In 1915, Saint Ambrose Catholic Church was established in a red brick church on lower Payne Avenue on St. Paul's East side. The parish was in Railroad Island, a neighborhood consisting of many Italian immigrant families. In 1954, Father Thomas Pingatore was selected as pastor of Saint Ambrose, overseeing a vibrant parish rich in Italian traditions and dedicated to maintaining strong families. The parish moved to a new stone church on the corner of Burr Street and Minnehaha Avenue in 1957 and thrived until the 1980's, when a large number of parishioners and children of parishioners moved from the area, many to St. Paul's eastern suburbs.
Meanwhile, Woodbury, on the southeastern side of St. Paul, was experiencing phenomenal growth. The need for a new parish in the St. Croix valley was imminent. There was also a strong desire for a Catholic school, as evidenced by a 1998 survey finding that 400 to 600 students would eagerly attend such a school in Woodbury - Minnesota's fastest growing city.
The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis responded to the needs of the community, incorporating a suggestion from Father Pingatore: That Saint Ambrose Catholic Church lend its name and assets to a new Catholic church, school and Early Childhood Education Center, founded to serve the greater Woodbury area. Monsignor Richard E. Pates was named as pastor, and the new Saint Ambrose of Woodbury Catholic Community was established in March 1998, with Father Pingatore serving as pastor emeritus. Completed in fall 2000, Saint Ambrose of Woodbury is the first church in the archdiocese to open with a school in more than 30 years, resuming the tradition of linking catholic education with a parish. In December 2000, Pope John Paul II honored Monsignor Pates by naming him Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
Feast Day: December 7
Patron saint of learning, school children, students, beekeepers, candle makers, bees and domestic animals
St. Ambrose was born around the year 340 in Trier, Germany. In the year 374, at the age of 34, he was baptized and consecrated as bishop of Milan, Italy, giving away his wealth to the church and to the poor as an example to others. Though he came from a career in politics as a popular governor of the area, he took very seriously his election to the role of bishop. St. Ambrose studied scripture and religious writers and lived very simply, devoting himself to the service of his flock.
St. Ambrose was also a teacher, well-known Bible student and writer of liturgical hymns. His designation as patron saint of learning, school children and students is especially appropriate with our parish community's commitment to education. He was also known as the "Honey-Tongued Doctor" because of his speaking and preaching ability - "smooth as honey" - which led to his designation as patron saint of beekeepers and bees.
St. Ambrose was also instrumental in converting his friend St. Augustine to Catholicism. Stained-glass windows of the two saints from the original St. Ambrose Church in St. Paul are now here above the Baptismal Font and to the rear of the Sanctuary.
Saint Ambrose Catholic Church sits on a beautiful 80-acre parcel of land on the southeast corner of Woodbury Drive and Bailey Road. The land has a rich agricultural heritage, beginning with its first owner, Scotland native Alexander McHattie, who purchased the parcel and 80 surrounding acres from the U.S. government. McHattie and his son, George grew wheat on the land until 1914 when it was sold to George and Catherine Raths. They raised dairy cattle on the land, as did Harry and Alice Leonard, who purchased the land in 1941.
In 1944, a hardworking Cottage Grove dairy farmer and his wife, David and Katherine Oehlke, bought the land. Their son, Glen and his wife, Inez married in 1947 and moved to the farm to help raise dairy cattle. In 1999, Saint Ambrose of Woodbury purchased 80 acres of the Oehlkes' farmland for its parish campus. The parish community will be forever mindful that the Oehlkes made it possible for Saint Ambrose of Woodbury to serve as a beacon of our community's witness of the gospel of Jesus Christ to one another, as well as to the greater community of Woodbury.
The church's two entrances lead to Oehlke Commons, named for Glen and Inez Oehlke, the neighboring family who farmed the land for decades. In the center of this large room is the offering table at which the Mass offerings, bread and wine are assembled.
The Saint Ambrose parish values of Worship, Education and Outreach, the main components of our mission statement, are featured prominently with scriptures chosen by parishioners on a wall in the Commons. Worship is represented by a quote from Matthew 18:20, which reads, "Whenever two or more of you come together in my name, I am there with you." Expressing the parish community's commitment to Education is the quote, "Instruct children in the way they should go, and when they grown old they will not leave it," from Proverbs 22:6. And the value of Outreach is expressed in a quote from Matthew 25:40, "Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers and sisters you do unto me."
On the wall opposite the sanctuary doors is the Catafalque - a place of honor for deceased parishioners. The Catafalque is on the central axis of the church, on which the Baptismal Font, the Altar and the Sculpture of the Dying and Rising Christ are also aligned. On the wall behind the Catafalque is a quote from Isaiah 43:1, "Fear not, for I have redeemed you: I have summoned you by name; your are mine....
Near the west entry of the Commons is the Pingatore Room, named for Father Thomas Pingatore, who served the original St. Ambrose parish in St. Paul for more than 50 years. The room is reserved as a quiet space for meetings and conferences, the preparation of bridal parties and a gathering place for the bereaved before funerals.
The Sanctuary is designed as an octagon, symbolizing redemption, for the resurrection is regarded as the concluding, triumphant, eighth day of creation. Designed to seat 1,500 people, with no individual more than 57 feet from the Altar, the Sanctuary promotes a feeling of participation. The vaulted ceiling of the Sanctuary, covered with special acoustical fabric, is a bright blue to symbolize the heavens, and the lower ceiling is a shade of dark crimson.
The Sanctuary design is based on two axes. The central axis follows the path of life and begins in the Commons with the Catafalque, aligning with the Baptismal Font, processional aisle and Altar, and culminating with the Sculpture of the Dying and Rising Christ backed by the stained-glass Rose Window of the Holy Spirit. A secondary axis crosses the central axis at the Altar, anchored at one end by the Blessed Sacrament Chapel and opposite by the Mary Chapel.
The stained-glass Sanctuary Doors represent fire and water - yellow and blue. The central column of yellow fire is an Old Testament guide that moves us to the Lord and his truth, and the blue waters of the New Testament recall baptism in the Holy Spirit.
Placed at the entry of the Sanctuary, the Baptismal Font is a reminder that baptism stands at the beginning of our new life in Christ. The font is hewn from Canadian granite and, like the church building has eight sides. A portion of the font's stone is unfinished, representing the nature of man as work in progress through the sacraments. Blessed water flows from this rock. The font calls to mind God's gift to Moses in the Old Testament of water from Living rock. Parishioners use this water to bless themselves upon entering and leaving the church, recalling their own baptism.
West of the Baptismal Font, at the beginning of the Ambulatory, is the Reconciliation room, in which penitents are reconciled to God by confessing their sins to Him. The room is aligned with the Baptismal Font, since Reconciliation restores oneself to the life of baptism. The blue glass on the door once again call to mind the soothing effect of water and give a placid feeling to the room. The handle on the door is a rose, the beauty of which is never far from the thorn, reflecting the duality of our human nature and St. Ambrose's legend that the rose grew, without thorns, in the Garden of Eden. After the fall of Adam and Eve, the rose became an earthly plant and the thorns appeared as a reminder of man's sins and fall from grace.
The Altar is made from oak with bands of the granite used elsewhere in the church. It has eight sides to convey the importance of the resurrection symbolism prevalent throughout the church, and that we gather around the Altar to celebrate the Pascal Mystery.The Ambo (pulpit) matches the design of the Altar, and its size emphasizes the importance of the Holy Word. The central position of the Altar - midpoint in the entire church - in relation to the Ambo, behind and off to one side of the Altar, stresses the preeminence of the Eucharistic celebration and stands as the central symbol of the worshipping community.
Above the central axis of the Sanctuary, high on the ceiling, are 24 stained-glass windows. The wing-like elements represent celestial beings, reminiscent of the protective angels that adorn European cathedrals and of the Communion of Saints of our beloved who have gone before us and now share in the heavenly host of the eternal liturgy. The broken circles remind us that angels and saints, like us, are imperfect beings. Each window has a single star symbolizing the infinity of space. The U-shaped diamond frame is a gesture of prayer -praise and adoration - "reaching up" to God. These windows are designed to produce light - play downward toward the congregation when the sun is high.
The Trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is represented together by the Hebrew letters on the ceiling, the statue of Christ and the stained-glass Rose window.
This stained-glass masterpiece represents the Holy Spirit, in this instance in the upper room at Pentecost as told in Acts 2:1-4. In the upper portion are four gusts of wind - the energy of the Spirit - that fill the earth from four directions. Circles with glowing centers denote the disciples who, having received the Spirit, are called to penetrate the surrounding world with this energy, the divine life. The Rose Window, as well as all of the commissioned stained glass in the church, was designed and produced by Michael F. Pilla of St. Paul.
This seven-foot bronze sculpture, titles "That We May Live," represents the Paschal Mystery, the central truth of our Christian faith: the redemptive power of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The patron of our parish, St. Ambrose, was a tireless defender of the divinity of Christ; this dramatic work of art also reminds us of the unique reality of His dying and rising as confirmation of His divinity. The base of the sculpture is in part rough granite, calling to mind Golgotha, and this is where the processional cross is placed during liturgy. This rugged granite ties the promise of Christ's redemption to the promise of baptism as seen in the rough granite of the font. The Sculpture of the Dying and Rising Christ was designed and executed by Robert Nicpon of St. Paul.
Completing the artistic representation of the Trinity is the ancient Revelation of the Father to Moses on Mount Sinai, meaning "I am" in Hebrew, represented in gold letters on the ceiling.
Directly underneath the Rose Window is the Choir, seating more than 50 vocalists and musicians. The choir was designed to blend into the community of worshipers, with its location primarily participatory and secondarily performing.
The Blessed Sacrament Chapel is on the secondary axis to the left of the Altar in the Ambulatory. The Holy Presence of the Eucharist, signified by the sanctuary lamp outside, is reserved inside in the Tabernacle for distribution to the sick, confined and dying and also for prayer and adoration. The Tabernacle, conceived by Liturgical Consultant Carol Frenning and executed by Henry Linder and Michael F. Pilla, is a stylized model of the Basilica of the Holy Apostles of Milan, the church dedicated by St. Ambrose, our parish's namesake.
The chapel's transom windows recall the celestial beings of the Clerestory Windows, a symbol that the Eucharist as a sacrament brings the supernatural to our human level. The handles on the chapel doors are fashioned in the shape of grapes and wheat, from which the Eucharist is consecrated. Inscribed on the wall of the chapel is a quote from Mother Teresa of Calcutta: "Shine through me that every soul I come in contact with may feel thy presence."

