Last Minute Long Weekend in London
My husband and I are planning a long weekend in London, in mid-Oct. The problem is that we are flying standby, so there's a chance we won't know which weekend until a couple of days prior to leaving. I assume we will be staying somewhere pretty central in a more touristy area, but won't book a hotel until we know when we're flying. I've been searching this board diligently and trying to do my homework, but the amount of information (and the geographical scale of London itself) is slightly overwhelming. My other concern is whether we will be shut out of most of the restaurants that appeal to me because we might only be able to reserve a few days in advance.
We will have 3 lunches and 3 dinners. We would also like to have tea and scones (I could survive on clotted cleam if I had to). We probably don't want to spend much more than 50-60£ p.p. for a meal but will do a splurge meal for at least one of our meals.
We live in South Florida and are used to pretty awful examples of both Chinese and Indian cuisine, so we would be interested in both, but don't consider ourselves knowledgeable/adventurous in either since our exposure has been limited (though we are not at all picky eaters by nature and love spicy food). I found Quilon and Moti Mahal interesting. I'm kind of clueless when it comes to Chinese and need a lot of help.
We would also love to try a prix fixe or tasting menu. The Square and The Ledbury both look amazing to me. I'm also intrigued by Texture.
We would like to spend a couple of hours at the Borough Market – preferably when it's not at its most crowded – is Thurs. our best bet?
We would also like to try one of the gastropubs referred to on this site – looking for something centrally located (we plan on doing some sightseeing, not just eating), and we don't eat a lot of offal.
Other restaurants I find intriguing from the Board include Launceston Place, HIX and Moro.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Sorry I can't be of more use, its getting late and I'm tired. I'll come back with some extra tips. One thing I wanted to warn you about is the really upmarket places you mentioned (Ledbury, The Square, Launceston Place, Texture), which will almost certainly be fully booked a few days in advance, and usually more than a week. No harm in trying, but I do fear for you. I might even suggest being a little shameless and booking, say, one really special restaurant for every potential weekend you're here, and cancelling in due course the ones that are of no use to you. Most restaurants now do online bookings, so it won't be quite as uncomfortable as doing it in person.
My favourite time at the Borough Market is about 11 or 12 on a Friday. Some stalls are not open on Thursday, but I'm not sure if you would miss a lot by going that day as I have never done that. An early lunch (they get crowded) at the Brindisi restaurant is very nice if you like Spanish tapas, or just stroll around and try something else - lots to choose from.
Haozhan in Chinatown has very good food and I never find it crowded at lunchtime. Min Jiang is another favorite on this board... excellent dim sum and good atmosphere near Kensington Gardens (not far from the South Kensington museums).
re: cathodetube
Thank you for the information. I did think about making a reservation now and then if I have to cancel it, I'll know at least 4 days in advance and can cancel it then.
It looks like we will most likely end up coming in the middle of October, so the day issue at Borough is a moot point - it will be crowded! Oh well...we will push through.
I will look up both Haozhan and Min Jiang. Any suggestions for Indian? Tea?
re: tlubow
The Anchor and Hope (on The Cut) is the obvious choice for a centrally located gastropub. And excellent it is too. It also doesn't do bookings, which is a gift and a curse for you. No need to worry about booking problems, but equally no guarantee of a table, at least without a wait.
Afternoon tea? I've never heard a bad word about Claridges. £30-35 all in.
Chinese? Royal China on Baker Street is a common favourite for dim sum. I'd also say dim sum may be the easiest Chinese food to a newcomer to enjoy. My favourite cuisine, along with many, is Sichuanese. However I'd reserve some enthusiasm for over-recommending Sichuanese restaurants as the best stuff is often hidden away amongst compltetely unauthentic pap, and there's generally a danger of offal or something weird arriving. One place I think you could have a safe and enjoyable time is Bar Shu. It opened with a frenzy of hype, which seems to have subsided. To be honest though, its only because of stiff, cheaper competition. I think the food there is excellent, and its done in a more Western friendly way than most comparable restaurants. Might well be worth a shout.
Seeing as you said you've struggled to find good Indian/Chinese food, I don't know if Japanese would interest you. If so, a new place, Koya, has opened with whollly justified hype. They specialize in udon noodles (you'd be mad to get anything else), and it really is outstanding.
High-end? I'm not best qualified to judge this, but reading around the subject my top 3 destination restaurants in London are Hibiscus, The Greenhouse, and The Ledbury. Not been to any of them, although I'm putting 1/3rd of that right with a Hibiscus trip this Friday.
I'll just throw in my favourite London restaurant (along with many people) - St John Bread and Wine. Whilst they've made a name for offal etc., you can easily have a fantastic meal there without getting near the stuff.
re: chief1284
I second St John Bread and Wine - so relaxed. I spent a lovely solo lunchtime there with a quail and a crossword. Go after the financiers have had their lunch and before the dinner rush. Bliss!
re: chief1284
would agree with everything chief1284 has suggested. I've also had some great food at Ba Shan (opposite Bar Shu) but has had some less than great reviews more recently. I love Hibiscus and Moro - both very different propositions but great in their own ways.
Re tea... I recently had tea at the Mandeville Hotel (very close to Bond St. Tube), and it was very good and somewhat of a London bargain at £23 a person. My niece and I didn't need dinner after that. But Brown's (more posh) has better food and is buzzier. The Sotheby Auction House has a very nice room for tea - a little oasis off the bustle of New Bond St., but I've never had their afternoon tea. I think it's fairly inexpensive.
re: zuriga1
Mandeville looks good. Is Brown's 14£ better than Mandeville? What is the dress code? We will be sightseeing so I'm not sure my husband wants to wear a jacket mid-afternoon. Are reservations a necessity?
I'm still trying to figure out:
The Ledbury vs. Hibiscus
HIX vs. Moro
Chinese/Indian - I looked at Bar Shu and I think it will appeal to my husband who lives for spicy food, though we also like dim sum, and just went to Hakkasan in Miami last weekend. Hmm... I couldn't see a menu for Ba Shan. What about Indian? Is Quilon a good choice?
re: tlubow
I think Brown's probably has more to offer, but this business of men wearing a jacket is tiresome for tourists. I'd book anywhere you go... although the Mandeville was very quiet the day we went, but it was very late afternoon.
I can't help much with The Ledbury or Hibiscus - haven't yet gotten to either but definitely will.
re: tlubow
I've long been a fan of tea at the Mandeville (I've been three times) and had tea at Browns two weeks ago and won't be going again.
It wasn't that there was anything wrong with it (aside from awkward seating and a very noisy atmosphere and waiting ages for the cheque), but that it simply didn't feel special enough to justify the price. I didn't feel like we received the same quality of attention that the Mandeville gives, nor was the food that much more spectacular, if at all. I felt like just another diner, and at £37, I want a bit more than that.
I remain a fan of the Mandeville and think it is the best tea in London in terms of QPR.
re: nanette
nanettte, I remembered your mentioning the Mandeville awhile back and was so happy to hear my niiece was staying right there and working close by. I think we would have enjoyed any tea or meal as we rarely see each other now that I live over here. Now you have me very glad we didn't splash for Brown's (my only experience there was about 20 years ago). The food at The Mandeville is very tasty, and I had the niece take a lot of the goodies back to her room!
As an out of towner I'm not best to confirm all of the details of local knowledge however I can answer a few of your questions based on my several visits to London this year.
