New traditional medicine 'park" in China to raise standards
Publication Date : 05-05-2014
Bank manager Xie Qing, 49, is a great believer in the cures of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), be it wolfberries to strengthen her vision or lingzhi mushrooms to fight against viral infections.
But the Shenzhen resident is wary of the quality of the herbs sold in stores and prescribed by clinics. "Expensive herbs like cordyceps should be quite rare but you can buy them everywhere now," she says. "I do not know which to choose given the scandals about low-quality TCM."
It is such headaches that an upcoming TCM park in Hengqin, Guangdong province, hopes to treat, by setting higher standards for Chinese herbs and minerals.
A collaboration between the Macau and Guangdong governments, the 500,000 sq m park is envisaged to establish stricter quality controls and an incubation centre for research and development into new products. Building according to a 10 billion yuan (US$1.6 billion) masterplan by Singapore's Ascendas is under way and it aims to open in 2020 with 300 firms.
Says Albert Chui, its business development manager: "The problem with TCM products from China is the 'trust issue'. We hope to help address that."
TCM, which claims a lineage of 5,000 years, remains popular in China including special administrative regions Hong Kong and Macau, and other Chinese-majority societies like Singapore and Taiwan, even as it gains a following in other parts of the world.
It is a burgeoning industry: A new World Health Organisation (WHO) study found that TCM has gained a <NO1>foothole<NO>foothold in more than 100 countries, with some 100,000 clinics, 300,000 practitioners and 1,000 training institutions.
Within China itself, those seeking TCM treatment account for a fifth of all medical visits. The country is also a major exporter of TCM products, accounting for over 90 per cent of raw materials.
But the industry has been plagued with safety issues, ranging from tainted products to those that have been downright faked.
Last year, checks by environmental group Greenpeace on 65 herbs from China and Hong Kong stores found 26 containing pesticides classified as "extremely or highly hazardous" by WHO. Separately, a batch of medicine sold by popular chain Beijing Tong Ren Tang was recalled by Hong Kong authorities last May for containing excessive amounts of mercury.
There have also been poisoning cases on the mainland from ingestion of counterfeit medicine.
All this means that buyers are often left wondering about the safety of TCM products.
TCM store Wing Fook Lung in Hong Kong's Sheung Wan, for instance, has had to prove to customers that its products are safe.
Owner Lok Chun Hin recalled a 2011 scandal in China where Chinese yam was dyed white with sulphur. "I had to soak several pieces of my Chinese yam in water for hours to show it was sulphur-free before I could sell it."
The issue, said Professor Albert Leung, director of the School of Chinese Medicine at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, is the implementation of safety standards within mainland China.
On paper, the standards that the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) sets are actually high, said Chui. "The problem is with the people executing them."
This is where the Hengqin park aims to come in. A lab run by Macau University and Macau University of Science and Technology has been designated as China's first state key laboratory in TCM. It will design the park's quality control standards and hire those conducting the checks.
"Macau personnel will ensure that no one cuts corners, as what happens in China," said Chui.
Companies will need to use suppliers with good track records. After sending their products to CFDA for mandatory tests, firms have to send them for stricter checks at the park. Products can then be sold with a quality seal.
The park will also allow companies to collaborate with the universities on new products. Chui cited a Guangzhou firm <that has hundreds of family recipes but does not have the resources to research them. "But in our incubation centre, we can help."
The park will thus also benefit small and medium-sized firms.
The park's impact seems limited – at least for now, given the size of the industry. There are some 2,500 TCM manufacturers in mainland China alone, according to the CFDA website. It is also unclear to what extent there will be buy-in among companies. Costs will go up by 10 per cent, admitted Chui.
A spokesman for Hu Qing Yu Tang Drugstore in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, is concerned about costs. But with room for more to be done to build up his company's image, he said it is keen on participating in the Hengqin project.
Prof Leung said the park's efforts are a small but significant step to clean up the industry. "My sense is that Macau is investing in TCM quite aggressively. If they do it, they will be better than the local governments."
The project has attracted high-level interest. WHO's director-general Margaret Chan visited the site in November, as have delegations from India, South Africa and Brazil.

