The questions answered here cover a wide range of topics, however if you have any queries not addressed below we encourage you to contact us.
Yes. On average 70% of participants taking a BUNAC Group Flight join the programme on their own. The Discover Hong Kong stopover provides an ideal opportunity to make new friends.
We recommend that you apply as soon as possible. Places are available on a first-come first-served basis. Applications for BUNAC group flight options must be received at least 6 weeks before departure. Those arranging their own flights must submit their application at least 6 weeks before the intended departure.
You should budget for the following costs:
This is a working holiday and the expectation is that you will earn a local salary whilst away. Most participants use this to cover daily living costs and with careful budgeting can save money to put toward travelling around New Zealand.
The Work New Zealand gap year programme is based on the Essentials programme. The other packages are intended to enhance the experience. However, they are optional and you are not obliged to add anything to the Essentials programme. Most people taking a BUNAC Group Flight will also upgrade to 7 night's accommodation.
The essence of the Work New Zealand gap year programme is the support and services that are included in the Essentials programme. The extra packages enhance the experience. The packages can't be arranged without having the Essentials programme.
Yes, if you book your own flights you can arrange an itinerary to meet your own unique requirements. You must arrive in New Zealand within 12 months of the visa being issued.
BUNAC flights are flexible and allow dates of travel to be changed for a fee of approximately £75. Changes are made subject to airline availability.
Discover Hong Kong is an inclusive part of your London-Auckland Group Flight. The BUNAC rep at Heathrow will introduce you to the rest of the group and seats on the plane are pre-allocated to ensure you are sitting with other Work New Zealand participants.
On arrival in Hong Kong you will be transferred to a centrally located 3* hotel for two nights (rooms are based on two or three sharing and breakfast is included).
There will be some free time to rest and recover from the flight; although you are likely to fight off the sleep and go and explore the local area with your new friends.
During your stay your English speaking guide will take you to see some of Hong Kong's most popular tourist highlights including Victoria Peak, Stanley Market, and the Aberdeen Fishing Village (tours may vary from one group to another). There is also a group night out planned for one evening. Finally, having enjoyed a brief introduction to this frenetic Chinese outpost you will be transferred back to the airport in time for your next flight to Auckland.
Whilst the flight costs are a constant, the airport/departure taxes and fuel surcharges can fluctuate and this may result in a change to the overall flight cost.
All BUNAC Group flights will arrive in Auckland where the IEP resource centre is located. If you are arranging an independent flight you can choose to travel to a city of your choice. However, outside of Auckland the resources will be limited. Please contact BUNAC to discuss your specific needs in more detail.
The key differences between the visas are the length of stay, funds required on entry to New Zealand and the upper age limit. See the table here for more information on the two different visas. If you are still unsure please call BUNAC and we'll be happy to discuss the options with you.
New Zealand Immigration explain that you should be prepared to show evidence on arrival of access to either:
NZ$3000 (for the IEP visa) or
NZ$350 for each month you anticipate staying in New Zealand (for the Working Holiday Visa).
Funds can be NZ$ or £s equivalent. If you arrive on a one-way flight you may need to show evidence of a further £500.
You are not obliged to spend this money in New Zealand (we expect you'll be earning during your trip) but it reassures Immigration that you have appropriate funds to support yourself for your initial stay. The funds can be either in your name or provided by a guarantor (such as a parent).
Yes. If you have already used the Working Holiday Visa for New Zealand you can still apply for the IEP Work Exchange Visa (although this visa is also a once in a lifetime opportunity).
There is no minimum stay; however we recommend a trip of at least three months. Short trips will need careful planning to ensure you see and do everything that you want to. Finding work may be harder as you will only be able to commit to an employer for a short time. Crop picking and harvest work are ideal for short stay trips.
The IEP Exchange Visa is available to British and Irish passport holders for a maximum stay of 12 months.
Irish passport holders can apply for a 12 month Working Holiday Visa. British passport holders can apply for either a 12 month or 23 month Working Holiday Visa.
As part of the application process for the 23 month visa you must have a government approved chest x-ray and medical which can cost approximately £150; BUNAC will provide the necessary forms. The 12 month Working Holiday Visa can be extended to 23 months whilst in New Zealand providing you still meet the eligibility requirements and you have a medical in New Zealand.
Our Work New Zealand Handbook has some useful tips that will help you prepare for the job hunt. On arrival in Auckland, utilise IEP's resource centre with job boards, computers, free internet and knowledgeable staff. They will help you get your tax number and set up a bank account (both essential for potential employers).
If you are looking for a head start, why not consider the Skills & Thrills package which has been designed to provide you with the necessary experience to find hospitality work.
Most participants work in retail, hospitality, agriculture (e.g. fruit picking/harvesting) or office temping. Typical jobs include serving in pubs and bars, waiting tables in restaurants and cafes, working in shops and supermarkets, housekeeping and reception work in hotels and hostels, and data entry and customer service roles.
Arrival accommodation is an optional extra providing you with the flexibility to tailor your arrival to best match your needs. It can be pre-booked for 2 or 7 consecutive nights to coincide with your arrival. We recommend that people book at least their first 2 night's accommodation so that they have time to find their feet and become orientated in their new city. We use well equipped centrally located hostels; rooms are shared single sex dorms and the booking includes breakfast.
Subject to availability and an upgrade fee we can arrange twin accommodation for you and your travel partner/friend in Auckland. Please contact BUNAC for more information.
Most participants live in hostels or rent shared flats/houses. It is common for people to share with other participants they meet on the Group Flight. Vacant properties and rooms are advertised online, in local newspapers, hostel notice boards and in IEP's resource office.
Auckland provides a good base to start your trip, but the visa allows you to work anywhere in New Zealand; North Island or South, winter ski resorts or summer beaches, office temping or countryside farming.
Contact us on0207 251 3472, send us an email (firstname.lastname@example.com) or attend a presentation.
Join one of our group flights to travel with other BUNACers and enjoy a 3 day stopover in Hong Kong.

