Sectioned Crocodile by NychosStreet Art // Wednesday, April 18, 2012
Austrian-based dissection artist, Nychos, recently painted this lengthy sectioned crocodile with a skeleton in its intestines somewhere on a building in Vitry, France. His work is getting cleaner and more distinct with each new piece, a natural progression for someone who produces such a high volume of work. This mural is one of our favorite yet!
X-Ray Portrait Art by Xavier LucchesiJuxtapoz // Tuesday, March 20, 2012
And you thought just sitting for a portrait was laborious. French photographer Xavier Lucchesi uses a medical scanner as the basis for his portrait work, where he takes the final X-ray and adds color, highlighting certain shapes or organs. Let's recap: find subject, get them to a x-ray machine, scan them, and then go in and highlight all the vital organs with specific colors that make a beautiful portrait. Got it.
In Erotica: The Legacy of Guy BourdinJuxtapoz // Saturday, March 10, 2012
French fashion photographer Guy Bourdin (b. 1928 - d. 1991) was one of the first fashion photographers to create a complex narrative and then capture the overpowering mood of a single moment, whether it was provocative, exotic, surrealistic, or even sinister. Influenced by his mentor Man Ray, surrealist painters Magritte and Balthaus, and filmmaker Luis Buñuel, Bourdin's work similarly continues to inspire photographers worldwide.
OakOak at it againJuxtapoz // Thursday, March 08, 2012

TILT did the Panic Room inside the Au Vieux Panier hotel in Marseille, France, where 5 artists transformed 5 different rooms in their own signature style.
Les Chiens Isolés by CRCRJuxtapoz // Thursday, January 12, 2012
We try and catch a few animations during the week to keep up with who is making great work, and we just saw this short by ellusive French duo CRCR called, Les Chiens Isolés (Lonely Dogs). It is beautifully rendered, well-paced, well-sounddtracked, following two friends as they work on an isolated oil rig.

Escif: Vive la Resistance!Juxtapoz // Tuesday, November 08, 2011
One of our favorite artists of the year, and the cover of our February 2011 issue, Escif, just finished a project in Niort, France that led him to a mysterious spot shrouded in World War II history. The spot has one remaining bunker from WWII, where the Nazis and the Allied Forces fought one of the last battles of Nazi resistance to the advancing army. And Escif added some new color to the location.

The Results Are In: Recast "Full House"
Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!
Wow, I had no idea the recast challenge for "Full House" would be so much fun! The lists that came in this week were really creative and interesting. Among many others, one of my favorite picks was fieryelectra's idea of Seth Rogen as Joey, and I thought schultzie11's pick of John Mayer as Jesse was odd but funny. I also thought txhottie's idea of Neil Flynn (Janitor on "Scrubs") as Danny was unique, while juliesf's pick of another "Scrubs" star, Sarah Chalke, for the part of Rebecca would be a lot of fun.
As for overall lists, however, my favorite this week comes from alynn! To see who alynn picked along with a new cast photo,
alynn's cast:
Danny — Stephen Colbert
Jesse — Paul Rudd
Joey — Rainn Wilson
DJ — Hayden Panettiere
Stephanie — Miley Cyrus
Michelle — Pearl (the now "retired" little girl from Will Ferrell's viral videos "The Landlord" and "Good Cop, Baby Cop")
Rebecca — Charisma Carpenter

Pelosi said the U.S. has seen "increasing threats" to public and private information technology infrastructure, and that the new act would strengthen protections.
"It will help minimize the risks to our IT infrastructure and decrease the potential for breaches that place our government, private enterprise and economy in peril," she said in a statement.
Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair this week said hacker attacks on Google in China were a "wake-up call" for those who had not taken the issue of cybersecurity seriously.
The House bill also sets up grants from the National Science Foundation in the research areas of social and behavioral factors, including human-computer interactions and identity management. It calls on the foundation's director to start a program awarding fellowships that encourage young scientists and engineers to conduct postdoctoral research in cybersecurity.

