Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/4/2013 (1578 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
On a late November evening in 1877, the distinctive clip-clop, clip-clop of horses' hooves would pierce through Winnipeg's cold autumn air. The setting sun outlined the silhouette of an overloaded stagecoach staggering along the sharp prairie horizon. Curious onlookers were drawn by the moan of rigid wheels struggling to navigate the city's dusty Main Street. Unfamiliar sounds of foreign voices came from within the American caravan transporting the first three Chinese settlers to the isolated town of 6,500 people.
Charley Yam, the leader of the three, would soon open the city's first Chinese laundry on Post Office Street (now Lombard Avenue). Three months later, demanding better living conditions, his employees would stage an armed revolt. The 'Chinese War' would captivate readers of the Manitoba Free Press, which announced the end of the week-long standoff with the simple message, "Two Chinese laundries are now in operation in this city." Six more would open over the next eight years.
In 1905, the Quong Chong Tai Company opened a grocery at 249 King St., forming the genesis of Winnipeg's Chinatown. In the next year, another grocery and four laundries would open and by 1909 the neighbourhood would take on a distinctive exotic flavour.
Facing significant linguistic and cultural barriers, economic hardship and racial discrimination, early Chinese settlers would band together by isolating themselves on inexpensive land at the fringes of city centres across the country. In search of security, social networks and community support, this voluntary residential segregation would result in the birth of Chinatowns in many Canadian cities.
Winnipeg's Chinatown would reach its zenith in the 1920s, covering six city blocks with King Street as its main commercial artery. With 900 Chinese residents and 300 laundries across the city, the pulsating sidewalks and pungent smells of Chinatown served as the commercial and social focal point of a vibrant community. The area's original wooden structures were replaced with two- and three-storey brick buildings, typically with small-scale commercial storefronts along the sidewalk and residential suites, often for employees in the floors above.
In 1923, the federal government would introduce the Exclusion Act, virtually terminating Chinese immigration to Canada. This resulted in the eventual economic stagnation and physical decline of Chinatown neighbourhoods across the country. By 1938, only 125 Chinese laundries remained in Winnipeg. Many of Chinatown's shops and restaurants began to close as the area fell into decay.
In 1974, architect Gustavo da Roza was commissioned to develop a Chinatown revitalization plan. Typical of the era, the scheme called for a clean-slate redevelopment strategy with the gradual demolition of the entire area, to be replaced with an enclosed shopping mall, recreation space and housing. The grand plan never gained traction but the ideal of top-down, mega-project urban-renewal strategies has lived on ever since.
Like any successful urban neighbourhood, Chinatown's physical character inspired much of its historic vibrancy and street life. Small-scale storefronts created commercial diversity, economic opportunity and intimate, pedestrian-focused streetscapes. Low-rise, mixed-use buildings provided population density and visual connection to the sidewalks.
Chinatown's redevelopment initiatives, past and present, have generally disregarded this traditional neighbourhood character, choosing to focus on large-scale institutional buildings or suburban-style residential highrise projects that are disengaged from the sidewalk and offer little commercial activity or pedestrian vibrancy. These projects have severed the traditional economic and social networks of the neighbourhood, resulting in empty sidewalks, struggling businesses and further proliferation of surface parking lots.
The empty lot on the former site of the Coronation Block, home to the historic Shanghai Restaurant, sits as a poignant reminder of the clean-slate renewal strategies that have been promoted in the area for four decades. With second-floor residential units above a series of small-scale, low-rent commercial storefronts, the building had an ideal configuration to promote organic, ground-up neighbourhood growth and small-business opportunity, but it was demolished last year in hopes one day an assisted-living complex will be built on the site.
After almost 70 years in operation, Shanghai owner Henry Lee sadly closed his iconic restaurant, unable to convince the younger members of his family to be the fifth generation to run the business. Tiffany Leong, one of those young family members with dreams of her own, recently completed her master's degree in architecture at the University of Manitoba.
For her thesis project, she took on the unique personal challenge of investigating opportunities for the site of her great-grandfather's restaurant and the neighbourhood that has been so much a part of their lives.
Leong's project envisions an urban marketplace that restores the historic social and commercial networks of the neighbourhood's past, while providing a modern platform from which a new kind of Chinatown can blossom. Her sensitive, human scale architecture explores ways of re-engaging what once made Chinatown a vibrant urban neighbourhood.
To promote pedestrian activity, her scheme implements a strong sidewalk edge, while creating a welcoming transparency and porosity in the building faßade by incorporating a unique system of awnings, louvres, pocket doors and folding partitions that allow interior spaces to spill open to the sidewalk and an exterior marketplace beyond.
Her small-scale intervention reestablishes Chinatown's traditional mixed-use building configuration with second-storey apartments above street-level shops, accessed through a series of catwalks, intermediate floors and external staircases.
The composition of private and public spaces recaptures the spirit of traditional Chinatown neighbourhoods with intimate hidden spaces and small passageways.
An architectural expression that references traditional Chinese paper art, similar to origami, folds outward into a dramatic roof form, seen as a characteristic element that could proliferate across the empty parking lots of the neighbourhood, unifying new buildings in the district with a signature modern expression.
As Winnipeg's Chinatown continues to redevelop, the lessons of Leong's thesis exploration might provide an inspiring template for future efforts. By moving away from the ideals of mega-project renewal schemes and focusing on design principles that inform strong urban communities, she exposes the importance of embracing fine-grain, street friendly development that facilitates a vibrant street life. Her work re-engages the area's commercial past by providing a range of economic opportunities for its inhabitants, including those immigrants from across the globe who are new to our city and face the same fears and challenges Charley and his two friends did on that stagecoach 136 years ago.

