Gardeners' World is a long-running BBC Television programme about gardening, first broadcast on 5 January 1968 and still running as of 2017. Its first episode was presented by Ken Burras and came from Oxford Botanical Gardens.[1] The magazine BBC Gardeners' World is a tie-in to the programme. Most of its episodes have been 30 minutes in length, although there are many specials that last longer. The 2008 and 2009 series used a 60-minute format as did the 2016 series from episode 23, for eight episodes in total.
The show was presented until 2003 from the lead presenter's own garden.
- First was Percy Thrower's The Magnolias in Shrewsbury
- Then Arthur Billitt's Clack's Farm at Ombersley in Worcestershire
- Followed by two gardens, both called Barnsdale, owned by Geoff Hamilton in Rutland
- Next was Alan Titchmarsh's garden at Woodroyd in Alton, Hampshire, renamed Barleywood for the programme
- Next was a rented garden, called Burmans Farm at Shottery (52°11′29.59″N 1°44′6.4″W / 52.1915528°N 1.735111°W) in Stratford-upon-Avon which was called Berryfields for the purposes of the programme although it was often described as a 'top secret location near Birmingham'
- Partly as a result of changes in the presenters, for the 2009 series the garden was relocated to Edgbaston in Birmingham.[2] A playing-field was redeveloped and this garden was given the name Greenacre. This garden was intended to be a permanent home for the programme.
- In 2011, with the return of Monty Don, the base relocated to Don's own garden Longmeadow in Herefordshire(52°12′22.4″N 2°46′49.2″W / 52.206222°N 2.780333°W).
Critical opinion[edit]
As the primary gardening programme on BBC Television, the programme attracts vocal opinion on the merits of the presenters and the content of each episode. The 2009 season introduced several new features, many of which were not well received. Criticism[3] was especially harsh regarding the high cost of certain features such as the hard landscaping and raised-beds and what was widely regarded as the dumbed-down and derivative content. The 'Cool Wall' which mimicked Top Gear, a competition for training places which aped The Apprentice, children from CBeebies and content such as a feature on garden gnomes annoyed many viewers. Much of the widespread criticism was also directed at the fact that the show no longer came from a real garden.
The 2010 show saw public approval change, after alterations to the show's production. The show's length was returned to the original 30 minutes and several features of the 2009 series (such as the '30 second fix') were axed. The show concentrated more on gardening content, re-introducing 'Jobs for the weekend' and focusing on plant species.
In March 2011, Monty Don returned as the main presenter of the programme.
in 2016, new executive producer Paolo Proto (previously producer of the Great British Bake Off) extended the programme to one hour (usually 30 minutes) in September and October, also introducing new presenters Adam Frost, Frances Tophill, Nick Bailey, Nick Macer and Florence Headlam.
Lead presenters have included:
- Ken Burras (1968–1969) [4]
- Percy Thrower (1969–1976)
- Arthur Billitt (1976–1979)
- Geoff Hamilton (1979–1996)
- Geoffrey Smith (1980–1982)
- Alan Titchmarsh (1996–2002)
- Monty Don (2003–2008)
- Toby Buckland (2008–2010)
- Monty Don (2011 –)
Co-presenters have included: Alys Fowler, Chris Baines, Chris Beardshaw, Mary Spiller, Liz Rigby, Diarmuid Gavin, Clay Jones, Stefan Buczacki, Christine Walkden, Sarah Raven, Gay Search, Anne Swithinbank, Nigel Colborn, Geoffrey Smith, Roy Lancaster, Peter Seabrook, Joe Swift, Ali Ward, Pippa Greenwood, Rachel De Thame, Carol Klein, Bob Flowerdew, and John Kelly.
Theme tunes[edit]
The very first theme tune to the series in 1968 was a piece composed by Peter Craddy and played by Michael Saxton on clarinet. A year later this was replaced by the long-running Green Fingers composed by John Clarke and Reg Reid, played by Harold Rich & His Players, a version of which, with sweeping strings, was soon used. The most famous theme, which had the longest run from the late 1980s through the 1990s and is still heard in a slightly classical vein today, is a guitar piece that was composed by Nick Webb and Greg Carmichael. It had two titles, one for commercial release and one for library, Morning Light and Natural Elements. Natural Elements was the title track of a commercial album released in 1988 on MCA Records under the composers' band name of Acoustic Alchemy.
Links and spin offs[edit]
The former lead presenter, Alan Titchmarsh, teamed up with Charlie Dimmock and Tommy Walsh to make the series Ground Force. This was about rapid garden makeovers.
A book based on the history of the series entitled Gardeners' World Through The Years was released in 2003 by Gay Search.
BBC Gardeners' World Live[edit]
The BBC Gardeners' World Live Show is an extension of the television programme and magazine. Running annually in June, it is hosted at the Birmingham NEC,[5] co-located with the BBC Summer Good Food Show.
The show includes live appearances from the presenters giving topical advice and tips including many of the presenters. Most recently the show had a line up including Alan Titchmarsh, Monty Don, Carol Klien and Joe Swift. In previous years the line up has also included Toby Buckland, Alys Fowler, Chris Baines, Diarmuid Gavin, Anne Swithinbank, Pippa Greenwood, Rachel de Thame and Bob Flowerdew.
The presenters film at BBC Gardeners' World Live, with the content aired within the programme on the Friday night of the live show.
A number of new rose varieties have been launched at the show including
- 2016: Roses UK presented the new 'Eve Rose' to Simon Lycett on behalf of the Eve Foundation
- 2008: Rachel de Thame presented the new rose 'Prince Caspian' to actor Ben Barnes
- 2005: The show presented the new 'Duchess of Cornwall' rose to the Duchess of Cornwall

