NHL notebook: Ekman-Larsson, Coyotes agree to extension
The Arizona Coyotes and defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson reached a verbal agreement on an eight-year contract extension, according to a Tuesday report from TSN.
The deal is reportedly worth $8.25 million per season and will include a no-movement clause.
Ekman-Larsson, who turns 27 next month, is eligible to sign a new contract starting July 1. He could have become an unrestricted free agent next summer if he didn't re-sign with Arizona.
Ekman-Larsson signed a six-year contract with Arizona in 2013, and the Coyotes have failed to make the playoffs while he has played out that deal. The No. 6 overall pick in the 2009 NHL Draft had 42 points (14 goals, 28 assists) in 82 games this season. In 576 career games, he has 290 points (102 goals, 188 assists).
--The Ottawa Senators are investigating allegations that the fiancee of forward Mike Hoffman repeatedly harassed defenseman Erik Karlsson and his wife, the team announced.
Karlsson and his wife, Melinda, filed for a protective order against Monika Caryk, Hoffman's fiancee, on May 4, alleging that Caryk has harassed the couple online since November. Hoffman denied the accusations to the Ottawa Citizen, "There is a 150 percent chance that my fiancee, Monika, and I are not involved in any of the accusations that have been pursued (that are) coming our way."
Among the claims made by the Karlssons in the document, which was obtained by multiple media outlets: "Monika Caryk has uttered numerous statements wishing my unborn child dead ... uttered that she wished I was dead and that someone should 'take out' my husband's legs to end his career." The Karlssons' first child, which was due in April, was stillborn in March.
--The Chicago Blackhawks and defenseman Henri Jokiharju agreed to terms on a three-year contract.
The Blackhawks selected Jokiharju in the first round (29th overall) of the 2017 draft. The Finnish 18-year-old just finished his second season with the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League.
Despite playing eight fewer games in 2017-18 than he did in his first WHL season, Jokiharju scored three more goals (12) and 20 more assists (59) in his second season.

The last entry to my Copenhagen style guide – sigh. My only regret is not going to Denmark for longer, that way I could of shot more outfits out there for you guys! Anyway, working with Neon Rose again, you might remember my London Fashion Week look from February, I knew I had to wrap up warm for the cooler temperatures.
Here I selected the Grey and Cream Colour Black Roll Neck Jumper from the latest A/W16 lookbook, and styled it with the Faux Leather Kick Flares – such a fab combination of comfort and style. The Kick Flares are my favourite item for A/W so far, they're super sleek and stylish – the perfect addition to my Winter wardrobe. That's what I always loved about Neon Rose, they have those 'must-have' pieces season after season, I'm already counting down the days to the next Winter collection!
To keep warm I added in my new Cream Flushed Oversized Coat from Missguided, and this cute Grey Marl Beanie from H&M – at only £6.99 I'll definitely be picking up a couple more of these! Treating myself to these beaut Pointed Buckle Ankle Boots from Riverisland, I was set for another day of exploring the beautiful Danish city.

I often come across readymade vol-au-vent cases in the supermarket and told myself to attempt to make them one day. I chanced upon an easy instruction for making them the other day while browsing through a cookbook by Manu Feildel and decided that my one day has finally come!
Instead of using ham and mushroom filling as mentioned in his recipe since I didn't happen to have any in my fridge, I decided to make my own filling using prawn, crabmeat & avocados. And the result was simply ..... to die for! (sorry for stealing your favourite quote, Manu!)
They look so dainty, tempting and delicious I had to stop my girl from devouring them before I took some good pics. Sorry sweetie, but the camera has to take the first bite!
Seafood Vol-Au-Vent with Prawns, Crabmeat & Avocados in White Sauce
2 sheets Puff Pastry, thawed
1 Egg, lightly beaten
3 Tbsp Butter
3 Tbsp Plain flour
1 1/2 cup Milk
Small Prawns (about 24 pcs depending on the size)
3 stick Crabmeat
Half Avocado
3 Small Onion, diced
1 Tbsp Oil
Pinch of Salt
Dash of Pepper
1) Using a 7.5cm round fluted cutter, cut out 12 rounds from the pastry sheet. Place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Brush the tops with beaten egg, then use a round 5.5cm cutter to score an inner circle on each, pressing 3/4 of the way through the pastry, taking care not to press all the way through. Refrigerate for 20 mins or until firm.
2) Preheat oven to 180C.
3) Bake the pastry shells for 20 mins or until light golden. Using a small, sharp knife, cut around the inner circles and remove the second layer of pastry (leave the pastry bases intact), reserving it for later use (using it as pastry "hat").
4) Cut the prawns, crabmeat & avocados into small pieces and set aside.
5) Stir fry the diced onions in oil until fragrant and set aside.
6) To make the creamy white sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour to make a paste. Slowly add milk, lower heat & stir constantly until sauce simmers and thickens. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for a further 1-2 mins until medium-thick consistency.
7) Add in the onion & prawns. Keep stirring until prawns are almost cooked, then add in crabmeats & cook for a further 1 min. Turn off the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
8) Add avocados to the mixture & spoon into the individual pastry shells. Top each shell with a pastry "hat" (the reserved inner sections) and serve.

Four foreign players from Quetta Gladiators pull out of PSL final in Lahore
LAHORE: With just less than a week to the big final of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) in Lahore, four foreign players from the Quetta Gladiators say they will not be participating in the event taking place in the Punjab capital.
Kevin Pietersen – who has been instrumental in taking his team to the PSL final, Luke Wright, Tymal Mills and Nathan McCullum have decided against playing in Lahore on March 5.
I'll pick that up in London tomorrow. Bye bye Dubai! Your weather was 👎🏼 but the golf was 👍🏻. #FamilyTime https://t.co/jMIMrL26NY
— KP (@KP24) February 28, 2017
It is learnt that Rilee Rossouw could come to the Punjab capital for the big game. The other players are a bit skeptical about security.
Quetta Gladiators have qualified for the finals on Tuesday after beating Peshawar Zalmi in a thrilling one-run victory.
It's with a heavy heart I will not be coming to Lahore. I have a young family and for me a game of cricket is just not worth the risk 1/3
— Luke Wright (@lukewright204) February 28, 2017
The Punjab administration said it was taking all measures necessary to hold the final in the city and has assured players about the security arrangements in and outside the Gaddafi Stadium.
I'm sorry as I know how much it means to you all and hopefully in the future the safety will not be in doubt to come play there. 2/3
— Luke Wright (@lukewright204) February 28, 2017
PSL Chairman Najam Sethi revealed that not only players but eight international security experts including those from ICC will be there to watch the PSL final and monitor the security situation in Pakistan.

