PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give feedback and thoughts, no matter how little, i greatly appreciate it! Upvote or downvote, but please explain why! Thank you Andrey is about the height of Xin Zhao, as muscular or more muscular than Dr. Mundo, and caucasian. He attacks with his fists, with his right hand having a ring (this is his hitting hand for the attack animation). Andrey the Angry Giant Health: 6/10 Spells: 2/10 Attack: 8/10 Difficulty: 6/10 Role: Melee DPS/ slight support. Stats: HP: 563 [+79/lvl (1906)] MP: 245 [+26/lvl (687)] Mov SPD: 310 Armor: 17 [+2/lvl (51)] Magic Res: 30 Atk Dmg: 61 [+2.5/lvl (103)] Atk Spd: .6 [+.03/lvl (1.11)] Atk Range: 350 HP Regen: 1.5 [.12/lvl (3.54)] MP Regen: 1.3 [ +.11/lvl (3.17)] Recommended items: Doran's Ring Boots of Swiftness Sword of the Occult Phantom Dancer Guardian Angel Infinity Edge Doran's Ring is a good starter considering his mana hunger early in the game, allowing you to use your skills more than you normally could. This can be swapped out with a Doran's Blade for the health and the little extra damage to the stun that might mean a kill. Andrey was meant to tower dive and has a movement speed buff, he was meant for it! The stats that make you do the real damage rely on AD, so while Occult might be bad because of snowball, it does give lots of AD. While AP is a viable option for his stun, his other 2 stats gain nothing. GA is for low survivability, Phantom's is for movement speed (and you already have some damage from your skills). Infinity Edge just finishes it up nicely. Abilites: Passive: Oblivion: Andrey recieves 10% decreased damage from turrets for 5 seconds if he hits an enemy champion. It stacks up to 3 times. When Andrey has no Terminal Animosity available for use the 10% increased damage goes up to 20%. Quite obvious, makes you an excellent tower diver... at level 6. If you activate your Terminal Animosity, stun, Terminal Animosity, and hit them 3 times, youve got 60% decreased turret damage! They have also been stunned and probly very close to dead, allowing for an easy kill. Overwhelm (Q): Enemy champions within an AoE (range 450) get stunned for 1/1/1/1/1 second and take 80/140/180/240/300 magic damage (2 AP:1 dmg, 1AD:1 dmg) from Andrey's rage. 22/19/16/13/10 second CD. With ultimate, stuns for 2 seconds and increases damage Andrey does to stunned champions by 25% for 10 seconds. Good for 1v1 fights, being in the thick of a teamfight, getting first blood, and farming minions. An overall great skill but not overpowered because of 1 second. Think, Sion's is 1.5 seconds at max while Andrey's is one, Sion's does 300 damage every 8 while Andrey does it every 10, BUT Andrey's is an AoE, albeit a small one. Potential(W): [Toggle] Increases Andrey's move speed by 10/15/25/35/50, Attack damage by 10/15/20/25/30, Attack speed by 5/7/10/12/15%. Every 20 AD Andrey increases each stat by 1. Costs 60 mana per second. No cooldown. With ultimate, Mana per second costs 40 and 15% lifesteal is added for 5 seconds. If you have low hp and want to stay in lane a bit longer, use a Terminal Animosity and get that sweet lifesteal for a few seconds. With the extra AD and AS it just might be what you need for a teamfight, a 1v1, or staying in a lane. While it is a toggle, its very mana draining so you must be careful to use it. Desolation (E): [Toggle] Andrey feels anger for the death's of his comrades, and has grief over there suffering. He lends them his strength, giving allied champions around Andrey all of their stats increased by 10/15/20/20/25% of Andrey's stats. Every 20AD Andrey increases stats by 1%. With ultimate, allies receive 50% of Andrey's stats for 5 seconds. Every 20AD for 1% still applies. If your teammate is having a wee bit of trouble than this is good for helping them escape. While it DOES NOT give movement speed, attack range, health, or mana, it gives everything else. Helpful in teamfights when that extra damage greatly influences it in your favor. Terminal Animosity. (R): Adds a special effect to each of Andrey's skills, similar to Karma's Mantra. Unlocked at level 6. Andreys receives an ultimate use every 30 seconds or every kill/assist. Can hold up to 2 uses at one time. Andrey's skills no doubt be good but not great if not for this. I felt like if i made them too strong then it would be any other OP champ suggestion, but and UP character wouldn't even be considered. This creates a balance between a good and great skill. Backstory: Andrey the Ukrainian Scumbag was born in a dinky little rat piss hole called Kyev, quite well known around Russia for being a "ghetto" and a trash town....obviously you've got to have some smarts and muscle to live in this kind of place. Smarts and muscles which Andrey the Giant just so happened to have. Too bad for this little Kyev prodigy, he got tired of all the ammonia, rat piss, and dog ****, so he moved to Canada (fantastic). From here its all downhill. His abusive mom constantly yelled at him to do this and that and yadda yadda, Da mom, Da mom! The only way he could even possibly save himself from the abusiveness of his mother was to work out and isolate himself from those that wished to comfort him. Those that had lived near Andrey put up with him and his mother's yelling, breaking of things, and various other disutrbances, but 3 days was sure enough for them! Everyone in all of the city got completely tired of his destruction, resulting in him being screwed over beyond belief. Before the final decisive moment, the League of Legends intervened to stop him from dieing. He has now been taken into the League to vent his anger on their behalf. Quotes: Upon selection: WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME! Movement: Step 1, 2... Mundo? He's weak... Just shut it! Attacking: This kid's dead! Aight...aight... Upon death: NO! WHAT?! WAAAAAAAAAAAAH Taunt: Haha! You sound like a baby.. Joke: I arm wrestled Chuck Norris once.
Oh my god...this is my kind of champion +1
BUMP FOR GREAT JUSTICE! please comment on this guys...
Decaying Fetus
Lol... apply the moves to a real champ and it would maybe be quite viable actually.
Haha well yes, this was me making fun of my friend and his raging in game, but i actually applied some serious thought when i was making him. If, and i very much doubt this, a red comments or this gets popular, im changing the name, backstory, and skill names+descriptions...unless people like them. Thanks for looking at it anyways

Take it serious, your passive is perfect for someone who loves to rush into the turrents and kill and suicide like me. Well, your E and R skill is not yet finished(stats for previous levels), really like its name though it really sounds like a joke. But true enough I don't really know how your ulti(R) works, stacks? Finally, E and R looks more like a ulti then a common skill. After I type all these words, I suddenly felt stupid, but never mind, here are my feed backs. Some advertisement: My full list of champion: http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board...d.php?t=721087
bump :3 Made HUGE changes from before, everything revamped.

