Maison Gerard presents Marino di Teana Sculptor, Architect, and Philosopher
- SOUTHAMPTON , New York
- /
- July 17, 2017
A Lifetime of Passion and Expression
July 22 to August 26, 2017
Works to be set within beautifully landscaped gardens of historic Grosvenor Atterbury Mansion in Southampton, NY
Maison Gerard is pleased to announce that it will be presenting the sculptural works of Marino di Teana (1920–2012) from July 22 through August 26, 2017 in the gallery's first off-site exhibition. For this solo presentation of the late artist's work, Maison Gerard will showcase eighteen sculptures created over three decades. These works made of corten and stainless steel, ranging in size from small to monumental, will be shown within the landscaped gardens of a Grosvenor Atterbury mansion owned by Michael Bruno (founder of 1stdibs and Art-Design-Carta). Located on a private estate, this exhibition will be open to the public by appointment, Monday–Sunday. An opening reception will take place in Southampton, NY on Saturday, July 22 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.
Marino di Teana, who gained widespread recognition in the 1960s and worked well throughout the latter half of the twentieth century, is known for his long storied career, his monumental public commissions, and as one of the forerunners of architectural sculpture. A trained engineer and architect, di Teana envisioned sculpture and architecture as one. He employed the use of industrial materials like steel, viewed his sculptures as complete structures (sound in scale and structural balance), and pioneered a theory of form, called "tri-unity," wherein a sculptor's arrangement of negative space played as important a role as his arrangement of physical mass.
Marino di Teana's life was marked by a passion for art that took him from his small town in Italy to Buenos Aires, where he worked as a mason to pay for night classes in architecture, and at last to Paris, where he became homeless in order to pay for his study of sculpture, and slept in public gardens (often in front of the Musée Rodin). His break came in 1962 when one of his monumental sculptures won first prize in a competition held by Saint Gobain, chosen by a panel consisting of, among others, Ossip Zadkine, Serge Poliakoff, and Alberto Giacometti. Thereafter, di Teana produced over fifty monumental sculptures for public spaces throughout Europe; was given retrospectives at the Saar Museum in Saarbrücken, Germany and at the Musée d'Art Modern in Paris, France; represented Argentina at the Venice Biennale and France at the International Symposium of Arts and Sciences in Seoul; and was appointed a member of the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture of Argentina, was established a Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres by the French government, and was honored with a public monument in his birthplace of Teana, Italy.
This exhibition will be the first show of its kind in the United States—rare, primarily, for its range of scale. One the sculptures to be shown, Hommage à Lao Tseu, is an eighteen inch high stainless steel piece, (which, in a larger form resides in the Centre Georges Pompidou), while another sculpture slated for exhibition, Liberté, is 120 inches high and composed of corten—a model of a piece commissioned in 1989 for a square in the Fontenay-sous-Bois, which, standing at 69 feet, was until recently the highest steel sculpture in Europe.
While Marino di Teana's versatility and immense scale impress, it is his purity of design that ultimately commands our attention. No piece is a mere architectural model. Regardless of whether his pieces fit in the palm of your hand or, instead, rise to the height of city blocks, they are at once fully conceived sculptures and beautifully composed structures, not a single one of which could be wrought without di Teana's singularly deft understanding of space.
As Benoist F. Drut, Gallery Principal of Maison Gerard, says of the exhibit, "not only has his work never been available to an American audience in such a comprehensive exhibition, but, presented against the brilliant backdrop of an Atterbury home and its grounds, we can at last experience the breadth and scope of this incredible artist's vision in a way the artist intended: in the open and on its own terms. We're very pleased to have this opportunity to convey how relevant di Teana remains today." To create the idyllic setting for these architectural sculptures, Drut turned to friend and landscape designer, Kimberly von Koontz, to create the perfect juxtaposition of layered cut grasses and wildflowers paths from which to discover and view these works.
Marino di Teana's work can be found in the permanent collections of the Tome, Japan, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Paris, the George Pompidou Center, the National Contemporary Art Museum, Korea, and The New Contemporary Art Museum MAC/VAL. It is also held in a number of private collections, including those of L'Oreal and Francois Pinault.
About Maison Gerard:
Maison Gerard exhibits a range of work—from French Art Deco and antiques to contemporary lighting and ceramics—with an emphasis on authenticity, historical context, and expertise. The gallery occupies two storefronts on 10th Street. At 43 E 10th Street, visitors will find exhibitions of work on the cutting edge of contemporary design. The space has hosted a series of compelling exhibitions that focus on artists and designers including Eric Astoul, Franck Chartrain, William T. Georgis, Kiko Lopez, Achille Salvagni, and Ayala Serfaty. At 53 E 10th Street, one finds emerging artists and Art Deco titans nestled together comfortably—their work cohabitating so naturally that it is difficult to imagine their distinct origins. Benoist F. Drut, Gallery Principal, carefully curates the spaces with works that are at once aesthetically and historically relevant, and above all, are exceptionally welcoming.

