Balance – Wedding Budget Blues
posted by: admin in Entertainment on 06 29th, 2009 | | No Comments »

Let’s think about what goes into your wedding budget. Your caterer/banquet facility will get the lion’s share of it. If you are having 150 guests (an average number) and the banquet facility charges $100 pp. (typical high-end facility in New England area – including gratuity, tax, hidden fees) – that works out to $15,000 right off the top. If you have it and want to spend it – great. If you are trying to stretch your wedding dollars, then you really need to step back. Many couples get so caught up in the facility that they spend all their budget on it and don’t have enough left over for quality entertainment or wedding photos.

If you took that same 150 guests and found a facility that only cost $75 pp, you now have an additional $4,000 that you can spend on your photographer and disc jockey. Why? When you walk away from your reception – if the music was a disaster – the entire event is a disaster. If you don’t have quality wedding photos to cherish for years to come, it will just fade in your memory. The reality is – if the view wasn’t so great at the facility and the food was just ok – people will not care as long as they had a great time. Think about that before you spend your entire wedding budget on the facility and run out of money for everything else. There needs to be a balance in your wedding budget.

In the New England Area average pricing for a quality disc jockey ranges between $1000-$1500. For a quality professional photographer, you should expect to spend at least $2,500-$4,000. Believe me, you will know the difference if you hire below this range.

Party Favors are Fun Entertainment
posted by: admin in Entertainment on 06 21st, 2009 | | No Comments »

When used as either conversation starters or simply meant as crowd entertainment; party favors have a place of importance in any occasions that involve seated activity. Sometimes they have a game, toy or noise maker and often they are just snack foods. A party favor can be as basic as fortune cookies. It serves to entertain, feed and spark lively discussion.

What portion of the budget should be spent on party favors? That depends on the importance to be placed on the party favor. The party favor can really be something downloaded from the internet like a zodiac or crossword puzzle. These are great, inexpensive and serve the purpose. These kinds of favors should be scrolled and tied with ribbon and a sharpened pencil should be tucked inside.

Often times more should be spent on the party favors so that they can serve as a small gift for the guests. Then they serve the additional purpose of saying quickly “thanks” for attending. Anytime that there is a group meeting it helps if the party favors are matched to some matter that is germane to group identity.

Little hats with a flourish of ribbon for popular women’s club meetings make good favors. Trinkets or charms that compliment the theme of a club’s efforts are fine. A group which regularly raises money to plant trees and flowers community wide might enjoy charms of gardening tools, for instance.

Formal gatherings often call for more expensive party favors. Disposable cameras are very popular items for wedding receptions. The less expensive sack of grass seed for the after reception showering of the newlyweds is traditional. Mints in decorative holders or candy coated almonds are also among the budget minded options.

Party favors for graduations, holidays, birthdays or anniversaries can all be purchased especially for those occasions.

Golf ‘Fore’ Success
posted by: admin in Entertainment on 06 16th, 2009 | | No Comments »

Golf has a crazy way of telling who we truly are as a person. Many people judge us by the way we play the game. Everyone has a favorite quote they live by, whether in business or in their personal lives. Here are five humorous golf quotes that will get you thinking about what is really important in life as seen through the game of golf:

“Golf is the most fun you can have without taking your clothes off.” –Chi Chi Rodriguez

Always have something to look forward to each day. It may something you ordered by mail and are anxiously awaiting its arrival or just relaxing on a quiet Friday night cooking for yourself with some soft music. Treat yourself often. Golf has a way of taking your mind away from the daily grind.

“Golf is a game in which you yell ‘Fore’, shoot six, and write down five.”
–Paul Harvey

Never cheat yourself out of anything. If you practice that, you will less likely cheat anybody or at anything. Remember, there is always an extra pair of eyes watching what we do and how we do it, especially in organizations.

