Experience one of the country's great gardens
Hidcote is an Arts and Crafts garden in the north Cotswolds, a stone's throw from Stratford-upon-Avon. Created by the talented American horticulturist, Major Lawrence Johnston its colourful and intricately designed outdoor 'rooms' are always full of surprises. It's a must-see if you're on holiday in the Cotswolds.
Explore the maze of narrow paved pathways and discover secret gardens, magnificent vistas and plants that burst with colour. Many of the plants found growing in the garden were collected from Johnston's many plant hunting trips to far away places. It's the perfect place if you're in need of gardening inspiration.
Find a quiet spot and sit on one of the ornate benches and watch green woodpeckers search for their lunch or listen to the calls from the buzzards circling overhead. Time it right and you might catch a glimpse of the elusive hummingbird moth.
Meander through the intricate gardens and into the Wilderness. This secluded stretch of tall trees is just right for a picnic. Take a glimpse beyond the boundary and see the garden blend effortlessly into the countryside beyond.
The Monarch's Way path runs close-by. Follow it for a brief time from the car park and into the chocolate-box Cotswold hamlet of Hidcote Bartrim. You'll be treated to traditionally thatched stone cottages that were once home to Johnston's gardeners. They're now owned by the Trust and rented out.
Go on a virtual tour of the garden
Garden watch
Take a stroll to the Red Borders and see the vibrant dahlias in full bloom.
Wander to the Wilderness and see the acers starting to show their autumn colour.
Don't miss the apple crop in the orchard.
The garden is full of elegant flowering fuchsias.
The bright flowers from the hydrangeas are looking great.

Very friendly, our dogs feel comfortable!

Dominating the Marienplatz is the towering Neues Rathaus with its dancing Glockenspiel (Carillon). The Neues Rathaus is the New Town Hall. It is a neo-gothic building that was built between 1867 and 1874. It houses the mayor's office, the city council and the headquarters of the ...

Yesterday, after a relatively early breakfast, we caught a train to Munich to tour the BMW museum and to have a look around the city. As usual, we caught the Hop On Hop Off for sightseeing and transport but it also had the BMW museum as a stop so it was a win win.

Abschied Munchen
Today's our last day in Munich.
Not much of a day, we packed up all of our stuff. I had my first shower since leaving home! It was cold and raining.
My hand is bruised and sore from holding steins.
We got a bus into town and brought souvenirs at Oktoberfest, then sat around waiting for the bus to Amsterdam.
It's a 14 hours bus trip with a stop over in Frankfurt at midnight.
Not much else exciting happened today!

"But nothing this week can compare to American Party Machine, who kicked the night into crazy overdrive. These guys are completely stupid and, goddamn, I think they're my new favorite Orlando band. Like Valient Thorr's more outrageous redneck cousins, this party (duh) metal band is a head-on collision of big-balled rock & roll and campy ridiculousness. Theirs is a world where America and pro wrestling occupy the same holy ground, a carnival populated with costumed hype men with awesome names like Uncle Slam and Pat Riot. But as utterly silly as APM is, they also happen to kick prime ass as a rock band. It's big, dumb fun, to be sure. But it's laid down with titanic swag and conviction. And what all this pageantry and culture translates to is a cannonball of a live show that's hilariously rousing. Watch them perform and, like me, you too will join their retarded cult."

Looking for exciting things to do in New York City this month? Lucky you, Archtober is back for another year with a rich program of engaging exhibitions, lectures, conferences, films, tours, parties, and other activities to celebrate the value of architecture and design in everyday life!

From the long, long list of Archtober events, we have picked some exciting highlights to add to your calendar in the first week, Oct. 1-8:

Dwell on Design New York | Oct. 2-4
Dwell on Design New York upends the standard "design show" format with a forum that inspires new ideas & a fresh point of view. Designers, architects, manufacturers, makers, and you, come together to evaluate design, solve problems and uncover innovations.

 http://archinect.com/news/article/138032377/urban-parasites-data-driven-urbanism-and-the-case-for-architecture Urban Parasites, Data-Driven Urbanism, and the Case for Architecture Orhan Ayyüce 2015-10-02T14:08:00-04:00 >2015-10-05T10:20:59-04:00
at least some part of architectural practice needs to move on from having buildings as the only output. The answer to every urban question cannot always be a building, clearly. Whilst buildings may be part of some solutions, there are broader, deeper questions in play—good architects see this, but the practice (from education up) is still not exploring this implied question broadly enough.