Kate Vitasek
Faculty, author, researcher, innovator of the Vested® business model
Kate Vitasek's philosophy is deeply embedded in practicing what she preaches. She has successfully combined her role as Faculty for the Center for Executive Education at the University of Tennessee with her role as Founder of Supply Chain Visions, a Top 10 Boutique Consulting firm. Her applied research and thinking is grounded in a drive to help real companies achieve real results.
Kate's approaches and insights have been widely published in over 200 articles in respected academic and trade journals, as well as in five books. Co-author of the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals' Supply Chain Management Process Standards, she has also lead some of the supply chain profession's most popular research reports published by WERC, APICS, and APQC.
Kate's current passion is the pioneering work she's leading in Vested at the University of Tennessee. Vested is based on award-winning research by the University of Tennessee funded by the United States Air Force to find a "better way to outsource."
The Vested® business model allows companies to focus on desired outcomes and shared value to create an arrangement that is mutually beneficial for each. Rather than the "What's in it for Me" mentality of traditional agreements, Vested's "What's in it for We" mindset invests both parties in the success of each other's overall business, which in turn strengthens the sense of partnership and encourages a more lasting relationship. By sharing expertise and aligning their goals, both parties are able to drive innovation, adapt to changing needs, and mitigate risk while working towards mutual success. Many well-known companies have adopted a Vested framework, including Microsoft, McDonald's, and Procter & Gamble.
Vested is part of a book series published by Palgrave Macmillan. It has also been featured in more than 300 articles in traditional media outlets such as Forbes, Bloomberg Radio, Fox Business, CIO Magazine, NRP, and The Wall Street Journal, as well as in numerous trade publications like Globalization Today Magazine, Outsource Magazine, SupplyChainBrain.com, Warehousing Forum, Supply & Demand Chain Executive, Logistics Viewpoints, and IT Business Edge.com.
Awards and Recognitions
Kate's groundbreaking work with Vested has won much attention. Vested was named one of "Outsourcing's Top 2012 Trends" by Globalization Today, one of the "Top 50+1 Most Influential 2011 Trends" by The World Trade Magazine, and one of the "Tops Trends in IT Services" by Vanguard Marketing International, Inc.
Kate herself has been been recognized by The Journal of Commerce as a "Woman on the Move in Trade and Transportation" and as a "Rainmaker" by DC Velocity for her contributions to building the supply chain profession. For her work on Vested, she was named one of Globalization Today's "Powerhouse 25" outsourcing industry leaders. Other accolades include being recognized by Logistics Quarterly and Supply Chain Digest as a "Woman in Supply Chain," being honored as a "Woman of International Influence" by Global Executive Women, and being a top 10 finalist for "Best Entrepreneur—Service Business Under 100 Employees" by the American Business Awards for Woman.
In addition, Kate's firm, Supply Chain Visions, has won many of its own awards, including being named one of the "Top 100 Supply Chain Partners" by SupplyChainBrain.com, where it was one of only four consulting firms to make the list.

To celebrate Vauxhall's sponsorship of the England team, local dealer, SLM Vauxhall, is hosting a fun-filled England 2012 Event between 15th and 18th June.
The dealership on Dowding Way is inviting customers in Tunbridge Wells to join in with football-themed celebrations and take advantage of a range of offers and savings throughout the weekend.
SLM Vauxhall is offering £500 of free fuel on new vehicles ordered during the Event*, as well as 20% off Genuine Vauxhall Accessories** with all new vehicles purchased over the England 2012 weekend.
Plus, if you're one of the first 50 people to visit the dealership during the event, you'll receive a free England supporter's pack.
These savings, available from 15th to 18th June only, are on top of the fantastic offers already available to motorists, such as Vauxhall's innovative 0% APR Flexible Finance scheme and free insurance on Corsa S and Limited Edition models.
Jonathan Tatlock, General Manager at SLM Vauxhall, comments: "As part of Vauxhall's sponsorship of the Home Nations team, we're really proud to be showing our support by hosting the football-inspired weekend.
"Those looking to purchase a new car will have the opportunity to take advantage of a range of fantastic savings as well as exclusive offers and incentives, from helping to cut costs at the fuel pumps to discounts on accessories.
"We'd like to invite customers to come along to our dealership, get into the Home Nations spirit and drive away with some great savings!"
Finance to suit your budget
There are plenty of reasons to head to the dealership and enjoy a range of savings during the event weekend and throughout the summer.
Vauxhall's highly competitive 0% APR Flexible Finance scheme enables motorists to drive away in a brand new Vauxhall vehicle at a monthly cost that suits them. No minimum customer deposit is required and payment terms can vary between 24 to 60 months, giving customers complete choice and flexibility. What's more, SLM Vauxhall will even contribute towards the deposit.
Fully covered
Not only can customers drive away with their ideal Vauxhall vehicle at monthly payments to suit their personal budget, but drivers can also get a helping hand with the cost of car insurance when purchasing a new Vauxhall Corsa S or Limited Edition on Flexible Finance.
Until 2nd July, drivers aged between 19 and 21 can take advantage of a £1,000 contribution towards their first year's insurance premium, whilst for drivers aged between 22 and 75, SLM Vauxhall will cover the full insurance premium for the first year***.
For example, customers can purchase a Corsa Limited Edition 1.2i 3-door for just £199 a month for 60 months, with a deposit of £2,710 and a year's free insurance or a £1,000 contribution to their first year premium. Plus, for the event weekend only, all new car orders come with £500 of free fuel.
And to give motorists added peace of mind, all new Vauxhall cars also come with a warranty which could now last a lifetime, so customers can be confident that they are getting the best possible aftercare and service.
Available to the first owner of all new Vauxhall cars, the warranty is valid for the lifetime of the vehicle up to a maximum of 100,000 miles. Visit www.vauxhall.co.uk/warranty to find out more.

