Parents' Hand-Book

Admission
The Lodge Nursery School extends enrollment to babies and children between the ages of 06 months and 04 years. After the initial application form is filled there is an interview with the family. Upon acceptance the child is invited to “visit” the class for as long as he/she wishes, as a warm-up before the full day to come. The Lodge Nursery School accommodates school age children during holidays, where they are given activities appropriate for their age. Children with diverse abilities will be considered for admission, when the Director determines that our preschool can meet the needs of the child without affecting care for the rest of the children.

Nutrition
We serve healthy, fresh foods, in the form of breakfast, lunch and snack daily. Moreover, a Nutritionist has been consulted and has provided simple balanced menus with additions of particular herbs, nut-powder and spices that are of immense nutritional value to a growing child.
We do not serve foods from the same category together. 

We plan the menu ahead so that we do not repeat the foods too often. 
We provide foods of various colors’ to make them more appealing, and to ensure the presence of different vitamins. 
We think about the texture of foods, chewy or smooth, to add interest to the meal.
We serve meals that smell good, as aromas are important in stimulating appetite.
We place the food on the plates so that items do not touch, and arrange it in a pleasing manner. 
We allow children to decide how much they will eat by serving moderate amounts, to be followed by second helpings if they want. 
We serve familiar foods with new foods, and introduce new foods one at a time to gain acceptance. 
We serve attractive, good tasting, interesting but simple foods that appeal to children. Bite-sized pieces, interesting shapes, small muffins and funny sounding names are just a few examples. 
Above all, we serve the foods children need to grow and develop.

I live continually in a reverie of the future. I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active—not more happy—nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. The result will never vary—and to suppose that it will, is to suppose that the foregone man has lived in vain—that the foregone time is but the rudiment of the future—that the myriads who have perished have not been upon equal footing with ourselves—nor are we with our posterity. I cannot agree to lose sight of man the individual, in man the mass. —I have no belief in spirituality. I think the word a mere word. No one has really a conception of spirit. We cannot imagine what is not. We deceive ourselves by the idea of infinitely rarefied matter. Matter escapes the senses by degrees—a stone—a metal—a liquid—the atmosphere—a gas—the luminiferous ether. Beyond this there are other modifications more rare. But to all we attach the notion of a constitution of particles—atomic composition. For this reason only, we think spirit different; for spirit, we say is unparticled, and therefore is not matter. But it is clear that if we proceed sufficiently far in our ideas of rarefaction, we shall arrive at a point where the particles coalesce; for, although the particles be infinite, the infinity of littleness in the spaces between them, is an absurdity.— The unparticled matter, permeating & impelling, all things, is God. Its activity is the thought of God—which creates. Man, and other thinking beings, are individualizations of the unparticled matter. Man exists as a “person”, by being clothed with matter (the particled matter) which individualizes him. Thus habited, his life is rudimental. What we call “death” is the painful metamorphosis. The stars are the habitations of rudimental beings. But for the necessity of the rudimental life, there would have been no worlds. At death, the worm is the butterfly—still material, but of a matter unrecognized by our organs—recognized, occasionally, perhaps, by the sleep-waker, directly—without organs—through the mesmeric medium.

SHAKA MELLO STEWART BIO

ShakaMello Stewart, aka Howard L. Stewart has been involved in music since he was a mere child.  He grew up in Hopeful Village, Prospect District, New Balbec Manchester, Jamaica. He began his career around legends like Bonga Ira and Len D who fired his creativity. Having two sound systems in his community he used his budding talent to enter competitive talent shows, and at 16yrs.old he won a local DJ competition and never looked back . EAGLE FORCE heard the young talent and hired him to work his sound system for the next three years, taking him out into different communities to tour his music to the people. He worked with Black Unity in Santa Cruz, at the LODGE in Bybrook, then RJ Radio Station as well. He also worked with Finger Studios, building his following with his own personal style and fan base. In 2004 he entered the Digicel Talent Show where he was received as a definite up and coming talent.