A call for architecture, for architects, their schools, their buildings and their cities via the technology they still struggle to grasp regardless of their software driven shaping skills, a valuable read by Dan Hill of City of Sound. Technological effect is elsewhere.

This post is brought to you by Dwell on Design New York.

Extending from the downtown neighborhoods of Tribeca, the West Village and Chelsea to the Upper East Side, this year's Dwell Home tours showcase residences with bright, open layouts and details that are as varied as their zip codes.

Chicago Architecture Biennial participants Point Supreme's Nadja Apartment is a study in color and geometry: specifically, how vivid, geometric forms can unite and disassemble a space, giving the visitor clues on how to navigate and inhabit their environment.

It's a technique that has been employed before, notably in the Seattle Central Library, where an entire floor is swathed in red and the escalators are an eye-popping vivid neon green. In the Nadja apartments, the deployment of color and geometry creates its own energy and language within the domestic sphere:

The stairs serve as focal point for the house, helping to anchor the spaces that make up the upper and lower floors of the apartment.

In this same geometric color vein, the firm has also unveiled photos of its newest project called Serpantina, which is a linear shading element for an outdoor public space:

For the 'Square in Square' series, Brooklyn-based photographer Oliver Michaels creates geometric images by combining various architectural elements into one piece digitally. His photo collages are neatly arranged into a square and are made of "parts of different buildings captured in a chosen area or route".

Here are a few more of the London-born photographer's digital mash-ups:

My philosophy is based on: I think everyone deserves a soupçon of glamour in every bit of their home. [...] When people look back on early 21st-century design, they will remember: the chaos produced by the technological revolution, a chaos that can be interpreted as either depressingly meaningless or excitingly free.

 http://archinect.com/news/article/137426307/london-s-garden-bridge-endangered-by-public-funding-shortfall London's Garden Bridge endangered by public funding shortfall Julia Ingalls 2015-09-25T04:34:00-04:00 >2015-09-28T23:13:14-04:00
The London garden bridge project has been placed in jeopardy after a London council withdrew its support because of public costs and the Labour mayoral candidate, Sadiq Khan, said he would ditch the proposed horticultural Thames river crossing if he took office.

Thomas Heatherwick's proposed Garden Bridge, which recently inspired a satirical contest of unpalatable entries, may be doomed to remain a hotly contested rendering. The £30 million of public funds needed to fund the bridge has temporarily been withdrawn because Lambeth council leader Lib Peck said the cost is "unjustified." Both current Mayor Boris Johnson and chancellor George Osborne have pledged £30 million of his own to the project, but it will still need additional funding to bridge the gap.
 http://archinect.com/news/article/137355586/cheeky-a-folly-for-london-winners-announced Cheeky "A Folly for London" winners announced Julia Ingalls 2015-09-24T06:19:00-04:00 >2015-09-28T23:40:51-04:00
While Thomas Heatherwick's proposed Garden Bridge hasn't attracted universal acclaim, it has spurred an unusual competition. A purposefully free-to-enter satirical contest known as "A Folly for London" encouraged anyone and everyone to submit "absurd, illogical, egotistic and obtrusive designs for the public green space on London's South Bank which would be sacrificed for The Garden Bridge." Judged by Green Party leader Natalie Bennett, journalist Owen Hatherley and political cartoonist Martin Rowson, the overall winner, "Green Fire of London" is a perennial flame fueled by trees culled from London's parks to "free up vast tracts of new land for developers to use for luxury constructions." It beat out entries in a variety of categories, including Absurd Transport Infrastructure, Priapic Humour, and Greenwash.

Some of the honorable mentions, including "Jesus Square & Bridge" took a subtler approach, proposing the construction of an underwater bridge that would allow any species walki...

the greater L.A. area sees more additional heat than any other region, in part because of how urbanized it is. [...] Solutions include planting more trees and bushes, painting roofs white so they don't absorb as much heat and using lighter colored concrete on streets and sidewalks.

Beginning in 2017, the London transit hub that's been described as "a dingy, grey, horizontal nothingness"* will undergo a massive redesign to incorporate a new high-speed rail line connecting London and Birmingham.

The first phase of the so-called HS2, connecting London and Birmingham (before forking out to reach Manchester and Leeds in phase two), is expected to open in 2026, and developer HS2 Ltd. has just released designs by Arup and Grimshaw Architects for its outset station in central London, a redevelopment of Euston station.

