PROLOGUERenaissanceSymphonic Prog3.71 | 374 ratings |
From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website
Special Collaborator Prog-Folk Team |
On this album the only link to the first version of Renaissance is in the songwriters Dunford, Thatcher and McCarthy, none of whom actually make a sound. Dunford would be installed as guitarist on subsequent recordings, but here we have Rob Hendry, who does not have as much influence as his successor. John Tout and Jon Camp have both joined, Tout amply filling John Hawken's sizable shoes and Camp being a Chris Squire-influenced bass player and sometime vocalist who would subsequently impact the group's development.
The most impressive aspect of Prologue is how the band has integrated the best features of the earlier incarnation into their own nascent style. The music is far more engaging than virtually anything from Renaissance Mach 1, with plenty of confident classical flourishes and jazzy inflections on both "Prologue" and "Kiev". The fascination with the maritime begins here with "Sounds of the Sea", which thematically resembles an early "Ocean Gypsy". It is a bit too pretty and overly extended but still serves as the first showcase for Annie Haslam's plaintive style. Regarding Annie, it must be said that while her voice is not as naturally warm as that of Jane Relf, she does tug at the heart strings remarkably well for one with such superior technical prowess. For me the highlight is "Spare Some Love", which begins as a simple acoustic song before becoming quite the funky rocker in the midsection. I am very partial to the mix of Annie and the male voices in the chorus, and the sprinkling of lead guitar and punchy bass lines add to the impact. "Bound for Infinity" is a mellow one reminiscent of some of the material on Illusion, but, like "Sounds of the Sea", lacks a bit of excitement. The closer, "Rahan Khan" sounds good on paper, but is ultimately an unconvincing blend of the eastern and classical styles, with plenty of psychedelia thrown in. It is a lot more menacing than the Renaissance we knew or would come to know, but doesn't really do much with that aspect, perhaps partly due to all the wordless vocals. It was an approach they rarely took again, and for that I am grateful. An uneven album with moments of magic and grandeur, this prologue to the new Renaissance suffers from some lazy songwriting both in the lyrics and the music. They would need to overcome these flaws to rise to the next level, which they subsequently did in a big way.

Cub Scouting is for boys in the first through fifth grades, or 7 to 10 years of age. Since its beginning, the Cub Scout program has been a fun and educational experience concerned with values. Besides providing a positive place where boys can enjoy safe, wholesome activities, Cub Scouting focuses on building character, improving physical fitness, teaching practical skills, and developing a spirit of community service.

Boy Scouting is available to boys who have earned the Cub Scout Arrow of Light Award and are at least 10 years old, or have completed the fifth grade and are at least 10, or who are 11, but not yet 18 years old. The program achieves the BSA's objectives of developing character, citizenship, and personal fitness.

Varsity Scouting is an exciting program for older boys, that offers the same ideals and principles as Boy Scouting. Varsity Scouting is available to boys who are at least 14 years old, but not yet 18. Varsity Scouting offers five program fields of emphasis: advancement, high-adventure/sports, personal development, service, and special programs and events. Many community organizations use Varsity Scouting as part of their youth program, including the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, United Methodist Church, Roman Catholic Church, Baptist Church, and Lutheran Church.
Varsity Coach
Venturing is a youth development program of the Boy Scouts of America for young men and women who are 13 and have completed the eighth grade, or age 14 through 20 years of age. Venturing's purpose is to provide positive experiences to help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults. Venturing is based on a unique and dynamic relationship between youth, adult leaders, and organizations in their communities. Local community organizations establish a Venturing crew by matching their people and program resources to the interests of young people in the community. The result is a program of exciting and meaningful activities that helps youth pursue their special interests, grow, develop leadership skills, and become good citizens. Venturing crews can specialize in a variety of avocation or hobby interests.
Commissioners are district and council volunteers who help units succeed. They are available to coach and consult with parents and leaders of Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout troops and Venturing crews and ships. Please feel free to contact your commissioner anytime with questions. Commissioners help maintain the standards of the Boy Scouts of America. They also oversee the unit recharter plan, so that each unit re-registers on time with an optimal number of youth and adult members. A commissioner plays several roles, including friend, representative, unit "doctor," teacher, and counselor. Of all their roles, friend is the most important. It springs from the attitude, "I care; I am here to help, what can I do for you?" Caring is the ingredient that makes commissioner service successful. He or she is an advocate of unit needs. A commissioner who makes himself known and accepted now will be called on in future times of trouble.