“Golf is a hard game to figure. One day you’ll go out and slice it and shank it, hit it in all the traps and miss every green. The next day you go out and for now reason at all you really stink.”
–Bob Hope

Don’t take life so seriously. Get out of your own self’s way and let things happen. There is a reason why things happen to usjust listen for the answer and don’t over analyze it. Our success in is determined by which path we take in life-follow the one that has a heart.

“If you break 100, watch your golf. If you break 80, watch your business.”
–Joey Adams

Be sure to put balance in all aspects of your life. We realistically cannot be the best at everything. Concentrate on your strengths, not your weaknesses. Most successful men and women do just that. They delegate or hire their weak areas to others. It is the same for successful organizations-they concentrate on their strengths, not their weaknesses.

“If you think it’s hard to meet new people, pick up the wrong ball.”
–Blake Lochrie

Show genuine interest in everyone you meet. Ask them about themselves instead of trying to impress them with your credentials. Remember, the top questions to ask anyone that will make a positive impression are: who, what, when, where, how, and why.

After many trips through the rumor mill, Mark Prior accepted the Chicago Cubs’ offer on January 27 to a one-year, $3.65 million contract. That is $900,000 more than the salary he would have earned under the contract he voided in November. Since Prior’s definitive season in 2003 (18-6), he has cooled off somewhat, and has only managed to go 17-11 over the past two seasons. The Cubs were within five outs of reaching the World Series in 2003, due, in part, to Prior’s performance. A sore elbow put him on the disabled list early last season, and when he entered the normal rotation again, he was hit on the same elbow by a scorching line drive. He finished the 2005 season going 11-7 with a 3.67 ERA over 27 games.

The Chicago Cubs’ pitcher, whose name has been mentioned as possible trade bait this off-season, said that he was not too upset at the rumors because he figured they were just that — rumors. Rumor had it that he was going to the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for outfielder Bobby Abreu, but that wasn’t to be. During the holidays, he was supposed to be traded to Baltimore for shortstop Miguel Tejada. That also did not happen. “It’s part of the game,” Prior said. “Obviously, when somebody requests a trade, a team has to look into it. I don’t really validate the rumors a whole lot unless I hear that ‘[general manager] Jim Hendry’ says or ‘[team president] Andy MacPhail says’ or ‘[manager] Dusty [Baker] says’ — otherwise, they’re just rumors. It seems like there are a lot of MLB sources this year. Unless somebody calls me up and says, ‘Hey, we’re serious about doing this,’ there’s not a whole lot for me to think about because I don’t have a whole lot to say.”

If the fans had any say in it, Prior would never wear another uniform besides his Cubs No. 22 jersey. When the right-hander was introduced to the crowd jammed inside the Grand Ballroom at the Hilton Chicago during opening ceremonies for the 21st Cubs Convention, he was greeted with the chant, “No trade, no trade.” Most Cubs fans remember that Prior’s 10 strikeouts in his very first start was the most by any Cubs pitcher in over 30 years. “I’ve never been ticked or anything,” Prior said. “I felt if anything was going to be done, somebody would’ve called me and said something. Otherwise, it was business as usual. I was obviously going to pitch for somebody this season, and I had to get ready.”

There was also a rumor that Prior decided to void the last year of his contract because he was angry at the Cubs. That also was not true. “That was something that was written in the contract,” he said of his ability to be eligible for arbitration. “That was in the negotiations five years ago. We felt it was fair at the time. It was basically the last two years [of the contract] – if I’m eligible for arbitration, I have the privilege to go to arbitration.” Prior will make more money in 2006 thanks to this foresight.

“I’ve been spending this off season trying to iron out some things and correct some habits that I fell into because of what happened with my elbow,” Prior said. “One thing I did learn, and after I’ve been reflecting, is how fortunate and valuable the time is when you’re healthy. At any moment, anything can happen. “The other day I was home watching [NFL quarterback] Drew Brees get hurt, and I see Carson Palmer go down two plays into the game. It’s a very fragile existence from that standpoint.” He’s well aware of the business side of baseball, too. “As far as everything I’ve heard, they weren’t dangling me out there and trying to get rid of me,” Prior said. He’d like to stay with the Cubs. “I love playing here. I have no desire to leave,” he said. “I love playing in the city of Chicago; I love this town. I don’t think I could’ve been as fortunate as I was to fall here out of college. Not too many people get the luxury of coming to a city like Chicago. It’s a great city, a great town and I love being here. It’s a great town to play baseball in.”

