The band are based in and around London and regularly perform in Central London and its surrounding areas. They are happy to travel around the UK for events if required.
The Girls From Oz are a Vintage Vocal Trio that all hail from the land down under. They provide a number of different packages to suit a wide range of occasions.
They can be hired to perform classic 1940's and 1950's repertoire complete with adorable retro costumes, which is perfect for high end corporate events, parties and hotels/bars. However for an utterly unique show, these girls will perform classic Aussie Pop songs re-arranged into three part harmony. This can be background music or a fully fledged cabaret show complete with costume changes, comedy and loads of cheeky Aussie banter. The girls are very adaptable to what potential clients actually want as it all depends on the mood of the event. They can be fun and cheeky, sweet 'girls next door' or sexy sophisticated sheilas!
There are three casts of girls, which means there are always plenty of singers available! The line up is always a Ravishing Red head, Beautiful Blonde and Bonza Brunette. They are all trained, professional singer/actors who have worked in Musical Theatre, notably on London's West End stage, which is why they can really put on a show!
They have performed their cabarets at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for the last two years as well as at a number of venues in London (Brasserie Zedel, Above the Arts, The Other Palace, Toulouse Lautrec, Cahoots) and corporate events at Australia House, The House of Commons and Berlin. They can be hired with backing tracks, piano or a three piece band.
It is difficult to categorise the musical style of the group as it is so eclectic but one thing is certain, it is utterly unique. The Girls from Oz are one of a kind!

Two married people have been in an affair with each other for years. What started out as a friendship grew into an emotional bond which lead to them falling in love. The woman's marriage is currently going through a divorce…but the mans marriage is not. The woman in the affair is now pregnant and wants to abort the child. The man does not want her to abort. He knows that an outside child could ruin his marriage (further) by creating him an unorthodox "way of exscape" or that the shock and jealously of putting evidence with his wife's suspicions… could cause his wife to be more attentive. A dice game. The woman wants to abort fearing that she would ultimately be forced to raise the child alone. She doesn't want to bring a baby into the world under the current circumstances. The man is not in the best financial position to assist her or to even raise a child… but his "concern" is the baby. The woman has made plans to abort in just a few days….regardless of the man opinion. They both understand the selfishness to their actions. They're not looking for responses of people who just want to "grab the mic and show how perfect they are". They are seeking honest opinions of if an abortion should be a mutual agreement or if the woman (being the one to carry the load – no pun intended) makes the decision alone. If you don't have a solid point of view…just pray for the situation. #Respect.

Can you post this to the group? My boyfriend and I moved together about 4 months ago. Things went really well at first, but now he is verbally abusive, he pushes me when we argue now, that never happened before. Our arguments are getting worse. We are both on the lease, it's for a year. I don't want to live or be with him anymore, what can I do. It's expensive to break the lease on my own. I've tried reasoning with him, but it doesn't work. I will take any advice. Thank you.

Principal Lisa will you please post? My husband and I are in our 30's. I've never been a jealous woman, so that is not the issue. I really would like Relationship Soup's feedback. My husband is a pastor. There is a member of the church, a young woman who constantly posts about him on social media. She posts about what he does, how much she loves him, etc. It is getting to the point that it's becoming excessive and well, weird..She has started to include me (his wife) in all of the postings now. I just find it disturbing. My question, as a wife or a pastors wife, would you care if another woman posts about your husband almost daily? Record him in videos, upload videos and constantly posts about how she loves him and tags you in all the postings? How would you feel?by

Jason calls his ex (who is the mother of his child and lives in another state) and asks if he can get his son for Thanksgiving. She simply says NO with no further explanation. Would Jason be wrong if the next time he talked to his son he says, "I really wanted to come pick you up for thanksgiving but your mom said NO?" What are your thoughts?

Hi Principal!
Hope all is well with you. I would like to ask a question I am having an issue, I don't deal well with my s/o talking about his previous sexual encounters. I was told I don't have an open mind. Every so often a name will be mentioned. I on the other hand do not discuss mine. Help me understand why I should have an open mind about his previous sexual encounters being discussed…? Yes am serious I do not deal well with it! Ugh

What's up Relationship Soup?
I have a friend that is very kind and will help anyone out in the time of need. There was a young lady whose brother had passed and he assisted by setting up a funeral fund for him she never thanked him at all. He develops a crush on the young lady and he asks her out multiple times and she turns him down in the most harshest of ways and always ignores him, until she needs help paying her rent. Because she needs help she turns to the guy who setup the stuff for her brother and ask for him to help..how would you feel if you were him?

Helloprint wants to improve the monthly closing and year-end process by validating all orders are recorded in the transaction database and all orders are invoiced.
By collaborating with Actuals, Helloprint used the robotic revenue validation to get in independent check on the data in their database. At the same time it changed their audit approach as they can react on deviations faster and have better insights with the monthly reports.

Last night, nearly 900 bacon barons and baronesses get slabbed...with swine at Denver's first Bacon and Beer Festival, a blow-out bash, organized by Eat Boston, Denver off the Wagon and Forkly, that sizzled at Mile High Station. The porkorific bonanza, which also included craft beers from some of the state best breweries -- Crooked Stave, Strange, Ska, Avery, Prost, Hogshead Brewery, Wynkoop/Breckenridge, Oksar Blues and several others -- pimped bacon in every guise imaginable, not to mention elaborate bacon-centric table displays, some of which would make a pig snort rainbows and unicorns.
Some of the culinary highlights: Uncle's Chinese bacon ramen, tucked into take-out containers and served with chopsticks and plastic baggies of spice powder; Blackbelly Catering's bacon and pork belly Reuben; Oskar Blues Brewery's caramel bacon studded with pralines; Euclid Hall's smoke confit pork belly with bacon-infused whiskey and eggnog whip; the bacon and goat cheese tart from the Corner House, slated to open before the end of the year; and the fantastic dry-cured, thick-cut bacon strips from Denver Bacon Company, the new company that Justin Brunson, owner-chef of Masterpiece Deli and the forthcoming Old Major, recently launched after nearly two years of pig dreaming.
Brunson, who formed the company with his business partner and friend Eric Clayman, is currently pimping his bacon at Masterpiece, and, he told me, King Soopers is also interested in carrying it -- and it's easy to see why: This isn't just bacon; it's Godly bacon, sweet, smoked with peachwood and effervescently porky.
I was part of the swine-centric crowd last night, stuffing bacon down my gullet like a heathen, and, of course, took a pig's pen worth of photos, which you can view on the following pages. In addition, we've also got a bacon-and-beer slide show up to rub your snout in the revelry.

