Let's Look at a few examples --cited in our eBook How to Improve
Writing with Sentence Openers-- of how master writers use prepositional
phrases to open their sentences:

After dinner, when we were sitting by the fire, and I was meditating an
escape to Peggotty without having the hardihood to slip away ... a
coach drove up to the garden-gate, and he went out to receive his
visitor (Dickens, Copperfield 47).

During the late summer of 1714 all England awaited the coming of King
George I. On September 18 he landed at Greenwich (Churchill 95).

During the dull day, in the course of which he was entertained by his
elderly hosts and by the more important of the visitors ... (Tolstoy,
War and Peace 369). (In the above example Tolstoy embellishes the use
of his prepositional phrase with alliteration).

To the young lady, this separation was the poignant climax of all her
sufferings. Through the carport, I could see a patchy apron of grass, a
crescent of yard (Grafton, `A' is for Alibi 170).

With any other jury it must have made the impression that he hoped to
make. It may even have made its impression put on these poor,
pusillanimous sheep (Sabatini 29).

This one-syllable--`With'--preposition is a humble preposition, yet it
plays an important role in the English language. Notice how

Charlotte Bronte uses it in her novel Villete:

With her father she really was still a child, or child-like,
affectionate, merry, and playful. With me she was serious, and as
womanly as thought and feeling could make her. With Mrs. Bretton she
was docile and reliant, but not exapansive. With Graham she was shy, at
present very shy; at moments she tried to be cold; on occasion she
endeavoured to shun him (317).

As we have seen, the choice of sentence openers keeps the reader
interested, breaking up the monotony of the S-V-O pattern. By mixing
and commingling the sentence openers we have discussed, your prose will
become athletic, exciting, breathless--never boring.

`Nominative Absolutes' may also be used as sentence openers! Absolutes,
then, become unsurpassed tools to spice up and revive sentences that
otherwise might lay dead on arrival.

Take the following plain sentence:

Louise rushed to the bathroom where she scrubbed her hands throughly.

And compare it to the same sentence, but preceded by a `nominative
absolute' as opener:

Hands trembling, Louise rushed to the bathroom where she scrubbed her
hands thoroughly.

Here's another example:

Eyes narrowed, fists clenched, lips trembling, he waited in the dark.

For my Psych class I wrote an essay on the bestseller Blink.
To my great delight, my teacher said it was the best essay he
had read this year. One of his comments was: "How you begin
your sentences makes your writing outstanding!" -
Getting high grades is fine, but learning writing skills for
life is even better. Mary Duffy's Sentence Openers e-book has
changed my life! I came from China one year ago, and now I
feel Mary's book has leveled the playing field--I can compete
and hold my own with the best students.
In our Writing Center we learned about the structure of essays
(theme, development, conclusion), but no one bothered to tell
us how to open sentences. After reading Mary Duffy's e-book I
now realize what had been missing from my writing. (K. Cheng).

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.
