AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Molecular Imprints, Inc., a technology leader in advanced semiconductor lithography, today announced the delivery of the first advanced lithography platform capable of patterning 450mm silicon wafer substrates. The Imprio® 450, was accepted by a leading semiconductor manufacturer at the end of 2012 and is now being used to support the 450mm wafer process development demands as part of a multi-year wafer services contract to facilitate the semiconductor industry's transition to lower cost 450mm wafer production. Robert E. Bruck, corporate vice president and general manager of Technology Manufacturing Engineering (TME) Intel Corporation showcased one of these first fully patterned 450mm wafers during SEMI's Industry Strategy Symposium (ISS) at Half Moon Bay, California on January 14th, 2013.

"The semiconductor equipment and manufacturer supply chain must have early access to high quality, fully patterned 450mm wafers in order to develop and optimize their products and processes in time for this transition", said Mark Melliar-Smith, President and CEO of Molecular Imprints. "Our proprietary Jet and Flash™ Imprint Lithography (J-FIL™) technology is the only lithographic solution available today that can meet the demanding fine feature requirements of the industry's 450mm transition . J-FIL™ technology has demonstrated 24nm patterning with exceptional line edge roughness (<2nm LER, 3 sigma) and critical dimension uniformity (1.2nm CDU, 3 sigma) with extensibility to 10nm using a simple single patterning step process. The Imprio® 450 platform has a new stage and universal substrate chuck design that enables both 300mm and 450mm wafers to be processed without interruption. Having this advanced lithography available now to support this global initiative will accelerate the semiconductor industry's transition to 450mm wafers by at least two years. In an era where multi- year and multi-billion dollar optical lithography development programs are becoming the norm we were able to design, build and deliver an advanced nanoimprint platform in just one year from receiving the customer's purchase order. I want to give a special thanks to the teams at Molecular Imprints, our semiconductor customer, and our supply chain that helped us realize this truly remarkable achievement."
J-FIL's inherent Cost of Ownership (CoO) advantages achieved by avoiding power limited EUV light sources, complex optical lenses and mirrors, and difficulties with imaging using ultrasensitive photoresists, make it well aligned with semiconductor memory manufacturing. This new 450mm patterning system acceptance coupled with our recent multiple module order announcement underscores Molecular Imprints tremendous progress towards placing J-FIL technology into high volume production of advanced CMOS devices.

Chris Kraus's Summer of Hate (Semiotext(e), 2012) It might take a decade or two, but eventually people will come around to the fact that this is the most definitive novel of the Bush Years we're likely to get. One of few novels brave enough to delve into the concept of moral integrity in the context of American intellectual life, it only reveals that every act of generosity is doomed to fail when it is performed within the context of a hyper-capitalistic infrastructure. A novel that shows how truly nightmarish this world has become at the hands of power-hungry men unable to exercise any foresight beyond their own petty wants, and who thus rationalize their promotion of greed as the sole model of desire for the disenfranchised, whose sole option is to follow course and fuck over those who have the potential to offer them genuine help. Most importantly, Kraus shows that there really is a hidden causality behind having shitty luck: Once branded a loser, you'll remain a loser, and the ways out that the branders provide you with are actually tools for digging yourself further into an inescapable nightmare, and a "good day" is one in which you are simply left alone for once.

