Transfer torque between two driveline axes as function of their relative angular velocity
Dynamic Elements
A torque converter couples two driveline axes, transferring torque and angular motion by the hydrodynamic action of a viscous fluid. Unlike a friction clutch, it cannot lock the axes together. The Torque Converter block models a torque converter acting between the two connector ports I and T as a function of the relative angular velocity of the two connected driveline axes. The Torque Convert block follows these conventions:
The I port represents the impeller or pump. The T port represents the turbine.
The input is the connector port into which power flows into the block. The output is the connector port from which power flows out of the block.
Forward power flow means power flowing from I to T. Reverse power flow means power flowing from T to I.
Forward motion means the relative angular velocity ω = ωT – ωI > 0.
Because the coupling of the axes occurs by viscous action, the torque transfer depends on this difference ω. In normal operation, the two axes have different speeds, and the output T axis speed never exactly reaches the input I axis speed (ω < 0). The torque transfer is largest when |ω| is large and shrinks as |ω| shrinks. Because |ω| can never reach zero exactly, a torque converter always transfers some torque.
You specify the torque ratio and the capacity factor of the torque converter as discrete functions of the speed ratio with tabular vector entries. The three vectors of the independent and two dependent variable values must have the same length.
The speed ratio Rω is the output angular speed divided by the input angular speed. You specify a range of speed ratio values from 0 up to, but not including, 1.
Rω = min[ωI/ωT, ωT/ωI]
The torque ratio Rτ is the output torque divided by the input torque.
Rτ = τoutput / τinput
The capacity factor K is the input speed divided by the square root of the input torque.
K = max[ωI, ωT] / √τinput
τinput is the torque flowing into the shaft with the larger speed, and τoutput is the torque flowing into the shaft with the smaller speed.
Tip: The Torque Converter block only accepts positive speed ratio values strictly less than 1. It assumes that output speed is strictly less than input speed. However, the identification of input and output switches from the I and T ports, respectively, to the T and I ports if the power flow is reversed.
If you have torque converter data as functions of speed ratio values greater than 1, map the function values to the corresponding reciprocal speed ratio values, which are then less than 1. Specify the function values along with these reciprocal speed ratio values in the block dialog, instead of the original speed ratio values.
Use the blocks of the Dynamic Elements library as a starting point for vehicle modeling. To see how a Dynamic Element block models a driveline component, look under the block mask. The blocks of this library serve as suggestions for developing variant or entirely new models to simulate the same components. Break the block's library link before modifying it and creating your own version.
Vector of values of the block function's independent variable, the dimensionless speed ratio. These values must be greater than or equal to 0 and strictly less than 1.
Vector of values of the block function's first dependent variable, the dimensionless torque ratio. Each torque ratio value corresponds to a speed ratio value.
Vector of values of the block function's second dependent variable, the torque conversion capacity factor. Each capacity factor value corresponds to a speed ratio value. The units are radians/second/√(newton-meters).
Two functions specify the characteristics of the torque converter: the torque ratio Rτ and the capacity factor K, both as functions of the speed ratio Rω. You specify these as discrete tabulated functions in the dialog.
Rτ = Rτ(Rω)
K = K(Rω)
In normal operation (forward power flow), the input impeller (I) and output turbine (T) torques are
τI = sgn(1 - ωT / ωI) · [ωI / K]2
τT = τI · Rτ
The example model drive_torque_convert simulates a torque converter.

Nickelodeon star's date with black NBA player sparks racist backlash
Racism is still alive and thriving, and those with racist opinions aren't just in the backwoods of Southern states or occupying the stereotypical sectors of society. They are everywhere. On social media, on the web, and, yes, reading (and commenting on) TMZ.
The uber popular celebrity news site posted video footage of Nickelodeon star Jennette McCurdy out on a date last night with NBA baller Andre Drummond. The site captured the interracial couple holding hands on a romantic date in Los Angeles.

Our site and music catalog has come a long way since the first beginnings back in April 2000 and it was no longer enough to simply be able to look at a music genre and see hundreds or even a thousand tracks listed in that genre. We needed to give you better ways to browse and find music by other criteria than just the genre itself, and to be able to more precisely define exactly what you're looking for.
So we gathered a team of some 7-8 people who spent a few weeks going back over all our 10,000 tracks, listened carefully to each track and ticked various Moods/Emotions (e.g. Sad, Happy, Excited etc), Suggested Production Types (e.g. Crime TV, Underwater video, Wedding video, etc.), Prominent Instruments (e.g. Acoustic piano), Tempo-feel (e.g. "slow"), and BPM tempo (e.g. 132) for every track. It was a big job, but we had a good team of people and we finished it in about 2 weeks.
We then developed the tool you can see on the left. The 5 blue buttons represent "simple browsing"; you just click that button, select a Mood or Instrument etc., and the track listing comes up immediately. Depending on which criteria you click, the resulting track list can be just a few, or several hundred, a couple of thousand, tracks.
"Advanced Browse" is where you can really harvest the power and flexibility of our new tool. Here you can combine various criteria from all of the other "simple" options to create very accurate track listings reflecting exactly what you want. It can be something relatively simple, like "I want children's music, it should be happy, and it should feature a xylophone", or it can be very complex and precise, like "I want acoustic piano and violin, I want it to be sorrowful, I want it to have very slow tempo, I want it not to be classical music, and I want it to be suitable for use in drama". The tool really gives you a lot of power, as you can combine many different types of criteria and every criteria can be negated to create a "not" out of it too. So you can look for "Smooth jazz, slow tempo, not containing saxophone".
At the bottom of the tool, you can make a quick search, or you can get to the Advanced Search page where you can search for keywords, titles, sound effects, CD collections and more by using various search criteria to find your music.
If you encounter any problems with the browsing tool, any crashes or unexpected results, please let us know about it by using our contact form. Thanks!

