Symphonic Prog • Netherlands
From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website
This top notch Dutch band from The Hague had their pinnacle during the early Seventies when they delivered some outstanding 24 carat symphonic rock albums. EARTH AND FIRE was founded by the twin brothers Chris (guitar) and Gerard (keyboards) Koerts in '68. Soon bass player Hans Ziech, drummer Kees Kalis and singer Lisette joined them. Unfortunately Lisette had to give up singing because of a serious eye-disease and Kees Kalis left. They were replaced by Ton v/d Kley and the beautiful, very sexy Jerney Kaagman. She was a discovery by GOLDEN EARRING singer Barry Hay, they knew each other from the blossoming rock scene in The Hague.
When EARTH AND FIRE had a hugh success with three Sixties poprock oriented singles "Seasons", "Ruby is the one" and "Wild and exciting" (in '70 all reached the Dutch Top 5), the band decided to become professionals. Gerard Koerts bought a Mellotron, this instrument changed the Dutch progrock history because EARTH AND FIRE used it for a more lush symphonic keyboard sound. Eventually they developed a very unique progrock style (a bit similar to the French progrock band SANDROSE and UK band JULIAN'S TREATMENT featuring lots of organ, Mellotron, strong and sensitive electric guitar and distinctive vocals from Jerney Kaagman. And EARTH & FIRE remained successful with their single releases, the Mellotron drenched "Storm and Thunder" ('72, #6), "Memories" ('72, #1), "Maybe Tomorrow, Maybe Tonight" ('73, #3) and "Love of Life" ('74, #2) all reached the Dutch Top 10. Also the albums in that era sold very well and gained worldwide recognition: "Songs of the Marching Children" ('71, reaching #12), "Atlantis" ('73, reaching #6) and "To the World of the Future" ('75, reaching #7) are considered as 'progrock classics', especially in Japan EARTH & FIRE is even more popular than FOCUS! Gradually their sound turned into more poppy, culminating into the success of the very commercial song Weekend, reaching #1 and remaining 13 weeks in the charts! Also the following albums "Gate to Infinity" ('77), Reality Fills Fantasy" ('79, reaching #2)), "Andromeda Girl" ('81, reaching #12)) and "In a State of Flux" "82) lost most of the symhonic ingredients.
The albums "Song of the Marching Children" and "Atlantis" belong to the best of the Dutch progrock history. The epic title tracks from both albums (between 16 and 19 minutes) are recommended: the sound is very warm and melodic with lots of changing atmospheres, accelerations and surprising breaks. The one moment you hear a mellow organ, twanging acoustic guitars and a fairy-like voice from Jerney, the other moment there are bombastic eruptions with majestic Mellotron, heavy floods of organ and some fiery electric guitar work, topped by the powerful voice of Jerney. By the way, she has been married for almost 30 years with Bert Ruiter, former bass player from FOCUS...!

Journey to Atlantis, a great journey for me. It's very surprising the evaluation for the album "Atlantis" would not be so high and decent as I've expected, even though it was released just after Earth And Fire's masterpiece "Song Of The Marching Children". Surely the longest titled track (upon the entire A Side) plays the role of the signboard of this creation with colourful passions and appearances (hard rock, folk, symphonic, psychedelic, and so on). The first melodic attack along with Chris' crying guitar plays would absorb the audience conspicuously. Sounds like Japanese Enka flooded with emotional, tragic texture ... it might be a tad rare a suite gets started with such a strict sadness of melody lines. As the suite goes ahead, the guitar essays will explode more and more emotionally. Jerney's voices are not so perfect but our heart would get attracted deeply, especially in the part "Destruction" drenched in fruitful soundscape. Who cannot appreciate this suite eh?
On the other side ... a couple of melodic gems are upon the B Side really, let's listen. "Maybe Tomorrow, Maybe Tonight" is one of the most popular, most acceptable songs of all upon their career. Gerard's keyboard / mellotron play is crazy delightful and drives other instruments / voices more and more of uptempo. In the last phase of "Fanfare" following a psychic sound drama "Interlude", some mysterious, sorrowful phrases drag the audience into the Earth like Classical polyphony or canon (obviously the Baroque scene had exerted much influence upon their creativity). Jerney's fragile but enthusiastic voices give definite power to us in solitude. "Theme From Atlantis" sounds like another excerpt of the magnificent A-Side suite but mystic rites not heard before should be there definitely. The epilogue of this album "Love, Please Close The Door" quite suitable for the suite finale might feature solemn "down-to-the earth" I suppose.
For me this Symphonic Progressive Crystal can be called as one of cornerstones, like the previous masterpiece of Earth And Fire.

