So many photo portfolios to get excited about this week. The latest is Brad Elterman's photo career which started way back in 1974, when the 16 year old Brad borrowed a friends camera and snapped a shot of Dylan performing on stage. Since then, he's been riding the gravy train on cheese wheels; one sex, drugs, and rock and roll infused photo feast, where Brad has had the amazing opportunity to photograph just about every rock/ punk/ pop legend to grace the stage and my highschool bedroom walls. From The Faces with our man Rod, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, The Sex Pistols, Devo, Talking Heads, The Runaways, Joan Jett, Kiss, Blondie, the Ramones, The Who, even Sean's favorite band Abba…the list goes on and on. This guy has serious cred. Dipping his beak into just about every rowdy Hollywood party, Brad has made stellar contributions to magazines like Rolling Stone, Creem, Circus, etc. He was eventually hired to do official publicity photos by major record labels before forming one of the first Los Angeles-based photo agencies, California Features International, Inc. which specialized in providing celebrity coverage to magazines and newspapers worldwide.
Brad's photos provide a rare, often raunchy glimse into rock and roll history where it seems Brad is always at the right place at the right time, camera ready. There is even a photo of Dylan posing with a young Deniro at The Roxy in 1976! and Brad, by some alignment of the planets, was some kid with a camera. There might be a better chance of quadruplet albinos being born under a solar eclipse, than a cosmic opportunity like that happening again in a young photographers career.

L' Officiel
In their June/ July 2009 issue, French fashion magazine, L' Officiel did a beautiful eight page feature of my seventies photographs. I flew to Paris to meet the editors and was so moved with the way that they embraced my seventies paparazzi style of photography. It is incredible how this type of photography is so "in vogue" today. I definitely plan on spending more time in Paris this year. I will keep you posted! My next stop will be to shoot a Gucci ad seventies paparazzi style. Thank you Emmanuel Cossu and the entire L'Officiel team!!

Brad Elterman: Then and Now
A little Q&A follows.
How did you get started in the paparazzi business?
I was not always a paparazzo. I shot for all of the record companies and rock magazines. I was friends with many of the bands and we all hung out. Back in 1975 I wanted to take photos of David Bowie while he was in L.A and I was turned down by the publicist. Bowie was such a provocative figure back then and every move he made was controlled by his management and PR.

I was contacted by Basel artist Marco Pittori inquiring if he could use my "Behind The Beverly Hills Hotel" as inspiration for one of his modern conceptual paintings. I agreed and I flew to Basel to join Marco for a group show at at Gallerie Thoma & Thoma May 2007. The show was a big success and we became instant friends. We hope to do future shows together in Europe and Los Angeles.

The Birth Of Buzz Foto
The big news is that I am back in the photo agency business once again. I started Buzz Foto with my brilliant business partner, Henry Flores. Henry has been in the industry for years and we make a wonderful team. This agency is all about making iconic photographs of celebrities for magazines and newspapers.
We studied the market before we started Buzz Foto and came to the obvious conclusion that Paparazzi is what the magazines want these days. It is evident that when executed properly and professionally, this is an expectable form of journalism and it is not going away anytime soon.
We promised ourselves that we would strive to have our photographers make beautiful iconic photographs which would have the potential to hang on the walls of MoMA one day next to the works of Walker Evans, Helen Levitt and Bresson. That is how we came up with Buzz Foto's "Paparazzi As An Art Form" and we are about to produce our very first "Paparazzi As An Art Form" photo exhibition in Los Angeles. We hope that it will be the first of many.
Last fall, Henry and I were invited to speak in New York at the Apple Store, SoHo where we shared with the capacity crowd the stories behind our photographs. The showcase featured my seventies and eighties photos and covered all of the modern work that Henry does daily with Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Ritchie.

MT. VERNON – One bad inning cost the Lady Rams softball team heavily Monday.
Mt. Vernon yielded nine runs in the fourth frame to Herrin and lost 11-4 Monday."The bottom line is we had a bad inning, and we've had a few of those this year where we just can't get it solved and can't make plays," Mt. Vernon coach Lance Boldt said. "You have to tip your cap to them because they put the ball in play and made things happen."The Lady Rams entered the fourth inning up 4-0, but the Tigers knocked five hits and took advantage of some Mt. Vernon miscues, during the rally. All five hits from Herrin were singles, but the Lady Rams committed three errors in the inning to keep the barrage going.Herrin's Taylor Winn finished the scoring with a two-run single to make the deficit 9-4."You give a team six, seven outs in one inning like Herrin, they're going to capitalize," Boldt said. "And they did."Mt. Vernon dominated the opening portion of the game, piling up four early scores against Winn.Page Clinton and Kelby Kujawa started the game with singles. Clinton came in to score on a fielder's choice. Malorie Garner made the advantage 3-0 when she rapped a two-run single.Clinton upped the lead to 4-0 for the Lady Rams when she rocked a second inning solo home run over the left field fence."Page is such a catalyst for us," Boldt said. "She makes things happen."After Clinton's home run, Winn retired 18 straight Mt. Vernon batters.Despite the loss, the Lady Rams did get a bit of good news. Haley Lockhart, who was the team's starting shortstop last season, received her medical release. The Mt. Vernon senior has been sidelined from sports since an ACL injury and subsequent surgery during the winter."I know that she's released, but we have to make sure we're not going to do anything that's going to hurt her or put her college basketball career in jeopardy," Boldt said. "But if she feels good at the plate and she feels comfortable and her knee's not bothering her at all, then we might be able to use her at the plate."Mt. Vernon is 6-11 this season and hosts Carbondale today.

I was badly in need for an effective fire extinguisher for the apartment building I own as well as my house. Google was the one who showed me Nationwide Fire Extinguishers. It didn't take much time for me to see that they have a lot of products similar to what I had in mind. I got the extinguishers adequate for both the apartment and my house and that too without wasting time. Moreover, I found an online store where I could return again when I need any fire safety equipments. It was easy to browse and gave me a lot more ideas for protecting my buildings from fire.

