Looking forward to summer and feeling the need to ditch the daily grind, load up the Family Truckster and escape to the beach for a few days' R&R or a week-long getaway?
Sorry Charlie – it's May 8th and all the primo summer vacation rentals have been snatched up by saavy VRBO types way back in January. Which seems ridiculous, but according to a study conducted earlier this year by HomeAway, and as reported in its blog, the best time to book a vacation home for the summer holiday season is in January, because by April 1st, the majority of the site's summer rentals have been booked.
This is especially true for the most sought after locations – including our glorious California beaches – and premium quality pet-friendly accommodations.
So the trick is to plan ahead and book early (earlier than you might think is necessary) to avoid disappointment, dirty looks from the family unit, a depressed dog, and having to settle for something less than stellar for your family vacation.
So here's a handy guide for what HomeAway says are the best times to book beach houses, cabins and condos for every peak travel season throughout the year. Get ahead of the demand curve for the best deals and the best selection of vacation rentals.
Spring Break: Choose a place to stay before January to get the largest selection. Shake off the hangover and get planning.
Summer Vacation: Book this in January (the earlier the better) to get ahead of the demand. Most summer vacation rental homes will be full by April 1.
4th of July Weekend: Book by May 1. Seriously.
Memorial Day Weekend: Many travelers reserve in January sine this is basically kicking off summer. Failing that, booking before March will still give you a good range of home sizes, locations and prices.
Labor Day Weekend: Book right after the 4th of July to beat the late-summer demand.
Ski Season: We're not sure why some people choose freezing snow over sandy beaches and mild temperatures in the fall/winter months, but they're out there. Those coo-coo's should start looking by mid-October for the best selection of ski rentals. Half of all ski rentals are booked by December. We'll be at the beach.
Thanksgiving: This tends to be more of a last-minute holiday, so procrastinators rejoice! But don't put it off too long. You should really try to secure your booking by Oct. 2 and you can still get ahead of the demand.
Christmas, Hanukkah, etc: This is also a very popular time to travel, so try to book three months ahead for the best selection of holiday season rentals. Once you survive the holidays you'll be ready for a vacation, so get ready to start planning after New Years for next summer!
Mark these dates on your calendar as helpful reminders to break tradition and be the early birds of the vacation rentals inventory this year so you never get stuck in a Bates Motel again for your much deserved holiday. Mother says to do it now.

It's my last day in the beach town of Tofo, so I thought I'd write a bit about it. The main attraction here is the diving, and it's a bit more adventurous than most diving locations! You're diving off unprotected coastline, so the waters can be a bit rough at times. This morning was especially wild, there was only one dive site that they would bring us to in the very choppy conditions. How the diving here in Tofo works is like this: you have a tractor that brings a rubber dinghy down the beach to the water. All the gear is already loaded into the dinghy. Then everyone gets on the sides of the dinghy and drags it out why the tractor is also pushing it from behind. Once you're far enough in, everyone hops on the boat, they gun the motor, and you get out of there as quick as you can so you don't get pummelled by the surf. From there, depending on the conditions, it can be another battle to get out to your dive site.
This morning was the biggest waves we've had yet, and even though it was a short ride to the dive site, one guy was already making grunting noises and puking over the side. I wasn't sitting near him though, ha. We got to the dive site, everyone rolled backwards off the boat, and headed down 30m to the reef. And the current was strong! You really had to hold onto the reef to avoid getting swept away. One couple decided it was too strong and head up right away. Eventually we got to point where we were more protected from the current, so it wasn't so hectic.
We saw lots of shrimp, lobsters, a few moray eels, scorpionfish, pretty usual stuff. Then at the end of the dive when we surfaced the boat was really far away, and we could see it, but due to the size of the waves, it couldn't see us. So we had wait maybe 20 minutes floating around before the boat was finally able to spot our orange inflatable device. Some of the people already in the boat didn't look so good, three of them had thrown up already! We hopped on, and quickly sped off back to mainland. They really gun the boat when you get close to shore to get the boat as far up onto the beach as they can, which is kinda fun. Just another day diving in Mozambique!
I've been here 5 nights and have been diving almost everyday. But my stomach can't handle any more than two of those boat rides a day. Tofo is touted as a place where you can see big stuff like whale sharks and mantas, but we didn't see either. But did see some cool stuff like turtles, eagle rays, devil rays, blacktip and gray reef sharks though. Sadly no photos! One of these days I'll get a housing for my camera... Other than diving, it's mostly been chilling on the beach. It's low season, so everything is a bit dead. Tofo has really picturesque sand dunes, so it's a popular place for South Africans to build house up on the dunes, overlooking the ocean. The other thing I like is how cheap the cashews are here. You get a massive bag for $2, tough to beat that! And there's one small village nearby, which I like to wander through.
Tomorrow I'm heading north with two Germans and a Swiss guy to a place called Vilanculos, which has some nice islands and more scuba diving. In my head I've calculated it to take 6-7 hours, which probably means it will take 12! So one more week in Mozambique, two weeks in South Africa, and then it's back home for me!

Magic Words.
So lately.. especially in the past few weeks-there have been WORDS coming out of my kiddos mouth!
Everytime I hear it.. I can't help but gasp for breath.
Tonite.. I have been so 'overly lovey' with him.
It's like I just can't get enough of him.
I chase him around... and just want to squeeze him up.
My fave thing to do.. kiss him like crazy on the back of his neck.
I still get that sweet baby smell.....
That takes over me.
I can't believe how fast this Mom thing is going....
I know it's cause he's learning so much from school.
I know that, if I had not gotten the job that I later lost... he wouldn't be this smart.
If that wouldn't have happened-he would have never gone to school.
He just loves it.
It was so cute.
The other day... I dropped him off and all the kids FLOCKED to him... touching him... pulling on the zipper on his sweatshirt....
And his teacher said "Boston, you're the star today!"
I looked at her and wanted to say-"Today? You mean everyday right?" ha.
But then I realized... he was wearing an Elmo on his vest.
He says that word too. So cute.
My baby and his words:
--Tree (yep-that one came when the Christmas tree went up)
-- coat (he points to it.. knowing what it's for)
-- binky (duh. Although I hate that word. But he just loves his binky.)
-- Mama, Dada (magic to my ears)
-- Nana (that is for banana)
-- i queem (ice cream. Don't blame me. ha)
There are more... I just have to start writing them down.
I can't wait till he says LOVE... that will be cool.