Anyways, this is basically where progheads jump off the boat as far as Earth & Fire is concerned. They're now a pop/disco act, and I can't deny the disco influence, but in all fairness, side one isn't all that bad. There's that disco element that's sure to scare off progheads, but I'm actually surprise of the proggy approach of much of this side. As a matter of fact, I don't find it any worse than the title track of To the World of the Future, which itself is an odd disco/prog hybrid. Right in between "Recognition?" and "A Princess in Egypt" is a bit of a shot experimental bit. There is also some small amount of Mellotron, but since real strings are used on the album, it's little surprise tron is used so little on this album (but surprisingly, their next three albums, Reality Fills Fantasy, Andromeda Girl and In State of Flux still uses the Mellotron, albums you'd think they'd completely abandoned that keyboard). I actually love side one, might not be quite on the level of Song of the Marching Children or Atlantis, but what is? Side two justifies the reason so many people dislike this album. "78th Avenue" (did Jerney Kaagman have trouble saying "seventy eighth", so she ended up saying "seven eighth"?) is a disco-funk type of song that was released as a single. Not too bad, but I doubt progheads will have much patience for it. "Smile" and "Green Park Station" are just plain awful, the former a cheesy ballad, the latter a lame disco number about a station in the London Underground. "Dizzy Raptures" isn't too bad (which isn't instrumental despite the album credits saying it is), and I thought the closing song, "Driftin'" was rather good, in that similar spirit to "The Last Seagull", but with vocals. I swear I hear Mellotron on this one, but given the album is full of real strings, it's hard telling (most of the rest of the album at least they don't hide it's real strings). One of those albums to get on the cheap. I should know, I got mine for cheap. Following albums, of course are worse. Three stars because side one is actually pretty good, as well as "Driftin'".

Not only did they kept their excellent symphonic style of their sophomore effort, but Earth & Fire decided also to exhibit the same structure considering the pieces on the album, so ''Atlantis'' opens with the eponymous sidelong track, which sounds a tad less dramatic than ''Song for the marching children'', but its equally good in terms of musicianship.First and foremost Gerard Koerts' powerful KING CRIMSON-ian Mellotron strings are on full display and Chris Koerts's slightly raw yet melodic guitar solos carry the symphonic vibe all the way in a track, that also contains lots of light organ themes, certain Classical influences and Jerney Kaagman's unique vocals.16 minutes of intense Progressive Rock, great composition in the tradition of Classical Music, featuring thematic changes and variations and a nice atmospheric depth.The rest of the way is a bit more conventional with slight Psych-Pop elements sneaking in between the orchestral moments.The keyboard work now sounds somewhere along the lines of THE MOODY BLUES and EKSEPTION, featuring plenty of Classical-spiced organs and more dramatic Mellotron parts, like on the great ''Fanfare'', the element that was rather discreet in the sidelong piece.At this point they also remind me of FOCUS, the two bands shared the same taste for ethereal Symphonic Rock and grandiose keyboard orchestrations with electroacoustic changes and instrumental pomposity.
Beautiful work.I can't really say its on par with the previous album, ''Song of the marching children'' sounds more of a complete work, but ''Atlantis'' is also a strong and melodramatic Progressive Rock effort.Especially if this one pops out as your first experience of Earth & Fire's music, you'll love it.Strongly recommended...3.5 stars.

Review by progpig66 (arnold)
Song Of The Marching Children is their number one masterpiece, which is filled with a brooding gothic atmosphere. Apart from the first two songs and the instrumental "In The Mountains"(can't have been in Holland), all songs carry the same dark atmosphere. "Storm & Thunder" (a true symphonic rock single, that topped the charts!!) is one of the many highlights. I have the Esoteric Record version and that has the original single version as one of the bonus tracks. This edition also provides the best mastering.
Title suite "Song Of The Marching Children" is an oasis of mellotron sounds, that will also appeal to those who loved "In The Court Of The Crimson King". A sombre and depressing march ends this true symphonic epic.
A must in the collection for all those into early mellotron dominated symphonic rock ! As you will see at the end of the rating line, this album was (again) not appreciated by the proggophobic clan of daemacho, waeguk, purplefloydfish, marfish and other sad persons, who all at the same time decided to reward this album with their two star ratings. Again, we wonder: why?????

Despite the years I've been listening Symphonic Prog, never played special attention to EARTH & FIRE, mainly because the reviews I read spoke about a strong KING CRIMSON influence, and to be honest that's not my cup of tea. But about a year bought several old albums for a very good price, among which I found Song of the Marching Children, which I recorded in my cellular and didn't listened.
Last month I was in a plane and while playing with the phone, found this album and played it...What a great surprise, the sound was simply delightful from start to end, the delicate fusion between Psychedelia and Classic Symphonic caught me from the start. Of course the organ sections by Gerard Koerts impressed me, but the highlight of the album lies in the composition and the delicate voice of Jerney Kaagman.
To be honest I couldn't find any KING CRIMSON reference (thanks God for that), but a slightly JEFFERSON AIRPLANE with Baroque fugues and that acid Hammond so reminiscent of the mid 60's, just a perfect combination of the best of two decades.
The whole album is impressive, but if I have to select my favorites, will start with the magnificent Carnival of the Animals, a song that represents perfectly the essence of the band, being that the music is oriented towards Symphonic while Gerard Koerts with his Hammond and Kaagman take us back to 1965 with such delicacy that I couldn't find any collision of genres.
Also have to mention Ebbtide and that haunting Hammond intro that reminds the listener of Bach. But about the mark of 2:29, Kaagman takes the lead and transports us again to the 60's in Carnaby Street? Baroque and Psyche perfectly blended.
Of course, no review of this album would be complete without mentioning the 18:20 minutes Song for the Marching Children, a brilliant suite that has everything a Prog listener wants to listen, but also the moment in which Jerney Kaagman discovers she's not only a Psych singer with hints of Grace Slick and Mama Cass, but also a fantastic Symphonic vocalist with one of the most solid voices I ever heard.
The rating is easy, 5 solid stars for an almost perfect album.

