Style icon and acclaimed Italian designer Allegra Hicks, known for her organic and sophisticated designs, began to work with The Rug Company in 2004.
With a long and prestigious history in textile and rug designing, Hicks brought with her years of experience.
Using a unique print vocabulary which is applied to all her collections, her style can be described as timelessly elegant, sophisticated, organic, and eclectic, often with a vintage feel. Her recognizable elegance and style, with pure, earthy tones, translate beautifully into her collectable range for The Rug Company. Allegra Hicks rugs feature soft patterns, mostly inspired by nature, which are enhanced by richness of the wool and silk yarns.
This rug is entirely handmade, from the spinning of the yarns to the weaving on the loom. It is unique, and has been crafted by weavers in the Kathmandu area, whose skills have been passed down through many generations. We use only the finest natural yarns; the Tibetan wool is renowned for its softness and durability, while the fine silk brings a delicate lustre that enhances the design of the rug. To this we have added the vision of a world class designer, and the result is a hand knotted contemporary rug of extraordinary beauty which will itself become an heirloom to be treasured for years to come.

American Tradition Institute
This article is part of the Center for Media & Democracy's spotlight on front groups and corporate spin. |
Learn more from the Center for Media and Democracy's research on climate change. |
The American Tradition Institute (ATI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit headquartered in Washington, DC and in Denver, CO. According to its mission statement, the ATI is "a public policy research and educational foundation ... founded in 2009 to help lead the national discussion about environmental issues, including air and water quality and regulation, responsible land use, natural resource management, energy development, property rights, and free-market principles of stewardship."
ATI "is part of a broader network of groups with close ties to energy interests that have long fought greenhouse gas regulation." The group has "connections with the Koch brothers, Art Pope and other conservative donors seeking to expand their political influence," reported the Institute for Southern Studies in October 2011.[1]
In 2011, ATI sued the University of Virginia to get access to the emails of climatologist Michael Mann.
ATI sprung from a 501(c)(4) group called the Western Tradition Partnership, which was formed in Colorado in 2008.
"The Western Tradition Partnership (WTP)...[was] a political advocacy group backed primarily by the energy industry. It was first registered as a Colorado nonprofit [501(c)(4)] in 2008 by Scott Shires, a Republican operative who pleaded guilty that same year to fraudulently obtaining federal grants to develop alternative fuels."[2]
"In 2010 WTP changed its name to American Tradition Partnership (ATP), and announced that it had launched the American Tradition Institute, a 501(c)(3) think tank that would be "battling radical environmentalist junk science head on." The "junk science" ATP seems most concerned with is what the US National Academy of Sciences says should now be regarded as "settled facts" - that the Earth is warming and humans are the likely cause."[2]
Subverting Wind Power
On May 8, 2012, the Guardian posted a confidential memo prepared by a fellow of the American Tradition Institute (ATI) that advises how to build a national movement of wind farm protesters. Among its main recommendations, the proposal calls for a national PR campaign aimed at causing "subversion in message of [wind] industry so that it effectively becomes so bad that no one wants to admit in public they are for it." It suggests setting up "dummy businesses" to buy anti-wind billboards, and creating a "counter-intelligence branch" to track the wind energy industry. It also calls for spending $750,000 to create an organisation with paid staff and tax-exempt status dedicated to building public opposition to state and federal government policies encouraging the wind energy industry.
The proposal was discussed at a meeting of self-styled 'wind warriors' from across the country in Washington DC in February 2012. Participants included members of conservative groups such as Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow and Tea Party Patriots.
The proposal was reviewed by John Droz Jr., a senior fellow at ATI, for discussion at the Washington meeting, which he also organised. ATI's executive director, Tom Tanton, told the Guardian that Droz had acted alone on the memo, although he remains a fellow at ATI. Droz is a longtime opponent of wind farms, arguing that the technology has not yet been proven and that wind technology should not receive government support. He claims 10,000 subscribers to his anti-wind-power email newsletter. In a telephone interview, Droz said the Washington strategy session was his own initiative, and that neither he nor any of the participants had been paid for attending the session.[3]
2011 Colorado Lawsuit Over Renewable Energy Standard Mandate
On April 4, 2011, ATI, the American Tradition Partnership and plaintiff Rod Lueck sued the State of Colorado and several officials over the constitutionality of the state's Renewable Energy Standard mandate. The RES requires the state's major utilities (mainly Xcel Energy) to obtain 30 percent of their power generation from renewable sources by the year 2020.
The group also released a 2011 report with Beacon Hill Institute in favor of repealing Ohio's Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard, arguing that renewable energy would drive up electricity costs and hurt the state economy. The repeal did not move forward.
2011 Michael Mann E-mails
In 2011 ATI issued a FOIA request to the University of Virginia for emails sent by climate scientist Michael Mann during his tenure at that university. On May 25, 2011, an agreement was reached in which UVA agreed to release 9000 documents to ATI within 90 days.[citation needed]
But on November 2, 2011, a Virginia county circuit judge issued a procedural ruling[4] that was "a huge setback for ATI":
- "The court allowed that there was reason for UVA to reopen the protective order before the court. The original protective order would have allowed ATI to review the emails themselves. That court order is now invalid. ATI will not see the exempt emails. ...Now, a neutral party will be able to see the emails, not ATI. The neutral party must be agreed upon by all parties...", Scott Mandia reported Michael Mann saying.[5], [6]
What had changed? University of Virginia court filings[7][8] had argued that ATI publicity and actions of ATI principals David W. Schnare and Christopher Horner - who were both the attorneys and the petitioners in this case - had raised questions about whether with these dual roles they could be trusted to abide by the previous ruling's requirement to keep the content of the exempt emails private.[9] [See Schnare's SourceWatch page for his response.]
In July 2012 the Guardian reported that ATI had begun seeking the release of scientists' communications with specific journalists - the first time the media was being drawn into FOIA requests concerning climate science. The list of news organizations includes the New York Times, the Associated Press, Frontline, and the Guardian.[10]
2009 Colorado Campaign: Corporate Money and Disclosures
- "In 2009, the group sued Longmont, CO over their Fair Campaign Practices Act. The city settled and agreed to drop disclosure requirements. In 2010, after the U.S. Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, WTP/ATP successfully challenged the constitutionality of the Montana Corrupt Practices Act of 1912, which prohibited independent political expenditures by corporations."[2]
Disciplinary actions
2010 Montana Ruling
- "During the 2010 elections, the Montana Commission of Political Practices found that the organization broke state campaign laws by failing to register as a political committee or report its donors and spending. The state suggested WTP/ATP was involved in corruption and money laundering. They found that it solicited unlimited contributions to support candidates and then passed them through a "sham organization," the Bozeman-based political action committee The Coalition for Energy and the Environment that ran attack ads against Democrats. WTP told corporations that it aimed to combat "radical environmentalists" and "beat them at their own game" and that their contributions would remain secret."[2]
Funding and IRS status
American Tradition Institute is the dba name of the Western Tradition Institute 501(c)(3). Guidestar lists it as EIN #264239065, ruling date 07/2009.
According to ATI's 2010 IRS Form 990, its personnel are all volunteers; whether some[11] are paid by ATI's sister 501(c)(4), Western Tradition Partnership, is unknown, as that group did not file a return with the IRS that year.[12]
There are two versions of its 2010 IRS Form 990 online, an original return by Scott Shires available on Guidestar and an amended return by another preparer available at the Institute for Southern Studies. The original return shows 30 volunteers and 1 independent director where the amended return shows 3 volunteers and 3 independent directors (though only one is named), and there are also other differences.
The ATI website's About page says that "ATI accepts no government grants, and our financial backing has to date primarily derived from a broad and growing base of grassroots contributors."[13]. In 2010, $140k of its $186k of funding reportedly came from Doug Lair (whose family sold Lair Petroleum to William Koch in 1989)[1] and the Lair Family Foundation. (The remainder was $1k from memberships, $40k from the American Tradition Partnership, and $5k from Atlas Economic Research Foundation).[14]

