This vacation rental is a wonderful, authentic Taos adobe home. The original house (now the second bedroom) was once home to a family of nine! Back then, both the kitchen and bathroom were outside. This home is thought to be at least two hundred years old and is an historic property. Like many adobe homes originally built in Taos, this home was added to in the ensuing years.
But unlike many old adobe homes, this one is amazingly spacious while retaining a warm and cozy feeling. The layout of this vacation rental is especially suitable for two couples or friends traveling together, as the two good-sized bedrooms, each with private bath, are separated by the sun room and the great room. There is also a double futon in the sun room and one in the great room for additional guests (for a total sleeping capacity of eight.)
Couples love my house because there is room to spread out during longer stays. The house is furnished with interesting antiques, rugs, sculptures and original art. The kitchen is fully equipped and ready to produce those gourmet feasts or a quick snack for two. Bedroom number two has a washer and dryer for those chores that call out even on vacation.
The house is cozy in the winter due to its traditional thick adobe walls, four kiva fireplaces, and very efficient gas heaters . . . one in the great room and one in each of the bedrooms. And there is always a good supply of firewood in the carport.
Summer is delightful and cool inside as well as being perfectly suited for outdoor living. There is a deck off the master bedroom and a front flagstone patio with table and chairs, BBQ, and outdoor fireplace. The property enjoys expansive mountain views. The yard is fenced and I welcome well behaved dogs and children into my home.
This is the perfect taos vacation rental home, with a wonderful, peaceful feeling, and yet it is only a few minutes' drive to all thatTaos has to offer ... good restaurants, shops, galleries, museums, the Taos Pueblo and many great outdoor activities.
Charm, comfort and convenience . . . the perfect Taos vacation rental!

