About Kevin
I have taught private lessons for several years now and I love every moment with my students! I have a real passion for sharing my knowledge and experience with others, both failures and successes. I believe everyone has creative potential, and I believe music is a real universal art form that anyone can tap into if they want. Above all, making and creating music should also be fun!
*** Lesson Details ***
I try to keep my lessons professional but comfortable too. I don't yell at students for messing up or anything like that. I usually have an agenda b
I now also offer lessons online, as well as tutoring in most math areas!
I kindly ask for 24 hour notice whenever possible if a lesson is going to be missed. Generally speaking, if I don't hear from a student and their lesson time passes I will mark the lesson as missed, but I am also usually more than willing to make up the lesson at a later time.
*** Studio Equipment ***
I have a piano keyboard at my home.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I would expect students to have their own instruments as needed, as well as music paper, pencils, etc. I may be able to provide some of those materials on occasion as well as some books/recordings, but will by and large expect students to purchase those for themselves.
*** Specialties ***
I am much more familiar with classical styles and Broadway. My music writing style tends to be somewhere between neo-classical and avant-garde.

Jyotsna Nitika. Cabinet. March 07th , 2017.
When you clean your glass cabinets, it is vital that you take the time to look over your handiwork and check that there are no visible marks from a range of angles.
The biggest benefit of custom cabinetry is that it is yours. The space is designed and built especially for you the options are only limited by your wants and wishes. Stock cabinets are mass produced, pre-assembled, and warehoused prior to purchase. They are essentially off the shelf and are made in a limited number of designs and finishes.
Taking on your own project and installing your own Ikea kitchen cabinets should not be a stressful job. Of course, you may not have any experience or any skills but trust me, you will not be the first person to install their own kitchens. With help from the Kitchen Cabinet Manual Guide you will be given the confidence and right professional help to let you be your own kitchen creator soaking you with that feel good factor we all seek after creating any project with our own bare hands.
When you start considering remodeling, or even updating your bathroom, you may want to consider purchasing custom bathroom cabinets. They are available in many different styles and can really enhance the look of one's bathroom. They can add tremendous worth to the value of your home as well. Even if you're considering selling your home, you may want to purchase and install a custom bathroom cabinet just to increase the value of your home. They may cost a bit to purchase, but when it comes to reselling your home, you more than likely will get the money back that you put into purchasing them.

When I think about 2017, it's dizzying.
At the start of the year we were living in Venice Beach, California. We had moved there in October of 2016 because Andrew had accepted an opportunity to consult with a well known restaurant.
The start of a New Year always offers clarity and Andrew came home one day and said, "I'm not happy." He was working 16-18 hour days between the restaurant in Venice and our restaurant in Costa Mesa. He did not have a chance to enjoy the family and was always go go go. So when he said this to me, I knew what I had to do: PRAY.
There's only so much we as humans can do to "fix" a situation and then there's what only God can do: the impossible.
I prayed for Andrew to have the strength and willpower to have a conversation with his consulting partner about his unhappiness and for a "way out" to organically be offered.
I prayed that we could find a way out of our lease at our Venice Beach apartment – without penalty – although we still had 6 months remaining.
And I prayed for the transition to be smooth and to only happen if it was God's plan.
This is the first time I'm actually writing down what happened and it almost feels like a different lifetime or completely false. But remembering the blessings of His hands only encourages my faith and I hope it encourages yours.
Literally the day after I prayed, Andrew had the conversation with his partner and an opportunity was presented for him to leave and although it was him bowing out, they offered him an unexpected severance package. That evening as I prayed again. I prayed, saying, "As one door closes Father, another will open. I trust you."
At 6am the following morning, I walked out of our bedroom and into the kitchen to find that the door to our apartment was OPEN. The security latch was on, but the door was open. Trembling, I checked to see if Carter was still in his crib, Caden in his pack n play and I woke Andrew up asking if he had opened the door at anytime last night or early morning and he said NO.
My prayer had been answered.
I walked down to the leasing office to let them know of the terrifying – yet amazing- incident/ prayer answering. I had no idea if someone was trying to get in our apartment. But I knew for a fact the door was open and it was time to leave Venice Beach.
Surprisingly and by the grace of God's hands – our apartment was re-rented within 4 days of the incident WITHOUT penalty! So with no sudden plan, we moved on a whim to Andrew's hometown of Fallbrook in San Diego as we digested what just happened and what was in store for our unknown future…
It's now April 2017 and we are in Fallbrook, living at Andrew's parents property and we can EXHALE. We had moved from a place that was slowly sucking the life out of us and stealing our joy. But in a God guided transition we made our way out and we are forever grateful.