What is it?
The U.S. Army's Social Media, as a communications tool, represents an innovative and interactive way of telling the Army story. Social media platforms provide an opportunity for transparent communication and two-way engagement with the public.
On Sept. 16, 2010, Deputy Secretary of Defense William J. Lynn III signed Directive-Type Memorandum (DTM) 09-026 establishing Internet-based capabilities as an integral part of Department of Defense operations.
Falling under the realm of Internet-based capabilities is social media. Social media are platforms where users engage in two-way conversation, generate content and publish updates using Internet and mobile devices. Specific examples of social media sites are video-sharing services such as YouTube or Vimeo, photo-sharing services such as Flickr, social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter's microblogging service.
What has the Army done?
The U.S. Army's Online & Social Media Division (OSMD), formed in January 2009 at the Office of the Chief of Public Affairs, Headquarters, Department of the Army, spearheads online engagement via social media platforms. In addition to providing information about the latest Army news around the globe, the OSMD uses social media platforms to spark discussions with users and solicit feedback - offering the American public a stake in the future of their Army.
Army leaders are leveraging social media to communicate with stakeholders. Lt. Gen. Frank Helmick, commanding general of XVIII Airborne Corps and Fort Bragg, as well as Gen. Ray Odierno, commanding general of Joint Forces Command and former commander of U .S. Forces Iraq, use social networking to connect with the military personnel, families and civilians. These examples illustrate the commitment of senior Army leaders to integrate technological advances in communicating with Army stakeholders.
What continued efforts does the Army plan for the future?
The U.S. Army's Social Media program continues to grow and evolve as the social media realm expands and becomes more a part of our daily lives. OSMD envisions the development of initiatives that will provide additional opportunities for public dialogue and feedback. OSMD plans to continue developing and distributing products that keep the Army community up-to-date on social media security precautions, training resources, policies and best practices.
Why is this important to the Army?
The Army is using the power of communication through social media platforms to keep the American public informed. This is especially important during a time of crisis. In crisis situations, social media presents an official "one-stop-shop" source of information that is easily-accessible, cost-effective and immediate. The Army can leverage social media platforms during a crisis to reach audiences where they are, convey information and correct misinformation. Given the new pace of electronic information via social media, the Army is poised to continuously adapt to new developments in communication to tell the Army story in a transparent and effective manner.

Senior leaders endorsing the use of social media to tell the Army story:
"I think social media is essential right now. I think it's awfully important to use every opportunity to communicate with our (extraordinary) audience. We have an obligation to tell the story of what's happening in the U.S. Army today -- the sacrifice, courage and selfless service of these great young men and women committed to the nation in this time of war."
- Lt. Gen. David Huntoon Jr., West Point's commanding general, superintendent and a graduate as well as a father of a senior cadet, praises the Corps of Cadets for their commitment to the mission of the U.S. Army
Huntoon: 'Inspired to serve' Corps of Cadets
"We trust these men and women to put a gun in their hands, have them deploy overseas, and ask them to make life-and-death decisions for their teammates, the population, and the enemy they face. Why can't we trust them to do the right thing with social media?"
- Lt. Gen. Benjamin Freakley, U.S. Army Accessions Command
"Social media is not something you do, it is something you cultivate and nurture. It requires the right mix of content, interaction and personality. Being creative and open while maintaining credibility and authoritativeness can be a challenge, but it can be done, and done with great results. We are now moving from a typical 24-hour news response time to about three hours or less. In fact, with a smart phone and wireless connection, we even have the ability to broadcast live to our Command Channel and websites, including Facebook, while accepting live comments from the community. It's like having a satellite truck in my pocket. Best of all, most of this is free or very low cost."
- Dan Thompson, public affairs chief, U.S. Army Garrison-Yongsan, encourages using the social media tools to tell the Army story

Most sports teams are nicknamed after generic things like animals, groups or locations. The Toronto Blue Jays, Boston Celtics and Washington Capitals are just a few examples. But there are actually three National Football League teams that are named after specific, real-life people. To celebrate the official start of the NFL this weekend, here are three people whose legacies live on in major league sports.
1. Baltimore Ravens
Don't let the generic name fool you. Baltimore's 1996 expansion team wasn't named after any old raven. The club's nickname is an allusion to the menacing bird from Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven. Although born in Boston, Poe later moved to Baltimore, where he died in 1849. But the iconic American poet lives on in his writing as well as in the NFL.
Maybe one day the team will use a logo designed after The Simpsons parody of the poem.
2. Buffalo Bills
No, Buffalo's NFL team isn't named after paper money or invoices mailed out by utility companies. The nickname is a tribute to Bill Cody, the 19th century entertainer who cemented America's vision of the western frontier through his traveling show called Buffalo Bill's Wild West. Previous team owner James Breuil chose Bills over other fan suggestions when renaming the club in 1947. Before then, they were known as the Buffalo Bison.
Unfortunately, NFL rules prohibit the Bills from using ropes to tackle opponents like their namesake wrangled cattle.
3. Cleveland Browns
There are a couple competing theories about the origins of the Browns' nickname. One is that Cleveland's NFL team is named after boxing legend Joe Louis - a.k.a. The Brown Bomber. Louis doesn't have any real connection to Cleveland, but he was such a widely revered fighter that it's possible the new team was drawn to the champion when looking for a name in 1946.
And it's easy to see why sportsmen would like Louis' spirit.

How much do you know about 3D printers?2016/07/30 Internationally different items of news from 3D printers, there is a reproducing food, prosthetics, models are read ... But what are they ?, Here we explain quickly what they are and the areas used .
A 3D printer is a device capable of reproducing a tridimensional solid object by adding material, the design comes from a computer.
The materials range from the most common such as plastic and resin to the most complex such as metal, photopolymer or liquid resin, although these are prohibitive for non-industrial environments.
The materials used depend on the model of the printer.
"The process (...) is essentially creating a go layer by layer prototype and from bottom to top. That the machine deposits a layer of plastic powder (or other material), the area that indicates the computer is compact and repeats the process by placing layer upon layer until the part is completed, "explains Axel Marazzi Hipertextual.
3D printers in education
Items for the classroom and architectural models are some of the objects are achieved with 3D printers. But beyond what they produce for experts, they help encourage creativity and problem solving skills while generating more participation.
In addition, they capture the interest of students. The "ability to learn through practice and see the real result of their designs makes students show more interest and feel more motivated," he adds about the site Digital World.
3D printers fashion
With these machines it is possible to make clothes to fit. After the designer has made its proposal on the computer, dresses, shirts and even underwear have been developed with this technology, and although initially tissues were a bit static today have improved, and loose weaves are achieved, in some cases such crochet. It has also been made with these machines footwear.
3D printers health
The creation of prostheses to fit patient is one of the most common uses for this technology. Most are made of a material compatible with the organic tissue if needed replacement of certain damaged organs, detailed FayerMayer.
One of the achievements in medicine was the production of a trachea for a six month old baby, who could not breathe, the device has been profitable so far. They have also been developed plastic legs, false ears, covers the face and bits of bone.

