Cammie Allie, CPM®, ARM®
In October 2009, Cammie Allie, CPM®, ARM®, saw the realization of her dream when she founded Fortress Property Management, specializing in multifamily property management. After pursuing two dissatisfying careers during her young adult life, Cammie Allie discovered IREM (the Institute of Real Estate Management) after she'd been a site manager for six years. Seeing its value, she set out to obtain her ARM® (Accredited Residential Manager) certification. In 2001, she began attending meetings, and she was chairing the local ARM® committee by 2002, thanks to mentoring from Julie Muir, CPM®. After receiving her ARM®, she immediately set her sights on her CPM®, which she earned in 2008.
Within her tenure of property management, Cammie enjoyed working with such companies as Parker Investments, U.S. Bank Trust Group, Summit Property Management, Guardian Management, Harsch Investment, SkyNat Property Management, and GSL Properties. Because of the wide array of properties she has directly supervised, she is highly experienced in all types of multifamily management, from conventional property to Section 8, and has several years of tax credit experience. This has led to an impressive perspective on how various property management is conducted throughout the Portland metro area. Locally, she has held the following positions: ARM® committee chair, 2002 to 2004; AMO® committee chair, 2005; program committee chair, 2006; VP of Education, 2007; VP of Communications, 2008; second Member at Large, 2009; third Member at Large, 2010. On a national level, she has held the following positions: national governing councilor from 2006 to present; membership committee member from 2006 to 2008; JPM committee member, 2008; vice chair of membership, 2009; chair of membership committee, 2010. Moreover, for the local chapter of IREM, she is the former recipient of the presidents' award in 2004 and 2005 and the CPM® candidate of the year award winner in 2006 and 2007.

Most showroom stock four-strokes are delivered in such a high state of tune that it isnt easy to get more power out of them. It takes the expertise of a skilled engine tuner to even try–and they dont always succeed. But, as we careen towards a four-stroke future, the four-stroke hop-up business will solidify. The MXA wrecking crew sat down with a host of four-stroke tuners to analyze the ten most basic ways to get more power out of a thumper.
There isn't an easier performance mod than pouring VP Racing's Ultimate 4 race gas in the tank. It only takes a few seconds and offers instant rewards. The increase in octane, power yielding oxygenents and hydrocarbons (with a greater energy potential) results in a fuel that can produce 6 percent more power than standard pump gas. That's a three horsepower increase on a 450 and two horses more on a 250.
With prices running as high as $800 for a titanium system, performance four-stroke pipes have become status symbols. As with a two-strokeÕs expansion chamber, a four-stroke exhaust system is tuned to produce the optimum powerband. The major elements of pipe design are: (1) head pipe length, (2) head pipe diameter, (3) overall tuned length, (3) taper of S-bends, (4) diameter of the muffler core and (5) length of the muffler. Unlike Formula 1 or road racing exhaust pipes, a four-stroke pipe has to deliver a broad and usable powerband–instead of maximum horsepower.
Since the day that Nicolaus August Otto fired up the first four-stroke engine in 1876, four-stroke designers have been boring them out. An increase in cubic centimeters is the time honored method of making a four-stroke faster. There is one caveat, however. Most four-stroke engines, save for XR50s and TT-R125s, are already at the legal displacement limit. Thus, an increase in bore will make your 250 or 450 four-stroke illegal for AMA racing. The rule, however, doesn't apply to the Vet classes or play bikes. While few racers would consider a big-bore 450, a large displacement 250 could be your ultimate Vet weapon. Expect to gain two to three horsepower. Rick Peterson Motorsports makes 302cc versions of all the popular 250 four-strokes.
Stroking a four-stroke engine also increases the displacement (making the bike illegal for AMA Pro racing). To stroke an engine, a tuner relocates the big-end bearing further outboard on the crank halves. In most cases, the connecting rod is shortened the same distance that the big end bearing is moved. This is done because the larger sweep of the big-end bearing would otherwise send the piston into the valves. When the rod is shortened, the piston tops out at the standard top-dead-center measurement.
At bottom-dead-center, the shorter rod and repositioned big-end bearing bring the piston a few millimeters further down the bore. A piston with a skirt cutaway is usually required to provide enough crank clearance. A big-bore gives more sheer horsepower, while stroking a thumper broadens the torque curve.
Performance cams are available with lobes that are timed to open the valves earlier and to keep them open longer (known as dwell). As a rule of thumb, the best high-performance cams do their best work in the range where the power is already concentrated. The most noticeable camshaft change is in the way the power is delivered. Automobile hop-up shops have done a bumper business in cams for decades. Motocross racers have not embraced different cam shapes, but this will change.
Unlike on a two-stroke, four-stroke porting is done in the head. There are no ports in the cylinder wall of a four-stroke. To properly port the head on a four-stroke requires a flow-bench. A flow-bench measures how much vacuum it takes to draw air out of the intake port and exhaust flange. Porting and polishing the cavities of a four-strokes cylinder head can increase the flow rate for more performance. In some cases, larger valves can be fitted to improve the flow rate, but this mod normally only works on four-stroke engines of a lesser tune.
One of the easiest ways to get a harder hit and better low-to-mid power is to increase the compression ratio. On a two-stroke engine, compression is increased by milling the head (which decreases combustion chamber volume). On a four-stroke, the compression ratio is increased by using a piston with a higher dome. A high-compression piston typically delivers more punch at the cost of some top-end. Stock compression is typically in the 12:1 range. It can be upped as high as 13:1. Be careful, increases in compression might require higher octane gasoline.
As with a two-stroke engine, carburetors offer wonderful tuning opportunities. On most small displacement play bikes, like TT-Rs, KLXs and XRs, it is de rigeur to replace the stock carb with a larger one. The larger the bore of the carb, which is measured in millimeters, the more fuel it can flow. As a rule, big carbs increase mid-and-up power (at the cost of low-end). Why do big carbs hurt low-end power? In order to flow fuel through a larger opening, the engine has to create more vacuum. The larger the carb throat the greater the vacuum required to draw the fuel into the engine. At low rpm settings, many four-stroke engines donÕt produce enough air velocity to get the fuel flowing–thus, low-end power is lost until the air flow is sufficient (at higher rpm). Conversely, smaller carbs flow fuel more easily, start better and have better throttle response.
The extra weight and torquier power delivery makes a four-stroke tough on clutches. If you pump up the horsepower with race gas, exhaust systems, big-bore kits, camshafts or flowed heads, the stock clutch may not be sufficient. Hinson makes baskets, pressure plates and hubs that guarantee longer life.
The Yamaha YZ250F and YZ450F can have their lubrication systems switched from dry sump to wet sump with aftermarket kits. These kits eliminate the YZ-Fs oil tank and, in the process, save two pounds of oil and oil lines. Wet sumping doesnÕt necessarily make a bike faster, but it does make it lighter. Wet sump YZ-Fs will need to have their oil changed more frequently.