Living with my in-laws was a complete blessing and I learned so much about them and about Andrew – that is helps me love him better.
Andrew commuted from San Diego to Costa Mesa, 5 days a week and sometimes bunked up with friends if he was dangerously tired. We are so thankful for those friends.
The months we spent in Fallbrook helped us breathe, reflect, set goals and practice living in complete gratitude. I will always remember that time fondly.
When we opened the coffee shop inside our restaurant we knew it was time to make our way back to Costa Mesa. This would be the start of me working at the restaurant more regularly and offered Andrew the opportunity to be with the boys more.
We looked at many apartments and homes in Irvine but the one and only home we looked at in Costa Mesa, we fell in love with. It was perfect. Scratch that. It IS perfect!
We have lived here since August 2017 and every day I praise God for the many blessings of His hands. We are right up the street from our church and our restaurant! 2017 was a year of closing doors and a year of opened doors. It was chaotic yet manageable. It was imbalanced, shaky, and rocky but the foundation did not crack and we remain strong, hopeful and joyful as we dance our way into 2018. Three of the many things it taught us was: 1) Have continued faith, 2) Help is just a prayer away and, 3) Family is everything.

Washington — Former Secretary of State Colin Powell says his own Republican Party is having "an identity problem".The former Joints Chief of Staff chairperson who twice endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for president tells NBC's Meet the Press that in recent years there's been "a significant shift to the right", and that's produced two losing presidential campaigns.He says the Republicans Party needs to "take a very hard look at itself and understand that the country has changed" demographically, and that if the party doesn't change, "they're going to be in trouble". He also bemoans what he calls "a dark vein of intolerance" in some elements of the party.He describes himself as a moderate but still a Republican.
Romney was a moderate Republican too so why did he not endorse him. Simple, Romney isn't black. Like so many people in SA and US when it comes to politics he puts race above competence. I don't understand why is he still calls himself a Republican after endorsing Obama twice. What's in it for him?
Romney moderate? Where were you during the election boet?
Taking up anarchy as your main economic policy is an interesting way of attempting to win US election.
Republicans are outright crazy and ignorant bloody fools, e.g. McCain, Bolton, Susan Rice, etc...
Republicans must surely have an identity crisis, because democrats have become more conservative than traditional mainstream republicans ever were. The problem now for republicans is if they should become more conservative or to become actually more liberal than the democrats.
Just an afterthought. America hold itself to the world as the democratic ideal (and I actually admire a lot of what America did and what they stood for). However this example of democracy now gives you exactly two choices of conservatism. Both parties have such a stranglehold in US politics that it is virtually impossible for an alternative third party to make any significant impact. The US has no liberal, green, labour, left or socialist party that can carry enough votes. That translate to no real choice and you basically sit with a quasi dictatorship. I sincerely hope America will find its traditional values again.
What do you mean by traditional values? America traditionally has always been a religious, conservative, capitalist two party society since its founding. So neither the democrats nor the republicans are throwing away traditional values as both are, as you say, conservative.
@Russophillia - Yes you right, there are definitely an argument to be made that America traditionally has always been a religious, conservative, capitalist country with a split two party system. However what I see was that a few decades ago the Democrats were more secular, liberal, focussed on human rights, and potentially more excepting to "socialist ideals" of unemployment compensation, free medical service, free education etc. This might just be my perception. Either way, today I look at the two parties and I don't see much of a difference. The two parties where always dominant, but in the past I perceived them to represent both sides of the spectrum, unlike today.
Powell for next PRESIDENT!!!! No colour, just plain sense.
Americans in general have an identiy problem
The centre of american politics has had a firm move to the left over the last few decades so that the far-left is now left of centre and the right is now far right . The paradigm shift is probably effected by the demographic changes , its followed the European trend and you see former liberal democrats now in the conservative right. The swell of democrats and thin GOP which is the result in shift rather than a party identity shift.

Planning Enforcement
Breaches of planning control
Report a breach of planning control:
Please provide your name, address, phone number, email, complaint site address/location, details of what is happening (the breach), how it affects you and the developer's name/address (if known)
Anonymous complaints will not be investigated
The Council will maintain the confidentiality of the complainant at all times.
