First time trying Prana stretch Zion and cannot be happier. Can any pants be more comfortable than these and still look so good and sharp? I will definitely buy more when they are on sale.
The incredible shrinkable pants
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: 33x32
Really loved these the first time I tried them on. After several washings the length shrunk and they no longer can be worn unless I can stretch them back out. These are supposed to keep their shape and not shrink. Disappointed for sure and will order extra length and waist size if ever order these again. True to size (Prior to washing and drying)

Prana gives a damn
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: 32x30
Prana came into backcountry today and did a clinic with a few of us gearheads. I already love my stretch zion pants, and here's a couple more reasons to buy prana. The clothing industry is one of the biggest polluters in the world, and prana is doing something about it by making absolute sure that from seed to shirt, their practices are truly organic and sustainable. Since they stopped using plastic bags to shirt their clothing (its rolled and wrapped in twine), prana has NOT used 10 million bags. That's the weight of 25 blue whales in plastic, that's not been added to the degradation of our only planet.
You're probably wearing something cotton on you right now, do you know where it came from? Did getting that product to you help the earth or hurt it?
For additional questions on prana, questions on gear, or if you don't yet have a personal gearhead, hit me up!
My go to pants

Love these pants. I have three pair. Have had my first pair for three years now. Wear them hiking and scrambling. Good quality pants. No issues with fit or quality.
Nearly Perfect

- Size Bought: 32 x30
I bought both these and the convertibles and they are my "go to's" anytime I go backpacking. I have put these through many miles on and off the trail. They have not disappointed at all. On bushwhacks they have handled thickets of holly and saw briers and scrambles over sandstone ledges and boulders that have ruined other pants. Slogged through soggy bottoms without getting myself a soggy bottom too, which was impressive. Comfortable in subfreezing temps with a lightweight baselayer and on their own when it's 40F plus (the crotch grommets are useless for venting but I don't have an issue with that). The fit was spot on. Choose your jean size and they should match up perfectly. My only complaints are the short zipper (seems even shorter on the convertibles) and the back pockets are useless. If you're a fan of the "tug, pee, and tuck" method you may want to be a little more cautious zipping up or you could wind up in a "There's Something About Mary" situation. The back pockets are not very secure and could use a zip or button so don't even think of putting your wallet in them. Even with that in mind, I still couldn't be happier with the Zion's.
Like taylor made

So off of previous reviews I purchased a pair of Zion Pants. I am no where near disappointed. They fit as if they were taylor made. Prana puts great quality and detail in their clothes. Thank you Back Country for carrying great products.
The Right Gear

- Size Bought: 32 W 30 I
I haven't put a lot of miles on these pants so I'll have to defer to others on durability. I will jump on the bandwagon when it comes to the other aspects of these pants. The Zion DWR fabric is very stretchy and resists moisture. Both very important for back country activities. The fit and design are spot on. After getting my first pair I went a head and purchased a second.
Pocket configuration, the integrated belt and the fabric weight are the best compared to other quality pants I use for similar outdoor activities.
Prana has a winner here.
These are awesome

I normally climb in the South where it is hot all the time. But this Christmas I went up North. I needed a pair of pants to climb in a gym, well because climbing in your underwear is frowned upon in most places.
These pants fit me perfectly. They are just a little stretchy so you can stretch them a little. And I am only a little stretchy myself. I don't yoga in case you were wondering.
I had a button pop off within the first month. Backcountry hemmed and hawed a little about replacing them because I bought them on sale. So I just called Prana directly, and Prana replaced them.

Really great pants, run a little long though. I usually wear a 32x32 but had to go down a size to 32x30 as they were really long. Great pants, baggier than I usually wear but really light and comfortable.
The Pants

