How to get out of a sales slump
Q - I feel like I'm in a sales rut. I've been selling tools long enough to know what I'm doing but my sales are down. I'd like the blame it on the economy. But other dealers I know are doing OK. I'd like to grab a little bigger piece of the tool...

"Like any type of sales you need to keep finding new customers or you start getting stagnate and your sales start to drop," says Pilkenton.
So, make it a point to spend a couple minutes with guys who aren't yet customers whether that's at an existing stop or a new one. They probably won't buy from you the first time you introduce yourself, but it's all about timing. One day you'll be there when they need something or they'll have had a problem with their tool guy and be ready to jump ship. And be sure they have your card in their toolbox so they can call you any time they make that decision.
New promotional tools
Most dealers also use leave-behind handouts. There's nothing new about that. It's a good way to keep customers thinking about you and remind them of your special promotions. Be sure your flyer has your name and number on it so when a customer is ready to buy they can call you immediately -- before they cool off.
"We're making it very affordable for any type of dealer to have a custom flyer cover," says Pilkenton. "This will take them to a whole new reality for a very, very, very small fee ... It's probably going to change our industry." The new custom full-color flyer covers are expected to be unveiled at ISN's Tool Dealer Expo mid-June in Orlando.
"In today's market, with all the new technicians coming to the industry, establishing text messaging capabilities to tell them about hot new products or training events are a great way to self-promote," says Pilkenton. For more on how easy it is to use text messaging as a dealer see the "Sales Q&A" column in the April 2011 Professional Distributor.
Putting marketing technology on your truck can also help your better promote your full product offering. I'm not talking about anything very sophisticated. I'm talking about something as simple as a DVD player and TV monitor.
"If you have DVD player or computer on your truck, you need to be showing product demos," Pilkenton says. He points out that a dealer can easily get free videos from his WD partners, tool & equipment makers, or even YouTube. "There's a lot of good stuff out there."
Slumps happen. It's how you deal with them that makes the difference. Just keep a positive attitude and focus on new products, new prospects and new promotions and you can bounce back!

Every hunter knows it's a good idea to hunt the wind. Keeping the wind in your face is the best way to prevent game from getting a whiff of your presence. The scent from your clothes, hair, body and even your breath can send a prize whitetail buck flying off in the opposite direction. However, just because you're human, doesn't mean you have to smell like one. While the wind may not always be in your favor, a scent eliminator from Code Blue Scents will give you a better advantage no matter which way the wind blows. If you really want to maximize your hunt, control your human scent by applying a scent eliminator. Code Blue scent elimination products can provide several ways for you to neutralize, eliminate or prevent your offensive scent from reaching a supersensitive nose. Scent elimination is your first layer of defense against being detected by that trophy buck. Whether the scent eliminator is for your hunting clothes (and carbon suits), your hair and body, or your breath, it's a sure way to give yourself the advantage. And by removing your odd scent from the mix, you'll certainly make the lures and attractants you use more effective. Wherever your hunting interests lie, Code Blue covers it all with the best products on the market. Prepare for this hunting season by ordering the scents you need to attract game, plus essential scent eliminators to make your strategy as effective as possible.
Destroy human odor on contact with Code Blue's unique moisture activated field wipes. Ultra-versatile in application, they are the perfect size to carry into the field without having to worry about carrying a pack of noisy, pre-moistened wipes. The light-weight, compact "coins" expand to a durable 9" x 10" scent-free and biodegradable sheet when you add water. Perfect for pre-season scouting or warm, early-season hunts. Your clothes aren't the only item that comes in contact with human odors - use EliminX field wipes to eliminate scent on your rifle, bow, trail camera, etc. Simply drop a tube into your pocket or pack for extra odor eliminating insurance. 12 Sheets
12 fl. oz.
Even if you take precautions and use EliminX Laundry Detergent, when you're out in the field making last-minute preparations and climbing into your hunting stand, human scent can cause problems. Code Blue EliminX Field Wipes provide a convenient scent eliminator you can take on the hunt. Use it on your skin - it's safe and environmentally friendly - or on your rifle, bow, trail camera, hunting stand and more.