This time beginning with a side long piece, `Atlantis' is full of imperial sounding guitar and constantly reprised Mellotron themes, jazzy and upbeat sunshine folk, Genesis-like reflective flute and skipping organ, hazy ragged psychedelic pop and grand orchestral arrangements. Lovely Jerney sounds so confident and varied on this! But although certainly ambitious, the piece sounds like a bunch of fragments joined together with no real cohesion or purpose. All those fragments individually sound fine, but it's more like an unsuccessful attempt to recreate what they did so well on the long title track from the previous album. It also has a total dud ending, with no big work up to a suitably powerful climax that the piece really needed.
Despite lovely thick organ, funky wah-wah guitar and a stomping drumbeat, I don't have much love for `Maybe Tomorrow, Maybe Tonight'. I find the chorus extremely cheesy, so it's lucky there's some nice instrumental moments in the brief Brian May/Queen inspired guitar solo in the middle and a little Mellotron in the finale. Not my favourite of their poppier pieces, and I usually really dig those.
Better is `Interlude', a loving restrained and tasteful Mellotron breeze with gentle Pink Floyd-like guitar touches. Truly wonderful! `Fanfare' fades in from this piece with slightly threatening Rick Wright styled organ and downbeat bass, a ghostly and serious vocal from Jerney calling from the background. Slow and heavy commanding guitar riffs punch through the dreamy and sinister Mellotron fuelled atmosphere. There's mucky circus trumpets and snapping percussion similar to King Crimson's `Lizard' on this one too!
The Koerts brothers provide us with another terrific (but far too short!) instrumental in the brooding and dramatic `Theme From Atlantis', full of regal churning heavy guitar melodies. The album wraps on the pretty `Love, Please Close The Door' which alternates between Crimson `Cadence and Cascade'-like dreamy ballad and quirky upbeat diversions. It kind of awkwardly hangs together, but the placid classical acoustic guitar and affectionate vocal from Jerney disguise what is a rather messy and strung-together piece.
My LP copy is actually called `Maybe Tomorrow, Maybe Tonight' and confusingly swaps the first and second sides! The fact that this version is named after the catchy single from the album suggests the record company was really pushing the album based on the hopeful success of that piece! I wonder if it worked?
Although not as good as the previous two albums or the next one `To The World Of The Future', `Atlantis' is still a solid progressive album by a wonderful band. By all means add this one to your collection after those other three, and you'll still have a good quality work that compliments them well, even if it lacks a little of the true Earth and Fire magic.
Three stars nonetheless!

`Carnival of Animals' sounds the closest to the previous album, with that same thick organ and a prancing 60's melody. Jerney plays the fairytale princess here, with circus-like melodies and nonsense `Alice In Wonderland' style lyrics reminding again of the Jefferson Airplane comparisons from that wonderful debut.
`Ebb Tide' also recalls the debut album, a soft and atmospheric slow pop/rocker with breezy flute, gentle organ and hazy guitar effects. Like much of this album, there's some oddly unnerving and bleak lyrics. But just listen to how Jerney's voice seems to be right behind the speakers, purring directly into your ear. We can dream, right?
"The blackbird sings her song at dawn...". Brrr...The richly gothic `Storm and Thunder' shows that above mentioned style shift to great and commanding effect. A somber and serious ballad with lush orchestration, Jerney is a dark mistress with haunting vocals (especially powerful on the chorus sections) recalling vivid words of surreal isolation. It's a stirring and grim work of sinister desolation, fuelled by doomy Mellotron, and I'd like to think this track influenced other somber female fronted modern acts like Paatos and Portishead, with the cinematic styled strings heightening the drama and tension in a similar style to much of those artists' work.
Instrumental `In The Mountain' reminds of fellow Dutch proggers Focus, with tasteful virtuoso organ displays and a dreamy floating melody. The guitar work sounds a lot like Andy Latimar with that lovely fluid guitar style he uses in Camel, and strangely, little parts of this track remind me of the psychedelic Beatles track `Flying' and the gentle washing Beach Boys instrumental `Cool, Cool Water'!
The side long epic title track is full of somber symphonic passages and a hazy psychedelic air. A delicate moody introduction, before booming Mellotron strings and oppressive organs blast the listener. There's plenty of pitch-black lyrics, with Jerney's urgent and threatening vocals pleading. Listen to how confident and commanding her voice has become! Marching percussion, bubbling spacey synths, murmuring bass, reflective acoustic segments and a grandiose and dramatic finale - this track really has it all!
Check out one of the CD reissues with the bonus track `Lost Forever' - ever wondered what Black Sabbath might have sounded like with a ballsy and sultry female singer? Look no further! It's got sludgy chugging dirty guitar and classical metal riffs, and sounds like nothing else on the main album. Extra track `Invitation' is a 60's leftover rocker that switches between slightly moody and downbeat verses with a playfully upbeat and sexy chorus.
Like an unholy alliance of King Crimson and Jefferson Airplane, `Song of The Marching Children' is an exciting and intelligent work by a talented band with a hugely charming lead vocalist. The experimentation and symphonic leanings would progress even further on their next two albums, and it remains a hugely important and well-renowned Dutch progressive album. I still hold more love for their energetic debut, which is a very special album to me, but this is anything but a dud follow up! It's a near faultless album, and Mellotron freaks or fans of female-fronted prog bands need look no further!