More evidence of 8GB iPhone 3GS appears on Rogers site
More evidence of an upcoming 8GB iPhone 3GS model has appeared on Rogers Wireless' website. Under the "iPhone Comparison" tab on Rogers' iPhone 3GS mini-site, the company has posted a comparison chart for the iPhone 3G and 3GS which shows an 8GB option listed for both models. Curiously, the chart appears to be the only current reference to an 8GB iPhone 3GS on the site, which otherwise notes that the 3GS starts at $199 for a 16GB model. Screenshots published last week suggested that the company is working to sell out its existing stock of 8GB iPhone 3G units in preparation for the arrival of the new low-end 3GS. [via Mac Rumors]

I'm not gonna lie. I may be the only person in America who isn't annoyed only by Vienna. Honestly, I think her and Alli both need to take a hike on that show!
BUT, we all knew she was married since she told Jake, but it turns out her ex-husband is ready to talk. Here's what he has to say...
Josh Riley
Us Magazine
that the 23-year-old former Hooters waitress withdrew his last $5,000 from his bank account to pay for breast implants while he was deployed in Iraq with the Marines.
His mom added that when Riley returned from his tour of duty, Girardi "had locked his belongings in storage and would not tell us where they were."
Riley, who was married to Girardi for ten months, also claims that while he was in Iraq, "she slept with one of my buddies I was deployed with ... I'm 99 percent sure she cheated on me."
He concluded, "Marrying her was a mistake."

I agree with you. Alli definitely needs to take a hike too. I can't stand her. She just eggs Vienna on and she would be bad enough on her own. Jake, kick 'em both to the curb! My prediction: Gia and Tenley will be the final two.

Microsoft Office for iPad update includes printing options for each app and more
Almost exactly one month after Microsoft promised it would add printing support to Office for iPad, the productivity suite has updated to include printing and several other improvements.
Microsoft's Office for iPads apps are beautiful and robust apps that work wonderfully. Except for one thing. Until today, you couldn't print hard copies using the apps. In Pocket-lint's hands-on review of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for iPad, we poured over the apps, examined their look and feel and numerous rich features, and we eventually noticed they lacked any printing functionality.
Without support for printing, you'd have to share a finished project to another device or use third-party app to print a physical copy. That's awfully tedious and absurd for an app suite meant to aid productivity. We kept in mind however they were first-version apps, and that adding print options to them was a simple task. All Microsoft needed to do was issue an update to correct its glaring omission. And, apparently, the company has done just that.
"Your top request is here," announced Microsoft in a blog post. "You can now print Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations to an AirPrintTM printer. In Word for iPad, you can choose to print a document with or without markup. In Excel, print a selected range, a single worksheet or an entire spreadsheet. Of course, you can select the pages or slides you want to print."
READ: Office for iPad apps to add printing options soon, says Microsoft
As for other changes in the update, Microsoft said it added SmartGuides to PowerPoint. The feature will help you align pictures, shapes, and textboxes within a slide. Excel also received AutoFit, enabling you to adjust the width of multiple rows or the height of multiple columns at the same time. And finally, the first update to Office for iPad also includes unspecified bug fixes and stability improvements.
You can grab the updated Word, Excel and PowerPoint app for iPad in the App Store today. It requires an Office 365 subscription but also comes with a 30-day free trial.