We've been fans of William Church Winery since March, 2008, when our wine-expert nephew, Mathew, came to visit us with a bottle of their 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon.
It was awesome, so we made a point to visit their tasting room in Woodinville's winery warehouse district — William Church was one of the eight original warehouse wineries.
Unfortunately, this was not an easy feat at the time because they were only open on Saturdays.
But that situation didn't last long; soon the tasting room was open more frequently, and then three years later, in July 2011, William Church opened their second tasting room in Woodinville's Hollywood Schoolhouse wine area.
Fast forward to today, and we're extremely happy to say that William Church Winery is one of Washington state's success stories.
We recently visited their Schoolhouse tasting room, which is open every day (and until 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays), and it was thriving; packed with people cheerfully drinking some amazing juice.
This was the first time in a couple of years that we tasted their entire lineup, and wow! Winemaker (and co-owner) Rod Balsley has always produced quality wines, but these days, that quality has risen to a new level.
Rod currently produces seven award-winning wines: Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Malbec, Viognier and three blends: 2Spires, Bishop's Blend and Sur La Mer.
We love all of them because they are solid, stand-alone sippers and also phenomenal when paired well with food.
2013 Viognier: This flagship wine has always been one of Washington state's best examples of Viognier. Somehow, this Viognier is both rich and fresh, and understandably named one of Seattle Metropolitan's Top Washington Wines Under $25.
2012 Cabernet Sauvignon: We brought this wine home to pair with a good meal — perhaps a juicy steak or a savory roast over the holidays. As mentioned, we've loved this classic Cab Sauv since the 2005 vintage, and it just keeps getting better and better.
2012 Syrah: Another perennial favorite, this Syrah is rich and full-bodied, and tastes the way a good Syrah should: balanced, with smoke and spice, and simply delicious. We first wrote about the 2006 Syrah, which was named in the Top 100 wines in Seattle Metropolitan.
2011 2Spires: William Church was one of the first Washington wineries to produce a blend of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon (two wines=two spires). In the 2011 vintage, the blend is 63% Syrah and 37% Cab. Think big, bold and beautiful, and a double-gold winner at the Seattle Wine Awards.
2012 Bishop's Blend: This full-bodied, robust wine blends 55% Cab Sauv, 20% Merlot, 15% Malbec and 10% Petit Verdot. It's a steal at $25.
2011 Sur La Mer: This Merlot-based wine has all five Bordeaux varietals in the blend. A newer wine in the lineup — 2007 was the first vintage of this classic blend — Sur La Mer is named after the seaport city in France where co-owner Leslie Balsley was born.
We encourage you to try some or all of these wines, and you'll understand why they are award-winning. They also make great gifts for the wine enthusiasts in your life, for the hostess at your holiday parties or to serve guests in your home.
It's Not Too Late For Summer Sippers! Five Whites for $16-$25
Who says summer is over with Labour Day? No way – there is still a month left for summer sippers on the deck in Washington state!
Here are five white Washington state wines to enjoy in the weeks ahead.
2012 Wysling Band of Sisters, Parejas Cellars: $16
This refreshing white wine "bands" together a unique blend of 55% Marsanne, 34% Roussanne and 11% Grenache Blanc. Frankly, I wasn't sure if we'd like it because our choice in whites tends to favor Sauvignon Blancs and Viogniers. But this dry white was a pleasant surprise and is well worth the price point. According to the tasting notes: "Band of Sisters has "exotic & refreshing perfumed aromas of spiced herbal tea, spring blossoms, Asian pears, Greengages, and honeysuckle." Interestingly, we experienced grapefruit, which is one of the reasons we enjoyed it so much. We also appreciated its full body – this wine drinks well alone or with food. (Note: We were sent this wine to sample; as stated in our sample policy, we accept free samples with the understanding that we only write about wine that we like.)
2012 Feral Sauvignon Blanc, Efeste: $20; 2012 Sauvignon Blanc, JM Cellars: $25
2012 Efeste Feral follows in the footsteps of previous award-winning vintages by a different winemaker. Brennon Leighton created Feral using indigenous, wild yeast, which showcases the crisp, clean minerality pure to this varietal. Current winemaker Peter Devison continued this style, crafting another winner for Efeste. From the tasting notes: "On the palate lemon, yellow grapefruit, and sugarcane flavors are supported by ripe phenolics and gooseberry-like acidity, which is persistent and mouthwatering. The finish is long and elegant. This wine demands shellfish."
2012 JM Cellars Sauv Blanc is another stellar white from winemaker John Bigelow. We have enjoyed several bottles of this beauty on our deck throughout the summer and saved one for the perfect warm September evening ahead. It is thoroughly refreshing alone or paired with prawns or some excellent cheese. From the tasting notes: "We ferment the juice in stainless steel tanks to show off beautiful tropical fruit aromas and flavors found in Klipsun Sauvignon Blanc. Crisp and dry, our Sauvignon Blanc pairs perfectly with a summer picnic."
A few years ago, these two Washington Sauvignon Blancs, along with one from Goosecross in Napa Valley, brought us back to loving white wine in the summer after a decade of strictly reds.
2012 Viognier, Alexandria Nicole Cellars: $20; 2012 Viognier, William Church Winery: $23
Jarrod Boyle, ANC's winemaker and co-owner, describes his 2012 Alexandria Nicole Viognier as a "golden gem," and we couldn't agree more. The lavender, peach and citrus aromas are gorgeously summer. This Viognier has generated numerous accolades with its textured mouth-feel and luscious flavors. We found it pairs well with grilled seafood or some chicken dishes. From the tasting notes: "Beautifully balanced it lingers with the richness of apricot and orange blossom, with a lively mouth feel of crisp granny smith apple and a touch of pear on the finish. A clean and refreshing wine that pairs well with food or a summertime patio."
William Church Viognier is known as the winery's signature, winning many awards over the years. Winemaker Rod Balsley recommends pairing this fragrant, lush wine with creamy cheeses or foods with a dash of asian spice. We've also appreciated it without food. From the tasting notes: "Our flagship Viognier has beautiful aromatics of fresh pear and honeysuckle. What follows are rich peach flavors and citrus with enough acidity to keep the wine fresh and lively."
So raise a glass of refreshing Washington wine to Summer 2013 – and its continuation into September.
March is Washington Wine Month
In our family, every month is Washington Wine Month, but the official celebration occurs in this state every March.
That's when you will find great deals at wineries, wine shops, big grocery stores and many restaurants. For example, some promotions include discounts on full or half cases of Washington state wine, purchase discounts off any bottle or Washington wine or in-store free wine tastings.
For specifics, have a look at the Washington Wine Month Calendar.
One that caught our eye is a 20%-off promotion for Northwest Totem Cellars at Wine World on March 16th. And thanks Wine World, for quoting this blog in your promotion!
As for us, we celebrate by telling anyone who will listen about the great juice Washington state wineries produce.
Whether you like big, bold reds (like us), crispy Sauvignon Blanc, rich Viognier or buttery Chardonnay, you can find the best right in your own backyard, so to speak, from Red Mountain, Yakima Valley, Tri-Cities, Walla Walla, Cascade Valley, Woodinville and many more.
We recently tasted these Washington wine gems:
- 2006 The Woodhouse Wine Estates Dussek Cabernet Sauvignon
- 2007 Long Shadows "Feather" Cabernet Sauvignon
- 2007 Va Piano Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
