Bob Harris to receive lifetime achievement award from Americana Music Association
The Americana Music Association has announced that it is giving a lifetime achievement award to Bob Harris, who has been directly responsible for introducing many people in the UK to Americana.
Harris, 65, is to receive the Trailblazer Award. The association said it is honouring him for working "as a tireless advocate for exceptional artistry. For generations he's played a pivotal role in exposing listeners to rising talent and critically acclaimed stalwarts, via shows on the BBC and other outlets."
He will receive the honour during the annual Americana awards, on October 13 in Nashville's Ryman Auditorium.
The Trailblazer award has only been given twice before – in 2007 to Lyle Lovett and in 2008 to Nanci Griffith.
The association also announced that it was giving a lifetime achievement award for songwriting to Lucinda Williams, for performer to Gregg Allman and for instrumentalist to Jerry Douglas. Rick Hall, whose landmark sessions fostered the Muscle Shoals sound, will be honoured with the Jack Emerson Executive Award.

Crossway Classic Commentaries: Proverbs
by Bridges, Charles•
Crossway 2001
While other parts of Scripture show the glory of the Christian's high calling, Proverbs instructs in detail how to walk in and be worthy of this calling. A treasure trove of divine wisdom, Proverbs challenges readers to actively seek its priceless truths about daily living. Charles Bridge's classic work provides the map. He divides Proverbs into three general sections, interpreting each nugget of instruction canonically—that is, as an organic part of the Bible as a whole—and evangelically—that is, assuming the change of heart through the Holy Spirit's regenerating action about which evangelical theology is explicit—and practically—that is, as a guide to wise and godly behavior in all human relationships. With Bridge's stimulating insights as a guide, you will find Proverbs to be a rare and extraordinary book which impresses on your heart the importance of faith's fundamentals, the value of self-discipline, and the impact of bringing everything under the Word of God.

When I chose the name for this site a couple years ago, I wondered if it was a good idea to focus on the pursuit of happiness. The indication is that we are always chasing and never achieving, always going and never arriving. I worried that the name would convey a constant restlessness and that no one would ever listen to me if I couldn't proclaim that I had found and maintained happiness once and for all.
But then I realized that's exactly what I wanted to convey.
Happiness is not a destination at which to arrive, but a journey to take.
It is about savoring the current moment, yes, but also about knowing that we must always keep choosing.
Life will always present us with new opportunities to be defeated. People will die, jobs will be lost, and tragedies will hit close to home. And we will have to come back to our core values and figure out how to be happy again. In these days we will find ourselves hunting happiness doggedly, with flashlights and blood hounds and urgency.
Other times we will not have to hunt. We will follow happiness along like a mother trailing after a toddler at the park. We are watchful, certainly, but we know the pace of those legs and exactly where the temptations lie. We reach out when we need to change course, but mostly we just amble along, half paying attention while we enjoy the warm day and conversation with a friend.
Real happiness is neither a constant day at the park nor a lifetime of hunting in the dark. Real life moves between the two, but the pursuit of happiness is always an option.
I hope I never become so foolish as to think I have conquered happiness. I have learned a lot about being happy and I love sharing those lessons and stories with others, but I am now and always will be just another seeker on the road.
Will we always be pursuing happiness?
By God, I hope so.
What do you think?

Senator Olufemi Lanlehin (Oyo South District) yesterday urged the Federal Government to assist victims of last Sunday's rainstorm in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
Hundreds of residents were rendered homeless by the violent wind that accompanied the first rain of the year in Ibadan.
Many installations of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), including electric poles, cables and conductors were destroyed.
The lawmaker sympathised with the victims and urged the Federal Government to come to their aid.
He described the storm as "another sad chapter" in the lives of the people.
In a statement by his media aide, Olawale Sadare, Lanlehin urged the victims to take solace in the fact that no life was lost.
He said: "One would naturally wish that Ibadan should be spared of situations like this, since our people are yet to fully recover from the floods that ravaged the ancient city 18 months ago.
"We commiserate with our kith and kin in the communities where the storm left in its wake varying degrees of damage to homes, offices, shops, schools, workshops and places of worship."
Lanlehin applauded the swift response of the state government and urged the Federal Government to play its part.
The Vice-Chairman of the Senate Committee on National Planning, Economic Affairs and Poverty Alleviation pledged to assist the victims.

We all have that childhood dream of becoming a race car driver some day. Speed brings adrenaline and excitement, a feeling that only racing could provide. And there are innumerous forms of the motorsports, which take place in the world. But sadly, in India, the racing scene is not that mature and only a handful of race car drivers has made it big in the international arena.
Not until recently, when India hosted their first-ever Formula One race, most of the people came to know about this high adrenaline, highly competitive and highly dangerous form of sports. And with the interest, they started recognizing F1 stars, among which were a couple of Indian drivers too. But there's a lot more racers outside the F1 too, including A1 GP, WRC, and 24-hours Le Mans.
So, here's a list of the top 5 race car drivers from India who made it big internationally.
Narain Kartikeyan
If you are from India, and follow motorsports of any sorts, it would be foolish of you, not to know who Narain Kartikeyan is. The ace Indian driver is credited with putting India on the mainstream international racing circuit and became the first Indian to race in an F1 race. While his F1 career was not as exciting, he did manage to do good in A1 GP. He has also raced in the prestigious 24-hours Le Mans and is currently racing in the Super Formula Series for the past 2 years.
Karun Chandhok
Karun Chandhok took forward from where Narain Kartikeyan left! He proved many cynicists wrong that Narain's arrival at the F1 is a one time event and India doesn't have the potential to produce super racers. Son of a veteran racer, and now chairman of FMSCI, Vicky Chandok, Karun Chandhok inherited the racing DNA from his father. Karun is the only racer to compete in the Formula E championship, and has an illustrious 24 hours of Le Mans career. He has raced for Lotus and HRT in the F1 championship and also competed in the FIA World Endurance Championship.
Armaan Ebrahim
Armaan Ebrahim, though not too successful as some of the aforementioned racers, has an exhaustive experience of representing India in many in many international motorsport events. He is the son of veteran race car driver, Akbar Ebrahim, and has featured in many TV series, including the one with the Red Bull F1 driver, David Coulthard in 2009. He has raced FIA GT Series for BMW Auto Service Team India and A1 GP.
Aditya Patel
Aditya Patel is the Indian racecar driver who races and represents Audi Motorsports India. He has represented India in various international race series like the F-BMW, VW Scirocco-R Cup, ADAC GT Masters, International GT open and is now racing in the Audi R8 LMS Cup. He is the kin of veteran race car driver Kamlesh Patel with years of experience in karting.
Gaurav Gill
While Formula 1 is all about speed and technology, Rally racing is all about your control of the car and your ability to judge take risks. India has been hosting Raid de Himalayas and other rally stuff for long now and Gaurav Gill has been the most revered and iconic personality to win all these events as well as represent India's name in the world of rallying over the years. Sadly, not many people know his name, despite being one of the biggest names in the Indian Motorsports scene.