Umm Al Quwain Overview
Umm Al-Quwain was formed in 1775 when Sheikh Majid Al Mualla established Umm Al Quwain as an independent sheikhdom. Umm Al Quwain is translated as "Mother of Two Powers", referring to the tradition of seafaring among tribes in the emirate.
Umm Al Quwain Fort: A fort which was once home to the emirate's ruler and guarded the entrance to the old town, overseeing the sea on one side and the creek on the other. It eventually became a police station then a museum. The museum now houses artifacts found at important nearby sites including Al-Dour and houses a collection of weapons that were used through the emirate's history. It is located near a Masjid (Mosque) in Umm Al Quwain Bazaar.
Old Harbor: An old harbor located in the old town overlooking the traditional dhow building yard where skilled craftsmen continue to assemble these traditional boats. The harbor is surrounded by old coral stone houses that display features of the original architecture and intricate sculptured plaster work.
Islands of Umm Al Quwain: Islands that lie to the east of the mainland peninsula on a unique stretch of coastline consisting of sandy islands surrounded by dense mangrove forests, separated by a series of creeks.
The largest of the seven islands is Al Sinniyah, followed by Jazirat Al Ghallah and Al Keabe, all of which are visible from the old town. Tucked in between these and the coastal plains are the smaller islands of Al Sow, Al Qaram, Al Humaidi, Al Chewria and Al Harmala.
Al-Dour: Located roughly where the town of Umm Al Quwain is now, it is considered the largest pre-Islamic site on the Persian Gulf coast.Al-Dour was an important trading port from about 200 BC to 200 AD.
Thousands of graves are found among the houses of Al-Dour. In some cases the larger tombs contained the remains of more than one individual, perhaps a family.
Dreamland Aqua Park: the largest water park in the UAE is located on the coastline of Umm Al Quwain; about 40 minutes drive from Dubai, with 250,000 square meters expanse of landscaped gardens and over 30 rides, slides, and attractions. The Park is operated all year round with a daily capacity of ten thousand visitors.

Halloween is right around the corner and we have been counting down the days! My frightfully easy banner is hung, Halloween dinner is planned and my candy is waiting to pass out to eager trick-or-treaters! We have a big group of friends who head over with their little ones to trick-or-treat in our neighborhood.

And this year, I am going to whip up a batch of these easy, no-bake Sweet & Spooky Halloween S'mores Crackers!
I had been brainstorming for a week to come up with a fun way to use those puffy little ghost marshmallows. I didn't want to melt them or mix them in something or they would lose their cute shapes. And then it finally hit me! A quick and easy, no-bake, somewhat deconstructed Halloween s'mores! You only need a few basic ingredients and about 15 minutes until your sweet spooks are ready to eat!
Sweet Supplies
1. 5 whole graham crackers – separated into 4 small rectangles
2. Two squares of white Candiquick – melted according to package directions. After melting, I funneled my melted Candiquick into a mini squeeze bottle but you could also put the melted Candiquick in a sandwich bag and snip the tip to make drizzling easier. Or, just use a spoon!
3. Chubby little ghost marshmallows – one for each graham cracker rectangle
4. Your favorite seasonal sprinkles & sugars
Easy Instructions
That's it! One the Candiquick has set up, you can easily pull the crackers off of the wax paper to enjoy! No melty, sticky marshmallows or burnt tongues!!

FND 274 | Corporate and Foundation Relations for Capital Campaigns
Although major-gift individuals will constitute the majority of your capital-campaign prospects and actual donors, securing the right contributions from corporations and foundations can provide (depending on the timing) kick-off momentum and provide leverage for "last-mile" support for your campaign. Grant proposals for capital projects are one facet for sure, but you should also think about how you pursue discretionary funds. In this course, you will learn how to best relate to corporations and foundations about your campaign's goals and the multiplied impact to be made after the project is completed. Topics will include identifying leads and prospects, assigning the right solicitors, activating your networks to establish relationships, and proper planning and preparation for hosting site visits.
By the end of this course, you will be able to…
- Develop meaningful corporate and foundation prospect lists and craft appropriate cultivation and solicitation strategies for each.
- Compose clear and compelling foundation proposals tailored to the goals and key considerations of grantmakers.
- Effectively relate your campaign's goals to the issues that corporations seek to invest in and that resonate with corporate-social-responsibility decision makers.
- Executive Directors /CEOs
- Development Directors/Officers/VPs
- Other Development support staff
- Board finance, fundraising, facilities, and capital-campaign committee chairs
- Postponed: new dates to be announced

- Action Alert
- Economic Justice
Senate Moving Fast on Health Care
Don't sit this one out. Senators are moving fast to try and vote on a bill that cuts Medicaid by hundreds of billions of dollars -- an essential program that provides health care coverage for 69 MILLION people nationwide. This is an "all hands on deck" moment.
Health care for millions is in danger. Act now:
- Call your senators and urge them to protect Medicaid
- Listen to our advocacy training call
- Find out how Medicaid affects your state.
What senators hear now and in the coming days will determine whether they pass legislation that would destroy the system enabling some of the most vulnerable people in our country to have access to health care. Among the 23 million people who would be directly affected are seniors, children, veterans, people with disabilities, and people suffering with substance use and mental health conditions.
Your voice matters. Take action today.
The shockwaves from this bill – which Senate leadership plans to bring to a vote without any hearings and with very little notice – would have devastating effects on millions of lives and our economy. Your voice right now is critically important.
Don't be fooled by senators' promises that their bill is "better" than what passed the House. The effects will still be terrible. The Senate version will still end the guarantee of Medicaid. Sen. John Cornyn, the second-ranking Republican in the Senate, says the Senate bill will be 80 percent of what passed the House. The House bill cuts Medicaid by $850 billion over ten years and leaves 23 million people without coverage. 80 percent of that is still unacceptable.
Some senators are hoping that you aren't paying attention to these kinds of details. But we know that "the details" of health care policy are life and death.
We only have three weeks before Senate leadership is planning to vote – your action right now matters.

