NOT FAMOUS ANYMORE

a story about the value of fame and discovering true self

In Michael Loyd Gray?s new novel, “Not Famous Anymore,” recipient of a grant from the Elizabeth George Foundation, the main character is Elliott Adrian, a famous actor of questionable skills who bottoms out in Hollywood and emerges from rehab to put the American Dream into reverse: he desires to not be famous anymore. After a short exile in Loreto, Mexico, Elliott?s road trip takes him from Arizona to Arkansas and then his hometown of tiny Argus, Illinois, where he discovers the girl he was briefly married to in high school has a daughter he never met. Along the way Fox News offers a reward for anyone who can find Elliott, and, once in Argus, Elliott learns he can?t quite escape from fame and must learn to straddle both worlds ? Hollywood as well as Argus.

From MacArthur Fellow Stuart Dybek, author of “I Sailed With Magellan”

Michael Loyd Gray has fashioned a story about this American century’s defining subject, celebrity, and married the subject to the lean, fast-paced style of the noir thriller. The result is a highly readable, totally engaging novel.

Excerpt, “Not Famous Anymore”:

Whether indoor or outdoor, open to all or focused on a special population, fitness boot camps continue to draw fans and participants and make their owners and operators easy money in the fitness business. A new website at http://www.fitness-boot-camp-franchise.info/ offers details on getting started ? and succeeding ? in the fitness boot camp franchise business without paying excessive monthly or franchise fees.

The site offers three affordable and effective fitness boot camp franchise options:

Adventure Boot Camp: The world?s leading fitness boot camp includes no monthly fees as well as the most recognized and respected brand in fitness boot camps.

IMPACT: Intense Mixed Performance Accelerated Cross Training is a low-cost, high-impact fitness boot camp training program that combines boot camp exercises, group exercise and personal training.

TACTIX: Drawing on the popularity of martial arts, this self-defense and martial arts boot camp business model is non-contact and includes a complete turn-key boot camp system that is easy to roll out.

All three boot camp options can be run as part of an existing fitness business or as a stand-alone boot camp business.

?If you are interested in launching and running a successful, lucrative fitness boot camp business, you might be closer to success than you realize, since all of these options are so simple to implement,? said John Spencer Ellis, founder of John Spencer Ellis Enterprises, a fitness and personal development solutions company. ?Operating a fitness boot camp business is the simple, easy way to own your own fitness business and earn far more money than you would by running a personal training studio or boutique fitness club, not to mention that you have the freedom to run your fitness boot camp business the way that you choose.?

Each boot camp program, available through online, self-paced training, includes business tips, tools and techniques as well as workouts and training information. In addition, the new site includes information on fitness marketing and social media outreach for boot camp operators, personal trainers and other fitness pros.

It didn?t take long for Internet Entrepreneurs Jacob King and Joseph Borowy to spot gold with their latest project, HealthNutCoupons.com. According to Co-founders King and Borowy, the site has performed brilliantly so far in 2012, generating over $ 50,000 in online sales in the year?s first two months.

But the unprecedented success this early on isn?t the only thing that?s got these Co-founders excited.

On February 28, the site released its new and improved logo, featuring a character that?s being called the ?Health Nut,? according to King.

?Joe and I are so excited to see this site come to early fruition, and we decided to really cap it off by opening a contest for logo design concepts,? says King. ?It really turned into something that was far beyond our expectations. We got connected with a really talented designer in the UK. She was really able to hone-in on exactly what we wanted. And what we ended up with is something really special?a logo that both captures the essence of our coupon website and provides a sense of warmth and charm to the visitor,? adds King.

Co-founder Borowy is the more self-pronounced health nut of the two, and says that the particular logo they ended up choosing out of the more than 6 dozen submissions ?just hit the spot.?

?When we were sorting through all of the submissions, there was one designer who had designs that really stood out,? says Borowy. ?They weren?t exactly what we wanted, but we liked the concepts?especially one that included a personified peanut dressed for Yoga. We really liked the appeal of the nut, but wanted something more ?zen.? So we had her make some revisions until it was just right.?

?With the final version we felt our character is reminiscent of the ?Health Nuts? one commonly sees when walking by a yoga class letting out,? adds Borowy. ?Two things that always stick out in that scene are rolled up yoga mats and skinny-topped stainless steel water bottles. Jake and I both saw this look in a logo and we instantly knew it was the one.?

While the Co-founders aren?t willing to spill the beans on future plans for the brand, they both suggested that they?re aiming to create an umbrella brand of ?NutCoupons? sites in a variety of niches. They see the niche-focused approach as a practical way to differentiate their brand from dozens of other coupon sites.