In the future, a new breed of four-stroke oil will increase horsepower. These new oils will have the lubricating qualities of a 30-weight, but the viscosity of a 0-weight (comparable to water). These low viscosity oils will reduced drag on the mechanical parts and improve everything from throttle response to top-end.

As a former Marriott Corp. vice president, Jean Beuning spent most of her work day "barking" orders (or shall we say setting expectations) for employees at hotels across the country. But 15 years ago she traded all the benefits and perks of a big-time executive job for a position where she's the recipient of the barking. The only difference: the customers are doing all the barking, literally!
Jean is the Top Dog (CEO) of Top Dog Country Club in New Germany, Minn., a tiny suburb west of Minneapolis. Top Dog is a premier facility (think, country club) where the dogs get treated like vacationing guests. "It's like Club Med for dogs meets Marriott hospitality. I run it like a Marriott Hotel with that level of service and quality and attention to detail," she says.
Jean should know. She was a Field Assignment Manager . . . a troubleshooter for Marriott, charged with fixing broken hotels that weren't performing well from a revenue standpoint. "It was my job to go in, diagnose the problems and get them on a plan to profitability," Jean explains. She was also a hotel general manager for eight years and helped the company, as a regional vice president, bring on ExecuStay by Marriott, a new division that focused on short-term corporate housing.
Eventually, Jean's passion for dogs and desire to start her own business surpassed the benefits of a secure career at a Fortune 500 corporation. She left Marriott to pursue her dream.
"I can't think of a single speaker where I didn't take away a nugget or two that I've implemented in my business, and have seen some results."Jean Beuning
When she opened Top Dog Country Club, it was a new concept in dog care with groups of dogs playing free in outside yards. "People thought I was crazy because there was nothing like this. In fact, it was before most dog parks existed," says Jean. "Top Club was the first facility of its kind anywhere in the country."
Top Dog has 24,000 square feet of outdoor play in four separate yards—an enormous facility. Jean groups the dogs by size and temperament. The outdoor play areas are all AstroTurf laid over a drainage grid, and an asphalt base. The good news is no digging, mud, yellow grass or lawn maintenance, but the AstroTurf has to be replaced every six or seven years at an expense of $120,000.
"I was also the first facility to put in a swimming pool," she says. A swimming pool for dogs posed unique challenges. The pool's skimmers had to be upgraded, and it needed extra filtration. "It's a maintenance nightmare, frankly, but the dogs love it," she smiles. Jean and her staff of 20 teach some of her guests how to swim if they don't already know how. For breeds that can't quite master the dog paddle, life guards and life jackets are nearby.
While outside, Top Dog staff members are constantly engaging the dogs in social activities. "When we're out with the dogs, we're not just throwing a tennis ball. We engage them. We teach them good social skills," Jean explains.
"We've taken dogs that were not successful in other environments, not because they're bad dogs but because they didn't have strong pack leadership. We work with those dogs and re-socialize them," she says.
When the dogs aren't outside, they're housed in a "suite" eating, napping and just chilling. You won't find TVs at Top Dog—a gimmick at some so-called luxury kennels. Jean laughed at the trend saying, "dogs don't perceive television like humans. They see shadows, flickers of light, blurred images, and hear noises. They do not actually see Lassie at the well barking for Timmy. TVs are simply a distraction for dogs that don't get enough physical exercise."
Top Dog has 55 suites, seven of those are designated family suites for owners who "check in" multiple dogs.
Most of Top Dog's customers come from the Twin Cities metropolitan area. A small percentage of these die-hard fans come from as far away as Chicago, Phoenix, Colorado and New York City to board their precious pups with her. Jean's country club for dogs has been featured worldwide, including Discovery Channel's Animal Planet, NBC's Today show, in the NY Times, and the World Harold in Paris. These customers jump through a lot of hoops just to get their dogs to Jean's facility.
Customers pay more for this high-quality care, of course, but owners love their dogs and often don't care about the money. Dogs stay at Top Dog for $55 a day or $65 a day over holidays and summer weekends. She also offers pick-up and delivery service for owners who don't want to make the drive out to Top Dog's rural location.
As of November 2015, Jean's been working with chair Brian Davis and Vistage for about a year. There were several elements of the Vistage experience that piqued her interest from the beginning.
"Vistage has given me a reason to step outside of my business and learn from other business owners and hear their perspectives," she says. Jean has realized in many cases that her issues are not unique to her business. "I like to hear other people's experiences, and how they've handled things, or how they've approached situations."
"Another benefit has been from the speakers," Jean observes. She's taken a lot of value from every presentation. "I can't think of a single one where I didn't take away a nugget or two that I've implemented in my business, and have seen some results."
Jean recalls presenter Scott Schwefel; who took the group through the Insights Discovery tool. The tool is designed to help leaders and co-workers gain deep insights around communication styles, and learn how to communicate effectively with those that have an opposite style. "I implemented this in a staff meeting, challenging my group to select a team member that they struggle to communicate effectively with and then use the tool to develop a plan on how to change the way they approach that individual, and tailor their message to that person's communication style. I've already seen an impact on how they work together", she says.
A speaker who introduced Traction—the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS)—to Brian's group also left a lasting impression on Jean. "I love the whole idea of getting the right people on the bus, and then making sure they're all in the right seats."
In fact, finding employees who fit Top Dog's culture and hard work environment is one of her biggest challenges. Top Dog is open every day 6 am to 9 pm. "My biggest challenge is finding people that have the work ethic," she says. And, of course, people have to love dogs . . . in fact they have to be passionate. The level of care is high with a ratio of one staff for every 5-8 dogs, a ratio you won't even find at child daycare centers. "We have a lot of special needs dogs that stay with us, including dogs from 8 weeks of age to 19 years", Beuning says.
Every employee knows Top Dog's unshakable promise to its clients, even before they start. "At Top Dog Country Club, it is ALL ABOUT THE DOGS. They are the #1 priority in every decision we make. Our core values? First, act with honesty and integrity always," she shares. "The two most important characteristics anyone can have is honesty and integrity. I don't care how smart you are, I don't care how charismatic you are, I don't care how good you are at your job, if you aren't a person of honesty and integrity, to me, you're not worth a lot," she muses.
The second of Top Dog's three core values? Do the right thing . . . no matter what, and without compromise. Top Dog's third core value is just that . . . Add value . . . deliver more than is expected. She concedes Top Dog is more expensive than other facilities, but when you look at the level of care and services received, the value to the clients is unmatched. There's not a competitive facility that comes close, but she's not about to slow down or take her eye off her values and goals.
"The most valuable lesson I have learned in business came from Mr. Bill Marriott. He taught me to run my business with the idea that 'Success in never final', and to that end I never allow my team to 'get comfortable' and take the business for granted. I challenge them every single day to do better . . . to earn our reputation for excellence."