Lovely hotel within a lovely warm comfortable pub. Room was clean and well equipped, with lovely detail such as home-made cookies. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was DELICIOUS! We stayed here to break up a long journey from Yorkshire to Cornwall and it is a fantastic location; just 3 miles and easy to find off the M5, allowing us to stretch our legs and get some fresh beach air after 6 hours in a car!
Mandy, October 2018
Really good value. Our meals were also really nice and the coffee cheesecake was homemade heaven! I like the fact that they have local seasonal veg and constantly changing the menu to reflect that.
We sat next to the fire which was really cosy and the staff were welcoming and helpful. Would definitely come back again when next in the area!
Emilie, October 2018
Went here for an evening meal with our dog. Staff let us choose from several tables available. One of the managers recommended ribs, which I had and they were amazing! Our little dog had a bowl of water brought to her and even some doggie treats. Good selection of drinks, nice atmosphere, very friendly and attentive staff. I can't recommend this place enough. All staff made us feel welcome and important! Thank you and good luck to new managers!
James, September 2018
A rare West County treat. A Youngs pub! Great pub, good ales, nice garden and comfortable seating throughout.
Still the premier pub in Burnham, lovely staff, brilliantly kept ale and welcoming locals. It is so worth paying a fair bit extra for a decent pint in lovely surroundings.

Our EarthTone flute in the key of high "B" minor is the highest octave in the key of "B" that we make. It is easy to play making it an ideal instrument for first-time flute players. It is deeper in tone than the Merlin "C."
Made from domestic Walnut, which is a hard wood, the flute is sealed with non-toxic oils that give it a warm, resonant, clear voice. It also features a Rainbow Moonstone cabochon, the fetish symbolizes the circle of life, and it is engraved with a geometric pattern representing the 432Hz frequency.
This flute key is a great accompaniment for our Condor Bass "B" flute.
About Our EarthTone Flutes -
In the world of music, there has been a revival of tuning instruments to lower frequencies of sound vibration. Until recently, most musical instruments have been tuned so that the "A" note (of the middle octave on a piano) is tuned to 440Hz (Hz = cycles per second). This is known as Concert Pitch and was established as a standard at the beginning of the 20th century.
Our EarthTone© wooden flutes use a 432Hz frequency for the "A" note, and all other notes are aligned accordingly. When played alongside flutes that are tuned to the frequency of 440Hz, the 432Hz tonal difference is very subtle. The 8Hz of tonal difference are seemingly slight in degree but can be perceptibly different when experiencing the feeling of the music we hear. Much like the subtle inflection of the human voice that can project a subtle variation in feelings, an instrument using a slight change in frequency can alter the feeling quality of the music being played.
This flute is 17.5 inches (44.45cm) long, and it is best suited for people with medium to larger hands.

Oversized Bean Bag Chairs Ideas
Oversized bean bag chairs – If you have an old ladder-back chair with a stick seat that needs repair, you do not have to throw it away. You can recant the seat and restrain the chair instead. Rewoven sugar cane is an ideal alternative because it is the easiest for a DIY project. You can give the chair a fresh new look while the story of your antique.
18 Picture Gallery: Oversized Bean Bag Chairs Ideas
Remove the old seat sugar cane by gently pushing the seat from the oversized bean bag chairs frame. Use pliers to remove the spline from the original seat. Clean the old seat with excess glue, nail or nub with hot soapy water and a soft cloth, using pliers if necessary. Measure and cut the rewoven sugar cane material 2 inches longer than the seat opening. Blow the blanket in hot water for 30 to 45 minutes, preferably in a bathtub. Shake off excess water from sugar cane and place it on a towel for five minutes.
Place sugar cane loosely over the seat allowing 2-inch excess to hang over the edge. Put sugar cane in the seat slot by gently placing a wooden wedge in the groove and putting the cap. Put oversized bean bag chairs wedges around the entire seat and install the sugar cane as you go. Moisten the sugar cane spline in warm water for 30 to 45 minutes, preferably in a bathtub. Shake off excess water from spline and place it on a towel for five minutes. When the spline is attenuated, place it around the edges of the seat, inside the groove, and glue it into place with furniture glue. When placing spline in the groove, remove the dragons.

Newton Dems endorse carbon taxation in Massachusetts/
Following a fantastic presentation by State Senator Michael Barrett of Lexington, The Newton Democratic City Committee voted to endorse legislation that would establish a revenue-neutral carbon tax in Massachusetts:
"We, the Newton Democratic City Committee, urge the General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to pass legislation that fights global warming by placing charges on the carbon content of fossil fuels and returns the money to residents and employers. Specifically, we commend State Sen. Mike Barrett (D-Lexington) for drafting and submitting, "An Act combating climate change." We strongly encourage our State Senators and Representatives, and our Governor, to make carbon pricing the law of our state."
Your next steps:
- Write a letter to the editor in support of this initiative.
- Do you work in a small business? Urge them to get behind this revenue-neutral effort.
- Listen to this WBUR story and share it with your friends.

Campaign Ends this Thursday June, 25th.
This January marks 4 years of Barre Bliss. We have made some big leaps and bounds this year and need a boost to keep growing and sustaining what we have built. Instead of going to a bank for a loan, we wanted to explore the possibility of community and investment from the people. With our expansion, costs have tripled and business has slowed for many reasons. If you believe in homegrown, small business ventures like Barre Bliss, please take a moment to share this and contribute anyway you can. XO Mia.