Here is a look at real-estate news in Wednesday's WSJ:
U.S. Sues Wells Fargo for Faulty Mortgages: The government sued Wells Fargo, accusing the biggest U.S. mortgage lender of "reckless" lending and leaving a federal insurance program to pick up the tab.
Being Gutsy Is Bringing Some Glory: The expected sale of a hulking, brick office tower in Midtown Manhattan is on track to net its seller the largest dollar profit to date on any single property that was purchased during the financial downturn.
Historic Florida Hotel Sits on Death Row: A group seeks $116.5 Million to rescue the shuttered Belleview Biltmore hotel, which was once a hot spot for rich and famous.
Austin Is Well as Dell Slims: The Austin, Texas, commercial real-estate market appears to be faring well, even with the vacating of one of its major tenants, Dell Inc.
Dogs Get Their Due: Apartment owners are adding canine amenities to lure tenants.
Europe Banks to Shed Assets: European banks are expected to increase the volume of commercial real-estate assets they bring to market as they prepare for new European Union capital requirements.
Plots and Ploys: Three bidders remain in the race to buy LNR Property LLC, the giant servicer of distressed commercial real-estate debt that was put on the sales block this summer, according to real-estate executives with knowledge of the sales process.
LNR Property LLC, the largest servicer of distressed loans in commercial mortgage-backed securities, on Tuesday took a new tack in defense of its methods to fix defaults on loans by increasing the transparency of practices often scorned by investors.
Tobin Cobb, LNR's charismatic co-chief who helped lead Deutsche Bank's commercial real estate group through the real estate boom, has been known to personally challenge analysts who publish notes questioning loan modifications by LNR. Now, with the firm up for sale and drawing bids of at least $1 billion, it is taking new pains to tell its side of the story.
LNR, which is engaged with more than $22 billion of distressed loans, and other "special servicers" have been criticized for going too easy on indebted borrowers or for conflicts of interest that undermine their job of representing debt holders when a loan goes into default.
Commercial real-estate investors thought they had it bad before, but the fallout from a December court decision is causing a new level of uncertainty.
The turmoil stems from a December decision dealing with a $207 million loan on a pair of Westin hotels. A bankruptcy court ordered that the loan's maturity be extended by an unusually lengthy period and its interest-rate slashed to zero, according to analysts. U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Eileen W. Hollowell in Tucson, Ariz., as part of a reorganization of borrower Transwest Resort Properties in December, ordered the troubled loan be extended by 15 years, to 2033, and increased the principal by $40 million. The judge also cut the interest rate to zero.
The problem for investors is that this extension is far longer than anything they've seen before.

