Great photos P'Doc - I would love to do a safari holiday.
Glorious day out there - have to continue with the big hack back in the jungle that is masquerading as my garden. Might manage a bit of Wimbers too
I have avoided posting on the EU thread. Why do some people feel the need to post nasty little messages on a forum like this one? Are they just full of hate?
Welcome back P'Doc - sounds like you had a good holiday - will look forward to some photos.
Best wishes to all those with chestikoffs / sore throats / sicky bugs - keep them to yourselves
Woah! everybody!
Nobody should be urging DD to talk to Charlie before she feels the time is right - she is the only one who knows her son and can gauge how mature he is to cope with information.
My suggestion was merely that she should try to have some sort of response ready if Charlie himself directly and unexpectedly asks if mummy and daddy are unhappy / splitting up.
If he doesn't ask the question and DD doesn't feel the need to tell him just yet - then that is how it should be. Difficult situations take time to resolve and we all do it in our own way.
Not bolshy at all DD - quietly determined is how you sound.
It will not be easy telling Charlie but I'm sure you will find the right time and way to do it.
I have no experience in these matters but I would have thought it was important to be truthful with him. If you don't need / want to tell him anything yet that's fine - but perhaps think about what you might say if he asks you outright if you and daddy are unhappy / splitting up etc.
Children don't necessarily need to know all the facts - but they will remember if you said everything was ok when it clearly wasn't. It would also be good if daddy was saying the same things - but that may be a little more difficult...
Good to hear you have allies close by. Best wishes x

Still in bed
Plan for today was to get out & do some more in the garden - weather forecast was warmish, overcast and dry. Have just had another long, heavy downpour... After all the rain last night everything will be wet through. Very unpleasant for the big cuttting back exercise and the soil was so wet yesterday I'm not sure it was a good idea to be walking on it.
Might just do an hour or two this afternoon instead.
SGL - hope you feel a bit brighter soon
Hosta - have a good day at work
Dove - enjoy your trip - say Hi to Nut from me
Fairy - behave yourself - it sounds as though lone men are no longer safe in them there Scottish Hills
Joyce - re the Hampton Hack - it's just a major cut back and tidy up session!
For me it's a case of a good clear out of all the stuff which was looking so good a month ago but has now gone over & is looking ratty-tatty & overgrown - all the late spring / early summer flowerers - aquilegia, honesty, hesperis, some geraniums, bulb leaves etc etc.
It leaves space for summer plants, tidies every thing up and provides lots and lots of stuff for the compost bin (usually shredded with the lawn mower). It's also an opportunity for a good weed & dead heading before some summer planting.
End of June / beginning of July is when it seems to need doing - ie around the time of the Hampton Court Show. As you say, most of have been doing it for years without giving it a name
The Chelsea Chop is all about stopping plants to delay flowering or promote bushier growth - the Hampton Hack is more about regaining a semblance of order in the garden
Much needed in mine
The cats look very at home in the greenhouse Wonky - Flatters has turned into a handsome fella with a bit of TLC hasn't he?
Night Pat.
Glorious day here - at the moment... Forecast for more rain this afternoon so planning to get in the garden this morning and make a start on the Hampton Hack. Always nervous about doing it because it leaves big holes in the border. But there are cosmos, rudbeckia etc to slot in and it all looks a bit of a mess after all the rain - so I know it will look better for doing.
Lovely photos BL - will have to try to go back this summer.
It's up there with Hidcote & Sissinghurst for me - and maybe the best of those 3 because it still feels like an intimate, private garden full of personal quirks and taste. Love it!
I just got back too Dove & am having a cuppa.
Lovely day - thanks to you and BL for your company - lovely to meet BL for the first time.
As you say - it was good to do something positive today
Phrases involving hell and handcarts spring to mind.
Hope beyond hope that I am proved wrong and we can come out stronger and better from this mess.

