Promotion for The Muppets is ramping up very quickly, so expect to see Muppets everywhere (except in your closet, unfortunately). First up, Kermit recently filmed a commercial for the celebrity-heavy ad campaign of Wonderful Pistachios. You can check out Kermit's cute TV spot (that you'll surely be seeing all the time on while watching your shows) right here:
On October 2nd, Miss Piggy will be returning to Disney Channel on their extremely popular sketch comedy show So Random! (think SNL for 14 year olds). Piggy will be playing herself as the big, celebrity guest star for the show who everyone on the show attempts to appeal to. You can see the promo for the episode here:
And in extremely random Muppet appearance news, the Muppets will be appearing on the wrestling program WWE Raw on October 31st to promote the movie. The official WWE website provides this little bit of information on the upcoming appearance, "What will happen when Kermit the Frog meets The Viper? Will the Divas make Miss Piggy flip with jealousy? Will Beaker be confused for Sheamus? On Halloween, it's time to play the music, it's time to light the lights, because the Muppets are about to get Raw!" I don't really know what any of that means, but this has the potential to be a very fun and funny appearance!
The Museum of Moving Image in New York City, which is currently playing host to the wonderful Jim Henson's Fantastic World exhibit, is having a fun celebration for Jim's birthday on September 24th. Here is a breakdown of what's occurring on the 24th, for more information visit the museum's website:

another official Muppet T-shirt design contest and they want YOUR art! The Grand Prize winner wins $3,000, with prizes for first and second place as well. The winning design will also get printed on a shirt and sold at WeLoveFine. It's really exciting to think of the prospect of another amazing Muppet t-shirt after our friend James Carroll's shirt was printed. Submission deadline is October 2nd before 11:59 PM and voting for the designs opens up on October 14 until November 4, with winners being announced on November 11. And, just between you and me, most of the designs submitted so far pretty much suck (thankfully not all--see right), so to all you extremely talented Muppet fan artists who we know and love... get to it!
Speaking of t-shirts and awesome artists, our friend and staff member James Carroll's gorgeous and insanely awesome "Muppetational Mosaic" design is now being printed on all sorts of things (unfortunately not your chest) at the Threadless-sponsored Society 6. Via the site, you can order Art Prints, Canvas Prints, iPhone Cases, Laptop and iPad Skins, and iPhone and iPod Skins. It's awesome, and some of the proceeds do go to James, whose artwork makes our website so gorgeous (the header). Buy something! (You know, if you can.)
Finally, Disney has given the official website for The Muppets, TheMuppets.com, a complete makeover and Disney website overhaul. On the site, you'll find Characters (descriptions/pages for Kermit and Piggy, with others coming soon), About the Movie (The Story, The Cast, The Crew [coming soon]), Video Clips (just trailers for now, but more probably coming soon), a picture Gallery, Products (currently only selling The Green Album, but Movies, Toys, Books, Apparel, Beauty, Designer Apparel, Kitchen, Electronics, and Sationary coming soon), Games (Coming Soon), and Downloads (Coming Soon). There currently isn't too much to see on the site, aside from a few cool new pictures if you know where to look, but there is certainly a ton coming very soon as promotion heats up. Keep an eye on the movie site and on The Muppet Mindset for whatever might come from Disney!

Al Lang Last Game Promo and Trivia
I am so excited to be able to leave two (2) Trivia questions for your amusement today. I am not going to leave the answers here, but would rather enjoy if you leave a comment with your answers and I will be sure to respond to them and pimp out the people who can find the correct answers. So, get your baseball encyclopedias out and find these two questions today.
Trivia Questions:
1). Who is the fan in old Ebbets Field who is credited with using the first "cowbell" to spice up a baseball game?
2). Who was the leader of the Boston Red Sox group called, "The Royal Rooters"?
As you can tell, I am using Fans as my basis for my blog today. There is a local guy here in Tampa Bay who is either getting good or bad publicity for our team. It depends on if you think he is a plus or minus for our team.
Of course, I am talking about the Cowbell Kid here. He is a member of the outfield crew in Tropicana Field who has emerged as a focal point at games. He is an avid hater of the Al East Northern teams, and is not shy to tell you about it at all.
Now, I have him listed as one of my Myspace friends, but I have not spent time with the Cowbell Kid. I am a bit of a fan favorite myself, but I am not about to putr on a Marge Simpson ripoff wig and carry a pimp stick to games. Now I am not afraid of, or dislike people getting attention for our Rays. I found the Bat/Rays-woman a bit wild flapping around the stadium on game days. And I find the Green-hued Raysman to be a bit of a comical, but likeable facet to our game days.
But, I am a bit put off by the Cowbell Kid. Now I also have ruined a few percussion cowbells during the seasons at the Trop. The guys in the Bullpen can attest to me breaking every drumstick and mini bat I have brought to the games and used to clang on my bell. But, I draw the line at atagonzing and calling out the opposition either in public or on a blog.
I can never, and will never try to encite or bully another fan about his team choice. I think we need to be respectful for a few years before we can also put our chest out and proclaim the Trop a Rays house again. We are getting there more and more every year, but people like the Cowbell Kid could set us back by a rude comment or action.
Our team will have to earn respect on the field before ESPN or other organizations feel we are a better squad that fifth in our own division. that day is fastly approaching, but will take at least 162 games this year to solidify anything.
I am not against heckling or trying to be a pest in the ears of our visiting teams. I have done a few to visiting Rightfielders in my time, and have enjoyed every minute of it. But we need to be careful in our stage of showmanship for a few years so we do not get the label of being obnoxious or rude like some of our visiting fans.
With this in mind, if you think the Cowbell Kid goes above and beyond the realm of true sportmanship, or just want to see him get wet. Then you need to attend the 97X Fisher and Boys Belated Birthday Bash this weekend at Derby Lanes in St. Petersburg, Florida. Our beloved Cowbell dude will be in the dunk tank and willing to get his Marge Simpson blue beehive wet like a drowned rat. So here is your chance to pluck the blue one into a tank of water and maybe rust his cowbell a bit.
Al Lang Tidbits
I am lucky enough to be going to the last Rays Spring Training game at Al Lang/Progress Energy Park tomorrow. This is a great place to watch a game and get some good sun and a cool breeze off the water. Al Lang has been used for 84 years as a Spring Training site for MLB teams.
When Al Lang was mayor of St. Petersburg, he enticed the Philadelphia Nationals to come here in 1916. From that point on, the list of players who have been on the fields are littered with Hall of Famers and young pups trying to get a roster spot on their teams.
The McDill Air Force Base will also do a Fly over of the stadium before the game. If you have never seen this done, you are missing out on something really exciting here.
During the contest against the Cincinatti Reds, the Rays will have giveaways foir the fans in attendance, and alot of unique opportunities for rememberance.
Hall of Famer, Monte Irvin will be signing autographs during the game. He is a remarkable man. I have heard him speak a few times and he always tells his stories with great passion and love for the game. He is a true treasure, and a avid Rays fan.
The Rays will also be announcing their Al Lang All-time squads of all the teams that have trained and used the stadium over the years. There will be two spots selected for each position. I think we will see Hall of Famers, and very remarkable names mentioned on this occasion.
After the game, the Rays are inviting all fans in attendance to a FREE BBQ on the field with a host of live music and entertainment for the kids. The kids will be able to run the bases and maybe sit in the dugouts like their on-field heros.
I know of a few Rays personnell poeple who will be digging into the BBQ up to their elbows.
I am looking forward to this with great excitement, and I will have my digital camera in tow hoping to bring you alot of great photos and post event comments.
I hope to see most of you there. But if you can't make it out that day, remember that opening day is around the corner and most school age kids are being advised of a Spirit Night at the Trop. when the Baltimore Orioles come into town on Saturday, April 12th. Game starts at 7:10 P.M.

