"Nice hotel in a very unique location. No cars are allowed in town. You have to park outside the main gate and walk to the hotel. The hotel is at the end of the town but it is not too far. Make sure you get a balcony. The views are fantastic: sea, castle walls, churches, etc. "

Big Sur and Hearst Castle
Today we left Monterey under overcast skies and a light shower of rain. Not the best start to a day of scenic driving. By the time we hit the coastal drive the showers had cleared and the sun was coming out :) the wind was also blowing though and it was freezing! The Highway 1 drive down the coast was scenic - reminded us a lot of the Great Ocean …

Our guided tour lasted about 40 minutes, and while we were a little disappointed with our limited view of the castle rooms (we were on the Grand Rooms tour and we got to see a living room, dining room, pool table room, and a movie theatre), the castle was impressive. I have included a picture of one of the three "cottages" on the property. Bay Lakers, we should all have places like these! We also loved the fact ...

" Barry this is incredible!" Jeanette giggled and threw her arms into the air. We were riding in the back of Chris's flatbed along the coast, heading to our new home. The salty air was like a cool blanket that coated all 6 of us and it felt so good compared to the arid weather back in Phoenix. Kirk threw his arm around me and planted a big kiss on my cheek. I giggled then threw my arms around his neck and kissed him. Shauna and Dawson burst into laughter at this and Kirk stuck out his tongue at them in response.
" Hope ya'll are getting enough tunes back there!" Chris yelled from the front seat. We all hooted and hollered as Marley cranked up the stereo even louder.
It'd always been all of our dream's to get a townhouse and move in all together. 3 couples, one town house off the coast of Maine. Pretty amazing right? Kirk and I had already flown out here last December to check the place out and it was perfect. When we told everyone else they flipped and immediately began packing and giving us their split of the first month's rent. Kirk's brother, Martin was driving up the U- haul semi about 3 miles up the road from us with his wife Sarah. I still couldn't believe that in just another 2 months I'd have a 2 new sister in laws and a new brother in law. Kirk and were the only couple in the truck who wasn't officially married yet but we didn't mind. I had to have my dream date and I wouldn't get married until that exact day.
" So Melanie, when are you gonna make a decent husband outta Kirk here?" Shauna squawked in her best valley-girl accent. Kirk wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me to him, rubbing his nose against mine.
" I think I make a pretty good one already" I giggled then waved a finger at him.
"ah ah ah! You won't be official until October! So don't get too cocky before you have the papers to!" I blushed then kissed him again this time a little longer.
" Oh get a room!" Barry chuckled, repositioning Jeanette so she was seated on his lap. I shot him a teasing sneer then focused my attention back on Shauna just as Marley yelled,
" Hold on everybody! Bumps!" The girls held onto the walls of the flatbed for dear life while the men held onto their girls. We all exploded into giggles as our stomachs dropped to our feet. The air was crisp and light and the pines towered over us, letting in only a few glowing patches of sunlight here and there.
Just as the road smoothed out again the truck came around the corner to a wide open cliff with a perfect view of the sea.
" none of you kids fall out ,okay?" Chris yelled back with only a slight hint at seriousness. I instantly pulled out my camera and began snapping photos. Kirk looked like he was about to have an aneurism when leaned up against the railing of the truck and he kept a firm grip on my hips in case there were a sudden flaw in the pavement.
" darling I'm a grown woman. I can keep my balance on my own." I snickered but Kirk didn't seem to care. He responded with a grunt and only gripped me tighter.

