By Jennifer Loven, AP White House Correspondent
WASHINGTON Nearly 8,000 jobs waiting to be filled. Empty file drawers. Missing computer hard drives. Even furniture piled in the hallways.
Talk about a startup.
The most powerful office in the world has less than three months to come into being, essentially from scratch.
"It is a very weird thing to walk into," said White House chief of staff Josh Bolten, who helped President Bush build a new government eight years ago. "There are no papers, no books. You have computer equipment but there's nothing on there. You've got a telephone but you just sort of barely know what everybody else's phone number is."
Bush's White House started working nearly a year before Election Day to get the government in shape to be handed off. Aides to President-elect Obama also began planning before the voting, just in case their candidate won. But everything accelerates into overdrive now that the 77-day presidential transition clock has started ticking.
Everything on the daunting transition to-do list will certainly not be checked off by Jan. 20, when President-elect Obama walks through the door of the White House as President Obama. But much must be done, especially naming staff and officials.
Put aside that it's the first wartime presidential transition in 40 years and that the country is gripped by fierce economic troubles. Consider that only days after taking over the Oval office, Obama must present to Congress his first budget request for the entire government
After 232 years, America can be quite quaint about the transfer of power from one administration to the next. Even when a different party is taking over, there are tried-and-true rituals to be indulged.
There's the White House meeting between the outgoing and incoming commander in chief, usually accompanied by a parallel confab between their spouses. This time it's taking place much sooner than is typical, on Monday, less than a week after Election Day.
What White House spokesman Tony Fratto called "a very special meeting in our democracy" brings the new guy to the White House in a way he never has visited before. Obama will be treated to a tour of his new home and office with the eyes of someone about to move in, and with the man holding the secrets known by only the small club of presidents as his guide.
In other words, Obama will get to hear and see the good stuff: maybe the weapons cache hidden in the West Wing or classified communications capabilities or the instructions for summoning a cup of coffee. The president-elect gets to, in that hackneyed cliche of campaigns, actually measure the drapes.
Incidentally, one design item that might draw particular interest is the rug in the Oval Office.
Each new occupant gets to custom-design a new one. Bush frequently cites that duty as a) his first presidential decision and b) one that revealed something he believes central to his personal character and approach to leadership. As he likes to tell it, Bush delegated the rug-picking to his wife with orders to have it reflect optimism, so the cream-colored concoction that covers his floor resembles a sunburst.
Another transfer-of-power tradition is the remarkable chain of events prescribed for Inauguration Day. It could be called Moving Day on steroids.
The night before, the Bush White House staff will leave their offices for the last time, turning in badges and keys. They will be unable to get back into the White House unless for a crisis.
The next day, as soon as Bush leaves the White House to go to the Capitol to watch Obama take the oath, and while Obama rides in the parade down Pennsylvania Avenue and sits in the reviewing stands outside his new residence, an army of workers will box up and cart off the Bush-related contents of the building, personal and professional. Obama's, likewise, are brought in.
And, said Bolten, "a whole new set of people will sort of wander in." He spoke during an interview on C-SPAN by reporters from The Associated Press and The Washington Post that was taped Friday for broadcast Sunday.
As mandated by federal law, the institutional memory of the place is wiped almost entirely clean. The Presidential Records Act of 1978 requires that all documents leave the White House with the outgoing president, except some in the National Security Council and the counsel's office.
That's not to say there aren't cheat sheets -- lots of them -- to help the new team.
Bookshelves in the office of White House deputy chief of staff Blake Gottesman are now covered with thick three-inch binders. Four of them, the thickest, spell out in detail the most daunting task of any incoming White House -- choosing 7,840 presidential appointees, and shepherding the 1,177 of those that need Senate confirmation through the Capitol Hill process.
Some estimate that 40,000 people will flood the new White House with resumes for those jobs in the first few weeks, and 75,000 in the first few months. A hint of how huge the task is: No administration has had confirmed more than about 25 Cabinet and sub-Cabinet personnel by April 1 or more than about 240 by its eighth month.
An additional dozen or so binders fill a separate long cabinet in Gottesman's office, coming from each part of the Executive Office of the President, such as the press shop and the congressional liaison group.
In addition, the NSC has prepared extensive briefing materials on every global hot spot imaginable, complete with contingency options for several possible emergency scenarios, said a senior administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to more freely describe the preparations. Bolten also said that members of Obama's staff will be invited to attend at least one "tabletop exercise" at the White House, a regular simulation of an emergency such as a terrorist attack or disease outbreak.
Obama's team started receiving information about key issues even before Election Day. Those briefings -- and efforts such as establishing side-by-side workspace for Treasury Department's $700 billion financial rescue program -- now are ramping up more each day.
Bolten said this earlier and more intense transition activity is crucial because of the dire times. The goal is something akin to a relay race, where "we are carrying the baton but the next runner will be running before we actually hand them that baton."
Bush aides are also under orders to leave the place tidy, and not repeat the acts of minor vandalism that slightly marred the transition from President Clinton to Bush.
"We will vacuum, we will clean our desks, we will take the gum out from under the conference tables," Bolten joked.

