How to Mastermind a Successful Cause-Related PR Campaign with Celebrities and a Rubber DuckyBy Frank Zeccola
Getting involved with a cause or charity is a great PR strategy. You can score media attention for a company, personality or product and also do good to make the world a better place.
But this comes with a few huge warnings: First, consumers are skeptical. Tenuous ties to the green trend, for example, have led to greenwashing and public distrust of companies making environmental claims. So you better be genuine. Also, the people who work for you or the organization you're working with could be corrupt. Money gets stolen. Funds get diverted into people's pockets instead of toward the cause.
In other words, a good news story can quickly turn bad. Think about the American Red Cross 9/11 scandal. Jack Abramoff. William Aramony of United Way. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Even the Nature Conservancy isn't immune, landing in hot water in 2003 for acting unethically in selling discounted tracts of land to trustees, who then wrote the payments off on their income taxes.
But this article isn't about scandal or unethical organizations. This is about a charity campaign and the people involved who did everything right.
If you're considering a cause-related PR program, you'll want to implement many of the tactics and strategies in this case study. This will serve as an outline and checklist to make sure you're getting the most out of your campaign—especially if you have a small budget.
The challenge: Get big media coverage for a "little" baby-product company while raising breast cancer awareness. Baby-product maker Munchkin, Inc. came to New York-based PR firm MSandL in 2006 in an effort to make headlines beyond parenting media. Munchkin makes products for infants and toddlers, such as bottles, teething toys, sippy cups, carriers and more.
After Munchkin first approached MSandL, the staffers working on the account began grappling with the obvious issues. "It's hard to make a splash in the national media with a new pacifier," says Vickie Fite managing director for MSandL. "These are low-ticket items. And Munchkin's slogan is, 'It's the little things.' The question then became, how do you get publicity for the little things?"
It would take much more than a generic product pitch to get national coverage for Munchkin. MSandL needed to tie to something newsworthy and attention grabbing.
From a product standpoint, one of Munchkin's most popular items is the classic yellow rubber ducky. Their Safety Bath Ducky is "America's #1 Safety Duck," and includes a temperature gauge telling you when the water is too hot and, when the water cools, lets you know that it's safe to put your baby in.
MSandL advised Munchkin to do something star-studded with the rubber ducks: Send them to celebrities.
Then, they would have the celebrities decorate the ducks to match their personalities—and put them up on eBay. It would all benefit a cause close to the heart of their target audience: Moms.
The strategy: Engage celebrities in the cause with a creative "Project Pink." With Munchkin's target consumers in mind, Fite and her team came up with a cause-related campaign for moms. "We wanted to drive awareness for breast cancer examinations and help raise money for a cure," Fite says. "Breast cancer is a huge charity that really gets women connected."
In addition, the wife of a Munchkin vice president is a breast cancer survivor, and MSandL knew the personal connection to the cause would resonate with moms everywhere. A personal connection to any cause is one of the most important things in a charity campaign. You will alleviate consumer skepticism and also make it real for your brand and consumers.
Munchkin and MSandL decided that sales from the campaign would benefit the popular breast cancer charity Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
But before they fleshed it out completely, there were still major challenges to consider: "Breast cancer awareness has intense competition," Fite explains. "Komen has so many sponsors giving away millions and millions of dollars. It's always a challenge to stand out."
To get attention, they had to do something extraordinarily big and attention grabbing.
The result was Project Pink.
It bore the tagline "Don't Duck a Breast Exam" and aimed to help raise awareness and find a cure for breast cancer.
Project Pink launches. Here's how it worked: Munchkin transformed its yellow bath duck into a limited edition pink duck. Then, they created personalized and customized decorating kits for celebrities. They asked the celebrities to decorate the ducks with the materials from the kits and mail them back to be put on eBay. All proceeds would benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure. "We would not compensate [the celebrities], so they really had to believe in the cause," Fite says.
She adds: "The magic word here is customize. We took great pains to make sure each celebrity kit was customized. If we sent the same exact kit to Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon, they wouldn't be as likely to participate. It wouldn't be effective."
In addition: "The kits reflected their personalities. Whether it was sequin or feathers or surfboards, we made sure they got something realistic to them. So McConaughey's kit had a surfboard, and Witherspoon's had a boa."
During the first two years of the campaign, they sent kits to dozens and dozens of celebrities. "We sent pitch letters in advance, and if we got a response, we sent them their kits," Fite says.
Celebrities who participated in the first two years included McConaughey and Witherspoon, Brook Shields, then first lady Laura Bush, Katie Couric, Lucy Liu, Pattie LaBelle, Melissa Joan Hart and more. The first year included 15 celebrity participants, and by the second year, it was up to 23.
Getting their ducks in a row: The keys to successfully selling celebrities—and the media—on a rubber ducky campaign. "We put the ducks in care packages with decorating kits and sent them to celebrities," Fite says. "Some just autographed it, but others spent a lot of time decorating their ducks. After we received the ducks, we put them up for bid on eBay."
Another key to successfully getting the celebrities to participate was streamlining the process for them. "We sent a messenger to deliver the kits and collect them again when they were finished decorating. We made sure it was completely easy and turnkey."
When it was time to reach out to the media, they hit celebrity magazines and morning radio shows, trading the products for on-air banter. In addition, in the campaign's second year, they embarked on some highly successful viral web communications:
"Munchkin's web agency created a viral game, called 'Email a duck, raise a buck,'" Fite says. "You could decorate a digital duck and email it to friends and family. Every time your email was forwarded, five cents was donated to the campaign. You could track your email online and follow it around the country as it got passed around."
The results: 300 million media impressions—and $30,000 raised for breast cancer awareness. Throughout the 2007 campaign, MSandL secured more than 300 million media impressions and landed coverage in top outlets like InTouch Weekly, Star, About.com, LifetimeTV.com, XM Radio and 125 other radio stations. In addition, they raised $33,000 for Komen, and landed a very surprising media hit.
Something to write home about: Munchkin lands in "Dear Abby." "One of the most successful hits was the 'Dear Abby' column," Fite says. "She's the mother of all mothers, and her column has huge distribution—1,400 newspapers worldwide, which translated to 100 million in circulation. But more than that, her endorsement of the campaign as a great way to support breast cancer was huge. You could see it tie back to web traffic. There was a huge jump on the website."
The take home: How "little" things can make a big difference. "This campaign shows how the little things can really make a big difference," Fite says. "If you have a client selling small price-point items, don't think they can't play in the big leagues. Every little bit counts—and not everyone can buy a high-priced item. So with a scrappy budget and a lot of creativity, you can get to the forefront of media. This campaign not only raised a lot of money for charity, it also opened up new retail distribution channels for the client. In the end, it's all about selling product."
Secrets for success: Read on as Fite offers more tips and explains why this campaign won Bronze in Personality/Celebrity at the 2008 Bulldog Awards for Excellence in Media Relations and Publicity:
1. Broaden the story by diversifying your characters and angles to appeal to a wider audience. "Try to diversify," she says. "In this campaign, we tried to break out into different types of celebrities—actors, musicians, politicians, athletes and more—so that we could span all different kinds of sports and entertainment media. If you have that luxury, diversify to appeal to different kinds of consumers."
2. Conduct consistent, innovative measurement and evaluation to prove the power of PR to the C-suite. "Work with the client to set benchmarks," she stresses. "It's especially important to show movement on the website—so know how much traffic your client normally gets and keep track over time. We also tracked traditional media, with the goal of surpassing media coverage year over year. We showed a sizable jump. There was a following and people understood what we were doing. We were able to take all of the information and show the client that people were catching on."
3. Plan early, customize the campaign for participants and media—and have fun with it. "Be smart with customization," she says. "Especially with a small budget, you have to work that much harder to stand out. Start early and personalize the campaign. At the same time, make sure every step of the process is easy and enjoyable. The big secrets to success were making it turnkey and personalized. We provided the celebrities with supplies and customized the kits to make sure they felt it was unique."
In addition: "One thing we learned is that it's important to start early. We needed several months of lead time to secure interest from the celebrities, send them their ducks and get them back."

