I have made this twice now. The marinade is great and I love the mixture of warm rice, grilled shrimp and crisp julienned vegetables. My partner said, "I could eat this every day." I couldn't find the Korean chile paste locally, so we just used Chile Garlic sauce. Fantastic.
Bibimbap with Grilled Shrimp & Mushrooms
From EatingWell: July/August 2010
Bibimbap, a bowl full of sticky rice topped with several vegetables, meat or seafood and a fried egg, is one of the most iconic dishes of Korea. The artfully arranged little piles of vegetables may include carrots, spinach, mung bean sprouts and cucumbers. This tasty version has grilled portobello mushrooms and shrimp.
2 Reviews for Bibimbap with Grilled Shrimp & Mushrooms
One family member said she could eat this every day. The marinade was excellent. We could not find Korean chile paste locally, but we substituted with other Asian chile sauce. But the grilled shrimp and mushrooms paired well with the julienned fresh cool vegetables and the warm rice. And the egg on top is just fun. Yummy. We are making this again this weekend for company.

Secretary of State candidate launches smartphone app for election
Idaho Secretary of State candidate Holli Woodings announced Tuesday that the Woodings for Idaho team has launched a smartphone app designed to make information about the upcoming November 4 election more accessible.
IdaVotes!, a free app available in the iPhone App Store and Google Play Store, is the essential tool for this year's election.
IdaVotes! provides links to the websites, Facebook pages and background information of federal, state and legislative candidates in the user's home legislative district. It also has maps to polling locations and links to county election websites.
Woodings says she hopes the app encourages greater voter participation in the upcoming election.
"Our communities are stronger when people participate in the civic process," Woodings said. "This app is designed to give voters convenient information to help make informed decisions in the voting booth."

August 13, 2010
Waynesboro police say a man and a woman, posing as Dominion Power workers have been trying to steal from people in the city this week.
The cases are very similar to cases reported in Augusta County.
Police say a well-dressed man and woman approached two houses on Rosser Avenue Wednesday, talking about tree trimming operations in the area. While the woman spoke to the resident, her partner searched the homes and took what he could find.
Both victims are elderly, and one of them had a hundred dollars stolen.
"It hasn't hit Waynesboro in two or three years, but we have seen this type of crime before," Said Waynesboro Police Sargent Kelly Walker. "They take advantage of people who are trusting."
Sgt. Walker warns residents to be careful when dealing with unwelcome visitors. "Anytime they are approached at their home, they should do business with people they don't know outside their home, and be very wary."

2014 SG Adonys Henriquez commits to Central Florida
Sep 29, 2013, 1:30 PM EST
Donnie Jones is at it again. Less than two weeks after earning a commitment from Alex Owens, a top player in the class of 2015 from from Orlando, FL, Jones received good news on Sunday morning when Adonys Henriquez verbally committed to play at Central Florida.
Henriquez, like Jones, is from Orlando and is ranked as a Top 100 recruit in ESPN's class of 2014 rankings.
ESPN's Reggie Rankin broke the news:
Henriquez formerly committed to Miami (FL), but backed out of that commitment in late August. Back out of Miami to commit to Central Florida — that's really saying something as to what Henriquez thinks of the program Donnie Jones is building at UCF. The fact that two of the top players in Florida are heading to UCF rather than the big three schools — Florida, Florida State, or Miami — is pretty darn impressive.
Having been an assistant at Florida for Billy Donovan from 1996-2007, prior to being the head coach at Marshall from 2007-10, it's clear Jones knows what it takes to recruit in the Sunshine state.
Along with UCF, Butler was courting Henriquez very hard; just last weekend, Henriquez was on an official visit to Butler.

