Things to check out

FREE MAMMOGRAMS FOR WOMEN
The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "donating a mammogram" for free (pink window in the middle).

This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising.

"THE PRIZE WINNER OF DEFIANCE, OH"
Back in 2002, I was up at my local bookstore and picked up a book written by a San Francisco (and at that time Bernal Heights) author, Terry Ryan. The book, The Prize Winner of Defiance, OHwas one that I read in one sitting and loved from the start. I won't spoil anything for you, but it really is a testament to the perseverance and faith in the world of one woman for herself and her family. The movie will be coming out sometime within the next month and you can check it out or watch a trailer here at the movie's website.
