"I love Paris for the million reasons that everybody loves the city. It's an incredibly romantic and beautiful place."
"Moscow had this incredible, intense atmosphere of intrigue and darkness and secrecy."
"Spy novels are traditionally about lone wolves, but how many people actually live like that?"
"When you move a border, suddenly life changes violently. I write about nationality."
"Le Carre's voice – patrician, cold, brilliant and amused – was perfect for the wilderness-of-mirrors undertow of the Cold War, and George Smiley is the all-time harassed bureaucrat of spy fiction."
"'The Levanter' features some of the strongest action scenes to be found in Ambler – who can, in some of his fiction, stay in one place for a whole novel."
"Venice has always fascinated me. Every country in Europe then was run by kings and the Vatican except Venice, which was basically run by councils. I've always wondered why."
"The best Paris I know now is in my head."
"I don't just want my books to be about the '30s and '40s. I want them to read as if they had been written then. I think of them as '40s novels, written in the conservative narrative past."
"I'm basically an Upper West Side Jewish writer."
"You can't make accommodations in crucial situations and be heroic."
"You write a lot of books; you hope you get better."
"I invented the historical spy novel."
"I have a very serious censorship office inside my head; it censors things that I could tell you that you would never forget, and I don't want to be the person to stick that in your brain."
"I don't really write plots. I use history as the engine that drives everything."
"If you can live in Paris, maybe you should."
"My novels are about the European reality, not about chases. You want chases, get somebody else's books."
"I grew up reading genre writers, and to the degree that Eric Ambler and Graham Greene are genre writers, I'm a genre writer."
"I read very little contemporary anything."
"I don't inflict horrors on readers. In my research, I've uncovered truly terrible documentations of cruelty and torture, but I leave that offstage. I always pull back and let the reader imagine the details. We all know to one degree or another the horrors of war."
"I'm not really a mass market writer."
"If you're a writer, you're always working."
"Once you have your characters, they tell you what to write, you don't tell them."
"I write what I call 'novels of consolation' for people who are bright and sophisticated."
"I expect that my readers have been to Europe, I expect them to have some feeling for a foreign language, I expect them to have read books – there are a lot of people like that! That's my audience."
"Whether you like it or not, Paris is the beating heart of Western civilisation. It's where it all began and ended."
"Good people don't spend their time being good. Good people want to spend their time mowing the lawn and playing with the dog. But bad people spend all their time being bad. It is all they think about."
"The idea that someone is going to write me, and I'm not going to answer – I was just raised not to do that. We are the result of our upbringing, and my upbringing was very much to meet obligations… You just didn't let things go."
"It takes me three months of research and nine months of work to produce a book. When I start writing, I do two pages a day; if I'm gonna do 320, that's 160 days."
"My grandmother, whom I adored, and who partly raised me, loved Liberace, and she watched Liberace every afternoon, and when she watched Liberace, she'd get dressed up and put on makeup because I think she thought if she could see Liberace, Liberace could see her."
"I don't work Sunday any more… The Sabbath is a very reasonable idea. Otherwise, you work yourself to death."
"I started out when I was 29 – too young to write novels. I was broke. I was on unemployment insurance. I was supposed to be writing a Ph.D. dissertation, so I had a typewriter and a lot of paper."
"I wrote three mysteries and then a contemporary spy novel that was unbelievably derivative – completely based on 'The Conversation,' the movie with Gene Hackman. Amazingly, the character in the book looks exactly like… Gene Hackman."
"What you get in the Cold War is 'the wilderness of mirrors' where you have to figure out what's good and what's evil. That's good for John le Carre, but not me."
"Anthony Powell taught me to write; he has such brilliant control of the mechanics of the novel."
"I write about the period 1933-42, and I read books written during those years: books by foreign correspondents of the time, histories of the time written contemporaneously or just afterwards, autobiographies and biographies of people who were there, present-day histories of the period, and novels written during those times."
"I was raised on John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee series. Something about this genre – hard-boiled-private-eye-with-heart-of-gold – never failed to take me away from whatever difficulties haunted my daily world to a wonderful land where I was no more than an enthralled spectator."
"When I read period material – and it ain't on Google – I am always alert for that one incredible detail. I'll read a whole book and get three words out of it, but they'll be three really good words."
"In the 1930s, there were so many different conflicts going on between the British, the French, the Russians, the Germans, the Spaniards, the Romanians and so on."
"What I discovered is I don't like to repeat lead characters because one of the most pleasurable things in a book to me is learning about the lead."