A glimpse of MONA
20 February 13
Hobart's Museum of Old and New Art is responsible for Hobart ending up on Lonely Planet's hottest destinations for 2013, and the man behind Australia's largest museum is David Walsh — a card-counting gambler who decided to show off his private art collection in a big way. On our last day in Tasmania, we decided to have a peek at the wonders of MONA.
Today we had to re-enter the world of time schedules, so I'm watching the clock from early in the morning. I know what time we need to leave Hobart in order to make our ferry in the north of the island, and early on I decide to just let the girls leisurely explore the grounds without trying to drag them past the inside exhibits in a hurry.
And that was our short introduction to MONA! We drove back north, picked up our friend Nirmala and continued onto the ferry. A surprise for us was when our travelling friends the Lethbridges pulled in behind us at the dock. Aisha and Lily enjoyed a terrific time playing together on the boat, and this was the highlight of the day for her!
Farewell, Tassie. You have been so good to us. We look forward to exploring you again in the future!

Applying a light color to the inner corners of the eyes brightens the face. It also widens and separates the eyes by creating the illusion that they are further apart. I like using pearl white, silver, or gold. The color I choose depends on other colors I used on my eye. The only rule is to pair it with darker shades on the lid, as it has to be the lightest shade on your eye.
After finishing your eyeshadow and liner, apply a highlighting eyeshadow, eyeliner, or shadow stick in a light shade using a dome-shaped shadow brush or fingers. Make sure to do this before applying mascara. Swirl the brush or pat your index finger in the highlighting shadow then with eyes closed, press it directly on top of your inner corners (the width of your finger/brush will automatically cover both the top + bottom part of your lids directly to the sides of your nose). If you're using an eyeliner or shadow stick, cover the same areas as listed above, just make sure to go back with your finger and blend. Such a little thing to do that does so much!

Possible Worlds 2012 Canadian Film Festival Line-up Announced
Possible Worlds (who inspired my Canadian film month with their Top 100 Canadian Films list) have just announced the film line-up for Australia's 7th Canadian Film Festival.

Selected titles will also screen at the University of Wollongong and the ARC cinema in Canberra. More details after the jump!
I am really enjoying Canadian cinema at the moment, and am excited to get the opportunity to see such a great bunch of films on the big-screen in Sydney. I hope to be able to see and review half a dozen of the films in the line-up.
Opening night will kick off with the Australian première of the smash hit comedy Starbuck, about a Montreal slacker who learns that, thanks to a prolific bout of sperm donation twenty years earlier, he's fathered 533 children.
The Festival will close with the Sydney premiere of War Witch, a powerful drama about African child soldiers which recently won the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival and Best Film at the Tribeca Film Festival.
Other highlights include a personal favourite of mine, Oscar-nominated drama Monsieur Lazhar (a 5 star film that has to be seen), award winning Quebec indie Nuit #1, and the Australian première of Ora, a 3D dance film shot using thermal imaging technology.
Audiences will have the rare opportunity to vote for the Audience Award for Best Film and meet prestigious Canadian filmmakers visiting Australia for the festival. The inaugural Jury Award for Best Film will be chosen by the Official Competition jury, comprised this year of Canadian producer David Fedirchuk, American programmer Eddie Cockrell and Australian critic Alice Tynan.

