The slugs are attacking my columbine, but they haven't yet found this:
I had forgotten how delicious fresh baby lettuce is. Lucia is normally not a fan of leafy greens unless they're blended into smoothies, but even she is kvelling. We had a few leaves on our way to the car, and she said, "I'm SO hungry." I got the hint, but said she could have more lettuce when she came home from school. We both understand why Peter Rabbit got carried away in Mr. MacGregor's garden.

Army budget: Fewer dollars, fewer ready units
By CHRIS CARROLL | STARS AND STRIPES Published: March 4, 2014
WASHINGTON — Army officials rolled out budget plans aimed at ensuring the Army could still fight and win land wars despite coming years of falling budgets and declining force structure.
"This budget begins to implement the emerging postwar strategy which decreases funding as the Army begins to draw down," Maj. Gen. Karen Dyson, Army budget director, told reporters at the Pentagon.
Because funding is declining faster than a drawdown can happen, the Army is being forced to select some units for full readiness while other are allowed to fall to lower levels, she said.
The baseline Army budget request for 2015 of $121 billion continues a downward trend after topping out at $144 billion in 2010, when the fighting in Afghanistan was at its fiercest after President Barack Obama's troop surge.
The Army on Tuesday did not specify a request to cover overseas contingency funds for warfighting, which added $43 billion on top of 2014's $125 billion base. Defense officials say that until there is clarity on the U.S. military's future mission in Afghanistan, no substantive OCO request can be made.
Army end strength will also fall. The current 520,000-troops active duty force — down from a high of about 570,000 during the Iraq war — is larger than needed to implement national defense strategy and too big to modernize with current defense spending, Pentagon officials say.
The Army will drop to 490,000 active duty troops in 2015, and Defense Department officials plan to shrink it to between 440,000 and 450,000 troops by 2017. If, however, Congress fails to defuse automatic sequestration budget cuts, the Army would fall to 420,000, officials say. The Army National Guard and Reserve will in 2015 lose 4,000 and 3,000 troops, respectively, with further cuts planned in later years.
To save money, the Army plans to restructure its aviation forces, getting rid of 898 helicopters and eliminating three active duty brigades by 2019, officials said. The Army also will kill the ground combat vehicle, which is unaffordable in the new budget environment.
Meanwhile, overall spending on aircraft would grow in 2015 to $5.1 billion from $4.8 billion this year, including plans to acquire 79 new Blackhawk helicopters and plans to refit dozens of Chinook cargo helicopters and Apache attack helicopters.
The service also plans to spend over $160 million for enhanced night vision devices for SOF and global response forces, $420 million for new Patriot missiles, and $1.8 billion to modernize and upgrade ground vehicles including Bradley fighting vehicles and Abrams tanks.

Last Saturday Christina Summitt was tending bar at the Clinton, New Jersey Holiday Inn where she works full-time. Her wrist tattoo of a dog's paw often starts conversations with customers about her interest in animal rescue, and especially dogs.
She mentioned to one friendly couple that her puppy, a great Dane mix, was rushed into surgery the previous day for having swallowed a tennis ball and the vet bill was enormous. But the 3-year-old Tucker was like her child, so what was she going to do, deny him the care?
When she looked at the credit card slip after the man signed it, she was astounded to see a $1,000.00 tip added to an $80 tab. She tried to protest, but they wouldn't take back the super-generous tip.
"Use this to help pay for Tucker's $2,700 tennis ball," he said, adding that they would also pray for him.
"As I cried my eyes out, I could not find the words to thank this amazing kind couple," said the 37-year-old who is married and has three step-children."
"I'm still in utter shock over whole thing."
The hotel manager told CNN that she followed up and tracked down the customer this week to verify that the gesture was legitimate.
Tucker is recovering comfortably at home.

Health Desk—August 12, 2017: Discussants at a roundtable in the capital on Thursday put emphasis on five essential neonatal cares to reduce the death rate of newborns.
They said Bangladesh needs to reduce Neonatal Mortality Rates (NMR) to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. The country has, however, made remarkable progress in the sector in comparison with the other countries in the South Asia region.
The neonatal mortality reduction rate in the country has to be increased to 4.6 per cent from its current rate of 3.6 per cent, reveals a study of Bangladesh Demographic Health Survey (BDHS).
The study revealed that though the overall child mortality rate has reduced in the country, neonatal mortality mortality rate in proportion to the under-5 mortality rate (U5MR) has soared up.
Health directorate's NBHP and IMCI programme manager M Altaf Hossain presented this picture of the neonatal mortality rate at a roundtable on Essential Newborn Care (ENC), organised on Thursday with support from Unicef at the initiative of Prothom Alo.
The discussion, held at the Prothom Alo office in Dhaka's Karwan Bazar area, was moderated by the daily's associate editor Abdul Qayyum.
The research also divulged that 88 per cent of neonatal deaths in Bangladesh are from three highly preventable causes: severe infection, asphyxia and complications of premature birth.
Speaking as chief guest, state minister for health and family welfare ministry, Zahid Malik, put emphasis on building awareness to reduce the child and neonatal mortality rate.
Zahid Malik also said the government has trained about 1,500 midwives in proper childbirth methods. The required number is, however about 21,000, he added, quoting an UN survey.
BRAC's health, nutrition and population programme's (HNPP) Asadur Rahman focused on training people close to the new mothers. "In the context of Bangladesh, most of these women don't have anything to say about neonatal health care.
Mothers-in-law, mothers, sisters-in-law and others take decisions."
Health directorate's MNC&AH line director Jahangir Alam Sarker said, "The government has devised the National Newborn Health Programme (NNHP)." He said, "We have been working with a view to take newborn health care to each doorstep with the help of NGOs and other development partners."
Family planning directorate's director (MCH-Services) and line director (MCRAH), Mohammad Sharif, said, "We have been providing free delivery kits, which include 15 necessary items, at about 2200 union health and family welfare centres."
He also urged the state minister to arrange at least one ambulance for each union health and family welfare centres. "The ministry need to bear the cost of fuel and other expenses of the ambulance dedicated to pregnant women. This will change the whole scenario."
Care Bangladesh's programme director (health) Jahangir Hossain stressed the need for training family members of expectant mothers and the community about the five essential newborn cares (ENC), the rate of death will decrease."
Putting emphasis on three-day delayed bath for the neonatal, Bangladesh Perinatal Society's member secretary MAK Azad Chowdhury said, "We were the first people who persuaded the government to include 72-hour delayed bath in the health strategy."
ICDDRB's senior director Shams L Arefin said while increasing primary health care activities in Khulna, Sylhet and other areas of the country where neonatal and child mortality rate are high, the authorities must not exclude Dhaka and Chittagong.
He also focused on functional integration among the different bodies working in the sector.
Paediatrician and Birdem Hospital's director general Nazmun Nahar said, "Fathers also have to take the responsibility. They have to learn about the complications during pregnancy."
Pro vice-chancellor of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) M Shahidullah asked the development partners to assist the government instead of introducing isolated programmes. "New programmes can be adopted if any new field emerges."
Unicef health specialist Shamina Sharmin said, "Most of the neonatals die within the first 24 hours of their birth. If we can invest in saving the neonatals within the first day, the success will triple."
Family planning directorate director general Kazi Mostafa Sarwar said, "Neonatals mainly die for three reasons - infection, asphyxia and complications of preterm birth. These are preventable. Awareness can prevent these deaths. Family planning directorate is trying to ensure 'clean and safe delivery' to decrease the child mortality rate."
Health directorate director general Abul Kalam Azad said, "The research has to be in-depth and multidimensional. We must not raise health care activities only in Sylhet and Chittagong."

