Several of us have had the "are games art" argument, but now the greatest art institution in the world steps in to rule in video games favor. The Smithsonian Art Museum will host "Art of Video Games" in 2012, running for six months. Although it won't take place in the actual Smithsonian, the American Art Museum is nearly as prestigious.
The reason why I put this in modern gaming as opposed to classic gaming was because the press release stated that the exhibit would showcase game art from the Atari VCS to the Playstation 3. Plus, the last two and current generation(in my opinion) have done more for the "are games art" argument than any other time frame.
I have a feeling that Mr. Ebert might sit this one out. Discuss your opinion about this upcoming groundbreaking exhibit that will showcase one of our favorite hobbies.

We might not think about them much, but humble little nutrients can make a big impact on our health. Following a healthy diet is a huge first step. But sometimes we need to do a little tweaking to get the nutrients we need to really thrive.
So let's run down the most common nutrient deficiencies around. You'll learn the tell-tale signs and exactly what to do to avoid them and get back on track.
Why You Can Eat Healthy and Still End Up Nutrient Deficient
Even if you eat a healthy Paleo diet, you can still end up with nutrient deficiencies.
Getting your diet on point will take you a long way. But it's not the only thing that affects your nutrient intake and your body's ability to absorb them.
Some things, despite our best intentions, are outside our control.
Soil quality is a major issue. After decades of intense agricultural methods, most soil today is less nutrient-dense than it used to be (1). When buying groceries, you also have to think about transport, storage time, and processing. All of that can further degrade the nutrients that end up on your plate.
Other factors can affect your ability to absorb nutrients as well. Did you know that for many nutrients, the older you get, the more susceptible you are for deficiency? It's true (2). Lifestyle and other health conditions (like digestive problems) can limit your ability to absorb the nutrients you need.
Good news: there are plenty of solutions available!
The Most Common Nutrient Deficiencies
While it's technically possible to be lacking in any nutrient, some deficiencies are much more common than others. The list below focuses on those culprits – even if you're following a healthy Paleo diet.
We'll touch on why each nutrient is so important. Then we'll dive into deficiency symptoms and which foods can fix them. Once you know how to spot the warning signs, it's simply a matter of making a few tweaks to get the nutrients you need.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D deficiency is extremely common. Over one billion people around the world aren't getting enough (3). Despite this epidemic, government health organizations have been reluctant to declare a health energy or warn the public.
Why It's Important
Vitamin D, also called the "Sun Vitamin," is a fat-soluble vitamin in a family of compounds that includes vitamins D-1, D-2, and D-3. It affects as many 200 genes in the body (4)!
Between 50 and 90 percent of the vitamin D in your blood is produced in response to sunlight exposure (5). Working indoors and hardly seeing the sun can lead to problems. Those with darker skin are at a greater risk because more pigmentation results in less vitamin D production (6). So are those over 50, who are more likely to become deficient as their skin thins and their intestines have a harder time absorbing the nutrient (7).
This vitamin plays a role in practically every aspect of your health. It's involved in regulating calcium absorption, maintaining a strong immune system, developing strong bones and teeth, and even fighting depression and promoting weight loss (8).
Symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency
- You have chronic fatigue. Researchers at Newcastle University found a link between vitamin D and mitochondrial activity within the cells. Increased intake improved muscle function and energy levels (9).
- You sweat excessively. This is one of the first signs doctors look out for in newborns, adults, and everyone in between. If your head sweats more than the rest of your body, that's a red flag of possible deficiency. Why this happens remains unclear; some researchers suggest "spinal sympathetic over-activity" (10).
- You feel depressed. The hormone serotonin, which affects your mood, increases with exposure to bright light. People with lower levels of vitamin D are multiple times more likely to be depressed than those who have healthy amounts (11).
Natural Sources of Vitamin D
- Sunlight. Making sure you get some sunlight exposure every day is the best step you can take to eliminate deficiency. Shoot for 15 to 20 minutes around noon without sunscreen. Uncover a good portion of your legs, arms, and/or back for maximum benefits.
- Fatty fish. Fatty fish like salmon, swordfish, tuna, and sardines are the best dietary sources of vitamin D you can eat (12).
- Beef liver. Another nutritional powerhouse.
- Eggs. The yolks in eggs also contain a decent amount of vitamin D.
Recommended Daily Amounts of Vitamin D
Plenty of questions remain as to just how much vitamin D we need for optimal health.
The Food and Nutrition Board set recommended daily allowances (RDAs) between 400 and 800 IUs daily. But these are strictly dietary allowances, and RDAs are the bare minimum we need to not experience adverse effects (13).
Just last year, researchers from UC San Diego and Creighton University challenged the guidelines, claiming that they underestimate the need for vitamin D by a factor of ten (14). These researchers support an RDA (again, a minimum amount) of around 7,000 IU/day from all sources.
Vitamin E
The Environmental Working Group reported that around 94 percent of American adults (over 18 years old) have dietary intakes below the average vitamin E requirement for that population (15). And although the data is more limited in developing countries, research there suggests the problem is significant in those areas as well (16).
Why It's Important
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role as an antioxidant – it prevents free radical damage. This results in reduced risk of heart disease, an improved metabolism and immune system, more stamina and vitality, and even protection against eye problems (like cataracts) (17).
Symptoms of Vitamin E Deficiency
- You get sick all the time. If you're eating well and sleeping enough, but still getting sick, you might be vitamin E deficient. Inadequate vitamin E can impair T-cell activity, an important part of your immune system (18).
- You're anemic. Believe it or not, vitamin E deficiency can cause a form of anemia that ruptures red blood cells (19). Multiple animal studies and human clinical trials found vitamin E effective in treating anemic patients (20).
- You have neurological issues. Severe vitamin E deficiency can lead to impaired coordination and balance, injury to the sensory nerves, and even damage to the retina of the eye (21).
Natural Sources of Vitamin E
Vitamin E is fat-soluble, which means it's absorbed in lipids. If you just eat a lot of vitamin E-rich foods without any fats, your body isn't able to absorb it properly. Fortunately, many vitamin E-rich foods are naturally fatty. Here are some of the best:
- Sunflower seeds. These are an awesome Paleo snack, and they're absolutely loaded with vitamin E. Just one ounce contains 37 percent of your recommended daily intake (22).
- Nuts. Almonds are the second-highest vitamin E source per serving, and hazelnuts are great as well.
- Leafy greens. Vitamin E-rich sources include spinach, Swiss chard, turnip greens, and mustard greens.
- Avocados
- Asparagus
Recommended Daily Amounts of Vitamin E
