Danú is an Irish traditional music band based in County Waterford, Ireland. First meeting in Waterford in 1994, it was after performing in the Festival Interceltique de Lorient in 2005 that the group decided to consolidate as a band. They play both traditional and original tunes and bring much energy to their music. Danu features Benny McCarthy on accordion, Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh on vocals and tin whistle, Tom Doorley on flutes, whistles, and vocals, Eamon Doorley on bouzouki and fiddle, Donnchadh Gough on bodhran and uilleann pipes, Dónal Clancy on guitar, and Oisin McAuley on fiddle and vocals. Danú's second album, Think Before You Think (2000) was voted Best Overall Traditional Act by Dublin's magazine Irish Music. They have been voted Best Traditional Group twice in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, the only band to achieve such a feat. Their version of Co. Down (written by Tommy Sands) won Best Traditional Song in the same awards. Read more on User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.

Trustee and Baseball Alumnus Delivers $2 Million Gift to GW

Ave Tucker’s donation will support athletics, School of Business, GW Law.

Barcroft Park
In recognition of Ave Tucker’s donation, the GW Board of Trustees voted Sept. 24 to name the baseball field at Barcroft Park in Arlington, Va., in his honor.
October 16, 2014

By Craig Burdick

Nearly 40 years after he chased down fly balls on The Ellipse as a speedy outfielder on the George Washington University baseball team, Avram “Ave” Tucker is making a $2 million donation that will enhance athletics and academics at his alma mater.

Mr. Tucker, B.B.A. ’77, a member of the GW Board of Trustees, is donating $1 million to the Department of Athletics and Recreation, $750,000 to the School of Business and $250,000 to the GW Law School. Half of the athletics gift will go to the Buff & Blue Fund for unrestricted support of student-athletes. The other half is slated for construction of a baseball clubhouse.

“I am delighted that Ave Tucker has chosen to support the university in such a range of important ways, each of which means so much to him personally,” said GW President Steven Knapp.

In recognition of Mr. Tucker’s generosity and support, the GW Board of Trustees voted Sept. 24 to name the baseball field at Barcroft Park in Arlington, Va., in his honor.

“Ave’s generosity and spirit of philanthropy will have a profound impact on all of our student-athletes,” Director of Athletics and Recreation Patrick Nero said. “His commitment to the physical well-being of our student-athletes, as well as to our baseball facility, will help our programs to continue the momentum of these past few years. We are forever grateful to Ave for his commitment to his alma mater, and thanks to him, we will be proud to compete for championships on Tucker Field year in and year out.”

Ave Tucker spent 16 years on the School of Business Advisory Board and was elected to the GW Board of Trustees in 2013.

Why the triple play of athletics, business and law? Mr. Tucker, co-founder and CEO of TM Financial Forensics, LLC, attended GW on a baseball scholarship during his junior and senior years and long has wanted to repay GW for giving him an opportunity to play baseball at a Division I school. He said the School of Business taught him how to be a creative problem-solver. And as a renowned forensic accountant at the top of a business and litigation consulting company, he spends hours in court as an expert witness in procurement cases, giving him a strong appreciation for law.

“While at the time I didn’t really understand it, [the School of Business] spent a lot of time teaching us how to think, and be creative and come up with solutions,” he said. “That’s served me very well in my career. [And] GW Law is one of the most preeminent law schools in the country for government contracts and procurement law, and so I actually interact with them quite a bit in my business.”

The School of Business gift will support faculty summer research, a strategic funding priority for GWSB in GW's Making History campaign. The GW Law School donation will support the Government Contracts Associate Dean endowed fund, the subject of a current fund raising drive at the law school. The university's Government Procurement Law Program is the only one of its kind in the United States. Including Mr. Tucker's gift, more than $1.4 million of the endowed fund's $2.5 million goal has been raised.

Mr. Tucker, who spent 16 years on the School of Business Advisory Board, was elected to the Board of Trustees in June 2013.

Tucker Field at Barcroft Park will be dedicated Oct. 18. The park has been the home of GW baseball since the team relocated off The Ellipse in 1993. Barcroft Park underwent a multi-million dollar renovation in 2012 to install a new press box, concession area, dugouts, bullpens and stadium seating.

“Having Ave’s name on the new baseball field will be an inspiration to student athletes for generations to come,” Dr. Knapp said.

Woohoo — finally here.