Personal Perspective Living With "The Monster"Winter 2008/2009 So the first question I asked was, "Are we going to die like those people on TV?" She said, "No, there's medicine out there that will take care of us. But this is something that will stay with you forever, until they find a cure." So I said, "OK," and acted like nothing happened. The next day I went to school and told my teacher, "Hey, I got HIV." She made a funny face at me and put me in the corner of the classroom and told all the other kids, "Don't talk to Raven. She is a bad girl." I started to cry. Every time I had to use the bathroom she would call another teacher into the classroom to take me. I never used to go on any class trips, because I had HIV. My mother always asked me, "Raven, why can't you go on any class trips?" I told her that I told my teacher I was HIV positive, and I told her what she did to me. My mother said, "Raven, your teacher is being mean to you." So she went up to the school and spoke to the principal. He told her, "If you guys were not so open about your status maybe she would not be treated like this." So my mom took me out of that school.

Others appreciate KY architecture more than we do
One of the drawbacks to Central Kentucky's growth during the past half-century is that so much of its beautiful landscape and remarkable architectural heritage have been lost to unremarkable development.
That fact was brought home this month by visits from two groups from elsewhere — a tour organized by the Institute of Classical Architecture & Classical America and a regional gathering of the American Institute of Architecture Students.
The first group spent three full days touring the Bluegrass's magnificent — or, at least, once-magnificent — classical buildings. Most of the tourists were architects, interior designers and other professionals from all over the country. To say they were impressed would be an understatement.
"We have seen a lot of great things," said Stan Dixon, an Atlanta architect. "And such a great variety of things."
The tour included several Lexington homes from the early 1800s: Ashland, the Henry Clay estate; the Hunt Morgan house; the Morton house in Duncan Park; and the Matthew Kennedy house at the North Limestone and Constitution Street.
The group also traveled to Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill; Josephine Abercrombie's home at Pin Oak Farm in Woodford County; the late architectural historian Clay Lancaster's Warwick compound in Mercer County; and Ward Hall, a grand 1856 Greek Revival mansion near Georgetown.
"Ward Hall was off the charts," said Richard Sammons, who was on the tour with his wife, Anne Fairfax. They are architects whose firm, Fairfax & Sammons, has offices in New York; Charleston, S.C.; and Palm Beach, Fla.
"There's a real wealth of architectural history here," Fairfax said. "It's incredible."
I caught up with the group at Pope Villa, one of three surviving homes designed by Benjamin Latrobe, America's first formally trained architect, whose work included the U.S. Capitol.
Built in 1812 for U.S. Sen. John Pope, the home was like no other in Kentucky — or anywhere else in America. Reflecting Latrobe's emerging ideas about what a fine American home should be, Pope Villa had many unusual features: Slave quarters and service rooms were on the first floor, and a grand circular staircase led visitors to a grand rotunda and main rooms on the second floor.
The Popes lived in the home only briefly; his unpopular stand against the War of 1812 cut short his political career. The home was extensively remodeled by later owners to look more like a conventional Kentucky mansion. By the late 20th century, it had been cut up into cheap apartments for students at the University of Kentucky.
After a 1987 fire caused extensive damage, the Blue Grass Trust for Historic Preservation acquired Pope Villa and began a slow, methodical renovation. The project remains a long way — and a couple of million dollars — from completion.
"I'm especially impressed with the sophistication of this house and the work the Blue Grass Trust is doing here," said Paul Gunther, the institute's president. "I had no idea it was here."
Gunther said the institute had considered a Bluegrass tour for several years, but he was surprised by the quality and quantity of fine architecture here. He also was surprised to hear how many classic buildings had been demolished in recent decades to make way for parking lots, generic office buildings and subdivisions of vinyl-clad suburban homes.
"That's the downside of your beautiful landscape," Gunther said. "It's not forgiving of development."
But Lexington's architectural legacy isn't just about the old and classical. The American Institute of Architecture Students' regional conference included a session at the Miller House, completed in 1991, with its architect, José Oubrerie, a protégé of legendary French architect Le Corbusier.
Fans of modernist architecture consider Miller House a masterpiece, but it is not everyone's taste — just as Pope Villa wasn't nearly two centuries ago, or for many years afterward.
After owner Robert Miller died, the Miller House was sold for development, and the home was vandalized. A non-profit foundation has restored it but is struggling to raise enough money to pay off the mortgage. If the mortgage can't be paid, the home will have to be sold and will face an uncertain future.
These two gatherings of outsiders are reminders of Central Kentucky's rich architectural legacy — and of how others often appreciate it far more than we do.