The National Institute of Health recommends 15 milligrams of vitamin E daily for everyone 14 and older, 15 milligrams for pregnant women, and 19 milligrams for women who are breastfeeding (23). With that said, multiple times that amount have been taken to treat specific health conditions without serious side effects. Talk to your doctor if you're considering doing the same.
Magnesium hasn't been studied as often as other minerals like calcium, but more recent research has revealed just how important it is for our health.
Unfortunately, a study published in the journal Nutrition Review found that almost half of the U.S. population – 48 percent – consumed less than the required magnesium amount (24)! Chronically low magnesium intake has been linked to everything from type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis to asthma and metabolic syndrome.
Why It's Important
There's a good reason why magnesium is the fourth most common mineral in the body. You need it for more than 600 different biochemical reactions!
These reactions cover a huge range of essential processes, including protein synthesis, regulating muscle movements, converting food into energy (metabolism), regulating the heartbeat, and even creating and repairing genetic material (25).
Over half of the total magnesium is stored in our bones, while the rest is mostly located in cells of organs and tissue (26).
Symptoms of Magnesium Deficiency
- You have trouble sleeping. Magnesium is relaxing. Upping your intake has been shown to improve the sleep efficiency, time, and quality among insomniacs (27).
- You have muscle spasms and cramps. Because magnesium is closely connected with muscle control, a deficiency can cause tightness, pain, and spasms. Increasing your intake can help (28).
- You have high blood pressure and can't figure out why. If you have hypertension but feel like you're doing everything right, magnesium deficiency might be to blame. A meta-analysis of 20 studies found that increasing magnesium led to dose-dependent reductions in blood pressure (29).
- You feel anxious or depressed. More research needs to be done here, but some exciting studies have explored magnesium's potential to treat depression and alleviate stress (30).
Natural Sources of Magnesium
- Nuts. Nuts are some of the best Paleo magnesium sources around. Just one ounce of roasted almonds contains 20 percent of your recommended intake (31). Cashews are almost just as helpful.
- Spinach. Just half a cup of spinach contains around 20 percent of your recommended daily magnesium intake.
- Avocados
- Bananas
Recommended Daily Amounts of Magnesium
The National Institute of Health recommends around 300 milligrams of magnesium for adult women daily and around 400 milligrams for men (32). But remember: those are bare minimums. Dr. Carolyn Dean, MD, recommends more (around 700 milligrams a day) to better reflect the typical diets of our ancestors (33).
Calcium deficiency is a global public health issue. Only about half of American adults get enough calcium every day, and the percentages are even lower in countries like China (34, 35).
Why It's Important
Calcium is important for many different reasons. One that stands out right away is how it helps maintain strong teeth and bones. It can also help prevent obesity through the parathyroid hormone, as well as protect your heart muscles, prevent kidney stones, and even decrease blood pressure (36).
Many people drink milk for the calcium without realizing just how inflammatory and insulinogenic it is. Fortunately for us Paleos who avoid dairy products, we have better options.
Symptoms of Calcium Deficiency
- You have muscle aches and cramps. Without enough calcium, your nerves can become extremely sensitive to sodium, which causes them to fire too often and cause cramping and pain (37).
- You have poor bone density or osteoporosis. The calcium in bones acts as a reserve supply to meet the body's needs in cases of calcium deficiency. That explains why, if you're deficient long enough, you end up with brittle bones (38).
- You have tooth decay. Because teeth consist of mostly calcified tissue, giving them enough calcium is critical. Upping your calcium intake can actually decrease the demineralization of tooth enamel (39).
Natural Sources of Calcium
- Leafy green vegetables. The vast majority of our calcium intake on a dairy-free Paleo diet will come from spinach, kale, collard greens, turnip greens, Chinese cabbage (bok choy), and broccoli.
- Seafood. Canned seafood, like salmon and sardines, are other surprisingly good calcium sources. Just make sure to get the versions with the bones! Seaweed is another good option too.
- Water. If you like mineral water, you're in luck; it's a significant calcium source. Even a cup of tap water contains around 12 milligrams of calcium (40).
Recommended Daily Amounts of Calcium
The National Institute of Medicine (NIH) recommends at least 1,000 milligrams of calcium daily for anyone 18 and older (41). This increases to 1,200 milligrams for females over 50, and everyone over 70 years old. These guidelines, however, assume that we are only absorbing 300 to 400 milligrams of calcium. Dietary sources usually have much better absorption than supplements (42).
Iodine deficiency is one of the most common in the world, affecting about one in three of the global population (43). Some countries, including the United States, have been iodizing salt for decades to help avoid this issue (44). Iodine deficiency isn't nearly as common in western countries as in the rest of the world. But understanding this deficiency and how to prevent it is still important for Paleo dieters.
Why It's Important
Iodine is most commonly known to promote a healthy thyroid because it helps produce key hormones responsible for controlling the body's base metabolic rate. It also stabilizes energy levels by helping the body use calories efficiently, forms healthy nails, hair, and teeth, and strengthens the immune system, among many other things (45).
Symptoms of Iodine Deficiency
- You feel anxious or depressed. When the thyroid doesn't get enough iodine, hormones are disrupted, and that can cause depression, anxiety, and other emotional issues.
- You have thyroid problems. Feelings of fatigue and sluggishness, sudden weight gain, dry skin, hair loss, and constipation are the hallmarks of hypothyroidism. The domino effect could all start with insufficient iodine levels (46).
- Goiter. If the iodine deficiency is severe, the thyroid gets progressively larger and you end up with a swollen neck. This can lead to trouble breathing.
Natural Sources of Iodine
- Seaweed. There's a reason why the Japanese iodine intake is among the highest in the world (47). Just a single gram contains up to 1,989 percent of your recommended daily intake! (48)
- Seafood. Cod, shrimp, and tuna are all great choices to up your iodine intake.
- Eggs. Just one egg contains 16 percent of the daily recommended amount.
- Iodized salt. It only takes about half a teaspoon of iodized salt to reach your recommended daily amount. Remember, moderation is key here.
Recommended Daily Amounts of Iodine
The National Institute of Health recommends 150 micrograms a day of iodine for anyone over the age of 18. This increases to 250 micrograms for women who are pregnant (49). Some alternative health practitioners recommend several times this amount, but most of us don't need to worry about drastically upping our iodine intake. Iodine supplements might be warranted if you have a thyroid issue, but talk to your doctor first!
Get the Nutrients You Need to Thrive
Following a healthy Paleo diet minimizes your risk of nutrient deficiencies. But some of us might need to make a few tweaks to get everything dialed in just right.
Watch out for the warning signs above, especially if you fall within high-risk groups. Some symptoms might seem subtle, especially if you've lived with them for years. Visit your doctor and get tested if you have any doubts.