Dreama Walker is June in the new show "Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23" alongside Krysten Ritter and James Van Der Beek. We're stoked.
Apartment 23 "I play a young, naive, and motivated woman named June who moves to New York for the career of her dreams only to find out that the company has gone under and she lost her job, her apartment, and eventually her (unbeknownst to her) cheating fiancé.
During this process, she ends up shacking up with Chloe (Krysten Ritter), an adventurous, spontaneous, gal gone wild who is attempting to rid June of her old lady tendencies and behaviors. The show follows these completely opposite characters (James Van Der Beek) and their escapades trying to survive and thrive in New York City."
Krysten Ritter and James Van Der Beek "We are having a blast. The show has been all about fun. They both have wonderful senses of humor and are very talented actors."
Taking the Lead "This is a lot more work! But, I'm loving it! It feels fantastic to have a character that evolves ever so slightly in each episode."
Prior to This Show "I really enjoyed playing Becca on The Good Wife. I loved that the writers really gave her a complexity not found in most roles for teenage girls. She was conniving, intelligent and somehow still kind of relatable. I also love playing June - she is quirky, sensitive and good natured but she is self respecting and will not be trampled on. I relate to both characters some days!"
Love for Apartment 23 "I think my favorite thing is that we are part of the 'girls can be funny, too!' revolution that is happening now. More than ever, females are killing it in comedy. And why shouldn't we?"
Not Being the B---- "My Dad is thrilled that I'm not the B----! [My parents] are very proud."
Mega Bitch vs. the Girl Next Door "I like to switch it up. For the majority of my career, I've played a brat. I think every woman kind of has all sides to her."
Celebrity Crush "Oh, geez. Who doesn't think Ryan Gosling is amazing?"
Dreama's Dream Role "There are so many! I would love to play a bad ass, but that's hilarious to anyone that knows me well because I can only take myself seriously for about three minutes."
The Quirks "I get a real kick out of dressing my dogs up in silly costumes. I know, I know, it seems very 'Elle Woods' but it always makes people smile. And the dogs only hate it for a few minutes!"

text: India is a land that houses various religions and festivals are celebrated in a grand manner. Nursery students of Orchids the International School-Nagarbhavi, an excellent school around the Chandra layout, had an opportunity to participate in 'Festival celebrations' along with their parents. It was a unique event where little ones and parents dressed to represent various festivals. The little ones enjoyed explaining about the festivals and some of them even sang hymns and prayers. Later, parents and children walked the ramp together. It was a wonderful opportunity for parent-child bonding and children understood about the various festivals celebrated in India.

