Will there ever be an end to the attack on the Redistricting Commission? The people of the State of Arizona empowered an independent redistricting commission several years ago. They have been meeting and working on a new districting plan, while it has some flaws, does represent a solution. So what happened next, an all out attack before the plan was presented for review and public comment.
First, it was their perception of the chairman of the commission not being the independent voice as was intended. And their reason was what? Her husband did work for democrats. Forget that he also did work for republicans as well. Then they didn’t like the shape of the districts and that communities of the same political ilk were not positioned to their liking. So they ignored the will of the people and fired the chairman. Want to find out more about this interesting article? Continue reading here

PHOENIX, Ariz. – August 30, 2011 – A company should consider themselves lucky to have landed a client once, but Fasturtle can count themselves as double lucky when Heritage at Lake Forest decided to have the same company freshen their look just in time for new management. In a rare occurrence, none of the content changed and Fasturtle was simply tasked with creating a whole new look based on trends and user interaction.
Heritage at Lake Forest maintained Fasturtle’s FastSite program, a program built specifically for businesses that understand the need of an online presence, but do not necessarily need a custom website. “FastSites are special in the rite that they incorporate the brand of a company while using pre-determined technology to help keep costs down,” says Eric Olsen, CEO of Fasturtle, “This blend of form and function can be an excellent launching pad for a company just starting out.” The short turnaround time also encourages business because the owner can avoid a long process and start getting things done. Heritage at Lake Forest can update photos and their own calendar as needed in the simplest of ways and has an integrated Twitter feed on their homepage in order to keep things fresh.

As we mentioned earlier in the month we hired a new intern. We are proud to announce the completion of his first project; T-shirt designs. We thought they were creative and represented the clean cut image we pride ourselves in. The white design represents some of the Fasturtle® catch phrases that you would hear around our office quite often, while the other design represents our attempt to take over the country and become the one and only, Turtle Nation. You might be thinking that’s quite a lofty goal, and our answer to that would be: You bet it is! We want to grow, share our products and prove to the world that Fasturtle® is here to stay!
We would love to hear your feedback and thoughts about the designs so please drop us a quick message or vote for the one you like best on our Facebook Page!
We are excited to announce the expansion of our Fasturtle® team! After several, should we say “terrible,” interviews for our design internship, we came across one diamond in the rough, Brian Skeet. We have elected to take him under our shell to teach him everything we can about design and the internet marketing business while allowing him the opportunity to fine tune his creativity and programming skills.
In addition to our intern, we have hired a sales supper star, Christine Ostrander. She is sure to rise to the top with her go getter attitude and “won’t take no for an answer” ways. Eric Olsen has personally elected to move forward with extensive training giving her the intricate details of Fasturtle®, ensuring she provides our clients with the legendary customer service we are aiming for.
One final note for those of you out there drudging through the interview process, to avoid a “terrible” interview please, please, please go prepared, know a little about the company, and as if should even need to be said, Dress to Impress, first impressions count for 80% of the process.
Welcome aboard Christine and Brian, we wish you success and good fortune.
