Frequently asked questions
Q - What dance style should I try?
A - If you are new to dancing all the options can be confusing. Generally you will know what you want to get out of a dance class: Do you want to improve your fitness? Meet new people? Learn some cool moves? Improve your confidence? Try something new? We have classes that offer something for all these goals. Just give us a call/text, send us an email or come into the studio to discuss your requirements and we will help you choose the right option for you. We recommend giving a class a go to find out if it suits you. You can try our classes for a casual rate.
Q - Do I need to bring a partner?
A - You don't have to bring a partner, as everyone is moved around during the class. This means that everyone will get to dance with a partner at some point.
Q - What do i wear?
A - Depends on the occasion:
at classes: We recommend anything from casual attire to gym or dance wear. Comfortable clothes that don't restrict movement. Most people come straight from work and are in their work clothes, others wear jeans or simply casual clothes.
social dancing: Comfort is key! Wear clothes that will allow full range of movement and that you don't have to stop and adjust every 30 seconds! Clubs are usually smart casual. Girls, if you are wearing something sleeveless, you will want to wear something with shoulder straps to avoid accidents! "Tube" like tops can become a problem!
A - Dress to impress, but keep it comfortable. Here are some guidelines for navigating your first social event
Q - What Shoes are the best?
A - Guys: Sneakers are OK for 1st or 2nd class, but not ideal. From there on, try wear smooth soles, preferably suede or leather. Avoid rubber soles that will grip the floor. Best to wear enclosed shoes to protect your feet on the dance floor or you might regret it when a 3 inch heel comes your way!
A - Ladies: No thongs or sandles. Runners are ok for 1st or 2nd class, but not ideal. Its really important ladies to have a smooth sole, preferably suede. Don't wear anything that will grip the floor. Make sure it is snug on your feet and will keep your heel and ankle in place. Keep in mind that you will be turning, therefore your feet need to have stability and feel secure. This will prevent twists and sprains.
Comfort is important ladies, if they are not comfortable to walk around in, they are not going to be comfy dancing in! If you wish to wear flat shoes, jazz shoes or dance sneakers is recommended.
Professional dance shoes make a huge difference if you dance on regular basis. Here is a list of stockists that you can purchase dance shoes from online:

Shoe size help:
Footwear sizes and shapes vary from brand to brand, so we recommend measuring your bare foot to ensure that you select the correct size. To do this, simply follow the steps listed below:
Place a piece of paper on a hard floor with its edge up against a wall.
Stand up and lean forward, putting your weight onto the foot you are going to measure. Place your bare foot flat on the paper with the heel against the wall.
Push a straight edge/book up against the front of your toes. Mark a line following the edge of the book.
Ensure that you repeat steps 1-3 with both feet, as it is quite common for one foot to be longer than the other.
Use a ruler to measure the length from the wall (or the edge of the paper) to the mark of the book edge. You need to be as accurate as possible; there should be less than 1cm variance between each size.
Add 0.5 to 0.8 cm to measurement to allow for growth/space.
Choose the shoe that is the closest to your measurements. If your bare foot measurement falls between the lengths in our sizing help chart, it is usually best to order the next size up.
* Although this method of measuring will get you close to finding your shoe size, each individual may be different. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a perfect fit using this method – it should only be used as a rough indication.
Q - What music can I practice to?
A - Practicing to the correct music is going to be very important and could make a big difference in your understanding and development for salsa dancing as there are many different styles and flavours of Salsa music out there.
A - Below we have selected a few songs that are appropriate for beginners who are starting out with Salsa dancing. The song have a good tempo, strong beat and clear instruments which makes it easy to pick up the timing.

Q - If I miss a class during the 8-week term, can I make it up?
A - When you sign up for a 8-week term of classes, it is your responsibility to come to all the classes. We cannot guarantee that you will be able to make up for any classes that you may miss. However, we do recap the last week's moves at the beginning of each class in our 8-week term. If you feel that you need extra help to catchup, you can book a private lesson which will get you back up to speed quickly.
A - The other option is if you know with the 8-week term that you may miss the odd class, it may be best to pay the casual rate of $10.00 per class. This gives you more flexibility (instead of paying for the full 10-week).
Q - How many people are there in the class?
A - The number of people in the classes varies from week to week, on average between 15-20 students but they can reach up to 30 plus.
Q - What is the average age in the classes?
A - Our classes are for adults and we have people of ages in our classes from about 15 to 70 – dancing is not an age specific activity. On average our students are between 18 and 40 years old.
Q - Can I pay as i go or pay for one class to see if i like it?
Yes you can do this, however it is cheaper to pay for the 8-week class upfront. If you are unsure about committing to a full term, you are welcome to try out the class first and then if you decide to continue to you can choose either to pay for the full 8-week class or pay per week with our casual rate.
Q - Can I come and watch a class?
A - You can come and watch a few minutes of a class, but we recommend that you actually try a class, as participating is much more fun and really gives you an idea about whether the class suits you.
Q - How much does it cost?
A - 8-week term class - $65.00 (singles) or $120.00 (couples) or casual rate $10.00 per week.
Q - How do I pay for classes?
A - You can pay either by Cash, Cheque (made out to Salsa Groove) or Internet Banking. Our bank account details are: SALSA GROOVE, 03-1710-0073700-017 (reference is your name). NB: Eftpos not accepted.
Q - How do I register for a class?
A - Give us a call/text or send us an email firstname.lastname@example.com or you can register with us at class on the first night.
Q - I missed the first week, can I still join in week 2?
A - You can join any of our 8-week classes in week 2 of the term. We recap the last week's moves in each class you will catch up if you miss the first week.
Q - When can I start?
A - You can join open level and casual classes at any time. 8-week term classes can be joined up to week 2. If you are unsure about joining a class, please contact us and we will advise you of the best options available.
Q - Where is Salsa Groove Marlborough?
A - Harlequins Rugby Clubrooms, Lansdowne Park, Lansdowne Street, Mayfield, Blenheim (see map on Home page)
Q - Where can I park?
A - There is plenty of off-street parking in the main area of Lansdowne Park (main entrance next to Dobsons Cafe, we are at the black building in the middle (Lansdowne Street side).
Q - What level should I try?
Beginner – try this level if you have little or no experience. Our beginner classes are for total beginners, no experience necessary!
Open level – open to all levels, the instructor will adapt to the average level in the class, anyone can join.
Improver – This level may suit you if you have been to a few beginner classes and feel you are ready for something slightly more challenging.
Intermediate – At this level you will learn more complex moves and combinations.
If you are unsure of the level you are at, you can try different classes on a casual basis and decide which level suits you best. Also you are welcome to consult our instructors as to what level is suitable for you.
How Can I Get More Out Of My Group Salsa Classes?
1) Have an open mind.
Many times we walk into a class feeling we already have most of what is being taught, but that we just need one thing ( a new step, syncopation, body move, timing etc etc). When this happens we tend to only hear what we want to hear, not necessarily what is being taught. Many teachers use patterns as a means to teach a skill, that skill would be the primary thing to learn in that class, not the pattern.
2) Be in the right level.
Having been a competitor, a teacher and a student for nearly 20 years, I can still say that I can still learn from another teachers beginning class. For example, just because you know the skill that is being taught doesn't mean that you know everything about that skill or that you can't improve the way you use it or that you can't learn another way of doing it for different dancing circumstances. Also, different schools have different numbering systems. (School A's level 4 may be equal to School B's level 2) When in doubt take the more basic class. The key here is: Upper level classes for quantity, beginning classes for quality.
3) Be on time.
If you are in class from the beginning you'll obviously have a better understanding than if you come in the middle of an explanation. Besides it's not fair to the teacher or the rest of the class to have to keep repeating things for the latecomers.
4) During the class practice time, practice the pattern that is being taught.
During class practice time, the teacher is watching. We want to see if most of the people are getting what we are teaching, if we need to teach another facet of the material, or if the majority is ready to build on what we have done so far. While you may feel "oh, I've got it", in watching you the teacher may see that you missed an certain point (see #1).
5) Encourage your partners.
On occasion we have a newer dancer tell us that one of the intermediates gets frustrated with the beginners. While you are working on your dancing, be aware of what emotion that you may be projecting, beginning dancers tend to take it more personal. If you are frustrated with yourself, they may think it is them that you are frustrated with. Let's face it, having lots of partners to dance with can be a lot of fun, especially come party-time. The more comfortable people are, the more often they will come. Everybody has fun. The key here: Remember your roots.
6) Come as often as possible.
Group teachers in schools (as opposed to nightclubs) usually progress each class in a series. In a school we can assume that you'll come regularly, so we can teach things knowing we have next week and the week after to build, improve and flesh out what we're starting this week. This ties into #7.
7) Take privates.
The group classes are a great place to learn patterns, but if you want to really understand and polish your dancing, privates are an important part of your class schedule. To be honest, some things really cannot be taught in group classes, so some "secrets" can only be fully taught in private lessons because we can get you to "feel" it. This ties to #8.
8) Get as much practice as possible.
Get to know your classmates (see #5). They are built in practice partners. Come early to class, stay after class, come to parties, go to clubs....practice as often as possible. The formula I was one told by a coach: there should be 5 hours of practice between each class. While you may not be able to to that much, obviously the more better.
9) Have proper tools.
Shoes. You don't have to have dance shoes, but let's put it this way: at least with dance shoes you are eliminating one potential roadblock to your learning. Properly taken care of, a good pair of shoes will last a long time. It's like putting good tires on your car. If you are investing in your dancing, invest in shoes. If you choose not to have dance shoes at least get shoes with thin flexible soles and ladies pick shoes that stay on your feet without flapping around. Clothing should be cool and comfortable. Please avoid tennis shoes and character or tap shoes.
10) Have fun.
Remember that this is a social activity (see #5 and #8). Remember WHY you walked into your first class. For most people it was to be able to either go out and have fun or the class itself would be fun or both. Also the process of learning guarantees mistakes will happen, if you can laugh about it you really will learn faster than the person stressing over the mistake. Enjoy the learning process.

