There are many reasons to visit London this Summer. You have flower shows, Ascot, Wimbledon, Glyndebourne Opera Festival the list is endless and you can experience this all with a twist on the great British traditional Afternoon Tea at the Amaranto terrace at the Four Seasons Hotel London, Park Lane. If you have not been to the hotel it is in the heart of Mayfair which every tourist or day out you should visit.
The updated afternoon tea aptly coined 'Journey through British Summertime' which takes you on a edible journey to all of the hot spots in London over the summer. When we arrived it was a glorious sunny day so we took advantage and sat outside in the beautiful terrace which I believe has just been updated and in the afternoon the sun streams in.
As this is not a typical afternoon tea, I started with a less ordinary drink, an Afternoon Tea cocktail which included one of my favourite cocktail ingredients, Passion Fruit. When it got served it was grand it came with the most perfect ROSE, which is a first not even the boyfriend buys me those, Amaranto was already winning over my heart without any food.
On the afternoon tea menu you receive the normal selection of traditional sandwiches with cucumber and cream cheese, smoked salmon with sweet English pea, crab, celery and apple, coronation chicken with creme fraiche then chicken ploughman's with cheddar and pickle. Moving on to my favourite part of afternoon tea is the scones with a mix of plain and raisins they were small but perfectly baked with a mixture of summer pudding jam (my favourite FYI), rhubarb jam and thick clotted cream.
You then journey through British Summertime with some divine pastries and cakes starting with a lemon and rose Battenberg cake and then a slice of lavender, apricot and bee pollen cake to represent The Chelsea Flower Show. Then if you still have space you move to Ascot Racecourse with a elegant roasted coffee bean cremeux, cocoa sable and hibiscus jelly inspired by the extravagant hats. Now I am not usually a coffee kinda gal but this is not overpowering, it just has a delicate touch which melts in the mouth. The next cake does not need much of an introduction as it resembles a tennis ball, HELLO Wimbledon. With a choux pastry, cherry compote and pistachio cremeux or enjoy strawberries and creme lady finger decorated in pink champagne pearls. You will be pretty full at this point but there is one last cake to celebrate the Glyndebourne Opera Festival with a Pimm's infused baba with Old royals Farms rhubarb and elderflower mousse...delicious!
After sipping a cocktail it was a swing up between some Veuve Clicquot or some tea and like a good girl I went for a herbal infusion of blackcurrant and hibiscus and it was the perfect way to end a lovely and full afternoon.
The Journey Through British Summertime Afternoon Tea can be purchased between 3pm - 6pm daily at the Amaranto Lounge, Four Seasons, Park Lane from £42.

There are many reasons women choose breast surgery—a desire to enhance breasts that are too small, reduce breasts that are cumbersome, lift breasts that have lost volume after pregnancy, or achieve post-cancer treatment reconstruction. When performed by an experience cosmetic surgeon, natural results can be achieved.
Breast Augmentation (Augmentation Mammaplasty)
There has never been an exercise, machine, or medication which has had any appreciable effect on the size of the breast. There is only one way to increase the breast size, and that is by augmentation with an implant.
Learn More
If you have small, underdeveloped breasts, one breast that is noticeably smaller than the other, or breasts that have lost volume after childbearing or weight loss, you might want to consider breast augmentation. Performed as an outpatient procedure, a small incision is made underneath the breast, so scarring is minimal and unnoticeable. You can expect full recovery in 4-6 weeks.
Passmore Plastic Surgery utilizes the Mentor® Volume Sizing System to take the guesswork out of determining a breast size that is pleasing to you. The System allows you to try on a variety of volume sizing devices to enable you to make a confident choice. In the privacy of Dr. Passmore's office, you can get a preview of your desired look.
Breast augmentation has been the choice of millions of women. It is a personal decision, one that should be made by a well-informed woman.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Over the years, age and gravity will take their toll on the shape and fullness of the female breast. Frequent pregnancies, breast feeding, and weight fluctuations can also cause breasts to flatten and sag.
Learn More
This can be corrected by breast lift surgery. An outpatient procedure, breast lift corrects sagging breasts and enlarged nipple areolar complexes (the pigmented areas around the nipples). The design of the incisions varies according to several factors including the size and shape of the breasts and the degree of correction that is necessary (in other words, the amount of sagging). Healing is a gradual process, but most women return to work after one week and resume normal activities after one month.
Gravity and the aging process cannot be controlled, but their effects can be reversed. It is important to note that, while this procedure is very effective, a breast lift will not keep you firm forever. Many women consider breast implants after the breast lift has completely healed.

Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammaplasty)
Oversized breasts can cause problems, both physically and mentally. Large breasts often dominate a woman's appearance attracting unwelcome attention. The excessive weight can cause pain in the shoulders, back, and neck. Breast exams are more difficult and physical activities, including sports, are uncomfortable or even impossible. Breasts that are disproportionate with the rest of the body often limit clothes options when searching for the right fit.
Learn More
Breast reduction surgery is an outpatient procedure. Incisions are made around the nipple, then extended vertically below and in the fold underneath the breast (a "T" incision). You can expect to go back to work in 2 weeks, depending on the type of work you do, with full recovery in 4 weeks.
The choice of breast reduction surgery is most often made to relieve physical discomfort. However, your sense of attractiveness and self-confidence will also receive a boost. Breast reduction surgery is a life-changing decision… for the better.

Breast Reconstruction
When a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer, she often faces many choices. When one of those choices includes a mastectomy, she then has another question to answer: Should she also consider breast reconstruction? Breast reconstruction can dramatically improve physical appearance, emotional recovery from cancer, and sexual confidence.
Learn More
Breast reconstruction surgery techniques vary. It can be performed using implants or the woman's own body tissue, or a combination of both. Several factors are considered when determining the option that is right for the individual woman: the type of mastectomy that was performed, the stage of the cancer when it was discovered, and the type of post-surgical treatment (i.e. chemo and/or radiation therapy), the overall general health of the woman considering breast reconstruction, and her desired outcome.
Breast reconstruction is a personal decision that only the woman herself can make and should be made only after gathering facts from a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon who will customize the surgery to the woman's particular needs.

Baton drawn after man 'took umbrage'
A defendant took exception when gardai suggested a motorbike in his possession was stolen, last week's sitting of Portlaoise District Court heard.
Paul O'Shea, aged 28, of 37 Oakleaf Place, Portlaoise was before the court charged with threatening/abusive/insulting behaviour at Knockmay, Portlaoise on August 14 last.
Prosecution evidence outlined that when a garda raised the matter with the defendant, he threatened the garda, who had to draw his baton to defend himself.
Defence solicitor Josephine Fitzpatrick said gardai had initially accused the defendant of stealing the motorbike and driving without insurance.
"He took umbrage to the claim that it was stolen by him," she said.
"The motorbike was stolen but he is not charged in connection with that," Ms Fitzpatrick pointed out.
She added that the defendant had other matters due before the court at a later date.
Judge Catherine Staines imposed a fine of €100 on the defendant.

Corporate Titles and Organization Charts
Corporate Titles and Organization Charts
Many Business English students ask about titles. For example: What's the difference between a Senior Manager and a Vice-President? Where do General Mangers do exactly? How do companies use titles differently? Trying to translate titles between English and another language can be quite tricky.
But a lesson on the topic can easily solve the problems. Here are several resources you can use and then some follow-up questions.
For starters… Wikipedia's article on corporate titles is a good place to start. You'll find a list of over 70 titles and descriptions of what the people do.
Check out some org charts… You can find links to thousands of org charts on the internet. Just do a search for "org charts" or "organization charts". Here are a few links, anyway. Look at them with your students and discuss how they are similar or different to each other. Also, which titles do you see?
How about a joke? Follow this link for a funny cartoon. Ask your students why it's funny?
And an article to read… Finally, about.com has a nice article about org charts. It briefly talks about charts, titles, and the purposes behind them. You can use it as a starting point for a discussion.
Here are some discussion questions you might ask your students:
- What's the purpose of an organization chart?
- Do small companies need organization charts too?
- At what size does a company probably need a chart?
- How might a manager use a chart to increase productivity?
- How might an unclear chart hurt productivity?
- Which titles do all org charts need? Which titles are specific to certain companies?
- What's your dream title? Why?

