So far I have looked at two Slovakian records, both on FamilySearch. And both of them were cataloged incorrectly.
That is a lousy track record!
I'm looking for a birth in 1891 for somebody who lived in Čambalovci, so they probably were baptized in Rudina, Nesluša, Kysucké Nové Mesto, etc.
The Kysucké Nové Mesto records say they go until 1897 but it seems they only go to 1886.
I'm on image 749 of 790: I'm at the end of this group of photos. The microfilm says it goes from 1866-1886 but the cataloging above says it goes all the way to 1897. Somebody made a mistake.
Actually, maybe it does continue on the next microfilm reel, but I really cannot figure out which one it would be...so that's a problem.
I had the idea that maybe I could figure it by looking at the microfilm numbers in the FamilySearch catalog, but it turns out that FS cataloging numbers are different from Slovakian cataloging numbers? I think? I'm really not sure.
But...can somebody please explain to me why in the world Riečnica is apparently part of this area, and not Rudina? I mean, it seems to me that Rudina would have its own parish, but apparently it doesn't? Or didn't? Or...is this just another example of mis-cataloging by the well-meaning (but sort of clueless) folks at FamilySearch?
Apparently Riečnica is a town that doesn't exist anymore, except as a historic tourist site. But it is really quite far from Kysučké Nové Mesto, in my opinion...hmmm. I wish I understood more about Slovakian research.
I always forget that Slovakia is really quite close to Czechia, and especially to my part of it. Really, as one of my friends reminded me recently, Central Europe is pretty small and close together. It's important to remember that borders are really mostly arbitrary creations by governments, and that people didn't always stay nicely and neatly within them.

I admit it, I'm a kale head. Just start combing through the pages on The Domestic Life Stylist, and you'll start to see evidence. Kale, sausage and lentil soup and Sauteed kale with lemon are some of the other recipes that you'll love.
So it's only fitting that we have a recipe for kale chips on the blog.
I mean, what took me so long right? Here's my recipe for kale chips. Well, sorta of a recipe. There are no measurements in this one but, they are delicious all the same.
Start out with freshly soaked and dried kale. I like to dry the kale in a hand towel to make sure that the majority of the water is gone. Don't miss this step because it makes for chips that are extra crispy. Tear the kale into bite-sized pieces, making sure to remove the tough ribs.
Lightly drizzle the kale with a little olive and mix around. Sprinkle with sea salt and place in a preheated 275 degree oven for 20 minutes.
After cooking on one side, flip over and bake for 10 minutes more.
Then go ahead and bite into the deliciousness.
The kale chips can be stored in an airtight container or baggie for a few days…if it lasts that long.
- 1 bunch kale
- olive oil
- sea salt
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees
- Soak kale in water, rinse and pat dry with towel
- Tear kale into bite sized pieces (ribs removed)
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt
- Bake for 20 minutes, flip over and bake for 10 minutes more
- Enjoy