Day Five -- Rest Day!
I woke up this morning at six thirty for some odd reason and went out on the dock to watch this:
Then I went back to bed. And the rest of the day has pretty much followed along those lines.
Lying around feels SO AMAZING. It also helps that my grandparents slaved away before we arrived to fill the house with unbelievable amounts of food including an entire roast chicken with stuffing. After four days of sweating and blisters and sunburn I feel like a princess! Actually, I haven't done anything particularly princess-like all day unless dancing to Frank Sinatra in the kitchen counts. (And that was after I sampled pretty much every single food item I found in the fridge, because why not?)
Anyway, besides the great tenderness towards the food and the delight at the fact that I was allowed to sleep all day, I feel much the same as I did last night -- and I'd like to say that after the struggle of yesterday on the road, I felt encouraged. The responses I keep getting are just awesome, and I will be ready to get back on the road tomorrow. You can all be assured that I will continue to "work that fanny"! You guys are the best!
While I was gloriously lazing around, my dad decided he needed to bike to town to correct a small difficulty we have encountered in our travels. You see, over the past few days my dad has been using and encouraging me to use some Burt's Bees concoction when our lips get chapped from the sun and wind. I was feverishly putting some on yesterday and wondering why on earth my lips have been feeling so weird when I took the time to look at the container. It was not, in fact, lip balm but some sort of hand lotion that you really aren't supposed to put on your face. Ever. It was really astonishing how quickly my lips deflated to normal size once I started using actual Chapstick.
I was amused and impressed when dad decided it was time for him to go to town (though I was most definitely excited about having a normal face again) because I had absolutely no intentions of abusing my rest day with biking. He didn't seem to mind, and I came to the realization that on this journey, dad is "The Sherpa." I am the over priveleged white guy who can barely struggle up the mountain, and he carries the heavy stuff and scampers along no problem. Hence, he is now The Sherpa for the rest of this trip, and will be referenced as such.
Now -- unfortunately I have a very pressing arrangement this evening, and it is watching "Risky Business" with The Sherpa because he made some reference on the bike a few days ago and I didn't get it -- so I will say goodnight!
Thank you for reading,
P.S. A good family friend of ours (the father of my littlest fan, Henry) texted me a picture of a Yellow Car, and The Sherpa and I are currently engaged in hot debate as to whether or not I get to count it. The official Yellow Car Roster will be posted tomorrow with the result!
P.P.S. Special bonus - today I am Pippin!