Red Fly/Blue Bottle
In Red Fly/Blue Bottle, Christina Campanella (music) and Stephanie Fleischman (words) have forged a mesmerizing fusion of performance art and multisensory installation. In their hallucinatory world, dialogue, music, archival video, and live video swirl together on a stage that stands as a striking and immediate visual allusion to Joseph Cornell's assemblages. Sectioned off with moveable scrim walls, the stage is filled with objects from old radios, record players, musical instruments and broadcasting equipment, to piles of suitcases and personal effects, around which the performers, be they singing, speaking, or playing an instrument deftly maneuver.
The story centers on two lovers (Jesse Hawley as Clarissa and Chris Lee as The Man) who begin the show together, but when a clock explodes, The Man, as if triggered by a post-hypnotic suggestion, leaves immediately for a secret war, for unknown parts and assignments, though it all has a distinctly Cold War-espionage air. Unsure where he went, or what will become of him, Clarissa is haunted by thoughts of him, and the audience catches glimpses of The Man stuck in a bare white cell, ostensibly under enemy capture, the two divided by time and space but conjoined in their thoughts of each other. The performers' lines spill off their lips like poetry , their disjointed thoughts and wonders about their fates forming the backbone of this surreal psychological piece that's a compelling meditation on time and the agonies of waiting for a reunion that may never come.