Learning to Pray
This summer I met with the senior staff at Temple Chai in Long Grove, IL. The staff told me about a chavurah (fellowship group) that had grown organically at their synagogue, made up of mostly interfaith families with young children. One request the staff at Temple Chai had heard from the parents in this group was the desire to have a learner's service on Shabbat so that they (and older children) could come to understand the whole Jewish worship experience on a deeper level.
On November 17 at 10:00am, the Learner's Service: Shabbat Unpacked will take place, and I will be co-leading the service with Rabbi Stephen Hart and Laura Siegel Perpinyal, their Director of Congregational Learning. We have been working on a handout that will unpack five main prayers in the Shabbat morning service. For each prayer we offer three ways to understand it by sharing the history and background information for the prayer, a brief "instruction manual" to understand how to "do" the prayer in terms of choreography, and a timing explanation in terms of when the prayer is said during the service and why.
As we go through the interactive service, we will highlight these five prayers and share even more through music, explanations about the meaning of the prayers historically, and how we can make them our own today. There will be childcare for young children, but children are welcome to join in the service as well.
In order for Jewish prayer to be meaningful, maybe especially for someone who didn't grow up being exposed to Jewish worship, several things have to happen. Hebrew has to be grappled with. Most people in congregations can't translate prayer book Hebrew word for word. Yet, through understanding basic Hebrew roots (the letter core of words), which often repeat and shed light on the meaning, one is able to gain a tremendous amount about the nature of the prayer. For instance, the root for "holy" in Hebrew is three letters, koof daled shin. These three letters form the word kiddush (blessing over wine), kadosh (the actual word meaning holy), and kaddish (the prayer said by mourners). Yet even if one knows many Hebrew root words, understanding prayer transcends literal understanding of the words. This is because much of prayer is poetry. So the sound the Hebrew makes and the rhythm is important (this can be understood by just listening to the Hebrew being said or sung). As well, reading the English translation can tell you what the prayer says, although thinking about the imagery and the repetition of words can bring deeper meaning. Thus even though Hebrew may feel like a barrier and a challenge, one can understand prayer on some level even when just beginning to learn Hebrew.
Other ways to make Jewish prayer more meaningful are to learn about the prayers (as will be a goal of this service), to contemplate Jewish views of God and one's own sense of spirituality, and also to seek meaning in being part of community. Prayer can be deeply meaningful when the images in prayer of peace or shelter, for example, lead us to action to brings these ideals to reality on earth.
Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, one of the 20th century's leading theologians, once said those "Who rise from prayer better persons, their prayer is answered." Jewish prayer can feel mysterious, boring, antiquated, and removed from what we know and understand today. Yet it can also elevate, inspire, and connect us. I hope those of you in Chicagoland will join us for a lively and upbeat prayer experience on November 17.
Shabbat Family Worship: Is it Possible?
We just finished an online class called Raising a Child with Judaism in Your Interfaith Family. Participants came to their computers on their own time and read essays, watched videos, read narratives written by other interfaith families and discussed with each other the content and meaning of the eight sessions. The sessions were about major aspects of parenting, from bedtime to meals to raising ethical children, and the wisdom Judaism can provide about these areas.
An interesting discussion arose about Shabbat family worship. Parents said that Friday evening services were too late for young children. Tot Shabbat was fun for the children but didn't fill the adults with spirituality or insight. Parents who were raised Christian said that they had warm memories of attending Church as a family on Sunday mornings: adults were able to participate in communal worship and children could join in or attend the nursery program. The whole family had an enriching experience that grounded their week and brought them together.
Why did this not exist within liberal Judaism, they wondered? It seemed as if Reform temples had essentially private bar or bat mitzvahs on Shabbat mornings, with no childcare for young children. Some Conservative synagogues had more options on Shabbat morning for the whole family, but parents who aren't Jewish worried that they wouldn't know enough Hebrew and would feel out of place somehow. I encouraged all of the participants to try both Reform and Conservative worship to see how they felt in reality, as assumptions and apprehensions may or may not come true. But the frustration was clear. Parents spoke about how their Jewish neighbors were taking the kids to soccer and swim lessons and anything other than Shabbat family worship.
I can relate to this frustration. I have worked at different Reform congregations around the country, and at least once a year it seems the senior staff would get together to talk about what to do with Shabbat! Were there ways to meet for earlier Friday evening family programs with dinner? If it was too early, parents who worked outside the home couldn't attend. Every idea for Shabbat morning family worship would be put forth: musical services, services with crafts and projects at the end for the children, services ending with lunch, and other ideas to make the service more "attractive" or "appealing." However, time and time again no matter how Shabbat morning got programmed, few families would attend. Even when rabbis preached about the need for this gift called Shabbat, the gift of time, of joy, of changing pace if only for an hour or two, of re-connecting… nobody seemed to bite.
Some rabbis explain this by saying that Judaism is a religion of the home, and it is not cultural to feel a pull to attend congregational worship. Families often do the Shabbat blessings over their own special dinner and have friends over. The kitchen table is referred to as the mikdash m'at (a miniature temple) in rabbinic writings because what goes on around the Shabbat table is worship. But that still does not answer our questions.
Perhaps this challenge can help bring positive changes to our Jewish communities. Maybe interfaith families will take the lead in bringing Shabbat family worship to liberal Jewish families who may not even realize what spending an hour or two on a Saturday morning together in song and peace would do for their family. Imagine if it became the cultural norm for families to come to synagogue from 9:30-11:00 on Saturday mornings in order to ground their week in hope, love and community. It will be exciting to see what ideas congregations can come up with for participatory, inclusive and engaging family worship with nursery options and learner's services so that the whole family can come together in making meaningful memories.
Purim: Family Fun
Purim is a great holiday for families and kids: there are costumes, excuses to make noise and act silly, and many communities have parties, carnivals or other celebrations appropriate for the littlest members or our families (or those who feel young at heart). This post is about making Purim fun for the whole family. Let us know how your family celebrates by sharing your customs, ideas and suggestions in the comments!
The mom who blogs at Bible Belt Balabusta explains that she's "worked hard to go from zero to….whatever speed I'm going these days, and I love sharing what I've learned with anyone who is even vaguely interested." She's all about the DIY as she says, "I especially love the 'why' behind it: I explore the customs and traditions behind holiday projects. If I'm learning, I'm happy." So I was totally excited to see her LEGO gragger for Purim, that actually works! But if that's still not geekily awesome enough for you, she has 4 different models and instructions to make your own. Amazing.
In a recent blog post for the URJ, Rabbi Vicki Tuckman explained the importance of being a "kitchen Jew."
There is not a Jewish holiday that comes around that I do not partially practice – and reinforce my own Jewish identity as a cultural Jew – in the kitchen. To me, Mordecai Kaplan was correct when he first stated in 1934 that "Judaism is more than a religion; it is an entire civilization. Not merely religious texts but also language, literature, and even arts and crafts are a part of it."
So how can you bring Purim into your kitchen? There's plenty to bake on Purim! Looking for a way to explain hamantaschen, a popular Purim treat, to your kids or their friends? Check out Shalom Sesame's video on making hamantaschen. Want some recipes? Check out our hamantaschen recipes, including a video recipe for "slacker hamantaschen" (what could be easier than 2 ingredients?). Or maybe you'd rather try some recipes for orejas de Haman ("Haman's ears") a Purim treat from the Sephardi communities.
As a bonus, there's always the intersection between kitchen Judaism and math. Yes, math. Because you too can bake your way to the "Sierpinski Hamantaschen."What's that? "You may be familiar with the Sierpinski triangle, a mathematically attractive, self-repeating fractal that starts with one equilateral triangle and breaks down into ever-smaller triangles." Some basics of the Sierpinski triangle:
First of all, when rotated to any side, it looks the same; I couldn't even tell where I'd started it. Also, as the triangles get smaller, notice a pattern in the quantity of each size: 1, 3, 9, 27…. I'm sure it would go on if I could make really really tiny hamantaschen, but I don't have that much power. Also, technically this triangle has no area, so maybe all the sugar doesn't count? But careful with that logic: it has infinite perimeter, and that dough for the perimeter is full of not-healthy ingredients like flour and sugar and oil.
So bring your love of math to the kitchen, teach your kids about the wonders of fractals, and have fun creating this uberhamantaschen.
Kveller shares ideas for Purim crafts with kids: Purim dolls, cards and gift bags (mishloach manot).
Want a fun way to encourage your kids to act on one of Purim's four commandments (mitzvot)? Try using unopened boxes of pasta as noisemakers during the reading of the Book of Esther (Megillat Esther). Shake those boxes for a satisfying rattling noise each time Haman's name is read. Then donate the boxes of food to a local food bank, fulfilling the mitzvah (commandment) to give to the poor on Purim.
And, finally, for those of you with teens or older kids who appreciate the finer offerings of Broadway, enjoy this new video made by Reform rabbinic and cantoral students studying at HUC-JIR Jerusalem campus. "The Book of Purim" is a spoof of The Book of Mormon.
Happy Purim!
Interfaith Family Shabbat- Total Joy
Friday, January 13, we hosted a JCC Makor Shabbat for Interfaith Families with Young Children, a community dinner organized by the JCC Shure Kehilla. The guidelines for the dinner we hosted were that participants need to be 21-39, and some of the parents who came to our house were pushing this, but everyone loved the idea of a program whose aim is to connect this cohort with great Jewish happenings all around Chicagoland. The night we held our interfaith family Shabbat, there were three other community Shabbat dinners organized by the Kehilla happening in the city (blue-line Shabbat, travelers Shabbat, music and arts) and another taking place out in Wheeling.
For this Shabbat, however, we were having four other couples with their combined eight children to our home for blessings, dinner, schmoozing and playing. I started by getting the whole house organized and cleaned up (which actually felt really good to do). Then I went to Taboun Grill to pick up the food the JCC had ordered. When I got there, I met Genia who runs the Russian Hillel. I have known Genia in name for years through the work I have done in and around Odessa, Ukraine, but she didn't know me. I was so excited to learn that she had become a Jewish professional in Chicago. I got to connect with her in person over some tea while we waited for our orders to be packed. (Genia was hosting the Wheeling Shabbat for Jews in the 'Burbs, another of these community dinners organized through the Kehilla.) We talked about interfaith couples in the Russian community and what she is seeing in terms of identity and interests of her students.
About The New Busy
Wow, I really hate this new Hotmail ad campaign. I noticed and loathed it for the first time yesterday on a poster in a bus shelter in Boston, a big green field with the words, "THE NEW BUSY THINK 9 TO 5 IS A CUTE IDEA" in white letters.
