Wines for Humanity, What is it you may ask yourself?
We are a Wine Sampling Event company dedicated to introducing the public to fine wines while raising funds for charity. Our delicious wines are sourced from award-winning vineyards the world over.
The hosts of these private Wine Sampling Events and their guests relax and enjoy the wines in a fun, educational environment.
Not only does everyone have an extraordinary time with great wines and good friends, but a portion of the proceeds from every bottle promoted directly benefits families in their community who find themselves on the brink of homelessness for reasons beyond their control. At Wines for Humanity we believe no family in America with children should become homeless through circumstances beyond their control.
Wines for Humanity is also a social enterprise. We not only believe in helping the world around us, we also believe that charity starts at home. I am also happy to DONATE to your live or silent auction an In Home PRIVATE wine tasting for you and your 15 guests.
A portion of the company's profit will go to:
– Our own in-house charity for our Wines for Humanity family
– Profit sharing with our Team Leaders that grow the organization significantly
– Further personal development of the Wine Advisors within Wines for Humanity
A Wine Sampling Event is a great way to gather your friends and family for an educational and unforgettable experience!

Whether you purchase wine, coffee or a gift box, each purchase has a built-in impact. When you decide to host at in-home wine tasting, you may turn your evening into a fundraiser and support a non-profit of your choosing. (some limitations apply).

Vorola Services is a small business staffing firm designed to support small businesses in The Triangle reach their full potential. We provide coaching and discussion around where you are leaving money on the table and where your time could be better used.
We provide administrative, retail and assistant support resources to retail shop owners, makers and entrepreneurs. Our clients range from photographers who need an assistant during a shoot, to makers who use Vorola Services for retail support during markets and events to even service providers who need an extra set of hands to write thank you notes, following up with clients or other administrative tasks.
Our goal is to enable our clients to stop working 'in' their business and instead work 'on' their business with a flexible schedule and a minimal number of hours a month.
If you're like most business owners, you understand the importance of good bookkeeping and the crucial role that it plays in making sure that your business is being run as efficiently as possible, but you probably don't get excited about devoting more than 45 seconds of time and energy to the bookkeeping effort.
We're here to make it easy.
With 16 years of bookkeeping experience, Abbi Tenaglia is prepared to help you as little or as much as you need. If you just need a little bit of guidance and coaching, she can do that. Or if you need someone to completely manage the process for you so that you don't have to think about it at all, she can do that too.
In addition to QuickBooks, she's also well-versed in PayPal, Square, 17 Hats, Amazon seller back office, Stripe, E-giving and LulaRoe back office.
Bookkeeping Services:
– QuickBooks set up, training and ongoing support
– Bank and credit card reconciliation monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly
– Sales tax management & reporting
– Payroll services and tax management
– Nonprofit start-up registration with state and federal entities, tax filings, and donor reporting
– Year-end management and reporting, including 1099 e-filing
– Accounts payable and accounts receivable management, weekly or monthly
– Notary services
CPA Liaison Service:
Bookkeeping hourly rates are typically much less than hourly rates for a CPA. For this reason, clients often find it beneficial to engage Abbi to do most of the legwork for their tax preparation at the end of the year, then hire a CPA for an hour to check over the documents and e-file the tax return. This proves to be much more cost effective for the business owner than paying a CPA for several hours of work, and much more efficient than hiring an employee to manage the books all year. It's a way to cut costs without taking on huge headaches.
Non-Profit Consulting Service:
There are so many needs in our community, and many community members have some fascinating ideas for addressing these needs. But it's important for nonprofits to know the laws and to ensure proper management of the funds entrusted to them by donors. Abbi started and ran her own nonprofit for seven years before eventually merging with a larger organization. She's been hired as a consultant by several nonprofits to share her knowledge in the realm of nonprofit management.

Ever heard of clean-crafted wine? Of course you haven't.
But you're about to.
Have you ever gone wine shopping and wondered how much to spend, what wine pairs with what food, etc? Do you love your favorites, but have to be careful to avoid a morning-after migraine? Most of you know, I adore my wine, but the headaches were becoming a problem (even after just one glass).
Enter Scout & Cellar. The founder started getting headaches while studying to become a sommelier and after a lot of research, she figured out why: there are up to 300 chemicals imbued in almost all mass-produced wine. (Yep: up to 300 chemical additives. Ew.) Scout & Cellar was created to deliver the world's most delicious clean crafted wines, right to your door.
Interested? I'd love to help you:
- Taste yummy, clean-crafted wines
- Choose varieties based on your likes / dislikes
- Host a tasting for your friends (perk: free wine!)
- Give back – ask me about charitable giving and/or event discounts
- Choose unique gifts – Corporate, holiday, or individual
- Stay current on seasonal wine selections
Let's get together and start enjoying cleaner, healthier wines. Start here!