Prior had become arbitration eligible when he used his option to void the final year of his original contract signed in 2001. Under the original terms, he was to make $2.75 million this year. Prior had asked for $4 million, while the Cubs countered with an offer of $3.3 million. Arbitration arrived at the $3.65 million figure. “We’re certainly glad to have it done,” said Cubs’ general manager Jim Hendry. “Our stance is always to try to work with the representative, John Boggs, to a conclusion of fairness to avoid the process if we can. This was something we wanted to do, and hopefully Mark will have a great 2006.”

Other current Cubs arbitration-eligible players include infielder Jerry Hairston, outfielder Juan Pierre, and pitchers Will Ohman and Carlos Zambrano. Cubs’ general manager Jim Hendry and team president Andy MacPhail have never gone to arbitration with a player. Hendry said he is continuing to negotiate with the players’ representatives in hopes of reaching an agreement.

Players with at least three years seniority in the Major Leagues, plus the longest active 17 percent of those with between two and three years service, are eligible for salary arbitration. Mark Prior, for example, now has three years, 131 days of Major League service time.

How does arbitration work? Players and teams exchange figures, and if no agreement is reached between the two, the case is referred to an arbitrator. Pierre, 28, whom the Cubs acquired from the Florida Marlins for three Minor League pitchers, made $3.7 million in 2005. He is coming off a season in which he hit .276 with two homers, 47 RBIs and 57 stolen bases in 162 games. The center fielder asked for $6.5 million, while the Cubs offered $5 million.

Cubs’ pitcher Zambrano earned $3.76 million last season and led the Cubs in wins with 14. He established career highs in starts (33), innings pitched (223 1/3) and strikeouts (202). Zambrano asked for $7.2 million, while the Cubs countered with an offer of $6 million. In his first season with the Cubs, Hairston, 29, made $1.8 million last season. He batted .261, hit four homers, 25 doubles and had 30 RBI. Hairston requested $2.6 million in 2006, while the Cubs offered $1.95 million. Ohman, 28, is seeking $775,000, while the Cubs offered $500,000. Ohman, who has three years, 40 days of Major League service time, made $320,000 in 2005 in his return to the big leagues. The left-hander, who has spent much time on the disabled list because of three elbow surgeries, was 2-2 with a 2.91 ERA in 69 games.

The New Jersey State Fair Sussex County Farm and Horse Show is held annually for ten days during the beginning of August in interestingly the town of Augusta. It’s not known whether the organizers decided to hold the fair during this month each year because of the name of the town or not. The town and fair is in the rural northwestern part of New Jersey and you will find lots of agriculturally based activities to enjoy.

Besides Horse Shows there are 4-H exhibits of which the kids statewide are very proud. You’ll also find Honey Bee demonstrations held daily, which may or may not attract fairgoers. It depends on how you feel about bees in general. The Commerford Petting Zoo not only has local animals such as goats and ponies, but you’ll find more exotic Elephants and Camels and have a chance to ride on them. On the fairgrounds you’ll find a baby animal nursery that houses all of the newest additions that make an appearance while at the fair. The baby chicks are by far the biggest draw.

Live entertainment at the state fair comes in many forms. Wander around the fair and you just might find the Chainsaw Artist exhibit and have a chance to watch art come to life before your eyes. The pet show gives dog, cat and other domesticated pet owners a chance to show off their best friends. Lovers of the Polka should look for the annual Polish Night and Polka Contest and dance the evening away. If you had a chance to admire the Chainsaw Artist exhibit during the fair you can come place some bids on the work during the Chainsaw Sculpture Artist Auction on the last day of the fair.

