The more than 500 members of the Central Florida Raw Food Connection, including many from East Orlando, learn how to make raw dishes like kumquat cheesecake and no-bake vegan spaghetti and meatballs, ask questions about vitamin deficiencies and take field trips to events like mango festivals.
Raw is a diet consisting mostly of raw and foods cooked at temperatures no higher than 125 degrees (degrees vary from 105 to 125 depending on personal belief). The premise of the diet is that the living enzymes in raw food that help in digestion are damaged when the food is cooked.
Some reported benefits to the diet are increased energy and stamina, weight loss, and even relief from such afflictions as high blood pressure and cancer.
Olive Mackey’s diet consisted mostly of meat and potatoes. She even avoided lettuce and tomatoes on her cheeseburgers because she hated the way they slid off the bun. She regularly visited a chiropractor for achy muscles and a myriad of health issues including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, poor vision and dull hearing.
Seven years ago she attended a lecture on the 10 most deadly foods — all of which were featured stars in Mackey’s diet. She was determined to change.
In searching for the best diet, she stumbled upon raw foods. She tried the diet for 30 days, during which time her body underwent an intense transformation. She shed 20 pounds — 117 overall since adopting the diet — was able to stop taking her high blood pressure medication, strengthened her hearing and vision, and had a ton of energy. She remembers the “fabulous” taste of cooked food, but said the health benefits of raw food far outweigh the flavors lost. “I thought raw food was only salad. I could not imagine what else there was,” she said. The goal is to make it tasty, said Joe Diaz, owner of Café 118, a Winter Park restaurant that does not cook food over 118 degrees. The restaurant’s concept is to make raw food available and appealing to all walks of life — herbivores and carnivores, alike. He hopes to make raw food the next sushi craze.
“Years ago a lot of people did not eat at sushi restaurants because it was just a slab of fish on your plate,” he said. He found a way to make raw more appealing to the average consumer, successfully luring in all kinds of people with dishes like vegetable lasagna, zucchini and carrot noodle pad Thai, and nut-based mint-chocolate chip “ice cream.”

Priti Patel demands that shoplifters stealing items worth less than £200 are prosecuted after complaints thefts are being ignored by police
- A study of 3,500 retailers revealed that abuse towards workers had increased
- There is a feeling that complaints of minor thefts are being ignored by police
- Some shops have now even resorted to private prosecutions to pursue thefts
- Now, the Home Office will write to police chiefs urging them to prosecute thefts
The Home Office will write to police chiefs urging them to prosecute shoplifters who steal less than £200 of goods, in a bid to tackle violence against shopkeepers.
The news comes as it was suggested supermarkets and convenience stores may be resorting to private prosecutions to pursue thefts after complaints they are being ignored by police.
The move is the result of information provided by nearly 3,500 retailers, trade associations and unions which suggested abuse towards shop staff had increased, with a 'significant number' saying they did not report incidents to the police.
Home Secretary Priti Patel's department will write to police chiefs urging them to prosecute shoplifters who steal less than £200 of goods
Currently, there is a feeling among shop owners that they are being ignored by police when reporting thefts
The crime and policing minister Kit Malthouse will write to police and crime commissioners and chief constables 'underscoring the importance of working closely with local businesses to tackle this issue and emphasising that the theft of goods valued up to £200 from a shop should be prosecuted as a criminal offence,' the Home Office said.
The department has also pledged to work with the National Retail Crime Steering Group (NRCSG) on ways to support staff in reporting crimes.
Mr Malthouse said: 'Shopworkers are the beating hearts of our communities and violence or abuse against them is utterly unacceptable.
'We are determined to drive down these crimes and crucially, ensure that shopworkers are fully supported in reporting incidents to the police.'
The crime and policing minister Kit Malthouse will write to police and crime commissioners and chief constables
According to law firm Fieldfisher, police forces were no longer responding to, or investigating, most thefts below £200 unless there was a threat of violence towards staff and shops were considering private prosecutions as a result of public prosecutors being under strain.
The firm said anecdotal information it had gathered indicated many stores no longer report offences to the police, and instead are issuing exclusion orders, banning people from their stores.
It added that the Association of Convenience Stores Crime Report 2019 estimates the number of incidents of shop theft has increased significantly over the last year, costing an estimated £246 million in 2019, equivalent to over £5,300 for every store in the UK, or what amounts to a 7p tax on every transaction.

Kim Kardashian Heidi Montag Playboy Posin’ Advice
Celebrity canker sore Heidi Pratt has yet to confirm reports that she will be fug up the September issue of Playboy Magazine with her first nude centerfold, but former Playboy cover girl — and fellow reality starlet –Kim Kardashian says Heidi recently gave her a call seeking advice on posing for the notorious men’s mag.
“Actually, I was in Mexico and I got a call from Heidi saying, ‘Call me right now.’ So I called her and she had said, ‘What do you think, what’s your opinion if I were to do Playboy…?'” the brunette tells MTV News of the odd phone call with Heidi.
“And I said, ‘You know what? Go for it. I think now is the time. I think it’s a very classy magazine and it’s very artsy and it’s whatever you want it to be.’ So I talked her through the process and helped her make up her mind on posing for Playboy….” says Kim, who adds that she is “anxious to see” Heidi’s layout.
“I think she’ll be fine — she has a good support system.”

