New from the US - Dancing in the Dark has finally found a US home
I'm thrilled to share the news that Dancing in the Dark will be published by Flux in Jan/Feb 2013. I know it seems ages away, but the upside is that Flux is a fabulous company that specialises in YA and has a terrific list.
Special THANKS TO MEGAN BURKE. Were it not for her blog, and her interview of the youngest literary agent I have ever heard of, I would not have known that the passionate, dedicated and super-energetic Weronika even existed.
Apologies to my fellow bloggers for having been largely absent from the blogosphere of late. I (perhaps unwisely) came to Europe with neither an iPhone (which I don't possess) nor a laptop - so must rent time on the hotel computer if I want to so much as check my email. And since there's so much to see and do, I haven't had time to read your blogs or even respond to comments on mine.But I'm thinking of you...
Re requests for photos - another apology. I've snapped a few on my mobile phone but am embarrassed to admit that I haven't yet learned how to download them, so that too will have to wait...
And one final apology - I haven't managed to heighlight the names of Megan Burke and Weronika Janzcuk and provide links to their blogs because I'm currently using a German keyboard and it's significantly different from what I'm used to.

Why You Should Enroll Your Child in Expert Tutoring Near Lawrenceville
Learning is a process that involves different circumstances, subjects, skills, and more. Needless to say, acquiring new knowledge can be challenging at times, which is why, if you have a
at home, you should consider enrolling them in tutoring sessions. However, if you aren't convinced about what good can come from one-on-one instruction, the following post will hopefully shed some light on the matter.
Why You Should Turn to Tutoring Near Lawrenceville
To Get Better Grades
Whether your child's grades are in need of assistance, or if they're working hard to enhance their Grade Point Average for a specific purpose, enrolling your child in tutoring is sure to result in an improvement in grades. This is because, through one-on-one instruction with a professional, your child will get the opportunity to truly understand their school subjects, work on them thoroughly, and master them completely.
To Learn Successfully
While enhanced grades is a great reason to sign your child up for tutoring sessions, the fact that they'll become better learners can be more valuable. A dedicated tutor will work closely with your child, guide them through their school subjects, and provide the time, attention, and learning methods they require to develop, strengthen, and improve on different school skills. Thanks to this, they'll be able to learn effectively, and will retain that knowledge even beyond their student life.
To Accomplish the Goals They Set for Themselves
Setting goals as a child is a great learning experience: not only does it allow you to focus on and work towards a known and attainable objective, but it can also give you the motivation to actually try to accomplish them. If your child has a few academic goals and needs a helping hand in their journey to achieve them, tutoring can lead the way and help them reach their destination successfully.
To Study for Their Exams
Studying for tests can be complicated for some students: they may be easily distracted, they may be confused about their subjects, or they may even be anxious about their tests; all of which can lead to poor results. An expert tutor can help your child prepare for an exam, so call
(770) 545 8105
for more information on the assistance that the professionals at
The Tutoring Center near Lawrenceville
can provide your child, so they can be ready to ace their tests.
To Have a Confidence Boost
If you notice that your child is feeling insecure about their student life, or aren't confident in their academic abilities,
tutoring near Lawrenceville
can also be of assistance in this area. Having personalized tutoring sessions, as mentioned above, can result in improved grades, increased knowledge, and sharpened skills, which can, in turn, boost your child's confidence, and have an impact on the different aspects of their lives.
To Make Up for an Inadequate Teacher
Maybe your child's teacher is inexperienced, or perhaps their methods don't speak to your child's learning style. Whatever the reason may be, sometimes your child's teacher isn't providing the necessary conditions so your child can learn. A tutor will adapt their techniques, and even create a safe and relaxed space where your child can ask lingering questions and share opinions about their school subjects.
To Cater to a Learning Disability
A student with a learning disability has certain needs that should be met in order to have a successful learning experience. For instance, they may require more time or attention to learn a certain skill, lesson, or subject. However, with one-on-one instruction, the environment around them and the tutor's approach will be adapted to their needs, so they can reach their academic potential.
To Work on Your Child's Focus
Procrastination and poor time management skills can be two of the biggest enemies a student can know. However, you should realize that in some occasions, these are the result of lingering doubts, boredom, and apathy in their academic life. A tutor can get them interested in their subjects since they'll have a clearer grasp on them. All of this can result in better time management and an increased attention span regarding their school duties.
If You'd Like to Enroll Your Child in Expert Tutoring Near Lawrenceville.
These and just some of the many reasons why your student could benefit from personalized
tutoring near Lawrenceville.