I really didn't start out with a geometric theme in mind, but that's just how it went. And then I'm like hmm I think I like geometric things and I never even realized it?
I love eeeeverything in that shop! The prints and calendars would go perfectly in my living room.
Have you been sucked into the geomtric trend too?

VCs always have a war story about the one that got away. Time to add the Pebble smartwatch to the list. The creators of the Pebble had some initial success raising $375,000 in angel funding. But when it come to raise a series A, Pebble was roundly rejected by venture capital firms that didn't want to risk betting on a hardware firm. So the Pebble team put their project on Kickstarter, where they have now raised $4.2 million and counting without giving away any equity in their company.
In a way, this is the dream of crowdfunding in action. The recent JOBS Act put new structures in place that would allow companies to raise small amounts from a big pool of investors. In that case they would be exchanging stock for funding, whereas Kickstarter allows a project to exchange rewards for donations. With hardware like the Pebble, much of the donations amount to a pre-sale, with backers receiving the watch before it goes on sale to the general public.
While physical projects like Apple accessories and the Pebble smartwatch have been the most successful at this, software too can employ this tactic. Retro PC games have raised over $6.7 million on Kickstarter in 2012 alone. And Light Table, an open source development environment, has banked $38,000 since debuting its project yesterday.
"With VCs, they worry about models and size of market and stuff like that," Pebble founder Eric Migicovsky told Bloomberg . "With consumers, one of the things I love about the videos, we just showed how you're going to use it."
As for hiring in the hyper competitive Silicon Valley scene, Migicovsky has a powerful tactic. He shows potential recruits the Kickstarter page when they arrive. "After we stopped talking," he told Bloomberg, "I told them to refresh."

The quality of this product is great. Instruction was very easy to follow. Noticed 3 mpg better on the city. I actually got 4 mpg better on the highway. Definitely notice the quicker response on throttle body and definitely noticed the HP gained. Not exactly sure how many HP at the Wheels. Goo products and recommend to buy.
Unichip, an alternative to fiddling with tuning
Reviewed By Sean Z (ALPHARETTA, GA) Reviewed for a 2013 Scion FR-S —4/5/2016 9:39 PM
I'm going to be completely honest-the thought of messing around with my car's ecu is quite frightening. I do however understand the importance of a proper tune, particularly if I'm to be adding aftermarket parts to my car. The Unichip's appeal to me was that I did NOT have to know anything about tuning...but if I wanted to later on, I could purchase some additional things. This gives me a perfect baseline tune for future tinkering and a better drive.

This unichip was by far the best performance upgrade I have installed on my tundra it really unleashed the potential of the 5.7 not only has the power and torque gained tremendously but the gas mileage has increased in BOTH settings at least 2-3 more mpg's I have not had it installed long enough to try out the mpg's in gas saving mode because I'am enjoying it so much in the performance mode...I recommend this chip to tundra owners.Respectfully SSG Bryan Stout

