Gary Looking at Letting Some Parks Back to Nature
The city of Gary, Indiana is considering a reduction of its total number of parks, while revamping some that have been neglected for a long time. Gary Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson said the parks are being examined to see whether they are actually serving the residents in light of the decreased population of the city. Parks Superintendent McKenya Dilworth said as many as 20 of the city's 57 parks could be allowed to revert to their natural state, adding that any decision would be made in consultation with the council and residents.
New Milwaukee Park will be Sustainable, Eco-friendly… and Green
New plans are underway in Milwaukee for a new, super-green park intended for communities and families. The park, which will be built on a vacant lot, will be a "storm water park" that is sustainable and eco-friendly. The project is being overseen by the city's Environmental Collaboration Office (ECO) through a public-private partnership run by the ECO, which converts vacant lots into healthy green spaces to drive economic development and job creation and increase quality of life. Since the partnership started in 2014, the group has created 30 new pocket parks, orchards, and community gardens from more than 50 vacant lots.
School Gardens Are More Than a Trend
School gardens are on the rise in the United States with more than 7,000 school gardens growing across the country, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Farm to School census. Organizations and studies report a list of long list of benefits to school gardens including an increase in students' standardized test scores, greater nutrition awareness and reduced symptoms of ADD, ADHD and stress.
Preservation of Public Lands a Top Priority for Americans, Survey Finds
A recent poll conducted by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), a network of more than 52,000 park and recreation professionals and advocates, reaffirms that Americans are passionate about the preservation of public lands, such as local, state and national parks, making the permanent authorization of the Land and Water Conservation Fund an even bigger priority for lawmakers and the new administration.
Park Use Influences Perceived Health
Researchers at Penn State College of Medicine showed that Americans who use their local parks or participated in recreation programs offered by local park and recreation agencies are more likely to report high levels of self-reported overall health status.The research stems from data collected in 1991 and 2015 as part of a broader look at Americans' use and perceptions of local parks and recreation services. Both studies were commissioned by the National Recreation and Park Association.
Finland Wants You to Celebrate Its Independence by Going Outside
Finland celebrates its 100th anniversary as an independent nation this year by inviting everyone to go outside and take advantage of the country's beautiful nature. The country is promoting a national event called four "Nature Days" (one per season), which are full of events outdoors including skiing, hiking, birdwatching, or swimming. The dates are February 4, May 20, June 17, and August 2nd.
Pets Are a Child's Best Friend
According to a study published in the Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology, household pets may have a major influence on child development and could have a positive impact on children's social skills and emotional well-being. The study, which surveyed 12-year-olds from 77 families who had at least one pet and more than one child in the household, demonstrated lower levels of conflict and greater levels of satisfaction in children who had dogs versus other types of pets.
The Greening of Atlanta's Schools
High schoolers tending to miniature goats; preschoolers pumping water to irrigate gardens; third graders building forts from sticks. Students in a growing number of Atlanta- area schools are heading outdoors to learn as schools are seeing an upsurge in interest in nature-based learning so expose more children to the many benefits of nature.
Dodge Nature Center: 50 Years of Celebrating the Great Outdoors
Minnesota's Thomas Irvine Dodge Nature Center celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. Dodge Nature Center, which encompasses over 460 acres, was one of the first nature centers in Minnesota. Its centers and preschool are recognized nationally for environmental education.
First Nations Leaders Launch Non-profit to Help Youth on Reserves
First Nations leaders have launched a non-profit to help youth on reserves, engaging them with nature and with their cultural roots. The organization, Paddling With the Cree, takes Kashechewan's young people on wilderness outings with leaders and elders. Author and journalist Alexandra Shimo and several First Nations leaders decided to found the non-profit organization to try and mitigate some of the ongoing impacts that are affecting First Nations children.
The Repurposing of Vacant Urban Lots Emerges as a Strategy to Reduce Crime
Cities across the United States including Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Houston and New Orleans are repurposing and greening vacant urban lots in an effort to cut down on crime and improve mental and physical health for local residents. The efforts include clearing, grading and seeding thousands of vacant lots, believing that empty properties with head-high weeds, scrubby trees, trash and debris are excellent hiding places for guns, drugs and criminal activity. After the initial cleanup, cities partner with neighborhood groups and nonprofits to care for the lots, or in some instances sell them to people who agree to maintain or develop them.
Active Kids Less Likely to Be Depressed Later
The Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim has found that increasing physical activity in children may prevent depression in later years. Study researchers surveyed parents to assess children's mental health at age 6, then did follow-up interviews with parents and kids at age 8 and 10 to determine whether they had symptoms of depression. Higher levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity at ages 6 and 8 predicted fewer symptoms of major depressive disorder two years later, with every extra hour of such activity linked with a moderate decrease in symptoms.
The Forest Service Relaxes Restrictions on Recreation
The United States Forest Service announced that it is modernizing and streamlining its recreation permit process in an effort to encourage use of its land, rather than restrict access. The decision is intended to expand access particularly to groups, to help ensure that future generations stay connected to their public lands.
For Better Vision, Let the Sunshine In
A recent study from King's College London, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine suggests that the elevated rates of myopia, or short-sightedness, may be related to keeping children inside. This new study of over 3000 volunteers found strong correlations between current eyesight and volunteers' lifetime exposure to sunlight. The research joins a growing body of research indicating that a lack of direct sunlight may reshape the human eye and impair vision.
At 'Nature Preschools,' Classes Are Outdoors
Nature preschools, or preprimary schools where children spend all or part of their days outdoors, are on the rise in the United States with close to 250 nature preschools open across the country. According to the Natural Start Alliance, a coalition supporting early childhood and environmental education, only a few dozen nature preschools operated in the United States just five years ago. However, some experts see room for improvement in such schools, particularly regarding access for many urban and economically disadvantaged children.
National Park Visits Hit Record High
The National Park Service reports that visits to U.S. national parks is on track to surpass 325 million in 2016, breaking the all-time high of 307 million set in 2015. The increased interest is likely due to a major marketing campaign launched by the National Park Service to celebrate its 100th birthday in 2016, including free passes for every fourth-grader and their families. The Parks Service says the increased visitation is good news but it also brings challenges for the Park Service such as overcrowded roads and trails and increasing visitor misbehavior.
Fake Nature in Australian Child Care Centers
In Melbourne, "simulated outdoor environments" in schools— or indoor areas simulating the outdoors— are under debate. Educators cite research establishing the developmental benefits of the outdoors and nature to children in complaints to the Australian Education Union regarding its approval of childcare centers without outdoor space. Proponents of indoor spaces stress the all-season functionality of the approach.
In Korea: Children Have a Right to Play but Little Time
A recent survey shows that Korean kids lead lives that may be too busy for outdoor play. More than 83 percent of 5-year-olds and 36 percent of 2-year-olds in South Korea receive private education, often in the form of tutoring. In some cases, 5-year-olds receive up to four hours of extra classes a day after their regular kindergarten program, revealed data released earlier this week by the Korea Institute of Child Care. In addition, some experts say playgrounds are not stimulating enough for the children, fostering a preference for computer games and mobile phone chatting than outdoor play.
First Study to Show Parents' Concerns about Neighborhood Restrict Kids' Outdoor Play
A study conducted by LSU Health New Orleans School of Public Health is the first to demonstrate that parents who are concerned about their neighborhoods restrict their children's outdoor play. The study is published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health.
Outdoor Learning Boosts Children's Development
Outdoor learning can have a positive impact on children's development but it needs to be formally adopted, a report from UK researchers suggests. The report showed that, although there was a significant body of research that supports outdoor learning in both formal and informal contexts, outdoor learning was likely to remain on the margins of education until the benefits were recognized by policymakers and reflected in policies.

