Despite being further from the coast than most counties in England, Worcestershire still possesses a wide range of habitats. The Severn valley runs from the north to the south of the county and is joined by the river Teme from the west, and the Salwarpe and Avon from the east. The county is surrounded by hills with the Suckley and Malvern Hills in the west, Bredon Hill and the start of the Cotswolds in the south and the Clent and Lickey Hills in the north. All of these hills have good access and are worth exploring at any time of the year.
The major woodland in the county is the Wyre Forest on the Shropshire border to the north west, but despite much of the county being good farmland there are quite a number of smaller woods holding good birdlife. Many of these are managed by the Worcestershire Wildlife Trust, such as Pipers Hill Common, Monkwood and Chaddesley Wood all of which contain populations of common woodland birds and summer warblers. There are even a few remnants of heathland on the sandstone deposits in the north west of the county, such as Hartlebury Common and The Devils Spittleful. The only remaining common of any size in the county is at Castlemorton in the southwest.
The only sizeable reservoirs in the county are at Bittell in the northeast but there are a great many smaller lakes and pools holding good numbers of wildfowl, such as those at Upton Warren and Bredon's Hardwick.

Places to Stay
Bowers Hill Farm
Bowers Hill is a large secluded Victorian farmhouse set within 80 acres of a mixed working farm. If you are lucky you may see the green woodpecker but you had better be quick, or you could even catch a glimpse of a fox or badger as evening draws to a close. Look around you, the Cotswold hills, Meon hill and Bredon hill make up the surrounding panorama.
Forest View Retreat
Stay right on the edge of the Wyre Forest in one of our exclusive luxury self catering Log Cabins. Just bring yourselves and we will take care of everything else!!
Oaklands B&B
Oaklands B&B is an attractive cottage residence in a rural location, yet only minutes from the motorway (M5 Junction 6) and from the centre of Worcester. All rooms are en suite with tea and coffee making facilities. There is plenty of off-road parking, as well as gardens and in-house snooker. It is an ideal centre for touring. Children and pets are welcome.
West Midland Bird Club

Worcestershire Wildlife Trust
Lower Smite Farm, Smite Hill, Hindlip, Worcester, WR3 8SZ 01905 754919 email@example.com - We care for more than 70 nature reserves which include many of the best wildlife habitats in Worcestershire. The Trust`s ownership guarantees they are protected for ever. They include: Pools and marshes - providing refuges for otters, dragonflies and birds such as kingfishers, wildfowl and wading birds. One of our highest priorities is to conserve, restore and recreate marsh, reedbed and open waters of which so little remains…
Museum of the Worcestershire Natural History Society
The Natural History Collections are very important in the history of the City Museum as their origins go back to the Museum of the Worcestershire Natural History Society in the 1830s. In the nineteenth century specimens of animals, birds and plants were collected from all around the world, but any current acquisitions are made in collaboration with local wildlife trusts and are restricted to Worcestershire. Today, the local material in the collection is valuable as comparative with the biological records produced by the Worcestershire Biological Centre at the Worcestershire Wildlife Trust…
Chaddesley Wood National Nature Reserve
Chaddesley Woods were probably mentioned in the Domesday Book as the 'wood of two leagues' and we think that parts of the site were wooded since the Ice Age 6-10,000 years ago. The presence of ancient woodland indicator species support this – flowers such as yellow archangel, herb Paris and dog's mercury and trees like small-leaved lime and wild service trees.

Photographers & Artists
Photographer - Dave Barnes
I am an amateur photographer who takes photos of birds through being a frustrated freehand artist. Having given up trying to draw I now get a lot of pleasure from trying to capture the beauty of birds with a camera as I see them. I can only assume that not everyone sees them as I do or whole world would be full of birders! I want to improve the pictures I take so any tips or advice greatfully received ;) For those who have already done that thank you…
Photographer - Mark Hancox
I have a small woodland in Worcestershire and now run workshops to photograph various wildlife in the wood ,and also rent my various hides , please see the workshop heading for further details…

Welcome to the Center for Service, Spirituality and Social Justice!
Social justice is defined as "promoting a just society by challenging injustice and valuing diversity." It exists when "all people share a common humanity and therefore have a right to equitable treatment, support for their human rights, and a fair allocation of community resources." In conditions of social justice, people are "not to be discriminated against, nor their welfare and well-being constrained or prejudiced on the basis of gender, sexuality, religion, political affiliations, age, race, belief, disability, location, social class, socioeconomic circumstances, or other characteristics of background or group membership" (Toowoomba Catholic Education, 2006). CSSS seeks not only to expose students to the opportunities for service and experiencing differences in faith but also to encourage students to understand what it means to challenge injustice, support human rights and work to bring about a just society.

Orange is the color of CSSS and you might wonder, "why orange?"
The color psychology of orange is optimistic and uplifting, rejuvenating the spirit. In fact orange is so optimistic and uplifting that we should all find ways to use it in our everyday life, even if it is just an orange colored pen.
The color orange relates to social communication, stimulating two-way conversations. A warm and inviting color, it is both physically and mentally stimulating, so it gets people thinking and talking!
Orange aids in the assimilation of new ideas and frees the spirit of its limitations, giving us the freedom to be ourselves. At the same time it encourages self-respect and respect of others.