I like ice cream - a lot and when offered the chance to try Haagen Daaz Cookies and Cream wasn't going to say no. I'm not usually a Haagen Daaz fan so it's unusual I would choose this. The ice cream is nice and creamy and tastes rich - the kind of icecream you know is made with proper cream. The cookie pieces however I found disappointing - they are so small it's difficult to get a good idea of their flavour. While you can taste the cookies it's a very sandy texture that I didn't find particularly pleasant in my mouth. I had a small 100ml tub which was plenty and it came with a handy plastic spoon which is inside the tub. For a quick treat it's ideal but I wouldn't be rushing back for more. If you really want cookie ice cream i'd go for Ben and Jerrys rather than this.
I love ice cream, and I am really into good quality (and usually, expensive) ice cream. I very often look out for offers in my local supermarket and recently I bought Haagen Dazs Cookies & Cream. I have never tried it before and I thought that cookies and cream sounded quite tempting so I gave it a go.
It comes in standard, 500 ml (or 100 ml, if you know you won't be able to stop yourself from eating the entire big one in a short period of time - I guess I should try it!) cardboard tub which is mostly red and has pictures of cookies with cream on the front. It also has a golden plastic lid, and underneath that a layer of something that looks like thick cling film.
The ice cream has a white colour and at first sight, you can see a lot of black bits and bobs in it. These are cookies. The ice cream is extremely rich, creamy and smooth. It isn't overly sweet and has a rather delicate taste. It is basically a very good quality vanilla ice cream. I do, however, think that they should change the name from 'Cookies & Cream' to 'Cream & Cookies' as there is definitely more cream than cookies. The cookies are dark & very nice. There are in quite small pieces and they aren't too hard so you won't break your teeth on them.
There is obviously one big disadvantage - calories. One serving of 100 g will provide you with 262 kcal and 17 g of fat which I personally think is quite a lot. Another thing that really puts me off is the price - one tub of 500 ml costs around £4.00 whereas 100 ml container can be bought for around £1.50.
I think in the brand name ice cream stakes the majority of people fit into one of two camps either Ben and Jerrys or Haagen Dazs. I am a Ben and Jerrys fan but I do like from time to time assessing the competition and so treat myself to a tub of Haagen Dazs ice cream. One of my favourite flavours is Cookies and Cream as I do like both chocolate and ice cream with bits in.
Haagen Dazs ice cream comes in distinctive and fairly classy maroon, gold and white tubs with a little picture indicating the flavour on the front. The cookies and cream tub is graced with a picture of two cookies looking very reminiscent of Oreos.
When you open the tub you are greeted by a dark cream ice cream heavily sprinkled with chocolate cookies. The pieces vary in size from little crumbs to small chunks. Even after a day in the freezer (ice cream doesn't hang around long in my house!) the ice cream is soft enough to be enjoyed straight away. The base ice cream is a sweet cream ice cream rather than a vanilla ice cream. This means that with your first mouthful you are first hit by the sweet creamy taste of the ice cream with the texture of soft cookie pieces. I think the cookie pieces are there to temper the sweetness of the ice cream but the chocolate flavour isn't very dominant. In my opinion I think the ice cream would be even better if it was a little less sweet and you could actually taste the cookie pieces but I do enjoy the actual taste.
I make my own ice cream from time to time partly because I like to know exactly what's in it (bear with me I am going somewhere with this) so out of interest I thought I'd check what was in this ice cream. And was pleasantly surprised to find that there are no nasty additives or unexpected ingredients. However bear in mind that this is not a low fat or health conscious product so it is liberally packed with calories, fat and I'd have thought sugar too although that isn't listed on the nutritional panel on my latest tub.
Haagen Dazs ice creams are available in two tub sizes 500ml for just under £4 and, to ensure you don't have to share your tub, a 100ml tub for just over £1.
Cookies and cream is a quality luxury ice cream, ideal for those days when you want a simple flavoured well made ice cream.
Haagen Dazs Ice Cream is brilliant, and this continues this trend. It has the same great taste and the high level of quality that Haagen Dazs is known for.. However, it is very expensive, and also hard to take out of the container, which can ruin it for some people.
The packaging is very nice and colourful. However, all of the Haagen Dazs packaging looks the same, making it hard to find the one you want amongst them all, but this might get you to try new flavours. It does a good job as the ice cream is always fresh. It is also very easy to read, with big clear text. The packaging is very easy to open and easy to close after you are finished.
When you open the container, a sweet smell drifts into your nose. The ice cream is packed tightly, making ti very hard to remove, into your bowl. This can sometimes ruin the experience, as you want to just eat the ice cream quickly when your taste buds want it. As soon as you put it in your mouth, a nice creamy vanilla taste melts in your mouth. This is very soft, and you are then hit by a great opposing texture, crunchy cookie pieces. Then, a crunchy piece of cookie, creates the ultimate flavour. This is very creamy and just like a milkshake.
The product is very addicting, and you will find it very easy to eat all of it up in one sitting.
The product's quality is high, just like other Haagen Dazs products. It has the same great taste all the time. There is a lot of cookie pieces, and they are very big. The ingredients seem to be very high quality, as they look and taste very good.
There is also some disadvantages. These include being very expensive, but it is worth it with the high quality, and it is very hard to remove from the container.
Overall, another brilliant product from Haagen Dazs. It has great flavours, a mixture of textures that work together very well and a very high quality but is very expensive and hard to remove from the container.
You know a good ice cream when you taste Haagen Daz ice cream. Haagen Dazs, a german ice cream comes with many flavours, such as macademia, peppermint, double chocolate but my favourite is cookies and cream.
What is so special about Haagen Dazs ice cream? Well, its very creamy to say the least. Yet it wouldn't make you feel sick when you have too much. Haagen Dazs ice cream isn't very sweet too.
I think the cookies in Haagen Dazs is Oreo biscuits. Though the ice cream base is vanilla, the sweetness and crunchiness of the cookies blends very nicely with the vanilla flavour. The combination is simply divine.
Some part of the chocolate cookies have dissolved into the ice cream, creating a chocolatey effect within the vanilla flavour, whereas the cookies crumbs gives a different sensation to the tastebuds.
Cookies and cream is by far one of the best flavour from Haagen Dazs.
I purchased Haagen Dazs Cookies & Cream on the mistaken pretence that it was chocolate icecream. To open it and find it to be vanilla was an immdiate disappointment. I very rarely consume icecream so when I do I always opt for one of my favourite flavours - either chocolat, mint choc chip or rum and raisin.
As I'd spent money on this, I thought I might as well try it out. It tasted OK at first although my first thought was that it was too expensive for what it was. After a few spoons I felt so sick because it's excessively creamy and rich.
Maybe people who have a preference for vanilla icecream would enjoy this more as I admit I don't like that flavour much anyway. Having said that, this was probably the worst vanilla icecream I've ever tasted.
My disappointment turned to being annoyed when I discovered the icecream was leaking through a hole in the base of the pot as it melted.
As part of a Sainsburys promotion on Haagen Dazs we bought a tub of Cookies & Cream ice cream last week. The promotional price is 2 tubs for £5 but usually this costs £3.99 for a 500ml tub. I know that sounds like a lot but this is well worth it.
Firstly you need to leave the ice cream out to thaw for about half an hour before you can eat it (or even serve it) as it's a very dense ice cream that freezes solidly. Once it's ready for eating, this serves up nicely though beware that the cookie chunks can get in the way of your spoon a bit when you're dishing this up.
The texture of this is really amazing. It's like the creamiest vanilla ice cream you could imagine. It's soft and smooth and just melts in your mouth. This is definitely only for cream fans this one as it really couldn't be creamier. There are loads of chunks of chocolate cookies in various sizes scattered within this ice cream. It doesn't specify a brand of cookies used but if you've ever had an Oreo then that's pretty darn close to the cookies used in this ice cream. They really melt in your mouth as the ice cream softens them nicely.
I know that the standard RRP of this ice cream is quite high but as a treat this is well worth every penny. The taste is to die for and the texture is really interesting and well blended. There's enough here to serve two to four people. The Mrs and I polished this off between us in under half an hour though!
'The ultimate ice cream to satisfy the milk-and-cookies kid in all of us. The smoothest, creamiest most delicious vanilla ice cream imaginable with just a hint of naughtiness interspersed with your favourite chocolate cookies'.
What can I say about Häagen-Dazs Ice-Cream?! - Well apart from the Organic, Vanilla Green and Blacks which is pretty good, it has got to be my most favourite Ice-Cream ever. It certainly isn't cheap, but it does have the most exquisite flavour that I have ever come across within the Ice-Cream brands. Häagen Dazs Vanilla Ice-Cream in my very favourite flavour, you can really taste the pure vanilla and it seems a shame to add any form of sauce or fruit which only masks the unique flavouring of this Ice-Cream.
When Vanilla Häagen -Dazs is unavailable in the shops, which is quite often actually, they seem to sell out of this one quite quickly, I will happily settle for the 'Cookies & Cream' flavour as my next choice for second best. The main reason that I like this one is that it is composed mainly of their vanilla Ice-Cream, having just the addition of small pieces of the tasty dark cookie interspersed throughout the tub of Vanilla Ice-Cream.
Around since the 1920's Häagen -Dazs started its life in the Bronx, New York, offering three flavour only, of: Chocolate, Vanilla, and Coffee. The young creator of Häagen -Dazs insisted on only using the purest and finest ingredients to ensure a superior tasting Ice-cream, that was the very best that it could possibly be. The range has certainly extended itself now and offers many delicious and enticing flavours and on their Website at the moment they are advertising their new limited edition of Raspberry and Meringue Ice-Cream which sounds absolutely gorgeous to me, being a big fan of both those ingredients.
Häagen -Dazs 'Cookies & Cream' Ice-Cream is supplied in a high rounded, lidded carton. The weight is 500ml/415g. The carton looks of a good quality as if care has gone into the design and materials used for said carton. It is a deep red in colouring with detail picked out in white and gold. To the front there is a picture of some dark coloured cookies with white cream filling, and these look a little like 'Oreos' cookies in appearance, and this shows us the colour of the cookie pieces that you will come across within the Ice-Cream. There is a Harrods green slash across the top of the carton which states that this brand of Ice-Cream is in fact the 'Choice of Wimbledon'. (It's my choice too : ) So Wimbledon loves Häagen -Dazs too and it is the official Ice-Cream to the tennis players and spectators at the Tennis Tournaments which are played during the summer. According to the Häagen -Dazs carton: "Glorious summer days, Cookies & Cream and catching all the action on the centre court.....Nothing quite awakens that summertime feeling quite like the excitement of Wimbledon" and then they go on to say how well Häagen -Dazs compliments the experience that is Wimbledon. All other Ingredients and nutritional information are all listed to the reverse of the carton also.-
The luxurious maroon and gold carton is well sealed inside with a tear off vacuum strip which covers the top of the ice-cream. Once inside the tub you immediately smell the gorgeous scent of the real vanilla in the ice-cream. The vanilla was originally imported from Madagascar, known for its supreme quality bean. The marriage of 37% pure fresh cream and prime quality natural vanilla with exotic spices gives Häagen -Dazs its unmistakable intense flavour. I absolutely adore the flavour of this and can quite happily polish off a 500ml size straight from the tub with just a spoon. The taste experience is second to none and the ice-cream really is absolutely divine.
The quality of Häagen -Dazs Ice-Cream in incomparable as far as I am concerned. Green and Blacks organic comes a close second but Häagen -Dazs really does deliver a full bodied vanilla taste that is perfect in composition. The addition of the cookies into the vanilla makes for an interesting texture difference and the almost black pieces of cookie sit intermittently amongst the delicious vanilla. They cookie doesn't dominate the ice-cream, and makes for a really nice mixture of flavours and textures. The sweet and spicy aroma of the vanilla translates well onto the taste buds and gives the most gorgeous flavour upon the palate when mixed with the cookies which have a fudge Brownie taste and composition. It's a lovely ice-cream, though I do still prefer the vanilla as it really is perfect as a singular taste.