The question goes back to the Greeks: What kind of shit should you put onstage? If you're Adam Rapp, the answer is: all kinds of shit. Including literal shit. His characteristically grungy-punky-funky Hallway Trilogy (which I'll review at greater length later this week, in the roundup) features not just murder, suicide, and diseased sex, but also pants crapping (with extended, in-your-face cleanup), onstage urination, boil-lancing, testicle-twiddling, and liberal blood spray. Sounds like a Long Island Craigslist ad come to life, right? Shit is real, yo.
So that's how I spent last weekend, knee-deep in less-than-sterile theatrical biomass. Yet this week brought this missive from producer Ken Davenport, lamenting theater's lack of stomach, its perceived inability to match the outré qualities of our culture, spurt for spurt. Davenport cites everything from ancient Lewinsky history to GOP congressman Christopher Lee's shirtless personal-ad photo. "My question is this … since dramatic events have become much more apart of our everyday lives, does the drama we create have to become even more dramatic?" he ponders. "Do the events we show on stage have to be even more shocking? Do the characters have to be even more extreme? Is that one of the reasons why God of Carnage was a hit, but the [Neil] Simon plays failed to take off?"
I'm not entirely sure how Ken is defining "dramatic events," and I'm guessing he missed Gruesome Playground Injuries. And Blasted. (And Bash. And the whole bloodied corpus of Martin McDonagh. And, to dial back our theater TARDIS a few years, David Rabe and David Mamet. And before them, Harold Pinter and Jean Genet and Edward Albee. And, before them, Sophocles and Aeschylus.) But in pointedly neglecting to separate sensationalism and shock-schlock from "drama," he may be intuiting a deeper truth about how theater is perceived: On Broadway, especially, we do seem to see a great many contemporary plays set in well-appointed upper-middle-class homes, featuring fairly well-to-do folks nursing some dark secret that, in the end, turns out to be not all that terribly dark. It's irrelevant that many of these plays — Time Stands Still and Other Desert Cities come to mind — are quite well done. They're not constituted around the idea of savagery; they begin from a baseline expectation of civilization. These are generally dramas where wine is drunk and voices are raised, where secrets are revealed and wounds are probed — but the evening generally ends on a note of ambiguity and unease, with possibilities for both redemption and destruction hanging suspended in midair. The iceman never quite comes.
This, I think, is what Mr. Davenport is sensing — though I'm not sure it would help if characters in plays acted more like Real Housewives or philandering congressmen. I think the bigger problem is that Real Housewives and congressmen now act a lot more like characters in (bad) plays. Actual people seem to have internalized the very dregs of "drama" while filtering out the psychological richness, the dark complexities, the insoluble and distressing antinomies of great storytelling. I think what audiences crave in live performance is palpable consequences, in moral and dramatic proportion to the unique and immediate thrill of being shut in a dark theater with live actors.
That's where we live now: in an age suspended between the sins of the past and the impending consequences of the very near future. We all feel we "came in at the end of something," as Tony laments in The Sopranos' pilot episode, and we're still waiting for the curtain to drop, and maybe rise again on something else, something better — or at least something clearer. A week or so ago, a friend sent me an old Clive James review of a 1976 TV production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof: "I can remember being young enough, long enough ago, to believe that in Tennessee Williams the giant themes of Greek tragedy had returned, all hung about with magnolias. Ignorance of Greek tragedy helped in this view. This was the 1950s, when a lot of intentions were being taken for deeds." Decades after that postwar American high faded, and with it the primacy of American theater, our culture finds itself frustratingly short on deeds and intentions. Onstage, this often adds up to sips of Valpolicella, long banter-laced arguments on mid-century-throwback couches and the occasional smashed scotch-tumbler when talk turns to the social contract (and/or some marital metaphor for same).
But take heart, because our greatest mainstream shock artists are trying their best to change that. I'll be very interested to see what kind of moral forces underpin The Book of Mormon, which, its irreverent-yet-reverent creators insist, is a heartfelt work with something lucid and unsarcastic to say on the subject of faith. Can't wait to see what that "something" is … even if it's a giant, talking clitoris. Hell, especially if it's a giant, talking clitoris. We can still put serious shit onstage, even if we may have become a less serious people.

Applications of Analytical Chemistry
Analytical chemistry has applications including in forensic science, bioanalysis, clinical analysis, environmental analysis, and materials analysis. Analytical chemistry research is largely driven by performance (sensitivity, detection limit, selectivity, robustness, dynamic range, linear range, accuracy, precision, and speed), and cost (purchase, operation, training, time, and space). Among the main branches of contemporary analytical atomic spectrometry, the most widespread and universal are optical and mass spectrometry. In the direct elemental analysis of solid samples, the new leaders are laser-induced breakdown and laser ablation mass spectrometry, and the related techniques with transfer of the laser ablation products into inductively coupled plasma. Advances in design of diode lasers and optical parametric oscillators promote developments in fluorescence and ionization spectrometry and also in absorption techniques where uses of optical cavities for increased effective absorption pathlength are expected to expand. The use of plasma- and laser-based methods is increasing. An interest towards absolute (standardless) analysis has revived, particularly in emission spectrometry.

