Votre Vu Review – Scam Or Legitimate MLM Business?
Welcome to my Votre Vu Review!
Votre Vu is a relatively new Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) Company that is quickly becoming a leader in offering skin care products.
Votre Vu has had an extremely successful start, but do they offer a legitimate MLM home business opportunity, or should they be considered a scam or pyramid scheme?
In this Votre Vu Review, I will be providing some background on this company, their products, and more importantly, their MLM business opportunity as an Independent Brand Ambassador. This is my unbiased Votre Vu Review.
Company Details & History
In January of 2007, an American Entrepreneur by the name of Harold Zimmerman went straight to the heart of France to bring back the best naturally-based skin care products at prices lower than comparable products. For a year and a half, Harold Zimmerman and his team of business and creative minds worked alongside their French partners to formulate and uniquely brand their custom regiments of luxurious skin care products. These events led to the launch of Votre Vu on September 10th, 2008.
Within the first two months of Votre Vu's existence, they generated nearly $1 Million in sales, and recruited more than 1,200 Independent Brand Ambassadors in all 50 states. No small accomplishment for a start-up company if you ask me!
Product Line
The Votre Vu Product line is vast, offering products related to:
- Nutritional Beverages
- Skin care for your face, normal and dry skin, sensitive skin, trouble skin, and mature skin.
- Cleansers
- Masques & Scrubs
- Tonics
- Face Cremes
- Serums
- Eye Lip & Hand
- Body
- Sun
- Hair
- Treats
- Products for Men
All Votre Vu products are offered exclusively through Independent Brand Ambassadors, representing the MLM business opportunity that they are growing popular for.
MLM Business – How their opportunity works
The cost to become a Votre Vu Brand Ambassador will start with an annual fee of $59. However, if you submit more than 500 Business Volume (BV) in orders throughout the year, this annual fee will be discounted to $29.
Purchase Requirement
Next, you will need to select a product pack. There are two to choose from for business builders.
- startMeup Pak for $199
- Premium startMeup Pak for $399
Questions that must be asked…
Before enrolling and submitting your initial product pack purchase, I would encourage you to learn more details directly from a Brand Ambassador.
Typically in MLM businesses, this decision process will directly influence your placement and earning potential within a company's compensation plan.
In most cases, the more that you spend on your initial order, the more you are qualified to earn. This important decision will make a tremendous impact on your overall career earnings if you intend to take this opportunity seriously, and attempt to build a profitable long-term business.
Along with your startMeup Pak purchase, you will receive your personal website for the first year at no additional charge. After the first year, this will be an additional $99 per year. This website is optional, but highly recommended if you wish to provide your business with an online presence.
Ongoing Requirements
You will also be highly encouraged to enroll into their AutoShip program, which will automatically bill and ship products to your home every month.
This AutoShip program will help you to maintain your active status with the required minimum of 50 BV in any given 4 week period. Maintaining your active status is required to remain qualified to earn from the Votre Vu Compensation Plan.
Ambassador Training & Support
As a Votre Vu Ambassador, you will primarily sell products through the means of Votre Vu Soirees (home parties). Your mission will be to schedule these soirees in the homes of as many friends and relatives as possible. You will encourage your loved ones to invite many of their friends and family members to attend.
Hosting Rewards Program
Votre Vu offers a Hosting Rewards program, which you will offer as an incentive to your friends and family members to host a soiree of their very own. This rewards program will reward them with free skin care products, and substantial product discounts based upon the sales that are generated by you in their home.
At each Soiree that you schedule, you will display and demonstrate products, accept orders, and schedule your next Soiree with any willing hostesses. This will also be the basis of your recruiting efforts to sponsor new Brand Ambassadors into your organization by expressing your passion for their products and your business.
Compensation – How to earn
Brand Ambassadors earn 30% on every product that they sell. As they recruit new Ambassadors into their organization, they will earn sizable override commissions based upon the personal production of their downline members as well.
At the bottom of this Votre Vu Review, you will find a link that will provide the exact details of how Ambassadors are rewarded for their efforts of building a Votre Vu Business!
Getting started…
The Votre Vu business plan to achieving success is relatively simple, and is a three step process:
- Use the products yourself and maintain your active status.
- Share Votre Vu products with others.
- Find two other Brand Ambassadors from within your warm market of friends and family members to do the same.
Votre Vu Review Conclusion
In my opinion, Votre Vu is a very legitimate business. They are a young company, but have proven that they are a company with a mission of becoming a leader in their industry. Their skin care products are highly praised by many satisfied customers, proving that they offer quality products for their Brand Ambassadors to promote and sell.
If you enjoy the benefits of their products, and wish to share them with your family and friends in a home party environment, I believe that Votre Vu offers a solid business opportunity with great products.
Next, learn the exact details of how Votre Vu Brand Ambassadors are rewarded as my Votre Vu Review continues with their Compensation Plan!
This concludes my Votre Vu Review! If you have found my Votre Vu Review to be helpful, or if you have anything to add, please provide your feedback below!