We've noticed that people seem to really enjoy our profiles of bookish types. (Yes, we actually do pay attention to things like reader comments and website traffic – not to mention retweets!). So, we are making a concerted effort to shine the light more frequently (and possibly more brightly) on the interesting individuals who make the bookish world go round.
Today we chat with Laura Dawson, who blogs at LJNDawson.com, and also pens the industry newsletter: The Big Picture . Laura (AKA: @LJNDawson on Twitter where she is a very valuable member of the bookish tweeting community), is a book tech savvy gal about town. As the CEO of LJNDawson.com, Laura helps lots of different players in the industry position themselves in publishing's rapidly changing landscape. When not spreading the news that "books aren't just books anymore," Laura raises two fantastic daughters, and perfects her skills as a consumate foodie. But, since we're here to learn about her bookish side, we managed to keep the conversation centered on that…
KM: What is the focus of your work at LJNDawson.com?
LD: I work with publishers, booksellers, and service providers in the book industry to help them navigate the challenges imposed on them by technological innovation. It's a natural outgrowth of the work I have done in traditional jobs – at Muze, at Barnes & Noble.com, at SirsiDynix – all of these positions involved looking at different aspects of the book industry.
E-commerce, publishing, libraries – in each position, I had to get well-versed very quickly. But there's only so much you can accomplish at any one company – what's great about consulting is that you are continually exposed to new problems and new challenges, and you're always learning.
KM:What's your favorite part of your job?
LD: Um, all of it? I just really love what I do. I grew up in a very rural area where there were no bookstores. There still aren't! I had two ways to get my mitts on books – the public library (which conveniently was right behind my house) and Scholastic Book Clubs.
I've become very passionate about access – about getting information to curious people (particularly kids) regardless of their economic or demographic circumstances. There is no reason curiosity should run up against walls anymore. I see technology – ebooks, syndication, content licensing, adaptive technology for the disabled – as being incredibly liberating for people who normally wouldn't have access to big libraries or bookstores…or even traditional books as we know them.
I'm all about getting information to people – to the "end user" (I hate that term – it sounds like Judgment Day) – as rapidly, cheaply, and universally as possible. There should not be economic barriers to information. Balancing this belief with the belief that content is valuable and content creators should be paid (well) for what they do – this is the conundrum of my life. My career takes place between these two beliefs.
KM: What inspired you to start your blog and what inspired you to start your newsletter?
LD: I've been waiting for someone to ask me this! I started my blog in 2005, right after BEA. I just felt at that point I'd been in the business long enough to have valuable things to say. I started my newsletter in 2006 – I wanted something a little more long-form than the blog, where I could ruminate and pontificate more. And do fun things like "The Breadline" – which is where I talk about cool start-ups that are growing in the recession – or This Issue's Acronym, which has turned out to be enormously popular.
Occasionally I'll have a guest post. And I keep track of my colleagues as they roam around and release new products and move to different companies – the newsletter is like a playground for me.
KM Has the focus for either your blog or newsletter changed over time?
LD: No, I think it's still short-form vs. long-form. It's more about what the reader can take at any given moment. If you open a newsletter, you know you'll be there a while. If you land on a blog, you don't expect to be there for long. I will say that I feel a bit freer on the blog – I can launch a rant, or get passionate about something – and I'm more guarded and "professional" in the newsletter.
KM: Which of your blog posts so far is your favorite or most popular?
LD: I think my most favorite is like my second post ever, which was called "Lou Dobbs Is A Raving Nutball," where I ended it: "Things that are supposed to make this blog massively popular. Excuse me while I do the necessary: sex, alien abduction, Oprah, Tom Cruise, Lindsay Lohan, Pat Robertson, Dick Cheney, Mark of the Beast, Armageddon, free money, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt. Sex. Oprah."
Lou Dobbs IS a raving nutball, by the way. That much hasn't changed.
KM: What do you find most rewarding about blogging?
LD: Definitely the cash. (j/k) Truthfully, I'm just grateful to have a platform that seems to be self-supporting. My father was a minister – he delivered a sermon every Sunday. He was unusual – he almost never did re-runs, and my brother and sister and I would tease him unmercifully if he did. "We heard that one before!" If I had to get all evangelical about it, I've got two pulpits and a big message. And I don't want to do re-runs.
KM: Is there anything that gets you down about blogging?
LD: A blog is like a baby – it has to be fed, nurtured, changed. Babies grow up. Blogs never do. This can be rather draining sometimes.
KM: What is your take on the changes in publishing right now? Good-bad? both/neither?
LD: Exciting. Just exciting. Models are changing, the definition of "book" is changing – I love the atomization of content. There are all these different ways of packaging it and making it available to people – I think this is amazing. I see how it is also frightening or threatening to traditional ways of thinking. I empathize. Not liking it, however, doesn't make it go away.
My aim is to bring publishers and others along in their own time, the way they should naturally evolve. Some like a fast move, others not so much. We'll all get there in the end. This is a time of upheaval and not everybody's going to respond equally to that. That's okay.
KM: Do you read paper books, ebooks, both/neither?
LD: I read everything I can get my hands on, in whatever format I can get it. I have a Kindle. Not everything's available for it yet, though. Digital reading is great and I prefer it, but if I can get paper books cheaper/faster, I'll go that route. Let's not underestimate the library. I can go online and reserve an entire series of books for no money, pick them up at my local branch – which is three blocks away from me. That beats paying $9.99 apiece for a mystery series I'm going to forget next week. But if the library can't supply that crucial third book in the series when I want it, I'll buy it.
KM: What's your favorite book?

