Disclaimer: the label was taken by me from bodybuilding.com because i am sluggish
To place it brief, this profile is actually great. I enjoy the number of aminos within the blend that is amino. Do not get me personally incorrect, i am additionally an admirer of this bcaas that is simple a well-dosed combination never hurt anyone, particularly pre-workout. Compared to something such as Amino Energy, the combination is larger but does not have carbohydrates, calories, plus some regarding the fluff like beta-alanine (not really near to an efficacious dosage). When it comes to power combination, additionally it is larger but bigger. I prefer the inclusion of choline bitartrate and yerba-mate in to the mix alongside more classic tea combination that is caffeine-green. A blend that is solid in accordance with just 100mg of caffeinated drinks per information, using 3 scoops (with lots of liquid) is okay. Eventually, i am a fan that is huge of synthetic colors/dyes. It's a bonus that is great supplements but not often a make or break concern in my situation. Nevertheless, i enjoy recognize and offer the health supplement businesses that understand synthetic colors/dyes do not belong in supplements, of most things.
—-Taste/Mixability/Dosing—- 10/10
I got myself 3 tubs associated with good fresh fruit punch taste once I discovered this for a steal that essentially worked off to BOG2. During the period of 90 scoops, we never ever expanded sick and tired of the taste. It reminded myself of a Tropicana fresh fruit punch and had been constantly enjoyable to take in. Furthermore, the taste had been quite powerful and so I always utilized about 16-20oz of liquid for 1 information. We never really had any problems with blending, even though We left a container available and it also clumped a bit that is little. Along with this, it's most likely unsurprising that we utilized Amino carry during the day. Needless to say, we frequently utilized a bigger helping pre or intra-workout, but In addition discovered scoops that are anywhere 1-2 any various other the main time to work effectively also.
—-Effectiveness—- 8.5/10
Amino carry is an extremely product that is solid. The reason that is main purchased and took the product had been for power using the included advantageous asset of aminos, plus it delivered. I usually got a great, clean power. In addition thought some endurance that is enhanced dosing Amino carry pre or intra-workout. In terms of data recovery goes, we believed like some recovery was got by me advantages. I am a believer that is big aminos improving data recovery therefore I attribute several of my data recovery to it. Although this is certainly not a single product that is bcaa large amounts, it can have glutamine and bcaas with it (along with other helpful aminos). Generally there is question in my own brain that my data recovery ended up being assisted by Amino carry.
—-Value—- 8/10
It can be found normally for about $15 with shipping and often times for sale while I found this on sale. When comparing to various other items like Amino Energy, the purchase price is quite reasonable. Some may state that making use of scoops that are 2-3 this less important, but I prefer 2+ portions of comparable services and products so it's a wash for me personally. In my experience, that's the nature for this group I really do not actually penalize the product for the. Additionally, at whenever dosed at 3 scoops (300mgs of caffeinated drinks), Amino carry might be changing an even more supplement that is expensive pre-workout, therefore once more i believe it's a little bit of a wash. Therefore this product is given by me a good 8 for price.
—-Side Effects—- 10/10
I obtained no relative negative effects while using the the product. It a 10/10 for no sides so I have to give.
—-Conclusion—- 8.5/10
We liked Amino that is using Carry. It's a option that is great the amino-based power group and incredibly flexible. It offered myself with clean power plus some recovery that is enhanced stamina. Maybe equally crucial whenever ingesting 16-20+ozs at the same time, Amino carry additionally had a refreshing that is great that ended up being similar to a Tropicana good fresh fruit punch. Along with all of this, this has the bonus that is added of synthetic colors/dyes. The problem that is only can find using this item could be the cost when making use of greater dosages, but we currently resolved that into the price part. In other words, we'll surely purchase the product once more.
Good Healing
Increased Power
Solid Profile
Taste Good

