Interview | Questions & Answers With Otto Orlandi
Learn more about Otto Orlandi in this exclusive interview. Besides being a DJ he is also known in the industry as a Multi-Platinum & Awarded Ghost Producer. We talked about his new single "Fever", which is the result of a collaboration with RAYNE & Karmello. Get all the facts here!
1 – Hey Otto, welcome to Electro Wow! What was the main factor/influence in your life on your decision to start music production?
Thank you so much for having me here today! I really cannot identify a specific event in my life that made me decide to become a music producer. I have always been passionate about music and it has been an essential part of my being. I think that working in the music industry was always the only thing I had in mind and the only career path that could make me truly fulfilled and happy.
2 – How long have you been active in the music industry as a Producer & DJ?
I was still a teenager when I first got into the world of music production. My first job in the music business was at the Como Fashion Café, the most popular club in my hometown Como, Italy. I started as a lighting designer at the club and also took care of promoting and management. After that, I decided to make production work the sole recipient of my focus and energies. In 2012, I enrolled at Music Academy of Como and got my degree in sound design. Shortly after, I released my first breakthrough song, "Bells at Midnight", and that's when my career as a producer took off.
3 – Have your musical tastes evolved much over the years?
I have always been in love with Pop music and EDM. Since I began my career as a producer, I tried to take inspiration from the big names in the music industry while always focusing on creating my own sound. I've always wanted to make music that makes people feel good. I keep that as a guideline for when I try to perfect my craft in the studio. However, throughout the years, I continuously tried to keep my mind open to better understand how different styles and influences could help me improve my sound.
4 – How did you come about collaborating with RAYNE & Karmello on your new single "Fever"?
I met Rayne & Karmello at the Promo Only music conference in Atlantic City in July of 2017. We immediately had great chemistry as a team and we had a similar vision about what we want our sound to be like. I had a positive feeling about having a collaboration with them. I contacted Rayne and Karmello shortly after the conference was over and they agreed about the project. A few months later, we were in the studio working hard on the release of Fever and that's how it came to be.
5 – Where did you take inspiration to produce the single?
For the release of "Fever", I wanted to experiment something new with my sound. I have had for a while the idea of producing a track with funk and jazz vibes. Funk Wav Vol 1 by Calvin Harris and the sound of Jamiroquai were definitely massive sources of inspiration in the realization of "Fever".
6 – When did you start ghost producing for other artists?
I began working in the studio shortly after I obtained my degree in sound design. As I gained more visibility thanks to my releases, I managed to obtain work contracts with several artists signed by Sony Music and Universal Music. I produced at Capitol Records in Los Angeles, Abbey Roads Studios in London and X-Level studios in Stockholm. I have a few big projects coming up soon, but you guys will have to wait a little longer for that.
7 – What's the most challenging part of ghost producing?
I think that the most challenging task that comes with ghost production is to bring out the full potential of the artist's talent without drastically changing his personal style.
8 – Finally, what motivates you to continue pursuing your passions in the music world?
At the moment, I think the biggest motivation are my fans. After my first few releases, I received a lot of positive feedback from the EDM and Pop community and that made me feel truly happy and fulfilled. I want to keep producing music that transmits positivity and good vibes so that everyone can enjoy it.
Exclusive Interview: APKLYPZ On His Debut Album 'Dystopionics'
In an exclusive interview with APKLYPZ, the American video producer based in Pensacola, Florida gives us some insights on his debut album, 'Dystopionics'. If you're into electronic music and psychedelic art, then you'll like the way he showcases his creativity. Find out more here!
1 — First of all, what made you want to start making tracks and videos?
I have been playing music since I was 10. It has always been my main artistic focus and the medium I feel most viscerally connected with. A video career opened up and took over my life in a good way, and I always knew I would circle back around to making music. APKLYPZ is the manifestation of that.
2 — What's your favorite part of your job?
I get to work with a lot of talented smart people and that's always a blast. But definitely my favorite part is seeing an animation I made or a video I worked on out in the wild. I work from a small home studio in Florida, very disconnected from the larger tech world in which I work. I can work on animations for an event for months and it feels very personal and intimidating in a way. Then flying out to the event and seeing those animations plastered on taxis and buildings and billboards makes it kind of overwhelming and a big rush.
3 — Why do you define your music style as "the soundtrack to the apocalypse on LSD"?
LOL, I think its a bit cheeky but an apt description at times. For my day job, I make very "perfect" art, sleek corporate non-offensive art. I love it. But of course, there is a side of me that likes the grunge, the imperfect, the macabre, Metal. And of course psychedelic culture and art as well. In my warped mind, all the songs, the videos, the names, all come from a different world. I try to write music for that world.
4 — What can listeners expect on your newly released album 'Dystopionics'?
Glitchy beats and haunting earworm melodies all laid out in a glitchy psychedelic dystopian landscape. And a closing track that might surprise some listeners.
5 — How long did it take you to produce this material? Did you collaborate with other artists on this project?
APKLYPZ is me at every role. I do bounce ideas and tracks off my wife and friends for notes but beyond that, it's me at all stages for the music and video + marketing, which I am terrible at. This project took about a year start to finish.
6 — Why is it entitled 'Dystopionics'?
I wrote the music and created the art really for the place or world I had in my head. My years in video make me a very visual thinker, even when writing music. So for me, I like to envision a "scene" and write music to the emotion of the scene that fits in that world. At some point in a late-night mixing session, I got high enough to think of 'Dystopionics' and I thought it was a great name that captures the tone of the tracks.
7 — The new music video for "Time" looks amazingly trippy. What's your inspiration behind these visuals?
The music videos are fun. This is where I can kind of stretch my other muscles and start to create visual representations of the idea. For me, "Time" was always going to be a glitched-out degrading world if I made a music video for it. Once I got that chance I worked for a couple of months trying to create the visuals. I am really happy with how it turned out and so far I think the response has been pretty positive.
