Trip Start
Trip End
Before the sun had even kissed Lucca we were up and getting ready for our trip to Bellagio. Lake Como. We set our alarms and made sure we were packed and on our way to the train station early. The sun had just come up while we were walking on the wall, it was sending the most beautiful light through the trees and streets of Lucca…real photo opportunities all round.
Greg and Jacinta called earlier as they were about to board their earlier train to Firenze and we all wished each other a fond farewell …
We made our way to Lucca Stazione and immediately on boarding were told that there was a problem on the line ahead and that there were going to be delays…GREAT!!! (Luckily we had an hour to spare in Florence before we were to board our train to Milano...purchasing tickets for the regional trains - eg Lucca to Florence - is never a problem as they can be used for a few months after purchase, hence the need to validate them at the station but when purchasing tickets for the Freccia trains, eg Florence to Milan - you actually book a particular time and also you are allocated a particular seat. If you miss them then its too bad...) We were also now sitting on the quicker train to Florence so we had a bit of time up our sleeves...(The 'travel day', as i call it, is actually a little stressful...cos you are reliant on everything falling into place. Today, it would not have been the end of the world if we had missed the connecting train but it just would have made life a little more 'difficult'.) Anyway, we arrived in Florence and were seated on our train to Milan with about 10 mins to spare...
The transfer to the Frecciarossa at Florence was seamless…we even managed to talk a couple into swapping their seats with Mark and Kerry so that we were all sitting together. After 1hr and 40 minutes we arrived at Milano, my favourite train station with its towering ceilings and almost cathedral looking foyers and lounges that have been cleaned and refurbished to make you know that you are one of the busiest cities in the world. We got into Milan with plenty of time to get on the train to Lake Como, as well as buy 4 cups of coffee and a couple of (very dry) panini to take on board the train.
The trip up was exceptional….very comfortable…very fast…very cool… We got off the train and made our way through beautiful Como to the departure area at the lake port and bought 4 tickets to Bellagio, leaving by fast ferry about 5 minutes later. What followed was some of the most picturesque scenery i had ever seen!!! We (Mark and I) were poised outside, in the middle section of the ferry with cameras in hand and ready to take photos by the dozen…thank God for digital photographs… The ferry trip took nearly 1 hour to get from Como to Bellagio…with about 4 stops in between (sorry girls, we never saw George once!!). We must have taken over 50 photos between us…
When we finally arrived at Bellagio we were greeted with a beautiful little town with magnificent scenery all around us. From the moment we stepped off we felt as if we had walked into a postcard…We couldn't get the smile off Marks face (not to mention the rest of us)…with all the world travels he has been on and still he looked like a kid that had just tumbled into a candy store…it was amazing. We stopped at a local restaurant /bar and ordered some prosciutto/melon/cheese and bread as well as some wine and beer….perfect!!!
After we finished our very late lunch we called the hotel and they advised us that they would send someone down to pick us up…so while waiting, we took in the local scenes including a remote mini-helicopter that had a camera attached to capture all underneath it…again…GREAT!!!
The shuttle dropped us off at the reception where we were met by the Manager (one of the owners) in charge, who booked us in and showed us our rooms…Oh My God!! What a place…huge bed…huge living area…huge bath and bathroom…but above all a view that you would kill for….…Perfect!!! After the receptionist had left and we had booked our restaurant for the evening we just stood outside our rooms looking up to the Swiss Alps and pinching ourselves thinking how lucky we were…(i have to admit, Kerry and I were just a tad overwhelmed by the beauty of what we were seeing and we were quite emotional at this stage...one of those moments where you would love all the people who are dear to you to be with you. Descibing it, and the photos, will never do it justice)
We talked for a while...then left each other alone for a couple of hours while we had a shower/bath and got ready for dinner. Later we met up in Mark and Kerrys room for a predinner drink, then we were collected by a car from the restaurant, a complimentary service. (The restaurant is a 5 minute drive from the hotel and is owned by the same people who own the hotel (both are run by the family too)). An open wood fire in a huge fireplace greeted us as we were led through to the dining room. We were given the menu that consisted of mainly seafood and we all ordered accordingly…I don't think I would be selling the meal short by saying it was one of our best meals yet….we all had fresh succulent fish caught and cooked this afternoon…and all so different and so tasty. We all ordered and swapped our dishes to get a taste of everything we had ordered… food was being eaten with sighs and gasps of appreciation from the four of us after every mouthful. Not only was it all so special we were also given ample amounts to scoff down.!!! Magnificent!!!! The Entr�e/Mains/ Coffee and dessert were very special and we spoke about it well into the night. We paid our bill and we were driven back to our hotel and we said goodnight and went to bed.
What a perfect way to start our holiday within a holiday….I so underestimated Como and Bellagio, I'd heard it was beautiful, but…what a place….
28/10/11 Friday
Every hour from 4.00am I was waking up checking to see if the sun had begun rising…lying back on our bed we had a perfect panorama of the Swiss Alps in the distance…we knew it was going to be a magnificent moment and we didnt want to miss it. We both were awake and it was something very special… still very dark on the lake and going up the mountain but with the new days sunlight hitting the top of the snow covered alps…breathtaking!!!
After witnessing that I quickly tucked myself back into bed for a few more hours of sleep…the temperature was quite nippy but the room was very toasty…even a little too warm but who's complaining!!!
We were meeting up with Mark and Kerry for breakfast so Mary woke me up in time and looking out of the window was a cloud…at the same height as us …right in the middle of the lake…a picture ready to be taken but by the time I took out the camera …it was gone. . I have already said what a lovely hotel the 'Borgo le terrazze' is. It is only a 3 star Hotel mainly because there is no restaurant or bar to speak of but they do have a very tasty breakfast available every morning which we took advantage of… (they also are able to sell you bottles of wine or some snacks...we definitely took advantage of the availability of the wine. In the 3 days we were in Bellagio, we were not able to find a supermarket)
During breakfast we decided that we would spend the day walking the 2 kms into the Bellagio centre and then do the touristy things and checked the place out….this we did. The walk down was very pretty with absolutely unbelievable views of mountains, buildings and lake views… even if at times we found ourselves walking down the main road in and only a few centimetres from oncoming buses and cars…we managed to stay alive and most of the walk was downhill so not too tiring. (later, i suggested walking back up and was quickly outvoted!! it was rather steep :))
Once in Bellagio we walked and shopped for a few hours through streets that seemed to be built out of a story book… and then found our way back to the lake front and ordered lunch at the same place that we had eaten yesterday when we first arrived. Did the trick and we then decided to catch the ferry across the lake to another town that looked equally tempting.
We bought tickets on the smaller car ferry that exists to take cars and people to and from Bellagio and Cadenabbia, many times a day, every day of the year… (you wonder whether the Captain of that particular boat sees the view anymore, how sad would that be, if he didnt...We have spoken to many people over these last few months, while telling them what we are doing, and how beautiful Italy is and how lucky they are to live here, with the views, the mountains etc and everyone has come back with 'but you are from Australia, THAT is such a beautiful place, the weather, the beaches...i guess the ole saying comes to light 'the grass is always greener'…)
Once across the other side, we immediately realized there is difference from one side of the lake to the other. From here you werent able to see the Alps and also it was much colder.…we wandered around for awhile then stopped at a Caf�/Bar that was run by an English woman who had settled in Lake Como many years earlier… It was a lovely afternoon but was getting very cold …very quickly… even though it was only 4.00pm…the sun was already behind the mountains on that side of the lake.
We caught our ferry back to Bellagio and called the Hotel to come and pick us up…we had to wait for awhile this time but eventually we were back in our room, warm and toasty.
After a lovely hot bath we took our time getting ready for dinner…again the restaurant staff picked us up to take us to Silvios Restaurant where we enjoyed another magnificent meal…(we normally enjoy trying out different restaurants but after wandering around Bellagio during the day, we really didnt notice that many that were going to be open and we had enjoyed our meal so much last night, we decided that this is where we will continue to come for dinner. The staff, owners, decor and food were all just too irresistable )
29/10/11 Saturday
Today we decided to make our way to the ferry and visit the two nearest towns to Bellagio. After visiting these towns I must admit that they are all very similar…probably the biggest surprise is that everything closes down for the 'winter' season. So many hotels close down for the period between October and April…in other words for 6 months the hotel is closed. Apparently, it is financially better not having any guests and closing the hotel and restaurants rather than to be open, with only a few guests….weird!!! All the places we visited were so geared to summer and summer activities…but they were all very pretty and fantastic to visit.
We also made it a point to find out where the train station is in Varenna and how long to walk there from the ferry drop off…for tomorrow.
The whole of the Lago Como region is truly spectacular …and the four of us have been spoilt with where we are staying…with the food we are eating …and the things we are doing. It has been a very special time…to be remembered, always.
We returned back to Bellagio returning to the hotel to have a couple of hours R&R before dinner.
Once at the restaurant we were taken to our table by Christian and offered menus…we thought we would be smart (well, it was really Kerry and dont forget, this was our 3rd night there in a row, so we were getting to know the staff & Christian, the partowner) so we told him we knew what we wanted to order (as we had all discussed it that afternoon)…at which point he took the menus and said to Kerry 'ok, i will play your game' . So, he asked us roughly what we felt like, how many courses and different questions like that and then he asked if we would leave it up to him. Well, of course, we did.
Well!!! The food that was served was incredible…all fish with some absolutely perfect pasta to start with followed by fish mains and the largest special icecream you have ever seen followed by some serious coffees…magnificent!!!! (it really was an experience, plus we kinda felt a little special)
We finished dinner very late and made our way back to our hotel and waddled to our rooms…another great day and a special last night…
30/10/11 Sunday