Oshatoes® hopes you're enjoying this Thanksgiving Day. In light of family, friends, food and fun, we thought it appropriate to shed light on the biggest turkey day myth of them all!
Myth  - Turkey makes you sleepy.
If you find yourself ready for a good nap after your Thanksgiving Day meal, you are not alone. No matter how cool the parade or which football teams are playing, many Americans find themselves nodding off after the turkey has been decimated. But why?
We often think it's due to the amount of L-Tryptophan which is an essential amino acid. Follow us for a moment, L-Tryptophan is used by the body to produce niacin. Stay with us, niacin is a B vitamin that helps with digestion, nerves, skin and…serotonin. Serotonin is a chemical in the brain that lifts mood, helps with pain and improves sleep because… Serotonin is what makes the hormone Melatonin!!! Ahhhhh there it is – Melatonin. That wonderful hormone that helps control sleep and wake cycles!
Great. Now we know what Tryptophan does but does it really make us sleepy? The answer is – not really. In truth, turkey doesn't have anymore Tryptophan than other kinds of poultry. In fact, Tryptophan is also found in chicken, duck, red meat, fish, yogurt and milk among others.
To further our point, the following foods have more Tryptophan in them than turkey:
- Mozzarella Cheese
- Parmesan Cheese
- Cheddar Cheese
- Bacon
- Pumpkin Seeds
- Soybeans
- Oat Bran
- Tofu
The more likely reason for our Turkey Day Sleepiness is Carbs. That's right. Many of our favorite holiday foods are loaded with carbohydrates which makes Tryptophan more available to the brain. It is these carb heavy meals that are responsible for our need to nap. Carbs and perhaps the fact that a majority of us rise at dawn to begin preparing our Thanksgiving Day Feast!
Bottom Line : Eat the Turkey. Take a Nap. You've earned it!
Happy Thanksgiving from OSHATOES®.
      The fourth Thursday each November is one where families and friends gather, football games are cheered for, parades are enjoyed and feasts abound across the nation. This Thursday is Thanksgiving. A day set aside to give thanks for all we have. A day to recognize our blessings. A day for us to put away disagreements and have grateful hearts.
To whom and what do we owe this day of Thanks? As any pre-schooler knows, we owe this day to the Pilgrims! What they did was extraordinary.
The Pilgrims set sail September 1620 in search of religious and civil freedom. It is hard to imagine over 100 passengers, their many belongings and most likely a few farm animals, taking such a risk. The perils of the unforgiving sea, close quarters and uncertain journey would be enough to turn even the heartiest person away. Yet they did set sail. They did cross the ocean. They did battle stormy seas to land at Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts. December 11, 1620 the Pilgrims disembarked and began a new life.
They survived the voyage but life was no bed of roses. Close to 50 Pilgrims died that first winter due to the extreme cold for which they were unprepared. Spring 1621 brought forth help in the form of an Native Indian named Squanto. Squanto taught the Pilgrims to plant and grow food to sustain them during the harsh winters. Unfortunately the Pilgrims faced drought and other hardships however, they held fast to their beliefs, praying for days. Rain did come and their crops were saved. The corn harvest was a success!
The resulting celebration became the now known Thanksgiving. (While the Jamestown settlers held a day of Thanks in 1607, the Plymouth Pilgrims were the first to hold a 3 day festival of feasting and prayer.)
Pilgrim Edward Winslow described the celebration :
"Our harvest being gotten in, our governor sent four men on fowling, that so we might after a special manner rejoice together after we had gathered the fruit of our labors. They four in one day killed as much fowl as, with a little help beside, served the company almost a week. At which time, amongst other recreations, we exercised our arms, and many of the Indians coming amongst us, and among the rest their greatest king Massasoit, with some ninety men, whom for three days we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed five deer, which they brought to the plantation and bestowed on our governor, and upon the captain and others. And although it be not always so plentiful as it was at this time with us, yet by the goodness of God, we are so far from want we often wish you partakers of our plenty."
OSHATOES® wishes you plenty this season. Plenty of family, friends, fun and food. Plenty of Thanks for those who went before us. Plenty.
Happy Thanksgiving.
It's not only cold out there, it's SNOW out there and that's Snow Kidding! OSHATOES® hopes you're warm and toasty. With Snow covering much of the United States, chances are you're not as warm as you'd like to be.
Snow can be great fun. Snow skiing, sledding, skating, snow ball fights, building snowmen. All worthwhile and fun endeavors for awhile. For parts of the U.S. the snow is so deep, it's dangerous. The extreme weather is causing accidents, falling trees, and power outages. In some areas the snow has covered doors and windows, breaking some of them in the process. OSHATOES® wants you to put safety forefront in your mind.
Let's talk Snow Safety.
You already know the basics – Dress in layers, wear a hat, gloves, but today we'll put a bit more thought into it.
Eye Protection – Sunlight shining on the snow is a beautiful sight. It can also be blinding. Always wear sunglasses to fight winter sun glare. However, you don't have to stop at sunglasses. When outside in the wintry elements you are exposed to falling icicles, sleet, and freezing rain all of which could cause an eye injury. Whether playing or shoveling snow, you need to wear eye protection. OSHATOES® is proud to offer a line of eye protection designed with your comfort and safety in mind.
Our products feature :
- Polycarbonate lens
- Treated with Duramass® scratch-resistant coating
- Gel nose piece
- Rubber head grips
- Filters 99% of U.V. radiation
- Meets or exceeds ANSI Z87.1 safety standards
Hand Protection – If you live in an area that averages more than a few inches of snowfall a year, you're probably familiar with shoveling snow. Snow shoveling is a laborious task. Bend with your knees, not your back, etc… Anytime you are out in the elements, you need to wear gloves, When working with shovels and such, you need to take it up a notch – work gloves are called for. Once again, OSHATOES® to the rescue!
Our Original Work Grip Gloves feature :
- Two-way form-fitting stretch Spandex back
- Concealed interior seam prevents snagging
- Dual-layered Silicone palm with circular print pattern affords maximum grip on slippery surfaces
- Synthetic leather fingertip reinforcements provide strength and protection
- Streamlined elastic cuff with hook and loop closure
OSHATOES® wants you to get out there and enjoy the snow but be safe about it. Protect yourself from the elements. A little safety and preparation goes a long way. Have fun.
Be Smart. Be Safe. Think OSHATOES®.
Mandated paid vacation? Holiday time? How about required maternity leave? None of those are a given if you work in the United States. And they're just a few of the problems facing the U.S. along with the fact that it has some of the most overworked, stressed out employees in the world. With the holidays quickly approaching, now may not be the best time to look for a new job. However, if you find yourself ready for a change, let's take a peek at some of the best countries to work in.
Netherlands - This country wins hands down when it comes to fewest hours worked per week. Employees there work an average of 27.6 hours per week, enjoy 28 paid vacation days annually, and 16 weeks of paid maternity leave at 100% salary. Think that sounds crazy? It definitely seems to be working well. The Netherlands has a high standard of living in addition to a healthy GDP.
Denmark – The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) ranked Denmark #1 for best work / life balance. Less than .04% of employees work 50+ hours a week. Employees here receive an average of 34 paid vacation days and 52 weeks of paid maternity leave! Yeah, you read that right. ONE YEAR of paid maternity leave! Sweeeet!!
Brazil – This is a country that knows "all work and no play" makes for very dull employees! Brazil offers a total of 41 vacation days. 30 of those are to be used for leisure while the other 11 are paid holidays.
Lithuania – With 28 mandated vacation days and 13 public holidays, Lithuania ties Brazil with most paid vacation days also coming in at 41. This country also offers 52 weeks of 100% paid maternity leave. Employees even have the option to extend those benefits over a two year period!
Sweden – This country also ranks high for parental leave. 480 days paid parental leave, 60 of those are for the fathers. Best part? Those days may be used over the course of their child's first eight years of life. Sweden also makes the OECD top ten list for best work / life balance. In addition, workers there receive 36 paid vacation days annually.
OSHATOES® knows Safety. No matter where you live or work…
Be Smart. Be Safe. Think OSHATOES®.

