As a neophyte on the subject at hand, I can't say how many books are on the market on this subject. However, I've read one other (one I'm led to understand is famous in relevant circles, entitled "Psilocybin: Magic Mushroom Grower's Guide" by O.T. Oss and O.N. Oeric [pseudonyms / nom de plume for the McKenna brothers]) and I will say that I found this book to be a more beneficial read. Only part of the advantage of this book is to be found in its more substantial length. The McKennas' book was more narrowly focused on cultivation, and to the degree it touched on other aspects of psilocybin mushrooms, it engaged in a more mystical approach. What I liked about Bryant and Bouseman's book is that it takes a scientific approach and a pragmatic tone. Also, it seems to be one-stop shopping for anyone interested in the how-to of psilocybin mushrooms, even if one doesn't intend to cultivate one's own.
This book is divided into four parts. The first part of the book is designed to give the reader an understanding of what psilocybin mushrooms are, what varieties they come in, what effects they have, and how they can be safely used. It should be noted that this doesn't mean that the sum of all knowledge is provided. The authors repeatedly state that the best practice with respect to both foraging / identifying as well as consuming these mushrooms is to have an expert on hand. There is only so much that can be passed on by way of a book, and picking mushrooms as an amateur can result in deadly mistakes. (Which is not to downplay the advice to have an experienced guide, but knowing oneself goes a long way for an inexperienced consumer – whereas being an inexperienced forager can get you killed.) The book does provide descriptions and pictures for a variety of the most common psilocybe species to give the reader an idea of the differences. The first part of the book is useful whether the reader has any intention of engaging in fungiculture or not.
The rest of the book, is geared toward those who have an interest in how mushrooms are cultivated. Part II discusses the basics that might be employed on a small scale at little cost by an inquisitive beginner. There is more sterilization than one might expect, and the book describes the equipment (e.g. pressure cooker) and processes that must be applied. (Compared with gardening, with which I have a little experience, mushroom cultivation involves some amount of added complexity – though both this book and the other suggest it's not a daunting process. And for gardeners who can their produce, it's probably not much more extensive.) Part III delves into more advanced techniques for those who are considering growing on a larger scale, over a longer / continuous span, or outdoors. This book offers a number of more options on varying scales than the McKenna brother's book. However, the processes seem quite similar. That said, I can't really comment on the technical merits of any approaches to fungiculture, and I presume from the clear and well-written instructions that the authors know of what they speak.
The last part of the book discusses problems that one can run into with these processes, as well as the varying legality across the US and abroad. (The latter is bizarre and changing landscape. In many places having and consuming mushrooms is perfectly legal, but if the psilocybin or psilocin were extracted and put into a capsule it would become a Schedule I drug with immense potential consequences. Which is how it is where I currently live.) The last section also has sources for additional information.
The book has graphics (drawings and photos) as are quite beneficial in a book of this nature. I found the graphics to be clear and well-presented.
This volume collects two recently-translated novellas written by the Austrian author, Robert Musil. Originally published in Musil's native tongue in 1911, the novellas in question are: "The Culmination of Love" and "The Temptation of Silent Veronica." Both novellas revolve around a woman tormented by love relationships and indiscretion. In the first, the woman is haunted by marital infidelity, and in the second, the titular character is entangled in an unconsummated love triangle gone awry.
While I can't speak to how true the translations are to the original, I will say that the language is beautiful and is the highlight of book. However, these works shun story, and so readers of popular fiction will find them unengaging, and may come away thinking that the book's greatest feature is its brevity. I will say, that "The Temptation of Silent Veronica" was more pleasurable to read as it built up some tension. Readers of prose poetry may enjoy the play of words and emotional content of these novellas.
For readers of literary fiction and prose poetry, I would recommend "Intimate Ties." However, I suspect readers of popular fiction will find the book tedious. Particularly, likely to think so are those who pick up the book thinking it is romance or – even more so — erotica. While the themes revolve around love and relationships, the "action" is more in the character's mind than in the bedroom.
Because the world behaves oddly at a quantum scale when compared to the world we see (the one that is governed by classical physics,) many paradigms have been established to try to convey what is happening to non-specialists. These models are necessarily oversimplifications. A lot of what Ball does is to try to wring a tiny bit more clarity out of what goes on at the quantum scale by describing in greater detail what is true, false, or under contention about what we "see" in quantum objects. This is how Ball comes up with chapter titles such as: "Quantum objects are neither wave nor particle, (but sometimes they might as well be." Or, "Quantum particles aren't in two states at once (but sometimes they might as well be.)" The first half of the book is mostly spent trying to clean up the public perception of quantum mechanics a little. Completely clarifying the subject isn't yet possible. If it was, the value of such a volume would be minimal.
In the second half of the book, Ball gets into the influence of quantum mechanics on technology (and, in particular, tries to give the lay-reader some concept of what is being talked about when technologists talk of quantum computing.) He also explores some of the theories that are being pursued in the halls of academia to try to make sense of the parts of quantum mechanics that we can't yet wrap our heads around. This includes the many-worlds interpretation in which each ["decision"] event results in a schism of the universe, such that Schrodinger's — much misunderstood — cat isn't in a super-position of alive and dead, but is alive in one branch universe and dead in the other. The book ends with a chapter entitled, "Can we get to the bottom of it?" There is hope that once we are able to look at the subject from the right angle, it will all clear up. Humans do have difficulty making sense of scales that are smaller or bigger than those of our daily experience, as well as time scales shorter than we can notice or longer than we live. We are viewing the world through frames, and those frames create – in a sense – blinders. Some scientists hope that one day we'll be free of whatever frame (e.g. inability to experience all dimensions of space, time, or space-time) is limiting our capacity to understand the quantum.
As one would expect of this type of book, there are graphics, notes, and a bibliography.
My primary interest in quantum mechanics involves its implications (if any) for consciousness, and this is not a subject that Ball gets into in much detail beyond discussing Eugene Wigner's views on the subject and touching on the ideas of David Bohm. Wigner was a Nobel Prize-winning scientist who believed that consciousness caused wave-form collapse. It should be noted that there are many scientists who feel that there is no need to think consciousness exerts any influence outside the skull of the conscious one. However, it remains an open question, and it's not clear whether those who reject it have much better ideas or just have a knee-jerk reaction to that which might halt the onward march of the Copernican revolutionary norm. Though ideas at the interaction of consciousness and the quantum are not explored in great detail in Ball's book, I still found it of use for edging a little closer to what goes on at a quantum scale than past popular science books have gotten me.
I'd recommend this book for the non-physicist who wants a little better grasp on quantum theory. It's readable and helps separate wheat from chaff with respect to popular models of quantum mechanics.

