The River North neighborhood is renowned for its dense concentration of art galleries and design studios. Towering over them is a new apartment high-rise, The Gallery on Wells, which also is a showcase of artistic talent.
Throughout the building are numerous works of art, photography and sculpture. A library of art books awaits resident browsing. And an artist-in-residence, Luis Ramirez, is painting murals and teaching art classes.
"Our love of art and the history of the gallery district set the tone for the (building's) artscentric personality," said Jim Losik, national marketing director for Magellan Development Group, which developed the property.
Ramirez, a pop muralist and graffiti artist whose in-house title is Gallery Graffitist, has completed his first assignment: painting the fitness center walls with an explosion of color.
"I plan to bring different styles of artwork such as portraits or abstracts to appeal to the many different residents," Ramirez said. "I want everyone to feel inspired."
The first eight floors of the building, clad in reddish brick, were designed to conform to the surrounding streetscape. Above that podium, a sleek glass tower reaches 39 stories.
The units
The 442 apartments at The Gallery on Wells range from studio to three-bedroom, configured into 18 floor plans. Apartments are located on the second and third floors as well as the eighth through the 39th floors.
All apartments have driftwood vinyl flooring, full-size clothes washer and dryer, and smartphone compatible keyless entry. Private balconies and terraces are per plan.
Kitchens feature stainless steel appliances, white quartz countertops, contemporary espresso cabinetry and subway tile backsplashes.
A 963-square-foot model is a corner unit with two bedrooms and one bath. The primary living space is enclosed with glass exterior walls on two sides and captures city views from the kitchen, dining and lounging areas. The kitchen is defined by an appliance wall and a peninsula with breakfast bar. One bedroom has a walk-in closet, and the other bedroom has two linear closets. The apartment has a private balcony.
The amenities
A meandering lounge on the eighth floor offers oversize seating and television viewing, kitchen, tech lounge, private work areas and meeting rooms.
The 10th-floor fitness center has cardio and weight training machines, private and group exercise studios, sauna and wet lounges, locker rooms with showers, and a game room with billiards.
An enclosed skybridge on the 10th floor connects residents to an immense rooftop deck atop the office building next door. Interspersed with native landscaping, the space has a 25-yard swimming pool, sundeck, private cabanas, hot tub, fire pits, grilling stations and community gardens. Anchoring the deck is a sculpture depicting the Rolling Stones' iconic "tongue and lips" logo, an artifact that was displayed at the rock band's special exhibit at Navy Pier last summer.
On the third floor is a doggie spa and covered outdoor play area.
Resident services include 24-hour dry cleaning, automated package room, bicycle storage with repair and washing stations, and on-site garage with charging stations.
In the street-level lobby, nearly 7,500 square feet of commercial space is under development, including a coffee shop and nail salon.
The folks behind it
The Gallery on Wells was developed by Magellan Development Group and MAC Management. Magellan Property Management manages the building. The first residents arrived in July.

Cannibal Flower - 800 McGarry St.
Los Angeles, CA 90066
The Cannibal Flower Art Gallery and Performance Space is a once-a-month, portable venue for the arts that showcases art, music, dance, film, projections, magic and fashion shows. It started in 2000 (with L.Croskey, Jean-Paul Garnier, Michele Waterman) as a means for a group of friends to showcase their art and music without having to deal with the politics of the conventional gallery. Due to the vast success of the first few openings and the continued strength of the following shows, a strong following has grown, bringing in more artists and performers, varying from established artists to art students to outsiders. Cannibal Flower gives us each the opportunity to show work without the hassles of sending slides, pitching, etc.
As working artists ourselves, our attitude towards showing all kinds of art is just this: If there's an artist that's truly passionate and dedicated to what they do, they deserve a chance to show it. Another aim of ours is to create artist unity and collaboration, hence the beauty and liveliness of our "venue" being portable. By working with other galleries and alternative spaces, we not only bring promotion to other locations but bring the arts to wider audience. Every Cannibal Flower show is entirely different, bringing in all walks and groups of people young and old.
Eventually the need to expand into a more permanent and walk-in / viewer-friendly location was necessary, and LC's Art Annex - The Cannibal Flower Gallery & Store was born at the Melrose / Spaulding location in April of 2005. In 2006 Thinkspace Gallery was founded. : Thinkspace is a collaborative effort Between LC and The husband / wife team of Andrew and Shawn Hosner (who founded and edit the weekly show updates on SourHarvest.com's), June 2006 boasted a new partnership opportunity with powerhouse artist Logan Hicks (founder of Workhorse Visuals, and an amazing stencil artist)the Gallery moved to an exciting and larger space right off of Sunset Junction was formed
(where Los Angeles, Los Feliz and Silverlake meet).
In January 2007, a new addition to the family was born - a fine establishemnt called The Venice Contemporary.
Late in 2007, The Venice Contemporary made the transition to become The Grind Gallery.
With the combined efforts of all involved, the seeds for fascination and inspiration are sown.
One of the reasons for our growing success is the eclectic atmosphere of our events.
There is something for everyone, and everyone is interesting.
The website will be permanently closed shortly, so please retrieve any content you wish to save.

