Our Advent theme is "Joy in the Waiting." Advent booklets are on a table in the narthex with this title. Help yourself to this valuable Advent resource. Each week we are revealing a different area of focus as we find Joy in the Waiting. This week we are focusing on the J…Jesus. Spending time with Jesus is key to preparing our hearts for His coming. In this light, we are making more opportunities for Eucharistic Adoration. We are having Adoration from 9 to 11 a.m. and 6:30 to 9 p.m every Wednesday during Advent. Even spending 5 or 10 minutes […]
We Need Your Input! Join Us on Dec. 10 to Discuss Family Life & Evangelization
Don't miss a great opportunity to share your voice! Pope Francis has called a special synod of Bishops on the topic of Family Life in the context of Evangelization. Before the synod begins, he hopes to hear from Catholics all over the world about their perspective on the Christian Family and what this means for Evangelization in their culture. There are 10 questions that we have been given. All are encouraged to respond to the questions. We invite you to an evening of discussion about these questions on Tuesday, Dec. 10, at 7 p.m. in the community room.
Holy Cross Christmas Basket Service Project
All high school teens and their families are invited to attend the Holy Cross Christmas Basket Service Project on Sunday, Dec. 15. We will assist with putting together 800 bags of food in Holy Cross Church after the 9:15 a.m. Mass for families in need.
Immaculate Conception Not a Holy Day This Year
Dec. 8 would normally be the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Volleyball Evaluations
Final girls' and boys' volleyball evaluations take place Sunday, Dec. 8, for certain grades. The schedule is as follows: Cadet boys, 3-4:30 p.m.; 5/6 girls, 4:30-6 p.m.; Cadet girls, 6-7:30 p.m.
Respond to Questions About Marriage & Family for Bishop Synod
Pope Francis has called for an Extraordinary Synod of Bishops in October 2014 on The Pastoral Challenges of the Family in the Context of Evangelization. A preparatory document has been issued by the Holy See to begin this process, along with a series of questions. You are asked to join in the process by responding to questions about marriage and family in the face of today's challenges.
Our Advent Theme: Joy in the Waiting
Our Advent theme is "Joy in the Waiting." What are we waiting for? Most essentially, we are waiting for Jesus. Each year, we repeat this cycle. Why? Because we need to be reminded to wait. With Joy we anticipate the celebration of Christ's birth, and our Gospel reminds us that we are practicing for something very important.
Collection for Retirement Fund for Religious
Dec. 7/8 is the collection for the Retirement Fund for Religious Sisters and Religious Order Priests. Please share in their care and be as generous as possible.
Launching Our Haiti School Friendship Program–Sign Up Dec. 7/8
Unlike the system of education in the United States, the Haitian government does not mandate education for the nation's children. Government-sponsored social service programs do not exist in Haiti. Haiti is 80 percent Catholic. As a result, the Catholic Church in Haiti serves many roles that are reserved for the government in the United States. Education is a high priority for both children and adults. It is an important step on the path to escape poverty. The sad reality is that many of the children in Haiti are unable to attend school. Some parents are without the resources to send […]

So we have still stuck to our calorie counting journey…and I am amazingly 4 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight 15 weeks after having given birth to SB. I have lost 26 lbs. and my husband has lost 13 lbs.
One of the things I used to crave most were hamburgers and ice cream. The girl at our local Cold Stone once commented, "You guys like to come here a lot." Maybe she didn't notice the gigantic baby bump standing right in front of her. Early on in my pregnancy, I had 5 burgers in one week. This was an early indicator to my husband, that I was pregnant. The burger craving never subsided throughout the 9 months, and now that I'm not pregnant, I'm not so keen on burgers that much. Today, t hough, I thought I'd have one….but make it sensible and low cal.
I decided to use turkey, swiss, mushrooms and avocado with these little thin whole wheat buns that are great.
I hate flavorless burgers, so I seasoned the patties with Mrs. Dash Steak Seasoning and Adobo (yes, that's the Cuban part of me).