Brrrrrrrrrrrr. Whether you call it an arctic front, arctic blast, intrusion, or polar vortex, it is some kind of COLD across most of the United States. And it's only November. Yikes. This is seriously unseasonably cold weather folks! High temperatures have dropped 20-30 degrees in a 24 hour period with more frigid temps on the way. Hopefully the Brrrr won't last very long but as always OSHATOES® is dedicated to keeping you in the know.
Cold Weather Tips
- Clothing – Dress in layers during cold weather. Layering helps keep heat in. Always remember your gloves and hat. Double up on those socks if really cold. Wear warm shoes designed to keep moisture out.
- Car – Have your vehicle serviced and winterized before the cold is in full swing. Checking fluid levels, tire pressure, adding anti-freeze  and checking wiper blades make for easier travels ahead.
- Pets and Plants – Bring them in! Most plants can't survive extreme cold. If you can't bring them inside, cover them with a blanket or plastic. Pets should be brought in. Imagine walking around in the frigid cold without shoes on. Doesn't sound too appealing does it? While most pets wear a natural fur coat, it doesn't offer much protection for their feet. Even if you can't bring them into your house, consider setting them up in a garage or other area away from the elements.
- Thermostat Challenge – If at all possible set your thermostat at 68 degrees. For some people that may seem too chilly but it will keep your heating costs down. Your home is your castle and you deserve to be comfortable. Keep the heat at 68 and throw on a pair of socks or walk around barely dressed and crank the heat? Decide for yourself but we vote to keep as much money in our pockets as possible.
- Fire – Since the dawn of time, fire has been a good thing. It's even better when you're curled up in front of the fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa and some s'mores but before you light it up, check it out! Safety first. Make sure your chimney is checked yearly. Animals will sometimes build nests which can lead tor house fires. Always use a screen to keep embers or sparks from popping out and to keep logs from rolling. ALWAYS make sure all embers have burned out before leaving fireplace unattended.
- Give space heaters some space – Use the 3ft rule. Create a 3ft. buffer zone for any space heater. Keep them away from curtains, rugs, bedding, anything flammable. Only place them on hard, level surfaces and always turn them off when unattended.
- Protect Pipes – When the temps go below freezing you need to prepare. Leave faucets dripping, open cabinet doors, cover outdoor spigots and shut off outdoor water valves when possible.
- Wind -Â Cold is cold but the wind is colder. The wind can make a 35 degree temp feel like 14! Keep the wind chill in mind when dressing. Winter winds can be dangerous causing trees and limbs to fall. Check your property for dead trees, limbs and branches. Remove any that may be of concern. You really don't want to deal with a hole in your roof when it is below freezing!
A little preparation goes a long way toward keeping you and your family safe. OSHATOES® hopes you stay warm and toasty all season long!
Be Smart. Be Safe. Think OSHATOES®.

