No Experience Skating? No Problem! Register in August for the Fall Learn To Skate. Our Learn-to- Skate program is tailored to skaters who have little to no experience on the ice. The LTS program is for ages 6 and up. A NEW Tot Program is being offered! See the Tot Program Page for more details.
We flew into Chisinau not really knowing what to expect, and we were pleasantly surprised! The city doesn’t have many highlights, but there are some great restaurants and bars around.
For dinner we went to Gastrobar, a great place serving modern Middle Eastern cuisine, with plenty of veggie options. Make sure to reserve a table in advance. Dinner for two including drinks and tip for 1,000MDL.
We also visited Propaganda, a popular restaurant with quirky decor serving yummy food. A light dinner for two including drinks and top for 400MDL.
Wine: Moldovan wine is amazing and very cheap! Most restaurants and bars have a great wine list and you can find a good selection in supermarkets too.
Stay: We stayed in one of these apartments. It was spotless and ideally located.
One of the few places remaining for us to visit in Europe was Liechtenstein, so we flew into Zurich for the weekend to check it out.
We were really impressed by the food in Zurich. There are plenty of vegan and veggie options clearly labelled in most places. In supermarkets, vegan items are clearly labelled and options are plentiful.
Hiltl Haus: The oldest vegetarian restaurant in Europe is a popular place with a buffet and a la carte options. The food is varied a really delicious. Dinner for two including drinks and tip for 79CHF.
Stay: We stayed at Swiss Star Apartments, a good self-catering option located just 10 minutes from the Central Station.
Vaduz is a small town surrounded by picturesque snow-capped mountains. The main attraction is the walk from the centre up to Vaduz Castle. The castle itself is not open to tourists but the walk gives you the most amazing views.
Kunstmuseum: This modern art museum has a small but good selection of works in a nice space. Tickets for 15CHF.
Go: From Zurich to Vaduz in Liechtenstein the best option is to take a train to Sargans where you can get bus n. 11 to Vaduz. You can buy tickets online here (choose option Vaduz, Post, which includes the bus transfers), about one month in advance.
We were going to visit San Marino, so we decided to spend a couple of days in nearby Rimini.
Rimini is a riviera with sandy beaches overlooked by cool modernist hotels.
The Old Town is beautiful and includes a good collection of Roman and Medieval landmarks. It is also the birthplace of Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini.
For lunch we visited Bar Lento, a cool cafe serving delicious vegan snacks and drinks (lunch for two including tip for 18.50€).
Rimini is definitely a good place to visit and relax for a couple of days!
San Marino was one of the few European countries we hadn’t visited yet, so we decided to check in out in January.
It is located high up in the mountains, giving it amazing views over the region. Unfortunately when we visited the place was right in the middle of the clouds, and we couldn’t even see further than a few metres ahead.
We spent a few hours exploring the narrow roads and visiting the main towers, even without being able to see much.
For lunch, we stopped at Laminona, which serves piadinas and offered a few vegan options.
San Marino is picturesque and I’m sure we would have enjoyed it more on a sunny day!
Go: We flew to Bologna, where you can get semi-frequent buses from the airport to Rimini. You can reach San Marino from Rimini taking a regular bus which departs just outside the train station (return for 10€ per person). The trip takes 50 minutes each way.
This was another year full of adventures!
We kicked off the year with a weekend with friends in Edinburgh.
Then we headed to amazing South Africa for a wedding – we hung out with elephants and enjoyed the breathtaking views.
In March we braved the cold to discover fun Riga.
In April we travelled around Sicily, eating all sorts of treats along the way.
In May we relaxed in sunny Paphos, Cyprus.
Then we headed to Berlin for a weekend full of amazing vegan treats.
I went to Paris for a beautiful weekend of chilling in the sun.
In September we had an adventure in the Balkans: we visited Kosovo, Macedonia and Albania – a great trip!
In October we flew to Barcelona and took the train to Andorra.
I finished the year with Christmas in Rome!
Another year full of amazing adventures!
And I have big plans for 2019: I may actually finish visiting every single European country!
Practice: Sunday 5.00 to 6.00 followed by service ringing.
1st Sunday at various towers to be arranged, 3rd Sunday at Plymouth Emmanuel.
We are a society which was formed in early 2011 of young ringers aged 30 and under who ring in the Plymouth area.
The Society is now thriving with members aged 6 to 28, who meet every other week on a Sunday evening at one of the towers in Plymouth City Centre. This allows the Society to be giving back to the churches who allow them to ring there by ringing for Sunday evensong, and calling people to worship, which is after all the sole purpose of church bell ringing.
Practice nights are well attended with 14 or 15 at each practice, along with a positive atmosphere which makes ringing a pleasure.