iPhone sales fell during the Christmas period for the first time in the handset's 10-year history. However, Apple is unlikely to be too upset. Thanks to the £1,000/$1,000 iPhone X, Apple earned more money than ever from its smartphone range.
Apple sold 77.3 million iPhone handsets during the last three months of 2017. That's down 1.2% on the previous year when it shifted a record 78.3 million devices.
However, despite this shortfall in sales iPhone revenue is up a whopping 11.69% to an incredible $61.58 billion dollars, compared with the same period last year.
Related: iPhone X review
Apple, as always, isn't releasing the figures for the individual models, but the numbers allow us to read between the lines.
The average revenue from an iPhone is up to $796, which compares to $694 last year, analyst Horace Dediu reports.
From looking at the increased revenue, it's obvious that the iPhone X has been a success. The numbers are even more impressive when you consider the iPhone X wasn't available until November.
The slight shortfall in sales can likely be attributed to the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, which underwhelmed somewhat upon launch.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said the iPhone X had "surpassed our expectations" and has been the "top selling" iPhone every week since its release.
Apple is also touting that the Apple Watch had its best quarter ever, thanks to the Apple Watch Series 3.
The firm says its "Other" category, which includes the Apple TV, Apple Watch, Beats headphones, iPad, AirPods and other accessories brought in $5.5 billion. That's up $1.5 billion on last year.

Whether you need financial assistance because of loss of work, medical bills, or to pay for the costs of recovery associated with any injuries sustained because of the hit and run accident, Christopher R. Dixon and the Dixon Injury Firm can and will provide you with expert hit and run truck accident legal guidance .

Dixon and the St. Louis Truck Accident Attorneys of Dixon Law strive to provide the best results possible. Christopher R. Dixon is recognized as a Top 100 Trial lawyer by the National Trial Lawyers Association and a Life-Time Member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and when you choose Chris for your legal guidance and counseling for a hit and run truck crash case you will be taken care of.
Finding the Hit and Run Driver is Step One
A vehicle accident is often the most traumatic event a person has ever suffered. In the moment, good people will sometimes flee from the scene in a panic. People that already have a tendency to be irresponsible are even more likely to disappear. Sometimes, drivers will run because they have other concerns. For example, drivers that do not have the insurance required by law will often not want to be caught at the scene of an accident where they may be required to pay the damages out of pocket. The police do not have an unlimited budget, and it should be no surprise that a hit-and-run car accident may not be their top priority. A good lawyer will know the leading private investigators in the area, and will also have strong relationships with local law enforcement. Oftentimes the police will have some leads, for example they may have interviewed some witnesses that were able to provide a general description of the truck, and a private investigator may be able to do the work to actually track down the leads. Private investigators may have more patience in getting access to potentially-helpful surveillance footage and other useful clues.
Uninsured Motorist Reporting
Missouri has a special requirement that any accident involving an uninsured motorist that caused injury, death, or more than $500 in damages must be reported. The Missouri Driver License Bureau will typically suspend the driver's license of the driver and license plates of the vehicle involved for the failure to maintain insurance. This may not always help someone that suffered at the hands of an uninsured driver, but the suspension can be extended if the driver fails to pay damages that he or she is liable for. So, this reporting can help an injured party to collect and that makes it important to do. In any event, it is a legal requirement that should be complied with and an experienced lawyer will make sure you take care of these important tasks.
Collecting from a Hit and Run Truck Accident Can Be The Hardest Part
Sometimes winning a judgment in court is only the first step in the process of obtaining compensation after an accident. This is especially true with a driver that fled the scene of an accident. Fleeing drivers tend to not be the most responsible individuals, so even after finding the responsible driver and winning a judgment against him or her, an injured party may have to consider using a process called "garnishment" to collect from the driver.
Hit and Run Truck Wreck Attorneys of Dixon Law defend your best interests against the responsible party, their lawyers and the insurance corporations.

