Nothing is as profound as BUDDHA LAW. Of all teachings in the
world it is the most wondrous and highest science. To open up this field,
ordinary people have to fundamentally change their way of thinking. Failing
that, the reality of the universe will forever remain something of a myth to
mankind, and ordinary people will forever grope around inside the box created by
their own ignorance.
So just what exactly is BUDDHA LAW, then? Is it religion? Is
it philosophy? That is just how the "cutting edge" scholars of
Buddhism see it. They merely study it on a theoretical level, subjecting it to
criticism and so-called research, as if it were philosophy. The truth is, BUDDHA
LAW is not limited to the little portion in scriptures, which is only BUDDHA LAWs
initial-level Law. Instead, there is nothing that BUDDHA LAW cannot explainit
thoroughly unravels all mysteries, from those of particles and molecules to
those of the universe, from small things to great things. It is a different
discourse at different levels on the nature of the universeto be True, Good,
and Endureat different levels, what Daoists call "the Dao," or what
Buddhists call "the Law."
No matter how advanced the science of todays human race
may be, it can only account for a portion of the universes mysteries. Once we
mention specific phenomena of BUDDHA LAW, there is always someone who says,
"Were in the electronic age now, and science is so advanced. Spaceships
have flown to other planets, and you still talk about those naive old
beliefs?" To tell it like it is, as advanced as computers may be, they cant
compare to the human brain, which to this day is a mystery that baffles
researchers. Regardless of how far spaceships may travel, they still cannot fly
beyond this material dimension in which the human race exists. The knowledge
mankind has today is extremely shallow and nothing more than a small part of the
wholeit is nowhere near a real understanding of the Truth of the universe.
Some people dont even dare to face up to, approach, or acknowledge the facts
of phenomena that objectively exist, all because these people are too
narrow-minded and are unwilling to change their longstanding way of thinking.
Only BUDDHA LAW can completely unveil the mysteries of the universe, of
space-time, and of the human body. It can truly distinguish virtue from vice,
and good from evil, and it can put an end to wrong views while providing the
right views.
The ideas that guide todays science are only able to confine its
development and research to this material world, as a subject wont be studied
until it is knownit takes that approach. As for phenomena that are intangible
and invisible, but that objectively exist, real manifestations of those things
appear here in our material world, yet they are shunned and considered
unexplainable. Stubborn people simply insist, without supporting evidence, that
those are just "natural" phenomena. People with ulterior motives have
acted against their own consciences by dismissing all of it as "blind
belief." And people who dont have inquisitive minds have shied away from
these matters with the excuse that science is not yet advanced enough. Mankind
will make a leap forward if it can take a fresh look at itself and at the
universe, changing its rigid way of thinking. BUDDHA LAW can allow people to
thoroughly understand immeasurable, boundless worlds. Throughout all the ages,
only one thing has been able to explain perfectly the human race, the many
material dimensions that exist, all life, and the entire universe: BUDDHA LAW.

'Kardashians' is fake says series Producer
March 17, 2013 by Dasha Black
Filed under Entertainment, Film & TV, Gossip
As if viewers did't already know it to be true, "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" producer has admitted that the popular show does not accurately reflect reality. Russell Jay, a witness in the ongoing divorce battle between Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries, was forced to expose the truth behind the lies that comprise "Keeping Up With The Kardashians."
In a 165-page deposition, Jay testified that there are at least two scenes that were "scripted, re-shot or edited" to make the hunky Kardashian ex-hubbie Kris Humphries look like the villain after Kim decided she wanted a divorce, according to RadarOnline.
Kim not only knew about Kris' "surprise" proposal, but she insisted producers re-shoot the scene because "she didn't like how her face looked in the first take," Jay confessed.
Jay also confirmed that a scene where Kim confesses to her mother that she was having trouble in her marriage with Kris was actually shot after she filed for divorce in 2011.

Peter definately didn't choke anything, against any decent opponent he wouldn't have won set 1. Ebden was the worst I've ever seen anyone play a set
I watched it only from the end of the 1st set. I'm surprised at your evaluation of Polansky's play in sets 2 and 3. I thought the type and frequency of errors he made were really worrying. Peter seemed to think so too, judging by how he is quoted:
After that [first set] it was just you can call it a disaster, I guess, said Polansky. Most of the time it was just me going for too much.
I wasn't that surprised that he lost, but it was the way that he lost that disheartened me.
Speaking of weapons, what has happened to his serve? He used to be able to win a good number of points on his first serve.