The Mess Hall is the most visited place on GAJ. It is the place where people come to just chill and chat about whatever they want to talk about. They are pretty much given free reign here, with the exception of the few rules in place.
Topics in the Mess Hall
The Mess Hall started off with many topics that came and went, but the first topic that stuck around and was the first series of topics to recurr was the Mansion topics. It was about a mansion where people did stuff, and and randomness could take place.
Announcements used to be posted in there too, which were auto sticked. This was before a seperate Announcements board was made.
A Game Reviews topic was begun, and many many people posted various random reviews on widely varied games from all genres; ranging from the simple 7/10 to the well thought out review masterpieces.
Soon, once an old user called MasterJedi made a topic which showed a site with free useable smileys, stories utilising these in them appeared. The first of these were Ghost's Smile Wars, a Star Wars inspired story using smileys as illustration.
The next majorly read story was made by a user Matt44au, called James Smile. It was definitely the most successful of those stories; it spawned 2 novella sized sequels, but with no smileys.
When GAJ2 started, Decoy made an early topic calling for all newbies to the boards to introduce themselves. This has survived to this day, and is stickied.
The game review topic also came back around this time, with a less successful movie rating topic alongside it. Both were subsequently stickied.
One day, the Mess Hall topics and posts reached the milestone of 3 times larger than all of the other Jack boards combined. This aggrevated the admins and which spurred a campaign to get people to actually care about GAJ's mission: To stop Jack Thompson and raise awareness of the true nature of games. Bloodlust555666 tried to revitalise some interest by gathering all the info she could find on the subject and practically spamming the crap out of Jack Attack with it. The affects of this were felt for about a week, but the lure of the Mess Hall was still too great. A new rule was then instigated: 1 post in the Jack forums for every 10 Mess Hall posts. This worked for a good while, but the magnetic temptation of the Mess Hall came to light again a couple of months.
Fights began to break out in the Mess Hall. People were posting way too much and outside issues were brought to a head. Things were falling apart. The admins soon put their foot down. They gave the whole of GAJ a choice: Stop the fights, or destroy the Mess Hall.
The fights were soon curbed, and to keep things in check, the admins held mod applications. Eventually 2 mods were chosen: Miss Shiina and Ferrari Jones.
Not terribly long after his appointment, Ferrari's fanboy-ism got the better of him and he started a flame war with other users over Halo vs Half-Life. AdmiralFutch got angry, and de-modded Ferrari, who subsequently left GAJ, leaving Miss Shiina as the sole moderator of the Mess Hall. She was then promoted to Admin after Dead Decoy left.
Rules of the Mess Hall
The following rules were created by Miss Shiina and Ferrari Jones shortly after they became moderators. These rules were last updated on March 19, 2006.
The Rules
1. Please keep all randomness within reason. Excessive 1337, out-of-control randomness and spam will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. You may have topics specifically for randomness and goofing around, but please keep it within reason, with spamming and 1337 to a minimum, as well as the number of "random-specific" topics.
Also, please keep these topics PG-13.
2. Flaming and trolling are not tolerated. We understand that people joke, and that is perfectly fine, however, outright blasting someone for no reason is not, and such posts will be deleted.
Please keep personal disagreements to PMs, as they are not allowed in the Mess Hall.
3. Swearing is permitted, but please keep it to a minimum. Excessive swearing will be dealt with by either editing your post to remove the words, censor them (with embarassing things like "Fruitloops") or they will simply be deleted.
4. Please don't post links to pornography or anything that is similarly inappropriate or offensive, such as the Unholy Trinity or the Pains. (If you don't know what those are, then it's better that you don't.)
5. To avoid clutter, please don't quote more than 3 posts at once. We don't mind if you post them one at a time with little blurbs of text in between... but those HUGE solid blocks of quotes are really quite the eyesore, and will be edited to conform to this rule.
Exceptions will be made if ALL quotes are relevant. Otherwise, the least relevant quotes will be removed.
6. Please respect the admins/mods. If we ask you to do something, then please comply. We are at this status for a reason.

CHA Member, DRG announced the launch of its new GoodOldDaysStories.com website. A nostalgic website created from first-hand accounts of its readers dating back to the 1920's. While it isn't filled with technological bells and whistles, the site captures stories that unless recorded will be lost forever. It reminded me of my grandparents journals with an intimate look into the detailed lives of the writers. See the press release below.
New website offers stories from Good Old Days
DRG, publisher of Good Old Days magazine, has launched a nostalgia website with first-hand stories from its readers.
GoodOldDaysStories.com includes accounts from the 1920s through the 1950s and beyond. The site provides access to stories in both audio and written format, as well as sheet music from "the good old days" and a newsletter from the creators of Good Old Days.
The content at the Good Old Days Stories site is available at no charge — offered by the publishers of Good Old Days magazine.
The magazine was DRG's first nostalgia product and is now in its fifth decade of publication. With a circulation of more than 250,000, it is DRG's top-selling magazine, joined by a variety of print and online material, including a sister magazine, Looking Back, and several books.
Readers can learn more about Good Old Days publications and can sign up for the Good Old Days e-newsletter at the magazine website at GoodOldDaysMagazine.com, or they can access free nostalgic stories from the new Good Old Days Stories website.