In any given case, a court's ruling in a litigation matter is centrally determined by any number of things.
As noted in a recent business article, a judicial outcome from earlier this month featuring a Connecticut insurance company and several other insurer defendants issued "after an extensive and complex analysis of policy language" led the court to a clear determination regarding liability.
That court -- a Delaware tribunal -- found most fundamentally that sloppy and unclear contract language compelled an adverse result for Stamford-based XL Specialty Insurance Co. and several other insurers who had executed policies with communications giant Verizon Communications Inc.
XL's policy was for excess coverage exceeding liability limits in a primary policy Verizon had executed with insurance giant AIG to protect itself from any adverse fallout that might result from the spinoff of one of its business units several years ago.
And fallout did indeed result, following that subsidiary's subsequent collapse and bankruptcy filing. Verizon was forced to defend against a number of business entities alleging harm resulting from the spinoff.
In defending, Verizon pointed to the policies, which it stated directly covered its losses.
The insurers disputed that point, saying that coverage applied only under limited circumstances.
Verizon sued.
And, as a result, the court engaged in the above-cited protracted and complex analysis of language that it ultimately deemed was so unclear and inconsistent that there was no recourse other than to rule in Verizon's favor.
And the tribunal minced no words when it came to expounding on the reasoning underlying its decision.
The insurers, the court stated, obviously spent more time and energy being focused upon touting and selling a relatively pricey and niche-based product/service than they did on taking a "plain language approach to clearly articulating what was covered."
And that cost them, in a big way. The ruling against the insurers mandates that they pay more than $48 million to Verizon to recoup it for outlays it has spent in defending itself against spinoff-related liability.

Montreal's French-language superhospital says it's looking into a complaint by a patient who says a reputed urologist rebuffed him because he wanted to be served in English.
Zbigniew Malysa, a 67-year-old Polish man who has lived in Canada for more than 30 years, alleged in several interviews the doctor, Luc Valiquette, made offensive remarks about his ethnic origin and his difficulties in expressing himself in French.
The doctor then allegedly tore up and threw out a colonoscopy form that was intended for the patient.
Although Malysa speaks and understands French, he said wanted discussions about his medical care to be conducted in English.
Valiquette said the situation had arisen from a misunderstanding and that he'd be in touch with Malysa.
Management at the French hospital, known as the CHUM, said a review of Malysa's complaint is underway.
The hospital also noted that while it strives to serve patients in their mother tongue, it is not on the list of public institutions required to offer all its services in English.
Quebec Health Minister Gaetan Barrette said the situation, if Malysa's version of events is true, "is totally unacceptable."
"It's reprehensible, it's beyond understanding and it's a deep lack of judgment — if it all happened that way," Barrette said as he attended an event in Montreal.
Kathleen Weil, the cabinet minister responsible for relations with English-speaking Quebecers, tweeted that the government "cannot comment further at this time."
"We will continue to follow the case closely," she said. "If the allegations are confirmed, the entire situation is unacceptable."