Dear Governors,
|Masami Shigeta
We have goals that we need to achieve in a professional way. We need to work together to build up an influential organization that can give the opportunity to educate children more about music. We need to encourage them to learn how to play musical instruments. If they can play very well, they can play everywhere. This will give them a bright career path and personal growth development. Music is very important for kids to grow up. I believe that good music has absolutely positive impact in building up a good human being.
I feel that my duty as the Chairperson is that FACP will become the influential body in Asian countries. We are an organization which can give political influence to governments about culture policy making around Asia. FACP is the only association in Asia for this cultural socket. Based on our knowledge and experiences, we want to try to influence the government to increase their budget in education, music, and cultural activities.
Performing arts, including music, has now become a cultural business. The key factor to success is making collaborations and giving contributions to the community.
Let us continue to work together to achieve our goals of cultural promotion. I look forward to seeing all of you in the next Annual Conference.
All the best,
Masami Shigeta
FACP Chairperson

World War Z Author Max Brooks and The Walking Dead's Sarah Wayne Callies Joins Interstices Panel April 6, 2017
October 26, 2016
Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences is excited to announce bestselling author Max Brooks (World War Z) as part of Interstices 2017 – Surviving the End of the World on Thursday, April 6 and The Walking Dead's Sarah Wayne Callies!
In a discussion about realities, myths, and stories of disaster and apocalypse, Brooks and Callies will join panelists Ann Gordon (Political Science Professor, Responses to Disasters
and Terrorism Chapman Survey of American Fears), Jeffery Bratberg (Pharm. D., BCPS, University of Rhode Island) and Javier Moscoso (Ph.D., Institute of History, Spanish National Research Council, Spain). The event will take place in Memorial Hall at 7 p.m.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Brooks is credited with helping propel zombie-lore from niche sub-culture fascination to mainstream pop-culture obsession. While Brooks has published three massively successful zombie-themed books—The Zombie Survival Guide, World War Z, and The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks (all of which are now considered the definitive tomes for the genre)—his ultimate goal was to challenge old ways of thinking and encourage mental agility and flexibility for problem solvers and leaders. By developing the dystopian mythos of a "zombie apocalypse" in film and literature, Brooks continues to drive the dialogue as an authority on how to manage and coordinate emergency responses and to suggest better ways to prepare for crisis and struggle. Brooks' unique, unconventional thinking depicted in his books has even inspired the U.S. military to examine how they may respond to potential crises in the future. 'Survival Guide' was read and discussed by the sitting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and Brooks has been invited to speak at a variety of military engagements—from the Naval War College, to the FEMA hurricane drill at San Antonio, to the nuclear "Vibrant Response" war-game.
ABOUT THE ACTRESS: Sarah Wayne Callies has made an indelible impression on audiences worldwide by portraying complex and unique women. Most notably, she starred as 'Lori Grimes' in AMC's critically acclaimed series, "The Walking Dead" and as Dr. Sara Tancedi in Fox's international hit drama "Prison Break." Callie will next be seen on television starring in Fox's highly-anticipated drama series "Prison Break." She will reprise her roll as Dr. Sara Tancredi. "Prison Break" is an American television serial drama created by Paul Scheuring, that was broadcast on Fox for four seasons, from 2005 to 2009. Callies also co-stars in USA's drama series "Colony" opposite Josh Holloway. She plays 'Katie Bowman,' a woman navigating dangerous ethical decisions to protect her family in occupied Los Angeles. The show was created by Carlton Cuse ("LOST") and Ryan Condal ("Hercules"). The second season premiered in January 2017.

Yesterday I paid a visit to the newest exhibition at the Fondation Pierre Bergé / Yves Saint Laurent to view Yves Saint Laurent: Théâtre, cinéma, music-hall, ballet; a look at Saint Laurent's contribution to the worlds of stage and cinema. I was incredibly pleased to be up close to so many classic pieces of haute couture, including the famous dress Catherine Deneuve wears in Belle de Jour. My guide Pascal lowered his voice to point out the one and only piece of mere ready-to-wear allowed in the exhibition: a strapless dress worn by Isabelle Adjani in Subway.
Complete with video interviews, sketches, film extracts, and photographs; this is a fascinating glimpse into the inspirations of a fashion genius.

Pekan Greek, Vancouver

Rencana ini memerlukan kemaskini dalam Bahasa Melayu piawai Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka. Sila membantu, bahan-bahan boleh didapati di Greektown, Vancouver (Inggeris).

Pekan Greek di Vancouver, British Columbia, Kanada adalah sebuah kawasan di kawasan kejiranan Kitsilano yang mengikut sejarah sebuah enklaf pendatang Greek dan keturunan mereka. Istilah ini adalah suatu yang tidak rasmi, dan sempadan-sempadan Pekan Greek tidak pernah ditakrifkan secara ketat. Meskipun, West Broadway di Trutch Street adalah biasanya dianggap pusat kawasan kejiranan. Penduduk bahagian barat Vancouver juga merujukkan Pekan Greek sebagai "Greek West Broadway." rakyat Vancouver berketurunan Greek memanggil kawasan ini Μπροντουέι (secara harfiah "Broadway").
This Greek identity has waned considerably since the area first became a community of exiles during the dictatorship in Greece of the 1960s and early 1970s, and the primary markers of Greektown are St. George's Greek Orthodox Church at 31st Avenue and Arbutus, the local Athens Social Club, a Greek supermarket, and a higher-than-average concentration of Greek restaurants. St. George's Greek Orthodox Church has been noted for its beautiful, traditional Byzantine Iconography. St. George's Hellenic Community of Vancouver (attached to the church with the same patron saint), has a long standing tradition of holding every year a Greek Food Festiva] from October 20 to October 22.
The Hellenic Cultural Festival takes place every June in Kitsilano. The highlight is Greek Day, when Broadway is closed to vehicle traffic between MacDonald and Blenheim for free, family-oriented festivities. The festival is part of an on going effort to restore the Greek identity of Greektown.
Sejarah[sunting | sunting sumber]
After World War II, Greek refugees from Europe and western Canada congregated in the Kitsilano area of Vancouver. They founded the aforementioned Greek Orthodox church, several businesses and social clubs, schools, a bank, newspapers, and, later, a television station.
Dalam census 1971 Canada census, Greek was the second-most common language and ethnicity in the Kitsilano area (most common was English and the British Isles, respectively). In 1974, the city of Vancouver sanctioned an annual Greek Day celebration in the area.
During the 1980s a combination of cultural assimilation, an influx of baby boomers, rising property prices, and Asian immigration began to significantly erode the Greek influence on the area. During this time, many Greek businesses moved or closed, and the television station went off the air. Greek Day was canceled in 1988. Many of the Greeks migrated to other parts of the greater Vancouver area or even returned to Greece. Also, many Greeks who moved to Vancouver during that time period had neither connection to nor immediate knowledge of Greektown.
In the 2001 Canada census, the percentage of people in Kitsilano reporting Greek as their mother tongue had shrunk to 2 percent, fewer than those speaking English, Chinese, French, or German.
In 2005 the City of Vancouver, the Government of British Columbia, and the Government of Greece sponsored a return of Greek Day that has continued annually since.