Planning enforcement deals with breaches of planning control. A breach happens when building works or an activity (development) is carried out which should have had planning permission.
Other types of breach include:
- Changes of use of buildings or land without planning permission
- Non compliance with approved plans or planning conditions
- Illegal advertisements/signs
- Unauthorised works to listed buildings
- Unauthorised works to trees in conservation areas or covered by a Tree Preservation Order
All complaints will be investigated, however the Council cannot take enforcement action just because there is a breach of planning control, it must also be able to demonstrate that the breach results in an unacceptable level of harm to public amenity.
Often unauthorised development can be resolved by the submission of an application.
We would be unlikely to take formal enforcement action against something we would have granted planning permission for in the first place.

Gourmet Pizza World Wollongong, Wollongong Reviews
The staff are great and punctual. Flavor wise, I would say the worst pizzas I've ever had. I think one of the pizzas I ordered were reheated for sure.
Good value. Big range of toppings. Great alternative to Domino's. We often place large orders for work and they're always ready on time
The pork/beef ribs are so Juicy and yummy. The pizzas are different from the ones you can get from Dominos or Pizza Hut.
This place is awesome.
Great pizza and reasonable prices! They have a huge menu with some combinations I have never seen before! Website was easy to use and has the option to customise their pizzas or create your own. The "authentic" base was a bit thinner and crispier than I like, but still yummy. Definitely will be ordering regularly 👍

Before I present
the data from Schmitt and Zipperer's report, however, I want to make clear
that I not only share the skepticism regarding "lies, damn lies, and statistics,"
but I urge it upon the reader. One of the reasons I don't believe any numbers
(on any subject) that issue from the current US government, for example, is
because I know that the figures have been cooked every which way to the Sunday
talk shows on which the Bush administration's flacks will throw them out like
candy in a kindergarten class. It's Statistics 101: the most important backstory
to a set of data is where they come from and why. The best data
always come from widely based (that is, multiply monitored) and (relatively)
disinterested bodies (OECD, UN, EU). Moreover, precisely because anybody can
spin any set of "neutral" figures any which way, the most effective means
to impose intellectual honesty and interpretive coherence on data is to ensure
that they are strictly comparable (same category, same time frame,
and, above all, same criteria) and—this is the point to Disraeli's lies, damn
lies, and statistics—not ripped out of (a, more often than not, ambiguous
and even contradictory) context.
The data that follow are not only comparative but
collected by an organization entrusted by its stakeholders to process the
information objectively and with absolute intellectual detachment, regardless
of the implications. Founded to administer Marshall Plan aid in Europe, the
OECD today doesn't merely group together the West's top 30 economies. Its
analytical and statistical resources are used specifically to scrutinize these
economies (and, increasingly, many others as well, including those of China
and Russia); as such, its diagnostic conclusions on the socioeconomic health
of nations, as a whole and in specific areas, are universally considered incontestable.
I say all this only because the data that follow on Greece are truly appalling
in many ways, and there will be those who will try to deny—or, more probably,
"reinterpret"—them in some form or other. That is a fool's venture. These
data are scandalous exactly because they are unimpeachable.
The numbers
The first thing to
be said here is that there are certain data that the Greek government does
not provide, for obvious reasons. Table 1 in S&Z concerns "household
income inequality," which is determined by what is called the Gini coefficient
(named after the Italian statistician—and, interestingly enough, fascist theorist—Corrado
Gini) and quantified as the Gini Index
(the coefficient expressed as a percentage, that is, multiplied by 100). In
"Whose Fear, Whose Rejection?," I cited
the CIA's definition of the index. Here it is again:
This index measures the degree of inequality in the distribution
of family income in a country. The index is calculated
from the Lorenz curve, in which cumulative family income is plotted
against the number of families arranged from the poorest
to the richest….The more nearly equal a country's income
distribution…the lower its Gini index, e.g., a Scandinavian
country with an index of 25. The more unequal a country's
income distribution…the higher its Gini index, e.g.,
a Sub-Saharan country with an index of 50. If income were
distributed with perfect equality…the index would be
zero; if income were distributed with perfect inequality…the
index would be 100.
