Upstage Academy teaches a wide range of skills including acting, dancing and singing. This combination offers children and adults between the ages of 2 and 100 a unique opportunity for self-development. Upstage academy was created in June 2008 out of a desire to make fitness and fun more accessible to more kids.
Our aim was, and still is, to provide a greater amount of opportunities for kids to develop their skills, confidence and ability, and in turn, realise the potential of their talents. By making physical activity fun, we hope to get more kids active and involved in a variety of fitness and performance activities.
In our relatively short existence, we have continued to see the importance of our role and we still remain totally committed to developing this even further. Amongst the hundreds of kids that we have come in contact with, we have taken huge pleasure in seeing so many of them improve their basic skills, grow in confidence, take on new challenges and push themselves beyond all previous limits. Most importantly however, we have taken greatest pleasure in putting smiles on faces and seeing kids enjoy doing what comes naturally to them…..being kids.
Our wide range of experience and transferrable skills has allowed us to grow the business into as many different areas as possible and we have been able to establish a strong reputation in each of the strands that we cover. Our spread spans to schools, nurseries, out of school clubs, special needs establishments, local authorities, sporting organisations, health and fitness clubs and private individuals. Within each of these, we are able to provide entertainment, health and fitness, sporting development, advice and consultancy, and training and support for staff working with children.

I'm an idealist. I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way.
The Sea's Wash In The Hollow Of The Heart...
by Denise Levertov
Turn from that road's beguiling ease; return
to your hunger's turret. Enter, climb the stair
chill with disuse, where the croaking toad of time
regards from shimmering eyes your slow ascent
and the drip, drip, of darkness glimmers on the stone
to show you how your longing waits alone.
What alchemy shines from under that shut door,
spinning out gold from the hollow of the heart?
Enter the turret of your love, and lie
close in the arms of the sea; let in new suns
that beat and echo in the mind like sounds
risen from sunken cities lost to fear;
let in the light that answers your desire
awakening at midnight with the fire,
until its magic burns the wavering sea
and flames carress the windows of your tower.

I felt it should be mentioned that the WBO orchestra is a professional, union, tenured group.The conductors change every show, but with few exceptions, the orchestra does not. Some of us have been playing with the orchestra for over 20 years! I think the management of the WBO deserves credit for maintaining this dedicated group over the years.We love playing opera and look forward to each production. Wish all of the West Bay( and beyond) would come to see and hear us.

10 Essentials: Todd Snyder
One of GQ's Best New Menswear Designers tells us about his favorite Japanese hardware store, the small batch whiskey he loves, and his 60-year-old denim
When Todd Snyder was 24 years old he had an idea for a shirt he couldn't find anywhere else. He was interning at Ralph Lauren, and in his free time at home, he cut and sewed the shirt himself. When he wore it to work and the design director asked him where he got it, Snyder realized he might be onto something."I didn't really wait for someone to tell me to go do something," he says,"I just went and did it."
After cutting his teeth at Polo and helping bring J.Crew to the menswear masses, Snyder left right after opening the J.Crew Liquor Store, three days before Lehman Brothers went south. Still, he had to do it.
"I knew if I didn't start my own line, I would always regret it," Snyder says."And now, after doing it, it's the best thing I ever did. It's been a dream come true for me, seeing how many people are responding to it. It really re-instills the reason I got into fashion."
Recently named one of GQ's Best New Menswear Designers in America, Snyder is one to watch out for. As GQ creative director Jim Moore said,"Todd Snyder has arrived."

