what is a yoga chef?
Yoga literally means "to yoke" – meaning to combine mind, body, spirit, and practice. Just as we combine these qualities on the mat, so can we in the kitchen. As yoga retreats become more prolific, there is a growing need for grounded conscious chefs to cook for retreats, individuals, and groups. We are here to support this movement!
Rates vary depending on food style, chef's experience, logistics, and guest count, and while all chefs set their own rates, we adhere to industry standards. Newer chefs will have lower rates so they can gain experience, and seasoned chefs will charge professional rates. Expect to pay private chef rates for under 10 guests, and a per person set cost for retreats over ten guests. Please let us know what your ideal budget and desired menu are when you contact us so we can pair you with a chef within your range. There is never any charge for connection.
We work with a community of yoga chefs with unique training, philosophies, and life experiences; and so each will have unique menus. All chefs have vegan and plant-based menus, but some may also offer Ayurvedic, raw vegan, paleo, pescatarian, farm-to-table (plant-based and/or meat and poultry), along with other styles.

words from the owner
As a practicing yoga teacher myself, I understand on many levels the importance of having an on-site chef who understands holistic health and yoga philosophy.
The vast majority of our chefs are avid yogis, and have ongoing personal spiritual practices, so we understand the importance of the food staying in alignment with all other aspects of the experience.
Our chefs work with yoga teachers and retreat leaders to create custom menus that support their physical and spiritual intentions.
I have been told over and over by retreat leaders and guests, that having conscious food, and a mindful presence in the kitchen, is integral for any successful retreat. Food inspires conversation, community, and synergy in any intentional setting.
It is a true honor to be invited into experiences like these to provide something as as vital as nurturing food so leaders can focus on their guests and attendees can focus on what is very important: healing.
~Kyra Bramble, owner/founder, RYT, Le Cordon Bleu chef

I hired Lindsey as my chef for a weekend yoga retreat in Point Reyes, CA. Lindsey is super loving in everything she does and it showed up as thoughtfully crafted, delicious and healthy food. It also showed up as her ability to connect to each participant on the retreat with warm, friendly vibes and always a good hug! Lindsey wasn't just the chef on our retreat, she was an integral part to everyone feeling cared for! Lindsey was professional, creative and intentional and I can't wait to hire her again for my next retreat!
–Diana Openheim, yoga instructor
I was ever so fortunate to attend a retreat in which all meals were prepared by Lindsey. This was a little challenging for me; to let go of all control of cooking. I have some food allergies. I always tend to prepare my own meals. Well, not only was I pleasantly surprised by how delicious all the food was but I was amazed by Lindsey's passion for cooking. She was extremely mindful to my restrictions and prepared alternative options for me. Her passion for cooking is evident in her food. I would highly recommend Lindsey to anyone, Her food is all organic, fresh and delicious.
Sharon Burke, artist & yoga instructor
Kyra, thank you not only for making us such incredible food, but for being so delightful, fun, friendly, and considerate! I'm amazed how you were able to make fantastic tasting, healthy, nourishing meals for us. I really appreciate how you always went the extra mile, whether it was supplementing for a food allergy I have, preparing my packed lunch for me when I was forgetful, or explaining to us what went into your creations and how they were made. Anyone who gets the chance to eat your food is in for a treat!
-Mike Gittleman
Kyra created fabulous, fresh, wholesome meals inspired by the bounty of the land. Her joy of preparing food for others, as well as her enthusiasm for sharing her secrets, turned each meal into a celebration. I returned home and began preparing new creations to share with loved ones- starting with my first attempt at chocolate avocado mousse. The mousse exemplifies what is great about Kyra's creations – simple ingredients plus loving preparation resulting in dishes that are both artistic and satisfying. Kyra will definitely be my top choice as resident chef!

