Lilac Children's Garden, administered by the Rochester Waldorf Education Association, is a parent cooperative program which offers classes, based on Waldorf education philosophy, to home-schooled children ages five through thirteen. We meet from one to four on Tuesday afternoons in Brighton, New York, from mid-September through May. In addition, when there is enough demand, we offer a parent child class for children ages infant through four years and their parents on Wednesday mornings.
Lilac Children's Garden is unique in its attempt to combine the best aspects of homeschooling and Waldorf education for the benefit of Rochester-area children.
At Lilac Children's Garden we strive to create a sacred space for our children. The teachers work with the rhythms of the day and of the year and employ Waldorf methods to engage the whole child, and nurture a deep sense of reverence for all life. We bring developmentally appropriate offerings to our children through the following activities: storytelling, singing, recorder playing, watercolor painting, drawing, handwork, and movement games. Plays that the children present each spring are a highlight of the year. We open and close each class with a lighted candle and say a verse. We celebrate the wonder of our Earth and its changing seasons with our families at seasonal festivals. Throughout the year, we rely on parents for their active involvement in our other activities.
Our program is a classroom experience that has been developed around the children's developmental needs. The teachers caringly facilitate class social interaction. It is our intention to create a nurturing and harmonious environment for all the children. We value open communication with parents to help us provide this environment. In order to be enriched by their time with us, children must be willing and able to participate in group activities, maintain attention and to follow simple instructions.
We hold an information meeting in March of each year. If families are interested in learning more about the program, we arrange classroom visits and accept registrations throughout the year.

The 80:20 rule applies to the government's austerity policies: about 20% of the Treasury plan for rebuilding public finances rests on tax rises, while 80% comes from reductions in spending. In the current phase, welfare spending faces the biggest squeeze.
Back in 2010, in the immediate aftermath of the general election, all eyes in the coalition were on the figure for annual public sector net borrowing. This measure shows how much debt is added to the government's mountain of IOUs each year.
It was expected to fall only marginally from the record £156bn set in 2009 by the Labour administration. The cabinet agreed a plan to bring the annual overspend down from almost 12% of GDP to less than 3% by 2015-16, which was two years faster than Labour believed possible.
Tax rises were the first to take effect. An increase in VAT to 20% was allied to a rise in capital gains tax and a £2bn levy on the banks. George Osborne also implemented Labour's 50p top rate of tax for people earning more than £150,000.
In the slipstream came cuts to Whitehall and local authority spending designed to help the government achieve budget cuts – after inflation – averaging 25% over four years. Health, education and international aid budgets were spared the axe, leaving other departments to take even bigger hits. Public sector workers suffered a pay freeze and then a 1% cap.
Osborne planned to impose drastic cuts on welfare spending in 2013, but he expected the economy to be in better shape. In 2010, many analysts said the government's hope was that a recovery would be in full swing by this year and welfare cuts would be quietly forgotten.
However, two key elements of the Treasury's plans have gone awry. By 2013 the economy was supposed to be 6.3% larger, but instead it delivered a double-dip recession and over 2011 and 2012 in effect flatlined.
With growth nonexistent, tax revenues were lower than expected and it became harder to reduce government spending. The Treasury's independent forecaster, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), expected the annual deficit to be £89bn in 2012-13 and then £60bn in 2013-14. In his most recent budget Osborne conceded that borrowing would be £120bn in both years, adding to a debt accumulator total that most experts believe will be £250bn higher than the OBR expected to be run up over five years when the plan was hatched in 2010.
Another element, the cost of implementing Iain Duncan Smith's universal credit, which has needed considerable funds for new computer systems and administration before the largely online scheme begins to save money, was initially underestimated. It is due to go live for new claimants in October, but three out of four "pathfinder projects" were delayed last week and the October start date may also be deferred.
In the meantime, the government has saved £432m by cutting 10% from the council tax benefit grant to local authorities. The Resolution Foundation thinktank believes the move, which scraps the grant and replaces it with a payment worth 90% of its value, will hit 3.2m low-income households who pay no council tax or a reduced charge.
One of several benefit cuts to take effect from April 6 – which include the cut to child benefit for higher-rate taxpayers, reductions in disability living allowance, housing benefit cuts and a 1% cap on annual rises in benefit payments – council tax benefit cuts are designed to push government spending to less than 40% of GDP from a peak of 48% in 2009.

WMU wins chamber's environmental honors
April 1, 2008
KALAMAZOO--During a special community awards program March 19, the Kalamazoo Regional Chamber of Commerce recognized Western Michigan University for its commitment to supporting environmental and energy alternatives.
WMU was selected for the 2008 Environmental Award by the chamber's Environmental Advisory Committee in recognition of the University's efforts to implement sustainable design practices in its new buildings, its commitment to major storm water management improvements throughout its Kalamazoo campus and the University's development of a centralized energy usage control system. The award resulted from a nomination made by Chris Lester and Lynn Spurr of the West Michigan civil engineering firm Fishbeck, Thompson, Carr & Huber.
"We're very proud of this award and what it represents for our community and those who live and work on our campus," said Robert G. Miller, WMU associate vice president for community outreach, in describing the significance of the award. "The fact that WMU has numerous examples of its commitment to sustainability creates a unique opportunity to promote environmental stewardship with our students. We view this University as an environmental leader."
Specifically, the University was lauded for using guidelines developed by the U.S. Green Building Councils Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design--known as LEED principles--in construction of its Health and Human Services Building, Chemistry Building and Richmond Center for Visual Arts, as well as in its just completed renovation of Brown Hall. Centralized energy management for the entire Kalamazoo campus and the University's storm water management work and alliance with the Portage-Arcadia Creek Watershed Steering Committee also were cited.
"WMU has become a leader in the Kalamazoo area and the higher education community within Michigan in the area of sustainable design, construction and operation of their assets," Lester and Spurr wrote in their letter of nomination.
Citing a tendency to cut such "extras" during the budget process, the nominators lauded University staff for holding firm to sustainability as a critical component to its construction projects, pointing out that "WMU has dedicated staff time and project budgets to following these principles and not allowing the innovative components to be eliminated."

