Hello

when was the last time when you were offered an opportunity to become a founding member in a business which is poised to become the FIRST $BILLION with a Huge B, home based business in the travel arena?

If you were in the future, looking back at this opportunity and you did NOT join, would you be kicking yourself?

Here is your unprecedented HUGE chance, while Platinum One Destinations is still in soft launch, to become a coveted founding member in P1D.

Yes, not all the systems are fully in place (but I would argue we have more systems in place than most businesses after a decade of being in business), you will be rewarded for being a pioneer, for being forward thinking, for being one of the first taking a chance on P1D (if you can call it a chance).

Or, you can take your time, sit back and observe and when the full launch comes, this Fall 2008, you can be the first one to question the logic of holding back?

Did you sit back and watch Microsoft stocks soar? or Home Depot's stocks split?

Don't make the same mistake by procrastinating on this once in a blue moon opportunity.

"Don't stay home without it"

Read the words above...they will be part of every day language, sooner and not later, and you have the opportunity of BEING IN, and not out!

They're still in Japan.   Ninja and Special K take in a Kyoto light show.    They also wander into an open air taiko drumming performance in Osaka.

Special Mattcha Chocolate Pastry

Ninja and Special K wanted to give you the highlights of their trip to Japan, but only got as far as the desserts in Omotesando Hills and the sukiyaki at Yoshinoya . All they could talk about was the food.  Ninja shares a soundscape from Omotesando shopping centres.

Dear oh Dear...

the sky is falling down...all these coastal vacations members are being bullied into joining Platinum One Destinations....by Synergy Marketing Group.....against their will....

The assumption is we have to be warned about the decisions we wish to make, because we know no better.

For example:

"Home Business Coach Jay NaPier Warns Against Platinum One Destinations (P1D)"

http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=58043

and

"Platinum One Destinations (P1D) Launch Causes Confusion" by Dean Marino

http://transworldnews.com/NewsStory.aspx?id=33462&cat=1

If the reader is not savvy, the press releases might look as if they have been written by the press, to indeed warn us about the goings on in P1D.

Utilizing press releases as a method of advertising has been a popular way to advertise by many in Coastal Vacations and looking at the current explosion of new releases it appears that it remains so.

Press releases are not all they appear and I urge you to read my article regarding them:

http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Truth-Behind-Coastal-Vacations-Press-Releases&id=510473

The bottom line is, Platinum One Destinations has brought in $2 Million dollars since launching on January 1st 2008.

Which means....some of this money might have gone towards the purchase of Coastal Vacations packages.

I personally have never been involved in a business so simple to share as P1D and NetTrav.

You will not find Platinum One Destinations members releasing negative press releases about Coastal Vacations. All the so called "warnings" and negativity appears to be all one way?

And why should that be? I think the answer is apparant for all to see.

It is bad practice to burn bridges, you never know when you might want to cross back on one.

The home based business market is HUGE, there is enough for everyone no matter which business they choose to be in.....

In conclusion, the sky is not falling and everyone should do his/her due diligence before joining any home business.

Jay and Dean, if you wish to find out more about P1D I would love to share it with you both, it might just be the perfect adjunct to your coastal businesses....it was to mine.

:-)

Cheers

Special K's New Travel Bolt Cutters

Special K takes charge and gets industrial bolt cutters from the hotel in Kyoto to cut the lock off Ninja's suitcase. Everyone in the lobby claps.  Then they get real quiet and head off to major meditation spots in Kyoto to find satori.  Ninja is hypnotized by a Buddhist monk who reads translated Japanese public health pamphlets to her and is only released from his powerful mind grip when she agrees that his English is flawless.

Octopus and Squid at Tsukiji

Amid water, ice, and seafood guts, Ninja and Special K get up at a freakishly early hour to catch the action at the largest fish market in the world. Tsukiji Market is found in the heart of Tokyo, Japan.  Special K pulls up her socks and rolls up her pants while dodging the seafood transport scooters to experience the most fun you can have at 5:30 in the morning.

The Penninsula Hotel Tokyo 

Ninja does a soundscape of her and Special K's first day in Japan.   Ninja feels like she has finally come home. Places in Tokyo mentioned: Hibya Park, The Imperial Palace, The Penninsula Hotel.

The Imperial Palace Gardens 

Vancouver Departure Lounge Fake Stream with Fake Nature Sounds - Fooey

Ninja muses on the reasons why people have to travel.  Then she takes us to the middle of the Vancouver departure lounge during a three hour stopover en route to...well you'll have to tune in to the next shows to find out where in the world Ninja is going.

Snipers on the White House Roof

Finally.   The last stop on Ninja, Special K and Charlie's Road Trip.   Join them on some soundscape of the city sights, galleries and history.  Ninja wanted to have a talk with the leader of the free world, but he wasn't in the night she visited.

