I usually don't write reviews, but I have to give credit when it's deserved! Scott Kosner is an outstanding attorney. My case is a divorce and child custody case that is extremely complex. Scott has managed to pretty much settle my entire case! He said " I am not a miracle worker". Honestly Scott is pretty darn close to a miracle worker! When I originally did my search on avvo and thumbtack it was a Sunday morning. I was stressed didn't know what to do or where to start! About 15 mins I received an email from Scott with his personal cell phone number. I sent him a text explained my situation and he responded! On a Sunday! He put my mind to ease told me don't worry about money we can figure out a plan. Prior to hiring Scott I went for the free consultation and he explained my case what I was up against etc... he didn't rush me took his time I felt comfortable and at ease. After I would send Scott questions about certain things and he would always get back to me. I hired Scott last min like a week before court and he was ready and prepared for my case! He even guided the opposing council and explained to her what action was needed. Of course, all in my best interest! Scott has a wealth of knowledge and has great strategic planning to make sure in the end the decision is fair and in his clients best interest. Scott went over and beyond and it's not about the money he truly cares about the outcome of your case and your best interest. If you need a great attorney Scott is the man you need!!! I can't thank Scott enough for his help!! Such a blessing!!! Thank You! Felicia T.
I sought the assistance from Miguel on my own divorce since November 2014 since then until recently, He was always helping me with paperwork that included getting our home in Palos Verdes resolved in the courts. It was a simple divorce case except for the home because my ex did not want to participate willingly. Finally, with Miguel's help, It was resolved in Torrance Court house. I am grateful for his help. He is proffesioal, affordable and I happily recommend him.
Vanessa is an amazing support and resource. I've been working with her through the initial filing of my divorce and all of the custody issues that are popping up along the way. There have been some emergency issues that have needed to be tended to immediately and she has worked with me right away to get any documents taken care of as soon as I need them. There have been plenty of times that I worry that I'm asking too last minute or for too much and she always makes me feel like a priority. She has been a support throughout the entire process through each step. She will put any documents together and give you the opportunity to check and double check everything for accuracy. She's been the best resource I've had during this process.
After researching for a divorce lawyer for several days, I found Robert Greenberg. What stood out to me was his passion to help people more than a passion for billable hours. From the start, he explained the divorce process, what his responsibility was and how he billed. I was impressed by his professional ethics and how he sent me a financial accounting every month. After listening to my concerns and frustrations, he was very gifted at sifting out the main points and streamlining my case. He was straight forward about issues that were not viable in Court or were viable but to what end, and would offer options, so that I could make a wise decision on whether to spend money or not. I really appreciated walking away from a meeting feeling that he had my back, and that was worth its weight in gold. I knew I could call him if an emergent situation were to arise. He attended a custody mediation where I was told to sign papers but Mr Greenberg would not let me sign until he read it. Had I signed it as written, I would had to move out of my house, which was and is not necessary. I'm so grateful he was there. I like Mr Greenberg's energy, professionalism and integrity. If you are looking for an attorney who keeps his cool (and yours) both in and out of Court, I highly recommend him. And my favorite part, he is compassionate, even while working towards your best outcome.
I retained Ms. Fazeli after doing a lot of research and communications with other Family Law Attorneys as am going through a complicated divorce. She provided me with a free consultation, and after speaking with her to discuss my case, it was clear that she is very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience. She completely understood my situation, and provided me with an excellent cost effective strategy. I am very happy with my choice in retaining her as my Attorney, and highly recommend her firm to anyone needing a really good Family Law Attorney.
I was referred to the lawyers at Pondeva & Sohrab for my divorce case from a colleague. After it was all said and done I can say they definitely exceeded my expectations - very knowledgable, always available when I needed to talk or set up an appointment. They worked hard till the very end of my case.
Great family lawyer, always looking out for the Client. He won't over charge and is always prepared. Easy to talk to and finds the best solution for the whole family. Thanks Brad!
Laureen was amazing! I had a simple divorce, but I was overwhelmed by the whole process. Enter ALaureen&Associates, she met with me, gave me a very reasonable rate, and took care of everything for me! I was able to finally destress from the whole divorce experience and process. Thank you!

Barbara has been my attorney for around 30 years and has always served my best interest. It's comforting to know that she always takes my phone calls. She brilliantly negotiated my divorce settlement and set up my Living Trust among other legal financial matters. I TRUST her explicitly.
Thomas Scully gave me a extremely indepth free consultation that completely relieved my anxiety & stress. He has a great manner. superb listening skills, is very empathetic and takes the time to explain what a defendant needs to know. I am 100% certain if I decide to file a counter claim that Thomas Scully will be the lawyer I will hire.
Hogan was great, very smart and knowledgeable. He got me through my divorce, I was able to keep a lot of property and got me 50% custody of my kids. After calling around, his fees were the most reasonable. He came highly recommended and at the end of the day, I didn't lose my shirt through my ugly divorce.
Harry at the HMA law Group represented me in a 24-month long divorce case involving real estate property and personal retirement funds. From beginning to end, Harry was able to successfully represent me throughout the complete process. Through his excellent work, knowledge and preparation, he was able to win my case and get the property and retirement funds awarded to me. I appreciate all the work he put into my case along this long and at times frustrating ordeal. I found Harry to be a of very high ethics, very knowledgeable and an excellent attorney. I am completely satisfied with all his service, and would not hesitate to recommend him, or call on him in the future if I am ever in need of legal services.
I can't say enough good about Jessica Lesowitz. Of all the attorney jokes you have heard, Jessica is the direct opposite. She was referred to me after 16 years into my divorce from a man that has more money than God and had been fighting me for every crumb the court made him throw my way. It was an emotional and exhausting 16 years. Then I met Jessica for our first meeting. Wow! A real person that practices law! I learned through our experience this past year that she is a brilliant attorney, humble and confident and compassionate. Sincerely! She will surprise you at how tiny she is, but don't let that fool you. She is a fearless powerhouse. She is the David that slayed Goliath. You will not regret hiring her to defend you, male or female. I am thrilled with the advice she gave me and the outcome of my litigation.
Ms. Shaffer is a highly ethical and outstanding attorney. The money was well spent in my case, not only for the successful conclusion of our divorce but also for peace and stability that our little kid needs for years to come.
An Excellent Attorney who has his clients best interest at heart.
I hired Matthew to assist in my divorce from my wife. Matt was helpful, attentive and the best attorney I've ever had, hands down. I highly recommend him for anyone with family law needs.
I have mediated family law related issues for about 20 years, and only one case fell out of mediation. I charge a flat fee depending on the complexity of the case which is quoted to you upfront, so there are no surprises. And I have been divorced, so I have walked in the shoes of my clients. I understand where you are and where you are going. And I am always optimistic about the future.