Stress pitches vs. pitch count
When your favorite starter's pitch count climbs, don't panic -- check the Leverage Index
Editor's note: Hot Stove U. is a six-week course devoted to higher learning, a series consisting of 30 need-to-know topics for 2010. This is the final edition.
The setup
On June 2 of last season, heading into the top of the ninth inning with the Toronto Blue Jays up 6-4 over the visiting Los Angeles Angels, Toronto manager Cito Gaston sent Roy Halladay back to the mound. Halladay already had thrown 116 pitches in the game.
Modern pitch-count orthodoxy would have had Halladay out of this midseason game at least 10 pitches earlier. So the question stands: Why would Gaston send him back out?
Obviously, Halladay is not some young pitcher who needs to be babied, but even so, 116 pitches is a lot. Why tempt fate with one of the game's best pitchers and potential trade bait (with the trade deadline less than two months away) for a team that almost certainly would not be making the postseason?
In the end, Halladay closed out the game with 133 pitches, giving his team the victory. Did Gaston put Halladay's arm at risk, or did he realize that not all pitchers are the same?
Those questions are relevant, but we're here to demonstrate something else: Not all pitches are created equal.
Who threw the most stress pitches in the game in 2009? To check it out and get a detailed explanation of why stress pitches matter more than raw pitch count, you need to be an ESPN Insider.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
12 days of suspense
OK, who gets 12 days off at Christmas, anyway? And who reads a book a day?
With that disclaimer, here's a baker's dozen (with a tie for first) of the year's best thrillers, mysteries and crime novels — the 12 Days of Suspense — to spice up the stocking of any favourite whodunit fan on Santa Day.
Day No. 12: Cell 8, by Anders Roslund and Borge Hellstrom (SilverOak, 376 pages, $28): A riveting death-penalty thriller by Swedish duo Anders Roslund and Borge Hellstrom, starring truly idiosyncratic Det. Supt. Ewert Grens.
How a convicted murderer lives under an assumed name in Stockholm, six years after his supposed death at an Ohio prison, gets pretty convoluted. But the sleazy international bartering that returns him to Death Row is chillingly plausible, and the ending is inspired.
No. 11: Broken Harbour, by Tana French (Hodder & Stoughton, 496 pages, $35): In a new but recession-stalled Dublin suburb, detective Mick Kennedy discovers the insidious role of broken dreams in the murders of a typical family man and his two children, as well as the frailty of his own memories. A gripping dissection of real folks buried in the rubble of the imploded Irish Tiger economy.
No. 10: Hard Knocks, by Howie Carr (Forge, 352 pages, $29): Jack Reilly, a disgraced ex-cop and former city hall fixer, now works for slippery politicians, digging up dirt on rivals. Then he hits a motherlode he doesn't want — ledgers recording three decades of payoffs and dirty deals that put deranged mobsters, crooked pols, bent cops and a hot reporter on his tail. Ya gotta love heroes with feet of clay, and this scrappy Boston crime journo's seamy debut novel is a rollicking good show from start to finish.
No. 9: The Placebo Effect, by David Rotenberg (Touchstone, 352 pages, $30): Decker Roberts is a "synesthete," whose awareness mixes several senses and allows him to detect lies infallibly. That makes him a modern-day truthsayer — and the target of a pharmaceutical kingpin and a National Security Agency operative trying to protect (and use) such "special talents." Ranging from Rotenberg's Toronto to a racetrack of U.S. cities, it's a moody, one-step-removed thriller starring a harried and haunted hero in the first of what promises to be a smart, intriguing trilogy.
No. 8: Woman Chased by Crows, by Marc Strange (ECW, 416 pages, $25): Published just days before his death from cancer at age 70, this second Orwell Brennan mystery by celebrated Toronto actor, director and screenwriter Marc Strange (The Beachcombers) is vivid, emotionally complex and elegantly crafted.
No. 7: The Prophet, by Michael Koryta (Little, Brown, 416 pages, $29): The Crown Prince of Creepy swaps supernatural dread for Shakespearean morality play, proving can serve up both terror and tragedy with equal vigour and elan.
Still driven by guilt over the decades-old slaying of their sister, two estranged brothers — one a God-fearing high-school football coach, the other a bad-seed bail bondsman — find themselves threatened and engaged by a new, similar murder.
No. 6: Hanging Hill, by Mo Hayder (HarperCollins, 432 pages, $23): This Brit rising star pens character-driven anti-thrillers, where tension is subtly ratcheted into a lingering pall of menace.
The ritual-like murder of a popular teen in the West Country city of Bath sparks a tale of two sisters — outré and factious Det. Insp. Zoe Benedict and her struggling, divorced sister Sally. A top-notch cliffhanger.
No. 5: Creole Belle, by James Lee Burke (Simon & Schuster, 544 pages, $32): The 19th tag-team bout featuring iconic Louisiana cop Dave Robicheaux and hair-trigger PI Clete Purcel against Burke's familiar targets — corrupt politicians, venal corporations and amoral rich folks, all despoilers of his cherished bayou.
It may not be the Montana-Louisiana legend's absolute best, but all that matters is that Burke speaks in the most richly lyrical of regional voices.
No. 4: The Gods of Gotham, by Lindsay Faye (Amy Einhorn, 432 pages, $28): This blazing historical thriller is so thoroughly researched, brilliantly conceived and viscerally executed that the "brutal, greedy, frenzied, and secretive" streets of 1845 New York are wholly reborn, down to their "flash" patois.
Smart, gritty and funny, with a uniformly memorable cast of characters, Gods is simply spellbinding.
No. 3: The Beautiful Mystery, by Louise Penny (Minotaur, 384 pages, $28): The heavenly balm of Gregorian chant versus the quite earthly murder of a remote Quebec monastery's choirmaster — that's the thematic crux of Louise Penny's eighth literary policier starring Sûreté Chief Inspector Armand Gamache.
It's fair to say the motive is in the music, providing a novel vehicle for Penny to again explore familiar themes of alienation, personal tragedy and dissolution, loyalty, jealousy and love in all its varied and sometimes deadly dimensions.
No. 2: Standing in Another Man's Grave, by Ian Rankin (Orion, 352 pages, $35): Rejoice, all ye faithful fans of iconic Edinburgh copper John Rebus: The return of the taciturn, whisky-loving, boss-baiting Tartan Noir curmudgeon has been worth the five-year wait.
Now a retired civilian working in a soon-to-be disbanded cold-case unit, Rebus reluctantly hears the pleas of a woman who won't give up on finding her daughter, missing for a dozen years. But when that leads to the discovery of a mass grave near a remote Highlands village, it's all classic Rebus.
No. 1 (tie): Phantom and The Bat, by Jo Nesbø (both Random House Canada, $25): The seventh and eighth of the crafty Norwegian author's Harry Hole series to be released in English (only 1998's The Cockroaches has yet to reach our shores), these two not only share top honours for 2012 but offer a fascinating glimpse into the development of (arguably) the world's best crimewriter.
Conceived by Nesbø, then a stockbroker and sometime-rocker, back in 1997, The Bat finds the Oslo copper's famously self-destructive demons just starting to emerge. Assigned to "observe" the Aussie investigation of a murdered Norwegian in Sydney, Harry is soon knee-deep in rampant angst and red-herrings.
Jump forward 15 years to Phantom, and our aging anti-hero, now an ex-cop, is grappling with corrupt cops and a shady drug lord to clear the son of an estranged lover on a murder charge. Battered by two horrific, near-fatal cases (2010's The Snowman and last year's The Leopard) and racked by fever from the work of an assassin's blade, Harry stumbles through the mean streets of Oslo on a nightmarish odyssey full of multifarious plot twists and intimate dissections of friend and foe alike.
In Phantom, Nesbø takes the ultimate risk with his creation. It's a bet that pays off.