Quality-adjusted life year
The quality-adjusted life year or quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) is a generic measure of disease burden, including both the quality and the quantity of life lived.[1][2] It is used in economic evaluation to assess the value for money of medical interventions. One QALY equates to one year in perfect health. If an individual's health is below this maximum, QALYs are accrued at a rate of less than 1 per year. To be dead is associated with 0 QALYs, and in some circumstances it is possible to accrue negative QALYs to reflect health states deemed 'worse than dead'.
The QALY is often used in cost-utility analysis in order to estimate the cost-per-QALY associated with a health care intervention. This incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) can then be used to allocate healthcare resources, often using a threshold approach.[3]
In the United Kingdom, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, which advises on the use of health technologies within the National Health Service, has since at least 2013 used "£ per QALY" to evaluate their utility.[4][5]
The concept of the QALY is credited to work by Klarman[6] and later Fanshel and Bush[7] and Torrance [8] who suggested the idea of length of life adjusted by indices of functionality or health.[9] It was officially named the QALY in print in an article by Zeckhauser and Shepard[10] It was later promoted through medical technology assessment conducted by the US Congress Office of Technology Assessment.
Then, in 1980, Pliskin proposed a justification of the construction of the QALY indicator using the multiattribute utility theory: if a set of conditions pertaining to agent preferences on life years and quality of life are verified, then it is possible to express the agent's preferences about couples (number of life years/health state), by an interval (Neumannian) utility function. This utility function would be equal to the product of an interval utility function on « life years », and an interval utility function on « health state ». According to Pliskin et al., The QALY model requires utility independent, risk neutral, and constant proportional tradeoff behaviour.[11] Because of these theoretical assumptions, the meaning and usefulness of the QALY is debated.[12][13][14] Perfect health is hard, if not impossible, to define. Some argue that there are health states worse than being dead, and that therefore there should be negative values possible on the health spectrum (indeed, some health economists have incorporated negative values into calculations). Determining the level of health depends on measures that some argue place disproportionate importance on physical pain or disability over mental health.[15]
The QALY is a measure of the value of health outcomes. Since health is a function of length of life and quality of life, the QALY was developed as an attempt to combine the value of these attributes into a single index number. The basic idea underlying the QALY is simple: it assumes that a year of life lived in perfect health is worth 1 QALY (1 Year of Life × 1 Utility value = 1 QALY) and that a year of life lived in a state of less than this perfect health is worth less than 1. In order to determine the exact QALY value, it is sufficient to multiply the utility value associated with a given state of health by the years lived in that state. QALYs are therefore expressed in terms of "years lived in perfect health": half a year lived in perfect health is equivalent to 0.5 QALYs (0.5 years × 1 Utility), the same as 1 year of life lived in a situation with utility 0.5 (e.g. bedridden) (1 year × 0.5 Utility). QALYs can then be incorporated with medical costs to arrive at a final common denominator of cost/QALY. This parameter can be used to develop a cost-effectiveness analysis of any treatment. Data is collected through use of surveys such as EQ-5D.
The "weight" values between 0 and 1 are usually determined by methods such as those proposed in the Journal of Health Economics:[16]
- Time-trade-off (TTO): Respondents are asked to choose between remaining in a state of ill health for a period of time, or being restored to perfect health but having a shorter life expectancy.
- Standard gamble (SG): Respondents are asked to choose between remaining in a state of ill health for a period of time, or choosing a medical intervention which has a chance of either restoring them to perfect health, or killing them.
- Visual analogue scale (VAS): Respondents are asked to rate a state of ill health on a scale from 0 to 100, with 0 representing being dead and 100 representing perfect health. This method has the advantage of being the easiest to ask, but is the most subjective.
Another way of determining the weight associated with a particular health state is to use standard descriptive systems such as the EuroQol Group's EQ-5D questionnaire, which categorises health states according to five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities (e.g. work, study, homework or leisure activities), pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression.[17]
The method of ranking interventions on grounds of their cost per QALY gained ratio (or ICER) is controversial because it implies a quasi-utilitarian calculus to determine who will or will not receive treatment.[18] However, its supporters argue that since health care resources are inevitably limited, this method enables them to be allocated in the way that is approximately optimal for society, including most patients. Another concern is that it does not take into account equity issues such as the overall distribution of health states – particularly since younger, healthier cohorts have many times more QALYs than older or sicker individuals. As a result, QALY analysis may undervalue treatments which benefit the elderly or others with a lower life expectancy. Also, many would argue that all else being equal, patients with more severe illness should be prioritised over patients with less severe illness if both would get the same absolute increase in utility.[19] In 2013 the results of a European Commission Project, ECHOUTCOME[20][not specific enough to verify] recommended to not use QALYs in health decision making after surveying 1361 subjects in the UK, Belgium, France and Italy and establishing that the four theoretical assumptions underlying QALYs are invalid (quality of life should be measured in consistent intervals; life years and QOL should be independent; people should be neutral about risk; and willingness to sacrifice life years should be constant over time), explaining why divergent QALY results can be generated using the same dataset.[21][22]
Future development[edit]
The UK Medical Research Council is exploring including other wellbeing factors (not just health) in future measures.[23]