Stars are cosmic engines that produce heat, light and various forms of radiation, such as ultraviolet rays and X-rays, as explained by National Geographic. Stars are produced in stellar nurseries, which are vast clouds of dust and gas, up to 100,000 times the size of our own solar system, according to the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory at California Institute of Technology (CIT). Once a star is born, it will have a life cycle characterised by five stages.
Other People Are Reading
Nebula and the Protostar
The clouds of hydrogen gas and dust comprising a stellar nursery are called a nebula. It is in the nebula that a star is born. Over time, the hydrogen gas in the nebula is pulled together by gravity and it begins to spin. As the gas spins faster, it heats up and becomes a protostar, as explained on NASA's "Imagine the Universe" website. A star's mass is determined by the amount of matter available within the nebula.
Eventually the protostar will reach a temperature of around 15 million degrees and nuclear fission will take place within its core. As this takes place the cloud begins to glow brightly, contracts, and becomes stable. This represents the main sequence star, as explained on NASA's "Imagine the Universe" website. This is the stage that our sun is currently at, and will remain for billions of years.
Red Giant
A star will shine constantly until all the hydrogen in its core is converted into helium by nuclear fission. This will take billions of years in a small star, but in a large star it takes only millions of years. According to NASA's "Imagine the Universe" website, when all the hydrogen runs out, the star stops generating heat by nuclear fission, becoming unstable and subsequently it contracts. Following this, the star's outer shell, composed of cooling gas, begins to expand and forms a red giant.
Following the red giant phase, a massive star will undergo a supernova explosion. This occurs when energy is no longer radiated from the core, which is composed of very stable iron. As no energy is being emitted, gravitational collapse occurs, with the core temperature rising to over 100 billion degrees as the iron atoms are crushed together, as explained on NASA's "Imagine the Universe" website. The supernova explosion takes place when the core collapses in a shock wave, as the repulsive force between the nuclei overcomes the force of gravity.
Neutron Stars and Black Holes
According to NASA's "Imagine the Universe" website, the mass of the star following the supernova explosion determines what will happen next. If the remnant of the explosion is 1.4 to about 3 times as massive as our Sun, it will form a neutron star. Neutron stars are composed of mainly neutrons but are formed when the exploding supernova forces protons and electrons to combine, as explained by University of Bradford Robotic Telescope website. Alternatively, if the remnant from the supernova explosion is more than three times the mass of our sun, the force of gravity will overcome the nuclear forces that prevent neutrons and protons combining. Consequently, the core is swallowed by its own gravity, forming a black hole.

Metro has provided a screen grab of the original post in this article:
PREVIOUSLY: Naomi Campbell, the supermodel who has never been one to shy away from controversey post a topless picture of herself on instagram early Tuesday evening.
The post has garnered around 60,500 likes in the 14 hours it has been on line and has yet to be taken down by the social media compnay.
RELATED: NSFW: Topless Cara Delevingne advocates for 'Free the Nipple' campaign
Instagram has a notorious history of taking down pictures of topless women who aren't breastfeeding and many celebrities have protested this by sharing topless and nearly topess pictures of themselves.
The only question remaining is, will Instagram dare take down a picture of Naomi Campbell? They better hope she doesnt have her phone in her hands if and when they do.

Discuss neural mechanisms involved in the control of eating behaviour. (8 marks + 16 marks)
- Created by: Marco

First 593 words of the document:
Discuss neural mechanisms involved in the control of eating behaviour.0
(8 marks + 16 marks)
Homeostasis is the biological process involving neural mechanisms that detect the state of the
environment inside the body and also correct it to restore that environment to its optimal state.
The body has evolved two homeostatic mechanisms to regulate food intake which are both
dependent on glucose levels.
Hunger increases as glucose levels decrease. This decline activates the lateral hypothalamus resulting
in feelings of hunger. This causes the individual to search for and consume food, causing glucose
levels to rise again. This then activates the ventromedial hypothalamus leading to feelings of
satiation and a cessation of feeding.
There are however limitations to a homeostatic explanation because for a homeostatic hunger
mechanism to be truly adaptive, it must anticipate and prevent energy deficits, rather than just react
to them- because our ancestors in the wild would never know when their next meal would come so
should be constantly on the lookout.
The claim that feelings of hunger and eating behaviour are only triggered when energy levels fall
below their optimal level is inconsistent with the harsh environment in which this mechanism would
have developed. A buffer against a lack of future food availability would have been necessary in such
circumstances, therefore the homeostatic theory is an incomplete explanation on its own.
Evolutionary theorists offer an alternative explanation. They propose that the primary influence for
hunger and eating is not homeostasis, but food's positive-incentive value, i.e. people eat because
they develop a taste for foods that promote their survival, such as a preference for meat high in
nutrients as opposed to low-nutrient foods such as grass.
However, this explanation doesn't necessarily apply to modern-day humans because humans would
otherwise choose to eat much healthily than they do (e.g. fruit and vegetables instead of fatty food),
therefore the evolutionary explanation is low in mundane realism because it doesn't apply to modern
Instead, the role of the hypothalamus is involved in the control of eating behaviour.
Research into the lateral hypothalamus (LH) found that damage to the LH in rats causes aphasia
(absence of eating), whilst stimulation of the LH elicits feeding behaviour. The opposing
consequences of the LH led researchers to conclude that they had discovered the `on' switch for
eating behaviour.
Stanley et al found a neurotransmitter in the LH called neuropeptide Y which is important in turning on
eating behaviour. When injected into the LH of rats it causes them to immediately start feeding, even
when satiated, and repeated injections of the neural mechanism caused obesity in rats in a few days.
However, refuting evidence comes from Marie et al who genetically manipulated mice so that they
did not produce the neurotransmitter, yet there was no subsequent decrease in their feeding
behaviour to suggest the neuropeptide Y is not linked to eating.
Though, Marie's research was on genetically manipulated mice that may not perform in the same way
once their biology has been modified, thus making her study low in internal validity which doesn't
support her research as refuting evidence. In addition, a mouse's anatomy is completely different to
the physiology of a human, therefore the conclusions drawn can't be generalised across species
making them low in external validity.