Insect Bites (cont.)
Insect Bites Symptoms
Patient Comments Read 25 Comments
The response to a sting or bite from insects is variable and depends on a variety of factors. Most bites and stings result in pain, swelling, redness, and itching to the affected area. The skin may be broken and become infected if the bite area is scratched. If not treated properly, these local infections may become severe and cause a condition known as cellulitis.
You may experience a severe reaction beyond the immediate area of the sting if you are allergic to the bite or sting. This is known as anaphylaxis. Symptoms of a severe reaction include hives, wheezing, shortness of breath, unconsciousness, and even death within 30 minutes.
A sting on the tongue may cause throat swelling and death because of airway obstruction.
Stings from large hornets or multiple (hundreds or thousands) bee stings have been rarely reported to cause muscle breakdown and kidney failure.
Bites from a fire ant typically produce a pustule, or a pimple-like sore, that is extremely itchy and painful.

Assistant Professor of Business Administration
Heidi K. Gardner is an Assistant Professor of Business Administration in the Organizational Behavior unit at Harvard Business School.
Professor Gardner researches, teaches and speaks on topics related to leadership, collaboration and teamwork in knowledge-based organizations, focusing especially on professional service firms. Her current research explores issues of peer collaboration (such as between partners in professional service firms) in complex, knowledge-based, high autonomy environments where people can choose whether to work solo or jointly, and where collaboration is especially challenging because it stretches over time and across projects. This work analyzes the benefits and costs to firms and individuals of working collaboratively, and investigates elements of leadership and organizational design that support (or hinder) the collaboration and innovation necessary for high-quality client service. She has also extensively investigated issues that allow project teams to most effectively use their members' expertise in order to achieve their fullest potential.
Professor Gardner's research was awarded the Academy of Management Organizational Behavior Division's prize for Outstanding Practical Implications for Management. She has published articles in the Academy of Management Journal, Administrative Science Quarterly, Harvard Business Review, and Journal of Organizational Behavior, as well as chapters in edited volumes focusing on organizational behavior, multinational teams, and the management of professional service firms. She serves on the editorial board of Administrative Science Quarterly. Her research has been featured in media such as The Economist, Boston Globe, MSN.com, CNN Money, Fortune.com and CBSNews.com.
She currently teaches the Leading Professional Service Firms course both in the Executive Education program and as a second-year MBA elective. Professor Gardner also teaches a number of executive offerings at both the Business School and Harvard Kennedy School focusing on professional service firms, talent management and teamwork. Previously she taught the required Leadership and Organizational Behavior (LEAD) course in the MBA program.
Prior to her academic career Professor Gardner worked as a management consultant for McKinsey & Co. in London, Johannesburg and New York, as well as a manager for Procter & Gamble. She also held a Fulbright fellowship in Germany and previously lived in Japan while majoring in East Asian studies as an undergraduate at the University of Pennsylvania (graduated summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa). More recently, Professor Gardner earned a Masters degree (with distinction) from the London School of Economics and a Masters and PhD in Organizational Behavior from London Business School.
Research Summary
Current Research

Deborah Aarts
Most CEOs believe there's value in assembling cross-functional teams of star players. Most also know the frustration of getting these talented individuals to work as an effective group. A new working paper from Heidi Gardner and Francesca Gino of Harvard Business School and Bradley Staats of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill suggests an answer.
Ethan Rouen
For many companies, using salary to compete for top talent is often a losing battle. But talented employees often look for several other qualities in jobs when deciding whether to make a move.
Sean Silverthrone
Team dynamics often change significantly -- and not for the better -- when a team is under deadline or other pressure. It's critical for team leaders to understand what is happening and why and how to pull the group back together.