— Tymal Mills (@tmills15) February 28, 2017
He added that the tickets for viewing the final in Lahore will be available from tomorrow.
Extraordinary security arrangements have been chalked out for the match while Pakistan Army has also assured full-proof security to the visiting foreign players.
Punjab government, after approval of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, on Monday gave the go-ahead for the final to take place in Lahore following thorough consideration and evaluation of security conditions in the country.

This Husky Starts Singing With His Human…But At 0:46, Get Ready To Smile Big Time!Ashley Maisano
We all know that Husky's love to howl, and are darn good at it too. Wookie the Husky loves to sing and belts out the baritone parts of a song with his human. He seems to really be enjoying himself, and I am really enjoying listening to him! But at 46 seconds in, the song gets even better!
The rest of the Husky pack joins in, during what I'd guess is the chorus. They are all howling loudly at the same time and it puts the biggest smile on my face. At the end, their human finally tells them to quiet down, but of course Wookie needs to get in the last word! I think these pups need to take their skills, become the next hot dog-band, and try out for America's Got Talent. I think they have a fair shot! What do you think?

iPods and iPod Speaker Information
The iPod was released on 2001, since then it seems to have taken over the world. You can see a lot of people listening to their iPods via earphones. You can even seen some carrying their portable iPod speakers. IPods are making history, but you do know the iPod's history?
Apple decided to dabble in creating software for personal digital devices. Apple wanted to make a few chances in the MP3 players that existed at that time. The company formed a team to work on innovating MP3 players. The hardware engineer chief was Jon Rubinstein. The hardware engineers were Tony Fadell and Michael Dhuey. Jonathan Ive was their design engineer. The Team worked to create the very first iPod. Apple decided to work with PortalPlayer for iPod's software. Pixo was also contracted by Apple to help with the user interface.
After a few months, their labor was finally awarded. The first iPod was ready for release. The people welcomed the iPods with open arms. Year after year, Apple kept on improving their iPods resulting to many generations of iPods, another set of generations for iPod minis and iPod nanos. Apple also have iPod shuffles and iPod videos. These iPods come in different sizes and colors. These iPods have different storage capacities and capabilities.
Apple did not concentrate on the unit itself, they also concentrated on making iPod accessories such as speakers. You'll be surprised at the many iPod speakers available on the market. To name a few they are, iPod subwoofer speakers, iPod docking station speakers, mini ipod speakers, iPod speaker system. These speakers will instantly turn your iPod into a music machine for everyone to listen to. What will kind of accessories will Apple release next? Let's give a guess, it has something to do with your iPod. We'll just have to wait and find out.

In an ipod speaker review, among the most rated ipod speaker system is the voix mpx system. It is not really the minutest but it is portable and has excellent bass and 3D sound feature. Many buy ipod speakers like this one because it is versatile as its docking connector fits almost every kind of ipod. Also, it comes with a carrying case and a remote, has a battery life of 10 hours, and also has an AC adapter or charger.

Montreal, A Great Destination!Reviewing: Canada Montreal | Rating:
I recently vacationed in Montreal for one of my friend's Birthdays. I had never been to Canada before so I wasn't really sure what I was getting myself into but I have to say it both exceeded my expectations and quite possibly went overboard! Montreal is nothing like Boston where I'm from, even though it is only a few hours apart. Montreal is a party city.
We went last winter and there was snow on the ground and it was a beautiful sight and everyone was out and about. I couldnt believe how different the culture and people were. Many only spoke french! I was also surprised by the exchange rate which made everything in canada appear to be very expensive. I had unfortunately believed that things would be cheaper, but I was very wrong.
Montreal is fun if you are a college student and want to be out all hours of the night partying. There was also excellent european style shopping.

I have a confession to a make: I almost quit belly dancing last year. I had hit a point where I was discouraged and burnout, and the two emotions together fueled a major rut. For a period of almost six months, I said no to every single private gig inquiry. While I was still doing my regularly monthly restaurant gig, a handful of other shows, and teaching with the Experimental College, these were all activities that I had previously committed to prior to sinking into my slump. I had dropped any new goals or ambitions. Despite my authoring a book on regularly practicing and setting goals, I was barely practicing myself. In short, I was being a major hypocrite.
I had hinted at my feelings mildly in this post from last summer, but I wasn't being entirely honest. I had down-played how extensively I was feeling this. There was a combination of factors that were contributing to my condition. As the post had discussed, I had been pretty discouraged by the lengthy negative feedback I had received during a belly dance competition. And in the second competition, while my feedback and scores were mainly positive and high, I still felt that I had let myself down. That I had more inside me that I could have brought to the stage, but that in the competition and in my other shows, I just for some reason couldn't access it. It was stuck.
I was stuck.
I was feeling that I had plateaued. I wasn't enjoying myself anymore and it was all starting to feel like a chore. Additionally, with moving, changing jobs, and getting married in a nine month time-span, I was just generally exhausted. Put all together, I was dealing with major burnout. I flat-out just didn't care if I continued to dance or not.
Thus, I did the only solution I could do: I stopped. As mentioned, I still fulfilled prior commitments that I had, but I didn't reach out for new things. Instead, I turned inward. I need time to nurture myself. I relaxed, read books, watched TV, and sat on the couch instead of popping in a practice DVD. I took things off my to-do list and released my need to reach certain milestones by certain deadlines. I listened to my body and in the process something magical began to happen.
I started to care again, but in a different sense. By releasing all the expectations I had built over the years, I got back to why I started to belly dance in the first place: because it brings me inner joy and peace. Because it's beautiful and it expresses a sacred part of who I am. And because, gosh darn it, I love wearing sequins. I began to dance more for myself and care much less about what my audience and fellow dancers thought of me. Will I never, ever care about what others think of me? No, that would be unrealistic. But I'm moving in the right direction. I also began experimenting more with music that spoke directly to me, music completely outside of the standard belly dance genre. Music that is more authentic to me and my performance. And I would also add that my students helped me. Just as students learn from their teachers, teachers also learn from their students. By seeing the novelty and wonder that is belly dancer reflected back at me through the eyes of my students, I was helped to see it that way again as well. While I'm now starting to revisit my goals, I'm no longer frantically attached to a checklist.
Yes, by giving myself the time and space to heal and rest, by literally doing nothing, I got to the next phase in the journey.
So why am I sharing this? Because I want you to know that if you are experiencing a low point, whether in belly dance or something else, you are okay. You are perfectly fine where you are. Everyone goes through low points, failures, and detours where they want to give up. So if you are experiencing this, just go with it. Let the ebb and flow of life happen. Take care of yourself and do what you need to do. You can't force inspiration or motivation to happen. As the ebb rises again you will emerge reinvigorated, maybe on the same path you were on before. Or maybe on a new one. Let yourself be a beginner again, starting fresh. Listen to what your soul says you need and nourish the experiences that are authentically you. Not because someone else thinks you should. Sometimes to achieve something, we have to let it go. Sometimes we have to step out of our own way.