Well I think you know what I'm going to say. I love this Häagen-Dazs Ice-Cream and I thought the cookie pieces which are quite small, complimented the wonderful vanilla ice-cream very well. The name 'Cookies & Cream' sums it up very well. With the thick luxurious pure cream based vanilla ice-cream blending beautifully with the 'Fudge Brownie' consistency of the cookie that is exactly what this variety tastes like. Beautifully decadent and indulgent, the 'Cookies and Cream' option sells itself really. At £4.50'ish normally, this doesn't come cheap, but we did manage to buy this pot for £2.65 at Tesco this week and well worth every penny I say:)
Häagen -Dazs Ice-Cream is the worlds leading, and best selling luxury Ice-Cream and UK's favourite luxury brand. That's what happens when you insist upon using the finest and purest ingredients that the world has to offer and don't cut financial corners. You end up with a product that is quite simply...The best!

It was a late night and my friend and I were both feeling ' a hole' in out stomachs.Since there was no-one else at home we decided to raid the fridge!To our dismay there was nothing edible that didn?t involve more than 2 minutes of effort on to cook!Disheartened but still determined we moved onto the freezer!Draw one, no luck.the same with draw two.We were about to give up when all of a sudden a familiar logo caught my eye!I thought it said ?Haagan Dazs? and to our delight I was right! We pulled it out as quickly as we could.We placed the unopened 500ml tub of ?Haagan Dazs cookies and cream? flavour ice-cream on the table and looked on in awe. **Background** I don?t think there?s too much to say here that you probably haven?t already heard!They are a German company that have been making ice-cream for a long time.They are often considered ?the greatest ice-cream makers ever!? **Packaging** The 500ml tub is decorated with the Haagan Dazs logo and pictures of ice-cream. There is the nutritional information on it too.The tub has a lid which when pulled off (usually comes of quite easily) reveals a plastic cover (with the Haagan Dazs logo of course!).This must be pulled off in order to get to the ice-cream.Although it seems quite basic and easy I have often struggled with this plastic covering!Sometimes its ok but sometimes it is extremely difficult to get off! **Taste** The ice-cream consists of a vanilla ice-cream (the cream part) which is bombarded with pieces of what appear to be oreo cookies!The smooth vanilla taste comes through superbly.the cookies are soft and chewy and have a wonderful chocolate taste.When these too are combined the taste is magnificent!When you taste this ice-cream you are taken to a different level and other ice-creams no longer seem as good! **Price** A 500ml tub costs about £3.25!this is extremely expensive when compared to other ice-creams!But it isn?t
just any other ice-cream is it? **Ingredients and allergies** for ingredients just look on the side of the tub but what I would like to say here is that they contain a LOT of calories!They are lovely though! **Conclusion** This ice-cream is indeed exquisite and tastes amazing.I certainly recommend you give it a try!It may be pricey (and leave a hole in your pocket!) and it may contain a lot of calories but remember: ?Pain for pleasure!?