I just looked at the NFL news. Two of the headlines were: A.) Orton starting for Bears; and B.) Bengals close to bringing back Henry. Talk about Dumb and Dumber. But it got me thinking about the Chiefs' biggest personnel mistakes. For me, there's a lot of them, but almost nothing is worse than us trading back from a first-round pick to select Junior Siavii early in the second. At least Ryan Sims was highly touted. Even though I was only five, the drafting of Todd Blackledge over Dan Marino, Jim Kelly and John Elway, narrowly edges those gaffes out to take the cake. Starting Kris Wilson and Samie Parker for seasons–yes, plural, with an "S" at the end–also have to be up there. Kendrell Bell? Another owie that still burns bad.
Addicts, what do you think is the worst Chiefs' personnel decision of all time?

How to Hide or Remove Icons from the Mac Desktop
You can really clean up your Mac Desktop by hiding all the hard disk and drive icons that appear by default on it. Here's how to adjust what icons are visible:
- Click on the Finder menu and select Preferences
- Click on the General tab
- Uncheck boxes next to hard disks, drives, ipods, etc
Changes take effect immediately and your hard disk will immediately disappear (Note this doesn't really remove the icons in a deletion sense, it just hides them from being visually seen on the Desktop).
Any other icons you want cleared off the desktop you can simply just drag & drop them into another folder within your home directory, or elsewhere.
If you really want to have a clean and bare desktop, you can hide all desktop icons from ever appearing via the Mac OS command line.

Hey all,
We have just bought an HP P3005dn to replace the colour laser printer in our staff work area (cost of toner replacements being the main reason). It is installed and printing perfectly, except for the fact I can't seem to get it to Duplex print as default.
I have played about with the settings, and still nothing. Duplex is indicated as "ON" on the menu system, and through the web interface, but when altering the printing defaults on the server, it doesnt retain them. I even created my own profile, however I can't set that as the default one.
Any ideas?! PLEASE!!

Kathy Cassidy has her six year olds building digital portfolios and shows why and how. If my child was enrolling in school today, I'd ask to see some sample portfolios or where I could access them online. This is a hidden, little requested artifact that can probably tell you more about the progressiveness of a school than anything else!
I keep trying to find ways to implement technology within my classroom, but the lack of available computers and the super-strong web filtre always keeps me from doing it. I might try to find a way around these problems this summer.
My more professional, full-length blog that I have only recently begun updating again.
Oh, muffins! said she once kept a separate blog for her running, and had trouble keeping the two up so she blended them into one. I think I'm going to imitate her because I'm having the same issue. I have too many interests, and so I think I'm just going to dump them all into the same blog. Hope it works for me as well as it has worked for her!
One of the blogging platforms suggested for easy student blogging.
I follow this blog even though I do not teach at the elementary level. She has a good handle on using student blogs, and a few good resources at the end of the slideshow. Since it is something I am considering this year with my high school students, It was good information.

