It also seems hardly worth driving miles to a slope, only to find there's more chance of landing out than staying airborne, so I think I may stay local and set out the bungee for the Whisper, as long as the sun makes an appearance. I know one doesn't need the sun to be out to catch thermals but, with the luck I've had this year at thermal soaring, I need as much help from the sun as possible.
Anyway, we'll see, the weather man has been known to be wrong before.

It is a place that dates back to the stone age but it is also a place that is wonderful these days to go for a walk on a summers day to absorb the beautiful coastline around. Hengistbury Head is situated in Dorset, near Christchurch and between Bournemouth and Mudeford Quays. It is a Nature Reserve that is also important to archaeology as it has played a key part in history.
Hengistbury Head is owned by Bournemouth Borough Council and the aim of the area is to conserve and enhance the environment of the area. It is part of the Dorset Heaths and is a protected area.
The area is a very popular tourist attraction for people who love to walk and in the last ten years, the pathways have been resurfaced so that they are acccessible to everyone including wheelchair users. There is a cafe at the bottom, access to coastal walks and even a visitors centre.
I used to live in Bournemouth and this is one of my favourite areas, it is so pretty, it has some great walks and the views of Mudeford Quays are wonderful. On a bright sunny day, you can really see for miles along the coastline.

New Arrival at Mary's!
He's not mine. He's Emma's. Emma has been lobbying for a dog of her own, a small dog, for quite some while. She
wore me down won me over, and I conceded. Small dog.
He's small, all right… At 1.9 kg (4 pounds) he's a smidge overweight, though at only ten weeks, he has a fair bit of growing ahead of him. He's a miniature poodle/Shih Tzu cross, which makes him, officially, a "Shih Poo". Emma, however, is seventeen. Is she calling him a "Shih Poo"? She is not.
She is calling him a "Shit Poo". Of course.
He's a lap
top dog.
His name… is Romeo.
And what does Indie, our resident dog, think of him?
Well, after careful inspection… "It smells like a dog"…
"Though I dunno… do dogs come that small?…"
They discovered that they have at least a few doggie interests in common…
Hey, you guys! Don't be chewing the shoes!!
15 Comments »
How cute! I must confess; at 41 I too would be calling him a "shit poo".
Hee. (We all do, too… Particularly the husband.)
Comment by Bethany | December 29, 2010 |
He is impossibly gorgeous Mary! Just as well, 'cause although he's not yours, he surely will be in a few years when Emma leaves home – no?
The plan so far, barring unforeseen events, and pending university acceptances, is for her to start university in the fall. She plans to live at home during her studies, so he'll be around for four years, at least. After that? She wants to take him with her! (And I shall let her. Adorable as he is, I have quite enough things to look after, thanks so much.)
Comment by Maisy | December 29, 2010 |
He is SO cute. I love his beautiful blue eyes.
The pictures were a surprise to us, because though they sure are blue in the pictures, in real life, they look quite, quite brown. So… are they blue or brown? If that was just his eyes reacting to the flash, they'd shine red (no?) so I guess they really are blue… even though most of the time they look brown.
Comment by Sarah | December 29, 2010 |
So cute. what does the kids say about the soft toy doggie_
They haven't met him yet. I'm off until next week!
Comment by suza | December 30, 2010 |
omg! he is sooooo cute! we are giving in and getting our kiddos a pup in february! love the name—hate human names for animals, so the naming i think will be tough for us!
I don't like human names for dogs generally, either, but then this isn't my dog, and I didn't name him. As it happens, for me Romeo isn't a real name, (though I'm sure I'd feel differently if I were Italian!). It's undeniable: As my husband says, "He has 'adorable' down pat!"
Comment by Dana | December 30, 2010 |
Pups' eyes can be a bit cloudy to start with, may be that.
I'd not even mention the cross breeds to Squiffany. She talks quite enough about poos and bums at present – school is evidently a bad influence! In front of her, he'd simply be a mongrel and proud of it!
I once attended a lecture in university on "Swift's Excremental Vision". Very erudite, indeed. I'm sure, if Squiffany could understand the vocabulary, she would greatly enjoy the concept… I confess that we 19-year-old undergrads spent an unseemly part of the two hours sniggering. Tout ca change…
Comment by Z | December 30, 2010 |
So cute, and I don't like dogs. Have the day care kids met him yet?
No. I'm off work this week. Not back till Tuesday. It will be fun, though I suspect I will be protecting the pup from too much
rough handlingenthusiastic loving.
Comment by jwg | December 30, 2010 |
He's so darling!!!
My sister had a yorkie poo for all of three weeks (she also has severe OCD and the germs finally got the better of her) and she was the cutest little thing. I love tiny dogs! And I love those pictures! They made me all warm and fuzzy inside (o:
I am not generally a fan of small dogs. They're so often yappy, they're so often SO badly behaved (though I know that's their owner's fault), and the truly teeny ones (not Yorkies, which, while usually yappy, are sweet as the dickens) look more like insects to me than dogs. Maybe I'm scarred by the recollection of my piano teacher's chihuahua (Ringo), who, when I was eleven, would hump my ankle like crazy whenever I sat down at the table for the theory part of my lessons… But Romeo? I am a fan of Romeo. He is cute as cute as cute can be, he loves being cuddled above all things, he's not sexually overwrought, and he's not keeping me up at night. What's not to like??
Comment by Kristy | December 30, 2010 |
A friend of mine in high school had a shit poo, I never knew that wasn't the real name!
Well, really. The real breed is pronounced "Shit-Zu". Why would you change the pronunciation of the first syllable just because the second syllable is "poo"?? Okay, I know why, but it's not logical!
Comment by Morgyn | December 30, 2010 |
One of my best friends in highschool had a "Shit-Zu!" Cutest little guy, ever!
LOVE the blue eyes! (Even if they aren't that way in "real life!")
(We took a family photo recently and I had not noticed until sending it to a friend that while all of us humans had "red-eye" our dog had green eyes in the pic! Hers are either a brown or a decidely vacant, endless something-or-other-not-green in real life!)
You never know what those photos will show! 😉
Comment by LoryKC | December 30, 2010 |
OMG! He looks exactly like nemo did as a puppy! Identical, even down to the blue/brown eyes! Train him, train him, we spoilt nemo and he now is a pain! Apply your childcare principles! Dont be fooled by the cuteness, small dogs have big ideas…
Comment by jenny | January 1, 2011 |
Congrats and Happy New Year!
Comment by QandleQueen | January 2, 2011 |
We have a 12 year old Shih-Tsu Poodle mix. She's a dear. Definitely not yappy, though she does bark when people bring their dogs by our house on their way to the park behind our house. I hope you enjoy Romeo as much as we enjoy our Snickers! (By the way, I've been told that small dogs, especially young ones, have trouble regulating their body temperature. It has proven true for Snickers. We live in Portland, Oregon and she wears a sweater about 6 months of the year to keep warm!)
The vet told us the same thing. In fact, she said "they don't tolerate cold OR heat well". (What is the poor baby doing living in Ottawa??) So Romeo has a little coat and teeny booties. He hasn't worn them a lot yet, since the temperatures have been astonishingly mild (hovering right around freezing). But we take them with us, nonetheless, and if he starts shivering, we put them on! (What will we do in the summer? Buy him a teeny speedo??)