Easter Basket Prep – What to gift the adults in your family…
6 Tips on how to spend Valentine´s Day as a Single Woman….
loungewear set Asos /
First off all, no I am not split up, we are still happily married and enjoying each others company very much but I thought why not share my experience with you. If it makes just one of you feel better I have reached my goal.
So I know how it is to spend Valentine´s Day alone and it sucks but there is nothing wrong with it and to be honest maybe you have the better time being home alone anyways. It always has been one of my favorite holidays (what could not be great about celebrating love, either it is self-love, friendship or your partner) and I have been single and even worse, also have been broken-up with on Valentine´s Day. I mean who does this? It is almost like breaking up with someone on his/her birthday. My firm belief is that he did it becaue he didn´t knew it was Valentine´s Day and not because he wanted to be extra cruel but who knows exactly.
So here are my tips to all the single ladies out there to make yourself feel better (they work I promise and you are not less worth if you don´t have someone to spend that special day with, be sure to have that in the back of your mind because I haven´t had that back then and felt pretty lousy and sad):
Cuddle up // For me cuddling up on the sofa has an enormous comfortable and homey factor and I love it. I instantly feel calm and a lot happier than going some place else. Put on your favorite lounge wear (the one I am wearing above is from Asos and I swear it feels like you are wearing a stuffed animal) and binge watch your favorite show / wear a face mask you love. No one is there to complain or switch the channel.
Chocolates // Get your favorite box of chocolates and if you like, eat them all.
Bubbly // Since treating ourselves is right up our alley why not get a bottle of champagne (and I am not hinting to get drunk because you are sad or lonely) as well. It will be a nice and welcome change to your weekday routine to celebrate yourself with a glass of bubbly.
Spoil your pet (if you have one) // It is going to make you feel better if you can give some love to your pet. Make them their favorite food (Chloe´s is chicken) or take some extra time to play with them. Pets are happy if you are focusing/interacting with them and also they love you unconditionally no matter what.
Meet up with a friend (call a friend) // I know this isn´t always possible cause everyone has a different work schedule or a different time zone or even has a partner/kids but if it is possible be sure to spend an hour somewhere drinking a cup of coffee together and find out what is new in each others lives (same goes for talking on the phone).
Treat yourself // Get the one piece which has been on your wish you always waited for a reason to buy. Whether it´s a new handbag, a piece of jewelry or the cashmere sweater you´ve been looking at every other week. You matter and you deserve it!!
Hopefully I could brighten your day a little with these few tips. Wishing you a great weekend and thanks for stopping by.
6 things we can learn from the Mary Poppins Returns movie…
skirt H&M / military blazer jacket from Italy similar here and here / shirt manguun collection similar here / heeld oxfords old similar here and here
Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
anyone arround who loves Disney? I just adore it. Every movie, every charakter, every park and every shop. I have to see it. Everytime we visit a new city and we pass a Disney store I am the first one in and could stay there for a long time.
When we where in London two years ago it was the release of the remake of the Beauty and the Beast starring Emma Watson as Belle and the whole Disney store was changed into showplaces of the movie. Didn´t want to leave ever.
Some weeks ago we finally went to see the new Mary Poppins Returns movie in the cinema and it was great. Not only do I truly love Emily Blunt as an actress who fit the role perfectly, I also love how drastically a Disney movie can change your emotions by watching it and not only this.
You can also learn a lot from every Disney movie about life and value and moral and treating other people. So I am sharing 6 things I recognized while watching with you today.
# 1 Be kind // Spreading kindness is absolutely essentially when it comes to interacting/socializing with other people. It really doesn´t cost a thing but can help so much. Whether it is careerwise or for personal matters. You will always ALWAYS meet people twice in your life – you probably don´t know where or when – but wouldn´t it be better if you are meeting on a positive initual situation than on anger or dislike.
#2 Never stop dreaming // You are never too old or too young to have dreams. There will always be the dream smashers who don´t believe in your ideas or thoughts but guess what, not everyone is like that. You have to stick to your convictions like other people before you did or there would be no Starbucks and no Harry Potter. So go on and chase after the stars to pursue your dreams. Everything is possible.
#3 Don´t stuck your nose into things which are none of your business // This is relevant for personal matters as much as for business. Of course we all gossip, if you admit it or not but everyone somehow is nosy and wants to know everything. Keep in mind that knowing too much of a certain thing can also bring big trouble and or real consequences. If someone at all cost doesn´t want you to know something just leave it be. It can only make things worse.
#4 There are always people out there who want your bad // Not everyone you meet on your way through life will be nice and have your best interest at heart. There are lots of people who only do things which which will be good for themselves no matter the cost or the trace of corpses they leave behind. They use you or play you like a foo. If someone turns out to be this kind of person make a big turn around cause many people are only looking out for themselves and this is getting worse and worse.
#5 Don´t judge a book by its cover // This is as old as time but still true. A first impression is important but that´s also all you have. Take some time to get to know the other person a little better before judging. I know we all mostly judge before we question someone/something but this really is something worth the effort. You never know who you possibly could get to know without.
#6 Never loose your inner child // Having fun and being silly from time to time is not wrong at all. Some adults are so serious that it is almost tiring talking to them. These days everyting we do and see (work, news) is so gravely. You have to provide your own fun and don´t take everything and also yourself too serious otherwise this will steal your joy and drown you in fear and resentment.
Have you seen the movie allready ? Do you like Emily Plant as Mary ? Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Mayor Ed Lee raises prospect of adopting form of Laura's Law
Lee raises prospect of adopting court-ordered treatment in S.F.
Mayor Ed Lee knew he was courting controversy when he declared in his recent State of the City address that he wanted a "community-based mental health program" to help confront San Francisco's homeless problem.
He was talking about - at least in some form - Laura's Law, the much-debated and little-used state law passed in 2002 that allows a judge to order outpatient treatment for the seriously mentally ill. Efforts to implement it in San Francisco under then-Mayor Gavin Newsom foundered at the Board of Supervisors, but Lee has indicated he will try his hand. Exactly what he is proposing, however, is unclear.
Parents and siblings of the mentally ill have pushed for the use of Laura's Law for years, saying it would help those who refuse treatment to reverse their slide toward institutionalization, jail or worse. Adoption of the law has been fragmentary, though, as patient advocates and others oppose it as ineffective or an unwarranted breach of individual rights.
"Folks, I know this will not come without controversy, but I refuse to let people die on our streets any longer because we refused to compel them to help themselves," Lee said to applause from a crowd that included almost the entire Board of Supervisors, where majority support would be needed for the law to be implemented.
Proposal isn't clear
Whether Lee will get the votes is an open question, in part because it's unclear exactly what he is proposing. Among the options that Lee and members of his administration have presented or suggested: expanding an existing voluntary pilot program, fully implementing Laura's Law, doing both, or some hybrid.
The mayor's proclamation came as he has faced mounting complaints in the Civic Center and Hayes Valley neighborhoods about street people using drugs, defecating on the streets and having sex in broad daylight. Lee recently graded his own administration only a C for its work on helping the homeless, many of whom suffer from mental health disorders.
Under Laura's Law, named for Laura Wilcox, a college student shot dead in 2001 by a troubled psychiatric patient at a Nevada County clinic, a judge can order someone to undergo outpatient treatment. The person must meet specific criteria, including a history of lack of compliance with their treatment and a clinical determination that they are unlikely to survive safely in the community without supervision.
Implementing Laura's Law as written is something only two rural counties - Yolo and Nevada - have done. In addition, Los Angeles County has a small, voluntary program that it is now looking to expand.
'Laura's Law lite' in S.F.
San Francisco intends to continue and expand a pilot program that some have dubbed "Laura's Law lite." Begun in 2011, it has treated 20 patients in the psychiatric ward of San Francisco General Hospital. They qualify because they were determined to be "gravely disabled," which means that because of a mental disorder, the person cannot meet basic needs for food, clothing or shelter.
San Francisco's Department of Public Health treats 23,000 mental health patients each year. Implementing Laura's Law would allow the department to reach a wider pool of people than just those who are psychiatric patients at San Francisco General, said Barbara Garcia, director of public health.
It would allow anybody - such as a relative, neighbor or doctor - to report a mentally ill person to the county in the hope a Superior Court judge would mandate treatment. If the judge were to agree, law enforcement officers would be permitted to pick up the patient for hospitalization. The city's current program is voluntary, and patients must agree to participate.
"The thing I really like about Laura's Law is it allows family members and providers to seek care," Garcia said.
Pilot program's success
Jo Robinson, director of the city health department's behavioral health services division, said the 20 participants in the pilot program have mostly been very successful. They're all housed, living in the community and taking their medications - and one is even working a full-time job in a supervisory role.
Proponents of Laura's Law, though, say San Francisco's program, while beneficial, affects only a small number of people who have already reached the stage where a court has determined they are gravely disabled and face conservatorship, where many rights can be taken away, including decisions on medication and housing. Those who don't agree to participate voluntarily will be conserved anyway but not housed in an unlocked "community" setting, Robinson said.
Laura's Law treats people before they get to that point or qualify for an involuntary psychiatric detention because they pose an immediate danger to themselves or others, said Michael Heggarty, director of the Nevada County Behavioral Health Department, where the law has been in place since 2008.
"The Laura's Law folks are the ones who fall between the cracks," Heggarty said.
Forcing people into treatment programs, though, isn't the best way to get them to recover, said Steve Fields, director of the Progress Foundation, a nonprofit behavioral health provider that serves about 2,000 patients a year who are diverted out of San Francisco General Hospital.
"We know from doing the work at the acute level that involuntary commitment is not what works," Fields said. "It doesn't work if the client isn't motivated to engage. It's not a miracle solution."
A life changed for better
More effective, Fields said, is substantially increasing the options for voluntary treatment to create an effective care system. "It's like we have consumers who want to buy a product that isn't on the shelves, and then we blame the consumer when they don't buy the product," Fields said.
Christine, a Nevada County resident who asked that her full name not be used, has a son who was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 2009 when he was 19. She credits Laura's Law with bringing him back from the brink.
The young man had been admitted to a prestigious UC Santa Barbara honors engineering program before the illness fully took hold, she said. He had delusions of a conspiracy against him and thought a camera and audio recorder had secretly been implanted in his face, said his mother.
"When he didn't get his way, he would refuse medication," Christine said. Then last year he "went full bore," rejecting all medication, she said.
He was hospitalized four times in 2013 after three suicide attempts and twice jumping off a second-story balcony thinking he was being pursued, she said.
In December, his caseworker took him before a judge, and he was entered in a supervised outpatient treatment program, his mother said.
Now he participates in group activities, goes grocery shopping and goes to restaurants, "which he hadn't done in months," his mother said. "His whole demeanor is vastly improved. He's making great strides."
Without the program, "he would be homeless," she said. "That's the short answer."
Saving money, time
Nevada County Officials credit Laura's Law with dramatically decreasing the amount of time mentally ill residents spend in jail and in the hospital, saving the county more than $500,000 during first 2 1/2 years the law was in effect.
Since May 2008, 75 people have gone through the program, which typically lasts six months, and only four have refused to comply with treatment, Heggarty said. Most agree to treatment without a court order, he said.
Of the most recent 43 people who have been out of the program for 12 months, the combined number of days they spent homeless decreased 93 percent, from 1,114 days in the year before treatment to 72 days in the year after, according to county figures.
Widening the net
San Francisco came closest to adopting Laura's Law when then-Supervisor Michela Alioto-Pier wrote legislation to participate in 2010. But when Mitch Katz, the city's public health chief at the time, persuaded the board to reject it, Alioto-Pier withdrew her legislation. Katz objected because the law doesn't allow compulsory medication.
"He didn't feel that the law was strong enough," said Garcia, the current public health chief. "I feel like it's a tool. ... There's not one program that can solve it all."

