sewage lines.

Installing a typical home TiSP system is a quick, easy and largely sanitary process -- provided you follow these step-by-step instructions very, very carefully.

#1 Remove the spindle of fiber-optic cable from your TiSP installation kit.

#2 Attach the sinker to the loose end of the cable, take one safe step backward and drop this weighted end into your toilet.

#3 Grasp both ends of the spindle firmly while a friend or loved one flushes, thus activating the patented GFlush™ system, which sends the weighted cable surfing through the plumbing system to one of the thousands of TiSP Access Nodes.

#4 When the GFlush is complete, the spindle will (or at least should) have largely unraveled, exposing a connector at the remaining end. Detach the cable from the spindle, taking care not to allow the cable to slip into the toilet.

#5 Plug the fiber-optic cable into your TiSP wireless router, which has a specially designed counterweight to withstand the centripetal force of flushing.

#6 Insert the TiSP installation CD and run the setup utility to install the Google Toolbar (required) and the rest of the TiSP software, which will automatically configure your computer's network settings.

#7 Within sixty minutes -- assuming proper data flow -- the other end of your fiber-optic cable should have reached the nearest TiSP Access Node, where our Plumbing Hardware Dispatchers (PHDs) will remove the sinker and plug the line into our global data networking system.

#8 Congratulations, you're online! (Please wash your hands before surfing.)

Note: If you have any difficulty installing, operating or simply living with TiSP, we suggest joining the TiSP Help Group.

Professional Installation Service
You can also choose to request our professional installation service, which dispatches an army of factory-trained, sub-contracted nanobots from the TiSP Access Node. The nanobots travel with exhilarating nano-speed through the sewer system and into your home to perform the installation service, which should be complete within 15 minutes. Note: For your own physical safety and emotional well-being and in consideration of the nanobots' working conditions, please make absolutely certain that your toilet is unoccupied at the scheduled appointment time.

In-Commode Package Delivery
With professional installation service, you can also have your Google Checkout purchases delivered directly through the sewage network into your bathroom. Each package comes pre-sealed in a watertight and nanobot-resistant bag made of biodegradable corn-based plastic. For a limited time, TiSP subscribers who sign up for a Checkout account will receive free bathroom delivery on their first ten Checkout purchases.

TiSP for Enterprise
We're actively developing a higher-performance version of TiSP specifically tailored to small and medium-sized businesses, including 24-hour, on-site technical support in the event of backup problems, brownouts and data wipes.
