The server was one of the best we have ever had.
The ambiance was very ordinary, just an open area in the lobby. The food was average at best. Some of the lettuce was brown. The asparagus was inedible. The onion soup was so heavy in onions and bread that I didn't finish it. The steak was very unspectacular. The drinks were overpriced and so so. We spent more over and above the voucher than we spent on an outstanding dinner the following evening. This was our first disappointment with Travel Zoo vouchers.

Party demands apology from Congress leaders Also total write-off of farmers' loans
ANANTAPUR: District unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday launched a 30-hour dharna on farmers' problems in front of the Collectorate here.
The party demanded an apology from the Congress leaders to the farmer community for their failure to get a special package sanctioned to the district so far.
Speaking at the protest, party leaders -- M.S. Parthasarathi, Naresh, T. Krishnamurthy, V. Pundareekaksha Reddy, Vishnuvardhan Reddy -- reminded the Congress leaders that they had promised waiver of crop loans and a special package before the last Assembly elections.
But both the promises remained unfulfilled so far, they said.
They alleged that the Congress party was utilising the drought of Anantapur for publicity and political mileage.
The sincerity shown by the party by seeking alms to help the farmers when in opposition was missing now.
The special package of Rs. 1,000 crores announced to the district during P.V. Narasimha Rao's regime was not implemented so far.
Moreover, the Government was hesitating to write off crop loans of farmers to the tune of Rs. 900 crores in the district, when it was taxing people heavily with new levies. They demanded total write-off of farmers' loans, nine-hour uninterruptible power supply to farming community, sanction of new farm connections and immediate payment of compensation to families of all farmers who had committed suicide, remunerative price for cocoons and open fodder centres to prevent disposal of cattle to the slaughter houses.
Further, they demanded the Government to pay compensation to the farmers displaced by PABR, CBR, Yadiki Canal and Handri-Neeva project without any discrimination, to fill tanks with water from HLC, formation of new tanks and control corruption in the NREGS.

Know the quick fixes behind a few of the most frustrating bathroom repairs.
By Chris Hill, Chief's ShopMore in Home Improvement
Sinks and tubs whisk away a lot of stuff, including dirt, soap, shampoo, hair, dead skin — a lot of material that can build up in the drain. While we may be quick to grab a drain cleaner or try a plunger when water won't go down, sometimes a simple cleaning out can do the trick. Feed a drain snake (if you don't have one, try straightening a wire clothes hanger) a few inches past the stopper, twirl it around and slowly pull it out. This will be easier if you can remove the stopper. There's a good chance you'll snag a clump of hair and gunk. Keep doing this a few times until the water drains and you can't remove anything else. Now's a good time to follow up with a drain cleaner or a simple combination of baking soda and vinegar, followed by very hot, but not boiling, water.

