Mac Leaphart chooses his words carefully. That's a good trait for a songwriter, but in Nashville, where it can take a thousand casts just to hook a brim, prolificacy also has its benefits.
"There are tons of people moving here all the time, and the notion that you can be successful as a songwriter or singer ... it's pretty crazy," says Leaphart. "It's really difficult, but if you love doing it, which I do, then you at least give it a shot."
Since leaving Charleston last November to try his hand in Music City, Leaphart says he's penned only a couple of tunes that he'll ever record. That's despite weekly co-writing sessions with other aspiring songwriters. Fortunately, he's got a stocked pond in his back pocket, including the 11 tracks he'll release this spring on his second solo album, Low in the Saddle. Long in the Tooth.
In November 2011, Leaphart learned that he had a brain tumor that needed to be removed immediately. The singer/guitarist went from touring and performing nearly every night to recovering at his parents' house. Charleston's music community rallied around him, and their efforts culminated in a benefit concert in January 2012 that featured everyone from Mark Bryan to Shovels and Rope performing his songs.
Six months after his surgery, Leaphart was back on his feet and gigging, but inspired by his operation, he quickly realized that the time had come to take his dream of being a successful songwriter seriously. That meant moving to Nashville.
"Honestly, I wanted to take a break from driving around and being in a van and playing bars," he says. "I wanted to be a part of Music City, if for nothing else, another chapter. If you want to be a songwriter, you go to Nashville, just like if you want to be in theater you go to New York.
"You've got to at least give it a shot," he adds. "If I come back with my tail between my legs, I can't say that I didn't try."
Trying, so far, includes hosting a weekly songwriter night at Soulshine Pizza Factory, where he also waits tables. The connections made there have led to some of his more productive co-writing sessions, a practice he never tried before moving to Nashville.
"I had this romantic vision of the guys in the '70s saying, 'I'm bored. Let's have a few beers and write a song,'" Leaphart says, noting that the conventional wisdom in Nashville is different. "The advice that people have for you is, 'You have to co-write.' A lot of times, you'll sit down for two or three hours and get a full song, but you're like, 'Well, I'm probably not going to play this, and he's probably not going to play it either.' It can be a senseless campaign. But even if you don't get a song, you're hanging out and writing and having fun, and I wouldn't have come here if I didn't enjoy writing songs."
Although most of those songs have been caught and released, Leaphart's starting to hone in on the songwriters he enjoys working with most.
In the meantime, he's gearing up to release Low in the Saddle. Long in the Tooth. The album was recorded in August 2012 with producer Mitch Webb at Mantis Studios in North Charleston, just before Leaphart left town.
"I've just been sitting on it, because I didn't want to release something if I wasn't ready to go on the road and support it," he explains. The collection still needs artwork and a final mastering, and Leaphart hopes to release it in early 2014, along with a full band show in Charleston.
Fans of Leaphart's only solo album to date, Lines, Rope, Etc., will be equally pleased with the offerings from his forthcoming disc. Among the tracks are more upbeat, party-minded rockers like "Ludowici" (about a Georgia speed-trap near his father's hometown of Jesup) and "She Took My Best T-Shirt (And Then She Broke My Heart)," which closes the album.
The strongest songs, however, are the slower ones, including the title track and the haunting "Wrong Side of the Wind," a kindred spirit of Ryan Bingham's "The Weary Kind."
In his song "Leaving Lonesome," Leaphart sings the words, "I take stage after stage pushing my songs/ but most nights I might as well be pushing a broom." Although most fans have yet to hear the song, Leaphart wrote it years ago when he was first trying to make a name as a country-rock songwriter in Los Angeles with fellow Charleston musician Luke Cunningham. Still, the lyrics could easily be about his more recent efforts.
But patiently waiting for a nibble in Nashville doesn't discourage Leaphart. He did the same thing when he left L.A. to move to Charleston, a place where he could pick up decent paying gigs any night of the week.
"I called everybody I knew [in Charleston] that first summer and said, 'Hey, I'm coming to town,' and I had a bunch of gigs lined up, but then fall came and the calls became, 'Hey, we're not going to do music on Wednesdays until spring,' " Leaphart recalls.
During that time, he made ends meet by bartending and picking up odd jobs until he'd built his reputation enough to draw crowds to regular shows at the Griffon, Home Team BBQ, and Surf Bar.
"It was almost two years before things really picked up and 'Confederate Roses' got on the radio," says Leaphart; that song is still in rotation on 105.5 The Bridge. "All my connections came about at once."
A year into his latest chapter, Leaphart still feels like he's just getting started. Most importantly, his doctors continue to give him a clean bill of health, and he's content to keep working hard until Nashville opens up to him.
"I wouldn't say I've been dry in Nashville," he says. "At this point, I'm just trying to improve as a songwriter and take that next step, whatever that is. It'd be really easy to write the same song over and over again. I don't want to do that. I'm always trying to take these experiences in my life and just keep finding my voice as a songwriter."