My husband grilled the patties for 10 minutes total, flipping them over after 5 mins for each side.
As for the mushrooms, I sauteed them with garlic, a dash of olive oil and a little splash of thickened barrel-aged balsamic with some salt to taste. I sauteed them for 10 minutes while the patties were cooking on the 'que.
The total cals for this were 430 as opposed to oh…say a Carl's Jr. Six Dollar Portobello burger which is 870 calories…and as my husband said afterwards, "Wow, this was actually filling, but it doesn't make you feel like crap."
So there you have it.

Bill Long 5/27/05
After the nearly unbridled excitement of pages 320-340, we can settle down in these ten pages and move quickly. Yet there are some terms, like deuteranopia, dharna, diesis and others that are not in regular speech but ought to be known.
Deuteranopia and Other Words
Literally derived from three Greek words meaning "blindness with respect to the second," deuteranopia was one of three terms coined by J. von Kries at the end of the 19th century to describe blindness to one (deuteranopia referred to blindness with respect to green) or more of the three primary colors: red, green, and blue. Hence, someone who suffered from protanopia could not distinguish red and related colors; a deuteranope [the OED knows this word but does not list deuteranopia as a separate entry] is unable to discern green and tritanopia is a very rare condition of blindness with respect to the color blue. The Collegiate only has deuteranopia--for what reason I know not.
Deutzia is named after Jean Deutz, a patron of botanical research (never knew that there were patrons for this kind of work), to describe a genus of the saxifrage framily of shrubs. I need to learn this because in the 2004 Oregon Bee I slipped up on paulownia--a genus of Chinese trees named after a person. A deverbative is a word formed on or derived from a verb. Deverbative only emerged in the early part of the 20th century, not certainly when the phenomenon arose but probably because the field of linguistics was just stretching its muscles and needed vocabulary for its work. A devoir is a duty and dewar is glass named after James Dewar. A dewlap is loose flesh on animal or human throat.
Dharna and Others
The "Dh" words all come from India (I WISH I knew Sanskrit), and dharna is a fast held at the door of an offender in India as an appeal for justice. I suppose it is like the hunger strike in the West, but more specifically in India it was a mode of extorting payment or compliance with a demand. The person sitting would remain at the door until the demand was complied with. This activity is known as "sitting in dharna" and the person in the house was said to be "put in dharna." The earliest Western writer on the idea (1793) says that the concept of dharna may be translated "Caption or Arrest." It is thus like a "house arrest" until the demand of the dharna-sitter is met.
A dhole is a wild dog, and a dhoti is a loincloth. I decided to look up the latter word in the Century, and discovered that it could be spelled four ways, none of which was dhoti! (dhotee, dhoty, dhotie, dotie). The Collegiate neither gives any impression that it could be spelled multiple ways nor does it tell us why its spelling is superior to or preferred over any of the other spellings. Sometimes you think you are getting into a spelling bee in order, finally, to pursue "objective" knowledge. You find, quite to the contrary, that many, many words have more than one spelling today and when you look at it over history, most words have been subject to multiple spellings.
Quickly now, a dhurrie is an Indian cloth or rug, diablerie is sorcery and a diadromous fish is migratory between fresh and salt waters. Why the Collegiate has diallel I probably will never understand. The OED has it, but only has one attested use of it--in the 17th century. Here is the sentence: "As parallels are lines running one by the other without meeting, so Diallels are lines which run one through the other, that is, do cross, intersecate, or cut." The most interesting thing to me about that definition is the word intersecate. Surprisingly, the OED doesn't attest intersecate, though it does have two uses of intersecation.