Finally the cold weather has blown on through and with it comes all the culinary delights of the Autumn season.
We are busy picking mushrooms from the forest at our beloved Essington park and filling our cane baskets with pine cones… The pine cones are used as natural fire lighters when we come in from the cold and need to get the home fires burning as quickly as we can.
There are 3 different types of mushrooms we pick this time of year, the slippery Jack, saffron milk cap, and of course my favourite, the common field mushroom.
I love to take a combination of all three mushrooms, chopped roughly and thrown into a delicious creamy and earthy risotto.
We have a big sage bush at our kitchen door so I pick the leaves and sauté them in butter to top the risotto. It adds a lovely nuttiness and crunch to the end of the dish.
It's also good to keep it simple and sauté the mushrooms in butter, adding a little bit of garlic and a handful of freshly picked parsley and serving it on hot buttered toast for brekkie.
This dish take me back to my childhood… I have fond memories of my mum taking us kids mushrooming and cooking mushrooms on toast on a Sunday night… perfect!
My mum always put a slash of thick cream in hers right at the end which added a lusciousness and luxurious texture to the dish.
Keep an eye out in our stores for lovely dishes as we get creative with mushrooms. We have mushroom and Kale soup, braised beef with mushroom and red wine and of course mushrooms on toast… Just like my mum used to make.
Apples are also another great seasonal offering… We cut them into salads with oven roasted walnuts and a bitey cheese such as pecorino or Gorgonzola picante.
My apple pies and crumbles are also a treat. They are available to buy at Simmone Logue stores or David Jones nationally.
At the end of our fossicking day, with fires cracking and our bellies full, we sleep with dogs and cats… All rugged up in our hand knitted woollen blankets.. Ahhh!! Comfort!

It is home to The Sound of Music, and the music-lovers will find plenty to please their ears in Austria.
This is Europe's largest free open-air festival. Danube Island is taken over by music, theatre and cabaret acts for a weekend of full-on fun and an array of musical genres and star names including Bob Geldof and the Boomtown Rats.
There are 12 stages, 19 themed areas, or "islands", including a Festival Island, a Country and Western island, plus an Oldies, Hits and Folk Music Island. Rock on. Daredevils or the curious can visit the Action and Fun Island, where there's a bike show, climbing wall, high rope garden, plus a strongman arena featuring car deadlifting.
The city is alive to the sound of music at this summer festival in Salzburg, with opera, drama and classical concerts taking place across 14 venues. The play Everyman, performed (in good weather) on Domplatz Square, traditionally opens the festivities.
Then there more than 250 events from which to choose. Revel in Mozart's opera Cosi Fan Tutte, this year being performed in the Summer Riding School, or watch Beckett's play Endgame at the Salzburg State Theatre.
There are recitals of works by Haydn, Schumann and Beethoven as well as operas by Puccini and Strauss. Can't get tickets to every event? Don't worry. Many are beamed up on the big screen in Chapter Square.
The Bregenz festival, set up by Lake Constance in Bregenz in western Austria, is a special location in which to enjoy opera. The first week-long festival was held in 1946 and performances were staged on two barges.
Now it's a much more high-tech affair, with a floating stage, opera house, and workshops welcoming more than 200,000 visitors. This year, Puccini's Turandot will soar beside the lake.
Hamlet is being staged as an opera in four acts and works by Schubert, Beethoven, Donizetti and Mahler will be performed by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. There is also cabaret, Argentine tango and a children's festival with an emphasis on creativity.
Those who love the prolific Austrian composer Franz Schubert, who was born in Vienna, will adore Schubertiade – an annual celebration devoted to his work.
The name comes from Schubert's musical soirées, also known as Schubertiads, during which the composer would play his works to friends and family. Chamber concerts, piano recitals and orchestral concerts featuring well-established names in music, as well as new artists, will satisfy the most ardent fan.
The finale, at Schwarzenberg, is a chamber concert with both Brahms and Schubert on the menu.
This renowned jazz festival has mountains for its backdrop, is known for its contemporary and experimental jazz. This year's programme includes performances by Shake Stew, Mostar Sevdah Reunion, Edi Nulz, US artist Daniel Rosenboom and many more.
There are shows in the city centre as well as in huts in Saalfelden's mountains, so you can enjoy great music amid astounding scenery. There is also a children's concert on the Sunday for younger enthusiasts.
Snow-covered mountains make an inspiring and energising backdrop to this festival in the Alpine resort of Mayrhofen. The Snowbombing festival offers the dreamy combination of alpine exercise and great music. Ski, snowboard or flop about in the sauna by day.
Slide into live music sessions on mountain stages for your vin chaud breaks. And, when the last ski lift has delivered everyone home, head into the night, for music in a range of venues, from an igloo to a forest clearing.