Cookies and Cream... just thinking of the name makes my mouth start to water. I'll start by explaining my title... Just about the only time I ever eat Haagen Dazs ice-cream is when I go to the cinema, hence it is my cinema treat - and the flavour I'll opt for 9 times out of 10 is Cookies and Cream. The ice-cream is a luxury vanilla ice-cream with pieces of chocolate cookie crumbled into it. The pieces range from little crumbs to small pebble sized pieces. Haagen Dazs themselves describe this product as follows: "Finally there?s an ice cream to satisfy the milk-and-cookies kid in all of us. Pieces of your favorite chocolate cookies are dunked into delicious, creamy vanilla ice cream. It?s like coming home again" Cookies & Cream is available in two types of product, firstly there's the tub, and secondly the bar... the bar is definitely my favourite... I'll come on to that in a moment... THE TUB =========== You've probably seen Haagen Dazs tubs of ice-cream before... they range from little individual portion sized cups to flower pot sized tubs. The little cups are often available in larger supermarkets and in cinema's and video rental stores. Approximately the size of a yoghurt pot, the little cups come complete with their own mini spoon tucked away inside the lid. Generally these are priced at around £1.50, which although is expensive for the amount of ice-cream you get, is worth it if you enjoy a luxury ice-cream. The larger tubs are available in most supermarkets and prices tend to vary from around £2.99 - £4.50. THE BAR =========== The Cookies & Cream bar is like a sophisticated choc-ice on a stick! The Cookies & Cream ice-cream is surrounded by a generous helping of creamy milk chocolate containing little crunchy pieces of cookie. Haagen Dazs describe the Cookies & Cream bars as follows: Like a spring day with no homework, Häag
en-Dazs® Cookies & Cream ice cream bars are a simple pleasure. First we make our scrumptious bars by blending crispy, crunchy chocolate cookie pieces into pure, fresh cream. Then we dip the bars into a pure milk chocolate and cookie crunch coating. It?s portable perfection. The ice cream bar comes individually wrapped in a smooth plastic wrapper, which is inside its own little box. The pure fact that you have to open up the box to take out the ice-cream makes is what adds a little bit of luxury to the moment rather than opening up the soggy paper wrapper of a value brand choc-ice! The wooden stick that the ice cream bar comes on is sturdy enough to take the weight of the ice cream and is positioned sufficiently deep into the ice cream to make sure that after your first bite it doesn't wobble off the stick and end up in your lap! Slightly pricier than the individual tubs of the same ice-cream, the ice-cream bar is generally priced at around £2.00. I have only ever seen these on sale at the cinema, though I expect some supermarkets may sell them. TO CONCLUDE =============== Haagen Dazs is a pricey ice-cream when compared to the many substitutes on offer, but equally it has a luxury taste that cannot be matched by mant competitors. The Cookies & Cream ice cream excels in treating your tastebuds to a refreshing vanilla ice-cream combined with rich chocolatey cookie pieces - this ice-cream is definitely a cinema treat!
I get into habits quite easily (meaning routines, not a nun's getup) but can find some of them quite hard to break. The latest is that absolutely no trip to Blockbuster is complete without a tub of ice cream to bring home – I've been eating ice cream at cinemas for years of course, but this is something new. Despite my quite well know obsession with chocolate itself, I cannot stand ice cream that claims to resemble the brown stuff – for me it's a case of the real thing or not at all – so this limits the choice slightly. Add this to the fact that I really don't like nuts, fruit, or weird flavors, and there aren't many tubs left to choose from. Still, Cookies and Cream is one of those that my palate does deem acceptable, and so it came to pass (you can tell it's almost Christmas) that Saturday night after work, I found myself with a rapidly increasing wet patch between my legs, holding the just bought tub in my lap as we drove home. Häagen Dazs describe this flavour as "The smoothest, creamiest vanilla ice cream imaginable, with just a hint of naughtiness delivered by a dappling of dark cookie pieces." I describe it as "yum" – it might lack details, but it's concisely straight to the point. ** Ingredients ** Fresh cream skimmed milk sugar chocolate cookie pieces (5.5 % - see below) corn syrup raising agent egg yolk natural flavouring Now cream's dairy, right? And so's milk. And unless I got utterly confused in GCSE Biology, that somehow relates to calcium. Which we need to stop Osteoporosis. Which I have a slightly increased risk of (we're talking 0.001%) due to dancing and implant hormones. Which basically means that to stay healthy, I should eat as much of this as possible, right? ** Cookie Search ** The cookie content is listed as 5.5% this sounds – erm
low? High? I'm really not sure. There could be more but the suspense caused by the lower percentage adds to your eating pleasure (how poncy does that sound??) You get to the last few mouthfuls and you can't be sure there're any bits left – there could be some hiding under those creamy pale layers, but then again there might not. You dig in gingerly and, relief!, there are some pieces floating about. ** Health Info ** Unsuitable for those on gluten free diets, this pot is fine for vegetarians, although not for vegans. Per 100g Serving you get Energy Kcal - 262 Protein - 4.6g Carbohydrate - 22.6g Fat - 17 g 17% fat may sound a lot, but the way I see it, if we're sharing then my eating partner gets all the 17g of fat, and I make do with the fat content of a diet coke from my spoonfuls. Was told the other day that it doesn't work like that though – damn! ** The Taste Test ** Ah, the most important bit. Haagen Dazs is niiiiiice. Cookies and Cream is really niiiiiice. It's hard to explain – I'm a programmer not a writer - but there is an ethereal mix of silky vanilla ice cream hiding small but perfectly formed chunks of soft sweet cookie. If you let a helping linger for a moment in your mouth you can feel the vanilla seeping from the ice cream (that sounds gross, but I meant it in a nice way) and the cookie chunks soften even further, until all too sudden it all disappears down into your tummy. It's a sweet ice cream, but that still doesn't stop you eating so much. I think it took us two sessions, so eating it in quarter tub helpings if we had the same amount each – I prefer to think I only had a fraction of that but then I always am in denial. ** Price ** 500ml tub = £3.99 at Blockbuster – that's nearly 4 squid of my hard earned money, but
it is worth it. Places like Tesco and Safeway often have BOGOF offers on, or at least BOGOHP (half price) so it's worth shopping around. Let's see - £4 is nearly an hour's wage at work, or 133 reads on this place. Nuff said really. Get clicking and feed my addiction :-)
"Häagen-Dazs Cookies & Cream ice cream blends all-natural chocolate cookie chunks into a rich, creamy vanilla ice cream. Soothing in its familiarity, Häagen-Dazs Cookies & Cream ice cream delivers plenty of cookie in every spoonful."

Hard-living, hard-rocking Leeds quartet Pulled Apart By Horses are announcing their biggest UK tour to date. Rolling out during November it will include their largest London headline show so far at the HMV Forum.
"We can't wait to get out on tour again," says guitarist James Brown. "It's a sweet run of dates across the UK and finishes with a long overdue homecoming show in Leeds. We can't wait! This is going to be the shit!"
It's been an incredible year for the band. Their second album 'Tough Love' (Transgressive Records) was critically-acclaimed across the board ("Rocks like f*ck…you'll be revisiting for years to come" said the NME. "Effortlessly thrilling," said the Observer.) and stages across the UK were regularly laid to waste, climaxing in an utterly exhilarating performance at the Electric Ballroom back in February.
The band will also be releasing the single 'Bromance Ain't Dead' on July 23rd, an awesome slice of driving rock action from the 'Tough Love' album that looks certain to continue the band's strong support at the likes of Radio One, 6 Music and XFM etc.
Aside from slaying festivals across Europe this summer (including their first mainstage performance at Reading and Leeds) you can see Pulled Apart By Horses at a selection of dates in November 2012