We were up early this morning, quick breaky and then down at the ferry terminal by 10.00am…we also had to take into account that daylight savings ended during the night. We took the ferry across to Varenna, ready for the 10.37am train to Milano.
We will miss Bellagio, it was everything we had expected (and so much more!)…Thankyou Kerry & Mark...The clouds were still hanging over the lake as we boarded the train and from the one track leading out of Veranno we watched the lake for as long as we could. The train trip was exciting, in and out of mountains, the lake close by and then way below. (Most of the hour trip to Milan was just magical with the views from the train)
We arrived into Milano and left Mark and Kerry to do their own thing while we visited Tatiane and Zio Enrico for a couple of valuable hours…they were both in fine form and it was so good to have been able to see them.
We all met up again to board our train back to Florence and Lucca.
Now, Paul had been keeping us updated on the Comic festival that was on this weekend in Lucca and how amazing and chaotic it was. He also mentioned that there were a lot of people around. (We definitely knew something was going on, as every train between Florence and Lucca, going in the opposite direction, was packed with people all dressed up in different characters etc.) Anyway… we pulled into Lucca to the largest amount of people waiting at the station we had ever seen. (ever!) They were at least 6 deep waiting to jump on the train (at one stage, i didnt think we were going to be able to get off!!, it was like something you would see on a movie) It was a huge effort just to get off the train, then we had to push our way through people. (i never felt nervous though, everyone was in very high spirits, it was a very happy crowd)
The whole town was buzzing with thousands of, predominantly, teenagers wanting to have a good time or ready to go home. There were food tents situated outside the Wall, opposite the train station...there were people huddled in groups sitting on the grass. There was just a HUGE carnival atmosphere to Lucca. It was unbelievable but very exciting.
We quickly walked back along the wall to our Brunella and then unpacked and talked about what we would do for dinner. We decided that Mark and I would go for a walk to the centre and buy some wine and nibblies…which we did and enjoyed thoroughly.
After we had finished I took off again to purchase some nice home-made gnocchi and ragu but unfortunately the store was closed so I decided to buy a couple of pizzas from Mare Meo. I took off to order and when it was ready I was surprised to find out the credit card wouldn't work…so i needed to get cash. Believe it or not but I had to walk to 4 ATM's before I found one that actually had cash. With so many people in Lucca, the ATM's had run out of money. This 'Festival' is really boosting the economy…go for it!!! This all took about an hour (we all thought he had been hijacked by Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker!!) but we all finally sat down to tasty pizza.
31/10/11 Monday (Halloween) - 01/11/11 Tuesday
Today was also the second last day of the Comic Festival and we were all hoping that there would still be lots happening. As soon as we had all got ourselves organised and had some breakfast, we took off for a nice walk through the city centre.
The whole of Lucca was still heaving with characters from every comic ever written… we walked all over the main areas bumping into 'starwars' characters…'Captain America'…'living dead'…'vampires'…'star trek'…'sexy fairies'…'cowboys and indians'…and many many more. Most have gone through so much trouble to make sure they looked the part…and it's not as if there is a prize for the best looking or most true to character. They are all just excited to get dressed up and are only too happy to stop and make a pose for anyone who wants to take a photo…and EVERYONE wanted to take photos…it was very surreal!!
To add to all the hype it was…of course…HALLOWEEN. This elevated all the histrionics up a couple of levels with more characters than normal. The whole of Lucca is caught up and the stores and restaurants that may usually be subdued are right into it and it seems everyone is having a good time. I have to mention…yet again… that even with all these people in town we have still yet to see anyone behaving badly or walking the streets drunk or being a nuisance…it's fantastic and uplifting!
All the marquees that have been set up are full of 'comic enthusiasts' …all my concerns about there being so many tents and marquees were unjustified…it was packed. Apparently by the end of the festival there will have been nearly 160,000 visitors to Lucca in the 5 days…
We made sure that we checked out as much as we could all around the city including the main Marquee outside the wall. Most of these areas you needed a pass so we couldn't get in but they were packed. They also had a large stage set up at Baluardo San Paulino with bands playing to thousands of people every night right through until about midnight …and good bands as well.
Every year they have some famous celebrity that joins up…last year it was Hugh Jackman…(Wolverine!!) this year a certain 'red head' from Harry Potter turned up…even though we never saw him. The other amazing thing is the amount of professional photographers that were everywhere…taking photos all the time…all very exciting.
We decided to get 'Tron' the movie out for the night as it seemed fitting with what had been happening through the last five days…good movie…great special effects …
Tuesday night was the last night and it all ended with much fanfare with
the concert area going full on with so many people watching…and very
loud…great! Everyone knows that by the next day it would all be over and
totally over…no hangers on …no stalls open an extra day…no more
costumes in the street.
That night we all went out to San Georgio with Michelle and Paul so that Kerry & Mark could meet Michelle (M had been in England). Again another fantastic meal, drinks and night…really looked after by Piero and his team and everyone was over the moon with everything.
We all returned to Brunella for after dinner drinks and more chatting, Kerry & Mark soon retiring to bed, as they had an early start in the morning...they were off to Cinque Terra for the day.
02/11/11 Wednesday
Mark and Kerry took off for Cinque Terre. Mary and I had discussed with Mark and Kerry about all the great places to go. We were well aware that there had just been a huge disaster in two of the villages due to the rain. There was a good chance that they may noy be able to walk anywhere or visit all the towns but they decided to go anyway…which ended up being a great decision.
They were gone all day and had a wonderful time. There were a few restrictions such as the walk being closed and the ferries not taking passengers as they were being used to help with the devastation but they did manage to see the first two towns (Riomaggiore and Manarola) and had a great time. I caught up with them as I took off for my afternoon walk around the wall and they were just coming from the train station…they both looked very happy.
I made a pretty special 'Osso Buco' that night and we all enjoyed our second last night together.
The weather has been just fantastic all this week…. No rain to speak of (except for a night) and the sun has been shining brightly. Apparently, there has been a lot of rain all through this side of Italy and we have had telephone calls from Australia and Milan to see if we are OK…but the bad weather has not touched us at all…perfect 'Tourist' weather…not too cold …not too hot.
The autumn season is also starting to take its hold with nearly all the trees around the Wall and Lucca all beginning to lose their leaves…(its a lovely sight as you are walking, a calm breeze blows and ahead of you are leaves falling...its beautiful). The Lucca Comune are also right on the ball and have large machines that collect the leaves off the wall everyday…every day it seems clear and ready for more leaves to fall.
03/11/11 Thursday
On our last night with Mark and Kerry we took off for the restauarant on Baluardo San Colombano – we have seen and walked past this certain place a hundred times but we finally decided to go there…(we had had a coffee there with them on Tuesday and thought it would be nice for dinner). We never really knew what to expect from this place as we had never actually been inside it…(but it was very 'warm & cosy' looking. There were fairy lights everywhere and it just seemed the perfect place to have a perfect dinner)
We felt a bit strange when we first walked in as we were the only ones there. We ate well. Kerry and Mary treating themselves to lobster (both reminded me of a scene from 'Splash' with Tom Hanks and the mermaid)…(neither of us realized it would be served the way it was...we started to get very nervous when we saw the 'nut cracker' and another little tool served to us before the dish arrived...it was very nice but a bit too fiddly) The waiter also informed us that the restaurant combines with the main bar after everyone has left the restaurant and it becomes one of the night hot spots after the eating. We will definitely remember that and we will be back .
We got back to Brunella in time for the Hoppys to pack up their bags ready for their train trip to Rome tomorrow.
04/11/11 Friday
All of a sudden …all those months ago, late last year, when we told the Hoppys that we were going to Italy for the year, and they decided then a there that they would come over for a holiday… all those months of anticipation…has now come to an end!!!
We all woke early with Mark and Kerry using all their travel skills to make sure that everything was safely packed away. We ate our breakfast and I had my last game of 'Zombie Highway' on Marks i-pad….it was very teary…knowing I would never play that game again…we had become very close over the last couple of weeks… I had killed so many …it will be hard to part. (you and those games!!!..as i said, if you want you can get me an Ipad for Christmas and i will let you use it :):))
We were all quite sombre as we came down the stairs (Mark was quite happy about coming down the stairs for the last time!!) and walked our way back up onto the wall and to the train station. We arrived in plenty of time…validated the tickets Mark had purchased the day before and stood in the station coffee/bar (another of my favourites) and all had our last coffee together, then big hugs and a few tears goodbye before boarding the train. (Thanks guys, we hope you enjoyed it...safe trip home & getting back to normal...until your next adventure! :))
We waved the train goodbye and slowly walked back to Brunella…and even as we were leaving the station the weather started to change. The clear blue sky was quickly changing to an overcast sky and by the time we returned to Brunella the heavens opened and Lucca and her streets and houses were being cleaned. Mark and Kerry managed to leave just in time…safe journeys you two.
My goodness the pair of you are really having a ball,the photos are out of this world,a least some of the family are seeing what a beautiful world we live in,but most will never see what both of you are seeing,you are our ambassitors to the world,enjoy enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Toulouse is almost entirely built with red brick, hence its nickname, "the pink city". The city has some magnificent sights, and is characterized by a scent of violets.
Toulouse is a city in the South of France with a population of about 600,000. It is an industrial centre with a number of important companies, such as Concorde and Airbus. The Saint-Sernin Basilica, which is the biggest Romanesque church in western Europe, is certainly worth a visit. Other sights include the St. Etienne Cathedral and the Place du Capitole, with its beautiful town hall and theatre.
While you are in Toulouse, you must certainly go for a stroll around one of the many open-air markets, which are ideal if you are looking for an unforgettable souvenir. The Hôtel de Bemuy, the Musée des Augustins and the large number of private houses built in the Renaissance style are also worth a visit. Not far from Toulouse, there is the city of Carcassonne, a magnificent medieval walled city.

