Bio:

Voice Media was originally The Longmont Voice. Voice Media is a new is a

new publication that was first developed by an idea that Sarah had when we were

talking one day. She said that she thought that there was too much negativity in

newspapers. I was looking into an opportunity with a publisher who was looking for

a manager. They said that they developed local publications for homeowner associa-

tion neighborhoods that were in an upper class community. I asked why they chose

select neighborhoods and was told that it would be easier to obtain advertisers be-

cause you would be marketing to well off neighborhoods.

I disagreed with this logic because I felt that it was profiling people and was

not the type of ethics I wanted to use. After thinking about what Sarah said and this

job opportunity, I decided to merge the two ideas together. What if we established a

magazine that was local and provided a positive voice for the community? The idea

sounded great.

I personally have been self-employed for some time working in computer

programming, design, online marketing as well as business branding and consulta-

tion. I have also done animation and visual effects. I had all of the programs for mak-

ing the publication digital, as well as the know-how of how to make a digital maga-

zine successful as I have consulted and worked with print magazines on how to go

digital. This was how The Longmont Voice was developed. We put ideas together and

when we were finally ready, we launched the announcement that The Longmont

Voice was going to come into existence.

I am a business owner and have been for years. Sarah and I both own business-

es together besides The Longmont Voice and we know how expensive advertising and

marketing is. This is why we have made the Longmont Voice business friendly in our

advertising within this publication. Two people run this entire operation along with

many other operations that we run.

So get involved with Voice Media. Send us your articles. Let us know

something good and we will publicize it for you for free. Whether it’s a birthday, an-

nouncement or you just had something really good that you wanted to share. This is

your magazine America.

Sincerely, Voice Media

All New Episode is a New York band that

offers more than music inspiration. The band

that was originally started in 2011 was a in-

spiration to all musicians as they were top fi-

nalists in The Break Contest as well as mak-

ing a direct connection with Voice Media

Partners, publishers of Voice Media maga-

zine. When the company first heard the

band’s sound, which is a mixture of punk, al-

ternative, and creating a unique sound.

Recently All New Episode signed a contract with Voice Media Partners

for a worldwide distribution of their new album, which titled

“Signature Edition.” This album is offered within the United States,

Canada, the UK, Ireland, Sweden, France, Belgium and several other

countries. The most exciting part of this is that Voice Media Partners is

expanding its digital publishing into the music industry.

All New Episode’s new album will be available for preorder January of

2014 with the actual release of the album in February. You can also lis-

ten to their great music on online radio stations such as Slacker and

Spotify.

Here are some ways to keep giving this holiday season:

Donate the toys that your kids received last year or have outgrown to a charitable organization.

Recycle your natural Christmas tree.

Reuse colorful papers you already have, such as old maps or Sunday comics, as gift-wrap instead of buying gift-wrap.

Collect and save ribbons, bows, and large pieces of wrapping paper for use next year.

Donate unwanted and old clothing to a charitable organization.

Give environmental gifts like reusable tote bags, lunch bags, travel mugs, houseplants, bird feeders, birdhouses, homemade foods and handmade items.

Purchase holiday cards and wrapping paper that can be recycled.

Purchase holiday and year-round cards that are remade from old cards.

Eleven Madison Park is a unique restaurant located within the bustling streets of New

York. This unique restaurant has mostly good reviews, but there were a couple of reviews

that had mixed feelings. Overall this restaurant does offer some unique aspects that will

not be found at a traditional dining venue. This is why we decided to feature this restau-

rant in the restaurant of the month. Unlike restaurants that offer a menu and you select

what you would like to eat; this restaurant caters to the unknown. Another big difference

is going to be the price tag attached to it. The menu is given to you and you give your serv-

er a list of the things you cannot eat and what you do not want to taste within the menus

limits. You then are given random dishes and unknowingly do not have any idea of what

the chef will cook for you. It is like a gourmet surprise and with anything gourmet and as a

surprise will be at a price ticket of $225 a person.

No this is not a plate or even a family of four. This

is $225 a person multiplied by how many kids

and or children that you have. So if you are up for

the pricey challenge of receiving some gourmet

today, then Eleven Madison Park is your destina-

tion.

Meet Sammie. This is a cat that was adopted by a friend of the editor. She

has already picked out a special place in her new home that she sleeps in.

She gets along with 11 year old Lucky which is a male fun loving dog. Sam-

mie loves attention when it comes to you trying to eat.