Now, there are a lot of reasons to hate this. First, as one Seattle-area blogger pointed out in an aptly-titled post, New Ad Campaign for Hotmail Is Everything We Expect From Microsoft–Awkward, Baffling, Hard to Escape, "This exercise in tone-weirdness, this ball of syntactical confusion, has started showing up on billboards, buses, banner ads, and the signature lines of Hotmail users everywhere. " Local Boston journalist Alex Beam considers this campaign part of "the War Against the English Language." It's a bad ad campaign for what seems to be an inferior product, a 15-year-old web-based email system.
I'm not all that crazy about Hotmail, since they seem to me to be more than usually vulnerable to hacking–but that's not why I'm writing about this on our blog. I'm writing about it because I am finding our 24/7 work culture an affront to basic human dignity, because it flies in the face of the reason I observe Shabbat.
Shabbat is the opposite of the New Busy. Shabbat is the very old Not Busy. Shabbat is a time to unplug. Shabbat is the time when your family can be together without working. Without working! No working! Stop working! Rest! Because you have a RIGHT to rest sometimes! Your boss cannot possibly pay you enough to justify working all the time!
This isn't only a Jewish issue–I'm not saying this just to get interfaith families to go to Tot Shabbat. (Though that's also so nice.) I am saying it's time for everyone to get off of this treadmill and admit that we need to rest.
I'm giving you advice about what you should do tonight. Go have a nice meal with your lovely family or friends, and then afterward, lie down and sleep. Take a DAY OFF this weekend. You are a person with needs and relationships. Affirm the basic inherent dignity of human individuals, the beauty of the natural world and its rhythms, something good that is not work. The New Busy is the old oppression.
Judith Shulevitz on the Sabbath
It's still Passover and I'm still processing the experience of my family seder, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to link you to two pieces about a new book by Judith Shulevitz, The Sabbath World: Glimpses of a Different Order of Time. I'm delighted to see that Rebecca Neuberger Goldstein, who wrote the fantastic recent book on Spinoza and Jewish identity, did the New York Times review of Shulevitz's book.
Shulevitz, who grew up in an observant Jewish household, is ambivalent about how to keep Shabbat in a traditional way. No longer Orthodox, she has to come to terms with how to rest on Shabbat. She has both a deep understanding and background in Jewish thought and culture, and a profoundly American sensibility–I'm listening to her interview with Terry Gross on NPR's Fresh Air program, and it's amazing.
When I'm trying to figure out how to talk about Jewish observance for interfaith families and not to repel people by making one mode of observance the normative one, it's really hard to talk about resting on Shabbat. By resting I mean not only doing the rituals that make Shabbat beautiful, but stopping work, or as Shulevitz puts it, being together, not exerting mastery over the world–resting together, not only resting. Shulevitz says some great things in this interview and I'm enticed to read this book and have it reviewed on our site, if I can.
Challah Day
I baked challah last night. I'm sorry I don't have a photo–I did some cool braiding. I made the first recipe in the wonderful A Blessing of Bread, by Maggie Glezer. Glezer collected recipes, mainly from Jewish grandmothers, for holiday and festival breads. I've learned a lot since I started baking from it. I wanted to bake again to try to use up the rest of the flour in our house. I also made cake, and I'm planning to make pasta. The carb-a-thon is due to my need to clean out my cupboards of non-Passover food before cleaning the house for Passover.
I was thinking about how I would like to have more guests just this morning, as I was mulling over the resource guide to Jewish spirituality that I'm writing for IFF. I wanted to make the case that Jewish spirituality was mundane, something in which everyone could participate, Jewish or not. I thought of the mitzvah of hospitality in Judaism. I hadn't known until I looked it up that it trumps prayer or study–it's one of the most important mitzvot of all. Great for interfaith families, too, because there are lots of hospitable people who don't realize that they are doing something spiritual. I have a great impression of the people who read and write for our site–they love to cook and invite people. When we do that, we're in imitation of God, of whom we say in Psalms 145:16, "You open your hand and satisfy all the living." That's how we should be, too.
That's why I am planning to spring Global Hunger Shabbat on my havurah this Shabbat, when I lead services on Saturday morning. (Now I'll find out who is reading my blog posts, eh?) I'm going to use some of their educational materials–I also have some selections from Psalms in mind to sing. The Global Hunger Shabbat is part of a project from the American Jewish World Service. I also want to give a shout out to Project Mazon, A Jewish Response to Hunger, which makes grants to local hunger-relief agencies. In my area we have the Greater Boston Food Bank. We also have organizations that give to Jews in need–Passover food is extra expensive–like Jewish Family and Children's Service Family Table.
Before Passover is a great time to think about people who are hungry, as we gear up for the seder when we say, "All who are hungry, let them come and eat."
Sabbath Mode
Several people whom I know happened to be purchasing new stoves or ovens, and asked me, "What does it mean that the appliance has a Sabbath mode?" I knew what it was, even though my oven [float=left][/float]doesn't have it! My current oven isn't very useful for Shabbat observance, since it shuts off after a few hours. Though I can leave food in to stay warm on Friday evenings in the winter, the oven would shut off before lunch the next day. Apparently, some people complained to oven manufacturers, and they invented Sabbath mode as a way to let oven users override the automatic shutoff.
Once I had explained what the oven feature was, one of my friends wanted to know why someone would want to leave the oven on for 24 hours. At that point, I had to explain that not working on Shabbat has a very specific meaning in rabbinic Judaism. The rabbis had to figure out which work counted as the labor you aren't doing on Shabbat, and which other activities you could do, and they developed the classification of 39 categories of labor which is based on this week's Torah portion and the proximity of the instruction to keep Shabbat to the discussion of how the Israelites built the mishkan, the portable tabernacle they used while wandering in the desert.
My friend said, "I knew you weren't supposed to cook–I just assumed that meant a cold meal." The rabbis of the Talmud didn't like that idea, and they invented work-arounds that would make it possible not to cook but to still keep the food warm. Today's work-arounds are of course more sophisticated. (Well, and less, since part of what they involve is a button to shut off the ways the oven beeps and thinks for itself about when to shut off!)
Professor Aryeh Cohen (whom I used to follow around with puppy-like devotion when we were both graduate students at Brandeis) wrote a discussion of this week's Torah portion in which he understands Shabbat as a means of separating into a special space, just by what we aren't doing:
I thought this was cool, because I was trying to figure out how to translate "Sabbath mode" into what human beings do, and it's true–shutting off your regular functions is what makes it possible to have a Sabbath mode.
On the other hand, Aryeh's implication here about Jewish distinctiveness is difficult for me, because I know a lot of interfaith families who are sharing the benefits of Shabbat. What if "your neighbor" isn't just your neighbor, but your very very good friend, such a good friend you decided to get married? Not exactly a neighbor. As Ed Case puts it, any Shabbat experience an interfaith family does is shared.
Not that I totally want to reject an opportunity for Jewish pride in distinctiveness. I sometimes see a bumper sticker, "The Labor Movement–The Folks Who Brought You the Weekend." You could say the same about the Jewish people–we invented the idea of a day off, something everyone needs. Everyone in the world should feel invited into Shabbat territory, Shabbat headspace–Sabbath mode. It's a Jewish contribution, a gift to civilization.
I'm writing this knowing fully well that stopping, not working, not doing, is much more challenging than you think. Most people, even those who want to, can't do it. That's why Exodus 31:13 in this week's portion has this mysterious word "ach" meaning still, but, nevertheless or however. Because not working is hard, even on your day off.
Glad I am Not a Werewolf and Can Eat Fruit
In the Hebrew school parking lot on Wednesday night, my son and I witnessed another little boy howling at the moon. "Sure glad I'm not a Jewish werewolf," I said to my kid. "You would miss all the holidays." It's true–the Hebrew calendar assures that many Jewish holidays fall on the full moon, including Passover, Sukkot and Hanukkah. If you transform into a wolf when the moon is full, no matzah or latkes for you.
Tonight minor yet intriguing holiday, Tu Bishvat, called Hag La-Ilanot, the tree holiday, is no exception. Even its name, the 15th of Shevat, is a clue–because all Hebrew months start on the new moon. The holiday could be called the birthday of trees, since it was the date that Jews in ancient Israel used to figure out the age of their trees in order to know when to bring fruit from them to the Temple in Jerusalem on Shavuot. A highly technical date, Tu Bishvat has been transformed into a holiday celebrating agriculture in the land of Israel, kabbalistic theories of the universe and environmental consciousness.
When I was a kid, we celebrated Tu Bishvat by eating raisins and almonds in Hebrew school and by buying trees in Israel through the Jewish National Fund. We also sang a little song in Hebrew about almond trees, "Ha-Shkediyah Porachat." (It's not easy to transliterate the Hebrew word for almond tree.) The lyrics mean something like, "the almond trees are blooming, the golden sun is shining, on the top of every roof, birds sing to herald the holiday." My friend taught me an alternate version that fits the weather here much better:
The almond tree is freezing, the apple tree is sneezing
I went searching for the original version of the song, and found this adorable Spanish-speaking family getting all excited about the almond trees and cyclamen in Israel:
Today, it's become increasingly common for people to celebrate Tu Bishvat with a seder, a mystical practice that compares the peels and seeds of fruit to the inner nature of everything. We ran a great piece by Aaron Kagan about his interfaith Tu Bishvat seder that he had last year. I also found a cool little article with recipes on The Jew and the Carrot A Tu Bishvat Seder for Every Personality.
We're actually invited to a Tu Bishvat seder tonight at my havurah–but we aren't going. I can't imagine how we are going to have enough energy even to eat the stuffed cabbage I prepared last night. (Which has fruit in it! Yes!)
If you are interested in an opportunity to think about the environment, to appreciate your local trees, and to think about mystical connections–and most important if you are not a werewolf— Tu Bishvat is the holiday for you.
Cooking Up New Traditions
My husband found this blog, Sephardic Food, where culinary expert Janet Amateau posts Sephardi cultural lore and recipes. Some of the blog posts are in Spanish because Amateau lives in Spain. I've been meaning to tell you about it, because I know a lot of our readers want Sephardi recipes, and these are great–with great explanations.
When I wrote the Jewish Food Cheat Sheet, which defined dozens of Ashkenazi Jewish food terms, it came with an introduction, Understanding Jewish Food Traditions, which placed Ashkenazi Jewish food in a more global Jewish context, with Sephardi, Mizrachi and other Jewish cultures.
The truth is, all the Jews in the US aren't all Eastern European, and even those of us who are Ashkenazi Jews love Jewish food traditions from elsewhere. Interfaith families are totally part of this. If you're married to someone Italian who isn't Jewish, it's pretty cool to read Classic Italian Jewish Cooking by Edna Servi Machlin, just as an example. If you're a Jew by choice, it's nice to find ways to incorporate your old food traditions into new kosher rules.
In my overwhelmingly vegetarian, mainly Ashkenazi community, there are great fans of Olive Trees and Honey. I am still cooking my way through Claudia Roden's The Book of Jewish Food, though my copy is falling apart.
I am always looking for ways to include recipes on the site, so if your family has kosher-ized some of the recipes from the non-Jewish side, or has revved up an Ashkenazi dish with the spices of another culinary tradition, or done any tasty sort of thing with food and culture, contact me.