Grimshaw and Arup's design crafts an incremental approach to maintain current activity at the station during construction. Additions to the station include 11 new platforms for the HS2, a new glass façade and three new entrances.

First opening in 1837, Euston station was London's first intercity line, and ranks as its 6th busiest. Its original classical design was demolished in 1961 and replaced with what has been derided by Richard Morrison of The Times as...

Instead of relying on a subway that breaks down and causes interminable delays, what if the 17 miles of London's Circle Line were replaced with three moving walkways, much like the ones in airports, that allow pedestrians to step on at three miles per hour and then amble over to a fast lane of 15 miles per hour?

According to James Pinkerton, an architectural assistant at the London office of NBBJ which proposed the idea, the travelators would be easier to maintain than a traditional train system precisely because of its three separate walkways. If one broke down, the "two further lines would run smoothly," forming a ceaseless band of movement that wouldn't need to pause for stops or be held up by one solitary malfunctioning train. Travelers could simply walk on and walk off.

"We came up with this idea that benefits the city as a whole," he explained to me in a brief phone interview. Pinkerton was also part of the NBBJ team that created the shadowless tower, which was designed from a s...

While often referred to as the world's most famous living architect, Frank Gehry is also known as a product designer, creating pieces of furniture, jewelry, clothing and appliances. To honor these design contributions, which have included collaborations with Tiffany & Co., Louis Vuitton, and the World Cup of Hockey, the California Design Museum is presenting Gehry with the Henry Award at the Museum's 12th Annual Award Benefit and Auction, held on October 25.

For more about the event, and to purchase tickets to the auction, click here. The auction will include items from Gehry and other Californian designers and artists, including Ed Ruscha, Gere Kavanaugh, Rudi Gernreich, Doyle Lane, Otto and Vivika Heino, John Van Hamersveld and Laura Andreson.

Gehry feels his work is never perfect, never finished. "It can never be perfect," he says. "By definition it can't because we're defective creatures."

As part of an interview about Paul Goldberger's forthcoming biography "Building Art: The Life and Work of Frank Gehry," Frank Gehry revealed the emotional underpinnings of his practice, going so far as to turn down work that would unduly hamper his emotional expression. As the interview notes, "[Gehry's] taken hits from other architects and critics over the years who have said that the buildings don't work inside, or that they're too hard to construct — but stubbornly and passionately he has held onto one goal: to create buildings that inspire emotion."

As with any great architecture, furniture design is a nimble synthesis of form and function. In the case of chairs, some designers have artfully combined both to create visually striking objects that are actually comfortable to sit and work in. The Eames line of chairs has of course received considerable acclaim, not only for their sleek design, but their relative hardiness. College dorm, office conference center, plush living room; the Eames chair can handle it, and look good while doing so. Similarly, Heatherwick Studio's ubiquitous spun chairs have become something of a pop culture phenomenon, partially because they not only spin the person sitting within them a full 360 degrees, but also tilt that person almost completely upside down:

When not in use, the chairs also can be placed sitting straight up on their small rounded base, or left positioned at a slight angle without rolling away. They are pragmatic primarily because they are so well-engineered: indoor, outdoor, wherever, t...

Prospects look promising right now for the Glasgow School of Art as their plan to restore the historic Mackintosh Building from a devastating fire last May pieces itself together. After months of debate about whether to restore or replace the Mackintosh, locally based Page\Park Architects won the competition to work with the school in restoring the structure this past March.

Most recently, the GSA received a gift of 22 architectural drawings of the Mackintosh Building, meticulously drawn and donated by Professor George Cairns from the QUT Business School in Brisbane. They're considered to be the most comprehensive drawings of the building in existence.

George Cairns' drawing of the East Wing Staircase.

Perhaps this was a stroke of luck for the school. Cairns first created the drawings while working toward his Ph.D. at GSA's Mackintosh School of Architecture during the early 1990s. The A1-size drawings, which are mostly drawn at a 1:100 scale, depict the Mackintosh as it was completed i...

A shortlisted finalist in the 2015 World Architecture Festival awards, CRG Architects' Bamboo Skyscraper is not only noteworthy for its unusual choice of material, but its vision of what constitutes a skyscraper. Instead of focusing on a single prominent tower, the design is a cluster of gradually rising volumes that interconnect and share a central vertical core. Stainless steel is used for joint material between the high-tensile-strength bamboo tubes, while EFTE is used for the facade.

