Good tailor in Vancouver? - Page 25post #361 of 5235/13/12 at 1:43pmSome of the buttonholes on my shirt are starting to unravel, anyone else have this problem before? Wondering if anyone knows a place that can lock it down and redo the undone parts of the buttonhole. Went to a couple of places, one suggested hand sewing with a buttonhole stitch while another suggested machine sewing to try and somewhat match the current zigzag stitch. Would've gone to Oakridge Tailors but they're going away for a couple of weeks and I don't want to wait that long. TIA

Haven't had one made so no idea on quality, but I checked with Oakridge last time I was in there and they gave me a very ballpark figure of $2k for a two piece. It's to be expected that they wouldn't be able to compete on price with the HK tailors just because of the higher labor costs and smaller market here. (My HK tailor charges around $600-$800 for a two piece).post #365 of 5237/10/12 at 10:09pm
Omg. Going though hell with them right now. 3 of us ordered suits for a wedding. Puchaced the suits end of april and they still have not arrived. We were told 2 months. There has been no followup by Vancouver Custom Suits. So far they have fallen short of all thier promises. Horrible business practices.post #366 of 5237/17/12 at 6:32am

I am also going through the same issue with Vancouver Custom Suits. I ordered two suits and shirts in the beginning of May, and they also told me 2 months. Obviously the wedding has come and gone, and the new girl "Lisa" told me prior that she was sending emails every day to the tailor to see if they could be shipped, but she had not been able to speak to them. Further phone calls have only met with an automated message saying they are not able to respond to phone or email, and further dates in July were advised. I have called today, after being advised July 17th was the next day they would be back, and the phone now appears to be disconnected. Apparently they have run away with the money...post #368 of 5237/18/12 at 12:28pm
I'm also going through the a similar situation except my fiancée managed to get ahold of the lady and demand the suit. She agreed and we were directed to meet her at their new store front location on Davie and Burrard where she was getting out of a taxi with suits in hand. I tried on my suit and the fit was all wrong, she said she would make the nesisary adjustments and call me in a week when it came back in. But I noticed she never wrote down anything or even measured the adjustments to be made and now it seems like their phones are disconnected both here in Vancouver and at Toronto custom suits aswell. I have contact Groupon about this and they are investigating it. If you bought a Groupon I would do the same. I should of took my suit and ran that day!!!!!post #369 of 5237/18/12 at 12:34pm

Incredible. I too have attempted to phone Vancouver Custom Suits (604-600-7073), just moments ago, and I can confirm that their line is disconnected. I have asked for a full refund -- which I sternly believe is the only fair course of action at this point -- and am waiting to hear from Vancouver Custom Suits. I have also contacted Groupon. They are now trying to reach Vancouver Custom Suits themselves.
If you are a customer of Vancouver Custom Suits and experiencing the same problems, I would encourage you to voice your grievances with Vancouver Custom Suits directly, in this forum, or through these outlets:post #370 of 5237/18/12 at 12:39pmQuote:Originally Posted by TonyW

Is there a chance that the suit in question -- the suit that "she was getting out of a taxi with" -- wasn't even yours? You say the fit was all wrong, that she never wrote anything, or took any measurements. It sounds like she duped you.post #371 of 5237/18/12 at 2:09pm
I too have been had by Vancouver Custom Suits. They told me to meet them to pick my suit up on July 11th and sent me to someone elses store at Davie and Burrard, which was closed. When I called, I got their voicemail about returning July 17th. They're obvioulsy gone now, same with Toronto. I've made a complaint to Groupon as well. We should all keep in touch and see where we get.post #372 of 5237/18/12 at 2:24pm

A little more info:
the store i was sent to at 1232 Burrard is now called Kelsall Suits...the owner of Toronto Custom Suits name is John Kelsall (according to linkedin). Connection is a little obvious here.
New website (in progress) http://kelsall.designers99.com/index.php

Nothing yet from Vancouver Custom Suits. Calling (604) 600-7073 now gets you a ring tone and a voicemail message that says they are "closed for business". Has anyone tried visiting Kelsall Suits at 1232 Burrard St.? Is this location a store front? Or it is an office-type set-up, like their previous location in Yaletown?
Thanks for staying in touch, guys. Please keep everyone in the loop.Return HomeBack to Forum: Classic Menswear

RIVERSIDE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Motivated by stabilized low rates, many small businesses in the Inland Empire are pulling the trigger on commercial real estate purchases using Small Business Administration (SBA) financing, according to CDC Small Business Finance.
Through the first four months of the year, CDC Small Business Finance approved $36.6 million in SBA-504 program financing to small businesses in the IE region.
"Rates are a factor, but recent SBA rule changes are making it easier for more small business entrepreneurs to qualify for SBA-504 financing to buy or construct their own facilities," said Phil Mulder, Inland Empire loan officer with CDC Small Business Finance, the nation's leader in SBA-504 loans.
Last month the SBA eliminated provisions that prevented small business owners with a high-net worth to purchase commercial real estate with a SBA-504 loan.
"These new changes will help more small businesses grow, create jobs and stimulate the economy," said Mulder.
SBA-504 loans, provided in partnership between certified development companies and banks, help small businesses finance the construction or purchase of commercial/industrial buildings as well as large equipment. CDC's most active bank partners to date in providing SBA-504 loans in the Inland Empire have been Union Bank, Security Bank of California and Bank of America.
SBA Green Financing
Small businesses are also being made aware in SBA lending is the "Green 504" loan program, which allows higher lending amounts for small business owners who want to buy or upgrade commercial/industrial buildings and make them more energy efficient. Buildings over $20 million can be financed using this unique program offered jointly by a bank and CDC Small Business Finance. Small business owners need only demonstrate a projected 10% reduction in energy costs by deploying one or more energy-saving improvements (e.g. insulation, lighting, heating/air conditioning).
The current SBA-504 rate is 5.07%, fixed for 20 years. Several Northern California businesses have taken advantage of the SBA-504 loan program to buy their own building, preserve cash and build owner equity.
Small business owners can find out if they qualify for a loan by calling Phil Mulder, 951.905.5703. They can also use the CDC's Prequalify Today tool, visit www.cdcloans.com or check CDC on Twitter @CDC_Loans and LinkedIn.
Note: Media interested in interviewing small business owners who have received SBA-504 loans to purchase a building can contact Larry Nuffer, firstname.lastname@example.com, 619.243.8620.