Le collane
"Fuoco Russo Segreto"
Collana Russa
Anno di pubblicazione: 2002
Casa editrice: Mursia
Prefazione: Giuliano Urbani
In the spring of 1999 Europe is deeply troubled by the events in Kosovo and is about tobe bombed.In Paris Andrej Klimkin, military attaché at the Russian embassy, shoots himself. Heleaves a strange suicide note........I have been being hunted down for 13 years...Chernobyl....Ican no longer bear to watch helplessly the massacre which is taking place before my very eyes.... signedin a different name by which everyone knew him: Andreev, the name he was known byin the KGB.
Chernobyl....KGB...What really happened on the night of April 26th, 1986 whichseemed like the beginning of the end of the world? Maybe an awkward suicide hasuncovered some hidden past some unknown past?This mystery intrigues Elena Skutova, a beautiful, cultivated Russian in her forties, afriend of the dead man and who, in any case had been personally affected by Chernobyl(her father, a nuclear scientist, had died of cancer as a result). Elena Skutova, a cleverdiplomat with a promising future, puts both her career and life at risk to solve themystery, shocked as she is by a surprise discovery. In the file containing the dead man'spersonal documents, which is her job to return to Russia, she finds a letter in whichKlimkin-Andreev mentions Chernobyl again and also confesses to his wife his personalsense of guilt in the deaths of Elena's father and the other victims of the disaster as if itwere no accident but a terrible planned attack for which he feels partly responsible!Elena, whose life had already been seriously affected by the world events of the previous25 years (her adored husband having been killed in Afghanistan) soon discovers thatsomeone else is also after the documents in her possession (mostly of little interestexcept for the letter, probably someone had already taken or destroyed any othercompromising documents): Klimkin's Moscow flat had been ransacked.
No threat danger deters Elena from her determination , she is driven by the feeling thata hidden power is concealing something truly terrible, she remembers her father's dyingmoments (there is a moving description of this in the book in which he utters someenigmatic words about Chernobyl to which, at the time, Elena gives no importance).Elena begins living an intense and dramatic double life; on the one hand as an extremelyable and accomplished diplomat in the rich and protected world of civil service, and onthe other, in a dangerous and threatening underground world which takes her to Rome,Paris, Budapest and Belgrade. It turns out to be even more dangerous than she thought:in Rome, she has a rendez-vous in the Domus Aurea whit Klimkin's supposed brother.It is a trap and she escapes whit her life when an innocent tourist is killed in her stead.The danger that Elena is in becomes ever more tangible and the reader discoverssomething even more unsettling. An intriguing telephone conversation, a conference calllinking London, Singapore, Johannesburg, New York, Moscow and Shanghai reveals theexistence of a kind of secret sect: a group of unknown but powerful men are openlydiscussing among themselves the failed attempt to eliminate Elena and also their plans todominate the entire world both politically and economically!
Unaware of all this Elena enrolls the help of a powerful English businessman, an advisorto Tony Blair, who helps her to meet some influential people in the world of geneticresearch and international commerce. Still without any specific leads, Elena however,develops her own theory, which will not in fact be too far from the truth: an entirerereading of all the supposed values of the 20th century. Maybe the Russian revolutionhad simply been good business for Western capitalists, isolating Russia, preventing itfrom developing into a dangerous competitor! Perhaps the truths presented to the manin the street have been little more than a stage set, little more than an illusion.
The presence of the West in Russian affairs is immediately confirmed by an enlighteningflash-back to a discussion which had taken place within the Russian government beforethe attack on the parliament building: mercenaries and western infiltrators inMoscow....directing first the uprising and then its repression.
Although nurturing the most terrible doubts Elena never stops behaving like the perfectRussian and continues her work: she will take part in diplomatic mission to Paris,Budapest and Belgrade, in a desperate attempt to deflect the growing crisis, the bombingof Serbia, the isolation of Yeltsin.
Meanwhile someone has stolen Klimkin's file which Elena had locked up at the railwaystation in Rome.It is a difficult time: from Hungary Elena travels to Serbia on unsafe roads, through poorvillages which are soon to be demolished by war. During this time and years after thedeath of her husband, she meets and falls passionately in love whit a German journalist,Stephan Schmidt, who will travel whit her to Belgrade. Like Elena, Stephan, too, carriesthe scars of the final years of the century ( in Argentina, Videla's coup, thedesparecidos...)
In forceful images (a bridge on the Danube, gypsies, jugglers, barges and bombs...)Alberini paints a picture of Serbia on the eve of war. Elena attends the futile meetingbetween Chernomydrin and Milosovic: the meeting breaks down and the Serbian leaderleaves with an enigmatic "remember Chernobyl". Another jolt to Elena's memory, whilewe, the readers, learn from another world-wide phone call between the all- powerful thatnot only have they decided to spare Elena but they will try and use towards their ownends.
The ghosts of Chernobyl torment Elena, who luckily up again with Stephan at theMetropole Hotel in Belgrade: a powerful love scene takes place while the bombs beginto fall on the city.Inevitably the rest of the plot takes place in Moscow : Elena decides to challenge dangerto the limits. In fact the wife of the dead man lives in Moscow and probably keeps herhusband's secret papers.
She lives in a squalid 5 storey block of flats on the outskirts of Moscow. Elena ,however, finds that someone else has got there first and Klimkin's wife has beenhorribly murdered. Yeltsin's own police arrive and hold Elena with a series of vagueexcuses. It is clear that complex conspiracy is weaving itself around her, in which anambiguous part is played by the androgenous beauty, Lilja, who Elena had previouslymet in Serbia.
In the city, whitened by a late fall of snow, Elena meets Stephan again, with a Russianjournalist friend of his, at the Majakovskij Museum where they all plan to go and find
Sergej Andreev, Klimkin's brother, also an ex KGB agent, now hiding somewhere inSiberia.They have adventurous and lucky escape from Moscow by air. Then in Gloskovskoe(Irkustk) they come very near the moment of truth.
Kimkin's brother, Sergej Andreev, lives right on the edge of civilization, holed up in anizba, protected from the ice and snow. On their arrival the three have a ferocious fightwith hired hitmen who have been sent to kill him, and he, in fact, is the last (and by nowthe only one) to know.
Hidden under the floor of the izba are the documents that so many spies had beenlooking for.The first dates back to the 22nd May 1986: two Russian scientists inform Gorbachov thatstrange coded messages warning of a disaster at Chernobyl, had appeared in themagazine Seven Days (authentic pages of which appear in the book!), giving those in theknow time to get away. The second refers to 1917: bankers from every nation hadfinanced the Russian revolution, a document with all their signatures is the proof!Someone therefore had used Chernobyl to bring Gorbachov to his knees. Are theyperhaps the descendants of those who financed the revolution? Are they the same oneswho cold-heartedly decide the fates of both the world and of single individuals likeElena and Klimkin?
The three heroes leave Andreev to dig deeper into the frozen Siberia wasteland in searchof an improbable serenity. They return to west and will try and tell the world what theyhave discovered by publishing an article called "Planetary Government the dark side ofthe planet" in Isvestia and Frankfurter Allegmeine...
The last chapter begins in a Moscow flat where Elena and Stephan manager to create forthemselves a fleeting moment of love, while we hear again what now seems even moresinister prophetic warnings from the dead ex KGB agent, forewarning of new andterrible international terrorist attacks (at this time only a few years before the epochmaking tragedy of the twin towers) whit which the great and the powerful of the worldsubjugate the people and crush those who oppose their plans. Whoever cold-bloodedlyplanned the millions of deaths in the Ukraine is not going to hesitate to be the architectof other atrocities, in the name of a "new man", perhaps will never exist.
Un pacco di fogli stampati di fresco: sanno ancora di estenuanti revisioni notturne. Sulla prima pagina Mariella ha corretto a mano, probabilmente qualche minuto prima del nostro incontro. Mariella è Mariella Alberini: buona giornalista; esperta di politica estera (conosco e apprezzo il gran lavoro che ha svolto al Parlamento Europeo). Un'amica, soprattutto, da anni. È per questo che non capisco il suo strano imbarazzo, mentre mi allunga quei fogli. La sua voce, che prima saliva in un trillo audace, ora precipita in un baratro sordo.
- Un esperimento. – la voce torna squillante, voce di eterna bella ragazza - Ho scritto un romanzo. Un altro.
Gli impegni politici hanno da tempo riempito la mia vita, come un padrone troppo esigente.
- Non ho tempo per i romanzi, Mariella. Non ho proprio tempo.
- Dagli almeno un'occhiata.
- Che cosa desideri, in realtà?
- Solo un po' di compagnia in quest'avventura sciagurata. Sarei felice se ti piacesse.
E allora me lo sono portato a casa, il pacco di fogli che profumavano d'infinite riscritture. Non sapevo quando, e se lo avrei letto davvero.
Poi mi sono imbattuto nell'incipit, così secco e distaccato, eppure così drammatico. Tra quelle prime righe si mostrava una parola terribile: Chernobyl.
Sono arrivato sino in fondo, facendomi portare attraverso i luoghi più affascinanti della nostra Europa: Parigi, Vienna, Budapest, Roma… un rondò mozartiano. È la primavera del '99: i tempi della crisi del Kossovo. Alberini ritrae Belgrado sconvolta dai bombardamenti; dipinge Mosca avvolta dall'ultima neve crudele; si spinge sino in Siberia. I suoi personaggi sono spesso individui di qualità superiore e la protagonista è come lei: impetuosa e fragile, sicura e piena d'incertezze.
Mariella non ha rinunciato alle sue radici di giornalista: il suo libro è cronaca. Vi si respira dunque un'atmosfera inquietante. Tali e tanti sono i riferimenti a eventi drammatici della fine dello scorso secolo, che pare di leggervi spiegazioni del tormentato inizio di questo Millennio. Di più non dirò, per non rovinarvi il piacere della sorpresa.
Le chiedo:
- Mariella, dove hai trovato… certi spunti… e quei documenti…
- È solo un romanzo… ma gli occhi si chiudono in una fessura ironica.
Crediamoci, che sia solo un bel romanzo, però Mariella Alberini, forse, non ce la racconta giusta.