Sustainability drove the initial design concept, as did a desire for fostering greater public space and communal interactions within the cluster. According to a statement by CRG, "It is up to artists, designers and architects to find an answer to the question how current technology can breathe new life into the urban environment and into public domain."

The 247,000 square meter complex, which boasts office, entertainment, and hotel/residential spaces, also has a helix slope for bicycle access.

The wildly successful BEACH installation is down to its final exhibition days at Washington D.C.'s National Building Museum. Since opening on July 4, over 120,000 visitors both young and old "splashed" around in its bubbly waters, lounged about on the "shore", and perhaps saw a live band rock out in the 10,000 square-foot monochromatic ball pit, designed by Brooklyn-based Snarkitecture. Although the Beach closes on September 7, that won't be the last of it.

Recycling the Beach was always part of the plan. Even before the installation opened, representatives of the D.C.-based initiative, the Dupont Underground, proposed to transport, store, and re-use its building materials.

The Dupont Underground has set its sights on revitalizing an abandoned trolley station beneath the Dupont Circle neighborhood into a public venue for arts and design-oriented events. As part of their inaugural programming, the group will take the Beach's more than 650,000 anti-microbial plastic balls and its 6,000 ...

Cheryl Smith planned to move "off the grid" and into a small house near Clark's Harbour, N.S., a year ago. But thanks to Canadian building regulations, the four-by-six metre structure remains half-built and empty. [...] Canadian laws require living spaces to have access to power to run smoke detectors and air exchange systems. But Smith said the point of moving into her tiny home was to disconnect from the power grid.

"I was a little disappointed in the fire service," said Belles, standing on the charred hillside next to the dome in his semi-rural neighbourhood on the edge of town.

Wildfires currently blazing in Okanogan County, Washington, have just broken the record for the biggest in the state's history. With fire season just getting underway and September looking hot and dry, the so-called Okanogan Complex fires will likely persist for months.

In Omak, a small town in the county nearly surrounded by the fire, many residents have already fled, forced out by the blaze or sickly thick smoke. But self-described "inventor" John Belles decided to stick things out in his self-made concrete dome house.

Surrounded by 12-foot high flames and extreme heat, Belles stayed in the house, unharmed (but toasty), until the fire around him had died down, leaving only charred vegetation behind. He told the Guardian, "It was incredibly hot but the house did what it said it would do. They said it was nonflammable, and it was." The house was undamaged, save for a destroyed electricity box.

Belles built the home himself 15 years ago, knowing full well of the fire danger in the area ...

The Related Companies, the city's largest developer, plans to "tube up" the residential towers in Hudson Yards, its massive real estate development atop the MTA's west side rail yard. The first large-scale pneumatic waste network to be constructed in the US since Roosevelt Island's, it will serve 5,000 apartments in six buildings, the first of which is scheduled for completion in 2018.

The scenic High Line may soon host more than tourists and weekenders: a proposed scheme to introduce pneumatic garbage tubes into a series of Manhattan apartment buildings includes using the underside of the former elevated rail line to mount the tubes (the rendering below pictures them in purple).

In 2003 in Utah, government officials decided to try a radical solution to homelessness: giving people who would otherwise be on the street permanent housing. Twelve years later, the surprisingly cost-effective program is a success: almost all of the people given homes remained in them, and the number of people out on the streets in the state has dropped nearly to zero. So what works and what doesn't architecturally in homeless housing?

James Furzer, a 26-year old architectural technician for the U.K.-based Spatial Design Architects, is currently crowdsourcing funds to build single-person housing modules that attach to preexisting buildings in dense urban centers like London, where 7,500 people routinely sleep on the streets.

The Fakro's Space for New Visions award-winning design is a great emergency shelter idea, but doesn't foster a sense of permanence, unlike Utah's Sunrise Metro Apartments, which take the form of a traditional (relatively aesthetically boring) apartment building ...

Initial renderings of the $300 million development depict a cluster of five architecturally distinct buildings distributed across the 2.6- acre site around a central plaza. In total, the project will comprise 333,600 square feet, and have 249 residential units. One of the architects' primary goals was to make the site as approachable as possible to invite the surrounding community in to shop, dine, or simply relax in the plaza.

