Here are three jobs that you can do from home – and the site and tools you need to make them happen.
But first, I should mention that a lot of "work from home" jobs you'll find online are scams. You really need to be alert when searching.
Here are some quick guidelines:
With those caveats in mind, let's look at some jobs.

Its okay to grow weary.
What have I learned from waiting? I'm always trying to discern the value. I don't want to miss a thing, if only for a selfish motive: that it might shorten the wait time, or prevent a future "training opportunity" because I didn't grasp it the first time.
I've learned to put all my reliance on what He says and not on what I see, hear, or feel.
I've learned that peace can come through hope and not just relief.
I've learned that while His ways are not my own, I can respect and revere them because I know His heart and His character.
I've learned that hope deferred does make the heart sick, but (thankfully) through His spirit, my hope can be energized on an hourly basis.
I've learned that there is no triumph more deeply felt than the ones we have to wait and labor for extensively. This converts to the type of worship that touches Him the most.
I've learned that there is nothing that deepens relationship more than sharing pain with someone and being comforted by them; and if relationship is the actual goal then suffering can be a beautiful thing.
I've learned that friendship with God should not be based own what He does for me, or even what I give to and do for Him. A healthy relationship includes just being together and enjoying one another. It involves presence more than exchange. I've learned that my desire of what He has promised should not trump my desire for Him alone.
I have learned that when I am longing for just a simple apple and He withholds it, it is because He is preparing a banqueting table, perfectly detailed and set up right in front of my drooling enemy; where my cup will overflow and the satisfaction will be unearthly.
I've learned that being joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer is a full time job; and when the joy wavers and wanes, and the patience flat lines, that it doesn't effect His banner over me, nor does it nullify the promise.
I've learned that its okay to grow weary.

Why See Catfish And The Bottlemen?
The New Generation of British Indie Rock
Hailing from Llandudno, Wales, Catfish and The Bottlemen eschew the rolling hills and mild-mannered folk music of their upbringing for a sound that's distinctly more rock'n'roll. The quartet have just released their debut album The Balcony and with their sights set on conquering the States, much like their counterparts and fellow British Indie Rock exports Arctic Monkeys, they're headed out on a nationwide tour!
The fledgling quartet gives a bluesy edge to their tales of young love and lust lost and won, in upbeat anthems that make it impossible to stand still when listened to. Mosh pits spring up at every gig, while crowd-surfers often ride the euphoric waves of the audience. Keep an eye out, because these lads are set to fill arenas soon!

Last week, I had the sad event of attending my great-uncle's funeral. He was married to my dad's mother's sister. It was sad, but it was also fun, because not only did I see my dad's brothers and their wives and my dad's cousin, I also met new -some degree of - cousins I had not met before.
It was sad but not that sad - when a person lives to 95 in mostly good health and has had a happy life with great kids and great grandchildren and a great wife (and with fabulous nephews and great nieces), you can think, "That's a pretty good run."
SH and I stayed for the reception. I was late getting in because I was gabbing with new to me cousin - child of my dad's cousin whom I had not met. Oh man! This woman is fabulous! I have the coolest people in my family.
By the time I got to the food, it was almost all gone except for the dessert. Woman does not live on dessert alone, but woman sure wants to take dessert home.
Fortunately, I had my new purse - the orange thing you see below THAT I LOVE - which meant I had room to wrap and stash leftover little cheesecakes. We are still eating those little cheesecakes.
I asked my dad's cousin's lady friend (I hate using the word "partner" - they are not in business together) if she thought it was OK to take leftovers.
She said absolutely - the retirement home residents were already starting to cruise for leftovers.
"The family might as well take them home," she said.
But that's not the main thing I wanted to talk about.
My great uncle was 95. My great aunt is 92. She is beautiful and elegant and sharp. I have really good genes.
I have even better genes - my dad's cousin said, "We're related to the oldest woman in Wisconsin! She's 112." He showed me photos of my aunt Helen at Vi's birthday party this summer. "Vi and Helen are cousins," he explained, which means Vi is also my cousin of some sort through my grandmother.
I googled Vi and discovered that yep, she is reportedly the oldest woman in Wisconsin and that she lives two blocks from me.
Two blocks.
There is an old folks' home by us.
I stopped by to meet Vi last night, but she had already gone to bed. "Oh just wake her up!" the nursing assistant said. "She just went to bed."
"When I am old and asleep, I do not want people to wake me up!" I said. But I did get close to Vi's bed - the door to her room was open - and whispered, "Vi! Vi!"
She did not awake.
However, she started talking in her sleep. "Oh, you shouldn't have!" she said. "That's so nice! But I don't have anything for you!"
I was tempted to wake her up just so she wouldn't have the distress of thinking she had been caught empty handed. But I didn't.

