The Memorable Beers app for iPhone keeps track of your favorite brews

Memorable BeersPRLog (Press Release) – Jul 26, 2011 – Memorable Beers is a new app for iPhone and iPod touch that is designed specifically for the beer lover who wants to remember and share the best beers they experience. This stylish app is designed to make it easy and fast for beer lovers to create memory-jogging records of their beers while dining out, at a brewery or beer festival, or at home.

The secret of this speedy app is the way it reduces the need for tedious finger typing on a small screen. Using a clever combination of photos, voice memos, checkboxes, and single-tap “quick notes,” users can make a beer record in seconds. The ability to edit beer records later satisfies the thorough type who may want to add tasting notes, website links and such. Either way, the app creates a list of favorite beers that are searchable and sortable by style. For those who like to share, emailing a favorite beer to friends and family is easy, and including the photo and voice memo can be fun. Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr sharing are built in which makes it easy to post a beer recommendation to your online friends or followers.

Without complex features that get in the way, Memorable Beers lets everyone from beer beginners to craft brewers capture as many or as few details as they want, create a personal list of favorite beers and share them with the world.

Peters Kimmerly Design Associates develops and designs for print, web and iOS with an emphasis on elegant esthetics, simplicity, utility and above all empathy for the audience.

Ourisman Chantilly Toyota Stocks Cars.com Top American-Made Vehicle

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 27, 2011 – A consistent favorite among midsize family sedans, Ourisman Chantilly Toyota, a Virginia Toyota dealership, is proud to announce that the 2011 Toyota Camry was recently ranked as the top American-made vehicle in the Cars.com American-Made Index.

The annual American-Made Index ranks vehicles based on percentage of the vehicle’s parts manufactured in the U.S., where the vehicles are actually manufactured, and how many vehicle units are sold to U.S. customers.

Patrick Olsen, editor-in-chief of Cars.com, is not surprised to see the Toyota Camry take top honors for the third consecutive year. He states, “The Camry remains an incredibly popular vehicle, and higher total sales require a higher number of U.S. factory workers and a larger number of U.S. suppliers—all of which contribute to Toyota’s ranking.”

The 2011 Toyota Camry comes with all of the necessary elements to ensure a comfortable, smooth, and safe ride, whether drivers are embarking on their daily commute, shuttling kids to after-school events, or taking a road trip to see family. Drivers get their choice of a 2.5-liter, inline-4 engine or a 268-horsepower V6 engine, which Edmunds.com describes as best in class. Regardless of the engine choice, both provide smooth, powerful ride and achieve fuel economy—up to 33 mpg highway.

Inside the Toyota Camry, drivers and passengers ride comfortably thanks to high-quality upholstery and ergonomically-designed seats. Convenience extras like satellite radio, Bluetooth connectivity, keyless entry, automatic dual-zone climate control, and more make the Camry experience even more enjoyable.

Generous safety features such as antilock brakes with brake assist, front-seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags, driver’s side knee airbags, and stability control, ensure the safety of Toyota Camry drivers and passengers no matter where they are going.

“How Do I Find My Soul’s Purpose” on August 2 “Why Shamanism Now?” with Christina Pratt

On "Why Shamanism Now?”, host Christina Pratt talks about what we can do to bring ourselves in touch with our passion, and in turn, with our soul’s purpose – which, from a shamanic perspective, is the cornerstone of our personal well being.
PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 26, 2011 – Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network (www.co-creatornetwork.com) on Tuesday, August 2, at 11 a.m. Pacific time/2 p.m. Eastern time, on her show "Why Shamanism Now?: A Practical Path to Authenticity,” shaman and founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing Christina Pratt tells explains that one’s soul’s purpose is the cornerstone of well-being, from a shamanic perspective and answers the question: how do we find it?  Because, according to Pratt, without it we are lost.  With it one’s physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health come together as an integrated whole.  The gifts that one gives to the world as an expression of one’s soul’s purpose have never been seen before …and will never be seen again if one does not bring them. Pratt tells listeners that this life is the one moment to live that unique genius.  But how do know you are living your soul’s purpose?  What are the practical, daily things anyone could do to find and live their soul’s purpose?

In this episode of “Why Shamanism Now?” titled “How Do I Find My Soul’s Purpose”, Pratt answers those questions by exploring the things we can do to bring ourselves in touch with our passion, because our passion—freed from addiction and obsession—is the mainline connection to our soul’s purpose.  According to Pratt, our purpose does not live in the ethereal realms of spirit, visions, and dreams.  It lives in our body, deep within the root of being where we carry our piece of the original spark of life. To touch that original spark each day, we must release the lies we tell ourselves each day. To touch that spark we must accept the truth: the truth that we are One-with-all-things, innately worthy, and destined through our unique soul’s purpose to bring greatness to the world.

Christina Pratt is an authentic, non-traditional contemporary shaman. In practice since 1990, she specializes in mending the soul and transforming the parts of life that feel impossible.  A teacher of exceptional clarity, humor, and inspiration, Pratt brings the power of shamanism into the practical grasp of anyone willing to take responsibility for improving the quality of their life. Her well-received book, An Encyclopedia of Shamanism (Rosen), is an 800-page, two-volume set with over 750 in-depth entries that clearly discuss the basic concepts of shamanism, methods, and traditions of over 50 different shamanic peoples. Pratt is the founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing in Portland, OR, and New York, NY, creator of the original Foundations of Shamanism and Shamanic Healing course at the University of Minnesota, and a frequent and honored speaker for the American Holistic Medical Association.

"Why Shamanism Now? A Practical Path to Authenticity", a live internet talk radio with host Christina Pratt, airs Tuesdays at 11 a.m. Pacific time/2 p.m. Eastern time on http://www.co-creatornetwork.com/hosts/shamanism/host_bi .... Each week host Christina Pratt and guests explore the practical application of shamanic skills in our contemporary lives to create robust well-being, strong and clear community connections, and life enriching spiritual maturity. Listeners can ask questions by calling 512-772-1938 or via Skype. Prior episodes from "Why Shamanism Now" can be downloaded for free from the iTunes library (www.iTunes.com).  Pratt also talks about Shamanic Healing on YouTube (www.youtube.com).

Upcoming classes with Pratt include “Finding the Gift in Life Challenges” on August 19-20; Shamanic Journey Circles the third Tuesday of every month; Wisdom of the Shaman talks every third Friday; and Qigong classes every Wednesday, all in Portland, Oregon.
