The first annual BULA One Love Celebration
We are working with Sione Po’uha and others to promote the following Fourth of July Celebration:
**************
Free July 4th Concert and Fireworks Show at Liberty Park Announced
Reggae legend The Wailers to headline the BULA One Love Celebration
Salt Lake City – A new, free Fourth of July concert and fireworks show will take place in Salt Lake City this year at Liberty Park. The first annual BULA One Love Celebration, a free music and fireworks event at Liberty Park will be held Monday, July 4, 2011 from 2:00-10:00 p.m. The event is anticipated to become the premier annual Fourth of July celebration in Salt Lake City for all ages to enjoy.
The BULA One Love Celebration is presented by Bula Beverage, a Salt Lake based company that is the brainchild of NFL athlete and Utah resident Sione Po’uha, a one-time Ute football player currently a defensive tackle for the New York Jets, who is sponsoring and hosting the event.
“I am a son of this great city and state” said Po’uha, who grew up near Liberty Park and went on to play football at East High School and the University of Utah.
“From this community I’ve learned so many of life’s lessons, I can remember Liberty Park being the place for me to play, run and enjoy throughout my whole life. This celebration is my way of saying thank you to a place where my roots are firm and strong, let’s celebrate.”
“Bula” is a greeting used in Fiji, similar to the Hawaiian word, “aloha.” Bula means “life,” and is a way of wishing peace, good health and good fortune.
BULA One Love Celebration will be headlined by the legendary roots reggae band The Wailers, founded by the late Bob Marley. The musical lineup also includes world music acts Gramps Morgan, Sons of Manasseh, and local favorites Cubworld and Rebel Zion.

ABOUT BULA BEVERAGE

Using hints of Kavaroot, Valerian root, Rose Hip, and B Vitamins, Bula more than just a relaxing drink, Bula is a lifestyle. A relaxed lifestyle.

Random repost from my inbox
Here is an old nugget of info for email marketing campaigns, I happened upon it just today and I think it was … how do you say it … kismet (?) as we have been discussing reorganizing our e-newsletter as well as our launch date/time.
***
Content sharing site Gather recently posted an excellent summary of the latest thinking on when to send your email blasts:
• Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays are all optimal days to send emails because people have organized their work week and email inboxes.
• Every day has its pros and cons. You should decide on the best time and day depending on your circumstances.
• Monday pros and cons: Pro: After the weekend, many people make it a priority to organize their inboxes. Con: They erase many emails to get organized.
• Best approach for Mondays: Late in the morning just before lunch, when people have time to check their inboxes and have already cleaned out their weekend dumps.
• Tuesday pros and cons: Pro: People have organized their work week and have time to check their inboxes. Con: It’s too early to send campaigns geared to trigger action on the weekend.
• Best approach for Tuesdays: Campaigns that aim for recipients to take action during the week.
• Wednesday and Thursday pros and cons: Pros: More time for emails. Planning for the weekend. Cons: Only 2 days left in the work week, and no time left for emails.
• Best approach for Wednesday, Thursday: Keep your messages lighter and not as pushy.
• Friday pros and cons: Pro: There’s not as much email in their inbox. Con: Many people are so busy they don’t check emails on Friday.
• Weekends: Pros: Very little email is sent on weekends, but people do read their emails. Cons: Can look like you’re too pushy and intrusive.
• Best approach for weekends: Don’t send any, unless your message will be most valued if received on weekends.
So there you have it, keep those boxes of incoming mail clean for the weekends!

NaNoWriMo – updates
Well here we have it, about halfway through the NaNoWriMO, while I trail by a lone missed day at this point, I still need to get caught up before the November 30th deadline.
For those of you not in the know… NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month – the challenge to put down 50,000 words in 30 days, essentially putting you on the path to starting (or finishing) that special novel you’ve always had in your head.
It has been a few years since I had wanted to jump on this, while I’m not exactly sure what it was that got my motor running this season, it has been a worthwhile experience for me to undertake. After I’ve gone through a few more hurdles, I will begin posting the initial rough draft of this novel in progress. (warning: it will be a rough draft with NO grammar or spelling checks completed at this time.)
(*warning #2: it is a horror novel with some graphic violence.)
Okay, time to start writing again!

Jazzbot finalists – unofficial
Those that follow the Jazzbot blogger process on UtahJazz360.com will know that every season we hold a writing contest for new official Utah Jazz Fan Bloggers – this year’s coming 2 months later than the norm due to us using a new backend and overall approach to the fan site and experience.
Well, we sorted to 95 blog entries and knocked them down to a final list of 30 potential suitors, here are the links in order of my fave to least fave (I am going to be lazy initially and NOT hyperlink them all as I have much work to do still, perhaps later, until then copy and paste the link into your browser and tell me which ones you hate, like, and feel warm and/or fuzzy about):

Egg Shen, Chinese Black Magic
Totally random, I like to watch movies while I do cardio and happened to be watching Big Trouble in Little China so I thought I should share this one scene I found on YouTube.
At the tail end of this sequence Jack Burton is about to get flattened by an evil warrior of mythical proportion, will he survive?