Boardroom Series: What Now for Insurance Technology Investment?
Celent, a Boston-Based financial research and consulting firm, has launched a new client resource called the Boardroom Series. These monthly briefs explore the current challenges faced by insurance companies, helping C-level executives prepare for the next "hard question" their boards of directors are likely to ask. Each brief focuses on a single question, provides Celent's view of the issues behind the question, and defines specific action steps that will position a carrier to deliver an effective response.
The newest installment of this series is What Now for Insurance Technology Investment? Many boards are considering requests for major technology initiatives. While there is nothing new about this—it happens in larger insurers nearly every year—making any major investment decision is much harder now because of the uncertainty surrounding the outlook of the economy, financial markets, and the insurance industry itself.
"An insurer's specific combination of an economic/industry point of view and a strategic stance provides the context for making major technology investment decisions," says Donald Light, senior analyst with Celent's Insurance Group and author of the report.
Celent is a research and advisory firm dedicated to helping financial institutions formulate comprehensive business and technology strategies. Celent publishes reports identifying trends and best practices in financial services technology and conducts consulting engagements for financial institutions looking to use technology to enhance existing business processes or launch new business strategies. With a team of internationally based analysts, Celent is uniquely positioned to offer strategic advice and market insights on a global basis. Celent is a member of the Oliver Wyman Group, which is a wholly-owned operating unit of Marsh & McLennan Companies [NYSE: MMC].

You're doing fine.

Alas, regarding the bug itself, I'm not familiar enough with 'virsh list' on a xen:// connection to know how to suggest debugging things; perhaps someone else can chime in.

Just how safe are our personal details and files? A rape victim tells the Five Live Report of how her attacker - a convicted child rapist - hired a private detective to track her down. The private eye illegally obtained the victim's bank details, telephone and medical records after her evidence led to the rapist's conviction and a nine-year sentence.
Reporter Matthew Chapman examines dozens of cases where so called 'blaggers' put individuals at risk by illegally obtaining personal information for a living; and asks why are they receiving such small fines in the courts despite making, in some cases, over a million pounds a year.

The shady world of blagging
Radio 5 had a good programme this morning on the shady world of "blagging" of personal information by private detectives. It was astonishing to hear a representative of an association of investigators say that this illegal activity is a mainstay of his members' activities. Information Commissioner Richard Thomas and I also took part in the debate, which you can listen to again this week:

Definitely a good idea. I can imagine a video where you start the upgrade process, have a sip of coffee, look back at the monitor and the ugprade is done. Anyone it'd be great to have a video about news in Fedora 25. GNOME has been doing them for some time and they're pretty popular: https://www.y outube.com/watch?v=LhY7rpWXm1Y (they usually get up to 135k views on Youtube, that's a great number). Such videos can also be used at Fedora booths played in loops. Someone did this for F22: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgfnHck_lbI and it got 55k views even though it was not an official video. Generally I think we should expand more into video. I know it's usually more consuming than static graphics, but it gets attention. And sometimes it's not even that difficult. For example, we did a video that showed what people can find at the Fedora booth at LinuxDays. I just grabbed a phone and the video was done and uploaded within 10 minutes and it was played by hundreds of ppl. Jiri P.S. my upgrade to F25 took 15 minutes in total, pretty awesome :)

