|Brief Summary
|The purpose of this study is to determine whether Guided Imagery and Progressive Muscle relaxation are effective as stress reducing techniques in parents of hospitalized children with cancer.
|Detailed Description
|Having a children with cancer can be a source of stress for parents during hospitalization. The stress experienced by the parents can negatively influence their functionality, daily activities, psychological state and also their physical condition. The studies in the literature have mainly focused on the child rather than the parent, and studies specifically for guided imagery are scarce. Since the parents are often neglected by the healthcare professionals during the stress evoking period of hospitalization, this study will test the effectiveness of complementary methods in improving the psychological state of the parents.

Uh Oh! Bear Has Old Pictures! What Is It [SURVEY]
This is fun! I love running across some old pictures of our quaint little town. Do you remember some old buildings and some places that did not exist back in the day. When I moved here in 1974 there was only about 60,000 people here, no cable bridge, no I-182 freeway, No Gage Blvd!
So I found this old picture and here is your chance to steal some VIP points from us by taking this survey!

At Empire State Youth Orchestra (ESYO), we believe in music and its power . . .
- to guide young musicians in developing skills and creative ways of thinking
- to inspire young people to focus, work hard, and work as a team to achieve excellence
- to create community by crossing cultural, social, and economic divisions
- to transform lives for the better
The ESYO Experience
Empire State Youth Orchestra challenges and inspires young people to achieve excellence through music in a rigorous learning environment leading to high-level performance opportunities.
Each season, more than 500 talented musicians, ages 9-18, from the greater Capital Region of New York and western New England, enjoy outstanding educational and performance opportunities as members in one or more of ESYO's two full orchestras, wind orchestra, string ensemble, two jazz ensembles, and three percussion ensembles. With approximately thirty public performances each season, ESYO musicians experience the joy of playing in a variety of venues including Troy Savings Bank Music Hall, the Massry Center, Arthur Zankel Music Center, and even Carnegie Hall. ESYO's Youth Orchestra has toured Europe four times and, in 2012, performed by invitation at the World Expo in Yeosu, South Korea, as well as at major concert halls in Beijing and Shanghai, China. Our ensembles have performed in festivals, on NPR's "From the Top," and had exchanges with other youth music groups.
ESYO's programming ensures that our musicians are exposed to a broad
range of music to form a solid musical foundation which is particularly important for those students who want to continue in music in college and beyond. As a result, our concerts feature masterworks as well as music from living composers. ESYO has commissioned music from composers such as Samuel Adler, Hilary Tann, Dan Cooper, Jin Hi Kim, Grammy-winning Bill Cunliffe, and Michael Davis, which allows our musicians to be a part of the creative process as they work with the composer in rehearsal and bring a musical idea to life in a performance. In 2008, ESYO was awarded a $100,000 grant from the New York State Music Fund at Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors that helped support the "New Music for a New Generation" festival, at which commissioned works from nine separate composers were premiered, one by each of ESYO's ensembles. In that same year, ESYO was awarded the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) Youth Orchestra Award for Adventurous Programming of Contemporary Music, as well as the ASCAP award for American Programming on Foreign Tours. During that tour, Samuel Adler accompanied the musicians to introduce the European premieres of his work, A Bridge to Understanding, commissioned by ESYO for the 2008 festival. In 2011 ESYO was accorded another award for Adventurous Programming from ASCAP.
Working with professional musicians goes beyond the weekly rehearsals and coaching sessions; ESYO musicians have taken advantage of master classes and visits from guest artists such as Boston Brass Quintet, Hyperion Quartet, ESYO alum Gary Wicks from Manhattan Transfer, Benjamin Zander, Alan Vizutti, and "Blue" Lou Marini. Collaborations with other arts organizations such as Albany Symphony Orchestra and Albany Pro Musica enhance the ESYO Experience.
ESYO graduates, nearly half of whom pursue music as a career, tell us that their ESYO experience helped them develop skills, such as working in a team, responsibility, discipline, that have helped them achieve success. Alumni can be found in all walks of life from finance to science to medicine to business, and, of course in the music industry. ESYO is well represented by alumni on stage performing classical and contemporary music in national orchestras and in small combos, backstage as arts managers, recording engineers, and composers, and in the classroom teaching the next generation of musicians.
ESYO has a prominent role in the cultural life of the Capital Region. Over the years, thousands of young school children have been introduced to the workings of an orchestra at ESYO's annual Young People's Concert; senior citizens enjoy hearing the orchestra at our annual free Concert for Seniors. Many area residents grew up attending the Melodies of Christmas concerts that feature ESYO's flagship ensemble, the Youth Orchestra; now these folks are bringing their own children. Produced by CBS 6 (Albany, these concerts benefit the pediatric oncology program at Albany Medical Center. In 2013, ESYO was recognized for its outstanding contribution as a vital economic force in the region by the Tech Valley Nonprofit Business Council.
Barry Richman founded ESYO in 1979, along with Lois Lyman, Eleanor Barnes and a group of dedicated parents and music educators. For the first two seasons ESYO had only one ensemble – the Youth Orchestra. Over the years, additional ensembles were added to meet the needs of the growing ESYO community and to provide more opportunities for younger, less-experienced players. Currently, all of ESYO's ensembles rehearse weekly under the direction of professional musicians. Our largest ensembles also benefit from periodic, instrument-specific coaching sessions. The Youth and Repertory Orchestras kick off each season with a rehearsal-retreat weekend at Frost Valley YMCA Camp in the Catskills.
Nearly half of ESYO's expenses are offset by the generosity of individuals, corporations, foundations and government agencies. This dedicated support is crucial to keeping tuition fees affordable and allowing our orchestras and ensembles to include all talented musicians regardless of financial status.
ESYO is a (501)(c)(3) non-profit organization governed by a volunteer board of directors.
What do they say about ESYO?
"The orchestra sounded so good that you could close your eyes and not be able to tell that what you were hearing was really a group of teenagers."
Daily Gazette, Nov. 2006
"Cha-Pyo's hair-flying passion and intense involvement clearly inspired the musicians. The orchestra displayed an abundant energy and technical proficiency, listened well to each other and rocked the hall with the finale's fireworks.
Daily Gazette, Nov. 2007
"Music of the future will be in good hands. . . A marathon of the latest contemporary music . . . was happening in downtown Troy and the performances were all by middle school and high school musicians."
Times Union, March 2008
"Everyone got a chance to shine in Ravel's orchestration of Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition." One of the great orchestra pieces, Cha-Pyo conducted with her customary high energy, which makes her hair fly, and clear stick technique and set quick tempos. The orchestra knew what to do. Strong woodwinds, lush strings and a terrific brass choir brought it home."
Daily Gazette, Nov. 2010