Maria Christina Anzalone
Fashion Design
Product Coordinator for Venus Fashion Corporation
The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale
Total commitment is required. If this is not your true passion in life, you will quickly find out. You cannot rely on someone else to get your job done for you. Everyone must do their part. Maria Christina Anzalone , Product Coordinator for Venus Fashion Corporation Bachelor of Science in Fashion Design, 2008 , The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale
Maria Christina Anzalone is a product coordinator for Venus Fashion Corporation in Boca Raton, Florida. She is responsible for $40 million in label distribution protocol for the company's dress and jumpsuit business. Maria explains that she has daily communication with overseas partners and factories in China, Turkey, India, and Germany.
Maria also participates in product fittings "to ensure the best fit for the Venus customer" and works with key inventory partners and upper management to review delivery dates of bulk goods. While performing these responsibilities she also has her eye on the future, reviewing current and future season product while negotiating the best cost to achieve Venus Fashion's business goals.
Maria balances her career with motherhood, which she admits can be challenging. She says that working mothers in the fashion industry feel pressure because of long workdays and frequent travel. "I found myself rocking my child to sleep (in one arm) and answering emails in the other. My work-life was not balanced and my stress level was at an all time high. I had to re-evaluate my situation, which lead to me to leave the job that I had held for several years and move onto a better situation." Today, Maria is excited to be part of a company that promotes a healthy balance. "This was truly a life lesson for me, and taught me that there are employers that do put the employee first and I should never settle for less. My employer is truly supportive and has given me a road map to achieve my growth."
She adds that fashion is a career requiring total commitment. "If this is not your true passion in life, you will quickly find out." Despite the demands of the industry, Maria says that she's incredibly fulfilled when customers post positive feedback in focus groups or on social media. "It really makes it all worth it to know that we are making [our customers] happy."
Maria's education at The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale provided the foundation she needed—and the push from instructors to reach her full potential. "The teachers expected nothing but the best from us. If we were not giving 110%, we were only letting ourselves down in the end. The fact that our teachers were people from within the industry was really a source of encouragement." Maria mentions that she frequently uses lessons learned in her fabric, advanced draping, and technical drawing classes.
Maria, who in 2008 earned a Bachelor of Science in Fashion Design from The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, says that graduates new to the fashion industry need to stay positive and work hard. "This industry can be very harsh at times but don't give up. Learn from your mistakes and just keep going." She says that fashion design is a never-ending challenge to keep customers interested. "Each season [brings] new textiles, colors, and silhouettes. It is my job to source these new findings for the everyday customer who may not understand couture. It's my challenge to keep [the customer] interested and deliver quality fashion."

I reviewed the Fringe Pilot a few posts back. I was on the fence then, but anticipated sticking with Fox's "New Hit Series," for the first season. Now, I'm not so sure. Somehow, I managed to completely miss the second episode, but watched about half of it last night on Fringe Television – a pretty impressive website where full episodes are available for viewing without having to dowload a player. I only watched half because I had just finished watching the third episode, "Ghost Network," and had really had enough for one night.
This episode opens exactly…and I mean exactly…like an "X-Files" episode. Same dark lighting, same something-really-spooky-is-about-to-go-down music, same ominous dialogue, same focus on a desperate character haunted by something supernatural, culminating in a big "What just happened?!" moment and then the first commercial break. That's not officially a complaint, since it inspired a wonderfully nostalgic feeling and really sucked me in to the episode. On the other hand, the thought, "This feels just like an 'X-Files' episode opening " repeated in my brain throughout the entire segment. So, maybe it is a complaint. In any case, I'll get to the real complaints in a moment.
See, here's the thing: If I'm going to invest myself in a new epic mythology television series (like "LOST" or "X-Files," both of which I am enormously devoted to), there has to be a…well…a natural process. It's like dating. If the guy shows up in his best suit, bearing a dozen long-stemmed roses and a Cartier watch, it's not generally a good idea to presume this is what the entire relationship is going to be like. I mean, you wouldn't marry that guy based on that first impression, would you? I hope you wouldn't. Your mama raised you better than that, didn't she? No, you'd spend time with that guy and get to know him and, if you're both fortunate, love would grow. Granted, I fell head over heels for "LOST," at episode 1 (It had me at "hello"), but that's just what kept me coming back for more. And, it never once disappointed. I mean, not once. Some might disagree, but I have never experienced a let-down with any episode.
But, if that guy showed up for the first date in his best suit, but still had bits of tissue stuck to shaving nicks on his face and his socks were two different colors, maybe you'd try to overlook that to give the actual person behind the faux pas a chance…but you'd be leery. And, "Fringe" had me leery from the start. I'm often turned off when I can see stagecraft. It is easy to see "Fringe" trying very hard to show us how much it is "just like" its predecessors…trying to convince us that we should put it in the same pantheon and not evaluate it for ourselves. Did those other two series' do that? They didn't have to. See where I'm going with this? And, the careful plotting of a mythology in a television series is really starting to get old for me. As a device to gain a faithful audience from the outset, I think it also has the potential do alienate those who are not blown away by the first few episodes. You can claim the episodes stand alone for casual viewers until the cows come home, but I'm not sure you can really have it both ways here. A show like "Fringe" is after the superfan demographic. And, well, I just don't think I have enough room in my heart for another series.
Sure, the production values are extremely slick, the characters are all well-cast and engaging, and those symbols (or glyphs) are intriguing. (To see hi-resolution images of each glyph and a brief description, visit the Fringepedia.) But, when I started to see the tiny little Easter Eggs being logged at Fringe Television here, my brain just short-circuited. Not again! It was a great ride with "LOST," and eagerly anticipate Season 5 and the new nuggets it will bring to my over-active, analytical brain, but how much of this can one really tolerate in one's diet? I'm talking about tiny things…like a brief shot of a dusty old car in a dark garage with the logo modified from "MG" to "MD," referring to "Massive Dynamics," the big, mysterious corporation. Come on! And, I'm still not complaining yet!
Let's get to the actual episode, because I see I'm ranting just a bit. Focus, woman! Focus! Here are the glyphs that appeared during the breaks in "Ghost Network:"
This episode centered on Roy McCohn, a guy with metal in his blood (put there 20 years previously by Dr. Bishop, who is now receiving transmitted thought over a "spectrum" supposedly unknown to anyone except Dr. Bishop and his old lab buddy "Belly." Roy sees things that are about to happen…terrible things…because he's picking up the intentions of others who have, apparently, discovered this spectrum of thought waves…this ghost network. I just know the writers wanted to call it a "Psychic Network," but I think they would have either had to get permission fro Dionne Warwick or given her a guest spot or something. The opening segment was awesome and the scene that greeted us on the other side of the commercial break was equally so: a bus full of dead people frozen in place by a silicon-based substance like – as Dr. Bishop put it, "mosquitos in amber." Nice. If they could have kept up that level of eloquence and intrigue for the entire hour, they might have had me.
But, in the very next scene, we've got Dr. Bishop and his son Peter sitting in a diner. When Peter gets up from the table and his cell phone, left on the table, vibrates, the good doctor is mystified by it. He later says to Peter, "It was moving. I stopped it." Okay, for a guy who's been locked up in a mental institution for 17 years, I can actually accept that. But, remember how I complained about how familiar he was with the computers he used in the pilot? In this episode, he confidently asks to "view axial images," during an MRI of poor old Roy, even though he lets us know he's never seen an MRI machine before, and he later makes a reference to satellite television. These inconsistencies in his knowledge base just say "sloppy" to me. Don't try to tell me this is because he's crazy or anything like that. If you're trying to be "LOST," or "X-Files," then you need to put that same kind of devotion in to the internal consistency and maybe stop spending so much time changing car logos. You know what I'm sayin'?
And, apparently the writers felt there wasn't enough quirkiness in the house. It suddenly became necessary to have a piano brought to the lab because piano music helps Dr. Bishop focus. We learn that he and Peter both play very well…setting up yet another contrivance we will surely see more of…much, much more of. I also know I can count on every episode to have these elements:
- A confrontation between Agent Dunham and Special Agent Broyles
- A flirtation between Agent Dunham and Peter Bishop
- A big lab experiment
- A weird Dr. Bishop moment
- A Massive Dynamics scene with creepy Nina Sharp
- A chase and a takedown featuring Agent Dunham
The formula is already smelling a bit musty to me.
But, because I want to give credit where it is due, there are a couple of humorous moments that are genuinely engaging and smart. At the start of an experiment on poor Roy involving drilling right into his brain and monitoring his responses to pictures shown to him, the door to the Harvard basement lab is knocked upon, making the characters…and me, in this case, jump. Agent Olivia Dunham answers and we see two students who ask, "Is this Poli-Sci 101?" Her response? A straight-faced, "Not remotely." Good one.
I may become a "casual viewer," but I'm sure not changing any plans to be sure I see every episode. I've given my heart twice to series' before. That's enough for this old girl. You follow your own heart, but guard it well!
Romans 16:25 Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began 26 but now has been made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures has been made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, for obedience to the faith– 27 to God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.

