So let's see. Over the past few days Chicken George has gone from prey to king of the roost. Jase has been thrown under the bus several times, dusted off, then tossed back again. Janelle suffered temporary insanity and licked whipped cream from Booger's body, only to redeem herself completely shortly thereafter by calling him out on his inability to win a competition. Booger showed us that he's a nasty drunk by shouting vulgarities at Janie for making him look like an idiot (as if he needed the help). Marcellas has been called out and given it right back. James has changed his mind about 739 times regarding nominations and the eviction. Danielle has talked non-stop for about 72 hours, I think. And Will wants to go home – or does he? So much for boring feeds!
This morning all hamsters are sound asleep at 9:15 am when BB attempts to rouse them with "(It's Getting) Hot in Here". Which reminds me of the Wang Chung cover of that song in last year's Hit Me Baby One More Time – anyone else watch that show? I was hoping it would be back this year. Anyway, no one actually wakes up, and thankfully, no one takes the songs' suggestion to take off all their clothes either.
Oh, wait … Danielle is up. Confirmed tooth-flossing action in the bathroom. About ten minutes later, BB tries some rap song that I've never heard. Will, George, and Erika appear. Everyone else is still trying to ignore BB.
Will comes out saying that he woke up this morning with the knowledge that he wants out and Jase should stay, because he can't be sure that he'll have enough votes to get out of there in week 5. He tells Danielle to go get Booger but to try not to wake Jase up in the process. Danielle sends Booger out and then tells Jase what's going down.
Jase gets up and begins hair placing in the bathroom mirror. So Will and Boog should have a good 20 minutes to talk now. Will says that he feels trapped in the house and wants to go home. Danielle keeps demanding to know exactly what's going on. She says she needs them to play the game. George comes by to announce that he's already lost two pounds (woo – you go Georgie!), and Will asks him to vote him out. Danielle says she'll get the votes to send him home if that's what he really wants, and even Booger is saying now that it might be better if Will goes. Danielle thinks this is a big turning point in the game. Me? Not really.
Jase comes by to hear Will repeat that he needs to get out of there. They talk about taking out the floaters, and Jase says that he made an agreement with James to do just that. Booger and Jase are left alone, and they talk more about the effing floaters and how Danielle is their leader. They want to try and make everyone believe that the Chill Clowns aren't getting along with each other.
Danielle is called to the DR, so the voting has begun.
In the kitchen people are going over breakfast options. Remember, this is veggies, beer, bread, and kumquats day thanks to the latest food competition. I'm surprised they're not threatening to boycott the diary room today if they don't get butter. Will and Boogie duck into the storage room for a quick chat, and Will is excited. He says that he's not even on the S6 radar now, and that this is All Stars. As we all suspected, he's playing the game. He plans to use this "I wanna go home" card for the next couple of weeks, try to fracture the S6 alliance, and then create a new alliance from whoever's left. Booger, his mouth full of bread, looks at the camera and says he's going to "eat them up". Y-u-c-k. As they come out of the room, Chicken George just happens to be standing right there. I sure hope he heard that!
Erika is up in the HoH room with James, flipping around with the spy cam. James is whining again about how this game isn't a team sport and that he doesn't even feel like he made his own decisions as HoH. Still sounds to me like James wants to keep Jase – he says that Jase would keep his word (which he wouldn't). Erika says that Will wants to leave (which he doesn't). HeJames asks what time it is, and Erika says "time for you to get the f*ck up!" and leaves. Maybe she's tired of his complaining too.
George, who I'm enjoying more and more as his personality actually comes out again, is having trouble with the slop diet. It gives him terrible gas, which is not only embarrassing but also painful. BB gave him Gas-X, but it's not helping. Gotta give him credit though, he almost never complains about eating the actual slop. He wonders though if BB tested this on anyone before putting them on it. Booger suggests that George should mention this in the diary room and ask for a professional medical opinion.
In a moment alone, Danielle tells Booger she's tired of running around for "you guys" and she wants to choke him. Get in line, sister. Will comes by and Dani tells him that S6 is keeping him in the game. Will mentions that he saw Erika run upstairs when the voting started, and thinks that she's the liaison between S6 and the Chill Clowns. Danielle asks Booger to stop using her name when he's talking to people – she wants him to act like he doesn't even know her.
Lots of inane chatter as the hamsters mill about eating their breakfasts and finding places outside to sit and pass away some time. Jase says he knows he's leaving because someone gave him the scoop. Booger asks surprised and wants to know why no one told him. Erika suggests it's because he doesn't stop talking long enough to hear anyone.
There's a lot of talk about previous seasons, which always seems to happen on voting day when there's not a lot else to do but reminisce. Danielle must have recapped her entire season from day 1 to when she lost the final vote by now. In excruciating detail. Danielle's great, but she really has to cut down on the verbiage spilling from her mouth day after day. Jase thinks that he's being edited as more "refined" this time around. Well yeah, you started off that way Jase, but it kinda faded after the first couple of days in the house.
Will and Booger are working out in the gym, and Will is saying that the S6 asked him what would happen if Booger was voted out, and Will said, "see you later". Booger says that the S6 think he's a terrible game player. Yes, yes they do. And I've yet to see proof that they're wrong on that one. Will tells Boog that Kaysar had a free pass to the final four, but he screwed it up. Not sure how, exactly. Will points out that the differences between S6 and the Chills is that S6 has more people and they won't walk away from each other. He also thinks that Jase will be coming back into the house. If it's America's Choice, I beg to differ.
Mr. Smith is filling Mrs. Smith in on the change in the vote. She's pissed off, quite obviously. She says that she doesn't trust Will at all, and now she doesn't even want to be there any more. But Diane! If you stick around you might make sequester and then you can move out of your car! (Was that too low?) She throws in that she effing hates BB6. Then she says that Jase could be coming back to the house, and once again I'm not sure how that would happen unless someone other than the viewers send him back in. He says he'd be willing though. Terrific.
Diane goes into the kitchen and tries to ask Erika about the vote, but BB cuts her off with a warning not to talk about their votes. Di heads back outside and asks Jase how he found out about the switch, and he says that James told him. Diane says that Erika must have been lying to her just now in the kitchen when she said she didn't know what was happening.