Thirty-three thousand words and one life goal are behind me. Sometime (hopefully) before Christmas “Wicked Akron: Tales of Rumrunners, Mobsters and other Rubber City Rogues” will be out in local bookstores and available on Amazon. I am oddly jazzed by the fact that I now have a Library of Congress number!

Here’s the cover — I’ve been trying to post it for days! Some ghost in the machine.

One of the things I wanted to do with my year-long sabbatical from journalism was to find out whether I could write, research and create on a deadline without the structure of a big building with printing presses — kind of independent study for (semi)adults.

I also spent some time doing other types of business writing. At the end of the day I find that I’ve got another book or two in me, but I’m still a journalist. More on that later.

As Sundance said to Butch on his way off the cliff, “Oh sh……..!”

Every new chapter of life needs a good expletive.

Happy New Year! あけましておめでとうございます！

Wishing all the readers of Haikugirl’s Japan a very Happy New Year! 2012 is the year of the dragon. According to Amy Chavez, “Japanese dragons are said to be benevolent but don’t be fooled. They can still be very wrathful.” But Amy also goes on to say that dragons are the “guardians of Buddhism“, and it is true that dragons can be found at temples all over Japan (and shrines – dragons feature in Shinto as well as Buddhism).

Seimei Shrine

Japanese dragons are often thought of as water deities, which is why you sometimes find them by hand washing fountains (chozuya or temizuya) at shrines and temples. Interestingly, I have seen a couple of mentions of 2012 being the year of the seahorse instead of the dragon – I wonder if that has anything to do with the dragon as a water deity? (More on that here.)

In Amy’s article she says, “the good news for 2012 is that the dragon, full of myth and magic, should bring us wealth and fortune in the New Year, which is optimistic news in these tough economic times.” If nothing else, perhaps it will be a good year for the Chunichi Dragons in Nagoya!

A Chunichi Dragon

I hope 2012 proves to be a fortunate you for all of you reading this, and for everyone in Japan! (*^_^)v

CD Review: the GazettE – DIVISION

I used to be a bit of a rocker in my teenage years, listening to everything from Marilyn Manson to Silverchair, Alice in Chains to Pearl Jam, Metallica to Coal Chamber, and I dressed to match the bands I was listening to at the time. As I got older, my tastes mellowed, as did my dress sense, but I’ve always felt like there is a little bit of rocker/punk still in there.

When I heard about the Japanese rock band the GazettE switching to the newly established JPU Records label for the UK and European release of their sixth album DIVISION I’ll admit that I didn’t give it an awful lot of thought. It’s great that Japanese bands are becoming more prominent in the UK and Europe, but I assumed that the GazettE wouldn’t be ‘my kind of band’.

the GazettE

Then I was asked to review the CD. So, here I am, volume cranked up, drinking a herbal tea (yes, I know…) and listening to DIVISION by the GazettE and… I’m not hating it! I’ll be honest – I could do without the growls. But I like the melodic vocal bits and the guitar bits, and it was actually quite refreshing to put on some rock music and turn up the volume a bit (sorry neighbours!).

First, I’ll start with the cover. It’s not often these days that I have an actual CD in my hands, as so much music is digital now. DIVISION is available both as a CD and digitally (see this link for a list of retailers across the UK and Europe), but I’m lucky enough to have the CD. The cover is cool – and my teenage self would have bought a poster of it and stuck it on her bedroom ceiling. Inside the CD booklet (yes, a real, thick, full-colour booklet) there are dark, arty pictures, which go perfectly with the atmosphere of the music. And, best of all, there are lyrics. I remember whiling away many hours singing along to CDs with the lyrics booklet in front of me (hell, I still do!), and this is particularly appealing to me when it comes to rock music, and especially Japanese rock music. Tucked inside the booklet was the real gem though – a romaji version of the lyrics, so we can sing along not only to the English bits, but also to the Japanese bits, without necessarily understanding Japanese (there’s also a translation of the Japanese bits)! Actually, I reckon this would be a great way to practice Japanese – both pronunciation and translation. I wish more Japanese CDs came with romaji lyrics! (For any of you who don’t know, romaji is the romanisation of Japanese into English characters.)

the GazettE - DIVISION

the GazettE – DIVISION

So, the music…

the GazettE are a visual kei rock band, so their costumes are more wild than the music. It’s pretty standard rock, with not too many growly bits, and tuneful vocals. Even without reading the translations, you kind of feel like you can sing along – it’s that kind of rock. Musically, if I were to liken them to a non-Japanese band I find myself wanting to say they’re a bit like Nickelback, but I’m sure someone will tell me I’m wrong when they read that! Still, we don’t really have anything like visual kei rock outside of Japan, and they seem kind of Nickelback-y in their melodious tone and angstiness, perhaps with a bit of Rachel Stamp (remember them?) thrown in for good measure.

