Weekend Box Office Report: 'Ride Along' Drives Away With the Weekend
In the first truly busy weekend for new releases in 2014, Ice Cube and Kevin Hart took the competition, bent them over the knee and gave them a good spanking. Okay, you probably didn't want the image of those two spanking animated squirrels, demonic babies or Chris Pine in your head, but how else are we going to talk about the opening weekend for 'Ride Along'?
'Gilligan's Island' Star Russell Johnson Dead at 89
2014 Razzie Nominations: 'Grown Ups 2,' 'After Earth' and 'Movie 43′ Lead the Pack
The "Golden Raspberry" Razzie awards set out to do the opposite work of the Academy Awards and "honor" the year's worst films, and every year, they have plenty of material to work with. While 2013 may have been one of the best years for movies in recent memory, it was also home to enough deplorable junk to make this a fairly interesting (if not at all surprising) year for Razzies.
New Study Reveals Americans Aren't Going to the Movies; Blame 3D and Rude Moviegoers
Every year presents a new apocalypse for the film industry and every year sees movies and theaters evolving to match the increasingly strange age that we live in. However, Hollywood's evolution may not be happening fast enough to win back certain audiences. A new Harris Poll asked Americans about their moviegoing habits and the results are a fascinating combination of the surprising and the not-so-surprising.
Two Shot in Florida Movie Theater After Dispute Over Texting During 'Lone Survivor'
We think that talking or texting during a movie is the epitome of rudeness and shouldn't be tolerated in any way. While we fully support hushing and zero-tolerance policies that eject talkers from theaters, we draw the line at physical violence and we imagine that even the most ardent movie fans would agree.
Well, it turns out that one man thought even more strongly about this than we did and took it to a tragic level.
First Look at Evan Peters' Quicksilver in 'X-Men: Days of Future Past'
Although the biggest hook for 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' is how the film will combine both the original X-Men team and the cast of 'X-Men: First Class,' it will have no shortage of new mutant heroes and villains. The most intriguing of them (for reasons beyond the movie's story itself) is Quicksilver, the Marvel Universe's answer to the Flash. A new still from the film gives us our first look at actor Evan Peters in the role.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones' Gets 'Frozen' and Other Exciting Puns
Over the past few years, the 'Paranormal Activity' series has established itself as one of the most inexpensive and reliable horror franchises around. Produced for (non-literal) pennies, they've consistently opened strong at the box office, ensuring a fast and efficient turnaround. The latest film, 'Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones,' has already accomplished that goal, but it did so without grabbing the number one spot. Sure, people may love found footage demons, but it turns out that they love animated singing princesses more.
Lucasfilm and Marvel Team Up For New 'Star Wars' Comics
In 1977, Marvel Comics published the very first 'Star Wars' comic book. Now, nearly 40 years later, George Lucas' beloved universe is coming home. In an act of unsurprising corporate synergy, Lucasfilm has announced that, beginning in 2015, Marvel will exclusively publish new 'Star Wars' comic books for the fans hoping to experience the saga outside of the main films.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Wolf of Wall Street,' 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' and More Battle It Out
Although you'd think people would spend the holidays in their homes catching up with their families and what-not, they actually tend to go to the movies after opening gifts and having awkward conversations. And Christmas Day moviegoers had a bunch of options this week, with recent releases (and not-so-recent releases) still going strong and a whole bunch of new releases arriving to coincide with the holiday.
New 'The Monuments Men' Trailer: Support the War Effort!
'The Monuments Men' was one of our most anticipated movies of 2013, so when it got bumped to next year, it immediately became one of our most anticipated movies of 2014. Although the schedule change has moved it out of potential awards contention, the marketing train has kept on rolling and the latest trailer takes a slightly more unique approach than the others, stylizing itself as a period-appropriate newsreel.

Best coffee in Providence?
Any recommendations for a couple of coffee snobs headed to Providence the weekend after next? I figure with the heavy Italian influence there, we should find lots of good cappucino joints without having to resort to Starbucks? But then, it seems you never can tell.
I define GOOD as deep flavor, thick body, beans roasted dark but not burnt; extra credit to the joint with velvety thick microfoam. No need for fancy apple and fern designs in the foam, although those places also do seem to take care with the brew.
Any other "must-try" places to eat suggestions welcomed as well!
re: Avid Rita
if it's doesn't have to be all about the coffee...you could go to pastiche and have an incredible piece of cake or cookies with that coffee.
FYI - Westminster is quite long, and you'd have to walk the bridge over Route 95 from the hotel to White Electric (and iffy neighborhood that I wouldn't walk alone at night), from downtown to the West End. Just something to keep in mind.