Former Democratic Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle said that several years ago John McCain came close to leaving the Republican Party and caucusing with Senate Democrats.
During Daschle's appearance Sunday on MSNBC's "Meet the Press," host Tim Russert noted that Daschle said in February, "It's true that we were once close to bringing John McCain into the Democratic caucus. There are many who can verify that." Russert asked, "John McCain almost became a Democrat?"
Daschle answered: "Never a Democrat, but an independent. He was so angry at the way he was treated and the problems he had with the Bush administration in 2001, Tim, that he came to us and said, 'Look, I'm seriously considering becoming an independent and caucusing with you. Let's talk about it.' And we did."
"Aligning himself with the Democrats in the Senate?" Russert asked.
"Exactly," Daschle replied.
McCain vied with George Bush for the GOP presidential nomination in 2000 and accused Bush supporters of running a smear campaign against him. After Bush won the election and took office, McCain broke with the administration on a number of issues.
Russert asked Daschle, who is an adviser to the Barack Obama campaign, "Then how can you run against [McCain] as a Bush third term?"
Daschle responded: "Because in the course of that period from 2001 to 2008 . . . he's become a very ideologic advocate for the Bush policies on Iraq, on the economy, on tax policy, on domestic policy. Across the board he is espousing the Bush policies. He's changed a lot since 2001."
"Why?" Russert queried.
"Well, I think because he felt he needed to do that to win the nomination," was Daschle's response.
Daschle's assertions came several weeks after liberal blogger Arianna Huffington claimed that she attended a dinner party after the 2000 election where she heard McCain and his wife say they did not vote for Bush.
"I voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004," McCain told Fox News when questioned about the claim. "And not only that, far more important than a vote, I campaigned everywhere in America for him."
But the Democrats insist that McCain was not happy with the Bush administration, at least during the president's first term.
Sen. John Kerry, the Democratic nominee for president in 2004, when questioned about McCain's interest in joining the Democratic caucus said, "It doesn't surprise me completely because his people similarly approached me to engage in a discussion about his potentially being on the ticket as vice president. So his people were active — let's put it that way."

The Historically Black Collegiate Coalition (HBCC), NBC Sports, the Southwestern Athletic Conference and Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference have agreed to a new, multi-year deal where McDonald's Heritage Bowl will be televised live on NBC starting this December. Sponsorship packages will be sold by the HBCC, a division of Universal Sports America (USA) and NBC Sports. NBC will handle int'l TV distribution and produce the Bowl's Web presence on MSNBCSports (USA). OTHER NOTES: Houstonian George Foreman's January '99 fight vs. Larry Holmes could take place at the Astrodome. An Astrodome exec said "the deal was close but not yet final" (HOUSTON CHRONICLE, 9/10)....Asked if the '99 Pilot Pen Int'l will be played in New Haven, CT, in '99, PPI CEO Mike Davies said, "At this point, it's still debatable. Our investors are not too excited about pouring money into this event without a return." Although the women's event "seems secure," Davies said that the combined tournaments lost more than $1M this year (HARTFORD COURANT, 9/9)....On-site attendance for the 36-day meeting at Saratoga Springs Raceway was 887,752, an average daily attendance of 24,660 -- up 7.4% from '97 (Albany TIMES-UNION, 9/8).

Lawyers & Law Firms
This along with Sam Rubenfeld's blog provide great insight to the legislation, thanks. Earlier this morning I interviewed one of the Act's key architects, Charles Monteith. You can hear it here: http://bit.ly/j44bM5
There must be the Mother of all Laundry Bills at Buckingham Gate, the headquarters of Rolls Royce. Now the UK engine manufacturer can no longer openly bribe foreign officials as in the past and the two American engine manufacturers can now have a level playing field. The days of a 47% "Commission" to Abdul Aziz bin Ibrahim for that fleet of 747 Rolls powered aircraft for Saudia are over. Aziz, the brother in law of th4 King also brought down BCCI Bankat about the same time.
What i observed that many people in the anti-bribery community have criticized recent guidance on the Act for indicating the UK Fraud Office would be too soft on hospitality issues. However there is a similar situation in different countries of the world, i would recomend you to read the laws of 25 countries here http://www.arablawsworld.com and do the comparison.