Who else is doing this kind of work?
Most other seed banks around the world are concerned with conserving seeds of crop species.
A visit to the Global Crop Diversity Trust, Bioversity Internationaland FAO websites would help you to find out more about crop seed conservation. The Millennium Seed Bank Partnership (MSBP) has links to all three organisations and many crop seed banks. It is also a partner with the GCDT on the conservation of crop wild relatives.
In the UK, the UK Plant Genetic Resources Group draws together all of the agencies that are active in plant genetic resource conservation and use. The MSBP is represented on this group. A valuable source of UK information is the UK Portal on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture .
There is an increasing interest in the ex situ storage of the seeds of wild species and new partners join the Millennium Seed Bank Partnership annually. Information about the activities of the many MSBP partners can be found on our partners page. In Europe, the MSBP is part of the European Seed Conservation Network (ENSCONET ) which collaborates on the seed conservation of the European native flora.
Many countries have seed banks storing forest tree seed over the short-term. Some of these are MSBP members.

Complete IPod novice..
As the title suggests I am a complete novice where the IPod is concerned.....I don't actually have one but i'm about to take the plunge! Several questions....
1. Which is the best? I will mainly use it at home plugged in to my Pioneer Amp, sound quality is my main priority.
2.Sound quality...apart from ITunes where can I get music from which will be of a high quality 'bit' wise?
3. Can I rip cd's on to it?
4.I have a big collection of home made cd's which have mp3's on.....can I convert these and put them on an IPod and, if so, how?? I have a laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate.
If you have no interest in video MP4 the classic will do otherwise a Touch
Don't think Itunes does quality above 320kbps but a Google will give you high quality downloads from the likes of Linn etc.
Yes you can rip cd's via Itunes or another media player or via EAC (exact audio copy) them import them. Lots of ways to do it.
Files on a Ipod dont need to be Apple lossless or whatever it will play MP3 so you coiuld just import them. Obviously a lossy file AAC/FLAC (IPod doesn't play FLAC) will use up more space but be better quality.
kena:Don't think Itunes does quality above 320kbps but a Google will give you high quality downloads from the likes of Linn etc.
It does. As long as you are in the right format. I have hundreds of CDs ripped to Apple Lossless at around 1000kbps plus some HD files at 4600 kbps. iTunes on computer will play them all but the iPhone will not play the HD tracks. I assume the pod/touch will be similar.
With iTunes 10 (9.3+ I think) you can rip to Apple lossless and then when you synch to your iPod you can get the synch to transcode to MP3 (128/320 - can't remember, I'm not at home to check).
The PC that you run iTunes on can be set up to autorip any CD put in it into iTunes, and download the cover art - but beware of Collections, or Greatest Hits if you do this - they have a habit of all getting bundled together, and might need to be unpicked...
Classic gives more audiophile output (less noisy electronics). Touch has the advantage of all those nice HiFi gadget controlling apps, like for the Sonos, latest Pioneers, etc.
Thanks guys, looking at one of the new Ipod Touch 4th gen, seems to have more features and conectivity than the classic
Got to be a touch...
That's what I figured JD - I think it looks a lot better too. I've resisted the 'forbidden fruit' for long enough!
I've found sound quality excellent (contrary to some on here), and the additional functionality is worth the extra you pay over the lesser models ten times over.
I think you've help me make my mind up. Thank you
Pity the icontrol app doesnt work on our amps grdunn.
I had noticed that! maybe they'll figure out an app for ours..
I downloaded the app onto my touch it is very smooooth lovely to work dont know if you would actually use all the features that often. Then imagine you had ipad!! oooooooohhhhhhhhh!! If you get a touch download it. It has a demo feature on it. I sadly cant see pioneer going back to produce an app for their older models, would be nice though
Might be worth a question to Apple....you never know!! If you don't ask then you generally don't get
Just bought an I Pod Touch 32GB (4th Gen).....where do I get the best choice of Apps from?
Itunes. There is an app store on the website
Do yourself a favour.
1. Save up for Christmas.
2. Get an iPod touch 64GB.
3. Completely ignore all other iPods right now.