Hello there, yes it has been a while. Sorry. I have not blogged since I did the Spartan. I wasn't sure if I should blog at all, I'm not the best at remembering to do it at the best times of time, but I think I need it.
So the Spartan was amazing and I was full of confidence and bravado for the future. Of being a fit and healthy individual. Then you know things got in the way, I didn't stop running but I certainly haven't been doing as much of it as I should. I've been going to bootcamp when I can and in my head I am still trying to be fit and healthy. I have even signed up to many an event.....
But the scales and my clothes tell the real story, the story of not exercising as much as I could be, of not eating well. Or perhaps of eating too well but definitely eating too much of the wrong stuff.
More importantly my body is telling me the real story. My pain levels have creeped up, more things are popping out.
Carrying around extra weight does not help my hypermobility at all. I know this. So why is it so hard to stay focused, what's that? Cake? Oh ok then thanks very much.
A few weeks ago my knee popped out to the side - it's never done that before! And it has been painful ever since, I know its not right because I am putting strain on my other joints when I am walking. I tried to run the other night and there was just no way, it slid out every time I put my foot down.
I'll be honest this scared me. Not only because I have signed up to the Gelt Gladiator ( a 10k obstacle race this time!) and I really need to be running and training. But what if this is the start of the end? What if I am going to really struggle to be properly fit ever again? Now yes I may well be prone to being slightly melodramatic, I need to give myself a shake!
I am being sensible there is no running for me at the moment but I need to take a stand. I need to shift some of these pounds. And I need to strengthen these joints.
So I am back to blogging, mostly to keep me accountable. I can't just come on here and say yep still being rubbish now can I? I am hoping it will pull me out of the hole I seem to be in both mentally and physically.
I have loved Deliciously Ella for a little time now and have finally ordered her cookbook, I will reduce my sugar intake and up my fruit and veg considerably. I will exercise daily (sensibly within my pain limits) and I will do this!