Caregiver social isolation adversely impacts child health and developmental outcomes; it also
contributes to suboptimal engagement in health care services and enrichment resources, which
also elevate risk for poor outcomes in childhood. The proposed pilot intervention aims to
reduce social isolation and promote engagement in health promoting enrichment and activities,
by embedding a community health worker assisted forum in a community-driven mobile
communications (using a platform supported by the company txtwire).
The investigators propose a two-arm, pilot study enrolling 100 parents of children age 0-5
years old who reside in the Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan neighborhoods of Boston.
Participants will be recruited from Boston Medical Center and community sites in Roxbury,
Dorchester, and Mattapan. The investigators will use quality improvement methods to improve
the utilization of the mobile communications shared through txtwire to build collective
efficacy for children and social support and engagement that will optimize family resiliency
and thereby promote child well-being, as well as, assess the acceptability of the
intervention, and logistics of the field implementation to ultimately inform an appropriately
powered RCT. Participants will receive compensation for participation at baseline and
follow-up interviews.
The intent of this study is to support developement of mobile social communications to reduce
social isolation.
The investigators propose a two-arm, pilot study enrolling 100 parents of children age 0-5
years old who reside in the Dudley Square neighborhood of Boston. Participants will be
recruited from Boston Medical Center and community sites in Dudley Square. After completing
the baseline survey, 50% of participants will be randomized to receive access to a free
mobile communications and a web-based informational platform supported by txtwire. A simple
randomization technique will be used.
The investigators will engage a group of community residents (who are not study participants)
in the process of designing the social network content for the txtwire site and features.
The investigators will use quality improvement methods to improve the utilization of the
txtwire mobile communications to improve social support and engagement that will optimize
family resiliency and thereby promote child well-being, as well as, assess the acceptability
of the intervention, and logistics of the field implementation to ultimately inform an
appropriately powered RCT.
Recruitment will take place at Boston Medical Center in the outpatient pediatric primary care
clinic and at public, community sites in Dorchester, Roxbury and Mattapan. The investigators
will have a trained research assistant approach and recruit parents who are presenting for
well-child care visits. The locations will be selected to maximize convenience for the
families. A trained research assistant, following this standard procedure will screen parents
presenting with a child between the ages of 0 and 5 years old for a routine health care
maintenance visit from the clinical waiting areas at BMC and from public community sites.
Participants will be approached by a trained research assistant who will share a 1-page flyer
about the study (see attached) and ask if they would like to proceed with the eligibility
screening. For patients who meet inclusion/exclusion criteria, formal consent and contact
information will be obtained. In order to proceed with the interview parents must agree to a
follow-up interview in 6-months via phone or in-person.
Participants will be approached in the clinic waiting area at Boston Medical Center and in
open community sites in the Dorchester, Roxbury, and Mattapan neighborhoods.
1. First, the investigators will conduct a preliminary eligibility screen to determine
participant eligibility using the criteria described below.
2. Next, each participant will complete a contact information form that includes name, cell
phone number, home address, and email address.
3. Next, Each participant will complete a baseline survey.
After completing the baseline survey, the investigators will randomize 50% of participants to
the intervention arm: the free txtwire social mobile communications. The investigators will
randomize 100 caregivers with a child between the ages of 0-5 years old and have a primary
residence in the Dorchester, Roxbury, or Mattapan neighborhoods of Boston. 50% of
participants will be randomized to the free txtwire mobile communications. With the exception
of cellphone number there will be no identifying data recorded by txtwire.
Subjects will be randomly allocated to study arms to eliminate unmeasured confounding. For
those who consent, the investigators will randomize 1:1, according to a pre-made, concealed
schedule. Subjects will be randomized to txtwire mobile communications or no intervention.
Fifty caregivers in the intervention arm will receive a brief, in-person, training on how to
use the txtwire mobile communications and assistance with setting it up on their mobile
devices. Fifty caregivers will be randomized to the control arm. Members of the control arm
will not receive any additional training or app. For both arms, the investigators will track
engagement with community resources and services for child health and enrichment, social
support and networks, and child and family well-being over a 6 month period using brief
monthly electronic surveys completed on the mobile phone. These surveys will be administered
using Mobile Commons. At the end of the 6 month period all subjects will complete a follow-up
survey. They will receive compensation for completion. If an in-person interview is not
possible, the investigators will conduct a phone interview.
The investigators will meet with community members who are not study participants to receive
feedback on the content, layout, txtwire platform.
The investigators will meet biweekly as a team with the Community Health Worker, Research
Assistant, Dr. Boynton-Jarrett and data manager. Using the Institute for Healthcare
Improvement's Model for Improvement Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) methodology, the investigators
will review the use of the txtwire mobile communications and attempt to improve functioning
of the community health worker mediated forum in an iterative fashion. Intervention study
participants will be able to provide feedback on the utility of information provided through
the txtwire mobile communications using the online platform. The investigators will plan for
a change in one facet of the intervention, implement that change (do), study whether the
desired effect was achieved, and act to determine if further optimization is needed. The
investigators hope to engage in two or three PDSA cycles during the intervention period.
The investigators will conduct a semi-structured qualitative interviews with our intervention
subjects to better understand engagement with the txtwire mobile communications at the time
of the follow-up survey. The investigators intend to use the qualitative interview techniques
to understand attitudes, behaviors, and motivations for interacting with the system.