How the Charter amendment looks on the ballot:
Shall Ordinance No. 12677 to amend the Charter of the City of Chattanooga be approved pursuant to Article XI, Section 9 of the Constitution of Tennessee (Home Rule Amendment) so as to delete archaic provisions, modernize its provisions, to conform to state laws of general application, and to generally to improve the Charter?
— For the amendment
— Against the amendment
In addition to city council races and the mayoral contest, Chattanooga's March 5 ballot contains an opportunity for voters to enact a number of useful changes to clean up antiquated language in the City Charter. Unfortunately, almost no one understands exactly what would happen if the Charter changes are voted into effect. What exactly, many Chattanoogans have asked, are we being asked to vote on?
Just looking at the wording on the ballot won't help much. That's because it only says that the Charter Amendment is intended to "delete archaic provisions, modernize its provisions, to conform to state laws of general application, and to generally to improve the Charter?"
Wait ... what?
State law limits local charter amendment explanations to a 200-word summary on the ballot. That's barely enough to describe a few small Charter changes, much less the nearly 30 changes that Chattanooga is asking residents to consider to the Charter on Election Day. The Charter explanation on the March 5 ballot is only 53 words. It's as though the folks at the city attorney's office gave up on explaining the proposal before they really tried.
On Thursday afternoon, in an attempt to supply answers to the Charter amendment confusion, the mayor's office released a generic and largely unhelpful explanation of what the Charter amendments would do: "The proposed changes that are presented in the March 5 Charter referendum will help clear up and clarify the City Charter."
The release continued, "Much of Chattanooga's Charter is more than 50 years old and some as much as 143 years old and no longer useful. This referendum proposes to eliminate the unnecessary sections and make minor changes to the remainder."
That sounds fine, but it still doesn't tell us exactly what would be eliminated or changed in the City Charter.
The release also contained a link to a page on the city's website that allows residents to review the changes. Maybe this would finally answer questions about how, exactly, city leaders want to amend the Charter.
Well, it does ... if you're up for reading 62 pages of legalese and lawyer-speak.
Since the city has failed to explain to residents in detail what the Charter amendment does, we will.
The amendment puts the city's pension plan in the correct place in the Charter; modernizes the terminology used to define city council districts (replacing the term "wards" with "districts"); makes the city's property, sales and alcoholic beverage taxing authority consistent with state law (don't worry -- it won't increase taxes); deletes archaic language about banking and bonds; and eliminates a couple of outdated boards and commissions that haven't been active in decades.
The proposed charter changes also:
• End aid to railroads (which hasn't been given since the 1890s).
• Update a handful of provisions related to issues such as zoning, lawsuits and city borrowing in which state law now supersedes city rules.
• Allow firemen to legally take the amount of vacation days they are entitled to.
• Delete the references to $500 fines, because under state law Chattanooga does not have authority to create a fine in excess of $50.
• Eliminate the penalty for "Sabbath breaking."
• Abolish funding for city functions of days gone by such as a workhouse and a city band.
There is not a single thing in the Charter amendment that is objectionable. In fact, the city should be applauded for taking steps to rid the Charter of outdated functions and unnecessary and incongruous language.
Unfortunately, even if the Charter changes are a good thing -- and they are, the Free Press encourages voters to vote for the amendment -- it's hard to ignore what a pitiful job the city has done in explaining what the Charter amendment would actually do. Chattanooga voters have been done a disservice and, sadly, it may prevent these much-needed changes to the Charter from passing.
I'd already planned on voting for the Charter changes anyway. I've learned that most anything the local Tea Party hates or claim to be against because it's coming from the mayor's office is likely a good move for both the city of Chattanooga and its citizens. They're just blinded by hate for the mayor.
I voted NO in early voting, not that it will make a difference. Lack of sunshine and the City Attorney's history makes the charter revisions completely untrustworthy for valid and reasonable cause. Charter revisons should have been advertised a year ago, for public information.
The City Attorney's Office is the most troubling Dept. in City Gov., they carry out the legal wishes of Mayor Littlefield and should NEVER be trusted.

The basic idea is that the the Colonists had no representation in Parlement. King George continued to tax the colonies without their consent- seeing that the colonists had no one to express their voice back in England. So in other words- Don't tax me because its not fair (since i don't have a say in it!)

Today, MG is more than an iconic octagonal badge; it is once again a motoring force to be reckoned with. Our much-loved British brand has been re-launched with the financial backing of one of the world's largest car manufacturers, which allows us to stand tall in the global market. We'd like to introduce you to a new range of models that have been designed and engineered at our 69-acre site in Longbridge, Birmingham. These include the new MG3, MG6 GT, MG6 MAGNETTE and the MG6 BTCC EDITION. The MG6 GT is the first in a new generation of MG cars. It's a contemporary fastback, specifically designed to meet the varied needs of our busy customers. With strong financial backing and a bright future, MG is ready to write the most exciting chapter in what is already a very colourful story.
MG's site in Birmingham is home to the European Engineering Technical Centre and Design Studio, as well as a manufacturing facility and the Headquarters of MG Motor UK. It is at the Headquarters that Guy Jones, the UK Sales and Marketing Director, and his team have re-launched the MG brand here in its home market.
Our team of 300 engineers based in the European Engineering Technical Centre is responsible for developing the initial concepts for all new MG vehicles. The department also ensures that each model meets the latest in European legislation and customer requirements. This includes everything from crash testing to refinement, as well as making sure the drive and handling is second to none. Under the leadership of David Lindley, the engineers here work on all MG products for Europe, and support product development in China and other world markets. In addition, the UK Technical Centre houses cutting-edge engine testing equipment to help develop our cars. In fact, the team is currently heavily involved in the global development of a new power train initiative, with a focus on creating new green technologies.
Led by British designer Tony Williams-Kenny, the UK team is responsible for the interior and exterior design of all MG products across the globe. The dedicated 25-strong team works in a new state-of-the-art facility which opened in Birmingham in June 2010. It takes designs from 2D rendering, through virtual reality into full size 3D clay models.
Final assembly on the new MG6 is completed in Birmingham. We use the scale and technological advancement of the MG production facility in Lingang, China, for initial production. This includes the production of the car body as well as paint shop processing. Taking care of initial production in China means our UK manufacturing team can focus on the key components that create the handling experience our European customers have come to expect. This includes, the connection of the engine and the gearbox, as well as completing electrical connections and inserting the power train. The manufacturing facilities in Birmingham, including full paint shop capabilities, have been protected across our 69-acre site. This will allow us to expand when volumes increase and new models are introduced.
The teams at MG HQ
Along with the design, engineering and manufacturing facilities, MG Birmingham is home to all other aspects of the MG Motor business. This includes the following teams:
UK Sales & Marketing
After Sales: A dedicated team responsible for producing all customer literature and technical materials for the new MG models, as well ensuring the MG6 receives full support in the dealerships.
Purchasing: Helping procure parts for MG6 production in UK and in China.
IT: Providing the infrastructure to support both the manufacturing team and the extensive needs of the engineering and design functions.
Site Services: A team looking after MG Birmingham and ensuring that we have the facilities we need to make everything happen.
Human Resources and Finance: Helping to ensure we remain strong financially, and that we always have the brightest bunch of people on-site.
In addition to our hard-working teams, we also have fantastic facilities here including the all-new Parts Warehouse and Cecil Kimber training college.

Don't let the cast of newbies — Juliet Ingelby, Rosie Tapner, Linn Arvidsson, Sophie Hirschfelder, and Anniek Kortleve — fool you. Balenciaga's Fall 2012 ad campaign is '80s glam-azing, all the way. The girls — dressed in Fall 2012's space-invader tops, big-shouldered jackets, and iridescent carrot pants — pose on windswept sand dunes while the darkly lit sky overhead creates a moody vibe.
The images will grace the pages of major magazines this Fall, but you can preview them right now in the slideshow.