Reflecting Personalities: Jewelry on the Famous and Its Impact on Design
Jewelry can help create a public persona, and in turn the wearer can help promote style. Something treasured, jewelry is rich with private symbolism for its recipients, givers, and owners. The jewelry of Van Cleef & Arpels has been worn by Grace Kelly, Jacqueline Kennedy, Elizabeth Taylor, and many others in the public eye. Come hear a discussion of some of the key jewelry icons of the last 80 years and the behind-the-scenes stories gathered from archives, photos and designs.

My Life Changed in One Day
My Life Changed in One Day
For those of you who have been following me since the beginning know that this blog was simply a way for me clean out all of the impurities within myself. That somehow transformed into the mind of a sugar baby that had bits and pieces of her heart trapped within the words.
But here is the thing; I have to be honest with all of you. This is a complete contradiction to who I am as whole, but represents exactly who I was when I was imcomplete.
The characteristics to my personality involved lies. I was in fact a true liar; A walking oxymoron walking a heart beat contradiction.
I created stories and was very good at it.
The saying is true; we are no longer afraid of the monsters under the bed when we realize that all the monsters live within us.
Think about it.
What is your scariest thought, the part of yourself that you don't even dare think about?
Everyone has it.
This physical body will soon die, but what about our spirits. Don't deny your spirit because you cannot; for it is your spirit that you always subconsciously try to feed. It is the spirit that truly feels pain and suffering or joy and happiness. It is the spirit that will live on soon after this physical body is no longer.
I hope that all of the young ladies out here that I once called my fellow sugar babies get out of this disgusting materialistic state of mind. Because trying to find happiness within physical things is like trying to chase the wind.
Don't fall into the trap of indulging in worldly affairs when it actuality without a doubt it becomes poisonous to the heart.
My whole life literally changed in a day and it no longer depends on the day with me.
Peace ladies

After waiting years for a reprint, it's only in men's sizes?! I'm feelin' some sofa-like wrath right now...
Sorry, it was just a thought that came upon me when I saw Evan commenting here. I'll go now.
I'll go 3.14, though I think the votards might drag this down...
(Just to clarify: I'm not saying boo designers because without you guys there'd be no awesome tees, I'm just curious is all. I think this is an awesome gesture!)
I know I have no real chance of getting this, but I wanted to comment nonetheless to ask why isn't Evan/FA alumni? Hasn't he had a collab design printed with his name on the tag? (Actually, why aren't any sloganeers alumni? Should I stop now before I start rocking the boat?)

Greetings TofuXpress Family,
We hope you are enjoying your tofu press! This section of our website is here for you. You can browse through new ways to use your TofuXpress or share recipes you have created using pressed tofu.
The TofuXpress was created to make tofu more enjoyable and to help others incorporate more "Green Protein" into their diet. Pressing tofu allows for better flavor through more effective marination and it also changes its texture! We hope you see this tofu press as an opportunity to introduce tofu to your friends and family in new ways.
There are more reasons to "Eat Green Protein". For example, we ran across an interesting statistic: "Growing soybeans doesn't require nearly the amount of water that's needed to raise animals.
A household that replaces one pound of beef with one pound of soy per month would conserve twenty thousand gallons of water per year. If just 20 percent of households in the Unites States and Canada substituted four ounces of beef for four ounces of soy per week the annual water savings would be enough to provide ten gallons of drinking water to ever person in the world." The Green Book p. 71.
We believe that if people make just small changes to their diet big things can happen. Not only can you help yourself be healthier, you can also help the environment. We hope that these tofu recipes, along with the TofuXpress, can influence you to make small modifications for yourself, your loved ones, and the planet.
Want to do more? Help us to help others by sharing your favorite pressed tofu recipes with us today. Submit your recipes and photos of your creations to email@example.com. Feel free to include a sentence or two on the story behind the development of your recipe and please indicate if you would like to have your first name and city mentioned as well.
Marie Kraft,