January, 2006
Nervous system injuries comprise a diverse group of disorders that include spinal cord injury (SCI) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) as well as stroke and brain cancer. SCI and TBI disproportionately affect the young, primarily because of motor vehicle accidents and violence, and stroke more commonly strikes older people, but brain tumors can develop at any age, with incidence peaking in children between the ages of 3 and 12 and in adults between 55 and 65.
The common thread among these injuries is the debilitation that typically results, which is often severe and chronic. This is because the central nervous system has such limited capacity to repair itself after an injury—whether the trauma results from a blow to the head or spine, a lack of oxygen to the brain as in stroke, or the invasion of healthy brain tissue by malignant cells. As a result, much of the basic neuroscience research relevant to nervous system injuries focuses on regeneration—that is, finding ways to jump-start the innate repair mechanisms of the brain or spinal cord to achieve some level of functional recovery. In recent years, a growing proportion of this research has focused on spinal cord injury, and 2005 was no exception.
To better understand the dynamics of nerve degeneration and regeneration following a spinal cord injury, Martin Kerschensteiner and colleagues at Harvard used fluorescent dyes and time-lapse imaging to track the death and regrowth of axons in a living mouse for several days post-injury. They found that axons had partially withered within 30 minutes of the injury, and within 6 to 24 hours, many of them attempted to spontaneously regenerate. This initially robust regrowth failed, however, as the axons seemed to lose their ability to navigate in the right direction.1
The sheer complexity of the challenge in healing a severed or crushed spinal cord has demanded innovative strategies to address the central problems in regeneration: first, overcoming the molecules in myelin (the insulating sheath surrounding nerve fibers) that inhibit regeneration, as well as the scar that forms after an injury and physically impedes the reconnection of axons; second, restoring lost myelin from nerve fibers that remain; and third, inducing nerve fibers to grow across and beyond the injury to reestablish nerve connections. Continuing a trend begun in 2004, spinal cord injury researchers are increasingly relying on combined approaches to address multiple parts of the repair problem.
Myelin, which surrounds nerve fibers called axons, plays a complex role after spinal cord injury. It must be restored to axons that remain, yet it contains molecules that discourage axon regeneration. Illustration by Benjamin Reece
One promising combination, reported in the Journal of Neuroscience by an international team of researchers anchored by Damien Pearse at The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, used an enzyme that counteracts inhibitory signals together with two types of nervous system cells to act as structural support and guide nerve fiber regrowth in the right direction.2 This three-pronged strategy achieved significant improvements in several measures of movement ability and motor coordination when tested in adult rats with completely severed spinal cords. Although preliminary, the results provide important direction for researchers developing combined treatment regimens for spinal cord injury in humans, according to the authors.
A second experimental treatment combined stem cells with gene therapy to remyelinate nerve fibers in rats with spinal cord injuries, effectively improving the animals' ability to walk, according to work reported in the Journal of Neuroscience by Scott Whittemore and colleagues.3 The therapy teamed stem cells called glial-restricted precursor cells, which have "committed" to becoming central nervous system support cells, with gene therapy designed to mimic the effects of two types of nerve growth factors.
The combination promoted the growth of myelin and enhanced nerve signal transmission along the resheathed nerve fibers, which corresponded with improved motor function. The study provided the best demonstration to date that boosting myelin growth can lead to functional improvements, according to a statement from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, which funded the research.
Another study, from the biotech firm Biogen Idec, combined an "old" drug with known anti-inflammatory action, methylprednisolone, with an experimental "Nogo blocker," a drug that is being investigated for its ability to block inhibitory signals that restrict nerve growth (via a receptor called Nogo-66).4 Tested in rats with spinal cord injury, the combination had a more pronounced effect on recovery of movement and coordination and on axonal growth than either treatment alone, suggesting that each may work through different mechanisms.
Apart from trying to manipulate molecules that restrict or guide axons on their journey to regrow after an injury, deciphering these molecules continues to be a central emphasis of basic spinal cord research. Much of this work has focused on one or more of the three known myelin-based inhibitors, known as Nogo, MAG, and OMG, as scientists work on elucidating the molecular structures that underlie nerve growth inhibition. Several groups have reported separate findings that are gradually revealing the intricacies of how this cellular machinery works.
Separate teams of Nogo researchers have observed contradictory effects of blocking or deleting the Nogo receptor in laboratory animals. A multisite team anchored by Marc Tessier-Lavigne, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute neuroscientist now at Genentech, reported in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that genetically deleting the Nogo receptor from laboratory animals or cultured cells did not free nerves to regrow.5 Although this study contradicted other findings suggesting that Nogo is responsible for inhibition, it underscored that the receptor is probably not the simple on/off mechanism its name suggests.
In fact, Steven Strittmatter's group at Yale showed just how complex the Nogo receptor is. They reported in a Journal of Neuroscience article that different molecular pathways through the receptor exert different effects.6
Other clues in the Nogo molecular puzzle came from independent teams from Children's Hospital Boston and from Biogen Idec. Reporting separately in Neuron, the teams discovered that a protein variously called TAJ or TROY is an important part of the Nogo receptor complex.7,8 Hunter College's Mary Filbin and colleagues published a study, also in Neuron, in which they identified a pathway in the Nogo receptor that may be where the three known myelin-based inhibitors of axonal regeneration interact.9
New work suggests a fourth major player in nerve growth inhibition.
New work suggests a fourth major player in nerve growth inhibition (in addition to Nogo, MAG, and OMG). A University of Texas–Southwestern team led by Luis Parada reported in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that a molecule known to play a role in guiding axon development in fetuses, ephrin-B3, remains active through life to inhibit nerve fiber outgrowth in myelin and that its inhibitory activity is equivalent to that of the other three families of inhibitors combined.10
Slowly but surely, scientists are making progress in learning how best to harness stem cells, in all their variations, for the goal of spinal cord repair. In 2005, a number of researchers inched toward this goal, including two separate groups at the University of California at Irvine.
Hans Keirstead and colleagues restored myelin in rats with spinal cord injuries and improved their capacity to move around by transplanting glial support cells called oligodendrocytes, which they had successfully developed from human embryonic stem cells grown in culture dishes.11 In research reported in the Journal of Neuroscience, the team saw benefits when the cells were transplanted seven days after the injury, but not when the transplant took place 10 months after the surgery, suggesting an early therapeutic window of opportunity.
The second study, reported in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by Brian Cummings and colleagues, used adult neural stem cells from humans to regenerate myelin and improve mobility in mice with spinal cord injuries.12 When the cells were transplanted nine days after an injury, they developed into oligodendrocytes that restored the insulating myelin sheath around nerve fibers, and the mice showed improved mobility.
Long-awaited results from the large government-funded Women's Health Study found that vitamin E does not protect women from stroke (or heart attack or cancer). The data, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, add important new information to the ongoing debate about the health benefits of vitamin E supplementation, finding no support for recommending the antioxidant as preventative therapy for cardiovascular disease or cancer.13
On the diagnostic side, researchers from Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, found that strokes affecting the right side of the brain are not recognized as frequently as those that strike the left side of the brain.14 Reporting in the Lancet, the team hypothesized that the more subtle symptoms characteristic of right-hemispheric strokes make them more difficult to identify, thus making an effective response a challenge.
The final report of the Glioma Outcomes Project, which studied patterns of care for adults with newly diagnosed gliomas, or glial cell tumors, found that doctors treating patients with these malignant brain tumors are not following published guidelines in a few key areas, including chemotherapy, which is apparently being underused.15 Of particular concern was the finding that 80 percent of patients with cancerous brain growths received anti-epileptic drugs to prevent seizures, for which people with brain tumors are at increased risk. However, these drugs seem to have little value for patients with no history of seizures, and they carry significant side effects. The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, provides benchmark data that will enable clinicians to better plan and assess treatment, the authors wrote.
Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham reported in the Journal of Neuroscience that a drug currently used to treat inflammatory disease can switch off a protective molecular defense mechanism used by gliomas. In preliminary animal studies, the drug, sulfasalazine, which is FDA-approved for inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis, dramatically reduced tumor size when administered by injection into a membrane that lines the walls of the abdomen.16 Meanwhile, a study in rats by Gail Clinton and colleagues at Oregon Health and Science University showed that herstatin, a protein that inhibits enzymes involved in tumor cell proliferation, blocks the growth of glioblastoma, a type of glioma that is particularly aggressive and deadly. The findings, published in Clinical Cancer Research, suggest an avenue of potential therapy for another type of tumor that affects glial cells.17
Despite a 30-year history of use in traumatic brain injury, a group of powerful anti-inflammatory drugs called corticosteroids do not help head injuries, according to results published in the Lancet of a trial involving 10,000 adults with head injury.18 The authors reported that using these drugs following an acute injury actually increases the risk of death within two weeks and makes it more likely that the patient will die or be severely disabled within six months of treatment. In a statement released by the journal, lead author Phil Edwards of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine called for an urgent re-evaluation of the practice of treating head injuries with corticosteroids.
Hundreds of thousands of Americans are paralyzed or have severely limited mobility from injuries or diseases of the nervous system. For many of them, so-called neural prosthetics may represent the only hope for regaining a measure of independence. The idea is to capture nerve signals with electrodes implanted in the brain and translate the signals into movements on a prosthetic limb or a computer mouse, thereby enabling the person to use thought power alone to achieve a task such as grasping food or activating a computer-controlled light switch. A handful of specialized laboratories continue to advance the development of such "brain-machine interfaces."