There are 12 songs on the album, and my favourite tracks are 歪 (Ibitsu / Strain) and 影踏み (Kagefumi / Shadow Stepping). ‘Kagefumi’ is the customary slower track, which is probably why I like it. Here’s a video of ‘Ibitsu’:

As I’m writing this, I’ve just reached the end of the album and discovered the final track, [Melt], which is instrumental. It reminds me of something you might hear while walking around Cyber Dog in Camden, and kind of makes me want to go clubbing. Although I prefer the vocal tracks, I actually wouldn’t mind a whole album of this instrumental music, as it’s really quite interesting.

Honestly, I didn’t expect to have an awful lot to say about this album and I had completely pigeon-holed it before I even heard a note. But luckily I was open-minded enough to give it a go and, actually, I’ve listened to the album twice through and really enjoyed it for the most part. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’d run out and buy tickets to their next concert, but if they happened to play at Hyper Japan or a similar event I would certainly make sure I got a space at the front. Listening to the GazettE has reminded me that I don’t need to forget all about rock music just because I’m a bit older now. There’s so much exciting new music out there, and it seems like Japan has an awful lot to offer. I hope the GazettE and other visual kei rock bands start to become more popular here in the UK and in the rest of Europe.

Oh, and if you need one more very shallow reason to like the GazettE… they’re very, very pretty. 😉

So, if this sounds like your sort of thing and you want to know more about the GazettE, check them out on Japan Underground’s website. Japan Underground hold regular Japanese music events and club nights in the UK and also run the record label JPU Records. The next event coming up is Headbangers Bash on Saturday 12th January, featuring Kobe metal outfit BRAIN DEATH ZOMBIE and London-based Japanese noise-duo Umez – more information about that here. Follow JPU Records (@JPUrecords) and Japan Underground (@JP_underground) on Twitter for the latest news about Japanese music in the UK.

The 10 Worst Tech Products of 2010 203

Barence writes "PC Pro has a count down of the ten worst tech gadgets of the year. Included in its hall of shame are: iPad Made Simple, 'a book containing 704 pages of advice on how to use a device that's universally acknowledged as being ridiculously easy to use'; the Dell Inspiron Duo, 'a tablet that leaves you longing to return to a keyboard and a touchpad'; and the £99 Next Tablet, the highlight of which was the 'eight-page Quick Start Guide.'"

    The funny part is how everyone just accepts the Apple PR. I'm not saying that an iPad is rocket science, but there are configuration setting in the thing that many people just wouldn't know what they mean. In fact, there are just as many setting to configure to use an iPad as there are to use a new Windows PC. And speaking of a PC, you have to have one and use it to get full use of the iPad. So, if a Windows/OSX mand simple book makes any sense at all, so does an iPad made simple book.

    I've played with the Apple store Mac configuration tool any number of times, and the upgrade prices are preposterous. They are utterly divorced from reality, and it makes them look very bad - if you're charging five times the cost differential between hard drive A and hard drive B, you get the sneaking suspicion—probably accurate—that their initial prices for peripherals are similarly rapacious.

    Take the $700 Mac mini. Set aside that it is overpriced, for the moment, since some people will pay more for the fact that it is designed well, and that they want to use MacOS.

    Included: 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Upgrade: 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo [Add $150.00]

    Newegg: Difficult to give a precise comparison, but consider that the price difference between the 2.4GHz (P8600) and 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo (P9600) is $120. This is retail pricing, and not what an OEM like Apple would be paying.

