Widely considered one of the greatest, if not the greatest, show in television history, I Love Lucy signaled the ascendance of the prime time TV era. The brainchild of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, I Love Lucy revolutionized the television industry with its extensive use of a live audience and the employment of multiple camera angles. The result of true comic genius, the show’s ability to entertain is just as relevant today as it was fifty years ago…

Real-life couple Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz play the prominent roles of Lucy and Ricky Ricardo, a married couple living in a New York apartment complex. Ricky is a Cuban-born band leader who wows night clubs with his act, while Lucy is a homemaker. Lucy and Ricky’s best friends are landlords Fred and Ethel Mertz who often become intertwined in Lucy’s get-rich-quick schemes, screwball ideas, and comic shenanigans. Former masters of the stage, the cast comes across as a likeable bunch, with Lucille Ball stealing the show with her goofy antics and brilliant facial contortions. If ever there were a television classic, then I Love Lucy is it…

The I Love Lucy (Season 2) DVD offers a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere “The Anniversary Present” in which Ricky is spending time with a beautiful neighbor who is helping him find the perfect anniversary present for Lucy. But Lucy and Ethel are convinced that Ricky is having an affair, and they set out to spy on the two “home wreckers”… Other notable episodes from Season 2 include “Redecorating” in which Lucy unwittingly sells all the furniture after Fred and Ricky conspire to tell her she’s won a home decorating contest, and “The Camping Trip” in which Ricky tries to keep Lucy (and Ethel) from horning in on his and Fred’s camping retreat by taking her on a “trial run” (which he plans to make a miserable experience). But Ricky doesn’t know that Lucy’s on to his scheme, and she’s determined to turn the tables on him…

The following event planning checklist checklist gives you an idea of the type of things that have to be considered when planning an event here in Spain:

Choose a location in Spain

Our most popular destinations are Barcelona, Madrid, Marbella, Seville, Valencia and Malaga. Location is a key factor in the success of your company or group event.

Set a realistic budget

Consider all the expenses that are likely to come up and get quotes from different suppliers, caterers, entertainers or whatever other contractors you will need. Be realistic about how much you can afford to spend and what the actual costs are likely to be and allow a little extra for those unforeseen circumstances.

Decide upon a type of team building activity?

A group event can be an effective means of team building amongst your company or organization. A presentation, gala event, corporate function or other team building exercise can bring out many members of the team to participate, ideal for companies that have a large number of regional offices.

Find a venue that is appropriate and affordable.

Do you want a quiet, exclusive venue or a busy, dynamic city centre hotel? Do you want to stay at a hotel near the beach so that water-sports can be within reach, prefer to be in the middle of the countryside pursuing outdoor activities or want the most up to date business technologies for an audio-visual feast?

Do not choose a banquet hall far away from the group event just because it is half the cost of one more centrally located. You may find that the management of your ideal location is willing to offer a lower rate than you expected. Also the costs of transportation to another location for your team building exercises, gala dinners or any activities that you might pursue may negate any savings made on the venue.

Before you begin to promote a group event in Spain, make sure that you have signed contracts from the venue management and all contractors who will be working on the event. If you make a promise that you can not keep, it may tarnish your organization’s image for years to come, even if it is not your fault, let alone the wasted costs involved.

Check Passport Information

Travelling to Spain is very easy. If you are a citizen of the European Union, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein you only need your Identification Card, or a valid passport. If you are from any of the following countries: Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Brunei, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Croatia, El Salvador, United States, Guatemala, Honduras, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Monaco, Nicaragua, New Zealand, Panama, Paraguay, Korea, Romania, San Marino, the Holy See, Singapore, Uruguay, and Venezuela you would need a valid passport to enter Spain, where you can stay for a maximum of 90 days. If you are from any other country, according to the criteria of the EU, you must request a visa at the Spanish Consulate of your country of residence. You will also need a valid passport.