Parents to see schools row test paper: Patten hits back at boycott
Monday 07 June 1993
John Patten, Secretary of State for Education, said on the BBC television Breakfast with Frost programme: 'I think most people will look at the papers and wonder what on earth the fuss was about, and wonder why their children have not been asked to take them.'
He said the English papers - the catalyst for the boycott by the three biggest teacher unions - were 'very straightforward and very practical, and just the kind of thing parents would like to see their children doing'.
Mr Patten, however, knows that the English tests, which should have been administered to every state-school 14- year-old today, will go ahead in only a few schools.
Further English tests are scheduled for Wednesday, followed by maths on Friday, technology on Monday next week, and science the day after. Mr Patten said that he would publish all papers over the next 10 days.
David Hart, general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, said: 'Once again he is in grave danger of shooting himself in the foot.
'Publishing the test papers will not in any way alter the basic fact that, by his own admission, this year's tests, in English and technology in particular, are in need of substantial revision next year.
'Nothing can save John Patten from a pretty comprehensive defeat over this year's tests, because we know that very few schools are going to be administering them.'
Mr Hart also lamented Mr Patten's suggestion that he may legislate to force teachers to administer the tests next summer. 'That would be a hugely dangerous move, because it would antagonise teachers at a time when we stand a reasonable chance of getting next year's testing and assessment arrangements established on a better footing.'

A look inside Lamar and Khloe's Dallas home

When reality TV star Khloe Kardashian Odom and her Dallas Mavericks husband, Lamar Odom, went house shopping late last year, it was met with plenty of media coverage and even a little controversy.
Several Dallas area Realtors said they had been retained by the couple to find a home and said they deserved the commission.
The Odoms eventually settled on a two-bedroom condo at the W Dallas Victory Hotel & Residences in the Victory Park area near American Airlines Center.
E! Online has an inside look at the Odoms' new digs that the couple is leasing for $7,500 from the condo's owner, Mack Hicks, son of Tom Hicks, former owner of the Texas Rangers and Dallas Stars.