Independence is mostly supported by indigenous males, while descendants of colonial settlers continue to insist on belonging to France. Under the Nouméa Accord, an independence referendum could be held three times, always on the condition that at least one-third of the members of the legislature support another call. The first was in 2018, the second was in October last year, and the third has now been announced. In the first, 56.4% rejected independence, and in the second, only 53.3%, and closer results are now expected, according to opinion polls.
After this was the last chance, according to Reuters, there are fears of riots as a result.
Complicating matters is the fact that chicken leaders have asked their members not to vote because the community is still mourning its members who died in the coronavirus pandemic. The mutated delta virus suddenly claimed many lives in September, striking chickens in particular. The natives declared a year of mourning. An unnamed journalist says the call is useful. According to data from the French embassy, only 30 percent of those eligible to vote by Sunday noon had cast their ballots, compared to much higher in previous polls this hour.
French President Emmanuel Macron previously stated that no matter what result will be achieved in the end, it must be accepted by everyone. However, New Caledonia is the hopeful base for Macron’s plan to increase its influence in the Pacific.
During colonial rule, canoes were confined to reserves and virtually excluded from the affairs of the island, against which they first revolted in 1878, shortly after the discovery of huge nickel deposits in the archipelago, which are now being mined by a French company.

Liberty Hall Theatre Dublin is located on Eden Quay in Dublin and is home to many fantastic events including pantomimes, plays, operas, comedies, films, and festivals from across the world.
The modern Liberty Hall opened in the early 1960s. Built by the T.G.W.U as a facility for the union. The hall itself was originally a 700-seater flat-floored venue on two levels with a small proscenium stage.
The venue was mainly used for Union Meetings but plays, set dancing and bingo were regular events. The Irish Folk revival of the 1960s found a willing home here.
Today, the Liberty Hall Theatre, which is in the main auditorium, has a capacity of 411 on two levels. The stalls have 317 seats and 3 wheelchair spaces whilst the balcony has 91 seats. The seats are set on a sloped floor in the stalls and stepped in the balcony. A public lift is available from the lower foyer area to the first floor and the stalls but not the balcony.
Pram Access: They reserve an area in the downstairs foyer to park prams for the duration of the show free of charge. The usher staff will be on hand to assist & ensure these items are looked after.

The “Garden Egg Chair” turns 50
From February 6 – March 11, 2018 the Adam Brussels Design Museum in Brussels is hosting an exhibition entitled “Peter Ghyczy: 50 Years of Functionalism”. The world’s first solo show on the work of the Hungarian designer places his iconic 1969 design for the “Garden Egg Chair” firmly center stage. For the weatherproof outdoor seat Ghyczy experimented with polyurethane and then came up with a foldable, egg-shaped model that still enjoys cult status today. In addition, he developed a method for clamping metal and glass together, something that was to pave the way for furniture without frames.
The retrospective illuminates Peter Ghyczy’s work across no less than five decades and highlights his role in late-20th century design history. A key theme is the trained architect’s constant endeavor to find an elegant design through his occupation with materiality: “My design works focuses on function, it is based on technical solutions that I apply in a different way,” explains Ghyczy. Since 1971 he has been busy designing furniture, luminaires and design objects under his own “Ghyczy” label.

Does Kylie Jenner's Birthday Party Beat the Other Kardashian Birthday Parties? She Wishes
In addition to the Teen Choice Awards, the weekend also marked Kylie Jenner's 17th birthday. It can be shocking to realize that she's only 17 years old considering Kylie Jenner has already written a book, done some modeling, had a reality TV show, and become richer than you'll ever be, but the youngest of the main Kardashian clan achieved all of that success without even being legal yet. If you're done feeling inadequate, let me make that feeling a little worse by pointing out that while your idea of a successful birthday is probably a good cake and no one getting drunk and bursting into tears, Jenner's 17th birthday party was a huge bash that featured guests like Chris Brown, Tyga, Justin Bieber, and The Game among others.
However, despite the fact that Jenner's birthday party took up the entire weekend from a pre-birthday party on Saturday thrown by Tyga to appearing at the Teen Choice Awards and following that up with a birthday dinner at Nobu Malibu on Sunday, it still doesn't win the award for the most extravagant Kardashian birthday celebration of 2014. With over half of the Kardashian women having had their birthday parties already, where exactly does Jenner's party rank on that list?
4. Khloe Kardashian's Party
It's already been established that Khloe Kardashian's party was kind of lame, but that wasn't Khloe's fault. Her birthday came not long after North West's first birthday and she couldn't help getting overshadowed by Kim and Kanye West going all out in their effort to give their daughter the most memorable birthday of her life. Sure, Khloe's party was catered and the Kardashian clan almost out-Kardashian'd themselves on the selfie front, but otherwise it was pretty forgettable.
3. Kourtney Kardashian's Birthday Trip
We mere mortals might have to save up and plan things far in advance if we want to go anywhere ever, but Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick flew to Cabo to celebrate her 35th birthday. Jealous yet? They spent the whole time hanging out on the beach, according to photographs, and while that might not seem as impressive as Khloe's giant cake with sparklers on it they get bonus points for changing the location of their party. Also, Cabo.
2. Kylie Jenner's Weekend Bash
Her choice of guests — Justin Bieber? Chris Brown? — might not be too thrilling, but Kylie's birthday was two days long and didn't even let a little thing like the Teen Choice Awards get in the way of celebrating it. Despite being lucky, or unfortunate, enough to turn 17 years old the same day she had to appear at an award show, Kylie still managed to beat out two of her sisters on the birthday party front. However, all the Kardashian-Jenners still lose out to...
1. North West's Birthday Festival
Kim and Kanye West threw North West a Coachella-themed birthday party called Kidchella. That can't be said enough. For North's first birthday, they threw her an entire festival-themed party with a ferris wheel, a custom-made dress, and a rainbow birthday cake. All the other Kardashian-Jenners can go home because they are utterly failing at topping any of this. Then again, Kim doesn't celebrate her birthday until October, so time will tell on whether or not she'll allow herself to be overshadowed by a 1 year old.