City Views, Country Dreams
I am teasing you all a bit with the following picture, but thought it would be appropriate for this first post following our big November 6 election day.
I am very pleased with the election returns and with the large voter turnout. Those of you who see this post within the next six days will also be able to hear my "post-election commentary" on BBC London Radio's November 7 Joanne Good programme, using the Listen Again feature. I show up about two hours and 48 minutes into Joanne's programme.
Now, it's time for the adults in Washington, DC to start some problem solving by working together. I remain optomistic!

Let's hope so. My knowledge of American politics is based entirely on watching The West Wing. We are pleased with the election result too - failing Jed Bartlet Obama is not a bad substitute! My kids think he is cool. Katie who is 12 says Republican politicians all look the same and that their hair doesn't move! Personally I couldn't stand Romney's smug smile.ReplyDelete
How wonderful to hear your voice in that BBC interview!! I admire you for being so good at thinking on your feet and responding so articulately - I think I would have been tongue-tied!ReplyDelete
And yes, I'm also massively relieved (along with most of the rest of the world, I think) at Obama's re-election. It's not going to be an easy road ahead, but lets hope all parties can pull together.
All best wishes
how exciting frances, i'm off to have a listen. stay warm there, i see you've had a visit from father winter.ReplyDelete
Someone said to me today 'Well we hoped if faced with two evils the US citizenry would be clear as to the lesser, and they were'. But I'm with Sue's Katie ... the hair would have been the clincher for me!ReplyDelete
Just popping back to say how much I enjoyed your radio interview Frances. What interesting and articulate responses you gave and how lovely to hear your voice. Thank you.ReplyDelete
What the US political world needs to work on together in a genuine spirit if bi-partisanship, is not the economy, or the deficit, or China, or Iran or healthcare or any of those things, but how to hold elections without their becoming a matter of life and death and without spending the quantity of money that would save the lives of ten million famished children in Africa. Having said that I am relieved that Mr Obama won.ReplyDelete
I've just listened to you on the BBC :-) You covered lots of interesting angles with confidence.ReplyDelete
Did the Beeb ask you you'd like to revive 'Letter from America'?
I did listen- that was a great interview.ReplyDelete
Good for you, Frances!!ReplyDelete
And gosh what an odd snow storm!
Hello Frances:ReplyDelete
Now all the showmanship is over, it will be good if, as you say, party politics can take a back street to the real and pressing issues of the day. We are not able to receive a lot of things on the radio in England here in Budapest so we cannot tune in to your interview. We are sure that you will have performed brilliantly, however, as your posts are always exceedingly erudite.
Interesting to hear your voice. I enjoyed the interview.ReplyDelete
I enjoyed listening to your radio interview – I could see you Frances when you laughed. You replies were clear and expressive. While on my last trip I saw that Mitt Romney was not much liked in Europe and not only because he is a Europe basher. The Tea Party with its extreme agenda has too much a grip on the GOP. I hope the GOP can see the lights and become more moderate. Bravo to all the women who voted for freedom- freedom for reproductive rights, equal pay rights and decisions regarding their own health – I am surprised that any woman would vote for the GOP as it stands now. It's not going to be easy for the Democrats because even though the GOP lost they will still want to dictate their ways. I did not know this radio show, I have bookmarked it.ReplyDelete
Just popped back to say how lovely it was to hear your voice and your views Frances.ReplyDelete
Just looking back and I realise that in my original comment yesterday I hadn't been clear that the person talking to me was an American.ReplyDelete
My husband works for a US credit bank here in the UK so we followed the US election with great interest. I get the impression most of Europe breathed a sigh of relief when the results came in.
What fun it was to tune in and hear your voice! Yes, most people up here are very glad that Mr Obama is still the President!ReplyDelete
I really enjoyed you radio interview Frances and you were very eloquent... I didn't doubt otherwise as you have such a gift for writing.ReplyDelete
Hello dear Frances,ReplyDelete
I loved listening to you on the Beeb on the first show, shall really look forward to listening again tonight to your latest BBC interview.
Wonderful news that your President Barack Obama won the election, I was so rooting for him too.
Why is it that as soon as the election is over and the new president has so clearly been given a mandate, the sniping, the obstacles, the nastiness all return?ReplyDelete
Strange system.
That's wonderful! I'll bet you did a bang-up job on the BBC programme. :o)ReplyDelete
I share your feelings about the election. I did everything I could to help the Democrats win in Washington State, and by election day, I was absolutely drained. But it was all worth it in the end!
Let's hope for cooperation between the sides-- but it doesn't look good with both John Boehner and Mitch McConnell refusing to take the President's telephone calls after the election was called on Tuesday night/early Wed. AM. What kind of jerk has a servant tell the President of the United States to call back in the morning? What if it had been an emergency and we were under attack and the President needed to alert the Speaker of the House and the Senate Minority Leader of what was taking place. Their behaviour was not only childish but churlish and rude.
Oh, well. At least Obama has a more or less free hand now, because he doesn't have to worry about being re-elected in 2016!
Let's just relax and bask in the moment ...

Oh, I would SO love it if you became the next Letter from America - what a treat that would be.
Frances, I have been thinking of you and am so glad you are good and well, I am very late calling by but was thinking about you through the awful hurricane.

Dear Francis,ReplyDelete
Good news for the US. I think Europe is happy as well that Obama was chosen.
I have worn your baret this week. It looks lovely (and is so very warm)! :-)
Happy weekend!