From the opening seconds of `Wild and Exciting', hard rocking riffs and Jerney's confident vocals punch you straight in the face! A melodic opener that grabs your attention right away with it's power, a catchy and addictive rocker full of wailing guitar solos!
The upbeat `Twilight Dreamer' is hazy and psychedelic, with a stoned acoustic guitar and male/female diversion in the 'There comes Lydia...!' moments! Lovely shimmering organ, and I especially smile in the quiet cymbal and flute breaks.
Cheeky `Ruby Is The One' is a kind of super-sexy lesbian anthem - or at least that's my interpretation of it! A kick-ass adrenaline charged pop-rocker with a killer chorus and a sleazy strut, no surprise it was picked as a single from the album, backed with an equally naughty B-Side `Mechanical Lover'!
`You Know The Way' is all over the place! Beginning with eerie chanted male vocals, the song soon drifts into a dreamy and reflective acoustic ballad with a superb lead vocal from Jerney. Her words are sadly romantic, but with just a hint of slightly more upbeat moments when electric guitar and organ drops in.
The riff heavy `Vivid Shady Land' is one of my personal favourites, with aggressive groovy guitar and forceful male vocals. The middle section is very influenced by late 60's/early 70's Pink Floyd with mournful organ and spacey guitar effects creating a very floating and ambient break. I love the awkward English translated lyrics like `Leaves all smashed on the river side, the trees are burning and they're crying bright', and the upbeat `making love with our minds' chorus bit! It's all full of very uplifting energy.
Both `21st Century Show' and `Seasons' feature Jefferson Airplane/Peanut Butter Conspiracy duel male/female vocals. The frantic guitar driven `Show' has maddening organ, pumping bass and rapid-fire drumming before a jazzy acoustic detour in the middle with beautifully atmospheric flute.
`Seasons' heavy acid pop sound has grumbling bass with a very moving solo spot about three minutes in where it's just Jerney, flute and acoustic guitar together. Her lovely wistful vocal carries the song through to a thoughtful conclusion.
The dirty sexy strutting 7 minute `Love Quivers' has more chunky riffs, machine-gun drumming, playful group vocal chorus outbursts and two mind-blowing spacey organ outbursts that will knock you down - think those early albums by Eloy, Jane and Grobschnitt for similar organ attacks! The whole band gets lots of loose jamming standout moments on this one, and it's probably the piece that most hints at the symphonic progressive direction the band would next head in.
The album ends on a lovely acoustic acid folk ballad `What's Your Name' with fragile male vocals and gentle flute. Positive vibes all around this one.
Although I'm reviewing the LP version, many of the CD reissues have lots of terrific bonus tracks (for once!) that highlight their shift from psych/acid/rock to a more progressive style. `Hazy Paradise', `Mechanical Lover', and the Mellotron fuelled `Memories' are especially impressive, and they compliment the debut album perfectly. In my opinion, the bonus material is strong enough to stand as an album all it's own. So as much as I'm a vinyl junkie, definitely look into one of the CD releases.
Fans only familiar with the later albums from Earth and Fire should not be dismissive or put off by the different sound present on this one. The album is full of terrific playing, exciting arrangements, hugely charming vocals and boundless energy. Every track heads in different directions, there's a real toughness and sense of fun to the performances, and fans of 60's acid rock and psych will finds lots to relish here. To my ears it's an essential album that truly showcases a band with so much promise and potential, and it's one of the first albums I think of recommending to new listeners. Along with Curved Air's `Air Cut' album, `Earth and Fire' is one of my favourite female fronted prog-related albums, and I love spreading the word about this high quality debut, a total classic in my opinion!

empty walls and ideas.
i love january.
it's a fresh start for so many things.
it's rejuvenating, rewarding, and relaxing after the holidays.
however, i have one {minor} issue with january....
i don't know how to decorate my home.
taking down the christmas decorations is a hassle, but always feels so good.
after doing so, my house feels quite empty.
i no longer live in a place with snow, so i can't do snowmen.
january is in the winter time. but decorating with snowflakes just doesn't feel right,
when i look out my window to find large palm trees, green grass and sunshine.
any suggestions?
i've raided pinterest and several magazines.
do i get a head start on valentines?
{i've never been a huge valentines-hearts-roses person}
or do i embrace the "emptiness" of my home?
i thought i would see what you had to say.
i'm hoping i'm not the only one out there who feels this way.
p.s. dance started back up yesterday.
i can barely walk.
it's funny how long it takes to get into shape,
yet how fast you can fall out of shape.
{funny how that works.}

we always just kinda keep the twinkle-light theme going until like february. those white lights can be a year-round thing too, so it works. its nice to be able to just leave them up around the mantle, shelves, etc for a pretty glow. i try framing and adding new pictures for the new year too:)
ReplyDeleteI just jumped the gun on Valentine's but I don't love a ton of goopy hearts either. You can leave whatever red candles, pillows or other such stuff (from Christmas) out and call it Valentine's decor? I say you embrace the empty/clean look. There's certainly nothing wrong with that. :) I think you should invite me over so I can see.... Haha. I'm so pushy!