Police Blotter
Plea on money transfer
A Vietnamese couple who ran, Vietnam Services, Inc., 401 Broadway at Walker St., pleaded not guilty on March 24 to charges that they illegally moved nearly $25 million in U.S. money over the past three years to Vietnam without a license.
The couple, Larry Vu, 41, and Maria Vu, 38, are scheduled to appear in Criminal Court again on April 14, according to the office of District Attorney Robert M Morgenthau. Larry Vu also pleaded not guilty to three counts of falsifying business records in connection with the case.
The defendants are charged with operating a web of out-of-state subagents from whom they collected funds for transmitting to Vietnam without regulatory scrutiny
Suspect awaits extradition
Norman Dennis, arrested on March 22 in Gardena, Calif., a Los Angeles suburb, by New York City Detectives in connection with the murder 19 years ago of his former girlfriend on the Lower East Side, is still awaiting extradition to New York, law enforcement officials said.
Police charge that Dennis fled after the March 26, 1986 shooting death of Sharon Copeland in a yard behind 45 Rutgers St. in the Rutgers Houses complex. Copeland, then 25 and raising a five-year-old son, was living with her mother in the Rutgers Houses after her relationship with Dennis went bad, according to newspaper reports.
The police cold case squad reopened the case in 1997 and recently received a match from the F.B.I. of fingerprints taken at the crime scene with fingerprints taken in 1993 of a Norman Kearse, who had been arrested in California.
Police said on March 28 that the suspect known as Kearse had acknowledged that he was Norman Kearse, now 48 years old.

At AnNur Islamic School, we seek to educate the total child. The curriculum is challenging and geared toward the objective of preparing our students to excel in all their endeavors. We recognize that each student is an individual and thus the curriculum needs to be flexible enough to meet the needs of every student. The small class sizes enable teachers to tailor the educational experience to each individual student. When this need is met, the curriculum is challenging to every student while at the same time no student is overwhelmed. Our ultimate aim is for each student to reach his or her full potential.
Our curriculum objectives are adopted from the standards published by the New York State Education Department. These standards can be found here: http://www.p12.nysed.gov/ciai/standards.html
AnNur Islamic School's curriculum is generally accelerated, and its students are challenged to perform consistently beyond grade-level. The achievement of this goal can be observed in the excellent scores of AnNur Islamic School students on standardized tests.
The Elementary and Middle School curriculum consists of:

Racing New South Wales Stewards have accepted a late application for the Darren Weir trained Palentino to wear blinkers in the Group 1 $1m Epsom (1600m) at Randwick on Saturday.
Weir had signalled earlier in the week that Palentino would wear the blinkers after working in them at Coleraine on Monday.
But at acceptance time on Tuesday the Weir stable had failed to add the head gear to the $6 second favourite's race day gear list.
Racing NSW stewards released the following statement this morning that Palentino would wear the blinkers after the stable had made the application.
"Racing NSW Stewards have acceded to an application from the Darren Weir stable this morning at approximately 8:30am to add BLINKERS to the approved gear of PALENTINO, an acceptor for the TAB Epsom Handicap at Royal Randwick on Saturday (1st October). Mr Weir has advised Stewards that since its last start win in the Group 1 Makybe Diva, the entire had become unusually stirred up in its work. Mr Weir further advised the entire has since worked in blinkers and pleased the stable in a gallop last Monday where it relaxed, proved more tractable and showed greater focus during this exercise."
"He went well in them. No problems. It just might help on Saturday," Weir told the Herald Sun.
Palentino's two Group 1 wins were at Flemington, the $750,000 Australian Guineas during the 2016 Melbourne Autumn Carnival and the $500,000 PFD Food Services Makybe Diva Stakes on September 10 and both were over 2016, the same distance as the Epsom.
The four year old chestnut with the ear muffs on was able to run down the more fancied stablemate Black Heart Bart last start in the Makybe Diva Stakes with Black Heart Bart then going on to win the Group 1 $500,000 Hyland Race Colours Underwood Stakes (1800m) at Caulfield last Saturday.
Palentino has drawn barrier nine in the thirteen horse Epsom field with Makybe Diva Stakes winning jockey Mark Zahra in the saddle again.
Bookies at Ladbrokes.com.au have Palentino equal second favourite at $6 with the Chris Waller trained McCreery behind the John O'Shea trained Hauraki who heads the market order for the Epsom at $5.50.
Market order for The Epsom at Ladbrokes.com.au: $5.50 Hauraki, $6 Palentino, McCreery, $8 Fabrizio, $8.50 Happy Clapper, $11 Mackintosh, $13 Le Romain, $15 Sons Of John, $16 Heavens Above, $19 Vanbrugh, $21 Torgersen, $31 Dibayani, $41 Mighty Lucky.

