In the wake of Michael Jackson passing, it’s Michael hysteria all over again and his tunes are on every channel. The King of Pop healed with his music and has influenced the lives of millions. This power is undeniable - music is a force among us that when harnessed by the artist can have an incredible positive effect.
The local Miami chapter of Musicians on Call, an organization focused on bringing music to the bedside of patients, recognizes that power. They have been working with talent to pass on the vibe of healing through music. I was introduced to this charity last weekend and feel it’s a valuable cause to spread. Musicians on Call is searching for local musicians to volunteer their time to play for patients. If you’re interested, drop us a comment with your contact information and we’ll pass it on.
Drop us a line, help them grow and spread the vibe in Miami.

Do you live in South Palm Beach or Broward County? Are you currently considering remodeling your home? Have you considered installing natural stone pavers but could not bring yourself to spend the money? Does the state of the economy worry you regarding the value of your home? If this is the case, the following information maybe quite useful for anyone about to undertake any home improvement project.
Firstly and foremost, the most logical place to begin you project is to determine a feasible price range for any potential improvement, pavers or otherwise. Once a reasonable range has been established, we must decide on the various different options that are available. Doing a little independent research can go a long way in narrowing down the vast array of hardscape options; however, visiting a local installer’s showroom is a good place to get ideas. At Milano Pavers, our friendly and knowledgeable staff would be more than happy to assist any potential clients and explaining the various different surfaces that can work for your paver project. Often, simply walking into the store and talking to someone is the best place to get an objective opinion about your options.
Once the ideal option has been established, investigating any potential companies is the next step to your Perfect Paver Paradise. There are several key items to look for in any company: A Showroom – every company should have a tangible place of business to bring any potential clients and look at different options – Milano Pavers has a showroom located on Federal Highway in Deerfield Beach just a few minutes from Boca Raton. Every company should also have a listing with an independent reporting firm such as the Better Business Bureau – We at Milano Pavers have worked hard to maintain our sterling rating with the BBB of south Florida. Finally, every potential installer must be both licensed and insured. Being a member of a continuing education institution such as the Inter-Connecting Paver Institute (ICPI) is another ideal characteristic for any business you are investigating.
One your list is narrowed down to companies that fit an honest profile, contacting each company for a free consultation of your paver project is the next move towards your new pavers. Professionalism, courtesy, and punctuality are all qualities that you should look for in any estimator that comes as he/she should be a reflection of the company itself. It is at this stage that many people rely on their intuition regarding which company to favor and often narrow their list down to 2-3 companies. It is then essential to maintain a dialogue with each company in order to extract the deal that best suits your individual needs.
With this in mind, the following insider information may be extremely useful. Travertine, a premature form of marble, is a common yet exquisite natural stone surface. The density of the travertine prevents it from conducting heat, which leads to a surface that remains fairly cool to the touch, making it ideal for resurfacing patios or pool decks. It is considered by many to add a touch of elegance and class to any surface. It is for this very reason that many people often shy away from even considering it. Often without researching the product, many people lose excellent opportunities to improve their homes. However, as the economy limps on, many products once beyond the price range of ordinary citizens have been forced to adjust pricing and have dropped to just within reach. Travertine is one such product. At the same time, many traditionally affordable products such as concrete and asphalt have risen in price due to increases in the cost of inputs and transportation. Due to the steep drop in price many importers are left with vast amounts of material that they must get rid of. This push has allowed Milano Pavers to negotiate excellent pricing with a variety of importers ensuring only best quality but at economy pricing.
Now that you have become more away of the current industry, the time to remodel is now; installers are cutting margins and many products are becoming affordable. The addition of a natural stone surface to your home will add excellent value to your home while providing a personal paradise in your home.