In the late 18th century, Samuel Bentham discovered that by gluing together separate thin pieces of wood he could form a composite piece of timber that was stronger than a length of wood cut straight from a log. He registered a patent for the idea in 1797 but, because his process used hand-sawn timber, what he produced was rather rough and its final size was limited by the size of the timber that was used to cut the thin planks that were stuck together.
However, in the middle of 19th century, Immanuel Nobel - the father of Alfred Nobel - invented a rotary lathe that produced relatively large sheets of thin wood by rotating a trunk or branch while holding a long blade against it that was under tension. Large sheets could be cut or peeled away from relatively thin trunks of trees as long as they were fairly straight and the grain was not too distorted around secondary branches. These thin sheets were then glued together with alternate sheets turned, so that the grain ran across at 90 degrees, and it was then dried by baking under pressure to keep the composite sheets of timber flat.
Industrial production of plywood started in France in the 1860s and the process was introduced to the USA about 1865. The main products - large timber sheets of various thickness - are used as a building material in construction to line the walls and roof or plywood can be used for shuttering for poured concrete.
With glue that is resistant to damp and mould, plywood can be used for boat building and in the 20th century it's lightness and strength made it ideal for the construction of the frames of early aircraft.
For furniture, plywood can be sawn and sanded, using normal wood-work tools, although some care has to be taken when using a plane. When finer veneer, from an exotic tree or veneer with an ornate grain is used on the outer faces, plywood can be used in large sheets for cabinet doors or the sides of cupboards although thinner sheets have to be supported on some form of framework. Large sheets of plywood are used for the backs of furniture and the bottoms or even the sides of drawers but thicker plywood can also be used effectively for worktops and table tops where the alternate light and dark layers - the consequence of laying alternate sheets in alternate directions - can make a distinctive and decorative edge.
Plywood, when heated or steamed, can be bent or curved and, if held in that form while it is dried or it is heated, then it retains the shape.
In Finland, although the native birch does not grow to a particularly substantial trunk it has a good regular grain and, when used for plywood, is much stronger than plywood made from softwood ply and the properties of plywood have been well-exploited in building construction and for furniture production.

A Quick Fix With Sugru/
Hopefully, your weekend went better than mine the other day, I accidentally broke my intervalometer's cable... Always fun. So in cases like this, it's where I break out the Sugru, a mouldable glue that hardens into a rubberized silicone. You might remember a few years back in an article, I used this on my tripod plate adapted for Black Rapid making a tighter fit and keeping everything snug. Since I'm cheap and an intervalometer costs about $20 I'll go with the $4 fix.Sugru is basically like Play-Dou for adults so using it is pretty simple. Once opening the package all I had to do was stick it to the cable, shape it, and let it sit for a day. Compared to electrical tape it makes a thorough seal that works great. As it's made from silicone it's waterproof, handles heat/cold, durable, and shockproof... so perfect for fixing a cable. It's great for DIY repairs as Sugru sticks permanently to lots of stuff like ceramics, glass, metal, wood, rubber, most plastics, and fabrics. Some Tips For Using Sugru:
- There's a new family-friendly formula that's less messy and the original formula. Personally, I stick with original but it's up to you, I use gloves with the original as its a bit sticky.
- Store in the fridge to get it to keep longer, 3X! I throw it in the butter drawer honestly and get it to last about a year or more.
- Make sure everything is clean, including you. Sugru bonds better to clean surfaces and it tends to pick up dust so keeping clean is best. I use a paper plate for a clean area, sugru can stain when fresh and a plate is disposable.
- Pressing against it with a flat object helps get smooth edges. It's like Play-Dou, just using something smooth rolled against it adds a nice clean finish. If it's sticking apply some soapy water to your object to smooth it out without sticking.
Repairing cords is just the start though really. Add magnets to hold gear, repair a hole in your camera bag, make stands for product photos, make a clip, bond two pieces of gear together for a mount, make a grip, and more.Just FYI, use the code PARTYHAT at Sugru's site for 40% from now until Sunday, October 8th, midnight PST. Otherwise, if you missed out check out Amazon to get a great deal and get your DIY on today. As a little goes far I suggest the 3 packs (black | white | mixed), just remember to store them somewhere cold to last longer.

Last week I purged about 70% of my closet. My goal was to create a calm sense of simplicity in my life. I'm pleased to say that my morning routine is far more streamlined and the clothing I've chosen to keep has a cohesive look that reflects my personality. But simplicity is not the only bi-product of having a capsule wardrobe. I've also noticed that my clothing choices are more sophisticated. The reserved color palette, the cohesive fabrics and the uniform shapes of the clothing I kept are, without even trying, more sophisticated than the jumble of clothes I had before. I think it was Leonardo DaVinci who said, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." Smart guy.

Nice one. I'm not a fan of the whole njs hysteria, but the bike looks great.. and your wheels looks alot more failsafe than the real deal..
On another note, where do you hang-out up there? On all the photos you post from finland it looks like one big industry zone. The building in the background of your SUV photo looks just like Chernobyl.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Chernobylreactor_1.jpg

Did you never hear about photoshop..
cause it actually is chernobyl there. ;)
But what coincidence, this place is power plant area too. Not nuclear trough. Its in center of Helsinki.
Other places are parking hall of Hellsinki IceHockey/fair center.
And seaside of old cable factory.

Saunas & Bronchitis
The symptoms of bronchitis include wheezing, coughing, difficulty breathing and an ache in your chest. While a sauna cannot cure the cause of these symptoms, it can alleviate some of your suffering and improve your attitude and outlook. After these improvements, you can find yourself feeling better while you wait for the infection to pass.
The Steam Soothes Your Throat and Lungs
In a wet sauna, water is poured over heated stones to produce steam. This steam soothes your throat and lungs, providing some relief from the irritation caused by chronic coughing. The soreness in your chest due to wheezing and your hindered breathing due to an excess of mucus also diminishes.
Sweat Purges Other Bacteria and Germs
Sweating exfoliates and purges your skin, washing out germs and bacteria that can make you feel worse. The clean feeling you feel after a sauna improves your overall sense of wellness and improves your attitude. This purge also removes other elements that may have taxed your immune system, leaving your body better able to cope with your bronchial infection.
Simulated Fever Boosts Immunity
The heat from a sauna simulates fever conditions. This simulated rise in body temperature boosts the activity of your immune system. Over time and with regular stimulation, your immunity will rise and your ability to fight off bronchitis and other infections will increase.
Relaxation Eases Your Discomfort
As you relax, the fatigue you feel due to bronchitis eases. You may also be experiencing muscle soreness due to lack of oxygen and the general effects of your infection. You will find that these symptoms also become less severe as the heat from the sauna delivers you into a more relaxed state.
Stress Reduction Helps Your Body Recover
Stress inhibits your immune system's ability to fight off an infection, and the relaxation you experience during a sauna reduces physical stress on your body. This reduction in stress helps you recover from your infection more quickly than you would if you did nothing to lower your stress levels.

Sunset at Tenney Park with our friend Laurie and a sunrise on our lake. All enhanced using the Lo-Mob filter app on my iPhone.
No idea where this shot came from. But it is fun and can be a background for something someday.
Here I was playing on my iPad using the Type Drawing app. This is my first attempt. You start with a photo, pick a font, pick a color and type your copy. Using a stylus or your finger the faster you draw the bigger the type is. Fun.