Seniority.co.uk is by far the largest web project I ever took on to date. Sure I have a few sites that I run now a days which have their own tricks but Seniority.co.uk was the site which I spent way too many waking and sleeping hours on making sure the site ran perfectly and kept advancing on a regular basis with new and exciting features. This page you are reading includes only a fraction of the things which I did with the Seniority.co.uk website. Sadly since I left the project in 2004 the website appears to have gone downhll will many dead links and lots of pages which are not easy to read. I am pretty dissappointed to see a project I have worked so hard on go downhill like that but I know what I achieved with the project and got a lot out of it. But I have moved on to better things.
So let's start at the beginning. Where is Seniority.co.uk first start. Well Seniority.co.uk was first launched in 1999 by three friends, Michael Cheney, Darren Stewart and David Bramley. At the time I was taking part in a one year industrial placement at ExxonMobil in Aberdeen as part of my University Course, which is where I met and worked with Michael Cheney and Darren Stewart.
Pretty much in the day the site launched, the three founding members realised that they did not know much about web development and HTML. As such they would have to rely on the serviced on a internet company to update the site on a regular basis. This is something that probably wasn't first thought of before launch. This is where I came in. While working with Michael Cheney and Darren Stewart at Exxon Mobil they knew about my skills and background in web development and the overall technical site of how the Internet works. So they decided to recruit me as part of the team to help out in the project.
I have to say this was one of the most exciting parts of my life, working on such a new and exciting project. Set the scene, the year is 1999 the Internet Boom! is in full swing and Online Businesses are popping up all over the place and making millions! Who wouldn't want to be involved with that if you had the skills! So from that point on I said goodbye to any chance on a quiet night instead spent many hours and all nighters updating the site, testing new features and adding them to the site. It was pretty much a full time. Practically every second away from the University studies was spent working on Seniority.co.uk.
One of the first major changes to the site was the addition of a community discussion forum. Initially the site was a small handful of pages with some relevant articles to the over 50's / silver surfers audience. What was needed to take the site to the next level was a discussion forum, so that people would come to the site not just for the interesting reading but also to meet other like minded people and establish and online community of over 50's.
Initially things were slow, we got a few initial members but no where near what we expected. Soon we me with some hard times. This wasn't going to be as easy as we thought and before long we lost one of our team members as the project was taking up so much of our time without getting any reward back.
The problem at this stage was mainly due to lack of traffic to the site. Yeah we were getting hits and a couple of members to our forums but that was nothing on the scale of things. So new tactics were required. Marketing. Yep that good ol real word tactic of advertising your product and service to get more customers. So we did what we could learnt all we could about Internet Marketing techniques and got to work, before too long we started seeing results. Search engines were starting to recognise the site, we were attracting visitors from other rival sites, we got the site reviews in a number of magazines and news papers, even got a mention on the odd TV Program. Within the space of a few months things had gone from bad to just about hectic. We all stated to feel this was really starting to take off.
Before we knew it we found that the site was starting to strain under the load of the number of hits/visitors we were receiving and new needed a new site. The initial developers of the site implemented a fairly linear platform based on CGI/PERL scripts which weren't designed in a dynamic way and updates to the site were tedious and took hours. Something had to be done.
We booked a few meetings with local web development companies and got their advice, saw their products and what they could offer. We were just about to sign a deal for thousands of pounds to get a new system implemented when I turned round to the other members of the team and said "Oi, there's nothing I haven't seen from these companies that I couldn't implement myself" So with that I signed my life away. Potentially I knew how to go about it but In a way I dug myself a whole as I didn't have the entire knowledge to fully create what I had in mind. So for 3 whole months non stop over the summer break between my 3rd and 4th year at University I set about learning all I could about PHP and MySQL.
My god at the end of those 3 months was I impressed with myself and my teammates were gobsmaked at what I had come up with. The entire Seniority.co.uk website was completely re-written from the ground up. Not one piece of code was left over from the initial site which was launched 12 months previously. Every bit of code was written by me. Never been one to blow my own trumpet but Woohoo! what an achievement. The site although looked more or less the same in order to keep the site easy to use and not confuse our regular users the overall look of the site was cleaner crisper and felt more friendly But behind the scenes there was a completely new Advertising section and brand new bespoke content management system which was tied in with everything the site had. Where changes used to take someone and hour, now only took 2 minutes. I kid you not!! The site felt alive it felt like a living thing that it would automatically adapt to whatever we wanted from it.
Over time the site has been added to with various other bells and whistles to make marketing the site and its content easier and more effective that same basic scalable platform I developed back in 2002 is still very much in place today and shows no sign of giving up. Even now I use the same basic principals in all the sites which I develop. This makes the sites very easy to update and add to.
So what happened? Well as time went on despite the popularity of the site, the .com bubble had burst and you could say we missed our chance. The site was not making the sort of money we had originally expected and life was getting hard. Families were getting stressed due to the time spent working on the project and we lost another team member. Without the rewards it was difficult to keep motivated. This left us with just two people left on the project. Michael Cheney and Alan Addison (me). For a couple more years things worked well. I spent every night until the very early hours in the morning making sure the site was running smoothly and kept it up to date, while trying to moderate the rather roudy users of the discussion forum. Actually anyone who says "old" people are boring are sadly mistaken!! I learnt a great lesson from all the visitors of the Seniority forums and that is you never truly grow up. Great sense of humor from all and of course the odd playground bully. What an incredible environment.
Sadly as things went on without getting any financial return from the site I had to throw in the towel. In 2004 I decided to leave Seniority.co.uk and concentrate on my own projects elsewhere. While Michael Cheney carried on with his Internet Marketing career, there was no place for me there. I has the skills and experience but we went our separate ways. Just one of those things I guess when you work with someone for aa long period of time.
So what of Senioirity.co.uk today. Well Seniority.co.uk Ltd. is the parent company of many other smaller companies which are related to online marketing, some of which I developed the sites for. As for the Seniority.co.uk site itself, almost as soon as I left the project the discussion forums were sadly closed own, it seems no one but me could keep them alive and things got too much for the owners and instead of keeping things going the site slowly started to close it doors with many areas failing to be updated and an increasing number of dead links around. Really is quite a sad end to a long project. Seeing it dry up and crumble before my eyes after I walked away. But I was getting very little out of it, I had learnt so much about web development and Internet Marketing that I needed a fresh start, I needed to work on projects that could really achieve something. That is precisely one of the hobbies I'm working on today, which is getting increasingly more productive and exciting each and every day.