"Let me put it this way: I don't plan to retire. What would I do, become a brain surgeon? I mean, a brain surgeon can retire and write novels, but a novelist can't retire and do brain surgery – or at least he better not."
"I just became what I call an 'anti-fascist novelist.' There is no word that covers both the fascists and the Communists, which mean different things to people, but of course they're the same: they're tyranny states."
"You have to have heart's passion to write a novel."
"A book must have moral purpose to be any good. Why, I don't know."
"I am there to entertain. I call my work high escape fiction; it's high, it's good – but it's escape, and I have no delusions about that. I have no ambition to be a serious writer, whatever that means."
"Poland is a wildly dramatic and tragic story. It's just unbelievable what went on with those people. How they survive, I don't really know. The Germans had a particular hatred for the Poles; they really considered them subhuman Slavs, and they were very brutal to them."
"Romantic love, or sex, is the only good thing in a life that is being lived in a dark way."
"If you read the history of the national Socialist party, they're all people who felt like life should have been better to them. They're disappointed, vengeful, angry."
"If I'm a genre writer, I'm at the edge. In the end, they do work like genre fiction. You have a hero, there's a love interest, there's always a chase, there's fighting of some kind. You don't have to do that in a novel. But you do in a genre novel."
"I had a publishing history of murder mysteries."
"I chose a time in the century which had the greatest moments for novels – the late '30s and World War II."
"I basically wrote five books with 'Night Soldiers,' called them novellas, and came in with a 600-page manuscript."
"I'd never been in a police state. I didn't know what it was. I knew that it was, in the general way that people know that two and two is four, but it had no emotional value for me until I found myself in the middle of it."
"My theory is that sometimes writers write books because they want to read them, and they aren't there to be read. And I think that was true of me."
"I would have loved to have another 10 Eric Ambler books."
"I've never lived in Eastern Europe, although both my wife and I have ancestors in Poland and Russia – but I can see the scenes I create."
"Yes, I'm a reasonably good self-taught historian of the 1930s and '40s. I've never wanted to write about another time or place. I wouldn't know what to say about contemporary society."
"I started writing in my 20s. I just wanted to write, but I didn't have anything to write about, so in the beginning, I wrote entertainments – mainly murder mysteries."
"For me, Anthony Powell is a religion. I read 'A Dance to the Music of Time' every few years."
"I think I honestly invented my own genre, the historical spy novel."
"I was going to be the best failed novelist in Paris. That was certainly not the worst thing in the world that one could be."
"I've evolved in my writing to tell a more emotional story – my publisher, Random House, has urged that."
"People know accuracy when they read it; they can feel it."
"The 1930s was a funny time. People knew they might not live for another six months, so if they were attracted to one another, there was no time to dawdle."
"For something that's supposed to be secret, there is a lot of intelligence history. Every time I read one book, two more are published."
"I could not spend the rest of my life sitting in Brazil writing down who called whom uncle and aunt."
"I am a historian. I do a lot of research, and I try to get it right."
"You could be a victim, you could be a hero, you could be a villain, or you could be a fugitive. But you could not just stand by. If you were in Europe between 1933 and 1945, you had to be something."
"My father died when I was young, and my mother, Ruth, went to work in an office selling theater and movie parties. She put me through private school, Horace Mann, in Riverdale. She sent me to camp so that I would learn to compete. She was a lioness, and I was her cub."
"I wrote out little mysteries in longhand, and my mother typed them out on an old Remington."
"I never got any training in how to write novels as an English major at Oberlin, but I got some great training for writing novels from anthropology and from Margaret Mead."
"Women take great care of themselves in France. It's a culture dedicated to making women beautiful and to manners."
"French women will always look up at a man, even if he is four inches shorter than she is."
"We're the roughest people in the way we play and live, and that is because Americans come from people who all got up one morning and went 5,000 miles, and that was a time in the 19th century when it wasn't so easy to do."
"I read very little contemporary anything… I don't think I read what other people read, but then why would I, considering what I do?"
"I love the gray areas, but I like the gray areas as considered by bright, educated, courageous people."
"I figured I would always be a candidate for man of the year in the virtue-is-its-own-reward category. What that did was force me to concentrate on the work."
"I had the experience of a monk copying documents, applying myself assiduously to my work. And I thought whatever happened, happened – this is just what I do in my life."
"Seattle's support system got me through those early, difficult years. It was a very funky, very friendly, very relaxed place that had it all for a writer."