Renderings and model photos were released today of Frank Gehry's proposed design for the 8150 Sunset Boulevard project. Positioned at the so-called Gateway to the Sunset Strip at the curving intersection of Crescent Heights Boulevard, Havenhurst Drive and Sunset Boulevard, Gehry's mixed-use, three-story retail center and 11-story residential tower (which is expected to achieve LEED silver status) emphasizes pedestrian access and preserving Sunset's relatively low streetscape:

Gehry reportedly said of the project, "[Residents and future visitors] should feel that they are part of L.A., a part of L.A. that has a culture that comes with it."

Our world is now ideas driven and our environment needs to be energetic, inspiring and even provocative. Employers also want people to stay longer at work and making the space awesome certainly helps.

Many architects are designing home/work boundary-eroding office designs, which purposefully mimic the comforts of home to encourage creative employees to stay later. These designs have been embraced by a who's who of movers and shakers including Google, Facebook, and Disney. But is this shift toward longer hours a great boost to productivity?

In The New Yorker, Tim Wu cites stories of "people [being] scolded for not responding to e-mails after midnight." He argues that You Really Don't Need to Work So Much, making the case that "in white-collar jobs, the amount of work can expand infinitely through the generation of false necessities—that is, reasons for driving people as hard as possible that have nothing to do with real social or economic needs." What agency should architects take in shaping future work environments?

I have been staying at the Georgian for about 3 years now. I am returning again This August. The Staff is wonderful...always nice. The last time I went was the summer of 07' and we were sitting on the porch with the manager swapping stories back and forth. My now husband and I are looking VERY forward to going back. Don't get me wrong, the rooms are small but I have been in 3 different rooms so far and they all suited us just fine. The rates are great and the staff are all very helpful!! Just to let everyone know all 3 times that I have stayed there I was given a full refund for my beach tags.

This year is "virtually certain" to be the warmest year on record for the United States, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has reported.
"The January to November period was the warmest first 11 months of any year on record for the contiguous United States, and for the entire year, 2012 will most likely surpass the current record (1998, 54.3°F) as the warmest year for the nation," NOAA stated on its website.
The average temperature in the contiguous U.S. during November was 44.1°F, 2.1°F above the 20th century average, the NOAA said.
Last month was also the 8th driest November on record, with the nationally-averaged precipitation total of 1.19 in. being 0.93 in. below the long-term average.

|Reviews for Droxy's Folly
| Cause-and-Author chapter 1 . 4/8
One of the things I've always found most difficult to accept about "Lord Voldemort" was his cartoonishly evil ineptitude. It should have been immediately obvious to anyone with more than a handful of braincells that the pureblood supremacy movement, if carried to its logical conclusion, could have only one outcome: the death of Wizarding society. That Voldemort was incapable of seeing this, and seemed to encourage it in his followers, was always one of those things I felt was aimed specifically at her audience: "See, children? Discrimination is wrong, because that's what Lord Voldemort does, and he's Evil."
So it was with a very high eyebrow that I read the story setup: The poster boy for pureblood supremacy talking about a kinder, gentler distopia? Welcoming all those of magical blood, regardless of birth? Well, not full citizenry obviously - what is this, the Americas? - but a reprieve from the Snidely Whiplash theatrics. It's actually kind of brilliant: Rally the purebloods and whip them into a supremacist frenzy so that they'll win your war for you. Then, after the war is over and they've had a chance to settle into being on top of society, you open the doors to start allowing the rest of your magical population back in. Why? Because you need them, and you only needed the purebloods for their money and fervor. In a dozen generations or so, the halfbloods and muggle-borns might even think that this was their proper place in society (I'm thinking of the caste system of India, or the various IndoChinese empires that have all practiced various forms of classism). Le Voila - a tiered society where the muggle-borns are the breeder class to keep the wizarding world alive, and the purebloods coast.
I also appreciate both your depiction of Azkaban and the lasting impression it left on Malfoy. I picture him a cringing, nervous wreck of a man hiding behind his robes and appearance charms and his role. An excellent beginning - and I'm absolutely DYING to know more.
| Clarine chapter 14 . 4/7
Très belle variation AU. J'ai aimé comment vous avez peint les personnages principaux, leurs interactions passées et présentes.
Beaucoup d'émotions avec Neville, Arthur et surtout Ron. Vous avez écrit des moments magnifiques avec lui, à la fois terribles et bouleversants. Vous avez très bien réussi à rendre compte de sa psyché fracturée. Chapeau bas !
Et en plus : un soupçon d'aventure, du suspens, quelques méchants duels (verbaux ou magiques)...
Vraiment excellent ! Sûr que j'aimerais bien lire une suite mais je comprends bien que ce n'était pas votre intention initiale (laquelle était de répondre à l'invite de Droxy). Votre HEA laisse toutefois espoir d'un dénouement complet finalement heureux et c'est déjà très bien.
Merci à toutes les deux (et à Droxy)

I've scrolled past this story a hundred times, and I'm glad I finally decided to read it! It's a great story, and you fufilled the plot well!