Mae rhai ohonoch wedi rhoi gwybod bod eich planhigion heb dyfu. Mae'n ddrwg gen i glywed hyn gan fy mod yn dallt faint mo siomedig gall o fod pryd nad yw arbrawf yn mynd yn ôl y bwriad. Ond di hyn ddim yn golygu ac nad oedd yr arbrawf yn llwyddiannus! Mae'n mor bwysig a diddorol i'r ddogfen pan nad yw pethau'n digwydd ac mae o bryd mae pethau yn digwydd. Am y rheswm hwn, mae'n bwysig eich bod yn cofnodi eich canlyniadau ar wefan Amgueddfa Cymru. I wneid hyn ewch i'r adran 'cofnodion blodau' ar y wefan a dewis 'nad oedd blodyn' o'r ddewislen.
Gwyliwch y gofod hwn i weld pa ysgolion sy'n ddyfernir tystysgrifau Gwyddonydd Gwych ac sy'n ennill Taith Natur!!
Diolch i chi am eich holl waith caled Gyfeillion y Gwanwyn,

Sylwadau ac ymatebion:
The Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary School: We made a bar chart of how high the crocus plants they are growing. Well they are tall. From F to professor plant. Prof P: Fantastic! Can you send me a picture of your graph? Keep up the good work Bulb Buddies.
Stanford in the Vale Gardening Club: Another week of recordings, we have had a mixture of sunny, cold and windy weather here, but still little rain! We became true scientists today watching the solar eclipse using buckets of water as a reflection. Our grounds are looking beautiful with the daffodils all in flower, swaying in the wind, and bright yellow in colour with the sun shining down on them! Pof P: What a lovely picture you paint of the daffodils! And what a fantastic way to have studied the eclipse! I didn't think of using water, we were using a reflection method but with colanders and paper at the Museum. Keep up the good work Super Scientists.
Tongwynlais Primary School: My daffodil has still not grown. I think it has died Prof P: I'm sorry to hear that your plant hasn't grown. Thank you for logging the information on the website, it is very important to the investigation. You really are a Super Scientist.
Coleg Powys: Sorry I sent the first measurement incorrectly. I thought it was in cm. The second measurement I have submitted is the correct one. Prof P: Thank you for spotting the mistake and rectifying it. I will delete the first entry. You are not the only one to make this mistake and we will add measurement information to the data entry page for next year!
The Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary School: All the crocus flowers opened this week except for mine! We have been busy measuring them. I hope mine will open soon, it is still quite small. Prof P: I'm glad to hear your plants have flowered and don't worry I'm sure the last one won't be long now!
Rivington Foundation Primary School: It was the highest its been on Wednesday and Thursday and on Friday we were on a school trip. Prof P: Wow Rivington Primary, your temperatures were high for Wednesday and Thursday! 30°c! Your thermometer must have been in direct sunlight and it must have been a very nice day! I hope you enjoyed the weather and your school trip.
Ysgol Clocaenog: Wedi cynhesu yma wythnos yma. Prof P: Helo Ysgol Clocaenog. Rwyf yn hapus i glywed bod y tywydd yn gwella!
Bickerstaffe CE Primary School: Daffodils in the pots have been a little later than the ones planted in the ground. We were surprised by this! We are going to select 2 pots that are at a similar stage and take one of them inside to see if it speeds up. We won't be able to keep the watering the same though - have you any suggestions? We thought about putting an 'umbrella' over the outdoor pot and not watering the one indoors? Professor P: Ooo this sounds like an exciting experiment Bickerstaffe Primary! Let me know how you get on and what your findings are! As for watering the plants, you really are thinking like Super Scientists by trying to keep all variables the same except for the one you are monitoring. This is very important to maintaining fair experiments. In this case, I wouldn't worry about watering them exactly the same. You can keep them roughly the same by looking at how moist or dry the soil is in each pot and watering them accordingly. I think you will see a difference in the plants very quickly if your classroom is nice and warm!
The Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary School: At last, my crocus finally flowered. It was the last one. From E. Prof P: I'm glad to hear all of your plants have flowered! Thank you for logging your flowering dates and heights.
Stanford in the Vale Primary School: Another dry week, since doing this very important investigation, we have noticed we have had very little rain this year. We would like to "Thank You" for allowing us to take part in this study, and we have really enjoyed finding out about the rain fall and taking daily temperature recordings, we spent a lovely afternoon eating ice-cream and drawing our daffodils ready to be judged! This week we have experienced sunshine, especially in the mornings, with winds picking up around lunch time! Stanford would like to wish you all a happy Easter. And we hope to take part in this investigation next year, as we are becoming experts in this field! Prof P: Hello Stanford in the Vale Primary, I should be thanking you for taking part in the project and for all your hard work! I'm glad to hear that you have enjoyed the project and that you will be applying for next year. I look forward to seeing your pictures if you are able to send them in, but the competition itself is not running this year! I will still post any pictures I receive on Twitter and on the Museum Blog. Happy Easter!
The Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary School: Nearly all our daffodils have flowered now. There is just one bud showing but 2 do not seem to have buds. The mystery plants are growing really well. I think they are daffodils but they are smaller than our daffodils. A and F. Prof P: Hello Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary. I'm glad to hear the mystery bulbs are growing, you are right, they are a different variety of daffodil! It's strange that two of your daffodils don't have buds. Could you send pictures to me? If these plants don't flower then you can still log the details and height on the NMW website. But I'd wait a bit, they might surprise you!
Rivington Foundation Primary School: We had our first 2 flowers flower today one in the ground and one in the pot but we still have a lot more to go though. We think it took such a long time to flower because we have so many trees blocking out some of the sunlight. Prof P: Hi Rivington Foundation Primary, if your plants haven't flowered before the holidays please take them home with you and log their flowering dates on the NMW website. If the trees were shading your plants from the sun this will have had an effect on their growth. Well done for thinking about what effects the environment is having on your plants - you really are Super Scientists.
Ysgol Bro Eirwg: Bylbiau cudd! Rydyn ni'n credu mae cannin pedr bach sydd gennym ni! Prof P: Dda iawn Ysgol Eirwg. Maent yn amrywiaeth wahanol o gennin Pedr!
Coppull Parish Primary School: Yesterday we had strong winds. Unfortunately a wooden pallet blew onto our daffodil plot and damaged some of them before they flowered. Prof P: Hello Coppull Parish Primary. I'm sorry to hear that your plants have been damaged. If they don't look like they will flower you can still log their heights on the Museum website and select 'did not flower' from the menu.
Ysgol Tal y Bont: At the end of the project we found 2 bulbs did not produce any flowers and 1 bulb produced a double flower. Prof P: Hi Ysgol Tal Y Bont. It's interesting that some of your plants didn't flower and exciting that one produced a double flower! Would you be able in send in pictures?
Our Lady of Peace Primary School: Thank you for letting us take the temperature and rainfall readings. We are going to miss doing it. Prof P: Hello Our Lady of the Peace Primary School. You can always apply to take part next year and continue developing the skills you have learnt from the project. You could also continue to take weather records and share them on the MET Office WOW website. Thank you for taking part and for all your hard work.
Dim ond pythefnos i fynd Cyfeillion Gwanwyn!
13 Mawrth 2015
,Helo Gyfeillion y Gwanwyn,
Wel, rydych chi wedi bod yn brysur! Rwyf wedi derbyn 75 o gofnodion blodeuo dros yr wythnos ddiwethaf, sy'n creu cyfanswm o 175 planhigyn wedi blodeuo!
I'r rhai ohonoch sy'n dal i aros am eich blodau dyma rai awgrymiadau:
- Bydd eich planhigyn wedi blodeuo pan fyddwch yn gallu gweld yr holl betalau, heb y casyn allanol sy'n eu diogelu tra eu bod yn datblygu (gweler y llun ar y dde).
- Cofiwch fesur mewn mm!
- Mesurwch o bwynt uchaf y pot i bwynt uchaf y blodyn.
- Cofiwch gofnodi'r dyddiad wrth rannu gwybodaeth flodeuo ar wefan Amgueddfa Cymru!
- Gadewch sylwadau wrth wneud cofnodion, dyma eich cyfle i ddweud wrthyf beth ydych chi wedi'i fwynhau neu beidio am y project!
- Rhannwch eich lluniau! Rwyf wedi rhannu lluniau ysgolion ar Twitter. Os nad yw eich ysgol yn defnyddio Twitter gall eich athro neu athrawes e-bostio lluniau i mi.
Does dim llawer i fynd nawr! Dim ond dwy wythnos o gasglu a chofnodi data tywydd sydd ar ôl!
Cofiwch, y 27ain o Fawrth yw'r diwrnod olaf i gofnodi eich data tywydd. Mae'n rhaid i chi wneud hyn er mwyn ennill eich tystysgrifau Gwyddonydd Gwych a chael cyfle i ennill taith natur yn yr amgueddfa!
Daliwch ati Gyfeillion y Gwanwyn,