Music Students Enjoy Listening to
Meagan Clements
Staff Writer $l\ Z^Jf
A spectacular hour of classical and
cabaret music emanates every Thursday at
noon in Harbeson Hall. Various professional musicians dedicate their time to
expose students to new styles of sound.
Weekly performances are arranged for
PCC's Music 10 students. However, the
show is open to all who wish to attend if
room is available. The semester-long
course is for music majors and minors primarily, but it is open to all students.
Music 10 focuses on introducing students to music by listening to lectures and
live performances. In addition, students
are required to broaden their experiences
by attending two outside performances on
their own and writing a review for each.
"The idea of the class is that we feel
that music majors should go to concerts as
often as possible," said music professor
Robert Eaton. 'The analogy I use is if I
were an artist, I would go to museums to
see what other painters do. We're exposing them to that."
Eaton said that most of the Thursday
performances have classical themes, but
other musical styles are also included.
Most of the performances are instrumental and feature a variety of instrumental
strings, percussion, piano, woodwinds,
brass and even guitar. Eaton said that he
has "no favorite moments." He values all
forms of good music.
Two performers who volunteered their
time were vocalist Glenn Carlos and
pianist Elaine Ono. Complementing each
other, their cabaret music was deeply passionate and emotional. The combination
of the vocals and lush sounds of the piano
touched the audience in a very emotional
manner. The response of the crowd
Live Concerts Weekly
brought smiles to the faces of these talented individuals.
Other performers have been PCC guitar professor Riner Scivally and vocalist
Dorothy Collins, who poured their hearts
and souls into some very jazzy tunes.
"Jazz is my favorite style [of. music},"
Collins said. 'That is the beauty of jazz,
it is so open to interpretation and I can
express my personality. I sing at church
every week, and I also like gospel music."
"I don't have a favorite style," Scivally
said. "Hike it all. I really enjoy accompanying Dorothy because she is such a sensitive singer with great pitch. We wanted
to explore music that was much more intimate and quiet than the concert hall." ;
"We want [students] to hear a variety
of pretty standard music literature," Eaton
said. "There are no tests [in Music 10],."
Sometimes there are lectures, but mostly it
consists of just performances." The half-
unit class may be taken a maximum of
four times. Eaton described the class as a
"cross section of the general student
body," he said. There is nothing special or
different from any other large class.
However, the other large music classes
don't get to enjoy an hour of live music
every week.

A recent case in Oklahoma has revived the old stories of spontaneous human combustion, where a person is quickly immolated from no apparent cause.
"Danny Vanzandt May Have Died from Spontaneous Human Combustion"
The notion of such an event has been believed by some and simultaneously disbelieved by others for centuries. Personally, I think people just like a good story, and if it's entertaining enough to tickle the imagination some will believe it. This article from a 1966 issue of Adam takes an entertaining yet skeptical view of the "phenomenon."

Portrait of a Trucking Company
Career Path : Automotive
The majority of freight in North America is moved by truck. Hauling several ton cargoes across the ribbons of asphalt that link up the continent, the truck driver is answerable to their employer, the trucking company. This is such an important part of the economy that thereâs even specialized training on the subject available through a transport training school.
Trucking companies can be managing hundreds of cargoes. It is the trucking companyâs responsibility to coordinate all the trucks in its fleet. True, some truck drivers are independent contractors who own their own vehicles, but plenty are owned and maintained by the company and even contractors need the larger framework for the company to help them find work.
A transports and freight office needs to have a central office. Thatâs the brain, where a central dispatcher or two keep in contact with trucks while theyâre on the road. This is getting increasingly technologically sophisticated. While once upon a time the sole means of contact was a two way CB radio, now things like GPS mean that the central office can know exactly where the vehicles are at all time, for an increasingly accurate picture of delivery date estimations. Itâs no surprise that the staff turns to dispatcher courses to keep their skills up to date.
Trucking companies may or may not own their own warehouses. If they do they need someone with a degree from a transport operations school to co-ordinate the actual cargos. Each steel container crate or tank will be tagged and tracked. Universal barcodes and computerized records keep track of what is being transported and if it needs special care. Â Some things being transported need to be kept at exact temperatures. This could be chilled, in the case of a truck full of milk, or kept warm for certain industrial products. Some cargo, like livestock, has to be periodically fed and watered. And of course some cargo is flammable, corrosive, explosive or even radioactive.
If they own their own trucks, they also need to be maintained. Though a small fleet can be outsourced, big companies will have their own giant garages, sized to fit the trucks they need to look after and staffed by people with degrees from an auto mechanic school. These graduates will need the certification and expertise to work on diesel engines. Trucks, by and large, use this fuel instead of regular gasoline.
Of course, not all trucking companies have these things. The smallest hauling is done in one person operations. A step above the man-with-a-van, these people canât leverage scale, but they can still make a comfortable living with an owner operated business.
Visit Canadian Automotive & Trucking Institute for more information on dispatcher courses.