Describe your best/most memorable experience in hospitality.
Best experience; my favourite moment and the feeling I always remember is that gala dinner reveal.

A close tie with the final wave off when the last delegates get in the transfer for the airport and were all done.
What is the attraction of working in hospitality and tourism?
I love the variety, every day is different; the people you meet, the challenges you face and the surprises along the way.
How do you feel your QRC qualification has helped you along your career journey?
QRC kicked off my love for the variety, the practical courses helped to develop my passion for great food and beverage. The shifts in various workplaces even Housekeeping enhanced my knowledge of all departments within a hospital environment and how they work together. Today this is very useful in my role, being able to understand what hotels/venues do and what they need from me to get it done.

Forty-eight years ago, Ray Ciccolo, a young coin-laundry entrepreneur, stopped by a car dealership to buy a new car. He left with the car – and owning the dealership too. Since then he's amassed 11 dealerships as Village Automotive Group, in the Boston area, with three more to go online by year's end, retailing about 14,000 new and used vehicles a year. We spoke to Ray recently to learn more about how he turned risk into reward.
Let's start at the beginning Ray. How did you get into the business?
Forty-eight years ago, right out of college, I was looking around for what I wanted to do. I knew I was entrepreneurial; I had already opened a coin-operated launderette while in college and by graduation owned three of them. I built those stores mostly with debt, but had paid it off and was doing okay with them. I decided I needed a car, and knowing a friend, who was a general manager of Gene Brown Motors, I went to see him. They sold Rambler and Volvo.
While I was talking with him, he mentioned that the dealership owner was in financial trouble – the bank was trying to close him down –and had I ever considered getting into the automobile business. So, he set up a meeting with the bank and the bank thought that with my entrepreneurial background that I was a good risk to take over the note. I sold my three coin-operated launderettes and along with the note took over this car dealership. I often say I went in to buy a used car and came out with the dealership.
A rather big jumping off point…
This was 1963 or so, and I was about 25. I didn't know anything about the automobile business, but I had gotten a degree in business, was entrepreneurial, and so I had an idea of what to do and used my instincts. One of the first things I knew to do was to look at our expense structure. Back then, all the expenses were Rambler and all the income was Volvo. The used cars, most all Nash-Ramblers, were under water because we had to put too much money in them as trades if we wanted to sell another new Rambler. We eventually gave up Rambler, and the history of that car company proved my decision correct. As a result, we solidified the balance sheet and became a stronger company, and we grew from there.
Volvo was a little-known brand then. Wasn't that risky?
No, it wasn't well known, but it was an up-and-coming car back then. Volvo had one model, the 544, and not too long after that they came out with the 122-S. There was some demand on the east coast for imported cars; Volkswagen was extremely strong in the early '60s. We were retailing about 15 or 20 Volvos a month and that amounted to a solid service business as well. We focused on one product for which we could do a much better job at selling and servicing. It has become my mantra, to serve one make as opposed to throwing everything into the showroom, which many dealers did back then.
How long did you stay this single point?
I soon realized that my customer base was coming from the college community across the river: MIT, Harvard, and several other colleges in the Cambridge area. To protect my market, I opened a second Volvo dealership in Cambridge. I eventually merged the first store with this one into one big dealership, which made us, in sales, the largest Volvo dealership in North America. This merged operation, still going, is Boston Volvo Village.
What did you learn those first years that you still apply today?
I treat customers as I want to be treated and I treat my employees exactly how I want to be treated. I'm not condescending; I'm just business-like, but I'm like a friend. I treat them very, very, very well and they, in turn, respond and reciprocate my loyalty.
I learned that cash flow is king. This business is a fragile model that needs watching constantly; otherwise, you get in trouble fast. When I took over the dealership, I was handed a long list of receivables, most of which were inside company charges – customers running a tab with the dealership, which was common then. I immediately notified our customers we were no longer going to accept those charges, but invited their credit card charges. Collecting those receivables helped the cash flow immensely.
What are your dealerships?
All of our dealerships are in the Boston area, and include Boston Volvo Village, Cadillac Village of Norwood, Honda Village, Charles River Saab, Saab of Norwood, Hyundai Village of Danvers, Nissan Village, Volvo Village of Norwell, Audi Norwell, Porsche of Norwell and Volvo Village of Danvers.
In which of your stores is your office and what is your style of management?
My office is at Boston Volvo Village. My style has always been very hands on, but I have always had GMs. Interestingly, the fellow who got me into the business was the GM of the store. It didn't take me very long to realize that he would be best in another position. Moving him was a tough, tough decision, but it had to be made. So, I promoted the GSM, a younger, more aggressive guy, to be the new GM and made the old GM, a sweetheart of a guy, my sales manager. He stayed with me until last year, when he died at 90.
Decisions like this can often take too long to make – if at all.
In one of my 20 Groups, everybody started to talk about what's the worst mistake they'd ever made. Almost to a man, they said, "Sticking with an employee too long that isn't doing the job."
How do you know when it's time to let them go?
You know immediately. Nevertheless, it can take a year to get rid of a top manager who isn't doing the job. Moreover, those are difficult decisions. You tend to rationalize, if you're like me; I just hate to be confrontational. Nevertheless, you work with them and if you don't see improvement after considerable effort, you can start to get angry…and I suspect it isn't really a surprise to the person you're letting go by then, either.
What is their management structure?
General managers operate all stores; I still insist on personally interviewing my GMs. None is an equity partner. I decided a long time ago not to go that route. Because I don't do well at confrontation, I wouldn't want to have to face a partner who wasn't pulling his load.
