ConsumerBase Introduces BehaviorBase
New product will focus on localized postal and e-mail.
Evanston, IL — Today ConsumerBase announced that it has introduced a new data product, BehaviorBase, that will focus on postal and e-mail solutions for localized markets. The company noted that BehaviorBase is particularly well-suited to those marketers requiring behavioral and geo-targeted data for multi-channel marketing campaigns.
Each data record in BehaviorBase minimally contains postal and e-mail addresses. Behavioral information is appended to the data through daily category-specific e-mails deployed to the database. For example, when a credit card offer is e-mailed to the database, those who register a click on the offer are recorded as being interested in that category.
A typical user of BehaviorBase might be a local retailer purchasing consumer data in a specified zip code. The consumers on that list would have recorded clicks in particular interest categories. The retailer could then target specific audiences with both postal and e-mail for a “click-and-mortar” campaign. Behavior categories include a wide range of interests including apparel, credit card, health, travel and dozens of other consumer areas.
ConsumerBase has brought on data marketing veteran Chris D’Autorio to manage the BehaviorBase product. D’Autorio is experienced in localized data marketing from his years as Director of NeighborNet Marketing, a product line of Mal Dunn Associates.
Larry Organ, Chief Executive of ConsumerBase, stated, “We are delighted to have Chris taking on this responsibility for us. His experience, knowledge and industry contacts make him the ideal candidate for a product such as this.”
D’Autorio will work out of the New York office of ConsumerBase.
About ConsumerBase
ConsumerBase is a multi-channel e-marketing agency with clients in North America and the United Kingdom.

Music that celebrates life, touches the soul and inspires spirituality .. Simply profound!
SAN DIEGO, CA August 2, 2006 — “Power of Your Love” the long awaited contemporary Christian album by Joseph Advento, featured artist of Advent Records, hits stores July 28, 2006. Joseph is the singer, songwriter, spirit and essence behind “Power of Your Love.”
This well composed album, combined with the soul-stirring musical talents of “Yoyong Nalasa” is a fusion of jazz and rock mixed in with a contemporary Christian gospel rhythm.
The “Power of Your Love” album release takes place at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, 293 H Street Chula Vista, 91910 - Friday, July 28th at 6:30 pm. Performing songs from this album live for the first, Joseph has looked forward to this moment for a long time - and with performances by the “Spirit of Love” choral group and jazz saxophonist Joey Casora, this launch party promises to be an event you will never forget.
Excited about the album release, Joseph says that the goal for this project was simple, “To record songs that are inclusive and inviting to all. The spiritual message is there if you listen” says Joseph, “but I want my songs to be enjoyed by everyone.”
Having performed in several venues, Joseph has always praised God through song and music. An accomplished musician, he currently serves as the Choir Director at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Chula Vista, CA. As president and founder of One Voice Choir, a non-profit group committed to praise and worship, Joseph continues to serve his community through his time and talents. Known for his soulful voice, Joseph has shared the stage with recording artist such as Jocelyn Enriquez and Gary V.
“One Hope” an original song from “Power of Your Love” that holds a very special place in Joseph’s heart, The words and music encourages us to always believe. When asked what inspired him to write “One Hope”, Joseph replied, “When challenged by life, sometimes its easy to feel like you lose your way, you feel like you lose your voice .. But if you stop for a moment, in some simple way, he reminds us that he will always be here for us.”
“It’s the hope through his love that drives the passion through my music .. Whether through song, prayer or music, it’s about faith. And with everything he’s done for me, if I can somehow use my voice as an instrument for his love, and maybe reach those that need to know he’s there, then I’ve done my job.“

May 23, 2006 — As the Boston Celtics become the last team in the NBA to form a dance squad, the team follows in their grand tradition of finding All-Stars in hiring Dance Team Director Marina Ortega.

She creates some of the most show-stopping and crowd-appealing choreography I’ve ever seen and is equally adept at offering diverse ideas that continue to evolve this niche of the dance market. I’m not surprised that the Boston Celtics organization tapped her to become its premier artistic director for their inaugural dance team. She’s been a foot soldier working in the trenches of the dance industry for many years, and her experience choreographing for numerous teams has allowed her to refine her craft. She has a gift and is so deserving of the opportunity to develop what will surely be one of the most highly profiled and successful dance teams in the NBA.”
ProDance is a powerhouse, high-profile gathering of choreographers, dancers, and directors representing the NBA, NFL, WNBA, CFL, AFL, and other professional sports teams.