What happens to us when we lose someone?
For most of us, bereavement will be the most psychologically distressing experience we will ever face. Grief is what we feel when somebody we love or someone we have been close to dies. The death of a significant person is a devastating loss. Everyone experiences grief differently and there is no 'normal' or 'right' way to grieve. How we react will be influenced by many different things, including our age and personality, our cultural background and religious beliefs, our previous experiences of bereavement, our circumstances and how we cope with loss.
What are some of the feelings we may experience?
'I can't believe it'; ' I feel nothing.' 'Why did it have to happen?'
It may take you a long time to grasp what has happened. The shock can make you numb, you may feel you're in a different world. Some people carry on as if nothing has happened. It is hard to believe that someone important is not coming back. Many feel disorientated and almost as if they have lost their place in life.
'I feel such pain.'
Physical and mental pain can feel completely overwhelming and very frightening. The pain of bereavement has been compared to that of losing a limb. It doesn't come back, you will always miss it, but you also learn to adapt to living without it.
Sometimes bereaved people can feel angry. This anger is a completely normal part of the grieving process. Death can seem cruel and unfair, especially when you feel someone has died before their time or when you had plans for the future together
'If only…'
You may feel guilty about things you said or did, or that you didn't say or do. It is important to remember, at the time, that you did not have the power of hindsight you possess now.
'I feel so depressed, life has no meaning, I can't go on.'
Many people say there are times after a death when they feel there is nothing worth living for and they feel like ending it all.
'I hear and see her, what is wrong with me?' 'I go over it again and again.'
Thinking you are hearing or seeing someone who has died is a common experience and can happen when you least expect it, and you may find that you can't stop thinking about the events leading up to the death.
Other people's reactions
'I think to understand it you really need to have been through it.'
One of the hardest things to face when we are bereaved is the way other people react to us. They often do not know what to say or how to respond to our loss. This is hard for us because we may well want to talk about the person who has died. It can become especially hard as time goes on and other people's memories of the dead person fade.
Coping and Adapting
'They said I'd be over it in a few months' but many people find it takes much longer to learn to cope without someone to love. 'One minute I'm angry and the next minute I can't stop crying' and many people find the mood swings very frightening.
When someone close to us dies we have to cope and adjust to living in a world which is totally changed. Death is, after all, inevitable: that person is not going to come back. We may have to let go of some dreams built up and shared with the person who has died. 'Today my life is different as a result of what has happened. The inner strengths that I did not know I possessed have come to light.'
Looking to the Future
Life will never be the same again after a bereavement, but the grief and pain should lessen and there will come a time when you are able to adapt and adjust, and cope with life without the person who has died.
Many people worry that they will forget the person who has died; how they looked, their voice, the good times they had together. There are so many ways you can keep their memory alive. These are just a few suggestions:
* talk about them and your special memories
* write down your memories
* keep an album of photos
* keep a collection of some of their special possessions
* do something that commemorates them, such as planting a tree, paying for a park bench or making a donation to a charity
Cruse is here to help at any stage of a bereavement. We are a national charity that provides advice, information and support to anyone who has been bereaved – children, young people and adults, whenever, however or wherever the death occurred. Our service is provided by trained and experienced volunteers; it is confidential and free.
The Cruse national website also has lots of information about bereavement and, if you are a young person, then you might like to try the Hope Again site.

What You Need To Know About Your PPI Drugs
New research has raised even more red flags regarding PPI drugs commonly used for heartburn, indigestion, and acid reflux. This critical report may change the way you consider treating your symptoms.
If you experience heartburn, indigestion, acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), you are familiar with Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs). Frequently used to treat minor symptoms, they may also be increasing your risk for chronic kidney disease.
According to a study involving 250,000 people, these drugs appear to significantly elevate the chances of developing chronic kidney disease.
Trouble Ahead for PPI Drugs
Unfortunately, PPIs have been advertised on a broad scale to consumers and heavily promoted to physicians. Recently, NBC News released this video: Heartburn Medicine Linked to Chronic Kidney Disease Risk stating that over 15 million Americans spent over 10 Billion dollars in 2013 for Proton Pump Inhibitors.
Let's not forget the long list of possible side effects including bone fractures, infections, pneumonia, breathing problems, agitation, nervousness, vomiting, unusual bleeding and bruising, breast enlargement, and constipation.
People who suffer from frequent, but mild attacks of heartburn quickly reach for these PPI drugs thinking they are safe. But studies are proving otherwise.
Your All Natural Alternative to PPIs
At Maty's, we knew natural options were limited for those who suffer from heartburn, indigestion, or acid reflux. That's why we developed our All Natural Acid Indigestion Relief, which comes in syrup & capsule form. They're so safe, even pregnant woman can use it for their heartburn symptoms.
With this new information about PPI drugs, maybe more doctors will recommend that their patients find other, more natural ways to alleviate minor heartburn symptoms. Wouldn't it be nice if they recommended Maty's! 🙂

It has often been said that lighting can make or break a room—and it's true! Having enough lighting is indeed very important to setting the mood throughout your home and table lamps are one way to ensure this. They provide task lighting for reading and they also emit warm and cozy ambient lighting for any room.
Not only are table lamps useful, they are also a fun way to express your decorating style or add an unexpected finishing touch. While the variety of table lamps available to shop online is almost dizzyingly huge, it is possible to boil them down into five basic types.
01 of 05
Gourd Lamp
A gourd lamp is characterized by a curvy, bulbous base that resembles, well...a gourd. This shape is particularly popular, especially in the colorful ceramic variety. Gourd lamps can also be fashioned out of colored or clear glass, mercury glass, or even metal. They look great at bedsides, as an accent lamp, or in pairs on a sofa table.
If you like mid-century modern style, check out the droplet or teardrop variation of this style. This type of lamp says, "I'm traditional yet fresh and fun. I love a casual atmosphere, and having friends over for happy hour."

02 of 05
Candlestick Lamp
Like the gourd lamp, candlestick lamps are named after their shape. These lamps have a slim, tall and tapered appearance that lend elegance to a room. A bit more formal than other shapes, candlestick lamps look great in pairs on a dining room buffet or in a living room. (Which is why they are also sometimes called "buffet lamps.")
This type of lamp can match a number of different styles, however, dependent on how much ornamentation the lamp has, or what it is made of. A sleek chrome version would look great in a modern space, while a wooden one would be better suited in a modern farmhouse, for example. This type of lamp says, "I'm a little bit fancy, always elegant and I like to host sophisticated dinner parties."
03 of 05
Tiffany Lamp
Tiffany-style lamps, named after the famed Louis Comfort Tiffany, are replicas of the leaded glass originals originally made by their namesake. The shade -- not the base -- is the star of this type of lamp.
The motifs depicted on the shades of Tiffany-style lamps can be Victorian, Mission or Art Deco in nature, and are therefore well-suited to homes that evoke one of those periods.
Tiffany-style lamps are best-used as accent lighting. This type of lamp says, "I'm classy and appreciate period antiques. There's nothing I like better than a thick book, a cup of tea, and a roaring fire on a rainy fall evening."
04 of 05
Pharmacy Lamp
Pharmacy, or swing-arm table lamps, are great for task lighting because they can swing and bend to shed light right where you need it. These, too, can suit a number of different tastes, depending on the lamp's finish and detail.
This antique brass one, for instance, is well-suited to a traditional space, while one with a caged shade and an exposed bulb would fit a room decorated in an industrial style. This type of lamp says, "I'm practical without sacrificing style. I like a mix of old and new and don't shy away from a little edge."Continue to 5 of 5 below.
05 of 05
Novelty Lamp
Almost any other kind of table lamp can be lumped into the category of novelty lamps. There are lamps with bases in the shape of animals, seashells, vehicles... Almost any kind of object can be fashioned into a lamp. A novelty lamp might also come in an unusual but not-quite-namable shape or pattern.
A novelty lamp can either match a decorating theme, such as a garden or jungle theme, or its uniqueness alone can serve as a conversation piece in an eclectic space. Novelty lamps also work in nurseries or children's playrooms to add a touch of whimsy and inspire imagination. This type of lamp says, "I'm not afraid of being quirky and playful, and I like to be the center of attention."