I have an HR Department that handles all the HR in all the stores. I have a comptroller who oversees everything financially. Each store is required to have a weekly meeting for which the GM prepares an agenda of specifics about running that particular store. Every month all GMs meet with me to discuss their stores and their best practices. I find that my GMs prefer not to disclose their best practices and I sometimes find I have to pry their success methods from them.
I also have monthly service managers meetings, much like a service 20 group, which helps evaluate their performance and departmental results, but it also applies peer pressure to their efforts too. They come prepared with their numbers on spreadsheets, which we combine and project for all to see. They discuss what is working well for them to drive service results. Likewise, I have monthly meetings for parts managers. Then as often as needed, certainly quarterly, I have an office manager's meeting and they meet with the comptroller and discuss issues specific to the office.
Overall, I evaluate each store's performance based on return on sales and return on gross. I've had stores that haven't done well. Some, over the years, no matter what I did, I couldn't make money, so I sold them. I've had a half a dozen significant franchises that for any number of reasons I couldn't make money on them, so good-bye!
What is your per-store gross threshold?
I look for a minimum of 2 percent return on sales. I've had stores that have done 5 to 6 percent, which is completely outrageous. Success depends on so many factors – the facility, the management, the location…you name them. With my new stores coming on line, I'll expect a 20 percent on gross and at least 3 percent return on sales. We should see that because of their newness factors, better locations, different personnel, etc. I'll move a store until I get that level of return.
For instance, I'm on my fourth location in four years with Hyundai. I moved it originally because the first location was too small, then the second location was on a too-busy highway and then we moved into a temporary facility while I built a new facility, Hyundai Village of Danvers. This one is a winner.
A dealership re-lo isn't like moving a suitcase to other side of the street, Ray.
Absolutely it isn't! It's very, very expensive and it's not without its problems. I know many peers wouldn't relocate like I do. However, I don't believe in throwing more marketing money to fix an ailing dealership. It is rarely a marketing issue.
What does the current economic climate tell you about your future?
In 2008, when Lehman Brothers went down and the whole economic world was turned upside down, if you didn't change your business model you died. If you didn't sit down with your management staff and get everyone to cut expenses so they would be in line with revenue, trouble would come fast.
Surprisingly, we made these changes with very little staff reduction. The shock of 2008 was a wake-up call and the good dealers responded to it the right way. I have had many dealers tell me that 2009 was their most profitable year. It certainly was mine!
I'm not worried about the future. I am very bullish on the economy. I have new facilities under construction and I bought three over the last 12 months. I've spent almost $32 million this year in expansions, buying real estate and building facilities.
I just finished the Hyundai facility and we relocated one Volvo dealership, now Volvo Village of Danvers. I just began construction on a new Cadillac facility, Cadillac Village of Norwood, relocation. Finally, I just finished a brand new, ground-up Nissan facility, the 35,000 sq. ft. Nissan Village.
So, further answering the question about my outlook, let's consider that with the 20% reduction in the dealer-body, plus the fact that high scrappage rates vastly exceed new-car sales, the industry is going to sell more cars for the next four to five years.
It's also my opinion that the automobile industry is going to take the country out of recession instead of the housing business. The factories are starting to roll again; Volkswagen is coming online with a new factory and many of the factories in the states are going to be expanding because of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Many of those cars' parts will be sourced in the United States. We certainly are going to see expansion in the automobile business in the United States.
Are you concerned about your Saab stores?
Well, I'd be foolish not to be a little concerned, but Saab is a good icon. My guess is the new Chinese partners will eventually own the brand. Already Saab has two new products, the first in a long time. Saab now has a joint venture with BMW on engine technology, and a new JV with Boston Power to produce electric vehicles. Saab will be all right, though it has been nerve wracking the last four years.
How are you engaged in dealer affairs, Ray?
I'm the line chair for Volvo and Saab, and the NADA Director from Massachusetts. I'm on a half a dozen NADA committees including the Charitable Foundation, Dealer Operations, and Government Relations, which has always been a favorite of mine, dealing with the bureaucrats and the elected officials in Washington.
How do you market the stores?
We do very little traditional advertising; we test it and it if it doesn't get much response we stop it. Most marketing we do is electronic, meaning digital marketing to drive leads into the dealerships, and at the moment we are doing a lot more with Facebook and Twitter.
Who are some of the vendors who've contributed to your success, Ray?
There are a number of them, probably starting with Reynolds and Reynolds, who I have been with for almost 50 years. We also use CallSource in a number of our stores. For processing leads and customer relationship marketing we use iMagicLab's CRM, and for online leads we use AutoTrader.com and Cars.com. We rely on auction services Manheim and ADESA, and for many F&I products, Zurich Financial Services. CARFAX provides our vehicle history reports, and our key banks are Sovereign Bank and Wells Fargo.
Any final observations, Ray?
I'm very, very grateful. I have three daughters and a great wife, and all three families are involved in the business, so it makes me very proud.
One last question: When you went to buy that used car in '63, and walked away owning the dealership, what car did you end up buying?
I went in to buy a used Volkswagen. I told the salesman I wanted something that gets good gas mileage and is small, because I live in Boston where it's hard to drive and park. I came out owning a Lincoln Continental that got about four gas stations to the mile. I learned my lesson about sales: They don't necessarily go out with what they came in for.