Hello Are you okay? Glad youre here! Want to learn how to detoxify the bowel naturally? Cleanse your body of toxins in 1 week. You should keep your gut from getting dirty, because otherwise according to natural medicine your body will be prone to disease.The intestine is a very important organ for the digestive system and is responsible for storing waste that is solid and then evacuated.A sedentary lifestyle and a bad diet on a daily basis can lead this important organ to chronic intoxication and you can avoid it.When someone has a digestive problem, such as constipation, they accumulate in the colon, sediments that consequently remain in the walls of the intestine.The bad thing is that these wastes usually get along with other toxins and microorganisms and ferment within the body and this does harm to the body.You should prevent problems by keeping the colon clean, doing detoxification whenever possible and thus being free of allergies, fatigue, constipation, unwillingness to eat and weight gain among other things.There are several ways to cleanse your gut, the most common are laxatives and natural recipes.Laxatives in turn are not good for the intestinal flora, a

If you have read all my SEO posts you would have understood what Search engine optimization really is and the importance of Link building. And i know lot of people struggle on building links to achieve a better rankings. What i noticed is, some of the webmasters who work hard all day and night finally end up with nothing at all. The reason is they want to work hard to improve their ranking but they follow the wrong guide.
You may wonder, what are those wrong guides?. There are several mistakes webmasters follow and practice in order to improve their Page Rank but as this post is not relevant to the topic we shall not discuss all here but specify the main mistake that is assocciated to link building strategy that Google reckons bad and it is Link Exchange; Link exchange is good and a link in to your blog/site can improve your blog/site ranking; True, but have you also noticed Google for instance recruiting thousands of Phds' and Masters' to build a better ranking system and i also remember reading a lot of articles pointing out that link exchanges can get you into trouble and sometime the link in/out that you make with an irrelevant category blog/site can value nothing at all but rather bold out your rankings. So avoid much link exchanges as you can and try to gain a one way link back. If your blog/site is having a larger external links (links pointing out from your blog/site) than the internal links (links pointing in to your blog/site from other blog/sites) your blog/site may be in a situation like a person trying get off from drowning. The reasons may be several but one important instance is Bad Neighborhood.
So what i am really trying to say here is avoid much outbound links as you can, but you should also make sure you have made some external links to quality blogs/sites and search engines really likes this. So you may be wondering how can i get a one way link to your blog/site the answer is simple, work on it by submitting your blog/site to directories, post comments on blog, preferably to blog with CommentLuv and KeywordLuv plugin enabled, forums, article submission, press release and other one way link building strategies.
So if you really want to build one way link and improve your page rank within a shorter span of time, start working to generate one way link towards your blog/site now.
List of Do follow blog/sites
List of 250 article submission sites
List of high page rank Article submission sites
List of do follow forums with high page rank
Try working on these sites/blogs and you will be surprised when your next page rank arrives and the visitors you will be receiving through search engines would be massive compared to before. If you can work to get 10 link back a day from the mentioned list in a month you get 300 inlinks, so if the next page rank is after 4 months, how many inbound links would you get ???. Amazing huh. So whats more amazing is on what i am going to provide you with. How will you like if their is a software with more than 1000 directories and it does all your work for you and the only thing you have to do is just enter your basics informations regarding your blog/site at the very first time and submit to many directories just by entering the verification code and submit you go and most importantly you get this application totally free :). I personally use this and i try submitting to 30 directories a day. So download this software now "SliQ Submitter".