The No1 New York Times Bestseller
Before the string of hit songs, the Rat Pack, and the stellar movie career, Dean Martin spent ten years partnering Jerry Lewis in one of the most successful double acts of show business history. In this wise-cracking yet candid memoir, Lewis recalls with crystal clarity the highs and lows of his relationship with Dean: remembering their first meeting on a New York street corner one spring afternoon, the early improvised performances in mob owned nightclubs, and the giddy days of Hollywood super-stardom, when it seemed the couples high-rolling lifestyle would last for ever. It didn't. On July 24th 1956, Dean and Jerry split and the two men weren't to speak to one another for twenty years.
Jerry Lewis is one of the few surviving Hollywood legends from the period and he is a wonderful raconteur whose tales reveal much about Dean Martin's craftsmanship and enigmatic charm. In his own unique voice he evokes all the glamour of the era - the casinos, the endless pranks, the cocktails, the mobsters, and the women. He writes movingly too of the thrill of the youthful duo's sudden, startling success, and the slow sad erosion of the fun that followed.

OK. Before I even get started let me say that I just don't like to be told what to do. That's my independant personality. So it should be no suprise that sometimes recieving a "fix this" letter from my HOA, sort of sets me off. So maybe its just me. Anyway I got a letter about 30 days ago informing me that my house nees to be painted. Actually, it did need to be painted. So yeah I was a little cranky about about it, but not much I could say. It's hard to tell from this pic but the paint was really beginning to fade and the green shutters were looking really faded and old.
Ok, so I painted the house. I really mean that I painted the house. And it turned out pretty nice. We did a slight color change on the body of the house and changed the color of the shutters and front door. However the paint is not the problem. I just got another letter informing me that I have other violations. So let's play the HOA version of "Where's Waldo?" Take your best guess what the most recent violations are that so seriously threaten the integrity of our neighborhood. Go ahead and make your best guess. Remember that this is a public forum so let's play nice.

Category: Vocabulary
I begin this article by repeating the common sense suggestion that "To be successful in any endeavor one should do what successful people do and avoid doing what unsuccessful people do."How does this common sense strategy relate to the vital role vocabulary plays in improving one's reading skills? Successful fluent reader's vocabulary knowledge is the core skill that enables them to read faster and better with improved recall and especially improved comprehension. Let me explain.The importance of vocabulary knowledge can quickly be seen as the fundamental tool that enables one to read groups of words with single eye fixations. Why? Because when a word or a group of words are immediately recognizable, meaning that you know the meaning of the word or words and you do not require decoding to understand, then this imparts a unique physiological characteristic... your eyes do not fixate on known vocabulary nor require re-reading!For example, if you read a group of words (units of meaning), e.g., at the restaurant, the eye does not fixate on at, does not fixate on the, perhaps you may fixate on restaurant if you don't know what that word means. However, when the next group of words is you will be served food, from the context of these two groups of words, you will understand that the word restaurant refers to a facility where food is served. At that point, you understand the meaning of the word and that word, restaurant, is then added to your sight vocabulary.Research demonstrates a positive correlation between vocabulary knowledge and one's ability to successfully transition from being a Fluent Oral Reader as a child to becoming a Fluent Silent Reader (post 3rd grade) for a lifetime of effective and efficient reading.A second positive correlation is that the amount one reads is the major contributor to building one's vocabulary. The typical daily oral language experiences in which we all participate, i.e., conversations, do not contain enough new or less frequently used words to bring about significant vocabulary growth. Only reading will enlarge your vocabulary.Through the use of The Reader's Edge 2,100 Prime Words, users will become familiar with words that represent approximately 75% of all words in print. In The Reader's Edge Eye Exercises we use 2,100 Prime Words to construct our 2 to 8 word phrases. This dramatically facilitates teaching one to see, read and process groups of words with each eye fixation... without vocalizing.Once you become familiar with our list of Prime Words you will dramatically improve your ability to read groups of words at a time, allowing you to read two to three times faster with improved comprehension and recall.Remember, the more you read the more your vocabulary will grow.You can help maintain and practice your newly learned reading skills by reading magazines and newspapers. Why? Because the text is presented in column format, making it easier to see and read more than one word at a time. Text in this format is similar to the training exercises in The Reader's Edge.

Early Man is a brilliant return to form from Aardman Animations. It is packed full of genius slapstick comedy from start to finish. Aardman is famous for stop frame animations using plasticine that creates a truly unique style. The y use simple storylines for all the family that is tied together with a very British blend of comedy. Probably the most famous contributor to Aardman is Nick Park. He came up with creations like Creature Comforts, Wallace & Gromit and Chicken Run. He has been nominated for six Oscars and won four of them. That includes the best-animated feature for the 2005 Wallace and Gromit movie – The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.
A whole generation has been brought up on Aardman Animation creations. As a huge fan myself I have looked forward to each new release from the studio. However it has to be said that the attempts of computer-generated versions of their films never quite had the same feel. Thankfully Early Man has a real back to basics feel from the studio and is just brilliant.
Nick Park writes, produces, directs and even stars in the film. He has created a movie every bit as good as Wallace and Gromit – The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. One of the things that made that movie so great was the excellent cast and Early Man is no different. The cast is fantastic with lead roles played by Eddie Redmayne, Tom Hiddleston, Maisie Williams and Timothy Spall. All are award-winning actors who give excellent performances. But where the true genius lies with Aardman productions is the brilliant comedy that binds it all together and provides lots of laugh out load moments. It is clear looking at the rest of the cast, they had no shortage of British comedians who were happy to take part. The likes of Jonny Vegas, Richard Ayoade, Mark Williams and Rob Brydon all add their unique humour and the laughs are plenty.
This is a great fun movie for all the family and both kids and adults will love this film. Personally, I loved this film and thoroughly expect it to be nominated for as many awards as Nick Parks previous productions. This is a brand new inclusion to the subscription of Amazon Prime Video in September 2018. So if you are looking for something new to watch with the whole family give it a go.