A Physician in Hawaii During the Bombing of Pearl Harbor Reminiscences of December 7, 1941
(Originally published in the Hawaii Medical Journal, 1948 Nov-Dec; 8(2): 127-9.)
The attack on Pearl Harbor stands as one of the major turning points in Hawaii's history. With the attack, Hawaii's medical community became directly involved in the events that followed. Months before December 7th, 1941, the Hawaii Territorial Medical Association (HTMA) and the four county medical societies had set up Preparedness Committees to plan and prepare the Territory of Hawaii (hereafter referred to as the Territory) and the physicians in case the United States of America (USA) entered the war. When war came to the Territory, the physicians were ready and responded immediately to treat the injured.
On February 19, 1943, I talked to Dr. S. Clifton Culpepper. Dr. Culpepper stated that on the morning of December 7, 1941, he was at home, and that his office called him about 9:30 and told him that he was being called by the radio to go to Tripler General Hospital.
He proceeded to Tripler General Hospital and reported to the surgeon in charge, name unknown. He was informed that they had enough surgeons and for him to go to one of the wards and help clean things up, and to select the proper men to go to surgery and to x-ray.
He stated that he had nothing to work with on the ward; that Dr. Eugene W. Mitchell came down to his office and got some instruments and a certain amount of drugs, as the only thing they had at Tripler General Hospital was iodine, morphine and tetanus anti-toxin.
There were no dressings on the ward, and the ward boys [corps men?] and outsiders were tearing up sheets and rolling bandages. When Dr. Mitchell returned he and Dr. Culpepper fixed up a surgery in a small room near their word. They blanketed the windows and hung a blanket around the light in order to reduce any light that might get through. They were left entirely on their own. He stated that an occasional Army surgeon came by and asked if there was anything he could do.
He stated that they had no plasma at any time, and none was given on his ward while he was there. He stated that most all of the surgery that was done on the ward was the removal of pieces of shrapnel. They had a few compound fractures, and these they arranged to have x-rays. The compound fractures were then sent on to surgery. He took care of no penetrating abdominal wounds. He recalled one man who stated that he had been standing about twenty feet from a two or three foot brick wall, when a small Japanese bomb exploded just on the other side of the wall. The man was completely deaf, complained of pain in his chest, was in shock, and had all his hair blown off. There was no otoscope so Dr. Culpepper could not determine if his ear drums were ruptured. He could not find the cause of the man's complaints. He stated that he put in probably about twenty sutures during the day and took out about fifty; that someone, he didn't know who, had taken of a compound fracture of the arm and had the skin nicely sewed up. He opened up the wound and cleaned it out, implanted some one of the sulfa drugs, and ordered sulfa drugs on this man and every other man on his ward for the first twenty-four hours.
They continued to do this work until about 7:30, when five or six doctors went down to the supply depot where they were able to get knives, scissors, basins, dressings, bolts of gauze, etc. At 8:00 p.m. he was asked to relieve in the surgery, and he remained in surgery doing the routine work until about 2:30 a.m., when he returned to his ward where he remained till about 7:30 or 8:00 o'clock on the morning of the 8th.
He stated that three or four chest wounds were brought to the surgery while he was working in surgery, all of which had been well handled, and it was his feeling that they should not have been sent back to surgery. They apparently had been taken care of in the wards.
Most of the chest wounds had been caused by machine gun bullets rather than shrapnel.
He mentioned his feeling that it was unnecessary to change these dressings to some Army officers, but they stated that they felt it was better to have them looked at by the surgery and let the surgery take the responsibility.
In the morning when he went down to go home he found one of his tires flat and was rather provoked, feeling that somebody had let the air out in order to be sure to keep the civilian doctors at the hospital. He was informed that the flat tire was caused by an American machine gun bullet, and when he examined his car he found it had seven holes in it caused by other bullets. This made him feel a bit better. He went home in the morning and returned some time thereafter, asking about the dressings, and was told that the patients were all in good shape, and he never saw them again. Monday evening he came back to stand watch as requested, but was sent home about 11:00 o'clock in the evening in a truck, as he would not drive.
" I have read the above report of my conversation, and it is true to the best of my knowledge and belief."

He was a member of the Hawaii Territorial Medical Society and held retired member status of the Hawaii Medical Association in June 1967. He was a member of the Honolulu County Medical Society from April 1926 and was made a life member in September 1959 after 35 years of membership. Dr. Culpepper was also a member of the American Medical Association, Honolulu Chamber of Commerce, a founding member of the Waialae Country Club, Sigma Chi, Phi Rho Sigma and Adventurers Club. He was elected a director of the Honolulu Trust Co. on 1961 and reelected in 1963.
He traveled widely. In 1935 he visited hospitals in China, Manchuria, Korea and Japan. Dr. Culpepper made a visit to the Mayo Clinic in November 1941 following a hunting trip to Montana. In an extended trip in January and February 1947, he visited Alaska and numerous cities on the mainland. He spent two months visiting his former home in Mississippi in January and February 1958.
During his college years he was an active participant in varsity baseball at the University of Mississippi, and baseball and basketball at Clarke Memorial Junior College. He played semiprofessional baseball in Mississippi. He played with the Wanderers in Honolulu in 1923. His other interests included skeet shooting, hunting and field trials for hunting dogs. His entries in the field trials placed first and third in the inaugural trial held by the Hawaii State Field Trial Club at Pupukea in April 1959. Dr. Culpepper also enjoyed photography and golfing. In September 1956 he and his partner, Dr. R. Durant, won the team combined medal golf tournament of the Waialae Country Club.
Dr. Culpepper married Lucille Nason of Gulfport, Mississippi, on December 31, 1923. They were subsequently divorced. He later married Jane Kaza Yagi. He had four children: Paul Y., Betty C.

