"Natural Pet Care is a concept that involves every aspect of our pet's lives, with the intention of coming as close to their natural environment as possible, while still providing safety and comfort."
The modern world seems about as far from natural as we can get. Where our dogs' and cats' ancestors and cousins would be living in the wilderness and hunting for their food, today most pets spend the majority of their time indoors and have their meals served to them!
Natural Pet Care is a concept that involves every aspect of our pet's lives, with the intention of coming as close to their natural environment as possible, while still providing safety and comfort. It includes nutrition, exercise, veterinary care, dental care, grooming, mental stimulation, and stress management. Let's look at each of these factors individually:
Diet is the foundation of health. Nothing can replace a fresh, healthy diet when it comes to promoting health and warding off both acute and chronic disease. No matter what supplements, herbs, or remedies you give your pet, her body cannot heal without "good groceries."
Nutrition Rule #1 is that the fresher the food, the greater the nutrition.
Here's a freshness scale for evaluating your pet's diet, from 1 to 5, with 1 being the best:
Consuming the same food, day after day, year after year, can contribute to the development of food sensitivities and allergies, inflammatory bowel disease, and other health issues. Feed a variety of main protein sources and, for dogs, vegetables as well. Until your pet's system becomes healthier and more able to handle change, transition between foods gradually to avoid tummy upset.
No diet is perfect; appropriate supplements can add tremendous value and keep your pet in tip-top health:
Our pets need adequate exercise as much as we do. The amount and type of exercise your pet should get depends on age, breed, temperament, weight, and social factors.
For example, a young border collie needs a great deal of activity that engages its mind, such as dog agility training; while a middle-aged pug may be fine with a short daily walk. Research your dog's breed to understand more about its temperament and exercise needs; but also take into account those other factors.
If you have two or more dogs who play together vigorously several times a day, you may be able to provide a smaller portion of less strenuous activity—although walks and play time with you are still vital to your dog's overall health. We have a wide selection of outdoor gear for dogs, and interactive toys for dogs.
Don't forget that cats need exercise, too. Interactive play sessions with fishing-pole type toys like Go Cat Da Bird not only provide exercise, but also deepen the bond with you; and perhaps most importantly, satisfy those strong hunter instincts to create a calmer, more confident cat. If you have a young, athletic cat like a Bengal or Siamese, consider cat agility or a cat exercise wheel (basically an oversized hamster wheel; check out this video of an exercise wheel).
Your pet's energy level and weight will give you an overall picture of whether his exercise regimen is adequate.
Veterinary Care
With the current controversy surrounding annual vaccinations, many people are electing to have their pets get fewer vaccines. This has led to the assumption that they don't need to bring them in for an annual examination.
However, even if your pet is not getting any vaccines, it is still essential that your veterinarian have the opportunity to give your animal companion a thorough examination at least every year (more often for chronically ill or older pets).
By checking your pet regularly, your veterinarian can catch potential problems early. For instance, it is estimated that 85% of dogs and cats who go to the vet for any reason are also found to have significant dental disease. Left untreated, it can lead to painful tooth decay as well as systemic illness due to chronic infection.
It is your choice whether or not to let your veterinarian vaccinate your pet. Core puppy and kitten vaccines are recommended, because the viruses in those vaccines are life-threatening. Rabies vaccines must be given in compliance with local and state laws. Non-core and booster vaccines are not necessary for the vast majority of dogs and cats. For more information on the risks and benefits of vaccines, please see our article on pet vaccinations.
Dental Care
Keeping your pet's teeth and gums healthy requires a commitment on your part. Special "tartar control" diets or treats are not enough. Bacteria are always present in the mouth, and within hours of a professional cleaning, they are already hard at work creating plaque, a sticky deposit on the teeth. In just 24 hours, the plaque starts to harden into tartar (calculus). Daily tooth brushing and regular veterinary checkups are essential. Your vet can help you choose products and give you instructions on how to brush, along with tips for getting pets to accept the treatment.
There are also dental products that have been developed to help combat plaque build-up in pets' mouths. Only Natural Pet has a wide selection of dental care products. Learn more about pet dental health care in our Holistic Healthcare Library.
In some areas, anesthesia-free teeth cleaning is available. A properly trained technician can do quite a lot for pets who are willing to sit still for it. But ultimately, most pets will need regular professional cleaning under anesthesia at your veterinarian's clinic.
Regular combing and brushing is a must for many breeds of dogs and cats. Brushing is fine for short-coated animals, but for the overly-furred, only a comb or sturdy metal-toothed slicker brush will get down to the skin and pull out the dead hair. It is especially important to be vigilant about grooming during the spring and fall shedding seasons.
Dogs and cats need regular claw care. Cats' claws are curved, and can actually grow in a circle and back into the paw pad, causing a painful abscess. But you just have to take a look every week or so, and trim when and where needed. It's best to accustom pets to nail-trimming when they're young, but even older animals can learn to tolerate it. Do not let it become a battle; if your pet resists, let it go for another time. You can always catch them napping, and just trim one or two nails at a time. Only Natural Pet Store has a wide selection of grooming products
Mental Stimulation
Lack of mental stimulation can cause significant physical and behavioral problems. Working and herding breed dogs in particular need to have a job to do. If you don't give one, they'll make one up—and you might not like the activity they choose, such as "furniture design by mouth"!
For dogs, one of the best ways to stimulate their minds is proper training. EVERY puppy should go through a "puppy class" at the very least. Even when you adopt an older dog, both you and the dog can benefit from a consultation with a good trainer or behaviorist. These professionals help you interpret the dog's behavior and teach you how to communicate in ways that your dog can understand.
Cats are not as easily trained, although it's not impossible, and it can be very helpful for active breeds like Orientals and Bengals. Play therapy—regular interactive play sessions—lets cats satisfy their inner hunter. This provides exercise, boosts confidence, and reduces stress and stress-related behaviors such as aggression.
"Indoor enrichment" is essential for pets who spend most or all of their time inside. This may include: food-dispensing toys; sensory enrichment (such as a window perch for bird-watching, pet-directed videos, toys, and--for cats--posts, trees or shelves for climbing; and novel objects (like cardboard boxes or paper bags).
Stress Management
You may look at the cat sprawled in a patch of sunlight on the sofa, or the dog curled up at your feet, and wonder, "What stress?" Yet our furry companions can and do experience stress as much or more than we do. For instance, dogs with separation anxiety live in extreme stress for a good portion of every day their guardian is away at work or school. Cats in multiple-cat households are frequently stressed over too-small territories (adding cat furniture and other vertical space can be very helpful).
It's been abundantly proven that stress suppresses the immune system. Of course, both cats and dogs are acutely aware of the stress levels of their human companions—the more stressed you and other family members are, the more your cat or dog feels, absorbs, and manifests that stress—whether by acting out behaviorally or internalizing it as illness. Managing our own stress may be the most important step we can take to improve our pets' well-being.
Training, interactive play and other exercise, and mental stimulation are all crucial parts of stress management for pets.
Holistic therapies such as stress reducing herbs, stress reducing homeopathy, and flower essences are valuable tools for animals whose stress is affecting their health or behavior. Pheromone sprays can also create a calm, non-threatening environment for nervous or aggressive pets. Click here to see products that help reduce stress.
As mentioned above, "Indoor enrichment" is essential for both dogs and cats who spend most or all of their time inside. Also called "environmental enrichment," the goal is to reduce mental and emotional stress. Components may include: food-dispensing balls and Kong toys; sensory enrichment (such as a window perch for bird-watching, pet-directed videos, and cat furniture for climbing and scratching, as well as to increase vertical territory); and novel objects (like cardboard boxes or paper bags). But quality play and petting time with the human family is truly the most important "enrichment" tool of all.