You must have read my review on the shorts. Good job, you're smarter than a certain wool shirt.
Got my first pair of these bad boys years ago. They've been through the wringer. They're my every day pants, climbing pants, hiking pants, backpacking pants, comfy wear them on the plane pants, I haven't done laundry in a month *sniff* they don't smell too bad pants.
I see people climb in jeans all the time and I'm mystified. Stymied. I wonder why they don't grow up and head to Zion. These pants are stretchy, breathable, a hit with the laides, and probably in no small part to the super hip cuff roll up snap feature to keep your cuffs out of the way of your sick heel hooks.
I have four pairs of these pants and will probably weep if they ever discontinue them. But then, why would they? Right?
Favorite pants year round
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I live in the PNW, and when I'm not - I'm traveling to areas where breathability and durability are must haves for clothing. These are also my favorite pants for climbing 0 I own several pairs.
These pants are excellent for rock climbing, long hikes with moderately cool or cold weather, gym sessions, snow shoe trips (layered), snowy days, rainy days, parent-teacher conferences, dinner, brunch, travel, airports, etc. These pants feel and look great no matter where you are or are going.
If it's hot - I recommend getting the shorts - these are some of the most versatile pants for travelers and people who spend time outdoors doing little or many activities.
Light, but warmer than expected
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: 30x30
I'll start off by saying that one of the snaps for rolling up the pant legs broke immediately when testing it out. I haven't bothered to try the other one for fear of it breaking too. That doesn't bode well for the durability of these pants in my mind. The snaps are cheap plastic.
The pants are pretty light, but are surprisingly warm. I wore them in 40F windy weather with a pair of thermals underneath and they were pretty good at keeping me from getting cold. The waist cinch is great for adjusting the size to fit snugly, the pockets are nicely sized, not overly large.
The ability to roll up the pant legs in warmer weather is nice. You can only roll them to mid-calf though, and have to be very gingerly with the cuff snaps. They will break very easily.
They dry relatively quickly, and aren't heavy at all when wet.
The $80+ price tag is a bit high in my opinion, especially considering how easily a part of them broke already.
Good all around pants
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: 32X30
Bought these for my husband. Here is what he had to say--
These pants are great for just about anything. I wore them climbing and hiking so far. Great range of motion and love the snaps on the legs for use when climbing. Worn in the winter only so far so not sure how they are in the spring yet. I would highly recommend this product. "
A stated by a few reviews these pants now run slightly longer. Can this be confirmed by more people/gearheads before I place my order?
For reference, I typically wear 32x32 and the 32L usually drags on the floor for me but I like the look with shoes. However, I would not want it to drag too much like a 33L.
I had a chance to try at a nearby REI that did not have it available earlier. In my opinion, the length is, in fact, longer than a standard 32L. There is about the same amount of "crimple" found in other ~34L pants. The 30L's seemed more like a ~31L which is the size I will be getting.
I'm usually a 29 waist, but these pants are only offered in a 28 or 30 waist size. Do people recommend that I get them a little small or large? I see that they have a belt of some kind, so I'm thinking large, but I want to make sure.
I bought a pair in size S/32 a year ago and they fit perfectly. Would a 31/32 be a comparable fit after the change to numerical sizing? Also, is it true that they changed the fit to be baggier in the legs as another reviewer mentioned?
Hope not, they were perfect...
Prana appears to make these in a 36 length as well. Can these be ordered through backcountry as well?
Last year I bought Prana stretch zion pants with size M 32. but I noticed Prana Pants size system changed. So I wonder which size one I shoud choose for me. 32x 32 or 33 x 32?
Hey Bumtae - Prana did change their sizing for this year. I have an old L-34 and the 34x34 fit me best in the new Stretch Zions. There is still the adjustment strap in the waist so maybe the 33x32 will be best for you. Feel free to contact me directly with any additional questions.
- Kyle L. - Expert Gearhead
I want to get my husband a pair of these. As long as I've known him, he's been 32x32 (medium) in every brand and everything, but Prana's size chart leads me to believe he'd need a small (waist size "30"). Can anyone verify or clarify this? He usually wears his pants a bit tight, but this might be due to his soccer player build.
I guess I'm wondering if all the reviewers who say it fits "true to size" mean according to Prana's size chart, or according to their normal size...these are obviously different.