9 — Have you ever produced soundtracks or videos for sci-fi movies or TV series?
That is something I would love to do but I have not. I work mostly in corporate video and have to handle audio duties on many corporate documentaries. Even as a video guy, I am an audio guy.
10 — Are there any surprises for 2020?
Yes, I am already mapping out my next release… it will be pretty different.
Ananya Birla Discusses New Tune "Day Goes By" Ft. Sean Kingston In Interview
She's a popstar, mental health campaigner, entrepreneur and the first female artist to go platinum singing in English in India. I'm talking about Ananya Birla, who got the chance to chat with Electro Wow blog about her latest collaborative single with Sean Kingston, "Day Goes By" + much more. Scroll down to read this exclusive interview.
1 – What do you miss most about open-mic nights in London?
I really loved those little shows. I guess sometimes I miss their anonymity. No-one knowing who I was, no hype, no real expectation. I was also having a tough time back then at college and those nights around London, when it was just me up on stage, was something I used to look forward to the entire week..
2 – Apart from open-mic nights, in what other ways did you promote your music at the early stage of your career?
I've always loved performing, but back at that start of it all I kept pretty quiet about it. I was still full of self-doubt, and unsure whether I had what it took to make it work as a career. It wasn't until I signed on with Universal back in India that I really believed I could do it and started the whole self-promotion thing. I was lucky that one of my first tracks was remixed by Afrojack, which threw me into everything pretty quickly.
3 – Do you consider yourself a natural-born singer?
Music has always been a massive part of my life – nothing in the world makes me happier. I grew up in an incredibly musical household, and was always performing, whether it was playing classical Indian music on the santoor or playing my friends songs I'd written, strumming along on my guitar. It's a part of me, for sure.
4 – I know you just toured along with American rapper Wiz Khalifa. What did you learn from this amazing experience?
It was unreal to be able to share the stage with such a talented artist like Wiz. To do what he does, and make it look effortless – now that's talent.
5 – What type of listeners would be interested in your new tune "Day Goes By"?
It is upbeat reggae/pop vibes… you can dance with it or chill to it. We had a lot of fun making the track and you can definitely hear that in the final product.
6 – Is there any message you want to share through the lyrics?
I write or co-write all of my lyrics, and they're all based on my own personal experience. While the topics are universal – love, lust, heartbreak– the feelings in the tracks are all authentic. I want my audience to connect with my music emotionally, nothing makes me happier than when I read DMs from fans saying one of my songs helped them to feel better about something they were going through.
7 – How did your collaboration with Sean Kingston come about?
I met Sean last year when I opened for his tour in India. We got on immediately – he's such a level-headed, grounded guy. He really vibed with my sound, and we agreed we'd jam together next time I was in LA. So, when I was over, I hit him up and pretty soon after we were making Day Goes By.
8 – Can you share with us any funny anecdote while you were recording the music video?
I gave one of my friends back in India a call on their birthday, and I had told Sean she was a massive fan. Next thing I know, he grabs the phone and is singing Beautiful Girl down the line. She loved it!
9 – Who would you love to collaborate with in the future?
So many people, all over the world. Collaborations with artists from different places really help elevate a song to another level because everyone has such a unique way of working and drawing inspiration. Khalid has been doing some amazing stuff recently, I would absolutely love to collaborate with him. Post Malone, I am also loving at the moment. Since I was a kid, I dreamed of working with Eminem.
10 – Last question, as an active mental health campaigner, do you believe music can improve the state of the mind?
There is a lot of evidence to say so. Music has the power to act as a tool for processing emotions, trauma, and grief—and it can also be a great way for dealing with anxiety. I also recently read that heavy metal is particularly good for combatting depression. Personally, music has helped me through some of the most difficult periods of my life.
Music has also given me and many others an amazing platform to speak about an issue that is still not really openly discussed. The more we talk about it, the more likely we are to get rid of the stigma that prevents so many people from reaching out and getting help, and also to make sure these people feel less alone.
SYNES Opens Up About Chart-Topping Single "The Man I Am"
SYNES opens up about "The Man I Am", a Synthpop ballad that debuted at number 3 on the LGBTQ chart. But behind the catchy melodies, there are also emotive and relatable lyrics. For all those who know him, you'll agree that all his songs are impossible to go unnoticed due to his powerful and strong vocals. Read our full interview down here!
1 – First of all, what message do you want to convey to your listeners with your new single "The Man I Am"?
I think the message that I want to send my listeners with my new single is don't be afraid to write about stuff that's personal. Good music comes from the heart, and great lyrics come from the heart. Art is subjective. Be who you are, and don't forget to thank those who made you who you are.
2 – Are the lyrics based on a personal story?
Actually yes. The song is written as a thank you to my late mother who died back in 2017. I wrote the song as a story first. Recounting the time I walked into her house after she passed to pick up the pieces of her life. My mother always kept pictures of us kids on her walls and when I arrived there I had to take them down off the walls which was rough. The song starts with the memories of those pictures. In looking at them one by one, I saw the timeline of her and how she was with me growing up. It was beautiful and tragic all at the same time, just like her. It took me a long time to forgive my mother for some behavior over the years. But this song was the catharsis I needed to move on. This song is dedicated to her memory.
3 – What's your favorite line from this song?
"I try to find the reason why you were so blind, But now I'll swallow all my pride." Because this is the moment when I forgave her.
4 – If I am not wrong, I believe your sound is influenced by Depeche Mode. Is that correct?
Absolutely, among others such as VNV Nation, and Petshop Boys, and other great Synthpop acts. I grew up going to industrial and goth clubs so my sound is still very much in that vein.
5 – Is this the first time you collaborated with Giuseppe D during the recording process of a song?
Actually no, he co-produced both "Something's Got to Give", and "It's Over". We have been working together since the inception of SYNES. He's a great producer.