Mapping Prejudice brings together a team of activists and scholars who want to show how the city's contemporary urban geography has been shaped by historic restrictions on property ownership. The team is using new digital technology to assemble the first-ever map of racial covenants ever created for an American city. They'll show us the hidden history of race in Minneapolis, why we should care about these historic policies and how we can help with this important research project. Speakers include Kevin Ehrman-Solberg, an MGIS student in the Geography, Environment and Society department at the U of M who's also project manager for Mapping Prejudice and a graduate assistant at the Borchert Map Library; Penny Petersen, author of two books of Minneapolis history and an expert in historic property research; and Kirsten Delegard, a scholar-in-residence in the history department at Augsburg College and founder of the Historyapolis Project, which seeks to bring new attention to the often-troubled past of her hometown, Minneapolis.

First, let's start out the week with a Crocs cartoon. Are they shoe or sandal… or just plain wrong?
And for Our Blog today, I am posting a story of kindness. There's something about this that just grabs me when I read it, and I thought it would be a good Monday reminder. Hard to credit it, but I have seen this story in several positive thinking books:
In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. The waitress put a glass of water in front of him.
"How much is an ice cream sundae?"
"50 cents," replied the waitress.
The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins that he had just removed from his pocket.
"How much is a dish of plain ice cream?" he then asked.
There were several people now waiting for a table, and the waitress was growing impatient as she waited for the boy to order.
"35 cents," she said brusquely.
The little boy again counted the coins. "I'll have the plain ice cream," he said.
The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished his ice cream, paid the cashier and the left.
When the waitress came back, she began wiping down the table. Then, she swallowed hard as she looked down at the table.
There, placed neatly beside the empty dish… 15 cents – her tip.
And finally, our pic o' day:

WASHINGTON -- President Clinton, decrying the "crazy" way guns have been permitted to proliferate in the United States, has declared that he is prepared to challenge the powerful National Rifle Association lobby and introduce major new gun control measures.
The American people "are way ahead of Congress" on the gun control issue, Mr. Clinton said in extraordinarily candid and at times heated remarks made in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine. Gun violence has created enough public concern to support a ban on certain kinds of guns and "a lot of other reasonable regulations."
White House aides said yesterday that the president will introduce major gun control measures early next year, but that he believes the time is not ripe to seek a handgun ban.

In 1770, Capt. James Cook claimed possession of the eastern coast of Australia, which he and his men had been the first Europeans to sight, in the name of George III. The actual process of colonization began about 18 years later, when a fleet of 11 British ships sailed into what was soon to be called Sydney Harbor. On board, along with the crews, were 736 convicts (188 of them women) and the marines who had been sent to guard them.
Whatever the harsh facts, most colonies have been founded to the accompaniment of a seductive myth, of predictions that they would turn out to be Eden or El Dorado. Australia, by contrast, was born under a dark star. Despite the various economic and strategic arguments that were put forward, it was penal policy that proved decisive when it came to following up Cook`s claim. The new settlement was conceived of as a dumping ground for criminals -- a replacement, in this respect, for the lost American colonies.
Over the next 80 years more than 160,000 convicts were to be shipped out. Eventually, by the time of the first official census in the colony, in 1828, prisoners were outnumbered by free settlers; but even at that stage almost half the free population were ``emancipists,`` former convicts who had completed their sentences and stayed on.
Meanwhile, the influx of new convicts was on the increase. It reached its peak in the early 1830s, and although transportation to New South Wales came to an end in 1840, prisoners continued to be sent to Van Diemen`s Land until 1853 (after which the island`s all-too-notorious name was promptly changed to Tasmania). In its final phase the system even acquired a fresh outlet in Western Australia, which received its first convict transport in 1850 and its last in 1868.

"Chanting is a way of getting in touch with yourself. It's an opening of the heart and letting go of the mind and thoughts. It deepens the channel of grace, and it's a way of being present in the moment." -Krishna Das
Kirtan @ Shakti - Tuesday evening, March 19 from 7-8
What is Kirtan?
Kirtan is part of an ancient form of Yoga known as Bhakti, or the Yoga of Devotion. But in Bhakti we redefine "devotion", we expand the meaning to include every shade of color in the palette of human emotion, turned towards God through song, dance, and worship. These chants have been sung for millennium by sages, sinners, devotees, and the great primordial yogi alchemists of old. And, as we sing, we touch the spirits of the millions of people across the centuries who have sung the same songs and cried the same tears. As we sing, we immerse ourselves in an endless river of prayer that has been flowing since the birth of the first human beings, longing to know their creator.
Kirtan is a vessel that can hold love, longing, union, separation, lust, despair, mourning, anger, hate, sadness, ecstasy, and oneness. Powered by the fire of these emotions, the chants of Bhakti become like a ship, singing us to the other shore. In lightness, in darkness, in despair, in joy we sing the names — The Name — and turn our human hearts toward the One, who is closer to us than our own breath. Kirtan is food for the spirit, a life raft of song.
Kirtan is for all people. There are no masters of kirtan, no experts, no teachers, no advanced students, no beginners. The practice itself is the teacher, guiding us to ourselves. Kirtan teaches itself by allowing us to enter into a mystery world — a world where all the logic of our minds, all the conditioning and learning are left outside — and we allow ourselves to expand into the mystery. And in this mystery, we create a temple inside of our hearts, a place of refuge, a place of love, a place of being, a place of sanctity… whatever we need.
There is no right or wrong way to sing kirtan. Kirtan can be breathtakingly beautiful, the music can be stunning and masterful; and it can be cacophonous, dissonant, and almost painful to the ears. Aesthetics don't matter. All that matters is the spirit, the feeling. Don't worry about what you sound like, feel whatever you feel, have no expectations, no inhibitions. Kirtan is an oil well digging deeper and deeper into the heart. A power tool of love and longing. A train carrying us home.
Make these kirtans your own prayers and use their power to set fire to your own soul. We sing together and each person has a totally unique, individual experience. Yet by singing together we give strength, safety and passion to each other, and give ourselves permission to sing and dance freely, releasing and expressing through our voices and bodies, the emotions tightly locked in our hearts. The pain of separation is one with the bliss of union.
And finally kirtan is an offering, a gift to the great One who has given us everything, and to whom we can give nothing in return but our loving remembrance.- Jai Uttal

