Years later, I went to Baylor graduating with an Interior Design degree and Brent graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point as an officer. By God’s grace, I married that boy of my dreams and became a military wife and later mom of two children. Both of our children are adopted, just like their mom. Between military and corporate moves we were moving about every two or three years until we landed back in Texas and fell in love with Celina. Opening ANNIE JACK on Celina’s square in March of 2016 meant putting down roots and becoming part of the community. We are a lifestyle boutique offering a mix of home, fashion, and local artisanry. We believe every person is created with divine value. If you are in the Celina area come visit us. You can shop, visit, have a drink from our espresso bar, and relax in the courtyard.

She’s soft, smart, loving, and praying; she finds some happiness. Jack is a loner. He likes his life that way, and work has always been his number one priority. Watch what happens when grumpy Jack meets sweet, loving Annie. No Cheating. Chapter 1. I down my beer and take a deep breath. I hope I can make it through this night without fucking strangling somebody. “I have no idea why you choose this restaurant every month for your little get-togethers. We live in a city with great choices. I mean, this place is fine, but if they don’t start updating soon, they are going to be left behind. This restaurant is way down at the bottom of places I’d choose.” Ben nudges my knee under the table. He doesn’t need to worry about me losing my shit with her. He needs to be more concerned about me losing it with her husband, Stephen, for bringing her to our monthly dinner. Ben chimes in, “You’re right, Cherie, we do have great restaurants in the city. What is everyone having tonight?” Ben, my little brother, forever the peacemaker, the teacher, and the mediator is going to make sure we make it through dinner tonight with his best friend, Stephen, and his bitch wife. Why Stephen brought her to The Stardust is anybody’s guess. I’m used to Stephen, he and Ben have been best friends since their first year at college, so I can tolerate his bullshit. He must be on his wife’s never-ending shit list. Stephen can barely stand to be around her after twenty years of marriage. He knows I can’t stand her, hell, he knows Gentle Ben can’t stand her. “I’m going to get their fish and chips,” Stephen says as he practically downs his Guinness beer. He refuses to make eye contact with me. “For Pete’s sake, Stephen, you’re in your forties. Don’t order all that grease and wash it down with beer all night. We should get the salmon or tuna.” I watch Stephen’s face turn red. Good, he fucked up our dinner this month, serves him right. I look for the waitress. I’m switching to something stronger than beer if I have to listen to Cherie going on about Stephen’s existence. I motioned for a waitress; she’s not ours, but I don’t care. I watch her approach. I haven’t seen her in here before. “Hi, how can I help you?” she asks with a bit of a southern drawl. I look at Stephen, “Johnny Walker Platinum for me. Stephen, you need something stronger?” I can’t keep the scowl off my face looking at him. He knows I hate being around people in general, especially his fucking bitch of a wife. “Hi, I’ll have another beer,” Ben raises his empty Guinness. “Are you our waitress? I’ve never seen you in here before.” He gives her his golden boy smile. I roll my eyes. Jesus Christ, I don’t know why I even bother going out once a month with these two. I tap the table to get Cherie’s attention. “Are you good?” I glance at the wine in her hand. We need to get this night moving and over with quickly. She gives me one her bitchy looks. “I think I’m good until our waitress comes back to take our order, Jack.” “I think this is Becky’s table. I’ll give her your drink orders.

  • The Pedagogy of Television
    To educate and entertain: the pedagogy of television Ava Laure Parsemain A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of the Arts & Media Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences September 2015 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Parsemain First name: Laure Other name/s: Ava Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: The School of the Arts and Media Faculty: The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Title: To educate and entertain: the pedagogy of television Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Many media scholars agree that television can be used as an informal site of teaching and learning. However, little is known about how television teaches. This thesis explores the pedagogy of television by investigating the processes by which television teaches and viewers learn. It addresses the following questions: how does television teach through production techniques and textual features? How do viewers learn from television? To investigate televisual pedagogy as a communicative process, this study links producers' discourses, audiovisual textuality and audience responses. By connecting production, text and reception, it shows how teaching and learning interact in the context of televisual communication. Taking into account the distinction between public service and commercial television and the traditional demarcation between programmes that are explicitly produced to educate and those that are produced primarily to entertain, it examines the production, textual features, and reception of two Australian programmes: Who Do You Think You Are?, a documentary seri es broadcast on the public service channel SBS, and Home and Away, a soap opera broadcast on the commercial Seven Network.

  • Popular Culture Popular Culture Includes a Wide Range of Activities That a Large Number of People in a Society Engage In
    [ only] Unit 3 The globalising world (1945–the present) Popular culture Popular culture includes a wide range of activities that a large number of people in a society engage in. Since World War II, Australia has developed strong industries in four key areas of popular culture: music, film, television and sport. Television and rock’n’roll music both arrived in 1956 and have had a strong influence on all groups within Australian society – this continues today. Sport has retained an important role in Australian life and has become closely tied to our sense of identity. The Australian film industry has also emerged to tell uniquely Australian stories that entertain and inform. While British, American and, more recently, European and Asian cultures have influenced us, Australia has developed its own distinct culture. Music, film, television and sport have not only become ways of reflecting who we are, but have also enabled Australia to engage with the rest of the world. chapter Source 1 ‘Hello possums’ – one of Australia’s many contributions to international popular13 culture is Barrie Humphries as Dame Edna Everage. 13A 13B 13C How did developments in How have the music, filmDRAFT and What contributions has popular culture influence Australia television industries in Australia Australia made to international Insert obook assess logo: after World War II? changed since World War II? popular culture?