That's where Vistage has helped, too, challenging her to do better and improve her company operations. The accountability is great, she says. "When we make commitments, Brian holds us to them. He records every one and follows up every month."
Regarding Top Dog Country Club and my decision 15 years ago to leave my corporate life, "I am very blessed to have taken my passion and made it my life's work"

Charles Richardson Photographs, 1952-1954, AIS.2013.10, Archives & Special Collections, University of Pittsburgh Library System
At the age of 22 Charles Richardson arrived in Pittsburgh in April 1952 on the Pennsylvania Railroad from his native Dallas, Texas, eventually finding work at Westinghouse Electric in East Pittsburgh. He commuted to work from his rooming house in Oakland by boarding a train at the Shadyside station. Shortly after beginning his explorations of Pittsburgh on foot, he bought a cheap Kodak, his first camera, to record some of what he was seeing. He graduated to a Sport Rolleiflex to get better negatives, using the bathroom of his rooming house as a darkroom to develop his film and print his photos.
According to Richardson, he only kept and eventually published his very best photographs, which comprise the 46 images in his book, Pittsburgh, published by Blurb. The photographs were taken between 1952 and 1955 when the mills were in full production, and at a time he believes were some of the best days of Pittsburgh.
His job at Westinghouse as an order service clerk took him all over the plant where switchgear was made, including the offices where many of the engineers worked. He witnessed the testing of circuit breakers in response to man-made lightning strikes, and thus was born his desire to become an engineer and he began night classes at Pitt.
Inspired by his work at Westinghouse, he quit and enrolled full-time at the University of Pittsburgh, graduating with a B.S. (1957) and a Ph.D. (1962). He changed his major to Physics and received his Bachelor of Science degree in 1957. While he was at Pitt, he worked part-time in the Engineering Research Lab on Fifth Avenue. Here he earned money as a photographer including taking pictures of bomb racks which the Navy paid Pitt to stress until they failed. He also took pictures documenting the equipment as well as head shots of some of the staff to use on their resumes. He even copied a photograph of the Dean's pretty wife sitting in a tree.
Westinghouse again touched his life as he worked two summers in the Research Laboratory. He enrolled in graduate school and received his PhD in 1962. He then accepted an appointment at the University of Washington, and later joined the faculty at the University of Arkansas in 1966 from which he retired in 1997. He and his wife still live in Fayetteville, AR.
This collection consists of 46 photographic images taken by Charles Richardson between 1952 and 1955 while he was living in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh and working in East Pittsburgh at Westinghouse. Richardson took pictures of the things that interested him, capturing views of Pittsburgh neighborhoods and people as well as industrial views of Braddock, Homestead, West Mifflin, Clairton, Verona, and West Virginia. All images in this collection appear online and as well as appear in Richardson's book, Pittsburgh published by Blurb in 2013. The descriptions provided for the collection originate from the published captions with minor edits.

Asap Ferg X Rob Stone X Hot991
Last night Asap Ferg and Rob Stone made there way to Clifton park NY for the last stop of there Turnt and Burnt Tour. If you have never been to a ASAP show it is definitely one to see. From the crowd interactions to spraying water and of course the epic mosh pit, it gets pretty crazy but most of all it becomes a great night and show to remember. Before going inside I hung out side in the cold with of few fans of the show and gave out some Hot 991 wristband. Here is some pictures from last night of the Turnt and Burnt Tour fans.

First FOUR Full-Size and hence LARGE.
The Sony a77 II, ordered through Amazon BUT fulfilled (i.e., shipped) by 'Cameta Camera' arrived today, Friday, August 28, 2015 — albeit with Deanna going to the Post Office to pick it up.
Yes, we have a video of me unpacking it. So far, so good. Everything that Cameta said would be in the box was in the box and THERE is, contrary to what folks (including Cameta) had said, a Sony lens hood for the Sony 16-50mm SSM lens. That was a bonus since this is a $75 hood!
I took my time unpacking and sorting out all the bits. The Sony battery, with the Sony charger, took over 4 hours to fully charge. Instruction manual says 3 BUT maybe it was because it was the first charge. More about the Cameta bundle in another post.
Once I had the battery and my 64GB card (as opposed to the one supplied by Cameta) I felt obliged to snap some pictures.
These were taken WITHOUT ANYTHING being set on the Menus — other than date and time. Just set the Focus Mode Dial to 'A'. That was all. The pictures shown above were shot on 'P' and 'Auto'. I am reasonably happy. Tomorrow I will customize the camera.
It feels good and I love the illuminated viewfinder.
So far, so good.

American electronic musician, DJ, record producer, singer, songwriter, and photographer Moby (Richard Melville Hall) was born September 11, 1965 in Harlem, New York. He was raised by his mother in Darien, Connecticut. His middle name and the nickname "Moby" were given to him by his parents because of an ancestral relationship to Moby Dick author Herman Melville: who is his great-great-great-grand uncle. During the 1980s, Hall played guitar for the hardcore punk band Vatican Commandos. Later in the decade, he was a guitarist for the alternative rock group Ultra Vivid Scene and appeared in the video for their 1989 single "Mercy Seat."
Moby's first live solo performance was witnessed by manager Eric Härle, who described it by saying: The music was amazing, but the show was riddled with technical mishaps. It left me very intrigued and impressed in a strange way. Moby released his first singles for Instinct under several different names, such as Barracuda, Brainstorm, and UHF. This was a rap record with vocalist Jimmy Mack, titled Time's Up, featuring several remixes and stems for remixing. His first single under the pseudonym 'Moby' "Mobility" was released in 1991. However it was The remix of Mobility's b-side, Go (Woodtick Mix), a progressive house track using the string line from "Laura Palmer's Theme" from the TV drama Twin Peaks, which became a hit And earned him his first appearance on Top of the Pops. He released his eponymous debut in 1992. Some of his other singles in 1992 and 1993 were "Next Is the E", "Thousand" (with its 1,000 Beats Per Minute tempo), and "Voodoo Child.

Mayoral Manifesto 2016 - 21st Century Education and Skills
Bristol is a great city and it can be so much better!
The Green Mayor and Bristol's Green Party Council candidates wish to see Bristol continue as the leading Green city in the UK with a clear vision of a more sustainable, better future. Our particular focus in 2016 is on Clean and Affordable Energy, A Decent Home for Everyone, 21st Century Education and Skills and Sustainable Transport and Clean Air.
Tony Dyer - Green Party candidate for mayor
21st Century Education and Skills
The Green Party believes that education should encourage social cohesion and provide everyone with the knowledge and full range of skills they require to participate fully in society and lead a fulfilled life. Everyone in Bristol has the right to a good education. Young children should have high quality early years provision strongly based on play, and a place at their local primary school. Older children deserve a secondary school that can respond to the needs of every child in the area. Young adults have the right to accessible and supported routes into work or higher education. Older adults need varied and affordable classes to help them develop and/or maintain essential or sought after skills.