As well as achieving a decent standard of striking, the society is focused on allowing members to “have a go” at methods that they have wanted to try in a non-intimidating environment. This has already seen results with members making rapid progress on plain hunt, and others having the chance to ring Stedman and touches of Cambridge. The Society has already made its mark by coming 3rd in a local striking competition, and we plan to go on to do bigger and greater things!
Our summer weekend away in 2011 to Thorpe Park and London went very well with a large group making the trip to the "Big Smoke" and especially enjoying ringing on the new bells at St Magnus. In 2012 we visited Alton Towers and rang at a few towers in Derbyshire.
With more exciting outings and events to happen in the pipeline, and always enjoyable practice nights, it seems Plymouth Youths is the place to be for young ringers! If any young people in the Plymouth area would like to join us, they are most welcome. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Sunday evening of the month at various towers so it is advisable to email first to find out where and when we are ringing.
In a sea of salads, Sunkissed Kitchen thought it was time to bring you some real comfort food this winter! A baked mac and cheese with a surprise layer of buffalo chicken — now that is a meal that we can totally get behind any day of the week. The combo of spicy and creamy is truly out of this world! This recipe is kept gluten free by using a gluten free pasta and then blended brown rice crackers for a crunchy, golden brown topping.
However, if you do not wish to have the gluten free element to the recipe, feel free to use traditional pasta and flower instead of arrowroot. Our Sharp Chef Michelle used a combination of Sharp appliances to create this tasty dish. The Sharp Induction Cooktop was a great tool when making the delicate cheese sauces and the Superheated Steam Countertop Oven was an excellent tool to bake the casserole in only 12 minutes! This recipe is a creamy comfort food classic elevated with a spicy buffalo chicken base! If you’re a mac and cheese lover like we are, this is not to be missed!
The New York Times on Thursday printed a special section featuring portraits of nearly every member of the record number of female lawmakers in Congress.
A viral Twitter thread from the Times’ design editor, Josh Crutchmer, includes a video of the covers the night before publication that has been viewed over 320,000 times as of Thursday morning.
The photos, which were taken on Capitol Hill over five days by Times photographers Elizabeth D. Herman and Celeste Sloman, are meant as “a testament to what power looks like in 2019,” according to the paper.
“Like the work of Kehinde Wiley, who painted Barack Obama Barack Hussein ObamaChina, Russia, Iran rise in Latin America as US retreats Castro wants to follow Obama's lead on balancing presidency with fatherhood Trump's regulatory rollback boosts odds of a financial crisis MORE’s official presidential portrait, these photographs evoke the imagery we are used to seeing in the halls of power, but place people not previously seen as powerful starkly in the frames,” the feature reads.
There are 131 women serving in the House and Senate this term, a record class that includes a number of other “firsts,” including the youngest woman elected to the House, the first two female Muslim lawmakers, and the first two Native American female lawmakers. “Redefining Representation” features 130 portraits – Rep.

My father, when he was young, was interested in becoming a musician. His father (my grandad) said no. So he became an engineer instead, but his deep love and longing of music never waned. My mom also, was on her way to becoming a piano virtuoso, but had to change course due to life and work circumstance. This was all before I was born. Right before my first birthday, my father passed away from liver cancer at the age of 49. It was his last wish that my mom and I go to New York for me to live, go to school and thrive.
Michal Jackson. There will never be another. I still can't really wrap my head around the fact that he's gone.
That, my friends, I cannot say :) ...But, the second most fun thing I've ever done is play on a float raft to thousands in a New York City parade.
I'd love to be in a cereal commercial. Lol. I don't know why, but it's been a silly dream of mine. Or a makeup commercial. Maybe that's more suitable. I'd love to go on an arena tour with another artist. I sang the National Anthem to 30,000 people at Staples Center and it was quite a rush. I can't imagine what singing my own songs to that many people - who know the words - might feel like.
Help Send a Leader to CLS and change their life.
Meet Justin, a 7-year leader and a recent graduate of Central Leaders School.
Justin’s CLS adventure began in 2010 as a 12-year-old as a 6th grader. He was really excited because, as one of the classes he takes during the week, he got to take Learn to Splash; a class that teaches the basics of a variety of swimming strokes, how to play water polo, how to do synchronized swimming and basic life-saving skills. He didn’t know how to swim but was very interested in learning. He had such a great time that he took it every year of the 7 years he attended Central Leaders School.
The confidence he gained from taking Learn to Splash inspired him to try out for his school swim team, train to become a lifeguard, and eventually get a job at his local YMCA lifeguarding. He says his experience was life-changing. “I had been through a lot, I grew up on the streets and the Leaders program kept me away from all that.” Justin received a scholarship to attend Harris-Stowe State University and is pursuing a degree in criminal justice.
