As a partner in a landscaping design-build firm, I work from a broad palette of design elements. The basic forms, like walkways, patios, decks, and fences, serve as a visual and spatial frame for plantings, water features, sculptures, and other enhancements.
Lighting is often treated as just another landscape enhancement, or even as an afterthought. But for me, it's an essential tool and one of the main keys to success. My high-end clients typically work long hours, and many of them get few chances to see their properties during daylight hours. Lighting makes their outdoor spaces accessible and useful after sundown.
But the best lighting design takes things a few steps further. It does more than simply let people see. A thoughtful design can create a beautiful nighttime world that's pleasant and relaxing, or dramatic and exciting, to suit each client's taste and budget.
"Nightscaping," as the industry terms it, can mean a simple enhancement like putting in a few path lights. Or it can mean a complex scheme for the whole property, with extensive illuminated scenes that involve house features, decks, paths, plants, and sculptures. Bare bones or full featured, a well-designed setup can create striking, exciting, or relaxing visual effects, even as it accomplishes the basic outdoor-lighting goals of security, safety, and convenience.
Mood, safety, and security. Three broad purposes typically anchor the design thinking for a landscape lighting plan. There is the creative value of mood lighting, or effect lighting — for example, uplighting a tree to give it a pleasing or dramatic appearance. Then there is the practical value of path lighting: For convenience and to prevent accidents, we light the ground at the entry to walkways, or wherever there's a change in elevation like a set of steps; and we place lights near bodies of water. Finally, there's the issue of security: We light dark areas to eliminate places where burglars could hide.
A thoughtful designer can employ individual lights or groups of lights to serve more than one of these goals at the same time. The main reason to create effect lighting is because it looks good; but it can also help to light walkways and dark corners. By the same token, path lighting or security lighting can be done in a way that is visually pleasing, casting interesting shadows or emphasizing a distinctive feature.
A home's entrance is identified with canister spots that wash the base of the wall near the door.
Shown here are specialty lights in the railing light the stairs.
Recessed lights in the risers make for safer climbing.
Art versus nature? In simple terms, there are two schools of thought when it comes to landscape lighting. One philosophy is to design the lighting to mimic nature. Nature supplies mostly downlighting and backlighting at night. A full moon, for instance, will cast subtle shadows of trees and plants on the ground; that's the basic idea of downlighting (we even call it "moonlighting"). But imagine a tree on the horizon minutes after sundown, silhouetted against a pale, bright sky: That's backlighting. To conform to the natural world, says the first school of thought, we should downlight and backlight our landscape.
An alternative is to create a whole new landscape at night. That school of thought favors techniques such as uplighting a small shrub next to the house to throw a tree-sized shadow against the high blank wall (called "shadowing"). A designer might hide a piece of sculpture in the plantings and transform it into a focal point at night with a well-placed spotlight. You can highlight interesting trees, or you can shine a spotlight across a waterfall to cast moving shadows onto the stone work.
Rather than restrict his lighting effects to a simple mimicry of nature's backlighting (evening sky) or downlighting (moonlight), the author uses lights to change the character of a home's surroundings at night. Tricks such as hanging downlights in an interesting tree stimulate the imagination.
Tricks such as highlighting a statue stimulate the imagination.
A designer can even create entire lit and decorated scenes as a suitable backdrop for entertainment and celebrations.
No law says those two schools of thought can't be combined. To take either philosophy too literally could stifle your creativity. I prefer to change the night landscape with my lighting design; but I'm also known to climb into trees to hang downlight fixtures, just for the effect of moonlighting the branches onto the ground (this looks especially striking after a snowfall).
Simple lighting that imitates natural moonlight or sky light can be blended with more conscious effect lighting for a satisfying total result. A simple path lights shine down on the walk, and uplights next to the outbuilding create a lit background for small plantings that's similar to the pale sky behind the nearby trees.
Spotlights on smaller trees in the foreground create perspective-shifting large shadows for added dramatic effect. The scene at right has similar backlighting created with canister lights next to the house wall, but for added visual interest includes spotlights trained upwards onto the small tree. The illuminated tree also helps to light the path in this case.
Lighting water features. Nothing looks more dramatic in the landscape than illuminated moving water. Special underwater low-voltage lights are available for lighting a waterfall or casting a glow throughout a pond. These are simple. You can also light the surrounding landscape to highlight the water: Use spotlights to cast light across the stone work in a pond or across a waterfall to shadow the moving water on the rocks beyond. If you have a still water surface, you can light a tree behind the pond to create a reflection of it in the water. Or you can shine a spotlight up a creek, or use a sharp beam spotlight to light a night-blooming water lily. Water features are truly an artist's canvas — the choices go on and on.

World Wetlands Day 2001: Yugoslavia
17 January 2001
World Wetlands Day in Yugoslavia
Dear Ms Inga Racinska
First of all We would like to thank You for sending us promotional material, and to ask You to accept our apologies for sending the same message about the materials by mistake again. We also hope that the material will arrive on time, so we can properly use them. We are very pleased to introduce our Institution and activities that we are planning for the Wetland Day to You.
The Institute for Protection of Nature of Serbia was founded in 1948. The central activity of the Institute is protection of regions, ambiental units, plant and animal species, and complementary activities are education of wide circle of public in nature protection, publishing, promotion and presentation of natural heritage of Serbia. Up to now we have succeeded in protecting about 1200 natural assets and 5% of territory of Serbia, and by year 2025 we plan to protect 10% of the territory . One of the basic principles in our work is cooperation with all interested partners in protection of nature, so we developed excellent cooperation with numerous scientific, government and non-government organizations in the country and abroad. The Institute is a member of several relevant international organizations in this area of activity: IUCN, ProGEO and Europarc Federation. More information about the Institute You can find on the Web site: www.natureprotection.org.yu
While organizing events in celebration of important environmental dates we are trying to raise public awareness of needs, necessity and benefits of right treatment of natural assets. That is why in the week of the World Wetland Day 2001 our experts who are involved in protection of wetland areas in Serbia will be quests in the several TV and radio environmental programs. The main event will be organized on the February 2nd in the Nature reserve "Obedska bara", which is on the Ramsar Sites List. There we will organize the meeting on the theme Wetland areas : Problems and solutions of protection - benefits for all. Several presentations will be organized on the topic (wetland areas and actions for their protection), as well as discussion and site seeing of the "Obedska bara", nature reserve. Participants of the meeting will be local people, journalists, managers of the wetland areas and relevant GO and NGO organizations.
If You are interested we can send You a report of the event, and If You have any questions please feel free to contact us