I love that Vi is going to have a visitor soon. And I do enjoy--to the extent one can, and there is such an extent-- family funerals when the dearly departed has had a good life and a dignified death, and everyone can catch up with each other, and there is a good table of ham sandwiches on buns, and pickles, and lots and lots of bars.

How to approach flexible working with an inflexible manager
Now that everyone has the right to ask for flexible working, it should be easy to get the flex you need. But not all managers are so keen on the idea, and some do try and block requests. Here's our advice on tackling a flex-sceptic.
In today's workplace, flexible working should be an option for everyone who wants it. Any employee who has worked in an organisation for at least 26 weeks has the right to ask for flexible working – and their employers have to seriously consider it.
Unfortunately, however, some managers are still resistant to the idea of allowing their staff to work part-time or flexibly. Sometimes there is a good reason, and sometimes there isn't; either way, these steps may help you get the answer you're looking for.
1.) Start by deciding what you're asking for
There are two very different ways to approach a flexible working request; formally or informally. If you are looking to change how much you work, such as going from a full-time to a part-time role, you will need to approach this formally, as it will require a change in your contract.
However, if you want to change where or when you work, such as coming in and leaving early on certain days or working remotely, you may be able to agree this informally. Whether you choose to do so will depend on your relationship with your manager; if you think they are likely to block it, a formal approach may be your best bet.
2.) Think about what the objections might be
There are a variety of reasons why a manager might not support your desire to work flexibly – and they are unlikely to be personal. So try and take the emotion out of the situation, and consider what else might be behind it:
- Are there any performance issues that might you seem unsuitable?
- Is there something specific in your job that makes flexibility hard to achieve?
- Might they be worried about the effect your flexibility would have on their own workload?
- Could they be wary of setting a precedent which they then have to offer more widely?
Once you've thought about what their objections might be, it's easier to work out how you could overcome them.
3.) Come up with solutions, not problems
It's important to tackle any conversations or requests with solution-based approach, rather than just expecting your manager to work everything out. If you've already come up with a solution to any potential objections, your manager is more likely to be able to see past them and agree to your request. For example, already having someone in mind who could pick up part of your role could really help alleviate concerns about you going part-time.
4.) Create and communicate a clear business case
Using the solutions you've developed, build a case around the benefits that your flexible arrangement could bring to the business. For example, if you can demonstrate that working from home one day a week would allow you to be more productive with certain tasks, that's a powerful argument.
To make your case more robust, make sure you use business language rather than approaching it with an emotional or personal tone. Even if you suspect that your manager might have personal objections to your request, it isn't helpful to bring this into the way you talk about it.
5.) Be prepared to be flexible in return
Ironically, some managers think that flexibility has to be introduced rigidly; that if they agree to a Tuesday-Thursday working week, for example, you will never change that under any circumstances.
In fact, flexibility works best when it works both ways. So if you are able to flex around your arrangement to suit the needs of the business, such as switching your days to attend a monthly team meeting, it's helpful to say so.
Similarly, you may need to compromise when negotiating the flexible arrangement itself. It's always worth asking for your best-case scenario, but there needs to be some give and take; if you want a three-day week, but could manage three-and-a-half, keep that in mind.
6.) If all else fails, get some support
Once you've been through all the steps above, you should be ready to put in your request, whether formally or informally. The law is clear on your employer's responsibility: they can only refuse your request if there are specific business reasons for doing so. You can see the list of permitted objections here.
However, even if their reasons are legally acceptable, you may not think they are valid: at this point, it becomes an HR issue. You do have the right to appeal the decision, but again, make sure that you keep your emotions out of any discussions, however disappointed you may feel.
If you have allies or role models who can support you, now is the time to pull them in. You can also seek advice from organisations like ACAS or Working Families.
Given that 87% of the UK's full-timers either work flexibly already or wish they could, flexible working requests are likely to become more and more common; hopefully, managers will become more receptive to match. Good luck!