Agree totally that for evening meals - in particular at the top end places - you will struggle to get a weekend reservation only a few days before so you may be better pre-booking a few dates. I ate at the Ledbury a few weeks ago and it was stunning. I never thought as a devout meat eater I'd get so excited over a plate of nothing but tomato! The staff were so obliging with any questions as well.
Borough Market is best on a Friday. Thursday doesn't have all of the producers and Saturday is packed but with even more food stands. The busiest time tends to be 11-2.
For Dim Sum look at Yauatcha. More expensive than most chinese but still cheap and has the bonus of the tea bar section being open all afternoon so you should be able to stroll in at 3pm and get food with no reservation.
You may get better advice for Indain elsewhere and I may be shouted down but Brick Lane is the notorious Curry Street. It's not gourmet but there's plenty of decent Indian food.
Moro didn't blow me away but the flavours of the starter and main course were really good if some what pricey with a desert that was nothing to write home about. It was packed on a Thursday and they were a bit arsey with me when I rocked up at 9.30 without a reservation inspite of the fact that I had been advised by them in the afternoon when I phoned to do exactly that.
re: AWaiting
Progress report for my planning so far:
Arrive very early Thursday morning
Lunch at Anchor and Hope
Dinner at Moti Mahal - but I have a question; Howler mentions a place called Gaylord that looks good and seems much more reasonable than some of the other placed mentioned on the board. But no one else talks about it. Is it good? I know it's not as fancy as Moti Mahal or Quilon, but I don't need fancy Indian food.
Borough Market exploration
Afternoon Tea (not sure yet)
Dinner at HIX
Saturday - no plans yet except for dinner at The Ledbury.
Looking for some other pub food that is central to sightseeing.
Thanks everyone for your help so far.
re: tlubow
the best value for money north indian(ish) meal is probably the weekend buffet at the bombay brasserie.
re: howler
I looked at that, but I can't see eating so much food in the middle of the day - a buffet is an invitation to overeat and we don't need an invitation, unfortunately. Also, we have The Ledbury at 8:30 that night. So are you no longer a fan of The Gaylord? Should we stick with our dinner at Moti Mahal?
re: tlubow
no, gaylord is fine. but i haven't been there for a few months at least. shouldn't matter as the quality has remained constant for a very long time.
the trick with getting the best out of gaylord - or for that matter, any indian restaurant - is in the ordering. if you know how to order at an indian place, great; if not, ask if you want some help.
re: howler
Of course we'd like some help. What I'd really like is for you to sit down at the table with us and order the meal, but I'll also be happy with some written help!
re: tlubow
ok, how many of you will be there? i'll suggest a sample dinner.
re: howler
Only 2 of us. Thanks.
re: tlubow
think of eating from a thali (if you're familiar with that) as opposed to eating in courses: the idea is to use different flavours to mix and match. its eating with flavour combinations, not in courses. so build your meal around the vegetables, not the meats. and by the way, that is the true test of skill in the indian kitchen - how well the vegetables are handled.
so here's a sample selection for two: start with golgappa shots and bombay bhel puri. then ask for murg makhanwalla (butter chicken), galouti kebabs (all the range about a few years back in india and still very popular), paneer aur mutter ka salan (cottage cheese and peas), gobhi aloo (cauliflower and potatoes) and yellow dal tadka. tandoori roti for accompaniment.
thats PLENTY of food with all the classics. if you had to scale back, i'd ditch the golgappa and bhel puri. kulfi for dessert if you've got the space.
re: howler
I never think of paneer as cottage cheese - at least what they call cottage cheese in the states. It's more like farmer's cheese, what my grandmother used to make her crepes with cheese inside... aka blintzes.
I've never had paneer here that was like cottage cheese, but maybe it varies from place to place? Cottage cheese with peas sounds awful! :-)
re: zuriga1
indians call paneer cottage cheese, but you are right: it is pressed cottage cheese (farmers cheese).
re: howler
I love them both! We make our own paneer fairly often... never realized how simple that is to do.
re: howler
I looked it all up on the menu and it sounds great. I'll report back after the trip and let you know.
re: tlubow
Try Sketch for afternoon tea. I hesitated to recommend it before because I recall the service being a bit snotty, but I went again today and it was fabulous. We turned up at about 3pm on a Saturday and they managed to seat us straight away. There are plenty of shop windows to look in if you have to wait for a table. The room is fantastic, the cakes were delicious and the cocktails were very potent! It's traditional tea but a very modern and trendy room. I don't think there's a dress code.
re: gembellina
Sketch looks perfect. It's also in a good location for us. Thank you for suggesting it.
re: tlubow
For Saturday afternoon, why not go for dim sum at Pearl Liang or Yauatcha? Yauatcha's food and environment is more hip and trendy than the more traditional yet modern Pearl Liang. Both offer excellent dim sum. Both are much better than Royal China. Yauatcha's dim sum is slightly more avant garde than Pearl Liang's. Quality-wise they're both equally good, although I suspect most dim sum purists might prefer Pearl Liang. It really depends on whether you prefer eating dim sum in a more traditional or hip environment.
If I were you, I'd choose the Ledbury for Saturday lunch (cheaper than dinner), and go to Yauatcha for a dim sum dinner. Yes, it's unconventional to have dim sum at night, since traditionally it's more of a brunch food for the Cantonese people, but Yauatcha's vibe is quite fun at night. Although if you prefer a bit more elegant of a dining environment, then Ledbury would be the better choice. All depends on what you're looking for.
re: Noodle fanatic
Out of curiosity, which branch of Royal China? Most people that I've talked to seem to say that the Bayswater branch is the best of the lot. I haven't been to any of them, except the more pricey Royal China Club, which while good for some items, seemed expensive for the quality.
re: limster
Only been to the Bayswater one when we used to live near there, but was not impressed.
What about trying Broadway Market, Hackney on Saturday (daytime)? There is a thread on here about it. It's on my list of things to do. Or you could try a visit to Brixton Village, also on various threads here. It's recently been written up in the NY Times. I have been there several times to eat, most recently at Islander's Kitchen and had a lot of fun. You can get to Brixton very easily on the Underground from Oxford Circus.
re: cathodetube
I wouldn't bother with Brixton (and I live there!) or Hackney on a short trip to London, especially if you've never been before. Too many sights to see!
Not a pub, but you could consider Terroirs for lunch, which is just round the corner from the National Gallery/Trafalgar Square. It's a wine bar which serves terrific food. Otherwise in Mayfair there's the Only Running Footman which I haven't visited myself but is meant to be decent. The Duke of Wellington north of Oxford Street is another good gastropub and is pretty central.
If you're going to South Kensington for the various museums, limster raved about Daquise which is near South Ken tube.
re: greedygirl
Thanks so much for all the info. I was already considering Terriors because I liked the menu on their website and the location is really good for our sightseeing.
Yauatcha looks great and we may go there Friday night for a dim sum dinner. We were thinking of going to HIX that night, but I think Yauatcha sounds like more fun, and we have restaurants like HIX in Miami. I want to keep The Ledbury on Saturday night and not squeeze it in during the day.
Tea will either be Sketch or the Mandeville and Indian will either be Moti Mahal or Gaylord, if Howler advises me on the ordering. That just leaves us a pub/gastropub lunch that we haven't decided on yet. I will look at The Duke of Wellington, since anything near "the sights" will be better for us.
Again, thanks to everyone for all the advice. I wish I were coming next weekend!
re: tlubow
Yauatcha has pretty good dim sum, but unless they've cut prices recently, it's way overpriced -- one typically pays less at Pearl Liang or the superior Min Jiang. Hix serves excellent modernised British cooking -- is it really common in Miami?
