Our experiential marketing arm, LUCKYRICE selectively works with key corporate partners. Amongst our service offerings, we ideate and produce events for product launches, manage chef endorsements and engagements, and provide brand consulting services.
We conceptualized the launch of BOMBAY SAPPHIRE® EAST Gin, a new spirit infused with Asian botanicals, in 2011. The launch strategy was targeted at three audiences: consumer, media, and trade. Working with a multi-million dollar budget, we produced a series of events across the U.S., including the stand-alone "House of Imagination" in New York City, and worked with LUCKYRICE Culinary Council chefs Daniel Boulud, Marcus Samuelsson, and José Andrés to endorse the new spirit
We conceptualized and produced the official launch event, "16 Hours 'til Hong Kong," for Cathay Pacific Airways fifth direct route from Newark to Hong Kong in 2014. A play on the length of the flight, guests ate their way through Hong Kong with 5 distinct culinary concepts indicative of the five daily, direct flight times from the New York Metro area. The walk-around tasting brought media, consumers, and high-level Cathay Pacific Marco Polo Members together to taste creative bites from celebrity chefs and bartenders: RedFarm (Dim Sum), Outer Borough (Tea Time), Anita Lo and Pichet Ong (Fine Dining),Yunnan Kitchen (Night Market), Xavier Herit and Orson Salicetti (Mixology). In 2015, we produced two Chinese New Year of the Goat events targeting millennials in Boston to pre-launch Cathay Pacific's fourth direct flight from Boston to Hong Kong.
We created a series of custom, one-of-a-kind dinners for the HSBC Premier brand to communicate the bank's "locally global" brand story. In New York City, we held private dinners with LUCKYRICE Culinary Council members: "La Fête Chinoise" at Restaurant Daniel with Chefs Daniel Boulud and Susur Lee, an intimate omakase dinner with Iron Chef Morimoto, and an off-the-menu dinner with Chef Anita Lo.

We rounded off the trip with a couple of days of diving around Isla de Cano, from palm-strewn Drake bay. On the second day conditions were right to head out to bajo del diablo - a set of pinnacles set away from the island that can attract big pelagics in the passing currents.
We dropped in to stunning vis and the rocks were thick with life as cool water mingled with warm in a jumble of thermoclines. After about ten minutes the hoped for beasts loomed hulkingly out of the blue like alien craft scanning for life.
Of staggering size and with striking markings they were by far the biggest I've seen. The frame above, taken from video, gives a feel for their scale - at least five metres across the wings. Feeding in the currents and intrigued by our presence, three or four intermittently circled us throughout our two dives. A jaw dropping spectacle and fitting climax to a wonderful trip.
Glass frogs & other wonders...
A fantastic night walk spotlighting with Esteban in Bahia de Drake yielded some amazing frogs - reticulated and amarillo glass frogs the most striking among them.
Tapir in Corcovado
Famed for its potential for tapir sightings, it was Corcovado on the Osa peninsula that drew us to Costa Rica in the first place. After three days searching every wallow and trail around the Sirena ranger station, deep in the park, it was with real elation that we finally encountered one. He was out on the trail and very relaxed, nosing and nibbling fallen fruit. We followed him quietly along a track for about a hundred metres between patches attracting no reaction at all. For such a massive animal he moved silently in the forest and let us approach very closely. A wonderful sighting.
Olingo in Monteverde
One of our targets in the Monteverde cloud forest (apart from mountains of baked goods) was an elusive relative of the racoons - the bushy-tailed olingo. We had heard there was a good chance late at night at the hummingbird feeders outside the park entrance. After three hours in broken rain on the first night we abandoned our vigil - some stunning hummers and great bats had sustained the motivation! Then just as we were packing up after another three hours the next night we heard a rustle in the bushes, and sure enough there it was - in the space of about 10 seconds it zipped down from a tree, drained what was left of the feeders and was off in to the darkness. We wandered home down the muddy track, grinning from ear to ear. We also managed to pin down some lovely birds in the area, including quetzals, three-wattled bell birds and long-tailed manakins. Lovely spot - and with a great bakery - what more could you want?
Honduran white bats!
These stunning little puff-ball bats, that roost communally under palm leaves, were one of the most hoped for mammals of the trip. So we were stoked to see them up close, while joining local researchers mist netting in the forest. The evening turned out to be one of our best, also yielding kinkajou, mexican porcupine, Northern racoon and our first Hoffmann's two-toed sloth.

Now it's apparently the Kindle DX. I've seen one reference to the DX as standing for "deluxe" but I can't remember where I encountered it. In general, the post is less about the large-print almost laptop new Kindle, but rather something else. When the Kindle 2 came out, the news was flooded with Kindle stories. It still is, even a few months later. But curiously enough, there isn't that buzz of excitement around the new Kindle. Either because it's just not interesting after all the ravings of a few months ago, or the product doesn't seem worth it.
What's interesting about the DX is that it displays something about Amazon's market. While Amazon is trying to sell this new device as convenient for reading textbooks, it appears like it is better suited for the upper end of the demographic - older readers. It's a strange circumstance that finds a technological product trying to appeal to both the young generation and the older one simultaneously while fairly ignoring the middle-aged group, though also trying to make a grab at them too. Looking at the DX, it doesn't make much sense as a product. Yes, a large-screen book for the visually impaired is intriguing but at that point doesn't the DX lose the "book" quality Kindles are going for? It's more of a small, flat computer that can only perform one or two functions. Seems not particularly worth it. And for the price hike? Less so.
Still, I doubt Amazon would have developed the DX if there was absolutely no market. And even as this new release gains fairly little major attention (at least, compared to the release of the Kindle 2), it'll be interesting to learn more about it. It could be that Amazon is using the DX as an opportunity to work through some of the kinks that make the Kindle 2 a troublesome product. The prospect of carrying around all business documents seems to handle one of the issues I had. Still, these are simply uneducated musings. I'll go out and learn a little more, but in the meantime there's a lot of non-tech (or detail) related things to think about.