    Included: 2GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x1GB
    Upgrade: 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB [Add $100.00]
    Upgrade: 8GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB [Add $500.00]

    2x 1GB DDR3 1066MHz SDRAM: Starting at $27.98
    2x 2GB DDR3 1066MHz SDRAM: Starting at $49.98 [Add $22]
    2x 4GB DDR3 1066MHz SDRAM: Starting at $139.98 [Add $112]

    Hard drive:
    Included: 320GB Serial ATA Drive
    Upgrade: 500GB Serial ATA Drive [Add $100.00]

    HITACHI Travelstar 7K500 HTE725032A9A364 320GB 7200 RPM 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Notebook Hard Drive -Bare Drive $59.99 (this is the exact drive in the default setup, which I feel is the fairest way to go as I don't want to compare it to a drive whose vertical clearance might be slightly different)
    HITACHI Travelstar 5K500.B HTS545050B9A300 (0A57915) 500GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Notebook Hard Drive -Bare Drive $59.99 [Add $0.00]

    I'm told this faster drive also works:
    Seagate Momentus 7200.4 ST9500420AS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Notebook Hard Drive -Bare Drive $64.99 [Add $5.00]

    As well as this larger, faster drive:
    Seagate Momentus ST9750420AS 750GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Notebook Hard Drive -Bare Drive $109.99 [Add $50]

    I don't mean to be "that guy", because I appreciate why some people prefer Apple, and they make some hardware that, if prices were less insane, I would be interested in, but their prices on upgrades is punitive to say the least.

Heal the Bay Blog

Category: Plan Your Visit

Nov, 13, 2014 — Jaclyn Friedlander saw the email inviting Santa Monica Pier Aquarium volunteers to build a Rube Goldberg Machine for this Saturday’s S.T.E.A.M. Machines event on the Pier and took the challenge to her most creative and handy friends.

“We had two objectives,” Jaclyn explains, “to incorporate as much of Heal the Bay’s message as we could and build a machine that works. The second part of that is actually not as easy as it looks when it comes to building a Rube Goldberg Machine.”

A Rube Goldberg machine is “an overly complex contraption, designed with humor and a narrative, to accomplish a simple task,” according to the national competition’s official website. Teams of high school and college students will compete beginning at 11:30 a.m.  Saturday marks the second annual regional Rube Goldberg contest, which will showcase machines that erase a chalkboard in a unique fashion.

The free event is hosted by Heal the Bay along with the Santa Monica Pier Corp. and presenting sponsor Time Warner Cable’s Connect a Million Minds initiative.

Friedlander’s creation won’t be entered in the contest, but will add to the multitude of fun and innovative activities – from bicycle-powered ice cream to 3-D printing, to opportunities for all to build, draw, paint and create. The event takes place 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the east end of the Pier. The theme will continue at the Aquarium, where visitors can pilot an underwater ROV, capturing marine samples with mechanical claws.

Friedlander calls the process of building a Rube Goldberg machine one of “creative trial and error with major contributions from everyone.” The six-member team did include one person with an engineering degree who creates video games for a living (Jason Wishnov) and a second, Timothy Ries, who Friedlander credits with using his construction skills to create the base of the machine.

After about eight hours in the planning phase, the team — which also included Trisha Hershberger, Justin Langley, and Nate (goes by his first name only  ) — spent a couple of hours to collect the necessary materials and another 14 hours building. So their baby is definitely a 24-hour labor of love. Built at YouTube’s studio in Los Angeles, the group created a time-lapse video as well, which will be available on Hershberger’s YouTube channel any day now.

When watching the machine in action, notice how a shell became a key component to a crucial step. But the true secret ingredient? Lots of duct tape.

The Frightfully “Fintastic” Fishy Fest held last weekend at our Santa Monica Pier Aquarium lived up to its name. The marine center was packed with all sorts of witches, ghosts and ghouls. It was a monstrously successful event and we have some neighbors and friends to thank who contributed to the fun.

  • The Girl Scouts of Troop 12815 brought reusable trick-or-treat bags they created from recycled tee shirts. The girls gave the bags out to our guests for decorating, while sharing ocean pollution education.
  • Parade partners Rusty’s Surf Ranch, The Albright, Bubba Gump and Pacific Park all provided treats for our parade of goblins. And a special shout-out to our honorary grand marshal, Treeman of Venice, who put all his passion for the natural world – and his considerable height – into leading the parade. Thanks also to filmmaker Michael Angelo for documenting the procession and post-parade festivities at the Aquarium. It was a “tree-mendous” weekend!

And last but not least, we thank Bob Shanman of Wild Birds Unlimited in Torrance, who is a true believer in getting kids outside and experiencing the natural world. For years, he has worked with our Key to the Sea and Key to the Watershed programs, providing binoculars at cost (or below cost) for our programs and servicing them every year free of charge.