Hey Stella,
If he is a 32x32 get him a Medium 32. I am a 32" waist and wear a medium in these pants. I think the Prana size chart is a off for these pants. Let me know if you have any other questions.
What does the number indicate after the letter? Is that the inseam or waist? i.e. a S-30 will get me a waist of 32 but a length of 30 and a S-32 will get me a 32/32?
The S is for the waist size and the number is the inseam length. For a 32" waist you could go with either a M or S depending on how you want them to fit. The adjustable waist belt will fine tune the fit for you.
Any ladies out there that rock these for climbing (or otherwise?) I'm in the market for some climbing pants, not partial to mens clothes, but here they are, and one sale. .. men's prana has fit me in the past, just curious about ladies experience with these pants. thanks!
I can't answer your question but I thought I would mention that there is a women's version called the Halle Pant - http://www.backcountry.com/prana-halle-pant-womens?s=a
Thanks Jeremy! I'm aware of the Halle, hadn't seen it on sale, will consider- but doesn't come in brick and blue (what's with that!?). I have been partial to flashier colors lately, they're so much fun!
Yes, I wear both the pants and shorts and love them! The shorts do look a little like you're wearing men's pants (they sometimes get some weird bunching in the front when I sit down) but I don't care because they're so comfortable and functional. I have a muscular posterior and can't stand women's pants that are so low rise. FYI, I'm 5'4" and wear a women's large in most pants, and the M-30 fits well...just a little long, so I roll them up a little.
I'm a short guy that typically wears a 28"-29" inseam. What are my options here, cuff the bottoms of a pair of 30"?
Hi Raymond,
the 30" inseam is the shortest for the Stretch Zion Pant. I know a few people in your situation that have used a few different options. First you can always spend $10-$20 and get them professionally hemmed. Second option would be to buy some hem tape. There is either the iron on version or the super sticky version. Usually about $5.
I want to buy these for my husband but how can you tell which inseam is which? He is a 32X30
The S/M/L is the Waist Size and the number is the length. Depending on how he likes them to fit he could wear a small or a medium.
Hi, these look great for my boyfriend who enjoys camping and climbing. He's 5'8, 135 pounds, 30" waist. Which size should I order?? thanks!
I would say a small waist then pick the right inseam length. They come in three inseams 30, 32, 34.
The small will definitely be on the looser/baggier side; I'm 5'11, 155 and a size small feels a touch loose on me. My boyfriend who's about the same dimensions as yours wears an extra-small and they fit him really nicely. Remember, these are stretchy. Hope this helps.
Definitely the XS. I am 5'7, 137 pounds and the XS 30 is a perfect fit.
I have a couple pairs of size small Stretch Zion shorts. Can I expect similar sizing and fit in the pants?
Cody, it will be the same sizing!
Is it possible to find the claimed weight of this pants?
Trevor, the pants weigh 0.9 lbs in a medium.
If you have anymore questions feel free to send me an email or call!
Bill Porreca
I'm a 33 waist 32 length. 6'0'' 200lbs. What would you recommend for sizing?
John, a medium-32 should work.
If you have anymore questions feel free to send me an email or call!
Bill Porreca
Are any of the pockets zippered and if so, which ones? Is the belt removable?
So the cargo pocket on the left thigh has a zippered pocket. Zippered on top and on side for dual access.
The belt is non-removable.
Shoot me an email anytime you have questions!
Jared D.
Expert Gearhead
Does Prana make pants like this for ladies? A comparable pant?
The Halle pant would be the comparable pant in the women's line:
There are also a couple of zip off versions called the Monarch and the Sage convertible.
I'm 5'9' 140 lbs, what size should I get? Pretty consistently a waist 32 across other brands. Sounds like prana has been changing up the sizing. My older prana pants from ~2005 say M on the tag, and I think it was either 32 or 30 inseam....they fit very well.
No question?
Please email me if you have XS - 30...
Please email me if you have XS - 30 Charcoal.
We do not currently have that size and color in stock. We do not have an order for those from Prana. I'm not sure if we will be carrying that size.
Did they change the fit of these pants...
Did they change the fit of these pants this year? I bought a pair last year that had a slimmer fit. I just bought the same size pair last month and they were baggy.
Yes, they made them bigger! L used to be doable, but a little big for me, now they were huge. M fit fine now whereas they were tight in the hips in the past. I have always worn a M in the shorts, though.
Can you special order the xs size?
Can you special order the xs size?
We do sometimes have the XS in stock but unfortunatley none at the moment, and at present we are not able to backorder Prana products.

