Dave Denniston, Age 26, Was Injured on February 6th in a Sledding Accident Near Laramie, Wyoming, that Has Left Him Without the Use of His Legs.

Fort Collins, CO (PRWEB) February 17, 2005

Dave’s parents report that his famous sense of humor and his unfailing strength of character are still “very much intact.”

Dave, a graduate of Auburn University and 1999 NCAA Champion in the 200 breaststroke, was also a member of the 2003 US World Championship team. As an Irvine Novaquatics star, he placed 4th in the 100 breast and 6th in the 200 breast at last summer’s US Olympic Trials.

Dave has been accepted to the Craig Rehabilitation Hospital in Denver, and should be transferred next week. They are on top of spinal-cord-injury research there, but if you have information on any spinal-injury research programs or rehab programs, please contact Dave and his family immediately. You can correspond through a new website: http://www.davedenniston.com

Dave’s family and friends have been working hard this week to find ways to channel the worldwide outpouring of concern and support for Dave. Here’s how you can help.

1. Help by being part of Dave’s support network. If you have any way of helping, from prayers to financial to day-to-day work, please become part of the group.

2. Visit Dave’s website and urge others to visit. http://www.davedenniston.com has been established as a clearinghouse where you can send messages to Dave, get updates on his status, and receive replies from Dave as well as a good dose of his humor. There will be photos, a calendar of Dave’s visitors, and news of some cool “Dave Stuff” that is already in the works.

3. Make a donation. Dave needs your financial support! He faces enormous expenses during the lengthy rehab process. Dave’s family has established a fund — The Dave Denniston Fund – and you can make a tax-deductible contribution that will directly benefit Dave’s medical care. Details can be found at http://www.davedenniston.com.

4. Buy his videos. GoSwim.tv has announced that, retroactive to January 1, 2005, all profits from the sale of Dave’s three videos will go directly to Dave’s foundation. If you haven’t seen Dave in Go Swim Breaststroke, Go Swim Breaststroke Turns & Pullouts, and Go Swim Breaststroke Drills, you are missing a glimpse of true mastery. Check them out at http://www.goswim.tv.

5. Continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

How to Find your Valentine in 3 Days or Less Using the Internet

(PRWEB) February 16, 2001

Traditional means of meeting a mate do not seem to be as lucrative as they used to. Because of the proliferation of computers more people are turning to the Internet to leverage their search for love.

Traffic statistics show that most Internet traffic occurs around eating-time indicating populating are doing other things too work. Aside from spending more time in front of a computer here are other reasons why populating are turning to the ‘Net for their Valentine.

1.    We are spending more time at work

2.    We are waiting for people to approach us

3.    We practice being unapproachable by giving the “wrong signals”

4.    We are spending more time in front of TV

5.    Using telephone personal ads leaves lot to the imagination

The ‘Net is a natural meeting place. It was designed for the purpose of sharing information. Personals sites are sites that are created to allow people to place advertisements on themselves including a picture, accept responses and reply to other ads. Lance of http://www.lance-romance.com says, “The greatest benefit is that internet personal ads have an element of safety built in.” By opening a line of communication you get to know them from a distance before deciding if you would like to meet them in person. Unlike their predecessor, telephone personals, you can usually view a picture of the person that created the ad, communicate with them as much as you want for free (telephone ads charge per call or message), speed your search by searching the database for your perfect match.

Here are 5 steps to finding a Valentine in 3 days:

1.    Find a singling site with lots of traffic. Try http://www.lance-romance.com for the largest selection of personal ads on the Internet or OneandOnly . For something spicier” try AltMatch .

2.    Scan a picture of yourself. This increase your chances of your ad being responded to. If you do not know how to do this or have the equipment go to a photocopy/business services shop and have them do it for you. Very inexpensive. Make sure your picture is clear and flattering. Ask your friends to pick the best of a bunch.

3.    Write an ad that describes your-self. Also, describe the person you are looking for. Do not be afraid to include requirements that will exclude people. You want to save time by focusing your seek.

4.    Fast-forward the process by finding people you are interesting in and responding to their ad. Open a line of communication in your message or gently guide them to your own ad.

5.    If you respond to ads be ‘Non-jeopardizing.’ Do not be crude. You want to open lines of communication, not shut them down. Asking questions about their preferences or social tastes is the best method.

New ads are usually placed in order from newest to oldest. You will receive responses very soon. You may get the odd unusual response. Do not let this discourage you. Consider the alternative. To keep your personal ad at the top of the list make revisions oftentimes.

There is no shame in creating an online personal ad. It is simply the best tool for finding people that are receptive to meeting you and is a grow trend amongst young and upwardly mobile professionals. It is a safe alternative to the cheesy singles bar and is already being ill-used by millions.

Lance-Romance.com is an experienced bachelor dedicated to getting you more romance. His site is full of costless articles, resources and tips on flirting, romance and the largest personals section on the Internet and is growing everyday. He can be emailed at lance@lance-romance.com .

More than 85% of students said these communications played a key role in their decision.     Fewer than 26% of students say advertising of all types – online, TV, and radio – played a role in their college research and admissions process.     Students’ biggest complaint about the admission experience is the inability to seeing schools outside of their geographic area – 57% of students cited this as a frustration. More students cited this gripe than the students who cited competitiveness of getting into school or even preparing for the SAT. Today’s College Applicants Spend 12 Hours Per Week Online
The CollegeWeekLive.com survey also asked students about how much time they spent with various forms of media. The responses show a clear preference for the Internet – one that is increasing year after year.
    Students say they spend on average 12.1 hours per week on the Internet – far greater than any other media.     TV and radio are the media that are a distant second to the Internet. Students say they spend 6.1 hours per week watching TV and 5.8 hours per week listening to the radio.     Students say they spend only 2.4 hours per week reading mail, and 2.2 hours per week reading magazines.     The movement online is increasing each year.

In telling the Class of 2009 say they spend 2.8 hours per week reading mail, for example — while the Class of 2010 say they pass 1.94 hours per week reading email – about a 30% decrease. Younger Students Have Even More Interest in Live, Online Interaction – and Less Interest in Paper

In a separate part of the survey, CollegeWeekLive.com asked students for comments about how the college admissions process could be improved. The comments revealed a frustration with paper communication and more preference for online communications:

“Use the internet to promote. It’s easier, takes up no paper, and students won’t have to bother with the multitude of brochures from unsolicited schools.”

“Brochures and books from colleges should be eliminated and most interaction with the prospective student and the college should be done online in order to cut down on the use of paper.”

“STOP SENDING JUNK MAIL!!!!!”
