World-renowned and groundbreaking concert pianist/composer Carter Larsen is selling his piano collection of twenty-five years to benefit the arts and humanities. Inaugurating the sale is his 1876 Steinway, representing the flagship to an unparalleled collection of the world's finest pianos. The 0,000 Steinway will be on display in the Burgundy Room at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel June 23, 2008 and auctioned through eBay, CraigsList, and OperationofHope.org starting tomorrow. The composer will perform pieces created on this piano from his revolutionary Fantasia Suite at 2:00pm.
Fifteen percent of the proceeds go to Operation of Hope after a birthday wish to change his life, Larsen explains, "I wish to spread the fortune I have received. This is a spiritual decision and my responsibility to humanity." Operation of Hope is an international organization that provides free reconstructive surgeries to individuals in Zimbabwe and Ecuador for the past twenty years. PEOPLE will run an eight-page article on this amazing organization in coming weeks. http://www.operationofhope.org/.
Larsen's one of a kind, customized, 1876 Victorian Steinway commemorates the centennial of America with a stunning New York Vintage Brazilian Rosewood case in high-gloss, representing the quintessential instrument-a hybrid of romance, fantasy and high-tech German Steinway's Renner-action sound board and strings. The piano was exhibited in the 2003 Namm Show, displayed by Chateau at the Pacific Design Center during 2004 in Los Angeles, and played on by Pierce Brosnan and Sir Anthony Hopkins who came to the composer seeking musical advice. Larsen's Steinway celebrates the 300th anniversary of the piano and the 150th anniversary of Steinway.
Steinway's artist Carter Larsen says, "This piano goes beyond its credentials. It has been a magical piano inspiring a continuous flow of creativity." Larsen is renowned as a concert pianist in Europe with over four-hundred concerts to his credit; performances include the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and London Symphony Orchestra as soloist with television appearances on BBC and PBS.
Larsen's pianos also have a legacy of twenty years of composition, writing for the major studios such as Fox, Paramount, PBS, BBC, and Discovery. He has composed music for over thirty prestigious films including Paramount's Star Trek, Nosferatu, Masterpiece Theatre, and the Mark of Zorro. The composer is currently scoring Martin Scorcese's new film, Something to Believe In, directed by Bonnie Palif.
Larsen is also offering a bonus to the buyer-a private performance of his magnum opus Fantasia Suite, created on his Steinway piano. "Carter Larsen's innovative artistry has universal appeal and promises to set the course for the next wave in contemporary music" says Omega Medina, ten year head of the classical Grammies, who will be present on the 23rd.
The composer just returned from a sensational tour introducing his music to China's thirty million pianists. "Fantasia Suite is about projecting and reflecting a brighter world," says Larsen whose sale will benefit nonprofits, organizations both nationally and internationally, as well as the arts and humanities.

If you think being a male supermodel is all parties, exotic locations and flings with the female of his species, you're right. At least it was for Bruce Hulse.
The face of Calvin Klein and Gillette during the '80s and '90s dishes on his sexcapades with Elle Macpherson, Andie MacDowell and Paulina Porizkova, among others, in his book “Sex, Love and Fashion: A Memoir of a Male Model.”
The sensitive, spiritual, six-pack-sporting hunk admits he was “smitten” with the “self-effacing and genuine” MacDowell while on a shoot in Greece. Putting the moves on the “Four Weddings and a Funeral” actress in his sparse hotel room, he gallantly tossed his T-shirt over a lamp to “create ambience.” The mood was ruined when the place nearly caught fire.
And how many men have shot down Elle, “The Bod”? Hulse found Macpherson “rather boyish in her manner and extremely open, with an incredible sense of humor – a real guy's girl.” Alas, Hulse was getting over a breakup with another model. He gave the Aussie glamazon the vintage “It's not you, it's me” line.
“No worries Brucie, let's just be friends then,” she said.
Porizkova wasn't so instantly warm and fuzzy, requiring a candlelight dinner in Paris before giving what Hulse claims was the ride of his life.
“It was like a professional wrestling match,” he tattles. “I'd never had such energetic, wild sex with anyone before.”
But one woman Hulse swears he never bedded was Janice Dickinson. “She had a negative aura,” he says of the loudmouthed model. “It was unsettling.” Maybe for you, but she makes a great reality show.