6 – Why do you believe this track is going to keep climbing up the charts? How do you feel about it?
Ha! One can only hope, right? There is so much music out there, it humbles me that people want to listen to my record. I think it's doing well because it is a deeply personal song that folks can feel connected to. Maybe they have someone in mind as well that made them who they are when they listen.
7 – How many days did it take you to shoot the video?
Actually only one. I was graciously given the space from my college to use and we banged it out in one full 9 hour day.
8 – Are you planning to release remixes?
As of this time, we are not planning on releasing remixes. Perhaps an acoustic or just piano version, but not remixes.
9 – Is SYNES taking a dark direction with his music for the upcoming singles?
I've always lived on the darker side of things. I have a hard time connecting to stuff that is overly happy. Not because I'm sad, I just don't think it's genuine. Maybe one day I'll write a love song or a soulful ballad, but since the world is dark, and my world is in a dark place, my writing and art are going to be as well. I think art should reflect the artist's situation. Anything else feels disingenuous.
10 – Finally, is there anything else you would like to share with your fans?
Be on the lookout for new singles, and my album "7" which is coming soon. And keep at it, that little voice telling you shouldn't is the reason why you should. Remember that!
Interview | Questions & Answers With Roberto Rodriguez
Roberto Rodriguez is known for his releases on labels such as Red Lizard, Pulsive Media, and Seriously Records and has seen support from major DJs such as Don Diablo, Oliver Heldens and Timmy Trumpet. His latest release "Nostalgia" is a melodic Bass House tune that's guaranteed to bring the party. We caught up with Roberto to find out more about his track.
1 — Hi Roberto, first off, great track! Can you tell us a bit about the story behind 'Nostalgia'?
Hey and thank you! This song was created in a summer studio session and was produced in a few hours. I wanted to capture those summer feels in this track.
2 — How do you approach creating a new production?
First of all, there must be nice weather, lots of sunshine! Then I like to have a lot of positive energy and just be in a good mood when I'm producing.
3 — What do you love most about this track?
As in most of my songs, the main melody is what is most memorable.
4 — Would you say this is the typical 'Roberto Rodriguez' sound?
This is not the typical 'Roberto Rodriguez' sound because it does not exist. We are in these times now where every song should sound different and I love experimenting with each release.
5 — What has the reaction been like so far?
So far the reaction has been really positive. I think that with good promotion, this song can do really well on the market.
6 — How would you describe "Nostalgia" to someone who hasn't heard it yet?
"Nostalgia" is a song that can be classified as a light Bass House. It is a track that allows you to let loose and have fun at parties.
7 — What do you do to spark your creativity?
I listen to music from other producers, watch movies, and meet other people.
8 — What's your one piece of golden advice to new producers?
Set targets for yourself and consistently strive for the goal. You need to put in a lot of hours to reap the rewards.
Behind The Scenes Of Withus' 'Up Down' EP — Interview
Since forming in 2018 they have quickly gained the attention of the industry with their original productions getting signed to some of the hottest labels around and bringing their signature sounds to clubs and festivals all over Germany. Withus never fails to thrill the crowd with an energetic grooving mix of House and Tech House. Their recent EP 'Up Down' has been a raging success across the electronic music scene so we caught up with the boys to discuss their Motive Records release.
1 — What was the concept behind the EP?
After releasing 'Got Me', which we created with a lot of Ibiza vibes in mind and our Tech House groover 'Diamonds' with its Hip-Hop samples on Heulsuse, we wanted to make some classically inspired House again.
Alex found this vocal hook deep down in his folders and we put dozens of FX on it and played around with it for a solid three hours. The second track "Someone" started out with that piano progression. We built a matching bass line and put some very classic House vocals on it.
2 — Which is your favourite track on the EP and why?
Really tough question right there. Every track got its own unique spin to it. It depends on the situation and mood. "Up Down" surely has more of a clubby dance vibe to it, "Someone" is more for the chilled-out party at the beach, when the sun sets and you put more and more booze into the drinks!
3 — What is your creative process like when working together?
It usually starts out with an idea one of us has picked up at some point in the studio individually. Then we both sit down and talk about which direction the track should head. Everybody comes up with different elements, ideas, vocals. There is no certain procedure. Every song comes to life in a different manner.
4 — How would you best describe the 'Up Down' EP in 3 words?
Catchy, groovy and uplifting.
5 — What do you love about each track?
"Up Down" is exactly what you want to hear at 1 am in the club with its chunky bass-heavy groove and its super catchy vocal hook. "Someone" is the perfect accomplishment with a deeper vibe, it's jacking percussion, thumping bass and classic house vocal samples.
6 — Tell us how the reaction to the EP has been?
We've got a ton of great feedback. It was really surprising. We knew we made some solid stuff, but we didn't expect that much appreciation. Seeing the EP climbing higher and higher in the charts and finally peaking at #27 on Traxsource House was stunning.
7 — Which part of the track do you usually start with?
Like we said, there's no certain way. Every track comes to life in its own inimitable way. Sometimes we start with kick and bassline, sometimes with a vocal snippet or hook, sometimes with a melody we have in mind or with a percussion groove.
8 — What was it like working with Motive Records?
At that time there was this massive release 'Give Me Love' we pumped at our gigs on and off, on Motive Records. So, we sent them our demo. Within a few hours, they replied on Instagram with our songs on blast in the studio and a few days later we signed the contract!
The guys from Australia did a great job and really pushed the release. All the lovely people there are kind-hearted, down to earth and you immediately recognize there's nothing more important to them than music. We want to take this opportunity to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts once again.
9 — Where can people download their copy?
Download your copy of 'Up Down' on every store or stream it on every service out there. You can click this link to go to your preferred store/streaming service: https://smarturl.it/withusupdown
10 — What's next for Withus?
We don't want to say too much about the next big thing at this point, but we're currently working with some great artists and material and we're non-stop in the studio. Right now, we're in talks with some really nice labels, so see what surprises are coming in the future. Stay tuned!

