Only 5 days until the debut of my first radio show! I was reminded by the prominent milestone countdown widget on my Blog/News site.
Right now, I am going through feelings reminiscent of childhood. Like counting down to the first day of school after a long summer off. This is a new commitment to a regular routine, which I have not experienced for decades. No more taking off whenever I wish, or doing things only when I feel I am inspired. The clock ticks, I must come up with weekly topics, and enough material to interest and inspire my wonderful audience. It's like homework. Am I up for it? The anxiety of entering a higher grade level. What challenges will I encounter this year? Will I be good enough? But then, the excitement of meeting new friends, like-minded souls make me smile. Immerse in meaningful conversations, new inspiration, new possibilities! Together we will grow. Together we will seek out the unknown. That is the reason why I am doing this radio show!
At the meantime, back to the preparations. Are my school supplies all set to go? Have I figured out the settings for my microphone? Is there more I need to know about the internet studio? Is my room sound-deadening enough? Will the furniture be comfortable? Are my audio files ready? Is my script meaningful?
When the moment arrives, I will bank on divine guidance – just hope I will be relaxed enough to let it through! Qué sera sera, whatever will be will be… Who I am is enough.
Please come join me for my first episode "Expect A Miracle"! This Thursday, April 19 at 10:00am PST: www.blogtalkradio.com/superintelligencewellness
Call in! Let us discover together!

Crockpot Healing Bone Broth
- 3 – 4 pound pastured whole chicken
- 2 - 4 carrots, roughly sliced
- 1 - 2 onions, very roughly chopped
- 2 stalks celery, roughly sliced
- 1 bunch parsley
- 3 - 4 Tab. organic, unrefined apple cider vinegar with the "mother"
- 1 - 2 tsp. dulse or kelp flakes, optional
- 2 tsp. sea salt
- ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Place vegetables in crockpot. Add chicken (cut up chicken to reduce cooking time). Top with remaining ingredients except parsley. Add water to fill crockpot. Cover and cook on high until boiling (1 – 2 hours), then cook on low until chicken is cooked through (Total chicken cooking time is about 4 - 5 hours; It's done when meat is so tender that it falls off the bone). Skim off scum from top (if any). Remove cooked meat (Use the meat in casseroles, stews and more). Cut through the bones to release more of the healing marrow then return carcass (including skin and fat) to crockpot. Add additional water to fill crockpot. Continue cooking on low for up to 24 hours total cooking time (including initial 4 hours). 24 hours cooking time is ideal to pull as many minerals from bones, but 8 - 12 hours is acceptable. Make sure to check water level and add more water as necessary. Add 1 bunch of parsley during last 10 - 15 minutes of cooking. Strain and place broth in refrigerator. Once cooled, skim off congealed fat.
Bone broth might seem like the latest fad (you can pick up a steaming to-go cup of bone broth in the trendy parts of Manhattan these days), but it has been around forever. Sip it daily just like tea - and share it with friends and family when they are under the weather. My first adventures in the healing qualities of mineral-rich bone broth were inspired by Sally Fallon's wonderful book Nourishing Traditions.