I understand that you couldn't overthrow Voldemort in this one, but will there be a sequel?
| Regina lacrimarum chapter 14 . 7/12/2013
This was one of the best written fanfiction stories I have read and you did a great job with the prompts. I loved that you didn't make it a world of grey, two-dimensional characters revolving around the main paring. Our happy couple are surrounded by people as vibrant and interesting as they are. Thank you for the story.
| Arciere chapter 14 . 4/27/2013
Wow. This was really well done, and I'm sad to see it has ended. You left the end wide-open for a sequel-are you working on one? I'm going to creep your Author page to find out. But I love your characters here, the way you placed all the parts, everything. Beautiful. Marvelous. Well done.

Each scene is unique.
had a great time reading it.
There is a second part? as continuous?
thank you very much for spending your time to write it!
| randomfan17 chapter 14 . 9/24/2012
That's it?! Nooooo, I loved it so, even when i wanted to smash Severus's face in. Epilogue, i need an epilogue! If not i'll just imagine they move somewhere far away, have hot sex, children, and eventually the downfall of Voldemort. I really loved this story and i'm glad the ending was happy if not completely happy cause Voldemort's not gone yet. Putting you on my alert list for any other wonderful creations that may come in the future!
| F3rn chapter 1 . 9/23/2012
AHHHHHH that was amazing! A brilliant ending, while still fitting with the prompt. I'm so glad you're considering a sequel! I went to your profile, like "omg must obsessively find out everything there is to know about these two amazing writers ahhhh" and when I saw that you said you were thinking about a sequel, I got all excited all over again. Can't wait!

have your own cow and chicken
Over a year ago
hey guys if you would have a cow and a chicken would you drink milk and eat eggs if you were the owner and you dont hurt them and they were free not in a corral or somethin like that xD go comment what do you think 😀
Please log in to reply.
Over a year ago
It would gross me out, even if I knew they weren't getting hurt.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
Over a year ago
I have contemplated this for a very long time. While I am still not vegan (though I have been vegetarian for five years) I avoid eating dairy because when I move out I can finally become vegan. But my uncle raises chickens (he's a farmer) and they are raised extremely humanely, they roam his entire property freely and go into their very large coops at night to avoid any predators. For this reason if my family needs eggs for baking I always ask that they only use those eggs. They're all unfertilized so honestly even though it's nasty if they aren't used the eggs will just sit there and get nasty so I say go for it.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

First of all, no human owns any living being.
I could never "own" a cow or chicken even if human-concocted laws say that I can.
But, I know what you mean so it's all good.
Just try to choose different wording next time so as not to aid the propagation of the concept of living being ownership.
Cow Udder Secreta (Milk)
I can see no reason why I'd ever have a cow around, unless I were maybe caring for a cow in need, such as a rescued cow.
In order to get milk from that cow, she would have to be impregnated.
For that reason alone, I can answer with a definite no.
If the cow somehow didn't need to be impregnated, I still wouldn't drink the cow's milk because it's not mine to drink.
I'm pretty sure I wasn't meant to squeeze milk out of a cow's tits and drink it.
And, unless the cow made it very clear that she wants me to squeeze milk out of her tits, I'm not about to assume that it's something she wants.
Aside from that, there's the simple fact that drinking cow udder secreta is disgusting and unhealthy and I have no interest in doing so.
Hen Periods (Eggs)
I would never have a hen around just so that I could eat her eggs.
I can imagine a situation in which I might be caring for a rescued hen who needed a home, or a wild hen who decided to hang out on my property.
If those hens were to leave unfertilized eggs laying around, there would be no harm in eating them.
It would be disgusting and unhealthy but not morally wrong.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
Over a year ago
If I owned a cow, she would never be pregnant and If when I adopted her she were pregnant the milk she produced would be for her calf, not for me.
As far as the chickens go, I have 4 hens as pets and they have not started laying yet… We originally got chickens because I was very against the egg industry and at the time I was vegetarian. Now that I am Vegan, I am still not sure if I can bring myself to eat their eggs… My wife is a Vegan now as well, but she feels differently. She is very excited to try the eggs. So I suppose it depends on the person and how they feel about eat animal secretions. I must admit, I miss egg salad sandwiches and deviled eggs an awful lot, but I can't imagine cooking and eating an egg. I think when they start laying my wife will eat some and then get sick of it she was never a big egg eater and would only eat them on occasion. Me on the other hand…. I was an egg ADDICT.
@VeganCaramel I found out (thanks to your link) we can hard boil the eggs and feed them back to the chickens!! Silly me I had no clue! I thought they would only ingest the shells for calcium not the whole egg! I will definitely be convincing my wife to feed most (if not all) of the eggs back to our beautiful hens <3You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