Mu-hu-hu-wa-ha-ha! Can you survive these haunted houses?
Oct. 14, 2010, 6:57 pm
By LAURA ANDERSON
Dispatch - Argus
Strobe lights and chainsaws and fake blood, oh my!
Halloween is right around the corner, and haunted houses throughout the Quad-Cities are open. To help you get your scream on, I reviewed five houses this year -- four chosen at random, plus Torment at Twelve Hundred, which I rated the scariest last year. The top rating is 5 bats.
Rated #1: Torment at Twelve Hundred, Orion.
PG-13, gore; 7 p.m.-midnight Fridays and Saturdays, 7-10 p.m. Sundays through October; 5030 N. 1200 Ave., Orion. Open-toed shoes and high heels prohibited. (309) 945-5237, tormentwelve.com. $12.
I rated this haunt the scariest last year, and again this year, it didn't disappoint.
Because this haunt follows a story line, with a chapter added each year, rooms like the doctor's office and the asylum are almost the same as they were last year. Perhaps some new characters or a rearranging of the rooms could allow for their purpose in the story while making room for more screams.
At the same time, though, rooms like these are part of what makes Torment stand out. Its rooms and hallways are more permanent structures than most haunts are able to provide, and are more akin to those in amusement parks, rather than those of once-a-year haunted-house building conversions.
My favorite part about Torment is its layout.The creepy, wood-framed hallways with flickering lights connecting rooms and buildings are very reminiscent of underground tunnels in movies, and organizers creatively make use of spooky school buses. The variety of buildings themselves also is refreshing.
Sealing the deal, for me, was a certain ... character that chased me and photographer Stephanie Makosky down one of the many hallways. I don't want to give anything away, but that was definitely the moment that made me scream the loudest. And run for my life.
Rating: 4-1/2 bats
Walk with us through five Horror
Haunts in the Quad-Cities
Thursday, October 29, 2009, 9:30 pm
I could feel my heart pounding in my chest as I waited, ready to scream. Through half-closed eyes, I peeked down the hallway, trying to find a way out.
Big mistake.
The strobe lights distorted my vision as a girl ran toward me, covered in blood. I let out a scream and stumbled backward. Another girl in a fur-trimmed hood followed. "Stay with me," she pleaded.
This bone-chilling moment at Torment at Twelve Hundred, Orion, along with many others, filled my head as I visited five Quad-Cities area haunts. Cringe along with me through each one, starting with the scariest and most creative:
The minute I pulled in, Iknew this haunt would be worth the drive from Rock Island. It's a good thing, too, because being the city slicker that I am, the ride out in the dark on the winding country roads was enough to have me sweating with anxiety.
If you check out this haunt, come early. An 8:30 Saturday night line would have you waiting for at least an hour. I felt like I was at Six Flags, waiting to ride the latest roller coaster.
After I paid, I was briefed on the zombies in the woods by "Sheriff Hole" before I was turned loose to the groundskeeper. Each character I met played his or her role perfectly and made me feel like I was actually about to experience something horrible.
The groundskeeper said I reminded him of his great-grandmother, then proceeded to point to "her" in a creepy old photograph.
After some back-story about the property, I reluctantly made my way through a few buildings and down paths in the woods that connected each. It was misting and chilly, adding an eerie feel to the night.
Characters, mechanical props and animals hiding in the buildings had me screaming words not suitable for print.
I don't want to give too much away; you'll have to check it out for yourself.
If you aren't too scared.
Torment at Twelve Hundred
Be prepared for an experience that may reach into the depth
of your mind, where the true torment originates, and remember:
'The Realm of Darkness leaves us Vulnerable'
See you in October!!

It is well known that music affects our feelings and energy levels. We use music to create desired moods—to make us happy, to enjoy movement and dance, to energize us, to bring back powerful memories, and to help us relax and focus. Music is a powerful tool for our personal expression within our daily lives. It helps "set the mood" for the many important activities we engage in during the day.
Throughout time, people have recognized and intentionally used the powerful effects of music to their advantage. The scientific community has conducted research to validate and expand our analytical knowledge of music. This research supports what we know from personal experience: Music greatly affects and enhances our daily living activities and learning performance.
Research continues to be conducted to provide helpful guidelines for the intentional use of music in the learning environment. It has been found that relaxing background music creates a learning atmosphere that enhances learning perforrmance. Listening to relaxation music makes it easier for students to focus their mind while studying—thus making their hours of study more productive.
Using the relaxation music featured in this section, parents can orchestrate a learning environment that is rich and resonant—and provide students with a symphony of learning opportunities and a sound education!
The Feelings Song emphasizes the importance of developing a vocabulary of "feeling words" and using these words to better communicate.

Q: CoreAudio and Threads, how to? can I set up a separate thread for an AU Callback (which is in C)? How ? If so what threads methods is best for CoreAudio? NSThreads? NSOperationQueue? GCD? Something else?
Many thanks.

A: Isn't your AU callback already running in a separate thread? In most cases, I'd say let the OS handle that for you. UI always should be on the main thread, while Core Audio typically does its stuff on another thread.
I've only had experience with NSThread and pthreads, since I started before GCD and NSOperationQueue, and haven't had a chance to see if and how they work with Core Audio.

A: No, it is not possible, because:

A render callback lives on a real-time priority thread on which
  subsequent render calls arrive asynchronously. Apple

"A WALK IN THE WOODS"
A Walk in the Woods, based on Bill Bryson's best seller, was originally intended to be an onscreen reunion of Robert Redford and Paul Newman. It would have been amazing to see those two together again. Newman's illness and subsequent passing prevented that from happening. For years, it seemed as though the picture would never get made. Then Redford - also a producer on the project - got the idea to cast Nick Nolte. While nothing will ever top the Redford/Newman dynamic seen in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Sting, Nolte is indeed a fine substitute. That's good, because A Walk in the Woods is a fairly mediocre movie redeemed significantly by its performances.
Redford stars as travel writer Bryson, who seems to have hit a dry spell in his writing. One day, he decides that the cure for what ails him is to hike the Appalachian Trail. After all, his own country is the only place he's never written about, and what could be better than the great American wilderness? His wife Catherine (Emma Thompson) worries about him walking 2,000 miles on his own; she insists he take someone with him. That person ends up being old friend Stephen Katz (Nolte), an overweight recovering alcoholic. They hit the trail, with one wacky predicament after another ensuing.
While it has some pleasures, A Walk in the Woods feels like it's missing something, specifically a purpose. Other wilderness pictures - like Wild, 127 Hours, and Into the Wild - made it clear that their protagonists were trying to accomplish something emotional out there in nature. Granted, those films were dramas, not comedies. Still, they told very personal stories about what the characters learned from their journeys. In contrast, A Walk in the Woods is little more than a comedy about two old guys on a hiking trip. The humor is often akin to something from a '90s sitcom. There are jokes about their advanced age making it hard to navigate the terrain, their sex lives, the intricacies of defecating in the woods, and the quirky hardships they encounter along the way. There really isn't any depth to speak of.
Perhaps the best example of how the film comes up short can be found in its treatment of women. Emma Thompson is saddled with a generic Wife role. She expresses concern for Bill's trip, then disappears until the end. Mary Steenburgen plays the owner of a motel/restaurant the guys stumble across. Katz repeatedly ribs Bill about his attraction to her. He eventually responds that he's been happily married to Catherine for decades. There's potential for something interesting there, namely an exploration of how being away from his wife for months on end either causes Bill to feel temptation or solidifies his marital devotion. Neither really happens. Steenburgen is given nothing of substance to do, and in no way does her character seem to be more than a blip on Bill's radar. Time and again, the movie bypasses its chance to dig deeper by showing how this trek impacts the men's worldview. The most we get is a little routine third-act postmortem, just to make it seem as though the journey achieved something.
It may miss the big picture, but A Walk in the Woods nonetheless works fairly well as a comedy. Redford and Nolte work up a humorous chemistry as Bill and Katz. The former is prone to soulful self-meditation, while the latter is unrepentantly ornery. These veteran actors fully embody their characters, ensuring that we remain engaged with them throughout. Much of their dialogue sounds like a screenwriter's zingers, although that doesn't mean they don't occasionally land. In fact, several moments - such as a scene in which Katz attempts to initiate a sexual liaison in a laundromat - are quite hilarious. Same goes for a bit in which the guys awkwardly try to intimidate a couple of approaching bears. Kristen Schaal, meanwhile, steals several scenes as an obnoxiously overconfident fellow hiker the guys run into and can't run away from fast enough. Nick Offerman also gets a cameo as a sporting goods salesman who sells Bill a lot of top-of-the-line gear he probably doesn't need.
All in all, A Walk in the Woods is decent light entertainment; there's just no real meat to it. Without a strong thematic center, the movie can feel a bit repetitive at times - Grumpy Old Men in the wild, so to speak. But the scenery is beautiful, and it's hard to resist the chance to see Robert Redford and Nick Nolte clearly having such a great time working together. A Walk in the Woods is definitely more akin to a leisurely stroll than it is to a substantive hike.
A Walk in the Woods is rated R for language and some sexual references. The running time is 1 hour and 44 minutes.