- 2008 Cooper Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
- 2008 Northwest Totem Cellars Cabernet Franc
- 2009 Efeste "Big Papa" Cabernet Sauvignon
- 2009 Forgeron Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon
- 2009 L'Ecole 41 Cabernet Sauvignon
- 2009 Fidelitas Cabernet Franc
- 2009 Barrage Cellars "Outcast" Cabernet Franc
- 2009 William Church Cabernet Sauvignon
- 2010 Alexandria Nicole Cellars "Wild One" Cabernet Franc
- 2010 Obelisco Electrum Cabernet
- 2010 Gilbert Cellars Cabernet Franc
Do you see a trend here? We heart Cabs!
And these are just some of the amazing wines you can find from Washington state. We encourage you to do so!
Happy Washington Wine Month!
A Wonderful Week of Wine
What a week it's been. A very busy time. But a wonderful week of wine, at that.
Those who follow Write for Wine on Facebook might have noticed near-daily updates on what's been in our glass this week.
In case you missed it, here is the list.
- 09 Quarry Butte from Alexandria Nicole Cellars
- 08 Jennifer's Syrah from William Church Winery
- 09 Outcast Cabernet Franc from Barrage Cellars
- 09 In the Rocks from Reynvaan Family Vineyards
We recommend some of these wines for special occasions and some, well, just because.
Hopefully next week, I'll have more time to write a longer post about some new wines we've tasted recently.
In the meantime, if you're on Facebook, please stop by the Write for Wine page and say hi. Or like it, if you wish!
Harvest Party
It's that time again – our favorite wine event of the year – the annual Harvest Party in the Vines, held by Alexandria Nicole Cellars at their Destiny Ridge Vineyard in Horse Heaven Hills in central Washington.
Let me tell you, Ali and Jarrod Boyle know how to throw a party! This is our fourth, and we just keep having more and more fun each year.
This event is so well planned – from the special hotel rate at the Marriott in Richland, to the party buses to take us on the 45-minute drive to the Estate vineyard, to the amazing "surf and turf" menu created by awesome chef Frank Magana. In addition, there's live music and harvest hoopla, including a skeet-shooting contest, wine balloon toss, grape stomping, barrel rolling and much more.
And let's not forget the incredible wines. ANC's Estate Vineyard, Destiny Ridge, contains 263 acres of planted vines with 23 varietals. Believe me, 23 varietals is huge in Washington state:
White Wines: Crawford Viognier, a2 Pinot Gris, Shepherds Mark southern Rhone white blend, Sauvignon Blanc, Late Harvest Riesling, Cabernet Franc Rosé.
Red Wines: Quarry Butte Red Table Wine, Gravity Merlot, Alderdale Cabernet Sauvignon, a2 Cabernet Sauvignon, Estate Syrah, Jet Black Syrah.
In addition, wine club members (like us) can also enjoy:
White Wines: Reserve Viognier, Roussanne, Marsanne.
Red Wines: Block 17 Syrah, Destiny Bordeaux Blend, Member's Only, Grenache, Mackay Duck Press Red, Lemberger, Malbec, Rock Star Red, Tempranillo, Mr. Big Petite Syrah, Primativo
We became wine club members in 2007, the same year I started this blog and when ANC first moved to Woodinville. Over the years, Ali and Jarrod became our good friends. But it all began with the wine.
If you love blends …
… like we love blends, then mark your calendar right now for the third annual – you guessed it – BLEND event on Sept. 16 at Seattle waterfront's Bell Harbor Conference Center.
We have not missed this event ever, because Bordeaux blends have been some of our favorite wines for years. I was asked to be a judge at this year's BLEND blind tasting, but it's during the day when I work at my "day job," unfortunately.
But thankfully we can attend the event, which not only showcases Washington's hottest blends, but also enticing gourmet food samples from some award-winning hotel restaurants.
Specifically, BLEND features more than 40 Washington wineries, barrel blending stations and international tasting stations, in addition to a "Bubble Lounge" with champagne, sparkling wines and cider and oysters.
While both of our palates favor Bordeaux-style blends of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot, others prefer southern Rhone-style blends of Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvedre.
Some of our favorites are unique-to-Washington blends of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, such as William Church 2008 2 Spires and Gorman 2009 Evil Twin. Unfortunately, neither will be at this event, but some of our other favorites, such as DiStefano 2007 Sogno (Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon) will be definite pours for us.
Some white blends – perfect summer sippers — will also be available, such as the award-winning Shepherd's Mark southern Rhone blend (Roussanne, Viognier and Marsanne) from Alexandria Nicole Cellar and Optu White Bordeaux blend (Sauvignon Blanc and Semillion) from Fidelitas.
For a full list of wineries pouring at BLEND, in addition to tickets, visit the BLEND website. Net proceeds from the $49-per-person admission will benefit the Washington Wine Industry Foundation.
We hope to see you there!
Goin' Glamping at Destiny Ridge
Glamour + Camping = Glamping – and that's what we're doing at Destiny Ridge Vineyard, where the estate wine begins for Alexandria Nicole Cellars.
A night under the stars — which, by the way, light up the sky in an extraordinary show that you'd never see in the city — in a vineyard that overlooks the Columbia River in central Washington. Gorgeous!
So what does glamourous camping really mean? A large canvas tent with a luxurious queen-size bed on a Persian carpet, a down duvet, towels, a French Press coffee pot, mugs, dishes, a mini-refrigerator, an air-conditioning unit and a space heater. And don't forget the enclosed, roofless shower, a propane barbecue on the deck, a propane fire pit to sit around a campfire and — of course — sip on award-winning Alexandria Nicole wines.
The tough choice is which wine to drink – perhaps the amazing 2009 Crawford Viognier during the warm days and the just-released rich and distinct Mr. Big Petite Sirah in the cooler evening. Or maybe the perennial favorite Quarry Butte? Or the refreshing Sauvignon Blanc? Or — well, here's the list – you decide!
By day or by night, the views are spectacular.
No mobile phone. No laptop.
Goin' glamping!
Second Tasting Room for William Church Winery
Regular readers know that we have long been fans of William Church Winery, and its owners Rod and Leslie Balsley.
I first wrote about William Church 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon in March 2008. Since then, I've frequently written about Rod, Leslie and assistant winemaker, Marcus Rafanelli, and raved about many of their wines, from Bishop's Blend to Two Spires to Sur La Mer, and from Viognier to Malbec to Syrah.
So you can imagine our delight to hear that William Church is opening a second tasting room on July 16. Now we – and you – can enjoy William Church wines in the Hollywood School area of Woodinville, in addition to their existing location in the wine warehouse district.
The grand opening of the new tasting room — located right next to Purple Cafe — is from noon to 6 p.m. on July 16. And, in addition to Leslie, Rod and Marcus, another good friend has joined the wonderful William Church team – Cheryl Cardwell is the new tasting room manager. How cool is that?
We will definitely be there to celebrate with all of them – and we hope to see you there too.
Happy Canada Day, Happy 4th of July!
What a great weekend – Friday is Canada Day and Monday is the Fourth of July! And the weather is sunny, which means wine on the deck and BBQ'ing.
First, Dave and I wish all our Canadian family and friends a Happy Canada Day today. Tonight, we shall sip on both white and red wine (the colour of the flag) in your honour.
Then on Monday, we wish all our American family and friends a wonderful Fourth of July. In your honor, we plan to start with white wine on the deck, moving to a robust red later with some blue steak (the color of the flag).
What wines will you be drinking this holiday weekend on both sides of the border? Sauv Blanc, Pinot Gris, Viognier, Marsanne, Riesling, Chard? Cabernet, Cab Franc, Syrah, Merlot, Malbec, Zinfandel, Primitivo, Counoise or perhaps a nice Bordeaux blend? Let us know in the comments below.
We hope your holiday is wonderful and safe.
Margot & Dave