Must-Know Facts About Armored Recovery Vehicles
Various kinds of military vehicles are used in used in war-torn areas or places where conflicts are present and continuous. One of the most common types of specialized vehicles you will see in such areas are armored recovery vehicles.
An armored recovery vehicle, also known as Armoredownload-12d Repair and Recovery Vehicle or ARRV, has the primary purpose of recovering and/or repairing damaged or inoperable vehicles right in the battle field.
These specialized vehicles were first called Salvage tanks during World War I. It was only during the Second World War that people began calling them recovery vehicles.
The earliest versions of these vehicles were usually equipped with repair tools or with winches of heavy-duty to release the stuck vehicles. However, the latter generations or newer models were outfitted with a type of crane attached to the A-frame – a feature which could perform the task of lifting heavy parts from disabled vehicles, such as the engine. In addition, during the post-war period, various great alterations and improvements were made in these vehicles. Some of these capabilities include the improved ability of these vehicles to carry an extra engine to replace a non-working on the field and fuel pumps which allow the easy transfer of fuel. They can also carry anchors which can be utilized as stabilizers in heavy lifting situations.
In the past, recovery vehicles were usually derived from battle tanks of other armored fighting vehicles. Today, most manufacturers build them from the same type of material or vehicle they will most likely or frequently recover on the war field.
Although recovery vehicles are one of the sturdiest and strongest specialized vehicles around, they also have limitations. In cases where the work of a recovery vehicle is not possible anymore, tank transporters will have to be used. Tank transporters have the mission of transporting the tanks on the war field for longer distances, to reduce road damage, save fuel, or to recover them from the war field. Certain types or models of tank transporters are equipped with special protection, in case they have to make their way up to the first line.
Armored recovery vehicles are important types of specialized vehicles to have and use where fighting, especially with the use of artillery, is consistently present. To make sure that you can make the most of your vehicles and that the operator and passengers will be safe during transport, make sure that you purchase them only from a well-known and trusted automotive manufacturing company.
Brainstorming To Start A Small Business – Questions To Answer
Hello readers and potential future entrepreneurs. I understand the feeling; desire to create, operate, and succeed. Throughout my professional career, I have learned that there are numerous steps that must be taken in order to organize opening and operating a small business. I have put together a few questions which aspiring entrepreneurs should, at the very least, consider reading over. There are many questions that may arise with opening a small business, and I will address a few of those questions briefly in the following list of questions one may ask while brainstorming.
What type of business do you want to open? There are various business endeavors an entrepreneur could involve themselves in. It all comes down to what knowledge one has, or is willing to obtain. Are you a restaurateur? Repairman? Plumber? Home health / assistance? Do you have experience managing or working at such establishments? Do you need formal education from an institution? Will you work as a sole proprietor, or a partner / member? Research limited liability corporations (LLCs) in addition to sole proprietorships and partnerships. S corporations are another option, but they are for business with stockholders, and may not be right for your particular business application.
What kinds of licensing and/or permits are required? Each business will have different licensing requirements; it all comes down to what the entrepreneur ultimately chooses to do. A restaurant would need food safety licensing in addition to basic business licensing, and if alcohol is on the menu – there is another permit the entrepreneur would need to legally sell alcohol on the premises. Repair oriented businesses would need at least the business license to repair, but if they sell parts as well, they would need to have "retail" listed on their business license in addition to "repair". Health care services require at least formal education and licensing as an LPN, RN, or one of several other health care related licenses. Be sure to check your state's laws to ensure what is necessary to operate your type of business.
What training / education / certifications are required to legally run this business? We touched upon this in licensing / permits, however there is much more involved than the required licensing. For example, one cannot operate a vehicle collision repair business without the knowledge of performing those types of repairs. There are schools that can be attended to learn what must be learned to effectively operate nearly any kind of business. However, there are also businesses where experience is enough to operate effectively without needing any formal education (lawn care, house cleaning just to name a couple). Also, there are certifications for training in nearly, if not all, care industries.
Does this business require a storefront? Retail establishments will undoubtedly need a storefront. Bear in mind, retail business will have a much larger initial investment than a service based operation. That initial investment is inventory. Some service businesses may not need a storefront to operate, as much of the service performed could very well be on-site. If a storefront is necessary, be sure to consider delivery or on-site service if it is feasible for your operation.
How much will it cost? This number will vary wildly based on the type and size of business you are planning. For smaller businesses, this number could be as low as $200 for a license and/or permit, or as high as a million dollars or more. Obviously, inventory is very expensive, and so are specialized tools for performing extremely precise work. Calculate the expected opening and operating expenses. Determine what size storefront is needed (if applicable), and research local commercial realty properties, locations, and prices. It is absolutely cheaper to rent in the short-term, although the thought of owning property that is paid off is very tempting. Prices on most things will vary based on your location. Employees are another cost, if your business warrants employees. When employees come into the equation as opposed to sole proprietors or partnerships, one must add extra insurance for the business (unemployment insurance comes to mind). Check with your selected insurance company for which types of additional coverage are required, and if offering health insurance can be done reasonably. Those employees will also need to have taxes paid on their wages – part from the employee's paycheck and part from the company. Another potential cost is repayment of loans, if you don't already have the capital needed to open your business. Basic operating expenses are not to be forgotten, as heating/cooling, Internet connectivity, and utilities will be regular expenditures for any storefront. On-site service operations cost very little when compared to a physical storefront.
How can an individual pay for this? If you do not have the funds available, which is very common, applying for loans is a way to attain funding. Be sure to have a business plan with projected expenses and revenues. There are other ways to gain funds for a business. Look into grants. While they are not very common, they are a potential source for assistance nonetheless. If many people believe in your dream, one could possibly acquire donations from those individuals.
What about accounting? Bookkeeping is a necessity – research which accounting/bookkeeping software would work best for the type of business you are planning. Point-of-sale (POS) systems are needed for "ringing up" and selling inventory or goods to the customer. POS systems keep track of sales, sales taxes, employee labor dollars spent, and many other items. If you are apt at creating spreadsheets, you may be able to keep track of your own inventory depending on your particular business model.
I hope this brief listing of questions and potential answers has been of assistance to aspiring entrepreneurs. Although there are countless successful entrepreneurs who have little or no formal education in business, it is never a bad idea to research courses regarding administration and management. Be sure to take a look at the Small Business Administration's website at http://www.SBA.gov for more helpful information.
The author, Johnathan Baker, is an educated entrepreneur, with over ten years of experience in small business administration and management. Opening any type of business is no simple task, as many things must be considered. With experience opening, operating, and managing small businesses, the author aims to help aspiring entrepreneurs in realizing their dreams. While the questions are not all inclusive, they are, at the very least, a good bit of information to consider throughout the beginning processes of opening a small business. Take the information provided and begin or continue working on your business plan on the road to entrepreneurship.
Different Uses of Graphite
Graphite felt is available in several thicknesses and widths to match the specific application. It is most commonly used as an insulating material, such as cladding, heat shields, or filters. Most of the felt is low density to help improve performance by letting a furnace or similar object heat and cool at a quicker rate. This low density also helps to control and stabilize the temperature to create the atmosphere that is more constant and maintains the more productive heat all the way through.
The felt can have an extra coating which is useful to give more protection against erosion. Graphite felt is made to be easy to cut to size and install in place. Plus, there is a rigid form of this material and created in a variety of shapes, such as rings, cylinders and baffles.
Here are a few of the popular uses of graphite:
Ceramics industry
The use of graphite is common in the ceramics industry to help increase performance while the furnaces are working at high temperatures, as well as giving greater mechanical strength and electrical conductivity.
Automotive industry
Graphite is the preferred material to use in place of asbestos in the automotive industry and can feature in a variety of areas, such as the brake lining and gaskets. Plus, it is a major aspect of brushes used in the electric motors.
Defense Technology
Graphite is a practical choice for a wide range of military aerospace vehicles because of the ability to endure high temperature ranges. Also, this material is a useful choice for space shuttles and applied as surface tiles. The material is very stable with high resistance properties, and can endure temperatures that reach up to 3000 degrees C.
Electronics industry
The use of an ultra-pure form of graphite is becoming more popular in electrical circuitry and components because of the increasing reliance on computers. Also, the graphite is a favored choice for electrical circuits and systems that rely on automation.
In addition to graphite, there is also a carbon fiber felt which is a similar type of material and useful in applications that need high temperature insulation, such as furnaces. This material also has high heat properties even with thin layers to provide the reliable and long-term insulation results. Plus, this material is able to avoid contracting or shrinking to help maintain the consistent heat and avoid issues with hot sports or cavities.
3D Scanning – What You Need To Know
3D scanning is a process of capturing digital information of object shape using equipment that has light or laser to measure distance between the object and the scanner. The non-destructive and non-contact scanning technology uses lines of laser light capturing the exact shape and size of the object. The fine details of even the smallest objects are captured and the process comes in handy in so many industries and fields. Some the areas that 3D scans are commonly used include automotive, manufacturing, medical and aerospace.
3D laser scanners capture thousands of points per second, allowing quick inspection of parts. It is a process that is ideally suited for measuring and inspecting contoured surfaces and also complex geometries that require lots of data for accurate description and where traditional measurement methods are impractical.
What are the advantages?
3D scanning has become very popular among business people in different fields. You can now easily find 3D scanning services for all needs you might have especially as far as accuracy and high quality productions are concerned. The popularity of the process is as a result of the many advantages it has over other traditional options. Some of the advantages that come with the process include:
1. Quick capture of all physical measurements of any given physical object; with 3D scanning, the size of the object does not matter.
2. Saves time when designing. The high definition details of objects make it possible for designers get it right with the first trail, hence saving time, even with productions that would have otherwise proved to be complex and time consuming.
3. Ensures perfect fit of parts with the first try. 3D has literally taken the guess work of production processes, especially for those dealing with prototypes and creating parts. The detailed information collected from an object is accurate and hence it is very rare to have parts that have any functional defects.
4. It captures engineering optimization that is necessary in manufactured parts. The process offers more confident to manufacturers in terms of meeting standards and any set objectives in the manufacturing process of parts. Using the scans, it has become even possible for manufacturers and designed to compare between designed and built models conditions so manufactured parts are top quality.
How does it help the design process?
3D scans are largely used in the design process of various products. Model scanning proves beneficial in the design process because:
· It increases effectiveness when working with shapes and parts that are complex
· It provides updated versions of CAD models that are outdated
· It makes it possible to replace missing parts or older parts
· It helps product designing so that someone else's part can be accommodated
Which areas can in be used in?
3D scanning is very effective and has become a popular option in various fields including:
· Historical artifacts
· Prototyping or reverse engineering
· Entertainment industry for games, TV and movie productions
· Medical and dental
· Inspection
· Marine
· Construction and architecture
A 3D scan can prove highly beneficial in different sectors. If you do not have what it takes to enjoy the accuracy of 3D scans, you can get help from service providers who offer all kinds of scanning services.
Why So Many People Will Talk You Out of Online Marketing
In this modern society where almost everything is digital, it is hard to believe that there are still those who prefer traditional methods, such as in the field of advertising.
Online advertising has been a hit in the last decade. Internet marketing has taken over businesses by storm and doubled their revenue. However, some people still see the field as unnecessary and taxing so they try to convince others to veer away. Below are other reasons why some individuals dislike online marketing:
Inability to adapt with technology
A person may refuse the method because they may not be technology savvy. They are afraid that technology is hard to monitor or manipulate so they choose to stay manual.
Mastery of craft
A lot of traditional people spent years perfecting their craft, so they believe that their capabilities are sufficient. Online marketing is a threat to physical advertising because it minimizes the need for logistics, hence the repulsion.
Less Jobs
Some people think that digital work reduces employment opportunities due to computers replacing manual labor. Only a handful of people are necessary to make internet marketing work.
Information Breach
Putting everything on the internet is a risk for hacking or information leakage that's why many are skeptical about it. Online marketing requires a substantial amount of data that can be easily stolen or erased.
Lack of Equipment
Many marketers don't have reliable internet or computers to handle critical work. Manual advertising is easier to delegate and segregate, so smaller businesses prefer it.
Lack of Empathy
Advertisers believe that online marketing is not good for client relations because it promotes a more detached form of communication and a robotic response. Manual advertising is more personal so it is easier to convince people.
Lack of Authenticity
Marketers are wary of online advertising because people nowadays are harder to convince, especially in terms of the authenticity of a product. Since everything can be manipulated or edited, they would have to work more to attract clients.
Population of Non-internet users
A big percent of the population is still manual so it is impractical to promote online marketing in these areas. Online commercials only work with regular exposure but if the audience only uses the internet a few times then it is a wasted effort. Manual advertising is beneficial when people are more inclined to support physical efforts or are part of a community network.
Promotes Mediocrity
Senior marketers believe that online marketing encourages laziness in the younger advertisers because most materials can be recycled, edited or rehashed. Marketing is a skill developed from experience and virtual training may not be enough to develop and create a better breed of advertisers.
Technology is a waste
People believe that using gadgets and computers are harmful to the health of workers so they don't encourage the employment related to such. Manual advertising promotes brain functions through practice and personal relationships development. It is important for some people to backlog technology to help the environment.
Despite the many reasons why people may talk you out of online marketing, it is still undeniable that this form of marketing has a lot of potential. Learn how you can maximize the web when it comes to marketing your products and services, so you can expand your reach.