I got a noobish question about buff monitoring etc, maybe I just have had bad luck (or poor search skills) but I've been looking for ages for a simple addon that will just let me indicate that I'd like to be reminded when certain buffs fail (not just for my pally but for my lock, shaman, etc) and then, when the indicated buff(s) end, just do something as simple as popping up a big persistent 'HEY YOUR BUFF JUST ENDED' for 10 seconds or so... in other words, long enough for me to notice even in the midst of a hectic battle without picking it out of the sea of buff icons near my minimap, but not constant and irritating under situations where I may not actually care or have any ability to do anything about it (on a 10 minute griffon flight for example).
I know there's a bunch of addons that will do this sort of thing *in addition to* a lot of other stuff, but most of them are way more complex than I need. I can't imagine I'm the only person who has ever wanted something simple like this, so I guess the question is... does something like this already exist? I've considered just writing my own addon to deal with it, but I don't want to re-invent the wheel if I don't have to obviously. Anyways, thanks if anyone has any ideas on this!
Pyromelter said...
The problem with what you're asking is that those type of notifications are baked into a lot of different addons, most notably power auras and fortexorcist.
I actually track my self-buffs manually with classtimer, and I use a simplified setup of elkano's buff bars. You basically can't get just an "end of buff notification" addon. The simplest way to do that would be with power auras (and power auras is not a simple addon if you've never used it).
Satrina buff frame might do what you're asking too, but I'm a die-hard elkano's guy.

There are certainly some weird attitudes out there in PuG land... tanked my first heroic today with 3 other guildies and a rogue found via RDF. After the rogue found out it was our first time, he asked if we were 'Fresh lvl 85'. 0.o It boggled my mind! Cata has been out for less than a month, I'd say we're ALL still fresh 85s. xP Nevertheless, he was not a jerk, and gave us a few tips that helped the run go pretty smoothly. Hooray for +1 non-d-bag random dps! :D

You are in... Forums > Discuss This > MotoGP > Haven't we heard Hector Barbera's apology before?
MCN Sportsdesk says:
When Hector Barbera slammed into the back of Dani Pedrosa's factory Honda RC213V machine on the first lap of last Sunday's Misano MotoGP race, it was expected he would be full of remorse and apologetic for being the instigator of one of the defining moments of 2012.
So it was no surprise when the Pramac Ducati press statement highlighted Barbera's regret...

I completely agree with you, it bares no relevance where hector is going next year, at the moment he is riding a gp12. If he were riding a CRT the crash would never have happened, as he would have been to far down the grid to begin with in the first place.

''If he were riding a CRT the crash would never have happened, as he would have been to far down the grid to begin with in the first place.''
Hector was down with the CRT boys as was Dani. Dani had just gone underneath De Puniet (CRT rider) Barbera clipped De Puniet lost the front and went down collecting Dani in the process. Watch the replay.
Why should nobody mention CRT ?

As ive said before on a different post....dani was actually in the hunt for 06 title when he took haydenout. Barbara is Not a rookie AND he has, wont , and never will be in the title chase. The stupid effing moron thought he was racing pedrosa instead of merely being a moving pylon for pedrosa to negotiate. Stay out of the way of your MUCH betters you fucking idiot.!!!!!!! You have just ruined the most exciting title chase in years just because dani had the unbelievable bad luck to find himself near you on the track. Dani had passed dickhead an dickhead thought he was going to stick it up the inside in a gap that did not exist. It was the first lap for christs sake and dani was already up to 9th by the 6th corner. He would have podiumed for sure and the title fight would still be alive