At the time of his death he was also survived by twelve grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

Perpetually temperate and nestled between hills and ocean on the central California coast, Santa Barbara needs no heavy-handed endorsements. But Santa Barbara is also an up-and-coming drinks destination. Patrick Reynolds, beverage director at vintage-styled cocktail lounge The Bobcat Room, gives the rundown on some of his favorite spots.
Handlebar Coffee Roasters
Modus Operandi: Kim Anderson and Aaron Olson were professional road-bike racers for a decade, and they found inspiration at Europe's cafés as they toured. Once they settled in Santa Barbara, the duo began roasting beans in a friend's garage before officially opening their airy downtown café in 2011. Roasting mostly single-origin coffees from Central and South America, Handlebar aims to ultimately source directly from farmers, especially as they work to open a second location. Read more about the café here.
Sama Sama
Modus Operandi: Sama Sama crafts Indonesian-inspired fare from the Central Coast's abundant produce. Bar manager Spencer Cantrell takes the same approach behind the bar, mixing drinks like the Ojai Rancho with pisco, mezcal and tangerine, or Falling on the First Date with date-infused tequila, amontillado sherry, applejack and yuzu sherbet.
Brass Bear Brewing
Modus Operandi: Opened in early 2016, this little brewery by the beach is building a fan base for their small but solid lineup of beers (from the Goldilocks Blonde to a blood orange and raspberry imperial gose), their personable service and their monthly pairing dinners. "The husband-and-wife owners are creative and welcoming," Reynolds says. "And the Cave Age lager is perfect for any hot day."
Santa Barbara Wine Collective + The Lark
Modus Operandi: Located in a rehabbed warehouse in the Funk Zone, the city's arts district, the Santa Barbara Wine Collective pours from a lineup of five of the region's winemakers, including Babcock Vineyards, Notary Public and Ca'del Grevino. Grab dinner under the same roof at The Lark, which keeps things local by utilizing seasonal ingredients of the Central Coast, as well as spirits from Cutler's Artisan Spirits, located just two doors down.
The Bobcat Room
Modus Operandi: Across the dance floor of the rowdy Wildcat Lounge is the entrance to The Bobcat Room, a quieter, cocktail-centric space that juxtaposes its vintage vibe with a bar program that builds on Reynolds' farm-to-bar weekly series at Wildcat. "It looks like where the Rat Pack would have a Martini before a job," he says. With help from GM Shaun Belway, Reynolds' hyper-local seasonal drinks have included offerings like mule riff The Smitten Kitten, with house-made ginger beer and fresh passion fruit from a neighbor's yard. "A lot of people let us forage if we do a little yard work in return."
Test Pilot
Modus Operandi: The husband-and-wife owners of The Good Lion (check out their Rosemary Clooney cocktail recipe) made their foray into tiki cocktails last fall with the opening of Test Pilot. The menu aims for a modern take with playful interpretations like the Oaxacan Dead (a Zombie riff with mezcal, tequila, rum, lime and pomegranate) and lightly tweaked classics, like a Piña Colada with Caribbean amaro.
The Pickle Room
Modus Operandi: Operating since 1947 as Jimmy's Oriental Gardens, The Pickle Room opened in its stead after a six-year hiatus, maintaining the original décor and the devoted local clientele. "The Pickle Room is an amazing place that can't even be put in a category," says Reynolds. "You just call it solid gold." In addition to fried rice and Mai Tais, you can also order fried pickles with apricot chili sauce and a "Pickletini," naturally.

Top 10 Varieties Of Tomato For Short And Long Growing Seasons
When growing tomatoes it is most definitely helpful to know the different tomato varieties so that you can choose tomato plants that suit your growing situation. I will share this article of the 10 best tomatoes available to grow for short and long growing seasons.
Whether you have a short or a long growing season, the range of organic, heirloom tomato varieties means that you will be spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing which seeds to plant in your garden, greenhouse or polytunnel. This list outlines some of the best varieties of tomato seeds that will give you some of the best tomato plants possible come harvest time. It is of course an incomplete list but will certainly give you some ideas when it comes to choosing which type of tomato plant to grow. All the plants on this list are heirloom tomatoes, as these will allow you to collect seed from the plants and grow again next year and eventually, to breed plants ideally suited to your climate and local soil conditions.
1- Brandywine
Easily recognizable from its unusual foliage which resembles potato leaves, this heirloom variety is one of the best known and most highly regarded around. It is suitable for growing outside or in a greenhouse or polytunnel and is generally considered to be one of the best tasting 'beefsteak' tomatoes. It dates from 1885 and has a long history as an organic garden favorite. Brandwine tomato plants will grow to a height of around 2m with a spread of around 50cm and are best grown as cordons. They will flower and then fruit between July and September. Fruits are slower to mature than other varieties, taking 80-100 days to grow to full size, but these fruits can reach a weight of 0.7kg.
2- Galina
An heirloom alternative, perhaps, to the popular hybrid variety, Sungold, this super-sweet and super early, yellow tomato variety comes from Siberia and could be a good choice for those who want all kinds of tomatoes in a variety of different colors. With these tomatoes you can make a great yellow tomato soup or yellow tomato ketchup – for something a bit out of the ordinary. Galina produces an abundance of fruits of around 3cm in diameter in bunches on tall plants. These potato leaf foliage plants grow to around 1.2m in height and the fruits do not fall off when ripe which makes harvesting easier. Galina can be harvested early and will continue to fruit for longer than other varieties, perhaps bearing even until November.