Our modern society with all of its technological marvels and the wide ranging conveniences was made possible and sustained in large part because we have had the boundless opportunities this fossil fuel resource provided.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Pre-Game Scuffle
by Paul on 11/10/07 at 11:15 PM ET
Comments (0)
via Steve Zipaty at On the Rangers Beat,
During warmups, a helmetless Darcy Tucker and Sean Avery renewed acquaintances—-with words and shoves—-at the red line near the boards.
Avery yapped, Tucker took exception, they separated, then came together again as players from both sides gathered around and eventually, Avery skated away.
Tucker was just interviewed during the first period intermission and called Avery one of the classless players in the league. Tucker and Avery did have a fight in the 1st period and Tucker was asked if it was over between Avery and himself. Tucker said it is never over…

RYA seeks to broaden NHC appeal
by Emma Slater on 22 May 2013
National Handicapping Scheme For Cruisers (NHC) RYA
Since its launch at the beginning of March 2013, the RYA's new National Handicapping scheme for Cruisers (NHC) has gone from strength to strength. The base list published has grown from 1200 boats to nearly 1350 boats. Enquiries and interest have come in from clubs all around the UK as well as boat owners looking to get racing as simply as possible.
The RYA's Technical Department has also been out on the road promoting NHC to RYA clubs – giving talks at a wide number of clubs around the country from Ballyhome Yacht Club in Northern Ireland to the Island Sailing Club on the Isle of Wight.
As part of the on-going development of the scheme, the RYA's Technical Department is working on covering new aspects to NHC which it is hoped will broaden its appeal.
First is to look at including multihulls into the scheme, which were not covered by the initial list of boats published by the RYA. The Technical Department has been looking to MOCRA (Multihull Offshore Cruising and Racing Association) to see if they are able to assist in this area as the specialists in dealing with cruising/racing Multihulls.
Bas Edmonds, RYA Technical Manager, commented: 'Developing multihulls is the next challenge for us in making NHC as applicable to as wide a range of clubs as possible.
'Adding multihulls raises a significant complication to NHC as the formula used is exclusive to monohulls. We are looking at creating a new formula which takes into account the different characteristics of multihulls and linking that into actual performance with monohulls. Not a simple matter but one that we hope to be able to solve adequately.'
The second area of development is around the 'single race' scenario which is a weakness of performance handicapping the world over.
Bas continues: 'As NHC and performance handicapping in general require race results to build up a performance profile for each boat, a series which compromises of a single race only will not be able to be sailed using an adjusted handicap. We are considering methods of calculating an adjustment factor for a single race such that if the base number is wrong then we can back calculate what the original handicap should have been to be applied at the beginning of the race.'
Given that sail racing is greatly influenced by the conditions and contains an element of luck – working handicaps out on a single race is never going to provide fair racing. However there are adjustments that we can do to improve on the base list after a single race to make sure that some of the inaccuracies are removed. It will never be perfect but we can certainly improve on where we currently are in this.
The final part of the development will be for the RYA Technical Department to release the NHC Calculator to clubs on a request basis only. As NHC is not designed as a true measurement scheme, the NHC calculator will be sent to clubs only as what we would like to avoid is every owner or club member looking to measure their own boat and asking for a different base number from their club. NHC is a performance handicapping scheme and it is anticipated that every boat will move away from the base number after the first race based on its performance.
For more information about NHC, or to arrange a talk at your club, contact the RYA Technical Department by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit the RYA