As you build your business, you'll find that one of the most important things you need is great employees. Many times the "perfect" employee you are looking for is not going to be near your place of business.
Don't let that stop you. Leverage technology to enable them to work for you and serve your customer remotely.
Inc Magazine writes about this.
Do you know the perfect person for your company's key job opening but they live in another state and can't pick up and move? In today's "virtual" companies that doesn't have to disqualify them. Technology is allowing the creation of a new breed of companies where talent and experience trump geography in hiring personnel. In this environment, it is critically important for IT to be on top of the various infrastructures that maximize the productivity of remote employees, while preserving the security of company data. In this month's column I'll discuss some of the key pieces of this puzzle.

Who's the Driver?
Hi. I'm Lisa, a travel addict whose favorite way to get into the moment is…to travel off the beaten path. It's what I've been doing off and on for over 15 years and I wouldn't have it any other way.
The reason? The cool stuff that happens when I do it. Every one of my trips is a unique experience full of fun, adventure, quirky moments, cultural exchange and introspection. And self-discovery.
This can happen anywhere–even on a chicken bus, full of passengers and maybe a chicken or two, speeding through the Andes Mts. It can also happen right at home…although there truly is something about travel that makes the process more dynamic, intense and accelerated.
Chicky Bus Philosophy
It's really quite simple. I believe that when you put yourself out there—off the beaten path—and take some risks (nothing crazy; just stepping outside of your comfort zone a bit), amazing things can happen. Random encounters lead to an unexpected journeys. That, by the way, is what my new book, Magic Carpet Seduction: Travel Tales Off the Beaten Path, is about.
As you explore this site, you will see that travel mimics life and vice versa. Travel, if you think about it, is figurative and literal. It helps you get there—wherever "there" is—on a variety of levels. Most people want to:
- be more in the moment
- let go of the past
- face fear
- feel empowered
- find their bliss
Can travel help you accomplish this? Absolutely. However you approach it and wherever you go, chances are that you'll find yourself along the way.
Who Am I When Off the Bus?
The truth is—I'm not sure I'm ever actually 'off the bus.' I tend to make almost every day an adventure of some sort—no matter where I am.
I'm a bit nomadic, but not a nomad, per se. I've lived abroad twice and now take a few times a year, sometimes for 6 weeks at a time. How's this possible? I'm an ESL professor at a 2-year college and have summers off. And no, I didn't get into teaching for this reason–I truly fell in love with the job because it's creative and puts me in the moment. Having said this, I must say that it's an awfully nice perk that I would never want to give up!
By the way, I used to work in the corporate world and sort of fell into teaching after making one split-second decision…while traveling in Ecuador. I suppose that was one of my early Chicky Bus moments. And here's why….
I followed my intuition and broke away from the tour group, stepping off a bus (non-chicken) that was heading somewhere I didn't feel like going…and ended up somewhere better…the right place. One thing led to another, and two months later, I picked up and moved to Ecuador. My life changed in myriad ways—for the better—and has never been the same. (This is the subject of another book I'm working on…stay tuned!)
Incidentally, I tend to travel solo/independently mostly (I take some day tours and am open to the idea of longer ones) and it's usually on the higher end of low budget, which means the occasional chicken bus ride.
However, truth be told, I more often than not splurge on something a little more comfy.
The Bottom Line
Sure, Chicky Bus style travel is slightly risky and a little edgy, but it's rewarding and often life-changing. What will the next moment bring? Who will you meet along the way? It could be the man of your dreams in the seat next to you….or a chicken, who's actually the Buddha, in disguise.
Let's ride the Chicky Bus together—here on this website and out there—and find ourselves…off the beaten path.
Don't want to miss the juicy 'bus bytes' unique to this site? Then, hop on board…

What Readers/'Riders' Think of C Bus
"Lisa is a great storyteller with a quirky sense of humor. She's like a magnet for off-beat adventures. Her travel writing is usually very people-focused and descriptive—which is good for the reader, because she meets the most interesting people when she travels! She also has a knack for writing thought-provoking posts about the ethical quandaries we sometimes encounter when traveling to other cultures."

