The Blair's granddaughter Jena has spent the summer busily working at The Empress. She has been a huge help, doing everything from answering phones and taking reservations to cleaning rooms and checking in guests. Another great thing she brings to the table is the optimism and ingenuity of youth. A great example of this young, fun attitude is a recent birthday celebration we had for Shana, Sharon's executive assistant. A birthday of a staff member is always celebrated with a card and a cake (or sometimes cupcakes!) and it fell on Jena to order the cake and buy the card for this particular celebration. The cake was ordered in plenty of time (and, being from Community Bakery, was absolutely DELICIOUS) but the card was forgotten until the last minute. Instead of a last minute dollar store run or a quick search for appropriate clip art, (solutions we old people would embrace) Jena wasted no time in breaking out her youthful creativity and art skills and quickly created a card using nothing but paper, pens, sharpies and a lot of imagination. Shana pronounced it the best card to ever be presented at The Empress (and the cupcake wasn't all that bad either!).

TSO Comes Back to Little Rock!!!
September 16th, 2013 by Lisa
Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) is an American progressive rock band founded in 1993 by producer, composer, and lyricist Paul O'Neill, who brought together Jon Oliva and Al Pitrelli (both members of Savatage) and keyboardist and co-producer Robert Kinkel to form the core of the creative team. The band gained in popularity when they began touring in 1999 after completing their third rock opera, "Beethoven's Last Night." By 2007, The Washington Post referred to them as, "a touring juggernaut" and describing their music as, "Pink Floyd, meets, The Who, meets Yes." TSO has sold more than 9 million concert tickets and over 8 million albums. The band's musical style incorporates classical, orchestral, symphonic, and progressive elements into hard rock and heavy metal. The band has released a series of rock operas: Christmas Eve and Other Stories, The Christmas Attic, Beethoven's Last Night, The Lost Christmas Eve (the final installment of their Christmas trilogy), and their two-disc Night Castle. Trans-Siberian Orchestra is also known for their extensive charity work and elaborate concerts, which include a string section, a light show, lasers,"enough pyro to be seen from the international space station", moving trusses, video screens, and effects synchronized to music.
Both Billboard Magazine and Pollstar have ranked them as one of the top ten ticket-selling bands in the first decade of the new millennium These numbers are even more impressive when you factor in that TSO is the first major rock band to go straight to theaters and arenas, never playing a club, never having an opening act and never being an opening act.
See this amazing show in Little Rock on Friday, December 20, 2013! This show sells out nearly every year here in the Rock, so get your tickets now! Bring your friends or your significant other and enjoy a weekend at The Empress topped off by the TSO playing The Lost Christmas Eve!!!

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I hate this school. I hate this city. Its boring and people are fake. Take me out.
I attended wc from my freshman to sophomore year and I never really liked it. They have teachers coming and going left and right, TOO many rules and the school is just not a place a teenager should spend their high school years. Yes, wc is one of the newer schools in the district but we as students have no privileges and I felt like I was at elementary school, especially during the 2013-2014 school year. The education is pretty good but we have lost a lot of teachers because they do not agree with the choices of the administration, which I as a student understand why they don't. They have sports and JROTC but wc football team is horrible, so if you are serious in football, do yourself a favor and avoid wc at all cost. The JROTC is probably one of the best programs they have at the school and the drill team is outstanding. Also, the soccer team is pretty good, too. A lot of people who attend wc would say that its one of the strictest schools in the district (which is very true), and I will not be attending wc my junior or senior yeat because I feel like I need to know what high school is actually like.But that's just my opinion.
My school is new, only 5 years old. However, the teachers and administration are incredibly dedicated to the success of our students. We have some incredible one-of-a-kind programs in the arts, sports & JROTC that offer wonderful opportunities for our students.
This school is ok, pretty diverse but the experience for my child was awful! The authority engaged in this school is cold hearted and cannot be relied on. If the authority was changed, I would possibly reccomend this school to others.
I won't say that West Creek is the best school, but it fares well compared to some of the other schools in the county. The main issue I have is with the children who aren't there for an education. Typically if you aren't in an honors or AP class, learning may be difficult because those around you don't want to learn and become disruptive. That being said, when you do learn, you learn a lot. Most of my teachers care just as much about my education as I do and are willing to take time out of their schedule to help me achieve success be it through before and/or after school tutoring or taking student input into their curriculum. As for the school as a whole, it is quite nice. A lot of effort goes into keeping are school clean and our technology is constantly being updated (for example, my teacher does our lessons through a tablet instead of only using dry erase markers or the overhead projector). The football team is horrible, but the drill team and basketball team are outstanding. The school is pretty good considering what they have to work with.
This school is horrible. They are unwilling to help students the attendance lady will not accept notes half the time signed by a doctor also. The principal is very uncaring and the teachers are in the mode of 'you'll catch on soon'
My kids just enrolled in to this school last week and they love it. My daughter whom is in the 10th grade has also been telling me about how good their step team is.
Our kids have attended the middle and high school since they opened and I can tell you it has gotten worse with each passing year. Middle school wasn't bad, the high school is terrible. Certain teachers are unwilling to help students and typically give the "you'll catch on" attitude. The principal and assistant principal are disgraces to school faculty. Bulliying runs rampant and unchecked by the staff. They simply refuse to acknowledge any problems, turn a blind eye, and operate like everything is fine. One child even admitted to the staff (principal, asst principal, and school counselors) that he made the alleged threats and his actions still went unchecked. I can not wait for our kids to be done with West Creek. It has become a very exclusive school and if you aren't in the clique you're not welcone there. This goes for students and parents alike.
This school is ran like a military school. Its newer but its not how high school should be. They dont have alot of activities for the students. Sports are ok. The Principal is heartless. Looking forward to moving out of this state. And the grading scale is different. My child is bored with this school. He said he 0 fun in school. They cant even have water in class. Ok so all these athletes can just dehydrate.....they dont care. Im really hoping my son wont have to graduate from here.
This is a wonderful school everyone gets along pretty well there is no problems with bullying or nothing. The principal especially always trys to get a smile out of everyone.
I have to admit it I actually like this school and I never want to miss a day because its so fun.
This school has gone from good to poor since the beginning of the second year of opening. This students are unruly, disrespectful. Final exams are a joke. My children in the middle and high school brought some exams home to work on them. Study guides were no more than cheat sheets with fill in the blanks and used during exams. I moved as soon as possible. When the new school was told they came from the west Creek schools they were concerned and the children were given placement tests. They did poor and have a hard road to recover the time lost. At least we have time to fix this and a school that cares. One last note, One of my children took a tape recorder into his English class because I did not believe the stories. You could hear the teacher giving her lecture, 2 cell phones rang, students goofing off and talking. For 15 minutes this went on and the teacher never missed a beat with her lecture or tried to regain any control. I sent a copy to Principal , asst Principal, superintendent of MCSC and our school board member. One response from the asst principal who called me and said "That is the discretion of the teacher if the students do not want to listen do not want to listen"
West Creek High is an excellent school and the quailty of education is above all others. The leadership of Dr. Patterson has fostered an environment that ensures our students will be successful!
every one is so frendly and nice and not to menshion the teachers they are all twice as cooler