Impacts of a Groundwater Scheme on Hydroclimatological Conditions over Southern South America

AbstractA sensitivity study of the impact of a groundwater scheme on hydrometeorological variables in coupled land atmosphere simulations over southern South America is presented. It is found that shallow water tables in the groundwater scheme lead to reduced drainage and even upward capillary fluxes over parts of the central and southern La Plata basin. This leads to an increase in the simulated moisture in the root zone, which in turn produces an increase in evapotranspiration (ET) over the southern part of the domain, where ET is water limited. There is also a decrease in the near-surface temperature, in the range 0.5-1.0 degrees C. During the dry season, the increases in ET and relative humidity over the central La Plata coincide with an increase in precipitation downstream. Including groundwater leads to an increase in precipitation over parts of the central and southern La Plata basin during the early rainy season (October December). The overall increase in ET and precipitation over the southern La Plata basin during the early rainy season is 13% and 10%, respectively. The additional precipitation comes from both an increase in the availability of atmospheric moisture when the groundwater scheme is used and its effect on the atmospheric instability. In the La Plata basin, including a representation of groundwater increases simulated precipitation and partially alleviates a warm and dry bias present in simulations without realistic subsurface hydrology.

BX 201 03 | Exegetical Practicum: Prophet, Profit & Parable
Professor: Aliou Niang
This course teaches essential skills of exegeting biblical texts in a practice-oriented way. Both testaments and different genres are covered. While current theories of interpretation and the broad range of exegetical methods are briefly outlined, the focus is on the practical work of reading, analyzing, and understanding texts both on the literary level as well as in their socio-historic contexts. Each section contains a unique topic reflected in the title, such as: Critical Text Analysis; Hagar between Genesis and Galatians; Prophet, Profit and Parable.
CH 109 01 | History of Christianity since Reformation
Professor: Daisy Machado '81
The main outlines of the history of Christianity from seventeenth-century Puritanism to the ecumenical movement, with emphasis on the experiences of U.S. churches in their immense diversity.
PR/ST 450 01 | Phenomenology of the Body
Professor: Andrea White
This course takes on the so-called body problem in philosophical and theological discourse with special attention given to disability studies. The study covers such themes as the erotic, materiality, flesh, power and representation, race and gender in works by a range of thinkers in disability studies, French phenomenology, feminist, black, womanist theologies, and postcolonial traditions. Thinkers studied include Julia Watts Belser, Elizabeth Barnes, Michel Henry, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jean-Luc Marion, Judith Butler, M. Shawn Copeland, Catherine Keller, Audre Lorde, Anthony Pinn and Mayra Rivera.
CW 301 01 | Extractivism: A Ritual/Liturgical Response
Professor: Cláudio Carvalhaes '07
The earth must be the ground zero of our thinking and practice. In this course, we learn about the ways our world is organized around a capitalistic system called extractivism. Extractivism is the ongoing work of coloniality, the ripping off of all natural and human resources, exterminating life on earth. This system organizes the political, theological, economic and emotional resources of the anthropocene. We also learn how to respond to this way of being by creating rituals and liturgies based on readings, discussions and site visits.
PT 202 01 | Discernment of Call
Professor: Kelly Brown Douglas '82, '88 & Susan Hill
What does it mean to be called? What is the difference between a ministerial call and other vocational calls? How does one discern one's call? This seminar is designed to explore the theological and spiritual meanings and practical implications of ministerial calls. Special attention is given to understanding the significance of a "call" within the Anglican Communion. Critical engagement with call narratives, a development of a vocational statement, and engagement with practitioners in diverse ministerial vocations provide the foundation for appreciating the complex dynamics of a call.
OT 370E 01 | Genesis
Professor: David Carr
While attention is given to the broader book of Genesis, this hybrid course focuses particularly on the Primeval History: stories of creation, eating of the fruit of wisdom, brotherly murder, flood, drunkenness and more in Genesis 1-11. Additionally, some particular focus is on diverse readings of these chapters from ecocritical, post-humanist, feminist, LGBTQ and more perspectives. A mix of online and in-person teaching strategies are used.
ST 374 01 | Womanist Theology and Black Theology
Professor: Andrea White
This course provides an introduction to womanist theology through a study of three decades of scholarship produced by womanist theologians in the United States and placed in conversation with black theology. The course addresses a range of topics, including womanist biblical hermeneutics, Christology, pneumatology, soteriology, theological anthropology, theologies of embodiment, evil, sin and suffering, and eschatology. Womanist theologians (e.g., Delores Williams, Kelly Brown Douglas, M. Shawn Copeland) and scholars of black theology (e.g., James Cone, Willie James Jennings, and J. Kameron Carter) are interlocutors in genealogies of race, ontologies and physics of blackness, the cross and redemption, and black women's literary tradition.
CH 307 01 | Eugenics, Race, Gender and Nation: A Brief History
Professor: Daisy Machado '81
The word "eugenics," first used in the 1880s means "well born" and was used to develop a great variety of pedigree studies aimed at improving "the breed of man." In the United States, eugenics represented a way to respond to the diversity, racial and ethnic that was becoming a great concern to those who held power in the nation. This course examines the development of the eugenics movement in the U.S. focusing on three key issues: impact on laws created to govern "racial purity", issues of citizenship and national identity, and how it became an international movement.
NT 330X 01 | The Book of Acts
Professor: Aliou Niang
This seminar studies the Act of the Apostles through a postcolonial biblical critical lens focusing on selected speeches. Themes and issues for exploration include contested divinities, images, spaces, faiths, missions, ethnicities, identities, politics, economies, and the role of empire in the making. The course cultivates understanding of the rhetoric of speeches and the stasis they engender as integral dimensions of identity and community construction.
IE/STX 342 01 | Zen Buddhist Texts
Professor: Gregory Snyder
This course explores the religious thought and practices of the Buddhist tradition that has come to be popularly known as Zen. Starting with its inception as Chinese Chan, students directly engage formative texts that situate Zen in its broader Mahayana context and go on to hermeneutically wrestle with the rich, unruly and at times opaque array of teachers, poems, koans and religious essays, which make up a tradition that understands itself to be "a special transmission outside the scriptures." All readings are in English translation.
IE 221 01 | Introduction to Buddhist Meditation Practices
Professor: Gregory Snyder & Peace Twesigye
This course supports students of any faith tradition, or none at all, in learning the fundamentals of Buddhist meditation. While students only touch each of these practices, they learn the basics of concentration, ethical, wisdom and compassion meditations. The course is aimed at preparing chaplains and ministers for thinking about these techniques in their own lives and in their community support roles. The hope is students take up and deepen practices appropriate to their lives and circumstances.
Explore Campus
Built in 1910, our seminary sits in the heart of Morningside Heights. The tour will introduce visitors to the English Gothic Architecture, the enchanting inner quadrangle garden- the largest in New York

Welcome to my blog! My name is Douglas Bernanke. I have always wanted to start a business and have had the finances and knowledge to do so. But something has always occurred in my life that has interfered, whether it be my sick mom or a brother who desperately needed help getting back on his feet. But I have kept the entrepreneurial flames burning and have continued to research and prepare for the day when I will finally take the plunge and start my business. If you are like me and want to be highly prepared and informed before jumping into the world of business, this is the blog for you!

If you have a busy life with your job, kids, etc., it can be difficult have time to properly clean your home. Not having a clean home is not only unsanitary but also likely makes you feel inadequate. Fortunately, you can hire a domestic housekeeper and always have a clean home. Below are some tips on hiring a housekeeper so you will feel comfortable bringing a stranger into your home.
Find a Domestic Housekeeper
There are many websites that offer finding a housekeeper for you. These sites do their own background checks, credit checks, and check past references. This will ensure you hire someone that you can trust. Use several services to help you find someone that will fit well with your family.
You need to consider what you can offer to pay. Make sure what you offer is competitive and fair wage and you will have no problem finding someone. Paying a good wage can also prevent a high turnover.
When you sign up with an online staffing agency like Coastal Estate Staffing, you will need to list all the job duties you expect of this person. Once you have a list of what you want to compare that to the experience the housekeepers have until you find one that is the right match. Be specific in what you expect of them so they will not be surprised if you ask them to do something. For example, you may want them to cook dinner for you and your family along with cleaning your home.
Give Them a Trial Period
Once you find someone that you want to hire, walk the housekeeper through your home room by room and tell them what you expect in each room. Observe them as they work throughout your home and make sure everything is clean when they finish. You do not want them to cut corners, such as vacuuming around things instead of under things. It can be helpful to give the person a list of duties you want them to do. The housekeeper may be nervous at first so do not expect them to do the job perfectly in the beginning.
If you hire someone through a staffing agency, they can provide you with another housekeeper if the housekeeper does not work well for you.
If you have children in the home, make sure the housekeeper interacts with them well, as they will likely be around them a lot.
These two tips will help you get started finding the perfect housekeeper for your home.Share