Launched in 1901 to serve the growing number of Highland-area Catholics, St. James had a nebulous status for five years after the pastors of St. Brigid and St. Agnes parishes objected to the "dismemberment" of their parishes and appealed to Rome. With those objections withdrawn by 1906, Father E. Earle Willett was appointed the first pastor, just four days before the first Mass was offered on September 7. Father Willett, pastor for forty-eight years, developed the habit of traveling the parish on foot, visiting families on their front porches.
Ten days after the first Mass, a school, staffed by the Ursuline Sisters of Mount St. Joseph, opened with thirty students. The parish quickly outgrew the church and school, and construction began for new church, dedicated in 1913, and a new school, dedicated in 1924. Today, committed lay teachers staff the school and an early childhood development program, established in 1996. Both operate at capacity enrollment.
The Louisville Landmarks Commission nominated the church, rectory, and school in 1980 for listing in the National Register of Historic Places Inventory. The parish clustered with St. Brigid in 1994.
The two parishes collaborate in outreach programs, including the St. Vincent de Paul Society, Highlands Community Ministries, Dare to Care, and many other charitable endeavors in the community; also with other area churches in Habitat for Humanity. They share staff but operate independently, and neither parish has lost its identity.

text: 'Project Runway' Winner Michelle Lesniak Franklin Reveals What's Next 7:00 AM PDT 4/29/2013 by Kimberly Nordyke FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Lifetime The season 11 champion talks to THR about the show's first "teams" edition and why she nearly quit at one point. Michelle Lesniak Franklin, a 34-year-old clothing designer from Portland, Ore., survived the inaugural "teams" edition of Project Runway to become the 11th-season winner. While Franklin struggled throughout the first part of the season -- she always seemed to be on the losing team -- she was finally able to shine as the designers were able to show more of their own aesthetic toward the final weeks of the Lifetime competition. PHOTOS: Dressed to Kill: THR Shoots the Stars of 'Project Runway' In the finale, Franklin appeared much more organized and prepared than fellow finalists Patricia Michaelsand Stanley Hudson to take the win, with comes with a $100,000 cash prize from L'Oreal Paris to start her own line, a fashion spread in Marie Claire magazine, a 2013 Lexus GS 350, a $50,000 technology suite by HP and Intel and the opportunity to design and sell an exclusive collection at Lord & Taylor. After the finale, Franklin talked to The Hollywood Reporter about her big win and what she's working on now. The Hollywood Reporter: In the finale, it seemed like the prize was yours to lose. Did you feel that way at the time? Michelle Lesniak Franklin: It did to me. I unpacked all my garment bags after I got to New York, looked around the room and thought I might win. I loved with I did and felt strongly about it, but this time I was so prepared, and everyone else wasn't. THR: Were you shocked that Patricia and especially Stanley were scrambling at the last minute? Franklin: It was shocking to me. I even had it down to that's the look that coming first, second, the jewelry, the shoes. I had everything done. The hair and makeup, I had already thought of. All my garments were completed. It was just bizarre to me that the other three [including fourth-place finisher DanielEsquivel]didn't. THR: It seemed like you were always on a losing team and weren't perceived as a front-runner early on as a result. Do you think things would have been different if this season hadn't featured the teams twist? Franklin: I think so, most definitely. Because I was always on the losing team, it felt like the judges pegged me as a loser, and they never truly got to see my looks and work until halfway through the season, and it was, "Oh, where has she been?" Well, I've been here the whole time. THR: What went through your mind when Michael Kors was revealed as the guest judge for the final runway show? Franklin: I was actually really happy because he was coming in without favorites and without the personality factor. I think that there were some designers that made it really far in the competition because the judges loved their personality, and I'm not gonna name names, but he, coming in, didn't know us. It was a fresh start for him, a fresh slate of fashion. VIDEO: Heidi Klum, Tim Gunn on 'Project Runway's' Longevity THR: In the teaser for Thursday's reunion special [airing at 9 p.m.], you reveal that you almost quit during the season, but viewers didn't see that. Can you elaborate on what happened? Franklin: After the Marie Claire challenge, when everyone [else went to Europe], and I was almost kicked off the show [she came in last but the judges gave her a second chance], I was going to quit. I actually sat down with the producers and said, "I'm done. Take me off the show." THR: What convinced you to stay? Franklin: I think once the emotions cleared, I realized that you only live your life once. Why have any regrets? And I'm not a quitter; that's not the type of person I am. I'm tenacious and a go-getter. So yeah, I just ate a cookie and had a glass of wine, and went back in the game. THR: What's next for you? Franklin: I'm going to get an accountant to figure out how to do my taxes with all that money, and start hiring help and building a team. I'm a one-woman show right now, and I can't do it anymore. It's too tough. It's time for an expansion and to take over the world. THR: Are you working on a collection now? Franklin: I have stuff currently in stores in Portland that I can't keep up with production on. I'll do a couple of fashion shows this summer and fall and most likely have a bigger launch in spring 2014. THR: Any plans to relocate to New York City? Franklin: Currently, I am planning on staying in Portland. I love this town, and I don't think there's any reason or need to leave. I'll have to travel more … but I love what Portland has to offer. THR: What was your motivation for going on Project Runway? Franklin: To win and start my career. I didn't go to school for fashion. I cut my job a little over two years ago to do this. I wanted to use Project Runway as a commercial and a stage to present my aesthetic. It's huge. More people around the United States -- and the world -- now know what kind of clothing I make. I wouldn't have had that. THR: Was there anything you learned about yourself or your work while on the show? Franklin: I definitely honed my aesthetic while being on the show. I learned that I'm really tenacious and very driven. I am organized and have strong convictions. I truly loved and believed in everything I did and fought for it, and that's pretty powerful. THR: What was it like having Tim Gunn as a mentor? Franklin: He was always really supportive of me. He pulled me aside, week after week, when my teams was losing and losing, and was always supportive of my work and told me, "You're doing really good." He really is a fantastic mentor and gave me great advice throughout the entire competition and truly is one of the ultimate mentors in life. THR: If you could design for one celebrity, who would it be? Franklin: Rooney Mara. She's just kind of moody-looking and there's a bit of androgyny about her that I enjoy. THR: Overall, how would you describe your Project Runway experience? Franklin: It's the hardest thing I've ever done, but I made best friends for life and I miss them dearly. Watch a clip from the season 11 finale, in which Franklin is named the winner, below. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Kimberly Nordyke email@example.com @thr


