The Crunch: By networking with professional suppliers and major partners, TicketCity sells tickets to over 100,000 events and concerts across the country. Building customer loyalty — through the TicketCity Executive Program, FanRewards Program, and curated sports packages — makes the online ticket seller stand out from big-box competitors and keeps avid fans coming back for more.
When I found out Florence + The Machine had just released her first U.S. tour dates, I immediately grabbed my cellphone and Googled concert tickets to see her perform live.
Finding an online ticket seller was easy, but finding the right seats wasn't. I couldn't view any charts or pictures of the venue to show me if the seats I had selected were near the stage or up in the nose-bleeds section. Feeling disappointed after tons of searching, I put my phone away and, needless to say, didn't buy any tickets.
My experience is just one snapshot out of countless other fans who try to find the right seats at the right price; either the prices are inflated too high or the seating options just aren't there. Instead of building up adrenaline with the thought of seeing a favorite player or singer in person, fans deflate from the dreaded ticket-hunting rat race.
TicketCity, a seasoned online ticket seller, understands this frustrating experience all too well. By building an easy-to-use search platform and pulling together a team of ticket experts, TicketCity created a solution to help fans enjoy the find-and-buy-your-tickets experience. The company even went as far as putting the "cherry on top" of the process by offering rewards and discount programs. Customers aren't just another number to TicketCity; they're viewed as spirited fans who deserve to enjoy an event from start to finish.
Founded By A Frustrated Sports Fan — For Frustrated Fans
Randy Cohen wanted to watch the Texas Longhorns play during March Madness and was disappointed by how hard it was to find tickets. Frustrated with the overall ticket-buying process, he decided to do something about it.
Starting out with four employees and one computer tucked away in a small office, Cohen launched TicketCity in Austin, Texas in 1990. Through hard work and expert knowledge of the industry, the online ticket marketplace launched real-time ticketing back in 2001 and recently sold its 1 millionth ticket in 2015. More and more partners joined with TicketCity to provide authentic, affordable tickets for thousands of fans in the U.S., making it one of the best ticket sellers in the market.
Despite being small, the company's attention to detail sets them apart from competitors like StubHub or Ticketmaster. Cohen and the TicketCity team are not only available to answer questions by phone or live chat but also provide expert knowledge on events. Most staff members are frequent concert-goers and attend many of the same sporting events, so they are more than willing to let fans pick their brains for minute details and information.
"Not only do we have 25 years of experience, but we've been around longer than any of the other major ticket marketplaces," said Ashley Kubiszyn, the PR manager at TicketCity.
Offering valuable knowledge is just one perk of using TicketCity as a first-choice ticket seller. Fans can also trust the approval process that each ticket goes through before it's available to the public, relieving skepticism for all types of buyers.
Fans Can Score Concert & Sports Tickets In Just Minutes
Every ticket is authenticated and competitively priced at TicketCity. Once tickets are purchased from a distributor, they are backed up by the TicketCity Guarantee, which means fans will either receive their tickets on time or they can get their money back.
When looking for tickets, fans can browse through individual sports categories to find a specific event. The easy-to-use search even offers tabs for individual teams, so finding Miami Heat or the British Open tickets is a breeze.
Fans can also rely on TicketCity to help them with each step in the ticket-buying process — even the event itself. For instance, if a customer purchases one of TicketCity's sports travel packages, a staff of enthusiastic employees will be on-site to make sure everything is taken care of during the event. This type of dedication is what sets them apart from competitors.
"Many of us have attended these events before, so we really can provide that expert knowledge when dealing with tickets," Kubiszyn said.
Turning Loyal Fans Into Loyal Customers at TicketCity
A lot goes into selling tickets for over 100,000 events, but it comes down to one important value for TicketCity — creating customer loyalty. Fans can choose from all-inclusive sports travel packages or buying 3 tickets and getting the fourth for free to heighten their experience at a show or game. Most big ticket sites just sell tickets; TicketCity sells experiences, such as private transportation, on-site concierge, and exclusive hotel lodging.
"At Ticket City, our goal is to create the best experience for our client," said Ashley Kubiszyn, the marketing and communications director at TicketCity.com.
The FanRewards Program: Buy 3 Tickets, Get 1 Free
Building customer loyalty is important to TicketCity, so having the FanRewards Program incentivizes fans to buy their tickets from here. When a customer purchases 3 tickets within a 12-month period, he or she can redeem a reward code that's worth the lowest-priced ticket from a previous purchase. Basically, fans can get a free fourth ticket — all on TicketCity. This rewards program is a great way to increase sales while getting fans excited about receiving a free ticket.
Sports Packages: Curated By the TicketCity Sports Travel Team
TicketCity knows attending the Kentucky Derby or Super Bowl is typically on a fan's sports bucket list, so the company created a team that specializes in pulling together all-in-inclusive packages that offer a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If a fan is interested in watching the Ryder Cup championship, he or she can buy a package that includes hotel reservations, ground passes, ticket upgrades, and personal, on-site service. (Talk about a dream come true!) TicketCity offers many exclusive packages that fans can't wait to get their hands on.
The TicketCity Executive Program: Select Access & Pricing
Targeting big brands and companies, the TicketCity Executive Program finds tickets — at any time, even worldwide — and creates special packages that win clients over. When a customer joins this program, he or she will receive premier access, on-site service, and a 5% discount when a minimum of $500 is spent. Buying exclusive tickets for clients isn't hard for companies when they can rely on TicketCity to do the work for them.
TicketCity Gives Great Experiences From Checkout to the Venue
As TicketCity continues to be one of the leading ticket providers, fans can expect to find more ways of making their experiences better, such as a seamless checkout experience to VIP extras at the event. Enhancing customer loyalty is just one way TicketCity prospers in the ticketing business, despite being a small company. Taking bad experiences and creating easy solutions will always win over customers.
"What makes our service so great is that we all love what we do," Kubiszyn said. "We're really lucky we get to work with such a fun product and we get to create experiences and memories for our clients."

