The ISTD Modern Syllabus is a fun, technical, musical and energetic style, involving leaps, turns, stretches, combinations and more. Children can be entered for examinations and work their way to the highest levels. The modern syllabus works well along side the classical ballet syllabus. Children can develop a strong technique aswell as achieving a strong performance style.
A light hearted and fun introduction to dance. Our classes use props and imagery as a way of introducing basic ballet technique. First steps classes are aimed to improve and develop posture, co-ordination, imagination and musicality. Our class numbers are smaller than most dance schools to allow us, as teachers, to focus on each child's individual needs.
We follow the Royal Academy of Dance ballet syllabus which is taught in over 82 countries world wide. Children from five years can take exams and progress at a steady pace through the grades as they mature. Classes are focused on posture, strength,musicality and group activities aswell as working to a standard which is acceptable for passing an RAD exam. Our classes are fun and energetic with a balance of class discipline.
These specialised classes follow the RAD syllabus. Aimed at the more serious dancer and those seeking a career in dance these classes require full comittment, strength and co-ordination. The vocational syallbus looks deeper into the artistry that every successful dancer needs. Technique is developed to an even higher standard and steps become more demanding. Pointe work is introduced at a manageable and controlled level.
This class is split in to, two different skill levels and focused on pointe work. Children who attend this class must be at least Grade 4 standard and above to ensure that they have the technique and control / strength to manage safely. We aim to develop a sound technique and develop a childs confidence on pointe. We will inform every pupil when we feel they are ready to progress onto pointe for the first time. This will be different for each child, depending on personal physique etc. This class compliments the vocational grades and pupils are advised to continue with pointe class when studying the vocational syllabus.
We have 3 levels of lyrical jazz. Lyrical 1 will progress into lyrical 2, and so on, as a child develops both technically and emotionally. Lyrical jazz focuses on a strong ballet / jazz technique which is needed to dance the routines to a high standard. Lyrical jazz is a class that teaches emotion and passion in dance, usually portraying a story through dance. It is physically quite demanding. However, our classes will develop children's flexiblity, co-ordintion and dance style as they progress.
Split into junior and senior levels we cater for pupils from 5 years. Each class level is a development into the next. Children will learn basic tap techique which will become more demanding as they move from juniors to seniors, as well as learning fun routines and working in groups. Tap classes are brilliant in helping children to understand rhythm and beats. We base our classes on the ISTD syallbus. The syllabus is current and enjoyable, yet teaches a firm tap technique from a young age.
Split into infant, junior and senior level, we offer street dance classes from 3 years old. Our classes include warm-up, choreography and the teaching of Street Dance / Hip Hop steps. Street Dance is funky, fresh and certainly a very popular form of dance world-wide. There are plenty of performance opportuniites for our Street dancers such as fetes and shows. We aim to give children confidence and enjoyment through our classes.
Our body condtioning and technique classes are aimed at our senior pupils (grade 4 and above). We focus on short excercises that target one or multiple muscle groups, and develop them weekly to improve strength and stamina needed for dance. Body condtioning will teach the young dancer exactly how to engage and use their muscles properly when in a dance class, in order to achieve the highest possible results for their individual bodies. This class is by no means similar to any adult fitness class such as legs bums and tums or body combat. Excercises are designed specifically for children and their develpoing physiques. Talking in depth about the anatomy and technical side of dance.
Contemporary class is a class which will enable a dancer to explore the area of revolutionary unconventional movements, that are gathered from all dance styles of world. Contemporary classes therefore do not use fixed moves, and instead try to develop totally new forms and dynamics, such as quick oppositional moves, shifting alignments, systematic breathing and moves performed on different levels. This class reaches to find the limits of human form and physique! and will teach dancers a knowledge of inspirational dance masters such as Martha Graham and Isadora Duncan.
A fun fitness class, based on various dance styles. Come along, have fun, meet new people and get in shape at the same time! Pay as you go class.
A fitness class with a Latin inspired influence. All skill levels / abilities welcome.
The Acrobatic Arts syllabus is designed to motivate dancers. This program is designed to compliment a students dance program. Turns, Kicks & Jumps are important elements in acrobatic routines, as are, timing, musicality, emotional expression and artistry. It is necessary to ensure that these skills are adequately covered before considering this class. With ballet training being the success of this program, we recommend that children attend at least one Ballet class per week alongside their Acro class.
Classes are structured purely on ability, age is no key factor.
Recreational - Classes suitable for complete beginners or children who are not looking to take examinations, and want to dance purely for fun.

Popupla editorial director Jeralyn Gerba reports on her new stomping grounds on the Brooklyn/Queens border.
Some of those pioneering, enterprising people doing weird stuff include my husband and his friends. This summer, they turned what was more or less a gigantic old junk yard on Cooper Avenue into a sprawling backyard hang with neon-painted trees, grassy hills, picnic tables, a bar, and a grill. They call the place , and the grand scheme of the seasonal outdoor spot is to create a place where you can take your dog, your kids, or your whole birthday party for a laid-back evening of sangria, grass-fed burgers, ping pong, and lightning bugs. Many of the patrons I chat with — artists and teachers and firefighters and guys loosening their ties — are locals who know about the cool things tucked into and around the manufacturing and residential zones. Ridgewood isn't an in-your-face hot-bed of coolness. You've got to creep up on the cool things hidden out of sight and off the beaten path. And that's what makes it great.
For example, after snacking on gigantic pickles and drinking beer at my husband's venue, we sometimes get a craving for a pizza from , an industrial warehouse space retrofitted with a vintage fridge, handmade wooden tables, and a big wood-fired oven. You have to enter through the loading dock that has been turned into an outdoor seating area. The salads are generous; the wine is affordable; and the thin-crust pizzas strewn with stracciatella, rapini, prosciutto, and wine-cured sausage are excellent. The name, a nod to the legendary escape artist buried in the nearby cemetery, does seem to be imbued with a little magic.
Intrepid, party-going New Yorkers have been following Todd P for years; he's the guy who brought indie/jazz/ambient/avant-garde bands and producers under dilapidated warehouse roofs in Williamsburg in the early aughts. He also ran the graffitied, off-beat, alternative music venues 285 Kent and Market Hotel. The dude is always well ahead of the curve, and it comes as no surprise that he's already embedded in Ridgewood with , a venue for diverse sounds, comprehensive live music shows, community programming, and affordable yoga.