There well maybe, but if an oncologist believes nothing can be realistically done then it is his call. Nothing prevents you getting a second opinion (or looking in specific cancer support forums)
My Step father just recently died from leukaemia but the chemo ravaged his body to the point of being cruel. His last wish was to get out of hospital and die at home which he managed with 2 days left.

I know how hard it is to take that first step to talk to someone. After we lost our daughter my husband was trying to convince me for weeks to go talk to a therapist. I kept resisting, but after I went I felt like a huge cloud had been lifted off of me...I didn't feel so crazy for being so sad anymore. I am SOOOO sorry you're feeling so badly, it's to be expected but it's just not fair, is it??
to you in your times of sorrow...

Royal Jubilee fund receives $350,000 boost
Jan 25 2012
A campaign to raise $25 million for cutting-edge technology at Royal Jubilee Hospital's patient-care centre received a $350,000 multi-year pledge from the RBC Foundation Tuesday. The money is dedicated to seniors' care.
The donation to the Victoria Hospitals Foundation's Building Care Together campaign was made by Tom Siemens, vice-president of commercial financial services, Royal Bank of Canada, in the atrium of the $349 million patient-care centre, which opened last year.
RBC has dedicated $50,000 toward training hospital staff to work with new equipment and technology already in place at the 500-bed hospital. The remaining $300,000 is earmarked for geriatric mental health services. With Tuesday's announcement, the Victoria Hospitals Foundation's Building Care Together campaign has received pledges totalling $11.7 million.
"The technology at work in this new facility is remarkable, and we're proud to be helping our local citizens receive world-class care," Siemens said in a statement.
VIHA plans to use the patient-care centre as a template for future hospital construction.
Canada's premiers visited the facility before their Council of the Federation conference last week.
The Victoria Hospitals Foundation works in partnership with Vancouver Island Health Authority to bring in donations to the Island's two largest hospitals — Royal Jubilee and Victoria General.