To access all of our content, please subscribe now. You may also offer additional support with your subscription, or donate.By Kaitlin Mara and William New A meeting tentatively scheduled for late Wednesday evening to mediate differences of opinion on three intellectual property issues was postponed, at least until Thursday, when consultations may move into smaller groups, sources say.There have been several days of meetings and informal consultations in this week's World Trade Organization ministerial, but little sign of convergence between those who want to see the IP issues move towards text-based negotiations this week and those who think discussing these issues now will jeopardise the already-delicate state of negotiations.Jonas Gahr Støre, foreign minister for Norway, was appointed chair of the TRIPS issues this week by WTO Director General Pascal Lamy at Wednesday morning's informal Trade Negotiations Committee. One source explained that this was due to his previous experience with intellectual property law. Trade ministers are meeting in Geneva from 21 to 27 July (and perhaps later).The three issues in question are: the creation of an international register on geographical indications – product names associated with a place and characteristics – on wines and spirits, the possibility of extending high level protection on geographical indications to products other than wines and spirits, and a proposed amendment to the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) agreement that would bring it in line with obligations under the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).Only the GI register is mandated by the 2001 Doha Declaration guiding this week's talks, though there is a direction within the Doha agreement for delegates "to explore the relationship between TRIPS and the CBD."Those who support GI extension have formed a strategic alliance with the "friends of the CBD," and have argued that these issues should be discussed this week in hopes of seeing text-based negotiations in the near future. They represent a majority of WTO members. This group is also arguing for the GI register.The other group supports the "joint proposal" on the GI register which calls for the register to be voluntary, entered in a database. This group opposes GI extension, and has "nuanced views" on the CBD issue, according to one source.Members are expected to be informed Thursday morning of the next consultation, if it takes place, possibly on short notice."Its a bit of a disappointment, though probably too early to interpret that," an official from a proponent country said of Wednesday's delay. Støre was "keen" to hold the meeting on Wednesday evening, as were the proponents, the official said. It would not be held "only if there was no willingness to engage" on the opponents' side, which appears to have been the case, said the official. Yet there is no time to lose, the official added, as the weeklong ministerial is well-advanced.A separate proponent delegate who was in the meeting said this delay "is not necessarily an indication that things went badly in consultations" on Wednesday afternoon. Instead, the source suggested that the chair had needed more time for understanding all of the positions in order to better mediate.A delegate from the side not wishing to discuss IP issues this week emphasised that "there are no opponents" to IP issues; instead there are "proponents of the joint proposal on the [GI] register" who oppose GI extension and "have common objectives on the CBD."Two consultations were held on Wednesday with Støre.The first was among the proponents of discussing TRIPS issues this week, and included Brazil, the Côte d'Ivoire (representing the Africa Group), the European Union, India, Mauritius (representing the Least Developed Country Group), and Peru, an official said.The second was among the "joint proposal" proponents, who oppose discussing TRIPS issues this week, and included Australia, Argentina, Canada, Chile, Japan, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States, according to a source.It is possible the next step will be consultations with the chair and individuals or small groups, to hear their concerns and try to find where "assurances" would help to allow the issues to be brought into the negotiations, the proponent official said.Proponents also have asked in the Green Room meetings with Director General Pascal Lamy this week what assurances opponents would need, but have not been able to get them to engage on the issue, the official said.Kaitlin Mara may be reached at email@example.com.

I originally wrote this piece two years ago and stumbled upon it recently. It was a message I needed to hear again. Though my struggle with connecting with God lately is real and raw – the reminder to find a deeper state of resting is ringing true in my heart. So today I share again for us all.
What do you find yourself doing in the pauses of life?
The moments where there's nothing on the calendar, a cancelled meeting, or perhaps a quiet hour alone…do you rest? Read? Cross off a few things on your to-do list? Turn on the tv?
Not long ago, I had a couple days that were more full than usual with conversations and time with friends. My spirit was feeling lifted and thankful for those sweet moments. It was a cherished respite from the alone time that normally fills my days – something that often is a necessity due to how miserable this disease can make me feel.
I purposefully left the rest of the week open, knowing my body would need the rest and recovery time. Back when I was working, on-the-go and we were having company most weeks, I think I would have embraced the moments as time slots. Space to fill with a few things I just "had to get done."
I carried so much stress then and it was a struggle listening to my body (and my husband) telling me I needed to rest. It was easy to feel like my tendency to stay busy was justified. But I remember the consequences well.
In the many moments of resting and alone time I have, there are many areas of my life and character that feel strained by my physical limitations.
And this whole idea of "resting well" has been heavily on my mind and heart.
I can be forced to rest on the couch due to my health most days, but there's an even deeper state of resting I think God may want to cultivate in my soul.
Our hearts and minds can be just as on-the-go as our bodies, if not more so. I can find my heart dwelling for too long on the things I can't change and want to. The people I care for, and all of the things I think I need to do, but physically can't.
I can busily occupy my thought space with worry, frustration and what ifs. But I know there is freedom when I can find rest and let go of the things I struggle so hard to hold on to.
Breathe in these free brain vibes!
Download your free eBook where I'll share 3 neuroplasticity-based techniques that you can use to help cool down your brain and support your health.
These practices have been a part of a huge shift in my own health and I want to share what I've learned to help YOU!
While I do believe there is good found in being productive and having a schedule (major planner here), there is also so much good in unplugging and carving out quiet time for our soul, mind and bodies to rest.
To refocus on those things we value most. Those that truly are the most important. Quality time with loved ones, quiet time connecting with God, loving others well, rest for the soul, and taking care of my health need to be at the top of my list.
Above the rest of the noise that can constantly invade my thoughts, my dreams, my state of being.
So today, in the busy hum of whatever our day holds, I pray we can carve out even a moment's pause of rest. An opportunity to recognize a piece of beauty in the day and breathe a sigh of relief as we let go of whatever it is we're holding onto so tightly.
This day is precious. We are here for a purpose. We're loved.
May we consciously choose to live in the comforting, peace-giving shadow of our Father, for however long we can muscle our restless hearts into sitting still in that place.
Psalm 91:1 – those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

