AYANA Zeitgeist
Translated from German, Zeitgeist means "the spirit of the moment", and is the key principle underpinning AYANA's service philosophy. Here, we share our inside tips and favorite haunts to help you experience the AYANA Zeitgeist.
AYANA and RIMBA was chosen to host the fifth annual Asia Pacific Pay TV Operators Summit 2014 (APOS 2014). In between meetings and star studded gala dinners, the participants spotted familiar faces such as Angie Miller from the Season 12 of American Idol, celebrity Chef Rachel Allen, the legendary tennis champ Martina Navratilova and other TV personalities. There were even apparently an appearrance of Darth Vader! It was an amazing event and the whole AYANA and RIMBA team was honored to be part of it.
Check for more pictures here!
It was a beautiful day in Jimbaran Bali for the grand launch of UNIQUE Rooftop Bar & Restaurant on 12 April. As part of RIMBA Jimbaran Bali, UNIQUE is a chic pool club by day, evolving into a spectacular spot for sunset cocktails and dinner perched high above the treetops, with a refreshing seabreeze and views of RIMBA's surrounding forest tot ehe ocean beyond. It brings to 15 the number of restaurants and bars across the AYANA Resort and Spa property, which is also home to RIMBA as an integrated resort, giving guests unrivaled choice to indulge their taste buds for cuisines from every corner of the globe.
After the local favorite Lapuja performed, American Idol 2010 winner Lee DeWyze brought in the sunset with his Idol-hit 'Hallelujah' as well as 'Blackbird Song' which he wrote for AMC's Walking Dead series and tracks from new album 'Frames'. Lee DeWyze was very gracious in smiling for the camera as all the ladies (and quite a few men!) lined up to immortalize their memory of their major eargasm (or maybe it was just me!)
The 300 guests also enjoyed a sample of UNIQUE's new dinner menu, Moet Hennessy Champagne, Belvedere ice bar, and sideshow entertainment ranging from a laser show and live music to animal print body artist, robots in the lifts and mermaids in the pool. Yes you read that right, mermaid. The only thing missing from the party was a Unicorn!
Here are some snapshots for those of you who didn't make it:
AYANA's superstars were immortalized in a Walk of Fame on 21 March 2014 at a black-tie presentation event for the 2013 Canon and Zeitgeist Awards. The annual awards are held by the resort each year to recognize our team's commitment to be Reliable, Loyal, Worldly, and Memorable, with awards presented to those team members who have upheld our commitment to excellence in their service and passion for their role.
There were 20 nominees for the annual awards, each having won a quarterly award in 2013 and undergoing intense product knowledge testing and evaluation by their departmental leaders and senior management. As they awaited the results of the annual award winners, a cabaret show opened the glamorous celebration and decadent gala dinner, with live entertainment by the resort's talented in-house musicians.
Congratulations to the 2013 Canon and Zeitgeist winners, who each received a holiday to Singapore including accommodation at the 6-star Capella Singapore (AYANA and RIMBA's sister hotel within Capella Hotel Group), return flights for 2 people, and spending money!
The combined forces of AYANA and RIMBA's culinary team stole the show at Bali's 8th Salon Culinaire Competition, taking home 10 awards from the event. Attended by thousands of people from Bali's tourism sector and over 800 exhibiting companies from 40 countries, the competition was part of the Food, Hotel, and Tourism Expo held from 6 – 8 March 2014.
AYANA and RIMBA's Culinary and Food & Beverage Service teams showed their mojo withan outstanding display of talent from the kitchen to the table. Competing against chefs from other 5-star Bali hotels, they won two individual awards, three individual medals, as well as five medals in the new team-category competition, Dewata Gastronomic Challenge and Wine Pairing, which scores each hotelon a 3-course menu with wine pairing and table set-up.