Easter Parade, Sarah Vaughan,Daniel Goldstein...and MORE!
Niccolo Machiavelli
Happy Easter, 2016!
It is March 27th and is the 87th day of the year. There are 279 days remaining until the end of the year.
Whether you are Christian or not, think of this day as symbolic of rebirth. We all have an opportunity to reinvent ourselves on a daily basis. No matter who we are, we all have the same 24 hours. It is what we do with that 24 hours that separates us and makes us ALL unique.
Most people sleepwalk through day-to-day existence, passively letting time slip away. They find it hard to commit to opportunities that come there way. Let's ALL commit to do that over the course of the next 279 days and see where that takes us.
Let's celebrate all that today holds. Let's start with celebrating THE holiday movie to watch. That, of course is Easter Parade starring Judy Garland and Fred Astaire. It was the one and only time that these great musical comedy
giants were paired together. Read more about this great film via one of my favorite sites, The Judy Room. In addition to being Easter, it is also the birthday of Sarah "Sassy" Vaughan. She is one of my favorite singers. She is being honored this week by the US Postal Service with her own stamp and on April 9th, La Tanya Hall will be performing To Sarah, With Love at American Popular Song Society. I interviewed La Tanya in an earlier blog. I hope you'll join us as we all celebrate Miss Vaughan.

Higher education subcommittee looks to eliminate HEPC
CHARLESTON — The regulatory body overseeing West Virginia colleges and universities could be scrapped in favor of a new agency under a proposal being considered by a blue-ribbon subcommittee.
The Structure and Organizational Subcommittee of the Blue Ribbon Commission for Four-Year Higher Education met Monday morning by conference call. The subcommittee was tasked with looking at the governing structures of higher education in West Virginia.
"Our mission statement is really to look at modernizing and have the higher education in West Virginia – the governing system – be more efficient and not with the bureaucracy and the double-mandates that we have," said Andrew "Drew" Payne, chairman of the subcommittee.
Payne is a member of the Higher Education Policy Commission and a former chairman of the West Virginia University Board of Governors.
West Virginia University President Gordon Gee, the co-chair of the full Blue Ribbon Commission, has been an outspoken opponent of HEPC ever since the body was mandated by the Legislature to develop a performance-based funding model for higher education. During Monday's conference call, Gee called for a new agency to replace HEPC and provide support services to colleges and universities.
Gee said there is no need for a single regulatory body such as the HEPC. While all the state's colleges and universities have their own governing boards appointed by the governor, only WVU and Marshall University don't answer to the HEPC.
"First of all, our boards are appointed by the governor and approved by the Senate, and then there are considerable oversights of these boards that occur from the Legislature," Gee said. "No. 2, what we need to be doing is we need to make certain our smaller institutions have access to support when they need it. The larger institutions obviously don't need to have that."
The draft funding model proposed by HEPC would determine how much state funding each four-year college and university received based on several criteria, including in-state enrollment, credit-hours and progress toward degrees. If the Legislature approves of the formula, it would reduce the amount of money some schools – including WVU – receive from the state.
Gee said HEPC provides an unneeded level of redundancy and regulation and is not doing what was originally intended for the agency.
"We need to get back into the business of not having redundancy and oversight from a centralized body, particularly one we cannot afford," Gee said. "The Higher Education Policy Commission was created as a policy commission. It is now a regulatory agency way beyond the boundaries of what is good for higher education."
Under Gee's proposal, HEPC would be shut down and replaced by a service agency for higher education. The governor and Legislature would provide regulatory oversight for higher education. The subcommittee will present the proposal to the full Blue Ribbon Commission at its next meeting.

Top posting at First Leasing
Manama, July 15, 2007
First Leasing Bank (FLB) announced the appointment of Jassim Awadh as business development director.
The new official will be responsible for pursuing the bank's aggressive expansion strategy.
First Leasing Bank is pioneering the Gulf's rapidly growing market for equipment leasing and contributing significantly to regional economic development.
"Coming to the bank with both an engineering and a banking background, Jassim is ideally suited to our line of business, which requires a strong understanding of finance and the technical know-how necessary to deal with the needs of a wide range of industries and capital assets," said FLB chief executive officer James A Cracco.
"He will play a pivotal role in guiding our sales and marketing team and expanding into new markets and equipment classes."
Awadh has held key positions at several major banks, including that of vice-president with Gulf International Bank (GIB), where he was also assigned the task of developing new relationships within the GCC region.
He was also a corporate banking manager at BBK, an investment manager at Calyon and an Area Manager with Citibank (Bahrain).
Before entering the banking industry Awadh held engineering positions at Batelco and Bapco.
Awadh has an MBA and an MSc in Electronic Engineering, both from the University of Wales in Cardiff.
He also holds a BSc with honors in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Newcastle upon Tyne.
"I eagerly await the many challenges that my new position will bring. Since we are virtually creating a new industry in the region, there will undoubtedly be many exciting opportunities and interesting challenges," said Awadh.
"FLB is a dynamic and fast-growing bank with a bright future in an accelerating market. I look forward to playing an important role in this unique institution," he added.
Established in August 2004, FLB has a paid-up capital of $100 million, and is the first bank in the GCC dedicated to the introduction and expansion of equipment leasing throughout the region.
FLB, an affiliate of Ithmaar Bank, provides finance and operating leases for most asset classes, including industrial, manufacturing, medical, printing and publishing, construction, telecommunications, IT, transportation and marine. TradeArabia News Service

What good is a wordless book? In its silence, it shouts.
"Pause! Reflect! Absorb!"
On every page of this concise little title, the reader is encouraged to drink deep the adventures of youth. The child's delight as he steps off his porch, fervor as he splashes, and dismay at losing something dear to him, are all beautifully illustrated as a reminder of just how passionately the young among us experience what seem to us to be the humdrum day-to-day moments.
My favorite part, though, is when his parent acknowledges his dismay, and helps him go about setting things right. How often do we brush off the big emotions of our children, meeting their dismay at losing that leaf that looked just so, with frustration of our own?
"What's the big deal? Grow up!"
We may not say these words aloud, but we certainly say them with our actions. When I am frustrated that my son cannot cope with the fact that he cut the construction paper too small for what he wanted to build, or that his creative process requires a certain color LEGO piece that he cannot find, may I be reminded that he is human, too, and these "little" things matter to him as strongly as my experiences matter to me. May I be reminded to see things through passionate eyes once more, and to revel in the simplicity of splashing in puddles and watching snowflakes drift.