When he performed at a show in Trinidad, he met Rachel Bernard who became his producer and partner in ROYAL CONCERT PRODUCTIONS.  His boom hit “RICH AND GREEDY” shot his media exposure throughout the Caribbean, and DJ’s like Aleese Kelly on HOT FM started blasting out this big big hit, he was interviewed by SUSIE Q FROM REGGAEBEAT  of TVJ in Jamaica, TRINIDAD TV also put him n top with radio exposure and TV interviews.  The entire Caribbean was blazin with SHAKAMELLO STEWART’s music.

His second smash up hit was "WHEN DID YOU LEAVE HEAVEN” with JR. PINCHER.  This was followed by “HERBALIST” on the JAMAICAN WARRIORS CD with JAH MASON, LUTAN FYAH, HIGH KEE, SING SWEET AND SHAKAMELLO!! .

Mixing Lab, Tuff Gong and Anchor Studios were soon filled with his sound, drawing attention to his very conscious, joy filled Rasta Reggae artist. He was interviewed at TVJ in New Kingston and Reggae Sound TV in Ocho Rios, plus Trinidad was drawn to this refreshing artist, and he also interviewed there.  The Caribbean now knew SHAKA MELLO STEWART'S fire.  

His career rising, SHAKAMELLO became the hottest firebrand artist throughout the Caribbean.  In the midst of this acclaim, life threw him a curve, and he became the sole provider of his two children, and he put his music aside to raise them.

Time has settled his journey and he’s able return to his passion and redefine his music through his lyrical story telling. 

Currently he’s working on his debut SOLO CD with his company, HEIGHTS OF RASTA, produced by JAH WORKS PRODUCTIONS. His music is stronger and more reflective on this CD as it depicts his journey through life as a true RASTAFARIAN and his unbeatable strength in his love for JAH. His voice is lovely when it needs to be, as on “SHE’S COMING”, soulful and gritty when he grinds out his ballads, as on “BLUE KUSH” and strong, purposeful and thankful as on “WHEN JAH CALL I”.  He is the matured, conscious voice of a culture; a life dedicated to the mission of bringing the talent JAH blessed him with to the people of the world.

 We at HEIGHTS OF RASTA MUSIC are proud to take SHAKAMELLO STEWART to the next level, the world!

Linden Hudson is a pro TV & Film sound man of 28 years experience. An extremely interesting fact about Linden is that he was a strategic part of the team that created & produced one of the most famous record albums in pop music history, the huge ZZ Top ELIMINATOR album. This album sold well beyond ten million copies in the US alone (ten times platinum and beyond). Half the songs on the ELIMINATOR album were hits (5 songs reaching the Billboard HOT 100). This is a rare level of success for a record album and was, by far, ZZ Top's most successful release (grammy nominated). The sad part of the story is: Linden Hudson was never given credit for his work & co-writing on this huge album nor did ZZ opt to pay him any royalties. 

 CLASSICBANDS DOT COM said: “According to former roadie David Blayney in his book SHARP DRESSED MEN: sound engineer Linden Hudson co-wrote much of the material on the ELIMINATOR album.”

Yes, as mentioned, Linden's story has a very fucked up twist. When the details of Linden's involvement in ELIMINATOR began to surface ZZ Top management freaked out and went to work to keep a lid on the story. ZZ Top management totally treated Linden like dirt. He was emotionally crushed because of these incredibly cold decisions which were set forth by Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top guitarist) and  management. Linden spent many years in a dark emotional state. In fact, he never got over it. After all these years Linden Hudson has become somewhat radicalized and has begun to convey his "very shitty" adventure to the public. The coming of the internet has given Linden a broadcasting medium, and a chance to tell it to interested ears, and he'll continue to actively tell it to the world in the whatever time he has left. Wouldn't you?