Run A Webinar Bonus7494667
How you can Manage a Webinar Run A Webinar Bonus With virtual offices and webinars gaining ground rather rapidly in a business world enamored with the Internet along with speed, reach, and lowering costs, it is probably smart to learn how to host an excellent webinar.
To start with, you should have chosen your webinar hosting vendor carefully. They're not all alike, as well as the differences with shod and non-shod could be astounding. Among the cream of the crop are Webex and GoToWebinar, but look on them carefully. Search for the widest scope of customization and active customer care and guidance, combined with best price deal for what you will get.
In reality, attempt to get a vendor that provides you consulting services, so you gain knowledge from the start how you can host an excellent webinar. It's important should you be likely to use webinars that you just develop a track record of professionalism, reliability and creativity. Find webinar hosting vendors who have essentially the most experienced staff. Its also wise to make a market expert or even a client or a business partner to get familiar with the webinar that assist you develop it. You want the information is the the best. You can keep them simple but creative and dynamic; encourage participation from the audience. Promotions or sponsorships might help peak interest and offset costs. Use multimedia; dare to get different from the standard presentation PowerPoint. You should use PowerPoint, but use other activities, too, like little movies, flash animation, photography, and so forth.
Test the important with the software just before all webinars. That knows in case you have something that needs troubleshooting. Run A Webinar Review Timing is important using a webinar, so make use of your business sense that will help you inside the when and where. Mondays and Fridays are not good, for Mondays is the time when most businesses have their own internal meetings, and Fridays are...well, it's TGIF, you understand. You should not host a conference right on the hour, however a little past, perhaps at quarter after. Most meetings end on the hour this also gives your participants time and energy to pull out of 1 meeting and into yours. Contain the same webinar meeting or presentation at least 2 times; you will end up getting together with differing people in numerous timezones often and you also desire to make sure you make everyone feel as if these were accommodated. The best time for any webinar is late morning or early afternoon. Always avoid hosting one during lunch hour, and to consider different people's schedules you should think about this to get from 11:30AM to 1:30PM.
Before and after every non-training webinar, conduct surveys. These let you constantly help make your webinars better plus much more targeted, plus they give you more qualified leads. Provide the people what they are seeking and they'll come your way repeatedly, and give back referrals. Also, follow-up every webinar with e-mails. For no-shows, send them an e-mail saying you wish to obtain them the very next time and enable them, and everyone else, for your next webinar. RunAWebinar Review Record all of your webinars. This assures you do not forget things that were said, shown, and shared, also it allows you to return and review your performance that may help you do even better down the road, like pro footballs teams watching Sunday's game on film on Monday and Tuesday.

Thanks for helping!
The day we pulled it was the last night it was opened for the season.WE had a very good meal and wished it would have stayed open while we were there.
Party of ten, walked right up for a Thursday evening dinner and quickly seated. Food was very good, staff kept drinks full, and helpful in food description questions. Comfortable and nice view of boardwalk & ocean. Atmosphere not too loud except for the background music could've been turned down a bit (music nostalgia restaurant). Other nights, live bands.
We went here our first full day in VB mostly because my husband was wanting to try a 'crush'. So so at best but we learned what it was at least. Should have asked where the term came from but guessing that it was due to the vast amount of crushed ice in the drink. We split an appetizer as...
Nice pleasant place with a great drink specials. Dinner was well prepared and tasty. Fried seafood dinner was plenty to eat. Waitstaff was attentive
The food is really just 'blah'. Neither good nor bad. The indoor seating is uninspired probably because of the oceanfront seating which was nice only because of the ocean front. I would eat her again only in a pinch.
The lobster mac is delicious. Love the atmosphere and the music. Service was good. Not very busy on a weekday afternoon.
Although I love the music it was a little loud.
Family of 4...chicken basket, 2 burgers, kids burger, 2 coors lights (tap wasn't working) 2 wines......99.00. Everything is fried and unoriginal. Waitress didn't listen to a word we said. Take the extra 10 minutes and go to one of the better places (We went here because we were caught in a storm).
We were walking down the boardwalk and found this place, with so many options we stumbled upon this location and the food was good but the wife has a hard time with anything fried and had a hard time finding something healthy to eat with many options fried. The food was very good though, the mahi fish tacos were very...
My man and I decided to take a long walk on he boardwalk Saturday night, after 10+thousand steps (Fitbit crazy here) we decided to stop for a drink or two
I don't usually like the restaurant in the boardwalk bc are over crowded and the food is usually mediocre and over price
But this night, we decided to go to...
Really enjoyed buffet. Some of the foot was a little overcooked--- but generally really delicious. All u can eat crab legs were a favorite!

This review is from: Verbatim TUFF-'N'-TINY 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive (Black) Model 97168
Pros: Size, Price, Quality
Cons: -
Other Thoughts: I tried snapping the flashdrive as a test with my own hands with both thumbs intersecting as a bridge. It really withstood the beating. I had minimal flex and proved to handle most life scenarios if dropped and should of been damaged. I highly recommend this flash drive overall, I still use it and hasnt given me any issues.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: ADATA 16GB S102 Pro Advanced USB 3.0 Flash Drive, Speed Up to 100MB/s (AS102P-16G-RGY)
Pros: Product has a nice structure and secure cap that clicks on.
Cons: Data speeds between read/write aren't up to what most 3.0 usb's should be. As tested its about -18% less efficent but still +27% > 2.0/2.1
Other Thoughts: This flash drive is still great if you want to just load pictures on and some other bigger files as long as you have the patience. If you were looking for the true 3.0 speeds and want it faster shop else where.READ FULL REVIEW

Awesome funky beanie!
I got this hat in two colours - cream and violet (purple). Both are awesome. Cream colour - is more on the cooler side of white shade - just like it is shown on the picture. The hat is super soft, warm and cozy to wear. I would recommend it to anyone who fancies a toasty soft like a cloud hat and be on trend!