A Green Mayor and Green Party Councillors will look to do the following:
Early Years and Primary
Children should emerge from their early years as inquisitive and confident learners.
- We will support proposals for an early years play-based curriculum that promotes the development of a wide range of skills not just academic.
- We will promote Time to Play, the NUT's play policy, which sets out a vision of a play based approach to early years and primary education as an integral part of learning.
Ensure a sufficient supply of school places
Place planning has become increasingly problematic for all local education authorities and a fragmented system causes distress and damage to all concerned.
- We will support proposals to ensure sufficient places for all children including opportunities to reduce costs by sharing facilities with community and commercial organisations.
- Maintained and academy schools, that are their own admission authority, may be failing to comply with the legal duties placed on them with regards to admissions. We will aim to ensure that schools are complying with their duties in this respect.
Build learning communities
New school partnerships, or 'school to school' support, will be explored fully.
- We will aim to build neighbourhood learning communities: partnerships of schools, colleges, universities, libraries and children's centres, throughout the city.
- Collaboration of this kind, linking education, care and cultural providers, is already working effectively in other areas, with significant benefits to everyone in the community.
Increase vocational training
- We will work with local partners and central government to increase the availability of vocational and apprentice-based training. There will be particular focus on Green work force training to help individuals attain the skills needed for the future, the skills needed to build a better Bristol.
- We will negotiate with central government for the localisation of skills and education funding for Post-16 training and apprenticeships, and will work towards delivering a local version of the Educational Maintenance Allowance, to support young people from low-income families.
- We will work with local training and education providers to provide short and medium courses to ensure Bristol has the best trained and most flexible workforce in the UK thus becoming a magnet for new employers..
Support lifelong learning
Lifelong learning and Vocational Training reduce unemployment, increase the ability to earn a good income and allow business to respond to market changes.
- We will strive to build stronger, more equal communities through providing classes that will: help eradicate illiteracy and innumeracy, improve IT skills, teach ESOL, help with financial planning, and provide training in new skills.

The Lexington man charged with attempted murder for an incident Monday night in Welcome has been given a $1 million bond, according to arrest warrants.
Richard Howard Cannon, 56, of 402 Hillside Drive, was charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder, felony flee/elude arrest with motor vehicle, failure to stop for stop sign/flashing red light, failure to wear seat belt, reckless driving, failure to heed light or siren and resisting a public officer. Cannon was served Tuesday with warrants at Wake Forest Baptist Health — Lexington Medical Center pending his release from the hospital, according to the Davidson County Sheriff's Office.
A magistrate visited the hospital and set the bond, said a spokeswoman in the Davidson County Clerk of Court's office. Cannon was listed in stable condition Wednesday morning at the medical center, a hospital spokeswoman said.
At approximately 10:20 p.m. Monday, Cannon shot a rifle in the door jam and window of a Ford pickup truck occupied by a male and female, according to a release from the sheriff's office. Arrest warrants list the woman as Sylvia Hoke Hamilton and the man as Tommy Lane Crotts.
Hamilton was grazed with a bullet on her back, according to the sheriff's office. Davidson County Sheriff David Grice said Cannon and the woman were acquaintances, and the woman had a restraining order on Cannon.
According to arrest warrants, Cannon attempted to elude Cpl. C. Stilwell with the Davidson County Sheriff's Office. Shortly after the shooting, a deputy stopped at Wooten Graphics on Hinkle Lane to investigate a suspicious car in the business parking lot.
When the deputy approached the vehicle, Cannon rose up from a concealed position and sped away, according to the release from the sheriff's office. A deputy followed in pursuit as the vehicle traveled about 200 yards on Hinkle Lane to Old U.S. Highway 52, where Cannon lost control and crashed into a service station sign, the sheriff's office said.
N.C. Highway Patrol spokeswoman Pam Kearns said Cannon was traveling at an estimated speed of 70 miles per hour as he attempted to elude authorities. When he crashed into a sign, Cannon was traveling in a 1997 Toyota at about 50 mph in a 35-mph zone.
The sheriff's office has not specified a motive for the shooting.
Darrick Ignasiak can be reached at 249-3981, ext. 217, or at email@example.com.
Attempted murder charges bring $1 million bond
The Lexington man charged with attempted murder for an incident Monday night in Welcome has been given a $1 million bond, according to arrest warrants.

FAQs For Space Seekers
Where do I log in?
Only venue managers can create an account and log in to the Spacefinder to manage their listings. Artists, groups, and other space-seekers do not need to create an account and are welcome to use the tool anonymously, for free.
How do I search for spaces?
From the home screen, you have four ways to search for a space:
a) From the dropdown menu, choose the type of space use you're looking for (for example, rehearsal space or meeting space) and what rental term you're looking for (for example, hourly, or monthly) and click the Find Spaces button. (You may also choose "Any Space Type" or "Any Term.")
b) Show Me the Most Recent Listings link will show you a list of all spaces added or updated most recently. This is useful if you're a regular user and only want to see new listings.
c) Browse Spaces button in the top nav bar will also show you a list of all spaces added or updated most recently.
d) The search box in the top nav bar allows you to search listings by keywords.
Once you take any of the above four paths, you'll see a list of spaces to the left of your screen, and a map of those spaces on the right.
How can I narrow my search results?
If your search returned too many results to look through, you can refine your search by filtering your search results. At the top of the list of spaces, click on the filters button. As you scroll through the filter options, remember that these are "X AND Y" cumulative options, not "X OR Y" options. In other words, clicking both "Paid Parking" and "Free Parking" will return only spaces that have both "Free AND Paid Parking". When you're ready, click the apply filters button to return a narrowed list of search results.
How do I search geographically, by neighborhood or area?
On the search results page, there will be a map on the right side of your screen. It will automatically zoom to include all of the spaces that matched your search criteria. If you want to narrow the scope of your search by area, simply zoom in towards that area in the map.
Why is there a range of prices on some spaces? Are there any spaces available at no cost?
Some venues choose to offer nonprofit organizations or artists lower rental rates than those they'd charge a large corporate event, or a wedding. Often, even for nonprofits, income-generating events such as classes will cost more than rehearsals or meetings. Typically weekends will cost more than weekdays, and prices may change by season.
Some venues are willing to subsidize rentals even further for an aligned cause they can support. Some may be willing to trade sweat-equity for space. And some venues provide no-cost space as part of their mission or business model. It never hurts to ask, but you should also be aware that the vast majority of your fellow space-seekers are also trying to maximize limited budgets, and venues (many are nonprofits themselves) are often overrun with requests. Feel free to ask for help, but also be respectful of their policies and prices.