Help for Hospital-Based Massage Therapy
By Tracy Walton, LMT, MS
As interest in hospital-based massage therapy grows, more and more massage therapists want to work in hospitals. Many have asked for guidance in starting and joining hospital-based massage therapy (HBMT) programs. Massage therapists have much to offer the hospital setting. With skilled touch and caring hearts, massage therapists are a natural fit. We can support patients, families and hospital staff, where our services are badly needed. It is an exciting time to be learning, teaching and serving in these settings.
For many therapists, the point of entry into hospital work is oncology massage. These two movements — hospital-based massage therapy and oncology massage — serve each other. To the many therapists interested in HBMT, I offer the Society for Oncology Massage, on the growing list of resources below.
Although there is increased interest in HBMT, massage therapists face many challenges in starting up programs and even working in existing programs. Many of these challenges are educational: most basic massage training programs do not adequately prepare massage therapists for electronic medical records, HIPAA, hospital culture and the norms of professional behavior. Likewise, skills in program development and massage protocols for hospital settings are not typically part of basic education. Moreover, many massage therapists tell me how overwhelmed and under prepared they feel when working with the complex medical conditions and varied client presentations they find in the hospital setting. As a profession, we have a lot to learn.
The following are some valuable HBMT resources:
The National Conversation
These are just some of the resources that are contributing to the national conversation about hospital-based massage. That conversation should answer important questions including: How can we prepare the profession to move into this setting? What will it take for massage therapy to assume a greater role in health care? How can massage therapists work more skillfully with people with complex medical conditions, in and out of the hospital? How will we need to improve our skills in interviewing, charting, hands-on applications, clinical decision-making and using research evidence?
The answers to these questions and others will deepen our skills and move our profession forward. Patients, caregivers, hospital staff and the massage profession will benefit when we can answer the call to work in the hospital setting. Then we will move firmly into place in health care.

The incident happened at Templemore Sports Complex on Saturday morning.
It is understood both men were led from the building after a heated exchange took place. They were then spoken to by police.
Derry City Council said: "An individual who was involved in an alleged exchange of words agreed to leave the count centre. The priority for the DRO is to ensure there is no disruption to the count."
Colm Eastwood MLA of the SDLP described the incident as a "storm in a teacup".
He added: "I think at this time of year there is always tension and sometimes tension within political parties but it's a bit of a storm in a teacup and I don't think we will be too worried."
A statement from police said they are investigating what happened.
It went on: "Police received a report of an incident inside the Templemore Sports Complex in Londonderry this morning. Police inquiries into the incident are ongoing."

Grove iPhone 5 Bamboo Case
Finding the perfect case for your iPhone 5 is no easy task. After all, the iPhone is thinner than ever, in addition to being lighter. In fact, the idea of adhering a case to the anodized aluminum body seems to go against logic since the iPhone 5 is not only more svelte than its predecessor, but should now prove far tougher with the removal of that glass back.
Nevertheless, we've always been fans of the Grove's Bamboo cases. The company is based out of Oregon, and has been crafting Bamboo cases for the iPad and iPhone for sometime now. And much like the iPhone 5, their newest case for the handset is said to be tougher and thinner than previous models. The outside is precision milled from a solid block of bamboo, while the interior is lined with a plant fiber composite to add another layer of protection. The solid bamboo exterior is made of 100% post-consumer fibers and renewable bamboo, and is bound together using water based resins. In short order, this case is environmentally friendly.
You can preorder the Grove iPhone 5 case now and you'll enjoy a $20 discount, bringing the total price to $59. Otherwise, it will cost $79 when it begins to ship.

This is a simple yet sexstastic dress.
It fits most bodies and the length is 51'' from the neckline which is adjustable with a tie.
the drop on the back will give extra curve appeal to your body lines.
I have designed it in June 2012 and since it has been my best sale.
So far I have changed print as often as possible and only three have been reproduced more than 2 times so the chances of your running int someone with the same is near to nil.
This product is for sale

