beerbum05Alberta (Canada) 4.7/5 rDev +22.4% look: 4.5 | smell: 5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 5 Appearance - Orange/light brown colour, hazy, low carbonation, thick head Smell - Sweet, spicy, nutmeg, pumpkin pie Taste - Sweet, malty, pumpkin pie Overall I think this is a great beer one of my favourites. It looked, smelled and tasted exactly like I hoped it would. I was very pleased with this beer and would highly recommend it. Serving type: bottle 03-17-2010 14:21:10 | More by beerbum05 ScrylolAlberta (Canada) 4.64/5 rDev +20.8% look: 4 | smell: 5 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5 Pours a nice dark copper color with a two finger white bubbly head that sticks around. Lots of lacing. Smells strongly of sweet pumpkin; very nice. Little hints of spices: cinnamon, nutmeg. Tastes very sweet with plenty of spices of cinnamon and nutmeg. Unlike the aroma, there are weak hints of pumpkin in the taste. Very little hop bitterness. Slight grainy taste to it, and a decent malt backbone. Nice medium body that is appropriate for the style, although it is just a little bit too watery. Still feels good though. Just the right amount of carbonation to tickle the tongue. Unfortunately the pumpkin taste was not prominent in the taste as it was in the aroma. Lots of spices present (for some it might be too much), and tasted pretty sweet. Overall though, it's a very nice pumpkin ale from Alley Kat. --- Re-review, 2013. 650ml bottle that is about two weeks old. Previous review (2012) was a few months old. Pours a one finger white head with a beautiful dark red ruby body. Smells like a pumpkin pie. Fresh pumpkin pie. Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, bit of clove, nice bready and sweet tones on the nose. Excellent. Nice pumpkin pie taste throughout the mouth. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Slight bready note, and its pretty sweet. Nice amount of pumpkin, but a little bit more spice than pumpkin, which I personally don't mind. Leaves a dry, sweet finish. Slight hop bitterness. Bit of caramel malt. Body feels just right. Medium body. Nice carbonation. Goes down real silky smooth, not watery at all. I feel the 2013 edition is better, although my 2012 bottle was a few months old, whereas this one is about two weeks old. Definitely much better fresh. An amazing pumpkin ale from Alley Kat. Anyone stopping at or around Alberta, see if you can find this in the stores! Serving type: bottle 09-15-2013 05:32:16 | More by Scrylol prosperAlberta (Canada) 4.58/5 rDev +19.3% look: 4.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 5 | feel: 4 | overall: 5 2008 brewing, second revision. Pours a nice clear penny-color with a dense beige head. Leaves generous amounts of lace on the way down. Smells of pumpkin pie - sweet (malty), pumpkin-y, with mostly nutmeg, but there seems to be some cinnamon and allspice there, with perhaps a touch of ginger or cloves. There's a floral/fruity hops note there that doesn't quite 'go,' and a zesty acidic zing of some sort as well. The taste, though, is amazing. There's a distinct floral/citrus-like hops presence in the forefront, followed by a dextrine sweetness and perhaps some grassy malt. Then the pumpkin pie, and I think they got the pumpkin/spice/hops/malt balance just perfect. I don't detect any grain bitterness/toastiness/burntness at all. There are also some faint fruity esters there; banana, maybe, or pineapple. Mouthfeel is light to medium, with a moderate amount of carbonation. It's not cloying at all, which I think would be a bit much with all that spice. This is very close to being a perfect pumpkin spice beer in my opinion. I think some wood flavour, and perhaps a tiny touch of chocolate malt or other dark roast would flush things out very nicely; and perhaps go a little lighter on the aroma hops. Serving type: bottle 10-01-2008 22:42:57 | More by prosper IronDjinnAlberta (Canada) 4.47/5 rDev +16.4% look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 5 2008 edition, 4th batch, Sherbrooke Liquor store packaging, although Alley Kat released it as a seasonal too (nice to see it down in Calgary as well!). Pours out a deep clear rustic copper, finger's width of off-white creamy head that recedes quickly to a thin cap. Aroma? Wow! Light caramel malt base, but the star of the show is the meaty pumpkin and the pumpkin spice, tuned in at just the right volume, this is Baby Bear's porridge folks. Best pumpkin ale, with or without real pumpkin, I've ever tasted, hard to believe it's local. Malty goodness (I'm picking up a base of their Amber ale) combined with everything you ever loved about pumpkin pie or cookies. I can't believe Alley Kat managed to get these results even with brewing with real pumpkin, not just the spices. The pumpkin adds a mild veggie twang, and the pumpkin spice drives everything home, a nice blend. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied with a bit of carbonation kick. By far the best local seasonal I've ever tried, covering all of Alberta. It's no surprise this is the favourite and biggest seller of all of Sherbrooke's special editions, it is fucking fabulous, pardon my Dutch. If nothing else, this would be the "spiced" or "flavoured" ale that would help convert people into the craft beer scene, and it seems to be working. Personally I've gone through several cases of this before I broke down and enforced enough self-control to do a review. This stuff is poetry folks. Grab it before it's gone, or vie to trade for it, come hell or high water. Serving type: bottle 11-01-2008 22:46:36 | More by IronDjinn nafnikufesinAlberta (Canada) 4.3/5 rDev +12% look: 2.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4.5 Slightly below average looks with an orange-brown color that goes flat quickly. Very enjoyable aroma of pumpkin and spices, with a pleasant matching flavor that is flavorful, yet subtle enough to maintain a high drinkablility, with the aroma becoming more prominent as the beer warms. It tastes like pumpkin pie out of a bottle, while still maintaining it's appropriate beer-like qualities. Serving type: bottle 10-02-2007 04:44:07 | More by nafnikufesin ChrisCageAlberta (Canada) 4.03/5 rDev +4.9% look: 3.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4 A- This pours a brown/orange color with hints of red when looking against a white surface. It appears to have moderate carbonation but didn't produce a head of any significance, quickly becoming a ring around the top of the liquid. There is some mild lacing but upon inspection, this looks thin. Nice label on the bottle. S- Good solid pumpkin aroma, not as sweet smelling as say Grizzly Paws' version but the spices....nutmeg, cinnamon and maybe even some mild clove aromas are noticeable as well. This has a great natural aroma and does make one think about the holidays! T- This isn't a real sweet tasting pumpkin ale...again, natural tasting would best describe this one. Great pie filing taste...the spices aren't as noticeable on the palate, and there is a mild hop presence here, but not real overwhelming, which I like, as I wouldn't like bitter pie so I probably wouldn't like a bitter ale here either. M- While the flavors will keep you thinking about pie, I didn't find the body matched up as well....I do find this a little more watery than I would like, but it's not a light beer by any means. The carbonation is definitely noticeable and I would have liked just slightly less to make it just slightly smoother feeling, but this is a minor complaint. D- I think that this is a decent offering by Alley Kat and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fall seasonal. The 5.4% alc/vol is welcome and isn't noticeable at all. I think that this is a great beer to enjoy on a cold evening on its' own or would be suitable as an after dinner treat! Serving type: bottle 12-04-2008 01:45:40 | More by ChrisCage biboergosumAlberta (Canada) 4/5 rDev +4.2% look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4 This beer pours a medium golden amber hue, with a few fingers of thick, creamy, off-white head, which leaves solid lace around the glass. It smells like a drier version of my mom's pumpkin pie. Cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, mashed pumpkin. The taste is slightly sweet pumpkin, and more of the Thanksgiving spices prevalent in the nose. The carbonation is on the low side, the body not too heavy, but still substantial, and it finishes off-dry, the same sweet vegetable and spice combo persisting. If it looks like pumpkin pie, smells like pumpkin pie, and tastes like pumpkin pie... Serving type: bottle 09-26-2009 02:48:10 | More by biboergosum joemcgrath27Alberta (Canada) 3.98/5 rDev +3.6% look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4 A - clear orange brown, short tan head dissipated to random covering, okay lacing S - cinnamon and nutmeg, creamy sweet pumpkin, light roasty malt T - pumpkin and spices are more subdued than the nose but in a positive way, caramel and dark roasty malt M - medium carbonation, smooth and slightly creamy, light spice tingle D - a very good example of the style, the flavours are well balanced and not overwhelming like some tend to be, a very nice fall time brew Serving type: bottle 09-25-2010 02:18:45 | More by joemcgrath27 andrenalineOntario (Canada) 3.85/5 rDev +0.3% look: 3 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4 I've had this several times, but this is my first formal review for it. A - Pours a pale golden copper colour, finger of head (after an aggressive pour) little retention, body barbonation is almost non-existent and no real lacing. S - Scent is rather mild, but the nutmeg seems to dominate followed by some green pumpkin, some cinnamon and leafy hops on the finish. T - The spices really shine on this one, with nutmeg and cinnamon coming through. The pumpkin comes through on the finish and and is a bit nutty with some bready caramel malts that linger on the tongue. M - Medium bodied ale, goes down smooth with a touch of a dry finish. I thought it would be a bit more watery given the lack of visible body carbonation. D - Overall this pumpkin offering is quite tasty, easily drinkable, and is the perfect complement to a fall meal. I would definitely recommend this to any pumpkin ale fan. Serving type: bottle 11-12-2010 22:39:02 | More by andrenaline elricoricoAlberta (Canada) 3.83/5 rDev -0.3% look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4 Contract brewed by Alley Kat for Sherbrooke Liquor, the second brew that the store has commissioned this year. I say keep em coming. Clear copper in colour with a creamy off white head. Thin sheet of lacing. Head ends up as a thin cap about half way down the glass. Smells of pumpkin pie and cola. The cola is an odd impression, but it is there for me. Ginger and cinammon spices on top of the pumpkin aroma. Not bad. I would say the taste is fairly true to pumpkin pie. Certainly has the signature spiced pumpkin flavour. Hopping is faint, finish is more notable for spice. Tastes nice, especially if you like the pie. This has some body, but is on the lighter side for an ale. Subtle and quite natural feel to the carbonation. Good brew. My first pumpkin ale so I don't have anything to compare it to, but it is a pleasant drink.