C25K Week 7/
I know that I'm a better runner than I was at week 1 because I couldn't run at all before then without limping and puffing, but it all still seems such an effort. But......every run this week was 25 minutes and I did it. Whoop, Whoop. Whenever I'm heading into the wind and up a hill (read slight incline when I say hill), I force myself to look at and appreciate the buttercups and the way that grass flowers are making swathes of red across the yellow. It makes me smile and forget the pain. For a nano second.......but it helps.
When I finished my run I had a wander into the next field with my camera, partly to check out an extension to my running track and to well, nose around. As you can see, it's all very picturesque, with a sneaky view of our barns through the wood.

Nuclear energy has
played a vital role in the study of our solar
system. Radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs),
which convert heat produced from radioactive decay
into electricity, are used to power our space
crafts. The Pioneer, Voyager, Galileo, and Ulysses
missions have required the use of RTGs for
electrical power. Ulysses, which was launched in
1990 to study the sun, uses electricity produced by
a single RTG to power all its equipment and
instruments. Plutonium-238, the radioisotope used
in the RTG, has an 87.7 year half-life, which
allows missions to last many years. The Ulysses
mission is scheduled to last until 2008.

Brewer LED Streetlight Conversion Project
In 2017, the City initiated a study to investigate whether or not newly passed legislation enabling municipalities to take over ownership and maintenance responsibilities for street lights would benefit the City of Brewer. Currently, most of the City's street lights are owned by the power utility (Emera Maine) and rented to the City for a monthly fee per fixture that includes all costs associated with installing, operating and maintaining the fixtures. By purchasing the existing lights and replacing them with new, city-owned & maintained state of the art LED fixtures, we are projecting that our monthly costs can be reduced by as much as 80 -85%, saving the City over $100,000 per year. The decision to proceed was pretty much a "no-brainer". Below are answers to some of the more frequently asked questions that we hope shed some light (pun intended) on this exciting project, which will be completed in the spring of 2018.
Click here to see the progress made by the installation crew:Brewer Street Light Install Report 5
Frequently Asked Questions
- What kind of streetlights does Brewer currently use?
The majority of streetlights currently used in Brewer are High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lights. While HPS is one of the most common streetlight technologies across the country, it has several drawbacks. HPS streetlights are not very energy efficient, cast an orange light under which it is difficult to see color, and tend to produce light that is not of optimal quality.
- What are LED streetlights?
Light Emitting Diodes (LED) are a technology that has been used in solid state lighting for decades. More recently, LED technology has advanced to streetlight applications. LED streetlights are extremely energy efficient, have long life spans, and produce a better color and quality of light than typical High Pressure Sodium (HPS) streetlights.
- What color of light are LED streetlight fixtures?
Contrary to the orange light that High Pressure Sodium (HPS) fixtures produce, LED streetlight fixtures are a cooler, white light under which it is easier to see true colors. HPS lights have a color temperature of 2,200 Kelvin while Brewer's new LED lights will have a color temperature of 3,000 Kelvin.
- Why do the new LED fixtures appear to be dimmer?
Although the new LED fixtures produce a different looking light than the HPS fixtures they replaced, they are not actually dimmer. HPS fixtures tend to produce a bright spot directly underneath the fixture, whereas LEDs create a more even pool of light across the ground or roadway.
- Why is Brewer doing an LED streetlight conversion project?
Brewer is interested in reducing its energy consumption and maintenance costs associated with street lighting. Installing LED streetlight fixtures will save energy, require less maintenance, and will provide citizens with better light quality on streets and roadways.
- How many streetlights is Brewer replacing with the LED streetlight conversion project?
This project will replace approximately 900 streetlights throughout Brewer, most of which are standard streetlights (called "cobra heads".)
- How much will Brewer likely save when it upgrades to LED streetlight fixtures?
The project is expected to save Brewer approximately 280,000 kilowatt hours and over $110,000 in energy costs in the first year after the project is implemented.
- How long will the project last?
The installation is scheduled to begin on April 23rd and will run through the end of May.
- What are the benefits of the LED streetlight fixture project?
The benefits of this project in Brewer include:
- Reduced energy consumption resulting in energy cost savings and decreased greenhouse gas emissions.
- Reduced maintenance costs.
- Better visible light for Brewer's citizens.
- What is Brewer doing with all of the streetlights it is removing?
The existing High Pressure Sodium (HPS) streetlights will be recycled in accordance with all federal and state environmental guidelines.
- Who is the contact for additional questions about the LED streetlight conversion project?
For more information about the LED Streetlight Conversion project, please contact Frank Higgins, City Engineer, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Playing Defense
Rationalizing away challenges to completing a trip is a classic defense mechanism, often bringing poor results.
Unless our flights purpose is training or flying for recreation, were usually trying to get somewhere for a reason. Were on a mission, so to speak, and have the goal of getting from Point A to Point B as quickly and efficiently as possible. Unfortunately, we sometimes omit "as safely as possible" from that list. Its human nature to have a goal for most of our activities, something pilots often express in the form or a flight plan. Events, conditions or fate can conspire against our ability to meet those goals, however. Examples include mechanical, physiological or meteorological obstacles.

I've been on the hunt for a vintage Bernina 830 ever since I stumbled upon one for $15 in a local resale shop. That one had unfortunately been dropped and was not going to run smoothly, no matter the cleaning it endured. However, in a spontaneous Craigslist search, I stumbled upon another one that was left over from an estate sale near my home with all of the attachments, a table, and its classic red case. Score!
My family offered to purchase it for me as a graduation gift, so my aunt and I drove out to pick it up in Troy. It's previous owner, Gracie, had kept it in immaculate condition until she'd moved to a rest home, so all it needed was a good clean to get the solidified grease moving again. Now it's my new machine!
As in all transitions, I am uneasy with the newness of the situation (I'm not much for change) but I think it will be lovely. This Bernina already sews better with its walking foot than my Brother, handsome even stitches as long as I don't floor it, and to be honest, reliable straight-line quilting is probably one of the things I value most in a machine. I look forward to getting to know my new baby more in the coming weeks and going on some crazy sewing adventures together! Yippee!
What's do you value most in your machine?