Dirty Wings
- By Sarah McCarry
- Genre: Contemporary Fiction
- Release Year: 2014
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Dirty Wings, which takes its name from a Nirvana lyric that's a rapist's monologue, has been billed as the anti-The Fault in Our Stars, with plenty of sordid darkness and despair surrounding its 17-year-old protagonists. The middle volume in Sarah McCarry's loosely connected trilogy, it serves as a prequel to All Our Pretty Songs and sets up the forthcoming finale, About a Girl, in a story arc following three generations of characters. Evoking and celebrating the downward spiral of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll that led to Kurt Cobain's death, Dirty Wings follows two 17-year-old Seattle runaways in the early '90s who steal, drink, do drugs, and have sex with random guys (and, by implication, each other) as they flee down the coast. They're haunted by dreams of scary, black-clad spirit figures, and they're on a collision course with a feckless but talented rocker named Jason, who's about to change their lives. Profane and often overwrought, McCarry's writing is frequently compelling in its snarky dialogue and descriptions of music-fueled ecstasy. Given the broken characters in such a toxic universe, this is best for mature teens.

What's the story?
Seventeen-year-old Maia, adopted from Vietnam by affluent Caucasian parents, lives in early-'90s Seattle, where her whole life is focused on her piano studies and getting into a famous conservatory in New York. A chance meeting with Cass, a girl her own age who lives on the street, proves life-changing, and soon the formerly docile Maia has cut her hair, dyed it bright red, and joined Cass in a spree that starts with stealing the family Mercedes. The girls head down the coast in a blissful hedonistic adventure of booze, sex, and drugs, eventually getting mixed up with a rock band called Argo. Lurking in the background is a sinister figure who appears in both girls' dreams and seems to be pulling Maia toward the underworld.
Is it any good?
Author McCarry has a fine ear for snarky hipster dialogue and uses it well to define her characters. Told in flash-forward and flashback in alternating chapters, DIRTY WINGS is clearly part of a larger story, serving to define the history, the characters, and the forces behind the events in Book 1 and Book 3, all of which show a fondness for Nirvana and Greek mythology.
Although sometimes overly purple, her descriptions of popular music's soul-and-body-shaking effects will strike a chord with many a teen whose life was saved by rock 'n' roll -- though these particular characters are racing headlong toward doom and self-destruction.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about the myth of the doomed rocker. What's the appeal of this theme? What other versions of the story do you know? Do you think it's romantic or stupid?
Does Dirty Wings make you want to learn more about '90s punk and grunge bands?
How does Dirty Wings retell the myth of Persephone? Do you think all the allusions from classical mythology improve the story or get in the way?

Speaking of the best portrait style designers. Charles Dearing is the best in the world. Take a few minutes to watch as Charles cuts this incredibly beautiful horse portrait. The pattern is two feet eight inches tall. He has more detailed portraits but I think this is one of his best designs ever. I am normally not a fan of adding color to wood but he did this pattern justice with the color. All I can say is that I bow down to his talent. Charles is a friend for many years and one of the nicest people I have met during my scroll saw career. Thanks Charles for another incredible piece of work.

Platelets & Thrombosis Lab
Key terms: Discovering novel anti-thrombotics
Research goal
To understand platelet activation mechanisms in order to rationalise the development of novel anti-platelet agents for the prevention of arterial thrombosis.
Our group
Research Overview
Arterial thrombosis, manifesting predominantly as acute myocardial infarction or ischaemic stroke, is by far the most common cause of death and disability in Australia. Activated platelets are the essential cellular component of arterial thrombi and anti-platelet drugs are the mainstay of current pharmacotherapy for the prevention of arterial thrombosis. Consequently, there is substantial need for novel strategies to inhibit platelet function for the prevention of heart attack and stroke. Our research examines the cell biology of blood platelets and their precursor cell, the megakaryocyte, in order to understand the mechanisms by which platelets are produced and function, since examining the mechanisms of platelet production and function is likely to reveal novel approaches for pharmaceutical platelet inhibition.
Heart Foundation
Dr. Justin Hamilton is a senior researcher at the ACBD who has received significant research support from the Heart Foundation over the past decade. Listen to his account of the current research he is undertaking, why he got into cardiovascular research and what you can do to help support the Heart Foundation in its ongoing fight against cardiovascular disease.

