I've been looking around for info on the storms from last night. So far there have been 4 confirmed tornados, one of which hit Forney. Here's the story link: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/tx/7517296.htmlI'll post more as I find them. ...
possible tornado!
Very early this morning we were hit by a massive storm, and possibly a tornado. For the first time ever, my weather radio didn't go off...and the storm developed so fast that the warning sirens didn't even go off. The power went out between 1:30 and 2, just as the wind started blowing over 60 mph. I got up and went into the living room to look out the picture window to see what was going on. Just as I was doing that, it started sounding like a freight train was running over the top of the house. A bunch of branches and other debris started flying at the window and house, so I ran back into the bedroom. Jason got up and we went back out so I could get a few candles lit. The wind and rain died down quickly and I saw that the neighbors were out.At that point, I had no idea what was going on with the weather since we didn't have any power. I threw on some more appropriate clothes and headed out to see what the damage was. There were tree limbs and broken glass everywhere. The ...
tips on creating a media kit?
Yesterday I was asked if I had a media kit for the blog. I admit, I had to Google it to find out what it was since I'm still very new to the who advertising & PR thing. I found several good templates and now I'm trying to cobble one together for future use. You'd think that since I am a writer I'd be able to crank it out real fast...but it's not as easy as it sounds. At this point, I'm open to any suggestions or help anyone could give. ...
a few more changes
I'm still working on narowing down the lables. It's slow going, but I'm slowly getting there. I also took the archive down since it was adding a large number of links on the page. Most everything can be found with the tag cloud and anything else with the search box. ...
Fundraising Event for Japan Relief Effort
'Pray for Japan' @ my deviantArt site A few days ago, I was contacted by ~SolanaceousHerb about my 'Pray for Japan' poster. She is involved with a fundraising even in Germany and asked if they could use the poster as part of the decorations. They will be accepting donations in exchange for a meal. All donations will be sent to the relief effort for Japan. The event will be taking place this Sunday. If you are interested, you can contact her via note on deviantArt.She will be sending me some pictures and also said that she would let me know how it turned out. ...
Product Review – TShirtPrinting.net
TShirtPrinting.net sent me one of their t-shirts to try and review. The company is located in the UK, but I think that they do take international orders. Their pricing varies on a case by case basis, and is determined by type & quality, number of shirts ordered, the prints per shirt, and the amount of colors used. They sent me a gray shirt with their mascot printed on it. The cloth is a very nice quality. The screen printing for the mascot is excellent. Their shirt sizes run very large, however. I normally were a large, and even thought they did warn me about the sizing, I still went with a large just to be on the safe size. The shirt fits, but wears like an extra large. Their website is also very easy to navigate. Overall, I'm very impressed with their product. I will definitely consider them if I'm ever in the market for getting some t-shirts printed. If your interested in getting a price quote and/or ordering, can visit their website. I received one or more of the ...