Nina Toft's Pursuit of the Unfamous
Bill Jeffries
Does anyone love the paparazzi? Even avid readers of the tabloids who support
the work of the paparazzi through their purchases of newsp
apers and magazines
surely realize that the work they do is invasive and often
reprehensible. In the UK
people have been more critical of their activity follo
wing the notorious car crash
that killed Princess Diana. Yet, since then, a paparazzo
has had an intentional
collision with Catherine Zeta-Jones to force her out of
her car. What the
paparazzi do in their profession is outlined on a Web
site devoted to their craft as
"the hunt", described as follows: "Paparazzi work a lot l
ike private detectives.
Each paparazzo culls a network of informers to help keep ta
bs on celebrity
targets. These informers can be people who work in busin
esses frequented by
celebrities, such as restaurants, shops or salons. The papar
azzo often pays for
this information. In many cases, people who work for the
star might be bribed to
divulge the whereabouts of their employer." Not a pre
tty picture, especially from
the point of view of the prey. Nina Toft's video work
"The one I think I am......"
plays off of the activities of the paparazzi, but in virt
ually every respect she
inverts the intentions, the tactics and the overall strate
gies that paparazzi take for
Nina Toft is originally from Norway and now lives and wo
rks in Edinburgh.
one I think I am......"
is a single screen presentation of a confrontational
minute video Toft shot in an Edinburgh railway station.
She is a 'hunter', but her
dogged pursuit is not of the rich and famous, but of pe
ople waiting for the trains
that will take them to work. Her subjects, once they reali
ze what she is up to, are
surprised and sometimes dismayed or irritated at being 'se
lected' before they
have had any warning, especially so early in the day, and
perhaps when they are
not looking their best. Hence, Toft's unexpected attent
ion to unwary commuters
may not bring her subjects any pleasure. But
"The one I think I am......"
references the invasive presence of surveillance cameras in co
society at the same time that it extends the strategies o
f street photographers
and others who have made surreptitious photographs, such a
s those taken on
the New York subway, into the realm of moving images. Th
e dismay of her
subjects usually fades away; after the initial surprise, th
ey often seem to accept
Toft's invasion of their privacy. Her camera is just one o
f a million in the UK and,
even though surveillance is still a serious issue, the collect
ive acquiescence of
the UK populace to the presence of surveillance cameras ha
s, in a sense,
prepared the way for artists wielding their more selecti
ve, but more obvious and
visible lenses.
The structure of
"The one I think I am......"
is partially determined by the
behaviour of Toft's subjects. The pursuit of her lens is
relentless while the subject
is unaware of her gaze. When they engage her lens, she
gives them enough
video rope to express their displeasure or surprise, but,
when they turn away one
last time, she too turns to the next subject. As her subje
cts avert their eyes to
avoid Toft's camera, the artist, having approached her
prey, having seen what
there was to see, then avoids them only in order to rep
eat the experiment with
another "one who thinks they are". Her approaches are m
et by a full range of
psychological responses, from avoidance to frustration and ra
ge – a perfect
mirror of the daily approaches and avoidances that provid
e the basic rhythm of
humanity's shuffling through the world.
There are aspects of Toft's piece that, when combined,
make it a unique work,
although there are echoes of conceptual practices such as Do
uglas Huebler's
impromptu meetings in some of his
ariable Pieces
. The situation at the train
station is completely familiar to everyone. We have all kno
wn the 'waiting' and
the 'arrival', the vagaries of schedules, and the minor
triumph of one's train
actually coming on time. Toft's subjects are existential a
ctors in the daily
Beckettonian drama of getting out of bed and going to
work. It seems almost
unfair to the subjects to capture their morning reality,
yet, documentary is not, or
should not be, limited to the times of day that are con
venient for art; the world
operates on its own schedule and there seems to be a mo
dest proposal in this
work that artists should work on the world's schedule if t
hey really care about
what's happening.
"The one I think I am......"
there are several tropes that Toft invokes as
cinematic punctuation marks, one of which is trains cutting
across the lens's field
of vision. It is only when seeing the train enter the
frame that we realize she is
shooting from the other side of a set of train tracks, a
nd hence, that her
'confrontation' is visual rather than immediately physica
l. The risk of a
confrontation remains, however, as an angry subject could e
asily cross platforms
to attack the photographer. This is a response that many p
aparazzi have
experienced, to say nothing of the violence suffered b
y many documentary
photographers while on assignment. Toft has not been th
e victim of any violent
attacks, but that what she is doing is similarly provocative
, and risks similar
Nina Toft's camera
invasive, but
"The one I think I am......"
is also an
extremely tender video that, in its gentleness, is a cr
itique of the aggressive
behaviour of both the paparazzi and documentarians. Th
e surprising thing about
this work is that its quiet elegance, combined with its a
pparent filling of a gap in
the history of recent video practice, leaves one feelin
g that we have either been
there or seen this before. Yet, so far as I know, no art
ist has previously made a
work that probes the condition of the individual in t
he social world in just this way.
Andy Warhol's
Screen Tests
come to mind, but Toft's uninvited attentions create
a 'screen test' of an entirely different sort. Similari
ties with the photographic work
of Ian Wallace and video work of Roy Arden will not be
lost on Vancouver
viewers. Arden's recent video
extends the photo-fictional series of 'heroes
in the street' that Ian Wallace has created since 1986
into the realm of a different

You know that feeling, when you just got your new phone and you want to keep it as tidy as you can, organize all your apps in folders and keep your camera roll for the best selfies only (strictly one of each). So ever since I've got my Iphone 7 Plus, I have been obsessed with it and spent way more time than I should. I am so in to downloading wallpapers and making my phone look all cute and pretty at the moment.

Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless foundation
I don't talk much about high end makeup because truthfully, I don't really use it. I'm sure there are tons of gems to be discovered, but I think you can find really great products at the drugstore. When it get's to foundations, we all know the list is endless for drugstore picks. I have my few favourites I talked about on my blog (here, here and here) already and I will be adding another one to my 'must have' make up product list!
What I have been watching on Netflix
And my favourite season finally arrived! Oh Autumn, I love you so much... You are so romantic, dreamy and full of colors! But we've all noticed, days got shorter and those chilly evenings likes to stay for a little bit longer. I'm not complaining though, I love spending time in my PJ's, whilst wrapped up in super soft blanket! Who doesn't, right?

My top ideas for Christmas presents*
The sun is slowly creeping away from us, the darker nights are drawing in, and that means winter is fast approaching. For all you busy modern women out there, I'm sure you'll already be starting to think about Christmas planning, present buying and the many stresses that the festive season brings. Don't panic though! When it comes to picking up the perfect gifts, today's post should give you a few pointers.
Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay Mask - World's most powerful facial?
When it get's to my skin care it's not that many products I could talk about. I am not the one to experiment with different stuff. I have very sensitive, acne prone skin and I really have to watch what I put on my face. So I like to stick with the products I know it will work for me.
Perfect boots for autumn
I have to be honest, I am so over this summer (or whatever that was). As most of you know, England don't really have summers, it's either cloudy and hot or humid and raining. We just don't see the sun that often. And being an autumn kid, I am really looking forward to fall season! That crispy fresh air, cosy evenings at home, burgundy lips and autumn fashion, of course. I'm so excited as high street brands bringing us A/W trends already!
Labels: fashion
L'oreal Cushion: Nude Magique and Glam Bronze
Seems like cushion foundation is everyone's jam right now. This 'cushion trend' coming from Asia side gotten everyone go bananas! All brands are trying to come up with their version, I believe Lancome was the first one of high end brands to bring theirs . But looks like drugstore giants are not staying behind. Today I wanted to talk about L'oreal Cushion Nude Magique foundation and L'Oreal Glam Bronze Cushion Soleil.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams: Obsessed
Ever since NYX launched in UK, I was spending pretty much all of my lunch breaks by one of their stands at Boots. I don't even want to think what damage I've done to my bank account so far...
But anyway, I love NYX products so can't complain. Today I want to talk about their famous Soft Matte Lip Creams. I am slowly building my collection and I am not gonna lie I am planning to get them in all shades. Call me crazy, but they are too good to be left on the shelves.
Spring/Summer lips: MAC edition
Hey beauties!
Who doesn't like a good lip product? Matte lips has been rocking beauty industry and I am not gonna lie, I am a huge fan of good, long lasting mate lispticks. But it's always nice to change things up and go for something different from time to time. As we approaching summer very quickly, I have found myself reaching for glossier lipstick or even a lip gloss more and more often.
Life and holiday memories
Hey everyone!
Some of you might noticed, I haven't been active for a while. And if you have been reading my blog, you probably know that 2016 haven't treated me too well. It seemed like all my life started going down the hill since 1st of Jan. Everything was falling apart and I felt like I am loosing balance with myself.