Banbridge end good year by crushing Dungannon
Banbridge RFC 50 Dungannon 5
It was an encouraging end of 2015 for Banbridge as not only do they head AIL 2A but have now moved to the top of SONI UCL 2 following a rather one sided 50-5 victory over Dungannon at Rifle Park on Saturday.
They now have a maximum 10 points with the Stevenson Park team one point in arrears but having played an extra game.
Bann dictated the pattern of play throughout and with an abundance of possession opened up a 31-0 interval advantage with five tries.
The pick was the last one when full-back Adam Ervine, who had earlier crossed for the second, took off from around halfway and weaved through the visiting defence.
Earlier open side flanker Ethan Harbinson scored the first early on and speedy winger John Porter had two to his credit. Shandon Scott converted three and later added a further two after the restart.
Seven minutes into the period Mike Bentley dashed in and then Ervine cut through, linked with Porter for Harbinson to go in under the posts.
Dungannon managed a short fightback with a Darren Simpson try but with two minutes remaining a Scott grubber kick through the Dungannon defence allowed Andrew Morrison to touch down for the eighth.
No games were played in SONI UCL 1 due to the cup final on Thursday evening, but the second game in Division 2 was at Upper Malone were Belfast Harlequins gained a rare victory against Queen's by a 27-15 scoreline.
The students had much the superior back line but they struggled to gain enough ball against the dominant visiting back.
They did lead 10-7 at the halfway stage with Joel McBride, son of former Irish international Denis, scoring twice.
His second was the try of the afternoon when he gathered from broken play far out and sprinted in.
Most teams now have a week off but it's back to the AIL in a fortnight.
Banbridge scorers: John Porter (2), Adam Ervine (2), Ethan Harbinson (2), Mike Bentley & Andrew Morrison tries. Shandon Scott 5 cons.
Dungannon scorers: Darren Simpson try

text: California Cup, now an annual rite of autumn on the Southern California racing calendar, paraded forth for the 11th time on Oct. 28, as a jubilant Oak Tree crowd of 24,526 came out to catch the usual plateful of bright colors, beaming faces, and big races. What they walked away with was racing history. With the all-time record for lifetime victories carefully tucked away in his pocket, Laffit Pincay Jr. refocused last winter and turned his attention to another unprecedented figure. It didn't take him very long to get it. But Pincay simply didn't hit 9,000 wins. Suffused with the joy of his granddaughter Madelyn's first birthday, he smashed the barrier like a wrecking ball through a shack, capping his unforgettable October afternoon with a runaway victory--his record fifth stakes win of the day--aboard 11-1 Sky Jack in the centerpiece event, the $250,000 Wells Fargo Bank California Cup Classic. Of Pincay's six Cal Cup mounts, Sky Jack appeared to be in the deepest waters. A 4-year-old Jaklin Klugman gelding bred and owned by Rene and Margie Lambert, he had shown enough in allowance and minor stakes company to warrant a second look. But he'd never faced the kind of line-up the nine-furlong Classic brought out. Among his rivals were last year's champ Bagshot and his promising stablemate Spacelink, Grey Memo, Cliquot, and Literal Prowler--all graded-stakes performers. Naturally, Sky Jack went out and turned the race upside down. With a definite speed bias playing into the day's merriment, Pincay put Sky Jack right on the front end when the gates opened. Bagshot kept them company to the far turn before backing out, allowing Sky Jack to steal away for good. Clear by three turning for home, he was untouched the rest of the way, hitting the wire 4 1/2 lengths ahead in 1:49.03. Literal Prowler emerged from the vanquished to claim second, with another longshot, First Journey, two lengths back in third. Sky Jack comes from the barn of Doug O'Neill. CHA-CHING If there was ever going to be a suitable horse to help Pincay cash in No. 9,000, it had to have a name like "Chi-chim!" Chichim has done her fair share of ringing the cash register throughout a productive sprint career for trainer Juan Garcia. Once available for a $20,000 claiming tag, the 5-year-old mare has made nearly $400,000 for owner Marianne Millard, who bred the daughter of Chimineas in partnership with her friend, the late Bea Rous. But it took a bold stretch run for Chichim to take the Louis R. Rowan $150,000 California Cup Distaff Handicap and vault her rider into 9,000-country. Biding her time near the back as the field sprinted down the hillside turf, Chichim swung wide into the stretch, grabbed the lead passing the eighth pole, then held off both Dusty Heather and Cover Gal. The neck victory made her just the third horse ever to take back-to-back Cal Cup races (she took last year's Distaff by a length), joining Bel's Starlet and His Legacy. Sandwiched between his Classic and Distaff triumphs, Pincay nailed down the day's other grass race, coaxing a big run from Road to Slew to win the $175,000 Ralph M. Scurfield California Cup Mile. Without War Chant to reckon with this time, the 5-year-old Slewpy gelding had little trouble dealing with defending Mile champ Native Desert, beating him by 1 1/2 lengths. Road to Slew went the distance in 1:34.58 for owner-breeder Nick Cafarchia and trainer Craig Dollase. Pincay also bagged the Merial California Cup Distaff Starter Handicap with Russ Sarno's Shivareen Sky and the Kenneth M. Schiffer California Cup Starter Sprint Handicap with Heightenedawarenes. Both 4-year-olds are trained by Bill Spawr. STATE-MENTS While Chichim was able to reclaim her Cal Cup laurels for yet another year, the rest of the day was unkind to last year's heroes. Before Bagshot and Native Desert both went down in defeat, Full Moon Madness scotched Love That Red's attempt for a title defense in the $150,000 Donald Valpredo California Cup Sprint. It's been a stellar season for Virginia Corey's son of Half a Year, a chestnut iron-horse with the fight of a bulldog. Off for nearly 17 months with a mysterious back-end injury, the 5-year-old gelding has roared back to life this year, pulling down a half-dozen stakes on both grass and dirt. In the six-furlong Sprint, Full Moon Madness shadowed Love That Red to the quarter pole, then simply outkicked the 7-10 favorite home to score by a half-length in 1:09.21. He is trained by Bob Marshall. Later on, Feverish came back for another go at the $150,000 CTT/TOC California Cup Matron at 8 1/2 furlongs, but her bid for a repeat turned into nothing but a heartbreaker thanks to Gary Seidler's Queenie Belle, a 3-year-old Bertrando filly trained by Ben Cecil. The two hooked up heading into the far turn, and for the next three furlongs they ding-donged their way to the wire, finishing on virtually even terms. The margin was a nose, with Queenie Belle up in 1:42.93. On a day when the oldest rider in the jocks' room stole the show, the most dominant equine performances actually went to a pair of youngsters. In the $125,000 Budweiser California Cup Juvenile, a packed field of 2-year-olds left the gate eager for shot at two turns. At the finish, however, it was all Proud Tower. A 2-year-old Proud Irish colt owned by Tricar Stable, Proud Tower grabbed the lead early and never looked back, shaking loose to romp by eight lengths. Jamaican Rum and Cintegrity dead-heated for second. Trained by Jose Silva, Proud Tower went 1 1/16 miles in 1:43.43. Not to be outdone, Euro Empire returned from grade-I combat and laid the smack down on an unlucky bunch in the $125,000 XTRA Sports 690 AM California Cup Juvenile Fillies, also at 1 1/16 miles. The 2-year-old daughter of Bartok spent a good part of the summer trading blows with Notable Career, beating her on the square in a short sprint down at Del Mar. Notable Career went on to take the Oak Leaf Stakes (gr. I) and rates a strong chance in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (gr. I). Euro Empire was an honest second in the Oak Leaf, and on Cal Cup day, her competition didn't know what hit 'em. Taking command near the three-eighths pole, she simply left everyone behind, matching Proud Tower's eight-length margin at the finish. Marcelo Polanco trains Euro Empire for 5C Racing Stable.

