Extraordinary - Chapter SixIt was snowing when the Doctor left the TARDIS. Big, soft flakes that drifted lazily down from the leaden skies and settled on his hair and eyelashes and shushed gently over the shoulders of his long, brown coat.For a moment, he hesitated in the doorway of the time machine. Usually, he loved snow. But now, when he saw it, all he could think about were the icy white drifts that had been banked up against Captain Adelaide Brooke's house the night she took her own life.Ironic, that falling snow would now always make him remember the dry, shifting red dust of the planet Mars and the people who had died there.Staring across the street at the little antique shop, he forced the memory to the back of his mind, locking it away with all the other things in his past that he couldn't bear to examine too closely. Instead, he tried to imagine what Allie would say when he showed her her first supernova. Despite his previous misgivings, a warm feeling of anticipation rose up inside him at the thoug
Extraordinary - Chapter TwoAllie was incredibly restless for the rest of the day, fidgeting about and unable to keep still.How exactly are you meant to go back to the way things were before, when some strange alien-hunter breezes in and disintegrates a giant blowfly in your back room, before just cheerfully disappearing out of your life? she wondered crossly.The simple answer to that was that she couldn't. The thought was very depressing. It didn't help that she only had three other customers during the day and none of them bought anything. Apparently her finances would soon be sinking along with everything else.At last, in desperation, she went into the back room and stared at the boxes on the table. The items that the Doctor had already unpacked were still sitting there in a higgledy-piggledy line. With a sigh, she supposed she had better finish the job and get the new stock out on the shelves where customers could see them. Maybe someone with a passion for African artefacts would come along and buy
Extraordinary - Chapter SevenLarry followed the Doctor into the TARDIS a little bit hesitantly. He wasn't surprised by the vast console room he saw when he entered, since he had been inside the Doctor's ship before. But the last time he had been here, he and Sally had been running from four Weeping Angels, desperate to escape their lethal touch. Sweat broke out on his skin. Just seeing the blue police box brought all the terror flooding back again. He still had regular nightmares about it, waking up screaming as those cold stone hands reached for him through the darkness. Sally never needed to ask what he had been dreaming about - she had enough night terrors of her own. Instead, she just cuddled him close until his heart rate settled back down again and his tortured breathing eased. Like a couple of frightened children, they always slept with a light on. They never discussed it, but both of them knew why... because sometimes the monsters are real."Larry? Are you all right?"Distantly, he realised the Doctor had
Extraordinary - Chapter Ten"Oh my God!" Allie gave a little gasp of fear that was almost a moan. "It's not just Charlie, it's his whole golem army. They've all come for me.""He's decided Larry and I are a maximum threat," the Doctor muttered. "We took you away from him and that was unacceptable. Now we have to be terminated, with extreme prejudice!""Oh, that doesn't sound good," Larry gulped. "Nope, not good. Not good at all."Even as he spoke, a towering shadow detached itself from the gloom and moved to stand on the other side of the glass door, a pair of burning red eyes glaring in at them. They all took an involuntary step backwards and Doctor suddenly found a cold chill trickling down his spine as he realised what had happened. The situation was even worse than he had thought. Charlie had grown again. When the Doctor had first seen him in Allie's shop, the statue had been around five feet tall. Back at Mrs Neeson's house, during their initial confrontation, the Time Lord remembered facing him eye to eye,
Extraordinary - Chapter TwelveConsciousness slowly seeped back into Larry's brain like water trickling through rocks. Dimly, he realised that his head hurt and that he felt sick. For a few moments, he had no idea where he was or what had happened. A faint sense of panic kicked in. Maybe he'd been in an accident on his bike. Or maybe he'd been hit over the head and mugged – you could never be too careful these days. Or maybe he just had a really, really bad hangover, in which case Sally was probably going to kill him anyway.He cautiously cracked open one eye, squinting against the light."I think he's coming round!" a female voice said nearby. "Larry! Larry, can you hear me?"He had the blurred impression of someone with blonde hair leaning over him."Sally?" he croaked, assuming it was his girlfriend. "What happened?""No, it's not Sally. It's Allison Castiel," the voice told him. "You're on board the Doctor's TARDIS. We had a bit of a rough landing and you hit your head."Doctor? TARDIS? Larry's hand
One Moment in Time: Chapter 1ONE MOMENT IN TIMEChapter OneThe Doctor staggered on grimly through the snow, the haunting funeral song of the Ood echoing in his head. The pain was intense now, coming in debilitating waves as every cell in his body began to change. He could see the TARDIS up ahead, but in his wavering vision it seemed to be getting further and further away. He wasn't sure he could make it.Suddenly he stumbled and almost fell, only to feel strong hands catch him and hold him. He didn't even have to look up to know who it was."I knew you'd come," he whispered painfully."Don't I always?" Tejana responded wryly, curling his arm around her neck and taking his weight. "I could feel your pain halfway across the solar system. What have you done this time?"The Doctor tried to laugh, but the sound came out as a wheezing cough instead. "Oh, you know, the usual, saving the Universe."Grasping her hand, he opened the psychic gate they shared and let her see in one blasting flash all that the Master had done
One Moment in Time: Chapter 2ONE MOMENT IN TIMEChapter TwoShe rematerialised by smashing headlong into a concrete floor. With a groan, she just lay there, trying to remember how to breathe, grateful to be alive. Bloody vortex manipulator, it was like travelling in a blender! At least with her old Time Ring, she had managed to get around without having her bones rearranged.And where in the Universe was she? Somehow, even with her eyes closed, the place felt familiar. Warily, she took a peek, flinching with the effort. Every little bit of her hurt, every nerve and every muscle aching. She didn't recognise the place she had landed. From her prone position on the ground, it appeared to be a particularly featureless, grey-walled room with a very hard floor. Yet the odd sense of de ja vu persisted.Then, from behind her, a very familiar voice spoke. "Tejana? What the hell are you doing here?"Energised by shock, she whirled around in disbelief. "The Master!"He was confined to the far wall in a force field web, sprea
Extraordinary - Chapter Five"He was murdered?" Allie gasped, all the colour draining from her face in shock. "But...that doesn't make sense. Who would want to murder Terry?""That's what we're trying to find out," DCI Bell said. "An ex-girlfriend with a grudge, perhaps?"His keen eyes never left her face, studying her acutely, like a bug in a specimen jar. Allie felt sickness rising in her stomach as it suddenly dawned on her what he was here for."Oh my God, you're talking about me," she whispered. "You can't seriously think I did it?"Bell shrugged his shoulders, his expression impassive, giving nothing away. "You know the drill, Miss Castiel. We're investigating everyone with a motive. And, from what I've heard, you definitely have one of those. Where were you last night?""A motive? I broke up with Terry nearly a year ago. I hadn't even seen him in all of that time until yesterday. Why would I suddenly kill him?""I don't know – jealousy, spite, revenge...take your pick!" Bell suggested gr
One Moment in Time: Chapter 3ONE MOMENT IN TIMEChapter ThreeThe Master and Tejana slipped stealthily out of the door and found themselves faced with a featureless grey corridor."We're in the holding cell complex beneath the Citadel," the Master said in a low voice. "Come on, this way."With that, he began to weave a path unobtrusively through the seemingly endless passageways without hesitation. Tejana shadowed him closely, wondering how he knew so unerringly which direction to turn. Either he was extremely familiar with the complex or he had memorised the progression when they had brought him down here, despite the beating they had given him. Knowing the Master, either theory was possible.They were very fortunate that the corridors seemed to be deserted. Every now and then, another huge explosion could be heard, far above them on the surface of Gallifrey, as the Daleks scored another direct hit on the Citadel Dome. The walls shuddered as though in pain, bleeding showers of dust and chunks of stone to litter t
StargazingThe evening is perfect. There isn't a cloud in the sky, and every star is visible, glowing brightly against their dark background. A gentle breeze rustles the leaves in the trees gently and every now and then a cricket sings out, but otherwise there is silence. It's the perfect night for stargazing, and I intend to take full advantage of it.Not long ago, I found a small clearing nestled inside the patch of trees that my backyard merges into. The grass makes up a lovely bed, and wild daisies grow there in the spring, giving the space a safe feeling. I set up my telescope in the center of the meadow, and I come here whenever the weather permits to find my favorite constellations. But tonight there's no need for a telescope, so I've brought an old blanket and stretched myself out on my back, prepared to watch the moon cross the sky.I'm having trouble finding Aries tonight, despite the fact that I once knew the sky like the back of my hand. If he were here, he would-Well, it certainly d
On My OwnIt was raining, the kind of rain that keeps people indoors. It was raining, the sort of rain that drums a rhythm on a rooftop and lulls you to sleep at night.It was raining, but Rose didn't care.There was yet another party being hosted at the Tyler residence, and she was in no mood to socialize. Sometimes it was too much, this new life. Sure, she was with her 'dad', and her mum seemed happy here, but she sometimes got fed up with pretending to be happy, and pretending that there wasn't something missing. So she slipped away every once and a while and took a walk through the familiar-but-not-quite-the-same streets of London. No one questioned her, and no one followed. They seemed to understand that she needed to be alone sometimes. On my own. Pretending he's beside me. The streets were empty tonight; anyone with half a brain knew to stay inside when it poured like that. Rose didn't mind, though. She enjoyed the solitude. It made it easier to pretend that he was there. All
Words of AdviceHello there. You don't know me, but I bet I can guess who you are. You're a brilliant, unique girl who intrigued the Doctor in some way, and after some wild adventure that involved a lot of running, he asked you to come with him in his magic blue box that's bigger on the inside. You didn't believe much that he told you at first, but you eventually gave in and opened your eyes to his wonderful world. And I can guarantee that you trusted him almost immediately after he grabbed your hand or gave you a cheeky smile.Don't worry, love. You aren't the first to go down that road.But I also know that you're still new to this life, and while you're fascinated by it, it also scares you. I know this because when I hid this letter, I asked the TARDIS to reveal it to the next person that needed it.Yes, the TARDIS is alive. She can also translate languages for you. You'll get used to it.The Doctor has his own set of rules, some that you may know by now and have probably broken (again, you aren't
Doctor Who: Always Here For You - Chapter 1Donna Noble was sleepily wandering through the long TARDIS corridors, dressed in her deep purple PJs. She had no idea what time it was. When you've been on the TARDIS for as long as she had, you just relied on your body to tell you when you were tired instead of relying on time.On this particular night, Donna had been really tired after a full days running through time and space and had retreated to bed as soon her and the Doctor had finished their walk on the Planet of Rutca. She had to admit, the Doctor hadn't lied when he had said that it was a beautiful planet. It had been covered in a range of different plants that seemed to shine in every colour that existed. The walk they had been on really impressed Donna, especially since they hadn't been attacked by giant monkeys or shot at by the natives.When she had fallen into a deep sleep after getting back to the TARDIS, and after a good few hours, had awoken again. Deciding that it was useless trying to sleep, she de
Clara Theory Part I - Doctor Who"So what should we see next?" The Doctor slides to the other side of the TARDIS, flipping nodules and pressing buttons excitedly, tail coat following swiftly behind him.Clara looks to him hopefully, twisting the words across her tongue carefully, "C- can we maybe. . . just maybe, go visit my mother."The Doctor looks up to her questioningly, "Of course we can. Where does she live?"She blinks a couple of times, and begins to fiddle with her fingers "No- I mean, not like that. . . exactly. She's. . . she kind of-" she swallows hard, "She's dead."The Doctor looks up from his button pressing, with a glimmer of sentiment, leaving the TARDIS quiet for a short period of time. He then looks down and quickly crushes her high intentions, "No. No. Absolutely not. I've done the deceased parent thing once and it lead to a paradox and big, bad, evil things attacking a cathedra-""Please," she interrupts. He instantly looks up, long enough to see her saddened, but hope-filled eyes, shining back at
Never Forget"Rose! Rose, please wake up!"The voice sounds scared, desperate, and so far away everything feels like a thick fog and his voice echoes through my mind. Maybe I'm dreaming? Something is telling me to hang on to that voice, to follow it."Come on Rose, you're safe now." The voice said closer now, but still just a whisper against my ear. I can feel his warm breath on my face as I try hard to focus my attention. My head is throbbing, but it feels, so muddled everything is confusing. That voice, it grounds me. If I can just reach it. Something as simple as thinking is much harder than it should be, I try and talk but can't, and the only thing I can muster is a garbled moan. The pain is so intense, it hurts to think.The stranger's voice is back now, louder this time. His voice is excited, frantic. "Hey, there you are, come on now Rose. Open your eyes for me. Cool fingers caress my forehead, then slide along my cheek. It feels so right, even if it doesn't relieve the pain. And I try a
Extraordinary - Chapter OneTick. Tock. Tick. Tock.The old grandfather clock had stood in the corner of her aunt's antique shop for as long as Allie Castiel could remember, methodically counting off the seconds, never too fast or too slow. Time was funny like that, she thought. It still kept on counting, whether you were aware of it or not. It didn't matter whether she was in the room to listen to the clock, or if she was anywhere else in the world, time would still keep on ticking and no amount of railing against it could stop it happening.Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.The sound of the clock was almost comforting, almost lulling. She was sitting in her usual place, behind the high sales counter on a stool, her legs dangling like a child. Listening to the steady ticking, she laid her head down beside the old-fashioned cash register, feeling the granite counter-top cooling her heated cheek. Tears ran silently from her eyes and pooled unheeded on the smooth stone surface.All at once, the bells over the d