Porfidio Triple Distilled Anejo Rum (750ml)
Subscribe to stock alerts
Please enter your email address to receive stock alerts for this product:
At first thought, super premium Rum coming from the state of Jalisco, Mexico seems a strange concept. Jalisco is home to the town of Tequila, and is blessed with fertile volcanic soils suitable for the cultivation of Blue Agave - the succulent plant that forms the base of Tequila. One must the wonder, why Rum?
Three elements form the foundation of Rum. Sugar, Distallation, Oak maturation. The better the quality of these elements, the better the outcome: There's no shortage of distilling knowledge in Jalisco, given the strong Tequila Industry that thrives there. There's reliable, good quality sources of American oak, which is also used for maturing Tequila. The real surprise is that sugar is Mexico's largest industry, employing approximately 2.5 million people across the nation. It turns out, that Sugarcane, like Blue Agave, thrives in these fertile volcanic soils.
Porfidio Rum is produced from hand-harvested, individually selected sugarcane. The fields are located about an hour's drive from the distillery, which ensures that fresh cane arrives in peak condition. These fields are never burnt prior to harvest. The Rum is triple distilled, then aged for around three months in older American oak barrels then filtered to remove colour. The results simply speak for themselves.
No tasting notes available.

The Chennakesava Temple, also referred to as Chennakeshava Temple is a Vaishnava Hindu temple on the banks of River Kaveri at Somanathapura, Karnataka, India. The temple was consecrated in 1258 CE by Somanatha Dandanayaka, a general of the Hoysala King Narasimha III. It is located 38 kilometres (24 mi) east of Mysuru city.The ornate temple is a model illustration of the Hoysala architecture.
Visiting Somnathpura was first part of Somnathpura-Talakad-Shivanasamudra journey which had started at 5 a.m in the morning. It was me,Sanjeeva and Karthik only. On the way to Somnathpura, we stopped at an awesome place called the "Vasu hotel" and relished on some hot puri and idli. We intended to have the dosas there since it is famous for the dosas but unfortunately dosas weren't ready that early in the morning.
The route took us through many villages and the pleasant weather made the drive very pleasant with the good music system in Karthik's Car.We reached Somnathpura by 9.30 a.m or so and it took hardly 2.5 hours or so. There is a small entry fee and it is worth it since the place is very well maintained. A big garden leads to the complex. The temple complex itself is huge and the rock carvings are reminiscent of what I saw the Belur temple. In addition, there were hardly any people ; so we got some good shots as well.
>>> Onto Talakkad….
Belur is famous for its Hoysala Architecture temples , Chennakesava Temple being the most famous & visited.
Trip Itinerary
Shravanabelagola – Belur – Halebidu are three famous tourist destinations in Karnataka which are ideally to be covered in single day if possible since the three spots are located quite close to each other. We booked the tour via Karnataka Tourism and State department which offers the single day trip from Bangalore and Mysore and covers all the three spots. It starts from the Badami house in Bangalore at 6.30 am and reaches Bangalore at 10.oo pm and costed 950 INR at the time of the blog.
Reaching Belur
Starting from Shravanabelagola town at about 11.45 a.m, we the tour bus took us to a restaurant owned by the Karnataka Tourism department. We actually expected the price of food items to be low given that the restaurant is owned by the government but that wasn't the case. It costed as much. (About 150 per head without alcohol). Again only half hour for lunch only.
As such Belur is located about 40 Kms from Hassan , a 45 mins Bus ride from Hassan will get one to Belur. Belur and Halebidu are only 25 Km apart and both the spots can be covered in 3 hours. (Major Sight seeing spots)
Popular Tourist Destinations
The Chennakesava Temple is located within belur, so reaching the destination was hardly a problem and we were there by 2 p.m. Remove your slippers outside and a small fee to the guard.
Highly Important
At Belur, a free lance tour guide enters the bus and offers his services without a mention of his rates. Folks assume that he is provided by KSTDC which he is not. He mentioned his charge only at the end of both Belur and Halebidu tour which is quite high. (100 INR per person, so for a family of four it is 400 INR). Ensure that you get the rates clarified at the very beginning since he is not going to mention them.
Chennakesava Temple
An almost gold coloured sculpted gopuram greets us as we enter the temple
The entrance of the temple takes us to a huge courtyard, at the centre of which stands the Chennakesava Temple. According to records, it took 103 years to complete this masterpiece of hoysala architecture. The complex overall has many smaller shrines, mandapams and other structures. Unfortunately, it was so crowded on that day , that I couldn't get a decent picture without at least a hundred people in it.
The main temple is located right at the center of the huge courtyard.
As I mentioned before, a guide strung along with us and was able to provide a decent amount of information. The 500 year old temple is made of soapstone and is built of interlocking components which join together and provide the structural integrity. Apparently the entire temple can disassembled and reassembled at another location, something that I find very hard to believe.
At the very entrance, there are sculptures of the ten avatars of lord Vishnu above the doorway.
Inside the temple, it is pretty dark. There are multiple intricately sculpted pillars supporting the roof and each of the pillars tell a different story. The finest are the Mohini pillar on the south west and the the Narsimha Pillar on the south east.
At the very center is the main shrine dedicated to lord Vijayanarayan, one the 24 incarnations of Lord Vishnu. The main priest continuously requested the tourists not to take pictures of the main diety but no one was paying attention which was quite irritating.
Outside the main temple, take a stroll in the main courtyard to visit a number of other smaller temples.
We were done here by 4.00 p.m and left for Halebidu.