My high end and drugstore make up wishlist
Hey guys!
Today I was scrolling through different pages, reading about new make up releases and thought to myself 'Hey, I need to make a list of the products I would love to get my hands on'. I have been purchasing drugstore products mostly, because I am strong believer in a drugstore make up.
L.A. Girl PRO.Conceal HD concealer
Since I've started blogging I have learned about so many new, different brands from all around the world. And one of them was L.A. Girl brand. It's an american brand, well known for many different products. But the most raved one has to be their L.A. Girl PRO.Conceal HD concealer.
Hunting for a perfect blazer: Boohoo and Missguided
Blazer is a must have in every girls wardrobe. It's very versatile piece of clothing, which you can wear to create very elegant, super smart or simply casual outfit. I love blazers. It's one of those pieces you can wear all year round. It looks stunning with jeans and a pair of heels, or if I'm in a casual mood I would combine it with a pair of sneakers. And spring is one of those seasons I would wear blazers the most. When the days gets warmer and it's too hot to wear a coat, but it's still too cold to wear short sleeves. I think blazers looks very flattering on all body shapes and hides all imperfections.

New drugstore purchases
I've been trying to stay away from any kind of make up stores, simply because for the past few months I've spent waaaay too much money on it. As a beauty blogger, I love reading posts about new product releases and that is probably the worst thing to do if you can't control your money spending habits.

A little update...
Hello everyone!
Today I thought to write a little bit different post. Some of my readers have been asking about me and where did I disappeared. You might have noticed the lack of posts on my blog, as you only see new entry only once a week.
Victoria's Secret body mists
Hey peeps!
It turned in to tradition, every year I must visit the Airport Duty Free Sale. I save up for few months and then splash out on my favourite perfume. As I am a huge fan of perfumes and any fragranced stuff, so it's kind of a big deal for me.

England was the first place I travelled to overseas. My mum grew up in Liverpool and it was somewhere that I had always wanted to visit. In 2007, my entire family travelled to England to celebrate my Great-Grandmother's 90th Birthday. I was bubbling with excitement and couldn't wait to finally be in England. We also planned day trips to Wales and Ireland and I couldn't wait to check some countries off of my long travel wish list.
It's funny how, when you grow up somewhere, you often don't realize how beautiful it is. I sometimes look around at all the tourists that come to Vancouver and wonder why they wanted to come here. Of all the places in the world, why Vancouver? Then I take a look at my surroundings and I remember what a gorgeous area of the world we live in. My Mum felt the same way when we were travelling back to England. I would always hear negative things about it. When we landed in Manchester, I just couldn't understand why my Mum was talking down England so much. The scenery was gorgeous, the people were friendly, I had a giant smile on my face, and Mum was reminded of just how gorgeous England actually is.
There's something incredibly special about the first place you travel to overseas. It's a feeling that you never forget and a feeling that you never experience again. I'd caught the travel bug and never wanted it to go away.
We started off our vacation in my Mum's hometown, Liverpool. Specifically, Crosby. It was such a cool experience to see where my Mum grew up. Even now, when I visit, it's fun to think "my Mum walked on these exact same streets and went to these exact same places."
Liverpool is a beautiful city filled with art, museums, and, of course, The Beatles landmarks. The Liverpool skyline is impressive, with the Liver Birds standing watch.
As gorgeous as Liverpool is, it's a large modern city that doesn't have the "English charm" that is found in some of the other cities in England. We were able to experience this charm in York. Surrounded by Roman walls, York is a city rich with history. A highlight was seeing the old street named The Shambles. Slanted buildings on either side of the narrow street seem close to falling over at any minute and, yet, they have stood for centuries. Walking the city walls was an eye opening experience. To walk on something that the Romans built, not knowing who had walked on them before, was pretty amazing. York was definitely a highlight of our trip.
The Lake District was also a highlight and is still one of my favourite places to visit in England. As beautiful as our landscape is in British Columbia, there is nothing quite like the picturesque landscape in the Lake District.
While all of the places I've mentioned so far were exciting and beautiful to visit, perhaps one of my most fond memories of my first trip to England was going to Lyme Park aka Pemberley in BBC's version of Pride and Prejudice. It was somewhere that I had always wanted to see. Aside from the rain and getting lost (which led to muddy feet), it was absolutely perfect.
My first trip overseas didn't disappoint and every trip I've taken since then has been incredible. There's always something new to see and explore. Come back next week to read about some more places that I've explored in England.

Morning in Saint Pierre
Day two started with another road trip, this time to the southwestern part of the island to a place called Saint Pierre. The race package pick-up was happening here in the park in front of the old town hall. It took about an hour and a half to progress through the long line-ups of racers. It was a beautiful day though with blue skies, warm sun, and a nice breeze from the ocean.
After I got my race jersey and bag of freebies it was time for some lunch. Louis has the week off school and Marie Pierre had taken work holidays so we were able to make the trips together and they could take me around to these places on the island, which I really appreciated. Sébastien was busy working during the week but would be able to join us on the weekend. For lunch we went to a place on the waterfront. I tried "un filet dorade coryphène avec sauce vanille" a fillet of fish with vanilla sauce. I had never had vanilla with fish before, but it was an interesting taste and I liked it.

