Comic dramatisation of the life of Paul Raymond, the pornography publisher and strip-club owner who amassed a multi-hundred-million pound fortune and became known as the "King of Soho" due to his impressive array of properties and business ventures based in the central London district.
After starting his showbusiness career as a mind-reader in a cabaret act, Paul Raymond went on to become Britain's richest man and a modern King Midas. With an entrepreneurial eye and a realisation that sex sells, he began building his empire of gentleman's clubs, porn magazines and nude theatre - provoking outrage and titillation in equal measure.
Raymond's personal life was as colourful as his revue shows. His marriage to Jean, a nude dancer and choreographer, ended in a difficult divorce when he met Fiona - a glamour model who became the famous pin-up star of his magazines and shows. His daughter Debbie was the true love of his life, his business partner and heir to his empire - until her tragic and untimely death aged 36. Three weeks later Raymond was named Britain's richest man and his fortune put at £1.5 billion.
Steve Coogan says of the film: "Like 24 Hour Party People, it's a very British story about an eccentric character at the centre of pivotal events in British culture. I love the film. It has that strange combination of comedy and tragedy that Michael Winterbottom manages to pull off with a real deftness of touch. Like very few films these days it's actually about something without being portentous. Oh and there's lots of naked ladies in it too!"

Hi I'm Brent
I grew up in Colorado. I am a high school teacher. I'm a husband and a father of two beautiful girls. I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I love sports, football most of all. The best times in my life are the times I spend with my wife and my daughters. I teach Spanish in grades 9-12 in Arkansas and I love it. I grew up in Colorado and I love the mountains. I have been a Mormon my whole life.
Why I am a Mormon
I am member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints because I have studied the Holy Bible and the Book of Mormon and have prayed to God. He has answered my prayers and told me through His spirit that this is His church.

Solutions to Make You Smile
Dental Problems Memphis
Those who have long worried that their smiles are not white enough, or have been self-conscious about the crookedness of their teeth know how difficult it is living with the constant awareness that every time you talk, smile, eat, or even yawn, your teeth are on display. Missing, broken, chipped, or discolored teeth are your constant companions, and can lead to a significant decrease in your quality of life.
But you don't have to live with your less-than-perfect smile any longer. Dental problems are treated at the Memphis, Tennessee dental practice of Dr. Ettienne van Zyl. With advances in techniques, materials, and technologies, modern cosmetic dentistry offers solutions to virtually any cosmetic deficiency in your smile. If you feel uncomfortable or embarrassed by your smile, cosmetic dentistry can help. An LVI-trained cosmetic dentist, like Dr. van Zyl can fix your dental problems and brighten your future smile. To learn more about resolving your dental problems contact our Collierville dental practice serving Memphis today.
Why Choose Cosmetic Dentistry?
Every time you smile, people make judgments about you based in part on your teeth, and when people make judgments about you, you cannot help but read these judgments in their faces. In a recent study by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), people with a whiter, straighter smile were not only rated as being more attractive and popular with the opposite sex, but also more intelligent, wealthier, and successful.
What is your smile saying about you? And what are people saying back? An improved smile can lead to improved confidence. And a smile you're happy with is one you'll show off more often. After undergoing cosmetic dental procedures, most patients find themselves becoming more outgoing and cheerful. Life is better when you have a brighter smile.
Common Cosmetic Dental Problems
There are many reasons why you might be unhappy with your smile. Genetics, accidents, and lapses in dental care can all contribute to dental problems.
But as diverse as the causes, they all have possible solutions afforded by cosmetic dentistry. Some of the most common problems cosmetic dentistry can fix include:
- Discolored or stained teeth
- Gapped or crooked teeth
- Misshaped teeth
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Broken teeth
- Short and worn teeth
- Jaw problems, including headaches
You may have one, two, three, or more of these problems to varying degrees. Many of these problems are not only cosmetic, but functional, and can lead to other problems if not treated. Missing teeth, for instance, can lead to gum disease and infections, jaw problems, and the drift of other teeth leading to increased crookedness and gapping.
Learn More about Treating Cosmetic Dental Problems
Cosmetic dental improvements can lead to significant improvements in your physical and mental health. Only a qualified cosmetic dentist can properly diagnose and treat your dental problems. If you live in the Memphis area, contact Dr. van Zyl today. He has received training at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dentistry and offers a full range of cosmetic dentistry services. Because he believes it best to treat problems as soon as possible, he offers affordable financing options.

