Japanese Sushi
Covent Garden
This serviceable kaiten outfit on busy Kingsway is a popular shout for local workers & LSE students in search of a quick sushi fill-up – though larger groups can pack into the side booths for
mighty bowls of noodles followed by a karaoke session in one of the bookable spaces downstairs. Top-notch sushi & sashimi, freshly prepared by chefs in the centre of the conveyor belt, includes
mackerel, sweet shrimps & fatty tuna belly, all served on colour-coded plates (£2.20-5.20 each). Bulging hand rolls, neat maki & battleship maki loaded with gleaming fish roe are equally
tempting, though hot dishes such as chicken teriyaki are more hit & miss. The set-up is smart – think a gleaming black counter & Japanese artwork lit by traditional square lanterns – but
there have been a few gripes about service.

Customor service: 2/5. Quality of food : 3/5. Price/ quality: 3/5 . to expensive for what it is. I was a regular customer at this restorant near holborn station , the people working there knew me and they knew I was a student and for the students you receive 10 percent discount. . When I was about to pay I asked for student discount and they refused to give it to me. They made an error in what we ate and charged us more. when i asked to take of the exess they refused and believed we had consumed but did not want to pay. The customer service is unfriendly. We had to argue to receive our student discount even though they knew I was a student.
The quality/ price ratio is far to expensive. I do not recommend to take the sweet and sour chicken, it was cold and unfresh. And even did not look good. If you would like to eat sushi I recommend wasabi restorant, sushi samba, toka restorant and many other. They all vary in price , wasabi bring the cheapest and sushi samba being the most expensive however sushi hiroba is one restorant I truly do not recommend you to go to.

The food at Hiroba is usually relatively good, like the sushi and the sashimi are all pretty fresh and the place is popular with LSE students and working adults alike. But the service there is disappointing. The manager did not allow us to sit on the table for 4 even though we had already booked it as I arrived alone first and I was on time. This is supposedly the case for many Chinese restaurants in where there are alot of people and they only give you tables when the party is fully assembled, but for the prices that you pay at Hiroba, it is simply not worth it. The manager was rude and unfriendly by suggesting that we change tables half way during the meal as our other 2 friends hadn't come after the first half hour that we were there and after we had already started eating quite alot. I told the manager that they were coming and he seemed unhappy about it.
When they eventually came and we sat and ate the meal, there wasn't much service to speak of because most of the food was by the conveyor belt and we were made to pay the usual 10% later, which amounted to about 10 pounds. The whole meal cost 35 for me. So I complained to the manager that the way they spoke to us about the table was unacceptable and he had a very bad attitude, insisted this was restaurant policy and even argued with me about it. I wouldn't recommend the place to anyone who is looking for friendly service or a place where you'd expect to get your table when you arrive on time. Hiroba is a decidedly expensive restaurant and the attitude of the staff was and is pretty unacceptable. So please, if you do want respect, go somewhere else for sushi.

Sometimes I decide to walk around and see where I end up. And that night I ended up at Sushi Hiroba.
You sit down on a concept similar to Yo Sushi. But oh no, it is nothing like Yo Sushi. I think I am a bit embarrassed to compare something to Yo Sushi on a review, but now you can picture the plates going around.
To start off, the ginger is quite nice. A very important point.
You can chose small plates with 2 or 3 pieces of tempura, sushi rolls, crab clams, niguiri, sashimi, desserts, edamame, etc. And you can also order from the menu a lot more.
You can pick as many and as different combinations as you like, but I would strongly recommend to try new things. They come in tiny small plates anyway. So why not, try that eel you´ve never dared to.
I´ve also noticed that there are some great big plates for larger tables, but since I always sit by the counter, I could not give my opinion about it, other than saying that they look pretty tempting.
You can sit in front of the plates that go around, or on larger tables on the side. Either option is great.
The staff if lovely and helpful. Sometimes they´ll even feel very motivated and put some nice music on.
This will certainly not be a very romantic fancy dinner, (or maybe it will, you let me know) but you will enjoy to experience these flavors. You can go for a quick lunch or dinner.

Regional Coordinator: Fadi el Halabi
The first Consultation took place in June, 2006 in Beirut, Lebanon with the aim of seeking a partnership between church leaders and persons with disabilities in the region. There were 18 persons from Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Armenia and Palestine who looked at the how inclusive the churches were to people with disability in the Middle East. Some of the participants especially those representing their churches were surprised at the inaccessibility in most of their churches which was highlighted as the main reason most of the persons with disabilities were not attending church services. The participants from the Orthodox tradition recommended that for the church leaders to become more aware of the needs facing them, a visit to the heads of churches be the starting point. As a followup to this, in March 2008, a delegation of persons with disability visited the heads of churches that were based in Lebanon to seek their partnership and to be allowed to have discussions with their theological institutions on how to introduce disability studies.
The second Consultation took place in October 2009 in Egypt under the theme: "from a charitable perspective to a rights perspective." The meeting was attended by 35 persons with disabilities and other people working in the church in the area of disability from Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Iraq the Middle East. The church institutions represented in the meeting confirmed that they would facilitate processes to include disability studies and encourage their faculty members to have interactions with persons with disabilities.
The third Consultation in the region was held in Beirut, Lebanon and took place in December 2011. The participants committed themselves to initiating theological discourse on disability and came up with a draft curriculum which was was discussed. The course was examinable as both a certificate course or a diploma course to be taught in these institutions. The instructors promised to look at the possibility of promoting the inclusion of the disability in the future academic curriculum of theological institutes in Lebanon through the infusion method.
The Colleges that have attended these meetings have been:
The Antonine Thetological Institute;
the Armenian Orthodox Seminary in Bekfaya;
the Near East School of Theology and
St. Paul Institute of Philosophy and Theology
A partial curricullum is being taught at Antonine Theological College.