"Corporate Officer/Director Liability"
Thomas K. Potter, III, Burr & Forman LLP
Officers and directors of a corporation have fiduciary duties to the corporation and to the shareholders (including to minority shareholders). In some cases, corporate officers and directors may even owe fiduciary duties to creditors of the corporation. These fiduciary duties exist irrespective of the fact that the officer or director has never expressly agreed to assume the duties, responsibilities and potential liabilities of a fiduciary. A phrase used by the courts very frequently to describe the fiduciary duty of a corporate officer or director is "utmost good faith." Corporate officers and directors, as fiduciaries, have an obligation to refrain from acting in their own best interests, with respect to decisions made in their fiduciary capacity, where doing so would conflict with the interests of the corporation or its shareholders. When corporate officers or directors breach a collective fiduciary duty, those officers and directors may well be held jointly and severally liable. When a court applies the principle of joint and several liability, each defendant is held liable for all of the damages awarded by the court. Mr. Potter will discuss the fiduciary duties owed to a corporation by a director or an officer and explain the liabilities faced by these individuals if these fiduciary duties are breached.

I'm a failure.
I'm not being hard on myself when I say that, I just mean to say that sometimes, I fail. It's not a judgment, merely a fact.
I'm also a success.
I'm not saying that to pump my ego, I just mean to say that sometimes, I succeed. It's not a judgment, merely a fact.
I read something this week from Joshua Fields Millburn about
Also: I have a boatload of photos. I'm going to put in the hours to digitize those.
Yeah, digression. Success, failure. Right. That's where we're going.
I'm reworking my priorities, what I understand success and failure to be, and how I approach stuff.
And by stuff, I mean stuff. Physical things.
Memories are stored inside us, not in attics, basements, airtight boxes or vacuum-sealed bags. Not even in pages or picture frames or newspaper clippings or boxes with motivational sayings on them.
The more I reflect on my life, the more successful I see I've been.

