22oz bomber into pint glass
A – Massive yellowish white head took its time to leave nice lacing and receded on the light hazy amber brew, but not very "red" 4
S – Bready caramel notes dominate, slight citrus 3.5
T – Nice malt & hops play, bready malts and equally significant hops 3.5
M – Light body and very drinkable, a sessionable beer for sure. Quality carbonation add to this slightly creamy mouthfeel. 3.5
O – Just exceeding Average all around, grab this beer for an event but not as a substitute for a brew you love 3.5

On tap at Jim's Home Plate Tavern in Tacoma.
Consistently ruddy pour, well-laced. Smell was inoffensive enough to the point of being non-existent. Same would go for the taste, which had a sour finish. Didn't seem very potent. I'm going to give Elysian the benefit of the doubt and guess that this was from a keg on the verge of going bad.

Poured from the bottle into a nonic glass.
A real interesting body color, nearly deep blood red, but also a little hazy looking too unfortunately. Head makes a nice tan and creamy three fingers, thin bubbles, and slowly settles.
Interesting nose, subdued caramel, with an interesting hint of Irish Ale sticky quality. There's just a hint of super sweet cinnamon or something hanging out in the back. Not sure where this is leading, quite small, but something interesting is hiding.
This has to be one of the most neutral and subdued beers I've had. Small malts, hint of light toast, mostly on the finish but not the mid palate. Light creamy body, almost like an English bitter, and perhaps some fruity esters of strawberry like quality hanging out. Finish has a muted pine softness and clove hinting hot spice that matches nicely, but not particularly noticeable.
Everything seems like it's dialed down a notch except for a solid creamy mouthfeel. It's well made but doesn't really make the flavors noticeable or pop out. I really love a good amber ale, but this brew while having great character just feels dumbed down. Not horrid though at least, quite easy drinking too, but just lacking.

Dark amber color with a thick head with low to medium retention.
Delicious fruity aroma of American yeast with notes of honey and biscuit malt.
Flavor of white grapes, earthy hops, some grapefruit, caramel, orange peel, musk and spices. Dry and bitter aftertaste.
Light to medium body with appropriate carbonation.
Very balanced and fruity Red Ale. I am getting to love more and more this style.

22 oz bottle:
Into a pint glass:
A: a somewhat coppery/almost golden red colored body with an awesome foamy one finger white head that dies gracefully and leaves a super amount of thick lacing trying to stay in rings, but actually just clings all over the place (nice show)
S: piney/citrusy hops up front, just a tad of light biscuity malts coming in as it warms just enough to balance
T: bittersweet through the piney/citrusy hops and adding a nice backbone of the biscuity malts, slight caramel tinge gracing the aftertaste, somewhat dry citrusy finish
M: light to medium, fairly sessionable, carbonation has a nice sharpness that is still good for the style and good for me
O: nice hoppy American Red Ale that is still balanced nicely and definitely worthy of many more pours

20oz pint at the Underground's mini-tap takeover for these (mostly) new Elysian brews in Alberta.
This beer appears a slightly hazy, glassy medium copper amber hue, with two slender fingers of puffy, bulbous, and eventually chunky, dirty white ice floe head, which leaves a near solid wall of specked snow rime lace around the glass as things seep southwards.
It smells of grainy, and mildly biscuity caramel malt, a touch of sour breadiness, middling fleshy orange and pithy white grapefruit, and earthy, leafy hops. The taste is semi-sweet bready pale and caramel malt, a bit of steady baker's yeast, simple syrup, subtle muddled citrus, and somewhat zingy leafy, grassy hops.
The bubbles are decently involved and in for the long haul, the body an adequate medium weight, and pretty smooth, with even a coy hint of creaminess. It finishes off-dry, the bready caramel malt, and fleshy anonymous fruit holding up that particular flag, while little else in the realm seems up to playing foil at this point.
A decently quaffable amber ale, which is sort of like saying an easy-driving Volkswagen - it may be a given, but it's still nice to see it in the flesh. Nothing overtly heady, or all that memorable, but pleasant enough for an early Friday evening kickoff.

Tue - Sat: 9:00am - 7:00pm
Neighborhoods: Beverly Hills
Michelle Beverly Hills Eye Brows – Michelle is EXTREMELY rude and unprofessional. In addition to acting like a child, making very rude and uncalled for comments, she refused to answer simple questions as if she had something to hide. Someone who is confident with their work and has nothing to hide, answers questions easily. She loses great customers and referrals due to her very poor attitude and childish behavior. I guess just because she has posted some D-List celebrities as her clients on her Website, she thinks it gives her the right to talk to people any way she likes. She loses quality customers who won't stand for her disrespectful and fishy behavior.
The best brow stylist – I found the salon on city search and I was verry impressed. I had my eyebrows done in the past but after Michelle did them, they looked amazing. My best friend that never had her eyebrows done before, saw mine and decided to go to Michelle also. I recommend her to anyone that is in need of eyebrow styling.
A little touch of Europe – MICHELLE is the only person that I would let touch my eyebrows or do my wax; she has a way of making you feel completely at ease. She's quick, there's little pain and a pleasure to be around. I love her and I would travel wherever she's working. Her new location is lovelly and it has a european feeling.
Michelle Beverly Hills – Michelle is warm, friendly and amazing. She is in a accessible location, easy to park, and offers the best eyebrow wax in town! If you want to be guaranteed killer shaped eyebrows, Michelle is the ticket. I've been a customer for 5 years at least, and I will not let anyone else touch my eyebrows!
Simply amazing service!!!!! – From the moment that I stepped foot inside Michelle's studio I felt an ambundace amount of energy! She was a great conversatiolist and kept me cracking up the whole entire time! She made a client for life! Ladies, go...NOW!
Great personality!!!! – I've been the other day and had my bikini wax done in NO TIME.. with Michelle at MichelleBeverlyHills.
She's a true artist. Her work is impeccable and her warmth, energy and personality makes her a joy to be around. I defenetly going to be back in a month.
Bikini queen indeed - no pain big gain!!!! – If you really want trauma free bikini wax you must see "my girl" Michelle. I've had bikini waxes done in the past but none of them were that qiuck, painless and thorough. She made me feel very confortable and I love that she laughs and talks to you like you are a longtime girlfriend.
Oh, I forgot to mention that after 3 weeks my " cooch" still looks good and is ingrown free.