Bar Rosso Restaurant & Vinoteca Opens in Downtown Aventura
Trattoria Offers Sophisticated Italian-American Fare and Extensive Wine Selections in Relaxed Setting
AVENTURA, FL. May 8, 2009. After much anticipation, Bar RossoRestaurant & Vinoteca, located at 19004 NE 29th Avenue, will open its doors for business on Monday, May 11, 2009,offering South Floridians a place to experience inspired Italian cuisine and hand-selected wines in an old-meets-new-world setting.
“Bar Rosso is destined to become Aventura’s hottest destination,” says the restaurant’s general manager Ian Falconi. “This is a place where patrons can stop in for a quick glass of wine and a bite, or luxuriate over a handcrafted gourmet meal. Bar Rosso captures the true essence of hospitality; not only is the space warm and inviting, but our menu offers beautiful Italian classics infused with innovative American accents.”
Executive Chef Joshua Medina, formerly of Wish in South Beach, Miami, has created an enticing menu of decadent Italian fare with worldly overtones that perfectly complements the restaurant’s broad selection of wines by the glass.
“Chef Medina is truly a culinary genius,” says Falconi. “His flavor combinations and attention to detail set the standard quite high.”
Bar Rosso’s menu will feature piccolini, or “small plates”, such as arancini crispy risotto served with goat cheese and tomato sauce; giant ravioli stuffed with Kobe beef, homemade ricotta, tomato and basil; wood-grilled octopus served with chorizo, potatoes, roasted peppers, and parsley; and the ever-changing crostini trio, which for now will feature ricotta and saffron honey, prosciutto with fig jam and spicy cauliflower.
Pastas, which include rigatoni carbonara; whole wheat pappardelle with Porcini broth, plum tomatoes, wild mushrooms, arugula and goat cheese; and fettuccini Nero with clams, squid, spicy sausage and tomato sauce; can be ordered in full or half-portions to foster Bar Rosso’s signature tasting experience.
Main plates from the wood-burning grill range from colossal shrimp with grilled tomatoes and horseradish to a 14-oz. Sterling Silver sirloin served with Cipollini onions. Organic chicken, fish, and leg of lamb are also included on this well-balanced menu, and guests are encouraged to watch as their meals are expertly prepared in the exhibition kitchen, which is open and situated in the dining room.
Bar Rosso offers more than 65 wines by the 3-oz. “piccolo” or 9-oz. “quartino” pours. Falconi, an advanced sommelier, has personally selected each offering on the wine list.
“Bar Rosso is a Vinoteca,” Falconi states. “We will offer an amazing selection of wines at all price points, from places like Italy, France, Argentina, Chile, Napa Valley and more. There will be a continual evolution in our wine program, and we will also host wine dinners, tastings and educational seminars.”
Chic and eclectic, the 2,200-square-foot space is ideal for both post-work decompressing as well as intimate evening gatherings. The restaurant features a 21-foot-long full-service marble bar set off by scarlet wall tiling, and tufted bar stools. A large mahogany communal table can accommodate parties of up to 20 people and will also be the centerpiece for tasting events, while smaller rounds with seating for four to eight grace the dining room, surrounding the exhibition kitchen.
For a hint of nostalgia, guests can select songs from throughout the decades from a vintage Wurlitzer juke box. The wine room, lit by crimson mouth-blown glass fixtures, showcases a solid mahogany dining table for 12, and is ideal for semi-private events. Dining al fresco is also an option at The Park, Bar Rosso’s enclosed 1,500-sqaure-foot outdoor dining patio. There’s even a flat-screen TV to keep guests abreast on the progress of their meal via “exhibition kitchen cam”.

This is a great chance to get a $500.00 Walmart Gift Card, imagine how far that’ll get you. Five hundred dollars will really go a long way in a store like Walmart. Walmart has a very long family history and it’s an interesting story to read about or search online. Here’s a few lines from Wikipedia about Walmart…
Sam Walton, a businessman from Arkansas, began his retail career when he started work on June 3, 1940, at a J.C. Penney store in Des Moines, Iowa where he remained for 18 months. In 1945, he met Butler Brothers, a regional retailer that owned a chain of variety stores called Ben Franklin and that offered him one in Newport, Arkansas.[5]
Walton was extremely successful in running the store in Newport, far exceeding expectations. [6] However, when the lease came up for renewal, Walton could neither come to agreement on the existing store’s lease renewal nor find a new location in Newport. Instead, he opened a new Ben Franklin franchise in Bentonville, Arkansas, but called it “Walton’s Five and Dime.” There, he achieved higher sales volume by marking up slightly less than most competitors.[7]
Not everyone is pleased with the Walmart story, here’s a video that speaks for itself.
With a warm breeze and music in the air, Dolphin Stadium was dubbed its new name, Landshark Stadium, bringing Jimmy Buffett’s unique Floribbean flavor back to Miami. Surrounded by Parrotheads and Dolphin fans dressed up in full regalia for the occasion, Jimmy commented “We gave half of the tickets to the Parrot Head Club and half to Dol-Fans and I can’t tell the difference”.
Starting off the event with the songs “Margaritaville” and “Volcano”, Buffett then performed a brand new version of his classic song “Fins” with lyrics dedicated to the Miami Dolphins and its fans.
Look forward to Margaritaville themed areas within the stadium as well as additional projects that will hopefully appeal to the greater South Florida sports community. As Jimmy in a pre-concert interview “Let the Fin begin!”