my plans weren't put into practice but i made 5 useful flair skirts ,1 useful top,2 useful dresses,a beach dress ,a deux pieces…that saved the day…now I am heading to simple coats and dresses for formal occasion …very needed two
1 January
Jan 1, 2013, 10.18 AMby constanteffort
As a first attempt to brace myself for the new year I made a list of "do" projects and a registration of the "haven't completed" projects. I also considered the "why I need these projects" factor.
Here is what I came up with:
(!) Projects that I must make to Practice basic sewing skills (basic blouses,mum's pyzamas trousers,my pyzama top, my tunic,a vest)
(!) Projects for which I have already bought the supplies and at some some point I must start with them( black wool,navy striped blue wool,light green wool,black fake fur,purple crep, creme satin, brown soued, white cotton,light blue wool)
(!) Half finished projects (chinese linen tunic,tunic, woolen trousers)
(!) a bra
(!) bags (red plaid, grey velvet)
(!) girl's dresses
(!) pillows and fabrick dolls
(!) first attempts for quilts
Also, I must gather any remaining finished projects and photograph them for my wall,( to start unrolling the string from somewhere).
Of course, I need a motivation to do all these.My motivation is :
(!) I need clothes for basic or crucial moments of my social presence (go downtown shopping,conduct with the public services, have a coffee with a friend, have a date coffee, a friday saturday night out, something for the church, for wedding occasions,for summer travels,to attend seminars for the unemployed,a book presentation)
(!) I need clothes in monochromes and tested in time patterns,for now,to mix and match easily as I still can't afford to add up to date garments.
(!) Mother's clothes ( I must support my mother's wardrobe by sewing for her as she won't spend anything for herself and ,the garments I had bought her, when I had a job, have become rugs).

Can there be any doubt that the most surprising event of 2016 was the election of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States? Reactions have been breathtakingly diverse and troubling to more and more of us as Trump's tweets get more omnipresent as he appears to loathe holding press conferences with any degree of regularity.
In past years I have speculated on future events based on what has happened in the years just closed. This year, as the new President and his team assemble, even the most intrepid analysts seem unable to do more than cavil about the seemingly unlimited damages that can be wrought upon us. Ironically, the most harm could be visited upon those who listened and voted for the siren song of "Making America Great Again."
Thus, I humbly offer my list of possible good and bad outcomes, and stating up front that it is not comprehensive and the items may be overcome be events with the appearance of black swan events and information to which I am not privy.
Bad Actions or Inactions Possible Under Trump:
Good Actions or Inactions Possible Under Trump:
I am hopeful that leaders of both parties will realize how perilously close to multiple disasters our world lurches. Even the US elites are not immune from disaster. If the world order continues to erode, their seemingly cozy perches could come tumbling down along with everyone else. Read Edgar Allen Poe's "Masque of the Red Death" and think about the already proven case for anthropocene climate change.
"But the Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious. When his dominions were half depopulated, he summoned to his presence a thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among the knights and dames of his court, and with these retired to the deep seclusion of one of his castellated abbeys."1

Online video has become established as a fundamental part of the fabric of the web; widely used by people for information sharing, learning and entertainment. We report results from a design study that explored how people interact to create shared multi-path video representations in a social video environment. The participants created multiple versions of a video by providing alternative and interchangeable scenes that formed different paths through the video content. This multi-path video approach was designed to circumvent limitations of traditionally linear video for use as a shared representation in collaborative knowledge building activities. The article describes how people created video resources in collaborative activities in two different settings. We discuss different modes of working that were observed and outline the specific challenges of using the video medium as shared representation. Finally we demonstrate how an analysis of collaborative dimensions of the shared multi-path video representation can be applied to discuss the design space and to raise the discourse about the usefulness of these representations in knowledge building environments.