But Iceland is the
exception that proves the rule. You don't have to be a macroeconomist to know
that when countries refuse to provide such fundamental data as the Gini coefficient
and/or index have now become, they're covering their backsides. New Zealand
is, of course, notorious; it was there that a newly elected "Labour" government
embarked in 1984 on what has subsequently been called—depending on the point
of view—one of the most "radical," "extreme," or "brutal" neoliberal shreddings
ever undertaken of a preexisting social-democratic state. (Georg Menz, a political
economist at the University of London, has described it as "making Thatcher
look timid.") Within six years, unemployment almost tripled, reaching 11 percent,
and the economy actually shrank by 1 percent (while, in the same period,
total growth across the OECD countries rose by nearly 20 percent); within
10 years, 20 percent of New Zealand was living below the poverty line and
UNICEF reported that the country had the third highest youth suicide rate
in the world. A year earlier, a report by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation in
the UK, Income and Wealth, found that the only comparably industrialized
nation in which the gap between rich and poor had increased faster than in
Thatcherite Britain in the previous decade and a half had been New Zealand.
By 1999, the bottom 80 percent of New
Zealand's households had suffered a net reduction in their share of total
national income, while the top 10 percent had increased their share by 15
percent and the top 5 percent saw an almost 25-percent increase in income
(shades of Bush's America). Tellingly, however, New Zealand's ranking in the
OECD fell, from ninth in 1970 to nineteenth almost 30 years later.
(By 2004, it had fallen another couple of places, to number 21—just ahead
of Greece.) So much for trickle-down globalization.
New Zealand is important because of the sheer perversity
of its "left-wing" government during the Eighties. It anticipated by more
than a decade the evolutionary adaptation of Old Thatcherism as it transmogrified
into New Labour under Tony Blair's pitiless tutelage. It is thus not merely
a cautionary tale, but a representative one, veering only from the general
direction of "progressive" politics in the West during the last quarter of
a century in the extreme degree of its unapologetic deformation of social
democracy into social Darwinism.
As I said above, Greece doesn't calculate a Gini
coefficient to track income (broadly, social) inequality. (Neither does Portugal,
another country marked by the rhetorical socialism of its recent past). The
government also doesn't compute the country's poverty rate. It is possible
to get a Gini Index for Greece, however, if one goes to the UNDP's most recent
Human Development Index. The figure is 35.4, which means that the coefficient
is 0.35. On the basis of the rest of the data presented by S&Z
in Table 1, that puts Greece in the very bottom rank of Western social inequality,
just below Portugal (whose Gini coefficient of 0.38 I also took from the HDI)
and tied with the UK for the worst records in the European Union, and behind
only the US and Mexico for worst of all (the latter at a breathtaking 0.49).
Interestingly enough (but unsurprising), the four formerly communist societies
in the survey (the Czech republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia) all had
lower income inequality than Greece.
Sadly, this massive
social failure is verified by another set of data. In S&Z's Table
11, "Income mobility 1993-1995," which measures "percent of low-income families
exiting low-income status each year," Greece's percentage of 38.8 was the
lowest of all 15 pre-enlargement EU member-states, with the exception, again,
of Portugal (with 37 percent). Admittedly, this table has many gaps (as well
as, obviously, the problem of data that are roughly a decade old). The gaps,
however, primarily concern the former communist states and, expectedly, the
Nordic nations. In regard to the latter, I may be naïve, but, somehow, I can't
imagine that societies such as those of Finland, Norway, Sweden, and, yes,
Iceland would be less socially mobile than Portugal or Greece, especially
when the data do show Nordic Denmark having the highest social mobility, with
an extraordinary 60.4 percent of Danes exiting low-income status annually
from 1993 to 1995.
More to the point
for Greece, what is particularly striking in these data is the disparity between
its own social stratification and those much more dynamic western European
societies that, just a generation ago, were generally considered to be as—or
even more—underdeveloped. Spain's mobility from lower to higher incomes is
an impressive 49.6 percent, while Ireland's is a jaw-dropping 54.6 (Celtic
Tiger, indeed). But even Italy, despite the last three decades of civil (and,
for many years, armed) struggle, massive institutional corruption, secessionist
movements, and Silvio Berlusconi—all of which have taken an enormous cumulative
toll on Italian social order (and progress)—is marginally more mobile, with
40.6 percent of Italians moving out of low incomes annually.