Patong police received a tip-off that Prasit "Kheaw" Panjapol, 34, was dealing in kratom. Undercover officers searched for him, catching up with him on Tuesday (October 28), riding his motorbike on Sirirat Rd.
They found no kratom, said Phuket Provincial Commander Maj Gen Patchara Boonyasit, but "officers found a handmade shotgun pistol and three cartridges in his pocket. He told officers that he was going to shot Sompob "Au" Nuanjun, 30, who was a kratom supplier in Patong."
Prasit explained, "I ordered Kratom leaves from him in the morning, but he didn't deliver until the afternoon. I was very angry that I had to wait for such a long time.
"Moreover, when he arrived he cursed my mother's name. That made me very angry and and I wanted to kill him," he added.
He was still furious at the media conference yesterday afternoon (October 30) to announce his arrest. When reporters asked Prasit, "If you had the opportunity right now, would you shoot Sompob?" Without hesitation he replied, "Yes!"
Sompob, too, is now also in custody. Maj Gen Patchara explained, "We arrested Sompob at his rental room in Soi Kuan Yang Jaroen [on Wednesday night (October 29)],"
"Officers found 10 kilograms of kratom packed in foam boxes which were covered with medical equipment bearing the logo of Patong Hospital. They also found an unlicensed .32-calibre handgun with 35 bullets."
Sompob confessed to the police that he used to work at Patong Hospital, "But I could make more money selling kratom," he explained.
"I would order kratom leaves by phone from 'Phinyo' who lives in Surat Thani, and they would be delivered by bus. Then the leaves would be distributed in Patong."
Sompob was charged with possession of kratom leaves with intent to sell, and possession of an unlicensed gun.
Prasit was charged only with possession of an unlicensed gun. Gen Patchara said he could not be charged with attempted murder "because it had yet to start."
But the general added that the events have inspired him to initiate a crackdown on illegal gun possession in Phuket.
"I will call all superintendents in Phuket to give them orders to get on this as soon as possible. We have to do this before the Loy Krathong Festival [November 6]," he said.

White acrylic paint seemed my best option. I guess that makes it fake snow! Now I have to scratch off the white acrylic splatters that are all over my desk, computer and black fleece jacket.

I realise that it's over a month since I last posted, and I have allowed a couple of personal anniversaries to pass by unnoticed.
At the end of July I should have marked the passing of the first year since Mrs Rachel first met Rachel. Although I had come out a couple of months previously, we had left the actual presentation of me in femme mode until we were both settled and ready. And when we could find some time away from the children.
So it was, at the end of July, we went into London where I had a session booked at Adam & Eve, twith Mrs Rachel as an observer. The idea was that instead of just seeing Rachel appear 'fully-formed' (and, remember, at this stage she had never even seen a photo of me dressed), she would see me transformed bit by bit, which we hoped would reduce some of the shock. Obviously it was a nervous time for both of us; neither of us knew what the reaction would be.
I think you can guess, from the fact that I am writing this, that things went well. Mrs Rachel didn't freak out. Yes, it was hard for her. I think it still is. But she coped and we realised that should could live with me appearing, from time to time, as The Other Woman. We even went out for lunch together at a local cafe. More importantly we felt confident enough to invest in something I didn't have at that point - a wardrobe at home. We hauled off to the infamous Doreen's where I was able to pick up my 'look'; all the basics I felt I needed to be Rachel. This was the point where I stopped being someone created, in part, by a dressing service and took full control of my appearence.
Needless to say that my wardrobe has expanded somewhat since then. I'm a tranny. It happens.
With that milestone out of the way we started telling family members. The big one was telling the children, who accepted it with little problem at all. They knew that we had some kind of issue that was being resolved, but not what it was, but when they finally found out they were accepting and understanding. They saw me, pretty much in bloke mode, trying on a skirt. They had a play with my wig and boobs. And then, towards the end of August, we put aside a Saturday evening and Rachel came to tea. The children saw me fully dressed for the first time. And they didn't freak either.
Obviously there's more to these tales of acceptance and understanding than I've written here, but that would make this post far longer than it needs to be. Suffice to say that, thanks to a wonderful family, I have been able to happily and comfortably express myself as Rachel and, I hope, have been a better person because of it.

The 2018 LMA Your Honor Awards submissions portal is open now through Wednesday, December 13, at noon CT. As you consider submitting to one of the program's 16 categories, your co-chairs and judges have developed a series of in-depth Q&As with past LMA winners. Read on for part one, featuring the 2017 first-place winner of the LMA Tech Impact Award on marketing and business development. This honor was awarded to Bradley, ContactEase and Clients First during the 2017 Legal Marketing Technology Conference Midwestfrom LMA's Midwest Region.
Strategies+: Describe the winning project you submitted.
Jacqueline Madarang (JM): Earlier this year, we started a firm-wide rollout of "Bradley Connect," which is the internal branded name given to our CRM system that is powered by ContactEase. The rollout aimed to tie in the new system with the firm's recent rebrand to Bradley. On our YHA submission, we wanted to demonstrate the partnership between marketing, IT, training and our technology service partners — ContactEase, Clients First and Vuture.
Jennifer Whittier (JW): With an expanded geographic footprint and increased service offerings, Bradley knew that it needed to automate its marketing communications internally as well as to the firm's clients and prospective clients, starting with a CRM solution which is where my team at ContactEase came in. Collaboration among the firm's service partners and internal teams was key to the successful implementation, which included training over 250 users during a 3-month period.
Strategies+: Share with us one or two things about the project that you believe helped it stand out from the competition.
JM: The key things that set our CRM rollout apart were the people, process and technology, which are critical for successful implementation and firm-wide buy-in. After having two failed CRM system implementations in the past, we knew that we had our work cut out for us, and we developed a roadmap and strategy to help set us up for success. We then identified key stakeholders who would champion the value of Bradley Connect firm wide.
When it came time to launch, we hosted "Lunch & Learns" as well as offered personalized desk-side training for employees based on generation and type of work. This allowed us to address specific issues of the individual users and helped achieve buy-in from attorneys and staff. With the use of Vuture, we were able to automate email campaigns and easily manage the attendee list for each Lunch & Learn. For example, when training younger generation attorneys, we emphasized the importance of managing contact relationships and sharing within the new CRM tool. This age group often does not have contacts in their Outlook and commonly relies on autofill, and contacts they have now from their alma mater could be potentially become a client, prospective client or referral source down the road. We help connect the dots so that they understand how to use CRM for business development, especially if they are on track for partnership.
JW: With any implementation, it is imperative to have an internal champion who will advocate on behalf of the product and its benefit to the firm. ContactEase certainly found that in Jacqueline. Her knowledge of the firm's culture and its needs was essential in establishing buy-in from the start. Branding the effort also helped emphasize the importance and value to the firm.
Strategies+: How has your work been received by the firm's attorneys?
JM: We are still in rollout and have recently completed implementation and desk-side trainings for our largest office (with over 250 users between attorneys and staff). Currently, we are rolling out Bradley Connect to our second largest office. We have found that attorneys and staff are now using Bradley Connect to tag clients and add contacts to mailings and events. This may not seem like a lot but changing the culture internally and putting the onus on the attorneys and their secretaries to manage contact relationships has created internal efficiencies, especially within the marketing department. Attorneys and staff continue to provide positive feedback and in one of our Lunch & Learns we even had a senior partner clap at its conclusion, emphasizing to all the importance of having a CRM tool.
JW: Attorneys and staff are not only using the system and contributing contacts, but also understanding the value of CRM. New clients are often excited about the fact that ContactEase integrates seamlessly with Outlook. Because users are already familiar with this environment, it is easily accessible for users at all levels and requires minimal training to get up and running.
Strategies+: What are you plans for the project going forward?
JM: We have a project timeline that we all refer to and revisit often. While we have an aggressive rollout, we still allow ourselves to be flexible to accommodate and address issues from each group. This allows to improve our trainings before we move on to the next office. In addition, we developed an editorial calendar and plan to send email drip campaigns to users that will feature tips on how to add contacts to mailing lists, suggestions for how to mine relationships using Bradley Connect and more. Finally, we are looking into business development integrations with the system and automating some of the contact entry by use of a signature scraper.
JW: We would love for all implementations to be as well-received and championed as Bradley Connect. When you're working with someone like Jacqueline who has the trust of her management team and understands what it takes to impact change (especially in a law firm where things tend to move at a slower pace), you really can't go wrong. One of the things that really set this implementation apart from others is that it was a true partnership from the start.
Think you have a comparable project that deserves Your Honor Awards recognition? Submit today.
Jacqueline Madarang is senior marketing technology manager at Bradley, an Am Law 200 law firm with over 550 attorneys in nine offices. She oversees and manages the firm's marketing technology stack, including the implementation of new tools firm-wide that assist in marketing and business development.
Jennifer Whittier joined ContactEase in 2009 and now serves as its president. Prior to joining the company, she was a ContactEase client for over five years. As the former Director of Marketing and Client Relations for Pierce Atwood, a New England law firm, Jennifer is an excellent resource for clients and future clients alike who rely on her for sound advice and extensive CRM knowledge.