Miguel Nicolelis and his team at Duke University found that monkeys trained to use their brain signals to control a robotic arm are undergoing structural brain changes that treat the arm as if it were their own appendage. The research, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, has implications for restoring function in paraplegics and others debilitated by neurological disorders.19 Meanwhile, Andrew Schwartz's team at the University of Pittsburgh reported at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science that a monkey outfitted with a robotic prosthesis the size of a child's arm learned to directly control the arm well enough to feed itself chunks of fruits and vegetables.20

PARENTS remember a child running to them breathless and upset. "Mummy, Daddy, Mummy, Daddy, I'm frightened. It's bad." The first thing the parent does is to hug the child and say: "Hush now. It's all right. Mummy and Daddy are here. Stop crying. Breathe in a minute. It's O.K." Safe in your arms, the child breathes in, composes, relaxes and is able to tell you the story.
It is the same with prayer. Many of us burst into the presence of our heavenly Father at one hundred miles an hour, breathless, panicked and wanting to pour out a list of needs. Prayer does not start with asking, but with awe and awareness of God. Prayer does not start with wanting, but with waiting and wondering. Prayer does not start with us, but with God. You cannot breathe out, until your have first breathed in. Spiritual breathing starts with breathing in God's presence. So in this series of sermons on praying, I want to emphasize the significance on firstly appreciating God.
In the Book of Psalms, many written by David, are many Jewish prayers. Special prayers celebrated the beginning and end of the day. The end of the week was heralded by Sabbath services in the home, synagogue and temple. When each year began, at Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur there were special prayers. The great festivals such as Passover, the Feast of Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles were celebrated with prayer. Those prayers were in the context of worshipping God.
Foundational for Jewish prayer were the daily prayers in the home, grace after meals and the frequent spontaneous prayers of the individual. Jewish prayers were not pleas for material possessions or rewards, or magical manipulations of a deity who could be controlled by special deeds or words. The author of Daniel has Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego confess that even if God would not deliver them, He was still their God.Dan 3:16-18. Jews lived out the conviction that God does hear and answer prayers: "Hear, O Lord our God, the voice of our prayers, for you are a gracious and compassionate God. Blessed are you, O Lord, who hears prayer." 15/18 Benedictions David stated: "I love the Lord for He hears my voice, my pleas; for He inclines His ear to me whenever I call." Psalm 116:1
Prayer was a central group activity of the earliest Palestinian Christian community as described in Acts 1:14; 2:42; 4:23-31; 6:4, and it is natural to suppose that these prayers were derived from those used in daily private and synagogue prayer in early Judaism. Many prayers have been preserved in early Christian literature. In the New Testament, prayers of petition and intercession occur frequently. The Jewish "thanksgiving" pattern of prayer, which characteristically began with the phrase "I/we thank you," is frequently found in the NT and early Christian literature. Luke 2:38; Heb 13:15; Rev 11:17-18. This type of prayer is also frequently used in Paul to introduce petitions and intercessions. Rom 1:8; Phil 4:6; Col 4:2; 1 Thess 5:16-18.
Jesus devoted Himself to prayer. We read: "very early in the morning, long before daylight, Jesus got up and left the house. He went out of the town to a lonely place where He prayed" Mark 1:35. He was at prayer frequently on such occasions as: *when He came up out of the baptismal waters. *while He faced temptation in the wilderness. *before He chose the twelve to train as disciples. *after the sending of the seventy believers in mission. *whenever He touched someone to heal them. *at the time of His transfiguration. *as He was approaching His passion in Jerusalem. *while He introduced the last Supper to His disciples. *when He was in Gethsemane preparing for betrayal and death. *while He was being nailed to the Cross in excruciating pain. *as He died His last words were in prayer to His Father. *after His resurrection for those who believed in Him.
At every point of His life, Jesus prayed. One of the few memories of Jesus found outside the Gospels says: "In His life on earth, Jesus made His prayers and requests with loud cries and tears to God who could save Him from death. Because He was devoted and humble, God heard Him. But even though He was God's Son, He learnt through His sufferings to be obedient." Heb. 5:7 The Lord's Prayer was certainly the most widely used of all early Christian prayers. Matt 6:9-13 The great prayer of Jesus John 17 elaborates the Lord's Prayer. The Lord's Prayer exemplified major features of Jewish private prayer such as brevity and addressing God personally, but Jesus added another, "our Father".
The Lord's Prayer soon was the public Christian prayer. Early Christian writers said it was prayed three times daily. It was part of church services in the mid-1st century A.D.. By the mid-4th century it was used before every Lord's Supper. Another brief Aramaic prayer maranatha translated "come Lord Jesus!" Rev 22:20, was expectation of the imminent return of Jesus. We will study many passages in subsequent weeks in detail. But from this brief overview, the secret of a strong spiritual life begins with praying, and praying begins with learning to firstly breathe in, in awareness of God in awe and wonder. When we stop our rushing and be still, think of God instead of ourselves, we can take in of His resources and strength. The Scriptures say: "Be still and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10