The struggles of the small city of Laurel Hill have been well documented in the newspapers for years.
The struggles of the small city of Laurel Hill have been well documented in the newspapers for years.
I am happy that the current council members are not "hardcore" politicians and tend to take reasonable approaches to city issues.
Anyone who has traveled our roads can see the conditions that could possibly lead to safety issues and damage to vehicles. The roads and the water system are the primary issues of the city.
I think citizens will be shocked to learn of the mandates required by the state � like comprehensive plans and evaluation and appraisal reports � that cost the city thousands of dollars and do nothing for the people.
Many citizens have reached a position of intolerance concerning these issues.
Giving up the city charter is no easy task, and it will require negotiation of give-and-take, but I am convinced that doing so is in the best interest of the people of Laurel Hill.
I urge all citizens residing within the city limits to attend the meeting (6 p.m. Dec. 11 at First Baptist Church of Laurel Hill) and voice your opinion.
I also urge users of the city water system to be at the meeting because you should have a voice in how the system is managed. Outside users are currently silent in the operation and management of the water system.
Council Chairman Larry Hendren is a very fair man and he will allow opinions to be voiced.
Please plan to attend this important meeting on the future of this community.
What's your view? Email firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject "My view." Letters must be 250 words or less and written on local issues.

The three men vying to be the PC party's new leader — and Alberta's premier — eased up on personal attacks during a candidates' forum in Calgary on Friday following a nasty tussle the previous night.
Jim Prentice, Ric McIver and Thomas Lukaszuk largely stuck to talking policy when addressing audience questions on topics ranging from oil pipelines, bloated bureaucracy within Alberta Health Services and regaining the trust of Albertans.
It was a decidedly more gentile affair than Thursday evening's debate in Edmonton, in which Prentice attacked his opponents for remaining silent as cabinet ministers while former premier Alison Redford was making questionable decisions, including using government planes for personal and partisan uses.
McIver and Lukaszuk, in turn, blasted their opponent's tactic of giving away PC party memberships to drum up support for his campaign and they ravaged his latest proposal to introduce term limits for MLAs.
While the tone was more civil at Friday's forum hosted by the Calgary West Rotary Club, the two Tory MLAs continued Friday to bash Prentice's pledge to limit premiers to two terms and MLAs to three terms.
Lukaszuk, a former deputy premier, called the proposal the "most ridiculous thing I've ever heard," adding it may play well with voters' desire to "get the bums out," but was unconstitutional and impossible to enact.
McIver, a former transportation and infrastructure minister, said the idea was an affront to democracy and offensive to voters.
"The ultimate entitlement is an elected person deciding who else gets to sit in elected office," said the Calgary-Hays MLA.
"Albertans get to decide that . . . not a bureaucrat or premier."
However, Prentice defended his proposal, insisting term limits would increase the vibrancy of Alberta's electorate.
"The point is politics is about public service, it's not about a job," said the former federal cabinet minister in the Harper government.
"These kinds of limits work in other democracies . . . I don't know why we wouldn't have reasonable limits for someone who is in the position of premier (or) MLA."
The trio repeatedly tried to distance themselves from being members of the so-called "old boys club," pledging — in various ways — to clean up the scandal-plagued PC party.
"This party has taken a beating in the last few years and I would be foolish to ignore that," said Lukaszuk, the MLA for Edmonton-Castle Downs.
"Cleanup is the first thing that needs to happen."
On Friday, Lukaszuk released a three-point plan to strengthen grassroots participation and MLA participation in drafting government policy, require cabinet ministers to report to caucus on priority files, and reformulate committee meetings to encourage "vigorous" debate.
He said voter participation and engagement in the leadership race hasn't met his expectations, attributing the apathy, in part, to hosting a campaign over the summer with just three candidates.
"I wish the (membership) would grow significantly because at the end of the day this is a very important decision," he added. "We are choosing a premier of this province, not only a leader."
All three candidates shot down the notion of granting municipalities additional taxation powers, even though cities and towns are increasingly shouldering costs as the province and federal governments download more responsibilities.
"Municipalities have adequate taxing authority at the present time," said Prentice.
"There's only one taxpayer in this province and we have to make sure we're not layering on additional taxes at this point."
The PC party will hold a first ballot vote Sept. 6 to select a new leader. If no one captures a majority of the votes cast by party members, a second ballot will be held Sept. 20.

Two high profile candidates for reelection, in races where a second place finish would have been good enough, came in third, and thus out of the money. Irv Rhodes, chair of the Amherst School Committee, fell to newcomers Lawrence O'Brien and Amilcar Shabazz--both of whom wished to be appointed two months ago to finish out the term of Steve Rivkin.
Presciently, Rhodes was at first reluctant to even fill the school committee position, worried it would give that person an advantage in this April 3 election; but then he strongly supported Shabazz. The combined Select Board and School Committee, however, chose a high school student instead.
This stunning loss for Rhodes mirrors the school committee election of 2004 when incumbent chair Barbara Love came in third behind newcomers Andy Churchill and Thomas Flitte. Pundits at the time lay the blame on a mediocre campaign that reeked of overconfidence and taking the voters for granted.
While Michael Aronson came in a distant fourth with 433 votes his base in all liklihood bullet voted (did not use their second vote). If even half of Aronson's supporters had thrown their second vote to Rhodes, it would have put him in second place.
Incumbent Carol Gray also was odd person out in the three way race for two seats on the Jones Library Trustees. She joins former chair Pat Holland who lost her seat last year as a result of leading an inquisition against 30 year Director Bonnie Isman.
Birds of a feather crash together.