UGA faculty member, program win awards from Board of Regents
April 13, 2012
Print- Writer:
- Sharron Hannon
- Contact:
- Jere Morehead
Athens, Ga. - Sybilla Beckmann Kazez, Josiah Meigs Distinguished Teaching Professor of Mathematics at the University of Georgia, received a Teaching Excellence Award from the University System of Georgia Board of Regents, and UGA's First-Year Composition Program received a program award.
The Franklin College of Arts and Sciences professor was chosen for the award that goes to one faculty member annually from research institutions in the university system. Awards also are given to one faculty member from the system's regional and state universities and one from the system's two-year and state colleges.
Beckmann Kazez is nationally recognized for her innovative approach to preparing elementary school mathematics teachers. Through her book Mathematics for Elementary Teachers and involvement in national and professional organizations, she has led substantial reform in mathematics education.
"At all levels, Professor Beckmann has shown extraordinary leadership in enhancing the teaching and learning of mathematics," said Jere Morehead, senior vice president for academic affairs and provost, in nominating her for the award. "She has fostered a community of scholars dedicated to thinking seriously about how to improve teachers' knowledge of mathematics."
She was presented with the Teaching Excellence Award at the University System of Georgia Foundation's annual Regents' Salute to Education awards dinner March 31. The event is now in its eighth year of raising funds for student scholarships and honoring distinguished USG alumni and faculty.
UGA's First-Year Composition Program in the English department in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences tied for the Excellence in Teaching Award given to departments or programs in the university system. The FYC program annually introduces 4,500 to 5,500 UGA students to college-level academic writing. In his letter of nomination, Morehead praised the commitment and collaboration of those involved in the program and noted their development of , a suite of software applications designed to foster a writing community in the classroom by providing public and private spaces where students can collect their work and receive feedback from their peers as well as their instructor.

Wrestling with a Jaguar.
As with the similar product El Toro, The Jaguar is a wildly ambitious product that offers a lot of features. Most will probably find it a little awkward to put on and use, but I'm sure there's at least one couple out there that its perfect for.Published:
The Jaguar's got it all! A ribbed sleeve, a vibrating bullet and a cool, stylish design.
It's difficult to put on and might prevent penetration from being as deep as you'd like
This product was provided free of charge to the reviewer. This review is in compliance with the
FTC guidelines.
Another great review But you really need to start picking less scary toys!
I agree with Laurel
Good review! -
Nice review! I just got this assigned to me and I accepted to try something different !
Thanks for the review.

The NSCAA has announced their All-Region High School Awards. To be eligible for All-Region consideration, players first must be selected All-State in their respective state through a recognized coaches' selection program. Each state is awarded a specific number of slots on the All-America team based on the number of high school coaches there are in the state and how many of them are current NSCAA members.
The All-America Teams are comprised of the top players from each region. A unique characteristic of this level is that schools play in three seasons, so some players honored in the annual December announcements already have graduated from high school. That is the case for all of the seniors listed below. The underclassmen are now seniors preparing for their final high school season in March.

This was a good news i heard in the office, today. Friday afternoon will be devoted to physical exercises, to whatever games or ballroom dancing the employees may adecide. I have wanted for this physical exercises during office hours. I even recommended to have it twice a week, every Wednesdays and Fridays but it was not favored, for now. This is alright, already so at least there is a breather from all paperworks.

Fraley on the Election
Brief, from memory notes:
1) The lawyers will be here for a recount. Hanging chads redux. It will last a long time. You can expect that they will employ all sorts of lies, cheating, and other time-honored (D) Party tactics. Won't be hard to find them: they'll smell and act just like a cross between James Earl Doyle and Xoff.
2) The TEA Party is alive, and very well indeed. Fraley mentioned that the AFSCME, Obozo, the AFL-CIO, SEIU, and a bunch of other very suspicious characters literally flooded into Wisconsin and swamped the State with slime. They did NOT get what they wanted. That's because the TEA Party is committed and votes.
3) One Madison ward had a 97-3 vote ratio for Kloppenburg. Since the ward is in the People's Republic of Madistan, within The Most Entitled County in the Universe, there will be absolutely NO investigation. The local DA is too busy with other matters, and our AG is a most in-curious fellow.
4) The Public Employee Unions Lost, big-time. Dane and Milwaukee Counties no longer run the State. This is a good thing, as was the electoral map showing the Fox Valley as a solidly conservative area once again. That's the case even if the lawyering pays off and Prosser loses, by the way.
5) The (D) recall efforts will suffer. The Unions, Socialists, Obama-ites, Communists, and other assorted dregs of society blew about $3.5 million (not counting free labor "volunteering") into the SCOWI race. Now they have to find another wad of money and time--and it will be diffused over 8 local races. Decision-time for the money boys.

And if they get rid of motor voter and put in photo ID, the transient and non-citizen student vote will marginalize Madistan further. Sounds like the next bill the Leggies need to take up.
"You can expect that they will employ all sorts of lies, cheating, and other time-honored (D) Party tactics."