Imagine a Corvette ZR1. Now subtract 1000 pounds. You should have the picture painted by the Superlite Coupe, or SL-C, a $179,000 turnkey kit car from Rapier Automotive. Based on the body produced by Race Car Replicas, the mid-engine SL-C boasts an all-aluminum, TIG-welded monocoque chassis and space frame hybrid, along with your choice of three Corvette powertrains.
The base engine is the 6.2-liter LS3 with 480 horsepower. The next step up is the Z06's 505-horsepower 7.0-liter LS7, while the ZR1's supercharged, 638-horsepower LS9 tops the pack. The transmission, a six-speed manual from Ricardo, routes power to the rear wheels. Brake rotors measure 13 inches front and 11.8 inches rear with six-piston calipers on both ends, and Rapier puts the curb weight at 2375 pounds. The suspension consists of pushrod-actuated coil-over shocks front and rear.
Results? With the LS7, Rapier's performance claims include 3.2-second 0-to-60 mph acceleration and a 10.6-second quarter mile time. Top speed is 222 mph.
Boston-based Rapier, named after the thin, pointy swords used in fencing, takes roughly nine months to build an SL-C after a customer has placed a 50 percent deposit. After placing an order, Rapier builds the SL-C around the customer's dimensions, adjusting floor level, headroom clearance, steering and pedal position, and seat size. There's also a payment plant to have the car paid off when it's ready for delivery.

I have upgraded to last BP and a few users of my website started to get the following issue.
Buddybar shows 1 new notification, but on hovering nothing drops down. Somehow counter added extra notification and I cannot find a way to reset it. When I get additional real notification, it shows "2" but only one notification is shown in drop down.
Is there a way for user to get rid off empty notification or is it BP fault?
If you had a plugin that created a notification which you've now disabled, that would cause it. Does this apply to your site?
it could be the case as I have disabled some plugins. Is there a way to reset notifications or perhaps make changes thru database?

Guildford Rowing Club has received planning consent to rebuild its clubhouse and boathouse to bring its facilities up to date and create a sports club which is accessible to all (see Development page). The Club enjoys regular rowing success on rivers and lakes throughout the country and provided members of the successful rowing squads at the Olympic regattas in Beijing and London. A current club member, Rachel Morris, has recently won Gold at the Rio Paralympics (see biography page). The Club has over 200 members including 100 Juniors and an adaptive (disabled) rowing section which has both senior and junior rowers. Facilities for this growing adaptive section are at the core of the proposed rebuild which will provide accessible changing rooms and toilets, an indoor training area, storage for specialist boats and the whole site designed to enable access for all rowers with gentle gradients, extra turning space and safe surfaces. If all goes according to plan the Club hopes to start building in 2018. If anyone would like to know more about Guildford Rowing Club please contact the club via the website.
Guildford Rowing Club A Vision
The Club has a good fleet of boats and equipment and a large number of volunteers who coach, maintain the equipment and tow the trailers to events. Over the last 7 years the Club has developed an Adaptive rowing squad for adults and juniors with a range of disabilities.
Rachel Morris winning Silver at the World Championships 2015 and Helene Raynsford winning Gold in Beijing 2008. Rachel Morris wins Gold in Rio 2016
The Clubhouse, Boathouse and boating area were built by Club members in the 1960s. There are no accessible toilets, changing facilities for the disabled or a suitable land-training area. Half of the boats have to be stored outdoors.
A planning application is being submitted to build a new Clubhouse, Boathouse and boating area which will be accessible to all. The Club has been raising funds for this project and is now in a position to proceed to the next stage.
How Can You Help?
We will pay for our project as follows:
- Club funds – 10%
- Sport England (Lottery) – 25%
- British Rowing – 10%
- Other sources – 55%
The estimated cost of the project is £650,000
You can help by:
- A donation
- Sponsorship of a squad, or event
- In kind by providing a service or materials
In return the Club can:
- Provide team building days at the Club using our boats equipment and expert coaches
- Carry advertising on boats, clothing and ancillary equipment such as boat trailers
- Ensure positive publicity through association with our inclusive and successful Club
- For information regarding sponsorship opportunities contact: email@example.com

Yes, This is cheese. LOL. Court's grandparents put their cooler in the garage so Xander wouldn't get into it like last time... But, he did what he does best and found a way. I caught him twice in the garage trying to stuff it into his mouth and this is all that is left. That boy!