First, let me say it has been an honor to serve you as a Howard County commis-sioner this past year. Serving as one of your county executives, my No. 1 focus has been managing taxpayer money in a fiscally responsible way.
I want to share with you some of the successes we have been having in county government, as a result of many hard-working folks:
• We are debt-free. As a Republican, this is probably one of the things I am most proud of.
• We now have an approximate $9 million surplus.
• We built our "rainy day" fund from zero to $2 million.
• The merged city-county dispatch saves county taxpayers $700,000 per year.
• All $860,000 in GM back taxes collected were returned directly to the taxpayers.
• Our county tax rate is 18 percent below our five closest county peers.
• We restructured our workman's compensation insurance for an opportunity to save up to $100,000 in 2014.
• We have reduced spending in many areas.
• We have instituted an employee wellness program that will reduce future insurance costs.
• We approved the new mass notification system for community emergencies to begin in 2014.
• We completed renovations and increased capacity at the jail, with no tax increase.
• We raised in excess of $250,000 with a commissioners' property tax sale.
The following are important economic development projects we worked hard for:
• The Darrough Chapel sewer project is now complete.
• Twenty-three businesses located in downtown Kokomo as a result of downtown business grants.
• We assisted in the Russiaville Community Center and sewer project.
• We funded a grant for the Bona Vista Job Program for individuals with disabilities.
• We continued our financial support of the county 4-H program.
• We supported the YMCA building project.
• We completed the Kitty Run Drain project and other major drain and tile work.
• We supported the Nickel Plate Trail system extension to Kokomo.

Tactical Blunders
I couldn't care less that Bush got his picture taken flying over New Orleans after Katrina. That's what politicians do. Just like I'd prefer that Governor Schwarzenegger fly over our wildfires rather than stand in them. It also didn't matter to me that Bush wasn't instantly on the ground getting his picture taken while pretending to hand out ice. But there was something about Bush's response to Katrina that did bother me—oh, yeah, it was that he didn't have one. Nor did the former dildo salesman he appointed to head FEMA. In other words, I get far more angry when politicians don't do their jobs than when they get their pictures taken pretending to do somebody else's.

Florida New Child Support Guidelines Attorney
Escambia County Lawyer Explaining the New Florida Child Support Guidelines
In the state of Florida, child support payments are generally determined by statutory guidelines. Both parents' income, the number of children in the family and certain expenses, such as daycare and health insurance premiums, are put through a child support calculation formula to determine the amount one parent must provide to care for his or her children. In fact, Florida law has recently been amended with respect to how child support will be calculated beginning October 1, 2010.
At the law firm of Stephen T. Holman, P.A., in Pensacola, we work with family law clients to ensure child support based on the state guidelines truly fits their needs. With decades of experience, our attorneys have come to recognize not every situation fits the "norm." We strive to help our clients secure a child support order that adequately and accurately meets their specific circumstances.
To discuss your child support needs, contact our law office for a free initial consultation.
Is it possible to modify child support payments?
Modification of an existing child support order is possible if a significant change in circumstances has occurred. By way of example, the court may grant a change to child support if a parent has lost a job, experienced significant economic gain, is spending a different amount of time with their child, or a child has new financial needs. Modification is often applicable in relocation matters.
Whether you wish to petition the courts for a modification of child support or want to take a stand against a possible change, do not hesitate to contact the law firm of Stephen T. Holman, P.A., for a free consultation with a knowledgeable child support lawyer.

So you've got the girl attracted and she's fairly comfortable with you. Then inevitably she starts to bring up her problems which usually involve either insecurity about her looks or relationship problems with her friends. At this point you cant really be funny anymore because you come off as shallow and insensitive. I guess then you can try to relate to them but they usually get pissy or just brush off your opinion/advice. So I'm not really sure what to do at this point. Any advice?
How to talk to women when they start bringing up their problems?

Lewis Cassidy turns his life around with help from trust
11:00am Tuesday 27th November 2012 in News
A YOUNG man who turned his life around with help from charity The Prince's Trust was crowned winner at a royal awards ceremony.
Lewis Cassidy, 22, hit rock bottom a few years ago when drug and alcohol abuse saw him on the streets.
Homeless for six months, he spent time sleeping on the streets or bunking down on the couches of friends.
His life was spiralling out of control and he was unable to attend college or get a job.
The former Rainford High pupil's health was also in serious jeopardy.
But after getting help he changed his ways and the turnaround was capped by him lifting the British Land Flying Start Award in The Prince's Trust & Samsung Celebrate Success Awards, held at FACT in Liverpool.
It recognises young people who have overcome challenges and have gone on to secure a job.
Lewis' change came after he was referred to The Prince's Trust Team programme by a local youth worker.
It helps young people gain key workplace skills and confidence.
As the course progressed, Lewis, from Eccleston, realise that there were people who cared, which provided the motivation for him to change.
Beating his addiction and his demons, he came to appreciate the values of teamwork, leadership and graft.
He has gone on to become an apprentice electro-mechanical engineer and is a regular volunteer with a youth organisation.

A collection of artwork created by children in Gaza immediately after Israel's attacks in the winter of 2008-09 (Operation Cast Lead) will be shown at Pennsylvania's Swarthmore college in April.
As I reported back in September for The Electronic Intifada, the exhibiton — entitled "A Child's View From Gaza" — was slated to show at the Museum of Children's Art in Oakland (MOCHA) on 8 September but was canceled at the last minute after intense intimidation from local and national Israel lobby groups.
The Berkeley-based Middle East Children's Alliance, which sponsored and helped curate the exhibition, was finally able to secure an alternative gallery space (around the corner from MOCHA) where the artwork was displayed through November. Because of the publicity that this outrageous censorship effort generated, the gallery attracted hundreds of visitors — and the attention of other venues across the US and across the world who want to show the exhibition.
The Phoenix, Swarthmore's newspaper, reported on 2 February that the exhibition is being co-spondored by Students for Peace and Justice in Palestine (SPJP). The article added:
Daniel Hirschel-Burns '14, a Jew and active member of SPJP, does not understand how anyone could have blocked the exhibit. He said that the images were "powerful" and "far more disturbing" than he could have imagined.
"To not feel anything after seeing these pictures, and to think that they are purely a political statement, I think, is missing the point. These are just children and they suffered terribly," he said. "Even if you are pro-Israel and you believe that Operation Cast Lead was a strategic move that Israel had to make, not allowing the suffering of these innocent children to be exhibited is pretty incomprehensible."
The exhibition opens at Swarthmore on 6 April.