There is nothing like a bright and cheery gnome in a garden…and this little guy will be no exception. Using DecoArt Patio Paint, this little guy will be able to endure the weather that will be coming this spring and summer, and is sure to brighten his little place in the garden. I painted him for a friend of mine who just moved into a house and will have her own garden this season…I think he is going to be a great fit!
Here is what you will need:
Gnome with Mushroom
DecoArt Patio Paint:
Vintage Rose
Grey Skies
Coral Sunset
Cloud White
Deep Waterfall Blue
Wrought Iron Black
Natural Tan Grout
Geranium Red
Tuscan Red
Pine Green
Coastal Surf
Pinecone Brown
Splendid Gold
Clear Coat
Additional Supplies:
Papillon 10 Piece Resin Brush Set
Papillon Filbert Comb size 1/2″
Triple Thick Gloss Glaze Spray
First, paint the entire gnome with Clear Coat and let dry. Once dry, I like to to start with the face, it brings character to the piece very quickly. Paint the Face, ears,mouth, and hands with Vintage Rose. Shade under the hat, along the hairline, cheeks, under the nose, center of nose, mouth, ears next to the hair, hands along where the jacket touches, and down the grooves of the fingers with Coral Sunset. Also, add some light shading in the grooves of the eyes, paint the tongue, and deepen the cheeks with Coral Sunset as well. Paint the eyes Cloud White, irises are Deep Waterfall Blue, pupils are Wrought Iron Black. Add a highlight dot to each eye with Cloud White. Paint the eyebrows, mustache, beard, and hair with Grey Skies. When dry, use your Filbert Comb and Cloud White to stroke in some white highlights here and there in the eyebrows, mustache, beard and hair.
Now it is time to add color to the rest of him. The hat is Geranium Red and highlighted with Fuchsia. The coat is Deep Waterfall Blue highlighted with a Coastal Surf. Belt is Wrought Iron Black. Pants are Pint Green and highlighted with a brush mix of Pine Green and Cloud White. Shoes are Pinecone Brown (don't worry about getting full coverage, as any strokes and such will make the shoes look old and worn) Souls and belts on the shoes are Wrought Iron Black. All buckles, and brads on the shoes, coat, belt, and hat are Splendid Gold.
The mushroom cap is painted with Tuscan Red and highlighted with Fuchsia, dip dots are Cloud White. Base of the mushroom are Natural Tan Grout. Bird is Coastal Blue with highlights here and there with Cloud White, and a little shading with Deep Waterfall Blue. Beak is Marigold. Eyes are Cloud White with a dip dot of Wrought Iron Black. Let dry.
Last but not least, add a coat of Clear Coat to your gnome and let him dry. Finish with a final coat of Triple Thick Gloss Glaze Spray, this is just for a little extra protection.
I hope you enjoy painting a little gnome for your garden.
Happy Painting!

Wow, has it been a month already? "It's hard?" you hear me say? "It's supposed to be hard?" you hear me respond to myself? Right, well, yes, that's been my latest internal dialog…on repeat. But why is it hard, really? To make those first steps, to commit to something you're unsure about – fear of abject disappointment and/or embarrassment for failing yet again?
Listening to others around me I think it's really a form of apathy. Yes, of course, we all want things to change, but to make them change we have to change, and honestly it takes effort to overcome the inertia of familiarity – of staying how we are, where we are, and what we know of ourselves, and actually of those around us because in truth when we change those around us are forced to adapt in one way or another as well. They can either hang around and hang on, or be left by the wayside.
There aren't that many things I want – I want to be a good example to my children, a good wife to my husband, and be of service to others; I want to spend time with my family, I want to write a book. travel and maybe even take an acting class or two. But in the end (after attending literally a dozen funerals in less than a year) I realize I want my family to know NOW that I love them, and to remember that love when I'm gone. And this takes me back to the beginning…how am I going to get what I want without taking a step?
What do you want and what first step do you need to take to get start you off in the right direction. And if you've taken that step then congratulations! You're further than most others who are still only dreaming.
Now, what's the next step? 🙂

All-natural crib mattress
What is a natural crib mattress?
When you start looking for a new crib mattress, the choice is overwhelming. First of all, you can choose between innerspring or foam crib mattresses, single or dual-sided mattresses … then there are different sizes, firmnesses, etc. And last but not least, there are so many tags, from Eco-friendly, all-natural, organic, green, etc.
So, what is a natural crib mattress? Like any other baby crib mattress on the market, all-natural crib mattresses must meet certain safety standards set by the government! Therefore, natural crib mattresses are a safe choice for your baby. But the term "natural" or "all-natural" alone, doesn't tell you precisely what you are buying.
A natural crib mattress can be made of 100% natural, 99% natural, or even only 1% natural materials. If the label doesn't state what the certain crib mattress contains, that should raise concerns. There is a chance the seller wants to take advantage of the selling potential of natural products.
Organic vs. all-natural baby crib mattress
FTC (US Federal Trade Commission) doesn't define "natural" or "all-natural" terms for crib mattresses, so there is no weight behind them. A safe, natural crib mattress must have a label with a clear explanation of what it contains. Otherwise, there is a possibility the manufacturer just trying to make us think that a crib mattress is purer and environmentally friendlier than it is.
But if you want a 100% organic crib mattress, the term "all-natural" could mislead you thinking you are getting all-organic crib mattress. Natural mattresses are made from a blend of organic and conventional, otherwise safe, non-organic material.
There are only a few baby crib mattresses on the market that are certified 100% organic. They cost much more than regular crib mattresses and must be backed up with organic certifications GOTS or GOLS. Example of a very good organic crib mattresses are innerspring and foam crib mattresses by Naturepedic.
I will explain more about organic crib mattresses and their certifications below.
What is a natural crib mattress?
Facts about natural crib mattresses:
- Natural crib mattresses are available in both sizes. Choose between mini or standard full-size crib mattress depends on the size of your crib.
- All-natural crib mattresses come with innerspring or foam core.
- You can choose between one or dual-sided natural crib mattresses. One-sided crib mattress has the same firmness on both sides. A dual-sided crib mattress has two sides of different firmness, one for infants and one for toddlers.
- A natural crib mattress can be everything you want, but it doesn't have to be 100% organic! It might have only an organic cottoned pad, etc.
- You have to check up from what material a particular model is made of, not only rely on the "natural" or "all-natural" term!
- There are a lot of really good natural crib mattresses on the market!
- A good natural crib mattress costs more than regular crib mattresses, and less than 100% organic crib mattresses.