However, You may Also ask yourself what small clothing is or are you sporting a modest dress. The clothing is deemed modest if it’s loose fitting and covers significant body parts. Colors are also another element that you’ve got to think about and for spiritual people blue, brown, white and black are suitable colors while the brighter ones such as pink, orange and red aren’t. But various religions have their own color preferences.
Catholic people for The Orthodox Jewish girls should wear headscarves and should from clothes that are too tight and show off parts of the body such as elbows, knees and arms. Muslim women also practice small clothing by wearing something which covers their whole body excluding the hands. Faces are covered or not based on the beliefs. But due to the influence of the Western world, modest clothing is slowly being disregarded nowadays.

Students and higher education personnel in Iran continue to face routine and pervasive violations of their rights on the basis of their opinions, gender, religion and ethnicity. The Network for Education and Academic Rights, an independent non-governmental organization that monitors academic freedom, documented at least 92 violations of academic rights in Iran in 2011. According to the largest independent student organization in Iran, Daftar-e Tahkim Vahdat, between March 2009 and February 2012, there were at least 396 cases of students banned from further study by the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology as a result of their peaceful political or other dissent. Additionally, at least 634 students were arrested by security and intelligence organs and 254 students convicted for similar reasons, with the correlated impact on their ability to continue their education. The Ministry of Science, Technology, and Research declared Daftar-e Tahkim-e Vahdat an “illegal” union in 2009, on grounds that it “engaged in activities that endangered national security.”
The Iranian authorities have threatened, suspended, arrested, prosecuted, and sentenced student activists for peaceful criticism of government policies on a regular basis. Officials also have routinely shut down hundreds of student gatherings, publications, and independent organizations. More than 30 students are currently serving long prison sentences in Iran solely for exercising their rights to freedom of expression, association, and assembly by expressing their opinions, participating in demonstrations, or membership of an independent student organization critical of government policies. Combined, these students have been sentenced to more than 130 years in prison, in some cases up to 15 years.

Rumbaugh, Adams, Kim, Huganir: SynGAP regulates synaptic strength and mitogen-activated protein kinases in cultured neurons. in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 2006
De novo, heterozygous, loss-of-function mutations in SYNGAP1 cause a syndromic form of intellectual disability.
This is the first description of a special electroencephalogram phenomenon (normalization with eye opening) in association with SYNGAP1 mutations.
Syngap transgenic mice exhibited alterations in long-term depression and dendritic spine morphology.
Phosphorylation of synaptic GTPase-activating protein (show RASA1 Antibodies) (synGAP) by Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII (show CAMK2 Antibodies)) and cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5 (show CDK5 Antibodies)) alters the ratio of its GAP activity toward Ras and Rap (show LRPAP1 Antibodies) GTPases.
Reduced cognition in mutant Syngap1 transgenic mice is caused by isolated damage to developing forebrain neurons.
De novo CHD2 (show CHD2 Antibodies) and SYNGAP1 mutations are new causes of epileptic encephalopathies, accounting for 1.2% and 1% of cases, respectively.
De novo missense mutations, p.R579X, and possibly all the other truncating mutations in SYNGAP1 result in a loss of its function, causing intellectual disability, autism, and a specific form of epilepsy.
SYNGAP1 is a brain-specific protein (show TPPP3 Antibodies) that interacts with key components of the proteins involved in experience-dependent changes in glutamate (show GRIN1 Antibodies) synapses involved in learning.
We provide evidence that truncating mutations in SYNGAP1 are common in nonsyndromic intellectual disability and can be also associated with autism.
The C2 domain of SynGAP is essential for stimulation of the Rap (show LRPAP1 Antibodies) GTPase (show RACGAP1 Antibodies) reaction.
The authors present evidence that synGAP-alpha1 regulates the composition of the postsynaptic density by restricting binding to the PDZ (show INADL Antibodies) domains of PSD-95 (show DLG4 Antibodies).
Study found that Syngap1 mutations associated with developmental brain disorders disrupt a critical period of neuronal growth, maturation, and dynamics of dendritic structures known to influence de novo assembly of developing cortical circuits
inactivation of a single copy of syngap1 induced widespread early functional maturation of excitatory connections in the mouse neocortex
These data demonstrate that SynGAP protein acts as a critical developmental repressor of neural excitability that promotes the development of life-long cognitive abilities.
This study demonstrated the functional significance of SynGAP1 signaling in the adult brain by capturing several changes that are dependent on NMDAR (show GRIN1 Antibodies) and hippocampal integrity.
Overexpression of SynGAP alpha1 versus alpha2 C-termini-containing proteins in hippocampal neurons has opposing effects on synaptic strength, decreasing and increasing miniature excitatory synaptic currents amplitude/frequency, respectively.
SynGAP is an important regulator of the release of the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (show CALCA Antibodies) from primary sensory neurons and can modulate capsaicin-induced hypernociception.
Data show that deletion of SynGAP is associated with notable behavioral as well as morphological phenotypes indicative of hippocampal dysfunction.
The GAP activity of synGAP and its association with PSD-95 (show DLG4 Antibodies) are important for normal regulation of spine and synapse formation in hippocampal neurons.
The protein encoded by this gene is a major component of the postsynaptic density (PSD), a group of proteins found associated with NMDA receptors at synapses. The encoded protein is phosphorylated by calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II and dephosphorylated by NMDA receptor activation. Defects in this gene are a cause of mental retardation autosomal dominant type 5 (MRD5).