How "Killing Kennedy" and "Parkland" Explore Other Sides of the JFK Assassination
November 2013 marked the 50th anniversary of the tragic assassination of President John F. Kennedy which forever changed the nation. In the midst of the anniversary of one of the darkest moments in American history, two films seek to expand the events that unfolded leading up to the shooting and its aftermath. "Killing Kennedy," a television film which aired on the National Geographic channel, chronicles the Kennedy presidency while dramatizing the life of his assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, a Marxist and Soviet and Cuba sympathizer. In the film "Parkland," a series of over-lapping story lines are depicted immediately occurring after the shooting, including the hospital staff which failed to revive the fatally-wounded president and the unwitting cameraman who filmed the clearest shot of Kennedy's assassination. These two films dramatize the real-life people and events surrounding the event to give new perspectives for viewers.
Killing Kennedy
In "Killing Kennedy," an adaptation of Bill O'Reilly's bestselling book, we see the narrative timeline from 1959 to November 22, 1963, the date of Kennedy's assassination. Over the course of the film, the lives of Kennedy (Rob Lowe) and Oswald (Will Rothhaar) are depicted and the events leading up to that parade in Dallas. While the life and presidency of Kennedy has been well-documented and dramatized in various films, television movies and miniseries, his depiction in "Killing Kennedy" touches upon the most notable personal and political moments of his presidency. From his announcement of his candidacy and eventual election night win in 1960 to his disappointment in the Bay of Pigs fiasco and his administration's successful negotiation to end the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. Meanwhile, his family life is also touched up with no new revelations. His loving wife Jacqueline (Ginnifer Goodwin) remains by his side despite the illusion of infidelity in the White House and the tragic heartbreak they suffered over the death of their newborn son Patrick.
However, the scenes involving Kennedy tends to only serve as a time stamp for the portrayal of Oswald, from 1959 while living in Russia and attempting to defect from the U.S. up until his eventual arrest and assassination while in custody. For viewers, the Oswald narrative is more interesting, especially for those who were unfamiliar with Oswald's backstory and motivation in the assassination. Make no mistake, this film is far from glorifying Oswald in this dramatization. Nor does this address any possible conspiracy theories that have existed since that day. "Killing Kennedy" purports that Oswald was a lone-wolf whose disgust in American capitalism drove him to kill Kennedy in hopes of spreading Marxism in the U.S.
Just before his 20th birthday, Oswald, a former U.S. Marine, visited the U.S. Embassy in Moscow to declare his renouncement of his American citizenship while hinting that he had already spoken to unknown Soviet officials about his knowledge of the Marine Corps., but would only be discharged of his military service. Living in Minsk, Oswald grew tired and wished to return to the U.S. and in 1961, he wrote to the U.S. Embassy in Moscow requesting return of his American passport, and proposing to return to the U.S. if any charges against him would be dropped. Meanwhile, Oswald, who was fluent in Russian, meets and falls in love with Marina Prusakova (Michelle Trachtenberg), a Soviet pharmacology student who spoke very little English. The two would marry soon after and settled in the Dallas-Fort Worth area where his mother and brother lived.
While finding it difficult to maintain a steady job, Oswald would hole up in his room writing out his manifestos against an oppressing government and became an outspoken sympathizer for the Communist regime in Cuba. Before his plot to kill Kennedy, Oswald attempted to kill retired U.S. Major General Edwin Walker, an outspoken anti-Communist, by firing his rifle at Walker through a window, from less than 100 feet away but failed while being undetected. He and his wife and children moved to New Orleans but Oswald was arrested for handing out pro-Cuba flyers and would soon become a target of surveillance by the F.B.I. Wishing to travel to Cuba via Mexico, Cuban embassy officials insisted Oswald would need Soviet approval but he was unable to get prompt co-operation from the Soviet embassy. Due to the complexity of being granted access to Cuba, Oswald abandons his plan and heads back to Dallas, where he would soon be hired for a job at Texas School Book Depository. At this point, Oswald believes it is his mission to assassinate the president due to his commitment to Marxism. We see Oswald having illusions of grandeur as he writes up his manifestos in his home while imagining reading them to the press while the whole world watched. This all culminates in the November 22, 1963 shooting of President Kennedy riding in a motorcade that forever changed the nation.
Actors like Martin Sheen and Greg Kinnear have previously taken on the portrayal of John F. Kennedy and with no disrespect towards Lowe's performance, the Kennedy side of this film seems like a walk-through of what we already know. Its purpose is to remind audiences the trials and tribulations the Kennedy family endured while celebrating his accomplishments as president. But it's the story of Lee Harvey Oswald that shows viewers the madness that drove him to kill Kennedy. Rothhaar does a better job conveying a growing sinister monster hell bent on eliminating those he perceived as threats. Without addressing any conspiracy theories, "Killing Kennedy" reinforces the narrative put forth by the Warren Commission and does not bother eluding any other possibilities.
Based on the book "Four Days in November: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy" by attorney and true crime author Vincent Bugliosi, "Parkland" documents the moments and days immediately following the assassination at Dealey Plaza. Abraham Zapruder (Paul Giamatti) is filming the parade on top a pedestal with great excitement but soon turns to shock and trauma as he witnesses Kennedy being hit by an unknown shooter. In a moment of panic, the crowds flee the scene while Zapruder makes his way back to his office when he is approached by Dallas Morning News reporter Harry McCormick, who was acquainted with Agent Forrest Sorrels (Billy Bob Thornton) of the Secret Service's Dallas office. Sorrels demands Zapruder turns over the film for their investigation and later that day have it developed at the nearby Eastman Kodak processing plant. Here, the film is played back but seen through the reflection of Zapruda's glasses as he watches in horror what he had already witnessed.
Meanwhile, once the motorcade reaches Parkland Hospital, nurses and doctors scramble to save Kennedy's life while Jacqueline (Kat Steffens) remains in devastation. Dr. Malcolm O. Perry (Colin Hanks) and Dr. Charles James Carrico (Zac Efron), and Head Nurse Doris Nelson (Marcia Gay Harden) must overcome their disbelief of seeing the president's body arrive and work immediately to revive him. While their efforts were unsuccessful, panic and confusion plays out between the Secret Service, the F.B.I., and local police while trying to identifying and capturing the shooter. Once word gets out in the press over the shooting and the announcement of the President's death, Robert Oswald, Jr. (James Badge Dale) overhears in disbelief on the radio that his brother Lee Harvey was considered the prime suspect in the shooting. Once Lee Harvey Oswald is in custody, he is visited by his brother and mother Marguerite Oswald (Jacki Weaver) who question him about his actions but are given little answers by him.
The following day at Parkland Hospital remains difficult for the staff who have trouble comprehending the events of the previous day. Meanwhile, members of the Secret Service are enraged with each other over their failure to protect the president. In addition, the Dallas F.B.I. office is scrambling to figure out how Oswald, who had been investigated by that office, was not previously pursued aggressively which could have prevented him from carrying out the assassination. Zapruder meets with a writer for Life magazine and expresses his wish that he never filmed the shooting in the first place because of how he anticipates it will change his life. With pressure to sell the rights of the film to the press, Zapruder is worried it would only tarnish the legacy of a dignified man.
On November 24, workers at the Dallas F.B.I. office witness the shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald on live television while he was being escorted by Dallas police. At the same time, Oswald's family is holed up in a hotel room when they learn that Lee had been shot and was taken to Parkland Hospital. The same hospital staff still reeling from Kennedy's death must work to save the suspected shooter who has yet to confess to the assassination to the Secret Service. As Oswald dies on the operating table, his family is notified and shocked by the death of Lee. Robert never doubts his brother's guilt while his mother believes Lee was an agent for the federal government and set up as a patsy for the assassination.
Unlike "Killing Kennedy," this film pays little detail to the lives of both Kennedy and Oswald. While the lives of the two men and the shooting are well detailed in history books, "Parkland" serves to document the other individuals deeply affected by the tragic event. Giamatti in particular gives a terrific performance of a man suffering from such shock while unable to handle the attention brought upon him just because he happened to filming at the right place at the right time. He plays Zapruder as a man who very much respects Kennedy and ashamed that he has become the face behind the graphic footage of the shooting. First-time director Peter Landesman does a great job of creating a "fly-on-the-wall" perspective for the viewer when dramatizing such hectic and chaotic events. Since the assassination has been so well-documented, it's interesting to see it from the perspectives of those who were unwitting witnesses and participants.

