The Major League Ballparks are predicted to serve 22 million hot dogs during the course of next season. Even though there are tons of new food options at baseball games these days, hot dogs still top the chart. This research was done the the National Hot Dog and Sausage council. Boston's Fenway Park, Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Ballpark and Los Angeles Dodger Stadium are the top three ballparks for hot dog consumtion. There is just something about going to a ball game and eating a nice juicy hot dog that is so appetizing. Recently I went to Dodger Stadium and I was able to try on of the faymous Dodger Dogs. The foot long hot dog really hit the spot and was perfect as I watched the Dodgers play. Baseball and hot dogs just seem to fit together. There is something about going to a ballgame and feeling the environment in the ballpark that is fascinating. Add in a hot dog and the game is truly a delight. Hot dogs always taste better at a baseball game. So the next time your at a ballgame go get yourself a hot dog and enjoy!! To even know that there is a national hot dog council is very interesting.

With the global economy on the downturn, stress and anxiety levels are on the upswing. Experts know and I know for a fact that exercise is a huge positive when stressed. Whenever i am stressed or feeling anxious and tight, the best thing for me to do is to go for a run or play some basketball. Exercising seems to have a cleansing effect on the mind as we get to let go of our problems for a minute and are able to focus and burn some of that built up anxiousness. Planet Fitness clubs are making things easier during these times as they are now offering a $1 sign up fee and $10 monthly after that. Its amazing how a company like Planet Fitness uses such a terrible time in the nation's economy as a driver for a new promotion. A PR specialist must think outside the box sometimes and think about how even bad things happening around us can help us promote or get new ideas out on the market to help boost the company.
Enlyten is a company that specializes is quick dissolving strips that help athletes in different areas to prepare for an athletic event. For example one of enlyten's strips consists of a perfect mix of melatonin and theanine designed to help aid mental and physical stress and help and to aid in sleep. Just recently Enlyten announced that Shaquille O'neal as the official Enlyten spokesperson. O'neal uses the Enlyten product and is a advocate of the product. I believe this is a brilliant thing for the Enlyten company because of Shaq's charisma. Shaq is one of the best entertainers in the NBA and a tremendous athlete. Enlyten is a new company and has grown tremendously in the last few months. The company has plans to go global and the addition of Shaq is a huge catalyst to the fast growing company. It was brilliant on the part of Enlyten to get O'neal on board as this company continues to grow in the tough market.
Sandra Robinson is a pre-school teacher in Memphis, Tennessee. Little did she think when she entered to win a trip to the NCAA Final Four that she would actually win. She won the register to win contest through Cellular South's nine retail stores in the Memphis area. The dream package is worth over 6,000 dollars with hotel, special event passes and lower level tickets to all the games at Ford Field in Detroit. Sandra is one lucky woman to win Final Four tickets. Cellular South conducted a six day "hoops mania" promotion with the grand prize recieved by Sandra. It is wonderful when companies reach out into the community and provide oppurtunities and chances for people to win prizes. I believe that providing oppurtunities for people that otherwise would not get the chance is very respectable of any company who works hard to provide wonderful chances like the one Sandra has recieved.