The Mercedes S 63 AMG is the latest high performance Mercedes presented. It has made its debut in the last Frankfurt Motor Show, where he has delight press and public. No wonder: is the most advanced luxury sedan at the time, and also the most powerful. Under the hood beats the M157 5.5 V8 Biturbo with 585 hp and a monstrous torque of 900 Nm. The news is that maybe the S 63 AMG is the latest brand AMG M157 engine as it seems to have reached its limit of power and torque.
The news has come out of the mouth of Tobias Moers, one of the directors of AMG. It appears that it is possible to extract more power and torque without compromising reliability M157 or carry out structural modifications overpriced. Preparers are separate, of course, as reliability is generally not their top priority. AMG is not going to stop using the M157 is imminent, but for higher power applications has reached its end. The key is now to find a suitable replacement.

Court Strikes Down Affirmative Action In Public Schools
November 20, 1998
In the first federal appeals court ruling on affirmative action in public school admissions, a three-judge panel in Boston, Mass., yesterday struck down racial preferences at Boston Latin School, the city's most prestigious public high school. Observers say the decision may affect a number of school districts that admit students to so-called magnet schools on a competitive basis.
The challenge to Boston Latin was brought by a white student who was not admitted.
- Half the students at Boston Latin are selected competitively, based on entrance examination scores and grates.
- Admissions for the other half of the students are weighted by race.
- For example, if 27 percent of the remaining qualified applicants, those from the top half of their class, are African-American, 27 percent of those admitted must black.
Boston Latin instituted a race preference program in 1975, when a federal court required the school set aside at least 35 percent of each entering class for black and Hispanic students -- a practice that continued until it was challenged in 1995.
The new, 2-to-1 appeals court decision overturned a federal judge's ruling in favor of the program. Appeals court Judge Bruce M. Selya says making race "a determining factor in the admission of a subset of each year's incoming classes, offends the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection."

Kaye has close to 20 years experience as a photographer, following many years immersed in the creative industry of fashion and design. It was during her time studying for the fashion industry that saw her first experience the wonders of the darkroom, a love she went back to when deciding to retrain in photography many years later.
Since then, she has worked as a freelance photographer, undertaking wedding, portrait and commercial photography. Now working as a full-time Senior Lecturer on the Bachelor of Applied Visual Imaging (UCOL, Palmerston North, New Zealand), she also gives back to the industry through writing a regular column for The Photographer's Mail, as an international judge, a position on the NZIPP Board and as current Chair of the NZIPP Honours Council.
Kaye's practice now revolves around photographic art and a love of landscape, still life, illustrative and portraiture.
Career highlights include Epson/NZIPP Professional Photographer of the Year 2013 (New Zealand), Illustrative Photographer of the Year 2013 (Australia), Creative Photographer of the Year 2014, 2013 and 2011 (New Zealand).
"I absolutely love being part of this amazing profession and I'm constantly amazed and inspired by the passion, creativity and talent that exists at all levels.
"As an artist, photography is my medium of choice for expressing and interpreting the wonders of nature and the world around me, and I love that I am constantly learning about the art of photography."
Tim Parkin is On Landscape online photography magazine's editor and, along with Joe Cornish, co-founder. Originally a computer engineer with a PhD, he has worked extensively in publishing, the internet and the music industry, but today Tim is immersed in all aspects of the art and craft. While his background means he is completely comfortable with digital photography and post-production, he chooses to shoot a lot of his landscape work on film using large format cameras.
"Our original goal for On Landscape was to create something dedicated to the people we both meet on a fairly regular basis. The amateurs who spend all of their spare time in the field, the semi-professionals trying to make a living from this misunderstood occupation and the full timers who have managed to build themselves a niche in a challenging business field.
"At the end of the day my photography is about learning; learning to see, learning to take pictures, learning about other photographers. This process also becomes a conversation with other photographers (who tend to be a nice bunch mostly) and this engagement is satisfying in itself."
Alex Noriega is full-time landscape photographer currently based in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. "I've been shooting for over seven years now. I most often find myself photographing the incredible geology of the American desert southwest, or the dramatic scale of mountain environments. My primary goal is to create images of nature that evoke emotion in me and hopefully that translates to the viewer. I have a great appreciation for both dramatic and quiet scenes.
"In 2016, I won three major awards, all international competitions with thousands of entries from dozens of countries:
"My images have appeared in a number of publications, including USA Today, Landscape Photography Magazine, Photography Masterclass Magazine, DPReview, Scholastic, N-Photo Magazine, LeNs Magazine, Digital Photo Magazine, Digital Camera World, Digital Photographer Magazine, Practical Photography Magazine, Photographer's Companion Magazine, Amateur Photographer UK, and the IES Lighting Handbook."
Alex was the winner of the 2016 International Landscape Photographer of the Year and as such has been invited to be on the 2017 judging panel.
It takes a practised eye and skill in post-production to consistently produce good work. And while in no way demeaning the achievement of capturing the overall International Landscape Photograph of the Year, let's take a closer look at who is creating the best body of work. The International Landscape Photographer of the Year, whether an enthusiast or a professional entrant, recognises the skill and discipline to create a portfolio of images that stands above the work of your peers.

I think that sometimes in life, it is good to sit and write down exactly what you want. We always think in the back of our head that we are working towards something, but then we get lost in the routines and life just gets in the way. We lose sight of what it is that we are really working towards. How great would it be to know one thing, exactly what you want, and know that every single day you are doing one thing to work towards that? That everyday you are spending 10 minutes doing something that will get you what you want.
- Finishing my degree
- Passing my driving test
- Moving out into my own house
Sometimes it's really hard to find the motivation. You just think 'if I don't do anything today, and I do it all tomorrow then nothing will change', and maybe that is true, but maybe it is not. Maybe today is the opportunity that you will never have again. I'm not saying you have to make huge advances, work all day towards something and never miss a day. Quite the opposite. Just do something, even if it's blogging about it, writing down an idea, thinking about it while in the bath or walking the dog. Just keep in mind your goals. I'm going to print out the things I'm working for and stick them next to my mirror that I use in the morning.
I don't need to be worried that I am not advancing fast enough.
I do need to be patient, and realise that it will pay off.
Life is not a film or a book, you make your happy endings.
My main goal is to be happy.
This morning me and Jack wandered into town so that he could apply for a job, we got some cake and a brownie from Costa then came home and chilled for a little bit before coming back to my home home. I will be back there tomorrow. I love getting some time on my own, but I also miss him even though it will only be for about 24 hours. It's quite nice to miss someone sometimes though, if you know that you will see them soon. It's a reminder of how much they mean to you and your life. Jack makes me excited for the future, and excited for what we can do with our lives together. I am excited to see what he does as he grows older, and I can't wait to spend all those special moments with him by my side.
Currently (as I said in my last post) I am trying to read The Casual Vacancy by J K Rowling again, as last time I gave up about 100 pages in. J K Rowling is one of my hugest idols, she is an incredible person and I want to thank her so, so much for filling my childhood with wonder and magic, and for giving me such amazing role models in Harry, Ron and Hermione (as well as many others). Last time I felt that I didn't like how it was written. But this time, I just kind of get it more. I get that it is incredibly clever, and that it is masterfully put together in true J K Rowling style. I am literally eating up every sentence on the page. It can be quite hard to follow, but only because there are a lot of characters and sometimes I lose track of them. But I am loving it at the moment. It is a bit weird though that the voice of my childhood is now writing books that talk about sex and some racy language.
I have been having a lot of arguments with my mother today, but to cut a long story short she is not willing to stay here until I finish my final year of university. Therefore, I am looking to find somewhere that I can stay. It is very stressful, and very upsetting, and I wish that things could be different.
Aaaaannnnddd if you can believe it, it is the end of my week of blogging. My word it has gone very, very quickly. I have really enjoyed it though, and thankyou everyone who did it with me or who are doing it right now. It's amazing to think I can suggest something and then people from all over the country - and over the world in some cases - take the time out of their lives to do it with me. This is the wonderful power of the internet.