Climbing hydrangea is a stunning vine that will stop traffic when its white flowers pop out in early to mid-summer. Propagate climbing hydrangea by taking a softwood cutting in May or June. Although it can take some time, it's a hardy grower once its roots are established. Climbing hydrangea can eventually grow to heights of 60 to 80 feet, so be sure to plant it near a sturdy fence or wall to support the woody vines.
Use a pair of garden clippers or a sharp knife to cut a stem tip from a healthy climbing hydrangea. If the stem snaps crisply when you bend it, then it's at the perfect stage. Be sure the cutting has two or three pairs of leaves, and make the cut just beneath the lowest set.
Fill a planting tray with a mixture of half perlite and half commercial potting soil. Mist the tray with a spray bottle until the soil is damp clear through.
Use the eraser end of a pencil to poke a hole in the potting mixture. Strip the leaves from the lower half of the stem cutting, leaving only two upper leaves.
Dip the end of the cutting in rooting hormone, and plant it carefully in the potting mixture, being careful not to scrape off the rooting hormone. You can plant several cuttings in the planting tray. Plant them close together so they can share the hormones in the soil, but leave just enough distance so they don't touch.
Cut the remaining leaves in half horizontally. Smaller leaves will require less moisture and will take up less room in the planting tray.
Slide the planting tray into a clear plastic bag, and install a few small wooden stakes or a bent wire to keep the plastic from touching the cuttings.
Put the planting tray in a room in your house where the light is low and the temperature is about 70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Check the soil often, and mist it lightly when the top inch is dry to the touch. Watch for the climbing hydrangea cuttings to root in about a month.
Transplant the climbing hydrangea seedlings to individual 4-inch pots, and put the pots where they will get morning sun. If the seedlings get long and leggy, then pinch them back to encourage bushy growth.
Water the seedlings when the top inch of soil is dry, but be careful not to invite root rot by watering excessively. The new climbing hydrangea will be ready to be planted outdoors in the spring, when the weather has warmed.

Gifts of Healings
I want to set the notion of healing within a bigger framework than most of us are used to thinking about it, especially considering the books I have read about healing. When we discuss healing we often think in terms of personal wellbeing. If we are well and feel well, all is well. I want to suggest that healing can be seen operating in three dimensions; personally, relationally and communally. I believe all three can be found in scripture. To focus on a person's health without taking into consideration their context of relationships is to miss the full picture of factors that can affect health and wellbeing.
The nation of Israel was made up of Tribes, clans, families and individuals, within each family. We see this clearly in Josh 7.16-19 with the sin of Achan. The process of identifying who had sinned began with all Israel and was narrowed down by tribes to Judah, then by clans to the Zerathites, then by the families of that clan to the family of Zimri, and then from that family to Achan. Again in Numbers 1.1-4 the Lord told Moses to number the tribes of Israel according to their clans and families, man by man.
Here is my point. We are so used in the West of thinking in terms of personal wellbeing that we seldom think about how whole we are relationally and communally. Personal wholeness is important. Paul writes about this in 1Thess 5.23, May God Himself, the God of peace sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. There are many gifts of healing that enable us to gain or regain this sense of wellbeing. Sometimes it is about emotional healing. Other times it's about physical or spiritual healing. There are times when we can have deliverance from demonization that can impact almost any area of our life. But all these gifts of healing help to restore the individual. I believe there are other gifts of healing that we seldom place in this category because we are not used to recognising them. They help us get well relationally and communally.
Gen 2 gives the first mention in the creation account when God says, 'it's not good'. I am of course referring to His comment about Adam, 'It's not good for man to be alone'. We are, like God Himself, relational beings. We need others. Any sense of wholeness that we seek must include these dimensions and gifts of healings exist for us to do this. Think of all the families, clans and tribes that exist in the world and how many of them are either at war or in conflict of some kind. Healing is needed. In Matt 18.15 Jesus outlines the way to restore broken relationships where an offense has separated two believers. Key elements are present, loving confrontation, an opportunity to repent and receive forgiveness. And this process is to be repeated, increasing the circle of witnesses so that others in the community can help bring healing to the rift through their impartial judgment.
Only two ultimate outcomes are envisaged by Jesus; reconciliation that leads to restored fellowship or excommunication. If restoration takes place the relationship is healed. Great. Life can go on. If it doesn't, the unrepentant brother is to be treated as a 'tax collector or sinner', an outsider who needs to be won all over again. It isn't just about two people now; it's a community affair. Everyone feels the pain of seperation. Imagine how much unnecessary church hopping could be stopped if we took this passage seriously. The body of Christ would be a lot healthier. Relationships would be more solid, more grounded, dare I say it, more real!
But Jesus doesn't leave this teaching there. In answer to Peter's question about forgiveness He tells the parable of the two debtors. This is of course the foundation to all healing, repentance, forgiving and being forgiven. What is instructive is how God the Father deals with those who refuse to extend to others the forgiveness they have received from Him. They are said to be handed over to the torturers, until they can pay the debt, Matt 18.34-35. The picture is graphic. God allows us to be tormented until we choose to forgive. This is not a picture of wholeness. Notice that unforgiveness is always relational. To withhold forgiveness from those who ask for it is a supreme act of pride. We, in effect, place ourselves higher than God in our judgement of others. This is why it leads to torment.
James has some sound advice for us, depending on what season of life we are experiencing, James 5.14-16. The man who is happy should sing Psalms. The person who is suffering should pray. The one who is sick should call for the elders who will lay hands on them, anoint them and pray for their recovery. James sees this as an opportunity to get real with each other over sin too, by confessing our faults to each other. Notice that in order to receive forgiveness we confess our sin to God but in order to receive healing we confess to one another; confess your faults to one another and pray for one another that you may be healed. Like Jesus in Matt 18, James sets healing of sickness in the context of healthy relationships that have open accountability, humility and the giving and receiving of forgiveness.
Imagine if whole communities dared to function at this level. And this is the challenge to the church. We are a micro-cosm of the communities we live in. So we are to model to them what this should look like. The most powerful testimony for reconciliation in the Middle East are congregations made up of Jews and Arabs who both love Jesus and have found forgiveness in Him. Remaining ethnically separated is not a mature expression of the church, though it may be politically expedient. In such a context to come together is to invite criticism from both camps that look on. I know congregations that do this. They risk a lot. They are persecuted. But they also model the healing power of the gospel. It speaks volumes.
Long before Wilberforce changed the legal and political landscape of Britain over the issue of slavery, he was part of a community that accepted and valued slaves and did all they could to secure their freedom, educate them and give them dignity as people. He lived it in community first and battled it through in parliament later. Changing legislation is ineffective unless someone models the value of the change.
I was involved with David Alton in the late 80's in trying to change legislation in the UK over the issue of abortion. He brought a private members bill seeking to reduce the number of weeks terminations could legally take place. It failed. Instead of giving up I know many who got involved in counselling pregnant women, pre and post abortion. In an atmosphere of non-judgmental acceptance, many made a different choice as they were informed of alternatives to abortion. And those who did go ahead often felt deep regret and pain and sought forgiveness and healing. So despite the failure in legislation the church is still seeing many healed. It is making a difference.
All of this is to say that 'gifts of healings' are broader and more numerous than we often imagine. To reconcile two people is to be a peacemaker and requires a gift of healing. To reconcile communities torn apart through war requires great wisdom and a gift of healing. To heal a broken heart requires the flow of the gift of healing. To see bodies healed of such destructive diseases like cancer and AIDS requires the gift of healing.
Sickness is all around us. It has pervaded our fallen world. Let's determine that we will be agents of healing, health and wholeness, co-operating with the Holy Spirit to bring about restoration of spirit, soul and body and reconciliation of families, clans and tribes.