The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office arrested a 69-year-old Sarasota man after he fired multiple bullets out of his Siesta Key home.
The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office arrested a 69-year-old Sarasota man after he fired multiple bullets out of his Siesta Key home.
Deputies initially responded to the 1000 block of Contento Street Wednesday just after 2:00 p.m., for the report of a shooting. The complainant utilized the text-to-911 service offered by the sheriff's office while hiding from the suspect, later identified as Thomas Dudenhoeffer, DOB 09/30/48. As deputies arrived, they quickly took Dudenhoeffer into custody without incident. Investigation revealed Dudenhoeffer fired three bullets from the residence which exited two glass windows on the exterior of the home. Based on witness statements and forensic analysis, detectives believe Dudenhoeffer fired between 10 and 15 rounds inside the home, using a 9MM handgun. Dudenhoeffer admitted to firing the weapon and attributed the crime to hallucinations.
Today Dudenhoeffer faces two counts of Shooting into a Dwelling and is being held on $15,000 bond. He has one prior arrest in Sarasota County for Hit and Run: Failure to Stop for a Crash Involving Serious Bodily Injury. He was arrested by the Florida Highway Patrol in January 2018.
The sheriff's office, who is only one of only a few agencies in the state of Florida to offer text-to-911 services, is using this opportunity to remind and encourage residents and visitors to utilize text-to-911 if they are in trouble and unable to get safely to a telephone. At this time, the sheriff's office Public Safety Communications Center is able to accept text messages however, photos and videos will not be received. Citizens are reminded to "call if you can, text if you can't."

NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- The merger between Bert Fish Medical Center and the Florida Hospital system came with the promise that the level of services at the New Smyrna Beach hospital would be maintained and multiple millions injected to revitalize the ailing hospital.
But breaking down the fine print of the management contract shows the promised millions would be drawn first from Bert Fish Medical Center's revenue.
Twenty-four million dollars in capital investments, plus the cost of computerizing Bert Fish's medical records and outstanding liabilities -- costs that equal $82.7 million, according to Florida Hospital -- are going to be paid out of Bert Fish's revenues over five years, the contract states.
If Bert Fish's revenues don't meet the threshold set out in the agreement, Florida Hospital's parent company, the $6.8-billion-a-year Adventist Health System, will make up the difference to cover the obligations set forth in the merger agreement.
Robert Weiss, vice chairman of the Southeast Volusia Hospital District, which is making the deal with Florida Hospital, said Florida Hospital's guarantees are what convinced him to sign the agreement scheduled to be finalized at the end of this month. He said Halifax Health's bid to merge with Bert Fish fell far short of what Florida Hospital offered.
"We looked very hard, and with all things considered given the amount of money that was being put up, the attitude and quality of service being offered by these people, it (the decision) was unanimous," Weiss said.
Officials at Florida Hospital's rival Halifax Health argue that Bert Fish should be maintained as a publicly owned hospital like Halifax, and have gone on the offensive against the merger. Just before Bert Fish's governing board signed the deal with Florida Hospital, Halifax's top official offered to match Florida Hospital's terms. He also said Halifax would reduce the tax burden of indigent health care on the district's taxpayers by 20 percent instead of the 15 percent reduction Florida Hospital promised in the first year.
After reading the agreement's terms, though, Halifax officials said they were surprised to find just how little the Orlando-based system is putting up to make the deal happen.Martorano
"The document doesn't match up with what they said," said Ann Martorano, spokeswoman for Halifax Health and administrator of Halifax Health Medical Center of Port Orange. "The public presentation was such a misrepresentation of what was actually planned."
The deal calls for 63 percent of Bert Fish's core earnings to be put aside for capital investments. If that amount doesn't come to $24 million in the next five years, Florida Hospital will put money toward capital expenses. Martorano said Halifax -- which had a seven-year union with Bert Fish that failed in 2004 -- is willing to make a capital investment in Bert Fish without taking money from its core earnings.
For the fiscal year 2009, Bert Fish officials say their core earnings were $5.9 million. So, over five years, the amount set aside for capital improvements at the rate detailed in the merger would be equal to $18.6 million. That would mean that Florida Hospital would have to kick in $5.4 million for the biggest line item outlined in the deal.
Aaron Liberman, a professor of health management at the University of Central Florida, said such an arrangement in a merger is "not an unusual clause." He has done paid studies for both Florida Hospital and Halifax.
"They (Florida Hospital) are guaranteeing that if Bert Fish doesn't have the resources to meet the commitment (for capital investment, electronic record conversions and debts), Florida Hospital is the bank behind them to make up the difference," Liberman said.
Mike Schultz, president and chief executive officer of Florida Hospital, Florida region, said he believes his organization's leadership will strengthen what has been the area's only standalone hospital.
In fiscal year 2008, losses exceeded revenues by 5.5 percent. The hospital did a bit better in the year that ended Sept. 30, 2009, when its expenses were 3.9 percent more than its revenues. But that's not been enough for needed capital improvements, according to hospital officials.
"Our goal is to have BFMC generate enough net income to provide for its own capital in order to expand and keep up with medical technology, pay its bond payments and operating expenses, maintain all its services and continue to be an employment engine for the community," Schultz said.
Schultz and Bert Fish officials have said Halifax would strip down services in New Smyrna Beach and ship most patients to Daytona Beach -- which Halifax officials deny. But the management agreement with Florida Hospital makes no guarantees about whether the hospital's 600 employees will remain at Bert Fish.
"Each party shall use its best efforts... to retain the services of its current employees and medical staff (where applicable)," the agreement reads.
The only specific employee mentioned in the merger documents is Bob Williams, Bert Fish's chief executive officer. The documents required at closing include a "memorandum of agreement" with Williams regarding his duties and responsibilities after the closing. That agreement has not been made available to The News-Journal.
The Southeast hospital board's Weiss said the most important aspect of the deal to him is that Florida Hospital will maintain the current level of services at Bert Fish in perpetuity.
"As far as any contract can be forever," he said.
The lease agreement shows that none of the services will be discontinued without the permission of the lessee, which will be Weiss' board, and the community board, which members of Bert Fish's current board, including Weiss, will be invited to join. In five years, though, Florida Hospital has the option to buy the hospital. That means the Southeast Volusia Hospital Board would no longer be the lessee and its board members on the community board would be serving at the pleasure of Florida Hospital.-----