D This beer was very interesting, I had finished it before I knew what was happening and had just the single bottle. worth trying for sure, another unique seasonal for the 10 days of fall here in Calgary Serving type: bottle 09-18-2009 04:14:02 | More by wordemupg RutagerBritish Columbia (Canada) 3.79/5 rDev -1.3% look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75 Thanks wordemupg! Appearance. Pours a cler, deep amber-orange with a finger of cream coloured head. Smell. Nutmeg cinnamon and ginger, sweet creamy caramel, and a touch of orange squash. ;-) Taste. Again, those classic pumpkin pie spices hit first along with a touch of coffee, the creamy sweet caramel is there but not nearly as much as was in the nose, and again, a little bit of real pumpkin when I look for it. Mouthfeel. Medium body, medium-low carbonation. Overall. A drinkable pumpkin beer which for me is saying quite a bit. Spices aren't very overbearing which is also a nice change for the style. I'd drink it again.

Crystal clear, very few carbo bubbles,. Dark brown with orange highlites. Nice head, great lacing. Pumpkin pie/allspice dominates, but some faint maltiness is there. But hey...it's all about the pie right.? Can there be a beer flavour called Pumpkin Pie Malt? Because that's the dominate flavour here. Pie spice and sweet malt. Hops are only discernable @ the finsih to provide a slight bitterness and dryness that offssts the sweet pie flavours nicely. Smooth as pie. Give me a bottle or 4 over this vs that "pre-digested' looking excuse for a pie anytime. Serving type: bottle 09-19-2010 04:15:49 | More by Shadman BigBryAlberta (Canada) 3.71/5 rDev -3.4% look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.75 Bottle, have had a number of times (Pumpkin Pi). Pours a nice, dark copper color with an inch of white bubbly head, sticky lace. Strong smell of pumpkin, hints of pie spices, cinnamon and nutmeg. Taste starts on the sweet side, same spiciness as in the aroma. Cinnamon, clove, nutmeg flavors are stronger than the pumpkin. Malt base, minimal hops. Medium body, slighty watery, could use a bit more carbonation. Overall, it's a very nice pumpkin ale from Alley Kat. Serving type: bottle 05-31-2012 03:04:18 | More by BigBry DawkfanAlberta (Canada) 3.68/5 rDev -4.2% look: 3 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4 A- Pours a golden orange, no real head to speak of and no lace. S- No doubt that this one smells like pumpkin pie, loads of nutmeg and cinammon. I smelt it as soon as I was pouring. T- Just like it smells, maybe not as strong, but everything is there and the malt balances nicely with the pumpkin spices. This one definitely gets better as it warms. M- Medium body, low - medium carbonation. D- I never thought I'd enjoy a pumpkin beer. This is the last of the 6 pack I bought and I wish I'd picked up more. 1 or 2 is enough for me in a sitting though. A nice seasonal from alley kat.