Greyhound owners are by far the largest investors in the Irish Greyhound Industry. Adrian Neilan, CEO of Irish Greyhound Board, estimates the value of said investment to be 244 million euro per annum. Currently however this affords us no say in the operation or regulation of OUR industry. State contribution of 11 million, conversely, affords the Minister for Agriculture the power to appoint all seven board members and approve all key appointments.
Do we not deserve a little more respect?? It would appear our governing body does not believe so, for we are not even afforded the courtesy of consultation before rule or regulation changes.
We are the most powerful group in the industry. We need to come together, through participation in our local GOBA`s, to ensure that our voice is heard at board level and put the mechanics in place that will see a member of our Federation take a seat on the Board of the IGB.
It is important for all members and observers to know that the IGOBF has only the success of the greyhound industry as its core objective. Any criticism of the IGB or representative of same is to highlight problems and provoke change for the better . We intend to grow as an organisation to fervently push for that change.
The Bord or the Executive of IGB has no obligation to engage with greyhound owners. Nowhere in the Greyhound Act does it say that greyhound owners must be consulted prior to making changes to rules or regulations. The IGB is breaking no law when it ignores correspondence from greyhound owners. In spite of the contemptuous attitude of IGB towards greyhound owners, the IGOBF will continue to raise matters of concern. We will publish the letters on this website with the IGB response or lack of.
Our Vision
Our Vision is for a greyhound industry where transparency and accountability are the norm, where integrity at all levels are demanded and delivered, where all participants are treated equally, with respect and where corruption is a distant memory.
About Us
The Irish Greyhound Owners and Breeders Federation (IGOBF) is in existence for over forty years and is the controlling body of all Regional Greyhound Owners and Breeders Associations (GOBAs).
It is subject to a written constitution, and is administered by a democratically elected national committee consisting of Officers and representatives from each of the affiliated associations.
The primary objectives of the Federation are:
- To co-ordinate the efforts of all Associations, to safeguard the rights of the members and to promote their best interests in so far as they relate to the breeding, rearing, maintaining, training, racing, coursing and selling of greyhounds.
- To make effective representation and contributions to the Irish Greyhound Board, the Irish Coursing Club, and to the Minister with responsibility for the Irish Greyhound Industry.
- To ensure the IGB, Boards of Directors, Track Management, and the ICC do not act to the detriment of the members of GOBAs.
Dail Eireann has recognised the IGOBF as a valuable asset to the Irish Greyhound Industry by including it on the register of nominating bodies under the SEANAD ELECTORAL (PANEL MEMBERS) ACTS 1947 TO 1972.

ARK pulls out the stops for Summer BBQ
On Thursday 28th July Ark Resettlement celebrated its annual BBQ…
The sun blazed down, bathing the garden in a warm summer glow. Lime and chilli chicken breasts, mango and prawn skewers, juicy jerk drumsticks, our chef pulled out all the stops. The tree was adorned with blue and white balloons, waving in the smoky mist of the BBQ grill. People laughed and chatted, swaying to the tones of Beres Hammond and Courtney Pine. Friends from afar, came together to celebrate Ark. Service users and probation officers, volunteers and local authorities, police and neighbours, all unfurling foil wrapped sardines, the tangy aroma of the lemon swirling in the air.
It was the kind of day every organisation wishes for; informal but informative.
"We had a fantastic time and it was really nice to meet the other agencies involved in our work."
Margaret Needham- Resettlement Officer
We say a massive thank you to all those who got involved, who lent their time and shared their thoughts. ARK Resettlement continue into the future with a full stomach and renewed energy to achieve our aim- Reducing the impact of social exclusion by providing specialist housing for ex-offenders.

Hipsters vs Zombies – A Defeat 'em Up with Playable Hipsters
Chances are, most people out there aren't specifically interested in playing as hipster game protagonists. Heck, they'lso are even probably sick and tired of the whole zombie stage by now. Despite pretty much everything, there's something about Arpic Games' Hipsters vs Zombies that is comical enough to draw awareness.
Maybe it's the fact that protagonists Sweets and Ulysses both fight with "hipster" weaponry: Body art guns, vinyls, typewriters, and Warbucks Caffeine. Or maybe it's?the cartoony artstyle which ensures your hipsters look more affectionate than anything else.
Whatever the way it is, Hipsters vs Zombies is one distinctive beat 'em up. Keep an eye out as it is thought out for a launch upon Kickstarter soon.
Buying Themes about PS4 is Terrible
One of the most fun elements about modern games consoles has been the ability to colorize it for you with a theme which you decide on. These consoles don'capital t just play video games anymore, and you have a tendency to spend a lot of time while using operating system, so it'ohydrates cool to be able to select something fun that suits your tastes personally. I had been happy when The reintroduced themes to Ps 4 last year, on the other hand haven't been willing to see that it's still terrible trying to buy a concept from the PlayStation Store.