Eich cwestiynau:
Your comments:
The Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary School: We were very excited this week as there were lots of buds on our crocuses. The weather has been getting warmer and today the first crocus flowers opened in the sunshine and we had to measure them carefully, H and J. Prof P: Well done H and J! I hope you have enjoyed studying the development of your plants. There are other experiments you can do that demonstrate how your flowers respond to light and heat. I will send these to your teacher but you can also find them on the website under 'Professor Plant's investigation ideas'. Keep up the good work!
Rivington Foundation Primary School: On Monday we had snow! And on Thursday we were on a school trip. Prof P: Well Rivington Foundation Primary School, you've had quite an exciting week! And you still managed to document your weather records, thank you very much!
Stanford in the Vale Primary School: Still no sign of bulbs in pots flowering yet, we think the ones in the ground are doing better, as the roots have more space to grow, unlike the pots which have restricted space! It's lovely and sunny here today, with a good sunny forecast for the weekend. When we return to school on Monday we should hopefully start to see our bulbs flowering. Prof P: Hi Stanford in the Vale Primary, I'm pleased to hear that you are observing other plants and discussing the effects of environment on growth and development. I hope the sun over the weekend spurs on your plants, it shouldn't be long now so watch them closely!
Our Lady of Peace Primary School: The bulb's still have not came out yet but one of them is almost out. Prof P: It shouldn't be long now Our Lady of the Peace Primary! Watch the flower buds carefully to see how they open. The spathe will begin to split lengthways as the bud grows! If your teacher has a camera you might be able to take pictures that show the different stages of the bud flowering!
Thorn Primary School: We are very sorry but we were unable to submit plants data this week as there was building work taking place at school and we could not safely get to the thermometer and rain collector. We will be fine to collect our data this week. Prof P: Thank you for letting me know Thorn Primary School, and not to worry! I look forward to seeing your data next week.
Our Lady of Peace Primary School: My name is T and my flower was first to open. It was outside when it opened but when we brought it inside it opened even more. We were amazed. Even our teacher was amazed. Prof P: Hi T. I'm glad that you have been studying your plants so closely, they are fascinating things! Did you discuss why the flower reacted to being moved inside? I suspect your classroom was a lot warmer than the playground!!
Swiss Valley School: Hello how do we record the mystery bulbs please? Prof P: Hi Swiss Valley School. You can record the mystery bulbs flowering dates for your own records in the class room, but there is no need to record them on the NMW website. Schools that are taking part in the Edina Trust extension projects were given an extra 20 daffodil bulbs to plant in the ground, and those schools are asked to document the flowering dates for these on the Edina Trust website. This is so that they can compare the flowering dates of those in the ground to those in pots and think of reasons why these might be different. Have you noticed differences in the development of your mystery bulbs to your bulbs in pots? Can you think of reasons for this?
Ysgol Iau Hen Golwyn: We enjoyed measuring them. Prof P: I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying the project Ysgol Iau Hen Golwyn! Keep up the good work.
Stanford in the Vale Primary School: All our crocus have flowered and they are looking so pretty. What a lovely week of warmer weather, and finally the rain came today, we are so in need of more rain.....we looked at the weather data as a group and noticed Oxfordshire have had little rain this year! Prof P: Hi Stanford in the Vale Primary. What a lovely post, and it's nice to see a positive spin on rain! I'm glad that you are using the resources on the map to study readings from other schools! You can also use the Met Office WOW website to look at readings in other areas.
Cennin Pedr ar gyfer Dydd Gŵyl Dewi
2 Mawrth 2015
,Helo Gyfeillion y Gwanwyn,
Rwy'n gobeithio cawsoch Ddydd Gŵyl Dewi gwych ddoe!
Mae Dydd Gŵyl Dewi yn ŵyl genedlaethol yng Nghymru sy'n dathlu Dewi Sant, nawddsant Cymru. Mae hwn yn gyfnod pryd mae'r hanes a thraddodiadau Cymru yn cael eu dathlu. Mae bwydydd traddodiadol fel cawl / lobscaws a gacennau cri yn cael eu paratoi, a gwisg draddodiadol ac arwyddluniau Cymreig yn cael eu gwisgo. Mae arwyddluniau Cymreig haddurno ar ddiwrnod Gŵyl Dewi yn cynnwys y genhinen (sy'n symbol o Dewi Sant) a'r Cennin Pedr. Mae'n ddiddorol bod y gair Cymraeg am ddwy yn mor debyg!
Roeddwn i'n meddwl y byddai'n ddiddorol i'r ysgolion yn Lloegr a'r Alban i weld pa mor bwysig yw'r Cennin Pedr yng Nghymru. Oeddech chi'n dathlu Dydd Gŵyl Dewi? Os nad, a oes ddyddiau eraill yr ydych yn ei dathlu? Gallech roi gwybod i mi am y rhain yn yr adran 'sylwadau' pan fyddwch yn cofnodi data tywydd yr wythnos hon!
Edrychwch ar y lluniau isod!