What do you guys think of digital publications? Know of any good ones?
I know BULLETT Media is soon to release their own, and I love the content of their print publication. They have such a unique voice including some of the best up and coming talent that I've become addicted. From film to fashion, they cover everything in between. To know more about their upcoming interactive digital app, I just signed up for their newsletter.
I thought the opening video on their website was pretty funny.

I don't know a lot about adoption. In fact, I know VERY little. I know people that have adopted and I know people that are going through the process now. I have read a little bit about the travesty that is taking place in Russia. If you don't know whats going on, I strongly suggest you look into it. It is truly ridiculous as to what is going on in Russia. Do a Google search for "New Russian Adoption Law" and let me know what you think….
It is a shame that country politics get in a way of a family's happiness, and more importantly the well being of a child. Two of the nicest people I know are stuck in the middle of this situation in Russia. Two of the best parents a kid could ask for. Their son and hopefully soon to be adopted child are blessed to have these people as parents. I can not put into words how lucky these kids are.
But Kremlin and Putin are getting in the way. Action needs to be taken.
I am asking for anyone reading this to sign a petition for the President to Diplomatically bring a resolution to the Russian adoption crisis.
I never ask people to do these things. I personally think alot of these type things are fake petitions. But I am here to tell you….THIS IS REAL. VERY REAL.
Please go to the following website, and sign the petition. Change.org

Gunman in LAX shooting told police he acted alone
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The gunman accused of shooting employees and terrorizing travelers at Los Angeles International Airport accomplished two of his goals: kill a Transportation Security Administration officer and show how easy it is to get a gun into an airport.
Paul Ciancia's deadly rampage left investigators to piece together what motivated his hatred toward the agency formed to make air travel safer after the Sept. 11 terrorist attack, but could ultimately lead to changes in the way airports are patrolled.
Ciancia was shot four times by airport police, including in the mouth, and remains heavily sedated and under 24-hour armed guard at the hospital, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press on Sunday. The official was not authorized to speak publicly on the case and requested anonymity.
The FBI said he had a handwritten letter, stating that he made the conscious decision to try to kill multiple TSA officers and "instill fear in your traitorous minds."
The unemployed motorcycle mechanic who recently moved to Los Angeles from the small, blue-collar town of Pennsville, N.J., had a friend drop him at LAX on Friday just moments before he pulled a .223-caliber assault rifle from his duffel bag and opened fire, killing one TSA officer and wounding three other people, including two more TSA workers.
Officials do not believe that the friend knew of the shooter's plans. Ciancia arrived at the airport in a black Hyundai and was not a ticketed passenger.
Ciancia is facing charges of murder of a federal officer and committing violence at an international airport. The charges could qualify him for the death penalty. It was not immediately clear when he would make a first court appearance given his medical condition.
In court documents and interviews, authorities spelled out a chilling chain of events, saying Ciancia walked into the airport's Terminal 3, pulled the assault rifle from his duffel bag and fired repeatedly at 39-year-old TSA officer Gerardo I. Hernandez. He went up an escalator, turned back to see Hernandez move and returned to shoot him again, according to surveillance video reviewed by investigators.
He then fired on two other uniformed TSA employees and an airline passenger, who all were wounded, as he moved methodically through the security checkpoint to the passenger gate area before airport police shot him as panicked travelers hid in stores and restaurants.
It wasn't clear why Ciancia targeted TSA officers, but what he left behind indicated he was willing to kill any of them that crossed his path, authorities revealed.
The letter in his duffel bag refers to how Ciancia believed his constitutional rights were being violated by TSA searches and that he's a "pissed-off patriot" upset at former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
"Black, white, yellow, brown, I don't discriminate," the note read, according to a paraphrase by a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.
The screed also mentioned "fiat currency" and "NWO," possible references to the New World Order, a conspiracy theory that foresees a totalitarian one-world government.
The letter also talked about "how easy it is to get a gun into the airport," the law enforcement official said.
When searched, the suspect had five 30-round magazines, and his bag contained hundreds more rounds in boxes.
U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said on CNN's State of the Union on Sunday that Ciancia's actions show how difficult it is to protect travelers at a massive airport such as LAX.
The terminals are open and easily accessible to thousands of people who arrive at large sliding glass doors via a broad ring road that fronts the facility and is designed to move people along quickly.
"It's like a shopping mall outside the perimeter, it's almost like an open shopping mall," McCaul said.
TSA Administrator John Pistole said the agency will need to work with each airport's police agency "to see how we'll go about in providing the best possible security."
The FBI has served a search warrant on a Sun Valley residence where Ciancia lived, Ari Dekofsky, a spokeswoman for the FBI's Los Angeles field office, said Sunday. Agents are still interviewing people, she said.
Authorities believe the rifle used in the shooting was purchased in Los Angeles. Ciancia also had two additional handguns that he purchased in Los Angeles, but which weren't at the crime scene, a law enforcement official said. The official, who has been briefed on the investigation, was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity.
The purchases themselves appeared legal, although authorities were still tracing them, and it's unclear if the shooter used his own identification or someone else's, the official said.
"He didn't buy them on the street. He didn't buy them on the Internet," the official said. "He bought them from a licensed gun dealer — the rifle and the two handguns."
Hernandez, a three-year veteran of the TSA, moved to the U.S. from El Salvador at age 15, married his sweetheart, Ana, on Valentine's Day in 1998 and had two children.
The TSA said the other two officers wounded in the attack — James Speer, 54, and Tony Grigsby, 36 — were released from the hospital.
Brian Ludmer, a Calabasas High School teacher, remained in fair condition at Ronald Regan UCLA Medical Center and will need surgery for a gunshot wound to the leg. Two other people suffered injuries trying to evade the gunman, but weren't shot.
The FBI was still looking into Ciancia's past, but investigators said they had not found evidence of previous crimes or any run-ins with the TSA. They said he had never applied for a job with the agency.
TSA apologizes for screening 3-year-old girl in wheelchair at Lambert
The mother of the child shot video that caused a stir in social media after it was posted online. The incident happened Feb. 8. The girl and her family were about to fly to Disney World in Orlando, Fla. A TSA agent asked to pat down the 3-year-old and screen her wheelchair. The agent initially told the girl's mother, Annie Schulte, it was illegal to tape the activity. On the video, the little girl, Lucy, who has spina bifida, is seen crying.
Agents eventually decided against a pat-down.
The TSA says it regrets the incident and will address concerns with its workers.

