Nikki's News

We love when journalists start to blog, and today is no exception.  As you may know, I work for the "News Station" (opposite of our PA Live! segments).  One of our bureau reporters recently started a blog!  This.  Is.  Big.  We already have AndyLaraDave, Jen, Ryan, Mike, a Producer and me blogging.  Welcome to the WNEP blogging family....

NIKKI KRIZE!


Nikki's blog is called "Nikki's News" and it resides at http://nikkikrize.wordpress.com.  Nikki is one of WNEP's Central Pennsylvania bureau reporters and is stationed in the Lycoming Mall near Lewisburg with Jim Hamill and photog Tom Durant.

Nikki's blog is about "a little bit of this…a little bit of that".  She talks about her work outs and her obsession with TV among other things.

You can also follow Nikki on Twitter: @NikkiKrize and on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Nikki-Krize-WNEP

PA Live! Blog of the Week: Is THIS Bliss?!


NEPA Blogs will be presenting a "Blog of the Week" on the WBRE's PA Live! every Tuesday. PA Live! airs weekday afternoons on WBRE from 4:00 to 5:00.

Watch this episode on the PA Live! website: http://pahomepage.com/palive-details?nxd_id=287192

Our PA Live! Blog of the Week this week is Is THIS Bliss?! (http://www.isthisbliss.com/).

Lorina, the blogger at Is THIS Bliss?!, certainly doesn't limit herself to blogging about just one thing. To put it as simply as possible, her blog is about finding out who she is right now.

Reading through her posts, much of this finding out is actually an act of creation. Is THIS Bliss?! isn't really a diet blog, and isn't really an exercise blog, but it does cover these topics extensively, with blog posts on subjects like exercise, fitness, health, running, weight loss, and self-esteem. Did you ever think to make your daily run more exciting by imagining, say, that there are zombies coming after you? Lorina has, and it turns out there's even an app for that. Tired of weighing yourself to see how your diet is coming along? Lorina gives (approximately) 101 Reasons to Ditch the Scale.

Is THIS Bliss?! is a fun, engaging read in which Lorina takes you along on a journey of self-discovery - and self-creation. Perhaps reading her posts will inspire you to begin your own journey. Just remember: sometimes the journey is more fun if you imagine you're being chased by zombies!

Fat Then Fit Now

April Fool! Well, I'm writing this April 1, but, by gum, I'm gonna backdate it to yesterday so we can officially put a stake in the heart of MARCH MADNESS.

A comment on a Blog Fest recap page made me realize we haven't ever linked to Dr. Joe Leonardi's health and fitness blog, Fat Then Fit Now. Joe used to be a political blogger but has shifted his focus over the last few years.

Thus endeth March Madness.

Saturday Spam Submission

From time-to-time we receive emails with requests to add new blogs to our blog. Usually they are delivered to our inbox with no issues, but for whatever, reason, this email was re-routed to our spam folder.

I don't put much trust in GMail's spam filter because I've had it catch legitimate emails on a number of occasions, so I usually review the folder before emptying it out. I'd suggest you'd do the same if by chance you have a GMail account. Good thing I did! This particular email was sent nearly 5 days ago!

Susan Coburn:

A friend of mine started this blog and she is from the back mountain area.

Family Nutrition Made Simple by Mother of Two and Dietitian!

From the About Page:

My name is Clancy Cash Harrison. I am a mother of two wonderful children, a wife, a Registered Dietitian and a foodie. I have a passion for eating food in the whole and natural form. We try to avoid commercialized foods and buy local when possible. I look at food in two ways: food to grow and food for fun! We enjoy our local dairy’s ice cream but respect the power of kale. I firmly believe it is not necessarily about nutrition but about the behavior surrounding food. As parents, we need to learn how to enjoy and respect food so our children will too.

[...]

My blog is a journey documenting how we live our life. I want to teach my children about their family culture and tradition through family recipes and food. This blog is not intended to treat or cure any medical conditions. The recipes provided are recipes I use in my home and with my children. Please consult with your pediatrician or local Dietitian to create a plan that works best for your specific needs and goals.

***You can also follow Clancy on Facebook here and Twitter here.

We can all stand to eat better and many people have made this their New Year's resolution. You can learn all about how to feed your family healthier and MORE by following Healthy Baby Beans!

Blogs to Beat Cancer

In my last blog about the "Nothington Post" we received the below comment:

I was able to catch you guys on TV with George Roberts Computer Wise Show talking about Blogging and I picked up a few good tips! Thanks for the inspiration.

I'm helping a very dear friend who has suffered over five operations and is battling Ovarian Cancer. With the help of a few of her co-workers and the Boy Scouts Troop #80 we have put together a Fund Raising Benefit & Tricky Tray for Lisa Payne at the Jackson Township Volunteer Fire House off Rt.715 in Reeders, Pa. November 5th 2011 1:00pm to 5:30pm if anyone out there would care to attend. Everyone is invited and please bring a friend!

We’ve been working hard to raise-up some really great items to give away at this Fund Raising Benefit & Tricky Tray like a pair of Giant VS Eagles tickets, tons of gift cards from local business owners, dinner for two, gift baskets, DJ Chris Fox and a whole lot more!

If anyone reading this is in the position to donate monetarily please visit Lisa Payne’s Blog at;
http://lpovariancancerfund.blogspot.com/ because is she is certainly a one of a kind and I feel blessed to have her as a friend. Everyone that knows her in fact knows that this is a very special person and there just doesn’t seem to be enough like her in the world.

Other Contacts are Lori Dewitt 570-629-7818
and Kim Lollis 570-236-3115.


God bless you for your help!