No.. not only is it unhealthy and disgusting, but it's animal exploitation. Chicken periods and bodily secretions? No thanks!You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Country diaryDerek Niemann: Bedfordshire
Corrections and clarificationsToday's corrections.
Things did get betterLeader: Gordon Brown, who will tomorrow be crowned as party leader in Manchester is bound to have his deeds as chancellor praised. Yet his decade in office is also significant for what it was not: Labour's traditional mess.
Rock and the rural revolutionLeader: This weekend's Glastonbury festival is a noisy reminder that the countryside is changing. Or is it? The reality is that if you travel 50 miles from any major city most attitudes would be familiar to Miss Marple, though with fewer retired colonels and a lot less homicide.
Editorials & reply p32
Get our troops outLetters: Richard Norton-Taylor speculates that it may not be long before British commanders start saying "let's get out of Afghanistan as well as Iraq" (That other noble cause, June 21).
The postal service under threatLetters: For a newspaper that subscribes to a progressive agenda, I found your leader on the planned postal strike (June 22) deeply worrying and dispiriting.
Purgatory for BlairLetters: The Migration Impacts Forum has now been launched by the government to assess the impact of immigration on local communities (The no-longer-nasty party is in denial about immigration, June 19).
Rushdie has got nothing to apologise for
Letters: Almost two decades ago, you printed my letter decrying the burning of The Satanic Verses. I made the mistake of failing to ask you to withhold my address and as a result received such hate mail that my wife demanded that we move house.
An offer the Lib Dems can refuseLetters: Your leader (June 21) rightly states that "politics is about power". The Liberal Democrats, it contends, "cannot always say no to it". Recent machinations with Gordon Brown have not, however, offered power.
Brown must act for the Chagos islandersLetters: We applaud Gordon Brown's proposal to review uses of the royal prerogative and hope he won't let government lawyers undermine it.
Face to faithFB Meyer was an evangelical of rare vision. So why has he been airbrushed out of history, asks Bob Holman.

Calling upon a diverse number of collaborators, Chris began to solicit musical phrases, incidental conversations, stories and textures. Few artists were offered more than a vague description of the project and none of the artists involved heard the final mix until the album's release. Mick Rossi, percussionist and pianist in the Philip Glass Ensemble, sent a duet recording with saxophonist John O' Gallagher; Dave Easley, who as part of the Brian Blade Fellowship once backed Joni Mitchell, provides a pedal steel guitar that synchronizes perfectly with Sebastian Krueger's voice and acoustic guitar. Fellow Asthmatic Kitty artists also contributed: Sufjan Stevens' emotive piano is bookended by Triptych Myth's Tom Abbs and nmperign's Bhob Rainey; Half-Handed Cloud's John Ringhofer's voice, piano and percussion echoes throughout as does vocalist Liz Janes; and Castanets frontman Raymond Raposa spins out a brief guitar duet as Curious Digit/Royal Trux alum Parker Paul whispers a short story about gothic middle America.
Ten minutes in, Schlarb cross-fades a recording of his son's in-womb heartbeat with white noise and together they become one indistinguishable sound. Elsewhere, Black Mountain's Stephen McBean muses inaudibly about music boxes as Schlarb's own children scream and play in the background, bassoons droning and bass clarinets chattering all the while. Schlarb layers these taped conversations and background ambiance as a way of reframing moments in time from their indigenous chronology. He does the same with geographic location. Recorded on the streets of Montmarte, Paris, inside an Icelandic home designed by Albert Speer, and throughout the United States, Schlarb assembled his orchestra of strangers for the last time as he recorded the final mix in his Long Beach apartment on June 1st, 2007.