Project Blowed swirls with so many influences and inspirations that honing in on a concise definition is almost impossible. Even if you live in L.A. it might be a challenge to grasp the amount of artists and individuals associated with one another in the crew at whole – one thing that will certainly remain in the record books is how each artist strives to painful efforts to display uniqueness. Marred betwixt Angelino Gangsta confronting Parliament – Project Blowed exist within and without their own reality. In in a Blowed associated project could the ghostly, ("dirty as a sewer") wisps of AWOL One be attached to the back-slap twang from Tray-Loc of C.V.E. ("She Dances Wicked"), or could a Devin The Dude loop mesh so right with the cautionary speeches of Riddlore ("Diggin' Through My Records").
If you're new to the Blowed collection, this album will be a suitable introduction to their more contemporary leanings. A onetime slow-rolling Jazz-infused smoking-channel, this new release milleniumizes the whole affair trading the vintage Fat Jack production (leant for only 2 cuts) for the electrified clap of Afterlife brethren Riddlore (C.V.E.). Hard songs, aligned for the club, that in a different world would be loved in the clubs, but may be overlooked by an audience that embrace it. Yet all along, lyrical inflections and excellent deliveries arise – and set the 18 song
collection on an obviously higher plane of consciousness.
Driven by figure-piece Aceyalone, shot from his new home at the Decon (Love & Hate, One Big Trip), The Good Brothers is a solid representation of Project Blowed, a nice slice of Los Angeles and a definite proper platform for some prominent talents of the camp that have yet to share the fortune of popularity that Acey and some others in within the compilation have enjoyed.
As a stand-out, Jah Orah whips the plucky "Community" into excitement with the dancehall chat to complement Ace and Ridd. The latter two man the decks rather permanently throughout as Riddlore controls more than half the album's production with Eddie Hayes leaving a vocal stamp on all but 5 songs. Project Blowed outsiders are welcome with a Good Brother greeting as the likes of Ahmad and Pep Love enter the raucous for the lead single "Give It Here" (check for the video) and Rakaa-Iriscience impressively shutters in for the RJD2 horn/guitar slashed "Rock With Us".
A true highlight is Riddlore. Pittering and pattering on the basic "When You See Me" (self-produced), Ridd's hold company in a slew of emcee's (a la The Rifleman Ellay Khule and the rest of C.V.E. and Hip Hop Kclan) more the willing to let style run wild in rhyme pattern and cadence. Illustrating how its not necessarily what you say, but how you say it ("My style is simple, my life is too"). Which has been an unheard motto throughout, keeping each affiliated release (from the higher profile, like this, to the homemade, like so many equally interesting albums). The Good Brothers accept all in their circle, so thankfully they've chosen some incredibly good rappers to signify their credo.

