			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Evolv – Team Moran Partners With Marketing and Internet<br />
Firm Zowbie Consulting to Support Team</strong></p>
<p>Atlanta, GA, October 26, 2009 – Evolv – Team Moran, an Atlanta based distribution team for Evolv, natural spring water enhanced with Archaea Active™ , will launch this week with a power house of Senior Executives. Team Moran announced today that they will partner with marketing and branding firm Zowbie Consulting.</p>
<div id="attachment_63" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 372px"><a href="http://drinkandevolv.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/evolv-team-moran-with-evolvhealth-founder-trey-white.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-63  " style="margin: 10px;" title="evolv team moran with evolvhealth founder trey white" src="http://drinkandevolv.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/evolv-team-moran-with-evolvhealth-founder-trey-white.jpg" alt="Dave Moran with EvolvHealth Founder Trey White and Chief Executive Officer, Brent Hicks" width="362" height="235" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Dave Moran with EvolvHealth Founder Trey White and Chief Executive Officer, Brent Hicks</p></div>
<p>Founder, Dave Moran currently advises wealthy families on their investment portfolios and is a Certified Financial Planner™. With a vision to bring health and wealth to individuals, Team Moran brings strong entrepreneurial and leadership skills to a launching team of highly skilled professionals. Moran has a Business Degree from the University of Florida.<br />
Archaea Active™ is an essential formula in the Evolv Beverage that utilizes all natural ingredients to bring many health benefits.  These ingredients include enzymes from pineapple and papaya, extracts from alfalfa stems and leaves, and protein from milk whey.</p>
<p>More than 15 years of scientific research and development have been invested in the proprietary, all natural Archaea Active™ formula. Evolv combines this colorless and flavorless formula with natural spring water to deliver the health benefits of good hydration with optimal oxygen utilization and increased stamina, energy and endurance.  In vitro testing was conducted at The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and FutureCeuticals®.</p>
<p>Discovered only 32 years ago, Archaea refers to the group of microscopic, single-celled microorganisms that are the simplest form of life. There are only about 200 experts worldwide who study Archaea. These cells have adapted to survive the harshest environments and are currently giving researchers many insights, including the repair strategies of DNA.</p>
<p>Moran noted “To partner with a company that believes in giving back, being healthy and creating wealth is exciting. Trey White and his executive team at Evolv Health bring the knowledge, marketing resources and training to a product that could sell itself. We are thrilled to lead up a division of the distribution team.”</p>
<p>EvolvHealth, LLC is a direct sales company developed by a team of scientists in conjunction with seasoned entrepreneurs, marketers and direct sellers. The team is led by the Founder and Chairman, Mr. Trey White.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I felt that this announcement was worthy of posting as it is such a great deal that I needed to share it with my clients as well as those who visit this site for educational purposes.</p>
<p>I have used the website, <a title="Restaurant Gift Certificates" href="http://www.restaurant.com"><strong>Restaurant.com</strong></a> in the past to purchase gift certificates to some of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta and Chicago.  A $25 gift certificate can be purchased for $10; there are requirements&#8230;in this case you&#8217;d probably be required to spend at least $35 at the restaurant excluding drinks.</p>
<p>Today I received an email that really got me excited, 90% off the purchase of any gift certificate until this Sunday, September 13th!  That means that the $25 gift certificate mentioned above that costs $10 will only cost $1 until Sunday!</p>
<p>There is no cost to enroll and setup an account with Restaurant.com  Click on the link below and give it a shot&#8230;see what restaurants in your area are offering gift certificates.  To receive the 90% off on your purchase, be sure to enter in the discount code, &#8220;NINETY&#8221; (at the top of the shopping cart page), then hit apply.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="Restaurant.com 90% off promotion" href="http://www.restaurant.com/consumer-promotion/lp_3a.asp?raid=2519&amp;j=9613853&amp;e=contactme@carlhmartens.com&amp;l=1217970_HTML&amp;u=96648042&amp;mid=77657&amp;jb=0&amp;rpid=3801"><img class="size-full wp-image-380 aligncenter" title="restaurant.com ninety percent off" src="http://www.zowbie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/restaurant.com-ninety-percent-off.jpg" alt="restaurant.com ninety percent off" width="488" height="334" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.zowbie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/7-reasons-not-to-attend-retechsouth.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-207 aligncenter" title="7-reasons-not-to-attend-retechsouth" src="http://www.zowbie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/7-reasons-not-to-attend-retechsouth.jpg" alt="7-reasons-not-to-attend-retechsouth" width="550" height="200" /></a></p>