"I'm considering seeking a judicial ruling that the description 'extreme right' is a pejorative term deliberately used to damage the Front National," Le Pen told RTL radio. "For journalists to label the FN like this is unethical, biased and intellectually sloppy."
RFI's styleguide in English advises journalists to refer to movements as "far-right" or "far-left", rather than "extreme-right" or "extreme-left" to avoid association with the judgemental term "extremist".
No such solution is available to our French colleagues, however, since they have no synonym for "extrême".
Since taking over the leadership of the FN in 2011, Le Pen
has tried to clean up its image, banning skinheads from its demonstrations and expelling members who also belonged to smaller far-right groups.
Even before then the party claimed to be "neither right nor left but national" and her father, the movement's founder Jean-Marie Le Pen, rejected the "extreme-right"classification in court in 1997.
Marine Le Pen on Wednesday claimed that the term was an attempt to put the FN "in the same pot" with Norwegian
mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik and Greece's Golden Dawn party.
Although the far-right group Ordre Nouveau played a key role in the establishment of the Front National, Le Pen denied that the party's origins was in "groupuscules" of the extreme right.
Socialist MP Jean-Christophe Cambadélis reacted angrily to Le Pen's remarks, accusing her of threatening freedom of expression.
He called on "all members of parliament, all democrats" to declare that the FN is "extreme right" on "blogs, Facebook, Twitter, everywhere" as an "act of resistance".

This is the worst breakup I've ever had and I'm not doing a very good job with it, you guys. Like, if it were a job, I absolutely would have been fired. If it were a relationship, I would have been dumped. Oh, wait. So I have some things that I'm working on to try and help myself get and be better about the whole fucking mess, and they are serious, but I also thought it wouldn't hurt to remind myself of things that hurt before that are now just things that I write about on the internet. As in, some day, in some context, this whole thing will be something that I write about on the internet. Hopefully.
In the order which they occur to me, rather than most to least painful or vice versa:
- In high school Andrew, this ridiculously tall fellow who was a grade below me (but my actual age), didn't want to be my boyfriend even though we totally KISSED ON THE STAIRS. Like, laying down. That shit hurt my back like you would not believe. I don't remember how I found out he didn't want to be my boyfriend. I might have asked. I do remember someone telling me that he liked Courtney better and that I shouldn't worry about it because she was 'a dog'. That was the first time I'd heard that in the context of calling someone ugly, and I was embarrassed because I thought Courtney was really pretty. I cried a lot. (We're going to let this story stand in for Brady and Jason and whatever other dumbass boy didn't want what I wanted when I wanted it too (because he was a person with his own needs etc but it hurt me at the time and that's what this post is about OK GOD), because if we didn't this would just be a list of boys who I thought broke my heart at the time). Also, Andrew smelled like dampness, and not in a good way (if smelling like dampness in a good way is a thing that is possible, I'm not really clear on that).
- When I was a sophomore (high school theme, I know), Rose got the role of Rosie in Bye Bye Birdie instead of me. You know how many musicals have altos as leads? Like, two. Bye Bye Birdie is one of them, and she's a co-female lead, but still. I did end up getting to sing a song at a little metal cafe table while wearing a poodle skirt with several of my best friends.
- I was in science class and Jessica called me a cunt. I don't remember why but it was certainly the first time I'd heard that word out loud, and I was simultaneously mortified and heartbroken. Also, she was one of FOUR Jessicas in my class, and I don't really remember which one she was. I might be facebook friends with her now? It's not clear. Too many Jessicas.
- When I finished my first book (she says casually while the third languishes, ignored, in a window behind where she's currently typing), I submitted it to the agents of my five favorite authors. Form rejection letters, all around. That is a thing that happens to writers, but goddamn that shit hurt. Then, instead of trying harder, I published it on amazon and felt better. Finding agents that were not already representing world class authors was too hard.
- That one review on amazon. I would link to it, but that would require me to go read my reviews and after that one review I'm never going to do that ever again. It's funny now, sure, that she was so upset about all of the drinking in a book that is literally NAMED CORKED AND HAS A PICTURE OF A WINE BOTTLE ON THE COVER, but the fact that I'm yelling actually maybe seems like it's not funny. Nope, not funny. Not upset about it anymore either, though.
- I made 300 cupcakes for a wedding, the only time I had ever made that many outside of a professional bakery setting, and it was 95 degrees and they did not look good by the time the wedding started. I took the money anyway and felt nauseous every time I thought about it for several years. The cupcakes didn't end up in any of the photos.
See? And that's not the serious things. That's not that time I (and several doctors) thought I might have had MS (didn't). It's not the loss of Cloey, or my grandma. And I don't cry (very often) about those things anymore either, right?
Oh! I forgot one. My best friend's boyfriend, on whom I had a ridiculous thirteen year old crush i.e. I was pretty sure that he was my future husband and the only man I would ever love and the only person who would ever truly understand me, tried to kiss me but for reasons that are unclear we were laying in a pile of hay in a parking lot (Nederland is weird, y'all) and I was surprised and rolled down and hit my elbow and then tried to climb back up to kiss him but I couldn't find my footing and I pulled down like half the pile. We never got to kiss. When you're thirteen, that shit is life ending.
So. This is not those things. But this is a thing that will be ok, eventually. And then I will write about it on the internet.