Small-Scale Projects Intended to Benefit Society
Two biomedical devices from the University of Rochesterone to benefit children with autism and another for individuals who have lost the use of one or more limbswill soon come to market, thanks to an innovative, new funding mechanism.
Last year, the University provided some of the initial money to create Innovocracy, a crowdfunding platform with a twist. While other crowdfunders focus on the fields of arts, science research, and start-up companies, Innovocracy is different: It deals exclusively with academic researchers who develop products that can benefit society. Additionally, Innovocracy targets small-scale projectstypically $15,000 or lessthat often do not get the attention of major funders.
"The University was our very first launch partner," said Mikael Totterman, chairman of Innovocracy. "The initiative would not have been possible without its participation."
Daniel Mruzek, Ph.D., an associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Rochester Medical Center, and Stephen McAleavey, Ph.D., associate professor of biomedical engineering at the University, developed the first project to come out of Innovocracy.
Mruzek and McAleavey invented a toilet-training device for children with autism, which consists of a disposable sensor and wireless alarm, and has the potential to benefit children and families, as well as school professionals who work with special-needs children. The pager alerts the child and his or her caretakers at the onset of an accident, initiating a simple, reward-based procedure to teach toileting skills.
"Innovocracy changes the way scientists and businesses bring ideas to reality, not only in terms of time from concept to production, but also in terms of creating a market for the product as it is being funded," said Mruzek. "The level of community excitement and involvement is like none I've encountered in traditional funding methods."
University of Rochester Vice Provost of Technology Transfer Policy Gail Norris added, "Innovocracy's first successful project proves that direct funding from sponsors can be an important source of research funding for a University. The University of Rochester is proud to be part of this exciting new effort."
The latest Innovocracy project, developed by a team of biomedical engineering students at the University of Rochester, will benefit individuals with only one fully-functioning arm. Jackson Block, Sara Hutchinson, Dominic Marino, David Narrow, and Martin Szeto designed a one-handed control device that allows users to operate a recumbent tricycle.
Totterman explained that early-stage capital is harder to find, as venture capital firms move toward later stage investing. Innovocracy was founded in order to fill that gap by relying on crowdfunding, by which digital media users make contributions in any amount.
Like other crowdfunding operations, contributors are only charged for their pledges if the overall funding goal for the project is reached by a specified target date. More than 90% of the funding goes directly to the innovator. The funding does not result in any ownership by the contributor of the technology or its eventual commercial product, and no product samples are given in exchange for the contributions.
"Our goal was to help university-based inventors quickly bring their products to the marketplace," said Totterman. "The success we've had with our first projects proves there's a demand for this type of funding model."
Joining the University of Rochester as launch partners were Cornell University, the Rochester Institute of Technology, and Clarkson University.