Reading v Wigan Odds: Back The Royals To Claim Narrow Win
There are plenty of matches to look forward to this weekend but none are more important than the clash at the Madejski Stadium where Reading play host to Wigan. It really has all the makings of a relegation six pointer with both sides currently sitting in the bottom three and in desperate need of a win. We may only be in February but the loser of this one on Saturday will be staring relegation in the face with the back end of the season fast approaching.
Reading have done a reasonable job during their first season back in the Premier League so far but they still find themselves in 18th place and struggling. Brian McDermott has done a great job at the Madejski over the last couple of months and its fair to say that most Reading fans would have taken this position at the start of the season. They have won three of their last five games which is good form a for a team in a relegation battle and a win against Wigan would see their opponents start to be cut adrift in the drop zone.
The betting surrounding this match is tight but Reading are the slight favourites with Paddy Power rating them as 6/4 shots to win the game by any score line. The man in form for the Royals is Adam Le Fondre who is likely to be the main threat again on Saturday for the home team. He has been hitting the net on a regular basis since Christmas which has been the major reason for their upturn in form recently and McDermott will be hoping that continues against Wigan.
Wigan on the other hand go into the match without a win in their last six games and in dire need of the three points this weekend. The Latics find themselves 19th in the table, two points behind Reading, meaning a defeat here would be a disaster at this stage of the season. Punters will however know that you write off Wigan at your peril with Roberto Martinez and his team old hands at Premier League survival. They are coming off of a good win in the FA Cup last weekend which they will be hoping translates into an upturn in their league form, starting with three points against Reading.
Wigan go into the game as the slight outsiders here with Paddy Power bookmakers rating them as 15/8 shots to win the game by any score line. The man in form for Wigan at the moment is Arouna Kone who scored a couple in the FA Cup last weekend and he is more than capable of causing the Reading defence a problem or two on Saturday afternoon.
This will be a tense affair at the Madejski Stadium with such high stakes on the line but given the form of both sides, we like the chances of a Reading win here. While we can see both sides scoring this weekend it is the Royals who are taken to win with the 2-1 on offer at 8/1 with Paddys looking of particular interest.
Match Tips
Tip 1 - Reading to win the match 2-1 @ 8/1 with Paddy Power
Tip 2 - Adam Le Fondre to score anytime @ 9/5 with Paddy Power
Tip 3 - Arouna Kone to score anytime @ 9/5 with Paddy Power

From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
|This article is about a Japanese Pokémon Trading Card Game card which has not yet been officially released in English and, hence, may not be released outside of Japan. As such, this article may contain translated Japanese terms instead of English terms.

This card was released as part of the Pokémon Sunday "Lucario's Card" campaign at Pokémon Centers and select stores in Japan in January 2009. In Pokémon Centers, customers that purchased a certain amount of goods and could answer a secret password question as broadcast on an episode of Pokémon Sunday were given this card. Other select stores such as Daiei held a similar promotion in which customers were offered to trade a Fighting-type card for this card while giving the key password "Roger!". It was only available for one day in Japan.
- The card has the Pokémon Sunday logo in the bottom right corner of the character window.
- Pokémon Sunday is a variety show that airs in Japan, in which a Lucario is one of the hosts.
- Brick Break is a move in the Pokémon games that Lucario can learn via TM31.

Glenn Poor's has always been a company associated with quality products and services.
It is our commitment to be the best - to be recognized as the leader in our field. Because of this philosophy we have rarely sold a product merely out of demand, preferring instead to recommend those products which we believe are superior in performance and will maintain an honest value.
Glenn Poor's TV and Radio was founded in 1949 by Glenn Poor Sr. and his son, Glenn Jr., to sell and service the new phenomenon, television, with an unusual emphasis on expertise, service and quality.
Over the following two decades, Glenn Poor's sold a range of products dominated by television and music systems.
In the seventies, Glenn Poor's created home theaters, by combining video tape decks, large screen projection television and audio components, and designing stores to showcase this new concept in home entertainment.
Maintaining our focus on innovation, quality and service, we seek out and sell the most advanced and highest quality products at all price levels. Among the now-famous audio companies Glenn Poor's has brought to its region are Balanced Audio Technology, Smyth Research, Dynaudio, Wilson Audio, Magnepan, Jeff Rowland Design, Mark Levinson, Apogee, Phase Technology, Ariel Acoustics, McIntosh, ClearAudio, Dynaudio, Evolution Acoustics, and Dunlavy.
We continue this tradition with the best, and best value HD and UHD video displays, digital surround systems, whole-house music systems, installations, and consulting. Change is the constant in business and industry. Especially in home entertainment we see how many of the established names in manufacture and retail of even the recent past are gone. Glenn Poor's has been the exception by keeping up with the changing environment and focusing on serving its customers.
We want you to be a part of our future!

