Today’s home office is far from the lifeless cubicles and fluorescent-lit meeting rooms of corporate spaces. In fact, with more and more Americans working from home, the home office has become one of the main rooms of the modern-day abode, often replacing the more traditional and sometimes under-utilized living room. Here’s how to make your at-home workspace shine. First, consider the space you’re working with. If you’re lucky enough to have a separate room for your office, set apart from the chaos of home, you’re in luck. If not, think of taking over a guest room or an unused space in the loft. It’s especially important to create your office in a tucked-away spot if you are often on conference calls and privacy is key. After all, there’s nothing quite like a crying toddler making himself heard in the middle of a call from your boss. If you still need to be a part of the family’s daily life while you’re working (hello moms!), stake out a corner of the kitchen or family room. Just be sure to tell your little ones it’s a hands-off area… it’s your workspace. When it comes to choosing furniture for your at-home office, don’t feel obligated to shop at office furniture stores. It’s your space...and anything that works for you goes. Don’t like a traditional desk and chair? Try a wooden table with plenty of surface area and an upholstered seat for more comfort. Surround yourself in your

unique style and eye-pleasing items so you’ll enjoy being there. Just don’t make it too cozy or that plush loveseat opposite your desk may be beckoning for a snooze about 3 o’clock. A few things to consider to keep the energy going: Lighting is key to a productive work environment. You’ll need overhead and desk lighting to keep you motivated and on task. Also, color can greatly affect one’s energy levels. Consider red and yellow hues for a workspace, but steer clear of serene blues and greens, which are better suited for a bedroom. If you can’t commit to a whole room one of those stay-alert colors, look for brightly colored accessories to add a pop of color and an energetic vibe. Of course, technology rules in the at-home office, so make sure there is plenty of space for concealing computer wires and hosting printers and all that techy stuff. After all, even though it’s beautiful and comfortable in there, you’ve got to get some work done!

Brazilian Cheese Bread | Pão De Quejo Ingredients:1 1/2 c of parmesan cheese1 1/2 c of corn oil1 c whole eggs1 1/4 c of manioc (yucca) starch1 1/4 c of sour manioc (yucca) starch1 c of 2% milk

Preparation:Mix together all ingredients in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer. Spray cupcake tray with vegetable oil. Pour mix into cup tray filling each to the top. Place it in oven 350 degrees for 15min, until light brown. The bread should be baked and served immediately, so you can truly enjoy its full flavor.

Wine Pairing:To represent the flavor, keep this pairing light and refreshing with hints of lime and herbal notes. The acidic yet refreshing pairing will complement the flavors in this bread beautifully. Ideas for the perfect coupling are: Sparkling Wine, Pinot Gris, Dry Riesling or White Wine Sangria. Enjoy!

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort WyomingWith two mountains, Après Vous and Rendezvous, Jackson Hole offers 2,500 acres of in-bounds terrain and 116 mapped trails (50 percent expert, 40 percent intermediate, and 10 percent beginner, so there’s something for everyone). Bonus? An open backcountry system that gives thrill-seekers access to more than 3,000 additional acres. That’s some serious skiing. And did we mention the resort has averaged 459 inches of snow per year during the past five seasons? Snowboarding is allowed on 100 percent of the mountain. Plenty of fine dining, an increased number of direct flights to the local airport, and local spas including the Four Seasons Spa and the Teton Mountain Lodge Spa round out the mix.

Alta and Snowbird, UtahThese two awesome resorts are located just 35 minutes from Salt Lake, which means easy access. There’s no snowboarding allowed at Alta, in case you prefer to ski without snowboarders underfoot. Alta offers 35 percent advanced trails, 40 percent intermediate trails, and 25 percent beginner trails. A highlight: Snowbird offers the longest season in Utah, with 2,500 acres and 3,240 vertical feet of terrain.

Telluride, ColoradoWith 4,425 vertical feet of terrain and 60 percent beginner or intermediate terrain, this small resort offers something for skiers at all levels. It’s also a walker-friendly area, with the two towns of Telluride (think rustic charm) and Mountain Village (think European elegance) connected by a pedestrian gondola. Most visitors do not find a rental car is even necessary to get to the more than 60 restaurants, coffee shops, and bars for après ski. Non-stop flights to Telluride are now available from 10 metropolitan airports and nine major U.S. hubs.

Squaw Valley, California Located on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe, Squaw Valley offers more than 170 trails and 29 lifts that can move a mind-boggling 49,000 people per hour up the mountain. Add to that more than 300 days of sunny, cloudless days per year and no wonder this place has such a great reputation. Hard to beat those stats! Host to the 1960 Winter Olympics, Squaw Valley also boasts one of the longest ski and snowboard seasons, stretching well into the spring.

GAUGUIN TO WARHOL: 20th Century Icons from the Albright-Knox Art Gallery traces the path of modern art through a survey of iconic 20th century works from the Albright-Knox Art Gallery’s renowned collection. This exhibition presents a stunning opportunity to witness the development of the major movements that shaped the course of modern art from the late 19th century to the present.

Featuring masterpieces by more than 40 monumental artists, Gauguin to Warhol including works by Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Georgia O’Keeffe, Salvador Dalí, and Frida Kahlo, among others. The scope of the show begins in the late 1800s, featuring milestones of Post-Impressionism by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Vincent Van Gogh, and Paul Gauguin, and extends to the mid twentieth century in America with Abstract Expressionists such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Lee Krasner, Willem de Kooning, and Robert Motherwell as well as prominent Pop artists such as Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. Through an impressive and encompassing array of works, the exhibition showcases the major aesthetic

and philosophical themes of 20th century art.