Beyond the manufacturing zone north of Myrtle Avenue, there's a strech of quirky, commerical happenings. springs from the kind of makeshiftery that makes me hopeful about the future of NYC. There's an eclectic range of used and new books, a schedule of readings and film screenings, a little cafe, and a no WiFi policy (so that you actually read or interact with live people).
The sign of the beginning (or end?!) of a neighborhood: high-quality coffee. Around here, it can be procured at , where the buzz trifecta (Stumptown roasts, Dough doughnuts, bagel sandwiches) will make your morning commute go by lickety-split.
Every neighborhood needs its requisite wine bar, and — which serves appropriately date-nightish bites (goat cheese and honey crostini, charcuterie boards, chocolate waffles) — fills the cozy gap with storytelling evenings ("Bar Time Stories") and rustic brunches and $5 mimosas. The folks who run this spot also run the wildly popular , a cafe and scratch bakery that has managed to attract a perfect cross section of the community, from the old Italian lady coffee clutch to slacker students skipping class.
The diversity of the working class neighborhood is one of its biggest charms. There are lots of Polish delicatessens, German butcher shops, Dominican restaurants, and entirely unpretentious and solid watering holes. It could take months (years!) to explore them all, but some shout-outs are in order: (immaculate presentation, nice staff, excellent prices), Catania Bakery on Fresh Pond Road (Italian pastries, particularly sfogliatelle), (beloved Mexican-style rotisserie chicken), and — a bare bones American bistro run by a bunch of guys from the kitchens of Dumont, Dressler, and Diner (yes to perfectly cooked burgers and fries).
There's a long and tenuous history between artists and real estate in the city, and many are living, working, and showcasing in the neighborhood. I haven't done a thorough gallery hop just yet, but a few spaces look interesting: for group shows; on the outskirts for the outliers; and for the DIY appeal.

Q: Indexing a String I want to perform a very simple task, but I cannot manage to stop the compiler from complaining.
fn transform(s: String) -> String {
    let bytes = s.as_bytes();
    format!("{}/{}", bytes[0..2], bytes[2..4])
}

[u8] does not have a constant size known at compile-time.
Some tips making this operation to work as intended?

A: Indeed, the size of a [u8] isn't known at compile time. The size of &[u8] however is known at compile time because it's just a pointer plus a usize representing the length of sequence.
format!("{:?}/{:?}", &bytes[0..2], &bytes[2..4])

Rust strings are encoded in utf-8, so working with strings in this way is generally a bad idea because a single unicode character may consist of multiple bytes.

Bruno Fernandes equals Cristiano Ronaldo's footsteps at MU
By db-admin
DBasia.news – Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes became the first Portuguese player to score 10 goals in a Premier League season since Cristiano Ronaldo in 2008-09, but that was not enough to seal a win for Manchester United at Leicester City.
Thanks to Fernandes' pass, Man United took the lead in the 23rd minute. The former Udinese player's assist was struck by Marcus Rashford for a goal.
Leicester had equalized to 1-1 through Harvey Barnes's goal. However, in the 79th minute, Fernandes scored to bring Manchester United back ahead.
Unfortunately, Manchester United's victory was shattered five minutes before the whistle. Leicester made the score 2-2 after Axel Tuanzebe scored an own goal.
Thanks to an additional goal, Bruno Fernandes has scored 10 goals in the Premier League this season. He also became the first Portuguese player for Man United after Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored 10 goals in one season in the Premier League.
Cristiano Ronaldo made that record in the 2008-2009 season. At that time, at the end of the competition, the Juventus player scored 18 goals.
Continuing to receive praise, Bruno Fernandes didn't want to be conceited. According to him, his rising appearance was inseparable from the help of other Red Devils players.
"I enjoyed this performance. There are good clubs who were around and helped me from the start. They gave me confidence. When I received support, I felt better," said Fernandes.
"We want to win games. If you focus on other teams, you can't focus on what can be done," he added.
Manchester United brought in Bruno Fernandes from Sporting CP in the winter of 2020. At that time, Man United spent 55 million euros.

Rural Peabody resident Marilyn Jones sent a letter of complaint to Marion County Commission regarding the way the county road crews trimmed trees.
During the Marion County Commission meeting March 17, the letter was shown to acting public works director John Summerville.
Summerville responded that the county had two options.
"We can leave them (the trees) alone or raise taxes," Summerville said.
He continued that the county does not have the necessary equipment to properly trim the trees. A worker could trim trees with a chain saw from the bucket truck but didn't want to authorize it. Summerville contended it would take his crews all summer to trim trees by using that method.
"By fall you won't notice it," Summerville said. He agreed that the trees weren't attractive but the trimming was beneficial to the roads by allowing the moisture to dissipate and improve visibility for motorists.
— The county decided it does not want a state-owned bridge by Florence. Joe Palic of Kansas Department of Transportation had asked the commission to consider assuming ownership of the newer bridge structure which was built before U.S.-77 recently was re-constructed.
Commissioner Randy Dallke said he didn't understand why the county should take the bridge since KDOT had rebuilt it several times.
Summerville said, even though the county won't have to replace it for decades, he still didn't want the county to be responsible for the maintenance and inspections, and eventual reconstruction. He continued that a verbal agreement had been made between a former county employee and the state. The commission agreed that future agreements should be made at the commission meeting with the commission instead of verbal agreements with employees.
— The Lumberyard of Hillsboro had the low bid for wooden fence posts. The bid was $8.89 each for 100, 4x4x12-foot posts and $10.37 each for 50, 4x4x12-foot posts. Kropf Lumber of Hesston presented a bid of $9.96 and $10.71, respectively.

It's difficult to celebrate or be festive on my birthday, especially when I see Isabella in her debilitated state. Our joys have drastically been limited to things that many take for granted, for instance the few times that Isabella smiles or when she is able to take a sip from a straw or when she can take a bite of food without choking.
On top of that, there are kids dying all over the world, whether they are getting shot or succumbing to their sickness. The boy that I wrote about a few weeks ago, Justin Alvarez, just died from his brain cancer. On the night I found out about Justin, I gave Isabella an extra hug, saddened because I knew another mother and father would no longer be able to hug their own child. Justin's wake is tonight and his funeral is tomorrow.

World Centres / Our Chalet / About Us / Our Chalet Foundation
The Our Chalet Foundation is an external committee dedicated to financial upkeep and development of the Our Chalet facilities.
What is Our Chalet Foundation?