"I love the combination of the words 'spies' and 'Balkans.' It's like meat and potatoes."
"The only way you can handle big kinds of questions is to simply state briefly what the truth was. What am I going to tell you about the Holocaust? Would you like three pages about it? I don't think you would… I don't think anything different than you think – it was horrible."
"Graham Greene's work must be included in any survey of top-rank spy novels, and 'Our Man in Havana' may be his best."
"Fast-paced from start to finish, 'The Honourable Schoolboy' is fired by le Carre's conviction regarding evil done and its consequences."
"I look for the dark story, where something secret was done. I read and read and pick up the trail of a true story. I use nothing but true stories. They are so much better than phony ones."
"I knew I was a writer; I wanted to be a writer, but I didn't know what to write."
"The brutalization of humans by other humans never fails to get to me in some angry-making way. It shot up in me like an explosion."
"I like to say I sit alone in my room, and I fight the language. I am wildly obsessive. I can't let something go if I think it's wrong."
"I've always liked lost, old New York."
"I never wanted to be a Cold War novelist."
"For John le Carre, it was always who's betraying who: the hall-of-mirrors kind of thing. When you go back to the '30s, it's a case of good vs. evil, and no kidding. When I have a hero who believes France and Britain are on the right side, a reader is not going to question that."
"Struggling writers are often advised to pick a simple genre, but it doesn't work that way."
"Robert Ludlum, all of them, write the absolute best they can. You can't tone it down. You just do what you do, and if it comes out literary, so be it."
"The way I work: I pick a country. I learn the political history – I mean I really learn it; I read until it sinks in. Once I read the political history, I can project and find the clandestine history. And then I people it with the characters."
"I spend my life writing fiction, so reading fiction isn't much of an escape. That's not always true, but I don't read much contemporary fiction."
"When I get asked about novelists I like, they tend to be white, male, and British, like Graham Greene. They write the kind of declarative sentences I like. I don't like to be deflected by acrobatics."
"When I went to prep school in New York City, I had to ride the subway and learned how to do homework on the train. I can work and read through anything."

Legend has it that when asked by a journalist why he robbed banks, prolific bank robber Willie Sutton gave the famous reply, "because that's where the money is". Then when asked why he used a gun, he reportedly said, "because charm and personality are not enough to get them to hand over the money".
If he was alive today, Willie Sutton would probably be working for a bank robbing customers rather than trying to rob banks. So today's interview might go something like this. Journalist, "Willie, why do you work at HSBC (Barclays, Lloyds)?" Answer from Mr Sutton, "because that's where the money is". Journalist, "Willie' why don't you use a gun when robbing customers?" Answer from today's Willie Sutton, "because customers know so little about savings and investments that I can get huge bonuses by robbing them blind selling them all sorts of garbage and junk. But best of all," Willie Sutton laughs, "customers are so gullible that they don't even realise they're being robbed. Ha, ha, ha."
So if you have a financial adviser or relationship manager or someone of that ilk at your high street bank, they're probably just a kind of modern-day Willie Sutton, robbing you blind to inflate their bonuses and advance their lousy careers.
My thanks to David Lumsley at HSBC for helping me understand this.

Abstract: In this study, several variables related to the thickness of the retinal layer were measured via optical coherence tomography (OCT), and the clinical applicability of such measurements was evaluated to differentiate between diabetic cystoid macular edema (DCME) and postoperative cystoid macular edema (PCME). To this end, a total of 120 subjects (30 healthy individuals, 60 DCME patients, and 30 PCME patients) were selected as the experimental subjects. The six risk factors included the thicknesses for the total retina (TR), the inner retina (IR), the photoreceptor outer segments (POS), the outer retina (OR), the ganglion cell (GC), and the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), and these were estimated by using a hierarchical approach through observations from OCT image scans. All of the risk factors were obtained from the OCT images captured within a 6-mm diameter from the center of the macula. The results of the experiment indicated that the proposed method can reliably differentiate between DCME and PCME. Moreover, as DCME and PCME progressed, the most significant deterioration was found in the central macular region. These results suggest that the proposed method has clinical applicability for the diagnosis of DCME and PCME from OCT images.

The first full, official trailer for Crazy Rich Asians is now available courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures. Jon M. Chu (Now You See Me 2) directed the contemporary romantic comedy based on the acclaimed worldwide bestseller by Kevin Kwan, the film stars Conastance Wu as a New Yorker who accompanies her boyfriend Nick (Henry Golding) to Singapore to attend a wedding. But her first visit to Asia is soon thrown for a loop when she learns that Nick actually hails from an incredibly wealthy family.