Neomom, are actually cheering the disenfranchisement of segments of the society you live in?
- neomom said...
No John, I am saying that you should be required to vote in the district/precinct where you have some skin in the game. Transient students skew elections in college towns and then they move away. I live in a college town, they vote for a mayor and councilfolk for goodies and giveaways raising the taxes for those of us who live here and raise our families here.
I'm not saying they shouldn't vote. Just vote where your permanent residence is - which for 95% of college students is their parents address. If that means voting absentee? So What? That isn't disenfranchising to them.
The idea that they can live in a dorm, take their student ID, not have to prove citizenship or residence - just have someone vouch for them - and register on election day and vote disenfranchises all the other legitimate voters and residents.
And no, I don't believe that a transient student population should drive the direction of the state. - 4/07/2011 9:32 AM
- John Foust said...
If I'm over 18, living in Madison, renting an apartment, relying on city services... you think I should only be able to vote where my parents live?
Do you live in Wisconsin? - 4/07/2011 11:44 AM
- neomom said...
If you are a Freshman or Sophomore, you have to live in the dorms, so no, that doesn't mean you are a resident. If you are a Junior or Senior, even if living off campus, Mommy and Daddy are most likely still paying for it. In fact, Mommy and Daddy are still most likely claiming you as a dependent on their 1040. So, yeah, they should vote where Mommy and Daddy pay their property taxes - be that out state, another state, or another country.
- Dad29 said...
There IS Wisconsin law on the topic.
Wisconsin law clearly gives students the right to register and vote where they attend school.[5] Generally, your residence is where you currently live—your place of fixed habitation—"without any present intention to move."[6] Elections officials are not allowed to consider student status when determining your eligibility to vote. (Brennan Center)
However, there ARE some questions about "dependency" in IRS filings v. "residence" in Madison. That is, if one's parents claim a UW-Mad student as a "dependent," then it IS possible that the student's actual address is his/her home address, not the dorm.
That's reinforced by the "no intention to move" clause in the law. A student DOES have "an intention to move" out of the dorm at the end of a school year. - 4/07/2011 12:00 PM
- neomom said...
That is what needs to change Dad - students are transient for years. Or the kiddos can start making sure their Driver's License matches the precinct they are voting in.
- John Foust said...
"Most likely"? What kind of strict, precise law is that going to make? Why not strike the right to vote from anyone you consider "transient"? Or who's living on someone else's dole? What do you have against students?
Do you live in Wisconsin? - 4/07/2011 3:53 PM

A High-Level Experience
Lions get professional experience over the summer, including senior's trip to China.
July 20, 2013
Lions Playing Next Level | 2013-14 LMU Summer Quick Facts | LMU on Facebook | LMU on Twitter
LOS ANGELES- Senior Ayodeji Egbeyemi had the opportunity of a lifetime this month of July, playing for his home country of Nigeria in the 2013 FIBA Stankovic Continental Champions' Cup in China. He highlights a busy month for LMU men's basketball players getting a taste of basketball at the next level.
Egbeyemi was part of the NIgerian national team program that sent a team to play in the two tournament's at the Stankovic Cup. The first tournament was in Lanzhou, China and featured Australia, Argentina, China, Germany, Nigeria and Puerto Rico. The second tournament was in Guangzhou, China and saw Nigeria take third place with a win over Puerto Rico.
The Stanković Cup was started by from Dr. Carl Men Ky Ching, president of FIBA in 2005 and the purpose of the cup was to honor Serbian Borislav Stanković, FIBA Secretary General Emeritus, for his significant contribution to the world of basketball. Being the only Chinese president of the 28 International Sport Federations, Dr. Ching selected China as the host country for the Cup. The Cup is organized to promote basketball in that country and to provide an opportunity for the Chinese Men's National Team to compete with other national teams from all around the world at the highest level.
Lions' All-Access sat down with the senior to talk about his trip to China and playing with a Nigeria team that was mainly comprised of those who play on the professional level.
He wasn't the only one getting a taste of the next level, as Drew Viney ('12) made his second straight appearance in the NBA Summer League, playing for the hometown Los Angeles Lakers. Ashley Hamilton ('13) also earned a spot on the Summer League roster for the Sacramento Kings, but did not play.