While they?re currently focused on the growth of HealthNutCoupons.com, they warmly take a moment to celebrate their accomplishments thus far, and salute their logo that embodies the spirit of their future as a brand.

Its been a wild ride ever since, and they look forward to an increasingly bright future.

When GenYs are financially sound, they also are likely to be socially sound, contends Jared Cahill, CEO of On Your Way (OYW) of Dallas, a reward-based web program that helps credit unions attract, engage, educate and retain Generation Y (ages 18-32) members.

In a Feb. 25 TV interview Cahill and Shama Kabani discussed GenY?s financial skills. (http://www.the33tv.com/videogallery/68381782/News/02/25/12-on-your-way#pl-64047371) Kabani is a leading voice on social media and technology trends, who hosts ?Socially Sound with Shama? on CW33-TV, serving the Dallas-Fort Worth market.

?Every day, I’m asked for my recommendations on the best tech products out there,? says the TV commentator, who has won numerous accolades and awards in the tech and business industries.

The program focused on the online education of less-than-financially savvy young adults by On Your Way, ?a company that is doing well by doing good,? Kabani said.

Kabani (in photo), who has been labeled ?Dallas? Digital Dynamo,? travels the world talking about social and technology trends. Only 26 years old, the University of Texas graduate is CEO of The Marketing Zen Group of Dallas and author of ?The Zen of Social Media Marketing,? an area in which many credit unions are eager to gain traction.

?Unfortunately, GenY also has become known as Gen Debt,? Cahill told the TV host. ?Step into a financial hole when you are young, and it?s hard to get out.?

Asked by Kabani to distinguish credit unions from banks, Cahill responded: ?They have distinct advantages. Credit Unions are a cooperative, not for profit, so rates are better, and they?re focused on customer service and relationships.?

On Your Way partnered in January with MoneyU of Rockville, MD, an award-winning financial game, to help improve the financial skills and well-being of credit unions? GenY members.

Credit unions can now cost-effectively offer the online, game-based MoneyU course to their GenY members and member-prospects in a variety of packages available through On Your Way.

The attractive pricing from MoneyU allows credit unions to generate fee income on the course.

Kabani and Cahill (seen at left) agreed that too many young adults ? ?through no fault of their own? ? are not learning in school, at home or even in college how to effectively handle their money in these economically challenging times.

MoneyU presents in simulations the financial decisions and tasks relevant to GenYs, he explained. The self-paced course covers such essential financial skills as understanding a cardholder agreement, comparing car loans and eliminating debt.

With widgets and simulations, users develop skills in just six to eight hours that would take 30 hours in a traditional classroom. Empirical outcomes show that 80% of MoneyU learners flunk the pretest, but 98% pass the post-test, he noted.

?By completing the course, GenYs become more financially capable, more likely to spend prudently, to use credit wisely and to build wealth,? Cahill emphasized. “Credit unions pride themselves on building respectful relationships with their members. We want to help GenYs establish relationships with credit unions, which demonstrate as an industry their willingness to invest in their members’ long-term well-being.

The OYW website provides GenY members/visitors with current and relevant financial information and tools for making informed financial decisions and rewards visitors with valuable prizes for activities there, thus building loyalty and retention.

The marketing firm offers targeted direct mail campaigns and opt-in e-mail educational and lifestyle messages that take only minutes to read or view. The material is branded to each credit union, and maintenance typically takes less than 30 minutes a week by a credit union staffer.

?Through our joint efforts, we can turn young adults into financially literate borrowers,? he told Kabani. ?Credit unions can make better-qualified loans and lower delinquencies for this fiscally challenged demographic.?

About On Your Way:

On Your Way?s credit union co-branded websites provide attractive, straightforward, just-in-time articles and videos tailored to the needs and circumstances of GenY. Fresh daily content is branded exclusively and individually to credit unions in 37 states and Canada, with assets of $ 24 million to $ 2 billion. On Your way, founded in 2008, offers brief, live e-tours. For more info: http://www.onyourwayinfo.com or call 214-960-0761.

About MoneyU:

MoneyU was developed expressly for GenYs by Griffin Enterprises, with outstanding, independently-validated results. More than 12,000 persons have successfully graduated. Just months after its debut, MoneyU won critical acclaim from Tech&Learning as one of the “Best Education Offerings” of the year. MoneyU’s results have been independently evaluated by assessment expert Dr. Jack Naglieri, who found the program ?significantly effective.? For more info: http://www.moneyu.com or call 877-669-7648.

LeadFerret, the world’s first 100% free B2B database with complete information, including email addresses and social media links, is now adding a crowdsourcing option.