Dyddiadau blodeuo cyntaf!
27 Chwefror 2015
,Helo Gyfeillion y Gwanwyn,
Mae gen i newyddion cyffrous! Mae'r dyddiadau blodeuo cyntaf wedi eu cofnodi ar y wefan!
Llongyfarchiadau i Ysgol Deganwy – blodeuodd eu Crocws cyntaf nhw ar y 21ain o Chwefror, yn 90mm o uchder. Blodeuodd Crocws cyntaf Ysgol Tal Y Bont a Ysgol Bancyfelin ar y 23ain o Chwefror yn 65mm o uchder. A blodeuodd Crocws cyntaf Ysgol Gynradd Ynysddu ar y 25ain o Chwefror yn 50mm o uchder. Maent yn disgwyl i ddau arall flodeuo unrhyw ddiwrnod nawr!
Blodeuodd planhigion Swiss Valley CP School yn gynharach fyth, dros y gwyliau hanner tymor.
Mae Silverdale St John's CE School wedi adrodd bod rhai o'r crocws gafodd eu plannu mewn teiars wedi blodeuo. Mae un yn 110mm o daldra!
A heddiw, cefais dystiolaeth ffotograffig drwy Twitter i dangos bod Ysgol Gynradd Llanharan o leiaf dau blanhigyn Crocws sef wedi tyfu'n llawn! Gwelodd y dosbarth un ohonyn nhw ar agor heddiw!
Cofiwch gofnodi'r diwrnod blodeuo ac uchder eich planhigyn ar wefan Amgueddfa Cymru. Ond, peidiwch â gwneud hyn tan mae'r petalau yn gwbl weladwy a chofiwch fesur taldra mewn milimedrau!
Byddwn wrth fy modd yn cael lluniau o'ch blodau i'w rhoi ar wefan yr Amgueddfa a fy nhudalen Twitter. Gofynnwch i'ch athrawon i anfon y rhain ataf os yn bosib!
Hoffwn hefyd weld pa mor artistig ydych chi! Felly, mae gennyf weithgaredd i chi ei gwneud unwaith y bydd eich blodau wedi agor! Hoffwn i chi i dynnu darlun manwl o'ch planhigyn a labelu ei wahanol rannau. Mae hon yn ffordd wych o ddod i adnabod eich blodau yn well ac i weld pa mor gymhleth y gall pethau bach o'r fath fod. Mae hefyd yn ddiddorol iawn i gymharu Cennin Pedr a'r Crocws – allwch chi weld y tebygrwydd a'r gwahaniaethau? Mewn sawl ffordd mae pob blodyn yn debyg iawn, er eu bod yn edrych yn hollol wahanol ar yr olwg gyntaf!
Dyma gêm hwyliog yn ymwneud â labelu planhigion o wefan Bitesize y BBC.
Edrychaf ymlaen at weld eich lluniau.