Take Your Toddler Ice Skating For The First Time
Fleming was a master skater in both free and compulsories skating. It kept me from sticking my free leg behind me and put my centre of gravity more solidly over the skating foot throughout the whole movement. This is an ice hockey skating theme party so put ice skates on the party table – either about the corners of the celebration table or as the focal point at the center of the table. So you begin a figure 8 at the centre where the two circles intersect. Q: What are thoughts on the current tubing of figure skating along with also the new judging system? Kids in the present generation are in fact suffering from way too much cosseting. Trainers skates often possess strapped closures so it is simpler and easier for the much younger kids to fasten their own skates independently. Yet much to do tonight before bed. This thread can be sewn into the fingertips of gloves so a skater who has a beloved pair of gloves may continue to wear them and still use them on touch-screens.
For those of you parents who've been through the stupid axel, possibly twice or 3 times, you understand what I am talking about.

Or should you wear size 11.5 U.S. Being an important part of the hockey equipment, these have to be a number smaller that your shoes, to provide a greater stability. The popular tourist destination today boasts the world's highest wine cellar as part of a revolving restaurant offering 360 degree views of the water and city. Trekking around Dane County in the many rinks that provide summer ice today seems like small potatoes, really. When the puck is shot by a player the rate may reach over 100 mph and so all that padding is necessary.

Skatergirl321 3 Fragrant What is the Different between a ice hockey and figure skate? Many men and women take part in one of two categories of this action, figure skating or hockey skating. The third category is the tough surface skating which has sub categories such as roller skating using roller skates, inline skating at which participants race inline skates and skateboarding amongst others. Many adult skaters utilize a flat back helmet when they believe they need head protection for studying components that have a high risk of head blows.
Stop skating in case your feet get numb, or when you experience pain.
They're designed to provide protection to the foot. The luxury athletic shoes come in different shapes and sizes to match unique types of foot. Shoe Size, which means that your skate size will probably be 1.5 sizes down from your U.S. Really, your toes should touch the inside of the shoe marginally. Stop skating in case your feet get numb, or when you experience pain. Most ice rinks will have rental skates that fit feet. Not only will the new air relax her disposition, but there is lots of chances to tease her, make her laugh, and take her thoughts completely off whatever was bothering her. If you're using a rotary cutter, then make sure your mat is under your pattern bits. Speaking of puppy training, I used to train my dogs with a clicker to signal them they were doing the right thing. If you've ever seen Olympians or professional actors, they do exactly the same sorta thing.
They may be ordered the exact same day and sent directly to a house or business. All figure skates have basically the exact same structure: they're skating boots with metal blades attached to them with special screws. I learned a few different things that day I had no idea that blades and boots are actually different parts of equipment. If you are looking for a means to gain more power, create more speed, and expertise maximum agility or just to really be sure your getting the most out of your skates than think about having your skate blades calibrated. Figure skaters can not. Jumping takes excellent muscle control and strength, particularly the quad jumps we will be seeing in the men's division. Figure skates are generally a quicker skate compared to hockey skates. Additional the anit-shock method in Edea Piano Figure Skates absorbs the ice chatter which makes skating feel a lot smoother. These blades paired using an lightweight Jackson Figure Skate Boots will make it easier for skaters to leap higher.
Talk to: 1thousandknives Is it easier to learn to skate figure skates or hockey skates? Spend some time with your child and allow them to play around and have fun trying on all the skates. They fulfill your urge to ice skate for pleasure. Attractive ice skating dresses, ice skating trousers, men's ice skating pants, tights, men's shirts, and more, are readily available. Now you've opted to join a team, you're likely to have to start considering assembling your very own set of hockey gear. A thick and unwieldy waterproof ski jacket, isn't what the woman going to get coffee with her friends in the mall want to be observed in. There is little give when you hit the ice, along with your knees are often likely to consume the bulk of the abuse. Generally there, you can use different events such as the Football League and also the Hockey Little league. Oftentimes there are outdoor concerts, or performances that may be enjoyed. As it's with resolving problems, there isn't any better time to discover a way than doing this now. 039;t noticed the double blade skates just tend to slip all around the ice, and then when they do go to routine skates they have a really hard time.

Occasionally, I've clicked on articles about why some people believe that global warming is really a hoax. I usually feel embarrassed by the sense of unreality that pervades the article; but, sometimes I do have to take a step back and take a closer look and reevaluate my knowledge in regards to Earth Science as it pertains to global warming induced climate change. In doing so, I happened across a website that has proven to be quite useful as a jumping off point in launching my own investigation on whatever topic is in question:
Though I'm loath to dash someone's sense of hope, the "ignorance is bliss" attitude is far too costly when it comes to this particular subject.