You can view it at:
Scott Cullen of TSN has once again "graced" us with his Off -Season Gameplan for the Dallas Stars.
Inside, he's also included a link to his proposed lineup, courtesy of Cap Geek. And it's an awful one!
Basically, he's suggesting that we add David Jones of Colorado as our 2nd line winger/top 6 addition, while keeping Morrow in the top 6 and having the rest stay pretty much the same. Offensively, we'd sign 2 depth forwards in John Mitchell and Joey Crabb, and the Burish's of the team would depart via free agency. He sees Vincour staying as our 4th line LW, with Matt Fraser being the lone rookie to join the pro squad, possibly sitting as our scratched 13th forward.
Our defense would feature an $8,000,000 man in Ryan Suter, and we'd let Souray walk. Pardy would be our 7th man, with Fistric joining the defense corps FT.
While I'd welcome the additions of Jones and Mitchell or even Crabb (for depth), I'm not sure they're our only options. Jones could be a nice addition, but I also think that we need another top 6 addition, either via trade or free agency (Semin, Parise). Another option- and a distant one at that- would be to sign Jaromir Jagr to a 1 year deal.
I think that while we'd be wise to try, we're highly unlikely to sign Parise this summer. NJ would be foolish to let him walk, but if he does, I think he'll go somewhere for a term that is beyond what the Stars would likely offer.
I'm not saying we're chalk full of elite offensive talent in the system, but with Chiasson, Smith, Stransky, Ritchie, Vincour and Guptill possibly vying for a sniff in the next few seasons, we should be looking at shorter term options. I'd really like to see players signed to deals in the 2-4 year range, so that when the time comes, we can give opportunity to those seeking it. By that time, Ryder should be in the last year of his contract and we'll have some more room to accomodate. I've never been a fan of adding to a team without making room for the additions. And unless we can somehow steal away a young, talented forward, such as a Bobby Ryan or a Matt Duchesne (dream on), I would prefer if the Stars front office brass avoids the long-term contract additions.
My priorities would be:
1) extend Mr. Benn's contract. Immediately!
2) offer Souray a 1-2 year deal in the ballpark of less than 3 mill per season.
3) trim the fat. Move the Robidas, Morrow, Fiddler, Nystrom contracts if possible and try sending Pardy to the minors. Maybe someone would claim him, if he'd have to clear waivers (does anyone know if he would?).
* in doing so, could we acquire some mid/late round draft picks or depth forwards?
4) I'm not sure how likely this is, but perhaps Joe should try to either move up in the draft, or acquire an additional pick. I'd like to see a guy like Grigorenko or a center fall, or even a guy like Cody Ceci get taken. But wouldn't it be nice if we could get a center in the top 10 AND get Ceci (Ceci and Oleksiak could be a top pairing for us someday perhaps).
What do you guys think?

UPDATE: The Jackson Mayor's Office has told us that repairs have been made on the six water main breaks as of today. Boil water notices are normally issued out of precaution and will be lifted after two (2) days of clear sampling of the water.
Jackson city workers are battling another water main break tonight. Crews are working through the night at the corner of Bienville and Suncrest Drives in South Jackson. We're told this is the eighth major break in the Capital City since Tuesday.
We found out about these water main breaks tonight. Residents in areas across the city are under a precautionary boil water notice.
Those areas affected include Petit Bois, Avery Circle, Whitworth Street, Forest Park Drive and River Oaks Place.
These residents will remain under a precautionary boil water notice for at least two days. That's because the city must have two consecutive days of clean water testing results. At the minimum that means the precautionary boil water notice could be lifted on Friday.
We talked with the city's Public Works Director. Dan Gaillet tells News Channel 12 these water main breaks are not only a result of old and corroded pipes but because of all the rain we had this week. The ground is so saturated and it's causing the pipes to shift.
"We're working to fix others in the city and we're dealing with the major ones first," explains Gaillet.
If you are under this precautionary boil water notice city leaders urge you not to drink tap water or use ice from your freezer (if you don't have a filter). You can cook or wash dishes, but you must boil the tap water for at least one minute before using it. We're told bathing is safe as long as the water is not swallowed.
Also, we want to let you know that the precautionary boil water notice has been lifted for North State Street and Gary Road Elementary.
In an email from the Mayor's Office, it states that the cause of the recent increase in water main breaks are:
Water main breaks can happen for a variety of reasons. Although main breaks can happen at any time during the year, most are likely to occur during extreme weather conditions. It is most common to see system leaks and main breaks when the weather is frigid, when both air and water temperatures drop. Air temperature at or below freezing causes the ground above a pipe to freeze - increasing external stress on a pipe. Hot, dry weather can also take a toll; ground shifts and the increased volume and pressure can also stress water mains.
Besides changes in temperature, other factors that contribute to breaks include:
· pipe material - most breaks occur in iron water mains. Water mains installed before 1980, are for the most part, made of iron. Iron is not a very forgiving metal and has a tendency to crack when it expands or contracts due to temperature changes. Recent weather extreme experienced: extended dry, high temperature days for September (almost 20+ days) to wet, cooler temperatures for the past 6 days.
· soil erosion - a previous pipeline break, excavation or nearby construction activity often erodes soil around water mains, which can cause breaks.
· corrosion- older pipes are not lined and will corrode inside and outside.
· age -the break rate for pipes increases after 60 years (i.e., Fondren/ Belhaven area).
· human factors - contractors, utility workers or homeowners can unintentionally hit a pipe with a shovel, back-hoe or other heavy equipment or hydrants are opened/closed too quickly causing water hammering.
Additionally, Jackson is plagued by Yazoo Clay which bloats when wet and shrinks when dry. While water seeps through other types of soil, Yazoo Clay absorbs water swelling to 2-3 times its normal size. Yazoo clay extends in a 30-mile stretch across the middle of the state and Jackson sits directly in the middle of it. While Yazoo clay can contract and expand with ease, our water mains cannot.
Will this problem worsen?
This problem will not worsen, but it will persist due to Yazoo clay. When the weather stabilizes, we will see a decrease in the amount of breaks.