Watford head coach Quique Sanchez Flores believes Tottenham have "everything to be champions" after seeing his side fall to a 1-0 defeat at White Hart Lane.
Kieran Trippier's goal midway through the second half meant Watford suffered a defeat that saw them slip to 10th in the table, extending a poor recent run to just one win in their last eight Premier League games.
Watford have failed to score in four of their last five league contests and Flores conceded he felt powerless at times against a Spurs side who dominated more than the scoreline suggests, with the visitors failing to register a shot on target.
Flores cannot see any reason why Tottenham will not compete for the title, with Saturday's victory moving them up to second ahead of a crunch clash with third-placed Manchester City next Sunday.
Asked if Spurs can win the league, Flores told Sky Sports: "Why not? They are a good team, with good players.
"They have a good team and good power. They have everything to be champions. They always put in a good performance at a high level, they have a clear plan and they repeat it very well.
"For me they are one of the candidates for the title. Tottenham have improved a lot since the last time we played. Unlike then [a 2-1 win for Spurs at Vicarage Road in December] this match this felt impossible and we had few chances to get some points.
"But this is normal – they are Tottenham, their target is to be at the top and ours is to survive. They have more confidence and are one of the best teams. They have the chance to win the league."
Goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes was one of the key reasons Spurs' tally remained at one as he made key saves in both halves against his former club, with Flores praising the Brazilian's contribution.
"We feel safe with Heurelho," said the former Atletico Madrid boss. "He really is doing an amazing season.
"We are really happy with him and he is one of the reasons we are at a balance with the number of goals we score and concede with zero [goal difference] after 25 matches. We are defending well like a pack, but we have a very good goalkeeper.
"It was difficult. We expected a tough match. From the beginning they pressed a lot in our part of the pitch and we had to defend deep. We couldn't regain the ball.
"Playing against Chelsea and Tottenham in four days is too much. We did all the best we could but it was not enough."

To make it as a filling for Key Lime Cake, I substituted 1.5 Tbsp of lime juice for lemon juice and to make sure it would hold up as a thick filling, I sprinkled in one tsp. of flour while heating. Wonderful Recipe! - 19 May 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Very very good! I've been looking for a lime curd recipe and this one is definitely it! I love that it is so simple and made with things I already have at home. Highly recommended! - 05 Mar 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Really good! I used it as a topping for some mini-cheesecakes but I think I might make an entire pie out of it! - 10 Jan 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

If you've been thinking about filing bankruptcy, you have probably wondered what your life will be like afterwards. Many consumers assume that, since your credit report will list a bankruptcy for ten years, they'll be unable to obtain any kind of credit at all.
It is true that you'll deal with the effects of bankruptcy for as long as it stays on your record… but it won't be as bad as you think. The older the bankruptcy becomes, the less important it will be to potential lenders… as long as you rebuild your credit and handle your finances responsibly.
The first year after bankruptcy will be the hardest. Lenders will see that you have had recent financial troubles, and will often be hesitant to issue a credit card or lend you money. Getting an unsecured credit card could prove quite difficult, although there are a few lenders that may be willing to give you a low limit card (usually $200 to $500).

The St Boniface Church and Cemetery is located in Scipio, KS, a modest hamlet in between the cities of Richmond and Garnett, and two-miles east of Freeway-fifty nine. This Catholic church with its 160′ copper steeple and its stained-glass home windows is uniquely significant for a country church, also acquiring an equal-in-size rear 'L' wing that is now a rectory and retreat mixed. At 1 time this two-story limestone wing was a monastery for twenty five Carmelite friars, who crafted the present limestone church, and who subsistence farmed/gardened up to 600-acres all over it.
Primary Church
In the mid 1850's, a handful of Jesuit missionaries served the Native Americans in jap Kansas. And then, against these missionaries wishes, these natives had been moved further south. At about the identical time, many immigrants had been having up farm land in the Scipio location, most of them German Catholics.
Due to the fact the Scipio group preferred its very own church negative, two outstanding users of this neighborhood prevailed on the bishop in Leavenworth for their very own priest. They acquired a after-a-month viewing missionary as an alternative. Nonetheless, simply because his unannounced visits failed to do the job well, they prevailed on the bishop again, who compensated them a visit. Just after seeing the nearly 40 devoted families of religion and usually means residing there, he assigned them a lasting priest.
The neighborhood then crafted their new resident priest a modest home and log-church on twenty-acres of donated land. It was devoted in the spring of 1859. St Boniface would be the only Catholic church in Anderson county for twenty five years. Nonetheless, this problem would adjust in time as its surrounding massive picture produced.
Outgrowing It
In 1865, St Boniface was turned above to the Carmelite Get, a significant get of friars with German roots. This Get gave the parish a massive enhance in membership. In 1869, the railroad came nearby. By the 1870's, the parish had outgrown its log church, which was also harmed by a prairie fire. With much more families in the parish now, designs had been commenced for a new church on top of the hill, west of the log 1.
In 1873, their head friar requested the design of a log body Carmelite monastery which would also provide as Mt Carmel College parallel to what would later grow to be the present church. For a while, the church products and services would be held in this body monastery, while the new church was staying crafted.
Sooner or later, this potential developing arrangement would give the entire facility a significant 'U' condition facing west when finished. The design continued with a 1-space parochial faculty, a neighborhood corridor, and a Ursuline Sisters home north of the proposed church. In the meantime, the friars and lay-individuals acquiring stonemason capabilities hewed and stockpiled their very own limestone blocks for the prepared 1881-crafted church. Its cornerstone was laid in 1882.
By this time, the Carmelites had enhanced their land holdings to 600 acres. The brothers farmed/gardened it, which bundled a 10-acre winery and winery. They also crafted a massive rectangular red barn and sheds for dairy cows, livestock, hay, grain storage, and tools. No doubt, they had a smoke residence and areas for butchering, canning, and undertaking laundry.
Times Transformed
Due to the fact the township surrounding Scipio is on a country street in between Highways fifty nine & 169, it hardly ever incorporated. Only a number of residences continue to be there these days. Other Catholic churches sprang up in the nearby cities of Richmond, Garnett, and Greeley, all 3 of them on active highways that came into staying in time.
The body higher education shut, and was at some point torn down. The parochial faculty also shut. So did the nearby railroad, which later became a 51-mile rail-path. Many friars and Ursuline sisters/teachers left for other areas. The farming stopped. The land was rented out for a while, but was at some point bought. A storm ruined the massive Carmelite barn, and the population in the nearby cities enhanced.
St Boniface even now has about 60 energetic families in its parish these days. Its Easter and Christmas products and services have standing-space-only attendance. Its higher education-developing space is turned into a meditation back garden with a fountain. Its limestone monastery has been retrofitted into a rectory and modern-day 3-unit retreat for clergymen and many others needing peaceful therapeutic. It truly is known as Elijah's Rest.
Two friars reside in the rectory, exactly where they provide the church. The historic cemetery is even now applied, and sits exactly where the first log-church stood. Tourists visit this church and its well-retained cemetery. Its doors are often open. For in-depth data on this church, see the booklet underneath.