Dia De Los Toadies III
You have to hand it to The Toadies for their ability to capitalize on a 16-year-old record. None of their other efforts have aged as well as Rubberneck, but they've managed to maintain a strong fanbase—strong enough, at least, to draw about 5000 diehards to a remote location in Texas during the hottest month of summer for a concert.
But it's not just any concert: This is Dia De Los Toadies, and this weekend at Whitewater On The Horseshoe in New Braunfels marks the third year of the sweat-drenched rock 'n' roll festival.
This year's bill isn't necessarily the strongest yet. Last year's heavy hitters, The Secret Machines and Bowling For Soup, will be missed. But where the festival lacks in headlining bands, it makes up for it in numbers. See, there are twice the number of bands on the this year's bill than either of the two previous years. Joining the Toadies for this go 'round are Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears, Heartless Bastards, Centro-matic, Sleepercar, Girl in a Coma, Two Tons of Steel, Bright Light Social Hour, Descender and Here Holy Spain. And to top it off, the Toadies have added a campfire-style acoustic performance on Friday night, which leads into Saturday's full-blown rock show featuring its Texas-only lineup.

More items for
Program/Project Management
Bids will be accepted Feb. 17 for coatings, concrete repair and related rehabilitation work on the Ambridge/Aliquippa Bridge over the Ohio River.
The 1,908-foot-long, 30-foot-wide, cantilever truss bridge, operated by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, was built in 1927 and last rehabilitated in 2000.
Pre-1930 Cantilever Truss Structure
Although commonly referred to as the Ambridge-Aliquippa Bridge for the two towns it connects, the plaque on the bridge lists its official name as the Ambridge-Woodlawn Bridge. Woodlawn was a former town that later became part of Aliquippa, according to www.historicbridges.org.
Ambridge is a company town named for the American Bridge Co., which built the bridge.
The bridge is one of the few remaining pre-1930 cantilever truss bridges in the United States. It has twice as many piers as a classic cantilever bridge.
The 10-span bridge carries a two-lane street, a sidewalk, and several utilities over the Ohio River, a highway, a Conrail track and a CSXT (formerly Three Rivers Railroad) track.
Project Scope
The project includes cleaning and coating approximately 374,500 square feet of new and existing structural steel surfaces. The steel will be abrasive blast-cleaned to SSPC-SP 10 (near white), tested for soluble salt with chloride remediation as needed, and recoated with a three-coat organic zinc-epoxy-urethane system.
Containment according to SSPC-Guide 6 and waste disposal according to Guide 7 are required.
The project includes power tool-cleaning to bare metal (SP 11) and priming 17,800 square feet of new and existing steel mating surfaces using an approved organic zinc-rich primer. The project also includes 9,135 square yards of penetrating sealant protective coating application for reinforced concrete superstructure surfaces.
The project must be completed by Oct. 12, 2012.
Reported by Paint BidTracker, a construction reporting service devoted to identifying contracting opportunities for the coatings community.

This is great news to JoBros fans everywhere since Kevin Jonas is married with children. While we want Joe to be happy no matter what, we know that deep down, every girl wants him to be single. Well, every girl except Taylor Swift.
Apparently the split was mutual and the two are still friends, but nothing more.

