My Blog: wear red
By: Asmurf24


Will you give this to my Daddy?

As a Company, Southwest Airlines is going to support 'Red Fridays.'

Last week I was in , attending a conference. While I
was in the airport, returning home, I heard several people behind me
beginning to clap and cheer I immediately turned around and witnessed
one of the greatest acts of patriotism I have ever seen.

Moving thru the terminal was a group of soldiers in their camos. As they
began heading to their gate, everyone (well alm ost everyone)was abruptly
to their feet with their hands waving and cheering.

When I saw the soldiers, probably 30-40 of them, being applauded and
cheered for, it hit me. I'm not alone. I'm not the only red-blooded
American who still loves this country and supports our troops and their
families.

Of course I immediately stopped and began clapping for these young
unsung heroes who are putting their lives on the line everyday for us so
we can go to school, work and home without fear or reprisal.

Just when I thought I could not be m ore proud of my country or of our
service men and women, a young girl, not more than 6 or 7 years old ran
up to one of the male soldiers. He kneeled down and said 'hi.'

The little girl then asked him if he would give something to her daddy
for her.

The young soldier, who didn't look any older than maybe 22 himself,
said he would try and what did she want to give to her daddy. Then
suddenly the little girl grabbed the neck of this soldier, gave him the
biggest hug she could muster and then kissed him on the cheek.

The mother of t he little girl, who said her daughter's name was
Courtney, told the young soldi er that her husband was a Marine and had
been in Iraq for 11 months now. As the mom was explaining how much her
daughter Courtney missed her father, the young soldier began to tear up.

When this temporarily single mom was done explaining her situation, all
of the soldiers huddled together for a brief second. Then one of the
other servicemen pulled out a military-looking walkie-talkie. They
started playing with the device and talking back and forth on it.

After about 10-15 seconds of this, the young soldier walked back over to
Courtney, bent down and said this to her, 'I spoke to your daddy and he
told me to give this to you.' He then hugged this little girl that he
had just met and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He finished by saying
'your daddy told me to tell you that he loves you more than anything and
he is coming home very soon.'

The mom at this point was crying almost uncontrollably and as the young
soldier stood to his feet, he saluted Courtney and her mom. I was
standing no more than 6 feet away from this entire event


As the soldiers began to leave, heading towards their gate, people
resumed their applause As I stood there applauding and looked around,
there were very few dry eyes, including my own. That young soldier in
one last act of selflessness, turned around and blew a kiss to Courtney
with a tear rolling down his cheek.

We need to remember everyday all of our soldiers and their families and
thank God for them and their sacrifices. At the end of the day, it's
good to be an American.

RED FRIDAYS ----- Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing
Red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to
be called the 'silent majority'. We are no longer silent, and are
voicing our love for God, country and home in record b reaking numbers.

We are not organized, boisterous or over-bearing.. We get no liberal
media coverage on TV, to reflect our message or our opinions. Many  
Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize
that the vast majority of supports our troops.

Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity
and respect starts this Friday -and continues each and every Friday
until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that.. Every
red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar will wear
something red.

By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the on every
Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the
bleachers.

If every one of us who loves this country will share this with
acquaintances, co-workers, friends, and family. It will not be long before the is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the
once 'silent' majority is on their side more than ever; certainly more
than the media lets on.

The first thing a soldier says when asked 'What can we do to make
things better for you?' is...We need your support and your prayers.

Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example; and
wear something red every Friday.

  IF YOU AGREE -- THEN SEND THIS ON.

  IF YOU COULD CARE LESS THEN HIT THE DELETE BUTTON --- IT IS YOUR
  CHOICE.

Winner to Surf Out of Whistler Festival in a Brand New Pontiac Wave

Photo of 2007 Pontiac Wave 5-door

 

 
If winning a free trip to Whistler for the TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival is the ultimate heist, then Pontiac is providing the gilt-edge to the experience, offering a Pontiac Wave to the winner of the Ride the Wave contest.

The Pontiac Ride the Wave contest launched this week with radio and web promotions across Canada. Five finalists will enter the Wave on the afternoon of Saturday April 14th and test their mettle in the barrel of the car over 10 days, in order to decide if they are worthy of the ultimate break.

