Cool & Informative Links

Wow! Get a load of what's down there! (Our cats Karma and Zen)


















If you’re a regular and see a post of links, you guessed right – I’m too busy to blog. It’s spring break and I have an active eight year old boy on my hands. We’re accomplishing the mundane like household chores and computer gaming (I’ll let you guess who’s doing which!) A decent blog entry is impossible to write with a precocious and talkative kid around.

But I assure you, these links are worth your time. Hope you enjoy!

Get Motivated for 2008

Did you know that there are 21 million Americans with a physical disability? Shockingly, less than 10-percent of them participate in daily physical activity. Nike and U.S. Paralympics want to identify and increase the number of persons with physical disabilities active in sport by making them aware of Paralympic organizations in their community.

Please join us in distributing the attached web-link - www.usparalympics.org. The link includes the recent Nike ad, which features Paralympian and wheelchair basketball player Matt Scott. By sharing this link with your friends, business associates, parents, athletes and supporters, we hope to expand awareness about the opportunities to be active, healthy and make a difference in the lives of thousands of physically disabled people.

Amazing awaits! From The National Center on Physical Activity and Disability

Oscar Pistorius Should Be 'Pisted' Off - And So Should Every Other Disabled Athlete!

This man comes back from unbelievable odds to becomes a world class athlete and what happens? The 'normal' people ban him from the Olympics -regular not 'special' Olympics - because his artificial legs give him an advantage? Give me a break! And why am I not surprised. It takes MORE guts and focus for us 'special' or 'disabled' or 'handicapped' people to do half of what 'normal' people do by ACCIDENT. You 'normal' people should be ashamed.
Paralympian banned from Beijing Olympics

South African Paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius will not be allowed to compete at this year's Beijing Olympics.

The International Association of Athletics Federations has banned him from all competitions involving able bodied runners, saying his prosthetics gave him an unfair advantage.

Pistorius runs with carbon fibre blades attached to his legs.

When the man they call the blade runner started smashing world records in Paralympics events, it became clear that not only could he run faster than disabled athletes, but he could also beat many able bodied runners as well.

Now the IAAF has endorsed the findings of German academic Gert-Peter Bruggeman who conducted tests on the prosthetic limbs and said they gave Pistorius a clear competitive advantage over able bodied runners.

Pistorius was born without fibulas, the bone between the knee and the ankle, and both his legs were amputated when he was 11-months-old. He has already said he will appeal against any adverse decision by the IAAF.
