posted on 2009-06-17 01:51 EDT
Nanase Ohkawa, the main writer of the female manga quartet Clamp, revealed on Friday that CLAMP worked with game soundtrack composer Shinji Hosoe (a.k.a. sampling masters MEGA) and game creator Ichirō Mihara on a "Mugen no Yami -echo of the past" music video for a song by the synthesized idol singer Miku Hatsune. Hosoe composed the original "Mugen no Yami" song, and Mihara was a former college friend of one of the Clamp members. They posted the video on the Nico Nico Douga website on Thursday. On Tuesday, the four Clamp members confirmed that they drew the art in the video and explained how the video came about.

Essential information
Places in Madagascar
Southern Madagascar
Hot, weird and wild, Southern Madagascar is a cinematographer's wet dream. Filled with the world's most exotic flora and surreal landscapes, the countryside looks like no other place on earth. This is the Madagascar of the Discovery Channel, and the country's most visited region.
Eastern Madagascar
Pirates aren't stupid. They figured out how juicy Eastern Madagascar's treasures were and looted its coastline centuries before the rest of us caught on. A couple of hundred years later the real pirates are gone and the secret is out: there's plenty of leftover booty in the form of dazzling pearl beaches, sparkling sapphire water and lush jade rainforests.

A great way to start off the weekend is a fresh cup of coffee or chai latte.Then off to the outdoor green market. I love the aromas and textures of all the fresh produce. It is fun listening to the other shoppers share their cooking stories. I have a warm heart, and I am a good listener, it is amazing what I have learned in life by simply listening! I stay in delicious shape doing yoga and tai chi. After all this time I still can not touch my toes,but I like the challenge. I enjoy each day, and love the winter weather, in Florida. I do at times miss the mountains and beaches of New England and California. Some of my photos are from a trip to the wine country. A great day was hiking in the hills, discovering out of the way wineries,and fun local history. The best part of the day was finding a lovely little cafe, with an outdoor patio, good friends to connect with, share a meal and most importantly to share some laughs. I admire a man who keeps himself in good shape. What I find sexy is if you enjoy your family, friends and your life. I like physically fit guys they are appealing, because it is usually, a signal that we share the same kind of healthy and fun lifestyle. What is sexiest of all is a man of integrity. It is not important to me what you do or did for a living. What I admire is a man that values his friends/family and has a sense of humor. I love to laugh and enjoy being outside in nature and a fun city adventure. We can talk about all that and I want to hear about what makes you happy?
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Dancing, Other types of exercise, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Don't display my sign
I like Birds, Cats, Dogs, Exotic Pets, Fish, Horses, Other
I had a dog ,but he loves to run, in wide open spaces, so he now lives with family in the country.
Some other viewpoint
I enjoy travel and experiencing different cultures. Traveling off the beaten path,sampling the cuisine and making new friends. It doesn't matter if it is local neighborhood, or in far off foreign land but I also appreciate quiet evenings at home.
Santa Clara University, Santa Clara, CA
I enjoy outdoor activities. I like watching NBA games, especially the playoffs. Music is the best everything goes better with music. I would like to say I played an instrument,but I don't. Unless you count those short lived 4th grade cello lessons :
Enjoy movies comedy,drama, all except the scary ones, good food and chocolate. I love little out of the way restaurants, plays, art exhibits, I love being outdoors.Hiking, Street fairs and flea markets in the winter months.Fun, food and friends
I enjoy reading my interests are varied mostly nonfiction books. Getting lost in a great story, that makes me feel like I've travelled somewhere new and exotic while I'm curled up in my living room couch is also good

Coordinator: Series looking for AP poll sub
Originally Published: January 7, 2005Associated Press
MIAMI -- With no plans for a playoff, the Bowl Championship Series will consider using a committee of college football experts to set the next national title game.
"I have to tell you, I really do not see an NFL-style playoff coming to college football any time soon," BCS coordinator and Big 12 commissioner Kevin Weiberg said Tuesday.
Weiberg also said the BCS will search for a replacement for the Associated Press poll to help rank the top teams.

The Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) is a public resource that promotes understanding about the effects of
environmental chemicals on human health. CTD biocurators manually curate a triad of chemical–gene, chemical–disease
and gene–disease relationships from the scientific literature. The CTD curation paradigm uses controlled vocabularies for
chemicals, genes and diseases. To curate disease information, CTD first had to identify a source of controlled terms. Two
resources seemed to be good candidates: the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) and the 'Diseases' branch of
the National Library of Medicine's Medical Subject Headers (MeSH). To maximize the advantages of both, CTD biocurators
undertook a novel initiative to map the flat list of OMIM disease terms into the hierarchical nature of the MeSH vocabulary.
The result is CTD's 'merged disease vocabulary' (MEDIC), a unique resource that integrates OMIM terms, synonyms and
identifiers with MeSH terms, synonyms, definitions, identifiers and hierarchical relationships. MEDIC is both a deep and
broad vocabulary, composed of 9700 unique diseases described by more than 67000 terms (including synonyms). It is freely
available to download in various formats from CTD. While neither a true ontology nor a perfect solution, this vocabulary
has nonetheless proved to be extremely successful and practical for our biocurators in generating over 2.5 million
disease-associated toxicogenomic relationships in CTD. Other external databases have also begun to adopt MEDIC for
their disease vocabulary. Here, we describe the construction, implementation, maintenance and use of MEDIC to raise
awareness of this resource and to offer it as a putative scaffold in the formal construction of an official disease ontology.

Many diseases are the product of the interactions between
genes and the environment. An important component of
the environment is chemical exposure. The Comparative
Toxicogenomics Database (CTD; http://ctd.mdibl.org/) was
developed to help researchers understand the connections
between environmental chemicals and gene products, and
their effects on human health (1–4).
CTD biocurators read the scientific literature and manu-
ally curate a triad of core data describing chemical–gene,
chemical–disease and gene–disease relationships using
an online curation application (5). CTD's curation paradigm
uses controlled vocabularies to streamline curation, ensure
consistency among biocurators, allow for quality control
and to facilitate aggregation and analysis of information.
The CTD Gene vocabulary is based on official gene symbols
from NCBI Gene (6), and the CTD Chemical vocabulary is a
subset of the 'Chemicals and Drugs' [D] branch of MeSH (7).
Finding a vocabulary for capturing disease data initially
proved problematic. CTD had certain requirements for a
disease vocabulary; it had to be robust, publicly available,
relatively stable, regularly maintained, and, preferably,
used as an annotation source by other sectors of the scien-
tific community to facilitate interoperability. An ideal solu-
tion would have been an official Disease Ontology (8),
similar to the highly successful Gene Ontology (GO) used
for gene annotations (9). However, at the time of CTD's
implementation of disease curation in 2006, the Disease
Ontology (DO) project had yet to provide a stable,
mature vocabulary. The requirement that the vocabulary