I would like to recommend that the letter writer (``Biyclists should stay off major highways,'' Nov. 10) take his own advice and stay in his own neighborhood. As per his suggestion (with a slight twist) from public transportation to taxicabs, there are many alternatives to move around the city without driving your own vehicle.
Furthermore, I would like to submit for the writer's edification: 1. Many of the major arteries have bicycle lanes. As new roads are being constructed, bike lanes are included, and when roads are widened, bike lanes are added.

by Sebastian Blanco (RSS feed) on Oct 26th, 2010 at 7:02PM
Honda has not yet given up in the entry-level hybrid fight. There's the new Jazz (Fit) hybrid, for one thing, but the older Insight hybrid isn't being left in the dust, either. Autocar reports that some of the lessons from the Jazz are being applied to the Insight – most importantly that the "stop" time of the Insight's stop-start cycle can now be up to 90 seconds long in Eco Mode. Because of "obscure patenting reasons" that made the system assume a worst-case humidity situation, the previous limit was just 30 seconds. This change can save a lot of gas in city driving. There are no... Read More

Thanks for hanging out with us on our adventure.
Sun, Mar 29, 2009
Wow! Those are awesome. You have to frame that pic of the Eiffel. What a great trip. Thanks for letting us tag along.
I'm so glad you shared it with us.
Fabulous Eiffel photo!! And you must have been a L'Arc at the crack of smack…there's hardly a car in sight!
It's been a fun trip!
Now that is one good-looking Eiffel Tower. How cute are the two of you in Paris? Glad you had a good time. Isn't it hard to come home?
Where is Posh Spice!?!?
Am sitting in British Airways 1st class lounge (South) and it's snack heaven. Oh man, they even have WW snacks. Might have to fill my backpack. I stole a little can of diet coke. It's so stinkin' cute, it had to be done. Nice buffet of Indian food, quick little plate of chicken curry. I could really get used to non-couch travel. HAH!
The lounge has tortoisse/horn style chandeliers. Will try to sneak a picture.
I don't think I like you anymore. . .
Am so happy to be back home. OMG. My bag of dirty laundry needs to be burnt.
I just came back from Paris last week! Love. I will email you my Flickr link and you can see my view of Paris…thanks to my lovely daughter's whip crackin' tour…she rocked my ass all from one end of Paris to the other! I hit the one of the flea market (I think Marche du Puce?) not sure, and came back w/ some amazing vintage prints, wish I could have shipped like 100 mirrors and furniture pieces back home…
I'm going back in October. Au revoir!
Welcome back!!! Can't wait to see your pics!
Obviously I speak french as well as I write, ha! It was the same market you went to, how crazy is that place? I could have filled a moving truck with stuff.
That's where I bought my chandelier a million years ago. The prices have become outrageous though. I did well at a smaller flea market in the southern section – got lots of linens.
I remembered you wrote that on your blog and I thought of you when I was in a haze of "stuff lust" that took over the minute I approached the market, OMG!! Yes, the prices were…high. Props to you for getting that chandie home!
I could have kicked myself for not buying some linens…I really wanted some vintage art prints, so I bought those and was trying to be "good" – in Paris of all places.

text: On December 10, 2002, about 1115 mountain standard time, a Mooney M20K, N252DR, registered to and operated by Flying M-U-2, Inc., was substantially damaged during a forced landing following a loss of engine power at the Eagle County Airport, Eagle, Colorado. The private and student pilot were not injured. Day visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and a VFR flight plan had been filed for the personal flight being conducted under Title 14 CFR Part 91. The flight had just originated and was en route to Waco, Texas.According to the pilot's accident report, about 10 seconds after the airplane lifted off the runway, he realized "the cowl plugs had been left in the cowl holes. Fearing engine/propeller entanglement with [the] cord connecting the two front plugs, [he] attempted to reland on [the] same runway." The airplane touched down but there was insufficient runway remaining to come to a safe stop. The pilot elected to abort the landing, resulting in the airplane "not regaining the air." The airplane went off the end of the runway and traveled about 300 feet across rough terrain before the nose landing gear collapsed.After NTSB was notified of the accident, the pilot was contacted via telephone and asked what had happened. He said that after the airplane lifted off the runway and had climbed 50 feet, the engine lost power. He attempted to land on the 2,000 feet of runway remaining. The airplane touched down, traveled approximately 300 feet before going off the end onto soft, muddy ground. Airport emergency personnel who responded reported to NTSB that they found the protective coverings for the engine air scoops still in place. Postaccident examination further revealed wrinkling of the fuselage behind the firewall, and a 4-inch hole in the fuselage. The horizontal stabilizer was also damaged.

We highly recommend Michelle to anyone needing photos for any event. We used Michelle for our wedding and she is so much fun to work with. We did an engagement session first and then used her for our wedding as well. Michelle is very easy to get along with and have a laugh with which make you that much more comfortable in front of the camera. Michelle was very accomodating when we had any questions or concerns and didn't hesitate to meet with us in person to help us feel more comfortable. Even when Michelle found out she was going to be about 8 months pregnant at our wedding, she clearly communicated that to us and asked us if we had any concerns. Without hesitation, she called her photographer friends that shoot very similarly to her to make sure we had full coverage for our wedding. Even though Michelle told us she would probably have to let the other photographers finish up the end of the reception, she was there all night. At 8 months pregnant. Michelle is an extremely hard working photographer and her work shows that. And then there's her photo's. Incredible. Michelle has a way of disappearing into a crowd and capturing true emotion. We are so pleased with our pictures. The photos are the one thing you have to take away from the wedding day that last forever. Start with the best and choose Michelle. We can promise you won't be disappointed.

I found Michelle by doing a random google search for local photographers. My fiance and I instantly took a liking to her when we had our first meeting. She listened to what we wanted, she took the time to ask us questions to make sure we were a good fit. We met twice before the wedding because she wanted to see the church and reception site to plan out spots for pictures. She was easy to get in contact with, very friendly and organized! She had me fill out a detailed form before hand to make sure she knew all the shots I wanted.
The day of the wedding she showed up early and as a bonus brought an extra photographer with her! She was not obtrusive at all during the ceremony, which was very important to us! Since she was organized and had me write a shot list, we quickly took care of pictures with family and the bridal party so that they could leave and it was just my husband and myself. This made for a very relaxing time to take pictures before heading to the reception.
She had a photo preview up on facebook as soon as we got back from our little Honeymoon and sent me a link to the online gallery not long after.
We are so pleased with the quality of the photos. She captured so many wonderful moments. I would recommend Michelle to anyone looking for an affordable photographer who will do an amazing job!

Really wonderful, I was shocked to find out how wonderful the photographs were after we received them. The value for what we paid was also remarkable!

Michelle was a perfect choice for us and our style of wedding. Upon our first meeting with Michelle, we knew we'd found a professional and modern photographer (not the typical staged wedding photos). She had lots of pricing options and packages to choose from and was willing to create a custom package for us based on our needs. On the day of the wedding, Michelle and her second shooter were in control - setting up shots based on our list and also just letting the day happen casually. The end result was a combination of some wonderfully artsy shots (one particular couple shot in black & white is to die for!), sweet family shots, and great overall looks at the decor and feel of the day. I am having a hard time picking my favorites for the album and prints.
I'd recommend Michelle Zahn Photography without hesitation!