Saira's Story: Exercising to Manage Depression and Physical Pain
"I am an unemployed single mum of one. I have suffered with back and shoulder problems for nearly 10 years, from a couple of years before becoming pregnant with my daughter."
"A year after giving birth, my physical health deteriorated dramatically when I developed a chronic pain in my left foot, for which I was given an unsuccessful steroid injection.
This was the beginning of around three years of chronic pain in my left foot, ankle and knee where my whole left leg felt like a dead limb but immensely painful, making having a good night's sleep impossible.
In pain and desperation I started seeking alternative therapies and discovered a good acupuncture practitioner who made the first ever positive difference to the pain.Â
Apart from relying on the short term alleviation from some problems that acupuncture was effective in treating, I also exercised as much as I could manage, going to the gym, Pilates and yoga classes to try and get my aching muscles and joints back to health.
I also began cycling with my daughter strapped into a child seat on the back, which was a lot less painful than pushing a buggy around but gave people a strange impression of my condition.
Even close friends and my partner felt I was in much better health than I really was and parents at my daughter's school would often call me super fit mum and were envious of my healthy 'lifestyle'.
My health problems put a strain on my relationship and ultimately caused it to end, which brought with it a string of emotional and financial difficulties.
Today my foot has fully recovered and, although I still suffer with periods of depression, I would never allow myself to get to a stage where I would need to rely on antidepressants. I cope by continuing to go to the gym, swimming regularly and cycling (when it is not too cold!)
Acupuncture mainly keeps the worst physical symptoms at bay and being active helps keep me mentally strong and healthy to tackle life with its many ups and downs.
Having battled with physical ill health, I am even more passionate about keeping on top of my mental health through exercise as I feel it is crucial for me to remain mentally fit both for my daughter and for myself."

There was a trade for swing traders as Bank Nifty traded between 23086 - 23280 . Have mentioned in the previous posts that Bank Nifty has its immediate resistance near 23480 - 23515 zone and immediate resistance near 23115 - 22985 zone . We should see a bigger move once its breaks and sustains beyond this initial outer range of 23515 - 22985 .

Similarly Bank Nifty needs to break and sustain below 23114 for short confirmation then we can expect a move till 22961 - 22852 levels initially and sustaining / closing below 22786 we can expect a further move till 22560 - 22312. Bank Nifty has a strong support now near 22515 - 22480 zone . Bank Nifty has immediate resistance near 23480 - 23515 zone and above that near 23760 - 23820 zone . Bank Nifty has its immediate support near 23115 - 22985 zone and below it near 22880 - 22800 . Had mentioned in the previous post "Bank Nifty has closed below our weekly short trigger level and it now needs to sustain / close below the short confirmation level of 23114 for a further correction and being unable to do so we can see a revisit of the recent highs " and today Bank Nifty has moved above the weekly short trigger level.
For today if Bank Nifty spot sustains above 23405 we can see a initial move till 23510 & on sustaining above 23535 we may see further move till 23725 .

So I've been absent for a long, long time and I have no excuse apart from… I've had blog block!
All you writer's out there, I'm sure you've experienced writer's block. Blog block is exactly the same but it's only related to blogs. I've been steaming ahead on my writing, which is great, but sadly my blogs have been lacking.
Every time I say I'm going to do better, I get more and more blocks. It drives me insane and I feel so bad for not producing anything. I don't know whether any of my followers notice my absence but then I realise that this is my problem. I mean how can my followers miss what I blog about when I don't blog?
So I need to work at being missed, you know? I need to blog regularly so one day you might think 'I haven't heard from Lisa for a while, I hope she blogs soon'. So this is the new me. I will blog more. I know I've said it before and I know I've said that before but I'm really trying. I actually miss it. I need to think up new blog ideas. I'm even thinking of reviewing books – both professional and amateur. So keep an eye out for more blogs. I will be doing my best.
If you have anything you want to read, pop a comment below and I'll think about it.
Bye for now and hopefully my absence won't be so long next time. Fingers crossed I can do it this time!