The kind of well-worn rock club set designer Matthew J. Keenan creates for the production of Laura Easton's "The Undeniable Sound of Right Now" at the Keegan Theatre is so authentic, with its decades of rock posters, stickers and graffiti, you can almost smell the stale beer in the floorboards. The instincts not to visit the restroom rise to full force.
As a shrine to the glories that have marched through it — pre-makeup Kiss, The Clash in a secret show, Nirvana at its start — clubs like the fictional Hank's Bar in Chicago were becoming a kind of museum as long ago as 1992, when this play was set.
Hailed as an arbiter of indie rock, Hank still wears his Doors, Lynyrd Skynrd and AC/DC T-shirts; it's the employee (Kevin Hasser) with an unrequited yearn for the daughter who wears the Joy Division and Smashing Pumpkins T-shirts.
Even then, though, a younger generation was moving to electronica, hip-hop and anonymous pop, on the road to making guitars as obsolete on the musical front lines as crossbows were in battle.
This is the crossroads at the center of the play directed by Brandon McCoy, where divisions couldn't more clearly be defined.
Grizzled before his time Hank clings to his memories, his battered guitar and his strict definitions of what's authentic; his frustrated daughter Lena keeps trying to convince him to have a DJ night, if only because the rent is being raised and they may lose the place (in that hoariest of melodrama tropes).
That she's dating a DJ who wants to move his act there exacerbates the divide.
For a production so dependent on music, there's very little of it around. Sound designer Veronica J. Lancaster drops in musical cues between scenes (where stagehands dressed as club STAFF move chairs and change the bulletin board of who's playing that night) but switches everything off once dialog begins. For all the authenticity of the set, it's upended by the lack of music playing in the background (the sound system is always on in the background at these clubs, particularly when they're cleaning up).
To be fair, it's been awfully difficult to accurately translate the magic of rock 'n' roll into credible theater over the years; few works have been able to bridge the gap.
As the venerable club owner, Chris Stezin seems wound way too tight and barricaded behind his strict musical preferences. Nobody would last decades in the club business without being willing to toss some curveballs – to punk, rap, metal, alt country, neo folk – in order to adapt to changing taste. (Further, he might have become a little better guitar player over the years than the guitar store plinking he does).
Jessie Power as his daughter seems to have picked up her old man's stubbornness. The way they stomp around the stage and yell makes you think they might make use of the liquor behind the bar to mellow them out.
Ryan Seller is convincing as the ambitious DJ, who frankly can't quite see the division his music seems to create in others. As the creepy son of a landlord who comes around with bad news, Josh Sticklin is just right – a Don Jr. in our midst.
Susan Marie Rhea is a nice presence, sporting rock gear and serving as a bridge between dad and daughter; it's a quiet leadership quality that she likely brings as the theater's artistic director.
Easton, a veteran writer on "House of Cards," strives to bring a wider story about changing generations in her work, but can't quite get out of the club (though the suggestion of a rave-sized audience next door is some marvelous stagecraft). By act two, she plumb runs out of words too, as a long and embarrassing guitar feedback workout by Hank (that never quite approaches electric Neil Young) leads to his throwing furniture around. You almost look forward to the bar closing after that.
"The Undeniable Sound of Right Now" continues through May 27 at the Keegan Theatre, Washington, DC.

By Bembu
If you're wondering how to burn belly fat and have even considered taking diet pills or fat burners, you should try to do it the all natural way before taking extreme measures. It's not really natural for us to carry all that weight on our midsections, so getting back to a more natural state is one sure way to watch the fat go away, almost as a byproduct of our actions. It doesn't have to be an all out war to kill your stomach fat. Just make these 10 all-natural adjustments and it should effortlessly come off.
1. Drink More Water
This is perhaps the most easiest and effortless way to lose belly fat, and it's a problem for countless Americans. There is a dehydration epidemic going on, and if we all just drank more water, and got closer to the amount that we actually need each day, there would be less obesity, fewer digestive problems, and more people that are awake and alert throughout the day. But here's the kicker: because it's only involves drinking water it's pretty easy, and easy things are easy to forget to do. If you're conditioned to not drink enough water it can be pretty tough to make a change. But stick with it and soon you'll reach new levels of hydration and reduced levels of belly fat.
2. Aim for Total Body Fat
Trying to spot treat your stomach fat is one sure way to drive yourself up the wall. It may be the one area that you really care about the most, but you have to trust that if you aim for overall body fat loss, the stomach fat will have to go at some point too. Fixating on a trouble spot is one way to keep it around for the long term, because what we put our focus on grows. A problem is only as hard as we make it out to be, so if you're constantly thinking that your belly fat is the hardest thing to get rid of, you'll prove yourself right time and time again.
Get a scale that measures your body fat percentage and aim to get that down to a level that is right for your gender. Keep this in mind: if you want to see your abs guys will have to get to around 10% body fat, while women need to get below 19% or so.
3. Get Sound Sleep
This is perhaps the easiest and hardest thing to do for most of us. Doing things in your sleep can't get much easier, but finding the time in our busy lives to get more sleep can be a challenge. The real struggle is that your deepest and most cleansing sleep comes from getting to bed earlier in the evening. For most that is just not an option, and others are so entrenched in their late nights that they can't fathom going to bed at 10pm or earlier. But science has repeatedly shown the link between getting deep sleep on a consistent basis and having less belly fat. You'll be stressed out less, and you'll wake up feeling refreshed and ready to greet the day, with more energy throughout the day. The body also repairs itself at night, so you're helping yourself in many different ways just by snoozing.
4. Do High Intensity Interval Training
High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is where you go hard out for anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute, followed by periods of rest where you go very low intensity. The beauty of this aerobic workout is that you spend a fraction of the time but the theory is that you're getting results from this workout that last long into the next day. They say that if you spend 40 minutes on a stationary bike just doing a low intensity aerobic workout, you're only burning fat during that 40 minutes. But with an HIIT workout lasting only 10-20 minutes you end up burning fat the entire day, and long after you've finished the workout.
The process is pretty particular, so you'll need to study up on it. It involves getting your heart rate up to a certain level during the high intensity parts, and getting it back down during the low intensity parts, so you'll need to get a heart rate monitor to effectively do this.
5. Mind Your Vitamins
It's hard to make the connection between your belly fat and a vitamin deficiency, but there's a high chance that if you're struggling to lose fat you may be running short on several key vitamins needed for fat loss. The first of these is Vitamin D, often referred to as the Happy Vitamin. Feeling good is key to losing fat of all types, and if you don't have sufficient amounts of Vitamin D you could be inhibiting your ability to feel good and feel like being active. The key is getting more exposure to sunlight so that your body can make its own supply. You'll also want to make sure that you're taking in enough natural sources of vitamins so that your body has all of the building blocks it needs to function at its best.
You should be eating foods high in Vitamin C, as well as Vitamin E if you want to give yourself the best shot at losing that stubborn fat. It's best to get these vitamins from the foods you eat, rather than using a multivitamin, but if you find that you need to fill in the gaps go with a whole foods multivitamin, since it will be using food sources rather than using synthetic vitamins.