be publicly available also eliminated well-known, restricted
sources such as SNOMED-CT (Systematized Nomenclature of
Medicine-Clinical Terms). The UMLS Metathesaurus, a
multi-dimensional electronic version of different biomed-
ical vocabularies, is freely available, but requires account
creation, compliance with annual licensing terms, periodic
reporting and subjection to restrictions and separate agree-
ments on the use of some content (10). Since CTD is a small
bioinformatics group, we needed a solution that would be
more practical to manage and integrate with our curation
paradigm and to make publicly available.
Two familiar resources looked promising: OMIM (11) and
the MeSH 'Diseases' branch (7). Here, we describe our
evaluation of these two sources, including the advantages
and limitations of each with respect to the needs of CTD,
and our decision to merge the two into a single artifact to
capitalize on the advantages of both vocabularies. This
resource is called MEDIC (MErged DIsease voCabulary),
and we have used it successfully in our curation paradigm
to describe over 2.5 million disease-associated toxicoge-
nomic relationships at CTD (Table 1). We recognize and
acknowledge that MEDIC is neither an ontology nor a per-
fect solution. Nonetheless, it has quickly filled a need in the
database community, evidenced by it being adopted as a
disease vocabulary by external groups such as the Rat
Genome Database (12) and the Mouse Genome Database
(13). We hope that the scientific community and ontology
experts will develop a true disease ontology that either re-
places or evolves from MEDIC's foundation. Until then, we
introduce and offer MEDIC as a practical resource and scaf-
fold for others to employ and build upon.
Disease vocabularies
OMIM is one of the most well-known and utilized resources
for detailed information about human genetic diseases
(11). We were initially drawn to OMIM because it is familiar
to our users and its data are indexed with NCBI Gene
records, providing a wealth of genetic disease terms that
could be easily integrated into CTD via shared gene acces-
sion identifiers (IDs). OMIM, however, is a flat list of differ-
ent concepts (phenotypes, genes, phenotypes without
genes, genes with phenotypes, etc.), which does not pro-
vide connections between similar diseases. For example, a
query at OMIM with 'breast cancer' retrieves 'BREAST
CANCER' (OMIM:114480) annotated to 21 genes, as well
as 'BREAST-OVARIAN CANCER, FAMILIAL, SUSCEPTIBILITY
TO, 3' (OMIM:613399) annotated to one gene not currently
associated with the 'BREAST CANCER' record. For CTD, we
needed a way for our users to come to one umbrella term
(e.g. breast neoplasms) and find information associated
with individual and related diseases. While OMIM effi-
ciently catalogs genetic diseases corresponding to muta-
tions, CTD is also interested in environmental diseases,
which are not necessarily associated with gene mutations,
so we required a vocabulary that included non-genetic dis-
orders as well.
We also needed a way to allow users to navigate
between broad and specific disease levels. For example, in-
stead of selecting data exclusively for 'ALZHEIMER DISEASE'
(OMIM:104300), a CTD user might want a broader perspec-
tive for all neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzhei-
mer, Parkinson and Lou Gehirg diseases. The flat OMIM
structure does not provide a way to view aggregate infor-
mation from such higher levels.
OMIM contains a mixture of different types of informa-
tion, identifiable by a character prefix in front of the record
ID. Since we wanted to avoid using OMIM gene pages as
part of our disease vocabulary, we excluded in our initial
mapping all OMIM records prefixed with an asterisk that
identifies records for gene descriptions. We only collected
records prefaced with a number sign (# phenotype
description,molecular basis
(% phenotype description, molecular basis unknown), a
plus sign (+ gene and phenotype combined) or no symbol
(phenotype description, Mendelian basis not clearly estab-
lished). We also excluded deleted OMIM records, identifi-
able by a caret symbol, as well as terms that seem to be
more of a trait instead of a disease, such as 'BLOOD GROUP,
To streamline its initial creation, MEDIC only included
OMIM terms that were associated with an NCBI Gene ac-
cession ID. Since its inception, MEDIC is updated by includ-
ing new OMIM records as they are assigned new gene
known),a percentsign
MeSH is a controlled vocabulary thesaurus composed of
over 26000 primary terms that are used to index and an-
notate scientific abstracts in MEDLINE (7). Currently, the
MeSH hierarchy is divided into 16 branches. The 'Diseases'
[C] branch of MeSH, like other branches, is structured as a

hierarchy that can be navigated between broad and specif-
ic terms (14). Hierarchies are extremely valuable in curation,
as they allow associated data to be viewed at various levels
of granularity, with data annotated to children of a branch
to be aggregated at each higher level of the hierarchy. As
an indexing source at PubMed, MeSH provides an efficient
way to triage the literature for specific articles to be used in
disease curation. However, MeSH does not include genes
that are known to be associated with their disease terms,
it is deficient in many detailed diseases (especially complex
syndromes), and it contains some idiosyncrasies that pre-
sent challenges to data navigation and analysis. For ex-
ample, 'Autistic Disorder' (MESH:D001321) is not a child in
the 'Diseases' [C] branch, but rather maps to the 'Psychiatry
and Psychology' [F] branch. As such, CTD would need to
include both the entire 'Diseases' [C] branch (and its sup-
plementary concept terms) and the [F03] 'Mental Disorders'
(MESH:D001523) sub-branch since our users would expect
autism spectrum disorders (and other mental disorders) to
be listed in a manner similar to other diseases.
For CTD's needs, we wanted to take advantage of both
disease vocabularies: the familiarity and immediate genetic
data offered by OMIM terms associated with NCBI Gene
IDs, combined with the navigation utility and PubMed
indexing feature of MeSH terms. An obvious solution was
to create a merged vocabulary that integrated both OMIM
and MeSH disease terms. In December 2006, two CTD bio-
curators spent three weeks manually reviewing, integrating
and merging the appropriate OMIM disease terms (see
above) into the MeSH disease hierarchy using a spreadsheet
to form the basis of MEDIC.
MEDIC is updated on a monthly basis, and is freely avail-
able to download in a variety of formats from CTD
(Figure 1). As of October 2011, MEDIC contains 9706
unique diseases (plus 58074 disease synonyms), composed
of 6197 primary MeSH terms and IDs, 1845 primary OMIM
terms and IDs (made leaves of MeSH terms) and 1664 MeSH
terms that contain2593
them (Figure 2).