Our first fun project was this zen ball, although I've seen it referred to by about 20 different names! It is a lot of fun to tangle paper strips and weave them into this cool 3-D ball for decorating.
We explored some embossing techniques and played with an exciting woven variation of Rixty by Sarah Del Mastro, CZT.
I love getting together with friends especially when they are so creative and inspiring!
What do you like to do when you gather with others?

SHOCK-WBV is showcasing its new ranges of shock mitigating products at SEAWORK, stand Q32, with particular focus on its C-series, the under seat suspension unit designed for new or retro-fitting to commercial and large leisure boats.
Graham Brown, managing director says: "This is our sixth time exhibiting at SEAWORK, but the first time we're bringing our SHOCK-WBV: C-series. We're delighted to be showcasing this latest, innovative, under seat suspension unit which provides comfort and reduces whole body vibration. The C-series is for those on commercial or larger leisure boats, and its already selling around the world to coastguard agencies and superyachts. We're at SEAWORK because the exhibition brings a diverse range of serious buyers together and that's who we're there to speak to, as we're very serious about our latest engineering solution for whole body vibration (WBV)."
Designed, tested and manufactured in the UK to reduce whole body vibration via an under seat, retro-fit shock mitigation system, SHOCK-WBV has three iterations, each coming with the choice of three shock absorber options. The C-series is specifically for commercial vessels, the P-series for pedestals and R-series for RIBS.
"We realised early in our testing and design," Graham continues, "that ultimate comfort could only be achieved with different designs for different seat types. Our original unit was a one-size-fits-all solution to aching bones after hours on the water, but we quickly realised that we could improve on that. Our second generation featured evolved movement and lateral support for real comfort, before we made the breakthrough into our third generation – that of engineering specific SHOCK-WBV series for commercial vessels, pedestals and RIBS. We are able to improve and evolve quickly with our in-house design and manufacturing capabilities and have taken real strides forward to launch our latest units for different boats and seating types."
The SHOCK-WBV: C-series is lightweight and tough as it's made from aerospace grade aluminium and 316 Stainless Steel. Water jet aluminium tooling plate is used throughout the C-series as it has no flaws in the material. This means that the C-series can be manufactured to much tighter tolerances than cast aluminium, eliminating 'play' (unwanted lateral movement and twisting). In addition, due to the width of the C-series units, a dedicated water jetted aluminium bracing plate has been added to increase stiffness and further reduce any twisting. The C-series is one of the toughest units available and, under proposed ISO methodology classes is rated:
2 – commercial and leisure
3 – search and rescue
Technical specification:
The system offers built-in lateral stability for superb levels of comfort.
Travel: 83mm
Vertical: 71 mm
Horizontal: 43 mm
Unit weight: 4.9kg
Suitable for boats on inland and coastal waters.
The C-series comes with three shock absorber options:
SHOCK-WBV: C1 FOX Float EVOL Shock
SHOCK-WBV: C2 DNM Air Shock
SHOCK-WBV: C3 DNM Spring Shock
SHOCK-WBV's range for commercial vessels (C-series), pedestals (P-series) and RIBS (R-series), has been iteratively developed and manufactured in Warsash, Southampton by parent company Sea Sure. Each series is carefully designed and tested multiple times. As well as hundreds of hours on the water testing, SHOCK-WBV is also tested on Sea Sure's inhouse ISO certified drop test rig. Data from both testing systems are used through development to further improve the performance.
Graham continues: "We've seen fantastic take-up from the Swedish coastguard among many others. As we are all well aware, EU directives mean that boat owners have responsibilities, so we're delighted that SHOCK-WBV works so well to decrease whole body vibration. Our engineering can really help owners with their duty of care to passengers and crew."
Appointments to discuss why SHOCK-WBV's under seat suspension units leave the competition standing can be booked by emailing email@example.com.