Google's decision to mark Easter Sunday with a doodle of leftist icon Cesar Chavez atop its search engine angered some users in what they see as a snub of Jesus on the day Christians mark his resurrection.
Google defended the decision by saying it reserves the spot for historical figures and events, but a review of its past doodles shows it has never honored Jesus on Christmas or Easter, despite his historical and spiritual significance to billions around the world.
"I thought the Chavez-google thing was a hoax or an early April Fool's Day prank," Fox News contributor Dana Perino tweeted. " ... are they just going to leave that up there all day?"
The Daily Caller website also chimed in, noting the establishing ties between Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt and the Obama administration.
"While Google frequently decorates its logo to celebrate various holidays and special events, it is unclear why the company chose specifically to honor Chavez's birthday, instead of Easter Sunday," the website read.
In 2011, President Obama proclaimed each March 31 to be designated Cesar Chavez Day in honor of the co-founder of the United Farm Workers union. The civil rights activist died in 1993 at age 66.
"Through boycotts and fasts, he led others on a path of nonviolence conceived in careful study of the teachings of St. Francis of Assisi and Mahatma Gandhi, and in the powerful example of Martin Luther King, Jr.," the presidential proclamation said of the Arizona-born civil-rights leader.
Glenn Beck also noted the perceived slight in a message that retweeted at least 360-plus times.
"Cool for Google to not celebrate Easter but really?!!? Go to http://google.com," Beck wrote. "HAPPY Caesar Chavez day everybody!"
Microsoft's Bing, in contrast, featured brightly-colored Easter eggs on its main search page on Sunday. But Google, which last illustrated an Easter doodle in 2000, downplayed the controversy.
"We enjoy celebrating holidays at Google but, as you may imagine, it's difficult for us to choose which events to highlight on our site," a Google spokesperson told the Washington Post on Sunday. "Sometimes for a given date, we feature an historical event or influential figure that we haven't in the past."
The California-based Mexican Heritage Festival, however, praised the selection.
"Bravo Google for honoring Cesar, a man of faith and peace on this Easter Sunday," the organization tweeted.
Others, meanwhile, took the opportunity to poke fun at the sometimes-surprising way Google alters its logo on its ubiquitous search engine.
"Google's Cesar Chavez doodle controversy: Much adoodle about nothing?" Karen Lopez asked.
Google has created more than 1,000 doodles since 1998, when the concept was born when company founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin altered the logo to indicate their attendance at the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert.
"Doodles are the fun, surprising, and sometimes spontaneous changes that are made to the Google logo to celebrate holidays, anniversaries, and the lives of famous artists, pioneers, and scientists," a Google website reads.
The ideas for the doodles come from several sources, including Google users.
"The doodle selection process aims to celebrate interesting events and anniversaries that reflect Google's personality and love for innovation," the website continues.
A search of Google's past doodles for phrases like "Jesus" produced zero results.

Scientists call it the "kiss of death." The "kiss" comes from a tiny bug that can actually kill humans and pets.
The bugs have long been a problem in South American countries but they made their way closer to home and are now infiltrating the Mid-South.
Their scientific name is Triatoma but the insect, which has colorful markings, is better known as the 'kissing bug'.
Do not let the romantic name fool you. They are bloodthirsty intruders that transmit a deadly disease.
"It has a mouth part that it uses to suck food and in this case blood," said University of Memphis Biological Scientist Dr. Duane McKenna.
Dr. McKenna said some kissing bugs transmit Chagas disease, a potentially fatal illness that attacks the heart and nervous system.
Chagas disease kills thousands of people each year in Central America and South America.
While cases of Chagas disease are rarely seen in the United States, two species of kissing bugs carrying the disease have been discovered in Tennessee.
"The insect has been here. The causative agent of the disease has been around. It's not something new," said Dr. Daniel Sprenger, Shelby County Health Department.
What might surprise you is that it is not the kissing bug's bite that transmits the disease. Instead, it is the bug's feces that transmits the disease.
"It's only when that waste gets rubbed into a wound that one can get the disease," said Dr. McKenna.
We asked entomologist Carl Olsen how an insect with such a disgusting habit got a seemingly harmless nickname.
"They'll feed on any naked skin but they just don't want to climb under material," said Olsen.
So they go for the face, mostly at night as you sleep.
Bill Savary and his wife turned their home into a fortress after Bill developed an allergic reaction from multiple kissing bug bites.
"My tongue started swelling. I turned to talk to her to say something's wrong. Only it didn't come out well because my tongue was sticking half out of my mouth," said Bill Savary.
The Savarys live in Tucson, Arizona, where an estimated 40 percent of kissing bugs carry the pathogen that causes Chagas disease.
No one has been infected yet and nobody knows why.
Kissing bugs may pose the biggest threat to our pets. Experts say it is the animals that are the preferred feeding ground.
"It was through illness in dogs that was really brought to our attention," said Dr. Sprenger.
When the Tennessee Department of Health tested 860 dogs, more than 6 percent tested positive for the parasite.
Now more than ever, humans are being tested.
If you have ever donated blood, you may have heard of Chagas disease. It is a question on Lifeblood's donor screening application.
"We conduct more than a dozen infectious disease tests and we test for Chagas disease," said Jennifer Balenk, Lifeblood.
Experts say you are more likely to contract Chagas disease from someone who has visited South America than by being bitten by a kissing bug.
But there is no guarantee against the kiss of death.
"Can't say 100 percent it won't happen, but I can say the probability is pretty low," said Olsen.