Divers find the body of a missing boy
NSW Police divers have found the body of a missing boy not far away from where he was last seen swimming at Botany Bay. Nine News.PT1M41S http://www.smh.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2ztyu 620 349 December 23, 2013

The family of a five-year-old boy who drowned at a southern Sydney beach on Sunday say they want him to be remembered as a bubbly little boy with a big smile.
"He was such a beautiful little boy,'' Rodney Kahil said of his nephew, Ayman Ksebe, whose body was found about 20 metres off Sandringham beach on Monday morning.
"We want everyone to remember him as a beautiful boy."

Ayman had just finished kindergarten at Condell Park Public School, Mr Kahil said, as he stood with Ayman's cousin, professional boxer Billy Dib, on the beach where the little boy slipped under the water a day earlier, while swimming with his 14-year-old brother, Rami.
The five-year-old was swimming with Rami in shallow water near the Georges River 16-foot Sailing Club when Ayman fell into a deep trough. Rami tried to save his little brother and saw him disappear under the surface.
Mr Kahil said Rami was finding it hard to accept the death of his little brother, while Ayman's mother, Rouba Ksebe, wanted to warn everyone of the dangers of swimming at the beach.

Ms Ksebe clutched a much-loved stuffed animal in her hands on Monday morning as she walked to the water's edge where her five-year-old son was last seen alive, having heard the news that police divers had found his body.
Two men had their arms around her as she reached the shoreline of Botany Bay and walked out on to the sand with a dozen family members.

Divers sighted the boy's body at 10.10am on Monday.
Botany Bay water police Senior Sergeant Brett Prentice said Ayman was found 20 metres from the shore, directly in front of a toilet block in Peter Depena Reserve, opposite Botany Bay.
Because of low visibility divers were searching one metre at a time when they came across his body.
Officers were seen comforting the little boy's distressed father soon after Ayman's body was found.
Relatives shook the hands of police in the reserve upon hearing the news.
St George commander Superintendent David Donohue said he had informed Ms Ksebe. "She is very devastated," he said.

Two Lebanese brothers drowned six years ago in almost the same spot as where Ayman disappeared on Sunday.
Jet skier Dino Haritos, of Sylvania Waters, spent Sunday afternoon searching for Ayman and said the area where he went missing could be deceptive.
"Conditions were horrendous, it was a very strong current. Very windy," Mr Haritos said.

"I know the areas quite well, have been living here for 20 years, and it is a bit of a black hole, especially when the current is up."
Mr Haritos said Ayman and his brother walked about five metres from shore.
In front of them was a deep drop of more than three metres.
"Having children of my own I really feel for the family. No time is a good time but a few days prior to Christmas really hurts."
Helicopters, water police, divers and Marine Rescue NSW volunteers scoured the water for Ayman after news of his disappearance broke about 4pm, until darkness crept in at 8pm.
Before the sun set, a fluorescent green dye was dispersed in the water to track which way the current may have taken Ayman.
A number of family members cried as police divers came out of the water, unable to search any more because of the darkness.
The search was scaled back during the night but a water police vessel was seen moving up and down the coastline throughout the night and it resumed at 8am on Monday.

Happy Birthday Big Pit
Big Pit National Coal Museum celebrates 30 years as a major visitor attraction this year and we celebrated the occasion yesterday in the company of members of the local community who have supported the Museum, staff at Big Pit and the Minister for Culture & Sport John Griffiths who had a tour of the Museum.
Since opening in 1983 Big Pit has welcomed more than 3.5 million people who can go 300 feet underground to find out what life was like for men who worked there. In 1913, one in ten Welsh people were employed in the coal industry and many more were dependent on it for a living – by the end of the 20th century, only one deep mine remained in Wales.
Big Pit employed 1,300 people and produced around a quarter of a million tons of coal a year. The buildings are the same as they were when the mine closed in 1980, but now visitors descend the shaft with a real miner and see what life was like for the thousands of men who worked at the coal face.
The Museum is set in the unique Blaenafon industrial landscape, designated a World Heritage Site in 2000 and is an exciting and informative day out for visitors.
September has crept up on us already and autumn's well on its way!
It's been a successful summer across all of our sites, with nearly a quarter of a million visitors being welcomed over August alone across the seven museums. That's a great achievement and I hope our visitors have enjoyed their experience. We've got an exciting line up of exhibitions, events and activities now until Christmas across all seven museums including Peter Blake's exhibition of works inspired by Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood which will be on show at National Museum Cardiff from 23 November. The exhibition will launch a year-long festival in 2014 – Dylan Thomas 100 – which will mark the centenary of the birth of the poet Dylan Thomas.
Last week I was invited to Bologna in Italy to speak at a two-day final conference of the LEM project "The Learning Museum".
"The Learning Museum" is a network project funded by the Lifelong Learning Programme Grundtvig (2010-2013) which aims to establish a permanent network and web space for museums and adult educators to participate in a learning society and in a knowledge-based Europe.
Seventeen European countries and the United States of America are represented in LEM. Its aim is to create a network of museums and cultural heritage organizations, to ensure that museums play an active role with regard to lifelong learning, and to raise awareness among decision makers at national and European level.
The conference was intended as a meeting place to facilitate networking and develop further collaborations at European level and also an opportunity for participants to discuss the outcomes of the project and share the knowledge developed throughout the three years of its duration, as well as giving a chance to share experiences and exchange ideas with colleagues from all over Europe.
Some interesting ideas emerged. It was striking how many of these involved greater cooperation and consolidation in the face of the financial crisis common to almost all European countries. In the Netherlands, for example, there are two museums associations which will now merge. Central, regional and local government are being encouraged by the sector to coordinate their museum policies. Speakers from the Netherlands said that development of a vision for each museum, before governments decided on them, was essential.