3 recs:
1) Cafe Dolce Vita - table service Italian cafe on Federal Hill, mostly desserts and coffee. They certainly at least profess to take their espresso seriously, eg their menu stipulates that the double espresso uses twice the amount of coffee, but the same amount of water. Open late, full bar, fun gelato desserts. The cakes and tarts are better around the corner at Pastiche, but Dolce Vita won't rush you, and the coffee is much more of a focus.
2) I wish I could remember the name, but my favorite espresso in town is served in the back of one of the older Italian grocery stores on Federal Hill (towards the end of the Atwells Italian strip, NOT Constantinos or Venda, south/even-numbered side of street). Good, basic Italian pastries, espresso, and cappucino. I seem to recall that the coffee is just Lavazza or one of the other large Italian brands, but this place knows how to pull it. NB it's a grocery store, so it's only open during the day.
3) For a more American coffee house setting, I'd personally recommend Coffee Exchange on Wickenden over White Electric (which is also American-, not Italian-style). They roast all their own beans, and do a number of different blends quite well. I've only gotten their espresso a few times, which is fine, but I'll go out of my way for their distinctive drip coffee.
re: finlero
Wanted to revive this post from last year because I finally got the name of the Federal Hill grocery store I mentioned above: Roma.
Roma continues to pull a terrific espresso in their cafe located at the back of the store. I visited over last weekend, and it was as good as ever. They're also still quite inexpensive: two double espressos and three excellent Italian pastries came to just over 10 bucks.
Bonus points for the vibrant local color. My inability to speak fluent Italian left me squarely in the minority.
re: finlero
Had espresso at Cafe Dolce Vita about 6 weeks ago and was disappointed -- it was really bitter and not pleasantly strong. if there was any original aroma in the coffee they use it was lost in the process. to me a good espresso shouldn't require any sugar to bring pleasure to the palate. my Cafe D.V. espresso experience was one not to repeat.
re: madgee
Yeah, I must confess that I went back recently and wasn't impressed either. I wasn't sure if it was an off day, a more prolonged slump, or just my tastes getting fussier; based on your post, I'm guessing it wasn't option 1.
Madgee, is there anywhere in the area you particularly do like?
re: finlero
sadly i can't name one place in Providence where i enjoy drinking their coffee, other than at my own home! :-)
a friend of mine just told me this afternoon that she had a *good* cup of coffee this morning at the 3 Sisters place on Hope. i was surprised but i might give them a try one of these days.
one place that serves perfect espresso is Andrew's Bistro but that's in Cumberland and this thread is focused on the capital...
re: madgee
i'm surprised the coffee is good at 3 sisters because the ice cream is absolutely awful. don't waste your calories on it!
re: tomatosoup
This surprises me about the ice cream (off topic) since I understand they use the Maximillian recipes, and Maximillian was great.
- Garris
Providence, RI
re: Garris
i was surprised too- but they somehow managed to ruin max's recipes. i really enjoyed maximillian's! but three sisters is icy and flavorless. i head to daily scoop in barrington to satisfy my ice cream cravings now!
wow, you've made me nostalgic! i haven't lived in providence for years, so i apologize upfront that my assessment is dated.
1. i love white electric. it's a great place to linger, there's great music, there's a scruffy hipster aesthetic without being painfully hip, and the coffee's great.
2. ocean coffee roasters has great beans, which i prefer over coffee exchange. their food is also pretty decent, though i found that the (painfully hip) staff would consistently space out and burn my bagel or cheesy meaty bready things.
3. daily bread has amazing portuguese sweet bread and good foccacia breads. they have coffee, but go there for the snacks. there was one just up the street a bit from white electric back in the day.
4. cav. food so-so. service apathetic. coffee decent. lovely antique store space.
5. oh! and there was this tiny little place in a home or cottage or something, with excellent well executed salads and sandwiches. it was a bit pricey for what it was, but consistently excellent. my recollection of the location is that you go south on wickenden street, past the shops, the highway entrance, and a gas station, then it's on the right hand side. does this place still exist? and is it still good? and what on earth is its name?
re: rose water
#5 is Olga's Cup & Saucer. Not being a coffee drinker, I can't comment on their coffee. But their pastries, food, and bread are delicious. On a nice day, their patio is a nice place to linger.
White Electric is great, but their seats are really uncomfortable.
Ocean Coffee Roasters has become something else - forget the name - but they still do serve coffee, muffins, etc. Though at night they become a Thai (?) restaurant.