Jazz alert!
Hot on the heels of my last post in which Kitty La Roar talked about her role in Sinatra Sequins & Swing, along comes this new CD by SSS front man Kevin Fitzsimmons - and boy is it a dilly!
Kevin has such a perfect voice for Sinatra songs that he's been a voice stand-in for Old Blue Eyes in TV and radio ads. But the great thing about this disc is that he's even better when he's just being himself, especially on the original songs that sit snugly alongside such covers as a cool and quirky reading of The Beatles' Norwegian Wood.
He had me from the first line, "I'm back on the blues again..." and from there the disc just gets better.
The Fitzsimmons original Views From The Quayside, Slightly Intoxicated is about messing about on the Thames and it swings like crazy, thanks to some accelerating ivory playing by Leon Greening.
Elsewhere, there's razor sharp jazz accompaniment from trumpeter Steve Fishwick and sax men Alex Garnet and Derek Nash. But it's Kevin's effortlessly slick vocals and witty writing on songs like the title track, Show Me The Way that make a great hour of jazz.
Pre-order Show Me The Way by Kevin Fitzsimmons here. Better still, put on your zoot suit and scoot along to the launch party at the Spice of Life in Soho on Wednesday October 2.

Are you a renter? If so, do you have an idea of your renter's rights? Some people are up on the latest regulations when it comes to the rights of a renter and the responsibilities of a landlord. Others aren't as informed. Whatever category you fall into, you should know that your landlord has a responsibility to keep his/her property safe for renters. Whether they need to fix a sidewalk with huge cracks that can cause someone to trip and fall or there is a rickety banister in the house, as the property owner, it is their responsibility to take care of such things. If they don't, they can be sued for negligence.
Slip and Fall — Accident or Negligence?
In any slip and fall case, negligence has to be proven in order for the victim to be awarded damages. For example, if you take a shower and get some water on the linoleum floor, then slip and fall as you get out of the shower, this would be considered an accident. Just because you slip and fall on the property of the homeowner doesn't make the landlord automatically liable.
However, there are some cases when a landlord does exhibit negligence that results in a renter slipping and falling. You would need to prove that your landlord was the cause of the dangerous situation that led to your fall. Or, you'll have to prove at the very least that the property owner was aware of dangerous conditions and didn't take any action to remedy the situation.
Why You Should Hire a Snow Slip and Fall Expert
If you are the victim of negligence by a landlord involving slipping and falling in snowy or icy conditions, you'll probably need a snow slip and fall expert. Why?
- Experts in Weather Conditions. Snow slip and fall experts are essentially winter weather experts. They also have extensive experience and training in snow and ice removal. Their expertise and command of the facts can help prove your case.
- Your Case Will Be Stronger. According to David Burg of Nolo.com, negligence can be difficult to prove in slip and fall cases. Victims who have a snow slip and fall expert, though, will most likely be taken more seriously. An expert can help show that you're concerned not simply with compensation, but with improving conditions so no one else gets hurt.
If You Need a Snow Slip and Fall Expert
All renters have rights. If you've been injured because of some negligence on the part of your landlord, contact Jeremy Swenson Consulting today. We are snow slip and fall experts and can help you argue your case. A negligent landlord needs to be held accountable if he was aware of dangerous conditions and didn't do anything to care for their rental properties. Our experts can show where there was negligence and even recommend ways to remedy the situation.

Why not give him the gift of having them renewed by N-Hance® Wood Renewal for Father's Day in June? N-Hance® Wood Renewal of Summit County, Ohio can renew the original shine and luster of a wood floor, saving Dad's back in the process. Let our experienced refinishing technicians do the work, and give Dad a well-deserved break.
"I hear stories all the time from homeowners here in Northeastern Ohio that had their floors sanded and refinished." said Bill Raeder, owner of N-Hance Wood Renewal of Summit County. "There was dust everywhere and they kept finding it for a long time after the job was done. Owners had to leave their homes, during the process, and couldn't put their furniture back on the floor for quite some time afterward."
N-Hance renews wood floors and other wood surfaces to their original shine and luster, or can provide a different luster of your choice. This is without the dust typically associated with refinishing. Just last month we renewed a floor in Akron, Ohio. The homeowners were surprised that we could complete the job in one day. They loved our Lightspeed® finish, which is cured instantly with a powerful U.V. light. This allowed them to put their furniture back on the wood floors as soon as we left. Perfect so Dad can use his time for more leisurely pursuits.
You can call us for a FREE in-home estimate at 330-971-7900, or visit our webpage at www.neorenewal.com for more information. We would love to renew your floors for Dad!
"Nhance refinished our dining room floor. We had carpeting in there, but decided to rip it out and refinish the floor because the carpet was getting dirty all the time. Nhance did a wonderful job. The floor looks great."
Beverly L., Tallmadge