What a treat!

Halloween parade at Santa Monica Pier Aquarium

Halloween parade at Santa Monica Pier Aquarium

Our Santa Monica Pier Aquarium always loves dressing up for Halloween and Dia de los Muertos. There’s the colorful papel picado hanging from the rafters, mini pumpkins decorating the tanks and spooky enhancements all around. Volunteers and visitors are encouraged to celebrate the season by arriving in spooky gear the last weekend in October for the Aquarium’s Fishy Fest.

For those who need a little help putting a costume together, both inspiration and materials will be available.The Aquarium is partnering with Santa Monica’s Resource Recovery and Recycling division to offer gently used goblin garb to visitors.  Anyone who drops off a costume with the library by Oct. 15 gets a coupon to pick out a costume at the Fairview Branch of the public library Saturday, Oct. 18. Costume swappers also receive a coupon for $1 off admission to our festivities.

The leftover outfits from the costume swap are being donated to the Aquarium and will be available for anyone to use for the parade, stepping off in front of the marine science center at 3 p.m. Oct. 26. The trick-or-treat procession will make stops at neighboring Pier businesse. What a sweet deal for all the little monsters in your life!

A ribbon-cutting ceremony to commemorate remodeled restrooms may not sound newsworthy at first glance. But when the remodeled bathrooms are in Heal the Bay’s Santa Monica Pier Aquarium, and the remodelers did all the work for free – well, that’s something to celebrate.

The dream team from One Week Bath will be lauded and the gleaming new restorooms will begin active duty this Sunday, October 12th, at 1pm. In addition to a ribbon-cutting, a presentation on water as a resource will follow in the Dorothy Green Room at 1:30 p.m.

Matt Plaskoff, a native of the area and the owner of One Week Bath, wanted to make a donation that would have a big impact to mark his company’s 2,000th bathroom redo. “When we learned that the public restrooms of the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium needed help, we knew we found a great recipient.”

“I grew up in the area,” Plaskoff continued. “I went to Santa Monica High School, Santa Monica College, raised my kids on the Bay, and I surf – the health of the Santa Monica Bay is something I am very passionate about. Knowing that these bathrooms are going to serve millions of kids that come to the Aquarium to learn about marine biology makes this one of the most meaningful projects in my career.”

Thank you Matt and One Week Bath!

Halloween always goes by too quickly for kids. There’s all that time deciding what you want to be, then there’s assembling the costume and all for one night of trick-or-treating. It’s enough to make a goblin grumpy.

Cheer up! The staff at our Santa Monica Pier Aquarium wants to prolong the holiday too. The second annual Santa Monica Pier Halloween Parade is the perfect opportunity for all creepy creatures to practice their trick-or-treating skills. Bring a costume (check out the City of Santa Monica’s Costume Swap for a fun way to trade in your costume from last year into something new)– or make one at the Aquarium’s Halloween/Dia de los Muertos craft station before the parade. We’ll distribute reusable trick–or-treat bags (as long as supplies last) and little monsters can decorate the bags and be ready to step off in front of the Aquarium at 3 p.m. on Sunday, October 26.

You can bet your cauldron we’ll have a few colorful sea creatures to lead the parade up on the Pier, where local businesses plan to be ready with treats!

Heal the Bay’s Santa Monica Pier Aquarium joins more than 1,800 museums nationwide in offering free admission to military personnel and their families this summer. In collaboration with the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families and the Department of Defense, the Aquarium will admit all active duty military personnel and up to five family members free of charge from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

This is the third year the Aquarium has participated in the Blue Star Museums program. Blue Star Families is a national, nonprofit network of military families from all ranks and services, including guard and reserve, dedicated to supporting, connecting and empowering military families. Blue Star Families hosts an array of programs with its partners and also works directly with the Department of Defense and senior members of local, state and federal government to highllight military family issues. Working in concert with fellow nonprofits, community advocates and public officials, Blue Star Families raises awareness of the challenges and strengths of military family life and works to make military life more sustainable.

Congress established the National Endowment for the Arts in 1965 as an independent agency of the federal government. To date, the NEA has awarded more than $4 billion to support artistic excellence, creativity, and innovation for the benefit of individuals and communities. The NEA extends its work through partnerships with state arts agencies, local leaders, other federal agencies, and the philanthropic sector.