There is a reason that the employer brand ownership is a never-ending debate that has been a topic of concern. This has a lot to do to the lack of understanding behind who controls the brand of a company, both internal and external. For many organizations, employer branding is a shared responsibility managed between HR, Recruiting, Marketing and Internal Communications with an ultimate ownership by the CEO, who sets the tone for the company's mission and values. But who ultimately owns it is a topic often up for debate.
The employer branding ownership debate is more about which department can be trusted with articulating and guiding the employee experience story and overall brand perceptions about the workplace (a skillset that historically has existed within marketing) as well as how firms are structured to manage and deal with these experiences and perceptions (a skillset that historically has existed within HR).
The Never-Ending Employer Branding Debate Isn't As Simple As Ownership
Employer branding can either be a weak point or the strength of an organization. Right from managing the existing workforce to acquiring new talent as well as creating an effective work culture, employer branding comes into play in all these aspects. Recruitment, onboarding of new employees, internal communications, active engagement of the workforce and even consumer market perceptions are all affected either adversely or positively by employer branding.
Therefore, the answer to who owns employer branding is never clear cut for any organization and may be the wrong question to ask in the first place. I would argue that every single employee has the ability to affect the company's employer brand and together should have "ownership" of it, but only one department is best positioned to affect the employee experiences and culture that shapes an employer brand and that's HR. So, perhaps the question shouldn't be who "owns" employer branding but who "drives" it.
5 Ways To Implement Best Employer Branding Practices
1. HR Should Drive Employer Branding
From the CEO to the secretary, it is the entire workforce's shared experiences that create the culture and ultimately the employer brand of an organization. HR should be armed with the tools they need to effectively work across the organization to drive employer branding. The full lifecycle of an employee from sourcing candidates to retirals, can be influenced positively or negatively by employer branding and this lifecycle for most organizations is driven by HR. The answer to this debate is to admit that the HR department is the team driving the employer brand. Providing the right resources, training, and creating the strategies to strengthen the practices and performance of the HR and recruiting staff around building and maintaining a strong employer brand should be the priority.
2. Question The Existing Employer Brand Ownership Practices
A few of the questions that should be asked include, how does employee branding affect the overall growth of the firm, what does the firm achieve by managing the employee brand, are the existing branding practices effective or do changes have to be made? A few additional questions include, how should the firm align between the employer brand and the consumer brand as well as who is responsible for the budget for providing training and acquire the needed tools for improved operations?
3. Build Trust and Network Access Across The Firm
Companies that are spread out at locations throughout the world should set goals of building trust between various vital departments as well as give these departments network access to help in improving communications. One of the important departments is undoubtedly HR as it touches every part of the organization, but others include marketing, communications and the legal departments. Collaboration between these business functions is vital for a strong employer brand strategy.
4. Include The Legal Team
While this is not acknowledged enough, the legal department is a crucial one as far as employee relations go, the legal department should be brought into confidence and be asked to create trademarks as well as employee policies around social media use and other communication policies that are fair, just and create a stronger work culture. They should approach communication policies first from a place of empowering employees with the information they need to avoid making legal mistakes and emphasize what they can do as well as what they can't.
5. Understand The Shift In Tides
The world has changed since we once knew it to be centered around marketing. In today's world two important factors matter, the first factor is consumers and the second factor is employees. While creating best employer brand ownership practices, some organizations are creating a unified system by merging internal communications with the employer branding section. At a previous company I worked at, we actually had internal communications reporting into HR rather than marketing and employer branding within the recruiting function of HR. This can help the firm put the brand above all else and build consistent communications based on the employer brand throughout the employee lifecycle and experience. Keep in mind that employees are responsible for revenue generation while the HR section is responsible for keeping employees and their actions in line, so that the firm does not suffer, in facts benefits with this effective branding and communication system built within it.
While HR should ultimately drive the management and execution of the employer brand it's important to also understand that at the end of the day they need to effectively collaborate across the organization and add value. HR and Recruiting, like with hiring, retention, employee relations, etc needs to partner with other departments, especially marketing, to gather input and data around what it's like to work for your company and the different data and storytelling points around that very topic to be successful. While some may argue that brand sits within Marketing--and they're right when it comes to the overall company and product brand—I think HR wins this one.