(Lincoln, Neb.)- At approximately 6:05 p.m., Wednesday, June 15, Lincoln Correctional Center Escapee Timothy Clausen, 52, was taken into custody at a residence at 3226 South 26th Avenue in north Omaha.
The Nebraska State Patrol, Omaha Police Department, Douglas County Sheriff's, U.S. Marshal's Service and the Metro Fugitive Task Force took Clausen into custody without incident.
Leads developed by law enforcement authorities led to his arrest.
Clausen had changed his appearance, cut his hair, shaved his beard and changed his clothing. A handgun was located near Clausen when he was arrested.
"Clausen's arrest is the culmination of a lot of hard work and long hours by law enforcement from multiple agencies," said Colonel Brad Rice, Superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol. "Our citizens were also a valuable resource and we would like to thank each and every one of them who called to provide a tip or information."
Clausen has been taken the Tecumseh State Correctional Institute.
Clausen, 52, and fellow inmate Armon Dixon, 37, escaped from the Lincoln Correctional Center on Friday, June 10. Dixon was apprehended Saturday by authorities in Lincoln.

AMES, Iowa -- Researchers at Iowa State University have concluded that genetically altered corn isn't to blame for higher-than-normal pseudopregnancy rates in sows on five Iowa farms.
An Iowa farmer first raised concerns that the
Bacillus thuringiensis
(Bt) corn he had been feeding his sows might have had an impact. Bt corn contains a gene from a soil bacterium that helps the plant combat a yield-reducing pest, the European corn borer. Following publicity about the situation, a few other farmers said they had fed Bt corn and also had reproductive problems in their swine operations.
Some of the producers met with veterinary and plant pathology experts at Iowa State in July. As a result of the meeting, John Carr, assistant professor of diagnostic and production animal medicine, visited five farms where reproductive problems occurred. In addition, two farms where Bt corn was fed but no fertility problems existed were evaluated.
The visits revealed that all the farms fed the animals a combination of Bt and non-Bt corn varieties. Several different Bt corn hybrids were used in the feeds.
Carr, Thomas Carson, professor of veterinary medicine, and Gary Munkvold, associate professor of plant pathology, concluded there was no link between the pseudopregnancy reproductive problem and the feeding of Bt corn.
Pseudopregnancy is a condition in which a sow or gilt has a delay in its normal estrus recycle period. During this delay, many behavioral or physical signs typical of pregnant animals may be exhibited, but no pigs are ever delivered.
The occurrence of a pseudopregnancy most often is related to management or proper pregnancy testing. Another reason may be the presence of estrogen-like compounds produced by
a fungus found in corn. Some kinds of
infect corn kernels and can, under certain conditions, produce mycotoxins.
The ISU researchers said zearalenone, a mycotoxin that acts like estrogen, is the one most often associated with pseudopregnancy. Corn from the five farms studied was tested for the presence of mold spores. On all the farms, pigs were fed a combination of feeds containing Bt and non-Bt corn varieties.
m molds were found, but none of the corn samples contained any detectable zearalenone.
"It's been known for many decades that
infection is very common in corn kernels," said Munkvold. "However, the presence of
does not necessarily mean that mycotoxins are present at harmful concentrations."
Bt hybrids typically have lower levels of
so the producers involved were surprised by the mold spores that were found.
"When insects feed on corn kernels, the kernels are more susceptible to
infection," Munkvold said. "Although Bt corn is not immune to
it rarely has insect injury to the kernels, so the risk for infection is reduced."
Carr said the cause of pseudopregnancy can be difficult to determine. "Pseudopregnancy has been recognized for many years and is present on pig farms throughout the world, irrespective of the type or consistency of the feed being used," he said.
Carr said a detailed examination of breeding management programs helped resolve the problem on three of the farms involved. Problems on another farm were resolved prior to the start of his investigation. The fifth operation closed.
Two 750-sow units, which were not experiencing pseudopregnancy problems, also were examined over a six-month period while the animals were fed a variety of Bt corn. A normal farrowing rate of 82 to 84 percent was recorded with no significant pseudopregnancy problems.
Munkvold said there is no evidence that feeding grain from Bt hybrids poses any danger to livestock. "Numerous feeding studies with a variety of animals have been conducted and no detrimental effects have been observed," he said.

Around the Quad
Tapping into a Revitalized Hop Industry
Dr. David Gent of the USDA talks about downy mildew with growers at a harvester demonstration in August.
The time is right for a hops renaissance in New York state: Microbrew consumption in the Northeast and the number of breweries in New York are on the rise. Many breweries are committed to using local foods, reducing their carbon footprint, and keeping jobs in the state.
To help them, Steve Miller, Cornell Cooperative Extension's first hops specialist, will lead a statewide effort to expand local production of hops, one of beer's key ingredients. Hops are vigorous, 20-foot climbing plants that produce flowers, or "cones," that shape a beer's character, infusing it with bitterness and aromas that can range from citrus to spicy or floral.
Miller is developing hops workshops and resources with a team of researchers from across the Northeast to identify the best varieties and production methods for hops in this part of the country.
In the meantime, the proposed "Preserve, Produce, and Grow" legislation package would create a special license to allow farmers to brew and sell up to 15,000 barrels of beer on their property if they use a certain percentage of New York state–grown products.