When my children were young, I would take them to a nearby park to play on The Castle.
This 'castle' was a clump of large bushes in which a child would hide, about three by nine yards and on a plateau raised about eighteen inches above the surrounding grass.
It is one of the many delights of having a small child to be able to recapture the mind-set which sees this as a castle; and regards visiting such a place as a treat.
The child's imagination does the job, with only the barest of stimuli; yet of course a child is not wholly satisfied by fantasy play. He yearns for the play to be 'real'. He yearns to have real fights against real baddies in a real castle.
However, if he was fighting (and beating) real baddies in real fights in a real castle - he would discover that this did not satisfy him either. It would not fill the yearning.
Indeed, if he had enough opportunities, the child would discover that nothing conceivable on earth can fulfill that yearning to fight real baddies in a real castle.
CS Lewis regarded this as a proof of Heaven, and called it the argument from desire; on the basis that such a desire would not be universal to Men yet impossible unless there was a real place but not on earth where such a desire could be satisfied.
As with all such arguments, it does not compel belief - and any desire can be 'explained away' by some evolutionary or otherwise mechanistic and meaningless just-so story; but I personally find it convincing.

No Gi grappling tournament at Fighthouse NYC This Sunday July 29th 2007
Is anyone going this Sunday? Unfortunately, I have work this Sunday, but I'm interested to see how this turns out. There seems to be a lack of grappling tournaments in NY, with most of them being held in NJ. So hopefully there will be couple out here where I can just pop in to.

How long did it last? Last time I heard the tournament wasn't setup too well, was it run a little bet ter this time?

Dude, you were there?
It was a total clusterfuck, it started like an hour and half late for what seemed like no reason. Once **** got going it was single round eliminations, which I thought kind of sucked. In the case of a draw it went to sudden death of one minute.
But never having competed in grappling maybe all of thats normal.

Pakistan is all things to all travellers. For a start, reaching Pakistan allows you to make one of the two most challenging and invigorating journeys open to late 20th-century travellers: the great overland trek from Britain via Turkey and Iran, which my friends Gurdev Singh and Bharat Parmar recently achieved inside a fortnight. Or, more alluring still, the best-value air ticket to anywhere that you can buy in Britain.
Once a week, Azerbaijan Airlines (0171-493 2281) flies via Istanbul to Baku, where you transfer for the connecting flight to Karachi. This 16- hour journey costs you just pounds 160, one-way. (The reason the one-way fare is quoted is that the return trip requires a six-day stay in the transit lounge at Baku airport.)
You arrive in what the Foreign Office and the State Department agree is one of the most dangerous cities on earth. So you should quickly make good your escape; fortunately, this young country has a finer repertoire of tourist attractions than almost any other.
For supreme sub-continent immersion, make for Lahore, close to the Indian frontier. This superbly human city is a mix of cultures, cuisines and religions, whose civic tolerance is perhaps its greatest virtue.
At another extreme, Peshawar is more exotic still. The last stop before the Khyber Pass into Afghanistan is a real frontier town, where it is said that a Kalashnikov can be picked up as easily as a carpet.
The independent traveller will be most attracted, though, by the Hunza Valley. I have always thought of this as one of the most misleading place names, since it conceals the truth that this great rift in the Himalayas will take you to gaspingly high altitudes and, ultimately, across the Karakoram into China.
But how to get home? Wherever you wish to travel next, there is one very good reason to take that one-way flight to Karachi: air fares in Pakistan are lower than anywhere else in the world. The author of How to Fly Cheaper, Hugo van Reijen, suggests you should visit the country once a year to buy all your air tickets for the next 12 months.

SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Honorary Collaborator
Some best cuts of this album are: "Back to the Front" - classic Kayak tune with good composition, melodious, presented in pop progressive style. The piano sound is simple but enjoyable. "Nothingness" - great piano and melodic vocal harmony with classical music influence. The melody touches my heart, really! The ambient vocal harmony augmented with piano in the middle of the track is really excellent. One of my favorite Kayak's tunes. "Still My heart cries for you" - melodic. "Relics from a distant age" - great piano work and melodic; classical influence. "The Last Encore" - melodic prog pop rock with classical touch.
It's not full 4 star and I think 3.5 / 5 is a fair rating. For Kayak fans, this album is an excellent collection because it demonstrates unique Kayak sound! GW, Indonesia.
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Honorary Collaborator / Retired Admin
Contrary to what the title might suggest, this was by no means Kayak's final release. "The last encore" was in fact the band's 1976 follow up to the highly revered "Royal bed bouncer".
It has taken me a long time, and at least four albums to pinpoint the similarity which I hear in Max Werneer's vocals. Finally, I have realised that he reminds me a lot of Chris Squire (of Yes), in his tone, phrasing, and slight lisp. The vocals on this album are in fact one of its high points. Right from the spirited opener "Back to front", there is an underlying strength to the harmonies and vocal effects. This is particularly evident on the Beach Boys like vocalising on the beautiful "Nothingness", the track also having some highly effective orchestration. "Love of a victim" retains the Yes similarities, sounding very like an outtake from the "Drama" album.
Ton Scherpenzeel's piano playing is once again the basis for many of the tracks, coming to the fore superbly on pieces such as the excellent title song. Johan Slager adds some fine guitar here too, although his solo could have been more dynamic.
While the compositions are generally strong, the album leans towards the pop orientation of subsequent albums such as "Starlight dancer" and "Phantom of the night". The orchestration is certainly used effectively to add further dimensions, but the tracks are brief (2-5 minutes), often falling short of being fully realised. "Land on the water" for example has some fine guitar and keyboards, but at only 2:27, it lacks substance. There are some definite prog, or at least prog related moments, such as the Alan Parsons Project like "Still my heart cries for you". Conversely, the wartime like music of "Love me tonight/get on board" is ill advised, and a needless diversion.
I hesitate to appear over critical though, as this is a highly enjoyable album, full of strong melodies and competent performances. Any frustration I have is entirely down to the fact that the band has a tendency to play well within their capabilities, and do not exploit to the full their enormous potential.
About a year ago I wrote a very long review for this record, but due to a mistake of my browser only a rating was sent to PA. I want to rewrite a review now, because terrible injustice is done with the low rating for this masterpiece.
Kayak was one of the first progressive artist I listened to. On the fair of Queensday (Dutch feast around the birthday of the Queen mother) I bought my first vinyl record of Kayak, The Last Encore. It was among my first ten records. My only reference was at the time Metallica and Iron Maiden and maybe Contagion of Arena. Though at first I though this record was very strange (compared to the heavy metal I used to listen), I quite liked the melodies and the songs. Even the strange high pitch voice of Max Werned did something with me. From this point a started to look for all the early work of Kayak. Their first for albums can be seen as pure symphonic prog. NO crossover to be found here.
Now about the record itself. You might not want to waste your time on buying the cd, for it sounds like crap. I might never have like this if I had only had the cd version of this. You will need the vinyl version in order to enjoy this. Kayak has a sort of artistic sound on this album. Every song is quite complicated and now it sometimes reminds me of Italian symphonic progbands like early PFM. It just doesn't sound very English. You can hear a lot different instrument on the album including the Mellotron, accordion, guitars, drums, bass, saxophone, horns and all sorts of keyinstrument including a grand piano.
The tracks, one by one for this special review.
Back to the Front is a very abrupt start for a symphonic progrecord, within seconds you are in the middle of a song. The recognisable Scherpenzeel piano sound and the tension building rhythm make this a great starting song. The lyrics are touching. The main theme of the song is dark but light begins to shine on the bridge where the vocals and the piano parts are hopefull. The perfect vocal harmonies during the 'It's only love.." part complete the song and make it a perfect opening track. 9/10
Nothingness. A great symphonic piano ballad with a abnormal high masterpiecerate! After the great voice of Max Werner and the short silence starts one of the most beatifull vocal harmonies I ever heard. Spooky, warm.. It's hard to discribe. After this we get a Piano/mellotron theme in wich Kayak shows it's perfect symphonic capabilities. GREAT! 10/10
Love of A Victim. An uptempo rocker with great guitar riffs. The rhythms of the guitar during these solo's are very original, it gives the song a confronting edge. The keyboard parts on the bridge sound original, I've never heard such a keyboard sound. 8/10
Land on the Water was born as some hitpotential was needed for a Dutch band in other to survive. The song is gentle and short. The vocals of Max Werner still make it deserve a 7/10
The Last Encore is another ballad of grand stature. The main theme is very emotional, the lyrics theatric. I don't have words to discribe the beauty of this piecefull song. 10/10
Do You Care is a song that falls in between the masterpieces. It's a great symphonic tune with some nice moogs in the melody. Again touchy. 8/10
Still my Heart Cries for you. We've had some great songs, but the best is still to come. Opening with a melodic, vulnerable theme this is the epic of this album. After the short vocal parts the symphonic adventure starts. Kayak seems to have a lot of energy here. Especially the "The image of you shall always stay with me" part is one of the greatest Kayak achievements. Great symphonic rock. The end is as beautiful as the beginning. 10/10
Relics from a distant Age. Another masterpiece! The track starts with a 2 minute piano solo with classical influences. After the opening part one of the most magical songs ever recorded arises. This is so atmospheric. Intelligent composition skills are applied with the so called church keys. Again perfect vocals of mister Werner. 11/10!
Love me Tonight/Get on Board is a kind of joke. It has a '40 atmosphere of glamorous love-affairs. So have blamed this to ruin the atmospheres of the album. I just think it's a funny track. 6/10
Evocation. From here The Last Encore becomes very dark and a bit abstract. There is tension and the atmospheres are a bit unclear. For me this sounds really magical and it touches me. I find this song artistic. The special pianopart in the middle of the song is one of the highlights of this album. 9/10
Raid Your Own House. Another dark song. The lyrics are like a story being told, a sort of dialogue from a one person's perspective. 8/10
Well Done. Like the second and third record of Kayak there is a very short concentrated ending song. Didn't they have the time to make it a full song? However this a greatly inspired piece of music about someone who thanks his mother for what she has done for him. The fact that the song is short and the massages is concentrated make this a masterpiece. 9/10.
Conclusion. A complete record with a lot of different songs, going from symphonic to classical, from rock to dark moody progressive. The vocals are an acquired taste, but you might just start to like it intensely. One of my favourite records of all time! Five Stars!
They have a lot to share with ''Supertramp'' IMO. The music is not aggressive at all, it flows nicely from one song to another. As for their earlier releases (''Kayak II'' and ''RBB''), the music is pretty much accessible but not boring at all.
Vocal harmonies combined with nice keyboards parts are so enjoyable! There is a lot of feeling in those elements which are highly dominant in the beautiful ''Nothingness''. Lots of progheads who like the eclectic genre will of course consider this type of music with a lesser appreciation, but I'm in this sort of mood tonight: to listen to such easy listening music and enjoy it.
''Love of a Victim'' is a punchy rocking song which is quite fun and different from the other songs available on this ''Last Encore''. Not all songs are so pleasant though; the mellow ''Land on the Water'' is a bit too much at this point. Some sort of complaint which isn't memorable.
The title track is again a pleasant rock ballad whose highlights are some good piano work and an emotional guitar part. The quality of this album might also well be its weakness in the sense that you could play it when receiving friends and there are little chances that anybody will be annoyed with the experience, but at the same time few of them will remind it as a great souvenir.
Most of the songs are on the short side, but ''Kayak'' has never been recognized for his long and complex epics, right? So, this simple music has to be listened as it is and no search for intricate stuff is needed.
You just have to relax, sit back, have a nice drink and enjoy these fine pop-prog melodies. ''Still My Heart Cries for You'' is another fine moment: between the ballad and some rocking experience. Amazingly enough, the piano intro of ''Relics from a Distant Age'' show some flamenco influences and this is rather rare to be noticed. This is another highlight from this record (as well as the longest track featured): a moving song indeed featuring such delicate vocals and beautiful piano play (again).
Some flow in the last section of this album like: ''Love Me Tonight'' could have been avoided (it has certain links with ''10CC'' but it doesn't hold the comparison with the sophisticated arrangements of these genious).
IMO, their best work was their debut which showed a more prog angle. But so far, ''Kayak'' didn't release any weak album and this one is in line. A good album. Three stars.
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Prog-Folk Team
Nonetheless, in some cases strong melodies do shine through and salvage this release from life imprisonment. The ambient "Nothingness", the maudlin "Land on the Water" and the cosmic "Relics from a Distant Age" all distinguish themselves while exposing the wasted talent elsewhere. For each of these are a couple of vapid duds like "Back to the Front", "Love of a Victim", "Do You Care", "Still My Heart Cries for You", "love me Tonight/Get on Board".
KAYAK combined some of the worst aspects of pop and prog: the ephemerality of the former and the impenetrability of the latter. Even the cheesily rousing anthems of STYX and QUEEN, and the late 1970s/early 1980s concessions of YES, GENESIS, and CAMEL seem more authentic than the Kayak of 1976. Nonetheless, they did garner a sufficient audience to ensure that "Last Encore" would not live up to its name. Slightly under 2 stars.