The five contestants will get to Ride The Wave, and the swell of cabin fever, in the ultimate survivor game.

The rules are simple:          

Outlast and outwit 4 other strangers living in the car.

Bail, and you’re out.

Win one of the many challenges, and your immunity might garner you a leave pass for the night to attend one of the TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival’s epic afterdark events.

Can you stick it, all the way to the shore? That’s the ultimate test.

The reward? You go home in a brand new Pontiac Wave.

Aspiring Wave-riders are invited to enter online at www.whistler2007.com/2007/contests < http://www.whistler2007.com/2007/contests >

CREATIVE STAKES GET HIGHER AS 72 HOUR FILMMAKER SHOWDOWN OFFERS $2000  CASH PURSE IN ADDITION TO PRIZE HAUL
 

 

Registration underway for TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival’s film-making sprint.

Film-making becomes an athletic endeavour at Whistler’s annual 72 Hour Filmmaker Showdown. The competition, an integral part of the TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival’s line-up, challenges artists to perform feats of speed, endurance and precision, with the call to shoot, edit and produce a 3-5 minute digital film set within a 100km radius of Whistler in the space of 72 hours.

The 72 Hour Filmmaker Showdown traditionally spawns a concentrated burst of creative energy in Whistler. The Muses descend en masse, as 100 filmmaking teams are loosed on the resort and are given free range to blow the budget, burn the midnight oil and storm the house to meet a deadline.

The Gala screening of finalists is the hottest ticket in town, packing the 2000 seat Conference Centre.  Even the unsanctioned Second Cuts screenings sell out. Previous winners have also received significant exposure, including screenings for the Directors Guild of Canada, at the 2003 Squaw Valley Film Festival, and the 2003 World of Comedy International Film Festival in Toronto. Winners from the 5 previous years of the competition can be viewed at www.whistler2007.com.

The winner of the 2007 Best in Show award will pick up $15,000 in prizes including a $2000 cash purse.

The call for participants is now underway, open to anyone who loves to make films - amateurs and professionals, teams or individuals. Teams from California, Montreal, Vancouver and Whistler have already lodged early submissions.  Festival Production Coordinator Lilli Clark says, “The profile of 72 Hour Filmmaker Showdown is growing, and it’s earning a reputation globally as a quality film-making event, with professionals and industry-insiders from across the country lining up to take part.”

The exposure for the film-makers is more than just to a packed house at the Gala screening, but will put their work before an A-list panel of reviewers and judges from within the Canadian film industry. 

Industry luminaries including Leo nominated writer and director Tara Hungerford; the film, TV and theatre producer who is also behind the monthly Celluloid Social Club, Paul Armstrong; Anthony Vitale from WhiteOut Films and Zaib Shaikh of Little Mosque on the Prairie fame will sit on the review panel to choose the finalists.

Due to the popularity of the Filmmaker Showdown, advance registration is highly recommended. Entries may still be accepted, but not guaranteed, at a meeting required for all participants at the TELUS Conference Centre on Friday April 14 at 9am in Whistler. The deadline for guaranteed entry is April 3rd. The competition begins following the meeting at 10am. You can register your intent to participate and read up about all the filming details at www.whistler2007.com/film/entry.

ATHLETES HAVE UNTIL MARCH 8 TO THROW THEIR NAME IN THE RUNNING FOR A SPOT IN THE WHISTLER COMPETITIONS 

 
TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival’s Canadian MVP will win inaugural Pontiac Peak Performer Award and a hot new ride  

WHISTLER, BC, February 23 2007 –

For 10 days in April, skiers & snowboarders will gather for five competitions and the classic end to an incredible season in Whistler.

Snowboarders and skiers will again join forces for the 2007 TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival, with the Old Spice World Snowboarding Classic and the World Skiing Invitational taking place simultaneously April 12 - 21.

Over 150 riders and skiers will take on the Stompede, Rail Session, Superpipe and TWO Big Air competitions throughout the festival week. In addition to $100,000 in cash & prizes on the line, athletes will be motivated to go big by the opportunity to win the inaugural Pontiac Peak Perfomer Award and the keys to a brand new Pontiac G5 GT.

