It was just a few months ago when I experienced what some might call a "senior moment". I was in a conversation and, all of a sudden, I had a thought I wanted to get out, but could not think of the word I needed to express it. I knew exactly what I wanted to say, but the specific word I was looking for just wouldn't come.
Moments like this are not necessarily tied to age and have happened to anyone who has forgotten a name, misplaced their car keys, or found themselves tongue tied in a conversation. They just seem to occur more frequently as we get older and our brains lose vitality.
However, there are ways to ensure that your brain continues to operate at a peak performance level, even as we age. The key is to energize the cells of the brain by supplying it with a steady diet of brain essential fatty acids and ensuring that blood sugar levels remain consistent.
There are many supplements that have been designed to provide brain-rich chemical combinations, but it all starts with a healthy diet. There are many foods that provide brain essential nutrients, but six key staples excel in their ability to keep our brains young and sharp.
Berries of all types, but especially blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, cranberries, and strawberries, provide high levels of brain essential omega-3 fatty acids. A study at Tufts University showed that rats, when fed a diet that included blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and vitamin E, tested at a superior level for balance, memory, and speed while navigating a maze.
Fresh berries are best, but frozen will do in the off-season.
Cold water fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Salmon, herring, mackerel, sardines, and tuna all contain high levels of the brain essential omegas. Wild, deep water fish are best as they typically avoid heavy exposure to mercury, dioxin, and the other toxins and bacteria that permeate shallower waters.
Eggs get a bad rap for their relatively high levels of cholesterol, but they actually provide multiple nutrients critical in the maintenance of healthy brain tissue. Eggs are rich in lecithin, a critical building block for brain membranes, and a natural emulsifier of cholesterol and fats.
Eggs are also contain high concentrations of lipids, serine, inositol, and the brain essential amino acids tryptophan and tyrosine. All are critical components in maintaining mental clarity, memory, and other brain functions.
Spinach, especially when served fresh and raw, protects healthy brain cells and rejuvenates old and damaged ones. The green leaves contain high levels of the B vitamin folic acid which is a powerful neuro booster. Studies have shown that diets rich in folic acid prevent the onset of Alzheimers and other mentally degenerative diseases.
Spinach also contains high levels chlorophyll, lutein, and flavonoids. Flavonoids are especially valuable for the long lasting antioxidant protection they provide.
Other green vegetables that feed the brain include kale, broccoli, basil, arugula, kelp, and cilantro.
Beans are at the top of the brain-essential food chain. The dark beans (black, red, and kidney), provide a healthy supply of low glycemic carbs, brain essential amino acids, and high concentrations of antiaging antioxidants.
A handful of walnuts provides over 3g of healthy omega-3s. They contain an optimal balance of the omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, ensuring that the maximum benefits from both are obtained.
Walnuts are best acquired while still in the shell to preserve the valuable oils inside. They make an excellent snack between meals and assist in stimulating healthy brain activity throughout the day.
Peanuts, hazelnuts, pecans, and almonds are also excellent sources of antioxidants.
A finely tuned brain is a critical component of any healthy lifestyle. It all starts with a diet rich in brain boosting vitamins and nutrients that will keep you sharp and focused. You can live younger if you include them in your daily eating habits.

Hurray! I just past the 5,500 all time views wow!
To celebrate I am offering a free download of my favourite sock pattern till Monday! Enjoy! Sorry you missed Sue's EZ Toe-up socks… Watch for the next celebration give away!
Hello all! Happy finished object friday! I love doing weird and wonderful things with traditional shapes. I look on it as improvement through sideways thinking. The "Inside, Outside, Upside Down Mittens" came about because my mil gifted me with a lovely new black winter coat. I had a servicable blue coat for everyday wear that I didn't just want to toss. I was doing a lot of socks at the time and found two balls that were likely candidates. I made up the pattern in 2008 as a christmas gift for my knitting friends, so I resurrected it for my mittens. If you are tempted to try these see this grafting method, I just love it! For more info on yarn needles and where to get the pattern look here.
What I like about this pattern:
- sock yarn is durable, perfect for mittens
- sock yarn is washable, perfect for mittens
- sock yarn in this case is woolen, perfect for mittens
- 2 layers of sockyarn makes a very nice insulated mitten
- these mittens are reversible
- This pattern can be made 3 different ways, traditional wrist up, top down or reversible (2 layered, knit from top, to cuff, to top)
- they take about oz of sockyarn
- knit up as fast as a sock
- no heel!
- keep your hands warm!
For more great FO Friday, join Tami and friends
Thanks for visiting, see you next week

Establish 2006
Initiated at the 2006 Carbon Conference in Aberdeen, the Ubbelohde Memorial Lectures were established in memory of Professor AR Ubbelohde from Imperial College London, in recognition of his enormous impact on the field of carbon science.
Prof Ubbelohde had a wide interest over a range of topics in physics and chemistry but is chiefly remembered for his outstanding work on carbon, especially graphite and its intercalation compounds. He worked on this over many years, initially at Queen's University, Belfast, and then at Imperial College, London. He then pioneered the production of Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG) in the Carbon Research laboratory at Imperial College, where the properties of this material were investigated extensively and samples sent to many other laboratories.
He was recognised internationally for this work and was also one the founders, and Chairman for many years, of the Industrial Carbon and Graphite Group of the Society of Chemical Industry, which merged with the Carbon Group of the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Institute of Physics to form the present British Carbon Group (BCG). The quadrennial London Conferences on Carbon and Graphite that he initiated became major international events and were fore-runners of the present annual international Carbon Conferences. He was a large man, in all senses, with an enormous range of interests outside physical chemistry. He was an inspirational teacher and supervisor, who left a legacy of many generations of his research students and associates.