Cambodian witness: an autobiography of Someth MayThe Khmer Rouge, who took over Cambodia in 1975, killed off all educated people, establishing a system in which city life was abandoned, money abolished, and death a daily event. This book is an eye-witness account of one family's experience in that process. It begins with Someth May's childhood in the comparatively peaceful Sihanouk era--a world of Buddhist monks, magicians and corrupt politicians. Someth May's family numbered fourteen when it left the fallen city of Phnom Penh. Only four of those survived the rule of the Khmer Rouge. |

Hi, I'm Antano. I am the person Top Achievers come to for
Accelerating their Success.
Have you ever had a situation where your Car wouldn't start and you keep turning the ignition until you give up and recognize it is time to take your car to someone who knows the car better? And the mechanic simply spends five minutes and precisely tells you what to change!
What Alex needs to grow fast enough in his life is so different from what keeps needs to grow fast in his life. The real problem is most times, neither does Alex nor George know what they really need to go to the next level. Sometimes, the solution could be as simple as making a tiny shift but how can you know the solution unless you know the problem?
Did You Know?
This is why self-help book and motivation seminars don't work for most people! Imagine an archer who has his eyes closed led into a forest and asked to shoot. He shoots randomly and the chances of even a single arrow hitting the target is almost zero. No, matter how skilled he is, how well designed his bow and arrow tools are, if he is shooting blind-folded, he is likely to waste his time and resources.
By the way: If you have been trying overcome the obstacles in your life and have been succeeding not fast enough, chances are you are "shooting in the dark", as well.
A ship that was once about to sail had trouble with its engine. So, the captain called for an engineer. The engineer walked around, touched a few valves, heard the hissing sounds and after careful inspection, tapped on one nut and everything started functioning and the ship was ready to sail. Accelerated success in your life as well can just be that one tap away!
Keep in mind: Real change in your Life begins with Real changes in you.
You need more than 'Positive Thinking' and 'Inspiration' to improve the quality of your life. Positive thinking, inspiration and motivation are natural outcomes of living a healthy, balanced and fulfilling life. And to achieve that, you need to make systematic and targeted changes within you.
The most successful people realize this ONE golden rule, that if what you are doing doesn't work, do anything else. And if whatever you are doing works, do more of it. What stops most people from overcoming their blocks to accelerated success is that they keep trying the same methods that didn't work, over and over again.
Everyone has their own strengths and along with it their individual limitations. Fixing these limitations is the surest path to accelerated success.
Most people have more time than they think they do. They waste it thinking and fretting over unuseful things. Or sometimes by making wrong decisions, people waste years of their life and complain that they don't have time. Sometimes, its a lack of confidence or a lack of clarity. Sometimes, the limitations comes in the form of how a person handles relationships. To truly, accelerate your success you have to evolve your personal excellence.
Did You Know?
Focussing on motivation before fixing personal limitations is the most commonly made mistake - not only for accelerated success but even for day to day achievements. Even if your goals look easy and within reach, without personal excellence, you can't change your life.
Also remember there is always a better you than the current you. And that is what it really means to be human, to continuously evolve, to continuously progress. This is what gives people true happiness. And this is what leads to unlimited success. No matter where you are, what you do, there is a trait of personal excellence that you can evolve that will give you immensely more happiness.
Top achievers are not just a bunch of people who are highly motivated and have self-discipline who are lucky with a set of good connections. Top Achievers think and function differently. They focus on their inner game. This is what makes them good at whatever they do, wherever they go. And they are always thirsty for more personal excellence.
They Focus on the direction in which they want to evolve as a person
They have Clarity on the personal limitations they need to overcome to succeed fast
They are consistently in High Performance Mode and they have experts to help them
By now, it is obvious the key to everything we have been discussing is making some real changes. But, is change possible? For centuries, we have been lead to believe that change is difficult. And the nature of people cannot change. Whatever your limitations are you have to learn to deal with it. But the truth is, people change all the time in unexpected circumstances. A near death experience or a natural calamity or radical shift of relationships in a persons life are examples of how people have overnight changed who they are. These are examples of extreme situations in which a change happened in a moment.
We don't have to wait for such moments to get enlightened. The fortunate news is that, today, there are sufficiently advanced scientific methods that makes changes available on demand, The truth is change is easy, change is possible and change can be fast with unconscious patterning. I moved from programming machines to designing people's life when I helped a young man who was paralyzed to get back moments. This is when I fully came to terms with the heritage we have as humans and the extra ordinary capabilities that are available within our reach.
People take so many resolutions that they never end up keeping. Have you ever wondered what is the science behind making changes 'stick'? Is it possible that the part of our brain that controls our involuntary functions can be the secret behind making real changes that sustain?
About 40 years ago, two genius Dr. John Grinder and Dr. Richard Bandler discovered that you don't need trance or hypnosis to produce changes with the unconscious mind. And they introduced to the world a set of patterning called Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) that allows any person to take full advantage of their capabilties.
And in the last 4 years, I have helped over 3000 individuals who have approached me to make real changes in their life using the full potential of unconscious patterning. These individuals have come from over 10 countries from various walks of life. Some of them are Directors of Billion Dollar organizations, some are entrepreneurs, some are working professions. My speciality has been to solve challenges, in peoples life, even when everything else has failed for them. Sometimes, this just means accelerating results for some individuals and for others, it means the difference between life and death. And I can offer you my expertise to help you accelerate your success
You need an expert to help you identify and make the changes in your life that will accelerate everything for you. In the uP! program, my partner Harini (Singer Megha) and I are that expert. We help you experience real change. We ensure you develop a set of new capabilities that will open up worlds of possibilities in your life.