The real value of the royal family: Queen's accounts to be audited
THE Royal Family has never faced more scrutiny over its finances.
Last week we learned that the Government's most powerful watchdog is poised to perform a complete audit of the Queen's accounts as part of an investigation into whether the Royal Family provides value for money to the taxpayer.
The move follows a change in law which, for the first time, gives MPs oversight of royal finances.
Auditors will look into every aspect of the royals' expenditure including the cost of transport and the report of their findings will then be scrutinised by the Public Accounts Committee, which will decide whether to call palace officials to give evidence.
However, while it might appear easy to audit what the royals spend the question of whether they are worth it is likely to prove far more difficult to answer.
We already know the Government's contribution to the royal coffers. In April the Queen will receive £36.1million to fund official duties, a 16 per cent increase on the £31million paid by taxpayers last year.
Auditing expenditure is one thing but how do you work out if they are value for money when you cannot put a price on the boost they give to tourism, their charitable contributions and the extent of their influence as globe-trotting diplomats?
The royal wedding, for example, was said to have boosted the economy by £630million, attracting a worldwide audience of 2 billion people (compared to a mere 111 million who watched the American Super Bowl).
If The Firm, as George VI described the Royal Family, was actually a public limited company then the Queen as chief executive officer would be able to command a multi-million pound pay packet.
Equally, Prince Philip as chairman of the board (the overseer to the Queen's do-er) Charles, Camilla, William and Harry as board members and less senior royals as non-executive directors would each be on generous salaries if they were employed in the private sector.
Barclays, for example, operates in more than 50 countries with 140,000 employees. The Queen, by comparison, reigns over 16 Commonwealth realms with a population of 137 million.
If former Barclays boss Bob Diamond is anything to go by then the Queen could command wages in excess of £10million a year. Philip and his board would each be on at least £5million while non-executive directors would earn upwards of £1million each and that is putting it conservatively.
On my estimation the Queen would be worth £42.5million a year
In order to find out what value the City would place on the royals we asked three financial gurus to work their wizardry.
The results were extraordinary. As the table put together by city analysts Richard Hurford and James Blackshaw shows, if the royals were paid per appearance then they would be able to command exorbitant fees like A-list celebrities and sports stars.
Blackshaw, who has witnessed first hand the work done by royals after gaining Zara Phillips her first sponsorship deal while working for BGC Partners, says: "Bearing in mind that Cheryl Cole was recently paid £250,000 for singing in Venice for an hour, what might the Queen be able to charge?"
Former Barclays trader and IT expert Richard Hurford, who put together the table, said: "On my estimation the Queen would be worth £42.5million a year and all 10 some £250million."
Respected City commentator David Buik, who worked for BGC Partners from 1999 to 2011, analysed the data. He says: "When you look at the relevant figures the contribution the Royal Family makes to the UK's global reputation is immeasurable as well as priceless. Internationally the Royal Family is revered beyond words.
"Against the earning power of the glitterati and so-called celebrities the Royal Family is a financial snip."
Our table took the top-most senior royals and calculated how many engagements each had carried out last year. Thanks to the help of Tim O'Donovan, who calculates how many duties are performed by the royals each year, we were able to compile a breakdown of their engagements both here and overseas.
We then took into consideration each royal's age and years of service to The Firm. In the Queen and Prince Philip's case this was judged to be the 61 years since Her Majesty acceded the throne on February 6, 1952.
For royal wives it was calculated from marriage and for the princes from when they took up royal duties.
In Charles's case it was when he was invested as Prince of Wales in 1969, in Andrew's when he left the Royal Navy in 2001 and in William's case when he left St Andrews University in 2005.
We estimated Princess Anne had been performing royal duties since the Queen Mother retired in 1981 and after she finished competing in equestrianism to have her children Peter and Zara Phillips. The Wessexes took up full-time royal duties when they gave up their careers in 2002, the Queen's Golden Jubilee year. We then apportioned an "X factor" rating to each royal out of 10 based on their appeal.
The Queen and the Duchess of Cambridge both scored 10 out of 10 while William was a close second with 9. We judged Philip, Charles, Camilla and Sophie Wessex to all share equal popularity on 7, gave more low-profile Anne 6 out of 10, lesser known Edward 5 and Andrew just 1 based on recent unfavourable headlines concerning his links to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, which cost him his trade role in 2011.
Taking all this into consideration, the City bods calculated the approximate personal appearance fee that could be commanded by all 10, both in the UK and overseas and multiplied it by the number of engagements they performed last year.
CHARLES came out as the highest potential earner on £49,440,000 because of his above average popularity rating and the fact that he carried out the most engagements. Despite being far less popular Andrew's love of foreign travel bumped his fees up to £23,450,000.
Although they have the X factor, William and Kate's fewer public appearances meant they earned £10,600,000 and £12,900,000 respectively. Hardworking Princess Anne came out third with a pulling power of £36,390,000 thanks to her busy schedule.
Could the Queen really command £42,500,000 every year? As Buik points out the table is only "a bit of fun" but it does suggest that the Royal Family's contribution tends to be grossly undervalued.
He says: "The Royal Family's selfless devotion to duty shines like a beacon in our day-to-day lives. We need to reflect on how lucky we are to benefit from their tireless commitment."