Barriers to Forest Certification in Developing Countries
Barriers to Forest Certification in Developing Countries - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
In the Decade since the conception of forest certification, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification has emerged as the most globally recognized scheme. However, the area of FSC certified forests in the highly forested, developing countries of the tropics has remained relatively small small. In this paper, direct and indirect barriers to achieving certification in highly forested (>10 million ha) tropical nations are identified. Direct barriers are defined to be those that alone can stop the establishment of forest certification in a country, whereas indirect barriers negatively impact forest certification. Criteria and indicators for these barriers are developed and used as a tool in determining the presence or absence of each barrier. The analysis indicates that the most significant direct barriers are a lack of land and/or tenure rights; ineffective legislation or policies; poor governance; a weak institutional environment; the cost of certification; and an inability to sell certified forest products. Indirect barriers, such as international influence; political will; consumer buy-in; FSC's mandate and forest management standards, and forest operation size, have hindered certification of forests in the studied countries

Spitfire, 1 Acclaim, 1 GT6, 1 Herald & 1 TR3. At the Bon-Accord Steam & Vintage rally which is the largest steam event in Scotland there was 4 Stags, 1 Spitfire, 1 Herald convertible & also a TR6 which was in the public carpark.. The weather was hot and dry which was a pleasant change. There was almost an additional steam event when Graham R's stag sprang a leak from a radiator hose it was also noticed that the radiator was also leaking from the lower hose outlet union, fortunately having a spare in his garage meant a quick fix on the afternoon before the show.TRIUMPH Day this year was held on the 25th June and by arrangement we gate crashed the Thomson Rally in Stonehaven the weather although windy it was dry and quite mild for the NE of Scotland. The turnout of Triumphs was very good and with the three main clubs (TSSC, SoC & TR reg) being well represented on the day. There were, 2 x Spit mk3, 1 x Spit mk4, 2 x Spit 1500, 2 x Vitesse, 1 x Acclaim, 6 x Stags, ! x Tr2, 3 x TR3, 2 x TR4, 1 x TR5, 1 x TR6, 1 x Italia & 2 x Swallow Doretti.The show winners were, Graham R (TSSC) with his Acclaim for the best saloon, Graham also won the Thomson award for the best saloon in its class.ALEX F (TSSC) with his Spitfire 1500 for the best Sports Six car.Neil S (SoC) for the best original StagAlan S (SoC) for the best modified StagPhil B (TR) for the best late TRKarl W (TR) for the best early TRJohn B for the best wedge.Speed Fest was held at Alford on the 2nd July, there was a good turnout of performance cars with with various track events including Pursuit and the Autotest. Graham R and myself with our Stags had the only Triumphs on show. We had both entered our car into the Autotest which involved a slalom course though cones and a return along a straight to stop astride of the original starting line. This was the second year we have done this head to head so a rematch was welcome. This year Graham won the first run and I won the second. AlanG was also on the track with his red Doretti.Our next event is the Scottish Transport Extravaganza, this is Scotland's premier event and is held at Glamis Castle, I will report on the next month.Our August Triumph Club meetings are due to be held on;Thursday 17th August at the Grant Arms Monymusk for a meal evening, & Thursday 31st August, we did plan to hold a meal evening at the Feughside Inn but unfortunately they have closed their restaurant, our meal organiser Mike is looking for another venue which will be published in the "STOP PRESS" page of the Grampian Triumphs website so have a ;look before setting out.The local area events for August are as follows;6th August, Garioch Rally, this is a good event held in Old Meldrum and organised by Alan Sharpe the AO for the Stag Owners Club.

Adopt-A-Highway Volunteers of the Year

CHAMPIONS OF THE WAR ON LITTER Caltrans honors Adopt-A-Highway volunteers
By JACK MORAN-DN Staff Writer
LOS MOLINOS - They've nearly been run over by thundering big rigs, but
according to Gail Heaney, the reason she and her husband Jack clean up State
Routh 99 East is because "we have a defective gene that makes us go out and
work hard for no money."
The Heaneys, who raise pygmy goats and mini-donkeys on their small Marek
Road ranch, were honored this week by Caltrans as its District 2
Adopt-A-Highway Volunteers of the Year. Along with receiving a plaque and
certificate from the state's road department, the couple was also handed a
special Senate certificate of recognition from Sen. Maurice Johannessen.
"Ever since I was a little kid, I've never, ever littered," said Gail
Heaney, who has a definite opinion on those who treat the world like their
own personal garbage can.
"I think they're jerks," she said. "Litterbugs disrespect their community
and their country. Sometimes when we're out there cleaning up, we actually
get things thrown at us. Not too long ago, one guy drove by and threw a box
of french fries at me."
The Heaneys, who joined the Adopt-A-Highway program in 1991 "because we
wanted to do our part in keeping America clean," says Gail Heaney, report
they pick up more drink cups than any other type of roadside garbage.
"Ten years ago, it was crushed cigarette packs," she said. "But now it's
drink cups - coffee cups in the winter and soda cups when it gets warmer."
The Heaneys usually head out to their two-mile stretch of 99E all by
themselves. Piece by piece, the couple fills 20 bags with trash, four times
a year. That's a bunch of garbage.
"The reason we do this is because we have a defective gene that makes us
go out and work hard for no money," said Gail Heaney with a laugh. "I have a
habit of volunteering my services, and I always drag my husband along with
me. On my headstone, it might say: This Woman Died From Volunteer Work."
That's really no joke, considering the speed and amount of traffic the
Heaneys encounter when they walk perilously along the busy highway, making
Tehama County a prettier place.
"We walk against traffic," explained Gail Heaney. When asked if she had
any tips for other litter-picker-uppers, she laughed and said, "Wear a coat
of armor."
Diana Weaver, Caltrans' Adopt-A-Highway Coordinator for District 2, which
includes Tehama, Siskiyou, Modoc, Trinity, Shasta, Lassen and Plumas
counties, said the Heaneys "have gone beyond their call-of-duty and have
done an exemplary job of keeping our roadsides clean for the motoring
Gail Heaney just shrugs her shoulders when people compliment her for a
job well-done.
"I never set out to be a professional volunteer," she said. "I just
believe that we all need to help sometime."
We have field trips