Cleburne County Probate Judge Ryan Robertson, who serves as chairman of the commission, broke a tie by voting no.
Commissioners Laura Cobb and Emmett Owen, who backed the proposal, said they wanted to have better communication with the departments. At the May meeting, the commission requested county attorney Doug Ghee look into whether it was legal for the commissioners to oversee the individual departments.
Ghee reported to the commissioners that it was legal for them to have some kind of relationship with the county departments and department heads. However, he cautioned the commissioners that they were limited on what they could do as an individual working with that department.
"Anything that you do officially is done as a commission, not as individuals," Ghee said.
Owen said the intent of the proposal was for the commissioners to gain information and become more familiar with the county operations, not run the department.
"I don't think any of us commissioners want to go in and tell them what to do," Owen said.
Commissioner Bobby Brooks, who voted against the proposal along with Commissioner Benji Langley, said the commissioners already have the ability to go to department heads and ask questions.
"I think it's unnecessary," Brooks said.
Ghee had presented a second proposal that would require the county department heads to come to the commission's work session to give monthly reports. The commissioners would be able to request additional reports, documents or ask questions of the department heads. The second proposal passed 3-1 with Brooks being the sole "no" vote.
"I just didn't want to add more work to the workload of anybody," Brooks said. "I feel like they've been doing a good job."
The terms of the proposal would expire after six months unless a majority votes to extend them. Cobb said she was willing to give the second proposal a try.
"The main thing is being able to know what goes on in the county government, being able to work with each department and being able to go in that department freely," Cobb said.
In other business the commission members:
— Appointed Doug Ford to the Cleburne County Water Authority.
— Approved a plan to sell its property at 141 Davenport Drive excluding the emergency radio tower to the Cleburne County Board of Education for $1. The board will be responsible for the necessary legal work and surveying costs.
— Approved allowing Joyce Fuller, Cleburne County revenue commissioner, to replace a retiring employee.
— Recognized County Finance Officer Melissia Wood as she prepares to leave her position with Cleburne County to accept a position as assistant county administrator with Calhoun County.
— Approved appointing Kim Brown as interim county finance officer for no more than six months while the county searches for a new finance officer. Temporary workers will be hired to take over Brown's current responsibilities.

School lunch was the topic of discussion last Friday as several key Obama administration officials participated in a discussion and cafeteria site visit organized by SNA at Weyanoke Elementary School in Alexandria, Va. Penny McConnell, Director of Food and Nutrition Services for Fairfax County Public Schools hosted the event, with SNA Executive Director Barbara Belmont, SNA Child Nutrition and Policy staff and SNA counsel facilitating the event. Using her experience and expertise in child nutrition, McConnell discussed the struggles that school nutrition programs face and the successes they have had in improving childhood nutrition. Topics included the need for increased funding, balancing students tastes with good nutrition, incorporating locally grown and fresh items, and addressing food allergies.
White House Assistant Chef, Sam Kass attended the meeting and participated in the discussion. Several USDA and Department of Education officials were involved in the discussion as well including:
Several Congressional staff members were also in attendance, along with senior staff members from both the USDA and Department of Education.
This meeting was a tremendous opportunity to discuss the challenges facing the school nutrition programs with key policy makers. Congress is likely to begin work on Child Nutrition Reauthorization in the next few months. Last Friday's cafeteria site visit and discussion provided SNA with strong access to these important individuals, allowing them to enjoy a school lunch and witness first hand the importance of these programs.
Kitchen Cabinet Sits Down for Lunch - Washington Post
The United States Senate voted on Thursday, October 8, 2009 to approve the agriculture appropriations conference bill by a vote of 76-22. The legislation passed the House of Representatives earlier in the week. President Barack Obama is expected to sign the measure soon.
Under this bill, the current Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act is extended for one year. The legislation also allocates $25 million in funds for equipment assistance grants for school nutrition programs. School nutrition programs that did not originally receive grants through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act are eligible to apply.