After Ignacio Varchausky gave his musicality seminar at the Casa de tango here in Buenos Aires, where the TangoVía project resides, he was kind to show us around the premises and demonstrate the current state of the digital archive.
They have a very nice set of equipment, he showed us the machine they use to clean the discs properly before doing the transfers, the different turntables for different kinds of discs, amplifiers and ADC as well as tape equipment. In addition to the recordings themselves, they are scanning or photographing the covers and where available, the original scores.
Now the really interesting part was when Ignacio sat down in front of a computer and demonstrated the already working database with everything that was already digitized and properly catalogued. From a nice web interface, one could perform all kinds of searches in the music, matrix number, original format, artist, year etc. From the results page, you could play an mp3 version of the material directly, and where available you could open the scores and watch them while listening to the music. Very impressive, and no doubt this will become an important tool for musicians, dancers and researchers in the future.
Naturally, I was very interested in their plans with respect to releasing the material they are collecting. That is the next phase, said Ignacio, first they have to collect the material, and archive it properly. Then the legal issues have to be resolved. They hope to be able to put the database online eventually, for everybody to enjoy the richness of tango through the ages. Then they will think about releasing records. They don't get much if any help from the record companies, in fact in a way they are competitors, as the record companies don't have access to all the material themselves anymore. The record companies have themselves to blame, of course, as they burned the masters themselves…
TangoVía are collaborating with a lot of important and knowledgeable collectors, including the local partner of the Japanese Akihito Baba of Club Tango Argentino 'fame'. In addition to published recordings, they will digitize rare gems; tracks recorded from radio broadcasts, outtakes. Ignacio demonstrated a few such hidden jewels of the collections, Horacio Salgán playing and Alfredo Gobbi (violinist) playing solo piano.
How can you and I help? If you didn't already listen to the interview by Keith Elshaw, I can tell you that they are launching a program for donating money around March 2010. For U.S. citizens, it will even be tax deductable. I will keep you posted when they launch the new program.
In addition to spreading the word, you can start thinking about organizing some charity milongas or adding a voluntary donation to festival/marathon/milonga payment options. I think this is a project clearly worthy of the support from the entire tango community all over the world!

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Patrik Berglund broke a 10-game scoring drought with two goals to lead the St. Louis Blues to a 4-3 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night.
Berglund scored twice in a span of 4:20 in the first period to break a 1-1 tie. The win helped the Blues keep pace in the tight Western Conference. They had won two of their previous seven home games after starting the season 8-0-1.
Jaroslav Halak stopped 35 shots to improve to 13-10-4. Halak had given up 11 goals on 67 shots in two losses to Detroit earlier this season.
Berglund got the second two-goal game of his career. He scored twice in a 2-0 win over Los Angeles on March 24, 2009. The 25th overall pick in the 2006 draft, Berglund whistled a shot off defenseman Niklas Kronwall to give St. Louis a 2-1 lead.
Erik Johnson and Matt D'Agostini also scored for the Blues, who won for the third time in five games. Johnson tallied on a power play in the opening period. It was his second goal of the season and first in 25 games. D'Agostini converted on a breakaway to give St. Louis a 4-1 lead in the second period.
Detroit goalie Chris Osgood, with 399 wins, was looking to becoming the 10th goalie in NHL history to record 400.
The Red Wings, who had a two-game winning streak snapped, were without leading point-producer Pavel Datsyuk, who suffered a broken bone in his right hand in a 5-4 overtime win over Vancouver on Wednesday.
Johan Franzen, who scored the Red Wings' first goal, took over for Datsyuk on a line with Tomas Holmstrom and Henrik Zetterberg. Datsyuk has 12 goals and 27 assists. He has played in at least 75 games each of the past six seasons.
Nicklas Lidstrom cut the deficit to 4-2 during a two-man advantage in the second period. Patrick Eaves followed with his eighth goal just over five minutes later.
Detroit outshot St. Louis 15-4 in a scoreless third period.
Notes: Detroit defenseman Brian Rafalski has eight assists in his past five games. ... St. Louis has sold out all 17 of its home games this season. ... St. Louis Cardinals players Matt Holliday and David Freese were in attendance. ... This was the first game of a five-game homestand for St. Louis. ...Detroit is 8-5-1 on the road. .... St. Louis center T.J. Oshie, out with a broken ankle, turned 24 on Thursday.