Daily Bread on Broadway is gone, and the one in Wayland has become a new coffee shop - I believe it's call The Edge. My hubby had positive things to say about the coffee.
re: rose water
An update on one of your selections...Ocean Coffee Roasters on Waterman & Thayer is by no means any longer "Painfully hip". It changed ownership and is now just painful. Not at ALL what it used to be five years or so ago.
re: Amygirl
Finally made it to The Edge in Wayland Sq. recently and had the best cafe au lait evah. there. Also really like Coffee Exchange. More Serious Coffee People than I am like Seven Stars-----the friend I went to The Edge with used to live here and was back in town visiting. We only went to The Edge because Seven Stars was closed (late afternoon)----she is very much a coffee-head and liked Seven Stars the most.
re: Moonpie1
Did you have any baked goods at The Edge? I went for coffee and a muffin a couple months ago and the muffin was as terrible as the coffee was delicious! Just wondering if they've brought the pastry case. I liked The Edge also because it looks really cozy and welcoming for just sitting and reading for a while.
Also, as a more general response to this thread, the coffee beans used at Olga's, Seven Stars, and White Electric (and maybe other coffee places, I don't know) are from the same company: New Harvest. I believe they are based in Warwick, RI and it's all fair trade, organic beans. I think that Olga's and White Electric sell the beans to take home, and New Harvest had their own stand at all the farmer's markets last year.
re: ginqueen
Seven Stars sells the beans too. It's our House Bean, although I can never make a mocha as good as theirs...
re: ginqueen
New Harvest just moved and is now based in Pawtucket. They roast some really spectacular coffee, one of RI's great treasures. For dark roast people, I strongly recommend Cafe Marika.
re: celeriac
Is there a cafe at the Pawtucket location, or is it just retail?
re: finlero
Neither of the above. New Harvest roasts and sells wholesale and via mail order only. Their coffee is served in many places around town though--White Electric, Seven Stars, Olga's and many more.
If you are looking for a Pawtucket Cafe, a new one called Kafe Lila just opened up in the Grant, the mixed use redevelopment on Main St in downtown Pawtucket. Haven't tried their coffee yet, but they also have cool homemade ice creams, ices and such.
re: ginqueen
I did not have any baked goods at The Edge. I liked the atmosphere too, though. Looking forward to sneaking in there w/a book one of these days. One person I was with had a brownie----when we sat down, I said, "didn't you order a brownie?" and she said yes, but she had eaten it while still in line and it was very good. Other person I was with had their granola in a bag----she poured it into a dish and I tried some---very good.
I love New Harvest for making at home. It's a favorite----I buy it at Whole Foods.
re: Moonpie1
I forgot about this post---I have been back to The Edge a lot since the spring and take back my qualms about their baked goods (when they first opened, I swear they were really not so good). I have devoured pretty much everything pastry-related that I've ordered there---an impossibly light, fluffy blueberry scone, brownies, cupcakes, muffins....all have been delicious and fresh. And the coffee continues to be great, as well as the bright, relaxed atmosphere. Really a nice place to sit and read with a giant cup.
re: ginqueen
Yeah, the Edge has become the real deal. Great pastries, great breakfast, great vibe. I just wish their hours would match Starbucks...
- Garris
re: Garris
The Edge has been varying their hours in the for summer and the rest of the year. During the year, save holidays, they're open until 8.
During the summer I think it's six.
re: Moonpie1
I second The Edge - I especially love their espresso. I'm usually a cafe au lait lover but sometimes I just need to order an Americano there to savor the flavor.
I've also had some great cappuccinos at Roba Dolce - very strong and small.
I wrote up some of my favorite cafes on my blog here:
(This definitely needs a part 2)
re: a l i c e
I regularly go to the Edge. Friendly staff, laid back atmosphere, free wifi. They have great Cowboy/Cowgirl cookies. I've shipped them to a friend out of state who's hooked. I like the muffins and I'm pretty picky. They're getting really well known for their cupcakes. They have a cupcake happy hour every day.
I also really like their sandwiches -- they've got great wraps. Nice soup and chicken caesar salad too.
I used to go to Brooklyn Coffee House when I worked up that way. Went in there a couple of times before work. I'm a professional. The owner and one of his cronies where hanging out. They were so incredibly rude to me that I've never gone back and I've told my friends. I'm pretty thick-skinned (worked in retail for over 10 years). I was pretty stunned. Places like that don't get my return business, no matter how good they are.
re: gracem
their coffee is nice and strong, but often tastes very burnt to me.
re: celeriac
I'm definitely a CE fan, however I prefer their darker roast to the house Narragansett blend. Not sure why, but the dark roast strangely tests more balanced and less burnt than the house.
re: finlero
OK here's a vote for Coffee Exchange. Get a free cup when you buy a pound. Since the demise of Ocean Coffee that is my favorite source for beans. If I can not get over there, New Harvest is good too.