The Perception Neuron is a Game Developer's Dream
The Perception Neuron is a very awesome piece of tech C a small block no bigger than a sugar cube that contains an accelerometer, a gyroscope and a magnetic tracking. On its own, it's an amazing testament to the power of miniaturization, however, if synced with up to 31 other Neurons, it allows for remarkably accurate full-body activity tracking. The device has been billed as an ideal companion to the Oculus Rift, nevertheless while I'm not totally convinced that it will work with the consumer marketplace, I actually do see it having a quite positive effect on your indie development arena.

Helping Teens Stay Safe with Medications
It's important to help our kids take medication safely. Many people mistakenly feel that "Over-The-Counter" (OTC) medications are safe to use because a prescription is not required; or have similar misperceptions about holistic medications and teas; or think that increasing the dose amount will be more effective; and/or think that sharing their own prescription can help their friend with similar symptoms. In all of these situations, young people can end up needing emergency care for potentially life-threatening issues.
Whenever you give your children medication, teach them about its purpose, the importance of taking the proper dose as prescribed by their physician, and never sharing any medication. When starting a new medication, it's important to monitor for effectiveness. Sometimes, medications are not effective or can exacerbate certain conditions. Communicate any changes directly with your child's physician.
Hampshire Hope reminds adults who are given prescription medicine to always:
Store medicines in a locked cabinet.
Count your pills and keep track of how many you take.
Return leftover unused medicines to a drug collection box (available at the Hatfield Police Station and most other local police stations).
For more information, we invite you to visit the National Safety Council link and/or the Hampshire Hope website below:
Dear Parents/Guardians:
Recent news reports indicate that shops legally selling small amounts of marijuana for adults over the age of 21 will begin opening in Massachusetts some time in 2018. Here is some information to consider when talking with your children about edible marijuana in particular.
"Edibles" can have varying amounts of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and have a delayed euphoric effect. Because of this, users tend to eat more edibles, thus putting themselves at risk for serious consequences. Also, there is little difference between these products and the wrappers on popular snacks and candies. Products include candy bars, gummies, lollipops, and goldfish among others.
Seek medical guidance if you notice the following: slurred or slowed speech, difficulty expressing oneself, decreased motivation, and red eyes. Also, note any significant changes in your child's behavior that may indicate potential substance use: change in peers, declining grades, loss of interest in favorite activities, etc. Learn how to recognize and respond to potential life-threatening emergencies (loss of consciousness, not breathing, etc.).
While the impact of legalized marijuana sales for adults has yet to be fully determined, we encourage you to visit the resources below for further information to help your adolescent prepare for adult decisions. Special thanks to the Easthampton Healthy Youth Coalition and Easthampton Public Schools District Nurse Kendra Kuhn for sharing these resources.

Dear Parent/Guardian:
Now that the holiday break and the potential for classroom parties are nearly here, we wish to remind you of the Wellness Policy guidelines* and ask for your support in promoting wellness, good nutrition, and regular physical activity as part of the total learning environment here at Hatfield Public Schools. Consider offering non-food items, low- or no-added sugar snacks. Also, allergen-free foods are the only shared foods allowed in certain classrooms for student safety (ie, no tree nuts or peanuts in the product or in processing).
The American Heart Association gives us daily guidelines about added-sugar for most children (no more than 6 teaspoons). While it is challenging to try to meet these daily goals, we can all start by substituting one "non-processed" food for a "processed food" with added-sugar (choose a small apple instead of sugar-sweetened apple juice). Since the most common sources of added sugars in our diets are sugar-sweetened beverages (soda, fruit-flavored and sports/energy drinks, and sweetened teas), we can start by substituting water for sugar-sweetened beverages whenever possible. The American Heart Association states further that children should not drink more than one 8-ounce sugar-sweetened drink per week. If they drink the typical 12 ounce can of soda, our children exceed the weekly recommendation when they drink just one can.
Finally, the hustle and bustle of the holidays can be a time of anxiety and depression for many of us and for our kids. We invite you to review and to choose at least one or two suggestions posted by the Cleveland Clinic and/or contact any local organizations such as Baystate Medical Center, Clinical & Support Options, Cooley Dickinson Hospital, Hampshire Hope, or religious clergy for support as you navigate this time of year.
Have a happy, healthy, and safe holiday break.