Have a pet at home??? If so, share your pet pictures and stories

with us here at voicemediapartners.info

When you are looking for an animal to make a part of your family, how do you know what type of

animal to choose? Dogs can be great for the active family who has the open space. Cats can be

great for the busy person who wants an occasional cuddle. There are also other pets that add ex-

otic touches to your home such as turtles, lizards and even snakes. Here are some tips to help you

choose a pet.

Make sure that you have adequate room for your pet. Dogs may need more room then cats or

caged animals.

Make sure to do some research on some pets. Pet stores such as PetSmart and Petco usually

offer background information on pets. You can also do research online.

Make sure that you know what a pet needs to have it live a comfortable life. We really like the

pet kits that are sold at these stores, which include tanks, lamps and pretty much everything

else you will need.

Be sure you can attend to the pet as needed whether it is giving the pet attention or maintain-

ing feeding schedules and cleaning up after your newfound family friend.

Make sure you have a budget to fulfill the pet’s needs. Some pets like turtles, snakes and even

fish can require more attention than others and require a continual investment in their habitat

as well as good.

Following these pet tips will help you find the perfect pet and make sure that you can fulfill the

pet’s needs. It also will help you be realistic about what pet you want to choose and ensures that it

will be a good fit within your household.

Sit Tight: When the turkey is done roasting, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 20 to 35 minutes, depending on the size of the turkey.

Legs First:

Now arrange the turkey, breast side up, on a cutting board. Steady the turkey with a carving fork. Using a sharp knife, slice through the meat between the breast and the leg. Next, using a large knife as an aid, press the thigh outward to find the hip joint. Slice down through the joint and remove the leg. Cut between the thighbone and drumstick bone to di-vide the leg into one thigh piece and one drumstick. To carve the drumstick, steady it with a carving fork and cut a thick slice of meat from one side, along the bone. Next, turn the drumstick over so that the cut side faces down. Cut off another thick slice of meat. Repeat, turning the drumstick onto a flat side and cutting off meat, carving a total of four thick slices. To slice the thigh, place it flat side down on a cutting board. Steady the thigh with a carving fork. With a knife, cut parallel to the bone and slice off the meat. Be sure to place all the cuts on the warmed serving platter as you work.

Wings Take Off:

Remove the wings before you carve the breast meat. Slice diagonally down through the edge of the breast toward the wing. Using a knife as an aid, press the wing out to find the shoulder joint; cut through the joint, remove the wing, and place on the serving platter.

Carve the Breast: To carve the breast meat, hold the back of the carving fork against the breastbone. Starting parallel to the breastbone, slice diagonally through the meat. Lift off each slice, holding it be-tween the knife and fork, and layer them on the warm serving platter. Continue until you have carved all the meat on one side of the breast. Carve the other side of breast in the same fash-ion. And let the feasting begin!

Tips to remember when

dealing with all the holiday

stress:

Acknowledge your feelings.

Reach out. If you feel lonely or isolated, seek out community, re-ligious or other social events. Volunteering your time to help others also is a good way to lift your spirits.

Be realistic. The holidays don't have to be perfect or just like last year.

Set aside differences. Try to accept family members and friends as they are, even if they don't live up to all of your expectations.

Stick to a budget. When food and gift shopping set a budget.

Plan ahead. Always set aside specific days for shopping, baking, visit-ing friends and other activities. Tip: plan your menus and then make your shopping list.

Learn to say no.

Don't abandon healthy habits.

Take a breather. Make some time for yourself.

Seek professional help if you need it.

Holiday home remedy solutions for those messy stains that your guess leave behind.

Beverage, fruit and grass stain 1 part White Vinegar 1 part Clear Dishwashing Liquid 1 part Water

Blood or sweat stains 4 parts (5oz.) Water

1 part (1oz.) Ammonia 1 part (1 oz.) Peroxide

1 part (1 oz.) Colorsafe Detergent

Oil (pizza, grease, gel and sauce) 1 part (2 tbsp) Clear Dishwashing Liquid

1 part (1 tbsp) White Vinegar

General Stain Removal Tips:

- The longer the stain remains on a garment, the harder it is to remove. - Always use clean white terry cloths to help you absorb the stain. The first priority is to pick up any lose debris. For example, if a cookie is dropped and the fruit filling is on the carpet, try to re-move as much of the debris as possible to avoid pushing it into the carpet more so. - Never rub a stain. Remember that if you rub a stain you're are rubbing it in, not helping it to come out. Blotting is the best method for soaking up wet types of stains. Work from the outside area of the stain towards the center so that a ring will not form around the stained area. - Place absorbent materials such as white towels or white paper towels under the stained area to absorb the stain and prevent it from spreading. Change the position of the absorbent material to provide a clean area beneath the stain as necessary.

