Popular Year Poll
Jan 15
Popular: The 90s
This is another one of our decade polls, where we ask: which year was best for pop? Pick one only! Using the Popular vault of scores as a guide, I've selected a few songs to act as a reminder BUT – you should make your judgement on whatever criteria you see fit, not only the number ones.
And don't forget our 1999 poll, which I put up yesterday.
Jan 15
Popular '99
I give a mark out of 10 to every Popular entry. In these year end polls, you get to tick any of the singles that you would have given 6 or more to.
With the most #1s yet, 1999 saw me give my highest scores (9s) to Britney and Fatboy Slim, and a brace of 1s to Baz Luhrmann and (less controversially) Sir Cliff. Over to you, and use the comment boxes to talk about the year in general. Tomorrow I'll put up a decade poll too.
Aug 14
Popular '98
I give every record on Popular a mark out of 10. This poll is your chance to tick any singles YOU would have given 6 or more to. In 1998 my top score was a 9 for Cornershop, my lowest a 1 for Boyzone's "No Matter What". Use the comments to discuss the year in general, present other lists, etc etc.
Apr 14
Popular '97
I give every entry a mark out of 10. Here's your opportunity to tick the ones you'd have given 6 or more to.
My highest score of 1997 turns out to have been a solitary 8, for Hanson's "MMMBop". U2 and Elton both got 2s. Use the comments box to talk about the year in general!
Feb 14
Popular '96
I give every record on Popular a mark out of 10. This poll is a chance for you to say which Number Ones in a year you'd have given 6 or more out of 10 to.
In terms of my marks, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Four 9s – "Jesus To A Child", "Firestarter", "Wannabe" and "Setting Sun". But a 1 out of 10 – the hapless Barlow – and three 2s (Robson And Jerome and a brace of Boyzones). Use the comments to talk about the year in general, post other lists, reminisce, etc etc.
Aug 13
Popular '95
Year poll time! I give every No.1 a mark out of 10. In this poll, you can tick any that you would give 6 or more to. My highest marks this year went to Livin' Joy and Coolio, my lowest to Robson And Jerome.
Writing the 1995 entries has been tremendously enjoyable, reading the threads even more so. Thanks, as ever, to everyone who reads and comments on Popular and waits patiently for the oft-delayed new entries.
As ever, use the comments to share your own favourites from 1995, other lists, thoughts on the year in general, etc.
May 13
Popular '94
I'm glad to see the back of this year. As usual, I give songs a mark out of 10, you can too, and here's where it all gets added up. What gets 6 or more from you?
My bottom scorers this year were a brace of 2s for Man U and Wet Wet Wet, and my top scorer was Baby D, which got an 8. This is now the 4th year in a row where I've not given a 9 or 10. (Every year from 1971 to 1990 had at least one 9+.)
Sep 12
Popular '93
The year that broke Popular! (nearly)
I gave every song a mark out of 10, now you can say which you'd have given 6 or more to, and reminisce about the year in general, post lists, discuss the merits of Back To The Planet, etc etc.
Nov 11
Popular '92
I give a mark out of 10 to every track – this poll is for you to tick all the songs you'd have given 6 or more to, and you can discuss the year in general in the comments box.
A year of few number ones, though it took me an age to finish. My highest marks were 8 for Shakespear's Sister and Charles And Eddie; lowest was a 2 for Wet Wet Wet. Onwards!
Jun 11
Popular '91
I give a mark out of 10 to every single on Popular. Here's where you can tick the ones you'd give 6 or higher to – and talk about the year in general.
(My highest mark for 1991 was an 8 for the KLF, my lowest a 1 for Hale And Pace.)

Voy a reir voy a bailar vivir mi vida la la la
I'm pretty easy going with a complex mind. Looking for someone I can complement, not complete. Someone I can grow with, who values character, and isn't only intrigued by beauty alone. "So today, in the present, I offer you three promises: I'll trust you until you show me I can't. I'll be as consistent as your efforts inspire me to be. And I'll honor your time with the same respect I give my own. No games. No gimmicks. No guile. If you can appreciate this I can build with you; If not, I have no time for you. I've been thru too much to keep playing the same ole game, just to keep getting the same draining results. I want more... I deserve more!!! So I'm holding out until I get it. Because the next time I play, I'm playing for keeps." ~ Rob Hill Sr