text: I love the process of making art. It gives me the opportunity to explore, to play, to laugh and to meditate on the dualities of life: the Apollonian and Dionysian tendencies that define who we are and are often a source of tension within us. A similar dynamic tension is what I look for in my work, through the interplay of dark and light, literally and metaphorically, and in the struggle between control and abandon. My studio contains an extensive collection of what is commonly called 'junk': broken toys, contents of childhood treasure boxes, strange seed pods, champagne corks, wood scraps, all with the potential to become transformed. My challenge is to incorporate these dissonant forms into compositions that hold both the eye and the mind. The alchemists dreamed of turning lead into gold, a potent metaphor relevant to my art making. An impossible dream, yet always something to strive for.

My soul, wait in silence for God only,
for my hope is from Him.
Psalm 62:5
The human mind has an incredible ability to overwork a problem. This can take the form of talking while someone else is offering an opinion or even a solution; this extra effort can be shaped in the form of analysis; then, there is that special challenge of incessant worry. There can be many expressions of self-directed problem solving. I have and do use all of them; sometimes I use several at the same time. However, the last time that I checked in on how well this approach has worked in resolving hard situations, my own efforts had accomplished getting me a lot more grey hair than great answers.
I think that the noise and the self generated clutter simply get in the way of real solution. God says to listen, be calm, and be silent; I will speak. The Lord knows us and our world far better than we ever will, and He wants for us to live in a form of peace that comes from deep within and that opens up our hearts and our minds to receive the wisdom of His eternal word. When we have the faith that is necessary to remain silent, we can be assured that God will speak. For me, the real test comes in waiting and in listening long enough, for I tend to want the voice that provides the solution to utter those profound truths that I think that I need in a very quick and decisive manner.
The real problem isn't in the decisiveness or even in the responsiveness of God; rather, the disconnect lies in my receptivity and in my understanding of time. For people who know Him, God is never silent. He has spoken, and His voice has remained clear and unchanged from the days of our first ancestors. As I am in Christ, I am surrounded by a chorus of hope speaking voices. They sing to me from the pages of His written word, they touch my pain and my joy in the form of His community of faith, and the Spirit of Christ spreads the song of truth throughout the cells of my being.

A pilgrim walked through difficult landscapes.
"As he traveled, he saw a great deal of suffering and conflict, getting more discouraged each day. Finally, he happened upon a shop that promised him his heart's desires. The pilgrim asked for peace – within his family and the world. He asked for health, for freedom for all, and many other good things.
The shopkeeper, looking very downcast, apologised to the man. "I should have explained. We don't supply the fruits here. We only supply the seeds."
In transitions, God provides the seeds; what we do with them is up to us. We can toss them in a drawer and forget about them. Or we can plant them in the garden and wait to see what grows next spring. God can work with anything – good and bad decisions alike – and still help us create our lives out of the choices we've made."

Umbriana is everything it was advertised to be and more. My direct communications with the owner assured me that I was not going to be disappointed in my choice. Karen was responsive, helpful and there were no hidden costs or surprises. Her directions were clear and when we reached the property, it was more than we had dared to hope. Her fabulous housekeeper, Triestina, was there to greet us and we had arranged for her prepare our dinner that first night. As I glanced at the kitchen counter, I could tell we were in for a treat! Everything was fresh, vegetables and herbs from her garden, fresh pasta, fabulous mozzarella and chicken that needed nothing but a fork to cut. Our first night was Magic, ten of us sitting outside under the pergola being served fabulous food by the sweetest woman in Italy. We were all speechless....pretty amazing for our group. When Triestina left, the kitchen was spotless. The house is beautiful, comfortable and unbelievably well equipped. We needed nothing, everything was there. The gardens are beyond beautiful and the pool area brought hours of pleasure to young and old alike. In the evening we would sit outside near the pool and watch as the children chased fireflies. Karen provides an informative binder with everything you could wish to know about the house and the area. There are restaurant recommendations which were terrific and we followed them and were not disappointed. The proximity of the house to the Umbrian hill towns is perfect. Within a ninety minute drive are: Assisi, Spoleto, Deruta, Perugia, Todi (a few miles away) just to name a few. We visited all of of those mentioned, as well as a beautiful mountain lake resort called Lake Trasimeno. We came from the San Francisco Bay Area and it was worth every dollar we spent. Our goal is to return in a few years and visit this magic place again. You will not be disappointed.