One of the best TV's i've seen and had.
The picture is impeccable and the sound is deep and well
equalized...But with most Sony stuff i believe
that they are over priced.
I did have a panasonic until it blew up after i spilt coffee down the black....dont ask me how.
so i bought this one instead as i got a tidy bonus from work.
Overall good tv
bit pricey tough…

I recently bought my new Sony KDL-40EX403 LCD TV from Richer Sounds with a free 5-year warranty (Price Match with John Lewis) for £499. The picture quality is fabulous with blacks being very dark and the standard definition picture is excellent - much better than the panasonic 32" it replaced. Sony's internet tv service which comes built into the TV is great and allows you to watch iPlayer, Demand Five and Youtube directly from the tv itself the quality from these on the TV is vastly superior… Read Full Review

The True Cost of High School Dropouts
In an Op.Ed. in the New

that although President Obama's announcement regarding compulsory education
until graduation or age 18 is a step in the right direction, evidence suggests that more effective

Gingrich makes some good points with his proposals on child labor, but he seems to present his positions in a way that many people find offensive. Putting poor children to work because, "they're not learning the work habit" in public housing projects is routinely condemned, but many of his critics, including some child advocates, say that both Gingrich's work and orphanage proposals have merit.
The lifelong benefits of adopting the hard work ethic at an early age are well documented, but wrapping it around 9.9 million single mother households with children under 18 is clearly not selling in Peoria!
In Spain, you have to study up to 18 but there is a high number of school failure, good education starts at age 8 when you enter the school, but fails from here and here.

Lindsay Lohan will have plenty of temptation just down the road when she goes to rehab on Long Island -- TMZ has learned, the nearest liquor store is willing to serve her anything she wants.
The owner of Six Corners Liquors -- just a quarter mile from Seafield Center -- tells TMZ, "If Lindsay came in we would treat her like a normal customer. If she wants to buy something of course we will allow her to buy something. I would never say no to her."
Of course, Lindsay is forbidden from leaving the facility once she starts her 90-day sentence on May 2nd -- and could be thrown in jail if she does -- but let's face it ... she's got a history of skipping out of rehab for field trips.
While the liquor store owner tells us he's "rooting for [Lindsay] to succeed and drink in moderation" ... he also says she can get a 20% discount if she buys a case of wine.
Enabling ... it's not just for Lindsay's family.
Alicia, You said "don't let her come in with a purse".
Don't let her come in with a cup, or Mr. Pink container. Now that NY has done away with Big Gulps. She'll have to get inventive. lol
she should have taken jail. Not only for the minimal time she'd be there and be done already, but for the ad seg. Here in rehab, she's in there just like anyone else. I think one of those girl's will take a swing at her when her attitude shows up in group and she won't participate and treat things like joke. Jail = away from people. Rehab = with people.
Do they deliver, eh? Take checks? Can they score some blow too? How about a pizza?
Linds will have the whole town jumping through hoops to keep her addictions going!
@Vinsetta...Don't forget this is the only attention Lohan gets. So she's going to milk it.
Look at the amount of time Sautner gave her to complete her court orders. Lohan could have knocked that out in maybe 6 months. No. She took the whole what 18 months and waited till like the day before fo finish. She hasn't stopped partying since.
Lohan pulled that because she was getting the tabloid attention. Without all of her bullshyt it would be Lindsay who?
I bet TMZ has some paparazzi idiot ready to camp out in the bushes across the street from the liquor store hoping to crossing their fingers that Lindsay gets caught walking in the store!!! Lame! !!!!!"
I'd venture to say that a good number of rehabs have liquor stores close by and the dope man around the corner...so?

Kate Moss has been the symbol of many stereotypes over the years, but the British supermodel is opening up in the latest issue of Allure magazine and setting the record straight.
Moss, 39, assumed her familiar role as cover girl in the August issue of Allure and tells the style magazine that being the face of the phrase was 'heroin chic' has always bothered her because allegations of illicit drug use are not true.
"I don't do heroin," says Kate. "Just because I wear a bit of black eyeliner that's smudged… it's just ridiculous."
However, Kate says that she is especially horrified by the rumors of anorexia.
"The anorexic thing was a lot more upsetting, to be held responsible for somebody's illness… I wasn't anorexic!"