Druids Conclusion Update[edit]
I sadly just read your conclusion section of the article on Druids. I appreciate that you quoted properly Stuart Piggott, Barry Cunliffe and Miranda Alhouse-Green, but I wish you would have at least included Peter Berresford Ellis in part of your summary, as he offers a well researched alternative to your conclusion. His view that the use of human sacrifice by the Druids was based more on anti-Druid Roman prejudice than on actual documented truth is compelling. Most of the Roman sources relate to Poseidonios (whether he is given as source or not) including Julius Caesar, and the fact that the Romans never forgave the Celts for sacking Rome in the 300's BCE. While to say that there was not any human sacrifice may be overstressing the point, I feel it is fairer to state that the use of human sacrifice was probably only used sparingly and during times of great national stress (i.e. the Roman invasion of Britain) if it was used at all.
Charles Kilker220.127.116.11 (talk) 18:22, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
- The Romans were notorious for making up honorific stories about enemies. The same baby-eating human sacrifice stories were invented about the Carthaginians after Hannibal's exploits. The Tudors were notorious for it, too.188.8.131.52 (talk) 02:43, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, but the "honorific" evidence is not the only evidence. (I don't think that word means what you think it means!) That Iron Age Celts performed ritual executions is well-attested, by the bog bodies if by nothing else. Just what they mean, and whether the Druids were involved, is now really impossible to say. Modern opinions (as above or as mentioned in the article) that Druids could only have resorted to sacrifice on rare occasions sound like so much special pleading -- propaganda like the Roman accounts, but in the other direction. Solid evidence either way is lacking. The truth is we simply don't know, and are never likely to know. -- Elphion (talk) 04:46, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
Ellis an Unreliable Source[edit]
Regarding the unreliable source? tag just before source 33 under Sacrifice, the sentence reading " Peter Berresford Ellis, a Celtic nationalist who authored The Druids (1994), believed them to be the equivalents of the Indian Brahmin caste, and considered accusations of human sacrifice to remain unproven,[unreliable source?][33] ...":
The issue seems to be that some readers consider Ellis to be an unreliable historian because he writes for wider audiences and doesn't cite his sources as often as more academic historians would. But in this particular case, the sentence isn't talking about any factual claim he made (e.g. "The druids practiced this."). All it's saying is that he himself, in his book, made a comparison to the Indian Brahmin caste and he himself didn't consider the claims of human sacrifice to be reliable. So this isn't a case of someone needing to go look in the book and then find the source he used, like it would be if we were talking about a factual claim, rather than his own opinions.
Based on this, I don't think it makes sense to keep the unreliable source? tag there. I think we should either remove the tag, or remove that part of the sentence that states his opinions, but continuing to have the tag there for no reason doesn't make sense to me. Aduff01 (talk) 03:22, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
- Or better still find a more acceptable source. A broad comparison with the Brahmins as a hereditary group of priests is not an especially speculative claim or opinion I would have thought, though evidence is lacking. Johnbod (talk) 14:09, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
- Find a better source, let's not use Ellis. Dougweller (talk) 14:52, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
- A more acceptable source that just happens to have made the same speculation as him? That doesn't sound likely to me. That's why I'm suggesting just removing that sentence altogether as one of the options. Aduff01 (talk) 10:05, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
- I agree, let's just remove it. If someone comes along with a decent source then maybe it can be replaced then. Dougweller (talk) 11:18, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
Druids in popular culture[edit]
Although this is not historically relevant, is there an interest in adding a short subsection that can overview the depiction of druids in popular culture, such as in fantasy-themed RPGs like D&D and Diablo (series)?
ozhu量 (talk·contribs) 23:46, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
Druid religion[edit]
I have just met a person who practices the druid religion. I was surprises to see that there was little information on the modern day religious practices and beliefs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 01:10, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
- See the section"Romanticism and modern revivals" and associated articles. Dougweller (talk) 06:27, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
Several editors have been adding assertions that the ancient Druids included both men and women. Do we have any ancient testimony to support that point? Thomas Amory's Memoirs of several Ladies of Great Britain (1755) is not exactly a reliable source: 18th century authors were notorious for inventing Celtic history out of whole cloth. I find no mention of female Druids in Caesar's account; are there any good sources? Otherwise, this claim should be removed. -- Elphion (talk) 13:58, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
- A little googling digs up a couple of references to female druids in Roman texts - however, they're all in the Historia Augusta, which is late (late 3rd-early 4th century) and notoriously untrustworthy in a lot of ways. (Loads of websites list the Historia Augusta, Flavius Vopiscus and Aelius Lampridus as separate sources, when in fact they're all the Historia Augusta.) All the other evidence presented is from medieval Irish tradition, when the word druí had come to mean little more than "wizard". And I'd agree, an 18th century sentence (with no context and evidently lifted from a dictionary citation) claiming Caesar did something that doesn't match any ancient source is obviously worthless as a source for Iron Age practices. The ancient sources simply don't give us enough to be able to say whether or not there were female druids, so the article shouldn't definitely say there were in its first sentence. I'll remove it. --Nicknack009 (talk) 14:40, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
- ageed Johnbod (talk) 17:42, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
- I also agree. Thomas Amory is not a reliable source for this and as for the OED, the existence of the English word "druidess" only shows that people have thought there were female druids, not that there actually were. So far as I can tell, there are no contemporary sources connecting any woman with the term "druid". There are sources for male druids, and sources describing women as priestesses and such, but nothing for female druids specifically. As Nicknack says, female druids appear commonly in medieval Irish literature and other later material, but this is long after the period druids existed in Celtic societies. As such there's no real evidence for them; the possibility should be discussed in the article body, but it certainly shouldn't be included without caveat in the introductory sentence.--Cúchullain t/c 01:15, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Not the Kind of BLT You Had in Mind/ The Older I Get, the More I Realize......
Ticks Spread: Nova Scotia has identified a fourth area of the province where the ticks that carry Lyme disease are established. Dr. Maureen Baikie travelled to Pictou County to warn people they should take precautions to avoid black-legged ticks when they're outdoors. In New Brunswick, these ticks are also well established in some areas near Saint John, but in PEI (where ticks generally aren't common), they haven't presented a problem yet.
Lyme Disease is infectious and can cause a variety of symptoms, starting out with a rash in the shape of a "bull's-eye" which can lead to other symptoms such as fever, fatigue and depression, if left untreated. We spoke with Dr. Maureen Baikie in Pictou.
Words of Wisdom : Acquiring knowledge is one thing. But wisdom - something that grows out of years of observing the tragic, comic and mundane elements of life - wisdom is quite another. The insights that eventually bubble up to top of mind don't necessarily work for anyone else, but they can help guide you through life's ups and downs. And you don't have to be of advanced years to notice recurring patterns in human behaviour - some old souls seem to sort things out pretty early in life. Our guests are keen observers of life - at home, in their communities and in the wider world. Lisa Hrabluk provides professional writing services in Saint John and has been, among many other things, a political columnist. Don Munro is the Producer of Information Morning in Sydney & a quizmaster who's been known to make radio hosts sweat when he tests their knowledge of current events.
So, did you complete the following sentence : "The older I get, the more I realize....".