Given the collapse of Icelands economy do you think we will see a revival of the NECROPANTS spell?
It's not quite the most disturbing ritual that I know, but its definitely up there.
The Necropants were made with the intact skin of corpse dug up from a churchyard and worn as pants. You than place the stave (sigil) in the scrotum along with a coin stolen from a poor widow. The scrotum than acts as a magickal coin attracting purse.
The photo is from the Sorcery and witchcraft museum of Iceland.

The eleventh sign of the zodiac is Aquarius. It is represented by the water bearer. Aquarius is the sign of the future and the water bearer reflects the idealism of the new life the future promises. They are individuals who like to do their own thing and they enjoy being different. Aquarians take pride in their intellectual independence. They can be liberal and progressive in thought, and yet still fixed in their opinion. However, they are fair judges of different opinions because they don't let emotions get in their way.
Aquarians make great friends and even better leaders due to their considerate and caring ways. They may amaze you with their open minded and unusual ideas. Aquarius is the sign of the future as well the sign of hopes and dreams. Their creative thought and imagination has lead to many great discoveries, but often their drive to be unlike anyone else can lead others to view them as eccentric and unusual.Inconsistency and confusion describe the characteristics profile of an Aquarius female. The same goes for her love life too. She is very loyal, but at the same time, she is also a little detached and not extremely emotional. She will be committed and remain faithful too, but do not try to bind her. Let her enjoy her freedom and in return, she will come back to you when she gets tired of her expeditions. Her dreams are very different from that of a normal female and she hums a different tune, which most of us have not even heard of.
An Aquarian female is like a butterfly, which sits on every flower, but belongs to none. She loves her freedom and if you can accept this, she will love you even more. Within her boundless limits, her love will also be limitless. Position and power matter to her more than money and bank balance. If you want her to fall in love with you, be true and honest, not only to others, but also to yourself. You don't need to follow her rules. You can form your own code of ethics, but be sure to live by them.
Passion is not one of the personality traits of Aquarian girl. Rather, her love will be subtle and unassuming. She is intense, but may prefer to be platonic most of the time. Hosting as well as attending parties comes naturally to her and she will always be a social delight. She will trust you completely and will not be unduly suspicious of your activities. You will also not be bothered by too much jealousy or possessiveness on her part. Her trust arises from the fact that before committing, she had dissected your behavior under a microscope.
Only after being convinced of your integrity did she take the next step. Still, if you become unfaithful to her, she will be extremely hurt and is likely to remember the wound for a long time. With an Aquarian female, out of sight means out of mind too. So, make sure to be around here always. She has a very strong will power. If she thinks the relationship is not working and has no chances of improving also, she will break it right away; though doing so may tear her heart into two pieces. Like every Aquarian, she will remember her first love throughout her life.
She will never ever be dishonest in a relationship and even if she indulges in an extra-marital affair, it will end before it even started. She will always try to know your deepest thoughts and secrets, but her own dreams will be beyond your reach. Conversing with an Aquarian female is usually a delight because of her charming manners. Her mind is quite unpredictable and you will find it hard keeping track. She will live in the present, then suddenly be wistful about yesterday and then, become enthusiastic about tomorrow.
Never look down on her or she might never look up to you. She respects you and will expect the same in return. As mothers, Aquarian women tend to be very loving and caring. Though in the beginning, they may be a little nervous about the whole idea of motherhood. But once they become comfortable with it, it will come to them naturally. An Aquarius female may find it difficult to express her love in the form of hugs and kisses and you will have to teach her that. She will never overburden the kids with protection.
However, for all this to happen you will have to convince her to get married and this certainly isn't an easy job. You will also have to teach her romance, since expressing emotions does not come too easily to her. She will happily hold your hand and walk besides you, but don't expect her to gaze into your eyes for hours at a stretch.
Don't smother your Aquarian girl with too much closeness, she needs her space and will give you, yours too. Things like suspicion, possessiveness, chauvinism and criticism turn her off. Make use of her intuition and insight, it may help you in solving a problem or two.
Aquarius and Capricorn love compatibility
Both signs have a strong sense of self, but Aquarius wants to be free and Capricorn wants to dominate. They will find out soon that their romance has turned into a friendship. it is uneasy for the Capricorn to cope with the Aquarius in intimate affairs. The Aquarius is a inventive, free-will person. She can't be in love with the practical Capricorn. Aquarius is continually on the go and likes to spend money. Capricorn considers that frivolous and tries to impose strict controls. Aquarius may go through a number of jobs, searching for the right challenges but Capricorns' need for financial security is so strong that this will horrify him. This is not a satisfactory connection, and marriage will require efforts.
This connection will be stormy and will bring a lot of new emotions. There is a chance that the Aries will be dominating, as the Aquarius is more passive. The planet Uranus, which rules Aquarius, is unpredictable in its actions; therefore, Aquarians have a tendency to procrastinate too much to please the Arien "up and at ' em" characteristics. If both sides try a bit of tact & understanding, this great love affair could turn into something special. In case of marriage a lot will be depending on how much they love each other.
Fun-loving Aquarius will be too unpredictable for a vulnerable Cancer. The Cancer is usually more open and steady than Aquarius who inclined to find new adventures. Aquarians love to share their life stories with the world while Cancer is satisfied to concentrate on personal obligations. Cancer have a conservative taste; Aquarius taste are usually the opposite. They are able to find common language in bedroom for some time, though they will not sustain this partnership in a drawing room for a long time. Odds against this combination are too great for this combination, unless one will become subservient to the other.
They should suit each other perfectly . Warm, sensual Libra joins with enthusiasm in Aquarius's erotic fun and games. Also, diplomatic Libra knows must how to get around Aquarius's quirky stubborn streak. Libra is waiting for a support from the Aquarius in this life full of adventures. They both like to live in a society and will participate in public affairs. They have a lot of friends, however they do not forget their own interests. While there are some aspects of their personalities that will irritate the other they will find it easier than most signs to compromise. They will be happy together, even without perfect sex. This is a sensual connection and a good forecast for the conjugal relations.
Aquarius's careless attitude toward love will baffle and finally enrage highly passionate Taurus. The Aquarius is inclined to analyze everything and not very interested in getting pleasure from making love. These two are stubborn in very different ways: Aquarius refuses to be conventional, while Taurus rigidly adheres to the values of family and security. Aquarius is interested in humane concerns; Taurus is single minded about himself and his possessions. This attitude could cause Taurus some major upsets as he will not be able to accept the problems of the whole world sharing his bed, which could cause Taurus to become over demanding and self-fish in Aquarius' eyes.
Leo can't get the cooperation or the admiration it requires, and Aquarius resents Leo's attempt to rule. They have different views of independence: to Aquarius it means freedom to explore new horizons; to Leo it means pursuing a glamorous, extravagant lifestyle. Aquarius is interested in the world; Leo is strictly interested in Leo. While these two will be attracted to one another, they are zodiac opposite which means that it can be bad as well as good connection.
This combination usually ends up getting into unpleasant terms after a little time. Fueled by Scorpio's volatility and Aquarius's imagination, sex is quite out of the ordinary. But Aquarius is turned off by Scorpio's powerful and jealous passions, and Scorpio is upset by Aquarius's unpredictable moods. The Aquarius is extremely sociable. The Scorpio is reserved. The happiness in bed will not help this couple to be happy together. Let everyone go their own way.
Uranus, the ruling planet of Aquarius, is full of surprises and sudden changes. This will suit the Gemini perfectly. Gemini are capable to subordinate to the Aquarius' will. There will be a lot of pleasant things in a bedroom. The changeable Gemini are easily influenced by the Aquarius' constant pressure. They love to socialize, they have a wide range of outside activities, and neither is particularly jealous or proprietary. Sexual attraction with them is intense, as Aquarius finds Gemini to be very attractive physically and mentally. This couple will be great lovers and fascinating friends. It is an interesting connection which may turn into a charming and long lasting marriage.
Both are mental signs rather than emotional, but Virgo looks on the darker side of life while Aquarius is imaginative and optimistic. There is no strong sexual attraction between them. Their goals are very different: Aquarius wants to be as brilliant as possible; Virgo wants to be as efficient as possible. The marriage is possible in case they both have strong feelings towards each other.
The combination usually has a great chance for success. These two are so innovative about lovemaking that they ought to charge admission. In addition, they inspire each other intellectually, for Aquarius has far-out, inventive ideas and Sagittarius is optimistic and visionary. They both are unpredictable, active and cheerful. They both like making love. They have rich imagination and they are full of interesting fantasies. They love to be the center of everyone's attention. Usually they are interesting people which are not suffering from jealousy. There is a very good chance for a successful relationship. Many of their values are alike and their need to be outgoing and sociable is inherent in both of these people. Aquarius and Sagittarius both understand the need to let the other be when they need their freedom.
They are perfectly compatible with each other. They are both inventive in love. They are both too rational, reasonable and moderate for deep and strong feelings. Given, that they are unsuited physically, they will not find this odd or a reason to allow hostilities into their relationship, for sex does not play a big role in either ones life as they are easily distracted by daily happenings and other peoples problems. In general it promises to be a peasant connection and reliable marriage as a result.
The sensitive Pisces is dependent on the Aquarius and constantly demanding the proofs of her love. The Aquarius feels depressed. The Pisces is a highly complex personality that must be the center of attention in his lovers life, and this is disheartening to Aquarius who believes in developing individuality. Pisces can have deep bouts of depression and if he perceives that Aquarius is unsympathetic to these he may cut Aquarius off completely and make his own private decision about their life together. This connection seems to be promising at first , but it will never get into a happy marriage.
I love procrastinating.