Volibear Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Volibear Hybrid Tank/Damage
So this is a new build I'm trying out. In terms of the mastery tree and the skill sequence those are not set in stone and are more guild lines than anything else. For the runes I have selected Armor, Magic resist and attack speed with some health (to complement Voli's Frenzy). For the items: the first five are pretty standard and are built before anything else. Then Atma's for armor, critical strike and added attack damage. Then for here it's very open Black clever and Malady add attack speed. Black Clever also helps with attack damage and reduces the enemy's armor. Malady does the same thing but on the magic side giving more ability power and reduces the enemy's magic resist. The final item, Force of Nature can but substituted for Spirit Visage if cash is a problem but I think Force of Nature is better value for your money. Anyway tell me what you think????

This is the first high-level meeting between Mexico and Myanmar in four decades of diplomatic relations, reflecting Mexico's interest in achieving rapprochement with a Southeast Asian country undergoing a period of major political and economic changes.
President Peña Nieto congratulated the Minister on the progress of the democratization process in her country, as well as its economic outlook.
In particular, he welcomed the Peace Conference held last August in Myanmar, highlighting the positive effect it will have on the peace process and national reconciliation in that country.
Aung San Suu Kyi is an international symbol of peaceful struggle and a key figure in the pro-democracy movement in Myanmar. Throughout her tireless work on behalf of democracy, she has received broad international support.
In 1991, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Aung San Suu Kyi leads the efforts to establish dialogue, cooperation and reconciliation between military and civil society leaders, together with political and economic actors, to achieve peace in this country.
She has been an important voice for human rights, an emblematic defender of the struggle for democratization as a result of which she has received several international awards. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991.
Mexico and Myanmar established diplomatic relations in October 1976. The governments of both countries have concurrently accredited ambassadors, Mexico from its resident Embassy in Singapore and Myanmar through its Permanent Mission at the United Nations.
Myanmar is one of the members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), a key space in Mexico's strategy to achieve rapprochement with the Asia-Pacific region.

The FL Concept provides images that are brighter and sharper, colours that are more vivid and highly saturated, and extended twilight and low light performance, even in the most unforgiving weather. Unlike ordinary optical systems, the FL Concept significantly minimizes chromatic aberrations, virtually eliminates annoying stray light interference, image fuzziness, and low contrast, allowing you to reap the ultimate visual rewards.
Key features of the FL Concept:
- FL glass with fluoride ions in the objective for superior colour correction.
- Thin lens design, employing multiple air-spaced elements for reduced weight, improved resolution and minimal distortions.
- Highly sophisticated eyepiece design for a wide field of view and long eye relief performance.
- Exceptional internal baffling against stray light for improved contrast.
- T* anti-reflective multi-layer coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces for brighter, high-contrast images.
- P* phase correction prism coatings for improved resolution.
- High efficiency prisms for improved light transmission and higher resolution.
LotuTec® Lens Coating
Whether you're out in the field in heavy rain or entrenched in a bug-infested swamp waiting for the perfect opportunity to arise, the last thing that should interfere with the moment is water and dirt on your lenses. Like a lotus leaf, LotuTec® coating on the objective and ocular lenses repels water so efficiently that raindrops literally roll right off the glass. And the super smooth lens surface can be easily wiped clean without smearing or damaging the optics. As a testament to its superiority over other lens coatings, ZEISS LotuTec® was honoured with the prestigious Gray's Best award, recognized as the only optical process that allows lenses to shed water completely. So that even in the heaviest downpours your lenses will remain free from water and dirt, and the view will be as impeccable as ever.
Dual Speed Focus
A Carl Zeiss innovation. Two focusing speeds combined in a single control knob. Precision mode facilitates accurate focus. Rapid mode engages automatically when needed. The intuitive focus mechanism adapts its speed to every requirement - all with a single knob.
Key features of Dual Speed Focus:
- Precision: a 270 degree rotation on either side of current focus focuses slowly and precisely.
- Rapid: beyond the Precision zone, focus speed increases 5 times, to move the focus point rapidly. Just keep turning.
- Automatic: stop moving the control and it automatically drops back to Precision mode, wherever you are in the focus travel!

Credit is subject to application and status. Warehouse Express Ltd trading as Wex Photographic act as credit broker and not the lender. Barclays Partner Finance act as the lender.
Can I repay early? If so how?
No repayments are scheduled in the initial six-month deferral period. However, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, but a £29.00 early-settlement will be incurred. Such repayments may be made to Barclays Partner Finance by cheque, debit card or standing order. Unfortunately it is not possible to set up a direct debit within the deferral period. Further information on how to make such repayments will be set out in the loan agreement pack provided by Barclays Partner Finance.
What happens if I don't repay within the first six months (deferral period)?
Following the six month deferral period, Barclays Partner Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 19.9% APR on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Late payment penalties and early repayment charges will apply from this point. Barclays Partner Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six month deferral period is due to elapse. Note: If you chose to spread the cost and pay monthly, interest is charged from the start of the loan, not from the start of the repayment period.
What will I receive from the finance provider (lender)?
Barclays Partner Finance will send a loan agreement pack approximately four weeks after delivery of the goods, confirming that the account has been activated and, from this point, it is possible to make repayments against the loan.

Calming Traffic With Zig-Zag Lines
"The Virginia Department of Transportation says it's part of a safety campaign to get drivers to slow down in a high pedestrian and bicycle area. The 500 feet of zig-zagging lines are painted on the ground on Belmont Ridge Road, where it intersects with the Washington and Old Dominion trail in Loudoun County."
"'It is a low cost strategy to get motorists to slow down as they approach the bike trail and pedestrian path,' says VDOT's Mike Salmon. 'While at first motorists may be a little disoriented, the main point is to get them to pay attention and slow down through that area.'"