How do I know if the space is available when I need it?
Many spaces will have a linked online calendar. If available, it will be on the space's listing page.
Longer-term rentals (monthly and longer) will list the date when the space will be available.
Some spaces choose to list general availability here instead of linking to a calendar. This will show as "High Availability," "Medium Availability," or "Low Availability," and definitions of each of those are available if you mouse-over the text. In these cases, you'll need to contact the space's manager to check on specific availability.
Do you guarantee the reliability of the information in the Spacefinder?
No, the information is maintained by the venue managers and is not verified by Spacefinder. You can flag a listing if you notice something wrong by clicking on the report this listing link. Please let us know and we'll contact the venue or take down the listing.
Who manages the Spacefinder?
Spacefinder Dallas is created and supported by, the City of Dallas's Office of Arts & Culture after extensive community feedback during the 2018 Dallas Cultural Plan. Read our "About" page for more information.
FAQs For Venue Managers
How do I get started?
First you need to create an account. Each account is attached to a unique email address. The information you provide in this form is for our internal use only and will not be available to the public.
You can use a single account for managing multiple venue locations. Another option is to create multiple accounts for various locations (an example might be someone whose day-job is booking rentals at a theater, but on the side also rents out their home garage for meet-ups).
Does it cost anything to add my spaces to the Spacefinder?
No. The Spacefinder's development and ongoing support are both funded by the City of Dallas's Office of Arts & Culture
I created an account and it's not active yet. How do I get my account activated?
Staff at the Office of Arts & Culture will review your account and approve you during business hours. If two business days have gone by and your account is still pending, please email us at [email protected] and we'll figure out what went wrong. You can, of course, do everything except publish pages before your account is approved – you can still create venues and spaces, upload information and images, etc.
What is a "Venue?"
A venue is a physical location on a map. It's a building with a unique street address, and can contain one or more rentable spaces.
Once you create a account, you'll need to create a venue. From your account dashboard, click the add a venue location button and fill in the required fields. It's a good idea to include a photo of the exterior of your venue. The venue information will apply to all of the individual spaces in the venue. Save your venue, and you'll be brought to a preview of the venue's page. You can edit the venue information or continue to add a space listing.
How do I create a new space listing?
A space is a rentable room (or outdoor area, or suite of rooms, or part of a room) at a venue location. The space is the thing you're renting; it's what space-seekers are seeking; it's the basic unit of exchange here on the Spacefinder.
From your account dashboard, click the add a listing button. Select a venue location, then give the space a descriptive name. Save to continue to the space listing detail page. Across the top of the page, you'll see quick links to each section (Basic Info, Contact Info, Rental Terms, etc.) or you can simply scroll down through the sections.
If you're curious about how this listing will look to the space-seekers, you will see a preview of the listing after you save. You can also save and come back to edit later (you can continue to edit the listing whenever you need to). Listings are unpublished by default, and you will need to publish it to make your listing publicly viewable.
As you work your way through the checkboxes, remember that these will become the qualities by which people will search for your space.
I have multiple spaces that are similar. Is there a way to duplicate a listing so I don't have to click all those little boxes again?
Yes. From the space listings section in your account, you can choose to duplicate a listing. Any photos or files from the original listing will not be duplicated, so you will need to upload images and files for the duplicated listing.
The space I made a listing for is no longer available, what should I do?
You can choose to unpublish the space at any time. This preserves the page (invisible to the public) so that you can publish it again should it become available again.
I have a venue outside of the city of Dallas, can I add them to the Spacefinder?
The Spacefinder Dallas tool is intended to help Dallas artists and organizations and Dallas venues. Now, sometimes that means helping Dallas artists or organizations find venues outside of Dallas, and sometimes it means helping those from outside Dallas find venues in town. We do ask that you only create listings for venues in the Dallas area.
How do I reply to my messages?
When a space-seeker fills out a contact form, the details will be sent to the email address on file. You can also view all your contact form submissions in the messages section of your Spacefinder account. You cannot reply to the messages from the Spacefinder. You will need to reply using your regular email application.
How can I make my spaces appear higher in the search results?
The default order for search results is "most recently edited." The user may also sort results by date created or alphabetical order. If you want your spaces to appear higher in the results, you could try editing the listing – this will push it higher until it's displaced by more recently edited listings.
What happens if I forgot my password?
You can reset your password here. Enter the email address associated with your account, and instructions to reset your password will be sent to you.

By Claude Hall
Sad. We work like hell all of our lives and we get out there on the end of everything and only a few people know who we are. And maybe even fewer care. Tom Russell details it extremely well in "The Extra Mile" about meeting Mitch Ryder in a Montana motel. A Mitch who believes his time will come again. As if mere history isn't enough of a battle, what if there are those around who specifically attempt to make sure whatever glory you may have had is taken away. Not even a crumbling pyramid in a faraway desert. A person tried to do this to Gordon McLendon, Todd Storz, and Bill Stewart a couple of years ago. Tried to rewrite Top 40 history. I fought that off. But we also have those who seek to rob everyone of their chance to fame.
The other day, I received an email from George J. Wienbarg about J. Paul Emerson. I knew J. Paul Emerson personally. A lot of people did. He had a warm personality that made you like him almost instantly. He worked in many markets. Top 40, talk, you name it. Large, small … even Carlsbad, NM, where his parents ran a small bicycle shop and where he retreated sometimes. His real name was Jim Coleman. I wrote about him in "I Love Radio," an eBook for sale via Amazon.com/Kindle Books. I owe him his history. His myth. We all owe him his history in radio.
George J. Wienbarg: 'I hope this finds you well! It is so wonderful to be able to write you about the above captioned matter as I have been working to have this page preserved on Wikipedia for the past several years and now apparently the Wikipedia editors are trying to take it down -- again. Would it be possible to get you to look at it and see what you might be able to do in order to preserve it? J. Paul Emerson was important in radio because of his People News Format which he invented at KIMN and for which we won the NAB Station of the Year award in 1973, which techniques, later made use if in general daily newspaper writing (that is replacing the traditional newspaper inverted pyramid with the short story hourglass format allowing one story's clincher like to lead into the next story's grabber line). I in turn employed at WLAC, WGCL, WPIX, WCBS, etc., and which he used during his tenure at Hot 97 (WHTZ) here in New York for those years he did mornings here. The Wikipedia editors are trying to delete this article despite several bibliographical citations -- I believe because he was a conservative, they say because he wasn't notable.
"Because you are a legitimate radio writer, perhaps you could lend the article some muscle by somehow adding to it and citing your addition, even if it's what I wrote above? I had put the article up a couple years ago and the Wikipedia editors pulled it down again, but radio people -- especially those as important as Jimmy Coleman need to have their legacies preserved, don't you think? Anyway. Here is the link. See if you might be able to help me save it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Paul_Emerson
"Be well, dear Claude! Thank you for your wonderful contributions to an oft under-appreciated art!"