Smell- Sweet pumpkin, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, light toasty bready notes... Taste- The main thing I get in the taste is sweet pumpkin and sweet malts, that is quickly followed by a nutmeg/cinnamon/clove spiciness. Hops come in very lightly in the aftertaste, but blend in with the spiciness of the beer. Pretty much taste like pumpkin pie in a glass. Pretty good. Mouthfeel is lightbodied; a tad thin for me. Drinkability is high although this beer could be a bit much for some because it is quite spciy. Serving type: bottle 10-13-2010 04:06:27 | More by QuestionableScum leaddogAlberta (Canada) 3.43/5 rDev -10.7% look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5 Appearance - Pours a a slightly hazy reddish brown with a half finger width of bubbly head. Smell - Cinnamon, nutmeg, light pumpkin, pumpkin pie spices. Taste - All the spices of pumpkin pie, though light on the pumpkin flavour. Bitterness in the finish. Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall - A pumpkin ale that focuses more on the spices than the pumpkin. I'd like to taste more pumpkin flavour in the next batch. Otherwise, a tasty spiced ale. Serving type: bottle 10-21-2012 04:46:36 | More by leaddog bobsyOntario (Canada) 3/5 rDev -21.9% look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3 12oz bottle from BigBry - thanks for another great trade! Crystal clear orange body with an off-white head which fades to a halo around the edge of the glass. No lacing. I was expecting a lot of spice in the aroma, but didn't really find much. of course, there's a pumpkin sweetness there, as well as some biscuit, but I was surprised to find it joined by butterscotch. Spicing is very muted in the flavour - there's lots of pumpkin present, and a malt sweetness, also some nutmeg, cinnamon and a touch of ginger. A bit more pumpkin spice in the finish, but definitely not as full on as some examples. The mouthfeel could do with being a little heavier to add more substance. As it is it errs to the light side of medium, and the carbonation is also similarly restrained. Disappointing - I've come to expect a lot more from Alley Kat, but I found this to be a sub-par pumpkin. The spice is not nearly as apparent as it should be, and without its presence you're left with a fairly generic sweet beer. The bottle seems fresh, but I can't help but think that there must be something amiss for me to be so at odds with established opinion.

S: Graham cracker crust aroma with a light pumpkin pie spicing, and a slight hint of astringent grainyness. T: Bread & caramel from the malts, light spice, modest bitterness. Perhaps starting to show a slight hint of oxidation, with a flat-cardboard-like flavour. M: Light to moderate body; carbonation on the low side of moderate. D: Average drinkability.

Nice colour, but the head is short lived and lacing is nonexistant. Malty, faint floral hops and some spice, like nutmeg. Clean malt, with some lingering hops, more nutmeg and reminiscent of pumpkin pie. Unfortunately, the feel is watery and light, rather than full and meaty like you'd expect a pumpkin pie. Finish is slightly metallic. This is Alley Kat's Full Moon pale ale with an October twist. I'd rather have the Full Moon, but this is entertaining for what it is.

Best mmorpg private servers: matrix online private server Gameplay - Metin2 has a game play system similar to those used in many Mmorpg video games.Experience points are earned every time the player kills a mob and/or complete's a objective from a NPC. The game's fight is based on an Hack and slash program, the player hits the space key each time he or she wishes the character in order to hit, instead of regular MMO pc games where fight is automatic.Player versus Player (Player vs player) - PvP in Metin2 is available when a character reaches level Fifteen. There are Three ways to fight other players. The very first is to challenge a person to a duel by right-clicking the desired opponent and pick up the Duel choice. This is actually the most typical way and in the situation of death, no training points are lost. The 2nd way is to fight a player from a different kingdom. This way does not require requesting a battle as kingdoms tend to be predetermined to be hostile to one another. In the case of dying, xp could be lost if hit by creatures simultaneously. The 3rd way is to activate the free option under the game play menu. This enables gamers to attack and become assaulted by player regardless of empire or consent. Experience can't be lost this way and rank points tend to be lost when in this mode. If a participant loses too many rank points, their position will change in order to cruel and they'll have unfavorable points. Players who do this are usually condemned through other gamers. At level 50 or above, Cruel rank (name) players have a chance to drop items when destroy by other players. They are able to, nevertheless, use certain things which prevent the item-dropping.