Trading Standards on the hunt for dangerous dolls in Walsall
Trading standards officers will be at Bescot Market in Walsall today hunting for dolls on sale, which contain chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects and infertility in men.
Officers first received complaints about these products early in 2013 and visited traders to ensure they were taken off sale. But they now fear that they were available to buy at the market last weekend.
The dolls have distinctive fruit shaped heads but Trading Standards Officers are also concerned about similar soft dolls wearing animal outfits or in a "crawling" pose wearing polka dot dresses.
Council calls for action over potentially dangerous dolls
Walsall Council are calling for action to be taken over the potentially dangerous 'fruit headed' dolls which have been on sale in the Midlands.
A cabinet member said the council would be writing to to the EU and to the Chinese Government.
As we have said, we don't want to spoil any child's happiness which is why their safety is paramount to us.
Young children tend to bite and chew and if they do so with these dolls their health could be put at risk.
We have acted on reports that the 'fruit headed' dolls are potentially dangerous and have followed up reports that they are on sale to ensure they have been taken off sale.
We would now like to go a step further and will be writing to the EU and to the Chinese Government to express our wish for action to be taken to ensure this product is not put on sale again.

Potentially poisonous dolls pose cancer risk - full report
There's a warning tonight that children in the Midlands may have been given Christmas presents that contain a dangerous chemical.
It's been used to make a variety of dolls in China, and is said to be linked to cancer and birth defects if swallowed. ITV News Central correspondent Keith Wilkinson reports.
Poisonous dolls: similar style toys on sale online
ITV News Central has seen some similar dolls to those being recalled by Trading Standards being sold online.
eBay says it follows local government legislation and does not permit the sale of ' illegal items.'
Yesterday it appeared similar looking dolls were being offered for sale through Amazon.
But Amazon say they are not available through them.
A web page we saw on the morning of December 30 has since been taken down.
Doctor says children should not play with suspect dolls
Dr Ian Campbell, a GP in Nottingham, says that parents should take toys off children if they fear they could be the ones containing potentially poisonous plastics.
Trading Standards are warning about health risks about certain types of toy which have reportedly been on sale all over the country.
Doctor: Poisonous chemical in dolls is 'unacceptable'
A GP from Nottingham has said it is "unacceptable" that a poisonous chemical has been found in toy dolls on sale in shops in the Midlands.
Dr Ian Campbell said: "I'm very concerned because there is no safe level of this chemical and we know that it causes problems with cancer, problems with sperm count with adult males and problems with the liver and kidneys.
"It's is unacceptable that children have been exposed to this chemical in this way."