South Valley sinkhole snarls Second Street traffic
City says repairs won't happen until Monday
South Valley drivers will have to find a detour for the next few days after a sinkhole opened in the middle of a busy street on Saturday.
Water Authority officials said a water main break at about 9 a.m. caused the ground to cave in on Second Street near Prosperity Avenue in the South Valley. Second Street between Rio Bravo Boulevard and Prosperity Avenue has been closed to traffic.
Water Authority officials said a water main under Second Street burst and an old, faulty pipe is likely to blame. The pressure from gallons of leaking water created the sinkhole, which ripped apart concrete and turned the road into a mudslide.
Neighbors were without water for more than six hours on Saturday because of the leak. The sinkhole is about 6 feet deep, and it is close to homes and Rail Runner tracks, so the city shut down Second Street.
Many drivers obeyed the rules and pulled U-turns to avoid the sinkhole, while others ignored the traffic barricades and snuck through a gap before a worker showed up to shut it down.
"Well, I'm going to be late for it," said Danielle, a Pizza Hut driver with three deliveries to houses in the area. "So that's going to suck because the customers are going to get mad. But they're going to see me on TV."
City officials said the sinkhole will not be repaired until Monday.

At a press conference defending the NYPD today, Republican mayoral hopeful John Catsimatidis found himself defending one of his own supporters, who was reportedly under investigation, as well.
This morning, the New York Post reported that Manhattan Republican Party Chairman Dan Isaacs was allegedly recorded musing over a bribe offer from an undercover agent in a federal investigation that has already resulted in corruption charges against multiple Republican party officials.
But Mr. Catsmatidis, who has been endorsed by Mr. Isaacs's organization and has provided substantial financial support in return, today dismissed the report.
"Look as far as what I know, I don't think he did anything wrong," Mr. Catsimatidis told Politicker at the press conference not far from City Hall. "Did somebody try to make him do something wrong? Probably. But did he do anything wrong? Not that I know of."
Mr. Catsmatidis, however, declined to say whether he thought Mr. Isaacs should step down, and said it would be up to voters to decide.
"He'll come up for a vote in September some time and it's up to the committee of Manhattan to vote for him," Mr. Catsimatidis said.
Politicker pressed, asking Mr. Catsimatidis, whether even engaging in that kind of conversation was a problem.
"There's two ways to look at the conversation," he argued, suggesting that Mr. Isaacs could have simply directed any cash offers legally to the party's campaign committee. "If I was a Manhattan chairman and I was there, I'd have said to the person: 'You want to contribute to the party?' Which is 100 percent legal. 'Contribute to the party.' Right?"
In the recording, Mr. Isaacs was also quoted offering an extremely optimistic assessment of now-indicted State Senator Malcolm Smith's implausible mayoral candidacy. Mr. Smith, a Democrat, was seeking the support of Republican chairs to allow him to run in their party's primary, which the undercover agent was trying to push along. But as Politicker attempted to ask if this amounted to a sense of political betrayal on Mr. Isaacs part, Mr. Catsimatidis interrupted with an ominous prediction.
"I believe that we might see some more problems in the community as far as other officials," he said. "But let's let the federal government do their paperwork."
Mr. Isaacs told the Post that he has done nothing wrong and the taped quotes were taken out of context.

Hair On, Hair Off
September 18, 2010 by Yugen
Tomorrow is a pretty big day for me. There are only so many milestones in a Zen career, or at least ones that are visible on the horizon from where I stand, and tomorrow I will reach a pretty hefty one - taking my monastic vows. The ceremony is called tokudo, and the handy Concise Oxford Dictionary of World Religions has this to say about it:
Tokudo (Jap., 'attainment of going beyond'). The ceremony in Zen Buddhism through which a layperson is initiated into Buddhism, or a monk is ordained.
So as of tomorrow at 1:30pm, I will be entering in to the ceremonial rites from which I will emerge an ordained Zen monk. I'm excited about it. In some ways it won't make any difference to my daily life here at the Center. I get new robes, new oryoki bowls, a zagu (bowing mat) and a kesa which is the Buddhist robe that is worn across the shoulder. So I have to figure all that out. Dressing will no longer be the familiar routine that I mastered as a youngster - one leg at a time, underwear before outerwear and so on. I will now be trailing sleeves that touch the floor (although I'm pretty sure I'm meant to prevent them from doing so with clever monk tricks of some sort) and carrying a bowing mat somewhere in the volumes of cloth on my left arm. The kesa looks like the trickiest part, both the wearing of and taking on and off. Oh yeah, and I will have my head shaved. For those of you who don't know me, I am generally a fairly hirsute person, favoring the long hair and beard look over the clean cut. So if you don't recognize me any more, I will be the short fellow with the shiny head and new robes that you haven't seen around the Center before.
Externals aside, it means a lot to me to take this step. Service, sincerity and simplicity are in short the vows I will be making, and for me, these resonate within my heart.
Today is Daniel's 30th birthday. Jishin and I made him a gluten free vegan carrot cake. Welcome to California! I am vegan, and we have a few gluten free folk, so cooking for Jishin, the tenzo, is becoming increasingly difficult as every one these days seems to have allergies, or in my case, preferences. The cake was actually really good though. We adapted it from a vegan carrot cake recipe that I made Frankenstein-style from a bunch of different recipes for carrot cake in order to veganize it. Then we switched the flour for Bob's Red Mill gluten free mix and the result was better than expected. The recipe may appear in the Community Journal, a publication which goes out quarterly to Yokoji members. If that's not an incentive to become a member of the Center, I don't know what is.