Repeat guests of the Marriott Wardman Park hotel, on Connecticut Avenue in Northwest Washington, may notice a change of scenery at the property if they come for a stay this spring: a new building under construction just next door.
So...what's going on with construction at the Marriott Wardman Park?
Once upon a time, before the real estate bust (in 2005), the JBG Cos. and Los Angeles-based CIM Group purchased the Wardman Park Hotel for $300 million. The housing market was so hot at the time that the developers planned to transform the hotel into a condominium community. On an unbuilt part of the 16-acre property, they would also build another 200-plus condominiums.
After that, things took a turn for the worse. Not only did the housing market and national economy collapse, but Marriott resisted JBG's plans to turn the hotel into condos. Keeping it as a hotel, however, became less palatable when District officials agreed to spend $550 million to build a convention center hotel downtown. JBG then sued the District over the convention center hotel plans and Marriott issued its own suit. In 2010 the parties settled, allowing the Wardman Park to remain a hotel but JBG to build its separate housing building. (If you know what else is in that settlement, please e-mail me right this minute.)
The new addition will be an eight-story, 211-unit apartment building, rather than condos. Designed by District-based architect David M. Schwarz, it is under construction now with completion scheduled for the first quarter of 2014. Originally dubbed Wardman West, JBG now tells me it will be called 2700 Woodley. The project will offer a chance to live next to the District's largest hotel — that is until the 1,167-room convention center hotel is completed a few months later.

Marketers increasingly are using online ads to try to persuade people to check out their brands' Facebook and Twitter posts, rather than directly touting the company's products and services. These ads let brands build more solid relationships with shoppers and increase the return on display- or video-advertising campaigns, advertising executives say. "Social media is not a tactic that stands alone from your advertising campaigns," said Chris Karl, a senior vice president at Kontera.

[After invading Cam'ron's New York show heading into the weekend, Smoke DZA gives SOHH readers the inside on his unexpected performance and reveals what's really, really good with Killa.]
Me and Killa, that's my big brother. We're cool. I happened to be in the city and I gave him a call. Actually, I texted him. I said, "Yo, I see you're rocking Stage 48 tonight, I'm gonna come f*ck with you."
I wasn't really planning on performing. I just wanted to come through because I f*ck with Killa. That's my brother and one of my favorite guys to listen to rap. I hit him up and he was like, "Yeah, come f*ck with me." The next thing was, "Yo, you wanna perform?" So I said, "Yeah, why not?"
It worked like that, Smoke came out the backstage and the rest is history.
EME, those are my guys, but that footage didn't do it justice. None of the footage that came out actually did it justice. You had to be there to really understand that and really see what was going on and just to see how the crowd reacted. That sh*t was very overwhelming.
Harlem is always excited when we're f*cking with each other because us n*ggas, we don't f*ck with a lot of people and we barely f*ck with each other. In these times and these days, there's a lot of unity going on in my city.
Being from Harlem, actually being an authentic Harlem guy and really outside, to get a chance to f*ck with Killa and f*ck with Jim [Jones], and all these acts that get put on, for my city, for my town, for my borough, it feels good.

