Services that we offer
I thought that web design is expensive. I assumed that only large companies with millions of dollars can afford a website. Thanks to these guys, I learned that I can allocate a portion of my earnings to create and maintain the site. The boost in sales justifies the investment that I apportioned to the skills of their team.
I have a personal tech blog about phones, devices, and other products. I understand technology. But I am not equipped with the right tools to market my reviews. I tapped this company's services. They helped me with the restructuring of my website and the promotion of my blogs on the right platforms.
I own a travel agency in the Netherlands. I did not know how to start the business. I approach this company and asked for help. They guided me with the proper techniques to market Amsterdam city trips and Amsterdam canal tours. Now, I have customers booking trips and passes all year round.

Erudite: Singer-songwriter Danny Sorentino picks up a few quick tips before heading out.
On the Town
Danny Sorentino chases the vibe on an all-night tour of his favorite local spots
"No loitering--sidewalk closes at night," reads the large red sign outside of A'Roma Roasters in Santa Rosa. Scurrying up the sidewalk on a recent warm Saturday night, I try not to look loiter-like as I hurtle toward A'Roma's front entrance. It's about 8:30pm, and Danny Sorentino leans out from the light-filled doorway to greet me. "Hey. Not a bad crowd for so early in the evening," he pronounces, ushering me in.
The place is indeed reasonably well-occupied, with a mix of coffee-sipping young people of the teens-and-20s variety, many with meticulous bleached-blond Mohawks or dangly-twinkly piercings, and a lot of colorful over-20s running the gamut from balding chess players and laptop cowboys to pony-tailed hipsters here to be hypnotized by the music of the live band. Tonight, the featured act is the Alexis Harte Band, a tight Americana-folk foursome from Berkeley playing in a cramped corner of the coffeehouse.
"So, have you heard of these guys?" I ask Sorentino.
He shakes his head.
"They have a nice Dave Matthews thing going," he observes, "with the fiddle and the guitar and drums, and their drummer's using a cocktail drum set. Very cool. Let's grab some drinks, then we'll find a table."
With that, we get in line for a cup of coffee.
We'll need the caffeine, because A'Roma's is just the first of five live music establishments Sorentino and I will be visiting between now and midnight, just a small sampling, selected by Sorentino, of the diverse music and dancing scene that exists, mostly without cover charge, in the North Bay.
A longtime fixture of the Bay Area music scene, Danny Sorentino is practically my relative, his wife being the sister of the wife of my wife's brother. He's also co-host with Doug Smith of KRSH 95.9-FM's Friday morning show DS Squared, a funny, thrust-and-parry preweekend sneak peek at live musical events around the Bay Area.
But more to the point, his enduringly popular roots-rock band the Sorentinos have performed hundreds of shows in this area, recorded boxloads of CDs and been featured in numerous movies and television shows (90210, anybody?). Having appeared all over Northern California and beyond, the Sorentinos have opened for acts like Peter Frampton, Chicago, Bob Dylan and Hootie and the Blowfish, and will be touring Europe this fall in support of their new CD, Love and Haight (Jackalope).
In short, Sorentino knows his musical way around the county. Over the years, he has accumulated a stunning wealth of knowledge about what it takes to have a good time when searching for live music, mostly for free. From the perspective of a performer and a consumer, Sorentino has developed an expert's eye as to what's cool--and what isn't.
He likes the vibe at A'Roma, the one local venue where his teenage kids can actually come hear him play. "This is a very user-friendly place," he says. And from a musician's perspective, it's evidently a good place to try out new material. "For one thing, there are no TVs with the sports channel on," he says, waiting to speak until the band is between songs. "That's my one pet peeve-- TVs turned on when the band is trying to play. Bugs the hell out of me."
We listen to the next three tunes, after which Sorentino, noticing that the band's tip jar has only one $5 bill in it, scopes out a more rominent location for the jar and boldly relocates it to a spot closer to the band.
"No one's making a lot of money in this business," he remarks, signaling that it's time to head out to our next spot. "Most musical artists in this area all work on spec; they work for nothing or next to nothing, hoping something big will happen someday. These guys are good, they're way above average, but if they're going to work in this area, they'll need all the help they can get."
Out in the parking lot, we stop to plot out the plan for the rest of our night. The good news, Sorentino explains, is that it's never hard to find great live music somewhere in the North Bay on your average Saturday night.
"There are a lot of people out there who play," he says, "and a lot of it is pretty high quality. It's not like it was back in the '70s and late '80s, but it's good."
The local scene in the '70s is now the stuff of legend, drawing people from San Francisco every weekend who were thrilled to soak up some of the energy generated by John Lee Hooker and Kate Wolf and Van Morrison; by Terry Garthwaite and Commander Cody and Jesse Colin Young and Perfect Crime; by Eddie B. Barlow and Lazy Bones and all the various member of the Grateful Dead. While today's local music scene may no longer shake the world the way it did 30 years ago, Sorentino believes that those legendary days are still having a positive impact on the North Bay.
"Those guys set the bar," he says, "and to this day, the basic level of musicianship in these counties is very, very high overall."
On the other hand . . .
"For musicians, back in those days," Sorentino continues, "there were just a lot more places to play, so you could actually make a living in this area, just playing in the Bay Area. There were places all over, and a lot of them continued until the late '80s. But now, forget it. Most of those places are gone. Most people can't make a living doing music in this area any more."
On the other other hand . . .
"The good thing," he says, "is that with fewer spots for bands to play, and a higher grade of local talent than you'd get in a lot of other places, you can almost always open up the paper and be able to find a good show somewhere close by."
With that, Sorentino suggests the Twin Oaks, on Redwood Highway near Petaluma, for our next stop.
"Who's playing tonight?" I ask.
"I have no idea," he laughs.
The parking lot of the Twin Oaks is jammed with semis, dozens of pickups and countless motorcycles. Led Zeppelin music oozes from the building's walls. The police sobriety checkpoint just up the road (thanks to which I am now the proud owner of a pamphlet entitled, "We Thank the Sober Driver--We Arrest the Rest") has apparently done little to discourage tonight's attendance.
"Now, if you've never been here before," Sorentino says, "you should know that the Twin Oaks is not a place you go for meaningful conversation. This is a bit of old Sonoma County, a place for country and rhythm and blues music, hard-drinking, have-some-fun music. A'Roma's, now that's a place where you might listen to the lyrics and actually entertain some intellectual notion about them. Here at the Twin Oaks, there's no such thing. People who come in here want to drink hard and they want to have some fun--fast. They want music that fits that vibe. I guarantee that whatever this band turns out to be, they're going to be very, uh, primal."