The Port Arthur Historic Site welcomed the first visit for the season by a big cruise ship, the Sea Princess, with around 2000 passengers on board, and offered another first, a new tour to the Coal Mines, an offer taken up and enjoyed by many of them.
The exclusive day tour, entitled Convict to Coalface, offers the opportunity to experience two World Heritage Convict Sites in the one day. Let by a knowledgeable guide drawn from Port Arthur's professional guiding team, participants explored the ruins of houses, barracks, offices and the dark, damp underground cells of those who once lived and worked at the Coal Mines.
Located in a now peaceful bush setting on the north western tip of the Tasman Peninsula near Saltwater River, around a 30 minute drive from Port Arthur, the Coal Mines, while less well-known than its famous neighbour, was an important element in the great experiment in crime and punishment on which the Australian nation was founded. Operated by convict miners, the Coal Mines was a place where the 'worst of the worst' reoffenders were sent for punishment, and also an attempt by authorities to make prison institutions self-funding or even profitable.
The tour includes coach transfers between Port Arthur and the Coal Mines Historic Site, a tour of the Coal Mines and a Tasmanian-themed gourmet morning tea, as well as a guided tour and harbour cruise at the Port Arthur Historic Site.
Around sixty passengers of the Sea Princess took the inaugural tour yesterday, and their feedback indicated that they were impressed by the experience. Port Arthur, which boasts a sheltered deep water harbour, is an increasingly popular day port call for cruise vessels, with no fewer than eight port calls booked for the current season.
The Convict to Coalface tour is an exclusive group tour available only by advance arrangement with the Port Arthur Historic Site Management Authority.

Although decommissioning - defined here as the planned process of removing, reducing or replacing health care services – is at the forefront of NHS policy it remains strikingly under-researched.
This project is designed to address this important knowledge-practice gap. The overall aim of the research is to formulate evidence-informed best practice guidance to enable the effective decommissioning of NHS services.
Work-package one will synthesise what is already known about implementing decommissioning in health care and other public sector settings. It combines a narrative synthesis of recent reviews of the literature and empirical evidence with the views of an international expert-panel via a Delphi exercise. Additionally, in order to develop a detailed understanding of the NHS decommissioning context, approximately 20 semi-structured, telephone interviews will be conducted with key informants from a range of health and social care agencies. In addition, five leaders of recent decommissioning projects in the NHS will be interviewed about their experiences and their views on implementing decommissioning policies.
Work-package two will establish the current range and extent of decommissioning in the NHS from the perspective of local commissioners. The online survey tool will collect both quantitative and qualitative data via a national questionnaire.
Work-package three will develop our understanding of how NHS organisations are currently implementing decommissioning policies through a prospective, longitudinal investigation of four case studies in the English NHS. These will be mixed-method and in-depth and a comparative crosscase analysis will enable us to draws lessons and facilitate learning with regard to the factors and processes that influence successful implementation and outcomes (e.g. in terms of service quality and efficiency) of decommissioning.
These multiple data sources will provide a rich and broad understanding of decommissioning and enhance both the validity and transferability of the results. Through application of a theoretical framework drawing on the political and organisational science literatures and actor-network theory we will develop new insights into the topic as well as aiding the formulation and implementation of NHS policy and practice. There is a strong international strand to the research and robust mechanisms for respondent validation and service user involvement. Through active and varied dissemination activities we will make substantive contributions to policy and practice in the NHS.
1 May 2013 - 30 April 2016
Outputs and activities will include:

We're hearing some analysts saying they don't believe the conclave will last more than 3 days. Is there any indication on how long it will last? Is there a frontrunner? What would be the first thing on the new Pope's agenda?