Beginning to see the light
Ah, the restorative power of a holiday weekend. I should have graded. I didn't. I did finish fixing the accursed hoodie:
Now it only requires a zipper.
I also finished sewing a bridal shower gift. This is the kimono-style robe from Amy Butler's In Stitches, made out of a 100% cotton Robert Kaufman screen print that I purchased from Pacific Fabrics and Crafts.
Speaking of Pacific Fabrics, they had a 25% off all fabric sale on Memorial Day. My credit card is still smoking.

Wiruna Lucky was a beautiful old koala who shared the "old girls' yard", yard 9, with Bonny Fire, Birthday Girl (until recently) and dear Cloudie.
This is the last footage I took of Lucky as she traversed yard 9.
Koalas need healthy teeth to grind down the large volume of leaf they need to consume each day to survive. In Lucky's case, she was no longer able to do this adequately. It was her time to join Cloud in the great gumtree in the sky.
Dear speckley-nosed one, you will be missed.

text: Few things in life are black or white, especially where relationships are concerned. So in making this post you'll have accept that the full story is just too long to tell. The band is just a hobby: it's my only hobby. We reherse once a week assuming we can all get on the same night. We gig 3 or 4 times per year. Things at home have never been that good and the marriage is in name only. Having said that we've an 8 year old lad who's brilliant. I'm 50 this year; she's 5 years younger. Recently she's been acting strange. That could be a hormone thing, I guess, but she's not said. She'll phone me at rehersal and want's me home. Or she'll ask me not to go that night. It's wearing me down cos I'm constsntly on edge waiting for the mobile to ring. Or there'll be some hassle before I leave which gets me wound up. Either way, I don't enjoy playing, can't do the vocals, etc. I feel I have to comply (sometimes) to avoid the nastiness for the sake of my lad. She says she doesn't mind the band. Says it's better when I'm out the house, in fact. But I can't stand the tension over it. It's affecting the other members, too. I can't be pulling out of rehersals like that, and what if we had a gig and she did it? I've offered to let the band look for another bassist / lead vocals if they want to do more gigs. Not accepted so far but how long can I go on letting thm down? And I'm not sure I want the getting home @ 2am thing. I've spent a few £££ on gear and built quite a bit of stuff for the band. Bought an SM58, 2 weeks ago. Etc. Hmmmmmmm................................... Any wisdom, guys? John

In the book of Amos, God speaks (as he does in many of the minor prophets) about how the nation has gone astray by the way they treat the poor.
Jesus speaks of feeding hungry people, clothing naked people, and visiting imprisoned people. Why? Because to do for the "least" is to do for the Lord.
God is very serious about the use of financial and material blessings for common good. In Acts we see believers selling what they have to give to those in need.
Jesus tells us that we cannot serve both material and Him. It is one or the other, never both.
The real life problem is that we know this, yet somehow we still struggle to live out the difference. In our culture it is impossible to not struggle with the pressures of prosperity.
Here is how prosperity pressures us…
1. The more you have the more you must do.
If you have a house, you have to clean it or you are a poor steward. The bigger the house…the longer the time or more expensive the pay to keep it clean. Same is true with cars and yards and boats and fields, etc.
2. The more you do the less you realize what you do not do.
The busier you are doing what you "have" to do the less you realize that you are not doing what you "have" to do. We get so busy doing what we have to do because of what we have we fail to realize what we are not doing.
3. The more you do with what you have the more you desire to have more to do with.
The more you focus on what you have, even in the simple realities of the care of it, the more you see what is not there. A nice house, but it needs a new porch…or new carpet…or new paint. There is always greater and better which robs us of the joy of contentment.
That is the pressure of prosperity. The problem is that it is a subtle and silent life killer. Prosperity lulls us away from God's purpose for us and dulls us to God's calling for our lives and we never knew it happened.
So beware the pressure of your own prosperity. Be grateful for, not given to, what you have been blessed with. Be given to the One who blessed you with it.