As a freelance website designer and developer, I developed TWTH Consulting with the goal to add a custom touch to each project I work on. I am a hard worker and trustworthy partner for your online presence and bring an edge of creativity & enthusiasm that will set your site apart from your competitors.
I like to first sit down with a company to learn more about their business and how it operates. I find that usually a project may extend beyond the need for just a website but perhaps for tools to also help streamline processes behind the scenes for the business. By taking the time to get to know you and your business better, I am best able to develop a site and tools for you with the thoughts of how the business will grow in the future in mind to make expanding your site easier as the company grows.
I have experience working remotely with clients all over the country and here locally in the Triangle. If you are looking for a website designer, please contact me today. I would love the opportunity to work with you on your project.

Meeting with Cary was literally a God-send for me and for my business. I was truly struggling with the direction in which I would be moving our business for the future. Cary was able to understand those difficulties and ask the right questions to help me recognize the importance of knowing what I was really passionate about and how I could use that passion to grow the business. She took the time to look through my website and social media pages and offered great suggestions on how I could improve the look and feel of each one. I have already implemented many of her ideas and I am looking forward to implementing more on our newly updated website. Having started several businesses and Vend Raleigh, Cary has personal knowledge of how to connect to customers, subscribers and others in a truly relational way. If you are looking for someone to get a "fresh set of eyes" on your business, I would highly recommend Cary. Her perspective and advice have been invaluable to me. I am certain that she will bring that same enthusiasm to all her clients.

The consult was great and outside opinion was nice to hear. The write up of [Cary's reviews were] very helpful in [allowing me to stay present in the consult and not having to take notes, giving me direction after our meeting.]

Many Australians take a rental vehicle well off the beaten track … but are they getting the best rate?
Most Australians have booked car rental at some time, but how many have received the best price per day?
One of Australia's largest motoring-holidays operators, DriveAway, has some good advice for those contemplating self-drive holidays.
The company's marketing manager, Ashleigh Robinson, reckons that experienced travellers always make vehicle bookings well in advance and pay in full before starting their journey to avoid changes on prices, insurances and other aspects of vehicle rental.
She says that the DriveAway customers who get the best deals book between 28 and 45 days in advance, but at least three weeks before collection.
"Best booking times vary somewhat in our east coast cities," she said. "We recommend 47 days ahead in Melbourne, 26 in Sydney, 34 in Brisbane, 48 in Cairns and, for Adelaide, 41 days."

As far as male fertility is concerned, length really is important...except the length in question isn't the one you're thinking about. The crucial distance is actually the length between scrotum and anus. Yes, it's all about the taint.
In what has to go down as one of the most heroic scientific experiments ever, University of Rochester researcher Shanna Swan measured the taint length of 126 men born after 1987. The average anus-to-scrotum distance is two inches, and according to this study, you do not want to be below average.
Swan and her team found that men with below average taints were 7.3 times more likely to have low sperm counts than their above average counterparts, and the sperm they did have was not as well-formed as those belong to men with longer anus-to-scrotum distances. And why is all this happening? Well, we do know that men have taints that are roughly twice as long as those of women, suggesting a longer taint correlates with greater virility and male fertility.
Honestly, all I can really think to do here is to remember this slightly NSFW Mr. Show classic, which I can't help but think has much to teach us about the topic at hand.