Where has Raquel gone?
Not sure, but you might be one of those Wellingtonians who has also wondered where Raquel has gone? Every time I passed her billboard on the motorway to Lower Hutt I was reminded of me 'not knowing'. After all I have been photographing her several times throughout her real estate career over the last years.... so I gave her a call and she filled me in!
So finally it can be announced to the public:
Since this week she is now part of the real estate team at Ray White in Lower Hutt. I've linked to her big reveal video on my Facebook page. Take a look, it's worth it and fun to watch.
With these news go these lifestyle photographs I took of her.
They express what a very elegant and warm woman Raquel is, qualities that next to her real estate expertise and spark for life make her a joy to be (and work) with.

A beautiful example of the Harcourts rebranding
Elizabeth Grove (a lovely client and member of the Harcourts real-estate team) came by yesterday to show me the finished product, her business card. It features one of her favourite headshots from our photo session a few weeks back. I loved holding those smooth satiny cards in my hand!
Harcourts rebranded recently and now accessorizes their team with a turquoise-navy striped silk scarf as well as having a refreshingly new agency logo and feel altogether. During the photo session we found so many different ways of how to wear this scarf ...it was fun and gave her gorgeous dress even more of a classy edge.
Elizabeth will have her life-size banner and street sign coming out shortly so watch out Wellington and Regional House Buyers and Sellers...she might be just the agent you have been looking for!
Anne's Elegance and Coco Chanel's advice to all women..
This is Anne I photographed a few weeks back. She made me think about elegance and what it means to me.
To dress elegant is to make a sense that makes an individual feel bursting with delight for oneself and others. It is certainly not a matter of showing off one's finery; many of us don't even have fine clothes. Dressing with elegance is a simple matter of showing respect through subtlety and simplicity.
A truly stylish woman may sift through the trends but she is certain that style is more important than fashion. Being elegant is not about brands but rather about items that flatter the figure. It is about imagination that represents understated glamour, of being selective, exquisite, and delicately tasteful.
In this modern times, everybody can look elegant in inexpensive clothes... even the rich buy them too. As Coco Chanel once said, "Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress."
While elegance can make a strong impression, it does not enter the race of glamour to impress people. It refuses the approach on image over essence. True elegance speaks by displaying effortless beauty presenting that which is quiet, steady, and genuine. Therefore, despite the artificiality of the world today, elegance is still concerned with the quality of being honest, and not pretense.
Best of loveliness to the many elegant women around the world!
Sophie and 7 Tips for a better Acting Portfolio
Hi Everyone,
As I do quite a lot of Acting Portfolios I thought to give you a few tips and tricks on what do do and look out for.
Here some examples of Sophie, an up and coming actress I photographed last week.
Her shots are simple, natural and showcase her range of different looks.
The headshot. It's the single most important marketing tool for an actor, and it's amazing how many people do it wrong just to cut a few corners. Actors, it's time to take it more seriously. When that little headshot jpeg pops up on a casting director's computer, you want them to say, "Yes, bring that person in!" Not "Yikes, that guy kinda scares me."
Your headshot is your calling card. It will be sent out and emailed to tons of casting directors and agents, who see hundreds of these every day, on their desk and on their computer. If your headshot is bad, you look bad. You want to be seen as a pro, not an amateur, so the way you present yourself in your picture is everything. If you want people to take you seriously, you must have a good, high quality, killer headshot. Not an iPhone pic, not a Facebook photo of you outside with the wind gently blowing your hair..
So here some tips as to what you need to keep in mind when it comes to your Acting headshots:
1. Go pro. Spend the money. It's worth it. Go to a professional, who is trained, understands lighting, and takes headshots for a living, not some friend who happens to have a decent camera who "sorta knows a little about photography." Save those pictures for Instagram, and leave the headshots to the pros. If the headshots look cheap, they probably are. And you look like you don't care about your career.
2. Go for personality over glamour. Make sure it looks like you. Chill with the airbrushing. Casting directors expect you to look just like your headshot, and will not be happy when you show up looking totally different, or 10 years older. It's not about looking pretty, it's about representing your type, age wrinkles included. It should look like you on your best day, showing your age, and who you are now.It's not about the type you want to be, it's the type you are.
3. It's all about the eyes. Just like with on-camera acting, it's all about the eyes, and what's happening behind them. It's your closeup, your moment. Your eyes should be perfectly in focus, alive, and energized, and not dead and glazed over. There should be strong inner thoughts, implying a backstory and a life behind the eyes. A slight squint, and strong piercing eyes will bring a picture to life and help it stand out in a pile of hundreds. A good headshot photographer knows how to bring this out in you.
4. Pay attention to framing, lighting, and background. In general, a good headshot is chest up with good lighting on your face, and no strong dramatic shadows, unless you are going in for "The Phantom of the Opera." Three-quarter shots are good for print, and extreme closeups are good for, well, nothing. Look directly into camera, and the focus should be on the center of your eyes, not your left ear, or your shirt collar. Be sure the background is blurred, which means it's shot with a good, high quality camera with a high-depth of field, which makes you stand out. It's about you, not the environment.
5. Natural light vs. studio. Some photographers do both, as they offer a different look and feel. Natural light gives a very real, "film" look, which I prefer. Studio lighting tends to be a little more polished, with a more neutral backdrop. Both can be wonderful.
6. Clothing and props. I once saw a headshot of a guy with a bird on his head. Why? Because he wanted to stand out. Let's not get crazy here. Keep it simple and classy, and follow the standard format. Professionalism gets you noticed, not desperation. A simple, solid color shirt with a little texture that fits you well and matches your eyes should do the trick. No graphics or anything you think might distract from your face. And no props. (You know that, right?) If you think you are going to play cop roles, you don't need to wear the outfit in the headshot. It's a bit much, and very limiting.
7. Don't go crazy with the makeup. Yes, lots can be done with retouching. There is no need to put on tons of makeup. We offer professional Make-up services to make you look like yourself on your best day, and not look like you tried too hard. Girls, be yourself, do your hair the way you would for every audition. Guys, bring some oil sheets to take down the shine, and maybe use a lightly tinted moisturiser to take out the redness and even your skin tone.
Good luck!

Minoli and Matthew's Wedding at Foxglove
Golden, Peach and White were the colours of their day. To me it seemed that the entire city of Wellington took on these shades just for them.
It was a beautiful hot and sunny day...The Ballroom of Foxglove was dressed exquisitely taking each guest on a journey much further away than the Wellington Waterfront. Sri Lankan Drummers and the candle ceremony, sweet cake to bless their journey ahead as well as a contemporary Bollywood Dance Duo made this wedding so special and memorable.Read More

Just another Halloween Banner!
I did the usual, use my Cricut to cut out the letters and each of the banner flags. Nestabilities were used to cut the vellum that was adhered to the flags with pop up dots.
The witch faces were made using my Cricut and a variety of paper punches. The hair was made using some green ric-rak. I added a few paper punched glitter spiders for a "creepy" but cute look.
This banner is actually two separate banners. Each one of the flags is approximately 5 1/2 inches by 7 inches. The letters are approximately 3 1/2 inches tall.
The flags are connected with some black tulle. The top banner measures approximately 33 inches long, the bottom banner is approximately 38 1/2 inches long.
Paper: Echo Park, Recollections, Bazzill
Ink: Memento
Misc: Paper punches, googley eyes, pop up dots, ric-rak, Cricut Pretty Pennants Cartridge, Cricut Paper Doll Dress Up Cartridge, Cricut Alphalicious Cricut Cartridge, black tulle