How has no one mentioned Tazza? The coffee is fantastic - and they use a "cold water extraction method" to brew the iced coffee (which was recently featured in the New York Times). Instead of New Harvest they get there coffee from a place in CT called Barinet. Seriously, if your downtown - its a perfect place to get some joe.
re: HungryHipster
I guess I personally never think of Tazza, even though their coffee is wicked good, because every time I've gone to eat there the service has been so godawful (which seems like a common theme among pretty much everyone who goes there). Not that it's been rude, but just horribly, molasses-drippingly slow when it REALLY didn't need to be (which I guess is rude in and of itself, really). It's too bad, because it's such a nice atmosphere and I've liked the food and drink there pretty well, but I rarely think of it as a place to go.
Well, this is a couple of minutes from Providence, but I just had a great cappuccino at Kafe Lila in Pawtucket this morning - I had been wanting to go there and it was a fun morning trip. I wrote a bit about it here: http://stephaniedoes.com/2007/kafe-lila/
Coffee Exchange, been going 12 years now ... remember when they used to have French Roast in addition to Narragansett as an everyday coffee? And in addition to the still offered "dark Roast of the Day", they also had a "light Roast of the Day"? That was awesome; now there are times when I just order an espresso machiatto as some of their dark roasts of the day aren't to my liking (and Narragansett blend never has been), but it is commendable for the variety of tastes they offer. The espresso at CE is not as good as it should be. Not helped by the fact they only sell them in plastic cups. Proper espresso needs proper cup.
New Harvest is really good, too. Glad to hear places making their brew.
On the espresso front, the best I've had in Providence is Roma Gourmet on Atwells, followed closely by Pastiche. I know I've had a very good one in a Providence restaurant, but can't recall which one, as finding a good espresso in a restaurant has eluded me.
If anyone has had an espresso of the quality of Roma at a restaurant, let me know!!
Simultaneously with moving back to Providence I've become a rabid coffee drinker--- I live on the West side and have relatives on the East, so I hit Seven Stars alot; lately it seems like the quality is going down, especially in terms of coffee, and the price is starting to look like even more of a jack as a result. So after starting out at White Electric, I've been going back lately and their ice coffee is tasting good to me (the cash only thing drives me crazy though, I never remember to bring it) and actually the White Electric salad there is pretty great and a good deal. Nick's has the greatest brunch-diner-ey coffee, I can pound both that and Julian's if I'm there in the morning. I love Roma's but have never had their coffee/espresso, sounds good. A hidden gem: ice coffee and Palmieri's-- cheaper than WE and SS I think, and actually I think better than both, at least lately. Old-world instead of hipster is a plus too! ;)

On Tuesday, Shady Records rapper Ca$his will release the second volume in his Loose Cannon mixtape series. Following his March 4, DJ Arkane-mixed Loose Cannon (Vol. 1), the Boogish Boy's new mixtape will feature all brand new material, including the C Major produced, Got That Product. In real life Ca$his has a major label record deal, though in the song he states his need for an income by any means necessary, reeling off an endless supply of narcotics (prescription and otherwise) he sells on the daily. Hopefully, if the Chicago-born MC is able to drop is debut double-album, Loose Cannon, as scheduled on July 25, his lyrics will remain the only place he needs to slang crack.

Cassandra Ruffled Bedspread Cassandra Shams Cassandra Bedskirt Cassandra Euro Pillow Cassandra 18'' Square Decorative Pillow Cassandra 6 x 18'' Neckroll Pillow
Cassandra Ruffled Bedspread 7 7
Beautiful Design This bedspread had a beautiful design and was true to size (I bought the queen). I do wish it was a little thicker overall, but the satiny texture is an added bonus that I was not expecting. I would definitely recommend this as a summer-weight spread or as a part of a layered-look as I went for! October 24, 2014
I'm happy with this bedspread. I was looking for a real bedspread: long enough to go to the floor on three sides with plenty of room to tuck pillows under at the top. I also needed something that didn't weigh a ton, especially when wet. This bedspread fills the bill. I like the color, the quilting and the ruffle around the hem. August 7, 2014
Quality was not as good as featured,priced high. First time ordering with your company. Product did not have the quality for the price. Looked much nicer in catalog. April 5, 2014
Oversized The quality of this product was disappointing. The twin size I ordered fit like an extremely large bedspread which puddled on the floor. Did not fit the description at all. March 28, 2014
Beautiful color if you love RED! Purchased to use as a coverlet. Ordered a twin for a queen bed. Only complaint is I wish it was "quilt" weight. It is priced a little "high" but the red color is BEAUTIFUL! The ruffle adds a little femininity and I also purchased the pillow shams. My queen bed is black and has wide bed rails along the side and a footboard. The queen size spread comes even with the rails and looks like a coverlet. Perfect! March 8, 2014
gorgeous BUT The picture gives the impression that the "bedspread" is short enough for the bedskirt. NOT TRUE! The "bedspread" is exactly that. It hangs beautifully to the floor not as shown. I am returning the queen size I bought and exchanging it for a twin in hopes it will match the picture. I love the fabric and the small diamond pattern quilting in the bedspread, and the color is also just as I had wanted in an ivory. Just make sure you understand this is a bedspread and not a coverlet. I wanted to imitate the picture shown. I am still waiting for the bedskirt. and now add to the delay a smaller bedspread. October 14, 2013
Not as pictured I ordered this and waited for it while it was on backorder. This quilt/bedspread is very, very thin, and feels like polyester. There must be a fluffy quilt under it and a blanket within the folds in the picture. I washed it in hopes it would "puff up". It didn't. I love Linen Source items but this was really a disappointment. I may be able to use it in Summer. October 13, 2013

My family is really fond of the pizza. Excellent crust, perfect sauce, great toppings, etc. The service is friendly and warm and the ambiance is comfortable and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit!