Prodigal Father (Father Dowling Series #21)
Posted December 9, 2008
for the Father Dowling flock
Father Roger Dowling leaves St. Hilary's Parish for his annual retreat with the Athanasians, a Catholic religious order that includes seven aging priests with no new blood in years. Though the long-term outlook appears to be the same as what happened to the Shakers, the small order owns the rights to Marygrove, a grand estate near Chicago given to the Athanasians by a late business mogul.
However, the very value of the property makes Marygrove in demand by avarice phonies including the grandson of the order¿s late benefactor. All of these souls want to use the estate for personal gain. Though each one of these outsiders will do almost anything to obtain an advantage, one of them resorts to murder, killing two people. Father Dowling investigates the homicides in an effort to determine who broke the Commandment and to thwart any other slayings.
The insight into a small dying religious order and their secular squabbles provide interesting depth to the who-done-it story line. Though Father Dowling remains a charming character he seems less sharp in PRODIGAL FATHER than usual perhaps because Mrs. Murkin is not around much to murky the waters. Still the Father Dowling flock will enjoy his latest amateur sleuth tale.

The Lipscomb women's tennis team finished off its Florida road trip with a tough match against Stetson 4-3.
The Lipscomb baseball team rallied from a two-run deficit to knock off Georgetown 8-3 Saturday at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh Stadium in nonconference action. Grant Massey finished the day 2-for-5 with a double, triple and three RBI.
Lipscomb pitcher Kelly Young set a new single-game high for the season with 15 strikeouts in a 6-0 Atlantic Sun win over Northern Kentucky at Grein Softball Field Saturday afternoon.
Georgetown scored four times in the ninth inning to come from behind and down the Lipscomb baseball team 8-5 Friday night in the opening game of a three-game non-conference series at chilly Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh Stadium.
The Lipscomb Lady Bisons are making their first A-Sun road trip of the season as they head to Northern Kentucky Saturday and Sunday for a three-game series. The two teams will meet in a single game at noon CT. On Sunday a doubleheader will start at 11 a.m. CT.

Diff, Patch, and Friends
The first comment asked for
The first comment asked for reasons. Here are a few.
1. Years of fighting with graphical tools can lead one to learn command line tools.
2. A major difference between the two is the former can be used in scripts.
3. Another significant difference is robustness. It's generally much easier to crash a graphical tool than a well-designed command line one.
4. Lastly, command line tools most often contain less code and require less system resources to operate, often making them better suited to work faster and more efficiently than graphical tools.
Smaller, faster and more reliable. Built for automation. A higher learning curve may be a trade off for higher performance.
Why in the world would I want to fight with command line tools when trying to compare and merge versions? Graphical diff and merge tools have existed for decades.
Now if you can show me a diff and merge tool that understands the syntax of the file being compared and I'll be far more interested. I have seen merge tools eat a brace way too often.
I think the images for figure
I think the images for figures 1 and 2 are broken. When I follow the links to view these figures, the images don't show up in my browser window.

Nice article! I now link to it from

Re: Diff, Patch, and Friends
You may want to link to the manpages for the free versions
of diff and patch too, instead of only the GNU versions:

Man charged with possessing explosive material in Dale City
On Thursday afternoon, the Prince William fire and rescue department were on the scene at the Dale Forest Apartments complex in Woodbridge to investigate a possible HAZMAT situation.
The Prince William County HAZMAT, Prince William fire and rescue department, Virginia State Police Bomb Squad, and Prince William police and Fire Marshal's office were all on scene after getting the report from maintenance workers at the complex, according to a fire and rescue release.
The workers saw a suspicious device when they entered the unit for a routine maintenance visit.
As a precaution, fire and rescue workers evacuated 45 apartments in three surrounding buildings, according to a fire and rescue release.
According to a county release, technicians and officers checked the reported unit to search for any explosives or hazardous material. They were able to secure the scene and remove the hazardous contents, and residents were allowed back into their apartments.
Potomac Local was on the scene to see the owner of the apartment, Alan Michael Blischak, being placed in a Prince William police cruiser.
After further investigation, the Prince William police, Virginia State Police, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Fire Marshal's Office and the FBI have charged Blischak with 4 counts of §18.2-85, which is the manufacture, possession or use of firebombs or explosive materials and devices, according to a fire and rescue release.
Blischak is currently being held without bond.
Marine Museum at Quantico breaks ground on final wing
Addition to showcase Marines from Vietnam to present day
At the controls of an excavator, James Collins, of Winchester, put a gold-colored bucket shovel in the ground outside the National Museum of the Marine Corps.
The Marine who served from 1986 until 1994 had the honor of breaking ground for the final phase of the museum that tells the history and story of the Marine Corps. The new wing will showcase Marines who served during the Vietnam War to present time.
"Marines who serve today do not have hall to walk through to show their family and friends, no record of those they served with, nothing that shows the Marine Corps history that was made during their time," said Chairman of the Marine Corps Heritage Board of Directors General Walter E. Boomer.
The new wing will include an art gallery, a large-screen theater, Hall of Valor, and a children's hall to open in 2017. A hall showcasing the stories of Marines that served in Beirut in 2018, a sports hall in 2019, and a changing gallery will open in 2020.
The new wing will also showcase the stories of Marines who served in the most recent Iraq war, in Afghanistan, in Grenada, Somalia, and Operation Desert Strom in Iraq.
"After a decade and a half…the completion of our museum is on the horizon," said Marine Corps Heritage Foundation President Lt. Gen. Robert R. Blackman, Jr.
The museum opened in 2006 and currently tells the stories of Marines that served between 1775 and the Vietnam War. The new expansion had been planned for since before the museum opened, and the wing will complete the final phase of the museum's originally planned circle footprint on a hill overlooking Interstate 95 at Quantico.
The groundbreaking of the new wing was bumped up from 2017 to today thanks to a $10 million donation from the Tim and Sandy Day Family Foundation. The museum foundation so far raised $54 million of their overall $70 million goal to complete the museum.
The process of collecting artifacts that will be on display in the new wing began in 2012. Museum officials said the process of collecting more recent historical objects is sometimes more difficult to obtain than those that date back 40 years or more.
The National Museum of the Marine Corps opened in 2006. Since then, more than 4 million visitors from all over the country have flocked to Quantico Marine Corps Base to tour the center. The military has also embraced the museum, as 346 ceremonies were held at the museum last year to include reenlistments ceremonies, retirements, and a speical celebration to commemorate the birthday of the Marine Corps.
"We are proud of what this museum has become for the Marines and the community," said Boomer.
The first portion of Friday's groundbreaking ceremony was held indoors where several people gathered to hear speeches and live music from members of the Marine Corps Band.