Saying "dani was actually in the hunt for 06 title when he took hayden out" makes you look rather silly and let's everyone know you haven't a clue. Dani wasn't in the hunt for the title when he took Nicky out at all. Unless you count having Nicky, Val, Caprossi, and Melandri all crash out for the last 2 races as being in the hunt. He finished the season 5th for crying out loud. It was the 2nd to last race and Nicky could have actually wrapped up the title that round. 2006 was much worst for the simple fact that Dani took out his teammate - not just another competitor, in another team, riding for another manufacturer like this case. And unlike in 2006, Dani wasn't in a position to win the title last round as Hayden was when he was taken out. So once again, 2006 was worst. I can make a case that Dani taking out Nicky was the dumbest move in the history of motorsports let alone bike racing. And unlike Barbera there was no apology or any hint of remorse from Dani or even any acknowledgement that it was his fault. Actually I think Puig suggested it was Hayden's fault because he was lapping too slow. Yeah really. So fuck Pedrosa.

I seem to remember a certain J Brooks with a similar habit ! But look at the little shit now eh ?
Go back and look at numbers again. At estoril dani still had a mathematical chance...not a great one, granted but still. He finished 5th because a: he crashed in estoril and capirossi didnt, as we know, and b: both capirossi and hayden finished ahead of him at valencia. Look at the numbers before estoril not after valencia and you will see. Cheers

I agree with your little shit reference,but you say look at him now,suggesting you think he is doing well ?,to be honest he has faired ok this season and has failed to T bone anyone yet, but he has not been meteoric in his rise and I have to say BSB has not been the series it was this year,Cant put my finger on it but it just lacks that wow factor,But Brookes where is he heading,a former world supersport runner staying put in BSB ,not a Dynamic move surely
Don't get me wrong !as far as I'm concerned he stil a shit and agree with your comments . In my opinion the best future for him is to f@@k off back to the criminal continent and stay there for good!

Hi. I'm Allie.
If I had to explain myself in six words, those words would be "heroic, caring, alert and flammable." That's only four words. Oh well, I guess I should have thought of that before I started writing. Too late now.Hyperbole and a Half is a hybrid blog/Journal Comic by Allie Brosh. The journal and its attendant comics detail the life—past and present—of its writer, in a surreal, sketchy style. The humor is random, the stories even more so, and the comics, sketchy as they are, somehow have a distinct appeal.Read it here. Or click the link above. Either works. Also see the wiki here. Allie also created a forum where her readers could gather, though it has spun off into its own community only tangentially related, you can find it here.The blog also released a book in 2013, entitled Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened.

Insights from SUSS workshop on thin wafer handling at Semicon'West 2010
At the recent Semicon exhibition in San Francisco Suss assembled a group of partners and technical and market experts (shown below) to discuss the status of 3D IC and specifically temporary bonding and thin wafer handling.
During a panel Q&A session led by Dr. Garrou, ASE's Calvin Chueng indicated that TSMC will be driving the initial use of interposers and that ASE was on board. "We will need interposers to bond 28 nm low K die…right now it is impossible to stack such mechanically unstable materials into a stable 3D stack" He also sees graphics chip sets needing silicon interposers because they will require solutions where the power is not channeled through the memory. Cheung also sees interposers serving as a platform for integrated passive devices (IPD) which will allow decoupling caps to get closer to where they are needed.
Bob Lanzone indicated that Amkor has backed off their focus on backside TSV fabrication which Bob feels is well under control. They are now focusing heavily on the unit operations required to handle TSV middle wafers from foundries. He says that F2F (face-to-face) CoC (chip-on-chip) technology has been qualified with Cu/Sn IMC down to 40 µm pitch. Below 40 µm he feels Amkor will move to some form of direct Cu-Cu bonding.
ITRI Deputy Div Director Yu-Hua Chen announced that there is now a team of > 150 professionals fully engaged in 3D design, build and test. Their goal is to have their 300 mm 3D line qualified by the 4Q 2010. The ITRI roadmap now shows CPU + RAM stacking and memory stacking in the 2011 / 2012 in lock step with Taiwanese Foundries and OSATS such as TSMC, UMC and ASE.
Wilfried Bair detailed the process module options for their XBC300 temporary bond / debond tool which is compatible with Brewer (thermal slide), 3M (laser release), HD (laser release) and TMAT (mechanical release) bond/debond processes. He announced that their bonding chambers were now stackable to allow for smaller fab footprint. Bair indicated that they have major wafer and interposer programs underway with both IMEC and ITRI.
Chris Milsincic of HD Micro described their technology to use a combination of temporary ( HD 3007) and permanent (HD 7010) polyimide adhesives to avoid thin wafer handling in 3D processing. The full process flow is shown below. Laser ablation of the HD 3007 is used to remove the carrier wafer which results in a 30 sec debond time. Their throughput goal is 25 to 50 wafers/hr.
Blake Dronen of 3M described their 3D wafer support system. Their process flow which includes a laser release layer and a family of temporary adhesives which are stable from 180 to >250 C for one hour. The full process flow is shown below.
Dronen indicates that the process is in high volume production at multiple sites in Asia, Europe and the US and that installations have been qualified for 300mm TSV production by leading DRAM and Logic manufacturers.