Corsair Gaming Audio Series SP2500 High-Power 2.1 PC Speaker System (CA-SP211NA)
"Purchased this system off of Ebay. Overall very good sound, impressive sound output with powerful bass response, at its price point ($250} I think it is the system to beat, the satellites sound nice and bright and do not get drowned out by the subwoofer's bass output at any volume level, this system will definitely get loud and I did not notice any distortion, I mainly listen to music but it..." --Croozer

Paradigm Mini Monitor v.7
Rome Wasn't Built in A Day. Neither Was Monitor. It took three emperors and 15 years to build Rome's colosseum, architecture that still elicits awe centuries later. And while we're not so bold as to compare the colosseum to the new Series 7, you have to admit the speakers look more than a little awesome in the backdrop of Ancient Rome. Good architecture will stand up well...

- I have some experience cosplaying. Unfortunately, I can't give you any advice about styling that particular character's hair.Anime-chanFrom: ameia6 <inazuma.pikachu@...>

Subject: [VirginiaCosplayersClub] New to Cosplay
Hi...I'm new to cosplaying I really want to join this group since I have no cosplaying friends. I started about four months ago as Kasane Teto (she's a UTAUloid) at AMA convection . To put the cosplay in summary in was a train wreck mostly due to the fact I didn't have the proper curls in my wig and I didn't have my red contacts yet. I have doing a lot of research in that time and I am going to NekoCon in 2 weeks so is there anyone who has expierice cosplaying as Teto and could you tell me how to get the proper curls?I would like start coming meetings as her.

Simon Wiesenthal was an Austrian-Jewish architectural engineer and Holocaust survivor who became famous after World War II for his work as a Nazi hunter who pursued Nazi war criminals in an effort to bring them to justice.
Following four and a half years in the German concentration camps of Janowska, Plaszow, and Mauthausen during World War II, Wiesenthal dedicated most of his life to tracking down and gathering information on fugitive Nazis so that they could be brought to justice for war crimes and crimes against humanity. As soon as his health improved, Wiesenthal began working for the U.S. Army gathering documentation for the Nazi war crimes trials. In 1947, he and 30 other volunteers founded the Jewish Documentation Center in Linz, Austria, in order to gather information for future trials. Wiesenthal also wrote The Sunflower, which describes a life-changing event he experienced when he was in the camp.
More on Wikipedia…
(55 quotes found)
"[He maintained that his motivation was not anger but justice.] I am someone who seeks justice, not revenge, ... My work is a warning to the murderers of tomorrow, that they will never rest."
Simon Wiesenthal
"I didn't forget you."
"When history looks back,"
"God must have been on leave during the Holocaust."
"Should history repeat itself, my example will repeat itself too...and not once, but fifty-fold."
"Human rights is the only ideology that deserves to survive,"
"I'm here to assure you that our city is prepared to handle these situations, ... Power was restored to the vast majority of D.W.P. customers, 90 percent, within the first two hours."
"We know that we are not collectively guilty, so how can we accuse any other nation, no matter what some of its people have done, of being collectively guilty?"

West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, which featured Arab and Israeli musicians. In 2009 he performed for the first time in Egypt, conducting the Cairo Symphony Orchestra. Barenboim wrote several books, including the...

An exciting new book has just been published by Museum Victoria.
Written by Live Exhibits staff Alan Henderson, Jessie Sinclair and Deanna Henderson, Bugs Alive! A Guide to Keeping Australian Invertebrates is the first of its kind. It covers everything you could ever want to know about keeping more than 90 species of Australia's most fascinating terrestrial invertebrates.
This is a unique publication, as previously available guides only covered the care of overseas species. It is also timely, as keeping invertebrates is becoming very popular throughout Australia – you can now buy them in pet shops!
The book includes individual care guides which explain how to keep over 90 species. Bugs from tropical rainforests to our own backyards are covered, each with a husbandry rating indicating the level of difficulty involved. Four detailed chapters focus on feeding invertebrates, housing them, keeping them healthy, and creating great displays.
Years of experience in keeping these small animals has gone into this publication; the Live Exhibits Unit has kept well over 200 species. Many of these invertebrates had never before been kept, making the museum the leading researchers in this field in Australia. This live invertebrate experience resides nowhere else in Australia.
Bugs Alive! A Guide to Keeping Australian Invertebrates is aimed at a wide audience including children, school teachers, hobbyists and professionals - from beginners through to seasoned bug keepers. It is available now in the Museum Shop.
The new Finders Keepers kit is also available from the Museum Shops at Melbourne Museum and Scienceworks, with all the materials necessary to help teachers and first time bug keepers to set up live displays and learn more about these fascinating creatures.
Hi, Linda. Unfortunately our Live Exhibits staff do not have professional experience with this particular species. However, you may be interested in the information available at this website. Good luck!
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.