Dear Parent / Guardian:
A recent review of health records required for school has shown that several grade 7 and grade 10 students lack updated information required by the MA Department of Public Health. Specifically, students in these grades need to provide documentation from their physician indicating a current physical exam (from Sept. 1, 2016 to present) and updated immunization information (see link for requirements). If your child has had a recent physical exam, would you please send it to us or ask your MD to fax us a copy at (413) 247-0201 attention: Martha Elliott, Smith Academy Nurse. If your child has an appointment for a physical exam scheduled, would you please call Ms. Elliott at 247-5641.
Also, in the event of a difficult to manage health situation here at school, we are asking parents/guardians of all students to complete an optional release form allowing the school nurse to contact your child's physician in order to facilitate care. This will be helpful in circumstances where parents / guardians cannot be reached and will be renewed annually in the future. A copy of our release form is attached for your consideration.
Thank you

Also, considering the latest mass shooting tragedy and subsequent news stories, the folks from SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) remind us about their resources that may be helpful in helping our friends and family members to cope:
Dear Parents/Guardians: Your School Nurses appreciate the privilege of working with you to help your children to be healthy and safe in order to be ready to learn. If you have not already done so, we invite you to: RENEW, REMIND, & REACH OUT. Please renew physical exams (required for Gr 7 & 10 students), written medication orders, and bring in updated medications your child may need to take while in school. Also, please complete the Emergency Contact / Medication form. These School Nurse forms are available at:
Please remind your student athletes to renew their ImPACT test every two years per school policy. If your children do not feel well in school, please remind them to ask for a pass to see the School Nurse (instead of contacting you). Parents will be immediately contacted when children present with a fever, vomiting, or diarrhea along with more significant signs and symptoms. Children with less significant symptoms will first be offered and often respond to treatments (based on the annually signed Emergency Contact / Med form) in the Health Office. Cell phone and other device use is not permitted in the Health Office. Also, remind your students to avoid eating on the school bus (choking hazard). Additional information is available in the Smith Academy Student Handbook (pages 46-47).
Please reach out to the School Nurse with any updates, changes, or questions about your child's health. We are here to help you help your child with any assistance that may be necessary, including assessing for any potential medication side effects. If your child has been injured, please provide a copy of the physician discharge/treatment instructions so we can work with the team of teachers and staff to help assure a successful, healthy school year.

Teaching Teens how to take care of their Health
Adolescence is a good time to learn self-care, to practice engaging directly with healthcare practitioners, and to learn to become a more independent self-advocate. Encourage your teens to start taking a more active role in managing their own health. Keeping in mind that we should always seek medical care for significant injuries and/or worsening symptoms, we are listing some general guidelines to consider for your conversations with your teen about their health:
"Eat right, Get Plenty of Rest, and Exercise" is timeless advice. Teens can use the current Myplate guidelines to choose balanced diets with more vegetables and fruits, along with grains, proteins, and some dairy products. They can also be reminded to eat sweet and savory snacks only in moderation. Approximately 9 hours of sleep are needed each night for growing and developing teens to feel and function at their best. Turning off screens at least 30 minutes prior to going to bed and avoiding caffeine and nicotine products also help promote a more restful sleep. 1 hour of daily physical activity that includes endurance, strength, and flexibility components is important for a lifetime of health. Help your teen explore a variety of activities: roller skating, dancing, and indoor rock climbing can be fun ways to promote physical fitness.
"Avoid germs and other toxins". Hand washing (and drying) is the best way to prevent the spread of germs. Avoid sharing hair products, hats, and foods (for those who are allergic to certain foods), Teens with signs of contagious illness and/or fever, need to stay home and be treated at home. Teach your teens how to recognize and respond to poison ivy, insect bites, and small wounds. Remind them that people who take scheduled medications should never share their medications with others. Model and discuss proper use, dosage, and frequency when giving your teen common over-the-counter medications, holistic products, and/or vitamins: all of which can be toxic if misused. Continue to have conversations about the risks of using alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs; especially on the developing teen brain.
"Teach basic self-care" for mild symptoms. Mini-meditation breaks, relaxation breaths, using the bathroom, and / or drinking water can help alleviate many symptoms. Share your experiences of occasionally not feeling 100% but being well enough to go to work as a guide to help them participate in school. The distraction of a work project as well as a school project can sometimes be helpful. Ask your teens: what self-care strategies have been effective for them and what do they notice when they feel better. Ask further, what strategies help them manage stress.
"Teach self-advocacy". If symptoms persist or worsen after attempting appropriate steps in #3, your teen needs to report their symptoms. (As a reminder, please do not mask signs such as a fever or diarrhea by medicating your teen and sending him/her to school). When in school, they need to request a pass to be seen by the School Nurse in the Health Clinic. Following a brief assessment, we can determine if your teen would benefit from a period of rest, treatment, and/or dismissal home. When at home, help your teen to track how they're feeling (what makes it better, what makes it worse, how severe is the discomfort, what times of day does this happen, etc). If they don't improve or if symptoms worsen, contact your child's MD for a more detailed evaluation. Review with your teen what to expect and what to say during the appointment. Remind them that they are helping the health care practitioners do their jobs by noting and reporting any new or different symptoms.
"Spend some extra time with friends and family". We parents can model how to engage with others by frequently sharing family meals together without the distraction of screens or phones. Elicit input from your teens regarding types of activities they like to do with their friends. Meet your teens' friends (and their families if possible) for shared activities.
Finally, regular physical and dental exams can help teens practice engaging with health care practitioners and build confidence as they become adults. As your school nurses, we are honored to continue working with you and your families to help your children stay healthy and safe.