Location: Charlottenlund, Denmark
Client: Ordrupgaard
Program: Museum extension
Size: 1,685 m²
Status: Competition 2012
Collaborators: MVRDV, Rambøll, Topotek1, Bartenbach LichtLabor
Ordrupgaard is a museum located almost secretly in a forest near Jægersborg Deer Park. This project creates an underground extension of the museum which holds one of Scandinavia's largest Impressionist collections. Instead of seeing the extension as an underground expansion, we see it as a valley with strong connections to the garden above. The roof is designed as a crackled pattern similar to a pointillist painting. The galleries 'break' through the roof and become part of the roof composition – just as their openings draw in light to the space below. The roof surface thus becomes a garden in the park and the visitor, through their journey, becomes a part of the pointillist picture.

Famous Lawmen in Colorado
W.B. "Bat" Masterson: Denver Sheriff from Ford Co Kansas (Dodge City)
J.H "Doc" Holliday, D.D.S.: Dentist and part time frontier lawman
Pat Desmond: Marshall of Pueblo 1877
Henry Ellis: Sheriff of Georgetown 1876
Henly Price: first Sheriff of Pueblo county 1875
The Georgetown Lynching
On October 13, 1877, Henry Thedie, a respected local butcher and father of three small children, was brutally murdered near Georgetown and robbed of eighty dollars. A man named Robert Schamle was accused of being the murderer, when he left the area on the run, he was pursued by the Rocky Mountain Detective Association, operated by General David J. Cook of Denver.
Schamle was spotted on an eastbound freight train out of Pueblo, and Sheriff Ellis – a member of General Cook's Rocky Mountain Detective Association – sent his deputy Pat Desmond in pursuit. Sheriff's Deputy Desmond caught up with the fugitive of West Las Animas in Bent County and returned him to Pueblo. Schamle was taken back to Georgetown where, on the early morning of December 15, 1877 he was taken from jail by an enraged mob and hanged in a nearby pigpen.
The Royal Gorge War
Deputy sheriff, Desmond assisted Sheriff Henly R. Price that same spring in the hanging of Victor Nuneza convicted murderer, the first legal execution in the county. Running for office in the municipal elections that April, he defeated his opponent in election as city marshal by a margin of three-to-one. That same year, in February, Desmond had assisted Sheriff W.B."Bat" Masterson of Ford County, Kansas, by capturing George Holcomb, a notorious cattle rustler and escapee from the Dodge City jail. In June of that same year, these two legendary western lawmen found themselves looking at each other over the sights of their guns, on opposite sides in the little known Royal Gorge War.
The Royal Gorge War was a battle waged between the Denver & Rio Grande Rail Road and the Sante Fe railroad for the right-of-way to the bustling silver camps at Leadville. Lawyers for both railroads argued their cases in Colorado courts, while armed gunmen hired by the Sante Fe Rail Road, took control of Rio Grande stations from Denver to Cannon City. Bat Masterson was in command of a group of about 150 men who held the key position at the roundhouse at Pueblo.
On June 11, 1879, R.F. Weitbrec, treasurer of the Rio Grande, met with Chief Engineer J.A. McMurtrie, Sheriff Henly R Price and his deputy, Pat Desmond, to discuss a means to drive Masterson and his men from the roundhouse in Pueblo. Desmond suggested that they steal a cannon from the state armory, but it was discovered that Masterson had already appropriated it, and had it in the roundhouse, trained on the line of attackers.
McMurtrie, himself an Irishman, and Deputy Sheriff Pat Desmond assembled some fifty Rio Grande men in front of the Victoria Hotel at three o'clock that afternoon and issued them ammunition and rifles equipped with bayonets. Then they made an assault on the telegraph office on the station platform, forced the doors, and drove the defenders out through the rear windows the roundhouse in force, Then they moved on the roundhouse in force.
Weitbrec conferred with Bat Masterson, after which Bat ordered his men to surrender the roundhouse, and the confrontation was over, Bat's battalion had suffered one casualty. Henry Jenkins, reported in an "unbiased" story in the DODGE CITY TIMES. "was shot in the back by a drunken guard of the Rio Grande force. The unfortunate man was climbing out of the depot window." Josh Webb, another of Bat's men, lost a front tooth in close fighting, and a handsome gold one was inserted at gratis by J.H "Doc" Holliday, D.D.S. According to Bat Masterson's biographer, Alfred Henry Lewis, Bat "smote a Pueblo railway policeman so grievously upon his skull with a six-shooter, that the latter officer, who had wrongfully assailed Mr. Masterson with a bludgeon, must be furloughed to the hospital for a month.