1. Spiritual breathing begins with inhaling, bringing within ourselves, the awareness of God. Isaiah reminded his people that if they were only fully aware of God, His nature, presence and power, then everything they did would be different. Isa 40:28-41:1 "Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. "Be silent before me." A true awareness of God results in silent awe.
When you become aware of God, what is in the forefront of your mind, is no longer the crisis or urgent matter that was propelling you into God's presence. Instead, your mind is now focused on God, and His grace and glory. You start to think of God's will, His plans and His passion for the world. You have already become a different person. As a result you go forward no longer relying upon your own strength and power, but you go in the strength of God.
Once visiting our Gateway Children's Home where our child carers are brought some of the most troubled, disturbed, and violent children in Sydney, I wondered at how our staff continued to cope with all the aggravation and stress. Then I noticed what one of our staff, Rosalie, had written and pinned above her desk. I copied down her comments that placed little credit upon their high qualifications but much upon God's:
"We the unwilling, led by the unqualified
Have been doing the unbelievable
For so long and with so little,
That we now attempt the impossible
With nothing but prayer."
The awareness of God enabled them.
2. Spiritual breathing begins with inhaling, bringing within ourselves, the wonder of God. We have to acknowledge our sense of awe and wonder at being in the presence of God. Too many of us want to be too "matey" with God. We rush into His presence as if we have every right, full of ourselves and our needs, with a flippant "Gi'day God".
We have no sense of awe and wonder. When the Apostle John was in exile on the Island of Patmos, he came into the presence of God. Note his response: Rev 1: 12-18 "I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and among the lampstands was someone "like a son of man," dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance. When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades." O the wonder of God, that we should come before Him!
You can sing with Charles Wesley,
"Finish then, Thy new creation,
Pure and spotless may we be;
Let us see our whole salvation
Perfectly secured by Thee:
Changed from glory into glory.
Till in heaven we take our place;
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love and praise."
When we are lost in wonder, love and praise, then we can start to pray!
Prayer does not start with asking, but with awe and awareness of God. Prayer does not start with wanting, but with waiting and wondering. Prayer does not start with us, but with God. You cannot breathe out, until your have first breathed in. Spiritual breathing starts with breathing in God's presence. We are in the right environment to pray when we are aware of God and wonder at His grace.
When King Uzziah died, Isaiah had a vision of God. He became aware of God's wonder. He saw heavenly creatures. The word means "burning ones"; yet they hid their faces from the greater brightness and the glory of the Lord. They were singing: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of His glory." Isaiah became conscious only of his own sin and his need to get right with God. He cried: "Woe to me! I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty." But one of the Heavenly creatures said: "See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for."
To see God, Isaiah needed to be still and think in awe and wonder. To serve God, Isaiah needed to be a clean instrument. It is the God of burning holiness Himself who provides this cleansing. Prayer starts in stillness, with a sense of God's awe and majesty, and of our being cleansed by God. When we accept Jesus as Lord we are lost in awe and wonder, and are cleansed of our sin. Now we are ready to see God, and to serve Him. This is the beginning of all true prayer.

In 2008, Balton CP launched a focused long term initiative with the aim of empowering Africa's small scale farmers with Balton's 3 pillars to successful, sustainable agribusiness: Knowledge, Know-how and high quality inputs and technologies. The philosophy has positioned Balton CP as one of the leading entities in Africa driving a small scale farmers 'agribusiness revolution'. Balton's approach is anchored on the award winning Farmer's Kit, created with the aim of allowing small scale farmers affordable access to modern agricultural technologies, methods and inputs of the highest standard. Designed by the Balton team of experts and anochored on globally recognized and tested technologies, the Balton Farmer's Kit (BFK) is a tailor made Kit designed to meet the needs of the specific farmer or group of farmers by adapting the components of the Kit to suit the climate, terrain, and agricultural experience of the farmer.
Following years of development and hands on experience with African farmers adopting these technologies, The BFK incorporates innovative agricultural technologies including the Family Drip System (FDS), from Netafim, an easy to use gravity based drip irrigation system, a Farmer's Greenhouse and top quality agro-inputs such as Seeds, Fertilizers and Agro-Chemicals.
The BFK comes complete with installation, training and an agro-support package that would allows Balton subisidiaries to teach the "Balton Farmer" how to grow and then stay with the farmer throughout the season to ensure the best results. The BFKs are custom made by Balton CP for individuals and specific groups of farmers and include all the necessary ingredients required for one season's successful harvest of a selected crop.
Balton has taken the 'kit' approach further, developing a wide range of kits suited to the smallest of garden plots or larger tracks of land.

Hug Me Socks
by Terry Morris
This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download
Great for beginner sock knitters, and a good choice for charity or gift knitting.
Hand-dyed, painted and variegated sock yarns are often so colorfully busy that any knitting stitch patterning simply disappears. These special yarns require a more simplistic approach such as the easy knit and purl combination used in these socks. The bonus is that this patterning makes a stretchy sock that wants to hug your leg and foot. Heel construction is the traditional flap & gusset method.