Best Global Green Brands is, as its name suggests, a truly global study. The perception survey covers the ten largest economies based on GDP, asking the opinions of more than 10,000 people. This means we cover a wide range of developed and developing economies across the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
In the same way that people refer to the big topic of "global warming," but what we actually experience is its impact in localized weather changes, after three years of our study we can begin to see the nuances behind global perceptions. Moreover, we can understand the relationship between people, their environment, and brands in different areas of the world.
First, the global view: In all the countries surveyed, more than half of the people questioned say they are concerned about environmental issues. Most of the remainder say they are undecided, and on average less than 1 in 10 say they have no concerns about the environment. It is not just concern that many claim; more than a third of people in most countries claim to be prepared to pay a little extra for environmentally responsible products or services. In some countries this figure reaches well over half of the people asked. Furthermore, around half claim they will not purchase products from companies that have a negative reputation regarding the environment. However, when asked if they always consider the environmental impact of their purchase and lifestyle, those numbers drop significantly.
As we know from other research and our own experience, there is often a significant disconnect between what people say based on their best intentions and what they do when faced with the pressures of daily life.
This is most readily demonstrated when we ask about the importance of a wide range of corporate citizenship activities, from treating stakeholders fairly to addressing environmental issues. In the abstract, respondents generally disagree with the idea that companies should act with only their own interests in mind. However, when we ask the same question to those currently working, or those actively looking for work, priorities subtly shift. We see increased importance placed on a company acting with its own interests in mind. This is something that holds true across all markets, both developed and developing.
Such findings do not mean people are negating the idea of corporate citizenship; merely that corporate citizenship needs to be framed in the context of enlightened self-interest. A corporation or brand does not exist in the abstract. It lives in communities, in relationships, and in the environment. Without meaningful links to these, a brand will ultimately fail. Our definition of brand is careful to capture this sentiment—we talk of a brand as being "a living business asset"—with its implication that what is living now may also die.
This understanding of a brand as existing within a network of relationships is the key to unlocking the value in our perception data. The global scores and averages only tell us so much. It is the ability to drill down and see what activities people expect in different regions and for different categories that sets this study apart. It enables us to consider what messages are potentially important in each region. Combined with the performance analysis that can highlight actual strengths, we have the beginnings of a platform for developing actionable proof-points that are locally relevant but managed within a global frame.
For example: In the drinks category, recycling activities (rather than products) carry more weight in many markets. If a beverage maker is interested in improving green perceptions, it might be wiser to focus on adapting their existing distribution system to create differentiated recycling points rather than trying to replicate the success of a flagship green product from another category.
To add a further level of complexity, brand owners need to understand that expectations vary by category and also by country. In Brazil, for example, recycling is a more relevant activity in many categories than launching flagship green products. On the other side of the world in China, the opposite tends to be true, with green products more highly evaluated than recycling activities.
This takes us back to our notion that this is a truly global study, aiming to understand the complexity inherent in the real world. When we look at a high-profile category like automotive, the headline global view is that many brands on our list see strong perceptions. This makes sense given the presence of powerful flagship green product or technology brands and their intersection with customer concerns over fuel efficiency. However, it masks a major sub-story, the weakness of the category as a whole in China. Despite strong global perceptions, automotive companies have some of the weakest perceptions of any of the brands tested in China. While this stands to reason given the country's current concerns with air quality, it is a potential cause for concern as most automakers look to China to drive growth.
With a methodology that harnesses our expertise creating and managing brand value across the globe, this study offers a great opportunity to unlock actionable insight into brands and their relationship with the planet we live on.