Discussion in 'Family and Recreational Cycling' started by gasinayr, 29 Sep 2016.
Ripping it up seems like a sensible proposition, along with all the other half baked cycle "facilities" across the UK..
It does appear to be an unusually crap design.
I don't know how much those bollards cost to buy and fit but a lot more than a white line on the floor I would think. I don't like those blocks on the floor and the coloured surface either. They are not necessary.
I wonder if there is such a thing as making car drivers too aware of cyclists.
Their eyes must be drawn to it constantly,making it a danger instead of safe.
I'm thick. At least today I am. I genuinely cannot fathom the purpose of the bollards.
Handy reminder every 10 yards that you are on a cycle path because the blue isn't enough of a clue? Stop cyclists recklessly crossing into the opposite 'carriageway' for ludicrously dangerous overtakes?
Nope, still don't get it.
Maybe the bollards are to stop people parking !?
I did wonder about that, but it's painted blue, has a white centreline and those concrete bumps between it and the cars. I know car drivers can be ar$es, but is that really necessary? I suppose it must be. But you'd still think they could maybe put them between the road and the cycleway to the same end? Ah well, I can only conclude that, as you say, anti-parking seems most likely.
A further thought then occurs as to why so insubstantial? (they look like plastic anchored on cat's eyes, but i suppose could be full of concrete, hard to tell). To allow emergency services to blue and two it down there if the road is blocked with traffic using bollards as skittles as they go? They are quite substantial enough to have you off your bike in a jiffy, but not enough to stop a determined car or van. Ah well.
Theres a couple of bollards like that on a path near me , I will give them a kick the next time I go by
I always wondered what @Mad Doug Biker looked like
The word @rse springs to mind, I stopped the video the moment he opened his mouth!
.... I'd use that ergo properly!
More bollards needed I think
Oh boy.
Maybe that's the bollard installation van?

Verizon Wireless Launches Seventh Annual 'Kids In Need Holiday Drive' In New England
WOBURN, MA — To make the holidays a little brighter for children living in domestic violence shelters, Verizon Wireless is conducting its annual 'Kids In Need Holiday Drive' for the seventh consecutive year at its Communications Stores throughout New England. Each store has 'adopted' a local domestic violence shelter in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont, and will collect new, unwrapped toys, games, and books for children ranging in age from infants to teens.
From Nov. 15 through Dec. 15, Verizon Wireless Communications Stores throughout the region will collect donations for the Kids In Need Holiday Drive. Items collected will be donated to local domestic violence shelters. Verizon Wireless has organized this outreach as a part of the company's continued support of domestic violence survivors and their families.
Three FOX television stations in New England FOX25, FOX61, and FOX23 - along with radio station WROR-FM will serve as media partners to raise awareness of the drive. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's (MBTA) South Station (200 Summer Street in Boston) will also serve as an additional collection point for donations.
"When children flee a home due to domestic abuse, they often do so with only the clothes on their back, leaving a favorite toy or book behind," said Ken Dixon, president of the New England region for Verizon Wireless. "We remain committed to helping survivors of domestic violence and their families. This is one more way we can help, specifically aiding the youngest victims during the holidays."
The Kids In Need Holiday Drive is one component of the Verizon Wireless HopeLine® program, created to put wireless products and services to work to prevent domestic violence and raise awareness of the issue. Today, the multi-faceted program includes a wireless phone recycling program (accepting no-longer-used wireless phones - any make or model, from any wireless carrier), financial support for regional and national non-profit domestic violence organizations, community and corporate awareness programs, and partnerships with agencies, professional sports teams, educational institutions and corporations nationwide. No-longer-used phones can be donated to HopeLine at any Verizon Wireless Communications Stores year-round.
Since 2001, more than four million phones have been donated to HopeLine. As a result, Verizon Wireless has distributed approximately $4 million in cash grants, and more than 45,000 phones with airtime, valued at more than $13 million, to domestic violence prevention agencies and organizations throughout the country. Nearly one million no-longer-used wireless phones have been recycled in an environmentally friendly way, keeping more than 200 tons of electronic waste and batteries out of landfills.
Verizon Wireless has donated more than $70,000 in 2007 to 40 New England-based agencies dedicated to domestic violence awareness and prevention through the company's HopeLine $1,000 Grant Program.

Buy Wholesale Promotional Armani Suits from China, How to Calculate Sea Freight?International ocean shipping is a practice used to trade goods all over the world. Items are packed into shipping containers and loaded onto a vessel before traveling across the sea to an arrival port. Large machinery and project material that is too large to fit into ocean containers are known as break-bulk and travels uncovered, aboard vessels. Calculating sea freight is the process that determines a shipment's mass, which is used to rate the cost of either an LCL (less than container-load) or a break-bulk shipment. Instructions LCL shipments 1. For LCL shipments, Measure the length, width, and height of your cargo (in inches). Calculate the volume of your cargo using the formula: Length x Width x Height = Volume (in cubic inches). 2. Create the denominator by multiplying 12 x 12 x 12.

Top 5 Tips of Overcoming Your Wholesale Dropship Business ProblemsMaking money online is something is becoming increasingly common nowadays, as more and more people try their luck on the Internet to explore the chance of making it big through the web. One of the most popular, and renowned methods out there is the wholesale dropship business.