Many journalists have stated that the songwriting was one of the strong points of the ELIMINATOR album. But, another thing that helped with the album's huge (and sudden) success was the heavy injection of synthesizers and techno-pop techniques on ELIMINATOR. This is undisputed. So, we offer up more revelations: It was actually Linden Hudson who introduced the synthesizers into the ZZ Top sound in the early 80's. It's one hundred percent true. These facts were finally stated by none other than ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons to well known journalist Joe Bosso of MUSICRADAR DOT COM in a 2013 interview. In this interview ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons cautiously began to break 30 years of silence about Linden Hudson's work in the early 80's, Billy Gibbons said: “This was a really interesting turning point. We had befriended somebody who would become an influential associate, a guy named Linden Hudson. He was a gifted songwriter and had production skills that were leading the pack at times. He brought some elements to the forefront that helped reshape what ZZ Top were doing, starting in the studio and eventually to the live stage. Linden had no fear and was eager to experiment in ways that would frighten most bands. But we followed suit, and the synthesizers started to show up on record.” (End Quote) 

As mentioned earlier, It has been well discussed, and well known by rock journalists, that the injection of synthesizers and techno is what instantly made ZZ Top superstars. But, for 30 years Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top guitarist) made up ridiculous stories about how the synthesizers and technology came into the ZZ Top sound, denying Linden his due credits.

TVTROPES DOT ORG said: “for all intents and purposes, Eliminator is a Billy Gibbons solo album with contributions by pre-production engineer Linden Hudson, who contributed drum machine programming and keyboard sequencing, and was alleged to have co-written most of the material". (end quote)

Yes, the huge majority of all the drums on the ELIMINATOR album were generated by a computer (instead of real drums) and the bass was a synthesizer (instead of real bass guitar). This was their first record album to be constructed in that manner. The result was an album which sold ten to twenty times more copies than previous records had sold, remaining on the charts for years. Why? Because computer drums were cleaner, not sloppy, easier to dance to, and computer bass was pure and easy to mesh with the digital drums. This is just fact. That is exactly why it happened that way.

Billy Gibbons once made a ridiculous statement (total bullshit) to ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE about the ELIMINATOR album, in which he said: "We still sometimes wonder what exactly did transpire to make those sessions dramatically different, I suppose it might have been a return to playing together as a band in the studio as we did onstage." (end quote). ++ (Can you say "cover up"?) Of course the pop world is beginning to realize, a little at a time, that such statements are not true and are in fact ridiculous, since many folks now understand that Frank and Dusty were just barely involved (and we mean barely) in the making (and writing) of that incredibly famous record. Billy has fought and fought for many years to cover up these facts, likely fearing a "Milli Vanilli" flavored backlash. Oh well, it is what it is, truth is truth, you cannot change truth, it will eventually knock at your door. 

The synthesized bass and synthesized drum aspect of the "Eliminator" album is easily proven forensically (it really is), but there's no need for that because it's been "given up" and "admitted to", in recent years, on several internet postings by the final sound tracking engineer for the "Eliminator" project (the accomplished Mr Terry Manning). The facts are definitely out of the bag. So give it up. 

Why did Billy Gibbons wait decades to begin to tell the public anything at all about Linden's important contributions to the bands' recordings and music? And, why did Linden never receive co-writer credits for "Eliminator"? 

Quote: FROM THE BOOK: "SHARP DRESSED MEN - ZZ TOP", DAVID BLAYNEY said: "I find it hard to believe that the boys intentionally set out to do a number on Linden, but sometimes you tend to forget where you came from. It's very easy to get both greedy and self-serving in show bidness". (end quote)

What ever happened, it was so deeply wrong. Put yourself in Linden's shoes. How would you feel if this had happened to you? Does anyone know of a similar level of pain for someone who has been fucked in the music business? Maybe so, but none come to mind. The fact that the album was titled ELIMINATOR is ironic, because it was Linden Hudson who got ELIMINATED.

The cover up still exists in a major way to this day. Billy Gibbons is slowly beginning to mention Linden in interviews (30 years later) but will not reference Linden to the hugely successful "Eliminator" album, no doubt fearing legal retribution. When you can afford lawyers, just do what they say. Right Billy? 