Our Chalet Foundation is the legal entity that looks after the management of the buildings and the land where Our Chalet is located. The Foundation works closely with the Centre Manager and the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts.
Fit for the Future
Many people who have visited Our Chalet in the past few years may have noticed the renovations and upgrades to the site. Since 2011 an ongoing project called 'Fit for the Future' has been carried out by Our Chalet Foundation, upgrading the facilities at the Centre. To date we have:
Added the Centre Manager's office in Spycher
Upgraded the bathrooms and the T-Bar in Main Chalet
Fully renovated the kitchen
Made improvements for the food and materials storage areas in the basement
Made improvements in the laundry room of Our Chalet.
All this work has been carried out to ensure that Our Chalet is kept to a high standard for guests and to ensure that guests and staff can enjoy good facilities while staying at Our Chalet. The Fit for the Future project was made possible by the generous legacies left to Our Chalet Foundation by Irene von Graventiz and Ursula Schulthess. We have also been successful in receiving some grant aid from the Bernese Lottery towards this work.
Day to day maintenance is carried out by the Chalet staff, when larger pieces of work have to be undertaken it is discussed with the Executive Board and decisions are made as to when to carry out the work so that it will cause the least interference to the Chalet programme and guests (often in November when the Chalet is closed).
The Foundation is not involved in the running and management of the Centre.
Along with the Fit for the Future project, Our Chalet Foundation carries out maintenance of the buildings and grounds. Annual maintenance has included:
The re-varnishing of the floors of Our Chalet and Stöckli.
Re-fitting new window frames in Main Chalet to improve the glazing and cut down on heat-loss.
Fixing and strengthening the floor of the Eco Hut after it collapsed.
Improving the space under the Hut for outdoor equipment storage.
Wall and roof insulation throughout the Main Chalet improved.
New radiators and piping installed.
The driveway up to Our Chalet has recently been re-surfaced.
A guide barrier has been installed on the bend below Spycher.
About the Our Chalet Foundation
The Foundation was set up in September 1996 in accordance to Swiss law. The Board of Trustees of Our Chalet Foundation is made up of representatives from various groups including the World Board of WAGGGS, the European Committee of WAGGGS, Mouvement Scout de Suisse (PBS – the Swiss Guides & Scouts), the Foundation for Swiss Scout Houses and representatives appointed from other groups like Adelboden Tourism, the Adelboden community, and the World Foundation for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts Inc.
Members are appointed for a three year term and can serve a maximum of nine years. The Board of Trustees elects the chair person and the board has to have a Swiss majority.
Function of the Our Chalet Foundation
The Board of Trustees meet annually in March and the Executive Board meets by conference call five to six times during the year including one meeting at Our Chalet during Summer / Autumn. The Centre Manager is a member of this group. We exist to ensure that the Our Chalet site and all the buildings will continue to serve girls and young women for many years to come, inspiring them to greatness and helping them to develop as responsible citizens of the world.
Over the past couple of years, Our Chalet Foundation has also been involved with the community re-zoning of the Adelboden area and the successful conclusion of this now allows us to do a small amount of building work on the site. This work has included building a small garage for the Centre's van and car and a rubbish bin shelter – but there are no additional plans for extensions or new builds on the site.
Future plans include the potential linking up of the heating systems in Chalet, Stöckli and Spycher to make it more efficient and effective.
A Lasting Legacy
By continuing the upkeep of Our Chalet and surrounding buildings, Our Chalet Foundation also maintains the lasting legacy and vision of Helen Storrow (USA) who donated Our Chalet and Baby Chalet as an international centre for girls in 1932. Now over 80 years old and the oldest of the four World Centres, everyone travelling and staying at Our Chalet has enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the mountains and all that the area of Adelboden offers and left with that spirit of Guiding that is found "high up, high in the mountains."

Hoard Story
sharpening notes

Sharp vs shiny
A question that has come up amongst serious users of traditional style Japanese laminated blades is the sharp versus shiny topic. When you look at a traditional laminated Japanese blade you may notice that the different materials, the soft iron of the jigane or body material, and the hard carbon steel of the hagane or cutting edge steel each have a distinctive metallic sheen to them. Many times the soft iron backing metal looks dull and irregular in its granular composition when viewed next to the bright polished refined cutting steel portion of the blade. This contrast is found to be enhanced or even exaggerated if the blade is honed on a traditional Japanese water stone known as tennen toishi, awase toishi or awasedo.
Conversely when the same blade is honed on a synthetic manmade water stone the contrast between the hagane and the jigane will be noticeably lacking and the sheen can look uniform and shiny thus giving the bevel of the blade the look like it is all made out of one type of steel. With finer grits of synthetic abrasives the blades bevel can even look like a mirror.
Viewing the blade is simply a matter of taste or aesthetics and some tool users really like the new shiny look, like having a new car. If the truth be known, I would guess that most people do like the shiny look. But in the realm of cutting edge tools, does Shiny really mean Sharp? I would suggest that shiny can be sharp if the grit of the stone was effective in its purpose of sharpening the blade, but if the grit was not effectively cutting the steel and was instead simply burnishing the steel, then no. A burnished blade is not necessarily sharp.
This sounds like an quick answer to the sharp vs. shiny topic. But is this the end of it? Is it all just a matter of aesthetics? It has been suggested that there is another dimension which may be more pertinent and ultimately more important to the craftsperson: How long will your sharp stay sharp? And there may be a direct relationship to how sharp and how long and how shiny.
What is sharp?
To delve into this subject of the durability of sharpness let us fist define sharp.
In a rudimentary sense, the idea sharp or sharpness is when a tool; is cutting in a satisfactory manner, or as you perceive it should do, or expect it to be cutting. Simplified, a kitchen knife may be sharp enough to cut an apple but not sharp enough to cut a ripe tomato.
In theory the sharpness of a tool is realized at the convergence of two distinct planes at the cutting edge thus creating a bevel angle measured in degrees. From here on out I will be referring to this convergence of the two planes which create a single cutting edge, and not to three or more planes converging which would create a point as in the tip of a sword. In the molecular realm this convergence of two planes is measured in terms of atoms stacked into units measured as microns of width or thickness. The narrower the width with fewer atoms, the sharper the edge. For a woodcutter in a dusty shop without a microscope a satisfactory cutting edge can be measured empirically by using a certain known grit abrasive to hone an edge on his/her tool and with this tool be able to cut with limited effort a certain known material, say for instance white oak.