During my stay at Weil Hotel Ipoh this year, I attended a dinner at The Deck situated at the rooftop of the hotel. The food presented that night was the creation of Chef Sam Lau and his team and I truly enjoyed the dish creations. Chef's cooking had an English influence which got me inspired to dive in for more.

Title: The Game and the Governess
Author: Kate Noble
Genre: Historical Romance
Publisher: Pocket Books
Source: Review copy from publisher
Format: E-book
Three friends. One Wager. Winner takes all.
The Earl—'Lucky Ned' Ashby. Pompous, preening, certain that he is beloved by everyone.
The Miller—John Turner. Proud, forced to work as the Earl's secretary, their relationship growing ever more strained.
The Doctor—Rhys Gray. Practical, peace-loving, but caught in the middle of two warring friends.
Their wager is simple: By trading places with John Turner and convincing someone to fall in love with him, Ned plans to prove it's him the world adores, not his money. Turner plans to prove him wrong.
But no one planned on Phoebe Baker, the unassuming governess who would fall into their trap, and turn everything on its head...
The Earl of Ashby also known as Lucky Ned, believes his luck with the ladies has everything to do with his charm and not his title. One of his best friend and secretary (John Turner), wants to prove him wrong and challenges him to a wager, in which they will change places for two weeks, two weeks for Ned to pretend to be Mr. Turner and make a gentle woman fall in love with him.
The stakes are high, but Ned is sure that will be an easy win and accepts gladly.
What they never consider was that they both could lose greatly with this bet.
It took me a long time to get into the story, almost 60%. After that the story picks up and it was more enjoyable. I think this has a lot to do with Ned. On the beginning he's not a very likeable character; he's pompous, shallow and selfish. He gets better towards the middle of the book, but still, at times it wasn't enough to like him.
Turner wasn't bad at all. He was better than Ned, that's for sure. I wish I could have seen a resolution in his story.
The heroine, Phoebe Baker was my favorite character. I really liked her; I liked that despite her circumstances she continues to find things to smile.
The story is entertaining, but as I said before, the beginning is very slow and it drags at times. The writing is good, but if I'm honest this book didn't impress me.
The Game and the Governess was my first book by Kate Noble and most probably it will be my last.
To rate this book I have to use math. The first part of the book deserves a 2 ½ Paws and the second part 3 Paws. That will give the book 2 ⅔ Paws, but I feel generous today and I'm rounding it to 3 Paws.
My Verdict: 3 Paws

Star Trek Ship was spotted hovering in the sky in Canada. Well, that is according to UFO skeptic Chad Haines after he posted images and videos of the highly celebrated spacecraft.
Chad Haines, who admitted he was the 'last person' to believe in this, posted a video about it in YouTube. The UFO was spotted over Random Island, Canada, according to Haines. This man is a skeptic who declared that he was the last person to believe in UFOs, aliens or extra-terrestrials. After witnessing the UFO hovering in the sky near his house, he says he can not explain what it is. He said it looks like a saucer, similar to the Star Trek ship from the TV series.
Haines was deleting images off his camera when he stumbled upon photographs that were taken earlier in the year. The object similar to a UFO was hovering over water near to the moon, it was visible for two to three hours. The UFO remained still most of that time, then, the object moved up and down and then it rapidly left. It was not visible anymore. Haines states the object definitely was not a plane and said the UFO was too large to be a drone. Haines never believed in UFOs but had a great surprise.
This is not the first time that a UFO appears in the same place
According to Tyler Glockner, a sighting related with UFOs happened in the same place in 1978. This time, it was a strange cigar-shaped craft that was hovering over Random Island. The police officer who spotted the UFO was subjected to so much ridicule that he barely talked about it again.

The Village of Schaumburg has developed a cost share program for home owners of detached single-family residential structures to participate in the installation and/or retrofit of overhead sewers.
The program allows owners of single-family detached homes to be reimbursed for 50% of the installation of an overhead sewer, up to a maximum reimbursement of $5,000. Many older homes in the village have gravity sewer systems that can back up when the village's main line sewer surcharges.
Through this cost share program, the village will reimburse the homeowner 50% of the cost of converting a gravity sewer system to an overhead sewer system.
The village has invested millions of dollars to improve its sanitary sewer system, and continues an aggressive program to clean and inspect existing main line sewers so that capacities are not reduced by debris, tree roots, or infiltration of storm water. Studies have indicated that to achieve protection from sewer backups by merely increasing sewer sizes is not a cost effective method of preventing these backups. The goal of this program is to provide protection against the backup of sewage . This program can help increase property values and minimize home owner inconvenience.
While no sewer is immune to backup, the most reliable method for protecting private property from sewer backup is through the installation of overhead sewers. Modifications of the plumbing inside the home to an overhead system can dramatically reduce the possibility of the backup of sewage into the home or basement when the sewer system is overloaded. Installation of an ejector pit and pump(s) to lift the building sewage above the elevation of the sewer main in the street provides a means of positive protection. Installations of this type can vary depending on the necessary internal modifications required. This program provides for a one time 50% reimbursement not to exceed $5,000 by the village for the installation of overhead sewers.