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/21/13 -- Antofagasta Gold Inc. ("Antofagasta" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: AN) is pleased to announce it has entered into an option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with a Chilean based mining company (the "Vendor") to acquire between 85% and 100% of various claim blocks collectively called Pampas El Penon Property (the "Property"). The Property consists of 70 mining claims totaling 19,300 hectares partially surrounding Yamana Gold's El Penon mine and is located approximately 130 km south-east of Antofagasta, Chile. The Property consists of seven separate blocks as close as 4 km from El Penon, including the land package immediately to the west of the Pampa Augusta Victoria discovery veins. Over 20 epithermal veins, with a cumulative strike length in excess of 10 km, have been identified on surface, some of which have been explored by trenching and/or reverse circulation drilling by previous owners.
The Property covers land in the same geological environment as the El Penon Mine (total of 7.5 million gold equivalent ounces in mineral reserves and resources as of December 31, 2012), hosting several identified north-south trending epithermal quartz veins with anomalous gold and silver at or near surface. The veins are typically 1 to over 6 metres wide with individual strike lengths of over 1.5 kilometres. The most prominent vein identified to date lies approximately 1000 metres west of Yamana's Pampa Augusta Victoria discovery vein system.
Historical results from trenching and drilling on these veins, as provided to the Company by the Vendor, have demonstrated anomalous values up to 1.2 gpt Au & 16.9 gpt Ag at or very near surface. Mineralized veins in this area, including those at Yamana's Pampa Augusta Victoria and El Penon deposits, are predominantly north-south trending and typically host gold & silver resources starting between 150-300 metres below surface. Anomalous gold and silver in veins overlying the resource is common and considered a positive indicator of economic mineralization. Historical work consisted primarily of mapping, surface sampling, trenching, and reverse circulation drilling.
William Randall, President & CEO of Antofagasta Gold, commented: "We are extremely satisfied with what we have achieved to date. Since September of 2012 Antofogasta Gold has signed the Capricornio option agreement, completed a $7.5 million private placement, commenced a diamond drilling program, and has now closed the Pampas El Penon option agreement. We expect to continue actively looking for opportunities to grow the company and create shareholder value while working the existing portfolio.
William Randall added "The Pampas El Penon Property complements our flagship Capricornio Property nicely. Both properties host known epithermal gold and silver bearing quartz veins in a well recognized and developed mining district. The Pampas El Penon land package increases our exposure to high grade gold districts increasing our chances of defining quality ounces. Antofagasta Gold now has two strategic land positions and is in a strong position to continue advancing its goal to be a leading explorer and developer of mineral properties in Chile."
A map of the Pampas El Penon property can be found here.
Antofagasta Gold planned exploration
The Company intends to initiate an exploration program covering the Property as soon as possible. In general, exploration will initially focus on the areas with identified north-south epithermal veins that have only been explored at or near surface. The program is designed to initially identify the veins by surface mapping and geophysical surveys (primarily ground magnetic & CSAMT surveys). Once the veins, or potential veins if not outcropping, have been identified diamond drilling will commence. Diamond drilling is anticipated to occur in "fences", where sections are drilled off down to a depth of at least 400 metres below surface on regular spacing.
Terms of the Deal
The Pampas El Penon Property has been divided into two groups of claims, the Worked Claims and the Greenfield Claims, based on the mineral exploration work completed by the Vendor.
The Worked Claims have an aggregate surface area of 4,300 hectares. Within these claims significant work has been performed, including, but not limited to, trenching and diamond drilling.
The Greenfield claims have an aggregate surface area of 14,900 hectares. Within these claims there has been very little work completed.
Pursuant to the Option Agreement entered into between the Company and the Vendor with respect to the 4,300 hectares of Worked Claims, the Company may acquire a 100% interest in the Property by paying to the Vendor, on a per hectare basis, as follows: (i) USD$10 per hectare on signing; (ii) USD$20 per hectare on or before February 11, 2014; (iii) USD$50 per hectare on or before February 11, 2015; (iv) USD$130 per hectare on or before February 11, 2016; and (v) USD$240 per hectare on or before February 11, 2017. The initial payment on signing has been made.
In addition, the Company has committed to incur exploration and development expenditures on the Worked Claims over the option term as follows: (i) USD$150 per hectare by February 11, 2014; (ii) an additional USD$250 per hectare by February 11, 2015; (iii) an additional USD$325 per hectare by February 11, 2016; and (iv) an additional USD$350 per hectare by February 11, 2017. The Vendor shall retain a sliding scale royalty with respect to the precious metals produced from the Pampas El Penon Property.
The Company may reduce the land position by any number of hectares it chooses at its sole discretion during the term of the Option Agreement, thus reducing the size of its Worked Claims property package, future payments and exploration commitments.
In addition, pursuant to the Option Agreement entered into between the Company and the Vendor with respect to the 14,900 hectares of Greenfield Claims, the Company may acquire an 85% interest in the Property by paying to the Vendor, on a per hectare basis, as follows: (i) USD$1 per hectare on signing; (ii) USD$3 per hectare on or before February 11, 2014; (iii) USD$6 per hectare on or before February 11, 2015; (iv) USD$15 per hectare on or before February 11, 2016; and (v) USD$40 per hectare on or before February 11, 2017. The initial payment on signing has been made.
In addition, the Company has committed to incur exploration and development expenditures on the Greenfield Claims over the option term, as follows: (i) USD$10 per hectare by February 11, 2014; (ii) an additional USD$20 per hectare by February 11, 2015; (iii) an additional USD$50 per hectare by February 11, 2016; and (iv) an additional USD$290 per hectare by February 11, 2017. The Vendor shall retain a sliding scale royalty with respect to the precious metals produced from the Pampas El Penon Property.
The Company may reduce the land position by any number of hectares it chooses during the term of the Option Agreement, thus reducing the size of its Greenfield Claims property package, future payments and exploration commitments. The Vendor shall retain a sliding scale royalty with respect to the precious metals produced from the Pampas El Penon Property.
The technical and scientific aspects of this news release have been reviewed and approved by Mr. Vernon Arseneau, P.Geo, who has been designated as a qualified person pursuant to under NI 43-101. As the Vice President of Exploration of the Company, Mr. Arseneau is not considered independent.
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Antofagasta Gold Inc.
William Randall, President and CEO