This movie looks like a lot of fun, and indeed it's impossible to ignore the fact that what makes Crazy Rich Asians unique is that it's a major studio film made up of an entirely Asian cast. Black Panther showed that eschewing a "White Knight" narrative or neglecting to include a "White Surrogate" with whom white American audiences could connect doesn't mean those audience members won't show up. It's quite the opposite actually, and kudos to Warner Bros. and Chu for putting their weight behind getting Crazy Rich Asians made.
The film features an international cast of stars that includes Gemma Chan, Lisa Lu, and Awkwafina, with Ken Jeong Michelle Yeoh, Sonoya Mizuno, Chris Pang, Jimmy O. Yang, comedian Ronny Chieng, Remi Hii, and Nico Santos. Crazy Rich Asians hit theaters on August 17th.
The creative filmmaking team included director of photography Vanja Cernjul ("Marco Polo"), production designer Nelson Coates ("Fifty Shades Darker"), costume designer Mary Vogt ("Kong: Skull Island") and editor Myron Kerstein ("Going in Style"). The music was composed by Brian Tyler ("Avengers: Age of Ultron").
Check out the full trailer for Crazy Rich Asians below:

Published June 14, 2014 by Food Co-op Initiative
We are delighted to announce that Co-op Market Grocery & Deli in Fairbanks, AK is the winner of this year's Startup of the Year award. Lauded for its leadership, retail excellence, and commitment to building the local economy, Co-op Market beat out twelve other co-ops that opened storefronts since June of 2013.
The Startup the Year award recognizes achievement by a retail grocery cooperative in organizing and opening a successful co-op grocery store. The award–and shiny grocery cart (above)–was presented to Co-op Market's General Manager, Mary Christensen, at the annual Consumer Cooperative Management Association (CCMA) conference in Madison, WI in front of a crowd of 500 cooperative managers, staff, board members, and consultants.
The 6,000 square-foot store opened in March 2013 and was brought to fruition by the grassroots efforts of city residents as part of a broader downtown revitalization strategy. Today Co-op Market has 2,680 member owners, 20 employees, and its sales for 2014 are on track to reaching $2.8 million.
Co-op Market has experienced strong growth, far exceeding sales predictions, despite the many challenges of operating in Alaska. Co-op Market sits in a food desert tract where 46% of low-income residents lack access to a healthy food store within a half-mile. This new store serves a community with a high percentage of Native Alaskan households, and one where the average income is only 54% of the median. The Co-op emphasizes local products, providing a retail outlet for small farmers, ranchers, seafood and other producers in the region to sell to their own community.
As Stuart Reid, FCI Executive Director, presented this year's award, he stated, "Fairbanks' Co-op Market is a role model for how an organized community can work together to create a cooperative business to meet its needs. While more distant than any startup in modern history, it took advantage of the full support that we and the food co-op community have to offer, inspiring fellow Alaskan communities to do the same." There are currently three new food co-op initiatives organizing in the state.
There are currently 113 food co-op in development across the nation, and 70 have opened in the past five years, totaling over $155 million in annual sales, 1,006 new jobs, and 88,000 members. Forty more have stated their intention of opening in the next 18 months.
The past year's store openings include:
- Co-op Market Grocery and Deli (Fairbanks, AK)
- Second Kitchen Co-op (Boulder, CO)
- Near East Side Co-op (Columbus, OH)
- Honey Creek Market (Plain, WI)
- Hometown Harvest (Mitchell, NE)
- All Things Local Co-op (Amherst, NE)
- Waimanalo Market Co-op (Waimanalo, HI)
- Doylestown Food Co-op (Doylestown, PA)
- Purple Porch (South Bend, IN)
- Local First Grocery (Manitou Springs, CO)
- Dubuque Food Co-op (Dubuque, IA)
- Orcas Food Co-op (Eastsound, WA)
The Startup of the Year award is sponsored by CDS Consulting Co-op and coordinated by Food Co-op Initiative.

British Republican History
The word "deprivation" is often heard on the news or in political statements.
We often hear that someone comes from a "deprived background" or that this is a "deprived" area.
"Deprivation" is an ongoing part of the political and economic vocabulary as if we can expect the reality of deprivation to be a permanent feature of our society.
There is no serious attempt to tackle deprivation as something that is inflicted on people. If the main parties discuss the matter it is usually to blame the "deprived" for their condition.