Smart Leadership in the 21st Century
Although we may claim that the world has gravitates from authoritarian rulership and that most countries in the world operate under a democratic ambience, but in certain parts of the world and over certain organisations preside some leaders who still lord over their followers without giving them a say at all in the affairs.
Every nation and society has its own leader, but what distinguishes the smart leaders in the world today from the bosses and the not-so-smart leaders? Consider the following traits.
The first trait of the smart leader in the 21st Century is that the leader has to EVOLVE. He should keep up with the times, with the latest techniques and updated information. Knowledge is power and the knowledgeable leader is not one that can be easily deceived or pushed about. The societies that use the most advanced methods in everyday life are the ones that lead the pack in today's world.
In addition, the SMART leader is:
S- Simple/Straightforward: The good leader has to mean what he says, and say what he means. He must not be deceitful. His followers must be able to trust him and take his word for it in every circumstance. What he does not intend to do, he should determine not to say it. Also, the smart leader in this century must be a man of simple ways, words and lifestyle.
Gone are the days when leaders were marked by 100-foot billowy robes, with twenty servants carrying the clothes from behind. This can be tolerated from a bride in a wedding ceremony, but not from the world-class 21st Century leader. He should not live a complicated lifestyle or be unnecessarily extravagant. Simplicity does it these days.
M- Malleable: As mentioned earlier, the smart leader must be malleable, not rigid. He must be able to bend his views when it is necessary. He should be able to lower his standards when it is necessary.
Compromising your views at certain times is not a trait of the weak, but that of the intelligent. He should not insist on the status quo, or cling to ideas just because "that's the norm here!" The norm is usually dumb. He must have a teachable heart that can learn new information at every opportunity. He must be malleable enough to learn from both young and old, rich and poor, male and female-anybody.
A- Accountable: Aha! Did the smart leader expect I won't add this? It is inescapable for the smart leader to be accountable for all the human and other resources committed to his care. He must not be corrupt. Every penny in his administration must be accounted for. He must guard his citizens and his domain with the same intensity as well.
R- Resourceful: The leader must also be one with a limitless river of ideas constantly flowing for the betterment of his organisation. He must be very creative and actually SMART. As in, really intelligent. If a dumb leader is put over a domain, he will mismanage and diminish it. The leader must be able to multiply the little he has been committed with, and multiply it. He must commit to being constantly trained in order to further equip his intellectual arsenal.
T- Technology Literate: Finally, in this Internet Age, many wars are won or lost on social media. The smart leader in the 21st Century must be one who is very much versed in at least some high-tech devices. He must not be an illiterate with the computer or with the internet. He must make it a point of duty to learn the use of one new technological gadget every six months. That will set him apart and make him the man/woman to beat by the other leaders. He will find out pretty soon that he is a trail blazer in leadership. It does not matter whether he is presiding over a family or over an entire nation, such person will be a trail blazer.