Stafford area public access network to open new studio space
On Saturday, the Central Virginia Public Access Television (CVTV) network, will be hosting a ribbon cutting ceremony and open house for their new studio space.
The space, which is 5,300 square feet, is located off of Route 3 in Fredericksburg, according to Charles Thomas, the CEO for CVTV.
According to Thomas, the project has been a work in progress for over six years, and they have seen huge growth in the past few years.
"We were all over the place before – then we found a couple of classrooms up at the Career and Training Solutions location – they were gracious enough to allow us to come in there and do some of our programming there," said Thomas.
The new space will have three studios and other space for volunteers and staff to prepare television programming.
"Now we're moving into a 5,300 square foot studio [space] and office. We'll have three studios – one will be large enough to hold 50 people, so we'll have an audience studio. We'll have a news studio. And then we'll have a multi-purpose studio, which will have a green screen and a couple of other sets set up in there. We'll also have office space, so we can have people come down and sit – they can do any type of work they need to do to prepare for their program…we're very excited to be moving to our new location," Thomas commented.
In addition to the new space, they're hoping to expand their coverage area, which currently includes Stafford, Spotsylvania, and Fredericksburg, with the hope of spreading into King George. Thomas also stated that they're working on increasing their program lineup.
"We've expanded on our programming a great deal. Last season, we actually did all of the high school football games. We've got about 30 programs we're seeing right now – hopefully, we'll get that to 50 by this summer," Thomas said.
Thomas stated that the biggest thing he has learned while running CVTV is that you have to stay consistent.
"The biggest thing I've probably learned is that you have to…my level of persistence had to grow. When you're dealing with an all-volunteer organization, you have people that come and go, and it can be tough having any consistency on a long term [basis]. It's just one of those things you have to keep painting the vision; you have to be persistent and you have to keep selling the dream," Thomas commented.
CVTV is currently looking for volunteers to get involved, with plans to hire staff as they continue to grow.
Ashburn woman earns Miss Historic Manassas title
Sarah Reed, a 20-year old Ashburn resident, was crowned Miss Historic Manassas, despite not being a Manassas resident.
Reed is currently a sophomore in Communications at Liberty University in Lynchburg.
"I competed [in] the Greater Prince William County pageant – they gave away three titles – Miss Greater Prince William County, Miss Historic Manassas and then Miss Potomac," said Reed.
The pageant took place back in November.
Originally the Miss Historic Manassas title was going to be restricted to only pageant contestant that lived in the area, but only one of the twelve contestants was from Manassas.
"The qualification for all of the pageants in Virginia is that you have to be a Virginia resident. Originally, for the Miss Historic Manassas, it was going to be closed, which means you have to live in Manassas in order to win the title, but the only way they would be able to guarantee that was if there were more than three contestants that competed lived in Manassas."
According to Reed, she feels that her experiences visiting the Manassas area equip her for the title, despite not living there.
"I've always loved learning about Manassas, and we live in Northern Virginia, and we've always visited Manassas to go to Bull Run light festival, to go to the [Manassas] Battlefield –so it's really cool to now be representing it, because I've grown up going there, ever since I moved here," said Reed.
During the pageant, Reed and the other contestants competed in several categories including swimwear, talent, interview and evening gowns.
For Reed, winning the title was a happy surprise, as she has only been competing since last year and has been involved in four pageants thus far.
"I was lucky enough to win one of the titles – which I'm so excited about. I just started competing last year in pageants, so it's very new to me, and I'm really learning the entire process of it. So it's cool to know you don't have to grow up, knowing how to do pageants, you can jump into it, and as long as your passionate about something, that will show in every step of the competition," said Reed.
During her time as Miss Historic Manassas, Reed will be implementing her anti-bullying campaign, titled 'Beauty and the Beast'. For Reed, selecting this as a platform was something personal.
"For someone's who's been a victim of bullying, since they've been in first grade, all the way up to until senior years of high school, it is something that has been engrained in my brain. And it wasn't until I finally gained confidence in myself, that I realized that no one has the right to tell me who I am and how I should be."
Reed is working with the school system in Manassas to plan events and speak to students about the dangers of bullying, and how to get help.
"I want to be an active member of the community, because not only am I representing it, but I want to represent it with so much grace and responsibility – because I do take my title very seriously," Reed commented.
Reed will be competing in the next phase of the competition in the Miss Virginia pageant next year.
Dale City apartments evacuated, incendiary device found
An incendiary device found at a Dale City apartment complex forced the evacuation of 30 homes.
Police were called to Westway Lane at the Dale Forest Apartment complex in Dale City about 4 p.m. Fire and rescue personnel were also called, and all of it was to investigate a reported HAZMAT situation.
No injuries were reported as result of the incident. Police assured residents that there is no threat to the public.
The evacuation sent residents into the streets during the late afternoon hours. Some stood and watched police as they questioned a man at the back of a police car.
When Potomac Local arrived to the scene, the man was placed into the backseat of a police cruiser and officers ceased their line of questioning.
Prince William County Fire and Rescue Chief Kevin McGee was called to the scene. Investigators are still working on the case, police said.
A resident who declined to provide her name was shaken by the incident.
"It doesn't matter where you go, you're not safe," she said.
The Dale Forest Apartment complex dates back more than 45 years. The apartments are marketed to those who want to live in the Dale City, Woodbridge, Quantico, and Fort Belvoir areas.
Bullet hole found at Manassas area home
The resident of a home in the 8500 block of Cabot Court near Manassas found a bullet hole in a wall.
Police were called to the home at 8:11 p.m. Wednesday after the homeowner found the damage.
The resident told police he heard a loud noise about 3:30 p.m. earlier in the day. He heard what sounded like a gunshot, according to police. No one was injured.
Lake dam repairs underway at NOVA Woodbridge campus
A construction project to repair a dam at a lake on Northern Virginia Community College Woodbridge Campus is underway.
The lake was drained of most of its water earlier this year so repairs to the dam could be made. While some water remains in the lake, the water level is much lower than normal.
The lake is often used by science students at the school, and has been used for sporting practice and events.
Classes were first offered at the Woodbridge Campus, first dubbed the "southern campus" in 1972.
Water will be returned to the lake once repairs to the dam are completed.