Life is busy and then so am I. It is something that I am grateful for! I create a schedule for working with my clients and because of necessities, by other people and other clients, this schedule that I create is always in flux. So I change my plans and I change my schedule. I really do enjoy being busy. I enjoy helping other people and businesses grow; I like to think that I am working on making this world a better place.
I hope that I never quit learning and I enjoy learning how to improve myself and how to help improve this world. That I am allowed to share my knowledge, is a great privilege that I am grateful for. As much as I like to say that I am perfect, none of us are; there is always something new for us to learn.
I am grateful for Tom Hart and Success Series LLC, for his coaching and mentoring, helping me to improve my life and therefore the lives of others. I am also grateful for a good friend Sarah, who turned me onto the writings of Don Miguel Ruiz; I am learning more every day.

American Idol auditions happening Monday in Chicago
Auditions are happening in Chicago on Monday for ABC's upcoming reboot of the popular singing competition American Idol.
Long lines are forming as people show up to sing in front of producers at McCormick Place. Doors open at 9:00 a.m.
ABC affiliate WLS-TV talked to American Idol Senior Supervising Producer Patrick Lynn about what singers can expect during the process.
"You'll go up in front of a table that will have one or two producers at it. They're all people from Idol. They'll ask you to sing and then they'll let you know whether you will go into the next round. If you go into the next round after that you'll be signing in front of our executive producers", Lynn said.
Singers who make it past Monday's round of auditions will find out if they'll get to go in front of a panel of celebrity judges at a future date.
Auditions are open to U.S. residents between the ages of 15 and 28. Singers must bring an ID to prove their age. Anyone younger than 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Singers can not have contractual obligations that would prevent them from being on the show.
WISN 12 hosted a "Milwaukee Idol" contest at the Mitchell Park Domes last month. Five singers from southeast Wisconsin won a pass to jump to the front of the line in Chicago. Our crews will be checking in with them throughout the day to see how they do.
In addition to in-person auditions, producers are also accepting video submissions online. Click here for more information.

More specifically, a free application for those who used Authorize.Net or Zoomgate payment gateways. Since the application launched, a great deal has changed in the industry and 1st National had added many more advanced smartphone processing solutions. But alas, MMP lives on. The scope here included the development of the smartphone applications, a website, and integration with their lead capture and affiliate systems.

literally spills the beans with his ten-year
collection of priceless tales on the lives
of Hollywood icons
Los Angeles, CA,
January 23, 2011 - After collecting
literally hundreds of vintage tales of
Hollywood legends over the years, Stephen
Schochet not only wrote a book that
everyone could enjoy on the glamorous, and
not so glamorous, stories of Hollywood
icons, but also created audiobooks. As
explained in an interview with Reuters, this
entrepreneur told two kinds of stories on
his tour bus; origin stories – telling how
things we take for granted came to be, and
funny anecdotes. He not only read a lot of
books to find his material, but also tried
to meet people who were connected to the
famous – like housekeepers – that he could
garner some tidbits from! His book is a
special blend of biography, history and
legends and covers scandalous yarns on some
of Hollywood's greatest characters – from
Shirley Temple and Lucille Ball to Charlie
Chaplin, Walt Disney and Michael Jackson.
Hollywood Stories: Short,
Entertaining Anecdotes About the Stars and
Legends of the Movies! (Hollywood
Publishing) is packed with wild and
wonderful short tales on many famous stars,
movies and directors – anyone who has been a
part of the world's most fascinating and
unpredictable industry!
Schochet is also the author and narrator of
two audiobooks. The first is Tales of
Hollywood which started as a way to
highlight the origins of how famous things
in Hollywood began, combined with humorous
tales about the stars - for which he
masterfully provided background music and
sound effects to add realism. The second
project, Fascinating Walt Disney, was a huge
hit – telling stories of how Walt created
Mickey Mouse, Disneyland, Snow White and all
his endearing characters, causing the host
of one radio show to dub Schochet 'The best
storyteller about Hollywood we have ever
The author covers the gamut when it comes to
situational stories; from the one about a
bus full of tourists at Universal Studies
who were viewing the famous motel from the
movie Psycho and who screamed in terror as a
tall man, dressed in drag, carrying a large
knife and looking remarkably like Norman
Bates, charged the tram with a convincing
maniacal expression– only to find out it was
actor Jim Carrey having some fun - to the
story of how Walt Disney overprotected his
two daughters from the limelight in fear of
their being kidnapped, to the point that
when one daughter found out from a classmate
that her father was THE Walt Disney, she
went home and asked for his autograph!
Hollywood Stories truly has something for
everyone. It is a thoroughly entertaining
book that features a remarkable cast of
Hollywood's legendary characters and icons
and is jam-packed with surprising and funny
tales with often unpredictable endings. No
matter which page the book is opened on,
there will be some fascinating part of
Hollywood history to be savored! Check out
this author's website at:
Stephen Schochet is willing to do in-studio
interviews as well as on location at famous
Hollywood sights, such as Grauman's Chinese
Theater, the Chateau Marmont Hotel, etc.;
places that will serve as the perfect
backdrop to some of his best stories.