Moon government's nuclear phaseout policy imperils key company, parts suppliers
Two state-funded lenders last week decided to provide 1 trillion won ($825 million) in emergency loans to Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction Co., which is experiencing a credit crunch.
Doosan Heavy, the country's largest power generation equipment maker, suffered a net loss of 495.2 billion won last year. In 2016, it posted an operating profit of 280 billion won.
The company has made self-rescue efforts, including cutting out executives and forcing its 6,700 workers to go on unpaid leave at alternating intervals. But such endeavors fell short, and to ease its financial difficulties it was compelled to seek emergency loans from the Korea Development Bank and the Korea Export-Import Bank.
Borrowing 1 trillion won from the two state-run lenders seems far from a fundamental solution to the financial pinch faced by Doosan Heavy.
As of end-2019, the company was saddled with debts totaling 4.9 trillion won, of which 1.2 trillion won is set to mature within this year.
Doosan Heavy's predicament is attributable mainly to the policy of President Moon Jae-in's administration to phase out nuclear power generation in the country.
In 2017, the Moon government suspended the construction of two nuclear power plants, causing Doosan Heavy, which was supposed to provide key parts, to miss out on 2.5 trillion won. It also scrapped plans to build four other nuclear power plants, erasing about 4.5 trillion won in future revenue for the company.
Critics observe that President Moon has been misled by radical environmentalists and other left-leaning civic activists who exaggerate the danger of nuclear power generation.
It is absurd for the government to push a large, profitable manufacturer with international competitiveness to the brink of bankruptcy with its senseless policy and then spend a large sum of money to keep it afloat.
The nuclear phaseout policy pushed by the Moon administration since it took office in 2017 has resulted in the disruption of what experts describe as the nuclear industry ecosystem.
The number of parts suppliers for Doosan Heavy fell from 325 in 2016 to 219 in 2019, according to data recently released by an opposition lawmaker. The number of new contracts the company signed with parts suppliers plunged from 2,836 to 1,105 over the cited period.
The Korea Electric Power Corp., which provides electricity to factories, offices and households, recorded an operating loss of 1.27 trillion won last year, the second-largest since 2008, when the figure reached 2.8 trillion won. In 2016, the utility firm posted a profit above 10 trillion won.
Kepco has been pushed into the red as the government will not allow it to raise electricity fees when the cost of purchasing electricity is rising sharply, mainly because less electricity is being generated by the cheaper method of nuclear power.
The Moon government's nuclear phaseout plan goes against the global trend of expanding nuclear power generation, which is cost-effective and instrumental in cutting greenhouse gas emissions to fight climate change.
If not for the misguided policy, Korea's nuclear industry would have been poised to profit from the increased demand for nuclear plants around the world.
Korea's third-generation reactors have gained design certification from the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Korea is the only country outside the US that has met the strict standards of the commission.
The cost of building a nuclear plant in Korea is just half of that in France and a third of that in the US.
It is nonsense to let the world-class nuclear industry wither by adhering to an ill-conceived policy that lacks economic or scientific logic.
The resumption of construction work on the two nuclear plants, which was suspended in 2017, might be the first step toward redressing this misstep. It would also help the heavily indebted Doosan Heavy get back on track.
But the Moon administration seems adamant about maintaining its nuclear phaseout plan. It recently rejected a petition submitted by about 180 parts suppliers, asking it to resume construction of the two nuclear plants.
The decision to provide emergency loans to Doosan Heavy seems partly motivated by politics. The government wants to pacify voters in the southeastern region, where the company and its contractors are located, in the runup to the April 15 general election.
But without a fundamental policy shift, it will be impossible to sustain Doosan Heavy and the country's nuclear industry as a whole.