databases that use MEDIC to provide a direct link from their disease page to CTD's equivalent disease page to promote inter-
operability between databases.

By combining the primary terms, synonyms and IDs from
both OMIM and MeSH into a single resource, MEDIC
becomes a flexible solution that can be mapped to other
disease vocabularies or ontologies. For example, the
current version of the DO also includes some terms, syno-
nyms and IDs from OMIM, MeSH and SNOWMED-CT, allow-
ing groups that use the DO to migrate to MEDIC via term
and ID mapping. Vice versa, groups that start out by initial-
ly adopting MEDIC will have the flexibility to migrate to a
more robust DO or other disease vocabulary in the future
by similar term and ID mapping. Data management tools
such as the interactive Ontology Lookup Service could help
streamline and enhance the cross-platform analysis and
mapping of these shared vocabularies (15).
MEDIC mapping guidelines
The MeSH disease hierarchy is used as the backbone of
MEDIC, with OMIM terms either merged to a MeSH term
or added as a leaf (child) to one or more MeSH terms.
Where the same disease is represented in OMIM and
MeSH, the OMIM name, synonyms and ID all become syno-
nyms of the equivalent MeSH term. This fusion gives our
users more power to query diseases at CTD. OMIM primary
terms and synonyms are kept in their capitalized format on
CTD web display, thereby allowing biocurators and users to
readily distinguish between OMIM and MeSH terms.
We used the following guidelines in our manual map-
ping of OMIM terms to MeSH terms in the initial construc-
tion of MEDIC. In our analysis, we considered a number of
factors, including: the semantic similarity of the OMIM dis-
ease term to a MeSH term as determined by the biocurator
(e.g. OMIM 'LUNG CANCER' is similar to MeSH 'Lung
Neoplasms'), OMIM synonyms, the disorders described in
the OMIM report, its accompanying cited literature and
the MeSH terms annotated to its cited literature.
(1) An OMIM primary term is either merged directly to
the most appropriate MeSH term or else is made a
leaf (child) of one
Example: 'LUNG CANCER' (OMIM:211980) is merged
to 'LungNeoplasms'
EOSINOPHILIA' (OMIM:131440) is made a leaf of two
terms: 'Myeloproliferative Disorders' (MESH:D009196)
and 'Eosinophilia'(MESH:D004802).
OMIM term cannot be both merged to and made a
leaf of MeSH terms. An OMIM term cannot be made
the leaf of another OMIM term.
(2) If an OMIM disease term uses the word 'susceptibility'
in its name, then that term is merged to the
MeSH disease term that is concordant with the core
name oftheOMIM
SUSCEPTIBILITY TO' (OMIM:600807) is merged to
'Asthma' (MESH:D001249). However, if the OMIM 'sus-
ceptibility' term is a complex of different diseases that
do not match a single MeSH term, the OMIM term
should be added as a leaf beneath all the appropriate
MeSH terms. Example: 'BREAST-OVARIAN CANCER,
FAMILIAL, SUSCEPTIBILITY TO, 2' (OMIM:612555) is
added as a leaf node beneath both 'Breast Neop-
lasms' (MESH:D01943)
(3) If an OMIM primary term uses a phrase describing
heritability (e.g. 'hereditary', 'autosomal', 'X-linked',
etc.), then the term is added as a leaf beneath the
most appropriate MeSH term(s). Example: 'DEAFNESS,
AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT 12' (OMIM:601543) is added
beneath 'Deafness' (MESH:D003638).
(4) If an OMIM primary term uses a numeral, then it is
merged to the concordant MeSH term. Example:
'SCHIZOPHRENIA 12' (OMIM:608543) is merged to
'Schizophrenia' (MESH:D012559).
(5) If an OMIM primary term uses the word 'type', then
the term is added as a leaf beneath the most appro-
priate MeSH term(s). Example: 'SYNDACTYLY, TYPE 1'
(OMIM:185900) isadded
(6) For OMIM primary terms that describe syndromes, the
biocurator first checks to see if that same syndrome
exists in MeSH, and if it does, then the OMIM term is
merged to the MeSH term. Example: 'CHROMOSOME
5q DELETION SYNDROME' (OMIM:153550) is merged
to '5q- syndrome' (MESH:C535323). If the OMIM syn-
drome is not in MeSH, then the OMIM term will
become a leaf beneath one or more MeSH terms.