I remember loving the chocolate covered figs at the tea at Mandeville, so don't miss that if you pick the Mandeville. Sorry to throw a wrench into your plans, I would also consider Cocomaya for tea, also in the same neighbourhood -- I think the baked items there are among the best of their kind. Reservations necessary.
re: limster
Never been to Min Jiang actually, is it really better than Pearl Liang for dim sum? What must I order at Min Jiang?
re: Noodle fanatic
The items I liked most there were the xlb and the shanghainese style shumai. The menu is not very broad, but what I had I thought was more refined than any where else in London that I had tried. Should probably go back soon, as it's been a while since I've eaten there.
re: tlubow
Mark Hix is known for modern British food - what makes you say you have restaurants like Hix in Miami?
re: greedygirl
I meant that we have that style of restaurant - not necessarily modern British food, but modern American (which is already modern) or continental. I'm sorry if I offended you and Limster. The menu looks great, though, but we have only a limited time, so I thought dim sum .
Thanks for your help.
re: tlubow
No offense taken at all -- just confused and glad you clarified. I think it's quite different from modern American, but of course dim sum would be even more different.
re: tlubow
Hix has a great bar in the basement which will be cosy at this time of year (Autumn's starting early, by the looks of it). So you could go for a drink and a bar snack - you have to order something to eat and it will give you a flavour of what Hix has to offer.
re: greedygirl
One more question: If we wanted to go to The Bull and Last for lunch on Saturday, how long would it take us (no car) and how would we get there? I'm trying to get an idea of distances also. London area seems enormous on the map, but when I look at hotel websites the travel distances between sites appear to be much shorter than I was imagining. The Bull and Last looks pretty far away to me, from let's say SOHO or the Mayfair areas. Is it?
re: tlubow
You need to get the tube to Kentish Town (Northern Line) and then it's a ten minute walk. I'd say it will take about 45 minutes at the most to get there from Soho.
re: greedygirl
Thanks Greedygirl. I think that will take too much time, but it also helps me have an idea of how far/close things are on the map.
re: tlubow
Just back from a whirlwind 3-day trip and we had a great time and fantastic food thanks to all of the London hounds.
Anchor & Hope: First day lunch - we were not starving thanks to breakfast supplied by the Renaissance Chancery Court while we waited for our room, but we had scotch broth, a pork dish called lop?? with polenta that was delicious, and one other meat dish which I can't remember (so it must not have been outstanding). All in all, the food was tasty, but not memorable.
Moti Mahal - We ended up here, not at Gaylord. It was in walking distance of our hotel and we happened to stroll by and my husband liked the menu. Dinner was wonderful. We were a little loopy from jet lag and lack of sleep (and a few drinks), but we loved the chicken makhani and an roasted smoky eggplant dish. The waiter recommended a dal makhani as well, and it blew away any dal we've had back here in FL. It's flavor was really wonderful. The only dish that I didn't love was lamb chops roasted in the tandor with chilies, tomatoes and avocado. The flavors were very good but the lamb was served medium well, and though it wasn't tough, it wasn't juicy at all. Service was slow and scattered, but very friendly. Oh...they give you this weird salad plate to start. They put a plate on the table that has some lettuce on it, a whole tomato, a whole cucumber, a whole red onion and some radishes, with a sharp knife. You are told to pretty much make yourself a salad, squeeze some lemon on it and spinkle some indian spices on it. It was strange, but I think it may have been the only salad we had of the entire trip!!!
On Friday we hit the Borough Market. What can I say but yummy. We had a sausage roll from a stand right by Mrs. King's Pork Pies (maybe it was Mrs. Kings?? - not sure), a toasted cheese sandwich from Kappacasein which was divine, a chorizo sandwich from Brindisa that was definitely worth the 10 minute wait in line, an egg custard from Comptoir Gourmand, and I'm embarrassed to say an almond cake from Konditor & Cook. Washed it down with coffee from Monmouth. For the record, we split everything I listed above!
Tea at The Mandeville - Lovely room and lovely service. My husband was offered a men's tea, but he preferred the ladies' tea, and we had a good laugh when the server yelled back into the kitchen "two ladies' teas please."
Min Jiang - Great Beijing Duck! I wrote about it on another post, but we really enjoyed it - especially the crispy skin appetizer that we dipped in sugar. The dim sum appetizer and soup dumplings were delicious as well. The hot and sour soup was good. The rest of the meal was good, but not special, with the exception of the dessert - a mango soup with tapioca pearls and pieces of pommelo in it. I wanted to pick up the bowl and slurp it. It was light, delicious and refreshing. Service was wonderful and very, very friendly.
The Cadogan Arms - lunch Saturday was good. They took us without a reservation and I had a cream of jerusalem artichoke soup with watercress dumplings that was really delicious. I have to confess that I wasn't that hungry because there was a green market on King's Road and I had to try a pork pie before I went back to the U.S. I think it was from Pieminister (do they set up shop there also?) and I sat on a bench and ate about 2/3 of it before lunch. It was so good. Back at The Cadogan Arms, my husband had a good fish and chips.
We saved the best for last. Dinner at The Ledbury. What a wonderful dinner. The service was wonderful. Only glitch was that they forgot to bring us our dessert wine - which turned out to be fine because we were stuffed and we had to wake up in 5 hours to get to Heathrow anyway. But, back to the beginning. The first amuse was a bit of foie that was very tasty. The bread service was great (referring to another post on the board, we did not take the bread ourselves - it was placed on our plate by a server). The butter was creamy and nice and salty. The second amuse was a quail's egg with something crunchy on top. It was great but unfortunately, I was in the ladies room when it was served and described. My husband started with mackerel prepared two ways: roasted and in some type of small crepe with a jellied consistency. Both were delicious. I had the terrine of foie gras with cooked and raw apple. It was so good. The cooked apple was like the best applesauce you've ever had and both cooked and raw really complemented the foie. I had to stop myself from finishing the very large portion. For mains, I had the lamb - tenderloin and shoulder. Prepared with some wilted spinach and a spinach puree. I can't remember if there was a starch on the plate, but the whole thing was great. The taste of the meat was really good. My husband ordered the grouse after we quizzed the waiter about what it was, how it was prepared, etc. since we were clueless about it. It was great - better than the lamb. It was also prepared two ways: the breast and then a confit of the leg. The leg meat was much more gamey than the breast. It was served with some prunes soaked in tea and walnut milk. One of the most special dishes I've had in a long time. There was a pre-dessert of some type of tangy fruity cream and then I ordered a eucalyptus and spiced bread souffle that was really wonderul and my husband ordered the olive oil panna cotta with fig ice cream. He changed his mind and got the cheese plate instead, but they ended up bringing him the panna cotta as well, so he wouldn't second guess his decision (very nice). The cheeses were wonderful, and we were embarrassingly stuffed - but still ate the offered mignardises! What a wonderful dinner.
Thanks to all of you who made recommendations. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back again.
re: tlubow
Thanks for your awesome summary; always great to get an outside opinion. Sounds like you got the sausage roll from the same stall as Mrs King's Pork Pies -- they are good. The ones from the Ginger Pig (the butcher next to Mrs King's) are also worth trying.
re: tlubow
Thanks for your great summary. I'm really glad you enjoyed the Mandeville tea. It seems to often be an overlooked place, and I really enjoyed tea there this summer. My niece enjoyed it so much she's decided to take a job in London and will be moving here next month. (Well, that's a stretch, but we did like the Mandeville:-))
re: zuriga1
After the wonderful food we had, I'd like to take a job in London! Thanks again to all who assisted us.