Milwaukee, WI: Children's Health Alliance of Wisconsin. http://chawisconsin.org/oralHealth/Resources.htm Child Care Information Center Issue 56 Dental Decay is an Infectious Disease In order for tooth decay to occur, there must be interaction of four factors: 1. Bacteria. Infants are not born with the bacteria that cause dental decay. They are infected through saliva, usually by caregivers. Caregivers can infect the child with the bacteria by sharing eating utensils, sharing food or pre-chewing food for the baby or cleaning off a baby bottle nipple or a pacifier with their mouth. 2. A tooth. As soon as a baby gets his/her first tooth, it is important to start cleaning the baby's mouth and teeth. 3. The proper environment (foods containing sugars). All foods and drinks that contain any kind of sugar, allow the bacteria to start producing acids. Even "natural" sugars, like those found in milk and juice, can cause acid production. These acids are what cause cavities in teeth. frequency. 4. Time or Frequency. The longer foods or beverages that contain sugar are present in the mouth with bacteria, the longer the teeth are exposed to cavity-producing acid. Do not allow your child to carry a bottle or trainer cup around with them because it can encourage frequent sipping.

Model play and invite children to visit the dentist. Use clothes pins to attach a bib to the children's chests, have them open wide, count their teeth, give them a prize. Let other children take the lead and be the dentist. Children can sit in the waiting room and look at books and magazines. Have individual tooth brushes available for children in the bathroom and encourage them to brush their teeth throughout the day. Goal: Children will increase their ability to initiate and sustain interactions with peers and adults. They will develop an awareness of health and hygiene while learning to play cooperatively and share materials. Art Project: Tooth Brush Painting Materials: Paper Washable tempera paint Old toothbrushes Activity: Set out art supplies to provide open-ended opportunities for self-expression using toothbrushes and paint. Goal: Children will gain fine muscle control and express themselves by using a variety of art media. www.madisonchildrensmuseum.org Issue 56 Child Care Information Center 15 Science Activity: Breaking Down Calcium Materials: Egg Plastic peanut butter jar or other unbreakable transparent vessel Vinegar Activity: Talk to children about bones and teeth. Discuss calcium and its contribution to creating healthy bones and teeth. Discuss calcium rich foods. Use inquiry–based learning as you ask children if they can name foods or drinks they eat that contain calcium. The outer shell of an egg is hard because it has calcium. Ask children what will happen if they put an egg in a glass of vinegar and leave it overnight? Document their predictions and leave the document by the experiment. Check the egg later that day and again in the morning. Conclusion: Vinegar breaks down mineral deposits like lime and calcium. The egg shell will have disintegrated leaving only the lining of the egg intact. Goal: Children will learn to hypothesize, investigate, observe and draw conclusions from their discoveries. Bibliography: Books for Children Goal: Children will continue to develop speaking, listening, reading and writing skills through active engagement with these literacy materials. They will learn letter recognition and develop an increasingly complex vocabulary. At the Dentist. Greene, Carol. Child's World; 1998. ISBN#1-56766-468-7 Going to the Dentist. Frost, Helen.

Music always has a place in my writing, and even years after I wrote my first full-length novel (which went on to become my 3rd published book) I can hear a song on that book's playlist and be instantly transported back into that world with it's lively assortment of characters.
Playlists act as triggers, as I can identify a character or scene with a song, hear it, and be right where I need to be writing-wise in my mind. For Branded Irish, there is a key scene where there is a confrontation between the Riding Irish and a rival motorcycle club. Those events will have far, far, far reaching consequences, well beyond the Branded Irish storyline…it's clear things are about to change for our fun-loving group of Irishmen.

fireplace and big screen TV
Our family room is about 15'*15' with only 1 blank solid wall. west side has all windows, north side is open to the kitchen, east side is the walk way to kitchen. So, we basically have 1 south side wall for the TV and fireplace.
I would like to have both large screen TV (like 60') and fireplace on that wall but can't find any fireplace that is low enough to make the viewing angle comfortable. We are just about to give up on having a fireplace in the family.
Does anyone have suggestions on the TV and fireplace placement that would look good and practical?
No suggestions other than to read this thread. Flat screen TV over fireplace - ideas for making it look nice
For one thing, it seems to not be comfortable viewing it up that high. Then there are also other considerations.
Here is a link that might be useful: Other posts about fireplaces
our family room is long and narrow (about 12 ft wide).
Here is how we handled that problem.
I designed this custom entertainment center and then had the same guy that built my kitchen cabinets build this.
It cost me about $4500.00. That is a Direct vent valor fireplace with remote control and a 52" Sharp Aquos TV.
The surround of the fireplace is Onyx and it is backlit.
We like the fireplace up higher , like you see, as the heat hits us right where we need it.
Good Luck!!