DENVER — The Colorado Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that some of those serving sentences for marijuana possession can ask to have their convictions thrown out under the state's new legalization law, but don't expect the jail cells to start emptying just yet.
For one, most if not all of those convicted of marijuana possession prior to the passage of Amendment 64 in 2012 aren't in jail. The previous penalty for being caught with an ounce or less of marijuana was a fine not to exceed $100.
"The impact of this ruling is very limited given that possession of an ounce or less of marijuana was already a petty offense subject to a $100 fine," said Attorney General John Suthers in a post-decision statement. "No one could be incarcerated for such a petty offense."
For another, Suthers said he doubts that Amendment 64 can be applied retroactively. The decision by a three-judge panel said the ruling applies only to those who were in the process of appealing their convictions when the voter-approved measure went into effect on Dec. 10, 2012.
While marijuana advocates lauded the decision, Suthers said in Thursday's statement that he would probably file an appeal.
"While the attorney general's office is reviewing the ruling, we will likely appeal because of the implications this ruling may have on other non-marijuana cases," said Suthers. "Well-established retroactivity law in Colorado indicates that statutory changes are prospective only unless the general assembly or the voters have clearly indicated an intent to require such retroactive application. That was not the case with Amendment 64."
The court reversed the 2011 convictions of Brandi Jessica Russell on possession of marijuana concentrate and marijuana, saying that a defendant is "entitled to the benefits of amendatory legislation that mitigates the penalties for crimes when he files a motion for post-conviction relief."
"Amendment 64, by decriminalizing the personal use or possession of one ounce or less of marijuana, meets the statutory requirement for 'a significant change in the law' and eliminates and thus mitigates the penalties for persons convicted of engaging in such conduct," said the decision.
Russell was guilty of possessing less than an ounce of marijuana and marijuana concentrate, as well as methamphetamine possession. She is now serving two concurrent four-year sentences of supervised probation.
At the time of her arrest, possessing three ounces or less of marijuana concentrate was considered a felony and subject to stiffer penalties than possession of marijuana, but the court noted that they are "deemed the same under Amendment 64."
"Because defendant's convictions were pending appeal when Amendment 64 became effective on December 10, 2012, her convictions for possession of marijuana concentrate and less than one ounce of marijuana must be reversed and vacated," said the court.
Russell's sentence may not be significantly reduced, however, given that the court refused to toss out her methamphetamine conviction.

The Miami Marlins came away 6-2 winners over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday after a five run eighth inning.
Trailing by a run with five outs to go, the Marlins began their explosive rally. When all was said and done, Miami batted around with two batters coming to the plate twice in the inning. The inning featured two walks with the bases loaded.
After the Pirates walked in two runs to give Miami the lead, more runs were added by the offense. Adeiny Hechavarria singled home a run to give the Marlins some breathing room. Following that, Reed Johnson grounded out to bring home another run. Finally, Christian Yelich came up and hit a run-scoring ground-rule double to cap off the big inning.
Garrett Jones returned to Pittsburgh for the first time since joining the Marlins and went 2-2 along with walking once. Jones had played in Pittsburgh for the previous five seasons and was a fan favorite while there.
Brad Hand started for Miami and did well in his 6.1 innings. He left with his team trailing so he comes away with a no-decision. Hand allowed a pair of runs on six hits and has solidified his place in the starting rotation with a recent string of strong performances.
A.J. Ramos was credited with the win after picking up the last two outs of the seventh inning. In the eighth, Bryan Morris who pitched for Pittsburgh before the June trade to Miami provided his team with a perfect frame.
Miami will look to keep the momentum going on Wednesday when Tom Koehler makes the start against the Pirates.

A copy of crossover games would be the best way to go. If you want to run windows games on Linux.
For me, I am done with running Windows games on Linux, and Windows games on Windows. PC titles are in such a bad shape that they won't even run good on Windows. Not mentioning the games like Fallout 3 which have the hideous windows live system attached to them.
Furthermore, Svartalf said some intelligent things about why you shouldn't buy Windows games for your Linux machine on these forums. I suggest you look them up and think about them.

Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar to be Michigan Law School Senior Day Speaker
April 9, 2013
Michigan Law alumnus Ken Salazar, Secretary of the Interior, is set to deliver this spring's commencement address at Law School Senior Day ceremonies May 12.
Salazar, a 1981 graduate of the Law School, will speak to graduates during ceremonies that begin at 2 p.m. at Hill Auditorium.
Serving as Secretary of the Interior is just the most recent of Salazar's accomplishments. After earning his juris doctor from Michigan Law in 1981, Salazar worked in private practice in Denver. In 1986, Salazar served as chief legal counsel to then-Gov. Roy Romer, who appointed him in 1990 as Director of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources. In 1998, he was elected Attorney General for Colorado. In 2004, he was elected United States Senator for Colorado, serving from 2005-2009.
Salazar assumed office as the 50th U.S. Secretary of the Interior Jan. 20, 2009. He announced in January of this year that he would be leaving to return to Colorado.
"With his deep experience as a public servant, Secretary Salazar is sure to provide an inspirational commencement address for graduates who are curious about where their new Michigan Law degrees can take them," said Law School Dean Evan Caminker. "As a core member of President Obama's team, Salazar has helped lead, define and secure impressive public policy goals, including increasing oversight of oil and natural gas production, renewing the Department's commitment to conservation, spearheading the development of renewable energy, and restoring trust with Native American communities.
"From practicing law to representing the citizens of Colorado, first as Attorney General and then as Senator, to protecting public lands, the Secretary demonstrates that a Michigan Law degree offers a wide array of opportunities to graduates."