The Creolizing Subject: Race, Reason, and the Politics of Purity (Just Ideas)By: Michael J. Monahan (author)Paperback
Special OrderSpecial Order item not currently available. We'll try and order for you.
DescriptionHow does our understanding of the reality (or lack thereof ) of race as a category of being affect our understanding of racism as a social phenomenon, and vice versa? How should we envision the aims and methods of our struggles against racism? Traditionally, the Western political and philosophical tradition held that true social justice points toward a raceless future-that racial categories are themselves inherently racist, and a sincere advocacy for social justice requires a commitment to the elimination or abolition of race altogether. This book focuses on the underlying assumptions that inform this view of race and racism, arguing that it is ultimately bound up in a "politics of purity"-an understanding of human agency, and reality itself, as requiring all-or-nothing categories with clear and unambiguous boundaries. Racism, being organized around a conception of whiteness as the purest manifestation of the human, thus demands a constant policing of the boundaries among racial categories. Drawing upon a close engagement with historical treatments of the development of racial categories and identities, the book argues that races should be understood not as clear and distinct categories of being but rather as ambiguous and indeterminate (yet importantly real) processes of social negotiation. As one of its central examples, it lays out the case of the Irish in seventeenth-century Barbados, who occasionally united with black slaves to fight white supremacy-and did so as white people, not as nonwhites who later became white when they capitulated to white supremacy. Against the politics of purity, Monahan calls for the emergence of a "creolizing subjectivity" that would place such ambiguity at the center of our understanding of race. The Creolizing Subject takes seriously the way in which racial categories, in all of their variety and ambiguity, situate and condition our identity, while emphasizing our capacity, as agents, to engage in the ongoing contestation and negotiation of the meaning and significance of those very categories.

Washington, DC - Day 3
Our third day in DC was on a Sunday. We woke up early and attended a 9:00 a.m. sacrament meeting. I always enjoy attending church where the church is much smaller than what we're used to. We had a few anxious people introduce themselves and ask if we were new. Nope...just visiting :). After church, we headed over to Mount Vernon. The kids loved exploring the farm, watching the blacksmith make a chain, touring George Washington's home, checking out the amazing view of the Potomac, etc. We ran into our neighbors there, by the blacksmith shop, and enjoyed chatting about the fun things we had seen and learned.
Bear wanted to "shake George Washington's hand and tell him thank you for all he did for our country". Dang, I love that kid!
George and Martha Washington's grave
We learned that George Washington had no children of his own, but that he loved and spoiled Martha's two children. We enjoyed watching movies about him in the visitors center and the education center. Henry Lee said of Washington, "First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen."
Then we stopped by Arlington Cemetery....
Then headed to the National Cathedral to listen to an organ performance. Wow! Amazing!
After the performance, we walked around the Bishop's gardens....
and got super freaked out when we couldn't find Moose anywhere. Brett was running one direction, me another, and Bear another, while Little Miss stayed with Chubbers. We were frantic! Frantic for 5 minutes, until he was found. That frantic feeling soon turned to anger when we found out he'd run away on purpose...to get to the elevator...to push the button first. Ergh!
Good thing we had a little time to cool off in the car before we got to the Washington, DC LDS temple. Beautiful!!!