Updating and maintaining MEDIC
MEDIC is updated by CTD on a monthly basis. Since both
OMIM and MeSH are constantly refining their own respect-
ive databases, it is inevitable that MEDIC will fall out of
synchronization from time to time. To ensure the continued
completeness and high quality of MEDIC, we implemented
a two-tiered quality control process.
From CTD's perspective, the completeness of the MEDIC
vocabulary is defined by its ability to capture OMIM-
to-gene associations. To that end, we run a quarterly pro-
cess that reads through the latest OMIM 'mim2gene' file
and attempts to identify diseases that do not currently
exist in MEDIC either as a discrete or merged term. All
OMIM diseases are candidates for inclusion, with the excep-
tion of OMIM entries that are designated as no longer
existing (i.e. carat prefix) and those designated as genes
of known sequence (i.e. asterisk prefix). As the process
reads through the 'mim2gene' file, if an OMIM disease is
encountered that is not accounted for in MEDIC (and is con-
sidered valid for inclusion in CTD as defined above), it is
checked against a list of OMIM terms that CTD has been
unable to match to a MeSH term in the past (e.g. traits such
as 'BLOOD GROUP, P SYSTEM'). If the disease is not con-
tained in the unmatched list, it is included in a report for
CTD biocurators to review as the basis for entry of new
terms into MEDIC.
High quality
The most recent MeSH and OMIM vocabularies are loaded
from their respective databases to CTD each month. To
ensure that MEDIC is synchronized with any changes in
these vocabularies, CTD biocurators are notified of all dis-
ease name changes (whether by MeSH or OMIM) for all
mapped terms. This notification is determined by computa-
tionally comparing the disease names that were used when
the OMIM–MeSH mappings were originally made to the
name of the disease in the most recent monthly download.
The biocurators research the definitions of the terms in this
list to determine if the semantics of the disease (and there-
fore potentially its association in MEDIC) have changed.
Changes in accessions and/or dropped terms are also
checked to ensure that they are properly addressed each
We have not yet resolved all quality control issues,
including, for example, when OMIM changes the character
prefix for an OMIM ID. This change can sometimes result in
a phenotype report now becoming a gene page (identifi-
able by an asterisk), something we exclude from MEDIC.
We are working on ways to identify and resolve such
records in MEDIC. Even with its limitations, however,
MEDIC has been a practical vocabulary to implement at
CTD in the absence of a more formal, stable, and mature
disease ontology.
Implementing MEDIC at CTD
Curating to MEDIC
As part of the curation process at CTD, biocurators manu-
ally curate chemical–disease and gene–disease relationships
from the literature (4–5). Chemicals and genes can be asso-
ciated to a disease via two types of interactions. The chem-
ical/gene can act as a biomarker or play a molecular role in
the disease process (an M-type relationship), or the chem-
ical/gene can be a known or putative therapeutic for the
disease (a T-type relationship). CTD biocurators have suc-
cessfully used MEDIC as a vocabulary to curate disease re-
lationships from the scientific literature for 5471 genes and
2701 chemicals. For example, the chemical resveratrol has a
curated relationship to over 50 different diseases from
MEDIC (Figure 3). Users can seamlessly explore all of these
interactions from the perspective of any of the appropriate
chemical, gene, or disease pages in CTD.
Displaying and navigating MEDIC
Every MEDIC primary term is displayed as a disease page in
CTD. Users looking for information about type 2 diabetes
will find the disease page anchored to the MeSH term
'Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2' (MESH:D003924) with similar
OMIM terms having been merged to the page (Figure 4a),
such as 'DIABETES MELLITUS, NONINSULIN-DEPENDENT'
(OMIM:125853) and 'DIABETES MELLITUS, NONINSULIN-
DEPENDENT, 1' (OMIM:601283). All the OMIM synonyms
have been merged to the MeSH synonyms for this disease,
and are recognizable by their capitalization (Figure 4b).
Another OMIM term was added as a leaf beneath this dis-
ease, as can be seen in the hierarchy paths displayed at the
bottom of the page (Figure 4c); here, 'DIABETES MELLITUS,
(OMIM:610549) is a leaf to both 'Diabetes Mellitus, Type
2'and 'Acanthosis Nigricans' in MEDIC. CTD-curated data
for type 2 diabetes can be found under the appropriate
data-tabs at the top (Figure 4d).
The hierarchical nature of MEDIC (provided by the MeSH
backbone) allows users the flexibility to navigate up and
down the vocabulary to explore and discover chemicals
and genes annotated to those diseases both by CTD bio-
curators and the automatic incorporation of OMIM genetic
data (Figure 5). Thus, users looking for all genes related to
type 2 diabetes would also find data for 'DIABETES