A Quick Spin through the "Dia's"
So we have diapedesis, which is blood seepage through capillary walls, and diaphoresis, a big word for perspiration, usually induced by artificial means. The Century gives a synonymn for the adjective diaphoretic--sudorific, while the OED does not know diaphoretic though it has a separate entry for sudorific, which it defines as "diaphoretic." A sudorous garment is a sweaty one--but it sounds much more pleasant, doesn't it? Diapir has to do with a mobile core of rock that breaks through brittle overlying rocks, but I don't have any picture of this in my mind at all. A diathesis is a constitutional predisposition or tendency toward diseases. When I grew up in CA we had a swimming pool that had to be treated occasionally with diatomaceous earth. Dichlorvos is an insecticide while a dickcissel is a finch. A diel (DI al) is a 24-hour period.
Let's finish with a mention of diesis. I wanted to do this because the Century definition emphasizes different things than the Collegiate. The Century mentions its connection with Pythagorean music, stressing the difference between a fourth and two major tones, represented by the ration 256:243. But the Collegiate, though aware that there might be a musical meaning in its history, focuses on the definition "double-dagger." A double-dagger is a reference note, a marker for a footnote in books printed before the numbering system entered into common use about 100 years ago. Chuch Zerby has given us an interesting history of the footnote (The Devil's Details: A History of the Footnote, Dec. 2001), but I only want to remark that the "pre-number" footnote convention widely shared had the first footnote on a page be denoted by an asterisk, the second by a dagger, and the third by the double-dagger or diesis. And, once I get into the technical names of diacritical marks, I have to go out with a bang, or interrobang, at least--which is the combination explanation point and question mark, invented in 1962 and still not recognized in the OED, though it is in the Collegiate.

Police begin 'Click it or Ticket' effort
Henrico student recognized for poster design
Local and state police gathered May 24 at Richmond International Raceway to promote their participation in the national 'Click It or Ticket' program and recognize a Henrico student for her poster, which will be used to promote the program locally. Dumbarton Elementary School fifth-grader Valeriz Castellar received a $100 check and special certificate for her winning 'Click It Or Ticket' poster design from Henrico County police Chief Doug Middleton and Sgt. Jim Livingstone from the Fraternal Order of Police No. 4 during the kick-off event at Richmond International Raceway. "I love art a lot, I do," Castellar said. "Thinking about doing something that I really like and getting money for what I love is neat." The contest was open to all fifth-grade students in Henrico County School District, said Lt. A.J. Gordon of the Henrico police. Art teachers from each school picked a winner, and Middleton and his staff chose Castellar's poster from the seven winning posters. "We figure the children are the future, and we can get them to promote seatbelt and child restraint safety among themselves and their families," Gordon said. Click It or Ticket promotes seat belt and child safety seat use. Henrico Police were joined by officers from Police, James City Police, Virginia State Police, New Kent Sheriff's Office, York-Poquoson Sheriff's Office and Chesterfield Police to promote national Click It Or Ticket Mobilization May 21 – June 3 and the Memorial Day weekend Route 60 Blitz May 25. As part of the mobilization and blitz there will be an increased presence of officers from all jurisdictions along Route 60. The blitz began in 2006 on the suggestion of Lt. Lee Bailey of the New Kent County Sheriff's Office, according to Gordon. During 2011 Memorial Day weekend, 10 people died on Virginia roadways, Gordon said. Of those, two were children and three adults who were not restrained. In all there was a total of 764 traffic related deaths in Virginia last year, and of those 306 were unrestrained. "If they'd have been wearing their seat belts they probably would have survived," Gordon said. A survey conducted in Henrico prior to the Click It or Ticket campaign showed that 79 percent of drivers in Henrico had been wearing seat belts, Gordon said, adding that officials hope to increase that percentage to 82 or 83 through enforcement and education efforts. The 2011 state usage rate was 81 percent, said Mary Ann Rayment of the Department of Motor Vehicles Virginia Office of Motor Safety. State officials would like to improve that to 82.5 percent, she said, but reaching that number will require the effort of all Virginians. "We hope it won't take a traffic stop to get you to buckle up," she said. "But we are here to help get you to your destinations in one piece." |

Magic, on ice
Disney's Frozen shines as an instant classic
Disney has spent the past few years in search of that certain something; that 'Disney Magic.' It's been a slow process. From The Princess and the Frog to Tangled to Wreck-it Ralph, the studio took slow steps, welcoming its princesses and fairy tales and musical numbers back into the fold. Every film was an improvement on the last, but none of them had anywhere near the charm or lasting appeal of the early '90s highs of the "Disney Renaissance."