We had reviewed all of them. If you want to know more about the best natural crib mattresses on our list, you can click on the links below.
Top 3 natural baby crib mattresses:
- Kolcraft Pure Sleep Therapeutic 150 toddler and baby crib mattress
- Colgate Eco Classica III crib mattress
- Babyletto Pure Core crib mattress
Organic crib mattress
Instead of conventional materials used in majority crib mattresses, organic crib mattresses are made of 100% organic and non-toxic materials.
A 100% all-organic crib mattress must have one of the following certifications!
- GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard)
- GOLS (Global Organic Latex Standard)
Without these third-party certifications, is hard to know how "organic" a crib mattress really is.
Does GOTS or GOLS certification reassure me, I am getting a 100% organic crib mattress?
Yes, but only if the whole mattress is certified! Crib mattress's label might have a GOTS logo that only applies to the one component of the crib mattress. Lots of crib mattresses have an organic cottoned cover that is GOTS certified, while the mattress's core is made of conventional materials.
If you want a 100% organic crib mattress, read carefully if the entire crib mattress, not only a specific part, is GOTS or GOLS certified!
Other terms used for natural crib mattresses
While searching for a suitable crib mattress, you will come across many different terms that are often confusing. Here is the list of commonly used phrases in the crib mattress industry.
- Eco-friendly crib mattress
- Eco-foam
- green mattress
- green foam
- non-toxic
- soybean or plant-derivated foam
- soy foam
- bamboo fabric
All terms above can mean what you expected, but you have to remember that they are not regulated with relevant standards. That is why you shouldn't rely on the crib mattress's name alone!
Things worth remembering:
- Eco and green materials sound excellent and healthy, but it is not necessarily they are all-natural, without harmful chemicals.
- Green foam, soy foam, soy-based foam, plant-derivated foam, etc. are polyurethane foam made with added plant oil.
- Those mattresses are safe for your child, and they must meet all required safety standards!
- They are made of safe and certified materials, but they are probably not 100% organic.
- If it is not 100% organic, it's very good if your selected natural crib mattress has one or more of following certifications:
- CertiPur-US certification: If the mattress is CertiPur-US certified, it is made of polyurethane foam. Such foam is safe for your child and doesn't pollute your indoor air.
- GREENGUARD Certification: GREENGUARD certification reassures the foam and other parts of crib mattress doesn't pollute your indoor air.
- The mattress should meet all applicable federal flammability standards.
Is a natural or all-natural crib mattress the right choice for you?
Depends on what you are looking for. It could be everything you want, it can be little less "organic" that you've expected, or in the worst-case scenario, it could be only a marketing gimmick.
Read carefully what a particular crib mattress contains and make sure it's the right choice for your baby! We have already reviewed many natural crib mattresses. You can find links to the best ones below!
Top 3 natural baby crib mattresses:
- Kolcraft Pure Sleep Therapeutic 150 toddler and baby crib mattress
- Colgate Eco Classica III crib mattress
- Babyletto Pure Core crib mattress
If you want a 100% organic crib mattress, the all-natural crib mattress is probably not the right choice for you. While they are made only from safe materials, in most cases natural crib mattresses are not completely organic.
Here is the best all-organic crib mattress, but unfortunately, you will have to spend more money on it: Naturepedic breathable organic crib mattress.
Another great crib mattress is Newton crib mattress, which is made of unique Wovenaire material. I think it is worth of your attention because it is indeed special and different from any other baby crib mattress on the market.

We are consistently confronted with opportunities and challenges on a regular basis that leads to two contrasting reactions from our side. Either you are satisfied instantly or you end up delaying it. But along with the delay, comes a more fruitful outcome. Unluckily, we have been brainwashed to thrive in the moment. Many companies who have become successfully overnight tend to follow a predictable pattern. In the first few years, they are deemed bigshot, in the next several years, they are sold away for a lump sum amount of money.
Overnight success is truly a myth
The fact that was overlooked was that in those years those companies spent were in relative obscurity, erred, failed and lost money. Nowadays, hard work stories don't tend to sell as well as the overnight success ones, so when an artistic license is used, the story is narrated with extravagance. Gone are the days when hard work was more appreciated.
So, always keep in mind that the fortune is held safely hidden in the follow ups
Nonetheless, you should never forget the fact about following up with the customer who invested his time in submitting an enquiry on your website or the customer who left your showroom without buying anything. Those delayed sales sessions are your lottery as they can make your mouth or even a year probably the best one ever. Have a look at your auto dealership software, the CRM mainly. You need to get it optimized for the long run. Ensure that right people are following up to get a co-signer on a car loan. Ensure that someone is always keeping the location known when you don't have a vehicle on the lot. Ensure that you are always calling the customer back to have a look at another vehicle in the showroom. And, always rehash the terms of the customer loan with the bank.
Play the long game of CRM
There is a need to hold your staff accountable for all these processes. When your auto dealership CRM is installed and working every day, you will always unleash those extra sales and referrals. Always picture the impact of a 10 percent increase in sales on your profit, commission check and morale of the sales team. Now double that figure to 20 percent! Never let a long term deal walk away because you don't want to be concerned about the hassles of closing it. When your team is developing, define your long game, and never give up.

"From a law enforcement perspective, we are happy to have a new, temporary weapons amnesty underway," Detective Peter Thorsell of the legal division of the National Police Board (Rikspolisstyrelsen) said in a statement.

"Reducing illegal weapons possession is a very important measure for reducing gun violence."

According to the terms of the amnesty, which lasts from March 1st through May 31st, 2013, anyone can turn in a firearm or ammunition without the risk of being charged with illegal weapons possession.

To avoid prosecution, people must turn the weapons in voluntarily and police have agreed not to ask any questions or make inquiries as to the origins of the weapons.

The goal of the programme is to reduce the number of illegal weapons on Sweden's streets.

"Compared with licenced weapons, there is a much higher risk that illegal weapons will be misused or fall into the wrong hands," said Thorsell.

"These are firearms that are often stored improperly, tucked away or hidden in attics or sheds."

Police also hope the amnesty will prompt people with modified or homemade firearms to turn them in.

The last time Sweden carried out a weapons amnesty was in 2007, at which time roughly 13,000 firearms were turned in to police.

Following the amnesty, the weapons and ammunition collected by police will be destroyed.

James Allen Workman 1948 - 1989
Most of his life was filled with pain due to his illness. He was a good father and a loving man. He taught me many things and I am thankful for having him for the first 19 years of my life and now, I am thankful for the GOOD memories that he left with me.
He died in 1989. . .A year after receiving his transplanted heart his body continued to reject the new tissue and he passed away. The first few years were very difficult for me to get through. I grieved so hard and I felt so much guilt. . .Wishing that I'd done more for him while he was still living. . .Kicking myself for missed opportunities of spending time with him. I had to let him go for awhile in order to get past the grief. For years, I wouldn't allow myself to think of him much. When I did, I'd push his memory away. Now, his memory is back in the front of my mind again and the grief is as nearly as fresh as if he'd only been gone for a little while. I wish I had the strength to deal with losing him when I was younger so that I wouldn't have to revisit it again. Or, maybe what I am going through is normal. Maybe you never really get over losing a loved one.
The first picture is of my dad at age 12. . . He's the guy on the left in the next pic, my uncle is on the right. We were vacationing in Nags Head NC, which was my father's favorite place in the world. I'm the little girl in the background that didn't notice the camera. Looks like I just suffered a wipeout on my raft or something. I remember that day . .. It was a very good one.
The 3rd pic is of my dad at my Grandmother's house. It was taken years before he became so ill. He used to be a coach. . .He loved the children as much as he loved sports.
The last pic is my father in his last year of life. Obviously he is very ill in this one. My daughter Ashley is the baby that he is holding. I am so thrilled that two could meet before his passing.
Happy Father's Day Daddy. . .I miss you.