Our stock of fasteners range includes sizes 1/4" NB to 4" NB in Class 2000, 3000, 6000 and 9000. There are a variety of applications of fasteners in various industries such as automobiles, aircraft, appliances, agricultural machinery, commercial construction, and infrastructure. Stainless Steel Fasteners can be divided into two main categories - non-permanent fasteners and permanent fasteners. Non-permanent fasteners (they enable parts to be assembled and disassembled repeatedly) can further be divided into two groups: General fasteners and Threaded fasteners. They are the most widely used type of non-permanent fasteners since they can easily be removed then reused.
Threaded fasteners are the principal devices used for assembling components and they are usually grouped into three main categories: Threads can be either external or internal:
External Thread: External threads are on the outside of a member (such as the threads of bolts and screws). A chamfer on the end of the screw thread makes it easier to engage it into a hole or a nut. An external thread is usually cut using a die or a lathe.
Internal Thread: Internal threads are on the inside of a member (such as the threads of nuts and holes). Usually, threaded holes have a chamfer on the side from which the screw will enter to make its engagement easier. An internal thread is usually cut using a tap.
Stainless Steel Bolts: A bolt has a head on one end and threads on the other end and it is paired with a nut. Machine Bolt, Stove Bolt, J-Bolt, Hanger Bolt, U Bolt, Shoulder Bolt, Elevator Bolt, Hex Head Bolt, Carriage Bolt, Anchor Bolt, Eye Bolt are some of the types of bolts fasteners. SS 316Ti Bolts and Stainless Steel Bolts is in ready stock with Siddhagiri Metals and Tubes.
Stainless Steel Screws: Screws are used to join two mating parts together and similar to bolts, they have the head on one end and threads on the other end. However, screws usually have longer threads than bolts, also they can be made with slotted heads. Screws are further divided into two sub-categories; Cap Screws and Machine Screws. Machine screws are generally smaller in size than cap screws and they are used for screwing into thin materials. SS 316Ti Screws and Stainless Steel Screws is in ready stock with Siddhagiri Metals and Tubes.
Stainless Steel Setscrews: Setscrews are a special type of screws that usually does not have a head and they are used to prevent rotation or movement between parts (such as a shaft and a collar). A Setscrew is driven through one member such that it will apply a compressive force on the other member while a screw or a bolt clamps the two members together. SS 316Ti Setscrews and Stainless Steel Setscrews is in ready stock with Siddhagiri Metals and Tubes.
Stainless Steel Studs: A Stud is a rod that is threaded on both ends and joins two mating parts. A nut may be used on one end. SS 316Ti Studs and Stainless Steel Studs is in ready stock with Siddhagiri Metals and Tubes.
Stainless Steel Nuts: A Nut is the counterpart of a bolt. Bolts and nuts are used together to clamp two or more parts having unthreaded holes together. Our supply of Stainless Steel Nuts are Hex Nuts, Wing Nut, Castle Nut, Flex Lock Nut, High Nut, Coupling Nut, Cap Nut, Acorn Nut, Flange Lock Nut, Jam Nut, Flange Nut, Square Nut, Nylon Lock Nut, Slotted Nut, T-Nuts, Heavy Hex Nut. SS 316Ti Nuts and Stainless Steel Nuts is in ready stock with Siddhagiri Metals and Tubes.
Washers: Washers are commonly used under the heads of bolts and screws and they are used under nuts as well. The most common type of washers is the Flat Washer, where it is used to increase the bearing areas of the head, and protect the material finish during assembly. The use of washers also prevents the sharp corner of the hole into which the bolt or screw is being inserted from biting into bolt head fillet where that can cause the failure of the bolts during service. Our stock range of Stainless Steel washers are Lock Washer, Spring Washers, Dome Washer, Fender Washer, Tab Washers, Plain Washer, Flat Washer, Hexagonal Washer, Square Washer, Dome Tooth Washer, Split Washer, Countersunk Washer, Tooth Lock Washer, Dock Washer, Ogee Washer, Hex Washer.

Properties of AISI 316Ti Stainless Steel
316Ti SS Cold Forming
316Ti is readily brake or roll formed into a variety of parts. It is also suited to stamping, heading and drawing but post work annealing is recommended to relieve internal stresses. Cold working will increase both strength and hardness of 316Ti stainless steel.
316Ti SS Hot Forming
All common hot working processes can be performed on 316Ti stainless steel. Hot working should be avoided below 927°C. The ideal temperature range for hot working is 1149-1260°C. Post-work annealing is recommended to ensure optimum corrosion resistance.
316Ti SS Machining
316Ti stainless steel has good machinability. Machining can be enhanced using the following rules: Cutting edges must be kept sharp. Dull edges cause excess work hardening. Cuts should be light but deep enough to prevent work hardening by riding on the surface of the material. Chip breakers should be employed to assist in ensuring swarf remains clear of the work. Low thermal conductivity of austenitic alloys results in heat concentrating at the cutting edges. This means coolants and lubricants are necessary and must be used in large quantities.
316Ti SS Welding
Fusion welding performance for 316Ti stainless steel is excellent both with and without fillers. Grade 316Ti may be used as an alternative to 316 in heavy section welds. Oxyacetylene welding has not been found to be successful for joining of 316 stainless steel.
316Ti SS Heat Treatment
316Ti stainless steel cannot be hardened by heat treatment. Solution treatment or annealing can be done by rapid cooling after heating to 1010-1120°C.