Here's a quick tip on how to improve your auction item displays when you're offering a trip in either the silent or live auction. Use a photo book in your display. "Photo book" is the name I give to books (and I use the term "books" loosely) which feature photos of the inside of the property, outside of the property, and activities to do in the area. Think of it as a handmade version of a traditional coffee table picture book. Sometimes these books are a few pieces of paper stapled ... Read On >
Live Auctions
Best ballroom layout for an auction with dance floor
Many nonprofits end their benefit auctions with dancing from either a DJ or a live band. Traditionally there are two standard layouts for this type of event, and both are poor. The dance floor becomes the area from which the auctioneer works. The auctioneer is on a stage and a huge dance floor (a feature which isn't used but for the last 90 minutes of the event!) is positioned in a top location, directly in front of the stage. Neither of these options works because neither set-up ... Read On >
Busted! Be wary of images used in fundraising auction displays
In the summer of 2015, the nonprofit division of Venable law published "Busted: Nonprofits Will Have to Pay the Photography Piper." The article itself is short and worth reading, but here's the synopsis. For many years, nonprofits have pulled images from the internet and used them in their publications or websites. Until recently, software didn't exist to make it easy for photographers and their agents to track down these copyrighted images. Now the software exists, and nonprofits are ... Read On >
Havana Nights auction theme: Tacky or trendy?
Since 2014 when President Obama re-established relations with Cuba, the country has been a popular topic in my client meetings. And with the recent death of Fidel Castro, news about Cuba has been widely covered in the papers and on television. For this post, let's discuss Cuba through the lens of our focus on fundraising auctions. ======================== Readers want to know if it's tacky to use Cuba as a theme. Here's a question I was asked last week via Facebook. ("Like" me ... Read On >
[VIDEO] When to use a theater-style layout for your fundraising auction
When time allows during the spring auction season, I create highlight videos from some of my fundraising auctions. These videos are posted on the Red Apple Auctions Facebook page but you'll only see those if you 1) use Facebook, and 2) have "liked" the Red Apple Auctions Facebook page. As not all readers are Facebookers, I thought it might be a good idea to share these on the blog too. It allows all auction planners to get ideas from some of the top notch events my clients produce.The video ... Read On >

The great estate brandies from South Africa don't have it easy in the market. There's this thing called Cognac, see, a category that seduces consumers with brands like Remy Martin, Courvoiseur and Hennessy. Besides the evocative names and the charming French origins, aforementioned brands as well as many others, have stratospheric marketing spend with which Cognac can conquer the spirits loving public globally.
Brandy Foundation
South African Brandy on the Rocks
During a presentation I did at Educvin in Burgundy last year, one of the winemakers said it was every so often necessary to take one's palate out of the comfort zone. "Electro-shock" he called it. Put something in your mouth that shakes, rattles and burns your flavour sensors, re-awakening them for the next period of wine tasting.
I don't know if this was what Yves had in mind, but I am partial to a double brandy-and-Coke poured to the ratio of a third brandy and two thirds Coke. This hefty dose of spirited sweetness is met with alarm by my cultivated tasting tools, having them cry out in anguish before they are ?+¦-+???+¦-ú?-¦?+¦-ú?+¦+¦ like their possessor ?+¦-+???+¦-ú?-¦?+¦-ú?+¦+¦ lulled into a lovely alcoholic comatose state.

Where Have We Been? MAZURKRAEMER Law Opens a Brick and Mortar Office in West Virginia
While I have always appreciated and embraced virtual working, our firm has finally opened up a physical, brick and mortar law office in Weirton, West Virginia. Click here to see a Flickr photo set of the new digs!
Where have I been? In July of 2011, after almost two years of solo practice, I seized an opportunity to help build a business practices group at one of Pittsburgh's largest law firms.
They say that entrepreneurism is like a siren call that you cannot ignore; I can relate to that. After 7 whirlwind months at the large firm, I decided to return to my solo practice and in true entrepreneurial spirit, sold our Pennsylania home (in 8 days), spotted a WV location for the law practice, and moved my family including two toddlers to Weirton, WV, my childhood hometown only 35 miles outside of Pittsburgh and 20 miles from the Pittsburgh International Airport. Whew- it has been a busy few months.
The built out of our sunny space took only 5 weeks. We love the space! It was 4 climate controlled storage units!
During the week, we split our time between Weirton and Pittsburgh. We meet clients on Pittsburgh's Southside by appointment only. Mark your calendar for our Grand Opening on Thursday, September 13,2012. Click Our Facebook Page RSVP Event Invite here. We hope to welcome you to our doors-bluegrass style. More details to follow.
What type of work am I still doing? We do business and bankruptcy law, both transactional and litigation and we love it. Stop by and see our new digs. I love to show off my first painting job ever (I spent over 40+ hours painting).
March 20, 2013 1:39 pm
My family all the time say that I am wasting my time here at
net, however I know I am getting familiarity everyday
by reading such nice posts.

For a few weeks now, we have been able to find some signs of the arrival of a new iPhone case inside iOS 12. The latest updates have been preparing the ground for the return of one of the most interesting accessories of the phone. Today, finally, users have already fulfilled their wishes in the form of a new page within the Apple Online Store that now announces the launch of a new version of the Smart Battery Case .
As of today, as they indicate in The Verge , it is already possible to acquire the revision of this accessory so famous and that so many adepts has achieved since its first version. The Smart Battery Case has managed to convince those who do not mind sacrificing the design of the iPhone to achieve more autonomy and protection. Now, users of the iPhone XS, XS Max and XR can already enjoy the same advantages with this new release that will begin to be delivered from next week.
Like its predecessors, the Smart Battery Case is characterized by its intelligent battery management, which works with iOS to achieve maximum performance of the additional battery that integrates the case. However, and although they could have taken a simple adaptation of the case to the design of the new iPhone, they also integrate some new features such as compatibility with wireless charging, which allows charging the phone and the case at the same time.

When it comes to boots, we think that these are one of those wardrobe essentials, which can be worn irrespective of shape, height, or weight. This is only partially true, as it turns out that there are boot styles, which flatter certain body structures better than others. This may at first seem disappointing, as it could create an opinion in your mind that you mustn't wear a particular boot if you are slender, tall, petite and so on. On the contrary, it just positively means that there are options out there, which will make you look even greater than before.
So girls, watch this video to know which boot suits your body type

Authority Magazine recently interviewed Blu Lotus Founder Sabrina Ram for its Publicist Rockstars series. In addition to talking about entrepreneurship, networking and her career, Ram offers tips for people considering a job in public relations.
I had the opportunity to do PR for a Philadelphia-based nonprofit's annual community event.

Weird around you ♥
"I feel really assured by the fact that the women I have loved I have loved for always."
Alain Badiou
Have you ever wondered what 'love' really means? Is it just a word? Is it more than a feeling? In japanese culture, they say that women who are young and who have never felt what love is, have real thin necks. #fact
Some people write feelings, some speak through photography, some speak them out. Some. . hold them in and hope somebody will make them sparkle. Some do, but some don't. But how many wonder about what feelings really are?
In nowadays society, nothing is authentic anymore. They all feel love, but feel nothing when it ends. They all are sad, but at the first joy act like that would be a routine. They all are too busy to listen to somebody who is truly sad, cuz they have their own, but when they find a chance, they hold to it and hang on, sucking the life out of everything. Nobody wants to die, but some have to.
For some to live, other must strive. For some to be rich, others must make sacrifices. They say no one is alone, but no one understands, unless it's their pain. One grief can unlock another, and the story goes on.