Publishers can highlight content on their sites in order for search engines to know what specific words actually relate to by using structured data. Schema.org markup s basically a shared markup vocabulary which search engines can recognize through structured data. This is a form of optimization that is extremely powerful, but incidentally, least used for SEO purposes. However, if you can understand the utility of Schema.org, you can use it to boost your businesses; you can improve your site rankings in search engines. Schema.org is semantic vocabulary which you can place on your site for search engines to give more informative results back to its users.
How does Schema.org markup work?
Publishers can therefore include structured data on their websites to boost the content on Knowledge Graph cards; users can therefore enjoy multiple opinions and reviews. Critic reviews for local business can be accessed through mobiles, desktops, tablets etc and this allows the publisher to improve review-visibility so that reviews can be viewed by a larger audience. The publishers will select snippets from reviews of sites, annotate these and related businesses using the Schema.org markup. Through this process the publishers are able to inform Google about the snippets they prefer. They also indicate the URL related to the review as well as metadata about this local business; this in turn allows you to make sure that you are showing the correct review for the correct product.
How can the Schema.org markup boost local businesses on search engines?
Since Google is equipped to interpret different types of markup formats, it is easy to incorporate structured data concerning reviews onto web pages. In this way, publishers can successfully enable businesses and services to reach new heights. In the previous year, Google had launched such critic reviews in an effort to let browsers find what they were searching for. Recently, search engines have taken this further to local businesses such as restaurants. Earlier critic reviews used to be part of films, books and TV shows. But with this becoming part of Knowledge Graph, users can now experience a much faster way to get opinions from valuable and respected critics when it comes to deciding which book to buy or which TV show to view. The critic reviews would earlier be displayed on the right hand of any search engine result page highlighting the reviews posted by the top critics. But in mobiles, its positioning is far more convenient with it being displayed right below the business map and address information.
So, you can use the schema.org markup to include critic reviews about local businesses, whether it is cafes or florists, bars or restaurants, apparel stores or garages. Publishers can now include structured data on their websites easily and let users enjoy reviews at the click of a button. Updates are also available across multiple platforms like desktops, tablets and mobiles. This helps to increase visibility of such reviews significantly. This in turn promotes a better reach to a larger audience.
Any publisher is free to apply for getting critic reviews of businesses. In order to apply, the publisher from any blog or newspaper can apply to Google directly. The extension of such reviews to local companies works out rather well for publishers because they can earn prime search engine space and get high visibility, whether on mobiles or desktops. But when you are a local business owner, such as the owner of a restaurant, you are not any publisher and you cannot apply to display reviews. At the same time, since reviews from top critics will now become more prominent, your business will automatically benefit. As Google focuses on placing greater stress on the importance of reviews and as buyers become more and more competent to identify reviews from the credible sources relating to your business, you can create more effective strategies to answer to consumer feedbacks.

I'm never very good at answering this type of question, but I'll give it a try.
I think YA appeals to a broad audience b/c the stories make great escape reads. They're fast reads as well and you can a lot of reading done even with a busy schedule. For me, I can always trust a YA novel will interest me in some way, and if in the rare cases I end up disliking it, I would have only wasted a couple days versus a week or two (which is how long it can take me to read literary fiction books of the same length).
I think YA appeals more to people because it's more relistic. Most people have fallen in love or are not able to be with the one they love,they could simply be in some sort of love triangle. YA do have a lot of love but they also have a lot of adventure, mystery, fantasy,not realistic by the way, but it seems to just attract a wide variety of people not just young adults.
Because theres so many different types of YA not just one =) Thanks for the giveaway!
I think YA appeals to a broad audience because there's something out there for everyone. I'm a picky reader sometimes but in YA I can find anything that suits my tastes or mood at the moment. YA is a very versatile field that never dishes out the same types of stories, too.
I think YA appeals to so many people because it usually has a bit of everything. It has good writing, love, action, adventure, and so many other elements, whereas normal fiction is sectioned into love or action or romance.
They are also pretty easy to read.


Cornwall Air Ambulance has been awarded the Investing in Volunteers quality standard for the excellent work the lifesaving charity does with volunteers.
It is only the second time an organisation in Cornwall has achieved the prestigious national award*. The charity was assessed against a range of best practice standards and proved to excel in all aspects of working with its volunteers.
Jackie Eastwood, Cornwall Air Ambulance Volunteer Manager, said: "We call our volunteers our Groundcrew because the work they do is so vital in keeping the air ambulance flying to around 700 lifesaving missions each year. They truly are the heartbeat of the charity so we are delighted to be recognised for providing them with an environment in which they can thrive.
Volunteers play an important and varied role at Cornwall Air Ambulance, including working in charity shops throughout the county, collecting and counting money jars, giving presentations to schools and community organisations, staffing events and carrying out administrative work at headquarters. The charity's trustees are also volunteers.
To find out more, give Volunteer Manager Jackie Eastwood a call on 01637 889926 for an informal chat.
Investing in Volunteers is unique in that it is the only standard that focuses on volunteers. It is based on four areas of volunteer management – planning for volunteer involvement, recruiting volunteers, selecting and matching volunteers and supporting and retaining volunteers.
* Coastline housing is the other organisation in Cornwall to have achieved Investing in Volunteers.