Canucks Embarrass the Predators 5-1
theviewfrom111 | Oct 21, 2011 | Comments 0
The Nashville Predators took on the Vancouver Canucks in Rogers Arena looking to correct the mistakes that had plagued them in three straight losses.
School is going to continue to be in session for the Predators.
They were just embarrassed in 5-1 loss to the Canucks.
There were a few bad breaks for the Predators, but they were out played from end to end in this contest.
It is always a bad sign when you have more than double the number of penalty minutes than shots on goal. Yes, that is what the Predators managed to do.
Daniel Sedin opened the scoring, as he banked a shot off the back of Pekka Rinne from behind the goal line at 2:11 of the first.
Matt Halishcuk answered for the Predators at 4:01 of the first period as he took a Colin Wilson shot off the end boards and slammed the rebound past a an out of position Roberto Luongo to tie the game.
From that point on, it was all downhill for the Predators.
Henrik Sedin scored on a power play with Colin Wilson in the box for a double minor for high sticking at 5:56 of the first.
Rinne attempted to clear a puck around the boards, but it was held in at the point by Alex Edler. Edler shot the puck toward the net and it was tipped by Dale Weise past Rinne at 12:02 to make it 3-1 Canucks.
Chris Higgins broke in 2 on 1 against Jonathan Blum, and attempted to pass the puck. Blum blocked the pass right back to Higgins, who had an open net in which to shoot the puck as Rinne was out of position to play the pass.
Not only did the wheels come off for the Predators in the first period, the car ran into to the ditch and caught fire.
Fortunately for the Predators, the Canucks did not score in the second period. Unfortunately, the Predators did not either. In fact, they failed to generate many quality scoring chances.
Anders Lindback came on in relief for Rinne to start the second period, and he was a busy goaltender. Although the Canucks did not score, it was not for lack of effort and help from the Predators. The Predators took three straight penalties, including a span of 90 seconds where they were down two men.Kudos to Lindback and the Predators PK unit for a solid effort.
The penalties and the lack of offensive punch contributed to a 31-19 shot advantage for the Canucks through two periods, continuing the troubling trend of the Predators being outshot by a wide margin.
This is a team that is not built to score a lot of goals, and they have to play disciplined, fundamentally sound hockey. Right now, this team is doing neither.
The third period saw the Canucks add another tally to make it 5-1 as Ryan Suter was called for Shea Weber took a selfish and undisciplined double minor unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Ryan Kesler made them pay with a one timer at 6:06 of the third for the final margin.
If you think my statement about the Predators not being built to score goals, consider these two facts: the Predators did not record a shot on goal in the third period until there was 7:47 remaining; and for the game, the Predators were once again outshot by a wide margin, 40-26
That is pathetic.
The level of play of this team is not remotely where it needs to be to be competitive. They are undisciplined and error prone and lack the intensity necessary to compete.
I know this team is young, but the core of veterans remains, and there is a break down between the coaching and the play on the ice. Veteran leadership, save for the fiery Jerred Smithson, is absent.
This is a formula for a disastrous season.
Bad habits developed early in a season can carry over throughout the season. It is time for those mental breakdowns and lack of intensity to be addressed and corrected.
Otherwise, it is going to be a long and embarrassing season for the Predators.
My three stars:
1. Daniel Sedin
Ryan Kesler
3. Roberto Luongo