In our last post, we looked at ESCOs (Energy Service Companies) and examined how they are using (or not using) social media. We observed that only a few ESCOs were taking advantage of social media to connect with customers, their target market, and for recruitment purposes. With this in mind, let us see what opportunities they might be missing, or can be improved upon.
Social Media Playbook for ESCOs
Before doing that, two issues need to be addressed. First, ESCOs should decide which social media platforms are most relevant to their customers, target market, and business objectives. Second, formulate a strategy as to how you'll use each social media platform. Often this strategy is called a social media playbook.
Let us take a brief look at the basics of a social media playbook. Essentially it will be a document that establishes what your business objectives are. For example, is it to curate and retain current customers, acquire new customers, generate leads, gather feedback on your firms reputation, and/or for use as part of your customer service. In addition it will layout ground rules for when and how to engage and how to measure outcomes.
Two helpful resources in understanding what a social media playbook is and how to use it are offered by Radian6 and Eloqua.
Opportunities In Social Media
The first opportunity we observed missing from ESCOs use of social media was incorporating a connection from their website to their presence on social media and back from social media to the website. This reciprocation was evident on BlueRock Energy's website use of social media icons near the upper left hand corner of their website. On the other hand, a few ESCOs had no reference to their presence on social media or a reference to their website on their social media property.
Opportunities With LinkedIn
A more specific opportunity concerned the use of LinkedIn. As we saw with BlueRock Energy and Ambit Energy, each of these ESCOs has a presence on LinkedIn. Linkedin provides these ESCOs several opportunities for connecting with their current and potential business customers. Let us look at these opportunities more in detail.
First, LinkedIn offers the Company Page on which an ESCO can build a robust profile concerning itself and its services. With this profile, an ESCO can request reviews of its services, recruit employees, network with other businesses, and obtain followers.
Second, assuming that the employees of the ESCO are using LinkedIn, this provides a networking opportunity. If the employees of a ESCO are on LinkedIn, they'll most likely have listed the ESCO as their employer. When anyone browsing looks at that employee's profile, they'll see the connection to the ESCO and may very well click on the company name listed. This provides a channel to reach potential customers through the ESCOs employee.
An excellent summary of how to use LinkedIn for business is offered by Hubspot.
To summarize, LinkedIn can provide ESCOs an effective method to connect with their business customers or potential customers.
Opportunities With Facebook
Now that we've consider a platform that primarily focuses on connecting with business customers, let us switch to one that is more in-tune with connecting with the residential consumer of energy. Facebook is the largest social network at the present time. During our review of ESCOs, we discovered that the two most active ESCOs with a Facebook presence were Bluerock Energy and U.S. Gas & Electrics.
Other ESCOs may want to consider looking what BlueRock Energy has done. Looking over their Facebook page you'll notice they have a fresh stream of content, and they have gone and liked other pages. The purpose of liking other pages is to create connections (networking) with other pages which may be customers or could be potential customers. You've taken an interest in that businesses page and in theory the page administrator for that other page will like your page back. This also serves to increase brand awareness.
Even though Bluerock Energy is a good example of how to use a Facebook page, there are several missed opportunities. If we visit Constellation energy's Facebook page, you'll notice that they use the "Custom Tab" area (Labeled B) to offer links to special offers and to where a potential customer can sign up. Constellations Energy's "About" section (A) on their main page serves as a clear description as to what they are about. And they've selected their "Category". On the other hand, Bluerock Energy does not have their "About" section and "Category" (A) completed in the manner as Constellation Energy. Nor are they using the "Custom Tabs" (B) . One other worthy note is Constellation has decided to define the rules of engagement for its Facebook users – House Rules (C). By defining these rules of engagement, Constellation Energy provides a guideline for its users as to what is expected of them.
There are a few opportunities within Facebook that they are not using. For example, the use of promotions, such as asking fans to recruit other customers by offering a percentage off their next bill for each new customer that signs up. You can read more about using promotions at this Mashable article. Only one ESCO chose to add a link to Twitter within their custom tab area. This may be useful as some Facebook fans may use Twitter as well for their social media platform.
Two excellent sources on leveraging your business Facebook page are offered by QuickSprout and Hubspot.
Opportunities With Twitter
Now, let's take a look at Twitter and how ESCOs might leverage it to connect and cultivate its current and potential customers. As we observed from our list of ESCOs, some are actively using Twitter. For example Bluerock Energys Tweets contained useful content that concerns its industry and content about its services with a link back to its website.
First, consider using a custom background that includes design elements that are helpful to your audience. Looking at Constellation Energys Twitter page we can see on the left-hand side they share key contact information. One element they could add is their UVP (Unique Value Proposition) that explains how they can or have helped their target market. For example, save on your energy needs with Constellation.
Next, what wasn't observed was the use of favorite Tweets as testimonials. This works by identifying those tweets which can serve as a testimonial to your service or product. You'll mark them as a favorite. Once you have a few, they can be displayed on your website. Note, before deploying this tactic take into consideration whether the person who tweeted the message is agreeable to having it used in this manner and whether using such a widget elegantly fits into to your website. You can learn more about using this tactic at Social Media Examiner.
One other opportunity missed was the use of Twitter lists. An ESCO could create either a public list or private list. Public lists can serve several needs such as cultivation of potential customers, reinforcement of your brand awareness, and connecting with relevant influencers. Private lists on the other hand can be used for such purposes as keeping track of current customers, monitoring competitors, and interacting with suppliers and employees. Social Media Examiner and Marketing Land both offer interesting articles on the subject.
Two useful resources for learning more about leveraging Twitter are Social Media Examiners interview with Mark Schaefer on using Twitter for marketing and Hubspots Twitter for Business Marketing Kit.
In summary, there are many opportunities for ESCOs concerning the use of social media. The how and why of this usage is something they would have to determine for themselves in order to meet their business objectives.

Obama names economic recovery team
Permanent link
WASHINGTON (2/09/09)—President Barack Obama Friday announced the members of his new Economic Recovery Advisory Board, to be led by former Federal Reserve Board Chairman Paul Volcker. The announcement followed the release of statistics that showed the economy lost another 600,000 jobs last month. In a blog posting on the White House website, Obama was quoted as saying his new board is comprised of Democrats and Republicans to ensure the policies it helps to develop "have the benefit of independent thought and vigorous debate."