There are currently two YCA programs operating in Georgia, one at Fort Stewart and another at Fort Gordon. We are proud that Governor Nathan Deal announced the Central State Hospital campus for the proposed site for Georgia's third Youth ChalleNGe Academy.
The National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Program is an evidence-based program designed to provide opportunities to adolescents who have dropped out of school but demonstrate a desire to improve their potential for successful and productive lives.
In 1993, the National Guard founded the Youth ChalleNGe Program to give troubled youth the opportunity to turn their lives around. A voluntary, preventive program, the National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Program (NGYCP) helps young people improve their life skills, education levels and employment potential. Sixteen-to-18-year-old male and female high school dropouts are eligible to apply for the 17-month program, which includes a five-month residential phase followed by a 12-month mentoring phase. During the five month residential phase, students are put through educational programs to either attain their high school diploma or GED.
The Milledgeville Youth ChalleNGe Academy aims to revolutionize the YCA model. The Georgia Department of Defense and the CSH LRA have formed a partnership with Georgia Military College (GMC) based here in Milledgeville, Georgia. For the YCA students who finish their high school diploma before the end of the of their residential term, they will have the opportunity to begin classes at GMC. The goal of the Milledgeville YCA, GMC and the CSH LRA is for students to come out of the YCA program with one semester of their college education completed.

Background: Some think that statues and images are forbidden completely in Islam no matter what situation or context.
In The Quran there is one example of Prophet Solomon who had workers make as he pleased, including statues/images:
They made for Solomon what he desired of enclosures, and statues/images, and pools of deep reservoirs, and heavy pots. "O family of David, work to show thanks." Only a few of My servants are appreciative. [34:13]
Thus, The Quran does not prohibit such things completely, it only prohibits being devoted to them or their worship:
When Abraham
said to his father and his people: What are these images/statues to
which you are devoted?
They said: We found our fathers worshipping them.
He said: Certainly you have been, (both) you and your fathers, in manifest error.
To prevent such misuse, it is likely their use would be limited, but that does not mean forbidden completely.
Say: "Who has forbidden the nice things that God has brought forth for His servants and the good provisions?" Say: "They are meant for those who believe during this worldly life, and they will be exclusive for them on the Day of Resurrection." It is such that We explain the revelations for those who know. [7:32]
For example, it
is common knowledge that early Muslim rulers minted coins with images
on them, please see www.islamic-awareness.org/History/Islam/Coins/