Mohan Babu's natural look in Ram Gopal Varma's 'Rowdy'
Veteran actor Manchu Mohan Babu, for the first time in the last many years, will appear sans a toupee in Ram Gopal Varma's forthcoming Telugu political thriller "Rowdy".
"Mohan Babu will be seen in his natural avatar in RGV's forthcoming big action film 'Rowdy', sporting his real look without toupee. The power packed team behind the movie feels the intensity of this film is sure to freeze the audience this summer," read a statement from the film's production AV Pictures.
The 61-year old has been sporting a toupee for his roles in recent films like "Pandavulu Pandavulu Tummeda", "Jhummandi Naadam" and "Saleem".
After many years, Mohan Babu is paired with veteran actress Jayasudha in the film, which also features his son Manchu Vishnu.
Mohan and Jayasudha have earlier worked together in films such as "Gruhapravesham", "Sivaranjani" and "Edadugula Bandham".
The makers believe "Rowdy" will be bigger than many hits of Mohan Babu.
"Producers of the film, Parthasarathy, Gajendra and Vijaykumar of AV Pictures say that the film's impact is expected to be even bigger than Mohan Babu's hit films such as 'Peddarayadu' and 'Rayalaseema Ramana Chowdary'," added the statement.
Actress Shanvi Srivastav will be seen in an important role in the film, which has music by Sri Karthik.
The film was reportedly completed in 18 days.

"All My Children" recap (Apr. 29-May 3): Bianca is back, bitches
While I kind of expected it, it still felt like a punch to the solar plexus. Bianca just talks to Marissa, like she was still there, right in front of her. She expresses her surprised joy at actually picking out a shirt that Miranda liked, and opens herself up to Marissa about being a mom. She tells Marissa that she'd be proud of AJ, and that he is turning out to be a great guy. It's all so terribly heartbreaking, especially as the cracks begin to deepen in Bianca's voice as she says,
"We were supposed to do this together."
Her big brown eyes fill with the biggest tears I've ever seen. Tears big enough to drown all of Pine Valley. Bianca has lost so much, and been hurt so many times that I can't believe she's still standing upright. Yet she does. She runs her fingers across Marissa's name, and I choke back a sob.
"I will never stop missing you." she says, and we know that she means it.
Back at Jane's Addiction, Miranda noticed that Hunter has invited another girl named Sally to sit with them. You see, Hunter, genius that he is, is trying to hook up a threesome with Miranda and Sally. Miranda is appalled and Hunter doesn't get why she's pissed. He assumed because her mom likes girls that Miranda is into that as well.
She tells him to shove his gross misogynist, entitled teenage boy assumptions up his ass. Sorry that was just wishful thinking. Actually she starts to cry and runs out of the shop, which is probably what I would have done too. Hunter calls after her that he guesses "mommy hasn't taught her how to be a freak." This is why you can't trust a guy with Bieber hair. Also, he calls Miranda a "n00b". AJ jumps to Miranda's defense, and punches Hunter the hell out.
Join me every week as I recap Bianca's trials and tribulations. What did you think of the return of All My Children?
All My Children airs every weekday and is available free on Hulu or for download on iTunes.