While states work to develop strategies to promote statewide multi-payer initiatives, many organizations within the states have simultaneously launched their own payment reform programs and initiatives. As states develop new initiatives, they must consider the role of ongoing efforts in new strategies as a means to promote payer alignment and avoid provider confusion and burden resulting from misaligned programs.
This webinar, will examine how an existing private medical home program in Michigan was leveraged to develop a statewide medical home initiative. Chris Koller will provide an overview of common approaches states have taken to engage multiple payers in reform efforts. Speakers from both Michigan state and Michigan Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) will discuss Michigan's approach to utilizing partnerships and ongoing work of BCBS in the state to develop its patient-centered medical home initiative.
This webinar is supported by Kaiser Permanente.

First introduced in 1978, the Concor and Concorlight set new standards in light weight and comfort for racing saddles, the design was so far ahead of the competition that for years many athletes have used Concors rebranded with their official saddle sponsors logo.
The new Concor Carbon FX takes the rounded but slim profile that made the original Concor such a hit and refines the design even further, cutting-edge materials and over two years of painstaking design have gone into making a superlight high-performance Concor for the 21st century. San Marco's industry-leading Carbon Waist rails have been completely redesigned and cross over underneath the nose to offer optimal resistance to torsional forces. The carbon reinforced hull is custom tuned to offer a degree of flex when needed whilst remaining firm enough to give the rider a solid, stable base to push against. Supportive Biofoam padding for optimal support and long lasting comfort. Seamless Microfeel cover is durable, soft and supple. Handmade in Italy.

The Sagehood Plot
Nixon's preoccupation, even obsession, after being forced from office was to redeem his reputation, to become a respected figure, to raise himself up from his disgraced state, according to the Wizard plan. He wanted to become someone people listened to—a senior statesman, a sage. And the best way to be considered a sage, Nixon understood, was to establish one's credentials as an expert in foreign policy, a man known to world leaders. Domestic policy didn't cut it the same way: lectures and articles on education or the environment didn't attract the Brahmins and the business leaders Nixon wanted to attract, didn't occupy nearly as much space on the stage. No splashy trips. Nixon hadn't been much interested in domestic policy. Various descriptions have been offered of Nixon's domestic philosophy, but essentially there wasn't one: he was a pragmatist—he moved left and right as the situation suited him. His approval of relatively moderate bills on domestic policies— certainly by the later standards of the Republican Party—were for the most part responses to initiatives by leading Democratic senators.
This was particularly true of the environmental policies he signed onto: the environmental movement took hold during his presidency, and Nixon wasn't going to get isolated on the matter. And so the role of the federal government in regulating the environment grew considerably under Nixon— though in conversations with aides he referred to environmentalism as "crap for clowns." Ehrlichman later wrote of his own frustration with the difficulty of getting the president's attention to domestic issues and his efforts to keep Nixon from veering further to the right, as other aides urged.
The radical family assistance plan Nixon proposed—to replace welfare payments with cash assistance—was foisted on him by then-urban affairs adviser Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who convinced Nixon that he could be Disraeli, a conservative who backed proposals that liberals could support. For a brief while, the grand notion of the family assistance plan, plus emulating a great statesman, appealed to Nixon. The plan would also enable him to reduce significantly the size and the power of the welfare bureaucracy—in general Nixon loathed the bureaucracies, viewing them with suspicion as definitely not on his side. Though Nixon announced his proposal with great fanfare on television, he quickly lost interest in it. In congress both liberals and conservatives disliked the plan, but for different reasons: many liberals felt that the payments were too low—and conservatives wanted nothing to do with cash payments for the poor. And so the program died on Capitol Hill. This was fine with Nixon, who in fact had told Haldeman that his goal was to convince liberals that he wanted to propose something progressive that conservatives would kill.
In the case of race, the most thorny domestic issue, Nixon's policies were a mixed picture. He campaigned in 1968 on the "Southern strategy": to appeal to both Southerners and blue collar workers in the North perturbed by efforts toward racial integration. In other efforts to have it both ways, Nixon sought to please liberals by ordering the Justice Department to enforce court orders on integration—and conservatives by making it clear that he would go no further than that. He openly opposed the busing of children in order to achieve racial integration of schools, a problem of particular sensitivity in the urban North. Nixon ordered the firing of Leon Panetta, then a Republican, from his job as head of the civil rights division of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare because Panetta openly complained that the administration was moving too slowly toward school integration. Nixon wanted to get George Romney, his Secretary of Housing and Urban Affairs, who pressed for housing integration in suburbs, out of his cabinet, but, characteristically, he couldn't bring himself to fire him, and turned the matter over to John Mitchell, but Romney resisted Mitchell's suggestions that he go.
Nixon displayed a marked indecisiveness at times, especially when it came to personnel, and his hesitation to fire Romney was fed by the storm that had broken out not long before over the fact that he had fired Interior Secretary Walter Hickel, who was popular among environmentalists and younger people. Hickel had been an anti-environmentalist when Nixon selected him, but he changed as he got closer to the subject. He had also infuriated Nixon

