Midsummers delight

Forget about the 58 pilot whales beaching themselves in New Zealand. Forget about the oil plumes and the floods and super smart serial killers.

Let's try to enjoy ourselves.

If you've got a solider coming home due to the draw down in Iraq, give him/her a big kiss from us. It's time to show them we love them and welcome them back to the good times in America.

Barnes and Noble is still up for sale. No takers. With todays stock price of around $15 bucks, you can own the entire company for 930.5 Million. Amazing.

We're starting to get feedback from review copies of "101 Dirty Hot Hotel Stories" sent out in March of this year. Wow does the book world take a long time to get things rolling.

Thinking of a new logo.

We've also had some talks with a young lady who has been going through the whole custody battle thing with her babies daddy and she wants to write a fun and lighthearted and sexy book about how to play to win in the child custody game.

We're currently reviewing and publishing at will.

Flood & After Flood

Pensacola Beach Daily Report August 19 2010 - Tarballs - No Warning Signs

Why won't anyone help Pakistan?

So for three horrible weeks, the country of Pakistan has been engulfed by horrible rains that have either washed away entire villages or flooded them. This storm has increased the size of the river 10 fold. Imagine that happening to the Mississippi. Wowzers!

Why won't the international community send aid as they have in Haiti and before with Katrina? Could it be that Pakistan needs a public relations make-over? or is it because the world is mired in a recession and can't afford to send much? or is it that the floods are so bad they can't just leave the aid packages in the middle of the river.

We're all humans. We ask that you share your opinion with us.

If you're thinking of donating, we like to donate to Doctors Without Borders. You can be sure they will be there to treat the cholera outbreak.

Let's hope these 3rd world countries can use the money to invest in infrastructure so that something even remotely like this does not happen again.

Think we might just push the rest of the projects towards the end of the year. Maybe all New Year 2011 Releases. We've already got 8 or 9 releases and nothing is getting it's proper advertising spotlight.

We really need to get it together over here.

We also want everyone to know that we love your support, and that the "Give to the Gulf" Program generated $10 to give to worthy organizations in the gulf. So you do the math. We sold 10 books in July and 2 were .99, but we still gave $1. Wahoooooo!

We're giving $10 to the National Wildlife Federation for July and August is going to "Save the Gulf" effort.

Thanks again everyone and please read an Ebook and give to the gulf at the same time!

Pensacola Beach Daily Report August 4 2010

Big August

Don't be afraid to work for a living, sometimes no one wants to pay for your art.

On the upside. They finally put a "Static Kill" on the well. That means that the oil has stopped flowing up because they have introduced a heavy mud substance into the well. It's a major milestone. Finally we're able to stop all that oil from flowing into the gulf. It's been since April 20th. I hate that day. First Columbine, now this. 4.9 Million barrels (205.8 Million Gallons) of oil have come out of the well till it was capped on July 15th and surface ships started the siphoning.

To put it in perspective with Human Oil Production Disasters, the blowout in the Bay of Campeche off the coast of Mexico resulted in 140 million gallons in 1979

The worst ever oil spill was intentional by the Iraqis in the first gulf war in 1991 when they released 240 million gallons into the Persian Gulf.

Let's hope the Government report that boasts 74% of the oil that leaked from the well has been collected, dispersed or evaporated is true. We'll keep checking in with our man on the ground in Pensacola and bring his good videos to ya!

The final "Kill-Kill" Well that will put cement in the well as an insurance policy that it will never be used again will happen in about 7-10 days. Let's all hope we can get on with the summer now.
