LinkedIN Announces New Feature ‘Company Follow’
April 29, 2010
Not only is LinkedIN a great tool to use when looking to connect with people in your niche, join groups and discussions with similar companies and interests, but now you can keep updated with companies that you are potentially interested in working with. Today LinkedIN announced their new feature company follow, which in my pe
rsonal opinion is very useful. Starting today you have the ability to keep updated with new developments, business, and job opportunities by following the companies that appeal to you with one simple click.
With the new “Follow Company” option, you will be among the first to learn about new opportunities that just opened up in companies like Disney World, ABC News, or even smaller organizations listed in your area. By following the company of your choice you will get notifications about when a employee leaves, joins, or gets promoted, receive company profile updates, and new job opportunities!
Check out what this new feature has to offer by going to a company profile of your choice and clicking on the “Follow Company” button to the left of their page and wa-la! It’s that easy!

The Warrior Dash: Are You A Warrior too?
April 29, 2010
“The craziest frickin’ day of your life! A fire leaping, mud crawling, beer drinking run from hell.”
Count me in!
Now honestly.. who wasn’t hooked by just those two simple sentences? That’s right! For the first time Warrior Dash has made it’s rounds to the Northeast and I am ecstatic to announce that this gal right here will be participating in Septembers festivities! Who will be joining me?
Here’s the deal, months ago I took a look at Warrior Dash and realized that this is something that I definitely DO NOT 
want to miss. I figured that the 5k being in September and it only being January, I had plenty of time to register and not have to worry about a thing. WRONG! A few of my friends and I were discussing the race a few weeks ago and out of curiosity I wanted to see when registration was going to start. To my surprise registration had not only started but almost every single dash was filled and there were only 3 slots left! Seemed like a pretty good opportunity to jump on the horse since I knew I was serious about partaking in the event. So if you are a warrior fighting for the ultimate Flava Flave steel helmet, who also thinks you have some time to buy before you register… you might want to think again…
Looking to save a little dough? Not a problem! If and when you do register type in the promo code CANYON and receive $5 off the registration fee. Worked like a charm for me when I registered for the Northeast region and according to Warrior Dash Facebook Discussion Forum the code seems to be working well for other areas.
With such an intense 3.23 hellish miles on the way I definitely need to start training! Starting tomorrow I will be hitting the gym harder then I ever have preparing for the big day! My daughter and I will be traveling around the area and playing in every which playground that has the most equipment, so be on the look out for a crazy lady going nuts on the monkey bars! This training technique was highly recommended by Denver’s Personal Training Examiner, Jonathan Sabar. I will do just about anything to dominate this race!
Are you or someone you know attending the Northeast Region or any Warrior Dash event in your area? How have you been training for the big day? What are you looking forward to the most, crawling underneath barbed wire in sloppy mud, running through the fire, perhaps the ice cold brewsky waiting for you at the finish line?
Good Luck to all you Warriors out there! I look forward to seeing you there!