I have a text file called "high.txt". I need the data inside for my Android app. But I have absolutely no idea how to read it into an ArrayList of the Strings. I tried the normal way of doing it in Java but apparently that doesn't work in Android since it cant find the file. So how do I go about doing this? I have put it in my res folder. But how do you take the input stream that you get from opening the file within Android and read it into an ArrayList of Strings. I am stuck on that part.
Basically it would look something like this:
3. What do you do for an upcoming test?
L: make sure I know what I'm studying and really review and study for this thing. Its what Im good at. Understand the material really well.
CL: Time to study. I got this, but I really need to make sure I know it,
M: Tests can be tough, but there are tips and tricks. Focus on the important, interesting stuff. Cram in all the little details just to get past this test.
CR: -sigh- I don't like these tests. Hope I've studied enough to pass or maybe do well.
R: Screw the test. I'll study later, day before should be good.
This is for a sample question and all the lines will be stored as separate strings in the array list.

Bradley Cooper in Double Denim
Bradley Cooper was seen leaving E! Studios wearing double denim. I didn't think a dark denim shirt would work with dark jeans, but I think Bradley is working this look perfectly. The shade of the shirt dresses up the look and works well with the darker 7 For All Mankind Standard jeans in New York Dark. Also, doesn't Bradley look like he just stepped out of a GAP ad in these pics?
Olivia Wilde in MiH
Olivia Wilde was caught on the set of "House" wearing a pair of MiH Jeans. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the show "House"; it's one of my favorite shows! When Olivia first came on "House" I was a little upset that I thought she was supposed to replace Jennifer Morrison but Olivia plays the part very well and looks very HOT in these jeans!