I am seeking some advice on what to feed a 6 year old. Mine has almost sttopped eating everything!
I am out of ideas for appetizing yet nutritious meal ideas. Help!
Smoothies tend to be a hit around our house. Add some cocoa, fruit, and agave or other sweetener to make it yummy but throw in a few well-disguised greens as well.
Also, you could try experimenting with the look of certain foods. One of my friends dyes pasta with pink and blue food coloring by putting a few drops in the boiling water. In the end it comes out looking like candy and her kids eat it because they think it is a treat.
Last, but not least, continue to offer sensible portions of healthy food at every meal. Do not provide substitution, especially unhealthy ones. Eventually she will accept that this is what she has to eat. Avoid sugary foods, caffeinated beverages, etc.
Best of luck!
Hi Mumof2wanting2more,
Please give me an idea of what your daughter eats and drinks - what she likes.
Can you give me any idea as to what you think may be the cause of her not wanting to eat? Is she eating lots of cookies, crackers or sweets? These things can give the body a false sense of being "full", without offering the body the nutrients that it needs to stay healthy.
Does she get sick often? (i.e. colds, flu, etc.) Is she a happy, easy going child, or does she tend to be more "grumpy"?
The smoothies that Mom2Many suggested are often a big hit with children. I can give you some recipe ideas for those, but mostly I'd like to know what your daughter used to eat, that she liked, and if there's anything she still eats that she likes.
Post back and I'll give you some ideas to help your daughter start eating better (which, I'm sure, will reduce your stress).
Warm regards,
Hi Mumof2wanting2more,
You can get nutritious meal ideas from internet as there are lots of sites available for kids nutritious meal on internet so just spend some time on internet and Google nutritious meals for kids. If possible consult dietitian to do engage your kid in regular physical activities as it will boost his metabolism.
I am just following up on this post as I know the eating habits of young children can become a worry for some parents.
Most young children do go through phases of 'fussy eating'. For the majority of children, this passes and they start eating a greater variety of food again. Dr. Sears (the well-known attachment parenting paediatrician) advises parents to try a 'grazing plate'. This is a plate with a variety of small portions of food (such as grapes, dates, mini sandwiches, steamed chicken etc) that you allow your child to 'graze from'. It is best left at a lowered child's table so they can easily come and eat from the plate and go as they please. The idea behind this is that sometimes children have so much they want to do and play with they find it boring to sit at the table for what seems like long periods of time. Also, because children tend to be on the go all day, more frequent smaller meals can meet their dietary needs better.
I would continue to offer a variety of food to your child even if it seems that they are leaving the majority of the food. The fussy eating will pass and, if lots of different interesting foods are offered, your child will eventually begin to eat more. As long as a child is well and happy otherwise the fussy eating is likely to gradually become balanced and healthy eating.
Another good tip is to offer food that releases energy slowly, such as porridge, quinoa, sweet potatoes etc - if your child eats some of these they will be able to keep going through the day as the energy is gradually released to their body.
Finally, I (like many parents and health professionals) believe in gentle parenting. So I would try not to give meal-times emotional significance for your child and label certain foods as 'good' or 'bad' (or praise your child when they eat certain foods). I would advise keeping it neutral, following your child's lead (whilst continuing to offer a wide variety of healthy food) and making meal-times a fun and happy family time.
If anyone else is finding meal-times difficult then please post back and we will offer some more food ideas to support you.
Best wishes,

I agree MarkHerry.
It is important that children get enough Calcium in their diet due to their growing bones. Milk is obviously as excellent source of Calcium but, if you child does not enjoy drinking milk, you could try making milky porridge or offering them yoghurts. Cheese is another good source of Calcium but you do have to be careful of the salt content here. In terms of vegetables and fruit - as many as possible (for you and your kids!)

Kevin Pietersen has returned fire on Matt Prior after his former team-mate suggested the England dressing room would be a better place without the record run-scorer.
Prior was a peacemaker when Pietersen was temporarily left out of the England team during the turbulent summer of 2012 but he was accused on February 4 of having ''stabbed (Pietersen) in the back'' during the Ashes tour by journalist Piers Morgan, a friend of the batsman.
At the time, the Sussex wicketkeeper-batsman dismissed Morgan's take on events - that Prior had been critical of team director Andy Flower in a team meeting during England's dismal winter tour - and on Thursday night he was reported to have welcomed news that Pietersen would no longer be playing international cricket.
The tit-for-tat exchange appeared to hint at the simmering disharmony which has existed within the England ranks.
According to reports, Prior made his comment about Pietersen at a question-and-answer session in Dubai, insisting England needed players with passion for the cause in their team.
Pietersen responded by mocking his old middle-order colleague's recent form, labelling him 'The Big Cheese'.
"Fewer Q&A's, more Sussex nets methinks," Pietersen wrote on Twitter.
Pietersen, whose international career was effectively ended by the England and Wales Cricket Board's decision to "start the rebuilding process" without him on returning from Australia, then responded to a number of replies to his initial tweet.
One urged him to "be strong", and Pietersen said: "I'm always strong! The Big Cheese won't be happy in the Sussex nets...haha."
When another Twitter user suggested Pietersen's initial comment was "why KP isn't in the England set up any more", the 33-year-old said: "neither is The Big Cheese Prior!"
Former England spinner Graeme Swann waded into the debate on Friday afternoon, suggesting both Prior and Pietersen would have been better served discussing their issues on the phone, instead of in public.
Swann told BBC Radio 5 Live: "I think Matt's been a bit naive doing a Q&A in Dubai...you're never safe in these things. But Kevin has come back in a fairly childish way.
"I'm sure he (Pietersen) has still got his (Prior's) mobile number and could have rung him. But public spats are the new thing."
Swann added on Radio 5 Live: "Hand on heart I had no inkling of what was about to happen. I'm as intrigued as anyone to know what's gone on.
"Matt was one of Kevin's biggest allies when a lot of players thought there was no way back for him.
"But Alastair Cook and Matt talked us round and said 'KP can change' - and he did.
"But what's gone on behind the scenes has obviously upset people to a large extent."

For a woman, infertility (or a state of subfertility) can manifest itself as either:
- the inability to become pregnant
- an inability to maintain a pregnancy
- an inability to carry a pregnancy to a live birth.
When men and women attempt to have a child or to expand their family, the causes and the difficulties encountered can be complex. Many simple, as well as more complex medical interventions can be attempted to help a couple or an individual to reach a state of pregnancy or to be able to maintain a pregnancy which results in a live birth.