The Royal Bank of Scotland has set a target of 2014 to start Britain's biggest ever privatisation. Its chief executive, Stephen Hester, said RBS was now "much closer" to being in a position where the Government could "start to sell its stake" in the bank. "The toughest work is behind us," he added.
The company's chairman, Sir Philip Hampton, said the 2014 target was a realistic goal. "They [the Government] want to get out and we want them out and we will do anything to assist them," said Sir Philip.
The Independent revealed this month that the Treasury is drawing up plans to return RBS to the private sector before the next election. Ministers are examining a BT-style shares sell-off and also ways in which shares could be given to taxpayers for free. They want RBS off the Government's books as soon as possible and believe the move could be a popular pre-election policy – though Downing Street said there was "no timetable" for the disposal.
Sir Philip admitted it was hard to see the Government pursuing a course that did not give tax payers the chance to get involved in the privatisation given the support they have contributed to keeping the bank afloat.
However, he questioned the plans favoured by some senior ministers to give free windfall shares in the bank to tax payers as a way of disposing of the state's interest.
"You have to look at the logistics of such a plan," he said. "Would you have to hire Wembley Stadium out every year just to keep in touch with everyone."
The Government's desire to shed its stake in RBS was underlined today, when the bank revealed it had paid £607m in bonuses despite recent scandals and another £5.2bn in losses.
Ministers realise that the bank has to pay bonuses to remain competitive but are acutely conscious of the bad publicity such payments bring.
Even as the majority shareholder they cannot veto such bonuses – they only have the power to dismiss the entire board.
Although RBS lost £5.2bn before tax, Sir Philip said £4.6bn of that resulted from changes in the value of the bank's own debt, an accounting quirk based on how much RBS would have to pay to buy back that debt.
He and Mr Hester said the bank was much stronger than before and was willing and able to lend to small businesses. A lack of credit has been one of the main reasons Britain's economy has failed to recover as fast as America's.
Sir Philip said that relations with the Government were still sound. "If you have a majority shareholder you have to expect that majority shareholder to expect to be listened to," he said.
"The tension in the dialogue is there [because] those things which are best politically are not necessarily the best things for investors. Clearly some of the things we have had to announce and do are a result of a combination of political and regulatory pressures."
He added: "One of the things which we and the Government are both very conscious of is that the RBS story is only a success if we are privatised successfully. We have a complete unity of purpose but different pressure on how we get there. I know the Government wants to get us out of their hair as soon as they decently can."
But the City's verdict was a resounding thumbs down, and the bank's shares finished the day in a slump, down 22.9p at 323.9. Ian Gordon, an analyst at Investec who rates the shares as a sell, warned that the bank was still financially weaker than expected and said it might not be until 2017 that its return on equity equalled costs.
Flotation: Sharing the wealth?
In December 1984, British Telecom became the first major flotation. Almost two fifths of the shares were given to 2.1 million members of the public and half were bought by major British institutions.
British Gas
Following the perceived success of BT, the British Gas Corporation floated in 1986 as British Gas plc. The "If you see Sid..." ad campaign encouraged people to buy 135p shares.
British Rail
John Major continued the trend in 1993 with British Rail, amid much controversy and lobbying against it. The service had been largely self-sufficient.

Year of the Takeout Day 154: Best Bakery
Melon Cookie and Walnut So from Best Bakery (5812 Eighth Avenue, Sunset Park, Brooklyn, 718-439-5138)
Not quite sure whether this is melon or a mistranslation, but the filling has the texture of mashed coconut and a pleasant, sweet woodiness. We're def more into the walnut so, though -- it's like a giant tea cookie, but more buttery and dense.