Review: Conrad Miami
1 night, points & money rate of $137 + 46,000 Honors points. Peak season pricing.
The Conrad Miami was an unusual choice for a 1 night stop on a road trip. Typically, I eschew hotels in the urban core in favor of peripheral properties for a variety of reasons, like extortionate downtown parking. That said, I wanted to compare a Conrad property with the Casa Marina Waldorf Astoria in Key West. This seemed like agreat way to compare Hilton's luxury brands head-to-head.
The process of navigating from I-95 to the Conrad was…surprisingly painless for what I expected for Miami. Perhaps going into downtown at 5 P.M. helped. Eager to get out of my car, I left it with a valet, gave him a couple of bucks (the guys on the check-in shifts can get a bit short-changed).
The street level houses the concierge and valet desk. You go up the elevators to the check-in desk on the 25th floor (also where you'll find the bar and restaurant). I was given an upgraded Bay (of Biscayne) view room on the 18th floor. Down I go in a separate bank of elevators.
My room was quite small for a US hotel room. Size-wise, it's what you'd find at a 4.5 or 5 star (business) property in Hong Kong. That said, the room's appointments were of high quality. I loved the espresso machine, Shanghai Tang amenities, and the deep bath tub separate from the rainfall shower.
The view can speak for itself.
Next errand: go to the pool. This is something of an adventure at the Conrad. From my room on the 18th floor, I took an elevator to the lobby on the 25th floor, crossed the check-in lobby, went down on a separate elevator to the ground floor, crossed the driveway where cars arrive, and took a third elevator to the top (8th or 9th) floor of an annex building. After a walk outside and up to the pool deck, my odyssey came to an end.
After lap swimming in the invigoratingly cold pool, I decided to take a stroll around Brickell. The neighborhood is very pleasant, and in an alternate life, I would not object to living there. After a little repast of sushi at Doraku in the nearby and bustling The Shops at Mary Brickell Village, it was time to unwind and sleep.
The bed was excellent, as I seemed to fall asleep immediately and woke up in good form.
The next morning, I decided to see how the breakfast spread was. It pleases me to report that it is quite a cut above the usual Hilton-family fare. The fruit spread included dragon fruit (OH HELL YES) and kiwi fruit in addition to melon, pinapple, berries, et al. We're off the a roaring good start, as you might have intuited. Japanese-style gyoza dumplings (steamed) and American breakfast proteins rounded out my plate. I might have tried a croissant, which may have been superb. For as often as I eat calorie dense carbs (rarely), I want them to be of the best quality. Finally, the wait staff deserve praise. I enjoyed their efficient, friendly service that didn't fall into the trap of obsequiousness (I find that dynamic of esteemed patron/obsequious server cringeworthy when I encounter it).
Check-out that morning was effortless. I texted the valet to have my car readied, took care of the formalities at the front desk, and arrived downstairs to find my car waiting for me.
- Walking distance to most everything in Brickell downtown including restaurants, banks, and a CVS pharmacy.
- Short drive/taxi/uber to South Beach, if you don't want to stay in South Beach proper.
- Easy freeway access for road trippers; straight shot for those flying into/out of MIA
- Highest quality, albeit not most expansive, hotel spread I have seen in the USA.
- The morgue-cold pool incentivizes you to swim laps intensively to fight off hypothermia – yay exercise!
- Unimpeachable service.
- Great standard room reward availability for Honors members.
- Without a B&B rate or Honors status, breakfast will be $40 per person including tip
- Weird layout would get tiresome for going to the gym/pool.
- That pool is *very* cold.
- Many will find the room to be small.
All in all, this was an excellent stay. If this is a middling Conrad per what I parse on Flyertalk, I can't wait to try the outstanding ones (helloooooo Asia…).

Stocks rose sharply Tuesday as investors scooped up beaten-down stocks after the prior session's selloff that saw the Dow give back 700 points.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 50-75 points in the first hour or so of trading, then jumped another 100 points after Ford CEO Alan Mulally said his company has enough money to get through 2009 and may not need help from the government.
But analysts said the bounce was likely to be temporary and that stocks may test the lows reached in October again.
"No doubt we can continue to have a short-term rally, but… if we look at the global economy, contraction is on the way, corporate earnings are coming down sharply," independent strategist Bob McKee said on CNBC.
Meanwhile, Ford reported its U.S. sales were down 31 percent last month, in-line with expectations, while General Motors saw its sales tumble 41 percent, more than expected.
Sales results from other auto makers will be sprinkled throughout the day. U.S. auto makers are expected to post declines of at least 30 percent, hurt further by speculation that one or more could go bankrupt. But even foreign auto makers like Toyota Motor and Honda are expected to feel the pinch, reporting declines of at least 25 percent.
The Big Three auto makers — GM,Ford and Chrysler — will submit their restructuring plansto Congress todayin hopes of convincing Congress to bail them out.
Toyota said it will cut management bonuses by 10 percent, amid reports that it will halt production for two days at some plants at the end of this month.
President-elect Barack Obama told the nation's governor's that they will play an integral role in designing an economic-recovery plan.
Of course Treasury Secretary Paulson is speaking in the next hour, so stay tuned.
Bank stocks were some of the biggest gainers on the Dow as several announced job cuts to help them weather the crisis.
JPMorgan Chase said late on Monday it will eliminate about 9,200 jobs at the former Washington Mutual, which on Sept. 25 became the largest U.S. bank to fail, while Bank of America is expected to cut 10,000 investment banking jobs when it integrates the businesses of Merrill Lynch , CNBC has learned.
Meanwhile, Goldman Sachsfaces a possible $2 billion loss for the fourth quarter — its first ever as a public company — according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. Goldman shares continued to slide after tumbling nearly 17 percent on Monday.
CNBC parent General Electric was also one of the top gainers on the Dow after the conglomerate said it will maintain its 2009 dividendand pare down its finance arm, GE Capital.
Tech stocks rebounded after being among the hardest hit in Monday's selloff: Intel , Dell , eBay and GPS maker Garmin all rose sharply.
But hand-held makers Research In Motion and Palm tumbled after both stocks were downgraded by analysts. Palm missed analysts' estimates by a long shot in its preliminary second-quarter results and said it would slash its work force.
Yahoo shares jumped following news that former AOL chief Jonathan Miller is trying to raise money to buy all or part of the Internet portal.
As the holiday-shopping season gets into full swing this week, it was bad news for another retailer: Searsposted a wider-than-expected lossand announced more store closings. Same-store sales were down 11 percent at Sears stores and 7 percent at Kmart stores.
Office-supply retailer Staples reported a 43 percent drop in quarterly profit due to restructuring charges, the acquisition of Corporate Expense and a lawsuit settlement. Excluding those charges the company earned 42 cents a share, narrowly beating analyst estimates.
>> Check in on how the holiday season is shaping up at CNBC's Holiday Central.
Beazer Homesreported its quarterly loss more than tripledas revenue plunged and income taxes ballooned.
Delta Airlines hinted that more job cuts may be on the way as it works to pare back capacity.
United parent UAL said it would be willing to cut capacity but doesn't think such a step will be necessary.

Regimes censor news
The authoritarian governments of China, Cuba, Myanmar and Venezuela have been selectively censoring the news out of Iran, out of fear that history might repeat itself.
In 1988-90, amid a lesser global economic slump, pro-democracy protests that appeared to draw inspiration and energy from one another broke out in Eastern Europe, Myanmar, China and elsewhere. Not all evolved into full-fledged revolutions, but communist regimes fell in a broad swath of countries. A similar infectiousness has shown up in subtle acts of defiance by democracy advocates around the world this week.
12 die in shootout
A shootout between authorities and gunmen in central Mexico left at least 12 people dead Friday, hours after a congressional candidate survived an apparent assassination attempt in the northern part of the country.
The incidents underscored the broad reach of violence plaguing Mexico amid a government crackdown on drug traffickers. Gov. Juan Manuel Oliva told reporters that all 12 who died were gunmen. He said three state police officers were wounded.
Black box hunt is on
The search for the black boxes of the jet that crashed into the Atlantic Ocean will likely continue for at least another 16 days, even though their audio beacons may be fading away, an official said Friday.
Brazilian and French searchers have recovered debris and 51 bodies from Air France Flight 447, which disappeared with 228 people on May 31.