MILWAUKEE—An electrical fire that closed the Milwaukee County Courthouse for a week could cost about $2 million to clean up.
County Comptroller Scott Manske tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (http://bit.ly/13KPe5V) a restoration firm hired for the cleanup suggested the sum.
County Executive Chris Abele has said he's optimistic the county's property insurance will cover the costs, after the county pays the $75,000 deductible.
Parts of the courthouse reopened Monday, but county officials have not said when they expect to have the full courthouse reopened.
The Milwaukee Fire Department responded July 6 after a short circuit in a courtroom outlet.
Ceiling panels throughout the building are being replaced, carpets are being cleaned or replaced, and walls and furniture are being washed to get rid of smoke damage.

Could you have permission to air Spirited Away / Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi here ?
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Spirited Away was released in Japan in July 2001, drawing an audience of around 23 million and revenues of ¥30 billion (approx. US$300 million), to become the highest-grossing film in Japanese history (surpassing the film Princess Mononoke for highest grossing animated motion pictures).
It was the first movie to have earned $200 million at the worldwide box office before opening in the United States. By 2002, a sixth of the Japanese population had seen it.
The film was dubbed into English by Walt Disney Pictures, under the supervision of Pixar's John Lasseter. It was subsequently released in the United States on September 20, 2002 and had made slightly over $10 million by September 2003. As of 2008 this film has earned $264,869,236 worldwide

I agree. Value added stuff like this will keep paying members like me and attract new ones. I really appreciate HD streams as well, since a lot of the time I USB the 'puter to my TV.

Home sales continue to improve, as demonstrated last week by the Charleston Trident Association of Realtors market report for May.
But what's ahead?
Foot traffic, also known as home showings, offers an indication of future sales.
For May, there were 30,364 showings at 8,337 properties, the association reported. That's up nearly 17 percent compared to the 26,040 showings for 8,308 properties a year ago. Spokeswoman Meghan Byrnes Weinreich said the uptick in foot traffic suggests the region should continue to show improvement in seasonal sales.
"This shows that buyers are out there and being very active in the marketplace," she said.
The number also could keep rising since it's the busy home-buying season. Also, it's likely there are more anxious prospective buyers on the hunt since mortgage rates and home prices continue to climb.
The association's research data shows that the local market continues to shift in favor of sellers. Home inventory in May fell below the six-month supply threshold, which is what experts consider an ideal balance. The last time that happened was in 2006.
The number of homeowners in the Charleston region who owe more than their properties are worth has dropped compared to the last three months of 2012, according to a report released last week.
In the Charleston-North Charleston-Summerville area, 23,737 residential properties with a mortgage, or 16.3 percent of the total, were classified as underwater, or in negative equity, for the first quarter. That's down from 27,961, or 19.1 percent, that were upside down in the previous three months, according to real estate information firm CoreLogic.
The CoreLogic report says another 8,362 area residences, or 5.7 percent, were nearing negative equity territory, down from 6.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012. Negative equity is a product of declining real estate values, rising mortgage balances or both.
The rebound in home prices has eased the problem, both locally and nationally.
"The impressive home price gains of 2012 and the beginning of 2013 have had a big impact on the distribution of residential home equity," said Mark Fleming, chief economist for CoreLogic.

Not that long ago, streets in Vietnam ... especially by the beach ... would have been strewn with garbage. Blue and pink plastic bags would have been littered and floating around everywhere. Vietnamese people have finally learned that it looks bad and is bad for business. They take care of their streets a lot better. No doubt the relatively recent surge in tourism has encouraged them.

This is one website which I had found helpful in explaining resource guarding and how to overcome it.
Resource guarding regarding other dogs or animals, I always put out multiples of every toy so that there is no way to hoard any one prized possession. There was a period where I removed all toys, because there was just too much jockying going on, then I reintroduced them---putting out multiples of the most boring toys first, then adding in the more exciting toys. I also leave the toys out all the time, to dull the excitement surrounding "toys."
If a dog is guarding a resource from a human, and you take that item away, you will often make the behavior worse. By taking the item away, you reinforce the instinct that the item needed to be guarded. To remove a guarded item, I would swap out that item by offering something more enticing, usually food, and remove the guarded item very matter-of-factly. It should then get to the point where the dog is willing to give up anything to you because they anticipate getting something better.
pLaurent wrote:For a dog who is already guarding food or resources, depriving him of them makes him think he was right to guard them.
a-bull wrote:My female is extremely dominant and I have encountered all of the above problems with her taking away toys, hoarding, etc. It takes a ton of time, working with them and their toys together, and giving commands.
I can now leave out a bucket of toys and although she will sometimes pull a toy from my other guy 'just because she can,' I respond to that behavior by getting another of the same toy and playing with both dogs.