January 4, 2008
The attached document is a copy of a letter that I received last week from United States Senator Richard Shelby's office (AL-R) in response to my brief statement on man's undeniably negative impact on the environment and on the world's oceans. In early December, my reply was originally sent to The Wall Street Journal after reading an editorial questioning the science behind climate change and Al Gore's Nobel Prize. My comments pointed to man's current destruction to our oceans through runoff pollution, erosion, over-harvesting of fish, and dead and dying coral reefs as proof to man's ability to harm our world. My words can be read in their entirety by clicking on the following link: http://toxicnation.blogspot.com/2007/12/are-we-destroying-mother-earth.html.
During the past year, I have written to Senator Shelby and to the rest of the Alabama Congressional Delegation on a number of political issues as I became aware of them and was so moved to act. In addition, to sharing my essays with this audience I have also included Shelby and other members of Congress when relevant. This is the fourth such letter that I have received from him and the closest to hitting its mark. However, this correspondence appears to be another pushbutton computer-generated propaganda ready to be mailed out and to pacify one of his state's four million constituents like myself and not to affirm the truths in my specific points. Like most of their political replies, these lawmakers always seem to conveniently straddle both sides of an issue at the same time, how diplomatic of them. They're always saying so much while saying so little – what leaders.
As I began reading Shelby's position on global warming immediately thoughts of the Iraq War popped into my mind. Based on his letter, it seems that the benchmark for passing climate change legislation and getting the President to sign a bill into law is so high when compared to the relatively low threshold for starting this pointless war. President George W. Bush and the then Republican-controlled Congress had vitally no evidence for justifying the swift attack on Saddam Hussein and Iraq after 9/11. Thus, the Administration resorted to manufacturing lies about Iraq possessing large stockpiles of WMD (weapons of mass destruction) and being a real threat to the United States. After the war began their claims proved false.
Five years later, nearly four thousand American servicemen and women are dead along with an estimated six hundred thousand Iraqis whose only crime for most of them was living in that sand trap. Those deaths are permanent and irreversible unlike any global warming legislation that could potentially affect the only bellwether that seems to matter to Wall Street and this White House – our economy. None of the lost lives can ever be brought back to life and reunited with their families. The bar for signing a law on climate change is about as high as the once mighty New York City's World Trade Center twin towers.
Shelby and his fellow Republicans ridiculous logic towards both of these issues is so interesting to me, yet troubling in their inconsistency and shallowness of the legislative process. It reveals just a little more about why our dysfunctional federal government doesn't really work. It's almost laughable if it weren't so tragic. Why wasn't Marine Major Jay Thomas Aubin, one of the first U.S. soldiers to die in the Iraq War, not worthy of the same consideration as our seemingly delicate trillion-dollar economy is as President Bush would have us all believe? Aubin was fighting for their "freedom" while we remain hostage to the U.S. dollar.
"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts."

Dear Mr. Burnett:
Thank you for contacting me about global warming. I appreciate you sharing your views on this matter.
Global warming continues to be an issue of significant debate in Congress and throughout the scientific community. In addition, important scientific research is ongoing as there are still many questions that must be answered before we take steps to address this issue. For example, is the climate change phenomenon cyclical or is it a function of manmade pollutants, or both? I believe the science must be firmly grounded before we take any actions that could seriously cripple many sectors of our economy.
Our great nation contains some of the most diverse and valuable natural resources in the world, and every effort must be must maintain the integrity of our country's vast environment, but not at the expense of the economic well-being of the community. Rest assured, I will keep your thoughts in mind should relevant legislation come before the full Senate during the 110th Congress.
Thank you again for your correspondence. If I may be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

The dramatic progression of global economy continues to be gone combined with the improving demand for services of consumption. Today, to compete collectively and survive in global market, companies implements group of different strategies to attract more and more customers. Plastic bags are viewed a powerful tool to brand company and publish their information. Your best option for marketing by plastic bags is ΤΣΑΝΤΑ ΧΕΙΡΟΣ ΩΜΟΥ the luxury type among different kinds of plastic bags.
Rigid handle bags can be done from HDPE (high density polyethylene), MDPE (medium density polyethylene), and LDPE (low density polyethylene). The prominent of products made from polyethylene is durability, water-resistance which lengthens the lifespan service of bags. Especially, printing in the HDPE, MDPE helps to make the logo on surface beautiful, more professional and eye-catching.
Rigid handle bag is preferred to be reused by customers. These bags offer the strongest and the majority of reliable handle available and in most cases better thickness compared to other types. It raises the ability to load heavy weight and appear more luxury. You will find 2 main kinds available in rigid handle bags: the most prevalent one with black, white, blue color rigid handle and clip loop handle bag. The second is generally created with the "bridge" between two elements of the 73dexdpky to make it stronger. This sort is much more expensive and preferred for packaging luxury products (clothes, perfume, cell phone…)
Because rigid handle bags are specially employed for luxury shopping products, companies usually customize the design with assorted requirements for manufacturing firms. The innovation and improvement in machine system now help industrial manufacturers meet almost requirements: as much as 7 colors using one surface, total 14 colors for both sides, ink coverage 100%, top-fold, bottom-fold with cardboard.
Those characteristics make the excellent advantages for companies who want to attract potential customers and keep your brands at high position in markets and people life. At the same time, more beautiful packaging improves the grade of products and receiving out of the logo, company name, website, products, location… contribute substantially to advertising name brand of company.