Raytheon (NYSE:RTN) has completed a successful series of flights for control test vehicles (CTV) in the Accelerated Improved Intercept Initiative, aka AI3, the company announced this week.
The AI3 goal is to destroy a wider variety of artillery, rockets, and other types of weaponry, in order to protect warfighters.
The company's most recent test flight consisted of the Ku-Band Radio Frequency System (KRFS) detecting a would-be threat, calculating the impact on a protected area, and guiding an AI3 missile through datalink. The missile successfully intercepted the incoming rocket, according to Raytheon.
Representatives from both Raytheon and the U.S. Army have spoken favorably about the recent tests. Steve Bennett, Raytheon's director of the AI3 program, believes the tests' success mean "the AI3 program remains on schedule." The Army's AI3 project manager, Lt. Col. Brett Wilhide, said the project is now ready to "progress to the guided test vehicle flight test phase of the program. Those tests will demonstrate the full integration of the tactical AI3 battle element system to intercept threat targets."
Raytheon announced in March 2012 that the Army had awarded it a $79.2 million contract to develop a system to detect and destroy incoming rockets: the Accelerated Improved Intercept Initiative to include an interceptor developed by Raytheon and a government-furnished launcher, fire control system, and command and control system.
The next set of tests will include an onboard semiactive radar seeker, which will perform terminal guidance to intercept its targets.

Police seek expert opinion in Sunanda Pushkar's death
New Delhi: Yet to make a breakthrough in the case of Sunanda Pushkar, wife of Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, Delhi Police has asked a high-level medical board to give clarifications on different findings and opinions given by forensic labs and the autopsy reports of AIIMS and the FBI to ascertain the cause of her mysterious death.
In a status report placed in the Delhi High Court on Saturday, police also plan to send the mobile phones seized during investigation to the manufacturers abroad for chip level retrieval of information, which was deleted, since Indian labs have shown inability to recover them.
The report said the investigation was in an advanced stage and a second meeting of the medical board constituted by Director General of Health Services along with Central Forensic Science Lab (CFSL) and Forensic Science Lab (FSL) experts was expected to be convened soon. Information provided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) will be discussed.
Pushkar was found dead in a five-star hotel in south Delhi on January 17, 2014. It remains a mystery how she died.
Police said that on February 25, 2015 a total of 25 exhibits including mobile phones, hard disk, laptop, pen drives of various people including close friends of Tharoor and Pushkar were sent to the CFSL in the CBI.
"There result is yet to be received. Request to expedite the same is being regularly made through visits, reminders and letters," the report said.
A request has been made to the DGHS medical board to convene a second meeting to give clarifications "upon the different findings of CFSL and FSL, different opinions given by autopsy board of AIIMS and reports received from the FBI, and to further ascertain the cause of death".
The report recalled that the first postmortem report of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) of Janury 20, 2014 said the cause of death was "poisoning, the circumstantial evidence was suggestive Alprazolam poisoning".
A total of 15 injuries including teeth bite and injection prick marks were found.
In the second opinion on August 20, 2014, the autopsy board of the AIIMS said the cause of death was opined as poisoning.
"In the last page of this report, the AIIMS autopsy board made a mention of those portions which are beyond detection in Indian forensic labs owing to technological constraints: Thallium, Polonium-210, Nerium Oleander, snake bites, etc.
"It was also suggested that the bed sheet, pillow covers, etc used by the deceased prior to her death be also subjected to forensic analysis," the report said.
On December 29, 2014, the third opinion of the autopsy board was received in which it said Pushkar was neither ill nor having any disease prior to her death.
"She was a normal healthy individual and her death due to natural cause was ruled out. The cause of death was reiterated as poisoning and that it was opined that poisoning is through oral route. However, injectable route also cannot be ruled out."
On the basis of the third opinion of the autopsy board, a case was registered under IPC provisions of murder after registration of an FIR. A Special Investigation Team was formed to probe the case.
Immediately after the receipt of the second opinion of the AIIMS board, mutual legal assistance treaty proceedings were initiated for sending the viscera remnants to an FBI lab in US for examination.
On September 23, 2015, a FBI report regarding chemical analysis of viscera was received. It mentioned that Alprazolam and Hydroxy Chroloquine were detected in viscera organs, whereas Nicotine, Cotinine, Alprazolam, Lidocaine and Hydroxy Choloroquine were detected on the clothing of the deceased. Further, Nicotine, Cotinine, Alprazolam and Lidocaine were detected on the bed cover and the bed sheet.
The report said the FBI report on November 6, 2015 stated that the levels of possible contamination were found less than the values specified in the International Air Transport Association's Dangerous Goods Regulations.
On November 16, 2015, Shiv Menon, son of Pushkar, sent an email to Delhi Police Commissioner seeking an independent medical board for providing definite opinion regarding his mother's death.
After police sought the fourth opinion of AIIMS autopsy board on the basis of the FBI reports, the autopsy board unanimously concluded the cause of death as poisoning by excessive ingestion of tablet Alprozolam.
"The board, however, did not rule out the possibility of (1) any injectable poison in view of injury number 10 (prick mark), (2) death because of Lidocaine (which found mention in the FBI report) and/or (3) insulin/any other hypo-glycaemic agent regarding which a suggestion was made to investigate whether any person in the vicinity of the deceased was in its possession," the status report said.