Next hero class should be a Goblin Vender. You would need to have a lvl 80 toon to have access to the class. They could be faction nutral and start at lvl 70. They would have no real combat abilitys but could perhaps have a oger bodyguard like a hunter/warlock pet. Fairly useless in a fight but they can repair gear and sell regular vender food and water. Also they can train in 4 professions to further their usefullness.

Warming to the subject
As much as this week's bone-chilling temperatures might offer "cold" comfort to those who deny its existence, the threat of climate change earned a prominent spot in President Barack Obama's inaugural address on Monday. That was welcome, if overdue, given how little discussion this enormous challenge to the nation's well-being received during last year's campaign.

Research Papers On Key Ethical Issues in Marital and Family Therapy
Key Ethical Issues in Marital and Family Therapy
8 pages in length. In defining the role that ethics plays in family and marital psychotherapy, one must view the psychoanalysis program as a whole in order to determine what should and should not be expected of a counselor. Maintaining an impeccable ethical standard is of the utmost importance in the family and marital counselor's role. The problem in not maintaining a high standard of ethics lies not only in the fact a counselor might lose one's license, but the fact that unethical treatment could do irreparable damage to the client as well. For this reason this paper will consider what the three key ethical problems might be that are specific to the practice of marital and family therapy. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
A 12 page examination of the history and central features of Marital and Family Therapy as a social movement and an institution. Significant trends and contributions are highlighted including : Structural Family Therapy, Strategic Family Therapy, Transgenerational Family Therapy, and Behavioral Family Therapy. The writer also provides a brief overview of treatment modalities that have developed under the umbrella of marriage and family therapy and formulates a theory of marital and family therapy based upon the "better parts" of that which already exists. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
This is a 7 page tutorial language paper on the moral, legal and ethical issues involved in pre-marital sex. Original church rules regarding pre-marital sex were made in the first century when societies were vastly different. In today's society people are choosing to have pre-marital sex but still feel that couples should be emotionally mature and committed to each other. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
This 20 page paper provide an overview of the issues related to marital rape, including the legal and social evolution of the problem or concept, the issue of fraud in the legal practice (including the use of determinations of marital rape in marital dissolution) and other pertinent perspectives related to the problem. This paper introduces both legal and social theories related to the reemergence of claims of marital rape and the social implications. Bibliography lists 20 sources.
An 8 page paper that discusses several issues in family therapy. The paper begins with an explanation of the Milan Systemic Therapy approach and how it evolved; The next section compares and contrasts postmodernism and social constructionism in terms of family therapy. Paradoxes, directives and paradoxical directives are defined. The key elements in solution-focused brief therapy and solution-oriented therapy are explained. Narrative therapy is discussed including some of the techniques. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
A 10 page research paper comparing two forms of family therapy: Ericksonian hypno-therapy and brief family therapy. Detailed analysis are presented concerning the use of hypnosis in Ericksonian therapy and the traditionally short time span associated with brief family therapy. Specific techniques and outcomes are detailed when using these therapeutic approaches. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
William Wycherley's The Country Wife and Richard Brinsley Sheridan's School for Scandal both consider the structure and standards for marriage and the marital values that shape family life through the actions of their main characters. This 8 page paper considers the issues of marriage and marital values presented in these two works and relates the specific components of character development to the larger moral position of the society. No additional sources cited.
This is a 9 page paper using a qualitative approach to study cognitive behavioral therapy versus family therapy for treatment of anorexia nervosa. A qualitative study of cognitive behavioral therapy versus family therapy for treatment of anorexia nervosa includes various non-experimental components. Firstly, a statement of the problem introduces the prevalence of anorexia and the need for successful treatment in this disease which claims over 10 percent of those diagnosed. The statement of the problem is then followed by the purpose for the study, if any assumptions can be made and a qualitative review of the current methods of therapies. Several therapies have been used in the treatment of patients with anorexia which includes cognitive behavioral therapy, individual and group therapy, family therapy and pharmacotherapy as well as nutritional counseling. In this study, an assessment of the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy and that of family therapy are examined through a comparative view of current literature. Bibliography lists 23 sources.
This 25 page research paper considers the case scenario of John, a 19-year-old father, who faces multiple challenges, such as the need to find employment and provide support for his young son. This discussion of this case scenario considers this referral to family therapy from multiple perspectives. In Part 1, ethical, social and cultural issues, as well as relevant questions and challenges that should be answered and/or addressed within the context of therapy, are considered. Part 2 considers the theoretical and ethical grounds that are pertinent to the four possible approaches to therapy that are described in Part 1. Bibliography lists 26 sources.
This 16 page paper responds to specific student-provided questions. The essay describes and discusses aspects of family systems theory, structural family therapy, constructive family therapy, narrative therapy, solutions-focused and strengths-based approaches. The writer comments on reflection. The last section discusses working with children and adolescents using a constructive framework. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Baltimore's 100 best bars [Pictures]
Baltimore's nightlife scene is a reflection of its people -- extremely eccentric, but just as endearing. We put personality at a premium, and expect good value, too. So while we're happy to visit D.C. for the occasional swanky escape, given the choice, we'd take a cold Boh in a Baltimore bar nearly every time.
But which one? Ask 100 Baltimoreans their favorite bar and you'll likely receive just as many answers. That's because it's a diverse, forever-evolving community, susceptible to rising trends (craft cocktails, beer-snob hang-outs, sophisticated wine bars), but firmly committed to its long-standing haunts and dives. Last year, we broke the overall top bars list down into Top 10s (best places to go dancing, best places to meet singles, etc.). But this year, we stripped the signifiers and tackled the city's scene head-on. Raise a glass, and let the debates begin. --By Wesley Case

No. 44: Geckos( Barbara Haddock Taylor, Baltimore Sun photo / January 12, 2010 )
It's not easy to make three floors feel intimate, but this unpretentious Tex-Mex restaurant pulls it off. While its kitchen tends to draw customers in -- a rotating menu based on what's fresh at the market will do that -- regulars know there isn't a more welcoming seat at a bar. It's the ideal spot for a cold Corona and game of pool (or ping pong).