I am gutted that I missed this! We have had our own little drama here in the form of a car crash which demolished our telegraph pole. We have been without internet and telephone for weeks but think ourselves very lucky when we compare ourselves to the victims of Sandy.ReplyDelete

VANCOUVER -- When the design for the new Vancouver Art Gallery is unveiled this spring, the city will be getting a building designed by Herzog & de Meuron, but not a Herzog & de Meuron building.
As a new exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery shows, there is no single Herzog & de Meuron look or style. The company doesn't come up with an idea from a template and plunk it down on a site.
The firm's exhaustive research and careful attention to detail produce designs that are surprising and unique, said Bruce Grenville, curator for the exhibition, which is about the Herzog & de Meuron design process.
"You can't look at their work and say, 'That's a Herzog & de Meuron building' because they differ wildly," Grenville said. "You're not getting a pre determined style. You're getting a style that's a response to the conditions and the site."
The firm is named after Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron, friends since their childhood in the mid 1950s. Founded in Basel in 1978, their firm was catapulted onto the world stage in 1995 when it was picked to transform London's Bankside Power Station into the Tate Modern, a building considered one of the world's great showcases for contemporary art.
One of the firm's most high-profile designs is the National Stadium in Beijing for the 2008 Summer Olympics. Known as the Bird's Nest, it was the result of a collaboration with Chinese artist Ai Wei Wei.
Last April, the Vancouver Art Gallery choose Herzog & de Meuron to design its proposed new 30,000 sq. m (320,000 sq. ft) building on the city-owned parking lot at West Georgia and Cambie.
In addition to high-profile projects, Herzog & de Meuron has designed much more modest buildings such as houses, apartments and medical centres. It has designed several art museums such as the Schaulager in Basel and the Perez Art Museum in Miami. One of its art museums in progress is M+ in Hong Kong.
The idea behind the VAG exhibition is to inform people about the process that Herzog & de Meuron goes through in designing a building that includes taking into account elements such as building materials, site, context, history, geography, and urban planning.
Christine Binswanger is the lead architect for the new VAG and one of five senior partners in the firm. As Binswanger acknowledged Thursday at a preview, the exhibition is different from others in an art gallery because the exhibits aren't art that you can see. They're such things as models and texts that "talk about a thing that is absent.
"It's not a show where you see flashy images," she said. "We really try to make people think and understand that before (a building) is sitting somewhere, there is a very long thought process and exchange process that leads to it."
The exhibition is divided into three sections. The first looks at how the Vancouver Art Gallery has changed over the years and includes images of the original art deco building at 1145 West Georgia in 1931, its international style renovation in 1951 and VAG's move into its current home in the renovated former Provincial Courthouse in 1983. A timeline spells out the current process, starting with the original master plan in 1998 to the projected opening of a new building in 2021.
Once a design for the new VAG is announced, the model will be added to the exhibition.
The second section is dominated by a raised plinth that includes images, text and models of numerous Herzog & de Meuron buildings. At the centre is a dramatic white model of the Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux in France showing the sport's stadium's open design. Another model is the low-slung Dominus Winery in California and its unusual exterior of stones in wire containers — called gabions — that help regulate the building's interior temperature.
In sharp contrast to the white second section is the black third section. This is where still photographs of the firm's buildings are projected to fill one entire wall of the space. In a unique intervention, the black space is pierced by a keyhole window that looks out onto West Georgia and brings the outside inside.
When Herzog & de Meuron was awarded the Pritzker Prize — one of the world's top architecture prizes — a juror said the Swiss firm was known for its "intellectual rigour and sensual intuition."
"One of the most compelling aspects of the work of Herzog & de Meuron is its capacity to astonish," Carlos Jiminez said in 2001. "They transform what might otherwise be an ordinary shape, condition or material into something extraordinary."
Material Future: The Architecture of Herzog & de Meuron and the Vancouver Art Gallery opens Friday and continues to Sunday, Oct. 4.

- Further information
William Yang has documented the gay scene in Sydney since the 1970s. At this time many were celebrating new-found freedom, greater acceptance in society and the start of the Mardi Gras parades.
In these images from the 1990s Yang investigates the impact of AIDS on his friends and community, as well as the broader social implications of the disease. The works act as memorials which acknowledge both individual fears, the illnesses that AIDS and HIV bring, the repercussions on the gay community, and the importance of public displays of recognition and remembrance.

I like food that is fuss free and high quality, and though I appreciate a creative flare I have an issue with making food pretentious as, for me, eating should be social not stuffy. This is especially true when it comes to traditional fast food such as burgers; eating off a white plate with cutlery just does not give me the same naughty satisfaction as getting an oozing bun wrapped in greaseproof paper, eaten with my hands.
Initially drawn in by its simple name, Dirty Burger has a similar view on how the humble burger should be devoured and has now become one of my regular hangouts.
Dirty Burger is part of the Soho House company with four locations throughout London and another in one of my top US travel destinations, Chicago.
My personal favourite is the Whitechapel branch, being close to my house and favourite cinema, Genesis, give it a good head start but also their graffiti covered doors, low key décor and chipper staff are everything that I look for in a Local.
And I am not the only one who shares this view, even on a Wednesday night the place was packed out with people looking for their fast food fix from either Chicken Shop or Dirty Burger who share this small restaurant space.
Queueing up, the hostess asked us if we would be happy sitting at the kitchen bar though it came with the danger of potentially getting splashed when chicken was chopped. Though I am vegetarian I am not at all squeamish so was willing to take the risk of sitting in the splash zone.
Being seated at an open kitchen is my favourite place as it is the heart of the restaurant and I feel like I have got a back stage pass.
Comfortable on our bar stools beside two ornamental chickens, we took a quick look at the menu which despite taking up a full wall only has a few items.
This is another plus point for me as after a long day at work I cannot handle reading a novel sized menu and I also much prefer somewhere that specialises and does a good job rather than trying to please everyone and being substandard.
For me there was with only one Veggie option, The Dirty Cop Out, which made ordering super simple.
Whilst waiting for our food to arrive we treated ourselves to a bottle of red wine, which came served in a jug with tumblers continuing the restaurant's super low key vibe.
Dirty Burger always has a great buzz, with a full dining room and the staff running around, getting orders out whilst cracking jokes create an energetic yet comfortable vibe.
Food dropped in front of us with minimal wait, we had napkins at the ready.
Unwrapping my veggie burger, cheese and mushrooms spilled out from the shiney brioche bun and as soon as I took my first bite, began to travel down my hands.
I have mentioned before that I much prefer well seasoned vegetables in a bun rather than a mystery bean patty so for me this burger is the full package and no way a cop out in my eyes.
My boyfriend also seemed similarly satisfied with his Dirty Bacon Burger, placing in his top 5 London burgers list, which is high praise indeed from a man who only last week went to two separate burger places in Shoreditch just for lunch..
Finishing up with a Chicken Shop wet wipe I cleaned myself up before hitting the cool streets of East London, feeling completely fulfilled.
This place is my ideal neighbour restaurant, accommodating, stylish and provides straightforward food that tastes great.
If you like this post why not pin it for later?