Summer Season
Summer holidays means it's a really busy time for our sites and there's so much going on at all our museums – something for the whole family so if you've visiting one of our seven museums, I do hope you all enjoy a great experience over the next few weeks.
I spent last week up in north Wales and visited the National Eisteddfod in Denbigh for a few days. Amgueddfa Cymru has a stand at the Eisteddfod every year and it's a great to engage with people and tell them what our sites have to offer. There was a different theme every day of the week and when I was there on Monday the focus was Neanderthal Wales. The connection is that the Pontnewydd and Elwy Valley Caves are in Denbighshire and were the focus of museum excavations years ago. Then on Tuesday we celebrated the artist John Piper and explorer Charles Darwin both of whom were very inspired by Dyffryn Clwyd. It was good to enjoy the cultural festival, meet new people and see some of our heritage partners.
Whilst I was up in north Wales, I also had a chance to visit our National Slate Museum in Llanberis in Snowdonia where I joined Dafydd Roberts and the team there in welcoming Baroness Kay Andrews. Baroness Andrews, who grew up in Tredegar, has just stepped down as Chair of English Heritage, and has now been commissioned by the Welsh Government to write a report by January 2014 on how the cultural sector in Wales can work together more effectively to address poverty.
At Llanberis currently there's a new exhibition which showcases the life's work of artist Falcon Hildred, documenting the industrial landscapes and buildings of England and Wales. The exhibition, a partnership between the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales and the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust Limited, has been funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
I also went over to Wrexham for the opening of the exhibition of the Mold Gold Cape at Wrexham Museum. They certainly know their Bronze Age artefacts in the area and they've done a spectacular job of the exhibition. It's well worth going to see if you're in the area.
After a busy week which really tired me out, I have been relaxing by watching Ken Loach's film, The Spirit of '45. Perhaps relaxing is the wrong word to use in response to a powerfully argued and moving tribute to the achievements of the Attlee government, and footage of the slum conditions of pre-War Britain that shows why such changes were so necessary.
The famous Mold Gold Cape comes to Wales
I'm delighted that one of Europe's most important Bronze Age finds has arrived at National Museum Cardiff this week! The display of the Mold Gold Cape, on loan from the British Museum, was officially opened in a special event on Wednesday by the Minister for Culture & Sports, John Griffiths.
A highlight exhibit at the British Museum, the ceremonial gold cape, found in north Wales, was made around 3,700 years ago during the Early Bronze Age. It's one of the finest examples of prehistoric sheet and embossed-gold working in Europe. It's craftsmanship and materials reveal the wealth and significance of north east Wales at this time.
The cape was discovered by workmen near Mold in 1833, many years before the establishment of Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales. Having the Mold Gold Cape return to Wales from the British Museum offers a wonderful opportunity for local people and visitors to enjoy and find out more about their heritage and the early past.
The ancient artefact is in Cardiff until 4 August and then goes to Wrexham Museum from 7 August -14 September, as part of Spotlight Tours, a programme of loans organised through the British Museums' Partnership UK Scheme.
Working in partnership with other museums enables precious artefacts of Welsh origin like this to be more accessible to the people of Wales. The Mold Cape contributes significantly to our understanding of cultural expression and power relations in Early Bronze Age Europe, reflected both in life and in death.
There are activities and events related to the Mold Cape here all month so if you're in the Cardiff area, or in Wrexham next month, why not come and have a look at this unique artefact?
Supporting Kids in Museums
The launch of the 'Kids in Museums' manifesto with the Minister for Culture and Sport John Griffiths and Children's Commissioner Keith Towler took place at National Museum Cardiff this morning. It was a great event and good to see so many young people involved and supporting this project.
A few weeks ago Maria Miller, the English Culture Secretary, made a speech in which she justified the arts and culture on economic grounds. I was glad to hear John Griffiths challenge this reductionist and limited perspective, by emphasising the social and educational value of museums. We are the largest provider of learning outside the classroom in Wales, and play a key role in many communities across the nation.
Amgueddfa Cymru supports the Kids in Museums Manifesto which pledges to work towards putting the twenty points – from inviting teenagers to hang out at museums to creating a comfortable safe place for children and families – into practice. There is a Welsh language version of the manifesto, produced with support from the Welsh Government.
Something that's fast becoming a star attraction at National Museum Cardiff is a beautiful bronze sculpture of a galloping horse by the famous 19th century French Impressionist, Edgar Degas. The work, which has found a permanent home alongside other works here, has been accepted in lieu of inheritance tax from the estate of the artist, Lucian Freud, who died in 2011, and allocated permanently to Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum of Wales. The sculpture will be a major addition to our collection, of which we can all be proud.
Last weekend was particularly busy for National Museum Cardiff. We joined up with the BBC and a host of wildlife partners to host the 'Summer of Wildlife', a fun day of discovering more about our wildlife and we also supported the Welsh language festival Tafwyl in the grounds of Cardiff Castle with a chance for visitors to see the clogmaker from St Fagans and experience some of our natural history and art collections on our stand. Tafwyl Festival helps Welsh language thrive in the capital and we were more than happy to support this successful event.
At the end of May Amgueddfa Cymru had a very successful presence at both the Urdd Eisteddfod and the Hay Festival.
Over 5000 people attended our stand at the Urdd Eisteddfod in Boncath, north Pembrokeshire, where the focus was on the National Wool Museum, being just half an hour away from the Maes. John Griffiths, Minister for Culture and Sport visited the stand and Stephen Crabb MP for Preseli Pembrokeshire really got stuck into the knitting with the giant knitting needle! At the GwyddonLe science pavilion there was an opportunity to learn more about the archaeology of the Preseli Mountains and the Bluestones with Ken Brassil.
At the Hay Festival, we shared a stand with Cadw, the Royal Commission and the Historical Houses Association under the branding History Wales. We ran a number of activities for children during the week highlighting in particular the 30th birthday of Big Pit: National Coal Museum and craft work from St Fagans. The stand was extremely busy, and it was a great opportunity to work with partner organisations to promote Welsh History. John Griffiths, Minister for Culture and Sport, visited the stand to launch the latest edition of Big Pit's people's history magazine, Glo, which was dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the establishment of Big Pit as a museum.
