I know you're curious -- does this really work?
I have spent many years working, researching, and creating a one-on-one program that would get you from your zero luck to multiple connections that mean something to you. I wanted a program that would help you overcome your mindset barriers, fears, build confidence, and attract the girl of your dreams.
I could go on and on about how my strategies, years of experience, and coaching style would get you the progress you've been looking for.
But I'm sure you don't want to hear it from me.
Let's let my past clients tell you themselves!
They are like you, with the same fears and struggles, and big heart. Except, they took a leap many are too afraid to do, and look where it landed them.
A deeper look into their experiences and results after working with yours truly
William Hung: From 2 divorces, uncertain of his worth, no idea how to date successfully, to getting a quality girlfriend right on time to celebrate his birthday
" I finally have another aspect of my life that I'm excited about every single day. We text each other, surprise call after work. I know we have something great, we're grounded in the way we see life, we're positive, and we compromise. We are both open to trying new things in each other's Worlds
Meet William Hung, 37 years old - name sound familiar? Yes, he's from American Idol. He became a household name at the age of 20 and if you think fame makes dating easier, that is not the case. With 2 divorces, uncertain of his value & worth, fearing dishonest women, he was about to give up dating all together. Then, he decided to go full-force at finding true love again. Now, he's happily in a relationship with someone who does know him for his name, but for his authentic self.

Watch and listen to his story below. "I don't want to keep guessing in terms of how to find the right person. I read many articles, but I'm at a point in my life where I want to spend less time guessing"
Scott: from constant rejection with the few dates he received, to 3 dates in one weekend, and now dating one quality woman
Watch & listen to his story below. "I was serious about finding someone, but I wasn't seeing results. I asked friends, family, and read the internet. I was going in circles. So, I decided to do something different. In the end, it paid off."
""It feels really good, we go on dates, we text each other day, we have common interests, having someone that cares about me. Hopefully it works out but it feels good right now"
Meet Scott, with having only one relationship at 29 years old in combination with his shy and reserved personality, he dreaded dating due to the confusion. What to say, what to do on dates, where to look -- online dating was a nightmare when he tried by himself. And if he got dates, it all lead to "I just don't feel the connection" -- then, he became overwhelmed with dates, positive responses from women. It all lead to him happily dating one woman now!

Meet Seth, a 41 year old music teacher living in Los Angeles. He has many one-off dates, unable to find a woman he wants and sticks.

Meet Dennis, a 3-time divorced father who continuously got stuck in toxic relationships and married the wrong kind of women. After his divorce, with 5 kids to take care of, he had no idea how to dive back in. On top of that, clueless on finding a woman who is right for him.

Kevin: from no dates, no interest to getting his first girlfriend and happily in his FIRST committed relationship
"I do have a girlfriend, we see eye to eye, saw my strengths....she saw that and some of the things I"m worried about like not being tall enough, being an Asian guy, I thought women weren't liking me for these reasons...but she likes me for all those reasons, for who truly I am"
Meet Kevin, 32 years old, engineer living in San Diego, CA. He didn't have much of a dating experience, and if he did -- it was only first dates. He was always getting seen as the "nice guy" and getting friend-zoned. He had all these questions like "How can I avoid this zone? How can I be confident? How can I meet women?" -- listen to more of his journey to learn how he came from that to being in a committed relationship. And trust us, it wasn't easy -- but it was all worth it.

Meet Konrad, 29 years old, an IT specialist, in Columbia, MO, with very little experience in relationships, met only through friends, and tried online dating previously but it never worked. It was through that (online) method that he met his girlfriend. He hoped he'd meet his girlfriend through a more "organic" way, but realized that having an "organic" connection is better than meeting in an "organic" way.
Watch & listen to his story below. He has a message for you.- "It's never going to hurt you to try something new"
Want the same results?
Max: from exhaustion, going on dates with women not of his caliber to, going on dates with quality ladies (dating is exciting now!)
Watch & listen to his story below. He has a message for you.
"I'd ask yourself the question...are you currently confident in the decisions you're making in your dating life? Are you confident in getting the results yourself? If not, I suggest to get support"
"'ve attracted people that have very similar values to me. I'm actually seeing someone right now and it's been a really cool and great experience. It's great to feel these feelings"
Max is one that let work consume most of his life. He, also, moved away from his social circle so it limited his opportunity to meet people in general. He'd date ladies, but none that were the quality he's looking for. With his time and energy already limited, he didn't know what to do. Dating became exhausting, his mindset got in the way (thinking nothing will work and he can't find his quality), but he knew he wanted change. He's now enjoying dating and his spare time is going to quality dates.
Want the same results?
Jessie: from zero dates, ever, to multiple interests and dates
"I have a date for this Thursday, talking to two others. Is it weird to be talking to multiple women at once?...."
Meet Jessie, 34 years old, who describes himself as incredibly awkward and shy - rarely ever being able to strike up a conversation. He was reluctant to go back and try online dating after getting zero matches and zero responses for 2 years. Shortly after working with me, he gets multiple interest in a day, having conversations with a handful, had a lady give her number instead of him needing to ask, and went out on multiple dates.