In July we discussed the basics of a purchasing system, and how it can help you control costs and improve the quality of your projects.
For the past several columns we've been talking about the importance of gross profit and contribution margin, or the amount that each job "contributes" toward overcoming your annual fixed overhead expenses and reaching your profit target.
When I was a young builder in the early '80s, there was an old-timer in town who worked with a couple of his sons, a small crew, and a handful of good local subcontractors.
How and why it came to be this way.
Outsourcing paperwork with a PEO; high-school building program faces closure; defective-drywall guide raises eyebrows; more
A recent experience got me thinking about the competitive bid process.
Let's begin this month by reviewing some basic financial concepts and benchmarks.
This automated time clock can speed payroll, improve job-costing, and help you estimate more accurately.
Budgeting for your marketing, sales, and project starts
Apartment Finance Today recently sat down with Freddie Mac's Mike May to get his perspective on the competitive landscape, both against chief rival Fannie Mae and the private sector, as well as the company's plans for 2011.
Take some pain out of the yearly exercise of creating your jobs budget
THE PAST FEW YEARS haven't been great for apartment owners. Turns out corporate housing companies have had it just as bad.
Here's an effective way to organize and categorize expenses and job-cost data and compare the results with your forecasts.
In a wide-ranging interview, Michael Berman, president and CEO of CWCapital, discusses his company's acquisition by Fortress Investment Group, the state of the multifamily market, and his work in helping to shape our nation's future housing finance system as chairman-elect of the Mortgage Bankers...
Knowing how many jobs you need to complete and collect for on a monthly and quarterly basis is critical to meeting the financial goals you set for the period. But how do you know on a week-by-week — or even day-by-day — basis whether your jobs are moving you toward the goal line?
Unlearning bad habits picked up during the boom years is the first step to recovery.
OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, many multifamily CFOs added a new, albeit unfortunate, bullet point to their resumes: "loan workout specialist." Some could probably also add: "crisis management expert.
TO PARAPHRASE AN OLD QUESTION: If prospective residents call and nobody hears them, do they still make a sound?
Throughout the recession, many multifamily builders diversified to survive, positioning themselves for long-term stability.
Take a look at your "break-even volume," which is the bare-minimum volume of work that you need to complete (and get paid for) in order to keep your doors open.