James Dean's Last Race
50 years ago in Santa Barbara.
By May 2, 2005
James Dean brought his Porsche Speedster to Santa Barbara's airport course, fated to be his last race.
Historians enjoy small epiphanies when they uncover some artifact that allows them a previously unreachable grasp of history. If the newly uncovered factoid involves someone famous and contradicts the conventional wisdom, so much the better. A series of events earlier this year allowed two racing journalists one of those rare moments.
It began with Philippe Defechereux's desire to have a foreword written for his book, James Dean, From Passion for Speed to Immortality, to be published by Dalton Watson later this year. It covers the movie star's racing career and fatal accident in a Porsche 550 in the fall of 1955. Defechereux contacted me [Lynch] to write his book's foreword describing the Southern California road-racing scene where Dean competed. I had a basic knowledge of Dean's short though impressive racing record but began researching it more thoroughly to fill in the details.
Born in Indiana, James Dean lived in Los Angeles from the time he was 4 until he was 9. When his mother died, he rode the train back to Indiana with her remains and lived in the hamlet of Fairmount with an aunt and uncle until he graduated high school in 1949. A few days later, Dean was on a bus to rejoin his father in California. James attended Santa Monica City College and transferred to UCLA to study drama. In the spring of 1951, he went to New York where success on Broadway brought him back to L.A. early in 1954 to make his first movie, East of Eden.
With some of his Eden money, James bought a used MG TD, the most popular sports car of its day. By early 1955, about to make his second film, Rebel Without a Cause, Dean decided he wanted to go racing. He purchased a Porsche Super Speedster from dealer John von Neumann. The model was only recently introduced and was the hot setup for the under-1500-cc production class. Speedsters were in short supply, and Dean's celebrity almost certainly moved him to the head of the waiting list.
James's private personality was much different from the on-screen Dean. He was very methodical in his approach to reaching goals. In high school he'd done well in debate. He'd also won the Indiana section of a National Thespian Society contest, and went on to finish sixth nationally. He approached racing in the same calculating way. Within 10 days, he put 1000 miles on his Speedster, much of it on Mulholland Drive, where difficult curves on the coastal range crest were a breeding ground for would-be racers and some real ones as well.
Dean's first race was on Saturday, the 26th of March, on an airport course at Palm Springs. From the moment the flag dropped, his training and choice of mount paid off. Dean took the lead and was never challenged. After the race, interviewed by Gus Vignolle, editor of a biweekly racing tabloid, MotoRacing, Dean said, "Gee, I can't believe it. All I've been doing is racing around Mulholland Drive."
His victory in the under-1500-cc production race gained him entry into the next day's under-1500-cc main event that mixed production cars with faster modifieds. Dean wisely did not attempt to match the pace of two veterans in MG Specials, Ken Miles and Cy Yedor. They finished 1st and 2nd, while James drove a lonely race to 3rd position, winning the production class. The attitude of those pit denizens who'd made fun of this "second-rate Brando" did a complete 180.
On Saturday, April 30, Dean appeared at Minter Field in Bakersfield. He was placed in a race alongside other drivers with limited experience. As in his second race at Palm Springs, there were also faster modified cars in the event. Once again, Dean won the production class, finishing 3rd to Joe Playan's MG Special and Jean Pierre Kunstle's Devin-Panhard, both modified cars.
On Sunday, Dean was again in the under-1500-cc main event due to his class win on Saturday. This time the field of modifieds was even larger. After a race-long duel, Dean was barely nosed out by Springer Jones in another Porsche Super for production class honors. They were 8th and 9th overall.
As I continued my research, documenting these races was fairly easy. When it came to Dean's next competition, at Santa Barbara over Memorial Day weekend, things got more complicated. The Santa Barbara program had Dean entered in Race 2 for F Production cars, the correct class for Dean's Speedster. Various sources said Dean had raced at Santa Barbara in a preliminary and had not finished. It was generally assumed that Dean entered the F Production event on Saturday, the 28th of May, based on the program information. Nonetheless, confirming this was not possible, because the usual publications did not cover the race. Even Road & Track's reportage showed only the first three finishers in each race and didn't list retirements.
Motorsport researcher Michael Ling got me the race coverage from the Santa Barbara News-Press. It had five articles over four days by four different writers. Dean wasn't mentioned until a Monday summary of the weekend, and it said he had not finished his race on Saturday. I was suspicious of why he hadn't been mentioned in the Saturday and Sunday coverage, both of which covered the Saturday race in which he was originally entered in the program.
At this point I called my sometimes co-author, William Edgar, also doing research on Dean. Edgar, whose father John was one of the most famous road-racing entrants of the 1950s, had recently licensed some of his film footage to a milestone feature documentary being produced for Warner Brothers through a company called Screen Icons. The Martin Sheen-narrated James Dean: Forever Young will be released by Warner Brothers later this year and covers Dean's career in television and film, ending with his final foray into racing. Here, I turn the story over to Edgar:

The Hendon Bagel Bakery is a small Jewish sandwich bar that offers a range of bagels like sesame, wholemeal, wheat etc. You can get a variety of fillings. It is a bit misleading to call it a bagel store as although it does sell bagels it also offers sandwiches, croissants, and dessert stuff like cheesecakes.
The service is very polite and the quality is good. You can sit in or you can take away. This is a good place to stop by and grab a sandwich or cake and hot drink.
This is a tidy, open space along a strip of somewhat underwhelming shops in Hendon. I was glad to have found it. The pastries are gorgeous, and, for the calorie and coin counter, some are 'mini' versions of the usual-sized goodies (think: croissants, pain au chocos, and sows' ears--don't know what ya'll call 'em here) at a fraction of the price.
The loaves of bread (challah, white, wheat, light rye) seem to come both bagged and unbagged. The bagels are displayed in open baskets out on the floor and appear to be sold singly. Help yourself...to a pair of tongs! I was surprised and happy to see the tongs. Too bad there weren't any judiciously placed near the unbagged loaves. I stood next to a man who picked up around five separate loaves of wheat (and one bagette) in both hands in order to caress their middles and squeeze gently on their crusts. At one point it looked as if he were going to bring a loaf up to his ear. I expect he was hoping to hear the ocean. After all the fingering, he actually bought one!
I bought a small, bagged rye loaf for £1.55. After watching the 'Bread Whisperer' do his thing on the wheat loaves, I left the naked bagels untouched. I'll be back, however, for some Hammentaschen and mini sows' ears!
The Hendon Bagel Bakery is a fantastic place to get a freshly made bagel. They are absolutely yummy and the bread always tastes very fresh. As do the ingredients, you can mix and match any to your choice, just like as if you were in subways. They also put in quite a lot of filling so you get good value for money. My personal favourite is classic cream cheese, salmon and cucumber! The staff are also kind and courteous and I would definitely be back again! All in all I would recommend the bagel bakery to anyone looking for a quick snack!
Deliciously fresh bread made everyday, everytime I walk past i'm am enticed by the fragrence and buy some bagels or a loaf. I'd recommend it.
I often buy fresh made bread from there. It is really fantastic and inexpensive. Only one negative thing about them they are out of my favourite bread quite often. Maybe they have to bake some more of its kind. Thanks!
Such a disaapointment! Have driven past this place several times & we always fancied it, tempted by the words 'bagel bakery'. We were so excited, expecting lovely warm fresh bagels, dripping with melting cream cheese instead we got pre-wrapped pre-prepared COLD pieces of rubber with some foul tasting cream cheese in it! I could not even eat mine, it was so rubbery even though I was very hungry! For that privilege, I paid £2 & was still hungry!

The forest has been noisy of late with birdcalls. The whipbird males have stopped their urgent calls as they have mated with their adoring females. Fantailed cuckoos, golden whistlers, grey shrike-thrushes, Lewin's honeyeaters have all been tting in on the action.
Most of the fruit trees are now in full fruit. The wet weather has had an impact on many insects and their numbers are now lower than normal.
I haven't spent a night on the mountain recently, but in the valleys of the Scenic Rim frogs are changing their activities as well. We heard the whistling tree-frogs and clicking froglets throughout winter, but their voices have now been joined by those of ornate burrowing frogs, marsh frogs, sedgefrogs and emerald-spotted tree-frogs, and the male stoney-creek frogs are starting to develop their yellow breeding colours. Folks staying on the mountain might like to investigate what the frogs up there are doing now especially after all of the rain