By David Nordella
It is no secret that the financial industry has been subjected to dramatic, and sometimes disastrous, changes over the past couple of years. Major money center banks and brokers have disappeared or been forced into disadvantageous mergers, while others are being resuscitated by large infusions of government money. The survivors are somewhat shell-shocked and understandably less inclined to lend, especially to new and growing companies.
Ironically, these are the companies that are busy right now planting the seeds of our economic future. They are the pioneers who are creating the products of the future that will ensure our prosperity. Most new jobs come from these innovative companies, so it's in everyone's best interest that they survive and thrive.
But where are they going to find reliable sources of capital? One potential source is a financing technique that has been practiced for thousands of years: factoring services. The process of selling accounts receivable at a discount in order to accelerate cash flow has been used since the days of the Roman Empire. When Roman merchants extended credit to their customers, factors would advance funds to them against the future payments that were to be received. The same method was used finance trade flows between England and its colonies in North America, which would become the United States of America and Canada.
Sources of Financing
There are three ways to finance a business:
- Acquisition of debt
- Sale of equity/venture capital
- Do-it-yourself
The use of debt is still available to some companies. However, future business loan covenant restrictions can be expected to be tightened as banks continue to harvest losses from years of inadequate requirements reinforced by a secular bull market that was in force for decades. Banks are going to require more capital and less leverage on balance sheets in the future to offset the risk of business loans as their own capital has become more difficult to retain.
Venture capital is also still available to some companies, although VC firms are becoming much more particular about the businesses they invest in. One of the biggest drawbacks to selling equity, however, is the dilution of ownership, a percentage of which is transferred to the investor in exchange for capital.
Factoring, meanwhile, is a form of do-it-yourself financing. Proponents of venture capital, in particular, will find factoring rates competitive. More importantly, factoring leaves ownership shares and control of the company in the hands of the original owners. Future profits will flow to the innovators who produced them, since their shareholdings have not been diluted by the premature sale of stock in exchange for cash.
Factoring services tend to work best for companies that are able to generate consistent sales of products or services at the level of quality expected by a viable commercial customer. These sales should be completed and reasonably expected to be paid according to the terms of sale. The cash advanced by a factoring service can then be used to pay current obligations that support the company's growth, like payroll, vendors and other kinds of debt serviced by working capital.
While the costs of factoring services are higher than traditional small business bank loans, they are mitigated by the additional services factors provide in their normal course of business. A factor performs all the services of a full-fledged A/R and credit department, including such tasks as backing up documents for accuracy and scanning, as well as folding, stuffing, mailing and documenting invoices and payments in a ledgering system.
Vendor Trade Support
Little consideration has been given lately to the importance of vendor trade support, but the credit given by vendors is of paramount importance to any successful entrepreneur. Isaac Newton noted that his incredible intellectual achievements were only possible because he "stood on the shoulders of giants." Likewise, entrepreneurial success is often built on the support of those that sell to entrepreneurs and offer them trade credit.
Trade credit comes without interest, can expand rapidly and provides an owner another way to leverage financing if treated appropriately. The liquidity provided by factoring accounts receivable enables an owner to create vendor loyalty that is repaid in kind by increased trade credit lines. Often, by negotiating prompt or early payments, discounts can be realized that can improve profitability and help offset the costs of factoring services.
Wise business owners will retain and reinvest the profits from their increased sales. Establishing positive trends with respect to vendor relationships, improved liquidity and growing sales will increase the likelihood that an owner will be able to attain the next level of financing on more attractive terms.In today's difficult and uncertain credit environment, factoring services remain an effective way for companies to leverage their current sales and accelerate cash flow. Newly established and fast-growing companies especially should think of factoring as a potential first resource to meet their financing needs.
David Nordella is a vice president and Business Development Officer with Commercial Finance Group (CFG,) which has offices throughout the U.S. Since 1974, CFG has provided creative financial solutions to small and medium sized businesses that may not qualify for traditional financing.