Our new children's book 'Albie the Adventurer: Dinosaur in the Forest' was launched officially at the festival in an interactive session with children. The story is by Grace Todd, and is based on a workshop run for Foundation Phase children in the Clore Discovery Gallery at National Museum Cardiff, where Albie discovers the sights and sounds of the prehistoric forest! I'm sure the book will charm children and grown-ups alike!
One event which I really enjoyed a few weeks ago was the National Theatre Wales' production 'Praxis Makes Perfect'. It was an immersive gig imagining the life of Giangiacomo Feltrinelli, the millionaire Italian communist who was at the heart of many of the most extraordinary events of the twentieth century. I thoroughly enjoyed it and the show will be going on tour to festivals this summer. I'd definitely recommend! And on the subject of things Italian, I have also been reading The Dark Philosophers by Gwyn Thomas, a Library of Wales publication, about a group of men who meet in an Italian café in an industrial community in the period around World War II. For me, Gwyn Thomas is a real discovery, a powerful writer with (is it just my imagination?) just a touch of Damon Runyon?
Time flies
It's May already and I must apologise for my lack of blog posts recently. It's been a busy time for Amgueddfa Cymru.
I'm delighted that we have ended the year with another set of strong visitor figures attracting 1,745,315 visitors, exceeding 1.7m visitors for the first time ever. In 2012, we celebrated 1.69 million visits as the highest total ever recorded since free entry was introduced in April 2001, and this year we had an extra 55,289 visitors compared to the previous year of year, up by 3.27%.
Amgueddfa Cymru has now achieved record visitor figures for two consecutive years and I am delighted that we've succeeded in breaking yet another record this year, which is testimony to the quality of the service delivered by the Museums and the true value of the Welsh Government's free entry policy.
It's been a challenging time for the organisation. The current financial climate poses unprecedented challenges for every public sector organisation in Wales and Amgueddfa Cymru is no exception. Amgueddfa Cymru is facing a reduced budget and must find £2.5m in savings over the next three years. We have recently undertaken a period of consultation with staff and partners regarding a proposed new structure for the organisation which will be announced shortly. I'm very grateful for the patience and cooperation of Amgueddfa Cymru staff during this difficult period.
The proposed changes will not affect the day-to-day operations of the seven national museums across Wales. In finding savings, we have given priority to sustaining services for users. Amgueddfa Cymru will continue to offer visitors quality experiences at each of its sites.
Since I last posted on my blog, a new Culture & Sports Minister has been appointed in the Welsh Government, John Griffiths AM whom I had the pleasure of meeting recently. I am very grateful for the support and work of the previous Heritage Minister Mr Huw Lewis over the past few years and I'm really looking forward to working with Mr Griffiths.
It seems like a long time ago now but I was in Chongqing in China at the beginning of March for the opening of our Amgueddfa Cymru exhibition Wales: Land of the Red Dragon at the China Three Gorges Museum. Promoting Wales as a contemporary nation through international work is one of our main priorities and this partnership is an excellent way to give the 30 million people living in the Chongqing region the chance to learn more about Wales' rich and unique assets in culture, history and the environment.
I recently bought a copy of E.P. Thompson's William Morris: From Romantic to Revolutionary. It is a few years since I last read anything by E.P. Thompson, and his Customs in Common has long been on my list of future reads. I found the postscript to the 1976 edition, in which he discusses Morris's place in the history of communism, moving because of the very personal way in which Thompson refers to his own thinking on this subject.
Realities of Devolution
Last week, I was delighted to attend the relaunch of the hugely successful Sharing Treasures by Huw Lewis, our Minister for Housing, Regeneration and Heritage.
Under the initial scheme, local museums were able to apply for grants to put on exhibitions and raise gallery standards in order to be able to borrow national collections from Amgueddfa Cymru for display. Though we remain an integral partner, the scheme has now been extended to allow libraries and archives to also borrow items from the national collections. It also allows museums to apply for grants to develop touring exhibitions as well as apply for a grant more than once so that they can develop successful projects. Importantly, financial support from the Heritage Lottery Fund has also been secured for 2012/13 to extend the parameters of the initiative. Many people attended, and we had an interesting day of discussions. I was asked to say a few words, and was glad that I was able to express how important I believe the scheme to be. We as national organizations do not own the national collections, but simply hold them in trust for the people of Wales. We have an ethical responsibility to ensure that everyone has access to them, and this scheme allows us to give more people the opportunity to engage with the national collections.
This ties in nicely with a meeting I attended yesterday - the AHRC Museum Ethics Network Workshop. This was the first of five such workshops, one of which will be held in Cardiff. Yesterday's was held at Leicester at the School of Museum Studies at the University. Many interesting presentations were given about the link between ethics and social justice, and the failure of some museum organisations in the UK to think of ethics in those terms. It opened up the prospect of UK museums rethinking their ethical frameworks with a view of putting more emphasis on public engagement. We are lucky to have such a resource as the School of Museum Studies in the UK. They provide intellectual rigour to museum practice that may otherwise not be addressed.
One other event I wanted to mention was the Great British Art Debate which took place on Saturday. It marked the end of a three-year programme which has involved four gallery organizations across England (Tate Britain, Tyne & Wear Archives and Museums, Norfolk Museum and Archaeology Service and Museums Sheffield) working together to explore questions about nationhood, regionalism and artistic identity today through a series of exhibitions and events. The speakers were almost all from Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland or the English regions. Some speakers strongly challenged the basis for the project as a whole. Indeed, two Scottish speakers challenged the concept of Britishness and, by implication, the authenticity of the name of Tate Britain in the context and the reality of devolution. The speaker from Northern Ireland was equally critical, saying that English art institutions have collected very little art produced by Northern Irish artists who stayed in Belfast during the troubles. They prefer instead to collect work by international artists who may have briefly visited Northern Ireland during that time. Indeed, overall, the day questioned many of the premises on which the project was based. It left me with the sense that there was a growing separation within the cultural world between institutions based in London and the rest of the UK. This may well reflect the realities of devolution.
Chongqing and Wales