Kyro Art Gallery
Created in 2018 resulting from a project by Antimo Pascale e Luigi Ciurlìa, both accretive for some time in the contemporary art world. The gallery is attentive to the work of both Italian and foreign emerging artist, as well as well-known names in the international arena. The Pietrasanta location will host three solo exhibitions and three group exhibitions distilled every year and concentrated around a stable of selected names. Among the many stand-outs include Daniele Salvalai, an Italian sculptor of the highest quality. Anila Rubiku, an Albanian artist who lives in Canada, Italia and Turkey, and who participated in Albania Pavillon in the 2011 Venice Biennale, and whose work is present in the most important international collections and museums.
Concluding with Korean artist Park Eun Sun, a protagonist of exhibitions featured the most important international and Italian cities with his monumental works.
Kyro Art gallery proposed itself as an observatory which is open to parallel languages, from painting to sculpture, from video to photography to installation. The gallery favours artist able to measure themselves in various media without genre distinctions.

Q: Linq To SQL Method with .Contains fails I have the below Linq To SQL Method.  When I step through the code spcCodeIDs contains the seven entries I am expecting.  However I get a run-time exception of
Method 'Boolean Contains(System.String)' has no supported translation to SQL.
What am I missing?
public static DataTable GetSPCCodeList()
{

    using (var context = ProviderDataContext.Create())
    {
        IQueryable<tblProviderAdminSPCCode> tSPCCode = context.GetTable<tblProviderAdminSPCCode>();
        IList<string> spcCodeIDs = BLLCmo.FCApprovedSPCsForGreenSheet();
        return (tSPCCode
                .Where(spcCode => spcCode.Inactive == null && spcCodeIDs.Contains(spcCode.SPCCodeID))
                .OrderBy(spcCode => spcCode.SPCCodeID)
                .Select(spcCode => new { spcCode.SPCCodeID, spcCode.SPCDescription, spcCode.SPCCategoryID }))
                .CopyLinqToDataTable();
    }
}

A: LINQ to SQL can only support Contains translations form a concrete list and not the IList interface.. try changing your line from
IList<string> spcCodeIDs = BLLCmo.FCApprovedSPCsForGreenSheet();

to
List<string> spcCodeIDs = BLLCmo.FCApprovedSPCsForGreenSheet().ToList();

A: You need to pass a string as a parameter to Contains.  So trying passing spcCode.SPCCodeID.ToString()

As a website design agency in Manchester, we have had the opportunity to help hundreds of businesses improve their website design and SEO. Along the way, we have seen some of the same website design mistakes again and again.
We'd like to touch on those points and explain why these mistakes make a big difference in your SEO and overall online business persona.
From making it difficult for your customers to buy your products to causing confusion about where to find necessary information, there are several ways you could be hindering your customer's experience of your website design in Manchester.
1. Your Website Design in Non-Responsive.
Responsive design is one of the most important features of your website.
When you realise that responsive design makes your website accessible to double the audience, it becomes pretty clear why it is important.
Today, people use much more than their laptop to search the web. In fact, more of them use their mobile device than a desktop.
This means your website should be easy to use and access via iPhones, tablets, and Android devices. If it's not, you could be in for a heap of trouble.
Optimise your website design for all devices and Google will reward you.
2. Your website runs slowly.
Another mistake is a slow running website. This isn't the early 2000s anymore. People expect a fast loading website, or they will assume yours isn't running properly and click off long before your page loads.
A good rule of thumb is to have a loading time of under four seconds. In one study, Google discovered that 70 percent of the websites that took seven seconds or more to load had a higher bounce rate. Three seconds is ideal if you want to keep people on your website.
While more complex, we as a website design agency in Manchester, page attention to these smaller details to ensure your website always loads quickly for your audience.
3. Using a bad font.
Another area of concern with the design is in your font.
So many people try to get artsy or creative with their fonts, but that's not what your users want. Cursive, hand-drawn scripts, and symbols are difficult to read and bad for usability.
Your number one goal should be to make the process of using your website easy on your user. Complex or weird fonts cause more problems than they are worth.
Don't confuse your visitors. Use a clear, simple font to communicate your message.
4. Your content isn't about your visitors.
Folks with little experience in content marketing often make the mistake of writing their content for the search engines, not for their audience.
The content they produce doesn't focus on what their visitors want, what their goals, fears, and problems are.
The result is a decrease in credibility makes it impossible for your visitors to convert into customers and thus your SEO goes down and you never meet your goal.
5. Your content is difficult to read.
Even if you have created good content for your audience, is it scannable?
Many companies don't understand the importance of scannable content in terms of design. Most people read about 30% or less of the content on your page.
However, this does not mean you should reduce the word count on your page. What visitors are doing is scanning the page for the answer or the piece of information they want to read.
Make your content scannable in a design format and your bounce rate will decrease.
Use short paragraphs, descriptive subheadings, highlight and bold where necessary, and get into bullet points for a better content layout.
6. Navigation they cannot control.
You might not think about navigation when you set up your site, but when it comes to website design in Manchester, we do our best to develop websites that are easy to navigate.
Animated navigation tends to be popular with folks who like a flashy design, but your audience hates it. That's because it makes the process of navigating your website more complicated than necessary.
In fact, most people abandon sites that have difficult to understand navigation.
Opt for more easy-to-use navigation for a better response.
Human beings are visual creatures. That's why bad photography is awful.
This includes generic stock photography.
Outdated or odd stock photography can confuse your audience and distract from your messaging. Photography that makes sense with the content on the page and enhances the messaging is what you're looking for in terms of design.
Photos should reinforce your brand, but generic stock photography can zap any good energy you may have going in your favor.
If you're ready to avoid these mistakes in your website design in Manchester, then give us a call. Our website design agency in Manchester has successfully helped countless businesses vamp up their design and we'd be happy to help you too.


After closely examining a video posted by model Gigi Hadid over the weekend, many have decided the eyes tattooed on boyfriend Zayn Malik's chest belong to none other than Hadid herself. What began as a simple boomerang of Malik dancing his heart out while wearing little more than an unbuttoned blazer has turned into a huge piece of celebrity news.
Why is this such a big deal, you ask? Because it's a holiday Monday and people are really struggling to find content. Oops! Why else, you ask? Because declarations of love tattooed on a famous person's body always make for compelling celebrity news items—especially if the love ultimately fizzles, leading the tattoo to be either lasered off or replaced with something else.
Neither Malik nor Hadid has commented on the tattoo, so this is all purely speculative. The eyes on Malik's chest could easily belong to someone else. Maybe they're his eyes! Maybe they're Harry Styles's eyes! Maybe he just asked the tattoo artist for generic eyes and has no intention of ever getting Hadid's anything permanently inked on his body!!