Every year before the wedding season begins, I search for some inspiration to get the creativity juices flowing. This year it was the 2013 Canada Photo Convention in Vancouver, BC. It was like a line-up of Ted Talks featuring inspiration and tips for the wedding photography world. I usually prefer more personal one-on-one training, but this was still pretty rad. Just two to three of the speakers definitely made it worth it! It was nice to see so many other Winnipeg photographers there:) Enjoy!
Everything captured on the Fuji x100s.

Like I said in my previous post, I've been on a breakfast kick. Probably because I didn't eat breakfast for a while when I was playing with intermittent fasting. Turns out 1) I really like breakfast, and 2) not timing my meals appropriately makes me hangry. That's right, hangry – hungry + angry = hangry. Nobody likes me when I'm hangry, including me.
I was headed to friend's house for brunch and wanted to take a quiche. It's easy enough, and tasty enough, to make a quiche without a crust. But I thought this would be a good opportunity to make a quiche with a potato crust.
This recipe is inspired by ingredients I tend to associate with Provencal cuisine.
For this recipe, you will need:
One dozen eggs
8 oz. mushrooms
2 summer squash, halved and chopped
6 oz. gruyere cheese, grated
6 sun-dried tomatoes, finely diced
8 oz. diced grilled chicken
4 oz. blanched green beans
1/2 c. coconut milk, unsweetened
1 c. water
handful of chives, finely chopped
2-3 T. fresh dill (if available), or dried dill
1 1/2 t. paprika
salt and pepper to taste (I used 2 t. and 1 t., respectively)
2-3 small potatoes (~2″ diameter)
coconut oil spray, or 1 T. ghee
1 1/2 T. ghee
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Use a mandolin and slice the potatoes into thin discs – the potato discs should be thick enough to serve as a crust, but be thin enough to be slightly pliable.
Lightly coat a spring foam pan with coconut oil spray or ghee and line the pan with the potatoes. I used the largest spring foam pan I had for this recipe – 10″ diameter.
Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes. The potatoes should be golden.
Take the "crust" out of the oven and set aside.
Blanch the green beans (you could also use hericot verts). Place them in boiling water for about 3 minutes. They should bright green, but still crunchy.
Next, in a medium saucepan on medium-high heat, melt 1 1/2 T. ghee. Add the summer squash and mushrooms and sauté until the mushrooms and squash are lightly browned, but still firm. Set aside when done.
While the squash and mushrooms are cooking, chop and dice the sun-dried tomatoes, green beans, and chives.
Finally, dice the chicken and grate the cheese.
In a large mixing bowl with whisk, scramble well one dozen eggs. Add the coconut milk and water, and spices (salt, pepper, dill, paprika).
Add to the large mixing bowl the remaining ingredients – chicken, cheese, and vegetables – and mix. Then add the mixture to the spring foam pan.
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 45-60 minutes. The top will be golden and a knife, when inserted into the center of the quiche, will come out clean.
There may be a bit of liquid on top of the quiche. You can continue to bake the quiche at a lower temperature (250 degrees F) until the liquid evaporates.
Serve the quiche warm or at room temperature.
You can play around with this recipe in lots of different ways. You could substitute grilled salmon for the chicken. You could use cheddar cheese or fontina instead of gruyere. You could mix and match the various vegetables. You could use sweet potatoes instead of yukon or red potatoes. The point is, you have lots of options 🙂

"Grand Theft Auto V"
Developed by: Rockstar North
Published by: Rockstar Games
Rating: M (for Mature)
Available: NOW
Available on: Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3
Price: Starts at $59.99 for regular edition
There are a few things you need to know before you buy/rent "Grand Theft Auto V." First, the game is addictive. Second, it's going to take you at least 40 hours to finish. Lastly, prepare to be amazed.
Developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games, "Grand Theft Auto V," (I'll call it GTA V for this review) has been in the news recently for all the right reasons. The game has set entertainment records – $800M in sales on the first day of release, $1B in sales in just 3 days. Take-Two, the parent company for Rockstar Games, spent $265M to develop and market the game. All of their hard work paid off in just 8 hours after release. If you look at the financial benefits, the game is a success, regardless of what reviews say.
However, the video game is equally impressive. The game takes place on the lush island of Los Santos. The island includes mountains, beaches, lakes, metro areas, farmlands, deserts – pretty much any environment you could imagine. You start the game as Trevor, this manic ex-military type who's taking part in a bank heist. The heist provides players with a tutorial on-the-fly. You will learn how to take cover during firefights, you'll also learn about a new GTA feature – character switching. Driving is also more stable than previous GTAs. On foot, you can still lock on to enemies and move from cover to cover.
After the bank heist, you will play the first part of GTA V as Franklin, who spends most of his time doing honest work repossessing autos. After one repo in the swanky Vinewood area, Franklin meets the second character, Michael. Michael is in a federal witness protection program and lives the life of a 1 percenter. However, he's bored and ready to get back into the world of crime. The last character you'll play is Trevor, from the first mission.
The game is one of the most entertaining games I've played recently. There's no end to the amount of things you can do in the game. From street racing through the streets of Los Santos to jacking a submarine and heading out to sea to see a secret military project, you'll never be bored in "GTA V."
There are a few differences that make "GTA V" stand out from the previous GTAs. First, the character switching modes are interesting. As long as you are not on-mission or carrying a wanted level, you can switch between characters. If you select Franklin, you'll likely warp across Los Santos and find him breaking up a fight. If you select Michael, you'll likely find yourself at a bistro or at your mansion. If you select Trevor, well, just prepared to be entertained.
Also new to the franchise is the addition of a stock market. You can earn big money on the markets if you listen during your missions. One mission, I was encouraged to pull my stake out of one company and invest it in another. Within minutes after I finished the mission, I was earning major cash.
As fun as this game is, it's not for children. The game is rated M, but that's really pushing it. From assassinations to frontal nudity at the strip clubs, "GTA V" is filled with questionable content.
Online, you ask? Rockstar just enabled online features for the game in October. I'll report on that after I take the mode for a spin.
There's no limit to what players can do in "GTA V." You can pilot a helo, pilot a submarine, take part in a triathlon, swim, ride jet skis, race, run, shoot, mountain climb and even take in the tourist areas, even buy real estate/businesses. You can literally cruise for hours in Los Santos and never, ever get on mission.
Overall, "GTA V" shines as one of the best games of the year. You will feel like you are playing in a living, breathing world.
The verdict? 5 stars (out of 5 stars)