Educated at Marlborough and Kings College Cambridge he began his career as a writer at an early age and was published whilst still studying. As an athlete he represented his country at Figure skating. His career was prodigious and widely acknowledged. Perhaps he is best known for his collection of novels about 'Mapp & Lucia' which have proved very popular through the decades and have crossed over to many a TV Series. He was also well regarded as a writer of ghost stories – 'spook stories' in the then vernacular- as well as biographies. Benson never married and his lifestyle gave rise to much speculation as to his sexual orientation. Benson died in 1940 of throat cancer in University College Hospital, London.

DAP wants automatic registration to be top of poll reform agenda
By Shannon Teoh September 08, 2011
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 8 — The DAP has called for automatic voter registration to be implemented before a general election expected as soon as November after dismissing the Election Commission's (EC) excuses for discrepancies in the electoral roll as "data entry errors."
Lawmakers from the opposition party dismissed today deputy EC chief Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar's explanation for 22 cases of "same-sex marriages" in an army camp in Rasah as isolated cases which were accidentally "overlooked."
"The parliamentary select committee into electoral reforms must make automatic voter registration its number one priority," DAP publicity chief Tony Pua said after claiming over 117 cases of old identity card (IC) holders that have spawned two new IC numbers on the electoral roll.
The Petaling Jaya Utara MP added that "we are talking about thousands of such data entry errors. There is a simple way to eliminate all this and that is to automatically register all voters" when they reach the voting age of 21.
Rasah MP Anthony Loke had also claimed today a dozen more cases where spouses of army personnel in Rembau, Gemas and his own constituency held ICs whose numbers indicated the wrong gender.
He had said on Tuesday that as the IC numbers clearly did not belong to the spouses, their "own IC numbers can still be registered elsewhere and someone can vote twice. It doesn't matter who. The issue is an extra vote can be made."
DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng also said that "they already have the database at the National Registration Department (NRD) and with computers everything can be done very quickly."
"Why doesn't the EC want to implement automatic registration? In the next election Barisan Nasional (BN) will cheat bigger than in the previous one and do anything and everything, including resorting to phantom voters," the Penang chief minister added.
Pua also said that under the Election Act, the EC had the power to decide how the electoral roll was constituted but as it has so far refused to make any changes, Parliament had to amend the law to implement automatic voter registration.
Pakatan Rakyat (PR) has continued to highlight discrepancies in the electoral roll since the July 9 Bersih rally which saw tens of thousands pouring into the capital calling for free and fair elections.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak announced last month a parliamentary select committee to improve the electoral system but the federal opposition has insisted that the prime minister guarantee that the panel's findings be implemented before a general election expected within the year.
PR had previously claimed that over 1,600 foreigners had been given ICs and inserted into the electoral roll before Loke on Tuesday raised the issue of spouses of army officers being given postal voting rights despite irregularities in their IC numbers and birthdates.
He claimed that the 30-odd examples he had produced so far were registered using the IC of the military personnel as nearly all shared the same birth date as their husband or wife.
"We do not even know whether the spouses really exist," the DAP Youth chief said.

I haven't posted about food in a while so I am going to do so now!
I have recently discovered this awesome restaurant called Picadilly in SS14, Millennium Square. It is around the same area as Digital Mall. I think some of you must have heard of it before since it has been gaining a lot of popularity.
I have taken a liking to this restaurant due to its affordable and huge portion of food and also they are pretty delicious too! Besides that, whether you favor western, chinese, malay or indian foods, they have it all here! There is a long list of menu for you to choose from.
Oh, when I said it's affordable, it is really cheap for its portion and place. It costs only RM5.90 for a plate of fried rice. Of course, they have many varieties of fried rice too!
Just take a look at some of the photos below!! See them for yourself! =)
*There is another page too.
Drooling already? xD

Northeastern Gets Planning Approval
Northeastern University has received approval for the NBBJ-designed master plan that outlines ... Read more
Now, more than 15,000 undergraduates call Northeastern home, and a once-patchy campus is rapidly filling in. With explosive growth underway — within a small area bounded by residential neighborhoods, parks, cultural institutions and other universities, and bisected by railroad tracks — the university needed to carefully plan the next 10 to 15 years of expansion.
NBBJ helped Northeastern identify the best sites for new academic, athletic and research facilities, then outlined a plan for phased development. The plan emphasizes connectivity, both physical and pedagogical, to make the campus more cohesive.
Crucially, the process also reached out to the adjacent Roxbury neighborhood. After many public hearings, the planning team and the university arrived at a vision that balanced residents' concerns with the university's need for expansion and continued ability to bring investment to greater Boston.

Surely a sign of spring, amid the daffodils and forsythia, are the re-openings and refurbishings of local businesses dormant during the winter.
Surely a sign of spring, amid the daffodils and forsythia, are the re-openings and refurbishings of local businesses dormant during the winter. The launch of a new season on the Cape, always a hopeful time in a commercial sense, is also a good time to revisit customer service essentials as part of a marketing plan.
The importance of good customer service has been discussed in this space previously, but a couple of recent exceptional experiences, and one not so wonderful, illustrate anew how easy it is to impress or discourage prospective customers.
Considering an on-line clothing purchase, I e-mailed customer service to ask about an average measurement. The prompt, detailed reply provided the measurement I asked for in every size of the garment, more information than I expected and very helpful.
In another on-line customer service inquiry, I asked a different seller about the availability of an item that appeared to be out of stock. The seller, who was also the manufacturer of this leather good, confirmed that the material in question was no longer available, but offered to make me something in a similar material at no extra cost. Did I want a material sample? This was an overseas manufacturer. That type of overture was a first for me. While I didn't buy the item, I haven't forgotten the generous initiative.
Nor have I forgotten the customer service representative of a well-known on-line purveyor who gave me incorrect information that led me to make a purchase. In this case, I asked in advance about a particular feature and was told that the item matched the catalog photo. On opening the package, it was clear that both the reply and photo were incorrect. The photo, in other words, was either of a different item or it had been doctored. When I related my disappointment, to be fair, the seller did not hesitate to refund the full purchase price and all postage costs. Still, avoidable annoyance and a waste of time.
Such experiences – good and bad, all with reputable businesses – inform the opinions of consumers and their willingness to buy from a seller. Generally speaking, small businesses, such as many on the Cape, take a personal approach to selling, often know their regular customers and are mindful of good service. The clerk at a local pet supply store always offers to carry my packages to the car, even when they're not heavy. (And the clerk is a woman and I'm not infirm.)
This is the type of service that larger national companies try to emulate. It should be part of the reason why residents like to buy local and visitors enjoy shopping here. When it comes to customer service, more is more.