Far from recoiling from the word, politicians use it without any shame or horror. They see no shame that a rich country like Britain should tolerate living with deprivation in the 21st century.
Most of the drudgery and hardship of deprivation, although ever present, does not impact on those of us who are not deprived.
But occasionally it does, as with the widespread Summer riots of 2011. The rioters were mostly people with a grievance about how they thought society treated them
According to a report the following year a participant in the riots said: "those were the best three days of my life".
This begs the obvious question: if these were the best days of your life, what must the rest of your life be like? If we did not know before just how awful a lot of people's lives are in Britain, then the riots certainly told us.
Deprivation for most is a trap. Rioting was a way of seeming to escape that trap just for a few days.
The coalition's response is not to see deprivation as a problem to be addressed, but to use it a means of getting votes. The demonization of the "deprived" and the "underclass" is part of the government's message to the voters that they will be tough on "scroungers".
That is as far as their thinking goes.
The great heroin of all three parties, Margaret Thatcher, famously said: "there is not such thing as society". We cannot remind ourselves of this too often, for it is still fundamental to the thinking of the main parties.
If you do not believe in society, it follows that you do not need to see yourself as having any thing in common with those "deprived" of normal standards of life.
You have no shared identity with them.
The biggest barrier to understanding what deprivation means is to see it not as a situation that traps people, but rather as one that they chose.
This is the standard narrative of the current political classes. It enables a reversal of the vocabulary whereby, instead of being "deprived", people are now "scroungers".
They should get off benefits and get a job.
But what is never put into the equation is the degradation that has occurred in the quality of jobs available to the unskilled or semi-skilled.
A Thatcher policy, which is still very much alive, that has done much to degrade the quality of employment, is that of "contracting out".
Local authorities used to provide a good supply of jobs that provided security, status and stability. Now as much work as possible is bought from outside contractors.
Some of these firms may be well run but many of them serve only the interests of their owners and directors with little regard for stable and meaningful job provision for their employees.
All too many have been found engaged in scandalous or criminal activities
The degradation of lower paid jobs can be represented by the following imaginary, but entirely realistic accounts, of someone in a pub who is telling friends about the job they have just landed.
In the sixties or seventies it might have gone like this: "I have just landed a nice job. There is a good bunch of guys there. Most of them have been there for more than ten years and some since they left school. I've been given a uniform and the company have just ordered some new equipment. The pay is not that great but the security and pensions make up for it. The job means I can marry my girl and go on to have kids".
Today it would go like this: "Having been hassled by the Job Seekers office I have had to take a job with the Fly By Night Cleaning Co. They are not too sure how long the job will last but they expect their current contract to last for at least eighteen months. I can see that things are a bit dodgy as all the equipment is second hand with their logo stuck on it. There is a high turnover of staff and so there is no one to ask if you have a question. Still I make do and no one really checks your work. I'll stick it out until I can find something better".
The other aspect of this is that the second type of job is perfect for immigrants who have no long term interest in the country and for whom short term contracts are fine. And so problems of immigration combine with a degraded work culture in a toxic mix.
The quality of the employment on offer to the low paid is never considered relevant. But it certainly is to those living in deprivation.
A job is not a way out of their situation but may well be a route to something worse.
But as well as addressing the quality of work, we need also to see the problem from the point of view of support we give to those deprived of job opportunities.
For the current political establishment, any money spent on benefits is a pure waste. They cannot see that support for people in difficulties is part of the way out of the problem.
The shear waste of talent and energy that is lost because people are brought up in an environment that deprives them of opportunity is never mentioned as a problem. The economic loss is never counted. Only the burden of state benefits is.
David Sainsbury (once part of the New Labour project but now thoroughly distanced from it) writes in his new book Progressive Capitalism (p60): " ... a fully fledged welfare state ... may be essential for innovation ... because the protection it provides makes workers less fearful of redundancy and as a result increases work flexibility in a dynamic economy."
The consensus sees benefits as an unfortunate but necessary sticking plaster measure that had to be applied to an economic problem.
Lord Sainsbury's view of them as a positive instrument of economy policy is way outside of current thinking. He comes to his conclusion not by abstract theorising but by looking at other more successful economies.
The idea that we could not afford such a policy is all part of the negative attitude that dominates political and economic thinking,
We describe elsewhere how a reformed structure of government finance would pay for investing in the human resource in the way Sainsbury sets out.