Eich cwestiynau:
Stanford in the Vale Primary School: We had snow on Tuesday! Bitter cold all week. Prof P: Wow Stanford in the Vale Primary, you have had cold weather! -2 on Tuesday – burrr!
Rivington Foundation Primary School: Our daffodils in pots started sprouting last week, now between 1 and 4 cms. Daffodils in pots no sign yet. Probably too cold in the ground. Professor Plant: Hi Rivington Foundation Primary, I'm glad to hear your bulbs are sprouting! It is exciting to see how fast they grow once they start to show above the soil. Usually, the plants in the ground would grow first because they are slightly warmer than your plants in pots. But this depends on a number of things, such as how much frost you have had! I'm sure they will show themselves soon, maybe they are waiting for it to get a little warmer!
Chryston Primary School: Sorry but we were off for 3 days and sadly a bulb got squished because it is near the playground and a ball landed of top of it. The good news is the bulbs are starting to grow. Next week we will start recording the height of the bulbs. Prof P: Oh I am sorry to hear that you lost one of your bulbs! I hope you are all sharing so that no one is too upset – these things do happen! I'm glad to hear that your bulbs have started growing though! It's interesting to document how quickly they grow, and to see that each one grows at its own pace!
Saint Anthony's Primary School: We are enjoying taking the measurements and are delighted at how well our bulbs are progressing. Prof P: Hi Saint Anthony's Primary, I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the project. I very much enjoy studying all the weather records that are sent in. And I especially like receiving lovely comments that show me others enjoy this project as much as I do! Keep up the good work Bulb Buddies.
Glyncollen Primary School: We have had good fun so far doing spring bulbs investigation! Prof P: I'm glad you are enjoying the project Bulb Buddies! There are lots more experiments and investigations you can do if you are enjoying this one, why not have a look at the MET Office website for idea!
Saint Anthony's Primary School: We have noticed that the temperatures have recently been rising and falling. Prof P: Hi Saint Anthony's Primary, I'm glad to hear that you are studying and comparing your weather records. You have had a bit of a jump, from -2 on Wednesday to 11 on Thursday! Differences like this can result from taking readings at different times of day, as the temperature will be consistently lower in the morning than in the afternoon! This is why it's important to always try to take the readings at around the same time. However, this can also result from changes in the weather. I'm guessing it was a lot sunnier and less cloudy on Thursday compared to the rest of the week!
Our Lady of Peace Primary School: We hope our bulbs flower soon. We enjoyed planting them. Prof P: I'm sure it won't be long now Our Lady of Peace Primary! One of my Crocus plants is nearly big enough, but it will be a while yet before my other plants flower! Isn't it interesting to see that all of our plants are developing differently even though we planted them on the same day!
Keir Hardie Memorial Primary School: We have started to see that our bulbs are starting to grow. Some of our bulbs during the extremely windy weather blew over and were nearly out of the plant box and plant pot. However, we have seen some growth in a number of our plant pots and are hoping they will grow further. For the other ones that had blew over, we replanted them just in case there is any hope. This was a few weeks ago so hopefully we will see some change. Prof P: Hi Keir Hardie Memorial Primary, you did the right thing by re-planting your bulbs. I have my fingers crossed that they will still grow for you! I'm glad to hear that some of your plants have started to grow and that you are monitoring them so closely. Keep up the good work!
Glyncollen Primary School: We have had a broken thermometer on Monday and Tuesday. Professor Plant: Hi Glyncollen Primary. I'm sorry that your thermometer wasn't working. But I'm glad to see that you fixed it or got a new one, and that you still took your rain fall readings. Good work!
The Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary School: Nearly all our bulbs have shoots now the weather is a bit warmer and the mystery bulbs have buds so it looks like we may have some flowers soon. E and O. Prof P: Ooo this is exciting! Once your mystery bulbs have flowered let me know what type of plant you think they might be! Keep up the god work!
Stanford in the Vale Primary School: Another strange week with the weather....high winds, cold and heavy rain, then beautiful sunshine! Our plants in the ground look as if they could be showing signs of opening.....but the one in pots seem rather behind....so we are on constant watch! Kind Regards, Gardening Club. Prof P: Hi Stanford in the Vale Primary Gardening Club! I'm glad to hear that your plants are doing well, and that you are comparing the growth of the plants in the ground to the plants in pots. It's very interesting that these are developing differently, can you think of reasons why this might be?
Glyncollen Primary School: Some of our spring bulbs are starting to grow and our crocus! Prof P: That's good news Glyncollen Primary, keep a close eye on them now because they'll grow quickly!
Eich cwestiynau, fy atebion
13 Chwefror 2015
,Helo Gyfeillion y Gwanwyn,
Hoffwn ddymuno hanner tymor gwych i chi! Peidiwch â phoeni am eich planhigion yn ystod y gwyliau, bydd nhw'n iawn! Ond plîs gwiliwch arnynt beth gyntaf wrth gychwyn nol yn ysgol. Gall y planhigion crocws blodeuo mo gynnar a mis Ionawr, felly dylem ni disgwyl nhw yn fuan iawn!
Rwyf wedi cael jôc wych arall gan L o Thorn Primary School:
Q. Why do you call beetroot beetroot?
A. Because you have to beat the root to get them out!!
Mae mwy o ysgolion wedi anfon diweddariadau cyffrous ar eu planhigion:
Silverdale St. John's CE School: The daffodils are about 5cm tall and one of them is around about 8cm tall! Prof P: Fantastic news Silverdale St. John's CE School you must be looking after them very well!
The Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary School: This week is cold again with very frosty mornings, but we can now see some crocus shoots as well as the daffodils. The mystery bulbs have the tallest shoots. K M. Prof P: I'm excited that your Crocus plants have shown through. Isn't it interesting how different the shoots look! Keep up the good work Bulb Buddies!
Ysgol Nant Y Coed: It was a very dry week last week. Also, our daffodils are about 12-14cm tall now. Prof P: Wow Ysgol Nant Y Coed, make sure you keep a close eye on your plants! It doesn't sound like it will be long now before you see your first flowers.
Ysgol Iau Hen Golwyn: I like this job. Prof P: I'm glad to hear it! There are lots of other experiments you can try if you are enjoying this one. Try the MET Office website for some great ideas for half term: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/education/kids/things-to-do/experiments
Rivington Foundation Primary School: We think that the temperature on Tuesday,Thursday and Friday was because the sun was hitting straight on to the thermometer. Prof P: Wow Rivington Foundation Primary! What high readings for week 6! That shows summer weather in February! Well done for spotting that this is unusual and questioning why your readings are so high. I think you are right and it must be because your thermometer was in the sun and you took the readings at the warmest time of day! I suggest that you turn the thermometer slightly so it is not in direct sunlight. This will give you more accurate readings. You are well on your way to becoming Super Scientists!!
Carstairs Primary School: Unfortunately we are unable to take the temperature because our temperature monitor has went missing with all of the snow. Prof P: Wow, that must be a lot of snow you are having Carstairs Primary School! Thank you for taking the rain fall readings despite the wintery weather! I see these were high all week, did you have to take the rain gauge inside to melt the snow before taking your readings?
Hi Kirkton Primary School. Just to let you know that you've had the coldest weather reported so far for week 6 at -6ÌŠ!! Brrrrr!! And Thorn Primary School had the second warmest reading of week 6 at 13ÌŠ. I wonder how this will affect your plants! I'll be watching both of your weather records and flowering dates with interest to compare!
Mwynhewch eich gwyliau Gyfeillion y Gwanwyn!!

Car rear-ended at Montpelier roundabout
MONTPELIER A female driver was taken to the hospital Tuesday morning after her car was rear-ended by another vehicle, which fled the scene, at the U.S. Route 2 roundabout, city police said.
The woman, Susan Shontelle-Smith, of East Montpelier, was driving a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta to work around 6:20 a.m. when a vehicle crashed into her rear bumper and then fled, police said. She was taken to Central Vermont Medical Center after reporting back pain, police said. A nursing supervisor at the hospital later said she was treated and released.
The other vehicle is believed to be a two-tone or dark station wagon, police said. The male driver fled in the direction of Barre and Berlin, police said.
According to police, the woman was yielding to traffic in the roundabout at the time of the crash.