From the dark a loon calls. Soon the sun rises on a center-stage rock outcropping, seemingly carved into the mountainsides surrounding Lake George. As the stage light warms over the top of the outcropping, Max (Noah Galvin) enters, camera and tripod in hand, ready to film with the lake and the mountains as his mise en scene. Melissa (Anne-Marie Cusson) enters, dressed in a long black-cat cloak, blood-red vest, and a gray-silver bushy hair wig with a big moustache and bushy black eyebrows, looking like the genetic splicing of Groucho Marx and Albert Einstein. “Digital media, 11th grade, final project, scene 1, take 1,” Max states for the camera. “My name is Alfred Stieglitz,” his husky-voiced mother, directed to stand in sort of half Groucho slouch, states for the camera downstage of the rock outcropping, “I am an American. Photography is my passion. The search for truth my obsession.” Max directs, mom redirects and acts, and his project begins, three days before it is due.
While the filming of a school project is an unlikely through-line for Adirondack Theatre Festival’s current production, it is oddly engaging. This is the world premiere of Filming O’Keeffe. ATF commissioned it from playwright Eric Lane and workshopped it last summer; it’s the first production of the homegrown ATF Founders’ Fund for New Work. Filming O’Keefe is also in support of the Hyde Collection’s current exhibition, Modern Nature: Georgia O’Keeffe and Lake George, and Eric Lane wrote the play at Yaddo in Saratoga. ATF founder Martha Banta, raised in the Lake George area, makes her return here after five years to direct the play, so this synchronicity springs organically from the riches of the Adirondacks. For fans of ATF, O’Keefe, her husband and fellow artist Alfred Stieglitz, or Lake George history, Filming O’Keeffe is a bounty, full of inspection of both Lake George and the artists as inspiration for art past, present, and future, historically and theatrically.
The hermeneutics—Max’s and Melissa’s frequent monologues offer multiple interpretations—of Stieglitz and O’Keeffe center the play, sharply shown in the evolving relationships between Max, his mother, his long-absent father, his even longer-absent grandfather Martin (Martin LaPlatney), and Max’s spunky girlfriend Lily (Jessica Brown). Using the trope of making a film about Stieglitz and O’Keeffe as artists in Lake George could have been dull, but playwright Lane makes rich use of the Max’s family life and the changing culture of Lake George to mirror the complicated relationship between Stieglitz and O’Keeffe, their art and Lake George; their inspirations and personas engage. While Lane brings out the contradictions in the more famous artists’ lives and creations, he makes them human. He makes his theatrical characters humorous by Max’s precocious intellect and talent teased out by a convoluted family life; his parents moved to Lake George inspired by Stieglitz and O’Keeffe’s art created here, and they live where the actual artists lived. Their fictional lives have echoes and reflections of those of the artists. Max grapples with his desire to create art, his budding sexuality—his scenes with Lily are as truthful as they are achingly amusing—and the revelations about his father’s death.
Bold, quirky, and intelligent, Filming O’Keeffe will engage and amaze on as many levels as an audience will allow. Stieglitz and O’Keeffe would smile upon it.

SINGAPORE- Chicago soybean futures rose for a fourth consecutive session on Wednesday, trading close to their highest in more than five weeks, with shipping delays in the world’s largest exporter Brazil supporting prices.
Wheat rose 0.5 percent as concerns about potential crop losses in a key US growing region pushed prices to a more than one-month high.
“There are some short-tem supply constraints,” said Phin Ziebell, agribusiness economist at National Australia Bank in Melbourne. “We have to look at other commodities such as oil as well. If oil prices keep going higher, it is supportive for grains complex.”
The most-active soybean contract on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) rose 0.4 percent to $14.14-1/2 a bushel, having climbed to its highest since Jan. 15 in the last session.
Wheat was up 0.5 percent at $6.73-3/4 a bushel to near its session high of $6.76 a bushel, the highest since Jan. 20, while corn eased 0.1 percent to $5.52-1/4 a bushel.
Consultancy AgRural said on Monday that the soybean harvest pace in Brazil was the slowest in a decade. – Reuters

Here it is 2012 already! Fran and I discovered the faint remnants of a small trail section leading to the Crevices back in 2007 and then cut a trail twice it’s length up to the existing Beacon Hill Trail. We marked it in traditional Barn Red Blazes and hoped people would use it and join our effort to keep the trail open. It wasn’t long before the Park made an extreme effort to disguise our work, covering it up with an effort that must have taken a crew of men a week to perform. GEEEZZZ! Must have struck a nerve there! We cleared their destruction and go back to the Crevices at least twice a year to re-open the overgrown trail, and keep it open – although we don’t mark it with Blazez. In two years time, a trail into that area can become completely overgrown and unrecognizable. Our foot steps alone will not keep it open, it takes labor. Today we were fortunate enough to have found some younger people who were very interested in the discovery of a place like the Crevices, with a mind set similar to our own in understanding the need of maintenance along the way. When we brought them to the edge of the clearing – they were Astonished. Within minutes they were gone from sight, delving deep into the cavities of the earth. They would disappear under a rock and come up 300 feet away. Personally, I prefer Air, Sky and Light, I’m claustrophobic. But being so does not mean that I can’t appreciate the great treasure that is here, or see no reason to labor for years over a trail that takes me to a place where I cannot enter.
It was good to bring people to this place, and on our hike out we met 6 other people who were on their way in to the Crevices. I have never met anyone on their way into this place in the past four years, so it’s getting better. The people I took to the Crevices today, openly admitted that they could understand why the Park would rather not have this place known to the public, but they also expressed what a shame that is.
To get there with your pruning clippers: Starting from the Beacon Hill Trail, east of the old Stables, where a small stream crosses the trail at (N41 43.699 W74 13.825), follow the faint signs of a path down the hill to a large boulder at the base of the hill (N41 679 W74 13.729). From here proceed in an easterly direction across level ground to a large boulder at (N41 682 W74.13.710). Follow the faint trail on the east side of the boulder, over an old fallen tree and down through a natural notch to the right. From here the trail down the hill is highly visible and brings you to mostly level ground. Head east to a mid-way point of (N41 43.667 W74 13610) and / or continue straight ahead to (N41 43.632 W74 13.515) which brings you right to the edge of the Crevices area. From this point you can see out across the Crevices and go on to explore, but an entrance into the Crevices is about 300 feet to your immediate left at (N41 43.687 W74 13.507). This is the large boulder bridging the northern section of the Crevices that is depicted in the Photo Gallery of this Site. Follow: Photo Gallery> Paper Items> Menus and assorted paper> file 11 of 37 (crevicesplan.jpg)
If you don’t have a GPS, the trail is somewhat well marked every 50 feet with piles of stones. If you can’t find it, I’ll guide any responsible person with tools of trail maintenance.
Lake Minnewaska and surrounding areas as they are now.
Very well done, Tom. I plan on (finally) getting there. Unfortunately I am not now physically able to help with maintenance but I wanted to say thanks.