Clearly enjoying his tour-guide role, he holds the door open. "Welcome to the classic American blue-collar bar! Notice that the pool table is the primary decorative centerpiece, and that there is not one but several television sets, all tuned to sports stations. That one has rodeo!" he marvels. Our fellow patrons are a blend of bikers and dairy farmers, muscle-shirted youths and white-haired old-timers, livestock wranglers and beefy truck drivers. Not a Mohawk in the bunch.
The bartender informs us that tonight's band, currently on break after their first set, are a local group known as Road Hog and the Rippers. Sounds pretty primal to me.
Fifteen minutes later, the band are back from their break.
"Oh God, look at this!" Sorentino says in a low voice. "These guys are perfect!" Road Hogg and the Rippers look exactly like a motorcycle gang. Maybe they are a motorcycle gang, who knows--they're certainly jolly.
"Glad you all made it through the checkpoint," grins lead singer Bob Cuozzo, adding, "Hey! Can someone cut the jukebox, please?"
The Rippers' first tune is a cover of an old Rolling Stones song, and Sorentino hollers, "These guys are great!" After playing an original tune with the refrain "Let's burn it down! Let's burn it down!" they slide into an excellent cover of George Thorogood's "Bad to the Bone." A couple of songs later, Sorentino gives me the thumbs up; it's time to move on.
Once outside, he says, "Man! These guys were good. But hey, look at 'em. If they're not good, who's gonna tell them? Not me!"
"So what's next?" I ask.
"Now, for something completely different," he says. "Next stop, the Black Cat."
The Black Cat, in downtown Penngrove, used to be called Kelly's Bar, another old Sonoma County saloon for serious drinkers, but the place changed hands a few years ago and was soon transformed into something a little different--and a lot more entertaining.
"The Black Cat is basically a very cool lesbian bar," Sorentino explains, outside the establishment's back door, "but it's a really laid-back, open lesbian bar. I hosted an open mic night here last month. Great vibe. The crowd was totally, totally fun, totally cool, a lot of couples. I love it here."
It's about 10:30pm now, but the place isn't very full, only about 10 or so people, in all three of the basic gender-coupling combinations. There are two TVs, one that seems to play only commercials and the other tuned to the Food Channel. Iron Chef is on.
Unfortunately, we've arrived on a night when no live music is offered; we should have been here Friday. Tonight, the Black Cat is featuring an '80s-oriented DJ from Santa Rosa's weekly Rock 'n' Roll Sunday School gig spinning a dance-heavy groove officially titled Saturday Service. As we find seats at the bar, a strobe light hits the dance floor, and the invisible DJ cranks up the Cars' "My Best Friend's Girl," followed by Roxy Music's "Love Is the Drug."
"You know, the Black Cat is less than a mile away from the Twin Oaks," Sorentino notes, "but it's a completely different world."
He orders us a couple of pints, for which we are charged a total of five bucks. "Five bucks for two Pabst Blue Ribbons," he toasts. "How can you beat that?"
Now we're listening to the Human League's "Don't You Want Me," which proves so exciting a lure that, a few seconds later, the bartender is out on the dance floor shaking it.
"Like I said, the Black Cat is very relaxed," shrugs Sorentino. "It's just an easygoing place to hang out and have a good time. Look, even the bartender is having a good time. You put another 20 people in this place, and it'd be a fuckin' scream."
The Cotati hub, a few miles north of Penngrove, is a kind of musical magic triangle, formed by Spancky's ("Mostly cover bands playing ZZ Top biker music," says Sorentino); Sweet Lou's Italian restaurant, featuring a small attached jazz club; and the landmark bar and music spot, the Tradewinds.
We head for the Tradewinds.
Holding court tonight is the Jody Counter Band, who pretty much own the fourth Saturday of the month at "the 'Winds," as it's known to regulars. A popular spot for live music, the 'Winds focuses on offering solid R&B music and good straight-ahead rock 'n' roll. Jody Counter is an exceptional guitarist whose monthly appearance here attracts a lot of appreciative fellow musicians.
"In my opinion, this is the best bar in the county for top-notch, original rock 'n' roll music," Sorentino says, shouting to be heard above the music. "The Tradewinds is one of my favorite spots in the county--maybe because I played some of my first gigs here."
The Counter band have just played a cover of Dire Straits' "Sultans of Swing." On the final chord, the crowd explodes in approval.
"He just pulled off a perfect, note-for-note rendition of that guitar solo!" says Sorentino, pointing to Counter. "Look at all these people. They know they just heard something pretty great."
A number of dancers, maybe a dozen or so, have been showing their appreciation by rocking out wherever they can find the space to do so. One exuberant dancer is doing her thing so close to the band that she keeps coming within striking range of the bass player's swinging guitar.
As the band slides into the opening chords of AC/DC's "Live Wire," the Woman Who Dances Too Close again begins to leap and lurch her way up and around the band, punching her fist in the air, pulling so close that someone steps up to move her away, and when that fails, simply picks her gently up, draping her over his shoulder, and carries her to the back of the room, where she starts dancing again as if nothing happened.
"Wow!" Sorentino shouts, as the song comes its rousing rowdy conclusion. "How can someone not love this?"
At 11:30pm, we're back on the sidewalk, where loitering actually seems to be encouraged. The scene is electric and alive, with people talking, singing and hanging out. It's the natural environment created when you have three decent music spots within a few dozen yards of each other.
"Check it out now," says Sorentino. "We've been to four places in three hours, and we have yet to be asked to pay a cover charge. I wanted to show that, though there may be a lot fewer clubs than there used to be, you can still go out any weekend and hear some really great music--for free!"
We're about to break the cycle, because now Sorentino is curious about the scene over at Sweet Lou's, where a rap/funk/hip-hop/reggae band called Fish Out of Water are playing. For that we'll cough up five bucks apiece. But right now, Sorentino has one last point to make.
"Even though, earlier in the night, I was sounding like the voice of doom and gloom," he says, "even though I think it is true that there are not as many places to play as there once were in this area, I think we've proved that, as far as the music-loving audience is concerned, anyone has a pretty good shot at going out, just like we did, to see whoever's playing and falling into whatever kind of vibe you want to fall into.
"If you're a blue-collar guy, there's the Twin Oaks. You're a college kid from SSU, you can go to A'Roma's or come to Sweet Lou's. There are plenty of places to fall in and find some good music.
"And tonight," he grins, starting across the street to hear more music, "we've just scratched the surface."