Well-Placed-Insider's tough job is being tested at UNIQUE Rooftop Bar, the ultra-glamorous sunset spot located on the rooftop of RIMBA Jimbaran Bali, the sister hotel of AYANA Resort and Spa Bali. UNIQUE (named so because it is) is just as dashing and spectacular for a lunch-time chill-out and poolside fun, as it is for sundowners and beats that set the tone for all-day play.
And about those cocktails… Well-Placed-Insider was lucky enough to road-test a few and these are my favorites (at least, the ones I can remember!):
1. Electric Blue Mojito (aka Rocket Fuel Mojito)
This concoction of rum, mint leaf, blue curacao syrup and fresh lime gives a fresh sweet taste that boosts your energy… to sample another one!
2. Strawberry Rum Sundae
Made with rum infused coffee, coffee liqueur, fresh cream and a splash of grenadine syrup, and garnished with fresh strawberry, this girly drink is flavorsome and of course, has a serious caffeine effect. Now I am wide awake…
3. Tiffany Blue
Sorry, no ring in there. But this combination of white rum, coconut rum, fresh pineapple juice, coconut cream and a splash of blue syrup gives a delicious tropical beach flavor that deserves an "I do" too. Or, I do… want more.
4. Southern Nelis Pear
A good mix of fresh pear and peach fruit compounded with sweet vermouth and fresh lime to give a very fruitful zesty bite.?It is a must have for a lazy Saturday afternoon basking under the sun.
5. Ginger Cooler
Made with a thumb-sized nob of fresh ginger, squeeze of fresh lemon, Sunkist mixed with vodka, grand marnier and topped with ginger ale, this is one bold drink for someone who really knows what they want. My favorite next to Strawberry Rum Sundae!
6. Spicy Watermelon Mojito
Nothing quenches a tropical thirst like fresh, sweet watermelon. Add white rum, sugar cane, lime juice, sparkling water, home-made spicy syrup and mint, and you have the perfect summer mojito, and a new contender for my favorite UNIQUE cocktail!
And now thanks to UNIQUE's mixologists, Well-Placed-Insider finally understands that saying:
"I am only as strong as the cocktails I drink, the hairspray I use and the girlfriends I have…"
The sky was the limit when Bali's first Ah Yat Abalone Seafood Restaurant tossed a plate of food into the air, as part of the ancient ritual of Yee Sang plate tossing to welcome the Chinese New Year. The celebration was a particularly auspicious occasion for Ah Yat, following its launch in Bali last November at RIMBA Jimbaran Bali, the new sister hotel of the award-winning AYANA Resort and Spa.
Enjoy the pictures of the feast below, and Gong Xi Fa Cai!
Why the 'how to'? Because in past years, Well-Placed-Insider, along with many other OCD carriers out there, has learned a lot about how we make and break habits, and how we go topsy-turvy realizing that we are failing. This ends now.
Here are a few of the most common New Year's resolutions-and ways to actually ditch them from your next year's resolution list.
1. Go on a diet
Do I hear a "Guilty as charged!" echoing? Well-Placed-Insider is not one to talk after making this resolution three years in a row. Truth is, it is easy to get tired of following such a strict regimen and go back to eating pretty much what we loved to eat before, because dieting is simply hard,especially if we try the cold turkey way. But there is a solution.
Delete the intimidating word DIET and rephrase with:Make small changes to my eating habits. AYANA' s Spa Cafe chefs are gems of solid advices on healthy yet yummy dietary tips. If you are having a sugar crash, grab a glass of fresh juice instead of that canned soda with is 200 everlasting calories. Switch from your daily bakery muffin to a bowl of oatmeal with fruit and raisins as natural sweeteners, or swap your latte for a cup of house java instead. Travel a lot? Make sure you only stay in places like?this?that give you space and fun reasons to exercise.
2. Save more, spend less
You go online and all these online shopping banners popping up hurt your eyes, so you just have to click it. And that only means it will follow you wherever you go… even when you are trying to obtain information for your report from the internet. And after all the hard work, you just have to reward yourself with a designer labeled bag, or a cashmere scarf or those shoes…oh those shoes!With this pressure to spend less, your consciousness will actually lead you to spend more because you will find justifications in your daily routine. It is just how the dynamic works and brings this resolution back to your list. It is a vicious cycle. But there is a way to stop it.
Make it a GOAL?to go on a shopping spree in Singapore, Bangkok, or Milan, or have?the most luxurious holiday in Bali with your family?or?make that dream wedding come true(yes even a beach wedding, with doves and three tiered cake). With these in mind, you will click the 'close' sign of an online shopping banner as soon as it pops up on your screen, and instead find yourself ?thinking of trying a?best kept secret spa treatment?at your holiday destination instead of swiping your credit cards on boots and perfume! (Psst… if this is your holiday destination,you can even make your own perfume)
3. Give up on smoking
Thankfully this is not one of Well-Placed-Insider's resolutions, but it seems to be a common one! Well, it is not that you cannot stop being puff the magic dragon, you can, and you should. But if you are waiting for that perfect day when you will ?be able to stop because you made a New Year resolution, it is just not going to happen.
What is going to work??Well-Placed-Insider is going to share one success story here. A friend who successfully kicked the habit ?credited it to Stanford University internist Kelly Traver, MD, author of?The Program: The Brain-Smart Approach to the Healthiest You.?Check her website?and download the iPhone app.Yes, app! Add these10 extra tricks?and you are even more likely to succeed.
And when you have that stinging urge (only if its stings!) to get the sensation of holding a cigarette in between your fingers, this sweet dish from Rock Bar's menu is the exception to the rule, Port and Cigar. But you should not try it if you made a resolution to diet.
Bernhard Butz-Executive Chef: "Gluehwine and Spekulaas"