History Texts Called Inaccurate And Superficial
November 30, 1998
Students are being exposed to history textbooks which not only have their facts wrong, but are written in a simplistic style, according to some critics.
- Taxpayers spend close to $5 billion a year for public school history books, but many scholars can't recommend any now in use.
- Several years ago, popular history texts presented to the Texas school board were found to have more than 5,000 errors.
- Not only are the texts being produced today massive -- averaging 888 pages and weighing 4.5 pounds -- they are also superficial and boring, reviewers complain.
- While great events are often covered in one or two sentences, a great deal of space is taken up with politically correct data which emphasizes big government and the roles of women and minorities.
Moreover, many of those who teach history keep in lock-step with the texts because often they never took a college course in history. The Education Department reports that 55 percent of public school history teachers don't have history degrees. In fact, it is not all that uncommon for gym teachers to be found in front of history classes.

If you're looking for a commitment any time soon from Columbus (Ohio) Eastmoor star running back Isaiah Pead, don't hold your breath.
The 5-foot-10, 184-pounder still continues to get plenty of attention from schools coast-to-coast, and that means he's got a really tough decision ahead.
And it's one that won't come for quite some time.
Article Continues Below
"It probably won't be until signing day," Pead, who is ranked as the nation's No. 27 running back, said. "I plan on setting up visits soon. I don't know who to yet. I've got a couple in mind, but I've got to talk to my coach."
Where those visits will be is tough to figure out, Pead said. He's got a slew of scholarship offers from teams like Cincinnati, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Pittsburgh, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Marshall. And always lurking in the background for him is Ohio State, the lone school on his top team list that hasn't offered.
"Actually we just talked on Saturday," Pead said. "I was there for the game. They told me to keep in touch. They are waiting to see what I get on my SAT. Last week I also talked to Maryland, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota and West Virginia."
Pead definitely did some damage on the 2007 season. He broke several records and was one of the most dominating offensive players in Ohio this season.
"I'm now the all time leading rusher at my school," he said. "I broke the touchdown record with 39 touchdowns this season. I had 2,204 yards and averaged 11.6 yards a carry.
"Our season actually ended early. We were 9-1 but somehow we didn't make the playoffs. We won last Friday and we were all happy and celebrating. Then come Saturday morning we found out we weren't in the playoffs."
While the season did end early, don't expect Pead's decision to come early.

Its 2017: what case can be made for the Government to be in the broadcasting business, competing unfairly with the private sector? The CBC receives advertising and cable/satellite fees-fees greater than CTV and Global but this is not enough for the greedy CBC who also receive more than a billion dollars of your tax money. And now the new Trudeau Government has promised at least an additional $150 million dollars a year to this biased, wasteful government broadcaster. As is, Taxpayers continue to be hosed to the tune of about $100,000,000 (yes, 100 MILLION) of our taxes every 30 days with no CBC accountability to taxpayers as they continue with their biased news service serving only the extreme socialists and anti-Semitics. Wake up Canada!
cbcExposed continues to hear from confidential sources inside the CBC about the "scandal du jour" and we will continue to expose their reports of waste, abuse and bias while we protect our sources. We take joy in knowing CBC-HQ visits us daily to research our stories such as the CBC Sunshine List, ongoing scandals including the epic Dr. Leenen case against The Fifth Estate (the largest libel case ever awarded against the media in Canadian history) where no one at CBC was fired and taxpayers paid the award and legal costs for this CBC Libel action. Writers and filmmakers take note-this is a Perfect story for a Documentary!
cbcExposed continues to enjoy substantial visitors coming from Universities and Colleges across Canada who use us for research in debates, exams, etc. We ask students to please join us in this mission; you have the power to make a difference! And so can private broadcasters who we know are hurting from the dwindling Advertising revenue pool and the CBC taking money from that pool while also unfairly getting Tax subsidies money. It's time to stop being silent and start speaking up.
Our cbcExposed Twitter followers and frequent visitors to cbcExposed continue to motivate us to expose CBC's abuse and waste of tax money as well as exposing their ongoing left wing bully-like news bias. Polls meanwhile show that Canadians favour selling the wasteful government owned media giant and to put our tax money to better use for all Canadians. The Liberals privatized Petro Canada and Air Canada; it's time for the Trudeau Liberals to privatize the CBC, not give them more tax money.
What does it take for real change at the CBC? You! Our blog now contains a link to the Politicians contact info for you to make your voice heard. Act now and contact your MP, the Cabinet and Prime Minister ... tell them to stop wasting your money, and ... sell the CBC.

CBC Peter Mansbridge Secret relationship
Like the fact that Mansbridge jetted to Italy to preside over the luxury wedding of Kate Purchase, Justin Trudeau's director of communications, to Perry Tsergas, another top Liberal operative?
And why was Kate Purchase's father, Bruce Anderson, allowed to have a seat on Mansbridge's exclusive "At Issue" TV panel for years — even though he was in an obvious conflict of interest?
What other private dealings does Mansbridge have with the ruling Liberal Party that he hasn't disclosed?
This is a shocking story.
But it has been virtually ignored by the mainstream media. Imagine their national freak-out if a top CBC journalist had a personal relationship with Stephen Harper's communications director — and put his father on a CBC panel. What a double-standard!
How can the CBC even pretend to be independent and unbiased now?
Read the full story.