This was one of the most unpretentious concerts I have ever had the privilege to attend. Don McClean did not pretend he was still 30 but celebrated that we could still remember what we thought that would be like. Lots of encouragement for audience participation with favourite/well known songs. Only disappointment was that after the 'interval' we didn't do it all again. First time sure not to be the last time. Lovin it! Ashley and Robert
I saw Don in belfast on wednesday and again in Dublin on saturday. Both were very good but he sang crossroads in Dublin and not in Belfast and i think the Belfast audience missed out on a great performance of that song with tony on piano. he did a few up north that he didn't do in Dublin _ run diana run and in a musuem
What a difference a day makes. Having seen Don in Glasgow my son and I flew over to Belfast for the Waterfront Hall concert.
This hall is built in the round and it is not a huge venue so I was curious as to how the acoustics would work out.
The acoustics as it turned out were superb and I found I could clearly hear Emily Maguire's lyrics. It made a big difference as her writing is very good and I enjoyed this performance from Emily. Incidentally she was on our flight from Glasgow to Belfast.
Unlike Glasgow there was a notice in the foyer to say there would be an interval and that Don would be on stage at 8.50pm.
The Hall was about 70% full when Don came on to a great welcome and launched into Everyday followed by Winterwood. It was noticeable that he had what he calls "ragweed" in his voice and he had to use candies and deal with the problem throughout the performance.
Despite this he was in great form and seemed much more relaxed and happy than in Glasgow. He interacted much more with the audience and there was a warmth to this concert that was missing in Glasgow. He got good audience participation with "This Little Light Of Mine" and "Hard Travellin" although he did suggest at one point that some of the audience seemed "recently deceased"
Don couldn't possibly come to Belfast without doing "Mountains Of Mourne" and predictably this got a huge cheer and he sang it beautifully.
We got "The Three Of Us" ,"In A Museum" and a strident "Run Diana Run" and Don said he would like to be on stage "until dawn". He said he would play the banjo for us and went into a long session of country music with Pat on dobro.
This obviously went on longer than planned and the show ended at 10.45pm with the banjo still on the stand.
I am going to the Royal Albert Hall next week so I fervently hope and expect that he will play the banjo there. Third time lucky!
All in all this was a great concert at a great venue and it was a joy to be here.
Thanks good old boy, your still the best.
Thankyou to Don and his band for coming to Belfast and for a memorable show.
We loved every second of this magical concert, it was our first time seeing Don perform live and it lived up to all our hopes, will never forget Don singing "Crying" Our thanks to Don and his band for a truly special evening.
I attended Don's concert last night at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast. On the whole it was a very enjoyable evening although I would have preferred more from his early back catalogue. Winterwood, Vincent and of course American Pie were excellent as with others too numerous to mention especially a beautiful rendition of the Mountains of Mourne. On the downside the backing band were on occasion too loud and the drummer was more akin to 'Animal" on the Muppets. Some of the audience as Don commented appeared to be recently deceased. Don promised to play banjo but didn't. The highlight was when he stayed behind and signed his latest CD for the fans. Thanks Don.
We attended the Concert at the Waterfront Hall on Wednesday, 17th October, 2007. It was a fantastic evening with Don's voice as strong as ever. It was a wonderful mix of old and new songs, with classics "American Pie" and "Vincent," being crowd pleasers. Our particular favourite was "And I love you so," which was transfixing. We purchased Don's new C.D. and D.V.D. before the show and were delighted that he was able to spend time to sign it afterwards! What a wonderful evening!

Yup, those really realistic pictures from a while ago that showed a projector keyboard that turned out to be fake, are real now! Well sort of.
Lenovo has made a phone with a built in projector. A rather chunky phone. The coolest feature is that you can turn the lens around, prop up the phone on its stand and it'll project its screen onto the table in front of you. Yes, you can play games on a big touchscreen on your desk!
Check out the video below.
I doubt that the battery will last very long and I can't imagine carrying around such a chunky phone, but it is a very cool concept.

We have had a few posts recently that were posted IMO just to create fear, havoc and reaction.
Here is a reminder from the "rules" about Trolling.
This is not necessarily for the trollers but for those of us (me included) that feed the trolls.
Thank you all for reporting those posts by using the Report link or by private message.
Trolls and Trolling
Trolls are not welcome and will be banned. An Internet "troll" is a person who delights in sowing discord on the Internet. They try to start arguments and upset people. Trolls see Internet communications services as convenient venues for their bizarre game. For some reason, they don't "get" that they are hurting real people. To them, other Internet users are not quite human but are a kind of digital abstraction. Indeed, the greater the suffering they cause, the greater their "achievement" (as they see it). The anonymity of the net allows trolls to flourish. They are easily identified by the fact that they are constantly at odds with other members of the forum, and often "poke fun" at individuals they have disagreed with in the past, trying to provoke a reaction. Finally, trolls create a paranoid environment, such that a casual criticism by a new arrival can elicit a ferocious and inappropriate backlash. When you try to reason with a troll, he wins. When you insult a troll, he wins. When you scream at a troll, he wins. The only thing that trolls can't handle is being ignored. Again we will ban anyone who practices "Trolling".