Lots of material to digest

Fuel prices. Suggest one downloads gasbuddy. Regular gas is $130.9 in Pemby versus $149.9 in Whistler. Consider that a full size truck will use a couple of litres to go to and from Pemby from Whis, and you are ahead of the game. Drop by NAF and pick strawberries. Double bonus.
Rainbow parking. Parkhurst parking. There is no transit, ergo parking issues. Rather than building more parking, build transit options. Has no one ever heard of "induced demand".
Wiki- Induced demand is the phenomenon that after supply increases, more of a good is consumed. This is entirely consistent with the economic theory of supply and demand; however, this idea has become important in the debate over the expansion of transportation systems, and is often used as an argument against increasing roadway traffic capacity as a cure for congestion. This phenomenon, called induced traffic, is a contributing factor to urban sprawl. City planner Jeff Speck has called induced demand "the great intellectual black hole in city planning, the one professional certainty that everyone thoughtful seems to acknowledge, yet almost no one is willing to act upon.
"TM Builders was able to achieve initial cost savings of an anticipated $115,000 thanks to the removal of several minor conditions, such as a site office."- LOL. A site office costs about $300 per month plus $2700 set up.
Build an electric equivalent to my dodge ram v8 and maybe. But then what about all the driving we do up in the boonies? ie Bralorne? Electric stations in rural areas? Then yes. I would buy electric.

Student advocates are celebrating New Zealand First's policy, which would allow graduates to pay off their debt by working in the country.
Under the party's Up Front Investment Tertiary Policy, for every year a student stayed in New Zealand and worked after finishing their studies, one year would be deducted from their education skills debt.
Union of Students' Association president Linsey Higgins said anything that addressed the problem of student debt was a good thing for the country.
"The big issues for us are around it stopping those next transitions in life," she said. "Our research shows that it's making people ask questions around whether they're able to have kids, whether they're able to buy a house and whether they're able to retire well."
"If people aren't able to do those things then that has a further ramification [for society] down the line," she said.
Ms Higgins said the Association helped New Zealand First with the idea, and was committed to working with all parties in its advocacy for students.
"Significant variances in course costs and graduate wages can see some of our most important members of society such as nurses and teachers left with the burden of debt for longer. This policy treats all graduates as equal. One year's study equals one year of skills commitment," she said. "If implemented, this policy would be a game changer for students".
The Tertiary Education Minister Steven Joyce said the policy was unaffordable and would be a budget blow-out.
"We already, as a group of taxpayers, provide interest free loans to those that stay in New Zealand," he said. "As a result 85 percent of student loan borrowers are in New Zealand right now."
"They're already paying off their loans, on average, in about six years."
"It would cost billions of dollars and we think there would be other priorities if the government had that sort of money sitting around," he said.
Taxes already covered 70 to 80 percent of the costs of tertiary education, which usually resulted in a higher lifetime income, said Mr Joyce.

Re "Task force studying San Onofre plant nuclear waste storage plays crucial role" (Feb. 4): Keeping pressure on the federal government to solve the issue of long-term storage of spent nuclear fuel is necessary. The U-T did this with its editorial while also mentioning Rep. Mike Levin's new task force.
However, responsibly addressing the issue means getting the science right.
The U-T (seemingly) and Rep. Levin (overtly) have given a nod to the notion that spent fuel is susceptible to disasters spurring widespread nuclear calamity. The U-T's own reporting made the point it can't happen. Yet the editorial still includes a statistic ("8.4 million people living within 50 miles" of the San Onofre nuclear plant) that implies people are at risk. Rep. Levin tweets about a worst-case scenario "being devastating to millions of people." Neither view is supported by the science.
The issues, and solutions, regarding spent nuclear fuel storage should be strongly informed by science and engineering. The reason we don't have a permanent national repository is not because the science and engineering don't exist to create one, it's because of the politics. Honest debate is helpful, but it's that much harder to get the policy right if one has the science wrong.
Building a coalition of credible voices, who know the science, is key to progress on spent fuel storage issues. The federal government needs to fulfill its contractual obligation and remove the fuel from reactor sites, including San Onofre. Rep. Levin can certainly play a role in that. But disinformation about spent fuel won't move it any faster, and may actually serve to hinder a permanent solution.

I was looking for some good affordable fun as summer festivities is in full effect. I remember this time las year I was 6months pregnant and felt like a sack of potatoes with so much to do and little time I barley did anything last summer but this time I intend to explore, I say all these to say if you see me in these streets say hi…..
So PizzaFest was fun, over 30 food truck stand, live music, blazing DJ's, fun photo stands, basketball hoops, bouncing castle for the kids, ice-cream and lemonade stand it was pizza Christmas. The cover fee per person was 25 dollars which I wasn't aware of before I left my house but anyways the fee is just an entry fee, we get inside and had to get food stamps in order to buy whatever we wanted. I spent another 30 dollars to get these stamps, at these point we where hungry as we didn't have lunch before leaving home so we take a quick tour and settled for what kind of pizza we where going to get. I got my first slice of pizza from Wood Oven Pizza, it was like fireworks in my mouth, no lie and my taste buds could tell the difference. The cheese and basil tasted expensive, lol then I made my way to another pizza stand, at this point I had already spent 12 dollars out of my stamps.
The next stand I want to wasn't a pizzeria but actual food stand, they sold North American food specifically Ecuadorian food, I wanted to try it even though its a PizzaFest my tummy was craving real food hence why, I got rice and vegetable sauce with oven baked chicken. It was all the flavor in one place, and the chicken was not to dry even though it was baked unfortunately I didn't take pictures and don't remember the name of the restaurant. At this point I had 6 dollars left and was full so I decided to burn the calories and made my way to the stage where live acts where performing. A special act caught my attention her name is Dj Livia she can spin for ages. They also had contest and various table games like scrabble, chess and the arena so if you wanted an intimate yet outdoor time with your family you can have as well.
It was set up properly and easy on the eyes, not overwhelming like must festivals. I loved everything about it expect I felt the cover fee was too much but I cant knock down there hustle. How is your summer going so far? Any plans? I think I will be going to Canada's wonderland this weekend. Ha! so hyped,