"This is improvised music as art at its very best."- Ian Patterson, All About Jazz
"Chris Schlarb's Twilight & Ghost Stories is one of the most unique musical projects to come along in years… a monumental achievement."- Nathan Atnikov, FFWD Weekly
"Top 10 Albums of 2007… an experiment in sound rather than a traditional album… a fascinating experience."- Katherine Fulton, All Music Guide
"40 minutes of avant-garde bliss."- Jake Brooks, New York Observer
"Twilight is jazz in the same sense as the genre-smashing stuff the Art Ensemble of Chicago played from the late '60s through the early '80s. Which is to say that it both epitomizes and transcends the genre. In a world that allows the paranoid, antisocial, and self-obsessed to abuse art as a forum for vapid 'self-expression,' Twilight & Ghost Stories is not a Statement, but a gift."- Tiny Mix Tapes
"A triumph of minimalist folktronic gorgeousness."- Ali Maloney, The Skinny
"Schlarb is a talented arranger, producer and all around master of ceremonies, and Twilight & Ghost Stories ends up being a cathartic, improbably organic, and engaging CD."- Christian Carey, Signal To Noise
"One of the years more ambitious recordings."- Robin Hilton, NPR's Second Stage
"Top 10 Albums of 2007… These aren't songs per se, but an amalgam of feelings that Schlarb and his vast array of contributors want to convey to the listener."- Dave Cantor, The Cleveland Free Times
"Twilight is a unique and remarkably universal record, and one that offsets its projected loneliness with a great sense of warmth. Indeed, it's perfect for listening to in the very circumstances that birthed the concept, when you're alone with the weather, wondering what to do."- Joe Tangari, Pitchforkmedia
"Twilight & Ghost Stories is a finely woven tapestry of myriad voices; meteorological elements; and deftly executed jazz, folk and post-rock, all rendered in muted watercolor daubs."- Dave Segal, OC Weekly
"an unqualified success… it's impossible to believe that you've really been listening to music (it must have been a dream.) Even more difficult to comprehend will be the fact that it has not, after all, been raining."- Timothy Zila, Patrol Magazine
"Chris Schlarb creates beautiful, symphonic compositions."- John Zeiss, Prefix Magazine
"A freeform, ambient composition featuring cameos by 50 musicians makes exquisite sonic wallpaper, no insult intended"- Lorraine Carpenter, Montreal Mirror
"a delightful listen"- XLR8R Magazine
"But in Twilight & Ghost Stories, his first solo album, Schlarb turns his soul, rather than his instrument, inside out."- Phillip Buchan, Flagpole
"Rest assured, whether it's rain or shine you came for, this disc does it. The musical musings contained herein harbor an honest array of promises and pangs. Both come distilled. Whatever you want, and whenever, here it is."- Jonathan Scott, Stereo Subversion
"It is significant when the contributions of more than 40 musicians can be used to create a work as intimate as this… Twilight And Ghost Stories is a quiet epic…"- Craig Schum, Beyond Race Magazine
"It's actually a quite nice minimal, flowing electro-acoustic piece utilizing field recordings (mostly of rain) and improvised contributions…"- Keith Fullerton Whitman, Mimaroglu Music Sales
"There are far too many twists and turns to this record to really to list here, but the fact that it's all cemented together by that omnipresent rainfall and traffic flow really does lend an overarching sense of coherence to this beautiful collection of vignettes."- Boomkat.com
"Album of the Week. This is a wonderfully resonant piece of work, a beautiful modern challenging composition and a piece of wonderfully creative art – most of all though this is just simply a very beautiful, highly original and very easy to listen to album that you'll want to get lost in again and again."- Organ Magazine
"Chris Schlarb's debut album is, although more off the wall than anything this reviewer has listened to for a long time, a complex, but oddly moving sonic production… rather lovely after three listens."- Will Dean, Drowned In Sound

Dear Friends of Humanity Healing,
We recently sent out a report sharing that the recent news from the vocational center at Future Victory School is that 30 of the goats were traded for 2 cows.
The cows will provide a great source of nourishment (in the form of milk) for the children at FVS and give the children in the program the opportunity to expand their knowledge and skills of livestock management.
I am attaching pictures of the cows in question. It appears that they are also fond of the Learning Landscape which we recently completed at FVS. :-)
As the goats produce 2 kids per pregnancy, we expect the goat herd to come back up to size quickly.