The issue of skill
sets is underlined by related data. Again, removing formerly communist Europe from consideration
leaves Greece third from the bottom in the category of 20-to-24-year-olds
not in education and not employed, with a depressing 22 percent of young people
in that category. Only Italy (24.3 percent) and Mexico (26.6 percent) register
worse figures. It is noteworthy that the corresponding figure for Ireland,
10.8 percent, is less than half of Greece's; even Portugal comes in at only
12 percent for this critical segment of the population. Furthermore, at the
top range of twenty-somethings (25-to-29-year-olds) who are neither in education
nor employment, Greece has an even worse record than Italy (25.2 to 24.8 percent,
respectively) and is only "outdone" by Mexico, with 30.6 percent.
And what does all of this youth dysfunction entail
for a society as a whole? S&V's Table 4 provides the shocking answer.
In the category, "Variation in mathematics performance among 15-year-olds,
2003," which tabulates the results of an international standardized test in
math, the land that invented the word "mathematics" came in second to last
after Mexico in all three categories of grading: tenth percentile, mean, and
ninetieth percentile. Just to take the third group, with the best results,
Greece scored 566, ahead of Mexico's 497. The top score was Belgium's 664,
virtually 100 points higher than Greece, followed by Japan's 660 and the Netherlands'
657. As to why Greek schoolchildren are so behind in math, another series
of data answers that question.
S&Z's Table 6 measures "Average annual
educational expenditures as share of GDP" (2002). The ranking is gruesome:
Greece's 2.7 percent is dead last in total (public and
private) spending for primary and secondary education, even behind the formerly
communist countries and Mexico (which, at 4.1 percent, actually spends 50
percent more of its GDP on its schoolchildren than Greeks do). Of course,
when it comes to the tertiary level, Greece's 1.2 percent of public spending
is surpassed only by Switzerland (1.4 percent) and—no surprise here—the Nordic
countries (Norway, 1.4; Sweden, 1.6; Finland, 1.7; and Denmark, 1.9). But
that's exactly the point—and Greece's enormous educational (and social) problem:
because the rest of the developed world spends so much more money on primary
and secondary education, it need not spend so much on the highest level, as
the necessary preparatory work for university education has already been done.
But there's another issue here. When measured by actual per-student expenditures
in US dollars (at purchasing power parity [PPP] rates of exchange), Greece's
$4,731 for each university student is, again, dead last. In addition, Greek
expenditures of $3,803 per primary-school pupil and $4,058 per secondary-school
student are the lowest among Western countries, with the by-now standard exception
of the formerly communist ones and Mexico. Just as an example, even Portugal
spends $4,940 for each primary-school pupil and a substantial $6,921 for each
of its secondary-school students.
With the exception of the four-year Koskotas- and
Dêmêtra-determined interregnum beginning in 1989 and leading directly into
the Mitsotakis government defeated in 1993, PASOK ruled Greece from 1981 until
2004. That's a long time, essentially a generation. During that period, PASOK
won five separate elections. It is impossible, therefore, not to conclude
that if the social structure of Greece in 2006 is unusually exclusionary and
regressive by Western standards, much, if not all, of the fault must inevitably
fall on the party that governed the country for most of the preceding quarter
of a century.
There's no reason to belabor the obvious. I will
only stress four points in closing for ongoing reflection.
1. Greece is a tiny, European country of
11 million. It is one thing, in other words, for a South American nation with
a population ten times that of Greece, such as Mexico (whose 70-year, one-party
rule, furthermore, was only ended in 2000 by the conservative Vicente Fox)
to suffer structural social inequality. It is quite another for contemporary
Greece to follow the same downward decline (if not yet equal terminal descent).
It is also confounding (to say the least) that Greece should have almost the
same rate of social exclusion as the US at a time in which Greece was governed
by a rhetorically Marxian socialism, while the US was at the mercy of a bipartisan
neoliberalism, some of whose most unforgiving acts of social cleansing, such
as "welfare reform," were perpetrated by Democrats. So, while the Megaro Maximou
was inhabited by Andreas Papandreou and Kôstas Sêmitês during the time that
Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush were in
the White House, the difference in elemental social policy was nugatory.
2. It is incredible that with a labor force of a
mere 4.86 million (according to the Hellenic Center for Development), 25 years
of "socialist" government could not add the roughly 500,000 jobs needed to
wipe out unemployment entirely. This is especially bizarre given that, during
this time, Greece (fortunately) welcomed about one million immigrants to the
country. Have immigrants "stolen" Greek jobs? In some cases, undoubtedly, but—in any fundamental, qualitative sense—hardly.