And Hulse may be one of the few fans Naomi Campbell has left. He describes her as a “young, sweet, lovely English girl,” insisting that her diva attitude is just an act to help her get through modeling with her sanity intact.
Hey Bruce, if mugging for the camera doesn't pay the bills, you could always be a publicist!
With summer in full swing, more workers may be heading to happy hours. According to the new CareerBuilder.com survey, one-in-five workers (21 percent) say they attend happy hours with their co-workers. Among those who attend, nearly a quarter report they go to happy hour at least once a month. And while 21 percent of those who attend say happy hours are good for networking, 85 percent reported that attending a happy hour did not help them get closer to someone higher up or land a better position in the company.
Why do workers go to happy hour? The majority (82 percent) of workers report that they attend happy hour to bond with their co-workers, while another 20 percent find it to be a great way to network. Fifteen percent of workers said they attend to hear the latest office gossip, while 13 percent only go because they feel obligated to be there. One-in-ten workers (11 percent) use happy hour as a way to bond with their boss.
Who is going to happy hour? An equal number of male and female workers say they attend happy hours with co-workers. Workers aged 25-34 were the most likely to attend (29 percent), while workers aged 55+ were the least likely at 15 percent. The Midwest leads with the most workers (23 percent) saying they go to happy hour with their co-workers, compared to 21 percent in the West and the South. Those least likely to attend were in the Northeast at 20 percent.
The industries who ranked highest for happy hours were:
— Professional and business services (35 percent)
— Financial services (34 percent)
— IT (29 percent)
— Sales (28 percent)
— Healthcare (24 percent)
Among those who attend happy hour, more than one-third of workers in retail sales said going to happy hour helped them to get close to someone higher up in the company and/or a better position, along with 21 percent of financial workers and 20 percent of those in sales.
When asked, workers reported the following incidents happened during a work happy hour:
— Bad-mouthed a co-worker or member of management (16 percent)
— Shared a secret about a co-worker (10 percent)
— Kissed a co-worker (8 percent)
— Drank too much and acted unprofessionally (8 percent)
— Shared a secret about the company (5 percent)
— Sang karaoke (4 percent)
On the other hand, close to four-in-ten workers (39 percent) who do not attend happy hours do so because they like to keep their work and professional lives separate.
White Rocket Wine Company is re-launching its Dog House line of California super-premium wines with a friendly new label and dogged support for Guide Dogs for the Blind, a charitable organization that provides free guide dogs and training to the blind and visually impaired. Since pledging support for Guide Dogs for the Blind in 2005, Dog House has donated a total of over $214,000 to directly fund their efforts.
“Our pet cause at Dog House is raising money for Guide Dogs for the Blind, whose programs greatly enhance the mobility and quality of life of the blind and visually impaired,” says Ryan Kukol, Associate Brand Manager. “Because Guide Dogs for the Blind receives no government funding, it depends entirely upon private donations. Through sales of Dog House wines, we directly aid this worthy group’s efforts to improve the lives of thousands of people afflicted by blindness.”
Bred from pedigreed vineyards in California’s acclaimed North Coast and Central Coast wine-growing regions, Dog House Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Zinfandel are crafted with a combination of traditional artisan winemaking techniques and state-of-the-art technology. Softly textured and easy-drinking, they’re delicious on their own and wonderful companions to food. Since 2005, Dog House wines have won over 65 medals for quality – certainly a record to woof about.
With its new, playful label illustration of a dog with a dog shock collar sitting outside a doghouse, and a suggested retail price of $9.99, Dog House rests squarely within the Adventure Brand category, which continues to wag the tail of the premium wine market, soaring from 661,000 cases and $68 million in sales in 2002 to nearly 6.8 million cases and $568 million in 2007. Delivering higher profit margins than traditional premium table wines, adventure brands like Dog House appeal especially to Millennial Generation consumers, who are lapping up whimsically themed brands that reflect and reinforce their values.
“The quality and affordability of our wines, coupled with our support of Guide Dogs for the Blind, esa letter gives Millennial consumers three doggone good reasons to make Dog House their pet brand,” says Mark Feinberg, Vice President of Marketing for miami murals.
White Rocket is supporting the new-package launch of Dog House with any array of point-of-sale materials, including a display rack, case card, bottle neckers and shelf talkers for stores, and waitstaff education and feature cards, logoed corkscrews and 3-liter Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon bottles for restaurants. The new Dog House package begins shipping in June, 2008.