Since the death of the painter Margaret Olley, on July 26, there's been speculation about what will happen to her home and studio in Paddington in Sydney. Should it be preserved intact and open to the public? Should it be reconstructed somewhere else, possibly in an art gallery? Could it become an artist's residence, for short-term stays?
This [series episode segment] has
One of our best loved landscape painters, Fred Williams, is the subject of a big retrospective at the National Gallery of Australia right now. The exhibtion's called Infinite Horizions and it includes more than a hundred paintings, from landscapes around the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria near where Fred Williams lived, to views of the Murray River, to Weipa in North Queensland and the Pilbara in Western Australia. Fred Williams died in 1982, aged only 55. According to the director of the National Gallery of Australia, Ron Radford, he 'was Australia's greatest and most innovative landscape artist of the 20th century. His paintings defined a new way of viewing and understanding the Australian landscape.'
The fantastic 3D film that's out at the moment called Pina is Wim Wenders' tribute to the German choreographer Pina Bausch, the person who really invented 'dance-theatre'. She died in 2009, but this kind of dance-theatre has continued in the work of companies like DV8 in the UK, who've just been performing in Sydney, and also the Belgian company Les Ballets C de la B.
In Muses and Mentors, the classic tale: when the star falls ill and the understudy takes over, getting their big chance. In this case it was a young hopeful theatre director in Perth, Matt Lutton, who wanted to get some work experience in the eastern states and got so much more than he'd bargained for when he arrived in Melbourne. And we can report that Michael Kantor recovered from his illness and continues to direct plays.

Can you say #BodyGoals?
Serena Williams can. As if the tennis legend hasn't set forth enough goals on the court, she made sure to serve up a healthy dose of major #BodyGoals Thursday by posting a behind-the-scenes photo of herself, seemingly getting ready for a photo shoot of some sorts.
The eye-popping, peach emoji-worthy image was enough to drive social media into a frenzy with some of her 4.6 million IG followers leaving comments such as "Behind the scenes indeed," "perfection" and the not-so-subtle, "look at that booty!"
On Twitter, it was much of the same awestruck reactions for Serena's undeniable #BodyGoals
Perhaps this Twitter user said it best.

Bolarus and You was the most prominent news journal on the Federation Member State of Bolarus.
In the late 2370s and early 2380s, its Palais de la Concorde correspondent was a Bolian male named Sovan; Sovan was a strong personality who often appeared as a pundit on news programs and who often came into conflict with Palais press liaison Kant Jorel. He was also a close friend of Seeker correspondent Ozla Graniv.
Bolarus and You had covered much of the life of former Federation President Min Zife from his time as a planetary district representative and onwards through his political career. (ST novels: A Time for War, A Time for Peace, Articles of the Federation)

Sakala Community Garden30 April, 2015 Haiti, Adventure Tourism, Community, Economic Growth
This densely populated neighborhood suffers from decades of exploitation, government neglect, and social stigmatisation, and Cité Soleil's youth bear the brunt of this marginalization. The founders of the staff of Sakala have counciously placed themselves there, working to transform children's lives.
Sakala is a community center and organization that fosters and provides sports, education, urban gardening, community service, and peace building workshops for youth. Some 250 young people from all four blocks of Cité Soleil are enrolled in Sakala's programs, and the community center's playground, sports facilities, classrooms, library, computer lab, and urban garden also serve the community at large.
On a recent trip to Haiti by CBF Pilot Nick Greece, KEEN sent 35 pairs of shoes for the afterschool soccer program based in Sakala. The video shot features Daniel Tillias, the director of Sakala, and the kids from Sakala who can now play with a lot more ease on the hot, paved, soccer pitch.

World Education Services
As the top destinations for immigrants around the world, your decision to immigrate to Canada or the United States is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. After you have moved here, finding work in your field will be a high priority for you. Like anyone entering the workforce in North America, it may be difficult at first.
According to Statistics Canada, fewer than 25 percent of newcomers who have qualifications in a regulated profession are able to find work in their field in Canada. Almost two million newcomers to the United States are unemployed or underemployed in low pay-paying positions that do not use their professional skills and knowledge. Do not let this information hold you back. There are surprising ways for you to use your past education and experience in new fields and exciting careers.
Finding work in an alternative or related career can help lower your financial stress by providing income and giving you more time to find your preferred work. In addition, it also helps you:
- Grow your professional network in Canada or the United States
- Gain Canadian or American work experience
Alternative and Related Careers
Alternative careers are careers outside your original field. However, you can still use the skills and knowledge you gained during your education and training in your new, alternative career. Alternative careers are great for internationally trained professionals who do not want to go through relicensing in Canada or the United States, and are interested in exploring a different career path.
- Work in a field that supports your skills, interests, and talents;
- Explore new career options that might not have been around when you first started your career; and
- Explore occupations that have higher salaries, or a better work/life balance.
- Increase your professional network and make connections in the field in which you want to relicense;
- Gain Canadian or American work experience toward relicensing requirements; and
- Continue building your knowledge and skills base.
Immigrating to a new country and looking for work can be a difficult process. Even among skilled immigrants who have experienced a high degree of career success before arriving in Canada and the United States, they will find that their career often stalls after landing here. Many immigrants face a sense of identity loss due to this and the other changes happening around them.
The best advice that successful people give is that people entering the workforce should be flexible and strategic about their options and next steps. Settling in a new country, and pursuing an alternative or related career can be a positive and exciting experience. With the right mindset, the possibilities are endless.