Often, I meet people who tell me, I wish I had met you a few years ago. And it turns out that for some those few years costed them a few crores, for some the price of those unfruitful years came with agony and pain and for some it costed them dear relationships. And for some people they just missed all the fun, happiness and the good things that life has to offer. There is something about mortality that the lost years never come back.
What if you make that break-thru, a fast career growth or a profitable business or a famous Author or just a happy family, what will you do with all that success? Are you ready to handle such a positive shift in your life style?

My methods are so novel that there used to be a time, when people came to me as the last resort and I helped them. But now, there is no need to wait, there is enough proof out there of my work and the results it can produce for you in black and white.
The work I do produces such unbelievable results so fast that it appears like Magic, but in reality, it is just advancement of the science of Human Excellence. I specialize in a Niche of Neuro Linguistic Programming called 'Installations' or technically known as 'Process Impositions'. My organization has been doing research on this for many years. What we do and offer is based on our actual field experience of working with all ranges of challenges and types of people. This is what the founder of Neuro Linguistic Programming, Dr. John Grinder has to say about us:
"These two are distinct in many ways – they are unabashed to demonstrate their passion for excellence – fortunately, this passion is founded on extensive field experience and a wide range of applications. They offer a special configuration as they work as a team with elegance and effectiveness – all this based on their personal mastery of the patterning"
There are times in our Life, when that ONE deal or that one closure will make all the difference financially, professionally and personally. Just imagine for a moment, whatever you are working towards, how much would you SAVE if you achieve more of that faster? This could be that dream job or that particular sale or that significant break-thru. We are the people who make break-thru's a way of life for people like you.