Weekend Movies: 'War Dogs' Battle 'Ben-Hur'
Plus: LeVar Burton tells why the new 'Roots' made him cry
Exclusive Video: LeVar Burton and the New Roots
History's powerful remake of the classic 1977 TV miniseries Roots drew more than 14 million viewers when it aired this year, and the six-hour movie comes to Blu-ray and DVD next Tuesday. The original version made a star of LeVar Burton, and in this video — exclusive to Movies for Grownups, thanks to Lionsgate — the veteran actor recalls the first time he saw young Malachi Kirby step into the role of Kunta Kinte.
Thelma & Louise Ride Again
We love it when classic movies return to the big screen, and this Sunday you can catch a 25th-anniversary showing of Thelma & Louise, the 1991 buddy comedy/road adventure starring Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon, at 500 theaters nationwide (drive there carefully, please!). A week later, many of the same theaters will show a Turner Classic Movies revival of the 1956 Yul Brynner/Deborah Kerr classic, The King and I.

No one asked for a new version of the 1959 Charlton Heston classic (itself a remake), but director Timur Bekmambetov (Night Watch) guides a capable cast, including Morgan Freeman, through the familiar narrative. He also brings breathtaking energy to the action sequences, most notably a nerve-shattering battle at sea. FULL REVIEW
Miles Teller (Whiplash) and Jonah Hill (Moneyball) star in this action comedy, based on a true story about two stoners who scam the Pentagon into giving them a $300 million contract to arm Afghan fighters. Directed by Todd Phillips (The Hangover).
Masterly stop-motion 3-D animation adds a sense of delicate artfulness to this tale of a boy in ancient Japan searching for a mystical suit of armor worn by his late samurai father. Think origami coming to life. Ralph Fiennes, George Takei, Brenda Vaccaro and Matthew McConaughey are among the excellent voice actors.
New at Home
This slam-bang buddy-cop flick harks back to the best of them (think Lethal Weapon or 48 Hrs.). In 1977 L.A., Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling are mismatched detectives searching for a porn star who's gone MIA. The jokes are just one form of the rapid-fire killers here. FULL REVIEW
Julianne Moore is a hoot in this latter-day screwball comedy. She plays Georgette, the wife of a philanderer (Ethan Hawke) who leaves her for Maggie (Greta Gerwig), a clueless home-wrecker. Fast-forward three years, and Maggie wants to give the hubby back. But does Georgette accept returns?
Warner Bros.' biggest star of the late 1950s — the heartthrob icon of films, TV shows and even records — concealed his homosexuality throughout his big-screen career. Narrating this funny and disarmingly honest documentary, Tab Hunter is a good-natured guide through his own ups and downs.

Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie
Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley return for a big-screen sequel to their long-running British sitcom, starring as a pair of hard-drinking, bad-mannered publicists. On the run after apparently killing Kate Moss (it was an accident!), they encounter dozens of star cameos. FULL REVIEW
Woody Allen's latest, the story of a young New York man (Jesse Eisenberg) eager to remake himself in 1930s Los Angeles, starts out as a love letter to the Golden Age of Hollywood, then morphs into a meditation on life choices and regrets. FULL REVIEW
In a summer when movies labor overtime to win us over, Meryl Streep, Hugh Grant and director Stephen Frears (Philomena) make it look easy with the funny and sad true story of a 1940s Manhattan socialite who bought out Carnegie Hall to give a one-woman singing recital. The hitch: No one dared inform her she could not sing a note. FULL REVIEW
Paul Feig (Bridesmaids) remakes the Gone With the Wind of supernatural comedies, this time with an all-female ghost-hunting cast. Look for appearances by original stars Bill Murray, Sigourney Weaver, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson. FULL REVIEW
Matt Damon returns nearly 10 years after last playing author Robert Ludlum's amnesia-stricken secret agent. This update — like the character's past — is instantly forgettable.
The friendship of two Brooklyn teens is torn asunder by their feuding parents. Greg Kinnear is outstanding as a conflicted dad. FULL REVIEW
The Little Prince (Theaters and Netflix)
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's classic children's book comes to the screen, graced by the voices of Jeff Bridges, Rachel McAdams, Ricky Gervais, Benicio Del Toro, Albert Brooks and Paul Giamatti.
The 1977 Disney original starred Helen Reddy and Mickey Rooney. This remake's got Bryce Dallas Howard and Robert Redford. That may or may not be an upgrade, but the dragon's definitely more impressive this time around.
This R-rated 'toon features dirty-mouthed deli meats desperately trying to avoid being devoured. (And no, we can't believe we just typed that sentence.)
Haven't they run out of places "where no man has gone before"? Uh, no: In the 13th big-screen adaptation of the 1960s TV series, Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) and Mr. Spock (Zachary Quinto) find themselves stranded on an unknown planet.
Mean-spirited. Derivative. Sloppily slapped together. In other words, just the thing to attract millions of 14-year-old boys — who, 30 years from now, will watch it with their own kids and cry out, "What was I thinking?" FULL REVIEW

What if you were sick and your doctor gave you two treatment options: surgery or a minimally invasive procedure performed through a pinhole. Wouldn't you want to know more?
Most people would. Unfortunately few patients who could benefit from minimally invasive, image-guided procedures (MIIPs) have ever heard of them. Because MIIPs are performed through a pinhole using medical imaging to see inside the body, they can safely and effectively treat many diseases so patients can return to their normal lives sooner. There are MIIPs to treat uterine fibroids, cancer, blood clots, blocked arteries, stroke, aneurysms and so much more. Specialized doctors perform life-saving MIIPs every day at hospitals and outpatient centers all across North America. So why have so few people ever heard of them?
MIIPs specialists like Interventional Radiologists have focused on finding innovative solutions for patients and developing new MIIPs, but they haven't focused on telling the world about these incredible procedures. But someone needs to spread the word. The pace of innovation is so brisk that the public and even many primary care doctors are unaware of the gamut of available medical options. As a result, many patients who could benefit from MIIPs never have an opportunity to consider whether they would choose a MIIP or another treatment. For those who do hear about MIIPs and want to learn more, there are few resources that explain them clearly.
This is why we founded the Interventional Initiative, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization with the mission to educate and engage the public about MIIPs. Research shows that patients who are empowered with the information to choose the best treatment for themselves actually do better. We believe that patients should have access to quality information about MIIPs that is easy to understand.
To that end, we are producing visual media about MIIPs that is educational, entertaining and engaging. Our major initiative is a documentary series titled Without a Scalpel, which follows the real stories of patients whose lives were transformed by a MIIP. We also produce a short vodcast series titled Behind the Scrubs, which highlights specific MIIPs like UFE, or "uterine fibroid embolization," to treat fibroids. Finally, our website, www.theii.org, contains a wealth of information about different kinds of MIIPs – and we are continually growing it. In the future, our site will also serve as a hub for engaging people who have had a MIIP or are trying to decide whether to have one – patients will be able to share their stories and ask questions of the experts.
Knowledge is power. Please visit www.theii.org, to see how powerful a little knowledge can be.