I'm so glad I found Michelle to photograph my wedding!! From the beginning, Michelle was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had. When we met with her before the wedding, she always made it at a time and place that was convenient for me and my husband. I was glad that Michelle wanted to come see our wedding and reception venues before the wedding day, because that gave us and her a better idea of shots and angles. Upon seeing our venues, she immediately started jotting down ideas of shots she wanted to take - shots that I wouldn't have even thought about getting. Before the wedding, she e-mailed us a list of shots, as well as a time schedule of the shots she wanted. I'm a type-A personality, so I like having a plan well in advance, and Michelle made that easier!
On our wedding day, she was very professional and friendly, and really kept the things moving along so that our guests weren't waiting and such. Many of my family members and friends commented on how nice Michelle was, and how much they appreciated that. She was also very accomodating to me, if I wanted to add or subtract shots we had planned in advance.
After our wedding, Michelle got our pictures to us in a timely manner. They all turned out great, and we were excited to share them with our friends and family.
Overall, Michelle was great; I could not have asked for a better photographer for my big day. She is very conscientious, flexible, professional, friendly, and thoughtful. I would recommend her to friends looking for a photographer.

Michelle went out of her way to make sure she met all my photography needs, starting with our first meeting, and keeping in touch for several weeks after the wedding. She carefully noted all my requests and made sure they happened just as I asked. She was very flexible and patient with me as I changed my mind several times. Her professionalism impressed me on the wedding day - she worked smoothly with all family members and friends. I could not have asked for a better photographer!

She was great but I wasn't thrilled with the final product. A little too much photo shop that didn't look natural.

UMW looks to build fans with Eagle Club
The University of Mary Washington's athletic department will launch the newly founded Eagle Club with an Eagle Nation Day celebration on Saturday.
The Eagle Club, UMW's first athletics booster organization, was founded this year to back the athletics department through fundraising and community support.
Ken Tyler, director of athletics at UMW, said the department wants to assume a top position among Division III athletics programs.
Tyler called UMW's campaign the "Drive for 25," and said he hopes the school's teams will consistently be featured among the division's top 25 programs.
The Saturday celebration begins at 11 a.m., when gates open and attendees have a chance to meet Redskins Hall of Famer Darrell Green, who is now employed by UMW, and Olympic gold-medal swimmer and Fredericksburg native Jeff Rouse.
UMW's coaches and some of the 500 college athletes at the university will be on site to meet attendees, as well.
There will also be an inflatable obstacle course and horse and pony rides.
At noon, free hot dogs and hamburgers will be served, and the Eagle Club launch ceremony will commence. Green and Rouse will speak.
Those activities are followed by two free athletic contests: the men's soccer game against Kean University at 1 p.m., and a volleyball match against Methodist University at 4 p.m.
Tyler said he expects a large crowd so people should come out early.
Tyler hopes those who attend leave with an appreciation of what the UMW athletics department is and what it can do, and he hopes they will return to attend more games.
"It's a celebration," he said. "And a real way to make connections between UMW and the community."
Lindley Estes: 540/735-1976
WHAT: Eagle Nation Day
WHERE: UMW Battleground Athletics Complex, 1216 Hanover St., Fredericksburg
WHEN: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday
ADMISSION: Free
MORE INFO: Call the UMW athletic department at 540/654-1039.

More than 50 years ago, 256 volunteers began a successful campaign to build a hospital in our community. Today volunteers remain an integral part of NorthBay Healthcare. NorthBay Guild volunteers donate their time and talents working in our hospitals and clinics, raising funds to enhance programs and services, offering support to our community and giving our patients a little extra TLC.
Our volunteer Guild is made up of individuals with a genuine desire to make a difference. We welcome you to join the legacy of this incredible group of people. Volunteers commit to a minimum of 100 hours of service per year. To help you find you perfect niche, please take a look at some of our volunteer opportunities:
Volunteers are vital to NorthBay Medical Center and VacaValley Hospital. The following service areas require a commitment of 3 to 4 hours a week on a regularly scheduled day.
Information Services: At VacaValley Hospital, volunteers greet patients and visitors, providing directions and assistance as well as setting the tone for the patients' experience at the Hospital. Volunteers may also support other Hospital departments by rolling bandages or completing paperwork. If you enjoy being on the front lines and have a friendly disposition this might be the perfect place for you.
Floor Host/Hostess: If you don't like sitting in one place perhaps you should consider working on the floor. Volunteers offer directions, transport patients, move records and paperwork from one unit to another, deliver flowers, offer visitors coffee and even have the opportunity to do "care visits" with our patients.
Sometimes our babies a need a little extra attention too. You can receive additional training to become a "cuddler" in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) or nursery.
Emergency Department: The Emergency Departments are open 24-hours every day of the year and our volunteers in the emergency department provide assistance and support to patients' families and hospital staff. Emergency Department volunteers are not involved in medical procedures, however, they may witness some difficult situations. Our Emergency Department Volunteers' regular duties include stocking carts and shelves, making up exam rooms, transporting patients, moving records from one unit to another, and "care visits" with our patients and families.
Clerical Support Volunteers: Many of our departments need extra hands to keep the workload flowing. Several departments can use a "Guy or Gal Friday" to keep things moving. Several of our non-clinical departments have expressed a desire for clerical support. If you would like to lend your talents, but are not sure the hospital is right for you perhaps working with one of our ancillary services is more to your liking. Some of the departments using volunteer support include: Public Relations, Administration, Finance, Patient Billing, and Information Services.
Fundraising is one of the vital roles our Volunteers have taken on at NorthBay Healthcare. All of the funds raised by our volunteers go to support NorthBay services and programs. Our fundraising activities include operating gift and thrift shops as well as coordinating special in-house sales, quilt & craft sales, bake sales, penny wraps and hosting the most successful Golf Tournament in Solano County. As a Volunteer, you can be involved is as few or as many fundraising activities as you like.
Gift Shop Volunteers purchase, display and sell new gift items as well as flowers and candy in the gift shops at NorthBay Medical Center and VacaValley Hospital. Our gift shops are run entirely by our Volunteers. No previous retail experience is necessary. If you enjoy shopping and public contact this may be the perfect opportunity for you.
Thrift Shop Volunteers get to experience "cheap thrills". Our Thrift Shop is located in Vacaville and is operated entirely by Volunteers. From donation collection to displaying merchandise, thrift shop volunteers are involved in all aspects of the business.
Special In-House Sales Volunteers coordinate, promote and work at one-day sales held in our hospitals. If you cannot commit to a regular schedule this may be perfect for you. Our sale schedule is generally completed a year in advance so you can compare it to your calendar.
Special Events such the Annual Guild Golf and Tennis Classic continues to be one of the most successful golf tournaments in Solano County. Volunteers work on the planning, implementation, and wrap-up phases of this event. Volunteers are also needed for the Solano Wine and Food Jubilee, annual bake sales and penny wraps.
For more information please call the Volunteer Services Office at (707) 646-4212 or complete this brief form and we would be happy to contact you.
Volunteers are part of our NorthBay Family and join us when we are out and about in the community. Volunteers may take blood pressure, provide educational information and act as ambassadors for NorthBay Healthcare. Volunteers assist our marketing department with community programs such as Day for Women, Tribute to Seniors, Kid Fest, and a variety of local employer health fair events.
If you are outgoing, friendly and enjoy a fast paced day, this might be a wonderful way to share your time and talents.
NorthBay Healthcare offers college students who are interested in a health care career the opportunity to work in a hospital setting. Due to the length of time required to train and clear volunteers we cannot accept SUMMER ONLY students.
Customarily, students who plan to pursue a medical career find it more satisfying to work in the Emergency Departments or on the Hospital Floor. In these positions you can have as much patient contact as you choose. Due to the Fair Standards Labor Act, the duties of our volunteers are somewhat restricted. We cannot have a volunteer working side by side doing the same job as a paid employee. Volunteers will not assist in medical treatment in any way. Below is a brief description of the duties our volunteers perform.
Assist staff with non-medical tasks as needed
Transport patients by wheelchair or gurney
Transfer lab work in properly marked Biohazard plastic bags
Run errands to other departments, i.e., Lab, Pharmacy, Radiology, Medical Records, etc.
Comfort waiting patients and families
Provide refreshments to waiting families as appropriate
Keep waiting area tidy and organized. Call for Environmental Services when appropriate.
Cut and roll bias
Restock supplies in vacant rooms
Make patient charts, transfer packets and patient education hand-outs
Fax medical records
Assist staff with clerical tasks as requested
Remove used but non-soiled sheets from gurneys and replace with clean linens. If the used linens are soiled, they are to be removed by staff. If there is a question as to whether or not linens are soiled, consult staff. Gloves are to be worn when handling any linens.

