Bio:

Voice Media was originally The Longmont Voice. Voice Media is a new is a

new publication that was first developed by an idea that Sarah had when we were

talking one day. She said that she thought that there was too much negativity in

newspapers. I was looking into an opportunity with a publisher who was looking for

a manager. They said that they developed local publications for homeowner associa-

tion neighborhoods that were in an upper class community. I asked why they chose

select neighborhoods and was told that it would be easier to obtain advertisers be-

cause you would be marketing to well off neighborhoods.

I disagreed with this logic because I felt that it was profiling people and was

not the type of ethics I wanted to use. After thinking about what Sarah said and this

job opportunity, I decided to merge the two ideas together. What if we established a

magazine that was local and provided a positive voice for the community? The idea

sounded great.

I personally have been self-employed for some time working in computer

programming, design, online marketing as well as business branding and consulta-

tion. I have also done animation and visual effects. I had all of the programs for mak-

ing the publication digital, as well as the know-how of how to make a digital maga-

zine successful as I have consulted and worked with print magazines on how to go

digital. This was how The Longmont Voice was developed. We put ideas together and

when we were finally ready, we launched the announcement that The Longmont

Voice was going to come into existence.

I am a business owner and have been for years. Sarah and I both own business-

es together besides The Longmont Voice and we know how expensive advertising and

marketing is. This is why we have made the Longmont Voice business friendly in our

advertising within this publication. Two people run this entire operation along with

many other operations that we run.

So get involved with Voice Media. Send us your articles. Let us know

something good and we will publicize it for you for free. Whether it’s a birthday, an-

nouncement or you just had something really good that you wanted to share. This is

your magazine America.

Sincerely, Voice Media

Virtual Live Trainer™ is a product that is long overdue that was created by Personal Trainer Plans. We say

long overdue, because with the rapid technology of apps and programs that are developed for mobile devic-

es, they begin to blur together. One thing that lacks these programs and apps is the human touch. What do

we mean by that? A app or computer program cannot be programmed to create a solution regarding health

and goals without being very similar to serve the masses. Yes you can create it to make a fixed solution to a

certain degree based upon the users input, but a team of people cannot cover every scenario to accommodate

every type of person or situation out there.

This is where Virtual Live Trainer™ is different. The user inputs their data and any special information ac-

commodating their unique situation and a live person creates not only a custom workout plan but also a nu-

trition program. Not only do you have a certified and insured personal trainer to direct your program, but

there is also unlimited e-mail support that you can have via e-mail. So you are not limited to the amount of

questions that you may ask or have your workout customized.

The only thing better than this new customized program is the price tag. For only $25 a month you can uti-

lize this great program Virtual Live Trainer™ with no contracts.

“We created Virtual Live Trainer™ to be a affordable and customizable solution that is going to accommo-

date any person and not have them pay too much,” says Kenny Phair the CEO and owner of Virtual Live

Trainer™ program. “Not only is this affordable, but this is much safer than following apps or online pro-

grams that may not necessarily take into account special needs or give you that nutritional information to

accommodate your workout program.”

Health programs are in a huge demand, but Virtual Live Trainer™ is a unique program that offers a solution that is easy and affordable. In order to sign up you need to www.PersonalTrainerPlans.com and to sign up. There are no contracts or long term commitments.

Make your front porch into a bat cave by hanging construction paper bats.

Create scarecrows—use a broom—handle down into the ground, make a face using construction paper and glue it to the straw part of the broom. Now pick out some clothes for the scarecrow

and use a coat hanger around the neck of the broom where the straw meets the handle than hang your clothes on it.

Make sock ghost centerpieces—use your mismatched socks and old jars or pringles cans. Put the sock over the jar or can, add eyes, and mouth using a black marker.

Make ghost and goblins—use a empty milk gallon milk jug. Draw eyes and mouth, cut a hole in the back and put clear light in or use battery powered tea lights.