(Reuters) - Chen Wei-yih has posed for a set of photos in a flowing white dress, enlisted a wedding planner and rented a banquet hall for a marriage celebration with 30 friends.
But there is no groom. Chen will marry herself.
Uninspired by the men she's met but facing social pressure to get married, the 30-year-old Taipei office worker will hold the reception next month in honour of just one person.
"Age thirty is a prime period for me. My work and experience are in good shape, but I haven't found a partner, so what can I do?" Chen said.
"It's not that I'm anti-marriage. I just hope that I can express a different idea within the bounds of a tradition."
This, this is about my own some-day daughter. When you approach me, already stung-stayed with insecurity, begging, "Mom, will I be pretty? Will I be pretty? , " I will wipe that question from your mouth like cheap lipstick and answer no.
The word pretty is unworthy of everything you will be, and no child of mine will be contained in five letters. You will be pretty intelligent, pretty creative, pretty amazing, but you will never be merely "pretty.""—Katie Makkai
Indian sportswomen, it appears, have finally arrived, seeing their triumphant performance at the Commonwealth Games where they won medals in almost every sport they took part in, say noted women experts.
The Indian sportswomen have emerged as the real 'heroes' surprising many with their prize-winning spree.
'We are very proud of them and their efforts. They have become role models for many young girls. Their success is an inspiration and a proof that if girls are given a chance, they can shine too,' Ranjana Kumari, director of the Centre for Social Research, told IANS.
'If they are encouraged more, they will definitely do much better. There should also be a support system for athletes who come from poor backgrounds, irrespective of their sex,' Kumari said.
'And it was seen in these Games that many such athletes exhibited so much of talent,' she added.
A Room of One's Own is an extended essay by Virginia Woolf. First published in 24 October 1929,[1] the essay was based on a series of lectures she delivered at Newnham College and Girton College, two women's colleges at Cambridge University in October 1928.
The essay is generally seen as a feminist text, and is noted in its argument for both a literal and figural space for women writers within a literary tradition dominated by patriarchy.
In one section, Woolf invented a fictional character, Judith, "Shakespeare's sister," to illustrate that a woman with Shakespeare's gifts would have been denied the same opportunities to develop them because of the doors that were closed to women. Like Woolf, who stayed at home while her brothers went off to school, Judith stays at home while William goes off to school. Judith is trapped in the home: "She was as adventurous, as imaginative, as agog to see the world as he was. But she was not sent to school."[5] Woolf's prose holds all the hopes of Judith Shakespeare against her brother's hopes in the first sentence, then abruptly curtails Judith's chances of fulfilling her promise with "but."

Women's rights were once the poster issue for Western intervention in Afghanistan, and images of women shrouded in burqas fuelled outrage against the extremist Taliban regime.
But nearly a decade later, says a senior Canadian aid official, women are facing a new rights battle, and may have little chance of winning unless there is a radical shift in the political landscape.
Human rights advocate Sima Samar may become the first person from Afghanistan to win the Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to promote women's health and education, according to the International Peace Research Institute.
Samar, a doctor who is head of the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission, would be the 13th woman to win the prize, joining laureates such as Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
Samar formed Shuhada, a group focused on health care for Afghan women and also served as the UN special rapporteur to Sudan. After more than a decade in exile, she returned to Afghanistan in 2002 and was appointed Women's Affairs Minister in Hamid Karzai's transitional administration.
Samar, 53, is the "top pick," said Kristian Berg Harpviken, head of the Oslo-based institute, which ranks potential winners.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the United Nation's Security Council Resolution 1325 on women, peace and security and "it's very likely the committee would like to use the opportunity to mark the situation of women in war, the whole gender issue related to conflict," Berg Harpviken said in a telephone interview.

U.S. President Obama expected to visit Korea April 25-26Updated: 2014-04-04 03:36:47 KST
U.S. President Barack Obama is expected to visit Korea for two days from April 25th to the 26th.
During his fourth visit to Seoul as U.S. president, Obama will reaffirm the Seoul-Washington alliance and assess the implementation of the two-year-old Korea-U.S. free trade agreement with President Park Geun-hye.
Amid Pyongyang's recent firing of missiles and its threat of a new form of nuclear test, North Korea-related security issues will likely dominate talks between the two leaders.
Ahead of President Obama's trip, top nuclear envoys from South Korea, the U.S. and Japan will meet in Washington next week.
The meeting is a follow-up to President Park's summit with her U.S. and Japanese counterparts on the sidelines of last week's Nuclear Security Summit in The Hague.
Before coming to Korea, President Obama will make a state visit to Japan starting on the 23rd.
Sources in Washington say the U.S. has added a day to the president's Tokyo itinerary, after Japan said two days wouldn't be enough to make Obama's state visit more meaningful.
The last U.S. president to make a state visit to Japan was Bill Clinton in 1996.
The Washington-Tokyo alliance and their negotiations for a 12-member Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade deal are likely to come up during President Obama's talks with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
But there's a greater attention towards how Obama will address relations between Washington's two main Asian allies, strained from Japan's denials of its imperialistic aggressions.
The U.S. president will also visit the Philippines and Malaysia.

Born: July 7, 1976
Orlando le Fleming Biography Orlando le Fleming was born in Birmingham, England on July 7,1976. Both of his parents are professional musicians; his mother a cellist and his father a composer. His first ambition was to become a professional cricketer, an aim that was realized when he played for five years in the minor counties. After receiving a place at London's Royal Academy of Music, Orlando decided to give up cricket and pursue his love of music.
While based in London, he quickly established himself as one of the UK's most prominent bass players touring and recording with Jason Rebello, Julian Joseph, Iain Ballamy, Tommy Smith, Jean Toussaint and Guy Barker. With the advantage of being based in Europe, Orlando was also in demand to perform and tour with visiting U.S. musicians such as Bill Charlap, Art Farmer, George Coleman, Dave Liebman, Joey Calderazzo and most notably, Branford Marsalis....