This known grit abrasive should have the ability to cleave off from the body of steel a particular quantity of material during the sharpening process and in doing so the grit will leave a scratch behind where the steel was removed. This scratch should represent the grit size of the abrasive while taking into account the form that the abrasive is packaged, as in: free roaming powders or slurries, or like those bound up in a solid mass like the body of the stone., In leaving a scratch "fingerprint" the full diameter of the grit particle is usually not in play in either of the above forms but instead
the scratch represents the type and size of the grit particles coupled with their abilities and effects on the blade. For instance, bound up grit in a stone may leave long continuous scratches equaling in width and depth 1/4 to 1/2 of the diameter of the actual particle as its head sits above the binder while the majority of the grit is trapped down in the stones binder. Or as if free roaming grit the scratches can look shorter with distinct entry and exit shapes where the grit gets rolled around in contact and out of contact with the steel.
Also the particular shape of the walls and bottom of the scratch can vary due to the grit particles molecular structure and its ability to, or not, retain its shape under the stress of a work load. The two most common shapes of scratches could be called the "U" shape or the "V" shape. There will of course be other variations in the scratch pattern that I will discuss later.
The question of how long will a blade stay sharp is and may be a far more practical and immediate question to a crafts person. If it can be agreed by all that; time spent at the sharpening stone is considered re-tooling or down time than the "how long" question is important. A quality cutting edge should maintain an acceptably decreasing degree of sharpness during use if the material making up the blade is sufficiently harder than the object that is being cut. In a wood shop environment it is difficult to dispute that if you are not actually in the active process of sharpening your tools, then they themselves are in the process of being dulled, and to some degree even whether you are working with them or not because simple oxidation at the cutting edge is a type of dulling action. In cutting wood for instance, a hard dull edge will stay dull a very, very, very long time. It is hard to measure dullness but we can all recognize it. But if that same blade is sharpened to a keen edge, the edge must in theory begin to dull and deteriorate immediately upon usage, even with the first stroke of the blade the leading edge nicks and folds and this is a fact that can be proven with a microscope. Although this deterioration must occur, the blade may maintain an acceptable degree of sharpness even as the integrity of the cutting edge deteriorates.
So the next question is how can we keep our edges sharp longer on the tools that we own and use. Other then changing the tool steel itself some obvious answers might be: keeping the edge protected, using the edge only on softer materials, avoiding corrosion on the edge, avoid distempering the edge, sharpening the blade on an abrasive that is appropriate for the steels composition, using a sharpening medium that will by its very nature create a longer lasting edge.
What is a Longer Lasting Edge, And How Might That be Achieved?
What is a Longer Lasting Edge? It could be in part defined as a working edge that has been boosted or improved somehow that allows it keep a working edge longer than that same particular tool had previously been known to have achieved. All tools have inherent limitations but if there is a way to enhance those limits and to create a satisfactory situation where an edge lasts longer, would this not be desirable?
And how might a longer lasting edge be achieved; Cryogenics? Micro Bevels? Altered Primary Bevel Angles? Sharpening Technique? Yes, yes and more yeses. How about our sharpening mediums and how might they affect the length an edge maintains its integrity. If one medium over another for instance, of the same grit, provided a longer lasting edge than another, might that be a simple step to take in a typical shop environment?
What Can We Buy?
When you buy a synthetic stone advertised as 1,000 grit do you assume (assume because the facts are guarded proprietary secrets) that: 100% of the cutting particles of this stone are actually graded as 1,000 grit in diameter; or could it be that only an acceptable portion of the grit particles are 1K because the manufacturer is marketing the product based on a percentage or portion (the finest grit dimension) of the mix. What percentage of the grit needs to be 1K in order for the representation to be truthful? How about the stones binder of the grit; does it release the grit particles into individual 1,000 grit abrasive particles, or do some particles remain bonded and remain together and actively cutting while floating in the abrasive slurry as mega-sized particles in the 500 grit or 200 grit dimension or larger? For a 1,000 grit stone this is not a big deal because faster cutting is usually desired, but in the 15,000 to 50,000 grit grade stones aren't we really expecting the cutting action to be in those numbers. The finer the better.
Now lets take a different approach and assume that an expensive synthetic stone of 10,000 grit is composed of one hundred percent 10K particles, this is what we were buying and this is what we got and we are happy. When using this stone the bevel of our tool is polished to precisely 10,000 grit specifications with a scratch pattern displaying 10,000 grit scratches all lined up evenly in a row. Fantastic if this is what you want. The blade will look shiny and like a 10K mirror and it will shave like ten thousand grit wonder, on the first few passes anyhow. But for how long?
Now most importantly, and this is really important, and I deferred this from above to this paragraph. Between each pair of scratches in the scratch pattern is a peak, and the peak's profile is defined by the scratch to either side of it. In using the above mentioned pure grit 10K stone as the example, the peaks will be 10K peaks because the valleys/scratches on ether side were created with 10K grit material. . Sharpening is a process of removal, reduction. In the removal process of sharpening the scratch becomes a negative space and by default the positive space left behind by this reduction is the peak. It is not the scratch that becomes the cutting edge, but the peak between the scratches is the cutting edge. Keep in mind that at the microscopic level these peaks and valleys are three dimensional. The peak is predominate and projects forward from the edge of the blade and is the first element of the blade to come in contact with the (in our case wood) material being cut *. These peaks are therefore by definition the cutting edge. As mentioned before, our cutting edge is vulnerable to becoming dull and the relationship between the hardness of the steel and the hardness of the wood is a battle of survival. Fortunately this is not a battle to the death, but just to the next sharpening, and forsaking a nail or some other hard foreign object, the dulling and breaking off of these projecting peaks is just routine and expected in the course of using the tool.
*This should be considered theory because in a practical sense a sharpened tool will possess a burr, or a folded deformed metal lip at the very edge of the blade.
In the battle to cut the wood the peak in question is being challenged to perform their duty to cut over and over again and always newer wood fibers are in play and resisting the steel. The peaks of steel by their nature of being harder than the wood, are able to hold their ground for a longer or lesser time frame that is directly dependent upon factors like the inherent steel quality, the tempering of the steel and the hardness and composition of the wood. But this is a battle and the peaks are stressed to bend down into the wood and then bent up and away, sideways and all ways. They are bent because they are irregularly angled, beveled by their very nature of being multi faceted projections. A kinetic force directed against an angle always creates resistance that is directed away from the base of the angle, an angle redirects the force away from the angle bevel. This bending creates internal stresses in the metallurgy and metal fatigue undoubtedly will be a factor in the weakening of the peaks, ultimately resulting in the breaking off of the peak's pointed end. With each successive engagement as the front running soldier peaks go down in defeat the blade is duller and requires more effort on the part of the user to engage the blade to continue cutting the wood.