An example of the Teutonic-Calvinist approach, is the EU´s stand, not to use CO2 fixation by forests as a tool towards the goal of keeping the average temperature of the planet from increasing more than 2°C in this century. The article correctly points out that anthropogenic influence on the climate has not been proven beyond all doubt - but better save than sorry. A publication, edited by Björn Lomborg, "Smart solutions to climate change", where a number of scientists and economists came to the conclusion, that all suggested geo-engineering was way to costly, but might be an option nevertheless, if mankind does not react timely. They also concluded, that far cheaper than those geo-engineering projects thought up, using the forest factor (less forest destruction in the tropics, better management of existing forests with CO2 fixation in mind and as much afforestation as possible, where there is potential for that) will lower by 50% the bill of complying with this goal of no more heating than 2°C in this century. And 50% of that bill is no small sum. However the Teutonic-Calvinist green lot, does not want to allow the forest factor to be included in the equation, because in their opinion, suffering must be a major ingredient in the remedy of any serious illness.
I´d like to add, that according to the cited Lomborg publication, the forest factor alone, cannot be expected to make the problem go away - not it alone. But used as an addition to less release of human made green house gasses, would make the bill 50% cheaper for mankind, than by just lowering the emissions to the levels that would be neccessary without the forest factor´s help. No need to add, that Björn Lomborg has been villified by the green lot, as a heretic, since he does not show the kind of intellectual herd behaviour expected by them of a man with his background. They have marked him as a climate change denier, although he accepts the likelihood of man-induced climate change to be happening, but differs in view of how to respond to them.

Raburn returns to Detroit with red-hot Indians
Scherzer, Kluber set to take the hill as AL Central rivals face off
On Thursday morning, Indians traveling secretary Mike Seghi handed Ryan Raburn his per diem for the team's upcoming road trip. The journey begins Friday with a three-game set in Detroit, Raburn's former home.
One player asked Raburn if he would even be eating with his current teammates. Raburn joked that he planned to ditch them to have dinner with Tigers ace Justin Verlander.
The Tigers selected Raburn in the fifth round of the 2001 First-Year Player Draft. He debuted with the club in 2004, and played for them until they released him last November following a season in which he batted just .171.
"I'm pretty excited," Raburn said about facing his former club. "I'll be anxious to see some of those guys I haven't seen in a while. It's going to be fun. I'm a little nervous, but excited to be on the other side for once."
Tigers manager Jim Leyland shares in the excitement, he says.
"I'll be happy as hell to see him," Leyland said. "I like him a lot. He's a good kid, a talented kid. He had nagging injuries from time to time. He just got in a funk and didn't get out of it last year."
Raburn hasn't taken long to get acclimated to his new team. In 21 games with Cleveland, the 32-year-old is batting .329 with four homers and 11 RBIs. He said he isn't sure what reaction to expect from fans at Comerica Park this weekend, after having been booed there when his performance declined last season.
After their Thursday victory, the Indians have won 10 of their last 11 games to close within one game of first-place Detroit in the American League Central after the Tigers were swept in their two-game series against the Nationals.
"There's no extra motivation. I'm motivated every day to try to win," Raburn said. "I've developed some great relationships over there, but that doesn't mean I don't want to beat them when we go play them. It'll be fun, and hopefully we win a few ballgames."
Friday's series opener will pit Cleveland's Corey Kluber against Detroit's Max Scherzer.
Indians: Kluber eyeing third win
Kluber was tagged with the Tribe's only loss in the last 11 games, though it wasn't for a lack of effort. He held Minnesota to three runs in 5 2/3 innings on Sunday, but Cleveland's bats went silent as the Indians lost, 4-2. In four outings this season, Kluber has compiled a 2-1 record and 3.06 ERA.
• The Indians activated Michael Bourn following Thursday's game and optioned left-hander Scott Barnes to Triple-A Columbus to clear a spot on the roster.
Tigers: Scherzer seeking another strong start
Scherzer has yet to lose a game this season, and lately, the right-hander has made it look easy. Scherzer limited the Astros to one run on three hits over eight innings on Saturday during Detroit's 17-2 rout.
"He was very good, obviously," Leyland said. "But I've seen him as good or better than that. Sometimes it's a little different when you have that much of a lead to work with. You're not really maxing out like you do when you get in jams in a close game. He pitched very well and gave us some much-needed innings."
In 11 career starts against the Indians, Scherzer has posted a 5-4 record and 5.26 ERA.
Worth noting
• The Indians claimed 10 of their 18 meetings with the Tigers last season, despite being outscored, 83-68.
• After winning four straight, the Tigers now have dropped two games in a row. Overall, though, Detroit has won nine of its last 12.
• Cleveland's 102-83 mark in one-run games since 2009 ranks fourth best in the Majors.

Very sharp images . No distortion. Arrived on time and was a cinch to set up.
We are very pleased with the monitor we purchased. My husband has problems seeing and this is large enough and very small amount of glare
This monitor replaced a 19" CRT. First thing I truly love is the fact I have regained half of my desktop. The display on this monitor is great, very sharp images and contrast. I do not play very demanding games on my desktop system, however the graphics appear to be outstanding. I am very satisfied with this purchase. Delivery time was very prompt. I was surprised by how fast I received the monitor.At this time everything is operating great and couldn't be happier for the money spent. Hopefully this monitor will be with me for a long time
I bought this monitor to add to my laptop docking station. I use it for e-mail and Microsoft Office applications, as well as web browsing. The image quality is good, not exceptional, but more than adequate for the purpose this monitor was purchased. Under $100 for a monitor, I am satisfied.
Unfortunately, the monitor is not compatible with an Apple. The connections are not comaptible. I made an error in ordering.
This item was returned for replacement. The replacement was shipped quickly and works great.
This monitor was very nice for the price, it is not a top of the line monitor which is what I expected with where the price point was
Good for the price. My son is fine with it. Hasn't complained. He uses it to do office work at home and to play some games that he doesn't play on his PC.
My new monitor has a clear picture, with sharp viewing. It is 6 inches larger than the one I had. I put it on my Dell computer. Works great. Automatic sets its self for clairity.
This tv looks like it has been used, the screen and pedestal were covered with finger prints and the package appeared to have been opened , it was not a factory pack , I don"t know if it works or not as there was not a place to hook up the direct TV cable , need to make a trip to radio shak ,maybe they will have an adapter, thats a 40 mile trip un happy in Georgia

This is a great toaster. It looks really nice with all the stainless steel appliances in my kitchen. It has no problems toasting frozen items, bagels, etc. Just remember the dial correlates to the thickness of what you're toasting, not necessarily how dark you want it toasted.
Toasts everything perfectly. One of the few things I would say I would buy again.
This is a toaster looks great on the counter. Works well with stainless or black appliances. Best toaster you will ever need or want.
This toaster is the best I have ever used. It is very attractive and it performs smooth and quiet. I love it.
I wanted this toaster to match the stainless appliances in the kitchen and it does so very nicely, although it has more chrome than I would have preferred, but still okay. It's easy to use and easy to keep clean. The only negative is it toasts pretty lightly, so you have to set the setting on very dark to get medium toast. Not a big deal so overall a very nice toaster and would recommend to others.
It's a beautiful toaster...lol... I also like the multi levels it has to brown my bread, bagels and English muffins. I would recommend.
love the style,,,great addition to the kitchen. Would recommend!
It's wonderful and makes perfect toast n bagels. Does not disappoint.
The toaster is as portrayed. It is a nice addition to the kitchen. My old one looked exactly that, so having an up to date shiny, stylish one is most welcome. It works just as it should.
Looks great on my counter with our other appliances. Toasts both bagels and bread equally well and now when I make sandwiches for lunch, my husband and I can eat at the same time because I can toast 4 pieces of bread at the same time!