How to: Wall Liners
Wall liners seem like a lot of extra work if you're only going to cover the wall's surface with paint or wallpaper after installation. In the long run though, the treatment lasts much longer and will not have to be redone since the liner provides the best surface for holding paint or wallpaper, says Family Handyman.
Bridging vs. Blankstock Liner
There are two types of liner to choose from, each with a different purpose. Bridging liner is thick and doesn't have a texture. It is designed to hide imperfections in the wall, such as cracks or grooves. This type of liner can be covered with wallpaper or painted. Blankstock liner is thin, blank pulp paper. It does not cover problems, but it does provide a smooth, strong surface to hold wallpaper. Both types of liners stop shrinkage, which in turn keeps seams tight and invisible. They also stop the wallpaper from damaging weak walls or loose paint.
Wall Liner Preparation
Walls must be clean, dry and free of any loose paint or plaster so the liner can stick. Wash the walls with ammonia or trisodium phosphate (TSP). Scrape away peeling paint or loose plaster. If the surface is slick, such as a wall painted with high-gloss paint, or wood paneling, apply a thin coat of gripping primer or wallpaper primer. This creates a lightly textured surface for the adhesive to grab. Let the wall dry completely before hanging the liner.
Marking and Measuring
Liner is applied in a "railroad" pattern, or horizontal on the wall, instead of vertical, reveals Steve's Blinds and Wallpaper. Measure the width of the wall where the liner will be applied. Cut the strips to this length. Mark a horizontal line across the wall using a level to make sure it is straight. This line should be located the same distance from the ceiling as the width of the liner so it can be used to hang the first strip.
Wetting the Adhesive
For pre-pasted liner, follow the manufacturer's instructions for wetting the adhesive. Typically, this involves dragging the piece of liner through a tray of water and letting it sit for about 10 minutes to become tacky. For unpasted liner, mix the adhesive according to the package directions. Lay the paper out flat, face-down, and brush the adhesive onto the back. Pay special attention to edges and ends.
Hanging the Liner
Fold the wet or pasted strip of wall liner in an accordion pattern with the glued side facing inward; this makes the strip easier to handle while hanging. Start in a corner at the ceiling and hang the liner along the edge of the horizontal line. It should be flush with the edge of the ceiling, but it may be necessary to overlap the edge and cut away the excess after installation if the ceiling is not straight. Continue hanging strips in the same manner until the wall is covered, butting each strip up against the next so the seams are as small as possible.

