I had honestly forgotten how good Picnic bars tasted so was delighted when I tucked into one (straight from the fridge) yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. I saw packs of 3 in our local corner shop for just £1 so decided to treat myself as I had had a very stressful week and felt I deserved some chocolate so it was a quid well spent.
Cadbury's, in my opinion, make some of the best tasting milk choc out there for the price and these Picnic bars have a generous amount of coating on them which tastes creamy and not at all bitter. Once you bite into them you get a really pleasant peanut, caramel and raisin blend of textures and flavours which tick all my boxes. The combination makes these bars far more interesting than just plain chocolate and because you need to chew each bite they take longer to eat and make you feel more satisfied.
Each bar comes as shown in the Dooyoo picture only in real life the colours seem brighter and more enticing and each one contains 230 calories. I had one as a meal replacement reckoning that a sandwich would be around the same calories but this is not something I would normally do because there is a shocking amount of fat (10.5g) and a whopping 22.9g sugar and nothing much in the way of nutritional value. However, I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed my Picnic and enjoyed every mouthful and am just resisting the temptation as I write this to open another one.
I cannot really compare these to any other chocolate bar because they seem unique. OK there are others on the market which contain sultanas, peanuts and raisins such as Yorkies but Picnics seem to have a taste and knobbly texture unlike any other bars I have come across. They have been around for many years because I remember enjoying these when I was a kid but still have the same yummy taste and texture which I have always enjoyed.
I hope that McColls finish their 3 for £1 offer soon because I am very tempted to stock up!
Cadbury's Picnic
What Is A Picnic
Well a Picnic is a chocolate bar created by Cadbury back in 1958 which is still being sold in shops to this day! The Picnic contains peanuts, raisins held together with wafer and caramel and all of that covered over by Cadbury's famous milk chocolate.
What To Love About A Picnic
I personally love the Picnic and it has always been my favourite chocolate bar, there is something about it that just has everything you need in a chocolate bar. As soon as you bite into the chocolate bar you get a mouthful of everything in the bar which is the crunchy peanuts, juicy raisins, crispy wafer, chewy caramel with Cadbury's creamy milk chocolate all combined together in one bite which gives off all these sweet crunchy nutty flavours in your mouth which leaves you wanting more!

I personally would recommend this chocolate to any chocolate lover, Cadbury chocolate fan or any one who loves chocolate which has peanuts and raisins in, you will not be disappointed!
Cadbury's picnic have been around as long as I can remember, as I was partial to them as a child (a long time ago!). They are pretty much my favourite chocolate bar, hence me writing a review; I want to encourage others to try them, who may as yet not have ventured as far as a picnic, or wondered what in fact it really is!
On opening the wrapper, you are greeted with a nobbly, interestingly shaped bar, covered in smooth, shiny, delicious cadbury's chocolate. On first bite, you will notice caramel, crispy cereal, raisins and peanuts all encapsulated in the amazing chocolate. It really is a perfect combination which provides a taste sensation.
Being a fitness fanatic, these are great pre or post workout and frankly nutritionally as good as any specific 'sports bar' and a damn site tastier! The thing I love most about them, is that unlike some chocolate bars, these always seem to hit the spot. Some chocolate is too much straight chocolate, which essentially is a massive hit of fat and sugar, whereas with the picnic bar, the balance of chocolate with the other ingredients and textures is satisfying and substantial but also light if that makes sense.
I make packed lunch daily for myself and my husband and always put a chocolate bar in for a treat. So we do not get bored with eating the same things I try and vary all the items, including the chocolate bar. I am also a bargain hunter and hate paying full price for anything so when I spotted multi-packs of Cadbury's Picnic bars on offer in Asda I quickly snapped a pack up as it is a chocolate bar that I normally overlook and had not had for some time.
The picnic bars are made by Cadburys and are bars of milk chocolate with a caramel, peanut, crispy cereal and raisin centre. I purchased a multi-pack containing four 48.4g picnic bars for just £1.00. I thought that this was great value working out at just £0.25 per bar as if purchased individually can cost upwards of £0.60 depending upon the stores pricing.
The individual picnic bars come packaged in a purple wrapper which is the signature colour of Cadburys. The front of the wrapper is quite eye catching with the work 'picnic' written in bubble writing with raisins and peanuts which appear to be exploding out of the wording. There is also the Cadbury's logo and a little bubble on the front telling you that the bar contains 230 calories. On the back of the wrapper you can find more detailed information including ingredients listings, nutritional information, item description and allergy advice.
Opening the bar is really easy to do by simply tearing one of the jaggered edges at the end of the wrapper. When you reveal the bar it is very uneven as you can see where the raisins and peanuts are under the chocolate covering. When you bite into the bar you get a lovely combination of flavours and textures of all the different ingredients in the bar. The cereal pieces offer a lovely crispiness and help the bar to seem quite light still while the peanuts also offer a crunchy texture. Then you have the juicy raisins and chewy caramel all covered in the delicious, creamy Cadbury's dairy milk chocolate.
Overall I really enjoyed eating these picnic bars they are very different to a lot of Cadbury's other chocolate bars. It was nice to have a good combination of different ingredients and they all worked together perfectly to make this a very yummy chocolate bar.
The world of confectionary is dominated by one name in the UK, Cadburys. They have a massive range of chocolate based products and the reason they're so popular is because on the whole they make quality chocolate bars. While I myself have a more savoury than sweet tooth I would still say that amongst sweet things, Cadburys is one of my favourite brands.
Even the most perfect companies must have a few duds within their mighty range, and for me Picnic is one such dud.
Picnics are a right old mix of chocolate, peanuts, nougat, caramel, puffed rice and biscuit. They could best be described as the frankenstein of the chocolate world. Bulbous and bumpy, first impressions were not very good, but aesthetics always come a mile behind taste so I won't write it off before tasting it.
The rustic style of the picnic goes deeper than just the look of it, it also effects the eating experience to. There are so many big chunky bits of things that it's a real chore to eat, I wouldn't reccomend putting one in the fridge for example as you will end up chipping a tooth or dislocating your jaw in the process.
I wish they'd made the picnic smaller and thinner, as I like all the ingredients it contains, and the contrasting textures are very interesting, it's just too much of animal for one man to tame (I did have mine straight out of the fridge but I still think it would an effort to eat even at room temperature).
Perhaps if you're a welder or axe murderer then this would be the chocolate bar for you, but I found it too knobbly and too hard to eat. It did nothing for me that I haven't found better in other Cadbury's products.
I am unsure how long the Picnic has been going, but I'm sure it must be 30 years or so. I certainly remember eating one when I was younger.
The Picnic is a chocolate bar made by Cadbury and is a favourite of mine. So what does it consist of?
Well the Picnic bar seems to be full of everything. It is such a mixture, it is hard to explain. It is certainly covered in yummy Cadbury milk chocolate. Upon biting into it you can also taste rice krispies, caramel and peanuts.
It appears to be mixed with a sweet caramel substance, and is extremely chewy. It is a sweet chocolate bar, and extremely tasty. The ingredients certainly compliment each other very well. The outside of the bar looks very lumpy, and certainly isn't smooth.
Unlike certain other chocolate I have reviewed I really do find that this bar is not very filling, and is in fact quite moreish. I certainly find that one is never enough for me, and I am always wanting another, or something else as well.
You don't really see this bar advertised a lot, but one advert in the early 2000's described it as deliciously ugly, which sums up what I said above really.
So what about calories I hear you ask? Well expect 225kcal per 48.4g bar and 11.1g of fat, which isn't particularly healthy but what chocolate bars are? Also expect to chew out about 50p for a singular bar or about £1.00 for a multipack of 3. This bar offers a different kind of chew. Ideal for older children or grown ups - but not so much younger children because of the nuts.
Highly Recommended!!