Walking Tour
February Walking Tour - Greenhouses and the Orangery
By Nick Snakenberg, Curator Orchids/Greenhouse
The Gardens' Orchid Showcase runs through February 23 and is a great time to enjoy the display of orchid flowers throughout Marnie's Pavilion and the Orangery. It's also a good opportunity to look a bit deeper into the greenhouses behind the displays and see what other treasures are in the collections of Denver Botanic Gardens.
As you leave Marnie's Pavilion and enter the Orangery, the first greenhouse you can look into contains plants from our tropical collections that prefer warm and humid conditions. Of special interest are the many species of Nepenthes, or tropical pitcher plants that can be seen growing in hanging baskets. Some people confuse the ornate pitchers as flowers, but if you look closely, you will see that the pitchers are all produced at the tips of the leaves. The pitchers are actually modified leaves - not flowers. The pitchers contain fluid produced by the plant and when insects enter the pitchers, they drown in the fluid and are slowly digested by the plant. Some species produce pitchers large enough to trap rats and other rodents.
Another showy plant in this first greenhouse is Anthurium scherzerianum (looking into the greenhouse, it is just left of center). There are hundreds of species of Anthuriums throughout the tropics but only a few produce colorful flowers. Anthurium scherzerianum is native to Costa Rica and is sometimes called the pig-tailed anthurium. It's easy to see how it got its common name.
The second greenhouse you can look into from the orangery contains orchids that prefer very warm temperatures. Blooming orchids are rotated into the window for viewing year round but there is currently a stunning display of one species in particular - Laelia anceps. There are many color forms of this Mexican species and they are all in glorious bloom for the next several weeks.
As you continue westward through the Orangery, the next greenhouse contains tropical plants that prefer high light and slightly drier conditions than most of our other tropical plants. Don't miss the oddly shaped Dioscorea elephantipes or elephant's foot yam. Dioscorea elephantipes is a deciduous climber (look directly above you and you'll notice how it has climbed the greenhouse glass and crept through into the Orangery). The tuberous stem can grow to six or more feet across and contains saponins - chemical compounds from which steroidal drugs can be developed. The tubers are edible but require processing to remove toxins.
Also in this greenhouse is a specimen of Wollemia nobilis or Wollemi pine. Long thought extinct, this living fossil was only discovered about 20 years ago in remote mountain valleys west of Sydney, Australia. There are only about 100 specimens known in the wild and their location is a closely kept secret. As part of the conservation efforts, thousands of plants have been commercially propagated to help remove the temptation for collectors to search for the wild population and collect specimens illegally.
Continuing to the west, the next greenhouse contains more orchids. This greenhouse is kept at slightly lower temperatures than the other orchid greenhouse. Again, plants are continuously rotated to the windows for display. Of particular interest at this time of year are the many color forms of Dendrobium nobile from Southern China.
The last two greenhouses are used for production of all types of plants for use at Denver Botanic Gardens. There is a continuous stream of plant material being produced for addition to our permanent collections, annuals for summer displays, potted plants for temporary exhibits in the Orangery and thousands of plants for our Spring Plant Sale. During the winter months, there are also a number of specimens from our bonsai collection on display in these greenhouses.
The Orangery is one of my favorite spots to spend a cold winter afternoon and having so many interesting distractions makes it all the better. We hope you'll come spend some time enjoying a break from the cold!