Best Showing Tips For Selling a Home
Don't Restrict Access if Possible
One of the best showing tips for selling a home is being exceptionally flexible! When selling a home if buyers can't get in when they want to, you'll make things awfully hard on yourself and your agent.
Quite often sellers will put up barriers to access such as making advanced showing notice a necessity.
What some sellers fail to understand is that buyers quite often don't look at one home. They will schedule multiple homes to view on a given day. If your home is the only one with showing restrictions, the buyer may skip seeing your home.
A missing showing is a missed opportunity to sell your house. It is as simple as that. One of the other homes may catch the buyers fancy, and they never come back to view your home.
If you don't want to leave money on the table, it should be a priority to get as many people through your door as possible. Making showings complicated is not going achieve those goals.
Don't Make Your Real Estate Agent Attend The Showing
One of the more significant misconceptions in real estate sales is that agents somehow influence a buyers decision to purchase a home. Sorry, folks, it doesn't work that way. Real Estate agents don't have magical powers of influence. Your agent will never talk someone into buying a home.
Buyers typically know within a few minutes of walking through a home whether they are interested or not. Having your real estate agent present pointing out that you just painted the bedrooms, installed granite counters in your bathroom and added a Nest thermostat isn't going make them buy your home.
Buying a home is a HUGE emotional decision. It is not like buying a pair of shoes that a salesman might be able to talk you into purchasing. So what difference does it make if the listing agent is there?
It matters plenty! Why? For a couple of reasons – most buyers and their agents don't want the listing agent hovering over them. Buyers and their agents want to be able to speak freely about the house. Frankly, they can't do that when your agent is there.
More importantly, when you require your agent to be there, you're adding another level of difficulty in showing the home. Your agent will now have to match their schedule with the buyers and their agent.
Let me be frank – if your real estate agent can do this all the time you have picked the wrong agent! A real estate agent with all the time in the world on their hands is not who you want. What this means is nobody else is hiring them. Top producing real estate agents do not accompany showings!
Defer Your Showings
One of the most powerful sales strategies, especially when in a seller's market is to start your showings after it has been listed for sale for a period of time. This is what's referred to as deferred showings.
Essentially you list your home in the multiple listing service at the beginning of the week but don't start the showings until the weekend. What this does is give all the buyers in the marketplace ample time to know your home is for sale. It provides all of them the opportunity to potentially buy the house. As a seller, you don't have to worry about leaving money on the table.
You'll be exposing your home to the broadest audience possible. When you list your home the traditional way it's possible you could receive an offer on the first day, it hits the market. It might be an offer you would accept.
What you'll never know, however, if other buyers also would have made an offer! Guess what happens when you receive multiple offers on your home? If you're thinking bidding war, you're 100 percent correct.
With a bidding war, you get the terms you want. It's entirely possible and in fact likely, you'll sell your home higher than the asking price.
Deferred showings are something to ask your real estate agent about. It is important to note that a deferred showing is NOT the same as a coming soon listing. Coming soon marketing may or may not be right for your circumstances. Take a look at the article to see why.
When you have deferred showings, you also eliminate any need to host an open house. Instead of having a bunch of deadbeats going through your home, increasing the risk of theft you'll have only qualified buyers.
Tips for Showing Your Home
Now that we have covered the sales strategy of showings let's talk about presentation. The best showing tips for sellers start with curb appeal. First impressions are everything, especially when you are selling a home. You often only get one chance to put your best foot forward. Potential buyers will either be drawn to the home, be ambivalent, or be pushed away.
Ideally, your staging will excite buyers so much that they can start to see themselves living in the home. But to accomplish this, you are going to need to pull out all the stops when it comes to your showing.
1. Make sure your exterior is presentable.
Going the extra mile with your homes exterior appearance is important. Here are some tips for getting it in shape:
These are all small improvements that will increase the value of your home. Read the article for more ways to increase your house value.
2. Offer a warm welcome.
You have been to homes where you feel welcome. You have also been to homes where you don't. When showing, you want buyers to feel like they belong—better yet, you want them to feel like they are right on the edge of living there themselves. There are some things you can do to encourage a welcome feeling, including:
3. Don't skimp on heating or cooling.
Homes are designed to provide shelter, a safe and welcoming space out of the elements. A desirable home is one that allows us to stay comfortable no matter what the weather is outside. Unfortunately, some sellers get so caught up in their frugal ways—keeping the thermostat at a certain level to save money—that they create an unpleasant environment for potential buyers.
You should keep your home as comfortable as possible while you are showing it. In cooler weather, turn the heat up so that the house is warm and inviting, a soft cocoon where buyers can picture themselves with their families while winter storms rage.
In warmer months, turn the air conditioner on and keep the house cool and pleasant. Buyers want to know that when the summer sun is beating down, they can depend on their new home to keep the sweat away.
Besides making your home comfortable, generous heating or cooling can make buyers stick around for longer than they usually would on days where the weather is harsh. The longer they shelter from what is going on outside, the more likely they are to see the home as a great place to live.
4. Cultivate an inviting atmosphere.
One of the keys to effective home staging is creating atmosphere, a mood that can be felt and enjoyed by everyone who walks through the door. There are several things you can do to enhance the mood in the home, including:
5. Pay attention to scents.
Some risks come with relying too heavily on scents when showing a home. What smells good to one person may be unpleasant, or even harmful, to another. It is usually best to avoid any scents that are too strong or too pervasive—like having every room smell like pine or vanilla. If the weather is beautiful opening up the windows and letting fresh air in can be much better than artificial scents.
Of course, if there are bad odors outside or too much noise, it may be better to keep them closed.
Another important thing to remember with scents is that you should never promise what you cannot deliver. Filling the kitchen with baking smells, but having no baked goods to snack on, is only going to frustrate buyers..
6. Brighten things up.
Buyers are there to see the home, which means they need light. It is a good general rule to go through the house and turn on every light you can have.
With all the lights on, buyers are not going to be stumbling around in search of light switches, and they are not going to be suspicious when they cannot view specific areas of the home.
Even better than indoor lights is opening up the blinds and letting the sunshine in. However, if you have certain things you want to avoid showcasing, like an ugly fence out back, you can keep some curtains drawn.
One of the things I always counsel my clients on is making sure lights are turned on before showings. This is one of the best showing tips for selling a home, and it costs you next to nothing.
7. Offer snacks and refreshments.
You want potential buyers to stay and look around. You also want them to feel at home like they could live there. Providing snacks and refreshments helps you accomplish both of these goals.
Leaving some refreshments is a nice gesture that could influence in a positive way how the buyer thinks about you even though you've never met. No one will have to leave because they are hungry or thirsty either.
8. Make sure your real estate agent has a feedback system.
If you've followed through with these showing tips then undoubtedly people are going to a lovely property. From your perspective, you'll probably want to know what their thinking. Do they like my home? Did they hate it? Is there something I can do to improve the showing experience?
As a seller, you should expect your agent to provide feedback. A top agent will have a showing feedback system in place to let you know what buyers are thinking. Insist on it!
Showing feedback should be part of a carefully crafted marketing plan to sell your home. When interviewing real estate agents pay particular attention to this.