You're all likely aware that there have been many reports of both some type of GI bug and some type of respiratory bug going around -- the pediatricians' (and school nurse) offices have been very busy in recent days. MA DPH stresses that the peak of "flu season" is not expected to happen until Feb. or Mar. With this in mind, here are some reminders to help our families stay healthy:

The "Sivuv Shearim" procession is intended to strengthen the Jewish connection to the site of the Holy Temple, the holiest site in the Jewish faith.
The procession, which makes its way around the gates of ancient Jerusalem, has taken place upon the eve of every month on the Jewish calendar over the past 14 years.
Men and women dance and sing their way around the gates in separate processions that fill the ancient alleyways of the various quarters of the city, until they complete the entire circuit.
Israeli Border Guard Police and other personnel secure the procession for the duration of the event.

DFASS secures new onboard retail relationship with RwandAir
Published: 05/04/16
Source: ©The Moodie Report
By Peter Dowling, Senior Editor
US. DFASS Group, the world's largest global inflight duty free specialty retailer, is expanding its African operations under a new relationship with RwandAir, the flag carrier of the Republic of Rwanda.
"RwandAir is an important partner for DFASS Group and we believe that there are tremendous growth opportunities in the African region" Benny Klepach Founder & Chairman DFASS RwandAir will launch a new onboard duty free retail program with DFASS, helping to expand its customer offerings and augment its current growth in new aircraft and destinations.
DFASS Group will use its network of brands and product resources to merchandise the onboard retail programme, tailored to the needs and desires of the RwandAir passengers.
DFASS will provide point of sale software as well as back office solutions to the airline.
In a statement, DFASS said it has a proven history of working with its airline partners to develop the strong foundation necessary to implement, build and grow a world-class retail business.
In establishing the new inflight duty free service, DFASS said it was chosen due to its leadership in the industry, creative sales and marketing plans, access to prestige products and global operational infrastructure.
"DFASS Group has the unique ability to deliver a proper portfolio of products that appeal to RwandAir's passengers," said RwandAir CEO John Mirenge. "This, along with its consumer marketing programmes, coupled with powerful state of the art technology, are strong elements to create a powerful inflight duty free programme for RwandAir."
"RwandAir is an important partner for DFASS Group and we believe that there are tremendous growth opportunities in the African region," said DFASS CEO Benny Klepach.
"RwandAir is excited to commence its new duty free programme to serve their customers better. An active partnership is integral to the success of any inflight programme."
"We are proud to have been selected by RwandAir," said DFASS President and COO for the Americas & EMEA Saul Hyatt.
"RwandAir is growing rapidly. We are planning for today as well as for the future of the programme to support all of RwandAir's exciting strategic plans. We are all very thrilled about the opportunity."
About RwandAir
Using Kigali as its hub in the heart of Africa, RwandAir operates one of the youngest fleets on the African continent, and reaches out to 17 cities in Africa and the Middle East. The airline is a certified IOSA operator and an IATA member airline.
This year RwandAir will expand its operations to Asia and Europe with the delivery of two new triple class Airbus A330s and one new dual class B737-800NG. Another Boeing 737-800NG will join the young fleet next year.

JFD, the submarine rescue and diving equipment company which is part of James Fisher and Sons, UK, reports its new COBRA (compact bailout rebreathing apparatus) system has passed further trials rating it safe for use at depths up to 450 metres.
Released earlier this year, COBRA is a new bailout solution designed to replace conventional scuba bailout methods, providing divers with a greatly extended supply of breathing gas in the event of a primary supply failure. In July 2017, COBRA was granted CE marking status for use at depths up to 300 metres making it the only approved system of its kind to fully comply with NORSOK U101 (diving respiratory equipment) and EN14143 (self-contained rebreathing apparatus) standards at this depth.
"The system has recently been subject to further pressure testing and has undergone rigorous assessments which have ensured it is safe for use at depths up to 450 metres," said JFD. "This is a huge safety advancement for divers working within the extreme conditions experienced during the world's deepest diving operations."
The firm added: "This pioneering technology was developed by JFD in direct response to current equipment performance shortfalls at depths beyond 200 metres. At extreme depths, traditional bailout systems offer divers less than three minutes of emergency breathing gas in the event of disconnected from his primary supply. COBRA marks a step change by providing up to 20 minutes at depths of 300 metres and up to 10 minutes at depths of 450 metres which greatly improves the chances of survival."
As the only system on the market which provides this level of safety, JFD hopes COBRA will be adopted by diving contractors, improving the safety of their divers by increasing the chance of survival in the event of a catastrophic failure of the primary breathing system.
"COBRA should become standard for saturation diving at all depths, not just for deeper diving, improving industry safety globally," the company said.