But we also need to go further and address citizen's rights
In 2008 the House of Lords House of Commons Joint Committee on Human Rights published a Report entitled "A Bill of Rights for the UK?"
The report says emphatically that rights should include "positive rights", That is, rights to a certain level of wellbeing.
But what did it mean by "positive rights"?
Prior to a century ago, liberty was mostly conceived in terms of "negative liberty". The aims of Bills of Rights was to purely give the individual protection against the possibility of overweening intrusive and interfering power of the state.
It was understood that the state needed to interfere in our lives to some extent but this was to be kept to the minimum.
It remains the view of many today that the protection of human rights by a Bill of Rights should be confined to this concept of negative liberty.
In this, the Parliamentary Joint Committee report of 2008 was going against the grain. Needless to say its recommendations have not been taken up.
Its proposals were however not original. A noted precedent for advocating positive rights was made in 1941, by US President Franklin D. Roosevelt in his "Four Freedoms" speech in his State of the Union address in which he said that we look forward to a world founded upon four essential freedoms. The third one of these was "freedom from want".
By referring to a "freedom from want" Rossevelt was seeing state provision for those in need not as a "benefit" or a "handout" but as a "positive right" or "positive freedom" each citizen should enjoy.
As Roosevelt said "Necessitous men are not free men". Political freedom cannot exist without freedom from want.
In other words, political enfranchisement means very little without economic enfranchisement.
As long as we live with deprivation in our midst we will deny those deprived of what should be basic human rights.
David Sainsbury gave the practical economic case for economic enfranchisement.
We should go further and join with the 2008 Parliamentary Committee put the Human Rights case for it.
The issue of deprivation is as fundamental as that.

Global Value Chains During the Great Trade Collapse: A Bullwhip Effect?
Carlo Altomonte, Filippo Di Mauro, Gianmarco I. P. Ottaviano, Armando Rungi and Vincent Vicard February 2012
Paper No' CEPDP1131:
Full Paper
This paper analyzes the performance of global value chains during the trade collapse. To do so, it exploits a unique transaction-level dataset on French firms containing information on cross-border monthly transactions matched with data on worldwide intra-.rm linkages as defined by property rights (multinational business groups, hierarchies of firms). This newly assembled dataset allows us to distinguish firm-level transactions among two alternative organizational modes of global value chains: internalization of activities (intra- group trade/trade among related parties) or establishment of supply contracts (arm's length trade/trade among unrelated parties). After an overall assessment of the role of global value chains during the trade collapse, we document that intra-group trade in intermediates was characterized by a faster drop followed by a faster recovery than arm's length trade. Amplified fluctuations in terms of trade elasticities by value chains have been referred to as the 'bullwhip effect' and have been attributed to the adjustment of inventories within supply chains. In this paper we first con.rm the existence of such an effect due to trade in inter- mediates, and we underline the role that different organizational modes can play in driving this adjustment.

Why I Reach & Raise: Melissa Hamilton
My name is Melissa Hamilton, and I am excited that this Sunday, I will be on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art for Living Beyond Breast Cancer's Reach & Raise. This is going to be my fourth year participating in this event, my third year as an assistant yoga instructor – and my first year attending as the resource coordinator at LBBC!
I first heard about Reach & Raise (back when it was called Yoga on the Steps) from another yoga friend of mine who brought me a flyer on a visit to the studio where I was teaching. That year a member of my family had cancer, and I wanted to do something to recognize and support her. She had the BRCA gene mutation, and had ovarian cancer that eventually spread everywhere in her body. She has since passed, and in part it is her memory that keeps me coming back to Reach & Raise every year.
But the event has come to be about so much more, and there are so many more people who are part of the reason that I come back every year. This year I am on team Pinkalicious, which one of my work colleagues is captaining, but in the past I've had my own team, the Good Vibe Tribe. I am a yoga instructor, and my studios have always been big supporters of the event. In my early years I was with Collegeville Yoga Bar and Moyo as Team Captain, and my current studio, Samana in Pottstown, has a team with captain/owner Jennifer Fischer. I met one of my dear friends, Alicia, who is also a yoga instructor (in New York!), at the event, and now this is an opportunity for us to come together and spend the day with each other. The day just has such a wonderful sense of togetherness and community.
An important part of the day for me is also the people who are not there. In addition to my relative, I recently lost my best friend Amanda to cancer. When I am lying there on the steps with everyone and the sun is shining down on me, it is like their spirits are there with me. Every year during savasana I end up crying because it is such an emotional and overwhelming day – but in a positive way. Everyone should come and experience it for themselves.