Don’t forget to crave your pumpkins and put tea light candles in them.

Shula’s steakhouse has several locations, but one thing they all share in common is their great taste. Not only can you join the

Shula’s Club and enjoy a free entrée on your birthday, but they are also known for their legendary 48 oz. steak challenge that

was featured on Man vs. Food. Yes this steak challenge which was filmed in Miami, FL. Is to eat a 48 oz. steak in under 20

minutes. If you do not feel up to the challenge however, do not fear, there is other food there to eat. Besides their 8-48 oz.

steaks you can also find year round lobster and shrimp appetizers. Also do not forget to go their when they have their seasonal

stone crabs and be ready to dish out the seafood as their lineup of appetizers encompasses the seas delight. You can also

choose form house salads as well as some great pies and cakes. Although the price tag is not the cheapest in the industry, pay-

ing around $50 a plate is well worth it at Shula’s.

Cats and dogs are different animals; however they do share one thing in common. These are pet tips and

tricks to keep your pet healthy as well as being a responsible pet owner.

1. The most vital thing you can do for your pet is to keep up with consistent checkups. Pets need check-

ups as much as humans do.

2. Spaying and neutering your pet has always been something that has been urged by not only profes-

sional associations, but also by pet owners to make sure that we control populations of cats and

dogs. We would like to bring to light that there are many organizations that offer free spaying and

neutering of pets.

3. One thing that may be overlooked by pet owners is protecting your pets from parasites. Now you can

do this with drops. Here at Voice Media Partners we use Hertz drops for our cats as well as maintain

a flea collar for double protection. Parasites will not only shorten your pets life, but it also creates a

unhealthy environment for you and your family with such parasites as deer ticks that can spread to

humans.

4. Just like we need to eat in portions and watch our diet, so do our pets. So be sure to give them prop-

er portion sizes and get food that is nutritionally balanced and not just cheap.

5. You may not realize it, but just like humans, pets need stimulation too. Playing with your pet and

keeping their mind engaged is great. You can find games, play with them or take them outside. There

are many toys that stimulate pets as well as pet television to keep them engaged and stimulate their

brains.

6. Do not forget your pet’s hygiene. Bathes, dental care, nail care and checking their ears from time to

time are not only great for your pet, but it helps build a stronger bond between the owner and the

pet.

As you can see, dogs and cats have a lot in common. So whether you are a dog owner, a cat owner, or

you own both, these tips will help you to not only ensure a higher quality of life for your pet, but also

help them live a longer one.

sockets look shrunken in (make the middle

and inside corners of the eyes darker). Next,

and drip blood down from that. Next get your mouth bloody by pouring fake blood in your hand and eat it (the

eatable kind) and let it drip down your chin and throat. To get a better blood effect let first coat dry for 10

minutes and do it all over again. Remember dark blood is the key. Make sure you get the blood on your costume.

Step four: to make your zombie costume. Fir st, go roll around in the dir t, make some mud, and roll it.

Next rip holes into your costume.

Step five: have fun acting like a zombie while you par ty or tr ick or treat. Make sure you are slow, stiff,

can’t talk well, and crave human flesh (especially the brain).

How to carve a Halloween pumpkin: Step 1: Select a fresh pumpkin. Step 2: Draw a circle or hexagon on top of the pumpkin. Make sure it is large enough for your hand to reach through.

Step 3: Cut through the stem end of the pumpkin along your outline with a sharp knife or pumpkin-carving tool. (Children may need help from an adult for any of the cutting parts.)

Step 4: Remove the cap, making sure you scrape off any seeds or pulp.

Step 5: Use a large spoon or your hands to scoop out the seeds and pulp from inside the pumpkin.

Step 6: Using a black marker draw a face on the front of your pumpkin. All face parts need to be big enough to cut out with a knife. (Children will need help with this part.)

Step 7: Push the cut-out features gently from the inside of the pumpkin and discard the pieces.