I found this great cupcake place called Cupcake Chic on Twitter and realized they were in Utah. Upon further investigation, I found that they are in my neck of the woods! I stopped by Art City Coffee today for a cupcake, got the Orange Cream or something like that, and it was DIVINE! Very lightly orange flavored cake with a very lightly orange flavored buttercream frosting. I loved it.
Yes, I know, I have a cupcake addiction. I get that, and I don't care. :)

Crate Entertainment Founded by Former Members of Iron Lore (Maker of Titan Quest)
I'm sorry if this has been mentioned already but I'm happy to know Iron Lore is still alive under different name, Crate Enterainment. They have acquired Black Legion property from Iron Lore. It appears Crate Enterainment has been in business for over a year, working on Black Legion project.
Black Legion, was being developed and pitched to publishers in late 2007 as Iron Lore's next big RPG title. The Crate team was leading the creation of this new property before Iron Lore closed.
I'm really excited to know Iron Lore is back, sorta. Crate's website doesn't have much stuff but some art concept of Black Legion. Looks very nice.

China Check: Tracy Porter Vivre
Last summer, Hyacinth gave me a few pieces of this dinnerware by Tracy Porter. The pattern is "Vivre." I just love it.
I love this particular tray, It's long and skinny and brown and floral and wonderful. I do believe that's a Dahlia!
The tray has four small bowls that fit on the tray in a neat little line.
And just like all the people in this beautiful world in which we all live…each bowl is individual. Special. Different.
I love drawing parallels between the human race and the bowls in my cabinet.
Makes me feel better about my unbridled addiction to china.
Tracy Porter can be found at any number of online stores. I think Hyacinth found these at Horchow.
But I should warn you: Tracy Porter stuff is dangerous. I don't even really let myself look because about a year ago I pricked both my index fingers and became blood sisters with myself. Then we promised each other we wouldn't buy another piece of dinnerware until our youngest went to college.
But then I found these three plates on sale somewhere. And I forgot the promise I made my blood sister.
I have a serious china problem.

Ree, they are really pretty. I have never had nice china. I love the designs that Tracy Porter has…I looked at some on the link that you posted. So colorful and full of life. Just love them…pricey though.
jennibell On Monday, June 22 at 6:57 am
Love your style!!!
Michelle On Monday, June 22 at 7:03 am
LOVE those!
Natalie On Monday, June 22 at 7:22 am
Oh my goodness, those are too cute!!
Jodi On Monday, June 22 at 7:24 am
Where do you store all of your beautiful dishes?! I have a few pieces that I really like but hesitate to pick up anymore because I have no place to store them!
Brooke On Monday, June 22 at 7:44 am
Why, oh why, did you have to show us these? I love them. So pretty and fun!
Maureen On Monday, June 22 at 7:48 am
Oh Miss Ree!! You shouldn't have… no really you shouldn't have.. I love these dishes, I am a newbie to the world of Tracy Porter.. from the looks of these beautiful patterns on these dishes I am going to be hooked for a very long time.
I am off to find me some.. Thanks!!
naomig On Monday, June 22 at 8:23 am
Oh, wow. I need those. I would have a china addiction if I had a bigger house to store that stuff in. Antique stores make me nutso with all the cool old patterns they have, where I don't have to buy the whole set, and can just get a few pieces to have a lovely variety.
Angela On Monday, June 22 at 8:49 am
The dishes are lovely. I don't look at dishes either or I would have to move to a new house. Or buy another cabinet.
Just a comment on the Trumpette socks: A couple of people bought some for my daughter (10 months old now -God hasn't stopped making girls). They were the best socks ever, not just because they are cute, but they actually stayed on her feet!
Allyson On Monday, June 22 at 9:17 am
Thank you for this post! Every time I see these dishes on your blog I wonder what they are.
Leane Zaleski On Monday, June 22 at 9:40 am
I had a deep love for a Tracy Porter set, but in no way shape or form can I justify purchasing it! You couldn't be more right — AMAZING designs!
Trudy On Monday, June 22 at 10:19 am
these are awesome dishes…I too have issues with china addictions! These are beautiful!
Marina On Monday, June 22 at 11:22 am
Oh I love these, and will definitely have to check them all out. These would make the best birthday gifts for a good friend who has everything already. I have a couple of months to locate them.
Thanks for inhibiting, because of course if I buy a set for her, I will save on the shipping and add a set for myself!!!
Carey On Monday, June 22 at 11:30 am
Oh-those are pretty!
DaniH On Monday, June 22 at 12:03 pm
I'm sure your blood sister will understand…
Nora On Monday, June 22 at 12:23 pm

