First Annual Pipeline to a Cure Florida Event a Success

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug 03, 2011 - On Saturday July 31, 2011 the First Annual Pipeline for the Cure event was held in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. The event was organized by Florida residents and parents of two children with CF, Rob and Kri goverment technology sta Keller. The event was created to benefit those in the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in order to find a cure to a disease that affects children's lives all over the world. For those who do not know what Cystic Fibrosis is, it is a disease that causes mucus build-up in the lungs and makes it quite difficult for those with CF to breathe. Doctors have come to the tentative conclusion that the salt water of the ocean actually helps break up that mucus in the lungs and makes it easier for those with the disease to breathe. Surfing has become a way to get those affected out to the beach and into the salt water. Close to twenty sponsors united together to promote this cause to the best of their abilities, and each brought different donations and activities that made the day one nobody will ever forget. East Coast Paddle brought their long automobile news paddle boards for the participants to teach on and use all day long. Crosswav 2011 Chrysler 200 Convertible es Surfing Ministries set up their tent and lent their help in teaching the children how to surf as well as providing strength and hope to all those involved throughout t 2011 Dodge Durango R / T he day. Participants were privileged to be in presence of professional surf instructor Erie Peeples and his staff who came to be a part of the learning experience and lend their expertise on the art of surfing. Children were allowed to play in the water throughout the entire afternoon under supervision of the instructors. Sun Bum, DNA Energy Drinks, and Pipeline set up their tents as well providing sun tan lotion, surf boards, and cold beverages throughout the day as well as giving their time to such a great cause. Sponsors that also donated time, money and effort into this wonderful cause also include Korbin Burnsed Photography, Abbott Communications Group, Stuph Clothing, Tijuana Flats, David Maus, Quiksilver, Battery Tender, TS Racing, Ron Jon Surf Shop, Bashful Bliss, Big Dreamer, P1 Groupe, and of course Rob and Krista Keller who are also known as Team Keller. Providing lunch for the day's festivities were Beef O' Brady's and The Taco Shack. The Motorsports Marketing and Management Company P1 Groupe donated exciting beach games and their time to this wonderful event as well as giving all participants the privilege of meeting drivers Dion von Moltke, Bret Spaude and Tommy Milner. Von Moltke and Milner drive in the American Le Mans Series with Milner just winning the coveted 24 hours of Le Mans race in France. Spaude races in the GRAND-AM Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge Series. All took time out of their busy racing schedules to be a part of the glorious event.

"There is not a much better way to spend an off weekend from racing than surfing and when you combine that with a great cause like the CF Foundation, than it's almost a perfect weekend." Dion continues; "It was really nice to be able to work with the kids and see them enjoy life so much, and on top of that turn into some pretty good surfers!! The child I instructed, Tyler, was up and riding no problem on only his third wave!!!"

Spaude's comments on the weekend reached the same level of enthusiasm. "The Pipeline to a Cure event was awesome! I was very privileged to be a part of it. It is always very humbling to get out and help on events that is targeted towards kids and trying to help find a way to cure their illnesses. It was pretty cool to see forty to fifty surf boards with kids laying on them in the sand getting for their lessons and then to watch them all ride the waves at the same time. It was very neat."

The event was an overall amazing success. The day was dedicated to helping those with CF and to raise money and awareness to help find a cure to this horrible disease and those missions were achieved. Events such as these can be life changing, and they can make individuals stop and think about what truly matters in life and how they can make a difference in someone else's. The Pipeline to a Cure Florida event will become an annual occurrence in New Smyrna, and with an event like this the goal is to get bigger and better each and every year. There is no doubt that Rob and Krista Keller as well as all those who made this event possible will be working extremely hard this next year to come back with the best event possible because what is Pipeline to a Cure really all about, the kids.

There’s a New Sedan in Town and it’s Coming to “The Balancing Act” Courtesy of Suzuki

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug 02, 2011 - Contact:         Denise Kraft O2 Media, Inc. dkraft@o2mediainc.com (954) 691-1102

Auto manufacturer American Suzuki Motor Corporation recently completed their shoot for O2 Media's hit morning TV show "The Balancing Act."  The segment, which features company Advertising Manager Dianne Meloy, will air as goverment technology part of the show's "My Smart Shopper" series in August on Lifetime Television.  Meloy discusses the key features that potential car buyers should look for when shopping for a new vehicle.

From fuel efficiency and safety to advanced technological gadgetry, there's a lot to consider before making a decision, and that's where Suzuki really shines.  Their new Suzuki Kizashi manages to incorporate a wide variety of cutting-edge features for a surprisingly low price compared to other cars in its class.  This fun, sporty, mid-sized sedan has eight air bags, a highly responsive drive-train, and the same brand of brakes that bring Japanese "bullet" trains to a stop.  It also has all of the fun gadgets that you'd only expect to find in a luxury vehicle, like push-button entry, touch-screen navigation with back-up camera, Bluetooth capability, and power memory seats.

"The Suzuki Kizashi provides an enormous amount of luxury and design without an enormous price tag," Meloy s 2011 Chrysler 200 Convertible ays.  "You'll find features in the Kizashi that can be found in cars costing thousands more, like Audi and Mercedes.  We all like value these days and Kizashi delivers a great package for a nice price."