Of all the wonderful Kayak albums to pick from, I gravitate to The Last Encore most of the time. I'd say it's easily the most melodic of the bunch - and Kayak has always been one VERY melodic band.

To me, this is the very best Kayak album of all. The songwriting of Ton Scherpenzeel and Pim Koopman is very well-balanced on this record. The melodies, atmosphere and songwriting on this record are amazing. Only two songs are not that great: Love Me Tonight/Get On Board [wich is a joke] and Rai ... (read more)

It tells you something about the low international profile of Spanish music that the pieces we most associate with the country... Bizet's Carmen and Ravel's Bolero... were composed by Frenchmen.

The picture on the television screens in the hospitality boxes settled repeatedly on Danny Cipriani, the stubble-chinned England fly-half, and Martin Johnson, the black-haired manager with the world-renowned beetle brow. Their looks matched their mood: darker, still and darker.
The Australians were in concert, too, forwards and backs high-fiving each other when England's last thrust was repelled. By then Cipriani was off the field, nursing a sore ankle and hurt pride. The hurried comeback of the putative golden child of Johnson's new generation began staggering to a halt about an hour into a gripping battle which became a vengeful Wallaby win.
England were trailing and looking troubled as Cipriani hopped and flexed his right ankle, stamping his foot into the turf. "It got banged twice on the metal bit, I just needed to jump it off when I get knocked on it," he said. After 71 minutes he was replaced by Toby Flood. This was Cipriani's seventh start since he returned on 1 October, six weeks ahead of schedule following an ugly injury last spring, and it wasn't only the argument with the ironmongery which went awry.
Neither Johnson nor Cipriani made any bones – pinned together or otherwise – about England's lack of cohesion. Nick Easter and Danny Care, the No 8 and scrum-half, play together for Harlequins and they ran rapidly from tapped free-kicks and around the fringes with an umbilical understanding. Too often, though, they were on FM while Cipriani was stuck on a medium wave. England will only prosper when this and many other combinations gel. At the scrum, as the front rows hit the deck time and again, we saw a frustrated "Cips", hands on hips. "We're a new side and it's a massive learning curve," said Cipriani. "There's a certain structure and we need to stick to it."
Cipriani had spent his summer mending and waiting, sprinting and weight training. Though he insisted his ankle was "fine", he would surely have liked different preparation for the biggest test of his five-cap career. Cipriani's opposite number was Matt Giteau, the gifted and versatile 26-year-old. Giteau spent his summer playing six times against South Africa and New Zealand in the Tri-Nations. Where he was 63 caps ago in 2002, making his Test debut in this very fixture, Cipriani stands now.
Each fly-half made one clean break in the first half. Giteau anticipated a line-out overthrow and made 40 metres. Cipriani glided between the Australian locks. He did it again in the opening stages of the second half and then, after the forwards re-set the position, snapped an awful drop-goal attempt wide. Nothing hurts a No 10 like a wrong option – mentally, at least. "I did a few things that were inconsistent," he said.
Two missed kicks in the first half and a vertical garryowen drew wider moans. On the other hand, Cipriani stood up well with a penalty goal when England needed it a minute before half-time (Giteau missed immediately after) and another in the 52nd minute, soon after the misplaced drop. That made it 14-12 to England; Giteau's next kick retook the lead.
Tired body, tired mind? Cipriani was obliged by the laws to kick infield when England threw the ball into their 22, (the crowd groaned nonetheless) and the Wallabies ran it back to earn another penalty, converted by Giteau for 18-14. Another weak kick by Cipriani from his in-goal area invited another Australian counter; Giteau, brilliantly, flicked an awful pass off the floor and Adam Ashley-Cooper scored.
The Western Force shelled out about two million quid to sign Giteau in 2006. Cipriani's stock was not exactly wiped out yesterday but the gold standard prevailed. "We've learned a lesson of how to close out a game and be together as a team," he said. And South Africa next Saturday? "Playing the world champions, there won't be as much room for mistakes."