I wrote him back: "George, don't know how I could help on Jim. I tried to put something on Wiki -- the official bio of George Wilson -- and couldn't. You're right about Jim. Great, great man. I wrote about him in 'I Love Radio'."
Maybe Wiki repented, because I later received this following note.
George J. Wienbarg: "Bought the book. What a charming and fun book, Claude! Looks like Jimmy's Wiki page will stay. We're going to do you next month ... let me know others to preserve for all posterity besides Mr. Wilson."
Thank you, George. I will let Wilson's daughters Terry and Carol Leigh know.
Any of you ladies and gentlemen not in Wiki? I could put you in touch with George J. Wienbarg. He seems to have the golden touch. George Wilson used to say that, soon, no one would remember us. I would hate to see that. Don Barrett has done a phenomenal job to feature the history of many, many broadcasters. But we need something that blankets everyone. Even Rod Muir. And Luis Brunini. And J. Paul Emerson.
And Bobby Ocean, now in the California Hall of Fame, too!
Bobby Ocean: "I am most grateful to find that you continue to include me on your Commentary email list, Claude. As one who pretty much ran from home away to join the carnival and never came back, I see as family those remaining in our ranks as broadcasting rolls onward. And I always see their names in your postings. Too many have lost their jobs, closely held friends, and their once recognised 'seat-on-the-bus' the industry had afforded them once along the ride. Too many have lost most of their sense of identity. You, and that itch to communicate through the written word, are essential elements to the very glue that holds us together. As we wander from today's most experienced-but-neglected radio community into Whatever's Next, it's critical to recognize the experiences through which we came. We remember them through your posts.
"There is strength and nourishment of the soul in numbers. We've been reading you for a long time, Mr. Hall. We go back. We no longer wake up to see what the new music is, who had a session overnight, who might be going solo... We don't have that same degree of fever for music we once had because, as we grew, we ceased paying attention with the same youthful perspective. The once obsessive show biz dream withered as we thought something else at the time was more important. The result, as all thought and emotional packages are creative forces and life grows towards the light, is a less intense and interesting records and radio industry, guarded in its behavior, timid and less divergent, immature in character and very much lost in the woods. The spell, under which we all once bonded, has been broken.
"Life is like that. It gives with unimaginable bounty, but it takes away, too. What we call our character is formed by decisions we have already made, and now, under the shadow of previous miscalculations, we continue to make. It is very much like having an out-of-control magic lamp in one's hand, with the force of its energies always pushing against our foothold. Can't seem to get that grip ... So, when we see your commentaries, Claude, it's like a light just ahead. Most of us rush to the fire at the hearth, listen and warm our hearts to the sound of our industries' unique people, their familiar names and their own language. We hear names we knew and make an oath to get back in touch, soon; we copy addresses and contact information. We feel awakened from a bad dream; we feel connected again.
"Whether you recognize it as fact or not, Claude, you already ARE keeping the torch passed you in this chaos, bright and alive. It doesn't matter what you call it, we know it's you and me, us and them -- the Hill Group, the Clause Hall Commentary Consumers, Levine's hilarious lines, Scott James jams or the blog from da islands, bra, emails we send to share a story, a possible last-known address, a plug for something in which we're involved -- and we're all glad to get together again. Thanks for what you continue to do."
Joe Smith – our Joe – made the front page of the sports section of the Los Angeles Times, reports Danny Davis. The press discovered, finally, that he's a huge basketball fan. This is something of which I've been aware for several decades. He and Tony Richland. Tickets for those front-row seats are now $2,750 per game. As they raised the ticket prices, Richland could no longer afford to go to the games. But Joe, a former disc jockey in Boston and later a successful record executive, became a millionaire along the way – probably even before he took over as head of Elektra Records – and had front-row seats for him, his wife, and his two children. Joe once made the highlight film and I can see him even today jumping up and down on television as, probably, Magic Johnson did one of his amazing shots. I constantly look for Joe when the Lakers on are TV. In more recent years, the TV cameramen have shown Jack Nickelson just as if you watch the Knicks, you'll see Spike Lee at least once a game. But I'll bet a cup of coffee that Joe was a Laker fan back in the days when Nickelson wore a sailor suit in the movies. In fact, 54 years. Anyway, the story in the newspaper is that the Lakers want Joe to shell out around $400,000 a year now and $200,00 in advance so they can draw interest on his money. Whups!
Barbara and I are Clippers fans starting this season big time. We used to watch Orlando. Mostly because of J.J. Redick. We've been Redick fans since his early days with Duke.
Hal Baby Moore: "Claude ... so good to read your commentary. Wish you could take over Hollywood Hills ... Chuck Buell told me about Hollywood Hills and I have really enjoyed all of the stories about many of the people that I worked with over the years. I finally retired after 53 years and spend most of my time playing golf ... pickleball and spending time with our grandchildren here in Denver. Linda and I are celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary on June 6th ... a record of some kind for being in this business ... all my best to you and hope to hear from you in the future."
Believe me, Hal, if this person that I have in mind decides to do a blog … and I surmise we should know in a few months … it will be absolutely fantastic.
And, courtesy of Chuck Buell, I now have a correct address for Hal Baby Moore. And I heard from Hal, too. Great, great, great! I've always had great respect for Hal as a radio man.
Sitting here, cutting and pasting emails into Commentary while listening to Steve Tyrell with "It's Magic." Just beautiful! Love it, Steve. And that brings to mind: Anyone know how Jerry Sherrell is doing? I don't have his email.