(By the way listeners:   Today is the anniversary of my second year podcasting.)

I have been disturbingly quiet lately as life beat me down but I will be posting several items over the next few days as I do reports on my attendance at the annual Ontario Library Association SuperConference. Sessions I attended included

• Thursday
  RADICAL TRUST: WHY '2.0' REALLY MATTERS TO LIBRARIES by Doug Horne
  INFORMATION IS NOT ENOUGH: SHAPING THE USER EXPERIENCE by Joan Frye Williams 
  NEXT GENERATION CATALOGUE: NOT SO CONFIDENTIAL: EXPOSING 2.0 WEB SITES by John Blyberg 
• Friday
  PRODUCE YOUR OWN LIBRARY TV SHOWS: LITERACY IN A BOX by  Brenda WIlson
  BEST PRACTICES FOR SOCIAL SOFTWARE IN LIBRARIES by Michael Stephens
• Saturday 
  SOLUTIONS FOR A NEW GENERATION by Max Valiquette 
  TOP TECH TRENDS Panel with Michael Stephens, Amanda Etches-Johnson and John Blyberg 
  SOCIAL TOOLS: MORE THAN JUST A GOOD TIME by Jenn Horwath and Cynthia Williamson

I didn't plan to attend these sessions as much as I lucked into them through the good advice of friends at the Conference. The sessions with Doug Horne, John Blyberg and Michael Stephens were particularly good.

 I found myself during the sessions writing down lists of webpages I had never heard of but which were very intriguing. Services like "Library Thing" and "Last FM" sound fantastic. But I am still absorbing heaps of info so it will take a few days at best before I can make any real sense of what I have seen and heard. But as I describe the sessions I will be linking to locations and examples on the web.

A couple of weeks ago I asked listeners to imagine travelling in the back of my taxi what questions would you like to ask me. Someone has emailed me at http://www.edinburghcast.com asking for my help. I won’t give his name out as it’s very secret at the moment and I don’t want to risk spoiling the surprise. He says how much he enjoys the show and listens every Monday; it’s a great way to take the edge of the start of my working week. Well that got my attention, and inspired me to look into his questions and give them some thought. He goes on to explain that he has given himself a kick up the back side and organised flights to Edinburgh for a two day break in March, and intends to ask his girlfriend to marry him, whilst they are here. Well we couldn’t get any more romantic; spring is in the air. He has put some thought into his plan and come up with some good ideas. There are a lot of things he would like to know about the city so he can quite rightly make the most of the occasion.

Hi there and welcome to http://www.edinburghcast.com/ our webcast, our podcast and any other way you listen to us. Hope we find you all well, and the sun is shining on you, it is on, us, yea it’s a beautiful day in Edinburgh, spring has come early for us, this year, forecast says it should last until the weekend, hope so. Planned to put a show together early this morning, for you all to listen to, but just couldn’t resist taking advantage of the sunny day and had a walk along the beach instead, I know you have been patiently waiting for the show that was abandoned on Sunday and I apologise. Today on the show we do continue with Neil’s tour of the Royal Mile, which focuses on the Deacon Brodie story and the influences this character, had on the writer Robert Louis Stevenson, News stuff from me, and three songs from the podsafe music network. Do you like my choice of music? If you would like to hear any thing else; e-mail me with your suggestions, although the songs should come from the podsafe music network, to save us any copyright problems. Its something worth doing there is such a variety of new music put up on the site, bands, singers, song writers, composers, lots of them with plenty of fresh enthusiasm for their music, check them out by clicking on the podsafe music network link, which you will find at the bottom of the notes for this show., which you will find at edinburghcast.com The first piece of music we have for you today from the P.M.N is Glasgow based band Finniston. Brother and sister Steven and Jolene grew up in the north east of Scotland before finally settling in Glasgow, I think you can hear the softer northern influence of this which has left them with a kind of Beatles ala Paul McCartney Yesterday silly love songs, kind of feel, this song is called Peace Of Mind and you can buy their EP Popular Music That Will Last Forever at I tunes music store

Hello and welcome to http://www.edinburghcast.com/ our celebration show to the Scottish Bard Robert Burns. Rabbie Burns Birthday was on the 25th January. Later in the program, we have our attempt at our own Burns supper. And something different in this weeks tour spot, we are hightlighting Robert Burns relationship with Edinburgh. With music drawn from local talent through the podsafe music network and some poems from us; it’s a show full of Edinburg’s cultural flavour ha ha some hope.

I am hoping to add a new section to this program in the near future; answering questions that listeners have about Edinburgh. Imagine you were sitting in the back of my taxi; what questions would you ask me about the city? feel free to test my knowledge, please send in your questions and perhaps, also suggestions of what kind of subjects you would to hear us talk about.