Wart Zwart is a german illustrator/typographer and graphic designer. He produces screen prints, posters, flyers, magazines and personal drawings all in his very unique style.
I love his style of drawing and how the way he draws his subject doesn't focus on accuracy. His faces are distorted and merged always drawn with very naive lines and almost scratched onto the paper.
Below is a selection of his flyers for various events that caught my eye. I like how basic they are but at the same time very effective. I definitely this may be a path i would like to experiment within!

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The famed Churchill Downs horse race track, longtime home to the running of the Kentucky Derby, was hit by a possible tornado Wednesday, knocking down parts of barns and chasing out horses that ran loose before being corralled.
Hours after the storm hit, officials had no reports of injuries to humans or horses at the track that draws the attention of horse racing fans worldwide the first Saturday of each May.
Elsewhere in the city, high water from torrential rains briefly trapped a couple of people in their cars, a mayor's spokesman said, and a hospital reported that it treated two patients hit by falling trees.
The National Weather Service said radar tracked a confirmed tornado south of downtown near the track and the University of Louisville campus about 8:10 p.m. Though no races are run on Wednesdays, a simulcast of races elsewhere was being shown at the track, and a Texas Hold 'em poker tournament was being held, officials said.
At least nine of the track's 48 backside barns were damaged, as was the chapel. The barn damage, displacing about 200 horses, was in an area of the track where workers live in apartments above barns. One barn was flooded by a water main break.
"It's a hell of a mess back here," track spokesman John Asher said of the barn area where the damage was concentrated.
Louisville fire Capt. Salvador Melendez said safe areas were found for the horses overnight at the track. The track said it was arranging for the possible evacuation of about 150 horses to the nearby state fairgrounds. Keeneland Racetrack in Lexington also offered stall space if needed, Asher said.
The powerful winds also damaged living quarters for about 100 people who work in the stable area, and arrangements were being made to provide them temporary shelter, the track said.
Much of the track was spared, including the iconic twin spires above the clubhouse overlooking the finish line that were apparently not damaged, said track President Kevin Flanery.
"Clearly we've got several barns with significant damage and we're just trying to make sure people and the animals are safe first," Flanery said.
Security guards told reporters that some horses had gotten loose for a time but were later caught. At least 1,300 horses were stabled at Churchill, said vice president of racing Donnie Richardson.
Several people taking part in the poker tournament said they saw the rotation in the clouds and then saw swirling winds touch down along the backstretch and skip diagonally through the barn area, Asher said.
"Clearly in their eyes it was a tornado." Asher said. A National Weather Service team will determine whether a tornado or straight line winds did the damage.
Trainer William "Jinks" Fires had to find new living quarters for 24 horses in a barn that had part of its roof torn off. Water was knee-high in the barn after pipes broke.
"I was home in my pajamas," he said. "But it didn't take me long to get here."
Other trainers offered empty stall space for the horses he trains.
"Anyone who had an empty stall, we put 'em in," Fires said.
The 137th Kentucky Derby, run this year on May 7, brought in a crowd of more than 160,000. The annual spring tradition, the first leg of horseracing's Triple Crown, is known as much for its mint juleps and fancy hats as the racing.
The track, owned by Churchill Downs Inc., underwent extensive renovations in 2002 and 2003 totaling more than $200 million. Thursday's racing card, training and simulcast wagering operations were canceled because of the damage. The track has nine live racing days left in its spring meet that runs until July 4.
In August 2009, a flash flood heavily damaged the Kentucky Derby Museum, situated just off Gate 1 at Churchill Downs. The museum was closed for nine months while it underwent a $5.5 million renovation.
No damage has been reported at the university, which is sparsely populated at this time of year, said John Drees, a university spokesman. Scattered reports of damage to buildings in the Louisville metro area were reported from the storms that continued to move through into the night. The worst damage appeared to be in the Churchill Downs area, though, said Chris Poynter, a spokesman for Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer.
Eyewitnesses said they saw about a dozen power poles downed near the track and university. Some 2,600 customers were without power around the Louisville area at about midnight.
Storm sirens wailed in Kentucky's largest city as multiple tornado warnings were issued as the storm went through.
"It looks like we dodged what could have been a really bad … evening," Poynter said.
Associated Press writers Janet Cappiello, Beth Campbell and Joe Edwards contributed to this report. Edwards reported from Nashville, Tenn. AP freelancer Josh Abner also contributed to this report.