Two-Lane Tours - West Coast and East Coast - Americruise Tour 2007
West Coast and East Coast Tour
West Coast Tour: Two-Lane Trippin' to Lincoln
What could be better than a week of cruising America's great two-lane highways in your favorite hot rod for a trip back in time when life was not so hurried and mega-lane highways were not the preferred route of travel? The only thing better would be a great event to attend at the end of that week. For the rodders who participated in the West Coast Americruise Tour and the following weekend in Lincoln, Nebraska, that week had more fun packed into it than they could ever have imagined
The return of the Americruise was welcomed by both veterans of the event as well as new attendants wondering want the buzz was all about. The West Coast leg of the tour, sponsored by the transmission experts at TCI Automotive, began at Westech, and after touring their facility and getting a full dose of California hospitality, the group set off on the journey across America. Along the way, the group, led by Kevin and myself in a '32 Ford roadster graciously loaned to us by Roy Brizio, stuck to two-lane roads as much as possible and all involved enjoyed the slice of Americana not seen from the fast-paced "super highways."
Visits were made at shops and businesses like Streamline Hot Rod Parts and Pinkee's Rod Shop, as well as plenty of local eating establishments, giving a very comfortable and un-corporate feel to the tour.
Plans are already being made to make next year's event bigger and better, so make your own plans to be a part of it all because you wouldn't want to be left out, would you?
East Coast Tour: Following the Sun on America's Back Roads
I decided to indulge my Eastern roots by cruising with the East Coast Tour, led and sponsored by Air Ride Technologies (thanks, Peggy!). Brent Van Dervort at Fatman Fabrications filled us with barbecue on the night before our departure. In the five days that followed, we covered more than 1,300 miles through eight states, with approximately 30 high-mileage, hard-driven hot rods and customs.
We avoided the interstate highways as much as possible. By keeping to the ambling, two-lane state routes, we managed to enjoy the ride-and see a lot more America-along the way.
We took our time, stopping at Air Ride Technologies in Jasper, Indiana; Jerry Bickel Race Cars in Moscow Mills, Missouri; Linville Caverns in Marion, North Carolina; the Pony Express Museum in St. Joseph, Missouri; and at rural gas stations, small-town restaurants, cruising spots, and (a few times) auto parts stores all across the Eastern half of the United States. We made friends with people we'd never met before, traveled to places we'd never been, and saw things we'd never seen. And you know what it felt like? Being home.
We're doing it again next year. Keep checking the magazine and the Web site for info on Americruise 2007-and sign up to be part of the fun.

Creative Halloween Costume Ideas
Each year you are given the opening to show your creativity with your Halloween costume ideas. The possibilities are nearly limitless once your creative juices start to flow. Creative Halloween costume ideas can be grouped into any sub categories. This description includes a few suggestions to help you get your creative juices flowing.
Halloween Costumes
Halloween Costume Ideas On a Budget
When you are decorating yourself or your kids for the holiday and you don't want to break the bank, start with what you have in the house. A Gypsy costume can be made simply by layering all of the necklaces you own and layering any skirts or putting scarves on as skirts as well as putting on a bit of make-up. Ghosts can be made of a sheet or pillowcase and a pair of scissors. Clown costumes are legitimately made of a sweat outfit and make-up. A multi-colored wig is fairly inexpensive. Dressing up like a bum is all the time fun too. Jeans, old T-shirt, torn jacket or flannel shirt, and a handkerchief tied to a stick (carrying your candy stash of course) all help you pull off this look. A bit of grime or stubble can be painted onto the face and this costume is complete.
Unique Halloween Costume Ideas
There are so many different ways to dress up for Halloween. If you put your mind to it there are many things you have colse to the house that can make up a unique costume. You can dress up as a head on a platter by putting a table cloth on card board and gluing paper picnic settings to it then put it on so that it goes colse to your neck and you can only see your head sticking out of the center. This takes very puny work but the reactions you get will be amazing.
There are many other ideas but the most unique often happen when you legitimately put your mind to work seeking the rare.
Sexy Halloween Costume Ideas
Dressing up like a French maid or a playboy bunny is all the time fun. Some of the best sexy Halloween costume ideas start with a popular movie star. If you can think of someone you like to watch on the big screen you can dress like a character they play in your popular movie. Dressing up like Marilyn Monroe, Angelina Jolie or George Clooney can be fun and make you feel sexy and possibly even a bit playful at your Halloween party.
Couples Costume ideas
When you and a friend or your necessary other go to a party as a merge it can be fun to dress up like your popular duo. These can be male/female couples or others like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid can be fun. An angel and the Devil together is all the time a way to make a statement. Newly weds going as a bride and groom don't all the time go over as well as you would think. Stick with Peter Pan and Tinker Bell or other characters who are commonly together.
Group costume ideas
Groups of friends dressing up as the Three (or more) Musketeers, Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends, groups of Zombies, and your popular rock band lets others at the party know you are together. Groups of witches and wizards from definite houses at Hogwarts are fun too, especially if you can get cousins together and each house dress up in costumes from a different house. Group costumes can be fun to think up and build together.
Whatever costumes you pick have fun arrival up with your Halloween costume ideas. Let your hair down and see how creative you can be. If you already have your costume ideas for this year it isn't too late to start reasoning up ways to win the costume contest next year.Creative, Quick And Easy Adult Halloween Costume Ideas

