I have never been an Opera fan. My mom loved Pavarotti....Anyway, I was watching a story on yahoo about Paul Potts So I go out to you-tube to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT3b3cRYRjs and I was simply amazed. This was a phone salesman that goes onto the British version of American Idol and just kills it. I had a tear in my eye as I watch this guy fulfill hi dreams. Amazing....worth the three minutes or so to watch.
Back to the tech stuff. Mike has been doing a great job at our email marketing. He really puts together a lot of great advertisements. Take a look at his latest telephone cable mailer: http://enews.showmecables.com/functions/message_view.html?mid=352053&mlid=8421&siteid=1003378&uid=259c383360
BTW the furniture guys are here for the 4th day to try to put us back together....I think they may be done today.

Cool Weather......Really
6" of snow over the weekend....that didn't seem to cool off the political discussion at a dinner party I attended on Saturday night. 8 conservatives around a table....that's unusual as it is.....
Great discussion on how the date is selected for Easter each year.....that's a crazy process. It's amazing how even within the same overall philosphies, we difer on the approach. This election year should be an interesting time. I have still not read too much on this Huckabee guy. Although, now he is running 1st in the polls in Iowa. I hear that he may hacve some skeletons or may be too "right" to be elected. This may be the reason the press and the libs have not shot him yet.
Who is this Ron Paul guy? I need to investigate a little on him also. Fred is picking up in the polls....
We have a distribution rack on special this week. See this adveritsment for the Distribution rack here: http://enews.showmecables.com/functions/message_view.html?mid=346421&mlid=8421&siteid=1003378&uid=259c383360
It's a great price. We made a great buy on these things.
Christamas only 8 days away.....I better start shopping.

Cool Prices on Handset Cords
Good Morning gang-
Busy couple of weeks coming at us. The ice storm has not helped the mid-west too much. In St Louis we went untouched. Although the weather has been gloomy for a week. I feel like I am back in Connecticut. They laid the carpet yesterday. They should finish it today. The furniture arrives Friday. The place is starting to come together. Our people have weathered the storm pretty well.
We have our annual Christmas get together this Thursday., That's right, I said Christmas.....I think it's poltically incorrect to make people say happy holidays.....the Holiday is Christmas. It's about Christ. I have many jewish friends, when it's Yam Kippur...I don't say happy holiday to them....I say have a great Yam Kippur celebration.
There is nothing worse then to pick up our phone and the base come flying with it. Bang...on the floor...or the thing swings at your face.... We sell a ton of these replacment handset cords
If you are buying just one....you can take advantage of our economy shipping for only $4.50. Beats Radio Shack all day long....and you don't need to drive there.
Gotta Run

Cool Special of the Day
It started snowing earlier today. Just a flurry....and it's cold. I am not a fan of winter weather. You would think being from New England, that I would like it......but for the 40 years I spent there....I hated it. The workers are still working on our space. They screwed up the heat and we have open doors everywhere. It's freezing in here....I have employees that have blankets wrapped around themselves as they work....nuts.
We started a new marketing campaign. It's called Hump Day Special. We offer a great specail on one product ecah Hump Day....Wednesday. This week it's a great price on "f" Connectors. They are a basic staple of CATV techs. Most homeowners would not need these in bulk....so it's not that cool of an item...but a cool special. We started last week with a jack for 99 cents....sold a ton of them and our customers liked the special.
Busy day today.......

Cool Rack Shelf
OK that title is not going to get you all hot and sweaty....but I will explain later why it's cool!
But first, AP writes about how the GVT wants to work with lenders, investors and banks about "making" them hold their teaser rates for a period of time. So I start to read this with interest.....not because I am looking for the GVT to help me with my teaser rate (I don't have one) I want to see how far the GVT will go to help the idiots that took them out in the first place.
These are the same nuts that financed their down payments, borrowed to get the closing costs...thought they were getting a great deal....No money down....look at me ....I have a house.
Same guy who can't afford the furniture...oh just wait, Rothmans will sell you furniture and no interest or payments until the next coming of Christ.
Anyway....I figure they would expect to hold a year or so....ok ....a little breathing room.....but know...in the fashion of big government sticking their nose in our business along with what PT Barnum stated in the 1800's...there's a sucker born every minute....They are looking to hold rates for 5-7 YEARS......That aggravates guys that take the time to make the right investments...but may not have all the luxuries (that they cannot afford) But some nut gets to keep all of his "stuff" without any consequences for his actions.
OK The rant needs to end.
I cleaned up all those wires in the basement. It's amazing how messy and confusing they can become. We sell racks and cabinets for commercial use. These devices are away to help organize the clutter. Recently they have started making residential level equipment.
ICC makes a line of Distribution Centers that is interesting to review.
Take a look http://www.showmecables.com/showProducts.asp?category_id=16977
If you are the type that wants that area cleaned up, these products will do the trick.
Fingers are tired.....gotta run.

Cool Interview
Fox News was here today. They did an interview with my partner about cables. I told you people that cables were cool!!!! Really, Elliot Weiler of the local St. Louis station bought one of our cables after he bought his TV last week. Funny thing is that he did not know we were in St. Louis until after he received a confirmation email. He wanted to do a story on how Best Buy and those other pirates gouge people on the cables. We had him in and did a test against Monster cable. He was impressed and it confirmed his own theory that there was no difference between our HDMI cables and those over priced cables at the big box stores! Our HDMI 2 meter cable sells for $11.97.....Monster's HDMI cable......$89.99 what a rip off.
He told us that we would be on the news this Thursday night. I hope to be able to capture it and post it here. We will see.....not sure I can figure that out.
I heard on the news last night that Huckabee is gaining popularity in Iowa. I also heard Laura Ingrahm crack on him this morning. Not sure on this thing yet.