What is ANZAC Day?
ANZAC Day commemorates the date of the landings on the Gallipoli Peninsula by Australian and New Zealand forces on 25 April 1915. The Gallipoli campaign lasted eight months in which New Zealand suffered heavy losses against Ottoman forces with 5212 wounded and 2779 deaths. When Allied troops were finally evacuated from the area on 15 – 20 December 1915, the contested territory at Gallipoli remained within Ottoman possession.
Gallipoli was the first major campaign with large casualties for New Zealand servicemen during WWI. The Gallipoli experience imbued the country with a sense of pride that our soldiers had fought hard under difficult conditions on the world stage. It is often seen as a key moment in the formation of New Zealand's national identity.
For more than 100 years after it was first observed on 25 April 1916, the significance of ANZAC Day continues to evolve alongside each generation. As a national day of remembrance it is often seen as a time to honour our returned soldiers and to commemorate the lives of New Zealanders killed during periods of war and combat. Within a contemporary context, ANZAC Day is also seen as a time to reflect on war and peace, our country's involvement in international conflict and our identity as New Zealanders.

Vehicles can be seen at the scene of the accident and homicide early Saturday morning on W. Fuqua at S. Sam Houston Parkway
An 8-year-old girl survived a auto crash in Texas only to be shot and killed moments later.
The crash and subsequent shooting took place on West Fuqua Street near Sam Houston Parkway.
According to police, the drivers of the Pontiac and the sedan then got out of their vehicles and began firing. The 8-year-old girl was identified as DeMaree Atkins, who was inside of the black Honda Accord.
DeMaree Atkins was transported to a local hospital by paramedics, where she was later pronounced dead.
Authorities are searching for the drivers of the Pontiac and the dark sedan after they fled the scene of the crime. "She never even knew what happened". Thomas remembers asking her daughter after the accident. The child was traveling with her mother, Toyia Thomas, and police believe they were just bystanders.
"I looked over and thought she was trying to help", she told ABC 13.
Trump Will Issue New Guidelines on Treatment of Transgender Students
On Feb. 22, a draft document of the Trump's administration's new guidance on transgender student rights was obtained by reporters. Children figuring out their gender identity need to be supported, not shamed.
"I was going through the light and through my peripheral vision I could see a auto coming at a high rate of speed", Thomas said. That was when Thomas saw there was blood on her daughter's jacket. Thomas said the third vehicle came up after the initial crash. "I couldn't stop", Thomas said.
"I love you and I wish I could hug and kiss you. comb your hair", she said crying.
'She loved to go shopping too. She was an honor roll student who was just beginning to learn how to play the violin.
Police continue looking for the drivers of the Pontiac and the sedan and say they are still trying to determine a motive.
'We just don't know'. Wish I could polish her nails, her toenails.
The white Pontiac that crashed into Thomas' vehicle was left abandoned at the scene of the fatal shooting.