This is Buck's standard blade material because it approaches the wear resistance of high carbon alloys while delivering the corrosion resistance of chromium stainless steels. Add our exclusive heat-treat process and you have a very user-friendly combination of superior corrosion resistance with excellent strength for wear resistance and durability. You also have a blade that is easy to resharpen. For best performance we harden to a Rockwell hardness of Rc 58.
Serial number of my Frontiersman is 124 I like it, it is beautiful to look and it is good to use.
I have owned two 124's. My first I gave away as a gift to a hunting guide in Idaho in 1982. I bought another 124 in 1985 and I have carried it ever since on deer and elk hunts. I love the balance, the edge it holds, and the general utility it provides me as a hunter. Whenever someone sees this knife they want to hold it and admire it. I think this knife is one of Buck's finest products and I carry it with pride.
I have owned, used and loved Buck knives for a number of years and this has surpassed them all to become my favorite Buck! This 2015 dated knife is build like a tank. Full exposed tang with pinned micarta handle scales. The aluminum pommel and hand guard are well polished to mate up with the micarta scales perfectly. The edge is incredibly sharp. The grind is nice and even. The handle is a bit square for my taste, but has not been uncomfortable while cutting. The entire knife is just a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. The leather sheath is very nice but slightly thicker leather should be used on the belt loop. This knife is almost to handsome to use out doors....almost. I wish this knife would go into regular production. I definitely need another. Just an all around amazing knife. Thank you, Buck, for producing such an incredible outdoor knife!
I received my Buck Frontiersman knife about 2 weeks ago from my brother from another mother. I used it to split wood and to simply baton small branches off. I love it. Durable and sharp. I wanted it as soon as I laid my eyes upon it. I will pass it down to one of my boys.
This one heck of a knife. I've seen many buck knives but not one this good. Overall its the most handy knife I've ever owned
I bought mine in Norfolk, Va. when I was stationed on the U.S.S. Independence in 1967 before heading out to the Mediterranean Sea. I worked on the flightdeck in V-1 division and carried it with me everywhere. When we got back I was transferred to Mayport, Florida and had to spend a few days in the base hospital due to an infection I'd gotten in a cut on my hand during a pilot rescue previous to my transfer. I came close to losing part of my hand but it turned out OK. After release from the base hospital I was in a barracks while waiting for the U.S.S. Shangri-La to pull in to pick a few of us up before setting out for Viet Nam. To make this already long story short, some scumbag stole it out of my locker while I was on liberty. I was way beyond pissed !
I bought my 124 Frontiersman's when I was 13 years old in L.A. California. I bought it with money I earned cutting lawns. I paid $39.95 for it at a local sportsman shop. I have carried it on every trip into the woods and it has never failed to be up for any task I have put it to. I have always respected it as a tool and never abused it. It will be given to my step son when I am no longer able to go out and use it. Thank you Mr. Buck for being part of my youth and adulthood.
Please use a different Company to make the Buck 124 sheath I like the old style and also Just like the Buck 120 sheath. It is not made as well as the older 124 sheaths and like the 120 sheaths as well. It has a hard plastic insert and is more pointed at the end. Love the knife but the sheath is not so loved. Thanks you.
I have owned three 110 and a Path finder. I destroyed the blade on the first two 110's doing roadside repairs to my car so I did not feel right sending them in to take advantage of the best warranty in the business. Were else would I go looking for a straight blade? My Frontiersman is on the way.
thats all i have to say.
I just bought my 124 and I have to say this is the nicest looking knife I have ever bought from Buck. And that says a lot because I have an incredible 112 from the 70s that is nice but this one is the best. Nice work Buck.
Sorry for my poor English. Got mine 124 in mid 80'. It was used. At that time the new one had the wood and rounded handle, but was too expensive for an high school student. Mine was an older model, bigger black phenolic squared handle, with a thong hole in the pommel. Used for years heavy chores in winter mountain trips. Performed very well and was always been easy to sharpen. Now it is a collection piece, for me, but I am planning to get another one. Size, weight, cutting power perfect for me. I am happy for the reintroduction of this iconic model.
Bought this knife in 1976 ! All I can say is buy this knife after all these. Years it looks and works just like when I purchased it. It was on a whim that I did so but I do not regret one bit ! It was 100.00 back then but who would of thought that after all these years the knife is still perfect!!! Message to anyone that is thinking of buying a knife as far as I am concerned for function use and plain old American knifes there's only one name BUCK many thanks to the Buck family for producing a simple quality time tested piece of Americana the only problem with this knife is who am I going to leave it to when I pass away as it will with basic proper care last forever Thank again for producing such quality knifes
If "Chuck Buck" would like to out do himself, just offer the Frontiersman, as a Custom Knife.
My dear wife bought me a Frontiersman sometime in the 1970's and I have loved the knife ever since. Mine has the Rosewood (?) handles and is the best knife of its size I have ever owned and I've owned many others. Perhaps the best feature is the beautiful, sturdy leather sheath. I can't stand the plastic sheaths everyone else is using. Please keep it available, it is time to own another one.
I bought the Frontiersman in Germany just before I went to Vietnam. And it performed very well in the jungle and out of it. Bought another one so I could keep the "old" one "safe" and prevent others from using it. It is a very strong knife; keeps sharp for a long time and has never given me any problems. It is an excellent blade.
I bought my #124 as a substitute for the kbar. At the time I purchased this knife, I was deploying to Operation Desert Shied/Storm with the Marine Corps. This knife was used for several purposes: chopping tool, hammer and general cutting but it's primary use was as a defensive weapon in close quarter combat. Fortunately, I never had to use it for anything other than the strongest cutting tool I have ever used. (It almost replaces a small hatchet.) I had to drill a hole in the bottom of the sheath to attach it to my H harness. I still have the knife and it is now a part of my bug-out bag. My only suggestion would be to make and sell a hard sheath. Using the leather sheath can allow the blade to penetrate the sheath if enough force is applied to the point of the blade. An example would be when having to fall to the ground to avoid incoming rounds. Keep up the good work and don't lower the quality of your knives. They aren't toys but are being used for survival. I'm planning to purchase a shorter blade to wear on a gun belt when not wearing a pack. I also have a #110 that is at least 30 years old. I guess your marketing dept won't like the fact that your knives last a lifetime. In today's marketplace, quality has been replaced with built-in replacement life. Oh, I would like to see you market a good machette for cutting down small brush/vines. Semper Fi.
I got mine in early 80's and loved it ever since. Was lost in a B&E in '08 and I cried (really). Found it was out of production and cried some more. I looked everywhere and found a used one on E-Bay. It was beat up but Buck took it in and the knife looks like new. I am so proud of that knife and the quality work Buck did in restoring an abused beauty. It is a one of a kind and should stay in production for the generations to come.
I won my Frontiersman in 1982 my first year in the army. I carried it as part of my field gear my entire career including Desert Storm. I still carry this knife today and when I pass on I'll carry it and my Fav 1911 Gold Cup to my grave.
excellent couteau qui sert à tout je le posséde depuis 1977 j' aime la marque buck
I bought my 124 Frontier at a yard sale in Alaska for $20.00. It had been sharpened only once. I couldn't believe my good fortune. That was back in the early 80's. I have used it on moose, elk, deer and bear. It has caught the eye of my Father, Brother and Sons. Now all of us have one in our collection, and we use it every year. This was the first Buck knife I owned and I will never part with it. As Crocodile Dundee said, "Nah, this is a knife!"
I bought my Frontiersman in Alexandria (VA) in July 1979, while visiting the States. It was a faithful companion throughout my entire military career and it travelled the world with me. It is now, still in mint condition, back to its original hunting purpose.
I bought this knife in 1997 when I was in San Diego when I was in the U.S. Navy. This knife has preform very well in the tasks I've thrown at it. I've recently given it to my son who has admired this knife for a very long time. He has always cleaned and sharpened it for me. The knife has a really good edge and always will.
I have a Frontiersman #124 that I bought over 25 years ago. I reason I am submitting this review is that my knife has a highly polished wooden grip and a brown scabbard. Wonderful knife that I have kept in the box. To pretty to use.