Joseph Ali, 27, of Huntington Beach shows off an 18 pound California spiny lobster he caught with his hands while free diving, without tanks, near the pier Monday night Dec. 9, 2013.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. — Joseph Ali says onlookers thought he was drunk when he dove into the nighttime waters around a Southern California pier. But he came away with a monster of a lobster and the catch of a lifetime.
Ali tells the Orange County Register he was closing his father's business, Zack's Pier Plaza in Huntington Beach, Monday when he saw the ocean was calm and decided to dive for dinner. He was down about 15 feet going after a smaller lobster when he saw the giant. He says it was too big to grab properly but it latched onto him and he wrestled it to shore.
It weighed nearly 18 pounds — even a 5-pounder is considered trophy-sized — and was likely at least 30 years old.

With 2004's Summer in Abaddon,Rob Crow and Zach Smith cemented Pinback's reputation as the most misty-eyed and oblique indie-pop band ever. Now Crow spreads his beautifully erratic wings in his gazillionth side project, the Ladies, an experiment that finds him paired with Zach Hill, the maniacal drummer and polyrhythm junkie from the Zappa-fied rock duo Hella. Hard to say what Crow's thing is about guys named Zach, but the collaboration works. Hill's Buddy-Rich-in-a-hall-of-mirrors drumming style turns up the crazy dial on Crow's multi-faceted rock, resulting in a sound that retains Hella's chaotic impishness and Pinback's trademark melodiousness. Hella fans might be a little disappointed by the linearity and accessibility of most of the compositions. But the average Pinbacker will probably feel like he just got home after a long day to find all of his furniture surreptitiously rearranged according to the principles of feng shui -- disoriented, but in a remarkably harmonious way.