Graham Sansom UTS Centre for Local Government
Councils exist in systems of government Local government is government: Not an industry or business or lobby group or local club Not just service delivery Complexity and changing functions are inevitable Core business is very difficult to define Inter-government relations are fundamental Local leaders must understand state and federal systems and learn how to manage relationships Local government itself is a system Elements must be in sync to get good outcomes and build capacity
Australias federation at a crossroads? A federation in name only? Commonwealth financial dominance (80% 0f tax) States lack meaningful autonomy (even GST not guaranteed) Commonwealth decisions are critical to regional development, infrastructure, metro planning etc Significant capacity differentials between states Questionable future of SA and Tasmania Implications for State-local relations? Forthcoming White Paper Will the Abbott government turn back the clock? Budget and COA messages for local government Not just medium-term cuts in FAGs? End of a 40 year relationship with Canberra?
Constitution vs reality? State Commonwealth State Local Commonwealth Local But will Local stay there?
NSW Review Panel 2012-13 Options for governance models, structural arrangements boundary changes: To improve the strength and effectiveness of local government To drive key strategic directions in Destination 2036 and the NSW 2021 State Plan Goal: A more sustainable system of democratic local government that has added capacity to address the needs of local and regional communities, and to be a valued partner of State and Federal Governments.
Context 152 councils, about half <10,000 population Climate of fiscal restraint Financial difficulties facing State and LG, especially infrastructure backlogs, revenue shortfalls Static or declining federal support Declining populations across most of inland NSW, but growing regional capitals Increasing imbalance/inequity between LGAs Importance of Sydney as a global city Vital importance of the regional dimension: Capacity building in non-metro areas State-local cooperation (agencies cannot/will not deal with 152 councils effectively)
Relative levels of rates Local Government Area Average Residential Land Value 2011/12 ($) Average Residential Rates 2011/12 ($) Rates as % of Land Value 2011/12 Woollahra1,036,8981,0060.10 Ku-ring-gai529,4125910.11 North Sydney366,0434840.13 Waverley563,8327960.14 Kogarah446,2708870.20 Palerang237,7707700.32 Penrith229,6349570.42 Blacktown183,7638080.44 Clarence Valley152,4497840.51 Campbelltown154,3488170.53 Bathurst100,4038100.81 Albury115,1281,0450.91 Warrumbungle30,6484521.47 Broken Hill28,8026742.40
Strategic capacity Fundamental goal was to enhance strategic capacity Securing LGs future in troubled times Coping with complexity and unpredictable change More robust revenue base (static/declining grants: stronger councils must be more self-sufficient) Scope to undertake new functions/major projects Ability to employ wider range of skilled staff Knowledge, creativity and innovation Credible and real partner for State and federal agencies Panel was NOT focused on economies of scale/cost savings LG as government, not just service delivery
Strategic Capacity Relevance Role in system of government Wider agendas Places and communities Credibility Political renewal Mayors Benchmarking Leadership by larger councils Resources Finance/asset management Rates Skills (inc strategy, policy, IGR)
A package of proposals Structural reform necessary, but just one element Need to balance increased capacity with keeping the local Three components: some amalgamations (esp metro Sydney), strong regional organisations, new forms of local governance Other complementary proposals including: Fiscal responsibility agenda (including audit) Improvements to the rating system (equity issues) Re-distribution of grant funding State-wide finance agency Better governance (eg role of mayors) Consistent data and benchmarking Changes in State-local relationships
Joint Organisations Voluntary ROCs, alliances patchy, vulnerable, limited in scope Proposed mandatory organisations/shared services: But flexible arrangements (individual proclamations) Proposed core functions: Strategic regional and sub-regional planning Regional advocacy and inter-governmental relations Collaboration on key infrastructure (water utilities, road network planning, major projects) Regional economic development Library services High level corporate services Integration with State regional coordination system
Member Councils Governing Body (Mayors plus others as agreed) Subsidiaries: Existing County Councils; Regional Water Alliance; Shared Services; Others Inter- Government Relations Regional Strategic Planning Other Activities Regional Partnerships: Roads and Transport Group; Strategic Planning; Others Shared Services Centres of Excellence Other Key Stakeholders RGM and Secretariat Statements of Intent Partnership Agreements
Reviewing the evidence No single right approach to structural reform: Amalgamations and shared services/regional collaboration both have role to play Both may succeed or fail Fundamental questions concern: Role of local government (maximalist government or back to basics service deliverer?) Objectives of reform (enhance capacity or cost savings?) Process is critical: Sound information base? Consultative? Proper pre- planning? Robust governance arrangements? Applies equally to amalgamations and shared services Hoffmans paper to FOLG 2013
Amalgamation Boundary Change Shared Services Regional Collaboration Efficiency and Economies of Scale Strong link Potential strong link: depends on re-shaping of councils Strong linkWeak link Strategic Capacity Strong link As above – benefits for larger new council/s Medium-strong link subject to governance Weak link Service Improvement and Innovation Strong linkAs above Strong link for services that are effectively shared Depends on nature and scope of collaboration Potential Diminution of Local Democracy Distinct risk, but can be managed Some risk – can be managed Risk where decision- making ceded to joint agency Little or no risk
Amalgamations Benefits are not automatic: Amalgamations dont always deliver efficiencies/savings, can be disruptive and costly No straight line link between size and efficiency (Dollery et al studies) May be a difference between forced and voluntary mergers (Dollery et al), but most likely process is the key A wide range of studies (ACELG, Dollery et al, Hoffman and Talbot) do point to significant benefits: Economies of scale Economies of scope and increased capacity Enhanced sustainability
…continued Tileys 2010 study of Clarence Valley (2004 forced merger) The larger organisation has been able to increase outputs and projects that were beyond the capacity of the former councils … CVC has developed the capacity to deliver services over a wider footprint than its LGA…there is sufficient evidence to suggest that the financial strength and stability of CVC is now greater than that of each of the former councils … …the weight of empirical evidence … proves that the economic benefits have outweighed the fiscal disadvantages of this amalgamation… at least from a fiscal standpoint, bigger is indeed better, but not obviously cheaper.(emphasis added)
QTC review of 2007-8 amalgamations Costs were indeed substantial: the 24 councils involved claimed a total cost of $184.71m But QTCs assessment reduced this figure to $47.21m, largely by excluding discretionary decisions to adopt the wage and salary levels of the previously highest paying council QTC argued that additional costs would be progressively offset by savings – but savings were often ploughed back into improved services rather than made explicit All the councils had the financial capacity to meet the costs of amalgamation, which represented only 0.3-1.5% of operating revenues (or perhaps 1.2-6%?)
Shared services Given that compulsory council consolidation seldom achieves its intended aims, and given that scale and scope economies do exist in some specific local government services… the best way to achieve larger scale economies in these selected functional areas is for councils to enter into collaborative shared services agreements… (Dollery et al 2012) … it is important not to oversell this message by way of exaggerated claims for what shared services models can realistically achieve … shared services models have their limitations which must be recognised. (ibid) … the degree of success varied considerably from case to case … there are often significant barriers to the implementation of shared service arrangements, which are difficult to overcome, including the loss of local identity, the complexity of the processes involved, conflicting objectives between participating councils and uncertainty surrounding potential benefits. (Dollery et al 2011) Findings confirmed by ILGRP research into ROCs Failure of NESAC in NSW
Joint Board model Dollery and Johnson 2007: … the retention of autonomous existing councils and their current spatial boundaries, but with a shared administration and operations overseen by a joint board of elected councillors from each of the member municipalities. In essence, constituent councils would each retain their current political independence, thus preserving extant local democracy, while simultaneously merging their administrative staff and resources into a single enlarged bureau, in an attempt to reap any scale economies, scope economies, or other benefits that may derive from a larger aggregated administration.
Conclusions Local government faces an uncertain future: Growing fiscal constraints Shifting inter-government arrangements It will need to enhance its capacity, its independence, and its credibility as a valuable part of our federal system Further structural reform has an important role to play in this endeavour Such reform will be multi-dimensional: Drawing battle-lines between amalgamations, shared services and other approaches is pointless and damaging We need a mature conversation about what type of reform to apply in what circumstances, and sound processes to make those decisions

Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are up to their feuding ways again. Tired of playing second fiddle to Bugs, Daffy has decided to leave the Studio for good. He is aided by Warner Bros.' humor impaired Vice President of Comedy, Kate Houghton, who releases him from his contract and instructs WB security guard/aspiring stunt man DJ Drake to capture and "escort" Daffy off the studio lot. Suddenly a sidekick without a hero, the duck decides to ally himself with DJ, whether he likes it or not. Consequently, Daffy is on the scene when DJ discovers that his famous movie star father was Damian Drake, known for playing suave international spies onscreen, is actually a suave international spy in real life–and has been kidnapped by the evil insane nerdy, prancing villain known as Mr. Chairman of the equally nefarious Acme Corporation. It seems that Damian knows the whereabouts of the mysterious magical and powerful Blue Monkey Diamond, and the Chairman will do anything to get his hands on it! With …

Happy New Year! With our first month of 2017 officially in the books, Warren Community Unit School District 205 is focusing on increasing our community engagement this year. Therefore, we will be writing a monthly article to discuss what has been going on in our district. Additionally, we will be looking to spread our vision and core values throughout the community. We will be delivering posters to local businesses that describe our vision and core values. If our team does not catch your business and you would like to display a poster, please contact the school and we will get you one as soon as possible. The community is an essential stakeholder in regards to our school district in addition to the students, staff, parents, and board of education. While school districts are considered the heartbeat of their communities, we strive to do our best to ensure that you have a school district that you take the utmost amount of pride.
This past month has been exciting at Warren CUSD 205. Teachers came back a day before students from break and examined their courses in relation to the New Illinois Learning Standards. We identified the strengths and weaknesses in our curricula to make necessary adjustments to best support the needs of our students. In addition, students completed their second of three phases of MAP testing, which we use to track progress and curve our teaching in the areas of math, reading, language arts, and science. Notably, one of our students, Analiesa Harbach, participated in the Illinois Music Education Association Honors Choir on January 28 in Peoria. She represented the top 1.5% of music students in the state, while representing our school district during this prestigious music experience. Another student, Kaitlyn Lozada, won our school district's National Geographic Bee, is now in the running for a chance to compete at the world competition.
Finally, I would like to thank our county, local businesses, and consumers in regards to the county school facility sales tax. This facility sales tax is for one percent on qualifying retail purchases. This facility sales tax generated over $200,000 of revenue last year for the district to update our facilities. This source of funding can be used in multiple ways to improve our facility and help pay off building bonds. It cannot be used for salaries, benefits, instructional costs, textbooks, computers, movable equipment, school buses, or operating costs. Our hope is that this source of revenue will help us maintain a safe learning environment that is conducive to student learning.
Additionally, as we complete our ten-year health life safety resurvey this year, we hope our recent updates limit the amount of required improvements that will need to be completed by the school district. I encourage you to visit our building and see the recent updates in our gymnasium, parking lot, hallways, and many other areas that we were able to complete through this source of funding. This spring, we plan to break ground on the adjacent lot purchased by the district to erect a greenhouse using this funding along with multiple donations collected by our FFA Alumni. Ultimately, this source of funding will help the district keep our building updated to lessen the burden on taxpayers within our district.
During the month of February, our doors will be open on February 8, as our Servant Leaders will be hosting a blood drive in the gymnasium. Our spelling bee will take place on February 9 along with an assembly hosted by the Dubuque Fighting Saints hockey team. In addition, our students will sing the national anthem for the Dubuque Fighting Saints at their game on February 24. If you are interested in attending any of these events, please stop by the school.
The Dubuque Fighting Saints hockey team have set aside February 24th as Warren Elementary night. Students, families, and friends are able to purchase discounted tickets at $10/ticket with a portion of the proceeds being donated to the school. Contact the school office to purchase your tickets and they will be at will call waiting for you on game day. Parents will have to provide transportation to this event. All students are required to sit with their parents.
On this special night, the 2nd – 5th grade students will be performing the national anthem at the start of the game. Please wear RED to support the Fighting Saints and your Warren Warriors. (We'd say wear orange & black, but the opposing team's colors are orange & black so we don't want to discourage our hosts).
Remember, all students MUST be accompanied by an adult at the game. Come out for a fun night of hockey and Warrior/Saint spirit!
We hope to see you there!
Due to the possible weather and road conditions for this evening, all after school activities for tonight, January 11th, have been canceled. Please stay safe out there!

Changing The WordPress Admin Login Logo
By default the WP admin area for your WordPress blog is branded with the WordPress logo. This can be confusing to your visitors if one minute they are on your site and they click 'login' and are taken to WordPress login. If your are planning on utilizing the many benefits to operating a WordPress membership site then this is a feature you'll for sure want to remove.
To remove the WP admin logo, follow these easy steps:
- Login to your sites ftp or cPanel file manager and locate wp-admin / images folder. You'll notice two .gif files titled:
- logo.gif (65 x 66)
- logo-login.gif (310 x 70)
An efficient way to replace them is to create your own transparent gif logos in adobe photoshop or illustrator beforehand, and make them to the exact size and give them the same file name. This way you can just upload and click yes to replace the wordpress files and job done.

This review was first published in March 1997
Al's Cafe-bar sounds like the sort of greasy spoon every market would have. But at Al's, where you can order an Ocean Breeze cocktail, start a meal with toasted garlic ciabatta bread with melted mixed cheeses and go on to grilled shark steak with cannellini beans and baby spinach and finish with pasteis de nata (Portuguese custard tart) you suddenly clock that Exmouth Market, off Rosebery Avenue, is close to Clerkenwell. All those loft-livers must be fed and watered.
Time Out magazine made Al's the winner of its best budget meal for 1995. The place is certainly popular. Booking ahead is wise even if it seems rather absurd in the circumstances. Taped music is loud on the ground floor and in the basement a live band plays or, anyway, it did of a Thursday evening.
We decided to spurn the fashionable elements in the food and chose Cumberland sausage with bubble and squeak and caramelised onions and an 8oz beef burger made from imported beef served with cheese and bacon.Cumberland sausages should be highly seasoned and rough textured, attributes the sausages at Al's signally lacked. The onions had that aroma and flavour usually only achieved on hot dog stands. "Very national meat," said my companion gloomily about his burger. Perhaps these days one should stick to the shark steak or what at Al's is described as the Super Big Veggie all-day breakfast; two eggs, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, bubble and squeak, plantain and two slices of toast with a choice of tea, coffee, cappuccino, hot chocolate or fresh fruit juice.