Mehboob Khan directs this allegory on Indian independence couched in a historical fantasy about a battle between the Cossacks and the Tartars. Under the tyrannical Russian king (H. Siddiqui) and his Tartar minister Jabir (Kayamali), the Cossacks endure iron-fisted oppression. General Murad (Kumar) secretly tries to help the Cossacks, gets arrested for treason, and escapes. While on the lam, he encounters the beautiful Gulnar (Sitara Devi), who he manages to convince to spy on the princess Nigar (Bibbo). Nigar falls for the handsome Murad as Gulnar, who loves the general, leaves for the benefit of the nation. Eventually, Nigar leads an army of women to fight the Tartars.

Choosing the right college is an important step on the path to educational and professional success. The Improving Postsecondary Education Data for Students Act will help ensure students have access to the information they really need to make the best possible decision, while also reducing the burden of unnecessary reporting requirements for colleges and universities.
I want to thank Chairman Kline and Higher Education Subcommittee Chairwoman Foxx for their work on and support of this legislation. I also want to commend our Democratic colleagues for their contributions to this bill. I urge all of our colleagues to support the Amendment in the Nature of a Substitute and the underlying legislation, and yield back the balance of my time.

#pcb6 was my second Podcamp. Try explaining to your friends that you're foregoing a September weekend of football for something that conjures up Lady Gaga's transport mode to the Grammy Awards. Here are my takeaways from a well-spent weekend at Microsoft New England.
Podcamp is an "unconference" where people share their learning of social media from a variety of perspectives including corporations just exploring it, entrepreneurs, video fanatics and mom bloggers. Topics ranged from monetizing social media in an organization to blogging, adoption of video, to podcasting and what the long-term value of a like, a + or a follow.
I repeatedly heard how social media advocates, particularly in large organizations, are challenged to translate Twitter, the newly updated Facebook, Google+ and other social media into value propositions for senior executives.
Social Media is a business tool, not a complete business plan.
Start by listening, supporting and helping. The most important part is to jump into social media and incubate your efforts. Putting yourself "out there" in a blog or a video in which you're more concerned about succinctly communicating good content is much better than worrying about high production quality worthy of awards. Trying it out, testing and measuring help improve efforts over repeated tries. Chris Brogan described it in a hallway conversation as exposing your vulnerabilities.
Learn from others successfully using technology to commune and replicate it. Mari Anne Snow, an Adjunct Professor of Emarketing and Ecommerce at Bentley University advises to "assemble a gang" because nobody can know everything. One of the earliest groups to use ARPANET and Usenet before the current internet were people who share crafting hobbies such as knitting. Kimberly Reynolds from publisher XRX, Inc. and Guido Stein of the Common Cod Fiber Guild shared stories with me about the community of knitters, fortunes spent in pursuit of yarns, and how knitters share their work. Novice knitters rarely have to go far to get help on a dropped stitch or pattern adaptation.
Don't buy into the myth that social media is just for the kids. Mari Anne Snow made an emphatic point in her recommendation to "assemble a gang" that the college kids recruited for internships and jobs are digitally savvy because parents outfitted them with technology from early on. But that assumption that all college interns are digital whiz kids is false. We're all still learning in the social media space. Plus the kids do not have organizational clout, budgets to allocate or business life experiences to draw upon
4) Google+, Facebook and technology changes are challenging everyone. Even the brilliant global names at Podcamp Boston are just wrapping their arms around the changes, gripes and praises.
Can you give a shout out to groups who are doing interesting things in social media that readers can adopt? Give 'em a digital pat on the back here…

4-Aug-2000 Tidy creates duplicates of enclosing inline emphasis tags inside of user-defined inline tags. This isn't what we were expecting.

Now that I realize it's not just us, I'd like to ask Dave to consider incorporating this change into the mainline Tidy.

Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance is readying its maintenance shops to start supporting the General Electric GEnx-1B engine within the next few months, says Ton Dortmans, executive vice-president of KLM Engineering & Maintenance.
"I expect that six months from now, we should be ready," says Dortmans, noting that AFI-KLM still has to finalise negotiations with GE. "Six to nine months maximum, but our ambition is six months at the moment."
The maintenance firm is not expecting the engine to need full overhauls for the next six to eight years, he says. This more immediate capability in the coming months would be for "quick turns" that are much shorter than the full overhauls and used to improve performance and time on wing, says Dortmans. The turnaround time for these maintenance events are still to be determined for the GEnx, he says, however it takes about seven to 10 days on the GE90 engine powering the Boeing 777, he says.
As the first non-OEM maintenance firm in Europe to support the engine type, AFI-KLM E&M sees a big market for potential third party MRO customers, says Dortmans. GE provides its own MRO services for the GEnx at its Caledonian service facility in Prestwick, Scotland.
AFI-KLM E&M is also close to signing three new "big customers in the Far East and Europe" for its Boeing 787 component support programme, says Dortmans. The carrier has already signed Kenya Airways, LOT Polish Airlines and Royal Brunei Airlines for the offering so far.
The maintenance provider is still deciding which maintenance shops will perform engineering and overhaul functions, says Dortmans. He notes that the firm is considering using its shops in both Paris and Amsterdam.
"What we're looking at is to see where we can use our knowledge from both sides," he says.
Air France-KLM chose the GEnx-1B to power its 787-9 fleet after about two years of long discussions with GE and competitor Rolls-Royce, says Dortmans.
Boeing will begin 787 deliveries to Air France and KLM in October 2015 and January 2017, respectively. The two carriers placed a firm order for 25 of the aircraft type in 2011, with another 25 options. The airlines will also lease 12 aircraft from ILFC.