Countdown in the Good Life Garden
Did you count pollinators on Thursday, May 8?
That was "Be a Scientist Day," sponsored by the UC Agriculture and Natural Resources' Day of Science and Service to commemorate 100 years of Cooperative Extension.
UC ANR asked that you take three minutes out of your day and count the honey bees, bumble bees and butterflies and other pollinators.
Amina Harris and Art Shapiro did.
In the Good Life Garden.
It's a little treasure located in the courtyard of the Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science on the UC Davis campus.
The Good Life Garden's ever-changing edible landscape features lots of organic and sustainably grown vegetables, herbs and flowers--all for the faculty, students, staff, and visitors to enjoy.
And for pollinators, too.
Harris, director of the Honey and Pollination Center, and Shapiro, a butterfly expert and distinguished professor of evolution and ecology at UC Davis, happened to be enjoying the garden at the same time.
The count: 150 honey bees, two yellow-faced bumble bees (Bombus vosnesenskii) and one skipper butterfly. Most of them were foraging on the lavender or the catmint.
As a bonus, they saw dozens of lady beetles and immature lady beetles.
A good life. A very good life. A very good life in the Good Life Garden.

Bugs Galore at Dixon May Fair
The UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology is showcasing insects in the Floriculture Building, where displays include a bee observation hive from the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility, butterfly and other specimens from the Bohart Museum of Entomology, and arts and crafts from the Honey and Pollination Center.
In Today's Youth Building, six-year-old Mieko Heiser of Dixon is displaying "My Bug Exhibit," telling fairgoers how to catch, identity and pin insects. Her pinned insects include a honey bee, lacewing, field cricket and ladybug larvae. And, oh, yes, a spider (not an insect, but an arthropod).
"It's an amazing exhibit," said Sharon Payne, building superintendent and president of the Solano County 4-H Council. It won a best-of-show award, spotlighting the fair's theme, "Best of Show."
Here's what's "buggy" in the Floriculture Building, headed by florist Kathy Hicks:
- Entomologist Jeff Smith of the Bohart Museum will let fairgoers pet and hold a 22-year-old rose-haired tarantula from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., both Saturday and Sunday, May 10-11. He also plans to bring along Madagascar hissing cockroaches and walking sticks. Those are a few of the live critters, permanent residents, in the Bohart Museum's "petting zoo." The UC Davis-based museum, directed by Lynn Kimsey, UC Davis professor of entomology, is home to nearly eight million insect specimens.
- Billy Synk, manager of the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility, is scheduled to answer questions about bees from 11 to 4 p.m., Friday, May 9.
- Cameron Jasper, bee scientist with the Brian Johnson lab at UC Davis, plans to share bee information with fairgoers from 4 to 6 on Friday, May 9.
- Amina Harris, director of the Honey and Pollination Center, headquartered in the Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science, will show youngsters how to make bee/flower puppets from 1 to 5 p.m., Saturday, May 10.
- You can also expect to see native pollinator specialist Robbin Thorp, emeritus professor of entomology at UC Davis, there, too, schedule permitting.
Meanwhile, over on the UC Davis campus, a special event will take place on Friday, May 9 in the department's bee garden, the Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven, on Bee Biology Road, west of the central campus. The occasion: National Public Gardens Day. The open house will be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. and includes a guided tour from 6 to 6:30. Haven manager Christine Casey says "We'll also be giving away sunflower plants along with information about how to monitor them for bee activity."
The half-acre bee garden is open daily from dawn to dusk. Expect to see lots of bees and other pollinators, plus the amazing work of the UC Davis Art/Science Program.

Wings of Life
The buzz around UC Davis is about "The Wings of Life."
The Disneynature film, narrated by Meryl Streep, will be part of the "Evening of Inspiration" on Wednesday, July 24 at the UC Davis Conference Center, 550 Alumni Lane.
Sponsoring the event, to be held from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., is the UC Davis Honey and Pollination Center, headquartered in the Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science.
The film, a French-American documentary about the precarious relationship between pollinators and flowers, is billed as a "Davis premier." It will be shown starting at 7:30 p.m. at the UC Davis Conference Center, said Amina Harris, executive director of the Honey and Pollination Center. A discussion by filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg will follow. The conversation promises to be lively, inspirational and educational as the film focuses on such pollinators as bees, butterflies and bats.
Prior to the showing, guest will gather at 6:30 for honey tasting; music by Terry Press-Dawson; and education by pollinators.org. The UC Davis School of Education will co-sponsor the event.
The cost is $5 per person, with online registration encouraged. For online registration and more information, go to https://registration.ucdavis.edu/Item/Details/83.
That's the buzz around UC Davis!

A Special Event in June
(Editor's Note: This luncheon has been postponed until October 2013. Details forthcoming)
The buzz around the UC Davis campus is a June luncheon.
Not just any luncheon, but "A Luncheon in the Garden."
The UC Davis Honey and Pollination Center, directed by Amina Harris, is gearing up for the event, to be held Saturday, June 2 from noon to 3 p.m. in the UC Davis Good Life Garden, by the Robert Mondavi Center for Institute for Wine and Food Science.
Its purpose is to introduce and support the UC Davis Honey and Pollination Center to the community. As Harris describes it: "A dazzling five-course meal will be served, from appetizers to cheese and desserts. Each course features honeys from around the globe. Food and drink created by chefs, apiaries, wineries and meaderies and the farmers of California."
Sponsorship of this event supports the mission of the Honey and Pollination Center. It will:
- Promote the use of high quality honey in the California market, help ensure the sustainability of honey production in California, and showcase the importance of honey and pollination to the well-being of Californians.
- Spearhead efforts to gain support and assemble teams for research, education and outreach programs for various stakeholder groups including:
--The beekeeping industry
--Agricultural interests who depend on bee pollination
--Backyard beekeepers
Tickets are $125 per person. A limited number of tickets is available. "A Luncheon in the Garden" promises not only to usher in June, but provide honey and mead enthusiasts and food connoisseurs with a day to remember. The last day to register is May 24. For more information, contact events manager Tracy Diesslin at (530) 752-5233 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Everything's Coming Up Honey!
Amina Harris of the UC Davis Honey and Pollination Center will, too. She's offering honey tasting, along with arts and crafts for kids, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the south building of the Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science (RMI).
And both are free.
Mussen will greet folks from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Briggs Hall courtyard as they sample manzanita, pomegranate, lima bean, orange blossom, almond blossom and northern desert shrub (from Nevada) honey. He's coordinated the honey tasting for more than three decades.
Over at the RMI, visitors can sample honey, take a photo with a bee lady, make a cute bee that doubles as a handheld fan, buy a jar of honey, and buy notecards (yours truly donated the photos for this worthy cause).
Not to be outdone, staff research associate/beekeeper Billy Synk of the Department of Entomology's Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility will provide a bee observation hive in Room 122 of Briggs Hall. Folks can single out the queen and distinguish the worker bees (females) from the drones (males).
It promises to be a sweet day.
(And, oh, by the way, if you want to taste more honey flavors, be sure to register for the Honey and Pollination Center's "Luncheon in the Garden" on June 2 at RMI.)

November 26, 2014
Updated: 10/09/2013 1:00 A.M
Some Washington County residents get to keep their natural gas service a while longer.
One of those residents, Chuck Nonnenmacher, tells us the Ohio Public Utilities Commission has told Eureka-Hunter it can not shut off the natural gas line before the issue is resolved.
The pipeline serves about two dozen customers from Stanleyville to Waterford.
Eureka is a natural gas drilling company which wants to get out of the pipeline transmission business.
Nonnemaker says a negotiating session is set for October 24th at the PUCO's offices in Columbus.
If a resolution isn't reached, the commission could make it's own decision on the issue.
We've heard of issues with natural gas pipelines before, but this is a bit different.
It involves some area homeowners who face losing a pipeline, as well as their natural gas service.
This is a pipeline which runs roughly 20 miles from just outside Marietta to Waterford, serving more than two dozen homes.
In part, because of that very small number, Eureka Hunter informed residents last spring that the pipeline would be taken off line.
That's now set to happen November first.
It's left homeowners scrambling to find other providers, in most cases, with other types of fuel and at greater cost than they've been paying for natural gas.
"There are people, of course, on this line who are on fixed incomes. And that makes it difficult for us. We're just totally frustrated by this whole process," says homeowner John Biehl.
"We are working with two different pipeline companies who have stepped up," says Dan McCormick, Vice-President of Operations for Magnum Hunter. "There are two pockets of homeowners who have stepped up, and are in the process of transitioning to these two natural gas service providers."
Eureka Hunter, which is an affiliate of Magnum Hunter Resources, acquired the pipeline in 2010 as part of a bankruptcy proceeding.
It is looking to get out of the utility business.
Biehl told us he is concerned about the safety of other types of heating fuel, including that of propane.
That's one option homeowners in that area are being offered.