I am writing and sharing this to support anyone who experiences depression – so you know you are not alone and so you may be able to feel less afraid of it.
As 2018 comes to a close I want to share that this has been one of my most difficult years in terms of depression. It has been a low-lying, miserable depression which prevents me from believing in myself, which just sucks the life out of life.
Now here's the thing about depression, I am not unhappy – I have a lovely little life with my family and I have the best little business – I laugh, I love, I smile, I plan, I do, I hope and I cope – but this year I have also struggled, I am struggling, to stay positive, to accept me, to feel good enough.
My default – like so many other people – is worthlessness and feeling useless: it can be all consuming and crippling but I am lucky, I have robust coping strategies, brilliant support and there is almost a sense of familiarity when the black dog visits. I am not often a gloomy, negative person, I am just quiet and I want to hide and sleep. So it does take a lot of energy to motivate myself, to find some get-up-and-go, to believe in myself rather than giving in to I'm-Not-Good-Enough thoughts.
This year I have felt more Eeyore, when I would rather be more Pooh, with a touch of Tigger. When I have energy, I feel invincible. This year I have mainly needed to feel safe.
My coping strategies are varied but they can often make a difference…
- resting & sleeping when I need to – it can be about deep rest, pjs and early nights
- reducing stress and simplifying life which means saying no more often
- feeling comfortable and safe – with good friends and family or just staying in more
- writing to offload and writing to focus and clear my mind – it gives me something positive to focus on, especially when negative thinking creeps in
- walking – sometimes I have to force myself out the door but it always worth it
- working – I love my work
- no booze to drown out all the shit – it just doesn't help when I feel low
- cuddling my kids – because who doesn't want to cuddle their kids?
- watching favourite movies or any movies because films are important as books to me – I will cuddle up with any kid or my husband who is quiet
- curling up with a book – and god help anyone who interrupts me
- going with it, rather than battling with it – sometimes it is a wave to ride and I just have to accept it
- breathing practice – to keep me calm and focused and less stressed
- lists to keep me on track with work and with life – always essential
- knowing it will ease again – it always eases again, eventually
- eating well – junk and sugar don't help, neither does irregular eating
- believing in me – knowing that the negative thoughts I get are not the real me
I live with depression and I do not feel weak and I no longer feel damaged but I do feel the need to do what feels right for me, to slow down, to give myself a break and to allow my head to rest when I need it. Coping strategies will be different for everyone. After years of depression I now know how best to cope.
Acceptance can a huge part of managing depression – for me, hoping it would go away, so I would be 'better' was not helpful. Accepting that depression is a part of my life, that it comes and goes, that I needed to learn to live with it has been the best strategy . Now, I am kinder to myself and I can look after myself. And I know myself better – I know how I act, think and process, I know what I need.
For some people, depression lasts a lifetime, for others it is short-term – depression is very misunderstood and it is very unique to us all so we all need to find our own coping strategies: this doesn't necessarily make it easier but we can feel better equipped to deal with the rough days/weeks/months.
Therapy and anti-depressants can also be part of managing depression. Good therapy in the past has equipped me with the coping skills I now use and medication has worked in the past when I have needed it to get back some control.
And you may need to just hang on when it is hard: sometimes depression is low level misery, sometimes it is rough – desperately, painfully, cripplingly rough, when all you can do is cling. Look after you and get all the support you need. It can also make a difference to know who your support team is – some people will not understand, they just won't get it; other people will just let you down or ignore you until you contact them again; but others will be there to listen, to help and support, to keep checking in with you when you go quiet. It could be a small group but find your support team.
Reach out, share, be honest with others, be honest with you. Depression can be tough and miserable and lonely but you've got this. I don't want depression to be a dirty little secret, something to hide, something to be ashamed of – that doesn't help anyone. I am immensely proud of working hard to develop coping strategies that work, of the changes I have made, of being able to accept it and live with it. It has been a tough year but so much good change has come out of it and sometimes we need to put ourselves first for better health.
My depression has made me strong and resilient and it makes me very good at my job and this is what keeps me going when I just want to curl up into a ball.