The Canadian skier or rider who out-spins, out-jumps and out-grinds their competitors across four events and receives the most votes at the on-site Pontiac display will receive the Peak Performer award and will squeal out of town in a slick, black Pontiac G5 GT after the April 21 Big Air.

A newly introduced lottery format will give the opportunity for emerging athletes to secure a spot in the World Skiing Invitational and Old Spice World Snowboarding Classic competitions, so fresh contenders can mix it up with established pros and previous champions.

Athlete Manager Lindsay O’Brien said, “Uniting pros and amateurs through a mixture of invitational and open fields makes the festival an event for all levels of riders.  It provides an exciting opportunity for up & comers to size up their skills against the pros and help to launch their competitive careers and have a ton of fun in the process.”
 
Between now and March 8, athletes can go to www.whistler2007.com to request an invitation or enter the lottery.  Confirmed competitor lists will be announced on March 12.

I hate not being able to focus... =(
 
Seriously... all I want to know is why.

 
It's funny how someone can say "sorry" so many times, and yet it has no affect.

Sure, you said some things that you shouldn't.

I'm not mad at you.

But realize that a single word isn't going to fix the problems.

Really, I don't think there's anything that can fix them.

It will be a slow, slow recovery, but eventually things will get better.

It really really suxs when u cry for the longest and then u dont have anymore  tears

And you... well I don't know how you're feeling, but you'll feel better.

Who knows, maybe something good will even come out of this all.

Probably not, but we can always hope.

PNW by Theory-3 Media and Poorboyz Productions & Distribution: PNW presented by Theory-3 Media and Poorboyz Productions & Distribution
By: Theory3Media


For immediate release:

PNW -

Turn Left, Turn Right, Exit Here, Entering, Welcome to...change the
song, pass the chips, are we there yet? From the creators of
[PHOTO]PLAY, we present to you…PNW... Through the creative vision of
Theory-3 Media, in association with Poorboyz Productions &
Distribution we bring to you a 2 Disc, 2 version, high-definition
skiing documentary covering the uncontrolled locations and the endless
possibilities held by the Pacific Northwest.

PNW will not be just your typical rider segmented film, but rather a
production documenting the travels and locations visited by focusing a
unique group of athletes and an entire season on endless areas of
Alaska, British Columbia, and Washington. The film's layout will be
broken up into segments covering the intricate highway systems, with
the joint travels of a few select athletes and crew linking the areas
of the PNW into a smooth flowing production. With lots of research,
and the impulsive choices of athletes and crew, we expect the body of
the film to be made up of random highway towns and certain specific,
but also unplanned backcountry sledding/touring locales. The skiing
within the film will cover all aspects of backcountry jumping, big
mountain skiing, urban/terrain park skiing, and the ideal combination
of all the above.

→NOTE: We will also include 1-2 additional segments within the PNW
documentary covering special event's, super park shoots, special trips
from outside of the Pacific North West. These segments will be tied
into the film with a PNW hook to be used as a recess between other
segments for issues with weather, athlete schedules, etc within the
Pacific North West.

In addition to the feature 'documentary', the PNW product will include
a 2nd DVD focusing on a re-edited, rider segmented film, with new
footage from outside of the PNW, and a slightly more 'typical' layout.
The riders will be giving his folder's worth of footage, and will
choose each specific shot for his ideal additional segment. It will
also include an athlete commentary covering who, what, when, where and
why, that rider chose those shots for his specific segment. We hope to
achieve two exciting films that can truly cover the dynamic that makes
up the sport of skiing, the Northwest and everything the riders, and
production crew put into their short run snow filled season.

The WSA is having a meeting at 3 Below, the restaurant next to the movie theatre, on Monday Jan. 15th. The main objective of the meeting is to get everyone together to talk about the rebuilding of the ramps down in the underground. We have ordered the skatelite for the resurfacing of the bowl (which cost $4,500) and it will be arriving next week. We would like to put a call out to any interested skilled builders for the resurfacing and expansion of the park. As well, we will be talking about our next fundraiser/event among other things. So come on out and support Skateboarding in Whislter.