Bon Jovi Bring Hit Parade to New Meadowlands Stadium
Back in October of last year, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band committed the old Giants Stadium to the mercy of the wrecking ball with an epic farewell party. Eight months later, it's only fitting that Bon Jovi, the Garden State's second most-famous sons, were on hand to christen the New Meadowlands Stadium, delivering a two-hour-plus hit parade for 55,000 fans.
Check out photos from Bon Jovi's opening night show at the New Meadowlands Stadium.
"New Meadowlands Stadium: I like, I like, I like," frontman Jon Bon Jovi said as he greeted fans in his new back yard. He was right: the new arena is far superior to the old one. The seats are comfier, the lines are shorter and, as the band began their set, the PA system sounded infinitely crisper than the previous one, which frequently reduced most performers to a blaring, messy noise. However, Bon Jovi did run into one snafu when the sound gave out completely about 45 minutes in to the set. And while the band seemed oblivious to the deafening silence heard through the rest of the stadium, fans rallied quickly to show their support, turning the group's 1984 breakthrough hit "Runaway" into a jubilant sing-along.
Once the PA recovered, Bon Jovi unleashed a string of their most well-known songs, including an electric medley of "Bad Medicine" and a cover of the Doors' "Roadhouse Blues." The band then toned things down a bit with a semi-acoustic set. After Jovi and keyboardist David Bryan walked to the front-lip of the walkway, the group ran through a reverential take on Leonard Cohen's gorgeous ballad "Hallelujah." Stripped down versions of "Something For The Pain" and "Someday I'll Be Saturday Night" also added to the campfire spirit. But then Bon Jovi unleashed one final dose of anthemic, stadium rock: a firework-studded "Keep The Faith" and raucous, show-closing versions of "Wanted Dead Or Alive" and "Livin' On A Prayer." Fans greeted these classics with euphoria — and you could tell from Jovi's beaming smile that he never gets tired of witnessing it.

EDMOND, Okla. (AP) -- The mayor of the Oklahoma City suburb of Edmond has died.
Mathews Funeral Home in Edmond says Mayor Charles Lamb died Tuesday. He was 72. A cause of death has not been released, but The Oklahoman reports that Lamb complained of fighting a cold during a Monday night City Council meeting.
Mayor Pro Tem Elizabeth Waner, who is now acting mayor, said in a statement that "we are incredibly saddened and shocked" by Lamb's death.
Lamb served on the City Council from 1993-2011, when he was appointed mayor after the resignation of then-Mayor Patrice Douglas, then was elected mayor in 2013. He was re-elected in 2015 and 2017 and was again running for re-election in 2019.

A father and daughter project that began life in a small workshop on the fringe of Auckland, Douglas and Bec is now both a bricks and mortar retail store that, fortunately for the rest of us not living in New Zealand, is now selling online as well.
Stocking their own lightning products made with materials of solid timber, spun metal, linen, leather and blown glass under the name of Made by Douglas and Bec, the father and daughter design duo work with talented local artisans to create a collection that has a sense of purity and integrity to their design.
Not ones to rest on their laurels, both Douglas and Bec have recently joined up with designer Kate Sylvester to collaborate on some of their designs – which we have to say makes a pretty good grand trifecta for the world of design.

Earlier today, Canada Post tabled an offer to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW-RSMC).
The offer builds on an earlier one presented on September 7, 2018. It provides wage increases in every year of the proposed agreement, improved benefits and makes no changes to employees' pension.
The improved pay and other changes in this offer go beyond the pay equity ruling on September 20, 2018, including pay protection for employees after a restructure.
In a letter to all CUPW-represented employees, the Chair of the Board of Directors and Interim President and CEO Jessica McDonald explains how we address concerns in both the RSMC and Urban groups and confirms the company's commitment to work with CUPW to grow and improve the business.
While the conciliation process has concluded, talks are ongoing with the help of a mediator, and Canada Post continues to work toward a negotiated settlement.
The collective agreement between Canada Post and CUPW-RSMC expired December 31, 2017 but the terms and conditions continue to apply for now.
We will continue to keep you informed of key developments through your team leaders and the Negotiations Hub.
Read here the detailed summary of the offer tabled with the Union.