Those who don’t mind paying a little extra can find nightly fun at the Outdoor Entertainment Area. This venue hosts fireworks, demolition derbies, pulls, balloon rides, and lots of other competitions.

When you visit the fair you can stay in one of the many different types of lodging available. There are hotels, local campgrounds, RV sites, and bed and breakfasts. Bring your own car and you’ll find that parking at the state fair is free.

Disneyland always has something entertaining and hold special entertainment nightly during the peak season as well as weekend entertainment during the off-season. Disneyland usually saves special entertainment for occasions like the 4th of July and Christmas.

At least twice each night during the peak season and on weekends during the off-season Disneyland holds a show called Fantasmic.
It takes place on Tom Sawyer’s Island, and features many characters as well as music and fireworks. I would recommend getting tickets for this well in advance so you can get the best seats possible. Bear in mind that free seating is also available and is included in your Disneyland park admission price.

A show that should not be missed is the musical Snow White which is held in the Fantasyland Theater. If your a Snow White Fan I highly recommend it. Snow White is held several times throughout the day so reservations should not be necessary.

Disneyland holds a parade twice each day called Parade of Dreams which features large colorful floats holding the Disneyland Characters. The parade stops three times a day to do a choreographed show, and most of the Disney Characters are portrayed in the Parade of Dreams.

These are just a few of the shows that are available at Disneyland. Entertainment is always non stop and everyday usually calls for something new. One entertainment that you know will always be at Disneyland And that is their firework shows. The fireworks take place each night just before the park closes for the evening.

If the fireworks are too late for you there is a fairly good chance you will see them from a hotel window or balcony. The absolute best spot for the greatest effect is right in front of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle. I absolutely recommend the fireworks on Fourth of July as they are like no other I have ever seen, they are out of this world.

If you are looking for more information or would like to find something specific about the entertainment at Disneyland, visit
the website, ask the travel agent you booked with or even call the park as they are always willing to offer assistance. It is a good idea to ask about special events during specific months, so you can determine which one is more to your liking and will suit your travel plans.

Although most the entertainment is provided free of charge and is part of your admission price it is important to make sure there isn’t a fee as some events do have special seating, or priority seating that requires a fee. I would check the website or call the park just to be sure.

The Kansas City Chiefs
posted by: admin in Entertainment on 05 8th, 2009 | | No Comments »

The Kansas City Chiefs have their hometown in Kansas City, Kansas. Many a fan has happily purchased one of the over 79,000 seats at Arrowhead Stadium to watch their favorite team play. Members of the AFC west, the Kansas City Chiefs were founded by Lamar Hunt. The current president of the NFL team is Carl Peterson, and the head coach is Herman Edwards. In their history as a team, the Kansas City Chiefs have been to the playoffs 14 times in their career, but have never made it to the Super Bowl. Yet they do have a lot to make their fans proud and a future ahead of them that has not been written yet. Fans in Kansas and around the country are not ready to give up hope for their favorite team, and wear their Kansas City Chiefs jerseys as proof of their commitment as fans.

Many fans were sad to see that Dick Vermeil has left the Kansas City Chiefs as coach. His five seasons as coach are over, and it was hard for him to say goodbye, yet he felt it was time to pursue other things in his life. It is now up to head coach, Herman Edwards to see what next year’s season will be like. It will be interesting to see where he can take the Kansas City Chiefs. There are bound to be some changes both in the team roster and in the way the team is coached in the coming months. Fans will be watching closely and hoping that this year is the one that the Kansas City Chiefs will make it to the Super Bowl.

In addition to playing football, both the players and the Kansa City Chiefs organization put forth a lot of effort for charitable events and causes. For instance, this past season, the Kansas City Chiefs raised over fourteen million dollars for various charities. It is interesting to note that many of the players take their own time to support and help charities of their own choices, as well.

Of course, fans all over Kansas are anxious to display their support for their team, and proudly wear the red and white colors of the Kansas City Chiefs. The online Pro Shop even sells a Kansas City Chiefs cookbook that is said to contain some very good recipes for fans to try.