"Accomplishing my biggest dream to go to school!"
From the moment she was born, we knew Sarah would change our lives forever. As first-time parents, we were not prepared for the rollercoaster ride we were about to embark on. At birth Sarah survived a severe brain bleed and rash of seizures, from which we were told she'd die or face severe mental retardation. This left her with mild cerebral palsy, eventually requiring her to wear specially fitted braces to walk. In addition, a detached retina caused her to lose vision in her right eye.
The first two years of her life were booked with appointments to specialists and visits from therapists. Even after this, some medical issues were never diagnosed or fully understood by the medical community. She also experienced major reactions to some of her early medical treatments. These early years had already left us feeling very protective of Sarah and constantly nervous for her safety.
But Sarah, on the other hand, was already easing our worries. It amazed us that she showed no sign of mental delay whatsoever. Quite the opposite really! She just had some physical delays.
She adapted to the vision loss well and lovingly called her AFO braces her "walking boots." She wasn't on the growth chart at all; she was actually well below it. But she created and followed her own curve just fine.
We finally began to relax and enjoy our little girl as we watched her personality and determination completely overshadow any of her disabilities. Soon we felt comfortable enough to handle a new addition to our family, and Sarah welcomed her little brother Nathan into the world when she was 2 years old.
But before long, we had new nagging feelings that something else was wrong with Sarah. She was very pale compared to her new baby brother. Her feet, lips and fingers occasionally turned a bluish color. She woke at regular times every night and followed a playful but peculiar-looking routine before going back to sleep.
Just before her 3rd birthday, at a routine appointment, I brought in some pictures of her blue feet. I described the signs of sleep apnea which Sarah was exhibiting. She had a history of sleep apnea through her stay in the NICU. We were not given a monitor when we first brought her home from the NICU.
I recapped her medical history with the doctor. I shared my pictures and anecdotal evidence. I expressed my concern that Sarah may have an additional heart or lung problem, and then I made a simple request. I wanted Sarah to be sent to a cardiologist.
I was assured her heart was fine and my request was unwarranted. They wanted to schedule her with a rheumatologist instead. She never made it to that appointment because, two days later, she collapsed in our front yard.
Well, there we were at the cardiologist's office the day after Sarah collapsed. They performed an echocardiogram followed by an EKG and then delivered a diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension. Then a heart catheterization was performed and the results were devastating.
We were told that Sarah was already in the end stages of the disease, and they gave her six months at the most. This began our frantic search to find some kind of hope! And we were quick to find that hope through the Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA). Through their resources we were able to get in contact with Dr. Erika Berman Rosenzweig at NY Columbia Presbyterian. But the treatment would be another big life change.
Suddenly we were learning an entirely new set of life skills. We learned how to prepare Sarah's IV medicine (Flolan), care for and dress her new central line, and know how to run the pump delivering her medicine. It was such a huge responsibility.
"Never give up, reach high and dream big!"
When we returned home (Syracuse, N.Y.) we would be the only people who knew of her disease and how to administer her medicine. There would be no local doctor, surgeon, pharmacist or nurse who had our training or the knowledge to help. It felt like one false move would make us responsible for our daughter's death.
We wanted to shut her in a big plastic bubble and keep her safe from anything that could cause her to get sick or threaten her pump and central line. To top it off, our suspicions of sleep apnea were confirmed. This required Sarah to have oxygen at night and a pulse oximeter for monitoring. Throw in the Digoxin and Lasix prescriptions and I wanted to just crawl into the fetal position.
My husband Dave and I were trying to make sense of why things had to keep happening to our poor little girl. But not Sarah. She accepted everything thrown at her with such grace and strength that it humbled us. So I have a tube coming out of my chest? So I need to wear a pump? Have dressing changes? I can't swim anymore? Wear a cannula at night? No biggie!
She just wanted to live every moment to its fullest. But we would have a hard time letting her at first. One of the first things that was hard for us was going to the NY State Fair for the first time. It's only 10 minutes from us, and Sarah and Nathan really wanted to go. Sarah had just turned 5 and Nathan was 3. We hadn't done much for two years after diagnosis except for trips to grandparents only 15 minutes away, maybe the mall or zoo. We stayed close to home. We had all her emergency supplies in a luggage bag on wheels we took everywhere we went. We waited for a day that wasn't too hot or sunny. Ok, we can do this!
We took them through exhibits to see animals, butter sculptures and trains. It was going pretty well until we came upon the kiddie rides. She wanted to ride them with Nathan. We read the sign, "Do not ride if you have a heart condition." The right side of her heart was enlarged from her PH; could it handle even these little kid rides? Would she have an arrhythmia? What if her pump started to alarm while she was on?
Her life became fairly boring after PH entered our lives. Mostly staying home playing with her brother and getting visits from various therapists for her cerebral palsy. Excitement was our five-hour road trips twice a year to her PH doctor.
We looked at each other and then Sarah. She already had been through so much in her short life. Didn't we want however much time she had left on this earth to be happy and fun?
That was the beginning of our letting go. We agreed that her life may be shorter than the rest of ours, but it was going to be full!
We watched as she climbed in the kiddie rollercoaster with her brother, smiling the biggest smile! She knew to alert us if she heard her pump alarming. We held our breath as they took off. The joy and elation on her face each time they made a pass was wonderful!
"Accomplishing my dream to dance on stage!"
Next was ballet. She could go without her AFO braces here and there, but she walked awkwardly. She wanted to be in a dance recital ever since she was 2 and saw her young Aunt Emily, who was 6 at that time, on stage. I found a place that was more laid back and all about the kids just having fun, not becoming prima ballerinas. I wanted to be in the room watching. (What if she fell? Her line could get pulled, the kids could pick on her, she may get too tired! They could give her a bad cold and she could end up in the hospital!)
No, I'll be right outside if needed. The kids were given an explanation of her illness and pump; she needs to feel some sense of independence. Ugh, this is hard!
As I sat in the waiting area with the other mothers, clutching her emergency bag, I watched her scamper off to class with her new friends so excited. When she emerged from class beaming with happiness, my anxiety started to melt away. Her happiness was more important. And she fulfilled her wish to be on stage twice!
That year we were trying to figure out our next big step - kindergarten! She wanted to go to school more than anything, and ride a school bus. This was more difficult than we ever thought. My husband Dave, my mom and I were the only people in Syracuse who could mix her Flolan, change her line and dressing and know what to do in a PH emergency. I was not allowed to go to school with her since I wasn't a real nurse (though I felt like one!). The journey to find her a nurse would take us another year. We needed someone we trusted with Sarah's life, someone that would be like another member of our family.
We found that in Tina. She started training with Accredo to learn about PH and Flolan and all that comes with it. We spent a lot of time together before school started, and right after Sarah turned 6, the day finally came. This had become her biggest dream. She had watched the school buses go by from our livingroom window for at least three years now. "When will I get to ride the school bus and go to school?" It almost didn't happen. I thought of homeschooling for a long time. I couldn't bear the thought of her being out of my sight for that long, and all the germs!
But she wanted this more than anything, and here it was.
I thought she would jump out of her skin that morning she was so excited. I thought I would want to upchuck that morning or be sick with worry all day long. But the utter joy on her face as she climbed the stairs of the bus and turned to wave goodbye took it all away.
Dave and I felt so happy for her, it overshadowed any fear.
Her nurse Tina would go on the bus with her and be with her at school in case a problem arose. Sarah made it very clear to Tina, though, that she had to sit in another seat on the bus and give her some space!
Sarah made a ton of new friends and they all wanted to learn about her pump and backpack. The teacher made a big stop sign to put on the back of it to remind kids not to touch it. Sarah thought that was so cool!
Her friends all wore purple on a special day in November to help with PH awareness month; Sarah felt so special. She also won the heart of one of our local news anchors . He did two awareness news stories with her - one from our house when she was 5 and the other from her school when she was 6. She loved to be on TV!
And so the next couple years were filled with invites to birthday parties, school functions, ballet classes and class field trips. Her boring, sheltered life at home gave way to meeting many new people and friends and living life to the fullest. She was very popular at school and the smartest in her class. She loved everything about school and made her teachers and us so proud.
She told her music teacher that year in kindergarten that she too wanted to be a music teacher when she grew up. Even though she knew her PH could take her any time, it didn't stop her from having dreams and plans for the future.
When she started 1st grade, she was even more excited than the year before! Now her brother Nathan would have her kindergarten teacher from last year and they would ride the bus together. She would get sick a few times that fall, when she didn't at all the year before. All she cared about was feeling better and going back to school.
The end of that November 2009 her central line broke. It was the first time in four years that happened. She had never even had a line infection in that line. We were off to NY Presbyterian for a new one, and the only thing on her mind was getting back to school. All her friends sent her get well cards and she loved it!
She would get another bad bug that February break 2010 that would last through the next week also. When Monday, March 1, came around, she finally didn't have a fever anymore and said she wanted to go to school. She still seemed weak but begged me to go back. She had missed two weeks and was miserable about it.
She pushed through those first two days ok but started to have little nose bleeds. We were only a few weeks away from going for her annual heart catherization. I talked with the nurse at her PH doctor's office a few times over the course of her illness. We were thinking of moving up her appointment.
The next day was March 3, 2010. She was so excited about Wacky Waffle Wednesday at school. Her nurse Tina called me a couple times from school about her nose bleeds and weakness. They were heading to gym class (one of Sarah's favorites), and Tina had told her she couldn't join in today. Sarah had given her the lip and was so upset about this that Tina made a deal with her. She could join in, but one more nose bleed and she would call me back to come pick them up and call the doctor again.
Sarah was elated and ran to join her friends. They were playing games and having a blast when Sarah slowly dropped to her knees and fell over. I was called immediately and raced to the school. She looked very peaceful lying in her principal's arms. She slipped away as I walked with her to get in the ambulance. They tried to resuscitate her all the way to the hospital and until Dave arrived, but I knew it was no use.
In the days that followed, I beat myself up for what I should or shouldn't have done. Cursed myself for letting her do too much. She would be fine if she had just stayed home. Nonsense!
The hundreds of people she touched in her 7 1/2 years was amazing to us. The children who told us what an inspiration she was to them made us so proud.
I was looking at pictures and came across all the things we let her do that had been worrisome to us. In every single one, she wasn't just smiling a rehearsed smile but was in a moment of pure joy. Losing her was the most devastating thing in the world to us. But looking back and not having to regret holding her back because of her illness gives us happiness. We would have been thinking of all the things she had wanted to do and we didn't let her. That would have been unbearable.
I came to realize she would have passed away that day whether she was home, at school or anywhere else. But she was in one of her most favorite places, doing one of her most favorite things, surrounded by people who loved her. If it was going to happen, that was the way it should be.
Now we think back to some of the dreams that she had. Dancing on stage, going to school and riding the bus, having a best friend, riding on rides at the fair…. She did them all, and that puts a smile on our faces and peace in our hearts.

SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) Louisiana-Monroe, playing in its first bowl game, will meet Ohio in the Independence Bowl.
The Independence Bowl selected Ohio (8-4, 4-4 Mid-American Conference) after being told Louisiana Tech was not yet ready to accept an invitation the Dec. 28 contest that could have been a matchup of two north Louisiana schools.
The Warhawks (8-4, 6-2 Sun Belt Conference) announced Saturday that they had accepted an invitation to play in Shreveport, which is a drive of less than two hours from Monroe.
The Warhawks played in two overtime games against Southeastern Conference opponents this season, defeating Arkansas and losing to Auburn. ULM now heads into the postseason having won seven of its last nine games.
``To have a historic season culminate in a bowl such as the Independence Bowl and the great city of Shreveport is extra special,'' said Louisiana-Monroe coach Todd Berry. ``This team continues to work very hard. The ULM faithful can be very proud of this team both on and off the field and can know that we will give a maximum effort toward bringing the Independence Bowl trophy home with us.''
The Bobcats, whose selection was announced Sunday night, opened the 2012 season 7-0, including a victory at Penn State. Ohio was ranked as high as No. 25 in the AP poll, but lost four of its last five games.
Ohio will be playing in its fourth straight bowl and second in Louisiana since 2010, when the Bobcats fell to Troy in the New Orleans Bowl.
Ohio and ULM will be meeting for the first time. It will be the first appearance for Ohio in the Independence Bowl, but the second for coach Frank Solich, coached Nebraska in a 27-23 loss against Ole Miss in 2002.
Ohio athletic director Jim Schaus noted that he played for Oregon when the Ducks beat Tulsa team in the Independence Bowl in 1989.
``I am just so impressed with the history of the Bowl and how first-class it is,'' Schaus said. ``We are looking forward to the matchup, and we couldn't be happier.''
Led by quarterback Kolton Browning, the ULM has averaged 442.7 yards and 35.5 points per game. Browning has 2,830 yards passing and 27 touchdowns.
Ohio quarterback Tyler Tettleton has completed 62 percent of his passes this season for 2,513 yards and 16 TDs. He has had help from running back Beau Blankenship, who averaged 125 yards rushing and compiled a school-record 1,500 yards rushing and 11 touchdowns this season.