 Some people really don't understand the level of success that went down with "Eliminator". So, here is a quick rundown: The "Eliminator" album, ALONE, sold HALF OF ALL the records that ZZ Top sold in their entire career (out of their career total of 15 albums). Think about that. The hugely popular ZZ Top "Eliminator" album received several DIAMOND record trophies (in the US and in Canada). Each diamond trophy represents 10 times the sales of platinum, it's massive. And, the album reached multi-platinum in many countries around the world, a feat they had never achieved. Nor did ANY of their follow-up albums achieve this level of success (not even close). Linden sat at home in silence and watched the album stay on the charts for YEARS. Whenever one of those songs played on the radio Linden would quickly change the station. It was just fucked up. "Eliminator" was nominated for a grammy. Linden Hudson was not invited to the festivities or mentioned.

Quote: by David Blayney (ZZ Top stage manager for 15 years), in his book SHARP DRESSED MEN: "Linden Hudson in a fair world should have had his name all over ELIMINATOR and gotten the just compensation he deserved. Instead he got ostracized.” (end quote)

Quote: From the book: “ZZ TOP – BAD AND WORLDWIDE” (Rolling Stone Press, Written by Deborah Frost): "But with the release of their ninth album, Eliminator, in 1983, these hairy, unlikely rock heroes had become a pop phenomenon. This had something to do with the discoveries of a young preproduction engineer (Linden Hudson) whose contributions, like those of many associated with the band over the years, were never acknowledged." (end quote)

Quote: FROM THE BOOK: “SHARP DRESSED MEN — ZZ TOP” BY DAVID BLAYNEY: “The integral position Linden occupied in the process of building “Eliminator” was demonstrated eloquently in the case of the song “Under Pressure”. Billy and Linden, the studio wizards, did the whole song all in one afternoon without either the bass player or drummer even knowing it had been written and recorded on a demo tape. Linden synthesized the bass and drums and helped write the lyrics; Billy did the guitars and vocals.” (end quote)

Rolling Stone Magazine listed the "Eliminator" album as one of the top 500 albums in history. With regard to this pop phenomenon Linden has been discussed in four books by well known writers, plus he's been written about in Rolling Stone magazine and many other magazine/newspaper articles. Besides strong involvement in the entire "Eliminator" album, Linden wrote one hundred per cent of one of the songs on that album (the song THUG) and he OWNED the copyright. That's right, he outright owned the copyright to "Thug". Sadly, he had to sue for the royalties of "Thug", one of one his own copyrighted songs, and much of his proceeds from the eventual settlement went to lawyers. Welcome to the dark side of the music world, the VERY dark side.

Sadly, all this leaves one of the "little people" (Linden) to fend for himself should he want due credits ON ANYTHING. Never mind all the lost royalties over the years which could have helped sustain such a "shat upon" human being (Linden) and which could have helped him through some of the low points in his life. Yes, of course, we know Linden's just a little person, in the shadows, an unpaid ghost, not a rock star, no big deal, got it, sorry for the bother. Of course this situation illustrates the way in which so many ego-centric rock stars think with regard to the "little" humans around them, and the public has witnessed this mode of "star" thinking all too many times in the media.

Quote: From The Book: "Sharp Dressed Men - ZZ Top" By David Blayney: "After his quantitative revelations, Linden informally but instantly became ZZ Top's rehearsal hall theoretician, producer, and engineer." (end quote)

Quote: From The Book: “ZZ TOP — BAD AND WORLDWIDE” (Rolling Stone Press, written by Deborah Frost): “Eventually they decided to use the song (“Thug” by Linden Hudson) on “Eliminator”. They (ZZ Top) and Bill Ham (ZZ’s manager) refused to discuss the question of royalties or album points with him (Linden). They didn’t deny he wrote the song”. (end quote)

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT SHIT?

We pose a question: "Hey Billy, yes you Mr Gibbons, how have you felt about this Linden Hudson matter throughout the years? Just curious."