Rep. Royce's oped appeared on the Flash Report:
With economic data pouring in, all indicators seem to be signaling an economic slowdown. Stemming from a troubled mortgage industry, the sluggish economy has become the most important issue to many in California. To address the growing concern, the Bush Administration and congressional leaders are touting their version of an economic "stimulus package" which would do more harm than good. The proposal I opposed in the House of Representative last week entails a spending increase of $150 billion. The Senate proposal is even more expensive, increasing several government programs.
Government spending must be paid for in some way. America is currently facing a budget deficit in the hundreds of billions of dollars. To cover such an outlay, the government would be forced to either increase taxes in the future or borrow the money by issuing $150 billion in new Treasury bonds - thereby absorbing money that would otherwise be going into private sector investment. China and other foreign governments are the largest purchasers of our government bonds and increasing our deficit means a greater reliance on the financing provided by these countries.
This enlarging federal deficit, in turn, puts upward pressure on prices, lessening the purchasing power of the dollar. The consumer price index recently showed that prices rose over four percent in 2007. The price of gold is also useful in determining if the threat of inflation is legitimate. From mid-2003 to the beginning of 2008, gold has more than doubled to over $900 an ounce. But one does not have to be in the market for gold to see a rising threat of a weakening dollar. The price of oil has quadrupled over the last five years (currently nearing $100 per barrel) and some economists have speculated that more than $50 of the per-barrel price - that is roughly half - comes from inflation and the speculation inflation triggers. If we are to continue the trend of economic prosperity of the last two decades, it is critical to keep inflation low. In a recent interview, former Chairman of the Federal Reserve Alan Greenspan noted, "One of the lessons of the last 20 years especially is that low inflation is the major contributor to economic growth overall, and that fundamentally, inflation must be suppressed."
The challenge of entitlement spending is daunting. Due to the increasing number of recipients and the shrinking number of workers paying into the system, the Social Security Trust Fund is projected to begin running deficits in 2017, and the Medicare Trust Fund is projected to be insolvent by 2019, not to mention Medicaid. According to the Heritage Foundation, in 2050, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid costs will have increased to 19 percent of GDP. And even if lawmakers eliminated every other government program to pay for these projected increases (everything from defense to border security) that still would not be enough to offset these ballooning entitlement costs. By continuing down the road of deficit spending, we make it less likely that a workable solution to these troubled entitlement programs is enacted.
The economic stimulus package put forward fails to address the underlying problems in the economy, nearly doubles the federal deficit, and it may have a lasting negative impact on the value of our dollar. By reducing the purchasing power of the dollar, this proposal threatens seniors' ability to live on a fixed income and hands future generations the tax bill through deficit spending. Given the current status of our entitlement programs, we need to rethink how we spend taxpayers' money. It is imperative that we balance our budget and get back to sound fiscal policy which promotes long-term economic growth. Unfortunately, Washington's quick fix voted on last week did neither of these.