Frizzy hair, shiny skin, soaked feet and bluesy mood- rainy season is officially back. Perhaps the least glamourous time of the year, it's a month-long string of rainy days that can be depressing and soothing at the same time, depending on how you see it. I don't mind rainy season, as it's an excuse to stay home and read books for hours, and it's a nice little prep time before the heat that will ensue immediately after.
There's nothing official about this guide, but that's how I intend to spend rainy season and some of my must-have items:
-Hunter rain boots. I've had my same aubergine-coloured pair for about five years, I love them and never travel without them. It's a small splurge, but they've become increasingly popular in Japan, unlike a few years ago. If you don't want to spend that amount on rain boots, chain stores like Forever 21, H&M and MUJI all carry cute pairs adorned with fun designs.
-A hooded sweater. Sometimes (most of the time) I forget to carry my umbrella, or simply cannot be bothered, and that's where hooded tops come in handy. My favourite pullover comes from Uniqlo, I've had it since Korea, and it comes in handy every June.
-Hair treatment. My lion's mane gets frizzy with added volume during rainy season, so I picked up the Deeply Restorative Smoothing Hair Oil from Kiehl's, which has been doing wonders to taming my hair. Other options include getting a chemical straightener at the hairdresser, which my stylist Momo at Watanabe Hair in Harajuku does offer. I've never tried it, but friends did and it looked amazing. A haircut is also a good idea, as I should book an appointment soon.
-Skin care update. A drastic change in weather conditions require adjusting your skin care regimen, which means a lighter facial moisturizer in my case (I use Kiehl's now), and carrying those oil-blotting sheets in my bag. On the plus side, humidity gives a nice glow.
- An umbrella. Duh. Yet, I never splurge on umbrellas, as I tend to lose them all over the place, but I guess it's umbrella karma. I like the cheap, clear ones from the convenience store, but I also found some cute clear ones with heart motifs for ¥500 at those station shops, like Ranking Queen and It's Demo.
-Books and magazines. I could never survive rainy season without a full stack. I've been reading mostly Japanese magazines lately, and buying English books at some of the few English bookstores in Tokyo. I'm an old-fashioned gal, I don't like reading from an electronic device, I like turning pages and holding books.
-A guide to all the interesting museum exhibits and events around Tokyo, as well as a list of nice cafes to try or try all over again. Shameless plug here.
-Movies. Going to the cinema, or renting them at Tsutaya, or well, good old streaming. I wouldn't have survived Japan without streaming.
Any other tips?