Lose Those Extra Pounds Now!
If your stomach protrudes over your waist, a friend calls you chubby, or you had to throw out your girdle because it "shrunk" in the wash, you may have considered a diet. Typically, a diet starts with total abstinence of food most of the day followed by ravenous binging as hunger increases. Other St. Louis Personal Trainers and I would not recommend this regimen for losing weight, but it might be effective if you plan on entering the next Olympics as a Sumo wrestler!
In this healthy tip, I'm going to help you avoid over-eating and going on a diet by giving you some healthier food choices. Whether staying home or dining out, here are seven way to help you lose weight now before the holidays get here.
1. The Big H2/0. Start your meal with a big glass of water. My daughter says "Surf's UP!" because I tell the server I want lots of water throughout my meal. In fact, I want to see him/her a lot. I don't want my glass to go below half full without water (and lemon) in it! Water fills you up without adding any calories (plus it's free).
2. Anal Planners. My daughter calls me anal when it comes to food selection but who cares? You see, I will choose a restaurant that prepares low-fat fare and preplan my menu choices before I arrive. Or I'll call ahead to make sure the establishment has what I desire. Now, I don't do this every time, but it helps to know in advance that I will be eating something low-fat and nutritious before I get there.
3. Aggressive Diners. My daughter actually prefers to call me "assertive". That's because if I don't call ahead at the restaurant we'll be going to, then I will actually tell the waiter how I would like my meal prepared! (My husband is the same; happy to help the chef in any way he can). The idea is that restaurants are very accommodating and will prepare your meal the way you would like it. (You know, low-fat). Now, if you're going to your mother-in-law's and she's cooked all high-fat and calorie laden foods, then just eat a little bit, smaller portions, perhaps filling up on low fat foods before arriving there. Tell her you're just not hungry, but you just love her cooking!
4. Crazy Grazing. Another strategy is to regularly consume small amounts of food throughout the day. Going back to our Sumo wrestler; he wants to gain fat, so he will starve himself all day, slowing down his metabolism, and then consume a Thanksgiving dinner late at night. This will help him gain fat. I also had a client who ate 3 square meals a day and didn't lose an ounce. She told me she loves to eat. Eating is comfort. Eating is fun. And eating is tasty! So, I had her start eating 5 to 6 small meals a day. She not only enjoyed it, but lost 10 pounds in the process. This method helps keep blood sugar levels stable and energy levels up. Plus it staves off the "everything but the kitchen sink" hunger level.
5. Lean Carne. How many of you really meat or a low-fat protein in your diet? Meat is really not that bad (and actually important) if your selection of red meat is lean such bison or grass fed sirloin and ensure they are trimmed of excess fat. I've also been buying this 95% fat-free hamburger which I get at Schnucks and of course if you eat poultry, choose white meat with the skin.
6. Carb Depleting. I'm sure you're familiar with Sugar Busters or the Atkins diet. These diets were around in the 60's, came back and gone again. Next time, they'll be telling us to eat your carbohydrates, but cut out the fat and go easy on the protein! These are just part of the fad diet cycles. What I'm trying to tell you is don't shortchange yourself by skipping foods that are good carbohydrate sources. Include whole-grain choices such as brown rice and 100 % whole wheat products for additional nutrients and to increase your fiber intake. And balance your protein, carbs and fats—make it just simple rules; don't go on some fad diet (they'll just change it anyway!)
7. Aluminum Sliding. I always ask for salad dressings and sauces on the side. And of course, by now, you know that this also drives my daughter nuts, but rather than the restaurant's kitchen heaping dressings and sauces on your meal, this strategy lets you control the amount of fat you ingest.
If you find you have gained extra pounds during the holidays, you will need to hire a Certified Personal Trainer such as myself!
For more information on how to lose those 5 pounds now before the holidays, contact Maurie Cofman, AHFS, CES, TBMM-CES, Personal Trainer and Corrective Exercise Specialist in St. Louis, Brentwood and Clayton, MO.