Review: We dined at Baja Peninsula for our 8th anniversary, because we had heard that it was a nice restaurant, not too pretentious, with good food. The restaurant staff was friendly and professional, and the restaurant seating area, while small, was warm and inviting. The decor was tasteful and elegant. A soft jazz music was piped in. We happened to arrive on half price wine night, so we got a bottle of wine. It arrived quickly and was served professionally. The dinner menu was not extensive, but the entrée choices were quite interesting. Bread was served with the wine, with three butter choices that were all unique. This is definitely not the kind of cuisine you can get elsewhere. I chose the stuffed chicken breast with asparagus risotto. My first bite of the risotto was heavenly. Mmmm, so good. The chicken was okay, but not near as spectacular as the risotto. The service was good, the food was good, and restaurant was quaint and inviting. I'd definitely go again.
Menu Recommendation: Roasted Herb Chicken with asparagus and mashed potatoes.


I caved and finally created a formspring account yesterday. I've only answered a few questions but it's kind of fun so far! My inbox is currently empty so if you have a question for me you can enter it in the box on my sidebar or by clicking here. Also if you have an account, leave it in the comments so I can follow you!
I don't have a question for you, but just wanted to let you know I found you through Presser Foot and I've been following your blog ever since. I love your projects!

Naming of University Facilities
With the liberalisationn of tertiary education, there has been an upsurge in private university colleges in the country. This has led to the opening up of the tertiary sector thus increasing access to university education by a significant percentage.
With this however comes the responsibility of ensuring high academic standards. In this respect, the regulating bodies, namely, the National Council for Tertiary Education (NCTE) and the National Accreditation Board (NAB) are mandated by law to ensure that the right standards are maintained.
Need for Affiliation
By the regulation as established by the NCTE through the NAB, private tertiary institutions are to seek affiliation from a chartered State university to be mentored. This mentorship is expected to provide direction and tutorship to the new private universities to develop the appropriate systems and structures that will enable them to deliver at the
In the light of this, chartered State universities are required to play their part in offering to accept private university colleges for mentorship. This way the NAB can grant a private a private university college the accreditation to mount academic programmes.
Philosophy of KNUST Affiliation
In the light of the foregone, the KNUST finds itself in the thick of affiliation affairs. It is a public State-run chartered university and so it feels obliged to offer to mentor private university colleges. The KNUST, therefore, regards affiliation as a call to national duty to help mentor university colleges, as a social corporate responsibility and a way of helping to increase access to tertiary education for national development. This is in line with the University's vision and mission statements.
Given that the KNUST is a science and technology institution, it opens its doors to private universities desirous of mounting programmes in the sciences and technology. However, it offers mentors in the areas of health and the humanities, as well.
University Affiliations Office
At the KNUST, an office has been established dedicated to affiliation. This office coordinates the affairs and activities of institutions affiliated to the KNUST. Some of the major activities of the office include ensuring that the appropriate reviews are done prior to approval of applications, organizing and servicing the Liaison Committee, organizing workshops, seminars and other for a for capacity-building for various categories of staff of mentee institutions, being part of the planning and execution of ceremonies in mentee institutions and, above all, being the liaison between the University and its affiliates.
The office is manned by an Assistant Registrar also commonly called Affiliations Officer.
Types of Affiliation
There are basically two types of affiliations, namely, Institutional Affiliation and Programme Affiliation.
For an Institutional Affiliation, the private university seeks to be mentored as an institution together with its academic programmes and so it adopts the systems, structures and processes of the mentor institution. By Programme Affiliation, an institution may apply to be mentored in a programme only. However, it must already have an institutional affiliation elsewhere as a prerequisite.
Becoming a KNUST Mentee
To seek to be mentored by the KNUST, the prospective mentee institution applies to the Management through the Vice-Chancellor for affiliation. A Team from the Affiliations Office is detailed to pay a reconnaissance visit after which a report is submitted to Management of the University.
When the report is positive and approved, the prospective mentee is then invited to submit its curricula and other documentation for review. The review is a three-tier process which begins with a sub-committee with expertise in the relevant academic areas being proposed. The second tier is the Planning and Resources Committee of the University which also reviews the work and the documents submitted by the specialized sub-committee before passing it over to the Academic Board for approval. Thereafter, the necessary legal protocols are then signed if it is institutional affiliation. If it programme affiliation, after the final approval by the Academic Board, the mentee institution is advised to mount the programme.
Affiliation of Ministry of Health Training Institutions
Since 2013, the Ministry of Health has engaged the KNUST to up-grade and mentors its training institutions running programmes in Registered General Nursing, Registered Midwifery, Registered Community Nursing and Environmental Health.
This is in line with the University's commitment to fulfilling its corporate social responsibility in ways that impact positively and directly on national development.

Dziunia – polska łódź badawcza.

Jednostka o długości 7,50 metra i szerokości 2,50 metra została zbudowana w 1977 we Władysławowie (stocznia "Szkuner") jako statek rybacki. Wkrótce odkupiona została przez Polską Akademię Nauk i została zaadaptowana, jako łódź badawcza. Do końca lat 80. XX wieku służyła pracownikom i naukowcom przebywającym i prowadzącym badania na Polskiej Stacji Antarktycznej im. Henryka Arctowskiego na Wyspie Króla Jerzego. Określano ją jako jednostkę o dużej dzielności morskiej, o niezawodnym silniku stacjonarnym. Była wyposażona w windę mechaniczną. Spełniła podstawową rolę w zdobyciu potrzebnych dla naukowców dużych ilości materiałów biologicznych, takich jak np. kryl, ryby, plankton i bentos. Wyposażenie jej zarówno w tratwę pneumatyczną, jak i środki sygnalizacji oraz łączności ze stacja arktyczną, gwarantowały bezpieczeństwo pracy. W rejonie stacji wzniesiono pomost umożliwiający bezpieczne podchodzenie tak "Dziuni", jak i innych jednostek.

Po zakończeniu służby została przekazana w darze do Muzeum Rybołówstwa w Helu.