If sightseeing with an umbrella isn't your cup of tea, how about shopping along one of the covered shopping arcades? Shopping streets such as Shijo, Nishiki, Teramachi each have their own personality and reveal a different face of this ancient city.
(About 4 hours)
Shijo Street runs through the famous Gion entertainment district. You'll be sure to find plenty of geisha houses and other traditional shops. Explore stores offering macha (bitter green tea) sweets, traditional confectionary, and kimono accessories all concentrated on the one street that truly captures the essence of Kyoto. On the Eastern end of Shijo Street lies Yasaka jinja Shrine, the face of Gion. The arcade continues from Keihan Shijo Station to the western gate of Yasaka jinja Shrine.
Ever since the Azuchi-Momoyama Period (1558-1600), this area has served as the kitchen of Kyoto. During the early morning hours, the lines of shops open their eager doors to sell Kyo-Yasai, tofu, fish, and all sorts of fresh food items. A virtual treasure trove for strolling and eating, you'll find everything from fresh fish and vegetables to soy milk doughnuts here, all of the highest quality.
This shopping arcade is chock full of variety, from clothing shops for teenagers, to used books, to ukiyo-e (Edo-period drawings). Many stores specializing in locally produced wares contain unique items like Samurai wigs. The northern section of Sanjo Street is lined with cafes and more traditional shops selling items like tea and Japanese paper.
This temple is situated at the northern end of the Teramachi arcade and is famous for being the site where, during the Warring States period (1467 to 1568), military commander Oda Nobunaga went forth to meet his death

Professional pasture, field, grass and paddock maintenance services for equine properties, small holdings and large commercial areas.
Agricultural, Paddock Maintenance, Estate Management and Fencing Services
As agricultural contractors, we offer a wide variety of professional pasture, field, grass, fencing and paddock maintenance services for agricultural, equine properties, estates and small holdings.
We pride ourselves on our highly professional maintenance services and our customer care. We have many happy and satisfied customers across Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Cambridgeshire. Please look at or testimonials page for more information
Over seeding is an efficient way of putting life back into tired grassed areas saving the need to completely turn the soil over and start from fresh putting pasture out of action.
Keeping weeds at bay by spraying herbicides is important. We are fully qualified to apply all types of herbicide and are fully insured.
As part of our paddock maintenance services we offer paddock topping. We use a variety of mowers depending on the requirements. Topping, flail mowing and finishing mowing are the most popular.
Fertiliser spreading is normally carried out in the spring to help start the grass growing. We use Suregrow for all equine paddocks and a variety of other fertilisers for other livestock areas.
Often over looked but very important. Soil aeration helps relieve compaction, increases root development and helps drainage.
Spring tine harrows are used to remove thatch, weeds and debris from pasture as well as levelling poached areas.
Rolling grassed areas helps removes hoof marks, flatten out uneven areas and thicken the sward. This is usually carried out in the spring before the ground completely dries out.
Hedge cutting is carried out by a side arm flail mower but out of control high hedges are usually cut manually.
Stock fencing is an important part of animal welfare and can be installed on most areas. Post and rail fencing is attractive and suits many equine properties.