PHILADELPHIA – Sophomore midfielder Matt Mullock netted his first collegiate goal in the 94th minute to send the Saint Joseph's men's soccer squad to a 2-1 overtime victory over Manhattan in a rain-soaked match on Wednesday evening on Sweeney Field. With the win, the Hawks improve to 2-1-1 while Manhattan drops to 2-2-0.
The final play unfolded as senior goalkeeper Greg O'Connell blasted a goal kick up the length of the field to a sprinting Mullock, who beat his defender on pure hustle. Mullock got the ball at his feet, caught Manhattan goalkeeper Connor Hayes off his line, and put his shot into the back of the net just 3:18 into the first overtime.
"This was one of the few games this year where we put a complete game in," said head coach Don D'Ambra following the win. "In overtime, we just wanted to keep calm and stay disciplined. We knew we would get some chances. I'm really happy for Matty [Mullock] to get his first career goal as a game-winner in overtime."
Manhattan had scored the first goal of the game in the 45th minute, just 32 seconds before the halftime break, as the Jaspers converted on a scrum inside the box.
With the Hawks trailing 1-0 in the 73rd minute, freshman midfielder Alan Kahlenbeck forced a Manhattan turnover, and senior midfielder Matt Crawford found the ball at his feet. Crawford got a bit of space and, from 20 yards out, blasted his team-leading fifth goal of the season into the upper-right corner for the late equalizer.
"Matty [Crawford] hit a great shot," beamed D'Ambra. "His finishing has been exceptional and so opportunistic. He seems to score big goals right when we need them."
O'Connell (2-1-0) made three saves in the full 93:18 for his second win of the season, while Crawford, senior defender Ben Zambetti, junior defender Eddie McCusker, freshman defender Daniel Morales, and freshman midfielder Aidan Watkins all turned in full-match efforts.
"This was a great win for the guys, especailly coming off of a loss at Quinnipiac, so hopefully we can gain some momentum going on the road and get our first [road] win at VMI," added D'Ambra.
Saint Joseph's will begin a three-match road stretch at VMI (0-2-1) this Saturday, September 9. Kickoff at Patchin Field Lexington, Va. is slated for noon.
MATCH NOTES: After missing the first three matches of the season, senior defender Kevin Lockhart got the start and played 58 minutes on the back line... Senior midfielder Matt Crawford now owns five goals on the season, which is just two away from his goal total (7) from last year... Crawford has scored in all three of SJU's home matches this year.

Summer is in full swing and ice cream is on the menu everyday. We aren't big fans of cow's milk — between the upset stomachs and respiratory responses we avoid it at all cost. Luckily, there are a load of yummy vegan ice creams on the market today, but they are usually still loaded with sugar and can be quite pricey. Making your own may seem like a tedious task, especially when its so easy to run to the store, but 1. homemade is always better and 2. its not as hard as you think. Give this Coconut, Cardamom + Rose Ice Cream a try. We think you'll be pleasantly surprised. More than a step up from the tubs of sugary milk you may be used to, this ice cream is a classy and satisfying treat. Not only is it full of flavor, its also loaded with ingredients that are actually good for you!
Coconut milk is a great alternative for people who avoid dairy and soy. Its full of healthy, easily digestible fats, fiber, B vitamins and minerals like magnesium and iron. Skip the processed sugar and sweeten your ice cream with pure maple syrup which contains the minerals manganese and zinc as well as phenols that act as antioxidants in the body. Cardamom is a common spice in indian cuisine. It has a unique flavor and sweet taste and, among many other benefits, it helps improve digestion. Roses are beautiful to look at and lovely to smell but their good qualities don't stop there. Rosewater is great for cooling your digestive tract (and temper.. just saying).
Things to keep in mind: Make sure to use pure maple syrup, not pancake syrup which is a mixture of processed sweeteners. If using honey instead, opt for raw honey to get the most nutritional value. Rosewater is often used for beauty so be mindful that you are using one that is food grade.
Infuse the coconut milk
Add coconut milk, maple syrup, crushed cardamom seeds, vanilla bean and salt to a saucepan over medium heat, stirring mixture every few minutes to insure there is no scalding. When pot begins to simmer remove from heat and allow to steep for 20 minutes.
Freeze the mixture
Strain the infused coconut milk to remove vanilla bean and pods, and then add in your tablespoon of rosewater. A little bit goes a long way! Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pour mixture in. This will allow the coconut milk to freeze into a thin layer, and make it easier to remove and cut up into chunks for blending.
Blending your ice cream
Remove from freezer and cut up into chunks just big enough to fit into your food processor or blender. Add almond milk to your frozen ice cream and blend until creamy and smooth.
SERVING // Garnish with crushed pistachios and cacao nibs for a refreshing treat
Two 13.5 oz. cans of full fat coconut milk
½ cup almond milk
¾ cup maple syrup (or honey if you're not vegan)
8-10 cardamom seed pods, crushed
3 tbsp. beet juice (optional for coloring)
1 vanilla bean, split
1 tbsp. food grade rose water
½ tsp. sal