Spade Desmond was a hypnotist who came out west to seek his fortune. The Rawhide Kid watched him arrive on a stage coach and decided to keep an eye on him, noting his strange appearance. Spade went to the town saloon and hypnotized the bartender into giving him a free drink. The patrons of the bar found this to be very strange behaviour for the bartender and began to question Desmond. After Desmond caused the owner of the saloon to act like an ape, several men began to attack him. The Rawhide Kid decided to protect the unarmed man and the angry mob soon left Desmond alone. Desmond then came up with the idea to hypnotize the Kid into being his henchman, believing that no one would dare question him with the Kid on his side. Sure enough, Desmond succeeded in hypnotizing the Kid and went on a crime spree in the town as no one was willing to test the guns of the Rawhide Kid. Finally the pair robbed the town bank but were opposed by the sheriff. Desmond commanded the Kid to shoot the sheriff down in cold blood, but as the Kid was not a murderer he was able to break free of Desmond's control and easily outfought him. Desmond was subsequently taken into custody by the sheriff.
Powers and Abilities
Spade Desmond was a hypnotist, able to get others to obey his commands by looking him in the eye. It seemed he could only control one person at a time, as he was seemingly helpless when a group of men attacked him at once. Also, it seems that he was unable to make someone do something that was completly uncharacteristic for them to do. In the case of the Rawhide Kid, he refused to murder an innocent person, breaking Desmond's control over him.