Yesterday, I returned from China having spent just under a week in Chongqing and Beijing. Though it wasn't my first visit to China, it was my first as Director General of Amgueddfa Cymru. My visit was timed to coincide with the First Minister's visit to China, and I was part of a small cultural delegation which included Rebecca Matthews, Director of the British Council in Wales. It was an excellent opportunity to meet old friends in China and to make new ones, cementing the growing relationship between both countries. Welsh Government staff and British Council staff had worked hard on the programme, and I am extremely grateful for their support in making all the arrangements.
Having hosted the successful Dazu Rock Carvings exhibition here in Cardiff earlier this year, much of my discussions in Chongqing focused on delivering an exhibition from Wales to China in 2013. There is a great deal of interest in China about Wales's culture and history, and it will be an excellent opportunity for us to celebrate our heritage internationally. Three staff members are going to Chongqing in early November to progress these discussions, and though plans are an early stage, there is a great deal of excitement about the proposed exhibition already.
I had a number of interesting meetings during my trip. Everyone was extremely welcoming, and there were discussions about exchanging not only objects but also sharing expertise through a series of staff exchanges. China is investing a great deal in Museums at present, and many new Museums are being built. There is therefore a need for more curators and conservators, and sharing skills with international partners is important in order to be able to achieve this.
Amgueddfa Cymru has a MoU with the Three Gorges Museum in Chongqing, and it was fantastic to be able to visit the museum. We presented as a gift to the museum a ceramic teapot by Walter Keeler, and the First Minister was present. We had a fascinating discussion over lunch with the Director and his staff, where we compared the history of Western socialism in the UK in the post war period with Chinese socialism.
During all of our meetings with senior politicians and officials in both Chongqing and Beijing, all hosts emphasised the importance of culture and education as a basis for a strong relationship between Wales and China. This provides a number of opportunities for Wales, but also provides a challenge in this economic climate as funding will be needed to meet expectations!
Inspiring our thinking
I have just returned from a very interesting trip to Stockholm, as part of our development of the Making History project at St Fagans. Along with other colleagues from Amgueddfa Cymru, we went over to look at museums that may offer some inspiration for the redevelopment. Our Minister for Housing, Regeneration and Heritage - Huw Lewis - was in Stockholm at the same time, and joined us in looking at some of the museums.
At Skansen Museum we were met by John Brattmyhr (Director) and Kerstin Holm Soderkvist (Learning Officer). We learnt about how they'd gone about trying to seek more corporate sponsorship and also how they've expanded their catering facilities. This is a challenge we face at St Fagans! I was greatly impressed by the scale of the site, and the fact that they have more than 30 staff looking after the programme of events and educational services that are run at the museum.
We then went on to Vasa Museum. It has a huge impact when you see it for the first time, and has an interesting history. It is a ship that sank on its maiden voyage in Stockholm harbour. It displays some of the personal possessions that were recovered as well as some of the skeletons. The way they are displayed allow for more very powerful personal stories to be told. They have even facially reconstructed some of the skeletons, which is particularly striking. To copy with the fact that they receive double their anticipated visitors, a new entrance is being build. A similar challenge once again for us at St Fagans!
From a personal perspective, I was grateful that my vegan diet was catered for without any problem. I thought that the dinner arranged by the British Embassy in an Italian restaurant might have proved particularly difficult but the chef cooked me a lovely vegan dish. I became vegan for health reasons rather than as a conscious decision, but I must admit that I feel so much better for it. And I'm trying some new and interesting dishes as a result!
Work on St Fagans redevelopment continues
At the end of last week, I spent a day with the St Fagans Interpretation Group looking at desgin plans for the proposed new galleries. It's exciting to see the project progressing, as we now start discussing what the galleries may look like and what exhibitions may be included. Currently, we are exploring having two galleries - one about the Story of Wales and one about ways of life. We also need to ensure that there is ample space for a temporary exhibitions area. There are so many interesting and important stories to be told, and we're aware that not all of them can be included as part of a permanent gallery. Therefore, it is crucial that we have a high quality space to host a whole array of exhibitions. Personally, I'd like to see at some point in the future another exhibition about childhood in Wales as well as the political history of Wales. The possibilities are endless, and we're happy to listen to any ideas you may have as well!
Over the weekend, I did take some time to myself and went to Glyndebourne to see a production of Handel's Rinaldo. The singing was superb and it was a fantastic production, up to to the high standard one would expect at Glyndbourne. It was, however, quite an alternative production. The Director had decided to update the production so that iwas based around boys vs girls schools in the mid twentieth century. Rinaldo the hero became an adolescent schoolboy, bullied by his peers and transported into a fantasy world, where he then became a hero. Though it was interesting, I must admit that I prefer Handel's version but nevertheless I enjoyed the humour of the production in Glyndebourne.
Plenty going on!
As you can imagine, it is a busy time at all of our sites now that it's the school holidays. It's great to see all of the museums full of people, and since entry is free, it's an affordable day out for all of the family. We've also been busy with events, such as our presence at the National Eisteddfod in Wrexham. Not only did the sun shine on most days, but there was also a wonderful atmosphere. Amgueddfa Cymru had a stand, and there was a lot of interest in the exhibition we had on display relating to the area. It was an opportunity for us to encourage visitors to visit the Wrexham museum, where we have a presence, as well as visit all of the national museums of Wales.Though the main focus of the week was on public consultation regarding the St Fagans redevelopment, we also had a successful launch of the latest issue of Glo magazine. The Minister, Huw Lewis, attended and helped us launch the issue and the response to the content has been fantastic. Having a presence at national events such as the eisteddfod is crucial to our work, as it allows people who don't live near any of our sites to experience the national collections and engage in our work.
On my way back from Wrexham, I visited the People's History Museum in Manchester. I was really impressed by the way it told political history from the perspective of people. The way the graphics were illustrated worked extremely well, and gave me some ideas for the redevelopment of St Fagans.
We were very privileged to be able to host artists from Chongqing in China at National Museum Cardiff as part of the Chongqing in Wales week. The official opening took place here as well, and it wonderful to meet some friends from China who'd helped deliver the Dazu rock carvings exhibition earlier in the year. Visitors were impressed by the demonstrations by the artists as well as the photographic exhibition. It is hoped that this will be an annual event, and we hope to be able to welcome other artists from Chongqing in the future.