No more numbers, no more elevation gains and losses, no more explanations of the route and how hard it was. You all get that. This was hard. I'm a stubborn SOB and at times I wanted to cry and curl up into a ball and rock. You all get that.
So what is it that made these two stages awesome and totally worth the pain? Single track. Beechworth's flowing, rocky, twisty goodness. It ended the stage on day 6 and started day 7. There is a fantastic mix of tight and twisty trail with real rock drops and roll overs and then the open, fast ribbons that weave through the trees and allow you to go so fast that it all becomes a blur and drops you into that special world where only the bike and you matter. This place should be visited by all mountain bikers once in their life.
I personally think that there is magical properties that exude from single track offering increased strength and concentration much like spinach does for Popeye or the elixir does for Asterix. Once your wheels hit it then all the encumberances of fatigue drop away to let the dogs off the chain to go chase that fun, no matter what. After feeling like death warmed up for the start of day 6 and continuing to feel that way most of the way around the course we were dropped into the first taste of Beechworth single track and it was like someone had just mainlined a double espresso into my veins and booted me in the arse with a size ten. Zip, gone, see ya later! We passed some of the riders who had been killing us on the long gravel roads like the were standing still. Stomp, stomp , stomp. All the way to the finish line.
Day 7, well it started with some new single track. I got a flat only about 20 minutes into the ride and watched as all the other teams went past me. I just calmly fixed it with the knowledge that te further ahead they got, the clearer the trails would be for me. I had been held up quite a bit on the early sections so was intent on enjoying this experience even if I had to wait an hour for the course to clear. Spencer had gone off the front when I got caught up but he called me and was happy to wait too. That clear single track was a real lure for us both.
Once I caught up to Spencer the trails didn't stay clear for long. We were bombing it! It really showed me how much time we could have made up if there was more technical single track on the other days. We ride it all the time and it showed as the pair of us carved a path through the other teams back to around the 2 thirds mark of the pack. Yep, we really could ride our bikes in this single track stuff. Real mountain biking. We talked and joked about it all the way to the finish line.
There is nothing much left to say about the race. The final two days were a fitting end to the race and the elation at crossing the line on Saturday is indescribable. There was a lot of congratulations and pats on the back, lots of cheering as teams crossed the line and a general feeling of comaraderie amongst the racers and support crew alike.
My final feeling as I crossed the line? Pride. Pride in Spencer for getting up after being knocked down and finishing every other stage. Pride in how we had carried ourselves as a team and as competitors. Pride in myself for taking that first step over a cup of coffee months ago, saying I would train and be ready for the start line, and most importantly pride in finishing.
Thanks again to Russ Baker for the kind use of the image. Onya Russ!

Breaking News:
Gerry Gibbs' Thrasher Dream Trio with Kenny Barron and Ron Carter
Announces its highly anticipated debut gig,
And it's at The Narrows
It is with a breathless sense of excitement that Whaling City Sound, one of the jazz genre's most adventurous and acclaimed imprints, announces a highly anticipated debut gig. The Thrasher Dream Trio, led by drummer Gerry Gibbs and starring pianist Kenny Barron and bassist Ron Carter, will be playing its first ever live, publicly attended gig together at the august Narrows Center for the Arts in Fall River. For jazz fans, indeed for music fans who appreciate great performances, this is reason for delight.
Here's a little of the back story, and why you should care: Back in 2012, Gerry Gibbs, an acclaimed drummer hailing from a jazz family (his dad Terry, vibist/composer/bandleader,played with Charlie Parker and Benny Goodman, among others), sought out the services of two of his favorite jazz musicians, his heroes. Pianist Kenny Barron and bassist Ron Carter, one of the art's most formidable musical partnerships, have been doing sessions and gigs together for over four decades. A list of their guest appearances and leading performances would be too long for our purposes here. Suffice it to say their reputation precedes them. And, oh by the way, they said "yes" to Gibbs' request.
With Gibbs arranging and playing drums, the Thrasher Dream Trio has made two beautifully executed and enthusiastically received albums. Both records—released on the Whaling City Sound label—hit the top spot on the jazz radio chart and stayed there for a handful of weeks. The first received a Grammy nomination in the "solo performance" category. Their next record, cheekily entitled We're Back, is a carefully curated mélange of standards, chestnuts, and R&B classics arranged with energy, passion and genius. We're Back, which also features red hot, world-class guests Warren Wolf (vibraphone), Larry Goldings (B-3), and Steve Wilson (woodwinds)—takes warmly familiar tunes and turns them into sizzling standards that stretch the skills of these consummate musicians and draw the listener into an epic jazz adventure. None other than Joe Lovano loved it, saying, "Gerry Gibbs has put together another fun and swinging session with a new spin on some of the best loved R&B classics of the day …This recording will capture you from start to finish!"
Taken together, the two albums have stayed at the top spot longer than work by any other jazz artist in recent years. Yet, in spite of all this critical acclaim and radio airplay, the band has not performed in public until now. Narrows Center for the Arts (16 Anawan St., Fall River, MA 02721 508.324.1926) is pleased to present this remarkable trio in its premier performance Saturday, April 25, 2015. Doors: 7:00 pm • show 8pm • tickets $50 advance • $55 day of show