margherita sgorbissa
WWBL founder
Hello here is Margherita. I founded the Women Writing Berlin Lab in July 2017 because I felt the need to go back to what I like most in life: writing and connecting with other women. I used to coach some creative writing labs in Italy where I had the chance to explore the power of being and writing together, sharing feelings and feedback about a common passion. At the moment I am involved in few writing projects but I am mostly focused on my studies at the Humboldt University, where I study Gender Studies.

Hi! I'm Jenn and I help edit the blog and newsletter for WWBL. In my work with WWBL, I am eagerly developing the words and work of our writers.

Hey there, I'm Leih. As editor for the WWBL, assume every word we publish gets filtered through me so if you find a missing period that's on me too. My role is to guide our writers through the writing process and make sure that structure and clarity are supporting their authentic voice. Combing through all of our submissions, blog posts and event material is pure joy as reading, writing and storytelling are the foundation of my professional and personal life. While insatiably curious at heart, I don't need much more than a coffee, a book and a balcony.

text: I have a home computer. Do not know a lot about it all, but my friend uninstalled/reinstalled adobe flash player back onto our computer today. I had uninstalled it (or actually dis-enabled it) because I thought there were security problems with it in July 2016. Now, again we are having problems with pages downloading, for example. weather.com.......takes forever to download; message keeps popping up and disappearing quickly (Warning unresponsive plugin. may be busy or it may have stopped responding. You can stop plugin now or you can continue to see if the plugin will complete. Continue or Stop Plugin button is there. but trying to click stop plugin does not work.) The url (I think that is the right word) is https://weather.com/weather/today/l/our zipcode And finally the page loads but not all the page is there. We had this problem before we uninstalled/disabled adobe flash player. And now problem is back. I checked Mozilla website and they said the Adobe Flash Player was up to date, but when I clicked Adobe Acrobat Reader to update (which Mozilla told me needed updating), same thing happened as with weather.com. Please help. We have had Trend Micro for years and love it (until now if that is causing this problem).

Lifestyle in-home sessions are my photography love language. It feels like such a gift to be invited into a client's home to capture the real, authentic moments that happen when families are most comfortable.
How it works is I'll come in and check out the light in your home. It doesn't matter if you live in a house of glass or a dungeon - don't worry - I will find the light. Then I will ask your family to show me the spots in the house where you spend the most time doing the things you love - maybe reading on the couch, snuggling or jumping on mom and dad's bed, eating donuts around the kitchen counter, or having a dance party. Whatever it is - you do you! And I will do my best to play along with your tribe while also staying at a distance so you feel like you can interact authentically.
If all of this sounds intimidating or you feel like your house isn't "picture-worthy", I encourage you to give it a shot. I can guarantee you will treasure the images for generations to come.
Contact me for more information about my lifestyle sessions. I promise you won't regret it!