Yesterday was another sunny day for cycling with Pedal Power. Our wonderful volunteer Lindsay will be unable to work on the desk in the future, a great loss to Pedal Power, Lindsay has one of the best smiles and brilliant admin skills and we wish her well in whatever she chooses to do next, she has promised to stay in touch and help out occasionally, many thanks. But Anne another volunteer, who has been working alongside Lindsay is going to take over running the desk and Alex will help as long as she has a turn on the hand cycle, it's great to welcome them both and know the desk is in safe hands. Efficient running of the desk is essential because the statistics we collect go into grant applications and reports that I write for funders.
Quote from a parent " this is the first time I've taken part in an activity with my daughter and learn a skill at the same time "
One of the best things I saw yesterday was people meeting up with each other who hadn't seen each other in a long time, lots of hugs and laughter.
I love working with Pedal Power: our lovely members, hard-working trainers and the talented, generous volunteers it's just great. Jo

|Germany: Football Association Fails to Prevent Clips of Games being Shown on Internet
Klinkert Zindel Partner
(This article is from international law office, and we put it here only for our internal members to study and research. If it violates the author's copyright, please send e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com, and we will delete it immediately.)
On October 28 2010 the civil division of the Federal Court of Justice held that the Württemberg Football Association could not prevent short video clips of amateur football games between its member clubs being made accessible to the public on the Internet. The full decision has not been published yet, but the court has issued a press release summarising the case.
The defendant operates an advertising-financed internet portal which can be accessed at 'www.hartplatzhelden.de'. Users can upload clips of amateur football games onto the portal. The clips can be up to 90 seconds long and can be viewed free of charge by other visitors to the portal.
The claimant football association, which organises the football games, considered itself to own the exclusive commercial exploitation rights to the games, given that it organised the games. As such, it asked the operator of the internet portal to cease publication of the video clips. The portal operator refused.
The Stuttgart Regional Court and Higher Regional Court ruled in favour of the football association. The latter court allowed a further appeal to the highest court in civil matters, the Federal Court of Justice.
Federal Court of Justice decision
In contrast to the lower courts, the Federal Court of Justice denied the Württemberg Football Association exclusive exploitation rights to the games played by its member clubs. In particular, the court held that the publication of the football clips on the portal could not be considered to constitute unfair imitation of another party's protected work. The court held that the football association could protect its rights to the commercial exploitation of games played by its member clubs by implementing rules to prevent visitors from shooting footage of the games. The court also rejected the argument that sport associations enjoy general and exclusive exploitation rights to the games played by their member clubs.
Once the grounds of this decision have been published, a fierce debate over its legitimacy and implications can be expected to ensue.
The opinions expressed do not constitute investment advice and specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

Since 2006, Emma-Lee's work has been published by Kerrang! Magazine UK, Chloe Magazine, The Toronto Star, The Globe & Mail, Exclaim!, nearly every weekly magazine in Canada and has graced the covers of numerous albums.
A critically acclaimed singer/songwriter herself, Emma-Lee has become the go-to photographer for musicians seeking an artist they can truly connect with. Her sharp eye and knack for creating the perfect marriage of image and music result in standout photographs that consistently draw attention.
Although largely focused on music portraiture Emma-Lee is also available for acting headshots, editorial assignments as well as private commissions for portraiture of any kind.
Emma-Lee is currently based in Nashville, TN.
I've always been fascinated by how a single image can say so much, if we let it. The vulnerability of an artist is their greatest strength and it's always my goal to build a level of trust with the people I work with that allows them to tell their story honestly and confidently.
"The reason I do photographs is to help people understand my music, so it's very important that I am the same, emotionally, in the photographs as in the music. Most people's eyes are much better developed than their ears. If they see a certain emotion in the photograph, they'll understand the music. So instead of having to listen to my album ten times, they'll get it the first time."

Our media planning allows you to reach those who really count: Buyers
What makes a media plan successful? When it has more to offer than a sociodemographic target-group strategy.
Top media planners think multi-laterally. They're driven by the desire to keep wastage to an absolute minimum. That's why at Mediaplus we focus on reaching those consumers who are particularly important for your company: potential buyers. This specific media planning orientation gives our clients efficiency benefits of up to 30 percent. If we simply concentrated on sociodemographic target groups, we would never manage to achieve such outstanding results: These groups serve to describe media viewership and readership, but they don't tell us how interested the target groups really are. And it's this precise information that is so decisive for a campaign's success. So we use a different approach – and work in close collaboration with the GfK's market researchers.
Our media planning is based on consumer research
We integrate insights from the GfK's consumer research into our media strategies. For instance, we combine data from the GfK consumer panel and AGF television panel, which enables us to develop a completely novel class of media knowhow that can be used to target TV environments with unprecedented efficiency. Our media planning is tailored to specific groups of buyers and enables us to find out exactly which groups have the highest potential for responding to your campaign. In other words: The performance of our media planning isn't expressed in typical key figures such as reach, average number of contacts or GRPs. Instead, it improves your ROI for the long term.

We do not feel that SciFi gave Tremors an opportunity to gain its audience. We think it should be given another chance. And we think we can make it happen!
Here's why:
- In spite of the episodes being shown out of order and being uncerimoniously yanked off the schedule for months, Tremors stayed on the list of top ten SciFi shows for it's entire run, including reruns. Stampede Entertainment admits the series came very close to the ratings goals. If given a proper opportunity to gain an audience, there's no reason it can't do even better.
- There is a movie coming out in December that is already getting good advance reviews. That kind of publicity can't help but give the series a ratings boost.
- Tremors continues a fan favorite WORLDWIDE. It's not just a US phenomonon. There are Tremors websites set up as far-flung as the UK, Australia and Russia. This means the potential marketbase for the show is just as wide. Fans of the series have logged in from Japan, the Netherlands, Italy, Sweden, the UK, Australia, and Russia.
- Tremors is family entertainment. How many shows that feature guns can be said to be family entertainment? While the guns are there, the people are never the targets. The show displays good family values and high moral standards. We NEED more shows like this.
- The Tremors series has definite DVD possibilities. The movies have always done well in the video market and there's no reason to think the series won't do the same. The worldwide popularity of Tremors almost guarantees DVD sales will be successful.
- SciFi can't expect to run a network on one show. Stargate is great, but it's just One Show. People like diversity.
- Tremors isn't a flash-in-the-pan. There are three successful movies with another one on the way and the series has gathered even
more fans. This isn't something that's just going to go away.
- It's not too late for Tremors. It's still on the regular Friday night lineup and still fresh in people's minds. Fans not active in the mailing lists and forums may still be unaware that it's been cancelled.
Please do the following:
1) Write a letter or postcard to the SciFi Channel. E-mail is nice, but not enough. Send e-mail AND postal mail.
2) Your letter should be brief, but polite and well thought-out, using proper grammar and spelling. (I know a lot of you are still in school - get one of your English teachers to proof the letter before you send it. It will look better and you might get extra credit!)
3) Don't threaten, not even as a joke. Don't criticize - that's not what the letter is for. Just tell them you like the show and think it deserves another chance.
4) Tell them why you like Tremors, and why they should give it another chance. Remember, they see the bottom line - they'll want to know what's in it for them. (There's a whole list up above, and I'm sure you can think of more!)
5) Remind them that Tremors fans are worldwide, with Tremors sites set up in the UK, Australia, and Russia, as well as the US. Fans of the series have logged in from Japan, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Sweden, Germany, the UK, Australia, and Russia.
6) Get your family, friends, and co-workers to write as well.
7) Do not say that you are writing as part of a campaign. They want to hear from "you," not "us."