Honduran agroforestry withstands harsh climate
Farmers in Honduras who practice Quesungual agroforestry have been able to withstand Central America's periods of extreme drought and intense rain.
As Neil Palmer from the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) explains in an article on Reuters Alert Net, Quesungual has the potential to "help smallholders adapt to the kinds of extreme weather expected to become more frequent as a result of climate change".
In a Quesungual system, various tree species are integrated into croplands at a density of up to 1,000 per hectare. The trees help to stabilise hillsides, minimise soil erosion and improve nutrient recycling from deeper soil layers.
The trees are pruned, with cuttings laid around crops to provide mulch which helps retain soil moisture during dry periods and encourages earthworms that break down the organic matter, move nutrients around, aerate the soil, and improve soil structure. The farmers use fertilisers in place of the ash that would have provided nutrients through slash-and-burn techniques. Fields are not ploughed or tilled which further helps to preserve soil structure.
The article goes on to quote soil scientist, Steven Fonte, from CIAT on the science behind Quesungual and explain how the technique could be applied to other parts of Latin America and the Caribbean, sub-Saharan Africa and Asia.

Star Command is a spaceship battle simulator highlighted by pixelated graphics, riveting war scenarios against a grand inter-galactic background, as well as multiple well-crafted tasks. But it is flawed by an inadequate tutorial and a bit slow progression.
There are strange signals out there in the cosmos. Could they mean the existence of other intelligent lives? Or are they just bait from hostile species? As a spaceship commander, you are to take on multitudinous missions from commander of the Star Command Fleet, comb one planet after another, and brave whatever discovery (or rather nightmare) ahead to bring things into daylight. Hordes of bloodthirsty zombies, anti-human Antorians (alien robots), and extraterrestrial venomous birds etc all threaten your lonely existence in the vast cosmos, and to your panic you find there is nothing but your crew, ship and wisdom to fall upon. This one-way journey truly leaves your back against the wall and this is a place that some would call hopeless.
You will not think the word "hopeless" as an exaggeration once you see what havoc the alien monsters are doing there and how weak races groan and huddle together under the iron rule of merciless dominating ones. Rivaling forces like zombies, Antorians, desperate green-skinned Midorians and more never cease-fire against each other and are almost unanimously ill-intended toward human beings. During your unwelcome journey, crew members may die, ship may be grievously damaged and sometimes you yourself may be the only survivor having luckily escaped from the ruthless grasp of invading aliens.
Bleak as the prospect seems, there is still a beam of light at the end of the tunnel. With sound plans, some vision and good reflexes, you have a chance to survive and restore order to this deceptively tranquil universe. What lies in your hands at the outset is nothing more than an empty spaceship and some tokens, in-game currencies that enable you to build and upgrade all kinds of rooms like Bridge, Dodge Generator, Healing Room and Plasmr Torpedo, and recruit crews that can be trusted with different responsibilities later on to make them tacticians, engineers, and scientists. With the first few functional rooms ready and crew in place, you are to take on a series of missions from the commander of the star command fleet. Following these missions, you ship will travel far and wide in the space, orbiting planets like Mercury, Venus, Moon, and Mars etc. Successfully accomplished missions will reward you with more tokens. Don't worry about the shortage of missions, because the cosmos is filled with problems and the fleet commander never loses his confidence in you, unlocking one planet after another for you.
Different planets set different rules to play and offer multiple possible scenarios, which is really a beauty of Star Command. For instance, when you are face to face with arrogant Antorians for the first time on Mercury, you can actually choose between negotiation and direct fire exchange as well as multiple dialogue choices, which gives you a sense that you are really a spaceship commander who has a hefty say in the fate of universe rather than an impotent puppet forced to battles. Even if you fail to reach a consensus at the negotiation with the aliens, you can be assured you are going to have a unique battle. If on Mercury you must tap on spinning dots that overlap three circles on a certain map to fire at enemy battleship, you have to assign more red-shirted tacticians and allocate them to appropriate positions to shoot zombies that has teleported to your ship on Mars. While some planets test your fighting mettle, others require you to be patient and hold as long as possible until the Star Command Fleet commander persuades alien races in question out of fire. Naturally, these innovative varieties will not fail to whet your curiosity to see what things are going to be like on the next planet.
However, variety of scenarios does not mean constant change of gameplay basics. As long as you bear in mind the function of each room and member, you are able to cope with almost all situations. Laser Cannon and Plasma Torpedo are main offensive facilities on your ship and enjoy increased recharge rate, token production rate and more once upgraded. Dodge Generator is a powerful facility to avoid incoming attacks. Battleship vs battleships will need skillful use of these facilities. But in case of man-to-alien fights, tactful use of crew is more important than anything. Crew members in red fire on any creatures boarding your ship, yellow ones can repair damaged rooms while blue one can heal injured members nearby.
Most of the time, deployment and strategy are only a matter of a few taps. But insufficient tutorial kind of forces you to learn them through series of trial and error. I died several times before fathoming what the spinning dots mentioned above were meant for and how dodge can be applied and suffered heavy losses when scrambling to reassign crew members. Painful lessons gradually shed lights on the controls of this game. Tap on a crew member, and you see an icon of reassignment, showed by a two concentric circles with one cross inside. For red-shirted ones, there is also a skill icon, tapping on which can upgrade their skills, but it takes time to recharge. During ranged fights between ships, useful icons of Dodge, Fire and more will be shown on the bottom, but they take time to recharge, making you realize how seconds count in these inter-galactic wars.