Nothing brings out hollow, maudlin sentimentality quite like Christmas. (OK, perhaps terrorist attacks come close.) Thus, it's not too surprising that the folks at the Song-Poem Archives were able to cobble together an entire CD's worth of amateur lyricists' attempts at adding to the holiday songbook. Quick refresher: Song-poems are the result of people responding to "We put your words to music!" ads in the back of comic books and tabloids. The musicians are skilled, if uninspired, composing the music in minutes and knocking out the recordings in one take. The lyrics, understandably, are horrifying. In the same way that every soccer mom and accountant felt the urge to express their post-Sept. 11 patriotism via hokey poetry, Christmas seems to bring out the "creativity" in the most uncreative people. And these 21 songs show just how uncreative people can be. Or rather, it shows how unintentionally bizarre people can be when they think they're being creative. That said, "Santa Came on a Nuclear Missile," "Santa Claus Goes Modern," "Rocking Disco Santa Claus" and the other 18 tracks on this disc are just the right antidote for yet another year of Gene Autry and Elvis on the family hi-fi come that blessed morning.

Where can I find the text to this poem "Could not get Gregory Corso out of my Car"? per medino
We found the lines in another HG poem. Here it is:
adventure without pain up I-35
destination NEW ORLEANS, to
drive south I-49 for fast joy on I-10
hot flushed cheek adventure rules
New Orleans to
an apartmentized southern mansion on Esplanade
drenched with smooth skinned youth tatooed in mud
permanently resting on the run-down neoclassical colonnades
gaudy women downstairs made of rubber bounced off hard times describe a
lusty city only savage now and then
to shiny local beat hero nineteen she learns
just what's necessary to enjoy adventure
avoid pain from Allen and Peter
destination MEXICO CITY from Austin on public transportation
all the way to Teotihuacan pyramids through every dusty village
decorated with colored tissue paper
an aimless at the expanse of sand-colored distance
climb the pyramids doze on the stone rim
"last public bus left exactly one hour ago"
help little village boy on top of the pyramid of the sun
brave girl with her visa
whose brush can't untangle the wind from her hair
TEOTIHUACAN after dark, (remember to wake)
sound bites her ears city of the gods comes alive like a disco
Boris Karloff's aging voice narrates the cheap tourist light show directs attention to
a stone sacrificial pit
where the sleeping girl sought shelter
before the garish show
dreaming to death
of Votan, the local boy called Quetzalcoatl,
his Toltec Wotan.
Yes, she was a desirable young boy uncombed hair
once sacrificed for the good of the others
heart sliced like beef
stranded alongside false light
attractive to moths
adventure without pain
for easy boys I lead
up I-35 on a run
for CONFESSION departing forever
pyramids of the sun and moon
taut souls of stupid youth
puppies peeing on the floor
everything is forgiven in advance
the heavenly bodies
would say if mystics those would channel
before and cosmic wind would blow
Gregory Corso out of my carwe two can rob adventure of pain

CCJ makes measurable impacts in many areas of the community. Listed below is an outline of some of the measurable impacts that CCJ has accomplished:
- Nearly 1700 low-risk and first time offenders were supervised by CCJ last year
- 75% of all probation cases in Story County are handled by CCJ
- 86% of CCJ's clients successfully completed all requirements of probation in 2013
- 87% of probation clients that have successfully completed their probation did not re-offend within the following year
- The majority of CCJ probation clients receive a deferred judgement, which means that if they successfully complete probation their criminal record on that offense is expunged and cleared
In addition to the many measurable impacts in the community, CCJ also impacts taxpayers in a positive way. Most significantly, CCJ provides relief to the Iowa prison system. Below are a few comparisons:
- $30,000 is the cost per year of the Iowa prison system and is paid by taxpayers
- 8,800 men and women are currently incarcerated within the Iowa prison system
- 80% of those men and women are incarcerated for non-violent crimes
- Prison populations increased by 340% from 1980 to 2006
- A 10% reduction in state prison population in 2005 would have saved taxpayers $98.3 million
- A 50% reduction in state prison population would have saved taxpayers $3.3 billion
- $300-$575 is the cost per year of probation and is paid by each individual probationer
- Probation is approximately 1% the cost of incarceration

GATES which were controversially closed earlier this year, blocking access to a popular Highland walking route, including the famous 'Whisky Trail', have been reopened.
The Cairngorms National Park Authority and the owners of Kinrara Estate have announced that following positive discussions newly installed gates on estate driveways will remain open.
Kinrara Estate has confirmed that the gates had not been operated as they had intended when they authorised their installation and the intention was never to restrict access but rather to regulate access given concerns of anti-social behaviour and other issues.
READ MORE: Cairngorms landowner accused of blocking access to trail
The CNPA had been investigating a potential contravention of the Land Reform Act on Kinrara Estate after it was reported that three new electronic gates had been installed on the Estate, which hindered people accessing the Speyside Way at three different locations.
David Clyne, CNPA Recreation and Access Manager, said: "We are pleased to report that we have had some very constructive and positive discussions with Kinrara Estate's legal representatives and as a result the gates have been opened."
Campaigners had accused a landowner in the Highlands of preventing the public from accessing an estate in the Cairngorms.
Three locked gates have appeared in the 'Whisky Trail' route near the Kinrara Estate, which is a part of the Speyside Way near Aviemore.
A potential breach of public access rights is now being investigated by the Cairngorms National Park Authority after complaints about the electronic gates were received.
Ramblers Scotland say that walkers and cyclists have been blocked from using the route after the gates appeared on three entrances to the Estate.
Gates are allowed on estates under the Land Reform Act, though the owners of land are obliged to ensure that access for walkers is maintained.
Brendan Paddy, Ramblers Scotland Director, said: "We fully support the CNPA in their efforts to tackle these gates, which should never have appeared in the first place.
READ MORE: Website aims to avoid conflict between walkers and estates
"It's extremely disappointing that a public body is having to spend time and money on such an avoidable problem, and that access remains blocked during the peak summer season."
The estate has a historically uneasy relationship with public assess rights and regulations, opposing the extension of the Speyside Way on the estate.
An unprecedented Path Order was issued five years ago to ensure that the extension was constructed.