Greetings from New York! I have never blogged about New York before because I wouldn't know where to begin or end and a post on a website seems inadequate to capture the many charms of this city. I would need a novel or an opera. Christmas in New York, however, is a moment in time capable and worthy of description.
I am pleased to report that there was snow on Christmas Eve; not falling from the sky, but piled up along sidewalks and balanced on top of mail boxes. I arrived to find a pleasant nip of winter in the air – the sort of brisk chill that is invigorating and fresh, worthy of mittens, not balaclavas.
I set out on my search for Christmas splendor in Union Square where the annual Christmas market was in full swing, with artists and jewelers and craftspeople selling their wares from red and white stalls decorated with pine tree garlands. I didn't buy anything, but I spend about an hour strolling around. I had a pleasant chat with the world's greatest sock puppet portrait artist, Marty, of whom I am a great fan and then I enjoyed a small cigar as I walked onwards in the winter sunshine.
Later I found myself in Times Square, having decided to pick up my theatre tickets ahead of time. Times Square looks the same at Christmas as it does at every other time of year, but it feels Christmassy nevertheless. After all both Times Square and Christmas are all about colored, blinking lights and insatiable consumerism. I collected my tickets for my upcoming shows (Billy Eliot, Hair, and A Little Night Music) and meandered over to 5th and 42nd to have a cigar at Nat Sherman.
|Marty: the Sock Puppet Portrait Guy
The fellows at Nat's welcomed me warmly and I enjoyed a 75th Anniversary non-Cuban Montecristo Robusto in their Johnson Club Lounge, where I chatted about the injustice of the anti-smoking regulations with some local guys. The cigar lacked complexity, but it was fairly strong, well-constructed and tasty.
After my cigar, I dashed over the Grand Central to have a cocktail with my friend Dave. Grand Central Station was buzzing with Christmas travelers boarding trains with bouquets of flowers, giant wreathes, bottles of wine and shiny, wrapped presents. We sat at one of the bars, overlooking the station and taking in the light show on the ceiling, which was cool in a 1970s sort of way. Eventually we boarded one of the trains north to Chappaqua for Christmas dinner with friends (sadly, not the Clintons).
On Christmas day I was insistent that we take in all of the typical Christmas sights. We took the subway to Columbus Circle and walked along the south border of Central Park to 5th Avenue; as we approached, you could actually feel the Christmas spirit intensify. The streets were overflowing with people (almost all tourists) gawking at the impressive decorations and waiting in line for horse-drawn carriage rides.
|Grand Central
As I said, 5th Avenue was thick with tourists, which meant that is was also crawling with those wanting to profit from them. There were about a half-dozen guys on every block selling fake designer purses, watches and sunglasses. There were stalls selling souvenirs and winter accessories food vendors selling pretzels and knishes and then there was my favorite: the three card monte guys and the guys who play that game with the three cups and the ball. It is fascinating to watch these guys, because they always draw a small crowd of interested onlookers, planning to profit from what seems like an easy game. My favorite part is watching the one plant in the crowd – the guy who bets $40, $60, $100 and always makes a profit by picking the right card or cup. Of course this guy is in on the con. Quickly others in the crowd, inspired by the easy with which the plant is winning his money, start placing bets with less success. For me, the entertainment is free.
I crossed the street and went to the Saint Patrick's Cathedral, which was filled with the pious and the curious. The music was beautiful, but the crowds were a bit too much to bear, so I did not stay too long.
|pedestrians on 5th Avenue
Finally, the Mecca of New York Christmas cheer: Rockefeller Centre. The centre is decorated with illuminated snowflakes, angels blowing gilded trumpets, towering toy soldiers and, of course, the massive Christmas tree. It is all very lovely. I had hoped to go ice-skating, but as with my previous trip to Christmas New York, the line is ridiculously long. If you have your heart set on skating at the Rockefeller rink, I recommend getting there as soon as it opens.
On the streets surrounding Rockefeller centre are dozens of people dressed up as Santa, Sponge Bob, Dora the Explorer, Hello Kitty, the Grinch, et cetera. For a dollar you can have your picture taken with them. I think these people are just entrepreneurs who rent costumes and take to the streets in the hope of making a buck. Not a bad idea, really. I saw one child staring up with utter bafflement at group of costumed characters composed of two Elmos and two Cookie Monsters. The poor kid must have thought he was seeing double.
|Rockefeller Center
Boxing Day was a day of theatre. I saw "Hair", which was joyous. Every member of the cast had an amazing voice. The best part was at the end when they sang "Let the Sun Shine In", they invited people to join them on the stage to dance and sing along. I bolted down from the mezzanine and clapped and sang and danced on the stage with all of the hippies. It was awesome. In the evening, I saw a performance of "A Little Night Music", starring Angela Lansbury and Catherine Zeta-Jones. It was a wonderful production and I loved it. In between the two shows I enjoyed a cigar at Nat Sherman's where I also attempted to dry out from the unrelenting rain outside.
Today I plan to go to the MOMA and the rest of the day is a mystery. The snow and rain are both gone, the sun is shining, and my flight is not until 9:45pm, so almost anything is possible. It is the 27th and there are still the faintest wisps of Christmas still in the air.

Onion festival in Bern and hiking around Thun Lake
Is there going to be any Internations event related to the Onion festival on November 23rd? As I have a day off, I'll have a hop there from Milano for a long weekend and was wondering about it.
Besides wondering, I was also considering... wandering around Thun Lake. More specifically, doing the
Protected content
( or Protected content ) hike either on Saturday or Sunday, and the
Protected content on the other day.
If the weather is kind, would anyone be interested in joining in a walk across the natural parks of Suldtal and Hohgant?
Cheers from Milano,

text: Hi, this is my first post here. I'm primarily a guitarist but I've got some gigs lined up where I'll be playing bass as well as acoustic and electric guitar. I have a Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass, but I don't have a bass amp at the moment. It would lighten my load considerably if I could run both my bass and my acoustic guitar through a JBL 15" G2 cabinet instead of buying a real bass amp. What if I used an ART Tube MP as a direct box and went straight to the JBL? (I have an Aphex parametric EQ and could do some sound shaping with that for the bass too, if needed.) Or would it sound a lot better if I got a real bass amp? If so, what amp would you recommend? I'm playing mostly classic rock and blues. Thanks a lot!

Wednesday Coloring
For several weeks now I have been wanting to give my hand at coloring some stamped images. I have not attempted coloring in quite a long time now, but I bought some really cute stamps at the end of the Halloween season last year and I wanted to try my hand again at coloring. I was a bit nervous because it had been such a long time since I colored. I used to color all the time but for some reason I just moved away from them. So my first attempt was with my copics and I have to say I failed miserably!! I used the correct paper, ink etc but it was just a big mess. My little one even said to me "mom that is ugly!" So I then moved on to my prismacolor pencils and some gamsol. Whenever I need something quick I always head toward my pencils.
So this is what I made. I used my Penny Black stamps and colored them with my pencils. I think the little Dracula turned out so cute and I love his little bat friend! I then added some Halloween twine from The Stringery and called it a day! I had a lot of fun and may try my hand at coloring again sometime soon. LOL!! I
cardstock- bazzill, neenah solar white
paper- bella blvd
stamps- penny black
ink- memento
pencils- prismacolor
twine- The Stringery!
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I will be back tomorrow with a new layout. I really have been using up my scraps and I have another one that I went hog wild on my pattern paper LOL!! See you then!
Have a wonderful and crafty day!

The content of the conversation hasn't been released but according to foreign ministry officials, the conversations was "polite but firm on both sides."
Hungarian foreign ministry officials said "the government continues to believe that it is important that the United States substantiate the accusations against the head of the National Taxation Bureau. This is the only way Chairwoman Ildikó Vida can clarify the issue and learn about the nature of the alleged evidence against her."
Szijjártó told the US assistant secretary that Hungary was governed by the rule of law; therefore, if US companies experience an infringement of the law, they can make a criminal complaint anytime.

Could more storms form Sunday?
Could more storms form Sunday?
A series of weak disturbances will keep rain chances in the forecast the next several days. On Sunday the heat and humidity will help fuel these storms, most of which will pop up in the afternoon and evening. As you can see in the snap shot of our in-house weather model above Sunday morning looks dry for most of the viewing area, though, an isolated shower can't be ruled out.
As we go further into the day temperatures in the 90s will combine with high humidity to prompt more afternoon storms...
Not everyone will see the storms, but, for those who do flash flooding will once again be a threat given their slow movement.