It's August! I know it's not the usual time for fresh starts, but I'm making one.
As you can tell from the title, it has to do with my "Big Project." For those who are new, I'll give some background on the "Big Project." And why it's called that rather than with a proper title. The "Big Project" is a fanfic that I'm preparing to self-publish as a novel. I'm not yet ready to reveal which one it is so I use the codename instead. Last year, around this time, I had decided to devote a half hour every day to working on it and it proved quite fruitful.
So what happened? Well, for starters, the holidays happened. I focused on NaNoWriMo, my submission for the Outlaw Queen Advent Calendar and my gift for my Once Upon a Time Secret Santa. Then I got a cold for New Year's. (No, seriously, the ball dropped and then my nose clogged up. It was torture!) By the time I got over that, my grandmother passed. So January was pretty much shot.
I thought I would start over in February, but then I decided to participate in a Valentine's Day exchange and had a few other projects to finish. So I kept pushing the Big Project back more and more. Especially once my hours got shifted at work and I no longer had the same amount of time at night like I used to. So I was focusing more on my other fanfictions.
Which brings me to a conundrum. I know if I want to focus on the "Big Project," one of my fanfics will have to get sidelined. And I don't really want to do that. They are mostly popular and I like to keep to my posting schedules. However, I know one of them is going to have to suffer. I guess I just have to choose which one.
This is going to be hard.
*Insert long sigh here*

"Clothes make the man" is an old Latin Proverb; later Twain gave it a shot with "If clothes make the man, does that mean naked people have little or no influence on society? " and most recent the song "The Clothes Don't Make the Man" by Keith Anderson all make for a word picture about changes in the realm of social justice.
Then does this mean that the well tailored cons and hustlers who climbed to the top of many biz and social ladders are examples of our inability to adapt to our own beliefs....like are we retaining archaic info that usurps new knowledge?
As is the gender....When did women become the major consumers of "dress?"

Her First Love… Juno Baby
{ disclosure : attended Juno Baby's VIP BlogHer Brunch at FAO Schwarz }
When I was invited to attend the Juno Baby BlogHer brunch I was eager to bring the toddler mostly because it was at FAO Schwartz and if she had no interest in Juno Baby at least it was some much needed Mommy and Me time after I had been holed up in school for the past 9 weeks. I was not prepared for what ensued. First of all, I've tweeted and mentioned on countless occasions my daughter's intense fear of characters come to life. We've missed some opportunities that most toddlers would die for like a Meet and Greet with the Yo Gabba Gabba crew and Thomas the Train. Of course as we walked into the party room, we were greeted by a GIANT Juno Baby. My mind was darting like a moving target, taking a quick survey of the scene, I was trying to mentally calculate the room size and strategically trying to figure out how to maneuver the toddler away from the GIANT Juno Baby without her causing too much of a scene with her expected intense fearful meltdown. She completely caught me off guard when she pointed at Juno and asked, "Who is that?!" There wasn't one ounce of fear in her, instead it was replaced with curiosity. With one eyebrow raised and on guard, I calmly said, "That's Juno Baby. This is her party…" Still ever so cautious, I made sure not to engage Juno and stood as a barrier between Juno and the toddler. Oddly enough that made her even more curious! As I filled our plate with delicious breakfast treats, she peered from behind me to look at Juno, darting away, peeking and darting, peeking and darting. She was mesmerized.
As if there was a step by step playbook, she went from darting to standing in front of her, to touching her ever so slightly… always returning to my side with each advancement until finally she was flat out HUGGING Juno none stop! It was so flabbergasting I had to take photos and videos and message my husband. It was sheer insanity to me! My toddler didn't have a meltdown! This is a little girl who started shrieking at the sight of Elmo and dug her nails into my husband's neck, made my skin bleed as she clung to me for dear life when Clifford the Big Red Dog came to say Hi! with her legs wrapped around my waist, weeping and trembling in fear. SHOCKED!
I still feel a slight pang of regret when thinking about all those wasted piano lessons in my youth and while I can appreciate classical music, you won't find it on my radio's presets. Now and then I come across a piano and I tap the usual chopsticks and if I happen to find a sheet of music, I'll even play a broken form of it as I recall the notes in my head for nostalgia. If all things that goes around must come around, I guess this is where my parent's investment in years of piano lessons pays off as I happily introduced my daughter to Juno Baby. The irony is that I thought the toddler would have no interest in Juno Baby and was thinking rather of the infant's interests, already nodding off the toddler as a lost cause as her current musical palette includes Jay Sean's Down on repeat … Train's Hey Soul Sister… and Eminem's latest releases – gasp! Now I wouldn't exactly call it sophisticated music taste but I also couldn't believe I was mourning the days she danced and sung to Barney… What happened to those days?
These are one of those reflecting moments which reminds me why I love my daughter so much and why I feel so lucky to be her mom. While she had no interest in the speech — sorry Belinda and Barrett! — her eyes were glued to the teaser for Juno Junior and she reminded me what a unique and amazing kid she is. She fits no stereotype, she's one of a kind — Just like Juno Baby! As Barrett and Belinda talked about Juno Baby and how it came to life, I couldn't help agreeing with them about the quality of music available to kids these days, mostly synthesized, and how kids have these amazing capacity to absorb and appreciate a wider variety of music similar to language acquisition. The music is all original composition by founder Dr. Belinda Takahashi and is performed by live orchestral musicians. While my daughter's new obsession with Juno Baby helped, I left a believer and couldn't wait to get home and play it for the infant.
Still on guard, thinking this was a complete FLUKE. I figured her fascination with Juno Baby would be short lived and still my mind was focused on developing the infant's musical palette. Instead the toddler and I have watch Juno Baby every night and sometimes several times a night. Much to my surprise, I actually had a Juno Baby DVD at home already and luckily it was a different DVD, so we have 2 Juno Baby DVDs in our repertory. Not to leave the infant out, she sits and talks the infant through each episode and sleeps every night with her Juno plush. The infant squeals with delight every time his big sister is around, anything she loves, he loves too. We now are anxiously awaiting the debut of Juno Junior, adding to our growing collection!
Become a fan of Juno Baby on Facebook and check out the toddler in practically every shot with Juno here. For every Juno Baby product purchased they donate one music education DVD to a child in need — how awesome in that! To all my mommy friends, expect lots of Juno Baby gifts as they have just been added to my list of Gifts of Choice.