Traditional interior design doesn't just mean the country house style. It can encompass many different styles from Gustavian, Fin de Siècle, Shabby Chic to Biedermeier and many in between.
The projects I'm able to show you here could also be labelled "eclectic," or "international."
What the projects in this selection have in common is a layering of textures and detail not associated with contemporary interior design. It's worth noting that furniture in a traditional interior scheme doesn't have to be antique, much of it here is bespoke, made using rich veneers and natural inlays such as silver or copper. Layering textiles and rich colours, creating a sympathetic lighting design all add up to a visual richness of a traditional design.
The greatest fun comes when you can mix them all together.

Aside from proper caring of the body, I always see to it that i wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Oh, shoes! I was named after Imelda Marcos, the wife of the erstwhile President of the Philippines, who has got herself in the world book of Guiness Records for having the most number of shoes. Like her, i have safety toe boots, and i have many of them. I only go for comfy and sturdy shoes, as i wear them for all seasons. Its a great value for my money. Its my way of pampering myself.

Nic Von Rupp // Chile // 10:00
Today, Nic Von Rupp's road leads us to South America. Nic escaped the big, cold tubes of Portugal for… well, some big cold tubes in Chile. The kid turns out to be a maestro under the lip, but you must've already known that. After all, you did see the March 2014 issue of SURFING Magazine right? Who's that on Page 1?

1. I may or may not have spent a little money at the TpT sale. With the hectic holidays, changes in weather, and the anticipation of students getting a little crazy in the excitement and anticipation, I decided to stock up on some new seasonal items. Boy, I'm glad I did!
First up, Lovin Lit, has some amazing resources. The products I'm currently loving of hers, come from her Christmas pack. Three separate set of lessons that are no-prep. Just print and go. Erin, does a wonderful job of getting down to the last detail; it's all done for you.
I used her Common Core Christmas pack with the holidays around the world watching guide. Incorporating a YouTube video that my students LOVED! It was humorous, educational, and entertaining a perfect match!!
A great brain break comes from the video that my kiddos absolutely LOVE! You can check it out {here}.
2. Figurative language has been a focus in our room this week. A topic that is pretty fun, and offers itself as a good release during this crazy time of year.
First we reviewed synonyms and antonyms. I saw this awesome idea on Third Grade Bugs Instagram (I'd take a screenshot, but my Instagram feed is having issues). I found a picture of a snowflake from Google Images to use as the template. Students wrote synonym on the front and the definition, then filled in various synonyms along the outer edges of the snowflake. When checked, students were able to cut out the snowflake then repeat the processes with antonyms on the back. They've added a fun touch to our room!
3. Our next figurative language movement was to similes and metaphors. I found a fun video on YouTube that several students complained was stuck in their head all day... muah haha, my plan of them retaining what I teach is working! :)
freebie!} task cards for student practice from Teaching with a Mountain View. My students enjoy bopping around the room. Adds a little movement to a normal worksheet.
4. Just for fun and some holiday cheer, I totally and completely copied this adorable idea from my friend Sarah's instagram. She posted her 5th graders caroling reindeer and I knew my fourth graders had to do that project too. Seriously so cute!
5. During the big sale I also picked up a holidays around the world research project from More Than a Worksheet. This pack has a nontraditonal report template included: sharing about your country through a song format: The 12 Days of "the country's holiday".
I added on to this project, by first have students work in small groups to research their countries. Then, they were to research that country's version of Christmas and the symbols of that holiday. From there, I had the students create an ornament for the tree that symbolized that country or the holiday they had researched. After that, the students recorded their songs on Educreations or iMovie to share with the class.
I'm going to use this project as my start of the December link-up for Classroom Applications. Do you have a way that you are using the iPad in your classroom? Be sure to link up all month long and check out the tab above for ideas from previous months.
Hope I've helped to inspire a few last minute ideas!

It has literally been over a year since I have typed anything on this blog. There have been a lot of times when I have sat down, fully intending to write, but my brain just hasn't had the space to sort my thoughts. So you know all of those introspective posts that you used to read? Yeah, just forget about those.
Some of you may have heard that I have recruited Alex to embark on an eight week fitness journey with me (ok, it was actually kind of his idea) that I have enthusiastically named "Alex and Rachel's Summer Fitness Extravaganza!" If you're at all familiar with the Body Back program that I teach with Fit4Mom, just is just a riff on that program except I am doing it with my husband at home! I have decided to try to blog about it for accountability and because some people have been curious as to the types of workouts that Alex and I will be doing (often with our kids in tow). Tomorrow is the kickoff of our 8 week adventure, so here is the rundown:
–2x/week big workouts. On Saturday mornings and Tuesday evenings we are planning to do some HIIT or Crossfit WOD type workouts, either at our house, the local high school track or a nearby park. We are planning to make use of the awesome outdoor workout park at Ann Morrison (they are putting one of these in at Camel's Back Park too, which is WAY closer to us. Yay!).
–Weekly family run. Sunday is run-day. We will either be running together with the kids in the double BOB (either doing distance runs or some speed intervals) or taking turns running on the trails while the other one crazily tries to feed and dress our kids before we have to go to church. Alex is planning to run two other times a week while I will be training with the Boise Betties off and on (depending on my schedule) and running to Stroller Strides when we're at Julia Davis Park. I have a couple of races coming up in the next two months which will throw off our schedule a bit but it will be a fun challenge!
–Body Back. Starting in June I will be taking Body Back classes on Monday and Thursday nights. Just more awesome HIIT for me!
–Workouts. I'm finding a lot of the workouts that we'll be doing from Blonde Ponytail and am also just using a lot of workouts that I or fellow Body Back instructors have already written up.
–Clean eating. Starting on Monday we will be taking the Buzzfeed Clean Eating Challenge (I'm so excited to have someone else do the meal planning for me!) but after that we won't be following any specific diet. We generally try to eat "real" food at home and make most things ourself, but I have a CRAZY sweet tooth and Alex loves a beer or two in the evenings. We are going to cut out processed foods as much as possible, eat veggies at breakfast and try to generally be more thoughtful about our food. We are each allowing ourselves one "cheat" day each week (Hello Patio Wine Wednesday!) but won't go overboard on those days.
–Fitness Assessments. Just like any other results-based program, we will be doing beginning and ending fitness assessments. Tomorrow we will do as many sit-ups, pushups, biceps curls and burpees as we can for one minute each. Then we will see how long we can each hold a wall sit and a plank. I'll post my results tomorrow!
–Weight loss contest! We will be weighing in each week and whoever loses the most weight over the eight weeks gets to have an awesome date planned for them by the "loser". Kind of a win/win situation. 🙂
That's our plan in a nutshell. I'm really excited to have something that Alex and I will be focused on together for the next two months. Sometimes when you're parenting small children it's not uncommon to realize that you haven't really talked to your spouse in like, oh, six months or so. Hopefully this will help us remedy that.
We'll have a few hiccups along the way to figure out. The kids and I are going out of town for five days to visit my sister in Phoenix and I need to make sure that I don't lose momentum there. Also, that I don't just eat a ton of ice cream. The struggle is real, people.
Anyway, this whole "exercising with your spouse" thing is new to us. I expect it to be fun, motivating, challenging, and a little bit awkward. So stay tuned!