Celebrate Mississippi's bicentennial on the banks of art history.2>
The centerpiece of the Museum's bicentennial initiatives, Picturing Mississippi commemorates and celebrates the 200th anniversary of statehood for Mississippi, admitted to the Union on December 10, 1817, as the 20th state. Its aesthetic goal is to assemble original artworks in various media of the highest quality to illuminate the perception and depiction of Mississippi over more than two centuries. With at least 135 works by more than 100 different artists, the exhibition is unprecedented in the history of Mississippi. A great many of these works will be lent by prestigious national institutions such as the Harvard University Art Museums; the National Gallery of Art and the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.; and the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Featured will be individual masterpieces by artists seldom exhibited in the state, including George Caleb Bingham, Robert Indiana, James Audubon, Louis Bahin, Thomas Hart Benton, John Steuart Curry, and Jean-Michel Basquiat – as well as a plethora of works by native Mississippians such as James Tooley, Jr., Eudora Welty, William Dunlap, and Randy Hayes.
The exhibition will proceed chronologically and thematically, giving visitors the opportunity to perceive the evolving depiction of Mississippi – first by foreign-born artists as a place of immense beauty and prosperity, and later as a land laid waste by civil war, farmed by sharecroppers, held in check by segregation, and changed forever by the struggle for civil rights. Eventually, new voices rose to express the extraordinary artistic creativity of Mississippians of all races.
Art made about Mississippi's people, places, and events offers a powerful lens through which to understand the state's history; this visual narrative complements the artifacts and stories in the new Museum of Mississippi History. A significant component of the bicentennial exhibition will also feature art made in response to the events, victims, and heroes of the civil rights movement in the South, dovetailing with exhibitions on display at the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum. The opening of Picturing Mississippi coincides with the opening of the 2 Mississippi Museums as the result of a partnership with the Mississippi Department of Archives and History.