Brew and provide complimentary coffee to visitors in all visitor lounges (coffee provided to patients with nursing approval only)

NorthBay welcomes Canine Assisted Therapy at our facilities. We work closely with the local PAW's for Healing chapter to provide this service in our facilities. If you and your best friend are interested in being part of a team trained to work with patients, we would love to talk with you.
For more information please complete this brief form and we would be happy to contact you. Or use this link and go directly to www.pawsforhealing.org.
Alzheimer's Resource Center volunteers staff the desk and offer up-to-date information about Alzheimer's Disease, as well as listings of resources available in Solano County. The volunteers also conduct monthly support group meetings for caregivers of Alzheimer's patients.
Adult Day Center volunteers assist the staff in our Vacaville center with all types of recreational activities for the patients. Activities might include baking cookies, watching videos, or making seasonal craft projects. Volunteers in this service area must also complete a Dept of Justice fingerprint clearance and additional training in working with people with Alzheimer's and related dementias.
The Volunteer Guild has scholarships available for teen students beginning college who are interested in pursing a career in medicine. The applicant must have a minimum of 100 volunteer hours within the last two year period. Applications are taken in early spring. If you are interested in applying for a scholarship please download the following application(s):
As a Hospice Volunteer, you become a vital member on the professional team who care for the terminally ill and provide support to their loved ones in their homes. Our volunteer program offers opportunities in patient care and non-patient care.
Patient Care consists of companionship to patient, support and relief to family members and caretakers, helping with shopping, errands and light housekeeping.
Bereavement volunteers provide continued support to family and friends after the death of a loved one with phone calls or visits and monthly mailings.
Office Support consists of filing, copying, mailings, assembling packets, bagging supplies for patients, and assembling patient information packets.
Special Events/Fundraising volunteers assist with the Tree Lighting Ceremony, Memorial Services, and Solano Wine and Food Jubilee.
Volunteers are required to attend orientation and sessions training. Hours and training session are based upon your interest. Training sessions for Patient Care and Bereavement volunteers are offered two times a year. Office support, events and fundraising training sessions are ongoing throughout the year. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Veronica Wertz, Hospice Volunteer/Bereavement Coordinator, at firstname.lastname@example.com, (707) 646-3595.

Kurt Angle might follow in the footsteps of Chris Jericho soon, as the TNA star is now a candidate to appear on an upcoming season of Dancing With The Stars. His wife revealed that fact through Twitter and is currently trying to ramp up some support from his fans, so that it will happen.
Layla El once danced with Kanye West during a performance at the MTV Music Awards.
While watching Royal Rumble 2014, Rikishi expressed his frustration with WWE by posting a message on Twitter. He asked what the company was doing with his sons, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso. He also stated that the "writers suck" and ended the statement with "bullshit".
Alexander Rusev, the developmental wrestler who made his debut at Royal Rumble 2014, was trained by Rikishi. His relationship with the former WWE star helped help progress in the industry a lot quicker than a lot of other guys who have tried to make it to the main roster.
Chris Benoit shocked the wrestling world when he was able to win the Royal Rumble and earned himself a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania. He was successfully able to eliminate the Big Show to win the match.

Autumn Leaves
Casual Thursday
Had a lovely lunch with my unofficial sister-in-laws (I know – don't count your chickens…!) and it was the perfect excuse to wear my Mango sweater, which I bought months ago but wasn't exactly indian-45 degree-weather friendly. I've still got some other pieces in the line-up with their tags still on – it makes dressing quite a joy…

Today I went to my niece's 10th birthday – the theme… Fashion Party!! So naturally, there was hair, there was make-up, there was nails, and there was fashion designing. The perfect girl's day! I was on nail duty for the day but managed to sneak off to the park for some quick snaps – in amongst 'glamourized' girls running riot. Wishing my niece a very happy birthday x