A garden lovers' home for all seasons, with an extensive yet intimate garden set around a romantic house and ruins.
In the late 1800s Ludwig Messel bought the Nymans Estate in the Sussex High Weald to make a dream family house. Inspired by the wooded surroundings he created a garden with plants collected from around the world. Here this creative family entertained friends and family, enjoyed relaxing, playing and picnicking in the garden and woods. Today it is still a garden lovers' home - a place to relax all year round and enjoy a peaceful country garden.
The house was partially destroyed by fire in 1947 and the romantic ruins of a fairytale gothic mansion remain. We are one of the National Trust's most eco- friendly properties and we aim to inspire a more sustainable way of living.
There is a large shop and plant centre with our special collection of plants grown on site, a cafe offering a choice of seasonal food made by us, and a Grab & Go kiosk in the tea garden.
Every day there are guided walks and talks in the garden and woods, a small gallery in the house with changing exhibitions for every season, a secondhand bookshop, shop tastings and mobility tours of the garden and woods.
For children there are natural play trails, geocaching in the garden and woods, pick up and go activities and school holiday trails.
Dog owners: Dogs are welcome in the woodland only and must be kept on leads during the bird nesting season 1 March - 31 July.

Separatists in east Ukraine call on Putin for help, Kiev warns of force
LUHANSK, Ukraine
LUHANSK, Ukraine (Reuters) - Pro-Russian separatists reinforced barricades around the state security building in the eastern Ukrainian city of Luhansk on Wednesday and called on President Vladimir Putin for help after the government warned it could use force to restore order.
Protesters were also engaged in talks to ease the standoff, which Kiev has said could provide a pretext for a Russian invasion, and lawmakers from eastern Ukraine proposed an amnesty for protesters to defuse tension.
The former KGB headquarters is one of three government buildings seized this week in eastern Ukraine by protesters demanding regional referendums on independence from Kiev.
Tensions have risen in the mainly Russian-speaking east since the overthrow of Ukraine's Moscow-backed president and the installation of a new pro-European government.
"Of course we must ask Russia to take us in because I don't see an alternative," said a man dressed in camouflage who gave his name as Vasiliy and said he was the commandant of the building. "Putin help us!" he said.
In a news conference held inside the occupied building late on Wednesday, Valery Bolikov, who said he was a representative of headquarters of the Southern and Eastern Army, said talks with authorities had failed to yet bring an agreement.
"Talks are continuing there are a few issues which are being dealt with but they haven't come to their logical conclusion," he said in Ukraine's Security Services ornate conference hall.
While some protesters have championed the idea of joining Russia like Crimea, Bolikov said that their demands went no further than a referendum to vote whether to give Luhansk more autonomy as part of a federal structure in Ukraine.
"(We will leave the building) only after the fulfilment of our demands of the carrying out of a referendum on federalisation," he said.
Outside of the conference hall, masked men armed with kalashnikovs, pistols and guns lined the building's many corridors. Tensions around the seizure of the building rose after the protesters broke into the security service's arsenal.
One protesters put the arsenal at around 200-300 rifles.
Local police spokeswoman Tatyana Pogukai said that police were not taking any action while negotiations were ongoing.
"We don't want any violence. No one needs any death or blood," she said over the telephone.
Protesters in Donetsk, to the south, remain in control of the main regional authority building, but authorities have ended the occupation in the city of Kharkiv.
"A resolution to this crisis will be found within the next 48 hours," Interior Minister Arsen Avakov told reporters in the capital Kiev.
"For those who want dialogue, we propose talks and a political solution. For the minority who want conflict they will get a forceful answer from the Ukrainian authorities," he said.
Ukraine's state security service said that 50 people had left the building in Luhansk overnight. Protesters confirmed that some had left.
"Those who left were not ready to stay and fight," said Vasiliy, who said his "soldiers" would fight on until a referendum on independence from Kiev was held.
Occupation leaders said those who stayed behind were trained soldiers who had fought in Chechnya and Afghanistan.
"We won't be the first ones to fire a shot but we will defend ourselves," said Pavel Strupchevsky.
Protesters insist that they have no help from Russia and that no Russians are among their ranks, but Ukraine's government says the actions are part of a Russian-led plan to dismember the country, a charge Moscow denies.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry accused Russian agents and special forces on Tuesday of stirring up separatist unrest and said Moscow could be trying to prepare for military action as it had in Crimea.
Russia denied the accusations on Wednesday and dismissed concerns over a troop build-up near the border with Ukraine in what has become the worst East-West crisis since the end of the Cold War in 1991.
"Russia has stated many times that it is not carrying out any unusual or unplanned activity on its territory near the border with Ukraine that would be of military significance," the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
A lawmaker from the most popular political party in the east, the Party of Regions, on Wednesday said he planned to ask parliament to amnesty the protesters, following the success of a similar move to reduce tension in Kiev two months ago.
"The situation is so tense and complex that one stray word might cause a flare-up," said Oleksandr Yefremov. "To prevent people suffering ... we are proposing a draft law on an amnesty."