"Arna Rennan and Georganne Hunter"
On the Old Northshore Road by Lake Superior lives a fisherman named Steve Dahl together with his wife, harpist Georganne Hunter. Being a very handy fellow, he began making harps for Georganne to use. With a growing urge to look more closely into his Norwegian heritage, Steve traveled to Gjovik, Norway to learn the art of making the "langeleik". The langeleik is the Scandinavian version of the mountain dulcimer, differing in that it has one melody string and seven drones. It is among the oldest instruments in Norway, preceeding the fiddle by several hundred years and has survived with a living tradition in Valdres, Norway since the middle ages.
Arna Rennan, a neighbor and lover of all things Norwegian, was Steve's first customer for the langeleik. She had the good fortune of learning some basic techniques and melodies from Ronnaug Haave, one of the members of the Gjovik Spelmanslag. Together with Georganne, the two ladies have been getting together regularly to play. The word "leik" means "to play" and is another word for "dance tune". They have developed their own arrangements to traditional melodies, combining at times a harp with the langeleik. The pleasure they experience while playing ranges from a calming effect to exhiliration from the vibrations of the instrument and the melodies that come to life.
Georganne Hunter is an accomplished harpist and founding member of the Celtic group, Willowgreen. She has released two CD's with traditional Celtic and Nordic music along with her original compositions. She teaches harp, hammer dulcimer and piano from her home and is involved in numerous venues locally and far beyond. Her maternal grandmother was from the Shetland Islands, so her interest in both Celtic and Nordic music comes quite naturally to her.
Arna Rennan learned Norwegian folk music from her mother from Trondelag, Norway. After high school, she lived primarily in Oslo, Norway to study art. She was exposed to traditional folk music in Gudbrandsdalen during her summers working at a mountain hotel. She has studied at the Folk Music Institute in Rauland, Telemark with vocal folk music as her focus, with special interest in midieval ballads. Agnes Buesn Garnaas, Ragnhild Furholt, and Frode Nyvold were her instructors. She also learned to play the "selfjefloyte", overtone flute, from Anon Egeland. Arna has released a CD called, Nordic Shores and also performs with her group "Nordic Angst".

At About Face Anti-Aging Institute, we offer multiple treatment options to smooth visible signs of aging, including Radiesse® and other dermal fillers. Radiesse® not only provides an immediate lift to volume-deficient areas of the face, but it also promotes your body's own collagen growth to provide continuous improvements over time.
Located in Harker Heights and serving the Central Texas Region, About Face Anti-Aging Institute is led by Mr. Jeff Garberich, PA-C. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and discover the benefits of Radiesse® for immediate and lasting skin rejuvenation.
What Causes Visible Signs of Aging?
Collagen and elastin, two of the most essential building blocks of the skin, decrease in production as the skin ages. This leads to visible lines, wrinkles, and creases around the nose and mouth, which can cause you to look older than you actually are. For men and women who wish to correct these cosmetic concerns without surgery or downtime, dermal fillers such as Radiesse® can be an ideal solution.
What is Radiesse®?
Radiesse® is a unique formulation of calcium microspheres in a gel carrier that benefits the skin in two ways:
- Providing immediate plump to volume-deficient areas
- Creating a protective matrix around your skin's natural collagen production, promoting gradual, subtle changes that continue after the filler has been absorbed by your body.
This dermal filler is injected into strategic points around the nose and mouth with a fine needle. It is indicated for moderate to severe lines, such as the nasolabial folds that run from your nose to the corners of your mouth. During your consultation with our Mr. Garberich, we will evaluate your individual condition and discuss your treatment options.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Our injectable treatments may result in slight bruising, swelling, redness, or itching at injection sites, but these are temporary and typically subside after about 24 hours. Radiesse® typically does not have any complications for patients who qualify, and any other additional safety information that may apply to you will be discussed during your consultation.
Multiple sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal results, and we will create a customized treatment plan for you to maximize your desired aesthetic.
What does it cost?
The cost is $675 per syringe.
Do you offer any payment plans?
We offer a financing solution through Advance Care and Care Credit. We will be happy to review the requirements and help you with the application process either over the phone or during your consultation. You can also apply online or call Advance Care or Care Credit at your own convenience.
Know Your Provider
It is very important to understand who will be administering your procedure. Mr. Jeff Garberich, PA-C is double Radiesse certified for the face and hands by Merz, the maker of Radiesse, and has received advanced training at the largest medical aesthetic training institute in the world. He is also an instructor at the Injectable Academy at The Texas Laser Institute.
Contact About Face Anti-Aging Institute today to schedule a consultation and find out more information about Radiesse® and our other dermal filler options.