The Barracks were a secure residential compound on the Island comprising houses and other surface buildings with electricity and water service, plus an unknown number of underground facilities. Originally constructed by the DHARMA Initiative, the Others took control of them after the Purge, using the compound as their home and base of operations on the Island.
The Others abandoned the Barracks in 2004 in anticipation of the arrival of the mercenary team sent by Charles Widmore. When the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 split into two groups, Locke's group temporarily resided in the Barracks. Since then, the Barracks had been abandoned.
The Barracks were located directly north of the Pearl, as shown on Ben's radio tower map and Kate's map.
Barracks History
DHARMA Initiative
The Barracks were built sometime in the early 1970's, likely not long after the DHARMA Initiative's arrival on the Island. They were used to house DHARMA Initiative scientists, support staff and their families. The Barracks were designed to be an entire utopian community or small town with all the amenities of civilization of that era.
Residents had all of the conveniences of modern living, such as electricity, plumbing, ovens, refrigerators, books, record players, and so on. DHARMA staff also appear to have taken part in recreational leisure activities with individuals riding bikes across the grounds.
The Purge/Aftermath
At some point after their arrival, the DHARMA Initiative entered into a long-running conflict with a group "indigenous" to the Island, known as the Hostiles. After numerous skirmishes, the conflict ended when the Hostiles, in alliance with certain members of the Initiative including Ben Linus, flooded the Barracks with toxic gas killing at least forty in a single stroke. Some time afterwards, the Barracks were taken over by the Others: a group consisting of the Hostiles, ex-DHARMA personnel and people recruited from the outside world. ("The Man Behind the Curtain")
The Others appeared to have constructed a tight-knit community within the Barracks – and appear to have maintained ties with the outside world, per the appearance of clothing, books, CDs, electronics and other items of recent origin. Their community also had their own book club. It is not known how many Others lived at the Barracks, although Jack estimated at least fifty. ("Left Behind")
Recent Events
The survivors' discovery of the Barracks began when Sayid found a map in the Flame with the location marked on it. According to Sayid, the map showed "electrical and data cabling running from the Flame… to a place called the Barracks". He also said that the Barracks were "comprised of houses and dormitories, with water and power, large enough to accommodate an entire community." He correctly surmised that this was the location of the Others' home on the Island. ("Enter 77")
Sayid, Kate, Locke, and Danielle Rousseau were the first to discover the Barracks after bypassing the sonar fence, and were subsequently captured. The Others, however, unexpectedly abandoned the Barracks after this incident – leaving for The Temple. This move was likely a response to the freighter approaching the Island sent by Charles Widmore. ("The Man from Tallahassee") ("Left Behind")
Locke's group temporarily settled in the Barracks, believing it to be one of the most secure areas remaining on the Island.
This illusion was shattered, however, by an attack on the Barracks by the freighter mercenaries. ("The Economist") ("The Shape of Things to Come")
Since that time, the Barracks was completely abandoned. After the emergency landing of Ajira Airlines Flight 316 in 2007, Frank, Sun, Ben, and Locke returned to the Barracks which appeared to be suffering from three years of age and neglect. Why the Others did not resume occupation of the facility is unknown. ("Namaste") ("Dead Is Dead")
After the death of Juliet, Sawyer left the Temple despite the warnings by Dogen that he should not leave. Soon afterwards Kate and Jin went after him with two Others, Justin and Aldo. Kate knocked out both men and found Sawyer, at his and Juliet's home at the Barracks, on her own. Kate and Sawyer discussed Juliet's death at the submarine jetty and Sawyer told Kate he was going to ask Juliet to marry him. He then threw Juliet's engagement ring into the water and told Kate to go back to the temple while he remained there. ("What Kate Does")
Later on that day, Sawyer continued to get drunk in his home and listened to a song titled "Search and Destroy" while the smoke monster arrived at the barracks and looked into his home. A little while later the Man in Black walked up to Sawyer's home in the guise of John Locke. While in the house, Sawyer and the Man in Black shared a drink and Sawyer questioned who the Man in Black was because he was not scared, while the real John Locke always was. The Man in Black then said that, if Sawyer came with him, he could provide the answer to the most important question there was: Why are you on this Island? After some initial reluctance, Sawyer agreed to go along. ("The Substitute")
Richard Alpert, Benjamin Linus, and Miles Straume traveled to the Barracks to collect explosives to destroy the Ajira plane, after Hurley destroyed all of the Black Rock's remaining dynamite. ("Everybody Loves Hugo") Not long after arriving at Ben's old house they encountered a fleeing Charles Widmore and Zoe. After finding out the Man in Black arrived at the dock, Miles fled the Barracks, Widmore and Zoe hid in the secret room, and Richard and Ben went out to confront him. Richard was then attacked by the Monster, and thrown out of sight. Ben then led The Man In Black to Widmore, where he killed Zoe and Ben shot and killed Widmore. ("What They Died For") Miles later located Richard in the nearby jungle, and they used an outrigger rigged at the dock to go to Hydra Island. ("The End")
The Grounds
During the time of the DHARMA Initiative and later under custody of the Others, the Barracks were extremely well kept with neatly mowed and watered lawns. Attractive concrete pathways wound their way between the buildings lined with what appeared to be solar-powered garden lights. A number of speakers were set at occasion along the paths along with posts containing security cameras and floodlights which could be activated on the event of a security breach. The Barracks had no telephone or electrical poles – which suggests the presence of an underground power distribution system. Several white picket fences seemed to denote various yards or garden areas.
The Processing Center
The Welcome Center was the first stop for recruits after they have been checked in at the Processing Center. It was the source for any information regarding departments and procedures on the island. The center was also used for training and educational programs.
Security Office
Beneath the building east of the Welcome Center was located an underground bunker-like security office. Access to the Security Office was restricted to authorized personnel only. A large bank of nine monitors (similar to those seen at the Pearl, the Flame, and the Hydra) provided live security feeds from various areas of the Barracks including the sonar fence. The DHARMA Initiative appeared to have had security personnel stationed here continuously. One of the DHARMA security guards made a joke about the polar bears escaping their cages, hinting that other stations could be monitored from this location. The room also contained a reel-to-reel tape player capable of playing music on the room's speakers. ("LaFleur") ("Namaste") The office may also have been the location where the Others monitored Jack during his stay at the Barracks. ("The Man from Tallahassee")
An adjacent room contained a jail cell which was used briefly to hold Sayid in 1977. The room contained a security camera which apparently had picture, but no sound. ("Namaste") ("He's Our You") Why the Others did not use the jail cell for holding Kate, Sayid, and Locke is unknown. Possibly Anthony Cooper may have been held here for a time. ("The Man from Tallahassee") ("Left Behind")
At the southside of the the Barracks lay a medical clinic and operating theater ostensibly to take care of day-to-day injuries and other health issues for DHARMA Initiative personnel. Amy was brought here to give birth to her son, Ethan. Similarly, young Ben was brought here after being shot by Sayid. The clinic contained basic medical supplies including sterile lancets, painkillers, cotton pads, and swabs – although apparently was not as well stocked as The Staff. ("LaFleur") ("He's Our You") ("Whatever Happened, Happened")
A large building, east of the school, contained a cafeteria and large adjacent kitchen presumably where DHARMA personnel would take most of their meals. Hurley worked here for a time in 1977. ("He's Our You") The kitchen/cafeteria had its own DHARMA logo.
Motor Pool
The Motor Pool was a large garage/depot facility at the eastern side of the Barracks where DHARMA's fleet of vans, jeeps, and pickup trucks were housed. Vehicles here could be signed out by DHARMA personnel on an as-needed basis and would be worked on by technicians at the same location. Numerous fuel containers, oil drums, and tires were strewn about. The Motor pool maintained eight vans, four jeeps, and four pickup trucks that could be used around the Island. (Dharma Initiative orientation kit). On pegs next to the sign-out sheet hung 16 keys. A locked gun safe was also kept here, presumably in the event of Hostile incursions. ("LaFleur") ("Some Like It Hoth") ("The Variable") The motor pool had its own DHARMA logo.

Wiki Info
In Greek mythology Olympus was regarded as the "home" of the Twelve Olympian gods of the ancient Greek world. It formed itself after the gods defeated the titans in the Titan War, and soon the palace was inhabited by the gods. It is the setting of many Greek mythical stories. Olympus was not shaken by winds nor ever wet with rain, nor did snow fall upon it, but the air is outspread clear and cloudless, and over it hovered a radiant whiteness.
Further Info
OLYMPUS was the home of the gods. They dwelt in fabulous palaces of marble and gold built on the peak of the mountain high above the clouds.
Sometimes the gods' citadel stands at the apex of the solid bronze dome of the sky, high above the peak of Mount Olympus. In the Iliad (5.709ff) Hera descends from the sky dome in her chariot to speak with Zeus who is seated on the peak of Mount Olympos.
Olympus, the abode of the gods also requires a few words of comment in this place. Mount Olympus is situated in the north-east of Thessaly, and is about 6,000 feet high; on its summit which rises above the clouds of heaven, and is itself cloudless, Hephaestus had built a town with gates, which was inhabited by Zeus and the other gods. (Od. vi. 42, Il. xi. 76.) The palace of Zeus contained an assenmbly-hall, in which met not only the gods of Olympus, but those also who dwelt on the earth or in the sea. (Il. xx. 5.) This celestial mountain must indeed be distinguished from heaven ; but as the gods lived in the city which rose above the clouds and into heaven, they lived at the same time in heaven, and the gates of the celestial city were at the same time regarded as the gates of heaven. (Il. v. 749, &c.)

Yes, it's official : I've lost my painting mojo! A lot of real-life stuff has got in the way over the last 2 -3 months. I did start a number of projects but little got completed and my painting area got into a terrible mess. So, in the spare moments over the last couple of days I had a good tidy up and laid out the ongoing projects I want to finish or make significant progress on right now. I'm hoping this will reignite the flame and I'll get some nice stuff done before the summer is out.
The projects, in no particular order, are : Broken Karchev, Suryat, Mech Droid, Raicho, Extreme Ghetorix and Vlad 3 .
Poor old Karchev has been in pieces on the side of my desk for months since Harkevich became my Khador caster of choice and then I shelved the faction in favour of Circle. This simply is not the right state of affairs for the great man and he must be returned to a fit fighting state. The Infinity miniatures are for the ongoing campaign and I would like to see them on the tabletop
soon. The final two pieces are ear-marked for SMOGCON 2015 as potential entries in the painting competition. While chatting to Jon Webb at the 2014 event he recommended preparing 5 – 6 pieces and then narrowing down to the best for some final tlc. To me that sounded like a great strategy and it should generate some nice models for play if nothing else.
Without further ado I decided to go for a quick win and get Karchev put back together this evening. When I first made him I was lazy with pinning and hence why he ended up in such a state. I set about him with drill, brass rod and superglue and after an hour he was in a much better shape. It's not the neatest job in the world and his pose could be better, but the main thing is pride has been restored and he is ready to kick butt should I decide to bring him out of retirement.