You walk in the room
The folks are all there
With glasses in hand
But you can't take the band
So you head for the bar
The barman's well stocked
He knows where you're at
He offers a drink
But you can't take none of that
(No you can't take none of that)
Everybody's having fun
So why be the one
Who's out in the cold
It's not good enough
You made a deal with yourself
You said you'd never take another drop
Your craving's big, your livers shot
You'd give a million for a solitary drop
You take your first belt
It tastes like pure hell
The second one drops
Intentions are shot
Well you think you might as well
You take another sip
You get to likin' it
The music sounds hip
So you head for the floor
(So you head for the floor)
Yea yea yea yea yea
Well you step out on the dance floor
And you grab at your boss's wife
You've been longing to hold her close
For the whole of your working life
And the band played on
Move your ass
Well your hostess is lookin' mad
As your hands start to wander
And your boss is gonna get you now
He's gonna put you six feet under
You get walked out the door
And your feet don't touch the floor
You're never gonna see 'em no more
The dawn starts to break
Your heads a big ache
You're lyin' in bed
You're back from the dead
And your mouth feels like old leather
(Old leather)
Never do it again
(You'll never do it again)
Everyone was havin' fun
But you were the one
Kicked out in the cold
You slept in your clothes
You let 'em down
Down at the club
You know your confidence got to take the rub
Your boss is sore
You've had your chance
He says he never wants to see you again
Don't wanna see you again
(Don't wanna see you again)
You've got to dry out
The boys have found out
It's the end of the line
But it's martini time
So you head for the bar.r... r.r.r.r

As the Oosterschelde is among the cleanest waters in the world, and we grow both diploid and triploid oysters, these oysters are available in top quality and with their unique taste all year round. We are proud that many top chefs have chosen this unique, special oyster and we can't wait for you to taste them!
These beautiful, full specials are grown on the west coast of Ireland near Cromane: an area known worldwide for its high-quality, lovely full creamy oysters. The Oisri oyster has stunningly colourful striped shells with a pearly white interior and an impressively deep cup and uniform shape due to the regular hands-on approach by the local Irish fishermen. The taste can be described as green apple and cucumber with a hint of salted hazelnuts. Sweet as well as salty.

Organic SEO and website design are typically the majority of conversation between most practices and their online marketing agency. What probably isn't being discussed are key changes in consumer search patterns and channel usage (apps), that can change how you think about your SEO campaign and the channels and platforms you use to target and reach your audience.
Here are some important search engine facts and Google Trends that should change how you market your practice online.
New online trends worth knowing in 2016
- More people are online now in 2016 than ever before in our history. That said, computer, smart phone and tablet users aren't spending their time online the same way we have grown accustomed to, especially when it comes to how they are using search engines, like Google, now. Smartphone users only spend about 12% of their time in Google-related apps. Take a look at recent statistics showing the amount of time people spend on Google compared apps owned by other major companies.
- When looking at professional service provider industries like legal services, surgeon practices, dental offices, etc., we noticed that the actual search volume trend for popular keyword phrases, even in major metropolitan markets like Los Angeles, show a declining volume over the last several years on Google.
- Does that mean consumers are not using search engines to research your services or providers? Of course not. They have modified how they search and the information they are wanting. Trends for terms like "attorney reviews," "surgeon reviews," "dentist near me," and others have remained stable or even increased. Not surprising, Google Trends also shows the volume of review-related searches validate the importance of marketing positive reviews and ratings.
- Your competitors are not only starting to notice the importance of new online marketing services and tactics, they are implementing strategies that can effectively boost their results by cutting the water with different online marketing services that are less cluttered and penetrated. Google Trends show consistent growth in research for a number of different Internet marketing services, including inbound marketing, social media marketing, YouTube advertising (pre-roll video ads), retargeting, marketing automation and others. All of these marketing tactics show a steady rise over the last several years.
What you need to know!
When you create Internet marketing campaigns and strategies today, you really can't solely rely on organic SEO to do all the heavy lifting and keep your phone ringing with new leads. Although organic SEO is still very important, other marketing strategies that utilize diverse online channels are now necessary to target and proactively drive quality traffic to your website.
One of the most important aspects about some of the newer marketing channels and platforms available is the ability to more accurately target your ideal prospect demographics that fall within specific geographic locations to your practice and at the right time.
Unlike any time in the past, we can now target people through targeted contextual and behavioral searches. For example, we can display compelling messages, including videos, to prospective clients while they are in the midst of reading relevant content on other websites.
In many cases, even when search volume is down for our traditional "go-to" keyword phrases, we are still able to increase traffic and leads to the website at a low cost per lead.
Marketing Services You May Not Be Utilizing, But Should
Here are just a few marketing services that you may have heard about or have been thinking of implementing. More than ever, it will pay to diversify and take a more active role in driving online traffic and business to your practice:
- Remarketing/Retargeting
- Online Display and YouTube Pre Roll Video Advertising
- Reviews and Ratings Management
- Paid Social Media (Facebook) Advertising – (CASE STUDY)
- Social Media Marketing
- Intake Training and Coaching
- Localization Management and Directory Listings
- Inbound Marketing Automation – (CASE STUDY)
- Custom Video Blogging
- Dynamic Content and Super Pages
- Mobile Responsive Custom Website Design and Live Chat Feature
Whether we like it or not, the internet is ever-changing and always evolving. How we access your market and effectively market your practice website has changed too. Being proactive and understanding online trends has allowed Page 1 Solutions to stay in front of changes while informing our clients of these important trends as they are happening.
My name is Brent Critchfield and I am an Internet Sales Consultant for Page 1 Solutions. Over the last 5 years, I have noticed a lot of changes in online marketing trends and strategies, from how people search for what they are looking for online to how and where specifically they are spending their time online.

