In business, advertising is everything and it always helps to have a catchy slogan or sign.

WREG reports that a couple of developers in Clarksdale, Miss., created a buzz by opening a new hotel that pays homage to a famous Delta Blues legend, in a very eye-opening way.

The sign for Hooker Hotel, on East 2nd Street in downtown Clarksdale, immediately got Pamela Vances attention.

It just amazed me. And I came back just to actually came back to see if I was reading the right thing or if something was wrong with my eyes, said Pamela Vance of Friars Point.

No, Pamela, theres nothing wrong with your vision. The sign clearly reads Hooker Hotel.

Its the newest place in Clarksdale to bed down for a night or two.

Cause the first impression I know, was in the gutter. But thats just where my mind went, said Vance.

But before you call the Vice Squad, you should know this unique hotel is named for Delta Blues legend John Lee Hooker.

Probably one of the better old-time Blues guys. Very popular in the 60s, John Magnusson, the builder and property manager for Hooker Hotel, said.

He added the name has drawn a lot of attention since it went up two weeks ago.

(FROM ANGIE'S LIST) - Gutter cleaning isn't glamorous, but it's one of the most important jobs on any fall to-do list.

Angie Hicks from Angie's List says, "Your gutters should not be ignored because leaves will gather there which will lead to mold as well as bugs, even ice damming in the winter. And if you're like some people, you might actually get a garden growing in your gutters which can be pretty embarrassing. So, taking care of them can lead to better health of your home, especially your roof."

Whether you do it yourself or hire a pro, don't neglect the downspouts when cleaning.

"You also want to make sure that all of your gutters are actually nailed in properly and look at your gutter boards and make sure that they are sealed," says Handyman Elden Foltz.

Once your gutters are clear, turn your attention to sealing drafts around windows and doors. Walk through your home with a lit candle or stick of incense to see where cold air is seeping in.

"If you don't seal the windows what's going to happen is a lot of energy is going to be dispensed out and you're going to lose money."

When sealing a window, make sure the area is free from dust and old paint or caulk.

"You can't take caulking and put caulking over top of it because all it's going to do is peel and break off. And it's not going to provide a good seal for that house," says Foltz.

Finally, Angie's List says you should focus on your lawn.

Hicks says, "Many people think this time of the year, 'Oh, I'm done with the lawn. I don't even want to mow anymore.' But the treatments you give your lawn, the fertilizing, this time of the year is the most important fertilizing you'll have. So, you if you're looking to have a great lawn next spring, don't skip out on the fall lawn care."

The gazebo has traditionally been an architectural focal point to enhance and enliven spectacular garden settings of grand estates. Today the gazebo is embracing a more wide spread use by property owners of all sizes as well as serving as a wedding pavilion for many hotels and resorts.

A&M Victorian's cast stone gazebos feature a cast stone dome that is manufactured in six sections for ease of installation. This eliminates the need for a crane on site thus avoiding possible damage to existing grounds. A concrete foundation is required at the site per local building codes and is not included in the price of the gazebo.

A&M Victorian's cast stone gazebos are available in a variety of styles, sizes and colors. The inside diameter of our gazebos is between 10 to 12 feet and the average height is 13 feet including the dome and dome band which are 25" and 12" respectively. All gazebos come with six columns which are approximately 11" in diameter. Plain or fluted columns may be used either set directly on the concrete foundation or set up on plinths. The space between the columns may be filled with a cast stone seating area or cast stone balustrades per individual preference.

In addition to their cast stone gazebos, A&M Victorian Decorations also carries an impressive hand carved marble gazebo as shown below. This beautiful gazebo comes with a wrought iron dome and features six spiral columns which sit on pedestals with a seating area between five of the columns. This gazebo is 15 feet in height and 12 feet in diameter and also requires a concrete foundation at the site per local building codes.

A&M Victorian's gazebos have a way of turning the most average yard into a tranquil, charming and graceful sanctuary, while the low maintenance of our cast stone or marble will provide many years of care free enjoyment of these magnificent garden structures.

Feng Shui: Creating Environments for Success and Well-Being

This month we chat about a DVD that will certainly be of interest to anyone thinking about Feng Shui and its implications. Called Feng Shui: Creating Environments for Success and Well-Being, this documentary style video Deborah Gee runs almost an hour and has plenty of useful information in it.

The description is: Learn the ancient Chinese art of channeling chi for a harmonious life with Feng Shui: Creating Environments for Success and Well-Being. Chi is the life force that runs through everything, and feng shui is the art of placing things in harmony with the environment, so that chi can flow freely. This introduction to the art of feng shui seeks to bring peace and happiness to your life and home.

Feng Shui: Creating Environments for Success and Well-Being

Posted in feng shui dvd | on July 10th, 2014 Comments Off

This fully illustrated, comprehensive workbook is designed primarily for homeowners, renters, architects, and business owners who want to put feng-shui to practical personal useto choose a home, build a house, select an office, or find a retail space. Real estate agents, interior designers, and architects will also find it useful as a reference manual. The text and exercises proceed in systematic fashion from basic principles to specific projects, covering the following lessons:

Evaluating the landscape and external environment by using the techniques of the Landform School Using the geomantic compass to chart patterns of energy within a building Planning the usage of space Matching occupants to a house Deciding on the placement of furniture Improving the feng-shui of a building with countermeasures, enhancers, and renovations Building a new house Choosing or designing an apartment, business suite, or retail space

This book has a very high rating overall, and most of the reviews are like this one:

This book is the answer when youre looking for a genuine way to improve your life with feng shui. If youre looking for a book that provide quick fix solutions simply by moving your furnitures, clearing your clutters and placing symbols, this book is not for you. Feng shui is much more deep than just an art of placement (which is normally last on the list). You will have to read this book from chapter one and do the excercises to fully understand the whole concept. Its time consumming but its well worth the time. Have you seen a lot of Feng Shui books that the author has spent the time to set up exercises so that the readers can have a solid understanding of whats being said? Theres no second book on the market that shares with you so much knowledge (including enhancements and countermeasures) for such little price. Of course this is not a book for a lazy person. There is a lot of information (no fancy colored photos nor fancy printing paper) and you will find yourself reading the book over and over again and still find new information each time. I have read so many books on Feng Shui that are in English and this book by far is only one that I recommend. The method of working the flying stars that Eva shows in the book is the most widely used by practioners in Asia and is the most sophisticated tool of Feng shui. Buy this book if youre serious about Feng shui. The title A Master Course in Feng Shui really gives this book justice. The book is not just for entertainment, it really is a home-study course that will give you enough confidence to work on your own Feng shui. I am ever grateful to Dr. Eva Wong for her graciousness for sharing her invaluable knowledge on Feng Shui. Thank you so much and hopefully you will consider publishing another feng shui book in a near future.
