We would like to introduce you to the true genius behind it all, Patty and Eric Rosol, of Rendering Effects. Check them out! We know you will love them and their work--we do!!! :)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rendering Effects&lt;/strong&gt; is the creation of Eric and Patty Rosol. We are a husband and wife team living in Center Valley, Wisconsin (about 15 minutes north of Appleton) who discovered a passion for technology and design, so we decided to take on the Internet one website at a time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We pride ourselves in creating visually appealing websites that allow our clients to stand out amongst the crowd, keeps your customers coming back, and allows your customers to find information easily and effectively.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;We have a combined background in computer repair, system networking/administration, photography, print, and design that goes back over 10 years. When it comes to technology we are self taught. Many people shy away from admitting that they didn't go to a fancy school and get a certificate to hang on the wall, but not us! Our passion, desire, and devotion compel us to learn more and do better every day. We say look to the worker and to their work, not to the credentials on the door, for evidence of their seriousness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;We are proficient with XHTML, CSS, Javascript, a bit of Flash, and PHP. All of our sites are hand coded with care, and will meet W3C standards, usability standards, and be search engine optimized. We can also set up blogs, forums, slideshows, and we even offer assistance in setting up your e-mail programs or protecting your computer from viruses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;We've been around a while, and we have seen how the Internet has changed over the years. Because of that we are constantly researching, evaluating, and learning the newest and best techniques for building websites. If your business is in need of a website, a website redesign, or something else that you would like to do on the Internet, we have the experience to make your project a success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 308px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 190px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.debbiedaanen.com/blog/uploaded_images/patty&amp;amp;eric-738297.jpg" /&gt;                                                       &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;             Eric and Patty Rosol&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 242px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 121px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.debbiedaanen.com/blog/uploaded_images/rfx_logo-761234.png" /&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.renderingeffects.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;www.renderingeffects.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/896151193023869730-420125645270422789?l=fame.debbiedaanen.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://fame.debbiedaanen.com/2009/09/thank-these-fine-folks-for-our-fabulous.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Debbie)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-896151193023869730.post-6584567580538272369</guid><pubDate>Tue, 15 Sep 2009 14:05:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-09-15T09:41:59.818-05:00</atom:updated><title>Scott Lesperance-Local artist</title><description>Local Artist, Scott Lesperance, creates beautiful sketched portraits from still photographs.

I finally met the man of my dreams online when I was 37. I was a happy and confident sales professional. He was a tall, dark, handsome attorney from Southern California. He wanted a family just as much as I did. I loved him more than I thought possible. I agreed that I would leave my life in Wisconsin to be with him. Although we talked early and often about marriage he procrastinated on setting a date.OK, I rationalized we could wait on the marriage but because of my age we didn't have time to wait on starting a family. We tried naturally but due to male "factors" we progressed quickly to infertility treatments. I underwent intense shots, pills, and procedures. In the midst of treatment he told me we would not marry until I became pregnant. He "would not be in a childless marriage" and he "would not adopt." Ouch. Although I did everything in my power to make our dream of children come true, it didn't happen quickly or easy enough for him. He dumped me by e-mail while I was back in Wisconsin. The "man of my dreams" refused to see or speak to me ever again.&lt;br /&gt;To say I was devastated is an understatement. Through a lawyer I was told that my ex wanted our embryos destroyed or held hostage from me in a forever frozen limbo. I felt like I was drowning emotionally and now he was fighting to kill the life we created. I was 40, unemployed, without the man I loved, or the children I dreamed of my whole life. I had been a Cancer Warrior and survived a rare form in my early 30's, had traveled alone overseas and jumped out of a plane at 10,000 feet, but I had never felt so scared or hopeless.With the support of my family, I had moments of strength, optimism, and hope for a brighter future. How could I find the silver lining in my heartbreak? How would I pick up the pieces and rebuild a life full of meaning and purpose? I invented an alter-ego - the &lt;a href="http://www.infertilitywarrior.com/"&gt;Infertility Warrior&lt;/a&gt; and started blogging to connect with, raise awareness, and empower other women battling infertility. I began envisioning a company that offered quality products with meaning to help people survive, thrive, and celebrate their lives.&lt;br /&gt;Check out her website and see how you can be inspired: &lt;a href="http://www.lifemedals.com/"&gt;http://www.lifemedals.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.debbiedaanen.com/blog/uploaded_images/NeverGiveUpGoldbox-706527.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 341px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.debbiedaanen.com/blog/uploaded_images/NeverGiveUpGoldbox-706076.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.debbiedaanen.com/blog/uploaded_images/patrice2-788329.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.debbiedaanen.com/blog/uploaded_images/patrice2-788112.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Patrice Behrend Founder/CEO Life Medals, LLC&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/896151193023869730-2993273598702931807?l=fame.debbiedaanen.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://fame.debbiedaanen.com/2009/06/dawn-of-inspirational-jewelry-company.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Debbie)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-896151193023869730.post-958302016574840773</guid><pubDate>Wed, 03 Jun 2009 15:37:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-03T13:05:45.186-05:00</atom:updated><title>Lyne Reider</title><description>We would like to introduce to you our latest member of our Wall of Fame, Lyne Reider.
