A well written article regarding the long battle former VANOC CEO has had to go through. It is incredible that someone's reputation (not to mention life) can be destroyed before there is any ounce of evidence to support claims against them. We hope that Mr. Furlong is now able to move forward and enjoy his family/loved ones and reclaim the incredible career he worked so hard to build. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/british-columbia/former-olympics-ceo-furlong-now-in-the-clear-but-the-damage-is-done/article23729406/

The sad truth is that the former CEO of the 2010 Olympics will never be able to rid himself completely of the allegations of sexual abuse on native children have left on his life and legacy. There will always be doubters

We love these stock photos from and his team. Any clients who want to come up with a creative idea to use them, let me know! http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/vince-vaughn-and-costars-pose-idiotic-stock-photos-you-can-have-free-163239

Stock photos have a bad rap. They're campy and cheesy and the butt of plenty of jokes. But what's great about them is they're often the catalyst for promotions or gags—sort of a comedic blank slate. Enter the new Vince Vaughn movie Unfinished Business, which comes out Friday.

We LOVE this! (and Adam Levine isn't too bad either!) ttp://buzz.hotmomsclub.com/what-would-you-do-if-maroon-4-and-adam-levine-crashed-your-wedding/

Maroon 5 crashed weddings all over Los Angeles to get some spectacular footage for their new hit “Sugar”. Said front man Adam Levine, last years sexiest man alive “We’re gonna drive across L.A. and hit every wedding we possibly can. It’s going to be awesome. And we’re late.” The shock and glee on t…