UOW Film Society Screening: PARTY ANIMAL + ONE NIGHT MORE - [LONDON PREMIERE]
The University of Westminster Film Society
Tuesday, 12 December 2017 from 18:00 to 21:00 (GMT)
Event Details
UOW Film Society Presents In Association with Holder Films / LPE Films: "ONE NIGHT MORE" + "PARTY ANIMAL"
UOW Film Society is proud to present, In Association with LPE Films & Louis Holder Films - the London Premiere of "ONE NIGHT MORE", an ambitious micro-budget independent feature film, with development and pre-production commencing in Early 2016 and filmed over the course of Summer by a large mixture of first-time filmmakers and experienced professionals, from different backgrounds. The film stars emerging stage & screen actors Abigail Morgan and Amir Ebrahim, and features an ensemble of cameo performances, including John McInnes who featured in feature films DECLINE OF AN EMPIRE with Peter O'Toole and NARCISSISTS with Jack Hawkins and Kevin Mathurin.
We'll be screening short comedy-drama film; Party Animal before One Night More. Party Animal is a short independent co-production with Westminster Film School. The film was shot on-location in Merseyside, and features a host of established and emerging talent including Heather Carter-Drake (THE FIFTH ELEMENT, EYES WIDE SHUT, SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE), Filmmaker/Actor Jason Imlach, Laura Brailsford, Freddie Merrydown, Blu Hardy and introducing Michael Oku as Finley.
Party Animal: Synopsis
A university student's first meeting with his in-laws turns from awkward to diastrous when he accidentally kills their pet dog at a Christmas party.
One Night More: Synopsis
An aspiring photographer has a chance encounter with a street performer who finds it challenging when his girlfriend's aspirations overwhelm his own insecurities.
It's a story of inner-city romance set in iconic London, and how two people can meet and change each others lives. We explore the complex relationship between an aspiring photographer and a dancer. The film gives a negative and perhaps melancholy perspective on love and attraction and how people at the end of the day just might not be attracted to one another, and must learn how to move onto the next thing; whatever that might entail.
The story isn't trying to say anything big or new in regards to romance other than subverting 'the young ideal' of being in a relationship which sees no lasting potential for the sake of fitting in.
About The Film
ONE NIGHT MORE, is an ultra-micro budget feature film shot in twelve days across London. The project's primary intention was to showcase a unique blend of emerging talent on a large-scale production, and to encourage other creatives to collaborate. The concept originally entailed a 'no budget' feature film to be made, however through the enthusiasm of the Cast & Crew onboard, we were able to raise £5,000 through a mixture of Indiegogo and Private Funding.
You can read more about the making of the film on One Night More's official website, and read the official cast and crew list here.
Director's Note
"We wanted to make a film that would inspire as many filmmakers as possible to make films, No matter the budget, limitations, even story; make something and surround yourself with a team you love. With this project, undoubtedly we were venturing into an unprecedented amount of work involved, but it was a risk that was well worth taking.