You can never go wrong celebrating Christmas with Gluehwine (traditional German mulled wine usually enjoyed after a cold day of skiing) and Speculaas (gingerbread cookies). Speculaas always brings back memories of where I used to live in Germany… and the Gluehwine is just a must have during the holiday season.
Patricia Undjuk – Guest Recognition Supervisor, RIMBA Jimbaran: "Grandma's Apple Pie"
I love (and really miss) my grandma's home-made apple pie. We used to make tons of them and eat them over Christmas holidays. Since grandma passed away, almost all the women in the family keep trying to keep her recipe's legacy but nothing really tastes the same so we never have that apple pie anymore. Maybe someday I can make it just like Grandma used to!
Giordano Fagiolli – Director of Food and Beverage, RIMBA Jimbaran: "Cappelletti"
My favorite festive dish is this homemade stuffed pasta with meat filling served in capon broth. This is a must have on the table during Christmas holidays in any household in Italy. Unfortunately it does not go really well with a hot climate and so is less enjoyable on a tropical island like Bali. Nonetheless, Cappelletti is something I always look forward to prepare for my family at Christmas; this way, my children can learn about their roots a little bit.
Arnold Sebastian – Dava Chef de Cuisine: "Christstollen"
I always have a soft spot for Christmas Stollen or Christstollen. It is the traditional and most famous bread from my hometown, Dresden, Germany. The whole family eat this delicious bread during the holiday season and I even make them now, of course! In fact, we just made Bali's longest stollen at over 10 meters, and shared with guests after our Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony.
Are you one of those people who plays Christmas carols as soon as December arrives? Guilty as charged. Here is Well-Placed-Insider's top 3:
O Tannenbaum
Having to always take charge in deciding the family Christmas tree theme each year, this song makes the job easier.?And would you look at this beautiful tree at AYANA made from recycled wood and other natural materials, and how magical the angelic voices of the children's choir sounded during the tree lighting ceremony on 7 December. Maybe Well-Placed- Insider will copy this theme next year!
"O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree, You are the tree most loved! How often you give us delight in brightly shining Christmas light! O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree, You are the tree most loved!"
Santa Claus is coming to town
It is true! And you can see him at AYANA for the Breakfast with Santa event on 21 December. Another of Well-Placed-Insider' s long awaited festive agendas is this decadent Christmas dinner at RIMBA. With these kinds of events,you better not pout!
Little drummer boy
Christmas is not merely about gifts, lavish food and merriment. It is about giving, and especially giving love. So this beautiful song should always remind us about the core of Christmas spirit. Just like what guests experienced at this year' s Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, when children from a Denpasar orphanage came to sing carols and received gifts from guests and staff "Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum"
"Mama, I just ate our Christmas Tree" – Patricia Undjuk- Guest Recognition Supervisor
Christmas time is my favorite time of the year and I enjoy decorating the Christmas tree the most. When I was 10 years old, my mom decided to go a little creative and decorate the tree not with ornaments but with candies and chocolates.. It was the best tree ever but I could not help myself; I ate every single chocolate and candy the next day, leaving us with a naked-tall-upset-green-pine-tree with not a shred of color on it!
"White tapestry covered the city after I prayed for it at Church" Arnold Sebastian-Dava Chef de Cuisine
I was 8 years old. All the family members went to Church for Christmas Eve mass. I was a bit upset because there was no snow at that time even though it was freezing. But I joined the family for the mass anyway to pray for a White Christmas. As we walked out of the church after mass, the streets were covered in a white blanket! In my 8-year-old eyes, it seemed like magic; in only a few hours, all I could see was this white-almost silver- tapestry that seemed endless as it covered the whole town. Then my family went back home and we all celebrated Christmas Eve with a delicious dinner and I remember hearing the sound of wrapping paper being torn up all night as everyone opened their presents.
"Chestnuts roasting from our Nanas open fire?and it burst out presents!" Giordano Faggioli-Director of Food and Beverage at RIMBA Jimbaran
The thing that I fondly remember about my childhood Christmases was the smell of roasted chestnuts coming out of our grandmother's wood-fired oven in the old family house. Yes, just like the famous "Christmas Song". For me, it was a sign that Christmas was just around the corner and that we would be busy hanging out wreaths and decorations and would be spoiled with festive delicacies and of course, presents almost one month long!
"Christmas starts in November" Michel Ruata-Call Center
In my hometown, Manado-North Sulawesi, Christmas would start in November! From early November, each household kitchen would be busy baking cookies (in Manado, 90% of the people make their own Christmas cookies). The euphoria would start to elevate every December, when our parents would tell us to stuff grass into shoes so that Santa could take them for the reindeers and leave us presents in return. Then on Christmas Eve, after attending mass, our parents would give us a new pair of shoes and clothes.
"May there be no more walls" Martin Ehlers-Executive Assistant Manager (Rooms)
I grew up in West Germany, about 50 kilometers from the inner German border to the Socialist East Germany which was in existence until 1990. The border did not permit people to easily pass; one had to have a Visa months in advance. On 24th?December 1989- following a friendly revolution in the East German capital, Berlin, the inner German border opened. It was the best Christmas present ever. It was amazing to finally be able to drive across and to see our brothers and sisters. Everybody in Germany was so excited. When we drove across to East Germany along the just wrecked down border, people were waving at us with tears and laughter of excitement. Germany "united" in 1990 and it was a truly special Christmas for me.