There's no question that representing yourself in a professional way online can be of great benefit. Having a headshot for your website and your social profiles that is clean, bright and flattering can be a real differentiator. Representing the best version of yourself helps send the right message to prospective new clients, recruiters or potential mates.
What I've learned is I grew up insecure about my looks. These insecurities have fueled many of the ideas in this blog and turned into a passion for helping other women feel good about themselves. I always say when I heal other women I heal myself, and when I heal myself I heal other women.
Over time I've learned to accept myself and embrace the very things that make me different. I've also learned that when I feel happy, I look better in photographs. I believe this is true for other women as well.
It has taken me almost three decades to feel mostly comfortable with myself. Today I know the importance of putting my best foot forward. While there are a million ways things that can go wrong with branding, having nice photos is one advantage that's easy to take care of. We all need to do the best with what we have.
I've recently changed my hair color and I've never had professional headshots taken. I recently met a photographer at a NAWBO event named Nancy Rothstein. I learned more about her process, saw her incredible portfolio and wanted to work with her.
Nancy is passionate about helping women feel amazing about themselves, and having that glow come through in her photography. I love working with other women small business owners who are also on a journey to help lift up other women. I can't say enough positive things about the experience I had with her. She was gentle through the whole process, and a true perfectionist. She made me laugh throughout our photo shoot. She is a true master of light and has an uncanny ability to draw that spirit out of you–and make it come through in your headshot. Learn more about Nancy's philosophy and views on self esteem in our interview below.
Blake Landau: What is a common reaction you find from clients who are getting their head-shots done for the first time?
Nancy Rothstein: Many people come in saying something like:
I don't photograph well
I'm not photogenic
I hate photos of myself
I've never had a photo of myself that I've liked
I'm really uncomfortable in front of the camera
BL: Is there a difference between men and women with regard to being self-conscious in front of the camera?
NR: I think it depends on the person. I've had both genders [clients] who are self-critical and uncomfortable. Both genders have come in with specific things about themselves that they don't like. I wouldn't want to generalize but I do think men are more comfortable with themselves. But I think pretty much everyone has challenges seeing themselves.
BL: Do you have any advice for people who feel insecure about their looks or their weight as far as appearing confident in front of the camera?
NR: Well the first part of that answer is at the root of my beliefs—to remember that your beauty is not skin deep. We're all inherently beautiful—and it's our human spirit that makes us beautiful. You know that's true because you experience someone who is "beautiful" by society and media standards, and you know that it would be possible to interact with someone like that and feel that they're actually ugly in the way they behave or treat other people. Real beauty is inside of us.
If we remember that real beauty comes from our spirit–and tap into that–we'll naturally be more relaxed and express our beauty in a photograph. Internal beauty comes out through the face and the expression—it doesn't matter how much they weigh, how many wrinkles they have, how many spots they have, gray hairs, make-up etc. When a person is shining through their eyes and their expression no one looks at that image and says, "oh they need to lose ten pounds." They look at it and say "wow what a beautiful person."
Beyond that technique is very important. You have to choose the right photographer. You want to choose a photographer that can bring your inner glow out. Who can help you to be at east in front of the camera, who can see you for who you are and understand what it is you want to express with your image and be able to draw that out.
There are proven techniques in photography that flatter the subject. In a still image you want to do everything possible to make the image flattering whether that's lighting, camera angle or composition. Bad lighting can make a model look bad. Additionally we all have asymmetry in our faces. The way the photographer poses you and lights you accentuates the asymmetry or balances it. That's really important in a still image. When we're animated and interacting with each we don't notice that. But real life and a still image are very different ways to be perceived.
BL: How do you help people relax when they're getting their picture taken?
NR: I have a process that starts before the session in my phone consultation. At that time I talk to the client about what they're trying to express. What aspects of their personality they're trying to convey with the image. I also give them homework and have them think about things that relate to the qualities they want to portray in their photograph. In the example of a professional person I might have them think about their favorite client, or the feeling they get from being of service to their clients. It could be a feeling of competence of doing their best work. It could be a virtue they're striving to embody. It could be anything. I don't ask them to necessarily share it with me but reflect on it prior to the session. During the session I'm very actively coaching them to reflect on these things and to have their inner experience of tapping into those qualities. The ultimate goal is to create an authentic image that feels spontaneous in the context of a contrived photo shoot. That process which is a combination of mediation and method acting helps the subject to experience something authentic that specifically relates to how they want to be perceived during the session rather than looking at a camera and feeling self-conscious.
BL: Why do you love your job?
NR: I love interacting with people and I love creating dynamic images. I've been using a camera since I was seven years old. It 's a natural way for me to interact with the world. Lately one of my deepest satisfactions with my work is that I create images that remind people of their essential beauty.

•The Israel native and Hollywood's sensational star, Sacha Baron Cohen, arrived in Israel last Wednesday. The Dictator star stayed in a hotel in Tel-Aviv, along with his wife, actress Isla Fisher, and two daughters. This is not his first visit in Israel. Noam (his Hebrew name), comes here every once in a while to visit his 89 year old Grandmother. This was an unofficial visit, and the actor did his best trying to avoid the paparazzi, which managed to track him down, in spite of his very Israeli look.
•Conflict? What conflict? This Friday, a small delegation of teenage girls from the Hebrew settlement: Kfar Etzion, arrived in a Palestinian village Khirbet Zechariah. The girls, along with the head of the settlement's council, came to thank Asharf Sadat, who saved their lives in a fire that broke in the settlement a while back. The members of the delegation handed Sadat a lovely bouquet of flowers, and expressed their deepest appreciation. During the fire, Dadat inhaled a great amount of smoke, and risked his life while fighting the flames.
•The Israeli Tirosh Shapira is the Israeli Avatar. No, this is not a Hebrew version of James Cameron's movie, this is the real deal. Israeli and French scientists have succeeded in making a robot in France move according to the thoughts of a researcher staying in Israel. The Israeli researcher sat inside a fMRI (Functional magnetic resonance imaging),thought of a movement to the left or to the right, and a small robot in France received these orders and moved accordingly. When Shapira thought of legs, the robot moves forward; when he thought of the left hand, the robot moved to the left; when he thought of the right hand, the robot moved to the right. This was enabled without any mediation: from the researcher's mind straight to the robot's "legs".
•For the tenth year, a special flight of American-Jews will land in Israel. No less than 60 singles in the search for love will land in Ben- Gurion Airport this Thursday, in the first round of the "singles flight". During this summer, 450 single American-Jews are expected to make Aliya while searching for their Israeli soul-mate as a part of this unique and self-proven, Jewish matchmaking service. The "singles flights" are a shared project of "Nefesh be Nefesh" organization, together with the Jewish Agency and the Ministry of Immigrant Absorption. Thanks to this project, many American Jews shared their Aliya process with a native "special someone". Since the project started ten years ago, 640 American singles and native Israelis got to stand under the Hupah.
•After failing to pass the Israeli Olympic criteria to join the delegation to London, high jumper Dima Kroyter, judoka Tommy Arshansky and archer Guy Matzkin appealed to the Israel Olympic Committee, requesting to include the three young athletes who have recorded very impressive achievements in their fields, in the Israeli delegation to London. The three passed the International criteria, yet failed to pass the Israeli one. The committee accepted two of the three appeals, and both Kroyter and Arshansky will try and conquer London this summer. Matzkin's appeal was denied, in spite of a massive Facebook campaign calling the IOC to allow the talented archer to compete.

Shotei Ha'nevua ("The Fools of Prophecy") was an Israeli band, who broke up in 2007, but their music still have a major part in Israel's music scene. Their music is a fusion of Dub-Raggae with Hip-Hop and Dance music, with an addition of a Mediterranean flavor.
Shotei Ha'nevua even had a short international career when they toured the U.S in 2005. After their separation, their lead singer, Avraham Tal, went on a solo career and nowadays performs with the band's songs as well as with original songs of his own.
What makes them one of my favorite bands is the fact I can enjoy their music when I am looking for relaxation and also when I want to party and have a good time, thanks to their variety of songs. Here are two of my favorite songs of Shotei Ha'nevua:
Kol Galgal ("The voice of a wheel")
Hoo ("Him")