Picnics are best known for being the ones that are left at the bottom of a box / tin of cadbury's heroes. However despite this I really like picnic bars.
They are filled with sufficient peanuts to give those with allergies an adverse reaction at 20 feet as well as nougat, caramel, biscuit and puffed rice. They have a chewy texture with crunchy chunks inside and has a taste which is not dissimilar to tiffin combined with cadbury caramel bars.
Overall I really like these bars but I would have to say that they can cause problems to some with irritable gums as well as irritating those with cavities or fillings.
I should emphasise that you should be very careful with these bars if you are around anyone with a peanut allergy as reactions can be extreme. These bars are suitable for vegetarians but not for vegans becuse of the milk.
Picnic is always a bar that I have ignored. I am not sure why as I rather like the substantial bars like Mars, Snickers and so on so I don't know why I never chose one of these of the thousand times I have eaten chocolate bars. These are about 50p in the shops or in a three pack for a pound in Savers or Poundland and so on.
A Picnic bar is a very happening bar in all senses. The first thing I noticed about this bar was the packaging. Chocolate bar packaging is normally one or perhaps two colours. This is a real mixture of colours and shapes. On the traditional purple Cadbury wrapper is a red background with the product name on it in bug bubble writing and in the background, peanuts and raisins are flying about.
The texture of the bar is extremely bumpy and haphazard due to the presence of the nuts and fruit inside it but this adds to the charm that they haven't packed it into a standard cuboid shape. This mixes milk chocolate, cereal pieces, nuts, raisins, and to hold it all together caramel so you manage to pack lots of different chocolate bar types into one.
I found these fantastically chewy and liked the blend of tastes, textures and shapes. No one taste seemed to dominate the other and I think each flavour was given an equal part to play. This is a properly filling bar that you could use to keep you full for a short while rather than a bar that is more about the flavour than any attempt to be filling.
I will definitely buy this again.
Picnic is another new taste from the world class and world famous cadbury's brand. It is a new idea and could be trying to oppose the highly successful snickers bar, which has become one of it's main rivals.
Taste 10/10
It consists of nut, nougat and chocolate, which is held together by caramel. The ingredients give the resulting light and original taste. It is a lot lighter than it's snickers counterpart. The nuts are great and add much needed texture to the bar and makes it different from other types of chocolate.
Price 10/10
Picnic is simply a mid ranged priced bar, typically 50p a bar in most news agents. It is neither cheaper or more expensive compared to other rivals, so you can't rewally go wrong.
Packaging 10/10
The picnic bar is prodominently purple which gives it a happy and joyful feel. This also means that it really stands out on the shelf.
Overall the picnic bar is surprisingly tasty and a great buy.
As I am up in Edinburgh for a couple of weeks whilst Dave is working up here we went to the shopping centre at Livingston over the weekend and couldn't resist popping into the Cadbury's shop there. Well I feel it would have been rude not to! LOL!
I did want to get a box of Cadbury's Crème Eggs ready for my sister's birthday in April and I thought I would get them for a good price here - that's my excuse for going in and I am sticking to it! Before any of you cynics think the box of Crème Eggs won't make it until April they are quite safe with me as I find them a bit sickly myself!
Anyway whilst we were in there I noticed the packs of Picnic priced at three for just £1 so that was my treat!
The Picnic bar comes in a wrapper coloured with the immediately recognisable Cadbury purple with the Cadbury logo on the front. The word Picnic is written across an explosion of peanuts and raisins showing what you can expect in the bar.
The bar is covered in Cadbury's milk chocolate and looks rough and knobbly due to the nuts and fruit under the chocolate. Incidentally it is apparently marketed in Australia as 'deliciously ugly'! I like that one!
As you bite into the bar the mixture of nuts, fruit, chocolate and the crispy chewy caramel inside meet in a delicious taste in the mouth. The various textures and tastes mix perfectly for a real chewy treat and of course the fact that the chocolate is Cadbury's just adds to the overall pleasure for me.
I find that the standard sized bar is just right for me - I think any more and it would begin to get a bit much and it certainly wouldn't be good for my health!
Moving on from that last comment - for every positive there is a negative and here that is the calories and fat!
The standard 48.4g bar contains 225 calories 99 of which come from the fat within the bar. The total fat in the bar is 11.1g and the total amount of carbohydrate is 28.6g which is mainly sugar.
From this information it is easy to see that, whilst Picnic bars are lovely, they must only be enjoyed as an occasional treat.
I have eaten all three of mine now and intend to give up chocolate for Lent. I give in to temptation far too often so it will do me good to go without for a while - wish me luck!
By the way I do hope that the new owners of Cadbury's don't start messing about with these lovely traditional chocolate bars or they will have some very unhappy customers to deal with!
Recently, i went to the corner shop and i spotted the picnic bar. I had never tried it before so i decided to try it out and was quite impressed.
So what is the picnic bar? The picnic bar is a chocolate bar made by the world famous Cadburys chocolae company. It is formed of a mixture of peanuts, raisins, nougat, biscuit, puffed rice balls, and of course caramel which holds it all together. Then all of this is surrounded by a layer of Cadburys world famous chocolate.
I like this chocolate bar for many reasons. Firstly, it tastes great the mixture of ingredients actually work quite well and the chocolate simply tastes fantastic.
Secondly, i like the packaging. I know this chocolate bar has been out for quite a few years but it still has its original packaging. It is very colourful and attractive.
However the only thing that lets this chocolate bar is its actual apperence the mixture of ingredients gives it a very bumpy appearence which does not look very appetizing.
Cadburys Picnics are up there as one of my favourites, I think its due to the caramel and raisins combination. Not something you would really pick up off the shelf, as it probably seems like one of those you would not be too sure what is actually in it as the wrapper nor the name really helps to answer this.