Tips To Help You Plan A Fulfilling Cruise
Cruises are some of the most exciting vacations you can choose to enjoy. They offer unbeatable value because you do not have to think about constant transportation needs from place to place and neither do you have to pay costly airfares to your destination. The cruises give you the chance to enjoy refreshing sea air helping you relax and simply enjoy the warm ocean breezes whenever. With so many ports scattered around the world, you can place a cruise travel to visit areas that you have always wanted to visit.
If you love water and water activities, then cruises will prove to be most rewarding to you. But then to enjoy the most pleasant experience you still need to plan properly for your cruise. When everything is in order from the initial stages, then you are bound to enjoy a fulfilling vacation on a ship.
1. Know the number of people cruising with you
If it is just a few of you, then planning should be easy, but you will need a lot more planning and coordination when you plan to travel with more family members and friends. If you are bringing children along, then you need to make sure that the cruise package has plenty of activities for them too. You can plan for a private kind of cruises or you can choose to pay for cruises that accommodate lots of other people headed the same direction you are. The important thing is to choose what works for you and the people you are tagging along.
2. Choose the best cruise length
Cruise packages differ in length and the vacation time you have available should help you select the length that is most suitable. A cruise can be only a few days or you can choose one that goes for a week and more. A weekend cruise can be a great choice for those with little time to spare. With so many destinations and packages, you should be able to plan a cruise length that you can afford and enjoy to the fullest.
3. Pick the best stateroom
People have different preferences when it comes to cruises and your stateroom choices should be guided by your vacation preferences. For instance, if what you dream of is lounging in a private balcony as you enjoy the gracious tropical views, then a balcony stateroom is the ideal selection. Couples can cruise in a suite or a penthouse to get the most from the cruise vacation. If you are a little pressed on a budget, then you can always settle for an inside stateroom. Some cruise packages can offer you additions such as 24 hour butler for your luxury experience.
4. Consider onboard activities
Even when you are going on a romantic cruise vacation, you will definitely need activities to fill your time on board. Find out what activities you will find on-board and how exciting they will make your cruise. Spa services, wine tasting, bingo, culinary demonstrations, live entertainments and others are some of the most popular on most cruises.
6 Tips Before You Rent a Boat
Sailing a boat is a great experience, especially when you are sailing with your friends or family. It's true that not everyone can afford to own a boat to have the sailing experience, but that doesn't mean they can't do it. If you want to sail a boat but don't have the money to buy one, you can use another option and rent one. However, you should know a few things before going this route. This will make sure that you will be on the safe side.
Tip #1 Reserve a Boat Ahead of Time
In summer, the demand for boats is higher than in winter. Therefore, you may find it harder to find a boat that hasn't been taken. To avoid this situation, we suggest that you make the reservation a few weeks earlier. As soon as you have confirmed your vacation dates, you should have a boat reserved.
Tip #2 Consider Your Needs
As a beginner, renting a fast boat won't be a good idea for you. But if you have a friend with you who knows how to sail a boat, then you may go ahead and rent a fast one. Another thing to keep in mind is that the selection should be based on what you want to use the boat for. For instance, not all types of vessels would be suitable for fishing. For recommendations, you can get in touch with the boat reservationist.
Tip #3 Rent a Well-maintained Boat
The boat you are going to rent must be in good condition. In other words, make sure the boat doesn't have any defects. But the question is how can you know if the boat is in good working condition? Well, you should take a look at the rental office or building. If the building is well maintained, the boats will also be in good condition and vice versa. Remember: sailing a damaged or defective boat may put your life at risk. So, you should never compromise on this factor.
Tip #4 Use Charts and Maps
The boat you are going to rent should have the latest charts. They will make it easier for you to know the directions to wherever you want to go. Since waterways change from time to time, having the latest maps is highly recommended.
Tip #5 Safety Is of Paramount Importance
The most important thing in our lives is safety. So, make sure that the boat has all the required safety equipment. Also, the law doesn't allow you to use a boat if it doesn't meet any safety requirement.
Tip #6 Communication is Important
The boat you are going to rent must have a working on-board radio. In case something goes wrong during sailing, you can use the onboard radio or your cell phone to call for help. Also, don't forget to save the important numbers in your phone before you board the boat.
So, these are some boat renting tips that you should note down and take into account before renting a good boat.
What Is Computer Aided Engineering And Computational Fluid Dynamics?
Basketball remains one of the most revered games played today. The jerseys sported by players on court actually assume a very significant shape in the lives of the NBA fans, who sport pro-cut uniforms of their favorite teams in a bid to show their love for the same. A typical basketball uniform consists of sleeveless upper halves, shorts, knee caps and head bands. There are a lot of factors considered before selecting basketball uniforms and today, we're just going to take a look at what those factors are.
Yes! At the heart of the selection of these jerseys is comfort and there are so many things that needed to be taken care of in order to ensure comfort. The right fit and fabric are the two most important factors that need to be taken into account here. A tighter upper half might hinder mobility in a major way, while a fabric unable to absorb sweat is not really fit for humid conditions. So, a choice needs to be made in accordance.
A manufacturer selling the entire ensemble is more likely to be preferred by the buyers instead of those selling only the upper halves or the lower halves-firstly because, the former offer products within a more affordable price bracket and secondly because it is generally more convenient to get your needs fulfilled by only one manufacturer instead of hunting several suppliers at the same time. It's a matter of double the research or double the groundwork. You have to conduct background research and price comparisons for every other product differently.
Team consensus
Team uniforms (irrespective of whether they're sported by cricketers, soccer players, basketball players and so on) are generally selected after securing common consensus. The jersey designs and colors are only zeroed in on after all team members put forward their opinions regarding suitability. A team is known by its jersey. As basketball fans, we understand how important our favorite team jerseys are for us. Every other team is driven by different sensibilities as far as their passion, overall team outlook, and their approach towards their game are concerned. The team jersey thus selected serves to reflect different sensibilities in a major way. A team, for instance, which is new in the circuit and are known for their rawness might as well have the color red present dominantly in their team uniform or in patches.
You need to find a credentialed manufacturer in a bid to get your hands on quality stuff. Be sure enough to consult manufacturers that are actually known for providing custom team jerseys that are the right combination of affordability and quality. Plus, they should be able to deliver orders before within the desirable timeframe. The use of advanced machinery ensures that jerseys are crafted fast without compromising on the quality.
Seek recommendations from peers and browse through the plethora of online reviews in order to find out how different manufacturers have been rated and reviewed.
Hope this primer will help you in your quest for the right team uniform.