WASHINGTON — In shrinking the United States Army to its smallest size since 1940, Pentagon officials said Monday that they were willing to assume more risk the next time troops are called to war.
But assuming more risk, they acknowledged, meant that more of those troops would probably die.
"You have fewer troops, fewer ships, fewer planes," Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said at a Pentagon news conference on Monday as he formally unveiled the department's $496 billion budget for the 2015 fiscal year. "Readiness is not the same standard. Of course there's going to be risk."
Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, also warned of higher risks during a news conference on Monday. He said that if additional cuts are imposed under the across-the-board mandatory reductions known as sequestration, "the risks grow, and the options we can provide the nation dramatically shrink."
He said a smaller Army must not only serve the needs of the country but also provide battlefield support to other segments of the military.
"At the end of the day, it's our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, Coast Guardsmen — America's sons and daughters — who will face tomorrow's challenges with the strategy, structure and resources that we develop today," General Dempsey said.
Under Mr. Hagel's proposed budget, the Army would drop to 440,000 to 450,000 troops by 2019, down from a peak of 570,000 during the height of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The Army, which bore the brunt of the fighting and casualties in the wars, was already scheduled to drop to 490,000 troops.
The National Guard and reserves, which were costly to train for Iraq and Afghanistan to meet the standards of their full-time counterparts, would face smaller reductions, although the Guard's arsenal would change to focus more on domestic disaster relief.
Many defense experts interviewed Monday said that given the budget realities, the decision to cut back on the Army made sense, even with the increased risk. One goal of reducing personnel costs, for example, is to find more money for training and weapons. Given that President Obama has said he wants to move away from a permanent war footing, budgetary gains would come from not having to carry a large land-war invasion army when the country is no longer engaged in such invasions.
"You can't buy perfect security," said Lawrence J. Korb, an assistant secretary of defense in the Reagan administration and a defense expert at the Center for American Progress. "How many tank battalions do you want to have? When do you expect to be using them?"
Michèle Flournoy, a former top Pentagon official in the Obama administration, said the country was unlikely to find itself engaged in two large simultaneous ground wars like Iraq and Afghanistan anytime soon.
"If we got that prediction wrong, there would be some risk in terms of needing to grow the force quickly to try to cope with a second large and sustained ground campaign," she said. "It's a calculated risk, but one that I think is reasonable."
Other military experts said a smaller Pentagon budget would mean cutting back on training and forgoing repairs for some equipment. If a crisis erupts, they said, the military could still mobilize troops, but they might not be as prepared, at least not initially.
"The Army won't say, 'You haven't given us any money to train these guys — we need six months to get there,' " if American troops were suddenly called up, said Maren Leed, a defense expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and a former adviser to Gen. Ray Odierno, the Army chief of staff. "They'll send them anyway, and then more of them are going to die. The military will always respond to the need."
On Tuesday, Mr. Hagel is to visit Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia and discuss the future of the Army.

He Khan't Do it! Shahid Khan is Killing Fulham
What Do They Need To Do This Season?
It's a very difficult situation to be in, you always felt they'd get beaten when they faced Blackburn last weekend. Their defence is very weak which is worrying because they aren't scoring goals in abundance at the moment, as much as Fulham fans love Kit Symons, I don't particularly believe he is the man to progress Fulham to the next level because he doesn't have enough experience. Here are three things they need to do to establish themselves as a Premier League outfit again.
-Bring in a New Owner/Chairman
Easier said than done of course but he hasn't lived up to how well-run the club was under former owner Mohamed Al-Fayed who owned the club for a period of sixteen years, managing to establish themselves in the Premier League and reach a Europa League final too. But ever since Khan took over in west London, they club have been on a downward spiral, having failed to appoint a manager who lasted longer than 10 months, if Fulham are to return to the top-flight, Khan needs to hand in his resignation.
-Give a Manager Time to Gel
Ever since Khan took Fulham ownership, he has appointed four managers in the space of about a year and seven months, which shows that he hasn't given them enough time to build a team, a philosophy and a style of play that can be trained to Fulham's strengths.
-New Signings
As much as Fulham have Premier League experience within their ranks, and sending the likes of Bryan Ruiz out on loan wasn't the right decision. If you want to get back into the top-flight, you don't ship your best players off on loan. What they need to do is to survive relegation and re-build next season, bring in a goalkeeper, 2/3 good defenders, a couple of midfielders and a striker which can get them 25 goals next season.