text: Microstamping: Bad Policy, Effective Gun Control Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 23 Jan 2014 post a comment The microstamping requirement for semi-automatic firearms in California is bad policy but effective gun control. This is why the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), together with Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute (SAAMI), filed a suit against the microstamping requirement in California on January 9th. While microstamping proponents claim the policy will lead to crime prevention and aid in police investigations of firearm-related crimes, the reality is that this practice results in de facto gun control--the kind of gun control that caused Smith & Wesson to join Sturm, Ruger, & Co. in announcing they will no longer sell semi-automatic firearms in CA. In a nutshell, miscrostamping is the placement of a fingerprint on the end of the firing pin of a semi-automatic firearm. In theory, this results in a mark traceable to that firearm--and that firearm alone--every time a bullet is fired and a shell casing ejected. According to the NSSF, this process "is costly and time consuming" and drives up prices of manufacturing enough to "threaten the employment of thousands in the firearm industry." Additionally, even after all the added cost and time, microstamping does not always work. There are problems with the legibility of the marks left by microstamped firing pins, and there are questions about collecting information for a database on microstamped guns, as well. Todd Lizotte holds the patent for microstamping technology, and even he admits that "legitimate questions exist related to both the technical aspects, production costs, and database management associated with microstamping that should be addressed before wide scale implementation is legislatively mandated." As California's front-running GOP gubernatorial candidate, Tim Donnelly, told Breitbart News: "Microstamping is a highly technical way to do what they've been trying to do all along, which is gun control."

Austin Lewandowski, 8, of Wisconsin gets an ear exam from Dr. Brian Yagoda, a pediatrician. Physical exams are important for all children, not just those with an illness.
Visit the Photo Place
By NANCY CHURNIN
Parents listen to pediatricians when a child is sick, but what do pediatricians want parents to hear when the goal is to keep children well?
We posed that question to three doctors--Dr. Joel B. Steinberg, attending physician at Children's Medical Center Dallas; Dr. Chris Straughn, a pediatrician at Medical City Children's Hospital in Dallas; and Dr. David Goff, a pediatrician at Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth.
Here's what they said:
Pay attention to nutrition from the start. Childhood obesity is easier to prevent than it is to rectify.
Obesity is harmful on every level, increasing a child's chances of developing Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and even cancer.
Steinberg said 80 percent of kids younger than a year old regularly eat french fries--a food he'd like to see less of in children's diets, along with macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, fried and other high-fat foods, and high-sugar drinks.
Straughn would like parents to eliminate high-fructose corn syrup from their children's diets.
The doctors agree on the importance of exercise from the earliest possible age. Straughn noted that a March study published in the journal Pediatrics finds that children who eat meals regularly with their family, get adequate sleep and limit their television time to no more than two hours a day had a 40 percent reduction in obesity compared with kids who had none of these routines.
Don't be afraid of immunizations. The doctors expressed concerns that too many parents forego lifesaving vaccines against measles, mumps, whooping cough, chickenpox, influenza and meningitis.
Steinberg said he respects the anxiety that some parents express about possible links between vaccines and autism, even though no such connections have been proven. He suggested discussing concerns with your child's pediatrician, who should be up to speed on the latest research.
Steinberg said that because autism is typically diagnosed at 18 months, he will delay some vaccinations until age 2 if parents prefer. He will also stagger immunizations for parents concerned about too many immunizations given at once, or he will offer vaccines that have no preservatives.

To support this initiative, Tuks FM invited CANSA on 27 February to take part in a shavathon and spray-on.
The staff members of Tuks FM decorated their hair with bright colours and one brave individual, Quintus Potgieter, DJ at Tuks FM and co-presenter of the Man Cave, shaved off all his hair for this noble cause.
Tuks FM joined in on the fun at the Run4Rhinos event which took place on 7 September 2013. The race, a student initiative, aims to raise awareness and funds for a DNA rhino database.
Wooly Winter is a community outreach
program Tuks FM does each year. In
2012 we asked listeners to donate blankets
which were distributed to various
organizations, including Jakaranda
Kinderhuis. We received over R65 000
worth of donations in 2012
Tuks FM has a great ongoing relationship
with the South African National
Council for the Blind. Tuks FM crew
members took part in White Cane Day
which created awareness about the
blind and how the community can assist
Tuks FM, in collaboration with the University of Pretoria, brought warmth to their hearts and tummies by donating blankets, food, clothing and much-needed funds. Donations of money, blankets, tinned food and clothing to the value of R200 000 were received. The donations received were distributed to Indaba Zosindiso Orphanage, Elandspoort; Boitumelo's Children's Home, Soshanguve; Sunnyside Orphanage, Sunnyside; President Kruger Children's Home, Villieria; Community of Sant' Egidio, Tshwane; Child Welfare Tshwane, Brooklyn and Angels Without Wings based in Pretoria North.
On 6 February 2014 Tuks FM welcomed the Rare Disease Society of South Africa.
The ambassador of the society, Oscar von Memerty who has a rare condition called Maroteaux Lamy Syndrome (characterised by dwarfism amongst other symptoms) entertained students at the University of Pretoria with his smooth moves.
Tuks FM supported the cause by driving the on-air campaign and facilitating the on-campus brand activation outside the Tuks FM studio.
We asked listeners to donate R67 to the SPCA . We wanted 67 donations but got over 250 instead. The crew then spent the day helping out at the SPCA playing with animals and cleaning their cages.
Daspoort Polyclinic is a training facility of the University of Pretoria and celebrated its 50th anniversary of caring for the community on Friday, 12 September 2014 at the Generaal Nicolaas Smit Sports Grounds. Tuks FM provided entertainment on the day through announcement services and music. Services rendered on the day included glucose testing, physiotherapy, oral health services, HIV- testing and eye screening to name a few. All services were free of charge and members from the community could enjoy a free hamburger and cold drink when visiting three of the 30 stalls on the day. For more information on the Daspoort Polyclinic email firstname.lastname@example.com or for more information on Tuks FM email firstname.lastname@example.com
On Saturday, 7 June 2014, Tuks FM joined Wollies Animal Project for a fun golf day fundraiser at the Hillside Golf Course in Pretoria North.
Tuks FM entertained the public with vibey tunes while Tuks FM newsreader, Adrian van der Velden acted as the announcer on the day. For more information on Wollies Animal Project visit www.facebook.com/WolliesAnimalProject
Run4Rhinos is a walk/run event which
donates all proceeds to the conservation
and protection of rhinos in South Africa.
The Tuks FM crew put on their running
shoes and rocked for our rhinos.
Disability Day provided a chance to
create awareness about disabilities
among students in a fun and creative
way. On the day there were wheelchair
races, a beautiful performance by a
blind group of singers and a chance to
interact with guide dogs.
Tuks FM joined the Hatfield City Improvement District at their 8th annual event on 18 October 2014.
Hope Starts in Hatfield is a community event which encourages the public to get involved with local NGOs in support of the caring and well-being of animals and people alike.
The public showed their support by completing either the 'Walk your doggy' 5km fun run/walk or the 'Stomp your Paws for Rhinos' 5km and 10km fun run/walk. Tuks FM supported the cause by providing music and announcement services on the day. The event was also advertised on Tuks FM's Community Calendar which is an on-air platform that informs the public of non-profit initiatives and events. All profits were donated to non-profit organisations including SAVA Community Veterinary Clinics, Wet Nose, SPCA, Ferral Cats and Friends of Rietvlei (in support of their rhinos).
For more information on Hope Starts in Hatfield contact Henriëtte Vorster on email@example.com.