It's early in 2014 but I can give the award already, because it doesn't get thicker than this:

text: SOUTH BEND -- The snarling and shrieking of Metallica blasting through Mark LeVoir's headphones before a game belie the quiet confidence the hulking Notre Dame fifth-year senior offensive tackle carries with him onto the field and into life. "I don't think we've ever even seen him mad," said fellow Minnesota product and Irish left tackle Ryan Harris. "That doesn't mean he doesn't play hard or without emotion, but he's a very quiet guy, very low-key guy. And he's a very special player." So special the 6-foot-7, 311-pounder goes largely unnoticed, unquoted and to a certain extent unappreciated -- outside of the Irish locker room, that is. Some of that's the nature of the position. People sometimes only notice tackles when they make mistakes. When Notre Dame football coach Charlie Weis told his assistants that Morrice Richardson had given the school a verbal commitment, Richardson said the coaches began clapping. Who knows what they would have done had they heard what the Atlanta linebacker said Wednesday night. "I'm going to get a national championship before my time is done," said the 6-foot-2, 230-pound Richardson, who became the 20th player to commit to ND's recruiting class of 2006. Notre Dame's class could grow even more today when two players the school is involved with -- receiver Richard Jackson and offensive lineman Chris Stewart -- make their announcements. Richardson, who plays at Atlanta's Westlake High School, chose the Irish over Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech. He recorded close to 90 tackles, had 12 sacks, forced six fumbles and scored one touchdown on a fumble recovery. Richardson has been timed at 4.58 seconds in the 40-yard dash and bench presses 315 pounds. "I thought he was one of the more athletic linebackers I saw in the whole country," said recruiting analyst Tom Lemming, who rates Richardson as a four-star prospect on a five-star scale. Westlake High is listed on NFL.com as the high school with the most former players -- six -- on NFL rosters this season. Dillard High in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Dorsey High in Los Angeles and Long Beach (Calif.) Poly each has five. Westlake finished 9-3 this season, and Richardson sees more success in his future. "It's a special team," he said of Notre Dame. "That's a special team right there." The 6-foot-4, 200-pound Jackson, who plays at East Ridge High in Clermont, Fla., will announce today at 4 p.m., and said Tuesday night that his finalists included Notre Dame, Miami and Georgia Tech. Stewart, from Klein (Texas) High School, is expected to choose either Notre Dame or Texas A&M, according to Lemming. Notre Dame had been expected to sign the NCAA maximum of 25 players on Feb. 1, but Merrillville running back James Aldridge's announcement this week that he will enroll at Notre Dame in January creates an additional scholarship for Weis to offer. A player who enrolls early can count against his class or the previous year's class, whichever the school decides. Aldridge in all likelihood will count against last year's group, which consisted of 15 players. More room could be created in the group currently being assembled if Oklahoma City defensive back/wide receiver George West decides to enroll early. Ron Kroeger, West's coach at Northeast Academy, said West is considering early enrollment. Stewart has indicated in the past that he too would like to enroll early. NCAA recruiting rules prohibit college coaches from publicly commenting on an unsigned recruit. -Aldridge is one of 16 nominees for the Parade All-America High School Player of the Year Award. Aldridge has rushed for 1,320 yards this season. Fort Lauderdale offensive lineman Sam Young, another player that Notre Dame is recruiting, is also among the nominees for the Parade Award. Aldridge is also one of six ND recruits selected to play in the Jan. 7 U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio. The others are Mechanicsburg, Pa., quarterback Zach Frazer, Chicago quarterback Demetrius Jones, Mocksville, N.C., cornerback Raeshon McNeil, Springdale, Ark., offensive lineman Bartley Webb and Pittsburgh cornerback Darrin Walls. -There had been speculation that Las Vegas High School defensive back Jashaad Gaines, who committed to ND in September, had begun to receive heavy interest from Michigan. Yes, Las Vegas coach Chris Faircloth said, the Michigan staff is pursuing Gaines. But Faircloth believes that Gaines, whose sister Tulyah is a member of the ND women's basketball team, remains a solid Irish commit. "He'll be at Notre Dame next year," Faircloth said.