First of all, we spent the month of October in Kansas at our little house there in Little River. We went back to check on the farm and on the house. Prior to our arrival - sometime that month before - a terrible hail storm went though the area. Hutchinson, where we lived before moving to Alabama (30 miles south of LR), got it far worse than Little River - hail the size of grapefruits! Nevertheless, we got golf ball size hail, and it totaled the roof, punched holes in the siding on the north end of the house and battered the large awning over the deck on the back of the house to pieces. Thankfully the roof did not leak. While still in Alabama, we had contact with our insurance company and adjusters were sent - several times. So while we were in Kansas, we hoped to make contact with the roofing company and find a siding company as well. One man came from Great Bend and sounded quite enthused and willing to do the siding, but he just never got back with us on a bid. Meanwhile, we contacted another company who had many signs in yards all over town, and he gave us a bid on residing the whole house. Yowza!!! $$$$$ BUT he could side the whole house for about twice what it would cost to do one end which the insurance company was paying for. This would also involve "wrapping" the window frames - more $$$$. Anyway, we agreed to kind of do it in hitches - siding now, windows in the spring. Who knows when the roof will be replaced (which the insurance is going to cover). You have to have temperatures above 50 degrees to roof, so it may not get done until spring.
We also wanted to have the backyard fenced, so that we didn't have to take Annie out on a leash every time - that's a pain! We called one man, who said he was ill (and sounded like it), so he didn't show up at the appointed time. We ended up going with Lowe's. After making all the arrangements, we waited nearly a week for them to call us to come out and get started. I finally called, and they were waiting on us to come pay. Well, it would have been nice to know that! As it turned out, he came out to drive some stakes in the ground the day before we were leaving to come home.
Soooooo.....all that time there, talking with lots of contractors, and not a lick of work actually got done! Shortly after we got home, the fence contractor's office called to ask me to sign off on the fence job, and I told her I didn't even have any proof that it got done! I told her to have the contractor take pictures of the finished job and email them to me, and then I'd sign off on the job. Well, here we are a half a month later and no pictures. I finally called the next door neighbor there to ask her if they got our fence put up, and she said, "No, I just see some posts in the ground on the north side." I guess there is no real hurry since we are not there and won't be until next April. Hopefully when we go back then, we'll have a fenced in backyard, a new roof, and new siding (and awning).
Anyway, we had a great time - just pretty much doing nothing. Jeannine and the girls came back for a long weekend in the middle, and we certainly enjoyed spending time with them. The girls are in a new charter school where they are learning all kinds of crafts along with their regular school work. Here they are playing with clay.
They both learned to "finger knit" which I had never really heard of.
Jeannine said they are also learning to knit with needles they made out of sticks they sanded into round and pointed needles. Since they got into the school after the school year started, Sofia had not learned how to knit with needles, so Grandma gave her a lesson, and she caught on very well.
This was Sunday morning getting ready for church. The girls had on their shirts that I applique embroidered, and the matching skirts I had made. Aren't they so sweet?!?!
Jeannine brought her little rescue dog, Pippin. Boy was he a scrawny thing!! Bless his heart!
He was sleeping in Annie's bed here.
We also had to eat at Jeannine's favorite restaurant - Taco Hut. Gotta love those Sancho dinners!!
The weather was actually pretty nice the whole time there. It was in the upper 60s and low 70s. There were even a couple days where the wind didn't try to blow the hair off your head!
Oh, wait! I forgot! It did snow one of the days we were there!
It snowed enough that the girls made quite a snowman in the backyard. I didn't get a picture of it until the next day where it was warm again, and he was starting to melt. I thought he kind of looked like the Alabama elephant mascot by then. :) Roll Tide Roll!!!!!!!
We went to a Friday night high school football game. That was a trip! A trip back in time! I remember so well playing in the pep band - trying to keep my mouth piece warm on those cold nights. "Loyal and true, we pledge allegiance to you..." Yep, I remembered all the words to the fight song! And it was a cold night that night, too, with a major cold front that moved in. I sat there looking at all the young people who had familiar looks to their faces, but didn't know to whom they belonged. One lady sitting in front of us, Jackie, was a year ahead of me in school. I looked at her, and she looked just like her mother did back then. Her daughter sitting next to her looked like Jackie did back then. And the daughter's son was one of the football players. We skipped a whole generation! Here we were now the grandparents sitting in the stands, and I sat there wondering if I looked just like my mother did back then.....
One thing I really enjoyed while there was going to the day and evening quilt guilds I used to belong to when I lived in Hutchinson. I was a charter member on the Evening Star Quilt Guild, and there was only one other charter member still attending now - my quilt buddy from then - LaRue. I was able to talk with her on the phone and then visit at the meeting. It was great fun seeing some of the day guild members that I knew as well.
I also attended a quilt show in a little town nearby and sitting at the greeters' desk was a nurse I used to work with when I lived in Lyons and worked at the doctors' office. What a great reunion that was!! Here are some quilts from that show. This first one I liked because I have a wall hanging made from the red rose fabric.
This one was about the size of a sheet of paper. Done with that special twist-it ruler.
I like this one because it's Christmas, and it is a row quilt. I've always wanted to make a row quilt.
I liked the kaleidoscoping affect in the center of each block.
This one was a picture quilt, celebrating someone's anniversary I think. It reminded me of the one I made for Mom and Dad's 60th anniversary.
This little wall hanging had a lot of thread painting on it.
I had heard there was possibly a quilt shop in another little nearby town of Alden. I had never been to that town all the years we lived there. But I knew where it was and figured, how hard could it be to find a quilt shop in this tiny town?? Someone said it was across from the café. As I entered the town, I saw a sign to turn left to the café. It turned out that just about the only thing in town was this café and the quilt shop! The shop took up about 4 store fronts and that was just about the length of the downtown part of town! :) They were the friendliest people in there! They had fabric all over the place - from one room to the next to the next. I saw this one quilt in progress on a table, and just had to have that fabric and pattern! It was all about roosters. I thought that would look nice in the house in Little River. So I bought it and sewed it up before leaving to come home. I just have to quilt it now. The tan fabric has a chicken wire design.
Now we're back home and into our normal routine - pretty much. I didn't do any physical therapy while I was in Kansas, although I took a prescription for it with me. I did my exercises faithfully, and gradually, I went from 2 crutches to one, and then none. My foot is healing pretty well, although I still have some tenderness when I walk. BUT the big thing is my knee. That gives me the most trouble when walking.
Before going to Kansas, I went to a doctor for my knee, fully expecting him to tell me I needed a knee replacement, since another doctor had told me 4 years ago that I needed one. However, after looking at the x-rays, he said I did not meet the criteria for a total knee replacement. The inner part of my knee was bone-on-bone, but the outer part appeared to have adequate cartilage. He had me flex and straighten my knee, and then he said, "Most people who need a knee replacement can't straighten their leg out or bend it like you can." Well, the only reason I could do that was all the physical therapy I had been having getting ready for the knee surgery. Also, I had not tried the conservative treatment route first - NSAIDS, cortisone shot, and PT. So I left with the conservative treatment plan. After a month to 2 months on that plan, my knee is no better - maybe even a bit worse. So I returned to him after coming home from Kansas. I told him nothing worked, and I'm still in pain when walking. Was I a candidate for a partial knee replacement? After poking around on the outside of my knee as well as the inside and feeling pain everywhere, he said I wasn't a candidate for a partial knee. My whole knee was involved, so he asked me when I wanted to schedule the total knee replacement surgery. He didn't seem to bat an eye this time. At first I thought I'd wait until the week after Thanksgiving, but then changed to the week before. He told me Guy would HAVE to take a week off to be with me, so I figured it would be easier for him to take off the week of Thanksgiving than the week after. So the surgery is scheduled for Wednesday, the 20th. He will only have to take off Wednesday and Thursday of that week since he has Fridays off anyway.
I had forgotten that Mark had obtained tickets for Guy and I to the Alabama/Chattanooga game the 23rd. RATS! I was SO looking forward to going to that game. I've been wanting to go to an Alabama game for so long. Mark said he'd get more next year and that I should go on and get the surgery over with. I'm a little nervous about this surgery. I didn't really get nervous over the foot surgery, and there was no pain beyond the initial few days after surgery, because it was immobilized for 11 weeks. I know there is going to be pain with the knee, because you have to start moving it right away - and keep moving it. I know you have to work really hard in PT. I can do that - I did it with my foot. I just want it to all be over - and 6 months down the road!
I'll close for now and continue with the rest of the update perhaps tomorrow.