Tattoos can be a meaningful or just badass way to decorate your body. But in the hands of teenagers or adults who become very enthusiastic after too many Midori shots, they become permanent sources of shame. Nine brave souls (who either work for Thrillist, or have friends who do) spilled their embarrassing tattoo stories to us below. There's not a single misinterpreted Chinese symbol in the bunch, but there are an alarming number of barnyard animals.
The Flower Dragonfly
"This was the summer of 2010, I was working and living in Wildwood. I had a roommate, it was us two girls in this one-bedroom, I'm not even kidding, like, log cabin. We woke up one morning, and we had been drinking the night before, so I guess we blacked out. I had an itch on my back, and I kept scratching at it. But I had to get to work so I just left. I went home early because it was bothering me and realized I had a tattoo. I was panicking, thinking, 'Do I have anything else on my body?!' Then my roommate called me freaking out because she also had one on her arm.
"We found the receipt and Googled the place -- it was a rickety shack in the middle of the interstate. We don't know how we got there. We definitely didn't drive and there was no extra money charged on our cards for a cab. I do remember being in the tattoo shop, bending over so this guy could tattoo my back, and I was drinking out of my red Solo cup as he did it.
"It was supposed to be a dragonfly but it's like a bunch of flowers in the shape of a dragonfly. I love dragonflies, and I love flowers, separately. I was always debating getting a dragonfly tattoo before that. But now that I have it, I don't know what I was thinking." -- Ang B., 25, social worker
The Ex-Boyfriend Tattoo
"I have my ex-boyfriend's name on the inside of my ring finger. We went and got tattoos together, except he got a fairly large one on his back. We had plans of getting married and were obviously too young to know any better. We are still great friends. We joke about going together to get them removed. I look at it like this: a tattoo is way cheaper than a marriage or divorce!" -- Julia J., 23, office coordinator
The Pink Elephant and Purple Cow
"Shortly after college, I took a trip to Vegas with my friend. I managed to spend $1,100 on a tattoo of a drunk pink elephant with exed-out eyes that said, 'Take Care' on my ass cheek at Hard Rock Cafe.
"I had a few Chardonnays before I did it -- you know in Dumbo how when he gets tipsy, he sees pink elephants? Somehow in drunk logic, that made sense to me. Take care? I don't know, I say that when I get off the phone, but I don't really know. It was probably more, 'Take care of yourself, you're a mess.'
"A couple years later, I decided to get the other cheek done. It's a purple cow -- but he's like Rodin's The Thinker. I was completely sober. I found a visiting tattoo artist and I blindsided him with this request. I gave him two pictures, one of a purple cow, and one of the statue. Now here I am, 34 years old, degree from Columbia, my own company, with two brightly colored animals on my ass.
"I actually turned the elephant into a logo -- by literally sitting on a scanner, Xeroxing my ass, and then having a friend trace it into [the image above]." -- Ryan Z., 34, tech entrepreneur
"No Boundies"
"I was with my friend, we were out drinking on a Wednesday night. We were saying how we were bored of doing the same thing over and over. You know, this is New York, so we were just being brats. But we were thinking, 'What can we do to spice up the evening? Let's get tattoos!' We were sitting at a bar thinking about what we'd get and laughing. I said, 'It's like we have no boundaries.' And then I thought, 'That's what I'm going to get!'
"So we went looking for a tattoo shop that was still open, because it was late. We get to St. Mark's Place and of course they're open. We go in, and this guy was, I think, also intoxicated. I'm telling him that I want 'no boundaries' from like my boob down to my hip, and he can put some stars on it, too. The next day, I had to wake up and go to work, but I left early because I was so sick. Later on, I was texting my friend about how I got this embarrassing tattoo that says 'no boundaries' and sent a picture. They go, 'You know that doesn't say no boundaries, right?' The guy had forgotten the 'a' and the 'r.' So it said 'No Boundies.'
"I was mortified. I sent an email to everyone I knew asking what I could do to fix it. One of my friends told me to get it covered. I got it fixed by the same tattoo artist, which was a mistake. It's pretty hideous, but no one really knows what it says." -- Danielle Z., 31, event planner
The Zombie Shocker
"The tattoo I regret the most is a zombie hand making the 'shocker' motion with some... fluid on both his pointer and middle finger, as well as on his pinky.
"I was at my buddy's shop getting both sides of my bottom lip pierced. When we were done, he said, 'Hey I have a free tattoo if you'd like. But it's only free if you agree without seeing it first. I have three options, you have to chose one if you agree now.' So I say, let's ride!
"First option he shows me, it's Tony Danza's portrait with 'I'm The Boss' above his head. Funny, but not my thing. Second option is Mr. T's portrait with 'I Pity The Fool' above his head. Again, funny, but whatever. Last option is a zombie hand giving the shocker with blood and feces on it. I was a 19-year-old metal head, so that was it.
"This guy was no stranger to weird shit. He was an ex-porn producer, so it was hard to shock him. But my eager decision somehow took him aback. He had dreamed of putting this on someone, but never found a recipient until that moment.
"So I sat down, took my pants off, and disgraced my left thigh with a 10in x 3.5in zombie hand shocker. It's there forever. And it's gloriously disgusting and VERY regrettable." -- Rob G., 28, associate merchant
The Glow-in-the-Dark Lightning Bolt
"My friend Rob is a tattoo artist. I was getting one of mine touched up and he mentioned he'd just gotten UV ink approved by the FDA. So I was trying to think of funny ideas. 'What if I get an Apple symbol so I look turned on?' He talked me out of it. So then I was like, 'What if I get a lightning bolt so I look charged?' And he did that one.
"But the thing is I scar really easily, and when you get a tattoo, it's breaking the skin, so you do have some scarring for a few weeks. It looked like I cut a lightning bolt into my forearm for like half a year. The sun charges it, because it's UV, so if I'm in the sun all day, my arm will be highlighted yellow. I work in events, so there's usually some kind of uplighting, and if it's the right one, it'll show up. My boss thinks it's so stupid. And I don't even think you can get it removed! It needs to be touched up at this point, but I won't do it." -- Kira D., 26, event producer
The Four-Leaf Clover
"It's just a really generic four-leaf clover on my upper right butt cheek. I got it when I graduated high school. When I went to start the removal process, they said, 'We call this the 18-year-old tattoo. Not because you've had this for 18 years, but because everyone gets this when they're 18.'
"I went with three of my girlfriends. We decided this was a moment. We're graduating, we're claiming ourselves and our future. No one's going to stop us! There are four leaves on a clover and there were four of us, so I thought that was perfect. Now I'm an adult woman, I have two children. I really don't have any communication with these girls anymore. But one of them ended up murdering her husband. I got the tattoo like 50% removed and then life just got busy. But now every time I see it, I'm reminded of my very sweet high school friend who murdered her husband and is now in jail. So that's the moment when my very generic experience hits me in the face. The fact that it's no longer bright green is at least a consolation." -- Beth T., 37, educator
The Blah Blah Blah UFO
"It's a line drawing of a UFO with a tractor beam coming out of it. On the tractor beam are the words 'blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.' And then in the tractor beam, there's a cow.
"What really sucks, too, is that it hurt so badly -- because the tattoo artist's needle was too long or something. I don't know, maybe I'm just a wuss. But I couldn't get it finished, because it hurt too much. So it's not done and it's the worst tattoo. It caused me so many problems when I used to date, before my girlfriend and I got together. Like they would look at this tattoo and go, 'What is that?' And it would just ruin everything.
"My friend drew it, and he's great, but it looks terrible on me. And the worst thing is there's no meaning. I told [my friend] roughly what I wanted. I think I said I wanted something meaningful in the tractor beam, but I went, 'Just put whatever. Blah, blah, blah.' And then he literally did. But at the time I was like, 'Oh cool, that's really funny.' I don't think I was even drunk. It was during a time in my life when I was especially reckless. I was probably 23, so I was old enough to know it was a bad tattoo. But it was done consciously. God, what a mess." -- Jeremy G., 28, writer
The Pegasus
"It's a Pegasus, but my family has a tendency to call it a unicorn or My Little Pony. It's not gray or black, it's got some light blues in it, so it's not the most masculine. My wife hates it. Most people react with shock and awe. 'What were you thinking?' I mean, as my wife puts it, it's a mythical flying horse. There have been campaigns in the family to change it into something else. My brother-in-law drew an Ed Hardy-esque version with a snake wrapped around its neck. We've had a lot of fun with the Sharpie." -- Michael B., 48, food and beverage management