Minister Byrne welcomes Government decision to give green light to €1bn new children’s hospital
Minister of State for Communities and the National Drugs Strategy, Catherine Byrne TD, has today (Wednesday) welcomed the announcement by her colleague the Minister for Health, Simon Harris TD, that Government has given the green light for the €1bn new children’s hospital.
Today the Government approved the investment required to enable the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board to award the construction contracts for the building of the main children’s hospital on the St James’s Hospital campus and the two Paediatric Outpatients and Urgent Care Centres on the Tallaght and Connolly Hospitals campuses.
Minister Byrne said “This is fantastic news and the decision means that this vital project can now proceed without delay, to the benefit of all children in Ireland. I understand that site clearance work, which began last year, is almost complete and building works will start in the next few weeks.”
Minister Byrne, who is a local TD to the new children’s hospital, said; “The new hospital is one of the most exciting projects to come to the Dublin 8 area in a long time. It will bring a boost to the local economy and will provide opportunities for local employment. The NPHDB have been very clear from the outset that it is committed to being a good neighbour and to ensuring that there is local benefit from this fantastic development. We have all waited a long time for this new hospital and I am delighted that we are now at construction stage. I would like to thank all of those who have worked so hard on this project.”

Tonight, Chevrolet unveiled its new Chevy MyLink in-car infotainment package, which lets drivers control integrated online services like Pandora internet radio and Stitcher SmartRadio using either touch-screen menu options or voice commands to control smart phones via Bluetooth connectivity.
While Chevrolet has provided integration for portable media devices like Apple iPods in some models since 2006, as well as hands-free calling via Bluetooth, MyLink adds audio streaming and wireless control of smart phones.
The 7-inch color touch-screen display not only lets the driver control infotainment devices and other vehicle functions--like climate control--but also shows album-cover art via Gracenote, specific background graphic for each channel offered by the Sirius Satellite Radio, and other associated graphics.
Smart phones on wheels
GM's vice president for global product engineering, Karl Stracke, called Chevrolet MyLink "the next logical step for in-vehicle connectivity." It allows the car to become a "smart phone on wheels," in the words of the press release, by utilizing the mobile broadband capability of 3G smart phones.
The services include:
Not all smart phone apps can be used with MyLink. Chevrolet first has to validate them to ensure they are safe to use while a vehicle is in motion. Chevrolet will set up its own app store, from which MyLink users can download the approved apps, for free.
OnStar engineer demonstrates OnStar MyLink for mobile phone applications.
With the MyLink system offering voice control of smart phone apps, drivers will now be able to get turn-by-turn driving directions from online services like Google Maps.
That is, in effect, a fully automated replacement for the Onstar "blue button" that calls a human advisor, who then downloads turn-by-turn instructions into the vehicle's navigation or audio system.
Asked how Onstar and MyLink interacted or conflicted, GM head of infotainment engineering Micky Bly noted that Onstar had 15 years of interpreting and understanding spoken commands.
It worked with Nuance, he said, to provide what GM considers to be much better and more reliable voice identification than "the other guys" who provide similar services with some of the same partners.
That, clearly, was a reference to Ford's much-lauded Sync system, now expanded for 2011 into the MyFordTouch system that also allows voice and touch-screen control of audio, entertainment devices, phone calls, and vehicle systems.