Social media as applied to business was the focus of my attention for the past few months on Twitter. I know that social media to promote "Brand You" is a no brainer, but from the perspective of business benefits much is being written.
Here are some things to ponder:
People use more than Facebook. In Europe, people join on average 1,9 social networks. In USA it's 2,1; Brazil 3,1 and India 3,9. (source)
Consumers want to be in the boardroom. 44% is asking to take part in co-creation of products & advertising.(source)
The genius of online social networks is not just connecting people to new people, but connecting people to new insights.(source)
The primary investment in social media marketing is time, not money. (source)
The landing page for Pinterest is an endless visual stream of subtle product recommendations from the very people who influence your purchasing decisions — friends and strangers with good taste. (source)
When the winds of change blow, some people build walls, some people build windmills. Anon. (this has got nothing to do with social media)
So what does this tell us?
C level and board level managers may not be up on all this 'internet stuff' but the fact remains that everyone else in the world is heavily engaged with social media and this doesn't happen in a vacuum. Every segment of society is interconnected socially, economically, politically, spiritually, sexually…so every need is being met out there. It is for this reason one can claim that "Brand experience has not only become more important than the product itself, in many cases it's become the product."
Creating brand experiences is what social media is all about for business. Brand experience is an ability to connect people to new insights and to provide a value add in peoples lives. The question that needs to be asked is, 'how can we make our customer's life easier or more experience rich?' Dominos is an industry leader in this respect and here is one example of an interactive game offering for mobile devices;
"As a branding exercise, the app not only gets the consumer into the process of making the better pie, but reinforces Domino's legacy. Between levels, the game drops trivia about the company's history and innovations. The judgmental store "manager" in the game is always reinforcing quality and uniformity." (source)
At the other extreme is Johnson & Johnson. They have created an invaluable source of health information via their YouTube channel which is complemented by all the other social media tools. They have been wise enough to understand that telling stories, being authentic and keeping their content fresh and enaging is is at the crux of social media. This is a very telling article and video interview of 'How Johnson & Johnson Uses YouTube to Create Awareness'.
One of the biggest dangers for business is that middle aged managers leave all this to the relatively inexperienced Generation Y which will result in ad hoc attempts at being 'cool' and at worst a public relations nightmare and loss of brand reputation like that experienced by Qantas recently.
The fact is, the pace of change is too fast for any one individual within an organisation to have any control over the nascent technologies and business models. This is the age of collaboration and the trend setting Gen Y in corporate offices need to find voice in the boardrooms because consumers are increasingly wanting to co-create products and advertising with companies they 'follow'. Seasoned business leaders need to be able to integrate these trends into their business models by collaborating with the torch bearers. The business case is there, we just have to be creative in how we integrate the new technologies into the business model. On the right is a simple but poignant infographic that illustrates the benefits of customisation via digital media – whether Facebook, Twitter or something else.
I had commented in an earlier article:
We are at a period in history where creativity is becoming a historically relevant paradigm on par with agriculture,industry and information. This is the age of creative collaboration and it needs to find life within the corporate milieu.
To take it up another notch, watch how serious Coca-Cola are about the new corporate paradigm in the age of social business:

|(In billions of dollars)
|Insurance and Guarantee Program Liabilities:
|Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation—Benefit Pension Plans
|Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Funds
|All other insurance and guarantee programs
|Total insurance and guarantee program liabilities
PBGC insures pension benefits for participants in covered defined benefit pension plans. As a wholly-owned corporation of the U.S. Government, PBGC's financial activity and balances are included in the consolidated financial statements of the U.S. Government. However, under current law, PBGC's liabilities may be paid only from PBGC's assets and not from the General Fund of the Treasury or assets of the Government in general. As of September 30, 2011, and 2010, PBGC had total liabilities of $106.7 billion and $102.5 billion, and its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $26.0 billion and $23.0 billion, respectively. In addition, as discussed in Note 22—Contingencies, PBGC reported reasonably possible contingent losses of about $250.2 billion and $190.0 billion as of September 30, 2011, and 2010, respectively.
Of the total FDIC amount as of September 30, 2011, and 2010, $7.2 billion and $21.3 billion, respectively, represents the recorded contingent liability and loss provision for institutions insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund that are likely to fail. In addition, $31.5 billion and $42.8 billion pertain to liabilities due to resolutions of failed or failing institutions and to pending depositor claims as of September 30, 2011, and 2010 respectively. Another $8.2 billion and $7.9 billion as of September 30, 2011, and 2010 respectively, pertains to the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, which guarantees certain newly issued debt and certain noninterest-bearing transaction accounts in an effort to counter the system-wide crisis in the nation's financial sector. The remaining amounts represent contingent liabilities for litigation. As of September 30, 2011, and 2010, the Deposit Insurance Fund had total liabilities of $69.2 billion and $107.4 billion, respectively. As of September 30, 2011, total assets exceeded its total liabilities by $7.8 billion due to the overall improvement in the financial condition of the bank and thrift agency.
Of the $21.3 billion and $13.0 billion under all other insurance and guarantee programs as of September 30, 2011, and 2010, respectively, $10.3 billion and $4.6 billion, respectively, pertain to the USDA's Federal Crop Insurance Program. The increase in the loss ratio is due to the extreme drought in the Southwest and significant flooding along the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. The Federal Crop Insurance Program is administered by the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation, whose mission is to provide an actuarially sound risk management program to reduce agricultural producers' economic losses due to natural disasters. Also, $7.4 billion and 6.4 billion relates to the National Credit Union Administration's Temporary Corporate Credit Union Stabilization Fund as of September 30, 2011, and 2010, respectively. This Program guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on certain unsecured debt of participating credit unions.

Walker, rated by Baseball America as the Pirates number two prospect entering 2008, owns a .946 fielding percentage in 130 games as well as a highlight reel full of spectacular plays in just his first full season at the third base position. The converted catcher also ranks among the International League leaders in games played (5th, 130), triples (T-9th, 7) and RBI (T-9th, 79).
Walker has collected 30 multi-hit performances and 20 multi-RBI efforts during the 2008 campaign. The 22-year-old has notched three hitting streaks of six or more games (June 13-June 21, July 23-July 28, August 17-August 25), and committed just 19 errors in 351 total chances at third base.
McCutchen, rated by Baseball America as the Pirates number one prospect entering 2008, owns a .280 batting average, with nine homers, 48 RBI and a current team-best .370 on-base percentage, 75 runs, 67 walks, 33 stolen bases and 132 games played. The 21-year-old continues to rank among International League leaders in walks, games played, stolen bases and on-base percentage.
McCutchen was named the team's May Player of the Month after batting .304 with two dingers, 10 RBI and eight multi-hit performances. He also ranked second in all of Triple-A Baseball with 12 stolen bases in May.
Pearce, rated by Baseball America as the Pirates number three prospect entering 2008, owns a .257 batting average, with 12 homers, 60 RBI and a current team-best 26 doubles in 100 games played. The 25-year-old continues to rank among team leaders in home runs, RBI and doubles throughout most of the season even with two separate Major League call-ups to Pittsburgh.
Bixler, rated by Baseball America as the Pirates number eight prospect entering 2008, has recorded a .980 fielding percentage with just seven errors in 345 total chances between second base and shortstop. The 25-year-old has been involved in 40 of the team's 100 double plays even after spending over a month in Pittsburgh (April 6-May 27).
Bixler also leads the Tribe with a .280 BA and has recorded three separate six-game hitting streaks (June 8-14, June 16-22, August 2-7).
Chavez, who received the first Major League call-up of his career on August 27, went 2-6 with a 3.80 ERA and team-best 14 saves, 70 strikeouts and 51 appearances for the Indians. He also collected eight saves and posted a 2.65 ERA over his last 16 relief outings of the season (5 ER in 17.0 IP).
Chavez shut down right-handed batters throughout the season allowing just a .177 batting average, while striking out 42 and walking only nine. He also posted a 0.98 ERA (2 ER in 18.1 IP) over 10 outings from April 7 to May 3.
Infielder Luis Cruz has also been named Indianapolis Indians Player of the Month for August.
Cruz has turned in a .333 batting average with three home runs, 14 RBI and 17 runs during the season's final month. The 24-year-old has also recorded 11 multi-hit performances and three multi-run efforts during the month, and has batted .412 with nine runs and nine RBI over his last eight contests (Aug. 21-29).