Craigslist is a powerful marketing tool with approximately 50 billion page views per month. That is a lot of eyeballs! The best news about this exciting platform is that it is, for the most part, free to use. Personal trainers and gym owners who are excited to spread the word about their products and services can post ads for free through this site.
Get To Know The Craigslist Platform
You may have browsed Craigslist before, or even purchased something from it. But how well do you know the platform? Get to know Craigslist intimately so that you can use it to your full advantage.
Start by going to the home page, Craigslist.org. Notice that the craigslist platform is international. That could be great if you offer online personal training resources, such as courses or Skype training sessions.
Find the state that you live in, and click on it. From there, zero in on your region. Then start to search for items that are relevant to your field of work. Act as though you are a client, searching for a service similar to your own. Browse around for group exercise classes and personal trainers.
The posts that you see will likely be your competition. Discover the number of organizations or individuals who are offering a service similar to yours. Be aware of what makes you want to click on a post to learn more, as you browse through the offerings.
You could even text message a number or send an email to a seller to see how that service-provider responds. What did you like about their response? Was it timely? Off-putting in any way? Take notes about what you find.
Understand The Craigslist Business Model
Since posting an advertisement that offers your fitness-based services is free, you might be wondering, "How does Craigslist make money?". The answer is that select Craigslist ad types carry a fee. For example, real-estate brokerage firms in NYC are automatically charged $10 for each post.
Here is a complete list of categories of ads which are not free to post:
- Job postings
- Real estate brokerage facilitated rental opportunities in NYC and surrounding area
- "By-dealer" categories (various, including furniture, and cars/trucks)
- Therapeutic services
By charging for some types of ads, Craigslist can collect income. When you understand this business model, you know more about how to advertise on craigslist. If you want to advertise for free, you will need to differentiate your services from those of a physical therapist.
Create Your Unique Strategy
You are now ready to create your first post. Before typing up your offering, you need to first build a foundation. Think about what you hope to get from the advertisement. Is it new clients? Do you want to create awareness about your new location, or a new program you are offering at your gym?
Decide on a clear and specific goal that you wish to pursue. Keep this purpose in mind as you think about your target audience and your stand-out features. Your goal can also guide you towards making wise and strategic marketer moves.
Identify Your Target Audience
Let's say, for example, that the goal of your craigslist posting is to build awareness in your local community about your new gym. You offer a boot camp program that meets every morning at 6 am, and you believe that if people started to participate and become excited about it, word of mouth would lead to more future sales. Profit isn't your motive — awareness is.
In this example of bringing awareness to a boot camp program, you might identify a target audience of busy, professional young adults, who want to squeeze in a high-intensity workout before heading to their 9 to 5.
When you define your goal, it is much easier to come up with a target audience. If you didn't set a specific purpose and thought that you just wanted to "advertise the gym," you might fail to come up with a useful target audience.
Think About What Makes You And Your Service Stand Out
What makes your services stand out? Do you specialize in helping beginners who have never worked out in their lives get off of the couch and get moving? Is your focus on elite athletes, or on weight loss?
Find the aspect of your business that sets you apart, and then consolidate it into one short phrase, or even a single word. You might be a "joyful" personal trainer or a "motivating" trainer. You may own a "high intensity" gym, or a gym with a "friendly, outgoing community atmosphere."
Make this differentiator sound enticing. However, don't exaggerate your capabilities.Your potential customers, even if they get sucked in initially, will see through the facade quickly. Be honest about what you have to offer to attract the right clients.
Make Ninja Marketer Moves
Beginning marketers think about one-time sales. Expert marketers think regarding relationships. If you are serious about growing your business, you already know how critical loyal customers are. It may take some time to develop those loyal-to-the-core client relationships.
Craigslist is likely just going to be a starting point, where you recruit "cold" customers, who have never heard of you, and turn them into "warm" or "hot" customers who enjoy your services and hopefully recommend you to others.
View Craigslist as a great way to bring people to your business, and not necessarily as paying customers. You might want to start out by hosting an evening talk at the local library about nutrition. You could start up a free running group that meets once a week. Hidden within those free offers is a super-stealthy ninja marketing move: you are turning cold relationships into warm or hot ones.
In our example of the gym with the boot camp program, a wise step would be to create a Craigslist ad that offers a week of free boot camp classes at your gym. Create your ad so that the client needs to go to your gym's website to claim the offer.
How To Advertise On Craigslist Like A Pro
Once you research the competition and create a smart strategy, you are ready to sit down at the computer and start composing your ad. Visit the Craigslist home page, and click on "US" or your specific country. Next, scroll down until you find your state, and then click on your region.
You will then find yourself on a region-specific classifieds page, for example "Portland Craigslist", or "SanDiego Craigslist". You must create ads that are region specific, so if your strategy includes targeting several regions, you'll have to create several ads.
Choose A Type And Category
Once you are on a page that is region-specific, click on the button in the upper left-hand corner of the page which says "post to classifieds." You will be prompted to choose a "type" of posting. Most likely, you will be listing a "service," "event/class" or "community" type of post. A great way to dial in your posting categories is to look at your competitors and check out the categories which they chose.
You will then be prompted to choose the "category" of your post. Look through the offerings and chose the most relevant one. In our example of the week of free boot camp classes, the ad would be a "community" type of ad, and the category would be "group."
Create Ad Copy
The next step is to create the actual wording of your ad. Your title must be attention-grabbing to your specific target audience. Take out your notes and remind yourself what made you look into individual ads as you were doing your research. Also refresh yourself as to what key phrases make your business stand out, and who your target audience is.
Combine all three aspects into an attention-grabbing ad. In our example, a potential headline would be "Want to up-level your fitness before the work day starts? Try our boot camp class for FREE".
Your headline gets the client to click on your ad, and once they are in you have to keep their attention. Use short blocks of text. Your wording should be professional but not overly stuffy. Use human sounding language. Bullet lists are great. Make your offer very clear. List all of the relevant details. You should also include a link so that an excited potential client can find out more about your service instantly.
Craigslist is a robust platform for many active users. Take advantage of this resource to the fullest by crafting an ad that works. Create a clear goal for your ad, and then think up a strategy. Identify your target audience, and then use your ad copy to speak directly to them.
Have fun with it! Since Craigslist is free, it is a great place to find out what does and doesn't work. You'll know when a post works because you will be receiving messages and calls from interested clients! Hopefully this post has shown you exactly how to advertise on Craigslist to grow your business.