AAA TV (SAT) 03/16/2019 Acropolis, Puebla, Puebla [AAA, Lucha Central, MedioTiempo, MedioTiempo (Main), Notimex, R de Rudo, SuperLuchas, thecubsfan, Voices of Wrestling]
1) Big Mami & Niño Hamburguesa © b Lady Maravilla & Villano III Jr. [AAA MIXED TAG]
9:10. Hamburguesa pinned Villano III Jr. but disagreed with Mami over Maravilla. He carried Maravilla to the back after the match.
2) Lady Shani © b La Hiedra, Keyra, Chik Tormenta [Reina De Reinas, street]
7:52. Shani pinned Hiedra after a powerbomb onto chairs. Faby confronted Shani, Keyra and Hijo del Tirantes after the match. Hijo del Tirantes attacked Faby, Keyra & Tormenta joined in, and Shani & Taya made the save.
3) Carta Brava Jr., Mocho Cota Jr., Tito Santana b Daga, Joe Lider, Taya
12:14. Daga hit Joe Lider with a chair and gave him a DVD thru a ladder to set up the Poder del Norte win. PdN put Lider thru a table after the match. Tormenta & Keyra attacked Taya, with Faby making the save.
4) Averno, Chessman, Súper Fly b Drago, Pagano, Puma King
14:04. Averno beat Drago with a Super Devil's Wings in a match where Super Fly, Pagano and Chessman all appeared to be injured (but were said to be fine.)
5) Mamba, Máximo, Psycho Clown b Jeff Jarrett, Killer Kross, La Máscara [cage]
19:02. Order of escape: Jeff Jarrett, Psycho Clown (who then went back in), Mamba, Killer Kross, Maximo and Psycho Clown again. La Mascara took Psycho Clown to try to prevent him from escaping, but Maximo threw in a second mask and Psycho put Mascara thru a table.
6) Aerostar b Laredo Kid, Hijo Del Vikingo, Jack Evans, Sammy Guevara, Eclipse Vengador Jr., Taurus, Golden Magic, Myzteziz [Rey de Reyes]
26:24. Earlier, Cody Rhodes appeared to tease Kenny Omega & Chris Jericho coming in, and to offer Hugo a job as the Spanish voice of AEW. He was interrupted by Konnan and eventually speared by Taurus before Psycho Clown led tecnicos out to make the save. Elimintions in this match: Eclipse Vengador Jr. (Lanzelot in a new outfit by Taurus), Myzteziz Jr. (Taurus), Golden Magic (Taurus), Jack Evans (Hijo del Vikingo), Sammy Guevara (Laredo Kid), Taurus (Aerosar), Vikingo (Aerostar), Laredo Kid (Aerostar) leaving Aerostar as the winner.
7) Fénix & Pentagón Jr. b Rey Escorpión & Texano Jr. [AAA TAG]
7:55. Fenix & Pentagon did their spike package piledriver on Texano. Konnan confronted them after the match, the lights went out, and the Young Bucks appeared.
8) Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson b Fénix & Pentagón Jr. © [AAA TAG]
7:08. Impromptu match. Lucha Brothers superkicked Konnan before the match, but he recovered to celebrate with the Jacksons as they won the tag titles. Konnan had been anti-AEW earlier and was pro-AEW here.
This was a good show. It was not as much better than Homenaje a Dos Leyendas as I expected, though I think the best match on this AAA show (the Rey de Reyes match) was better than the best match on CMLL's show. There was also nothing as bad as the CMLL main event; even the cage match went better than that. The AAA show was also much longer (they've got a lot of sponsor breaks right now) and, much to the opposite of CMLL, there's almost too much stuff going on. Joe Lider getting put thru a table at the same time as Taya & Faby were doing a dramatic handshake was the peak of so many things happened that nothing was sinking in.
The Taya/Faby stuff was so heavy early on that I was thinking either the initial angle after the women's match didn't go right and they needed a redo, or that AAA knows Taya isn't going to be back around for a while so they had to rush thru a bunch of weeks of angles in the course of an hour.
If the Young Bucks showing up unannounced and unexplained to beat the Lucha Brothers leads to a rematch on TripleMania, following a few months of AAA explaining why people should care, then this was an awkward first step that may be worthwhile in the end. History has shown AAA running so many big angles that never get paid off – let's use MAD here – that it is safer to assume AAA's main event turned into an angle for AEW's show and it'll never be explained again.
Attendance was visibly weaker than last year. It was probably not as bad as it looked at times – the camera shots were directly shooting the lower skyboxes, which aren't always sold for events like this – but you could see plenty of other sections that looked pretty empty. There wasn't the Konnan tweet hyping the attendance like usual. I'm not sure announcing the Young Bucks appearing would've helped because the reaction to them wasn't strong, but it definitely couldn't have hurt. The bigger thing is last year's show in the same building had a hair match and they probably needed one on this one. If AAA is planning to have La Mascara or Maximo lose their hair, they probably should've done it on this show instead where it would've meant more than being second or third from the top on TripleMania. Because Psycho Clown was involved, it was the match the crowd saw as the biggest deal by far and it seemed like a missed opportunity that they didn't go more with it.
Australian Suicide missed the show due to injury.
AAA follows up this by being off until April 5, for the TV taping in Tijuana.
AAA (SAT) 03/16/2019 Foro Sol, Iztacalco, Distrito Federal [Record]
1) La Hiedra & Vanilla b Keyra & Starfire
2) Chessman & Tiger Boy b Golden Magic & Lanzelot
3) Dinastía b Mini Psycho Clown ©, La Parkita Negra, La Parkita, Mini Murder Clown, Mini Monster Clown [AAA MINI]
Mini Psycho Clown falls on his 3rd defense. Dinastia is the 7th champion.
4) Hijo del Fantasma, Monsther Clown, Murder Clown b Argenis, Bengala, Máscara de Bronce
AAA (SUN) 03/17/2019 Foro Sol, Iztacalco, Distrito Federal [El Universal, MedioTiempo, Pasala]
1) Niño Hamburguesa & Solaris vs Chicano & La Parka Negra
2) Hijo Del Vikingo & Lady Shani b Faby Apache & Villano III Jr.
3) Myzteziz Jr. & Psycho Clown b Averno & Hijo del Fantasma
4) La Parka b Pagano, Texano Jr. [Vive Latino CHAMP]
There are two shows from the Vive Latino festival. This doesn't show up much at my radar because it's a wrestling show at a music festival, I'm mildly surprised we even got video. Still, it is wrestling shows at a heavily attended music festival – a lot of people saw these shows in person this weekend. They reworked the Saturday card to get the people to Rey de Reyes on time, giving us the odd Chessman & Tiger Boy pairing.
Dinastia losing the title way back when seemed to be part of getting him on of the minis division and closing the mini division down. The minis division is back, but my guess is this is still more a bit to do a title change for the sake of doing it rather than for sure sending Dinastia back out of the main division.
Fantasma was wrestling on Saturday, so he didn't miss Rey de Reyes due to injury. AAA had a role for Jeff Jarrett but not for Hijo del Fantasma. Fantasma has said that all is fine between him and AAA over the Lucha Underground lawsuit. He's not on the next taping either.
Fenix & Penta missed the Mucha Lucha show tonight.
CMLL (SAT) 03/16/2019 Arena Coliseo [CMLL]
1) Acero & Aéreo DQ Pequeño Universo 2000 & Pequeño Violencia
tecnicos took 2/3, the last when Violencia unmasked Acero
2) Kaho Kobayashi, Lluvia, Princesa Sugehit b La Comandante, La Seductora, Tiffany
tecnicas took took 1/3
3) Black Panther, El Audaz, Fuego b Kawato San, Metálico, Misterioso Jr.
tecnicos took 1/3
4) Guerrero Maya Jr. b Luciferno [lightning]
Maya beat Luciferno despite losing his mask on the finish (which seems to be a problem around here)
5) Kráneo, Soberano Jr., Volcano b Rey Bucanero, Shocker, Vangellys
tecnicos took 1/3
6) Gran Guerrero, Templario, Último Guerrero b Diamante Azul, Valiente, Volador Jr.
Rudos took 2/3
Guerrero Maya wants big matches that probably aren't happening. Not much going on these CMLL shows this weekend, though they throw in a slight tease for a tag title match coming out of the main event.
CMLL (SUN) 03/17/2019 Arena México [CMLL]
1) Príncipe Odín Jr. & Yago b Príncipe Diamante & Star Black
Rudos took 1/3. Star Black's Arena Mexico debut.
2) Mercurio, Pequeño Olímpico, Pierrothito b Fantasy, Shockercito, Último Dragóncito
rudos took 2/3.
3) Olímpico, Tiger, Universo 2000 Jr. b Blue Panther, Drone, Rey Cometa
Olimpico's first match here in 10 months (Okumura replacement?). Rudos took 2/3.
4) Hechicero b Flyer [lightning]
5) Atlantis, Atlantis Jr., Stuka Jr. b Dark Magic, Felino, Negro Casas
tecnicos took 2/3, Atlantis Jr. pinning Negro Casas in the third.
6) Diamante Azul, Místico, Niebla Roja b Euforia, Gran Guerrero, Último Guerrero
tecnicos took 2/3.
Star Black introduced himself, Dark Magic did an English speaking promo for people who don't speak English, Olimpico is happy to be back, Hechicero talks about his win, and Negro Casas praises Atlantis Jr.
Garza Jr., via Zona Ruda, has said the upcoming The Crash show on 03/23 is his final one with the promotion. Nothing has been officially announced, but the only thing standing between Garza Jr. and a WWE NXT development deal prior was his shoulder injury and he no longer has a shoulder injury.