It's hard for parents to understand how a toddler can go from eating everything to barely touching their meals. It's even more difficult for them to understand why kids are so reluctant to try new foods. And without a big picture understanding of why kids eat the way they do, parents are left frustrated and are more likely to make feeding mistakes.
My whole life, I was called a picky eater, but I was always assured that I would grow out of it. My parents had both been "picky" (according to my grandparents), but like most children, they had grown out of it. As a kid, I believed that eventually, that would happen for me too. Until it just didn't.

A Conversation On Poverty, Race And Place By Steve Kraske & Brian Ellison & Coy Dugger • Dec 12, 2016 In Kansas City, there is a connection between where people live and the economic realities of their lives. Today, we air a conversation hosted by American Public Square that looks to understand how poverty, race and place interact to affect the people who live in urban neighborhoods. Kansas Man's Assault Inspires Community Improvement By Luke X. Martin • Nov 23, 2016 Luke X. Martin / KCUR 89.3 Except for the chain of events it spurred in the victim's life, the assault and robbery of Brad Grabs 14 years ago in the Northeast neighborhood of Kansas City, Kansas, would not have been particularly notable. Despite the ensuing anger and fear, Grabs says prayer and reflection on the events of that Sunday afternoon led him to believe his assaulters weren't "bad kids," he told KCUR's Brian Ellison on a recent episode of Up To Date. They were youngsters caught in a bad situation with little opportunity for positive growth. Tutoring Kids In The Urban Core, Marijuana In The Show-Me State, And Statehouse Blend Missouri By Brian Ellison & Coy Dugger • Nov 22, 2016 Luke X. Martin / KCUR 89.3 After being mugged by two teenagers, one educator sought understanding instead of revenge, and founded The Learning Club of KCK, which tutors at-risk children in the neighborhoods where they live. Then, the 2016 elections were kind to marijuana, just not in Missouri. Advocate groups NORML KC and New Approach Missouri are looking to change that. Missouri's Top Public Defender Doubles Down On Jay Nixon's Assignment By Luke X. Martin • Aug 11, 2016 MoBikeFed / Flickr - CC Any hopes Gov. Jay Nixon may have about patching things up with Missouri's top public defender will have to be put on hold for a while longer. Budget tensions came to a head last week when Michael Barrett, director of the state's public defender's office, assigned the governor to defend an assault case in Cole County, Missouri. Kansas Slides 11 Places In Health Scores For Annual KIDS COUNT Study By Steve Bell • Jun 22, 2016 KIDS COUNT/aecf.org Both Kansas and Missouri stayed in the middle tier of states in the new KIDS COUNT survey released Tuesday, but Kansas had the third-largest drop in child well-being ratings in the nation.

Missouri came up three positions on economic well-being, Kansas held steady at No. 9. Alvin Brooks Recognized For A Lifetime Of Service To Kansas City By Steve Kraske & Lisa Rodriguez • May 24, 2016 Since becoming a Kansas City, Missouri police officer in the 1950s, Alvin Brooks has spent a lifetime working to reduce crime and injustice in his city. Even as we look back at all he's already done, we ask the equal rights activist what Kansas City still needs to do. On Tuesday, Alvin Brooks was awarded at lifetime achievement award from the South Kansas City Alliance. He is also this year's recipient of the Truman Public Service Award. One In Five Kansas Children Live In 'Food Insecure' Households By Bryan Thompson • Apr 29, 2016 Feeding America A new study of food insecurity finds some familiar patterns in Kansas. But there are also a few surprises. Every year when the County Health Rankings are released, they show southeast Kansas and Wyandotte County as having persistent problems with lower average incomes and higher poverty levels. So it should come as no surprise that those same places have a high degree of food insecurity, which is defined as a lack of reliable access to adequate food. Kansas Schools, Churches Try New Ways To Deliver Summer Meals By Meg Wingerter • Apr 20, 2016 Courtesy Iola Unified School District 257 Delivering meals to low-income people is a long-standing way to improve nutrition, but a project in Iola Unified School District 257 will bring the whole diner. Kathy Koehn, nutrition and wellness coordinator at USD 257, said students taking vocational classes in the district are working to remodel an older school bus as a "traveling bistro" where children who may not have access to healthy food during the summer can get lunch. Saving Money Can Be Hard To Afford By Steve Kraske & Lisa Rodriguez • Mar 10, 2016 Buying in bulk and taking advantage of sales are great ways to save money on basic household goods, like toilet paper. But those savings are out of reach for many families who need them the most. We find out why poor people are paying more for toilet paper…and just about everything else. Guest: 'Evicted: Profit And Poverty In The American City' By Steve Kraske & Lisa Rodriguez • Mar 9, 2016 Millions of Americans are evicted every year because they can't make the rent. For poor families already struggling with finances, the repercussions of being evicted can be crushing.