With the final season premiere of Game of Thrones mere days away, it's time to brush the dust off of our fond memories of this show. With a year break, fans have been without Westeros and it's inhabitants for almost two full years, and for a series that began back in 2011, a refresher of what happened, the wheres and whens is surely a necessity for some. Well, look no further because n3rdabl3 has you covered!
This is everything important that's happened so far in Game of Thrones!
Clearly, this article will contain spoilers, this is a 7 season recap, after all. You've been warned.
The world of Westeros was once ruled by magic and it's kingdoms were united under one true king who governed the continent from the Iron Throne in King's Landing. Sadly, the lands are now governed by backroom dealings and politics, as a mystical threat looms far in the North, beyond the wall. "The Wall" is a gigantic wall of ice, hundreds of feet high, that has kept the more civilized kingdoms safe from the threats that lie beyond it.
Unfortunately, "Winter is coming" but no one cares. As the kingdoms fight among themselves to see who will next sit on the Iron Throne, a dragon queen to the East plans her return as she amasses an army of her own in hopes of claiming the throne for herself.
Season 1 immediately shows us this threat beyond the wall. The White Walkers are growing in numbers and their ultimate destination is the lands south of the wall. Unfortunately, magic is a much-faded concept now, as people choose to believe in politics instead of the things that go bump in the night.
For decades the kingdoms were ruled by the Targaryens. A noble bloodline that had the ability to control dragons. Like magic, dragons have faded out of existence, or so people think. Prior to the start of the series, a usurper, Robert Baratheon, murders Aerys Targaryen and assumes control of the Iron Throne. This is the set up we come into when the show begins.
King Robert and his Lannister wife, Cersei, travel to Winterfell to visit his longtime friend Edard "Ned" Stark. Robert asks Ned to be his new Hand of the King, explaining that his original Hand had passed. It isn't until Ned learns that the Lannisters murdered the Hand of the King and are now plotting to kill Robert, that he accepts this humbling position. Meanwhile, Ned's son Bran climbs a tower and finds Cersei and her twin brother Jamie bumping ugly's. Jamie pushes Bran from the window sure that the fall will kill him. It doesn't, but Bran is left crippled, unable to ever walk again. Bran can't remember how he fell, and no one is clear that the Lannisters had anything to do with it, BUT this event is what triggers the ensuing turmoil between House Stark and House Lannister.
Ironically enough, we later learn that the Lannisters had nothing to do with John Aryn's death (the original Hand to the King).
Ned takes his two daughters, Sansa and Arya, with him to Winterfell and leaves his eldest son, Rob, to rule in his stead. His wife Catelyn stays behind with their two younger sons, the now crippled Bran, and the baby of the family Rikkon.
Upon arriving at King's Landing Ned learns that Robert is terrible at this whole "King business". He's put the kingdom in heavy debt, and has also fathered countless bastards. It is here that Ned learns that Cersei's three children aren't even heirs to the throne because their father is actually their Uncle Jamie, gross. Sadly, Ned is too late to the party and King Robert Baratheon dies shortly after Ned's move to King's Landing, thanks to Cersei's devious scheming. Cersei's son Joffrey assumes the throne, and this kid is a terrible human being. Ned also gets beheaded because, well, don't fuck with Cersei Lannister.
Westeros rapidly spirals out of control. Especially once other houses learn of Joffrey's not-so-rightful claim to the Iron Throne.
Tyrion Lannister, the only decent Lannister, tries time and again to keep his nephew's kingdom in check. However, he is neglected, ignored, and betrayed by his family more times than anyone cares to count, and he inevitably retaliates killing his father Tywin with a crossbow, while he's taking a poop. Classic. He escapes King's Landing and flees to the East as a fugitive on the run.
It is here, however, he learns of Aerys Targaryen's heir, and rightful ruler of Westeros. It is also here that he learns she is currently, conveniently, amassing an army that she plans to take over the Narrow Sea in hopes of reclaiming said throne.
The heir I'm referring to is none other than Daenerys Targaryen, or as people like to refer to her in the show – "Daenerys of the House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, The Unburnt, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Queen of Meereen, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Protector of the Realm, Lady Regent of the Seven Kingdoms, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons". Seriously, you hear that a lot.
While everything was happening in Westeros, Daenerys (or Danny) and her brother Viserys, were being raised over seas by Targaryen loyalists. Danny is married to the leader of the Dothraki, Khal Drogo (A.K.A Aquaman, before he grew gills), and the Khal melts her brother's skull with liquid hot gold. RIP Viserys.
During their wedding, she is gifted three dragon eggs. Drogo receives a battle wound that becomes infected and he dies. Danny walks into Khal Drogo's burning funeral pyre with said dragon eggs and emerges unburnt with three newborn dragons. This gets her quite the following, as well as a ton of Instagram likes. Her army starts to grow.
The ensuing seasons basically follow Danny and her ever-growing number of followers as she frees some slave cities, gains control of the Unsullied (balless, fearless warriors taught to feel no pain and, literally, give no fucks), and prepares for her trip back to Westeros. Along the way, she meets Tyrion Lannister and makes him her most trusted advisor, basically her "Hand of the Queen".
Meanwhile, back in Westeros, war is tearing the country apart, and we see glimpses of this throughout the seasons. Every house is battling for their spot on the Iron Throne, but most fail in their attempts. Looking at you Stanis Baratheon.
Ned Stark's bastard, Jon Snow, takes "the Black" and becomes part of the Nights Watch. The Night's Watch is a band of degenerates that are tasked with guarding the Wall and dealing with any threats North of said Wall. The Night's Watch is where people send the red headed step children of their family when they can't figure out what else to do with them, basically. Jon Snow, goes willingly though.
Anyway, it is through Jon Snow's adventures with the Night's Watch that we learn of the impending threat that faces Westeros north of the wall. The White Walkers are coming, and their leader, the Night King, has a cool party trick where he can raise the dead. Jon moves up the ranks and eventually becomes Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. He unites the "free-folk", Wildlings, North of the Wall and runs into the Night King at Hardhome, one of the last remaining Wildling Outposts. This is when things get very real for him, as he realizes this is a threat bigger than any political squabble going on back home.
Sadly, the men he commands don't agree with this unification and partnering with the Wildlings and even though he makes it back to the Wall safely, his men plot against him, ultimately murdering him in the end.
Westeros as a whole doesn't share a fate much better than that though. One by one the houses fail to acquire the Iron Throne, and the leaders of these houses die one way or another. From dying in battle, to betrayal, to being murdered by a shadow demon-thing that literally emerged from a witch's vagina; each member of their respective house dies until there is really only three left standing. House Stark, House Lannister, and House Targaryen.
The Starks are scattered for a large portion of the show. Bran is learning how to become the Three-Eyed Raven, a fortune teller that can also control animals and see through their eyes. Sansa suffers awkard marriage after awkward marriage, being passed from Joffrey, to Tyrion, to Ramsey Bolton (a character so horrible, he makes Joffrey look like Mickey Mouse). Sansa eventually is saved by Theon Greyjoy though, but it was kind of his fault she ended up there in the first place so "saved" is a loose term here. Arya becomes an absolute badass. She goes through some shit of her own, but all you really need to know about her is she is VERY good at killing people now. Oh, and Rikkon, well he's dead due to running in a straight line.
Jon Snow is brought back from the dead and eventually wins back Winterfell during the Battle of the Bastards. Jon is pronounced King of the North, with Sansa as his adviser, and Arya is just waiting for someone to point her in the direction of someone that needs a good stabby stab.
Meanwhile, in King's Landing, Cersei loses all of her children. Joffrey is poisoned by Olena Tyrell. Myrcella is poisoned by the Vipers of Dorn, and Tommen isn't poisoned, but jumps out the window of his Penthouse suite after Cersei blows up half of King's Landing because the High Sparrow hurt her feelings, and made her walk through the town naked while she was beat up with vegetables, but no one will tell you she didn't deserve it. Once everything is said and done, Cersei finds herself sitting on the Iron Throne.
Season 7 spends it's time setting up everything for the finale. Jon Snow meets Danny and her dragons. They decide to catch a White Walker to prove to Cersei that the threat to the North is very real. Jon assembles the Avengers of Game of Thrones and ventures North of the wall, again, in hopes of catching a Wight. Things don't exactly go their way though, and Danny comes to the rescue. Sadly, one of her dragons is killed by the Night King in the process but is then brought back to life by the aforementioned Night King, unbeknownst to anyone else.
The three houses have an awkward meeting where they prove to Cersei that the White Walkers are a very real threat. She shadily agrees to help them, but of course doesn't actually intend to help them. Jamie finally sees her for who she really is, and after 7 seasons of being stuck up her ass, he leaves her in King's Landing and travels north to help the cause.
The last season ends with the Night King and his gigantic army of human Popsicle's breaking through the Wall at Eastwatch. With nothing else standing in the way of the White Walkers, the remaining houses brace for the impending war to come. Winter is here, but who will survive? We'll know soon enough when the final season of Game of Thrones premieres this Sunday, April 14!