At the moment the only feminine course and a highly effective ranged harm vendor, the Whisperer may be the quickest course together with the biggest attack velocity in MU Legend. Her attacks are extremely helpful, and despite the fact that her protection is weak, she will hunt comparatively safely as long as she maintains distance.
She utilizes the wing gun as well as the longbow, and carrying a wing gun in just about every hand is one particular of her unique characteristics. The Whisperer is capable to hunt rapidly because of her mobility and is more powerful dealing damage to solitary targets in lieu of with AoE assaults. So, if you'd like fast-paced action and also have a for style strong ranged attacks, the Whisperer would be the class for you personally.
MU2ZEN as a professional Mu Legend Zen website supplies secure rapidly and inexpensive Mu legend Items for you. Prices start at Andriod, ios, Pc. With more than 10 years of excellence, we've got served a large number of prospects.
The Whisperer moves through the battlefield as fast because the wind, dispatching enemies so immediately that it can be said that she whispers death to her enemies. Her movement velocity is considerably more quickly in contrast to other courses, and her high dexterity in conjunction with her potent bow make the Whisperer an excellent ranged injury dealer.
Her high mobility lets you rush via regions very immediately. Her strength lies in attacking single targets as an alternative to in AoE assaults, so she's very helpful towards bosses. Her defense is reduced, but her quick movement and evasion may help her stay clear of taking a lot of injuries.
Her efficiency drops a little bit in areas where mobility is limited. Nevertheless, she performs well in most other locations, so it won't be difficult to level up. The Whisperer is actually a good alternative for gamers that have a penchant for high-mobility characters with swift attacks.
Given that you retain your distance and take advantage of her ranged attacks and fast movement, it will be possible to hunt securely and easily. She will use two weapons, the wing gun, and longbow. Both of those are ranged weapons, but the wing gun is actually a one-handed weapon, along with the longbow is usually a two-handed weapon. Nevertheless, the Whisperer carries a wing gun in every hand, in outcome rendering it a two-handed weapon also.
The wing guns have a very low attack with higher attack velocity, and even though their assortment is brief, they can be powerful when dealing AoE destruction which has a buckshot assault. The longbow has larger assault electrical power than attack velocity and is quite powerful in working long-ranged single assaults. To sum up, the wing guns are far better for AoE attacks plus the longbow is healthier for attacking one focus on.
So, in the party where yet another participant is foremost through the entrance, the longbow will be far more beneficial. Inside a solo struggle where you must engage in fast battle, the wing guns' AoE assault will likely be additional efficient. On top of that, as well as easy ranged attacks, the Whisperer utilizes a variety of fight procedures these as location traps, working damage with explosions or tricking enemies with smoke screens to cover.

Living With Mobility Issues
5 years ago I never imagined I would develop a serious health condition Adrenal Insufficiency and I certainly did not expect to need or require a wheelchair. In fact when I married John I was fit and healthy and doing a lot of walking and swimming.
Sadly within days of marriage our lives were turned upside down as I collapsed and was admitted to hospital. My adrenal insufficiency was out of control for over 3 years. I was often bed bound and unable to leave the home. I developed Vitamin D deficiency and was later diagnosed with human iron problems and Human growth hormone deficiency.
Life became very different and due to severe fatigue and the mobility issues this caused I was given a wheelchair. I do not have to use a wheelchair everyday. That is because on my sick days I stay home. However if I were to go out on a daily basis I would certainly need to use it. In fact we are taking the wheelchair to Disneyland so I can pace myself and make the most of our family holiday.
I miss being able to get out and about and one thing I really miss is the freedom to walk with my daughter, to take her to school on a morning and go to the shop for bread or milk. I have lost a lot of my independence and sometimes it makes me feel a little trapped.
Since getting an adrenal pump a year ago things have improved however I can't do long distance and that means my ability to do everyday parent activities is dependent on transport.
I have recently been thinking about getting a mobility scooter. I have been a little hesitant to look into this for a few reasons. The first reason was space. We literally had no space in our old house and buying a scooter would have been problematic. Now we have a home where I could potentially store a scooter and I can start to look into the possibility of purchasing one.
The second reason I didn't really want a scooter was the looks and stares. I hate being in a wheelchair and having people look away or stare at me. Likewise I might feel a little uncomfortable on a scooter which is often associated with the elderly. However I do have mobility issues and I think getting a Scooter and the benefits to my family and daughter would outweigh any uncomfortable feelings I may have.
There are a few different types of mobility scooters out there and I think choosing the right mobility scooter could be of benefit to me. Not only could I take Sylvia to school, I would be able to ride down to the Doctor, (who I visit a lot) and again not have to be dependent on my husband to drive me there.
There are mini portable scooters for indoor and pavement use. Then there are mid range scooters which allow longer distance travel via pavement and lastly there are class three road legal scooters which can travel much longer distances and can be used on the road. Personally I would prefer a road worthy scooter as this would be better for getting out and about in my village and would be better for my weight and needs.
A class three scooter is the most expensive type and harder to store than a portable scooter but for me this is the one I would invest in if I had the money. It's something to think about and something I might be able to save for in the coming months.