Company Announcement
- Genentech and Biogen Idec have filed for re-hearing in the United States
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, May 17, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Genmab A/S (Copenhagen:GEN) announced today that Genentech and Biogen Idec have filed for a re-hearing en banc (i.e. before all judges of the court) in the appeal case, where the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit recently upheld the U.S. District Court's judgment in favor of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). The appeal case relates to a patent infringement case involving Arzerra® brought against GSK by Genentech and Biogen Idec.
Genentech and Biogen Idec claim that the decision from the US court of appeals announced on April 16, 2013 in favor of GSK was against court precedent and request the US court of appeals to reconsider the case. The court of appeals will now decide whether to grant the rehearing.
Genentech and Biogen Idec originally filed the lawsuit in 2010 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California claiming that Arzerra infringed U.S. Patent No. 7,682,612 covering methods of treating Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) with CD20 antibodies. GSK denied infringement and claimed the patent was invalid and unenforceable. An initial judgement by the court in favor of GSK in December 2011 was subsequently appealed by Genentech and Biogen Idec. In April 2013 the US court of appeals upheld the original decision by the US district court in favor of GSK.

No. 6 Georgia rallies past Tennessee 34-31 in OT
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Georgia's national title hopes kept shrinking as its injury list kept growing.
Then Aaron Murray and Marshall Morgan came to the rescue and saved the sixth-ranked Bulldogs' championship aspirations.
Morgan kicked a 42-yard field goal in overtime after Murray threw a game-tying touchdown pass with 5 seconds remaining in regulation Saturday as Georgia overcame a flurry of injuries in a 34-31 victory at Tennessee.
"I hit it and I knew it was good," Morgan said. "I was just thinking - I don't know - I just kind of lay down because I saw people running at me and my knee's already (been) hurting all game."
Morgan wasn't the only Bulldog with an aching knee. Georgia running back Keith Marshall injured his right knee in the first quarter and was carted into the locker room, the first sign this day might not go as planned for the Bulldogs.
They found a way to win anyhow.
Georgia (4-1, 3-0 SEC) forced overtime on Murray's 2-yard touchdown pass to Rantavious Wooten to make it 31-all. Georgia coach Mark Richt said the play actually was designed as a fade to the outside, but Murray instead found Wooten open across the middle.
Rajion Neal's 7-yard run had put Tennessee (3-3, 0-2) ahead 31-24 with 1:54 left after Justin Worley found A.J. Branisel for a 28-yard completion on fourth-and-1 from the Georgia 35.
Tennessee's Alton "Pig" Howard capped the first overtime possession by losing control of the ball as he dove toward the front right corner of the end zone. Howard's play was initially ruled a 7-yard touchdown, but replays showed he fumbled prior to crossing the goal line, turning the potential score into a turnover and touchback.
"Alton gave us a spark today," Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. "He was just trying to make a play."
Murray went 19 of 35 for 196 yards with three touchdowns and became the Southeastern Conference's all-time leader in career yards passing. Murray has thrown for 11,625 yards to break the record held by David Greene, who threw for 11,528 yards for Georgia from 2001-04. Neal ran for 148 yards for Tennessee (3-3, 0-2), which has lost 19 straight games against ranked opponents.
"A lot of guys went down today and that hurts a lot," Murray said. "We hit a lot of adversity all day long and we had to push through it, find guys to step up and guys stepped up, made some big plays for us."
Marshall injured his knee after taking a hit from Tennessee's Cam Sutton while reaching for an incomplete pass in the first quarter and was carted into the locker room. Wide receivers Michael Bennett and Justin Scott-Wesley and punter Collin Barber were knocked out of the game later. Georgia played the entire game without injured star running back Todd Gurley and safeties Tray Matthews and Connor Norman.
Richt didn't have an update on the status of players injured Saturday, but he said Gurley had a 50-50 chance of playing next week against Missouri. Marshall was on crutches after the game.
"I just don't know what the carnage is right now," Richt said.
Georgia still built a 17-3 halftime lead on the strength of Morgan's 56-yard field goal - the longest in Neyland Stadium history - and two Murray touchdown passes,
But after a 39-yard field-goal attempt by Morgan bounced off the left upright in the third quarter, Tennessee rallied to tie the game.
Tennessee had worn "Smokey gray" alternate uniforms Saturday in hopes of ending its history of frustration against ranked teams. The Vols hadn't used alternate uniforms since wearing black jerseys to a 31-13 victory over No. 21 South Carolina on Halloween 2009, their last win over a Top 25 team.
Morgan's miss had the Vols believing they could pull the upset.
"This team has become closer than any team I've been a part of and they hurt, but we're going to keep grinding," Jones said. "That's the only way I know how to do it and that's the only way they're going to know how to do it."
Tennessee cut the lead to 17-10 on freshman Marquez North's diving 19-yard catch in the left corner of the end zone. The Vols scored the tying touchdown with 1:25 left in the third quarter when freshman Jalen Reeves-Maybin blocked a punt that freshman Devaun Swafford returned 15 yards.
Georgia regained the lead when Murray's career-long, 57-yard keeper led to Brendan Douglas' 3-yard touchdown run on the first play of the fourth quarter. Tennessee answered on a 1-yard burst by Neal, who had kept the drive alive with a 43-yard run on a fourth-and-1 play.
Neal had Tennessee just a few seconds away from delivering the first signature win of Jones' tenure, but Murray refused to let the Bulldogs lose.
"We finished the drill," Murray said. "That's something we preach all the time here at Georgia."