A much changed Lancashire Lightning side comfortably disposed of the Unicorns by nine wickets at Old Trafford today.
Sajid Mahmood, Kyle Hogg, Gary Keedy and Stephen Parry all took two wickets for Lancashire, with Parry's 2-18 from his eight overs being the pick, as the visitors were bowled out for 143 from 39.4 overs.
Visiting captain Keith Parsons won the toss and elected to bat first in this Group A fixture, but only himself and ex-Glamorgan batsman Michael O'Shea made it beyond 25.
They both added 27, sharing 45 for the fourth wicket after the Unicorns had been reduced to 18-3, while Neil Saker later added 20.
Opener Stephen Moore hit five boundaries in a quick-fire 21 off 12 balls at the top of the chase, but he was the only wicket to fall as Karl Brown and Steven Croft put the finishing touches to a victory with 80 balls to spare.
Brown hit a career best 65 not out off 80 balls, including five fours and two sixes, to follow up his 56 against the West Indies A side here a few weeks ago. He shared an unbroken second wicket partnership of 99 inside 22 overs with Croft.
Coach Peter Moores said: "It was a good win, a really good win actually. They're a side that you don't underestimate because we've seen how they played against other sides in the competition.
"We knew we had to play well, and I think we did play well. It was good to see Daren Powell bowl with discipline up front, it was good for Hoggy to have a decent bowl in a first team game.
"With the Twenty20s, we've been carrying him around as 12th man a lot lately. Saj also came in and bowled well.
"All in all, it was a good bowling performance. It was then nice for Karl Brown go in there and take his chance. He batted well for a really solid 50."
Moores made five changes from the team that lost here against Surrey on May 23 when the likes of Ashwell Prince and Jimmy Anderson were in the side. Moores decided to give Luke Procter, Brown, Gareth Cross and Keedy their first 40-over outing of the summer.
Chris Murtagh had hit two boundaries off Hogg in the first over before he holed out to Daren Powell at mid on off the same bowler in the third over of the innings.
Wicketkeeper Josh Knappett was caught at first slip by captain Paul Horton in the fifth to hand Hogg his second wicket before Jackson Thompson was run out by a combination of Procter and Hogg later in the same over.
Parsons and O'Shea started the recovery from 18-3, but everybody else struggled until a ninth wicket stand of 44 between Saker and Chris Brown.
O'Shea was caught by Keedy off Mahmood in the 16th over, an identical dismissal to Murtagh's, before Parry had Nick Hancock caught behind by Cross to leave the score at 64-5 in the 17th.
Keedy bowled Ed Young around his legs in the 24th before Parry, who struck in his first over, also had Parsons caught behind in the 25th to reduce the visitors to 85-7.
Keedy bowled Glen Querl before Saker and former Lancashire off spinner Brown (19) shared 44 in eleven overs.
Brown was on the Old Trafford books between 1992 and 1997 and plays Minor Counties cricket for Norfolk. He has also played second team cricket for the likes of Glamorgan, Essex, Somerset and Derbyshire.
Brown was stumped by Cross off the medium pace of Procter before Mahmood forced Saker to chop on in the last over.
Moore was caught behind down the leg side by Knappett off the medium pace of Querl to leave the score at 45-1 in the sixth over of the chase, but Brown and Croft eased their side to victory.
Brown dispatched the left arm spin of Young over long on for six in the 18th over and the right hander reached his 50 in identical fashion off the other Brown in the 21st.
A wide from Brown in the 27th over completed the formalities, handing the Red Rose the two points. Croft finished 39 not out off 68 balls, with only two boundaries to his name.
The Lightning have gone above the Unicorns in the Group A table. Their next match is a floodlit affair against Sussex at Old Trafford a week on Tuesday.

Walker Theatre
617 Indiana Avenue,
4 people favorited this theater
A rare example of African Deco styling (which featured African shields and spears, sphinxes, and chimpanzees), the Walker Theatre was concieved by Madam C. J. Walker, America's first black millionairess, after she was charged a higher price to attend another downtown theater because of her race.
Walker died in 1919, before the theater was finished, but her daughter A'Lelia completed the theater in her mother's memory. The Walker Theatre was opened on December 26, 1927, with 1,500 seats. The theater building also contained a ballroom, casino, beauty shop, pharmacy, and coffee shop. It was located in the heart of the African American community, Indiana Avenue, which was famed for its jazz halls.
Recently, the building has undergone a complete restoration. There are plans to install a theater organ, which will hopefully be the original Barton Organ that was removed long ago.