Industry leaders see a disaster coming, as the need for infrastructure investments collides with the economic interests of utility shareholders and customers. In a shaky economy and a politically...
Kyle Rudden, vice-president and head of global utilities equity research at J.P. Morgan, sees some companies getting hurt by the market.
"It would likely shoot first and ask questions later," he says.
"It would likely focus on companies that made significant investments in California such as Reliant, Duke, Calpine, Dynegy, and AES-those that right now are making money there and do have capacity there and bought or built capacity there in anticipation of a competitive market. Those would certainly get hit first."
Edward Tirello Jr., managing director at Deutsche Bank, sees the price cap policy as "a pure-and-simple case of regulators and politicians gone crazy."
He adds, "It is delusional to think you can take a rate-of-return industry in which they were losing money on two of the three services they were offering É break it up into three separate business, transmission, distribution and generation, two of which are federally regulated and one regulated by the state, and expect the prices to go down.
"Let's say you put [in] a $500 price cap you know what happens? Everybody bids $499. You put in $250, everybody bids $249. Instead of the price coming down, it stays artificially high. "Price caps cause higher prices. They can't stop what is happening because they caused it."
Meanwhile, the PX says it has a formula that shows that its prices reflect economic reality. Of course, the PX apologizes that it developed its model by taking market observations only through March of this year, but so much the better. That should make the model even more unbiased in testing whether the summer's prices behaved as expected, or whether someone was gaming the market. The PX described its model in its second annual report to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, filed on July 31. It relies on six input variables, reflecting demand, supply, and prior market experience:
- The unconstrained market-clearing price (UMCP) for the previous day.
- The prior day's UMCQ.
- The ISO's load forecast.
- . Temperatures in San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles, and San Diego,
- The natural gas city gate price for the three major investor-owned utilities, SoCal Edison, PG&E, and San Diego Gas & Electric,
- Coal plant availability for the three IOUs, and
- Nuclear plant availability for the three IOUs.
The PX notes that of all the variables in the model, yesterday's price and volume seem to be the least relevant. In fact, the closer the hour to mid-afternoon (hours 14-17), the more important are load, temperature, and unit availability, and the less important still is yesterday's price. All these factors taken together explain all but 12 percent of price movements, says the PX. But its report adds a disturbing observation: During the 12-month study period from April 1, 1999 to March 31, 2000, the off-peak prices fit the model the best. By contrast, the model explained only about 60 percent of price trends seen during the peak hours.
Nevertheless, the PX still refuses to acknowledge any untoward market behavior to account for unexplained price behavior. It suggests instead that other "fundamental factors" might be at work,

Beautiful plates
I liked the plates and they work perfectly with our design; however, they were much darker colored than shown in the catalog picture.
I hung these on my dining room wall. They look elegant on my wall. I bought these plates because they go well with my Vineyard Bless Our Home Plaque. The plates are well designed and came beautifully packed. Really beautiful.
I really like these. I had a set with the hanging rack and it fell and broke all four plates. I actually like these better
I bought this plate set to compliment my grape themed kitchen. They are gorgeous and I absolutely love them, the color & design only add to that pleasure! I am quite pleased with this purchase!

We knew Rory McIlroy was planning on racing up to Sports Authority Field at Mile High this Sunday night to catch the Broncos-Colts game. And it turns out he's bringing a couple friends: Phil Mickelson and Bubba Watson.
According to the Denver Post, the players will "have passes waiting" for them whenever they're able to show up for the game. The Broncos made plans for McIlroy and Mickelson early Monday, while Watson was added later. They'll all be playing the BMW Championship at Cherry Hills, which is scheduled to have an awards ceremony on the 18th green at 4 p.m. MT. Kickoff for the football game nine miles north is slated for 6:30 p.m.
NBC stated during its Deutsche Bank Championship telecast on Monday that McIlroy will be on hand as a guest of Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning. So it's likely that Mickelson and Watson would be too.
Then again, while McIlroy's NFL allegiances are unknown – he's from Northern Ireland, after all, and his favorite football team is Manchester United – Mickelson is an avid follower of the San Diego Chargers. In general, Chargers fans aren't fond of the Broncos, their AFC West rival. Mickelson will probably be pulling for the Colts, considering the Broncos have won his team's division the past three years.
Watson, meanwhile, is a fan of the Saints -- or at least The Greenbrier, where New Orleans holds training camp.
As for the golf tournament, McIlroy, Mickelson and Watson hope to be playing late into the afternoon on Sunday. In fact, if Mickelson isn't, there's a good chance he'll be playing his final PGA Tour event of the season. After tying for 45th at the Deutsche Bank, he's ranked 56th out of the top 70 golfers who will be in Denver, and if he doesn't play well enough to jump into the top 30, he won't make it to next week's Tour Championship.
Watson sits at No. 6 in the FedExCup standings after a T-29 at the Deutsche Bank, so he's set for the season finale. He's looking for a third win this season after taking his second Masters in April.
And McIlroy is No. 2 in overall points. He tied for fifth on Monday at the Deutsche Bank, and would take a huge lead into the Tour Championship if he were to win the BMW Championship. McIlroy has never won the FedExCup.