Thursday, October 3rd, 2013
In a blog post two weeks ago I wrote about our customers best reasons for backing up SaaS data. I mentioned the business risk calculated as Risk = Probability x Consequence
To break it down and create a reasonable amount of scenarios, the matrix below is pretty useful for SaaS application usage:
If we are (un)lucky, we have metrics for the probability and consequence, such as e.g.
– A single email is lost in the service we are using, which if not restored will take 2 hours to reproduce or work around. This happens on average once per day.
– A user deletes a large number of emails or files in a SaaS application, which if not restored will take on average 2 business days to reproduce or work around. This happens on average once every month.
The further to the left of the matrix we get, the harder it usually is to have perfect metrics, which is where we turn to estimates instead.
– Shared information related to a particular project is lost because of a user mistake or a disgruntled employee, and can not be reproduced in time, so a sales opportunity worth $X is lost. Depending on how the company works and close calls in the past, we may need to consider the average probability once per year.
– A massive amount of information is lost through system related issues, eventually forcing the company out of business. This may not have happened to any company using the particular SaaS service, so it may be very unlikely and hard to gauge in our matrix.
But, when we think about risk, we instinctively understand that "very unlikely" is not exactly zero, and that an event with a very high impact, even if very unlikely, is still a factor we may want to consider.
If we didn't, there would be very few lotteries or fire insurance policies around.
Off topic: If you are reading this and don't have fire insurance, you may be interested to know that there is a structure fire reported every 65 seconds in the US alone. For thousands of people every year, the difference in risk between zero and "very unlikely", literally means life or death.
At the other end of the spectrum, we know that "very likely" isn't exactly the same as always.
If it was, the crumpled paper would always hit the paper bin. I know for a fact mine don't.
So, one approach to making business decisions about protective efforts such as SaaS data backup, could be the risk matrix above, either with real metrics or estimates. If nothing else, I find it a great tool for structuring the thought process.
Seacrest Out.Please email me at email@example.com if you want to discuss your business risk with or without SaaS backup.