The first ever upstairsdownstairs song of the week!
I love this song. I love the tempo, the singers voices; all of it. I want freedom, too. They tell me I'm free. But I don't feel free. Am I alone? I don't think so.
"Freedom" : Anthony Hamilton from Django Unchained
(with Elayna Boynton). Here are the Lyrics.

Born in Memphis Tennessee not far from the muddy Mississippi river, singer/guitarist Jojo Rainwater has an authentic Southern American sound best described as toe-tapping blues.
Jojo is proud to be launching his latest album, Legends of Black Rock Mountain at the Old Castlemaine Gaol on Friday, May 12th at 8pm. In it, he carefully weaves tales of the old south into rootsy, bluesy, folk, gospel music, as well as songs with gutsy rhythms and indigenous undertones.
Inspired by the stories of his grandma who picked cotton as a little girl in the hot Mississippi summer sun, and a grandpa who hopped trains during the great depression, it was his great-grandmother who inspired his stage name - from the Ozark mountains in Arkansas, she was a 'Rainwater', a Cherokee.
The lyrics of his latest album are deeply contemplative of life, death, judgement and ultimately redemption with each song similar to an old movie soundtrack visually leading you to the next scene.
Supporting Jojo on the night is goldfields quartet, Rex and the Hapless Brakeman, featuring some of Central Victoria's most experienced players of acoustic guitar, drums, mandolin/banjo/electric guitar and double bass performing what can only be classed as high-steppin' alternative country.

What Are Your All-Time Favorite xoVain Articles?
It's gonna get sappy up in here.
I've talked up and down this goddamn website about scent and memory, and how the two are so closely tied. I romanticize scents all the time because I think they're a really beautiful thing. I love that you can feel tied to a certain time in your life simply by the way you smelled then or the way someone you loved smelled. At the same time, I'm the guy who can barely read a text I sent last week, or reference an email from a year ago. The past freaks me out. Looking back just a couple of years gives me enough anxiety, but thinking back to when I was *shudder* a teen…
NOPE. Count me the fuck out. I'll let my parents hold on to those agonizingly embarrassing memories while I stand by the illusion that I appeared, fully-formed, at the age of twenty-four, with my act sort of together.
That's why the piece of beauty news that you're all losing your minds over is the same one that strikes fear into my cold, rhinestoned heart:
Bath & Body Works is reissuing eight of your favorite scents from the '90s.
I'm kidding, of course. I know a bunch of you are stoked, and I completely see why! A lot of us grew up with these scents and created a bond with them in our formative years, only to have them taken away from us. Personally, I could never approach a bottle of Sweet Pea or whatever the hell, in the same way I can't smell Burberry Touch without having a full blown panic attack. But that's me. If you're into that kind of nostalgia, then getting your hands on your favorite rerelease is going to be exciting! Hell, maybe by now, you've got a kid of your own who you'd want to share your old favorite scent with! That would be kind of cute.
Not me, though! The minute I adopt a mini-me, I'm gonna throw a bottle of Frédéric Malle at them and send them to their first day of kindergarten, having neglected to buy them any school supplies. At least they'll smell better than all the other kids.
The scents that are being brought back are Peony, Country Apple, Freesia, Brown Sugar & Fig, Mango Mandarin, Cotton Blossom, Sun-Ripened Raspberry, and Cucumber Melon, of course.
They will be available in body lotion, body cream, and fragrance mist, so you can really layer it up and catch the eye of your crush in study hall.
Bath & Body Works scents were one of my first introductions to fragrances, aside from the perfumes that my mom wore. I remember being in, I don't know, fourth grade, and all the girls had their favorite Bath & Body Works lotion in their backpacks, and I thought it was so cool and luxurious, how they'd re-apply between classes, at lunch, and at recess.
"They have soft skin AND smell great," I thought to myself. I just wanted to be a cool girl that smelled good. I still do.
When I got my hands on my first Bath & Body Works fragrance of my very own (OH MY GOD, this is so embarrassing, why am I telling you guys this?) it was, unsurprisingly, Warm Vanilla Sugar.
I stood in my bedroom, surrounded by posters of NSYNC and Britney Spears, and slathered it on. I wasn't exactly sure what "vanilla sugar" actually was, I'm still not, but all I have ever wanted is to smell like candy. In fact, the new fragrance I'm wearing as I type this has notes of macaroon and cotton candy in it, so not much has changed.
I was always fascinated by Cucumber Melon, too. A vegetable being worked into a scent really blew my mind. Listen, I was in, like, sixth grade, okay? I didn't take much to impress me.
That scent, at least when I was in middle school, was the one that all the girls wore. We were all strutting around smelling like cantaloupes, raspberries, and, cucumbers, I guess. I think the lotions made us feel like adults. We were all getting ready to start high school and doing all the weird and terrifying shit that you do in middle school that makes you feel like an adult, and we all felt like these Bath & Body Works scents were sending us careening into adulthood. I think the small line of scents gave us this feeling of individuality, too, even though we were all wearing the exact same things.
Then, during my freshmen year of high school AXE Body Spray was released, and I watched all of the guys in my grade have the exact same experience with Axe scents as the girls did in middle school with their Bath & Body Works lotions.
(For the record: I never.)
Walking into the locker room after gym class, when all the guys were spraying their body spray in unison, felt like walking through a dense, wet fog of cheap, awful smelling young men. Actually, that's exactly what it was. I never used an Axe product because, as it turns out, I do have a tiny bit of self respect. But, I still peek in to Bath & Body Works every time I pass one. The packaging is new, the scents are new, but they're smart enough to stick with what works, and what we grew up loving.
What was your favorite Bath & Body Works scent growing up? Tell me in the comments! This is so embarrassing!