This is a two-part post. The first –this one– is about self-determination, and people who want to chase their dreams. The second is the link between dreams and reality, where the feelings in a dream are too realistic, and when you wake up you can't decipher if it was real or fake.
So recently I've been catching up on some cartoons which when I was in primary school ran for a few seasons then just disappeared (always replaced with the latest cartoon). But I always held this one close to me as it taught me the most values – things I wish to teach others through my films.
accept a second place option.
Now while this internal debate ran wild, making me constantly consider what I should do when it arrives I came to the decision that I will only get one chance and if I don't follow my dream at that point then there's no chance of doing it later! However, while questioning why I should or shouldn't pursue my dreams I also asked myself a very important question, one that I think is an important for everyone.
Why do you wake up everyday?
It seems simplistic but is truly a perplexed topic. I could bet my bottom dollar that most people would honestly say that the thought doesn't even cross their mind. And I guess that's a fact I will have to face – people actually don't know why they get up everyday. For others, it seems that they do it to continue their work from previous days (but when did this first initiate? Why all of a sudden wake up and say, "Oh I'm going to work now"?). From what I've been told and seen, people are continually doing the same tasks over and over again because of work, school, families, etc. There isn't a 'pure' force, which makes us do what we do – except to survive that day. There is one thing, which we can agree on though, and that's that quitting is simply not an answer. Most see that quitting holds to many repercussions for others – plus there are some perks of living, which would otherwise be lost.
Now going back to my fork in the road question, I decided to follow my dreams because I could never be happy, 'purely' happy living in a second position place. And I'm not talking about being competitive, but more so doing the things you enjoy because life is a ride which we take to help others enjoy.
Do you believe that we pave our own way or life is already set out for us? A friend once told me that it's both. Our lives are set out in many ways, and we decide where we go, and in many ways she was right. You either do or you don't do something, but in the end you either succeed or you don't.
I never use to question my existence, nor the reason I decided to study for the first eighteen years of my life to only find it would still hard to just get a proper job (compared to my dream). But I still did it; unintentionally I used up a quarter of my recommended life span on something which doesn't make anything easier. However, after this week I now know that I have a dream, one which I will pursue everyday (not try but will). My goal is too important to lose, and there is nothing that's going to stop me.
Some of you who read this will be thinking that my mindset is unrealistic – and even based on false hope. Agreed. But isn't that apart of life? Not knowing where you're going just enjoying the ride, experiencing everything to make you a better person. I ask you what happened to that inner child that wanted to be an astronaut, doctor, fireman, nurse, singer, or artist? Somewhere you lost your will to be your potential and decided the challenge was too hard – or worse your dreams were not worth it.
And for all the realists who say that following your dreams is rubbish, and destined for failure, I hope you change soon or else your life would have been wasted – and not lived doing what you wanted to do deep down inside.
So follow your dreams, no matter how crazy they seem. Nobody wants to live an ordinary life, and what will people remember you as? The quite person, or the one who defied the odds?
Imagine a world if everybody was fighting to be the best person they could be! All you have to do is start by trying.

Het klooster van Wörschweiler is een voormalige klooster in het Duitse Wörschweiler, dat tegenwoordig een stadsdeel is van Homburg in de deelstaat Saarland. Het klooster werd gebruikt door de cisterciënzers.

Het klooster is in 1130 in opdracht van graaf Friedrich I van het graafschap Saarwerden en zijn gemalin Gertrud an der Stelle opgericht als klooster voor benedictijnen. In 1171 werd het klooster als zusterklooster van klooster van Villers-Bettnach in gebruik genomen en namen cisterciënzers intrek in het gebouw. Daardoor viel het ook onder het klooster van Morimond. In 1558 verloor het klooster zijn functie en in 1614 stortte het klooster, na een brand, in. In de 19e en 20e eeuw werden delen van het klooster opgegraven, waaronder onderdelen van de kerk.

GAC Witstar Concept - While Chinese automobile creator have yet to infiltrate the American market that has halted them from planning some really unusual idea vehicles The GAC WitStar is the most recent implausible idea to originate from the Far East, pressing a module drive train and afish tank Yup that a fish tank okay.
GAC rep resentatives noticed that the module cross breed commute train is much the same as the one found in the Chevy Volt with an electric engine conveying 127 strength and 168 lbft of torque Electric driving extent is appraised at 62 miles on account of a 13 kWh lithium particle battery pack after which a 10 liter four barrel gas generator assumes control Not an especially new or energizing commute prepare particularly for an idea however I figure they spared the get-up-and-go for the inner part.
Outwardly talking the GAC WitStar would be kinda ho murmur were it not for the Tesla knockoff bird of prey wing entryways turning front seat and fish tank armrest Again I need to stress that fish tank armrest in light of the fact that why the heck would you do that That something I'd hope to see on Pimp My Ride as opposed to the Detroit Auto Show however hey it did get me discussing the auto more so than I may have other shrewd And thank completely those weren't genuine fish in light of the fact that that simply be remorseless.
Aggregate scope of the WITSTAR is nearly 380 miles (600 km) with up to 110 mpg (2 l/100 km) and in the ballpark of 62 miles (100 km) of all-electric extent. Top pace remains at 100 mph (161 km/h).
Increasing speed sound swell with 4.5 seconds recorded until you read it to the end and see 0 to 31 mph (0 to 50 km/h) GAC does offer an aquarium with fish as standard supplies.
A few sources are demonstrating that there is 1-liter gas motor in the engine consolidated with an electric engine and a 13 kWh lithium-particle battery pack.
New vitality vehicles speak to the future bearing of the auto segment. WITSTAR, the idea of GAC Group, characteristics hearty force, vitality protection and discernment.
WITSTAR is in light of a car stage freely grew by GAC Engineering, the center of GAC Group's R&D abilities. It is controlled by a reach augmented drivetrain, with a most elevated stable rate of more than 160km/h, a 0-50km/h speeding up time of 4.5 seconds, and a greatest gradeability of 32%. WITSTAR has a driving scope of more than 100km under unadulterated power mode and a general scope of more than 600km, with the gas utilization under 2 liters every 100km. As far as insight, WITSTAR peculiarities its point-to-point auto-pilot mode. With the innovation to pick best courses and distinguish snags, self-ruling driving can be acknowledged, at daytime or at dull. In styling, WITSTAR embraces a cutting edge outline and reflects GAC Group's heading in making future savvy vehicles.
GAC Group has saved no endeavors in its endeavor to create elective vitality vehicles. GA5 REV, an extent augmented electric vehicle, the first of its kind in China, was dispatched in 2014. It expends just 16 KWH of power every 100km, with zero gas utilization and zero discharge. Moreover, GAC Group has created a joint dare to create new vitality transports with BYD, a Chinese automaker work in option vitality improvement. The joint wander will venture into the worldwide markets later on.
So far GAC Group has fabricated a world-driving base for creating and assembling new vitality vehicles, with its center advancements in vehicle control, engine framework incorporation, battery framework combination, battery extend and energy component vehicle mix, and the assembling abilities in engines, batteries and controllers."