Lancashire man creates Victorian apothecary travelling bar (From This Is Lancashire)
Lancashire man creates Victorian apothecary travelling bar
12:00pm Wednesday 19th February 2014 in News
A LANCASHIRE man has come up with a novel new business idea by looking to the past for inspiration.
Mark Andrews, 29, a former student of Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School in Blackburn, has combined his love of vintage with his background working in events to create a pop-up Victorian-style Apothecary Bar, which he hopes will soon be appearing all over Lancashire.
The bar and the products it serves have been styled around a Victorian Wild West apothecary theme, from staff uniforms, props and decor to the actual ingredients, spirits and cocktails.
Mark set up the business through the Prince's Trust.
Mark, who lives in Mellor, said: "I was in London working in events for a while, and I have an interest in vintage.
"I just thought it would be a bit more exciting than your average bar for hire that you have at events. We put on a bit of a show.
"Back in the day an apothecary would create an elixir or 'cure-all' for customers after listening to their specific problems or worries. We've adapted that idea and made it purely pleasure based."
Mark has already started taking bookings for the bar, which is aimed at the wedding, events and festival market.
He said: "It's starting to take off."

In my final semester of school, I juggled four classes, three jobs, and an internship. Did I mention that I also had a social life?
Hi, I am an overachiever and unemployment is crushing my soul. How are you?
Lucky for me, my job search has become a great way to channel my inability to sit still. As it turns out, I am not the only grad in America who needs a job. So, I thought I would share these five tips to overachieving in your job search.
1. Network like a boss.
Unfortunately, I do not come from a "connected" family. I don't have an Uncle at a marketing firm—in fact, my Uncle thinks SEO is a disease. So, I have to create all of my connections. How does one do that? I tell everyone what I studied in school and what I want to do with my future. I request to connect on LinkedIn and I find professionals on twitter. I attend workshops and then ask the speaker out to lunch. I find people with connections and ask them to introduce us. Then, I offer to take them out to lunch too. If you're doing it right, you should be going out to lunch several times a week.
2. Practice, every damn day.
While my twitter account may seem like another youngster on the twitter, it is not. I take my tweeting very seriously, because it could land me a job. Every tweet I send, every article I read, and each blog post I write contributes to my professional credibility. I even offer free help to local businesses. That's right, I actually go into businesses and provide PR and social media advice free of charge. Because, you know what? They might know someone who is hiring.
3. Do like the mob: get organized.
I was a mess when my job search first began. I would open a million job tabs on my browser then become overwhelmed and close my laptop. Now, I have an excel spreadsheet. I repeat, I have an excel spreadsheet to help me keep track of potential job prospects. The spreadsheet also includes what positions are available and the date I applied if qualified. I even have a color-coded system for my favorite companies. This thing is nuts.
4. Revise, Rinse, Repeat.
My resume has gone through more revisions than I can count, and I can only imagine how many more it will endure. I have been revising my resume since my sophomore year in college and it is still changing. No matter how many times I fix it, there is always something that can be done or said better. For the love of God, please reread your resume before you send it! Even after ten people read my resume, I found little mistakes.
5. So I creep, yeah.
This last tip is borderline stalker status, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Okay, so there is this feature on LinkedIn that allows you to see who has looked at your profile. While not all users have this option on their profile, many do. I intentionally look at people's LinkedIn profiles in hopes that they will get curious and look at mine. It's like staring at someone; eventually they are going to stare back and ask, "What's your deal?"
So at this point you are probably saying, "Cool story bro, but aren't you still unemployed?" Very good work my dear Watson, but that is not entirely true. I have just secured a contracted position. And I swear to you, it took every single step above to land this position. Hopefully, my next post will be "How to go from contract to hire."

The 2013 Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show has been postponed indefinitely.
Reed Exhibitions, which organizes the show, says it made the decision after controversy surrounding its decision to limit the sale or display of military style assault weapons and high capacity magazines and clips. As of Wednesday, over 200 vendors had pulled out of the show. A Facebook page dedicated to boycotting the show currently has over 18,000 fans.
In a statement, Reed Exhibitions said the decision came after it became clear the event would no longer be able to provide the family enjoyment it was meant to.
"It is unfortunate that in the current emotionally charged atmosphere this celebratory event has become overshadowed by a decision that directly affected a small percentage of more than 1,000 exhibits showcasing products and services for those interested in hunting and fishing," wrote Chet Burchett, Reed 's President for the Americas, in a statement.
In a statement, Gov. Tom Corbett said that while the postponement of the show is a private business decision made by Reed Exhibitions, it is still a loss for the region.
"The Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show has had a large impact on Harrisburg's economy for years, drawing thousands of people to the area. It is a loss for the region and the many businesses that depend on the revenue it generates," Corbett wrote.
The show was scheduled to take place February 2-10 at the Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg.
The full statement from Reed Exhibitions is below:
"Our original decision not to include certain products in the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show this year was made in order to preserve the event's historical focus on the hunting and fishing traditions enjoyed by American families," said Chet Burchett, Reed Exhibitions President for the Americas. "In the current climate, we felt that the presence of MSRs would distract from the theme of hunting and fishing, disrupting the broader experience of our guests. This was intended simply as a product decision, of the type event organizers need to make every day.
"It has become very clear to us after speaking with our customers that the event could not be held because the atmosphere of this year's show would not be conducive to an event that is designed to provide family enjoyment. It is unfortunate that in the current emotionally charged atmosphere this celebratory event has become overshadowed by a decision that directly affected a small percentage of more than 1,000 exhibits showcasing products and services for those interested in hunting and fishing.
"ESS has long been proud to participate in the preservation and promotion of hunting and fishing traditions, and we hope that as the national debate clarifies, we will have an opportunity to consider rescheduling the event when the time is right to focus on the themes it celebrates."
Thank you for participating in our poll. Here are the results so far:

While my studio is a super spiffy apartment, it is lacking in a few basic amenities. Such as, an oven. Weird, right? I know. I moved in and was somewhat shocked to realize there was no oven! Just two burners, a microwave, and a sink. Oh and no dishwasher, either. So I was talking about it at work once, and then Camille, one of the girls I work with, brought me a box of Jello No-Bake Oreo Cake because she knew I didn't have an oven! It was really sweet of her. She's a doll.
So I finally decided to make it the other day because it was so warm out, and my kitchen was finally unpacked enough to make a mess without it being too much to handle.
I'm secretly a huge fan of desserts that come out of a box…I don't know why that is. And I love Jello. It reminds me of when I used to live in my sorority, and Kim, our cook, used to make sugar-free, fat free Jello desserts – but really good kind. My favorite was a raspberry one with this raspberry cream cheese/cheesecake Jello bottom, graham cracker crust, and a berry Jello gelée on top. Oh man it was to die for. Mmmm…
First, I made the crust. "It's so easy, a caveman could do it."
Just kidding.
But I'm not. It really is super easy.
Dump the crust mix in a bowl….
…and pour melted butter over the top.
It is my professional opinion that butter just makes everything good. I know I've said this before, but its darn near impossible to go wrong with a recipe that starts with butter.
Mash it all up so its a sticky consistency that you can press into a pie pan.
My pie pan was a little on the big side, so the crust didn't reach all the way up the sides…but oh well. That's the way the cookie (pie crust) crumbles sometimes.
To make the filling, I started with a couple cups of milk.
Poured the yummy Jello powder on top of the milk…
And then beat it with my favorite piece of kitchen equipment…my hand-held mixer. Good thing my grandma bought me a handheld one, now that I think about it, and not the countertop mixer, because I wouldn't have a countertop to put it on! Also, I'm holding out for a Cook for the Cure light pink electric mixer…my dream is to have a kitchen with all pink appliances. I'm just crazy like that.
So anyway, I beat the milk and the Jello packet together for about ten minutes, until the batter got thick enough to be completely mixed.
See those ripples? Mmm…
Since the recipe is Cookies & Cream, the next part of the recipe is to add the Oreo cookies to the cream! Oreos remind me of preschool. I don't know why. Probably because we never were allowed to have food like Oreos in the house growing up. That's why I have such a soft spot for true junk food now. It's still such a delicacy. Like Wonderbread. Or Jiff peanut butter. Once for Christmas, my parents bought me a loaf of Wonderbread and a bottle of Jiff, because I was that desperate to fit in with my Wonderbread- and Jiff-eating peers. I was always the weirdo who showed up to lunch with a sprout, tomato, cranberry sauce (homemade, of course) and turkey on pumpernickle rye sandwich. In the third grade. Oh the things that shape us into who we are today. Me, I'll always be a Pumpernickle who pretends to be a Wonderbread. But you can't deny your Pumpernickle roots.
Action shots are my favorite. By the way, this picture really shows just how wide my countertop is. And by wide, I mean narrow.
Spoon the filling on to the top of the pie crust…
…and smooth it out to the corners so that it looks like an actual pie.
Then you sprinkle the remaing cookie crumbs on top! It said to put them on after you took it out of the fridge, to serve it, but my kitchen is not big enough to be leaving half-emptied packets of Oreo cookie crumbs lying around. They would have been all over the floor in 2.35 seconds.
Then it goes in the fridge to set!
After it sets for a few hours, its good to go! Time to eat! YUM.
It's times like these I wish I had a dishwasher. Sigh.

John grew up on a farm just outside of West Bend, WI, with his parents and 5 siblings. The family of 8 has now grown to 22 including in-laws and nephews with 3 siblings still working on the farm where we enjoy helping as often as we can! Sarah grew up in her family of 5 on the south side of Milwaukee and went to school K-12 downtown (MPS) where she was considered a minority at her schools. The family, now of 9, loves to spend time together, especially at the family cottage in Door County. We are SO blessed to have such amazing families! From an early age our families were involved in our local Churches and faith has been an important part of our lives. We went to college at UW Madison, John majoring in Bio-Chemistry and Sarah as pre-med. St. Paul's was a significant part of our undergrad experience. As God worked in our lives we switched our majors to Religious Studies, became friends, and graduated in 2004. 2004 also included beginning as the Directors of Religious Education and Youth Ministry at St. Aloysius in Sauk City, getting married, and moving to Sauk Prairie. St. Al's brought us many wonderful memories, including leading our first Mission Trips, and numerous friendships over 6 years. In 2010, God called us to a new apostolate to serve our community. 6:8 aims to transform communities by making service personal through service experiences enhanced by education and exhortation hoping to embody Christ in the way we live. Our plan is to give all we have to the people we are serving with and for, so that first our community, can be transformed! We would love to have you join us!
My name is Heather Brooks and I currently live in Saint Paul, Minnesota with my husband, William, and our daughter, Adelaide. Right now, I am working for the Animal Humane Society in the Twin Cities, but we are preparing to move back to our hometown of Sauk Prairie this summer. This internship is so exciting because I've volunteered with 6:8 in the past and believe so fully in its mission. I'm looking forward to embracing a simpler lifestyle and really devoting my summer to service, especially in a community I already know and love. An interesting fact about me is that I sang for Pope Benedict XVI during Christmas Eve Mass at St. Peter's Basilica in 2008.
2013 Summer Interns
My Name is Benjamin John Hokamp. I am 23 years old and currently attend college in the pursuit of a Mechanical Engineering Major. I first applied for this internship because I was told I was going to learn a lot about leadership. Leadership has been an attribute that I have found quite an interest in the past two years. I graduated High School in 2008 from Assumption High School in Wisconsin Rapids where I lived my whole life. I have two brothers that are also in college and a sister that is a senior in high school. The thing I am most looking forward to this summer is being able to create and build. I also love to read and be inspired by quotes. A couple weeks back I read a good one from Howard Thurman. It goes like this, "Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." I like to work with my hands a lot and I feel that when I am able to do that to create or build, that is when I am most alive. So 6:8 I guess this summer I am most looking forward to coming alive because that is what the world needs me to do.
I born and raised Manitowoc, WI. I lived next to the beautiful Lake Michigan my whole life until I moved to Madison to be with two other great lakes for college. I am a sophomore at UW Madison where I am studying religious studies and sociology. I am involved in a lot of stuff at St. Paul's Catholic Church on campus. I teach catechism in Mount Horeb on Wednesdays with John Bosco Society, I am in a bible study, and some other students and I recently started a group called Vita Pura which promotes simple living, Catholic Community and care for God's creation. This desire for simple living is part of what interested me in the 6:8 internship. I also hope to do a lot of mission work in the future, so this seems like a really great place for me. I am super excited to go to Mississippi, I love doing hard work outside. There's nothing better than working with your hands and with your heart.
Jake Kruse
Hello! I'm known as Jake in the common tongue. I am from Madison, Wisconsin, though I grew up for the majority of my 19 years in Mount Horeb. I'm attending the UW Madison and I live with 25 men on Hoyt St. While that may sound ridiculous, I can honestly say it's much less chaotic then living with my 10 rambunctious siblings. I am very excited to learn how to live simply and to live in community this summer. Hopefully we'll be playing a lot of music, too!