Pacific Lobsters-where are they??
- o
- okiedokieartichokie Nov 16, 2007 09:02 AM
Trying to locate live Pacific Lobsters....has anyone seen them? We used to be able to get them good and cheap at our local 99 Ranch market but not this year apparently. Saw them at Fish King but whoa! $22/lb! No thanks, I'll keep looking. So the search continues....would love to find a source somewhere near the Pasadena area.
Santa Monica Seafood has them, but bear in mind that their prices are generally quite a bit higher than Fish King.
I get them from the Anjin II at sm farmer's markets. I think $17.00/lb and delicious. She is also at other farmer's markets.
re: dreamcast18
thanks for the info! Any idea on the cost per lb at HK Supermarket?
Pretty pricey- but - I ate 5 meals off a 2-1/2 pounder from Quality Seafood in Redondo so at $21+/lb.... I had a Dungeness the day before and the meat yield was not even comparable. The spiny lobster was a great tasty deal. And these guys are so angry and alive they practically flip out of the fishmongers hands.
In Little Saigon in Westminster, (I know, a bit far from Pasadena), go to the
A Dong Supermarket
9221 Bolsa Ave, Westminster, CA
(714) 657-7456
they usually have very large (4 - 6 lbs) Pacific Spiny Lobsters for less than $10/lb.
Unbeatable deal.
Been to a Filipino supermarket yesterday in Carson that has more fresh seafood that any market here in LA or Orange County. It's called Seafood City on Carson and Main Street. Hard to find parking though.

To prospectively evaluate rotator cuff contact with the glenoid in healthy volunteers placed in the unloaded and loaded abduction and external rotation (ABER) positions in an open magnetic resonance (MR) imager.The study was institutional review board approved and HIPAA compliant, and informed consent was received. Eight male volunteers with no history of shoulder pain or pathology were imaged in a 0.5-T open MR imager. Volunteers were imaged in an unloaded ABER position with the arm at 90 degrees abduction and in a loaded ABER position, with a 1-kg load that produced an average external rotation of 111 degrees+/-6 (standard deviation). Two radiologists graded rotator cuff contact on a three-point scale. Three-dimensional anatomic models generated from the MR images were used to measure distances. Minimum distances were computed between the tendon insertion sites and the glenoid, acromion, and coracoid for the loaded ABER position. Minimum distances were compared by using a paired Student t test.In the unloaded ABER position, contact was seen between the infraspinatus and supraspinatus tendons and the glenoid in all eight volunteers. In the loaded ABER position, contact was also observed between the infraspinatus and supraspinatus and the posterior and posterosuperior glenoid, respectively. Deformation of the infraspinatus on the glenoid was seen in four volunteers, whereas supraspinatus deformation was only seen in one volunteer. The minimum distance between the supraspinatus insertion and acromion in the loaded ABER position decreased significantly (P<.01). Supraspinatus tendon to glenoid and infraspinatus tendon to glenoid minimum distances also decreased significantly (P<.01).The unloaded and loaded ABER positions resulted in contact of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus with the glenoid in all volunteers. Distances between the rotator cuff insertion sites and the glenoid decreased in the loaded ABER position.

Good thing that old broad is dead. I'd turn her in for hoarding.
Most hot-water radiator thermostats would probably be far too imprecise to properly regulate the heat and avoid a 'roast', so maybe that radiator went unused in the winter. Some of the birds look like lovebirds, others perhaps budgies or parakeets; what a challenge for someone intent on 'colorizing' the photograph!
January 15, 1920, Kanawha County, West Virginia: John "Tweety" Bird (left, age 8) and his brother James "Canary" (right, age 6), have been working in the safety division of the local mines, sniffing out lethal fumes, since they dropped out of the local school of music. Pictured with their boss, Mrs. William Pennypincher. An older brother Joe hasn't been seen in quite a while, but Mrs. Pennypincher tells the others not to worry.
These birds. All dead now.
She looks like the prototype for Granny.
So is that bird sick? Is she giving it tweetment?
She's an aviatrix.
lurks Sylvester.
A Google search reveals that Jno is the abbreviation of the name John. What this accomplishes escapes me as when the obligatory period is included, no space has been saved. Perhaps some ink.
Come heating season, won't the tier of cages immediately above the radiator be too hot for safety?

Nature's Variety Instinct Grain-Free Chicken Formula Canned Cat Food Customer Reviews
Nature's Variety Instinct Grain-Free Chicken Formula Canned Cat Food 60 60
My cats became nicer and their coats shinier I did a lot of research for an affordable, grain-free cat food, and I am so happy with the results from using Nature's Variety. My cat's coats were dull and somewhat coarse, and they seemed to become very irritable. After a month with the chicken formula, they just seemed happier, and more eager to play. They seemed much more satiated. Their coats became substantially shiner and softer. I have since switched to venison, and that has worked great as well. The food itself has a strong aroma, but not too strong. You can even see the carrots and other veggies in the pate. I am very happy with this product and so are my cats. January 10, 2013
this brand of wet and dry food cleared up my cats IBS excellent product .This wet and dry food cleared up my cats IBS January 15, 2013
My fussy eater loves it! For the past 3 years Iâve been pulling my hair trying to find a grain-free canned cat food that my cat will actually eat. He grew up eating Fancy Feast, and since I pulled him off it I have tried feeding him just about every grain-free cat food that I could buy, but he always refused to eat more than just a few bites, if any... Well, 2 weeks ago that changed when I gave him Instinct Grain-Free Chicken Formula. He loves it so much that I just ordered a second case. I havenât tried giving him any of the other flavors yet. I wish it was sold in a âvariety packâ, so my cat could try the different flavors before I had to commit to buying a full case. April 5, 2012
Best wet food in the world (esp for cats with food or health issues)! Despite my five cats' many food and/or other health issues, this food never fails. They love it (along with the rabbit and duck varieties) no matter how often they eat it. I love it because of the high protein content and lack of frivolous ingredients. One of my five kitties can't eat other wet food without getting seriously ill. (I am not exaggerating. I have tried everything, including cooking her salmon every day until I found this product.) December 15, 2012
A Happy Healthy Kitty I found out about Nature's Variety Instinct when researching non-garbage cat food options for my new cat. Grain-free, no artifical flavors or fillers, no carrageenan - almost impossible to find cat food that don't have carrageenan - Cans are BPA free. Not imported from China. My cat is pretty picky and he loves this stuff. It seems almost impossible to find the 3oz cans anywhere locally #or online for that matter), so this is a great deal for us. September 19, 2012
Chicken Formula My cats love the chicken, lamb, duck and rabbit! This is a healthy cat food, delivers on time, no problems. February 15, 2012
High quality product My cats love Natures Variety instinct. I will only feed grain-free cat food and of all the grain-free cat food available, they prefer Natures Variety. February 14, 2012
Awesome! My very finicky cat Mikey LOVED this food! I never saw him so enthusiastic about eating anything! Unfortunately he had cancer & is no longer with me. You can be sure my next cat wil be eating Instinct from Day One! I also bought it for my dog & he loves it also. For two years I have been trying to find the source of his scratching & biting! It stopped within days of starting the Instinct dog food. I will be a customer for life! February 14, 2012

New superintendent named for Jefferson schools
Updated On: Jun 12 2014 12:10:31 PM CDT
The Jefferson County School District 251 has announced its new superintendent.