Turner, Eagles Snap Mustang Streak
March 15, 2013
By Mason Nesbitt, TMC Sports Information Intern
La Mirada, CA -- All good things must come to an end. Friday, the Mustangs' 11-game winning streak in GSAC play was snapped by Biola in a 5-3 loss.
Trailing by two runs in the ninth, Mustang second baseman Sam Robison singled, but was thrown out at second base trying to advance on a ball that got away from the catcher. Two Mustangs struck out in the inning.
Biola's (17-12, 9-10 GSAC) winning pitcher Nick Turner allowed The Master's College (21-8, 14-5 GSAC) two baserunners through the first four innings.
Mustang starter A.J. Work struggled early on for the second straight outing. Work, who entered the game with a 1.65 ERA, allowed four runs on six hits in the first two innings.
"A.J. couldn't command the fastball early," said Mustang Coach Monte Brooks. "We didn't stick with off-speed early and when he went with it he dominated the rest of the game. We got away from the plan and we can't do that against a good team."
Work (7-2) took the loss, but didn't fold. He retired the Eagles in order in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings to keep the Mustangs in the game.
In the sixth, TMC's Spencer Downs hit a two-run home run, his third of the season, bringing the Mustangs within three at 5-2.
TMC added another run in the seventh on a Caleb Halverson sacrifice fly, but didn't get any closer.
"Turner has the two different curveballs," said Mustang shortstop Jon Popadics, "the 12-6 and one kind of like a slider that kept us off balance. But after the fifth inning we got around to him and figured him out. But by then it was too late."
Turner, the GSAC's strikeout leader, struck out five while allowing three runs (two earned) in seven and a third innings.
TMC will be back in La Mirada tomorrow for a doubleheader with the first pitch scheduled for noon. The Mustangs retain their two-game lead over Concordia for first place in the GSAC following Concordia's 8-2 loss at Arizona Christian.

Clarence M. Mitchell III
The bear
Published: January 2, 2013
A father's act can be tough for a son to follow, all the more so when your father and namesake, Clarence M. Mitchell Jr., was a civil rights lion who came up fighting the good fight alongside your mother—Juanita Jackson Mitchell, the first black woman to practice law in Maryland—and Thurgood Marshall, the first black U.S. Supreme Court justice. But Clarence Maurice Mitchell III did a pretty good job of it, despite rough patches. His contradictions—an ex-con who did federal-prison time for political corruption who nonetheless is credited with helping craft laws that made hotels and restaurants serve all people, and an accused wife-beater who nonetheless crowed about his legislative record of working to protect women from spousal abuse—only served to enhance his reputation for political and rhetorical pugilism, which earned him the nickname "The Bear."
When Mitchell III died of cancer this year at 72, he himself was lionized by the city's political class—including some, such as former Baltimore mayor Sheila Dixon and former Maryland General Assembly member Larry Young, who live with their own contradictions, thanks to very public sins for which they've had to pay. The kudos praised Mitchell III's oratory, wit, activism, and way-paving accomplishments for leaders who came later and called him a mentor—including, reportedly, U.S. President Barack Obama. But Mitchell III's bag of tactical tricks included battling public controversies that surrounded him, his family, and his allies by protesting that the problems were but newly minted manifestations of the very real racist conspiracies his father so successfully confronted.
To many, this approach may have smacked more of Mitchell III cynically riding on his father's untarnished coattails to distract from actual misdeeds than him carrying out a right-minded effort to beat back actual racist actors—or actor, really, since Mitchell III mostly was calling The Baltimore Sun racist for uncovering controversies. Who really believed that David Simon was a racist for chronicling the heroin-fueled rise and fall of politically connected gangster "Little Melvin" Williams, or that Sun sleuths were looking to modern-day lynch then-state Sen. Larry Young when they found he was profiting from his public office, or that its reporters, when proving that Mitchell III's brother was pilfering his very sick uncle's bank accounts to make good on his own financial foolishness, were motivated by race-based hate? Other than Mitchell III and his wide circle, perhaps nobody. But it was an effective way to create the illusion of carrying on his father's good work.
Mitchell III earned his nickname in many careers, including as a politician, a mortgage broker, a bailbondsman, a consultant, an activist, and a real-estate broker. But in his death this year, he mainly earned a moment for the world to rummage through his life and conclude that he was by no means his father's second act, though he tried hard to trade on that possibility, and while his efforts were not always good, nor were they always bad.