Frozen, by far, is the House of Mouse's best attempt at a new Little Mermaid. > Read more.

. A group of local women who had already appealed to the local council, mayor, and the Premier of New South Wales, approached the BLF for help. The BLF asked the women to call a public meeting, which was attended by 600 residents, and formally asked the BLF to prevent construction on the site. The developer, A V Jennings, announced that they would use non-union labour as strike-breakers. In response, BLF members on other A V Jennings construction projects stopped work. A V Jennings eventually abandoned all plans to develop Kelly's Bush.
The BLF was involved in many more green bans. Not only did the BLF represent all unionised builders' labourers in the construction industry; but the BLF also influenced the opinion of other unionised construction workers, and acted as a political leadership of the construction unions in the era. Forty-two bans were imposed between 1971 and 1974. Green bans helped to protect historic nineteenth century buildings in

, then convinced another union, the Water Board Employees Union, to impose a ban which was continued for some time. Nielsen was then kidnapped and murdered in 1975. The struggle ended with a stand-off in 1977. The developer had been forced to alter his plans, but the residents had been forced out.
Although green bans have been implemented on a number of occasions since the 1970s, they have not been so prevalent, nor so comprehensive in their effect. One estimate of the effect of the BLF's green bans puts the amount of development prevented at A$3 billion between 1971 and 1974 (approximately A$18 billion ).
Outcomes & Impacts
In February 1973, Jack Mundey coined the term 'Green Ban' in order to distinguish between the traditional union 'Black Bans'. Mundey argued that the term 'Green Ban' was more appropriate as they were in defence of the environment. Green Bans saved many vital urban spaces and over 100 buildings were considered by the National Trust to be worthy of preservation.
Another example of a Green Ban in Sydney was the proposed North-Western Expressway that was planned by the Department of Main Roads in the early 1970s. The expressway would have cut through the working class residential areas of Ultimo, Glebe, Annandale, Rozelle and Leichhardt. In July 1972, the Save Lyndhurst Committee requested a Green Ban from the Builders Labourers' Federation to prevent the destruction of historic Lyndhurst (built 1833-1835) in Darghan Street, Glebe. Many battles with police took place, including a confrontation between police and squatters on 18 August 1972. The Federal Labor Whitlam Government purchased the Glebe estate in 1973 from the Uniting Church to preserve the area. In 1978, the Wran-Labor Government decided to abandon much of the inner-urban expressway link and the 19th century character of Glebe remains intact.
Local Legacies : New South Wales
Green Ban influenced local NSW planning structures as well as national planning systems. "The Green ban movement in Sydney and Melbourne of the early 1970s, led by the Builder Labourers Federation, was the most profound external indication of the need for planning reform'. In 1977 an editorial from the Australian quoted "bans were an inevitable result of official attitudes which regarded people as irrelevant factors to development". He also indicated that the decision making process then was devoid of appropriate involvement by relevant communities and individuals.
During the movement infamous redevelopment projects were discarded or scale down, and the planning reform finally began. The previously confined approach to land use planning, due to a "paradigm meltdown", started to incorporate concerns from community. On one hand, new historical buildings legislations were founded in the 1970s across several states, and on the other the ground legislation of the current planning system emerged.
National Reforms : Australia
The green bans in the 1970s initiated a democratic National and State planning systems in which heritage as well as environmentally significant sites became a part of a development proposal. 'In 1997 the Director of the Urban Research Unit of the Australian National University, stated that the Green Bans of the New South Wales Builders Labourers' Federation (NSW BLF) had a "subtle influence" in transforming the culture of urban planning in ways that now evince greater sensitivity to environmental concerns, better appreciation of heritage, the need to publicise proposed developments well in advance and to seek approval from the people affected'. Similar union bans were started in other cities in Australia including Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra and Hobart however to a lesser level than Sydney. The Green Ban movement became a powerful tool of influencing city developments by involving the wider community to sign petitions in order to prevent destruction of a heritage or environmentally significant sites.