The Full Monty... in Proportion
Dr. Eric Gaze
Director of the QR Program
Bowdoin College
Numb:1/5 is the same multiple of 1/4 as 3/5 is of 3/4.
Number:The ratio of 1/5 to 1/4 equals 3/5 to 3/4.
Num-best:The probabilities 1/5 and 3/5 are in proportion to 1/4 and 3/4.
The Monty Hall Problem is the all-time classic probability problem that is emblematic of how counter-intuitive counting can sometimes be. This problem has experienced a renaissance of late, appearing in an expanded version in the Macalester Problem of the Week in October 2008, and getting top billing as the lead article, "Monty Hall, Monty Fall, Monty Crawl" by Jeffrey Rosenthal, in the September 2008 Math Horizonspublication. Monty has long been a favorite of mine, and I included a variant of it in Alfred University's 2008 Nevins Mathematics Exam for high school students. Monty still causes fits for many professional mathematicians (it was voted the most difficult problem on the Nevins exam), and most solutions that are presented are "hand-waving" at best. So when I read the article by Rosenthal which presents an airtight proof of the answer, and does so using the "proportionality principle," I could not resist sharing with the National Numeracy Network.
The problem states that you are on a game show and must choose one door from three, with the chance of winning a car which is behind one of the doors. After you have made your choice, the host, Monty Hall, graciously opens one of the two other doors which does not contain the car and gives you the option of switching your door to the door he did not open. What should you do? Should you trust your first instinct and stay, or should you switch given the new information, or does it just not matter since there are now only 2 doors and it is 50-50 that the car is behind either one? Marilyn vos Savant answered this question in her "Ask Marilyn" column in Parade Magazine on September 9, 1990. She reportedly has the world's highest IQ and did not disappoint by correctly saying you should always switch and double your chances of winning from 1/3 to 2/3! This touched off such a firestorm of controversy with statisticians writing in arguing for the 50-50 solution, that she eventually devoted three more columns to this problem.
A nice way to explain the correct solution is to ask what you would do if Monty had offered you both other doors instead of the one you had chosen. In this case everyone agrees you should take two doors for the one and get a 2/3 chance of winning the car; but this is exactly what Monty is doing! The fact that he tells you one of the two doors does not have the car does not change the fact that he is giving you both doors. I have been comfortable with using this explanation for my students until I read the Monty Fall problem in Rosenthal's article. In this version Monty accidentally falls after one too many cosmopolitans and opens one of the two doors by mistake. It is possible in this version that Monty might open the door with the car. If the car is not behind this randomly opened door, should you still switch? The correct solution now is that it doesn't matter, the 50-50 solution is correct here!
This blew my mind away (please return if seen) since this seems to be identical to the original problem. The subtle change is in the randomness of his action. His intention makes all the difference in the world and seems to place this problem in the paradoxical realm of Schrodinger's cat. The resolution of this conundrum lies in the proportionality principle:
If various alternatives are equally likely, and then some event is observed, the updated probabilities for the alternatives are proportional to the probabilities that the observed event would have occurred under those alternatives...
Yikes! This definition is a good example of a logically sound mathematical statement that takes a bit to digest, and is best understood via example. So let's use a simpler situation of two siblings, Alice and Bob, who are equally likely to have eaten an apple. We observe an apple core on the counter and know that Alice leaves the core on the counter 1/5 of the time while Bob leaves the core on the counter 3/5 of the time. What are the updated probabilities for Alice and Bob to have eaten the apple given the observed event?
We have the conditional probabilities of the observed event, core, given Alice or Bob. (The vertical slash is read, "given," so the first statement below reads: "The probability of finding a core given Alice ate the apple is 1/5."):
P(core|Alice)=1/5 and P(core|Bob)=3/5
The proportionality principle is trying to tell us that these probabilities are in proportion to the reverse conditional probabilities:
P(core|Alice):P(core|Bob) = 1:3 = P(Alice|core):P(Bob|core).
The next key is to realize that although the first pair of probabilities, 1/5 and 3/5, do not have to add to one, the second pair of probabilities must add to one since they represent the only possible alternatives given the observed event of the apple core. Thus we have:
P(Alice|core) + P(Bob|core) = 1
P(Alice|core)=1/4 and P(Bob|core)=3/4 .
We can now apply this technique to the Full range of Monty problems. In Monty Hall, the car is equally likely to be behind door #1, or #2, or #3. Let's assume without loss of generality that you choose door #1. The observed event is Monty now opening another door, let's say #2. So our three alternatives are car #1, car #2, or car #3; and the observed event is open #2. Once again we have the conditional probabilities for the observed event given where the car might be:
P(open#2|car#1)=1/2, P(open#2|car#2)=0, P(open#2|car#3)=1.
The first probability is 1/2 because if the car is behind door #1 (which you chose) Monty may open door #2 or door #3; while if the car is behind door #3, then Monty must open door #2 (he cannot open the door you chose)! The two non-zero probabilities corresponding to doors #1 and #3 are now in the ratio of 1 : 2, which means the similar reverse probabilities must be in the same proportion:
P(car#1|open#2):P(car#3|open#3) = 1:2.
And since these two probabilities must add to one we have that the probability the car is behind your choice of door #1 given door #2 open is 1/3 and the probability the car is behind door #3 given door #2 open is 2/3. Thus you should switch to door #3!
The Monty Fall problem can be treated identically but now the randomness of Monty opening either door means that they are equally likely to be opened and hence are in the proportion of 1:1, not 1:2, and thus the updated probabilities must both be ½! It is crucial in this version that we are assuming he does not open the door with the car, a point we will return to post haste.
Strictly speaking the proportionality principle is nothing more than the definition of conditional probability applied twice in succession:
Where the Ai's are the equally likely events and B is the observed event (and hence has non-zero probability). Saying these probabilities are "proportional" is referring to the fact that every conditional probability is the same constant multiple of its reverse. This is exactly the same as when two triangles are similar; meaning the ratio of any two associated sides is constant. Thus we could say the two sets of conditional probabilities are similar.
The solution technique above does not require us to actually solve for this constant multiple, we used the additional fact that the sum of the P(Ai|B)'s is one. Hence two probabilities in the ratio 1:2 which add to one must be 1/3 and 2/3. There seems to be some magical action-at-a-distance property involved in computing these conditional probabilities by first finding the reverse and then invoking similarity. Conditional probabilities are well-known for their confusing properties and have been popularized in the false-positive medical diagnosis problems. The proportionality principle provides a new twist on these tricky ratios.
One final note for those still not convinced. Marilyn vos Savant admonished her readers who did not believe to play the game with cups and pennies and count the number of times you win by switching. I have my students play a 21st century version of this game by programming Excel to randomly pick a door for the car, and randomly pick a door for the contestant. Now since Monty will open another door without the car, you will win by switching if your door does not equal the car door. Thus you can have Excel count the number of times you win by switching, by simply checking when your door is not equal to the car door! Run this simulation a thousand times and you win on average 2/3 of the time. Interestingly, when students are forced to think of the problem this way they can see why the solution is 2/3, and do not need to run the simulation to count the number of wins.
The Monty Fall problem is also easy to program since the opened door is random (just not equal to the chosen door). Remember that in this version you can now also win if Monty opens the door with the car. I ran this simulation (pennies and cups work here as well) and was expecting to win 50% of the time. Excel however is not interested in the nuances of the proportionality principle, it is a counting machine, and gave me the correct answer. I won't spoil your surprise; that would be letting the cat out of the box!
Sapere Aude!