Dick Summer: "Don't stop writing, Claude. It would be the end of a wonderful era for radio if you did. Here's something you may not know about: I really loved being on the radio. Those were the days, and nights, when I first ran into Big Louie. His theme song, 'Louie Louie' was the star of most of the record hops in those days. Any time the party got dull, it was Louie to the rescue. But there was another kind of music born in the sixties. Its mommy was the blues, and its daddy was rock and roll, and the people in power said it was conceived in sin. It was music on fire. Hendrix, Morrison, Clapton. When I heard it for the first time it took me a week to get my eyes closed. Today, you'd call it Classic Rock. And there's something you don't know about it and you should. You don't know about the man who got that music on the air. His name was Al Heacock. And he was a man in the best sense of the word. I know the story because I was
privileged to work for Al, and he was my friend. Once upon a time…all the way back in the sixties … AM radio was still king. Big 50,000 watt flame throwers like WBZ in Boston, WABC in New York, WLS in Chicago, and KFI in Los Angeles ruled. Almost all of them were built on tight top forty foundations. In fact, the playlist at WABC was frequently more like the top twenty, with the emphasis on the top three. "All Hits All The Time." Jingle, jangle, jingle. The format was the gospel. Except at Boston's WBZ. This is something that most radio professionals won't believe, but it's true. WBZ never had a format in those days. The guys on the air played whatever we wanted to play, including records from our own personal collections, and tapes from local artists. And in between every single record/tape, we had fun. Oh we had fun. And people loved it. Today's top radio stations pull around a ten rating in a major market. WBZ consistently pulled north of a twenty-five. The mouths at WBZ belonged to Carl deSuze, Dave Maynard, Jay Dunn, Jeff Kaye (and later Ron Landry) Bob Kennedy Bruce Bradley and me. But the brains, and a lot of the heart of the station belonged to the program director, Al Heacock. Al was smart. He was a quiet guy who made a lot of money in the stock market. But he really didn't care about the stock market. Al cared about his radio station, WBZ. It was a station with 'tude'. When we broadcast from our mobile studio, which was most of the time, we proudly wore our station blazers. It wasn't unusual at all for one of us to drop in on somebody else's show and kibitz for a while. When you walked down the beach, you didn't need to bring your own radio, because everybody around you would have 'BZ turned on and turned up to stun. If you stopped your car for a red light, you'd almost always hear 'BZ coming out of the speaker in the car stopped next to you. Those were the days before cars had air conditioning. The Pimple People wouldn't remember. For those of you who never heard the station, and for those of you who work in radio and are curious about the legend that was WBZ, here's how Al programmed his music: Each month there was a staff meeting. At the meeting he would always remind us to play some of the top tunes he left in the rack in the studio each week. And then he'd say, 'I don't want to hear two records back to back. We pay you guys to entertain. Entertain'. What a joy it was, what an honor to be one of Al's guys on WBZ. Here's what that means to you. If it weren't for Al Heacock, a man who knew how to say no…and stick to his guns … Classic Rock might never have been born. At least it would have been a much longer labor and birth. Boston has always had a strong Folk Music tradition. At WBZ we were consistently playing original tapes of unreleased songs like 'Sounds of Silence' by Simon and Garfunkel, and 'The Urge for Going' by Tom Rush, all kinds of stuff by Dylan, and Baez, and Sweet Judy Blue Eyes Collins. I was doing a weekly MC gig at the Unicorn Coffee House, a major Folkie spot in town. And I noticed that some of the artists were beginning to go electric. I invited Al to attend one night, and he got it. Right away. The next day, he instigated 'BZs only mandatory music rule: 'One 'Liquid Rock' song per hour'. Al called the music Liquid Rock. Almost immediately the new music picked up a different name, 'Underground Rock'. The name was the only thing Al got wrong. He gave me two hours on Sunday evenings for the first big time 'Underground Rock' radio show. He called it 'Dick Summer's Subway'. 'Subway' as in 'Underground'. Then Dylan went electric, Eric Clapton formed "Cream" and Woodstock forged a new musical and political conscience for America, and it went roaring out on WBZ's 50,000-watt clear channel signal all the way from Massachusetts to Midway Island in the Pacific. (I have an air check.) The suits who owned Group W Radio in New York were aghast. It wasn't top forty. It wasn't anything they recognized. They didn't like it. They wanted it stopped…right now. Al just very quietly said no. For a while, even the suits didn't want to mess too much with Al's 25 rating in Boston. Then Arlo Guthrie did a song called 'Alice's Restaurant', featuring a line about the 'mother rapers and the father rapers on the Group W bench'. The lawyers at Group W headquarters in New York and D.C. freaked. The President of the Group took a flight from New York to talk sense into this crazy program director Heacock. 'Get it off the air now' was the order. Al very quietly said "no." It was a classic Big Suit vs. Radio Guy. And Mr. Suit blinked. The order was changed to 'well at least edit that line out' Al very quietly just said 'no'. If you're a radio professional, you'll realize how far out of line that was. A Program Director is a middle management guy. He was talking to the President of the group. So Mr. Suit decided to drop in on me personally one Sunday night, 'for a friendly visit'. The engineer saw what was going on, and called Al to alert him to the situation. Ten minutes later, Al was at the studio. He asked Mr. Suit to join him for a quick meeting … out of the studio. That's the last I heard of the problem. A few months later, the great Tom Donahue climbed on 'Underground' music on his FM station out in San Francisco, Classical Music WBCN went FM rock in Boston, 'The Professor', Scott Muni, Rosco, Jon Schwartz and crew took WNEW-FM rock in New York, and invited me to join them, which I did. And in a little while, FM killed the AM king. It probably would have happened anyway. But the point is that when you hear "Smoke on the Water", or "Bohemian Rhapsody" or "Light My Fire" you're listening to some of the many echos of that quiet but firm "no" that Al Heacock said all those years ago. Al died a while ago. I think it would be appropriate if you'd remember him, the next time you find yourself listening to 'Stairway to Heaven'."
Ed Salamon: "Thanks for another great column. Ken Levine's website, which you touted, is a daily must-read for me. Do you think most of your readers know that he was an air personality on some pretty significant stations before his screen writing career and play by play took off? I had the pleasure of working with him in the late 70s when I was acting GM at 10-Q (and National PD for Storer). Ken, as Beaver Cleaver, was part of an all star personality team that at some point during Ken's tenure included Jack Armstrong, Charlie Tuna (both hires of 10-Q PD Mike McVay and me), The Real Don Steele, M. G. Kelly, Nancy Plum, Jim Conlee and Joe Nasty. It was great to be part of the last blast of AM Top 40."
Tom Rounds: "Claude, this is wonderful news. I didn't want to add my voice to the many who have already acclaimed you as 'The Man', since I have an idea of the immense workload involved. But it looks like you have a solution. I completely support whatever direction you choose to take, and you can count on me to contribute whatever time allows.
Don Whittemore: "The Commentary is just like getting the news from the sage in my home town ... Thanks. Every line seemed to have relevance that rippled into the following cluster of words and just flowed on and on until the conclusion was reached. Next week will come slowly."
Don Sundeen: "Got a surprise last night when my long time friend and former client, Scott, ('Scooter B.') Seagraves sent me the enclosed picture that had been posted on the website of WNOE in New Orleans. It's very special to me because it shows Scoot and I with Lee Arbuckle, my late friend, traveling companion and partner in SUNBUCKLE, a record promotion firm. It was just last fall that Lee passed away, and not a day goes by that I don't think about him and our adventures over the decade of the 70s. We knew Scoot from the time he was a jock in Tulsa at KAKC in the early 70s, to his years in New Orleans, and especially at the AOR, WNOE-FM, where he did the music and was a legend. I have no recollection of where or when the picture was taken, we look so young and joyful, but it appears it may have been in a publication. I've been very fortunate to have a couple of friends in my life whom I considered 'brothers', and Lee was certainly one of them. After a great stint as a TOP 40 jock at places like Big WAYS in Charlotte, he became one of the finest, most honest and personable record promotion men of his generation. May God bless his soul." (picture: Don, Scott, Lee)
Danny Davis: "Hey-Hey! Lookee here! The ol' computer sez Claude #4! I ain't seen 1 to 3!! Matter of fact, I still have your e-mail (along with mine) where we 'whine' about the age now 'befoggin' our bodies! Pleased as I am, able to read the Authorman's observations, I note your commitment to the task and applaud your dismissal of what ails 'us'! (I'm takin' a page outta' your book!) I've thought of Jack, like yourself, most often! I missed any personal exchange with Robertsman, I never had contacted him at a radio outlet, and yet, the gracious manner he extended me (even allowing my own blog, along the right side with you'se and Levine and the ol' Jock and the bright lights of an industry in 'morgue-mode) turned my own wattage fully on! I'd love to read you all over again! Maybe even contribute to new health! Bless ya', Claude! And lemme have the next 'out poring'!"