Lisa On Monday, June 22 at 1:02 pm
Those are sooo cool! Love Them…
Laura On Monday, June 22 at 1:54 pm
I too, have a serious problem with serving pieces and china of any kind. I hadn't heard of this Tracy Porter. Such absolutely beautiful pieces. I love the colors and the funkiness too. Funkiness – in a good way!
HollieBerrie On Monday, June 22 at 2:09 pm
I am glad I am not the only one with a dinnerware addiction! I have to buy all sorts of Christmas dishes, bowls, cups, etc.
Very lovely patterns … I think I had space in that one cabinet….maybe if I get rid of ….
Charlotte Weaver On Monday, June 22 at 2:27 pm
I love, love, love these dishes, but am out of space for anymore. Think I had better clean out the cabinets and make room for more. I, too, love colorful dish ware of any kind.
Jenni On Monday, June 22 at 2:49 pm
Jessica G. On Monday, June 22 at 3:03 pm
Generally speaking I am not a dishes sort of person, I have trouble finding things that I love, BUT these just might turn me into a dishes person. I am in love and off to find them online. Thanks so much for sharing!!
Spruce Hill On Monday, June 22 at 4:51 pm
beautiful! I like how all the bowls are different!
lil ol me On Monday, June 22 at 6:19 pm
Yes, yes, yes! A woman can never have too much china, really. I've had to restrain myself from adding patterns to my collection, and it is hard work. It's almost as bad as my addiction to glass. Sigh. Enjoy-it's just a tray, three plates and a few bowls, Ree. A perfect excuse to have sushi with just the girls…or boys, you pick.
livinonthecrowrock On Monday, June 22 at 8:02 pm
Sooooooooooo cuuuuuuuuuteeeeeeeeee.
Casey Lu On Monday, June 22 at 11:54 pm
Those are breathtaking!!!!!! Love the pattern and the color combo, though they don't match my decor, they are stunning!!!!
Bette On Tuesday, June 23 at 2:49 am
I can relate to the 'problem'! There's more glass in my home than anything else. I also drooled a little at these pics. Love the plates. Maybe you could think of parting with some as the children make their own homes.
Tammy On Tuesday, June 23 at 10:13 am
Do you realize that you have a huge impact on consumerism? These bowls are sold out! (At least at one site I visited.) Yes, of course it's your fault. Duh!
pinkquilter On Tuesday, June 23 at 10:42 am
Tracy Porter resides in my neck of the woods – Ripon, WI.
There is a shop near by that has a great annual sale. Let me know if you "need" anything!
Cheryl On Tuesday, June 23 at 11:42 am
OH MY – Tracey's artists had at one time worked on a farm tucked away on a back road near my home. It was a neat old stone farmhouse – I'm really not sure if they are still out there or not… She also had a store in our downtown that I think it's her sister now runs under another name.
I actaully gasped when I began to read about it! – Little Princeton WI (her store has now moved down the road 15 miles to Ripon)
Grace On Tuesday, June 23 at 11:54 am
These are beautiful! Perfect for Summer…a nice dinner party in the backyard with these dishes would be so great! I do not know what Horchow is (SoCAL resident) but will do a search on her name and see where it lands me. Thanks for this Ree!!
Traci On Tuesday, June 23 at 12:14 pm
Oh, dear! Now you've done it! I just ordered these darling little bowls…but I'm going to give them to my daughter in law… so maybe that's an excuse?
Paula H On Tuesday, June 23 at 2:22 pm
So cute!!! When are you going to give these away?
AnnabelLee On Tuesday, June 23 at 2:33 pm
Ree, this is so naughty of you! I knew nothing about this china, and now I WANT it….all of it! So, when are you giving away a set of these too darling bowls and tray???
katie bee On Tuesday, June 23 at 4:08 pm
Tracy Porter ROCKS! Love her website/blog. Check it out!
livinonthecrowrock On Tuesday, June 23 at 5:13 pm
LOL! No wonder you have a china addiction! I want to look these all up online, but I am very afraid of the outcome…I addict easily. Is that a correct use for addict? Not AD dict, but a DDict'. Probably not, but you get my drift.
Sandra in Phx On Tuesday, June 23 at 7:39 pm