Rated 4 out of 5 by PCKaren Needs arrangement, but then very nice. Out of the box I had an immediate negative reaction, but didn't feel like going through the trouble of sending it back. Now I'm so glad I didn't. The branches are totally bendable so you can arrange the flowers to suit your space and taste. I made mine into a Japanese bonsai for my oriental themed dining room and it adds an inviting and warm ambiance to the room, especially before and after meal service when just a touch of light makes a big difference.

We are a boutique retreat space, built from up-cycled shipping containers to be eco-friendly, safe and comfortable. We have an gorgeous movement arts studio on the property, as well as a unique boutique store. We offer massage and a variety of movement arts classes.
Guests have access to the studio when not in use for classes or retreats, access to free WiFi and free filtered water, fully equipped kitchen, and shared deck area.
We are generally around and available to help. We do hang out on the shared deck sometimes, but we live in a separate house on the property. Guests likely will interact more with Bodhi, our lovable dog, than with us unless they seek us out!
Dominical is a small beach town, with world-class surf and beautiful sunsets. There are several good restaurants and cafes, decent supermarkets, a bank and a pharmacy. There are a multitude of amazing outdoor experiences, tours and adventures to be had, which we can help arrange. Occasionally there is interesting night life although Dominical is more of a daytime place.

We were at danyassa for only three nights. We loved the fact that it is located in the middle of Dominical. The vibe there is very communal. Their three dogs were precious. Beds were comfortable and the ac was key. The rooms are very secure which was nice to not have to worry about our stuff. The yoga studio is perched on top of the rooms which gives a lot of shade to the property and the rooms. We hardly ever saw the staff but if we needed something they were happy to help. The bathrooms and shower are all outside the rooms and shared. I didn't mind but my girl did. It just depends on who yar. The kitchen had everything we needed. The beach and really everything for that matter is just down the street. Seeing that it was the end of the high season just before Easter we had the entire place to ourselves. I don't think we saw anyone that wasn't staff the entire time. We actually enjoyed it.
Danyasa was wonderful! The room was spotless and very comfortable, especially with both options of an electric fan and air conditioner. Brendan was responsive, very quickly, with any/every request made.
The bathrooms were also spotless and the hot-water shower was a delight. Although I only stayed a few nights, the convenience of the fully equipped kitchen was superb! An assortment of teas as well as the filtered water provides proved to be quite essential throughout the stay.
I would definitely recommend Danyasa to any friend/family member who is looking for a "green," comfortable accommodation in Dominical.
Amazing location in an amazing town. Highly recommend staying here over anywhere in Manuel Antonio or Uvitas. Beautiful deck and yard. Air conditioned unit. Sweetest dog in the world. Just a world-class experience.
communication with Brandan was very easy and prompt. He always got back to me immediately with all questions and requests. This made for a hassle -free, relaxing arrival.
The location right by the beach was great and I liked being walking distance o everything and close to shops for food etc. I also really loved the use of the kitchen, the blender and the purified hot and cold water. Perfect for what I needed!
We had a great time staying at Danyasa Econ-Retreat. Sofia is a wonderful host. We woke up and saw plenty of tropical birds. We also were just a short walk to the beach. Everyone was incredibly friendly and hospitable. Our room was nice and bed comfortable. We were invited for a free yoga session, which if we had more time in Dominical we would've have attended.
This place is simply magical! It is jungle, comfort, and community all wrapped in one. The yoga studio is absouuuulutely beautiful and is a hub for awesome, fun, brilliant people. I love the outdoor kitchen that is fully stocked with everything you will need to feel at home. My favorite is the hammock out back with views of the jungle greens and a river in the back yard! Brenden is such a sweet and peaceful man, always offering a smile and warm, playful energy. Sofia is an incredible being! - If you get to hang out or take her classes you are bound to learn so much from her grace and wisdom. I feel so lucky to have landed there and to have learned from the amazing teachers they have in the studio. I came thinking I would stay a night, and ended up staying a week. :)
This is the final rate, including any fees from the host and Airbnb.

With respect to CME delivered via the Internet, at the recommendation of the Strategic Plan Implementation Task Force, the ACCME took action to approve final policy statements. These statements were crafted with careful attention to the comments and feedback received from the CME enterprise.
The primary expectation is that providers will plan and implement CME activities delivered via the Internet in compliance with the Essential Areas, Elements, and policies. However, due to the nature of the Internet, some additional requirements and/or interpretations were adopted. For example, to maintain separation of promotion from education, CME activities of an ACCME accredited provider cannot be on a pharmaceutical or device manufacturers' product website; with clear notification that the learner is leaving the educational website, links from the website of an ACCME accredited provider to pharmaceutical and device manufacturers' product websites are permitted before or after the educational content of a CME activity, but shall not be embedded in the educational content of a CME activity; and advertising of any type is prohibited within the educational content of CME activities on the Internet including, but not limited to, banner ads, subliminal ads, and pop-up window ads.
The ACCME also determined that some requirements related to usability and ethics for Internet CME would assist the provider in complying with Element 3.2:
The provider must operate the business and management policies and procedures of its CME program (as they relate to human resources, financial affairs and legal obligations), so that its obligations and commitments are met. (Element 3.2)
These new requirements concentrate on informing the learner about the hardware and software needed to participate; having a mechanism for the learner to contact the provider with questions about the Internet CME activity; having, complying with and informing the learner about privacy and confidentiality of information; and being in compliance with copyright law.
The effective date of these new Internet policies is immediate, but the ACCME expects that providers will need time to implement. Therefore:
All CME activities delivered via the Internet must be in compliance with the new requirements by October 1, 2002.
The ACCME will review the Internet CME activities of new applicants for accreditation beginning in October 2002.
For providers seeking reaccreditation, only their Internet CME activities deployed/operating after October 1, 2002 will be reviewed for compliance. To facilitate providers' understanding and implementation of all ACCME accreditation policies, a complete, new ACCME Accreditation Policy Compendium will be sent to providers with the Spring ACCME Report. For updates or additional copies, please visit the ACCME's website at www.accme.org. For questions about any of these new policies, please do not hesitate to contact the ACCME at firstname.lastname@example.com or 312/464-2500.