Lighting up the courthouse
Glorie Thornton and Tony Jenkins visited with the Malvern Rotary Club on Wednesday, March 27, 2019 to promote efforts to bring back a Christmas Lighting event to the Hot Spring County Courthouse.
Thornton said she, and Jenkins along with Malvern Mayor Brenda Weldon; Sheri Oden, juvenile probation officer, Rachel Bearden, county agent, and Olivia Santillan, Farmers Bank and Trust formed a committee to raise money for decorations on the courthouse, as a legacy for future generations.
The first event the committee has scheduled is Dorey's Catering Catfish and Chicken on Friday, April 5, 2019 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Hot Spring County Courthouse Pavilion. Tickets are $11 each, which include four pieces of fish or chicken (or mixed), fries, slaw, hushpuppies and drink. Tickets may be purchased at the Malvern Mayor's office, Hot Spring County Treasure's office or Malvern Insurance, call (501) 627-4547, (501) 815-2383 or (501) 732-0408 for more information or to purchase tickets. Thornton said tables will be available for anyone wishing to eat at the courthouse.
Thornton stressed the need for businesses, corporations and volunteers in the community to make this endeavor work. She said when the committee began looking at the cost of purchasing the lighting for the courthouse lighting, they realized the county did not have the funds to purchase such decorations.
Thornton said she has contacted other counties and inquired about the process they used for their decorations funding. She said other counties said the county did not have the money to fund the purchase of decorations. Other counties funded its Christmas decorations by donations and fundraising.
"It up to the community, the people to see this through," said Thornton. "If you want this to happen for our community, then we've got to all get involved."
Thornton said the committee would like to have a Christmas Tree lighting ceremony the evening of the Malvern Christmas Parade. She also said that ideally they would prefer to have an artificial tree
Christmas Tree. Expensive. Thornton said she spoke with Ross Whipple, and there is a possibility that a tree can be acquired from the Ross Foundation this year.
She also said that the lights (industrial) costs $1 to $1.50 per foot.
She said during the proposed lighting ceremony the committee would like to have vendors, such as businesses, civic groups and banks on the courthouse lawn to serve hot chocolate and coffee. The group also thought that having choirs from county schools come together and sing songs around the courthouse would be a nice addition.
Thornton said, Bearden has spoken to local FFA programs about possibly building decorations for the event.
And of course, a lighting ceremony wouldn't be right without the Jolly Red Fellow "Santa Claus", who will greet guests in the courthouse pavilion.
"We're working together as a committee," said Thornton. "That's what it's going to take, all of us coming together to do something to be proud of for Hot Spring County."
Another Dorey's Catering fundraiser is scheduled for September 27, 2019..

Film studio
Clip makers, video bloggers, screenwriters, soundtrack, teaser??? For someone, these words are not yet understood, but not for the generation Z! They are completely part of the vocabulary of daily communication among young people. In order to be on the "one wave" with the youth it is necessary to understand the nuances of slang!
The team of the French language camp Club Lumière actively uses the work with video. As usual, it is necessary to set pedagogical and linguistic goals in this work.
So, we start with the search for ideas for the clips, " short films", advertising clips, news. "Brainstorming" in the group gives a lot of interesting ideas and an approximate implementation plan.
The stage of script writing, character development and the distribution of roles in the "cinematic team" occupies a special place. It is here that the linguistic component is actively introduced: the description of the characters, the definition of the place of action, the preparation of dialogues, the work in groups. At this stage our teachers from France are very active. It must be said that there is clearly an informal communication with native speakers, joint activities, natural communication.
We turn to shoot. Due to the presence of the necessary equipment in the camp, as well as smartphones in children, the shooting process is conducted in an atmosphere of teamwork. The concepts of "background", "foreground", "change of frame priorities", etc. are worked out. Children are not afraid to take several takes for each scene, since after the shooting time of editing the video material comes.
Using various editing programs, this process passes quickly and does not cause any special difficulties. Especially our animators are always there and take the initiative in their own hands, helping children understand the "tricks" of the editing work.
And, probably, the most fun step of creating a video, the stage of scoring. Work with pronunciation, with intonation, with imitation of voice, with musical accompaniment.
The video is ready! You can view and make some corrections and changes in editing and scoring, if necessary. We save in the required format and are preparing to present it at the evening show for the whole camp.
At first glance, the whole process of working with creating a video can seem long and routine. However, children and animators become one cohesive team, absorbed in this work, that, sometimes, they do not notice how time passed and there is already a result.
So, the motor! We shoot! Film, film, film!

Check Out What Previous HCG Plus Customers Experienced
"I have been using HCG Plus for some time now, and am so happy with the success it's brought. I'm
down 50 lbs
after only one regimen. This stuff is definitely real hcg."
"After a year of using HCG Plus off and on (breaks in between) I have been able to lose
over 100 lbs!
I absolutely adore your product."
"I just wanted to thank you guys directly. After only 35 days I'm down 37 lbs! That is way more than I've experienced with fake homeopathic drops. You guys are awesome."
"I love HCG Plus and have used it several times. I've lost around 40 lbs so far, but on my most recent order there was some mix up and I only received one bottle instead of two. The customer service staff was really great though, and corrected the problem within only 24 hours after they confirmed the error."
"I began using HCG Plus along with the HCG diet program awhile ago, but I must admit my skepticism going in. However, my husband has
lost 35 lbs
after only one go (one bottle). I have lost over 30 pounds myself as well! Thank you guys for all you do. Friends have already been ordering from your site."
"Gosh there are seriously so many bogus products out there right now, and none of them contain HCG! I was really happy to find you guys. So far I'm down 15 pounds already within the first 4 days, and have nothing but good things to say. I'm really happy I found real HCG after so much searching."