It's Johnman's birthday today, so the LEAST we can do is send him our love and birthday wishes!
Great to see a post from you too!
Thanks for the update on Mr. Johnman. I've been wondering.
He's living in an apartment with his son, with no internet-BUT he's fine! Mona was speaking to him on the telephone just two days ago, while I was chatting with her. He was sending messages via her, and seemed to be in good enough spirits.
I've been wondering if anyone's heard from him and has any updates on what we can do to help. If so, please advise. Thanks.
I don't know the whole story but for pieces from GDean but Johnman had his internet cut off. He hasn't posted around the parts for some time. I hope he is all right going into the winter season.
Too anyone who helped him out (you know who you are) a sincere Thank You! and let's hope our beloved cookie monster Christian minister returns.
Ohh wait. I have God on the other line. It seems Johnman had an early number in The Rapture lottery and was one of the first to go.
Johnman has been a kind voice on this thread and generous with his advice. He is going through hard times right now. He is losing his home and he and his son & dog might become homeless.
He knows there are a lot of other worthy causes in the world but if you could dig a little deep for this loveable cookie monster and kindly old soul it would be much appreciated.
You can PM him or myself for an address to send donations to (Try him first). I sent a check the other day because I appreciate his voice on this thread and other places. Hope you do, too!
You know our love will not fade away!
Not fade away
Not fade away!
Love is Real not Fade Away........
Sums it up for me, and if we are going on the religion side I choose NONE. No Religion.....now Spirituality, well it could mean so much to so many people. Personally My beliefs are straight out of the Biblical Sense.....However I am by no means one to judge others beliefs. I know that I'm spiritual and I also do know there is TRUE LOVE going on in this community of People. I love you all!
I also just realized how I reached all these epiphany's with a little help from a notorious band's Energy and Spiritual Relief......The good Ole' Grateful Dead.......
Love is REAL!!!
Thank you lamagonzo from the bottom of my heart.
Makes my posts look even more rambling than usual though!; you're showing me up here! ha ha!! The gonzo as succinct as ever!
And that's pretty surprising regarding the Furthur show. Weird! In a family area that's busy, then i'd agree but otherwise.....
I like that sentiment too; recharge then pass it on. i shall have to do it more often.

One area of its game that the Hastings High girls basketball team has struggled with at times this season has been slow starts, especially on offense.
That definitely wasn't the case Saturday against Lexington.
The Tigers scored on 10 of their 12 offensive possessions in the first quarter, including the first six to start the game, to develop a 22-12 lead.
Then the defense kicked in during the second half, helping Hastings High (5-5) pick up its third-straight victory with a 56-36 win over the Minutemaids (1-10).
"We haven't done that in the beginning of games, but our offense has done that in different stretches," said head coach Greg Mays.
Three girls finished in double figures offensively for Hastings, whose 56 points was the second-highest output this season. The Tigers scored 58 against Lexington in a win at the Greater Nebraska Athletic Conference tournament on Dec. 30.

Footy Score Articles
Close enough not good enough for Goodes
DON'T even consider telling Adam Goodes an eight-point loss to a team rated one of the two best in the competition has some merit.
Wonder Kid Knocks Out Footy Experts
WATCH heaps of footy - that's the secret to winning the footy tipping competition, according to six-year-old tipping phenomenon Daniel Moro.
Fair Go, You Know The Score
WHAT annoys you most about footy? That plague on our game, the video referee? The disappearance of Gary Belcher's moustache? Melbourne's ghastly away strip? The number of column inches given to numbers-crunching dork Denis Fitzgerald? The fact that touchies like Mahomad Fajajo and David Abood don't have television shows?
Sydney Makes The Critics Sit Up And Take Notice
ON FACE value, it was a comprehensive win over a team unlikely to be wearing footy boots in September. But forward Michael O'Loughlin believes Sydney's impressive win over Richmond yesterday might make some in the football world begin to rate the Swans as a premiership threat.