One worker involved in the movement is 30-year-old Kimmy DeVries. She works for a local Head Start program, where she and other care providers follow a relatively rigorous care and education program. Schooling Superintendents By Gina Kaufmann & Matthew Long-Middleton • Feb 16, 2016 A superintendent on the other side of the state has earned the national spotlight for figuring out "how to make school work for poor kids" (as The Washington Post puts it). What's the secret, and could it translate to Kansas City? Guest: Rootless By Gina Kaufmann & Matthew Long-Middleton • Jan 28, 2016 In the Landry Park series for teen readers, local author Bethany Hagen pictures the year 2300.

New Governor's Council In Kansas To Seek Data on Recidivism, Family Structure By Andy Marso • Sep 23, 2015 Andy Marso/KHI News Kansas Gov.

At its annual Human Service Summit Tuesday, officials of United Community Services of Johnson County (UCS) said public assistance programs such as Temporary Assistance to Needy Families skew towards families with young children. Going Separate Ways By Gina Kaufmann, Matthew Long-Middleton, Eleanor Klibanoff & Sylvia Maria Gross • May 19, 2015 Eleanor Klibanoff / KCUR Listen Listening... / 50:32 After years spent battling landlords and management, residents of a Kansas City, Kansas public housing complex await promised vouchers for housing of their choice.

She looked around the classroom, and what she saw stopped her in her tracks. "He was face down in the trash can," she said. "We had peaches that day and there was a peach between every single finger. He was pulling them out of the trash can and jamming them into his pants." She says she'll never forget this 4-year-old's face when he told her, "I'm taking food home for me and my brothers." Southeast Kansas Counties Still Rank Low For Health By Jim McLean • Mar 25, 2015 www.woodsoncounty.net A cluster of counties in southeast Kansas are among the least healthy in the state, according to new rankings released Wednesday. Four of the five state's unhealthiest counties — Woodson, Cherokee, Greenwood and Labette — are in southeast Kansas. Several other counties in the region rank among the bottom 10.

Bills Would Further Restrict Kansas Welfare Eligibility By Jim McLean • Mar 5, 2015 Bills that would further tighten eligibility for public assistance programs will be among the first that Kansas lawmakers consider this week when they return to the Capitol from a short mid-session break. The bills — House Bill 2381 — and Senate Bill 256 — would write into state law several controversial administrative changes made in recent years as part of Gov. Sam Brownback's efforts to move people from welfare to work. Poverty Numbers Used By Brownback Campaign Were Inaccurate By Frank Morris • Nov 18, 2014 A couple of weeks before the election, the Kansas Department for Children and Families issued a press release that poverty in the state fell almost two and a half percent under Gov. Sam Brownback. Brownback wasted no time incorporating those figures into the narrative of his success as governor. "And just yesterday, poverty rates going down in the state of Kansas, according to the U.S. Census Bureau," said Brownback at the gubernatorial debate in Wichita. "We are moving in the right direction and getting things done." But the poverty rate information was wrong. Brownback Policies Cutting Welfare Rolls But Not Poverty Rate By Jim McLean & Dave Ranney • Nov 3, 2014 Poverty is a political issue in Kansas. Gov. Sam Brownback campaigned in 2010 on a platform that included as one of its main goals reducing childhood poverty. And since taking office, he has aggressively pursued that goal. But he's done it his way. Confronting Suburban Poverty By Steve Kraske & Beth Lipoff • Jun 11, 2014 Kevin Anderson / Wikimedia Commons When you think of poverty, you might picture homeless people in the heart of the city or lines at the City Union Mission, but the inner city isn't the only place where people have fallen on hard times. On Wedensday's Up to Date, we take a look the suburbs, a place where poverty rates have been climbing for years. We examine what steps local governments can take to help the growing number of people who live in suburban poverty and find out what has been pushing this trend. Guest: Johnson County Demonstrates Sharp Uptick In Suburban Poverty By Elle Moxley • Jun 10, 2014 Poverty in suburban Johnson County doesn't look like it does in urban Kansas City, Kan., or rural parts of the state. And that makes it harder to address a growing problem in a part of the metro seen as affluent, says County Manager Hannes Zacharias. Three Decades Of Poverty Law In Kansas City: Highlights From Julie Levin's Career By Gina Kaufmann & Matthew Long-Middleton • May 22, 2014 Courtesy of Julie Levin. Julie Levin has worked with Legal Aid of Western Missouri since 1977. In that time, she's had some monumental cases, from a suit against the Kansas City Housing Authority in 1989 that changed the face of public housing, to a case on behalf of a client who lost her job while on maternity leave. That last case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. An Interview With Author Of 'The Undeserving Poor' By Brian Ellison & Matthew Long-Middleton • Dec 11, 2013 Creativity+ Timothy K Hamilton / Flickr -- Creative Commons In 1989 Michael Katz wrote the first edition of The Undeserving Poor and changed the way we talk about and understand poverty. He directly addressed the question of who is responsible for the victims of poverty. His recently revised second edition came out last month, numerous aspects of poverty have completely changed, while others have persisted and some have even expanded over the last two decades.