So… I borrowed the following quotes from another blog because I have never read them:
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us. –Helen Keller
To stand in your now, looking forward with deliberate intent and anticipation of what is to come, is infinitely more satisfying than to stand in your now, looking back, retracing your steps as to how you got where you are.–Abraham-Hicks
They were part of a nice blog post…that did not speak to me…but these little quotes spoke to me. They rather rattled my cage and the thoughts stuck in it. Let's see if I can articulate…
I will be honest here and say that sticking to my resolution that I will no longer post on Celtic Flame at all and only rarely on the others is difficult for me. My practical Buddhist brain asks me why I bother then if I am not going to add anything helpful to the discussions. My cranky lizard brain demands that I stop reading at all since it can have no satisfaction by setting some of the stupidity to rights…or at least by calling it out for the stupidity it is!!! But, I am starting to find I am becoming more removed from it since I am not using valuable energy to formulate hopefully helpful answers anymore.
When this blog went private, so many of you told me of your reasons for no longer posting on or even reading the boards anymore…I understand even better now.
Why do I keep reading? Part habit, part wanting to stay informed about the happenings, the opinions…the occasional altercation…I know, I am a rubber-necker! But who can resist the morons when they tap dance on a train wreck?!?!?!
But since I changed the blog, other doors have opened for my energy, even in my own head. Other thoughts are formulating in different ways because we are a smaller more open group. (I feel the need here to apologize to anyone who was gearing up for a very active group here…we have slowed down…mainly because I wanted it to. Don't get me wrong – the number of members that we have is incredibly gratifying…I feel more like a rock star than a loser now that there are so many "friends!" But I did feel very overwhelmed there for a bit. I am figuring this out, and we can be as active as we want.)
My current thoughts are spawned by the continuing questions about how the BNs do things, make and design dresses, etc., as if there are rules that must be followed…fsm forbid anyone should be creative on her own…
You may remember this from my response to the first CCD: [A] thing I have stopped doing is letting the nebulous "rules" about how these dresses are "supposed" to look influence me. The only thing that influences me anymore is what the client wants. I suppose if I made OTRs I would pay more attention to the trends…or maybe not. The fact that the dress styles actually have very little to do with the dancing offends my artistic sense of what is supposed to be important! The costume should complement the dancing, not hinder it. The heavy, stiff dresses that have developed over the past 20 years are actually quite astounding to me. As a choreographer, dancer, artistic director and professor, I stood my ground many a time with a costume designer who tried to force an undanceable design onto a dance! The dance and dancer are most important and the role of the costume is to enhance the message and look that the choreographer wants. It is not the role of the costume designer to force change and accommodation…I fired or failed those designers who could not understand their complementary role!
Don't get me wrong…I love making these wild, amazing, "ridiculous" pieces of wearable art. These fanciful confections have developed in a very specific environment and would not be worn by anyone else! But I find that I am increasingly interested in the comfort of the dancer.
I would very interested in that particular moment in time when someone decided that the ID dress needed to be more prominent in the dancing picture, because from there ID costuming evolved with no real thought as to the dancer or the dancing. I think this strange mindset is what informs the creation of these dresses still. So many questions about dress construction make it clear that the triangular, wide, flat, stiff shape of the dresses is considered to be traditional! Granted, there also seems to be a renewed interest in the history of ID costuming which may or may not shoot that thought down…
But what is interesting to me are the objections, subtle or not, to dresses moving towards the soft skirt again, and my fascination is partially because it is still in my head that the dresses still need to be wider than any normal person would wear…although some of the fashion links on the boards have shown the fashionistas to be wearing pretty poofy skirts!
There is also, and still, this irritating idea that somehow the BNs are the gods of ID costuming who must be emulated at all costs! Why? Not too long ago, someone who claimed to just be making a comeback to ID pointed out that all of the current dresses look the same, no matter who made them!!! I have to agree! We are ALL doing panel dresses right now. There are more folks trying to solve the soft skirt problem in many creative ways…but how many times have you read the same question on the boards: "How do ED/Gavin/SR, etc, etc, etc…make their skirts look like that?"
Susan said something to me about how the harder people try to be different, the more they conform… Wouldn't you say that most dancers want to set themselves apart from the other dancers? So out come the wild colors, the sequins, the crystals, the feathers, the 3-d flowers, etc, etc, etc…and what happens? They not only all get lost in the cacophany of dazzling color, they all look the same!!
I have no earth shattering solution…I love making these dresses. Each one is my baby. When one client says subtle and elegant, that's what I do. When another asks for more sparkle, I do that, too.
I love our new tunic dresses mainly because I think they are constructed with the MOVING dancer in mind. But being panel dresses, am I a sheep, too? I think Susan and I, like so many other dressmakers, were interested in a different shape for designs so we were drawn to the panel look at probably the same time as everyone else! I am quite sure it was a lone dressmaker somewhere who came out with the first one, but the second that a BN produced one, they were given the credit and proclaimed GODS once again…gag.
What is my freaking point? Well, maybe it is that we all as dressmakers ought to slam the door on what OUGHT to be and open a new one doing what we want to do. Yeah, when a client comes in asking for a dress like ED, you have to deal (or not), but when I expressed that I wanted to explore these soft tunic dresses, we got 3 clients in a row! And we just turned down someone who wanted us to make a new jacket to match her ED skirt…I understand what she wants, but I am the wrong dressmaker for her! I am not interested and told her the reasons why. I suppose I could simply have said that we are booked up for quite a while (as we are), but I actually felt a bit insulted that I would be asked to essentially recreate someone else's work, so I explained why I was not interested in taking her on.
Maybe this is it…newbies or not, we are each valuable artisans in our own right. Perhaps not every one of us calls ourselves an artist, but we are. Maybe our first attempts are less than stellar and actually petrify brain cells when we look back, but they are still created by us is "artiste mode," sublime or not!
When a young choreographer is beginning her journey, yes she looks to the masters for information, inspiration, and guidelines, but she is also taught and guided to find her own voice. The point is to bring to life her OWN vision. We as dressmakers need to change our mindsets to #1 realize that the BNs are NOT the masters (far from it), and #2 that our visions are just as valid as any one else's! Maybe they are not all ready for prime-time right out of the gate, but we have to start somewhere.
So, open a door…and I'll get off my soapbox before the swelling music in my head deafens me…

Hey, you, wonderful islander!
Yes, you.
You just ate a perfect breakfast at Holly B's, got into your car and drove past all the cute retail shops in town and thought to yourself, "This is such a fantastic place to live."
Then you got into your car in the ferry lane. Off to do some holiday shopping in Burlington, not thinking about how shopping elsewhere could impact the islands we live in.
It does, of course. Every single dollar we spend elsewhere just…goes. It doesn't help send our kids to school. It doesn't help pave our roads. It doesn't help preserve our jobs.
It doesn't keep all the little businesses we love in business. And I think we can all agree that we've lost too many favorite businesses in the past couple of years.
Our islands are each like a big terrarium. If you take out all the resources (in this case, cash), the terrarium denizens (in this case, our businesses and the jobs they create) won't survive. Even the seasonal inflow of tourist dollars can't offset the negative impacts of our own off-island shopping.
Spending $100 locally keeps $68* circulating in our community. Spending $100 on the mainland keeps…$0 in our community.
Shopping off-island is a zero-sum game. Sure, you'll maybe save a few bucks (but very few, considering the cost of gas and a ferry ticket). But the impacts to our community far offset these gains. And the gains of those few bucks could ultimately cost you – or your favorite retailer or waiter – a job.
The more we shop elsewhere, the less our local retailers can pay their employees. These employees, in turn, can no longer afford to live here and they leave, thus reducing our tax base and causing many of our businesses to struggle to survive.
The more we shop elsewhere, the more our property and other tax rates will go up because less retail tax income will be collected locally. Let me restate that: when we go to the mainland to shop, we cause our own property taxes to go up.
Not to mention the fact that it's gonna be a major bummer when there's no one around to serve up a pizza or sell us a widget when we desperately need one some Saturday afternoon in March.
So, you're back in your car, and now the ferry is loading. Drive away! Please, during this jolliest of seasons, do your best to keep our beautiful, diverse island economy alive.