However ethnic Ukrainians are the predominant ethnic grouping in each of these regions 56.9% and 58% respectively.
In all other eastern and southern regions of Ukraine, Ukrainian is the native and indigenous language of the majority of the population of each of these as follows:
Dnipropetrovsk: 93.1% ethnically Ukrainian, (Native Language use: 67% UKR : 32% RUS)
Kharkiv: 70.7% ethnically Ukrainian, (Native Language use: 53.8% UKR : 44.3% RUS)
Kherson 82% ethnically Ukrainian, (Native Language use: 73.2% UKR : 24.9% RUS)
Mykolayiv 81.9% ethnically Ukrainian, ( Native language use: 69.2% UKR : 29.3% RUS)
Odessa 62.8% ethnically Ukrainian, (Native language use: 46.3% UKR : 41.9% RUS)
Zaporizhzhia 70.8% ethnically Ukrainian, (Native language use: 50.2% UKR : 48.2% RUS)
Thus with the exception of Donetsk and Luhansk regions most people in the east and south of the country have Ukrainian as their primary language.
In Kiev all we saw masked men-whom I would call terrorists, but in Donestk, Kharkiv and other regions ordinary population standing up to fascists imported from the EU and supported and funded by the US. They need support but not a corrupt pathetic articles likes yours- revolting example of so called journalism!

After apprenticing with master framers in Yorkshire and London, Heba Elbanna opened Tresorie, where she designs custom frames that archive cherished memories and reflect her clients' unique tastes. Drawing on nine years of French matting experience, she carefully applies transparent watercolor washes and hand-inked lines around matted works of art. This technique, which first arose in the late 18th century, was nearly quelled by the Industrial Revolution, a time of great societal change when the rise of precise machinery made hands obsolete. Fortunately, 20th-century artists revived the French matting technique, and today Heba often incorporates the classic designs into the framing of modern art pieces as well as contemporary photographs.
When she isn't painting delicate lines, Heba and her staff source frames from Larsen-Juhl and Roma Moulding, which come in styles ranging from slim and minimalistic to wide and ornate. Staffers can protect photographs and prints with simple, clear glass as well as museum quality, UV-resistant glass that reduces glare from grouchy portraits. In addition to cutting single, double, and multi-windowed mats, Heba also displays three-dimensional pieces—such as antique pipes and fans—inside specially designed frames. Customers can view Heba's handiwork on her online gallery and peruse samples of her French matting.
With sunlight cascading across their studio's hardwood floors and crystal chandeliers, Danielle Buccellato and her staff lead more than 75 group classes every week, specializing in Pilates Mat, Xtend Barre, and group Apparatus training. Mixed in among those weekly classes is Renaissance Pilates' popular four-week beginner program. During this program, students build strength and a full understanding of Pilates principles across eight sessions, so they are prepared to move onto regular classes and more advanced sessions. The studio's other offerings map out different, but equally effective, routes toward fitness, including Xtend Barre—a toning workout that incorporates a ballet bar, handheld weights, and yoga straps. In addition to a variety of program options, Renaissance Pilates also offers the new Extend Barre Stick classes to help chisel bodies.
Sunlight has barely begun to creep up the sidewalk when Coach David throws open the doors to his 2,500-square-foot facility, surveying the kettlebells, sand bags, and stretch bands arrayed within. He conducts 35-minute boot camps in this energetic atmosphere, drawing inspiration from the many success stories told by his students. For six years, David has worked as a certified personal trainer, and in that time, he's learned to customize his fitness routines on the spot, tailoring moves to each guest's fitness level and goals. He sends students racing through calisthenics and cardio endurance exercises, changing the routine for every class to keep minds and bodies active and the ever-watching kettlebell deities appeased. To complement the intense boot camps, he also invites students to 50-minute Vinyasa yoga classes that link breathing and movements in workouts that improve flexibility.
Winner of more than 100 mixed-martial-arts competitions, Tiger Schulmann shares his pride and love for fighting and self-defense with both adults and children in gyms across five states. From first-time grapplers to expert muay thai fighters, students of all fitness and experience levels are welcome to dive into a class at Schulmann's. At more than 47 locations, adults can take classes in kickboxing, MMA, and jujitsu—the last of which instills students with the skill and confidence to take down opponents of any size, strength, or telekinetic ability. Kids, meanwhile, can learn martial arts for fun, or gain useful experience in bully prevention; the kids' classes help victims immediately identify and safely diffuse situations when pitted against an aggressor.
New York Sports Clubs, part of Town Sports International's network of fitness loci, opens up a number of equipment-stocked facilities across New York to exercisers. Strength-training gear, such as circuit machines, free weights, and medicine balls, molds muscles into chiseled depictions of physical might. Sessions on cardio machines, ranging from treadmills and ellipticals to upright and recumbent stationary bicycles, inspire burnt calories to pack up and move to cooler climates. Each club offers a schedule of group classes that draws from more than 100 fitness styles, including Pilates, yoga, and boxing, ensuring that no member has to jazzercise without a spotter. Each location rewards exercisers for sweating in its vicinity with special features such as babysitting, saunas, and steam rooms.
For more than 25 years, EDGE training facilities have churned out wrestling champions at state, collegiate, and professional levels?including competitors in the UFC and Olympics. Today, EDGE Hoboken carries on that proud tradition, but with a different kind of training: mixed martial arts. Inside the facility, a team of MMA experts leads programs in a number of disciplines, including Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai kickboxing, and submission grappling. EDGE Hoboken's facility features 1,400 square feet of wrestling mats, plus fully padded walls and an elevated lounge area where spectators can marvel at the advanced students who have already sprouted third and fourth arms.