When my plane landed in Nantucket, Glen Weimer, my host was still with a client doing body work, so I couldn't go straight to his home. Instead, I caught a taxi to the Family Resource Center, (20 Vesper Lane, L-1 Gouin, Nantucket MA). Here a Mindful Meditation Group was going to meet and I thought it would be a good way to unwind and relax after a day of flying. The room we met in was set up for an Alcoholics Anonymous 12 step program. the 12th step was "Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions." In some ways Buddhist teachings are similar to the 12 steps. Buddhist thought holds that craving leads to suffering (the second noble truth). Twenty-five hundred years ago the Buddha taught that snippets of addiction, constantly wanting, ever craving this or that, are the source of all human suffering. This craving can be reduced and eventually eliminated.
There were just two of us sitting in. The woman across from me had her fists clenched the whole time as Lama Yesha Palmo explained the meditation process. This was the first time I had practiced with someone in full robes. A candle was lit and we sat quietly. I sketched before and after the meditation. I consider sketching my form of meditation. Birds chirped outside and a dog barked a few blocks away. For once my body didn't ache and as I finished the sketch I felt a bit of peace. The session ended with the sound of a meditation bowl humming from the wooden mallet circling it's rim.
I would have left feeling satisfied, but afterwards the Yesha asked questions about our experience. The woman across from me also felt some contentment but she was told that she wasn't meditating properly. Apparently inner sensations must all be let go. I kept my mouth closed, I didn't need my experience to be criticized. I was far to new to meditation to have my experience picked apart and dissected. When I was finally let back out into the world with my suitcase in tow, the sun felt good on my face and the breeze kept me cool. I didn't need so much structure to appreciate it.
I hadn't seen Glen since the early 90s. He pulled up in his car and we hugged warmly. It was amazing to see the life he had built for himself on this tiny New England island.

Resigning the wrong thing to do in leaked tape
Republican Assemblyman Mike "Spanky" Duvall's decision to resign over his open-mike bragging about his sexcapades with a Sacramento lobbyist was one of the dumbest moves I've ever seen.
The minute his fellow Republican seatmate heard Duvall's comments, he should have gone to his party's leadership and told them. The leadership should then have called in Duvall, stripped him of his committee assignments and thus taken the sting out of what was bound to be an embarrassing situation.
Instead, Duvall was a sitting duck when the tape was leaked.
I know the leak didn't come from the Democratic side. For one, Assembly Speaker Karen Bass didn't even know about the tape until she got a call from the "Today" show.
If the Democrats did have the tape, they would have kept it undercover until October 2010, when Duvall was in the middle of his re-election campaign in Orange County, then released it and blown him out of the water.
Duvall's resignation means there will be no investigation into what was going on between him and the lobbyist, which means lawmakers will have a doubly tough time winning back public confidence in the Legislature.
As for why it was dumb for Duvall to resign without a fight?
Think about it. Where is he going to go? He can't go home, that's for sure. His wife will kill him.
President Obama's big speech on health care was just like the town hall meetings on the issue: too long, and filled with crazies.
First you have the guy from South Carolina who yelled, "You lie!" Then there were those Republicans waving paper whenever they disagreed with something Obama said.
Where did they think they were, Parliament?
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi got all the cues right, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid looked like a deer in the headlights. He kept trying to follow Nancy's lead on when to clap and when to stand, but he was consistently one beat behind.
The speech itself was more of a lecture, not one of Obama's best, but he did have his moments. Like when he quoted Republican Sen. John McCain, then paused and looked right over at him, giving the cameras time to focus on McCain and forcing him to stand up and take a bow.
Very clever.
We have our first 49er postgame show today on Comcast TV. My partner on the show, Gary Radnich, refuses to read the teleprompter, and my eyes are so bad, I can't see it. Ought to make for an interesting show.
I missed the Symphony opening Wednesday night, but I did make it to the annual Chinese for Affirmative Action event at the St. Francis. If you're an office-holder in San Francisco or want to be one, it's a must-attend.
Then it was off to the Landsmen's dinner at the Alexandria Room of the St. Francis, honoring the charitable contributions of Marc Corsi and Gene Daly. U.S. Attorney Joe Russoniello was there, along with retired Court of Appeals Judge Harry Low, former KTVU General Manager Kevin O'Brien and a whole batch of heavy hitters.
It was a great night, full of jokes and stories. I'd love to tell a few here, but they were so off-color even Open Mike Duvall would blush.
The only question I have about Van Jones' resignation as the White House green czar is why didn't they call me before they hired him. You would think that, as part of the vetting process, they would have called the mayor of the city where he was from.
I would have said, "Yeah, I know a lot about him. He's really a pain in the ass. When he ran Bay Area PoliceWatch, he slanted every case to make the cops look as bad as possible. And while he might be talented enough, he's totally and completely unreliable."
I was invited over to Contra Costa County the other day for a meeting out at Bishop Ranch with all the mayors of that wonderful county.
They wanted to know how best to lobby the Legislature to ward off all these budget cuts.
I told them my fee was $1,000 an hour.