In the news...
Fitch Ratings-New York-07 July 2009: Recovery rates on defaulted U.S. bonds and loans have dropped sharply in 2009, averaging just 21.8% and 57.5%, respectively, according to a new Fitch Ratings study. This occurred as the U.S. high yield default rate - which a year ago stood at just 2.4% on an annual basis - soared to 9.5% in the first six months of 2009.
'The weak economy and still difficult funding conditions are having an unwelcome dual negative effect on credit losses - driving up corporate defaults and simultaneously depressing recovery rates,' said Mariarosa Verde, Managing Director and Head of Fitch Credit Market Research.
Fitch's report, titled 'Defaults Surge, Recoveries Sink in 2009: Understanding the Fundamental and Cyclical Drivers of Corporate Recovery Rates', discusses the many complex variables that influence corporate recovery rates, offering a multidimensional view of recovery rates - default to emergence, market price to bankruptcy resolution, firm value to debt instrument and peak to trough. Companies in Fitch's study that defaulted and filed for bankruptcy from 2000-2006 on average emerged from bankruptcy with just 35% of their pre-bankruptcy debt and 53% of their pre-bankruptcy asset value.
Aggressive underwriting in the leveraged finance market from 2005-2007, for example, is playing a role in current recovery trends, especially with respect to loans. Loan recovery rates in 2009 are running well below historical levels, even lower than those associated with the 2001-2002 period.
In the study, Fitch also discusses the relationship between the three main measures of recovery; the 30-day post default price, the price of the pre-petition instruments at emergence from bankruptcy and recovery outcomes from actual bankruptcy documents.
'The average 30-day price of defaulted bonds and loans from 2000-2006 was 31% and 72% of par, respectively, for companies in Fitch's study,' said Eric Rosenthal, Senior Director of Fitch Credit Market Research. 'At emergence, the same bonds and loans traded at 41% and 81% of par, respectively.'
Fitch also examines recovery rates in 2009 relative to the trading prices of the defaulted bonds at the beginning of the year.
Market prices fell so precipitously in the last turbulent quarter of 2008 that on a mark-to-market basis defaults in the first part of 2009 have resulted in limited incremental losses. Fitch finds that while the average bond recovery rate through May was just 21.8% of par, at the beginning of the year the same bonds were already trading at a very low 25% of par.
Fitch believes that defaults and grim recovery rates will not ease in 2009. The U.S. high yield default rate is expected to end the year in a range of 15% to 18%.
The new study is available on Fitch's web site at 'www.fitchratings.com' under the Credit Market Research Link.
And additional tidbits after reading The banking backdrop for 2009 and Welcome to the Big Bank Bamboozle!: (I am adding additional bank shorts to my portfolio, primarily due to the ridiculous run up in pricing, which has created new opportunities. The requisite research will be published to subscribers within a couple of weeks)
- Delinquencies on home-equity loans climbed to 3.52 percent of all accounts from 3.03 percent in the fourth quarter, and late payments on home-equity lines of credit climbed to a record 1.89 percent, the group reported today. An index of eight types of loans rose for a fourth straight quarter, to 3.23 percent from 3.22 percent in October through December, the group said - Bloomberg
- U.S. banks may have to raise as much as $300 billion to cover growing credit losses and regulators' future capital requirements, Deutsche Bank AG said - Bloomberg
- Delinquencies on the value of all card debt soared to a record 6.60 percent from 5.52 percent in the fourth quarter as more cardholders relied on plastic to meet day-to-day expenses, the American Bankers Association said. Late payments on home equity loans rose to 3.52 percent from 3.03 percent, and on home equity lines of credit climbed to 1.89 percent from 1.46 percent - Reuters
- The U.S. office market vacancy rate reached 15.9 percent in the second quarter, its highest in four years and rent fell by the largest amount in more than seven as demand from companies and other office renters remained weak, real estate research firm Reis said Inc. "It's bad," Reis director of research Victor Calanog said. "It's decaying and getting worse. Given the depth and magnitude of the recession, you can argue that we are facing a storm of epic proportions and we're only at the beginning - Reuters
- California's credit rating was cut for the second time in as many weeks by Fitch Ratings after a stalemate over how to close a $26 billion budget deficit forced the most-populous U.S. state to pay some bills with IOUs. Fitch lowered its rating of California's general obligation bonds by two steps to BBB from A-, placing the debt two ranks about so-called high-yield, high-risk junk ratings, and said the state may be cut further. The credit-rating company last lowered its assessment of California on June 25 - Bloomberg
- Big Banks Don't Want California's IOUs - WSJ, Ryan Knutson
- Unseasonable weather and consumers without the stimulus boost they received last year were expected to have dampened U.S. retail sales in June, analysts said. The month was "particularly challenging" for stores selling summer products as the first three weeks were cooler and wetter than usual, according to weather tracking firm Planalytics - Reuters
- The world's most affluent nations will take decades to work off the biggest buildup in debt since World War II. The political costs may be permanent, laid bare at this week's Group of Eight summit of leading industrial powers - Bloomberg
- Standard & Poor's Monday boosted its expectations for losses on risky loans backing U.S. mortgage securities to as much as 40 percent, suggesting a darkened outlook for the troubled housing market - CNBC (Reuters)
- Deluge Of Defaults — Another 18 companies defaulted on their debt in June, pushing the rate to an alarming 9.16% - Forbes
- The Secrets of Goldman Sachs - BusinessWeek, David Henry
- 500,000 Canadians 90 Days Behind on Credit Payments, Delinquency Rate Hits 1.52%; US Delinquency Rate is 1.32% - Mike Shedlock
- The U.S. futures market regulator said Tuesday it will hold hearings this summer on whether to limit investor positions in commodities to address rampant speculation that has roiled the prices of everything from oil to wheat and corn in the last few years - MarketWatch,
- The stock market is still in danger of breaking through its March lows as the economy continues to struggle, economist David Rosenberg told CNBC. An additional round of government stimulus is likely to have little more impact than "cushioning the blow" of unemployment that will "easily" break the post-World War II high of 10.8 percent in 1982, said Rosenberg, chief economist and strategist at Gluskin Sheff. "Could we see a new low? Who's to say that we couldn't?" he said. "A lot's going to depend on the economic outlook. I don't think another fiscal package is going to save the day." - CNBC [with video]
- Global stock markets could crash in October, as by then it will be clear that the economic recovery many people pinned their hopes on will not materialize, the stimulus option will no longer be a viable one, and proprietary trading desks will decide to go short, economist and investor Enzio von Pfeil, CEO of EconomicClock.com, told CNBC. "The economic time has to worsen and so these green shoots will morph into black shoots very badly, culminating probably in an October crash," Pfeil said - CNBC [with video]
- Up to 26% of U.S. homeowners who stop paying their mortgage may be doing so intentionally, not because they can't make the payments but because they don't want to put money into a house that's worth less than what they owe - Time

May 20, 2018 - National Geographic Explorer
We've spent the early morning observing birds in the strait of Hinlopen. Then our morning landing was cancelled due to a bear ashore, walking exactly where we had intended to land. Instead, we've been proceeding further north for a walk ashore on a lateral moraine covered by snow. We've seen the polar desert, beautiful minerals, and fox tracks. During the afternoon, we went on a wildlife watch in the area of Bjørnsundet spotted many "pixel bears" through our scopes and binoculars. Some walruses were also hauling on some ice floes.