Coraline is a horror/fantasy novella by British author Neil Gaiman, published in 2002 by Bloomsbury and Harper Collins. It was awarded the 2003 Hugo Award for Best Novella, the 2003 Nebula Award for Best Novella, and the 2002 Bram Stoker Award for Best Work for Young Readers. It has been compared to Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and has been adapted into a 2009 stop-motion film directed by Henry Selick.
Coraline Jones and her parents move into an old house that has been divided into flats. The other tenants include Miss Spink and Miss Forcible, two elderly women retired from the stage, and Mr. Bobo, who is training a mouse circus. The flat beside Coraline's remains empty.
During a rainy day she discovers a locked door in a downstairs room, which has been bricked up. As she goes to visit her neighbors, Mr. Bobo relates to her a message from the mice: Don't go through the door. At tea with Miss Spink and Miss Forcible, Miss Spink spies danger in Coraline's future after reading her tea leaves, and gives her a lucky stone. They then explain that it will make the unseen seen. Despite these warnings, Coraline decides to unlock the door when she is home by herself and finds the brick wall behind the door gone. In its place is a long passageway, which leads to a flat identical to her own, inhabited by her Other Mother and Other Father, who are replicas of her real parents. They have button eyes and exaggerated features. In this "Other World", Coraline finds everything to be better than her reality: her Other Parents are attentive, her toy box is filled with animate toys that can move and fly, and the Other Miss Spink and Miss Forcible forever perform a cabaret show in their flat. She even finds the feral Black Cat that wanders around the house in the real world can talk, however she learns he is not of the Other World; he only travels from one world to another and warns Coraline of the imminent danger, but Coraline pays him no heed.
The Other Mother offers Coraline a chance to stay in the Other World forever, if Coraline will allow buttons to be sewn into her eyes. Coraline is horrified and returns back through the door to go home. Upon her return to her apartment, Coraline finds her real parents are missing. They do not return the next day, and the black cat wakes her and takes her to a mirror in her hallway, through which she can see her trapped parents. They signal to her by writing "Help Us" on the glass, from which Coraline deduces the Other Mother has kidnapped them. Though frightened of returning, Coraline goes back to the Other World to confront the Other Mother and rescue her parents. In the garden, Coraline is prompted by the Cat to challenge the Other Mother, as "her kind of thing loves games and challenges". The Other Mother tries to convince Coraline to stay, but Coraline refuses, and is locked behind a mirror as punishment.
In the darkness, she meets three ghost children, each from a different era, who had let the beldame (the Other Mother) sew buttons in their eyes. They tell her how she eventually stopped loving them, and cast their spirits aside. The ghost children implore Coraline to avoid their fate, and to help find their souls so that they can leave the Other World and pass on. After the Other Mother releases Coraline from the mirror, Coraline proposes a game in which she must find the ghost children's souls and her parents, which lay hidden throughout the Other World. If Coraline wins, she, her parents and the ghost children may go free. If not, Coraline will let the Other Mother sew the buttons into her eyes.
Coraline goes through the Other World, and overcomes all the Other Mother's obstacles, using her wits and Miss Spink's stone to locate the ghost children's souls. At the close of the game, the ghost children warn her even if Coraline wins, the Other Mother will not let them go. Having deduced her parents are imprisoned in the snow globe on the mantle, Coraline tricks the Other Mother by saying her parents are behind the door in the drawing room. As the Other Mother opens the door, Coraline throws the cat at the Other Mother, grabs the snow globe, and escapes to the real world with the key. In doing so, she forces the door shut on the Other Mother's hand, severing it. Back in her home, Coraline finds her parents safe and with no memory of the events.
That night, Coraline has a dream in which she meets the three children before they move on to the afterlife. They warn her, her task is still not done: the other mother's severed hand is in Coraline's world, attempting to steal the key which opens the door that connects the two worlds. Coraline goes to an old well in the woods by her house, luring the Other Mother's hand there with the key, and casts both down the bottomless well. Coraline returns home, victorious, and prepares to go about the ordinary life she has come to accept and love.

At first, it might seem like you're talking to yourself. But after a while, talking to your baby bump comes naturally, and it could pay off big time when baby comes, according to a new study.
Researchers at the University of Helsinki in Finland found that babies may be learning words long before they're born. And while the advice is nothing new (that you should talk to your baby and even play music for her), now it's backed up with evidence.
A group of pregnant women participated in the study; researchers had half of them play a recording of a made-up Finnish word over and over, continuing from the 29th week of pregnancy until birth. The other half of the group didn't play it at all. Ultimately, the babies who heard the word in the womb showed a heightened reaction to it after they were born.
So what does this mean? Well, your baby is learning words and sounds very early on—researchers argue that comprehension and hearing can develop as early as halfway into pregnancy. While your baby won't come out of the womb talking like a college graduate, it does show that if you talk to him early on, he'll have a good head start!
What else does this mean? One of our bloggers answers the question here.
Tell us, did you (or do you plan on it) talk to your kids while they were in the womb? How are their language skills now?

I usually avoid sharing anything personal on this blog - but this post might just relate to other Orthodox parents out there, so here goes.
As a mother of three small children, the day passes fast. With diapers and meals, I just about manage to say their prayers with them, in front of their iconostasis'. Each room it seems has its' share of breathtaking and inspiring icons, but something was missing I felt. Or was I simply making excuses for skipping out on my prayers? To be honest, a space just for me was the perfect solution.
So here it is. Our glorious utility closet. That's right...and it's perfect. The kids don't even know it exists!
Sure, you might say I'm surrounded by buckets and tennis rackets, ironing boards and boxes, but these are the items of our daily life. There is nothing 'unholy' there, and I sort of feel the presence of God and His Saints sanctifying even this space!
It has reminded me that despite singing spiritual songs with our children, reading Bible stories, and quietly saying the Jesus Prayer, nothing can replace the one-on-one time we need with God. A place to shut the door, empty our hearts and be faithful at any hour of the night, without anyone knowing we're there (well of course except you now! Shhhh, don't tell my kids!)