What is learning for sustainability?
Sustainability is the watchword of the 21st Century. Communities, business and all sectors of society are learning to think globally, act locally and learn our way to a green, just and democratic world. The Sustainability Certification program is deliberately experiential, inter-disciplinary and grounded in community practice as well as sustainability theory and professional development.
Courses in the program address four broad areas or Dimensions of Sustainability: World View, Economic, Social, and Ecological.
1. Ecological and Social Aspects of Ecovillage Design
2. Green Building and Retrofitting
3. Local Food
4. Appropriate Technology
5. Restoring Nature
1. Building Community & Embracing Diversity
2. Communication Skills: Conflict and Resolution
3. Personal Empowerment and Leadership
4. Health and Healing
5. Bioregionalism
1. Shifting the Global Economy to Sustainability
2. Right Livelihood
3. Nurturing Local Economies
4. Complementary Currencies
5. Legal and Financial Issues
1. Holistic Worldview
2. Listening to Nature
3. Awakening and Transformation of Consciousness
4. Celebrating Life: Creativity and Art
5. Spiritual Activism
The Program in Community Sustainability Studies is an Open Learning and Living Partner with Sustainable Neighborhoods and community organizations as a Gaia Education provider. Sustainable Clift*n (2007-2008) was one of these pilot projects (see archive). The Gaia Education program is designed to facilitate our acquiring the knowledge and the ability to take action for sustainability. Open Learning and Living is supported by Gaia Education and is based on the Gaia Education Ecovillage Design Curriculum - an official contribution to the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development 2005-2014., and the basis for the UNITAR Sustainable Settlements Design Certification.
The Certificate in Sustainability is a new program for community members as well as traditional and distance learners. We are working with the Gaia Education Curriculum and Louisville Living and Learning Network development partners to create a program which can meet UNITAR certification standards. In addition, we are developing a range of community based participatory study and action approaches in conjunction with the Community Communications programs of the Open Initiative, Adena Institute and numerous community partners.
The full Certificate in Sustainability will be awarded for completion of 120 contact hours, with a minimum of 20 contact hours in each of the four Dimensions of learning.
Continuing Education Units (CEU) credit will be awarded on the basis of one credit for every 10 contact hours.
Certificates of Completion will be offered to any learner who wishes for each individual course.
We hope you'll join us in this adventure in creating new community based models for learning and development for sustainability.
Fees: A basic processing fee of $10 per event will apply, though many community events are free and open to the public and low-income scholarships are available. Additional course tuition and fees may apply, depending on the particular course.
You are invited:
Community Learners are encouraged to participate in any of the courses which might meet your learning needs. Please let us know what courses or learning opportunities might be useful to you or your organization, business or community.
Educators and Community Resource Partners: In addition, we are sincerely interested in developing courses and learning partnerships which go beyond those outlined here. We welcome submissions of proposals for courses or other learning opportunities and partnerships.
If you have questions or suggestions, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you.

And why does he spend every free moment at the warehouse standing by the river, staring across the water at Ground Zero? Because Dr. Ellis has a plan: he's going to make 9/11 "unhappen."

by Robert Kroese
A fearsome dragon roams the Land of Dis, and only one man can stop it: an awkward young missionary named Wyngalf.
Accompanied by a beautiful stowaway named Evena and an oddball goblin who has been shunned by his clan, Wyngalf wants nothing more than to prove himself to his superiors in the Church of the Noninity. But Wyngalf is continually thwarted in his attempts to proselytize by various practical concerns–chief among these being the fact that the land of Dis is being terrorized by a fearsome dragon. Wyngalf realizes that in order to prove his faith and get Evena home, he must summon the courage and resourcefulness to defeat the dragon. But what if his faith isn't enough?
At turns riveting, hilarious and sweet, Distopia is perfect for fans of Terry Pratchett and The Princess Bride.

The Arch of Avooblis
by Charles Streams
Can a rogue be a hero?

When Dagdron is accused of stealing the Arch of Avooblis, he and his ever-honorable roommate, Earl, embark on a quest to recover the magical crystal.

Frank Herfort
Artist Bio
Frank Herfort, a young German photographer, who lives and works in Russia and Germany, spent his youth in Leipzig (German Democratic Republic). His style is influenced by social realism: People are shown in their everyday life, which seems to be made up by banal details. Urban areas are captured in their vast dimensions. At a first quick glance this appears to be a simply frank, straightforward and clear reflection of 'reality'. A longer reception reveals that this depiction can be seen as ironic, questioning and hyper-real. During his time as a photography student at Hamburg art school he continuously assisted Gulliver Theis. In addition, he worked as an assistant and freelancer in London while he participated in a scholarship programme. Through that he familiarized himself with the professional working process. Flexibility, diligence, conscientiousness and clarity are his strengths while dealing with clients. Over the years, he acquired a range of different photography awards. His photographic expertise lies in the fields of people, architecture, interior and combinations of these. (bio)

Lomography to open east London store
Analogue photography brand Lomography is to open a new shop in east London, with interiors designed by company director Sally Bibawy.
The new shop, which opens on Commercial Street on 29 November, is the second Lomography store in the UK. The first is located near London's Carnaby Street and opened last year.
The shop's interiors will feature some common elements of the brand's worldwide stores, including display cases inspired by the wooden containers that the original Russian Lomo cameras were transported in from St Petersburg. For the east London store, the crates have been made hollow so they can be used as a window display.
Alongside an east London-inspired 'Lomowall' – a collage of photographs by staff and customers – the store will have a rawer feel than the Carnaby street branch to fit in with its location, says Lomography general manager in the UK Adam Scott.
The store will have neon lights and a textured cement floor with a polished finish, with the feel of an art gallery, says Scott.
Another new feature for the east London store will be a fully-functioning laboratory in the basement, which will have exposed ventilation pipes and allow customers to see the lab machinery.