Another trip to Quilt Market is under my belt. This is my sixth Quilt Market (I've only missed one since my first Fall market in '08) and I feel like I've finally gotten settled into a routine of sorts. It's kind of a grueling routine (some days we are on the go from 8 a.m. until 11 p.m.) but it's a heck of a lot less overwhelming than that first show three years ago.
My POV as a Market attendee is really from the retailer side more than the vendor side since I'm there with my friend Sarah to order for her store. We don't have much downtime and what little we have is spent recapping what we've seen, planning what we still want to see and discussing the merits of different products and whether or not they fit into the shop. It's not easy and there are times when I absolutely love something but have to concede that my tastes run counter to what most customers will like.
There are plenty of places that do a much better job than I ever could of covering what's at Market, especially when it comes to fabric, so I'm just going to focus on a few of the patterns I saw (and loved) in Houston. (I queried the folks on the blog's Facebook page and that was the direction that seems to be of interest.)
My Favorite Things has two new duffel coat patterns out, one for women and one for kids, and the timing couldn't be better. I snapped a quick photo of a sample at the Checker booth but it really doesn't do the coat justice.
Such Designs won me over with the look of their patterns. Ellen of The Long Thread asked if I saw them when I ran into her at the Moda booth (be sure to check out her fab new fabric, if you haven't) and I completely agree with her take on them.
Embroidery patterns are on the rise and I'm going to have to get my hands on the ones from Penguin & Fish (so glad Sarah plans to get them and also ordered the ones from Sarah Jane). Oh and Lecien was showing off the coolest linen cross stitch/embroidery "tape" that I can see so much potential for.
In the world of quilt patterns, I've previously expressed my love for Jaybird and Lizzy House and that's not going to change anytime soon. I'm also completely, utterly blown away by Thomas Knauer's new patterns. Like, total awe. I "met" Thomas on Twitter and have been so thrilled to follow his journey to fabric designer (Andover! Pear Tree! Won a fat quarter bundle in his Schoolhouse!) and his patterns do not disappoint.
You can see all my Market photos on Flickr.

No matter what you believe or where you find yourself today — home with family, out with friends, stuck on the road amid strangers, or completely alone and lost in the desert, remember there's a star to guide to you. Just look up.
White Friday . . .
Do yourself (and everyone else a favor), step outside and enjoy the day.
Don't spend it, spending.
Stay home. Enjoy some cocoa or tea. Play with your family, friends, or pets.
Because all to soon the winter comes.
And at the end of your life, what you'll remember, what they'll remember, is that day.

by, January 24th, 2013 at 09:54 PM (989 Views)
Cold weather continues, so I was able to take advantage of two factors today: the occupancy in the lanes was sparse and GregJS was available to observe my attempt for the One Hour Swim. With a goal of 4300yds, I pushed off and did ...
0500 5:59.25
1000 6:22:66
1500 6:31:67
2000 7:06.00 (water break)
2500 6:30.69
3000 6:32.12
3500 6:58.38 (water break)
4000 6:35:62
4500 6:31.94
4565 0:51.57
I felt good in the water, and was able to reign in the last third by really focusing on EVF and consistent body roll in route to a regular SPL. This is almost 300 yards more than last year! I kept an eye on Greg as well, and he expanded on his tally from last year as well, so all in all a great contribution from the Bennington Monument Masters to Team New England Masters total for the national championship!
In other news, I also volunteered some time today to help with the age group team in town. I was able to get in an additional 1600 (so total of 6165yds on the day) as I helped to reinforce proper streamlining skills off every wall, and also long-axis body rotation. It is fun to work with the kids, and they again paid attention to me as I helped to be a for fast swimming with less effort.

This week we're sharing 'best practices' for YL College Club. Today the focus is on club talks. Find more resources for Young Life College here.
Different areas use different approaches when it comes to speakers. Some areas only use volunteer leaders on the YL College team while other areas invite outside speakers. Either way, go ahead at the beginning of the semester and make the speaker schedule and assign talk topics or scripture.
- Other YL Staff/leaders in the area
- Community leaders
- Friends from church
- Career leaders
- Professors
- Other ministry leaders (Cru, IV, RUF)
- Pastors
- Authors
- Student leaders
- Students sharing life stories/testimonies
- YL Director meets with each of them to help them think through/write out their talk.
- Sometimes in an interview format
- Just during the 2nd semester
Club Topics
YL areas do club talks in a variety of ways. Here are some ideas below.
Gospel Progression
- Intro
- Person of Christ
- Need
- Sin
- Cross
- Resurrection/Appropriation
Other areas have picked one of the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) and talked through it over a semester.
Some areas have found that shorter 3-week series are attractive to college students and others pick a theme for the whole semester. Here are some series ideas others shared with us:
- 'The Broken World' (giving 3 talks in a row about sin and our need for Christ)
- Roadblocks (doubt and apologetics)
- The Ridiculous Sayings of Jesus
- Sex, Dating, Relationships (in Feb, the month of Love and before spring break)
- Essentials of the Christian Faith
- How to follow Jesus
- Living in community
- Vision for your life
- Prepping for life after college
- The Beatitudes (called it "#waytobe")

There's much more space between the two ends of the system that allows us to make images of the X-ray emissions from cosmic objects. The cosmic object itself (such as a galaxy, or matter near a black hole) acts like the source in the doctor's machine, emitting X-rays on its own. On the other end, Chandra collects and records the X-rays shining into it -- like the camera on the X-ray machine. A Chandra X-ray image of, say, a galaxy gives an idea of how the galaxy is emitting X-rays, just like a photograph of the galaxy at visible wavelengths gives an idea of how the galaxy is emitting visible light. So could we photograph the source on an X-ray machine by simply eliminating the patient? It turns out the X-ray source is too close to the camera -- it illuminates the whole surface of the film uniformly, without any detail. (This is a good thing for the X-ray image -- it provides a smooth backdrop for the broken arm.)
So an X-ray machine can't act like Chandra and photograph an X-ray source. Chandra, however, can act like an X-ray machine and reveal information about what's between the source and the camera. Space is not empty, and there's bound to be material between us and a distant X-ray source -- perhaps a vast cloud of gas, or a disk of matter swirling into a black hole. Instead of blocking X-rays indiscriminately (like bone in an X-ray machine), these intervening objects absorb only particular wavelengths of X-ray radiation. By separating the X-ray light from the source into its component wavelengths and examining these absorption bands, we can learn about the matter between us and the X-ray source.