The Black Column: Black Trans Women's Lives Matter
Recently, Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche, Nigerian author and feminist, said some pretty off base things about transgender women. I thought about addressing these comments, but I don't think we need to give her any more attention. Besides, black trans women have already addressed them better than I ever could. Instead, I'd rather take the time to focus on the people who deserve it. Trans women. Specifically, black trans women, and the seven of them who were murdered in just the first three months of this year.
Mesha Caldwell was a 41-year-old makeup artist living in Mississippi, beloved by her community. 2016 was the deadliest year on record for transgender people, with 26 knowntransgender people (the majority of them women of color) murdered. So when Mesha Caldwell was found after being shot to death on only the third day of the year, it was a very sad reminder of the terrible burdens trans women are forced to bear. Very well known in her community, Mesha "never met
a stranger" according to her neighbors. She was also known for her beauty and style. Community members admired that no matter what she put on, "It looked good on her." Commenters on her Facebook page hope that she will "Rest in peace and power." Mesha Caldwell was the first transgender woman to be murdered in 2017.

Jojo Striker was only 23 years old, when she was shot dead on February 8th in Toledo, Ohio. Unfortunately, she was misgendered by both the police who reported the crime and her family after her death. The police told her family, who insisted it was a hate crime, to "leave it alone," but her family insists they never will. Jojo was "loved by everyone," known for being "funny and entertaining." Despite the police and news media's poor treatment of her, Equality Toledo was able to raise money to help her family with the funeral costs. Jojo was the third trans woman of color to be murdered in 2017, the second one who was black.

Jaquarrius Holland was only 18 years old. She was shot to death in Louisiana on February 19th. Despite going through hard times and often being homeless, Jaquarrius' friend, Chesna Littleberry, said Jaquarrius was the one to teach her about self acceptance. Jaquarrius was a big K. Michelle fan and hoped to see her in concert with Chesna. Fortunately, Chesna was able to raise money to help Jaquarrius' family with the funeral costs. Jaquarrius was the fourth trans woman to be murdered in 2017.

Keke Collier, 24 years old, was shot to death on February 21st, in Chicago. Known as the life of the party, Keke loved to dance, and had a very positive attitude. Her friends said that even when they were about to get into fights, she never wanted to fight. Fortunately, Keke's family accepted her for who she was. Her candlelight vigil was described as "beautiful," as her family "partied,
laughed, and cried trying to remember and hold on to the memories." Keke was the fifth trans woman to be murdered in 2017.

Chyna Gibson, also known as Chyna Doll Dupree, was a 31-year-old woman living in California. She was a New Orleans native and a talented Drag performer, who performed all across the country. Chyna was visiting New Orleans to celebrate Mardi Gras with her family. On February 25th, she was shot to death. Her friends and family spoke of her as a "very loving person" who "everyone loved." What should have been a fun weekend for her and her family turned into a tragic loss. Chyna Gibson was the sixth transgender woman to be murdered in 2017.
Chyna Gibson. Chyna Gibson. Chyna Gibson.

Just two days after the death of Chyna Gibson, another trans woman's life was tragically lost in New Orleans. Ciara McElveen was only 25 when she was stabbed to death on February 27th. 24 hours before her death, she showed up on her surrogate aunt's doorstep after a long absence. McElveen had just been released from jail, and she told her surrogate aunt, "I'm clean and sober. My body had a chance to clean itself up. I feel good about life." McElveen had a troubled life, as black trans women who are so marginalized by society often do. Her religious parents disapproved of her "lifestyle" which led her to be homeless for a time, forcing her to live "a street life." But those who know her personally refer to her as a "blessing." They say McElveen was a "leader" and "a powerful spirit for everyone who met her." Although her murder should not have happened, they say "she's finally at peace." Ciara McElveen was the seventh transgender woman to be murdered in 2017.

Alphonza Watson, also known as "Peaches," was a 38 year old woman living in Baltimore, Maryland. She was shot to death the morning of March 22nd. It is incredibly important for me to note, that when I started this article, she was still alive. As I wrote to try and honor the lives of black trans woman, anotherblack trans woman was murdered. Alphonza's mother said that she was the "sunshine of [their] family." Alphonza was "caring, passionate, fun" and "Very close to the Lord." Alphonza Watson was the eighth transgender woman to be murdered in 2017.

All trans women are at risk of experiencing transphobic violence. And I certainly don't want to ignore the other trans woman who was murdered this year, Jamie Lee Wounded Arrow, who was also a woman of color. But black transgender women are disproportionately affected by homicidal violence. The homicide rate in America is 1 out of every 19,000. For black transgender women, that number is 1 in every 2,600. We must take the time to remember these women. We must mourn for them. We must honor them. If you have ever claimed that you believe #BlackLivesMatter, then you must include these women too. Share the stories of their lives just like you share the stories of male police brutality victims. Speak out against the violence. Affirm their identities in a sea of people misgendering and deadnaming them. Continue to tell the loud truth: that trans women are women. That Black Trans Women's Lives Matter. Say their names.