Mod of the Week: Double Action Boogaloo, for Half-Life 2
Amidst a flock of startled doves I dive left, my dual pistols blazing, and take down one enemy as another evades me by back-flipping off a wall. As I empty both clips, my dive becomes a prolonged sideways slide which takes me right off the roof of the skyscraper. I'm not alone: another thug sails over the ledge and joins me on my long plummet to the ground. While falling, I reload both guns and we trade fire all the way down to the street. Did I mention this happens in slow-motion? It's as if Jon Woo directed The Matrix when you play Double Action Boogaloo, a multiplayer mod for Half-Life 2.

Benjamin Johncocknovelist, writer
Ask me anything
Pencils and process
I love pencils. I wrote each draft of BURNING, BLUE using Staedtler's traditional HB; a fantastic pencil. They're light and feel good in the hand. I got through about thirty of the things.
The process was this: write a chapter, then go back and write it out again, deconstructing, editing, condensing in the space that exists between the two. Then do it again, and again, and again, until it's right - or as close to being right as I can get it before forcing myself to move on.
I'd end up with a massive stack of paper (I like to use lined, A4 paper, top bound, ideally 65gsm, with a narrow rule and margin) so I'd use a date stamp to identify each draft as I went, otherwise things would get very confusing. Then I'd type it up; an edit in itself.
At the end, I'd print it up single-spaced (I can't stand reading double-spaced) and read, scribble all over it, type it up again. Then print, scribble; rinse, repeat.
There's something unique and wonderful about writing in pencil. You feel a closer connection to the words as you put them down. Your fingers are grubby with lead; it gets in your nostrils; long furls peel from the sharpener, piling up as you write. I love the resolve that accompanies a freshly sharpened pencil; the added precision of those first hundred or so words. And the more words you write, the smaller your pencil gets. What better measure of progress? It's strange to witness. I can't think of other tool that vanishes as you use it. With a pen, you still have the pen when the ink has run dry. With a pencil, all that remains are the words on the page. I found myself somehow… smoking them… as I wrote. It was a bad habit.
I came across a great piece on pencils on Kottke this morning:
People love pencils. They love them. It's partly childhood nostalgia, partly how a craftsman comes to care for her tools, and partly the tactile experience. It's also a blend of appreciation for both their aesthetic and functional qualities, and (especially these days, but not only these days), a soupçon of the disruptive passion that comes from willfully embracing what poses as the technologically obsolete.
Spot on. He also says this:
I feel like there's something powerful about pencils that I feel viscerally but don't fully understand. There's the manuscript part: as much as I love to type, there's something super powerful in that alignment of the eye and the hand.
I, too, don't fully understand it. He quotes Pencil Revolution's founder Johnny Gamber:
The first and best reason to use pencils is because you like them and enjoy writing/drawing with them. Because you feel better connected to the paper you're writing on (or the wall, etc.) and the earth from which the clay, the graphite and the wood all came. Because they smell good. Because sharpening them can be a sort of meditative process. Because you can chew on them. Or for reasons we can't explain.
I love how he talks about pencils coming from, and being of, the earth. And he, too, ultimately can't explain why we love pencils. Which is another reason why I love pencils.
I have all the pencil stubs left over from writing BURNING, BLUE. They're old friends; comrades who laid down their lives for a greater cause; fallen heroes. They deserve a memorial of some kind. I may line them up, like soldiers, and frame them.

I have a TM502G on Comcast and would love to be able to collect data like that. How do you do it?
A bash script (Linux) grabs and formats all the data into a daily CSV file via cron job every 5 minutes. I'm no expert, just hack at it. An expert would roll their eyes. I've set up Excel (Windows) to import and plot it.
Let me know where to get the script and I will see if I can get Linux going in a VM or something. My power levels fluctuate a lot and I would like to understand how frequently and how much.I would really appreciate it!
If you can easily work up an Excel file that would be better for me. But if not I will give this a go...I have Excel 2010, BTW.Thanks,C1K
EXCESSIVE CHANNEL CHANGING continues - more than a dozen times per day. On DOCSIS 2 this means internet goes away for several seconds each time.
Hi clocks11, Yes, DOCSIS 3 solves the drop during channel changing, probably replacing it with a momentary drop in speed. But requiring a reboot is a far more drastic issue I've not seen. Glad you're ok, now.
Part of my problem is my signal has degraded over the years. This winter, I getting around -10dbvm. Over the summer it was -13 to -15. I suspect I may still have some issues when it warms up and the signal drops, but hopefully the 4 channels still help. I'm assuming if 1-2 channels drop, 1-2 will likely stay connected.
You can see the slight seasonal affect on my graph so yes, a few db drop is expected in the summer. Cold copper conducts better.Somewhere around -10dBmV starts the gray area as I recall. Hope it works out. Automatic software is one thing but you can always keep a log.I'm looking for that unexplained sudden shift which MAY indicate a bad connection, inside or outside. But it can be a system change, too, or the result of maintenance. Every channel isn't exactly the same level, either, so there's a lot of interpretation going on.I think my plot indicates a very stable example. But it's only one customer on one system.I know, if I were engineering a proactive maintenance system, I'd be monitoring these levels at key spots. Not sure if they do that or not. Heck, they have data available at every customer modem - not laboratory measuring devices but heck... they're free!
Thanks so much for the Excel file! I will have to try it when I get home tonight. I have been offline the past couple days.

Which innovative technologies in communication, transport, healthcare, education or construction are needed in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti?
In the aftermath of the Earthquake of two years ago, there is a need to assess priorities and evaluate a short, medium and longterm sustainable innovation strategy for a rapid economic and social development of Haiti; perhaps implementing this strategy at its devastated former civic core, that of the ruined National Palace and surrounding Champ de Mars area of the capital of Haiti, Port au Prince.
some links to consider:
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Simon Tutek 10+Feb 21 2012: What any society needs after a disaster is bottom-up organisation for producing food, fresh water and shelter.
Bottom-up meaning that residents of the affected area have to organise on small scale and tackle local problems one at a time.
Being dependant on external help for more then 1 year is a sure way into long term poverty and slavery.
For architects here is some inspirational video on building shelters / homes:
For the impassioned, here is the part about help after a tsunami hitting Andaman Islands in 2005:
Mary BonFeb 25 2012: Thanks for the links Simon; I agree about bottom-up but I believe also in external help for establishing efficient communication / infrastructure / transport systems in disaster areas, that way populations affected can learn fast and share knowledge effectively, understanding and assessing the importance of traditional building techniques and skills and anthropological factors of the population (traditional roles of men and women) of any land is obviously useful too before embarking on engaging with and employing innovative solutions. Sometimes a big stick marking the sand is as useful as pen and paper...