Gay men achieve world's longest kiss

Please put back the Ben Summerskill story PinkNews
With this comment from Brian Paddick still in place.
"The story published by PinkNews yesterday about Stonewall was, sadly, a largely dishonest account of what took place at Monday evening's meeting in Liverpool. We deeply regret that PinkNews chose to publish the story late at night without… double-checking and without having troubled to attend either the meeting itself or a party conference at which such an important issue was being discussed.
Ben did not say that Stonewall objected to the motion that would be debated on Tuesday because it would cost £5bn. For PinkNews to publish and fail to correct a story in this way sadly brings the whole of the pink media, which serves our minority communities uniquely well, into disrepute.
Can I say, I was at the meeting and that the original Pink News report, which I read before it was amended, was not 'a largely dishonest account'. On the contrary, I formed the impression that it was a fair reflection of what took place, even if it was not 100% accurate in every detail.
Pink News, if you want to put the original back, I will give evidence in any subsequent proceedings to that effect. Maybe "Ben did not say he objected to the Lib Dem conference motion." What he did say was that an impact assessment on the proposals produced by the Treasury, that apparently says the changes would cost £5bn over 10 years, should be published. He also said that some female members of Stonewall objected to gay marriage. Whatever Stonewall or Summerskill's views actually are, the clear impression he gave was that he, who was not there as a private individual but as the head of Stonewall, was against gay marriage. He may not have said it but he certainly gave that very clear impression, so much so that I was astounded and sought clarification. For Stonewall then to say the original Pink News account was 'largely dishonest' is quite clearly false.
I asked Ben, in open forum, to explain why the changes would cost £5bn and why some members of Stonewall objected to equality in marriage – "I want to understand Ben, I really want to understand but I don't understand". He accused me of shouting across the room at him (there was no microphone in a crowded hall and he was then heckled by people saying I was not shouting). He failed to explain why it would cost £5bn and he said I should ask the people he had referred to, why they objected. People in that meting, including me, did not get angry with Ben for no reason.
Pink News we've had our differences but on this one I'm right behind you.
Comment by Brian Paddick — September 23, 2010 @ 21:43
Having volunteered for other "gay" charities, I can say that it is high time Stonewall gets some fresh blood. They run their charity as a business and look at other charities as competition. They are obsessed by their market share and more of the same. They in fact are no longer in tune with the majority of the gay community, unfortunately, today, they just represent themselves.
this is excellent news but is there a link to the vidclip?
watched this live was amazing…. I'm really proud of them it must of been so painful standing for so long.
hope they get confirmation soon
What a fantastic PR stunt and a great way to draw attention to a great cause!
Well done lads!
Chester, try this –
It's good that they are only friends and not boyfriends, because after kissing someone for so long you would never want to kiss this person again.
thanks Chris – I'll look at the vid later

For five years the Obama Administration has emphasized the importance of Southeast Asia and its association, ASEAN. The President's recent cancellation notwithstanding, his Administration has stepped up diplomatic engagement with the region and with ASEAN itself to positive reviews both in DC and in Southeast Asian capitals. A recent swing through the region by Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel featured pledges of increased military financing and training as well as the sale of arms. The question now arises what specific American interests are being served by this engagement? What interests should be served? Closer relations and accumulation of soft power are not, in and of themselves, suitable ends. What strategic end should assistance like the Lower Mekong Initiative, joint training, and arms sales serve? Are arm sales to the region integrated into American force posture needs, or are the sales simply gestures of goodwill? Foreign policy is often about getting other countries' leadership to do things they do not want to do? Is the U.S. asking them to do anything? Are ASEAN or Southeast Asian countries priorities or strategies changing as a result of American engagement, or is the U.S. adopting ASEAN objectives and strategies?
Join us as we try to get beyond the rhetoric of Southeast Asia's importance to the United States and focus on its real contributions to securing American national interests.