Archer William is a great name. I like Archer, which is quite unique right now, paired with a solid, traditional middle. It sort of grounds it... Archer Lincoln just feels like too much. Jack is the new Brian... it is so trendy, it seems like every friend is naming their baby Jack (it was even on the short list for my nephew). Plus, Jack just feels like such a nn. I love that Archer feels like a complete name with some nns... Archie, Arch, Ari, etc.Currently exiled from the US

It may seem strange for a guy who usually writes about power pop, singer-songwriters, or soul reissues to review a CD by one of the hottest pianists in jazz today. But I do have a small collection of jazz CDs, with an emphasis on bebop quintets, vocalists singing standards, and piano trios. So while I may not be able to discuss tonal palette or harmonic invention, I know the difference between, say Bill Evans and Oscar Peterson, even if I can't always put it into words.
A few years ago a friend slipped me a copy of the Bill Charlap Trio's Somewhere: The Songs Of Leonard Bernstein and became an instant fan. Having grown up in a Broadway-loving household I was already familiar with many of the songs, and I loved what Charlap, bassist Peter Washington, and drummer Kenny Washington did with the material. His melodic instincts and tone were perfectly suited to songs like "Lonely Town," "A Quiet Girl," and "Somewhere."
May 22 saw the release of Charlap's first live album, Live At The Village Vanguard, and, like everything else I've heard him do, it is quite remarkable. Recorded in September 2003 at the venerable New York jazz club, the CD shows Charlap and his longtime sidemen, bassist Peter Washington and drummer Kenny Washington in fine form, running through nine songs with precision and beauty.
The trio's versatility is on full display here, and they tear through Rodgers and Hart's "The Lady Is A Tramp" at a breakneck pace with plenty of humor, then caress the hell out of Harold Arlen's "It's Only A Paper Moon." Arlen is represented three times on this set, and it not hard to see why. His bluesy melodies are perfect starting points for Charlap's solos, romantic and lyrical in the ballads, hard and swinging in the uptempo numbers.
Charlap famously prefers standards to more experimental fare, which makes sense given his background (his mother is veteran cabaret singer Sandy Stewart – they have recorded an album together), and six of the nine songs here should be familiar to any fan of the great songwriters of the era between World War I and World War II.
Of the other three numbers, two of them, "Rocker" and "Godchild" show his debt to the late, great baritone sax player Gerry Mulligan, who wrote the former and arranged the latter on Miles Davis' seminal 1957 album Birth Of The Cool. The other number, "All Across The City," is by guitarist Jim Hall and was originally released on Intermodulation, his 1966 duet album with another great pianist, Bill Evans.
For a musician to record a live album at the Village Vanguard, he knows he is treading on sacred ground, as many of the greatest names in jazz history, including Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, and Wynton Marsalis have recorded there. With Live At The Village Vanguard, The Bill Charlap Trio doesn't quite reach the legendary status of those great albums, but it doesn't fall far from the mark.Powered by Sidelines

Exclusive: Father of triplets killed in Qatar mall fire speaks to Arabian Business
The father of the triplets killed in the Qatar mall fire last year has pleaded for an independent and transparent enquiry into the deadly blaze.
Two-year old triplets Lillie, Jackson and Willsher Weekes were among 13 children who died in the Gympanzee daycare centre when a fire broke out in the Villaggio mall in May, killing 19 people.
Speaking from his home in New Zealand, Martin Weekes said he hoped authorities in the Gulf state would learn from the string of errors, including broken sprinklers, faulty building materials, the lack of hospital resources and an unlicensed nursery, which led to the death of his children.
"First and foremost I want to know that my children weren't killed for no reason. What I mean by this is I want to know that this is never going to happen again. I want to know that the lessons that were learned on that day – and we know that they were significant by the general statements [the Qatari authorities] have made – are not repeated," he said.
"I would rather there had been an independent public inquiry because I am not so much focused on punishing people, I just want to make sure that this never happens again," he added.
Witnesses last week finished giving evidence at a hearing into the incident and a verdict is expected to be reached in the next six to eight weeks. No defendants – including two of the nursery's owners, four Villaggio mall officials and an employee of the Ministry of Business and Trade – gave evidence.
Weekes said a government report into the incident was not submitted to the court for evidence. "In the last hearing somebody presented a report into the fire, which was paid for by the defendants," he said.
"To this date we have requested from the Qatar government and the court that we have access to the independent fire investigation into Villaggio – which they have lauded so much that they say that it is the basis for safety reforms in the country – but it has been withheld from us and has not been submitted to the court for evidence."
Investigators in June said faulty electrical wiring in a fluorescent light caused the fire and children trapped in the unlicensed nursery were not discovered until half an hour after firefighters arrived at the scene.
A report said investigators found a "lack of adherence to laws, systems, and measures by all concerned parties to different degrees. This includes adherence to design, license and safety conditions, which contributed to the Villaggio catastrophe".
Evidence heard during the trial has revealed that the Villaggio mall was built using illegal flammable materials, had faulty sprinklers and was not licensed to house a children's nursery, said Weekes.
"All we know is what has been put forward by various government departments; they knew the mall was built with illegal flammable materials and they had been fining the mall since 2007 [and] they knew that the mall's sprinklers systems didn't work," he said.
Weekes said a catalogue of errors helped contribute to the death of the triplets. "We know that it wasn't just the daycare [centre] and it wasn't just the mall – everything failed that day.
"The emergency services didn't have the appropriate equipment – our daughter was taken into an ambulance that didn't have an infant's oxygen mask for her – and the hospital literally couldn't manage with the scale of that fire and we are talking about 19 people in the middle of the week," he added.
Weekes said he hopes authorities learn from the mistakes that took place prior to and during the incident. "Despite the fact that Villaggio was shut for three months afterwards, we don't know what changes were made," he said.
"We do know from the evidence that Civil Defence put to the court that the mall was full of highly flammable paint and decorative mouldings, which you are never going to remove in three months. What has been done to mitigate that so it doesn't happen again?
"My chief concern is about transparency. This is a disaster, not just for our family, but also the country. Let's try and learn from that to make sure it doesn't happen again. Burying your head in the sand and pretending it's gone away isn't going to do that," he added.