Although grow-ops and meth labs are notoriously difficult to identify from the outside, newly hired cops in Ontario are now required to participate in a mock drug raid so they can 'learn' about what's inside.
Making crystal meth is as easy as baking cookies, say officials at the Ontario Police College.I am really not surprised to read that Comrade Kwinter's ministry is doling out money for plastic marijuana plants and cold medication, but surely it would have cheaper to distribute a fact sheet? An outspoken advocate of state power, Kwinter has attempted to pass legislation granting greater powers to hydro and building inspectors to aggress against private property.

Pathway to do Internship at Fujitsu Limited JAPAN
I did the internship in Fujitsu Limited when I was still a final year student back then. It was my very first internship opportunity I ever take.Meanwhile, I love Japan at the first place. I've been living there before and since that time I always want to go back again to Japan. I called it motivation 😀
Now, I am officially mentioned as full-time employee in Fujitsu so I try to share my experience to you guys (probably some of you want to follow my path and work here too, I will be so happy)
Being an engineer in Japan is one of my dream since I was a freshman in college. Thus, once I heard about the opportunity which was brought by ASEAN Career Fair (ACF) (this job fair gathers excellent Japanese companies) I had no doubt to participate to this event at that time.
1. How did I get this internship experience?
Moreover, unlike any other typical Japanese career fair, ACF never requires us to be fluent in Japanese.
Also, most of the company in the that exhibition provided us with face-to-face on site interview for prospective candidates. Furthermore, some of them offered a short-term internship opportunity just like Fujitsu does.
2. Passing 1st and 2nd interview面接
To be honest, there were several interviews that I need to participate. The first one was in Singapore and the 2nd was held through video conferencing. This 2nd interview is determining whether I will be accepted as an intern or not.
Unlike most of the participants, I have lived in Japan before for 1-year exchange program so it left me no worries regarding Japanese environment and culture. Moreover, I think Japan's business culture has to be one of the most unique in the entire world. They uphold dedication, collaboration, detail, and manners above all.
However, I thought language was probably still becoming an issue since almost all of us, ASEAN students, don't speak in Japanese. In order to overcome this, as I heard that Fujitsu will provide Japanese Language training during the internship, my worry about language barrier was lessened.
3. Decision to Take The Internship Opportunity
Before starting the real working-life overseas, I personally think that it is really important to have a shot on the short-term internship first. Since Fujitsu is known as the superior company in the field of IT among all other, I am pretty sure, this internship opportunity will help me to enhance my skill and competence.
Besides, from the other viewpoint I feel that I will learn more about my culture from living in another because the only way to really understand my own culture is to step outside of it.
During my 5 weeks of internship, I was assigned with a project which at first I really didn't know I could do it within the certain time given. The project was a completely new thing for me that I have never tried it in college before. However, as the time went by, I found it pretty challenging because the tool/system I created will be useful for my department's project documentation in the future. Also, I saw the other senior engineers in my department as pro in the field I was working on but they always assisted me if I need any help.
4. How was my internship in Fujitsu Japan? ( what I did ? How was co-workers ? )
Likewise, this internship gave me many opportunities to have business meeting with so many well-known telecom provider companies in Asia including my country. I learned the new technology Fujitsu offered to the clients and had a discussion. This kind of activity allowed me to think deeper and dig my knowledge further to find the new idea or improvement in order to create a better tomorrow with technology.
As a Muslim, I may have a different culture with Japanese such as specific praying time in a day and prohibition from drinking alcohol or eating certain foods. Gladly, everyone in the office was understanding my circumstances. I was facilitated with one private room in the office which I could use it for praying even during office hour. Moreover, it was Ramadhan (holy month when all Muslim do fasting) during more than half of my internship period. I was surprised that most of the co-workers in my department were knowing about Ramadhan and gave me high tolerance regarding my belief. Luckily, I didn't meet any difficulty in keeping my worship in Japan.
Also, all of the employee are very kind to me. During my 5 weeks internship, we had a dinner party once a week to celebrate many things including my welcoming and farewell.
|with co-workers
5. My Future Plan
My priority in working as an engineer is located in the improvements not by maintaining stabilization but by innovation. Thus, I hope I can see myself as an engineer who drives great innovation in the future.
Meanwhile I want to improve my Japanese ability since language is a doorway to a particular culture. I believe learning a new language enables a person to have a broader understanding of that race or culture.
That's all from me! If you want to hear more about my experience, feel free to reach me through instagram!