Ultimately, the Green Bans led to the Wran government introducing two acts, Firstly the Heritage legislation- The Heritage Act 1977 and secondly Environmental Planning and Assessment Act (EP&A) 1979.
International : Influences
Although green bans were conducted for only 3 to 4 years in Australia, they influenced international politics significantly because this movement is considered to have contributed to the integration of the word "green" into the world's political idioms.

, who came to Australia around the middle of 1970s, witnessed green bans opposing undesirable development in Sydney by the cooperation between the BLF and local citizens. She was very impressed with this movement, the connection accomplished between environmentalists and the BLF, and the success they made in many campaigns. It is also known that she often stated that green bans had a great impact on both herself and her philosophy. Subsequently, she brought back the idea of green bans as well as the terminology "green" to Germany, and established the German Green Party in 1979. This is regarded as the point at which the word "green" was first applied to politics in Europe. Petra Kelly acknowledged that Australian green bans broadened the possibilities of the environmental movement as well as gave it a new dimension, and they made it possible to involve a much broader range of the population in environmental groups and ecological actions. Therefore, green bans in Australia were significant events not only locally and nationally but also internationally.

Though varied and fun, HAL's onboard activities tend to be low-key. You can take ballroom dance lessons; take an informal class in photography; play bingo or bridge; sit in on a trivia game or Pictionary tournament; participate in Ping-Pong, golf-putting, basketball free-throw, or volleyball tournaments; take a gaming lesson in the casino or an aerobics class at the gym; take a self-guided iPod tour of the ship's art collection or a backstage theater tour; go high-toned at a wine tasting; or go low-toned at the goofy games poolside or in a lounge. During the Seaquest game on a 14-night cruise, we watched as a group of mostly senior passengers enthusiastically slipped off their bras and dropped their drawers in the name of friendly competition -- the team that deposited more undergarments on the show lounge stage won. The place was a sea of geriatric goofballs tottering around in their boxers and briefs, crumbled trousers in hand. Some cruises also feature model shipbuilding contests in which you can use only junk you find around the ship, with seaworthiness tested in one of the ship's hot tubs.
Each ship has a great Explorations Café, which is a combo Internet center, coffee bar, and library. Comfy lounge chairs come equipped with music stations and headphones. Generous shelves of books (Holland American has the most extensive libraries after Cunard), DVDs, and games line the walls, and a magazine stand holds current issues of popular magazines, plus the latest editions of various newspapers, when the ship can get them. If you're a crossword buff, you can tackle the New York Times crossword puzzles embedded under glass in the room's cafe tables (wax pencils are provided). Explorations also functions as the Internet cafe, but passengers toting their Wi-Fi-enabled laptops can take advantage of wireless hot spots here and throughout the ship. The ships' Culinary Arts Centers give free cooking demos and more intimate, hands-on cooking classes (available for a charge). The center is also used for other demos, such as flower arranging. Cooking demos usually happen twice per 7-day cruise; go early to get a front-row seat, or sit in the back and watch the food preparation on the flat-panel TVs around the room.
On 7-night Alaska cruises, Native artists demonstrate traditional arts such as ivory and soapstone carving, basket weaving, and mask making as part of the line's Artists in Residence Program, created under the auspices of Anchorage's Alaska Native Heritage Center. For another program during visits to Glacier Bay, a member of the Huna tribe comes aboard to talk about the land the Huna have called home for centuries. In Hawaii and Mexico, cultural dancers perform for passengers.

Question: From New York, New York, USA:
My son, age 13, has just had a physical at our doctor's office and a trace of ketones was found in his urine sample. What does this mean?