Life Before
I haven't had a full medical checkup since I was about 12. I like the idea of them - a sort of MOT for the body - but I don't need a medical degree to know what the results would be: "In need of complete overhaul - needs new starter motor, repair poor body work and get rid of spare tyre."
I don't smoke, rarely drink and, in my lowly opinion, eat a fairly healthy and balanced diet. However, I will admit to being on the wrong side of those body-mass readings that you can get in Boots. I'm 6ft 4in and heavy enough to be in the second row of the scrum when playing rugby. But that is the problem: I don't play rugby. Or football. Or swim. In fact, the only exercise I get, other than the walk to the station and back each day, is walking up the stairs at work (when the lift isn't working) and getting up to switch the TV off at night.
Whether they are related to my lack of exercise or not, I don't know, but the ailments I have had over the past 12 months are as follows: five colds, one cricked neck, one corn, dozens of light headaches and a suspected case of food poisoning. My drill for these kinds of minor complaints is simple. Pop into a dispensary and part with about £10 in exchange for a bagful of pills, powders and potions. I suffer from that peculiarly male aversion to visiting the doctor, so it would have to be an extreme case to get me down to the surgery.
My routine after getting a cold is a good example of how I will tackle any ailment. I buy a 10-pack of Lemsip Extra Strong, a box of menthol-infused tissues, some Vicks vapour rub, a small bottle of whisky and retire to bed for a couple of days until I'm over the worst. I will drink a Lemsip about every three to four hours then make myself a hot toddy before bed (hot water, fresh lemon juice, a cinnamon stick, some cloves, honey and a capful of whisky).
I am of the view that I am going to get colds whatever I do. It is just something that happens. So, like most men, whether out of laziness or indifference to my health, I don't do enough in the way of preventive measures - ie, exercise. I read all the reports about the importance of regular exercise in combating heart disease and certain cancers, and then file it under "Mañana".
The only area of my healthcare that I think I do pay enough attention to is my teeth. I have no fillings - my dentist says this is down to fluoride in the water, my mum says it is down to my lack of a sweet tooth as a child. I visit the dental hygienist every six months for a scrape and a prod. I brush my teeth twice a day and floss a few times a week.
Still, since Esme was born, we have talked more about improving our healthcare regime by doing more exercise (Jane does, in fact, do Pilates each week) and have rather fatalistic discussions about what we would do if one of us became seriously ill. So on this occasion, we were actually looking forward to the auditor's views.
The audit
The auditors: Hannah Berry, writer and researcher at Ethical Consumer magazine. Mike Childs, campaign director of Friends of the Earth. Renee Elliot, council member of the Soil Association and founder of Planet Organic shops
"Leo, I'm horrified by what I'm seeing," says Renee Elliott after opening our medicine cabinet. She picks her way through bottles and packets of pills, shaking her head. "Paracetamol, allergy-relief pills, cough syrup . . . none of these, nor indeed many 'medicines', actually restore health," she says. "They simply relieve your symptoms. Conventional medicine does not focus on curing your illness, but on suppressing the side-effects so that you feel better - not so that you are better. Your allergy-relief pills say they relieve allergies, but they really relieve the symptoms, such as sneezing, itchy eyes and runny nose. If you have a skin irritation and put a cream on it, you are treating the symptom, not finding out what the cause is and stopping that."
Hannah Berry believes that our medicine cabinet is normal for an average UK household such as ours. "It contains a fairly typical array of off-the-shelf and over-the-counter healthcare products," she says. "Painkillers are the most plentiful - there are two brands of paracetamol, as well as Nurofen and Anadin Ultra Ibuprofen."
Mike Childs is concerned that the cabinet is "worryingly full". I point out that the bottles are a collection built up over a few years. Mike, though, is somewhat cynical about why we are so stocked up: "It could be that you have an unhealthy lifestyle and get sick a lot - or maybe you are victims of pharmaceutical advertising and have fallen for the lie that the answer to every sniffle comes in a pill or a supplement."
Mike passionately believes that we have got our priorities wrong when it comes to healthcare. "The best way to keep healthy is to take a preventive approach, avoiding exposure to environmental risks, such as polluted air, contaminated food and dodgy chemicals in the home. A healthy organic diet and lots of exercise will help as well." He says that the fact that we live in a big, dirty city doesn't help, but it is still no excuse not to be exercising regularly and eating good, healthy food. "Of course, everyone can get sick occasionally," he says, "even with a healthy lifestyle. And occasionally, medical intervention is necessary."