It's almost time to bid farewell to the cold, wet winter days. With the arrival of spring comes an exciting opportunity to refresh your wardrobe and give your 'do a makeover. If you're looking for inspiration, why not give these styles a whirl?
Big, bouncy blow dry
If you have an event coming up, or you tend to enjoy glamming up, this is the style for you. Seen on the spring/summer catwalks, the big bouncy blow dry is back! Use volumizing spray before you start drying your hair. Section off your hair, and use a barrel brush to smooth flyaway strands and add height. When you've finished drying, throw your hair upside down and then fix with hairspray.

Surf style
The 90's are well and truly back this spring, so if you've got any old bandanas lying around, you're in luck. This look is all about low maintenance, laid back texture. You can add waves for that beachy look or simply for the ultimate bedhead style by adding dry shampoo to straight hair. Avoid over styling. If you have 5 minutes to get ready in the mornings, this could be your new go-to casual look.
Wet look
The wet look styles seen on the catwalks varied between sophisticated vintage Hollywood styles and effortless, just-got-out-of-the-ocean vacation styles. If you're trying this look, match the style to the occasion. If you're going out on the town, ramp up the glamor with a side-parting and tight curls or go for a sleek high ponytail. If you're just hanging out, part your hair in the center, slick back the roots, and leave the ends natural.
Long and lovely
As we move towards summer, it's nice to adopt a more relaxed approach to styling. In the winter, we tend to opt for more structured styles, which require time and effort. Channel your inner festival-goer this spring/summer, and opt for long, loose tresses. If you have short or mid-length hair, you can still give this look a go with tape in hair extensions. Give the straighteners a few days off from time and time and embrace the natural look. If you want movement and texture, braid your hair when it's still damp, and wait for it to dry. On days when you're in a hurry, and you want to throw it up, opt for a messy bun or fishtail braids.
Bardot beehive
If you love retro styles, you'll be pleased to hear that this season's muse is Brigitte Bardot. Think vintage beehives and classic updo's for formal occasions, and casual waves teamed with headbands and oversized bows for a playful daytime look. Just add feline eyeliner flicks and plenty of mascara, and you're good to go.

Like fashion, hair trends come and go in the blink of an eye, so now is the time to start planning your spring styles. Go vintage and celebrate years gone by, opt for easy, relaxed festival vibes or embrace your inner supermodel with a slicked back pony or a bouncy blowout.

For the last week, after every couple of functions on the keyboard, I get a warning that I'm running low on disk space. Deleting files from the hard drive is kind of confusing since I'm not sure which ones are junk. Weeding through my photo files will save alot of room. Each month's file has about 1,000 pics so I'm deleting a ton of them! Email in-box is also a big culprit. This will take time so, at least for tonight, I have something to do!
Some very random photos before I hit 'Delete'.
We live in one of the highest points in Clinton, and just a few streets over, homes have this view of the reservoir! I was gardening last week when I noticed the pretty pink cast in the sky so in I ran for the car keys and camera and was just in time to capture this sunset. Going... Going... Gone! Too bad they're blurry!This blooming weed is all over my yard. Mr_Subj just did a post identifying it. I pull out tons but leave some to bloom for late interest, and they look great in arrangements. See...very similar to baby's breath. I just threw them together with some sedum, verbena and chinese lantern pods. Don't know why I'm not sleeping well. My schedule has been kind of crazy too so I SHOULD be exhausted. Could it have anything to do with my baby being away at college? You bet! So if I don't mention it, would you notice that her dress is on backwards here?! I miss you, kiddo! My little white fluff ball of a shadow is right here beside me though. Bandit was in snoring mode but as soon as I crept out of bed, he was up! Don't you just love that in a pet? Well, okay....maybe NOT when you really want some privacy...lol!I wouldn't think I'm alone in this wide-eyed dilemma...I bet some of you can totally relate...right?