Higher Education Webinars
A blog from the Center for International Higher Education
November 22, 2010 - 4:15pm
On November 7, 2010, 3.3 million Brazilian secondary school graduates, hoping for a place in a university, took the National Assessment of Secondary Education (ENEM), a two-day examination marathon covering the humanities, natural sciences, language and mathematics. The next day, it appeared that in some places the answer sheets had not been printed correctly, leading to errors in test correction. A few days later, a federal judge suspended the exam, and ordered the Ministry of Education to do it over.

A few of the world's research universities have established Institutes of Advanced Study—small, usually interdisciplinary, centers that bring together scholars and researchers from different fields, sponsor fellowships, invite top academics from other universities to campus, and in general provide intellectual ferment to the sponsoring university.

English (rather than British) higher education is presently digesting the report by Lord Browne, the ex-boss of BP, called Securing a Sustainable Future for Higher Education, published on 12 October. Browne's report provided the context for the higher education component of the government's Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) announced on 20 October, which reduced the state budget for higher education by 40%, to be achieved in the period to 2014/15. This is, quite literally, an unprecedented cut in public support for higher education.

Doesn't everyone want to be world class? It projects such a nice aura! Recent publications -- first by Altbach & Balán and later by Salmi -- as well as a plethora of rankings help to focus attention on the world's most successful research universities and the characteristics that place them at the pinnacle of higher education. Institutions such at Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Oxford, Cambridge, Tsinghua, etc. are important producers and disseminators of knowledge as well as important incubators for marketable innovation.

A new government was inaugurated in Chile in March 2010. The incoming administration, headed by President Sebastián Piñera, is the first right-of-center government since the re-establishment of democracy in 1990. It arrives in the wake of four consecutive left-of-center governments held by the political parties grouped in the Concertación alliance, one of the most successful coalitions in Chile's political history, which remained 20 years in power.

Recent statistics concerning flows of students from China and Chinese views about migration raise some interesting questions concerning the present and future of Chinese higher education—particularly at the elite levels. Record numbers of Chinese continue to study abroad—270,000 are self-funded and (only) about 25 percent are returning to China, surprising in the context of the economic problems of the West and China's booming economy (figures come from Willy Lam of the Jamestown Foundation).
September 27, 2010 - 11:30am
As reported by the newspaper Folha de São Paulo[1] a recent study from the State University of Rio de Janeiro found that 70% of public higher education institutions in Brazil have adopted some kind of affirmative action program. Legislation is being discussed in Congress to make these programs mandatory, but the institutions are doing it voluntarily, or according to state legislation.

Capitol Visitor Center:
Results of Risk-based Analysis of Schedule and Cost
GAO-06-440T: Published: Feb 15, 2006. Publicly Released: Feb 15, 2006.

(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO testified before the Senate Subcommittee on the Legislative Branch, Committee on Appropriations to provide the results of a risk-based analysis of schedule and cost for the Capitol Visitor Center (CVC). Our remarks focused on (1) our assessment of the risks associated with the Architect of the Capitol's (AOC) December 2005 schedule, and our estimate of a time frame for opening the project to the public; and (2) the project's costs and funding, including the potential impact of scheduling issues that have arisen since the Subcommittee's November 16, 2005, hearing on the CVC project's schedule and cost.
Since the Subcommittee's November 16 CVC hearing, AOC and the CVC team have moved the project's construction forward and significantly revised the schedule, particularly for the base project. For example, they have reached agreement with AOC's Chief Fire Marshal on the schedule for testing the base project's life safety systems and have enhanced the manner in which the project's operations schedule is incorporated into the project's master schedule. In addition, they have reviewed and revised the schedule, postponing the opening dates for the CVC and the House and Senate expansion spaces by about 2 months each. Under AOC's revised schedule, the CVC would be open to the public in February 2007 with a temporary cap on visitor occupancy, and the expansion spaces would be open in April 2007. However, to allow for possible delays and start-up time for operations, AOC is proposing to open the CVC in April 2007 and the expansion spaces in May 2007, at which time the temporary cap on CVC occupancy would be lifted. We concur with AOC about the need for postponing the opening dates, but do not believe that AOC has scheduled enough time to complete several of the project's critical tasks and to address the problems, challenges, risks, and uncertainties that AOC and the CVC team are attempting to address. If they are successful in addressing these issues, we believe that the CVC can be opened to the public with the temporary cap on visitor occupancy in May 2007 and that the expansion spaces can be opened beginning in mid-August to early September 2007. Congress may be able to begin occupying the expansion spaces earlier if AOC implements a phased opening plan it is considering. However, if AOC experiences major problems completing construction, such as with installing interior stone or testing major building systems, the work could be finished even later than we have estimated. According to our current estimate, the total estimated cost to complete the entire CVC project is about $555 million without an allowance for risks and uncertainties. This estimate exceeds our November 16, 2005, estimate by about $12 million because we and AOC's construction management contractor are now projecting further delay-related costs. Changes in the project's design and scope have also been occurring, and more are likely. For example, the project's fire protection system has been evolving, and the system is now expected to cost more than previously estimated. To date, about $528 million has been provided for CVC construction. Thus, we now estimate that another $25.6 million will be needed to complete construction without an allowance for risks and uncertainties and taking into account funding from existing appropriations that AOC is planning to use. With an allowance for risks and uncertainties, we now estimate that the project could cost as much as about $584 million at completion, or about $25 million more than we estimated in November 2005. Estimated costs for the tunnel connecting the CVC with the Library of Congress are still within, but are now approaching, the $10 million statutorily mandated limit.