This post has nothing to do with entering contests. Many of them are wonderful, and I wouldn't trade my experiences with them.
Today, I'm here to talk about competitiveness, not competition. There's a difference. We can all enter writing competitions. I did and have and will again. The writing adrenaline junkie in me loves to get the feedback, to see how I did, to see who wins and why. Writing contests are a great way to receive input on our stories from people who've never read our work. Of course the feedback is subjective; of course it's varied. That's a good thing, because when our works are published and out there in the world, the reading audience will be varied and subjective. Fasten that suit of armor! Get used to it.
Competitiveness in writing is a whole separate beast. It's my firmly-held belief that writing is not a competitive sport. Say that with me one more time: writing is not a competitive sport. We don't write to finish faster or with more words in ten minutes than our sprint partners. We don't write because it's a race to the end. We write because we have stories to tell–full stop. Stories inside our heads that we want to put out on the page, worlds to build, people to invent. These unique creations are ours and ours alone. No one else can write the stories I imagine, nor can I write the stories you imagine.
So why are we so competitive as writers? We sprint ("how many words did you get?"). We query ("how many full requests did you get? How many partials?"). We attract an agent's interest ("how many offers did you get? How many did you have to turn down?"). On and on it goes, as if comparing our successes and failures will make us better at writing.
The only person I want to compete with on this writing journey is myself. I can set word count goals and if they're too low, challenge myself to write more. I can set reading goals (Goodreads practically forces us to do so). I can set editing goals…but I don't want to compete with my fellow writers on these things. The truth as I see it is this: we can only do what we can do. Just because one of my writing buddies might have daily word counts in the 5k range and mine level out around 3k or their query netted a 20% positive response rate and mine sits at 14%, it doesn't matter. I write because I have stories to tell. Unique, personal creations living in my brain that want out on the page, and in that there is no competition.
Only creation.

A mixed-race eight-year-old girl is haunted by her imaginary friend, family secrets and the two cultures she inhabits.
Oyeyemi's much-publicized debut, completed shortly before her 19th birthday, enters the troubled mind of Jessamy Harrison, the "half-and-half" daughter of a Nigerian mother and British father. Nervy and alienated, Jessamy finds the world too fast and expectant. Oyeyemi drip-feeds her problems: she has trouble eating in front of strangers, is bullied at school, takes refuge in cupboards and often resorts to screaming tantrums. On a first family visit to Nigeria she meets Titiola—or TillyTilly—a friend who has magic powers but forbids Jess to talk about her: "Can't you tell that I'm not supposed to be there." Back home, Jess is first ill, then in difficulties again at school, so is thrilled when TillyTilly reappears, an ally who seems able to sneak invisibly into the homes of her enemies. But who is TillyTilly? A figment of Jess's feverish brain, her alter ego, the expression of her angry or divided self? Even Jess begins to suspect her friend isn't real, leading to TillyTilly's revelation that Jess had a twin sister, Fern, who was stillborn. Oyeyemi ratchets up the horror as Jess begins to fear her jealous friend's powers of invasion and destruction. Her parents respond impulsively, sometimes angrily, to the developing mayhem, leading TillyTilly to "get" Jess's father, who falls into a depressive illness. A psychologist is brought in, but precocious Jess can see through his techniques, and TillyTilly wrecks the relationship by harming his daughter, Jess's new friend Shivs. Narrated from Jess's point-of-view, this ambitious psychodrama becomes repetitive in structure and can't always sustain the adult tone. A conclusion in Nigeria attempts to knit Jess's three worlds—the actual, the spiritual and the "Bush"—but doesn't wholly rescue or resolve a story rich in material yet technically imbalanced.
Not enough consistent magic in this extended metaphor on cultural, social and psychological conflict.

The toilets in the arcade closed over two years ago Bri they had a sign on the door for ages ,the ones at the pier head won't last much longer real money will have to be spent on them soon .
I do hope this traditional pleasure doesnt suddenly get swept away by the nanny state govt.
This week, the UK Govt are set to announce a wide ranging review of gambling, with new curbs being imposed mainly on high st bookmakers.But, it is also strongly rumoured that seaside arcade slot machines and coin pushers will no longer be accessible to children.Those machines might not be so sinister compared to £100 a spin roulette machines in bookmakers, but they are a significant source of revenue for the Pier company.I do hope this traditional pleasure doesnt suddenly get swept away by the nanny state govt.
The amusement arcade at the end of the pier is still advertising the River City Jazzmen for 2012.
Some talk? ? that the pier will be closed for some weeks due to storm damage.
But will Mr. Williams be able to pay to repair the Pier whilst his business is threatened by Waldorns' folly? This could just be the beginning of the end...

It's Over! Lea Michele and Actor Boyfriend Split
Posted by admin at 7:33 PM
I can exclusively reveal that...
The Glee star, 25, and her actor boyfriend of more than a year, Theo Stockman, have called it quits, a source tells me.
A rep for Michele confirmed the split. "This is not a dramatic breakup, the relationship just ran its course," the rep said in a statement. "They are still friends and will always be friends."
The very low-profile couple first went public when they attended the Time 100 Most Influential People gala in New York City together in May 2010. Stockman, 26, starred in American Idiot on Broadway and has appeared on television shows like 30 Rock and Nurse Jackie.
The two were last spotted vacationing together in Hawaii in July.
Perhaps Michele should give Taylor Lautner a call? Source: E! Online

Gavin DeGraw Has No Memory Of Cab Run-In
Posted by admin at 7:18 PM
The "Chariot" star also suffered a broken nose and other injuries after a gang of thugs turned on him as he walked home from a night out with friends in early August.
It was reported that DeGraw took another blow when he was hit by a taxi as he staggered home after the attack, before a passerby found him and called for an ambulance to take him to hospital.
The singer recalls his struggle trying to dial 911 on his cell phone and he admits the only knowledge he has about the cab is from a third party.
He tells UsMagazine.com, "I was having a hard time calling because my cell was so bloody. I was bleeding so much and I remember my fingers were sliding all over the keypad. I remember that being very frustrating. I got there (to the hospital) because someone said that I had an encounter with a cab.
"I didn't know anything about that at that point. I had a pretty serious concussion already so I don't remember very much... I think the person who called the ambulance said that I had been hit by a cab. I don't know exactly what that means."
But DeGraw can understand why no cab driver would have wanted to give him a ride.
He says, "My speculation is that I saw the cab and it stopped so I went up to it to get in because I was so bloody and needed help to take me to the hospital. He probably saw how bloody I was and stepped on the pedal from there. This is more speculation, you know what I mean?
"I don't know if I was hit by a cab. I probably grabbed the handle to get in, he probably saw it, and stepped on the pedal which could have thrown me. Maybe the cab kind of grazed me at that point and threw me off into the road or sidewalk or whatever. That's when the person called the ambulance." Source: StarPulse
Sara Bareilles Auctioning Off Memorabilia To Help Stage Collapse Victims
Posted by admin at 7:15 PM
Singer Sara Bareilles has collected celebrity memorabilia from her famous friends for a charity auction to benefit the families affected by the Indiana State Fair stage collapse.
The "Love Song" star had just left the stage when storm winds brought the structure down, killing seven festival-goers and injuring another 40.
And she's still recovering from the August tragedy.
She says, "It definitely changes the way you step onstage. We were all very fortunate that day and no one in my crew... was hurt from that, but we all saw a lot of stuff that we wish we hadn't seen."
Now she's determined to help those recovering from the tragedy.
Bareilles adds, "We've put together an eBay auction to benefit the families that were affected by that tragic event... All sorts of artists have donated time and unique special gifts."
The memorabilia went on show on Bareilles' website on Monday. Source: StarPulse