Three people injured this morning in a serious collision in which one vehicle flipped over and the other burst into flames are all expected to survive the crash, Shrewsbury police said.
The accident happened about 11 a.m. on Route 20 at the entrance to the Olde Shrewsbury Village Shopping Plaza.
Police said it appears John Ford, heading east on Route 20 in a 2013 Chevrolet Avalanche, attempted to turn left into the plaza.
The Chevy SUV collided with a 2005 Subaru Legacy station wagon heading west on the other side of the road, police said. The Subaru was driven by Steven Diaz of Nashua, N.H.
The Avalanche came to rest upside down on the side of the road, while the station wagon ended up a few feet away in the mall parking lot, its front end smashed. The Subaru briefly caught fire, but the fire was quickly extinguished, police said.
Three people were taken by ambulance to UMass Memorial Medical Center -- University Campus in Worcester with injuries that were not life-threatening injuries, police said.
The cause of the crash is being investigated by Officer Richard H. Fiske, the department's accident reconstructionist.

Coach House Suite | Luxury Lake District Hotel Suite | Broadoaks Country House Hotel Cumbria
Coach House Suite
This is the upper balcony of the original coach house built in 1836. Things have moved on a bit since then but Top Coach House retains the charm and warmth of a bygone day through its original features including a high beamed ceiling. The room runs the entire width of the Old Coach House so it feels very spacious indeed.
You arrive at the bedroom up a private flight of stairs leading left into the suite and right to the private garden and Pagoda.
Inside the newly refurbished bedroom is a very Grand King Size Four Poster bed with a leather chesterfield style headboard. The bed is dressed with crisp white sheets, a luxury throw and matching cushions.
Inspired by the Crown Jewels housed at The Tower of London, the graceful damask Cole & Son in "various shades of grey" reflects the delicate decoration within the historic royal palaces.
We have recently fitted a very funky "Duo" Japanese soaking tub into this room. This deep bathing tub allows you to try the oriental style bathing position of sitting shoulder deep in soothing hot water. Perfect for those wishing to luxuriate, relax and have that feel good factor from indulging oneself.
At the end of a long hard walk, this soaking tub will ease away any aches, pains, stress and strains.
Additionally, the tub allows you to enjoy the additional benefits of Chromotherapy and Hydrotherapy at the same time as the bath is fitted with four chromotherapy lights which can generate 11 colours and 5 light programs: Energy, Tonic, Relax, Sun & Dream.
Colour, like bathing, is a sensory experience. It can stimulate, relax, soothe, regenerate and refresh. As the scent of bath salts or the flicker of candles can influence our bathing experience, so can the powerful psychological properties of colour. Immerse yourself in a pool of colour and your mind and body are infused with the qualities that each individual shade brings and of course the bathroom comes complete with our exclusive range of Noble Isle toiletries all in big 300ml bottles for your maximum enjoyment.
If you would like to treat your partner why not organise a little something on arrival, from chocolate dipped strawberries to champagne - click here and find the perfect surprise for your loved one.
Interesting room facts:
Mattress: Tempur
Wallpaper: Cole & Son Regalia
Special feature: You will find a comfy leather corner sofa along with some beanbags at the end of the room, this room is great for "chillaxing" in at the end of the day
"The kids loved the huge sofa bed and the room was easily big enough to accommodate us all, there was even enough space on the sofa for us all to enjoy a film together"

My name is Flo (or Flo Mo to my friends) and I would like to welcome you to "my" lovely hotel - Broadoaks Country House which offers dog friendly accommodation.

- Only Two "small to medium sized" dogs (up to 30kg) allowed in each dog friendly room
- Collars, Leads & Tiaras must be worn when in the main house and grounds

- No howling, barking (or in my case singing) in the house or you will be asked to go and sit in your car or naughty corner

- We are allowed in all other public areas including the music room and bar, we also have a field at the back of the house that can be used for morning exercise …yippee no leads required!
- Poop bags and specially designated poop bins must be used

OK so now that all the formalities out of the way! Let's talk about the most important things FOOD ……. I have worked very hard with our chef Sharon and our food suppliers to put a special menu together for your stay (see below). I hope you like it, if you do have any special dietary requirements then just let us know before you arrive and Sharon has promised me that she will do her best to prepare something to suit your taste buds.
One last thing if you really don't like dining on your own in your room and want to dine with the grownups then if we are not too busy (less than half full) we can sometimes let your parents eat their posh evening dinner in the bar, then you can sit under the table (this option can only be accommodated at certain times of the year when we are very quiet, and may only be confirmed 24hrs in advance of your stay).
It is a nice treat for your parents to dine in our lovely restaurant, so I would always recommend staying in the bedroom watching my favourite movie "Garfield", that way everyone has more fun!
Ps I hope you enjoy your stay at Broadoaks.

5. Facing a lot of star power throughout the team's 2013 season schedule.
The Ravens, who have the NFL's fifth-toughest schedule based on 2012 records, will play a lot of good teams in 2013, including seven that were in the playoffs a season ago. But they must also butt helmets with some of the NFL's standout individuals. Star quarterbacks Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers all got votes for NFL Offensive player of the Year last year, as did stud wide receiver Calvin Johnson. Running back Adrian Peterson, who won that award and was also named Most Valuable Player, is also on the schedule. So are NFL Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt (above) and the runner-up, Von Miller. Yikes.