That Samsung Galaxy Note II commercial is dope as hell.
Who cares that it's a contrived view into the "real" life of LeBron Raymone James? They say even in a lie there's at least an ounce of truth. In reality, the commercial shows us what LeBron wants us to think of him.
A family man who makes his kids breakfast (OK, cereal) in the morning (his son's drawing skills are legit). A dude who goes to the barbershop (and watches YouTube clips). A guy who randomly goes into the neighborhood and buys kids ice cream. A person who takes random photos of his shoes. This is the "life" of The King, and he wants us to think he's just like one of us.
We all know that's the furthest thing from the truth, but transparency does wonders for enlightening others who a person really is. In 2012, LeBron simply eviscerated every demon that had crossed his path. Not only did he plow through each one of his yearly goals, he did it in a fashion that in many respects was incomprehensible. Let's go through this chronologically.
The 2012 NBA All-Star Game: LeBron James played a helluva game, but the signature moment of the game was a play that James didn't make. That being attempting a tough cross-court pass for an easier shot, instead of taking a difficult perimeter shot with the game on the line. Kobe Bryant chastised him for not seizing the moment, and Carmelo Anthony could only look on in disbelief as to what transpired. Many would argue that LeBron was looking for a bailout, but in reality it was someone trying to keep his cool when others couldn't keep their head. It would be this lesson that would serve as another notch when the time to shine really mattered.
Game 4, 2012 East Semis vs. Indiana Pacers: The Miami Heat lost Chris Bosh, and the Indiana Pacers were gaining confidence. Paul George and Roy Hibbert were playing inspired basketball. Darren Collison and George Hill were giving Miami fits. Tyler Hansbrough proved he had a 97 annoying rating on NBA 2K13, and Danny Granger had the nerve to try and buck up on LeBron. LeBron responded in a way that only Frank Dux could after getting blinded by Chong Li. Blind rage. 40, 18, and 9 later, the Pacers were disposed of.
Game 6, 2012 East Finals vs. Boston Celtics: If Michael Jordan's ultimate hurdle to a championship was the Detroit Pistons, then LeBron's ultimate hurdle would be the Boston Celtics. Time and time again the Celtics had found a way to outsmart, outhustle and outbang LeBron's crew and thwart their efforts. Rajon Rondo's calling out of The King was defiant and cunning, but Rondo's snapping seemed to be the catalyst that finally made LeBron believe he was indeed unstoppable. He seemed unleashed, like an energetic child running roughshod through a sandcastle. Then he gave us 45, 15 and 5. Witnessing someone gain this awareness, live, and in living color, was amazing. I imagine it being similar to watching Bobby Fischer figure out how to beat Deep Blue or Beyonce doing that one pelvic gyration in that one video where she wears that onesy.
1:55 remaining, Game 5 of 2012 NBA Finals vs. Oklahoma City Thunder: The unbridled joy of LeBron on the bench, turning up and getting crunk with his teammates. Witnessing him become flooded with emotion. The early bro-hug with Kevin Durant. Sharing a smile with his coach. Almost becoming weak and tender with the Larry O'Brien Trophy. "It's about damn time." The rawness of the moment was something truly enjoyable to watch, almost like you were peering into a moment you weren't supposed to see.
2012 Olympics in London: Usurping power from others comes in unique ways. During the Olympics, claiming the alpha dog role of the team and being the unquestioned leader was astounding. I mean, that's Kobe's job, right? Even Kobe had to relinquish that role … okay, let me stop. It had to be ripped away from Kobe's cold, dead hands. It was the only way it would happen, and LeBron was the one to do it. He was at the height of his superpowers, and even Bean knew it. Plus, LeBron got that extra second of an embrace from The First Lady, and I bet she smelled like baby's breath and Hennessy at the same damn time.
The Fall of 2012: From the LeBron X's, to that damn Samsung commercial, to luring Jesus Shuttlesworth to Miami, there's been an air of defiance in what's gone on during the second half of the year. While so many things seem so manicured in LeBron's journey, these moves almost feel more diabolically calculating. A $300 shoe? (Of course folks have lined up all year to purchase it. Ask Kenny.) A 3-minute long commercial that has run non-stop since the beginning of the season? (Got damn I want one bad.) Miami's found ways to upgrade their squad, and LeBron's still looks like the unstoppable force and the immovable object at the same damn time.
Back to that damn commercial though.
Sometimes I wonder if the person in the commercial is really him. That The King could be so personable and deprecating with his kids. That The King could be in the barbershop, asking for the #23 on the haircut chart and the folks laughing at him for asking for a haircut that he can't attain because of his receding hairline. That The King is as selfless with "the people" as he is on the basketball court. That The King is really just like us when he has a quiet moment by himself.
It's not I'm convinced that the commercial is real, but it's the fact that the way LeBron carried it in 2012, I'm willing to believe the commercial a little more than I probably should.

Sidewalks up For Debate at Tomorrow's Meeting
Passionate residents, don't forget that tomorrow is University Park's biweekly City Council meeting. The shindig will start at 5 p.m. at City Hall.
One topic up for discussion is sidewalk and right-of-way improvements for building permits valued over $10,000. Apparently, the way the law now stands can be "especially burdensome for property owners performing emergency roof repairs or simply applying for HVAC, electrical and plumbing permits."
Have you experienced this issue? Come out tomorrow night and speak up.

What does the law actually say regarding sidewalk and right-of-way improvements for building permits valued over $10,000? What burden is put on people if they are over the $10,000?
Ah…thanks for the clarification Sarah, much appreciated.

