Organizers seek donations for Sacramento farmers market 主辦單位尋求捐款薩克拉門托農貿市場. Organizers of an effort to add a mural to the site of a popular Sacramento farmers market are ramping up their efforts to solicit community donations, beginning with an upcoming dinner at Mulvaney’s B&L . The Aug. 1 dinner, prepared by Patrick Mulvaney , will include four courses with a farm-fresh theme. It costs $75 per person or $750 for a 10-person table, with proceeds benefitting the mural campaign, dubbed Bright Underbelly . The 70,0000-square-foot mural would add color to the gray cement that dominates a farmers market held Sundays underneath the freeway at Eighth and W streets. The fundraising dinner is limited to 125 guests, according to Tre Borden , project manager for the mural effort. Tickets were available online, but sold out by Friday afternoon. Borden is working with Sacramento-based L/C Mural & Design for the project, which would cover the space above the farmers market as well as...

HEALTH & SAFETY 7 health myths that might surprise you (BPT) - Living a healthy life takes some resolve, but success often comes down to knowing what pays the biggest dividends for a given effort. Health coaches are great sources for this insight. They’ve seen it all on the job and learned a lot in their training. Myth No. 1: An aerobic workout boosts your metabolism all day.  Wrong, it just burns calories while you’re doing it. Muscle-strengthening exercises, however, will burn calories long after your workout. Myth No. 2: If you don’t break a sweat, it’s not a workout.  Wrong, sweat is just the body’s way of cooling itself. A better reflection of effort is the talk test: your workout is moderate if you can talk, but not sing, and vigorous if you need to take a breath every few words. Myth No. 3: You should stretch before you exercise.  Not really, you could hurt yourself. Better to stretch after you’re warmed up with light, smooth movement of gradually i...

The meaning behind the name "China" Did you know? The Chinese name for China is called " Zhōng Guó " (中国), which literally translates into “Middle Kingdom”. First used almost 3,000 years ago during the Zhou Dynasty (1066-771 BC), the name reflected their ancient worldview that China was at the center of the world. The name is so apt that even centuries later today, the name has not changed.

Potential Safety Issues, Possible Health Hazards, a Need For Pest Control – Reasons Not to Let Your Client Skip the Inspection Process Homebuyers will have a lot of tasks to take care of and checks to write before the deal can be finalized on their new property. No matter how prepared they may have felt entering into the buying process, it can be very overwhelming and stressful to shell out so much money. So when the time comes to schedule the inspection, it may cross their mind to just skip that part and it’s cost. However, there are many important reasons for a real estate agent to step in and encourage their client not to go that route. Home inspections can reveal unappealing circumstances about a property (potential safety issues, possible health hazards or the need for pest control) that should be dealt with before the final contract is signed. Real Estate Agent’s Role in the Inspection As mentioned above, perhaps the most significant role a real estate agent plays in th...

What Ages are Buying Homes? What age bracket should you be targeting? Whether you’re on this side of the table or that side of the table this is a question you should be asking yourself. What does your ideal client look like? In this post-recession era your target market might look a little different than you’d expect. Take potential homebuyers for instance. According to the latest data just 36% of young Americans (35 and under) own a home. This is despite the fact that 90% prefer owning to renting. The problems facing young people when trying to buy a home are obvious especially in this kind of climate. Student loan debt is astronomical, tight lending standards and low credit scores compound the issue, and tough competition in the market – all these make it nearly impossible for young people to enter the market. How can you weave the fine line between making dreams come true and making realistic decisions? Where do you join practicality with idealism? It’s not easy but it’s out...