September 1st and Firsts
On Saturday we took August to her first birthday party, it was also her first time in a bathing suit and in a kiddie pool. She sat in the warm water with my help for all of 15 minutes then it was time to sing to the birthday girl.
I watched the birthday girl, sitting at her high chair, take her two tiny hands into the pile of frosting then into her mouth. Seemed to be her first time eating cake. Only a year old and still looked every bit a baby. I don't know what I expected. I seem to always be surprised at how teenie one year olds are.
Today we realized our four month old is sill a "baby-baby". Everyone keeps saying she is so big, growing fast, already getting teeth, ready to crawl, ready for solid foods... We even attempted to sit her in a high chair! The truth is: she can't get her legs up to crawl, she can only wobble, clutching, white fisted, for dear life onto our fingers. All that drooling still pours from a very toothless mouth. High chairs are on hold until she can sit upright, by herself.
These last four months have felt like a year already and I love that. It has been slow. I've been warned it all goes too fast. So, I take it all in, linger over her smiles, gurgles and laughs. I stare at her and can see her Papi's gestures and expressions. I swoon. I'll make funny noises and sing songs for who knows how long, I am not watching the time. Everything else just has to wait, housework is slow going.
All will come in time. My grandmother is the only one who keeps telling me, "Mija, she is a baby, baby, let her rest, she is in a new world."

At the ongoing Belarus Fashion Week in Minsk, Russian designer Alesya Kocheneva showcased an interesting line of one-piece, midriff-baring bikinis, accessorised with a short, printed sarong.
A frilly bust piece of the same fabric served as a neckpiece. The colour used was deep aubergine, with a matching printed fabric on it. The clever styling made the look hot, and definitely a must-try for fashionistas.

Chorus-less Massive Attack
Massive Attack never write choruses into their songs.
The group's Robert '3D' Del Naja said because they aren't conventional musicians they never set about song writing in a normal way, leading to their eclectic and cinematic style.
Robert said: "We never wrote proper songs with choruses. Our most successful song, 'Unfinished Sympathy' was written after we took the chorus out of it and put the orchestral parts in.
"I think what works is that the people's voices and personalities are more important than the choruses with the person putting something even more intriguing into it."
The Bristol-based group is also famed for working with an eclectic number of musicians, and said often the creative input of someone outside of the group can breathe new life into an old track, or one they feel stuck with.
Robert, 45, added to website The Quietus: "Sometimes we have lost faith in a track and someone comes in and says I like that and it works again. We have discarded a lot of stuff over the years. Ultimately it's the chemistry of people.
"Damon Albarn works in an impulsive, spontaneous way. When the moment's passed, the moment's passed. With him it's not trawling through ideas to make them work. When we got to his studio we put ourselves in his headspace, which was good for us because it was a different way of working. It was not our normal Bristolian vortex."
The groups latest album, 'Heligoland' features Damon, Elbow singer Guy Garvey, Martina Topley-Bird and long-standing contributor Horace Andy.

Ari is involved in building next-generation training systems, cloud-based learning, records management, automation of high-liability training operations, and pervasive readiness technologies. He is a committee member of the National Congress for Secure Communities and an advisory board member of IADLEST. He has consulted for Federal Agencies, Homeland Security, Public Safety, Military, and Law Enforcement on technology, security, legally defensible records, compliance, and training.
Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) has called the attack on two federal agents in Mexico a "game changer" and said the United States should respond to acts of violence against our citizens with force.
McCaul identified the cartel responsible for the attack as the Zetas, and said cartel members knew Special Agents Jaime Zapata and Victor Avilia of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement were Americans. The agents identified themselves as U.S. diplomats, after stopping at a military style checkpoint, while traveling between Mexico City and Monterrey.
"This was an intentional ambush against two United States federal agents, which I view as an attack against the United States," McCaul said in a statement. "U.S. law enforcement has operated in Mexico for more than two decades without threat of violence from drug cartels."
McCaul went on to say, "This tragic event is a game changer. The United States will not tolerate acts of violence against its citizens or law enforcement, and I believe we must respond forcefully. This should be a long overdue wake-up call for the Obama administration that there is a war on our nation's doorstep."

is reportedly working on two Nexus smartphones based on Google's latest Android 7.0 Nougat operating system. Dubbed as 'Marlin' and 'Sailfish,' both smartphones are expected to be launched by the end of this year.
According to a report by Android Police, the 'Marlin' features a 5.5-inch QHD Amoled display whereas the smaller 'Sailfish' boasts a smaller 5-inch Full HD display.
The HTC 'Marlin' will reportedly be powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC. Other reports indicate a possibility of the yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 821 or 823 (themselves being rumoured names) to be chipset of choice. It is also expected to feature a fingerprint scanner and will house a 12MP rear camera and an 8MP front-facing snapper. It will be backed by 4GB of RAM and a 3,450mAh battery. Like the flagship HTC 10, the 'Marlin' will also have a USB Type-C port.