By: Ella Metuki, Actor/Educator/Apple Arts Intern Extraordinaire
Sometimes all it takes to get a kid involved in Apple Arts is a few moments of specialized attention and help. Brianna is a sharp and funny eleven year old, who has been coming to Apple Arts for a while. She usually sits at the "teen table", where the art work often takes a back seat to talking about boys, school, favorite songs and all the other thing that occupy the mind of a teenage girl.
So when Brianna wasn't finishing up projects, or would just sit in front of an empty page for an hour, I assumed it was for lack of interest, and since she seemed happy enough just hanging out, I let it be. But a visit from my mother, A Speech and Language Therapist, sparked the notion that Brianna might actually be having a hard time planning how to use her time at Apple Arts, and how to go from her many great ideas to an actual kite, puppet show or dream journal.
The next week, as we started working on board games, I decided to sit down with Brianna and walk her through the process. Together, we made a list of her ideas, made a sketch for her game and a list of what we needed to do to create it. We sat together and drew the board game. A task which seemed so difficult at first became easy as I held the ruler, checked back in with the sketch, and asked some questions to help Brianna in finding the next step in creating her game.
The week after that, everyone wanted to play Brianna's game. She was able to easily explain the rules to everyone and had a lot of fun playing. I could see she was proud of having created that, and I was endlessly proud of her.

Of course there will always be people who think it's for publicity and nothing else. Blizzard had no idea that WoW would become as popular as it has. Not just the number of subscribers but the artwork, blogs, videos, etc.
The comic contest is a way to show off your talent much like the other contests. Look at the singers who do the covers of popular songs. Those people would never have become as popular as they are now without WoW. Of course they might have found another way to become noticed but the majority of the popularity is from WoW.
The short version is Blizzard genuinely cares about the artists.