P!nk to play Bradley Center Nov. 3
P!nk will make her first Milwaukee appearance in seven years when the pop star, born Alecia Moore, headlines the BMO Harris Bradley Center at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 3.
P!nk's last area performance was in 2006 at Summerfest's Briggs & Stratton Big Backyard, after she had released the defensively titled "I'm Not Dead." The Summerfest show happened before two singles from that album - "Who Knew" and "U + Ur Hand" - landed in the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts and revitalized her career. »Read Full Article(5)
Milwaukee Opera Theatre, Genghis Barbie rock the art song
Audiences at opera singers' recitals do not, customarily, pump their arms and cheer. Of course, singers at said recitals don't usually perform tunes by Queen and Guns N' Roses flanked by a quartet of female horn players, either.
Saturday evening's Milwaukee Opera Theatre presentation of Andrew Wilkowske in "Guns N' Rosenkavalier," directed by John Glover at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, was a riot of rule-breaking, genre-bending tunes from the worlds of art song and rock. »Read Full Article

Hollywood heats up with Bond, Bella and Bilbo
The B-list rules Hollywood's fall and holiday movie season: Bond, Bella and Bilbo.
Daniel Craig is back as James Bond in "Skyfall," the superspy's first adventure in four years, one of the longest 007 hiatuses in the franchise's 50-year history.
Kristen Stewart returns for her swan song as Bella Swan, alongside vampire hubby Robert Pattinson and jealous werewolf pal Taylor Lautner in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2," the franchise finale.
And Bilbo Baggins goes jewelry shopping for an evil ring in "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," the first installment in Peter Jackson's three-part prelude to his Academy Award-winning adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings."
Ian McKellen, Cate Blanchett, Elijah Wood and others reprise their "Lord of the Rings" roles, but "The Hobbit" hinges on newcomer Martin Freeman as Bilbo.
The filmmakers were so set on him that production halted for three months while Freeman returned to "Sherlock," the British TV hit in which he plays Dr. Watson.
"It was sort of unheard of for a big-budget movie, but because we wanted him so badly, the studio supported us, and we made that provision in our schedule," Jackson said. "He carries the movie. You get that casting wrong and you're in huge trouble."
Here's a look at other upcoming highlights:
For baseball fans, there's "Trouble with the Curve" (Sept. 21), starring Clint Eastwood as an old-timer on a scouting trip with his daughter (Amy Adams).
Adam Sandler's in voice-only mode as Dracula in the animated monster mash "Hotel Transylvania"Sept. 28.
Time-travel geeks can watch Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a hit man trying to snuff his older self (Bruce Willis) in "Looper" (Sept. 28), also featuring Emily Blunt.
Gordon-Levitt underwent three hours of makeup each day to look more like Willis. He repeatedly watched his co-star's movies and studied Willis' dialogue on his iPod.
"But the most productive thing was just spending time with him. Having dinner, talking about music or whatever and getting to know each other," Gordon-Levitt said. "That's when I felt I was learning the most about what I could incorporate into how I was going to play this character."
Liam Neeson returns as a violently overprotective family man in "Taken 2" (Oct. 5).
And Tim Burton resurrects an old friend with "Frankenweenie" (Oct. 5), his animated update of a live-action short film he made in the 1980s, centered on a kid who pulls a Frankenstein to revive his cherished, perished dog.
"It's like the first pure relationship you have as a child, if you have a good pet," Burton said. "Also growing up loving, like, 'Frankenstein' movies, there's something about a boy and his dog and a 'Frankenstein' story that doesn't seem that dissimilar. It seemed like a weird wish-fulfillment connection that just made sense to me."
Joaquin Phoenix stars as a World War II vet mesmerized by a cult leader (Philip Seymour Hoffman) in "The Master" (Oct. 12).
Kevin James goes from lethargic science teacher to mixed martial-arts sensation in the comedy "Here Comes the Boom" (Oct. 12).
Ben Affleck directs and stars in "Argo" (Oct. 12), a rescue thriller about the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis.
Brad Pitt's a mob enforcer tracking rogue hoods in "Killing Them Softly" (Oct. 19).
Tom Hanks, Halle Berry and a big ensemble take on multiple roles in "Cloud Atlas" (Oct. 26), an epic spanning centuries and genres.
A couple of animated tales debut for the holidays: "Wreck-It-Ralph" (Nov. 2), with John C. Reilly providing the voice of a second-banana video game character striking out on his own; and "Rise of the Guardians" (Nov. 21), an adventure with Santa Claus, the Easter bunny and other mythical beings battling an evil spirit.
Seth Rogen goes on a road trip with his domineering mom (played by Barbra Streisand) in "The Guilt Trip" (Nov. 2).
Denzel Washington's a pilot who miraculously lands his damaged jetliner in "Flight" (Nov. 2).
Judi Dench's M steps up in a more pivotal role as spy master to Craig's 007 in "Skyfall" (Nov. 9), in which Bond's loyalty to his boss is tested by revelations from her past.
Steven Spielberg directs Daniel-Day Lewis as Abraham Lincoln in "Lincoln" (Nov. 9). Keira Knightley and Jude Law star in a new take on Leo Tolstoy's epic romance "Anna Karenina" (Nov. 9).
One of the biggest blockbusters of the season will be "Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2" (Nov. 16).
"Twilight" has been a rarity for male-oriented Hollywood, a blockbuster franchise aimed almost exclusively at women. Bill Condon, director of the final two "Twilight" movies, recalls studio hand-wringing over "Dreamgirls," his musical that became a hit largely because of female crowds.
"People were so concerned about who was going to go see it," Condon said. "It was like, well, what if you can make a movie that 15-year-old boys don't care about and you still have an audience? That turned out to be true. I think it's exciting when not every movie's got to be aimed at just that one demographic."
"The Hobbit" (Nov. 28) is expected to be another holiday blockbuster.
Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway team for a big-screen adaptation of the stage musical "Les Miserables" (Dec. 14), based on Victor Hugo's classic. A scheduling conflict forced Hathaway out of an earlier movie musical, "The Phantom of the Opera."
She now counts it a blessing, saying "Les Miserables" more than compensates.
"I don't know if I would have gotten 'Les Mis' if I had done 'Phantom,'" Hathaway said. "So maybe it was just the universe's way of protecting me and getting to play a superior part."
Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann revisit their marital woes as they reprise their "Knocked Up" characters in Judd Apatow's "This Is 40" (Dec. 19).
The action competition for the holidays heats up in Tom Cruise's "Jack Reacher" (Dec. 21), with Katie Holmes' ex playing a former military cop investigating a sniper case. Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained" (Dec. 25) stars Jamie Foxx and Leonardo DiCaprio in a pre-Civil War bounty hunter saga.
Among holiday comedies, Billy Crystal and Bette Midler play grandparents at odds with their daughter (Marisa Tomei) in "Parental Guidance" (Dec. 25).

