Below are the details for the Portland, Oregon event.

Becoming a Captain:

If you were thinking of supporting a charitable cause and becoming a team captain, now is the perfect time to get signed up. You can do it all online. You can fill out the form and get registered online. They even have tools to help you get started and be successful, as well as how to keep it fun and encourage your team.

Invite team members. (Remember, if you invite three, they’ll each invite three, and so on, and then you will have a great team!) You’ll need at least 9 to create a successful team.

You are encouraged to set an individual goal. It can be any dollar amount above $200, but teams are rewarded special prizes for going above and beyond this amount.

A team meeting may be helpful to get everyone excited about the project and to set your goals and standards. This meeting may also e used to explain the team website and the setup of their personal website space.

Get them excited! Your own enthusiasm will be contagious.

Make sure to collect all of your off line funds. You will be the last step before the funds are sent to the organization, so be ready to collect from each team member.


How to donate:

You can easily donate online. I did, and it was too easy. I did a search for my local walk and then donated to a walker that I now. I was able to do it all online with a credit card just like online shopping. The minimum donation amount is $5, but you will get a t-shirt for donating over $50!

It has become blatantly obvious lately that I have a bit of an organization problem. I find myself moving one pile to clear out an area to use something, and then moving it back in order to use something else.

My plan is to go to the new IKEA today and see if i can find some cheap solutions to my hoarding problem. Then again, maybe I should just throw some stuff away. No, I might need that stuff later. The first step to fixing your problem is admitting you have one, right?

Now here is a new twist on the online backup solution market. Check out IBackup.com and their IDrive for IBackup. See it in action here: online storage

IDrive for IBackup is the only online backup or storage solution that I have ever seen that offers you the ability to map your online storage as a network drive on your local computer. This allows you to use the explorer interface to drag and drop files back and forth as you deem necessary to allow you to properly backup or store your important files.

You have complete control of your files. You can open a file, edit it, run it, and then save it, all from your networked backup storage space on Ibackup.com. Even more important these days are the use of 128 Bit SSL support, the most secure possible in the international market. Even with all of these features, IDrive for IBackup guarantees superior performance of up to 30% better than the competition.

The IDrive works with Windows Vista, Windows XP (Service Pack 2), Windows Server 2003, and Windows 2000, which makes it ideal for workplace storage and is perfect for the small to medium-sized business.

Sponsored review:

I recently was asked about the site: http://thoof.com/a/P-U8v_R8EYYnwQ%3D%3D/thoof available at Personalized News. Below is a review of what I saw.

The site is described as a site that learns your interests and the news and information that you are interested in, and then displays similar or related items that you might be interested in.

Thoof.com uses a “personalization algorithm”. This means that the site users can browse the stories that may interest them on their first visit, and Thoof.com will then be able to use their unique algorithm to find stories or news articles that you may be interested in on your next visit. You also become part of the vote as to which stories or news articles matter and what changes to make. All users’ votes will make up the democracy that is Thoof.com, and will direct the way that Thoof.com displays the information and news stories.

Each individual news story has many different options. The biggest option is to click on the star next to the story to place your vote for this story and others like or related to it. You have the option of reading the complete story, let Thoof.com know that this story is of no interest to you, or send the link to the article to someone else via an email link. Each article is also tagged by the referrer as to the content; this helps Thoof.com to match stories to your interests.

The technology used in Thoof.com’s algorithm are similar to the ones used Amazon.com and Buy.com to track the users preferences and interests to match products for sale. The idea behind Thoof.com is unique in that instead of trying to sell you products, it gives you what you want: All of the articles you want, few you don’t.