Chuck Liddell – The Iceman Of Mma, Part 2Chuck Liddell is considered one of the most dangerous men in the UFC. This is partly due to his unconventional fighting style. Liddell is trained in Karate-Do, Brazilian Jui-Jitsu, wrestling and kickboxing. He holds a black belt and is very dangerous both on his feet and on the mat. Liddell fights in a very relaxed style that is disconcerting to his opponents and makes his actions hard to anticipate. His "hands down" approach to fighting makes for intense and exciting fights. This has contributed greatly to his popularity in the sport of mixed martial arts among the many fans. Liddell is one of the most widely recognized and well liked competitors in the UFC. Liddell has supreme knockout power that ensures that the majority of his victories are won by knockouts rather than by the judges' decision. When the UFC launched their reality series in 2005, titled The Ultimate Fighter, Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture were chosen to be coaches for the two teams of up and coming mixed martial arts fighters. At that time, Randy Couture held the belt for the light heavyweight division, and Liddell was promised a shot at the belt following the conclusion of the reality series. Both of the finalists from The Ultimate Fighter were members of Team Liddell and were given contracts to fight with the UFC. Diego Sanchez and Forrest Griffin were the winners of the reality series and both went on to make a name for them with the UFC. Liddell was indeed granted a fight to Couture where Liddell won in a first round knockout, and Couture subsequently retired. Part of Liddell's widespread recognition in the UFC is due to his media coverage. Liddell is a poster child for one of the top sponsor's of the UFC, Xyience Energy Drinks. Liddell was also the first UFC fighter to appear on the cover of ESPN Magazine. He has since founded his own clothing brand and made appearances on several TV talk shows and magazine covers. Chuck Liddell doesn't plan on going anywhere and intends to keep fighting in the UFC.

Ionomycin free acid is a beneficial tool in research to raise intracellular calcium levels. Also this antibiotic can be used to study the calcium transport across the plasma membrane. It has been shown to induce central demyelination , inhibit adrenal bovine TREK-1 channels , and to regulate cell division of mature human B cells . It is used to study the effects of calcium flux on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, mitochondrial stress and intrinsic apoptosis mechanisms. It is also used to stimulate the intracellular production of the cytokines, interferon, perforin, IL-2, and IL-4 usually in conjunction with PMA.

A peek at our home, the week before Christmas
27 comments:
Everything looks so festive and warm and cozy - can I come visit!? ;) I actually esp. noticed your backsplash! I've been considering putting something like that up in our kitchen. Did you Do It Yourself? If so, have you blogged about it in a post I have not read yet? Do share!
I also noticed one of your Christmas cards had 2 little corgi puppies! I had to sigh as I remembered how our now six year old corgi looked as a precious pup!I can not believe it is almost Christmas and that means it is almost time for New Year--10 years ago we all sat waiting to see if computers would work on New Years Day.
Sorry I haven't been by much-lots of Google issues-I hope things are going well for you.
After weeks and weeks of non-stop Google issues, and still having problems-I am throwing my hands up and making much needed visits. Google doesn't even have any suggestions on how to fix the on going problems-ARGH!!!
I hope you have a Very Merry Christmas and hope you can come by for a visit.

10 Cardio Exercises That Burn More Calories than Running
You don't need to pound the pavement to incinerate fat
We're huge fans of running. It allows you to get a stress-reducing, endurance-boosting workout with just a pair of shoes and an open road.
It also burns calories, of course. At a 10-minute-per-mile pace—roughly the average guy's marathon pace—you'll fry about 10 calories a minute.
That's a solid number, and if you run faster, you can burn even more.
But if running isn't your favorite cardio activity, there are plenty of other modes of exercise that can help you torch calories at a lightning fast rate.
Related: 3 Exercises You Should Do Every Day
"In general, you burn more calories by doing high-intensity weight training than you do running," says Harold Gibbons, a trainer at Mark Fisher Fitness in New York City, and the New York State Director of the National Strength and Conditioning Association.
Most people don't realize this, though. That's often because the number of calories you're told you just burned is typically estimated from The Compendium of Physical Activities, which calculates energy expended through aerobic metabolism.
That works well for low- to medium-intensity exercise, but not so well for higher-intensity activities that rely on anaerobic metabolism.
In fact, when researchers at the University of Southern Maine used a more advanced method to estimate energy expenditure during exercise, they found that weight training burns up to 71 percent more calories than originally thought. Which suggests that a fast-paced circuit workout burns as many calories as running at a 6-minute per mile pace.
But resistance training isn't your only option. There are also cardio exercises that can boost your burn, too. We found 10 exercises that will help you incinerate calories—without ever having to hit pavement.
This explosive cardio exercise works the big, powerful muscles around your glutes and quads, and sends your heart into overdrive, according to research from the University of Wisconsin.
In the study, participants burned 20.2 calories a minute and their average heart was 93 percent of its max for the course of a 20-minute workout.
Related: The Right Way to Do a Kettlebell Swing
"The kettlebell swing works you so hard because it's not a movement you're used to," says Dan John, a strength coach in Salt Lake City and the author of Intervention. "You're not super efficient at it, which taxes your body."
A 185-pound guy can burn 377 calories during 30 minutes of vigorous rowing, or about 12.5 calorie per minute, reports a Harvard University study.
And because you need to utilize the muscles in your arms, legs, and back for efficient strokes, it's a great total-body trainer.