Alistair Overeem is the current Strikeforce Heavyweight champion, DREAM Heavyweight champion and K1 World Grand Prix kickboxing champion. He has fought the very best in the business including Vitor Belfort twice, Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua, Rogerio Nogueira and Chuck Liddell.
He is a mountain of a man weighing in at 265 lbs of lean muscle. Alistair was not always this large though. He used to compete as a light heavyweight at 220 lbs. After feeling the effects of cutting weight and believing the heavyweight division would be a more natural weight class for him, Alistair followed an extreme workout and diet routine to add 40 lbs of lean muscle to his gargantuan frame.
The results are impressive and Alistair boasts one of the best physiques and most intimidating presence in the fight game. So just how did Alistair Overeem add 40 lbs of lean muscle mass and still maintain the speed, agility and flexibility required to be successful in the fight game.
Alistair Overeem Workouts
Alistair Overeem uses a combination of strongman exercises, plyometrics and speed and agility training to build his size and strength.
Strongman exercises are fantastic for building true full body strength. These exercises include the Farmers Walk, tyre flips and lifting concrete Atlas balls (a favourite of 'The Reem').
Strongman exercises require you to lift and move irregular shaped objects which produce more functional strength gains. Concrete Atlas balls are a great example of this. Alistair lifts balls weighing 220 lbs and because they are round they can be very difficult to grip and handle.
Plyometric exercises such as squat jumps and burpees are included in his workouts to maintain his speed and power.
Alistair is also a fan of DTP (Dramatic Training Principal) and claims it is a big reason behind how he has maintained his speed and agility whilst increasing muscle mass.
DTP is about working to failure. It is made up of 10 sets of a chosen exercise. For the first 5 sets the repetitions are 50, 40, 30, 20 and 10. This is then repeated in reverse for the final 5 sets 10, 20, 30, 40, 50. 45 seconds rest is allowed between sets and the sets must work to failure.
It is similar to German Volume Training (GVT) but uses less weight and more repetitions to put the emphasis on speed and power rather than muscle size.
DTP is an extreme workout that should only be used by those training regularly and a maximum 3 times a week.
Alistair Overeem Diet
Alistair Overeem's diet is one of the most talked about diets in the sport of MMA. Exactly what did 'The Reem' eat to pack on 4 lbs of lean muscle?
Alistair claims to eat 8 meals a day including 4 protein shakes in between.
His diet consists of a lot of meat. Alistair is a self proclaimed lover of meat and eats everything from ostrich, shark fillet, sushi and even horse meat. This love of meat results in a whopping €200 monthly bill on meat alone.
It is important that 'The Reem' eats plenty of vegetables to balance out the volume of meat he is consuming. This is especially relevant at this time with the news of the postponement of the Brock Lesnar and Junior Dos Santos fight due to the reoccurrence of Diverticulitis in Brock Lesnar. Proof that a diet lacking in fruit and vegetables is not healthy.
Alistair eats plenty of vegetables and eats them raw whenever possible for maximum nutritional benefits. One of his favourite dishes is a dish that his mum used to make called 'Dutch Boerenkool'. This is a dish made with meat, potatoes and cabbage.

I am lucky to teach at a school that has garden plots designated for classroom gardening with the children. I have had the same small plot for about 12 years. It started out hard and rocky but it is now so cute and manageable.
This week we are planting. I used Planting A Rainbow by Lois Ehlert as our inspiration this year. We just left St. Patrick's Day and rainbows so it seemed just right for this Spring.
A letter went home to families asking for a small 6 pack of plants in the rainbow colors ~ one color per student. If a student was assigned the color green, then they were asked to bring in an herb.
It takes about 3 trips to the garden for 30 - 45 minutes. Arranging time in the day is difficult but worth it. I ask for parent volunteers to help. Some parents love to help. This year a dad helped us. Students love to plant their own plants. We found several worms and look at the roots abs water the plants. Kids love to garden!
All the gardens need to be ready on the same night the Middle School performs the Spring play.
Here are some pictures:

In the beginning...
I started my blog last year, around July 2012, after trying my very first solo travel at Baler, Aurora. Too bad, I was not able to maintain the blog and it became stagnant for almost a year. Then, my interest in blogging was rekindled after doing so many travels alone and with other people. That was the time I felt the need to share my experiences and the joys I have felt touring the Philippines, and started writing blog entries again.
I formally launched my blog last July 2013 and from then on, I regularly posts new article every week. At first, my only audience are my family and friends. My mother actually joked, "puro kamag-anak lang naman natin nagbabasa ng blog mo eh!". That was true at first (and it was actually not half-meant but full meant! Lol!) After sometime, my viewership increased and I noticed that many of my new readers are actually not my relatives and friends anymore. I jokingly told my mother, "See ma? meron na kong mga readers na hindi ko kilala!"
My Blog's Objectives defined
During these past few months, I was able to ascertain what will be my travel blog's objective. The main objective is still for me to be able to visit all the Philippine provinces and cities. But in addition to that: 1. I decided I have to focus on visiting and promoting lesser-known and visited towns and places in the Philippines, and 2. I will promote heritage tourism and preservation, first and foremost, and nature (eco)tourism, second.
With these objectives in mind, I continued my most of the time solitary wanderings, visiting cities and towns, here and there, taking pictures of churches, ancestral houses, city and town halls, provincial capitols, falls, mountains, rivers, and any beautiful things my digital camera can capture.
Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs 2013
Perhaps it was really meant to be, I stumble upon an FB post in one of my groups about a writing project called "Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs 2013" and I became interested. Since I would like to reach more people and let them know of my desire to promote lesser-known and visited places in the Philippines, I decided to join the writing project. I fulfilled all the requirements and submitted my blog for consideration. Bloggers with blog which started July 2012 are qualified to be nominated by any blog/bloggers who would want to nominate them. The top 10 blogs with the highest number of nomination will be declared the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs 2013.
And through God's guidance and will, I was included in the roster of winners come the results day! It was a mixture of utter joy and surprise when I received an email telling me that I am one of the winners for this year's writing project. I was very happy because being part of the winner's roster means that there are people who appreciates my ideas, objectives and style of writing. I was surprised because there are many other very good blogs nominated which are also very deserving to win.
Aside from me, 2 newly-met (online) friends also won : RJ Abellera of rjdexplorer.com and Jeffrey Rilles of sarap-pinoy.com. Other winners include A Letter Writer, Wazzup Pilipinas, Online Jobs Lifestyle, Filipiknow, Business What Ifs, Travel Blog-PH, Teresay and Saranghae Korea.
The awarding was held during the Digital Influencers Marketing Summit 2013 last September 21 at the SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia, Pasay City.
|Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs
Being a winner of this writing project is a very overwhelming, and at the same time, humbling experience for me. It made me realize that I have to do my best to never fail my readers while also not failing my blog's objectives. It also has given me the much needed motivation to continue blogging, and improve my writing skills.
Thanks is due to Ms. Janette Toral of the DigitalFilipino.com, to the bloggers and readers who supported San Josenyong Gala, and also, to God Above.

Leaguer of the Month
April, 2008
Prince Joe Henry
Born: October 4, 1930 in Brooklyn, Ill.
Died: January 2, 2009
Ht:6'-0", Wt: 185
Batted left, and threw right
Position: second base, third base
Playing Years: 1951-59
Teams: Memphis Red Sox, Indianapolis Clowns, Detroit Stars, Detroit Clowns, Goose Tatum's Stars
Prince Joe Henry entered the Negro Leagues at the tail end of its heyday, just in time to be a part of something special, and was one of the last true "showmen" of the league.
Henry grew up in Brooklyn, Illionois (aka Lovejoy), which is considered the oldest "black town" in the United States, as it was populated almost exclusively by blacks--it's still more than 98% African-American.
Henry didn't play baseball as a youngster, but did play fast pitch softball, and was so good that he was quickly discovered by Negro League veteran catcher, Josh Johnson, who engouraged him to play baseball. Henry did, and as a teenager played frequently against Elston Howard, who was playing sandlot ball "across the bridge" in St. Louis, Missouri.
Henry's talent became widely known, and he was soon scouted and signed by Goose Curry, ex-Negro League star and Memphis Red Sox manager. Before he played his first game with the Red Sox, Henry barely knew the Negro Leagues existed.
Henry got his feet wet in pro baseball when he attended Curry's black baseball school in Mississippi, and when he "graduated" he was soon playing alongside the last few surviving Negro Leaguers.
Though Satchel Paige, Double Duty Radcliffe, and Cool Papa Bell were on their way out, there were still plenty of good players left in the league, including Ernie Banks, Neil Robinson, and Sherwood Brewer.
In 1950, Henry's Memphis Red Sox faced the Chicago American Giants with Satchel Paige (between stints in the Majors), and Double Duty Radcliffe (pitcher-catcher-manager). Henry's manager, Curry, had built up Henry to Paige, claiming he couldn't strike out his new slugging rookie....Paige, probably around 50 years old, struck Henry out four times and got him to ground out the fifth time! After each strikeout, Paige "woofed" at Curry, teasing him that youngsters were no challenge to the best pitcher who ever lived!
Henry, a fine third baseman, was a fan favorite because of the flair with which he played, and one odd habit: on routine grounders, Henry would field the ball, sprint toward first, then stop and throw the ball to first just in time. In reality, Henry did this to make the throw shorter, but to fans it appeared he was trying to beat the runner to first!
Henry often played while wearing a tuxedo and tails, and also claims to have originated the idea of standing at home plate and admiring a long homerun long before Reggie Jackson ever thought of such a thing.
Henry played three years in the Negro Leagues before he was signed to play in the Minor Leagues.
In 1952, Henry played with Canton in the Mississippi Ohio Valley League, hitting .303 with 9 homers, 15 doubles, 4 triples and 43 RBIs in 89 games. In '53, Henry played with Mount Vernon, batting .275 with 12 doubles, 4 triples, 3 homers, and 30 RBIs in 92 games. However, Henry sustained several injuries that kept him from being a Major League prospect, so back to the Negro Leagues he went, even as the league was on its last few breaths of life.
Henry played well enough to be selected to the East-West All-Star game in 1958 representing the Detroit Stars, and he later played with the Detroit Stars, teaming with the Harlem Globetrotters' basketball star Goose Tatum.
Unfortunately, Henry's story since retiring as a player has been bittersweet. When the Major Leagues finally started paying Negro Leaguers a pension for time served in the late 1990s, Henry was denied any money because the small amount of money he collects from social security exceeds his $1000 per month expenses (by a few dollars).
Henry passed away in Brooklyn, Illionois on January 2nd, 2009.