New Canaan plans future of Bristow Sanctuary
A place to welcome both children and seniors to enjoy nature is what the Conservation Commission envisions for the Bristow Bird Sanctuary.
Enticing entrances, trails leading to destinations, a diversity of plants and a solid fence are a few of the projects the Conservation Commission wants to undertake in the preserve. The commissioners discussed putting in an entrance near the Mead Park playground to attract parents and children to enjoy the park.
The future of the preserve that abuts Mead Park, with an entrance on Old Stamford Road and another behind the ballfields, was discussed at the Conservation Commission meeting on Thursday, Sept 12.
In 2024, Bristow will celebrate its 100th anniversary and it seems fitting for park rehabilitation to be done by then, Conservation Commission Chairman Chris Schipper said.
"Our goal here is to have a master plan so we are in position to rehabilitate the preserve over the next few years," he said.
New Canaan's environmental consciousness — recently demonstrated by installing solar panels on town roofs and passing plastic bag regulations that are stricter than the state of Connecticut's — dates back to 1916, when the Bristow Bird Sanctuary and Wildwood Preserve was conceived.
"The seed of conservation in New Canaan began way back in 1916 when a group of concerned citizens got together to privately form and fund the Bird Protective Society of New Canaan," Conservation Commission Chairman Chris Schipper said.
"By 1924 they had accomplished the acquisition of 16.8 acres, which today is known as the Bristow Bird Sanctuary and Wildwood Preserve and thereby created the third oldest private bird sanctuary in the nation," Schipper said.
He showed a list of 140 birds that he said were spotted in the park in 1931. The park was nationally known and drew as many as 15,000 visitors in one year, commissioners agreed.
Destination trails
Landscape architect Keith Simpson presented plans for Bristow to the commission with a master plan to improve the park's visibility and make it more user-friendly. He included a breakdown of tasks over the next five years and emphasized the need for future maintenance once the park is back up to snuff.
He showed a GIS map of the park with trails that wander by various natural features such as a pond, a brook, a bog, and a hilltop. One trail is near the railroad tracks.
"I felt that if we were going to resurrect these trails," that "each of these trails deserved its own destination," he said.
"Along each of these trails we have found, almost waiting for us, begging for attention, a location which is very good for stopping and observing wildlife," he said.
"So when you walked a trail, you wouldn't simply walk to the end of it. Somewhere on the trail would be a carefully positioned place with some seating where you could stop, and if you quieted down, slowed down in life, take binoculars with you, you may have a really rich experience of looking at some wildlife by virtue of having gone on that trail," Simpson said.
Bristow is on a flyway for birds from north to south and south to north, could be a pollinator pathway and could be part of the greenlink in town, which is a program to link all the parks with sidewalks and paths.
The different types of topography "all invite a different kind of bird habitat," Simpson noted.
There is both a 66-page 1990 report done by Yale University and a 22-page report from Connecticut Audubon done on Bristow.
"There have been some absolutely outstanding technical reports produced and studies made on this property. In fact, I can't think of a property that I have worked on that has had as much valuable information put on the table in front of me," Simpsom said.
"I think what happened with their recommendation was frankly that they were so detailed" that "in some cases they were overwhelming," he said.
He hoped to avoid this problem in the future by breaking down projects with a schedule of 10 items to do every year for the next five years.
Some of these projects would be opening up trails, creating sitting areas, getting rid of invasive plants, getting greater diversity of plants, adding ferns, improving entrances to make them more welcoming, repairing fencing, thinning out tree cover, obtaining funds for the project and getting volunteers.
The park fence needs to be improved since the deer and area pets have created problems for bird nesting in the past, Simpson said.
Bristow is unique since it is in a densely populated area,"In the center of town where there is not a lot of 16-acre treed properties any more. It is heavenly," he said.
Charitable donations may be sent or gifted online to the New Canaan Community Foundation for the "Friends of Bristow" designated fund or mailed to NCCF at 111 Cherry Street, New Canaan, CT 06840.

Described as one of the most influential disabled people in Britain, Michael McGrath (pictured, left, with University of Hertfordshire Vice-Chancellor Quintin McKellar, right) was awarded a Doctor of Arts at a ceremony on Monday 3rd September, held at St Albans Abbey.
"I am incredibly humbled to receive this honorary doctorate from the University of Hertfordshire. Through the work of my charity and as a speaker, my disability has effectively become a passport for purpose, compassion and hope. My message to today's Computer Science graduates and young people across the country is simply this: with today's world of algorithms, artificial intelligence (AI) and the rapid advancement of technology, the discovery of your purpose is vital. Fundamentally, this is about how you contribute in giving that most precious of commodities, your time, to others; this is about embracing the ethic of reciprocity that states 'treat others as you would like to be treated yourself' and finally, this is about allowing the virtues of compassion, generosity and kindness to rise up as your personal and professional lives unfold. It is these virtues as opposed to today or tomorrow's technologies that lie at the centre of our humanity, what continues to motivate and ultimately what gives our lives meaning," said Michael in his address.
Michael, who lives in Buntingford, near Hertford, faced head-on the challenge of being diagnosed with muscular dystrophy at the age of eighteen and became the first disabled person to lead successful expeditions to both the North and South Poles – the North Pole in April 2002 and the South Pole in January 2004.
Since then, Michael has established the Hertfordshire-based charity, The Muscle Help Foundation, which helps children and young people with muscular dystrophy to realise their cherished ambitions – experiences in the UK called 'Muscle Dreams' that improve confidence, uplift self-esteem and give beneficiaries a voice. The Muscle Help Foundation is a three-times winner of the 'Inspiring Hertfordshire' Award for Best Social Enterprise of the Year.
"Many congratulations to Michael McGrath, our Founder and CEO, on behalf of the Board and my fellow Trustees. We are delighted that he has been awarded an Honorary Doctor of Arts (Hon DArt) from the University of Hertfordshire, in recognition of his motivational and inspirational work in the field of disability. He was invested on Monday 3rd September 2018 at St Albans Cathedral by Professor Quintin McKellar CBE, the University's Vice Chancellor" added Fay Sharpe, Chair of the Board of Trustees for the charity.
Michael is an internationally recognised motivational business speaker and has been widely acknowledged for his achievements and his work. Among other recognitions he has received, for the last three years he has featured in the Power 100 for Britain's most influential people with a disability and in 2016 he received the Inspiring Communicator National Award.