<p><strong>1.  You already know everything there is to know about real estate, marketing, technology, and business strategies.</strong> If you have mastered each of these areas, then give the $150 as an extra tip to your private jet pilot as you most certainly roll like that.</p>
<p><strong>2.  Barack Obama was unavailable for the keynote.</strong> If you were only coming to see the President, then you can stay home.  However, Dave Jenks, yes that Dave Jenks: co-author of “Shift” and “The Millionaire Real Estate Agent”, will be the keynote and he may be worth the $150 by himself.</p>
<p>3<strong>.  You are morbidly afraid of friendly smart people.</strong> REtechSouth will be crawling with the smartest people in the real estate industry and rumor has it they are all very friendly and approachable.  Stay home if you can’t stand meeting smart people who are actually nice to you.</p>
<p><strong>4.  You think Google is fake.</strong> If you believe wrestling is real but landing on the moon and all that internet stuff that came later is fake, then stay home and spend the $150 for the next wrestling event on pay-per-view.</p>
<p><strong>5.  You like doing things the hardest way possible.</strong> All of the tips, tools and technologies presented at REtechSouth are simple to use and will take up very little of your time.  It’s best for you stay home and try to reinvent the wheel, design a better paper clip, or walk and chew gum &#8211; as these things are way harder to do than anything shared at REtechSouth.</p>
<p><strong>6. You believe having fun is for losers.</strong> If you’d rather be miserable than happy, then do not show up at REtechSouth.  There will be live music, entertaining speakers, cool visuals, and it all ends with a cash bar networking happy hour.</p>
<p><strong>7.  You’re married to Brad Nix or Matt Fagioli.</strong> These guys have been consumed with making REtechSouth a kick ass event for almost 5 months and their wives are certainly tired of hearing about the newest ‘dynamite speaker’ or latest ‘elite sponsor’.  So stay home and enjoy a day without REtechSouth only if you are married to Brad or Matt.</p>
<p>Unless one of the 7 above apply, then you should hurry up and take advantage of this <a title="REtechSouth Registration" href="http://retechsouth.eventbrite.com/?discount=kwcm" target="_blank"><strong>$25 off discount code</strong></a> and get your butt down south for REtechSouth, March 20th, Gwinnet Center.  See you there!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">The following press release was forwarded to me by Brad Nix of Maxsell Real Estate, one of the founders of REtechSouth.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Register Today for the REtechSouth 2nd Annual Conference</strong><br />
<em>Conference to be held at the Gwinnett Center in Atlanta March 20, 2009</em></p>
<p>ATLANTA – Registration is now open for the 2009 <strong><a title="REtechSouth" href="http://www.retechsouth.com">REtechSouth Conference</a></strong>. Presented by Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, REtechSouth was created out of the desire to host a conversation about the technological changes impacting the real estate industry. After astounding success with last year&#8217;s conference, the event returns in 2009, bringing together the best minds in the industry. The conference will be attended by agents, brokers, lenders, builders and other real estate leaders that want to learn from and teach one another about how technology can improve business. REtechSouth will be held Friday, March 20, 2009 at the Gwinnett Center in Duluth.</p>
<p>The keynote presentation will be given by Dave Jenks, a leader in the real industry and co-author of four best selling books, including “<strong><a title="The Millionaire Real Estate Agent" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0071444041?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=zowbiconsu-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0071444041" target="_blank">The Millionaire Real Estate Agent</a></strong>.” Jenks has spent close to 30 years in real estate with Century 21 and Keller Williams Realty. He recently launched <a title="Business wisdom, strategies and tactics" href="http://www.freeenterprisewarriors.com" target="_blank"><strong>FreeEnterpriseWarriors.com</strong></a> a Web-based company dedicated to providing business wisdom, strategies and tactics to the growing entrepreneurial global transformation.</p>
<p>REtechSouth will challenge the technically advanced attendee while still delivering the nuts and bolts of getting started to beginners. The schedule of events for the day strives to answer some of the most pressing industry questions. The conference will start with a State of the REunion address, a conversation about the current market and marketing conditions. General topics to be covered during the Main Stage include Flickr for real estate, Google Adwords, Blogging for Leads, Real Estate Video, New Media Tips/Tactics, the Future of Real Estate Search and more. Other learning opportunities include the REtechLab, which will offer basic training for attendees in blogging, social media, email marketing, personal branding and more, and REtechCamp will cover the advanced topics of future real estate office design, writing posts for link bait and more.  Finally, REtechStations will offer a place to drop by and ask an expert specific questions one-on-one.</p>
<p>REtechSouth also welcomes vendors to the conference to showcase their products, but more importantly, to engage with the audience. Sponsorships, though limited, are also still available.</p>