* William Donaldson, chairman, SEC (2003-2005); * Roger Ferguson Jr., president/CEO, TIAA-CREF; * Robert Wolf, chairman/CEO, UBS Group Americas; * David F. Swensen, CIO, Yale University; * Mark T.

(NCUA) recently met with four representatives of the Japanese Agricultural and Fishery Cooperative Savings Insurance Corporation (SIC). SIC insures saving at agricultural and fishery cooperatives in Japan and the four representatives came to NCUA to learn more about the American credit union system. NCUA Chairman Michael Fryzel, NCUA board member Gigi Hyland, and NCUA staff discussed topics ranging from the structure of federal credit unions to share insurance and its federal backing. Fryzel said after the meeting that the SIC officials will be able to "go back to Japan and utilize the information learned to help enhance their own credit union system." Hyland added, "These are the types of meetings that help the credit unions of the world perform to the best of their ability. At NCUA we find it important to assist the world credit union system and aid in its success via the opportunities afforded to us."… * WASHINGTON (2/9/09)—New U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is expected to face some hostile questions tomorrow when he testifies before the Senate Banking Committee, (

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN's John Clayton: Bucs quarterback Mike Glennon 'not ready for prime time'
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are turning to rookie quarterback Mike Glennon for their Week 4 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals Sunday, and that doesn't bode well for the Bucs, according to ESPN NFL Insider John Clayton.
"To make this move now, to me, is very curious," Clayton told Doug and Wolf on Arizona Sports 620 Friday. "Because when you looked at the preseason, Mike Glennon wasn't there. And even people who are watching him in the preseason say he's not ready for prime time at this stage.
"He's kind of statuesque, and that's not a real positive, in the pocket -- I mean he is kind of like a statue anyway when he throws."
Clayton cited Glennon's struggles in the preseason as well. The North Carolina State product completed just 47.1 percent (33-of-70) of his throws for 397 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions in four exhibition games.
There are other factors which Clayton believes will make things difficult for Glennon in his maiden NFL voyage.
"Has (Bucs head coach) Greg Schiano not looked at the injury list," he asked. "Vincent Jackson has not practiced this week. Also, Mike Williams has not practiced this week. There's a chance that one or two of those guys aren't going to be able to play.
"To put in a quarterback, who in his last preseason game completed 43 percent of his passes? Very curious."
When the Bucs made the move earlier this week, Arizona head coach Bruce Arians said he thought it gave the Cardinals an advantage.
Glennon replaces Josh Freeman, who became Tampa Bay's starting quarterback during his rookie season in 2009 and has compiled a 24-35 record in his career.

The upcoming documentary More Than a Game follows Lebron James as he rises from high school phenomenon to NBA superstar, much like a certain southern rapper emerged from the streets to become a hip-hop legend, so it only made sense that T.I. would contribute a track to the movie's soundtrack. First leaked months ago, the official version of King on the Set has finally been released, this time with a guest feature by Dro instead of B.G., but the same fast paced King-era flow from T.I. (the man's dropped more quality work from prison than most free rappers). The More Than a Game soundtrack is scheduled to be released Sept. 28. For his part, T.I. is scheduled to be released May, 2010. It's good to be the king.