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Therapy
The Science
A recent study in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology shows IPL treatments actually reverse the genetic expression patterns of aged human skin! After the IPL treatment regimen, the skin's genes were actually "rejuvenated". Patients who receive a series of 3-6 treatments and then do a yearly maintenance of three treatments have astounding results! You will soon realize why IPL is a staple in many of our patients' skin care regimens. PREVENTATIVE, CORRECTIVE, & DRAMATIC! We are extremely pleased with our IPL machine, the Lumenis M-22. It's more powerful than our previous device, so you need fewer treatments and the M-22 is equipped with a unique cooling plate for maximum comfort.
The Difference
Unlike laser treatments, the light from IPL penetrates all levels of the skin by emitting many different wavelengths. Lasers are limited to one wavelength, which restricts its penetration abilities, and limits its treatment options. IPL (intense pulsed light) offers an extensive range of wavelengths to treat different conditions and has a sapphire crystal cooling tip to further increase patient comfort.
IPL delivers results without blisters, burns or a long recovery period. And as long as you wear sunscreen and protect your skin you can go right back to your activities after a treatment is complete.
Treatable Conditions
Acne -Now, you can clear inflammatory acne without any discomfort or downtime. Acne Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments utilize a high intensity light source to penetrate through the tissue and destroy acne bacteria quickly and easily, inhibiting future acne breakouts . Typically, just 4 -6 treatments over a two month period will greatly improve the appearance of skin as well as even out skin tone and stimulate collagen production. You will notice a considerable reduction or elimination in the appearance of your acne. Moreover, the skin appears replenished and rejuvenated with a more even skin tone and texture. Medical grade peels are an excellent complementary treatment to assist in clearing up acne as well as blue LED light trestments and Oxygeneo facials. You will need a good skin care regimen to maintain your results.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles-IPL photofacial rejuvenation, offers a safe and gentle way to stimulate superficial collagen production, reduce surface wrinkles and other signs of aging, resulting in smoother, more wrinkle-free looking skin. These changes are not seen immediately. Your skin improves over a few months after you finish your treatment series. Medical peels are the perfect complement to your IPL treatment. Matched to your skin type, a peel will improve the texture of your skin and create a more youthful appearance.
Age Spots-IPL with the M-22 lightens and removes "sun spots", "age spots", and brown blotches on the face, neck, chest, hands and other areas of the body. After an IPL series, any age and sun spots not removed and brought to the surface can be followed with a Perfect Derma Peel to reveal younger, smoother, clearer skin!
Rosacea-a chronic skin condition that makes your face turn red and may cause swelling and blemishes that look like acne. IPL is considered to be the gold standard for the treatment of this condition and our results agree. Unfortunately we can't cure rosacea, but we can treat it very effectively. We have achieved great results alternating IPL treatments with Oxygeneo facials. Epionce intensive nourishing cream along with a good sunscreen, helps reduce the redness as well.
Broken Capillaries -Dilated, visible and 'broken' facial and nasal capillaries are very common and often present a problem as they give the appearance of sunburn, or of excessive alcohol intake. Often they are inherited, and they are certainly more common in lighter skin types, and with long-term sun exposure. They are surprisingly easy to treat with IPL and we have had great results doing so.
Hyperpigmentation- there are a number of reasons why a person might experience hyperpigmentation on their face or body, including hormones, medication, certain skin diseases, photo damage or even just the natural aging process. If your pigmentation is a source of embarrassment for you, you may want to consider IPL. IPL helps to neutralize and reduce the pigmented areas while minimizing any damage caused to the surrounding tissue. We can recommend complementary products like the Epionce Melanolyte treatment duo that will help prevent these dark areas from reoccuring.
Sun Damage- IPL is Dr. Trussell's favorite treatment for sun damage. IPL is a non-invasive skin restoration treatment that erases the damage inflicted on your skin from sun and aging. The technology supplies a broad spectrum of light which reaches deep down within the skin, targeting pigment and vascular imperfections. The goals of therapy are a more even skin tone and texture. Compliment your IPL photofacial with a medical grade Perfect Derma Peel and help remove any sunspots that may be left to reveal younger, smoother, clearer skin.
Spider Veins on the Extremities-intense pulse light therapy is an excellent non-invasive treatment for spider veins, and small vascular birthmarks. Intense Pulsed Light delivers a concentrated pulse of light to the vein to be treated. The light generates heat and specifically damages the vessel walls. As a result, the veins shrink and disappear. Intense Pulsed Light penetrates the unwanted vessel without damaging or scarring the surrounding tissue.
Telangiectasias on the face- are widened venules (tiny blood vessels) that cause red lines or patterns on the skin. Their formation is gradual. Telangiectasias are common in very visible areas (lips, nose, fingers, around the eyes and mouth). They can cause discomfort and look unattractive. IPL reduces the appearance of the red marks or patterns on the skin by penetrating the vessel forcing it to collapse.
Hair Removal-remove facial hair permanently or almost permanently. IPL zeros in on the hair follicles and kills them. However, hair grows in cycles and some follicles are lying dormant. Light therapy must hit the hair follicle during its growth phase to work properly which means you will need a series of treatments to obtain the best results. A better option for hair removal on the body at Sei Bella Med Spa is with our LightSheer Desire laser hair removal device!
Are You a candidate for IPL?
You may not be a good candidate for IPL therapy if you are prone to developing red, raised keloid scars or other forms of excess scarring, hyperpigmentation, or hypopigmentation. You are also not a good candidate for intense pulsed light therapy if you do not heal well from burns or if you have uncontrolled diabetes, as this disease may affect your body's wound-healing ability. Autoimmune diseases, such as lupus, may also prevent you from receiving IPL. Discuss appropriate treatments with Dr. Trussell. She, or her nurse Sandy, will examine your skin and any scars you have. You may need to have a patch test to see how you react to IPL.
Cost for IPL depends on the area being treated, and the type of treatment being provided. Make sure you are clear about any and all price points before you begin your IPL treatment series. We are available to answer any questions you may have. See pricing below.
Call us today to schedule your IPL treatments. Dr. Trussell and Sandy look forward to working with you to provide the best individualized care for your skin problems.
What Can Patients Expect Following Treatment?
Recovery with the IPL is minimal. Your face may be mildly red for several hours after the procedure but this will subside. Pigmented areas on your skin will become darker initially, and then wash off over the following week. This may last 1 day but can last 2 weeks.
You should be able to resume all of your regular activities immediately as long as you wear sunscreen and protect your skin. By dividing the full program into several treatments, the procedure provides progressive improvement with very low risk.
You will need to avoid the sun as much as possible before and after the treatment, and no treatment will be provided if you are sunburned or using a tanning bed. Self tanners are also a contraindication unless you can completely exfoliate it off prior to your treatment. Sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30 should be utilized daily, at all times of the year.
The treated skin will feel softer and exhibit a more even skin tone. Fine lines and wrinkles will also improve, along with hyperpigmentation and age spots and a reduction in pore size.
Rosacea sufferers will see a marked reduction in breakouts and in some cases may be able to decrease or discontinue their medication.
IPL Pricing
Full Face Photofacial : $250 per treatment or $675 for a series of 3 treatments
Localized Pigmentation: $200 per treatment or $525 for a series of 3 treatments
Facial Acne: $250 per treatment or $675 for a series of 3 treatments