A little girl from the U.K. owes her life to a team of doctors who wrapped her in ice for three days as a newborn by placing her tiny body in a special cooling bag and bringing her temperature from 98 degrees Fahrenheit down to 95.9 degrees Fahrenheit.
When Lily Cracknell's mom, Rebecca Hasler, was 36 weeks pregnant, she was diagnosed with preeclampsia. She was taken to the hospital and labor was induced immediately, but when Lily was born at 5 pounds, 13 ounces -- she struggled to breathe for 30 minutes.
At that point, out of fear of brain swelling due to lack of oxygen, doctors decided they needed to act quickly and bring her temperature down.
And after being put in an icy bag for three long days, baby Lily started to recover after her body temperature was warmed back up again.
Her mom says, "Doctors said it was a miracle she pulled through. She looked so small and helpless lying there in her cool bag. But we knew it was her only chance of survival."
OMG. Can you imagine how devastating it must have been for this woman to not only wonder whether or not her baby was going to survive -- but to have to sit there and see her tiny little body all wrapped up and shivering?
When I had my son seven years ago, like any mom -- all I wanted was to hold him in my arms and keep him warm and safe, so I can't even fathom how awful Rebecca's experience must have been. She must have felt so powerless, like there was nothing she could do but wait, hope, and pray that her precious baby would be ok.
All any parent wants is for their child to be born healthy, and it's just so horrible to think about anyone having to go through the first few days of their baby's life not knowing whether or not they'll ever take them home.
Thankfully, Rebecca got her happy ending and Lily has made a "strong recovery" despite being small for her age.
Rebecca says, "She may be tiny but she's a fighter. When we tell people that Lily was put in a cool bag, they can't believe it. Lily had a difficult start to life, but she is really making up for it now. She's boisterous and full of mischief. We're so grateful to the doctors for saving her."
Ahh. "Boisterous and full of mischief." If that's not music to any parent's ears, I really don't know what is.
What well wishes would you send to this mother and daughter?
Image via nerissa's ring/Flickr
I am so glad you posted a very postive post! I am so gald to hear mom and baby are doing well. These are the types of post most uf us like to see.
I know what the mom is going through. My son was in the hospital for 3 months with most of that time being on a ventilator and then an ECMO machine for 5 days. He got the RSV virus, and that turned into pneumonia, which killed him over 8 times. They revived him, of course, but I actually did lose my baby quite a few times. I also had to watch my baby almost die when I was 17 years old, to can you say traumatic? It's all good now though. I have a perfectly healthy 11 and a half year old now. :)
i can understand what this mom was going through. my daughter was 3 months early weighing at 13.5 oz and spent 4 months in the hospital then came home on oxygen after being hooked up to monitors now at the age of 2 full of life and a fighter. scary experiance and im glad she got to take her daughter home. my thoughts go to this mom on how her baby started out.
My son went through something similar. It was called a cold cap. They just placed it on his head to prevent brain damage from seizures. He is 4 yrs old now and doing great! :)
My due date was June 21, 2007, but due to complications my son was born May 18. Even though he was a month early he weighed in at 7lbs 14ozs but, he was not breathing when he was born(5 on the apgar scale). He struggled to breathe and eat for the longest 3 days of my life. Despite recovering from a c-section, I was at his side for every feeding. He is now a happy, healthy almost 6 year old. Enjoy every moment and take nothing for granted!

Pretty Good1 Reviews
A little Lani/Beatrix action.
"You're fairly good, did you know?"
A smirk, a blown kiss, and then Lani responds, "Yeah, you're pretty good too."
The fact of the matter is that Beatrix is very good.
Lani enjoys trailing along with Amarant whenever he decides to visit Alexandria (for whatever reason - usually to tease the monkey, sometimes just to get away from bounties), and this is why. Alexandria's General Beatrix.
At first, it was hard to get the other woman to go along with this whole thing. She didn't like the unusual, and didn't like the questions it would raise from the soldiers under her. But all Lani did was remind her that her soldiers were all too busy patrolling, guarding, or flirting with Pluto Knights to notice what their good Lady was doing.
So Beatrix caved after only two visits and now they spend all day together, sometimes leaking into the evenings and once, they even ended up staying up all night. Steiner had questioned what they were doing but the two just blew it off.
Beatrix's body is curved and graceful and every movement she makes is proof that her body is a well groomed machine.
Lani's is rougher, and some of her movements aren't quite as onetwothree as Beatrix's - more like one-two, three - but she's just as good.
Hell, she might just be better.
Every step is carefully timed on Beatrix's part - she parries and slices and ducks in a very carefully coordinated dance. Meanwhile, Lani's on the other side simply switching from offensive to defensive at random, timing her blows kind of but more or less letting her axe decide for her.
She likes the dungeons of Alexandria Castle best for their workouts, because as they move down the hall, blocking and returning and ducking, the drunks that Captain Steiner and his goons have locked up all cheer and the thieves enjoy taking bets on who will come out on top this time. Some of them have learned by now that there are no odds in this game, and so they kindly back out.
"You know," Beatrix sighs, with only the slightest pant in her voice from their already hour long session, "There might be a better place to do this."
"There might, sure," Lani responds, ducking a slash and adding, "Don't you like the boys and girls watching?"
"Not particularly," the General blocks a downwards stroke from Lani's axe, "I find it both distracting and a little obscene."
"We ain't being obscene!" a thief calls, waving two of his four arms.
"No comments from the peanut gallery!" Lani snaps, managing to slam her heel against the bars, rattling them. "You might want to get these things checked out. No telling when they might fall."
"Lani," Beatrix says finally, "Has Amarant ever told you that you take the part of a male very well?"
"Oh, all the time. Who do you think he got his masculinity from?"
A duck, an upwards throw, and Lani nearly knocks Beatrix down. The General responds by twisting and then jerking upwards. Save The Queen nearly guts the bounty huntress, who is forced into a kind of spin and ends up putting too much force into her axe. With a yelp, she's pulled backwards and the two tumble to the ground.
Lani's jaw knocks against Beatrix's thin cheekbone and they both groan in annoyance, drawing back. Beatrix stares up at Lani in confusion.
"I thought you were better than that," she chides.
"Hey, I'm still on top!" the bounty huntress responds, crossing her arms over her chest and crouching over the fallen General.
"I can assure you that's only temporary."
There's a catcall and then a drunk calls for some obscene favors.
Lani looks at Beatrix and then sighs. "Maybe you're right. There's gotta be a better place than this."
"There is," Beatrix responds, and the two stand, grab their weapons, and leave the thieves and drunks to wonder just where this better place is.