World Skills success for North-West student
The North-West Regional College in Derry has once again highlighted its commitment to demanding professional standards with the selection of one of its automotive course students for the World Skills final this coming August in the Russian city of Kazan.
Declan Porter is currently in the penultimate year of his Master Technician diploma with four years study behind him at the college's motor vehicle department. Keeping a close eye on his development is Barry McDaid, department lecturer and Training Manager for Team UK World Skills. Speaking of Declan's success, he says: "Technology within the automotive industry is changing so fast and requires dedicated, skilled people like Declan.
"His hard work, perseverance, skill and determination have brought him to the top of his game where he is now competing among the best in the world."
Declan with lecturer Barry McDaid
McDaid added: "This is a huge achievement for Declan, and staff as well as his fellow students at NWRC's motor vehicle department are delighted with his success so far.
"To watch him grow in confidence has been inspiring. He has a very steady nature and has really built upon his ability to cope under pressure and deal with competition."
The Automobile Technology challenge progressed through several local and national heats until the competing candidates were eventually channelled down to the sole UK representative.
Declan's journey began with the Northern Ireland heat held in Omagh before progressing to the Volkswagen UK headquarters in Milton Keynes for the UK heat under the auspices of the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI).
From selection at Milton Keynes, just six were chosen for the final challenge in Birmingham where Declan went through to represent the UK at the 45th World Skills final in Kazan. He will join competitors from more than 60 countries at the Kazan Expo International Exhibition Centre in a challenging programme that begins on August 22.
The participants will be judged on maintaining light vehicles from various manufacturers, diagnosing complex mechanical problems and delivering solutions within commercial cost and time restraints.

text: Little is known about the life of this creature, but it is believed to feed on prey such as chaetognatha, large fish such as the Patagonian toothfish, and smaller squid in the deep ocean using bioluminescence. A recent study by Remeslo, Yakushev and Laptikhovsky revealed that Antarctic toothfish make up a significant part of the colossal squid's diet; of the 8,000 toothfish brought aboard trawlers between 2011 and 2014, seventy-one showed clear signs of attack by colossal squid. The colossal squid is thought to have a very slow metabolic rate, needing only around 30 grams (1. 1 oz) of prey daily for an adult with a mass of 500 kilograms (1,100 lb). Estimates of its energy requirements suggest it is a slow-moving ambush predator, using its large eyes primarily for prey-detection rather than engaging in active hunting.