If you thought it was peace out to pasta the minute you went paleo, we've got a pretty cool surprise. And if pasta is what's keeping you from jumping on the paleo bandwagon in the first place, you'll want to read on because the surprise applies to you too. Here's the deal: there are some awesome paleo-friendly alternatives that can satisfy even the biggest pasta craving AND provide valuable nutrition. Score!
Spaghetti Squash
We love this one because it's super easy. Just slice it horizontally, scoop out the seedy part, season it as you like, and bake it in the oven. No need to go fancy here. A little olive oil and some seasoned salt makes for a whole lot of yumminess. After the squash has cooled off, scrape out the insides with a fork. The strands naturally fall out in a spaghetti-like shape.
Zoodles are zucchini noodles. They're more like pasta as far as the actual length of each "noodle" goes, but the downside is that they're easy to overcook because they're naturally watery. Blanch them for a minute or two and that's it! If that's not your thing though, you can totally eat zoodles raw. They're available at a lot of stores fully prepped in the produce section, or you can make the zoodles yourself using a spiralizer.
Sweet Potato Pasta
Sweet potatoes are especially cool because they're super solid and versatile. That means more options for types of "pasta." Try cutting a large sweet potato horizontally into long slices to use as a base for paleo lasagna. Vegan "nut cheese" replaces ricotta, but you can bulk the dish up with traditional spinach and chopped meat. So delish!

In late April, the New York Daily News reported that Trent Dilfer and ESPN were expected to file for divorce from one another. Issues over money were said to divide the two parties.
But, time heals all wounds, and now two months later, the worldwide leader in sports, and one of its best NFL analysts have come to terms on a new agreement which will keep the former NFL Quarterback involved in the network's NFL coverage, and expand his role into the Sunday NFL Countdown program.
Dilfer told TheMMQB.com that reports of his departure from ESPN were untrue. He added that he's been under contract, and will be next year as well, in fact, expanding his role to include contributions to Monday Night Countdown and Sunday NFL Countdown.
Neither side had denied the reports that a split was inevitable over the past two months, which indicates that there was smoke to the fire that the New York Daily News had been investigating. In the end though, a deal was secured.

Cigarette Lighter Mishap Results In Severe Burns To Nursing Home Patient
Mr. Ellis's photo appears on wdsu.com
Officials are investigating the circumstances surrounding the severe burns sustained by a 77-year-old nursing home patient in New Orleans. The man sustained burns to 80% of his body when his bed caught fire following the Super Bowel. The man identified as Hubert Ellis, was a non-smoker, yet fire investigators found two cigarette lighters in his bed that they believe started the fire.
It is unclear if the smoke detector in Mr. Ellis's room was operating properly at the time of the incident. Similarly, the nursing home's response to the incident is under investigation as well.
In either respect, why did this nursing home patient have cigarette lighters in his bed? Many nursing homes have strict smoking policies that require lighters to be kept under the guard of nursing home staff– to avoid incident's such as this.

Come away by yourselves to a lonely place, and rest awhile. – Mark 6:30
I'm tired. Today if you call me I'm not in. If you look for me I can't be found. I'm giving myself a break. It all came to a head today on the racquetball court. I went there to unwind after a particularly stressful weekend that included bad weather, a sick child, too many social responsibilities, and too much work. On top of my weekend I now realize that my racquetball game has come to a crisis point. I've either got to play more often or quit altogether. It's not that I'm no good at the game, although today I won't rule that out completely. But then I can't be totally bad either, as I've been playing semi-regularly for many years, and have worn out several pairs of shoes, numerous gloves, and dozens of racquetballs. The basic problem is I'm tired of losing. Last week I lost 21 to 3 and my opponent in all appearance didn't even break a sweat. I suggested we switch to a 15-point game so the point spread wouldn't be so psychologically devastating to me. That just meant that he beat me more quickly and more often.
For a while I tried running to reduce stress. It was too embarrassing. Once two older women with beauty shop blue hair-dos passed me up. While I was gasping for air they effortlessly jogged by laughing, joking and talking about their singles bowling team. After that I was passed up by a three-legged dog. I may never run again!
Obviously I need a new approach to stress management. It's not that I'm giving up sports altogether, but today I'm just going to go home and recoup. Sometimes I need to back away from the office, leave my athletic friends, withdraw from my family and do something just for me. Today is that day. It's not that I'm tired of everything. I'm just overly tired of some things.
So I'm going home and turn down the air conditioner because I'm tired of saving energy. I'm going to fix myself a large coke because I'm tired of cutting down on sugar. I'm going to fix a bowl of popcorn with salt because I'm tired of watching my salt intake. And, finally, I'm going to turn on the TV and watch an old western or a Wolfman meets Godzilla movie, because I'm tired of thinking too.
I believe we all need to sometimes give ourselves permission to relax and frivolously do something just for us. Even Jesus felt the need to go out occasionally and be alone (Mark 6:30). I'm sure you have those days too and at times need to escape just to take a break. Well, today is my day, because I'm just tired.
Prayer: I seem to run through life breathless Lord. Forgive me when I don't take time to renew my spirit.

Golden Lotus (Orlando, FL)
One of the few places you can get dim sum (outside of downtown). It's an authentic Chinese restaurant with above average dim sum. I don't know the names of everything (I've only been here with my mom and she always orders for me), but the eggplant dish is really good here. Also the shrimp balls with the crazy crunchy spikes are really good. It's really cheap and I've never had a problem getting a table here. Also, its usually only Chinese people eating here so you know its good.