Popup Blockers for Chrome: Advertisements and popups that creep up whenever you start browsing the internet can be really annoying. It not only mars your browsing experience but also takes up your valuable time while trying to shut them. Also, some of these pop-ups do not actually 'pop up' in the true sense but hide under the tab you are currently viewing and can show up when you least expect them.
Putting an end to this menace can be very satisfying, to say the least as it can improve your browsing experience by a big margin. Now, there are many tools available that can do the job of blocking these annoying advertisements and also popups very well. Since Google Chrome is one of the most popular and widely used web browsers at present, we decided to check out some of the best popup blockers for Chrome ourselves and make a list to help you out.
Best Popup Blockers for Chrome 2018
Before we start talking about pop up blockers for Chrome, it is interesting to note that Google Chrome comes with a built-in popup blocker of its own to disable these annoying ads. You can find the feature by heading to Settings> Show Advanced Settings> Content Settings> Popup> Allowed/Blocked. You can choose to disable popup here if you wish. However, you may notice that the default blocker is not capable of blocking any and every annoying ad that shows up on websites. For that, you will most certainly need a third party popup blocker.
1) Poper Blocker
Poper Blocker is first on our list as we found it the best popup blocker for Chrome among the ones we tested. Specifically designed to block the irritating advertisements, it not only blocks the popups but also blocks a website from opening a new tab on its own in addition to blocking the site overlay layers. It can also be used alongside any ad blocker for Chrome as well without interfering with its functioning. With a great customer support from the developer, Poper Blocker is only growing better day by day.
You can download it here
2) uBlock Origin
uBlock Origin is an open structure ad blocker for Google Chrome that does the job really well without putting too much burden on the system. With a customizable blocklist, uBlocker allows the users to hide placeholders of blocked page elements giving it a cleaner look. It can also efficiently block pop-under advertisements that hide under a tab and are even more irritating. Users can also use custom created filters to manage the ads on a web page. uBlock Origin is available for free on the Google Chrome store.

3) AdBlock for Chrome
AdBlock is one of the most widely used popups and ad blocker for Chrome due to its catchy name and free availability. AdBlock can work automatically after installation to block advertisements on web pages and video streaming sites like Youtube. It comes with a whitelist feature to allow certain sites to display ads. It also has a filter list subscription system to customize your web surfing experience. It can even be used to block certain elements of a web page that you do not wish to see, like social links. It is available as an extension on the Chrome web store.
You can download it here
4) AdBlocker Ultimate
If you are someone who does not like advertisements of any kind at all, then you should use AdBlocker Ultimate. Apart from working as a popup blocker for Google Chrome, AdBlocker Ultimate can block any kinds of ads, whether they are on static web pages, video streaming sites or social networking sites. Unlike other blockers, it does not come with a whitelist to add certain sites to the exceptions list. It comes in the form of a free extension available on the Chrome web store and can also be used to block malicious domains and prevent third-party tracking.
You can download it here
5) Fair AdBlocker
Next on our list of the best popup blockers for Chrome is Fair AdBlocker. Developed by Stands, Fair AdBlocker is another free popup blocker for Chrome that is more than capable of blocking any kinds of ads, whether popups, popunder or autoplay video ads. The app also comes with the ability to block Facebook and Webmail ads. You can also allow certain websites to display ads by putting them on the whitelist. In addition, it can also block tracking to provide you a safer and more secure web browsing experience.
You can download it here
6) AdGuard AdBlocker
Finally, we have AdGuard AdBlocker that comes with some unique features apart from just blocking ads. The Chrome extension once installed and enabled not only blocks the annoying ads and popups but also protects the users from malicious sites and phishing attacks. Users can also read security reports of any website and also choose to report them if they desire. By heading to the settings tab, you can also choose to allow or block websites from displaying contextual advertising. AdGuard is available as a free extension for Google Chrome.
You can download it here
Wrap Up
Due to the increased trend of posting ads on web pages as a source of revenue, the use of ad blockers have been on the rise and is expected to grow even further. To improve your web browsing experience we are certain that list of the best popup blockers for Chrome will be sufficient for you. You can also let us know your favorite ad blocker extension in the comments section below if it does not feature on our list.