Hon. S. Simpson: I thank the Leader of the Third Party, though I did lose the bet on getting a question-free session.
I agree with the Leader of the Third Party. Persons on income assistance, persons with disabilities and hundreds of thousands of other people who are living vulnerable and living poor are struggling immensely in this province today. I'm proud of the $100 increase that we put in place, the first increase in over a decade for people on income assistance.
As I said, there are significant numbers of working poor in this province who are struggling as well, and I'm excited that at the end of this week, we're going to have a $1.30 increase in the minimum wage, the first step on the way to a $15.20 minimum wage.
On the issue of housing, the member is correct: it is challenging, as we move forward, but we have many steps that we're taking. I'm excited about the biggest investment in housing in the history of British Columbia in the February budget. I'm excited about the increases around rental assistance programs and SAFER grants. I'm really excited about the 2,000 modular units that are out there being built today, that are being occupied today, that are helping the most vulnerable people in the province, people living homeless, and giving them a place to live. That's progress, and that's leadership.
The last thing I would say is: we'll bring in the poverty reduction plan, and yes, we're going to deal with housing.
A substantial gap remains between social assistance rates and what is required to maintain a dignified standard of living. That's why during the election the B.C. Greens committed to transitioning people to livable incomes, starting with an increase in social assistance rates by 50 percent above 2017 levels by 2020.
The previous critic on this file said last year: "Every year I ask the minister how on earth they come up with $375 as the shelter allowance for income assistance, because there's nowhere in B.C. that's available for $375." I would agree with her, but unfortunately, this remains true today, and the average rent of a bachelor apartment in Vancouver is over $1,000 a month.
My question, again, to the Minister of Social Development and Poverty Reduction is this: will you increase the shelter allowance as part of the forthcoming poverty reduction program and strategy?
Hon. S. Simpson: We have 557,000 people living in poverty in this province. We've had the highest rates of poverty for over a decade and a half, pretty much every year, and certainly the highest rates around child poverty.
We have challenges. We need to deal with the affordability questions that the member's talking about. We need to create opportunities for people to break the cycle of poverty. We need to deal with the issues of social isolation and social inclusion for people struggling in poverty, whether they be the 100,000 children living in poverty, the Indigenous and the disabled who are living in poverty.
We're going to do that. We're going to bring legislation this fall that will legislate the poverty reduction plan, and British Columbia will no longer be the only province in this country without a poverty plan. We will end that this fall. We will bring the plan shortly after, and we will address those issues of improving the lives of people in this province, including on the housing issue.

Five ringleaders of an alleged drug syndicate that supplied "hundreds" of people across Sydney with cocaine will face court, following a series of arrests on Friday in Sydney's north.
Police arrested four men and one woman on Friday in Ryde, following a 10-month investigation into the "large-scale" cocaine supply network across Sydney.e people allegedly involved in a "sophisticated" drug syndicate have been arrested. Photo: Rohan Thompson
The group used an unknown number of "runners" to supply cocaine to "hundreds of customers" across the Sydney region, police allege.
However, no drugs were seized during the arrests on Friday.
The five that were arrested are understood to be the "group leaders", with three charged with directing the criminal group.
Police arrested a 43-year-old man at Ryde Police Station about 8.30am on Friday.
Shortly after, a house on nearby Porter Street was searched, where a 27-year-old woman and 17-year-old boy were also arrested.
The three were charged with directing a criminal group, dealing with proceeds of crime, and various offences relating to cocaine supply. The 43-year-old and the 27-year-old woman were also charged with possessing a firearm and explosives.
The arrests followed a lengthy operation by Strike Force Mirimar, formed in February this year to investigate large-scale cocaine supply in Sydney.
Since March, police had allegedly seized a semi-automatic pistol, explosives, ammunition and cash related to the alleged drug syndicate.
Police said more related arrests are "possible" as their investigation into the group continues.
The recent arrests come just a week after police arrested more than 30 people in Sydney's CBD allegedly running a "dial-a-dealer" cocaine service, but at this stage it is unclear whether the two groups are connected.
Detective Superintendent Deborah Wallace, Commander of the Criminal Groups Squad, described the group as "sophisticated", but warned that any others involved would also face charges.
"This syndicate was a sophisticated and highly organised group but like all criminal groups, their time came to an end," she said.
"Drug supply and use have absolutely devastating effects on the community and we will continue to work tirelessly to ensure groups like these are stopped."
All five were refused bail, and were due to appear in court on Saturday.
The teenager will appear in Children's Court, while the others were to attend Parramatta Bail Court.