Flamboyant, bohemian, extravagant, hedonistic, chaotic and completely off the wall, there are so many things that have been and will be said about The Secret Garden Party; in reality this festival is a one-off occupying a unique and unrivalled place on the festival circuit.
Partying and good times are taken very seriously at this festival but it's not the only factor taken into consideration on a specially built site that's crammed with magical delights guaranteed to make you question what you think you know about life, the universe and all things festival.
The Secret Garden Party or SGP as it is colloquially known is rather more than your average festival coming as it does from so many different angles. To enter SGP really is like stepping into a very different world, a world where everything seems possible and nothing is quite as it seems, simultaneously everything seems just as it should be, it's definitely a bit Alice in Wonderland. On a practical level you don't get charged extra for camping or parking and you also get a quality printed programme detailing the wealth of entertainment on offer, a valuable and very welcome step away from the norm, but then again just as you would expect because this whole event is a big step away from the norm.
Probably the least judgemental of all the festivals on the scene and one that truly treats it's 'gardeners' as they are known as valued members of a rather unlikely society, a society that springs up once a year to provide a weekend of genuine professional escapism and the real unexpected luxury of truly getting away from it all. The event has been running for some 13 years and is presided over by the head gardener Freddie Fellowes who's vision has transformed the family farm into something of a haven for all those seeking escapism in an environment that screams freedom from the overwhelmingly commercial, prescribed levels of what we are all supposed to find engaging in today's vastly overhyped events, events that tell us in no uncertain terms what we are all supposed to believe in and subscribe to.
SGP is the sort of event that could only be dreamed up by someone who has a deep understanding about human nature, life and the issues we all have to deal with every day, this is someone who knows just what is needed to soothe and rejuvenate the soul, therefore SGP is most certainly a festival of experience and it offers more than you could hope for on so many levels.
You will most certainly be surprised at SGP, conversely you will not be surprised, this purpose built festival site has been carefully crafted to allow a wealth of activities to be spread-eagled around, allowing you to be free to wander, discover and revel in the sheer mystique of it all, it's more thoughtful than most and the attention to detail will make you smile while also making you think and ponder. It's meticulous while at the same time giving the initial impression that things have just been thrown together, in essence it's very, very clever.
This is the sort of site that could only have been put together by serious party goers for serious party goers, there's places to go raving mad, places to play, places to get naked, places to eat, places to sit and ponder, places to meet and chat, places to just sit and think and, with their support for CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably), there's even paces to get help and support if needed, nothing seems to be overlooked yet nothing is forced upon you, it's there for you if you want it but it isn't rammed down your throat, you make your own choices.
So much has been made about the hedonistic and bohemian nature of SGP, and yes, it is all that, but not to see beyond the obvious is to miss the point at this one, SGP doesn't follow the herd, it doesn't even set the agenda, SGP is a law unto itself and it's one that will not be pigeonholed, tamed or forced to comply, SGP is a true one off in the sense that it is driven by a genuine desire to promote an ethos and morality that's so often missing these days, it's all about living life to the full but not forgetting that everyone else around you is part of the experience too. That level of deep understanding has, through the 13 years that SGP has been going has clearly rubbed off on the crowd it attracts, and we're not talking in a 'hippy-trippy, peace and love' type of way it's a deeper kind of caring which is more about tolerance, compassion, acceptance and recognition, you are at once the centre of the universe and yet you are only one small part of a much bigger whole, the gardeners truly get this concept.
And so it was for 2015, the theme of Childish Things was embraced fully as the heavens opened on the Friday and the rain was utterly relentless, this had the effect of encouraging a sea of mud pies as the normal activities are put on hold and water became the overarching theme, so it's a day of puddles and pools, brolly's and ponchos with much slithering and sliding evident around the site, nothing that the weather could throw at them would dampen the spirits of the gardeners at SGP, yes, there was a lot of huddling under what shelter could be found but there was fun, games and a full embracing of what was on offer, and on offer was, as always, an awful lot.
One of the great joys of SGP is their booking policy, they are adventurous, very adventurous and that is another factor in their ability to provide a genuinely different festival experience, SGP do not have to rely on booking the obvious to sell their tickets, instead they bring a thoughtfully and carefully crafted raft of acts that are a step away from the commercial events, this means that the acts fit in with the festival ethos hand in glove. That's not to say you won't get some top acts at SGP, you'll get some top acts among a mix of very engaging and unusual offerings not found at mainstream festivals.
Sometimes it gets a bit chaotic with bands not playing to time so it's hard to plan, but again this is just one of the many joys as it leaves you free to uncover something different that you might not have seen before. Shamelessly non-commercial in all aspects including the music, SGP seem to effortlessly engage and encompass everyone who becomes part of this crazy family.
We caught some fabulous acts and Friday highlights came with a phenomenal set from Jack Garratt, a young multi-instrumentalist who has been writing music since he was just 12 and manages to produce far more sound than you could think possible for one lone musician.
Kate Tempest is another engaging act that whose ability to make the ordinary extraordinary is unparallel; she truly is our high priestess of wordery and worked her magic at SGP effortlessly.
Lianne La Havas has a rather unique and beautiful voice, quite addictive once you start to listen to her beautifully crafted songs, a singer who won't be pigeonholed and who is more than capable of beautiful poetic musings whilst making it totally accessible, a very soulful, insightful and enchanting set.
Darwin Deez played on the wonderful Where the Wild Things Are stage but seemed to be a tad more subdued than usual, it may have been that relentless rain!
Other highlights we caught during the day included some intensely good sets from Black Honey, Cut Capers, Danny and the Champions of the World, F.u.r.s., Public Service Broadcasting, Racing Glaciers, Say Lou Lou, The Magic Gang and a host of quality dance acts.
The main stage was closed with a stunning set from Jungle, a band who are really gaining ground, this headline slot gave the band a chance to show just how far they have come and just how much they have to offer. Polished, professional, fabulous falsetto vocals, funky, appealing and without doubt making the crowd to forget about the weather, Jungle ticked all the boxes and then some!
Mercifully the rain gave way on the Saturday and we got treated to some pretty impressive music from the likes of Croox, Dungeon Meat, Elder Island, Fickle Friends, Honne, Ibeyi, Iyes, Josef Salvat, Luca Cazal, Waze & Odyssey and many more.
Specific stand outs came from Temples who make psychedelia accessible, cool and modern yet taking you back to the heady days when the summer of love was de rigueur, these guys have a modern twist on all things and flirt within the genre in a kind of counter-culture manner, a great band who deserve to be very much on the radar.
Another trip down memory lane came in the form of brother and sister band Angus & Julia Stone, this Australian brother-and-sister duo zap you right back into the sixties hey day of laid back, folky musings yet at the same time quite forward thinking, ultimately really rather quirky.
The traditional and somewhat exceptional firework display was executed to perfection and drew just about everyone to the main arena as it always does, this time the boat was not burnt with the fireworks but the cinema screen was torched instead. This annual display provides a unification and joyful aspect to this event and somehow seems to epitomise what SGP all about.
Closing the main stage were The Cat Empire, a six-piece funk fusion band from Australia, a band truly built for good times and heaps of fun, mixing rock, reggae, funk and jazz, a sizzling performance from a very tight band, following the firework display this seemed a perfect closure to the days main stage festivities.
There was so much more going on around the site over the weekend and as always it simply takes your breath away. For a more in-depth review on just how much this festival has to offer see our 2013 review.
Aside from the wealth of events and entertainment on offer the food was impressive and reasonably priced, lots of choice and options available to satisfy even the most discerning palate.
The centrepiece on the lake this year was a tugboat in the form of a bath toy, also very much in evidence was a gigantic pair of taps spouting water, in and of themselves these were pretty spectacular but at SGP they are just part of a hugely unique, extravagant and elaborate site scattered with spectacular detail.
Once again there was just so much going on around the site that any review can only give you a tiny taste of what is on offer, and no review can ever really do justice to this event, the thing about The Secret Garden Party is that it is all about the experience.
We have no hesitation in saying that this festival ranks up there as one of the greats and we are so fortunate to have an event of this calibre on the festival circuit, it's quite unique, ingenious and totally engrossing, offering something quite different to the usual array, that's not to say that there aren't other good festivals out there, it's just that The Secret Garden Party is utterly brilliant and quite faultless in every respect.
A little walk on the wild side - The Secret Garden Party is truly a touch of class.