The look?
A very nobbly looking bar of chocolate, a layer chewy caramel and wafer then surrounded in nuts and raisins and coated in milk chocolate. Once you bite in you will see all the ingredients before your very eyes as very visible. You will see the raisins and peanuts and the caramel.
Around 49 pence for the standard sized picnic bar.
About the Taste?
Very chewy and lots of flavours going on all at once, the crunchy nuts and the soft chewy caramel mixed with the raisins make for a really great tasting bar. The nicest thing is the raisin and caramel combo I really think this works once it hits the old taste buds. A really great taste all round
225 kcal per bar, this works out at 460 kcal per 100 grams. About average for most chocolate bars. Fat is 23 grams per 100 grams and is red in the traffic lights.
Great tasting, beware as this does have nuts in it
Oh I hadnt had one of these in ages! But then when I was checking the kitchen this morning for something to eat I found my mom had brought a pack of three Picnic's for me and my brother, so I had to get down to eating one right away! If Im honest they werent as nice as I remember and even though I would eat/buy them again they are by no means my favourite chocolate!
So Whats In A Picnic Bar:
Well as it is a chocolate bar you may have guessed yes it does contain chocolate (suprising I know hehe). Inside the chocolate are nuts and raisins which are all held together with very sticky caramel. So as you can imagine this bar is very sweet and sugary perfect for those like me who have a little sweet tooth.
Well as Ive just mentioned this chocolate does taste VERY sweet! And it is perfect if your looking for a quick sugar fix or are just fancying that all importand chocolate fix! Im always at a loss when it comes to describing the taste of certain foods but with this I will say the caramel does get extremley sickly after a few bites so much so I can only manage about half a bar at a time without feeling sick! Also if Im completely honest I coudlnt really taste the nuts, I knew they were there but all the other flavours of the chocolate over powered the taste of the nuts.
Nutritional Information:
Calories: A whopping 225!
Total Fat: 11.1g
Total Carbohydrates:28.6
So it is a lot to fit inside a small bar! Definatley not one to eat everyday then!!
Overall Opinion:
Whilst they are not my favourite chocolate is certainly isnt the worst either. And while I think the calories are a LOT for a bar of chocolate I think if you just eat them once in a while it should be fine and you wont turn into the size of a house! So great for a once in a while treat but by no means and everyday snack. The flavours in the bar are very nice but I was disappointed I couldnt really taste the nuts or the little cereal bits (which I didnt even know were in there!!) so the caramel does make it very sickly and a little to sweet for me, so it's only half a bar at a time when I do decide to eat one. Recommended for anyone with a sweet tooth and maybe even as a little treat for those who havent.
Cadbury's Picnic chocolate bar is sold in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland & India. It is made in the UK as has been around since the 1970's. The bar contains Cadbury's Dairy Milk Chocolate covering chewy nougat, peanuts, biscuit, caramel and puffed rice. The bars in the UK also contain raisins.
Cadbury recently altered the weight of the bars down from 50.0 grams to 48.4 grams. Tightwads! You can buy the bar individually or in multi packs.
I really like this chocolate bar. Because of all the different ingredients it has an unual texture which has soft, chewy & crunchy components. The Dairy Milk chocolate has a good sweet & creamy flavour. The caramel is chewy & is wrapped around the raisins & nuts helping to keep them together. I love chocolate covered raisins too & think they are a great combination & this is one of the few chocolate bars that has raisins in it.
I would recommend this bar because of the unusual combination of ingredients. Plenty of chocolate bars a crunchy or soft, but not many bars offer so many ingredients with some many different textures. Everything goes really well together & the bar tastes great!
Munching my way through chocolates bars I don't usually have has lead me to a Picnic in a pretty little park with some bears and some white fluffy clouds with a wonderful sunshine and a gorgeous landscape that would rival any fairy tal...oh ok no I'm sat in my bed room feeling every so slightly let down as the wind hurls around my house whistling and I realise I was in a day dream. Though I do have a Picnic which I genuinely haven't tried before.
The bar comes in a plastic wrapper with a purple background and white letter in the foreground with a peanut and raisin explosion between the fore and back to try and make the bar look both alive and yet also like a Carbury's chocolate bar. The wrapper was generally attractive but nothing outstanding, it was more the fact I hadn't tried it before that lead to me buying them. I say haven't tried it, but I do remember the miniature ones from some Celebrations of Hero's or something like that, I was never a fan of them and they always got left by everyone in the house, so if their anything to go by this isn't going to be great.
Upon opening it the bar appeared to have chocolate covered acne of the highest order, almost looking like it needed spot treatment rather than eating, and sadly in the middle of the bar some caramel style stuff had seemed out and was stuck onto the bar like a horrible mess and stuck the wrapper to the bar. Not the most pleasing or attractive thing to look at it must be said. However it's the taste that matters, not looks (would thankfully work for me as I look bloody terrible as well)
So after deciding looks weren't what mattered the most I dug in with a nice hefty mouthful and was pleasantly surprised to find out it tasted really decently. The chocolate contained a concoction of Raisins, Peanuts and Caramel to create quite a chewy sensation in the mouth and a sweet and yet nutty taste that was brilliant. It just seemed to be lacking the amount of caramel I was hoping for, though I'm thinking it tried to leg it away then realised their was a wrapper and it gave up and died on my bar. I'll assume this as one of the ends had the same problem as the middle bit did. Though throughout the taste was delightful, much better than any Picnics I've had (both the ones in parks and the small miniature sweets).
The bar if you want to compare it to anything else is like a poor man's snickers with out the nougat and with raisins instead, and with out the good looks...yeah a bit of a nerdy ugly Snickers wannabe.
Nutritional Information (per bar)