Despite a little hard-to-master controls, Star Command is a really entertaining spaceship simulator that offer rooms unique to aerospace industries to build, upgrade and repair, interesting crew members to hire, and most important of all a plethora of stars to explore with hundreds of aliens to conquer, annihilate and pacify.

There are many things you must do to put your campaign to bed, win or lose. However, before taking down your lawn signs, bundling your stakes, paying your bills, finishing reports for the state, closing out bank accounts, and reassembling your house, you must first face election night.
On election night, if you are not in a well-known location with other candidates and their volunteer teams, you should let the press know where they can find you. I have held campaign parties in restaurants and at my home. I prefer my home. In the last days of the campaign, I let my volunteers know that I will be home and throwing a party in honor of them and a great campaign. I live in a small town, so people call and stop by all night. It is difficult to stay home and watch returns alone if you have been involved in a campaign, especially a winning one. Most people drop by to share the excitement, even if it is just for a few minutes. My home is open.
If your campaign covered an area larger than one city, you might need to go to a more central and public location. Again, tell all your volunteers where you will be and invite them. I try to spend election day or even the weekend before the election calling and personally thanking my volunteers. This is also a good time to remind them to join me on election night. Don't wait to thank them until after the election. If you lose, volunteers are anxious to talk and reflect and comfort, and you are anxious to sit alone on the floor of a dark closet with the door closed.
There is no preparing for a loss, and I'm not even sure people ever get over it. It will change your life, just as winning will. But win or lose, you must be prepared to face the media and do it with class.
In one election on which I worked, I sat with the candidate as the first big returns came in. The shock that went through us as we realized we were losing is indescribable. I remember cameras pointing at our faces. There is something predatory and morose about our society when it comes to watching a leader fall. We had expected a win and were not prepared for what was before us.

|Dissecting the Causes of Atopic Dermatitis in Children: Less Foods, More Mites.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22361514 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common, chronic or chronically relapsing, multifactorial skin disease that mainly occurs in children but affects also adults. AD usually begins early in life and often concerns people with a personal or family history of asthma and allergic rhinitis. AD is characterized by eczematous changes in the epidermis and originates from a late, T-cell mediated reaction associated to the formation and production of memory T-cell of TH2 type, occurrence of homing receptor at skin level and cutaneous lymphocyte-associated (CLA) antigens. Extrinsic or allergic AD, but not intrinsic AD, shows high total serum IgE levels and the presence of specific IgE for environmental and food allergens. A pivotal role in the pathogenesis of AD is played by filaggrin, a protein contained in the granular layer of the epidermis regulating the aggregation of keratin filaments. Mutation in the filaggrin gene causes decreased barrier function of the corny layers of the epidermis. This favours the enter through the skin of environmental allergens, especially the house dust mite, that further facilitates such entering by the proteolytic activity of its major allergen Der p 1. In fact, recent advances suggest that the dust mite, more than foods, is the major cause of allergic AD. As far as the causal diagnosis of AD is concerned, there is notable evidence supporting the capacity of the atopy patch test (APT) to reproduce the pathophysiologic events of AD. This makes APT a valuable diagnostic tool for AD.