You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'WILM 1450' category.
The educational department of the University of Delaware is ranked 31st in the nation... That is at least out of 5000 accredited teaching schools…
Not only that, they are 31st in the top ranked educational teacher training country in the entire world… Apparently there is no educational crises in America when it comes to teachers receiving top notch training.
Overall, the top 10 countries in rank order are the United States, Sweden, Switzerland, Canada, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Australia, Singapore and the United Kingdom….
What just passed last Thursday in Delaware, now requires the University of Delaware, again now ranked 31st in the top educator nation in the world, 🙂 to be judged solely on how its teachers administer Common Core when they go out into the field…
Common Core?
Just how good is this Common Core we are talking about?

One would think someone in Legislative Hall would have at least looked into Common Core before mandating that the 31st best teaching institution in the best ranked nation for turning out good teachers, would have to be judged on its effectiveness by the results of a program everyone is having so much trouble with.
Progressives are against it. Tea Party Advocates are against it. Democrats are against it. Republicans are against it.. Red States are against it. Blue States are against it. How could this be? Could it be possible they all have children?
In fact, it appears there is no one who is in favor of common core, across this entire great nation we are so fortunate to live in… No one except 59 Delaware legislators, who apparently didn't get the memo…..
Jump out squads are the new topic. What a dumb name. I glad Mayor Williams is distancing himself from such. It is funny how names get formed. I think it was Mayor Baker or Sills whose press agent when pressed, was the person who named them such? It may have seemed like a good idea at the time, but a better name would be something that is less aggressive.
Of course sounding tough as an intimidating factor always makes one feel big. But it also acts in a different way. It imposes upon a community their powerlessness. First against the criminals, Then against the justice system.
Both Williams and the Police Chief know this!.
A city's police force is there as part of the city residents life experience, and their job is to protect the good of which they are apart and diminish the power of the bad, the criminal element.
A better name would be something like: "Citizen's Response Team". For after all, they are there only at the behest of citizens who want their neighborhoods to be safe. Let the criminal elements call them "jump out squads";… let that be the word on the streets. But officially, a name that conveys the idea that the police are just an extension of society at large, they are there to do what society wants, is far more appropriate in this case than one of surprise and intimidation.
Neighborhood society has no problem with these individuals involved. Most grew up there; they've known them since they were little kids. The problem is crime, and every individual in a neighborhood has a choice on whether they want to side with crime, or side with stopping it….
The election on September 11th, I think emphatically gave a mandate that a very large majority of Wilmington sides with those forces stopping it.
Now there is something every citizen can do….
I messed up. As I pulled of the side street and onto the main street, a parked car held me up, It was some type of SUV with New Jersey plates. Leaning into its passenger window, was a big black dude, scruffy beard, Army issued overcoat, black pants, who as I pulled up, backed away, and as the car pulled off, the crossed the street in front of me….
If I'd been thinking, I could have pulled my phone, looked like I was talking or texting (as do 99% of Delawareans when they are behind the wheel anyways), and clicked a picture of the car complete with plates and the guy doing the drop.
I could have then sent that to police.
Police later show up at the house of the car's owner, Ask what they were doing at that location. Who was in their window? Then monitor any call going out from that house that says: "Dude, you better be careful…someone's on to you… Really man? What did they say?"
So, what if the police advertised a hotline or email address or account where anonymous picture of licensed plates of drug deals in progress, could be drop loaded? How many citizens of Wilmington would love to turn in the street bully they're deathly afraid of, but can't because no system exists where the information is completely untraceable?
Why hasn't this been thought of before?
Rule is: these pictures can never be used as court evidence and be traceable. They can only serve as probable cause, upon which all secondary evidence can then be admitable….
And it would cost nothing.

I just love right wing humor… It is so funny… Ha, ha,, .. stopping abortion with a gun… Hilarious… Can we have some more please…
Ma'am? After we've given you the abortion, we're required by Republican law to take you out back and shoot you execution style. Good news, is that modern science gets to use both your body and the fetal tissue at the same time! How great it that? (slapping knee gasping for air)
Or how about this….
Ma'am? I'm Rick Perry, Uhhh, you just had an abortion, right? I'd like you to just stare at this little hole right here for a second…. see how perfectly round it is? Oops…. lol.. (sore ribcage hysterics)
Btw, if you support really good humor that makes fun of all blacks, women, Hispanics, Chinese, those with college degrees, federal employees, and encourages people to blow up courthouses in Oklahoma City, please patronize these radio stations right here in Delaware… We need more humor like this! I haven't laughed so loud in hours… Ha, ha, ha… Require each one occur with a gun… What a wit…..
You can now hear Rush Limbaugh heap additional humorous insults on these Delawarean stations…..