You may have read Simon Calder's report for The Independent about plans for in-flight casinos to be made available on long-haul flights for first and business class passengers.
Gambling while airborne is nothing new – in fact only a few weeks ago I was flying back from Europe on a budget airline and was offered scratchcards to play. Given that gambling already takes place on aeroplanes means that there is no moral or regulatory reason for other forms of gambling not to be introduced.
Gambling has always been considered as a revenue generator for many different types of commercial enterprise. Whether it's playing slot machine in the pub or buying lottery tickets form the supermarket, most commercial businesses are happy to earn extra money by offering gambling products. We can now gamble via the red button on our television sets via services like Skybet, and over the summer, the most popular social networking site Facebook launched its first gambling for money game in the shape of Bingo Friendzy.
What's more, passengers on long-haul flights provide a captive audience. They will want entertainment to stave off the potential boredom. But is this something we should be concerned about? Although I have spent over 25 years studying problem gamblers, I am not anti-gambling in the slightest. I believe that adults should be free to make their own choices about how they spend their disposable income. However, I am also pro-responsible gambling. This means that gaming operators must put in place measures and protocols that protect players from spending too much and protect vulnerable and susceptible individuals (such as children and adolescents). Any service provider that offers gambling should have staff members that are trained in social responsibility.
Gambling is an activity that has the potential to change people's mood states instantaneously. Just like drinking alcohol or having sex, gambling is a wonderful 'mood modifier'. It can make us feel high, buzzed up and excited – or it can make us feel low, downbeat and downright depressed. A win (or even a near win) can get the body's pleasure centre aroused in the form of increased adrenaline and increased endorphins (the body's own morphine-like substances).
Conversely, big losses can lead to irritability and intense frustration. In extreme cases, gambling losses can lead to anger, verbal abuse, and even physical aggression. In this sense, they are no different from someone who may be drunk from drinking too much alcohol. And what about those who drink while they are gambling in the confines of an air flight? Intoxication and large gambling losses are a heady mix that is best avoided as this could cause problems for both passengers and the airline crew.
The current plan appears to be to offer such gambling services to first and business class passengers only. I presume this is because the airline thinks this group of people will have the most disposable income. On the plus side, it may be the case that this group of individuals can afford to lose and are the least likely to be negatively affected (at least financially). On the negative side it could be viewed as targeted exploitation. And not everyone in business class is rich. I often travel business class but my air fares are paid for by the companies that I work for and not me personally. I certainly can't afford to drop a hundred pounds here and there.
I am not anti-gambling on aeroplanes particularly if it is another service that passengers want. However, like drinking alcohol, gambling is a consumptive activity that is problematic to a small minority of individuals and that it should be done in moderation. If airlines want to get into the business of being gambling operators as a sideline, they need to have a socially responsible infrastructure in place that maximizes fun for those that want to gamble, and minimizes harm for those who may be vulnerable and susceptible.

Unhappy customer (Briarcliff Mnr, NY), 11/26/2014
I purchased these mirrors for shower favors . They were poorly made. The exterior case is either painted plastic or a composite metal. Thin and flimsy . The mirror inside was pasted in , so the edges were exposed .
Cute! 4
Jennifer (Wilmington, MA), 7/2/2010
Nice little favor. I bought these compact mirrors as part of a party favor for my daughter's birthday party. Almost all of them arrived with very small scratches on the outside but they are a great value for the price.

The machine prints equally well from either paper source and will copy to either from the flatbed or the ADF, too. The print head includes a long-swathe black print head, so text pages print commendably fast. Our text test completed in 33 seconds. Printing in colour takes longer; it took one minute 10 seconds to complete the text and graphics print.
Duplex printing, which enables you to print on both sides of the paper in a single job, is a useful feature, but is spoiled here by the speed at which the PIXMA MP830 does it. Having printed the first side, it reels the paper slowly back inside and stops to think for a while, before printing the second side from bottom to top, so each duplexed sheet comes out feet first. The pause is presumably due to the processing time needed to turn the page image round. Our 20 page text print took 8:41 to print this way, as against 33 seconds for a five page, single-sided print.
Printing a 15 x 10cm borderless photo is claimed to take 36 seconds, but we couldn't get anything out in normal print mode in less than 57 seconds.
When it comes to the quality of the prints, regular text comes out clear and dense and solid graphics are just that, solid and with no signs of banding. Photos also come out well, with good colours and fine detail. The only blot on the landscape is those duplex prints, again. Text looks thin and a bit ragged and on closer examination, ink is not evenly distributed and the paper nap shows through.
The PIXMA MP830 uses the same print head and cartridges as the PIXMA iP5200R, reviewed back in October 2005. Since then the cost of ink cartridges and paper has dropped considerably, which means that where the iP5200R cost 3.59p for a black text page and 49.6p for a 20 per cent cover colour one, the MP830 figures are 2.44p and 35.8p, respectively.
The black print cost is now good for an ink-jet, multi-function device, but the colour cost has only dropped from very pricey to pricey. It's useful to have a separate pigmented black ink for printing text, though, as you won't have to change cartridges as often in normal, home office use.
The extras on offer from this multi-function device are useful, though duplex print is a bit of a let down, because of its poor speed. Even so, the PIXMA MP830 feels like a proper piece of office equipment, rather than a light use, home-office device. A little pricey to print colour on, but overall, a useful all-in-one.