Sorry "May contain traces of nuts"...so what...we're the things masquerading as peanuts if the bar may only "contain traces of" nuts...This is a little bit bizarre isn't it?
Anyway the bar is likeable as a taste but not great, it did seem lacking in the caramel department which is always a shame on these sorts of bars as caramel is a wonderful filling. The look of the bar really can not be forgotten, it really looks unappealing but don't be fooled by looks otherwise you'll miss out on a really nice chocolate bar that is worth trying, even if it won't be a regular thing especially not at around 50p.

3½ stars (out of four)
Besides being the best American comedy since "The 40 Year-Old Virgin," "Thank You For Smoking" is the first film in a long time with a true gift of gab. A lot of the time people actually talk fast in it. Its wisecracks actually crack wise.
Maybe I'm the only one on the planet who wonders why comedies don't move the way they used to, or why most contemporary directors can't move things along without making them cartoonishly broad. It has taken fledgling director/screenwriter Jason Reitman exactly one feature film to figure it out. The result is a tight, swift yet relaxed adaptation of the 1994 Christopher Buckley novel. It goes a little squishy in the Reitman-expanded scenes between tobacco industry lobbyist Nick Naylor and his preteen son. Yet even those scenes deliver their share of felicities. Early on young Joey (Cameron Bright) asks his father, Nick (Aaron Eckhart, coming fully alive on screen for the first time), what makes America the greatest country in the world. Quick as a blink comes Nick's reply: "Our endless appeals system."
Nick is the official silken-blather mouthpiece for the Academy of Tobacco Studies, a cigarette-funded shrine to the power and the glory of the lobby industry. Big Tobacco is under siege. Teen smoking has taken a dive and the academy's not happy. A deadly earnest Vermont senator (William H. Macy, in Birkenstocks) wants the scariest possible warning labels affixed to each cigarette pack.
Played by Eckhart with wily charm and the righteousness of a missionary, the divorced Nick is dispatched from Washington, D.C., to Hollywood to persuade a studio mogul (Rob Lowe) to amp up cigarette-related product placement in movies. He brings his son on the trip. While out west, Nick and Joey pay a visit to a former Marlboro Man (Sam Elliott) who is dying of cancer. At this point Nick feels his first job-related conscience pang.
At this point, a big-budget, major-studio adaptation of "Thank You For Smoking" would have Nick begin to see the error of his ways. The character would redeem himself, and a satiric work would transform, by degrees, into a heartwarming one. Reitman's film doesn't work that way. It's not cold--it's designed and photographed in warm tones, in fact--and it may smooth an edge or two off Buckley's original. But the film has a visual snap to go with the verbal crackle, which was the one thing "40 Year-Old Virgin" lacked.
My favorite scenes are the least plot-dependent. Nick has a standing dinner date in a Naugahyde steak-and-martini emporium with his fellow "merchants of death," alcohol lobbyist Polly Bailey (Maria Bello) and firearms lobbyist Bobby Jay Bliss (David Koechner). It's their place to unwind, bitch about their troubles, brag about how many citizens their particular product kills off in a calendar year. They sound harsh, but the scenes play like low-keyed comic honey.
With one exception--as an ethically challenged newspaper reporter, Katie Holmes lacks a certain merry two-faced quality--Reitman's cast is a series of hand-in-glove ringers. In addition to the aforementioned, Robert Duvall enjoys a couple of ripe and mellow scenes as "The Captain," a mentholated icon of the Old South and better Big Tobacco days. It's Eckhart's show, though, along with Reitman's. The director, who is the son of Ivan "Ghostbusters" Reitman, has cited Alexander Payne ("Sideways," "Election") as having a low-budget, high-freedom career to envy. On the basis of "Thank You For Smoking," Reitman can have it if he wants it.

Centers for Disease Control "West Nile Virus Activity -- Eastern United States"
PHM Powerpoint Presentation: West Nile Virus: Poultry Perspective
The following is some background information on submissions for West Nile Virus diagnosis from Dr. John Barnes:
It is likely West Nile Virus will become endemic in North Carolina this summer...increased mortality and occurrence of central nervous system signs in wild birds, especially crows, related corvids (blue jays, blackbirds, etc.), and raptors, will be the first indication of virus activity in the area...cases in horses, people, and other mammals may follow. Approximately 60 birds from NC have been submitted to the Federal Wildlife Laboratory in Madison WI this year...results on approximately half of these have been negative, but no results from the past 3 wks are yet available. A call was received in the Dean's office Monday reporting mortality in wild birds in a housing area in Apex (a cardinal with CNS signs was captured and submitted for examination) and I just found a blackbird with severe CNS signs in my neighbor's yard this morning (I live in Medfield which is between Cary and Raleigh). There are other causes of CNS signs besides WNV infection...most commonly trauma or poisoning. Please be on the lookout for dead birds or ones behaving strangely (inability to fly, incoordination, rolling, somersaulting, etc.). Ignore those with an obvious cause of death (e.g. in the grill of your car, flattened on the road, hanging from kitty's mouth, etc.) although clinically affected birds are more prone to predation and collision trauma. Live affected birds or freshly dead suspect ones should be submitted to the Public Health Dept Division of Pest Management (contact Drs. Nolan Newton or Barry Enger, 733-6407). They have an excellent website (listed below) that provides information on what to do and how to do it including a submission form. You may want to bookmark this in case you are contacted and asked about the procedure for submitting animals for diagnosis. At present they are being selective in what they submit so as not to overwhelm the system...crows have the highest priority. BIRDS should NOT be submitted to the Rollins Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory. However, MAMMALS with CNS signs SHOULD BE submitted to the Rollins ADDL so they can be examined for possible rabies, equine encephalitis, etc. in addition to WNV. It wouldn't hurt to also check around your home and nearby vacant areas and empty anything you can that has water in it. Even small amounts like that in a tin can can produce large numbers of mosquitoes. Be sure to take appropriate measures to minimize getting bitten with mosquitoes as well. With all of the moisture and increased temperatures recently a mosquito 'bloom' is expected.
Let me know if I can help with anything or if you have further questions (x36273).