Re: Ben Lively
Ha, as predicted, the puns have already started.
Says he topped off around 94 in college. Not sure what he's been clocked at in Billings. (But obviously whatever he's throwing, they aren't hitting. Extremely small sample size, of course.) I thought Buckley always got his "college pitcher steal" in the third round, not the fourth. Hey, I'll take it though. |

SPECIAL REPORT: Global Restructuring & Insolvency
The worst global recession in generations failed to produce the amount of insolvency work predicted, with lenders are still inclined to maintain their more valuable clients through re-financings and out of court restructurings. Restructuring and insolvency lawyers, however, are still dealing with the fallout of the financial crisis. While there has been a reduction in large filings and restructurings, and the market is enjoying increasing liquidity, firms are now tasked with staying up to date with the raft of laws and regulations implemented in the past few years in particular the extra layer of complexity added by Basels proposed rules on systemically important financial institutions.

ROUNDTABLE: Developing effective compliance strategies
All organisations face increasing ethics and compliance demands, and even the most sophisticated businesses may struggle to maintain compliance with todays growing multitude of regulations. The risks that corporations face change frequently and sometimes with dramatic speed. The success of any compliance strategy, therefore, depends on how well it is planned and implemented, and how well it responds to new standards. While compliance is an obligation of everyone within the firm, appointing a compliance officer can ensure nothing falls through the cracks. However, company-wide training is the key to instilling company ethics and disseminating a culture of compliance.

Industry's Climate Advocacy Goes Local2:15 PM MDT | September 17, 2009 | Kara Sissell The American Chemistry Council (ACC) has shifted its advocacy on federal climate legislation to the state and local level, including paid television and Internet spots and the micro Web site www.asmarterfuture.com. The campaign has shifted into high gear as U.S. Senate lawmakers prepare to take up climate legislation that will have to be reconciled with the bill passed last June by the House.

Josey Milner may only be 17 but this young country singer is on her way to international fame. Join us as we talk about what it takes to succeed at such a young age, what she has learned from her success and why she feels giving back is at the center of it all. The talented and wonderful Josey Milner steps out behind the microphone on this one hour special. 17-year-old country music artist Josey Milner bursted onto the international radio airwaves with her first release in September 2012, a cover version of Miranda Lambert's "Dead Flowers." The debut single from this Kansas City, MO native received airplay overseas in Belgium, Netherlands, Australia, UK, Austria, Germany, Denmark, Canada, Poland and Japan, while placing in the Top 10 of an internationally-recognized country music chart. Meanwhile, her Youtube video for another classic cover, Patsy Cline's "Walking After Midnight" has received more than 60,000 views. With recent performances at fairs and festivals in Kansas and Missouri, including a spot on the Missouri State Fair and an opener for country star Chris Cagle, this former teen rodeo and pageant princess is poised for stardom on the international country music stage.

St. Margaret Mary Alacoque
St. Margaret Mary Alacoque
1647 - 1690
Daughter of Claude Alacoque and Philiberte Lamyn, Margaret was born on July 22, at L'Hautecour, Burgundy, France, was sent to the Poor Clares school at Charolles on the death of her father, a notary, when she was eight years old. She was bedridden for five years with rheumatic fever until she was fifteen and early developed a devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. She refused marriage, and in 1671 she entered the Visitation convent at Paray-le-Monial and was professed the next year. From the time she was twenty, she experienced visions of Christ, and on December 27, 1673, she began a series of revelations that were to continue over the next year and a half. In them Christ informed her that she was His chosen instrument to spread devotion to His Sacred Heart, instructed her in a devotion that was to become known as the Nine Fridays and the Holy Hour, and asked that the feast of the Sacred Heart be established. Rebuffed by her superior, Mother de Saumaise, in her efforts to follow the instruction she had received in the visions, she eventually won her over but was unable to convince a group of theologians of the validity of her apparitions, nor was she any more successful with many of the members of her community. She received the support of Blessed Claude La Colombiere, the community's confessor for a time, who declared that the visions were genuine. In 1683, opposition in the community ended when Mother Melin was elected Superior and named Margaret Mary her assistant. She later became Novice Mistress, saw the convent observe the feast of the Sacred Heart privately beginning in 1686, and two years later, a chapel was built at the Paray-le-Monial to honor the Sacred Heart; soon observation of the feast of the Sacred Heart spread to other Visitation convents. Margaret Mary died at the Paray-le-Monial on October 17, and was canonized in 1920. She, St. John Eudes, and Blessed Claude La Colombiere are called the "Saints of the Sacred Heart"; the devotion was officially recognized and approved by Pope Clement XIII in 1765, seventy-five years after her death. Her feast day is observed on October 17.