Not so long ago, games shop shelves were filled with brain training software, or as we like to call them, 'games that prove you're thick'. We must be real gluttons for abuse because we couldn't stop playing them, even when a virtual bald-headed boffin in a lab coat mocked our pathetic attempts at algebra for the thousandth time. If you love a bit of mental torture, or you simply want to flex those cerebral muscles, then you'll be overjoyed to hear that 'Mensa Academy' for the iPad/iPhone provides the same brain-bashing experience, with not quite as much mockery.
Mensa Academy is split into three main sections, with the first providing access to five sets of mini-tests (logic, numeracy, logic, memory, visual). Each set has twenty tests, which grow progressively harder – at first they're gentle and sweet, and by the end you'll feel like a cricket bat has worked wonders on the back of your skull. Each test contains a variety of challenges: for instance, the logic section throws all manner of puzzles at you, from guessing the missing item in a sequence to figuring out what colour you get from combining others.
The second section is direct access to each individual brainteaser, to train you up if you feel you need practice. You're awarded a bronze, silver and gold medal for progressing through each challenge, but you'll need to get a perfect score to win each medal, so the pressure is on.
Our favourite section is the final test, which combines all of the brainteasers into a single exam-style paper. You need to answer 30 questions in 15 minutes, which proves more challenging than it sounds with the pressure of the clock constantly counting down. At the end you're given your IQ, which will probably depress you enough to practice harder and take the test again, to see if you can out-smart yourself.
With its cartoony graphics and funky soundtrack (which remixes classic tunes such as Jungle Boogie in a manner that should just about avoid nasty lawsuits), Mensa Academy has plenty of appeal for kids as well as adults. The great learning curve and excellent range of modes make it easy to pick up and surprisingly addictive.