In 2011, 18 shows were staged at Aaron's Amphitheatre at Lakewood.
This season, that number jumped to 26, the first time since 2004 that the venue presented more than 25 shows.
Were there sellouts? Sure. Two nights for Jason Aldean, one each for Zac Brown Band, Dave Matthews Band, Jimmy Buffett and Phish, who returned to the venue after a nine-year absence.
Most of the other shows were in the 15,000-17,000 range (the amphitheater caps at about 19,000), with even newbies to the shed scene, such as Wiz Khalifa with Mac Miller, pulling in a crowd of about 12,000.
The reasons are many-fold.
"It was a big touring cycle," said Akeasha Branch, general manager of the venue. "It helps to have Jason [Aldean] doing two nights and Drake stepping up from college tours to headlining amphitheaters."
Peter Conlon, president of Live Nation Atlanta, which operates Lakewood, believes that the concert industry, which obviously suffered greatly during the worst of the recession, is finally off life support.
"It's definitely doing better, and the industry also assessed some things like pricing and programs. But people are more comfortable spending money on entertainment. I think confidence is up a bit," he said.
Branch also credits inventive tour parings, such as Brad Paisley and The Band Perry or Motley Crue and KISS, as incentives for fans to plunk down 100 bucks.
But despite the success on paper, Lakewood Amphitheatre, located between downtown Atlanta and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport near the Screen Gems studio, receives plenty of criticism for what many believe are unpleasant aesthetics ("a dump," is the term frequently heard).
The folks in charge hear those comments and they have one message: Come and see it for yourself.
"Most people who say those things haven't been here in awhile," said Branch. "Just because we're of age (the venue is 23 years old) doesn't mean that we're flawed. Yes, a new building may have shiner new things, but at the end of the day, we offer the same thing. The [nearly] 300,000 fans who came through our building this season don't have a problem with it."
Conlon, too, is aware of what he calls misperceptions about the amphitheater and is quick to reel off the positive characteristics of the building.
"It has a good road network around it, great sightlines, the largest video screens that I know of in the country," he said. "Driving through, the neighborhood has changed. The [surrounding] buildings have been restored by Screen Gems. When you get to the venue, the fencing has changed, the parking lot has been resurfaced."
The venue did indeed receive a noticeable sprucing up this season, including the addition of new signage from Aaron's (which earlier this year extended its naming rights contract through the 2014 season); a food truck scene to complement the usual concessions, where some items received a price slashing; two VIP decks; and other improvements not visible to fans, such as roof and pipe work.
In the past four to five years, Conlon estimates about $4 million was spent on upgrades – "That's a lot for a venue," he said.
This offseason, more tweaks will be made, starting with ripping out about 2,500 seats in the front section and replacing them removable versions so the pit can become general admission when an artist requests it.
The first set of onsales for the 2013 season will likely be announced in January and Conlon is hopeful to produce a 25-plus show lineup again.
"We're finding more acts are wanting to play the venue who historically didn't like it before," he said. "We re-educated some artists and agents as to what this place is now. With fans, we did the same thing. When you have the artists who want to come back and the fans who want to see them…this is kind of the future."

I hope the Allman Brothers play at Lakewood in 2013. Those were some of my favorite concert memories of the past 20 years. You just can't beat the lawn here, except for Masquerade Music Park, but I don't think the fans would fit in there!

Why neglect the metal shows? Iron Maiden was packed solid, as was the Mayhem Festival.

The average price for lawn seats at Lakewood has gone up way past the point of ridiculousness. A few summers ago, most lawn tickets hovered around $25; this year, they were $10-20 more per show. The shows I attended were about half-full and had available reserved seats. Live Nation has a stranglehold on Atlanta's mainstream live music scene and it's hurting the diversity of shows available and raising prices for listeners.

2,500 removable seats to make bigger pits = a fantastic idea that is long overdue. I would have loved to see Maiden from a bigger pit.

never seen so many tailgaters in my life – people partying, grilling and drinking with not a care in the world and this is on both the Pryor Road side and the Lakewood Ave. side – all the talk of how bad the neighborhood is has no effect whatsoever on concertgoers – the same applies for Turner Field and the Georgia Dome – nobody cares if the hyper-paranoid , scardy-cat crowd stays away because the big acts and big games will sell out those venues without them

I would go back if they added more comfy seats or brought the stage closer to lawn visitors. I bought a lawn ticket and needed binoculars to see the act. Chastain I find is more intimate, closer seating, and in my opinion more secure than Lakewood. As for food, contract out with a restaurant so they can advertise their menu prices and people will not get raked over the coals for food and drink.

I have had the pleasure of attending concerts at Lakewood ( in all of its different sponsorship names ) for many many years and for all types of music. I would choose a concert at Lakewood over any other outdoor venue in the Atlanta area. Whoever says that it is in a bad location needs to get over themselves. The parking, the concession malls, the employees, everything about this venue is superlative to Verizon. It may be less "pretty" but just try standing up and dancing in the chairs at Verizon..you can't move, they stuff so many people in there. AND..try to get out of Verizon..what madness. I am a Definite fan of Lakewood and look forward to many many more enjoyable experiences in the years to come…