Wholesome Road is a personal blog documenting a journey of living one big wholesome life.
The content on Wholesome Road encompasses it all – inside and out, head to toe, mind and body, soul and divine.
We like exploring things in life that make us feel fulfilled and nourished. That's what living a Wholesome Road is all about.
Wholesome Road's blog posts include information ranging from nutrition and exercise, to discussions about spirituality and meditation.
The Sections of Wholesome Road
First, we have the Live section, where you will find some of the handy hints and tips that I have come across in my quest to improve my headspace, and overall way of living.
Next up we have the Move section where you will find a whole bunch of posts related to health and fitness.
The Eat section encompasses food habits, and lots and lots of tasty, nutritious recipes.
The Book section is where you will (surprisingly) find books I've reviewed that have added value to my life and which I highly recommend reading.
The Events section is where I've shared Melbourne and Australian based events which have lightened my soul.
Wholesome Living
Wholesome Road is the place I've created to share the things in life that make my mind, body and soul feel wholesome. I'm dedicated to living a fulfilling life while spreading love, appreciation and joy every day. Wholesome Road is an outlet for me to arrange and share all of the knowledge, tools and actions I use to improve my way of life.
Information that has benefit is essential for progress, and sharing that information is even more important.
We all have to deal with tough situations in life. Having a clear mind enables you to approach any tricky situation with your best foot forward and your head held high. Ensuring that your body and mind are in optimal condition, will boost your ability to adapt to any situation, and help you to face the world with your shoulders straight and strong. Wholesome Road strives to share information with readers which helps to make those tricky situations less sticky.
The Lovely Lady Behind Wholesome Road
Wholesome Road was created and is managed by a young woman living in Melbourne. I'm using this blog to document my journey of living a wholesome life and to connect with others who are on similar journeys.
I'm a normal person striving to live an outstanding life. And I know there are others out there!
I am aware that I don't know everything but I'm dedicated to learning all that I can. I've created Wholesome Road in the hope that I can connect with some like-minded people and share some enlightening discussions.
I consume knowledge every day as I know there is the information, people and activities out there to ensure we all live a big life that utilises our potential. I love to hear about what other people do in their own lives to help themselves, and their loved ones, to live wholesomely.
Note: I'm not qualified to offer advice on nutrition, exercise, or life in general. I am just another avid learner who devours what information I can, then wants to share the good bits.
I am the first to admit that I do not know everything. Although I'm not an expert in many subjects, I've collected information which has improved my life and I'm wanting to reflect on, share and discuss ideas that can improve lives.
Book & Product Reviews
I believe in everything that I write on Wholesome Road. If I'm endorsing something for a third party, you'll be made aware of that.
All of the books, products and activities I mention and recommend have had positive effects on my life. Perhaps they will add something positive to yours too?
I'd love to discuss ideas with people who have anything to contribute to a topic (which is everyone). So if you have an amazing book or product to recommend, please, do let me know about it!
Guest Posts
Currently all posts are created by this one young lass in Melbourne. However, Wholesome Road is open too accepting guest posts from other writers who will be credited accordingly. My ideas, posts and pictures are also available to be reposted on other blogs – with permission.
If you see something that tickles your fancy, feel free to visit the contact me page and get in touch!
Wholesome Events in Melbourne & Australia
Wholesome Road is based in Melbourne, Australia. I regularly attend events which link to wholesome living. If you are hosting, or know of a wholesome event coming up, I'd love for you to let me know about it. I strive to regularly step outside of my comfort zone to investigate topics and events which could be of benefit. I could come along and review the event for the blog.
All feedback is welcomed. Feel free to comment on any of the posts or contact me via email and say hello 🙂
- What does living wholesomely mean to you?
- What do you like to do to make yourself feel good (that is good for you)?
- Do you think there is something missing from Wholesome Road or do you have something to recommend?