Finished, or ready to finish?
The Flower Power Throw is finished. Or rather, I'm finished with the knitting, and I'm ready to finish the blanket.
All the ends are woven in.
And today, this fabric arrived:
I'm so happy - I think it will make a wonderful backing for the blanket. It's Anna Maria Horner flannel - the sundance stack, which I bought here. I'm contemplating cutting 36 squares, though I could just do 4 squares. Doing a big 6x6 grid gives some natural places to tie through the blanket.
At one time, I thought we'd use this fabric.
but this will be so much better. My sister Marilyn has been fantasizing about sewing, and passed on the Anna Maria Horner site -- I'm so glad she did.

Publisher's Description▼▲
Who was Jesus? A prophet? There have been many of those. A miracle-worker? A radical revolutionary? A wise teacher? There have been many of these, too. In his latest book, renowned Scripture scholar Gerhard Lohfink asks, What is unique about Jesus of Nazareth, and what did he really want?
Lohfink engages the perceptions of the first witnesses of his life and ministry and those who handed on their testimony. His approach is altogether historical and critical, but he agrees with Karl Barth's statement that "historical criticism has to be more critical."
Lohfink takes seriously the fact that Jesus was a Jew and lived entirely in and out of Israel's faith experiences but at the same time brought those experiences to their goal and fulfillment. The result is a convincing and profound picture of Jesus.
Author Bio▼▲
Editorial Reviews▼▲
Father Mark G. Boyer, The Priest
"Crisp and very readable prose. . . .Lohfink has fresh things to say about Jesus' teaching through parables, about his sayings about judgment and, especially, about understanding Jesus' miracles. . . . Having read and studied, Jesus of Nazareth (and squirreled it away as a rich resource for future preaching and having been truly moved spiritually by it), I can agree with Daniel Harrington, S.J. [author of Jesus: A Historical Portrait]: "Lohfink's Jesus of Nazareth is the best Jesus book I know."

Hi there and welcome, although sorry you had to come here.
Just type your story and see what people say. If this is about drugs or a child who is close to 18 you may want to post on the forums Substance Abuse or Parent Emeritus instead of here. Up to you.

Mauritius Hotel and Holiday
Mauritius is amongst one of the most beautiful places to visit in the Indian Ocean. If you remembered about an extincted bird-species called 'Dodo', this island was where they belong. So, if you plan a holiday be sure to include Mauritius among the other places you want to visit. Mauritius is a tropical island found close to other neighbouring islands such as Reunion and Rodrigues. Its white sandy beaches along with its turquoise lagoons offer an unforgettable moment to those who come to the island. Mauritius has successfully managed to position itself as an exotic beach destination. With beach destinations so plentiful, this has been sustained not by mere hype, but by the substance there is to this claim. Visitors are drawn to Mauritius by the reputation of its 140 km of white sand beaches, and the superb opportunities for water sports.
Those who come to the island do not miss the opportunity to stay or have a visit there. The place is packed with all the attractions most tourists would love. These include Mauritius hotels, restaurants, pubs, discotheques, Mauritius airport transfer, marketplace, and much more. For those who simply love the sea, all sorts of activities have been carefully designed to meet their needs. Activities range from snorkeling to submarine ventures. In brief, Grand Baie is one of the best places to go in Mauritius if you want a maximum of fun. Even locals make the drive to Grand Baie if they want to enjoy the various nightlife activities.
During their stay at the hotel Mauritius, tourists get a royal service. All their needs are looked after so that they live an unforgettable moment and want to come back another time. The economy of Mauritius is partly based on tourism. So, pleasing the customer well will definitely be an advantage for the constitution in terms of foreign currency and equally for all the locals.