Evelyn in Canada On Tuesday, June 23 at 11:06 pm
I am trying to live more simply, trying to accept what I already have and make do with that. It's going alright except when you do a post like this.
You are making me lust after things! Maybe I too need another set of dishes or more serving bowls or a cute set of measuring cups…
Screwed Up Texan On Wednesday, June 24 at 8:05 am
Beautiful! I'd get better looking china, but my kids would break it I fear. I do own my great grandmother's china and am slowly adding to it missing peices.
Claire On Wednesday, June 24 at 9:59 am
It is totally your fault that I spent money on clothing on that site…that's my story and I'm sticking to it. ;o) I too have a china problem, but this time I indulged in the clothing sale. One item I snagged was the turquoise coat I was previously drooling over.
Wendy On Wednesday, June 24 at 10:03 am
They are beautiful……..but all I can think about is having to dust them!
Shannon On Wednesday, June 24 at 10:10 am
a lot of us with china problems. of all the habits out there, beautiful dishware is not one to be ashamed of.
joyce On Wednesday, June 24 at 10:18 am

Heather On Wednesday, June 24 at 2:27 pm
Sigh…. we could totally be blood sisters. I am a self-titled dish slu…. I won't ruin your posting about such ADORABLE dishes with four letter words (!) but I am proud to say I'm still honoring the Bowl Ban of 2003. That was the year things got really our of hand. Hi Pyrex!
Challice On Wednesday, June 24 at 3:28 pm
Those are gorgeous. Sometimes, years are, well, years. We have to satisfy ourselves before we're too old to enjoy them you know.
katie bee On Wednesday, June 24 at 6:42 pm
U R such a tease!
Pam On Thursday, June 25 at 12:28 am
I can come out of the china closet now. Thought I was alone in my adoration of all things china and dishware.
These are so pretty! I think I need them.
Monica On Thursday, June 25 at 8:43 am
These are the cutest! Wish I could get some, but I've already got plenty of other dishes.
Stephanie On Thursday, June 25 at 9:49 am
Whoa, WOW whoa…I think I would have broken the blood oath as well, and I absoutely love the bowls.
Micki On Thursday, June 25 at 2:50 pm
I, too, have a serious bowl addiction. I just don't have the funding to go too nuts [yet!].
These are delightful!
Angela Tippets On Thursday, June 25 at 7:28 pm
WOW!! Those sets are beautiful! Let me know when you will be giving a set of those away
michelleb On Friday, June 26 at 5:52 am
I, too, have made a promise to myself "not to look." I find odd-ball pieces at Marshall's & TJ Maxx, but what is so great is that really, all of her pieces go together.
Your little tray and bowls are wonderful!
Jess On Friday, June 26 at 7:42 am
can I have some?
PamperingBeki On Friday, June 26 at 8:58 am
Tracy Porter's work is so beautiful!
I love it.
Susan A On Friday, June 26 at 3:38 pm
Just saw your Tracy Porter blog, I luv!!!! her stuff. I just bought a lamp (porcelain and painted tin) and ordered three ceiling fixtures to hang over my kitchen island. Red (the best color in the world!) painted tin and handblown glass. I can't wait til they come in and I can get my son-in-law, the stud muffin, to put them in!
Bonny On Wednesday, July 1 at 1:55 pm
I collect older Tracy Porter glass hand-painted vases. I have around 20 now. Addictive? Can anybody fill me in on their history??
Washington Cube On Thursday, July 9 at 7:48 pm
Tracy's Artesian Road is my "everyday." Somehow the colors seems to work with everything. Now if I could just afford a lot of William Yeoward…crystal and china.
Gratsia On Friday, October 2 at 1:45 pm

very nice service; only problem i had with it was the limited menu. should add egg benedict please
Posted by Anonymous on 02/16/2010
The bagels here are pretty decent. I love getting one after a long bike ride on my way home, just get there early as they will sell out by afternoon. The burger is pretty ok. The patty could be better but the fixings and fries make up for it. Never a questionably stale bun either, which is a treat for this neighborhood.

I love the food and the drinks. They have great service. The workers always look happy and know how to cheer you up when your down or not happy.
Posted by Californian on 05/27/2006
Whenever we go through San Francisco, we make a point of eating at the Bean Bag Cafe. There are so many interesting items on the menu, and all of them are very good or great. In particular, the portobello sandwich is one of the best things I've ever tasted. The atmosphere is reminiscent of 1960s San Francisco, but not self-consciously so.