This movie is a lot of fun. In 3D. I suspect its impact will be considerably diminished in 2D, so I urge anyone who wants to see it to seek out the 3D version. There are lots of beautifully constructed tracking shots where the camera glides and swirls forward, back up and down, and trees, rocks, arrows, dragons or whatever slip past the edges of the frame, and this effect is stunning in 3D. In fact, all the action scenes are stunning in 3D, particularly the climactic battle with a top-notch, fire belching monster of a dragon.
The plot isn't much to write home about (although there's just a hint of a theological debate about the way Christianity has displaced the old mythic religions, which made me think for about 5 seconds). The acting is variable - Robin Wright-Penn is fine, but about as sexy as a paper cup, Hopkins is his usual reliable self, Ray Winstone is suitably heroic as the heroic, self-aggrandising Beowulf, and Crispin Glover is just brilliant as Grendel. Grendel is a lovely creation, oozing slime and blood, and wracked with pain.
But who cares about all that. This is not a scholarly work, it's entertainment. And my wife and I were as royally entertained as the kids surrounding us in the cinema (and we're both 40-somethings). Leave your serious head (and any timid youngsters) at home, and go and have fun.
Animation / Action
Animation / Action
Set against the coming of Christianity, this is the story of the last hero: in 507, a monstrous troll wreaks havoc in the mead hall of the Danish king, Hrothgar. He offers rewards for the death of Grendel, so Beowulf, a great and boastful Geat warrior, arrives with his thanes. Beowulf sets aside his armor and awaits the monster; a fierce battle ensues that leads to Beowolf's entering the watery lair of Grendel's mother, where a devil's bargain awaits. Beowulf returns to Herot, the castle, and becomes king. Jump ahead many years, and the sins of the father are visited upon Beowulf and his kingdom. The hero must face his weakness and be heroic once again. Is the age of demons over?

Glorious 3D treat requiring little brain engagement
This movie is a lot of fun. In 3D. I suspect its impact will be considerably diminished in 2D, so I urge anyone who wants to see it to seek out the 3D version. There are lots of beautifully constructed tracking shots where the camera glides and swirls forward, back up and down, and trees, rocks, arrows, dragons or whatever slip past the edges of the frame, and this effect is stunning in 3D. In fact, all the action scenes are stunning in 3D, particularly the climactic battle with a top-notch, fire belching monster of a dragon.
Fun, handsome, but spoilt by 3D
Pretty much everyone knows the story of Beowulf - man fights monster, monster's mum and then a dragon - but this ancient story has inspired generations of writers and academics, now it gets a shiny makeover courtesy of Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary.
Beowulf (the man) could have been written as a cookie-cutter hero, but fortunately he's something else - fallible and not yet the hero he must become later in the movie. But (and this is really hard without spoiling the movie), the battle that turns him into a hero also leads inexorably to his undoing. That's something the two writers have brought to the millennia old text and it works perfectly to help fill in some of the gaps in the original poem and provide a back story to events.
A special mention also to Crispin Glover's Grendel. I wasn't particularly struck with the physical realisation of the monster, but the performance is knock out. Instead of just being a rampaging beast, Grendel is almost something to be pitied - a misshapen outcast with noisy neighbours, and his final scene is remarkably touching. Oh and if you don't understand Grendel, you clearly haven't been keeping up with your Old English classes!
But let's be honest, everyone watches a movie about Vikings for the action. And Beowulf delivers this in spades. Here comes my first proviso - Beowulf in the UK is getting a 12A rating, but there is no way I would take a 12 year old to see this film in all its eye-ball spearing, spine-snapping, ligament-tearing glory. This movie would get a higher rating had it been shot in real-life and it's worth considering this before packing the kids into the car. Mostly the violence is justified, but it is there and it's NOT cartoony.