Yellow Duck in China
On the 11th birthday of my son, I created a "treasure," and decided to have a mini-game for his son. Here it is - exploitation King Penguin - the second largest (after the emperor) penguin species and one of the most brightly colored. Proud bearing, the combination of white, yellow and black plumage fully justify the title of king, assigned to these birds. One of the biggest in number of colonies king penguin is in the Bay of St Andrew on South Georgia Island. It was at St. Andrews Bay in the evening a warm spring day and this picture was taken. Chicks collected mngotysyachnye "nursery" patiently waiting for their parents, who appear every two weeks, something to feed them. Parents and children find each other by voice. Tamara Baikov ('64) and her husband, Yuri lived in a mud hut in the woods near the Belarusian village Yuhnovichi, on the border with Russia, about 20 years. They set out to torture happiness in a remote backwater of Belarus shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, hoping that their cases will go to the mountain, and temporary huts eventually turn into a big, beautiful house, which can be left to children. However, there is nothing more permanent than temporary - and while farming for 20 years has grown at least so that Tamara and Yuri are self-sufficient in food, the dream of the house were only dreams. In New Zealand, a dog, instead of chasing cars, learn to drive - at least this is true in mongrel Porter, Monty and Ginny. Three dogs, picked up on the street dog breeder Mark Vette (Mark Vette), already know how to turn the steering wheel, shift gears and turn the wheel of a car. What's surprising is that this project is not carried out within the framework of scientific research, and to promote the adaptation of stray dogs. Vette goal - to show that the dog is actually smart enough to drive a car and that they should keep the house. St. Petersburg authorities have decided to decorate 27 unpresentable Houses to artwork that would not only beautify the city, but also have established its residents and visitors a festive mood. Now the idea is being implemented ...

Al Pacino is a legendary rock star. Annette Bening is a hotel manager who gives him the brush-off. The two have a friendly — but decidedly rocky — first meeting in this exclusive clip from their new movie Danny Collins, opening March 20. Pacino plays the title character, who's been living off the glory (and royalties) of his greatest hits for decades. But then a collector finds a letter written to Danny by John Lennon in 1971 — a …

Our own Movies for Grownups best actress winner, Julianne Moore, gave the performance of a lifetime as a woman with early-onset Alzheimer's in Still Alice.

When longtime Laugh-In announcer Gary Owens died Feb. 13, one of the great voices of the past century was stilled. I was lucky enough to interview Gary in September 2009 about a new documentary featuring his friend Jonathan Winters. Instantly recognizable from his first "hello," Gary took me on a roller coaster ride of rapid-fire anecdotes, drawing on his 60-some-odd years in show business. From hosting The Gong Show to buying a Quincy Jones album for 11-year-old Michael Jackson, it's …

Seth MacFarlane Has a 'Back to the Future' DeLorean, His Own IMAX Theater, and Parties With Famed British Orchestras
Mark Davis/WireImageSeth MacFarlane, as you may have noticed, is starring in a movie. Not his voice, attached to an anthropomorphic teddy bear or an anthropomorphic dog or an anthropomorphic alien — his actual face, and body, and hands, and toes, and fingernails. Starring. In a movie.
Is this a good idea? To be kind, that's debatable. Was it inevitable? Not necessarily: So far, MacFarlane's undeniable successes have come only in nonphysical form; who out there was really checking for Seth to finally get in front of the camera? (And for his loyal masses craving more Mac action away from the small screen, Ted 2 was coming anyway.) But is it happening? Yes, it is happening. A Million Ways to Die in the West. Out May 30. Get into it.
In advance of the release, Variety has gone ahead and profiled the man. And I, in my official capacity as Grantland's Senior Seth MacFarlane Correspondent, have gone ahead and read it for you. So, what have we learned about this unique fellow, he who is beloved and hated with equal fervor throughout the land?
He's Got Stuff. A Lot of Stuff. A Lot of Crazy Rich Guy Stuff: All that Family Guy money (the franchise, including "T-shirts and plush toys [and] videogames and mobile apps," is now valued at over $1 billion) has not just been sitting around. He's got a "$1 million Imax theater in the basement of his gated Beverly Hills house," plus a Tesla, a replica of the DeLorean from Back to the Future, and a Bösendorfer piano (he plays it to relax).
He's got a huge new office space — three stories and 20,000 square feet in Beverly Hills, bought for around $11 million — but a perfectly reasonable reason why he needs it: "It became a necessity because [cowriters] Alec [Sulkin] and Wellesley [Wild] did a lot of writing at my house … and when writers leave your house, it's a mess." Ah, yes. One dude left a rumpled bag of Doritos Nacho Cheesier on his Bösendorfer, and Seth sensibly went and copped a Xanadu.
He parties — oh, yes, he parties — but he does so like a much more wizened multimillionaire? He had a "days-long" party for his 40th (sadly, no salacious details on this bacchanal available); he also once flew "Britain's famed John Wilson Orchestra" into L.A. And then there's this: "For a holiday party last year at his home, the Connecticut native had snow and ice trucked in to complete the winter-wonderland theme. As with all MacFarlane bashes, the gathering included entertainment by an industrial-strength (65-piece) orchestra."
Also, just inferring here, he's still got the spray-tan machine used to devastatingly cutting efficacy in his New Yorker profile. As he "jokes" with Variety, "If you are a pasty white guy, every once in a while [a spray tan is] recommended to you." Pretty sick New Yorker subtweet, bro.
He's Got Heretofore Unexplored Talents: He wrote a novelization of his A Million Ways script while on set in New Mexico, explaining, "The book was partially something to do on the weekends, because there's nothing to do in Santa Fe except meth, and I am too afraid to do meth." But he's also planning another novel, this one "from scratch." He wants to do a new Star Trek show. He also recently learned to play something called the melodica, and then played it on the score to his movie. It started when composer Joel McNeely challenged him, in confusing fashion: "If there's a hair on your ass, you'll be playing this on the score, so start practicing." And so, CONFIRMED: There is at least one hair on Seth MacFarlane's ass.
He's Got Some Parts of Him You Might Like: As Emily pointed out when his Cosmos reboot got rolling, the man is admirably pro–science education! He's even on the board of the National Academy of Sciences' Science & Entertainment Exchange, which apparently is a thing! When he was 8, "he had a weekly cartoon in the local paper … [which] followed the travails of Walter Crouton, a newscaster." Also: "The concept for A Million Ways began as an inside joke between MacFarlane, Sulkin and Wild … the trio found themselves riffing on the idea of how dull, depressing and dangerous it must have been to live in the Wild West." Inside jokes! You and your buddies probably have those too, huh? Pretty endearing, no?
And He's Also Got Maybe Just the Tiniest Bit of a Self-Awareness Problem:
"I like the fact that I haven't shoehorned myself into one M.O.," he tells Variety. "I like that 'Family Guy' and 'Cosmos' exist at the same time. It makes things fun."