Nestled between the city and the lovely suburb of Oak Park, Galewood is an ideal community for families, young couples, and people from all walks of life. If you are looking for the perfect marriage of suburb and city, you'll feel right at home on the beautiful tree-lined streets of this picturesque neighborhood. Well-maintained homes, many from the 1920s and 1930s, give Galewood a noticeably old-fashioned appeal that carries over from generation to generation. An international parade of dining options span from hearty, deep-dish pizza to Cuban seafood specialties. To kick back in the evenings and weekends, Galewooders pop over to the local sports bar and grill to meet up with friends, watch the game and catch a nightcap.
Galewood Facts
Location: Approximately 10 miles northwest of the Loop
Bordering Neighborhoods: Monteclare, Belmont Central, North Austin, Elmwood Park, Oak Park
Boundaries: Metra Milwaukee West District Line Railroad tracks to the north, Austin Avenue to the east, North Avenue to the south and Harlem Avenue to the west.
Crime Statistics: Go to CLEARMap for crime stats on specific Chicago neighborhood, intersection, address or police beat.
Then and Now
Like Monteclare, its neighbor to the north, Galewood is a paradoxical suburb within a city. The picturesque streets of this Chicago neighborhood owe their existence to a lively history of prescient homesteading, booming industry, and the ingenuity of early settlers.
When Abram and Sarah Gale relocated to the Midwest from New York, they brought with them a strong work ethic, keen business sense, and a grand piano. The year was 1835, and the city of Chicago was just beginning to grow skyward from the lakeside lot populated by Native American tribes. Legend has it that Sarah's was the first piano ever played in Chicago and when her hands danced over the keys, the audience of native people thought that birds must live inside the magical wooden box.
At the time, the couple lived upstairs from the downtown Chicago shops they had opened. Soon, it became apparent that Sarah's business—a boutique that sold fancy hats to the elite ladies of the city—had the potential to make some real dough. Abram dutifully closed his own shop and set out to keep the books for his wife's business, all the while putting aside the profits to invest in local real estate. By 1837, the Gales had enough money to pay for 320 acres of farmland stretching from Grand Avenue to Lake Street. The total transaction was around $200.
In 1889 the sparsely populated neighborhood where the Gales had settled was annexed to the city of Chicago as part of Jefferson Township. The neighborhood, by then known as Galewood, didn't really draw many visitors until 1899, when the Gale family leased some 65 acres for the development of the Ho Golf Club—one of the first golf clubs built in the Chicagoland area. The 18-hole course filled the space on North Avenue between Oak Park Road and Ridgeland, and although it was only in operation from 1899 to 1927, it peeked the interest of many well-to-do Chicago residents who later decided to move to the neighborhood to raise families.
It was during this surge, which lasted from the late 1920s until the mid '30s, that the majority of homes in the Galewood area were built. Since that time, the neighborhood has been a magnet for young families, upper-class professionals and its fair share of celebrities (silver-screen siren Kim Novak used to call Galewood home, as did publishing mogul Hugh Hefner, in addition to several local and national politicians). During the mid 1900s, many Norwegians immigrated to the community and their distinctive cultural mark is still apparent here today.
Maybe Chicago's historical leaders have always been concerned with creating an abundance of green public spaces for its citizens to make up for the long winters spent indoors, feeling sorry for ourselves. Whatever the reason, we're just happy to have so many parks.
Rutherford-Sayre Park (6871 W Belden Ave, 312-746-5368) was born from the merging of three nearby parks in 1999. Locals have always regarded this area as one big frolicking ground, so it wasn't a surprise to anyone when the city made it official. This is one of those special Chicago parks that includes a fitness center so you can throw out your wallet-draining membership card to the downtown gyms. A little historical tidbit for you: When the original Rutherford Park was built in 1916, there was a bowling alley in the fieldhouse, a very unusual quirk for a city park.
There are plenty of scenic trails here for inline skating, jogging, running, or just taking Fido out for a stroll. For a quick pick-up game during the summer, the baseball fields here are well-maintained, and the park even offers summertime baseball camp for the kiddies. Rutherford-Sayre also participates in the free "Movies in the Parks" series, so grab a blanket, a bottle of wine, and some takeout and settle in for the night.
Amundsen Park (6200 W Bloomingdale Ave, 312-746-5003) is a beautifully landscaped gem. Like Rutherford-Sayre, Amundsen has baseball diamonds, a gym and fitness center, and several lovely walking paths. The park offers day camp programs in the summer, and hosts a sports series for kids under age 12 in basketball, baseball, and kickball. Formed in 1933, the park was named after Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian adventurer who discovered the South Pole, as homage to the area's strong Norwegian population.
Galewood Real Estate
Because the majority of Galewood homes were built before World War II, the residences in this neighborhood have a stunning luster of antiquity that you won't find in such abundance in other Chicago neighborhoods.
Situated on wide, well-maintained tree-lined streets are single-family brick homes of all prices and styles: bungalows, Colonial, Georgian and Tudor-style homes have been lovingly maintained by generations of Galewood residents. In fact, many homes here are simply passed down through the family, and that Old World air is apparent on any stroll through the neighborhood. Estates here were built on larger lots, which means they have sprawling yards, ample parking, and plenty of room for home expansion—all common perks of purchasing a home in this area.
Because so many residences were being built between the 1920s and mid '30s, it wasn't uncommon to share blueprints, and it can be fun to walk through the neighborhood and find your home's twin. Actually, it's fun to walk through this neighborhood just for the heck of it—the unique architectural styles anchored by landscaped yards makes a journey through Galewood one of the most magnificent promenades in the city.
The average sale price for a three-bedroom single-family detached home in this northwest side Chicago neighborhood is $320,000, although there are several dwellings this size that sell for over $400,000. Some of the larger Galewood homes on the market cost over $600,000, but the average sale price for a four to six-bedroom house is around $336,000.
What's on the Menu?
Beauty, serenity and history are nice, but the true soul of a neighborhood is in its kitchens. Galewood offers a plethora of wonderful culinary options for everyone.
Every home needs that perfect pizza delivery place. We consider several factors when choosing our regular pizza guy, and Sarpino's Pizza (6526 W North Ave, 773-622-2262) has all the components necessary to make its way onto the speed dial. Fantastic prices? Check. How's three medium thin-crust pies for 15 bucks sound? Good hours? Check. You can order in until 2am. A wide variety of fresh ingredients? Double check—this is where Sarpino's truly shines. When the rest of the late-night delivery joints are lugging around greasy over-processed pies, Sarpino's is busy raising the bar.
For those of you that prefer deep-dish pizza but are tired of the endless debate over which Chicago chain is best, just belly up to a booth at Edwardo's Natural Pizza (6831 North Ave, 708-524-2400). The service is fast and friendly, the pies are stuffed high enough to fill you up and provide leftovers for a week, and you can request whole-wheat crust if you're feeling guilty about eating a 10-pound pizza. We suggest the spinach and elephant garlic stuffed pizza. Just don't forget to bring the Altoids.
As much as we adore pigging out on pizza, sometimes we're looking for something more civilized and quiet (dare we say romantic?). These are the times to head to Sparacino Ristorante (6966 W North Ave, 773-836-2089), Galewood's best kept secret. This cozy little neighborhood bistro serves up authentic Italian fare. The chef scours the Chicagoland area for seasonal ingredients and then comes up with delicious entrees like pistachio-encrusted sea bass, balsamic-marinated lamb, or our favorite, the Portobello-stuffed ravioli. The cozy dining room is paneled in dark mahogany, with vintage posters scattered about. And its Old World, bohemian flair is perfect for sipping an espresso and nibbling on something from Sparacino's inspired dessert menu.
If you're looking for a more casual dining environment, give Cafe Laguardia West (6818 W North Ave, 773-385-8930) a try. This lively spot is an outpost of the famed Bucktown restaurant that Rachel Ray swears by. Here you can knock back a few mojitos and savor some spicy Cuban food delicacies like frog legs and red snapper. This place is perfect for lounging, nibbling and taking an easy night out on the town. We love making like we're Havana hipsters by choosing from Laguardia's full menu of authentic Cuban cocktails and dancing in the backyard garden.
When it comes to lunch, this Chicago neighborhood doesn't mess around. There are tons of options that fit the bill for the perfect midday meal: cheap, fast, and tasty. For a quick dose of Chicago-style fast food, hit up Michael's Beef House (6747 North Ave, 708-848-8080) for a steak sandwich done right. During the dog days of summer, this is a great place to stop by for a refreshing Italian Ice. For another good bet, we love the almighty burrito at North Burrito (6814 W North Ave, 773-622-6249). The friendly staff here serves up all of your favorite variations on rice, meat and beans.
We had almost abandoned the idea of a great Thai lunch this far west of downtown, but that was before we tried Galewood's Amarind's Thai Restaurant (6822 W North Ave, 773-889-9999). With a peanut sauce that marries the best of sweet and savory flavors, the pad Thai here is divine. The curries are earthy and flavorful, with just the right amount of kick. With all the delicious standards, and the requisite page of inventive noodle dishes, you can just close your eyes and point at anything on the menu—no matter what dish your finger lands on, you won't be disappointed.
Best Shopping Stops
Although it's tempting to head downtown for shopping excursions, you might just find what you're looking for right here in Galewood.
When you don't have time to stitch together that costume for your daughter's ballet recital, Leo's Dancewear (1900 N Narragansett Ave, 773-745-5600) will swoop in to save you. The huge selection of costumes, bodywear, and shoes for all styles of dance is like Disneyland for any performer. In addition, you can find stylish alternatives to the outfits that everyone else in your yoga class poses in. And the clerks here don't mind if you want to do a "down dog" while trying on a new pair of stretchy pants—you've got to see how they look, right?
One of our favorite local shops is Gwen's Corner (6160 W Grand Ave, 773-622-2470). This little boutique fills a niche in the Chicago fashion scene; it specializes in designer apparel and accessories for full-figured women. The selection here is fabulous and includes the shoes and handbags you'll need to complete your new look.
When you're in the market for some new wheels, make Barnard's Schwinn (6109 North Ave, 708-524-2660) your first stop. This little bike shop has been around since 1911, and they are your headquarters for all things bicycle-related. We love Schwinn bikes for their vintage look, comfy ride, and enviable color selection, and we love Barnard's for answering all of our biking concerns, restoring our rides, and keeping us current with the coolest accessories out there. And trust us, you'll be among the hippest bicyclists tooling around the neighborhood on your new set of wheels from this Galewood community fixture.
Getting Around
You can take your shiny new bike and cruise the streets of the Galewood neighborhood all summer long. The lovely houses and lush landscaping make for a scenic ride. Once the weather turns cool again, you might need to explore some other way to get around.
If you like a little old-fashioned transit to go with your architecture, just hop aboard the Metra, whose Milwaukee District West Line stops at the Montclare and Mars stations in Galewood. This train takes passengers straight to Chicago's downtown Union Station, just outside the Loop.
Prefer to drive? With such ample and easy neighborhood parking it's tempting to jump behind the wheel and take your own vehicle just about everywhere within the boundaries of Galewood. Of course, for destinations outside the neighborhood, driving can be a direct way to go as well. The Eisenhower Expressway (I-290) is only three miles south of here. Or, you can take Grand Avenue to downtown and back in a snap—well, depending on what time of day it is. Pretty much all of Chicago's main thoroughfares and highways get congested and backed up during the busy morning and evening rush hours. So, just be aware, and give yourself extra time to get somewhere if you must travel during heavy commuter traffic.
School's in Session
Because Galewood is a Chicago neighborhood that can't quite decide between suburb and city, the primary schools here tend to lean towards the suburban side. Families will find that top-notch facilities, low student-to-teacher ratios, and a diverse mix of students result in a stellar educational system for your young ones. In addition to the following list of Galewood public schools, you can check out our Chicago Guide Schools page for more information on Chicago area schools.