CSU Live Testimonial
Testimonial | NATASHA ZIEMER - BACHELOR OF EQUINE SCIENCE
Natasha Ziemer
Bachelor of Equine Science
"I chose CSU because it offers one of only two Bachelor of Equine Science degrees in Australia and I've found it to be a great balance between horse management and science education. Some of the classic pathways such as vet, high profile rider, and racehorse trainer didn't interest me and stumbling upon Equine Science was the Holy Grail. It was the perfect way to combine my passion for science and horses.
"There is an endless supply of resources available at CSU for those who seek them out. I've used the library, career counsellors, residential tutors, lectures, and course coordinators. I also found O-Week to be very well set up, which helped with my transition to uni life. The Wagga Wagga campus has a fun, inclusive vibe and there is a country feel and strong sense of community with plenty of support available when you need it. Sometimes a rural location may lack technology or expertise, but CSU doesn't have that issue.
"The workplace learning component in Equine Science isn't until third year, however, the first two years of the course are certainly not limited to classrooms and lecture halls. There are plenty of hands on learning opportunities from chemistry and biology lab practicals, to animal dissections, horse training and artificial insemination. I always look forward to practicals - they provide invaluable learning experiences and effectively reinforce theory.
"Having owned horses since I was young, I thought I already knew a fair bit but I've learned so much more through my studies at CSU. The equine industry is always changing, and full of opposing views and conflicting information. Instead of teaching us only the traditional or the most common methods, we're given broad information on how things are done, and allowed to further explore which methods work for us. Considering the endless changes that scientific discoveries and assessments present, the best way to prepare us for the workforce is to give us the tools to adapt.
"To anyone considering study at CSU, I would say go for it! CSU will give you the platform to take you where you want to go, but you need to want to go there! I'm so thankful for all the opportunities I've had here. There have been countless occasions that have led to my growth and development that I honestly don't think would happen anywhere else."

Warning Signs That You Need Roof Repair
A roof that's dependable and durable is key for comfort. It can be a hassle to deal with persistent roof leaks. It can be annoying to see sunlight coming in through your roof as well. It's important to be aware of things that can signal the need for professional roof repair. These things include:
- Roof leaks
- Chipping exterior paint

A reliable roof contractor can provide you with in-depth repair service that can get things back on track. The goal is to forget your damaged roof. It's critical to work with a roofing contractor who is experienced and knowledgeable.
"I Need a Roof Contractor Near Me Who Specializes in Roof Replacement"
Roof replacement service can be beneficial for roofs that are a minimum of two decades old. If your roof is on its last legs, you need a roof contractor who can provide you with top-quality replacement work. A fresh new roof can be a great thing. Signs that you may need a new roof include:
- Daylight that comes in via your roof boards
- Cracking shingles
- A tired and warn out overall look
- Dark discoloration
It's essential to find a roofing contractor who has a lot of replacement experience. A reputable local roofing company can provide you with new roof cost information. It isn't only important to request new roof cost details, either. It's also important to find out more about what full replacement service entails. Cost of new roof information can help you make a wise company choice. Cost of new roof details can help you figure out which companies to rule out in the future, too. You should aim to find a business that's terrific value for your money.
"I Need a Roof Contractor Near Me Who is Trustworthy and Skilled."
A damaged roof is an unreliable one. It doesn't matter if you need replacement or repair for a church roof. It doesn't matter if you need service for a home or business roof, either. The point is to make sure your roof is always in tiptop shape. DIY roof repair isn't always enough. There are some roof issues that require the assistance of trained and seasoned professionals. DIY roof repair, in short, may not be the answer. An adept technician can solve all of your home or church roof issues with confidence.

Tuesday morning I woke up at around 7am. Not quite ready to get out of bed yet, I managed to stay there until after 8:30am. Usually once I am awake, I tend to leap out of bed and start the day but since I am currently on holiday, I am making the most of lounging around.
When I did get out of bed, I fed Oscar and Riley and then made myself the usual mix of oats, peanut butter, soy milk, flax seeds and agave nectar.
The weather was looking decidedly average, yet still felt nice and mild (especially compared to a few weeks ago).
I completed around 10mins of circuit training at home before setting off with the boys for a nice long walk/jog.
We started off at a very slow jogging pace (they are so little I was worried I would tire them out too quickly!) and mixed it up between that and walking.
Of course, they wanted to sniff everything in sight so we did a lot of doubling up on sections we already walked around ;)
Needless to say, when we returned, the little guys were knackered. They drank loads of water and passed out on the floor for the next hour or so.
Don't you think they look like moustaches or eyebrows? It is also pretty hard to tell which end is which!
My post run refuel was Fage 0% Greek yogurt, some Alpen blend muesli, a small banana and some agave nectar. Very filling and just hit the spot.
During the afternoon I caught up on a lot of computer type admin work. I also got this amazing nail polish for Christmas so I decided to put that on my nails while watching around
3 7 episodes of The Girls Next Door on E!.
Just before dinner, I decided to prepare some of my Protein muffins for snacks during the next few days. Knowing I will be off work, I tend to snack more than at my desk. I don't know if it is out of boredom (no matter how not bored I am) or just because I can, but I do tend to snack more when I am at home.
So if you are the same as me, get prepared and make yourself some healthy snacks so you are not wasting all the good work you have done.
I also decided to tackle a recipe from BodyBuilding.com and will be posting that soon!
What are your go to snacks while you are at home? Do they differ from your work snacks?