The animation is the talking point of this movie, and its a real step on from the zombified performance of 'Polar Express'. The impression of living, breathing flesh is almost complete with the exception of strangely dead eyes - this movie is a landmark in computer imagery. The majority of the characters are stunningly rendered (Beowulf in particular) in close up, but they somehow look less convincing at a distance. Generally the men are better done than the women, with Queen Wealthow the spitting image of Julie Andrew's queen in Shrek 2.
So, its a violent special effects triumph - could anything be wrong?
Actually yes.
Two things. One - the accents. Oh dear god in heaven above what were they thinking - this is a treasure house of appalling voices, Irish(ish), Scottish(ish), Welsh(ish) are all thrown into the mix, but the standout horrors are Jon Malkovich's take on Danish which might have been inspired by the Muppets and Angelina Jolie dusting off her accent from 'Alexander'.
The second is the 3D projection. For reasons best known to studio executives we're all meant to get very excited by 3D all over again. Beowulf is one of the first movies to be released in the UK using REALD - a system familiar to anyone who has been to a Disney park in the last 20 years. The animators of Beowulf clearly had great fun working out new ways of making things jump out of the screen at the audience, but the effect becomes slightly wearisome after a minute or two. Fortunately things settle down later in the movie and the makers stop trying to show off their new technology.
More disappointing, the poor quality of the Polaroid glasses you have to wear make the image slightly blurry and spoilt by reflections. After years waiting for the crystal clarity of digital projection, the whole thing has been undone by a gimmick. If you have a choice, you might be better off seeing a regular 2D version.
A final comment, Beowulf spends part of the movie naked, bet you can't watch it and not think of Austin Powers.
Surprisingly Good - A 3D Treat
When going into the theatre to see this I in two minds - it was my first 3D movie and I had heard good things, however I wasn't particularly taken by the concept or the trailers. I was unsure what to expect, however I ended up leaving the cinema extremely satisfied with the film, and tellingly, unable to stop discussing it long after the ride home.
Visually it is an absolute treat, Zemeckis uses 3D superbly, some of the camera angles and sequences are as great an art as the photo-realistic animation. Occasionally the odd shot appears where the impression is that it was set up solely to emphasise the 3D (e.g. starting at the end of a branch and panning out) and whilst this doesn't add to the film it is actually a pleasant reminder of the novelty of 3D.
There are only two areas that let Beowulf down aesthetically: the eyes and the mouth. The eyes were static throughout and it is the little details that make the difference when trying to make something as uber-realistic as this, such as the fact that the pupils didn't react to light. As for the lips - they're just not quite there yet - sometimes the speech didn't seem to be quite right.
The characters are expertly introduced and developed, most notably Anthony Hopkins character, Hrothgar and the tension between his wife. Grendell and his mother are wonderfully creepy and seductive, and bizarrely enough almost encourage sympathy.
For me the most disappointing part of the film was actually Ray Winstone as the titular character - he was fantastic when talking in a low growl, however the film really suffers when he shouts in full cockney accent. "I will kill your monstah!". I half expected Grendell's head to be smashed between a car and it's door. John Malkovitch is a saving grace with his none-more-sinister voice and interesting faith sub-plot.
The rating for this film has been hotly discussed and in my opinion I do not think it is suitable for children under the age of 12. Grendell would have truly terrified me as a child. The violence, as well as bawdiness, does not make it a family film for young children although having said that the lewd references do provide good humour and balances out the movie.
So, overall, this was worthy of an 8. Breathtaking animation, incredible action (especially the finale featuring an excellent dragon) and a generally brilliant cast. Beowulf throws down the gauntlet to film-makers to show what can be done with 3D and is an indication of the potential. It's not all the way there yet, but it's a damn good start.