Federal Real Property:
The Government Faces Challenges to Disposing of Unneeded Buildings
GAO-11-370T: Published: Feb 10, 2011. Publicly Released: Feb 10, 2011.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-5731
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The federal real property portfolio, comprising over 900,000 buildings and structures and worth hundreds of billions of dollars, presents management challenges. In January 2003, GAO designated the management of federal real property as a high-risk area in part due to the presence of unneeded property. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is responsible for reviewing agencies' progress on federal real property management. The General Services Administration (GSA), often referred to as the federal government's landlord, controls more square feet of buildings than any other civilian federal agency. GSA funds real property acquisition, operation, maintenance, and disposal through the rent it collects from tenant agencies that is deposited into the Federal Buildings Fund (FBF). This testimony discusses (1) the scope and costs of the excess real property held by GSA and other federal agencies; and (2) the challenges GSA and other federal agencies face in disposing of excess and underutilized real property. GAO analyzed GSA data from a centralized real property database, reviewed GSA real property plans and previous GAO reports, and interviewed GSA and OMB officials.
The federal government holds many excess and underutilized properties that cost billions of dollars annually to operate. Excess properties are buildings that agencies have identified as having no further program use, and underutilized properties serve a program purpose that could be satisfied with only a portion of the property. In fiscal year 2009, 24 federal agencies including the Department of Defense reported 45,190 underutilized buildings that cost $1.66 billion annually to operate. GSA specifically holds 282 excess or otherwise underutilized buildings that cost $93 million annually to operate. Underutilized buildings represent the first places to look for possible consolidations that could, in turn, allow GSA to dispose of additional properties. Excess and underutilized properties erode the viability of FBF by forcing GSA to pay for buildings for which it gets no return. The viability of FBF is essential to ensuring that GSA is able to respond to changing government real estate needs over the coming years and make sound investment decisions. A June 2010 Presidential Memorandum continued government efforts to dispose of unneeded properties by establishing a new governmentwide target of $3 billion savings through disposals and other methods by the end of fiscal year 2012. The problem of excess and underutilized property is exacerbated by a number of factors that impede the government's ability to efficiently dispose of unneeded property. First, numerous stakeholders, including local governments, private real estate interests, and advocacy groups, have an interest in how the federal government carries out its real property acquisition, management, and disposal practices. These competing interests, that often view government buildings as the physical face of the federal government in local communities, can build barriers to property disposal. In 2007, GAO recommended that OMB develop an action plan to address the effects of stakeholder interests but it has yet to be implemented. Second, the complex legal environment has a significant impact on real property decisionmaking and may not lead to economically rational outcomes. GSA's ability to effectively dispose of its unneeded property can also be hampered by its lengthy disposal process, which is legislatively mandated and includes requirements, such as determining whether the property can be used by other federal agencies, for homeless assistance, and for the public benefit. For example, GSA continues to hold numerous buildings that have been listed as excess for years. The lengthy disposal process may inhibit GSA's ability to achieve cost savings under the Presidential Memorandum by the 2012 deadline.

Okay ... how about this: Your little boy or girl are trapped in a high-rise apartment building that is on fire and about to collapse. There is no way to rescue them.
But there is a duplicating transporter available. It kills the subject relatively painlessly, but creates an exact copy that will remember everything you've taught her and she'll even call you "daddy".

If you did it without destroying the original, then you could have a conversation with your copy and know that if you died at that very moment you would no longer be conscious even though your copy is standing right next to you.