Warnings to avoid fake spirits over New Year
Trading standards officers in the West Midlands are warning people to avoid bottles of fake spirits over the New Year. Tests on some bottles have found ingredients also found in anti-freeze.
Drinkers are being asked to avoid bottles with spelling mistakes, wonky labels or unfamiliar brands. The spirits could blind or kill people who drink them.
Cllr Mehboob Khan, Chair of the LGA's Safer and Stronger Communities Board, said: "Everyone wants a bargain at this time of year, but by consuming fake alcohol people may be taking their life into their hands."

Concerns over 'potentially lethal' poisonous dolls
The following article was first published on our website more than 11 months ago and is being widely shared at the moment.
If you think you have bought one of these dolls, or seen them on sale, contact our newsdesk firstname.lastname@example.com with a contact name and number and say where you you bought it or saw them on sale.
Dolls containing a poisonous chemical which can cause cancer, deformities in unborn babies and infertility in men have been found on sale in shops in the West Midlands.
Sandwell Trading Standards has received six complaints about the dolls which are imported from China. One complaint was from a mother who said her child became ill after playing with one of the dolls.
There are several designs of dolls affected, such as crawling dolls with a polka dot dress, baby dolls with a picture of an animals head on the dress and 'fruit-head' dolls, all are subject to a Europe-wide product recall.
The potentially lethal chemical contained in the dolls is phthalates, a chemical used to soften plastics.
Most of the dolls do not have a CE marking, used to prove the toy meets European safety regulations.
Councillor Ian Jones said the dolls were "potentially lethal for children" and urges anyone who has purchased a doll to return them immediately for a refund.

Williamston felon sentenced for possessing a firearm
Published On: Jan 14 2014 04:45:12 PM CST
A federal judge in Raleigh has sentenced a 21-year-old Williamston man to almost five years in prison.
U. S. District Court Judge James C. Dever III sentenced Terrance Dishon Daniels to 57 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release for possessing a firearm after having been convicted of a felony.
Williamston police arrested Daniels on December 18, 2012, saying he fired several shots from a .38 caliber revolver, while sitting in a car parked on Middle Street in Williamston.
Daniels was prohibited from possessing a firearm by virtue of a prior felonious assault conviction.

Jon "maddog" Hall will be leaving Compaq on June 18 to join the team at VA Linux Systems. He struck the deal with Larry Augustin of VA Linux Systems during Spring Comdex. I talked to him on June 8 while at the USENIX Conference in Monterey, CA. Jon is actually a member of the USENIX board. The big question I asked was why he is leaving Compaq. He gave me several answers. The bottom line is because VA is a Linux company. If VA gives him a computer for his home, that computer will be running Linux, so it will be able to talk to the firewall and everything and his documents won't be in Microsoft Word format.
Jon has worked for Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for 16 years; DEC was bought by Compaq last year. At DEC, he worked as an engineer, a marketing manager, a product manager and a Linux evangelist. He went to DEC to help them create the best UNIX system available, and he feels they have done that. Other people agree. He also introduced DEC to Linux, and they are now selling Linux systems.
Compaq has been selling servers without licenses for years, and today many of those are Linux systems. One problem with Compaq/DEC was a type of culture clash: whereas DEC sold thousands of systems, Compaq sold millions. Thus, the sales techniques were different all the way down to what could be given away at a trade show. Also, his local boss has to approve him traveling to Texas to talk to management; in other words, it's a big company with many employees and all the red tape that goes with being big. Jon will find a much more relaxed easier to deal with.
Working for VA will give Jon the opportunity to do the two things he wants to do on a full-time basis: evangelize Linux and put more time and effort into making Linux International a bigger and better organization. That is, he wants to create a real board of directors for Linux International, get the charter finished and get every company possible involved in it. One way for Linux International to do that is by initiating projects to which both big and small companies can contribute. Basically, get everyone involved in fun things, e.g., workshops. In other words, grow Linux International and give it a higher degree of visibility.
Larry has basically agreed that Jon's job will be evangelizing Linux and fixing Linux International. For the moment, at least, Jon will continue to live in New Hampshire; VA is based in Silicon Valley.
—Phil Hughes
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