Amazon opened the fourth Kindle Store in France this morning.
The Amazon.fr site, previously restricted to physical books, will now give French customers access to 35,000 local language e-books from local publishers, as well as 825,000 e-books in other languages, mostly English.
In addition, the store will be selling the new entry-level Kindle for 99 Euro (with free shipping).
The price discrepancy with the US is largely down to there being no ad-supported device available in France, for now at least.
The total selection of e-books is slightly lower than the US due to territorial restrictions, meaning that some publishers in the US don't own the rights to sell certain titles in France. For self-publishers, if you own the rights to publish your work in France (which you will unless you have sold them), your work will already be on sale there as of this morning.
It also means that many French language titles will be available to French Canadian readers through the US store (where appropriate rights were retained by the French publishers).
But the biggest effect will be on the digital market in France. Up until today, French customers were redirected to the US store if they wished to purchase e-books or e-readers.
For purchasing a Kindle, this meant high shipping costs, expensive import duties, delayed order fulfillment, and, up until very recently, instructions and menus only in English. Today's move will radically reduce the price of Amazon e-readers in France and should stimulate the local market (which is just behind Germany in terms of development).
On top of that, e-books will be a lot cheaper too. France, like most of the rest of the world, was one of the countries where Amazon levied a $2 surcharge on all e-books, before adding sales tax, which effectively added $2.30 onto the cost of most e-books for French readers.
That has now been abolished and French readers can enjoy a range of books at prices starting at less than 1 Euro ($1.35). In addition, they will also have access to a huge range of free e-books for the first time, as these also attracted the $2 Amazon surcharge.
As with the launch of the Spanish site for physical books, Amazon face operating restrictions here which will affect their competitiveness. France has long-standing legislation which allows publishers to fix the price of print books.
The law is even more restrictive than Spain's as Amazon will only be allowed to discount all books (including e-books) by 5%. This law will allow publishers to keep e-book prices artificially high, in an effort to protect print sales.
There is no doubt that while this law is in place, it will slow the uptake of e-books. It means that we will probably see a similar path of growth to Germany, rather than the quicker digital changeover happening in the UK (where no such law exists).
That law, however, could be under threat. The European authorities have all sorts of regulations against price-fixing. While they have turned a blind eye to agreements relating to print books, they appear to be cracking down on similar arrangements for e-books, and raided the offices of several French publishers earlier this year, and the investigation has since widened to several EU countries (including Germany and Spain).
It should also be noted that this law only applies to local publishers, and Amazon are free to discount foreign language titles.
As with Spain, this presents an opportunity to self-publishers who translate their work as the local language competition will be priced very high. For those worried about translation costs (which are significant), see this radical solution proposed by Scott Nicholson, where he is sharing royalties with translators, rather than paying up-front fees.
I have reached an agreement with a French translator on that same basis to prepare Let's Get Digital for release, en français. I will keep you updated with that as it progresses.
A lot of speculation will now center on where Amazon will open the next Kindle Store.
Spain and Italy seem the most likely, given that Amazon has already struck deals with local publishers in both countries, Spanish newspapers are reporting that the Kindle will launch their before the year is out, and they have been hiring for an Italian Kindle team.
Either way, I don't think we will be waiting another six months for the next international expansion.
EDIT: Don't forget to update your Amazon France Author Central page.

Former D.C. Reporter Flees to Dubai, Writes Novel
It wasn't a big surprise when in January Karin Tanabe left "CLICK," Politico's gossip blog. Writers have been abandoning that blog like it's the Costa Concordia cruise ship. But for a while, it wasn't clear what happened. Where had Tanabe gone? What was she doing?
Then BuzzFeed broke the news that Tanabe was in the process of having a novel published about her stint at Politico.
We were able to get in touch with her and she told FBDC that the book, titled "The Capitolist" is still in its early stages. "Like all fiction books, you need a full manuscript to submit," she said, adding that the first draft had been written.
Tanabe's not revealing details on the book just yet. But Publisher's Market Place described Tanabe's "The Capitolist" as follows:
"[A] 20-something journalist leaves a cushy NYC magazine job for DC's hottest (and most cut-throat) political rag, where she uncovers a juicy scandal involving a senator that could make or break her career…"
Tanabe said she's "very excited" to be working with Atria, which is publishing her book. Atria is an imprint of Simon & Schuster.
As for her current whereabouts, Tanabe told us she's in Dubai working for ITP Publishing, a British magazine company.

A 30-year -old man was seen for acquired anhidrosis. There was no systemic disease. Vasomotor functions were normal. Biopsy showed normal sweat glands and ducts. Intravenous injection of neostigmine could produce profuse sweating on the face, trunk and arms. The disorder is likely to be due to a peripheral dysautonomia selectively affecting the sudomotor function.