This is an edited excerpt from an hour and a half interview that I had in December 2010 with James K. Amuah, a former Information Services Department cinema van commentator.
Blaylock: How many commentators were there when you joined Information Services Department as a cinema commentator in 1969?
Amuah: At that time there were few. In the Central Region we were three. Initially I was employed in Sekondi. About a week later I was asked to go to Cape Coast to join the staff there.
Blaylock: And you're from Cape Coast area, right?
Amuah: Yeah. My mother was still alive then but I had lost my father in 1967. So I went to the Information Services Department in Cape Coast. There were two senior cinema commentators and I joined them as the third person. I was with them until I was transferred from Cape Coast to Winneba in 1971. And then in 1973 I was promoted to Assistant Cinema Officer.
Blaylock: What was it like being a cinema van commentator?
Amuah: Yeah, at that time it was more exciting than today! You see being a Cinema Commentator in those days—you know the facilities were not as today. Today you have so many facilities like electricity, water, and many other things. At that time there was only one television station but it was not very widespread. Many of the places we visited were in total darkness. So whenever we visited any of these places, because of the generators we used, it brought some excitement to those particular villages. There was so much fun and excitement watching films in the open. Even in the big towns, at that time, even in the big towns. And wherever we visited all the people would come with their families just to come and watch the film show. Oh, in those days it was very exciting. We used the occasion to inform and educate the people—not only to entertain. But at the end of the day, after the film show, we had enough time to entertain the people. We would play music and then people would come and request for songs. And we would play it and they would be dancing because that would be the opportunity for them to have lights in their village. And they would dance until we were tired.
Blaylock: How did you play the songs? Did you use records?
Amuah: Yeah, records. At that time we had a turntable.
Blaylock: And you had speakers?
Amuah: Yeah. Speakers and everything was blaring at that time. It was fun. It was really fun.
Blaylock: Do you remember any of the films that you showed?
Amuah: Oh, many of them. I can remember Piki the Champion. Some of these films are no longer in the system: Progress in Kojokrom, Insects are Carriers of Diseases, Good Nutrition for Children, Mr. Mensah Builds a House, and The Boy Kumasenu. Yeah, Piki the Champion is no longer in the system. But it was a very popular…
Blaylock: What was it about?
Amuah: Well, there were two friends who were working on a tea farm. One liked tea. The other liked liquor and alcohol and so he was always weak. But this Piki the Champion was (you see it was to promote tea—tea drinking) was always drinking tea. Eventual a bully came to town to brag that he was sooo strong. Everyone in the town became scared of the bully. So Piki challenged him to a fight, and because of the tea he was taking, had enough strength to withstand this man and beat him up to a pulp.
Blaylock: Oh! [laughter]
Amuah: So he was declared the champion. That was Piki the Champion. And we had some other development films like Daybreak in Udi where people were encouraged to do communal labor to improve the sanitation and environmental situations in their towns. And then we had films like…um, many, many. But those films were films that actually attracted a crowd. Many of the films were in English and we were able to make the people understand the film. We also got them interested in the films.
Blaylock: Would you talk over them in the local languages?
Amuah: When the film was on, because it was in English, we would be running commentary alongside in the local dialects of the people so that they would understand what was actually being said in the film. We would let them understand the importance of that particular film. We used the films to educate. Even when there were outbreaks of cholera and other things, they would simply call us. Sometime you don't even prepare. They will ask you, "Come. There is a problem here. Come and assist." Then we would go and show them films to educate them. While they took the film show as a form of entertainment, we took the opportunity to educate and inform them of government policies and educate them on what to do to combat the situation if there was a problem. So that was the situation at the time. In fact we were very important in this country—very, very, important because at every opportunity we would be called. At that time there were not many public address systems and it was really a preserve of the Information Services Department. So we were actually at all functions, both private and public. The demand on us was huge, but we always lived up to expectation because we also made ourselves popular. That is the truth. As a commentator people got to know us very, very, well because we were Masters of Ceremonies at these functions.
Blaylock: So they knew you by name?
Amuah: Yeah. Oh! And we were also always creating fun. I mean people were cracking jokes with us. You would be in the cinema van, and if there should be a problem, or if a private person wanted to send out any form of information they would call us during the daytime. This was the private sector service aspect of our job.
Blaylock: Like they still do today?
Amuah: Yeah they still do. You know the world at that time was not as small as today and so we were easily recognized. People could even identify our voices in town and they would be calling us whiles we were on the job. We were really happy. We were people about town. Everybody knew us.
Blaylock: So did you crack jokes during the movies?
Amuah: Yeah. Oh! We had to be humorous to attract, otherwise the whole film show would become dull. So we would crack jokes and create humor and we had a way of commenting about some of the scenes and that made the people like coming to our film shows. As I'm saying in those days it was more exciting than today. Because today you have television. You have the radio. In those days they didn't even have this modern type of radio. There were these re-diffusion boxes. I don't know whether you've seen any. But there was one central radio station in Accra. That's all. And that went throughout the whole country with only the re-diffusion boxes. They managed to send speakers to individual houses. So…
Blaylock: Even in the 70s it was like that?
Amuah: Yeah, even in the 70s they still had the re-diffusion boxes. You would just open your radio—the re-diffusion box—and it's all over the place, but it was only one-way. No, nothing else. One-way. However, some people had wireless set to tune into other foreign stations. Some of us, my father had wireless radio, but it was not as common as the re-diffusion boxes. Those were the times when the communication was not as good as today so the little roles that we played were very significant. Very, very significant. No matter what. And eh…let's say if there should be a public program in Accra, we would be asked to mount our public address systems in the center of the town and the people would go there and then we would use the re-diffusion box to monitor and broadcast it louder for everybody to hear. So that was the system at that time. Television was not as wide spread as today. So if there was anything, we actually played a great role. Very, very, very great role… But still they find us relevant today. Even in the mist of technological advancement.
Blaylock: Why do you think that is?
Amuah: Well because there are so many information facilities. You have the radio, all types of radio. In this time people don't even write letters, because there is e-communication like email, text, Internet and Facebook. These developments have made the work of the cinema van very difficult.
Blaylock: But they still exist. There are still cinema vans. Why?