My nephew loved this."

Yarmouth & Acadian Shores Region
You know what they say…when you come to a fork in the road, take it. Yarmouth lies at the intersection of two founding cultures in Nova Scotia, and the seaport is a launching point for travels into French-speaking Acadie and English-speaking communities founded by settlers known as the Planters.
But before you head off, explore Yarmouth, home to the biggest fishing fleet in Atlantic Canada. Its hundreds of sea captain homes built between 1850 and 1900 stand as reminders of the wealth the ocean has long offered to those tough enough to ply the waters. And the best place to ponder that sea is the Cape Forchu lightstation – the views, picnic grounds and hiking trails earning it distinction as one of Canada's greatest public spaces.
Don't Miss Experiences
- Experience 350 years of Acadian Culture, Le Village historique de la Nouvelle Ecosse
- Named "Canada's Greatest Public Space" in 2012, visit Cape Forchu Light station for the view and seaside walking trails
- Forage for delicacies in the forest with a naturalist and cook your bounty at Trout Point Lodge
- Visit our living wharfs for a hands-on opportunity to experience the tools & skills of our fishery and hear tall tales from our fisherman
- Get your hands in the sand and dig for clams with locals at Belliveau Cove
- Get the feel of a working fishing dock inside the W. Laurence Sweeney Fisheries Museum
- Immerse yourself in Acadian culture and food at Rendez-vous de la Baie Visitor Centre
Get to know the Yarmouth & Acadian Shore
The Acadian shore is home to communities with roots over 400 years deep, tiny villages in the shadows of lofty churches such as the Musée Église Sainte-Marie, the largest wooden church in North America. Though history hasn't always been kind to them – the Acadians were caught between France and England as they fought for control over Atlantic Canada – it's always interesting.
Their identity is still very strong, and you can marinate yourself in the culture, traditions…and food. Rappie pie is a particularly unique dish, a traditional meal made from grated potatoes, meat and onions, sometimes topped with molasses.
And at the end your day, burn off a few calories by dancing at an informal party called a 'tyme'.

Treasury said Tempbank, based in Moscow, has provided millions of dollars in cash and has helped facilitate financial services to the Syrian government.
Throughout the crisis in Syria, Russia has been in Assad's corner, while the U.S. has supported the opposition.
Sanctions also were slapped on the bank's senior executive, Mikhail Gagloev, who the U.S. claims has personally traveled to the Syrian capital of Damascus to make deals with Assad's government.
"In one instance, Tempbank arranged to deliver millions of dollars in cash to Vnukovo Airport in Moscow for pick-up by cash couriers working for the Central Bank of Syria," the department said in a statement. "In addition to its close cooperation with the Central Bank of Syria, Tempbank has facilitated deals and provided financial services to SYTROL, a Syrian state oil company sanctioned by the United States and the European Union."
David Cohen, undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, said the action builds on the Treasury Department's ongoing effort to apply economic pressure on the Syrian government by "choking off access to the international financial system."
"We are committed to deterring those who contribute to violence and instability in Syria and will continue to aggressively target individuals and entities supporting the Assad regime," Cohen said.
Two Syrian refining businesses, Banias Refinery Co. and Homs Refinery Co., also were placed on the U.S. sanctions list.
Brig Gen. Bassam al-Hassan, an adviser to Assad, was among the Syrian officials sanctioned. Al-Hassan is Assad's representative to Syria's government agency responsible for developing and producing nonconventional weapons and missiles, the department said. An Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack near Damascus that killed hundreds of people was blamed on Assad's government and brought the United States to the brink of military intervention in Syria. Damascus denied involvement.
The five other Syrian officials sanctioned were: Hussein Arnous, minister of public works; Ahmad al-Qadri, minister of agriculture; Ismael Ismael, minister of finance; Kinda al-Shammat, minister of social affairs and a former Syrian representative to the U.N. Development Fund; and Hassan Hijazi, minister of labor.
To date, the United States has imposed sanctions on nearly 200 individuals and entities since the onset of unrest in Syria, including the government of Syria, its central bank, and affiliated oil companies.
More than 150,000 people have been killed in clashes between rebels and forces loyal to Assad, with millions of others displaced by the war.