» Body Image Booster: Walking Meditation - Weightless
One of the ways we can start to feel more comfortable and more at home in our own bodies is to actually experience life in our bodies.
This may sound silly, but often we're so busy and hyper-focused on rushing around and accomplishing tasks that we might not be aware of our bodies.
And we might not feel the sensations of our bodies relating to our environment. Walking meditation helps to increase that awareness.
This practice allows us to awaken to our bodies and our surroundings.
We get to feel our feet as they touch the ground (or, as the author of the second practice below says, as we kiss the earth), all the while savoring slow, deep breaths.
You can practice walking meditation both at home and outdoors. And I know that for many of us, who are experiencing record low temps and snowstorms, inside might be the only option for now.
Here are several walking meditations to try:
- 10-minute walking meditation.
- Walking meditation and visualization.
- Walking back and forth.
- Walking meditation app, which includes three guided meditations. (I haven't tried this but it looks helpful.)
- A piece in Yoga Journal on walking meditation.
Right now I'm reading the book SHE: A Celebration of Greatness in Every Woman by Mary Anne Radmacher and Liz Kalloch. In it, there's a great quote from Julia Cameron on walking:
"The most potent tool for contacting inner guidance and creativity is walking."
Walking gives us the opportunity to get quiet and listen to ourselves. It's a powerful way to experience and connect with our bodies (and to experience our environment).
And it's something small, practical and pleasurable that we can truly practice one step at a time.
Have you ever practiced walking meditation? How did you like it?
Do you have any video ideas for us?
Write a response and I might pick your idea and give you a shoutout!

Hello I just want to share my story. I grew up seeing my step dad beating up my mom, hearing those painful words that my step dad throwing up my mom. But you know what I never thought to be a rebel child I was just thinking my mom is sacrificing a lot for me so why would I mess it all up, I got hurt every time of course but all I will do is just open up my microsoft word and type there what I really feel cause I don't have friends that I can tell them what's happening during those time. And now I'm just living with mom for 3 yrs now cause my step dad filed us cases so to be able to fight for our right we need to borrow big money (FYI those criminal cases was dismiss, but we're still under going some cases bcoz of their conjugal something) so up to now we're still wasting money for those and we have a big financial problem, it's hard, it's really stressful coz at the beginning of the problem I need to stop from going to school so I'm just gonna go out to attend our trial. Imagine 7-8 trials per month. I will not be hypocrite, there were times that I just want to die so it will be over but seeing my mom being strong for me so I should be as well. I'm not skinny I weigh 130+ pounds but it's okay with me (yes I need to be healthy I had my sugar test it's normal thank god, I'm not hypertensive as well) cause I'm enjoying my life, I'm not living my life to please some people, it's just I know how to love myself, appreciate what I can do try to conquer my fears. and I know I'm unique form others. People need to learn that they should know how to be happy with themselves, cause it's a choice. And now a days people having depression are lucky cause they can get help now like this blog. So cheers for you guys! thank you for helping and reaching out for those people whose having hard time with their lives (including me) keep it up!
So right now I'm on vacation with my family. It's a blast being with my brother and cousins all under one roof, going to the beach, and laughing our butts off every five seconds.
While this is all great, let me just mention that I am neither preppy nor athletic. My brother, along with ALL of my cousins, are BOTH preppy and athletic. While this doesn't bother them, I tend to be very self-conscious about it.
Today, my family decided to try watersports. I had an option between kayaking and paddle-boarding. Immediately, I chose kayaking. It was something I had done before and didn't require a ton of athletic experience. I was comfortable with it. If I chose paddle-boarding, I would most likely fall and embarrass myself. Not to mention, I'd be standing in my bathing suit, totally exposed to everyone around me. That's not exactly my idea of fun.
But while we were renting the equipment, I had a realization. I can't live in fear of a new experience just because I'm not a soccer superstar and don't have great coordination. I need to face every challenge head-on and kick butt, like I'm meant to.
That being said, I went out and kicked some serious ass. It took me a few minutes to find enough balance to stand up, but I did it. And you know what? It was SO MUCH FUN. I would have never been able to do that if I had hid in fear.
Take this as a lesson. Do one thing that scares you everyday. I'm pretty sure that's a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt. It's such a good idea. If you don't try new things, you'll never be able to get out of your comfort zone.
Have a great evening. Love you all.

Home Delivery Network rebrands as Yodel
Home Delivery Network has rebranded its entire business as Yodel as it looks to take on the Royal Mail in the parcel delivery sector.
The new name will be applied to both its business to business and consumer services.
The name change comes as the company looks to grab a larger slice of the parcel delivery market from rivals.
HDN acquired DHL's domestic parcel division in January making it the second largest parcel delivery service in the UK with 17% of the market behind the Royal Mail on 30%.
Jonathan Smith, Yodel CEO, says the rebrand is aimed at positioning the company as a "truly customer focused business offering a full suite of services".
He adds: "The combined business is already growing faster than the market and we are excited about our future potential."
Yodel claims that it is picked up over 100 new clients in the past two months. It aims to be the market leader in every industry sector.
Readers' comments (61)
a truly truly awful name. yodel sounds like something out of star wars! how are customers like myself going to be able to take this company seriously. colour is terrible also, how do u people come up with this rubbish
The name but could be either the mountain call or an abbreviation of Yo Delivery. As good or bad as Consignia and talking of star wars - ParcelForce (may the force be with you).
Colours are bright, but surely any company wants to be seen and get its message across. Interesting as a reader of Marketing Week that the previous comment did not understand this.
The concept behind Yodel is so fresh and new - it is so nice to see a brand which has no old school focus. Good work!
I can't wait to "Yodel it!"
Saw this van on the road today, it certainly stood out - quite trendy I thought.
I think initially it will be a bit 'marmite'. I took to it straight away, others may take a little longer I guess. I don't suppose it really matters what the name is as long as my parcels get delivered as I want them to. It is refreshing to see a carrier at least try to put the emphasis on the customer at last though. Good luck to 'em I say!
I currently work with dhl and think the new name will be quite catchy and easily remembered, should get new customers to come on board and give it a try
you dopes! This is truly an awesome name and style change and moves completely away from the usual bland express\link\parcels conventions that blights the marketplace. Wonder if you are the same guys who thought Google was a silly name - you're suppose to be professionals!
Design looks really innovative, fresh and forward thinking.
We need more like this in today's stale market.
A name should not matter its the quality of service that they provide their customers.
I have been through every change with this company since 1989
Home Delivery was the first name
fedex failed to take over
then business express
white arrow
Yodel! come on it's rubbish
something more internet based
would make
internet express would sound more pro
at least were gonna get away from the "white van man"