It's Oscar time for Terrence Howard
If you thought the Screen Actors Guild Awards was star-jammed on Sunday, you should have snuck behind the scenes to Karen Wood's Backstage Creations SAG Talent Retreat.
That's the lavishly decorated celeb-only room where the stars gather before, during and after the show to chat, have a glass of bubbly or just relax from the awards pressure. Of course, another major reason to do the retreat is to get lots of free stuff from merchants displaying star swag in the room.
"Matador" star Pierce Brosnan admired Amouage fragrance from an Irish perfumer. The handmade bottles are so cool they're the only perfume bottle in the Smithsonian. Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria (hanging on squeeze Tony Parker) loved Shu Uemura cosmetics, also used on the "Desperate Housewives" set. "Entourage" star Jeremy Piven picked up some Phyto hair product for his limping locks. "This is good stuff," he pronounced. Yeah, baby. Hug it out.
"Crash" star Terrence Howard, looking hot in his D&G duds, felt so at-home that he hung out in the retreat until his category was called. Then he ran out, helped picked up the award for best ensemble cast and returned with "Crash" costar Don Cheadle, who was limping from an unexplained foot injury. Cheadle took a seat on a cream colored sofa, holding the carved wooden cane he'd bought in Kenya.
After picking up a blue Le Vian watch to match his suit, Howard, nominated today for a best actor Oscar for his lead role in "Hustle & Flow," tried to buy the B&W photos by Wall Kandy for his new house. Then he got so excited about a free trip to the Starwood Resort — the St. Regis on Bora Bora — that he announced he was booking his trip the very next day. Better wait until after the Oscars on March 5, Terrence. Angela Bassett drooled over the Bora Bora beach trip too but Ed Harris and his wife Amy Madigan were the most enthusiastic. And impatient. Harris suggested, "Let's leave tonight!"
Take me with you. Please.

SOUND OFF: Can the Spurs do it again in Game 4?
San Antonio Spurs break NBA Finals records in Game 3
The San Antonio Spurs made 75.8 percent of their shots in the first half of Tuesday night's 111-92 victory over the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals.
Kawhi Leonard had his best night ever, with a career-high 29 points.
The win puts the Spurs up 2-1 in the series. If they can steal Game 4 in Miami, they could clinch the title at home on Sunday night.
Do you expect a similar outcome in Thursday's Game 4?

Pruning. Prune roses when they break dormancy in late winter or early spring; in climates with cold winters, this is around the time forsythia blooms. Take out dead wood and weak growth, and then shape the plant based on its garden use. Roses used as hedges or screens can be pruned to a tall, upright form, and groundcover roses pruned to control height. Just don't try to keep a naturally tall-growing rose short, or it will sulk. That's why choosing roses for their size at maturity is so important.
Shaping. Throughout the growing season, you can trim garden roses lightly to keep them in shape, just like any other flowering shrub.
Feeding. Although the marketers of garden roses sometimes suggest they can get by on as little as one annual application of fertilizer, I find that they benefit from a regular feeding schedule. At pruning time in late winter, I put down a layer of compost around the roses. When the first set of tiny leaves appears, I apply an organic granular fertilizer. The brand I use has a nutrient analysis of 7-2-12. For an extra boost during the flowering season, I use a seaweed-based foliar spray every 2 to 4 weeks. It's great for plant nutrition and a healthy immune system. In late summer when the nights turn cool, I apply 4-4-2 granular fertilizer. Discontinue feeding roses a month before the first-frost date.
Mulching. Put down an inch of organic mulch every spring. I use hardwood mulch. Don't rake out old mulch, which will break down over time to enrich the soil. Mulch helps to keep the soil evenly moist—essential for healthy roses.
Renewing. As garden roses mature, periodically remove the oldest canes—those that are woody, barked over, and nonproductive—by cutting them to ground level at late-winter pruning time. This selective thinning will spur fresh growth.

Despite Koran burning cancellation, peaceful protests ensue in Gainesville
Kate Bradshaw
WMNF Drive-Time News Monday | Listen to this entire show:
Pastor Terry Jones did not burn any copies of the Muslim holy book in Gainesville Saturday, but that didnât stop scores of peaceful demonstrators from coming to town. Amid an amped-up police presence, a reported 300 people carried signs and chanted messages of peace and tolerance across the street from Jonesâs church.
University of Florida student Lila Jonas is with the sorority Alpha Epsilon Phi. She came out with her sorority sisters to stand in solidarity with Muslims.
She said the kind of bigotry that nearly went on display at the Dove World Outreach Center Saturday is unfathomable in this day and age.
The Gainesville Sun reports that Saturdayâs demonstration was relatively event free. Police records reportedly show one person was arrested for trespassing on a property near the controversial church.comments powered by Disqus

Few things in paleontology generate as much speculation, and ridicule, as the arms of Tyrannosaurus rex. In a culture where bigger is confused with better, we cant seem to get our heads around why such a large predator would have such small forelimbs. Most puzzling of all is that the dinosaurs arms were not vestigialthey were muscular appendages that must have had some function. But what?

The INSP News Service is one of the key member services of the International Network of Street Papers. It provides editorial support to street papers - to build their capacity and increase their sales - so that tens of thousands of homeless vendors can earn a living and improve their lives.
The INSP News Service provides free content and translation to street papers. It circulates content from within the network and external media partners. It also adds value to street papers by using INSP's unique position to create exclusive content. INSP journalists detect and report on global trends relating to homelessness and social justice, and secure support from high profile contributors.
In 2012, street papers used over £600,000 worth of INSP material - over ten times the operational cost of the service itself!
But the INSP News Service does more than change the world for people in poverty. It also changes perceptions of millions of readers, by putting a human face on homelessness and building relationships across social boundaries. It offers a refreshing outlet that is focused on positive change for the world.
Find out more in this video, introduced by INSP Honorary President David Schlesinger (Managing Director, Tripod Advisors, former Editor-in-Chief, Reuters News) and INSP Ambassador Jon Snow (Channel 4 News).
Street papers exist to tackle homelessness and poverty. Vendors buy their street paper or magazine at 50% of the cover price and sell them on at a profit to generate an income.
Street papers are also distinctive and quality independent media. With a global readership of over 6 million per edition they challenge public perceptions of poverty and social injustice in towns and cities around the world.
In addition to employment, many street papers offer their vendors on-going support and access to practical training resources and social services.
Sustainable urbanisation is one of the most pressing challenges facing us in the 21st century. Due to the economic crisis there are increasing numbers of people around the world who are homeless and unemployed. At the same time, there is an urgent need for media freedom and pluralism to counter government restrictions and monopoly tendencies.
Street papers address these needs by providing innovative solutions to unemployment and poverty, whilst also addressing the need for independent media. They provide employment and training to people in poverty, whilst their unique distribution channel puts a human face on homelessness and builds relationships across social boundaries.
This is a concept that works.
Visit the INSP website for a full list of INSP street papers from around the world.