Because these mini battles of engagement occur thousands or tens of thousands of times with each planing stroke, such factors out of our reach like the inherent quality of the steel of the blade and the metallurgical skill of the blacksmith are called into question.
Finally with the front line of projecting 10,000 grit peaks broken off or bent from their heroic action, charging like soldiers with sabers drawn, but ultimately yielding and failing through fatigue. The battle is soon over because behind the initial 10k peaks are not more peaks but just valleys. The stumps of broken peaks with valleys behind will not cut the wood as expected and the owner of the blade, the General, has no other option but to withdraw and go and train and re-sharpen his front line. At this stage the definition of "how long" has been established.
A Different Strategy
The battle above was quick and the woodworker/General did gain some ground, but he lost all of his troops and their effective cutting abilities more quickly then he had hoped. It wasn't until later that he realized that the battle timed out so quickly because his troops were made up of only one shallow line of attack, just one point/10k/peak deep. And that once the front/10k line was gone there was not a second wave of attack sabers moving into position to cut and gain more ground over a longer period of time. The job of attacking created fatigue and fatigue created loss and the
losses mounted up to an overwhelming advantage to the opposite side.
The General came up with a new and improved plan, his goal was to fight a longer battle and to gain more ground. And to fulfill his promise to the troops to get the job done at all costs he decided that in the next battle he would have his first wave of soldiers/10K/peaks in the front line spread out a bit more from each other and thus creating a wider and irregular profile to confuse the enemy, and nestled in between these sabers, but pulled back just a bit would be some smaller sharper "snipers/15K/peaks" ready to attack as the front points fall when the fighting gets close and personal. He knew from experience that this first line of 10K/peaks would fail and reasoned that as they did he would back them up with the small points to keep the battle engaged. The General even decided that for the heck of it he'd throw in a few larger maybe duller 5K artillery points to do some heavy lifting in the thick of it all. He figured that these larger units being not as sharp and well trained could step in and maybe plough some head way on the initial charge. His whole idea was to create a multifaceted line of attack that might confuse the enemy and therefore help to lengthen the engagement. Remember, this was his goal, to fight longer.
And the next battle did last longer, the major and minor peaks worked side by side and backed each other up and the troops only had to pull back to re-tool after gaining much ground. The General was now inspired to develop and refine his team even further. His plan was to mix in with his known size and quantity soldier/peaks a different type of peak that was created at random
This secret weapon was to be inserted into and among his troops not during the battle but instead back at base camp, when the troops were re-tooling and rallying. During the re-tooling rally the troops peaks are refined and honed in readiness, it was then that the General mixed in his morphing mixture. Remember that the peak/points are created by an outside agency, the grit, and the grit determines through reduction what size the peaks will be. The General imported (it as cheaper to import that to manufacture from scratch domestically) a type of grit that during the honing process of the soldier's peaks this secret morphing grit changes size and breaks down into smaller units through friction, some of them become very, very small. The General's hypothesis was that these smaller morphed unit grits would not only help to create little dagger like miniature 20k-30k/peaks in random formation and size to cut the enemy, but they would also help to create behind and next to and in between the major and minor peaks mini valleys with mini peaks that would help to support, through a complex geometric matrix, the actual mass of the base of the larger peaks. This matrix could in theory through triangulation support the bases of the larger peaks during stressful situations during battle engagements. Some of these mini peaks by virtue of being set back and away from the leading edge larger solder/peaks, would also be available for service to engage in cutting as the major peaks in front became dull and discarded. It was like a second wave of attack..
In battle, it is the burden of the General to accept and manage the collateral loss through engagement of his troops, but this General figured that if his troops could endure a longer battle before having to retreat and re-tool at base camp, it would prove two things for future engagements: 1) his troops were able to serve a longer stretch in the field because of the support matrix network of bigger and smaller and random peaks joining forces helping to create less down-time; 2) that because of the longer time in the field, less demand was placed on the logistics team back at base camp resulting in less frequent retreats of shorter duration for the purpose honing peak/soldiers/points and thus fewer supplies used up with less burden on the grit/room/(sharpening stone grit) support team.
A battle to remember resulted, units and battalions responded when called upon, waged over what seamed like eons but effortless, the glory and the guts pealed away like ribbons of gossamer floating upon the waifs of aromatic joys, duty served, shoulders squared in pride, the General engaged in the type of contemplation that is only bestowed upon those devoted to others but at the same time cursed with new dreams and ideas,
plans, strategies.
Soldiers/peaks are parts of a bright steel line that when primped are sharpened to cut. The General's hand helped to bring to light the random cutting strategy action needed to maintain a longer lasting attack sequence. But seeing his troops stand erect in pride filled him with a bright light of inspiration that made is heart skip a beat for he knew now what was missing from the mix. Until this moment generals were expected to order the training of the troops under his command to strengthen their strengths and join in the way as it had always been done. Seeing troops advance into battle from the right, from the left, in a V formation or as a line head were known strategies tried and true but the General saw in his mind that the random peak/soldier could hold his own and stand taller longer if they were asked to do only one job at a time, the job that needed to be done at all cost, to cut.
The General saw his troops become tired and suffered fatigue in battle partly because they were moving into battle more often then not in an angled formation, either a right handed or left handed angle, therefore coming into contact with the enemy from one side or favoring one side or the other. This works to a degree but always puts enormous stresses on the peak/soldiers more on one side then the other. This favoring of one side creates stress-fractures in the peaks inner structure, maybe too small to be seen, they did however result in the premature breaking down of the points quicker. The General could see that his next big step in the war, was to train his troops to be ambidextrous. To train them to face the challenge head on with no favoritism for the right or the left. The peaks will stress anyhow because they are angled points, but this head on approach would relieve some of the side to side bending that the peaks were suffering from in the past. From that day forward the General pledged to shape all of his peak/soldiers training techniques around the random and straight on approach. Oh how men love the dirt, as boys and as grown men, they all love to get down and dirty and with the inspiration of their general and the fresh training approach of straight on fighting, shoulder side by side, a new strength was built into the troops, and they were very difficult to put down, the General was hailed by other Generals and copied near and far in his honing techniques as a master at shaping and of sharpening.