I make a sweet and sour red salad with red cabbage and beetroot. Much nicer than brasied red cabbage. Good with hot or cold pork and chicken and sausages and good for snacking too. Depending on the time of year, the cabbage, radishes, beetroot and red onion come from the garden:-
250g / 8oz red cabbage, shredded
430g / 15oz tin red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
125g / 4oz radishes, sliced
1 small red onion, sliced thinly
1 red bell pepper, cored and diced
200g / 7oz beetroot, cooked and cut into strips
1 red apple, cored and cut into chunks
4 tbs red wine vinegar
4 tbs soft brown sugar
2 tbs light soy sauce
2 tbs sunflower, safflower, rapeseed or grapeseed oil
Cover the cabbage with boiling water and leave for 5 minutes without further heat. Drain well.
Combine all the salad ingredients.
Combine all the dressing ingredients and taste for seasoning. Some people find it more sweet than sour so you may want to adjust the vinegar levels.
Toss the salad in the dressing. The salad benefits from being left to marinate an hour or two before serving and keeps well for at least a week.
Milk is such a verstaile product which produces a wide variety of godies - milk, cream, clotted cream, sour cream, butter, buttermilk, ice cream and cheeses and so on. I try always to but organic milk, cream and cheeses or else regional products which aren't mass produced.
Our neighbours have a mixed arable and pastoral farm. When we arrived 21 years ago they had dairy cattle and sold milk, butter, yoghurt and fromage blanc but then the EU introduced rules about having separate, tiled rooms for each process and which would have cost a fortune to convert their perfectly adequate facilities.
They sold all the cows, bought a few more horses and opened a riding school and archery club and now earn most of their income from their 2 personal interests. Clearly not every farmer can diversify this way and it will take a great deal of organisation for farmers to band together and resist supermarket pressures to sell at below cost..
There is a movement slowly starting in the UK which is seeing customers change from supermarket shopping to smaller and more local shops and suppliers. Let's hope it gains momentum and good quality producers who care for their animals and land can start to get decent prices again
I love these plants and had some in my sheltered front bed for 3 seasons where they were well drained and sheltered from prevailing winds. They did fine for 2 winters with plenty of snow and -10C in full sun but didn't like the following very cold winter with less snow for insulation.
One of the advantages of watching SCD and the results tonight instead of live is that I was able to fast forward through Barry Manilow. Never liked any of his songs and wasn't about to let him murder Louis Armstrong!
Good show and good result.
Brendan has been calmer ever since he got married and is quite the softy now he's a dad. It'll be interesting to see what he does with the rumba next week.
Can't understand wardrobe malfunctions after all these years. The costume department produces some amazing outfits but also some horrors and never should have left Caroline's skirt so long once they'd done the dress rehearsal. It was just asking to be stood on in the intro moves. Thought she recovered very well.
Didn't like Jake's samba. There's something creepy about him. Loved Frankie's Viennese waltz and enjoyed Pixie's Charleston although OH and I found some of her leg positions ugly and ungainly rather than quirky. Simon's salsa was good. So pleased Christine has a good partner. We liked Mark's tango too but don't understand why people think it's an angry dance. It's powerful and controlled and can be much more steamy and sensual than a rumba but it isn't angry.
I have lost 2 of these in the past from unexpected first frosts below -5C. Previously they had survived winters of -20C for several weeks because I got to them before the frosts and folded over the large, dying leaves to cover the crown and then buried the whole plant under 3' of garden compost.
My third and last attempt at growing these is in a pot and gets potted up to the next size in spring so it can grow well. For winter, I bury the pot in the border in the greenhouse. Once it gets to a size where I can no longer move its pot it will be planted out and I will keep a weather eye on the frost forecasts and use my judgement when I think the forecasters may be wrong so I, and te gunnera, don't get a nasty surprise.
No single variety of shrub or tree is going to mask the smell as their season of fragrant flowers or foliage is transient and, in any case, your nose will become desensitised to persistent fragrance, whether good or bad.
I'd rather live next to a farm than an airport. I was shocked by the all pervading smell of aviation fuel at the back of Zaventem airport when out on a hunt for sculptures by a certain Belgian artist - http://s211.photobucket.com/user/Obelixx_be/media/0807%20Sculpture%20tour/080718049.jpg.html?sort=2&o=11 .
I'm waiting for OH to turn our compost heaps so I can mulch some newly cleared beds and plant out my seed and divison raised plants. Finally decided to wait no longer and have started bedding them into the raised veggie beds till spring. Still quite a lot of those to do then the rest of the new bulbs to plant; dahlais ato lift and dry before storing, the south facing wall of the greenhouse still to bubble wrap; assorted pots to be sheltered in there or the shed depending on what needs light; chipped bark mulch to apply to the blackurrant, redcurrant, gooseberry and strawberries bed; winter windbreak netting to attach on the north and east fences and then we can have winter.
That will be spent mostly hibernating and doing jobs in the house but on fine days there are garden chairs to repair and paint, metal obelisks to clean with a wire brush and paint with hammerite and some new wooden ones to make and paint.
No, but you can do what you like all week.
We shall be out dancing so will have to catch up tomorrow night, before the results show.
Alan - it's insulation against the cold. We had our first frost last night. Very beautiful but a signal to get a wellie on sorting out the last of my babies and divisions for winter and lifting the last of the dahlias which have been fine till now in pots in full sun.