Just 2 Days To His Wedding, Landlord & His Children Stabs Man To Death In Imo State - Graphic Pics
A young man was stabbed to death in Owerri, the Imo State capital by his landlord and the landlord's children, just two days to the day he was supposed to get married. What an unfortunate thing to befall somebody who is at the verge of seeing happiness.
Udochukwu Malachi Iwuoha, from Agbaja in Nwangele, Imo state was supposed to have his traditional marriage today, but he was killed on Wednesday by landlord Paul Oparaugo and five out of his six children at No. 50 Onumonu Street in the Owerri between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m.
According to the neighbors of the deceased, Udochukwu had complained to his landlord about the chicken he was rearing behind his apartment and said that the smell was affecting his health but the landlord and his children took offense at the complaint and attacked him. They also stabbed another neighbor on the hand when he came in to rescue Udochukwu.
Following the attack, Paul, who works as a security personnel at a Guaranty Trust Bank in Owerri, and his children - Chiemezie, Ndubuisi, Ugochinyere (lady in the photo below), Chidera, and Deborah - all fled, while neighbors rushed in and took the injured man to the hospital. All hospitals refused to admit him without a police report and he eventually died.
The state Commissioner of Police, Chris Ezike, confirmed the incident and said that the suspects were on the run. He promised that they will be found and said that the case is being treated as a homicide.
The victim's brother, Geemoney Onuoha Gerald, took to Facebook to mourn his late brother and share photos of his dead body with the injuries inflicted on him.

The Broncos' offense that likes to do little else but run, run, run and run will have to do it without one of its top runners. Former first-round draft pick Knowshon Moreno's season is over after the tailback suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament Sunday at Kansas City, coach John Fox said Monday.
To fill Moreno's roster spot, the Broncos signed running back Jeremiah Johnson off their practice squad.
In their ideal scenario, the Broncos will go into Thursday night's home game against the New York Jets with starter Willis McGahee, backup Lance Ball and Johnson.
But McGahee's status remains tenuous because of a hamstring injury he suffered early in the first quarter of the Broncos' 17-10 victory over the Chiefs. McGahee, who is expected to practice today, was cleared to return to Sunday's game at Arrowhead Stadium but was held out in hopes that rest would help ensure a full recovery in time for him to play against the Jets.
"He's a guy we'd like to have healthy Thursday night," Fox said of McGahee.
And no wonder. McGahee has been among the NFL's best rushers, averaging more than 100 yards per start before he was injured Sunday. The Broncos fared just fine without McGahee and Mo-reno against Kansas City. Ball rushed 30 times for 96 yards — a big part of the team's total of 244 yards.
The shuffled tailback rotation will do little to change the run-first mentality, at least until an opposing defense finds a way to force the Broncos to pass, something neither the Raiders nor Chiefs could do in the past two games. The Broncos have averaged 40.7 rushes and only 24 passing attempts in the four games Tim Tebow has been their starting QB.
"We were looking for balance. We might have gone a little over the other edge," Fox said, laughing.
The knee injury is a major setback for Moreno, the No. 12 pick in the 2009 draft who has struggled to stay healthy. He didn't play in two games in September because of a hamstring injury and had been used primarily as a third-down back. He gained only 179 yards on 37 carries this season. But he was showing flashes Sunday of the potential he showed during his college days at Georgia, particularly when he hurdled Chiefs cornerback Brandon Flowers during a 24-yard run.
"He had that hamstring early in the season and battled back from that, and was getting back into the groove," Fox said. "He was having a really, really good day (at Kansas City). It's unfortunate. But he's tough-minded and will battle back from this."
Johnson is in his second year in the NFL but has yet to record a rushing attempt. He spent one week on the Broncos' active roster in mid-September, playing on special teams against Cincinnati.
But in his role as the scout team tailback, he has impressed Denver teammates and earned the trust of the coaching staff.
"The upside with Jeremiah is he's been with us," Fox said. "He knows the nomenclature, he knows the teammates. He's given our defense a real good look and been helpful in getting us better against the run."

Tale of the tailbacks
A look at the Broncos' running backs heading into Thursday night's home game against the New York Jets:
• Knowshon Moreno: Suffered season-ending knee injury Sunday in 17-10 win at Kansas City.
• Willis McGahee: Broncos' leading rusher suffered hamstring injury against the Chiefs and didn't play after the first quarter. Coach John Fox hopeful he will be good to to go Thursday.
• Lance Ball: Career backup gained 96 yards Sunday. Gets his first NFL start if McGahee is out.
• Jeremiah Johnson: Signed off practice squad Monday to take Moreno's spot on active roster.
More inaction for Moreno
Knowshon Moreno's season-ending knee injury, suffered Sunday at Kansas City, is the latest disappointment in his Broncos career:
• 2009 — Moreno, a first-round draft pick from Georgia, missed the start of his first training camp because of a contract holdout. Then he suffered a sprained knee during the first quarter of his first preseason game. The tailback missed the remainder of the preseason.
• 2010 — Moreno suffered a significant hamstring injury to each leg. The first injury happened on the first day of training camp, forcing Moreno to again miss an entire preseason. The other injury kept him out of three games during the first half of the season.
• 2011 — Moreno suffered a strained hamstring in the season opener at Oakland and the injury kept him out of the Week 2 game against Cincinnati. He dressed, but didn't play, the next week at Tennessee.