A ROGUE trader who 'destroyed' a 93-year-old's life cheated 10 pensioners out of £182,000, a court heard.
Tony Smith befriended his victims, winning their trust, making one woman from Hayling Island 'fall in love' with him.
Portsmouth Crown Court heard Smith even went and took communion with her, all while swindling her out of £25,000 for work worth far less.
Tim Compton, prosecuting, told how Smith spent the ill-gotten thousands on trips to Haven Holidays, Parkdean, Mill Rythe in Hayling, and a six-week stay at Lady's Mile Holiday Park.
Who were Tony Smith's victims?
Dad-of-three Smith, 41, paid extra for a hot tub and to have the heating on 24 hours a day, the court heard.
But his two-year con fell apart when police traced him to the Lady's Mile park in Dawlish, Devon.
'He was living, bluntly, in some degree of comfort,' Mr Compton said.
'He was recorded as saying to his wife "at least I got you a holiday".'
Sitting in the dock Smith, who had gone on the run between February and June and appeared on BBC Crimewatch, showed no emotion as judge Linda Sullivan QC jailed him for four years.
Smith befriended his victims, told some they had asbestos that needed removing, and carried out poor work or none at all.
Addressing the conman about his 93-year-old victim, the judge said: 'You have totally destroyed her life, she totally lost her independence. She was a woman of substantial standing with a large family.
'You came between them by insinuating yourself into her life, making her, in effect it seems, fall in love you with, taking communion with her.
'You used her not only in a fraudulent way but you ruined her.'
The court heard Smith had known her for three years, used her bank cards in Torquay, and threatened her son when police got involved.
He had cold-called her claiming she had a leaky roof.
Roofer Smith, of Plaistow Road, admitted participating in a fraudulent business carried on by a sole trader between June 26, 2014, and July 1, 2016. He did so on a basis he only made £57,000.
Prosecutors, who said he made £147,000 from six victims, and £35,000 from four others, did not argue the figure as he would have received a similar sentence.
A 72-year-old victim, from Camberely, watched Smith being sentenced. He said it was 'justice' but Smith's actions had been 'shocking'.
Sentencing, the judge added: 'It's submitted almost as mitigation that you were nice to them but in my judgement it's clear that you groomed them and were intentionally dishonest in order to extract substantial sums of money from them, either in cash or to go with you to withdraw from bank accounts or, on a number of occasions, you in effect stole their cards and withdrew from their accounts without their knowledge.'
Yasmin Aslam, for Smith, who had no previous, said he 'lost his bottle' and 'went into hiding' after running late for court in February. He is 'very sorry' for causing his victims grief, she said.
She said Smith needs crutches, injured his back, and turned to fraud to pay for gambling and drinking.

With careful planning and dedication, you can end up with a beautiful Christmas wonderland. Below is a guide on how to get started with Christmas Outdoor Lights and your best options to take when planning.
Christmas Outdoor Lights
Planning is key to a successful Christmas theme. When choosing to place Christmas lights, it is good to plan with a drawing of your house, and garden or a list. Examine everywhere wright down what you want and what type of theme are the lights going to be multi-colored or plain white.
If you do sketch your idea down make sure you get your bushes and small trees, gates and fences. This would give you a idea on where to start and what to buy.
Rule of thumb when measuring your house. Find the endpoint of your gutter, measure the full width, measure the corners and the side of the house. Depending on the style of your lights or how your house is placed, I would also say follow the roof line from the corner house.
Fixing lights
Before anything and you have a measure up. It's time to think of how many lights you're going to need, And how you're going to fix them to the gutter, I would say get at least 2-3 packs of Gutter hook, you can get up to 25 hooks in a pack, but shop around. This will give you plenty if you break them or lose them.
Choosing Christmas Outdoor Lights
Icicle Lights seems to have taken the lead for its style and effects, But like i have stated in the indoor lights, it's good to experiment with color and types of styles, and lights.
When choosing your lights, Try shopping around for them with rubber cable. This insures that they will still work in all types of weather, High winds and poor installation usually cause the most damage . So what's worse than buying cheap and then they all blow because of water damage, all your hard work would have been lost.
All outdoor and indoor lights come with constable end so if you miss calculated or you wish to add more of them, you have the chance.
And remember Net lights come in LED so you will be saving a lot of money on your energy bill and also they are much safer.
Fence Panels and Shrubs
Net lights are a very much a must They give the perfect finish and they are easy to be installed. Net lights can be very expensive to buy due to the levels of work and cable used to create the netting. When deciding where to place your net lights, don't worry about measuring too little as all modern light nettings now have connectors.
There are no requirements needed when putting up the net lights. This is because they are already pre-arranged, It's simple to just throw over whatever you like.
Ask a friend or family member to help hold the ladders.
When fixing lights don't stand on the roof, it's easy to fix lights to the gutter on ladders.
If you need any more help on Christmas Outdoor Lights, or you just want to show off your uniqueness, Come Join the Christmas Forum. Were friendly and experienced Christmas enthusiast members will be pleased to help out and share ideas. – And possibly like your style.

New Yorkers might be under the impression that the growing freedom across the nation to possess and use marijuana means that there is a reduction in the intensity with which law enforcement addresses it. In New York, the drug remains illegal meaning that those who have it can face drug possession charges and those who are selling it could face intent to distribute charges. These can rise to a felony if there is enough of the drug in possession. For people who are arrested for drug crimes related to marijuana, legal help is a must.
Understanding traffic violations for New York distracted driving
A driver's ability to continually check their smartphones and other devices has led to a prevalence of distracted driving. While the danger of distracted driving is well known, people still do it. However, law enforcement is cracking down. In New York, drivers can face a traffic violation and a fine for using a phone while driving. Knowing the law is essential to avoid the harshest penalties.
Man arrested on multiple drug charges after traffic stop
Hudson Valley residents will often be under the impression that drug offenses are generally linked to those who have illegal drugs, like cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and even marijuana. However, prescription drugs can also result in drug crime charges with serious consequences.
Holiday weekend crackdown can lead to drunk driving charges
People in the Hudson Valley and throughout New York State will undoubtedly look forward to holiday weekends with the most recent being Labor Day. However, law enforcement will also be looking forward to these weekends and other holidays to seek out drivers who might be operating their vehicles under the influence and to make arrests on drunk driving charges. Those who are stopped during these crackdowns and arrested on a DUI charge should be aware of how to formulate a defense.
Understanding the basics of an ignition interlock device
An ignition interlock device is a machine that is installed on a vehicle and measures the blood-alcohol content in a person's body. Before the vehicle will start, the driver must blow into the machine so the BAC can be determined. It will also intermittently require the driver to blow into the machine to ensure that he or she was not drinking after the previous test. For drivers who are convicted of DUI, installation of this machine is part of the program allowing them to drive.

We had the same exact thing at our Walkley Heights house, but they were neighbor's cats. They used to poop in our front garden (which at that house was really nice) and piss all over the door and mat. Then Dusty would try to get outside to eat the cat poo, and he would pee on the front mat INSIDE the house because he could smell the cat pee. lovely!! Fortunately we moved :) lol sorry not very helpful!

You need to wash the door, screen, and mat with a solution that takes care of the odor. There are many from which to choose at your local pet store. At least there are here.

Chili powder works but I have to refresh it, as I found out this week when I thought the issue was resolved, didn't add any more, and someone peed on the door again:/ I haven't seen the cats around as much though.