Mario Balotelli and Manchester City . From the very start the pairing resembled a splashy but ill-advised wedding, the splendor of which couldn't mask the incompatibility of the couple.
On the one hand, there was Balotelli, who turned 20 the day the union was announced. The tempestuous but unfathomably talented Ghanaian-Italian striker already was flashing warning signs of his eccentricity and had been deemed uncoachable by his former manager. That would be Jose Mourinho, famed for his ability to handle difficult characters.
On the other, there was Roberto Mancini, who had preceded Mourinho at Inter Milan and now managed Manchester City. The former Italy superstar has a legendary temper and was known to be uninterested in nurturing players, instead using them as inanimate pieces in his grand game of tactical chess. Yet, Mancini was convinced he could change Balotelli.
In hopes of realizing towering ambitions, City had loaded up on superstars in anticipation of the 2010-11 season, meaning all of them would have to take a backseat to their peers as often as not. Balotelli, however junior he was, had long since announced in both word and deed his distaste for watching games from the sidelines.
The spark was put to the fuse, and two and a half seasons of fireworks followed. On Tuesday, AC Milan announced that it had purchased Balotelli for some $27 million, more or less what City had paid Inter for him.
When he was 3, serious medical complications to his intestines forced Mario Burwah's poor Ghanaian parents to give up their son, born on Sicily, to a wealthy foster family that could afford his care -- the Balotellis. He recovered, grew to a powerful 6 feet 2 and by his 15th birthday had made his debut in Italy's third professional tier.
Barcelona gave Balotelli a tryout but passed. Inter didn't. He played his first Serie A game at 17. At just 18 and 85 days, he scored his first UEFA Champions League goal. But as soon as his immense talent surfaced, so did his complicated character.
Balotelli's commitment and discipline were so lacking that Mourinho, whom Balotelli once allegedly scuffled with, saw no choice but to suspend him for long stretches of time. At City, the bad attitude and penchant for pointless fouls were joined by the strangeness. Just days after signing City, Balotelli crashed his sports car. When police arrived and asked him why he was carrying 5,000 pounds in cash, he replied with the disarming simplicity that would come to define his English tenure: "Because I am rich."
In the next two years, Balotelli would walk into a women's prison to "have a look around"; throw darts at a youth player; visit a high school to use the bathroom; get caught toggling on his iPad while on the bench for Italy; wear the jersey of Inter's arch-rivals AC Milan (somewhat presciently) on national Italian television; and set his own house alight with fireworks. There were reports that he gave a homeless man 1,000 pounds on a whim and confronted a bully on behalf of a young fan. Balotelli's outsized personality blurred the lines between fact and myth. Tellingly, when a (still unconfirmed) rumor surfaced that he had dressed up as Santa Claus and driven through Manchester handing people money, it struck nobody as implausible.
On the field, meanwhile, Balotelli was maddeningly rash and could be so savage in his tackling that ejections -- he was sent off four times in just 23 league appearances last season -- and further disciplinary action invariably followed. Yet his peerless pairing of athletic brawn and delicate touch made him instrumental in City's run to the Premier League championship in 2011-12. He scored 13 goals despite missing 11 games throughout the season because of suspensions. As if to underscore his incontrovertibility, he revealed an undershirt reading "Why always me?" after scoring a vital goal against crosstown rival Manchester United.
Yet through it all, Mancini unabashedly kept the press abreast of his exasperation with his pupil. Their relationship frayed right underneath the glare of the British media. Balotelli would refuse Mancini's outstretched hand when he was subbed off and head straight for the locker room rather than watch the remainder of the game from the bench, as is customary. On several occasions, Mancini declared him "crazy" and announced that he'd no longer be deploying him. Yet Balotelli always resurfaced on the strength of the irresistible promise his talent holds.
Not this time. An early-January shoving match with Mancini during practice, after Balotelli was told to leave but refused to, proved the final straw.
His legacy in England will be one of weaponized weirdness and of potential unfulfilled. Yet these turbulent times made him a cult hero in a country that craves them. And the spectacle was so sumptuous that his name was just as much of a fixture around the water cooler as athletes there on merit, such as Spanish league deities Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
If he achieved nothing else, Balotelli kept English soccer interesting and siphoned off some of the focus on Barcelona and Real Madrid's titanic struggle . Balotelli always got people talking. And therein lay a real value to the Premier League, in a counterintuitive sort of way, loath as it surely would be to admit it.
Perhaps the undershirt should have asked: "Are you not entertained?"

Being a computer user all my life was bound to catch up with me, and it did several years ago. One day, I started having constant pain in my wrists, hands and fingers. Having never experienced something like this before, I assumed it would go away, so I continued working as per usual for the next week. Unfortunately the pain did not go away and I was forced to cut down on typing and using my PC.
After seeing my doctor, he prescribed the usual RSI treatment, anti-inflammatory medication (Naprosyn), a wrist brace and as little typing and computer use as possible. I was also asked to do an EMG (electromyogram) to see if I had carpal tunnel syndrome, this test came back negative. I was also referred to a specialist which suggested further traditional treatment options, an operation (if even possible) or a cortisone shot, neither of which sounded too inviting.
After many months of the standard treatment and heaps of trouble performing day to day tasks at work, I decided to investigate alternative remedies to the problem. These remedies have helped me recover almost entirely after several months of use.
Obviously, the following suggestions may not work for everyone, but they certainly did for me. I have no association with any of the companies that produce the products mentioned below, my comments are purely based on personal experience.
- Traditional Medication: I stopped using the anti-inflammatory medication and continued to use the wrist brace. The wrist brace was used on bad days when I had a reasonable amount of pain.
- CT Cream (now known as Penetrex): I was extremely impressed with this cream, it offered an effective anti-inflammatory solution which is completely natural and has no known side effects. I found this immediately effective and calming, it actually is also helpful for other aches too.
- Myotherapy: A friend (Julia) is a myotherapist, which I went and saw for several weeks. She performed some deep massage and dry needling (similar to acupuncture). I found the deep massage extremely helpful in particular. Just follow the advice given to you by your therapist about water consumption and stretches and you should notice improvement.
- Powerballs: These little exercise devices are simply amazing! I would say that they played a huge role in helping my condition. They assist you with strengthening your wrists and getting the blood flow going to aid recovery.
- Cardio: Walking and cycling are extremely helpful in stimulating blood flood to hands and wrists. If you are over-weight, this is a good opportunity to lose a couple of kgs too. Having a healthy cardiovascular system assists with the recovery of RSI.
I hope that this information was helpful to someone out there :)

When this theater season in Boston and Cambridge draws to a close, I am confident that the current World Premiere of Eve Ensler's "In The Body Of The World," being presented by the A.R.T. at the Loeb, will continue to be talked about as one of the most impactful works of art. It is simply stunning in every aspect.
The Board of Trustees is the highest-level governance body of the World Economic Forum, the recognized international organization for public private cooperation.
“In the Body of the World” is not an easy book to read. There are horrific descriptions of the rape, torture, and mutilation of women and girls. But it is a necessary book to read for its fierce, passionate commitment to making the world a safe place for women.