Last Legacy Of Sheriff Tommy Thomas: A Wrongful Death Lawsuit
Harris County Sheriff Tommy Thomas is leaving office in a few weeks, thanks to the voters, but his legacy will live on, thanks to a lawsuit filed over a jailhouse death.
Daniel Goldberg recently filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the department in state district court on behalf of the parents of Alfred Adams, who they claim was beaten to death by county jailors two years ago.
"The lawsuit is being filed now," Goldberg told Hair Balls, "because the Harris County Sheriff's Department, under the [Thomas] administration, made no efforts to investigate this abuse of power, apologize to Mr. Adams' still grieving parents and family, or change the treatment of non-violent inmates. The family contacted my office out of desperation with a process that has resulted in nothing more than their son's death."
Police arrested Adams in November 2006 for driving with an expired license, says Goldberg, and then brought him to the Harris County jail.

Upon arrival, Adams complained of feeling ill, was treated, and then sent back to the processing cell. Goldberg says that when the guards told Adams to move to another cell, Adams was too sick to respond quickly, so the officers began to beat Adams unconscious. Adams was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
A Sheriff's spokesman initially told reporters that Adams died from cocaine and that the bruises on his body occurred when he had a seizure and officers had to restrain him.
Goldberg concedes that Adams' autopsy report does say cocaine was the cause of death, but that "the report also listed in detail his extensive injuries ... [and] the injuries were sufficient to be an independent cause of death, heighten the possibility of death of any cocaine digestion, or at least cloud the exact reason of death. Either way, cocaine consumption should never warrant a physical assault ...."
Goldberg says he's found several witnesses willing to testify on Adams' behalf as to the officers' behavior.
"It is unimaginable that a young man, checked in for a non-violent offense, should be assaulted by several well-armed guards for his inability to comply with the guards' orders," Goldberg says. "It is our hope that the new Sheriff recognizes the past administration's problems and is sincere in his desire to bring about a positive new direction for the department and the County, as he was elected to do. Only time will tell."

Climate Change Adaptation for Health and Social Services
Edited by:
What we need to do in local communities to support and protect the people most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change in Australia.
Climate Change Adaptation for Health and Social Services addresses concerns from the health and community services sector, including local government, about how to respond to climate change and its impacts on communities. + Full description
What should an intervention framework for the community-based health and social services sector contain and how can it complement an organisation's core values, role and work programs? What current direct and indirect impacts of climate change are most relevant to organisations and the communities they serve? Which population groups are most vulnerable to climate change and what are the impacts on them? Above all, what can be done to reduce the current risks from climate change to clients, communities and organisations?
Written by expert researchers and practitioners, this book presents existing research, innovative practice and useful tools to support organisations taking practical steps towards adaptation to the impacts of climate change on people. It examines the evidence of climate change impacts on six of the most vulnerable population groups – people with disability; older people; women and children; Aboriginal people; rural people; and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds – as well as discussing effective interventions. Other key issues covered include health and social impacts of climate change, adaptation, mitigation, climate change communication, organisational adaptation and a case study of innovation illustrating some of the book's themes.
Accessible, informative and incorporating extensive evidence and experience, Climate Change Adaptation for Health and Social Services is relevant for anyone within the health and community services sector concerned about climate change and its impacts on their community.
- Short descriptionReviews
"Twenty-five academics and professionals from across Australia prepared the 12 chapters of this book... Their combined theoretical knowledge and practical experiences have provided an invaluable handbooks for those with operational responsibilities in the health and social services areas by sharing ideas about options for defining and implementing adaptive responses... this [is] truly a handbook for raising, for these sectors, awareness of options but with practical solutions for action."

Ibrahim Ali aka Katak MP won the Pasir Mas Constituency in the 12 GE using PAS ticket. But after he won the seat, he back-stabbed PAS and became UMNO friendly MP.
He was made the President of PERKASA by Racist Mahathir. Let us find out what is this racist MP doing when attending Parliament meeting.
Most of the time when we talk about Ibrahim Ali we will imagine someone who is very outspoken in defending UMNO cronies, the MP who betrayed PAS the party that helped him to get his MP status, the fierce looking person who dared to wagging war against the Malaysian Chinese, and the person who dared to declare holy war (Jihad) against the Malaysian Christians.
But the photo that I am going to share with all readers of Bukittunggal.com below totally different from what this Katak MP always portrayed in the name of PERKASA (NGO that defends UMNO). This katak MP was shown sleeping in the background of the parliament CCTV while his fellow BN MP making speech. But the next day, this Katak MP defended his Sleeping whilst in the tour of duty as MP paid by the tax payer monies as due to the cought syrup that he took during the sitting. Hi Katak MP, F**K You..If you dont feel healthy stay at home. Parliament is better without you.

Accepting my "new" body
8 comments:
Thanks for sharing your heart about this. You are beautiful! I wish they had stores in Colorado. I've had bad experiences with ordering clothes online. Even if they fit...I sometimes don't like the way it looks. But I am definitely considering it. They have so many beautiful things. Another fun place is Torrid...it's from the Hot Topic family...for plus size.
Have a great weekend! :)
Kellyhey nice post mehn. I love your style of blogging here. The way you writes reminds me of an equally interesting post that I read some time ago on Daniel Uyi's blog: A Lifetime Isn't Very Long .
keep up the good work.
RegardsHey! I've been an occasional reader of your blog (You have some awesome home-y stuff!)
But I've never commented. I went through a crazy time in my life a few years ago when I was in college (my parents divorced) and I ended up gaining some weight as well. I am also a size 16 (was a 10/12 in high school). I've been this way for a few years now, and I don't think I've "fully accepted it" I really enjoyed reading this post and your pictures! You are stunning, even as a size 16. Thank you for posting this and thank you for your confidence!