The blue bite valve has a clear covering over it. The space in between them is a breeding ground for mold/mildew.And before anyone starts commenting, I've only ever used water with my platypus bottles/tubes, and I usually keep them stored in the fridge when they aren't in use.Great idea, poor execution.
Also, the valve itself requires a bit of "finesse" to it- you can't just chomp down, you have to delicately pinch at just the right amount of pressure.

Knowledge is an important component of success in any field. To accomplish anything worthwhile often requires years of study. But knowledge alone is not power; it becomes powerful only when it is applied through positive action. Study after study of successful people reveals that they have a bias for action. They gather the appropriate facts, relate them to their knowledge about the subject, develop an implementation plan, and then get into action. When in doubt, it's far better to act too soon rather than too late.

Choose double duty furniture in a small space.
Q. I live in a bachelor apartment that is approximately 22 feet x 17 feet. How do I make it suitable as a living and sleeping area without having too much clutter and people sitting on my bed?
? Jennifer
A. Small space living is always challenging, but no matter the size of the room, there are always ways to make it not only livable, but practical and stylish as well.
A daybed is a perfect solution for your space. Camouflaged as a sofa with stylish pillows and finished off with a storage ottoman/coffee table, no one will know it is transformed into your bed at night! Use storage containers under the bed if space permits, and install shelving over the daybed for displaying picture groupings. A large mirror or group of mirrors over the daybed will also reflect light and space, making the room seem larger.
A small, round table can act as an end table/breakfast area. Placed beside the daybed with a few books and a pretty lamp, it works as an end table or night table, and flanked with pretty bistro chairs it becomes a dining table.
Hinged ottomans do double duty as storage benches and are great for small living spaces. These can be used at the foot of your daybed as an ottoman, an extra seat, a laundry hamper, or a storage bin for all of the apartment's clutter.

From a massive bird-like dinosaur nearly twice the height of a man, to a smaller dinosaur with fully developed modern feathers, China is revealing more and more spectacular dinosaur fossils.
Fossil hunters, such as dinosaur expert Xu Xing, are uncovering some of the world's most important dinosaur finds. Many of them are winged and feathered and give us clues about the origin of birds and how flight and feathers evolved.
Scientists at the Natural History Museum have studied many types of dinosaur fossil finds. They have revealed evidence for things such as how the oldest known bird, Archaeopteryx , had the power of flight, and how some dinosaurs looked after their young in creches.
Dinosaur expert at the Museum, Paul Barrett, has just returned from China and explains why the finds from China are so important.
'The often stunning dinosaur fossils being found in China are offering huge amounts of new information on several dinosaur groups, in particular those that are close to the origin of birds: they are helping to close several long-running and acrimonious debates.'
China has an abundance of rocks that are the right age and type to reveal fossils. The deposits date from the Mesozoic Era between 250-65 million years ago, a time also known as 'The Age of Dinosaurs'.
Large areas of China are sparsely populated and, combined with vast landscapes with little vegetation, make fossils easier to find. The exposed land is also constantly being weathered allowing new fossils to emerge.
Palaeontologist Xu Xing has been described as China's Indiana Jones. He has uncovered 30 new species in the last 15 years and is the most prolific namer of new dinosaur species alive today.
'Xu Xing has become one of the world's leading dinosaur experts,' says Barrett.
'He is a great fieldworker and adept at spotting new and interesting specimens, a talent coupled with an excellent knowledge of dinosaur anatomy'.
Some of the spectacular winged and feathered specimens were discovered by Xu. Gigantoraptor was a massive bird-like dinosaur that weighed more than a tonne. Its fossils were discovered in 2007. Microraptor (pictured above) was a smaller dinosaur with fully developed modern feathers.
Archaeopteryx was a small insect-eating bird with feathers and dinosaur-like features such as teeth and clawed hands. It is the first known bird, living around 147 million years ago during the Upper Jurassic period.
These winged and feathered dinosaurs are close to the ancestry of today's birds.
'China is making a vast contribution to palaeontology and this is set to continue for many years,' says Barrett.
'My Chinese colleagues find new and exciting localities every year and train more and more students in the field. They are certainly some of the world-leaders in this area of science.'
Paul Barrett will be joining the Museum's Nature Live team for 2 free events this week to discuss the Chinese dinosaurs. The events are open to the public on Thursday 17 July at 12.30 and Saturday19 July at 12.30 and 14.30.