It's only fitting that a bunch of new-look Pacific West Conference teams take to the court in commissioner Bob Hogue's first year on the job.
For a variety of reasons, Brigham Young-Hawaii, Hawaii Pacific, Hawaii-Hilo and Chaminade have all restocked and reloaded extensively over the offseason. No team has fewer than five newcomers.
The bad news is, it could be tough for any of those teams to get a good look at postseason action in volleyball -- a team will require an at-large berth from the NCAA.
Because the PacWest is still waiting for recent additions Notre Dame de Namur (Calif.) and Dixie State (Utah) to become full-fledged NCAA members, the conference doesn't have the requisite six NCAA institutions for its regular-season winners to receive automatic postseason berths this year, Hogue explained. That includes volleyball, but if things go as planned, the PacWest will start to receive invitations next year.
Any of the seven schools (including Arizona's Grand Canyon University) can still win PacWest conference regular-season titles.
When they gathered for the Pacific West Conference volleyball media day last week, the consensus among the conference's four Hawaii-based coaches was that nobody knew where they stood this year.
Even the top dog is at a loss to predict what will happen.
"Hilo has recruited some great players, HPU has recruited some great players, and Chaminade is always tough," Brigham Young-Hawaii coach Wilfred Navalta said. "We had some problems with Grand Canyon last year, so I really feel the competition and the parity will be much closer. To me, we're not the preseason favorites but I think we'll be contenders for the title."
He'll soon find out.
Play for three of Hawaii's four NCAA Division II teams starts in the 14th annual Hawaiian Style Classic this week in Hilo, running tomorrow through Saturday.
Hawaii Pacific opens up against Alaska-Fairbanks tomorrow, while Hawaii-Hilo takes on Briar Cliff (Utah) and Cal State-Monterey Bay on Friday and Chaminade plays UA-Fairbanks and Briar Cliff the same day.
The Hawaii teams will not play each other in the tournament.
Nineteenth-ranked Brigham Young-Hawaii plays in the Cal State-Los Angeles/Cal-Poly Pomona Tournament on Friday and Saturday to open its season.
Coach: Wilfred Navalta (23rd year, 509-97, .840 winning percentage)
Preseason pick: First place (6 of 7 first-place votes)
Preseason all-conferece: LeeAnn Mapu S (preseason Player of the Year), Noelle Filimoeatu OH, Faylynn Merrick MB.
The losses of outside hitters Tuli Peters (PacWest best 5.56 kills per game) and Christina Bobik for personal reasons before their senior years hurt, as did the departure of Roseanne Vea on a mission to Portugal. Coach Wilfred Navalta estimated that his team lost 50 percent of its offense and defense after finishing the season ranked No. 15 nationally last year.
Now, the No. 19 Seasiders, picked to win the conference by the PacWest coaches, will rely heavily on preseason Player of the Year LeeAnn Mapu to get the team's many newcomers involved: Navalta needs to incorporate five true freshmen into the mix.
While the other three Hawaii-based PacWest schools will battle it out in the 14th Annual Hawaiian Style Classic in Hilo, BYUH kicks off the season in California for the Cal State Los Angeles/Cal Poly-Pomona Tournament, then hosts the Hawaii Invitational in Laie at the end of the month.
Coach: Glennie Adams (15th year, 154-164, .480 winning percentage)
Preseason pick: Second place (1 of 7 first-place votes)
Preseason all-conference picks: Evelyn Bluthenthal MB/OH, Trina Kauliakamoa, OH.
The Silverswords enjoy the most senior leadership of any of the Hawaii-based PacWest schools, with preseason all-conference blocker/hitter Evelyn Bluthenthal, libero Krista Catian, and middle blocker Lila Sapolu, but coach Glennie Adams thinks chemistry will be the key for Chaminade this year.
Trina Kauliakamoa, the team leader in kills last year at 4.23 per game, and Bluthenthal at 3.70 will provide the 'Swords with the same one-two punch they enjoyed last season.
"We have a really great group of (five) freshmen coming in, and our setter, (Tatiana Alvino) we're really glad to be playing with her," Bluthenthal said.
Adams was still tinkering with her starting six, and also has the freshmen, including Alvino, to work into the mix.
"I have to agree with Wil (Navalta) that on any given day any one of us can beat up on each other," Adams said. "I don't think there's one team that stands out ahead of the rest."
Coach: Daryl Kapis (2nd year, 9-15, .380 winning percentage)
Preseason pick: Fourth place
Preseason all-conference picks: none
Now that he's gotten acclimated to his team, second-year coach Daryl Kapis thinks his Sea Warriors -- boasting nine newcomers -- could be quite formidible this year.
He's hoping setter Jackie Tomas, a transfer from Pierce College (Calif.), can lead the team to big things. She was tops in California junior college assists last season.
"I think last year, it was me getting to know all the girls," said Kapis, who previously compiled a 63-27 mark at San Jose City College. "That takes a long time if you don't know anybody. This year, I know all the players we recruited and all the players who are returning."
The graduated Barbara Martin's 4.94 kills per game (third in the conference) will be missed. Outside hitter Melissa Aki is the team's lone senior.
Of the new faces, Kapis expects four to start instantly. Candice Kolkka, a freshman from California, will challenge Tomas for the setter spot. Five are junior college transfers.
"Like Glennie (Adams) said, our team will also be about chemistry," Kapis said. "It's just a matter of them meshing."
Coach: Dr. Bruce Atkinson (first year)
Preseason pick: Sixth place
Brigham Young-Hawaii alum Dr. Bruce Atkinson becomes Hawaii-Hilo's third coach in as many seasons, and faces the tall task of returning the once proud program to respectability.
The Vulcans went with a massive recruiting effort -- adding 13 players -- to replace the departed Taina Savage's 5.50 kills per game. There isn't a senior on Hilo's roster this year.
Sophomore blocker/hitter Kaniu Hernandez is the team's only returning starter. Atkinson is counting on a pair of Brazilians out of Seminole State (OK) College, Josimara Pinheiro and Fabiane Seben, for some instant offense.
"They're both real good kids, academically strong, and they're going to be able to help us out quite a bit on the court," said Atkinson, who went 28-11 last year at the University of Texas at Brownsville. "We're excited, hopefully trying to be a little more competetive than we've been in recent years."
The Vulcans host the 14th Hawaiian Style Classic running tomorrow through Saturday, featuring Chaminade, Hawaii Pacific, Cal-State Monterey Bay, Alaska-Fairbanks, Rollins College (Fla.), Briar Cliff (Iowa), Texas Woman's University and Houston Baptist.

The recommended procedure for painting a patio door is as follows. Proper preparation of the wood is key. For more about painting see How to Paint Interior Doors.
1Hang your doors unfinished for two to three days and then remove them from the hinges. This will allow the wood to adjust to the temperature and humidity levels of that location.
2Thoroughly clean the door surfaces, clearing off any dust or debris. Note any slight imperfections or blemishes. Sand with 120-grit sandpaper to smooth these problem areas. Always sand with the grain to avoid cross-grain scratching.
3After sanding, wipe the door clean again.
4Apply at least one primer base coat and let it dry thoroughly. Apply a second coat if the wood is porous.
5Apply a minimum of two coats of finish paint, making sure to allow for adequate drying time between applications.
6Rehang the door after it is thoroughly dry.
7Install airtight and watertight seals if the patio door opens to the outside.