First time at Romolos and I loved it! Awesome food and service! It's a small local establishment with a lot of history and Italian Charm.
I think their pizza must be thee thing to get. We had the spagetti with meatballs. It was alright, and the portions were HUGE! I loved the atmosphere. Not fancy, just like we were @ our little cafe back home in Iowa. We felt very comfortable here.

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson Hold Hands (Photos)
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart Show PDA in LA
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart held hands when they stepped out with a group of friends in LA Wednesday. The couple kept a low profile in sunglasses as they smiled and walked around the Los Feliz neighborhood. An eyewitness tells us the couple looked "really happy and lovey-dovey" as they stopped for sushi with the group. "Kristen grabbed his arm, and they were walking and joking. She took some pictures of the friends they were with on her phone," the source says. "They seemed really together. Really relaxed."
Rob and Kristen have been spending a lot of time together ever since Rob returned from Australia after wrapping up filming for The Rover in mid-March. The two reunited for several outings over the past couple of weeks, including a stop at a convenience store and a night out with friends at a karaoke joint.
Despite spending so much time together, Kristen walked the red carpet solo at the Kids' Choice Awards in LA on March 23, but she did get a chance to catch up with her and Rob's mutual friend Katy Perry at the award show. She'll have plenty of time to spend with friends next week when she celebrates her 23rd birthday on Tuesday, April 9.

Company says the proposed switch to RDF and TDF could decrease the use of fossil fuels by more than half.
Cement manufacturing firm Cemex, headquartered in San Pedro Garza Garcia, Mexico, has petitioned the Louisville (Kentucky) Metro Air Pollution Control District to allow the company to add refuse-derived fuel (RDF) as an alternative fuel in its cement manufacturing process in Louisville. The company says the RDF will replace traditional fuels such as coal and petroleum coke.
RDF has already received approvals from the Louisville Metro Planning Commission and the Louisville Metro Solid Waste District. Additionally, the Kentucky Division of Waste Management permitted its use as a fuel in the summer of 2013.The draft permit is now with the Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District for review.
The company's Kosmos facility already uses tire-derived fuel (TDF) to meet up to 25 percent of the plant's energy needs. Cemex says its use of TDF at the plant has resulted in more than three million scrap tires consumed since the Kosmos facility started to use TDF in December 2010.
The company notes that the recycled raw materials it presently uses includes coal ash and synthetic gypsum (spent lime from wet scrubbers) from electrical generating plants and mill scale from the steel industry.
The Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District is accepting public comment through Dec. 30 on a proposed new air quality permit for the plant that would allow the new fuel to be burned. It would allow up to 10 tons per hour of RDF, and increase the company's TDF to 9 tons per hour. The company says the switch would result in a potential fossil fuel substitution of more than 60 percent—an estimated 30 percent for RDF and an estimated 37.5 percent for TDF.
During trial runs, Cemex says it was able to achieve an estimated 30 percent fossil fuel substitution with RDF and about 15 percent substitution with TDF for a total fossil fuel replacement of close to 50 percent.

Ready to start living the life you really want?
The holistic life coach for professionals who helps you gain Clarity on your true purpose, build Commitment for change and the Confidence to live to the fullest!
As a certified professional life coach and member of the International Coach Federation, I can help you achieve success in your personal and professional life.
I believe that you are capable of achieving whatever you put your mind to, and with my holistic approach to personal development, I will effectively help you develop the tools needed to succeed.