Prince William makes first public appearance
Britain's Prince William has made his first official public appearance since he and his wife, Duchess Catherine, brought their baby son, Prince George, home from hospital.
Britain's Prince William has made his first official public appearance since becoming a father.
The 31-year-old royal - who became a dad for the first time when his wife Duchess Catherine gave birth to their son Prince George on July 22 - took part in the Audi Polo Challenge at Coworth Park, Berkshire, South East England on Saturday (03.08.13), alongside his brother, Prince Harry.
The game was held to benefit SkillForce and The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, of which William is patron and president respectively.
Meanwhile, it has been revealed William has been singing Coldplay songs in order to get George to get back to sleep as he is up six times a night and is keeping Carole and Michael Middleton, the parents of Catherine - previously known as Kate Middleton - awake.
A royal insider said: ''William had no idea it would be this tough.
''He's using a bizarre tactic of belting out Coldplay anthems at all hours of the night even though he can barely hold a note.
''It's even keeping Kate's parents awake. He's been singing 'Paradise' and he also loves doing 'Yellow'. George responds to Coldplay's songs the most and settles back down.''
William and Catherine are looking after George at her parents' home in Bucklebury, Berkshire, but William has been ducking out of morning greetings by heading back to bed to catch up with some much-needed sleep following his nighttime singing sessions.
The insider added: ''Wills is shattered by the morning so he heads to bed for a couple of hours and Kate springs back into action along with her parents.''

From El Barrio to La Realidad, Women Lead Struggles to Transform the World
The women of the Movement for Justice in El Barrio–a community-based organization led by immigrant women in New York– and the Zapatista women of La Realidad are two examples of how women in struggle all over the world are coming together to inspire and learn from each other, and how, in the process, they are transforming the world.
Being Young and Zapatista in La Realidad
Selena is a young woman born into Zapatismo and brought up in and with a Zapatista autonomous education. She knows no gender or age restrictions. She was appointed to a post that is indispensable to the survival of the collective–to register facts and occurrences and then share with the community what she has heard, discovered and learned. Nobody doubts her truth or integrity, her strength or the fidelity of the information she communicates. She was trained for this. The Assembly chose her for this role because of these qualities.
Confronting the Central American Refugee Crisis
They can't stay and they have nowhere to go. Forced out by poverty and the threat of imminent death in their countries, extorted by organized crime, kidnapped and executed in the transit countries and deported if they make it to their destination.
Subcomandante Marcos announces: "We have decided that as of today, Marcos no longer exists"
Subcomandante Marcos no longer exists. The Zapatistas resolved to destroy him, just as they decided to create him during the January 1994 uprising." Exclusive report of the Americas Program from La Realidad, Chiapas.
Zapatistas Mourn a Death and Begin a New Cycle of Building Indigenous Autonomy
On Friday May 2, 2014 an Indigenous Zapatista teacher, Jose Luis Solís López – known by his name 'in the struggle' as "Compañero Galeano" – was ambushed and murdered. The murder of Galeano has galvanized a re-organization within the ranks of the Zapatistas and a renewed international solidarity movement.
Uranium Mine Clean-up Movement Claims Victory, Vows to Go National
Peace and environmental justice advocates in the United States are rallying for the clean-up of abandoned uranium mines while working together on a shared agenda.
NAFTA, Insecurity, Power Vacuums and Violence in Rural Mexico
Rural Mexico is experiencing a crisis in human security crisis. The drastic transformation of public policies toward the agricultural sector, induced by programs of structural adjustment and trade liberalization especially the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), created conditions for the emergence of the multiple forms of violence in Mexican agriculture.

29 new La. Master Farmers recognized
The 2014 graduates of the Louisiana Master Farmer Program were recognized at the 68th Annual Meeting of the Louisiana Soil and Water Conservation Districts recently.
"You have created a masterpiece of conservation," said Kevin Norton, state conservationist with the Natural Resources Conservation Service. "This is to acknowledge the great work you have done."
Norton said the Master Farmer designation indicates these producers are responsible stewards of the environment.
The voluntary, incentive-based Master Farmer Program should help convince regulatory agencies that Louisiana producers are doing their best to maintain clean air, water and soil, he said.
The entire board of the Vermilion Parish Soil and Water Conservation District is now Master Farmers, and many NRCS employees have become certified, demonstrating that they recognize the significance of the program.
One NRCS employee, Larry Sayes, of Avoyelles Parish, was chosen as Outstanding Master Farmer after the new Master Farmers were recognized.
Bill Richardson, LSU vice president for agriculture, said the Master Farmer partnership - the LSU AgCenter, the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry, the Louisiana Farm Bureau and the Louisiana Cattlemen's Association - will be important to address potential regulatory issues facing Louisiana agriculture. "It's nice to work in a state where everyone is working on the same page."
Mike Strain, LDAF commissioner, said Louisiana has led the nation by developing the Master Farmer Program. "Louisiana is truly a pioneer in this respect."
The Master Rice Grower Program, developed with the Kellogg Co. to reward rice farmers for their conservation practices, could be expanded to other commodities, he said.
Strain was among the 29 individuals recognized for completing the requirements of the Louisiana Master Farmer Program.

Archaeologists have uncovered evidence of at least two Roman forts at a supermarket construction site near Falkirk.
Artefacts including bones, jewellery and coins were discovered at the development in Camelon.
Contractors Barr Construction, who are currently building a Tesco store on the site, are to put the excavated items on public display.
Experts believe the forts date back to the first and second centuries AD.
Two other excavations at the site, one in the 1900s and the other in the 1970s also found evidence of Roman occupation.
Leather shoes, ceramics and ovens were found in this latest dig.
Martin Cook, chief archaeologist at the site, said the fort was at the north-west frontier of the Roman empire and would have had a significant strategic role, as well as being one of the most heavily populated areas of Scotland in Roman times. Read more.
Jealous. The only thing supermarket construction uncovers here is more dirt and occasionally pipes.