Moms who watch The Balancing Act will appreciate the Kizashi's folding rear seats and large trunk space that easily accommodate a stroller, groceries, and more.  There's also ISOFIX seatbelts that make it easy to use car seats, as well as back-seat air vents and controls for passenger comfort.  Combine that with a 7-year, 100,000-mile warranty, and Kizashi really begins to stand out – not only in its own bmw M5 specification class, but across the board when it comes to safety, style, and value.  The icing on the cake is that all of its features come standard, part of a stunning package that makes a bold statement both visually and experientially.

"I think The Balancing Act viewers will be interested to know that the Kizashi has a better overall safety rating than a Volvo," Meloy says.  "In fact, the car has achieved the highest crash safety ratings in front, rear, and side impact tests.  Now you can finally get a sleek, sporty, safe sedan without breaking the bank."

Subaru plant celebrates 2 millionth car milestone

PRLog (Press Release) – Aug 01, 2011 – Color was king Friday afternoon at a staging area outside the Subaru of Indiana Automotive Inc. plant in Lafayette.

While associates munched on red, white and blue frozen ice treats, a ruby red 2011 four-door Outback emerged from gray smoke that billowed around door S23 -- the 2 millionth Subaru vehicle produced at SIA.

"It took us 13 years to build the first million Subarus. And at our current rate of production, it should be less than seven years to build our next million Subarus," said Tom Easterday, SIA executive vice president, before the brand new O bmw M5 specification utback was showered with sparkling mineral water as associates cheered the car's arrival. "Well over half of all Subarus sold in the U.S. in the past two years were built right here."

Along with the SIA-made Legacy, Outback and Tribeca models, Subaru also sells Forester and Impreza models that are built in Japan.

Through the first six months of this year, Outback sales totaled 51,239. That's a 25 percent gain over the same period in 2010. Sales of the Legacy are up 12 percent during the same period, to 21,284 units. July sales reports are to be released Tuesday.

Dave Sullivan, director of industry analysis with AutoPacific Inc., an automotive marketing research and product consulting firm in Troy, Mich., said Subaru's success can be traced to its philosophy of remaining true to its brand and not trying to do anything outrageous.

"Subaru has long been a niche vehicle for a lot of consumers, and lately they've been experiencing some tremendous growth. It's kind of like people look at Subaru as being capable and efficient," Sullivan said.

"They have a lot of character and really stuck with all-wheel drive and versatility. first drive audi a6 Subaru is great for people looking to have a positive impact on the environment."

The 2 millionth Outback that was celebrated with cheers from associates Friday was driven by Bill Erdes, one of three employees in the car who have worked at the plant since 1988, before production started.

"It was a nice honor. I'm one of the oldest and most senior people," said Erdes, a supplier quality associate.

"I can remember watching the first Job 1 (Subaru) come off the assembly line. Two million seemed like such a long way off, but it's here. It's a great thing for Subaru and SIA. They have a great car, and people are buying it."

That first car, a 1990 Legacy that was produced Sept. 11, 1989, sat alongside the 2 millionth Outback during the ceremony.

"Over the course of these past 22 years, a total of nearly 3,430,000 vehicles were assembled at SIA, including 2 million Subarus," said Motokiyo Nomura, the company's president and chief executive officer.

"We could not have achieved this success without our teamwork. We need to keep reminding ourselves of safety first."

In the past, the SIA plant has turned out Isuzu pickups, Infiniti m hybird Rodeos, Amigos and Axioms, as well as the Honda Passport and Subaru Baja.

Along with the cur ni ssan GTR specification rent Subaru vehicles, SIA also is under contract to produce the Camry for Toyota.

Outback and Legacy models are shipped from Lafayette to more than 50 countries.

Motorcycle Permit Practice Test - What to Know Before Taking a Motorcycle Permit Practice Test

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 30, 2011 – Motorcycle Permit Practice Test, Florida's premier test driving site, is today announcing their D 2011 Infiniti m hybird Chevrolet Corvette Z06 MV license practice tests are now being offered for all 50 states covering regular driver's license, motor ni ssan GTR specification cycle, and CDL commercial driver's licenses.

The site, http://www.motorcyclepermitpracticetest.org, was set up to help people that are preparing to get their motorcycle license permit. "And the most convenient way to get your licence permit is via our online testing service site prior to taking the actual state test so as to help ensure that they pass the test the first time," Driver Questions' head classroom driver instructor, said Henry Rodgers.

'Nobody likes to fail a test, or to take an exam more than once, and that's where we come in - it's like giving you practice run before you make the actual run. With our assistance, you are guaranteed an edge over the state exam," he added.

Besides help to put you ahead of the license exam curve, motorcycle permit practice test comes quite affordable, and gives the user the breadth of knowledge and practice required to pass the state written driving exam. "It's all accessible online at any time, besides it keeps track of scores to allow the user to see the progress they are making on the exam," noted Henry.

motorcycle permit practice test was established several years ago when Henry's brother paid 3x, a driving school, what we charge for a sample DMV test and was given 10 sheets of paper that had been photocopied time and time again making the print barely readable and a portion of each line missing from the page.

"So we researched the driver's license testing and practice testing space, gathered the appropriate and necessary practice test questions for each of the categories we serve (motorcycle, CDL and regular driver's license), and put the practice testing service in place online," said 2011 Dodge Durango R / T Henry.