Kim Dotcom Called 'Political Sugar Daddy' for Using Money to Gain Influence and Escape Extradition
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Reissa Su | August 7, 2014 12:39 PM EST
New Zealand Prime Minister John Key has accused Kim Dotcom of being a "political sugar daddy" for "dabbling" in the coming election in the hopes of escaping U.S. extradition. The German founder of formerly popular file-sharing site Megaupload is now based in New Zealand and formed the Internet Party ahead of New Zealand's September 20 election. He has since formed an alliance with the Mana party.
Kim Dotcom speaks during an interview with Reuters in Auckland January 19, 2013.
Since Dotcom is not a New Zealand citizen, he cannot run in the upcoming election. Mr Key said the Mana party has only "aligned" itself with Dotcom because he is investing NZ$3 million in the joint campaign.
The prime minister has long questioned Dotcom's motives when he decided to get involved in New Zealand politics. He suggested Dotcom may be trying to gain political influence to help his online piracy case.
Mr Key told TV3 that Dotcom was a "sugar daddy" and a "chequebook" to Mana. He said there was no need to deny that Dotcom was trying to stop his extradition to the U.S. and avoid persecution.
Dotcom is confident his Internet Mana Party will get 5 per cent of the votes in New Zealand's upcoming election in September. According to reports, Dotcom's political party is predicted to appeal to the young and first-time voters. The web tycoon has repeatedly clashed with Mr Key for spying claims and promised to remove the National Party from the government.
The Internet Mana party is advocating Internet freedom, faster and cheaper Internet, copyright law reforms and free tertiary education. The new alliance named Laila Harre its new leader and she is expected to set a coherent policy platform. She pledged to give young Kiwis a "future in the digital economy."
Dotcom is facing extradition to the US for charges of copyright infringement and racketeering. He said he will give Kiwi voters the chance to change the status quo. At the launch of the party, Mr Dotcom said the Internet Party is for those who haven't voted before and felt disappointed by current political choices.

Tom Smart, Deseret News Archives
SALT LAKE CITY — President Brigham Young was a remarkable, creative designer and overseer of the buildings put up during his tenure as president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a side of him that's not wholly appreciated, according to church history curator Emily Utt.
Utt said she became interested in President Young's designs and influence after hearing anecdotal stories at various Mormon landmark buildings, stories that were largely inaccurate but intriguing.
She researched extensively, studying letters from son Joseph W. Young to Brigham Young, minutes from meetings involving various buildings and office files.
"His name just kept popping up. Brigham Young was the pacemaker. He valued building. He was very involved in the details, even with the furniture. He had a very good eye. He was a very hands-on president. People listened to him," Utt said. "It gives a little bit of a twist to him."
She believes people greatly underestimate President Young's place in the architectural profession of the mid-19th century.
"I have built a great many houses, both for myself and for others. I have never built two houses alike, and I do not expect to in time or eternity, but I mean to improve every time I begin," President Young said.
President George A. Smith called him "our only architect."
Utt explains her findings in presentations to civic groups such as the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers by first outlining how people looked at building and architecture.
"Historically, buildings were designed by two types of people: the gentleman architect (think Thomas Jefferson types) who were seldom paid for their work and really designed for their friends or for patrons. The other type was the master builder, generally a carpenter, mason, or some other type of expert in the building trade with years of construction experience. Their designs may not be elegant but they are perfect in the details and specifications."
Utt said President Young fell into both categories.
His early job training was as a carpenter, painter and glazer, and his skills — combined with his finishing abilities as a painter and window maker — would have made him a prime candidate to become a master builder.
His professional aspirations as a builder come to a stop when he became the LDS Church's president. A story told in "40 Ways to Look at Brigham Young" by Chad Orton and Bill Slaughter tells of Jedediah M. Grant seeking President Young out on a public matter and finding him shingling a roof. Brigham Young told him to come back later. Grant replied: "Now, Brother Brigham. Don't you think it is time you quit pounding nails and spending your time in work like this? We have many carpenters but only one governor and one president of the church. The people need you more than they need a good carpenter." President Young came down off the roof and seldom thereafter spent his days in manual labor.
His professional career may have ended, but his interest in architecture and building continued, Utt said.
Brigham Young became an architect, the tastemaker and style setter for early Utah Saints.
He advocated for construction of buildings and encouraged the best and finest in design. In 1860, he called church members to task for not building as they should. "You need to build beautiful things," he told them, even if they expected to relocate soon.
Some of the projects he was involved with as church president included:

Dear Parishioners:
Advent is a season that seems to get lost in our culture. Because we so often think of the month of December as "the Christmas season" and use this time to busily prepare our homes for the holidays, we often neglect to prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ.
My hope is that our parish Advent brochure will provide a way of making your Advent journey more meaningful.
One way to prepare our hearts and more fully experience Jesus' coming is through deepening and growing in our relationship with God. Because God is so much greater than our minds can even begin to comprehend, we can only know God through glimpses, through reflections. That is what our weekly Advent parish email reflections, and mailed brochure will provide.
My hope is that they will offer a means of knowing God deeper, and God will become more real to you. Please watch for our weekly parish reflections through emails and at our faith enrichment tables in church. As you take time with these Advent opportunities may they deepen your relationship with God so that you may more fully experience the celebration of the coming of Christ.
Yours in Christ,
Fr. Andrew
St Paul says:
Let us do good to all men, but especially to those who are of the household of the Faith."
Throughout the world, but especially in the Middle East, our Christian brothers and sisters are facing persecution, ethnic cleansing, martyrdom and genocide.
As sisters and brothers in Christ, we are one with them through our baptism.
This symbol is the Arabic "N" - this symbol has been painted on the houses of Christians to identify them for martyrdom and to mark out their presence, similar to the use of the Star of David by the Nazis. The Arabic letter "Nun" is the first letter of the word "Nasrani" or "Nasarean/Nazarene" - the Muslim word of contempt for Christians.
I ask your participation in three ways:

Donna Smith's son was shot dead four months ago in Co Donegal but she says she's disgusted that the police on this side of the border still haven't met with her.
The 24-year-old father of two was shot dead on 9 February at Links View Park, near Buncrana.
Originally from the Waterside area, he was one of a number of Derry men forced into exile by the dissident group Republican Action Against Drugs (RAAD).
Since then, his mother has publicly urged people to work with and co-operate the police in Northern Ireland.
But despite her very public support, the PSNI has not met with her.
She told UTV: "I haven't had one person from the PSNI come to me and ask me anything or tell me anything. I haven't had no contact with them at all.
"Not one person has come near me which I think is disgraceful."
The grieving mother says the only way forward is for the community to support the police - but she says that the relationship can only succeed if the support is reciprocated.
She continued: "I feel very, very let down. I feel very let down."
The PSNI haven't yet met Donna Smith due to strict protocols preventing them from treading on an investigation in another jurisdiction.
An Garda Síochána is leading the murder inquiry because her son was shot dead across the border in Co Donegal.
However, it has now been agreed that PSNI detectives will meet her later this week to reassure her that every effort is being made to catch her son's killers.

Nashville, TN (SportsNetwork.com) - Ondrej Pavelec turned away 39 shots to backstop the surging Winnipeg Jets to a 3-1 win over the Nashville Predators.
Olli Jokinen, Andrew Ladd and Devin Setoguchi each scored for the Jets, who are now 11-3-1 since Paul Maurice took over as head coach.
"If he could see it (the puck) for the most part he had it," Maurice said of Pavelec. "He was our best player tonight."
Simon Moser's first NHL goal summed up the Predators' offense, while Carter Hutton gave up three goals on 20 shots in defeat. Nashville has dropped four of its last five games.
"They capitalized on a couple chances that they had and we didn't," said Predators head coach Barry Trotz. "At the end of the day, our game was pretty good in a lot of areas."
Winnipeg got second-period goals from Jokinen and Ladd before Moser's tip put the Predators on the board at the 9:11 mark of the third period.
Setoguchi restored the Jets' two-goal advantage with 3:52 remaining. Blake Wheeler helped set up the goal, blazing down the left wing. Hutton made a pad stop on Wheeler, but Setoguchi knocked in the rebound.
After a scoreless first period, Jokinen beat Hutton high on the right side on a shot from the left circle at 5:02 of the second.
Ladd made it 2-0 when he got his stick on Zach Bogosian's shot and redirected it past Hutton with 1:42 remaining.
The loss snapped the Predators' four-game home winning streak against the