Woodbridge man dies after hitting telephone pole in Triangle
On March 17, Prince William police's Crash Investigation unit responded to a call about a single vehicle crash near Graham Park Drive and Olde Port Lane in Triangle.
According to a Prince William police release, their investigation showed that the driver of the vehicle, a 2004 Nissan Maxima, was traveling on Graham Park Road at a high speed.
The Prince William police release stated that the car entered oncoming traffic and then veered off the roadway, hitting a telephone pole straight on.
The driver, Marvin Wayne Williams, a 56-year old man from Woodbridge, was taken from the scene of the crash to a local hospital, but he later died from his injuries sustained in the crash on Monday, said a police release.
Alcohol and drug use were not factors in the crash. The Prince William police release did state that the victim was not wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash.
This is the first fatal car crash in Prince William County this year.
Community rallies around family of plane crash victims in Prince William
Mike Lovitt, owner and operator of the Chick-fil-a in Bristow spoke with the Selke family following the news of the Germanwings plane crash on Tuesday , to express his condolences and offer community support.
"I spoke with the son…I was surprised to get through…They were very grateful for the support, and I offered to be of assistance if they needed anything."
According to Lovitt, the family is coping and is doing the best they can after the loss of Yvonne and Emily Selke, who were among the 150 passengers on the flight.
Original post
Emily Selke, a recent college graduate, dedicated scholar and active sorority member was among the 150 passengers that perished on the Germanwings flight on Tuesday.
Selke, who was on board the plane with her mother Yvonne Selke, was a graduate of Woodbridge Senior High School and Drexel University.
"Emily was a student at Woodbridge [Senior] High School. She was honored in 2010, as having achieved summa cum laude status…which means she's very highly accomplished and had a minimum grade point average of 4.0…she went on to Drexel University after that," said Phil Kavits, Communications Director for Prince William County Schools.
In addition to her scholarly pursuits, Selke was very active in the Gamma Sigma Sigma Zeta sorority chapter at Drexel University during her college years.
"Emily served as our membership VP while in Zeta and she was an integral part of our growing chapter. She embodied the spirit of Gamma Sigma Sigma. As a person and friend, Emily always put others before herself and cared deeply for all those in her life. Emily will be greatly missed by her fellow sisters of Zeta," the sorority chapter said in a released statement.
Other community members have reached out to express their condolences and support for the Selke family, including Delegate Scott Lingamfelter.
"I want to express my profound condolences to the Selke family in this time of great sadness. This is a shocking tragedy that no family could ever be prepared for, and I cannot fathom the sorrow that must be felt by those who knew Yvonne and Emily. My prayers are with Yvonne and Emily's family and friends," Lingamfelter said in a release, continuing, "This is a sad day for the Prince William community, and I would ask that fellow citizens join me in prayer for the Selke family in their time of mourning."
The facts related to the crash are still being investigated.
This morning reports came out that stated that the co-pilot may have deliberately crashed the plane, which was flying from Spain to Germany, into the French Alps.
According to coverage from the Washington Post, the recovered cockpit audio indicated that the pilot of the flight was locked out of the cockpit before the plane descended and crashed into the French Alps.
Additionally, the report states that the co-pilot made no response to the pilot banging on the door to be let back into the cockpit.
The Washington Post stated that there were no known links between the co-pilot, Andreas Lubitz, and any terrorist groups. The investigation into the cause of the crash and the circumstances leading up to it is still open.