If your son is not a diabetic and had trace ketones in his urine, I wouldn't worry. Most of the time this can be due to being a little dehydrated and corrects with simply drinking more water. If he is a diabetic, this likely is an early warning that he could get sick from his diabetes with DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis).
The presence of ketones in the urine of a child that does not have diabetes does not place that child at risk of diabetes unless there is sugar in the urine also.

April 29, 1944. Sgt. John Bonnassiolle -- "Jack" to his friends -- was a gunner aboard a B-24, flying only his third combat mission, when his bomber was shot down. All ten crew members were killed. The wreckage and the crew's bodies remained lost.
Paulette Gooch was only seven years old when her brother, Jack, died. Since that day, she's often wondered what became of her brother. She says it haunted her, not knowing what happened, not knowing that Jack had finally been laid to rest.
"I thought about all the years my brother and I could have shared and the family he might have had," she said.
But the ghost that has haunted Paulette Gooch for 60 years this month may soon come home to rest for all eternity.
Four years ago, after decades of worry, she finally decided to do something to find her brother and his lost crewmates. "I really wasn't very hopeful about it," she said.
Her mother wasn't much help. Even though still alive at 101, she hasn't been able -- or willing -- to provide Paulette with much information. It just hurt too much.
So Paulette turned to her computer. She soon found that her brother's name had been inscribed on a war memorial in the Netherlands. Then she went to a B-24 site and asked for help.
Boy, did she get it.
First, she found other flyers who had witnessed her brother's aircraft go down. Then she found the Missing Allied Air Crew Research Team, a European group that searches for clues about missing Allied airmen. Just a few days before hearing from Paulette, the group had ironically started its own search for Bonnassiolle's missing bomber. They found a possible site for excavation, a dig they hoped would yield the bodies of the missing Americans. For an entire summer, the non-profit research team dug in a farm plot until they found a wadded up piece of cloth.
It was John Bonnassiolle's uniform name tag.
Since then, the US Army has taken over the crash site. More information about the aircraft as well as human remains have been found. The remains are being DNA-tested for identification. Paulette hopes that her brother's bones might be quickly identified so she can share her growing peace of mind with her mother before she dies.

The new Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre (OCEC) in Muscat is set to become a major attraction for the meetings industry when it opens from 2014 in two phases. Being developed by Omran, the company established by the Government of Oman to deliver major projects and manage its assets in the tourism sector, the centre will be managed by AEG Ogden, one of the world's leading convention and exhibition management companies that is also responsible for the Qatar National Convention Centre.
The super-size facility — being built to rigorous LEED Certification by the US Green Building Council — will feature an elaborate tiered auditorium to seat 3,200 while the exhibition halls will feature 22,000 square metres of column-free exhibition space. Halls 1 and 2 will serve as a multi-purpose space for plenary sessions, concerts, performances and gala events on a larger scale of up to 10,000 seated in theatre-style.
There are more than 200 convention and exhibition centres competing on the world stage for a slice of the business events pie but research already undertaken has identified international conventions with the potential to be held in Oman as far ahead as 2024, according to AEG Ogden.
More than a convention and exhibition centre, OCEC is part of a wider mixed-use development that is set in a scenic location overlooking a Wadi and will consist of a five-star hotel, two four-star hotels, a three-star hotel and serviced apartments (providing 1,000 rooms in total) and even a shopping centre.
In an interview with meetme, CEO of Omran, Eng. Wael bin Ahmed Al Lawati elaborated on the vision behind the OCEC and Oman's wider plan of development.
"We are about to announce two major international hotel management groups that will operate the two hotels," explained Al Lawati. "It's about trying to team up with all the right people, with the right brands, that makes it a compelling case. We can go out and say, 'It's a mixed use development, there's a mall, a business park, fantastic infrastructure, you are four kilometres away from the airport and road connections are excellent. And it is in Oman so it's a bit different, your meeting will be in a green building so don't feel guilty, and you are an hour away from everything else. Muscat Hills is next door to us, the golf course, The Wave's Greg Norman course has just opened across the road. There is just so much happening for the place."