text: Great location. Room is big for three adults. Great courtyard parking. Breakfast is not so great,. However, room is dimly lighted. The greatest drawback was the room was so cold for us, coming from a warmer climate. Poor or almost no internet connection in main bedroom. I have to move nearer bathroom for internet signal

Lebanon - To Aaron Miller and his two-man crew, the first Monday of September isn't associated with backyard barbecues, a final summer beach excursion, a day in the man cave watching the Red Sox or Yankees or even reflection on the right to unionize.
"Labor Day - that's to labor all day," Miller said Monday, the next-to-last day of a five-week project his Fort Plain, N.Y.-based company is finishing at the 42-acre M&K Dairy Farm.
Miller's company, E&A Fence, doesn't have a website, nor does its 26-year-old owner bother with Facebook, Twitter or even a laptop computer to promote or run his business.
A word-of-mouth recommendation from a former customer prompted the farm's co-owner Kim Abell to contact and ultimately hire E&A Fence to build a 23,000-foot, high tensile electric fence. And neither Miller nor his workers, Benjamin Stoltzfus and Vernon Peachey, got behind the wheel of a car to reach their far-flung work site, relying on a hired driver to take them and a small camper from their home 217 miles away.
"I love it. It's good work," said Peachey, 29, pounding a nail to anchor a length of wire into one of the dozens of yellow pine fence posts he, Miller and Stolzfus drove into the soil and rock at the farm over the last five weeks. Their workday had begun at 8 a.m., about two hours later than normal because they had gone home for the weekend and rode back that morning. Quitting time wouldn't be until just before dark.
Back home in midstate New York, Miller, Stoltzfus and Peachey are part of a community of about 65 Amish families who resettled there over the last seven years when too much traffic and too many building restrictions on their ancestral farms in Lancaster County, Pa., drove them away.
"We were the first family to move there, in 2006," said Miller, like the other two clad in the signature outfit of the married Amish male - button-up black pants with suspenders, button-down shirt and wide-brimmed straw hat topping a bearded visage.
While their religious convictions prevent them from using many modern conveniences at their own homes and farms, Miller said, they are allowed to employ machinery at job sites. For this project, they used a Bobcat skid loader with a fence post pounder. Chain saws and a rock spike were also put to use.
"You could do it digging by hand, but you wouldn't get work," Stolzfus said.
Miller said the Amish have become more accepting of modern machinery out of necessity.
"To be competitive in the business world, we need to use it," said Miller, who started his company with his brother Elam seven years ago, when he was 19 years old. Four years ago he bought out his brother.
For farm owners Abell and Michael Shaw, the fence-building project will be a major improvement to their operation, which they've been running for the past nine years. A longtime dairy farm, it's part of several hundred acres in town owned and leased by the state Department of Agriculture to several different farmers. A grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service is funding the fence building.
"This is so we can do rotational grazing with our cows, so we can make the most of our grass," said Able, as she showed the pathways and gates built by the three workmen. "I really want my cows to be outside, and be feeding themselves, and take away some of the work for us bringing them hay and silage."
Basically, she explained, the network of fences and gates will funnel their herd of 40 milking cows and 30 young heifers and calves from pasture to pasture along fenced-in trails, so no one pasture gets overgrazed and the herd stays out of wetlands. It's a return to traditional, more environmentally friendly dairy farming methods well suited to M&K and the "Ladies of Lebanon" brand specialty cheeses, yogurts and other products it produces, Abell said.
"Basically now, it's a free-for-all," she said. "The cows go to their favorite spots, and they like to scatter. This will make them easier to manage. And they look really cool when they hit the trail. We just have to walk behind them and keep them going, and when they get the gist of it, cows are very quick to learn the routine."
Having the Amish workers at her property, she said, has been a good experience. Her teenage son has struck up a friendship with the young men, sometimes sharing dinner at a local pizza restaurant. Having them around, she said, has caused her to reflect about the benefits of living more simply.
"I think I watch very little TV, but they watch none," she said.