Since California estate planning documents provide for your wishes in the event you become incapacitated and later distribute the wealth you have accumulated over your life at the time you die, your will, living trust and durable powers of attorney are some of the most important documents you will sign. Where to keep these documents is an important decision.
While a safe deposit box or a home safe is probably the most secure place to keep any documents where you can be assured that they are protected from theft, fire, damage, tampering or loss, I recommend leaving them in a more accessible place.
A power of attorney is used during your incapacity and if the person who has been given power by you cannot get into your safe deposit box or home safe because they either don't have a bank key or combination to a lock, those documents won't be too helpful in your time of need.
Don't be too concerned about your will, living trust or power of attorney being stolen: who wants those documents anyway? They cannot be used if you are alive and well. At the moment you die, just pre-arrange with your executor or trustee of your living trust to be sure he or she knows where your originals are so they can get to them before anyone else. As for the possibility of losing them in a fire, simply get another original set from the lawyer who wrote the documents if they are burned or destroyed.

Video: The Quiet Riot Of A Tesla Model S Burnout
Electric cars are perceived by many people to be slow, quiet, and frankly a bit boring. And for the most part these people aren't wrong. The Tesla Model S sedan is the exception though, as it is fast, brash, and beautifully designed. It also does a badass burnout, as the next video shows.
This video comes from the guys at Road & Track, who (I assume) took a Tesla Model S loaner and decided to see what happens when you try to burn rubber. The result? Lots of tire squealing and smoke, making for one weird sight; never have I witnessed a quieter burnout, and as a member of many muscle car communities, I can see that I've seen a LOT of burnouts.
The burnout is quick and to the point, but the Tesla Model S is no joke. The rear-mounted electric motor drives the back wheels to the tune of 413 horsepower and 443 ft-lbs of torque (in the 85 kWh Signature Performance model at least), more than enough power to burn rubber. With a top speed of up to 130 mph and a o-60 time of just 4.4 seconds, the Model S ain't no slowpoke either. But does a burnout have the same effect without the roar of an engine…any engine? Sound off in the comments below.

First it was multichannel. Then it was omnichannel. Now it's 360-degree view of the customer. Sure, the buzzwords have changed, but the problem persists. Why is it still so difficult to have timely insight into what customers are doing in-store, online and through your call center?
Though technology has become more sophisticated, it's been nearly impossible to see what customers are doing online and in-store fast enough to make that information actionable and valuable. Yet, 73% of customers demand a personalized experience—so, retailers do what they can with what they have.
Until now. SmarterHQ has solved this problem for marketers with their new StoreFront edition. With StoreFront, marketers can easily captivate each of their customers with relevant, personalized marketing messages—regardless of where they shop. SmarterHQ's personalization engine analyzes online and offline consumer activity to automate real-time interactions across email and web to drive more revenue and increase customer lifetime value.

Therefore, marketing campaigns that drive conversion both online and in-store are ideal.
For Finish Line, SmarterHQ's StoreFront has already contributed to a significant increase in the lifetime value of their customers. Scott Posilkin, CRM & Retention Digital Email Strategist for Finish Line, leverages the real-time online and offline transactional and behavioral data in StoreFront to convert more of their in-store only customers to become omnichannel.

"The StoreFront Edition of SmarterHQ has allowed us to truly understand and market to our customer like never before," said Scott Posilkin, CRM & Retention Digital Email Strategist for Finish Line. "Let's say a customer purchased something from Adidas in-store. They will then receive an post-purchase email that has product recommendations based on the specific item and brand they purchased. When they visit the website, they will also see a personalized onsite banner based on that same product that they bought. Our goal is to tie all digital and physical touch-points together to stay relevant to the customer to keep them engaged."