Sociology is offered at A level in a two year linear course following the AQA specification.
Everybody is part of society. Sociology attempts to bring a systematic understanding to our knowledge of what goes on around us – locally, nationally and even internationally; it helps to understand how society has helped to shape who we are and our experiences in life. In particular, Sociology is often characterised with describing and explaining patterns of inequality, deprivation and conflict, which are a feature of almost all societies.
"The fascination of sociology lies in the fact that its perspective makes us see in a new light the very world in which we have lived all our lives."
A Level
Three units are studied over the two year course, which are examined in 3 exams in the summer of Year 13.
Unit 1 Education with Theory and Methods
In this unit we explore the possible hidden purposes of education; why different social groups experience school differently and the effects this has on achievement; the strengths and weaknesses of the different ways that sociologists collect their data.
Unit 2 Two Topics in Sociology
1. Families and Households
Here we consider the sociology of the family – examine the issues of power and control within relationships; explore Feminist views on how the family continues to be oppressive to women; how childhood has changed and how government tries to subtly impact family life.
2. Beliefs in Society or The Media
Unit 3 Crime and Deviance with Theory and Methods
We look at the patterns and trends in crime of crime and deviance by ethnicity, gender and social class; the role of the media and crime; green crime; human rights and state crimes; crime control, prevention and punishment, victims, and the role of the criminal justice system.
In addition throughout the course we consider sociological theories, perspectives and methods such as Marxism, Feminism and Functionalism and the two core themes:
- Socialisation, culture and identity
- Social differentiation, power and stratification
All units are examined – there is no coursework.
"It can be said that the first wisdom of sociology is this–things are not what they seem. This too is a deceptively simple statement. It ceases to be simple after a while. Social reality turns out to have many layers of meaning.
The discovery of each new layer changes the perception of the whole."

Where oh where does the time go, especially when I am having so much fun?
Let's see, since my last post I have had a horrible bout of sciatica that was followed by me seeing a "specific" chiropractor. Specific chiropractic deals mainly with upper cervical care - meaning the atlas and axis which are the two bones that hold up your head. And seems that I literally had my head on crooked. I realize that many of you just now might have had an aha! moment about me. You might be thinking, "Ok, now I get her, that makes so much sense" right!? I'm so with you there. ;-)
But it did help loads - not that you just go once, you go three times per week so it's a bit of a time commitment. And then a couple of days later I got a ton of consulting work. In fact, my colleague who hired me, said the moment he saw me, "You look like a published author!" So I have to attribute some of getting the work to the book, which I mentioned here. And then, Dave and I joined a gym. The really gawd awful expensive, over priced, doesn't even have a towel service gym. The same one that is literally 5 minutes down the road and for us - that means we will actually use it. We joined because I was lying there one night, in agony from the sciatica feeling about 300 years old and I said to Dave, "What is going on?! This is just unbelievable."
"We have to exercise." he said. And he is right. I don't think we are the first special needs parents who have put working out at the bottom of the list. Not that we intended to put it there. But it just got there, at the bottom, under things like, work with Ellie all day, pick up meds, bring her to that doctor, get up at night with her, try to hold down a job and house hold...and on and on.
So we joined a gym and started going there a few times per week. I am not allowed to tell you what the group exercise class we do is because Dave will get in trouble with the Irish. Let's just say it's quite a stretch for an Irish man to be there. And on top of that he is pretty good at it. So that has all been great. Working in my field doing workshops with large groups of executives has been exhilarating but bad for blogging.
And then, just as my sciatica was a bad memory, two days ago I got hit by a car. I was in line waiting to go through a toll when all of the sudden, BAM! My car lurched forward, luckily not hitting the car in front and behind me I see a car with their front hood quite crumpled. Me and the other driver were both really civil to each other, both able to drive away after we had exchanged information. I wonder how she is doing now? Wednesday, the day after the accident, I could barely move and the sciatica was back. Upon examination today I was diagnosed with whiplash, which in my case means tissue damage in my spine. Major ouch and ARRRGGGGGG! Just when I was starting to feel really great, back to the starting block.
As it turns out getting consulting work, being in car crashes, working out, and being a mother are all really, really bad for blogging and painting for that matter. It's all an adjustment and now I have to figure out how to fit more in. The really bad part is that there are all these posts rolling around my brain. If anyone out there knows how to acquire a penseive I could really use one right now! Also, we just found some really cute videos of Ellie when she was little. Soooo cute and I will post them over the weekend.
Oh, and we are taking Miss Ellie to the same chiropractor and her head control has improved and she is sleeping better. (Remember to keep that last bit on the Q/T ok because, well if you have been a frequent reader of this blog, you know who we need to be careful not to mention her sleeping through the night to....!)
Miss Ellie is doing GREAT in general. She is reading and spelling more and more words. She is trying really hard to talk and it's starting to sound more like words. She is using both legs now in her pony and able to tolerate her stander for 30 minutes up from 15 at a time and GROWING and GROWING. We have her 5 year appointment (I know it's way over due) next Tuesday so more to report then. Overall, she is the sweetest, cutest, funniest little girl a mama could want.
Her latest, cutest, new-new thing is that she loves blankets. She still likes to try different seats. But she has discovered blankets. It's been really cold here and she figured out how to tell me she wants a blanket over her. She loves to sit on the couch with me and have a blanket over both of us. If it's not over me too, she will then work to adjust it so it's over both of us. Soooo cute. We say, "warm, snuggly blanket" and that makes her laugh. Sometimes I wish she could stay at the age she is forever because it's just so adorable but then she does new things and they are equally as cute. Oh, and one more thing, Ellie wants to dance like her classmate Xavier. So during circle she will want to stand while he is standing and dance too. Is that not the greatest thing?!
She is growing and changing and balm to a mama's soul.
Oh, and one last thing, Yang-May Ooi, author of Fusion View has asked me to contribute to her book about blogging communities because of the little community that hangs out around Ryn Tales. Cool huh?! I will keep you posted. Don't have all the details yet. But she did make me see there is a community here, I just think of you all as my bloggy friends, but it is a community in the sense that it has been a huge source of support and fun and learning for me.
Ok, penseive session over. (for those of you who don't get that reference, you really do need to get the finger out (sorry, Irish idiom there) and read Harry Potter). ;-)

S pumps form the backbone of many sewage systems. They are selected for their strength, their durability, and for innovative features such as the SmartTrim impeller clearance adjustment system and the Smart Seal for leakage prevention.
The SmartTrim system used on the S-pumps makes it easy to adjust the factory-set impeller clearance and thus to maintain maximum pump efficiency.
The Grundfos SmartSeal Auto-coupling gasket provides a completely leak-proof connection between the pump and the base unit of the auto-coupling system. The shaft seal is capable of rotating in either direction. When the pumps are installed with separate pipework, sludge sedimentation can be avoided by back-flushing the system at regular intervals.
The pumps are suitable for the following applications:
- Transfer of unscreened raw sewage
- Transfer of raw water
- Pumping of water containing sludge
- Pumping of industrial effluent.