In an initiative that has unsettled hard-liners both here and in Havana, a senior Cuban Government official and the leader of the most powerful anti-Castro Cuban exile group in the United States faced off in a rare direct encounter as part of an unusual debate broadcast tonight.
Deviating from the orthodoxy that prevails on both sides of the Straits of Florida, Ricardo Alarcon, president of Cuba's National Assembly, and Jorge Mas Canosa, chairman of the Cuban American National Foundation, discussed for more than an hour issues like human rights and the American economic embargo.
Their views contrasted sharply, as expected, but that was overshadowed by the political significance of their even speaking to one another.
Mr. Mas Canosa's exile group lobbied successfully this year for passage of the Helms-Burton Act extending the embargo, and is regarded by friend and foe alike as a principal architect of American policy toward Cuba. For its part, the Cuban Government has in the past limited its contacts with exile groups to those critical of American policy.
The debate was taped on Aug. 23 and broadcast by CBS TeleNoticias. The all-news, Spanish-language cable network has its headquarters here and arranged for Mr. Alarcon to speak from a studio in Havana. The encounter, which diplomats said could have occurred only with the personal approval of President Fidel Castro, was transmitted to more than 20 Latin American countries and broadcast in Miami, but was not televised in Cuba. The program is scheduled to be seen in New York on Sept. 14 on WNJU, Channel 47.Continue reading the main story
At first, Mr. Alarcon, who is generally regarded as Cuba's third most powerful official, seemed uncharacteristically restrained in his role as spokesman for Mr. Castro and the Cuban Revolution. When asked how history will judge Mr. Castro, he replied, ''Well, obviously one will have to wait.''
Mr. Mas Canosa, on the other hand, took an aggressive tone at the start, saying that Mr. Castro's life ''is one huge lie'' and that the Cuban Government had spread ''thousands of slanders and insults'' about his group ''and about me personally.''
But the evening ended with Mr. Mas Canosa, a multimillionaire with interests in construction and telecommunications, saying he can envision circumstances in which he would be willing to work with Mr. Alarcon.
''If Fidel Castro leaves the Cuban political scene and Ricardo Alarcon becomes the man heading a democratic transition, would you give him all your economic support?'' asked one of the panelists moderating the debate.
''If he wins in a free democratic election,'' Mr. Mas Canosa replied, ''we would support him, yes sir.''
The Cuban Government maintains that the exchange between these bitterest of enemies is not the start of some larger political process.
''Cuba has not had a dialogue, and will not have a dialogue, with hysterics, mafia types and annexationists,'' Foreign Minister Roberto Robaina said in Havana last week.
Nevertheless, Cuba has been unable to explain why a senior official has broken with a longstanding policy of avoiding all contact with hard-line Cuban exile groups that Havana routinely describes as ''that mafia in Miami.'' Mr. Mas Canosa in particular has been the target of some of the harshest language.
''It means nothing,'' Marianela Ferriol, a spokesman for the Cuban Foreign Ministry, said at the ministry's weekly news briefing in Havana in response to questions from reporters. ''There is no dialogue, there is no debate, there is no recognition.''
Reached by telephone today, a secretary at Mr. Alarcon's office in Havana said he was traveling outside the capital and therefore unavailable to explain his reasons for agreeing to the debate.
Diplomats in Havana attributed the Foreign Ministry's evident unease with the debate to personal and ideological rivalries within the Cuban Government. Mr. Alarcon is a former Foreign Minister and is still Cuba's chief negotiator with the United States on immigration and other issues.
In remarks to the official Cuban press agency Prensa Latina last week, Mr. Robaina criticized Mr. Alarcon's action without naming him. Appearances with enemies of the revolution ''try to introduce confusion over the traditional positions of Cuba, which have not changed,'' Mr. Robaina said.
The debate also marked a shift of attitude on the part of the Cuban American National Foundation, which in the past has criticized rival Cuban exile groups here that favor dialogue with the Cuban Government as part of a transition to the post-Castro era. Indeed, some exiles have in recent days accused Mr. Mas Canosa of abandoning the principles of a 37-year-old struggle.
''We could not pass up an opportunity to express our point of view to a high-ranking representative of the Cuban Government,'' Mr. Mas Canosa said in an interview with a Spanish-language radio station here when asked why he agreed to take participate. ''Reason and truth were on our side, the side of the victims.''Continue reading the main story

Sentencing was postponed Thursday in Washington County Circuit Court for a Funkstown man who admitted stealing nearly $46,000 by fraudulently using his mother-in-law's name on bogus credit cards and forged checks.
John Ellsworth Brantner Jr., 50, faces the possibility of 45 years in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of felony theft and one count of theft by scheme.
As part of the plea agreement, Brantner will be ordered to make restitution of nearly $46,000.
The charges were brought last June after a lengthy investigation by Hagerstown City Police Detective George Brandt, former Washington County Sheriff's Department Investigator Rick Ziolkowski and U.S. Secret Service Agent Wayne Paret.

text: Keto Rapid Diet . There are essentially two fashionable forms of weight reduction medications: prescription pills and over-the-counter tablets. Prescription pills require that a physician see you first and provide you with the important prescription before you can purchase the pills. then again, over the counter capsules do not require a prescription, and are basically considered as a type of nutritional complement. Prescription medications commonly go through more stringent processing and research than over-the-counter capsules before they may be permitted via the FDA. https://mumybear.com/keto-rapid-diet/

Former Big Brother star Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace has said that she is "devastated" following the death of Amy Winehouse.
The 32-year-old had developed a close friendship with the 'Back to Black' star and was photographed outside her Camden home on Saturday, after news of Winehouse's death broke.
Speaking to ITV1's This Morning, Horgan-Wallace hit back at suggestions she had played a role in her friend's death by encouraging her partying ways.
"I'm heartbroken anyway, losing Amy. I just want her back," she said. "But to have this thrown at me, and all the internet hate that I'm getting now. The messages have been just vile and it's hard because it's not true. There's not a scrap of truth in it."
Defending herself against the accusations, she explained: "A certain journalist said that I was seen with her... he also said that I need to ask myself what I was thinking being in that situation with Amy when she was perhaps quite fragile.
"The papers are saying the last time I was with her we were drinking. In fact the last time I was with her was in her house, in her kitchen, we were drinking tea and having a girlie gossip as I would with any friend. Just talking about guys."
Horgan-Wallace said that it had been two months since she had seen the 27-year-old, who she met through a mutual friend. She told presenters Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford that the singer had beaten her addictions.
"She got herself completely well and she did the impossible, which was to get clean," she said. "I'm just so proud of her for getting past it and overcoming it. She did the impossible as I say and she really did."

back to black
I asked this before, with regard to black malt and patent. The answer is that there is none other than name alone. Both are the same MALTED grain that is highly roasted. Roast Barley on the other hand is unmalted grain that contributes flavour and colour but no fermentable qualities. It is an important ingredient in the flavouring of dry stouts.You can make your own by throwing pearl barley in the oven for about 3hrs @ about 80 - 90f. Tastes much better when fresh. CHEERS!

The CUTGroup is a community of nearly 1,500 residents in Chicago and all of Cook County who get paid to test websites and apps to help create better technology. In Chicago, we have reached people from all over the city-- all 50 wards, all 77 community areas. We continue to do outreach in Cook County to grow our diverse group of testers.
The premise is simple:
- Fill out a CUTGroup profile and sign up to be a tester, and we'll send you a $5 VISA gift card
- If and when you are chosen for a test, you get paid a $20 VISA gift card
This is a flagship Smart Chicago program to establish sustained, meaningful collaboration with residents around data and technology.
The CUTGroup has generated lots of interest from other people interested in civic innovation across the country. Colleagues in Oakland and Chattanooga have started CUTGroup programs there. We wanted to write down our processes so that others could learn from our experiences. Once we did that, we realized we had a book, so we put it here. Download the book for free or pre-order a copy at Amazon.
The CUTGroup is supported by The Chicago Community Trust, the MacArthur Foundation, and now, the Knight Foundation.

On their way out of the library at 8 p.m., O'Neil asked Kompare what he thought of the test. "A home run," Kompare replied. "The woman I was working with. Faaantastic. She gave me at least three (improvements) that are doable." Kompare said the app suggested the woman's son take the Cermak bus to school, but she told Kompare that wasn't an option because that route crossed through unsafe gang territory.

But Daniel X. O'Neil, co-founder of EveryBlock and executive director of the Smart Chicago Collaborative, says the current relationship between government agencies and coders is incomplete.
"[D]ozens of developers looking at each other in conference rooms over pizza is never going to lead to making lives better in Chicago without the active involvement of real residents expressing real needs and advocating for software that makes sense to them," O'Neil wrote on his blog last month.
That's why Smart Chicago is launching a "Civic User Testing Group," to involve citizens from all over the city in testing, and eventually conceptualizing, new apps and tools. Participants will become the beta testers for developers looking for feedback on their latest work. Testers will both submit feedback through the group's site and be a part of "mildly scientific" focus groups through the city, O'Neil says.