Zebo - Monday, July 31, 2006 - linkI do not understand not finding the MAX FSB of these Conroe Boards by lowering multiplier to say 6-7. Many of us want to buy a Yugo(E6300) and make a Mercedes (3000Mhz +) and with these crappy sub 400Mhz bus speeds shown here: http://images.anandtech.com/graphs/abitab9proupdat...">http://images.anandtech.com/graphs/abitab9proupdat...
We will be unable to do so. The very best board there can crank a E6300 up to 2800Mhz? Yes or No? No probably but we will never know based on your limited info. Reply
Tujan - Tuesday, July 25, 2006 - linkWhat is the least wattage power supply that would be used with these boards. For examples sake,the Abit board just reviewed ?
700 watts is fairly large wattage. I would like to use a 450 watt high efficiency unit. Or 500 watt at the most.
Whats the 'least' wattage power supply that you might use.? Considering you wouldn't be doing any of the tweaks,that is running the board at factory stats. [1]?
This board is going to cost how much ? [2] Is this board in the same range as the 975s from Intel ? Or within the same range as the 945 MBs wich run the Pentium,Pentium Ds (Prescotts)?
Gary Key - Wednesday, July 26, 2006 - link
What is the least wattage power supply that would be used with these boards. For examples sake,the Abit board just reviewed ?
What CPU? Conroe/Pentium D and a X1900XT would still justify 500w range if you expect to upgrade to the next generation video card and also overclock. Conroe and a 7800GT as an example would be fine with a high quality 400~450w power supply and still allow decent headroom for overclocking.
Whats the 'least' wattage power supply that you might use.? Considering you wouldn't be doing any of the tweaks,that is running the board at factory stats. [1]?
A high quality 400w power supply would be fine, depending on the 12V rails a 350w might suffice with zero overclocking and a 7600 / X1600 level video card, all of this depends on the number of drives, cooling, and cards you add-on.
This board is going to cost how much ?
At this point, $140, probably come down $125 as more boards are introduced in this price range. Reply
Tujan - Wednesday, July 26, 2006 - linkThanks for reply. Yes probably an Antech power supply. True Power,or Smart Power HE unit. Most of my regards in builds doesn't dismiss the overclocker market. Still it is good to know what the normal configuration will require.
7600GT,or 1600XT, Maybe a single large Sata,or two high-end Sata 3s in Raid 0. USBs in use,keyboard etc. 2 gigs of Ram. Core Duo 6300 . Creative latest sound card. DVD /DVD writer.
144$,.. not bad for sure.
xsilver - Monday, July 24, 2006 - linkdoes this uguru bios allow on the fly overclocking without reboot? (in windows)
actually do all motherboards pretty much allow that these days? Reply
Gary Key - Wednesday, July 26, 2006 - linkIt normally does, testing a new version now that works with the latest bios and P965. Hopefully, I can report on it before the 965 roundup. Reply
DigitalFreak - Monday, July 24, 2006 - link7 slot motherboards? First it dropped to 6 slots, and now it's down to 5! With dual slot GPU coolers becoming commonplace, we need all the slots we can get. Reply
monsoon - Monday, July 24, 2006 - linkI know you CONROE overclocking dedicated article is still on the way; I just wanted to mention I'm one among those who would rather see the E6600 results rather than the E6700 or other, if we have to choose one CPU only.
...Also, do you think an overclocking comparison between MEROM and CONROE ( and YONAH ) is coming in the future ?
Thanks for another great article; I'll be drooling until one of those chips is in my hands...
;) Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, July 24, 2006 - linkRight now, E6600 chips would top out at the same spot on most motherboards. The boards are holding back the E6700, not the CPU - except for the ASUS P5WDH, of course. So until the companies can get better OC'ing BIOS versions out, you're limited to 9x367 (roughly) with this Abit board.
As far as comparing Merom and Conroe overclocking, that will be a bit difficult since Merom is going to fit in a different socket and won't be available for a few months more. The most we got out of Yonah on the AOpen motherboard was about 2.8 GHz, Conroe is clearly the better choice for overall performance since high end cooling is allowing people to reach 4.0 GHz and beyond. Merom could be interesting in that it will have higher multipliers so you won't need the high FSB speed support, but the inability to run Merom chips in socket 775 boards means you'll have to go for something like the AOpen board we reviewed, which is very expensive, though granted it's about the same price as most of the 975X Conroe motherboards. Reply
dugbug - Monday, July 24, 2006 - linkDo you really think it will be two+ months before we see a merom laptop? What about sneek-preview laptops for review sites? Info on merom can't get here fast enough :) Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, July 24, 2006 - linkBeing able to look at Merom chips and laptops is one thing; being able to purchase them is another. We will do our best to bring you information as soon as possible, but I really don't expect Merom to be substantially faster/better than Conroe, and I really do expect socket 479 desktop motherboards to be more difficult to find. Reply
dugbug - Tuesday, July 25, 2006 - linkLooking forward to your first merom laptop review. I expect it to be slower than conroe, Im more interested in how it compares to core duo/yonah.

bob661 - Monday, July 24, 2006 - linkI figured I would see more comments on this. Odd. Reply
exitous - Monday, July 24, 2006 - linkIs there is really any difference between the ab9 pro and the regular ab9 board other than some extra sata ports? The ab9 pro is out of stock now at newegg, so I was thinking of just getting the non pro board instead and saving a few bucks in the process. Reply
dasmokedog - Sunday, July 30, 2006 - linkRaid support on the Pro Reply
Gary Key - Monday, July 24, 2006 - linkI cannot comment on this since we do not have a board yet. The obvious differences are in the SATA ports, RAID capabilities, ALC-883 on the AB9, single Gb Ethernet, and couple of other minor differences in board design. How well the ABP overclocks or its stock performance is unknown at this time although I asked Abit to respond to your question. :) Reply

DigitalFreak - Monday, July 24, 2006 - linkNo, their not. Blame the likes of Creative and others for not producing PCI-E cards, not Abit for including the slots. Time marches on, boys. Reply
DigitalFreak - Monday, July 24, 2006 - linktheir = there. Damn the lack of an edit button!
JarredWalton - Monday, July 24, 2006 - linkWe would still prefer physical X16 slots with X1 connections, though. Since PCIe is backwards compatible, there's little reason to use X1 connectors. Reply

I can do that,.. I'm looking for a word list or generator for trade
i want a wordlist as we call it for a list of number from 1000000 to 9999999
but with a 101-prefix to the list generated, i.e 1011000000, 10110000001,...
1019999999 like that.
i searched and found many but with none i'm able to get to generate a list like this. someone can guide me, then it would be great. i want any program name and the correct argument to pass to get this sort of list printed.
I can do that,.. I'm looking for a word list or generator for trade
This task is very straightforward, read the documentation for 'crunch'.
Gotta love that 101 area code,...
Anyway,.. there is a program on my XP side I'll have to see what the name is.. It's a generator that will do almost unlimited passwords with 0-9 and a-z. Only set back is your processing power. The higher the processing power the more likely you are not to crash the program. Also,.. As far as the prefix. There is an actual website I saved that is Java based to add a prefix (and suffix if needed) to a .txt list. Add the two together and it there yea go.. Again PM me if your still interested.
That Word program,.. I looked at it,.. I could be miss reading it, but I'm pretty sure it's only a sorter of words in alphabetical order. Would come in happy if I could get my hands on like a word list of websters dictionary in .txt format, lol... What I am looking for is like say there is a 10 symbol password, you would put that in, and then this program would spit out every word that is 10 symbols long. anyone see that?
To begin with you give advice about an apparently buggy windows program, and to end you ask a basic basic question that - if you had bothered to click through the answers in this very thread PROPERLY - should have been answered already. pureh@te even wrote a phenomenally obvious menu option into his script, and it is relatively terrifying that you can't figure it out from there. I'm a little lost as to what you should be doing - asking questions or answering others - though I am reminded of the old adage about the blind leading the blind.
Prefix and suffix are simply done with some basic (VERY BASIC) scripting, bash or perl I can think of a 30 letter single line that will do either/or. If you, or anyone, want to try it, look at the obvious stuff like doing it with "echo", or awk, or even sed if you are really bored.
There's also been about 6 threads that I've replied to in the past not-very-long that detail these exact answers.
Still not underestimating the power...
There is no such thing as bad information - There is truth in the data, so you sift it all, even the crap stuff.