Global bioceramics market is expected to reach USD 19.05 billion by 2022, according to a new report by Radiant Insights, Inc. Rising ageing population coupled with increasing occurrences of osteoarthritis is expected to augment market growth over the next seven years.
Growing need to maintain a healthy lifestyle coupled with introduction of new low cost preventive care measures has led to the utilization of medical devices, which is expected to augment expansion of the industry.
Alumina dominated the global market, in terms of material, accounting for over 62% in 2014. Bioinertness, hardness and high abrasion resistance are some of its qualities, resulting in the extensive use of alumina implants for dental and joint applications.
View Full Report with TOC @ http://www.radiantinsights.com/research/bioceramics-market
Growing demand for biocompatible materials to increase acceptance by the patients' body as well as reduce the occurrence of infections post surgery is expected to augment demand for alumina over the forecast period.
Further key findings from the study suggest:
Global bioceramics market demand was USD 12.31 billion in 2014 and is expected to reach USD 19.05 billion by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2015 to 2022.
Rising ageing population in developed economies has been a major factor for positive growth over the past few years and this trend is likely to continue in the near future. Increasing trend of early surgical intervention by doctors in case of joint replacements has resulted in growing demand for knee, shoulder and hip implants. This will result in increasing penetration of bioceramics in the orthopedic sector generating revenues worth USD 7.87 billion by 2022.
Advancements in medical technology and demand for sophisticated medical services & devices are expected to augment demand for bioceramics over the forecast period. Changing food consumption patterns among younger population coupled with lack of nutrition in diet have contributed towards cavity formation and damaged tooth health. This has led to increasing demand for dental crowns, bridges, and bristles which has eventually contributed towards increasing penetration of bioceramics in dental care.
Europe was the largest market and is expected to witness gains at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2015 to 2022. Positive outlook towards the orthopedic sector, mainly in Germany, is expected to drive market growth.
Key industry players including CeramTec, Amedica Corporation, Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc, DOCERAM Medical Ceramics GmbH, Straumann, Nobel Biocare and CoorsTek Medical, LLC. These companies are investing heavily in research and development activities of bioceramics materials.
Companies such as CIRTEC Medical Systems perform thermal shock testing of brazed and ceramic components which help in making robust designs. In addition, the company is also using x-ray and dye penetration technology to evaluate various ceramic components.

The Harvard Square God
By Herbert F. Vetter
Part IV
William Ernest Hocking was a member of the Department of Philosophy at Harvard which invited Alfred North Whitehead, the British mathematician and philosopher of natural sciences, to come to these shores in 1924. He received word that he was being asked to teach not mathematics—which had been the subject he had taught for 40 years—but philosophy, the field of his concentrated thought expressed in such of his books as The Philosophy of Physical Nature. To his wife, Whitehead exclaimed, "There is nothing in the world that I would rather do." When they arrived in the Harvard Square community in 1924, an astonishing transformation took place with respect to his productivity. He delivered a series of Lowell Lectures on Science and the Modern World in 1925. Following this classic work, he delivered in the very next year Lowell Lectures on Religion in the Making. This little book abounds with aphoristic wisdom and insight, containing phrases such as the movement from God the Void, to God the Enemy, to God the Companion. The following year saw the publication of Symbolism: Its Meaning and Effect. Only two years later, in 1929, his magnum opus arrived: Process and Reality: An Essay in Cosmology. In the very same year, two other volumes by him were published: The Function of Reason is one; the other is a gathering of essays on The Aims of Education. Other works followed.
Born in 1861, Alfred was the son of an Anglican clergyman who was head of a private school. He was educated in the classical mode: ancient languages, classical authors, mathematics and the Bible, which was read in Greek. In addition to his formal courses at Trinity College, University of Cambridge, his higher education was vigorously advanced by membership in an undergraduate group called The Apostles, which engaged in incessant conversation on matters pertaining to the whole of cultural life. Started by Tennyson in 1820, The Apostles met at 10 on Saturday evening and continued to anytime Sunday morning.
Whitehead's marriage to Evelyn Willoughby added immensely to his aesthetic sensitivity; she taught him that beauty is the aim of existence. A biography of Bertrand Russell describes Russell's enduring but unrequited love for Evelyn Whitehead. The Whiteheads had three children, one of whom was shot down during World War I. Their daughter long was a familiar sight in Harvard Square. The other son taught at the Harvard Business School, and Mrs. T. North Whitehead, his wife, is a person with whom I worked as a member and officer of the Cambridge Historical Society.
Alfred North Whitehead's thought, as seen in his published writings, falls into three main periods. Mathematics and logic engaged his primary attention from the end of the nineteenth century to World War I. He wrote A Treatise on Universal Algebra, then the monumental Principia Mathematica with Russell—"a landmark in the study of logic"—as well as a popular University Library Introduction to Mathematics.
From 1917 until he left for Harvard, Whitehead's focus was the philosophy of physical nature. He wrote The Organization of Thought: Educational and Scientific, An Enquiry Concerning tho Principles of Natural Knowledge, The Concept of Nature, and The Principle of Relativity.
His third period, the Harvard years, dealt with cosmology, metaphysics and civilization. What Whitehead's thought has contributed to civilization may be surmised by the concluding sentence of Charles Hartshorne's interpretation of Whitehead's metaphysics:
The basic principles of our knowledge and experience, physical, biological, sociological, aesthetic, religious, are in this philosophy given an intellectual integration such as only a thousand years or ten thousand years of further reflection and inquiry seem likely to exhaust or adequately evaluate, but whose wide relevance and, in many respects, at least comparative accuracy some of us think can already be discerned.
As you contemplate the wisdom offered to us by Alfred North Whitehead, listen to a few of his bold words concerning God:
God is the ideal companion, the mirror which discloses to every creature its own greatness.
God is not to be treated as an exception to all metaphysical principles, invoked to save their collapse. God is their chief exmplification.
God is the beginning and the end.
God is dipolar.
It is as true to say that God is one and the World many, as that the World is one and God many .
It is as true to say that God creates the World, as that the World creates God.
God is the great companion—the fellow-sufferer who understands.
We find here the final application of the doctrine of objective immortality. Our immediate actions perish and yet live for evermore.
God is in the world, or nowhere, creating continually in us and around us. This creative principle is everywhere, in animate and so-called inanimate matter, in the ether, water, earth, human hearts.
Creation is a continuing process. Insofar as we partake of this creative process we partake of the divine, of God, and that participation is our immortality. Our true destiny as cocreator in the universe is our dignity and grandeur.