Hi Lydia, it's Antonia.
Somehow I ended up on your blog and read this. How very sad. I wanted to tell you something. My father (who had me in his 60s) passed away with Alzheimer's. He never knew who I was so I pretended to be my older sister. When he died, I was living in Canada and never really grieved. When we cry and rant and rage over a loss, or exult over a love, the brain makes new pathways. The more those pathways are used, the less impact the emotion that causes them has on us. This explains the dampening of passion, and the lessening of pain associated with loss. So, when we don't grieve, the brain just experiences each thought or remembrance as another wound and it never "heals." It's good that this happened or is happening for you later on as it really is a chance to heal. It happened to me about ten years ago. (Dad died a long, long time ago.) I never really knew my dad and I'm always wishing I could have walked on a beach with him and really talked. The pain left with all those tears and rants and raves, but I still miss what might have been.
Perhaps your father speaks to you through your amazing talent. "Something" is directing it from above as your beads are truly out of this world! Anti-Aging Guru is my alter-ego by the way. LOL!

Thank you Tonia for taking the time to write these thoughts down to share with me. The fact that you didn't get to spend time with your father is a reminder to me of how lucky I was to have so much time with my father while he was alive. I wish you had had the same oppurtunity as I. I know that I will see my dad again. I am sure that he watches over my sister, myself and our children.
Although your father wasn't a part of your life, I would be willing to bet that he watches over you now that he's passed. Even if that statement is nothing more than "wishful thinking", it sure feels good to believe it, don't you think?
Anti aging guru? Ah. . .I love it!!! What a great mindset you have. I too am trying to defy the hands of time but after yesterday's 3 mile run, I feel dreadfully ANCIENT!!

Insert 7
I long finished eating and it was getting darker Lungile hasn't been back. I stood and prayed "God let this be your way of showing me that you will never abandon me nor forsakeme God you made a promise to stay true to me as long as I stay true to you. Right now I need you to lift me up I am out of strength and I need you to carry me through this darkness Amen"
I went to the door and closed my eyes as I was getting hold of the door handle I inhaled and twisted the handle.
Me: Almighty be praised! I worship you Lord! Thank you Jesus you are so powerful. I knew you will never leave me this long
The joy I had just for being able to see outside I've been locked up in this place for far too long that I have forgotten how nature smells like. I wasn't so worried on being caught by my twin it's was like someone else has taken over my entire body and mind. I was imagining myself out of this misery. I was wearing a jean that he swapped with me when he held me hostage and took my clothes I never change after that I had a very dirty t-shirt on and no shoes so I will have to walk bare footed. I opened the door wider and stepped outside it would have been difficult to escape during midday as this place is so far from the street and people. As the darkness has taken over it was much easier to point the right direction I could see the lights so I went straight to that direction. I hope I find help before my brother catches me.
Trudy has been sleeping for far too long now I took the boys to shower and prepared dinner dinner is now ready I need to wake her up. I instructed the boys to watch TV in the lounge as dinner will be served soon they are very disciplined kids they take instructions as they are. I went to the master bedroom to wake Trudy.
She was sleeping so peacefully holding one of my big Teddy bears. I stood there watching her for approximately 15minutes she then tossed...
Me: Wakey wakey Mommy
Her: Hey it's rude to stare
She said in a sleepy voice
Me: Sorry I can't help it God made you with patience
Her: What time is it?
Me: 18:30
She sat up straight
Her: Ohh damn I need to be home so I can prepare for school tomorrow
Me: I can go with you to fetch whatever you gonna need you don't need to be alone in this state
Her: No we have invaded your privacy far enough
Me: Don't say that I have learned new things from you and the boys
She chuckled
Her: Like?
I sat on the bed next to her giving her enough space to be comfortable with that
Me: Like being a family man I never thought of it until my friend tried to hook me up with his wife
Okay that suddenly changed her mood
Me: I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that
Her: No it's okay at least you're being honest
Me: Dinner is ready come we will be waiting for you
I stood up and headed to the door before I walk out she said something
Her: I'm catching feelings for you Mr Mawawa
I stood there with my back facing her it was like someone just cursed me with a freezing spell I wanted to turn and respond to her but I couldn't I just stood there like a statue. I felt her wrapping her arm around my waist...
Her: I may be hurt and confused but it feels so right to be around you
I turned to face her
Me: I... We...can...can I be excused? I need the bathroom
Her: I never thought you would pee on your pants because of me
She laughed passed me and went down the cloister. She started singing unbreakable by westlife
Her: took my hand...touched my heart...held me close...you were always there...by my side..night and day...through it all...maybe come what may...swept away on a wave of emotion...
Her voice is so angelic that I was soo lost in all of this my house is so big that you can't hear someone from the down stairs I believe she was still sing all the time I was standing there I went to the bathroom and looked myself in the mirror am I really in this awkward situation. There was a time where I would jump for this opportunity but right now Trudy knows my intensions and still wanna know me better why? I washed my face and went to them.
When I was with Lunga I received a call from my Dad saying that there are rumours that Lungile might be arrested for smuggling drugs in California. My Dad has his way of making matters sound hectic yes I was suspected but there are no leads coming my way one of the journalist there is just trying their luck on me. I know you are confused I've been living both my life and my brother's life. I'm uneducated so I can't do his job so I smuggle drugs and pretend to have contracts overseas. I was with my Dad and I made sure mom is not there she knows her twins so she will tell by the time I walk in that I'm Lungile.
Dad: It didn't take you long to come
Me: I was in the country
Dad: And you don't even come to greet your parents... You turning to be like your brother
Me: Sorry Dad just that I've been busy lately it's not easy to be a family man
Dad: I see your mom is dying to see you she went to a stokvel and she might be home anytime
Me: unfortunately I'm not staying I need to go and look for Lungile. I promise to come tomorrow.
Dad: Kulungile Ndodana it was good to see you
We shook hands and I left. I was best feeling experiencing love from my Dad I've been longing for it. I made sure my mother's driver delays the arrival of her until I leave home. I then texted him to get her home safe I sent a message and flip! I remembered I didn't lock the abandoned house! Damn this bitch must have escaped by now! I'm in deep shit!