I have developed the 7 Step Reintegrate coaching protocol that will guide your inner journey of increased self-awareness, and the recognition of your authentic self.
The seven steps are grouped into three modules starting with bringing clarity to your current situation, your desires, and your purpose in life. We then continue with creating strong commitment to pursuing your passion. And in the third module, we focus of building confidence to create a lifestyle to support your purpose, and teach you how to engage people on your journey.
Definition: the qualities of transparency and forming a unified whole.
Antonym: ambiguity and obscurity.
My clients often come to me with feeling of frustration based on some of life's essential struggles, and it's my goal to help all of my clients discover what they truly want in life.
I often hear remarks such as:
- "I don't recognize myself anymore and want to get back to the real me."
- "I've lost direction in my life, and I feel there has to be more to life than this."
- "If only I could let go of whatever is holding me back. Deep down I know I could achieve so much more!"
- "I'm at a crossroad in life and don't know what direction I should go."
- "I'm tired of living other people's priorities. I want to rediscover my own priorities and live life to the fullest!"
Through personal development coaching and a unique holistic approach, we will use the three steps of the Reintegration Coaching Protocol to help you find clarity, and help you identify your true purpose.
If you are struggling with finding your true direction or motivation in your personal or professional life, my self-awareness training will help bring clarity to the clutter and help you prioritize your goals.
Definition: the state or quality of being dedicated to a cause or activity
Antonym: indecisiveness and detachment.
Once we have a clear understanding of your personal goals and your true motivation, we will focus on how we can work together to get you there.
By formulating goals and milestones we will work together to help you stay committed to your personal strategy for success.
As your personal development coach, I will help you prioritize your goals and help you steer clear of procrastination. I will also help you holistically manage your energy to stay enthusiastic and committed to your pursuit of true purpose.
In addition to self-awareness training, we explore what may derail you, and formulate strategies for how to handle the obstacles that will come your way.
Definition: a feeling of self-assurance arising from one's appreciation of one's own abilities or qualities.
Antonym: uncertainty, doubt
As your certified professional life coach I will help you create a lifestyle around your personal and professional aspirations.
After you've achieved clarity and identified your goals and committed to achieving them, it's all about creating a holistic life to support living your purpose. And through personal life coaching and self-awareness training I will help you make a living doing so.
The 7 Step Reintegrate Coaching Protocol will focus on making you a natural leader, teach you how to engage the community, and how to give back and pay it forward.

This year Zagat, the original go-to guide for restaurant reviews, released its first-ever Valentine's Day Dining Survey, which examined how we're planning to spend the holiday. More than 600 people throughout the U.S. were surveyed.
For restaurants, Valentine's Day is one of the biggest nights of the year, but according to responders only 44 percent of the people surveyed plan on dining out, with 38 percent preferring a quiet night in. (If you're planning to dine at home, check out our romantic dinner recipes.)
Those who do plan on dining at a restaurant are going to make it count with an average meal for two coming in at $147, nearly double what average diners spend on less romantic evenings. To help bolster that bill, 45 percent of those surveyed plan on dropping big bucks on a pricey bottle of wine to accompany the meal.
Even though prime Valentine's Day reservations are notoriously hard to score, only a piddling 17 percent of people had the foresight to book a month in advance. And when it comes to planning where to enjoy that special meal, food trumps ambiance with nearly half of the survey's respondents choosing a good menu over soft lighting and tuxedoed waiters.
Finally, those with old-fashioned sensibilities will be happy to know that when the check comes only 11 percent of couples opt to split the bill.

YANGON, Myanmar, Dec. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Walk Free: The Movement to End Modern Slavery launched its global campaign, Putting Slavery out of Business, from Myanmar today.
Walk Free members globally will call on the world's major corporations to work together to end modern slavery by identifying, eradicating and preventing forced labour in their operations and supply chains.
"Business has always been a key driver of social change, shaping modern life through innovation and new technology. If Corporate Giants – 25 of the world's top businesses whose net worth make up US$5 trillion – prioritise the abolition of modern slavery as their next major innovation, we could quickly deal a major blow to the slavery industry in this generation," said Nick Grono, CEO of Walk Free.
"Forced labour does not exist in isolation, it encourages related abuses such as fraudulent recruitment. It is time for Corporate Giants to collectively address their responsibility to make modern slavery a priority for their global agenda."
Walk Free is asking the world's major companies to make a Zero Tolerance for Slavery Pledge by 31 March 2013. The campaign aims to set an example for every business; giving consumers the information they need to make informed choices and ending the nightmare of modern slavery for millions around the world.
Sir Richard Branson signed Walk Free's pledge and sent a message of support to the campaign launch in Myanmar saying, "I am delighted to be able to sign this pledge on behalf of all the Virgin group of companies and I would urge other businesses to do the same."