The first sense of a Shih Tzu puppy is “scent.” The newborn Shih Tzu puppy will be able to smell the scent of the breeder immediately after the sac is broken. The Shih Tzu breeder is familiar with litters of Shih Tzu puppies before their eyes open. Up until the Shih Tzu puppy opens its eyes they became familiar with their breeder’s scent through their dam’s coat. Shih Tzu puppies learn where there is and is not a place of milk and nourishment on their mother through scent.

It is advisable that only the Shih Tzu breeder handle puppies during their first two weeks. This does limit the Shih Tzu puppy’s reality of the world around them; however, it is practicing sound early responsible care practices. As Shih Tzu puppies begin to open their eyes they music searches fo 2000 year aware of differences in people. Because of this awareness, a very young Shih Tzu puppy may act violently the first time handled by anyone other than their breeder. The Shih Tzu puppy may begin to struggle or scream to be free. It really is not necessary for other people besides the breeder to handle Shih Tzu puppies during this very early period of their lives. If a Shih Tzu puppy is frightening by early interactions with other people it could set the stage for later mistrust toward all humans. It is therefore extremely important that all early contacts with a Shih Tzu puppy be positive. Once a barrier of distrust is instilled in a newborn Shih Tzu puppy, the puppy can become hard to work with and sometimes even unmanageable as adults. Limiting contact with humans also aids in the spreading of germs to newborn Shih Tzu puppies.

There is a proper way to hold a very young Shih Tzu puppy. You should not “swoop” a Shih Tzu puppy quickly into your arms, or hold it at arm’s length. Do not ever pick up a Shih Tzu puppy by its legs, ears, tail or scruff. Severe and even irreparable damage can result.

Use the following steps to pick up and hold a newborn and very young Shih Tzu puppy:

1. Place your hands firmly around the Shih Tzu puppy’s body making it feel secure before it is lifted from the whelping box.

2. Immediately begin to snuggle the Shih Tzu puppy closely to your neck, chest or face area, letting the Shih Tzu puppy smell your familiar scent. Here is where the Shih Tzu puppy will feel the reassuring rhythm of your breathing and your heartbeat. The Shih Tzu puppy will remain relaxed. The Shih Tzu puppy will have less tendency to struggle against others first holding them if you will practice these steps from the beginning.

In general, you should not place very young Shih Tzu puppies in your lap, at least until after they begin to walk. They do not feel secure in a lap position at a very young age.

When handling newborn Shih Tzu puppies it is helpful to make “kissing” sounds near their ears. The sound is similar to puppies nursing. Therefore, repetitious kissing offers the same sense of security and comfort for the Shih Tzu puppy.

One of the earliest conditionings a Shih Tzu puppy encounters is being nestled in secure comfort by its dam while being fed warm milk. When you emit the same type of sounds with repetitious kissing the Shih Tzu puppy responds immediately to your stimulation and will feel secure. The Shih Tzu puppy will snuggle rather than struggle and learn to trust humans from a very early period of their lives. This type of conditioning is important for proper development as an adult Shih Tzu and instills a “trusting” of humans rather than a “fear” of humans.

Shih Tzu puppy conditioning beyond diet is a highly important part of a professional Shih Tzu breeder’s job, and will often separate the professional breeder from the “backyard” or puppy mill breeders.

Jupiter Research has done some prognosticatin‘ and come to the conclusion that digital sales are going to keep on growing. In fact, if predictions hold true, digital sales will grow at a compounded rate of 16% per year, to a total of 2.5 billion dollars, or just over 22% of total US consumer spending on music.

Glenn Coolfer astutely observes, “Before you do any math, read a blog post about the survey by Jupiter analyst David Card. He explains something the press release does not: Jupiter did not count ringtone sales as digital revenues. He wrote, “Digital music sales will total 22 percent of US consumer music spending in 2011, and ring tones another 12 percent.” Combined with download spending, the adjusted digital figure is actually 34%. That leaves the CD with about 66% of the market.”

Subscription services are forecast to keep growing as well, with a staggering 32% compounded growth rate in just that category alone. Napster must be salivating but, frankly I don’t see it. Unless some major shift comes along and changes the subscription landscape, or the Major labels relent to an eMusic style model, I just don’t see how 32% growth in subscriptions is remotely possible.