We call them feral cats here too...and they don't have to be feral to be a nuisance. Our neighbours recently got two kittens who made friends with my kitten (although not with our older cat who is traumatised by the whole thing) and now let themselves in through the cat door and eat all the cat food >:-(
At least they're not peeing.

text: choosing the right pair June 19, 2017Dallas Sunglasses are some of my favorite accessories to shop for, anyone else? They instantly transform your look and add personality to even the most simple outfits. I feel like I have a pretty good balance of everyday sunglasses and statement pairs, but I'm always on the hunt for stylish new pairs that will complement my face shape and give me a way to mix up my look on the reg. I have a pretty round face and high cheek bones, so I usually opt for larger lens styles so the bottom doesn't hit the top of my cheek bone directly. For example, aviators generally don't work on me because each time I smile they pop up a few inches! They just hit my cheeks in the wrong spot. Rounded square styles and subtle cat-eye silhouettes are often what look best on me. If you're like me, you probably try on every pair in the store just to see if you can make that new trendy style work, but revert back to old faithful when it comes to purchasing! If you've never tried a pair of sunglasses from kate spade new york, now is the time! This season they have SO many fabulous new styles. What I love about their collection is that while maintaining classic colors and silhouettes, there's always a subtle girly touch to each pair. With these black Genice sunnies, they are comfortable and simple enough for everyday wear (especially in black!), but the slightly turned up corners lend a feminine grace to them. They also come in three other colors – the rose gold would be my next choice! Love a good mirrored lens… If you're on the hunt for a new pair this summer, here are some other styles from kate spade new york to discover: Loving the larger frames on this tortoise pair – a great shape for round or oval faces like me! So versatile. If you like the round look, try this pair or this pair. Both are so cute! Check out these thick-framed wayfarers to achieve that timeless retro vibe. Here's another everyday style I'd love to snag. Simple, chic and perfect for work to weekend. Make a statement in this extreme cat-eye style. The stud detail really adds something extra, don't you think? Love the thick frames! { thanks to kate spade new york for sponsoring this post } Dress: c/o kate spade new york, Bag: c/o kate spade new york, Shoes: c/o kate spade new york, Sunglasses: c/o kate spade new york, Earrings: c/o kate spade new york (under $50!)

Hi there! Thanks for joining me! My name is Vanessa and I am a Pinterest Marketing Strategist for creative entrepreneurs.
What is a Pinterest Strategist?
I love the beauty that creative entrepreneurs bring into the online marketplace and their work inspires me. I have worked with a variety of brands and entrepreneurs. They all had one thing in common, though–loads of work and a finite amount of time! Cue me! My strengths lie in technical details–bringing the geek to the creative party with an eye for beauty and design.
Many of my clients were established businesses that knew exactly what they wanted: a trusted assistant who could curate high quality design content and act as a voice for their brand, without hand-holding and constant instruction. I implement their ideas in line with their vision and voice, giving them brand consistency across all media platforms. Very quickly, Pinterest emerged as my favorite platform. Why? It has an incredible power to exponentially grow brand awareness through pinning and drive traffic to your site. Pinterest is Cinderella at the ball, misunderstood but ultimately winning the heart of the prince. Don't miss the clock at midnight- Pinterest is still very underused by creative small businesses, but there will be a time in the future where the market is more competitive and you have to pay to play like other platforms.
Why I created vanessakynes.com
As a YouTuber, blogger, and consultant, I help creative small businesses blossom by creating traffic-generating Pinterest strategies to increase their visibility and sales through their product or service based business. On my blog, you'll find weekly actionable tips and strategies to implement on your developing Pinterest strategy.
Explore my Getting Started on Pinterest series for more details…
Also, here all about my visit at Pinterest Headquarters and what I learned!
If you are interested in hosting me to talk about Pinterest at your live or online conference, please reach out at hello at vanessakynes.com.

Get to know me—Our virtual Coffee date
My order: An Americano with lots of room for cream. What will you have?
Personally, I am a wife to a professor whose career has taken me all over the world. We lived in the UK for six years and our time navigating life away from family and raising small children overseas taught me a few things that translate well for an online business. One, you can always learn something new and two, experiences are more important than things. As a homeschooling mama to three, I want to be intentional in my children's lives and model ingenuity. Managing an online business, with the support of my husband, gives me the mobility I desire to explore as a family and choices with my time to live life intentionally.
My heart for this website is to serve you! Thanks for joining in! I'd love to hear from you at hello (at) vanessakynes (dot) com.

In today's fast paced world where everyone is on a device and on the move, live video streaming for business and networking events is becoming strategic to event planners and event companies providing solutions for client events.
In a recent blog post written by Sandra O'Loughlin, Savvy Marketers Are Bringing Their Events to a Screen Near You, she declares that "events can be the stuff of great stories," and some marketers "are taking the next chapter online." So, if you are marketing your event you need to be able to stream live video.
[pullquote3 quotes="true" align="right" variation="orange" textColor="#666666″] Marketers are taking the next chapter online.[/pullquote3]
The ability to provide live video streaming is like having a live satellite broadcast on television, but instead live streamed via the Internet. This concept isn't new, but when you consider that YouTube is the world's second largest search engine and videos (live or recorded) are being watched everywhere online, it only makes sense that live streaming is becoming an integral part of marketing for events where not everyone can attend in person. Just as Netflix has become a fantastic online way to view top shelf Hollywood content – live streaming is a great way to deliver great event content. Ted Talks are a perfect example of expanding the reach of one's event. (We LOVE Ted Talks, whether live or on demand!)
This powerful combination of video and live streaming is what Varvid is calling The Connected Event. In fact, a recent case study highlights how Virgin used video marketing to boost sales by 28.5%. It's here to stay!
If you'd like to experience this in person or by live streaming video, you can register for an upcoming event called The Video Marketing Explain-A-Thon put on by Wistia at The Hard Rock Cafe in Seattle:
Wednesday, May 22, 2013
5:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Hard Rock Cafe – 116 Pike St Seattle, WA 98101
Varvid will be working in conjunction with the following participating companies to teach Event Planners, Marketing Professionals, Business Owners and Marketing Directors how to use video to market their businesses:
[fancy_box]We're very excited to be participating in this great educational event. Register if you want to attend.[/fancy_box]
Webcasting — it's one of the first services Varvid initially offered and it continues to be a cornerstone to our overall success. While most of our projects have us traveling to wonderful locations across the globe, we are pleased to be planning, preparing and testing for one right here our own backyard. On Friday, January 18th, we'll produce and live stream Technology Alliance Group Northwest's (TAGNW) Annual Predictions Luncheon from Syre Hall on the campus of Whatcom Community College. Living in Bellingham is wonderful and working in Bellingham is even better! We are honored to be part of what we expect to be a long running tradition.
[pullquote_right] Living in Bellingham is wonderful and working in Bellingham is even better![/pullquote_right]
The event and webcast gets underway around 11:45am with some formal introductions and organizational announcements. Once the formalities are out of the way, the program moves right into tech-savvy prognosticator Mark Anderson's predictions and some Q&A until about 1:30 or so. After a little research, his ability to forecast the IT future is pretty darn good… he's been right more than 90% of the time over the last 10 years!
There are a couple things that make this webcast really cool:
- You can participate via our live chat feature. So if you have questions, we'll ask them on your behalf.
- This is a great way to save on travel costs and time away from the office.
- If you are not in Bellingham but would like to attend, no problem.
- We'll be broadcasting in H.264. So, it'll work on your mobile device.
If you'd like to be part of the audience, either live or virtually, contact the good folks at TAGNW and they'll set you up. We'll see you there or "there."