Later from Danny: "Claude-ie! (Learned Elder Go-Between, 'what' is no mo', and the chutzpa to revive it!! Charlie Barret (or Barrat) one of the good guys from long ago and 'better times' made it to the lunch-bunch today! Whatta' day to be dere'! Shecky Green didn't disappoint! He was in rare form and hilarious, with nary any prepared stuff! Off the top of his head, like always! Sheck's the reason I wouldn't trade Thursday for two Tuesdays! It was a pleasure sittin' next to Charlie and catching up from 40 years ago! Gotta' toast that time spell next week! Mail from Tom Shannon today! Always good thoughts prevail when you hear from the 'mighty men of the mike! Tom's coming to SoCal, with his new wife and daughter, but not close enuf to Palm Desert! Maybe another time!! Roy Kohn (if you remember? Song Plugger with a publisher?) is currently recuperating from heart failure and double pneumonia! No, he didn't make it to lunch today! Best to you, Claude! (If you catch hold of a single dollar ... place me on the 17-20 split (roulette) and I'll get the ace to you! You take an extra 5 for sweating the bet!"
Just FYI, I sent No. 1-3 to Danny. Love you, Danny!
We added a few people to my list and got the addresses of Hal Baby Moore and Michael O'Shea straightened out. Featuring the Commentary of Facebook paid off because I heard from Jim Maddox. He's a damned good radio man from my Los Angeles days that I admired immensely. We lost touch in the long ago. He's a grandpa now!
John Ostlund, owner of KYNO in Fresno, CA: "It struck me recently that many of us would not have a job in the industry we love had it not been for Bill Drake. In fact, you could argue that if it weren't for Gene Chenault, the industry may not have had Bill Drake -- at least as we knew him. While digging through the archives, I've come across an amazing collection of KYNO in the earliest days under Bill Drake's leadership, including the attached memo from Gene Chenault announcing Bill's appointment as the new Program Director of KYNO. I thought you might get a kick out of it. If you're wondering whatever happened to KYNO, you can find out at KYNOFresno.com and 'like' us at KYNO 1430."
The above note was sent April 1. As Scoot St. James says, "Just saying."
May the Good Lord bless us all.

BEST Tips to Find a Girl.
If you have not had success having a sweetheart, the reason could be that you are not ready for one. Having a special lady is a dedication, and determination requires some reliability and energy and effort.
For getting your perfect other half, you also will have to be capable to guide yourself and be open to rejection. Without any guide yourself, one would not be capable to guide others (crucial in a romance as a guy), and you will certainly never ever have exactly what you
how to talk to girls
want since you are simply usually needing to be waiting for another person to offer you permission.
Without being truly free to denial, you could never ever experience triumph. Who wins without having any type of failed attempts?If you really want the sort of romantic relationship you've usually dreamed of, afterwards quit awaiting approval coming from other people, quit seeking approval wherefore you really want and agree to fail big time to land it.
A date is an ingredient to a romantic relationship. You're not exactly sending commitment-ready signs if your building blocks are made up of lame stages that definitely focus around booze and sex activity.
Wooing a woman is essential. That indicates that you're the type of man who will use effort toward a relationship, and it reveals that one think she's really worth putting effort into.
In some cases males are so caught up in impressing their companion, they go off as bored in the people in front of them. At the time the first date finishes, they have actually rattled off their program
of brag-worthy victories, although never took the time to recognize what she's about. Take a breather, and allow the modest woman talk!
The easiest manner in order to assign yourself apart from the self-involved morons taking her out is simply to ask her concerns and in fact give attention. She'll find even more attached to you, and you'll literally make it to date number 2. It's a big deal.
There is nothing more attractive to women than self-confidence. If you are actually good for a girl (emotionally stable, thinking of the coming future ...), then you should come with every main reason to be really positive. Before talking to a female you are attracted to, state for yourself a little bit of pep talk.
When you are at it, never state unpleasant facts about the area, food selection, drink variety, and so on. In the event that the list, for instance, actually is terrible, after that make a laugh out of that as an alternative of trashing it.
This is actually where your root as a man will form. In case you're a bulling, deceitful, social bash, then you need to work on yourself first off. Create a system for your daily life founded on who you actually intend to stick and be to that. Worths don't add up if they're just a second thought.

Even though I have no medical ailments that are caused by consuming milk/dairy, I'm still just not a fan of it.

Even though I have no medical ailments that are caused by consuming milk/dairy, I'm still just not a fan of it.
So would it be completely incorrect to say "I can't tolerate milk/I am becoming intolerant to milk"?
It is technically correct to say you are intolerant of milk. You do not tolerate it, in that you do not like it.
Since lactose-intolerance is such a well-known medical condition, saying that you're intolerant would tend to lead a reader into believing you have that medical issue. This could lead to a misunderstanding, since lactose, the sugar in milk that lactose-intolerant people can't digest, is also present in all dairy products like cheese.
I would frame it in the form of taste.
I detest milk.
I am growing to dislike milk.
"Intolerant" seems to get you get you off on the wrong foot here. You seem to be looking for a way of expressing a preference or a disliking whereas tolerant/intolerant specifically reflects an ability to handle, e.g.:
"used, usually in compounds, to describe a person who is not able to eat a particular type of food or take a particular type of medicine without it having a bad effect:" https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/intolerant
I would think along the lines of "dislike" or "prefer".
I would avoid the use of the word 'tolerant' or 'intolerant' here because it has a precise medical and genetic meaning in the term 'lactose-intolerant', and might therefore lead to confusion.
(Lactose intolerance is not actually an ailment, as before the domestication of cattle etc. the normal situation was that the ability to digest lactose in milk was lost after infants were weaned.)
Use the simple English expression that you would for any other food you disliked, e.g.
I detest milk
I can't stand milk
or if your aversion is not so great, simply
I don't like milk very much
There is no virtue in using fancy-sounding words that you are not sure about when simple ones will do.