Audition will consist of a one-minute contemporary monologue and cold readings.
Bring a photo and resume if available.
Rehearsals will be held from July 24 to Aug. 2. Performances are Aug. 3, 4-5 at Brüka Theatre.
This is a wonderful chance to work with two experienced Nevada theatre artists working in professional theaters all over the country, including St Louis and Chicago.
"The Aftermath" is a family drama about the connections we have or don't have in our own families, learning to trust others and ourselves and desire to simply be loved and appreciated by those who should love us the most. The story follows Dee Dee, an artist who has just attended her father's funeral in Carson City. Dee Dee and her father have a strained relationship, so she feels as if she didn't know her father at the time of his passing. As she attempts to learn who her father was, many secrets about the family are revealed and a stranger becomes much more important than Dee Dee could have ever imagined. The play also deals with Asperger's Syndrome, a mild form of autism through Dee Dee's son.

Today I wanted to share a little DIY bouquet method. Many of my brides love making things for their wedding day that reflect their personality and add that little bit of something that is unique to them.
I tend to do the tedious wedding planning tasks and my clients are left to work on their own wedding projects. A perfect relationship!
I saw this idea on Pinterest last week and had to share it with you. If you want to check out my wedding planning boards to inspire you, then click here.
This bridal bouquet idea is so inexpensive and looks beautiful! You can colour match to your theme if you don't want the overall look too christmassy.
Here are the steps to make your own unique bauble bouquet.
You Will Need:
Gold spray paint
Leaf sprigs
Wire in 8″strips
Glass bulbs in various shades and sizes
Glue gun
Gold floral tape
Coordinating ribbon
Before you begin: Spray paint the leaf sprigs gold and allow them to dry 24 hours.
Step 1: Bend the edge of your wire strips about a 1/4″ down.
Step 2: Hot glue the edge of the bended down wire.
Step 3: Quickly enter the wire into the hole of the bulb and secure with glue on the outside as well on both sides.
Step 4: Repeat this to all the bulbs you want to use for the bouquet.
Step 5: Gather 3-4 bulbs at a time into small groups, and wrap them with the floral tape to secure.
Step 6: Incorporate some of the golden leaf sprigs into a few of the bulb groups and wrap with tape.
Step 7: Wrap floral tape around the small groups so that eventually it becomes one bouquet.
Step 8: Wrap a final piece of floral tape around the entire bouquet so that it's extra secure.
Step 9: Wrap your coordinating ribbon around the bouquet, starting at the bottom and working your way to the top. Be sure to secure it at the bottom with hot glue.
Optional: Tie a bow at the top. Voila!
This is just lovely, you can thank Brittany Watson Jepson from House That Lars Built for this tutorial.
I thought it would be nice to give something back to you lovely readers, so how about I send you a month by month task list to help you stay organised and on track.
My 12 month count down planner will be just the ticket. You can print it out and tick off those tasks as you do them. There is nothing like the feeling of achievement when you see your list getting shorter.
It's also month by month so that you can tackle a few things at once. If you do get ahead of yourself then promise yourself a treat! A scrumptious mince pie, cream and coffee!
All you have to do is subscribe to my monthly newsletter by clicking here and signing up in the right hand column. You will then receive my top tips and advice each month to give you a little Wedding Genie inspiration.
Until next time, happy planning.

The resort had plenty of scheduled activities for all ages to partake. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There were huge turtles nesting at night so lights had to be dim at 9pm. One of the nests hatched while we were there but we did not get to see it. This is a fabulous resort.

When we were there we even had free access to bicycles and things to play with at the water. While others were paying hefty fees to stay at the Hilton next door, we were staying in a far more luxurious two bedroom suite and enjoying our "free ride".
Great office staff, very service oriented, and just great things to keep kids busy program wise.Resort Experience:Charter Club is my favorite of all the Marco Island resorts, and while it's a large facility, it's very efficient and will be loved by every member of the family.
While the probability is your room will be stories off the ground, the elevators give easy access and it's nice to have a timeshare equipped with everything! The pool is very large and very nice.
Just open those drapes and take in the marvelous view! That's what everyone has who enjoys the Charter Club.