New Career
The General, needless to say, thought he had discovered something new in the world. So after that war and the many other wars that followed were finally over, he went into business for himself. He always loved tools and he felt that he could theoretically design a synthetic sharpening stone that would mimic some of the properties that he tested out in the ways of war. There was a lot of interest in the products that were being developed by other companies in the same field, but the General took all the time he needed to produce and finalize his sharpening stone. He did make a stone that had all of the attributes of his Big/Little/Random theory, and it was a very good stone indeed. He became an industry leader, had beautiful laboratories and a sales force beyond compare and in the end decided to retire.
The General, being a contemplative man, bought an island as a retreat. He built a home but found himself more and more drawn to a cave, a natural simple cave of stone he discovered in the mountain. He was at peace with himself, he knew that he had created the finest sharpening stone that man can make, and this was a gift of creation to many. Now craftspeople across the globe, because of his efforts, could enjoy the one thing that he had always strove for his entire life, a really good sharp pocket knife. As a kid his dad had instilled in him the reasoning and pleasure
of a good sharp blade, and the General had achieved his goal as a gift to all.
Of course it was not long in that cave before the General was humbled before the rock god. Sure enough and by luck or design he happened upon a stone within his own cave that displayed unequaled sharpening powers, the kind that is of myth and legend. He found that within that simple stone were the capabilities to sharpen the living daylights out of that little pocket knife of his. Now being a humble hermit at this stage of his life, his joy was small but deep and he was still curious as to how in the world could the rock gods provide such a stone that could sharpen better than his high-tech robotic made zippidee do dad deal he got goin back home.
To make a potentially longer story a bit shorter, the General found out through deep meditation and careful observation that the secret to the natural stones abilities were not only in the Big/Little/RandomGrit part of the stone. That, it turns out, was mere child's play. The real deal was in the binder that held the stone together. The mud or clay of the stone, the binder was the real deal. The beauty of the binder was in its special ability to release the grit particles when called upon so that they could roll around and do their thing, to pick up the grit and knock it around and break down into smaller particles that might awaken other grit still bound in the rock to engage in their duties. The real magic of the stone was its simplicity. Maybe even it's irregularity.
Day after Night
I agree with The General, he did a splendid job with his developments of the past, and an admirable display of compassion to escape his ego in order to look further inside the stone that was before him. And I agree with his understanding of the magic of the stone. I have myself have felt that the element that is so perfect in the Japanese water stones are the imperfection of the binder. So imperfect are the binders, that they are elegantly perfect. Most grit will break down when forced upon itself, diamonds will break diamonds, concrete does to itself, sand crushes to sand. Why shouldn't the grit particles of a sharpening stone, either man made or natural crush into smaller random particles during the sharpening process and thereby avail themselves to create the army the general strove for, Big/Little/Random/Free. The particles rolling around crushing against themselves, the steel will aid in the crush, but it must be grit against grit and they can only do that if they are free to slosh around in the slurry and knock against each other. If they are still bound up in the binder, no go, there is no chance of engagement.
The flat shiny mirror finish we see on a chisel or plane bevel after being sharpening with a man made synthetic stone is partly an illusion. When our eye is actively scanning for the symbol of sharp on our blade to tell us it is truly sharp, the image of sharp can be overridden by a powerful mnemonic memory image that shiny represents sharp. This "flat or shiny image as sharp" begins at an early age in children, a broken mirror is sharp, a shiny knife is sharp, a shiny car is dangerous. And to a children this information burns into us the easily recognizable symbols equating flat and shiny as sharp and dangerous. As we grow older, on a casual level if our eye tells our brain that something is flat and our brain tell us that flat item can be sharp. In this way and in everyday life our eye/brain does not need to look any further, we have our answer.
In the craft world because the type of sharpness like the ultimate edge cannot be easily seen with the naked eye, these degrees or types of sharpness are at first abstract to our brain. But because through our craft we are able to recognize empirically the limits of a dull blade and or a sharp blade our brains demand that we look closer with aids like with a microscope to see the flatness of something or the actual sharpness of something and from that time forward the flash of flat before our eyes looses its symbol for sharpness as we consciously retrain our craft oriented
brains to think differently.
Is flat also a component of sharp? The answer is yes, and it is a very important but it is only one component and it only matters as far as cutting goes if the blade is flat at the very edge where the front and the back of the blade meets. And is shiny an indication that something is sharp? Yes, but only to the degree relevant to the tool an its uses. Many wood workers and tool owners are accepting these same mirrored shiny looks as a substitute or as a definition for sharp. You really need to look more closely. If a blade is shiny you need to ask if it is shiny because it has been sharpened or because it has been burnished. The business end of a cutting tool is the forward edge, the edge that first engages the object to be cut. Behind that very extreme forward edge the usefulness of the tool becomes decreasingly less important, only a holder of the edge, a handle for the edge. A mirror finish on the general bevel is insignificant. This is the night, a mirror in the dark of night is an unknown and mysterious. Catching a glimpse of yourself or someone else? A mirror surface is not sharp, it is only shiny.
Traditional Japanese laminated tool blades were designed with the expectation that they would be sharpened using natural Japanese sharpening stones. This was pronounced during the Edo period when Japan was essentially closed to foreign trade, no sharpening stones were imported from Europe or the U.S. so by default all sharpening stones were domestic. Currently in Japan you will find that active and recently retired blacksmiths are and have been following an unbroken line of traditional forging techniques that are similar if not exactly like the Edo period blacksmiths, and that many strive to achieve the same results of their ancestors. These current blacksmiths are still forging blades with the expectation that they will have a final polish derived by using natural Japanese Tennen Natural sharpening stones, the type found near Kyoto but also in other parts of Japan, are complex in their material make up and contain tens if not hundreds of different elements and compounds. Some of the minerals and fossilized organic material act as cutting and polishing agents while some make up the binder portion of the stone that holds everything together. The harder minerals like chert, a form of flint, do most of the cutting while clays mostly make up the binder. Users of Japanese stones notice the contrast between the hard steel and the soft iron after sharpening, in Japan this is called Kasumi. Kasumi is a word that describes the fuzzy or hazy look objects take on when viewed over hot summer ground. The kasumi look is desirable to most Japanese tool users but few understand how this effect is achieved.