Amuah: Yes, we always argue. I have been making this point: that the cinema van is quite different from the television. [He gestures toward a television behind me playing the daily news] Now the man is giving the news bulletin. This one. You see it. Fine. And he will say anything. But you don't have the chance to interact with the newscaster or the broadcaster or whomever. You don't have the chance. But here, when we go and give the film show, you see me, I see you. If there is anything, you can even discuss with me. You can ask me questions. You can dispute my message. You even have the chance to react. Immediately. You see. And here when the man says anything he goes away and that is the end. That is why we beat them to it, you see. And also we have the newspapers. In those days there were only two major newspapers in this country. The Daily Graphic and The Ghanaian Times. Period.
Blaylock: Whoa. Now, how many are there? [laughter]
Amuah: So many you can't even count them. And now look at the proliferation of radio stations. Even in Accra alone you have about 30 stations. That was why in those days it was easier to overthrow the government because there was only one radio station. So when you capture it you tell the people that you've taken over. But in this time if you go and takeover GBC [Ghana Broadcasting Corporation] and you tell them that you've taken over another person will go to another station, and tell them that it is not true. But in those days if you were able to capture GBC you have finished. You see. So things are different today. And that is making our democracy work better. Yes. So, that is the issue. The difficulties in those days played to the advantage of Information Services Department. It became very prominent in this country. So I enjoyed it. I enjoyed being a cinema commentator. I very, very much enjoyed it. I remember even when in 1973, when I gained admission to the University of Ghana, Legon I refused to go. And at that time the entry qualification was not as tough as it is today. But I was enjoying my work! I was enjoying my work with all the trappings. All the trappings! I could get money. Even though the money quantum of money was not as much as today, but the value was good. The cedi was more valuable than what it is today. If I went on trek for 30 days, I would be sure to get 50 cedis at that time. One cedi at that time…eh…it was such a valuable currency.
Blaylock: So you were paid well?
Amuah: Yeah. I enjoyed the little that I was given and could do a lot with it. You could do a lot. Cause at that time a cinema commentator collected 50 cedis. 50 cedi—Oh [chuckle]—for the month. That was the basic salary. 50 cedis. In 1973 I was promoted to the rank of Assistant Cinema Officer, which later on was converted to Senior Cinema Commentator. And then in 1975 I was promoted again to Principle Cinema Commentator. Then in 1977 I was promoted to Assistant Information Officer. From '74 to '78 I was in Accra here. I came down from the villages and all those places and I had come to Accra, the city. It was here that I got serious because I was no longer going on trek. I was no longer enjoying the fun. So I said, "Oh, why shouldn't I go to the University." But then, my mother too died in 1974. And so, at that time too, there was no Study Leave. It was soon after Kwame Nkrumah was overthrown Study Leave was canceled and they had not restored it. I applied for leave, but I was told if I wanted to go back to the University I should resign. Go and come back. And I said that since my mother too was not there to support me, as I was a bachelor boy, I just couldn't do it. I also had to support my brother (who is now in Italy). He was then going through school. In 1978, I was transferred to Sunyani to head the Cinema Section. At that time all the regions had their own units. So I went to head Cinema in Sunyani, Brong-Ahafo. I was there when General Akuffo was overthrown, and Flight Lieutenant Rawlings became the Head of State. That was AFRC era. I was still there in 1981 when Dr. Limann too was overthrown.
Blaylock: Well I had a question about—because you worked doing cinema with Information Services Department for so long—how it has changed with each new administration. You said that you were there when Acheampong was in power, Akuffo, Limann, and Rawlings. Did you see changes in the way the cinema section was run during these different administrations?
Amuah: You see before, because of the relevance of the Department or cinema at that time, people gave it more attention. But with time, when people saw that information could be given to people through other means it started losing its relevance. And that is what I was always fighting for, that they should still have some confidence in the Information Services Department because of its tradition. I remember during Acheampong's time, he liked the Information Services Department especially the Cinema Section. He became personally involved with their activities. Acheampong liked the Information Services Department and there was also another person who was also executed like Mr. Acheampong, that is General Kotei. He was the Commissioner for Information at that time. And he liked us. He liked us. As for Mr. Acheampong, oh, every Christmas—ho—he threw a party and invited the cinema boys. [Much laughter]
Blaylock: Why did he like the Cinema Section so much?
Amuah: You know, because we were projecting him. In those days too, the Ghana Film Industry Corporation was very valuable: very, very active. They made films about Ghana's leaders. You see they started from Kwame Nkrumah's time. So Kwame Nkrumah was always being projected. But Busia too was also being projected but not as much as when Acheampong came. There were always films on Acheampong. Acheampong would not go anywhere without the Information Services Department. And in those days the vans were very few so cinema was traveling all over the country with him.
Blaylock: How many vans were there at that time?
Amuah: Oh there were not many. I mean, before Kufuor bought 146 vans there were only about 40 vans throughout the country.
Blaylock: It is my understanding that cinema van operators have to write a report about each program or campaign they work on.
Amuah: Yeah, when they go out, after every campaign. Even during the campaign they send us weekly dispatches and in the dispatches they tell us what the people feel, the people they have met so far. What they feel about the programs and the messages. Then after the whole exercise, yes, they write a summary report to the agent that got Information Services Department involved. So if it is the government, we send the report to the government. We also do a lot of surveys and some other side issues, anything you find that is of interest or unpleasant we let the appropriate headquarters know.
Blaylock: Like if there were sanitation problems or something like that?
Amuah: For example, there was a time I went to a rural area and I realized they didn't have a public toilet at all in the village so they were just defecating around. So I spoke to them, and I wrote back. I wrote it in my report. And so the government sent agents there and the next time that I went there they had put up a proper public toilet. If you see anything good too, we let the government know to replicate it elsewhere. We also bring it up for consideration by the government.
Blaylock: Do you think that the films that you showed were successful at changing things?
Amuah: Yes. In those days, in fact that was the means of change in this country. That was why I'm saying we were prominent because if they wanted any change they had to pass it through us with appropriate films. Even elections. We were publicizing or educating people about how to go vote and all those things. Some of these things too helped me a lot. It broadened my outlook. Because now if I'm talking about elections I wouldn't go into the books or go into any university, I can tell off hand what happens because I've taught people, over and over and over and over. Ah-ha. Let's if there is an epidemic, I don't need to have any briefing, I can tell you how to go about it because I've done it over and over and over. What I'm saying is that it has rather broadened my outlook and it has helped me a lot. So that is that.