The truth is, Greece's governments have not been able to foster the economic
or social climate for creating jobs of long-term value, either to the jobholder
or the society at large. This, of course, is a critical reason for the multiple
debility of current labor policy in Greece, including the obscenely high rate
of both unemployment and income immobility, as well as the inexcusably low
ratio of population-to-employment. (On the latter issue, it is mind-boggling
that Mexico has a larger part of its 107 million people working than Greece
has of its 11 million people!)
3. In Greece, however, one can always rest assured
that the right is even stupider than the left. Consequently, for example,
we see playing out before us at the moment the issue of the privatization
of the country's higher education, or, more precisely, the entry into the
educational "market" (the terms used betray the idiocy of the "debate") of
private institutions—as if that is the major problem facing Greek higher education
today, let alone education as a whole. It apparently hasn't dawned on anyone
that private secondary education by the bucketfuls hasn't been particularly
helpful when it comes to math scores—although it's consistently served its
basic purpose in Greece (as in most of the world), which, of course, is social
advantage. In the event, this whole spectacle of fly-by-night American and
British "universities" (degree mills is more like it) operating in Greece
would be hysterical were it not so tragic for the consequences it will bring
in its wake. Any modern society that spends as little as Greece does on primary
and secondary education has a collective death wish. Nobody has yet explained
how "private" university education is going to undo the damage resulting from
the fact that Greece spends (at PPP exchange rates) $3,803 per pupil in primary
school, while, just to give some examples, Germany spends $4,537, Spain $4,592,
Portugal $4,940, France $5,033, and Denmark $7,727. And why will more "choice"
(another moronic buzzword) in higher education matter if the resources in
secondary education are so limited that the student is ill prepared in any
case for viable, and substantive, university instruction? (Greek spending
per student in secondary school is $4,058, as opposed to $6,010 for Spain, $6,921
for Portugal, $7,025 for Germany, $8,003 for Denmark, and $8,472 for France.)
There are a multitude of problems with higher education in Greece (as with
education generally), and there is a significant role for private capital
in university education—including public education—but the totally
disorienting disputes raging today are just a continuation of the country's
decades-old educational "wars" that have done so much to poison the educational
environment and, more important, the education of Greek youth.
4. Finally, I will end on a personal note. Recently,
I had a medical emergency in Greece, which, fortunately, ended up quite well
(and with me very impressed by the proficiency and sheer abilities of Greek
doctors). I was lucky, however, in the sense that when things initially took
a very bad turn at the local hospital in which I found myself in Karystos,
a friend immediately got on her cellphone and called her brother-in-law, who
just happened to be chief of a major unit in one of the best private hospitals
in Athens (i.e., the country). Although I was in pretty serious pain, my wife
and our friends managed to get me on a ferryboat, which was met by a taxi
in Rafina, which got me to the hospital, near the Olympic Stadium. Five days,
a battery of tests, and a pretty major intervention later, I left, fit as
a fiddle. All's well that ends well—except for one thing.
If our friend (and her partner) hadn't been there,
and if her brother-in-law wasn't a senior physician at the only hospital in
Greece affiliated with Harvard Medical International, the results might have
been decidedly different, and infinitely worse. Frankly, I'd rather not think
about it. Suffice it to say that when my wife rushed me to the local "hospital"
in Karystos, I was told by the supervising doctor that the x-ray machine was
not operable (because there was nobody to operate it), an ambulance could
not be spared to take me to another hospital on the mainland (although it
wasn't apparent why on that very slow Sunday), and that, generally—and with
a tone of increasing exasperation—there was nothing anyone could do for me.
Luckily, a young, long-haired intern, doing his agrôtiko (rural service)—to
whom I will be forever grateful—had immediately put me on an IV and administered
the initial injections of painkillers, muscle relaxants, and antibiotics.
Even more luckily, I had my wife, our friends, and—this is where the privatization
of primary Greek social services has led—my American Express card. PASOK's
partisans never stop boasting about the radical social difference their party's
20-plus years in power has made to the Greek people. They're right about that.
As my wife and I were leaving that impressive private medical center on Kêfisias
Avenue, near the Olympic Stadium, on the day I signed out, having just put
the entire tab on my Gold Card, I could have sworn I was back in the States.

Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1999 08:49:30 -1000 From: Patrick Rorie (email@example.com> Subject: Kuli'ou'ou Ridge... Pau Hana
As mentioned in the previous post "Pau Hana Hike Summary", I took off for east Honolulu after work this past Friday, April 23, bound for the state DLNR Kuli'ou'ou Ridge Trail.
