Debra Ann Pawlak=RINGING UP OSCAR, THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO FOUNDED THE ACADEMY
ABOUT DEBRA ANN PAWLAK…
Debra Ann has been a movie lover ever since she can remember. Her professional writing career, however, didn’t begin until 2000.
Most recently, she combined the two with a book called Bringing Up Oscar, The Men and Women Who Founded the Academy about the 36 founders of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. It’s now available in hardcover, paperback and ebook versions. Bringing Up Oscar was named runner-up in the non-fiction category of the 2011 Hollywood Book Festival and took first place in the History: Media/Entertainment category of the USA Best Books 2011 Awards.
In the past, Debra Ann was a regular contributor to two on-line entertainment magazines based in Los Angeles. Her articles were designed to entertain and teach the readers something they might not have known before. Debra Ann has profiled a variety of personalities, including French entertainer Mistinguet, legendary outlaw Belle Starr and Civil War hero Sarah Emma Edmonds who enlisted in the Union Army disguised as a man. In addition, She has covered intriguing events like the 1914 sinking of the Empress of Ireland in the St. Lawrence Seaway, the 1927 Bath School massacre in Michigan and the rum-running antics of Detroit’s own mobsters, The Purple Gang, during Prohibition.
Debra Ann has also written multiple Hollywood history articles about the fascinating world of film-making and the nearly forgotten personalities who, at one time, held the world spellbound. Among those early Hollywood figures were sexy Clara Bow who ushered in the Jazz Age, blacklisted funny man Fatty Arbuckle, who was accused of murder, as well as Tinseltown’s first super couple, Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. and his wife, Mary Pickford, who defined Hollywood royalty.
Debra Ann also authored a book, Farmington and Farmington Hills, for Arcadia Publishing’s ‘Making of America’ series. This book details the history of the two local cities and includes a multitude of pictures, some of which are over 100 years old. In addition, she has also contributed to Chicken Soup for the Mother and Daughter Soul, as well as, Chicken Soup for the Father and Daughter Soul. Debra Ann’s work has also appeared in The Writer, Aviation History and Michigan History.

I started From the Deck Chair in September 2009 because I was disappointed in how many cruise sites focused on the same ships doing the same old itineraries. There’s a sea of unique, interesting and fantastic ships out there that are deserving of as much attention as the big newsmakers like Oasis of the Seas and Norwegian Epic.
I also started this site as a way to share my cruise photography and interest in the interior design of cruise ships, which I am extremely passionate about, with a wide array of readers.
Believe it or not, I still pay for most of my cruises out of my own pocket. From time to time, however, I have been fortunate to have sailed as a guest of various cruise lines in order to better experience first-hand a particular ship, itinerary, or feature.
It is a responsibility I take very seriously.
No one ever tells me what to write, or how to write it, nor am I ever paid to write something. Sometimes, I do make the occasional typo or mistake, which I do correct (usually, readers spot it long before I do!)
Believe me, I have a great time on any cruise – but unlike most passengers, I am up at 5:00am most mornings taking photographs, in order to showcase public rooms when most people are still asleep. I make a point to experience as much as I can, and then write my thoughts and observations down that day. Which means I spend a good two-to-three hours each evening with my laptop open, writing.
Which means I’m not just cruising, I’m also working.
When I dislike something, I try to make every effort to offer constructive criticism. Simply coming back here and writing “it sucked, I’m never sailing (insert cruise line here) again!” doesn’t do anyone any good. If the situation is particularly worrisome, I try to involve the cruise line in order to get their opinion. Sometimes, bad things happen on good cruises, and it is important to get all the facts first.
On the flip side, when I find something I am passionate about, I tend to champion it. I make no apologies for this. If I am excited about an itinerary, ship, or line, I’ll shout it from the rooftops.
One thing that has always driven me nuts about mainstream “print” travel writing is that there has to be an angle. Often, this deals with food or wine and concentrates very little on the cruise experience itself. Articles like that bore me very easily, and I make every attempt to concentrate on the actual cruise.
And isn’t that what we’re all here for – the cruise experience?
Stay tuned to From the Deck Chair, where the focus is always on the most important aspect of your cruise: your ship.

Far removed from the hustle and bustle of New York City, born and raised in upstate New York, is the unlikely starting point for one of Wall Street’s most sincere and unique individuals
Christopher Markowski has carried the titles of author, investment banker, equity analyst, muckraker, all around trouble-maker, and most importantly consumer advocate. He is the founder of the financial planning firm Markowski Investments, an institution that provides the highest level of financial planning to all people regardless of their net-worth. Christopher is the antithesis of what Wall Street has become; he believes that financial planning is a profession, not a vehicle for selling as many ridiculous financial products as possible. His clear-cut, honest approach is in complete contrast with the fabrication and deception that individual investors are exposed to every day.
Christopher’s history on Wall Street reads like a novel with suspense, intrigue, and corruption at the highest levels. Chris started his career by taking a job at an up-and-coming investment firm. Within two years, under his guidance, his initiatives helped increase sales by 1,500% and made the firm #2 on “INC Magazine’s” fastest growing privately held companies list. However, while working and spending significant time in the same water as some of Wall Street’s most notorious “sharks”, Christopher discovered how corrupt Wall Street could be. The fact that so many executives with fancy college degrees and glowing resumes had the capacity, with no remorse, to scam their customers and the public at large, was mind-boggling. The “respected” firm that he helped build was nothing more than an opportunity for insiders to get rich and investors to lose their shirts. Instead of accepting the culture of gluttony and deceit like many others on Wall Street, Christopher went on to blow the cover off the charade, exposing the countless instances of lies, greed and manipulation. Christopher exposed the villains and facilitated in bringing down the very firm that he helped build, sacrificing millions for honesty and integrity.
After that eye opening, life changing experience, Christopher dedicated himself to making sure Americans received the truth regarding what was really happening behind the scenes on Wall Street; not the fabrications and half-truths that the big firms and CNBC were churning out on a daily basis. Christopher’s task in “analyzing the analysts” has made him the chief thorn in the side of the Wall Street elite. Never afraid to take on a giant, Christopher has gone head to head with the large brokerage houses, the dot-com scams, Enron, WorldCom, the real estate bubble and corrupt politicians. He has warned America about the largest scandals and corruption years before they made headlines. Always fighting against the lies, greed and manipulation that scarred him, THE WATCHDOG ON WALL STREET has one concern, one focus only; to serve the individual investor.
Christopher is the editor of the investor advocate newsletter THE MARKOWSKI QUARTERLY that is read by thousands worldwide.
Christopher has taken his vision of honesty, and equality to the national airwaves with the groundbreaking radio show, The Watchdog ON WALL STREET: Now in its tenth year of syndication.

“WE ARE SICK AND TIRED OF SEEING OUR FELLOW AMERICANS GETTING RIPPED OFF BY WALL STREET. WE WILL DO EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO BRING INTEGRITY BACK TO THE SEWER THAT HAS BECOME THE FINANCIAL WORLD. THE WATCHDOG ON WALL STREET IS THE BEST DEFENSE AGAINST ALL THE CORRUPTION THAT INDIVIDUAL INVESTORS FACE EVERYDAY”. CHRISTOPHER MARKOWSKI Date Recorded: 01/18/2012