Studerâs Vista 8 Console Is Installed at Trinity Broadcasting Networkâs Nashville Production Facility
The Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) is the worldâs largest religious network and Americaâs most-watched faith channel, reaching 104 million households worldwide. Recently, the Trinity Broadcasting Network revamped its Nashville production facility from standard-broadcast analog to high-definition digital, and selected a Studer Vista 8 console as a key component of its upgrade. In addition to the Vista 8, TBN has outfitted seven control and edit rooms in its Nashville facility with JBL LSR4300 Series studio monitors.
Russell Hall, TBN Nashvilleâs Station Manager, explained TBNâs reasons for choosing the Studer Vista 8: âWeâre a global broadcaster, the sixth-largest broadcaster in the world. We produce a wide range of content including Christian educational, worship, variety, music, entertainment, childrenâs and even sitcom programming. We recognized that our existing 16-year-old analog broadcast facility could no longer meet our growing requirements, and upgrading it involved nothing less than a complete overhaul. Basically, we gutted everything and went from analog broadcast straight to HDTV.â?
âFor us, there was no other choice but the Vista 8, because of its audio routing capabilities and flexibility,â? Hall continues. âTBN had already done three HD renovations of other production centers, and we had been putting in a complicated system of audio routers. We found that the Vista 8 eliminated the need for all of that–the Vista 8 can handle all of our complex audio routing needs with capability to spare. Its touchscreen control interface is easy to use–which is especially important for live TV broadcasts–and its sound quality is excellent.â?
âWe have many facilities in one, including a 1,400-seat auditorium, a park area thatâs wired for outdoor shoots, and a recording studio,â? says Greg Malenovsky, head engineer at TBN Nashville. âSo weâre doing lots of different programming from lots of different places, and all I need to do with the Vista 8 is recall the settings for each show. I can reconfigure easily so everything I need for a specific shoot can be recalled. â
The Studer Vista 8 is an ultimate-performance digital mixing console with the exclusive Vistonics⢠User Interface which provides a clear, easily understandable display of all operating parameters along with fast, easy operation. The Vista 8 offers additional advanced features such as 7.1-channel surround-sound mixing capability, dynamic automation, a sophisticated snapshot system, dedicated mute groups and more. The Vista 8 also enables seamless integration with other Studer products via Studer RELINK network technology.
âAnother advantage is that we already had Soundcraft Vi6 consoles for the studio floors and our theater,â? notes Hall, âso it was much easier to interface the Studer Vista 8 with the Soundcraft consoles. We werenât concerned about the cost as much as with getting in a system that worked seamlessly â but as it turns out, the Vista 8 was less expensive than competitive consoles, in addition to being better suited to our needs. In my opinion, the Vista 8 is the best console in the industry for HD audio/video production.â?
âIn addition to our in-house work, we cater to a wide variety of outside clients and producers who require us to provide complete production services,â? says Hall. âWeâve seen an increase in business as the word has gotten out about our upgraded studio. In fact, some people who didnât necessarily want to partner with us, and who normally would work elsewhere, have now decided to use our facilities.â?
âI love the Vista 8 console for what we need,â? Malenovsky concludes. âAs far as ease of use, sound quality and versatility, we couldnât have chosen a better console.â?

Special Needs Introduction
Sandra Hutchinson, Editor of The Good Schools Guide - Special Educational Needs provides a practical introduction.
Some special needs are easy to spot, others are only determined once a child has experienced considerable difficulties, frustrations or social and emotional problems.
In the years since the first edition of our special needs guide diagnosis of, and provision for SEN have improved but both can still be a minefield. If you are unsure where to start, make this article your first port of call.

Eduard von Bauernfeld was the translator of the version of Shakespeare's 'Who is Sylvia?' which Schubert set to music in 1826 (Was ist Silvia?, D891). Apart from this immortal collaboration, Der Vater mit dem Kind is the only surviving setting that Schubert made of the poetry of this friend who was introduced into the Schubert circle by Moritz von Schwind in 1825. Capell's description of him could not be bettered: 'a lively, scatterbrained youth, one imagines—a Murgeresque bohemian, who later wrote successful light comedies in the French vein … He could talk, joke, play the piano, and drink … Bauernfeld gave us a doubtfully accurate picture of the three (Schubert, Schwind and Bauernfeld himself) sharing one another's lodgings, clothes, and purses—which often meant Schubert's purse—of unflagging activities and spirits, of talk and of merry-makings to all hours of the night'. Bauernfeld provided Schubert with the libretto of his last opera (never completed, alas) Der Graf von Gleichen. He left his post in the Lottery Office to devote himself to full-time writing, and he also edited Shakespeare. It is almost certain that Schubert set Der Vater mit dem Kind from the poet's manuscript, and it seems possible that Bauernfeld provided the composer with a poem that he knew full well would engage his friend's emotions. It seems that Schubert was close enough to the poet to have shared all his hopes, frustrations and dreams with him.