What would you pay for this bike? Here is the ad:
Since I switched to an Ogre as my all around trekking bike, I had this extra Karate Monkey frame set just lying around...what to do?
Build a dream bike and sell it, hopefully! This bike was built to handle the worst
cold/warm/freezing conditions that the Kenai Peninsula area has to offer.
Ride it, leave it, repeat.
No derailleurs, sealed bearing everything, cable freezing- not goina happen. Yeah the nuvinci has cables, but they are dual pull (as you pull one, it pulls the other, not the derailleur spring).
Everything is brand new, except the frame, headset, bars, grips, tires. I am fighting every second to not ride this bike.
Ride without fear of having bought a lemon, I am a certified bicycle mechanic from the United Bicycle Institute, and I'ze got papers to prove it.
*New Parts*
*Rims: P35 Velocity Blunt 36h *Front Hub: Surly Ultra New 6bolt disc
*Rear Hub: Nuvinci n360 CVP 18t cog * Brakes: Elixir 3 Hydraulic disc calipers & levers
*Crank Set: Surly Mr. Whirly 175mm Singlespeed 33t w/Bottom Bracket
*Chain: 45North Willful Neglect Rust Resistant 8 speed *Seat Post: Ritchey Pro 350mm
*Stem: Salsa 31.8 120mm 75/105d
*Used Parts*
*Tires: Nokian Gazza Extremes 294 carbide studs 29x2.1
Used only last winter approx. 200 miles
*Handle Bars & Grips: random un-marked from my stash *Head Set: Cane Creek S-1
*Frame Set: Surly Karate Monkey 20" *******The frame has one issue, which may or may not bother you. It was hard to find a proper rack for this frame when it came out, disc brake calipers obstruct the rack eyelets, so you had to use spacers. Spacers added too much leverage on the eyelets and one ripped off. This can be welded back on without damaging the frame, but they are not at all necessary. Today something like the Old Man Mountain rack is prescribed- oldmanmountain.com. As for all the black tape, it is/was there to prevent cable rub/chainslap/ski blade slicing/etc..

matthewbjohnson necesitaba un nuevo diseño de impreso o envases y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 42 diseños de 11 diseñadores freelance.
HealthBridge is an in-home senior care company. We help older folks live at home safely and independently. Our all star caregivers give families peace of mind, because they're experts at personal care and personal assistance.
For us, caregiving is a way of life. We love to help people. It's in our DNA. That's why we only hire the best of the best certified caregivers. It takes us about 100 interviews to find a keeper, but it's worth it.
Lots of companies provide in-home senior care, but we're different. Yeah, we know everyone says that, but we mean it.
We have 4 Big Things that make us different from everyone else and we want to tell everybody about it on this post card.
Our clients are older adults, but we receive most of our business from professional referrals from doctors, social workers, etc.
Find out more at myhealthbridge.com.
This post card is going to Professional Referral sources like:
social workers
discharge planners
assisted living directors
home health agency staff
These are people who are constantly bombarded with marketing messages. They hear from drug reps, medical supply companies (etc etc) all day long.
That's why this post card needs to be so simple and so specific!
This project is a 5 x 7 post card.
We want it to be SUPER simple and SUPER punchy. The four points below stand alone as compelling - without the need for a lot of fluff.
We want to get the following 4 messages across:
1) No Minimum. HealthBridge doesn't have an hourly minimum for care, so if you need help for just 1 hour, we can help. There's no up charge and no catch. This saves most of our clients about $5,000 a year.
2) All CNA Staff. HealthBridge only hires certified nursing assistants - not sitters. We require 2 years of experience too. It takes us about 100 applicants to find a keeper, but it's worth it.
3) Simple Pricing. HealthBridge doesn't charge more for nights and weekends. No catch. It's just that simple.
4) 100% Money Back Guarantee. If you're not 100% thrilled with your caregivers, we'll give you 100% of your money back.
We're not married to the copy, if you can improve it, please do! The first point above is the most compelling to our target audience. If it makes sense for it to stand out in your design, then go for it.
This is a 5 x 7 post card.
The design must be printable via printplace.com. You can find their templates here: http://bit.ly/9bdukS

ALL RIIIIGHT, Vulture has put together this motivational video of every instance of Linda Belcher uttering her signature catchphrase. And if you're feeling slow and sluggish this Saturday, you're only going to need about thirty seconds of Linda gently shouting at you before you feel the urge to...do something. (For instance, after watching the video, I felt the urge to write this and post it for your viewing pleasure.)
This could actually be a really good business for John Roberts who voices the character: charge people for recordings of Linda urging them to do specific things such as cleaning the toilet or washing the dishes. I would pay at least ten dollars to have a recording of Linda saying "All RIIIIGHT, Mark! Time to get up and face the unavoidable loneliness of existence!" to use as my alarm.
Here's the video:

Riesling from Mosel Valley Back to video
Mosel Valley, Germany
Since 1660 the Selbach family has been producing some of the very finest Rieslings in the Mosel Valley. This is arguably the greatest of all the German wine regions, which is known for the incredibly steep slopes, slate soils, and wines that are capable of ageing for decades.
This wine comes from the Sonnenuhr vineyard which is close to the village of Zelting. It is made entirely from the Riesling grape, which is picked when the level of sugar in the berry qualifies it to be classified as a "Spatlese", or late harvest. This indicates the wine is medium sweet.
The nose shows enticing aromas of sweet apricots, peaches and honey, with a subtle mineral character. The palate is medium in body, with succulent honeyed flavors and sweet apple, with a zesty acidity that dance across your palate. This is a wine of great elegance, delicacy and style.
Food and wine pairing: The medium sweet character of the wine will suit spicy Indian and Asian dishes, and fresh fruit plates.

How to Make the Gypsy Woman from 1534 in NYC
All through the caravan She was dancing with all the men Waiting for the rising sun Everyone was having fun... She was a gypsy woman —Santana
Get the Recipe
This winter, drink away the chill factor with the Gypsy Woman. This breezy nomad channels springtime by way of jasmine green tea-infused gin with fresh lime juice, St. Germain elderflower liqueur and yellow Chartreuse. With a distinctly floral spice, this cocktail from Manhattan's 1534 is easy going down, but not so easy to pin down.
Oftentimes St. Germain—delicious as it may be—highjacks a cocktail; here, it melds with yellow Chartruese to make a soft, sweet backdrop to the dry, house-infused gin. Head bartender Justin Noel zeroed in on jasmine to create a sunny drink "reminiscent of afternoon tea."
The base spirit is Spring 44, which is a bold but not crazy-spicy gin. "Anyone can make a tea infusion in just a few hours," notes 1534 bartender James Lombardino. The jasmine tea, says Noel, offers "a brighter flavor than you get with a black tea," and flavors that will remind you of spring flowers in bloom.
After double straining to keep sneaky ice chips away, Lombardino garnishes the Gypsy Woman with a lemon peel, first rubbing the peel on the glass's rim and spraying its essential oils on top with a quick twist. It's this bright citrus that jumps out first, the floral caravan dancing close behind.