Through the Sacramento Zoo's Quarters for Conservation program, each time you visited the zoo last year, you were given a token representing the portion of your admission or membership going directly to conservation projects locally and around the world. You used that token to add your support to one of three programs saving species in the wild.
You selected and the totals are in! The Mountain Lion Foundation received 107,022 votes, the Red Panda Network received 106,001 votes, and 78,560 votes were cast for the Union Island Gecko Conservation program. Each program will receive at least $5,000 with additional funds based on the number of votes received.
The final tally of the 2017 votes means you can begin casting your votes for the 2018 projects! Learn more about them below.
The phone rings, there is news of an incoming orphaned Antillean manatee calf. The manatee team swings into action preparing the intensive care pool, readying feeding bottles, rehydration solution, and formula. The call is just the beginning of the rehabilitation process that will eventually result in the release of a healthy Antillean manatee back into the wild.
Over the past five years, the Antillean manatee population in Belize, considered the regional stronghold with an estimated 700 to 1,000 individuals, has been impacted by significantly increased mortality events, primarily as a result of increasing tourism boat traffic in key manatee areas. Injured and/or orphaned manatees found in the coastal waters of Belize are brought to the Manatee Rehabilitation Centre at Wildtracks for rehabilitation and eventual release back into the wild. The rehabilitation process can take as long as three and a half years, depending on the age of the animal and the severity of its injuries. With such a low population count, it is critically important to facilitate the return of every animal to the wild.
Save the manatees! These adorable animals need your help! Support of this project will go directly toward the construction of a second neonate intensive care pool for orphaned calves and the necessary supplies to rehabilitate and release manatees back into the wild. Your vote for this program funds the care of baby manatees to get them back to the wild! Do your part to help save the manatees and demand that boats go slow in manatee waters.
For more information visit the Wildtracks website.
A headstart program for the foothill yellow-legged frog includes hatching eggs and safely rearing the tadpoles into juvenile frogs. Once they are large enough, the young adult frogs will be released to a site along the Feather River where habitat restoration has taken place. After release, the frogs and their population will continue to be monitored and will receive assistance during migration.
Foothill yellow-legged frogs need habitat protection and recovery efforts to avoid extinction. Protecting these frogs will also benefit other wildlife and many river and stream ecosystems in California that we rely on for recreation, open space, and drinking water.
Frogs are croaking in record numbers! Your support of this project helps restore yellow-legged frogs to the feather river. Eggs are collected, hatched and young frogs are released back into restored habitat. Supporting this project is taking part in positive action to save a native California species and give it legs to thrive and repopulate in the wild. Hop to it and save the frogs!
Part of pack life for the painted dog is taking care of the young, sick, old, and disabled. These social dogs are one of the most endangered carnivores in the world, with approximately 5,000 existing in the wild and one-sixth of this population in Zimbabwe. The loss of quality habitat and poaching are driving the painted dogs towards extinction.
Save the painted dogs from snares set for other animals! Your support of this projects funds special collars that protect painted dogs from becoming trapped in snares set for other animals. It is a howling success! Join the pack to save the painted dogs.
For more information visit the Painted Dog Conservation webpage.

A queer demand from the fans across the country might have placed Sara Ali Khan, daughter of Saif Ali Khan, on cloud nine. Fans have requested to Soha Ali Khan to come on social media and that is now a trending topic on Twitter with a hashtag #SaraPlzComeOnSocialMedia. It is a proven sign of the arrival of a new hot star in Bollywood!
Normally, social media is the route for the star kids to announce their arrival. Twitter and Facebook are the great platforms for B-Town celebrities to stay in touch with their fans. But Sara Ali Khan is reluctant to choose the social media route. Though there are hundreds of Twitter accounts that have been opened in the name Sara, you cannot see an official Twitter account. She also has no accounts on Instagram and Facebook. But many Facebook and Instagram accounts are seen in the name of Sara opened by her fans. Interesting fact is that even without any social media, Sara Ali Khan has already signed her Bollywood debut. She plays opposite Ranveer Singh in Rohit Shetty's film 'Simmba' produced by Karan Johar. This is a magic debut for any star! Simmba is set for a September release.
There is no doubt that Sara Ali Khan is one of the prettiest star kids and is a hottie. She is often spotted by the paparazzi.. Sara's photographs and videos are all hot on social media. Her recent hot dance during Mukesh Ambani's son, Anant Ambani's wedding reception was a hot trend on social media. It is usual the small story of celebrity travels to their fans through social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
Saif Ali Khan is still social media shy. As Sara does not have any account on social media, fans themselves have called her through the hashtag #SaraPlzComeOnSocialMedia. The hashtag #SaraPlzComeOnSocialMedia on Twitter is currently trending heavily. Sarah's fans have requested her to open an account on social media.

what you think won't happen to you, happened to me.
I would like to start this post by saying, I am not a physician, I am simply sharing information to help bring awareness to blood clots and what you may be experiencing. If you have questions please seek medical attention immediately.
March is National Blood Clot Awareness Month... I know I know every month there is some sort of awareness month and what good does awareness do, most people know about cancer, but with blood clots, it's a little different. I almost died from a blood clot. As a high school volleyball coach, I often hear my athletes talking about how they picked up birth control at the high school health center. This makes my stomach qweezy, I'm all for birth control, women should totally have a choice with their bodies, but I question whether these teenagers know and are hearing about the side effects of BC. I share my story with the girls on my team so they are aware and know what to look for and that they know, this happened to someone you know, it could happen to you! Throughout the years, there are lots of things I've learned about blood clots that people don't know, and that I didn't know until I had one. By reading this post you could save your life or someone you know by being able to identify the signs and symptoms of a blood clot.
Birth control- If you're taking birth control, you could be at risk for a deadly blood clot. The use of birth control pills with estrogen increases a woman's risk for blood clots three-fold, and some o the newer birth control pills women use are now recognized to pose a risk two-times greater than older birth control pills. The use of patches and rings containing estrogen pose a risk double that of birth control pills. If you use, or are thinking about using hormonal birth control please take a moment to visit the National Blood Clot Alliance to learn more about how your birth control and the risk of blood clots.
common risk factors of blood clots:
- Hospitalization for illness or surgery
- Major surgery, particularly of the pelvis, abdomen, hip, knee
- Severe trauma, such as a car accident
- Injury to a vein that may have been caused by a broken bone or severe muscle injury
- Hip or knee replacement surgery
- Cancer and cancer treatments
- Use of birth control methods that contain estrogen, such as the pill, patch or ring
- Pregnancy, which includes the six weeks after the baby is born
- The use of hormone therapy, which contains estrogen
- A family history of blood clots
- Obesity
- Confinement to bed
- Sitting too long, especially with legs crossed
signs & symptoms of a blood clot
Symptoms of blood clots in the deep veins of the legs or arms, where they commonly form, include pain and swelling, with skin that might be discolored and/or warm to the touch.
The symptoms of blood clots in the lungs include chest pain, particularly with a deep breath, coughing up blood, and an accelerated heart rate.
signs & symptoms of a deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot forms in one of the deep veins of your body, usually in your legs, but sometimes in your arm. The signs and symptoms of a DVT include:
- Swelling, usually in one leg (or arm)
- Leg pain or tenderness often described as a cramp or Charley horse
- Reddish or bluish skin discoloration
- Leg (or arm) warm to touch
These symptoms of a blood clot may feel similar to a pulled muscle or a "Charlie horse," but may differ in that the leg (or arm) may be swollen, slightly discolored, and warm.
signs & symptoms of a pulmonary embolism (PE)
Clots can break off from a DVT and travel to the lung, causing a pulmonary embolism (PE), which can be fatal. The signs and symptoms of a PE include:
- Sudden shortness of breath
- Chest pain-sharp, stabbing; may get worse with deep breath
- Rapid heart rate
- Unexplained cough, sometimes with bloody mucus
Knowing the signs and symptoms of a blood clot, DVT and PE could save your life. I had the signs for a week and half before I went to an ER. Not everyone is as lucky as I am. I've heard from parents of young adults who within hours of realizing the symptoms passed away. It never hurts to get something checked out. You know you're body best. Trust your gut and seek medical attention.