Japanese Soba noodles can be found in the imported foods aisle of the supermarket or at health food stores. Soba noodles are made from wheat and buckwheat flours, making the noodles a high protein meal. If buckwheat noodles are a little weird for you, use Italian pasta.
What You'll Need: Serves 3-4
*8-ounces Japanese Soba noodles, or Chinese egg noodles
*3 green onions
*1/2 cup bottled Asian peanut sauce
*1/2 cucumber, peeled
*1 small, sweet red pepper
*1 lime
Optional: 5-ounce package of frozen salad shrimp, defrosted (or any cooked, peeled frozen shrimp, cilantro sprigs
What You'll Do:
1. In a large saucepan, prepare the pasta according to the directions on the package. Have an adult help you pour the hot pasta into a colander. Drain and rinse with cold water; shake the colander to get rid of excess water. Pour the noodles into a large mixing bowl.
2. Add the peanut sauce and toss with the noodles. Chop the green onions into small circles and toss into the salad. Taste to see if the noodles need more sauce, salt, and pepper.
3. Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise. With the cut side down, slice into thin semi-circles. Cut the red pepper into quarters and cut into very thin strips. Slice the lime in half, then into half circles. Rinse the baby salad shrimp under cold water, if using. (You must eat the shrimp the day they're defrosted.)
To Serve: Place some noodles in a shallow bowl or plate. Place a small pile of cucumbers and a few slices of red pepper on top. Put a spoonful of shrimp on top of the veggies and a sprig of cilantro, if you have it.
Other Ideas: Add lightly steamed sugar snap peas (pods) or snow peapods when in season.
Note: Peanut sauces can vary – make sure you taste it before you use it. It should taste like spicy peanut butter.

This is the same fabric I used for my peter pan collar dress, the print is a bit wild so I used to collar to calm it down and contrast it. I love the look of scallops and I've seen them in shops, I saw a top in topshop that was great, but overpriced. So I wanted to make something very simple, just a basic tank top, and added the scalloped flair. It's very light and good for anything really.
The fabric colours make me think of citrus fruits, perfect for summer :)
Plenty of photos on the blog too

With Nintendo dropping four new Virtual Console titles every Monday, Sega Nerds has posted a list of ten sequels they'd like to see on a console near you. Heck, we just got Ecco the Dolphin this past Monday, so is this list timely or what?
For us, the ones we'd really like to see are either an update of Skies of Arcadia, or some new hotness from Streets of Rage. We'd forgotten that game even existed until the picture slapped us across the face. Punching and kicking at its best.
What Sega classics (and we're using that term lightly) would you like to see? While you're busy wishing, Joystiq wants a solid gold PlayStation 3. Just a little holiday FYI.

Product description
A full-blown account of one of the toughest yacht races on the calendar, as author Rob Mundle traces the passage of one of the top teams through the most inhospitable sees on earth in search of glory. Recognised as one of the premier endurance challenges in world yacht racing, the Volvo Ocean Race, formerly known as the Whitbread Round the World Yacht race, is a test of man against the sea, with skill, determination and courage key factors. Rob Mundle follows the crew of the Team News Corp boat, skippered by Briton Jez Fanstone, from the starting port of Southampton in September 2002, to the finish in Kiel, Germany nine months and 32,700 nautical miles later. Having survived broken rudders, damaged sails, a near fatal collision and appalling weather and living conditions, but also having observed some truly amazing sights, the crew have a fascinating story to tell as they battle against the cream of the world's sailing community while struggling to keep their wits about them under extreme physical and mental pressure. A leg-by-leg, blow-by-blow white-knuckle adventure story, Ocean Warriors is vintage Rob Mundle, interspersed with the words of the competitors themselves and exclusive photographs of the yachts and crews in action. Like the race itself, it's nailbiting stuff.