"This music is way too Meatpacking," he said, in reference to the Meatpacking District, a Manhattan neighborhood with a reputation for expensive drinks, inebriated tourists and paparazzi.
But that was to be expected. The critic in question was a "Yelper"--an avid member of the user-generated business reviews site Yelp, home to many a nitpicking hipster. And he likely wasn't the only one at the party willing to openly criticize the music selections, because this was an official Yelp party, and everyone in attendance was a Yelper.
Online social networking has become a mainstay of the Digital Age, and it's now evident that Internet fads can appear and disappear faster than you can say "Friendster." As a result, some sites are turning to a new strategy to keep their services "sticky" and their users satisfied: They're not just encouraging them to network online, but to attend offline events and parties in the real world as well. Yelp now regularly hosts parties in big cities around the country.
Now smaller start-ups are trying use the offline-online hybrid model to gain momentum against community heavyweights like Yelp and Meetup.
Recently relaunched Going, for example, is a "social-event calendar" that aggregates announcements, encourages members to network with each other online beforehand, and lets them maintain profiles with favorite events and photo galleries.
The invite-only I'm In Like With You, having forsaken the passive "friend request" in favor of bidding games that require one member to "win" another member's game before the two can contact each other, is a growing destination for finding dates and happy hour buddies. I'm In Like With You founder Charles Forman didn't plan to have offline gatherings--the users took that into their own hands.
"In San Francisco, I think there have been two I'm In Like With You meetups already," Forman said. "They didn't invite us, but they asked us for free T-shirts," he added jokingly. The site, which is only a few months old, hasn't had any official offline gatherings yet, but Forman said it's something he'd like to do.
The online-offline hybrid model arguably started with New York-based Meetup, founded in 2002, which rose to fame when the tech-savvy campaign team for Democratic presidential hopeful Howard Dean used it as a tool to mobilize groups of local supporters.
Being Web-savvy is no longer isolating. To Yelp's young-professional user base, the site is a potent social tool as well as a way to kvetch about annoying waiters and bad food.
"Most of the Yelpers I have met know when the best concerts are happening, know the best lounges--the ones that are really good, not just the trendy junk--ad infinitum," a Yelper named Adrian who attended the party said in an e-mail.
Even five years ago, it would be laughable to think of going online as a means to boost social knowledge and meet "in the know" people, unless the "know" in question involved fringe politics, Star Trek or one of the other geeky subcultures that proliferated with the Internet's rise.
Now, thanks to the mainstreaming of online dating and MySpace.com profiles, many people no longer consider it awkward or embarrassing to extend their social networking into the real world.
"Most of (my friends) are in the online world, like on MySpace, so they can understand," said a Yelper named Crystal when asked if her non-Yelper friends found the site's online-offline modus operandi to be odd at all. "I've invited a few of my non-Yelp friends to Yelp events, and they totally meshed with Yelpers."
But another Yelper named Jax said her friends still have yet to catch on. They "think it's weird; they don't understand why we can be so supportive of each other, like going to shows and having dinner together."

- Cutting out the middle man in social networks
- the social middle man is undobtably love.
love is narrow schisophrenic and of no use.
When you look at a successful couple it's the compassion that keeps them going.
There love is of near non exsistance but they can still be of a very sexual nature to each other with greate compassion.
Compassion allows the mind to see and feel with all understanding.
Love is fear ridden and usless and is the base of control.
Compassion is of workng with the natural makeup.
Love is hiding away from it.
love swings blocking out our mind.
compassion gives you understanding and reaches far beyond the social ignorance of gender.
Theres loads that social networks can do now to premote compassion whereas with love you'll end up all trying to get a peice of the pie.

Green Gators: There's More to University of Florida
Gators than Just Football...
A few weeks ago, on a rainy evening I traveled to Gainesville to speak to an action-oriented student group, Gators for a Sustainable Campus. To help them with their garden plot at the University's community garden, they wanted me to talk to them about growing vegetables.
I brought my basket of vegetables and my "Edible Garden" PowerPoint, but I was not expecting much of a turnout because of bad weather-a tail of tropical storm Ida was raging through the area. But more than 40 students came, paid attention, and asked great questions. One student even bought a book for her mother's birthday present. I was impressed.
Looking at their last year's carrot harvest, I'd say that they already know what they are doing in an organic garden. What better way to be sustainable than to grow your own crops to eat. Sometimes the delicious vegan snacks served at their meetings are made from their own veggies.
I just love the old bedspring, held aloft with three PVC tubes and a stick, and used as an arbor in the next plot behind the students. It made me laugh, because I'm pretty sure I've not slept on such a bedspring since my own college days so many decades ago and it's certainly an apt symbol of a "garden bed.".
This group meets twice a month and actively seeks opportunities for outreach on campus, at events, and in the local community. The student have their green PowerPoint presentations, banner, brochures, and other educational materials. They are ready to enthusiastically spread the word whenever and wherever they can.
While these Gators like football as much as the next student, they've also seen a green opportunity in the football community. They started a Tail-Gator Recycling program to provide recycling services for tailgating parties on and off campus for all home football games. Isn't it great that all those tailgate beverage containers won't hit the landfills?
These students helped a local elementary school to set up a better recycling program and to institute a more sustainable lunch program. This school will now be the model for all of Alachua County's schools.
Gators for a Sustainable Campus pushes students to reduce their consumption and is the driving force behind University of Florida's participation in RecycleMania, a nation-wide contest that challenges schools to increase on-campus recycling.
Gators for a Sustainable Campus is affiliated with the university's Office of Sustainability and boasts nearly 500 members, but it's not the only group pushing for more sustainable practices. Sustainability is supported by at least fifteen student groups across campus, student government, and student senate. The senate passed a resolution honoring the office and its commitment to promoting sustainability in 2007. The fraternities and sororities support sustainability through their Greeks Going Green campaign. The students passed a Renewable Energy Fee ballot referendum in 2006 with 78% voting in favor of the $.50/credit hour fee. To date, more than 700 graduating Gators have signed the Green Graduation Pledge, vowing to take sustainable practices with them into their careers and communities.
I don't know about you, but meeting these enthusiastic students and learning about their initiatives, gives me hope for the future. Thanks to David Eardley and the other students for their green work and their hospitality. Go Gators!
(Update 2011: This student group does not seem to be active right now. Maybe the next batch of students will reorganize.)
(Update 2012: Chris Cano, one of the students at this presentation, is the CEO (Compost Experience Office) of Gainesville Compost. Read about him and his company in my post "The Gainesville community behind Porter's Garden."
Ginny Stibolt would like to hear from readers who have suggestions and questions. After all, there are more than a few transplanted gardeners Florida trying to figure out what works and what doesn't in planting zone 8/9. She's wrote, "Sustainable Gardening for Florida," published by University Press of Florida that was released in 2009. Now she's written "Organic Methods for Growing Vegetables in Florida" with Melissa Contreras in Miami. The new book will be released in Feb 2013. You may contact her or read extra details on her articles and other information posted on her website: www.greengardeningmatters.com.