Coming back to a project directory after sometime elsewhere?
Need to know what the most recently modified files are?
This little function "t" is one of my most frequent commands.
I have a tcsh alias for it also:
alias t 'ls -ltch \!* | head -20'
Allows for quick mass renaming, assuming the user has some familiarity with regular expressions. Basically, it replaces the original_file_name in the output of ls with
"mv -v original_file_name new_file_name"
and passes the output to sh.
An alias i made for myself to play music in a faster way.
Works great when you have Guake / Tilda installed (Console that drops down like in the game QUAKE)
I put this in my bash_alias file (I'm on ubuntu, the bash_alias file does autostart with the right config) but it works putting it in bashrc too. Or anything that autostarts when the console is opened.
Needs Mplayer and music files to work. With out music theres nothing to play!
Oh, and also, without modification, this alias will try to play stuff from your ~/Music folder! (case sensitive). Make sure that folder exists and has music OR edit this alias to fit your needs.
If you want to operate on a set of items in Bash, and at least one of them contains spaces, the `for` loop isn't going to work the way you might expect. For example, if the current dir has two files, named "file" and "file 2", this would loop 3 times (once each for "file", "file", and "2"):
for ITEM in `ls`; do echo "$ITEM"; done
Instead, use a while loop with `read`:
ls | while read ITEM; do echo "$ITEM"; done
I often deal with long file names and the 'ls -l' command leaves very little room for file names. An alternative is to use the -h -o and -g flags (or together, -hog).
* The -h flag produces human-readable file size (e.g. 91K instead of 92728)
* The -o suppresses the owner column
* The -g suppresses the group column
Since I use to alias ll='ls -l', I now do alias ll='ls -hog'
This command will grep the entire directory looking for any files containing the list of files. This is useful for cleaning out your project of old static files that are no longer in use. Also ignores .svn directories for accurate counts. Replace 'static/images/' with the directory containing the files you want to search for.
On my music directory, I create variable that contains all mp3s files, then I play them with mpg123. -C options enable terminal control key, s for stop, p for pause, f for forward to next song.
Substitute spaces in filename with underscore, it work on the first space encountered.
This command converts filenames with embedded spaces in the current directory replacing spaces with the underscore ("_") character.
Can pipe to tail or change the awk for for file size, groups, users, etc.
This command is almost the same as 'ls -a', but it does not display the current dir (.) or parent (..)
If run in bash, this will display all executables that are in your current $PATH
This command is much quicker than the alternative of "sort | uniq -c | sort -n".
Show only the subdirectories in the current directory. In the example above, /lib has 135 files and directories. With this command, the 9 dirs jump out.

"Magnolia Blossom"
Yes, another success with this sparkling story by Ms Christie. I loved it and can highly recommend it. It was entertaining and very well performed.
"Affairs at Thrush Green"
This book is so gripping, yet gentle and inspiring. Stories of village life, detailed insights with humour into people and events. I loved it.
"Mrs Pringle"
Mrs Pringle is my favourite character in this series. I think we have all met someone like her. A solid, old busybody who is full of opinions yet kind underneath it all. This book is about her foibles, her history and an insight to her character. Fantastic. MORE PLEASE.
"Christmas mouse and No holly for Miss Quin"
These two stories were such a delight. Set in the usual english village, probably in the late forties or early fifties, the characters are described so well that one feels as though the little episodes personally involve one. The narrator has such warmth in her voice. I loved them both.
"Miss Clare remembers"
Delightful. This narrator is perfect for the book, and the charming stories of an english country village and the inhabitants is written with humour and affection. I absolutely loved it.
"Over the gate"
This charming and entertaining tale is so heartwarming. In the lovely tones of a clear English accent, the narrator takes us to the heart of English life in a village and all the characters are there with glimpses into their histories. Wonderful. I am buying the whole set of these books.
"Village diary"
This is marvellous. The humour, the events, the history. All told in wonderful tones of english diction and great sense of humour. I lived it with her, and when it ended I rushed to buy another one in the series. Fantastic.
"Pocket full of rye"
Yet again Joan Hickson's perfect clipped English diction makes for wonderful listening. She is the perfect Agatha Christie narrator and tells this story beautifully. Very well written, keeps you guessing.
"Murder at the Vicarage"
Brilliant! Joan Hickson is a gem, speaks like a real upper class English lady and creates a wonderful atmosphere for this clever tale. Thoroughly recommended.
"I capture the castle"
when I saw this was by Dodie Smith I thought it might be a childrens' book. But no: it is an adult book and an absolute gem. I loved it. The story teller is Jenny Agutter with her soft, English, cultured tones and she is perfect for the narration. The story is of the two daughters of a family and written from the perspective of one of the daughters. Highly entertaining, touching and very very well written.
"Heart of the Home"
Anne Cater is a master of audio. She brings this lovely story to life and does the voices so well. I loved this book, it was engrossing and absorbing.

so my war's finally far enough along to start pulling in trait points, but im not sure how i want to allocate them. figure i might as well go with the default pvp trait setup , since that worked well enough for my ranger.
perhaps someone had some suggestions for trait/weapon choice?
think i'll be using sword&shield + longbow, and i sort of want to stick in Strength I for reducing fall damage (cause i jump off stuff alot)

I highly, highly recommend 20 points in Discipline. For starters, 15 points gets you a faster weapon swap. If you grab Sweet Revenge, it gives you a 100% chance to rally if you kill something while in Vengeance (though summoned mobs and some other exceptions don't work).
22-11-2012, 12:45 #3
I went with 20/20/0/0/30. I'm thinking of shifting some around to try to get a bit of toughness though.
25-11-2012, 07:21 #4
It's totally up to how you like to play. There is a massive, massive difference between a glass cannon warrior and a tank-y warrior. Also weapon choice could guide you. I personally went glass cannon; the damage is just too sexah.
25-11-2012, 09:06 #5
I prefer a shout warrior; 20/0/20/30/0 gets the job done for me. Toss in some soldier's runes and you're a heal-O-matic. I currently run the build in knight's gear, good heals and damage. Cleric's also works, and I'm picking up some condition damage in Orr. What makes it great is that you can stack toughness, without writing about vitality.
That said, it really is personal preference.

Police say person
drowned in Barnet
BARNET Vermont State Police reported Wednesday night that a person is missing and presumed drowned after a canoe with three people aboard overturned on the Passumpsic River.
The incident took place at 2 p.m. Wednesday on the river near the junction of Comerford Dam Road and Route 5 in Barnet.
Police said two of the three people were able to swim to shore.

Season 7 of Gene Simmons Family Jewels, which continues the longest running celebrity family-based series on television, begins with a shocking moment for America's most traditional, non-traditional family.
After going through their most tumultuous year of their 28-year history, Gene and Shannon finally tied the knot. However, that doesn't mean all their troubles have magically gone away.
In what promises to be the most explosive season ever, Shannon decides she wants to adopt a child, and the entire family battles over her decision. Gene, Nick and Sophie are against the adoption, and for the first time in her life, Sophie is at drastic odds with her mother. Meanwhile, Gene is trying to learn to be a better husband but is still battling with his rock-star ways as Nick is striving to emulate his father's good qualities, yet finding it hard to avoid the bad ones. From the family's adoption battle, to Gene and Shannon's honeymoon in Africa (where Shannon has an ulterior motive planned), to Gene on tour for the first time as a married man, fans will have an all-access pass as America's favorite rock family unfolds personal layers of their lives that they have yet to reveal.
