A new Class of Oxygen UsersFreeStyle offers a uniquely efficient, ultra-compact, and flexible pulse-flow delivery system. Through this miniaturization into a wearable unit, a new class of oxygen users has emerged: Self-reliant individuals who are satisfied only when experiencing life to the fullest. For some that means travel across the country or travel around the world. For others, it’s doing the garden chores on the weekend, unrestricted by time. For still others, it is the exhilaration in attending a grandchild’s outdoor soccer match – carefree – or even trying your footwork at soccer yourself once again.

Now oxygen patients just like you are experiencing total freedom for the first time – all with the help of FreeStyle. And only AirSep Corporation, a leading

manufacturer of high-quality medical equipment for home, hospital, and clinical use, makes this pos-sible. AirSep is the most experienced oxygen manufacturer, including the devel-opment of the

industry’s first POC. AirSep POCs are permitted onboard commercial airlines*, which means your journey with oxygen is wherever you wish to go.

*FreeStyle has received the US Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) accep-tance for onboard, in-flight use by oxygen passengers on commercial airlines via a 2006 amendment to SFAR 106.For a list of airlines that accept passengers with FreeStyle POCs, reference www.airsep.com. Please check directly with the individual airlines with which you would like to travel for up-to-date information on their specific POC policies.

Oxygen with no BoundariesWhen you were initially diagnosed with having a need for oxygen therapy (perhaps your physician called it chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD] or another ailment), it may have been hard to imagine at the time that you would ever live life to the fullest again. But through the use of the unique FreeStyle™ Portable Oxygen Concentrator by AirSep®, you truly can experience oxygen with no boundaries!

The Only “Wearable” Oxygen ConcentratorFreeStyle is the world’s lightest, most compact, and only “wearable” portable oxygen concentrator (POC) available. A POC makes its own oxygen, as needed, everywhere you go. And because the portable oxygen concentrator enables you to be free of the need for oxygen refills and deliveries, you are never limited to where you go or how far you venture.

I took this with a Nikon D40X a few years back from the palace east balcony looking over the Paseo de la Reforma in the heart of Mexico City, my favorite city. Many may remember this shot as it appeared in a Contempo Magazine article a few years ago about the Chapultepec Historical Museum, located atop a rocky hill overlooking Chapultepec Park–the largest park in Latin America.

The area has vestiges showing human presence as far back as the Toltecs with a number ruins from both the pre-Hispanic through the colonial period. Ar-cheological studies have unearthed tombs associated a Toltec altar on the summit of the hill, and one notable site known as the Baths of Moctezuma, that were a system of tanks, reservoirs, canals and waterfalls con-structed by the Aztecs.

The “Cimarron Babes” is the hottest group of tennis women's teams any local player would love to be a part of in South Texas. They started at the bottom level, the Lone Star group or 2.5 players and in just a matter of a couple of years have made it all the way to a USTA Nationals Championship tournament.

This Fall the 3.5 level Cimarron team, captained by Gilda Bowen, earned their way to the top. After de-feating the local Rio Grande Valley Ladies League in the Spring Season, and winning all of their six matches at the State Championship in Dallas against teams from Dallas, Ft. Worth, Corpus Christi, Tyler, and San An-tonio in the scorching temperatures of 112 degrees +, they made it all the way to Tucson, Arizona, for a National tournament where they defeated the East-ern District (New York), and the Carribean Section (Puerto Rico).

They were finally defeated by Southern California, with a 3-2 score. The Babes have grown into a large and strong group of teams with levels at 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, and soon to start their 4.0 level in the Spring of 2012. Let's cheer and congratulate our local ten-nis ladies, Cimarron Babes. The BABES are shaking things up!