A Note From Lindsey
Thank you for taking time to visit our website during your wedding planning, I know you have a lot on your "to do" list! I started Lovely Day Events to serve the savvy, planning minded couple that wants to enjoy the big day while someone else worries about the details and schedule. Lovely Day Events prides itself on giving each client 110% effort and service while getting to know you (you will never be a number in a busy summer). Finally, it is import that the bride, groom, families, your vendors and our staff all have fun (let's be honest, weddings are a super fun celebration).
Truly though, I am a dreamer and a perfectionist, two things that I have learned are essential for being a small business owner and entrepreneur. I am always thinking of how we can better serve clients, how we can offer more services and what we will do next. Finally, it was my dream from the first day I arrived in Jackson Hole, as a river rafting guide, to split my time between my two loves: Jackson Hole and the Bay Area. I am very grateful to have found a career that I love and allows me to work in two of the most beautiful places on earth.
I look forward to working with you on any size wedding. Please feel welcome to contact me with any questions.
Happy planning,
Lindsey Nickel
Meet the Team
Lindsey Nickel
owner, wedding planner
Jackson Hole and Napa + Sonoma
Lindsey grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. She came to Jackson Hole as a river rafting guide during college and returned after graduating "just for one winter." Many years later (okay, it was 10 years), she left Jackson Hole for warmer weather and family back in California, with a plan to spend summers in Jackson Hole working on weddings and enjoying the mountains. She continues to spend time in Jackson Hole each summer and maintains strong relationships with Jackson Hole vendors. She started Lovely Day Events in Jackson Hole and later expanded to Napa + Sonoma. From a young age, she always dreamed of starting her own business, but always thought it would be the second part of her career, not the first. When she's not working she enjoys traveling, hiking and spending time with her husband and dog.
From Lindsey: I think becoming a wedding planner stems from always being very social. I am very engaged with my wedding clients and love hearing from them long after the wedding day and seeing photos of what's new in their lives on Instagram. The first party I ever planned was a surprise birthday party for my best friend in seventh grade. Between then and now, I organized the first Banff Mountain Film Festival at my college, weddings, fundraisers, galas and everything in between. Oh, and of course I have hosted countless barbecues, holidays and birthday parties at my house. What can I say? I just love celebrations.
Sandra Guido
wedding planner
super smiler
Jackson Hole
Sandra was born and raised in the Lima, Peru. She came to Jackson Hole after graduating from college in Lima. After a year and half internship in the hospitality industry at Spring Creek Ranch and Snake River Lodge and Spa, she decided to call Jackson home and began a 10 plus year career in event planning. She traded the big city life for the natural beauty of Jackson Hole. Over the years she plan everything from fundraisers to social galas to corporate meetings and retreats to destination weddings of every size.
From Sandra: I grew up in my parents' travel agency in Peru, helping to plan trips and creating new memories for our clients from all over the world. From an early age, I realized how much I enjoyed turning a client's vision to a reality. A well planned trip is much like a well planned wedding; both take months of detailed planning to create a once-in-a-lifetime memory. I've enjoyed building relationships with brides, grooms, and their families and becoming not just a wedding planner but also a friend. I can't wait to be a part of your special day!
Jayme Gunnell
wedding planner
creative touch
Jackson Hole
Jayme grew up in the big city of Chicago. She moved to Jackson Hole with her husband in 2016 for a new adventure after graduating from college in New York. Jayme also attended Illinois Wesleyan University for her undergraduate degree in Biology and Biochemistry.
Jayme has many years of experience in the wedding industry. She was a DJ and photo booth attendant for seven years in Chicago, currently works at xowyo paper + press in Jackson Hole making wedding invitations, assists with floral installations at Fleur de V in Jackson Hole, and is part owner and stationer for her mom's event staging business in Chicago.
From Jayme: Weddings have always been a part of my life, and once I started working in the wedding industry, I learned how all different aspects (music, photo, flowers, catering, etc.) have to work together to make the perfect day! I've been lucky enough to dip my hand in almost every part of a wedding, and now, with wedding planning, I can finally make the whole vision come together. I'm excited for another season of wedding bliss, and I look forward to working with all of the wonderful couples who decide to make Jackson Hole a part of their special day.

Fr. Lombardi, head of Vatican Radio and the Press Office, thus the papal spokesman, gave an address to a meeting in Spain, the communications commission for the Spanish bishops' conference.
It's long.
I will look at it soon.
Fr. Lombardi, head of Vatican Radio and the Press Office, thus the papal spokesman, gave an address to a meeting in Spain, the communications commission for the Spanish bishops' conference.
It's long.
I will look at it soon.
Well worth reading:
"'Communication for communion' has become for me in the course of time a persistent motto, which continually inspires all my work as communicator"
Fr. Lombardi's thought should give us all pause (think then post) about the quality of Catholic communications we are participant in, what message we send in the our dialogues and harangues. The world does pay attention, and our input, here, impacts and communicates to more than just the "regulars" of the our blogs.
"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

Joseph Ratzinger - The Feast of Faith"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians."

Public health nutritionists work to educate populations about proper diets. While some dietitians work in health care organizations and private practice, public health nutritionists are typically employed by government agencies or by non-governmental organizations that provide food relief to needy families. Public health nutritionists typically hold a bachelor's or master's degree related to dietetics.
Average Pay
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, dietitians and nutritionists earned an average of $56,170 per year as of 2012. However, this figure includes pay for clinical and organizational nutritionists as well as public health nutritionists. According to a 2009 survey conducted by the American Dietetic Association, public health nutritionists earned an average salary of $52,000 per year.
Pay by Type of Employment
According to the BLS, nutritionists employed by local government agencies earned an average of $50,440 per year in 2012. Nutritionists employed by state government agencies earned an average of $49,360 per year, and those working at the federal level reported an average annual salary of $69,360. Nutritionists employed by nongovernmental grantmaking and giving services reported an average salary of $66,590 per year.
Pay by State
According to the BLS, nutritionists employed in Maryland earned the highest average pay in 2012, $82,650 per year. Those in Nevada earned the second-highest pay, $71,840. Other high-paying states included California at $68,700, Hawaii at $65,050, and Alaska at $63,560. Utah was the lowest-paying state, where nutritionists earned an average of $46,850 per year.
Job Outlook
The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that the number of jobs for nutritionists in all capacities will grow at a rate of about 20 percent between 2010 and 2020. This is significantly faster than the average job growth rate of 14 percent predicted for the American economy, and will result in approximately 12,700 new nutritionist positions by 2020. Many of these jobs will be in the field of public health; according to a 2008 report by the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, there is a nationwide shortage of public health nutritionists in the United States, particularly in rural areas.