Melita's Story of Transformation
Last year, Melita was working two jobs. She wasn't wealthy, but she got by — providing well enough for her three daughters. But when her hours at one job were unexpectedly cut, she struggled to cover her car payments. And eventually, the vehicle was repossessed. Then she could no longer get to her second job.
"Everything spiraled out of control," Melita says. "I couldn't afford my bills. I lost the car. I lost my jobs. Then we got evicted. We were homeless."
With nowhere else to go, Melita and her kids came to Atlanta Mission. They were placed in My Sister's House — our shelter for women and children. (The name helps protect the children from the stigma of homelessness, in case anyone asks them where they live.)
"If not for Atlanta Mission, we would have been on the streets," Melita recalls. "I was so stressed out. We needed a miracle. This place was an answer to our prayers."
Rebuilding Step by Step
Atlanta Mission provided Melita's family with everything they needed for their healing journey, including food and shelter, daycare for the youngest daughter and guidance for the eldest. Melita was especially grateful on behalf of her middle daughter, who was just entering 6th grade. "They gave her new clothes, papers, pencils, notebooks, and everything she needed to start the school year off right."
With her daughters safely cared for, Melita was able to concentrate on getting her family back on their feet. Over the past year, she attended classes, got counseling, and worked closely with a caseworker to rebuild her life. She gained the knowledge and resources to regain full-time employment — and she just started her new job at the airport this Spring!
"Thanks to Atlanta Mission and everyone who supports this place, my daughters are thriving. I hope that by next year we'll have our own place and a car," Melita says. "My Sister's House really inspired me and made me believe in myself again. Someday, I hope I can come back and inspire another mother like me, and let them know they can make it just like I did."
Ways to Give
Stay Informed
We'd be honored to have you share in the joys, struggles and transformations of Atlanta's most vulnerable souls.

"Media Rescue" means Secure Tape Erasure
It is now possible to erase servo-banded tape media such as LTO (1 to 7), 3592, 9840 and 9940 cartridges quickly, securely and at modest cost. In the past, privacy needs compelled many high-volume users of tapes of that sort to either:
(a) Destroy old
cartridges (not good for the environment) or
(b) Go through agonizingly slow and expensive (and not always effective) multi-pass full-tape overwriting.
To get a good feel for the new world of Media Rescue, click here to see our LTO Erasure and Recycling document.
As mentioned on the Services Overview page, onsite operations are often the best answer for larger projects. MMC can bring in the equipment, software and staff to get your project done with maximum efficiency and minimum distraction to your operations. In other cases, we can train your staff and provide software and hardware support. After a modest initial setup charge, your staff can perform the work at even lower per-tape prices.
Of course, if you'd care to send a cartridge or two for an initial test, we'd be happy to do that at no cost, except for a modest shipping and handling fee.
We'll soon have much more detail here about a wide variety of tape erasure and quality assurance products and services.
Please call 516-833-3067 for information.

Stars: 5 out of 5
Pros: Beautiful detail from all the Hallmark artists
Cons: Slight tip back, but it's a minor issues
The Bottom Line:
Peak behind the door
Enjoy art inside and out
Artistic delight
Loving Work of Art from the Keepsake Artists
2010 was the year I started collecting Hallmark ornaments seriously. It was also a year they had artist signings around the country. I couldn't make one, so I wasn't going to collect the special piece they created just for that signing - Santa's Armoire. However, after attending an event of my own and starting to collect the unofficial series of Santa and Mrs. Claus's furniture, I broke down and back collected it. I'm so glad I did.
Like the other big event pieces, this piece was a collaborative effort from all the Hallmark ornament sculptors. A few worked on the overall design while many of them worked on little pieces and details. The result is fantastic, and I treasure this work of art.
The 2010 event piece is painted brown and looks like it is made from wood. It is several inches high, which makes it a bit big for an ornament but it allows you to see all the details. There are decorative designs on the top and bottom. The shelves on the sides hold toys from drums to penguins to teddy dears and dolls. But the detail I love the most on the outside is the painting on the door. Actually, painting isn't the right word since it has texture to it. More like a relief picture if you will. Anyway, it's of Santa and his reindeer flying over a pretty, snowy landscape.
And yes, the door opens. Inside, you'll find a mirror on the door, Santa's boots, coat, and hat, a cute cat curled up, and a couple more toys.
I really could look at this ornament for hours. Every time I do, I notice a new detail in the design work or one of the toys that makes me smile. While it is bigger than your average ornament, it's still under six inches tall, which means that how they worked all those details into this ornament still surprises me.
The armoire is resting on four feet. They are perfectly level, so it is no surprise that the ornament can be put out in a display anywhere without fear of falling over. With all the detail on it (especially if you leave the door open), I'd want it on something that won't get bumped often, but that would be my only concern.
I have hung mine on my tree the last couple of years. You'll find the hook behind the arch at the top of the armoire. The ornament actually tips back a little when hung, but by the time you get it in the branches of a tree, you'd never notice. And while you are up there, take a look at the friend hiding up at the top.
This ornament proved to be so popular that in 2011, a white repaint was released to members of the Keepsake Ornament Club. Personally, I liked the original wood color better, so I waited until I could find a reasonably priced copy of the original.
And I'm glad I did. The 2010 Santa's Armoire is a beautiful piece of artwork I am proud to hang on my tree.
Original Price: $34.95