It's been referred to as an exercise ball, aerobics ball, Swiss ball, etc., but it's all the same thing. I call it a yoga ball because I actually practice some asanas on it for extra core-strengthening and to build my stabilizing muscles for surfing!
I'd always used a yoga ball as a part of my strengthening routine: sit ups, push ups, twists, etc. In fact, check this out! The plank to knee-crunch is great for surfers!
In addition to practicing basic exercises with my yoga ball, I also use my yoga ball as my office chair. There are pros and cons to using a yoga ball as your office chair, however; so, you be the judge.
I kid you not, though, my core muscles have never been more toned and strong since I began using my yoga ball as part of my home office. (Check this out to learn about getting the right ball for you.)
Just by sitting on the ball and moving around to keep your balance works your muscles. You can also set a flat square cushion on the ball for even more comfort. Again, check out the pros and cons to see if this is right for you. If you suffer from lower back pain already, using it as an office chair may not be the best option, but using it to work out likely will be!
I tend to sit for long periods of time teaching online phone and video classes to ESL (English as a Second Language, also known as English as a Learned Language) students in Korea. I have the luxury of working from home, so I can get up during classes and stretch for a minute, so I'm not sitting the whole time. Whether it be a yoga ball or a chair, sitting for long periods will trap energy in parts of your body, so get up and move around.
As I'm sitting, I also habitually lift my feet and simply balance there as I'm teaching (speaking, typing, etc.). I can even sit balanced in Sukhasana now.
For fun, I started trying some asanas (yoga poses) on the ball (not as I'm teaching). Turns out, some are possible–as long as you're careful, full Navasana (boat pose) left a substantial bruise on my bum.
What I'm trying to say is, working your core isn't as hard as we're made to think. Simply balancing on a yoga ball, on your bum, with your feet off the floor an inch or so, with your spine elongated, and chest lifted, is a fantastic little core workout.
You should be able to find a yoga ball at your local outlet (Winner's if your live in Canada; Ross if you live in America) for a decent price.
Ayurveda for Women by Dr. Robert E. Svoboda
During my Level 1 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training I was introduced, with some depth, to Ayurveda. Of course, there will always be more to learn about India's traditional system of health and healing, but where was I to begin? As a woman, who has menstrual cycles and therefore a unique vulnerability to the elements of the world, I saw Dr. Svoboda's book 'Ayurveda for Women' as a welcoming–and perhaps a necessary–companion to my knowledge and awareness of Ayurveda, and thereby to my health and wellbeing.
This book is concise, honest (even funny at times) and very relatable for today's Western woman. Dr. Svoboda is the first Westerner to ever graduate from a college of Ayurveda and be licensed to practice in India and is the leading advocate of Ayurveda in the USA.
The book is written in three parts (aside from the introduction), childhood, womanhood and the wise woman–that is, birth, life and death. It provides a series of questions to help you decipher your dosha*–or doshas, if you have more than one, like me. (*The word dosha means 'fault,' 'mistake,' 'imperfection.' There are three doshas: vata, pitta and kapha.)
Here are a few things I learned valuable from this book:
– Always sit down when you eat. Make time to eat consciously. Try not to talk too much while eating. Don't watch tv/a movie/etc. while eating. Enjoy every bite. Chew slowwwly. (I'm the slowest eater you'll meet, but these are always a very good reminder! And now I don't have to feel so bad when I'm still eating 30 minutes after everyone else has finished.)
– Don't just taste the food, feel it, smell, see it, and even hear it! When you cook your own food, you are engaging all of your senses. Feel the food before you put it in the pot, pan, dish, etc. Better yet, eat with your hands as much as possible (Indians eat with their hands because feeling your food is also part of the digestive process). Listen to it sizzle. Appreciate the colours (the more the colours the better! Indian food is rich in colours). By engaging all your senses you are adding to and aiding in the digestive process.
– Add turmeric to more dishes/recipes.
– Take note of the side effects of what you eat and don't eat that again (this I've always done, but I'm hyper aware of it now). Side effects such as bloating, acne, headaches, etc. are some to consider.
– Eat when you are hungry (This I've always done, but am happy to know I'm not doing it wrong!)
– Be careful with what you eat and physically do before and during menstruation. Don't physically exert yourself before or during; get lots of sleep before and during; and, eat light meals and less coffee/caffeine a few days before and during. Your menstrual cycle–the regularity or irregularity of it, the premenstrual symptoms, and the length of it–is a huge indicator of your physical health and the toxins stored up in your body. A short menstrual cycle is the key. (Since reading this book, and therefore since being more conscious of my menstrual cycle, my menstruation period has decreased from 5 days to 3 days!)
– Consider getting monthly oil massages by a professional to help detox your body and relieve tension and stress pent up in the muscles.
– Take Triphala regularly (and continue to take probiotic capsules!).
– Lastly, refer back to the book regularly when in question about something, anything regarding food and your menstrual cycle.

Vegetarian, Gluten-free Gravy!
How, on earth? Vegetarian and gluten-free gravy? You heard me correctly. I've been using this recipe for the past few years and it has been a fan favorite. Here's the recipe:
3 tbs of butter (you could use your choice of oil for a vegan recipe!)
2 tbs of finely chopped onions
2 minced garlic cloves
3-4 tbs of oat flour (if you don't care about the gluten, whole wheat flour will do!)
1 tbs of soy sauce
1 1/4 cup of vegetable broth
1 pinch of salt (optional)
Saute the onions and garlic until golden in a saucepan (or pot will work too) with butter (or oil). Once golden, add vegetable water and soy sauce, stir, then directly stir in the flour bit by bit with a whisk to avoid clumping. If you like your gravy thin then put less oat flour, if you like it thick then the full measurement will do. You may need to add more water, soy sauce, etc. until you get the consistency and taste that you prefer. Some black pepper added to it is delicious, too! Enjoy.
Why I'm Currently Obsessed with Coconut Oil!
In a recent post I discussed the benefits of oil pulling with coconut oil. Here I will discuss the benefits I've experienced from pulling and the benefits from adding coconut oil to my diet.
So, I wake up in the morning, swish my mouth quickly with water then begin pulling about one tablespoon of coconut oil (I really like Nutiva coconut oil) as I dry bush. It hasn't noticeably whitened my teeth–but I believe that is because I like my morning Early Grey and a post-surf coffee everyday. However, it has shown some significant positive effects in other ways.
Benefits I've Experienced from Oil Pulling with Coconut Oil:
1. It has completely diminished all my tooth pain. I had some exposed nerves from receding gums, which bothered me from time to time, but that has completely gone away. I also had some undetermined pain in one of my molars, which I thought perhaps was a previously-filled cavity that had lost a piece of filling, but since pulling it hasn't bothered me since. (Note: when I say bothered, I mean I couldn't chew on that side of my mouth and was extremely sensitive to temperature).
2. My teeth are silky smooth. I don't have any plaque build up–which is great when I'm too lazy for a thorough brushing.
3. My lips never need moisturizing as the oil does it for me!
4. My skin is better. When I first started pulling, I had a few breakouts then they all just went away. Now I only have the very occasional menstrual breakout–if even. The pulling brought out all the bad stuff and got rid of it.
5. All mouth sores, such as canker sores or bit lips, heal very quickly with pulling and offer relief from the pain until healed. As the pulling did with my skin, at first I had three breakouts of canker sores in my mouth for about three days, then they went away and I haven't had any since–again the pulling brought out the bad stuff and killed it.
Benefits I've Experienced from Adding Coconut Oil to my Daily Diet!
Coconut oil has been coined a superfood for a plethora of reasons. I stumbled upon this article: "Coconut Oil Coffee, Blended not stirred…the secret!" Now, I bet you're thinking, "Ew, oil in my coffee?" My husband still turns his nose up when he sees me add it to my coffee. In fact, people have been putting natural butter in their coffee as well–the Wellness Mama adds both!
Before I begin: I don't blend mine as I'm afraid of putting hot beverages in my blender, so I put mine in a tumbler then shake it fairly well, making it equally nice and frothy. Or, you can poor from one cup to another cup, back and forth repeatedly 4-5 times.
1. After a cup of coconut oil coffee, I definitely notice an increase in energy and a significant improvement in my mood! This is very important for me, because as an English as a Second Language phone tutor who teaches back-to-back classes for five to six hours, with approximately 15-20 students/classes as my full-time job with often no breaks for a snack or lunch, I need something to keep me upbeat and cheerful on the phone with my students.
2. As for the no break for a snack or lunch bit, another positive effect is that it suppresses appetite.
3. It tastes yummy! But if you're not a fan of flavoured coffee, it may take some getting used to!