NPR's Planet Money Follows The Life Of A T-Shirt
By editor
Originally published on Tue December 17, 2013 9:03 am
If you've been listening to NPR this week, you've probably heard about something called the t-shirt project.
Months ago, Planet Money had the idea to design a t-shirt and follow it around the world as it was manufactured.
The project took the Planet Money team around the globe: from factories in Bangladesh and Colombia, to cotton farms and container ships.
Planet Money contributing editor Alex Blumberg is leader of the project and joins Here & Now's Jeremy Hobson to explain.

The New England Patriots' defense might be a little less terrible starting this week. Newly-acquired cornerback Aqib Talib, who came to Foxborough two weeks ago via a trade with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is eligible to play this week against the Indianapolis Colts after serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. (photo: Scott Smith, Flickr)The addition of Talib certainly can't hurt, as the Patriots' defense, particularly in the passing game, continues to get embarrassed by subpar offenses, most recently giving up 31 points and 481 yards to the Buffalo Bills in Week 10.New England will get its first real look at Talib Wednesday when the team returns to the field for practice. Until then, Patriots coach Bill Belichick and his staff after working out the non-physical kinks."We'll spend time with him, trying to get him caught up in terms of terminology and scheme and that type of thing," Belichick said Monday.

Year Ahead
For 2014, the field of social media for public services will continue to see growth and technological advancement as social data allows agencies to make their programs more responsive and user-centric.
Just a couple years ago, the question was, "Are agencies even using social media yet?" Now the questions focus on results: Are agencies effectively measuring and reporting the impact of social media services? And are those services accessible to citizens who need them? In those areas, there are limitless opportunities for improvement.
With that in mind, the top three things to look for in government social media in 2014 are:
-- More advanced analysis of social data for better performance management and innovative services such as predictive analysis, digital customer service and mobile development.
-- Acquisition of more sophisticated social technologies for agencies, managed by an increasingly experienced digital workforce.
-- Strategies and policies that deliver improved public services to citizens anywhere, anytime, on any device.
One development we'll see emerge is location-based services. An example that was recently unveiled is Twitter Alerts, which can send emergency alerts to your Twitter account from local or national government agencies. After all, when an emergency happens, citizens don't want to go hunting for critical information.
This is a promising start, and the technology already exists to take it further. Using a customized application programming interface from the federal Social Media Registry, individuals and organizations can create entire sites for mobile devices that not only aggregate key information from across agencies but also allow users to respond and engage so they can receive better public services.
Another innovation is the evolution of social media policies and performance analysis. That is happening as agencies better understand how social media and data can be used in their agency outside the traditional public affairs function. For example, officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are holding a public competition on Challenge.gov for individuals to use data from social media to predict flu outbreaks, information which can then be used to make response services more efficient and effective.
Social media for agencies will appear more diverse in 2014 as a result of advancements that tailor public services for customers. And thanks to policy enhancements, we'll more clearly see the positive impact on those services.

Please click here to view 101 Things You Definitely Do Not Know About Comics, a silent film by Danielle Chenette, Anne Elizabeth Moore, and The Ladydrawers, presented in a somewhat truncated and very experimental —possibly even unsuccessful!—form at the Museum of Contemporary Art on July 27, 2013.
It contains our latest creation, a survey about emotional labor! We're asking food service workers to participate by filling out a quick chart after each work shift. We're seeking to gather data about how you feel at the end of your workday. By gauging the levels of happiness, stress, and pride people experience in an average day, we aim to expand upon and better define the concept of emotional labor. This information will be used to fuel discussion and creativity at Life and Labor, a workshop led by cartoonist Delia Jean and journalist Sarah Jaffe. (You can also download the survey here: but please return it to us at the email address below when you're done!)
We encourage participants to share stories, drawings and notes about their on-the-job experiences. Just place them in the pre-addressed envelope and send them along with your completed survey!