Theater review: 'Dead man walking' takes audience on an amazing journey
By: Cherrelle Marable
Director Russell Vandenbroucke did an outstanding job recreating Tim Robbins's play "Dead Man Walking," based on the book of the same name, by Sister Helen Prejean. The play, which premiered at U of L's Thrust Theater on Jan. 29, centered on a major controversial issue in the United States: the death penalty. The play conquered the unenviable task of showing various views of capital punishment, and did not suggest that the writer of the play may have felt a certain way. In fact, the play was completely unbiased and allowed the audience to make their own judgment, based on the situation at hand.
"Dead Man Walking" takes us on an uneasy, troublesome, and essentially spiritual journey, lead by the two main characters: Matthew Poncelet (portrayed by David Galloway) and Sr. Helen Prejean (portrayed by Megg Ward). Matthew Poncelet is a man awaiting execution for the rape and murder of Hope Percy and Walter Delacroix, two teenagers on Lovers Lane. Helen Prejean is a nun, known for tutoring and helping the children living in a populated, black New Orleans housing project. Forgoing her work in her faith, she agrees to serve as spiritual counselor to Poncelet as he awaits execution.
Prejean's love for Poncelet, a convicted murderer on death row, astonished her peers. Helping a man accused of murdering a young, innocent couple made the parents of the victims feel betrayed as they wanted to see Poncelet dead. Sister Prejean showed compassion, love and kindness for the accused killer, up to the end, where he finally confessed his role in the young couples tragic death, and later dies by lethal injection.
The set design of the play was magnificent! The play takes place at the Louisiana State Penitentiary, in Angola, 1984; the costumes of the characters made the audience feel like they were in the same time period. Little props, designed to go along with the play, also allowed the audience to follow along with them, creating a sense of consistency from scene to scene.
Ward captivated the audience as her character Sr. Helen Prejean and Galloway did a superb job as Matthew Poncelet. Ward's authentic accent actually had me actually believing she was from New Orleans. Overall, the entire cast did an amazing job. Watching Ward and Galloway interacting on stage made one feel like they were actually a part of the story, experiencing the emotional rollercoaster the two endured and dealing with the controversial and complicated issues of capital punishment.
The entire cast consisted of 18 actors portraying nearly 50 different characters. Senior, Tamara Kamara is a double major in Theater and French, who portrayed four entirely different characters. Her roles were: Hope, murder victim and girlfriend of Walter, Emily-Hopes' sister, a guard, and a support victim.
"A lot of hard work and dedication went into this play, we had less than two months to prepare, but we had countless numbers of rehearsals where we were able to learn our roles " explained Kamara; she continued, "I hope the audience appreciates the art of theater, and the message of the story is conveying."
Director Vandenbroucke believes "theater is a place where a group of people can sit in a room and communicate important issues to the audience;" he goes on to say "that the issues of capital punishment have been happening for a long time. In the play we see how violence affects the victim's families, (The Delacroix family and the Percy family), and we also see how violence affects the family of Matthew Poncelet. Where does the violence end once it begins? The cycle of violence is never ending." He continued: "I am grateful for the university, and the department that understands the importance of theater and how important it was to work on the play, Dead Man Walking."
Clearly, Dead Man Walking has made a huge impact on theater lovers:
"This is the first time ever seeing 'Dead Man Walking' and I have to say, I was so touched. When Poncelet was confessing his part in the murders, you could hear the remorse in his voice and see the guilt on his face. I felt compassion for this character; I wanted someone to give him a second chance. All the characters did such a phenomenal job that with each scene, I felt like I was feeling what they were feeling", remarked audience member Nikka Norman, a junior at Spalding University. "One of the best plays I have seen at the University of Louisville" said Louisville resident, and fellow audience member, Deborah Williams. I would definitely encourage those who have not seen the play, to go see it next time you have the opportunity, because it is worth experiencing.

Gears for Android is a heavily modified port of the famous "gears" demo to Android.
The Gears demo is an open source project intended to help developers learn how to create OpenGL ES programs on Android. The Gears demo was originally written by Brian Paul as part of the Mesa3D project. My implementation includes variations for Java/OpenGL ES 1.x, Java/C/OpenGL ES 1.x and Java/C/OpenGL ES 2.0. I have also added several features not found in the original implementation including touch screen support, VBOs and an on-screen FPS counter.
The FPS (frames-per-second) counter is often used as a benchmark metric for graphics programs. On Android the frame rate is limited by v-sync (typically 60 FPS) which is the fastest rate that a display can refresh the screen. Since Gears is capable of rendering much faster than v-sync on most devices it provides limited benchmarking value.

How to Change a DBA
When a business operates under a name other than its legal name, it is referred to as a "doing business as" name, or DBA. These names are also called fictitious business names, trade names or assumed names. Registration of DBAs is usually a county level function, although you can obtain or change a DBA name for your small business through a state agency. The procedure for changing a DBA name, however, will vary somewhat from one jurisdiction to another. If you decide to change an existing DBA, you need to follow a two-stage process. First, you must file the official name change through the appropriate government agency. Second, you need to notify your customers and update your bank accounts and documents.
Amending a DBA
Conduct a name search to determine if the new DBA you want to use is available. When you register the name, no one else may use it, at least within the county of registration. For the same reason, you can't use a DBA that is already in use. Many state governments maintain searchable online business-name databases. You can find a list of state agencies on the U.S. Small Business Administration's website. If there is no statewide listing for your state, contact your county clerk's office. County clerk's offices maintain lists of DBA names in use within the county.
Obtain the form required to file a DBA name change. This is often called an amendment to DBA name-registration form. You can get a copy of the form from your county clerk's office, although many state and county governments have downloadable versions available online. In some jurisdictions, you can complete and file the form online.
Complete the DBA form with the requested information. You will need your old DBA name and the date you registered it as well as the address of the business in the county. If you do business in more than one county, you may want to change the DBA name in each county because your right to the exclusive use of the name may not extend outside the county where the business is located.
Follow the instructions to submit the form by mailing a printed copy or filing it online if that option is available. Enclose a check or money order for the fee. For online submissions, you will need a credit card or debit card.
Publish a notice of the DBA name change in a local newspaper if your state or county law requires you to do so. In some jurisdictions, you must publish a DBA registration or change for several successive weeks. Once the notice has appeared, file copies taken from the newspaper with your county clerk's office.
Updating Information
Take a copy of your amended DBA name registration to your bank. One of the benefits of using a DBA name is that you can accept checks made out to the DBA name in payment for goods and services. However, when you change a DBA name, your bank won't process payments under the new name until you provide them a copy of the amended registration.
Notify your customers of the DBA name change. You can post this information at your business location and on your website. Using email or regular mailing lists to send notices of the change is another way to inform your customers. You can also add a notice of the name change to advertisements.
Update physical signs and your website with the new DBA name. You'll also need to change the DBA name on any letterheads, business cards and on documents such as order forms and invoices.