A 180-pound person burns about 1.43 calories per burpee, says exercise scientist and Spartan Coach Jeff Godin. So if you can hammer out at least seven a minute you're in the double digits.
But you should shoot to average at least 10 every 60 seconds, or a rate of 14.3 calories per minute. Why? Performing just 10 reps at a fast pace can rev your metabolism as much as a 30-second, all-out bike sprint, according to a study presented at the American College of Sports Medicine annual meeting, and that makes the burpee a killer cardio exercise.
It sounds downright crazy, but Gym Jones manager Rob MacDonald proved that it's possible to blast 87 calories in one minute on this stationary bike that increases its resistance as you pedal harder.
The key: Give everything you have in that 60 seconds.
Note: This was by no means a scientific experiment, and relies on the accuracy of the built-in AirDyne monitor, which calculates calories by converting revolutions of the fan into physical work.
(Want to see video of MacDonald's mind-blowing 87-calorie effort? Watch You Won't Believe How Many Calories This Guy Burned in 60 Seconds!)
Moderate-intensity rope jumping—about 100 to 120 skips per minute—burns about 13 calories a minute, according to the Compendium of Physical Activities.
This cardio exercise uses more muscle groups than jogging, and challenges your balance and coordination—especially if you practice drills that require extra hand and foot skills.
If you haven't tried this fast-growing cycling sport, you should. You can burn up to 1,500 calories an hour—or nearly 25 calories per minute—pedaling the heavy, hard-to-turn monster bikes and tackling all types of terrain, all year round, says Mike Curiak, record holder for the 1,000-mile Iditasport Impossible, a fat tire biking race.
Reality check: That kind of calorie burn depends on your fitness and strength levels, and your skill. But regardless, it's sure to be one hell of a cardio workout.
This CrossFit Workout of the Day (WOD) burns an average 13 calories per minute, according to scientists at Kennesaw State University.
It's effective because it pairs three exercises—5 pullups, 10 pushups, and 15 air squats—that work different major muscle groups, and you do as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes.

So if you're in amazing condition, you can go all-out for each one, without slowing down or stopping to recover in between.
If you're somewhat less than amazing (read: like most people), you simply rest when needed. For example, you don't move on to the pushup until you've completed 5 reps of the pullup, even if you have to stop and start.
"Any routine that takes you from standing, down to the ground, and back up to standing again is an amazing calorie burner, because it really spikes the heart rate," says John. And for the fuel your body needs to exercise hard—and recover fast—check out these 20 Healthy Smoothie Recipes.
Zipping along on skis delivers a better cardio workout compared to running at about the same pace, thanks to the fact that the sport requires you to push with your lower-body and pull with your upper.
In fact, a good cross-country ski session can burn more than 12 calories a minute, according to the Compendium of Physical Activities.
That explains why Nordic Skiers consistently collapse in exhaustion at the finish line of Olympic races. (No fresh snow? Look for the new Concept2 SkiErg machine at your gym.)
This four-minute miracle drill burns major calories both during a workout and after. In an Auburn University at Montgomery study, participants who did eight rounds of all-out jump squats—20 seconds of hard work, separated by 10 seconds of rest—burned 13.4 calories per minute and doubled their post-exercise metabolic rate for at least 30 minutes.
To try it yourself, check out The Unbelievable 4-Minute Cardio Workout.
In a recent College of New Jersey study comparing various workout styles, battling-rope exercises came in first in terms of total oxygen consumption and an average calorie burn of 10.3 calories per minute.

A group of hunters, some on horseback and others on foot, attack a wild boar. The hunters' dogs join in the attack, whilst two horsewomen look on approvingly. In the background a man blows a bugle.
This and its companion, 'Return from the Hunt', are not allegories of Europe and Asia respectively, as was once thought, but are a pair of gallant hunting scenes.
In the painting Parrocel may well have borrowed figures from engravings of hunting scenes by Antonio Tempesta and after Rubens.
Their magnificent frames decorated with carved animal heads are of the period 1710-30.

Mango Fruit Salsa
Recipe by Kozmic Blues
This is so simple and tastes wonderful. We made this for my Pampered Chef party and it was a huge hit. Don't worry if you don't have their manual food processor, which is the main tool they highlight for this recipe. I find that I can dice the fruit with my knife just fine, and it even comes out a little neater looking; The manual food processor just saves time. Please feel free to use lemon OR lime, for juice and zest. I've used both, and they both work well. Depending on the sweetness of the fruit, I add agave nectar to taste, no more than 1 tbsp usually. Serve with Stacey's cinnamon pita chips, or your own home made pita chips. This is also amazing served over ice cream! I believe 1/2 cup salsa = 2 Weight Watchers Points
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 236.59 ml strawberry, hulled and diced
- 1 kiwi, peeled and diced
- 1 mango, ripe
- 4.92 ml lime zest
- 14.79 ml lime juice
- agave nectar, to taste
- If not using the Pampered Chef Manual Food Processor, try and chop your fruit into uniform 1/4 - 1/2" cubes.
- For the mango, I usually peel the skin off first with my vegetable peeler, and chop a small slice off the top and bottom. That way it stays flat on my board as I slice around the pit.
- The pit of the mango is large and flat. When you slice off a bit of the top and bottom, you can see its shape. I usually cut down the two wide sides of the mango first, and then carefully slice down the thinner sides to make sure I get all of the beautiful yellow mango off the pit.
- Ripe mango is very slippery, so carefully slice fruit and dice into cubes.
- Add all fruit to a large bowl.
- Add lime (or lemon) zest and juice.
- Taste, and add agave nectar, up to 1 tablespoons.
- Serve with cinnamon pita chips.