At first glance — best shielded, given the sun's fierce glare reflected from all the chrome — the 7,500-pound, 29-feet-long "Finnjet" suggests transport for intergalactic travelers with a pronounced sense of humor.
More than 80 lights and three dozen mirrors adorn the surface of this vehicle, not to mention a large model of the Space Shuttle on the roof, metal sculptures of stingrays, and a Barbie doll encased in a silver high-heeled shoe, stuck onto the lower edge of the driver's door.
"Finnjet," created by Finnish-born, Florida-based Antti Rahko, is just one of the eye-catching vehicles on display this weekend at the Art Car Show, a perennially popular feature of Artscape, the sprawling Baltimore venture billed as the largest free arts festival in the country.
This 32nd annual Artscape is expected to attract more than 300,000 people before wrapping up Sunday night. A good many of them are likely to wend their way to the Art Car Show, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary at the festival.
"When we surveyed volunteers at Artscape to find out what the 10 most-asked questions were, 'Where are the art cars?' was always in the top 10," said Gary Kachadourian, the former coordinator of Artscape who helped organized the first Art Car Show.
Over the years, attendees have seen such unexpected sights as a car crawling with plastic lobsters that jumped up and "sang" the "Hallelujah Chorus," and the quintessential Baltimore auto — encased in Formstone, of course.
Entries in the 2013 lineup include a truck adorned with bottle caps, a hearse that promises a "swan song" experience, and a Chevy Camaro painted with vivid scenes of superheroes.
Those examples seem rather tame next to "Finnjet," which Rahko crafted from two Mercedes diesel station wagons, fused together to provide the foundation for this wild version of a stretch limo.
"It's my hobby," said Rahko, 74. "I started it 10 years ago. There are 50 different auto parts on it," he added, pointing out grafted bits of a 1955 Cadillac and 1958 Buick.
It took three days to drive the "Finnjet" to Baltimore from the artist's home in Palm Beach. "We went 55 miles per hour," he said.
On the rear portion of the roof is a sign that reads: "Thank you Lord for humor." It's the kind of message you might expect on an art car.
"We're not doing very fine, museum art," said Bob Hieronimus, 69, a native Baltimorean who has participated in the Artscape show since 2005. "Art cars are fun to be with, and they can be just funny."
Serious, too. Painted on nearly every square inch of his Mercedes are scenes that add up to what Hieronimus calls "We the People."
There are references to the Native American influences on early American history; portraits of Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Banneker; assorted symbols; and, for good measure, tributes to the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix.
"You used to see more art cars making an important statement or telling stories," Hieronimus said. "Some artists are now more interested in forms, shapes and colors that elicit a 'Wow, look at that.' They're less intellectual, maybe, but they're getting more beautiful. And they're funny."
Achieving that beauty or that wit doesn't come cheap. Hieronimus spent more than $30,000 on his art car.
Clarke Bedford, 66, a former Baltimore resident who now lives in Hyattsville, figures he has about $5,000 worth of material attached to "Vanadu," his transformation of a 1988 Ford Econoline van.
Inspired by the Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem ("In Xanadu did Kubla Khan / A stately pleasure-dome decree …"), and by the never-finished mansion called "Xanadu" in the classic film "Citizen Kane," "Vanadu" is a fantasy in found objects. It looks as if the original vehicle, interior and exterior alike, had been covered in glue or magnets and dipped into an antique shop.
A statue of 17th-century English poet John Milton serves as a hood ornament. A couple of art nouveau windows can be spotted on one side amid innumerable, vibrant items that appear to be randomly attached, yet somehow form a cohesive whole.
Not that this is necessarily the artist's final word. Like Citizen Kane's Xanadu, Bedford's project may remain a work-in-progress. "Every year it seems to grow a little more," he said.
"Vanadu," "Finnjet" and the others in this year's show reflect the diversity of the art car genre, which has its roots in customized hot rods in the 1950s and brightly painted vans driven by hippies in the '60s.
The concept got wider attention after the launch of the Houston Art Car Parade in 1986 — it remains a big event, with 270 entries at the 2013 parade in May — and the Art Car Museum, also in Houston.
"It's a sub-genre of art that has the ability to be more and, occasionally, is more," Kachadourian said. "There are artists with no training, who just want to make a personal statement when they go down the road, and academy- or museum-oriented artists who use the cars to address cultural issues."
Whatever the inspiration or message, art cars have clearly found a niche at Artscape.
"Art cars are friendly," Kachadourian said. "People think, 'I could do that. I wouldn't, but I could.' They can envision how their boring car could be radicalized."
Not everyone sees the beauty in art cars.
"I do get lectured by blue-haired ladies from time to time, who tell me, 'You have ruined this Mercedes,' " Hieronimus said.
Mostly, though, a smile is the reaction from Artscape visitors.
"I think the crowds really relate to such a common object, the household car, being transformed in surprising ways," said Rebecca Hoffberger, founder and director of the American Visionary Art Museum, where the art cars will gather Saturday morning for a parade across town to the Art Car Show site.
"I think that the success of the art cars at Artscape is because everybody has a vehicle. And if you have an old clunker, through the miracle of Bondo and paint and imagination, you can make it the car of your dreams. I think that's why they have such enduring popularity."
If you go
Artscape runs 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday in and around Mount Vernon and Station North. Most of the local art is showcased on Charles Street between Mount Royal and North Avenue. The Wells Fargo Main Stage is at 1400 Cathedral St. The Art Car Parade is scheduled to move through Artscape about 11 a.m. Saturday and proceed to the Art Car Show location at 1700 N. Charles St.