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pie!
This is actually a super simple recipe–if you don't mind roasting your own pumpkin, that is. I opted for a graham cracker crust so I could have a gluten-free crust. It makes for a much richer pie!
1. 2 cups of gluten-free graham cracker crumbs (I like Schar Honeygrams™ Gluten Free, I buy them from Safeway, so they should be found at most grocery stores in the baking aisle. I didn't see crumbs though, so you'll have to process the crackers into crumbs.)
2. 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter
3. 1/3 cup brown sugar (organic cane sugar is good too!)
1.As you let the butter cool, you can process the graham crackers in a food processor or, I just use, a coffee grinder. It may stick to the sides in a paste, but just scrape it off and fluff it up in the bowl with the rest of the crumbs, you'll see it's still dry, it just compacted together as it's so finely ground. OR, you can crush and pound them with your hands while still in the packets.
2. Combine the butter, sugar and graham cracker crumbs together, mixing with a fork until a crumbly.
3. Pour onto (approx.) nine-inch pie plate. Use the bottom of a cup or glass, or large spoon, to press the mix over the bottom and up the sides of the plate.
4. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes. (Don't go over time!!)
Pie Filling
1. One half of a roasted pie pumpkin. You could use canned pumpkin (15 oz), but make sure it has one ingredient: pumpkin. Nothing is more rewarding, however, than roasting your own pumpkin! It's so fresh, healthy and delicious.
2. 3/4 cup of brown sugar (organic cane sugar is good too!)
3. 2 1/2 teaspoons of Pumpkin Pie Spice (OR 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground ginger, 1/4 ground cloves, 1/4 nutmeg)
4. 1/2 teaspoon salt
5. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
6. two eggs, beaten
7. 1 cup half and half (or 2% milk), soured with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. (no evaporated milk needed!)
1. Preheat oven to 425.
2. Peel the skin off your roasted pumpkin and plop half of it in a blender.
3. Before blending, add cream, eggs and vanilla. Blend until smooth.
4. Pour mixed ingredients into mixing bowl, and add sugar, salt and spices. Stir with rubber spatula.
5. Pour final mixture over pie crust slowly (you don't want it to overflow!), you can also use a big ladle for more control.
6. Bake for 15 minutes at 425, then reduce heat to 350, and back for another 40-50 minutes until knife or fork comes out clean (if it isn't quite clean, that's okay!).
7. Let chill in the open air for an hour or so before serving. Or, I like to refrigerate overnight. Serve with some vanilla ice cream! I like Haagen-Dazs's Vanilla Bean because they use the simplest ingredients.
Happy Thanksgiving! ~Namaste
Why I started jogging again!
It has been just over one year since I fractured my patella (kneecap). One year and roughly four months ago, actually. My kneecap is completely heeled and has been for a year, but my leg was still showing signs of atrophy and would sometimes buckle randomly. So, I thought, it's time, time for me to really get moving again.
I used to run, a lot. I began running in high school, continued to run in university, and even ran during my time living abroad in Korea. I practiced yoga and ran. I am starting to see, however, how much I took it for granted– how easy it was to slap on a pair of running shoes and trot my way out the door. Over the past year, since my injury, the thought of having to trot lightly across the street made me wince in pain.
Everyday, I surf in the morning and practice yoga at least five times a week in the afternoon. I also bicycle, but only to run errands (as I work from home). These activities have made me the fittest I've ever been in my life, but they aren't exactly the leg strengthening exercises I need. So, I began doing thigh strengthening exercises with an exercise ball in addition to jogging!
I started jogging again about two weeks ago. The first time I went, I began as though both knees–or leg muscles, rather–were perfectly capable of going for a run. Nope, was I ever wrong. It didn't take long for the pain to hit. I had started too hard, too fast. I ended up walking most of the five kilometers I'd set out to jog. I thought to myself, "Either, this is not going to be easy or it's going to be impossible to 'run' again."
Luckily, I took the "it's not going to be easy" route. Upon my second jog a day or two later, I ran double the length I did the first time. I decided to skip a day or two between jogs to allow my muscles and knee to recover and heal, and hopefully become stronger and ready for the second attempt–and, clearly, it worked!
Upon my third jog, a day or two later, I ran three fourths of the (approximate) five kilometers. I really surprised myself! On the fourth attempt, I ran the whole thing with a rest and stretch midway. The route is uphill halfway and downhill halfway. Going downhill with my sore knee was not something I'd think I'd be capable of this early on, so I'm very, very impressed with the improvement and recovery!!
Lesson learned: Rest is the KEY to getting better at any physical activity. If you are tired from a long day of surfing, hiking, swimming, bicycling, yoga, etc. maybe it's a good idea to take the day off tomorrow. I promise it's the best thing you can do for your body.
Lesson #2 learned: Never give up after an injury, your body is very resilient, it just takes time. ~Namaste~