From the practical point of view, such an algebraic structure is unlikely applicable to cryptographic schemes.
We investigate the security of multi-ciphersuite protocols with re-used long-term keys. We show how to \"open\" the ACCE definition slightly so that, after each ciphersuites has been proven secure individually, they can then be used together in a secure multi-ciphersuite protocol, even when long-term keys are re-used across ciphersuites, provided the ciphersuites\' messages satisfy an independence property. We apply our definitions and composition theorem to the SSH protocol, showing that signed Diffie--Hellman SSH ciphersuites are individually ACCE-secure; they also satisfy the preconditions of our composition theorem, and thus SSH is multi-ciphersuite-secure even with re-use of long-term keys.
An authenticated query processing mechanism allows a client to verify the validity of the query responses that it gets from an untrusted and remote server, who stores the client\'s database
on its behalf.
We introduce a general framework called RDAS for the problem of authenticated query processing, and define the
security goals for this task in line with concrete provable security. We propose several schemes which enable
a client to verify both the completeness and correctness of the query responses of a server. All the schemes follow
the proposed framework and are provably secure in terms of the proposed security definition. The novelty of the proposed schemes
is that they use bitmap indexes as a main component for providing authentication. Bitmap indexes have recently seen
lot of applications for accelerated query processing and many commercial databases implement such indexes. Bitmaps have not been
previously used for a security goal. We show that the proposed schemes can match in both
functionality and efficiency compared to the existing schemes. We also implement the schemes on a real database and provide extensive
experimental studies on the schemes
We build on work by Cook and McKenzie [J.\\ Algorithms \'87] establishing the relationship between L = logarithmic space and the symmetric group S_t. Our techniques include a novel algorithmic use of commutators to manipulate the cycle structure of permutations in A_t.
One of the most well known open questions in the area of PKE is to build, in a ``black-box way\'\', so called chosen ciphertext attack (CCA-) secure PKE from chosen plaintext attack (CPA-) secure PKE. In contrast, we show a simple $2$-round CCA-secure PKE from any (non-interactive) CPA-secure PKE (in fact, these primitives turn out to be equivalent). Similarly, although non-interactive PKMA schemes can be inefficiently built from any one-way function, no efficient signature schemes are known from many popular number-theoretic assumptions, such as factoring, CDH or DDH. In contrast, we show an efficient $2$-round PKMA from most popular assumptions, including factoring, CDH and DDH.
Advanced Properties.
It is well known that no non-interactive signature (resp. encryption) scheme can be {\\em deniable} (resp. {\\em forward-secure}), since the signature (resp. ciphertext) can later ``serve as an evidence of the sender\'s consent\'\' (resp. ``be decrypted if the receiver\'s key is compromised\'\'). We also formalize a related notion of {\\em replay-secure} (necessarily) interactive PKMA (resp. PKE) schemes, where the verifier (resp. encryptor) is assured that the ``current\'\' message can only be authenticated (resp. decrypted) by the secret key owner {\\em now}, as opposed to some time in the past (resp. future). We observe that our 2-round PKMA scheme is both replay-secure and (passively) deniable, and our 2-round PKE scheme is both replay- and forward-secure. We also define and construct stronger forms of necessarily interactive PKE/PKMA schemes, called {\\em confirmed encryption} and {\\em confidential authentication}.
Anonymous Key Exchange.
We extend our definitional framework for interactive PKE and PKMA schemes to give definitions and constructions of (necessarily interactive) {\\em anonymous key exchange} (1-KE), where an anonymous (unkeyed) party establishes a key with an authenticated (keyed) party. Unlike the prior work, defining 1-KE by ``downgrading\'\' the hairy and complex definition of {\\em mutually authenticated} key exchange (2-KE), our definition is very ``short\'\' and easy to understand. We also show simple and general connections between anonymous KE and (interactive) confirmed PKE/confidential PKMA schemes. As a result, we obtain old and new schemes for anonymous KE in a clean and modular manner. For example, we obtain the first $2$-round anonymous KE which is both (passively) deniable and forward-secure.
In this paper we show that there is a strict relation between the random grid model and the deterministic model. More specically we show that to any random grid scheme corresponds a deterministic scheme and viceversa. This allows us to use results known in a model also in the other model. In fact, the random grid model is equivalent to the probabilistic model with no pixel expansion. Exploiting the (many) results known in the deterministic model we are able to improve several schemes and to provide many upper bounds for the random grid model. Exploiting some results known for the random grid model, we are also able to provide new schemes for the deterministic model. A side eect of this paper is that future new results for any one of the two models (random grid and deterministic) should not ignore, and in fact be compared to, the results known in the other model.
As a first step in this direction, we propose the notion of safe enclosures. Intuitively, a safe enclosure is a cryptographic primitive that encapsulates data in a way that allows to perform some computation on it, while at the same time protecting the server from malicious data. Furthermore, a safe enclosure should come equipped with a dedicated protocol that implements the enclosing function with unconditional integrity. Otherwise, unguarded data may reach the server. We discuss the novelty of these concepts, propose their formal definition and show several realizations.
interactive protocols; and this notion has lead to the construction of numerous protocols enjoying strong security notions, such as the security in the Bellare-Pointcheval-Rogaway (BPR) model or even Universal Composability (UC).
Yet, the construction of SPHF has been almost limited to discrete-logarithm or pairing type assumptions up to now. This stands in contrast with domains such as homomorphic encryption or functional encryption, where Lattice Based Cryptography has already caught up and overtook discrete-log/pairing based cryptography. So far, work in the direction of UC based on lattices is almost restricted to a paper from Peikert, Vaikuntanathan, and Waters (Crypto 2008) dealing with Oblivious Transfer in the UC framework, and work in the direction of password-authenticated key exchange protocols (PAKE) to one from
Katz and Vaikuntanathan (Asiacrypt 2009) on a 3-round Password-Authenticated Key Exchange, but restraining itself to the BPR model. It seems that dealing with errors in those contexts is not as easy as it is for encryption.
In this work, we identify the problem at its source, namely, the lattice version of Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol: the key greement is only approximate. We explicit a simple folklore trick to obtain true, errorless, one-round key exchange from LWE. We then show that this trick can be adapted to various lattice encryption schemes, leading, with some technicalities, to errorless SPHF\'s. From there, we derive three new results, namely the first lattice-based following protocols: a one-round PAKE secure in the BPR model, a 3-round PAKE secure in the UC model, and a UC commitment scheme, all of them based on SIS and LWE assumptions.