Anna Konstantinova, model
Everyone knows that the model should be tall and it is one of the necessary conditions for working in the modeling industry. However, for a successful modeling career it isn't the most important thing. You need to have an interesting appearance and, of course, believe in yourself. Famous Kate Moss has already proved it.
And just have a look at Anna Konstantinova, stunning Russian-born model. The girl is only 163 cm in height. Anna is considered to be an Australian model, but, in fact, she is Russian.
The girl was born in 1990 in St. Petersburg, Russia. At the beginning of the new century her family decided to move to Australia, where they settled in Melbourne. Her mother, a dancer, joined the Australian Ballet. And in Melbourne Anna started her modeling career.
She has been turned down by major agencies because she's too short for a model. Confidence, an ability to project yourself and determination are far more valuable than being tall and skinny.
Konstantinova is like a little copy of Lara Stone.
Anna participated in Fashion Week, and has attracted attention. The model is popular among many fashion photographers. She participated in advertising campaigns for Stylestalker, Wildfox, Bershka and Urban Outfitter.
She also posed for Vogue, GQ, Lovecat Magazine, Tangent, and made several works for Grazia, Marie Claire and Jalouse.
Australian label Style Stalker invited Anna to become the main protagonist of the collection under the intriguing title Baby's on Fire.

This past weekend we headed to Apex, NC to visit a great train museum. They have train rides each hour on one day a month, and Owen could not have been more excited! At the front of the area they had set up some G scale trains. Owen enjoyed seeing Thomas, and Amtrak, and the other trains riding around.
Then we headed to the train we were to take a ride on. It was pulled by a diesel train. We took Greyson with us as well which was probably a mistake because he got SUPER hot even when we stripped down all of his clothes and fanned him off. Owen had a blast though.
Owen loved looking out the sides of the open car at the Forrest.
We had a great time at the New Hope Valley Railway! We hope to go back at least once more before we move to an unknown location!

6 Ways to Recover From an Office Blow-up
Published: May 08, 2012
By Anita Bruzzese, freelance writer on topics related to workplace/career issues
Nothing gets the juices flowing faster at work than a tiff between colleagues. Angry words and loud voices can spark gossip for days, and co-workers are as mesmerized by that kind of interaction as if Mike Tyson just showed up for a title fight.
But it's a whole different scenario if you're the one involved at the center of the spat. You may be feeling angry, confused, hurt and perhaps even a bit worried about how the blow-up might hurt your career and possibly affect your reputation at the company.
While you may truly regret the blow-up or still be simmering deep down, the key after a public confrontation is to quickly patch up the damage and move on.
You need to:
· Admit how you're feeling. The office is no place to deal with feelings of hurt or anger; you're better off unburdening yourself later to a trusted friend or family member. For right now, don't cry in the stairwell or screech out of the parking lot in your car, or you'll just add to the gossip.
· Go to the bathroom. Psychological research has shown that the act of washing your hands can make you feel like you're washing away bad feelings and help you start fresh. Do some deep belly breathing to ease your anxiety and look in the mirror to make sure your body language looks relaxed before returning to your desk.
· Ask to meet privately. Don't let a disagreement at work fester. It's too important that teams function seamlessly, and an internal conflict can undermine goals and cause the boss to be very unhappy. Ask to meet in a conference room or even offsite in a coffee shop to settle a dispute with someone. If you try and talk with co-workers nearby, the other person's ego may prompt him or her to overreact and may lead to another blow-up.
· Show you mean it. Studies have shown that 93 percent of any message is delivered non-verbally. That means you shouldn't approach the conversation with your arms tightly crossed and your eyes darting around the room. Calm your tone of voice, speak with hand gestures that are open, and use "I" statements (for example, "I feel there is a problem with my request and that you may be delaying the process with unnecessary research. That makes me feel frustrated because I can't move forward with this project which I believe will bring in new clients.")
· Be gracious. If the other person makes a valid point, say so. If you're proven wrong, admit it. If you owe the other person an apology, deliver it sincerely.
· Keeping score. The goal of this conversation is not for someone to be proven right or wrong, but to agree on a resolution so that you can work together. You don't have to be best friends, but if you want your career to stay on track then you must be someone who is not perceived to hold a grudge but rather focuses on moving forward.
At times, tensions at work may run high because there are so many demands. But just remember that you spend a lot of time with your colleagues, and not resolving an argument may add to your stress and prevent you from being as productive as possible. So in the end, smoothing things over makes a lot of sense.

Explaining a dynamic CGE simulation with a trade-focused back-of-the-envelope analysis: the effects of eCommerce on Australia
This paper was written in honour of Peter J. Lloyd on the occasion of his retirement and celebrates his preeminence as a theorist and practitioner of the economics of international trade. Besides a surprising number of leading trade theorists, Australia has added significantly to empirical work on trade issues via applied general equilibrium models, especially the ORANI and MONASH models. This paper focuses on one intriguing new topic, namely, the welfare and other economy-wide effects of the development of eCommerce. The direct effects of eCommerce are presented to the Monash model as shocks to 14 sets of technology, preference and trade variables. The shocks were suggested in group discussions with people knowledgeable in the operation of eCommerce and drawn from the sectors most likely to be affected by it. On the conservative assumptions made about the size of the shocks, eCommerce will after about 10 years allow a sustained increase in private and public real consumption of about 3 per cent. This and other results of the MONASH simulation are explained with the help of a relatively simple and small BOTE (back-of-the-envelope) model.