The Executive Secretary, National Human Rights Commission, Prof. Bem Angwe, has said that the indiscriminate arrest of female Nigerians perceived to be prostitutes is a violation of their rights.
Angwe told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja that while the commission condemned prostitution, it was wrong to assume that every woman on the streets of Abuja is a prostitute.
He said Nigerians, including women, are free to go about their daily activities without molestation.
"The commission is in support of the arrest of criminals. What we condemn is this idea of raiding female Nigerians on the street with the believe that they are prostitutes. Nigerians are free to move about so long as they are not going out to commit crimes and so long as there is no suspicion that they are about to commit any form of crime.
"People have the right to go to places of their choice, except to places where restrictions are placed by law.
Angwe urged security agencies in the Federal Capital Territory to avoid the indiscriminate arrest of women and advised that suspects be charged to court when apprehended.
"It is not so easy to tag a person as a prostitute. How do you begin to ascertain that a person is a prostitute unless a person is so described or confirmed to be a prostitute? Where the law is against some forms of behaviour, it is the duty of security agencies to apprehend culprits and then charge them to court."
He reiterated the commitment of the commission to protecting the rights of all Nigerians, particularly women.
"If any of such cases is brought to our attention, the commission will invoke its powers to protect the rights of such persons concerned. I advise complainants to file their petitions before the commission and the commission will take it up," he said.

Not only this he has also had the best team over the years and as much as you look at things and as supported by Coma, also in many other sports, it is the total package that wins races - team, bike and rider.
On the other issue, HRC have just appointed a new GM, could they really cope with another Ze Boss?
Not only that, they must be reasonably comfortable with their current 2 European riders; they need a couple from South America where there biggest market is, so just where would that position CDP - a third pairing for HRC with a partner? - you certainly don't win the Dakar by having the largest number of riders in the team
I'm comfortable with my "best" sentiment, but I think you hit the nail on the head. It's team, bike, and rider as a package that win races which is why I don't see Cyril stepping back to a Yamaha effort short of them going to a full factory, run from the top initiative.
Of the current crop of riders, circumstances aside, there is no denying Despres' record but more importantly, his consistency. Let's face it, the good results of Pain and Casteu were more of a surprise rather than the result of superior development and support. The Yamaha can be fast on a stage to stage basis, but for one reason or another, something happens which drops Casteu way down or bumps Pain just out of the running. I feel the same about Helder. He's always right there, but for whatever reason, there seems to be something missing from his overall package that leaves him just shy of contention. I don't know if it's luck, lack of training, whatever, but in each rally, there is either a crucial mechanical error or navigational error that Despres doesn't seem to run into.
Even Coma is not immune. If a top team wants results, consistency, and a smart tactician, they can't do much better than Despres. I think a 5 rider team is certainly doable for HRC. Three top riders in Sam, Helder, and Cyril with 2 water carriers that hang back in preparation to help any of the top three. Different than the dedicated rider/water carrier pairing strategy at KTM, but in those three, you get speed and consistency to rival any riders among any other team.
Lastly, I don't think we can overlook Despres' following in South America. Sure he's European, but he's one of the few to remain dedicated to the South American races, Dos Sertoes, the Dakar Series, etc. Didn't he even learn Spanish to be better able to communicate in SA. He's a smart racer and is keen to accommodate those who butter his bread. If I were a team manager, (and I like to think I am pretty fair and impartial) I know that Cyril would be right near the top of my list if I were shopping for a top line rider.

Database maintenance failure: Query timeout expired
Hi, for the past 2 weeks, we have had some major issues with our backup, as the database got to the max size for an SQL Express. After some troubles we managed to move the database to an full SQL Server on another server. Finally resulting in backup jobs to work Again. But now I see that the database maintenance job isn't working, and I'm thinking that perhaps can explain why databse grown to max size. I need the maintenance job to Work, but can't find any solution, so here I am, hoping you guys can help. This is what the latest job said: * Saved contents of BEDB database * Optimized BEDB database size from 4338.63 MB to 4266.19 MB * Deleted expired data for BEDB database: 0 empty legacy backup-to-disk folders were deleted 0 expired reports were deleted 42 expired job histories were deleted 122 expired alert histories were deleted 45 expired job logs were deleted Maintenance has failed: -536837662, -536837662: :: -2147217871:Query timeout expired Total elapsed time: 00:09:31 How do I fix that?

See if this technote fits the exact error that you get. If so, open a support case as the issue is still being investigated.
You could also stop all Backup Exec Services (Including SQL) and then perfrom a manual repair and maintainance of the BEDB
If the manual cleanup and maintainance fails better oopen a support case
Note: Make sure you stop the SQLSERVER( BKUPEXEC) service and take a copy of the DATA folder before performing this.
Also you need to manually serach for the table having millions of entries by going to properties of each table.
The following SQL script can be used to delete multiple rows of data from tables with excessive database to provide additional space for the BEDB.
- Open SQL Management Studio
- Check the properties of the tables in BEDB to see which table has millions of rows. Most common are "JobHistoryDetailInfo" and "Alerts"
- Right-click BEDB and select "New Query"
- Copy and paste the script below to delete 1 million rows
- "TABLENAME" in the scrip below should be replaced with the name of the table you want to delete rows from. Most common are "JobHistoryDetailInfo" and "Alerts"
- Do not delete more than 1 million rows at a time, SQL will hang (once the query completes, you can simply run it again to delete more rows)
- Starts deleting the oldest data first
Delete Top (200000) From TABLENAME
DBCC Shrinkdatabase (BEDB)
Delete Top (200000) From TABLENAME
DBCC Shrinkdatabase (BEDB)
Delete Top (200000) From TABLENAME

Hi, just some extended info.
I don't know that the ackup Exec embedded DB is in, but throught is was an SQL Express.
With BEUtility I move this to another server with a full MS SQL 2005 on it. By default BEUtility placed the DB files in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data.
I don't what that as we haven't got much space on drive c, so through SQL Server Management Studio I detached the DB, moved the files to drive D and attached it again.
For some reason when I restart the SQL and backup services, the DB files is again placed on drive C. That is my headeag right now. How do I moved the DB, so it stays there?