Canadian tuner, SR Auto Group, has a habit of releasing some of the most unique and impressive programs you'll ever see. Its latest work, which it worked on in collaboration with Openroad Scion, further solidifies that point.
Using a stock Scion FR-S , SR Auto Group decked it with a comprehensive aerodynamic body kit, giving it a new and far more imposing appearance that no standard FR-S can even come close to.
The car, which has since been rechristened as Rocket Bunny, is fully kitted, complete with wide-body fender flares, a new front lip, side skirts, a rear diffuser, and a large rear GT wing. But that's not all. It also has a couple Seibon parts in a new carbon-fiber hood and fog light covers. Carbon-fiber side mirrors from APR have all been added, as were bespoke smoked headlight housings and candy red taillight surroundings.
The final pieces of this stunning program include a set of 18-inch "Winning Blue" Rays Gram Lights 57 Extreme wheels, an Invidia catback exhaust system to further bolster the sports car's performance credentials and a set of fully adjustable BC Racing coilovers with a 10 kg (22-pound) spring rate.
While it doesn't have any straightforward performance enhancements, we can surmise that with the new exhaust, together with all those new aero kits, the Rocket Bunny FR-S has a little more roar to it than stock FR-S models.

Press Release
There's always a first for everything, and today we are proud to bring you Canada's very first Rocket Bunny Scion FRS. OpenRoad Scion approached us with an idea to create a mind blowing project that would skyrocket across the country. There was only one way we could make that happen, and it was to bring forth something Canada has never seen yet.
The Rocket Bunny kit is undoubtedly the most talked about adaptation of this pure driving machine as it features a complete widebody overhaul. With a mere 15km on the odometer, we sliced off the the rear quater panel and front fenders in preparation for the brand new fender flares. Along with the widened fenders, the kit also included a aerodynamic gt wing, front lip, sideskirts, and a rear diffuser. We've always believed in paying attention to all the details, which is why the headlights feature a bespoke smoked housing, and the emblems and tailights have a candy red coating. To complete the exterior we added some carbon fiber goodies, such as a Seibon hood, APR mirrors, and Seibon fog light covers.
Once the kit was installed, we then proceeded with our favorite part of the build; the suspension and wheels. To bring the car down to the ground, we installed a set of BC Racing coilovers which feature a custom 10kg spring rate. Since the coilovers were fully height and dampening adjustable, we were able to preciously calculate the best setup for the FRS. The wheels were courtesy of one of our favorite manufactures of all time, Rays. The 57Extreme model hails from Rays Gram Lights catalog and featured a staggered size of 18×9.5 and 18×10.5. The 'winning blue' finish was a perfect compliment to Scion's Firestorm Red exterior.
The final touch was an Invidia catback exhaust system, which aligned with the new rear diffuser perfectly. The exhaust created a strong driving experience, as it featured a low deep growl which was perfect in our ears.
We would like to thank OpenRoad Scion for choosing us to be apart of this amazing project. It was a pleasure working working with your team, and we look forward to the next project that we can collaborate on.