Many documents that need to be sent to India must also be stamped by VFS, and VFS requires those documents to notarised and stamped with an apostille. DFAT is the authorised issuing authority for apostilles in Australia and so if your documents must be stamped with an apostille, then they must be processed by DFAT.
Recently, DFAT have introduced a number of changes to the way they process documents as well as the cost. Previously, you could walk into DFAT at their Sydney office and have your documents processed over the counter. You might have to wait depending on how busy they were, but it was a fairly informal and simple process as long as you were able to go there during their normal opening hours. Now, you need to call in advance to make an appointment. Sometimes you will be able to make an appointment on short notice, but other times you could be waiting for a few business days. If you are going to go to DFAT to have your document stamped with an apostille, you will still need to allow for half a day at least.
From 1 January 2017, DFAT have also changed their filing fees and the way that they charge their filing fees. Previously, single paged documents were $60 for the apostille and $80 for multiple paged documents. Now, there is a flat fee of $80 for all documents. Simple. You do not need to worry about the size of your document, or whether your document has been bound or not, the fee to have your document stamped with an apostille is $80.
As a leading provider of notary public services in Sydney, in addition to notarising your documents we are able to arrange for your documents to be stamped with an apostille at DFAT. Our services will cover both filing and the filing fee and is perfect for those clients who do not have the time to make an appointment and go to DFAT themselves. If you need this additional service, we can handle the whole process on your behalf from notarisation, and apostille stamping so that you can collect the final document from our office or if you prefer, posted out to you by express post.