STOCKTON - Crews could soon begin digging in Linden to potentially recover more victims of a pair of notorious serial killers.
STOCKTON - Crews could soon begin digging in Linden to potentially recover more victims of a pair of notorious serial killers.
San Joaquin County Sheriff Steve Moore sent a letter to the county Board of Supervisors on Friday recommending the group spend part of its Tuesday session discussing an expenditure that would essentially green light a large-scale excavation.
If approved, Drill Tech Drilling & Shoring, Inc. would receive a contract for an estimated $126,900 to dig in Linden in hopes of recovering victims of Loren Herzog and Wesley Shermantine, whose drug-fueled killing spree spanned several decades.
Exactly where the digging would be and when it could begin have not been disclosed. Earlier this year, the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office recovered the remains of six victims from seven crime scenes during excavations of a Flood Road well in Linden and rural property in Calaveras County.
Both Herzog and Shermantine were convicted of multiple homicides in 2001. From his death row cell at San Quentin State Prison, Shermantine steadfastly denies killing anyone and insists he only helped Herzog dispose of victims.
Herzog was paroled in 2010. He hanged himself in January after receiving word Shermantine intended to tell authorities about additional burial sites.
The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office handled the processing of the Linden site. However, Moore and his department received criticism from the public and elected officials for initially blocking Shermantine's attempt to physically come to the area to point out areas to dig.
The Sheriff's Office is also dealing with accusations that the family of JoAnn Hobson, 16, received commingled remains after the agency processed the Linden well.
The well, which authorities say contained roughly 1,000 bone fragments, was the burial site for Kimberly Billy, 19; Hobson; an unidentified teenage girl; and a fetus.
Moore said earlier this month the FBI would be the lead agency in any future excavations and the Sheriff's Office would only provide logistical support.
The Sheriff's Office confirmed a dig could take place in its jurisdiction shortly but did not say if it would on the same property as before or a separate location.
The FBI is expected to split the costs with the county, leaving San Joaquin County with a bill of roughly $63,450, according to Moore's request. Moore said the county's portion will come out of the pockets of the Sheriff's Office, mainly from funds not spent on filling vacant positions within the department.
The total bill could change if the effort takes longer than the 80 hours currently budgeted for or if additional equipment is required.

By the time you hold your new baby in your arms for the first time, chances are you've already chosen one of the most important people in your little one's early life — a doctor. You and your baby will probably visit the doctor more often during the first year than at any other time.
You may have had a prenatal visit with your baby's doctor-to-be to discuss some specifics, such as when he or she will see your newborn for the first time, office hours and on-call hours, who fills in when your doctor is out of the office, and how the office handles after-hours emergencies. You may have also learned the doctor's views on certain issues.
In this way, you've begun to forge a relationship with your baby's doctor that should last through the bumps, bruises, and midnight fevers to come.
Depending on your desires and the rules of the hospital or birth center where your baby is delivered, the first exam will either take place in the nursery or at your side:
Your baby will be given a first bath, and the umbilical cord stump will be cleaned. Most hospitals and birthing centers give personal instructions (and sometimes videos) to new parents that cover feeding, bathing, and other important aspects of newborn care.
The hospital or birth center where you deliver will notify your child's doctor of the birth. If you had any medical problems during pregnancy, if your baby might have a medical problem, or if you're having a C-section, a pediatrician or your baby's doctor will be standing by to take care of the baby.
The doctor you've chosen for your newborn will give your baby a physical examination within 24 hours of birth. This is a good time to ask questions about your baby's care.
A sample of your baby's blood (usually done by pricking the baby's heel) will be screened for a number of diseases that are important to diagnose at birth so effective treatment can begin quickly.
Every newborn should be seen and examined at the doctor's office within 3 to 5 days after birth and within 72 hours after discharge from hospital. If your baby is sent home sooner than 48 hours after delivery, your doctor will want your baby to be brought to the office for a check within 48 hours after discharge.
During the first office visit, your doctor will assess your baby in a variety of ways. The first office visit will differ from doctor to doctor, but you can probably expect:
Also, if they're ready, the results of screening tests done on your newborn after birth may be discussed with you. Jot down any specific instructions given regarding special baby care, and bring up your questions or concerns. Keep a permanent medical record for your baby that includes information about growth, immunizations, medicines, and any problems or illnesses.
Babies are born with some natural immunity against infectious diseases because their mothers' infection-preventing antibodies are passed to them through the umbilical cord. This immunity is only temporary, but babies will develop their own immunity against many infectious diseases.
Breastfed babies receive antibodies and enzymes in breast milk that help protect them from some infections and even some allergic conditions.
Infants should get their first shot of the hepatitis B vaccine in the hospital within 24 hours after birth. Babies will get more vaccines in the coming months based on a standard immunization schedule.
Call your doctor if you have concerns about your newborn. Some common difficulties to be aware of during this first month:

STOCKTON - A 16-year-old convicted murderer will spend 21 years in prison for shooting a homeless man to death because the teen wanted to see if he had the guts to kill.
STOCKTON - A 16-year-old convicted murderer will spend 21 years in prison for shooting a homeless man to death because the teen wanted to see if he had the guts to kill.
Deantre Darnell Crawford was 14 years old when he took the life of 38-year-old Francisco Victor Menesses, who was on his way back to a homeless encampment from a nearby store.
Stockton police were dispatched to Lincoln and Worth streets about 4:30 p.m. Sept. 9, 2011. The area is known to those who inhabit it as "the jungle."
Officer Bradfor Delk testified in a preliminary hearing to being flagged down to the nearby railroad tracks under an Interstate 5 bridge. "I wound up finding a body lying there," he said.
Menesses was last seen alive riding a low-rider style beach cruiser bicycle away from Ben's Market, where he had just purchased a bag of ice, according to court documents.
When Menesses' body was found in bushes, the bicycle, which belonged to his girlfriend's son, was missing, court documents say. The ice bag had melted. Menesses lived with his girlfriend in a tent just 20 to 30 feet from the crime scene.
For a few weeks, investigators had no eye witnesses and limited surveillance footage.
But thanks to Crawford spreading his story among peers, there was a break in the case.
Crawford was doing community service for a juvenile offense and during a work assignment chatted with fellow juveniles.
One, who was 17 years old at the time, came forward.
During community service, Crawford rapped and sang songs about guns, the witness testified.
"He said he had a .22. He talked a lot about that. Mostly about that," the witness said. "We were picking up trash in the parking lot and he told me that he used it against somebody and he shot somebody.
"He indicated killing animals and stuff before. But he told me he saw this guy walking with a beach cruiser bike and he shot him once ... he said he saw the guy, like, crumpled, and like, and then, he came up and shot the guy a second time."
Crawford told him that he then took the bike home. Crawford was bragging about the crimes, the witness said.
Crawford's exact words, according the witness: "I wanted to see if I had the guts to do it."
Medical examiners determined Menesses died of two fatal gunshot wounds to his upper right back. The victim had cirrhosis of the liver, and examiners found drugs in his system that included morphine and methadone. But neither of those factors contributed to his death.
Crawford, charged as an adult, pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and admitted to firearm enhancements in a deal with prosecutors. Theft charges were dismissed.
Crawford was sentenced June 25 to the maximum term of 11 years in state prison for voluntary manslaughter and 10 more years for three enhancements.

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare progressive multisystem disorder that predominantly affects women of childbearing age. It occurs in women who have tuberous sclerosis, and also in women who do not have a heritable genetic disorder. LAM is characterized by the spread and uncontrolled growth (proliferation) of specialized cells (smooth muscle-like LAM cells) in certain organs of the body, especially the lungs, kidney and lymphatics. Common symptoms associated with LAM include coughing and/or difficulty breathing (dyspnea), especially following periods of exercise or exertion. Affected individuals may also experience complications including collapse of a lung or fluid accumulation around the lungs (pleural effusion). The disorder is progressive and, in some cases, may result in chronic respiratory failure.

It can be helpful to see the dentist before beginning cancer treatment. When possible, cancer patients should have a dental examination two weeks before treatment begins to help identify and rule out any infections in the mouth.
Some side effects of chemotherapy can cause oral health problems (such as infection) which may result in stopping or delaying cancer treatment temporarily. If the mouth is unhealthy before chemotherapy starts, the person may be at higher risk for other health problems.
It is important to discuss the best oral disease preventive strategies with your dental professional. Ask if a prescription fluoride gel or rinse may be helpful in preventing the development of cavities. Other suggestions are:
"Chemotherapy and Your Mouth" - a booklet of the National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research - contains more information on health for patients undergoing cancer treatment. This booklet is free, and 50 copies can be ordered from the NIDCR on the web link. The booklet is also available on this link as a PDF file to download and print out. These NIH/NIDCR materials are not copyrighted and duplication is encouraged.

"Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative."
Hi all, a new composition for the Viola. I apologise in advance for any wrong notes!I conceived of the idea of this when playing the Bach Prelude to the Cello Suite No.3. I thought to myself- "The preludes to all the suites are the best bits. Shame there aren't any for the Viola..."I decided to write a suite of 6 Preludes for the Viola corresponding to the 6 pieces in Bach's Suites and the 6 suites (and partitas) in Bach's collections for the Violin and Viola. There is the introduction, which is a prelude to the preludes, and 5 preludes that are also slight variations on the thematic material. The piece explores different moods, before ending with No.5- which starts as a chordal variation with a minor middle section, which instead of recapitulating as the theme from No.5; ends with the Introduction again.I hope you enjoy this work! Please like it if you enjoyed it, and subscribe to me if you haven't already, and I'll keep you posted in my goal to write a ton of repertoire for the best, and most underappreciated and underwritten for instrument- The Viola.This Suite is dedicated to Sarah-Jane Bradley, my Viola teacher at the Royal College of Music, for being the best teacher a teacher could possibly be.
Based on the melodic idea of the beginning of Walton's Crown Imperial march, this prelude is part of a series of 10 comprising my "Opus.3".
"My dear EV, it is too exquisite for our ears; there are far too many notes in it." : )
Not at all too long; my smiley at the end was to indicate a Philistine commenting on a genius. Am I right in detecting influences of Beethoven (#6), Sibelius and Copeland – a tremendous evocation of open spaces and a portend of something not so pleasant to come and disturb the scene?
Background would be helpful. Has the piece a name? Is it written to depict something?
The beauty of your work is that you don't know what's coming next, but when it does, you know it is what it should be.
Can I say that the developed theme (c. 4:30 -> 6:00) is beautiful? Very precise, yet flowing. And the sudden stop (there must be a musical term for that) at ~6:30 is masterful. Then the new variation on the theme – you have the Bass drum exactly correct.
I was initially dubious about the suddenness and volume of the "car-horn" (1:20 -> 2:30) I still have reservations but I put much of it down to the low quality headphones I have. I was looking for that Bass Drum that you use a little later, or perhaps something a little softer and very slightly more lingering - very slightly… some slight fade.
I often stand in awe of people who can string together a few notes; the complexity of what you have done is remarkable, and to get it so right… :speechless:
I have written it loosely based on the opening of the Rachmaninov 2nd Symphony.
The main point of my instrumentation is to showcase the Cor Anglais,
The context is that some time ago, when I was about 13, I was almost going to give up Music. I was distraught because my Violin playing was abysmal; I had the wrong teacher …I then switched to a new piano teacher, the head of Piano at my school. He listened to me and treated me as an equal for the first time as a musician.Out of the blue 2 months ago, our head of music told us that this amazing man, the old head of piano, was very ill. He had terminal Cancer…The front of the score features a passage from the letter I wrote him: "And as the symphony of existence comes to a close, as the applause begins and the music fades, this concert may be approaching its final moments,But that little boy sitting in the front row, mouth agape, will grow up, and the baton has already been handed over to the next generation, and the music will never truly die." I'm also basing it on one of his favourite composers- Rachmaninov.
This piece details my struggles through that period up until the present day, and illustrates the different emotional nuances with which I can express that annoyance, grief, happiness, love and vitality. The happier variations in the earlier first movement are also wistful, giving way to explosive anger and frustration, but with still a childlike simplicity that pales against the more imposing sounds surrounding them. The constant staccato quavers are anticipatory, ever-moving and drive the work forward, not losing that precious momentum built up by the unstable nature of the tempo and harmony.
…this movement took me just over 450 hours to complete
I'm sadly lacking in Rachmaninov – I will seek him out. From what you say, I suspect the romantic yearning for the open and dramatic spaces of Russia.
Massively underrated – a beautiful instrument.
That's quite beautiful and I know it gave him much pleasure to read and know he was appreciated – you have a way with words too.
I hope this is written down somewhere other than here. In many years time, when students have to study the work of EV, the music critic will not have annoy everyone by indulging in wild speculation.
Hmmm…. Let me see… Composers' rates = £200/hr = £90,000… Are you listed on the Stock Market? : )
OK. I listened to the whole piece three times and the opening six times. I was expecting the "Good King Wenceslas" opening to open as a positive playing followed by a distant echo (a la Beethoven's 5th) and then break into the carol with some enthusiasm. Not only did that not happen, I heard no more of King W. When I first heard the opening, I thought they were tuning up. Three repetitions of music and their echo are too many and I felt it did need to develop into the variation on King W. Your whole piece was also sometimes challenging for the players – you required all of them to play together at some speed. I felt that this was overstretching them just a little. If you are not dealing with seasoned professionals, I'd keep away from fast, unfamiliar pieces for the entire ensemble.
A notable exception was the familiar "Jingle Bells" in which a successful balance was struck, I felt the musicians knew where they were going, were confident without being cavalier and here we had the sleigh, the speed, the cold, the flurries of snow and general winter themes pleasingly intermingled and portrayed.I'm glad I listened three times, but twice would have done, as by then, like all memorable pieces, I was listening in anticipation rather than for my own expectation.I don't think it one mark less than your earlier piece but it is a worthy follower.
Tell me, (i) when you write the music, is it all in your head or do you write it to a computer program that can play it back as if there were an orchestra there? (ii) Now you have hob-nobbed with royalty, are you expecting something in the Queen's Birthday Honours?
Oh yes, the poster - restrained, tasteful and magnificent. Whoever did that was a genius; a beautiful and eye-catching work that captures the tone of the concert.
I tell you what – that was magnificent. I am now seeing your style come through, which is quite distinctive and maturing towards a continuity and overall balance. The final part of the piece was the best music you have written – so far. But that is not to say that the earlier parts lacked anything, though I do have my reservations about the odd sudden dramatic chord – that said, it is part of your signature.Even had I not seen the dedication, I would have taken it that it was part autobiographical, part biographical. I found it quite moving. To me, it told a story. At first, I placed it in the style of the end of the 19th century but then changed my mind and saw it as a timeless warm afternoon in an old study; the sort of placed you'd find at Oxford or Cambridge. Relaxed, confident, assured, friendly, but with a hint of foreboding rising every now and again – life is going on.I have saved it to my favourites.
That was entertaining. For some reason it brought back memories of when I was in college and we used to sneak into the concert hall in the evening and fire up the pipe organ and play "disrespectful" tunes on it. We would then go and similarly defile the harpsichord. I just took up singing again after several years inactive.