text: If you've ever been stressed in or from life (and which obviously you have been), you know that stress can accumulate and manifest itself in your body. But most often it originates in the mind. In this fast running world the to-do lists can feel never ending, leaving very little time for self-care. It's imperative to set aside some time every day to focus on your own health and well-being. This will help you reduce stress, prevent sickness and disease and help slow down the aging process. Try these yoga poses — each one simple enough that anyone can do them — and, with time, you will see your flexibility improve, your stress levels reduce and notice a refreshing feeling of well-being and inner peace.

text: KodeTen 44 Report post Posted August 3, 2016 Ladies and gentlemen; As I'm sure you have all seen iamApropos' recent announcement regarding his streaming career and time at the head of the ATeamGC. (Click the link for those of you who have no idea what I'm on about.) I'm going to make this message short, sweet, and to the point, as those of us on the Admin side of the house for this community have a lot of work to do regarding this all, but I want you all to know that this is not going to affect your experience with the A-Team Gaming Community. Speaking from very personal experience, I know exactly what it is that Paul is going through right now. I want you all to understand that he did not take this decision lightly (We admins had some advance warning on this and I will tell you he agonized over it.) but at the end of it, Paul had to do what is best for his health and his family. As we understand it, the current expectation that we have is Paul is on an extended break in order to get his affairs back under control after some major life events have just occurred. It's entirely plausible and expected that he will return, that return just won't be happening in the immediate future. So what's that mean for us? Put it on pause and wait it out, or go our separate ways until el Capitan returns to pilot the boat? Hell no! The Administration team of the ATeamGC has been working with Paul over these past few weeks and we are fully prepared to keep driving forward with this awesome community we have all worked to build. We've been reaching out to vendors and influencers and I assure you it's a great time to be involved with us. We may not have IamApropos conducting his regular streams, but that does not mean we as the ATeamGC are going to dissolve and die off. We've worked too hard and created too strong of bonds for that. The community leads are working together to put together a streaming program we can all support as members of this community. Yes, Paul needs to take a break, we respect that and we expect you all to respect that, we also want to carry on because the ATGC is it's own animal with it's own momentum. This is our personal belief as your administration team here. So Keep Calm and Carry On! It's a great time to be a gamer and the future of ATGC is gonna be even greater. We promise. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the Community leadership team: KodeTen | KGoto | MaxCFM | Eminencehwp03 | DealLaRue18 | Arkcry 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