Some recipes require you to remove the excess liquid from okara, in order for it not to upset the liquid/dry ingredient ratio of some recipes. This is particularly important when using okara in baked goods.
Place okara on an ungreased baking tray and place in oven. Turn heat on to 180oC, and bake for about 20 min., stirring occasionally, until fluffy. Do not allow to colour. Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to three days, or freeze.

Happy Hypocrites.
I suck. I truly, truly suck.
I cant sleep, I cant think...
And now I hate myself even more, for being one of those annoying bloggers, who make excuses on why there not blogging!
Im in a bad place, lets leave it at that.
Im sure you've all got enough unwanted mind-blowing bollocks, going on in your own lives though, that you wont be needing to read about mine.
But I am in dire need of emotional exhalement and I sure aint taking up clay pigeon shooting anytime soon.
So quite naturally, I googled my conundrum of course.
& what a BAG OF BALLS it was!
Who the hell comes up with this tripe?
Well 'Miss Elizabeth Scott' at the New York Times, does in fact....
Well Ive actually been perusing this activity most seconds for the last 21 years and I cant genuinely say its doing a great deal for my stress management.
Take a walk...
Are you serious? Its like a warzone out there! Prams smashing into my cankles...? Clusters of noisy schoolgirls fused together to form one mass unmoving blob..?
Taking a walk will only lead to a stroll under a bus.
Sign up for the *free* weekly newsletter... Free?... really? Are your perhaps failing to mention the time ill have to spend deleting your spamalicious ass from my inbox for the next 15 years, propelling my stress count into hyperspace? ... I think I'll have to pass, Thanks.
SO, for the next few days.. forward slash... forceable future, I will be ranting about some of my favourite things I love to HATE, on this big-blue-marble we call Earth.
Yes ive said it before and I'll say it again 'whiners are whiners'; but if you cant beat 'em join em.
So if you've had it with humanity too, tune in weeknights at 9 on RaphysRambles FM.
(To all those currently syphoning the channels of your not so nostalgic DAB's, Im not actually filling Chris Moyles's chair anytime soon.)
Although, 'RaphysRambles' does have a kind of ring to it.. I may have to rethink this whole 'withlove' business.
On a slightly more apt note, this weeks selection of sun soaked femetography, comes courtesy of the one and only Image23.
Go team Jamie!
Nighty Night!

Society sucks. That's why i live in the country. Peace and quite. i guess there not so bad in small numbers. You need to find a nice quite place to relax and enjoy mother nature. Its tough to find but well worth the hunt. And less stressful than whining about socity. So my wife tells me.ReplyDelete
You need to live down by the sea, she knows all about me and is a great listener. RaphysRambles? Yes please!!!!ReplyDelete
Sea, or country, both are good. Too many people is bad for you. I know about lifeshocks, I had 2 this year and the end result of dealing with them cost me my degree. No matter, life goes on and so will you. Wish you well Raphy.ReplyDelete
Oh yeah, RaphysRambles sounds good to me too.

Montana Bus Crash
by Francisco Guerra, IV. on 01/09/2012
A Montana bus crash led to two deaths and 32 injuries. Eight people remained in critical condition after their Rimrock Trailways bus crashed on an icy interstate highway in southwestern Montana. The bus accident occurred on Interstate 90 shortly after 7 a.m. Sunday.
The bus slid on its side, bouncing, which caused the driver's side windows to break out. The window breaks led to ejections of multiple passengers, and left three people pinned underneath the bus.
Authorities believe that the bus was traveling 65 to 70 mph, and in icy conditions, that can be way too fast. The icy Montana roadway was the location of multiple crashes that same morning. The speed limit in the area is 75 mph, but Montana law requires motorists to travel at a speed that is safe for the conditions.
The bus was headed west from Billings to Missoula. Greyhound formerly owned the bus at issue before Rimrock Trailways took it over last summer. The bus company, Rimrock Trailways, was founded in 1972 in Billings and has 18 buses. The company reports that it had not had a fatal accident for 27 years prior to Sunday's crash.
Bus accidents often result in serious injuries or death. Bus accidents can be caused by such contributing factors as driver negligence, inadequate security, dangerous roadways, weather conditions, defective products and improper maintenance, among others.
Watts Guerra Craft bus accident lawyers offer free case evaluations to the victims of bus accidents and their families. Bus accidents seriously injure and kill hundreds of people each year. When issues of liability become complicated our bus accidents lawyers can help. We have helped many people in the aftermath of these devastating accidents, and we will use that experience to help you get justice.