Hey folks,
Truthout asked us to throw together some handy banner-ads for when they redesign the front page of their site, and the fabulous Nicole Boyett created these. Since the strip's being used in classrooms and linked to all over the place, we wanted to post them for public use. We're fans of diversity, you probably figured out, so feel free to use the one that is most appealing, and remember to use this link, which has all the strips—most recent first!
So You Want to Work in Comics
Delia Jean Hickey was drawing comics about gender and economics before she ever even heard of the Ladydrawers. (Check her hiLARious Station In Life Comics here. Like, now.) As part of the Ladydrawers crew, she researched the economics of the comics industry and, as a final project, drew comic from which the below is excerpted.
You can get the whole thing now at Challengers Comics, Chicago Comics, and the Graham Crackers in Lakeview, but by Monday they're likely to be at all the other Chicago comic-book stores, too.
Without further ado:
Readership Statistics IV: The Role of Marketing
The Role of Marketing
Do you think comics are effectively marketed to women?
What forms of marketing comics do you think are most effective in selling comics to women?
People may select more than one checkbox, so percentages may add up to more than 100%.
Do you think comics publishers are better or worse at marketing to women than companies in other typically male-driven industries like video games?
Do you think the direct market is good at marketing itself and its products?
Between the community, the cultural preconceptions, the content, or the marketing, which do you think plays the biggest role in the low percentage of women in comics?
Readership Statistics, III: The Role of Content
The Role of Content
What's the gender of your favorite comic book character?
Not sure what people count as "other" BUT I'm interested to see how close this divide is to the divide in gender of respondents.
Do you think content is a deciding factor for women who do or don't read comics?
Do you think women in comics are accurately portrayed?
Yes, I realize this was vague given the broad amount of genres it covered. But it's still an interesting breakdown.
Do you think female creators are better at portraying female characters?
Do you think increasing female creators in comics would increase female readership?
Is gender of comics creators a deciding factor in your comics purchases?
Readership Statistics, II: Perceptions of Gender
Perceptions of Gender in the Comics Industry
Is gender of comics creators a deciding factor in your comic purchases?
Do you think comics, as a form of media, are something that appeals to most women?
This is the response that concerns me the most. I'm hoping most respondents didn't understand what I meant – which is in regards to the FORMAT, not the CONTENT. It seems really odd that 70% of people would think that pictures and words together in comics form don't appeal to a specific gender.
Do you think the comics industry as a community appeals to most women?
This one doesn't surprise me because I think it has a lot to do with the responses to my last question – which is that most people think cultural preconceptions keep women away. If that's true, then the community wouldn't appeal to women who see it as juvenile and/or only meant for guys.
Do you think comic book shops, as a whole, are welcoming to women?
This response surprised me in a positive way – I expected far more people to think that comic shops are a big part of the problem.
Do you think the comics industry is accepting of women as a part of the industry?
Where do you think the comics industry is in terms of acceptance of women based on its history?

I know, I know. Honey comes from bees. But if you have dandelions and no bees, this is a yummy alternative!

Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera was cleared by doctors to resume physical activity Tuesday.No timetable was given for his return to game action, but it's expected Cabrera will be ready for Opening Day on April 5 against the Boston Red Sox.Cabrera had a small fracture in the bone under his right eye and needed eight stitches after getting hit by a hard grounder in a spring training game earlier this month. He was bloodied when a ball hit by Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Hunter Pence took a bad hop and made contact near his right eye. The 28-year-old is attempting a move back to third base this year to accommodate the arrival of first baseman Prince Fielder. Cabrera batted .344 with 30 homers and 105 RBIs last season.

1-2-3 inning as Posey grounds out to 3rd. 3-1 Giants mid 3rd.
Alright... a 1-2-3 inning for Mike.
C'mon guys! Zito ain't %&&%$$#@
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
Leake threw a 1-2-3? Ha! The games young! Young I say!
"Last week I helped my friend stay put. It's a lot easier'n helpin' 'em move. I just went over to his house and made sure that he did not start to load **** into a truck."
Zito's PC is up there. Show some patience guys before they pull him after 5.
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
The bats catch fire in San Fran leading to a dominant 2-0 start despite losing Cueto, only to go comatose once returning to GABP and looking at facing a game 5 against Matt Cain.
Just as everyone expected.
Perhaps Dave Concepcion can come back and play, he was generational.
That sort of thinking- and I've even heard Votto say it- sinks ships.
Todd Frazier outplayed Scott Rolen this year, and this year is the one where we are in the playoffs. That's kinda the end of it for me. Scott Rolen was great, he is no longer....he slugged .398...ugh.