Every year, I work hard to find ways for my kids to actively participate in giving back. I want to raise them to be generous to others and also understand that not everyone is as lucky as they are.
This year, we were stunned to hear that thousands of children across the U.S. either share a toothbrush with their siblings or don't have one at all.
Can you believe it?
So we're teaming up with hello products to help make the holidays friendlier and put toothpaste and toothbrushes under the tree for kids this year.
hello's mission is to create the most natural, effective and delightful personal care products in the world, in the friendliest way possible.
And they're always looking to "spread the friendly" to make a positive impact in the world. This year, they have already donated close to $350,000 in product to charity.
Learn more about hello products and their mission here.
This holiday season, we're working with a local shelter for women and children to make sure that everyone has a new toothbrush and hello toothpaste under the tree.
With both fluoride and fluoride-free toothpaste options for kids and adults, in mouth-watering flavors like Blue Raspberry, Natural Watermelon, Mojito Mint and Supermint, hello is creating naturally friendly oral care products that really work.
And they're doing it while keeping their mission to make the world a friendlier place in mind.
Whether you want to make sure every child has a toothbrush or go caroling in a senior center, here are a few ideas to give back with your kids this holiday season.
Focus on the little things
Reach out to shelters near you and find out what they need. Oftentimes a donation of hats, coats, blankets, pajamas – and yes – even toothpaste and toothbrushes can make a huge difference.
Keep your kids involved by pointing out all of the little things that we take for granted every single day. And how something as small as a toothbrush can make a huge difference for kids that don't have one.
Adopt a family
Work with your local community to adopt a family or a child for the holidays. Involve your kids by making lists of what every person might want or need and then go shopping together. Have your kids write letters and color pictures to give as well.
Serve a meal
Reach out to soup kitchens and shelters to see how your family can volunteer their time to serve a meal this season. This is a very active way for your kids to see firsthand how their time helps others.
Go caroling
Contact senior centers in your area to see if there's a way for your family to go caroling during the holidays – or stop by to spread some holiday cheer. Maybe your kids can pass out candy canes or pictures they've colored.
Participate in random acts of kindness
Each day, challenge your kids (and yourself) to do one random act of kindness. Maybe you buy coffee for the person in line behind you or leave a plate of Christmas cookies on your neighbor's front porch. This is a great way to show your kids that little gestures can have a huge impact.
Learn More About hello products
As you learn more about hello products, I think you're going to love them just as much as I do.
And just wait until you actually use them! Not only are they a super friendly company, all of their products are vegan and free of environmentally unfriendly ingredients like triclosan and microbeads.
hello also offers toothbrushes featuring handles made from 50% recycled materials, and breath sprays free from alcohol, dyes, artificial sweeteners and propellant.

The Center for the Arts, University at Buffalo, will present Moscow Festival Ballet in "Giselle" at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 13, inside the Mainstage Theatre at the Center for the Arts (North Campus). The performance is sponsored by M&T Bank.
The Moscow Festival Ballet was founded in 1989 when legendary principal dancer of the Bolshoi Ballet Sergei Radchenko sought to realize his vision of a company that would bring together the highest classical elements of the great Bolshoi and Kirov Ballet companies in an independent new company within the framework of Russian classic ballet. Leading dancers from across Russia have forged, under Radchenko's direction, a new company staging fresh productions of timeless classics.
The MFB has completed multiple tours of Europe and the U.S., and recently completed a tour of Japan, Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong.
"Giselle" is a full-length ballet in two acts with music by Adolphe Adam, libretto by Jules-Henri Vemoy de Saint-Georges and Theophile Gautier, and choreography by Jean Coralli and Jules Joseph Perrot. "Giselle" was first seen in Moscow in 1843, just two years after its creation in Paris, and a year after it was staged in St. Petersburg.
MFB's production maintains the Russian tradition of scrupulous production and loving concern for this gem of the Romantic ballet.
Tickets for Moscow Festival Ballet in "Giselle" are available at the UBCFA box office (10 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays) and online at tickets.com. To charge, tickets call 1-888-223-6000. Groups can call 716-645-6771. For more information, call 716-645-2787 or visit www.ubcfa.org.