Today I had a chance to catch up with my buddy Matt Howell, who is a multi-disciplinary artist from Cambridge, Ontario, who has a lot to say on a lot of topics. We got into music, the '80's, the ups and downs of the arts scene, and more (interview below).
So What's The Deal With This Matt Howell Guy?
I know Matt to be a funny and very passionate guy who loves baseball, pro wrestling, all kinds of music (Johnny Cash to ETID), and a whole heap of other stuff.
Matt holds a big torch for all of the cool things from this formative years, like movies and video games you'd have to rent at Landry's to play with friends over the weekend, video arcades, and the lost art of making mix tapes for your friends (and sometimes for girls you liked). In other words, stuff that is pretty much absent now from our current society but which meant something to the people who grew up during this time.
Renaissance Man
Matt Howell is currently taking it all in and sharpening his skills as a freelance interviewer / journalist, reporter, and photographer of the local music scene here in Southern Ontario. That means he attends a lot of shows, and he's pretty much up on what's going on in this area. Ear firmly is attached to ground, so to speak. He sometimes even gets into shows for free, that lucky bastard!
So, as I've been saying, Matt as a multi-disciplinarian of sorts…a Renaissance Man, if you will, because he gets up to a lot. Being the personable gent that he is, and with great enthusiasm, he gets out into the community and enjoys doing things like performing for the people. For instance, he's a musician in several different bands that play several different styles of music, and has done so for years.
The bands I know Matt from are the entertainingly named When An Ambulance Needs An Ambulance, which then transmogrified into the rockin' and rollin' The Last Good Fight.
Mr. Chris And The Gassy Bubbles
He has also been on tour lately with his latest project, called Mr. Chris & The Gassy Bubbles, of which he is one of the bubbles. The drumming bubble, to be specific.
As you can see from the above picture, Mr. Chris and the Gassy Bubbles is a colorful and fun band which essentially puts on a family friendly show that all can enjoy, which includes ample amounts of singing, dancing, puppetry, audience participation, and some rock 'n' roll thrown in for good measure. The shows so far have been a hit, and Matt has been diggin' it. Songs they play are classics you may remember from your childhood, such as Itsy Bitsy Spider, Roly Poly, and this one, Little Bunny Foo Foo.
Reporting Live
So while Mr. Chris & The Gassy Bubbles are busy gigging for crowds of kids and family members who reciprocate the love, Matt also has a growing career as a journalist of sorts. Currently working for the local TV station Rogers, Matt is out on the live music scene, doing interviews with a wide variety of bands, taking photos and video footage of different bands and artists and getting the scoop on what they are up to.
Taking in these shows is where a few skills come into play for Matt personally, such as the photography, the videography, and interviewing skills, and just the interpersonal skills that allows Matt to get up close and personal with a variety of musician types.
Since he's also a fan of writing, Matt has goals to document his adventures in writing as well. And, not only that, but several podcasts are being talked about, including one on wrestling, one about movies, and another about history!
So, without further delay, check out the YTMS interview with Matt Howell, as we cover all of these topics and more!

Roundup for Ryan is an example of Southern hospitality at its best! Culinary experts and owners of some of Atlanta's best restaurants are coming together to host this event to raise money for Ryan Hidinger who has just been diagnosed with stage 4 gallbladder cancer.
Prior to receiving his diagnosis, Ryan and his wife, Jen, were on their way to accomplishing their dream of opening up Staplehouse restaurant. Costly medical bills have forced them to postpone this aspiration, but they're not giving up. You can get Ryan and Jen's full story by going to their website.
The fundraiser will be held on January 27 and will feature Atlanta's own Yacht Rock Revue. Over 30 Atlanta-area restaurants will be participating in the event including No. 246 and The Optimist. The event is already sold out but you can still help Ryan and Jen by donating at teamhidi.org. Go team Hidi!