This month, I welcome Laiq Raja, MD, FACC, FSCAI, Jason Mendivil, DPM, and Lorie Henderson, APRN, MSN, NP-C. Their approach to a critical limb ischemia (CLI) care pathway is not only saving limbs, but changing lives one leg at a time. — Gary Clifton, Vice President, Terumo Business Edge
Dr. Raja, can you please briefly describe your critical limb ischemia program and your involvement in managing this particular patient population?
Dr. Laiq Raja: In a few words, we are working to prevent unnecessary amputations. Patients with critical limb ischemia generally have poor outcomes, because they have poor follow-up. They are a specialized patient population with specific needs that require constant surveillance and interactions with multiple specialties to ensure that they have a successful outcome. Thus, we have established the concept of a "circle of care", whereby a patient is introduced into the circle of care and is seen and treated by several key physicians, departments, and medical personnel. The various key components of the circle ensure that a patient is properly assessed, therapy is delivered, and there is constant care of their wound, getting us closer to that successful outcome.
As for myself, I am an interventional cardiologist by training, but from the beginning of my career, I recognized that peripheral arterial disease was under-diagnosed and under-treated. This was not an area most interventionalists venture into or have any vast experience or expertise with. Over the last decade and a half, I have made it my mission to not only help treat patients with this potentially devastating disease, but to further the development of the revascularization field among my peers. Through several industry partnerships, I am fortunate enough to be able spread my message, and share my techniques, successes, failures, and strategies to achieve positive outcomes for patients with peripheral arterial disease and critical limb ischemia. My goal is to one day "standardize" the way we as physicians treat critical limb ischemia, and that all patients have positive outcomes.
Dr. Mendivil, you are a DPM who has training in surgical techniques for amputation and reconstruction below the ankle. Please share more about your training with us, and how you and Dr. Raja work together to treat this population.
Dr. Jason Mendivil: There is a big difference in the training of the DPM now from that of the past. Now DPMs have a minimum of three years of training in reconstructive foot and ankle surgery that facilitates limb salvage surgery. There is a lot of biomechanics involved in the lower extremity and therefore, a lot of of attention needs to go into how we perform and conduct our reconstruction efforts to ensure we can provide the patient with as functional a foot as possible. The foot and ankle are a dynamic interplay of ligaments, tendons, and bones. Amputation of these structures can alter gait and create further lifelong complications for the patient.
CLI is a very co-morbid population. Typically, patients are diabetic and have peripheral arterial disease, and some degree of obesity is not uncommon. Our healthcare system is far too quick to send patients for amputation. Much like coronary disease, this is all about blood flow and preventing tissue loss. More specifically, it is about targeted vessel revascularization. If I am going to prevent a below-the-knee (BTK) amputation because of problems in the foot, I need to know what vessels are involved and more importantly, I need blood flow returned to those vessels. Then and only then can I do the necessary reconstruction to prevent a BTK amputation by working to limit the tissue loss and preserve as much of the foot as possible. Foot revascularization needs to be understood and treated accordingly. I work closely with Dr. Raja to restore blood flow to the appropriate angiosome treatment area. The angiosome map correlates vessel blood flow to particular areas of the foot. It is imperative to have appropriate blood flow in the targeted angiosome to ensure proper wound healing, and assures we have wound- and incision-site directed revascularization.
Dr. Raja: Diabetic patients are most often inflicted with infrapopliteal disease, making it more difficult to achieve a successful outcome. Revascularization above the knee (ATK) and BTK are two different entities. Patients with critical limb ischemia almost always have some sort of tibial involvement. Patients with ATK disease are, for the most part, claudicants, unless they have multi-level disease. Patients with infrapopliteal disease present a significant challenge, as the vessels are smaller and heavily calcified. Options for treatment are therefore limited. You have to stay in the lumen, which is why techniques like retrograde access or tibial access are growing in popularity.
Lorie, you are serving as a nurse navigator in terms of ensuring the patient receives the appropriate treatment and more importantly, following up to so that the patient keeps moving through the system. As Dr. Raja noted, this is called the "circle of care". What are some of your challenges and successes in this effort?
Lorie Henderson, NP-C: It is essential to follow these patients, and this is my role as the navigator. Historically, we have seen that when a podiatrist admits a patient to the floor, the patient may sit there for several days with no intervention or medical consult. With the "circle of care", we have a process whereby if that patient comes in with a wound, I am notified immediately, and subsequently, the vascular specialist is notified that we likely have a case. If it is an acute critical limb ischemia situation, this can occur at any time of the day and it is important to activate the team as soon as possible. It is similar to a ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) protocol. Routinely, it is my job to move this patient through the various stages of care: angiogram, intervention, wound care, reconstruction, rehab, and amputation (if necessary, only after a committee review). The follow-up process after discharge is most important to allow for active surveillance of wound healing and to ensure there is enough perfusion to the wound. We use home health care nurses and frequent follow-up visits to facilitate active monitoring of blood flow. At any point that there is an interruption in the wound healing, we go immediately back to vascular evaluation.
What Dr. Raja and Dr. Mendivil are doing is somewhat unique: working together to give the patient the optimal outcome. If you go around the country, there aren't that many places employing these techniques and the approach to how we manage these complex patients. But Dr. Raja is making it his life's work to perfect and employ techniques that yield success in terms of revascularizing patients who in the past would probably have gone straight to amputation. There is a huge need for continued education, not only for the patient, but for podiatrists, primary care physicians, and any physician, for that matter, so that they are more aware of the early signs of non-healing foot wounds, especially if the patient is diabetic. Our "patient-centered" approach is designed to ensure the patient receives the necessary care that, if possible, can prevent an amputation. Our program has seen a reduction of 75% for amputations in the last several years.1
Dr. Raja, you have characterized acute critical limb ischemia as the STEMI of the lower extremity. Please explain.
Dr. Raja: This is the patient who presents with a cold limb that is in jeopardy of shutting down due to lack of blood flow. Much like cardiac patients experiencing a MI, these patients are experiencing sudden circulatory shutdown due to thrombus or a blood clot. There is no opportunity to develop collaterals, and the limb is cold, white, and in need of immediate blood flow. If not treated with 1-2 hours (versus days), patients experience permanent nerve damage, which leads to foot motor skills dysfunction in the affected limb. In our program, we have someone who is on call if these patients come through the emergency department. It is no different than cardiac patients: time is of the essence. This is an integral part of our program. When we treat these patients in a timebound manner, we can prevent tissue loss and nerve damage.
However, this is contrary to chronic limb ischemia, the ongoing loss of blood flow over time, which leads to chronic total occlusion(s) and subsequent vessel vulnerability, especially in the smaller vessels of the foot. Since many of these patients are diabetic, they will typically have diabetic neuropathy and therefore not be aware of pain. Even a small injury to the foot can lead to tissue damage and, if left untreated, tissue loss. Many times, patients aren't even aware of having chronic limb ischemia until the tissue damage occurs (black toe). It is these patients who are getting amputations, not the acute limb ischemia patients, because when we restore blood flow in the acute situation, there is continued viable tissue.
Dr. Mendivil, who else needs to become involved to ensure these patients receive appropriate care?
Dr. Mendivil: There are several departments and specialists that need to be looped into the treatment plan. Infectious disease specialists, wound healing specialists, internal medicine, orthopedics, and rehab are probably the key stakeholders. Managing co-morbidities, glycemic control, and infections are critical. It is essential that the team communicates and reviews the care plan, and the progression of the patient through that plan. We are attempting to put protocols in place where we can ensure each patient follows a standardized care plan. For instance, we want to make sure no patient goes for amputation without a distal runoff of the limb, and we have our orthopedists on board to ensure this happens. We are in the process of working with our non-invasive testing to reduce the number of false negative doppler ultrasounds that we see. Unfortunately, there are too many circumstances where the arterial ultrasound comes back on a patient with several black toes and the report says good flow to the foot. In my case, I need to feel pulses, assess tissue loss, etc., and I send the patient for an angiogram. When we do see an abnormal ultrasound, we want to engage the CLI team.
Lorie, what kind of results do you see in the hospital with this approach to caring for the CLI patient?
Lorie: Well, by taking advantage of our circle of care and by utilizing a team approach, we are seeing reduced readmissions, fewer repeat surgeries, and shorter length of stay (LOS). In fact, nationally, a typical LOS for these patients is approximately 6-8 days.2 Our LOS is currently averaging 4-5 days. Because the medical staff providing the interventional care for these patients all have varying degrees of experience and expertise in distal peripheral disease, it is important to capture the patient up front upon admission. But more importantly, it is about working with case management and doing what is right for the patient at the right time. By making sure we see the patient upon admission, we can prevent unnecessary procedures that might be performed prior to ensuring full revascularization has been completed. There are circumstances where instead of keeping the patient in the hospital waiting for several days, we will discharge and bring them back as an outpatient. You always want to be working within the appropriate diagnosis-related group (DRG). There is also the opportunity for the hospital, if they have a wound healing service or peripheral vascular rehab facility, to provide the necessary reimbursed care that is needed for these patients post reconstruction. It is important to note that there is a revenue component, but just as important is the cost savings that occurs by reducing or eliminating unnecessary repeat procedures and surgeries, and shortening LOS.
As for the peripheral interventions themselves, you can't just look at number of cases and whether your cath lab is doing more procedures. We have found these cases to be of greater margin contribution, certainly more than your routine percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Additionally, it needs to be broken down to the other ancillary services that will be utilized and benefit from the treatment of this patient for up to a year or when the patient returns, because these patients are never cured.
Dr. Raja: This type of program can be of great benefit to the hospital, besides the economic gains. A program like this can help establish a hospital as a center of excellence and therefore, bring great credibility to the hospital, as well as the healthcare system they may be a part of. This is about quality outcomes for patients, something our healthcare system is focused on. It is good for everyone.
So, in your collective opinions, what do we need to do going forward in the management of these patients?
Dr. Raja: This is not about being a cardiologist, vascular surgeon, or interventional radiologist. It is about being a specialist in peripheral disease management. In Europe, they already have a specialty, angiology. The angiologist is someone whose specialty, regardless of specialty training, deals with disease of the arteries exclusively.
If physicians are going to be successful in treating this disease (BTK), then they must be committed to learning and obtaining the skills they need. There is just too much disease with not enough attention by the specialists needed to treat it. No patient should go to amputation without an angiogram — at a minimum.
Lorie: This is about hospitals having physicians who are committed to approaching this patient population differently. In the concept of a circle of care, it is important for me to talk to each physician involved in the case. We discuss and document which vessel(s) are involved, matching it to the affected area (angiosome), ensuring we get an intervention that generates blood flow to those vessels, and if the physician can't re-perfuse that area, we discuss what should be done next. It requires educating all physicians and trying to change the way we look at treating peripheral arterial disease. It is a paradigm shift that focuses on wound-directed revascularization instead of just obtaining a 1- or 2-vessel runoff and hoping for wound healing. There are times when repeat revascularization or multiple surgical procedures may be needed, but we have to set this expectation at the beginning with the patient, the family, and the team that this may be a lengthy process and we all have to commit to the process. This can be accomplished with this team approach. The goal is to heal the wound and save the limb.
Dr. Mendivil: And for me, if I am going to attempt a TMA (transmetatarsal amputation), I have to know that the area is adequately perfused in order to ensure healing. I can't rely on a single vessel runoff. I have to see the whole picture — all the vessels. It needs to be wound-directed therapy.
Any final comments?
Dr. Raja: It is critical that these patients be diagnosed and treated in an expeditious fashion. Time to intervention is key. I take the approach and promote a "fail fast" treatment algorim. In other words, if the current method of intervention is not yielding a successful outcome, then you should immediately switch to your second or third option. Which in turn will decrease radiation exposure, contrast given, physician fatigue, and overall case time. I'd also like to mention that physicians interested in this specialty need to be attending meetings like Amputation Prevention Symposium (AMP), New Cardiovascular Horizons (NCVH), Vascular InterVentional Advances (VIVA), Leipzig Interventional Course (LINC), etc., and remain current with the latest tools and techniques that help treat these complex patients. Lastly, don't forget, "Tibials are your friends".
Dr. Mendivil: It's your leg, your life, your team! Human beings are not reptiles; your leg is not growing back. People don't understand the long-term sequela of having a limb removed. There are physical limitations that further exacerbate their underlying co-morbidities (heart disease, obesity, etc.). I don't think, as a medical society, we are adequately informing the patient of how their life will be changed forever — not to mention the mortality rate. The art of limb salvage initially begins with an increase in blood flow and perfusion to the foot, followed by amputation and surgical reconstruction to provide and maintain a plantigrade, functional foot type for ambulation. In several cases, this involves multiple trips to the operating room, and the use of advanced surgical and wound healing techniques.
Lorie: I don't think the general public and the medical profession are fully aware of the mortality rate, which is 50% in 2 years.2 We need to increase the urgency surrounding the need to address these patients. In our program, implementing a circle of care that facilitates the management of the patient from the time they are admitted to discharge and follow-up means our patients are managed and monitored, and we are seeing phenomenal results.