I also think it's really important to support LBBC. My husband is a cancer survivor, and we both believe it is important to support organizations that provide education and support. That is one of the reasons that I'm proud to now work at LBBC! Education is power, and the more knowledge we all have, the better it is!
I am looking forward to another morning on the steps, which will be beautiful no matter what the weather – and I hope to see you all there.

How do you discover new music? Don't sit there and tell me you only like one type of music. You can't just stop at some point in your life and decide you don't want to listen to anything new. One thing I like about Pandora is that I can give it a specific genre or artist, and they'll help me discover other artists that may be similar. I got an email from TJ recently who shared with us his top 5 list of ways to discover new music.
- Find out who your favorite artists consider to be their inspirations. Chances are, you're going to enjoy listening to them, as well. It's easy to go online and find a biography of musicians you like. Those will usually include a list of names of the people who inspired them.
- Listen to a lot of music on the radio, last.fm, or any other service. I can't tell you how many times I've heard a song on the radio that I liked, and wrote it down quickly to find later and purchase for my own collection. I tend to turn the radio to stations I might not normally listen to. That helps me broaden my scope, and allows me to find music I love that I might otherwise never have heard.
- Get out and listen to local musicians. We musicians love all the followers we can get. Getting out and hearing them is always fun, and they love your support!
- Join music-related forums. You'll be exposed to so many different types of music that you may not have even heard of! Read what others are saying. If they're raving about a new artist or song – check it out for yourself!
- Trade music with others. I remember when I used to trade CDs with a good friend of mine. Just that summer alone, I was able to discover a ton of new things that I hadn't heard before. I went from having only about 100 songs in my collection to more than 5000.
This same thing happened to me back in college. I traded CDs with a friend of mine. The name of a particular band was strange, but I gave it a chance. Turns out, I loved their music! By sharing the cassette tape with my friend, it turned me on to a whole new style of music… which turned into sales for the artist.
I want to consume music as I want to consume it. I'd rather "rent" the music, instead of owning it. That's why I subscribe to Rhapsody's service. I can pull up and listen to whatever I want, when I want it.
So my question again is "how do you discover new music"?

I was very lucky this Christmas as I received a lovely gift from Kendal which I put under the tree ready for Christmas day.
Cute card a little box with a ribbon around it.
Oh wow, a wonderful pair of Jean Jensen's shoes for Sasha.
I knew just the dress they were going to go with.
Sasha's Christmas dress goes perfectly with the shoes.
Aren't they wonderful? Thank you very much Kendal for your kindness.
I made a Christmas jumper for James my 68/69 Red head Gregor Shorts
Which I think he looks very smart in.
Although the colours don't match completely with his Christmas trousers, I think being Christmas we can get away with it.
Today I finished a dress I had started before Christmas made with some velvet and silk scraps I had been given.
Of course the problem with black velvet is it shows up every little speck of dust!
I hope everyone had a really lovely Christmas Day.
I will be doing a blog post very soon of the various Secret Santa gifts that people received, so if you haven't yet sent me photos, please do, and also I haven't heard from a few people whether they have received their gifts...I do hope they have.

OIL CITY, La., Dec. 9, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Black Dragon Resource Companies, Inc. ("the Company," "Dragon") (Pink Sheets:BDGR) announced today that Black Dragon oil leases shipped approximately 1800 gross barrels of oil in the month of November, a sharp decrease from the month of October.
This decrease in production was due to key equipment being down for repair, causing several leases to become non producing during the month of November. However, management believes it would have reached its goal if not for this issue.
Dragon further announced that it hopes to close on the purchase of 11 wells in Plain Dealing, LA within the next two weeks. Additionally, the Company has directed its operator to put its Houston lease back into production, which should add 200 barrels a month to gross production figures.
Black Dragon is an oil and gas exploration and production company currently focused on the acquisition of mature, producing and existing domestic oil and gas fields. This focus has eliminated exploration risk, reduced costs of completion, and provided rapid generation of income in a niche market where larger independent and major oil companies are not positioned to compete. Black Dragon intends to re-complete additional shallow producing wells and to expand its focus to include drilling of new wells, some to deeper levels and to purchase additional leases.