Microsoft Corp. last week deployed the latest part of an ongoing direct response campaign that relies on database segmentation to more effectively target small businesses. The campaign, which is designed to show how the companyâs XP Desktop applications can address small businessesâ "pain points," included 2 million pieces of direct mail and 5 million e-mails.
San Francisco-based MRM Gould, a division of MRM Partners Worldwide, created the campaign for Microsoftâs small-business division.
"We needed to fine-tune our messaging strategies to small businesses around the world," said Lisa Lix, Microsoft direct marketing manager-U.S. small business marketing.
To assist Microsoftâs direct marketing and retail resellers, MRM Gould created global "go-to-market campaign kits" for each stage of the campaign. These included templates for direct mail, e-mail, banner ads, letterhead and other collateral materials. The kit helps Microsoft maintain consistent yet relevant messages for a host of media and for specific customer segments.
Microsoft divided its target audience into four segments: business owners, business decision-makers, technical decision-makers and women-owned businesses. The company further segmented those categories, sorting companies by vertical industry, number of employees and number of PCs.
MRM Gould created nine versions of the creative material. Mail to technical decision-makers, for example, focused on XPâs ability to simplify technical issues within corporations, while a package to business owners concentrated on corporate revenue benefits. Vertical industries received packages that addressed specific needs within that particular industry.
All direct mail pieces included an offer for a Gateway Inc. notebook computer pre-loaded with Windows or Office software. The tri-fold pieces included suggestions on how to connect with customers and colleagues using Windows XP and Office XP.
Lix said Microsoftâs strategy also used "RFM" (recency/frequency/
monetary) segmentation, a tactic used to determine best customers based on recent purchases, how frequently purchases are made and total monetary value. "We learned legal and accounting [segments] were two very strong verticals for us," she said.
Microsoft applied a similar segmentation strategy to the e-mail marketing portion of the campaign, for which it rented opt-in e-mail names from Yesmail Inc. The campaign also included banner ads, which will run through June on a variety of Web sites.
The initial segmentation strategies have paid off so well that Microsoft is now refining the process further, Lix said. "Weâre going beyond just the number of PCs and number of employees to looking at several demographics, as well as firmographic information [such as number of employees or revenue] and combining that with our own transactional history," Lix said.
That more mature segmentation approach will roll out in the companyâs next fiscal year, which begins in July.
Lix said Microsoft is always trying to improve its response rates, but she indicated that return on investment is considered the most meaningful metric. "Weâre working toward more precision in our marketing efforts with the goal of maximizing our ROI," she said.

Purim starts tonight, and although I found a Jewish bakery in W. Orange that was selling Hamentaschen, I can't say that I loved them--the dough was just too sweet for me.
For those of you who don't know, Hamentaschen are the triangle-shaped cookies with a filling of prune, apricot, raspberry, or even poppy seeds. You'll see them this time of year because they're a food associated with the celebration of Purim, which involves a whole Megillah I won't go in to here... :-)
A conversation with my dad this morning yielded intel I didn't have: there are bakeries that make them using a yeast (vs. cookie) dough. Anyone know of any in NE NJ? I didn't want to restrict the thread by saying northern NJ b/c there may be other MOTs looking for them to, so let us know--where are your favorites?

Horse Racing in the Lake District and Cumbria
Cumbria and the Lake District provide plenty of entertainment for visiting horse racing enthusiasts. Cartmel racecourse is based in one of the prettiest villages in England, centred around a 12th century priory. Racing at Cartmel definitely dates back to 1856, but it appears that racing may have taken place as early as the mid-15th century, with local monks organising mule racing.
By the early 20th century the course had become a 'jump only' venue, in keeping with the hunting interests of the local population. Racing took place on just one day per year (Whit Monday) until the addition of the Saturday in 1947 and an August meeting introduced in the 1960s. Subsequently an extra Wednesday meeting in May and a Thursday in July were added.
Prior to the 1960s, few professional jockeys visited the course. However, the efforts of Colonel Davy Pain and Clerk of the Course, Tim Riley propelled the course from a small, holiday 'fun' venue to the forefront of National Hunt racing. Shrewd scheduling of race meetings for the May and August Bank Holiday periods has led to the small course rivalling major venues such as Aintree and Cheltenham, in terms of aggregate attendance.
Racing at Cartmel Racecourse, near Grange-over-Sands, where there's 6 days of quality racing per year
The old Grandstand was demolished in 2004 and the new development provides excellent facilities for jockeys and officials, along with updated restaurant and hospitality facilities. Whilst the management are anxious to continue Cartmel's development as a corporate venue, they also recognise that it is essential for it to retain its unique charm. Cartmel racecourse is about 10 miles from junction 36 of the M6, along the A590 / A591 towards Barrow in Furness. It is well signposted from the motorway, but the last few miles are through narrow country lanes, so racegoers are advised to allow plenty of time for the journey.
Fans of National Hunt racing may also enjoy point to point steeplechasing at Whittington Races, near Kirkby Lonsdale (between junctions 35 and 36 of the M6). The point to point course for the Vale of Lune Harriers and Holcombe Harriers hunts, Whittington has hosted racing since 1936. Its setting is idyllic in the heart of the Lune Valley and the course hosts two or three meetings a year around Easter. Admission is charged per car, rather than per person, making for excellent value entertainment. The entire course can be viewed from the main car park, which makes it popular with picnickers. There are plenty of bookmakers and a Tote outlet for those fancying a flutter, while other attractions include a champagne / seafood bar, licensed bar, refreshment stalls and a children's fairground.
Further north, just off junction 42 of the M6, Carlisle Racecourse provides racing every month of the year, staging national hunt meetings from September to April and flat meetings between April and August. Horse racing in the historic border city of Carlisle dates back to at least the 16th century and the annual Cumberland Plate and Carlisle Bell races carry on a tradition dating back to that era. Notably, Carlisle launched the first operational Tote on a British racecourse in 1929. Interestingly, Red Rum was successful at the Carlisle September meeting preceding each of his three Aintree Grand National successes.
Horse racing in Cumbria and the Lake District can provide an entertaining way of whiling away an afternoon with family and friends. Armed with the appropriate horse racing betting tips, it can be profitable, too.