Online cialis I am happy to announce that my interview with Dr. Online cialis Hsien Hsien Lei is up at Genetics and Health! The questions were very intriguing and made me think (always a dangerous proposition). Online cialis Dr. Online cialis Lei was chosen by Foxnews.com in their Best Blogs: Ten Health Websites Worth A Click listing – Congratulations Dr. Online cialis Lei!
Online cialis I found this old ad when browsing the "Center For Nursing Advocacy" website.
Online cialis Let's get one thing straight, online cialis right off the bat; let's address the most important issue here.
Online cialis The cap is stunning.
Online cialis 10/10 on the Emergiblog Cap Rating Scale (ECRS). Online cialis Perfectly situated and no "occipital slippage" in evidence.
Online cialis Okay, online cialis now we'll talk about the other stuff.
My first thought when I saw this ad was, online cialis "Heh! I've worked with that one!".
My next thought was, online cialis "Oh man, online cialis I've been that one!"
According to the Center For Nursing Advocacy, online cialis this is known as the "battle-ax" stereotype.
And it's a no-no to portray nurses in that fashion.
The campaign to get this ad off the pages of whatever magazine was an easy one. Online cialis I think it took three letters, online cialis if I read correctly.
I say it would have taken no letters. Online cialis It's just an unpleasant ad.
Do I find this offensive as a nurse?
Not really.
What is offensive here? The fact that the nurse is ugly? The fact that the nurse is angry? Are nurses not allowed to be angry or does that further the "battle-ax" stereotype?
But wait! Nurses are not supposed to be portrayed as angels, online cialis either in print or on film. Online cialis That's another stereotype that is a no-no.
Hmmm…we're not allowed to be pissed off and we aren't allowed to be super-humanly long suffering.
But what about the fact that in real life I've been both a total b**** and I've put up with things that would have made Mother Teresa turn her nose up?
Was I acting like a stereotype then?
Or is the reason this ad is so offensive is that it hits too close to home for some (most?) nurses?
I was originally spurred to write by this post at Salad Tongs, online cialis Anyone?
I had pretty much made up my mind that the Center For Nursing Advocacy had a victim mentality and needed a sense-of-humor transplant. Online cialis Badly.
That's not what I found.
I actually went to the site. Online cialis I looked at what they are about. Online cialis What they actually do.
Some of the campaigns were pretty impressive. Online cialis To me, online cialis if you are going to advocate in the name of my profession, online cialis you keep nursing in the forefront. Online cialis You make sure that in real life, online cialis nurses' opinions are sought…and given.
This is happening at the Center For Nursing Advocacy.
But for me, online cialis the operative word here is "real life".
Television shows are not "real life".
Online cialis Stupid ads like this one are not "real life"!
Online cialis Nurses don't dress like this, online cialis we don't carry needles that big and I daresay most of us don't run around with our boobs hanging out.
Online cialis And the general public knows that!!!!!
Online cialis This ad is obviously using exaggeration and parody to sell tennis shoes.
Online cialis Now, online cialis I am the minority here when I say this ad didn't even make me think twice. Online cialis Three-thousand of my colleagues did write and the ad was pulled. Online cialis It did hit a nerve with many nurses.
Online cialis In my experience, online cialis honestly, online cialis no one is going to mistake myself or any of my co-workers for a whore-ish looking Christina Augilera sex-kitten.
Online cialis Frankly, online cialis she looks like an idiot and unless you are a seventeen-year-old hormone ridden male adolescent who likes to fantasize about nurses, online cialis this ad would have run it's course and gone away anyway.
Which brings me to my point. Online cialis The Center For Nursing Advocacy has the voice and the power to do very good things for the nursing profession. Online cialis MY profession. Online cialis I saw some good work in progress over there. Online cialis I'll be sending some letters.
But there is a problem.
My unsolicited advice? Pick your battles.
Right now the first "battle" is trying to get "Doctors Without Borders" to change their name. Online cialis I'm not joking, online cialis here is the website! They think the name should be changed to show that nurses are a large part of that organization.
This is nonsense.
Imagine, online cialis if you will, online cialis the reverse scenario: a nursing organization called, online cialis say "Nurses International" travels to different countries to provide care free of charge. Online cialis There are doctors who work with the nurses. Online cialis But the doctors don't like the fact that they aren't mentioned in the name, online cialis so a (fictitional) "Group For Medical Advocacy" starts a campaign to get "nursing" out of the organization's name.
The outcry from nursing would be deafening.
This is an example of a battle that doesn't need to be fought.
Fighting TV shows that show stupid nurses need not take up so much effort; frankly the doctors are treated like they are stupid as well.
The doctors are so stupid in these shows they don't know how to practice medicine and have to practice nursing in order to look intelligent.
Online cialis I mean really. Online cialis Did you ever look at it from that angle?
Now, online cialis if a TV show depicts a nurse doing something illegal or unethical, online cialis I'll write a letter. Online cialis I did so when the BBC America show "No Angels" depicted nurses desecrating a dead body.
But are we as a profession so insecure that we have to jump on every single ad that may not show us as the epitome of professionalism?
You want nurses to be depicted as professionals? Then act that way every single moment of your workday.
The public isn't stupid. Online cialis They know a "real" nurse from a phony portrayal.
The public knows that a duck quacks and a duck in a nurse outfit that is called a Nurse Quacktitioner is not meant to insult. Online cialis (Would it have been better to make it a dog and call it a "Nurse Barktitioner"? A Meow-titioner?).
Another battle that didn't have to be waged. Online cialis Yes, online cialis I know 2000 of my colleagues wrote. Online cialis Maybe I'm the one who is off the wall here.
I don't think so.
I'm not stupid, online cialis either. Online cialis I'm comfortable in my professionalism and my position as a nurse no matter what the television is or isn't showing or what ads are or aren't being published.
If my patients have any misconceptions, online cialis then they are set straight the minute they meet me. Online cialis Me. Online cialis A real nurse.
The Center is doing some fantastic advocacy work.
I believe their effectiveness is diluted by some of the battles they are choosing to fight.
Give the public some credit.
Give us some credit.
The public will listen; the nurses will act.
If…you pick the battles that mean something.