Rest in Peace – Mel Galley (March 8, 1948 – July 2, 2008)
Mel Galley, former guitarist of TRAPEZE and WHITESNAKE, has lost his battle with cancer of the oesophagus.
In February, Galley announced that he was dying of cancer. Bravely, instead of wallowing in self-pity he made the most of the time he had left. "I have been very lucky," he wrote on his MySpace page. "I have seen some great bands, played with many great musicians and enjoyed some tremendous experiences. I am thankful that I can say a proper goodbye to all the friends I have made, who are now rallying round me.'
Even as his condition worsened, Galley continued to post encouraging, amusing updates. When he was no longer able to go to the pub, 'now the pub [comes] to me," he joked. "Friends visit me each day, I have drugs in me 24/7, and I have a plentiful supply of gin and tonic by my bedside. I even have my own ice machine! In fact, it's just like my WHITESNAKE days."
During WHITESNAKE's recently completed European tour, David Coverdale dedicated "Love Ain't No Stranger", a song he co-wrote with Mel for the "Slide It In" album, to Galley on a nightly basis.
"Melville, your legacy is in safe hands with me," sums up Glenn Hughes, Galley's TRAPEZE bandmate and childhood friend, adding: "I'll see you in the Garden one day, and truly recognise you as my brother…"

Call the Midwife returns and Trixie's baby bump
Tea Time Tidbit for the week of March 19, 2018
George at the 2015 Glamour
Less than a week to go until we welcome back Call the Midwife, which returns Sunday, March 25 with two back-to-back episodes, starting at 8pm.
The series, which is in its seventh year, will pick up where we left it in the Christmas Day Special with the residents of Nonnatus House continuing to deal with Britain's Big Freeze of 1963. The midwives will also be welcoming a brand new nurse to their ranks, Lucille Anderson, played by Leonie Elliot.
Not long after filming of the new series ended, Helen George, one of the original Call the Midwife cast members, welcomed a newcomer of her own into her life: a little baby girl, Wren, who was born last September. Her father is Jack Ashton, who plays Reverend Tom in the series.
Nurses Lucille Anderson and Valerie Dyer,
Wren was born six weeks before her due date, owing to George suffering from a liver condition. According to George at the time, "The side effects are mainly a strong sense of itching." As a result, George confessed to scratching herself so much that she had bruises all over her body.
Despite being pregnant, George managed to carry out her on-screen midwifery duties until half-way through the new season. By then it was probably getting harder and harder to disguise her baby bump. As you watch the first episode, you'll notice that George's character Trixie is dressed a little less fashionably than what we're accustomed to seeing. It's a good job that swagger coats were in style in the early '60s!
Creative "bump hiding"
Swingy coats were just one of the ways the costume department found to cover up George's pregnancy. She can also be seen in shapeless shawls and at one point a bulky fur coat. Trixie also tends to wear her nurse's cape a bit more than usual.
Other creative ways George's baby bump – which got increasingly "bumpier" as filming went on – was disguised, was to film her sitting down, or, when standing, to place the actress behind a large desk lamp. A simple clipboard also came in very handy, and you'll see Trixie carrying hers around quite a bit.
If you spot any more ingenious ways in which the series tried to cover up George's pregnancy, feel free to drop me a line.

text: Nailgun Massacre now on DVD Hi there, I emailed this to Dave but thought you guys might find it interesting as well. I recently did an interview with the director of the 80's sleazy cheapo gore classic Nailgun Massacre and got my hands on some pretty wicked well-timed DVD news... Following the brutal rape of a young woman by a gang of construction workers, a mysterious figure wearing a motorcycle helmet and driving a gold hearse begins hunting the perpetrators down. The masked avenger's weapon of choice, obviously, is a nail gun, with which he (or could it be she?) takes out the rapists one by one. Just who is this murderous vigilante? Enjoy the cult classic movie The Nail Gun Massacre, also known as NailGun Massacre, and the Texas NailGun Massacre! The first of its genre, this original cult horror movie has all the right elements -- blood, violence, sex, and more blood. This re-release of the original cult-favorite Nail Gun Massacre is a definite must for your video collection. Autographed by the Director, this DVD release is a limited edition of 500 copies only. Only availible from www.nailgunmassacre.com http://www.sleepawaycampfilms.com/slashers/interview_lofton.htm