Euromillions Second Tier Millionaires
Updated: Monday 20th July 2015
Euromillions fever has gripped the nation since Tuesday's draw failed to produce any 5 + 2 winners meaning the jackpot was pretty much guaranteed to hit the 'Jackpot Cap'. Last night's draw did just that and whilst no one managed to take home the mega jackpot of £164,761,000, six lucky winners in the next prize tier (match 5 main and 1 Lucky Star) have woken up this morning to check the Euromillions results and found that they are multi-millionaires thanks to the 'Jackpot Cap'.
If the weather was cold and wet yesterday, the heat from Euromillions fever more than made up for it, as an estimated 900 tickets a second were snapped up by hopeful punters, desperate to get their hands on a share of the colossal prize money.
Once the Euromillions reaches its 'Jackpot Cap' (the new Euromillions rule came in force on 6th March 2009), the money in that vast prize pool rolls down to the next winning tier. This happened last night, with six players matching five main balls and one Lucky Star. They each walked away with £3,314,251 – not a bad sum for coming in second place. This morning, over 7.6 million residents of Europe woke up to the news they had won at least something on the Euromillions, with over 4.6 million winning £2.80 for matching two balls.
No matter what the weather does, this Tuesday's Euromillions draw is going to be white-hot. Don't miss your chance to win a share of this record-breaking total -- after all, it is the biggest ever lottery jackpot available to UK players. Buy your tickets online right now! It's quick, easy and safe. No more lost tickets, or trudging off to the newsagents to check your numbers -- you are automatically notified of a win.
And with the time you save going to the shop, you can spend it daydreaming on how you would spend the cash if you won. A chateau and a Ferrari perhaps?

Designs by Ron offers a diverse selection of graphic design services for small businesses and individual enterprises. We do and have done calendar design and layout, business card design, letterheads and stationery, wedding invitations and thank you card design and layout and logo design and build for a wide range of clientele and businesses across a vast array of professions.
All designs are created within the Adobe Creative Suite Software and designed to specifications as per specifications provided and/or required. For a clean and polished professional look print media often requires specific considerations such as:
- Critical elements should be at a minimum 1 ½ inch from the finished edge of the design.
- Artwork to be printed on non-banner materials (i.e. vinyl, poster, etc) should be designed without cropping marks or bleeds.
- Your artboard SHOULD have a single hairline box signifying the finished edge. If you require bleed, please size your hairline box accordingly.
- When possible create ALL artwork within Vector Art Software. This will prevent resolution loss due to scaling and will also aid in retaining and achieving a smaller file size.
Not all graphics to be displayed require the same resolution. i.e. billboards on the side of a freeway commonly are printed at resolutions as low as 15 dpi, whereas printed graphics that would be viewed at eye level or POP commonly are printed at 600 dpi or greater. Make sure that the resolution is "appropriate" for your graphics and please refrain from sending files that are "overkill". Files that we receive that are obviously "overkill" may be returned and a new file be requested.
Website Development with ALL Critical Criteria
What my clients "say"
"OMG – it has ALWAYS been my dream to have an "inter-operable" website! lol! Seriously, thanks for all your help and I am very proud of what we came up with … certainly could not have done it without you and your mad programming skill"
"I retained Ron's services "on the spot" 11 years ago and he has since developed and has been designing all my online websites, maintains and runs my blogs, does my web site maintenance and numerous other design projects for me. Easy and pleasant to work with, delivers on time. He's an integral and reliable part of my business now. Highly recommended.."
"I retained Ron to completely redesign and organize my entire site and collection online thereof. He worked with in a most efficient manner, with my being in Dijon, France and he being in Central Pennsylvania. It's a remarkable job and accomplishment, and a lot of memories of pleasant hour long phone calls. He can do my work from here on out."
"We , at E.A.R.S., would like to express our appreciation for all of your time, talent and hard work in creating our fundraising calendar. We know it was a challenge but you did a beautiful job. The Calendar is something we can all be proud of, thanks to you. You are obviously very talented and we are very grateful. Thanks again."

Seven thousand eight hundred and forty-three miles. That's how far a cappella singers in Chi Rho will be traveling for their spring mission tour this year.
The student-run and directed ensemble has toured nationally and internationally — performing contemporary Christian pop, rock and traditional hymns and releasing 11 albums — since 1993. Chi Rho's award-winning vocalists have been featured on "Voices Only," a compilation of the best college a cappella groups in the nation.
This year, to celebrate their 20th anniversary, the group of 12 men are traveling to Lusaka, Zambia, to spend a week with local orphans at Family Legacy. The organization connects American students with children whose parents were victims of extreme poverty or HIV/AIDS.
In Family Legacy's Tree of Life Children's Village, a ministry that provides a safe haven and a place to live for the city's most needy orphans, Chi Rho members will lead a cappella singing workshops, play with the children and serve at a community resource center. They will also perform at local churches.
"The group wanted to do something special," said senior Ryan Youngerman, who is graduating May 21 with a degree in business and enterprise management. "This is an exciting opportunity to step out of our comfort zone and in doing so, further the ministry of Chi Rho."
Sam Smartt, an MFA student in Wake Forest's Documentary Film Program, will travel with Chi Rho to document the trip.