Jessica + Joshua Randolph
Jessica and Joshua Randolph tied the knot on September 20, 2014 in Nashville, TN. Jessica looked absolutely beautiful on her wedding day in her Olia Zavozina, "Lauren" gown! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together!
How did you meet your husband?
I met my husband when he was touring with his rock & roll band 4 years ago. He had shaggy long hair and was the lead singer, and I just so happened to attend one of his concerts when I was 18. I saw him singing on stage and felt so attracted to him that I blurted out to my friends "I'm going to wake up to that face every morning for the rest of my life!" They all laughed, but I was serious. I didn't believe in love at first sight at the time, but it without-a-doubt happened to me. I felt like I was connected to him by a string and couldn't explain it. After he was finished singing he walked off stage and I waited in line at the merchandise table to talk to him and buy a CD. We spoke for a few short minutes and then he was gone. 9 months later, I stumbled upon his CD in my messy bedroom and I decided to listen to it. As soon as the first song came on I instantly remembered how I felt about him that day at the concert. So, like any other girl, I stalked him on Facebook and finally found his personal page and I wrote on his wall. 3 months later we were long-distance dating, and 3 years later we got engaged. He was my first kiss and my first real boyfriend.
Tell us about your proposal.
Josh went above and beyond. Being 6 years older than me, he was ready to get married way before I was. He had planned two other proposals that got ruined due to me picking up on his hints and getting scared to say yes (I was 21 for pete's sake!). But I knew I would marry him when the time was right. He decided that the third time was going to be a for-sure YES from me. So last November, I went to work on a regular Thursday morning. My boss told me she wanted to take me to a meeting near the airport. So, I went with her. It wasn't until she actually pulled into the exit for the airport that I started getting suspicious. She is terrible at directions so I told her to make a U-turn because she got off the wrong exit. She didn't make the turn, and instead continued into departures. I was so confused; until I saw my boyfriend standing with my suitcase and a sign that said "Happy Birthday Jessica". I started to hyperventilate. WHAT?!?! Were we going somewhere?! I had so many meetings that day I could not comprehend getting on a plane. But we did. And he didn't tell me where we were going. People must have thought I was going into labor at the airport from all the squeals and jumping up and down and jaw-dropped stares at my soon-to-be fiancé. We got to the gate, still having no clue where we were headed. Josh looks at me, and then taps an old lady that was sitting in the gate, on the shoulder and asked "Excuse me, Miss. Where is this plane going?" And she answered in an excited voice, "Barcelona!". I lost it. I absolutely lost it. I had never been out of the country. Josh flew me to SPAIN. He took me on a world wind adventure (and spent every last dime in his bank account to do so). He proposed to me on a small island called Majorka outside of Spain and got down on one knew with his great-grandma's ring from the 1920's (the ring box was a compass that he cleared out to make room for the ring. He had the ring hiding in this shoe the entire trip, waiting for the perfect moment to pop the question. It was beyond any movie I had ever seen, and any dream I could have come up in my head as a 15 year old girl waiting for her prince. It was my story, and it was real, and it was perfect.
Details on your big day.
We got married 10 months later in the country side of Nashville, TN. It was an outdoor wedding filled with flowers, oversized balloons, kites, nearby horses, stringed lights, candlesticks in wine bottles, and lots of love.
What was your favorite part about your wedding?
During the ceremony, Josh & I washed each others feet. Although we were pretty great planners, we did not account for the amount of time we would have to put our shoes back on. So, after both our feet were washed, we looked at each other, and said with our eyes "I guess we will be going barefoot" as the song was ending. We said our vows with no shoes on, and he carried me down the isle with my bare feet high in the air. It was impromptu and very special to me.
Tell us about your honeymoon.
Costa Rica! Our honeymoon was spent with many Corona's with lime, surfing, resting in our vacation-rental which was a luxurious hut near the beach, riding bikes into town for lunch, snorkeling, horse-back riding, and making love!
How is married life?
Married life has been more exciting than what I thought it would be! We didn't live together before we got married, and that has made a huge difference. It has been a big transition with him moving into my apartment and us unpacking wedding gift after wedding gift. We are learning how to communicate about little things like "who takes out the trash?" and "why can't you put your shoes in the closet when you get home?" and "how hard is it to squeeze the toothpaste from the end of the tube?" But regardless it's lovely and waking up every morning to your best friend is the greatest part of all.