With such a large-scale project being undertaken in an area of natural beauty, there are predictable concerns regarding preservation and sustainability. However, Al Lawati is keen to allay any fears.
"If you look at the convention centre and the way it is being developed – in terms of the green building, architecture, social impact, maximizing local expenditure, looking at job creation for more than 6,000 Omanis, training and scholarships. Everything has been done in such a way that we maximize local benefits as opposed to saying 'Just get us the building in half the time'.
"That's not the focus. Yes, we need it because the quicker you have it, the quicker you create the jobs and other benefits, but it is being developed with that in mind. So it's not just what we develop, it's how we develop. That's very important for us.
The development of Oman as a whole also has an eye to sustainability and unlike many countries, Al Lawati explains that this has been a factor from the very beginning of its development.
"The vision of HH The Sultan of Oman has ensured that the development of the country has taken place in a sustainable type of way, which is quite interesting. When I look at the rest of the Gulf destinations, Oman really stands apart. Our infrastructure hasn't been built as fast as the other places but it has much more natural history, heritage and attractions.
"Our key selling point is the fact that we have the culture, heritage and many historic buildings. So we need to preserve these sites of interest and develop the tourism proposition around them.
"I think now people are starting to understand what we had in mind all along. So when the Sultan enforced strict architectural guidelines, decided against high-rise buildings and enforced Islamic architecture, when he established the first ministry of environment in the region in 1980, a lot of people were asking what it was for. Now they see what those aims and intentions were.
It is very difficult to develop very quickly and maintain your environment, because again there will be corners cut, there will be certain pressures. So it's something that we don't only talk about, there are policies and procedures in the country and the thinking is so well established in the government that even if individuals wanted to change that they couldn't.
Looking ahead to the future, we asked Al Lawati where he expected business for OCEC to come from.
"I'll be very honest, we have projections and we have all sorts of studies that we've commissioned from consultants that are telling us different things. I think time will tell whether assumptions for a small local industry, or more regional or international business is the way forward. Or whether business will be more conference or exhibition focused. It's very difficult to project until we start bidding for events, going out and understanding the feedback, and understanding our ability to host these events before we can say really our markets are going to be there.
"Talking to our neighboring countries, their markets keep changing. Egypt shuts down for business and you suddenly getting business that you wouldn't normally get. "Suddenly South America is interesting. Big associations are looking at coming to the region and a few ask, 'What's happening with all the unrest? Maybe we'll pass for the next few years'. So it's too dynamic really. We have assumptions, but only time will tell."
But it is full steam ahead in the development of the centre and planning the phased introduction of a management and full team structure.
"We have a dedicated project management team within Oman that's taking on the technical aspects of the development, which is the design and the construction and the supervision. We are doing it all in-house, with a fantastic team that is part local, part international delivering the project.
"For the actual management of the centre, we teamed up with AEG Ogden. Basically, we said look, we need to leapfrog. We can't just be waiting here, building up local skills in terms of hosting, bidding, and so on. We're up against some stiff competition in the region and we need to raise the flag of Oman and say 'Look! We're here as well!' So we're very excited to be working with them, with their experience, and their ability to start with a new destination and really bring it up to be incredible."
There is also a lot of potential for Oman to be combined with other Gulf destinations and something that keeps recurring is the issue of visas. We asked Al Lawati for his view.
"They've been talking about it for a while and I think at last check we offer over 70 countries visa on arrival in Oman. So, even if it was a combined with a regional country, it's enough nationalities that we can get at Seeb Airport in Muscat. It's not as big a problem as it used to be, and it's quite fast for nationalities that don't get visa on arrival.