Last year, the world entered a new phase of protests calling for social justice. It probably existed earlier, that longing for equality in the society, but last summer, the entire world felt it simultaneously. Israel, of course, took a meaningful part in the summer of protests. I am all in favor of the freedom of speech. This is one of the most significant human rights and is an essential component of Democracy. But the thing about freedom of speech is that it should be done right, and by "right" I mean with putting our minds into it. Lately, it seems like people in Israel protest just to protest. Like this is some sort of a fashion trend- everybody do it! Equal rights for the Gay community, recruitment for Haredi, lower real estate prices- they are all very important issues we currently have in Israel, but there is a point when fighting for justice turns to fighting just for a fight. When a country reaches this point- everything worth fighting for loses its value.
Last year's protest was the biggest Israel's ever seen. The streets were filled with tents, as people of the middle class gathered to demand social justice. This protest swirled everybody's heads and got us all carried away. It took a governmental committee that accomplish nothing to realize this protest was unfocused and demanded too big of a change. Ever since, it seemed like the idea of protest really turned on people here. Soon, every subject concerning anyone was accompanied by a protest: subjects such as the prices of chocolate bars. Every struggle seemed to have a need for a protest for decoration. The outcome, I'm afraid, was a really bad Sukkah- too much decoration and no space to breathe.
Now it is summer again, and my Facebook wall is starting to fill with invitations for protests. People are calling me to place a tent in the streets of Tel Aviv and shout important phrases, such as "the people demand social justice." "Going out to the streets" became a common phrase that no one knows what it means. Is there a concrete plan with an outcome the protests arrangers wish to accomplish? Because let's face it- social justice is something we all wish to get, but none of us really knows how to get it. This takes deep thought and right usage of freedom of speech.
A couple of weeks ago I found out I was not alone with my thoughts. Protest leaders worldwide landed in Israel for a special convention, where they dealt with issues regarding social protests, and discussed the right way to throw a protest. Stav Shaffir, one of the notable figures during the protests last summer, took part in that convention, along with protest leaders from Russia, Greece, Spain and many more. Some made a difference, some are still waiting, and some saw in the Israeli protest a great inspiration. On one thing they all agreed: the outcomes of a true revolution take time. A meaningful change can be accomplished only by hard, consistent work, guided by a clear agenda. The issues which lead to all those protests were major, profound issues (at least most of them). And this kind of change is important for every democracy. Last week, some protestors started to use violence, as well as some policemen. A protestor was quoted saying: "We learned that setting tents accomplished nothing, so the police better watch out this summer." Is this how we want to use our freedom of speech? Is violence really the way to make a difference? Some may believe it is, but not me.
This is exactly why we shouldn't let the true solutions be replaced by a fog of signs and shouts. The struggle for social justice cannot be reached by simply stepping outside. It is an important part of the making of a change, but fighting with the government until one side starts to bleed will get us nowhere. I really hope this summer will be the true "worldwide spring." I hope lessons from previous mistakes, along with the conclusions from the convention, will show our fierce protest leaders, as well as our governments, the right way. Governments worldwide should try and listen to the voice of the people instead of ignoring their voters, but the people should be willing to sit and talk, instead of shouting. History has proven to us all that great minds think alike, and that leaders work best together. This is our chance. Our time is now.

• A German court has ruled that circumcising male infants for religious reasons is a crime. A long debate regarding the subject has ended when a regional court in Cologne said last week that circumcision, which is common both in Judaism and in Islam, inflicts serious bodily harm on those who had not consented to it. "A child's body is irreparably and permanently changed by a circumcision," German media quoted the ruling as saying. "This change contravenes the interests of the child to decide later about his own religious affiliation."
• Anti-Semitism refuses to rest in Europe. After the killing in France, and the violence in Ukraine, Austrian authorities are investigating the desecration of 43 Jewish graves at Vienna's main cemetery. A police statement on Friday said that tomb stones and slabs were found vandalized and damaged. The police are still investigating.
• Thousands of immigrant students may face cuts in scholarships given to them by Israel's Student Authority. Due to financial difficulty and many cutbacks faced by the Treasury as well as the Jewish Agency, the Absorption Ministry stated that there is no choice, but to freeze Olim students' funding of preparatory courses, Hebrew Ulpan and all academic studies. The freeze will take effect starting in July. Later this week, students from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem plan to protest outside of the Knesset building in Jerusalem.
• Now it's official! After cancelling their concert in Israel at the last minute ten years ago, the Red Hot Chili Peppers are ready to make amends. On September 10th they will land in Israel and rock Tel Aviv for the first time. In their recent official announcement, the band members couldn't hold their excitement from their upcoming show. They invited their Israeli fans of all ages to come to the concert. They also mentioned their first guitarist, Hilel Slovack, who was an Israeli.

Neomi Shemer was Israel's greatest poet and composer, and this Tuesday was eight years since she passed away from cancer, at 74. But even though she can no longer walk among us and spread her grace wherever she goes, her spirit still lives through her songs. Many poets have come and gone, some left a couple of memorable creations behind. This is right where Neomi Shemer stands out, and what I believe makes her so special- Her songs accompany Israelis for many years, and will continue to do so. To me, Shemer's songs are my childhood, my adolescence, and my future. There's not a day that goes by without me listening to one of her brilliant songs. What I feel about her creation, I believe every single Israeli feels as well, because Shemer's songs are all of us. They are Israel.
Shemer sang Israel. There's no other way to put it. She simply sang Israel, but not in the way most people see it. When you live somewhere, there's no way to avoid thinking about all the bad things. We all tend to get cynical and critical when talking about the place we live in, but not Shemer. She took everything that's beautiful in our Israel and got it to rhyme in a beautiful melody. She painted everything in bright colors- the scenery, the people, and even the world. When she wrote a song about Israelis, she named it: "Anashim Tovim" ("Good People"- free translation from Hebrew). The song about thr relationship between the nations of the world got the name: "Etzlenoo Bechatzer" ("in our yard"), and told the story of children of the world dancing and singing together. In "Al Kol Ele" ("All of this"), Shemer thanks the lord for all that was granted to her: The honey and the sting, the bitter and the sweet. Her most beautiful song, to my opinion, is "Hakol Patuach" ("Everything is Still Open"/ "Anything Can Happen"), and I believe it should be Israel's new anthem. This songs is one big trip in Israel, from the northern Mount. Hermon, to the southern Eilat. This song describes all of Israel's finest features in just four minutes, and also reveals Shemer's attitude towards life in its glory.
Shemer's contribution to Israel and to Israelis cannot be described with words. To understand, you just have to listen- both to the music and to the lyrics. Shemer captured Israel's essence and released it for every Israeli- young and old- to enjoy. Her always optimistic songs make me smile, and sometimes even dance, but mainly to be happy. Her songs accompany us for many years, and will continue to do so, because they remind us why we chose to live here. Moreover, they show us that the world can be a bright place, where people are good- if we just open our eyes and look around .
Ofra Haza, the singer with the voice of an angel, performs one of Shemer's most powerful songs: "Yerushalaim Shel Zahav" ("Jerusalem of Gold"): "Jerusalem of Gold, and of copper and of light. To all your songs I am a violin…"
My personal favorite, "Hakol Patuach" ("Everything is still open"): "…And I thought to myself- everything is still possible, as long as we are here, singing"