Internationally Acclaimed Author Fiona Zedde Releases her Second Novel, A Taste Of Sin
Fiona Zedde, author of the Lambda Literary Award nominated novel Bliss, has written an explosive follow up to her debut contemporary erotic romance. This new novel features rebel and connoisseur of pleaure, Desiree Nichols, a woman who has a lot to prove and many, many ways to do it.
Atlanta, GA – July 1, 2006 – Fiona Zedde first burst on the scene in August 2005 with her novel, Bliss. The groundbreaking erotic novel garnered attention with a 2005 Lambda Literary Award nomination as well as a nod from Cush City as one of its nominees for Best New Author of 2005. Since then, Zedde has been called “a culinary artist with words” (Washington Blade) and her work described as “lusty and pleasurable” (Girlfriends Magazine), “lyrical” and “exquisitely written” (Femininezone.com), generating a buzz around this new author and her upcoming novels. Now, following on the heels of her successful debut, Zedde presents A Taste of Sin (Kensington Books, ISBN 0758209207, July 4, 2006, $14.00), a novel sure to become an instant classic.
Desiree Nichols is no stranger to heartbreak, but when her hot, young boyfriend abandons her after two years of being together, Dez’s foundations begin to crumble. To make matters worse, a family crisis is calling her home to face the people she left behind, the ones who never accepted her as anything but trouble. Fine. If that’s how they see her, she’ll rise to the occasion. Miami’s hot, sultry nightlife offers plenty of opportunities for a girl to drown her disappointments, and Dez wastes no time hooking up with her old friends. Together, she and her girlfriends prowl the town, attending private parties where every fantasy can be fulfilled, every desire satisfied with no strings attached. The last thing on Dez’s mind is finding a heaven in the arms of a seductive new partner who couldn’t be more different from her ex—and who awakens in her a hunger she tries to deny. But that’s exactly what happens.
Now, in clandestine couplings at four-star restaurants, sizzling explorations in downtown sex clubs, and private romantic dinners where sensual boundaries are pushed and hearts are laid bare, two lovers will awaken in each other an intense, soul-deep passion that could change their lives forever….
About the author: Fiona Zedde has been published to international acclaim in Best Lesbian Erotica 2004 (Cleis), Necrologue: The DIVA Book of the Dead and the Undead (DIVA), Va-Va-Voom: Red Hot Lesbian Erotica (DIVA), Wicked: Sexy Tales of Legendary Lovers (Cleis), Hot Lesbian Erotica (Cleis), On Our Backs magazine, as well as various other publications.

Preggers n’ Proud Designs Special Maternity Tee For Charity
Socially conscious company, Preggers n’ Proud has designed a maternity tank top in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness.
— Every two minutes a woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer. Preggers n’ Proud at http://www.preggersnproud.com out of Santa Barbara, CA is proud to be not only a successful fashion company, but a socially conscious and responsible one. This is why a special maternity pink maternity tank has been designed to create awareness.
Buyers of the Loving My Buddha Belly pink tank top can now feel extra confident in their purchase knowing that a portion of proceeds will be going to the Susan G. Komen foundation. This soft pink tank with fuchsia trim reminds pregnant women to embrace their blossoming belly, and will stand as a reminder going forward to empower each other to have regular mammograms, as well as perform self exams.
About Preggers n’ Proud:
Among a swarm of merchants and designers focused on baby, maternity and most recently daddy gifts, Preggers n’ Proud is by far the original. Over three years ago, designer Cara O’Callaghan and husband Michael founded their t-shirt company with a desire to share their exciting news of pregnancy with the world. What better way to do it than wear it out loud on your belly? Their snappy sayings and yummy cotton tees were a hit and to this day they outsell the competition.
In early 2006, Preggers n’ Proud decided to step things up a notch. They hired web design firm Curious Light and what came out of that partnership was a website that is easy to shop from, and most of all, nice to look at. The demand for Preggers n’ Proud has been so strong that they have rolled out several new designs in 2006 including maternity tees.
Celebrity moms and dads are going crazy over their designs, but at Preggers n’ Proud celebrity buzz just means an opportunity to do good. In the pop-culture celebrity phenomenon that is taking hold of designers everywhere, Preggers n’ Proud has put a unique twist on celebrity gift giving. Knowing that a celeb wearing your designs can put a garment company on the map, O’Callaghan is willing to indulge in the celebrity gifting game; however she vows that for each tee that is given away to a celebrity, 5 go to a pregnancy care facility in her local Santa Barbara, CA area called Life Network. Proving that Preggers n’ Proud is more than just a trendy t-shirt company, they are always thinking of ways to share the joy of pregnancy for women around the world.