'Heaven on earth' is what Bernard Shaw once wrote about Dubrovnik and, while no-one could argue with the unconcealed beauty of Croatia's pride and joy, there's something to be said for the slightly more 'hidden' gems of the Croatian coast. Try as you may, you'll never come across a truly undiscovered nook of this incredible country's coastline…if you've read about it, heard about it, or googled it, chances are so has everyone else. Croatia may be a relatively new discovery to the Anglo-Saxon traveller, but Eastern and Central Europeans have been vacationing here for over two centuries and, should you make the foolish decision to travel here in July or August, you'll realize what we mean when we say that Croatia's popularity is the stuff of legends!
Luckily however, the Italians, Germans and Czechs are a rather fastidious lot, and only tend to come here during the warmest months. So if you wish to have a little more elbow space, discover the splendid Croatian Coast at any other time of the year, when flights are cheaper, prices for everything are lower, locals friendlier, towns much more serene and coastal drives utterly relaxing. Book your flight into Zagreb, hire a car and delve straight into the more veiled treasures of the Croatian Coast.
If flying into Zagreb, you may be inclined to head straight to Rijeka, the closest coastal hub merely two hours' drive south-west from the capital; yet if you were to continue just 20km west you would come across one of the most charming villages on the northern stretch of the Croatian Coast. Volosko may be a small and unassuming fishing town, but it tends to leave a rather big impression on all who stumble upon it.
Infinitely charming and delightfully quaint, Volosko is home to just a couple of hotels and B&Bs and a handful of port-side seafood restaurants, perfect for anyone who wants an authentic start to their Croatian vacation. Granted, there's not a huge amount of activities on offer here, but it's for precisely this reason that we urge you to come check it out! Even at its busiest, Volosko is still sleepy. A walking tour of the pretty city centre ought to take you no more than half an hour and the coastal walk west of the town will lead you to the nearby town of Opatija and gift superb seaside views to boot. Whilst the walk itself is rather stunning, the best part is leaving this infinitely popular town behind and heading back to Volosko! Grab a seat at one of the port-side restaurants, order a glass of the local red and a grilled fish platter (tuna is the local specialty here) and enjoy a superbly relaxing sunset.
Plitvice Lakes National Park
This most incredible National Park may not be exactly on the coast, but considering it takes merely an hour to reach it from Senj, it should really be included in all coastal trip itineraries. This UNESCO listed haven of forests, lakes and waterfalls is one of Croatia's premier natural attractions, yet still gets overlooked by the millions who holiday on the country's coast! The sheer natural beauty of Plitvice NP can barely be described in words, just be assured that there's no photoshop on earth which could duplicate the turquoise colours of its sparkling lakes.
Plitvice is a fantastic destination if walking through pristine nature is high on your priorities' list; the encompassing hiking trails run for miles so it's easy to lose yourself in complete solitude even during the busier summer months. Entry fees during off-season are less than 10 Euros per person, and this includes boat rides across some of the bigger lakes. The park is brimming with local flora and fauna, and bird lovers will be kept enthralled for hours on end. This is quite possibly one of the most ecologically enriched areas of southern Europe, and a must-visit for anyone heading to Croatia.
Drive further south along the Croatian Coast and you'll come across the gorgeous town of Zadar, about halfway between Senj and Split. Considered by many to be a mini-version of Dubrovnik, (or rather what Dubrovnik was like two decades ago), this picturesque hub boasts a brilliant historical centre chock-a-block with ancient Roman ruins and a beautifully landscaped seaside boardwalk.
The pedestrian walled-in centre is a maze of narrow alleyways and blinding white old mansions (mostly restored after the recent war) and the millennia-old Roman Forum takes absolute centre stage in a town besieged by an endless array of trendy cafes' and local eateries. Grab a selection of delectable bureks at the corner bakery (pekara), recline back on a two-thousand-year-old column and watch the lazy crowds of locals wander by. If you'd like to see something truly extraordinary then head to the northern tip of the old town and experience Zadar's magical 'Sea Organ'. Should you happen to visit during the Bora season (end of winter Siberian winds), you may be astonished to hear the music from as far as the city centre itself. The Sea Organ is a complex of organ pipes interred in the pier steps which are open to the sea; as the waves come crashing in, air is pushed out of the chambers and the organ produces the most divine musical score you'll ever hear. There are only three such experimental musical instruments in the world, and Zadar's is said to be the best so make sure you pay it a lengthy visit, you'll be completely mesmerized!