Kristen + Sean | NC/SC Mountain Wedding
Kristen and Sean are an adventurous couple and their wedding fit them so perfectly the day couldn't be contained in one location. After getting ready for the wedding at a golf resort in Brevard, North Carolina, the entire wedding party took a party bus to the gorgeous Pretty Place Chapel in South Carolina for the ceremony. Following the vows, the wedding party headed to several scenic overlooks in Caesars Head State Park for photos and sight seeing before capping the night at the Brevard Lumber Yard in North Carolina.
How would you describe your wedding day?
The day of our dreams. Every moment was perfect and us and we got to celebrate with our favorite people.
Which details of your day stand out the most?
The weather cooperating perfectly with our travel and photos and our guests. The fog enveloping our wedding and then lifting throughout the ceremony. The beautiful storm rolling over the mountains just as our guests pulled off. The rain pouring until we got to our picture locations and then breaking. The amazing party with friends and family.
What was your favorite part about your wedding venue?
It is the most gorgeous location and the fog lifting throughout the ceremony filled us with joy and made the most beautiful pictures. The ceremony was the only time some of our guests were able to celebrate with us and it was perfect and wonderful!
What did your guests mention the most after the wedding?
That it was so us and was the best wedding they had ever been too (and then would give details as to why, so I think they really meant it and weren't just saying it)!
Do you have any advice for future engaged couples?
Pick what matters at the beginning before you look for ideas. Remind yourself as you go of what didn't matter in the beginning to help keep you on budget. Enjoy being engaged some before planning too much, and then enjoy the process! Your love and having your best people with you on the day will make it perfect no matter what you decide in the planning process, so remember that!
How do you plan to use your photos?
FOR EVERYTHING!! They are so wonderful and captured our perfect day. We have plans for an album, scrapbooking, some to hang on the walls, and whatever else we can think to do with them. If the wife gets her way, there will probably be some kitschy coasters or pillows printed up too.
Are there any fun stories from your wedding day you'd like to share!
There are so many: the flower girl picking some of the flowers back up, photos with umbrellas, the rain pouring to break as soon as we walked out of the bus to take pictures, dodging the cousin's questions about where we were staying so they didn't show up to prank, delaying the cookie cake cutting because one of the kids had to decorate just a little more, our friend the musician playing more songs than planned and our flexible DJ enjoying every minute of it, the DJ making sure the bride didn't get her own delicious BBQ so she didn't dirty her dress, our wonderful photographers being on point and flexible when we wanted photos with different groups of people (her family, his family, just the siblings, these friends, those friends, and so on), so many more.

text: A still-life of flowers by Paul Gauguin—which hung for 30 years in the home of a retired Manhattan antiques dealer, who did not know it was by the artist—has been rediscovered by a Connecticut auction house. Authenticated by the Paris-based Wildenstein Institute, the painting "certainly appears" to be the long-lost still-life Summer Flowers in a Goblet listed in the artist's catalogue raisonné, says the Gauguin specialist, Sylvie Crussard. The work is now due to be sold on 29 June at Litchfield County Auction, with an estimate of US$800,000 to US$1.2m.

Cabin in the Sky is a 1940 American musical with music by Vernon Duke, lyrics by John La Touche, and a musical book by Lynn Root. The musical premiered on Broadway at the Martin Beck Theatre on October 25, 1940. It closed on March 8, 1941 after a total of 156 performances. Directed by Albert Lewis and staged by George Balanchine, the stage production starred Ethel Waters as Petunia Jackson, Dooley Wilson as "Little Joe" Jackson, Lena Horne as Georgia Brown, Rex Ingram as Lucifer Junior, and Todd Duncan as The Lawd's General.
A motion picture based on the musical was produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and released in 1943. The film version of Cabin in the Sky also starred Waters as Petunia and Ingram as Lucifer Junior. Eddie "Rochester" Anderson of Jack Benny fame took over the role of Little Joe, Kenneth Lee Spencer portrayed The General, and Lena Horne co-starred as the temptress Georgia Brown in her first and only leading role in an MGM musical. Louis Armstrong was also featured in the film as one of Lucifer Junior's minions, and Duke Ellington and his Orchestra have a showcase musical number in the film.

Insight Meditation
Insight Meditation aims to free the mind from the distortions of self-centeredness, negativity and confusion. Through intensive practice of moment-to-moment investigation of the body-mind process, the mind gradually sees more clearly into the nature of itself. Such clear seeing leads to freedom from the attachments and misconceptions that cause our suffering, and allows us to open to a path of wisdom and compassion.
Insight Meditation is a powerful tool for liberating ourselves from the bondage of our conditioning. Seeing life as a constantly changing process, one begins to accept pleasure and pain, fear and joy, and all aspects of life with increasing balance and equanimity.
This practice, also known as Vipassana, originated 2500 years ago with the teachings of the Buddha and is still a vital part of the Theravada Buddhist traditions of Southeast Asia.
Robert Brumet has practiced Insight Mediation since 1988. He has been leading a local sangha and conducting meditation retreats throughout North America since 1995. In the early 1990s he received vipassana facilitator training from Shinzen Young. In January 2000 he graduated from the Community Dharma Leader training program, sponsored by Spirit Rock Meditation Center. Robert is one of the founding members of Mid-America Dharma.
Robert is the guiding teacher of Unity Sangha, which meets every Thursday from 7:00- 8:30 pm at Unity Temple on the Plaza, in Classroom C. Beginners and experienced meditators alike are invited to sit with us. A period of meditation, a Dharma talk and group discussion are included in most sessions. Individual instruction is given as needed.