Not sure if everyone already knows about this, but I subscribed to the "Bringing Disneyland Home" podcast a while back and have been enjoying a different Disneyland video podcast roughly every two weeks. The subscriptioin is free and I signed on after getting my new ipod last month.
The most recent podcast is a pretty decent video of the "Remember Dreams Come True" Fireworks. You don't get the full effect, obviously, and there's a bit of crowd noise to deal with, but it's kinda fun to take that show with you and watch it anywhere. You also miss the castle and matterhorn projections, but the sound track comes through very well and all in all it's much better than I could do if I were taping it.
In addition, my wife, due to her health situation, has not been able to join the kids and I for the show, and I've always wanted her to be able to see this. I hooked up the video out from my ipod a couple days ago and she was finally able to see what I've been going on about for the past several months. Pretty cool!
It's currently available on Itunes as a subscription, or you can go to http://www.oakfan.com for more info.
Is anyone else subscribed to this podcast?

Gary Bee, North Caroline High School teacher and groundskeeper at Hillcrest Cemetery, looks after 6,000 graves a day.
- Filed Under
Gary Bee has been looking after almost 6,000 people for more than 32 years.
"There are a lot of people I work above," he said, smiling with his bit of cemetery humor. He is the groundskeeper of Hillcrest Cemetery, originally called Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. The name was changed in 1890 to Hillcrest Cemetery Inc.
"I have been on my own here for about 25 years, but for a while it was my dad, Gary Sr., and my brother, Greg, doing the work here together. Then my father said he didn't want to do it anymore, so I took it over," Bee said. ...

Tear Jerker: Soul Music
- When everything is over and Death asks, clearly expecting the answer to be "no", if she has a kiss for her granddad. Susan, borderline Emotionless Girl and Deadpan Snarker realizes that being what he is makes him more alone than any creature in the universe, actually gives him one, just before going back to her school dormitory and finally letting herself cry over the loss of her parents, who died at the beginning of the book.
- In one line:
- "The music had poured over (the beggars). They ignored it. Music With Rocks In was the stuff of dreams, and there were no dreams under the bridge."
- Susan going back to the night her parents were killed. Death's line from the opening scene ("Yes. I could have done something.")is revealed to be directed at her, as he explains that "There has to be a law" because he can't create life, and then tells her they died instantly without pain as a desperate attempt to make her feel better.
- Buddy's innocence and fierce love of music (something he had from the very beginning) makes the music's takeover that much sadder and more sinister. What he loved destroyed him... and it thought it was giving him everything he could have wanted.
- On stage, when he begs the guitar to let him play his harp again, just this one time, this last time. Understanding that it'll demand everything of him in return, and pleading with it in his own accent — pleads as Imp, not Buddy — to show he's not being controlled by it, then: that sharing "Sioni Bod Da" with the world really is that important to him.
- The animated adaptation makes it an even bigger tear jerker because we actually get to hear the melody, and see the reactions of a few more characters, most notably Death.
- The destruction of Imp's beloved harp, the moreso in that it's such a stupid mistake that does it.
- Try being a serious musician and reading that line. Every professional/semi-professional player I know has built some kind of emotional bond with their instrument.