My mother died in 2000 and she left a glass frame. In it there is a cloth with a heart on it. On top it says Agnus Del. On the bottom it says Relic of St. Margaret Mary,Gospel of the Holy Name, Gospel of St. John. The heart has like a fire on top with a cross in it and it also has like a thorn like reef around it and blood drops falling from it. Is this a real relic. It looks old.

Periodically through out time Jesus appears to the various members of the Human Race to remind them of his love for us and how he wants us to come to Heaven to be with him. What a disgrace that not many people can't even give him a thought or the time of day to thank him for what he does for us on a day to day basis.

At Villa La Estancia, the pampering begins the moment you walk through its doors. Prepare for a More
The Four Seasons Punta Mita Golf Course
Spectacular golfing awaits you amid a dazzling background of white sand, tropical flora and ocean views. More
Riviera Nayarit Overview
The wild and wonderful Riviera Nayarit, 180 miles of pristine beaches, lakes and rivers on the Pacific Coast of Mexico, offers a magical backdrop for your wedding trip. The area has some of Mexico's most spectacular scenery, a host of small towns and picturesque fishing villages, and a wide variety of accommodations ranging from seaside Bed & Breakfasts to ultra-modern chain hotels. You can establish honeymoon headquarters in one hotel and day trip to other towns, or you can rent a car and drive up the coast to discover the many beautiful, unspoiled places along the way.
Over 50 sun splashed beaches will warm your bodies and your souls. Several championship golf courses with ocean views await. You can go bird watching for rare species or fishing for marlin, tuna and sailfish. Try surfing or jet skiing in the ocean or relax beside a quiet lake or a rushing river. Hike through the lush rolling hills. This is the Great Outdoors at its finest. Riviera Nayarit is a natural paradise that has everything to make a honeymoon happy.
Begin in sophisticated Nuevo Vallarta, just a few minutes from the Puerto Vallarta airport, and travel up the coast. Here, there are three miles of wide beaches to sun on and a host of all inclusive hotels to choose from. The next town, Bucerias, has a charming cobblestoned main square, a long, wide stretch of beach and a cozy place to enjoy a meal, Mark's Bar & Grill. La Cruz de Huanacaxtle is a former fishing village with a modern marina and four miles of glorious beaches. The Punta de Mita area is surrounded by water on three sides. It is dotted with upscale luxury resorts that line the beaches. Try the tony Four Seasons or the exquisite St. Regis and you'll be pampered beyond belief. Further up the coast, Sayulita is an international surfers' paradise as well as the Riviera's "place to shop." Stock up on decorative folk art and handicrafts to decorate your new home. Many are made by the Huichol Indians who inhabit the area. "San Pancho," a local nickname for the town of San Francisco, and Lo de Marcos are two beachfront hideaways that you'll love. Stop for lunch in a restaurant by the sea and relax and swim until the sun sets. Waters are so clear here that you can watch marine life swim by without a mask! Another day, explore the seaside towns of Rincon de Guayabitos, El Capomo, Punta Raza and Chacala. The port of San Blas, with dramatic ruins from the 1600's, may be your last stop before you reach the state of Sinaloa border. Climb to the fort on the top of the hill to get a sweeping view of the coastline and breathe the fresh, balmy air.
The Riviera Nayarit is for couples who appreciate breathtaking natural beauty and fantastic beaches that you can make your own for a day or a week. Tranquility and the simple life reign but be assured that all the comforts of home and more are available everywhere. You'll love it all!