View the complete list of Blue Star Museums.

Heal the Bay’s Santa Monica Pier Aquarium recently teamed up with Wemo Media to help spread the word about ocean conservation via a new iPad game, SUPERFUGU.

The free 3-D game allows players to control an eco-warrior pufferfish named Fugu who must fend for himself to escape the threat of endangerment from urban and stormwater runoff, plastic pollution and overfishing.

Animated by Avatar Animation Director Andy Jones, with ocean science facts presented by oceanographer Dr. Sylvia Earle, SUPERFUGU launched on iTunes on May 1.

Heading east, away from the beach and the surf, we were on a mission. The destination: Golden Road Brewing, just north of downtown. They had a special treat waiting for Heal the Bay staffers. Today was the day that the Heal the Bay IPA (India Pale Ale) would be tried and tested.

The partnership between Heal the Bay and Golden Road Brewing is a seemingly perfect match. The two-year old brewery, founded by Tony Yanow and Meg Gill, an avid surfer and swimmer, focuses on sustainability, local followers, doing things right for the community and jumpstarting a local movement of craft beer making. Other than the beer making, Heal the Bay’s focus has been on a similar trajectory for nearly 30 years.

The carbonation would be added later that night, but we sampled the essence of the ale, the brainchild of Golden Road’s team led by lead brewer Cole Hackbarth and brewmaster Jesse Houck. Both herald from places with histories of great brewers – Cole from Oregon and Jesse from San Francisco – but wanted to kick start that same passion in a place known for its love with food, drink and beautiful beaches: our home, Los Angeles.

When asked about how a beer that would represent Heal the Bay was created, I was given a beautifully worded description of the “two-row base malt, layered with three different hops (Citra, Centennial & Nelson Sauvin) that would bring about a citrus and fresh flavor to a light and drinkable IPA.” Yes I love it… but after a few more tastes and some casual banter in their “brewers” room, I got to see the artistic, yet scientific, nature of brewing at its best. Words that are associated with Heal the Bay, like “Summertime,” “Fresh” and “CLEAN” came up when they put their fine minds together to create a beer that would proudly wear the name of Heal the Bay. There it was! A beautiful partnership of a local brewer and their fine craftsmanship, representing Heal the Bay’s years of hard work to make our oceans, fresh, light and CLEAN – all in an IPA!

Golden Road’s Heal the Bay IPA will debut this Saturday when the new brew will be full of carbonation and available for everyone and anyone to try at the Santa Monica Pier for the Earth Day Blue/Green Festival. Just $10 gets you a sustainable bamboo pint mug and tastes of three different Golden Road beers at three Santa Monica Pier establishments (Big Deans, Rusty’s Surf Ranch and Santa Monica Pier Seafood) all the while supporting a clean ocean just in time for the start of summer.

The city of Santa Monica is bustling with development projects, and the area around our Santa Monica Pier Aquarium is at the hub of construction activity. We’re committed to providing updates on construction and links to websites that map the best routes and point out parking availability. Most importantly, please remember the Aquarium and the Pier are open! These links will help you get to the Aquarium — our sea urchins still need hugs.

When the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium asked our neighbors to help us celebrate the marine center’s 10th anniversary throughout the month of March, they jumped at the bait, creating ocean-inspired concoctions to serve in their establishments.

We’re looking forward to spending a week making our way through the signature libations and food specials at these seven Santa Monica businesses – beginning March 1st to allow time for return visits!

Neptune's MuseThe Basement Tavern will be serving up the Green Barnacle cocktail: jalapeño and honey dew infused vodka, citrus, agave, mint, and cucumber over ice.

·      Beachy Cream Organic Ice Cream will be scooping the flavor of the month, Peanut Butter Jellyfish.

·      The Hungry Cat will be pouring Neptune’s Muse (pictured right): gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, liquore Strega, Creme de Violette, served up with a black lava salt rim.

·      Lago Santa Monica  presents the Santa Monica Starfish cocktail: fresh oro blanco grapefruit, blood orange, Tru Organic Vodka, splash of sparkling prosecco.

·      The Lobster, featuring the Heal the Bay Tide Pool: Rain organic vodka, Midori, Malibu rum, chambord, splash of pineapple and orange juice, served straight up, with 10% of the proceeds going to the Aquarium.