"Our concern is more about airlift and ensuring that airlines go to all the big destinations and make it easy to come to Oman. Because one of the biggest criticisms here in previous years is 'Look it's very difficult to get to Oman, we love it, but we have to change flights from Doha, or Dubai, or Bahrain etc, and it's a three hour change and so on.' It gets to a point where people think 'I'll just stay in Dubai' for example. Airlift is being improved by Oman Air now, and it has made a huge difference for groups coming in from abroad.
"I don't see visas being a big issue at the moment as it used to be. Obviously there are always new nationalities that want to come in, and we are talking to the government about saying if we are going to be hosting international events we need to be flexible. You can't have a doctor from some country that can't have an arrangement; he's stuck in the airport for hours or whatever. It's a new type of business that requires different ways of dealing with it, it's not a tour operator who understands what type of businesses you are looking for. But, with Dubai there has been all sorts of arrangements and none of them have really been seamless enough. I don't think any destination in the region can claim victory on that front yet."
Now that AEG Ogden has been appointed to manage the centre with a fully fledged office to be operational by mid-2012, the business pulse is already being tested.
"We are testing the waters to see who will be interested, what sort of association sizes we can attract and so on. We obviously have a challenge of going out to people and saying 'Believe me it will open', its slightly different to saying. 'Do you want to come over and see an event? So there is a bit of a leap of faith in terms of associations coming forward. But hopefully there is enough technical data to give them a warm feeling of 'I think it will happen, I see enough'. And the money is there, high oil prices help!"

How-To Make a 1920s Inspired Feathered Hat
I've always wished I could peek right into the 1920s, an era whose style can be very captivating. Flappers and Prohibition and the music and dancing… Family photos and stories passed down from that time are filled with interesting nuggets too. The Roaring 20s saw very important progress for women. I suppose if I was handed a time machine and offered a visit back, I'd probably start there.
Hats were all the rage then, especially ones adorned with feathers and jewelry. So we decided, my Little One and I, to see if we could make a rather quick hat, topped with a few feathers and a lot of simple glamour. And so we did.
We used:
- some pretty blue cotton fabric
- a paper pattern
- thread, scissors
- some wool for light stuffing
- peacock feathers
- pipe cleaners (our favorites are the lead-free, stainless steel ones)
- a flexible, plastic, fabric-covered headband
First we made a paper pattern in an oblong, rounded shape, and used it to trace around on the wrong side of the fabric (fabric which had been folded over with both "good" sides facing each other so that when we cut we would be cutting out both pieces together).
It's best to leave yourself plenty of seam allowance when you cut, and also not to cut all the way around, which will ensure that both pieces stay lined up together.
Then we sewed nearly all the way around the piece on the machine. We left one end open – as we would need that for turning it inside out, putting in the pipe cleaners and fashioning the hat.
Next we turned the blue sewn piece inside out, and got our pipe cleaners ready.
Then we twisted pipe cleaners together to create a pipe cleaner shape that matched the oustide edge of the sewn blue hat piece. You may need to cut a pipe cleaner in half to get the right size.
Then we slid the pipe cleaners inside the hat piece, through the open end. We made a sort of sandwich, with the pipe cleaner oval tucked right at the edge of the blue hat piece, inside.
Next we secured the pipe cleaners where we wanted them – right at the edge. Using a long needle and some matching thread, we sewed carefully around the inside so that the pipe cleaners would stay put. The pipe cleaner edge allows you to shape the hat piece.
Next we finished the open edge by shaping the pipe cleaners and then tucking in the raw edges of the fabric to make a clean seam we sewed by hand. But before we did, we added some carded wool to add depth and shape to the hat.
Once we shaped the hat piece the way we wanted it, we placed it off center on a plastic, fabric-covered head band, and sewed it on from underneath.
Next we took out our peacock feathers, and chose a few to sit on the hat.
We sewed those carefully onto the hat, focussing on the hard quill sections.
And there you have it, a fabulous, feathered, vintage-inspired hat. A wonderful dress-up prop for pretend play. And for a child like mine who has a keen interest in history and historical fashion? A very quick craft they can help in! Happy hat-ting.