Muscle activity
Whatever it was, for a long period of implementation of two-phase muscle activity. ochevidnoj neobhodimo permanent restoration ( re-synthesis) adenosine triphosphate as the muscle it is quickly consumed. As a result of this constant regeneration ( resynthesis) adenosine triphosphate at the expense of other metabolic processes in the number of its muscles at a
moderate work practically does not change. Only at very long and hard work there has been some decrease in the content of ATP in muscle tissue.
From the above data it follows that in the implementation of the two-phase muscle activity plays a very important role in the mechanism of regulation of the sarcoplasmic reticulum content in muscle fibers CA ion. The binding and release of CA ions in the sarcoplasm, probably depends on the change of the potential sarcoplasmatic-ical membranes. The magnitude of the potentials of these membranes, in turn, can very quickly be changed under the influence of nerve impulses.
Physical activity during pregnancy
It was once thought that exercise is unacceptable for a pregnant woman. Today all believe that exercise is not only useful, but necessary for future mothers and their babies during uncomplicated pregnancy. Physical exercise can help prevent the development of such unpleasant complications like incontinence and lower back pain, reduce the frequency of depressive moods, the probability of developing preeclampsia, improve control weight gain during pregnancy. It is assumed that the effect of physical activity is the activation of the parasympathetic division of the nervous system that leads to lower levels of cortisol – a stress hormone and to normalize blood
pressure. Exercise also increases the secretion of serotonin, reducing pain and frequency of depressive moods. There is evidence that regular exercise during pregnancy improves in the future the child's cognitive ability, i.e. the ability to learn.
However, even if a pregnant feels great and the pregnancy proceeds without complications, before Continue reading

OK So we all dream of this laundry room…
…but have this laundry room.
There are a few basic tips you can use to organize your space.
- Purge! Your laundry room is NOT a storage unit. If you need a storage unit, get one. If you don't need all the junk in your laundry room, start throwing it out. If you have anxiety about throwing things out, watch an episode of "Hoarders." You'll be throwing out things in no time.
- Divide and Conquer. Now that all of your junk is thrown away, here's the fun part. Which goes where? Instead of having piles of laundry on the floor get a collapsible 3-bin laundry sorter so you can divvy up your whites, reds and colors! Then get bins or baskets for your detergent, stain cleaners, dryer sheets, and even a bin for things you found in pockets! We love bins with labels so that it's clear what goes in which basket!
- Color Coordinate. It may sound silly, but your room will look more organized if it has a coordinate color scheme. Buy your organizing baskets and laundry baskets in the same color.
- Utilize Your Space Effectively. If you don't have any cabinets, build temporary ones or shelves so that your laundry items are readily ????????? ??????????? ? ?????? accessible Be sure to keep stray items hidden in baskets. The less you see, the cleaner it looks! Whether you have room for a drying rack or not a hanger station is perfect to hang over your laundry room door!
What things do you do to keep your laundry room organized?

I am going to be quite honest, I had a lot of fun finding images for today's post. I love photographs; something about the way they can capture a moment so beautifully and so truthfully is incredible. Honestly, some pictures can literally take my breath away. So do me a favor... relax, take a deep breath, and ENJOY the slideshow to follow.
You may have guessed from the pictures that today's theme is taking a LEAP OF FAITH. What exactly does that mean to me? Taking a leap of faith is letting go of fear and anxiety about potential consequences, and trusting that something good will follow. Sounds easy right? Wrong. Often times, I find myself holding back without even noticing it. I am scared of letting go of control, scared that everything will fall apart if I don't manage every aspect of my life perfectly.
So why is taking a leap of faith so important if it's one of the hardest things in the world to do? Truly, it's the only way to move forward. It is the path to progress, knowledge, enlightenment, and to life itself. So whatever it may be in your life, I encourage you to take a risk... step off the platform and see where it may lead. Because ultimately, it may lead to something beautiful.
"If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."
Mark 9:21

« Be good while I am gone |
| I seen dead people »
My trip.....my exhausting trip, but the good kind of exhausted. Everything went smoothly at the airport. However I do recommend if you are riding with people over 150 pds, do not sit in the same row. I made a mom and dad sandwich on the 4 hour flight, it felt as if I was being reborn.
Dad walked my ass off. He is the most fit obese hypertensive diabetic, knee replacement man I know. I still cant get over the size and the distance between the hotels. On TV it all looks like its close up, aha TV is deceiving.
Loved Freemont street, went right past the Jail to get there. I asked the cabby to stop so I could talk to Grissom but he wouldn't let me out. Later my Mom tried to explain that Grissom is only a charachter on tv...sheesh. OH OH but I did see REAL CSI at one of the Casinos. I tried to take a picture but Dad wouldn't let me.
We spent a lot of time at Harrahs. If I ever went back, I think that's where I would like to stay.
It was just such a great time. I only thought of the kids maybe once or twice----bad Mom. I figure it will be another 10 years till I have a real vacation again, I didnt want to waste it thinking of my offspring.