Look what the cat dragged into court.
Poison has filed a lawsuit against Capitol Records, accusing the label of cheating the glam-metal band out of royalties dating back to the mid-'80s.
Filed yesterday in Los Angeles Superior Court on behalf of Sweet Cyanide Music—the company representing members Bret Michaels, Rikki Rockett, Bobby Dall and C.C. Deville—the suit alleges that Capitol willfully shortchanged the quartet by "incorrectly calculating certain producer royalties" owed to them. (View the complaint.)

White Light Wellness Program
House Clearing and Blessing
Your home is your safe haven. It is the place where you feel the most comfortable, the place where your family resides and the place where you rest your head at night. So naturally, you want the energy to feel the best that it can.
The space in which you live is sacred and yet, it may not always feel that way. Ultimately, your entire life is deeply impacted by both your living and your work spaces. When you attune to your space, you can call in a deeper relationship to the greater field of health, well-being and sustainability. What's more, your ability to connect with the currents of abundance, wisdom, health and family prosperity can all be enhanced when your space is harmonious and clear. That's where a House Clearing & Blessing session can help.
Some spaces require a cleansing of energies. It may be that when you moved into a new space you felt like someone else was there. Or, perhaps the space didn't feel right, as if a lingering negative energy was present. There could also be a situation involving current residents.
Clear Your Space for the Radiant Flow of Life
And Love In ancient times, space clearing rituals had religious connotations. Typically you would bring in the community shaman, priest or holy man to bless your home or cast out harmful spirits. Today, the local spiritual master has been replaced by individuals gifted and trained in the art and science of clearing energy.
Energy clearing is a very effective process to get things moving or to create a sacred, clear space for: Improved Health & Wellness, New Beginnings, Home Blessings, Peace & Joy, and Attracting Abundance.
House Clearing & Blessing sessions begin with an intuitive read on your space. We will discuss what you are feeling, the history of your space and what your intention for the session might be. Using sacred plants and crystals, the energy of the home is cleared and blessed.
Fees: $150 per hr (most homes please allow 2 hours)
Free 15 minute telephone consultation
Please contact Mary via email: email@example.com or by cell @ 905-452-2072

No matter how much advice and advocacy emerges in the world of digital marketing, about the value of content creation, the same issue seems to crop up. Many of the people I speak to - especially those with a small business to run - find it difficult to generate the sparks of creativity they perceive are required, in order to compile a valuable piece of content, be it blog post, podcast, video, or even a Tweet(!), that help place themselves in the seat of "thought leader" in their industry. No matter what your views on the sheer number of so-called thought leaders can or should exist in a specific industry or niche, it strikes me as an unrealistic and high-pressure goal to attain for anyone whose many other hats are already weighing them down.
The good news is that you don't have to be a thought leader to make a difference. Forget, for the time-being, penning the opinions and commentary that will put you at the top; instead focusing on putting yourself in front of the very audience that you wish to make the connection with. Being a "thought provider" is better than no thought at all! The many benefits that go with content creation - not least discoverability - should be enough to pull anyone out of their silent slump, and have any ambitious entrepreneur or business owner attracting new waves of interest and connections.
The good news about being a thought provider is that you don't even have to have the original ideas, but merely add your own spin/comment to the emerging stories in your industry - the earlier, the better! Try out some popular content curation tool, which help to bring the news to you, in near-realtime:
Google Reader
Add you favourite industry blog and news site feeds to Google Reader, and have an inbox-style view of the latest posts in your niche. See what trends are emerging - the topics occurring most often are those that are likely to have some traction or established awareness within your chosen sector - and choose your medium for passing the message on (be it your blog, YouTube channel, or just a lowly Tweet).
Scoop it
Get the scoop on the posts and stories being tagged and shared most often within your networks, or by industry keyword. Again, select the stories that interrupt your own awareness, and which you think will resonate best with your own target audience. Don't forget the power of keywords in your content, and use tools like Google's Adwords Keyword Tool, to prove the levels of search for specific terms - that way you can target and meet the greatest demand.
With a little help from others, and the power of curation as a means to fuel content, you too can be a thought provider. Thought leadership's overrated anyway!