General Rules
All articles should contain a strong lead, an article-body that develops and delivers on the lead, and a definitive conclusion with an international audience in mind. Articles should address "who, what, when, where, and how." Articles must be accompanied by telephone phone number and a valid email address, and church affiliation. Our first priority is the African Methodist Episcopal Church.
- All articles for publication will be screened, proofed and edited.
- Unused articles and photos will not be returned.
- Articles should be applicable to the African Methodist Episcopal Church and its constituencies.
- Articles should uplift, encourage, and educate. The Christian Recorder will also consider articles that are critical of our Zion but those articles must be balanced and offer viable alternatives.
- Articles submitted to The Christian Recorder should not be submitted simultaneously to another publication nor be under consideration by another publisher at the time of submission.
- If the article is a reprint, written reprint permission must accompany the article.
- Please, do no "cut and paste" or copy articles from other sources. We will not accept plagiarized articles!
Article Types and Submission Procedures
Articles for The Christian Recorder are classified into three types: Opinion Pieces, Feature/Event Stories, and Annual Conference Reports.
- Opinion Editorials (Op-Eds) should be between 300-500 words to be considered.
- Feature/Event stories should be between 500-750 words. We are especially interested in local church ministry stories (For example: after-school tutoring, homeless feeding, senior citizen outreach). Feature/Event Stories must be submitted within 60 calendar days of the event to be considered for publication
- Annual Conference articles should be no longer than 1000 words. The easiest way to summarize the Annual Conference is to take the Report of the Resolution Committee and remove the perambulatory and enacting clauses (e.g., "Whereas," "Be it Resolved," etc.), along with any unnecessary verbiage. Pastoral appointments can also be included and will not be counted against the word limit. Annual Conference Reports must be submitted within 60 calendar days of the close of the Annual Conference to be considered for publication.
Articles not adhering to these guidelines will be edited for length and may be returned to the sender to be revised. We do not publish sermons. To publish a sermon in an AME periodical, contact The AME Review.
Only electronic submissions are accepted. No hard-copy or handwritten articles will be accepted. The preferred method for submission is through the form on the website. Persons unable to utilize this form may email articles to email@example.com. Emailed articles should be in a PC-compatible Microsoft Word format, 12 pt., Times New Roman, Verdana, Arial, Courier, etc., and sent as an email attachment. Do not email articles within the body of an email or submit through social media messages.
The preferred format for photos is in an electronic JPEG, TIFF or PNG file. Please upload the photos, together with the article, via the online form or email as an attachment to firstname.lastname@example.com. Do not include the photo in the body of the article. Photos that are mailed in can be accepted only if they are actual photos and not copies or printed on plain paper.
The prices for including photos are as follows
First Photo (emailed): Free
First Photo (mailed): US$10 dollars
Additional photos (emailed): US$10 per photo
Additional photos (mailed): US$15 per photo
Arrangements for payment of the fees must be made within 48 hours of notification of acceptance from The Christian Recorder Office. Credit card information can be called in to the main office at 615-601-0450. Checks can be made payable to "The Christian Recorder," with the memo, "Photos." The article will not be printed until payment has been received and processed.
All photos must have credit-lines, even if the photo(s) of the article was taken by the writer of the article. All articles with photos taken by someone other than the writer must include the photographer's name and attest that the photo(s) are used "with permission."
Social Media (Facebook and Twitter)
The Christian Recorder maintains an active social media presence and reposts relevant articles and links to its pages and accounts on a periodic basis. Links submitted for posting must adhere to the "General Rules" for articles and should uplift, encourage, and educate. The Christian Recorder will also consider articles that are critical of our Zion but those articles must be balanced and offer viable alternatives.
Candidates' Guidelines for Submitting Items to The Christian Recorder
The Christian Recorder will consider Opinion pieces and News/Events articles from persons who have declared themselves as candidates for office at the 51st Quadrennial Session of the General Conference. Articles must not reference the candidate's aspirations. Advertisements are available and can be purchased.
Style Guidelines
- Check the submitted article carefully and get the article right the first time! If you have to correct an article, resend the entire corrected article.
- All articles must have the name of the author(s) as a part of the article. Please provide the author's title, e.g., Mr., Mrs., Ms., or Miss (Miss is without a period because it is not an abbreviation), Dr., the Rev., Attorney, Licentiate, Deaconess, Chaplain, etc.
- Do not abbreviate "Brother" or "Sister" when used as titles.
- When "Reverend" or "Right Reverend" is used before a name, "Reverend/Rev." should be preceded by "the" because "Reverend/Rev." is not a noun. It is an adjective and should always be preceded by "the," especially in formal settings and in formal written documents.
- The Discipline should be referred to as "The Doctrine and Discipline of the African Methodist Episcopal Church 2012." Do not reference older editions of The Discipline when addressing current issues.
- Writers are discouraged from using acronyms and figures of speech that do not translate efficiently into foreign languages and other cultures. Examples like "GMKT" and phrases like, "Bring home the bacon," "just pulling your leg," or "That's mixing apples and oranges" should be avoided.
- Please use upper and lower case text. No all-upper-case or all-lower-case-texts.
- Single-space all articles.
- Make sure all names are spelled correctly.
- "The" is used before nouns. For instance, in a sentence, you would not say, "Blue car is fast" because "blue" as used in the sentence is an adjective and the correct way to form the sentence would be, "The blue car was fast" or "When we went to the racetrack, the blue car was fast." It would not be correct to say, "Blue car was fast."
- Only use one space after periods.
- Spell-check and use standard grammar for your region. Due to national differences, we understand that there are variations in acceptable grammar and spelling.
- For other questions, refer to the Associated Press Stylebook.
(Revised 1/2017)

My fiance and I just reserved Latrobe's on Royal for our wedding reception. I am looking for any reviews on the food at the venue. Were there any items that were amazing and a must have, any thing kinda fall flat?
We really like that they had a chef on staff that can create a unqiue menu for our wedding. I am just trying to gage from some readers past experiences what was good.
The chef also owns the resturant Bouche (I think that what its called) So any comments on that resturant are gladly received as well.

RUSH: Media Fretting Over Iraq Happening When Obama's Going On Vacation To Martha's Vineyard
RUSH: You know, I've been noting lately how crazy everything is, how upside down, nothing makes sense, it's all surreal. I mean, what's next? Is Obama gonna start talking about the need to bomb Iraq? Oh, wait.
Uhhh, he did that. You ought to see it, too. The Drive-Bys, man, they're so upset. It might not look good to go on vacation. Poor Obama. The damn Yazidis or whatever they are in Iraq, they're screwing up Martha's Vineyard. It's amazing, poor Obama, he's just trying so hard but he may not be able to go on vacation because of this, and if he does, it may not look good. Oh, well. BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I got one more sound bite I want to play, just to give you an illustration of something I mentioned early in the program. This is the media fretting over all of this happening right when Obama is supposed to go to Martha's Vineyard. This stupid stuff in Iraq, damn it, it just puts Obama in a really tough spot, damn it.

All Our Names, a Novel by Dinaw Mengestu
Wednesday, March 19, 2014
Dinaw Mengestu talks about his latest novel, All Our Names. It's the story of two young men who come of age during an African revolution, drawn from the safe confines of the university into the clamor of the streets. But as the line between idealism and violence becomes increasingly blurred, the friends are driven apart—one into danger, the other into the safety of exile in America, where he is haunted by the friend he left behind.