This morning I drove to Hidden Lake, IN, just over the Ohio line. This is only about 45 minutes from home. I got the previously reported Red-necked Grebe near the dam. I first tired by the beach and thought I saw the bird with its head tucked at a distance near the dam. I went to the parking area above the dam near the community center and started walked down the path. As I neared the bottom by the dam, the Red-necked Grebe started swimming out into the middle of the lake following a Pied-billed Grebe. The light was dim, too cloudy to try for pictures.
On my way back from hidden Lake I checked out the local camp ground lake on State Line Road for waterfowl. There had been a scoter reported there, but the lake was empty. I also stopped at Lost Bridge again but there were no waterfowl except Canada Geese.
I decided that I had enough time to try for Northern Shrike. In 2011, I tried for Northern Shrike across the state of Ohio about 15 times during the period January through March, and never found one until very late in the year, November/December, near Ottawa NWR in northwest Ohio. A Northern Shrike has been reported at Delaware WA north of Columbus about 1-2 hours away. Time to get there with enough light. This location has been reported as a very reliable location, perhaps the most reliable in the experience of very good birders. I got there with plenty of light to spare and found the very cooperative Northern Shrike and enjoyed it from abut 3:30 to 4:30 pm at a reasonable distance and with telescope views. No photos. Not enough light.
At the end of the day, the total is 77, with two new winter rarities or potentially difficult birds to obtain.

"These new cell sites represent our ongoing commitment to invest in our network in Iowa," said Nancy B. Clark, presidentGreat Plains Region, Verizon Wireless. "We continue to improve our network to meet the growing needs of our customers and to provide them with the reliable, high-quality service they expect from Verizon Wireless."

Mobile has the unique capabilities to deliver the right ad to the right person in the right place/context.
But it's a new pilot in the U.S. — bringing together Coca-Cola and pretzel seller Auntie Anne's — that will go one step further to show how brands can close the loop by using mobile to trigger real-world purchases and track the results all the way down to the item level.
This pilot — which concludes this week —is built from the ground up to provide brands (in this case Coke and Auntie Anne's) data that tells them which ads were viewed and which ones led to an actual redemption.

The Story of Thieves Essential Oil
I found this historical information very interesting and thought you would too. We no longer carry or distribute YL essential oils because our personal calling and devotion is to the Bride of Christ and preparing her for the Messiah's return. The Lord has placed it on my heart to prepare the bride as today's priesthood and the importance of using the oils for anointing and healing. They must be pure and not profaned (treated common). We didn't want our message or mission with Heal With Oil to be compromised with a MLM business and confuse folks with the mixture of religions. YL is a pioneer organization of the aromatherapy movement in the United States and for that I am grateful, but because they purpose is to sell to anyone/everyone whether they are wiccan, pagan, Mormon, Christian, etc. promoting new age ideas, we feel it necessary to find essential oils that are of the same therapeutic grade quality on our own, without the association of another beliefs. We believe essential oils work to heal the body but feel the calling of the healing arts must be returned to priesthood and all glory given to the Creator, who is the God that heals. We don't worship the creation, but the creator of Heaven and Earth, Yahweh.

Spirit & Life Devotional
Wednesday, December 10
Chinaemerem Joshua Ibezim
Psalms 35:27 NKJV "Let them shout for joy and be glad, Who favor my
righteous cause; And let them say continually, "Let the Lord be
magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant."
There's a debate about if God wants us to prosper or whether Christians
should be prosperous in this world; but God has pleasure in the
prosperity of His servants. Hallelujah! 3 John 1:2 says, "Beloved, I
pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your
soul prospers." Amen!
But God doesn't want us chasing prosperity
as the unbelievers do, neither does He want us cheating or stealing from
others for whatever reason, instead He wants to bless us with
prosperity. Jesus taught us to seek first the kingdom of God. If we do,
God will bless us with prosperity. That's what Solomon did, when God
asked him for what he wanted, he put the kingdom first. And God was
I Kings 3:10-13 says, "The speech pleased the Lord, that
Solomon had asked this thing. Then God said to him: "Because you have
asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have
asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but
have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice, behold, I have
done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and
understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before
you, nor shall any like you arise after you. And I have also given you
what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not
be anyone like you among the kings all your days." Wow!

Alan Pardew had commented yesterday that the news that Joey Barton and Jose Enrique were not fully committed to Newcastle was just absolute rubbish.
Jose Enrique – desperate to play today
We hadn't seen those reports on the internet, but there's little doubt that these two players are consummate professionals, and of course Joey will be a key man for Newcastle this afternoon against Wolves.
This is how Alan Pardew reacted yesterday to those reports about the players not being fully committed:
"I have no doubts about their attitudes. I do not think there is any question about their commitment to the cause."
And as we had expected, Jose is desperate to play this afternoon, and just to show how committed he is right now to Newcastle, Jose has brought over his own personal trainer from Portugal, to help him with his fitness.
The trainer seems to have worked well with the Newcatsle medical staff over the last week or so, and Jose is very keen to pass his fitness test today.
Alan talked about Jose Enrique today:
"José has come to see me and is desperate to play against Wolves, but is also desperate to ensure the setback at Stoke does not happen again. That change at Stoke when he had to go off possibly cost us the first goal."
"It is a very tough call and I have to make sure I call it right because there are still seven games after this one. He is either fit to play and he plays, or I leave him out."
"He has been receiving treatment here although he has a very trusted trainer with him who he has used a lot in the past." "He has joined our medical team to make sure we have touched all the bases."
"The medical work he has done is very good and he has had some great advice. I cannot stress enough how committed he is. Joey will definitely play against Wolves and José is 50-50 but desperate to play.
It would appear that Jose could even make the game this afternoon, but Alan Pardew has to make sure he can play the full game, and will not come off again after 20 minutes or so, as happened at Stoke.
And a rest today would make Jose a cast iron certainty for the important game next Saturday at Villa Park, and have him available for the rest of the season too.
If there's any doubt at all this morning, when Jose gets his fitness test, then Newcastle should give Enrique a rest today, and play young Shane Ferguson from the start.
Shane will not let Newcastle down, that's for sure.
Comments welcome.

barton is a very good player – but he has his devils and I would not describe remotely describe him as a consumate professional. when he was sent to jail after a second offence while on bail I said he should have been instantly sacked by a great club like NUFC. But he was given a second chance and appears to be taking it and is controlling those devils – but the last time we played wolves he was a marked man and may be again.
But despite us standing by him he has not signed a new contract – so good player or not I'm not impressed with him as a person – a bit of loyalty would help!
Have to agree with sav as I have heard it he is taking about a £mil drop in wages to translate that into a three year deal, I think that is excellent attitude towards the club.
The way he has played the last two seasons he could prob have sat tight a got a club come in for him with the same level of wage he is on now so to me the drop in wage show to me he has some level of loyalty and desire for the club.