MWC Preseason Release | AVCA Preseason Top-25
By Danny Mattie
Athletic Media Relations
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – With five returning starters and an incoming freshman class ranked No. 15 nationally by PrepVolleyball.com, the CSU volleyball team, coming off of a 25-6 season that included an MWC title, a final No. 17 national ranking, and a trip to the NCAA Regional Semifinals, was selected as the preseason favorite in the Mountain West by the league's coaches and a panel of select media.
Colorado State received 15 of 16 first-place votes to run away with the top spot in the preseason rankings, tallying 134 total points. Utah finished second in the vote with 104 points, followed by TCU (99) and New Mexico (96). BYU rounded out the top 5 with 85 points and was the only other program to receive a first-place vote. San Diego State (62) came in sixth, ahead of Wyoming (43), UNLV (36) and Air Force (16).
Two Rams also received recognition on the 2010 preseason All-MWC squad, highlighted by senior outside hitter Danielle Minch who was voted the favorite to repeat as Mountain West Player of the Year. Additionally, CSU's junior setter Evan Sanders, a 2009 all-MWC selection in her first season as the Rams' starter, was picked as the preseason Setter of the Year.
Other preseason all-MWC selections included New Mexico's Jade Michaelsen, San Diego State's Lauren Salisbury, Utah's Karolina Bartkowiak and Wyoming's Jody Purdy. Keisha Fisher of Utah was picked as the league's top libero.
Colorado State begins the 2010 campaign Aug. 27, hosting the Coors Rocky Mountain Challenge. The Rams open the season against ACC power Duke at 7 p.m. at Moby Arena. The Rams begin defense of the 2009 MWC title Sept. 24 at BYU. CSU's conference home opener is slated for Sept. 30 at 7 p.m. vs. San Diego State.
CSU enters the 2010 season looking for its 16th consecutive season with at least 20 victories and an appearance in the NCAA tournament.
AVCA national rankings announced
The American Volleyball Coaches' Association (AVCA) also announced its preseason Top-25 coaches' poll on Tuesday afternoon. Colorado State begins the 2010 campaign right where it left off in 2009: ranked No. 17 in the nation.
Colorado State's 2010 schedule will feature matches against six opponents that are either ranked or receiving votes in the preseason, highlighted by a Sept. 4 matchup at No. 13 Florida as part of the Gators' Campus USA Credit Union Invitational.
The schedule also includes non-conference home matchups with Duke (Aug. 27) and Long Beach State (Sept. 17), both of which are receiving votes.
Three other Mountain West Conference schools – Utah, New Mexico and San Diego State – are also receiving votes.