I recently purchased and installed Pixel Power on an existing blog and cannot find an option in the theme to create a floating navigation bar like that shown in the demo at: http://curtziegler.com/sitedemo/pixelpower/wordpress/
Also… cannot figure out how to create the boxes with excerpts like those on the demo's loading page that show a "Read more…" type of option.
Reading over instructions found at:http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More#Having_a_custom_text_for_each_post
they clearly state the following:
"Although the_content() is usually called from the template with a standard text as described above, it is possible to have an individual text for certain posts. In the visual editor, simply write <!
- more Your custom text ->."
Do I need to add this code into EACH and EVERY post of a well established blog?
I had this option supplied in the theme this blog was formerly using so am not aware of this necessity. ANY help on these issues will be greatly appreciated.
Disappointed pixelpower customer
Found the option to make the top navigation bar float when page is scrolled… "Fixed Header" has to be selected which states "Make the header fixed at the top of the page". Silly me. I thought a fixed header is what the pixelpower theme came with by default.
One down… one to go…
Still need help understanding how to create the excerpts with "Read More…" on the loading page.
Thank you for ANY help on this matter!
you know you arent supposed to post this here.you are supposed to post in the comment section of the theme you bought. http://themeforest.net/item/pixelpower-responsive-html5css3-wordpress-theme/discussion/705136
silly you
Thanks! I have now done so.

Correct definition?
According to Wikipedia, there are at least a dozen meanings for the word "recorder"; are we sure this article uses the right one?
I personally doubt this because (1) a tape-recorder, being an electronic device, wouldn't work at or near Hogwarts and (2) the stated meaning depends on the user of the device just happening to have a tape of the cry of a werewolf — the latter is a bit too much of a contrived coincidence for me.
I suspect that the actual intended meaning of "recorder" in this context is "member of the flute family". Such a device, being non-electronic, would work around Hogwarts with no problems, and could concievably (given a skilled and knowledgeable user) be used to imitate a werewolf's cry. — RobertATfm (talk) 05:22, March 6, 2013 (UTC)
- Normally, I would be inclined to think you are correct. However, the LEGO Harry Potter games tend to play a bit fast and loose with this sort of thing, having a lot of Muggle technology and stuff that you wouldn't normally expect to be included. For example, LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4 also has rubber ducks, even though in the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film, Arthur Weasley seemed to think they were a Muggle thing. So I wouldn't be at all surprised if what's described on the page is correct, but I don't have this game to check. ProfessorTofty (talk) 14:48, March 6, 2013 (UTC)
- What's on the page is correct. I've played the game, and certainly that level, multiple times. -- PerryPeverell 14:55, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

PEOPLE taking their black bin bags to Pembrokeshire recycling centres could soon find them being opened and rummaged through.
The county council's environment scrutiny committee recently had the opportunity to visit both a Pembrokeshire and a Carmarthenshire civic amenity site to compare how waste and recycling is handled.
At the Nantycaws site in Carmarthenshire a system of black bag intervention is adopted.
If a person drops a black bag off, the attendants wait until they leave, pours out the contents on a steel table and removes any items which could be recycled.
During the committee meeting on Thursday, June 5 Councillor Stephen Joseph said: "The recyclable material they take out of the black bags in Nantycaws is incredible. As a group we would like to see it tried out in Pembrokeshire."
Cllr Jacob Williams said: "I think checking black bags is a good idea. People could be putting Japanese knotweed, asbestos and dead bodies in them for all we know.
"If people don't want their personal items gone through, they should just put their black bag out for kerbside collection."
Other comparisons made between the two sites noted how much busier Winsel was then Nantycaws. Cllr Joseph said: "My initial impression was the staff at Winsel were under a lot of pressure. There were cars lining up to go in."
He also commented that the signage was unclear compared to Nantycaws, with people unsure of where to put stuff.