After studying art at Bennington College, I moved to New Mexico to make paintings in an adobe studio in the desert; the solitude, however, left me restless, so I came home to New York City. Interested in building, I got a job working as a site manager for a construction company in Tribeca. The process of tearing industrial spaces down to their skeletons, then reconfiguring them with a new architectural vision struck me as the embodiment of art in practice. Around that time, a playwright friend asked me to design and build sets for plays he was producing on Ludlow Street, the home of an underground theater scene that has since given way to the "boutiqueing" of the Lower East Side. Back then the street gave voice and vision to burgeoning theater artists. Exhilarated by the collaborative aspects of theater, I immersed myself in the world I had been raised in. My mother, an actress, and my father, a filmmaker and photographer who documented the formation of hip-hop in the early eighties, bringing me to B boy contests where I would watch on, rapt at the spectacle and the thrill of the performance (and possibly taking note of the linoleum the dancers spun on).
Andromache Chalfant is a set designer for theater and opera. She attended NYU Tisch School of the Arts where she trained with Paul Steinberg, John Conklin, Eduardo Sicango and Susan Hilferty, earning her Masters Degree in Set Design.
In 2006 she collaborated with Mark Wing-Davey on the premiere of Jose Rivera's School of the Americas for The Public Theater. She has been nominated 2 times for a Henry Hewes Award for Outstanding Set Design. Other New York credits include designs for Playwrights Horizons, Second Stage Theater, The Public Theater, MCC Theater, New York Theater Workshop, The Vineyard, Gotham Chamber Opera and The Play Company. In 2009 she collaborated with director/choreographer Doug Varone on Charles Gounod's Faust for Minnesota Opera. Other regional credits include designs for The Old Globe, American Repertory Theater, McCarter Theater, Minnesota Opera, Opera Omaha, Opera Boston, Virginia Opera, Arena Stage, Westport County Playhouse, Kansas City Repertory, Hartford Stage, Actors Theater of Louisville and The Williamstown Theater Festival.
Andromache has collaborated with such theater artists as Les Waters, Trip Cullman, Evan Cabnet, Danny Hoch, Jose Rivera, Sarah Ruhl, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Rinde Eckert, Zelda Fichandler, Liesl Tommy, Moises Kaufman, Brian Mertes, David Schwimmer and Blind Summit Theater director Mark Down. She is a company member of Labyrinth Theater Company and an associate artist for The Civilians based in New York. She has been a guest lecturer at Sarah Lawrence and NYU Playwright's Horizons Theater School. She taught set design at Bennington College last Spring and is an adjunct member of the faculty in the graduate department of Design for Stage and Film at NYU Tisch School of the Arts.
Upcoming projects include the world premiere of Beth Henley's play LAUGH, directed by David Schweizer at the Studio Theater in DC and Reverberation by Matthew Lopez, directed by Maxwell Williams for Hartford Stage. In December El Gato Con Botas will be remounted at Museo Del Barrio, directed by Moises Kaufman. Andromache is also currently designing sets for a new multimedia work called Square Peg Round Hole by Andy Paris and Anushka Paris-Carter which centers around the subject of Autism for Tectonic Theater Company.
Andromache lives in Brooklyn with her husband and their daughter.

St John's School was arranging a Summer Concert with participants from the Junior School. It was planned by Mr Salmon, who is Eric's music teacher and was also his teacher in year 4. he is now in year 5. Eric participated in the concert by playing the guitar.
I was asked to take photos for the school, which is why I have included at least one photo of every participating student or group of students if it was a choir singing.
The concert took place on the 21 June in the School's Chapel.

I purchased this rock at an estate sale along with some rose quartz. The sellers had no information on it. My husband was able to break it today with a hammer, but I have no idea what the material is. I'm new to this and wanting to learn.
The outside looks like a regular grey rock and had a bit of "orange" peaking through so I decided to break it and see what was inside. I tried the knife test and it doesn't really scratch it (it's very light and when you wipe it off there are no scratch marks). It weighs 661 grams, I couldn't find a ruler to measure it though. There is a small thin part that broke off and when held to the light it's like a foggy clear ( you can see an item's shape and color but the image is foggy). I'm located in Washington state and purchased the rock here, but don't know if it's from this area.

Like all the most bewitching sins,
You overflow with vice –
Oh, let the merriment begin!
And don't skimp on the ice.
You comfort me when I am woeful,
And you meet my giddy grin,
You permit me to be social
Go on, pour the tonic in.
Sobriety is over rated –
Life with you has been sublime;
You know that I'm self-medicated:
Pour another gin and lime.
The Field
The swallows swoop, singing –
My foot gives the meter
The grain grows in chorus; Demeter's refrain.
I march each new furrow,
Attending the tiller,
Powered by petrol, no longer by hay:
I'll conquer this field by the end of the day.
I reap what was sown in
A more hopeful season:
I feel as they did in my forefathers' day.
The sun and the sweat
And the flies are the backdrop
The reaping's fulfilling, in back-breaking way:
I'll conquer this field by the end of the day.
If you enjoyed this Poetic Interlude, please consider buying a copy of my e-book, Patchwork Narrative, for more of the same!

Cameron University's Department of Theatre Arts is pleased to announce its 2015-16 season, "Celebrating the Magic of the Classics!" The department will present a surrealist melodrama, two classic satires by Molière, a farce, and a musical comedy. Season tickets are available for $35 for adults and $30 for senior citizens, military, non-Cameron students and Cameron faculty/staff. To purchase season tickets, contact the Cameron University Department of Theatre Arts at (580) 581-2346. Cameron University students are admitted to theatre productions at no charge with Cameron ID.
The season kicks off from October 1-4 with "The Breasts of Tiresias" by Guillaume Apollinaire, who coined the word "surrealist" in his preface to the play. The production will serve as Cameron's entry in the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival. Written in 1903, "The Breasts of Tiresias" is a whirlwind of images and dialogue. Tired of life as a submissive wife and unwilling to bear children, Thérèse decides to become a man. Her breasts float away like two balloons, and she is renamed Tiresias. Her abandoned husband, striving for wealth, gives birth to over 40,000 children all in one afternoon as children become commodities. In the end, the husband and wife relent their positions on childbearing and are reunited. Warning: This production contains material that certain people may find objectionable.
Two classic one-acts by a comedic genius take center-stage from November 19-22 as "The Magic of Molière" features "The Pretentious Young Ladies" and "The Miser." Both plays focus on love. "The Pretentious Young Ladies" is a biting comedy of manners. Two young ladies are seeking their future mates. They spurn their father's selections, so the jilted suitors send their servants to woo them, and of course the young ladies fall for these new candidates. In the second, an elderly man has been cultivating his bride only to have her stolen away by a more age appropriate suitor.
From February 18-21, the 1925 Noel Coward farce "Fallen Angels" presents the story of two wealthy British women who are tempted by the return of a Frenchman who once bedded both of them. The champagne-bubbly, dryly witty romp about the foibles of the British upper class also deals with such universal themes as the lure of lustful sex, marriages gone stale, the nature of commitment, and the sexual double standard, so the story remains relevant.
The season concludes from April 21-24 with "The Pajama Game," a musical that deals with labor troubles in a pajama factory, where workers' demands for a seven-and-a-half cent raise are going unheeded. In the midst of this ordeal, love blossoms between Babe, the grievance committee head, and Sid, the new factory superintendent. It features popular songs such as "Hey There," "Steam Heat," and "Hernando's Hide-a-way." Cameron's annual musical theatre productions are supported by the Richard T. Brittingham Musical Theatre Endowed Lectureship.
Shows on Thursday, Friday and Saturday will begin at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday performances start at 2 p.m.
Cameron's Department of Theatre Arts is a member of the Oklahoma Community Theatre Association.