Greenwich stuns previously unbeaten Wilton for a share of FCIAC championship
NEW CANNAN -- Nobody's perfect. At least not in the FCIAC field hockey ranks.
Greenwich senior co-captain Liz Stillman poked home a ball that had deflected off a Wilton player's foot, banging it into the back of the cage with five minutes and 30 seconds left in overtime as the Cardinals stunned previously undefeated Wilton, 2-1, in an a league co-championship game at Dunning Field on Tuesday night.
The victory, which avenged a 3-0 regular season loss to Wilton, allowed Greenwich to claim the title of FCIAC co-champ with Darien, which shut out host New Canaan by a 3-0 score in Tuesday's earlier co-championship game.
The two co-championship contests replaced the FCIAC semifinals as the league decided to cut short its postseason tournament due to the aftermath of last week's super storm, which slammed the region.
Wilton, which was seeking its first-ever league title, came into the game undefeated at 17-0 and ranked No. 1 in the state. Only in this game, the closest thing to perfection proved to be Greenwich goaltender Freddie Bancroft, who made 12 of her 13 saves in the second half to backstop the win.
"Greenwich played unbelievable and their goalie played unbelievable," said Wilton head coach Deirdre Hynes. "They were ready to play and we were not and that was the perfect combination for Greenwich. Unfortunately, it was a very tough lesson for us, one we'll have to learn from as we go on to the state tournament."
Wilton dominated the second half of play, pressuring Bancroft and the Cardinals defense while keeping the ball in its offensive half of the field for much of the half hour of play.
The Warriors were also given nine of their 12 penalty corners in the second, to no avail.
Bancroft, however, was just unbeatable as her performance gave her a well-deserved MVP honor.
"She was part of the game plan," said Ally Orrico, Greenwich's head coach. "We know how great Wilton is, especially with ball possession. Freddie's awesome. We knew we could let her take over the game. We just let her do her thing and told the rest of the team to focus on clearing the ball out."
Early in the seven-on-seven overtime period, it appeared as though Wilton's Megan Cunningham was on the verge of a breakaway. A Greenwich player hustled back and dove to knock the ball off to the side, also drawing a whistle for a push even though there appeared to be no contact on the play.
The Cardinals reversed field and started pressuring the Wilton defense.
Wilton goalkeeper LIzette Roman-Johnston, who only had one save in regulation, knocked down a second shot with her blocker glove early in the extra period.
Wilton couldn't clear the ball to safety, though, and the Cardinals kept the pressure on.
Right before the game winner, Roman-Johnston opted to try and clear a ball that was headed out of bounds off a Wilton stick.
The ball, however, found the stick of Greenwich's Emily Brash, who crossed it in front of the goalmouth toward Stillman.
"I saw it bounce off the defender's foot and I just dove in," said Stillman. "I heard it bounce off the backboard and it was the most amazing sound I could ever hear in the entire world. I've been waiting for this for so long."
The lack of a call on the foot contact was the second time a whistle was held and led to a Greenwich goal.
In the first half, Sydney Cole raced up the right sideline and beared down on Roman-Johnston and the Wilton defense.
Again, the ball hit a Wilton foot, forcing both the defender and Roman-Johnston to stop playing as they expected a whistle for the penalty corner. Instead, officials let the advantage play out and the ball went into the goal, staking Greenwich to a 1-0 lead with 17:06 left in the half.
Wilton wasted no time in answering, scoring the tying goal just 1:05 later on a penalty corner.
Madison Hendry received the corner and blasted a drive from just inside the circle.
Valentina Tudisco was in front of the goalmouth and got enough of her stick on the ball to deflect it high into the netting to tie the game.
The Warriors almost took a lead with just over a minute remaining when Megan Cunningham sent a ball ahead to Tudisco, whose shot on goal just trickled right.
In the second half, Wilton controlled play and dominated, getting strong scoring chances out of Jill Detrick-Yee (26:12 left), Caroline DeAngelis (2 shots with 20:20 to play), and Hendry and Joanne Nazareth, both of whom controlled the midfield and were a constant scoring threat.
Each time, though, Bancroft had the answer.
"She was on fire," said Nazareth. "She had a great game."
Added Greenwich's other heroine, Stillman: "She litereally saved our butts the entire game. She was amazing."
Both teams now advance to their respective state tournaments, which are slated to begin later this week.
"We can't dwell on the past," said Wilton co-captain Annie Lynch. "We can't say we should have done this, or done that. We have to move forward and make states our main goal."

How to Know When Your Business is Reaching New Heights
A guest article by Patrick Foster, an eCommerce entrepreneur, writer, and contributor to multiple marketing and eCommerce blogs. He gets his kicks from sharing knowledge with others in the industry. He's passionate about business, startups and all things social.
So you've been in business for a while, but you're unsure about how you're performing. Perhaps you're feeling a little exhausted and need some reassurance that everything is going well. Or maybe you've been working so hard on getting your business off the ground that you feel disorientated and need to take a step back to review your work. Performance metrics and customer reviews are two key insights that will help you gauge how your business is doing. Let's explore how you can get confirmation that your business is on track — even when you feel like it isn't!
If your business is doing well and you're looking to expand overseas, take a look at our previous post on how you can expand your business across international borders.
1. You're working with your favorite brands
One of the main signs that you and your business are performing well is when you are doing business with your favorite brands. Whether your contribution to their company is big or small, it is still a fantastic achievement. For example, you could be supplying raw materials to them or contributing to their marketing mix through SEO services.
The ability to be choosy with who you accept onto your books is not only a great feeling, it also means that you can channel your interests and enthusiasm into your work, and this will show in your results.
Whether you're supplying raw materials or are part of their marketing mix, working with a household brand is a real milestone. Why not make a long list of other businesses to pitch to? The more excited you are to work for them, the better.
2. Customers rave about your brand
Good old fashioned word-of-mouth reviews are still a fantastic way to get referrals and new business. If you deliver a great product or service to someone, chances are they will report back to their friends about it.
Customer reviews on sites such as Yell are not only a boost to your ego – they are proof that your business must be doing something right. Did you know that these digital reviews contribute toward your brand's structured data on a SERP?
Glowing online reviews can make or break a business, or take a great business to the next level. All you need to do is set up your site with schema data to enable customer ratings on a particular product or service pages. This star rating will show up on the SERP, and may even give you a shot at getting into the coveted rich snippet box. Find out more about schema data and aggregate ratings here.
You're smashing your metrics
As I'm sure you're aware, your metrics are really important. Keeping track of them really helps you to see how well you are performing across a period of time and can help you make predictions and decisions for the future. Here are a few of the key metrics to be keeping a close eye on:
- Sales revenue
It's always great when your sales revenue is rising. However, your data needs to be mined and analyzed for deeper meanings and trends. You should correlate your sales data with advertising campaigns, price changes, seasonal trends, and the cost of sales. There are more sophisticated metrics in this realm, such as asset turnover ratio, return on sales and return on assets that can tell you more about your performance, for example, how it compares to your competitors.
- Staff productivity
Unfortunately, you often need to keep a close eye on your employees to ensure that they remain productive. Discontent staff can put your business in danger, while high staff productivity can be one of your greatest assets. Productivity ratios can be applied to most aspects of your business, for example, dividing departmental revenue by the number of people in that department. From this, you can reveal what parts of your company are performing the best.
- Gross margins
Gross margins are far from gross! Your brand's gross margin is calculated by your total sales revenue minus the cost of your goods sold, divided by the total sales revenue, and is expressed as a percentage. The higher the percentage is, the more your company is retaining on each dollar of sales and enjoying profits as a result.
- Shopping cart abandonment rate
If you're running an online store, then your cart abandonment rate will be of the utmost importance. According to the Baymard institute, the average cart abandonment rate is 68% – if you think about it in terms of missed conversions, this is very problematic. So, how could you ensure that more of your site visits convert into sales? Fine-tuning your UX to avoid any potential barriers to purchase, providing more payment options and incorporating a progress indicator into the purchasing process are just some options for you to consider. Check out this guide for further information.
You're making the transition from offline to online
Has your company scaled like a dream? Perhaps it's time to step up your game from the trade fairs and a small warehouse.
Entering the world of eCommerce can help open your business to a nationwide or even international customer base. However, setting up shop online can be a complicated business. There are some questions you need to ask yourself: how will you host and manage your online store? What should your shop front look like?
Subscription services such as Shopify provide a great solution for smaller players wishing to take their first steps in the online world. These online store packages suit businesses from a range of industries, from craft stores to web design services, with a selection of templates to get you up and running quickly.
Your company culture is thriving
Another clear sign that your business is a well-oiled machine is when your company has a vibrant, inclusive and encouraging company culture. If you're a smaller player, a simple trip to the pub on the company card can be enough to make your employees feel like they're part of a community.
On the other end of the spectrum, corporate giants such as Chevron offer their employees health and fitness centers on site to help alleviate the stress of the work environment and to encourage a healthy lifestyle. This is also extremely beneficial to the business – healthy, happy employees produce better work and more of it. Take a look at this analysis of how other large businesses treat their employees.
If you want to know how happy your employees are, you should ask them. Anonymous surveys are a great way to gauge how your workers feel about their daily lives under your employment. The anonymity will allow them to be completely honest and will enable you to put their comments into action.
So, there you have it. Those were some of the main ways that you can tell whether your business is going up the ranks or not. Remember: tracking your performance metrics over time and keeping tabs on your customer reviews are two key insights into how well you are doing.
How is your business doing? Which of these insights has proven useful for your business? Let us know in the comments.