People say that THEY DON'T MAKE SINGERS LIKE THEY USED TO . . .
FREEDOM to Express Yourself Through Your Voice FOR LIFE.
You want to take care of your voice and nurture your talent.
You don't want to be one of those singers you hear about who has a career of only about 5 years before his voice starts to break down, or the one who had been riding on her natural ability for so many years until she hits her late 30's and things started to go haywire.
You want a technique you can count on for your whole singing life.
You've had enough of the vague imagery, the vocal exercises that lead you nowhere, pushing your voice into reluctant submission. You're tired of just winging it and hoping that all goes well. It's just too stressful! You're tired of being blamed or blaming yourself. You need answers. You need help. And, you need it NOW!
You want the key to open the door to your vocal treasures.
You want to master the vocal technique that gives you the skills to sing your truth with ease for your whole singing life, and you know you need the right guidance and support to achieve that desire. You know that it is not a race, but you also know that the tortoise beat the hare. You can demonstrate patience, but you must get on the straight and narrow way as soon as possible. You have plenty of time if you don't waste time.
You need a voice teacher who can lead you step-by-step through the process.
I am the voice teacher you can respect and trust who can lead you step-by-step through the process to truly learn to sing. I will meet you where you are and give you the guidance and support you need to fulfill your dreams. You have your dream for a reason. You have your talent for a reason. You were put on this earth to fulfill and express yourself, not to hide your light under a bushel. I'll believe in you even when you aren't seeing it for yourself in a given moment. I'll encourage you to shine your light brightly and help you become the highest version of yourself.
I help dedicated singers fulfill their desire to sing like the great singers, one beautiful note at a time.
There's plenty of time if you don't waste time.
Don't delay!
I AM the voice teacher for YOU IF . . .
you are a singer wanting to get on the straight and narrow path to fulfilling your dreams.
you are frustrated or disappointed with the voice training you've received so far, or you are beginning your voice training and want to learn correctly from the start.
you desire to work with a teacher who you can trust to support, respect and believe in you and your desires and with whom you can communicate freely, honestly and clearly.
you desire a teacher who has the imagination to see your potential and nurture your artistic development.
you want a safe environment where you can sing your truth and learn to release all the colors and expression of your voice and soul.
you desire to work with a gifted teacher who can model great singing and has built a career she loves.
you are willing to invest in yourself, your talent and your desires.
you are willing to work slowly and steadily with patience, diligence and persistence in order to achieve your desired results.
Does this sound like you?
You still aren't sure? Below are answers to some common questions:
What is the technique of the great singers anyway?
I teach the true Bel Canto technique developed by the Spanish tenor Manuel Garcia (the father). In the early 19th-century, Garcia developed and taught his Garcia method to renowned singers of the day, including his three children, Manuel Garcia II, Maria Malibran and Pauline Viardot. This treasured technique of beautiful singing has been passed down from singer to singer for generations. As with many great traditions, much has been lost, watered-down, misunderstood, dramatized and embellished over the last 200 years. Especially in today's modern world of pop culture, it seems that the culture of art, truth and beauty is lost, shoved under the rug or discarded as "old-fashioned." Fortunately, there are the rare few keeping the torch of their tradition burning bright. I am grateful to be one of those rare few who is here to pass the incredible Bel Canto technique and tradition on to you. It is my great joy and privilege to lead you step-by-step through this most magical and fulfilling process.
Why me?
I am Diana Jacklin, and it is my great joy and passion to model and teach dedicated singers the art of singing and help devoted artists clear obstacles that are interfering with their success so they can fulfill their deepest desires and carve out the career of their dreams. I'm all about expanding their world through mastery of vocal technique and success mindset.
After years of collecting, studying and assimilating treasured knowledge of singing, as well as spirituality, metaphysics, psychology and personal development, and after teaching at least 20,000 voice lessons, I am here to transform your voice and career. I teach a true Bel Canto technique as passed on to me from two great singers with a direct line to Manuel Garcia (the father), and I offer success coaching to singers who desire to eliminate self-doubt, financial stress, fear of memory failure, a sense of limited opportunities, lack of support and lack of success from their careers. Your dreams matter, and I am here to give you the support you need to fulfill them.
Are you ready to Make an Impact?
My students experience massive leaps in self-confidence in their singing and artistry as well as an increase in their vocal range and freedom of vocal expression.
I give them the tools to map out every note.
They receive the support and guidance they need to release their true sound and build confidence in their own, individual sound.
I build their voice from the ground up. I teach them to sing from a source of power rather than force so that their singing-experience becomes like riding a magic carpet.
Do you want to get started on this magical process?
ARE YOU READY TO LEARN TO SING LIKE THE GREAT SINGERS? If this is your desire, please contact me.
I welcome all inquiries from the Student to the Professional, including exchange students studying in Vienna, gap-year students for both pre-college and post-graduate studies and preparatory studies for both college and graduate vocal programs.
Inquiries from Amateurs who want to experience the joys of music and the benefits of singing are also welcome. Parents seeking high quality music education for their child of any age are also encouraged to inquire.
I teach private lessons in my studio in Vienna, Austria and in Boston, Massachusetts USA. SKYPE lessons, paired with lessons in person, are also possible during the times that we are not in the same vicinity.

Fresh off the Farm and Straight to Your Table
We've long enjoyed the convenience and selection available at the local grocery store, but in the race to have every product in a single place, we've forgotten that seasonal food, grown on a local farm by a small business owner, has an appeal all its own. The food doesn't have to travel more than a few miles, so it's usually at the peak of flavor. And you can meet the folks who grow the things you eat — there's no way to shake hands and say "hello" to a corporate headquarters.
We have a long growing season here in Central Texas, so you can find fresh tomatoes, onions, carrots, peppers and spinach most of the year. When peach season arrives, you can find bushels of them for just a few dollars, and the Fourth of July just wouldn't be the same without cool, refreshing home-grown watermelons. Cattle ranchers will sell you a few chops or a whole side of beef, and you'll find that grass-fed beef has a richer, deeper flavor than the typical supermarket grain-fed variety. They also offer chickens and eggs, of course, but you may also find lamb, dairy products and fresh fish just in from the Gulf.
Many of the vendors are also talented cooks, and you can stock up on in-season jams and jellies, salsas, relishes and pickled everything. Talented bakers bring artisan breads, cookies, cinnamon rolls and pies to share with their customers. You'll even find handmade soaps and lotions in every kind of fragrance, or bouquets of fresh flowers. Once you add a bottle or two of your favorite Texas wines to your grocery bag, there may be precious little left on your shopping list. So take advantage of the many farmers' markets in our area, and you'll soon realize why "local" has a flavor all it's own.