Healthy Strawberry Banana Muffins
January 4th 2012By Miriam Pascal
Everyone knows how well the flavors of strawberries and bananas combine. This muffin is inspired by my favorite smoothie. It benefits from the amazing and well known flavor combination of these two fruits, but there is an added bonus. Make sure to note the heavenly aroma that will fill your kitchen as these bake, as well as the wondrous smell that will fill your nostrils as you take a bite of the hot muffin.
English Summer Pudding Cake
November 19th 2014By ITONOCHEL
English Summer pudding cakes are classic molded desserts that alternate layers of cake or bread, fruit and custard. It is a classic British dessert that is somehow a cross between a cake and a pie. It is best to use fresh fruit and is great way to use the fruits of Summer when they are plentiful. Frozen fruits work great though and make the recipe even easier to make any time of year. This dessert is deceptively easy. It looks so gorgeous, but you don't even need a measuring cup to get this right. All you need is a nice mold, I used a flower pot and some patience, it has to set for at least 12 hours. Oh, you can wait. The best part of this recipe is you don't need a measuring cup.
Butternut Squash Muffins with Walnut Streusel Topping
January 4th 2012By Miriam Pascal
Obviously, these are a perfect fall and winter muffin recipe, but truthfully, butternut squash is available all year round, so you can make these delicious muffins anytime you fancy them. They work beautifully with canned pumpkin puree too, so if you prefer pumpkin, or if you are looking for an easy way out- go for it! The taste of the squash is not very pronounced in this recipe, but it gives the muffins a beautiful color and an incredibly moist and light texture.

Excellent place to stay and use as a base for exploring a beautiful area. The lodge had everything we needed and the wooded park area was very peaceful. We would recommend it.
Good location, nice and quiet, everything clean and tidy.
Stayed at Woodland Lodges from Mon-Fri. Staff were very welcoming and helpful showing us around. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would recommend it to anyone.
It took a while to find woodlands the lodges looked lovely from the outside smelly on the inside, there was nothing to do within walking distance, the reception was hardly ever manned, I asked at reception why there was not even a small park to play on and was told that it was for health and safety reasons, if that's the case then why have a pond where children can potentially drown, the tables in the "picnic" area were full of bird muck and was badly maintained if ever. Thank goodness we had a car and for the beautiful beach of Tenby and surrounding areas. There are only so many times you can walk through the woods and go"pond dipping"
We had a great week, helped by good weather. The woodland location was beautiful; the kids enjoyed building dens and spying newts in the pond. Lodge was lovely- spacious and well equipped. The electricity meter seemed reasonable, although we didn't need to use the heating the kids did use the sauna a couple of times.
Excellent place to stay
We've been looking for something alike for quite sometime,where stress and noisy environment are left behind, and your lodges do exactly this.
We really enjoyed the week we have spent over
Thank you
Carlos & Ana
Excellent holiday, we go every year, peaceful and relaxing.
We had a fantastic holiday at woodland lodges in April. After reading some negative reviews leading up to our holiday we were a bit worried, but everything was wonderful. The lodge was spacious, cosy and clean, fully equipped and in stunning surroundings. We had some gorgeous woodland walks which our two little boys loved. We spend most of our days on the beach in the sun at Saundersfoot which is about 25 minutes away, but well worth the drive. We found some nice little pubs not too far away from the lodge in St Clears. We had woodpeckers, various finches and other beautiful birds around our lodge all week, we also saw the resident owl. A fantastic week, friendly and helpful staff and great value for money. It cost £20 in pound coins for electric but this is what we were expecting, it was made clear from the beginning. We will return!
Fantastic holiday we had. The old couple staffs are really helpful and trusty .
very nice area, very quiet but disappointed about the outside space to unit, there was a lack of privacy.
The beds were extremely uncomfortable as the mattresses were lumpy and you could feel the springs.
We had a fantastic short break here, admittedly helped by the weather.
The site offers peace and tranquility (shattered by our children) and is a good base from which to explore this lovely part of the world. But do note there's not much close by. Accommodation was comfortable and of good standard, better than I was expecting. Don't be put off by the coin meter for the electricity, we only put in about £7 Monday-Friday.
I would happily recommend this site to others as a comfortable base and great value for money.
an excellant experience, we received a telephone call on the morning we were due to arrive to give us clear directions to find the site, also we were going to be arriving around 6.30pm so we were given a mobile number as it was out of office hours. The gentleman was their to greet us when we arrived at 6.00pm, very courteous, showed us to our lodge,excellant level of service.
we have stayed several times previous at Cheddar woods, and once at pooley, bridge and now St Clears, we have already been looking through the brochure to book others.
Beautiful quiet location. The lodges were spacious, clean and comfortable, but the appliances foul do with being replaced. jay lodge us perfect for two families as the description states.
Thin duvet on beds. Electricity should be included.
way to expensive for electric. had hardly anything on yet still cost me over £50 for the week. Even at home i only use £10 a week and thats with 5 computers and tv 's