I found last nights "Blair's War" a disappointment, having tuned in to view what I thought would be an informative and unbiased programme. Admittedly the panorama team included an interview with jack straw who supports Tony Blair's stance, however all the opinions from the 'common people' were anti war. not only do I support the war, as I feel that it is vital that visible and immediate threats to our country are dealt with in a strong and decisive manner, but I am now more inclined to vote for Tony Blair since he has shown that he is capable of holding and acting upon a potentially unfavourable belief for the good of the country.
Your Blair's War programme was the best Panorama I can remember seeing for years. Brave, compelling and informative. The most unpleasant thought is that somewhere along the line a calculation has been made that political careers will be boosted by this war - and the thousands of tragic deaths, injuries and terror that is being visited on real people.
I liked the Programme. In a democracy people's views must be respected. What is the right for Tony Blair and George Bush to talk about Democracy when the majority of the world is against war. And they are going to sell democracy to the world. The decision to go to war will be proved wrong in the years to come. This is a very bad precedent. When Democratic countries like India have no say in the Security council UN itself is not a right platform to decide at the moment. It should be made much broader replacing the so called superpowers. I don¿t think there is any meaning when such a huge mass of people's opinion is not even taken into consideration. There is right way to take the fight to the enemy in Democracy. Tony Blair will lose his power if Brittan is a Democratic Country. Personal Charm doesn¿t work out always. I am sure people of UK will take actions for his irresponsible unpopular action to go for war.
Viewers who are pro-war correctly assessed this programme as biased. No documentary is even handed; inevitably they take a certain side. The point is that almost all other coverage of this war is also biased - in the other direction. The news consistently reports the war from the perspective of coalition troops. The only other implicitly anti-war documentary or coverage I've seen was Correspondent about the Israeli nuclear arsenal, and that was moved from a prime-time slot to 11.20 at night - too late for most people to see it. The anti-war march last week received very little coverage. I find it extremely concerning that some people are suggesting that no dissent about the war should be shown on the television. If you are that convinced that the case for war is sound, you shouldn't mind being exposed to alternative viewpoints.
Your programme showed a Mullah in Blackburn calling all us non-Muslims 'infidels' and suggesting that the war in Iraq is 'A War on Muslims'. I find such preaching very disturbing as its the kind of stuff that widens the gap between Muslims and the rest of our society. Its the kind of stuff that encourages our lads to fight for the Taliban. Why aren't such Mullahs banned from preaching? Why wasn't his rant condemned on Panorama last night?
Your Panorama programme was very one sided in terms of the large amount of time given to the 'anti-war' opinions. But the real failing was that it was just opinions. What would have much more useful and helpful would have been an examination of why the UK and US (and a number of other governments) had come to the conclusion that the present course of action was right and necessary alongside a consideration of other strategies.
I thought your programme last night was really good and informative. I sometimes feel I will go mad if I hear one more time that now the troops are fighting, we must all unite whatever our views ! On an intellectual level I know Saddam is a monster beyond all belief. But on a 'feeling' level Bush and Blair are not only worrying me they are frightening the life out of me!
I feel that many of the critical comments on this page are very unfair. The Panorama programme was all about opposition to the war, so of course more time was devoted to the comments of those against the war than those for it. Many other sections of the BBC are currently dressing up their own extreme opinions and presenting them as fact to the public. But the Panorama team made an effort to present the news as it is- an extremely difficult task when describing a war which people have such strong and diverse views about. Congratulations to Panorama: you discussed a contentious subject in a mature and relatively unbiased way.
I do not believe that the reasons put forward for war are convincing in this situation, although I accept that the use of force is justified in certain circumstances. Saddam has been flouting UN resolutions for 12 years, which means that the international community has also had 12 years to ascertain the precise criteria under which the use of force would be legal. So why is it only now that Britain and the US see military action as imperative? Does Saddam pose a greater threat than he has over the last 12 years? Just when did we realise it is our moral duty to liberate Iraq? I feel that this war is a direct consequence of 9/11, however it is presented. When Iraq has been liberated, will we go on and use force in every other country where people live under oppressive regimes? I think not.
Thank you BBC for showing our point of view. Like the majority of the British public I also am not opposed to our forces but strongly oppose the trap Tony Blair has fallen into. The Americans were just playing for time when they knew in August 02 that it will take 6 months or so to get all the forces ready for INVASION and once ready neither Blair or the UN could get in their way. How dare Bush goes to Camp David to ''RELAX'' when the lives of thousands of troops are at risk.
The organisers of the stop the war campaign are the enemy within. They do not speak for the majority of people within the UK.
A very unfair programme against a leader of honesty and courage very rarely seen in other leaders of our times. I had expected to see and hear at least a evenly balanced view but very disappointed
Well done BBC for the courage to air such an objective programme at such a sensitive time. Blair has been economical with the truth when he said war only with a second resolution. Even though we all feel for the British servicemen and their families I still don't understand why people are expected to turn round and support an unjust war that wasn't sanctioned by the UN because it has now began.
I went to the anti-war protest last February. I did not go yesterday for a reason: I dislike the war much as anybody else, however troops are there, they are fighting for a cause which aims are to bring democracy to people who do not have any idea of freedom, to let me travel or enjoy without the threat of bombs blowing off. I hope that after the overtaking of Iraq, the middle east peace process will restart to give Palestinian people what they deserve. This is what I now see. I also praise Tony for his courage to go upstream and to put into discussion his own mandate. He has got what it takes to lead and to stick to his convictions. I very much dislike some other leaders, who would veto no matter what just to hide their economical interest behind the face of peace makers. As to the programme, I found it very unilateral and would like to reply to the anti-war organiser, that one million people represent only a portion of the nation not its entirety and that if I could go back I would not participate to the protest.
I listened to the anti-war protesters with interest. I have still not heard what the alternative is. Maybe we should have sorted out Palestine first and yes, arms were sold to Iraq - at the time they were fighting fundamentalist Iran by the way. There was not a hope of weapons inspectors in Iraq without a threat, We cannot keep an army of 250,000 men on high alert for ever and the summer is coming on. We could not pull out or we would add to Hussein¿s popularity. so what do we do? If we had done nothing and terrorists used weapons originating in Iraq in Britain the same people would be holding Mr Blair to account.
I¿ve read these opinions and watched this program and I find myself increasingly worried. I cannot believe a generation so aware of the notion of propaganda has been so successfully seduced by this idea of war. We should not be arguing over the black and white of this situation (who is for or against war) but how this notion ever came about. I am more concerned with the origin of this conflict, the USA. A extremely passionate and patriotic nation in itself. A country which is driven by its own weakness to the extent that the words reason and understanding become wiped from their vocabulary. How on earth did we become their puppet (my moneys on Mr Blair!) it may seem a bit late to be saying all this but the truth be told I did not know what to say before, and I think I speak for many when I say this, but was so shocked and stunned by the speedy development of this situation that I did not know what to think. I am very sorry to say that I fear Mr Bush has had his way. Adopt crash positions, these actions will only spiral into further destructive conflict!
I watched your programme tonight and it simply reinforced my opinion that the anti-war movement are a minority group of anti-establishment, anti-American communists, who support Saddam Hussein¿s reign of terror. The far left of the Labour Party have been squeezed out by Tony Blair, and this is their retribution. A small minority of social misfits gaining prime time television
The vast majority of Brits are 100% behind the Government and our troops, they understand that you have to eradicate a cancer before it grows. The democratically elected members of parliament voted to go to war. I trust the decision and I am proud to be British.
The programme has contained a good summary of both positions. I for one am very relieved that Blair did not give in to the loud cries of the anti war coalition. I am glad that most of my compatriots are anti-war by instinct, but we need to look beyond that. There is some evidence that there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, the country has a psychopath for a leader, and his sons have been brought up to be the same. We are not safe. Furthermore, it would only take a few terrorist with access to a relatively small amount of this stuff to wreak havoc with out country and our civilisation. We cannot take this chance. Iraq has had 12 years to disarm and satisfy the weapons inspector that they were no longer a risk. Patience and best intentions are not sufficient to counter terrorism. This war is necessary.
I was deeply upset at your programme tonight. The programme was one sided and biased and I don't think it represents the view of the majority of the British people. I think the BBC should be very careful at the view they are portraying, as people like myself have family members serving in the arm forces and my children and my self feel we are under enough stress with out your programme adding to it.
The ridiculously biased minority views expressed tonight made me so angry that I came straight to voice my complaint. I like many others are becoming very tired of the one-sided bleating coming from the BBC. What has happened to this one time paragon of truth and fairly presented views? Come on BBC, get your act together and you may once again command the respect that Tony Blair does from the majority of voters in Britain. (Am I too cynical to suggest that quite a few of our young protestors this week were quite enjoying a day out of school and may not have been so enthusiastic had it been driving rain and wind!!)
I would like to say I am unable to go on any march's as I have to work and I would suggest there are a lot of people who also are unable to afford time of work but would like to go. I have signed a petition before the war to show my objection to the war and I still believe it is wrong, I did vote for this government but I will not be doing so again.
I am a Muslim. I do not call other non-Muslim 'infidels' as many programs these day seem to show. I am not anti-American either. But I am against the war. Not because Iraq is a country with Muslims but because it is clear that the motive behind the war is not as 'righteous' as people would like to believe. You only need to open your eyes to see the truth. Saddam Hussain is a nasty man, but this war will cause more harm to the people than good.
I wonder how well Tony Blair manages to justify his support of George Bush's war with his supposed Christian faith. He is not supported by the majority of thinking people, he is engaging the UK in a war that all the mainstream churches view as an unjust war and he appears to have no concept of the opinion of others. While Bush may be a bully, Tony Blair is apparently his side kick (which of course every bully needs). It is a real shame that the Labour government has allowed the UK to become embroiled in an issue that will have long lasting and possibly irredeemable consequences, for all parties. The Panorama programme this evening was insightful - particularly the images of Blair saying both ... no war without 2nd resolution, and a few weeks later ... yes war without 2nd resolution.
I live in Blackburn, it is good that the programme gave a fair hearing to both sides. I have been totally behind Tony Blair long before the war talk started and I am every inch an Englishman.
Can nobody see beyond the bombs, and that surely the world will unite to bring aid to those in need in Iraq once present regime has been eliminated. Tony Blair and Jack Straw along with Phil Riley are standing strong and what else can an Englishman ask for. They are all doing what we all know is the right thing in the end. The standing up and shouting that Muslims in Blackburn are stood solely on their respective religion yesterday felt like a war cry in itself!
The programme today did not feel one-sided towards anti-war movement. I saw Muslims calling for the 'infidels' to be punished, a Labour MP describing the Muslim community in Blackburn as being 'bicultural', Jack Straw sticking up for Mr Blair. I am a Muslim and I am against the war NOT because I agree with Saddam's regime, (I believe he is mentally unstable) or just because Iraq is a country with Muslims but because of the motives behind the war. These motives are clear for anyone to see if they opened their eyes to it.
This must be about the most biased programme I have ever seen, where were the views of the Muslims terrorised by Saddam Hussein, the Kurds, people of Kuwait, the victims of his weapons of mass destruction?
Given the usual high standard of Panorama programmes, I was keen to watch what was billed as an insight into the Blair Cabinet at a time of war. Instead what I saw was a poor piece of anti-war propaganda. The fact that it was shown whilst Coalition troops (and journalists) are being killed was highly inappropriate.
Thank you Panorama for a well-balanced programme. All sides were given the opportunity to speak, allowing the public to make up its own mind about background to the present crisis. Particularly interesting was the opportunity to hear the views of the leaders of the anti-war movement who may be less well known to us and who have received very little air-time up until now. More please soon.
Excellent programme. Why don't all those pro-war whingers organize their own PRO-WAR march and lets see how many turn up.
I do not think that I have ever seen such a one sided programme in my entire life, and what a time to show such a programme. The country should be united at this moment of time instead you put on a programme that does nothing but divide. If these people do not like what Tony Blair is doing why don't they stand by their convictions and resign? Maybe Tony Blair can teach them a thing or two about conviction. Why don't these people go and live under Saddam's rule for a while and let us see how bad they think Tony Blair in then!!!!
I am very glad to see this programme broadcast - it may only be days since the start of this war but it seems a long time since the views of those who still believe the war to be wrong have been heard.
Congratulations BBC for tonight¿s edition of Panorama. I have supported the Blair government over the last 6 years ... however I have been ashamed of the way Tony Blair has led this country and our troops into an immoral war. Britain is finally growing up to the fact that our leaders have hidden agendas and alternative motives that the public on all levels are finally waking up to. Well done for this programme.
I sat back to watch more BBC 'spin' against Blair and the War and was pleasantly surprised by your neutral, factual approach. Do you think you could persuade your news services to be equally neutral? Recently, BBC News has presented the same views as the Guardian.
Previously I had no time for Tony Blair, but the stand he has taken has sent him up in my estimation. We have no choice but to bring Saddam Hussein down by whatever means.
I wish to complain about the Panorama programme on BBC1 tonight. It was billed as a programme examining whether the Iraq war will cost Tony Blair his premiership but was in fact propaganda for the misguided morons of the anti war brigade. It put the anti was message across for 60 minutes with very little chance reply for the majority of us who support the view of Tony Blair and George Bush. I also think that when our soldiers are fighting and dying in Iraq it is not acceptable to broadcast a programme effectively undermining and not supporting them.
I want to thank you for an informative and moving programme. I don't consider myself to be political - I don't know enough to think well in political terms but your programme gave me the impression that Mr Blair is to my mind not acting in the true interests of the Labour Party. I don't believe the war in Iraq is right and fear it will bring about great unrest and further violence world wide. I vehemently oppose the bullish attitude of George Bush. Thank you so much for giving me a clearer understanding of the situation. I have never been on a demonstration - your programme has made me feel that I could count by taking an active interest.
Tonight's programme made me realize that Tony Blair has been incredibly brave to stick to his principles (in a world where that is almost unheard of in a politician). You showed that the 'opposition' is made up of old communist and left-wing organisers who would be against any war, particularly one in which America was involved. God willing, Blair will be shown to have been brave and right.
At last a programme that does not treat those of us that believe in peace as 'naive and simplistic' as that wretched (retiring) bishop described us the other day. I will NEVER vote for a Labour Party that contains Tony Blair, Jack Straw or indeed Claire Short.
What has happed to the Labour party? I listened to Tony Benn at the rally on Saturday and felt proud. I watch the TV and feel ashamed at what is being done in my name and with the large amount of money I pay in tax. Since the start of this millennium I have given around 100,000 GBP of my own money to OXFAM. I wonder how much our Christian leader has given to charity?