Superb . The Pilot , Josh, was highly competent and exuded confidence so as to allay any concerns amongst the Passengers some of whom had never flown before. The Grand Canyon is purely spectacular and my words cannot do it justice.
Loved that the route was different, way in, way out. The view in the Grand Canyon breathtaking. The pilot, Erica, was charming and skillful with her helicopter.
Amazing. Professional and very well organised. A must do trip
It was fantastic one of the best adventures we have been on. And our pilot was amazing. I highly recommend it.
We had amazing time, helicopter is the only way you want to see the canyon. Our pilot was very helpful and informative. Photos just don't do it justice
Very happy with trip and the arrangements. John the pilot was very good.
The flight over the Grand Canyon was fantastic. The only problem we had is the helicopter had air/con problem so we could not fly so we had to come back the next day. All good.
Most incredible experience!!!!
The journey and views from the helicopter are fantastic. It's a very smooth journey with a well informed pilot who provides useful and interesting information on the way. Landing in the Grand Canyon is quite an experience and the small picnic plus champagne very welcome. Sights of Vegas on the way back are brilliant.
United Kingdom
Great trip, amazing scenery, excellent information and commentary provided by the pilot.
Absolutely one of the most awesome experiences I've ever had. Can't say enough...a first rate tour that you shouldn't miss eg
Hen in Vegas.
This tour was amazing, flies out to the canyon from a location close to the strip NOT miles away at Boulder City like others so we were there in about 5mins. The helicopter, staff and pilot Jimmy were all superb. Fly via Hoover dam and the canyon itself was spectacular with music and narration
Fabulous..... pricey but worth every cent, Staff at the helicopter company are all professional and first rate. we did this to celebrate my wifes 50th birthday and I think I got a few major brownie points. Limo pick up and return to our hotel was on time....lunch a little soggy but not the end of the world
Incredible day! This is a must do in Vegas! Our pilot Zeus was a great guy, very information and brand new helicopters! VIP pick up and drop off from our hotel.

United Kingdom
Our first trip was cancelled when we were half way there due to bad weather so we had to rebook it for another day. The weather was perfect on our second try and the views were fantastic. We were glad that we paid the extra and booked the bigger EC130 helicopter because it gave everyone a bit more room than the other smaller helicopter. The landing spot in the grand canyon was amazing and we were able to get some great pictures. Our only criticism is that we were the last helicopter to land in our group and also the first to take off so we didn't get the half an hour that the tour says and we even had to rush our packed lunch!
Excellent opportunity to see the Grand Canyon while vacationing in Las Vegas. Our pilot Fred was great and we enjoyed the tour very much. Would recommend to friends.
Great experience. The pilot was a charming and informative guy. But the scenery was so enthralling that it eclipsed even his well informed commentary. Was at base camp 2014 and have to say the scenery flying to and over the Grand Canyon was up there with the vistas on offer in Nepal!
We had a fab pilot called Dave who was very informative and interesting. The trip was Well worth the cost.
Absolutely amazing Tour, Loved every minute of it. All staff were very polite. All ran very smoothly and on time.
Spectacular tour with a really friendly and experienced pilot. This is the only way to do this tour: seeing the Canyon from the air is amazing and the view coming over the hill is breathtaking! Thank you for the memories!
Well organised and efficient. Great views. Well worth the money.
Great trip and fantastic experience with our pilot Michael W Stone keeping us well informed
It was everything we hoped it would be plus more. Started off with a great limo pickup, driver was great. Young ladies at your counter were great. Our pilot was outstanding. The entire trip was a day we will never forget.
We did an early morning trip. It was magical. Our 33rd anniversary will be memorable.