0:01: As the ridiculous trailer to "Qualified, Yet Single: Why Good Men Remain Single" — a new film created by "psychotherapist and relationship counselor" Dr. Dwayne L. Buckingham to take a look at what's really keeping "good†brothas from committing — begins, a strange fear comes over me. The awkward title, awkwarder graphics, and awkwardest song choice ("Umi Says?" Really?) lets me know that I'm in store for two minutes and 47 seconds worth of anti-classic material so snark-worthy and cheesy that, by the end of this clip, I'll assume I was just Punk'd. Five seconds in, and I'm already looking forward to the fun I'm going to have making fun of this production.
So, where does the "strange fear" come from? As self-aware as I (hope I) am, a part of me can't help but wonder if I, when I'm explaining why I've never been married, look and sound as ridiculous as the men on screen. I'm 93.2% certain that I don't, but before I continue to chronicle this edition of Dr. Drew meets Everest College, I'd be remiss if I didn't acknowledge what was in the back of my mind.
0:07: In what can easily be interpreted as a five second-long PSA for masturbation, a very sneakily attractive woman who clearly had no idea she was going to be on camera that day speaks about how women need to love themselves to keep from loving "the dogs." If only someone told that to Michael Vick.
0:21: Am I the only one who thinks that Black men who rock ridiculous bow ties without a hint of irony should just have their names legally changed to "Bowtie Ass N*gga?" That's just me? Ok. Moving on.
0:27: As the cameraman decides to focus on Bowtie Ass N*ggas' teeth, I'm starting to wonder why, in a 150 second long clip about why "good" Black men are single, the first 30 seconds were spent discussing what women need to be doing differently. Hmmm.
0:32: I can say with complete confidence that I've never had another man look at me as intensely as Carl Thomas is looking at Bowtie Ass N*gga. Now, I'm not saying that it will never happen, and I also don't mean to imply that there's anything wrong with it happening if it happened to happen. All I'm saying is that I know that in my three decades on this planet, I've never had another man peer longingly into my soul with a thousand yard stare.
0:50: Is "Old ass guy on camera talking about how he'll never get married until he finds his queen" the last step you take before becoming "Old ass guy at the club?"
1:02: I have to say that I can relate to the sentiment expressed about not giving 100%. But, while the guy on screen blames his reluctance on a fear of the woman "not coming through," I have no such fear, and I'm legitimately puzzled about where this insistence on living life on a peripheral level comes from. Maybe I'm scared of love and commitment. Maybe, to quote a character from "Mad Men" speaking about Don Draper, I "only like the beginnings of things." Who knows?
1:12:Â If I was a marriage cynic, I'd make the counterargument that "qualified" men are staying single specifically because they're using their "big" heads instead of the "little" ones. Basically, they've realized that the benefits of staying single outweigh the benefits of marriage. (I think) I'm not a marriage cynic though, so I won't make that argument.
1:20: What was actually not really that bad of a video starts to spiral down hill as Kevin Hart's Uncle Ritchie Jr. decides to make his first ever screen appearance. While he does make one very good sounding point with the type of rhythmic syntax regularly incorporated by Black politicians and predicate felons ("Good man in his head is a good man in his head only"), I couldn't help but be reminded of why I have an irrationally rational fear of prison.
1:37: Guy in one of those confusing blazer/sweatshirt combo things you always find in discount racks at Macy's makes a good point about good men and good women not finding each other. Still, no answers about why "good" Black men are single. This entire video is a red herring.
This is the point where someone should probably make the point that not all single men are single by choice. Some cats tell themselves that their singledom is a conscious decision when it really just comes down to the fact that  they just don't have romantic/sexual access to the women they think they "deserve."
This is also the point where I begin to curse myself for thinking that writing a second by second recap of this shit would be a good idea.
1:44: She's cute in an "my ex boyfriend kind of still thinks we're together and might break into your crib one day while you're at work and sit on the couch and wait for you to get home so you can talk about things and resolve this situation" sort of way.
1:57: My favorite part of the video begins as Carl Thomas returns to the screen to bless us with his "very successful" presence, his unbuttoned blouse reminding us all of when our grandmothers told us not to trust Michael Beach or any other light-skinned man who wears long-sleeved shirts with no undershirt.
Actually, after hearing him talk some (and reading some of the comments attached to this video at Clutch), I definitely think the producer was looking for a "Hill Harper-ass n*gga" to put in his video, and just found the first one he could find. I think I'm just going to call him Phil Farper.
2:10: Not to be outdone by Phil Farper's Phil Farperness, a guy in a gray H&M blazer says, with a straight face, that he doesn't have any flaws. Forget Diva Dude, this n*gga's the motherf*ckin Hope Diamond.
2:20: As the jazz played in every sex scene in every Spike Lee movie ever made plays in the background, the clip ends with another cryptic voiceover about men being pussies and a shot of the DVD this trailer is based on. I think Dr. Buckingham should have chosen a better cover.
I have to say that, as far as trailers where the only women interviewed are in Greyhound station hair salons and the only men interviewed are at Kappa BBQs or prisons go, this wasn't half bad. With that being said, there wasn't any new insight. The crackheads selling lawnmowers outside of my barbershop could have told him that "good" Black men are single because they're either too scared to commit or too full of themselves to even contemplate commitment, and they would have been much more entertaining interview subjects.
Anyway, people of VSB.com, what did you think about the video? Are you mad at me for forcing you to waste 150 seconds of your life? Also, play Dr. for a minute and give you own personal reasons why you think so many Black men are choosing to stay single.
—Damon Young (aka "The Champ")Â

DUBAI, UAE, February 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
ICFLIX [pronounced i-see-flix] has signed a deal with Fox International Channels that will further expand their library for subscribers in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The region's first subscription-based online streaming service is available to users within MENA for only $7.99 per month, which gives them a huge variety of content from Hollywood, Bollywood and Jazwood (Arabic language content); the service is also accessible worldwide for only Bollywood and Jazwood content.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130905/638220 )
National Geographic Channel programs will now be available to those accessing the service from their Internet-enabled devices in the MENA region, in English and Arabic, and will be updated monthly, as will National Geographic Farsi, to bring hit documentary programing to users on demand.
Popular TV series "The Walking Dead" and "The Listener" will also be added in full for TV fans who want to catch up on the shows before their next seasons both air towards the end of this year. The Golden Globe-nominated "The Walking Dead" captivates its audiences by telling the horror story of a post-apocalyptic world where man-eating zombies thrive. So many were captivated by its season four premiere that it became the most-watched drama series telecast in basic cable history. "The Listener" is a science-fiction drama about Toby Logan, a mind reading paramedic who teams up with law enforcement to make a change in the world.
ICFLIX will also be adding Fox's Baby TV in English and Arabic to their kids' content, in order to ensure entertainment for the entire family.

RENO — Steve Struzyk smiled as he paused Friday night after Galena High's 27-7 Sierra League win against Douglas.
"I'm just glad the clock reads zero," the Galena coach said.
Struzyk had good reason to feel relieved after Galena (1-0 league, 6-0 overall) scored 14 unanswered points in the final 12 minutes to gain some breathing room and win their homecoming game. Douglas (0-1, 1-5) gave the Grizzlies all they could handle on a night when the scoreboard read 13-7 with 41.9 seconds left in the third quarter.
"That was a great effort," Douglas coach Ernie Monfiletto said. "I couldn't …

Chris Dierkes
Chris was raised in the US and now lives in Canada (having emigrated in via marriage to my beautiful wife). He's a Christian (Anglican) priest, holding a Master's Degree in Divinity (MDiv).
Though a Christian and that lens ultimately is the one through which he sees the world, Chris has spent a number of years studying and practicing various practices from many of the world's great religious traditions. He has written and thought a great deal about the relationship between religion, society, and politics in the contemporary world.
In the great debate between secularism and religion (as it is commonly understood and practiced) in our day and age, Chris feels like Leslie Nielsen's Dr. Rummack in Airplane! When told that the passengers had the choice between fish and steak as their on-flight meal, Rummack responds, "Oh yes, I remember I had the lasagna."
The fish of secularism and the steak of common religion will not do. Only the lasagna of post-postmodern religion will satiate. We hope you like Italian.