Taking into account the hardness of these blades, in the Rockwell 60-65 range, only a fraction of the available abrasive grit mix in these stones will actually polish the hard steel cutting edge, the clay certainly will not. But conversely because the iron backing on laminated blades is so soft almost every thing in the grit mixture will affect the polish of this softer iron material, even the softer flakier grit particles.
During the sharpening process the soft iron has been honed and reduced in mass by the effects of all of the grinding compounds working in unison. The chert which cuts the soft iron like butter and the clays, salts, radiolarians and even some silica that is a know element of some of the older wrought irons will help to sharpen or reduce the jigane soft iron as it is coaxed out of the iron base. The kasumi effect is basically the result of all of these lesser abrasives working together to sort of massage the surface of the iron, none of the abrasives acting on their own to over power the other, a little bit like Judo, which translates as "the soft way". The iron is changed and reduced and sharpened, but in a soft way.
The hard tool steel takes on a polished mirror look, some suggest it has the look of chrome. This microscopic scratch pattern in the hard steel that makes it look polished has been cut by only the hardest of the hard abrasive particles and it looks regular and finished. The soft iron on the other hand looks dull and complicated. This is the contrast in the polish that is achieved with the natural stones. Synthetic stones give an over all highly polished bevel while the natural stones allow the soft iron to look soft.
At this time I can only speculate as to what materials the major brands of synthetic stones are composed of. The formulas are proprietary knowledge. I would venture to guess however that a stone advertised as a ceramic stone is basically composed of just that, ceramic material & some fancy glue or a fused binder. No one is bragging about Rare Earth Elements or titanium or some other exotic formulas. I would think that the cost factor goes way up with a more complex addition of materials, and the way the synthetic stones work now suits most users up to a point. So
no need to change. Right.
In closing, I want to go back to the mystery of it all. Mystery to me does not mean secrets or devious plans or something that cannot ever be understood. To me mystery is a grey theme, some of this and some of that. Maybe something that is better left unknown, it is more fun that way and gives us all something to look forward to. Speaking of atoms and chemical makeup and the ultimate edge is just part of communication. But our tank of talk fills up pretty quickly. I want to tell you one last story.
Outside of Kyoto is a small town that you can easily get to by a local train, and within a stones throw of the station is the workshop of Hitomi Hideo.
A soft spoken man of forty five or so who has just within the last half of his life taken up the trade of his father and grandfather. Hideo-san did go to college, and used his degree successfully, but it was not until he returned home to work again with his father that he saw the grey light.
As a teenager Hideo-san worked with his father at the mine when he could, but never really liked it or thought much of it, hard dirty work it was and of course he had other things on his mind. But as a thirty something adult he came back and worked again with his ever aging father in the mine and workshop. Still the work was dirty, that had not changed, no it was Hitomi-san who had changed. He found himself one day performing the same work his grandfather as did his father who was now showing him how to do it. Hitomi-san told me that sometimes now he goes quietly into
the stone room at night, a massive dark ever cool room that holds raw stone that was hand stacked by his father and grandfather. He will pick up a slab and realizes at that moment that he holding something so unique in all the world that he actually shakes with excitement. Fifteen years ago if anyone had told him that they would have or have had this kind of empathy about a piece of stone, he would not believe them. But now he knows what his father and grandfather saw in the grey light of the mine.


I was amazed at the number of responses from my post yesterday. I had by far the highest single post viewership since I started blogging here and I want to thank all of you for your e-mails and Facebook posts. Feel free to post your comments here, for some reason people are not yet picking up on the idea that once you are here you can leave your comments on the blog, but you can do whatever you want.
Based on the reaction from yesterday, I can tell that several of you have also lost a child at some point in your life. And that may be a reason why this touched a nerve with so many of you. Death is already impossible to deal with but death of a child tends to make us plunge into oblivion. Faith or no faith, you will falter and you might cry out for mercy. No one can withstand alone the blows of a death that could possibly be avoided. No one can escape the regrets. No one has survived it unscathed.
My friends Jim and Stephanie Fish find themselves in that sea of grief today. I just attended the memorial service for their son, Evan Fish, who died a tragic death last week at the tender age of 21. No words can describe the range of human emotions present in that room in our church today. I compare it to cutting raw flesh. If you've ever had a razor accidentally penetrate your flesh you will know what I am talking about. But instead of a razor, think of the blade of a guillotine severing not only your head, but cutting through your soul bit by bit. That is the nature of the torture that comes from the tragic death of a child.
There are too many "if I had's," "if I had not's," "if I should've," "if I sould've not" to drive anyone insane. No matter how many times you try to put the puzzle together, the pieces are always missing and though you might try a life time would not be enough to figure out what could have been.
The biggest mistake I made with regard to my son was to think that somehow I was immune to that kind of suffering. There are people who, having looked upon the suffering of the world, conclude categorically that there cannot possibly be a God. They cannot see any meaning in suffering. That is no different from the mistake I made. But remember: the fact that YOU can't see any meaning in suffering does not prove that there can't be any meaning in suffering. My son's death strengthened my faith and built character in me. It brought me closer to God and to my family. It allowed me to be in the most vulnerable position I had never been — one of a fragile, shattered vase that needed to be put together by forces other than his own intellect and charm.
These were Jim's words to me today, "I would lie to you if I said I am not struggling," but then he added, "But I am trying to bring glory to God through all of this." God will get the glory, my friend, just keep being real and don't be afraid to grieve.

With canyons, gardens, waterfalls and more, Zion Canyon National Park is amazing on its own, but the entire surrounding area adds depth to amaze the visitor, including historical, cultural and natural attractions.
Zion Canyon National Park should be in the hall of fame of national parks, if such a thing existed. With slot canyons, red sandstone walls, hanging gardens, endemic species, waterfalls and desert streams, Zion is beautiful, inspiring, challenging, and more. It's the type of place the national parks system was created to protect.
Zion Highlights
Zion Canyon
The center of the park and its main attraction, Zion Canyon is visible from a number of different perspectives, including scenic drives, day hikes, and long multi-day excursions along the rims. The red sandstone cliffs harbor an astounding selection of cliffs, canyons, waterfalls and more.
One of the most famous locations in the entire park, this monolith towers into the center of the canyon, seemingly stretching into the sky. The tiny plateau is reachable by a day hike, strenuous but worth every drop of sweat.
Zion Narrows
There isn't much that could prepare someone for the sight of sandstone cliffs nearly closing in on themselves, hundreds of feet above river on the narrow canyon floor. It's simply one of those wonders that must be experienced to understand.