Spring is no longer around the corner ... It is Here! If you have not been paying attention to trends ( if you are into trends ) Now is the perfect time. Below are 5 must have items for April.
1. A flower headband. These were huge last year and could be seen on everyone ( literally ) from babies to news anchors to models to even moms. These are especially great since its festival season to add flair to your outfit. Be sure to choose colours to compliment your skin-tone.
2. An Everyday Bag: If you are as into handbags like myself, you probably have a few ( maybe more than a few) The thing about handbags is that while they are functional enough to hold all your essentials, there must be that one handbag that is able to go with every/any outfit. This bag is dubbed as the Everyday Bag. This is needed for this busy season when you are going from event to event and is looking to change outfits rather than bags each time.
3. Orange Lip Stick: This trend has been on- going on YouTube and kinda reminds me of those days I was younger and would see older ladies in Orange Lipsticks that came in that gold tube. This trend is not for the faint of heart as Orange is not the most subtle colour. To be a part of this trend I would recommend selecting the right one for your skin-tone. If not this can either make you look totally crazy or just really weird.
4. A Sun-dress: It is hottt ... Its always hot in Jamaica. So a Sun-dress is needed. Midi Dresses are still popular for this season so you might want to cop a few of those.
5. A Pedicure: Yasss ladies get those feet in check. This is the time for flip-flops and Sandals so make sure your toes are in good condition. If you are not too keen on going to the Salon and spend hours, save a few extra bucks by doing it at home. Visit the University of Life a.k.a YouTube for great in depth "D-I-Y" Videos.

Small firms shown how to sweeten relations with bank managers in the wake of Alan Sugar controversy
The guide, entitled Get your bank manager to say 'YES'!, has been produced by the Forum of Private Business (FPB) in response to mounting concerns over bank lending to smaller firms.
Almost 80% of FPB members recently reported that the terms and conditions of lending have got worse over the past year.
And the issue hit the headlines last week when Government enterprise czar and Apprentice star Lord Alan Sugar claimed some small business owners had only themselves to blame for their inability to access finance.
Speaking at an event in Manchester, Lord Sugar said he understood the banks' reluctance to lend to many smaller firms and put much of the problem down to inflated expectations created by easy access to credit over the past decade.
The FPB took issue with many aspects of Lord Sugar's views and believes thousands of viable, well-managed SMEs are unfairly being denied loans.
Get your bank manager to say 'YES'! is intended to help address this problem and give small businesses the best possible chances of securing a loan. Outlining seven golden rules for securing a bank loan, the guide is co-written by three expert figures.
The first is business consultant Olivia Stefanino, author of the internationally-acclaimed management book Be Your Own Guru. The second is FPB Chairman Noel Guilford – a chartered accountant with more than 30 years' experience in his profession.
Crucially, the third author is a bank manager who has given the FPB invaluable inside knowledge of how loan applications are judged. The experienced branch manager, who has shared his expertise on guarantee of strict anonymity, has helped hundreds of small businesses become big businesses through loan approvals.
However, he has turned many more loan applicants away for reasons which are outlined in the FPB guide.
Electronic copies of Get your bank manager to say 'YES'! will be available free of charge to small businesses through the FPB's website. It is the first in a series of authoritative BusinessBuilder guides which the FPB is producing in order to help smaller firms to prosper – a copy can be found here.
Commenting on the launch of Get your bank manager to say 'YES'!, co-author Noel Guilford said: "Despite repeated assurances to the contrary from the major lenders, accessing finance remains one of the major problems facing smaller businesses.
"In the current climate, thousands of start-ups and small firms are finding it extremely difficult to persuade their bank managers that they are viable, responsible borrowers. The backlash created by Lord Sugar's remarks has highlighted the strength of feeling on the issue.
"However in my experience, many smaller firms can greatly increase their chances of securing lending by implementing a few simple measures. This is something we hope to spread the word about through this free and concise guide."
Olivia Stefanino added: "I often come across clients whose businesses are well run and more than worthy of financial support, but their bank managers don't necessarily see it the same way.
"This guide is intended to show them how to address that. I also think it will act as a positive, productive and timely antidote to the disappointingly negative take on the issue expressed by Lord Sugar in recent days."