A key senator has cautioned that part of a White House plan to strengthen cybersecurity at commercial networks by disclosing audits of security practices could expose vulnerable targets in major parts of the U.S. infrastructure such as power grids, Aliya Sternstein writes in Nextgov.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), the ranking member of Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said at a hearing May 23 that security plans would be publicly accessible under the White House plan, and added, "We don't want to give those that would do us harm a road map on to how to attack our critical infrastructure," Nextgov reports.
She was reacting to the White House's 52 pages of legislative text that detail the Obama administration's position on issues that have hung up cybersecurity measures, the article states.
Committee Chairman Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Collins have introduced cybersecurity legislation reflects some of the Obama's administration's plans, Nextgov notes.

Archie Mackie became product director of enterprise computing at the Army PEO EIS in June. In a Nov. 7 interview with FCW, he explained why the Army is cautious but hopeful in its adoption of the cloud.
While security by obscurity is obviously trash, the less the enemy knows about what you're doing, the better. Sure, the audit may detail what's going on at the very perimeter of the network, which is stuff the bad guys will know or easily figure out anyways, but it will also include details on things they don't and shouldn't know about the internal operations. Remember, security is all about the balance between how hard it is to break in/how valuable the system is. If you do half the work for them, you make an effective attack that much more likely.
You NEVER EVER reveal the results of audits or vulnerabilities to anyone except those who have a need to know, and those charged with fixing the vulnerabilities. For this guy in the White House to even suggest that this is a prudent step to take further underscores how little he knows about cyber security, cyber warfare, or the protection of data. He is in fact the single point of failure and will remain so as long as he is in office. He has an agenda, and it would be really nice to know what it is. It most certainly is not to support and defend the Constitution of the United States (and its people) against all enemies both foreign and domestic.
The US has been giving way too much info about many things lately. This trend started about 30 years ago. The facility that I worked in then had a very sensitive part of one building that was key to our defense. So, they put up big armor plates on the outside of that part of the building. We were all saying that they should have just painted a big bullseye on it instead. Today, you would find a detailed map on Wikileaks or Facebook!!
It's bad enough consolidating everything and creating a central point of failure for any merged system. Then you go and enumerate all the details?
Magic wands don't exist to fix security problems. It takes time and money to fix problems and limited resources and risk management determine what to fix first.

Touhenboku, the ramen upstart that plunked itself down on Queen West last year, only to expand almost immediately with a second restaurant at Yonge and Eglinton, is getting ready to open location number three. The news comes from Spotlight City's Suresh Doss, who tweeted about it earlier today (it was later confirmed via Twitter by the Touhenboku crew). Shrewdly avoiding the city's noodle-clogged core, the chain's third outlet will be housed in the Distillery District, which—like the dorky kid who comes back from summer break with a whole new swagger—has pretty much completed its transition from cheesy tourist trap to legitimately great hangout. According to Doss, the new spot is likely to open pretty soon—possibly before the Distillery's Christmas market pops up in a month and a half's time.

TIFF 2014 cheers and jeers: the best and worst of this year's festival
Because everything related to film culture, even tangentially, can and should be evaluated using a Siskel-and-Ebertian binary system, here are our thumbs up and thumbs down for TIFF 2014.
Bill Murray. Because he made a confusing joke about bankrolling Ivan Reitman's restaurant, Montecito. Because he showed up to Bill Murray Day in full pageant regalia. Because he's Bill Murray.
Midnight Madness. This year's batch of late-night screenings—including Canadian 70s exploitation send-up The Editor, '80s and '90s action throwbacks The Guest and Big Game, the incredible It Follows (which manages to make the premise of a sexually transmitted demonic possession not stupid) and People's Choice winner What We Do In The Shadows—all wowed crowds and critics alike. Some people even liked the new Kevin Smith movie, somehow. Read the rest of this entry »