Black Friday has dawned again, as much as we'd hoped it wouldn't. And we're guessing that even those crazed shoppers at Southgate are nursing the same turkey-and-wine hangovers we are. But when the Thanksgiving dose of alcohol and Tryptophan wear off, it's a good bet this town will be in dire need of a pick-me-up. Look no further...
This week: Imperial Hefeweizen, courtesy of the Kettlehouse
What you're drinking: Your average hefeweizen packs a bit of a punch, but tends to be a lighter, less alcoholic choice than your other microbrew ventures. "Chick beers, as people call them around here," says Kettlehouse assistant taproom manager J. Ryan Weingardt. Not so with this little ditty. Yes, it's light and smooth. But the Kettlehouse's latest recipe packs a serious punch: 10.5 percent, which is hard to believe considering how easily the Imperial goes down. "This is the kind of beer that'll kick your ass," Weingardt says. "You don't even notice, but you're drinking an extra pint right there."
What it tastes like: The Imperial Hefe is brewed with Goldings hops and Munich malt, but it's the lemon zest that really pleases the nostrils. Kettlehouse threw in about six ounces of the stuff during the boil, then another six ounces after. The resulting beer isn't overwhelmingly fruity like some brews; it teases your senses with a hint of something tasty instead of slapping you upside the head with flavor.
Where you're drinking: The Kettlehouse's original home on Myrtle Street. Lines of regulars, inside-jokes on the marker boards, "Black Sabbath" pumping through the taproom speakers—every time you walk in, the place feels more like Cheers. As Weingardt says, "You know every face in here."
Who you're drinking with: While others were contending with holiday shopper traffic out on Reserve this afternoon, a handful of smart locals were lying low at the Kettlehouse helping drain the last keg of Maple Stout. Among them was Kettlehouse first-timer Howie Riedl. A resident of Carson City, Nev., ol' Howie had stopped into the brewery while exploring what Montana's Garden City had to offer. "And apparently this tasting room is just one other awesome aspect of Missoula I've discovered," he said. Amen.
When you're drinking it: We lucked out with the Imperial Hefe. It wasn't on tap yet when we dropped by on Black Friday, but we wrangled a special tasting session in the interest of keeping our loyal readers informed. And man, the minute this hits the marker board, we can promise you that taproom will be packed. Weingardt assures that the latest winning recipe from the Kettlehouse will be available whenever the popular Maple Stout runs out. Could be it's happened already, so you best be checking in soon. This is a punch-packing hefe you don't want to miss.
Where to find it: What snowdrift have you been living under? The K-Hole, yo. It's at 602 Myrtle Street, right around the corner from Le Petit Outre.

Last chance to enter Oscar contest
It's Felix and Oscar time, minus Felix. The Academy Awards roll Sunday.
If you want to clean up in the Showcase Pick the Oscar Contest, stop procrastinating. Fill out your ballot either online or at left and enter now.
Who'll win? Voters in our Showcase polls opted for Sandra Bullock ("Gravity"), Matthew McConaughey ("Dallas Buyers Club") and, for best song, "Let It Go" ("Frozen") and "Happy" ("Despicable Me 2"), which tied. The final poll is for best director; vote at www.GoErie.com/showcase.
Oscar time is also party time, and not just for the nominees. One Night in Hollywood will roll out the red carpet -- yes, a real one.
"It's the biggest fundraiser for the Film Society of Northwestern Pennsylvania, and it's kind of a celebration of all things Hollywood," said John C. Lyons, the group's executive director. "We'll have our paparazzi there, taking pictures of people on the red carpet."
Joan Rivers won't be there to rip your outfit, which is a good thing. So is dressing up.
"People definitely dress up -- sequins for the ladies and really nice suits for the guys," Lyons said. "I think we saw some tuxes last year. We urge people to wear Oscar-worthy attire."
As you stroll in, party guests will see you on the event's screens.
VIP guests can enjoy pre-telecast music by DJ NatasK, Champagne service, special hors d'oeuvres and other perks.
Everyone can enter an Oscar pool and raffle drawings, and play assorted contests, including Oscar trivia, during commercials.
Your host Danielle Woods, a reporter at WJET-TV.
A handful of tickets remained at press time; check the event's website for details. But we have two tickets to give away to the party. For details on how to enter, visit the Showcase Facebook page. Deadline is Friday at 4 p.m.

Peter Appelbaum will speak about his book, Loyal Sons, which describes, for the first time in English, the experiences of Jews in the German army during the First World War.
The 21st century has seen a resurgence of interest in the works of Stefan Zweig, who was amongst the most acclaimed authors worldwide before he fell into obscurity. Mark Gelber (Ben Gurion University) and Birger Vanwesenbeck (SUNY) present two new books that reassess Zweig's legacy.
Luise Hirsch uses biography and social history to show how Russian- and German-Jewish women fought their way into the universities of Switzerland and Germany and became the first women professionals in modern history.
Jewish Pasts, German Fictions is the first comprehensive study of how German-Jewish writers used images from the Spanish-Jewish past to define their place in German culture and society.
Join LBI at the Conrad B. Duberstein US Bankruptcy Courthouse for a special program on Lawyers without Rights, a traveling exhibition about Jewish lawyers under the Nazi regime.
Around 30 Jewish chaplains served with honor and distinction in the German army during World War I, providing spiritual care for about 100,000 Jewish, as well as non-Jewish, soldiers, and also Jewish refugees made homeless by the Tsarist army
The sustained loyalty of the Jewish electorate to the Democratic party while other ethnic voters cast their ballots elsewhere has long puzzled political pundits and chagrined Republican stalwarts. Yet efforts to turn the Jewish vote have thus far failed. The majority of Jewish voters continue to pull down the democratic voting lever as if guided…
W. Michael Blumenthal escaped from Nazi Germany and became a leading business executive, Secretary of the Treasury , director of the Jewish Museum Belrin, and Leo Baeck Medal winner. He will discuss his extraordinary new memoir at Leo Baeck Institute.
New York audiences will soon have their first opportunity to see plays written and performed during the Holocaust that have been lost for over 60 years.
This event celebrates the publication of Against the Grain, Jewish Intellectuals in Hard Times, a volume that reveals how Jewish intellectuals from German-speaking Europe reacted to the multiple crises of the 20th century.

More bad news for President Obama as the October unemployment report was announced on Friday.
The economy added just 171,000 jobs in October, a rate that economists say just keeps pace with the growing working-age population.
The unemployment rate inched up from 7.8 percent to 7.9 percent, which is where unemployment was when President Obama took office.
President Obama faces voters on Tuesday with the highest unemployment rate of any incumbent since President Franklin Roosevelt.
The rate ticked up because more people without jobs started looking for work,and the government only counts people as unemployed if they are actively searching.
When those who have given up the job search are included, the unemployment rate is much higher.