Boundaries – The Series
Last year I was inspired to write a novella to show the real beauty of a Dominant/submissive relationship. I wanted to express the feelings of both conflict and intense pleasure that many people experience in this lifestyle. How can you be fiercely independent, feisty and strong willed and yet want to give up all control to another at the same time? A true D/s relationship is based on trust, honesty and respect and it was my aim to highlight this in the story I created, along with emphasis on the most fundamental rule of BDSM: Safe, Sane and Consensual.
As I wrote I grew to like my characters more and more, in fact, I'll even admit to falling a little bit in love with Adam Stone. I wanted to give them the story they deserved and so, what started out as a novella, grew into a full length novel. And it grew and grew until finally, after 150,000 words, I felt I had done Rachel and Adam justice. I hadn't really thought about what I'd do when it was finished, but decided to submit the story to only one publisher, just to see what they thought. To my delight, they liked it and accepted it.
My little novella is now a trilogy published by Totally Bound Publishing (formerly Total-E-Bound) on 20th December 2013.
The series title is Boundaries and the books, which are best read in order, are called To Love & Submit, To Love and Trust and To Love and Obey.

Watch 3 Laurel and Hardy Silent Movies
It's Saturday, it's kind of yuck outside, and Pretty Clever Film Gal has a splitting headache. What to do, what to do? I think 3 Laurel and Hardy silents plus some hair of the dog should do the trick.
I'm pretty certain that these are all Hal Roach productions from 1928 or 1929, but I could be wrong and I'm too lazy to check at the moment. If you know better, by all means, lay it on me. Otherwise, just enjoy.
Now… sshhh! Read the rest of this entry
Happy Birthday Marion Davies
Happy birthday, Marion Davies. You would be 115 today, if you had taken really excellent care of yourself. TCM is partying it up for Marion's birthday. Gene Zonarich of the excellent 11 East 14th Street recommends The Florodora Girl, Five and Ten, and Blondie of the Follies. Gene really knows his stuff, so we should listen to him.
In honor of Marion's birthday, we're all going to forget that whole William Randolph Hearst business. We're definitely going to forget all those Orson Welles shenanigans. We're especially going to stop wondering why wordpress.com suggested "Sarah Jessica Parker" would be appropriate tag for this post. Instead, we're just going to enjoy Miss Davies for the fine actress she actually was.

Buster Keaton and Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle
From Laurel and Hardy to Abbott and Costello to Cheech and Chong (yeah, I said it) – duos make the comedy world go 'round. And why not? You've got the yin and the yang, the clown and the straight man, the graceful and the inept – and you've got the very large and the very small. Physical dichotomies are just really, really funny and never more so than in the era of silent slapstick,when the visual was paramount. Take away a comedy duos ability to verbally spar, insert a prima facie visual pun, and you've got yourself a great comedy team. And was ever there a pair as physically disparate as Buster Keaton and Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle? Read the rest of this entry
The Freshman is the Moneyball of 1925
For some nice advertorial tie-in to the release of Moneyball, Time.com has a 25 Best Sports Movies of All-Time feature. And, lo-and-behold, Harol Lloyd's 1925 classic comedy The Freshman is included! Now, I'm not so sure I would necessarily call The Freshman a sports movie, and I'm not so sure about Moneyball advertorial tie-ins, but I'm always happy to see Lloyd get much deserved recognition.
If you've never seen The Freshman, stop what you're doing and go watch it. Or at least whet your appetite with this clip, and then rent the dvd from Netflix (Qwikster?) or buy it at Amazon.

A recent Nielsen survey aimed at "getting inside the minds of craft beer consumers" was outlined during today's Brewers Association Power Hour conference call.
The 20-minute online "Craft Beer Insights Poll (CIP)," developed in conjunction with the BA and conducted in late May, surveyed more than 1,000 drinkers and separated respondents into two groups: weekly craft beer drinkers and "less-than-weekly" drinkers.
According to the poll, at least 58 percent of those surveyed drink craft beer at least once per week. More than 25 percent respondents drink craft beer several times per week, Nielsen found. The other 42 percent of survey respondents were identified as "less-than-weekly" drinkers.
Does "Craft" Matter?
52 percent of all respondents considered beer a "strong fit" with the description "craft." That's compared to just 25 percent for spirits, 20 percent and less than 10 percent for items like coffee, juice, and chocolate.
That's important because, as Nielsen found, the word "craft" influences a consumer's interest in trying an alcoholic beverage product. More than 50 percent of those who drink craft beer said they would be more interested in trying an alcoholic beverage product described as "craft." Comparatively, the same percentage of respondents identified in the survey as "regular" alcoholic beverage drinkers (not just craft beer drinkers) said the word "craft" did not influence their decision to try a new product.
Similarly, a large number of respondents in both groups associate terms like "small & independent," "small batch production," and "handcrafted," with the word "craft," Nielsen found. 30 percent of craft beer drinkers also associate the word "quality," with "craft."
Purchasing Behavior:
52 percent of legal drinking age consumers who drink beer, wine and spirits, said local production is at least "somewhat important" when deciding which craft beers to purchase. Only 23 percent of those respondents said being locally made mattered when they purchased spirits.
Additionally, a staggering number of "craft beer drinkers" often drink other adult beverages. 90 percent said they also drink imported beer; 80 percent said they drink spirits and wine; 78 percent said they drink domestic non-craft beer. Only 42 percent of survey respondents said they also drink hard cider and flavored malt beverages, however.
44 percent of regular craft beer drinkers said they are drinking more craft beer than they did last year and, despite continued growth for spirits, 30 percent of craft beer drinkers said they were actually drinking less spirits compared to last year.
On average, craft beer drinkers purchase 3.6 brands per month, according to the survey. 15 percent of respondents also said they purchase 10 or more brands per month.
When choosing which craft beer to buy, 99 percent of respondents said flavor was important; 94 percent said freshness was important and 79 percent said aroma was a factor in the purchasing decision.
When making purchasing decision on-premise, 73 percent of craft drinkers surveyed said getting the beer on draft was important. 71 percent of drinkers said price was a factor; 67 percent cited local production as being imported and 64 percent said product familiarity was important.
According to Nielsen, convenience stores are still the biggest retail opportunity for craft. Craft is just 5 percent of total beer dollar sales in c-stores, compared to 20 percent in the grocery channel. It's also the fastest growing channel, up 21 percent year-to-date.
Since most c-stores operate in small footprint, single serve packages and trial opportunities are keys to craft's potential success. Breweries can also work to create a "craft destination" with warm shelf space.
95 percent of weekly craft beer drinkers consume their purchases at home or at a friend's house, according to the survey. More than 80 percent purchase craft beer while eating out at a restaurant or drinking with friends at the bar. But when they attend sporting events, only 50 percent of weekly craft beer drinkers will purchase craft, an area Nielsen sees as an opportunity for small brewers.
Finally, 61 percent of respondents said they would purchase more of a craft brewers' products after visiting the brewery.