·      Rusty’s Surf Ranch premieres the Rubyfish Red: Absolut Ruby Red Vodka, white grapefruit juice and grenadine, served in a souvenir Rusty’s glass. Mention the Aquarium’s anniversary and receive 10 percent off the check.

·     Mariasol Restaurant will offer a 10% discount on all food (not alcohol) for all those who mention the Aquarium’s anniversary.

Many thanks to our 10th Anniversary Party Partners!

As we commemorate a decade operating our Aquarium, we’re highlighting our history, previewing our plans for the NEXT 10 years and encourage all to celebrate with us.

If you haven’t already, come visit our Aquarium, located beach level at the Santa Monica Pier, just below the carousel. Join us the first weekend of March to celebrate our 10-year anniversary!

To Have and to Hold

To Have coverMy second novel, To Have and to Hold, is going to be published as an e-book in less than 2 weeks, on 8 May, and then in paperback on June 19. That’s both incredibly exciting – it feels as though having a second book in print might just give me membership of the elusive Proper Author club, but also rather scary because it means I’m about to embark upon the part of my job I like least – actually trying to persuade people to go out and buy the book!

Of course, that’s not entirely, or even primarily my responsibility (thank goodness). There’s a fantastic team of creative, talented and enthusiastic professionals at Hodder who do all the hard work, but I do have to do my share of sidling into local bookshops and murmuring inaudibly “Hi, my name’s Helen, I’ve umm, written an, erm, book, and it’s erm, well, coming out quite soon. Is there any chance, I mean I know there probably isn’t, and you’re busy and umm well, don’t worry about it…” at which point they probably look slightly bemused and point out that they don’t actually work there, and I go even redder in the face, and turn tail and run. Or something like that.

In all seriousness, I do find the publicity part incredibly shy-making, even though it’s integral to the whole process – after all, there’s not much point me writing if no-one ever reads what I’ve written. Many geniuses are never discovered in their own lifetime, but a) I am not anything remotely approaching a genius, and b) I have very little interest in post-humous success, but a strong desire for people to read and hopefully enjoy what I’ve written right now. And then, you know, tell me. Needy, me?

At one point it seemed as though getting published would be the pinnacle of success and achievement, but, as with many things in life, when you reach what you thought was the pinnacle it turns out to be a mere plateau, and you can see the summit still way, way out of reach above you. This time last year, in my naivety, I had no idea that even getting stocked in a big bookshop like Waterstones, or a supermarket, was so hard. But thinking about it, it makes sense. There are hundreds of books published each year in my genre alone, there is no physical way they could all get shelf space.

Of course, e-books have changed things slightly, but even these sales depend on people knowing about it in the first place. Which is where that much talked about ‘word of mouth’ comes in. So, here’s my plea – if you enjoyed Two for Joy, or like reading my blog, then please, pretty please, do tell people about it, tell them about To Have and to Hold coming out, post a review on Amazon or Goodreads.

And, just to whet your appetite for To Have and to Hold, here is the cover blurb created by my fabulous editor:

From the outside, Ella has the happy marriage, the cute kids and the comfortable home – inside, she craves something more. But giving in to temptation will stir up a whole heap of trouble . . .

Imogen’s relationship with Pete was once fun and carefree but since they’ve become parents, everything is different. Then an accident provides the catalyst for a life-changing decision.

Fifteen-year-old Phoebe is miserable at home and at school. And now her dad, who was always her ally, seems completely distracted by something – or someone. Maybe it’s time Phoebe took a stand, and took control of her own life.

As Ella, Imogen and Phoebe contemplate taking the biggest risk of their lives, marriages, families and friendships hang in the balance. Should they take the leap, or will they risk losing everything?

Beneficiary Designations

More... Share to Twitter Share to Facebook

When you name HMS as a beneficiary of your retirement plan, donor-advised fund, or life insurance policy, you help to secure the School's future without impacting your current assets.

Retirement Plans

Preserve the full value of your retirement plan assets when you donate them to Harvard Medical School. When you leave these assets to heirs, estate and federal income taxes can consume up to 70 percent.

  • Use assets from your IRA, 401(K), 403(B), Keogh, TIAA-CREF, tax-deferred annuity, or qualified pension or profit-sharing plan
  • Save taxes for the family

To name or change a beneficiary, simply contact the administrator of the IRA or retirement plan for a change of beneficiary form. If you would like to name HMS as beneficiary, decide what percentage of the plan's value (1–100 percent) you would like us to receive and name the "President and Fellows of Harvard College," for the benefit of Harvard Medical School, along with the stated percentage on the beneficiary form. Then return the form to the administrator of the plan. In some cases, a waiver must be signed by your spouse.