Hi Verbena-Love the animal rescue idea….Sounds right on…Would be great for your client.
I enjoyed this. Thanks. Miss Krystal
Tracy from Ralston, Nebraska says:
My life path is changing. I am currently an owner of a 24/7 locksmith company. I have been working 24/7 for over six years now. This has proven to be a learning experience for me, but not my true inner desire in life.
I want to help in many ways – animal rescue and communication, helping people understand their true nature in this earthly body, getting the word out about understanding our spiritual selves and how we are all connected. I am studying to help myself tap into my true abilities.
After my son graduates in 2011, I want to sell my company and move along my path, but I am still not clear what I should do next to earn income. With this change I want to move to the country where I feel I truly belong. I would have room for animals and the opportunity to study nature spirits and Mother Earth. Any suggestions?Dear Tracy,
After so many years of having let circumstances direct your life, you are truly on the verge of following your dreams!
The first thing your guides showed me was the cover of a book by the great spiritual environmentalist John Muir, a prodigious writer and outdoor adventurer who was almost single-handedly responsible for the establishment of the United States' groundbreaking National Parks system in the early 20th century.
Reading some of the many books of John Muir's collected works will help you get closer to the powerful path that is arising within you. I would also suggest that you watch the series Ken Burns' The National Parks: America's Best Idea, listen carefully to the people interviewed during this excellent and moving six-part series, and perhaps research their backgrounds on the internet. They and Muir will reveal the beginning of your path.
In addition to spirit guides who are human, and energy beings like Angels and Devas, you also have several very large animals in your energy field. While I can't see them all clearly, Wolf and Buffalo are among them, and it is they who are calling you forward. Meditate with them to ask for their guidance and help. They assure me that even your first steps will produce adequate income for your needs.
While the path which will be most satisfying for you won't necessarily have you working for many years in the National Parks System, or directly with wildlife, I feel that what you ultimately do will link to and be inspired by them. What you choose must include a direct or indirect way to teach spiritual truth and work with animals. After you've done your initial journey of exploration, you might create your own animal or wildlife rescue organization somewhere in the northern part of the US, on either coast, or work as an animal trainer and teacher of animal communication, or even as an animal psychic and healer.
Whichever you choose, you will be happy and fulfilled.

Yes there is a title to this piece. At least the working title for now. WARRIORS
Here is the link to today's video.
I received a few questions from Daryl in Oklahoma this morning. I figure I'd share his questions and my answers. Just in case anyone out there has the same questions rattling around.
"....... I was wondering how you were going to go from that side anatomydrawing and pose the horse from it but I guess that is still yet to comeand I will just have to be patient.
It must be really cold there, I see you all the time bundled up when you are working and all the snow on the drives you take.....makes me glad Ilive in Oklahoma.
I had a question as I have been studying the finished "War Stories" piece.As I have said before I love detail but is it possible to put too muchdetail on a piece so that it is lost in the casting process?
My Answer;
Daryl, The side anatomy is only a guide for me to add anatomy to. As you'll see, I create this armature from a flat drawing. Kind of like laying the keel of a boat under construction. I hang all the 3 demensional anatomy on this frame.
It does stay pretty cool in the studio most of the time. When I turn up the heat, you'll see me in shirt sleeves.
As far as how much detail is to much. Never to much. The foundry costs go up the more detailed a piece is. as far as how much of the detail is lost... None of it is ever lost. Even my fingerprints come out in the finished bronze. That's how much detail the foundry can get.
Allen Funt, the guy who created the TV show, Candid Camera, bought a bronze from me. I was working on the clay at the time. He asked how much detail would come out in the bronze.
I had him make a rock for the base. I told him to put his thumb print in the clay of that rock. When he got his piece, I told him he would see that print there. The bronze was cast over 20 times, and everyone of those castings had his print in them. The bronzes title was "Prairie Dispute".
Well if any of you have any questions at all, just write me. firstname.lastname@example.com

Country music is at the center of the Under The Big Sky festival with Dwight Yoakam performing alongside indie-star Jenny Lewis and country music singer Cody Jinks.
Under The Big Sky celebrates the tradition of gathering friends and family together under open skies to listen to music, according to a release. The festival will explore the breadth and legacy of Americana, taking in both traditional and contemporary takes on our country�s rich musical traditions, across two stages in naturally formed amphitheaters on the ranch.

As more reports of stolen and vandalized Obama/Biden signs stream in to the local committees, other signs are appearing to counter the "I Am Voting For The Chick" signs in the central valley.
Many women (and men) find the "chick" signs offensive and a put-down on women. So, was whoever made them (there is no authorization statement so I assume it was an individual) a dumb cluck? Maybe so. Or, perhaps he/she is just blind to the realities of gender. Guess that happens when your brain is a century behind the times. In addition to the inherent sexism of the sign, wouldn't it read better and be more appealing as "I'm Voting For The Chick?" Must have missed homeschool class that day!