Fun, inflatable happy gift gives extra bounce to the Scottsdale Arts Festival
44th Scottsdale Arts Festival
March 14–16, 2014
Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Sunday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Outdoors at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts
SCOTTSDALE – A smiling, candy-striped inflatable sculpture will be giving some extra bounce to the 44th annual Scottsdale Arts Festival on March 14–16.
In partnership with Scottsdale Public Art, the Festival will present the U.S. debut of Happy Gift, a 30-foot-wide interactive 'bounce house,' by the pioneering Los Angeles-based art collective FriendsWithYou. Previously exhibited in 2013 in Seoul, South Korea, Happy Gift inspires people of all ages to hop on, play and explore.
Also making its Scottsdale debut will be FriendsWithYou's giant Mushroom Bounce House, which was exhibited in 2010 at Toronto's Luminato Arts Festival and Art Basel Miami, and at New York City's High Line Park in 2011.
FriendsWithYou is the fine-art collaborative of Samuel Borkson and Arturo Sandoval III, who have been working together since 2002. During the past decade, FriendsWithYou has gained international recognition for inspiring, joyous works of art, which include paintings, sculpture, large-scale experiential installations, public playgrounds, published works and live performances.
FriendsWithYou's Happy Gift and Mushroom Bounce House will be exhibited at the Scottsdale Arts Festival in place of the originally planned Happy Rainbow bounce house. Following the Festival, both Happy Gift and Mushroom Bounce House will make an encore appearance at Scottsdale Public Art's Canal Convergence/Spring Equinox event, March 20–23, at the Scottsdale Waterfront.
Admission is $8 for adults, $5 for students and free for members and children 12 and under. Additional information is available online at ScottsdaleArtsFestival.org or through 480-499-TKTS (8587). (Pets are not allowed, except for trained service animals.)