I keep hearing that the Duke Blue Devils stand a good chance of earning a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament, and when I hear something like that enough times in March, even very early March, I tend to give it some credence. The NCAA tournament selection committee hands out those top seeds based in large part on the number of good wins that a team records (and on the number of bad losses that they do not suffer), and, as we'll see, on this metric the Blue Devils do indeed look very strong. But I'm here with a word of caution for you as you fill out your bracket this season. You should know that if Mike Krzyzewski's men do indeed earn a No. 1 seed, they'll be the weakest team we've seen on the top line in years.

Tuesday, kids return to school
and they are all in our care
Parents like to point out to their children that this is the last full week of summer vacation.
School resumes Sept. 4 for many students in Hood River County, Sept. 5 for the rest.
Time to start thinking of homework instead of home runs, buses instead of beaches, grades instead of Gameboy.
The return to fall represents those basic responsibilities of youth.
This is also the time to start thinking vehicle caution, the basic responsibility of adults.
The new Hood River school superintendent, Jerry Sessions, has two primary concerns for the school year: reading excellence, and safety for kids on the way to their buildings. Sessions is really articulating a community concern, but one that we must all be reminded of as students go to and from school, on foot, on bikes, and in cars.
The city has repainted crosswalks around town, and updated traffic control signs in the school zones. Police have mounted recent pedestrian right-of-way campaigns in recent months. Yet nationally, half of all traffic injuries were in crosswalks.
For the most part, walking to school is a joyful activity, where friends are met, the sweet smell of morning sweeps away the sands of sleep, and first thoughts of the day unfold.
Drivers can all do their parts to keep the experience a happy one. Starting next week, the kids are out there. They're in all our care.
Safety instead of speed.