206 Bones by Kathy Reichs
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Temperance wakes up and finds herself shut into a totally dark, cold, silent space - a tomb? As she tries to find a way out she remembers the events of the days leading up to her predicament.
She remembers studying bones and being called on mistakes she made - missing discoloration on a child's tooth which would indicate antibiotics and finger bones she was sure she saw but are now missing and are crucial to the identification of the body. Her prodigious talents help her solve the mystery and survive until help arrives to rescue her.
Reichs' style of writing has short sentences and terse language. The narrator made good use of a French accent when speaking for the Montreal natives of the story.
I am a Kathy Reichs fan vrs. a Pat Cornwell. Reichs stories have a more plausible plot and an easier read. I am grossed out by Cornwall every so often. This book was a fast satisfying read.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.As a fan of the television show Bones, I've always wanted to read one of the Bones books. However, it took nearly 40-50 pages of my reading (not comprehending, just looking at words and arguing with my brain) to realize that the book isn't the show. I kept wondering where Booth and Angela was. It also confused me about Katy and Tempe being a divorcee. Then, I remembered that the books weren't about Bones, the TV, but about Tempe taking a stab at a writing career. Unfortunately it had already ruined my thinking progress. Maybe I should have started reading from book one, instead of this one further into the character. Maybe then, it would have made more sense to me.
Similar plot line set up as the last 4 books, which is disheartening as one already sees the "evil doers" by the first third of the book.
A soft 3 stars. This latest Temperance Brennan novel has all the ingredients to make something good but somehow the ingredients don't gel together. The three plot lines : A (the bad guy at work), B (the grannies serial killer) and C (Temperance's relationship with Ryan) mix like water and oil not vinegar and oil.
Reichs still amaze me with her sense of the places her characters are in. I can totally buy and feel Temperance's visit to Chicago and know that it's accurate, get a feel of the place. Why? Because I live in the other place Temperance works and Reichs nails Montreal, the Laurentians, Oka. Tiny, little thing Laval University is not in Laval but Québec City but really I'm nitpicking.
So, good ingredients, bad mix because it's not a sign of a good Brennan novel when the reader less than half way through knows who the bad guys are and starts yelling at Tempy to get a clue.
Reichs isn't above a bit of melodrama, and her heroine is metaphorically tied to the tracks at one awkward juncture — until the forensic procedures take center stage, as they always do in this cleverly plotted and expertly maintained series.

Statewide E-filing Initiative
The key mission of the State Court Administrative Office is to help trial courts improve service to the public.
Statewide e-filing will help trial courts become more efficient and improve service to court users.
E-filing allows for the filing of court documents from anywhere in the state at any time of the day without having to drive to a court office or send large amounts of printed materials via a delivery service, thereby saving time, gas, parking fees, copy costs, and delivery charges. A statewide e-filing system will also accommodate electronic notice and service of process and provide other expanded benefits to improve the efficiency of court interactions by attorneys, parties, and the public. Additional savings are generated when e-filing is linked to electronic document management systems in the trial courts so that judges and staff can easily access important files at any time and from any place.
This is the next step in technological advancement for our courts and may someday result in an entirely paperless court system –serving Michigan residents faster and better
SCAO Issues RFI for a Statewide eFiling System
The State Court Administrative Office (SCAO) has issued a "request for information" (RFI) regarding the amount of funding required to design, test, train, stage and deploy a statewide eFiling system. The goal of this RFI is to obtain sufficient information for SCAO to prepare a budget and implementation plan for three components of a statewide eFiling project: (1) an electronic filing service provider (EFSP) solution for pro se filers and filers from other governmental entities (e.g., Prosecutors, Attorney General, Department of Human Services); (2) an electronic filing manager (EFM) solution that will accommodate all EFSPs; and (3) an electronic document management system (EDMS) that will integrate with the EFM, and can be used by those counties that do not already have an EDMS. The
RFI is available here