Ferguson was born in Scotland, but seems to have trained in Holland, where he lived and married. He also travelled in France and Italy. This is typical of his many arrangements of dead game, although he also painted fanciful architectural subjects for overmantels and overdoors. Subjects such as these were admired as craftsmanlike renderings of nature, recalling a good day out hunting. Ferguson is known to have supplied a pair of such pictures specifically for the Duchess of Lauderdale's Private Closet at Ham House in the 1670s, indicating that they were considered particularly suitable as decoration for small, informal spaces.

About Lea Wiggins
This undiscovered artist began her career in 2004 with her introduction to fractal art. While Lea has a fine appreciation of most forms of art, her chosen medias are fractals and writing.
In Lea's gallery you will find art that will evoke emotions; joy, happiness, peace, harmony and perhaps sadness. There are many feelings and different atmospheres associated with fractal art, in those whose feelings are more finely tuned.
Art is the expression of life as seen through the eyes of the artist, the spirit, if you will; regardless of the media used for that expression.
For those not familiar with the artform of fractals, below you will find information that may be of interest.
Fractal art is a form of algorithmic art created by calculating fractal objects and representing the calculation results as still images, animations, and media. Fractal art developed from the mid 1980s onwards. It is a genre of computer art and digital art which are part of new media art. The Julia set and Mandlebrot sets can be considered as icons of fractal art.
Fractal art is not drawn or painted by hand. It is usually created indirectly with the assistance of fractal-generating software, iterating through three phases: setting parameters of appropriate fractal software; executing the possibly lengthy calculation; and evaluating the product. In some cases, other graphics programs are used to further modify the images produced. This is called post-processing. Non-fractal imagery may also be integrated into the artwork
Fractal art could not have developed without computers because of the calculative capabilities they provide. Fractals are generated by applying iterative methods to solving non-linear equations or polynomial equations. Fractals are any of various extremely irregular curves or shapes for which any suitably chosen part is similar in shape to a given larger or smaller part when magnified or reduced to the same size

Welcome to CPAPlus  Network
CPAPlus Network is a national, non-profit, peer-to-peer network of small CPA firms, formed to exchange best practices specific to our challenges and culture. Through the collective expertise and experiences of firms from across the country, we are effectively overcoming specific challenges many of us face.
The Network was created by CPAs for CPAs as a resource for improving efficiencies and increasing revenue. By sharing best practices through various methodologies, we have been able to produce effective systems without the high cost of traditional peer groups.
2016 Regional Meetings
CPAPlus Network Regional Meeting dates, locations, and topics have been established for all of 2016 and into January of 2017.  These regional meetings will be separated into three separate rounds:  The first beginning in the latter part of May, the second beginning in August, and the third beginning in November.  To schedule for any meeting(s), please e-mail Janette Phillimore at firstname.lastname@example.com, and indicate which meetings you wish to attend.
Each participant will receive 5-6 CPE for attendance.  The first round is listed below, with the rest of the year's dates listed on the Regional Meeting page.
Round 2:
Establishing Professional Service Agreements (PSAs) - Professional Service Agreements provide a platform on which we can transform clients' businesses and lives while significantly increasing billing.  This session will discuss how to do so during the second half of the year, and will include examples from member firms.
Overcoming Employee Attrition - Finding and retaining employees is proving to be a monumental challenge in our industry.  While we often blame the size of the talent pool or other external factors, the reality is that we must focus more on how we're developing, leading, and motivating our employees, ultimately creating dependence.
CPA Firm Leadership in 2016 - Choosing the right type of leadership for the right situation can make or break our ability to effectively guide clients and reduce employee burnout.  Often times, small firm practitioners use the wrong methods.  This session will focus on how to use leadership styles as tools for practice development and coaching clients.
Implementing Family Office Services - Unique ways to assist high net worth and ultra high net worth clients, going well beyond typical family office systems.