2K By Gingham, the artist-based t-shirt company now entering its 12th year, which represents over 100 artists' designs globally, will kick off their highly anticipated, inaugural exhibition featuring original artwork by 40 of its artist collaborators.
The 2K t-shirt line, which began in Japan, was sparked by a passion for art and a mission to bring the arts to a larger audience. An initial journey to the US to seek out original artistic images was met with frustration as the majority of t-shirt prints failed to move beyond highly recognizable, mainstream artists. This experience launched the quest to bring a broader scope of artists into the public eye, thus establishing the roots of the 2K artist t-shirt editions.
Together with New Image Art gallery in Los Angeles, 2K By Gingham will showcase the work of 40 artists from the t-shirt line for their premiere US Exhibition and Pop-Up Shop. Included will be well-known artists such as Milton Glaser, Janette Beckman, Deanne Cheuk, and David Shrigley in addition to many talented, up-and-coming artists in the spirit of 2K By Gingham.
The Pop-up shop will contain collections from past seasons as well as the new Woman's Line, which debuts this spring, and other exciting paraphernalia from the artists.
Please join us for an evening of art, celebration, and 2K By Gingham t-shirt shopping. For the first two hours of the evening, Mezcal and Tequila tasting will be available, courtesy of Metl Reserva Especial. Throughout the night, drinks will be provided by Primo Beer, Hawai'i's original beer. Dublub.com's Hoseh and DJ Nobody will generously supply the evening's music.