Toronto chocolatier Laura Slack opens shop in the Distillery District
Toronto chocolatier Laura Slack is known for her beautiful but unconventional creations (her most famous treat is a burnished chocolate skull filled with black garlic–infused caramel). After hawking her goods at fancy shops like McEwan's and Holt Renfrew, Slack has opened Maisonette, a very charming retail store in the Distillery District. She manages to squeeze a lot of delicious stuff into the 220-square-foot space, including handmade jams from Parkdale confiturer Kitten and the Bear and loose-leaf teas from Canadian company Sloane. The highlight, though, comes in chocolate form: gleaming truffles, artfully wrapped chocolate bars and cellophane baggies stuffed with chocolate-dipped "bacon toffee." For summertime, there are chocolate ice-cream bars and fruity ice pops, neither of which should be missed.

John Fluevog Shoes opens a new store in the Distillery District
Vancouver-based John Fluevog Shoes opened a second Toronto location in the Distillery District on Saturday, giving another boost to the area's appeal as an upmarket shopping destination. (Since December, Gotstyle and eco-friendly children's clothier Mini Mioche have each opened newer, bigger locations in the district.) Fluevog, who has earned global success with his colourful, distinctive designs, celebrated the new store by releasing two limited-edition designs, one for men and one for women, available only at the Distillery location. If you want to snag a pair, you had better hurry—there are only a few left.

Mill St. Brewery is opening a new Distillery District pub called The Beer Hall
Mill St. Brewery is launching a new venue in the Distillery District this April which is dubbed The Beer Hall. The bar and restaurant will serve a rotating selection of Mill St. beers, as well as bierschnaps, a traditional Bavarian liquor that will be distilled on-site from beer piped over from the brewpub next door. Former Frank sous-chef (and Top Chef Canada contestant) Elizabeth Rivasplata has been pegged as executive chef, and her menu, still in development, will be designed primarily for sharing—and, of course, pairing with Mill St.'s beers.

Introducing: Gotstyle's new Distillery District store, with clothes for men and women
Although Gotstyle's new two-storey store in the Distillery District is still a work-in-progress, the stunning space—originally a stable building—already has the elements of a retail destination. Currently in soft launch mode, Gotstyle Distillery breaks from the menswear-only catalogue of the Bathurst and Wellington location with a range of fashion-forward women's brands like Cuchara, Sashin and Babi and Rebecca Minkoff. The prices reflect the diversity of the wares, with some button-ups just clearing $100 and outerwear breaking the $1,000 mark.

Future of Nursing Initiative
MONDAY, Jan. 9 (HealthDay News) -- Children and adolescents with schizophrenia have significantly greater brain gray matter (GM) volume loss and increased frontal lobe cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume compared with adolescents without a diagnosis of psychosis, according to a study published in the January issue of the Archives of General Psychiatry.
Celso Arango, M.D., Ph.D., of the Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón in Madrid, Spain, and colleagues conducted a prospective, multicenter study to evaluate the progression of brain changes in first-episode, early-onset psychosis in 110 patients with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or other psychoses, and 98 matched controls. Magnetic resonance imaging techniques were used to evaluate the brain GM volume and CSF volume in the total brain and the frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes of adolescent patients. The association of brain changes with diagnosis and prognosis at two years was evaluated.
The researchers found that, during the two-year follow-up, frontal lobe GM volume was significantly reduced, and left frontal lobe CSF volume was significantly increased in those with schizophrenia, compared with matched controls. Patients with schizophrenia also had significantly different total GM volume and left parietal GM volume compared with controls. There were no significant differences seen in adolescents with bipolar disease. An increase in the number of weeks of hospitalization was associated with a greater left frontal GM volume loss, and negative symptom severity was associated with CSF increase in patients with schizophrenia.
"One or more active pathophysiologic processes seem to be occurring in the brains of children and adolescents after a first psychotic episode, especially in those with schizophrenia," the authors write.
Several authors disclosed financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry.
