Cancer, it claims the lives of thousands. Just last week a local Relay For Life event was held in Shreveport and Bossier. KTBS broadcast two live special programs bringing you personal stories by those affected and also provided you with information on early detection. If you ask around I believe it would be very difficult to find someone whose life has not been touched by cancer. This week a member of the KTBS family lost their mother to cancer. Our prayers and thoughts are with them. My father is recovering from prostate cancer right now. My mother, she has had several types of skin cancer. I’m sure everyone remembers little Ethan Powell who lost his battle just a few months ago. What I’m saying is that everyone should help fight this. Early detection is the key. If you are at risk, please visit your doctor for a screening. Get a blood test to check your white blood cell count or your PSA levels. Get your mammogram or colonoscopy. Let your dermatologist take a look at that irregular mole. Just do everything you can to protect yourself. You can also visit the Relay For Life website for more information. On a lighter note though, below are some photos of the event. If you would like a copy of any these photos just let me know. Also if you check out the videos in the side bar below you will find some clips of the event shot by Sherri Talley.
These days, people are not satisfied with what they see on their TV screens unless they can see the fine print on that football as it’s being tossed, or count how many blemishes an actor has on their face. Aiptek has stepped up to the plate, and is offering a new HD camcorder that won’t burn a hole in your pocket.
It also doesn’t have a lens cover (come on Aiptek, you couldn’t throw in an extra piece of plastic to protect that fancy lens?) which means micro-scratches can become an issue if you aren’t careful when handling this camcorder. There doesn’t seem to be any form of image stabilization either, so people with shaky hands might run into difficulty.
An image on your blog is probably the most desirable asset to a blogger. But how do you get an image? Once you figure how to post the image then the lust for custom images will overcome you. So now the mission is how to create a unique captivating piece of art. No blog is complete without it. There is so many possibilities about what can be done. You could really have an entire page of pics. A creative chaotic simplicity, streamlined navigation, these are just a few things to strive for.
What’s being said NOW!