The decision was not as painful as deciding against adopting a needy child, but in the case of annexing Mosier School to Hood River County School District, the comparison has merit.
The School Board decided this week, after nearly two years' discussion and research, not to pursue a plan at this time to consider annexing Mosier.
Wisely, the board left the door open to renewing the relationship later. The district showed real interest in looking at every angle to see if it would work, but decided that it would not serve Hood River County schools at this time. However, it could be that the adopted child could help the parent, given geographical proximity and the Mosier and Hood Rier communities' shared dedication to high quality education.
The proposal and the reasons Hood River schools have declined to annex are basically these: Mosier community members faced closure of their beloved school by Chenoweth School District after the 2002-03 school year. They rallied and found a not-quite-permanent solution in forming a charter school this fall, Mosier Community School. The school must keep costs down and enrollment up to continue past this year. Parents then asked Hood River to consider annexing Mosier. The district spent extensive time and resources investigating whether enrollment numbers and tax base and Basic School Support revenue figures could justify annexation and indeed not prove a financial drain to Hood River schools, themselves looking at more and more budget cuts. A huge consideration, too, was the need for expensive capital investment in the aging school building.
Hood River assistant superintendent Rick Eggers and Marcia LaDuke, along with business manager Gwen Gardner, held many meetings and took several tours of the Mosier school and enrollment district during the 2002-03 school year, and district officials including superintendent Pat Evenson-Brady continued that inquiry this year.
The school board and administration agonized over what it generally regarded as a positive, but flawed, opportunity in annexing Mosier. It ties into another hard choice facing the Hood River district: the need to build a new school or schools to meet the needs of its record and rising student enrollment. A plan for construction should happen within three years, given the trend. Fortunately, a citizen-based facilities review committee is now being formed.
The course of review covers how to finance and where to build a school, and what ages and population the new facilities would serve. It should take into consideration the possibility of eventually adopting Mosier.
Educationally, Mosier Community School seems to be thriving, thanks to the flexibility allowed charter schools, and the dedication of Mosier staff, parents and community volunteers. The love of the school and the community's will to make it succeed are encouraging signs for what might help Hood River and Mosier become a school family in the future.

Parkdale third graders sing "12 Disaster Days of Christmas"
Welcome to your sing-able Christmas gift list. What follows is an emergency rendition of "12 Days of Christmas" – for outfitting your home or car in case of snow storm, earthquake, flood or other emergency. Read it as a simple list, or sing it to the tune of "12 Days" – you know, as in " … and a partridge in a pear tree…" Not to make light of it, but the song is a familiar framework for a set of gift ideas that you could consider gathering together, even if the recipient already owns items such as a bunch of coats, tire chains and flashlights. Stores throughout the Gorge are stocked up on all these items. Buying all 12 days might be prohibitive, but here are three ideas for checking any of the dozen off your list (notations follow, 1-12.) The gift items needed to stay warm, dry and safe are also coded to suggest items in your abode (A) in your car (C) or both (B). 12 Gallons of Water (A) 11 Family meals (B) 10 Cans of propane (A) 9 Hygiene bags (B) 8 Packs of batteries (A) 7 Spare coats (B) 6 Bright red flares (C) 5 Cozy blankets (B) 4 Tire chains (C) 3 Flashlights (B) 2 cell phone chargers (B) 1 And a crush-proof first aid kit (B) Price ranges? Here's a few quotes for days Three, Two, Four and Nine: n A family gift of flashlights (three will run $15-30, Hood River Supply, Tum-A-Lum) n Cell phone chargers (two will run $30-60) n Tire chains (basic set, $30, Les Schwab, returnable if unused for the winter) n Family meals ($100 or so should cover the basics for three or four reasonably well-fed days) n The home kit should be kept in a handy place near an exit, and remember that water needs to be replenished every few months. If you have a solid first aid kit already, switch out the gift idea with "and-a-sto-o-u-t- tub-for it-all …" Otherwise, it's a case of assembling your home or car kits and making sure all members of the family know what the resources are and how to use them (ie flares and propane). Emergency situations are at worst life-threatening, at best deeply uncomfortable if you and your family are left without power for an extended period, or traveling and find yourself in a situation where you need to wait out a storm, lengthy traffic delay, or other crisis. Notes on the 12 gift ideas: 12 – Gallons of water: that's one per person in a four-member family to last for three days, the recommended minimum to be prepared for utility outages. 11 – Easy-open packaged goods, energy bars, dried food and nuts are good things to include for nutrition. Think of what your family of four needs for three days to stay fortified and hydrated (see number 12). Can-opener also recommended 10 – If you have a propane camping stove, keep extra fuel handy. 9 – Hygiene bags: put packaged moistened towelettes, toilet paper, and plastic ties in large garbage bags (for personal sanitation) Resource list courtesy of Hood River County Emergency Management, Barbara Ayers, manager/ 541-386-1213. The county also reminds residents to Get a Kit, Make A Plan to connect your family if separated, and Stay Informed. See www.co.hood-river.or.us to opt-in for citizen alerts. Enlarge