Why do they add these nice new features, then drop the sensor back down to 24MP??? Is the Sony corporate culture programmed to always earn a B+, never an A?
Because only dummies still run the MP-race?
How many lenses do you own that really are capable of resolving 36MP?

I am mostly interested in whether single AF acquisition is better. Also low light use, it went from EV 0 on A7 to EV (-1) on A7 II, is it slightly better in low light?? Also, Is shutter sound same as on A7 or quieter?
Absolutic, maybe, you should try a different technique then?
zsedcft: Still a couple of generations from fully baked. OSS is huge, but when it gets a 50MP+ sensor, 2 fast SD slots and autofocus that can keep up with a DSLR, it will be a Nikon Dx00 killer. Card failures are rare, but I just can't afford to loose hundreds of photos because there is no redundancy. Until they fix that, this camera is going to be a hard sell for professionals. Also, why no 4k?
Second card slot, ok, but what kind of professional needs 50MP+?
alexzn: Roby- don't pay attention to people deriding your picture. It's really good and some portion of the people on DOR are jealous, prudish, or both to the point that the only thing that satisfies them are picture of cats or garden flowers. You can find them also discussing rendering of green tones in the latest obscure Raw converter. In truth they should never come near a decent camera because it will be a waste of good equipment.
#1 image is soft core? Really??? Get a life, people, you have no idea what soft core is... Now go back to cat pictures...
Oh, yeah, and to people saying that these photos are all bad- show me what you've got...it's easy to dump on other people s work behind a screen name.
You misunderstood: It is you, who is insecure. You are so disturbed by this image, that you feel the need to call it "sexualized". There's no need to enjoy this image "privately", as it is totally fine for public viewing.
How many times more are you going to miss the point, that this picture is totally appropriate for this site?
You won't succeed in imposing your odd point of view on the visitors of this forum.