Personal branding: Don't forget to be interesting
- 4 Comments |
- E-mail |
So you have accounts with Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. You've got a blog about your interests. You're going to local networking events. Here's one other thing for your checklist: Are you boring people?
I recently spoke with Boston-based media and personal branding expert Dan Schawbel, who wants to remind job seekers that a job search is about more than just organizing data. It's also about making yourself interesting to potential employers. "The level of competition is just amazing," he says. "There are about five job seekers for every job available. You have to do a lot more to get noticed and use everything at your disposal."
Amid this level of white noise, one of the best ways to get noticed is to market yourself -- your personal brand -- as someone to whom other people want to listen. Here are three tips from Schawbel for creating a unified brand strategy to gain the rapt attention of hiring managers:
Provide a complete picture: A common mistake most people make is that they sign up for the Big Three social net sites (LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter) but don't bother to add certain elements, such as a photo or their interests and hobbies. For instance, on LinkedIn (which about three quarters of hiring managers say they use to find quality candidates) it's especially important to fill out every possible detail about what you've done to help out your previous employers.
"A lot of people just copy and paste the bullet points from their resumes and add the years they worked at each job, but they don't the right language to describe their accomplishments," he says. "It's a keyword game on LinkedIn, and you have to add as many as you can."
If you link your social nets to a personal blog, be sure to write about current topics within your specific field. And while controversy can be a bit risky, don't be afraid to include some of your own opinions. "You have to make [hiring managers] interested," Schawbel says. "You have to show them you understand what's moving out there and what's relevant."
Get serious: Sites like Facebook are obviously a fun way to connect with your friends and colleagues. But don't forget that your basic profile can be seen by just about everyone and that there are some parts of your personal life that hiring managers won't find amusing.
"If you're using Facebook for job leads, you should have at least one professionally done picture of yourself," he says. "You look on some Facebook pages and they're using the Joker from Batman or Homer Simpson for their profile photo."
If you think Schawbel is being a Grinch about a little harmless fun, consider this sobering thought: "One in five hiring managers say they use Facebook as a serious tool to check up on candidates," he says. "More often than not, they're using the site to weed them out." Suddenly, those drunken photos at the bar don't seem so funny.
Translate to the real world: As wonderful as social nets are for connecting quickly with large groups of people, they only get you halfway there. You have to follow up contacts with face-to-face meetings. "A lot of new job seekers don't know how to create business relationships," Schawbel says. "You have to be aggressive and communicate clearly. It's like going to a cocktail party. You have to show that you care about what other people are talking about."
Schawbel cites a recent survey showing that 64 percent of recent hires said they got their last job through traditional networking contacts while only 7 percent were hired through online social nets. "Conducting a job search only through technology is just foolish," he says. In fact, he doesn't even like the term "job search." "I prefer 'people search,' because that's a lot more accurate description of what you have to do," he adds.
To gain attention, you have to be the one to seek people out and make them want to talk with you. Schawbel recommends listing the top five companies you want to work for and seek out those people who work in that field. "Twitter is the easiest way to get noticed," he says. "Start following people at the company on Twitter and 're-tweet' their messages as much as you can. Show how you can help them, not the other way around. If you tweet every day, odds are you'll build a following yourself."
Once hiring mangers start looking at your Twitter stream, you have to seal the deal. "Send a direct message to a hiring manager on Twitter about your common interests," he says. "That might turn into an e-mail, which may turn into a phone call and maybe an interview."

Schawbel is right on point when he says not to rely on technology only during, as he says, a "people search." It should be part of the process though.
I would be wary of this "branding" idea of searching for work. To me, it is PR and Marketing people cleverly finding another market for their services. I don't really think we each need to "brand" ourselves.
We want to show our ability to fit in and work well with others, not show we are our own brand.
We really want to work for an organization whose values align with our values, and the work in meaningful and interesting, right?
However, be careful here too. As I read all this advice, it is about what we (the job--person--seeker) wants. Most people are not really interested in what we want, they are more interested in what they want or what you can do for them.
I suggest having information in written form to hand to someone telling them what you can do for them because they (hiring managers)talk to too many people and the out is sight out of mind maxim might apply.
This easily could be in the form of a good resume or mini resume. It's tough going to networking functions where everyone is looking for what they can get for themselves. You might think of going with the mind set of what you have to offer.
Consider the problems and needs of others and find a way to solve or satisfy those problems and needs. I guarantee you that people will find you interesting if you talk in terms of their interests, problems, and needs.
Change your approach and mindset. Help them insead of finding out who can help you.
I'd also be weary of recruiters, they really don't do hiring; however, they do have contacts. Yet, you can establish your own contacts with a bit of effort on your part. Finding work is really more about effort on your part than on anything else.
Speaking of effort and solving other's probems and needs, come to our workshop and exert some effort that will go a long way in helping you find work.
We have a "role up your sleeves" workshop on this type of approach towards resume writing on Wednesday July 29, 2009 in Federal Way, WA at the Best Western Emerald Suites Hotel located at I-5 and South 320th St.
You will develop an excellent communication product to put into the hands of hiring managers.
It is only $39.99 per person because we can do it in a group. It's the power of scale. If you were to come to us individually, we would--and do--charge between $400.00 and $650.00 to write a special resume.
In this workshop, we will show you how to do it yourself because Nobody Can Write Your Resume Better Than You, not even us. (We do it for the busy person who just doesn't want to learn to do it her/himself).