So you've fallen in love with the wedding industry and have dreamed of running your own wedding planning business but how do you get started? What steps do you need to take to get your business off the ground? This is where I come in. Below are 5 steps to take to get you started in the wedding planning industry.
Take a Wedding Planning Course
Whilst taking a wedding planning course isn't a 'must do', it's definitely something to consider. There are many wedding planning courses available however do your research to ensure you take one that's right for you and your business. Things to consider are what you want to learn – is it wedding planning, wedding styling, both? Would you prefer distance learning or classroom based training?
If you prefer distance based learning then I would definitely recommend looking at the UK Academy of Wedding & Event Planning (UKAWP) who run certificates and diplomas in wedding planning, event planning, event design and styling. Think you would prefer classroom based learning then take a look at the UK Alliance of Wedding Planners (UKAWP) who run both Business Practicalities and Step by Step workshops that are held over two days.
Intern for a local Wedding Planner
Whilst a wedding planning course can teach you the fundamentals of running a wedding planning business, nothing truly beats hands on experience. One of the best things to do is to research wedding planners local to you for internship opportunities. Check out their websites and social media profiles for any positions that may be advertised.
Something to keep in mind is that wedding planners receive so many emails from people like yourselves who want to gain experience in the industry therefore you will need to stand out so do your research. Take time to read their website, blog and social media profiles. This should give you an idea of the type of clientele they are trying to attract. Be creative, instead of sending a standard covering letter with your CV think outside the box. Personalise the cover letter to the individual business, send an inspiration board of your ideal wedding to show off your design skills, include a link to your Pinterest account.
Lastly and most importantly address the wedding planner by name. We are in a personal service industry therefore it's pretty much guaranteed that their name will be on their website. I'll be honest and say that any emails I receive of this nature that are addressed Dear Sir/Madam go straight in my deleted items folder.
Work for a Large Event Company or Wedding Venue
Working for a large event planning company or wedding venue will provide real insight on how events are run which you will be able to utilise when starting your wedding planning business. Perhaps you already have events experience in a corporate role, if so, this provides a great foundation to get started.
Volunteer to help family and friends with events
Not everyone is going to be able to intern for a local wedding planner or work for a large corporate company or wedding venue therefore you may need to be creative in how you gain experience. Spread the word to friends and family and offer to help organise birthday parties, hen parties and baby showers. You can even offer to help organise your work's Christmas party.
Your Own Wedding
Whilst planning your own wedding is completely different to planning someone else's, it will certainly put you in good stead in understanding the wedding planning process and dealing with suppliers. Not everyone likes to do this but it's also a great wedding to include in your portfolio.
Lastly one bonus step – research, research, research
I'll do a separate post on this soon but the internet will become your best friend. I'd recommend spending time researching all aspects of setting up and running a business and the wedding industry as a whole.
I hope you've found the second post in this series useful. I'd love to hear from you so do pop a comment below or send me an email.

1999 Mercury Mountaineer • 160,000 miles
After pulling the instrument cluster to change some burned bulbs, my speedometer gauge needle is laying at a pegged out position. All other gauges and lights work. The speedometer appears to be electronically controlled. Did I miss connecting something when I reassembled it?

If no cable for speedo it will be electric, proberbly you need to ensure all plugs are clipped in securely into the cluster.

I found that by carefully reaching into the cluster face with a long skinny tool, I was able to physically move the speedometer dial over to zero. It worked fine when I reinstalled it. I must have forced the dial over to the pegged out position when I was changing cluster bulbs.

I maintain a finger print clearance card. I am also CPR and First Aid certified. I'm bilingual in both English and Spanish. I am a very hands-on kind of mom/nanny. I enjoy taking the child out into the community visiting the children's museum, the zoo, the nearest library, and taking the kids to the park. We do story time and make easy and simple arts and crafts. I like to have the children engage in helping me in the kitchen, too like preparing small and simple meals, helping me bake a cake or make cookies. Any kind of activities that are fun and can also be a learning experience. I have no objection to go swimming with them. To sing and dance and just make sure that the child I care for is always safe, in a clean environment, learning something and having fun. I am very loving but firm all at the same time. I think it's important to have a balance between the two. I am looking for something long-term. And hope to be more than just an employee but to also be considered as one of the family. I am eager to work and hoping to find the right fit.
Best Regards,

I don't use body lotions that much since I have body acne and most clog my pores. Decided to use this after hearing it's good for acne scars. It's been a few weeks and I saw a noticeable improvement on how my skin feels and looks, although the formula is a bit sticky. Overall, it's a great product..

I love this body lotion, it's intensively nourishing and hydrates dry skin really well, making it silky smooth for a long time. Also, because of the AHA, my skin would always have a natural glow the next day. It is very emollient and I don't know how much I would like it during the hotter months but it's a skin saver during winter and cold weather.
I love this lotion!