2014 CMA Red Carpet
Living in Music City has its many perks, country music being one of its main attractions. So when the 2014 CMA Awards took place last night we could not wait to see the red carpet fashion! The ladies of country music graced the red carpet in style that was definitely red carpet ready. This year we thought it would be fun to take those looks and pair them with a similar Olia Zavozina gown, so you can steal their red carpet look for your big day or even a formal party.
Miranda Lambert looks absolutely amazing in her blush evening gown! For a similar look check out our Olia Zavozina Couture Collection for "CiCi" in blush.
Kimberley Williams-Paisley was looking royal in her royal blue fitted dress. "Allie" in blue is sure to make you look red carpet ready as well!
Jennifer Nettles from Sugarland knows that a classic black dress never goes out of style and she definitely proves the point! "Reid" in black has a simple lace overlay for a little twist to a classic style.
Luke Bryan is usually the star of the show, but his wife Caroline was the one grabbing everyones attention last night on the red carpet. If your looking for a similar elegant style for your big day then "Andie" just might be your dress!
Kimberly Schlapman from Little Big Town looked adorable as she took the red carpet last night! The dresses are similar in both color and style. This is the perfect look for a Holiday party this season!
Congratulations to all the artist who took home awards last night and an even bigger congratulations to these celebrities who looked absolutely stunning on the red carpet!
At Olia Zavozina we would love to help style you for your big event and especially for your "big day"! We can help make you red carpet ready for those big occasions. Schedule an appointment today!
Celebrating In Style
What an incredible month August was! We celebrated our Grand Opening with a spectacular party. We wanted to share some of the photos and the excitement that took place. On Tuesday, August 12, 2014, friends, families, brides and fellow bridal enthusiasts graced our store for the chance to celebrate with us. The Journey that has been taken to get us where we are now, is by far the biggest achievement, but lets celebrate the success of our party first! None of the magic could have been possible without the help of some amazingly talented people.
Below we have some pictures from the talented Annabella Charles Photography who helped capture the evening and we have credited each beautiful detail to the creator.

Heidi + Jordan Christie
We are so thrilled to show you all these beautiful photos of this week's Olia bride, Heidi and her groom, Jordan! Heidi looks absolutely stunning in her Olia Zavozina lace wedding gown. Cheers to the happy couple!
How did you and Jordan meet?
We met on a blind date! A friend suggested I might be interested in someone she worked with, so she texted him my phone number and told him he should call. It was truly a "blind" date (he later confessed that he asked a friend to find me on Facebook, but neither one of us has an account!). We met for dinner early in the week and then went out again that weekend. Before the waitress brought our drinks he was already asking to see me again the next day for brunch, and we've been together ever since.
Tell us about the proposal!
We were vacationing in California and spent a few days driving up the coast from LA to San Francisco. I had a small feeling he might propose, but I didn't think he'd had a chance to talk to my Dad and as each day of our trip passed I realized it probably wasn't going to happen. On our last night he planned for us to watch the sunset at Ocean Beach and then meet up with my best friend (who lives in San Francisco) for drinks. He proposed as the sun was setting – it was perfect. I had been looking forward to meeting my friend for drinks, but he definitely raised the excitement level with a ring on my finger! Oh, and he DID ask for my parent's blessing, he just waited until the night before we left so the secret wouldn't be spilled!
We want all of the details of your big day!
Our ceremony was held at Scarritt Bennett Wightman Chapel and the reception was downtown at aVenue. We wanted a simple, classic feeling for the whole day and all our vendors made that vision come together beautifully. We served a tapas-style dinner and had five different cakes and an open bar. Our first dance was "Baby I'm Yours" and my Dad and I danced to "The Way You Look Tonight".
What were some of the most special moments of the day?
Our "first look" before the ceremony was so special. I'd been looking forward to seeing Jordan all day, and the look on his face when he saw me in my dress was one I'll never forget. I felt so beautiful and excited to marry him! Also, his seven-year-old son was thrilled to see us get married and be the ring bearer. We loved sharing our day with him and have been looking forward to officially being a family of three for a very long time.
What was your favorite part of your wedding?
The whole thing! It's hard to say since everything went so smoothly. From getting ready with my mom and sister to saying our vows and celebrating with friends, the entire day was perfect. Oh, and our band was FANTASTIC!
Any advice for future brides?
My best advice is to go with your instincts. There are SO MANY decisions to make and it's easy to get overwhelmed and off track. Just stay organized and try to stay true to what feels right for you and your fiancé.
How did you find your dress?
We'd only been engaged a few days and I wanted to make sure we secured a date for our ceremony at Scarritt Bennett. On the way home from booking the venue my mom and I stopped at Edgehill Village "just for fun". I went into Olia Zavozina hoping to schedule an appointment in a few weeks when my sister would be in town. Olia was in the salon that day preparing for Market in New York and talked me into trying on a few dresses. Before I knew it, I was wearing "the" dress and we ordered it that same day!
Tell us about your honeymoon!
We spent 16 days traveling through London, Bruges and Paris. It was like a dream come true.
How is married life?
Great! We're having fun settling in to life together and are excited about our future as Mr. and Mrs.!