Commentary: Less prudes and more nudes, please
I've waited a few weeks for the dust to settle over the nude celebrity photo scandal because I wanted to see who the next casualty would be.
You can never be too cautious, especially if you have nude photos of yourself floating around in cyberspace — and don't we all?
Nude photos have become as American as income tax, Big Macs and the Macy's Columbus Day Parade — or whatever it is.
It turns out anyone could be the next victim of the scandal that shocked the nation, when some crazed hacker got into the personal files of more than 100 celebrities and violated their privacy by posting racy photos online of everyone from actress Jennifer Lawrence to supermodel Kate Upton and Mr. Ed.
Then, the barbarian hordes began sharing them on Twitter, spreading them around the world. Now, no one is safe. Not even Homer Simpson and Barney Rubble.
The FBI and the neighborhood geek
However, the FBI is on the case, which means we have nothing to fear but fear itself, not to mention the neighborhood geek hiding in his bedroom closet, waiting to hack your computer.
Actually, hacking is an American institution that was invented by the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover even before we had computers.
And although I don't have the notoriety of, say, Rin Tin Tin or Pee-Wee Herman, I want to be totally honest: There are nude photos of me out there.
Back naked on the changing table
Perhaps the most damning is the one where I'm lying buck naked on the table while my mother is changing my diaper, which is a pretty nasty sight, somewhat resembling the stables at Aqueduct after feeding time. Adding to the drama, there's a stream of pee cascading gracefully across the room and down the wall like the Trevi Fountain.
A photo like that could end a guy's career if it wasn't over already. Or someone could blackmail me to get my collection of postcards of the Naugatuck River Valley.
I've already paid dearly. This was worse than a nude selfie. You see, I had no control over the camera because some wise guy — could it have been my father? — took the picture when I was incapacitated.
I was a victim
I was a helpless infantile victim. That's a real invasion of privacy. What's this country coming to when a baby can't take a leak without some clown taking snapshots?
Things got worse when the photo was digitized and stored online with several other compromising images, including my senior prom photo where I'm wearing a tuxedo that has lapels wider than Dumbo's ears and a paisley tie that gave my girlfriend vertigo.
Actually, that was one photo where it would have been better if I didn't have clothes on.
A national pastime
Taking nude photos has become a national pastime, especially for people who want to get their names in supermarket tabloids.
Some celebrities and celebrity wannabes get so carried away they have their own sex tapes, which they release through third parties. Why do they do that anyway? Do they have emotional problems?
When you're a celebrity, it's perfectly acceptable to spend your day taking pictures of yourself, although some celebrities like actor Alec Baldwin go into an insane rage if a photographer approaches. Others, like Bruce Willis' daughter and the singer Rihanna, are angry because they can't share nude photos of themselves on social media.
You see, this is a very complicated issue that may require congressional oversight or psychoanalysis.
Celebrities and average people too
Of course, there are a lot of fake nude celebrity photos on the Internet because skilled technicians, working with Photoshop on their high school laptops exercise their creative instincts by putting Kim Kardashian's head on Hugh Jackman's body, or maybe Hugh Jackman's head on Selena Gomez's body — and no can tell what's real and what's not.
So, if you don't have any nude photos, you'd better get some — even if they belong to Barney Rubble — because you don't want to be left out of the discussion the next time you're at a cocktail party.
Why should celebrities have all the fun? In a decadent democratic society, it's our constitutional right to have our privacy invaded. After all, the government does that already.

In an earlier blog post, I discussed the concept of T-shaped marketing and how today's authors are using it to sell more books online. To briefly recap, your deep knowledge/ability (the stem of the T) is the content you've written about in your book(s) whereas the flat, horizontal part at the top represents the various other creative and analytical skills you can learn to best utilize the Internet in selling your book(s). Email marketing is one of the skills you can learn and use as part of your T-shaped marketing plan.
Books are perfect for email marketing. They go hand in hand. Why? Because email marketing is all about sharing, promoting, and selling information … and a book is an information product.
Here is a fantastic resource regarding email marketing (e.g., finding your perfect niche, setting up your opt-in page, getting email addresses, auto-responders, campaigns, statistics, you name it): The Circle of Profit by Anik Singal. It is a free .PDF that you can download, and it contains all the information you will ever need regarding how to run a successful email marketing business. I've read it three times, myself. I get something new out of it every time. That's how detailed it is.
After reading this book, I adopted email marketing as part of my overall T-shaped marketing strategy. I think you should, too. And I'll tell you why with this excerpt from Anik's book:
Who do you trust more: a friend or a stranger? The answer is obvious: Your friend. And when your email list subscribers start seeing you more as a friend than some random person sending them emails, you'll get the best response.
Email marketing allows you to reach people in a more direct and personal way than most other kinds of advertising and publicity can. This is your opportunity to really engage with your readers. Become their friend by letting them know a little more about you, the person, rather than just advertising your book(s) to them in an impersonal way. Spend some time getting to know them a little better, too, by replying to their emailed questions with thoughtful answers.
The readers who know and trust you will be your most responsive buyers each and every time you contact them to announce a new book. But this trust must be earned over time by providing quality, valuable content to your subscribers on a consistent basis so they stay engaged with you over the long term. Always remember there are no easy or quick fixes in the world of book sales and marketing.