A sturdy recovery is still a distant prospect for Europe, despite recent upbeat economic data, ratings agency Standard & Poor's (S&P) said on Wednesday.
S&P forecast that the euro zone economy would shrink once again this year, by 0.7 percent, before growing by 0.8 percent in 2014 and 1.3 percent in 2015. Its outlook contrasts with a number of more bullish forecasts for the region, with Goldman Sachs, for example, expecting a smaller contraction of 0.36 percent in 2013, and growth of 0.87 percent next year.
"We see that some of the actors that usually stage a recovery are not yet in place, such as exports, consumer spending, and corporate investment, except to a certain extent in Germany," said S&P EMEA Chief Economist Jean-Michel Six, in a report entitled "Europe is moving from sub-zero to sub-par growth."
(Read more: Why investors should not worry about Germany)
"Looser fiscal policies appear to be playing a more active role in the current stabilization in Europe. But this also suggests that a sturdy recovery is a long way off," he added.
A run of positive economic data over the past two months have boosted hopes of a looming upturn in the region. In particular, the official estimate for second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) growth suggested the single currency zone's six-quarter-long recession had ended, coming in at 0.3 percent.
Earlier this week, a survey by Sentix research group showed that euro zone sentiment had turned positive for the first time in more than two years in September, and PMI (Purchasing Managers' Index) data for August revealed that business activity expanded for a second successive month.
Things are even looking up for the likes of Greece following a "tourism bonanza" this summer, according to Capital Economics. UBS upgraded their growth forecasts for the country after a "better-than-feared" economic contraction in the second quarter.

Note: The following sounds best if you read it aloud in the Big Daddy/Adam West voice.
When it comes to future projects, writer Mark Millar is like that uncle who doesn't know how to say "no" when you ask him for things, like going to the circus or ponies or going to a circus run by ponies, and therefore the requisite grain of salt must be taken whenever he gives the rumor mill a spin.
Our fellow Comic-Con brethern at ForcesofGeek.com have a press release for Millar's new UK monthly magazine called CLiNT, which announces that the movie sequel to Kick-Ass's first adventure, titled Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall, will go into production 2011 for release in 2012.
Since Kick-Ass's less-than-blockbuster returns at the box office, sequel talk has cooled and this is the first news resembling anything close to official about Hit-Girl's next chapter.
With no official casting announcements, save for stars Aaron Johnson and Christopher Mintz-Plasse (it's a lot easier to say McLovin') expressing a desire to return, we'll remain cautiously optimistic until we hear from studio Lionsgate as to whether or not Balls to the Wall is a go.
UPDATED: Christopher Mintz-Plasse tweeted the following this afternoon: "Don't believe what you are hearing about Kick-Ass 2 guys. It is not confirmed, but I will love to do it when the time is right!"


text: If you are a neophyte parent of a newborn baby, for sure, there are questions boggling on your mind about the best way to purchase baby items and accessories. You probably ask what kinds of clothing to buy for your infant? Which kind of stuff to choose? What dimensions and color to buy? These are the usual questions of first time parents. Selecting Baby Clothes Cupcakes in the babies section could render you"aahhing" and"umming" due to the extensive collection of baby clothing before you. Most frequently, you wind searching around for hours because the assortment of baby clothes are endless, from designer labels, affordable clothes and second hand items. You are confused on whether to buy a designer infant apparel, second hand clothes or new products. If you aren't careful in your purchase, you may buy unnecessary baby items. Aside from fabric types, you have to take into account several factors when picking Baby Clothes Cupcakes. During the fiscal crisis, practicality is what the majority of parents have in mind. They frequently opt for budget wise baby things than designer and expensive baby collections. What is important is to buy nowadays are the primary things that infants need than expensive and branded items.

My #1 Belief: Say YES to the Universe. It's always saying YES to you! It tries like crazy to give you stuff. Don't resist. Get out of the way!
I doodled this YES in college. I got it! I laminated it when it aged to preserve it. I'm thinking that's not an option for preserving you and me. But I know how to get Younger! I'll teach you. Often I see young people who are old. I can help. Say this to help: YES
I have been in the Healing Arts, in a number of modalities, for 40 years. I have been trained extremely well. I've met and worked with luminaries, the best, in this field. I am qualified. And I am passionate about the Vision of Radiant Health for my clients. It's 100% doable.
I have wanted to help in a spiritual way since I was ten. For about a New York minute I wanted to be a nun. It was the 'obedient' thing I had trouble with. The 'religious' thing didn't quiet connect either, but the 'spiritual' thing, now that snagged me. It's my path, I am good at it. Well, I mean I'm passionate about it.
So, given my background, the plentiful training information, and given my personal and Spiritual lifestyle – much of which can be gleaned on this site, follow your intuition, your gut, and your heart. And you will sense if I'm right for you. I am available to answer questions and speak with you personally, of course. Many Blessings to you, today.

Great place to meet Grace – Jan 19, 2009
A wonderful healing center run by grace….not just the presence of divinity, but a women named Grace owns and operates the center….it's rather fitting. I've participated in around half a dozen colonics with Grace and I am very fortunate that I found this wonderful healing women.
She is knowledgeable on raw foods and all sorts of other healing. She once worked with Dr. Gabriel Cousens (a raw superhero) and has a background in reiki. I received a reiki massage from her and found it to be very meaningful and beautiful.
I'm a raw foodist and am very concerned with global health. I recommend that you check out Grace and her little healing shop for all your hydrotherapy needs. -Michael