Our group rents a different property every summer. For us, we would probably not stay again because we like to be on a lake and have found other nice properties with lake access and more bathrooms that can accommodate our large group
However this home is perfect if you're okay with 5 minute walk to lake
Jeff was easy to work with - great communication - very professional
The front yard/porch area was beautiful, comfortable..absolutely great!
The kitchen/supplies were more than substantial everything you could need and then some
The extra normal sized fridge and freezer in garage was a nice surprise
Extra seating in garage was also a plus for those dinners when everyone ate together
Nice large firepit area
Lake was a bit of a walk - we knew that ahead of time but thought it would be closer than it was.
Only 2 bathrooms for 12 people and 5 bedrooms. On Vrbo the house advertises 2.5 baths but only 2 were open to us) - we knew that going into it but still would have been nice to have extra 1/2 half bath
Showers usually got hot enough - there were notes by the showers that said you may need to wait 5 minutes for the hot water - there were a couple times when people got a cold shower
We had a lovely weekend with family and friends.
This home would be great in the winter too.
My favorite part of the property is the yard - great for reading and enjoying the morning on the new porch, playing bocce ball and obviously the campfire. The kitchen and grill are more than adequate for meal prep and cooking. And the bedrooms are luxurious and comfortable. I look forward to staying here again!
The listing description was accurate, but pictures are misleading since the property is not ON the lake but about a 5 minute walk from the lake. Also it helps to know there are 6 double beds in the main house and 3 single beds in the guest house. The property was clean and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could need. Jeff, the owner, was very helpful before hand and with an overview upon arrival. He had explained that the hot water may need to run for 5 minutes before getting hot which was fine for a shower but not when just needing hot water to wash your hands. With past VRBO rentals there is a cleaning fee built into the cost of the property. Jeff had told us that we would receive our entire deposit back it we cleaned up before leaving. We were under the impression that meant a general cleaning. We mopped, vacuumed, cleaned bathrooms, cleaned the kitchen, wiped out the refrigerator and did at least six loads of towels and sheets and remade 6 of the 9 beds before the owner arrived. We were still charged $50 for the owner to clean the bathtub we never used, to run the dishwasher and to finish the wash for the last three beds. Usually, the VRBO owner has a cleaning service in between guests and we thought we had gone above and beyond in helping clean. The property is large and private, it was nice to have a bonfire and music and know that we weren't bothering neighbors. We had the teenagers sleep in the guest house - they loved the privacy and we loved the fact that we couldn't hear them! The front seating area is gorgeous with the fountain and the pergola. The inside decor is somewhat dated. You may want to bring your own pillow as the ones provided are a bit worn. Overall, it was a great weekend with friends and the property was perfect for a group our size, just would have liked to understand the expectations of the amount of cleaning needed. We would rather have had a set cleaning fee and not done any of it instead of spending hours cleaning and still being charged.
I wish we could of stayed longer. It was such a calm and relaxing property. Entering the giant gate and coming up on the house was such a welcoming feeling. Sitting on the veranda listening to the fountain bubble was my favorite spot. There is plenty of space on the outside of the property and on the inside. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. I slept in the room with the french doors, and it was one of the best nights of sleep I've had in a long time. There's enough rooms for everyone to go in and do their own thing. There's a TV area up and away from the main living room, and a completely separate guest house. We didn't have any kids up with us this time, but it would be a great place to send the kids/teenagers to have their own space, without being too far away. The property owner was great to deal with. Very accommodating. Gave us great advice on where to go and what to do in McGregor. Will definitely go back.
A beautiful setting for a peaceful weekend! After entering the big front gates, we found ourselves nestled amongst huge trees and lush green grass. The East-Coast, Martha's Vineyard looking house, presented us with a new white pergola, several decks and a tiered water fountain. The house is very spacious but comfortable, has stairs to the bedrooms but they were not a problem. So welcoming. Can't wait to visit again.
Very nice home with lots of room. We had 12 people stay for our week of family vacation,age from 68 down to a 1 1/2 year toddler. Jeff is very helpful with any needs you may have. This propery is very quiet you will feel like you are in the forest alone. The area water was very high so we were not able to enjoy the lake very much but did get some fishing in. If you have never done a VRBO this is a great one to start with no disappointment here. Pictures of the property are very accurate. Hope to stay again in the future

THE BIG GUY with the imposing dreads and the fierce demeanor at the door of the nightclub could be intimidating - if you didn't know him.
But as those regulars who got to know Oronde Gibson could tell you, he was a "lovable bear."
Oronde was the manager and guardian of the door at the former Club Fluid on South 4th Street, a nightclub popular with fans of hip-hop, soul and rap, delivered by exuberant DJs, who made the records shriek like bouncing banshees.
The crowd loved it. By midnight, the small dance floor was jammed, you had to wait in line to get a drink and the noise level was just this side of unbearable.

Deputy Defense Minister: Anyone Signing Interim Deal Is Out of Likud
Israeli Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon has announced that the Likud movement will not support a deal with the Palestinians which turns over our national assets in exchange for nothing. He threatened that whomever attempts to promote such a deal, thus showing that he opposes the Likud's ideals, would not remain in Likud.
Speaking on Kol Israel radio Tuesday morning, Danon said that the spirit of the "Oslo gang" which is being channeled nowadays by Minister Tzipi Livni, will never be brought back to life by the Likud movement.
Danon said that he trusts Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and is yet to hear from him that he supports an interim deal with the Palestinians.
"I believe that Netanyahu is aware of the pitfalls and has seen the failures of Oslo and the 'disengagement' (in Gush Katif, Gaza)," said Danon. "Anyone expecting us to act as contractors for the Israeli left is wrong."
Danon shared that he is anxious because the national camp, comprising the majority of the Likud Beiteinu Knesset delegation, as well as the entire Jewish Home party, are not represented in the U.S. driven negotiations with the Palestinians.
Israel's Channel 2 News on Monday night broadcast a similar report, that Deputy Minister Danon has attacked the prime minister forcefully in a closed meeting of the Likud delegation over the possibility of yet another interim deal (which would inevitably involve additional prisoner releases, more land turnovers, and some Palestinian access to East Jerusalem—in exchange for a signed piece of paper from the other side). Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein was also present at that meeting.
Danon, who is also the chairman of the Likud Conference, warned: "Should such an agreement come, the Likud movement must announce in advance that anyone who promotes such an agreement does not belong in the Likud."Yori Yanover

Chilean retailers have unveiled aggressive expansion plans for 2011. Bottom line growth and stock performance are not expected to hit last year's heady pace.
by Taina
"This year we should see
same-store sales increase about 10% for the majority of Chilean
retailers that operate department stores," says Félix
Lorenzo, portfolio manager and Chile country head at
LarrainVial's asset management unit. "This is a
good rate of growth, but it is below that seen in 2010, when
growth was around 15%-20%," he adds.
Chile's main retailers are Falabella and
Cencosud. As of third quarter 2010, the latest results
available, Falabella had revenue of $6.5 billion, up from $5.6
billion in the corresponding period of 2009. Cencosud booked
revenue of $3.1 billion in the third quarter of 2010, up...