At home in Mullica Hill, Doreen Taylor writes and sings the songs she hopes will help make her a star - and help charities that are close to her heart.
"I say that I'm a singer-songwriter, even though the stereotype is a girl in a flowery dress with a guitar, singing folk-type music," she says.
"I'm definitely not folk-y."
I must agree, having heard Taylor do a live-in-the-studio take of an uplifting ballad titled, appropriately, "Unstoppable," just minutes before.
"Again?" she asks producer David Pedemonti.
"Yes," he answers. "From the beginning."
I'm listening to Taylor sing at Philadelphia's MilkBoy, where she's recording her as-yet-untitled debut album as an adult contemporary artist.
She recently performed at the annual "Be Great Extravaganza" for the Boys & Girls Club of Camden County. And she's preparing to sing at the June 10 gala of the Eastern Pennsylvania Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
"I honestly believe in paying it forward, and I kind of made a pact with myself to do that with my music," Taylor tells me. "I identify with causes on behalf of people who can't speak for themselves, and children's causes. Doing good makes me happy."
An opera student who became an Atlantic City casino entertainer and, later, a country singer, Taylor says adult contemporary offers a comfortable, commodious, and commercial niche for her lustrous voice.
"I've been all over the map, and this is where I fit - making music I want to hear," Taylor says, taking a break at MilkBoy.
"I want to make my music my way, and have the masses hear it. I don't want to make a CD that lands on a shelf and is only heard by the people who made it."
As online music and social-media platforms proliferate, reaching audiences can be easier.
But it's harder to get heard amid the cacophony of voices competing for attention - particularly because most artists, like Taylor (doreentaylormusic.com), are independent and without a record label.
"I've become very good at wearing many hats," she says. "I create the music, I sing, I market myself. You have to be a businesswoman, almost more than the creative part."
Artists "have to find people who connect with what they're doing," notes Steve Tirpak, an arranger and producer of Taylor's new record.
"Doreen is taking full advantage of social media," adds the West Philadelphia resident.
"She's passionate, she's talented, and she has a lot of drive."
I'll say. Taylor's enthusiasm, personality, and musicality are engaging. And her work ethic is impressive. "This is how I operate best," she says.
On Monday, "Doreen cut a lead-vocal track and did six tracks of backup vocals," says Pedemonti, a music-industry veteran from Bristol, Bucks County.
Growing up in Alden, N.Y., about 30 minutes east of Buffalo, Taylor became aware of her abilities after her third-grade music teacher "identified my voice as something special," she recalls.
She studied the violin, took voice lessons, learned to read and write music, and by the time she was a teenager - and a target of bullying - she was writing her own material.
"I would go into my closet with my mini-keyboard, and it was my own little world. I was like a superhero [with] secret power. It didn't matter if kids were picking on me."
Taylor went on to study opera as an undergraduate at the University of Hartford's Hartt School of Music. She also earned a master's degree from Temple University's Boyer College of Music and Dance.
But she ended up gravitating to popular music "because I wanted to sing in English, and I didn't want to be put in a box," says Taylor.
Her classical training will help "give me a career of longevity," she says, adding that many (if not most) young pop vocalists lack technique and are punishing their voices.
Taylor, who hopes to release the album this summer, says she loves to put her chops to work to benefit organizations such as a "Bullies Keep Out" campaign in Burlington County and the Boys & Girls Club of Camden County.
A video for "My Christmas Wish," a song she wrote to benefit the club, got more than 16,000 hits on YouTube.
"You can see the joy she had, being surrounded by the kids," says Bernadette Shanahan, the club's executive director.
"It means a lot that someone with a talent like hers is interested in helping a small club in Camden. Doreen is a sweetheart."
Because the father of a childhood friend - "they were like a second family," says Taylor - succumbed to lymphoma, she's also pleased to be working with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
The feeling is mutual: "We are excited to have her perform at our 2016 Man & Woman of the Year celebration," says the society's senior campaign manager, Sarah Langevin Hopkins.
Taylor will honor two young cancer survivors, a boy named Garrett and a girl named Savannah.
"I'll be singing 'Over the Rainbow,' " she says.
"It has really become my signature song."