Posted By Paul Tate, April 13, 2015 at 9:10 AM, in Category: Factories of the Future
By Paul Tate and David R. Brousell
Even on the first day of this year's Hannover Fair, the world's largest industrial event, some clear themes began to emerge about the future of manufacturing. What they all have in common is they presage a very different world for manufacturing than we have right now – a world in which digital technologies are deeply embedded and in abundance.
Almost everywhere across the 26 halls and 6,500 exhibitors at Hannover this year you can hear the mantra of Industry 4.0 -- Germany's industrial vision of a future for manufacturing in which pervasive connectivity, sensor networks, cyber-physical systems, and increased production flexibility promise to drive the creation of ever-more customized and smarter products.
To turn this vision into reality, of course, will demand new levels of digitization, automation, and integration within an enterprise, and many new areas of technical and software innovation.
Here are just some of the highlights we spotted on Day 1:
- Festo's Bionic Learning Networks
Undoubtedly one of the most visually-impressive stars of this year's event, the digitally-driven robotic insects and butterflies that use collective intelligence to perform collaborative tasks provide an early insight into how natural models of behavior may someday dominate the way machines and networks operate across tomorrow's factories.
Part of a futuristic Festo R&D program, the partially 3D-printed BionicANTS communicate with each other to coordinate both their actions and their movements to achieve cooperative tasks. Each ant takes autonomous decisions but is always subordinate to the common objective.
The electro-mechanical e-Motion Butterflies, meanwhile, autonomously coordinate their flying patterns using indoor GPS, a collection of spatial infrared cameras and controller, plus on-board guidance and monitoring systems so they never collide. The expression on the faces of Hannover Fair attendees as the butterflies soar gracefully overhead the corridors is testament to both their technical ingenuity and lightness of design.
Festo's airborne innovations even stunned the guests at the Hannover Fair's Opening Ceremony on Sunday night, with a flotilla of intercommunicating floating spheres hovering in coordinated patterns above the VIP audience.
- SmartFactory's Plug and Produce Approach
Pioneering German research initiative, SmartFactory KL e.V., and the German Center for Artificial Intelligence demonstrated how the Industry 4.0 concept can be integrated into existing industrial applications. Working with 15 industrial companies, SmartFactory showed a modular production line based on standards that use a "plug and produce" principle to enable expansion.
- Harting's Customized Production Line
Though still in development, Germany's Harting Technology Group is showcasing a prototype modular factory line able to create individually customizable products with the speed and efficiency of mass production volumes, says the company. Called the Harting Integrated Industry 4 You (HIIA4YOU) project, it connects an eShop customer selection system, with an SAP ERP network, and finally the production and assembly machinery in a three-cell production line.
- Volkswagen's e-Golf and Factory Powerwall
In the belief that digital networking will become an essential part of the auto industry in the future, Volkswagen featured a number of digitally-driven production and product developments, including augmented reality systems that show where specific parts are installed in the body of a car, the e-Golf electric vehicle which features wireless charging and a digital key that can be operated by smartphone, and what it calls the Powerwall – a virtual wall screen, adapted from a similar technology used earlier in vehicle design and engineering, that now allows factory teams to simulate a plant and plan and refine an entire production process for a new product in a virtual world before any physical changes are made to the factory itself.
- ABB's YuMi Robot
ABB showed its new YuMi robot, a so-called collaborative assembly system that is designed to work safely alongside human beings, a requirement of the Industry 4.0 philosophy, ABB said.
YuMi – which stands for "you and me – we work together" – combines a vision system, grippers, touch-sensitive sensors, software, and integrated safety components in a form factor that weighs 38 Kg and consumes one square foot of space. YuMi is designed for consumer product manufacturing applications such as electronics, phones, and various small parts. It carries a base price of about $40,000, ABB said.
Watch out for more innovation highlights for this year's Hannover Fair in the days ahead.

|Wild Borneo – Join us as we team up once more with Evolve, Move, Play to develop a pioneering new adventurous retreat in the the lush primeval rainforests of Borneo – learning jungle survival skills and exploring the natural movement potential of learning how to move fluidly through the forest, whilst mastering the skills and techniques required to travel in this vibrant tropical environment.
|Wild Namibia – Woodsmoke is collaborating with Born To Run to capture to the essence of what is required to run and track like our ancestors, mastering life in the desert biome. Focusing on the endurance running hypothesis, a perfect blend of running and tracking, we are asking the question – does today's Westerners have what it takes to learn to live in the African veldt, become effective trackers and run the equivalent of a persistence hunt, the way their ancestors once did to survive?
|Panama Tropical Island Expedition – Based on an uninhabited island in the Pacific, you will be guided through the skills need to make this island your home. Your base camp will be situated in a crescent shaped cove lined with coconut palms and you will fall asleep listening to the sound of the Pacific waves gently lapping on the fine white sand and the rustle of palm leaves. You will learn to use the tools of the environment to make shelters, open coconuts, set gill nets and start fires to cook delicious tropical meals.
|Jungle Bushcraft Expedition – Join us as we venture deep into the emerald interior of Borneo, the oldest jungle in the world, to meet the last of the island's hunter-gathers – the tribal Penan peoples. You will travel through some of the wildest rainforest on the planet; learning jungle-craft from the Penan tribe who have retained, and continue to adapt, their traditional ecological knowledge and jungle-lore. This is an authentic, well 'off the beaten track' adventure that very few individuals have the chance to experience.
|Sub-Arctic Bushcraft Expedition – Join us on this inspirational 8-day snowshoe expedition, where you will traverse frozen waterways through the uninhabited interior of Ontario's sub-Arctic taiga forest. Travelling on foot, we pull all our gear and supplies on traditional hand-built toboggans; packing a trail through the winter wilderness.
|Expedition Skills Training – The aim of this dynamic and unique training programme is to provide a solid base of wilderness-proven skills, from UK's three leading providers of off road driving, bushcraft and expedition medical training. This in-depth expedition skills programme is ideal for expedition leaders, film crews, doctors, anyone planning an adventurous expedition, or for those wishing to build their CV with a view to working professionally in the eco-tourism and adventure travel industry as an expedition leader or guide.
|Woodsmoke's Wilderness Expeditions focus not only upon where we travel, but just as importantly upon HOW we travel. These journeys arise from the interests and experiences of bushcraft and survival expert Ben McNutt, and ethnobiologist, ethnobotanist and anthropologist, Lisa Fenton, who, together, have been leading groups overseas in arduous environments since 2002. Lisa and Ben are passionate about the traditional knowledge of local, traditional and indigenous peoples who have retained the bio-cultural, spiritual and material relationship to diverse natural landscapes that they skilfully inhabit. Our journeys aim to bridge Western techno-driven practices of traversing and surviving in remote (often considered hostile) landscapes, and the deeply embedded traditional environmental knowledge of local indigenous peoples that enables them to live with a close relationship to their natural surroundings.
Each journey has been carefully reconnoitred and represents a balance between challenging and achievable for those with a healthy fitness level and a willing attitude. They are far, far from the tourist track in every sense, and whilst we work closely with local, indigenous experts and wilderness specialists, our expeditions are always hosted by at least two experienced and qualified Woodsmoke instructors. Every expedition will take you along a journey that transports you into the very heart of the landscape, while acquiring skills for living, traveling and simply 'being' in each ecology.
Woodsmoke Expeditions are NOT guided tours, adventure travel holidays (such as Exodus) or hiking holidays. Rather, they are wilderness bushcraft expeditions and are therefore more akin to an 'unsupported' remote expeditionary team, in which we aim to equip you with the skills for self-sufficient wilderness travel. The nature of remote locations, variable climatic conditions, and exotic peoples with diverse cultural practices, requires that each expedition is variable, as we necessarily adapt to the particular circumstantial conditions – this is part of the skill of remote travel. A Woodsmoke expedition is challenging and adventurous, it is NOT entirely predictable or rigidly organised. However, we do follow itineraries and guidelines for each expedition. Woodsmoke Expeditions adheres to, and obtains, the best globally available emergency evacuation procedures for every location that we work in. All our instructors are fully medically qualified for remote wilderness environments. However, these expeditions can put 100's of miles of arduous terrain and extreme climatic conditions between you and the nearest professional medical centre, therefore it is possible that professional help may not be immediately available. Therefore, whilst you are in the hands of professional guides and local experts, with the best medical and casi-vac procedures available, these journeys require a level of personal commitment, awareness and responsibility to yourself and your group.