Surrounded by the tranquil vistas of the world-renowned Niagara Escarpment, Milton is located 40 km west of Downtown Toronto on Highway 401. With park-like settings and home to multicultural diversity, Milton enjoys an equal measure of modern amenities, as well as access to shopping, entertainment, sporting facilities and special events throughout the year.
The town took root out of a settlement by Jasper Martin along the Sixteen Mile Creek. Martin was granted 100 acres of land, from the Crown in 1820. Martin later built a grist mill along the creek and created a pond, known as Mill Pond, to power his mill. In 1837 the area had a population of approximately 100 people and was named Milton after the English poet John Milton.
As of 2015, the population in Milton soared above 100,000 residents. It is expected the population will exceed 225,000 by 2031.
As one of North America's faster growing communities, Milton has shown exemplary flexibility to adapt to the growing demands of its diverse residents. A very popular location for families, Milton offers residents the best of urban living coupled with a small town feel. One thing is for sure, there's no shortage of things to do – whether it's exploring the many outdoor activities, taking in the local entertainment or shopping in one of Canada's best outlet malls.

As the weather gets chiller in Paris, sweater become my go-to pieces. For a casual day look, I style my sweater with a pair flare jeans and ankle boots. I love how this look make a simple sweater look chic, polished, and totally stylish. If you're unsure of what color sweater to invest in, opt for black. It's versatile, slimming, and gives you the freedom to play with colorful pieces and accessories. The sweater I'm wearing is from Uniqlo Fall/Winter 2016 Inès de La Fressange collection.

Paperweight Book Review
Hello! This week I will be reviewing Paperweight by Meg Haston.
Paperweight follows the path of a young girl named Stephanie(Stevie) who is signed up for a 60 day treatment facility in New Mexico. Stevie is slowly starving herself by purging and binging because she thinks that she is the reason why her beloved brother is dead. She agrees to go to the facility only because she doesn't think that she will be there long enough to do her any good because her brother's death "anniversary" is coming up. But, with new knowledge coming to her she realizes, maybe she isn't the reason why he died?
This realistic yet tragic tale is amazing and full of emotion as you replay the past and live in the present with Stevie. Her many decisions and tragedies in her life are depressing, yet you keep reading with the urge for more.
This novel is amazing because it is so realistic, and wonderful but depressing at the same time and making you experience so many feelings just like you are right there with Stevie.
Hey guys! So this week I will be reviewing the book Everyday by David Levithan.
This book is about a young soul named A. Everyday A changes bodies. A can wake up as a boy, girl, big, small, anyone really. Except that the body is always the same age as A.
One day A wakes up in a body of a boy. The day was going to turn out normal until A meets a girl who turns out to be the boy's girlfriend. It is love at first sight for A. A skips school with her and takes her to the beach instead. They bond instantly. Later that night, when they are falling asleep, A calls her. He wants her to know that everyday won't be like this. And when A wakes up the next day, he knows one thing. That he must see her again.
This book is the incredible story between these two souls. And A's life with her is complicated enough until someone else might have figured out A's secret. And he might not be the only one like this.
This book is a great paranormal-romance with twists and turns coming out of every corner. It is an amazing book that you would want to read over and over again.
This story is amazing and original and leaves you begging for more. It has many twists and turns and is an incredible tale.
Hello and welcome to The Book Enigma! This is my first post on this blog so, in honor of this first post, I will do a review on the book that really started me off reading! The Lightning Thief from the Percy Jackson!
Now, before I start this review I will give you a quick history of my reading "career". I've read all my life starting young but I only really read the books from my elementary school library. I did read Harry Potter(several times actually) but I eventually ran out of books to read. Fast forward two years to the middle of my first year in middle school. I had met a friend(Varya co-owner of this blog) and we talked about various things like cats and etc. We talked about books sometimes, but not as much as now. Then, one day she started telling me about this random book series about greek mythology. I was interested so later that day I researched it and bought the first book online. Soon I finished the series, eating up each new book with determination. When I finished reading the Percy Jackson books I quickly started the Heros of Olympus(the spin off series) then I found more and more books until I was completely obsessed with novels and in general, reading. And now, 4 years later, here I am.
So, now for my review of The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan:
The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan is the outstanding start to a amazing young-adult fiction(it seems a little like a children's book like Harry Potter to me though) series. It teaches kids and teenagers greek mythology while providing a great story line. The book was actually a story that he made up for his son who has ADHD and dyslexia so all of the demigods(the sons and daughters of a human and a god exp: Hercules, Perseus, etc.) in the series have those two disabilities.
The book starts out as Percy Jackson going to a school field trip, visiting a museum. Everything starts out normal until he gets attacked by one of his teachers who was actually a herpy. Then throughout the day he learns the his best friend Grover is actually a satyr whose told to protect Percy, and that a minotaur is after him. As he flees the city with Grover and his mom the reach Half-Blood hill and is almost alright until the minotaur catches up to him at kidnaps his mom. As him and Grover enter through the mysterious gate on the hill, he find out that he is actually in a greek camp for demigods.
In the camp he meets other campers and even some mythical figures like Chiron(who was actually his history teacher Mr. Burner) and the greek god Dionysus.
He trains there with them to get stronger and to find out who his godly parent is, so that he can save his mom from Hades who thinks that Percy has Zeus's lightning bolt. And throughout his stay there he meets many new friend and even gets a love interest.
This book is an amazing start to this series. You get hooked right away and always crave for more. It is written amazingly and set in modern-day Rhode Island. I personally learned a lot about greek mythology in these books and recommended for everyone interested in the subject and even if your not, you can still get hooked on the fast-paced story line.
This book is great for young readers, because it has kid friendly language and has an amazing storyline and great use of mythology.