The UTSA Roadrunners go on the road to take the field with the Old Dominion Monarchs.
The Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners were given little chance of upsetting Arizona State as a 22 point home dog but ASU needed a 17-0 4th quarter to win 32-28. Arizona State held a 469-322 edge in real estate but lost the turnover battle 3-0. The problem for UTSA was no balance with the majority of their production coming through the air. Roadrunners quarterback Dalton Sturm kept his team in the game with some dual threat action. Sturm ran for 82 yards on 15 carries including a 34 yard scoring run while throwing for 229 yards and three touchdowns on 19-37 with receiver of choice Jarveon Williams catching five passes for 81 yards.
The Old Dominion Monarchs dropped to 1-2 in the early going thanks to a 49-22 defeat at North Carolina State as a 24 point road dog. The pass heavy Wolfpack rolled up a 470-321 edge in yards with ODU managing 15 first downs. The Monarchs needed a huge day on the ground to keep the NC State offense off the field but Jeremy Cox with 91 yards and a touchdown was the only runner of significance. Old Dominion quarterback David Washington had some success in the air, completing 16-26 for 200 yards and a pair of scores with Zach Pascal recording eight receptions for 104 yards and both touchdowns..
The Roadrunners are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 road games and are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games after accumulating less than 100 yards rushing in their previous game while the under is 5-1 in Roadrunners last 6 games following a ATS win. The Monarchs are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 home games and the over is 4-0-1 in Monarchs last 5 games following a ATS loss while the Monarchs are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games after allowing more than 280 yards passing in their previous game. I think the key here is Sturm getting some help…

Dancers, costumes… Samba!
On Sept 15th, after nearly five decades, the fabled Brazilian Carnival Ball gave a final bow as it launched its 46th annual (and final) celebration at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Over the years, the ball – known as one of the largest and most spectacular Brazilian galas in the world, aimed to raise funds for a variety of causes (such as health care, research, culture and education) in Toronto and Brazil. The day was momentous and the entertainment was fitting for a grand finale.
This year, the event's efforts went to support the de Souza Institute Foundation and the Canadian Association of Psychosocial Oncology (CAPO) – proceeds benefiting cancer care in Ontario. The night raised approximately $500,000.
Guests were treated to presentations from distinct guests including Ivan de Souza, President & CEO of the Brazilian Carnival Ball. de Souza recounted his greatest memories about the ball and emotionally spoke of his late wife, Anna Maria de Souza, founder of the event who fought a nine-month battle with cancer. The night was an appropriate tribute to her legacy.
This had to have been one of the most memorable events I've ever attended. Dancers from the Rio de Janeiro Carnival were flown in for the night – each decorated in incredibly ornate costumes. The sound of samba filled the room and the smiles and laughs were endless.
Dress code was black tie or costume. Lucky me – I got to 'tux' it up for the night. Lightheartedly, the thought did cross my mind to show up in a fun Halloween costume. I really should have as the winners for 'best costumes' wore extravagant outfits that included the 'Mad Hatter' from Alice in Wonderland…
Those in attendance enjoyed cocktails, appetizers and a delicious 3-course meal. A live auction took place and an entertaining set was played by the Via Brazil Band. The dancers were stunning and even invited party-goers to samba and salsa with them on the dance floor.
It's hard to believe this was the very last Brazilian Carnival Ball. I feel really fortunate as this is the first time I ever got to attend it. Although the event might be over, the legacy and cause that Anna Maria de Souza created for the ball will forever be pursued.
Congratulations to the supporters, honoured guests and planners. Your final curtain call deserves a standing ovation.
About the Ball
The Ball began in 1966 when Anna Maria de Souza missed the excitement, music and magnificent splendor of her homeland Carnival and decided to bring the tradition of the famous Carnival held in Rio de Janeiro to Toronto. The hot Brazilian music, new to Toronto, had everyone on the dance floor all night long and the event became an instant success.
In 1973, Variety Village became the first recipient of the Brazilian Carnival Ball in Canada. In recent years, other beneficiaries have included the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto East General Hospital, The SickKids Foundation, The Princess Margaret Hospital and the Campbell Family Research Institute, The Arthritis & Autoimmunity Research Centre Foundation, Toronto General Hospital, Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Sciences, Mount Sinai Hospital, St. Michael's Hospital, University of Toronto and York University.
For the past 20 years, the Brazilian Carnival Ball has been held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Mesmerizing Carnival dancers entertain the crowd with their dancing and dazzling feathered, beaded and sequined costumes. Luis de Castro, the Ball's Director of Décor, is responsible for this year's elaborate design and interpretation of Rio de Janeiro.
About the 2012 Beneficiary
The 2012 Brazilian Carnival Ball proceeds will benefit de Souza Institute Foundation and the Canadian Association of Psychosocial Oncology (CAPO).
de Souza Institute was established in 2008 and named in honour of the late Anna Maria de Souza in partnership with Princess Margaret Hospital, University Health Network and Cancer Care Ontario. The Institute was created as an innovative centre of learning dedicated to improving cancer care by supporting excellence in oncology nursing. The mission of de Souza Institute is to provide Ontario patients and families with the best cancer care in the world by focusing on developing highly trained, specialized cancer nurses utilizing the latest evidence and approaches to cancer care. de Souza Institute Foundation will raise funds to support de Souza Institute efforts in improving the cancer experience for patients and families.
The Canadian Association of Psychosocial Oncology (CAPO) promotes excellence in psychosocial care for people with cancer and their families throughout the cancer experience – from diagnosis to treatment to survivorship or death. While the physical symptoms of cancer are addressed with medical treatment, the emotional impact of the disease is often overlooked. Psychosocial oncology is a specialty in cancer care that is concerned with the whole person, including the social, psychological, emotional and spiritual aspects of cancer through the entire cancer journey. CAPO works to transform cancer care wherever it is delivered – in hospital, in the community and in hospices. CAPO is a recognized international leader in the development of standards and guidelines for supportive quality of life care.