'Moneyball' Doesn't Quite Knock It out of the Park
Posted by admin at 7:10 PM
Sure, it helps if you're a fan of the sport and if you've read Michael Lewis' breezy and engaging best-seller "Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game." Sabermetrics — the process of applying statistical formulas, rather than on-field appearance and general makeup, to determine a player's worth — wouldn't seem like an inherently cinematic topic. But Lewis made lesser-known guys like Scott Hatteberg and Chad Bradford leap off the page. And the cajoling patter from Billy Beane, the Oakland A's general manager who pioneered this experimental philosophy, would seem tailor-made for screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, who co-wrote the script along with fellow veteran scribe Steven Zaillian.
Still, what's most pleasing about the film doesn't really have to do with baseball.
As Beane, Brad Pitt is at his charismatic best — a little weary, a little weathered, but that complexity only makes him more appealing. He's persistent and persuasive as he tries to change the mindset of the baseball lifers who surround him. We see him rage in his infamously volatile fashion when things go wrong, but we also see him make himself vulnerable: He's embracing this approach as a result of his own failure.
Tall, good-looking and naturally athletic — a five-tool guy, as they say — Beane was a highly-touted high school prospect who turned down a scholarship to Stanford to play for the New York Mets. But his professional career was brief, and he never lived up to the hype. This inspired him to value players for more pragmatic reasons than the traditional methods old-school scouts use. The most important thing, he reasoned, is getting on base. And some of the players who get on base most often happen to be undervalued, perhaps older or a little banged-up, and they come at bargain prices — which is crucial when you've got a fraction of the payroll of big-market teams.
As he ventures into this brave new world at the start of the 2002 season, having lost in agonizing fashion to the New York Yankees in the 2001 post-season, his trusty sidekick is Peter Brand, a 25-year-old Yale economics graduate and follower of sabermetrics guru Bill James. (The character is an amalgamation of several young, up-and-coming baseball executives who subscribed to this belief). Jonah Hill is at his best here, too, as Brand: the perfect foil for a force of nature like Beane. Halting and almost humorless, Hill ultimately finds the quiet confidence in this character, and he and Pitt bounce off each other beautifully. The scenes in which they banter represent the best "Moneyball" has to offer.
Yes, they're talking about baseball, but the intelligence of their interactions and the bond they forge transcend sport. And watching them upend a bastion of American culture can be thrilling.
Similarly, though, the things that are wrong with the movie have nothing to do with baseball, either. Insiders and hardcore fans will probably find reasons to nitpick, as is their wont; if there's a group of people more obsessed with details and arcania than movie nerds, it's baseball nerds. But more fundamentally, there's a problem with the pacing in director Bennett Miller's film. Source: ABCNews

MICHELLE WILLIAMS Wants To Quit Acting
Posted by admin at 6:54 PM
But the former "Dawson's Creek" actress, who'll be playing the iconic Marilyn Monroe in "My Week With Marilyn" has different ideas on the matter:
"I often dream of quitting acting. Walking away and becoming a laundress or a sous chef or maybe writing other people's love letters for a living,"Michelle tells celebrity news.
"Clearly, I don't like to be in charge. And thinking of quitting is just keeping going in disguise. When you have options, anything is bearable. It's when a situation is inescapable that it becomes hell. It seems to me that as soon as you get good at something, it is a sure sign that it is about to walk out of your life because it ceases to hold your mind and creative energy hostage."Clearly, we are either in a huge state of depression or taking an insane amount of mind-altering drugs.
Or else this is just how a gifted thespian talks, enigmatically without any particular meaning that's clear to anyone but themselves.
Still, whatever Michelle Williams is planning, we hope she plods on until she snags that Oscar. It'll be a pity to have nothing to show to young Matilda once she's segued her career over to slaving away over the vichyssoise at a three-star hotel, or managing the neighboring Laundromat.

Oprah confirmed 'She didn't say that'
Posted by admin at 8:06 PM
"I have reservations with the results. If the only basis is the Q and A portion, after having been trimmed down to 5, Ms. Philippines deserved to win. What made her different from the rest is that she had no seconds to rethink of her answer as she had no interpreter to break the ice. The rest had their interpreters and having breaks on seconds to think about their answers. Hands down, Ms. Philippines answered straight to the point."
There's no truth to the statement that allegedly said by Oprah. It's a hoax.
A moderator on Oprah's official website Oprah.com said Oprah has not issued "any comments of this nature."
OWNModerator13 responded: "There is no truth to the statement. Ms. Winfrey has not made any comments of this nature. Thank you for asking."