"is a highly sexualized image"
No, it's not.
Maybe, you should ask your wife, if you still feel insecure about it.
And don't be afraid, she will not accuse you of looking at soft porn.
You really seem to have an issue with this from my perspective, but I accept that you have different standards on depicting women.
And btw: There's nothing to defend for me. If I want to look at porn, I simply do it. My wife is smart enough to handle this. ;-)
Don't know where you live, but in Europe a cleavage like this is not considered "softporn" - even in an office.
Had you called the pose "sexy", then I could agree, although I consider it more "relaxed" than sexy.
And even if it was "nude photography", why should it not be on a site about photography?
Softporn? You have a very strong imagination!
I see a beautiful young woman in a fashionable, low cut blouse.
She could even wear it in an office without problems.
There is nothing falling out as there is only a hint of curves visible. Nice pic and totally adequate for this site, imo.
Very sad.
I have a motor-zoom flash unit from Metz that I bought for my Olympus C-5050 in the year 2003. Together with an adapter it gave me true TTL capability.
It still works like new.
Just a Photographer: Its not going that well with 4/3 at the moment.
Hope they'll be able to come up with a game changer.
Many people looking for a small system are now looking towards Fuji due to their APS sensor, retro look and more or less same weight and AF performance.
The Fujis have excellent lenses, too, but they are larger and heavier. Their handling can also be quite irritating. Their sensors show very little noise but are not as sharp as m43.
As a system I'd still take m43, because it offers much more flexibility.
Stephen Scharf: I really don't understand the comment about the E-M5 appearing dated. It was and is a terrific camera, and still has a higher engineering specification than the E-M10, so I don't get where the "dated" view comes from.
I have nothing whatever against companies upgrading their model lineups, but I think back to the original and legendary OM-1, and that camera was in production unchanged for the better part of a decade. It still superbly fulfilled it's design specification.
Stephen, the author probably doesn't understand it either.
She writes up a few news for dpreview, but does not seem to have a deep enough knowledge for judging such a camera.
ChuckTa: Wow, esp the one with Mrs Britton and 150mm f2.8, that is one of the best looking bokeh I have see in an AF lens. Mrs Britton should be very happy.
It looks like the NX1 with 50-150 f2.8 will be excellent for portrait photography.
@Barney: This can change quicker than you might think... :-)
art99: OK, so the photos are sharp as expected in mostly sunlight at ISO 100 , but how about a few at ISO 6400 to 12,800 for a change in a dark venue at F2.8 ? After all it boasts a BSI sensor so let's see what that can do in the dark like evening street scenes or wedding venues.
... says someone who can't even read an article.
toomanycanons: Yikes, $1300 for the "kit" lens. It better be pretty darn good!
Try to find such a 'kit lens' from any other brand!
justmeMN: Technical merit aside, in the US, Samsung has a brand problem. $2,799.00 for an off-brand camera? Good luck with that.
Justme, you are probably right, but this is a problem of US consumers: Their uncritical brand loyalty makes them blind to quality.
Very hard for a company to change this and low pricing alone will not do or can even be counterproductive.
Donnie G: I was convinced that I wasn't among the consumers that Canon's G7 X was made for because I have never been interested in owning any compact camera. Boy was I wrong. Although I have no interest in owning compact cameras, my teens are very interested in the category, and I am their "deep pockets". So I wound up buying 2 G7 X cameras, one for him and one for her. Between the 2 of them, they were able to setup the cameras without any input from "the broke old guy". After about 10 days, my gorgeous gal pal, Brandi, and I were able to decipher enough teen slang to learn that the camera features they worship the most are the programable click wheel around the lens collar, the articulated touch screen, and the ability to upload images to social media via Canon's Image Gateway service. I don't think that these kids are even aware of the other features, such as sensor size, lens speed, focal length, or even IQ. It takes better photos than their smartphones and their friends think its cool. :)
Carta, this is the problem with teenagers: they are not smart enough for sensible buying decisions and yet you have to fund them as parents. :-)
mcolvin1: For $598, I could buy the Sony a5100, which from reviews I have read at other sites, is probably a better camera (APS-C sensor, 24 mp, touch screen, very fast auto focus, etc.) It is only slightly larger than the Canon G7 X (with the kit lens). Better lenses can be added later. DPR has yet to do its review. I am hoping that it will get a high rating. If so, that will be the one I will buy. Its image quality is supposed to be as good as the Sony a6000, which has excellent IQ. But it is small enough to fit in a fanny pack and carry all the time. After reading DPR's review of the G7 X, it is no longer on my list. Why pay more for it when it is probably not as good as the a5100?
Mcolvin1, both cameras have nothing in common. If size is not your priority, why look at the Canon at all?
Michael_13: Canon probably should have also bought the image processor from Sony. It really is a shame that they were unable to give it proper performance.
My post is not about IQ, dude.

Links for a Sunday Morning
How Do You Know You're a Woman? – NY Mag
It's no coincidence that the colleague who asked [this question] is transgender. Her point was to push a variety of women to answer a question that she'd been asked countless times.
Millenials who are thriving financially have one thing in common – The Atlantic
Millennials who are lucky enough to have some, or all, of a college tuition's burden reduced by their parents have a leg up on peers who are saddled with student debt, and they'll be able to more quickly move out on their own, and maybe even buy their own house. And that matters a lot in the long run.
Living on tree-lined streets has health benefits, study finds – The Toronto Star
"I would love for the city to look at these results and say, in addition to dealing with all the other systemic issues that have to be looked at, what if we start thinking about reforesting these neighbourhoods."
This is how sand looks magnified up to 300x – Bored Panda
Comparing something to a grain of sand is usually supposed to mean that it's small or insignificant, but Dr. Gary Greenberg's microscopic photography aims to turn this stereotype on its head.
What an open marriage taught me about feminism – NY Mag
What surprises most people is when I tell them it's not the sex-with-other-men that bothers me. The sex is the easy part, the fun part. It's what the sex connects to, stands for, reveals that can be difficult.
Science weighs in on high heels – NY Times
The ratio of strength between the muscles on the sides of the ankles and those at the front and back became increasingly unbalanced over years of wearing heels, contributing to ankle instability and balance problems and eventually to a decline in the strength.
Windsor women trail behind men in quality of life – Windsor Star
Despite women being more likely than men to complete high school, college or university in Windsor, they are less likely to find jobs. Windsor women earn 77 cents for every dollar their male counterparts earn. Twenty-four per cent of women in Windsor are living below the Low Income Measure compared to 15 per cent of men.
Blame the Banks (long read) – The Atlantic
The narrative of southern borrowers as the victims of only their own incompetence, sloth, and greed was further encouraged and politicized by passing any future losses from Greece onto the European public, mostly the northern European public, encouraging an us-versus-them mentality. It was policy dressed in nationalism: the antithesis of everything the common currency was supposed to stand for.
Lululemon Diaries: My Life in an Exploitative Libertarian Happiness Cult – Jezebel
Lululemon is all about ideals. The man and woman Lululemon designs for and creates marketing for is called our "muse": the man is called Duke, and the woman is called Ocean. Anything you do, you appeal to that ideal, imaginary muse. Ocean makes six figures, she doesn't want to have kids, she has a master's degree, her core workout is yoga and she also likes running and spinning. The whole idea is that your guest is never going to actually be Ocean. It's aspirational. They can try, but they'll never be.
The Myth of Big, Bad Gluten – NY Times
The modern immune system appears to have gone on the fritz. Maybe we should stop asking what's wrong with wheat, and begin asking what's wrong with us.
You May Be Getting More Sleep Than You Think – Wall Street Journal
There are many theories about the disconnect between subjective and objective sleep. Some studies suggest that worry is linked to a misperception of sleep. Also, some research has revealed that people with insomnia have more high-frequency brain waves—ones that are usually associated with wakefulness—while they are sleeping.
The Captivity of Motherhood – The Atlantic
What kind of choice is it when your career as an attorney or investment banker demands that you stay at the office 60 hours a week or opt out of the workforce altogether? When a husband's significant income gives a woman the "luxury" to stay home with her children, she'll often feel compelled to choose that option.