Yesterday, La Repubblica newspaper in Italy received an unsolicited letter from a reader, and took the unprecedented step of running it in its entirety. The letter was from Pope Francis himself. Over the summer, the paper had run a series of editorials that "asked" the Catholic Church leader a number of hypothetical questions. The articles weren't actually addressed to the Pope directly; they were just written in the "open letter" style as a way to examine issues going on in society from the perspective of a religious skeptic. Well, the Pope decided to just go ahead and answer them.
The letter is a fascinating read, in which the Pope explains his personal story of coming to faith ("For me, faith began by meeting with Jesus. A personal meeting that touched my heart and gave a direction and a new meaning to my existence"), theology ("Jesus rose from the dead: not to be triumphant over those who refused him, but to certify that the love of God is stronger than death, the forgiveness of God is stronger than any sin") and his perspective on grace ("God's mercy has no limits if he who asks for mercy does so in contrition and with a sincere heart"). Here's to hoping the Pope will have time to add the role of editorial columnist to list of duties. (Also, despite a somewhat deceiving headline making the rounds, the nowhere in the letter does the Pope actually say, "You don't have to believe in God to go to heaven." Though the Pope does have some interesting thoughts on grace and forgiveness, you can make your own theological judgments about his letter by reading it on the La Repubblica website) …

Despite what Public Enemy may have said, 1989 wasn't just "another summer". Though history is rarely that neat, the final summer of the '80s saw the slow fade of many of the decade's icons, as well as the launch of some of the '90s' most enduring pop-culture institutions.
In terms of cultural legacy, the summer of '89 might not be able to compete with its predecessor of two decades prior – Woodstock and Bryan Adams will do that – but 25 years later, we're still feeling its impact.