Each company is presenting a different Christopher Durang comedy this fall. Oracle Theatre presents Actor’s Nightmare and Sister Mary Ignations Explains It All for You August 11-September 17, Chemically Imbalanced Comedy presents The Vietnamization of New Jersey August 31-October 8, Infamous Commonwealth Theatre presents Betty’s Summer Vacation September 2-October 1, and Next Theatre Company presents Durang’s latest work Miss Witherspoon November 16-December 17.
CHICAGO — Oracle Theatre, Chemically Imbalanced Comedy, Infamous Commonwealth, and Next Theatre Company have all caught Durang fever and are pooling their efforts to spread it across Chicago. Each company is presenting a different Christopher Durang comedy this fall. Oracle Theatre presents Actor’s Nightmare and Sister Mary Ignations Explains It All for You August 11-September 17, Chemically Imbalanced Comedy presents The Vietnamization of New Jersey August 31-October 8, Infamous Commonwealth Theatre presents Betty’s Summer Vacation September 2-October 1, and Next Theatre Company presents Durang’s latest work Miss Witherspoon November 16-December 17.
In their efforts to build the circle of Durang-lovers in Chicago, the four companies are offering a $5 discount to anyone who shows a ticket stub or program from one of the other Durang productions.
Durang, known for his caustic wit, is especially popular among the new generation of Chicago theatre companies. “I actually think Durang is one of those playwrights that people either love or hate,” said Genevieve Thompson, Artistic Director of Infamous Commonwealth Theatre. “Those of us who love him feel like a part of the inner circle.”
Christopher Durang first studied theater at Harvard before moving on to the Yale School of Drama and working under Robert Brustein. He began his career as a parodist, before finding his trademark blend of satire and black comedy. Influenced by Eugene Ionesco and Tom Stoppard, among others, Durang uses wit and absurdity to take on issues of religion and family.
“Durang often shines a floodlight on the elephant in the room, tackling sensitive issues with reckless abandon. [He] has an undisputable ability to invoke strong emotions from his audiences, making him a choice pick for theatres companies looking to do just that,” said Oracle’s Artistic Director Aaron Shapiro, director of Actor’s Nightmare and Sister Mary.
The Actor’s Nightmare and Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You will be presented at Oracle Theatre, 3809 N. Broadway, August 11-September 17. The performance schedule is as follows: Thursdays-Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 7 p.m. Tickets are a $20 donation. Box Office is 773-244-2980.

Priest and Academician Explore the Spiritual Lives of Children
Windows into the Spirituality of Children by Suzi Robertson is a collection of wonderful stories about children realizing and growing into their faith.
HERDON, VIRGINIA — Episcopal Priest Suzi Robertson has spent thirty years helping children who are exploring and discovering their faith. She’s captured their sad, funny, and moving stories in Windows into the Spirituality of Children: Real Stories of Real Faith From Real Children, with a foreword by the Reverend Doctor Jerome Berryman.
What do we really know about our children’s understanding of God? Robertson suggests that while children may lack the language to properly express their faith, they do have their own unique spiritual belief systems. Children, in truth, says Robertson, can know God and can understand religious matters as deeply as adults can.
Author Suzi Robertson examines her own spiritual autobiography as well as the tales of the numerous children she has worked with. By listening, loving, and learning alongside these many children, she shows us that God touches us all, and we can all learn from one another, no matter how young or old we are.
An Episcopal Priest, Robertson has always been an advocate for children. In this riveting book, she shows us how to reach out, connect with, and better work with young people. As we explore the ways children grow into their faiths, we recognize how we ourselves grow and change with our own beliefs. As this warm and wise book tells us, when it comes to matters of faith, a little child can indeed lead us.
This book is endorsed by the Reverend Dr. John Westerhoff, author of, Will our Children Have Faith, and by both Episcopal and United Methodist Bishops. For more information or to receive a free review copy, please contact the author at e-mail protected from spam bots. You may also write to her at 2436 Oakdale, Houston, Texas 77004. She is available by telephone at 832-723-3129. Windows into the Spirituality of Children: Real Stories of Real Faith from Real Children is available for sale online at Amazon.com, Borders.com, BookSurge.com, and through additional wholesale and retail channels worldwide.
About the Author
Suzi Robertson grew up in the Heartland of Texas, near Stephenville. Many of the stories in her book name the people in that area. A Priest in the Episcopal Diocese of Texas, she has four theological degrees, and has published numerous professional articles. She is the Rector at St. Luke the Evangelist Episcopal Church in Houston, Texas. Dr. Robertson has done extensive work with children in several churches in Houston, and has an ongoing project in Tanzania, East Africa. A gifted speaker and academician, she is widely sought as a consultant researcher and trainer.