From our perspective, these customer reviews and testimonials tell our story better than we ever could.
Sarasota, FL (PRWEB) August 03, 2013
This newest website is the latest online offering from United Planning Group designed to educate consumers. This exclusive testimonials website, testimonials.unitedplanninggroup.com, will offer important insight and information to the consumers who view it. However, unlike other United Planning Group websites that focus on providing the public with general information regarding the issues associated with setting about to create an estate plan, testimonials.unitedplanninggroup.com places its attention on giving the public an insight into the company itself and the overall United Planning Group customer experience.
The new website gives the public a glimpse of United Planning Group's people and services through the eyes of the company's own customers. Through a series of testimonials and reviews submitted by actual customers of the company, the public can obtain a clearer picture of what types of benefits and what caliber of service they can expect when they retain the services of United Planning Group.
Company President, James K. Boyles, expressed his excitement about the website. "From our perspective, these customer reviews and testimonials tell our story better than we ever could. Like most folks, nothing gives us more satisfaction than hearing a customer say, 'Job well done!' We're pleased with your recent customer survey which yielded a 94% satisfaction rating, but we feel there is still room for improvement. Our goal is to see that number closer to 97%, which we believe is realistic."
"United Planning Group, at its most basic level, is about people… our employees, our representatives and most of all, our family of customers," Boyles added. "With this website, we hope you'll get to know some of these people a little better and get an even deeper understanding for what United Planning Group is all about, which truly is people serving people and their families."
United Planning Group is dedicated to being an industry leader in preserving the wealth and securing the well-being of its customers by providing access to a variety of estate and financial planning strategies.

Australia vs South Africa 2016: 3rd Test Day 2 - 5 talking points
A sensational hundred from Usman Khawaja enabled Australia to dominate a day's play in the series for the first time since Day 1 of the Perth Test. The partnership between Smith and Khawaja laid the foundation for a good batting display against some sharp bowling by the Proteas.
Once Smith departed, Khawaja was ably supported by debutant, Peter Handscomb, who notched up a fifty himself. A flurry of late wickets under lights with the new ball made the Proteas feel better but Australia sit atop in the Test leading by 48 runs as they finished the day on 307/6.
Some good bowling in the last session may have reduced Australia's dominance of the day's play. But that does not in any way take the sheen off a terrific batting display against some probing bowling by the Proteas, Abbott in particular.
Here are the talking points from the day's play at Adelaide:
#5 Abbott's dream spell
Kyle Abbott was certainly South Africa's best bowler at Hobart and on Day 2 at Adelaide, he proved why he is such a destructive bowler to have. He bowled with real intent, inducing edges off debutant Renshaw and the experienced Warner.
At one stage, Abbott's figures read just 9 runs off 10 overs. He found nip and beat the bat quite a few times before finally inducing the edge off Renshaw's bat. If Australia thought he was done, the South African replied with a sharp seaming delivery that nipped a touch away to catch Warner off-guard and edged behind to Elgar for 10.
Abbott continued to bowl superbly throughout the day and finished the day with figures of 35/3 off 22 tidy overs. If Steyn's absence is not felt by the Proteas it is because this man has stepped up admirably.