This is an Artist's Impression of the new Sports Dome that will be in use from August 2014.
It only takes a brief look through my diary each week to remember how many things we have to celebrate, given the remarkable talents of our young people here at BSB. As I hope you have noticed, we have decided that our foyer, which used to look rather bare and cavernous, should be a pure celebration of the many and varied achievements of students. Last month, we had an awe-inspiring display of the creative work in Secondary PE and Design Technology. This month, we turn to literary skills, as we demonstrate the remarkable writing talents of our German Primary School children, and national prize-winning writer Amy Wei in Year 11, as well as some interactive displays for you and your children to enjoy together and work by our younger French classes. You have a part to play too – please do inform your child's teachers of anything that they do that is worthy of celebration. We have now started whole school assemblies in Secondary (a new feature for BSB) with the sole purpose of recognising and rewarding achievement in any field of endeavour.
On a wider scale, I have had the privilege to watch the 'music circuses' which are the culmination of Primary students work in their PIPS classes. The progress made is amazing and we have some really committed and talented young musicians here. This is a unique feature of BSB, where every child in Primary learns a musical instrument in a structured fashion, and we know that it paves the way for great musical skill in the future. As with Sport, we believe that the ability to play a musical instrument and appreciate music is a core part of a young person's development and it was delightful to see the hard work come to fruition. My thanks to all the music teachers for their commitment, and also to the many parents who supported the event.
On a wholly different note, two of our young BBC reporters, Leoni Reusing (Year 8) and Jun Yu (Cathleen) Loh (Year 9) joined Mrs Cundall and myself at the very formal second UK-China People to People Dialogue. This year's dialogue was co-chaired by China's Vice Premier, Liu Yandong and by the UK's Secretary of State for Health, Jeremy Hunt MP and the students had the opportunity to mingle and chat to a number of very significant UK and Chinese diplomats, universities and business people, which they did with a confidence, manners and genuine interest in and understanding of the matters being discussed that amazed everyone they met.
Now that we are building the Dome this summer, we have the chance to review the AQI policy to ensure we are doing the absolute best for our children in terms of their health, and correctly balancing the need for physical activity and exercise, and the need to avoid breathing in an excessive level of pollutants. I am very pleased to say that we have therefore decided that, from August 2014, Primary children will remain inside when the AQI level is above 200 (currently 250). In Secondary, the limit will remain at 250, and we will limit the range of outdoor activity to avoid strenuous activity when it is above 200. Once we have confirmed other building changes in the summer, we will also review whether we should lower the limit for Early Years even further, by allowing them to have excellent alternatives to run around which do not involve going outside.
65 days when it was between 150 and 200, which is why we do not believe that we should go lower than 200 for the majority of Primary School for the short time that they are actually outside.


Jonas Paul is our first and only kids collection, and has garnered numerous awards for its social responsibility and design.
The company was founded by Ben and Laura Harrison and inspired by the birth of their son, Jonas Paul. Jonas was born with a rare disorder, Peter's Anomaly, that caused opacified corneas and glaucoma. Despite being blind at birth, Jonas Paul now has low vision thanks to 21 surgeries and the dedication of his loving parents. As Ben and Laura searched for fashionable kids glasses frames for their son, they grew increasingly frustrated at the limited options for children. Ben and Laura decided to leave their careers to launch Jonas Paul Eyewear with the mission of helping children feel beautiful in their glasses and providing sight to children in need with every purchase.


It's a very special holiday edition of Vegas News! Since I'm writing this during one of the holidays, there will be a little less opinion and observation than usual.
Their purchase of Cannery Casinos was made official last week. This year Boyd added Cannery Casino, Eastside Cannery, and Aliante to their roster of Las Vegas hotel-casinos. Add these three properties to the B-Connected players club and you have a single players club with ten Off-Strip properties. If you're tired of the business practices of the casino corporations on the Vegas Strip you might want to explore Boyd, Station or some of the individually operated casinos away from the action. I wrote a little more about it here.
The nicest casinos in Las Vegas aren't always the most popular. In fact, for the majority of people visiting Las Vegas they're not. Travelers are always looking for a bargain and the luxury resorts rarely offer great deals for the masses. It shouldn't come as a surprise that a survey by Expedia for USA Today shows that Circus Circus is the most popular hotel-casino in Las Vegas.
If you're in Las Vegas for New Year's Eve and looking for a deal on booze you might want to spend some time in Downtown Las Vegas. Downtown Grand will have a $35 deal for all you can drink each day starting noon from December 29 until noon January 2. Details are sparse but I suspect that you'll be drinking macro-American beer (Miller, Bud, Coors) and well drinks. The Las Vegas Review-Journal has a little more information.
I don't know where the traffic for TravelZork comes from, but I assume most of you reading this are not from Las Vegas. If you happen to be from Las Vegas, beginning Wednesday you'll have to pay for parking just like non-residents have been paying all year. You can find the MGM Resorts International fees here. The Las Vegas Sun has a guide if you're not familiar with who's charging what for parking on the Vegas Strip.
For some reason, this partnership wasn't talked about much by the Caesars or Starwood customers I know. According to a post on the FlyerTalk, this partnership will cease to exist at the end of the year. Of course, Total Rewards customers will still have offers and rewards from the Caesars Entertainment loyalty club.
MGM Resorts' Mlife Rewards has a pretty sweet partnership with Hyatt Gold Passport. The partnership will continue next year but it will be different beginning March 1. One Mile At A Time has more information on the new World of Hyatt loyalty program.
The new gaming area geared towards millennials be the new home to the vintage Sigma Derby game at MGM Grand. Even though this game is old, millennials love cheap gambling and Sigma Derby certainly fits the bill. Level Up opens on December 29.
The WSOP will run from May 30 to July 17, 2017, at the Rio All-Suites hotel and casino. The $565 buy-in tournament, Colossus, has starting flights beginning June 2-4. The $10,000 buy-in tournament, the Main Event, has starting flights beginning July 8-10. Admission to watch the poker action is free.
The Vegas Strip will be a madhouse on New Year's Eve. It will be a fun madhouse with over 300,000 people enjoying the revelry and fireworks show above the Vegas Strip at midnight. Driving around the Strip will be a nightmare if you have a car. KTNV has all the details on the road closures.
Last week I passed on a rumor from Johnny Kats that the rock show will be moving to the Hard Rock. That rumor was confirmed by the Hard Rock last week. The show will begin in March. A lot of people reached out to say how much they liked the show when it closed at the Tropicana. This new home seems like a perfect fit.
Punk Rock Bowling will return to Las Vegas in 2017 from May 26-29. The music portion of the festival will take place in downtown Las Vegas. The main show will include Iggy Pop, Pennywise, Bouncing Souls, and more. You can find more information at punkrockbowling.com.