My recruitment for the army was simple. When I was 17, I received a letter, calling me for a day of tests, which will help the army find the best type of service for me. After that, I went for several more interviews and tests. Then I received a letter with my recruitment date in it. When that day came, I reported, and after a month-long boot-camp, I served for two years with the best people at the best place, and had a really good time. I was lucky, no doubt, but along the way, no one asked me if I'm having a good time, if I am interested in getting a bigger salary, if I like the people I'm working with, or if I prefer a change of environment. No one asked, and I didn't expect anyone to ask. It was obvious that when you serve your country, that's all you do, and you put yourself entirely to it. It wasn't until I finished my service that the army helped my figuring out my next step by offering a number of conferences and job fairs, providing me tax discounts and giving me a nice grant to help me get started.
It was as obvious as the sunrise to me and my friends that we must serve for the entire period of time required by the IDF, even if it is not to our liking (obviously, I preferred lying on the beach for two years). Just as it was obvious to me, it is obvious most Israeli 18 year old. My question, then, is how come it's anything but obvious to 18 year old Haredi? How come after 64 years, the government is still trying to figure out a way to recruit them? Are they not as Israeli as I am? It they are, and they are, I don't understand why should there even be a question regarding their recruitment. If you ask them, they will tell you they can't serve because they need to learn the Torah/Talmud/ whatever. Others will say they can't serve in the army because this is an environment not suitable for them and not modest enough. The more extreme answer is that they do not support Israel and don't want to fight for it. Good thing I found an answer to all of their excuses: want to study? Me, too. Wish I could start university at the early age of 18, but I had to serve my country. Unsuitable environment? Last time I checked, the army keeps kosher like no place else. Other than that, each and every base has a temple, and every task can be delayed in case a soldier wants to join a service. Finally, we all wear uniform, so nothing un-modest here, and the army also has very specific rules regarding any public touching between male and female soldiers. If anyone will ask for a proof, I will present them with the Haredi who do join the army. I had an entire Haredi section at my base, and from what I heard, they felt pretty good serving there. For the last excuse, I have the best solution of them all- don't want to live here? You are free to leave.
It took my about two seconds to come up with those answers. For some reason, it takes the government forever, and even then, the solutions are merely partial. Earlier this week, the government laid out the 8000 plan to recruit 80% of the Haredi population (the 20% who will be excused are "biblical prodigies"). This program is supposed to either recruit the Haredi to the army or make them do "civil service" (volunteer in hospitals, work with kids, etc.). This plan, like its previous, seems acceptable. The problem is that it's just a plan, and like the many times before, it probably will remain that way. Why? Because for some reason, their recruitment became Mission Impossible 5. If their lack of recruitment was the only problem, I would probably let it go at some point, knowing they will be punished in some way. The thing is it doesn't end there. The Haredi receive all the possible financial benefits from the government, which allows them to spend their lives doing nothing for the country, as the country does everything for them. This is fundamentally wrong, and way over "lazy". This is sitting aside as a way of life, letting everyone else do the job.
The Israeli IDF protects the country and its citizens. Every single day I thank my brother the soldier and his friends for helping me sleep peacefully at night. I grew up knowing that by the age of 18, I will serve. Pay my due to my home. There are many people who, from physical or mental reasons, can't serve in the IDF. The Heredi who choose to "skip" the army see themselves as a part of that group, the "incapables", but they are not. They are just as capable as I. The only problem is I was educated to join the army. They were educated to let others do it. Before I finish, I just want to state that this doesn't go to all Haredi. Only to the group of Haredi who feel like not giving back to their country. The army never asked me about my beliefs, simply because it didn't matter. I am an Israeli living in Israel, and that's enough to make me serve in the IDF. No excuses.

• Recently, the World Zionist Organization founded a special communication center, in order to fight worldwide anti-Semitism which spreads through the internet. The advanced communication center will track anti-Semitic expressions, video clips, articles and other propaganda that have become pretty common online lately. Then, the WZO will address the various publicists in request to remove the drastic expressions. So far, the WZO has recruited tenths of volunteers which speak several languages, to help tracking down the new age of Anti-Semitism.
• More than 1000 Israeli elders participated in the "Israeli Golden Olympics" which took place in a small town called Nordia, next to Netaniya. For two days, the athletic elders competed in various Olympic sports such as swimming, running, and triathlon along with more "easygoing" sports such as bowling and dancing.
• After an Algerian kayaker withdrew from a World Cup last month because of an Israeli participation, the International Olympic Committee decided they wish to prevent similar scenario during the Olympic games, and announced that refusing to compete against a fellow athlete because of nationality or religion would be a " serious breach" of the Olympic code of ethics. The IOC also said that an athlete or a team unwilling to play in the " spirit of friendship and fair play", should "stay at home".
• Last week, Professor Alean al-Krenawi, a resident of the Bedouin town Rahat, was officially appointed the new president of the Achva Academic College of Education. This is a double honor for Al-Krenawi, for this makes him the very first Bedouin president of an Israeli high-education academy.
• Apparently, Turkey and Israel can still cooperate: A special delegation of Turkish teachers visited Yad Vashem along with 370 educators from 53 different countries for the 8th International Conference for Holocaust Education. Turns out when it comes to education, all disagreements seem minor.
• Guma Aguiar, a Brazilian-born philanthropist who has donated millions of the fortune he amassed in the oil and gas industry to Israeli and Jewish causes, was announced missing last week, after his motorboat washed ashore in Fort Launder, Florida. Aguiar is also known for being the main sponsor of the Israeli soccer team, Beitar- Jerusalem. The Coast Guard searched Aguiar for 70 hours from the sky and on the sea, and eventually decided to call off the searches. The investigation is still going.