New Source Naturals Product Addresses Major Concern of More Than 30 Million Men
Scotts Valley, California – August 20, 2003 – Source Naturals®, creators of the highly acclaimed line of more than 500 health and wellness supplements, was the first full-line national supplement company to offer the herbal extract - LJ100™, under the label Tongkat Ali Male Libido Tonic.
In a preliminary study at the Reproductive Research Center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 30 married men between the ages of 31 and 52, were given Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia jack) regularly for three consecutive weeks. Nearly half of the men reported an increase in sexual desire, as well as feeling healthy, active and energized, without the "racing heart" or vision side-effects experienced with other libido products. It has been suggested that Tongkat Ali may block negative feedback to the hypothalamus and pituitary glands, so the body continues to produce testosterone at elevated levels.
"Libido issues are becoming more prevalent as the 'baby boom' generation moves into their fifties and sixties," said Todd Williams, Marketing Supervisor at Source Naturals. "The production of testosterone falls progressively from age 40, so there are many men experiencing the effects of low testosterone levels. Tongkat Ali has been used in Malaysia for over 300 years as a libido tonic, and now men worldwide can benefit."
It is estimated that poor sexual performance affects more than 30 million men and their partners. Source Naturals has added this product to its line of male sexual health products. Each tablet contains 80 mg. of Longjack: LJ100 – the highest quality, standardized Tongkat Ali extract available. Through a patented process, the most potent, biologically active compounds are extracted.
Source Naturals – founded by Ira Goldberg in 1982 – is committed to enhancing individual potential to enjoy optimal health and well-being by providing superior-quality dietary supplements and nutritional education.

Because you guys got kicked off Hybrasil at the end of the last adventure, I'm going to come with a sector map next time.
So… your homeworlds.
Martholemew is from Mars. Per the SWN setting, our solar system is out of reach of FTL travel, and all the adventures take place on the former frontier of the Terran Mandate (aka empire).
That means you need to explain how you got to the frontier… or you can fill in the details in play. The only downside is that you won't have a homeworld in the sector, so you miss out on having a useful Culture/World skill.
Culture/World This specialty must be taken individually for each specific world, and relates to knowledge of that world's society, government, tech level, and laws. Level 0 in this skill also grants basic profi ciency in that world's most common language if the character is not already proficient in it.
I'll let you swap out Culture/Mars for Culture/Traveler to reflect that you've been bouncing around in space for a while, and have a passing knowledge of a lot of planets.
Bamf doesn't have a homeworld yet. You can either make one up that fits with your character concept, wait until you see the sector map and pick one, or hash it out in play.

Talawanda Teacher Confessions
The Tribune asked Talawanda teachers to confess their deep-dark teacher secrets and here's what we learned about the skeletons in your favorite teachers' closets:
My first year of teaching I was chewing gum while helping a student and my gum fell onto his textbook. I picked it up and put it back in my mouth and kept talking.
I thought I could copy and paste from one computer to another…
My first year of teaching, during seventh period (at the very END of the day!), a student whispered to me, "You have a hole in your pants." I looked down, and my pants were split open down the side from the belt loop to the knee (how I didn't notice it is beyond me). Dumbfounded, because I was unaware that this had happened and confused as to how long my pants had been like that, all I could think of to say back to the student was, "Yeah, I know." (like it had been my intention all along to wear ripped pants).
I had a deer that decided to join my Accounting class one time by smashing through the window. It took a look around and decided to leave.
Once, my sweater became attached to the bottom of the projector screen. As I raised the screen, the sweater went up too!! The class pretended not to notice. I am grateful.
I am secretly obsessed with "Family Guy."
I was sucking on a tic tac and teaching and the tic tac went up my nose. At the old high school while teaching some ants fell into my blouse while teaching, I tried to be distracted but it tickled so much I had to run to the restroom.
I wore two different shoes to school. I didn't notice until a student pointed it out.
It was my third year of teaching…and I was sick on this particular day. But, being the young fool I was, I still came to school because we had conferences that night. During one parent-teacher conference, I coughed. Keep in mind, I was sick, and the cough was so…um, forceful, I simultaneously farted. And, it wasn't a polite squeaker. This was a full force, airy monster of a fart. I looked at the mom who was sitting across from me and I said, "I'm sorry, I'm really sick." She looked at me for a second before continuing, "So, about my son," as though the fart never happened.
I must confess: in order to hide how painfully thin I am, I disguise myself in the body of a much larger person.

One barrier to student achievement in Nashville is the digital divide. An estimated 44% of Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) students (2012 TESS Survey) lack access to computers or connectivity at home. The achievement gap is defined by socio-economic boundaries, as is the digital divide, so, by creating equitable access to digital resources, we can positively impact the achievement gap.
Anytime Access for All is a collective impact public-private partnership that strives to ensure all MNPS families have:
- a computing device that can be used both in and out of school,
- low-cost internet access at home,
- quality digital literacy training (both in-person classes and on-going self-directed content) and tools to enhance learning and engage families, and
- sustained support to allow them to take full advantage of these digital tools.
The program is targeted initially to schools that have a high level of blended learning, which is the inclusion of technology in all coursework. Our pilot school is Hunters Lane High School in Madison.
Activities to support implementation of Nashville's Anytime Access for All initiative have included:
- Coordination with the Nashville Digital Inclusion Fund, established in February of 2015 through The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee (CFMT), to identify and support high impact digital inclusion initiatives to close the Nashville community's digital divide. The Fund will grow based on community, business, and government contributions.
- A gift of used desktop computers by Vanderbilt University, facilitated and augmented by Dell, which has been converted to an expected 2000 refurbished and packaged laptops through our partner organization, ER2.
- Work with local broadband service and infrastructure providers interested in participating, to facilitate low/no cost internet access opportunities to MNPS families.
- Comcast has commitment to provide $50,000 in-kind opportunity cards for low-cost internet service and to investigate discounted bulk billing options.
- Continued discussion with additional providers and EveryoneOn.org for alternative low-cost internet service options for participant families.
- Creation of an in-person, classroom-based digital literacy training course to be required for each participant parent or guardian by our partner the Nashville Public Library (NPL). NPL will also coordinate an on-going learning management system to deliver the additional, incentivized training courses to program participants.
Current planning includes:
- Actively engaging community, business, and government partners for awareness and active participation, through financial or volunteer support, of the Nashville Digital Inclusion Fund.
- Development of an online training and support portal for Anytime Access families.
- Defining participant tracking mechanisms and program metrics to measure success.
- Scaling the pilot program to expand its reach across MNPS.