Trip Itinerary
From your tour host
Originally from Russia, I moved to beautiful Kansas City in 1999. I always say that I have two homes. My second home is Kansas City. I feel lucky to be a Russian living in the heart of America and experience two great cultures.
From 2012 to 2018, I had a privilege to study poetry in the Gorky Literature Institute in the heart of Russia – Moscow. During these years, I traveled to Russia every spring and fall. This made me to relearn and appreciate more rich culture and history of my homeland. It inspired me in the way that I decided to start the Russian Cultural Association, a non-profit organization, and promote cultures of the Russian-speaking people of Missouri and Kansas.
My own story of coming to the heart of America from another country and making it my home, inspires me to connect people of different ethnic groups and promote the businesses and cultures of our diverse Midwestern community. It was my long-awaited dream to invite people from the US to travel to Russia and experience the amazing beauty and uniqueness of Moscow and St. Petersburg, two of the most distinguished cities in the world.

The blog has mostly been about biking, no big surprise. But I also set out to talk about dementia. I´m doing this trip in collaboration with Dementia Forum X and Alzheimerfonden with the common goal to raise funds for dementia research and education. So, don't forget to hit the donate button. But meanwhile I would like to talk to you about some common myths about dementia. This is just a few of them.
Dementia is a natural part of getting old
No. Although an increasing percentage is diagnosed with dementia, the older one gets, it is not "part of getting old". 1 in 14 people over the age of 65 will develop dementia and as the population gets older that number will increase.
Those who live with dementia do not know about it
Nope, wrong. With dementia comes communicative difficulties, this is true but communication and awareness is handled in different parts of the brain. That means you can have thoughts, but you cannot communicate them. Imagine that.
Dementia is not fatal
Not an easy question to answer, dementia is the umbrella term for many diseases with certain symptoms. Alzheimer for example is degenerative and as of today without a cure.
This is just the top of the iceberg and I will certainly come back to this topic.
Whats next.

My Aunt Mae Passed Away Yesterday
My cousin Bernie Descoteau called my mother last night to tell her that his mother had passed away yesterday in Iowa. Bernie's mom was my dad's sister, and the last one of the four siblings who had been alive. I always knew her as Aunt Mae, but this morning I got an e-mail from Bernie and his wife Lyresa that said her first name was actually Genevera. She was the second of the four children of my grandparents, David Madison Green and Amy Mae (Walker) Green, following my Aunt Huetta and ahead of my dad, Madison "Bud," and my Uncle Bernard "Max." Mom said Aunt Mae was 89. She suffered a bad stroke several years ago and had been in a nursing home since then. Lyresa e-mailed me this 1999 photo of Mae.
Here's that e-mail:
All, Mom's funeral is Saturday at 2 p.m. at Barker Funeral Home in West Liberty, Iowa.ĀFor those of you who just heard me call her "Mom," sheĀis Genevera "Mae" Hogan.ĀShe will be buried beside Dad, Billy CharlesĀHogan,Āat the cemetery in West Liberty. Go give someone a hug for us please. -- Bernie & LyresaPosted at 9:05 AM in DMG's Family, In Memoriam

trying to write
Well, I pretty much suck at blogging these days. I have posts swirling in my head, partially composed, never written. I have at least 15 drafts sitting that have never been completed. I sit down at the computer and my mind tends to go blank and I read the news and check my email and then something (or someone) in the house needs my attention.
I'm going to try to make a little commitment to write at least twice per week. And make at least 10 comments per week. The writing is good for me. It always has been.
Sometimes I'm not quite sure what to write about. I never thought about being a "mommy" blogger; that wasn't why I started writing. So now I have to mesh these worlds for myself – infertile but not, working my way through motherhood.
We go on a much needed vacation this week. We're taking the peanut with us; our 10th wedding anniversary is Friday.
Stay tuned if not bored to tears already.
No Responses Yet to "trying to write"
I've been trying and failing to write too.
Maybe you just need the vacation to get your mojo back. Happy 10th anniversary! Ours is Friday too.
Hey, is everything okay with Courtney (Baby Moxie). I have not heard from her in ages and hope she is already. Let me know if you have any updates (ie: a cute baby is here perhaps??)