They didn't spruce up the restrooms- the nastiest restrooms in ANY venue I've ever been in.
December 3rd, 2012
2:05 pm
The neighborhood is still horrendous but even if you get through that gauntlet the reality is that the venue itself definitely shows its age. Combine that with lackluster security, the aforementioned bathrooms, the comical concession pricing … it takes something exceptionally appealing to make suffering the venue worthwhile. And that's what Lakewood is: something that you suffer through. Verizon has it beat 12 ways to Sunday (yes, twice as much as the traditional 6 ways).
December 3rd, 2012
2:15 pm
Peter Conlon has obviously never had to drive or park at Lakewood. He said "It has a good road network around it"…. WTH? There's pretty much one way in and one way out the back way and one way in and one way out the front way (to the paved lot). Any way you go, you have to either go through horribly bad neighborhoods or sit in long lines of traffic because of inadequate ways to get to the main artery (the 75/85 interstate) to get home. I went to a concert there late last year. I left during the last song BEFORE IT WAS EVEN OVER. I was in the gravel lot and I spent 45 MINUTES just to GET to the road which takes you to the interstate. It's because there were no #$%^&* police officers or security or venue staff directing cars out of the gravel lot in an orderly manner. So I got to my car at 10:55 p.m. and didn't EXIT the parking lot until after 11:45 p.m. That is inexcusable. That doesn't happen at Philips, the Dome, Chastain, Verizon, or any other concert arena in Atlanta.
I still go to some shows at Lakewood, only because it's the ONLY place some artists will play. But if I EVER have a chance to go to Verizon or Chastain or Philips, I jump at the chance — MUCH better transportation around those places.
And to echo what some other people said on here: the restrooms at Lakewood are horrid — the concession stands a questionable and don't look clean — the parking is a cluster — and the acoustics aren't much better than anywhere else. Plus, often times, you have to put up with idiots around you who are drunk, smoking cigarettes (who smokes anymore???) or even smoking whacky weed. If you pay $60 or $80 for a concert ticket, go enjoy the music — why in God's name would you get so wasted that you can't remember the experience???
I hope that someday, Lakewood is either replaced or moves out of the Atlanta area to a better suburban location. And if anyone wants to see how a REAL amphitheater experience should be, go to Verizon — outstanding staff, great parking and traffic flow, easy to get to, clean restrooms, clean concession stands, a safe neighborhood, and a great overall experience.
And for the record, I'm not some amateur who has been to 5 concerts in my life… I am a veteran of well over 100 shows all over the Southeast. Lakewood is okay for a 'big arena' feel for big rock concerts, but the traffic flow, parking, cleanliness, staff competency and general experience leave a LOT to be desired.
December 3rd, 2012
2:44 pm
It wasn't too bad if you paid the $$$$ to park in the Lakewood lot. I remember a few years ago parking off site and having to step over a dead cat or opossum on the sidewalk that had been there for a few weeks. Not too bad once you were inside though. Verizon is much nicer and closer to me.
December 3rd, 2012
3:17 pm
The parking at Lakewood is horrendous!!! I really wouldn't call it much of a gravel lot because of the dust & mud. If you choose to park in this lot, you have to leave before the final songs or you'll spend hours trying to get out. I don't understand why on earth they have all the traffic funneling down to one lane to exit the gate. Just stupid. Verizon has Lakewood beat hands down.
December 3rd, 2012
3:27 pm
Wow Jeff, I couldn't disagree more. Parking is not an issue really. If you were such a veteran, you'd know to park in one of the outside lots to avoid the wait. I've parked inside as well and never took longer than 20 minutes or so to exit. The reason Lakewood is so beloved is because the lawn seats have always been so cheap and it is so huge. Your problem with drunks is the same at any venue. Smoking, I agree on, but being outside mitigates this pretty well. Ditto on the restrooms…I do think they are on the nasty side, mostly because they don't have enough of them for when the venue is packed…but I try not to spend much time there. Also, "whacky weed" does not zap one's memory of a concert, just so you know. And safe neighborhood? Are you kidding? Are you going to a concert or buying a house? There really is no comparison in Atlanta as far as I'm aware for a concert venue with such a huge lawn. Chastain's is tiny and sells out in seconds…and the patrons are the snobbiest I've ever seen that talk through entire shows. BUT…if you hate lawns and are the type of person whose idea of camping is a 5-star hotel room…this venue is not for you.

Having moved from the ATL area in 93, I haven't been to Lakewood since then but I did go to some of the best concerts from 88-93. Everyone from Van Halen to Ozzy Osbourne. I have some great memories of that place. I always thought it was a great place to see a show.
December 3rd, 2012
8:07 pm
I've been to dozens of shows at Lakewood (though none in the last few yrs). Never had a bad experience, and more than a few great ones. I never understood the contempt for the place. Sure, Verizon is closer to me, so if I had to choose, it would win. Lakewood is a fine venue, and I would not hesitate to return.
MoFaux, loved this: "Are you going to a concert or buying a house?" And I saw nearly every Allmans show put on there. Good times!

Went to many a concert at Lakewood in the 80s…lots of hair bands. I did actually return for the Jimmy Buffett show this year, but yeah the bathroom situation leaves a lot to be desired. And the drink prices are through the roof. But we mitigated this by bringing our own facilities (RV) and plenty of our own food and drink for tailgating. As for the traffic…I was the designated drinker, so I didn't have to worry about that

Every time I hear about Lakewood, I remember the Southeastern Fair, going to it in the early seventies with my now deceased father. Also, the Burt Reynolds movie that was filmed there. How different 1974 and 2012 are; paradise lost…

What man writes in to comment & snarks the rest room at a concert venue? All venues have there secrets: the best lots to park (or better yet, the free spots near some venues), but who really cares about concessions? You really need that $8 Bud or Coors Light? Food? Really? Because you need to eat at one of the 3 classic rock shows you'll see this year (out of the 3 concerts you'll see this year, btw).
I'm not defending the place, per se. It's an ok venue, as sheds go, and nothing more. Whatever it once was, it isn't now. I just laugh at all the totaly inconsequential stuff that people get wrapped around the axel over. The aging rock concert attending public is hilarious, and I'm in my 50's. Oh, and Chastain? No matter how classy it can be, when those Buckhead valium housewives are there, breaking out the plastic china, it rarely gets worse, and it's rarely a concert experience I want. Please, b*tches, STFU.