Most nations of the world have different opinions and perspectives on pretty much everything, but if there's something I believe all western countries see eye to eye on, it is politics. Every four years or so, we all gather to choose our delegates to represent us at the decision-making parliaments. After that, we pretty much live off of the dirt as the media picks on them. Politicians are mostly perceived as populists who spread statements but do nothing, and for their entire period of time in office, we wait for them to fall. That is why we are full of appreciation for the few, true, politicians, who still serve for the people they represent and fight to make a difference. Israel lacks this type of politician, which is why we do anything to show our appreciation for the few who pop up every once in a while. The last time we've had a truly admired politician, the kind which people look up to and believe in, was the early 90's. The politician was Prime Minister Izhak Rabin. Many disagreed with his way, but I believe all sides of the political scale would agree he was one in a million.
After that, things got pretty much downhill, and the peak was in 2007, when our respected president- Moshe Katzav, the number one civilian, was accused of rape and put in jail. There have been several cases of dishonesty and fraud, but I believe the case of Katzav was when we said: "no more". This statement became reality when Shimon Peres was elected president. At a time of progress and constant change, when you count only if you have a Facebook account, we had an 84 year old president, a president who's been around since Israel's very first days. When he was elected he said that becoming a president wasn't his dream growing up. He said his childhood dream was to become a shepherd or a poet, but now that he's President, he'll do his part with great honor.
Yes, our president is one of the last Poets, and had a childhood dream of becoming something that was modern during biblical times. But if there's one thing I can say about Peres, it is that he is no laughing matter. Until elected president, Peres was referred to as "the politician who can't win." For years since the beginning of Israeli time, Peres was in politics. He was a Minister in the Knesset for 48 years, and was even Prime Minister for two years in the 80's and for several months in 1995, after Rabin was murdered. But overall, he was unofficially named "a loser." It seemed like he had lost elections (for Prime Minister, for the head of the Knesset, etc.) more times than any other politician. He was always old fashioned in comparison to his rivals. I remember the 1996 debate held between the two candidates for Prime Minister: Bibi and Peres. Bibi was a young, persuasive man. He looked straight into the camera and improvised when needed. Peres was having some difficulties understanding this format of television production, which was pretty new back then. He read from a piece of paper, turning to the host rather to the camera .Since charisma also plays a part when electing our delegates in office, it was a sure loss.
It took us and him almost 50 years to realize to what part he plays, where he fits best. It is the most respected part of them all. Peres is not a politician, he is a President. He is the one we all look up to. He is a man with clean hands and good intentions. A Nobel Peace prize winner, he is the one we don't even think of digging for dirt about. Our grandpa who opened his Facebook page a couple of months ago. The vary first Israeli president to be awarded the American Presidential Medal of Freedom. It took us that long to appreciate the man who never gave up, who kept on struggling to maintain his public role and to realize his agenda. He is the first Israeli politician to ever be admired by the entire nation. Shimon Peres, our most respected President since the dawn of Israeli Politics, is THAT kind of a politician. The rare, hard to find politicians, whom we cannot stop looking up to.

online versus instore
So I have found my self with yet another conundrum..
I bought a jacket years ago to fit the fatter me. I have lost weight and am in need of a Jacket. I am 6.2 225 (a very svelte 225. ) I keed. any rate, has anyone had luck with the on line sizing guides? Can they be trusted as accurate? or is it just common sense and good practice to buy your gear in person and have tried it on. Thanks everyone! |

I've been fooled before with sizing guides. I used to be a size 32 and one time I bought a pair of snowboard pants that said fits waist size 30-32 so I figured I'd get a nice snug fit...nope. The damn thing must have been 2-3 inches bigger because I couldn't keep it up even after I pulled the velcro waist tabs to max. Sometimes it even depends on the model of pants even if they are the same cut, like I bought 2 Burton pants that both were Sig Fit but were different models. One fit perfectly, the other one had me sucking in my gut even though they were both Small.
Find a brand that fits you and stick with it. I once bought some 686 pants in size Small and they were the absolutely fucking perfect freaking fit. Perfect waist, and perfect inseam. I won't buy any other pair of pants except 686 and I know that no matter what online store I buy them from I can safely purchase a size Small and have it fit. Same with boots, I bought a pair of Thirty Two and they fit perfectly with no adjustments needed. Will continue buying from them for my boots. It saves on hassle/returns when you purchase from a brand that you know will work for you. If you must, purchase from places like Dogfunk where you can order like 3 different sizes of jacket if you want then return the 2 that didn't fit and keep the one that does. Brick and Mortar stores just can't carry the metric shit ton of gear that a place like Dogfunk can which just has giant warehouses filled to the brim. |

I was in your same predicament when I started riding 2+ years ago, had just lost 120 lb. ( from 315 to 195!) Now, I find myself in the reverse situation. Gained back 30-35 lb. this last year. Had to size up when buying a new pair of Burton SB pants. Waist is fine, but because its a mid fit, godam seat n thighs are so snug, I'm not sure I could wear a base layer underneath.
(....I have been told "it makes my Ass look good!") Until you settle into a steady weight, you r probably better off trying stuff on. Once you find a brand with a sizing system that worksfor you, then u should be alright ordering online. ...BTW, I decided to keep the tighties. Figure it will help motivate me to drop some of what I've gained back! (...if that doesn't work, I guess this creepy Ol' Fart will be shakin' his tight ass booty all over S.E. MI. This season!) lol!

I didn't loose weight but I did find certain brands 'cuts' just didn't work for my body. I was a LT but it would be super tight in the chest or not fit in the shoulders. I found it best to try on gear in person.
Same with snowboard pants. I have big quads and certain brands just didn't work out so well. Glad I didn't order on line
Thanks -Slyder |

Even more so the case for boots. I suspect it is a conspiracy by manufacturers to make people go to stores - and buy more stuff while they are there EDIT: And this whole thread is in the wrong section of the forum... Last edited by hktrdr; 09-14-2013 at 03:51 AM. |

Hey Hasbeen,
I'm pretty close to the same size as you. I'm 6'3" and I'm usually around 205-210 these days. I wear 34-36 inch waist usually with a 34 inch inseam in most pants. I was up around where you are at one time and still fit mostly the same... anyway, I tried on a bunch of pairs of pants that I liked the style of till I finally tried on a pair of 686 and they fit perfect. They all were either way too tight or way too loose or too long, or just SOMETHIN' that made them way off. Anyway, I settled on an XL and they fit me perfectly. 686 is a slightly different fit from item to item depending on the specific fit the item was intended but I've also bought another pair of pants and a jacket both in XL from 686 and they were both perfect fits. I did buy their toolbelt in a L that was supposed to be for 34-38" waists and I'm in the second largest hole on the damn thing... That said, I also bought another jacket (also in XL) from another brand right where I should be on their size chart that includes height and weight, and it feels a little big for my preferences. I'm considering ordering another in L to compare and returning one. So, really sometimes it comes down to the kind of fit the manufacturer had in mind when dealing with size charts. Best is to order from somewhere with good policies and get two sizes if you're really not sure. Sounds like an XL 686 will fit you well though... and even though it's not high tech like Goretex, their 15k pants will do rad even in the soaking wet of the NW. Never been wet yet.