Farnsworth visitor center
This architecture project consists in the new visitor center to the Farnsworth house design by the architect Mies van der Rohe and located in the city of Plano, USA.
The main function of the visitor center is to organize and guide the visitors to the Farnsworth house, besides preserving and managing the center and the house.
The conceptual approach departs, before any other idea, from the dark chamber concept, where the dark camera (the interior) focuses the outside. Because we had an implantation full of nature, it came the intention of framing this nature within the building, through a darker background that underlines a certain moment of the landscape.
In an architecture that affirms itself, rising to indicate its presence and position, arises the second concept, a tower, as a lighthouse that signals, guides and organizes the space. In this sense, and taking into account the moment in the space in which we intend to insert the center of visitors, and the dense forest space, with the tops of the trees approaching thirty meters high, we needed a physical element that was visible from a distance.
Moving away from the concepts of horizontality, lightness and transparency of the Farnsworth house, but touching on common aspects such as simplicity, clarity and pragmatism, the center of visitors develops vertically and closes on itself, allowing sometimes the communication with the outside. Constructed in concrete, opaque and crude, but serene and honest, surrounded by different scenarios.
The composition of the building emerges from a functional base, which seeks to answer the most practice needs of the project, tapering as it rises in height and ending in a tower, the most contemplative part of the project, which is intended to observe the surrounding landscape, of which the Farnsworth house belongs.

Wave of deadly attacks rocks Iraq: At least 32 people killed
Militants struck nine cities and towns in Iraq with bombings and shootings on Sunday, killing at least 32 people and wounding 104, in the latest wave of deadly attacks to hit the country.
With the latest violence, at least 252 people have been killed and 801 wounded in attacks in Iraq this month, according to a tally based on official sources.
Insurgents are regarded as weaker than in past years but are still able to carry out spectacular mass-casualty attacks, and have also shown they can strike heavily-protected sites such as prisons, police stations and the anti-terrorism directorate in Baghdad.
Most of Sunday's attacks were centred in Baghdad and the nearby areas of Taji, Madain and Tarmiyah, where an interior ministry official said 25 people were killed and 59 wounded, while medical sources put the toll at 28 dead and 77 wounded.
In Baghdad, a suicide bomber detonated an explosives-packed car in the central Karrada district, targeting the deputy head of police for the area, a police officer at the scene said.
The explosion scattered debris for dozens of metres (yards) from the site of the blast, shattered store windows and burned a number of cars, smashing the windows and denting the bodywork of a number of others.
A headless, limbless torso surrounded by pieces of flesh lay near the site of the explosion.
Police, most of them armed with Kalashnikov assault rifles, deployed in force on the street, and a fire truck sprayed down the site of the blast.
"We were working and we heard a loud explosion, and the air changed and everything exploded," said Firas Dawood, the owner of a shop near the site of the blast.
"What do I say about the security measures? Shit," he said.
"I was in my shop and I heard the sound of a very powerful explosion," said Abu Ihab, another shopowner. "Dust was everywhere."
"We were sitting in the shop while police were collecting flesh," he said. "Human flesh was on the sidewalk, being collected and put in plastic bags."
"When the explosion happens, it does not care about any security measures," he said. "I sit in my shop and I am afraid for my life."
Abu Ihab soon had yet another reason to be afraid, as the blast was followed by another car bomb that hit the same area.
Gunmen also shot dead a policeman in Al-Amil neighbourhood in south Baghdad, an attack followed by a car bomb that exploded after a police patrol came to investigate, the interior ministry official said.
And a police colonel was wounded by gunmen in Mansur, western Baghdad, the ministry official and a medical source said.
Four car bombs exploded in Taji, north of Baghdad.
The first bomb exploded near a husseiniyah, or Shiite place of worship, in the Shiite-majority Al-Askari neighbourhood, followed by three others in the same area, a security official said, adding women and children were among the victims.
In Madain, south of Baghdad, a car bomb exploded near a bus carrying Iranian pilgrims, a witness said.
And two roadside bombs targeted army and police patrols in the Tarmiyah area, north of Baghdad.
A car bomb targeting a police convoy killed two policemen and wounded seven others near Baquba, north of Baghdad, while another car bomb exploded south of Baquba, killing one person and wounding seven, police and a doctor from Baquba General Hospital said.
And another car bomb north of Baquba targeting police Brigadier General Mohammed al-Tamimi wounded five people, a police colonel and the doctor said.
South of Baghdad, in Kut, a car bomb exploded near a police river patrol force station, killing a civilian and three police, including two officers, and wounding seven people, a police captain and a medical official said.
And a car bomb in the northern city of Mosul exploded near an army patrol, wounding 15 people, among them a soldier, while a roadside bomb wounded four policemen, doctors and police said.
Brigadier General Abdul Jalil al-Assadi, the police chief of Diwaniyah province, meanwhile, said two suicide bombers were arrested while trying to drive explosives-packed vehicles into the city of Diwaniyah.