Great facility Lots of presentations , classes and exhibits. Gift shop has lots of great items. The staff is exceptionally qualified and very engaging
This spot is gorgeous. The trails are very well marked and they have distances that are manageable even for my 2 and 4 year old's little legs. The store wasn't open when we were there, but it looked really nice. We saw so many birds in the short time we were there, my kids loved it. I definitely suggest bringing...
We were there for a dinner and speaker, but during the cocktail; hour we strolled around. Lots of trails for walking, and a great display of hunting birds. The Barred Owls were amazing. They "talked" to us! I will be going back with the kids.
Brought the grandchildren to see many different hawks, eagles, and owls.....they were mesmerized....and so were we. the exhibits are well done and fascinating
Came here on a warm day for a walk and was pleasantly surprised at what was on offer. Worth a visit.
The McLane Audubon center is just beautiful. I just had my wedding there June 13th and it was magical. We decided to have both ceremony & reception outside.

Took my young granddaughter, who loved the rescued birds and hiking around the more open area of the woods near the bird sanctuary. We didn't attempt the grassier trails.

This highly informative visitor centre has great facilities and displays. The trails are a little disappointing, in that the lake views are very limited (overgrowth of vegetation) and you'd be very lucky to see a loon!

Music Review: Frank Ocean - hip hop opens its mind and its heart
When Ocean came out about his sexuality last year, the result was … warm acceptance and a new, wider audience for his angelic talents
Saturday 13 July 2013
Angels have no gender. In Christian art, chiefly as a result of a common interpretation of Matthew 22:30 ("At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven"), they are invariably depicted as either entirely sexless, or tacitly male with no sexual characteristics. This is why the sung falsetto is routinely described as "angelic": it floats somewhere between the two genders, and its associations with chastity date back to the castrato eunuchs in Byzantine choirs.
Frank Ocean – a bisexual soul singer with, when he chooses to deploy it, a sublime falsetto voice – is some kind of angel, for sure. Not that his music is devoid of sex, exactly. On the contrary. But his songs are almost always above mere base lust, and concerned with the longing, rather than the act.
When Ocean came out about his sexuality with an impossibly beautiful Tumblr post which transformed him from outstanding talent to full-on hero in a few taps of a keyboard, many doom-mongers saw it as career suicide given that, as a member of the Odd Future/OFWGKTA collective, he was operating within the historically homophobic culture of hip hop. Instead, it turned out to be a career masterstroke, sealing his status as a cause célèbre among the liberal-minded for being so ruddy bloody brave (as Partridge would put it), and ensuring that when he released his full debut album, ears other than the usual hip-hop demographic would be listening.
He still needed to deliver, of course. He did it, in scintillating style. The 25-year-old, born Christopher Breaux and displaced from his native New Orleans to Los Angeles by Hurricane Katrina, turned out to be something of a modern soul genius. Channel Orange was, according to an HMV poll-of-polls, the critics' album of 2012, and rightly so. An immeasurably advanced follow-up to the previous year's promising mixtape Nostalgia, Ultra, it refracted the creamy glow of early Prince and N*E*R*D's In Search Of... through the prism of the retro-futuristic aesthetic of the Drive soundtrack. It was nevertheless unafraid to venture into more fashion-risky styles, such as the steady Seventies AOR plod of "Super Rich Kids", which is essentially Billy Joel meets Steely Dan.
And its gloriously poetic lyrics didn't attempt to hide Ocean's sexuality. Stand-out track "Thinking About You" was a first-love memoir whose object is addressed as "boy", "Forrest Gump" expresses his adoration of a gentle giant with learning difficulties, and "Bad Religion" recounts an unrequited crush on a devoutly Muslim male taxi driver. Conversely, "Pyramids" is about an explicitly male/female relationship "You say it's big, but you take it/Ride, cowgirl!" (Yeah, sometimes his songs really are about the sex).
It is, quite simply, neck and neck with Janelle Monae's The Archandroid as the most groundbreaking soul album of the decade so far. And Britain's had a year to fall in love with it, so anticipation for his UK debut is ridiculously high. Before he even appears, the gang of ostensibly hetero lads in front of me are already bowled over, and begin making tentative confessions. "I've never had a man-crush before, but ..."
When the by now almost-mythical Ocean appears, he barely needs to do anything. So he doesn't. Half-hunched in the same spot on the stage, he's not exactly Mr Personality. When he does talk, it's a bassy mumble, indecipherable apart from the information that he loves London. The back-projection is barely any more eventful, although there is something strangely mesmeric about watching helicopter footage of the gold BMW from the front of Nostalgia, Ultra driving slowly across Death Valley to a never-nearing horizon for a full hour.
It doesn't matter. It's Frank Ocean, playing Frank Ocean songs, and right now that's plenty. His band, including a drummer who looks unsettlingly like Nation Of Islam hitman Brother Mouzone from The Wire, a two-man horn section and someone playing an enormous vintage wooden synthesiser, do a superb job of recreating his two releases to date, and the crowd do their part to carry the shy, reluctant superstar. There's a wonderful moment in "Novacane" when Frank, reminiscing about a toxic (and intoxicated) relationship, sings "Cocaine for breakfast..." and the entire audience, knowing their role, shout "Yikes!"
Most exciting, however, is the unveiling of new material, raising the enticing prospect that Frank Ocean's qualities – musical and "star" – can only rise from here.
It was Public Enemy's Chuck D who famously described rap music as "black CNN". And, of course, if you watch rolling news for long enough, the same stories come around again and again. Take The Pharcyde, for example.
The South Central act, who had feet in the alternative, backpacker and jazz-rap camps during their Nineties heyday, have sat out dozens of shifts in fashion (albeit with numerous line-up changes) and survived long enough to be beneficiaries of the truth that if you wait around long enough, your time comes back around.
Not just because their brand of peacable, post-Daisy Age rap feels more current than chronologically more recent acts (God, how long ago does 50 Cent seem now?), but because they're in the UK to tour a classic album whose tenth track, "Mr Officer", deals with racial profiling of motorists at the exact moment that stop-and-search policy is back in the news.
In the circumstances, you can't begrudge them a victory lap 22 years on from the album in question, Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde. Especially when, on a hot summer night, it involves delicious displays of old-skool turntablism, a bit of break dancing, the guilty snickers of "Ya Mama", and in one liberating moment, allowing 600 people to chant "Damn, I wish I wasn't such a wimp ..."