The bodyguards of Elite Guardians Agency have more than just skill and prowess in common; they're also all women. When it becomes clear that popular psychiatrist and radio personality Wade Savage has a stalker, his father secretly hires Elite Guardians in order to protect his son. But when Wade's bodyguard is attacked and nearly killed, agency owner Olivia Edwards must step in and fill the gap.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
Katie Singleton, a partner with the Elite Guardians Protection Agency, stumbles upon her next assignment quite by accident. Spotting blue lights at a familiar restaurant, she stops to investigate, only to discover that owner Daniel Matthews has become the target of someone who will go to any lengths to put him out of business. Daniel might be concerned, but he's not convinced that a bodyguard - and a female one at that - is necessary. A new attack and his niece's urgings are enough to make him reconsider.
When Maddy McKay and Quinn Holcombe don't show up for Quinn's surprise birthday party, his friends know that something is very wrong. Their search turns up little beyond evidence that Quinn and Maddy just decided to take off for a long overdue vacation. But it soon becomes apparent that they did not leave of their own accord. Maddy awakens in a cement room with no idea where she is. But it's not long before she realizes she's in the clutches of a madman exacting revenge by hunting.

Buzzfeed. That horrific amalgamation of Internet drivel. That endless stream of GIFs, "Top 21" Lists (please note the tasteful choice of only six points on this list), memes, and complaints about every age between 16 and 30. That guilty pleasure, just a click away from your Facebook feed to distract you during work hours (wash your hands afterwards).
There is much to disparage about the content that BuzzFeed spews out, crowdsourcing the college generation to in turn entertain that same age group. What makes it worse, truly, frighteningly, maddeningly worse, though, is the next part.
BuzzFeed's content strategy is far, far better than yours.
Oh, you can make complaints, raise your nose – your brand or product is higher class – above this nonsensical drivel that somehow manages to show up on your Twitter or Facebook, or perhaps by some twist of fate your Google+ the one time you checked it in the last three weeks.
But, here is the sad truth of the matter. That drivel did make it into your feed. And it likely does so regularly. Buzzfeed is doing something more than 90 percent of brands completely fail to do – executing an effective content strategy.
How is this possible? Here are six reasons why Buzzfeed destroys your content strategy:
1. BuzzFeed Isn't Afraid to Take Risks
BuzzFeed editors aren't spending hours checking whether fonts in images match approved brand guidelines. They don't fuss about with color palettes or whether someone will be offended by a picture choice. They post what they think will work.
2. BuzzFeed Has Something for Everyone
BuzzFeed may have a target demographic (likely early 20ish aged college students), but the scope of their topic choices shows they are not afraid to chase down engagement wherever they can find it. Forget customer profiling; they don't discriminate.
3. BuzzFeed's Content Can be Digested in a Matter of Seconds
Internet attention spans being what they are; this is a serious plus. You can scroll through an article in second and determine whether you want to give it more attention.
4. BuzzFeed's Content has Strong Visual Hooks
When you boil it down, BuzzFeed is probably 90 percent pictures, 10 percent text. This is a magical ratio for viral content. Even if animated GIFs were outlawed tomorrow, the image-heavy style of BuzzFeed articles would still work.
5. BuzzFeed's Site is Highly Social
If you want to interact with BuzzFeed, your only real choices involve social platforms. Social buttons are front and center in the UI, and even comments are driven with Facebook profiles.
6. BuzzFeed's Content is Endless
We all know that a regular content schedule improves engagement over time, but BuzzFeed takes this to a completely different level. New content is pushed out several times an hour during peak periods. At this scale, it doesn't matter if half your posts fail because that still means two posts an hour are succeeding. (See point number 1.)