Donations pour in for crash victimBy Brent Curtis
staff writer | April 17,2014
The life-threatening crash has been a shock, but the donations and support that have poured in for Nathan Whitehorne during the last week have been an inspiration, according to his friends and co-workers.
The 41-year-old West Rutland man was critically injured when his truck crashed head on into a school bus stopped at a set of railroad tracks on Route 3 last Thursday in Rutland Town.
His friends and co-workers at the kennel he owns said Wednesday that Whitehorne had just dropped his daughter off at school and was on his way to work when the crash occurred. Vermont State Police said Wednesday they are still investigating the incident and have yet to determine a cause.
Whitehorne was taken by helicopter to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center where doctors performed open-heart surgery to save his life.
A week after the crash, Whitehorne's friends say he remains in the New Hampshire hospital and has had two more surgeries to repair broken bones in his hand and leg.
"He's doing really well considering what he's been through," said Rebecca Carr, the shop manager and trainer at Whitehorne's business, 4 Paws Academy, and his longtime friend. "He will be off the ventilator in a few days and that will be a big step forward, but he's going to be in recovery for a long time."
To help Whitehorne's family pay medical bills and other expenses during that long process, Carr this week posted an appeal on the website Gofundme seeking $25,000 in donations.
Two days later, 195 supporters have contributed more than $14,000 toward that goal.
"It's getting huge," Carr said. "We're so grateful to everyone."
The Gofundme posting is only one way to help the stricken businessman and father.
On Saturday, May 10, the kennel's employees will be hosting a dog wash at their day school on North Grove Street in Rutland Town and on June 1 supporters are planning a basket raffle.
Nicole Bishop, who is a client at the kennel, said she is one of a number of Whitehorne's customers who have been inspired to help him.
"Initially, we got the word out just by Facebook and email but it's spread like wildfire from there," she said.
Lisa Wood, another of the kennel's clients, was integral last week in finding Whitehorne's dog, which was so panicked after surviving the crash that no one could approach it.
After Vermont State Police at the scene were unable to lay hands on the dog, a 2-year-old Belgian Malinois named Minion, Wood went looking for the dog with her own Belgian, Stoley, about five hours after the crash.
"He was circling (the crash site) for hours. He kept trying to go back to the accident scene but Nate wasn't there anymore," she said. "He was so freaked out, he didn't want to go to anyone."
He didn't want to go near humans, but when Stoley ran circles around him, Wood said, the big dog calmed down enough for her to get closer.
Carr was a former client herself. But she said in the three years since she met Whitehorne, he and his kennel inspired her to leave her career as a schoolteacher to teach canines instead.
"I believed enough in what he's doing here to leave my career," she said. "He has influenced more people than I think even he can comprehend."
"He would do anything for any one of us," Whitehorne's apprentice, Jamie Hawley, added.
Those interested in making donations to support the Whitehorne family can visit gofundme.com. There is also a need for volunteers to help with a number of projects planned this spring. Those interested in assisting can contact Brian at email@example.com.
Those interested in donating baskets can send emails to either Bishop at email@example.com or to Danielle Poirier at email@example.com.

Definition of antinomy in English:
antinomySyllabification: an·tin·o·my
Pronunciation: /anˈtinəmē /
noun (plural antinomies)
A contradiction between two beliefs or conclusions that are in themselves reasonable; a paradox.
More example sentences
- According to Kant, antinomies are not genuine contradictions, since both of the propositions that constitute them are false, being based on a false assumption.
- Thus, Frege himself concluded that the antinomy was due to unclarities in the symbolism Russell used to formulate the paradox.
- Although the result is a non-standard account of geometry as an inexact science, Hume thinks that he thereby preserves reason from otherwise irresolvable antinomies.
late 16th century (in the sense 'a conflict between two laws'): from Latin antinomia, from Greek, from anti 'against' + nomos 'law'.

Elijah Cummings, D-Md., sent a letter last week demanding that Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez, the administration's top civil rights enforcer, turn over all private emails in which he conducted official government business. The bipartisan letter demanded that all emails — identified by the DOJ itself as numbering about 1,200 — by given to the committee in unredacted form by last Friday. Perez is the administration's pick to be the new labor secretary.
Committee spokesman Ali Ahmad told me today that Perez has yet to turn over the emails, instead offering only to allow congressional staff to glimpse at who he sent exchanged them with:
Mr. Perez has yet to comply with the Committee's subpoena. As the follow up letter signed by the Chairman and Ranking Member makes clear, Mr. Perez must produce the documents to the Committee. The Department of Justice, to whom the subpoena was not addressed, did write to offer that Committee staff could review in camera the to, from, and date fields of the emails—but not the substance. This does not comply with the subpoena.
The minority side's spokeswoman, Jennifer Hoffman, took a more upbeat view, telling me via email: "They offered to let us review the rest of the docs, which we intend to do later this week."
Either way you look at, Perez — a top Justice Department official, remember — has refused to comply with an official subpoena. That could put a kink in the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee vote set for Thursday on his nomination to be labor secretary.
Republicans believe Perez was using the private email account to circumvent federal transparency laws in conducting official business. This has been a pattern with this administration, with former Environmental Protection Agency Director Lisa Jackson was found to have used a private account — under an apparent pseudonym "Richard Windsor" – to conduct EPA business.
Perez's GOP critics have been highlighting an unusual quid pro quo deal he arranged with the city of St. Paul, Minn. Perez arranged to get the federal government to drop out of two cases pending against city. One was a whistleblower case involving an estimated $200 million in federal funds.
In exchange, the city dropped a case it was pursuing that could have let the Supreme Court clarify when the legal theory of "disparate impact" could be used in civil rights cases. Perez is a staunch advocate of the theory, which holds that it is not necessary to show an intent to discriminate to prove such a case. Republicans allege Perez tried to hide the fact that he was making the deal from others in the government.