And do we know what the companies behind these popular brand names inside our medicine cabinet are responsible for, Hannah asks. "Wyeth, which owns Anadin, was, like Pfizer, one of the top 30 funders of Bush's Republican party," she reveals. "Animal testers Procter & Gamble and Unilever have their inevitable presence in your cabinet in the form of Lemsip, Vicks Vaporub and Vaseline."
Renee suggests we abandon our pill-popping culture and get back to what our ancestors practised: "Alternative or complementary remedies support the body with vitamins, minerals, tissue salts, herbs or whatever is needed to help the body with the healing process, whether that means increasing your intake of antioxidants or supporting your immune system."
Hannah is also full of praise for alternative therapies and medicines. With their increasing popularity, she says, it should be easy to find replacements for our medicines. "To replace Vaseline, for example, there is petroleum-free jelly available through the Natural Collection catalogue - though beeswax makes this unsuitable for hardline vegans. The catalogue also sells, for example, headlice treatment free from organophosphates.
"There are plenty of herbal remedies that can replace petrochemical-based products from global corporations. Witch hazel is a natural antiseptic native to the UK, and arnica cream is great for aches and bruises."
I tell her that I am sceptical about alternative therapies and practitioners, but she tells me to just try a few treatments before I reject them. "When it comes to alternative health systems such as reiki, flower remedies or homeopathy, it is down to the individual to see what works for them.
"Remember that on the plus side they tend to offer ways of supporting local businesses and smaller, more sustainable companies rather than the often unethical pharmaceutical industry. Many big drug firms, for example, are still refusing to give in to pressure to make HIV drugs affordable to the millions of sufferers in Africa. Do you really want to be patronising these firms?"
Life after
Telling me to exercise more is like telling a child to tidy its room - a flurry of bluster and activity followed by a declining curve of disinterest and, finally, moody resentment. My trouble is that exercising for its own sake will never work in my case - I need to enjoy it. So I need to find a sport that has a purpose, but more importantly, is something I can do. This restrictive criterion narrows things down to tennis. I enjoyed playing it at school and there are public courts in my local park, leaving me no excuse to get out of it.
It starts well. I try to play once a week, but even with tennis, a sport I love, interest starts to wane. Then something happens that puts everything into perspective. Esme is rushed into hospital after a febrile convulsion - an extremely scary seizure for a parent to witness, but one that is, as we later discover, fairly routine to treat. When my child falls ill, the fog suddenly clears: I just want her to have the best drugs available, and right now.
Worries about the drugs' origins (which pharmaceutical giant made them? Was any animal testing involved?) evaporate when the paediatrician tells us what Esme will need to get better. I admit it freely: we entrust Esme's wellbeing entirely to the hospital's staff. If one of them had come up to me and said "I should inform you that over 1,000 rats died a painful death to allow this antibiotic to be here today," I would have said, "Fine, get on with it".
However, crisis over, I do find myself a few days later reading the label on the medicine and worrying that it contained the controversial sweetener Aspartame. But I conclude that when it really matters, in a life or death situation, conventional medicine is the only way forward.
This isn't to say I have rejected alternative therapies. Admittedly, I may not have any time for crystals and homeopathy, but I do believe there must be something behind the herbal remedies that form the basis of, say, Chinese medicine and other ancient practices. Nature seems to hold the answer for so many other things, why not medicine?
As the auditors suggested, I have tried to stop relying on my usual panoply of drugs when I get a minor ailment. Out goes the Lemsip and in comes lemon, ginger and garlic. If you think you are taking something natural as a cure it is amazing how restorative this can be just in itself - placebo or not.
But not everything meets with my favour. Despite near evangelical recommendations by others, arnica and echinacea have done nothing for me. But then, I suppose, neither did many of the pill-based cold cures I have tried before.