Tracy D'Arpino earned her bachelor's degree in exercise science from Springfield College. She has been working in the fitness industry for 15 years as a personal trainer, group exercise instructor and educator. Tracy owns her own personal training studio, the Fitness Factor in Quincy, MA, and is a Nautilus master trainer, faculty instructor for TSI, a member of sunshine fitness resources and has worked closely with Wayne Westcott assisting in research at the South Shore YMCA. She is an avid runner and triathlete, has completed four marathons and enjoys outdoor sports as part of her fitness training.
Personal training can be a challenging day-to-day business. Growing your business, keeping track of cancellations and rescheduling, trying to fill down time and maximizing your income can take a lot of time and energy. Look at your clientele, daily income, percent of cancellations and number of clients who may only work out once per week because of the extra cost of personal training. You could look at each of these factors and improve upon them with 30-minute personal training sessions.
Personal training packages are typically sold by the hour. In order to maximize your daily profits by decreasing the number of cancellations and increasing the number of clients trained, you may want to consider 30-minute individual or group sessions. Although this may not be for everyone, it will certainly be beneficial to the majority of the general population. A 30-minute strength training session that meets two times per week using a high-intensity strength training technique will make your clients successful, and you can maximize your training session by training two to four clients per hour. Clients will also be more likely to be consistent if they meet with you more than once a week and see better results in eight weeks. Clients who train with a partner will be more likely commit to their personal training appointments knowing another client is training with them. This makes each person more accountable and dedicated to each other as well as to you.
These personal training packages should be sold as 30-minute sessions meeting two to three times per week for a specific duration. For example, set your client up on a program that meets for two times per week for eight weeks for a total of 16 sessions. Once the eight weeks is over, the client must renew if he or she would like to continue. This way there are no make-ups, and you can start to build a more predictable business.
You can offer this kind of training to your current clients and future clients in many different ways. After meeting and interviewing a new client, you will prescribe an exercise program. (You may want to have your clients start with five, one hour personal training sessions followed by the 30-minute high-intensity training sessions, others may jump right into it.) That is where your expertise as a trainer will be required. In promoting yourself, you can offer a trial session to potential clients and to referrals.
Circuit high-intensity strength training is very successful in both results and client satisfaction. It is quick, fun and you can still coach them as their trainer on their cardiovascular workouts and flexibility training. Since you will see them two to three times per week, you will be able to set them up on their own weekly workouts to keep them accountable.
The great feature of 30-minute high intensity training is that it does not require a variety of equipment. Instead, it requires 10 to 12 pieces of strength equipment. As a personal trainer, your responsibility is to be educated on different high-intensity techniques and whom they are appropriate for.
Note: For more information, read the book, High Intensity Strength Training, by Dr. Wayne Westcott and Tracy D'Arpino.

I spend a lot of free time skimming through the blog links I keep at the right, and unfortunately, a good chunk of them were abandonblogs or had shifted away from Ubuntu or Linux in general. I've culled out some of them, and unfortunately now my list has grown (comparatively) short.
If you've got a blog about Ubuntu (or Arch Linux or even just Linux) and you don't see it in the list, please let me know where it is. I like to keep a current list for my own benefit, if not for everyone else's as well.
(Yes, I've been through Carthik Sharma's list, so thanks for mentioning it. 🙂 And I'm skimming the planets I watch for links too.)

On Thursday during the FOX8 Morning News at 9:00, Linda McLean with Weight Watchers is joining us to share some of her best recipes for summer brunch parties.
Here are the recipes she's featuring:
Lemon-Ginger Fruit Dip
- 1 cup fat-free vanilla yogurt
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- ½ tsp fresh lemon juice
- ½ tsp grated fresh ginger root
In a small bowl, stir together yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice and ginger. Yields about 2 tablespoons per serving. Serve with nectarines, strawberries, pineapple, or mango.
Fluffy Lemon- Ricotta Pancakes
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda ½ tsp table salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs, yolks and whites separated
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 Tbsp lemon zest, or more to taste ½ cup part-skim ricotta cheese 3 sprays cooking spray
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, beat together buttermilk, egg yolks, sugar, lemon zest and ricotta cheese by hand. In a clean bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Add dry ingredients to buttermilk mixture until just combined; gently fold in egg whites until they are just incorporated. Coat a large nonstick griddle or pan with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Spoon batter into pan in batches using ¼ cup of batter for each pancake; cook until lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove pancakes to a tray in a warm oven and repeat with remaining batter (being careful not to spray cooking spray into open flame). Yields 2 pancakes per serving.

What's That Buzz in Mar Vista?
The Mar Vista Community Council is studying a proposal to legalize beekeeping in the neighborhood.
"Mar Vista may soon become home to the city of Los Angeles' first urban beekeeping farms. The Mar Vista Community Council unanimously approved a feasibility study Tuesday on legalizing beekeeping within the coastal enclave.
The move comes as scientists seek to explain the mysterious death of billions of bees nationwide, a problem many experts think urban beekeeping could help ameliorate.
"We will have no more bees by 2035 if nothing is done," warned Rob McFarland of the urban beekeeping advocacy group Backwards Beekeepers. "The future of beekeeping is not one man with 60,000 hives, but rather 60,000 men with one hive." [Simon Buxton, Vanishing of the Bees]
Honeybees pollinate more than a third of America's crops. Many farmers in the Central Valley import the insects every year to pollinate almond trees and other important regional crops.
Millions of hives have collapsed without warning in recent years. The United States Environmental Protection Agency says beekeepers began reporting the inexplicable loss of 30-90 percent of their hives during the winter of 2006-07. EPA officials attribute the phenomenon to Colony Collapse Disorder, the cause of which continues to elude scientists. Theories include an invasive mite and harsh pesticides used to protect crops.
The Backwards Beekeepers—named for celebrated writer-beekeeper Charles Martin Simon's philosophy that people should conform to nature instead of forcing nature to conform to them—formed in 2008 to promote urban beekeeping in Los Angeles. Urban beekeeping, the group leaders say, allows bees to thrive in highly controlled environments.
One of the Backwards Beekeepers' major accomplishments is the legalization of beekeeping in Santa Monica last year. Before the city ordinance passed in 2010, Santa Monica had a blanket policy of euthanizing bees in so-called "feral" hives.
The Backwards Beekepers had a strong presence at the Mar Vista Community Council meeting Tuesday to support a proposed resolution legalizing beekeeping. "This gives bees another get-out-of-jail-free card," McFarland told the council. "We believe this is a necessary measure requiring immediate action," he said.
Mar Vista resident Mark Lebovitz has battled numerous bouts of cancer and ascribes his current good health to a well-balanced diet high in organic fruits and vegetables."Food is my medicine," he said. "Suddenly, we're looking into the possibility that we're not going to have any more good foods to eat."
Council members enthusiastically embraced the idea of urban beekeeping, with Kate Anderson even volunteering up her backyard for the venture.
Maurice Vickers of Backwards Beekeepers voiced his approval of the council's vote outside the Mar Vista Recreation Center after the meeting. Legalizing beekeeping, Vickers said, just makes sense. "After all, bees are keeping themselves all over Mar Vista. Are they here legally or do they have to have someone's approval? I think it's better to have a controlled beekeeping situation. … Let's put bees in their rightful place," he said.
Once the study is complete, the council will decide whether to legalize beekeeping in Mar Vista."