Hyperthyroidism means overactivity of the thyroid gland, resulting in too much thyroid hormone in the bloodstream. The oversecretion of thyroid hormones leads to overactivity of the body's metabolism. Although there are several forms of hyperthyroidism, the most common is Graves' disease.
Graves' disease is most often associated with hyperthyroidism and is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism found in pregnancy. Researchers believe Graves' disease is caused by an antibody that stimulates the thyroid too much, in turn, causing the excess production of thyroid hormone. Graves' disease is categorized as an autoimmune disorder (a dysfunction of the body's immune system). The disease is most common in young to middle-aged women and tends to run in families.
The symptoms of Graves' disease are identical to hyperthyroidism, with the addition of three other symptoms. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. The three additional symptoms include the following:
Goiter (enlarged thyroid that may cause a bulge in the neck)
Bulging eyes (exophthalmos)
Thickened skin over the shin area
The following are the most common symptoms of hyperthyroidism. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Increased perspiration
Thinning of the skin
Fine, brittle hair
Weak muscles, especially in the upper arms and thighs
Shaky hands
Fast heartbeat
High blood pressure
Increased bowel movements
Weight loss
Sleeping difficulty
Eye sensitivity to light
Irregular menstrual cycles
The symptoms of hyperthyroidism may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
Healthy thyroid glands function normally in pregnancy. Less than 1 percent of women have excessive thyroid function in pregnancy. Hyperthyroidism due to Graves disease in pregnancy tends to worsen in the first half of pregnancy, improve in the second half, and then worsen again during the postpartum period.
Uncontrolled hyperthyroidism has many effects. It may lead to preterm birth (before 37 weeks of pregnancy) and low birthweight. The most common complication is preeclampsia, a form of gestational hypertension (high blood pressure of pregnancy) in women with hyperthyroidism.
A severe life-threatening form of hyperthyroidism, called thyroid storm, may complicate pregnancy. This is a condition in which there are extremely high levels of thyroid hormone that can cause high fever, dehydration, diarrhea, rapid and irregular heart rate, shock, and death, if not treated.
Medications to treat hyperthyroidism may affect the fetus and newborn. Some medications may be associated with birth defects. It is not clear if anti-thyroid medications cause hypothyroidism (low levels of thyroid) in the fetus and newborn. Neonatal hyperthyroidism may occur in a small percentage of newborns. Although most cases are temporary and do not cause problems for the baby, careful monitoring of the baby is important.
Specific treatment for hyperthyroidism will be determined by your doctor based on:
Your overall health and medical history
Type of hyperthyroidism
Extent of the disease
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the disease
Your opinion or preference
Treatment for hyperthyroidism is very specific for each patient. The goal of treatment is to maintain normal levels of thyroid hormone. Treatment may include:
Frequent monitoring of thyroid levels throughout pregnancy
Antithyroid medications, if the benefit of treatment outweighs the risk. Propylthiouracil and methimazole are the most common drugs used.
Surgery to remove part of the thyroid (the overactive nodule)
Use of radioactive iodine, in the form of a pill or liquid, which damages thyroid cells is not safe in pregnancy.
Women with hyperthyroidism can increase their chances for a healthy pregnancy by getting early prenatal care and working with their health care providers in the management of their disease.

Ex Goldman Sachs Wealth Manager, Jonathan Pfahl, is founder and Managing Director of the Rockstar Mentoring Group which offers entrepreneur mentoring and business funding.
What is 'REAL' Mentoring? And how can it be part of an entrepreneur's quest for investment when funds are particularly tight?
REAL Mentoring is when you are seeking guidance from an entrepreneur who has GENUINELY been there and done it. REAL mentors can be used to help you get your business funded or purely through helping one achieve financial goals in their business. The average Rockstar Mentor has started, grown and sold at least one company for £18m! In nearly every sector in the UK. Having one of those mentors, from your sector as part of your team in the business plan and then having them sit next to you helping you do the pitch is why the Rockstar Funding Model works so well.
What makes a mentor?
The word "mentor" comes from the Latin word "Mentore" which means "to emulate" or "to be like". Therefore what makes a very successful businessman or woman that other business people want to learn from to help them achieve the same level of success.
How did the experience of setting up your own business help to shape or inform the service you provide? Was it the inspiration?
Yes it was. Setting up my own successful business was done through the assistance of having a REAL mentor show me how to do it. I then, in my spare time, began mentoring other businesses years later, enjoyed it and thus created Rockstar to scale up what I was doing and give more people the opportunity to be mentored.
What was the biggest hurdle to overcome in setting up?
Getting the brand and reputation out to the number of people we needed for it to work. Unlike a lot of startups, we had a large marketing spend but learnt very quickly that even that will not work if you are not investing in the right measurable marketing strategies for the right type of audience. What we do now to market ourselves is almost completely opposite to what we used to do… This has come from trial and error with a big budget and, in hindsight, I would have done things differently in relation to our marketing than when we started 5 years ago… But hindsight is a wonderful thing! – as they say.
Do you have one tip for people looking to fund their business idea?
YES – prove you have a market! That does not include Googling surveys and statistics online. Go out there and speak to your potential customers, explain what you would like to offer them and ask them if they would buy it from you. Better still, actually make some sales before pitching. If you have not at least sold what you do to a good number of people and can prove that you have people who are willing to buy your product, then focus everything on making that happen first before asking someone else to take all the risk!
And finally, is this Generation Startup?
YES. One of the key positives that the recession caused was to drive up the number of people who are now serious and motivated to start their own business. In the 5 years we've been mentoring businesses in the UK, it is clear that a lot more people are wanting to become entrepreneurs.

McMinnville woman arrested on forgery, theft charges; embezzlement alleged
Nov 14, 2012 | 2 Comments
News-Register Staff
A McMinnville woman was arrested Tuesday by the Yamhill County Sheriff's Office on forgery and theft charges that allege she embezzled more than $40,000 from her former employer, Southern Cross Aviation of Yamhill.
Detective Don Stackpole identified her as Renee Willkomm Ireland, 43, of 2030 N.W. St. Andrews Drive. She was taken into custody at her boyfriend's house where she has been staying, according to the detective.
A warrant issued last week for Ireland's arrest charged her with eight counts of identity theft, five counts of first-degree forgery, four counts of aggravated first-degree theft and two counts of first-degree theft. They are all felony charges.
She is lodged locally in jail on $100,000 bail pending arraignment at 1:20 p.m. today in circuit court.
"She was an office manager," Stackpole said. "She was terminated last February, but that was not related to this case. Following her termination, all of this came to light and the company contacted the sheriff's office."
He said he has been working the case since last April. Stackpole said Ireland wrote checks to herself on the company's bank account without the knowledge of the owners.
A Southern Cross employee declined to comment on the case.
Southern Cross contracts with airplane manufacturers and provides test flight pilots in addition to ferrying aircraft to buyers worldwide.
The business delivered its first aircraft in 1976, a single-engine Cessna from California to Australia, according to its website. Since the early days of ferrying small aircraft to Australia, Southern Cross has expanded into a worldwide aircraft delivery company, having delivered aircraft to more than 100 countries on all six continents.
Southern Cross consists of two companies, the one located in Yamhill and another in the Netherlands. Both companies deliver more than 150 aircraft and test fly more than 100 annually.
Ireland will return to court at 3 p.m. Monday, Dec. 10.