Just thought I drop a note on something interesting from CineGearExpo this last weekend.
Michael Cioni (Lite Iron) had a panel presentation on iApps for production:
Basically this panel has produced great tools for the iPhone/iPad and in so doing may soon control Hollywood's metadata workflows.
At the end he took just a very few questions from the audience. First up, the Arri Camera Rep commented on getting data directly from the lens and camera thus not having to manually enter any of it. He stated how they are interested in working with all of these developers. Next up was the Standards question: Where is the new SMPTE? and/or what third party is going to set the standards so that business models and interoperability are guaranteed in the new metadata workflows. This hit a sore spot as these developers are stuck between just forging ahead and developing more features for their own product or spending time building interoperability with other developers on competing and/or complimentary iApps and databases. One panelist commented that he has spent days in meetings with otehrs trying to set standards only to have no results so far.
My question is whether people like Michael Cioni will be in a position to help with metadata sharing standards or if that will start with the camera/iPad and just push on through to post. I'm sure it will be some combination of both. Now here is the punchline on this whole presentation at Paramount. The next and final "question" was from Ted who said Red is already working with these developers and will try to help set standards wherever possible so that others can rely on those standards to build business models and innovative products.
All I know is Arri and Red are going head to head in Hollywood, so it's time to design that killer iApp and see who might buy you out in the heat of the battle.
P.S. Michael and Ted then did lunch... ;)

Mentorship – internationally valued guidance for new teachers
NQT-COME is an international Nordplus Horizontal project (2009-2012) launched by NQTNE network with the aim of promoting professional learning of newly qualified teachers in their induction phase. The project team is proud of the international cooperation between educational experts, policy makers and stakeholders developing better practices for induction of new teachers in the Nordic and Baltic countries.
The project focuses on sharing research based evidence and best practices of mentoring in Nordic and Baltic countries. Parallel to the research, series of seminars, workshops and conferences have been held by the project network in all participating countries. The partners of the project are teacher education institutions, educational research institutes, teacher unions and municipalities from Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
The need to support new teachers is a global challenge. Despite the growing efforts to support early career teachers, the problems in the induction phase have led to increasing numbers of young teachers quitting the job in many countries. The national solutions to handle this problem seem to have many similarities but also differences, due to the special features of the societies and the educational culture. In many cases the support for new teachers is almost synonymous to the concept of mentoring including one-to-one mentoring, peer mentoring and group mentoring. However, there are various understandings of the concepts, activities, actions and relationships between people and organisations connected to new teachers. These are some of the factors that are being researched, compared and discussed during the seminars and workshops of NQT-COME project.
The participating organisations find that learning and professional development of teachers should be seen as a continuing process combining formal, non-formal and informal learning throughout the career which takes place in a specific setting of educational culture and practice and is constituted in a special way. It is impossible to think that the best way to support new teachers is the same all around the world but it is relevant to know and learn from the alternative ways of supporting new teachers and through that in each country provide the best possible support for the beginning of their professional careers. And in this point NQT-COME project helps us to gain better understanding.

CONQUER THE DARK Just three short months ago, Celeste Jackson was pulled into a supernatural world by her guardian angel, Azrael, only to learn that not only was he super hot, but he was also the Angel of Death. What began as his platonic quest to find her, one of the Remnant, and to save her from the forces of evil hunting for her, quickly evolved into forbidden passion. They joined Azrael's fellow angels in the Light in a battle against the fallen, and once the dust settled, it appeared as though the Light was victorious. However that idyllic peace is short-lived when Azrael's angel brother, Bath Kol, receives a disturbing vision. Those members of the fallen that were conquered have found a key to rebirth within the sacred tombs of Egypt. Now able to raise their full armies of darkness against the small twenty-one angel battalion charged with protecting the Remnant, evil has the advantage. That is unless Celeste, one of only three half-angel/half-human hybrids left on the planet, can sway the balance. If Celeste cannot, countless human lives will be lost, evil will eclipse the earth, the Light will forever be extinguished…and Azrael will be forced to make an awful choice between taking a fall to save the woman he loves or to allow her to perish. In Loving Memory Leslie Ann Peterson Esdaile Banks It is with the most profound sadness that I have to inform everyone that our most beloved sister and friend, Leslie Esdaile,August 2, 2011. We will all miss her terribly. Tina R. Wise email@example.com SURRENDER THE DARK Celeste Jackson has fought all her life against a fog of hallucination and substance abuse, but it's not until she meets her protector, Azrael, an angel who has left the safety of the Light, that she learns of the evil forces that have been trying to ruin her, and why. A fierce battle for control of the mortal realm is brewing, and only Celeste—with the help of the Remnant, her half-human, half-angel brethren—can stand in the way. Together, Celeste and Azrael must gather an army of sensitives to defeat the dark powers that have ruled humanity for centuries, but time is running out. If Azrael surrenders to his growing desire for Celeste, he risks being trapped among humanity forever. But the longer he stays, the harder she is to resist. To save the world, Celeste must draw on her own dark experiences with addiction to help Azrael overcome the one temptation that could possibly make him an eternal prisoner—his obsession with her. |

Sarah Rivera has a lot going on in her life right now. It's bad enough that she's being shipped off to Temt Tchaas Academy—also known as Neteru Academy, a high school for future Guardians of the Light who have special powers—but she has to go there with her cocky twin brother and the rest of her compound brothers and sisters. To make matters worse, everyone has ridiculous expectations of her all because her parents are like supernatural rock stars for saving the planet sixteen years ago. But what nobody, not even her best girlfriend Tami seems to be getting is the fact that, she's not special, doesn't want to be a demon-hunting hero, and is even afraid of the dark! |

A Note From Leslie
Dear Readers,
You may or may not be aware that I write under several names--so many that sometimes the aliases get crazy and confusing (smile.) So, bear with me while I take a moment to introduce my full writing portfolio to you, given that I write various genres under multiple pseudonyms using the names: L.A. Banks, Leslie Esdaile Banks, Leslie E. Banks, Leslie Banks and Leslie Esdaile, simultaneously with five major publishers: St. Martin's Press (NYC), Simon and Schuster (NYC), Kensington Publishing (NYC), BET/Arabesque (NYC), and Genesis Press (MS.).
Crazy, isn't it?
Thank you for viewing my work and I hope you find a genre you will be interested in reading. Enjoy!
Please visit my other websites, Vampire Huntress.com and CrimsonMoonNovels.com and the newest, NeteruAcademy.com!