Last summer, when Earthlink pulled the plug on plans to build a citywide Wi-Fi network in San Francisco, it looked like only those with the money to pay for high-speed Internet access (or with a decent laptop and a good map of free hotspots) would be able to get it.
Such bad things should happen more often.
To bridge the gap, earlier this week, the Internet Archive, a San Francisco-based nonprofit organization, began offering free Internet service to a number of public housing projects where the Internet will be piped in at speeds far greater than most high-speed systems provide.
The first project to be connected is Valencia Gardens in the city's Mission District, with 260 units. It is now up and running in a pilot project. The project expects to wire more than 2,500 units in the city over the next 8 to 10 months, said Brewster Kahle, the founder of the Internet Archive, which is best known for its digital archiving work.
The apartments are connected to the Internet at 100 megabits a second, a speed that contrasts sharply with the normal high-speed Internet service offered by telephone and cable companies, which is usually less than 6 megabits a second.
Mr. Kahle said the Internet Archive had achieved such high speed by working with the city of San Francisco to connect the city's municipal fiber-optic network, which runs through the public housing developments, to an Internet Archive switching center, which in turn, connects to the Internet.
"We are pleased to be the first nonprofit organization to bring public housing online," Mr. Kahle said. "We are excited to see much faster access to the Internet as a way to experiment with advanced applications, and are pleased that the underserved get first access to advanced technology."

I don't see any thing on the forum about the missing hunter in New Hampshire.
He went into the woods a week ago and was never heard from again.
Today they called of the search.
I can only guess what happened. He is a accomplished outdoors men and survivalist.
It started snowing the day he went out and has snowed on and off since. I was out in the woods the same time, but in Vermont and it has been very cold and snowy.
Lets hope something good happens with this.

Bench helps Celts fend off SunsJan 10, 2013 - 5:40 AM Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Jeff Green, Jared Sullinger and the rest of the Boston Celtics' bench helped fend off the Phoenix Suns in an 87-79 victory on Wednesday.
Green scored 14 points, Sullinger recorded a double-double with 12 points and 16 rebounds and fellow reserve Jason Terry netted 13 points in Boston's fourth straight victory.
"All those guys are playing very well together," Celtics head coach Doc Rivers said of his bench. "It's nice when you can have a night when your starters aren't great and your bench wins a game for you."
The Celtics' bench outscored their starters (47-40), as Kevin Garnett's 10- point effort paced the starting five.
Luis Scola led Phoenix with 16 points, while Jared Dudley added 14 points and 10 rebounds in the club's 11th straight road loss.
"Obviously it's difficult to win on the road in the NBA," Suns head coach Alvin Gentry said. "We've got to dig ourselves out of this. And no one feels sorry for you in the NBA. So it's got to be us with the execution, and us completing the plays, and us doing the right things."
The Suns, losers of four straight overall, erased their double-digit halftime deficit in a little over six minutes, but their slim lead only lasted several possessions and they trailed, 67-64, entering the fourth.
The final 12 minutes was all Celtics, as Terry nailed a 3-pointer to ignite a quarter-opening 11-2 run.
Scola's free throw with 1:53 remaining pulled Phoenix within 82-76, but Sullinger hit a runner and Terry scored in transition off a nice pass from Rajon Rondo to push the margin back to double digits with a minute to play.
Phoenix wound up shooting 3-of-18 (17 percent) in the fourth quarter and were outscored by 10 in the paint after holding a 46-32 on the inside coming into the home stretch.
The Celtics trailed 24-23 after the first quarter, but sped out to a 12-point lead behind a 14-2 run midway through the second. Green threw down a pair of dunks during the spurt and Avery Bradley drained a jumper to end it for a 47-35 lead with 4:25 left in the half.
It was a 55-41 margin when Garnett opened the second-half scoring with a fadeaway, but the Suns rattled off the next 17 points behind solid interior play to jump back in front.
Rondo and Paul Pierce stopped the rally with buckets on consecutive possessions, and the Suns never held the lead again.
Game Notes
The Suns are still one win shy of earning the 2,000th victory in franchise history ... The Suns's last road victory came on Nov. 27 at Cleveland ... Rondo, who was coming off a one-game suspension, logged eight points and eight assists ... Pierce scored just seven points on 3-of-10 shooting for Boston, which had lost four of their previous five to the Suns.