Sonia Levitin's musical, "The Return," based on her novel of that name, revolves around Operation Moses, the mid-1980s airlift that brought most of Ethiopia's Falasha Jews to Israel. But in many ways, this tale of escape echoes the Holocaust in its descriptions of prejudice and massacres in a region of the world that has since endured a genocide in nearby Rwanda, the scourge of AIDS and, more recently, a humanitarian crisis in Darfur.
If these Jews had remained in Ethiopia, there might have been a second Holocaust, a point implied in "The Return," which will be presented as a work in progress in previews this weekend at the MET Theatre before a planned run in the fall.
The Holocaust allusion resonates for Levitin, who was 3 years old when her mother escaped Berlin with her three children in 1938. Her mother is the inspiration for the wise older woman of the play, Weizero Channa, who vows to see Jerusalem despite her failing health.
While Levitin's novel, "The Return," won the PEN Award and National Jewish Book Award, one might ask if this is apt material for a musical.
Levitin had never written a play or even lyrics before, but calls the musical the "most wonderful, creative form," an egalitarian template that can depict and appeal to anyone.
The subject matter is especially topical at a time of national debate over immigration. The Falashas, of course, were immigrants, as well, and became Israeli citizens roughly 20 years ago.
The origin of the Falasha Jews is "shrouded in mystery," Levitin says. Her score includes a song about the Queen of Sheba, said to be the matriarch of the Falashas, who likely gave birth to some of King Solomon's children some 3,000 years ago.
Although the show -- directed by Bo Crowell, with choreography by Donald McKayle and music by William Kevin Anderson -- contains a fledgling romance, with Channa acting as matchmaker, the musical is mostly about the pilgrimage from Ethiopia to Israel. Along the way, some are beaten; others are killed. But the immigrants' spirit, embodied in the play's title, cannot be extinguished or denied.
"The Return," will be presented May 20, 3 p.m., and May 21, 7 p.m., at the MET Theatre, 1089 N. Oxford Ave, Hollywood, (323) 957-1152.

Depression and mental health problems, such as anxiety, affect 10-15% of all pregnant women. Left untreated, these conditions can have lasting effects on the emotional and physical health of both mother and baby. Nonetheless, the information and support provided to pregnant women on physical wellbeing far outweighs that offered on mental wellbeing. Diagnosis and treatment of mental health problems is less likely to happen during pregnancy than any other time.

In this course, photographer Derrick Story teaches the concepts and techniques behind efficient photo management and backup, which becomes increasingly important as a photo collection grows. The course begins by showing how to transfer and organize photos "by hand"—that is, by copying them from a memory card to a hard drive without using software. In the second portion of the course, discover how to take advantage of the photo-management features provided by programs such as Lightroom and Aperture, by assigning descriptive keywords, by giving photos ratings and color-coded labels, and how smart album features can automatically collect photos that meet certain criteria.
The course concludes with a look at aspects of a good backup and archival strategy, ranging from the best file format for long-term backup to the best hardware options for offline storage.
Let's talk about hard drives themselves; those little mechanical wonders that we back our data onto. Now here's the thing about hard drives, the way I see it: one hard drive is good, and two or more are better. And there's very good reason for this. So the one thing that you do not want: you do not want your pictures just to live on the hard drive that's on your computer. So many cases of people losing their computer, or having something bad happen to the computer, and losing all their pictures. These are just heartbreaking stories to me, and I don't want you to experience this at all.
So one way that you can help protect yourself is to back up to a second hard drive. And right here we have -- this is a Western Digital drive. The brand, to me, is not particularly important; more the idea that you have a hard drive to back up to. Now one thing I do like about this Western Digital drive -- and we talked about them in earlier movies, so you might want to refer to those movies about hard drives where I am actually showing the physical drives themselves -- but the thing that I like about this particular hard drive is that it actually has two drives in it. And it has what we call RAID 1 Mirroring, so when I copy images to Derrick Pictures, let's say 2011, then it automatically copies them to that second drive that's inside that little container there, and that is really neat because that gives you the first level of protection against mechanical failure.
So if one of those hard drives goes bad, then all your information is on the other hard drive. Now the thing about having just one hard drive backing up to your computer, which is a good thing, it's a very good thing; that protects you at one level, but it doesn't protect you against something happening at the physical location itself: something horrible like theft or fire. Then it doesn't make any difference that these are backed up on two drives in here, because the whole unit will be lost. So that's where it's nice to have yet another drive; maybe something a little bit more portable.
This little external drive right here is a small one; it actually fits in my pocket. This guy right here. So after I do a back up to this drive, I could mirror that, do the same back up to this drive here, put this in my backpack, and when I go home then I have all of those pictures in a separate location. And since it's a small drive it's not hard for me to carry around. And then I go back to work the next day; it's in my backpack. If I add more pictures to this drive, then I just have to remember to also take another minute to add them here.
Now you may be wondering about version control here; making sure that they both have the same thing. Well this is where your basic organization comes into play. This is where you want to have things organized so that is very easy to see what you have on this drive, so that you can mirror that here. And if you go a couple days without backing up, you just open them both up, you compare, and then you move over the stuff that isn't on the other drive. Organization makes this process a lot easier.
So the big message here is that make sure you have at least one external drive so you have that first level of protection; so you are not just using your computer. And if you can, having that second level of protection: a drive that is in a separate location, that's even better.

Here at Londonist Towers, we're getting pretty excited about our weekend aboard a boat on the Thames in September. Along with our friends at Totally Thames, we're running Londonist Afloat, kicking off with a London-themed quiz on 12 September and culminating in a weekend of lively and interactive talks about the river on 20-21 September.
If you're dithering over which talks to get a ticket for (and who could blame you?) then you're in luck. You can now buy a day pass for either Saturday or Sunday for £15 (or £12.50 concession), which gives you access to all three talks that day.
For Saturday, that's a combination of lost river wisdom, history of swimming in the Thames, and Thames oddities. If you're coming along on Sunday, expect river myths and mysteries, London docks history, and a family-friendly musical story time to finish things off. Thames-tastic. See the full programme here.
If that's not enough to tempt you down, Londonist people will be aboard the boat all day, so come and say "hi" and talk to us about the river, London, the website, or anything else you think we should know about.
Tickets for individual talks are still available at £7.50 each (or £5 concessions). All tickets and day passes are limited, and we recommend booking soon to make sure you get yours.
Tales of the Thames takes place 20-21 September as part of Totally Thames Festival. Tickets and day passes are available here.
Londonist is proud media partner to Totally Thames, which takes place throughout September 2014.