While many think of slavery as a relic of history, experts estimate that there are currently 20.9 million people living under threat of violence, abuse and harsh penalties[1]. Within this massive number, the majority of people -- more than 14.2 million -- are in a forced labour situation, used to source raw materials, and create products in sectors such as agriculture, construction, manufacturing and domestic work.
Some companies rely on goods that are sourced from countries where business accountability and government regulation are weak, and factors such as poverty, discrimination and conflict create opportunities for exploitation. Without consistent supply-chain monitoring, suppliers are exploiting the system -- and people -- to turn a profit.
The campaign Putting Slavery out of Business was launched in Yangon at an event led by Walk Free CEO Nick Grono, U.S. Ambassador-at-Large to Combat Trafficking In Persons Luis CdeBaca, Fortescue Metals Group founder and Chairman Andrew Forrest, UNICEF specialist on trafficking and migration, Dr Susu Thatun, and Free the Slaves founder Kevin Bales.
Click here to DOWNLOAD video footage and photos of Walk Free's event and their supporters (clips of Andrew Forrest, Luis CdeBaca, Jason Mraz, Kevin Bales, Dr Susu Thatun).
Zero Tolerance for Slavery Pledge:
We pledge zero tolerance for slavery. We commit to prevent forced labour from finding its way into our products. We pledge that our operations are free of forced labour, and will carefully monitor our supply chains and subcontracting arrangements to ensure the same. We will take responsible steps to respond to any problems found.

Posts Tagged 'Penelope Fitzgerald'
The Shape of a Life
August 26, 2014 | by Nicole Rudick
Congratulations to Hermione Lee, who has won the 2014 James Tait Black Prize for her biography of the Booker Prize–winning novelist Penelope Fitzgerald. One judge described Lee's biography as "a masterclass in writing of this type … the perfect marriage of an excellent subject and a biographer working at the very top of her game."
Lee was at work on the book during her Art of Biography interview last year: in the course of their conversation, Louisa Thomas discovers a blanket-covered box that contains the Fitzgerald family archive. Though Lee denies having set out to be a "woman writer writing about women writers," she has almost exclusively chosen women authors as her subjects. Still, for a biographer of Woolf, Cather, Wharton, and Bowen, Lee found Fitzgerald to be a special case:
I don't have a theory about Penelope Fitzgerald. I'm deeply interested in the shape of her life, and I'm fascinated by lateness, late starts. She didn't start publishing novels until she was sixty, for a variety of reasons. I feel there was a powerful underground river running through her life. She was a brilliant young woman, and everybody thought she was going to be a writer and she was writing away like mad in her teens and early twenties, and she was the editor of a magazine. And then it all went underground. Meanwhile, she's writing notes in her teaching books, which are a form of apprenticeship, and she's bringing up her family, and she's coping with her husband. And then he dies. And then up it comes, this underground river, at the age of sixty, and she writes thirteen books in twenty years. I don't have a theory about that. Nor do I want to blame anyone. But I want to understand it and show it happening as best as I can.
The complexity of women's lives is, naturally, at the center of Lee's interview, and it's a thread that connects Lee to her subjects intimately. The first woman to hold the Goldsmiths' Chair and the first woman president of Wolfson College, Oxford, she recalls walking across the grass of New College and thinking of Virginia Woolf, who, in trespassing momentarily on the lawn, was chased off by a beadle. As Woolf writes in A Room of One's Own, "Instinct rather than reason came to my help, he was a Beadle; I was a woman. This was the turf; there was the path. Only the Fellows and Scholars are allowed here; the gravel is the place for me."
Lee, however, feeling the benefit of the "strenuous labors of my female predecessors," can stray from the path; she makes a point of walking across the grassy quad, because "I had the right to be there."
Many Happy Returns, Penelope Fitzgerald
December 17, 2013 | by Sadie Stein
"Everyone in Penelope Fitzgerald's family called her Mops, no one ever called her Penelope unless they met her later in life. And she didn't like the name Penelope. But it would seem very peculiar for me to call her Mops all the way through." —Hermione Lee, the Art of Biography No. 4
A Week in Culture: Sadie Stein, Editor
November 14, 2011 | by Sadie Stein
4:00 A.M. I can't sleep. Because I just moved from Brooklyn into Manhattan, my books aren't unpacked, and so my reading options are limited. The only books I have handy are on decorating—although it's usually a pretty theoretical study in my case. The pattern of the boards on the floor of this new apartment reminds me of floors I saw in Kraków when I visited there with my father, and I've decided rather grandly to do a sort of prewar Eastern European motif. (Again, this is probably theoretical. ) Wonder vaguely where one would find a tiled stove in New York.