Hayden Rogers won the Democratic nomination for U.S. House District 11 on Tuesday, while Republicans Mark Meadows and Vance Patterson will face off in a runoff election in July.
Hayden Rogers won the Democratic nomination for U.S. House District 11 on Tuesday, while Republicans Mark Meadows and Vance Patterson will face off in a runoff election in July.
The winner in the November general election will replace Democratic Congressman Heath Shuler, who did not run for re-election.
In the Democratic race, Rogers of Brasstown won with 35,027 votes or 55.72 percent of the district votes. He garnered 2,719 votes in Henderson County and 1,504 votes in Transylvania County. Rogers beat out Democrats Tom Hill of Zirconia and Cecil Bothwell of Asheville. Hill received 8,907 votes across the district or 14.17 percent, including 1,455 votes in Henderson County and 399 votes in Transylvania County. Bothwell received a total of 18,931 votes or 30.11 percent, with 2,542 votes in Henderson County and 1,545 in Transylvania County.
Rogers did not immediately return calls Tuesday night. His spokesman did issue a prepared statement. "I am tremendously humbled and honored to have received the Democratic nomination for the 11th Congressional District today," Rogers stated. "This is just the first step in our effort to continue moving Western North Carolina forward. … While others in this race are trying to pull this country to the right and left, I am committed to moving it forward."
Hill said earlier Tuesday that he wanted everyone to know that this election was a positive experience for him.
"I enjoyed meeting the people and shaking hands," he said. "I got to know my opponents, and with the exception of one or two Republicans, I liked them all."
Eight candidates were vying for the Republican nomination, and no one received more than 40 percent of the votes cast, sending the race into a runoff. The precise date for the July vote has not been set, elections officials said Tuesday.
In the districtwide tally, District Attorney Jeff Hunt finished in third place, behind Meadows in Patterson. In Henderson County, Meadows and Hunt outpaced Patterson.
Meadows garnered 35,452 votes or 37.89 percent districtwide, while Patterson earned 22,111 votes or 23.63 percent. Meadows collected 8,496 votes in Henderson County, and 1,336 votes in Transylvania County. Patterson got 2,730 votes in Henderson County and 642 in Transylvania County.
Meadows and Hunt did not immediately return calls Tuesday night.
Patterson said he didn't want to comment on a runoff, since voting results would not be official until after the canvass Tuesday.
"If it happens, we look forward to it," he said. "What I heard people saying was that we had such great candidates, it was hard for them to decide. We did have people stepping up in all areas from military to business to judicial. It was a good group to run with. It was a clean campaign, as it should be."
Results for the trailing Republican candidates were:
u Spence Campbell of Hendersonville earned 1,785 votes or 1.91 percent of the districtwide vote. Campbell got 704 votes in Henderson County and 89 votes in Transylvania County.
u Susan Harris of Old Fort got 5,754 votes or 6.15 percent of the overall vote. Harris gathered 818 votes in Henderson County and 288 votes in Transylvania County.
u Hunt of Brevard gathered 13,164 votes or 14.07 percent of the district tally. Hunt earned 3,677 votes in Henderson County and 2,372 votes in Transylvania County.
u Chris Petrella of Marion got 763 votes or .82 percent districtwide. Petrella received 121 votes in Henderson County and 30 votes in Transylvania County.
u Kenny West of Hayesville got 3,943 votes or 4.21 percent districtwide. West got 310 votes in Henderson County and 127 in Transylvania County.
u Ethan Wingfield of Arden gathered 10,583 votes or 11.31 percent of the total. Wingfield got 883 votes in Henderson County and 371 votes in Transylvania.
U.S. House District 11 encompasses portions of Avery, Buncombe, Burke, Caldwell, Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Macon, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, Swain, Transylvania and Yancey counties.

The firm's turnover for 2000/ 2001 went up less than 8 per cent to £40m, while average profits per partner lingered around last year's £125,000 mark.
The firm's informal referral networks were among strategy issues discussed at the firm's summer partnership meeting. The aim is to ensure that its referral relationships match the needs of its new focus on energy, insurance, technology and construction.
Senior partner John Cole said: "What we want to do is build on the network we already have through the Association of European Lawyers and our own networks in the US and elsewhere. What we want to end up doing is working with top lawyers overseas in relation to our chosen target industries."
As yet, there are no plans to set up a more concrete alliance.
Cole said: "The first thing we have to do is talk to existing firms and just make an assessment of the depth of experience they have in the sectors we're talking about."
Other issues discussed included the introduction of new practice groups and practice group leaders to replace the old team structure, and a new self-management culture for partners.
Chief executive David Main said: "Most lawyers love to do the work, but they aren't always good at raising the bill with the client or chasing up the payment.
"We're not going to leave people unmanaged. We're going to require people to be self-managing and not waste other people's time wetnursing them. Either people are capable of doing that and they belong with us, or they are not our sort of people."
Head of business services Bleddyn Rees is the only practice group leader to be appointed so far. "The new practice group leaders won't necessarily be the same people as the old team leaders," said Main.
The firm has suffered a series of partner losses following the 1998 merger to create Morgan Cole. Main said: "There are people who felt they didn't fit or we didn't feel they fitted in. All of that is linked to us putting in place the building blocks for improving profit going forward."
Morgan Cole shakes up management after disappointing year-end figures
The firm's turnover for 2000/ 2001 went up less than 8 per cent to £40m, while average profits per partner lingered around last year's £125,000 mark.

The whooping crane chicks will be flying over Dunnellon/Marion County Airport at some point, but not likely this week.
The whooping crane chicks making their first southern migration from Wisconsin will be flying over Dunnellon/Marion County Airport at some point, but not likely this week.
The birds are being taught to migrate by following ultralight aircraft flown by Operation Migration pilots dressed in whooping crane costumes. The final stop for five chicks will be the Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge in Crystal River, where food is provided for the young birds. In the spring, the cranes migrate north on their own.
According to Liz Condie, Operation Migration chief operating officer, the delay in the Dunnellon flyover occurred because adult cranes from previous migrations have stopped at the refuge. Because the older birds are sometimes aggressive with younger ones, the chicks are being held in Gilchrist County until the older birds move on. No food is provided for the older birds to encourage them to find other locations.
The whooping crane chicks are part of a project by the Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership, a consortium of government and private agencies from Canada and the United States, including Operation Migration, that works to ensure survival of the endangered species.
Ten chicks left Necedah National Wildlife Refuge in Wisconsin on Oct. 10. The flock is split in North Florida and five stay at St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge in the Panhandle while the other five continue on and fly over the Dunnellon Airport before finishing the 1,285-mile trek at Chassahowitzka.
This is the 10th year of the ultralight program.
■ ■ ■
The Direct Autumn Release project that began in 2005 has chicks migrate with adult whooping cranes. The goal of the two programs are to have a total Eastern Migratory flock of 125 birds, including 25 breeding pairs.
"Over the years, approximately 152 birds were released by the ultralight method," Condie said.
About 35 whooping cranes have been released in the DAR program, with about half surviving. A total of 96 birds in the two programs have survived.
In December, three birds from the DAR program were reported dead near Albany, Ga., and the deaths are being investigated as "suspicious." The carcasses have been shipped to the National Fish and Wildlife Forensics Lab in Ashland, Ore., for necropsy.
Some birds are lost to predators, some to illness or environmental factors. Some hit power lines or buildings, and one was shot to death in Indiana last year. That crane was the first female in the program to have successfully raised a chick and taught it to migrate. That baby, called "Wild 1-06," is a female and has taken a mate from the 2003 flock, Condie said. "The last time we had a report on them, they were in Indiana in mid-December."
■ ■ ■
A whole "generation" of 18 birds died at Chassahowitzka when a storm kicked up in February 2007 and they drowned in their pen. One survived, but was killed later by predators. As severe a setback as that loss was, the program continues.
"You don't accomplish anything by giving up," Condie said.
And the efforts seem to be paying dividends.
In 2010 two females were hatched in the wild and have survived.
"Both are in Florida," Condie said.
"Wild 3/10" was born to bird No. 12 from the 2002 flock and bird No. 19 from the 2004 flock. The second baby, "Wild 1/10," was born to bird No. 3 from the 2004 flock and bird No. 9 from the 2003 flock. They, too, migrated with their parents. A third baby was hatched but disappeared on the refuge, Condie said.