Excuse the Valley Patriots if they'd like to prolong Richland Spring's frustrating near-misses at least one more season. There's too much riding on the outcome to be in the Christmas spirit of giving.
Richland Springs enters tonight's six-man state football championship with Valley with three seasons of tough playoff losses in their immediate past - all to the eventual state champions.
They've all been by a combined 12 points. The Coyotes lost to Whitharral in the title game in 2001, 27-20, then fell to Calvert, 60-57, in the 2002 quarterfinals, and lost, 56-54, last year to Strawn in the semifinals.
"We hope we can make it four,'' Valley coach Bret Tyler said.
This battle of 14-0 teams is set for 6 tonight at Shotwell Stadium in Abilene. The unbeaten records aren't the only similar numbers. They've mirrored each other in the road to the finals.
Offensively, they average just a little more than 55 points. Defensively, Valley has allowed 14.9 points, while Richland Springs has given up 12.3. Valley has won 11 games by the 45-point mercy rule, and Richland Springs has done it 10 times.
But they've had to survive tough playoff games too. Valley came from behind in the regional round to edge Paducah, 54-53, while the Coyotes rallied to stop Aspermont in regionals, 42-30, and then held off Throckmorton in the semifinals, 22-14.
"We look and see how hard we've worked to get to this point,'' Tyler said, "but they've had a long road too.''
But the teams have traveled it in a different manner. Valley employs a tight formation, pounding at teams with Fidel Valdes (1,625 yards, 33 TDs) and Alex Espinoza (1,312 yards, 24 TDs). Though Cody Barrett has thrown for 1,149 yards and 17 TDs, nearly 75 percent of the Patriots offense is off sweeps and leads.
Richland Springs is more wide-open, using a spread offense that revolves around freshman spread back Tyler Ethridge, who plays like anything but a freshman. Five seniors provide an exceptional and balanced supporting cast.
"He's (Ethridge) real good and real fast,'' Valley defensive end Charlie Walden said. "He's their best player. We got to put pressure on him where he can't just set up and throw.''
Actually, the best defense against the explosive Coyotes could well be Valley's patient offense. Tyler would like nothing more than to see the Patriots ball-control and move the chains and limit Richland Spring's snaps.
"They are so dangerous. We want to limit the number of times we give them possessions,'' Tyler said. "We need to run the ball effectively and take time off the clock. If we go three times and out, and have a couple of incompletions, and use up 30 seconds, that's just playing into their hands.''
Valley dusted off the passing game last week as Barrett threw for 164 yards and four touchdowns in a 55-44 win over Highland. His effectiveness, when used, could be a key.
"There's going to be situations where we'll have to pass to sustain drives, and completing those and keeping the clock going are going to be big,'' Tyler said.
Richland Spring employs an unusual defense that's basically like a man defense in basketball - get a man and stay on him.They blanked Aspermont in the second half of a 42-30 win and held Throckmorton to 14 points last week. Throckmorton scored 90 points the week before.
"They're real stout,'' Tyler said. "Anytime you can hold Throckmorton to 14 points, that's unbelievable.''
Valley is seeking the Panhandle-area's first six-man title in history, and the area's 17th state football championship. The Patriots are in rare underdog role with some believing the real state title game was last week against Throckmorton.
"We've not been the underdog all year,'' Tyler said. "This is a new role for us. Not many think we can win, and we'll use that for motivation. I hope they're overlooking us, but I don't think they will.''

Bay Area Homeownership Rises Among Asians
Homeownership among ethnic Asians in the Bay Area is rising. The 10 most common surnames among Bay Area home buyers last year were Vietnamese, Chinese or Korean, up from five of 10 in 1999, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of data provided by MDA DataQuick. While the surname Nguyen topped the list in both 2009 and 1999, Li, Wang, Liu, Huang and Chan knocked Smith, Johnson, Garcia, Williams and Miller out of the top 10 over the decade. The data jibe with trends tracked by the Census Bureau, which found that roughly 19% of homeowners in the San Francisco-San Jose-Oakland region in 2008 were Asian, up from about 15% in 2000. Over the same period, the percentage of Hispanic or Latino homeowners also rose, while the percentage of white homeowners—the largest group—declined. The percentage of African-American homeowners also fell. The data exclude mixed-ethnicity households.

9/10 Phil Staff review, 21 January 2010I went to see The Bunny & The Bull a couple of months ago and I was really impressed by the soundtrack. I was totally surprised when I found out it was the The Ralfe Band... One of many bands whose records arrive here who we never have time to play.... I always thought they were a bit pants (prob cos of the name) but I am totally wrong. The Bunny and The Bull soundtrack is awesome!! (that was my Business Lady-ism...) The music is created largely by piano, guitars, mandolin, accordion, strings and brass. You get downbeat pianoy almost neo classical tracks like 'Stephen' or Atlantis Rising', you get upbeat weird carnival circus type tunes like 'Museum', there's allsorts on here! It has a very European flavour but as it's a road movie about 2 nuggets going around Europe you'd expect that. Deffo some nods to Yann Tiersen and Carter Burwell at moments. This is a delightful album drenched in Western and European folk but the more mardy piano moments are the things doing it for me. By the way the film is worth seeing as well if you've not... Not as as funny as you'd expect coming from the Boosh stable but it's poignant and visually amazing! Excellent stuff!!

Rose McGowan and "GI Joe" Cast Joins "Conan the Barbarian" Remake
Posted: March 17th, 2010 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
Millennium Films has completed the cast for the "Conan the Barbarian" remake, adding Rose McGowan (Grindhouse), Stephen Lang (Avatar), Rachel Nichols (GI Joe), Ron Perlman (Hellboy), Said Taghmaoui (GI Joe) and Leo Howard (GI Joe) to star alongside Jason Momoa ("Stargate: Atlantis").
Based on the Robert E. Howard books, the film centers on the mythical hero (Momoa) driven to avenge the murder of his father (Perlman) and the slaughter of his village.
Lang will portray a sadistic warlord, and McGowan is to play an evil half-human/half-witch. Howard appears as young Conan, and Perlman portrays Conan's father.
Director Marcus Nispel (Friday the 13th) began filming on Monday in Sofia, Bulgaria. The film is tentatively set to hit theaters in 2011.