We don't want to give you the impression that Held2gether improv performers are insane, but I'm still stuck on the soccer mom thing (we even named an upcoming show Confessions of a Soccer Mom), especially as it relates to swearing and, um, prostitution.
I blame Lisa, who said our show at Hot Java on Saturday was fantastic but could've used some more swearing. And that there's something inherently funny in seeing one of my calm, sedate characters throwing out a "well-placed f-bomb."
Anyway. For those of you who haven't seen me, I'm the blonde girl in our NoH8 photo. Just for reference. Also, I have no children and am not a fan of soccer. However, there is evidently something about the way I look that makes people giggle when I say bad words. At Groundlings, I started out working on a "nice" character since my go-to character is rather bitchy. Clearly it worked, because after a few weeks when I finally reverted to my usual bitch character, everyone was totally shocked that I even knew the f-word and they all fell about the place laughing so hard.
And in Held2gether Level 2 class last week, we did this labeling exercise where one person gives the other all these character traits. Naturally, Barney described me as a hooker. In the past, I've also been labeled a pole dancer. Just the labels crack everyone else up, because they seem so against-type. "Ooooh, I know! Let's have the soccer-mom-looking-woman play a hooker! Hahahahaha!" Once someone asked me if I could "stand like you're stupid." Really? Do less intelligent people stand differently than smart people? And, um, what makes you think I fall into the smart category any more than I fall into the soccer mom category?
I think what I'm getting at here is that, however you see yourself, there's a good chance others see you differently. And if you can play with both of those images and have fun with the stereotypes, you can start to see yourself in a new light and push out of some of those boxes that we all put ourselves in. And there's no better way to push yourself (safely and gently, of course) out of your comfort zone than by taking an improv class right here in Long Beach! (No, I'm not suggesting you actually become a hooker. Sheesh. Try pole dancing first and see how you like it, then think about expanding your horizons. There's no need to rush.)

Today is one of those really annoying days that makes me want to swear inappropriately (seriously, I know I look like a soccer mom, but in my normal life I swear like a friggin' sailor. I actually tone it down for you guys. A lot). Anyway, whatever the opposite of creative is, that's what I am today. No problem, except that I get paid for being creative, not for being the opposite of creative.
Why is this our problem, you ask, and when is this post going to get funny? Excellent questions. When you learn the answers, can you let me know?
Okay, okay. See, sometimes you just don't feel funny. Maybe you're tired. Maybe you're hungover, or sick, or maybe Mercury is friggin' retrograde again. Who knows. It's just that some days you really don't feel "on." Sucks if you're a writer or a graphic designer (sorry, it's all about me today). But luckily, if you're an improv-er, you're not all alone. Maybe you don't feel funny – but there's a good chance the whole class doesn't feel the same way at the same time. So you just remember the rules, agree with whatever your funny partner has to say and try to add information. That's the beauty of improv – it's a team sport, and your partners are more than happy to help you out on days when you are the opposite of funny.
The other thing about improv is, you learn that everything can change in a moment. You might be the opposite of funny for half a scene, and then something clicks and you're on again. It's like that in life too. Just deciding you're going to do the best you can with what you have at any moment can give you the impetus to keep going until you find your mojo again. So try a Held2gether improv class – we'll help you get through the days when you are the opposite of whatever you're supposed to be, and we really don't care how much you swear.

There's an old Vietnamese saying that a family who sh*ts together, sticks together. Yes, it's true. We have a Vietnamese troupe member who SWEARS on its cultural authenticity. He told us so in between slurping down a bowl of Pho and wolfing down a spring roll.
Okay, maybe his recollection of the adage is a little off. After all, he's only kinda Vietnamese. He's also part Nebraskan, too, which caused him some serious identity issues during his formative years.
But he was definitely on to something. And like good improv classmates, we're gonna "yes, and" his seeming-lunacy. For the sake of not making our reading audience ill, we'll move away from the literalness of his sentiment and just focus on the metaphor. What he probably meant is that double-blind studies consistently demonstrate a near-perfect correlation between familial structures that regularly employ positive group dynamics and their high degree of cohesiveness relative to the general populous. Um, what? More simply put, learn to encourage each other during the rough patches and you'll have a team that will enjoy success together over the long haul.
It's really pretty basic – just watch a kids' soccer game and you'll know what we're talking about. See the team where the players are encouraging the goalie, even though he just let yet another one sail past him? Sure, everyone, especially the goalie, is disappointed. And the coach certainly will have some feedback for him. But they're still encouraging him – giving him high fives. Mark our words – that's a team that's going to make it to the finals. Maybe not this season, maybe not the next. But they will make it. And it's because they're familiar with the time-honored Vietnamese proverb.
At Held2gether classes, we're just like the little soccer team that could. We love our stellar moments – when everyone has an award-winning class. But when you hit a rough patch, we'll always be there to support and encourage you. Yes, you read that correctly. Even if your scene totally sucked, we'll clap for you. Why? Because we want you to live a delusional life – it's a much happier place than reality.
Okay, not really. While we wish that everything could always go well, you will undoubtedly have scenes that totally flop. Trust me, I have scenes that totally flop on a regular basis. The scenes will be void of any humor and will have violated every rule of improv. In other circles, you'd be castigated for your insolence. But at Held2gether, we'll still clap. Sure, you'll get feedback that may be a little difficult to digest. You'll get pointers on how to get it right in the future. Even though you know the feedback is given with lots of love, it's a bit hard for you to hear. And as you prepare to sulk back to your seat, you'll hear applause.
That's us, and we're clapping for you. Some of us are clapping because, like a cymbal playing monkey, it is an automatic reflex. Most of us, though, are clapping because we are proud that you had the courage to risk getting up on that stage. We're clapping because we're happy you've learned something and will improve from the feedback. Most of all, we're clapping because we care about you and want to encourage you to get back on your horse. Yeah you!
And that's why the Held2gether family sticks together – because we've learned to authentically encourage one another during the rough patches. So join the Held2gether family for a workshop or class and feel the love and encouragement.
Now, if you see a little Asian guy at Pho 97, Pho 98 or Pho 99, will you please tell him he's late for rehearsal?