Comparing the Snoopers
I guess that Ohio's inspector general doesn't take improperly accessing people's records as seriously as the St. Vincent Health System. What I find interesting is that those at St Vincent got fired because they just couldn't curb their curiosity. The little slap on the wrist by Gov Ted Strickland is really sickening. What he has done is made it plain that any citizen that makes a comment on any candidate will have their entire lives a subject of intense scrutiny. Anyone who investigates a citizen solely for the purpose of destroying them for a political purpose isn't going to be punished.
When someone speaks out, "Their government should then not try to discredit them and ruin their reputation by releasing information," [House Speaker Jon]Husted said. "You shouldn't want the government under anyone's control to do those kind of things to individual citizens."
Thanks, Ohio, for helping to kill free speech.

- Lose the musicPeggyDined on 8/30/2014The music was like bad Karaoke. Too bad and too loud. Distracting and just not necessary. Also the whole place was just too dark. I understand that they are trying to create a "mood" for the artwork, but they needed a few more candles. In spite of it all - the food was delicious - although the wine list (by the glass) was a bit sparse. And overall it was quite expensive.Special Features:
- FabulousswannyDined on 8/29/2014I have been to the Studio many times, and everytime it's great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quiet & elegant.JamesDined on 8/28/2014Combination art gallery and chef-driven gourmet food. Attentive service. Overall a great experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent dinnerTwofoodysDined on 8/27/2014We were vacationing at Hilton Head Island and tried a number of nice restaurants while we were there (I would say both my husband and I are 'foodies'). We both decided The Studio was the best experience of our trip. The hostess was friendly and gracious, the waitress was friendly and efficient, and the food was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at this restaurant. Having art work to view during and after the meal was an added bonus.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- jbjtDined on 8/26/2014My friend thought the restaurant looked like an office business not a restaurant. He did not like the soup and the steak was tasteless. He also found the background music irritating. I on the other hand loved the art, my soup was great and the sea food was fine. The vegetable was limp and overdone as it should be crispy. I would try again but he will not.
- One of a kind!Dondonme423Dined on 8/21/2014Been coming to HHI since '87. We found this gem about 5years ago and go back every year. Not for children, casual yet elegant , perfect for a special occasion or a romantic dinner for two. The menu has a great selection of spectacular entrees. The food is absolutely delicious especially the Artist's Palate! Their waiter, Alex was extremely personable, attentive and knowledgeable. You will not be disappointed!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect EveningOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/20/2014My husband and I recently dined at the Studio for my birthday. Per usual, the food was fantastic. My duck breast was cooked to perfection and the portion was so generous, I had it again for lunch the next day. My husband ordered the special pallet trio of filet, lamb and grouper. He reported his was exceptional, as well. Ambiance is charming; we love the owner's paintings hung on most walls. Service was attentive and personable.Special Features:
- Still a great restaurant, off nightHHIGuyVIPDined on 8/19/2014Our fourth time to the Studio in fifteen months---and not the best of the four. Seemed short staffed and rushed. We gave five stars out of five for our first three visits. An off night. A wonderful restaurant overall. Well worth your time. Hoping our next visit sees a return to the quality we enjoyed the first three. Cocktails were outstanding.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lives Up to its BillingJJFAVIPDined on 8/16/2014We had dinner there on 8/16/14. The restaurant was as described by the many patrons of Open Table. The artist at work at a canvas added to the ambience, and a guitarist played well-known standards softly in the background. Very nice. The food was also very good. We had the house salad (ample and well-prepared) and the rack of lamb, as our entree, was good, but with risotto and gravy. (We prefer mint with our rack of lamb.) However, my wife thought the risotto was the best she had ever had. For dessert, we thoroughly enjoyed the bread pudding with glaze (bourbon?) and a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top. Delicious! Also enjoyed the house pinot noir and a cup of decaf coffee with the dessert. We shall be back.Special Features:
- Nice spot...KphjrVIPDined on 8/16/2014We really enjoyed our evening at Studio. The restaurant is intimate with a musician playing guitar. The food was delicious! We had the palate trio (good when you can't decide), duck (wife really liked), tuna carpaccio (one of our best appetizers on Hilton Head - yum) and crab and vidalia onion soup (also good). Would have stayed for dessert... "Bananas Foster Bread Pudding", but to full. Next time!Special Features:
- Hidden TreasureLindaHHIDined on 8/15/2014Tucked away but worth the search. Great food (I chose a pricey combo)and setting. Only criticism was that live entertainment was promised, but there was none on a Friday night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DonMDined on 8/10/2014We brought our 7 and 3 year olds, and they were very accommodating to us. Quiet rainy evening, very attentive service and great food, and price was as expected. The filet was good quality and scallops big and seared correctly. Yes, decor is eclectic, but not offensive or bad taste as one reviewer stated. All in all, we'll do again without any hesitation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hidden gem. Excellent foodFoodisLifeDined on 8/6/2014Hidden neighborhood gem with excellent food and a unique menu. This is the 3rd time we've been and the 3rd time the food was exceptional along with the service. The chefs palate samplers are always unique and a solid play if you can't decide. The menu also offers many locally grown veggies and locally caught or raised fish and beef. Reasonably priced as well. You cannot go wrong here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best in Hilton Head!OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/31/2014Very nice find while on vacation in HH. Everything about our dining experience was excellent. Tried many local resturants but this was indeed the best! Food was prepared perfectly and staff was very attentive. Will return on our next trip to the island.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Hidden GemvegprincessVIPDined on 7/24/2014The Studio was a bit hidden, but we were delighted once we found it. The service was impeccable. The food was perfection. There were several vegetarian/vegan alternatives. Dessert was out of this world! Highly recommend!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Simply the Best!LRM1Dined on 7/19/2014This restaurant provided our family with the best dining experience of our ten day vacation. The atmosphere is warm and intimate, with tasteful live music and a resident painter creating a masterpiece right before your eyes. The dining room is an actual art gallery, and seats only about 20 people. The menu is eclectic, and includes five vegan entrees in addition to the traditional meat and seafood options. Our vegan family tried four of the five vegan entrees, and each one was simply amazing. We also enjoyed a delicious chocolate cheesecake for dessert. (vegan, but no one would ever guess!) The waiter was attentive and knowledgeable. Overall, one of the best dining experiences we have had anywhere, even before becoming vegan.Special Features:
- Treat yourself!MegruberDined on 7/17/2014Fresh, colorful, varietal dishes in an intimate setting. Great vegetarian/vegan options - the jambalaya is our favorite. Attentive & friendly staff. We drive over an hour just to eat here for date night!Special Features:
- What a findGolfnEatDined on 7/11/2014We have been going to Hilton Head for 30 years and thought we knew all the truly great places. We were wrong, we were very wrong. The Studio was absolutely awesome. Incredible food, great service, live entertainment, works of art - just unique and wonderful. The steak I had was possibly the best I have ever tasted. All the entre's were exceptional and the Crab and Vidalia soup was to die for. We will be returning. A new one on our top 10.Special Features:
- True ArtistryDestinDadDined on 7/10/2014One of the best meals we had on the island during our recent visit. Food was overall excellent and certainly unique. The tuna appetizer was the highlight of my meal, extremely flavorful and well presented. The only imperfection was the temperature of the grilled meats, I ordered medium-rare and instead found them to be medium-well. None the less, excellent flavors.Special Features:
- Very fineKygamaDined on 7/9/2014This very special boutique restaurant has great food and service. It was very quiet and relaxing. It would be great for a intimate special occasion or romantic meal.Special Features:
- The people are as good as the foodScottVIPDined on 7/8/2014This is a small restaurant that boasts an eclectic menu. Even when you think you know what you are ordering, the chef's take on it will still pleasantly surprise you. Lunonia (your Hostess) personally greets all diners. Her art hangs on the walls and she loves to talk about it. Our waitress, Amanda, was knowledgeable and friendly. I am not a vegetarian, but the menu boasts a good selection of these dishes. I am always tempted to go vegetarian for the day. I highly recommend The Studio.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FinediningDined on 6/25/2014one of our favorites on the island. A great place for a special occasion or just and evening of fine dining. The atmosphere is quiet and very comfortable with the owner's paintings on the wall and low light. Service is excellent with both the waitress and owner giving lots of attention to your dining needs and delivery of your order. The menu very exquisit with the "chefs tasting" menu a great value. The food is prepared to order and presented beautifully. All in all, a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommended.Special Features:
- Always a pleasure - great dining!foodsnobsDined on 6/20/2014As usual, the food was great. Owners and wait staff treat you as family. Had the scallops and they were delicious. My wide had tuna and it was great too. The Vidallia Crab soup is the best appetizer we've had on the island. Will be back on our next visit to HHI.Special Features:
- Anniversary dinnerHallamityDined on 6/10/2014Great meal and service. They did not have the wine I ordered and did not knock the price down on the bottle I got which was $2.00 more. Not very considerate. Since it was our 58th anniversary, they did present us with a glass of sparkling wine before dinner, nice touch. Not sure we will return since there are so many excellent restaurants in the area.Special Features:
- Fantastic food with a touch of artSharkDined on 6/3/2014This is possibly one of the most impressive decor's I have ever experience. The owners taste in fine décor is amazing. Even the water glasses and the plates are originals. The owners is an artist and her work adorns the walls. The chef (and also owner) uses only the freshest of ingredients. Farm fresh vegetables, smooth and luxurious sauces. Their fish is the available catches of the day and their lamb and beef is aged to perfection. Above all don't miss the blueberry crumb cake a l a mode!Special Features:
- phillypieVIPDined on 5/31/2014Very eclectic ambiance with live soothing music. Food unbelievably surprising. Everything we had was creative, delicious and great presentation too. Service quite outstanding. Loved it and would visit again if in the area.Special Features:
- This is a hidden gem!Linda1011Dined on 5/30/2014I recently visited Hilton Head for vacation. There are many fine restaurants and they are hard to find because most of them are tucked back off the main roads. I found this gem though opentable.com and decided to try it out based the favorable reviews. The food and service were excellent. There was live soft music playing in the background and the musician came over to ask if we had any special requests. It is small intimate place. In fact we started talking with our table neighbors and they said they come to Hilton Head every year during the same week and eat at this restaurant. It wasn't very busy so I hope people continue to discover and patronize it. I highly recommend it!! Best meal of the week.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Excellent EVERY timeHHIGuyVIPDined on 5/25/2014Each time we visit the studio we can count on outstanding service, fantastic food and artful presentation. Once again the grouper was spot on, the filet cooked to perfection and the escargot was presented well. We visit The Studio every time we are on island. Cozy, intimate and worth every cent. Keep up the great work Paul and Lunonia...we champion the Studio every chance we get.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- IncredibleOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/24/2014From the moment we walked in, until the moment we left we received top notch service. We had the hummus with grilled shrimp which was incredible for an appetizer. For dinner we had the palette which consisted of filet, grouper topped with crab and lamb chops. Everything was cooked to perfection and outstanding. Others at my table had the paella,which looked like art work, tuna steak and rib eye. For dessert we had the bannana bread pudding. Everything tasted phenomenal and my group of 6 loved everything they were served. Alex the waiter was outstanding! His recommendations and service was the best I've seen in a long time. We can't wait to return to Hilton Head and Studio!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Superb service by the artist/co-owner who introduced the art and the dinner menu in a warm and friendly manner. The rack of lamb was superb and the palette provided a sampling of the excellent filet mignonette, lamb and black grouper - all with wonderful sauces. An unexpected artistic treasure in a strip mall setting.Special Features:

Longtime residents blame a wave of no holds barred graffiti taggings on white transplants and "suburbanites."
"Graffiti used to be an urban art form for kids who didn't have another venue," Simon said. "They didn't tag over the churches their mothers and grandmothers attended. Now you have these suburban kids who are working to emulate the art form, but have no reverence for the community and no integrity in what they do."

Bringing Some Color to the Guggenheim:
What with planning for her retrospective at the Guggenheim, helping inner-city youth enter the music business, fighting gun violence in an advertising campaign, and managing to get a peony named after an African American hero, Carrie Mae Weems was pretty busy even before she got The Call last week from the MacArthur Foundation. So the news that she won a "genius grant" added another whirlwind of activity on her already intimidating schedule.
"I was floored," the artist said on the speakerphone from her car as she raced between engagements in Syracuse, New York, where she lives and teaches. "It was the most ridiculous thing I'd ever heard."
Along with the 23 other MacArthur recipients this year, Weems will receive $625,000 over the next five years, no strings attached.
"I'll buy a new dress and a new pair of shoes for sure," she says. "But everything will go back into my work because that's what I do. It will go to the projects I care about."
A charismatic artist, activist, and educator, Weems is best known for installations, videos, and photographs that invite the viewer to reflect on issues of race, gender, and class.
A wry wit infuses even her most uncompromising works, which comment on stereotypes, slavery, miscegenation, and the exclusion of blacks—as artists and subjects—from Western art history. Her traveling retrospective, which began at the Frist Center in Nashville last year and opens at its final stop, the Guggenheim, on January 24, includes the naughty "Ain't Jokin'" series (1987-88); "The Kitchen Table Series" (1990) photographs of domestic scenes that inspired Mickalene Thomas to be an artist; and the fabulous Afro-Chic fashion video (2009), among some 200 objects Weems has produced over the last three decades.
She's been talking to Guggenheim staff about ways to jumpstart a demographic shift in the museum's typical audience.
" I want to make sure I have a dynamic presence of people of color flowing through the space," she says. One idea she's thinking about is a live-broadcast performative conversation, maybe something along the lines of Jon Stewart's Daily Show. Maybe with a comic and a house band.
"There could be a night around art and activism, with people who are troubling the waters, as they say," she comments. "A night called Laughing to Keep from Crying or, Jewish Comedy, Black Comedy, and the Power of Resistance."

Space shapes.
In fact, masculinities, including black masculinities, are performed partially in response to the various external conditions present within the geographical spaces, like NYC, where they emerge. In other words, masculinities are shaped by skewed conceptions of gender, a sexist culture, and the range of structural conditions that impact black men quite negatively.
Consider, for instance, what type of black masculinity might emerge in response to a city funded teenage pregnancy prevention ad that pretty much tells black teen females that black boys ain't shit in a city where police use tax-payer funded guns to shoot its residents? And how can we encourage black boys and men to resist the need to perform power (that hurts), toughness (that victimizes), and swag (that boasts chauvinistically) when, in fact, demonstrations of power, toughness, and swag might be performed by black boys and men to counter state violence? Thus, we should ask how we might re-create masculinities that do no harm and also consider the forces at work that tend to shape black male gender performances in destructive ways.
Black masculinities are created within heteropatriarchy and tend to be overdetermined by misogyny, sexism, violence, and rape culture. It is our responsibility as black cis and transgendered men to name and disengage caustic masculinities, but we should also consider why black men would fight so damn hard to perform the "strong black man" caricature in various spaces in the US, like NYC. Indeed, we black men must consider how our senses of self and the masculinities we perform are shaped by the conditions present within the spaces that we move through."

Yes, it's draft talk.
Reading all those posts made me think what we're gonna do for the next year. Yeah, we'll have Pierce and Daniels recovered. But they'll be looking to play less time, especially as they'll have new injuries to deal with. We got Bradley, Nate and Rondo to cover PG. Wafer, Nate (when Rondo's healthy), and Allen (we'll have him for a loong long time) to cover SG position. Jermaine, Davis and Garnett will stick around for at least 1 more year, tho that position worries me slightly as well. As for C... Well Erden is, in my opinion, a lot more useful player than Shaq. So we got 5 covered, KP, Erden and Shaq if he decides it's not enough and re-signs. That leaves us on SF. Two 30+ year olds with no proper substitute (or no substitute at all) who are very much injury-prone. Lasme is questionable, as he missed out plenty games (not sure if he's still injured or not) in the D-league, but even with him on the team, will we really count on him in 2-3 years? I don't think so. So I'm thinking we need a drafted player, who will just like Rondo, become one of the leagues best players, that will stick with the team that drafted him for many, many years. A player like that, playing SF, might be available this year actually. His name is Jan Vesely, and he's currently in Partizan Belgrade, playing in Europe. He was supposed to be on the draft last year but he decided it'd be wiser to develop his game even further and stay in Europe for another year (and wise it turned out to be). He may not be a shooter like Pierce, but neither is Daniels. Except Jan is... imho a better player than Daniels (well, of course, in the form of him adapted to NBA type of play). You can read (and see) some stuff about him here http://www.nbadraft.net/players/jan-vesely except for some facts. He came to Partizan as a 17 or 18 year old, from Czech Republic. And this club has an insane and mad coach (who got called in by Spurs for 'observation' and coaching younger players), and he tends to make great players from zeroes. He threw skinny, tall, even dumb-looking Jan into starting lineup for Partizan's first Euroleague match of the season, and ever since he hasn't missed a game. That guy's got an amazing talent, and really is a fast learner. Afterall, it took him only one game in Euroleague to learn how to play it. And, same as Lasme, his defensive abilities are insane, coming from one of the best defensive clubs in Europe. So, developing his game under right influence (of Ray offensively, Garnett defensively and Rivers overal..ly) will not take much time. Many people, experts or not, predict he'll take the best rookie title. And no, I'm not really a big fan of this club, it's just that watching him play here was amazing, and imho Celtics would really miss out on a great opportunity here.
Also, from the video you can see that he'll probably be entering the Slam Dunk contest real soon.

1. In order to ensure that we have adequate supplies and staff on hand for each event, a minimum of 48 business hours (weekends excluded) is required to process each request. For events with more than 100 guests, two weeks notice is required. Customers are encouraged to book events as far in advance as possible.
2. All cancellations must be received with 48 business hours (weekends excluded) of the event or the account will be fully charged for the event.
3. Medical Center Catering provides all necessary utensils and serving pieces for each catered event. All accounts will be fully charged for any missing or damaged equipment used at their event.
4. For all events using disposable equipment, cleanup and breakdown of the event is the sole responsibility of the customer. For events using non-disposable equipment, catering will return to pickup the equipment but the cleanup and breakdown of the room is still the responsibility of the customer. Customers may wish to contact Housekeeping and/or Facilities if they require additional help in these areas.
5. The Catering staff is responsible to arrange furniture in the Dining Conference Rooms only. For all other locations, customers may wish to contact Facilities Management for the physical arrangements needed for the event.
6. Please make sure the event location is accessible to our staff at least thirty minutes prior to the event.
7. All orders are subject to a minimum order fee.
8. There will be a delivery charge assessed for all events within a ten mile radius of the main hospital. Additional fees maybe incurred for events over ten miles.
9. Medical Center Catering is fully licensed to serve alcohol at catered events. Any event requesting bar service must be accompanied by an approved alcohol request policy.
10. While we will make every effort to accommodate last minute requests, please understand that we may not always have staff or supplies on hand to meet the demands of a last minute order. When we are able to accommodate a last minute request, a surcharge will be assessed.