So I came home the other night and wrote in my journal, "I want to book a commercial in 2011," and what do you know, but my agent has risen from the land of silence and blessed me with the news that I indeed have one.
Um, it's been a good year/maybe two since my last audition. I kid you not. You may not believe in writing thangs down, but I do!!!
Bananas I say...Bananas!
Life's been beating me down. Don't really feel like the best girlfriend, the best employee, the best writer, the best actress in training, the best of anything lately so hopefully this will put a little pep in my step.
Here's to hoping anyways.

And I'm off to start my career as a motivational speaker now...

I am amazed at how "delicate" and intricate it looks yet how durable it is. Thank you so much for such a beautiful creation. The process of desigining this ring, the research, talking with you, and of course the final masterpiece is something I will cherish for a lifetime."

In episode 5 of Season 2, we are confronted with the Mystic Falls Historical Societies "Volunteer Day" funded by the founding families. It is one more of many town holidays, which apparently occur every week. But what I really want to know is, are there any inhabitants of Mystic Falls who aren't part of the founding families? There seems to be the same amount of extras in the carnival scene to the founding family parties. So if all the town's members are part or related to the founding families, what's the point of having the society? More importantly who are the families putting on a front for when they make announcements and give speeches. They voice things over the mic, that everyone in the "club" already knows.
Just something that continues to bug me.

Connecting the A-arm to the steering knuckle, your Nissan 240sx ball joint acts as a pivot between the wheels and vehicle suspension. In contact with dirt and other harsh elements, ball joints may crack and spoil suspension and steering, as you lose great control over your car, particularly if driving over holes and bumps. With a busted ball joint, you may have to cope with sloppy steering and horrible suspension.
Clicking sounds may be traced to a worn-out ball joint. When you spot a worn-out ball joint, repair the part instantly right before the wheels become loose and the tires break prematurely with cupping and other unconventional patterns all over them. Keeping a ruined ball joint isn't good in any way-you may possibly lose full rein over your automobile, particularly when making sudden turns or driving over humps. Use a brand-new ball joint that is custom-made for the specifications of your automobile and durably constructed to last for years.
We ensure the high quality of Nissan 240sx ball joint choices that we have here at Parts Train at discounted prices-after all, these are from top-rated car parts makers like American Presto, and Ingals Engineering, and RideTech. Aside from selling at the lowest rates, we also see to it that you can enjoy hassle-free shopping here with our convenient payment channels, on-time delivery, and 24-hour customer support.

Vacation With Friends and Love one this summer is a therapy: believe me!
After many days of hard work that you spend in the office and Schools there comes a point where you feel so wasted that all you want to do is to break free and just stop working and studying. Our everyday routine, whether at home or at work or at Schools sometimes really gets too boring and makes us feel all burnt out.
Vacation Tips and Ideas, Swimming with Close Friends, and with your love one what vacations are for- to unwind, relax and shake off that accumulated stress we got in the office or schools Going out to the beach with our family or friends is everybody's choice in spending the holidays. As what others do, I have this checklist that I accomplish before leaving for a vacation. What are the things we need to bring when going out to make vacation worthwhile? Here is my personal checklist that I carry out when going out to the beach:
I make sure that I bring a lot of beachwear because I change a lot and I love swimming more than any other leisure or sports. While staying at the hotel sometimes is boring, I bring tents also, so that we can spend the night near the shore with camp fire, marshmallows and some great talks, of course. And like any other techy guys out there,
These are some of the few things that without them, will not complete my vacation. How about you, what's on your vacation checklist?

I came across this at http://www.sewastraightline.com/2011/03/lets-celebrate-with-underwear.html and thought why not give it a go.
And for the cost of a bit of elastic, this is what I came up with.
Not too bad for two (almost) free pairs of cute Big Boy undies for my little boy.
Now i just have to figure out how to make them in bigger sizes??

This weekend, the choice was perfectly easy and did not take me by surprise. I had been anticipating the release of Juno ever since I saw the trailer during an early screening of No Country for Old Men. Ellen Page caught my eye with her cuteness from the the first second and I eagerly waited to see the film. She was awesome in Hard Candy and a welcome addition to the X-Men franchise, so I couldn't wait for Juno. I got a chance to see it yesterday afternoon and I was not disappointed. Juno was one of the best movie going experiences I have ever had, and I owe that to Ellen Page's performance. Her next movie is called Jack & Diane... and I cannot begin to describe the plot...I will leave that to the official plot synopsis:
Jack and Diane, two teenage lesbians, meet in New York City and spend the night kissing ferociously. Diane's charming innocence quickly begins to open Jack's tough skinned heart. But, when Jack discovers that Diane is leaving the country in a week she tries to push her away. Diane must struggle to keep their love alive while hiding the secret that her newly awakened sexual desire occasionally turns her into a werewolf.Could this possibly be the greatest werewolf film ever.......I dare say so.