Thoughtful piece, fatuous headline. How about Blair & 60% of the country's war! Some decisions have to extend beyond your political power base - war happens to be an obvious one. Feel free to name me alongside the PM in the next copy!!
I thought tonight's programme was a poor reflection on what is actually happening in the country. There was a strong bias towards the peace movement and its views but no representation of the public supporting the Prime Minister. I have been proud of the way Tony Blair has done what is right and ignored those who are basically appeasers who offer no alternatives which Saddam Hussein understands. I have a friend in the Royal Marines out in Iraq at the moment and I would like to wish him and all the other coalition forces the best of luck in doing what is right.
The Panorama just screened was another example of what appears to be a clear anti-war campaign on the part of the BBC and its news and current affairs presenters in the UK.
I had hoped that Panorama would (unlike most media) present an honest and balanced view of the Iraq situation, instead the program concentrated upon those protesting against the war. Is it not true that the majority of people are in favour of ending the desperate situation in Iraq. I feel that you did not give appropriate airtime to the majority of the UK who are in favour of stopping Saddam. How do you justify biasing your program towards the minority view?
I was extremely unimpressed by your one-sided programme. Britain is run as a democracy not a public committee. There was a vote - in parliament - and action was voted for by a large majority.
Excellent programme. Now we must wait. Saddam will obviously be ousted. We, whether we agreed with the war or not, need to act to ensure the peace which follows is one which allows the Iraqi people to run their country. For my small part I will suggest Mr Gorbechov is the man best suited to organise the country prior to an election of a new, democratic Iraq.
I watched this evenings programme with dismay at what I can only perceive as a one-sided biased view. The people interviewed in the programme insisted that they represented the majority of British people, this I cannot agree with. They do not represent my views!
I see the thought police have been active once again. The demands, (not appeals please note), that just because our troops are once again paying the price for crassly incompetent leadership, we should stop thinking. This war is for the benefit of an ignorant, ill educated, politically inept, loser. It is about rampant US imperialism and it seeks to advance the economic and political power of that country. It is NOT about anything else. The war is unnecessary, illegal and is the responsibility of Bush.
I can only assume that the entire panorama production team are avid members of the anti-war campaign, as the programme that I have just seen was blatantly biased towards them. No-one in their right mind wants a war, but I'd rather have one now than have terrorists/Saddam bomb us with Chemical/Nuclear/Biological weapons in a couple of years time - Keep it up Tony, you're doing a great job!!!
GOOD programme. Keep up the good work. But, what about the British casualties in this war? Iraqi casualties? Wouldn't this affect the whole thing?
Looking back through history, it seems that many of the worst leaders have held a simple black-and-white view of the world. Mr Blair constantly repeats the same assertions and beliefs he holds, yet never manages to convince anyone else they are true. I have rarely heard such an unconvincing politician.
I was wondering why none of the anti-war crowd had anti-Saddam banners protesting his treatment of Iraqis, and demanding their liberation? Then again, I suppose the answer is obvious.
Blair's war you say. Our war I say. One sided, partisan and a poor reflection of British opinion at this time. Shame on you Vivian White.
Thank you Tony Blair for standing strong. You have my respect.
I am no great fan of this present Labour administration, and like most people have doubts about the current war with Iraq, but tonight's programme is unfairly one-sided. It is an apology for the anti-war movement and completely unbalanced, unashamedly so. You do no favours for the name of the usually excellent Panorama programme and I am extremely disappointed with the biased editorial line taken. Very, very disappointed.
Tony Blair has always had the unenviable position in the present situation with Iraq. He is to be applauded for holding to his conviction, but I feel strongly that he has been pressurised by Bush. War has come far too soon; the weapons inspectors should have been given more time to do their job thoroughly.
Whilst this country's servicemen are risking, and tragically today some losing, their lives I do not understand why your program is being broadcast. Fortunately our system is that of a parliamentary democracy, with a government accounting to an elected parliament rather than run by the media or other pressure groups. It seems absurd that an organisation broadcasting programs of such a political nature as this edition of panorama should continue to be funded by license fees.
Mr. Blair is a true leader as is George Bush. History will prove this someday. They both are guided by principle rather than poll (like Bill Clinton).
I admire the courage of your prime minister. He is a better man for his job than Chirac and Schröder are for theirs.
It is my belief that Tony Blair wanted to go to war to make himself a world figure and make sure of his place in history. He then couldn't back down without losing face. Whatever happens why should he care? If he loses his job he is on an enormous pension for the rest of his life. Maybe Prime Ministers' pensions should be linked to their term of office. They would then have something to lose if they make bad decisions.