Studying Abroad at Trinity Laban, England
About Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance
Mac & PDF + Printing Tips
Program Snapshot
We're so excited that you're considering IFSA-Butler's program at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance for your fall semester or year abroad. Trinity Laban, located in vibrant and eclectic London, is one of the world's leading conservatories for dance and we're sure you're going to love studying there!
We look forward to working with you!
CoursesWhere can I find a list of courses that the university offers?
1. Open the PDF of course options.
2. If you need course descriptions, please contact your program advisor.
What courses am I eligible to take?
Full-time training in contemporary dance technique, classical ballet and choreography is taken under the tutelage of eminent and accomplished dance artists and teachers. Students study technique at the level appropriate to their background and training. The courses are designed to enable students to acquire technical, creative, and artistic skills in theatre dance. The opportunity to work with faculty who are artists in their own right, and also with visiting artists, enables students to maintain a view of the professional dance world while training.
Performing is an integral part of training throughout the program; students participate in informal performances of their work, as well as in repertory created for them. They stage major performances of their own choreographic works in Trinity Laban's theatre. In this way, students are encouraged to develop expertise in the staging of dance and aspects of dance production, especially stage management, lighting, costume, and sound.
What if I need to take a required course?
How many courses am I able to take, and how do I determine U.S. semester credit hours?
For additional information on credits, please consult the information below:
Fall term
What are the registration conditions?
You should also be aware that you may be charged additional fees by your home institution or host university to take or process additional credits. Taking less than a full course load may jeopardize your student status and result in personal academic repercussions and/or loss of financial aid.
The course preference form is not a registration form; it is a guideline to let your host university know which courses you are interested in taking abroad. You should discuss your course selections with your academic advisor at your home institution and have several backup choices in mind. Neither you nor the university is bound by your selections, and you will not officially register for courses until you arrive on campus.
What do I need to know about exams?
How will my home university know what my classes were and what grades I received?
Exploring Community & Culture
Student praise for C&C:
"We were able to discuss current issues while bringing information from our classes to the table. My friend from college was in another study abroad program and she was jealous because they didn't have a C&C."
"At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to do it, but it really helped me to see things from a different perspective. I am pretty sure I would not have gotten the same out of my time in London without doing the C&C."
IFSA-Butler's Exploring Community & Culture feature (C&C) is designed to take students' study abroad experiences to another level. It encourages them to get the most out of their time abroad by blending intercultural learning with an exploration of the local community and local community groups. Selected activities will foster your intercultural learning through a series of on-site discussions and self-reflection. Through this special program feature you will be encouraged to engage with the community in which you are living and question your own perspective of the world, while learning to appreciate similarities and differences between cultures and communities.
You may participate in C&C the seminar for 3 U.S. semester credit hours. The C&C seminar is comprised of class discussions combined with instructor-guided field excursions designed to assist you in exploring the complexities and curiosities of London's varied neighborhoods. Students who have participated in the C&C in past semesters have found it a great way to explore and get to know London and, with their fellow IFSA-Butler students, to learn interculturally from their everyday experiences there.
Click here to view the C&C syllabus.
Housing OptionsWhat are my housing options?
Fall term students: Trinity Laban students live in self-catered apartments in Paddington. Apartments have double and some triple rooms, the majority with ensuite bathrooms. The apartments offer communal kitchens and living areas, and graduate residents (GRs) living in the building are available to help with questions or problems.
Full year students: Full year students will likely live in the McMillan Student Village. This is a privately run hall of residence located within easy walking distance of Trinity Laban and close to subway, train and bus links. All rooms are ensuite and offer digital TV and broadband Internet access. Security features include a 24-hour manned reception area.
Please keep in mind that while IFSA-Butler guarantees housing, we cannot guarantee your preferences.
Meals are self-catered and students share a kitchen. Refrigerators, ovens, microwave, utensils, and cookware are provided.
Housing FAQs
Is my housing included in the program fee?
Can I arrange my own housing?
Please be advised that housing costs can be high abroad, and many times students living independently end up spending more money than students living in IFSA-Butler arranged housing. If you are hoping to save money by arranging housing on your own, please research your options early so you can compare costs. You must notify us of your intention to live in independent housing by the program application deadline for your term abroad, listed at the top of this page. We are not able to accommodate independent housing requests after the deadline.

These figures are designed to assist students with financial planning but are only estimates based on past students' experiences at the current exchange rate. Rates are current as of 12/9/2016.
They do not include any entertainment or vacation travel costs. Meals are estimated based on the cost of a weekly standard grocery shop with one or two meals out. If you plan to eat out once a day or more, we recommend using a higher estimate. If you have dietary restrictions or follow a specific diet (gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, organic, etc), you may also wish to budget more due to the higher cost of specialty food items.
The above numbers are general estimates of expenses during a program abroad. We recommend taking into account your current spending habits, the cost of living in your host country and the current exchange rate. Your IFSA-Butler program advisor can be helpful as you attempt to work on a personal budget for your experience abroad.
Personal Miscellaneous: Covers general expenses of college life, including course supplies, photocopying, toiletries, snacks, personal care, etc.
Commuting: Estimates are for transportation between housing and university. Transportation for personal or recreational purposes is not included in the above estimates.