FAMILIES enjoyed a day of activities in glorious sunshine at Taunton's Hamilton Park on Saturday - despite a technical hitch which meant they missed out on some of the stalls and attractions.
A refreshment trailer came loose from the vehicle towing it as it arrived at the park, and blocked the entrance for around an hour and a half.
Fiona Phur, secretary of The Friends of Hamilton Gault Park, said: "Something happened with the suspension and the whole thing hit the floor.
"It took an hour and a half for the breakdown people to move it and we know at least one of our rides couldn't get in. We don't know how many stallholders decided to call it off.
"We also didn't have a refreshment stand as a result."
Despite the setback, the event was still extremely popular, said Fiona, with children and adults enjoying the large number of attractions - almost all of which were free - that had already made it onto the park.
They included a petting zoo, a tombola, circus skills equipment, and a host of games and kit for children from the Community Games scheme - a legacy of the London Olympics which allows communities to hire out equipment for community events.
Fiona said: "We had a great crowd because we had fantastic weather.
"Not one visitor said 'why are there not more stands?'
"We also had some live music which went down very well.
"We have decided that for future events we are going to be a bit more proactive in looking for a band, as we had a lot of people just sitting around enjoying the music."

Hi all,
For this link => http://readymag.com/mag/1/
How is the effect on the word "Web" achieved? 3D effects? Any simple plugin that can do this?
The HTML5 canvas and javascript.
From what I can tell, it's a particles extension plugin for jQuery. If you decompress the primary javascript file, you can see it in there.
Thanks Force Flow!
In other words, you seem to imply that it's easily replicated?
you can learn about this here : http://www.html5canvastutorials.com/ hope that can help...
All the code to do it is there to look at. All you have to do is tinker with it.
Or, try searching for jquery particle effects.

Print Ariat International has been providing boots since 1993. Co-founders Beth Cross and Pam Parker both realized in 1990, that many traditional English and Western riding boots were not suitable for equestrian riding. With their expertise and with a footwear background, they realized there was a need for improved riding boots for men, women and kids. Using their knowledge in athletic footwear, they began making performance enhancing changes to their riding boots, giving these athletes an edge. Ariat Boots quickly became known as the most innovative and performance riding boots. They provide the same technology in men's riding boots, women's riding boots and kids riding boots. They totally redesigned the traditional outsole, arch support and last shape and took Ariat Boots to the next level in riding boot technology. While building the technology into these western riding boots, Ariat had hundreds of top riders help design and develop their final product. Today Ariat is the world leader in performance equestrian footwear as well as offering the most stylish western boots on the market. Ariat Boots offers a wide range of products from English and Western riding boots, work boots and casual boots. Their forward thinking and performance lines outfit today's most avid equestrian riders and enthusiasts.

"I was very impressed with the entire process from the selection, to the pricing, to the customer service, to the quality! If I could, I would buy all my wedding stuff from this company (beyond paper items!) I highly recommend Wedding Paper Divas!"
"We are so happy with how our wedding invitations turned out! I can't believe how much we love them. The colors are vibrant and elegant and are perfect for our Dallas rooftop wedding. I give this product 5 stars for sure and nothing less."
"Ordering my invitations from Wedding Paper Divas was overall one of the best online shopping experiences I've ever had, and I shop online all the time. I actually ordered 2 different designs for the 2 different wedding celebrations we're having. Both sets required some editing of the standard design, and the process of making all desired changes was quick, seamless, easy. Everything arrived when expected, as expected. Excellent quality. I would recommend Wedding Paper Divas to anyone!"
"We fell in love with the quality of the samples we received and decided to choose this website. We added our photos to personalize and we received great design help to make last minute changes even after the order was placed. It was delivered on time and we were extremely pleased with the outcome . The entire Wedding Paper Divas experience was amazing and we will recommend every chance we get."
"I could not be more happy with how these invitations turned out. I paid the small upcharge for the pearl paper and was nervous that it would feel flimsy, but they are seriously perfect. There are plenty of aspects of planning this wedding that have been complicated, but the this was not one of them. The ONLY caveat was that you can't rearrange any of the text boxes on your own for spacing and have to work with a designer, however, they got back with me very quickly and it was a painless process. Even if our cruise ship wedding sinks in Alaska, I will have had FABULOUS invitations."

THERE were tears in everyone's eyes when an elderly Bishop's Hull couple got the chance to see their grand-daughter get married via webcam from London.
Margaret and Herby Venner, residents in their early 90s at the Manor Care Home, in Bishop's Hull, had thought they would both miss out on the big day.
But staff's quick thinking meant they got to be a part of the landmark occasion after all, donning matching white roses, in honour of grand-daughter Rose, in their buttonholes, and toasting the newly-weds with a glass of sherry.
Jayne Mannion, head of therapeutic service, said: "I think all homes should do it.
"There was no way on earth they were going to get there, so to do something that special was wonderful.
"You don't have many couples in care, or at that age. I don't think anyone anticipated that it would be so moving.
"Herby had been saying the day before that he was 'going' to his grand-daughter's wedding – and he was, in effect.
"We were all in tears watching the joy on their faces."

HICKORY, N.C. – The Saint Leo men's lacrosse team ran out to a five goal lead and never looked back as the Lions routed the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears by a score a 20-5 on Friday evening in Hickory, N.C. The win advances the Lions' record to 6-2, and 4-1 in conference play, while the Bears drop to a mark of 4-4, and 2-1 in DSC action.
Leading the Lions on the night was Matt Obermeyer with four goals. Robert Hutchinson matched Obermeyer in points with three goals and an assist, and was joined by Chris Caiazza who posted two goals and two assists. A total of 13 players contributed to the Lions' scoring efforts on the evening.
Lenoir-Rhyne was led in goals by Tyler Koch with two, while Imari Davis led the team in overall points with a goal and two assists.
The Green and Gold ran out to a quick five-goal lead while holding the Bears off of the scoreboard until the 3:59 mark. Saint Leo posted one more goal in the first quarter to hold onto a dominant 6-1 lead after the opening 15 minutes.
The second-stanza was just as dominant as the first for the Lions. Saint Leo outscored the Bears 7-2 to enter into the halftime break with a 13-3 advantage.
Lenoir-Rhyne opened the third quarter with their only goal of the period, but the Lions posted two more goals to close the period with a 15-4 lead.