Nothing about the current free model, that allows users to access unlimited records completely free of charge will change; LeadFerret will simply add a crowdsourcing option for those users who prefer it. In fact, by adding this option, LeadFerret will actually only improve the completely free option by making more data available.

LeadFerret Co-Founder Forest Cassidy explains the logic behind adding a crowdsourcing option: “From conception, we’ve always been aware of the issues that users have had with other crowdsourcing sites. First, most users really don’t want to upload their personal contact list to be able to get new data. Second, most users quickly run out of contacts to upload, and are then forced to pull out their credit card if they want more. However, after numerous inquiries and requests from our users, we decided to reexamine crowdsourcing, and realized that we could easily add a crowdsourcing option for the users that it works for, and still keep our current 100% free model that liberates most users from the burden of crowdsourcing.”

LifeCycle Adventures (http://www.lifecycleadventures.com), a premier bicycle tour company known for its customized, self-guided tours in California and Oregon, is now offering tours in Hawaii. Tours start and end at Kona Airport on the Big Island and are booking now for departure dates from September, 2012.

?We?re thrilled to offer a way to experience Hawaii that?s more than just the run-of-the-mill hotel, beach and pool package,? said Tony Blakey, LifeCycle Adventures founder. ?Our clients can see ?Old Hawaii? from the best vantage point: two wheels. There?s an intimacy and sensitivity to this type of travel that make it a great way to enjoy one of the most beautiful and unspoiled parts of a uniquely American paradise.?

LifeCycle Adventures launched in 2006 to provide tailored, self-guided bike tours throughout Napa and Sonoma Counties, primarily for couples and small groups. By 2010 the company expanded to offer tours in Oregon?s Willamette Valley & Columbia River Gorge. Unlike most bicycle-vacation companies, which require guests to join a group, LifeCycle Adventures? on-the-ground staff works with travelers to create custom itineraries, arrange lodging, move luggage and provide bikes ? and to find those ?hidden gems? that only locals know about. They also provide private transfers from regional airports to maximize the time guests have for riding.

High-touch service and attention to detail are the hallmarks of LifeCycle Adventures tours, traits that have been recognized in the industry; National Geographic Adventure Magazine has named the company as one of their ?Best Outfitters on Earth.?

Pricing varies depending on accommodation choices and length of stay, but commonly ranges from $ 1,000-3000 per person. Guests can book a tour by calling 1.888.NOW.BIKE in the U.S. (0800-587-8663 in the U.K.) or visiting Lifecycle Adventures on the Web at http://www.lifecycleadventures.com. As tours fill up quickly, especially in peak season, it is recommended that guests book their tours at least three months in advance.

BIG ISLAND, HAWAII TOURS

Big Island, Hawaii is a tropical paradise but there?s so much more to this island than white sand beaches and palm trees. These Hawaii bike tours focus on the north and west of the island, home to the best weather and the best cycling. Guests get to experience four very distinct areas in terms of landscape, climate, history and culture. Sample rides include:

?Waikoloa to Hawi (pronounced Ha-vee) ? On this ride, lava fields give way to grasslands, and then the landscape becomes lush before arriving in Hawi. Hawi is tropical, relaxed Hawaii at its best ? and home to a vibrant artist community. En route you visit a National Historic Site as well as world-renowned beaches.

?Hawi to Waimea (Kamuela) ? Great for those who like climbing hills on two wheels. In just a few miles, you transition from the lush, tropical world of Hawi to the open cattle ranches of Waimea highlands ? with its rolling hills and quiet lanes. In the distance you?ll see Mauna Kea ? at 13,796 feet it?s the highest point in the state.

?In and around Waimea — Cruise down to Honokaa on the east coast and on to the stunning Waipio Valley Lookout. The return ride is on the Old Mamalahoa highway ? a great opportunity to ride along quiet lanes under hanging vines and tropical flowers.

?Waimea to Captain Cook — you cruise downhill to the coast while enjoying stunning views out to the ocean. From here, you head south along the oceanfront past many small beaches to the town of Captain Cook. Captain Cook is in the heart of Kona coffee country and has some of the best snorkeling on the island. Ideal for those wanting to end the trip with a sip & splash!

CALIFORNIA & OREGON TOURS

LifeCycle Adventures continues to offer its signature California Wine Country cycling tours. Here guests explore the classic wine regions of Napa & Sonoma. The gateway city for these California bike tours is San Francisco.

Oregon?s Willamette Valley is a patchwork of vineyards as well as scenic hop farms, orchards and the wheat fields of the French Prairie. Bike tours of the Columbia River Gorge, also in Oregon, include the stunning, snow-capped peaks of Mount Hood and Mount Adams, bucolic fruit orchards and the magnificent waterfalls of the Gorge. The gateway city for these Oregon bike tours is Portland.
