15 daily performance moisturizer. Consistent with other KINeSYS products,
it is oil and alcohol-free and provides SPF15 broad-spectrum UVA and UVB

is hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, meaning it will not clog pores,
the fragrance-free formula is safe for sensitive skin. It is non-greasy
offering quick and complete absorption. The moisturizer is a dermatologist-quality
product ideal for active men and women. You can use everyday alone or
under makeup. Available in 1oz and 4oz sizes.

formula, a protective sun stick, a soothing foot spray and an analgesic
muscle balm. KINeSYS is available online at www.kinesys.com
Erin Baker’s Breakfast Cookie —
It’s not a cookie, it’s a meal!
Erin created the Baker’s Breakfast Cookie® to fulfill the need
of most busy Americans who begin each day without their most essential
meal — breakfast. The oatmeal-based cookies are all
natural, low in fat, high in fiber, and free of hydrogenated oils (trans
fats), artificial ingredients, preservatives, cholesterol, and dairy.
Baker’s Breakfast Cookie, Inc. is credited with creating a
new market niche by offering shelf-stable cookies as a healthy, delicious,
and convenient meal alternative. The all-natural cookies are available
in 12 flavors including Oatmeal Raisin, Apple Pie, Fruit & Nut, Double
Chocolate Chunk, and vegan varieties such as Chocolate Chunk and Peanut
Butter Chocolate Chunk. Baker’s mission is still the same as when
she started the company, to bring an all-natural, shelf-stable snack food
to the mainstream consumer market. Baker has also founded the Baker’s
Breakfast Cookie Healthy Start Foundation. The foundation focuses on childhood
obesity and the nutritional needs of underprivileged children through
education and healthy food donations.

Pedestrian
Summit 2004
How walkable is your community? Everyone benefits from walking but walking
needs to be safe and easy. This one-day summit brought together pedestrian
advocates to explore the challenges facing current programs and projects
and help identify the gaps that still exist. Because so many communities
have been designed around the automobile, pedestrian advocacy groups have
been developed to present an alternative vision of community life and
development. This community-driven event broke into two different breakout
sessions.
Small groups
were formed for each session. The first session’s goals were not
to solve the problem but to get to the root of why the problem exists.
It was up to the groups to come up with three key challenge statements.
This day-long event held on November 6 at Portland State University was
a positive way to approach the national problem. For links to other advocacy
activities logon to www.americawalks.org; www.livingstreets.org.uk;

Bright Gear Supernova™
The brightest, lightest, most durable security light available. You won't
believe how bright this safety light is. This little fella packs quite
a punch. It attaches to your waistband with a durable and comfortable
plastic clip. These little guys are a must here in the Northwest with
the short daylight hours when you find yourself walking in the dark. Not
only can you strap them on but hook them to the dog’s collar or jogging
stroller. We suggest that you have at least one on the front of your body
and one behind you. That way they can see you coming and going! For more

a calorie burning walking workout. With handheld weights you are only
exercising a portion of your upper body but with the vest you are toning
your entire body. Wearing the vest is comfortable and does not feel heavy.

is perfect, and the fit is snug and fits like a glove. The vest was tested
by the American Council on Exercise and it recommends its use while walking
to strengthen your bones and muscle and to elevate your mood!

About’s Web Pick
www.lesliesansone.com
This website

philosophy for weight loss and exercise programs. “Walking in your
home is simply the most effective way to get in shape.” She is the
creator of a #1 hugely popular video “Walk Away the Pounds”
and many more. She is the founder of Studio Fitness. Part of her formula
for inspiring people to walk includes taking the intimidation away from
exercise. She wants to remove all of the factors that usually turn people
off from maintaining a regular exercise program: expensive gym memberships,
other gym-goers, burnout. She knew she could develop a program that people
could stick with. The website offers training tips, a newsletter, and
you can sign up on the Walk Club, which tracks your mileage, offers a
chat room, and much more.
Blist-O-Ban™ Introduces New Shapes and Sizes
One
of the new shapes focuses on a common problem reported by hikers and walkers:
the toes. The bandage for toes is designed for a small area of the skin,
where users need the versatility of a smaller bandage to address blisters
in hard-to-reach places. The technology works through the patented BursaTek™
technology that uses the Blist-O-Ban™ gliding dome to stop friction
and reduce pain in blisters and hot spots. It’s as if the bandage
were part of the skin’s surface. For more information logon to www.sammedical.com.