Oh My, one of our own has gotten herself into a dither. This is something deep frying, gobs of butter and calories can't fix, or can it? As it stands now, she has been skewered in the media, sauteed, slow roasted and deep fried. Our sympathies. One of our sheep did something similar a while back and we had to totally send her into therapy.
The things we do in our past come back to haunt us, especially if it is something that pertains to others, or in this case sheep. Bertha got herself into a bind not long ago when she used the "C" word in a deposition. Nobody used that word and comes out unscratched. Apparently back in her youth, she got into a scuffle with a feline who managed to get a piece of her fur. Bertha being the wild woman she is, faught back, bipped this beast on its tail and called it the "C" word. Apparently, they don't like to be referred in that manner and prefer the word FELINE.
Now she cannot go near them without one hissing or pointing at her. Bertha might as well wear the scarlet letter on her bum and boobs. She was once a fan of them, helping them catch rodents, or chasing large dogs that were after them. Now, she can't even get one to sit in her lap. The Horror.
Time heals all wounds, and at some point, she will be able to swath this in butter, deep fry it, sautee it, stuff it and put in in the oven.
Its a shame people make comments in the heat of the moment, but it happens, sheep are not immune as Bertha has shown us. The best advice sheep can give is to let sleeping cats lie, go back to another avenue and try again. It might take time, but you could be surprised how well you are recieved.
Sheep have found there will always be someone out to get us, and the best revenge is to use humor, lots of butter, sugar and that thing we call whimsy to calm the rough waters. People cannot stay mad forever and the backlash is ususally worse for them then for us.
Sheep become titanium. What has not harmed us and trust us, getting fixed was no treat, cures us, makes us wiser, funnier and stronger. If sheep can over come the "C" word, surely Paula can over come her faux pas.
Here is to hoping.

Punahou School sophomore Nicholas Amador placed 3rd in the National Poetry Out Loud Competition in Washington, DC, on Wednesday, May 4, 2016. Nicholas recited "Fishing on the Susquehanna" by Billy Collins, "When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer" by Walt Whitman, and "Thoughtless Cruelty" by Charles Lamb. The Hawai'i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts congratulates Nicholas and his teacher and coach Lara Cowell on this prestigious achievement.
This is the second time a Hawai'i student has placed in the top three nationally. Former Mid-Pacific Institute student Kellie Anae, who took third place nationally in 2006, now helps to coach young students. The competition helped her earn a scholarship to Louisiana State University. Anae says "this event helps young voices come alive through poetry."
NEA Chairman Jane Chu attended the Poetry Out Loud Hawai'i State Finals on February 21, 2016, held at Tenney Theatre. Chairman Chu hand-delivered a personal letter from President Barack Obama to Nicholas Amador after the National Finals.
Students and schools received $50,000 in awards and school stipends at the National Finals, including $20,000 for the Poetry Out Loud National Champion, and $10,000 and $5,000 for the second- and third-place finalists. The fourth- to ninth-place finalists each received $1,000. The schools of the top nine finalists received $500 for the purchase of poetry books.

Many of my contemporaries are at a crossroads in their lives. Their children are either out of the house or are older and not looking for Mom anymore.
Not looking for MOM anymore?? What? This is a problem that so many around my age are facing.
There was a period of time where my own role as a Mom had suddenly been minimized, and not because my children were old enough to live on their own. It was because they chose to live at their father's. Not sure how this feels when it happens to Dads, but it's a pretty swift kick in the gut for a Mom. Kids are supposed to choose to live with their Moms, right? I was dealing with hurt and sadness, not to mention a very serious blow to my ego.
I am happy to report I've overcome the frustration and negative feelings and gained traction and fabulous forward-momentum in my own life.
Would you like to know how?
The single best thing I ever did to help over this hurdle was to identify some personal goals. Yep. Just set up some goals. Sound hard? It can be if you try to be too perfect about it. Let me share with you how I went about identifying my personal goals.
It started with a list of things I wanted to do. While I was in a good mood, after having exercised and had high energy, I took 5 minutes and wrote down everything I wanted to do. I came up with 10 things that would give me joy. It wasn't about making sure the list made sense or was feasible, it wasn't about making sure everything on the list seemed achievable. It just consisted of the first things that popped into my head that would bring me joy.
I looked at this list every day. The list didn't mean much at first but after a while I started to memorize it. I started to think about it, and then started to think about actionable ways to achieve the items on it. I would bring up some of the items in casual conversation with friends, and listened to their perspectives and ideas. In the morning when I'd work on my SAVERS routine I'd read books that would steer me in the direction of fulfilling some of these goals.
Here is the list that I created:
- Help others be happy
- Help others find peace
- Help others succeed
- I want to travel
- Help others beat depression and anxiety
- Make a meaningful difference in the lives of women like me and show them where their strength lies
- Show other women how to love themselves for who and what they are
- Strive to become the best version of myself every day
That's it. There was no rhyme or reason to it. But the more I looked at that list the more focused I became on those things. Next thing I know I am writing this blog and am doing my first paid speaking engagement. What we focus on is what manifests itself in our lives.
The next step is to make these more specific and put them into actionable chunks. For me I had no idea what to do next, so I did research. After researching I narrowed my actions down to this blog. It took me about two months to figure out what to do with the list. I am not sure where it will go from here, but for now it brings me purpose, passion and happiness.
Every morning when I wake up I am so excited for the day ahead and can't wait for the next step in my journey. My goals have now manifested into a passionate mission in life! I don't think there is anything that can get you more jazzed than a purpose driven life. I know this because I live it. Not sure where it will go, but if you told me a year ago that I'd be working on a blog, I wouldn't have believed it.
Why not start a list of your own? You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