Congress enacted the Magnuson Stevens Act more than 30 years ago and last amended it in 2006. The bill put an end to foreign fishermen legally harvesting seafood in American waters and stabilized many fisheries by enforcing catch limits.
No member of the House Natural Resources Committee present this morning indicated they'd let the program expire. And everyone who testified said it should be continued, though with some changes.
Commercial fishermen and industry representatives complained about the requirement to have human observers on vessels … recording the size of the catch and by-catch.
"If they were allowed to use less high tech methods, and cheaper methods, they would be allowed to survive," said Bob Dooley.
Dooley's company, United Catcher Boats, fishes the west coast and throughout Alaska. He told the committee a captain is responsible for covering the cost of an observer, and it's prohibitively expensive.
"It's north of $900 a day, approaching $1,000, for the government to provide an observer," he said.
That number could neither be verified nor applied to the various fisheries in the state. It took many by surprise, including NOAA's Sam Rauch.
After the hearing, he said NOAA is concerned about the cost of observers, and is interested in pursuing cameras in their place.
"A technological issue: What can the cameras tell you now? They're very good at showing discard events. Did somebody throw something overboard? They're not yet to the point where they could identify individual fish," he said.
On top of that, NOAA would have to adapt regulatory requirements to include the cameras.
Representative Don Young, an original author of the Magnuson Stevens Act, said the observer program wasn't included in the original authorization.
"It was put in there for NOAA to make decisions on the quota," he said. "And I'm saying let's go beyond the muleskinner and get into the computer age."
Young said he's considering writing a provision into the reauthorization that would allow commercial fisherman to use newer technologies to monitor the catch.
"An observer is probably the worst thing that can happen to the sustainable yield rationalization," he joked. "An observer is human. He can be corrupted. He can be put into the trawl net, to solve some problems. He could be a drunk."
The act will expire September 30th, leaving Congress plenty of time to debate the measure.

Stood Up By El Niño, State Awaits More Hurricanes
The weather phenomenon was expected to suppress the hurricane season somewhat. But Sun-Sentinel hurricane guy Ken Kaye reports there's no sign of El Niño yet and forecasters are starting to worry.
El Niño was supposed to rip storms apart and put a damper on the hurricane season, but it appears to be a no-show. As a result, there could be two or three more storms on top of an already bustling year. It leaves Florida more vulnerable, because October storms tend to form nearby in the Caribbean or western Atlantic. "At this point, there is quite a bit of uncertainty as to whether an El Niño will even develop," said climatologist Phil Klotzbach. "If it does, it will probably be too late to impact the end of the season."

DOTD looking at improving LA 30
ASCENSION PARISH- The Department of Transportation and Development is looking to improve traffic along LA 30.
Traffic is currently so bad, that drivers take alternative routes to avoid it.
"It's a straight shot from my area to come to work this way. But I avoid it and I actually make so many zig zag turns, just to avoid the traffic," Tammy Newsome, driver of LA 30, said.
The state is looking at new alternatives such as adding a roundabout or j-turns to cut down on traffic and accidents.
DOTD wants to improve the road from Ashland Road to South Burnside Avenue by the Tanger Outlet Mall.
Ideas also include a raised median and left turning lanes.
Driver Raymond Allen said that he lives on LA 30 and thinks any improvements would help.
"This is a story that hits home everytime, everytime someone has a wreck out here I come out and look at it and its another story of if we had something in place in the infrastructure, we wouldn't of had this," Allen said.
The project is currently in the first phase. DOTD is asking for public opinion and upon review of the comments, will move to the environmental phase.
The final examples of alternatives for the road will be presented at a meeting held on Tuesday at the Gonzales Civic Center from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