We live in a chaotic world, convinced that we're too busy to make a sandwich let alone thaw and bake chicken. This makes the convenience of vending machines and drive-thrus all too alluring. And eating something must be better than eating nothing at all, right? Making good food choices is hard.
According the annual Gallup Health Poll, nearly 6 in 10 Americans would like to lose weight. The weight loss industry takes in $40 billion a year. But yet we spend over $130 billion on fast food each year.
Individuals often choose exercising over dieting when trying to lose weight. However, exercising is just one piece of the equation. The best way to lose weight and decrease you body's set point is to decrease the number of calories you take in and to increase the number of calories burned. Nutrition is the first piece that trips most individuals up and it can be ohhh so frustrating. I cannot tell you how many of my friends, clients, acquaintances, etc. claim to eat very little and not lose weight. One reason for this is the quality of foods you may be eating and not so much the quantity of it.
Infomercials, magazines, and social media bombard us with fad diets—most emphasizing reduced calorie consumption. The quantity of calories you take in is critical for fat loss or weight management (i.e., altering your set point), but the quality and source of those calories is just as important. All calories are not created equal. The food that you eat is fuel for your body, giving you the calories needed to support basic body functions, workouts, and overall good health. Don't starve yourself!
Empty calories…
To achieve your goals, you want a diet rich in good calories and low in empty calories. Empty calories are foods high in calories but low in nutritional value. They are calories largely based in fats and sugars, devoid of vitamins, minerals, and important macronutrients. Empty calories simply have none of the elements necessary for optimal living and functioning. As a result, they leave you feeling sluggish and tired—making it harder to achieve your goals.
Good calories…
Eating the right foods will result in improved energy and optimal muscle gains. Good calories and good sources of macronutrients contain the necessary carbohydrates, good fats, and proteins. Essential macronutrients also include fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.
How do you find foods containing these essential macronutrients?
The solution…
It is actually quite simple: Eat a well-balanced diet filled with as many real foods as possible. Real foods are foods that are unprocessed and unrefined, or processed and refined as little as possible. Real foods typically do not contain added ingredients nor preservatives, such as sugar, salt, or fat.
A few tips to help you spot and avoid empty calories:
- All 'junk food' is empty calories. Eliminate it.
- Look out for beer and alcohol. These are sources of sugar and stored fats with nothing else to offer.
- Avoid deep-fried foods. Eat a baked potato instead of fries or a baked chicken breast instead of fried chicken.
- Avoid candy and ALL sugary drinks (e.g., soda, fruit drinks). These all contain loads of calories from sugar, but not much else.
- Eat whole grains instead of refined grains. Whole grains are packed with beneficial fiber and antioxidants. Replace white bread with whole wheat bread. Have a bowl of unsweetened oatmeal instead of corn flakes.
- Snack on fruits! Dip them in low-fat yogurt for additional calcium and protein.
The bottomline…
You cannot eat Special K for every meal and expect to lose weight. A – You would consume too many carbohydrates. B -You would be consuming too few total calories but too many empty calories. C – You would be missing vital minerals and nutrients.
So set yourself up for success. I can sum it up into four tips.
- Eat REAL food.
- Eat ENOUGH food.
- Eat lots of VEGETABLES!
- Increase your activity level.
NOTE: If you have seen the commercial 100 times and it is sold in a center isle, the chances are it is empty. For example, Special K crackers and chips, rice cakes, Skinny Cow snacks, etc. Their marketing experts are prey and your love of food and feeding the very behaviors you are trying to eliminate as you work towards your goals. Don't let them be your predator – take back the control!

About the sitemap protocol
This document describes the XML schema for the Sitemap protocol.
The Sitemap protocol format consists of XML tags. All data values in a Sitemap must be entity-escaped. The file itself must be UTF-8 encoded.
The sitemap must:
- Begin with an opening <urlset> tag and end with a closing </urlset> tag.
- Specify the namespace (protocol standard) within the <urlset> tag.
- Include a <url> entry for each URL, as a parent XML tag.
- Include a <loc> child entry for each <url> parent tag.
XML tag definitions
The available XML tags are described below.
Encapsulates the file and references the current protocol standard.
Parent tag for each URL entry. The remaining tags are children of this tag.
URL of the page. This URL must begin with the protocol (such as http) and end with a trailing slash, if your web server requires it. This value must be less than 2,048 characters.
The date of last modification of the file. This date should be in W3C Datetime format. This format allows you to omit the time portion, if desired, and use YYYY-MM-DD.
Note that this tag is separate from the If-Modified-Since (304) header the server can return, and search engines may use the information from both sources differently.
How frequently the page is likely to change. This value provides general information to search engines and may not correlate exactly to how often they crawl the page. Valid values are:
The value "always" should be used to describe documents that change each time they are accessed. The value "never" should be used to describe archived URLs.
Please note that the value of this tag is considered a hint and not a command. Even though search engine crawlers may consider this information when making decisions, they may crawl pages marked "hourly" less frequently than that, and they may crawl pages marked "yearly" more frequently than that. Crawlers may periodically crawl pages marked "never" so that they can handle unexpected changes to those pages.
The priority of this URL relative to other URLs on your site. Valid values range from 0.0 to 1.0. This value does not affect how your pages are compared to pages on other sites—it only lets the search engines know which pages you deem most important for the crawlers.
The default priority of a page is 0.5.
Please note that the priority you assign to a page is not likely to influence the position of your URLs in a search engine's result pages. Search engines may use this information when selecting between URLs on the same site, so you can use this tag to increase the likelihood that your most important pages are present in a search index.
Also, please note that assigning a high priority to all of the URLs on your site is not likely to help you. Since the priority is relative, it is only used to select between URLs on your site.
Sample XML Sitemap
The following example shows a Sitemap in XML format. The Sitemap in the example contains a small number of URLs, each using a different set of optional parameters.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <urlset xmlns="//www.sitemaps.co/sitemap/"> <url> <loc>//www.example.com/</loc> <lastmod>2011-12-12</lastmod> <changefreq>monthly</changefreq> <priority>0.8</priority> </url> <url> <loc>//www.example.com/catalog?item=12&desc=vacation_hawaii</loc> <changefreq>weekly</changefreq> </url> <url> <loc>//www.example.com/catalog?item=73&desc=vacation_new_zealand</loc> <lastmod>2011-12-12</lastmod> <changefreq>weekly</changefreq> </url> <url> <loc>//www.example.com/catalog?item=74&desc=vacation_newfoundland</loc> <lastmod>2011-12-12T18:00:15+00:00</lastmod> <priority>0.3</priority> </url> <url> <loc>//www.example.com/catalog?item=83&desc=vacation_usa</loc> <lastmod>2011-12-12</lastmod> </url> </urlset>
Sample file locationThe best way to place your sitemap is in the root of your domain.
For example: //www.example.com/sitemap.xml