A Simple Math Test For Enlightenment
Here's the equation: You + Pine Comb = Enlightenment.
See, yesterday I was at a spiritual workshop and one of my teachers spoke briefly about the pineal gland, it's relationship to meditation, and how it is our gateway into higher consciousness.
He also shared that the pineal gland has significant symbology and is named after the pine comb. In fact, the largest statute in the world of a pine comb resides in the "Court of the Cone" inside Vatican City.
Interesting, huh?
As is true with many synchronicities in my life, I feel this information must have been Divinely timed because I had already planned to share this guest message with you from Amish Shah about the power of our pineal gland.
On a related note, if you haven't yet registered for his free 'Reality Hacking' webinar, click here.
And now get ready for a pineal adventure into higher consciousness…
"The Power of Your Pineal Gland"
– by Amish Shah, Project Yourself
Did you know that the very center of your brain is home to a raisin-sized gland that just might be the key to the Universe?
Your pineal gland is a tiny organ (yep, about the size of a raisin) located at the very center of your cranium. Despite its small size, the role it plays in your spiritual evolution is more important than any other single part of your body.
Want proof? Consider this: Your pineal receives more blood flow per cubic area than any other gland in your body. In other words, compared to all your other organs – including your lungs, your heart and your brain – this tiny little gland gets the highest concentration of energy.
I like to call the pineal gland "The Insomniac's Problem Child." It is super-sensitive to light. In fact, it's the key player in your sleep and waking cycles. Here's why: when light strikes the retina of your eyes, it travels through a tiny nerve system and into the gland. When the lights go off (like at night) it sends a signal to the pineal to begin secreting melatonin, which activates your nervous system to go into sleep mode.
Of course, that's when everything is working right…
When your pineal gland is compromised, it doesn't necessarily work when you need it to. This is why I call it the insomniac's 'problem child'. Did you know that today, more than 30% of the population in the US suffers from insomnia? And while stress plays a major role here, we can't ignore the fact that a compromised pineal gland (which most Americans have, as I'll share later) doesn't produce melatonin the way it's supposed to.
On a more spiritually inclined note, in the ancient Vedic energy system of the chakras, the pineal gland is referred to as 'Ajna' or '3rd Eye' chakra. This is because the ancients knew that, in fact, the pineal gland functions very much like an eye – an inner eye.
Modern studies reveal that the gland's watery interior contains rods and cones – just like those found in the retina of your eyes! That's right, your '3rd eye' has a structure remarkably similar to your two physical ones. This is why when you visualize something strongly enough, you can literally see it "in your mind's eye."
With these proven properties: high blood flow, a connection to your sleep cycles, and retinal-like rods and cones, the pineal gland obviously plays an important role in your overall well-being. Unfortunately for most of us, this gland is atrophied, dormant and calcified to the point of uselessness.
Why is this?
Research reveals another fascinating tidbit about your pineal gland: it secretes a substance called Dimethyltryptamine (DMT). DMT is a hallucinatory substance that is also found in the South American shamanic brew called Ayahuasca.
The interesting thing about DMT is that it induces experiences that can take you well beyond common states of awareness. In fact, it can unleash your dormant 'super powers' and enable you to access a higher consciousness.
One definition describes the effects of DMT this way: "Profound time dilation, time travel, journeys to paranormal realms, encounters with spiritual beings or other mystical / trans-dimensional modalities."
In other words, your pineal is, in part anyway, designed for trans-dimensional access. But when it's calcified, it keeps you literally 'locked in' to this 3rd dimensional reality. You are literally blocked from your 'super powers' and potential as a higher-conscious being.
For most of us, our pineal becomes dormant early in life. This is due to a number of factors, but it's primarily caused by toxins, which calcify the liquid within the gland. In fact, medical science refers to the pineal as the 'atrophied' 3rd eye because by the time you are 12 years old, it is already calcified and hardened. By the time you are an adult? It's atrophied entirely!
The biggest calcification culprit is the toxic chemical fluoride, added to drinking water and toothpaste in many parts of the United States. Heavily processed foods, carbonated drinks and a lack of natural sunlight are also to blame.
Fortunately it is possible to re-awaken your pineal, and when you do, you'll have greater access to information and insight beyond your five physical senses. An awakened pineal will also help you accelerate learning, enhance your creativity, grow in wisdom, develop your innate psychic healing abilities and even experience states of bliss.
The pineal glands been called the 'Seat of the Soul', 'Gateway to the Universe', the 'Mind's Eye' or 'Doorway to Higher Realms.' You could even argue that it's the gateway that literally lets you 'see' into time and space in a non-linear way. Whatever you call it, the pineal is the key that unlocks the door between your normal, waking state and, well, the entire universe.
But here's the deal… like parachutes and minds, your pineal gland only works if it's 'open'.
Re-awakening your pineal takes commitment and a great deal of work. The benefits though, far outweigh the effort it takes to get you there. Here are five quick and easy ways you can begin to decalcify and re-awaken your true power source, your divine connection, your 3rd eye pineal gland:
- Get more direct sunlight
- Eliminate or minimize processed foods from your diet
- Decrease your processed sugar intake
- Use fluoride-free toothpaste and drink non-fluoridated water
- Reduce your carbonated drink intake
Finally and most importantly: if you truly want to wake-up your pineal gland and activate your true power, you must commit yourself to a meditation practice. Even more powerful is one that uses a sacred symbol to focus your intent.
One of the most powerful sacred symbols of all – and an ideal symbol for pineal activation – is the Sri Yantra. Yogis and master manifestors since before recorded history have used this ancient symbol in order to achieve the highest states of consciousness of all!
When you follow these guidelines, then project a powerful intention to awaken your pineal gland through specific types of meditative practice, you'll begin to connect to higher states of consciousness – and your 'super powers' – with greater consistency and ease.
Rule Your Reality,
I hope you enjoyed this article from Amish. In case you're wondering from my last email what the symbol was on Amish's necklace that inspired me to ask him about it, it is the Sri Yantra.
In his free 'Reality Hacking' webinar, Amish shares exactly what this symbol is and why it has empowered him to succeed in every aspect of life.
He'll also share with you his journeys with spirituality, success, losing it all, finding his soulmate, and everything including and in between those adventures… as well as a cute family picture with his wife and child.
|Watch Now >>>>
At the end of his webinar, Amish will also invite you to check out his new program that uses this ancient knowledge to 'hack' our current reality.
I'm already doing it and loving what I've learned so far.
Still, even if you're not interested in taking the next steps with him, I definitely encourage you to watch the webinar replay. Amish's story is amazing and you'll be sure to find value in what he shares and the unique meditation technique he'll walk you through.
What he's sharing is underground, something I'd never even heard of before until I met Amish, and it's about using a cutting-edge ancient (is that an oxymoron?) approach to be ahead of the metaphorical pack and really look at how to co-create reality through a new lens.
In his webinar, he'll also walk you through a meditation exercise that you've probably never done before.
Watch Amish's 'Reality Hacking' Webinar Now
Amish's approach is quite different than what is being shared out there, including my own bodies of work as well as what I normally share.
Take a little while to watch his webinar, learn about the Sri Yantra, and also try out the meditation he shares…
You'll be glad you did.

Reflecting Franklin & Marshall College's leadership in initiatives to promote college success for talented students from all backgrounds, F&M President Daniel R. Porterfield is one of four college presidents nationwide participating as a panelist in NBC News' 'Education Nation' Summit 2013.
Continuing its commitment to providing educational opportunities for talented students from all backgrounds, Franklin & Marshall College has selected five students from Lancaster County to receive awards through the Franklin & Marshall College Faculty and Professional Staff (FPS) Scholarship Fund.
Associate Professor of Marketing Jeff Podoshen studies post-war consumerism and our motivations to buy material goods. In this interview, part of an occasional feature called "Three Questions," Podoshen discusses the relationship between materialism and conspicuous consumption.
Six years after Franklin & Marshall College designated a 52-acre portion of the campus an arboretum, the College is advocating for an official botanical recognition, as a "Tree Campus USA" school, from the Arbor Day Foundation.
Professor of History Van Gosse has created a seminar-style course for F&M students and public lecture series: "Irregular War: Guerrillas, Partisans, Bandits, and Mujahedeen," which examines the history, theory, and practice of guerilla warfare and counter-insurgency throughout the modern era.
Franklin & Marshall this fall is recognizing its 14th president's contributions with the completion of the "John A. Fry College House Green," a residential quadrangle bordered by the four original College Houses.
As part of efforts to be a leading institution in helping college students from underserved communities succeed academically, Franklin & Marshall College is expanding a faculty-led advising model with support from the Booth Ferris Foundation.
Water bottle filling stations, solar trash compactors and single-stream recycling are among the newest tools for sustainability to arrive on the Franklin & Marshall College campus this fall.
In autumn 1825, an unknown artist went into the Catskill Mountains and two months later emerged in New York City with paintings that launched an American art movement. Selected masterworks of artists of the Hudson River School will be shown this fall at the Phillips Museum of Art at Franklin & Marshall College. "The Hudson River to Niagara Falls: 19th-Century American Landscape Paintings from the New-York Historical Society" runs from Sept. 13 to Dec. 15.
In the three years since F&M President Daniel R. Porterfield launched the initiative, F&M College Prep's influence and participation by rising high school seniors has grown. This year, 71 students traveled from 13 states across the country to participate in the three-week, pre-college immersion program.