Assemblyman Michael Montesano recently announced that the Hicksville Free Library, Bayville Free Library, and Bethpage Public Library will be receiving Public Library Construction Grants. The Bethpage and Hicksville libraries are getting $100,000 each to repair its out-of-date lighting system and major building renovations respectively.
“Our libraries provide access to vital information for the public, as well as play host to programs offering culturally enriching opportunities,” said Montesano. “These construction grants will greatly assist in providing the crucial infrastructure repairs our libraries need to continue admirably serving our communities’ needs.”
New York’s public libraries are in urgent need of renovation and upgrading. A recent survey showed a documented need for public library construction and renovation projects totaling more than $2.2 billion. More than 40 percent of the over 1,000 public library buildings in communities across New York are over 60 years old and another 30 percent are more than three decades old. Due to this, many of the state’s local public libraries are unable to accommodate users with disabilities, are energy inefficient, cannot provide Internet and computer and other electronic technologies to users because of outdated and inadequate electrical wiring and do not have sufficient space to house the library’s expanding collection, address the need for adequate meeting room, or provide for public access computers.
“We greatly appreciate Assemblyman Montesano’s assistance in securing funds from the Public Library Construction Grant. Here at the Hicksville Library, we are committed to continually improving the facilities to better serve our community,” said Roseann Acosta, public relations and programming representative for the Hicksville Public Library. “The renovations and relocation of staff to the new administration building has provided us with much needed space in the main building where we have begun the process of making vital improvements to library services.”
The Public Library Construction Grant Program is a $14 million capital-fund appropriation in the 2012 state budget for the construction and renovation of public libraries and library systems across New York State to address these issues.

A forecast for steady rain did not deter hundreds of children, students, faculty members and community residents from attending Hicksville’s Homecoming on Sept. 13 at Hicksville High School.
The day was full of festivities for everyone, including the High School’s traditional family fair, which was held across the backfield before the hometown Comets’ game against the
Levittown Macarthur Generals. The fair featured a variety of foods, games, a bouncy house and booths for various school clubs and many other attractions.

At 6 a.m. on a blustery Saturday morning 1,600 people arrived at Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park to participate in the 27th annual Runner’s Edge Tobay triathlon and tri- relay race. The participants were from all over Long Island, some from upstate NY, a few from out of state and were all ages and some even with disabilities but all came with one goal in mind, to finish.
The course starts out as a half mile swim in Oyster Bay Harbor, then a 9.3 mile bike ride through Oyster Bay, Laurel Hollow, and Cove neck which is very hilly but finishes with a 2.9 mile downhill to the finish. Then the riders have one more leg of the race which is 3.2 mile run through Mill Neck and Brookville, up to Planting Fields Arboretum and back down to Roosevelt Park to the finish line.

MP3 Frankie´s Dream - It Comes In Waves
This file is no longer available on Tradebit.
12 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Americana, POP: California Pop
Frankie's Dream is a true reflection of the bay area's colorful musical history. The groups influences have combined to create a familiar yet unique style that invites you in and makes you feel at home with its warm and appealing sound. While most of today's up and coming bands try to gain attention by being shocking or em
ploying candy coated productions to achieve success, Frankie's Dream relies on talent, integrity and sheer perseverance.
The band's namesake Frank Ellis has a rich musical background that began when he formed "The Mad Brothers" which mixed comedy in their shows and became very popular in the area. Their success led them to become an opening act for such stars as Maria Muldaur and Creedance Clearwater Revival. Frank's songs integrate his views on current events with a great deal of respect paid to those who paved the long and winding road before him. Guitarist and singer/songwriter Steve Keating's free-thinking family background instilled in him a passion for music, travel and living life to the fullest. While traveling in India he was inspired to begin writing his own material which after 20 years and many, many miles later continues to flourish. His original composition "Hall of Mirrors" won first place in Billboards songwriting contest in the pop category in 1996.
Bass player and backup vocalist Randy McGowan brings an abundance of musical expertise to the stage. His repertoire runs the gamut from rock to jazz, the blues, country, and even gospel. If it's a musical genre, he's played it! Much of Randy's career has been spent touring internationally while managing and producing many artists. Last but certainly not least, he continues laying down one of the most solid bass lines around.
Percussionist John Hasty began his musical pursuits playing keyboard but quickly realized that drums were better suited to his love of rhythm. One of the first bands he played in was also "The Mad Brothers". His early influences were groups with strong rhythm-based grooves which led him to include hand drums into his kit to achieve a warm organic sound. His steady and engaging style are an integral part of what makes Frankie's Dream a memorable and entertaining show. Whether playing in a local bar or a large venue Frankie's Dream's goal is to get their audience to relax, enjoy, and have a good time.
Vocalist and lead guitarist Normal Collins, a transplanted Midwesterner, singer, songwriter, and guitarist, started his professional career in Nashville. While pitching his songs and occasionally working as a session player, Collins continues working on his songwriting and performed in Nashville Clubs. After meeting Hank Ballard and recording in the Chess Studios in Chicago, Collins toured with Ballard, John Haitt and various other bands in the US. He finally ended up in Los Angeles, playing Top 40 funk music in Watts. A friend's need for a guitarist brought Norman up north to San Francisco. After leading various original band formations, Norman attracted the interest of multi-talented musician and producer Scott Mathews. The result of their collaboration is "The Man About Town", a timeless, entertaining and highly acclaimed CD.