Emerald Pools
Emerald Pools has waterfalls, hanging gardens filled with flowers, dew-dripping ferns, pools to beat the heat and pictures to take home. This is one of the must-see highlights of the entire canyon.
The Subway
It may be a difficult place to get to, but The Subway is an incredible route for canyoneering adventurers, following the river through the course it cut over thousands of years. Not too difficult to conquer, it's a perfect way to get newcomers hooked into this growing sport.
Weeping Rock
This is a textbook example of a hanging garden, complete with drip-lines, ferns, flowers, waterfalls and overhanging pool to keep everything cool. The intricacy and complexity of the micro-climate will astound anyone who is the least bit interested in plants.
Zion Activities
Since the very beginning, hiking has been a popular activity in Zion. Trails have been cut, maintained, repaired, and expanded until the massive system of trails was created, which is today used by thousands of visitors. The options are diverse, offering something for everyone.
This sport could easily have been invented and developed specifically for this area. Descend steep canyon walls, rappel, downclimb and traverse uncertain waters in some of the many canyoneering areas of the park.
Any climber who looks at the slot canyons, the giant monoliths at Angel's Landing or The Sentinel feels that itch in the fingers, reaching for a cam to put in those perfect cracks.
Backpackers who enjoy getting off the trail will find themselves at home in Zion. As always, it takes a good deal of effort and self-motivation to get out into the wild, but those who do will appreciate it even more.
Zion Park Canyons
Mystery Canyon
This canyon has always lured in adventuring visitors, even retaining "interesting" anchors from the past, when there were no standards. The canyoneering is spectacular, including tight canyon walls, a seasonal lake, and a 120 ft. rappel.
Pine Creek Canyon
Convenient, tight, technical - a canyoneering dream! There are multiple rappels down this moderately technical trail, which is one of the more popular trails in the park, due to its ease-of-access and duration.
Heaps & Imlay Canyon
If you're even considering these technical, multi-day canyons, then you must be a adventure addict. The 300-foot rappels, hours swimming in cold potholes, and ratings of 4B R V all mean serious business.
Echo Canyon
Ever wonder what those canyoneers are raving about? Echo Canyon is an opportunity to get into the slot canyons, wade through some rivers without all the technical skills or gear.
Orderville Canyon
Orderville Canyon is a great way to reach the Zion Narrows without the crowds doing the full hike, all the while exploring an even-narrower slot canyon, at times only 10 feet wide.
Keyhole Canyon
Take a couple hours to explore Keyhole Canyon, a short, moderately technical canyoneering route. Rappels are short, the downclimbing minimal, but the swimming is cold and intense, so travel light and come prepared.
Dinosaur Discovery Site
Take a look a footprints over a foot long from real dinosaurs. The long-extinct creatures walked in the area, leaving impressing proof of their habits and incredible size.
Historic Rock Church
History for the Mormons in Utah began in Mount Carmel, where they founded their first settlement and church. Take a look at the beginnings of one of Utah's most influential groups.
Zion Human History Museum
Zion Canyon has a long history with human, starting over 12,000 years ago when the first people used it as part of their hunting grounds. This museum details and explains the discovered artifacts and humans' influence in the canyon.
Brigham Young Winter Home
For those unfamiliar with this looming figure in pioneering America, Brigham Young lead the Mormons from the east to start their permanent settlement in Utah. His winter home has been converted into a museum, paying homage to his life.
Washington City Museum and Monument Plaza
Get a taste of local history at this museum, showcasing the development of the town, including antiques and artifacts belonging to the original settlers of the area.
Sears Art Gallery & Museum
Take a look at artists, both local and national, who have made a name in the area. Portraits, landscapes, western scenes and more are on display at this museum, which helps support the local art scene.
Red Cliffs Recreational Area
Located just north of St. George, this recreation area offers hiking and biking trails in a spiderweb network that has views of the surrounding cliffs, volcanos, mountains and desert scenes.
Pipe Spring National Monument
While certainly not the most famous of sites, this National Monument is an oasis in the desert that provided water to humans for thousands of years, including the first Utah Mormons. The exhibits explain the bitter struggle over the desert's most precious commodity.
Coral Pink Sand Dunes
A photographer's dream, this state park has sand dunes of pink, red, and beige stretching over three thousand acres. Hikers, off-roaders and massive sandcastles all share this special land.
Snow Canyon State Park
Black volcanic rock contrasts the red sandstone, creating beautiful and unique scenery for the hikers and bikers who explore this area just north of St. George.
Quail Creek State Park
Locals know Quail Creek for the hiking, boating, camping and picnic opportunities on the lake, giving some respite from the hot summer, or an outlet for winter activity.
Sand Hollow State Park
Off-roading, mountain biking, fishing and more are all available in this small, but popular, state park located to the east of St. George.
Zion Canyon Scenic Drive
Few drives can boast the sites of this 6.5 mile drive up the canyon floor of Zion Canyon. The route passes some of Zion's most famous sites, including Angel's Landing, The Sentinel, and the Temple of Sinawava.
Zion-Mount Carmel Highway
Descending to the floor of Zion Canyon, passing from the canyon rim, through an impressive 1.1-mile tunnel, then coming out to continue past the abstract geological formations in the sandstone cliffs.
Kolob Canyons Road
Often forgotten in the northwest corner of the park, Kolob Canyon is a completely separate canyon, uniquely beautiful. This scenic drive is a great way to get acquainted with the area.
Kolob Terrace Road
Running right between the Kolob and Zion Canyon, this road access the highlands of Zion, including Lava Point, where the entire park seems to stretch out in front of the overlook.
Snow Canyon Road
If you're pressed for time, make time to pass through this convenient scenic drive up Snow Canyon. It will astound passengers and drivers alike with red and black rocks in swirling formations.
St. George Trail System
While passing through St. George, make sure to take advantage of the extensive trail system, both inside and around the city. There are trails for hikers, bikers and others outdoor enthusiasts.

Secluded from the street amidst a tranquil bushland escape, this well maintained home offers a wonderfully relaxed ambience and low maintenance lifestyle. Private yet convenient, it's within walking distance to buses, while near Warringah Mall and schools.
47 Ryan Place, Beacon Hill NSW 2100 was last sold in 2011 and 31 other 4 bedroom house in Beacon Hill have recently been sold.
In this street, the most recent sale of another house with 4 beds, 2 baths, 1 parking space was at number 53, which sold about 4 years ago.