With the proper Storage Buildings Near Me plans in hand, you can head over to the local building supply store and just hand them the materials list. Most supply stores can then gather all of your needed materials, saving you the time of wandering around the store trying to find everything. Letting them take care of finding the screws will give you time to go check out the power tools, and other fun items. This is one of the benefits of good plans with a great materials list.

Baby Bullet SSF Stop sign now
Since 1999, South San Francisco's industrial market has experienced phenomenal growth with the high-tech and biotechnology industries driving development. Currently, the city contains 22 million square feet (or 32\% in San Mateo County) of industrial net rentable area. Between 1998 and 1999, City officials approved 1,024 residential units, 2,338,000 square feet for industrial, R&D, and commercial development, and 2,232 hotel rooms. Many employees in these industries live in the South Bay. Two commuting options are available to them, either to struggle with gridlock traffic on Highways 101/280 or have a greater than 1.5 hr door-to-door commute on Caltrain. The majority of us choose the former primarily because the BABY BULLET does not stop in South San Francisco, even though our employers provide commuter shuttle from South San Francisco.
Earlier this year Caltrain undertook a survey to determine commuter density at different train stations and they should have been struck by the popularity of the South San Francisco stop. Californians are supposed to be Earth conscious and environmentally friendly, yet Caltrain is making it more difficult for us to do what is best by offering better commuter alternatives. Would you rather we drive to work, waste natural resources and pollute like the rest? If Caltrain were to add a morning and evening BABY BULLET scheduled stop at South San Francisco they would greatly win back a great majority of commuters who have opted for a 1hr drive rather than sit on the train for 1.5 hrs. This translates to 1hr saved each day (20 hrs a month) to spend with family.
The authorities are to be commended for starting the BABY BULLET service. While this is a commendable first effort, it is now time to be innovative and expand the customer base by targeting stops that provide the most impact to the commuting majority. Local companies continue to demonstrate their dedication to promoting environmental friendly commuter sense. Now it is your turn!
We, the undersigned, demand that Caltrain add a morning and evening BABY BULLET express service scheduled stop at South San Francisco.

I came across this broadcast from 9Marks Ministries this morning. It's a a recording of a discussion made up of Ligon Duncan (Presbyterian), Al Mohler (Southern Baptist) and C J Mahaney (Sovereign Grace [charismatic]). It's a wonderful conversation: thoughtful and challenging yet always good-humoured and sometimes actually hilarious. You can download it for free on the 9marks site, but as it is a 30meg download, I thought I'd give you a little one minute sample, which will download in a snap. The first voice you'll hear is C J Mahaney, the rest is from the chairman, Mark Dever.
I particularly appreciated the celebration of strong convictions (something usually not heard in discussions on unity and co-operation), and the frank and very helpful discussion on why a man could preach in a church, but not be a member of it.
I preached on Ephesians 4 at the start of New Year, and verses 13-16 make it clear that true unity always goes together with maturity. Listen to this broadcast, and you'll see why.

What the heck is a life coach?
(page 1 of 2)
From the pages of In Business magazine.
The beginning of 2014 was a very busy and challenging time for me. I got married, bought a house, continued to lead our fairly new young professionals group CONNECT Madison, worked full time, played in three sports leagues, and also participated in several other projects.
It was getting difficult for me to balance my professional and personal obligations. After talking with some peers at work, at CONNECT Madison, and with friends at other organizations, I realized that they were all facing similar challenges. So I did what any typical millennial does when he or she has a problem and needs more information: I Googled it.
To my surprise, many of the top search results were websites for "life coaches." I had heard of coaches for athletes, entertainers, and even executives, but a coach just for living life? What the heck was this all about?
I always try to be open to new ideas, so I decided to take action and dig a little deeper. I figured if I was going to test out this "life coach" thing, I might as well go with the best. I contacted Madison's number one life coach (according to Isthmus), Darcy Luoma. I explained to her my situation and goals and asked if she could help me. She said, "Absolutely."
To be honest, I was still a little skeptical about the whole life-coaching concept, but I decided to give it a shot. We started with a two-hour, in-person initial discovery session.
She laid out our objectives and the foundation for the coaching relationship and then gave me time to talk about my current situation and what I was looking to achieve in the future. I also filled out a questionnaire that helped give her a better understanding of my background, areas where I wanted to improve, and future goals. After the initial session, we scheduled two 45-minute phone sessions for the next two months.
During the meetings, we talked about my goals for the coming weeks, struggles I was having, and options and ideas for overcoming those hurdles. It was great to have a non-biased person to talk with about different situations and to get feedback and advice.
Darcy ensured me that everything we discussed in our conversations was strictly confidential, so I felt comfortable sharing things with her that I wouldn't with anyone else.
We also set up a system in which I would email Darcy every Friday with progress toward the goals we had discussed. It was a really helpful way to get motivated and be held accountable for finishing tasks even when things got busy in my life. I was forced to look at problems and situations in new ways and was encouraged to move things forward. As a millennial who sometimes needs a little extra structure and guidance, I think a life coach is a great option.
In the beginning, I felt that asking for extra help, whether from a life coach, parent, therapist, or mentor, could be a sign of weakness. What this process taught me is that trying new things and asking for help is actually a sign of strength and leadership. As Darcy told me, "Coaching is all about creating positive change, and acknowledging you want help to improve in any area of your life is the first step."

Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews that spotlights the books we are adding to our shelves, whether they be virtual or physical.
For Review via NetGalley/ Edelweiss

The Treasure of Isian & The Alliance of Isian by Serena Clarke
Staying Strong: 365 Days A Year & Staying Strong: A Journal by Demi Lovato *Thanks to McMillan/ MacTeen/ Fierce Reads* I am looking forward to the journal a lot. I used to write in one all the time but I stopped exactly 2 years ago this month, my mother passed away on Nov. 30th 2012. You'd think that I would have kept writing, but I just couldn't do it. I quit support group at the Hospice Center after one week of going. I didn't see the point, even though I knew that my grief was taking over and making me push everyone away. Two years later and I still get calls to attend meetings but I decline. Maybe writing in this journal will help. When it showed up on my doorstep (literally), I knew that was a sign. Anyways, I'm gonna start it in January.
Kiera Hudson and The Creeping Men by Tim O'Rourke *This is the first book in the third series. I absolutely adore these characters! I discovered Vampire Shift, the first book in series one, back in 2011 and was instantly hooked. Can't wait to start this one.*
Blogging For Books
The Barefoot Queen: A Novel by Ildefonso Falcones *Thanks to Crown and Blogging For Books* So yeah, It showed up in my mailbox, 656 pages long. This definitely isn't the longest book on my shelf but it does fall under the category.
There are a couple of Amazon freebies that I got also, but I will post them next week. What books did you add to your shelves this week?

Aura moderate abjuration; CL 8th; Slot neck; Price 4,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.
This amulet shines brightly when brought within 60 feet of an outsider with the elemental subtype, shedding light as a torch. The amulet glows a different color depending on the subtype of the elemental or elementals present (white for air, yellow for earth, red for fire, and blue for water). If more than one subtype is present, the gem flickers back and forth between the appropriate colors.
The wearer gains resistance 5 against a single energy type determined by the subtype of the closest elemental present (air grants electricity resistance, earth grants acid resistance, fire grants fire resistance, and water grants cold resistance). If the closest elemental possesses multiple subtypes, the wearer may choose which type of resistance she gains. This energy resistance only applies against attacks from elementals. The amulet also allows any attacks made by the wearer to bypass the damage reduction of such creatures.
Feats Craft Wondrous Item, resist energy; Special creator must be at least 8th level; Cost 2,000 gp.

Roof Repairs
A leaking roof is a nightmare for property owners. What's caused it? How bad is the damage? How long will it take to fix? Is it going to cost a fortune? At Gutter Goblins we know how difficult and frustrating a roof leak can be: They never occur at a convenient time and they can lead to significant damage to the interior of your home or office, from ugly stains on ceiling boards, carpets and walls to the start of mould, which brings a whole new set of problems. Relax. Our specialists can quickly find the cause of the leak, repair it before further damage occurs and assist with redecorating.
We provide a top-class service in ridge capping. We use a cement compound to seal the apex where the slopes of the roof meet to prevent rain water from leaking through. We also install roof flashing — the sheet metal installed at any breaks, joints or edges on your roof to prevent leaks. We can repair or replace all kinds of roof flashing: step flashing, vent flashing or chimney flashing. Contact us for a free assessment and answers to all your questions.

There once was a hat. It was a woolen bunny hat with earflaps and a large pompom on the top of it. The Hat was a world traveler because it belonged to a photographer named John Barclay.
John really loved The Hat and took it with him wherever he went. He took it on his workshop in the Palouse.
Rumor has it that John was not very careful about watching his hat, and one day The Hat disappeared from the SUV belonging to Dan Sniffen. We heard that this might have happened in Oregon.
The Hat was not seen for a while until one day it appeared in the Gay Pride Parade in Seattle, Washington.
Of course, since The Hat was already in Seattle, it decided to pay a visit to the Experience Music Project, a building designed by Frank Ghery who was a favorite of John Barclay. We guess The Hat accompanied Barclay when he shot the Ghery buildings in LA and Boston so he felt comfortable there.
Since The Hat was in Washington, and didn't know if it would ever return, it decided to do some sightseeing. The Hat went to Mt. Rainier and it was so cold it could have come in handy for someone there.
The Hat even went hiking looking for warerfalls.
By now, The Hat was getting hungry so it decided to go to Vancouver, Canada to see if there was something to eat. The Hat took the ferry to get there…
…and lo and behold it found it's favorite food…donuts.
By this time The Hat was getting lonely. It missed human contact. Luckily for him kind strangers were able to take care of him…
Nobody knows where The Hat is today. Rumor has it that it was in New England or it may possibly still be in Washington. Hopefully one day the hat will come home to his dopey photographer friend, John Barclay.

You are invited to luxuriate and experience a deep, two and a half hour workshop for the Heart Chakra on both a physical level via gentle back bends and shoulder openers during both Vinyasa Flow and Yin and secondly the metaphysical, via a visualisation and intention during a guided meditation and the deep relaxation of Yoga Nidra at the end, seeding our Sankalpa.
This Yin Yang workshop will be excellent for anyone looking to free space in the shoulder and neck, relieving tension and stiffness in the thoracic spine. On a physical level we are targeting the upper torso, back and neck. On a deeper level – anything we wish to truly manifest in our lives must initiate from a heart centred space since it plays an important role in transforming ideas into physical reality, acting as a bridge between the earthly (lower three) chakras and the more subtle (higher three) chakras. When this energetic centre is in harmony we feel self acceptance, trust, compassionate, forgiving, full of hope and it is far easier to conceptualise a higher reality for ourselves. The element of the Heart Chakra is Air and so we will be connecting to a feeling of spaciousness, expansion and inspired freedom via movement and breath.
Saturday, 25 Jan 2020
15:00 - 17:30
This event runs from 15:00 until 17:30
Select Option Below
Samantha is a qualified Vinyasa flow and Hatha Yoga teacher. Drawing on 10 years' of practice, Samantha weaves elements of Jivamukti, Kundalini in addition to Yin and Restorative to create an intelligent flow style, one in which can be adapted to varying levels and tempos.
We will begin with a powerful intention / sankalpa setting garnering personal meaning during a quiet guided heart centred meditation. There will be a short talk on the dynamics and themes of the heart chakra, meridians that serve the heart chakra and intentions so we are firm in our practice.
You will be taken through a flow / dynamic moving meditation to target the heart chakra by way of accessing muscles / joints associated with the chest and heart space. The flow is open level since variations of mild to strong backbends will be provided.
An opportunity exists to soften and melt further into the heart space by means of gentle, restorative back bends supported by bolsters and blocks, enabling us to experience true stillness, calmness of being and presence via various techniques in breathing, awareness and mindfulness.
Our attention will be taken back our intentions as we embed these into our subconscious. It is guided meditation whilst lying down & it is the bridge between wakefulness and sleep. Yoga Nidra is said to change the nature of the mind by access to both the unconscious and subconscious states.
Please note: all our workshops and events have a 14 days prior event cancellation policy. We will not be able to offer any refunds if you cancel within 14 days, but we would accept your family member or friend to attend in your place.