A Human Pledge
Creeley's control over enjambment between lines and across stanzas often made for just such a poetry of quick surprise. Some of this derives from observations that are mundane and startling at once: a memory of spilling mustard on himself at a baseball game; a picture of a young man buying sanitary napkins, "Modess," for his lover; a woman who pees in a sink after making love. At other times, it's the imagery of the poem's language, as in "Morning," a three-line description of what sounds to me like a hangover:
Dam's broke,
head's a
The line breaks, word count, syllable count and stresses do a monumental amount of work in a minimal amount of space as they jam, fall and fuse.
In his conversation, and in many of his poems, Creeley had a habit of moving between the first-person "I" and the impersonal "one." A 1986 poem, "Massachusetts May," for instance, starts out "Month one was born in" and a few lines later shifts to the particular "sweet May of my boyhood." A number of the powerful short lyrics, written near the end of his life and published in his posthumous collection On Earth (2006), also rely on this contrast. Here's the title poem:
One's here
and there is still elsewhere
along some road to hell
where all is well--
or heaven
where all the saints still wait
and guard the golden gate.
That's all it takes for Creeley to write a "road not taken" poem--the extraordinary amount of resonance between here and there, between still, hell, all, well, all and still, between heaven and even, and between guard, golden and gate is both omnipresent and barely there, a visible and invisible architecture of letters and sounds. It is no disparagement of the work to consider to what extent the loss of an eye made Creeley a particular, even unique, poet--one who had to turn his head to scan the whole view, and so one for whom perception was always exaggeratedly temporal; one who could apprehend at once clarity and occlusion, and who was particularly aware of the sources and resonances of sound. His "one" was both universal and the unique quality of his I/eye.
Nevertheless, Creeley's speakers, and Creeley speaking, are almost always talking to a specific "you," a you often addressed by his or her proper name. There are poems like "The Rain" that involve an intimate and plaintive address to a lover, and there are many others that are in the genre of the lover's complaint--addressed to a third party, reader or voyeur:
My old lady is a goof at heart,
she tells me she loves me, we'll never part--
but what a goofed up chick will tell to a man
is best written in wind εt water εt sand.
These lines are from "Stomping with Catullus," and the use of typographical and diacritical marks and abbreviations throughout the early poems, constantly setting up a tension between the spoken aspect of language and its notation, is a practice borrowed from Pound and Zukofsky especially. Creeley never drops it--if anything he becomes more and more conscious of the subtle orchestration that punctuation, abbreviations, italics and other features of printing can give to the poem on the page.
At times, as in many of the erotic poems for his second wife, Bobbie Hawkins, Creeley's immediacy makes the language flatten to a form of "filler": "He/loves, his mind/is occupied, his//hands move/writing words/which come/into his head." But then "The Act of Love," from A Day Book (1972), like so many of his poems, begins to develop as a mind revising itself, questioning its desires and its relation to physical desire, until the speaker reaches the final paradoxical insight: "all these/senses do/commingle, so/that in your very/arms I still/can think of you." The poems of this period, from the onset of the 1960s into the mid-'70s, are remarkable for their depictions of erotic rage, anger, tension, shot nerves and suffering.
You did it,
and didn't want to,
and it was simple.
You were not involved,
even if your head was cut off,
or each finger
from its shape until it broke,
and you screamed too
with the other, in pleasure.
Even so, Creeley constantly shifts his tone. His often anthologized "Ballad of the Despairing Husband" is both comic and whatever is the opposite of self-congratulatory. Said husband's wife proclaims:
And I will wear what dresses I choose!
And I will dance, and what's to lose!
I'm free of you, you little prick,
and I'm the one to make it stick.
Some of the most complex and developed poems here are reflections and elegies dedicated to women relatives: his grandmother ("The Teachings"); his mother ("For My Mother: Genevieve Jules Creeley April 8, 1887-October 7,1972"; "Mother's Voice"); his Aunt Berenice ("I Love You"); the family housekeeper of his childhood ("Theresa's Friends"); his infant daughter Hannah ("H's"); his sister Helen ("Emptiness"). This last poem is an elegy assembled from images of an empty field with a barn in it--his sister's barn, then an account of his sister's possessions filling the barn, and then an account of her loss of such worldly goods, until describing the final loss of her person. It all happens swiftly, relentlessly, one line laid down after another, each full of emotion and yet truly emptied of mere sentiment. A late poem, "Pictures," for Penelope Highton, to whom Creeley was married for the last three decades of his life, is both a declaration of love and a kind of ubi sunt meditation that resolves to continue to hear, see and tell "all that lives in a forest,/all that surrounds me."