RDB's Tobias Praetorius on his new ballet, The Princess and the Pea
Royal Danish Ballet's Tobias Praetorius is an anomaly, a young dancer – he's only 24 – who is already interested in playing character roles. He is also a choreographer and Marina Harss catches up with him about his latest project – a 'Pixiballet' (aimed at children) based on Hans Christian Andersen's The Princess and the Pea…
English National Ballet – Manon – streamed archive recording of 2018 performance
★★★★★ What we are fortunate to be able to witness in these constrained times is an intimate record of otherwise fleeting performances by exceptional artists.
Cathy Marston on The Cellist & Mrs. Robinson – new works for The Royal Ballet & San Francisco Ballet
In the next two months Cathy Marston has premieres at The Royal Ballet (17 February) and San Francisco Ballet (24 March) – Jann Parry talks to Marston about the inspiration and making of two special works…
Bolshoi Ballet – The Bright Stream – London
★★★★★ A wildly surreal comic turn involves a dog riding a bicycle, both cunningly choreographed. He's actually a tractor driver in disguise, disrupting sexual assignations.
Northern Ballet – Victoria (Marston premiere) – Leeds
★★★✰✰ Where the ballet takes off is when there are only two or three major characters on stage and then Marston clearly shows intentions and emotions and the dancing becomes rich and telling, clever and gorgeous.
Cathy Marston on her new work for Northern Ballet, Victoria, the creative process and more…
Marston has been working at Northern Ballet creating Victoria for the company (premiere this month) and we wanted to find out more, also catch up on other commissions and discuss just how she works creatively and manages to juggle it all so effortlessly…
San Francisco Ballet – The Fifth Season, Snowblind, Etudes – San Francisco
★★★✰✰ I was thrilled to see Snowblind returning. It was by far my favorite offering of last year's Unbound Festival because it captivates on every level: potent storytelling, emotive choreography, fitting design tropes and deep character development.
Scottish Ballet – Cinderella – Glasgow
★★★★✰ This is my second review of Scottish Ballet's Cinderella this winter. Why? Well, it's a production I like and I wanted to see more dancers in it, silly!
English National Ballet – Manon – Milton Keynes Theatre
★★★★✰ English National Ballet can once more reflect triumphally on another significant success.
Royal Danish Ballet – The Queen of Spades – Copenhagen
★★★✰✰ The good news is that Queen of Spades is a good-looking crowd pleaser and the RDB dancers look fantastic in it – I can't emphasise that enough. Also good that it's a step up from his last commission, Frankenstein – thank goodness, really.
San Francisco Ballet – The Sleeping Beauty – San Francisco
★★✰✰✰ The efforts of San Francisco Ballet's artists are sadly misplaced in this largely joyless and wholly unsatisfying rendition of The Sleeping Beauty.
Royal Danish Ballet – Raymonda – Copenhagen
★★★✰✰ All up, I think this production demonstrated the strengths and weaknesses of "Raymonda" as a ballet. It certainly is a fabulous looking (and listening) calling card which might tour well…
Royal Ballet School – Annual Main Stage Performance 2017 – London
★★★★✰ It was a well-balanced programme, featuring different kinds of discipline for future corps de ballet dancers, and honouring veteran choreographers as well as contemporary ones.
Royal Danish Ballet – Dangerous Liaisons (premiere) – Copenhagen
★★★★✰ …I was again struck by just how effortlessly a story can be communicated and emotions laid bare by ballet – it was a triumph.
American Ballet Theatre – Giselle – New York
American Ballet Theatre Giselle ★★★★✰ New York, Metropolitan Opera House 26,27 May 2017 www.abt.org Giselle Fever Like Swan Lake, Giselle is a centerpiece of the ballet repertoire; American Ballet Theatre performs it almost…
English National Ballet's Emerging Dancer 2017 Competition – 5 Questions to 4 Finalists
English National Ballet's Emerging Dancer Competition is unique in British ballet in throwing the spotlight on more junior dancers or "tomorrow's stars" as ENB put it. This year's competition is on the 25 May and ahead of the that we talk to 4 of the 6 finalists – Isabelle Brouwers, Rina Kanehara, Madison Keesler and Guilherme Menezes…
Hamburg Ballet – The Little Mermaid – Washington
★★★✰✰ It's a somber and dark story; yet in Neumeier's hands it gets even darker. Don't expect Disney's happily-ever-after – this Little Mermaid is certainly not for children.
American Ballet Theatre – Swan Lake – Washington
★★★★✰ Making her debut in the role of Odette/Odile 28-year-old soloist Devon Teuscher emerged as a shining star in American Ballet Theatre's Swan Lake at the Kennedy Center Opera House last week.