Learning is work: It's a philosophy, personal mantra and now magnum opus of lifelong learner, teacher and artist Peter Hayes. And students and friends want to ensure he's around a long time to champion it.
In February, the Rowland Hall High School biology teacher stepped away from the classroom after 18 years at the school to tend to his health after being diagnosed with a life-threatening lung disease called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Difficult as it was, Hayes said, even the decision to leave taught him something.
"Having to leave teaching was really bad for me," he said. "I love being in the classroom; it's my place. But if I've done one important thing in my life, aside from raising my family, it was to become a teacher and to give to society what I think is the most noble thing anybody could ever do — teach children."
Years before he realized that charge, Hayes was teaching river rafters and fellow ski patrolmen the ecology, biology, anatomy and physiology he had learned over countless hours running rivers and working ski slopes in California, Oregon and Idaho.
"My whole theme was, 'Be an efficient learner so that you have more time to have fun,'" he said. "You have got to enjoy life."
Hayes enjoyed the life of professional outdoorsman for more than 15 years before taking his first full-time teaching job in 1989. Six years later, and somewhat disenchanted with the lack of time the public school system allowed him to spend instructing individual students, Hayes took a job with Rowland Hall — a decision that he said changed his life and freed his approach.
"I could spend my time teaching," he said. "And then I could instill my values of caring about society, of wanting to share what you have and be nice to people and to think of those who have less and to help them in whatever way you can."
When Hayes announced in February that he would no longer be able to instill these values in the classroom, it was hard for students and parents to accept. Soon after finding out about the diagnosis, longtime friends John and Amy Nichols were determined to do what they could to defray some of his medical costs and thought Hayes' art might be the key to doing so.
Knowing Hayes' talents as an artist, John Nichols told him to get busy putting together a collection of works that they could auction as gifts. Having benefited firsthand from Hayes' mentorship, John Nichols said he threw himself into the effort because he couldn't stand by and watch the community lose such a vital asset.
"He is just a force for good in the community and always has been," he said. "He's one of those rare individuals that stands up and fights for what's right."
While Hayes got to work on some of the most ambitious pieces he had ever created, John Nichols approached Glenda Bradley, owner of 15th Street Gallery, who agreed to host an event where Hayes could show and auction his work to parents and friends who wished to express their thanks.
Seventeen paintings left with friends, colleagues and parents of students who donated more than $70,000. Jim Bradley, who helped frame and prepare the paintings and other work for the show and whose two kids took biology from Hayes, said the turnout and the generosity are a testament to Hayes and the impact he has had.
"It's a statement to his quality," he said. "When you have a quality teacher of Peter's stature, one who's been able to touch so many students, the parents recognize that and respond to something like this."
The centerpiece of the show was Hayes' "Learning Is Work," a 12-by-4-foot mixed-media collage composed primarily of more than 100,000 hand-written grades spanning his entire career at Rowland Hall. Shortly after announcing his departure, Hayes extracted the grades by hand from dozens of books he couldn't bring himself to throw out.
"It was really cathartic for me," he said. "It was almost like I was cutting myself out of my job, cutting myself out of what I did for so many years, so many decades."
To ensure Hayes always has a place at the school, a group of parents donated more than $30,000 to give "Learning Is Work" a permanent home at Rowland Hall. The painting will serve as a reminder that, for Hayes, learning is his work, but teaching is his life.
Twitter: @sltribCity
Meet Peter Hayes
Peter Hayes taught ninth-grade biology at Rowland Hall for 18 years before having to leave the classroom due to a diagnosis of a irreversible lung disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Friends, former students and parents affected by Hayes' life and work thanked the lifelong learner and artist at a gallery showing of his work where 17 paintings and many other pieces were auctioned for more than $70,000 in donations to be used to defray his treatment costs.
His magnum opus, "Learning Is Work" — made from more than 100,000 hand-written grades spanning his career at Rowland Hall — will find a permanent home in the school thanks to a donation of more than $30,000 from a group of parents.

Greenskeepers Cover NIN's Hurt
Here's a little something to break the monotony of spreadsheets and emails. Chicago-based band Greenskeepers are at it again. First they manipulated Robert Pattison and Twilight, now they've put a creative spin on NIN's "Hurt" and joined it perfectly with a clip from the Academy Award-winning short animated film, Harvie Krumpet. Not sure if it'll play into their live set, but you can find out. They are playing Mission Rock on July 12.

LIMF is proud and delighted to announce that What's Become of You? (Questcequetudeviens?)
by Compagnie 111 / Aurélien Bory / Stéphanie Fuster, presented at the Barbican as part of the 2014 festival, has been nominated for an Olivier Award in the category of Best New Dance Production.
In the words of the Olivier Award judges, the show 'raised the bar for flamenco, distilling the essence of the traditional Spanish form of dance and giving it a new story, an artist's journey of discovery'.
The 'Oliviers' are Britain's most prestigious theatre awards, recognising excellence and star quality.
Congratulations to Aurélien, Stéphanie and their colleagues, for achieving this great honour!

The London International Mime Festival was founded in 1977 and has become one of the world's most influential visual theatre festivals. More history >
'In these sluggish January days, the London International Mime Festival continues to provide a welcome burst of (silent) clamour'
Evening Standard
'The London International Mime Festival might seem a bit of a mouthful as a title. But really it's a remarkable feat of compression given that it ought to be called "Things That Have Grabbed the Attention of Co-Directors Helen Lannaghan and Joseph Seelig That Others Might Label Variously Dance, Performance Art, Circus and Puppetry, Not Always From Abroad, Sometimes With Talking'
Daily Telegraph
'A fabulous event'
Business Review Europe
'Marketing the London International Mime Festival must be an annual headache. What is it, for a start? It might be easier to say what it isn't, but even that involves qualification. It's certainly not a poor man's Cirque du Soleil, nor a three-week season of euro-zoners feeling their way round invisible boxes.'
The Independent
'I am, once again, very lucky to be in London during the International Mime Festival... I wish I had a chance to see all of the shows in the festival... I am excited and encouraged, as always, to have a glimpse of the evolution of circus arts here in Great Britain.'
Running Away With the Circus
'The most resolutely outward looking of the UK's visual theatre festivals... LIMF has been running for over 30 years and a look back at the programme archive proves their eye for picking the greats before they've made it. In London, and more widely, the country, it's unchallenged in size and reach.'
Sideshow Circus Magazine
'A must-see programme of physical and visual theatre work, from the UK and from around the world.'