In the Community: Don Pratt – Naples Bears Football
Production Manager, Donny Pratt, produces more than just a quality printed piece; he produces winning football teams as well. He started with his oldest son Ethan, a incoming Junior at Palmetto Ridge High and now coaches his youngest son Owen, a member of the twelve-year and under team.
In his eleventh year as a youth football coach, Donny has worked with over 400 players from four to twelve years of age. It hasn't been always been a player or coach's dream. He inherited a program that didn't win a single game his first season. "It was tough," said Donny "but the kids kept learning and working hard, and they became a good little team."
Along with his wife and team mom, Kim, the team and program has become more than just football. After Hurricane Irma shortened their season, they all came together for the community. "Everybody was checking on each other to see how the other families made out. We all kinda knew we could depend on each other for whatever was needed."
Donnie's team rallied in that Irma shortened season to make the playoffs and they continue to work as the Spring season is coming to a close. If you happen to see a Palmetto Ridge HS game this year, chances are good you'll see "Coach Donny" at the top of the stands watching all his kids getting it done on the field.

Health care dominating McMorris Rodgers' talks
Wed., Aug. 19, 2009
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers is getting an earful this summer from constituents over the health care debate.
McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., back in Eastern Washington for Congress' August recess, said today, "The hot topic is health care. It has exploded in August."
Meeting with The Spokesman-Review editorial board, McMorris Rodgers said, "It doesn't matter where I go. I've never seen an issue become so dominant so quickly."
McMorris Rodgers said she is often asked about health insurance provided to members of Congress. The federally funded system offers several choices. McMorris Rodgers chose Blue Cross and Blue Shield and pays $400 monthly for health coverage and another $200 monthly for dental and vision care. She said she actually received better coverage when she was a member of the Washington Legislature.
McMorris Rodgers offered no prediction on what Congress may eventually do about health care reform, but she acknowledged the confusion. "It's impossible for anyone to know everything," she said. "There are so many versions."