As an indication of the state of the National Health Service, the sign at the entrance to Bedford Hospital yesterday was perhaps as good as any, "Total beds available – Minus 6."
That might seem shocking for a busy hospital with a budget of £70m, but for the staff, struggling to cope with chronic underfunding, it represented progress; within the past two weeks it has read, "Minus 21".
This is the hospital that caused outrage last year when pictures appeared in newspapers of bodies being stored side by side on the floor of a chapel of rest because Dickensian mortuary facilities were full. With the British unfamiliarity with close-quarter death, the sight of somebody's loved ones being handled with such irreverence caused a national scandal. Worse still, the shroud on one of the bodies had apparently been tampered with to reveal the face of a man who had died the week before.
A year on, several NHS scandals later, and the situation at Bedford Hospital has improved little. Bodies are no longer stored in the chapel but neither are they in a much-needed and long-overdue new mortuary. Instead, those the old mortuary cannot accommodate are put in a temporary refrigerated unit described by management as "suitable" but likened by one senior consultant to a cattle truck.
The absence of significant progress, a year after being thrust into national attention, shows that publicising a hospital's deficiencies is no guarantee of solving them. This will come as a warning to the Whittington Hospital in north London, which dominated the headlines last week after a 94-year-old woman was left unwashed for three days.
Bedford Hospital Health Trust's chief executive, Andrew Reed, admitted this week that the "bed state" sign at his site had been at minus 12 and minus 15 several times recently, and patients awaiting treatment had been left on trolleys for more than 12 hours. To compound the feeling of a hospital under siege, it is also facing a bill of £1.4m for a fire alarm system, and a secret structural engineers' report is understood to show that £26m has to be spent to preserve the fabric of the buildings.
After last year's scandal, The Independent discovered internal documents at the hospital demonstrating that pathology staff had been warning of a mortuary crisis for more than quarter of a century. One of the pathology department's "temporary" buildings, housing biochemistry facilities, dates from the 1970s, which has caused two out of four of its disciplines, cellular pathology and haematology, having their accreditation status withdrawn.
Accreditation is not mandatory, but it is an indication of the decay found by independent inspectors from Clinical Pathology Accreditation (UK) who had praised the staff and condemned the conditions in which they had to work. "I feel very sorry for my colleagues in pathology," said Michael Frampton, chairman of the hospital's medical staff committee. "Last year, after the chapel of rest pictures appeared, our acting chief executive, Paul Bowers, said every cloud had a silver lining and this silver lining was that we would get a new pathology department. But so far, there has just been dragging of feet.
"Instead, there is another temporary building. Because the British are unaccustomed to seeing dead bodies, the public was outraged by what happened last year. A lot of it was about preserving the dignity of the dead, but I don't think the temporary mortuary does much to preserve that. Frankly, it looks a bit like a cattle truck. It looks like something that came off the back of a lorry, which is what it is, actually."
Mr Frampton, an ear, nose and throat specialist, and the rest of the hospital's clinicians blame the underfunding of the Bedford area which has gone on for decades. Capitation rates that show where funds should be allocated per head of the population, reveal that the area was underfunded by 3.61 per cent in 1998-99, a position that has deteriorated to 4.4 per cent this year. In all of England and Wales, only one health authority suffers worse underfunding, Kensington, Chelsea and Westminster. In a debate on health services in Bedfordshire in December – there have been four in recent months – the local Labour MP, Patrick Hall, said the hospital was heading for a £3m deficit. In 1997, under Labour, 70 beds were scrapped. They were mainly for the elderly who now occupy beds that would otherwise have been used for patients recovering from illness or surgery.
Mr Hall said: "The problem is lack of resources throughout the health economy, not just with regard to hospitals, which is what the media tend to concentrate on. The rest of the NHS matters very much. I am convinced that if a modernised NHS is to be achieved, which all of us want, it will need to include ... a strengthening of the acute sector [at local hospitals] and the creation of decent community services so a comprehensive and balanced service that puts the needs of patients first is created."
Tomorrow, the first step will be taken in attempts to build new pathology facilities, including a mortuary, when plans drawn up by Dr Lorraine Fitch, clinical director of pathology, and the chief executive, Mr Reed, are put before the Eastern Regional Health Authority. If the £7m plans are approved, the buildings could be in place by mid-2004. If they are not, morale, severely dented last year, is likely to slump again.
"I don't know what a rejection would mean," Dr Fitch said. "Pathology services are vital to a hospital and we need a proper accredited environment in which to work. I simply can't imagine that Region will say no." Mr Reed said he was "quietly confident".
If the pathology construction gets the go-ahead, decades after the need for it was first identified, it might help to erase the terrible pictures of those bodies in the chapel of rest. In the longer term, particularly in the wake of lessons learnt from the Rose Addis scandal in London last week, more money must be spent to raise Bedford from the bottom of the healthcare league..
"We have excellent clinicians and staff to support them," Helen Nellis, chairwoman of Bedford Hospital Health Trust, said. "But until we get fair funding we will spend all our time catching up. If we got proper funding and proper support, this hospital would flourish."
And instead of conjuring up sad images of corpses dumped in a chapel, the words "Bedford Hospital" might come to mean something much more wholesome.
Last night a spokesman for the Department of Health insisted the hospital was receiving more money in real terms since 1997. By 2003, he said, its budget will be double the amount available then. The number of nurses has increased by 75 and the number of doctors by 19. "No one is saying the NHS is perfect," he said. "But it simply is not right to imply hospitals like Bedford are underfunded."

Making Stone Soup Outside
We borrowed the book "Stone Soup" from the library and we've been reading it over and over for weeks. L absolutely loves the story, as did I when I was a kid.
There are many variations, but if you are unfamiliar with this classic folktale,
wikipedia will summarize the most popular version for you (because I am lazy haha) .
Some travellers come to a village, carrying nothing more than an empty cooking pot. Upon their arrival, the villagers are unwilling to share any of their food stores with the hungry travellers. Then the travellers go to a stream and fill the pot with water, drop a large stone in it, and place it over a fire. One of the villagers becomes curious and asks what they are doing. The travellers answer that they are making "stone soup", which tastes wonderful, although it still needs a little bit of garnish to improve the flavour, which they are missing. The villager does not mind parting with a few carrots to help them out, so that gets added to the soup. Another villager walks by, inquiring about the pot, and the travellers again mention their stone soup which has not reached its full potential yet. The villager hands them a little bit of seasoning to help them out. More and more villagers walk by, each adding another ingredient. Finally, a delicious and nourishing pot of soup is enjoyed by all.
So on this beautiful sunny spring day, L did what I remember doing many times as a child...make stone soup outside using natural materials. And just like I once did, he believed whole heartedly that his soup was "real" and tasted delicous! I love a child's imagination!
Soup from a stone. Fancy that!

I love the story! Sometimes when I play outside I make stone soup. His looks good too, but it also looks like there's doggy-doo in it. :P

In kindergarten we actually made stone soup just as the book said with our teacher. I remember everyone got a stone in their soup and loved it!!