Kansas City Chief fans will be cheering them on all the way. Go Chiefs!

Finding A Manager
posted by: admin in Entertainment on 05 1st, 2009 | | No Comments »

A very important person on your successful team is your manager. Finding a good, responsible and reputable manager is not an easy task. If you don’t already have a manager, you may not need one. Experience proves, however, that you can only go so far without one. But how do you obtain a manager if you don’t already have one?

That’s a tricky one. While I have a huge list in my book, “The Indie Guide To Music, Marketing and Money” ISBN 978-0-9746229-4-1, you also need to get references. Once you obtain a list of managers you want to talk to, that are also interested in having a meeting with you, and here is a partial list of questions you should ask a manager to find out if they will be a good fit for your musical career.

What style of music do you represent?
How big do you think for your clients?
Do you consider and pursue corporate sponsorships, etc.?
What territory do you cover?
How are you paid – what is your percentage rate?

Before you can even question a manager, you’ll probably have to send them a press kit in order to get your first appointment. As always, be sure to contact them prior to sending out packets. Most unsolicited press kits either end up coming back unopened or are simply thrown away.

If you find that you decide you want specific recommendations for management, contact major record labels and ask the staff who they use. That will help you determine who you should contact for management. At least then you will be dealing with a manager who already has a working relationship with a major label and who can hopefully get you a contract. Most managers, however, who are associated with major-labels, will not accept submissions from anyone other than the record labels themselves or high profile industry contacts.

That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t or can’t contact the managers the major labels recommended and pitch your music anyway. Someone may say yes! (See Chapter 17 in “The Indie Guide To Music, Marketing and Money” ISBN 978-0-9746229-4-1, for an extensive list of managers that are on the lookout for acts as well as additional questions and policy and procedures. In the book, you will find names, addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers and available email addresses for managers that were recommended to us when researching this book by record labels, and by other industry professionals. Most of the managers in our book accept submissions from artists, but as with any manager, contact them first.)

Most managers will take a percentage rate of any venues or money they are involved in bringing in for you and your band. When selecting a manager make sure your contract is very explicit on this point. You should never pay your manager for income you receive that you developed on your own. Make sure you are not locked into a contract that will compensate them for money or gigs they had nothing to do with negotiating for you.

Steer clear of anyone who asks for money up front or states that they want a percentage of any and all money you earn. I have spoken with some of the largest mangers and management firms in the industry who stated this clearly is not reputable or ethical behavior for a manager. There are no legitimate managers who ask for any money up front, or a monthly retainer/salary. If they do, chances are they are trying to start up their own business and don’t have the level of experience you need to succeed.

Asking for money up front is also a way of stating they do not believe in you enough to take a risk. Why would you want to work with anyone who does not believe in you? And, why should they work for you if they are already getting paid, whether or not they get work for you? The main point is managers only make their money if they make you money. That should be motivation enough for a manager.

Once your package is submitted to a manager, give them a few weeks to review it before following up. When you do your own personal follow-up, make sure you ask them what they thought of your press kit. Ask them if they’ve listened to your CD. Your follow-up can also provide an excellent opportunity for constructive criticism on how you can make the improvements your press kit or CD.

If both parties (you and they) decide you would like to work with each other, you’ll need to sign a contract. It is essential that you get a lawyer involved at this point. You should never sign any contract until you let an entertainment attorney who has the expertise you need advise you.

The same rules apply to booking agencies, as do managers. Never sign a contract until you have had your lawyer look it over and examine it for any hidden clauses. Once I was given a contract that actually stated the booking agent would receive 5% on any and all money I earned, in addition to the 15% that the booking agent would receive for any venues they procured for me. That meant 5% of anything I earned, even if it had nothing to do with music would go to them. Protect yourself. Read your contract even before you hand it off to your attorney for review.