The benefits of oxygen can be very subtle. If you are well rested and basically not in need of additional oxygen, there will be no benefits from breathing a higher percentage of oxygen as provided in Oxygen In A Can. Oxygen In A Can contains up to 95 percent oxygen which is classified as recreational oxygen, not medical oxygen which can be 100 percent.
On the other hand if you have a hangover, are stressed out, at high altitude, or exercising or competing in competition, there are definite benefits that can be recognized. If you have a hangover, the hangover should go away quite rapidly. If you need to catch your breath at high altitude, the benefits are quite obvious. On the other hand, if you are stressed out or suffer from altitude sickness, it may take a while to notice the benefits of Oxygen In A Can. If you are stressed out, the benefits will be more subtle. The easiest way to measure the benefits is while working out. Below we describe a technique for measuring the benefits of oxygen.
First select a dumbbell that you are comfortable with and can do a dozen
or more repetitions lifting it above your head.

Work Sample
Orchestra Gold on Soundcloud
Orchestra Gold plays the celebrated style of big band music developed during Mali's post-independence "golden" era, the 1960's and 1970's. The building blocks of Orchestra Gold's compositions are folkloric songs, often told in parable, some of which have origins dating back hundreds of years. These songs contain inspiration, wisdom, deep insight, and have historically helped to uplift Malians beyond the harsh realities of daily life. We believe that these messages hold applications that transcend the era in which they were birthed. Especially in these times of social turbulence, this age-old wisdom brings a renewed perspective on modern-day existence.
Artists' Bios
Ms. Mariam Diakité is a Malian dancer, teacher & singer, and an all-around extremely versatile artist. Uniquely interested in mining the depths of Mali's cultural heritage, she is extremely in-demand within the Bamako (Capital of Mali) music scene for weddings, baptisms, and has been a member of an established and respected dance troupe in Bamako for a number of years. She has travelled extensively within her country and throughout West Africa representing the unique style of Malian dance. Her expertise and willingness to go deep into the mine of Mali's folklore bring her to Orchestra Gold.
Mandjou Koné was born and raised in Mali and Burkina Faso. As a young girl Mandjou assisted her Griot father in singing, dancing and playing instruments like the Djembe,Bala, Dundun, Kora and Tama. She also performed with the National Ballet of Burkina Faso and toured Europe extensively as lead singer of Surutukunu. Mandjou was invited to come to the US to help translating a documentary about the last 40 years of her family's musical tradition, entitled "Great Great Great Grandparents' Music". She bring awe-inspiring talent to the performances of Orchestra Gold.
Born in Tuscaloosa Alabama, Paul Sounder, was steeped in the rhythms and blues of the Deep South. At the encouragement of his musician parents, he began playing gigs on bass at age 15. Moving to California in 2006, his horizons were dramatically widened. He joined Antioquia, which fused experimental rock with percussive folk music of Colombia and West Africa. Now in Oakland, Paul continues expanding his horizons on the bass. He spend three years with flamenco master Jason McGuire, and now plays with cumbia band La Misa Negra. He brings this firm foundational in africentric music to Orchestra Gold..
Jesse Servin has spent over 15 years under the direct tutelage of the acclaimed djembe master, Abdoulaye Diakité. Over the years, Jesse has cultivated a deep connection with Abdoulaye's home in Tambacounda, Senegal. Jesse has also been integrally involved in the development of Abdoulaye's land into a sustainable, net zero, community center for the arts. Stateside, Jesse has taught courses at Ashkenaz, BrasArte, organized workshops, and sponsored artists. He is recognized as a foundational pillar of the West African drum and dance community in the Bay Area. He taps into this prolific experience for Orchestra Gold.
A gifted multi-instrumentalist, Erich Huffaker has studied the Bambara music of Mali for the last 13 years. Fluent in Bambara and French, he has lived extensively in Mali, learning guitar, djembe, and dunun. His primary djembe teachers have been Matché Kassim Traoré and Idrissa Koné. He has also studied Bambara guitar music with Mohammed Medecin Diawara, in the ancient Bambara capital of Ségou. Formerly a member of the cumbia band La Misa Negra, he has toured across the United States over the last three years. He weaves the tapestry of these influences into the fabric of Orchestra Gold's music.
Richmond Wiggins hails from West Oakland. He started playing djembe at 6, when his pastor overheard him ask another young musician, "Can i play with you in front of the church?" The next day the pastor gaveRichmond money to go to Ashby flea market and buy a djembe, making him promise to play it in church every Sunday. Richmond has upheld that promise, and still continues to grace audiences with his powerful sense of groove on the djembe and drum set, playing jazz and other styles of music. His brings immense talent, humility and enthusiasm to Orchestra Gold.
Orchestra Gold history
The name, Orchestra Gold, pays homage to the celebrated style of orchestra music developed during Mali's post-independence golden era (60's-70's). On another level, it reflects the fact that although West Africa is well-endowed with the prized mineral gold, its true value is its culture, NOT its material resources. Orchestra Gold began as a collaboration between Malian singer Mariam Diakité and Californian Erich Huffaker. Their partnership developed as they began the boundary-defying work of identifying and reinterpreting ancient folkloric music seldom heard in its authentic entirety. The initial partnership is supplanted by a crew representative of the Bay Area's music scene.

I've been loving the combination of glitter and matte top coats these days so I wanted to do a Christmas design based on that. I picked my favorite Christmas-y polishes and went to town!
Also, I'm playing around with hand posing and photography a bit. So, for the next week or so, my photos might be all over the place. Sorry!
(Please ignore the unsightly cut on my middle finger. I had a run-in with a cardboard box.)
I started with OPI Danke-shiny Red on all nails. On my thumb and ring finger I did two coats of Sinful Colors Holiday Rebel. The gradient on my pinky and middle fingers is Danke-shiny Red and Sally Hansen Silver Sweep and is topped with my un-named green Snowman Nails glitter. I used that same glitter on my index finger. I topped everything with Julep Matte Top Coat and attached two large Christmas tree glitters so my index finger.
The finished product is super sparkly and fun and just slightly muted by the matte top coat. Being mattified, though, somehow makes the glitter seem to glow. It also makes Danke-shiny Red look almost like velvet. :)