I'm officially the proudest babysitter. I love 'my' kids so much... and their parents too of course. They make me feel so loved and valued! I am one lucky ducky.
So the deal is that I had a birthday a few days my birthday and when I picked up the kids from school it was their teacher who wished me a happy birthday first. "They've been talking about it all day, " she said. Proud moment # 1. Well, I guess it's not so much proud as feeling loved. I was just astonished that they would be talking about me at school and had to squeeze them enthusiastically as a result.
Then, it became apparent that something else was up. I had been told not to make dinner and then Luke said, "Kimmie, I gotta tell you something." He always starts sentences that way. I love it. He's just gotta tell me something. "Today, Mom is going to pick me up and then we're all going to my house and then I can't tell you anymore because it's a secret." Ok kiddo. The jig was up. I kind of suspected a little event when I was told not to make dinner, but then of course in their excitement to keep a secret, the kiddos pretty much told me the secret straight off the bat. How precious are they? There was much crying and arguing in the car every time someone got a bit too close to the secret. I played along and pretended not to know.
At the end of the day I was surprised with a lovely meal with both families made by Luke's Mom Elizabeth who also made the most scrumptious cake of life! A three layer lemon cake with mixed berries inside and lemon frosting. It was great! Ummm, yeah, I totally I had some for breakfast the next day, in case you were wondering.
The best part though was the two beaming children handing me their homemade cards. So proud... and having completed them all by themselves!
Luke's envelope portrays the game that he and Eleanor had been playing earlier in which one person got trapped in a string. In the foreground is another guy, cut/pasted from a separate piece of paper, who's coming to let the trapped person out.
As I've sat with this... I feel like it may just be a big clue into his view of the world, or at least drawing/art. I feel like the supplies (paper, crayons, paints) maybe very real and tangible to him, more so than I tend to think of them. When I sit down to draw I know I'm making a representation or just something beautiful. For him the building was real enough to flip over and imagine a back yard there. His envelope drawing (above) was very real too, like a diagram of the exact event that had happened earlier. What does this mean???? Whatever it is, he's super cool and I'm going to spy on him more to see if I can figure it out!
I was also impressed that Luke had just learned to spell my name. He made this neat little drawing and folded it into his envelope. He said it was him and me.
Then we have Miss Eleanor's card... starting with one GIANT googley eye...
and on the inside her sweet note that nearly made me cry...
The thing that gets me is that she knew what she wanted to say and just wrote it down. She's been reading and writing on her own for a bit now, just sounding things out. Her interest and nonchalance is so awesome. What broke my heart is this awakening ability to communicate in a whole new way. She has a thought and transforms it into words in her mind and then turns it into marks on paper that mean something to all of us. It's just so cool.
Both of my gifts from the kids are really all about them growing and developing and becoming thinkers and makers...my two favorite things. I just stress how awesome it is to witness and be a part of. I love you guys!!!

St Edmund Campion
December 1, 2012
Of all those martyred during England's Elizabethan era, none was more gifted in mind and word than Edmund Campion. And no one exemplified the crisis of conscience between God and country better than he did.
The country's politics at that time were in tension between the 'old religion', Catholicism, and the new allegiance to the ruler of the realm, Anglicanism. As a young scholar from Oxford, Edmund had every worldly success. He had accepted the Anglican faith and been made deacon. This required his taking the Oath of Supremacy to the queen, in civil as well as religious matters. He endeared himself to Queen Elizabeth I by his erudition and his eloquence and there were whispers that he would be made archbishop of Canterbury.
But Campion's conscience was in turmoil. While pledging his political loyalty to the Queen, he knew that his faith demanded obedience to Christ alone and to his vicar on earth, the Pope. Unfortunately, the Pope considered Queen Elizabeth an 'illegitimate heretic', and supported an expedition to dethrone her – which meant that every Catholic in the country was seen as a potential traitor.
Campion fled the land, first to Ireland, and then to Douai in France, where he rejected his Anglican faith and promised to live as a Catholic. He entered the Society of Jesus in Rome, and was ordained a priest in Bohemia. Sent back to England to minister to the persecuted Catholics, he preached to Protestants as well and published his "Ten Reasons", a polemic essay proving that the Catholic faith alone was the one true religion.
Betrayed by a former Catholic, he was imprisoned in the Tower of London and tortured. Friends from earlier times and even the Queen herself implored him to recant, with promises of honours and a new life. But Edmund remain steadfast. He was finally condemned to death on false charges and executed in 1581.
Every record we have of Edmund Campion, every remnant of his written words, not least his personal letters, show us he was nothing less than a man of genius, truly one of the great Elizabethans. In one way alone he was different – he was saintly and steadfast to the truth, as no other of them was.
