Japanese growing used automotive parts company is seeking to expand the business in Texas area.

The corporate website:
http://www.3-r.co.jp/english/home.html

I am scheduled to have a meeting with the CEO of the company
on March 28. We are seeking for the following candidates.

1. Web Designer to modify the English website.
Experiences with automotive industries preferred.

2. Local auto repair shops and parts shops who are interested in purchasing quality Japanese used auto parts. (No import experience required)

There is a company called Transcendent Innovations (known as 'Trainn') which is basically a marketing company. They represent advertisers such as Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly, Scholastic Books, etc. Those companies pay Trainn to get consumers (you and I) to try their services. They figure the direct cost of trying to market something to and decide why not pay that to someone who can guarantee them a whole bunch of new eyeballs. In this case, they'll pay you with a brand new Nintendo Wii just for doing something as simple as trying out Blockbuster for 30 days.

Getting Started

First, follow this link:

http://www.yournintendowii4free.com/index.php?ref=5436076

That will take you to the sign-up page. Just follow the simple instructions to sign up - I suggest you set your account as a 'Referral' account, rather than a 'Points' account. That way, you'll only need to complete one free trial offer, and will get a few of your friends to do the same (but more on that later). Once, you're signed up, Trainn will send you an email confirming your account. Now you're all set to get that offer completed and out of the way.

Completing an Offer

When you first log in to the site, you'll see a tab labeled 'Progress' - this shows how far along you are to getting your free Nintendo Wii. Click on the tab labeled 'Offers' Look through and find an offer that interests you. There are plenty of great trial offers from companies like Blockbuster, Netflix, Scholastic Books, Gamefly and others. My suggestion is to sign up for Blockbuster.com - for $10 you get a one month trial to their online service where you select the movies you want to watch and they mail the dvds to you! Its a great offer, simple to complete, and for only ten bucks completes your main requirement for getting your free Wii.

Once you've completed the offer, the 'Progress' tab on your Trainn account should show that you've now completed your offer requirement. Now you're ready for referrals.

Referrals

Here's the last step - getting referrals. To get your free Nintendo Wii just get 5 people to do what you did - sign up for a new account using your own unique referral link (found on the 'Progress' tab). As soon as they sign up and complete their one offer requirement your account will be updated to show credit for that referral.

Sounds easy, and it is. Again, this is just a way for big corporations to target some of their marketing dollars direct to consumers. Take advantage of it and let them buy you a brand new Nintendo Wii! All you have to do is click on this link to get started:

Free marriage ceremony
The following is supposedly a true story. To be included, besides being true, the story is most likely strange, weird, surprising, or funny.

Farmer's Branch, Texas:

Customers waiting for car repairs at Swedish Auto Incorporated now have an alternative to reading old magazines.

William Signs, owner of the garage, is offering a free marriage ceremony with any 30,000-mile inspection on Hondas, Volvos and BMWs. For the $290 price of the inspection, he will throw in the cost of being married by the local justice of the peace, a $25 value.

The inspection comes with a warranty, but there is no guarantee on the marriage. Then again, the justice of the peace, Judge Bob Forman, suggests, "Maybe the car will break down and the marriage won't." He says he hasn't seen anything like this stunt since his days as a practicing attorney, when a client asked him to draw up wills for employees in lieu of cash bonuses at Christmas.

Signs said he got the idea during a trip to Las Vegas, where he noticed a helicopter operator offering free marriage ceremonies with the purchase of a deluxe helicopter ride. He decided to borrow the concept and bring some joy to the unhappy business of auto repair. "Normally people don't get good news" at auto shops, he adds.

The mechanic isn't concerned about his offer hastening the nuptials of mismatched partners or cheapening the institution of marriage. After all, 30,000-mile inspections aren't inexpensive. "They're going to have to spend almost $300." he says.

If the promotion proves popular, Signs is prepared to expand it to providing one-size-fits-all tuxedos and wedding dresses of the type that grooms and brides easily slip into at high-volume Las Vegas wedding chapels. For customers whose marriages fall apart, Signs is considering another bargain -- an uncontested divorce after four 30,000-mile inspections, a $100 value.

To advertise the promotion, Signs sent out a mailing to prospective customers and placed an ad on the side the shop van. But the ad began two months ago, and so far no one has taken Signs up on it. He has, however, heard lots of giggles and guffaws from people who call or stop to ask if the deal is real.

Meanwhile, his own Volvo is approaching another 30,000-mile point, and he's worried that his girlfriend may notice and pressure him to cash in on his own offer. To avoid that, he says he's considering disabling his odometer.