(2) VIS-8005: Fixed Code Transmitter, Pre-coded Wireless Remote
The 7467 kit is a one door 1200 lbs maglock buzz-in kit for doors that opens in. It is mainly used for customers to remotely unlock their door. This package includes a maglock, bracket, wireless RF receiver, wireless RF remotes, power supply, and exit button. You will be able to let people in by clicking on the wireless RF remote, the VIS-8005. The remote communicates with the wireless receiver, VIS-8004, which can program up to the 50 remotes and has a range of up to 300 feet. There are three functions on the receiver that will allow you to set the system based on your preference.
The default function of the receiver is that when the power is on, the lock of your kit is locked and when you press the remote the maglock will unlock temporarily for four seconds to open the door and then re-engage. The second function that the receiver has is the ON/Off feature. This feature is very similar to a light switch; when you program this option you would press the remote once and the door will unlock and remain unlocked until you press the button again. When you press the remote again, the door will then lock. The last feature is identical to the first one but instead of a four second delay, it is only one second.
The VISML1200LED magnetic door lock provides a strong sense of security with its outstanding holding force and significant features. The maglock is installed beneath the top of the door frame to make sure that the door remains closed and locked. With the VISML1200LED, you have up to 1200 lbs of force protecting the door, which means it would take above 1200 lbs of force to open the door if someone wanted to force entry into the door. The LED light on the maglock helps you identify when the maglock is locked and unlocked. When the light is red, the maglock is locked. When the light is green, the maglock is unlocked.
This access control system also brings an exit button that will allow you to exit from the inside of the door. Keep in mind that this exit button does not bring a delay meaning that you would have to press the exit button at the same time that you open the door. The Visionis VIS-7030 is a wide white push to exit button that easy to connect and use.
This kit has a 3 year warranty with full access to tech support in the USA!

text: "Annie" was a woman who grew up in a small farm community with a goal to marry a farmer, which she did. She spent her lifetime learning how to be an involved business partner with her husband. Working together, they did great things, but it wasn't easy. Annie took on an ambitious project; to take her life's experiences and share them with farm women living and working in a complex, dynamic, evolving business environment. Annie's Project is a comprehensive educational program and support network designed to: 1. Deliver technology training to farm and ranch women, enhancing their business skills, and 2. Develop a support network, which is essential for continuing education and self-help. Together, the SDSU Cooperative Extension Service and the North Central Risk Management Education Center is offering "Annie's Project" to farm and ranch women this fall in Chamberlain, SD. Sessions will be held from 6 Ð 9 p.m. each Wednesday evening, Oct. 24 Ð Dec. 5. The specific location of the sessions is yet to be determined.

Kolkata: Accusing central agencies and Ministry of Home Affairs of being involved in witchhunting in the Burdwan blast case, Jamat-Ulama-e-Hind general secretary Maulana Mahmood Madani on Wednesday alleged that a conspiracy is on to "tarnish" the entire Muslim community.
"If someone is guilty, then he should be punished. But please don't indulge in witchhunting and tarnish the entire community. The central agencies even before something is proved, is leaking things about raids in madrasas which in turn is creating problems for the entire community," he said.
"What was the central agencies and the Home Ministry doing when such activities were going on? If any unlawful thing is going on in madrasas and it is proved, we will fully cooperate with the agencies," Madani said.
Madrasas operating in Bengal and throughout India work for the benefit of the masses, he asserted.
NIA, which is investigating the Burdwan blast, is probing links with suspected al-Qaeda and Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) terrorists with Simulia madrasa in the district as the accused were believed to have been indoctrinated there.
"A conspiracy is being hatched to malign the entire community. We have to fight against this community. I must say that the condition of Muslims in India is much better than their counterparts in other countries of the Indian sub continent.
"India belongs to all communities. During partition, we had the option of leaving India but our forefathers choose to be part of India. But if such kind of vilification campaign continues against us, then it will alienate the entire community," he added.

Every year it seems like there is some "it" toy, some hot faddish item that everyone simply must have. Of course, it is impossible to predict what it will be. That's the nature of fads, they spring up from nowhere and spread, epidemic-like, through the culture.
We can, however, look at some of the most popular sellers from recent years and use that to predict what will be the big sellers in the future. As we look back we will see very familiar names that in all likelihood will continue their strong runs this year.
The one thing to remember is that there is always some unexpected new entry into the market. This is due to companies saving certain items and then shipping them at the last minute.
This creates a spectacle, complete with artificial scarcity, which in turn drives up prices. Now, let's take a look at some of the most popular Christmas toys of recent memory.
Nintendo Wii
Nintendo Wii. This was truly one of the great products of the decade. There were rumors that Nintendo was working on a new type of game console, but no one could really say what would differentiate it.
It turns out that the Wii is fun for the whole family, parents have Wii parties, boys and girls love the physicality of the games, and people of all ages enjoy its competitive capabilities.
This has been a great seller for the past few years since it entered the market. While there is no new Wii to buy, there are always new games and attachments. These could both make great gifts.
i(Anything). Apple has seemingly colonized the future of electronics. There was probably no more popular gadget than the iPod was all those years ago. Now with the iPhone and the iPad, there are even more options.
While most people have at least one if these items by now, there are always newer and flashier models being released. If you know someone who is a gadget aficionado, consider getting them an item from the iFamily of products.
While not toys in the strictest sense, any child over the age of six will try to convince you that the iFamily does have the most popular Christmas toys ever.
Barbie Dolls
Barbie. Believe it or not, Barbie dolls are still going strong after all these years. Just like the Frisbee, it seems Barbie will never fade away, and will only continue to be seen in new lights, to be used for new purposes.
It's unclear why Barbie has enjoyed such a resurgence of popularity recently, maybe it's because she never lost it? Either way, you have never had more options to choose from when it comes to these items.
There are the usual dolls with their luxurious peripherals such as condos and sports cars, but now there are interactive computer features as well.
These include online studios where you can design innovative fashion and hairstyles, and websites to keep track of individual choices. These three groups of the most popular Christmas toys are viable in their own right, but may also point the way to what will be popular this year.

Marc Holzman
Marc has been teaching Hatha yoga for well over a decade. Spending most of his life in Los Angeles and New York, he currently calls Paris his home. Certified in Anusara in 2006, his teaching has now evolved to include a number of styles that have influenced him on his yogic path: the movement of Vinyasa Flow, the precision of Iyengar, the dance of Kundalini, his deep love for mantra and meditation, and his passion for Ayurveda. Marc skillfully weaves themes through his classes in order for each student to experience a journey that goes beyond the body and pierces deeply into the Heart.
In 2007 he created Guerilla Yogi, a donation-based class that insures that students of all economic circumstances can experience the joy of yoga. When he is not in Paris, he teaches worldwide either live or via the many classes that are streamed through the internet on YogaGlo.
Several years ago, Marc underwent open-heart surgery, a literal and metaphorical heart-opening experience that deepened his belief that life, and specifically yoga, should be practiced with fullness, deep gratitude, and laughter. Marc bows in gratitude to the extraordinary souls who have guided him on his journey ~ most notably his beloved meditation and philosophy teacher Dr. Paul Muller Ortega and the Blue Throat Yoga community.
"A teacher meets a student wherever he is… but never leaves him there" [Dr. Paul Muller Ortega]