People - Real Faith
Becoming A Strong Woman
by DeBorrah K Ogans
Click here for more details.
What does it take to be a Strong Woman ?
Within the context of the Bible there are many women who lived exemplary lives under strenuous conditions. They exude an excellent strength that allowed them to still keep their femininity enact yet be quite forceful. They continued to grow spiritually and make their mark in the world. With God you can become a godly woman at any point in your life it is never too late! For example; Miriam worked faithfully along side of her brothers Moses and Aaron. Rahab a harlot; gave up her promiscuous life to help the spies of peace and all that was in her household were saved! Esther through driven tenacity her perseverance under insurmountable odds saved her people. Deborah a wise judge, who the people came to for direction, led men into battle and helped to victoriously win that battle. Jael, in fact actually defeated Sisera the commander of that army. It was the women who remained at the cross when Jesus was crucified and it was the women who were the first to bring the "Good News" that Jesus had risen and was alive!
In order to know God personally a woman must have an ongoing relationship with Him! This involves commitment to His Word as well as times of stillness and solitude. Occasionally flicking through the pages of the Bible and pulling out a scripture or two will not do. You need to take time to develop your relationship! This will spare you much heartache! God knows right where you are; and He Loves you! One must commit to develop quiet time with Him in order to contemplate and digest His Word and apply it to your life. It is at this time, as a woman you are able to develop a keen sense of who you are in Christ and then commit to living by the Truth of His Word. Yes, we live in the world and are to interact, socialize and fellowship with one another. But in order to grow in His wisdom, grace and knowledge you must learn spiritual boundaries!
Being a strong godly woman is inclusive of many things. It takes a strong woman to organize and efficiently run a household or a business. To create an environment that is inclusive of spiritual development, positive healthy family dynamics and fun and enjoyable activities for the family, friends or workers to engage in and enjoy! There is a vast array of pursuits for a woman nowadays. Many have too often put aside God and conformed to the world's ways. You cannot change anything that has happened. But you can begin to go forward with the Lord now! No matter how old you are God has a place and a plan for you! Many ask can a woman do it all or have it all? Hmmm That all depends. What do you mean by ALL! With God you have everything you will ever need. HE will provide a path for you to do the things He has in His will for you. One must surrender to Him! "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Each of us have been created with varying temperaments, all of us having both strengths and weaknesses. Spiritual growth naturally happens as you abide in Him! He has given us an inner Guide, His precious Holy Spirit! What is so wonderful about God, He says: "My Grace is sufficient for you, for MY strength is made perfect in weakness."
What really is important in life is when the day is over and the stillness of night is upon you, are you content? Do you feel that you are moving towards fulfilling your life's destination? We all are quite different, what works for one may not work for another. But God's principles apply to all of us! Have you experienced the JOY that only comes from knowing the Lord! Yes, you love your spouse, family, friends and..... But as a women of God you praise, worship and adore the Lord as well " He gets Center priority!" God has a void in all of us only He can fill! You can become "like a tree that is planted by the rivers," you can stand strong when you are rooted in Him! Bad things do happen to good people! But, you are able to go through with Him and help others to go through as well. Persecutions, trials and tribulations are a part of life. They stretch us! But, one can be of good cheer! There comes a Peace from knowing that Jesus has overcome the world for us!
Traveling is a wonderful experience that can expose you to different lifestyles and cultures. It will help to broaden your perspective and give you valuable insight. Realizing that everywhere you go God is with you, you become more aware of and appreciate His marvelous handiwork all about you! Today, one can travel and communicate all over the world and never leave their home or office. Our world is going through many transitions. "The grass is not always greener on the other side." True security and significance can really only be found in the Lord! Commit to being the same person you are at Church at home, school and at work. Begin to be real with God! Everything you will every want or need is possible through Him! You do not have to become dull or uninteresting or give up having fun. Quite the contrary! You can age gracefully always striving to be the "BEST YOU," No one can be a better you than you! God has created each one of us with a plan and purpose in mind. It is a choice to pursue it His way, do your own thing or the world's way!
At some point you may need to perhaps take time and get away from it all. It is important from time to time to take a personal inventory to see just where you are in your walk with the Lord! You can also just set aside some quiet time "To BE STILL and KNOW" and do so as well! Ask yourself? Are you growing spiritually? Are you bogged down by the pressures of life? Are you consumed with everyone else's life and don't have one of your own? Have you simply gotten into a ritualistic rut? Are you on a fast track that is taking you to a destination that someone else wants you on or designed for you?
Are you faithfully keeping the embers burning in your marriage? Singles are you staying close to the Lord until ...? Are you at peace or are you constantly stressed? Are you being the "Best You?" I realize that there are many things going on in life. It can be overwhelming with all the "stuff" going on about us in the world! To some degree we all have been impacted. But you have to make a point to not let it get you down. Nor to just roll along and let life happen. If it has or before it does, change your focus. Shift your focus to God give Him His place in your life! Don't let life just pass you by and not find some time to enjoy it. God our Father, Creator and Maker really does have it all under His control!
Spending quality time with God will help point you in the right direction. It will do wonders for your prayer life. Prayer is not always verbal. Praying without ceasing is a cognizant state of mind, of God's Omnipresence. Prayer is communicating with God, prayer involves listening! Pray for your spouse! Pray for your children, family and friends! Pray for your desired future spouse? Pray for our government and this world! As a woman of God eternal life is an absolute certainty. "For It is by grace you have been saved, through FAITH and this is not of yourselves. It is a GIFT from GOD not of works." Ephesians 2 The Word of God has power to strengthen and renew your mind. Knowing, believing and implementing His Word daily in your life is key. Your emotions and actions CAN be transformed by the power of His precious Holy Spirit! God does have a purpose and plan for you! With God at your side you can be a Loving, Strong woman of God. This is a lifelong process and we are "forever becoming!"