State law requires the auditor to annually audit the accounts of each county sheriff. In compliance with this law, the auditor issues two sheriff's reports each year: one reporting on the audit of the sheriff's tax account and the other reporting on the audit of the fee account used to operate the office.
The first few years of a child's life play a critical role in its overall success or failure as an adult. Recently a new group was created to help the children of Harrison County grow and develop to their full potential.
The group is called the "Harrison County Community Early Childhood Council" (CECC) and its purpose is to bring organizations together so that they can serve the area's children more efficiently and effectively.

Bluegrass Community and Technical College (BCTC) Dental Hygiene student, Kacey L. Muntz, has been named the 2011 recipient of the L.R. Bean Dental Radiology Award.
The award is named for Dr. L. R. Bean who taught dental radiology at Lexington Community College (now BCTC) for more than 17 years. In 1991, he created an endowment for a dental hygiene student who showed 'empathy with patients, a sense of humor, and exceptional abilities in the area of oral radiology.' Since Bean's death, his family has continued to sponsor the scholarship.
Scott and Evelyn Middleton of Cynthiana will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversay. They were married March 3, 1962, and have a daughter, son-in-law and a granddaughter.

Hucknall families have been taking part in a healthy lifestyle programme at the town's leisure centre as part of an Ashfield District Council initiative.
The B Active B Healthy programme has been running between November 2013 and January 2014 and has had an extremely positive impact on the young people attending.
The course has run in partnership between the council and Everyone Active, to provide families with information and support to lead healthier lifestyles in a fun environment through physical activity and healthy eating.
During the activities, the young people spent an hour taking part in multi-sport or junior gym based activities and, in the healthy eating session, they had an opportunity to learn about nutrition and how to eat a healthy and balanced diet.
"B Active, B Healthy is a great initiative which has achieved brilliant outcomes," said Coun Jim Aspinall, Ashfield District Council's lead on health and wellbeing. "Ashfield District Council is keen to continue working with our partners on initiatives like this to improve the health and wellbeing of our communities."
Individual activity levels have improved by 26.25 per cent with each young person now averaging 12.8 hours of exercise per week. At the same time their TV screen viewing reduced by 27.8 per cent from 7.8 hours to 5.6 hours per week. A remarkable achievement by all involved.
"My child really got involved in this project," said one of the parents whose family took part. "She eats well now, makes healthier choices and has not had white bread or any kind of drink other than water or milk for the 10 weeks and will keep this up.
"She has enjoyed the physical activity sessions immensely.
"We know what portions of food to eat daily and how much fat/sugar/salt is a little and a lot"
The next session will take place at Sutton's Lammas Leisure Centre in April. For more information contact Dianne Holmes by emailing: firstname.lastname@example.com or telephone 01623 457233.