Most climate and energy studies conclude that the United States will require a substantial transformation of its energy system in order to address pressing economic, environmental, and geopolitical challenges. But the widespread adoption of new energy technologies will also require a societal transformation.
Through its Alternative Energy Future project, the Academy is working to develop a solid understanding of the legal, social, and economic factors that can either inhibit or facilitate transformative change in the U.S. energy system.
The complex issues shaping the energy future demand interdisciplinary analysis and new collaborations among professional communities. To this end, the Alternative Energy Future project brings together representatives from industry, government, academia, and the nonprofit sector. The Academy organizes workshops to foster new research collaborations and to develop agendas for future research.
The Alternative Energy Future project examines the nontechnological barriers to the adoption of new energy technologies and how these barriers might be overcome.
Current project activities focus on two goals:

Yes, the Yankees have acquired future Hall of Famer Ichiro Suzuki from the Seattle Mariners for two minor league pitchers. At 38, Ichiro may not be the hitting machine he once was but with the potent Yankee lineup, if they can get half of what Ichiro used to do, it can be deadly. Ichiro is the perfect man to fill the void left by the injured-speedster Brett Gardner-- a singles hitter with speed is the perfect compliment to the homer-happy Yankee lineup.
Here are some FUN FACTS about Ichiro the Yankee, according to the Elias Sports Bureau:
From Elias: Ichiro Suzuki made his Yankees debut last night against the Mariners after being acquired from Seattle earlier in the day. Ichiro, Derek Jeter, and Alex Rodriguez became the first set of three teammates with at least 2500 career hits to start a game together in over 85 years-since July 13, 1927, to be exact, when Ty Cobb, Eddie Collins, and Zack Wheat started for the Philadelphia Athletics. (Cobb, Eddie Collins, and Tris Speaker were teammates on the 1928 Athletics, but they never started in the same game.)
Ichiro batted eighth for the Yankees on Monday night. He was the leadoff hitter in 1751 of his 1828 starts for the Mariners, and he batted either second or third in his other 77 starts for Seattle.
Ichiro had 2533 hits in 12 seasons with Seattle. That's the third-highest total by any player at the time of his debut for the Yankees, behind only Paul Waner (3151 in 1944) and Ivan Rodriguez (2584 in 2008).
Ichiro recorded 2060 singles for the Mariners. Only one player reached the 2000-single mark for the Yankees: Derek Jeter (2388). The second-highest singles total in team history was 1545 by Bernie Williams.
At the other end of the hit continuum, Ichiro hit 99 home runs for the Mariners. As such, he failed on Monday night to become just the second player in major-league history to hit his 100th career home run in a team debut. Richie Zisk hit career homer number 100 in his first game for the Rangers in their opening game of the 1978 season (against the Yankees).

Welcome to Morgan and Trisha's wedding blog. This will be a space to post key info that you'll need for our wedding (maps, links, party info) as well as a place to share our ideas and inspirations for creating a meaningful wedding and a fun and fulfilling marraige.
Speaking of inspiration, why peacock wedding? Well, it turns out that the location we found for our wedding (thanks to Kira's boyfriend Chris!) is a hundred or so acres of private woodland canyon that has a dozens of peacocks on the property. Since both Morgan and I love peacock colors, it seemed a natural fit. Peacock feathers always make me think of beaux arts and 1930s bohemia, which are also pretty good descriptions of how we like to make our way through life…so…. it just seemed to make sense somehow.
We hope you'll use this blog as a place to keep up to date on the information you need to know about the wedding as it develops. We also hope that you'll use it as a place to share your own thoughts about weddings and inspirations for how to create a beautiful life together (and start that life together with a bang).
Thanks for participating in this journey we're on. Morgan and I feel incredibly blessed to know you and count you among the people who make our life amazing.

Today I had to go get a passport photo taken, as my passport expires in about a week. Although passport photos are notorious for being unflattering, I wanted to at least try to look nice! I went for simple, fresh makeup so I would actually look like myself in the photo.
I first moisturized with my Embryolisse Lait Crème Concentre, and primed my skin with the Clarin's Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch primer. I then started off with my NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in the shade "Siberia", concealed under the eyes with my Bobbi Brown Corrector in "Porcelain Bisque", and concealed any spots or red bits with the Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer in the shade 51. I set everything with my MUFE HD Powder (which I love by the way!).
I used NARS Laguna Bronzer to give my skin a bit of colour. For blush I chose a cream blush by MAC in the shade "Posey". I used my favourite highlighter, "Pearl" Cream Colour Base by MAC on my cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and cupid's bow to give that candlelit glow to my skin.
I used an eyebrow powder by Elf on my brows to fill in any sparse areas. I only use the lighter powder, and not the darker coloured wax that it comes with.
On my eyes I used the lighter shade in the Clinique compact, which is a light champagne colour from Clinique's "Like Mink" eyeshadow duo. As a highlight on my browbone and tear duct, I used MAC's "Shroom". I have a ton of mascaras, but lately I've been favouring my Maybelline Mega Plush Lash mascara, so that's what I chose to use today.
To finish off, I spritzed my face with Urban Decay's De-Slick setting spray. I quite like this stuff! I think I might try the All-Nighter spray next. Finally, on my lips, I used the Korres Lip Butter in the shade "Mango". This seems like a lot of products but it took me less than 10 minutes to apply everything!

By year's end, swimming and sunbathing won't be the only reasons to go to the city beach; people will be enjoying the beauty as well.
City commissioners have given final approval for a $55,000 beach revegetation and dune restoration project that not only will make the 420-foot-wide beach more attractive, but preserve it for future generations.
"When we get through, people will be delighted with what is there," Mayor Sam Waterman said. "It's about time something is done so people enjoy the beach more."
The commission unanimously agreed to pay $13,750, or 25 percent, of the project's total cost. The Florida Department of Natural Resources is paying the balance.
Commissioners in January gave their tentative approval to the project, submitting the plans to the state for approval.
The state approved the plans and agreed to pay 75 percent. The commission on May 7 appropriated its share of the money as a result.
According to Ed Lippman, city director of parks and recreation, plans call for planting rows of sea oats, native grasses and shrubs, erecting dune overwalks and fencing and planting a rock garden. An irrigation system also will be installed.
In addition to providing beauty, Lippman said the project, especially the newly constructed dunes, will help prevent sand from being swept away, thus preserving the beach for future generations.
The plan was developed for the city by Thaddeus Hamilton of the U.S. Soil Conservation Service.