How Thrift Stores Scare Up Halloween Cash
BOSTON ( MainStreet) -- Thrift store Halloween costumes do a good job changing their buyer's identity for a night, but they turn thrift stores from modest businesses to bustling industries with similarly scary efficiency.
Halloween is basically thrift store Christmas. Americans spent $6 billion on costumes, decorations and treats last Halloween, according to market research firm IBISWorld, and thrift stores are taking home an increasingly large portion of the loot.
Eleven months of the year, a thrift store is a thrift store; in October many transform into Halloween costume superstores. |
That $6 billion may put Halloween dead last behind Father's Day ($10.2 billion) among retail holidays and give it only 2.6% of overall holiday spending, but it disguises steady growth from $5.8 billion in 2008 while Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Easter and Father's Day spending all declined between 2008 and 2009. While Mother's Day alone taking a more than $2 billion hit during that span, Halloween spending increased by $250 million.
Last year, Americans spent an average of $66.28 apiece on costumes, candy and decorations. Those aged 18 through 34 -- or the students and post-collegians who fall right into thrift stores' target Halloween demographic -- far eclipsed that by spending an average of $80 among those 18-24 and $91 among those 25-34. Those 18 through 24, however, spent only $37 on costumes, which is under the $38 national average and far below the $43 spent by potential parents aged 25 to 55.
The more than 30,000 resale, consignment and thrift shops that the National Association of Resale and Thrift Association counts in the U.S. deserve at least some of the credit for that lowball costume figure. Goodwill Industries International, which has 2,600 stores in the U.S. and Canada and is opening 20 more this month, says Halloween sales accounted for a sizable chunk of its $2.3 billion store revenue last year and the 7.25% jump in revenue from 2009. "Within the past two years, we've seen 9.8% of all of our sales during the retail year are attributed to Halloween," says Lauren Lawson, a spokeswoman for Goodwill Industries. "We've been tracking our sales and donation data for each of the autonomous stores over the last decade and October has the most sales volume of any month." The source of that $235 million bump is especially apparent in student-heavy towns such as Boston, where Morgan Memorial Goodwill Industries -- Goodwill's founding branch and one of its 165 autonomous regional headquarters -- says revenue increases 20% in October thanks to Halloween sales. Morgan Goodwill is trying to further capitalize on the costumed student body by offering 50% discounts on Labor Day weekend and 25% savings to college students, faculty and staff throughout September.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Help with breed of dog for children
(56 Posts)I feel a bit silly asking this as I have shown and trained dogs for years, however we all tend to stick to our own breed and I need some help picking a breed to own now that we have young children. I prefer big dogs but don't think it would be a good idea to pick a large breed with a baby learning to crawl/walk and a 2 year old running around. We would like to get a small/medium breed that is good with people - especially children. We've researched breeds, looked on breed websites and spoken to some breeders but it's hard to know if they're just trying to sell you a puppy. I just wondered if you wonderful dog owners of mumsnet could give me your experiences, good and bad, of small/medium breeds to help us make our minds up. We're in no rush or anything and will obviously take our time choosing.
The reason we will not be getting a rescue dog at this time is because, having worked in dog rescue for many years, I know that most will not home dogs with young children and, also, I do intend to show the dog as a hobby as I have done this for around 20 years (mostly handling other people's dogs for the past few years).
Thanks for your help.
You have now opened the floodgates for everyone to pile on here and sell you their own dog's breed!
So I'll start, although mine doesn't count as a breed as he's a poodle-cross (cockapoo). Medium-build (although they vary), intelligent (would be great at agility) and has been easy to train, extremely cute to look at, but his best feature of all is his temperament. He's a real people-pleaser and just wants company, although he can be left alone for reasonable periods too.
Can't fault him. ignores shredded cereal box under table
All small breeds can be good with children. I would not really say that one is better than another. I would look at what other characterisitics you are looking for. If you maybe prefer maybe bigger dogs it might worth looking at something like borders who are often described as big dogs in a small dog body.
I love my Border and he is fab with my 7 year old as they love bouncy games of football but he is a typical terrier and very boisterous. I find it hard when my friend brings her toddler to visit.
Kc spaniel
Nice size. Nice temperament. Not snappy like some terriers tend to be. Easy to train.
And if you like long walks and lots of exercise then a cocker spaniel.
Not a jack russell
Due to circumstance I have had Labrador puppies alongside mobile babies / toddlers.
Yup they get big and bouncy, but I've never had a pancaked child. , however it makes training the children easier as its generally more of a challenge to push 25 kilos of lab around than it is a small.
I think whatever size, breed traits you go for you can generally make work with your children as long as the dog suits your lifestyle.
And that is all I am saying
I Second staffy
Staffy. Or Pug. But Im biased. I have 3
We have 2 cocker spaniels (one 'show' one 'working')
Koko (our working) is THE smartest and best tempered dog i have ever known. Same type of dog the d&c of cambridge have. You could do anything to her and she would just look at you like 'please mum- you're on my tail!' Such a gorgeous girl. I know it's probably better to save a dog from a rescue home but if you can look out for this breed from a rescue you will be lucky! i promise you won't be disappointed. Just keep in mind they have LOADS of energy and really need to be challenged like any 'working' dog. We have an almost 2 year old DD and they have been around since the beginning. They are lovely and gentle with her but especially Koko. She's a real mate.
I know you said you don't want a large dog - but we have a Greater Swiss mountian dog - and he is amazing with kids, and comparatively not bouncy, never had a problem with him jumping up......
low energy, doesn't need long walks, but definately enjoys being part of the family
My working cocker is fab with my almost 12 month dd - v gentle, but also loves a bit of toddler-themed fun. They have a lovely relationship, to the extent that dd says "dog" more reliably than 'mumum" or "dadda". Think she is pretty typical of the breed too. Also nice halfway house between big dog and small - dh is a german shephard man, i grew up around greyhounds, but she is enough dog for both of us, ifswim? Tbh,, we are pretty much agreed now that we would never have another breed.
I have rescue mongrels so not a breed but totally amazing with my DCs
Another working cocker fan here, we have two a 5 year old and a 1 year old, we also have dc who are 4 and 2. Yes they need exercise, but my they are gentle and are always up for a game of follow my biscuit with the 2 year old (never nick it though!)Which she loves playing, oh and my 2 year old can walk the younger cocker past other dogs and he will ignore the other dogs completely. (think he just knows that she is little and that you could blow on her and she would fall over)
Rescue a greyhound? Very placid, very gentle, great with kids/babies, don't need much exercise (very lazy too!)
Another vote for Staffie ,we have a staffie (now 5 years old) and a lab (4 months old), we got our staff when dd2 was 2 and she has been great with both dd's, she's gentle with them, happy to be sat on (although we have taught them not to sit on her) and she looks after the dd's when they are poorly, although my lab is also lovely he is deffently more bouncy and more likely to pinch food out of the dd's hands.
I know Staffies often get a bad name but they really are the best dogs with children, they are family dogs, they are very loving and very gentle.
I second all the spaniel votes. Three friends have spaniels (one cocker two springer) and they've grown up with their kids, been really gentle with no end of ear pulling etc. If you want a slightly bigger dog but my collie x springer is the same, very gentle with kids and totally tolerant of being trodden on and tail pulled by my friend's toddler! Don't know if you'd be interested in a cross breed to show though.
You want my dog he's a black lab crossed with a Gordon setter. He's lovely and very gentle. Alternatively get a setter, but not a red one as they are loopy.
Try the breed quiz on the dogbreedinfo website I found it really useful for highlighting breeds I wouldn't have known/considered
Retrievers are less bouncy and more relaxed than labs, once you get past the puppy stage.
My friend has a Tibetan Terrier and two small children. Really good with children, like a teddy bear and doesn't moult.
Thanks for all the suggestions, I wouldn't rule out a larger dog or a crossbreed really and we do understand that every dog is different so you can't guarantee anything, but we want to do the best we can by choosing a breed that has the characteristics we would like. The most important thing to us is that it is a breed known for being good with people/children.
We'll go through everyone's suggestions more carefully and hopefully the right breed will become apparent.
Keep the suggestions coming and if anyone has any experiences of breeds that are not good with children, this would also be helpful. Thanks again
Re. the small children + dog - I'd say it depends on the dog, not the size. For example, I know a woman from dog walking with border terriers that are adorable but totally unsuitable to live with young DCs.
We have a greyhound. He's affectionate, gentle, lazy and folds up small. He is large when unfolded though. And his poos and wees are massive too...
Our friends have staffies. Their two are laid back, very loyal and very cuddly with their DCs. I'd go for one if we didn't have our chap already. Lots of rescues foster their dogs out too, so you can look for one that's already been in a home with young children.

Mar Market Overview
A lot has been going on in Europe in the first two months of 2015. Swiss National Bank removed the peg of 1.20 francs per euro, European Central Bank announced the QE program, radical left-wing Syriza won the elections in Greece, shortly thereafter Sweden cut its key interest rate, S&P downgraded Russia's credit rating to junk status, and the conflict in Ukraine continued.
These are the key events that are likely to drive the price of gold in the following months - be sure to be aware of their impact.