Justin, like so many other leaders, could experience Leaders School because he received financial support from the Alumni Scholarship Fund, a fund that supports students who want to attend CLS but need assistance getting there. This fund would not exist without your generous support.
You can give a tax-deductible gift on the form below or via text by texting CLS to 71777 and following the prompts.
Thank you for enabling students like Justin to continue to be able to come to CLS and experience life-transforming experiences.
A man and a woman who were found in possession of vast quantities of substances commonly used in the production of Class A drugs have today (23 May 2017) been jailed at Carlisle Crown Court.
Alex Hardie, 53, of Bents Road, Baillieston, Glasgow was jailed for six years and eight months. Amanda Thomson, 37, of Shettleston Road, Glasgow, received a four-year jail sentence.
The court heard how Cumbria Constabulary officers stopped a BMW in Carlisle being driven by Hardie, with Thomson as a passenger.
Hardie claimed the pair had been to Blackpool but his behaviour caused officers to become suspicious and they searched the car. The officers found approximately 50kg of Benzocaine – a drug commonly used as a cocaine bulking agent by drug suppliers. They also found a further 50kg of a substance which was a mixture of caffeine and paracetamol – substances commonly used as heroin bulking agents.
The substances were found inside a number of barrels and bags being transported in the car.
The amounts of Benzocaine, caffeine and paracetamol could have been used in the production and had the potential to produce 50kg of cocaine and 50kg of heroin. Each kilo of heroin has the potential value of £50,000 to £100,000 and the cocaine at least £40,000 per kilo.
In his police interview, Hardie refused to give any comment to the questions asked of him.
Thomson supplied a statement in which she denied any knowledge of the substances being in the car or any involvement in drug supply but refused to answer any questions.
Both Hardie and Thomson denied a charge of being concerned in the supply of heroin and cocaine but pleaded guilty at court.
Detective Constable David Hetherington said: “This was a vast quantity of substances which we know are used as bulking agents for cocaine and heroin in order that the dealers can increase their profits.

Original article (Justice Named WBB Head Coach) on the Sam Houston State University’s athletic website gobearkats.com.
Sam Houston State has named Ravon Justice as its 10th women’s basketball head coach in the 48-year history of the program. Justice joins the Bearkats after two successful seasons as the head coach at Prairie View A&M, her first two years as a head coach.
As a head coach at Prairie View A&M, she helped resurrect and refocus the once prominent women’s basketball program. In her first year, she had a school record five non-conference wins against teams from Conference USA, the Southland and the MEAC. Justice was able to lead the Panthers to an 11-2 home record in her first season along with coaching a second team all-SWAC selection and second team Box-To-Row All American selection in Alexus Parker.
This past season, the Panthers posted a 12-6 SWAC record, a five-game improvement from the season before, and missed earning a share of the league title by one game. She led the team to the SWAC semifinals for the first time in three seasons.
Prior to coaching at PV, Justice was an assistant coach at the University of Houston. In Justice’s first year at Houston in 2010-11, the Cougars enjoyed one of their finest seasons in program history, posting a 26-6 overall record and returning to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since the 2004-05 season.
With Justice’s guidance, Houston point guard Porsche Landry earned Conference USA first team honors and became only the fourth player in Cougars’ women’s basketball histo­ry to tally more than 1,000 points and 300 assists during her career. Justice also made an immediate impact on the recruiting trail after taking over those duties following the 2010-11 sea­son, as various recruiting services such as Dan Olson’s Collegiate Girls Basketball Report (No. 22) and ESPN HoopGurlz (No. 39) ranked the early six-player class that signed in November of 2011 among the nation’s top-40 recruiting hauls.
Justice joined the University of Houston staff after five sea­sons as an assistant at Houston Baptist. Before helping the Huskies’ team transition from the NAIA to the NCAA’s Division I classification, Justice was a part of the 2005-06 team that completed an undefeated run to the Red River Athletic Confer­ence’s regular season and tournament championships. HBU repeated as tournament champions the following season.
The Huskies also made two trips to the NAIA Division I tournament during Justice’s tenure with the team, including a trip to the quarterfinals in 2007.
During her own collegiate playing career, Justice attended Nicholls for one year before transferring to Clarendon College. As a Lady Bulldog, she was named a junior college All-American in addition to receiving Western Junior College Athletic Conference Player of the Year honors.
Justice earned her bachelor’s degree in sociology from USAO in 2004 and received her master’s degree in liberal arts from Houston Baptist in 2009.

Star midfielder Yaya Toure will be at Manchester City for the club's Premier League title defence.
The Ivory Coast international, 31, had been linked with a move away from the champions throughout the close-season.
Despite all the speculation, Toure said he wanted to see out his contract, which expires in mid-2017.
"There has been a lot of speculation but they [City] have always been good with me and good with my family," he told Sky Sports News on Saturday.