Read about someone who named HMS as beneficiary of his retirement plan.

Donor-Advised Funds

Control the destiny of your donor-advised fund by designating Harvard Medical School as an account beneficiary.

Life Insurance

Ensure that HMS receives a certain amount when you pass by naming Harvard Medical School as the beneficiary of your life insurance policy. HMS may even agree to become the owner of the policy, qualifying you for an annual income tax deduction each time you pay a premium.

Digital transformation is no longer just a technological change—it’s a cultural one. It is about aligning your organisation with customer behaviors, needs, and wants at every step of their purchasing journey.

The importance of reaching the right person with the right message at the right time cannot be underestimated for both brand awareness and long term loyalty. By 2018, Gartner predicts that B2B firms with effective personalisation will outsell their competitors without this capability by 30%.

Popimedia, in partnership with Hootsuite, presents this free one-day event where a team of experts will be sharing tools for best practice in personalisation and intelligent marketing services.

During this free one-day seminar you’ll discover:

  • How to use intelligent marketing services to reach and retain customers
  • How customer behavior has shifted and how your organisation can adapt
  • What mobile first really means
  • Three current digital transformation trends that you need to embrace immediately

Party Snacks: Stove-Top Toasted Garbanzos

22 Apr

(Happy Earth Day, everyone! I am not trying to ignore it, nor am I not cooking at all at home, but I have had so many professional and personal events in the past week that I admit to not doing much new or innovative in the kitchen. I organized and moderated two events on campus; was the keynote speaker for an annual gala of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese, Metro NY chapter – what a terrific group of people!; — plus my teaching responsibilities; my son — we just went to a performance of Peter and the Wolf today in NYC and had to negotiate around the rain and the E line being nonoperational- ick!; the dictionary; which should be available this week as an e-book on Amazon and at the Apple store, more on that later;…in short, I have been up to my neck in it! However, I’ve always got something in my back pocket to tell you about, and here it is. Simple and basic, but delicious. And more excitement later in the week as I catch my breath!)

This is a nifty stove-top snack that is relatively — actually quite, very, absolutely – healthy. Except for the part where it gets addictive and people starting pulling the bowl towards themselves and not sharing (Yes, that was me). It can actually get kind of ugly…you might want individual little ramekins as a preventative measure.

Thanks to Beth for the inspiration and Ailish for the fearless cumin seasoning! I think you will like the Indian inflections in this one, but you could go completely Mediterranean as well.

For an oven-roasted version click here.

Stove-Top Toasted Garbanzo Snack

1 pint presoaked chick-peas*, patted dry (or a 28 oz. can of chick peas, rinsed, drained and patted dry)

generous gratings of salt and pepper (Mediterranean seasoned sea salt blend is really good here)

2 or more heaping Tbs cumin and garam masala (or other spice powder blend that you like)

Heat a heavy skillet on medium high until quite hot. Add chick peas and seasonings and toast until starting to scorch, , at least ten minutes, stirring or tossing very frequently. When toasted all around, adjust seasoning, pour into a bowl and serve as a party snack or accompaniment to cocktails (as you might serve peanuts) for two to four people.

*To soak garbanzos from dry to get a pint, rinse and pick over about 10 oz of dry. Place in a bowl with a tsp salt and abundant water (to cover by several inches). In the morning, change the water. In the afternoon, drain the chick peas and rinse. Place in a pot with water to cover, bring to a boil (scraping the foam off the top) and then simmer at a gentle bubble for an hour or until desired texture is reached. You will never get the same softness as canned, but is that what you really want?

    ¡Qué rico Natalia!
    Oye tengo una consulta en mi post de hoy para ti a ver si me la aclaras… 😉

  2. Tammy April 23, 2012 at 7:36 am #

    This is a great idea and I have a bunch of dried garbanzos on hand just waiting for a cause.

  3. Mad Dog April 23, 2012 at 1:59 am #

    Excellent – I wouldn’t have thought of doing this and it sounds lovely. I’m in Barcelona at present and there’s not shortage of garbanzos here 😉

Talk foodie to me, baby...
