New Book Helps Readers Become More Than Conquerors
Xulon author Tony Hart's book, Winning Is Everything (paperback, 978-1-60477-674-4), couldn't have arrived on bookstands at a more relevant time. The book, which shares with readers biblical requirements that ensure a victorious life, also encourages us to face down the spiritual battle in which we are currently embroiled. Many Christians move from one problem to another, perpetually living in the agony of defeat. On the other hand, many Christians somehow find ways to make the opposition fumble. What is the difference? Those who are victorious don't let the opposition throw them off their game plan. Defeated Christians, however, allow the circumstances to redefine their strategy.

The Secret to Business Success in 2005 - Rid Yourself of Resolutions
Each January, many people are filled with optimism and grand aspirations for the coming year. Small business owners are no exception. Continually improving one's business is vital to long-term success, so what can be done to be certain one follows through on plans for the new year? One business owner has a simple solution to dealing with New Year's resolutions - don't make any...at least not in the conventional sense.
"The problem with most resolutions is they are too vague," says Jennifer Johnson, owner of onMessage Graphic Design (http://www.getonmessage.com). "Deciding to get fit, spend more time with family, or 'be happy' in 2005 are all commendable ideals, but are not specific enough. The same applies to business; expand advertising, increase customer satisfaction, empower employees...admirable, but you haven't defined precisely what you hope to attain, much less how you will go about doing it."

PetroLiance LLC has been recognized as one of the nation's top performing distributors of ExxonMobil lubricants. The company was one of only 10 companies nationwide to earn the prestigious Premier Award in ExxonMobil's annual Circle of Excellence program. Petroliance was formed last year through the consolidation of four of the nation's largest ExxonMobil distributors.
"Naturally we are very pleased to earn this recognition, especially since it comes in our very first year as a consolidated company," said PetroLiance CEO Kevin McCarter.
The Circle of Excellence program recognizes top ExxonMobil distributors based on a broad variety of criteria, including their commitment to best business practices, volume and premium product sales growth. The top-level award, the Premier Award earned by PetroLiance, is reserved for only the top 10 distributors every year.
PetroLiance was formed last year through the consolidation of four heritage companies: Boncosky Oil Company of Chicago, Commercial Ullman Lubricants Company of Ohio, Lubricant Technologies LLC of North Carolina, and Young Oil Company Inc. of South Florida.
"Combining our four operations has been a complex challenge that demanded a lot of attention and effort from all of our people," said McCarter. "The fact that we were still recognized for excellence, quality and customer service during this challenging time is a testament to the hard work and customer focus of our dedicated employees."
Circle of Excellence award winners are chosen on a broad range of objective criteria including the companies' application of best practices in such diverse areas as quality, focus on suppliers, professional competency, business planning, and effective sales management, in addition to total volume and growth.
"The criteria are very comprehensive and broad-based, and reflect the full range of issues a successful distributor must address," said McCarter. "Above all, they reflect a company's attention to its customers' needs, and its willingness and ability to remain focused on those needs regardless of other competing issues."
"Being named a Premier Award-level company validates the initial vision that led to the formation of PetroLiance," McCarter added.
"Our vision in forming PetroLiance was not to consolidate just for the sake of getting bigger," he said. "Our vision was to consolidate to get even better; we are particularly grateful to our sales and customer service teams for maintaining their focus on that vision during this complex transition, as this Circle of Excellence Award indicates."
PetroLiance offers ExxonMobil products along with a growing array of ancillary products and services. For more information, call (800) 628-7231, or visit the company's Web site at www.petroliance.com.

Skincare Tricks: 'Billion Dollar Brows' Skin Care Products
Gone are the days of thinly penciled in lines and painfully over-plucked brows. Today's eyebrows are beautifully natural and attainable by all. Skincare-News.com's latest article, "Billion Dollar Brows: A Luxury That Can Be Had By All," discusses the basics of brow shaping and how one company was formed to "eliminate over-plucked, misshapen brows from the world." http://www.skincare-news.com/articles.php?ArtID=484
When it comes to shaping the eyebrows, it's a woman's face shape, not the latest fashion, that is the deciding factor. Oval shaped faces can wear any shape, but look best in curved eyebrows. For a round face, arched eyebrows will define the facial features. And for a square or rectangular face, rounded brows will create a softer look.