By Paul Birdwell (firstname.lastname@example.com)
If there is one question that is always on the mind of the person at a company that is making a recommendation or the final call on whether a company should sponsor an event or not, that question in today's results driven world often is:
"What will be my company's return on investment (ROI) on this sponsorship deal?"
That is a question that has often been hard to quantify in the past in the world of sponsorship, but in this age of technological wonder it's the billions of bits of "data" that make it a lot easier for both events with sponsorship opportunities and companies making sponsorship investments to see just what kind of bang they are getting for their sponsorship Buck.
Recently, Sam Yardley, who works for Inside Two Circles a London-based "data driven" company within in the WPP Group that helps sports organizations build stronger relationships with their customers, wrote a blog post at IEG (www.sponsorship.com) about the growing importance and use of data in sponsorship that is great read on the future direction of sponsorship:
Game Changer: The Growing Role of Data in Sponsorship, Sam Yardley, IEG Sponsorship Blog
"Data, and the ability to access and analyze it, already is having a profound, across-the-board impact on sponsorship—from the evaluation, selection, activation and measurement of partnerships by brand marketers to the selling, negotiating and fulfillment of those partnerships by rightsholders of all types and sizes.
But as important as the current developments are, we have just begun to scratch the surface of what data can deliver to properties and their partners.
Audience remains at the heart of the sponsorship proposition. However, it is no longer exposure, impressions generated or image transfer that drives and determines value. Rather—thanks to data—it is the ability to engage, involve and connect with fans that raises sports, events, entertainment, nonprofit, cultural, association and other partnerships above mere marketing.
This is not a recent change; at least not on one side of the fence. Data-led, digitally enabled personalization has been at the heart of many brand marketing initiatives since the turn of the century. More recently, as the technology cost of delivering personalization has been reduced, rightsholders in some areas of entertainment—cinema, for example—have begun to take the initiative in this space. Most others, however, are still playing catch-up.
Data-based personalization changes the conversation from which rightsholders can deliver the biggest numbers (reach, broadcast ratings, etc.) to which can deliver the deepest insights, share the most detailed information regarding actual online and real-world behavior, and drive the most actionable results.
In this way, data levels the playing field, making sponsorship about quality, not quantity. It changes the conversation from exposing sponsors to a large amount of people (which shouldn't have been the idea anyway) to identifying, understanding and communicating one-on-one with a brand's best targets."
In the above section of Sam Yardley's blog post he is right-on-point of increasingly what marketing decision-makers at companies are asking events offering sponsorship opportunities to deliver which is to create an environment where….
The sponsoring company can directly engage and then have an opportunity to do business with the consumer
…..and that is a mandate that event organizers and the people that represent sponsorship opportunities in the marketplace must embrace by utilizing as much data as possible to deliver a great experience to consumers or risk becoming an afterthought in today's data-driven world.
Luckily, there are some amazing data-driven companies now cropping-up across the United States including Umbel in Austin, Texas which is doing some terrific work in helping events and organizations to harness and utilize the massive amounts of data they collect on their customers and fans.
The Umbel Blog…..
Truth in Data – The Ultimate Data Blog for Innovators in Sports, Media and Entertainment
….is now a must read for all the employees at the Roaring Fork Agency that now bring with them reams of data to pitch companies sponsorship opportunities that help to power the underlying value behind those sponsorships. A few of Umbel's blog posts that we have learned a tremendous amount from are below:
8 Ways That College Teams Can Prove Sponsorship Value to Brands, Trips Reddy, Umbel
"What ever college team needs to do to attract and retain premium sponsors
1. Grow Size & Engagement of Your Fanbase
2. Own Your Fan Data & Relationships
3. Use Fan Data to Prove Brand Affinities to Sponsors
4. Prove The Value of Online & Offline Fans to Sponsors
5. Enhance Fan Experiences Inside Stadiums
6. Beef up Data Security to Protect Against Breaches
7. Understand The Priorities & Preferences of Millennials
8. Add Sponsorships That Actually Help Students"
The first four items in Trips Reddy's above Umbel blog post….
"1. Grow Size & Engagement of Your Fanbase
2. Own Your Fan Data & Relationships
3. Use Fan Data to Prove Brand Affinities to Sponsors
4. Prove The Value of Online & Offline Fans to Sponsors"
…have become increasingly important in each and every sponsorship pitch that the Roaring Fork Agency now does, and it's now almost becoming expected that sponsorship opportunities should be able to produce "digital-like" bottom-line data metric projections before the sponsorship investment is made by a company which is something we work very hard to quantify before ever picking-up the phone to pitch a sponsorship.
Another recent Umbel blog post that caught our attention here at the Roaring Fork Agency deals with…
4 Data Points All Sports Teams Should Be Using, Sarah Meredith, Umbel
….which goes right to the heart of still a major problem today which is sports teams and organizations are sitting on mountains of very valuable data that they need to learn how to successfully leverage to not only generate more revenue, but to also better serve the most important thing in their lives: their paying fans and customers!
"There is so much talk in the sports industry right now about making programs (collegiate and professional) both smarter and safer.
With an increase in research on the effectiveness of safety equipment and individual performance during a game, in addition to advances in wearable and equipment technology, everyone is talking about collecting more data on teams and players.
But are sports teams really collecting all the data that's available to them? As someone who talks to Marketing, Ticketing and Sponsorship teams, I would answer that data collection at most sports organizations is still fairly narrow.
What Data is Missing?
The data being collected on players and teams helps improve performance and reduce injuries, but teams are missing the other half of the equation: the fans.
Teams are constantly trying to ensure that they provide the best fan experience both at the game and online. By expanding the data they are collecting on players to include fans, sports teams will be able to create personalized experiences both online and offline. So what type of data should sports teams be thinking about?
Transaction Data: Teams most likely have merchandise, ticketing or concessions data, but is it organized enough to where you can see trends and understand your fans? Are you able to see the relationship between who is in your venue and purchasing concessions and merchandise? Chances are your team does not have the bandwidth to mine this data quickly and take action on it. There are many solutions out there that can enhance your existing "plumbing" (like Umbel)."
Read the rest of the above Umbel blog post here…
4 Data Points All Sports Teams Should Be Using, Sarah Meredith, Umbel
In the end when it comes down to whether a company will make a sponsorship investment or not, it's often a "gut call" by a decision-maker based upon their opinion of the quality of the event or organization and the individual pitching the sponsorship opportunity, but in just the last couple of years it's now often the underlying data that drives sponsorship investment decisions which makes it vitally important for people pitching sponsorships like the Roaring Fork Agency to have "the proof" and be ready and able to present that data evidence in the best way possible to that ultimate decision-maker.
Another great piece on the growing importance of measuring the ultimate value of sponsorships was produced by McKinsey & Company a few years ago that has been a guide of sorts for those of us here at the Roaring Fork Agency that are always looking for all the help we can get!
Is sports sponsorship worth it?, Jeff Jacobs, Pallav Jain, and Kushan Surama, McKinsey & Company
"Sponsorships have become an integral component of marketing strategy. Yet many companies still do not effectively quantify the impact of these expenditures, even for events requiring significant spending such as the World Cup. A systematic commitment to a menu of analytics approaches allows executives to identify sponsorships that create value as well as those that don't live up to their names."
The above McKinsey & Company piece of sports sponsorship is a great read, but then so is their Marketing & Sales webpage which has lots of great information about many important issues driving marketing & sales both in the Unites State and around the world.
Bottom-Line: Data has never been more important and it's now the underlying data that is driving the ultimate value of sponsorships in the marketplace, and it's up to people pitching sponsorships like us here at the Roaring Fork Agency to make sure when we are on the phone or walking into an office to pitch a sponsorship opportunity that we have the data the potential sponsoring company will want to see, to understand, and to rely on that will make it that much easier for them to say that magic word:

After Party #19 - Samantha Kalman & Jonathan Tweet/
Game Designers Samantha Kalman & Jonathan Tweet joined us for an evening of nerding out over video games and the process of creating them.
During the Seattle Match Game our contestants Lara and Gina gave us one of the earliest scoring rounds. They also found out about Jonathan's one track mind. One of them even used it to her advantage for the win.
During the discussion section we did discuss video games and quite a bit. We also discussed tabletop and RPG games along with other creative outlets. There was some game nerding out but there was also talk for people new to games.