Panicking...camping with 6 dc and 2 dogs on basic-ish site - give me your tips!!(21 Posts)
Really good thread here
Mind you if you took everything suggested you'd need an artic!
I bought the electric coolbox from Aldi a few weeks ago and have been really impressed with it, £35 well spent
thanks all
will have to check out lidle as that is the one thing I still need.
Have gone for a small pop up shelter that has zippable door for the dogs - we will put it in the middle bit of the tent for night time. (although aslo like the idea of banishing one or two kids into that instead if they are being too annoying!)
Also now have toilet tent and portable toilet, tarp and windbreak for cooking and small day tent for extra day space.
Keeping fingers firmly crossed that roof bars arrive on time or we wont fit it all in the car LOL
DS1 has just returned from a trip to Russia that included camping with the Russian explorer scouts and he is a seasoned camper. he has thrown himself into this project with great enthusiasm and has come up with a menu for the week for us!
Now just have to keep fingers crossed for at least not complete total torrential rain all week and all sould be good!
I think Lidl have electric coolboxes atm, no idea how good they are though.
Target - not Traget - obviously!!
dalek thanks. Traget is a bit of a long way to go LOL but the pet planet ones look good! Thanks
At Target in the US, which is probably not very helpful. But they're a lot like these from Petplanet
thanks momb toilet tent ordered
dalek where did you get the pop up crates? they sound ideal. Flynn is used to a crate and Bella would be ok in one....
We use pop up crates for our pooches. They're like little mini tents. But ours are used to sleeping in crates at home.
On day tent vs gazebo: depends entirely on the size of the living area of your tent.
We have an 8-man with decent living area so we don't have additional living space, but we do have a 2x2m cooking/utility tent which houses the hob and all the food boxes and a prep table. We even set up disposable barbecues on a cooking stand in there (away from the walls). If you have hook up you could run it to a utility and avoid the risk of fire completely in your living/sleeping tent.
We have a tarp for hanging out outside but tend to only use it if we're at an outdoorsy site and are cooking over a wood fire.
On the portaloo: some people have a bucket with seat but I couldn't sleep with that only 2m from my head. If you go for a portapotty with blue liquid it has a very distinctive smell which will taint your tent, clothes and bedding if you have it in the tent with you. Some people embrace this but I'm a great believer in going to the flush toilets before you sleep or going to a designated toilet tent. They only cost £25 and you can put it outside the back door away from neighbours.
nooooooo! The dogs will NOT be going into Kennels!!!
The main reason we chose this site is how doggy friendly it was. They do have on site day kennels we may use for a day if we want a day out with kids where dogs cant go, but other than that they'll be with us. Wouldnt go on holiday if my doglets couldn't come! (would consider putting the dc in kennels though LOL )
Put the dogs in kennels!!
And enjoy your holiday
any tips on day tent V gazebo.....
thanks all.
will get the loo then I think....where should it go do i need one of those loo tents?
those bags look a great idea -thanks momb will get some of them, great tips on food too. Maybe I'll have more luck getting them to straighten their sleeping bags than I have getting them to make their beds LOL
The owner has been V helpful in emails and sounds lovely which is reassuring!
Dogs could maybe sleep in the car but may not settle well....tbh once they're on their beds they would probably just stay there but I couldnt leave them while Im asleep just in case....don't think they'd fit in the pods as they are already V full LOL
May invest in folding travel crates for them.....or did think about a V small pop up tent to put inside middle area of our tent....will ponder some more.
Thanks all... relaxing slightly now....
Could the dogs sleep in the car? Or inside one of the sleeping pods with you or the kids if they have built in ground sheets?
We regularly camp with 5DC, so can advise on that but not the dogs I'm afraid. I'd be tempted to tether them so they don't get out in the night and disturb others, but I say this as a non-owner.
As to the camping: take some stuff which won't go off for easy meals and then buy perishables as you go along, rather than packing food for the full week which you will struggle to store. Cereal bars, pepperamis, juice boxes, crisps etc can all be left in a box rather than having to chill.
On a basic site washing up becomes a chore so do as little as possible. Make the camping food part of the experience: invest in these:
so everyone squishes their own eggs in the bag for breakfast, which are then cooked in one pan of water. You still have a pan of clean water for tea/washing up. Ours like to add ham or veg and have little omelettes, eaten with a fork straight out of the bag. Barbecue
as much as possible. Even hot dogs taste better cooked quickly over coals. Eat fruit and salad to top up the vitamins but cook with as little fuss as possible. Buy presliced rolls for bacon/ham/sliced cheese: a piece of kitchen paper is as good as a plate if you are eating a bap!
We use bags for most food prep/mixing to save on cleaning; chocolate cake mix only needs and egg and some water, and can be squished in the bag before pouring into orange skins to cook on the BBQ (seems loads of faff but is in fact easy and the kids love being involved).
Make s'mores over the barbecues as they are getting too cool for cooking meat.
Make every child responsible for straightening their own sleeping bag and putting their PJs away. Ours have specific assigned jobs for tent set up and striking camp too, otherwise it gets too much.
Tire them out so they sleep well and you get some time to yourselves, and try and be the first one up so you get that all important first cuppa in peace!
ooh just a thought. Def get the portable loo if you need a wee in the night most nights. Can't be doing with ripping over guy ropes in the dark!
It will be ok!! Camping is so laid back. You need to be too. Ive always found other campers and site managers to be of great help if you need it. The kids will amuse themselves, just get the tent up and stick the kettle on/open the wine and the rest will fall into place....not literally i hope.
I wouldn't worry about the kids (I just took my 3 on my own, one is a baby) but the dogs escaping would concern me.
I think you need to establish what you're going to do with them first, then you can relax a bit about everything else.
HELP! I have just booked us 6 nights camping holiday on a small site on the noth Devon Coast. Am very excited BUT haven't been camping for 6 years and hated it last time (but then I was 7 months pg and chasing after a toddler and other dc !!) SOOO I need ot get organised to make sure we have enough to make it enjoyable rather than endurable!
We are a large family- me and DH, 6 dc (15,13,11,9, 7 and 5) and 2 dogs!!
We have an 8 man tent - TBH could do with a slightly bigger one but cant afford it this yr so will manage!
I am thinking of getting a gazebo or day tent to give us more living space - and maybe to put table and chairs under for dining - any recomendations. Have checked with site and both are OK on pitch.
Also we will have electric hook up for first time ever - so will have kettle, then maybe electric coolbox/small fridge - reccomend me one please - cheap as possible!
Also planning on getting a decathalon tarp and a wind break to set up cooking area.
Disposable BBQs..
Have 2 ring camping stove but am panicing a bit about cooking for 8 on that!! any tips??
Was considering portable toilet for night times....do I need a toilet tent to put it in...worth it or not???
Campsite is basic, but has flushing toilets and showers. Quiet with lots of space around tents for kids to play etc...
Tips please on lights...electric ones or battery or what? Am thinking head torches too....
and the dogs....ground sheet is not sewn in and the dogs like escaping under the sides (we discovered on practice run on Sat!!) was planning they would sleep in middle bit, but need a way to ensure they stay put...not enough room in the pods really...not sure they would be happy to be tethered all night...any ideas?!
so, as you can see I am panicing just a bit! BUT I am hopeful it will be great and kids will enjoy laid back atmosphere and sace and freedom...please come and tell me it will beOK!

Tamagotchi-Type Pet Teaches Kids How To Make Sourdough Bread
A research team are developing a toy that is meant to be cared for and nurtured to cultivate yeast in order to produce homemade bread and teach kids about sustainability.
Foundry, a research team at Mint Digital, is working on a sourdough toy and online game for children. The Tamagotchi-type device has a real-world purpose: to encourage kids to nurture and cultivate yeast so they can make bread.
The team has carried out experimental bread making and extensive taste testing. They have also designed a physical 'nest', which houses the vessel that holds the sourdough. This transparent globe has sensors that monitor different variables to track the bread's progress.
Wired reports that children can use the globe as a game controller in an accompanying online world, to move around a dough-like blob called Doug. If they haven't taken care of their bread, they won't be able to play any games. If their sourdough has been looked after, they will be able to play with Doug and could uncover recipes by getting a highscore. Check out Foundry's blog to find out more about the project.