I read a few chapters of the inimitable Dorothy Draper's Decorating Is Fun!, which is filled with gems like "It is just as disastrous to have the wrong accessories in your room as it is to wear sport shoes with an evening dress," as well as the somewhat less helpful "I don't believe anything can do as much for a room as a glowing fire in an attractive fireplace. Men and dogs love an open fire—they show good sense. It is the heart of any room and should be kindled on the slightest provocation." (That said, I'm guessing Alexa Chung or someone is wearing sports shoes with an evening dress as we speak, and probably causing a sensation. Imagine a world with rules and dicta. The mind boggles.)
5:30 A.M. Finally manage to drift off for a few hours, until a handyman unexpectedly knocks at the door at 7:45 to wash the windows. It occurs to me that this is just the sort of dubious ruse a murderer or thief might use to gain entrance to someone's apartment; let him in anyway.
9:00 A.M. I pass an angry-looking gentleman on the way to the subway.
"Hello," I say.
"Bloomingdales, Bloomingdales!" he shouts.
3:53 P.M. I get some sad family news. Internet is in and out here, but in a good moment, I find my favorite Barbara Pym quote: "The small things of life were often so much bigger than the great things ... the trivial pleasure like cooking, one's home, little poems especially sad ones, solitary walks, funny things seen and overheard."
4:45 P.M. My old boyfriend e-mails me about a recent fight he got into at a dinner party, over collective nouns. "I was quite put out, let me tell you," he says. Read More »
From the Cloakroom, at the Booker
October 20, 2011 | by Jonathan Gharraie
For the real action at this year's Man Booker Prize, you had to hit the cloakroom. For much of the evening, along with correspondents from all the major newspapers, I was sequestered in a large room in the palatial spread of the Guildhall. It was only when I ventured downstairs that recognizable faces attached to tuxedos and evening gowns began to drift in from the dinner. I ran across one former winner, dreamily improvising at an invisible keyboard while explaining how relieved he was to belong to what he called the great continuity of the prize; a well-known literary editor roamed the corridors, warily peering from right to left in the manner of a displaced meerkat; and Anne Robinson, host of The Weakest Link, was huddled against a wall, unusually hushed by the seashell allure of her cellphone.

Philip Hensher on 'King of the Badgers'
September 27, 2011 | by Jonathan Gharraie
King of the Badgers, Philip Hensher's seventh novel, comes on the heels of his ambitious, fictional survey of seventies Britain, The Northern Clemency. King of the Badgers focuses on the staged kidnapping of China O'Connor, in circumstances that inevitably recall the disappearance of Shannon Matthews. Shannon disappeared from her hometown of Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, in 2008 and, after huge national media attention, was discovered a month later in the home of her step-uncle, who was eventually convicted and jailed along with Shannon's mother. It delves into the private lives of the community in the fictional Devon town of Hanmouth. I met Philip in a trendily minimal Fitzrovia café, where Philip spoke of his imagined world as alive and elusively present.
Let's begin with Hanmouth, the setting for King of the Badgers. What kind of place is it?
Well, it's one of those places with a betwixt and between status. It's a town: it's not a village and it's not a city. Pressures in England are pushing most places in one direction or the other. Surprising places are suddenly being declared cities. Chesterfield is a city now. Brighton is a city now. If it's not big enough to have a claim to being a city then it's pushed down toward being a village.
I like those betwixt and between places, ones with about forty thousand people. They are small enough that people know each other, or recognize each other. Small enough that faces recur, but big enough for the chain of connections to stretch to a breaking point, so that people can still be strangers. Hanmouth is also an old town of the sort that are all over England. There's history in them that people want to identify with, but at the same time modernity keeps cropping up. Read More »

Literary reception[edit]
Despite its widespread acclaim[3][4][5] as a New York Times Notable Book of the Year and many reprints, in her 1997 critique of Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life, U.S. author Jane Franklin claims "...Anderson never quite communicates an understanding of why Guevara remains such a powerful presence. Relying too much on secondary sources for his knowledge of Cuban history, he fails to grasp the nature of the revolution for which Guevara, Fidel Castro and so many others were willing to die."[6] Conversely, author Peter Canby states, "...Anderson does a masterly job in evoking Che's complex character, in separating the man from the myth and in describing the critical role Che played in one of the darkest periods of the cold war. Ultimately, however, the strength of his book is in its wealth of detail."[3]
In the Washington Monthly, Matthew Harwood's review of The Fall of Baghdad was full of praise, "...his crisp and lush prose reads more like a work of literature than like reportage. But for all its literary beauty, the book's real power lies in its narrative strategy."[7]