Farmer's Markets Offer The best of Texas Farms
Farmers have been taking the fruits of their labors to local markets for as long as they've been tending the land. But our modern grocery stores have increased the distance between the dining room table and the earth that supplies our food. That may be part of the reason that there's a resurgence of interest in farmers' markets, and why the number of markets in the U.S. have increased more than 300% since 1994. Folks are discovering that farmers' markets are great sources for locally grown food that tastes of the land and the sun, and they're getting to know the hard-working people who make it possible for us to put dinner on the table. The Hill Country boasts a wide variety of farmers' markets, and there's one (or more) near you, where you can get back in touch with the "roots" of our food supply.
Farmers' markets are the place for produce. Only the freshest in-season fruits and vegetables make it to market, and since they only travel a few miles, they're more likely to arrive at the peak of flavor. Depending on the time of year, Texas markets are filled with tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, cucumber, pickling cucumbers, 1015 sweet onions, green onions, beets, radishes, spinach, mustard greens, okra, bell pepper, black-eyed peas, cilantro, carrots and turnips. There's lots of fruit to be had as well — peaches, berries, cantaloupes and all sorts of melons, including the iconic watermelons that make the summer so sweet. Texas is the place for pecans, and you can buy them for far less than the prepackaged versions you see in stores, but don't miss out on the spiced, seasoned and chocolate-covered varieties.
Texas is famous for beef, and you'll find some of the best steaks, chops and patties at your local market, much of it grass-fed. Take the time to get to know local ranchers. They can help you save a bundle by planning ahead, and buying a side of beef can be a good way for a family to enjoy higher-quality meat, reduce the grocery bill and support a local business. There's plenty of chicken and other fowl, along with the freshest eggs available anywhere. Occasionally you'll find lamb, or dairy products such as goat cheese or goat milk ice cream. Some markets even include fish, and if you're there on the right day, you may find shrimp, tuna or mahi-mahi.
Many farmers also bring artisan bread, cookies, quick breads, cinnamon rolls, brownies and seasonal pies to share with their customers. You'll find jellies, salsas, pickles and relishes, along with sauces, syrups, dips and rubs. You can beautify your skin with soaps and lotions in an amazing variety of fragrances, and beautify your home with a bouquet of fresh flowers. Central Texas is home to a wide variety of blooms, so you can fill your home with the allure of sweet peas, larkspur, gladiolas, sunflowers and zinnias during the spring and summer. Dog lovers love to bring their four-legged friends to the market, and dogs love the homemade premium dog and cat food sold by local vendors. Top it all off with a bottle or two of good Texas wine, and you'll wonder why you were making all those trips to the grocery store.

This week was such a momentous one, with the release of our new hand-calligraphed font, appropriately named "Feast"!
A brief history on this new endeavor and the release of "Feast":
It was last year that lettering artist Molly Jacques reached out to inquire about font development. Molly has been prolific in the creation of several very popular hand-calligraphed and hand-lettered fonts over the past couple of years. It was such an honor to join her and Dathan Boardman in this pursuit, and be welcomed as a designer in their font foundry, Great Lakes Lettering.
While font development was a unknown experience at that time, it was one that I was so eager to venture into. I was so excited to have the opportunity to make this replica of my signature calligraphy style available to the world, especially for use on every day and less than completely hand-crafted, custom projects.
Myself, as well as the whole GLL team looks forward to seeing how this font will be used. Don't forget to hashtag #gllfonts when you use and post photos of creative work involving "Feast"! We can't wait to see what you will create!
You can purchase Feast before it goes live anywhere else HERE on Molly's website!

W. E. (William Esco) Moerner, the Harry S. Mosher Professor of Chemistry and Professor, by courtesy, of Applied Physics at Stanford University, conducts research in physical chemistry and chemical physics of single molecules, single-molecule biophysics, super-resolution imaging and tracking in cells, and trapping of single molecules in solution.
His interests span methods of precise quantitation of single- molecule properties, to strategies for three-dimensional imaging and tracking of single molecules, to applications of single-molecule measurements to understand biological processes in cells, to observations of the photodynamics of single photosynthetic proteins and enzymes.
He has been elected Fellow/Member of the NAS, American Academy of Arts and Sciences, AAAS, ACS, APS, and OSA. Major awards include the Earle K. Plyler Prize for Molecular Spectroscopy, the Irving Langmuir Prize in Chemical Physics, the Pittsburgh Spectroscopy Award, the Peter Debye Award in Physical Chemistry, the Wolf Prize in Chemistry, and the 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
The group of P. Schwille aims to quantitatively understand living systems on the scale of individually active and interactive molecules such as proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. We primarily employ single molecule fluorescence microscopy and spectroscopy, supplemented by force microscopy to achieve resolution far below the diffraction limit.
Although our methods are tailored to investigate single molecules even in complex environments such as living cells and embryos, we found that for a better understanding of underlying basic principles of biological phenomena, it is indispensable to reconstitute selected subsystems in biomimetic environments, and investigate them under well-defined conditions. Therefore, we follow a bottom-up approach of minimal systems in the framework of synthetic biology.
As a first step towards elucidating fundamental phenomena, such as self-organization and pattern formation, we focus on the study of membrane proteins in controlled lipid environments to better comprehend the relevance of local lipid structures in cellular membrane transformations. We utilize a selection of model membrane systems, to which we anchor cytoskeletal elements and other membrane-transforming protein machineries. The very far goal of such approaches could be the in vitro reconstitution of a self-replicating biomimetic system.

I've gotten to be a part of this couple's story for a couple years now, and I am so happy to see them entering this new phase in their love. You might recognize them from some adorable family sessions with this little beauty:
But this weekend, it was all about the two of them.
When we discussed engagements initially, we talked about walking around German Villiage, but I had no idea that is where Alison's grandparents used to live when she was growing up. Coming from someone who also grew up very attached to their grandparents, I know that these shots near their house means so much more than just photos, it brings back so much nostalgia and love. And Alison, even though I didn't know them, I know if they were here to see you, they would be so proud of the beautiful woman and mother you are today (not to mention your choice of fiance). These are the things that make my job so wonderful, and I am so grateful to be a part of them.
Without further ado, check out some of my favorites from the day! We had to stop in and get some bear claws..and it makes Jeff very happy (note that the second photo was taken more out of my own humor than trying to be artsy, you gotta have fun on shoots!
Hope you're having a great start to your week while we all wait for the warm Spring weather to begin!