Family of children killed in West Allis fire thanks rescuers
Family members set up memorial fund
The family of children killed in a house fire in West Allis on Thursday is thanking the authorities for their compassion and professionalism in the midst of a tragedy.
In a statement to 12 News, family members said "We would like to start by thanking the West Allis Police Department, the West Allis Fire Department, and the Medical Examiner's Office for their compassion and professional handling of this catastrophe. Their time and dedication has been greatly appreciated. We would like to thank everyone for respecting our privacy during this heartbreaking time."
Family members said 5-year-old Nayeli was a princess and the light of their lives, who dreamed of becoming Miss America. Nayeli and her twin brothers, 4-year-olds Alex and Adrian, were found dead after a fire razed their home in West Allis.
"Alex and Adrian came into this world together and never strayed from one another's sides. Alex was fiercely protective of Adrian, and secretly thought of himself as Batman," family members said.
The family has set up a memorial fund to honor the memory of the children. Donations can be made to Nayeli, Alex and Adrian Memorial Fund at any Northshore bank starting Monday.
"Our sole purpose at this time is to lay our babies to rest in a good way," family members said. "Our comfort during this tragedy is knowing they are together in eternity, as they were in life."

Rushing To Fields Of Scream: Nothing But Trees Can Hear You
By now, you know that nothing gets past the watchful eye of Ranger Dick in his quaint cabin on his own little acre of nature, especially pretty blonde teenage girls with superior ttits like Tiffany Watson. Ranger Dick has a big network of helpers feeding his insatiable desire for extreme teen sex, role play and slave training, but he's got enough cock to go around and more than enough energy to engage in endless rough sex with these wide-eyed sluts. Tiffany is brought to the desolate location under the phony premise of a lovely nature hike by Karly, and after a time wandering around in the thick, creepy, dark, forest, a scary looking guy wearing a mask jumps out of the bushes and chases the two, separating them from one another. Tiffany finds friendly Ranger Dick's cabin, but unfortunately for her, he's off the clock and unwilling to help out… well, depending on what Tiffany is offering in return, that is. Perhaps a deepthroat blowjob will change his mind? Yes, it does, and even though the master has agreed to help, he still ties her wrists together with rope and gives her face a frenzied fucking while she gags on his fat dick. Next, ranger Dick eats her gorgeous ass and bald pussy before tying her wrists to the headboard and fucking the living daylights out of her until he conjures up a big load of fresh white snake dairy cream to dump all over her face

A V-ring consists of a seal body, a flexible, conical-shaped sealing lip and an integral, resilient "hinge" (fig 1). It is stretched and installed directly on the shaft, where it is held in place by the inherent tension of the seal body. It rotates with the shaft and seals axially against a stationary counterface.
The counterface can be the end face of a bearing, a washer, stamping, bearing housing, or even the metal case of a radial shaft seal.
The flexible sealing lip applies contact pressure against the counterface that is relatively low but sufficient enough to maintain the sealing function. The light contact pressure even enables the seal to run dry in some low-speed applications resulting in insignificant torque drag or heat build-up. The contact pressure varies with the fitted width.
The flexible lip and hinge provide adequate sealing even in applications with considerable end play and shaft misalignment.
As a result of centrifugal force, the contact pressure of the lip decreases as speed increases. This means that friction losses and heat are kept to a minimum, resulting in improved wear resistance and extended service life. The power loss reaches its maximum at a shaft speed of approximately 12 m/s (2 360 ft/min) and is thereafter gradually reduced up to 20 m/s (3 900 ft/min), where it will decrease to zero. The V-ring then serves as a gap-type seal and deflector.

Barbara791 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 39 diseños de 12 diseñadores freelance.
This is a product to be offered as an ebook on my website in exchange for email contact info. So I need the cover design created. The title is Expand Your Personal Joy and the tagline could be A Quickstart For The Heart
I was in the corporate world and left to find a better way to live in connection to my heart. I created an experiential retreat program and became a mentor to women and a catalyst for personal joy. I facilitate retreats and training for personal growth with my co-facilitators... horses.
My mission is to help women tap into their own inner resources and create the life they love to live.
Women 30 - 70 years old, mostly 45-65, middle income, retirees and entrepreneurs. 98% of my participants are from all over the country. My desired market is women in business world that are looking for a deeper connection to their soul and want more joy from their life.
I am looking for an e-book graphic design for my e-book about stepping up to your life and expanding personal joy. I like a warm zen like peaceful energy in my design. I want people to feel the mystery and gentle energy of my work through the pictures and words. I am open to creative designs and want the focus on me instead of my retreat center or unique work with horses.
I am attaching my attempt at a cover design, I liked the colors and the freshness of the ocean however, I am from the mountains of Asheville, NC and so we could use something else if you have a better idea.
I have also included more shots of me and the land in Asheville. I don't have one of the hemlock and rhododendron forests of the Blue Ridge but I love the look of a deep forrest and an inviting path - a mystical look that is pretty and inspiring as well.
I have a higher resolution logo if necessary but it doesn't have to be on the design unless you think it is something you want to work with.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst is a fine game.
Or rather it is so-so.
Until this rediculous challenge: 'Defeat Krugersec'. Why???
Why do i have to defeat the armed K-Sec guards without being able to even pick up a firearm like you could in ME1. Why try to defeat the armed guards without using a gun when your jump kick is made incrementally sluggish while your health declines (and no way to restore). Why try to defeat the armed guards when fleeing from them is disabled. Who designed this crap?! Who told them to?
Managers are ruining the world. This is not Mirror's Edge.