Fantasy camp: Jazz lovers share a bill with the pros
Maryland Summer Jazz Festival
Six years into the Maryland Summer Jazz Festival, founder and saxophonist Jeff Antoniuk knows the bar is set high.
Attendees expect not just quality but variety as well. For every camp, he tries to bring in players from all over the country as well as his native Canada. It looks good from a market perspective, but also provides fresh takes on jazz for the students.
"We try to have some [musicians] that have some rock experience and some funk experience," Antoniuk says. "Lots of times, jazz musicians are guilty of focusing on one decade of music, but there's so much more. We want to include that."
Maryland Summer Jazz Festival
Although the camp welcomes students of different abilities, many students either perform or plan on performing professionally. That's why the two concerts at Saint Mark Presbyterian Church in Rockville are such a sweet way to end the three-day experience. Campers don't always share the stage with the professionals, but they do share the bill.
"It's a pretty big deal [for the students]," Antoniuk says. "Some of these faculty members are people they have listened to for 10 or 20 years. It's inspiring and frightening and everything else."
This year's marquee percussion instructor is Sherrie Maricle. Known among her peers as one of the foremost women in jazz, she received an invitation from Antoniuk after taking part in one of his clinics.
"I was so impressed with him and his organization and the way the workshop flowed and what the goals were," says Maricle. "I thought, 'Wow, this is such a unique and interesting experience.' I thought [the camps] would really be an excellent thing to be involved with."
For 15 years, Maricle taught percussion at New York University, where she also earned a doctorate in composition and jazz performance. The academic setting instilled a passion for education. That commitment may be strong, but Maricle and the other instructors face a challenge in cramming a huge amount of knowledge into just a few sessions.
"Doing a workshop like this that's very intense and compact is reflective of what it means to be a professional musician," she says.
One of Maricle's most visible appointments is leader of the all-female Diva Orchestra that she founded. The outfit specializes in big band arrangements and boasts a diversity of both ages and ethnicities. Although Maricle isn't on a feminist crusade for gender equality in an industry dominated by men, she is proud of the impact the group has made.
"Diva has been instrumental in changing worldwide perception of women in jazz on a massive scale because of the quality of the band," says Maricle. "Now, suddenly, they see 15 women altogether, and I think it makes a good impression."
Faculty member Walt Weiskopf is no stranger to high profile gigs, either. For the last four summers, the tenor saxophonist has hit the road with Steely Dan. In August, he'll join the band's Donald Fagan for several dates on a tour that also includes Boz Scaggs and Michael McDonald.
For Weiskopf, teaching is not a lifelong passion. The 50-year-old did not begin passing down his knowledge until his mid-30s. He will commute from his home in New Jersey to teach part-time at Philadelphia's Temple University in the fall. The job requires a much shorter commute than his previous position at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York.
"[Teaching] forces you to understand what you're talking about, which really helps my playing" he observes. "I do find it's more challenging to teach someone who's more set in their ways."
The national acts are impressive additions, but Antoniuk loves to invite local talent as well. This year's Beltway musicians include Antoniuk and bassist Tom Baldwin. Kenny Rittenhouse, who resides in Washington, D.C., has been a member of the U.S. Army Blues Jazz Ensemble for 19 years. He made it through boot camp like everyone else who joins the military, but isn't danger of shipping out of the area.
"It's a really cool gig, because all we do is play and rehearse," he says. "We do concerts, ceremonies and go on tour a little bit."
When he's not performing with the Army band, Rittenhouse enjoys shaping young players at Virginia's George Mason University and Fairfax High School. Classes may be out, but the 43-year is not slowing down. In addition to Maryland Summer Jazz, the horn player has scheduled appearances at Shenandoah University and the Washington Performing Arts Society's Capitol Jazz Project.
"This is the busiest summer I've ever had," he says, "I have a 9-month-old baby at home and I've got more work outside. Instinctively, I want to do as much as I can 24/7."
Rittenhouse's motivation for attending the camp and concerts is simple.
"Anytime I get a chance to work with students or adults learning jazz at whatever level, I jump at it."
Check out the "Double Dose of Jazz" concerts on Fridays, July 23 and 30 at Saint Mark Presbyterian Church, 10701 Old Georgetown Road, Rockville. The student concerts begin at 7 p.m. and the pros take the stage at 8:15 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Children, 12 and younger, are admitted for $5.