So for this post I have collaborated with LUISAVIAROMA to bring you another favourite combination of mine 'The Canadian tux'.
I love how this look is a bit different than my other double denim ones as I've added in some more luxury items to make this look more chic. LUISAVIAROMA has been on my radar for the past year and I love browsing through their new in section to see what piece I should invest in next. I also love the fact that they offer free shipping and returns. I've opted for something a little bit different for this combination this time. Instead of a short cropped jacket, I found this amazing Helmut Lang denim trench coat and thought that it was so unique that I definitely need to style it up. Just paired it with a basic pair of denim washed skinnies, classic white tee and of course my white trainers. To add a bit of colour to this outfit I've also gone for this Givenchy clutch in red. Normally I would go with black but there's just something about the red that drew me to it and I can't wait to style it for summer. It also matches with my nails and lips! Kept my jewellery and hair minimal too to really focus on the outfit.
Let me know your thoughts on this outfit below!

Featured Vendor : Bella Umbrella – Umbrella Rental
This month I've been sharing different inspiration for choosing a wedding theme, and I immediately thought of Bella Umbrella and how useful and amazing umbrellas can be in photos.
Bella Umbrella is a local Seattle company that rents (yep, you don't have to buy them!) beautiful vintage umbrellas in all shapes and sizes for your wedding. Jodell, the owner wanted umbrellas to shade her guests for her wedding over a decade ago, and couldn't find anyone that rented them so she scoured eBay. Afterwards, she realized that other brides would love the ability to rent umbrellas for their day, and she opened Bella Umbrella.
Here are a handful of images from weddings I've photographed with the beautiful Bella Umbrellas. From photo props to wedding decor, the options make such an impact, and scroll to the bottom to see what Jodell says about her umbrella rental shop
I asked Jodell a couple questions about Bella Umbrella and this is what she had to say:
What type of weddings do you see utilizing umbrellas the best (i.e. pictures, decor, location.)?
Any type of wedding! No matter what the season, location, or theme any wedding can use umbrellas! They can be used both as a beautiful functional element and for an unexpected pop as décor! They look fantastic in photographs – framing a glowing bride, filtering direct sunlight on guests' faces, sheltering a couple from raindrops, or creating a magical 'canopy' over your reception guests!
Are there any trending types/colors of umbrellas you see happening this season?
Classic color combinations like red with black and white as well as pinks are always popular. We're excited about Pantone's color story for this year – "en plein air". Inspired by the natural world, they're soft and earthy tones versatile to any color scheme and flattering for any complexion. Here is a link to that gorgeous palette:
With over 800 original vintage umbrellas we can accommodate ANY color scheme.
So far for Spring we have been seeing a lot of yellow umbrellas being rented for weddings. We also just released our Signature Bella Umbrella Pagoda colors for Spring: Yellow and Coral. We see them as very popular Spring and Summer colors especially for weddings!
These are retail for $129 or you can rent them for $20 each for a five day period.
How many days do you recommend renting the umbrellas for? And how far out in advance (esp for a summer wedding)?
The typical rental period lasts 5 days – Thursday through Monday. Of course we are happy to accommodate special needs when we can, but the umbrellas are in high demand during the summer wedding season! As soon as you know your event date we would advise looking through our rental collection online to match your colors and event theme. We have hundreds of umbrellas, but if you have your heart set on a specific umbrella the earlier you can rent the better!
What's the most creative thing you've seen someone do with your umbrellas?
There are many things, but our favorite is when people hang them from the ceiling to create a beautiful art piece for the ceiling of their event. Here are some of our favorite examples. We have also seen people do some very creative centerpieces using the umbrellas. The choices are endless when you have such unique, beautiful, and timeless pieces at your disposal!
Do you rent/sell any other fun wedding type gear/decor?
Our shop is exclusively an umbrella specialty boutique.
Go check out Bella Umbrella Rental now!