LE announces leadership program graduates
June 3, 2014
Leadership Eastside, the region's pre-eminent leadership enrichment program, has announced the graduation of the Leadership Eastside class of 2014.
This year's graduates join a powerful network of more than 1,500 of the region's leaders in business, nonprofits and the public sector who work together to address the community's greatest needs, according to a news release from Leadership Eastside.
Over the course of two years, members of the class of 2014 have deepened their understanding of the seven elements that make up a healthy community and have demonstrated their ability to effectively apply an adaptive leadership approach by successfully completing a series of sustainable community projects, including:
- Supporting the launch of a Bellevue Arts District.
- Developing a communitywide wellness effort for the city of Issaquah.
Council approves annual appointments to city boards and commissions
May 27, 2014
Last year's mayoral candidate Joe Forkner will go back to work for the city, joining 43 others appointed to various Issaquah governing bodies.
The City Council unanimously approved Mayor Fred Butler's recommendations to appoint or reappoint a host of residents to most of the city's 17 boards and commissions during its regular meeting April 21.
The annual appointments fill the vacancies expiring April 30. Most regular members serve four-year terms, while alternate members serve two-year terms.
Mayor states goals in first State of the City speech
February 25, 2014
Issaquah Mayor Fred Butler vowed to maintain momentum in his first State of the City speech.
Given during the Feb. 18 regular City Council meeting, the speech laid out what Butler hopes to achieve in the first year of his inaugural term.
"A community is made up of many elements," he said. "We are blessed with an outstanding school district, an active and professional chamber of commerce, students who are involved, first-class medical facilities and a City Council dedication to regional involvement."
UW students offer Issaquah ways to preserve identity
February 4, 2014
As Issaquah grows, a team of University of Washington students offered tips for how it can maintain its identity.
Aubri Denevan, Carrie Shepherd, Kim Lichttenegger and Yebin Zhou, members of a "Masters in Communications in Digital Media" program, were assigned the task of offering creative leadership to an area.
"At the beginning of the quarter, we were asked to give three problems we saw," Lichttenegger said, adding that the students had to then identify recommendations to solve them. As a six-year resident of Issaquah, she saw a real opportunity to examine recommendations for the city. "Because I live in the lowlands, I work in Seattle and I commute up to the highlands, I've had a daily snapshot of all the building progress."

2014 goals for a better Issaquah
The Issaquah Press presents its annual list of goals for the Issaquah area. A few are repeats from last year, still waiting to be accomplished but worthy of repeating.
February elections — The trio of school district levies, the Klahanie annexation decision and the repeal of the plastic bag ban are all up for a vote. The only good thing about the dismal turnout of voters in the November election is the easy assurance of getting enough voters to validate the school levy election. Let's hope Issaquah voters get back on track and return their ballots in higher numbers in 2014.
Central Issaquah Plan — The redevelopment plan is in place and developers now know how to maximize the use of their property. One project has already been proposed. It will be interesting to see what other plans come forward and whether the CIP is achieving its goals.
Economic Vitality Commission gives roadmap of recommendations
July 9, 2013
The Economic Vitality Commission gave the council its roadmap to committee recommendations during the June 25 Committee on the Whole meeting.
Created by the city to facilitate Economic Development Department, the commission has been tasked with evaluating different paths the department could take to increase the economic viability of Issaquah. It is staffed by volunteers from the business community, and has set out to add a perspective in the discussion of which direction the city should take as it continues to grow.
"We looked at where we wanted to take the city in the future and obstacles that would keep us from getting there," commission Chairman Karl Leigh said. "We need to understand what we are and we need to market what we want to be."
City seeks applicants for advisory boards, commissions

Shoppers deserve traffic solutions
There are two messy traffic jams that occur in Issaquah, primarily on busy weekend shopping days. With the arrival of the holiday shopping season, these locations will only get worse. While you may have others in mind, we think you'd agree these two are tops for driver annoyance.
Both spots are in the heart of shopping centers.
No. 1 honors go to the ingress/egress to Lake Sammamish Center near The Home Depot. The traffic signal and Interstate 90 Undercrossing help drivers move in and out of the area, but getting out of the parking lot from the south side is a lesson in frustration. Often the only option is to circle away from the exit and try again from a new angle. The only saving grace is that there are no pedestrians in the midst of this tangle of cars.
The intersection on Northwest Maple Street in the heart of the Issaquah Commons is the second-most hazardous traffic jam in town.

Are You Married to a Gold Digger?
Author Valerie Rind shares signs that you're being lied to and how to not become the victim of financial infidelity like she was.
Author Valerie Rind shares signs that you're being lied to and how to not become the victim of financial infidelity like she was.
Your wedding is one of the most special days of your life. It can also be one of the most expensive. Here are seven ways to make it only the former.
If you're married, deciding how to file your taxes -- jointly or separately -- may make a difference in how much you pay. Here's what to consider.
Money is wrapped up with emotions, such as fear, insecurity, envy and guilt. Resolving money issues can increase the trust and intimacy in a relationship.
When someone has your heart, you want to give them everything, including your hard-earned savings. Here are four signs you shouldn't.
Romantic relationships can be strained when you differ on spending. Here's how to understand and embrace frugality.
Here are 10 time-tested ways to build a solid financial future for your marriage. Your mentors -- you have some, right? -- will help you implement each one.
One man recounts the moment he realized he and his wife were drowning in debt, and how digging themselves out transformed their finances -- and their lives.
The death of a spouse is traumatic -- personally and financially. Here are eight critical financial steps that to take after the death of your life partner.
Nearly 6 percent of people in committed relationships conceal financial assets or debts from their partner, a new survey says. And that spells trouble.
Taxes may not be the most romantic part of married life, but they do change once you tie the knot.
Without college, millennial men are less likely to marry, leaving unstable family lives for the next generation.
Here you have it: 50 ways to date your lover, one for every week -- with two weeks left to create personalized cheap dates.
Imagine if you took that amount of money you're urged to spend on an engagement ring and used it to build a life for yourselves, together.
Single people are likely to come out ahead financially and could even net an additional $4,000 a year compared to those in relationships, a survey shows.
Money has ruined a fair share of marriages. How do you know if you're in the red or in the clear? Consider these signs.
My fear of sharing dates to cookies in my childhood and led me to insist on separate accounts when I got married. My mother's life confirmed my feeling.
Money shouldn't be the center of your relationship. But if your finances are in order, the rest of your marriage will work better.