Great tips and very nicely written! Social networking will soon become the most effective way of building your professional career and creating a personal brand. However, one will have to invest time in learning the effectiveness of these sites and ways to use them properly.
By the way, I am new to LinkedIn and have found this resource quite useful. It is a new book called "How to REALLY use LinkedIn" by networking expert Jan Vermeiren. Check it out, you can find a free lite version at http://www.how-to-really-use-linkedin.com/
SPOT ON! You most certainly have to brand yourself in today's marketplace - even if you work on a team, we are all individuals and are best at our own individual successes - are are not worker ants and it's great to use social media marketing to do that - and check out profiles of some great people, like Dan and also Guy Kawasaki. Good luck and thanks!
I think Dan is spot on. I think people misinterpret brand and branding all the time. When surveyed most people get the concept of brand and branding mixed up and have a lot of garbage attached to the terminology.
The brand resides in the mind of someone else. You have one whether you like it or not. Good or bad. Its there because people are making judgments and making impressions without even opening their mouth or their URL. No URL says something about you just as much as being quiet at a meeting does.
The brand (in this case a personal brand) is the associations or attributes people assign to you when your name comes up.
Are you funny, intelligent, kind, spiritual,etc. So for a job your personality plays a large role in defining the personal brand. People will want to know what it will be like to work with you. After we like someones personality we tend to evaluate their character or value system and then we want to know what they can do for us or what they have done before(which is known as their unique genius). It should be noted I only mentioned a few dimensions here because CONTEXT defines the dimensions important to someone.
The personal brand dimensions for someone seeking a romantic relationship would be different from a job of course. We look for different things because the context is different for the relationship and expectations we have of them. Just like a service or product we are evaluating to buy dictates the important dimensions we will evaluate it on.
The brand is basically a shortcut to allowing someone to make a purchase decision in a complicated world of information we live in. Its our GUT feeling about someone or something. The part called BRANDING is the actual materialization of the brand. These are called branding signals. Your facebook page, dress attire, posture, speech, confidence level, or any other indicator people use to ascertain something about you is a branding signal. If your signals are off then so is your brand.
If you want to learn new and innovative ways to build your brand check out our new meetup group.

Neither KF nor his agent can reasonably believe that having KF's name tossed about can possibly make him more money - at least at iowa. He's more likely burning bridges there as a decent portion of the fanbase is already calling for him to be let go - plenty more rumbling about it all. How could he possibly expect to get more money out of any of this? Unless he's genuinely interested in going somewhere else.
Iowa just picked up a 3rd recruit this week, and has reportedly been telling recruits that there is no way he's leaving Iowa. FWIW
The artist formerly known as SouthernHawk
No, I really don't think it is. Schiano was offered 2.2 to go to Miami last year, but turned it down. I'm sure the terms were at least that for the Michigan job. Both pay significantly more than he's currently making. Michigan can afford to pay as much as anyone in the nation. They play in the Big 10, and have way more money at their disposal than Iowa does. Hell their gate alone is 30-40k more fans per game than Iowa's. That job is just not very attractive to the current slate of 'worthy' coaches at the moment, and I really don't think it has anything to do with the compensation package at this point.
Originally Posted by everyyard Jamie Pollard told me that Michigan has not contacted him to speak with Ferentz. Since Iowa State owns Ferentz I would be very surprised if Pollard didn't get contacted prior to Ferentz interviewing. If Michigan did interview Ferentz without first contacting Pollard should we be ticked off?? I know I would be. This is excellent! Mind if I use it?
Originally Posted by mwitt I don't want or think Ohio State will win, but let's be honest. How funny would it be if Les Miles lost to Ohio State in a game in which he was favored, and then he was hired by Michigan? Maybe he will only be hired if he beats OSU.
CFH HMagic bball season. Let my fred's Four Horsemen ride.
Well that story works today. Monday may be a different scenario. Which 2 stars committed this week?
I don't see why Ferentz would want to leave. Afterall, the guy is making a boatload of cash, he's treated like a god everywhere he goes in eastern iowa, and all of this for what, a .500 season? Heck, thats easy money.

Thursday, August 21, 2003 QUIET: Research In Progress... You turn up find the damndest stuff on the web. Found this one searching for, yup-you-guessed-it, more shit about self-esteem. I met Zappa once, around oh let's see... musta been 1967. He showed up at my place after a concert in upstate NY, which consisted of him flipping off the audience, yelling "Fuck you, Rochester!," turning his back on everybody and playing non-stop for two hours. No songs; the Mothers just cooked. Then he flipped off the audience again and split. He asked me: "So where do you think the Hippie Movement is headed?" Even though I was smoking a joint at the time, or perhaps because of this, I could hear the Initial Caps. Hell, I could see them. Frank wasn't always what you'd call Real Nice. But at least I got easier than the guy below. This brief clip is from Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion... In the 1960s, Joe Pine, an acerbic conservative TV talk show host, had as his guest the longhaired rock musician Frank Zappa. Pine was prone to surliness, which a leg amputation-- he wore a wooden prosthetic--may have exacerbated. As soon as Zappa had been introduced and seated, the following exchange occurred: Self-Esteem: Don't Leave Home Without It! 6:18 PM | link | |