Turkey wreath:

Frist Step: Purchase a large variety of fake flowers in colors of orange and brown, plain wreath, Styrofoam ball, brown paint, goggle eyes, red balloon, and construction paper. (Optional: an over the door wreath hook).

Second Step: Cut the pedals off the flowers to be used as the feathers of your tur-key.

Third Step: Use a glue gun or hobby glue to glue the pedals of the flower on the wreath.

Fourth Step: Paint the Styrofoam ball with brown paint; add goodly eyes, a beak made out of construction paper to make the face of the turkey.

Fifth step: Use either construction paper or a red balloon to make the turkeys wattle.

Sixth Step: Hang your wreath on your front door to welcome guests. (You can use a wreath over the door hook to do this.)

The Boston Red Sox have won the world series against the Cardinals.

Game 1 : 1-8

At Fenway Park

Manager: John Farrell

World Series Championships: 1903, 1912, 1915, 1916, 1918, 2004, 2007, 2013.

To prepare the turkey for roasting in the oven:

First remove the giblets (and save for gravy or stuffing).

Next, rinse the bird inside and out and pat dry with paper towels.

Stuffing the bird:

Stuff it loosely, allowing about ½ to ¾ cup stuffing per pound of turkey. Brush the skin with melted butter or oil. Tie drumsticks together with string (for stuffed birds only). Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh. Do not touch the bone.

Preheat Oven 350 degree F. Place the bird on a rack in the oven in a roasting pan.

How long to cook the turkey:

These times are based on placing the whole turkey on a rack in a roasting pan, and into a preheated 350 degree F oven.

Weight of Turkey Roasting Time (Unstuffed) Roasting time (Stuffed)

10 to 18 pounds 3 to 3 ½ hours 3 ¾ to 4 ½ hours

18 to 22 pounds 3 ½ to 4 hours 4 ½ to 5 hours

22 to 24 pounds 4 to 4 ½ hours 5 to 5 ½ hours

24 to 29 pounds 4 ½ to 5 hours 5 ½ to 6 ¼ hours

Note: Cook the turkey until the skin is a light golden color, and then cover loosely with a foil tent. During the last 45 minutes of bak-ing, remove the foil tent to brown the skin. Basting is not necessary, but will promote even browning. The only true test for doneness is the temperature of the meat:

The turkey is done when the thigh meat reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. To get an accurate reading, be sure that your thermometer is not touching the bone.

If your turkey has been stuffed, it is important to check the temperature of the dressing; it should be 165 degrees F. When the turkey is done, remove from the oven and allow to stand for 20-30 minutes before carving. This allows the juic-

es to redistribute throughout the meat, and makes for easier carving.

What you will need:

¾ cup sugar

1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

½ teaspoon salt

1 can (15 oz) pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)

1 ¼ cups evaporated milk or half and half

2 eggs, beaten

1 Pillsbury® Pet-Ritz® frozen deep-dish pie crust

Steps:

Heat oven to 425°F.

In large bowl, mix filling ingredients.

Pour into pie crust.

Bake 15 minutes.

Reduce oven temperature to 350°F;

Bake 40 to 50 minutes longer or until knife inserted near center comes out clean.

Cool 2 hours.

Serve or refrigerate until serving time.

Store in refrigerator.

The holidays are undoubtedly the busiest travel time of the year with notorious transpor-

tation delays, traffic and travel snags. However, a bit of foresight and some planning, you

may ease some travel headaches. Here are some travel tips to help you out in your holi-

day travel plans.

Plan Ahead:

Start planning your trip months before. This will save you money and time.

Travel Light:

Some airlines have started to charge for checked bags, so it is a good idea to pack

light and carry on your bag.

Choose the Best Days:

Avoid the days right after the holiday to fly out for those will be the busiest days.

Instead flying out on Monday or Tuesday.

Holiday Road:

Follow the same best practices for road travel, including avoiding the highways on

the days before the holiday and the days after the holiday. Plan your route ahead of time

and travel with a GPS system, smart phone or old-school maps to offer alternatives if you

need a Plan B. And to avoid unnecessary delays, bring along an E-ZPass or change for the

tolls, as well as plenty of snacks, and be sure to fill up on gas before you hit the road.