Henry W. Coil Jr. Makes Bequest to Culver Center
$900,000 gift will support UC Riverside's downtown arts center

RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Longtime philanthropist and arts benefactor Henry W. Coil Jr. has made a bequest pledge of $900,000 to support the UC Riverside Barbara and Art Culver Center of the Arts in downtown Riverside. The gift is one of the largest the University of California, Riverside has received to support arts programs.
The atrium of the Culver Center has been named the Coil Brothers Atrium, "a fitting tribute to Henry Coil's personal contributions to the arts and UCR" as well as to the lives of his brothers, the late Horace O. Coil, the late James L. Coil and John M. Coil of Santa Ana, said Stephen Cullenberg, dean of the UCR College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.
"This is a major gift, which acknowledges Henry's belief in the importance of arts and cultural activities in the community and at UC Riverside," said Jonathan Green, executive director of UCR ARTSblock, a facility that incorporates the Culver Center, the Sweeney Art Gallery and the California Museum of Photography (UCR/CMP). "The Culver Center is also a significant architectural presence in Riverside, and Henry's gift reflects his deep involvement in restoring some of Riverside's finest historical buildings. By naming the Coil Brothers Atrium, Henry extends and enhances his contributions to arts and to architecture in Riverside."
Coil, past president of Tilden-Coil Constructors Inc., is a founding director of UCR/CMP who served on the advisory board during the museum's early years alongside famed photographer Ansel Adams. Today, UCR/CMP is a world-class museum with the largest, most comprehensive holding of any photographic collection in the western half of the United States and the second-largest in the nation.
"Not many people know that Henry is quite a photographer," Green added. "Henry has been a part of CMP and everything that's happened here in the last 25 years. His continued generosity over more than three decades has provided critical support to both the UCR/CMP and the Sweeny Art Gallery, both of which complement the Culver Center of the Arts."
"As a businessman and general contractor, Henry Coil has literally helped build much of the physical infrastructure of greater Riverside," Cullenberg said. "Now, with his donation in support of the Culver Center, as well as his support for the Riverside Community College District's school for the arts, Henry has become someone who is profoundly impacting the artistic and creative lives of Riverside."
The Coil Brothers Atrium is the key gathering space in UCR ARTSblock, hosting dance and musical performances, art exhibitions, workshops and large community gatherings, said Tyler Stallings, artistic director of the Culver Center and director of UCR Sweeney Art Gallery. ARTSblock continues to be "a bridge between the university and the community," he said.
Born in Riverside, Coil earned his engineering degree at UC Berkeley and a law degree from Western State University in Fullerton, Calif. His father, Henry Coil Sr., was a prominent local attorney and his mother, Alice Edna, was an accountant. He joined the construction firm Marshall Tilden — established in 1938 — in 1971.
Coil said his support of the arts stems from his belief that the arts are essential to create a vibrant community.
"If we didn't have art in its various forms, we would have a stale community," he said. "Art is also a way of getting many people involved in the community in activities they enjoy, and encourages commitments of time and money."
Coil has made a significant impact on the city of Riverside through his philanthropy, volunteerism and commitment to the arts. He has served on the UCR Foundation Board of Trustees since 1982, serving as board chair from 1999 to 2001.
He has won numerous awards and has served on the boards of many community organizations, including the Riverside Arts Foundation, the American Red Cross, the Community Foundation, the Mission Inn Foundation, the Boy Scouts, the Carolyn E. Wylie Center for Children, Youth and Families, and the national Council for Resource Development, which named him a Benefactor of the Year in 2011 as one of the top 10 philanthropists in the country for their support of community colleges. He served on the Riverside City Council between 1963 and 1967.

Just last month a Caribbean Princess cruise had to cut its trip short. It returned to Bayport Cruise Terminal in Pasadena a day early so folks from the Centers for Disease Control could investigate what caused 181 passengers and 11 crew members to get sick, a nasty little bug called norovirus.
It was the third such cruise ship outbreak this year, literally putting a stomach cramp into people's vacation plans.
So, what's making online travel company Expedia Inc. think this is prime time to launch its CruiseShipCenters brick-and-mortar travel agency next month? According to them, with two local ports, population and investment growth this market, where 11 percent of all U.S. cruise travel originates is the place to cruise.
But what about the bad buzz for the cruise industry? Lest we forget one of the shittiest cruises to every leave a Texas port, just a year ago this month, the infamous Carnival poop cruise where people were forced to crap in cans because of a mechanical failure that stopped up the toilets.
Despite those horrific setbacks involving bodily functions, one local businessman Riyaz Momin is looking to get in on that cruise ship action with his own Expedia franchise. Momin, a Houston owner of two service stations, said he was looking to get into something different after 10 years in the retail gas business. "The best part of research and development is happening in Houston," Ryaz said, pointing out biomedical companies, refineries, and a move by Exxon to locate a campus in town as examples. For him the area is a prime client base for the luxury cruise tickets he hopes to sell, rounded out by retirees hoping to see the world.
But this recent spate of sickness on cruise ships is probably just a little bad luck, and if you're planning on a trip, the data shows the odds are in your favor. In 2013, the CDC reported seven cases of outbreaks on cruise ships, which involved just over 1,200 passengers, less than 1 percent of the millions who hop aboard for a cruise to Jamaica or Mexico. "The CDC reports there are up to 21 million norovirus cases in any typical year on land in the United States," a spokesman for Cruise Lines International Association pointed out to Hair Balls. So, you're probably more likely to get sick from bad fish tacos than from taking a Disney cruise.

"Cruising is an incredibly safe form of travel and cruise lines are taking more precautions than ever before to ensure the safety of their guests," Matthew Eichhorst, President of Expedia CruiseShipCenters, said in a statement to Hair Balls.
A total of 181 cruises are set to sail this year from Galveston. The Port of Houston will be shipping off about two dozen cruises in 2014.
Ryaz will open his Webster travel office in March. "I'm a strong believer in how cruise lines respond, and what steps they have taken for protections," he said. Of course he said, if you get sick there's a way to ensure you don't lose out too much. Just like with any investment, insurance goes a long way.
"If you are insured," he said, "Everything is taken care of. That few dollars that you spend on insurance is a great way to secure your vacation."

The gunmen were said to have disappeared before military personnel rushed to the affected areas.