Turned left off of Kalanianaole Hwy onto Kuli'ou'ou Road and drove deep into the valley parking at the end of Kala'au Place. At 4:44 p.m. I put on my backpack weighing 36 pounds and continued on foot entering the Kuli'ou'ou forest reserve on a wide trail. I felt good, the weight was considerably less than what I had hauled around on the recent Ka'aha/Halape trip, and I plan on going as light as possible for the Ainapo trip.
Turned right and up at a junction, and methodically worked my way along the switchbacks toward the crest of the ridge. While on the switchbacks it occurred to me that doing Kuli'ou'ou Ridge wasn't as good a preparation hike for the Ainapo Trail as I thought. Ainapo goes straight up to the summit cabin, meanwhile I was gaining elevation via switchbacks which isn't the same. Oh well. I concluded that the hike would be a good workout anyway.
Gained the ridge line and further ahead paused at the covered picnic tables for a breather. I could feel my heart beating rapidly, my shirt damp with perspiration. Desiring to make good time, I pressed on passing through an impressive Norfolk island pine grove and enduring two serious climbs. Emerged from the woods and caught sight of the Ko'olau summit crest. After ascending a set of black erosion barriers, I accomplished the final climb and reached the Ko'olau summit at the top of an eroded hill (elev. 2,028 ft) at 5:39 p.m. (only five minutes slower than my normal day hike time).
The cooling trade winds brought relief but also the smells of the cows below in Waimanalo! Sat down to catch my breath on the Honolulu side of the hill which is protected from the wind then took off my pack. A few minutes later I stood up and returned to the top to enjoy the excellent views of windward Oahu including the Mokulua Islands, Kaiwa Ridge, Waimanalo, and Rabbit Island. Turned around and recognized Koko Crater, Koko Head, Maunalua Bay and Leahi. Studied the eroded slopes of Pu'u o'Kona to the northwest, a place of true horror for Wing Ng.
It started to get chilly so I commenced the downward leg at 6 p.m. and literally cruised down the ridge allowing gravity to do most of the work. A short distance below the covered picnic tables, I encountered a bicyclist and informed him of a trail which descends to the right (as one faces mauka) of the structure. He thanked me and we went in opposite directions.
Approached the pat-mobile at 6:52 p.m. and took off for home soon after.
Notes: I'm not sure if anyone noticed but there were plenty of "wuss" hikes in the "Pau Hana Hike Summary" write-up. There is no shame in submitting a hike to OHE-L no matter how short or "wimpy". Furthermore, the write-up does not need to be of pulitzer prize winning quality. One person told me that he thinks Professor Turner grades each submitted post. This is simply not the truth. If you went hiking this past weekend, tell us about it!

CLEARWATER, Fla., Sept. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Robotic Parking Systems Inc., a Pinellas Park, Florida based company, announced the successful throughput testing of its recently completed 2,350 capacity Al Jahra Court Automatic Parking System in Kuwait. TÜV Nord certified a peak traffic throughput capacity of 425 cars per hour. Throughput capacity is the total number of cars per hour that can be handled in a combination of inbound and outbound vehicle traffic. Additionally, the average retrieval time for a single vehicle was verified as 177 seconds.
"The peak traffic throughput measurement is much more critical in the day to day operations of an automated garage than a single vehicle retrieval time. No other manufacturer in the automatic parking industry has this level of performance verification by an independent third party. We met and exceeded the contractual performance requirements of 400 cars per hour throughput and single retrieval time of 220 seconds," said Royce Monteverdi, CEO of Robotic Parking Systems Inc.
With this record, Robotic Parking Systems has positioned itself not only as the largest automatic parking facility in the world but also as the manufacturer with the highest peak traffic capacity worldwide. The Al Jahra Court facility surpasses the Emirates Financial Tower garage in Dubai (designed and manufactured by Robotic Parking Systems) that achieved the Guinness World Record as the largest automatic garage with 1,200 parking spaces in 2011.
Juergen Bauer, Chairman of Robotic Parking Systems Inc., emphasized, "Robotic Parking Systems has demonstrated the viability of its patented lift-and-run system over and over again. Today, with more than 5,000 units built, the company is the strongest market participant in the Western Hemisphere and perfectly positioned for the North American market. With its latest adaptation to emerging technologies – CASE: Connectivity, Autonomous Driving, Sharing and Services and Electrification – Robotic Parking Systems is well aligned with Smart City applications."