What's the best way to book a ski chalet in Zermatt? Well, the excitement for your ski holiday starts the moment you book your accommodation. Before that you need to work out who's coming with you, whether you want a catered chalet and which resort you want to go to.
We can save you the decision-making on the resort…as it has to be Zermatt. With over 300km of piste, an excellent snow record and one of the most charming alpine towns in the world. We cover all the key questions including:
1. How many people are coming with you?
2. Pick your luxury extras
3. Pick your practical extras
4. Choose your chalet location
5. Ask for expert advice
6. Book your ski chalet
How to book a ski chalet in Zermatt
We also know that arranging a ski holiday has its challenges, which is why we have put together this handy guide on finding the right Zermatt ski chalet for you.
1. How many people are coming with you?
Your starting point when booking a ski chalet is to decide who's coming. Once you've pinned down your friends and family to commit to a date then you've done the hard part.
The next stage is to choose a chalet based on how many there are in your group.
For smaller groups holidaying in Zermatt, you could choose Chalet Banja, which is perfect for a group of six or less. Larger groups should be looking at Chalet Ulysse as it has enough beds to sleep up to 12 guests.
If you have more than twelve in your party, then friends then consider booking both Chalet Banja and its neighbouring sister Chalet Binna which will give you enough space and beds for up to 17 people.
2. Pick your luxury extras (e.g. swimming pool, hot tub)
One of the best bits about choosing a ski chalet is looking forward to enjoying those luxury extras that your chalet comes with that you rarely get to enjoy at home.
Zermatt is synonymous with fine living and your chalet shouldn't disappoint. If you want a swimming pool to take a dip in before or after your ski then pick a property like Chalet Banja.
Or do you want to spend your non-ski time relaxing in a hot tub or unwinding in a sauna? Chalet Binna has a great hot tub, but for pure luxury the Backstage Chalet could be the one for you.
3. Pick your practical extras (e.g. Wi-Fi, boot heaters, accessibility)
Do you need Wi-Fi for work or to make your friends jealous on social media while staying in your luxury chalet in Zermatt? All of our chalets have excellent internet connections. You might find this blog post interesting – The Most Instagrammable Locations in Zermatt
Having cold feet before you start the ski day isn't very nice. So it makes sense that you would want a boot warmer in your ski chalet – and the good news is that all of our chalets have heated boot rooms with ski boot warmers.
Maybe you have someone in your group with limited mobility and you have found the past that the chalet you booked was hard to access. In that case, you should be looking at Chalet Banja, which was built with this important need in mind.
Find out more about accessibility in our chalets here.
4. Choose your chalet location
As Kirsty and Phil will tell you, it's all about 'Location, Location, Location'. By choosing Zermatt, you've already nailed the first two 'locations': Switzerland and Zermatt.
But where in Zermatt should you stay?
Sunegga, Gornergrat and the Matterhorn Paradise ski areas all depart from different areas in town, but the excellent bus service means that it's easy to get to each of them. The service is extremely reliable and sticks to its timetable in all weather.
That means that rather than being close to one particular lift, you really want to be close to a bus stop. In this respect you can't do any better than Chalet Ulysse.
The bus stop is right outside the chalet and you can literally leave the chalet one minute before the bus is scheduled to leave and step right on to it. You'll be at the Matterhorn Paradise lifts within 2 minutes, Sunegga with 5-10 and Gornergrat in around 10 minutes.
Chalets Binna and Banja are very close as well, less 2-4 minutes from the bus stop in Winkelmatten, depending how fast you walk in ski boots!
5. Ask for expert advice
Fancy a chat about your Zermatt trip? You can always give one of our knowledgeable team a call on +41 79 247 15 88 or contact us via our website.
We help answer all your questions from how far it is to nearest bar, how to book a massage or guide and where the best restaurants are to eat. In fact, we offer a full concierge service from start to finish to help you with every aspect of your Zermatt ski holiday.
6. Book your ski chalet
To start your booking all you need to do is fill out a contact form and we will call you back at a convenient time or email you back.
Once you have chosen your perfect Zermatt ski chalet you can put a deposit down and then the final balance is due 8 weeks before your holiday.
All that is left for you to do now is enjoy your trip!

I started taking the urban railway to work recently because luckily a depot near my home was added to the route. It's a brisk 20 minute walk from the rail station to work and vice versa and my rump is in dire need of the rewards of walking.
The morning crowd consists of the usual silent, sleepy-eyed commuters that use mass transportation vehicles all over the world. Confusingly, however, the afternoon train is stocked with a lot of tourists. French ones. Loud, clamorous ones. The train's final destination is Corinth so I'm guessing either they're doing a little Isthmus sightseeing or they're secretly colonizing.
The first time I traveled with the Frenchies I thought them quaint, that they added a bit of old-continent panache on the hum-drum ride home. But, hey, fellas, pipe down, s'il vous plait! Can't you see that most of us are trying to read our books, mellow out with our MP3 players, catch a few zees? Yeah, we're glad you like Greece too; glad you're on vacation while we're not, but keep it down. There's no need to shout from one end of the vehicle cabin to the other where vos amis are seated.
Aside from their loudness I don't mind a bit. Au contraire, one particular French fellow gave me something to blog about:
The other day a couple of pretty young greek lasses made a mad dash into the train that was about to leave. They were very pretty and all male stares followed them. They plopped themselves in the only available seats next to me and between catching their breaths and fanning themselves, they loudly chattered how lucky they were they found what-not on sale in their favorite color and who was dating who.
From the corner of my eye, I realized that one French tourist was about to prowl. He said something in French to his friends and proceeded to "make his move". He was sitting across the aisle from me and had to "go through me" to get to the girls. Indifferently, I kept reading my book as he hovered above me, a whiff of booze on his breath and raised a map in his hand.
- Excusez moi. Do you speak english, peut etre?
- Yes, we all answered.
He ignored me by focusing his eyes on the young ladies. Getting directions was his way of breaking the ice with them. I chuckled at his cliched come-on and tried to maneuver myself in such a way that his drool wouldn't slide on my book while he was making a play for the girls. The tipsy French man was turning on the "charm", while his French friends goggled at his feeble attempt to ooh-la-la them.
-Zis iz ze train for Corinth, n'est pas?
-Yes, said one girl.
-Yes, I echoed annoyingly in his ears.
-You show me, [French gibberish] pleez, pointing to his map.
-I'm sorry, could you repeat that? asked the girl, unsure of his request.
He stumbled around trying to build some form of sentence, with badly accented english words, a lot of french and even threw in a greek hello and thank you. The guy was embarrassing himself pretty bad and I wanted to slap him silly: Shut up already!
Finally he had a brainstorm...
-Parlez vous francais? he asked in an exasperated voice, having used up all his unintelligible English vocabulary.
-No, sorry, replied the girl, shrugging her shoulders.
-Mais OUI! I answered boisterously; glad that I could annoy him some more because his armpit was now directly over my head, seeing as he had glided his arm towards the girl's side. (Ah, yes, ze French invented parfums and now, we all know why).
The girl kept asking him in English what he wanted; he pointed to some dots on the map, pointed to the girl, babbled in French and realized that this wasn't getting him anywhere and furthermore... Mon Dieu! There iz a pesky, middle-aged, plump female unintentionally (?) jabbing him wiz her book. He surrendered, sat back down and finally looked at me with a disappointed frown.
"C'est la vie, n'est pas?" I smiled at him and went back to reading.
His friends laughed. He didn't.
- Flubberwinkle
- Athens, Greece
- Half of the day they call me "Athena" where I get paid to dabble with computers. The other half of the day I'm called "Mom", but I also have an online secret identity. I am bilingual, so what might look like Greek to you, probably is. I blog because it's cheaper than therapy and I like to make people laugh.