This is Petty good! Looks clean and organized!
But a little short than what I expected! If little bit higher. And top part also pan little bit taller,I think when I'm turning around won't fall down something! It you are the person who have lot of stuff at bathroom counter. You should be organized will... easy to ex
Maybe because I have too much large bottles!
However definitely will be Recommend you guys!
Friends love share with out share love
I love this organizer. I wish I hadn't waited so long to put it together. It gave me my bathroom counter top back! It is so easy to adjust the shelves. It spins smoothly and looks great. It is everything I hoped for!
For the price, this is terrific. It creates so much space under my bathroom sink it's crazy. However, a few things to note:
I could not make my makeup brushes look like in the photo no matter how hard I tried
The little shelves are adjustable so you can make them suit your stuff-BUT they have to be staggered to fit in the slots because they share a divider.
It's stable and rotates well enough
I'm challenged on projects and I fit this together in 5 minutes. The hardest part are the tiny rubberbands that secure the shelves.
After writing this review I realize I should probably get another one..
I've read the low-rated reviews and most of them mentioned that it is hard to put together. It only took me a few minutes to assemble mine. You can find a guide at the back of the box, no tools or glue needed, everything you need came with the package. I got the square with petal in white. I love the design and structure. The finish is between glossy and matte, which makes it easy to clean.
I own one in acrylic and I can say that I love this better! It is much sturdier and the height is perfect for small spaces. The dividers are adjustable and you can position it in whichever way you want. The top part is mostly for brushes and lipsticks. I am using mine mostly for my makeup and it's holding up pretty well. You should get one if you want a clutter-free vanity table or counter! I am thinking of getting one and use it as a spice rack. I think it would work great in the kitchen as well since the height is perfect for my cabinet size!
Also, it is very easy to disassemble when you have to store it. I kept the original box, it is small and it doesn't take a lot of space.
5 stars! I ordered multiple things so it came in a bigger amazon box. When I took it out, I thought it looked open but from what I see, all the parts are there and everything is clean so I have no complaint. I didn't put it together with the rubber holders. I just put some pieces together to see how big it is. It's a pretty decent size, I was scared it'd be too big. The box shows black and I was concerned because I wanted white. Have no fear, the actual organizer is white. Helps that the instructions are right on the box too.
This product is just as described. I ordered the circle shape in black and am happy with my purchase. I can fit a ton of items on it, and I love that the shelves can be placed and adjusted as you choose. I love that there is a place for everything, and it is great for small spaces/surfaces while still being able to access everything. I'm no big makeup connoisseur, but it fits all of my lip products, concealers, highlighters, mascaras, eyeliner, beauty tools and brushes, sprays, makeup removers, eyeshadows, powders, and brow products with room left for a few lotions, hair products and other items.
Love love love this makeup organizer!! I lost so much space on my vanity because of the previous makeup organizer I had and this one is perfect. Keeps everything tucked away and neat looking. I love that you can adjust the shelves to whatever height you want making it easier to fit just about anything on here. Great product and super easy to put together too.
Really love this for my bathroom, what a difference it makes. It holds all my hairspray and brushes/combs, my makeup, toothpaste and floss, various moisturizers, eye drops and other medications, and I keep finding that it holds more than I realize. Truly easy to assemble, rotates smoothly, looks good. I'd really recommend this if you need to organize and save space in your bathroom. Great product.
This is a perfect beauty organizer with a lot of space and room. Most of my daily products are on here and there's still room left! Set up was not too bad and I'm impressed with how easily it spins around and the stability. I love the black color design! A+++
I purchased this for my daughter's vanity. It definitely is adorable and holds a lot of products. I got the square white one. It was super easy to put together and each shelf is fully adjustable. It sits on a little turntable, so you can easily access any item at a flick of your wrist. She absolutely loves it and it easily matches any decor. It seems fairly sturdy and each shelf has a small lip at the bottom so that items don't fall off. All in all, very pleased with purchase.