Finally, never sign an exclusive contract. If you sign an exclusive contract, you will not be able to accept any gigs from outside firms. It also means you will not be allowed to follow through on any gigs that you negotiated yourself or already had in place as standing gigs. If you sign an exclusive booking contract you could also wind up with a booking agent who may not even negotiate any work for you and your band. Then you’re stuck.

There are only a few major booking agencies that will require you to sign an exclusive contract. One is the William Morris Agency. Their names will speaks for themselves. You can rest assured that if you sign with on of these agencies your chances are very high for getting work. If an unknown booking agency requires you to sign an exclusive contract, just say NO!

Creative Writing Tips -

Whichever theme you choose, all the elements, which make up your story, dialogue, conflict, scenes, etc should be written with the theme in mind.

Your theme should progress the story.

If you find that anything in your story doesn’t progress it, it should be cut when you are in the editing stage.

Before we see an example of elements written with a theme in mind, let’s think of a theme and a story.

The theme is

‘Arrogance Leads To Humiliation’

Very briefly, this story is about a character that believes he is better than his colleagues.

His goal is to get promoted to a managerial position. What will prevent him from reaching his goal, is the fact that management are aware of his arrogance and they don’t believe, with his attitude, he is the right person to manage the staff.

To meet his goal, the character will take on more work than he can handle. He will do this to prove to management, that he is the right man for the job. But in the end, he will make a grave error and his arrogance will lead him to humiliation.

Now let’s take a look at the elements of this story

Dialogue

The character’s dialogue will show his arrogance, by the tone of his voice and the words he chooses to express himself.

Characterization

I will show my character is arrogant by the way I describe him and from how other characters see him.

Motivations

I will explain what makes him think he is better than everyone else.

Goal

I will state his goal and show how it arises from the fact that he believes himself better than everyone else.

Setting

The setting is going to be in an office environment. I can show his arrogance through the setting by perhaps describing the contents of his desk (trophies) and his desk area in general (diplomas on the walls.) etc.

Conflict

The conflict will come from himself. He is the one that creates it by doing and saying things, which create dislike.

Climax

The climax is the highest point in my story where the conflict and his arrogance will come to their peak. Here we will see how he tries to overcome the conflict and reach his goal by taking on more work.

Ending

I will end my story with my character’s humiliation. He takes on more work and makes an error in judgement. Which not only prevents his promotion but also gets him fired.

My theme here would have run its course.

Does each element of your story further your theme?

It’s held every year from late August until early September in Lincoln, Nebraska. Yep, it’s the state fair and it’s full of family friendly activities.

Visitors to the state fair who can stand it might check out the Bee Exhibit in the Ag Hall on the grounds. Its open class so just about anyone with a bee hive can enter them into the competitive and comparative exhibit of several bee hives.

Parents can find lots of activities to keep the kids engaged in the Kids Zone. For a realistic milking experience check out the Fiber Glass Milking Cow. This interactive faux dairy cow allows kids to try their hand at milking without running the risk of hurting a real live Bessie the Cow. Hendricks’s Animal Petting Zoo offers kids to get up close to many kinds of animals such as the ponies, camel, and lots of goats. Family contests like water balloon toss and jump frog contests provide a chance for kids to compete in their own events.

There’s also the National Pastime Sports Exhibit for Sports fest 2006. The interactive games and activities include a course of tackling dummies and hurdles, and a chance to throw that perfect pass to the receiver. You can also learn about the history of sports in America.

Free concerts offered at the fair are varied in genre to give the visitors the best chance of finding something that will interest them. There are Christian Music Bands, Country Music Singers, Hard Rock Head Bangers and Vocal Crooners.

The Grandstand offers up paid entertainment that can range from musical groups to Rodeos. They also occasionally hold a haunted house on the second floor of the Grandstand. Many enjoy going to such events as the Monster Truck Nationals.

A campground located near the fair can make it very easy for the visitors to fully enjoy their visit to the fair by making the most of their hours and giving them more than one day to check out the fair. The fair also conveniently offers a shuttle service to and from the fair.