text: I'm considering buying one of these, and was wondering if anyone on the forum has one or could offer any feedback on this bass. I love the feel and look of this bass. I normally play a '82 G&L L2000, which i absolutely love (and would be heartbroken if anything happened to it). But I'm looking for a nice, lightweight bass that I can gig/tour with that i don't have to worry too much about damaging or losing. However, It seems a little expensive for a japanese fender. I got my dealer down to 599 w/ a hs case...seems like an alright deal for a very nice playing bass. Any feedback on this bass would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Alternative dispute resolution and child custody
Informal negotiations, mediation, collaborative divorce and arbitration are all among the options available for a Minnesota couple who are divorcing and who have young children. Parents may be able to save time and money as well as retain more control over the final outcome if they use one of these methods instead of going to litigation. These approaches are also less adversarial.
How parents can agree on house rules after divorce
Minnesota parents who are ending their marriage will need to work out consistent household rules for their children. This can be important for children whose lives have been disrupted by the divorce. House rules should not become a battleground for parents who are trying to attack one another. There may be some rules that a parent is unwilling to compromise on, but knowing those ahead of time as well as where there might be flexibility can help when parents sit down to negotiate. They may also want to consider having older children participate in the conversation as well.
Shared parenting can help moms, dads and kids
Divorcing Minnesota parents and their children could all potentially benefit from a child custody model that expects both parents to maintain a full role in their children's lives following divorce. Shared parenting, a popular model for child custody around the world, can help more women to avoid poverty and remain active in the workforce while promoting closer relationships between fathers and children.
Tips for dealing with a toxic co-parent
When a Minnesota parent of young children has just ended a marriage with a toxic partner, having to continue to deal with the ex can be difficult. However, there are certain things that parents who have to deal with a toxic co-parent can do to make the situation less stressful.
Modern fathers have an expanding parental role
Becoming a father represents a significant stage of life for men in Minnesota and around the country. Survey responses collected by the Pew Research Center in 2015 revealed that 57 percent of fathers consider their parental roles to be crucial to their identities, and 54 percent found fatherhood to be continually rewarding.
Child custody concerns loom large for immigrants
A number of undocumented immigrant families, fearing the impact of intensified deportation policies, have begun seeking advice to make custody plans for their citizen children. Across the Minnesota and the United States, law students and other volunteers have been assisting immigrants with creating paperwork to designate custody arrangements for their children in case of deportation.
Shared custody can benefit children's health
Shared parenting is increasingly preferred by both divorcing parents and courts in Minnesota and across the United States. While a preconception has existed for many years that mothers should receive custody of their children, the current ideal model involves both parents sharing equally in custody and decision-making for their children.
An alternative approach to joint custody
In the past, when Minnesota parents got a divorce, a judge might have awarded custody to the mother while the father might have had the children on certain weekends. This was often the pattern in child custody cases, but in more recent years, there has been a shift toward joint custody. Studies show that children usually thrive when having access to both parents. However, moving back and forth between households can be stressful for children. One possible solution is an arrangement called nesting.
Dealing with substance abuse during custody disputes
Minnesota parents who are no longer with their former partner due to the ex's drug or alcohol abuse may worry about their child's well-being, especially if that person has some visitation rights. Because the court will take substance abuse into consideration, these types of allegations can make a custody dispute more complex.

Babywearing (or baby carrying) is the best way to get outside as a new mom—this keeps your hands free and your baby near.
Which Babywearing Position Is Best?
A question I often get is which position way is the best way to carry my baby – Front Facing In (baby's face close to your chest with a frog-leg position) or Front Facing Out (baby's back close to your chest with legs dangling) and why?
The first part of the question is easy to answer: Front Facing In (FFI) is the best way to babywear your child. The second part is a bit more in depth and has to do with your baby's spine and hips (for the sake of this article, I'm going to refer to the baby as 'he').
Protect Your Baby's Spine While Babywearing
First, let's talk about the spine. If you look at an adult from the side, you'll see an "S" curve with the bump of the "S" making up the mid back curve. A baby, however, is born with a "C" curve! The "S" gets developed over time and it's necessary that it happen at its own pace.
How babywearing front facing out affects your baby's spine
Babywearing front facing out (FFO) forces the baby's spine up against the hard, almost inflexible breastbone of the adult who's holding him. It's similar to being backed up against a wall while hanging from a harness.
It's really difficult to move in this position and depending on how often and how long a baby is held front facing out, it can affect the development of his spine.
Spinal development is important because the spine protects the nervous system. The nervous system carries messages from the brain to the rest of the body, like a very intricate phone system.
Babywearing your baby FFO puts his back at an unnatural angle which puts more stress on his spine leading to over-stimulation of his nervous system. This over-stimulation can contribute to colic, constipation in children, or cause trouble sleeping.
Best Babywearing Position To Protect Your Baby's Hips
Another reason why it's better to carry your baby FFI is to protect his hips.
Before birth, your baby is in the aptly named fetal position for a few months. Once he's born, it can take several months for the hip joints to stretch out.
Why babywearing front facing out can hurt your baby's hips
Carrying your baby FFO forces his hip joints to stretch out too soon. This can lead to baby hip dysplasia (a deformation of the hips) or in extreme cases, dislocation. These two conditions are not painful for babies so they can go undetected.
Prematurely stretching the hip joints may also cause arthritis to develop in later years when the baby is an adult.
Babywearing your child front facing in is especially crucial during the first 6-8 months of life. It supports and protects his little spine and hips.
Most importantly, when you are babywearing FFI, it gives you the opportunity for extra cuddles throughout the day. There's nothing wrong with that!