Marriage in Quarantine: How to Safeguard Your Relationship in These Stressful Times
Robert Emery knows a thing or two about nurturing marital relationships. In addition to being a professor of psychology at the University of Virginia, he is the director of UVA's Center for Children, Families and the Law. Bob, as he likes to be called, has also for many years run a small private family counseling practice.
His 1982 Psychological Bulletin paper, "Interparental Conflict and the Children of Discord and Divorce," was designated a "Citation Classic" by the Institute for Scientific Information. Since then, he has written more than 150 scientific papers and many books, including "Two Homes, One Childhood: A Parenting Plan to Last a Lifetime," his fifth book on divorce and his second aimed specifically at parents.
It's no secret that quarantining has introduced new levels of stress on relationships. Families are spending more time together than ever, which sounds quaint. But all that togetherness can rob spouses of what Emery says is a critical element of successful marriage: individualism.
When we reached out to Emery to ask what advice he has for married couples, the first thing that sprang to his mind was a quote from a poem by Kahlil Gibran called "On Marriage," which is often woven into marriage ceremonies.
It reads: "And stand together yet not too near together/For the pillars of the temple stand apart/ And the oak tree and the cypress grow/not in each other's shadow."
Here's what Emery had to say about marriage during quarantine.
Q. What are the issues you are seeing in your practice since widespread quarantining began in March?
A. It's the same issues that you see with couples all the time. Money, kids and sex. Those are still issues, but everything has become magnified or the differences are becoming magnified with people being trapped inside with each other.
Don't get me wrong. There are some good things about that. People are rediscovering things like the pleasure of going for a walk or working in the garden and enjoying more downtime with each other. Maybe that was more fun the first few weeks or months, but time has passed and it's getting old.
Q. It seems like spending more time together would feed a marriage. Is that not the case?
A. It's one of the things that couples, particularly younger couples, need to learn, especially in this age where we have so many expectations from our partners, is that togetherness is great, but we also need some separateness in our relationships as well, which is why I always have people read that Kahlil Gibran poem.
Q. How do you achieve that when you are sheltering in place with your family?
A. It's not easy. That's part of the problem. Couples should understand that it's not only OK to do this, but it's good for both of you and your relationship to do something a little different and separate.
At a very simple level, we're getting boring. What do you have to talk about after staying home for a few weeks? Not much. So, if you go out and do something, whether it's a socially distant visit with a friend or going to a restaurant or a winery – visiting it with appropriate caution – or playing that tennis match, having something new and different to not only stimulate yourself, but something new to talk about to bring to the relationship. It's really important to do those things. I play tennis, my wife goes for long walks by herself.
Q. You recommend couples have regular date nights. What does that look like?
A. People, particularly after they have children, forget to invest in and nurture their relationship. When I say "date night," I'm not just talking about having some alone time. I'm talking about treating each other the way you used to treat each other when you used to go on dates; romancing, dressing up.
Q. What do you advise when neither spouse will compromise on something, whether it's disciplining children or taking COVID-19 seriously?
A. Usually, there is a deeper issue at hand. If it's the kids, maybe what they need to do is have a clearer structure that will set clearer sets of rules and expectation. So, it's not a disagreement on when a teenager should get their license or when their curfew is, it's a broader disagreement about how much freedom a child should have. There is usually a surface issue, but it often boils down to one of two issues. It's an issue about love or it's an issue about power.
Q. Can you expand on the issues of love and power?
A. My superficial example is the stereotype of a husband who's constantly coming home late from work and his partner is complaining and asking, "Why don't you call?" He says "I'm not going to call. You're being so sensitive."
For her, it's really an issue of love. "You don't care enough about me to call? Show some care and concern." But, for him, it's not about love, it's about power. He doesn't want to be told what to do. Couples need to get down to some of these basic issues and understandings of "I feel loved," and "I am afraid of being controlled," if they are really going to solve the problem.
Q. What if during this pandemic, one spouse is being more careful and following the safety recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the other is not?
A. I think in that circumstance, it's important for the person who is less afraid to try to be reassuring and realistic, but also to be respectful and not dismissive. And if they are able to draw the other person out, as opposed to bullying, and reassure them and make them feel more comfortable, that's a great thing.
Q. What do you recommend when, in a family with young children, the onus of child care is falling disproportionately on one spouse even though both are working from home?
A. I really feel for couples with young children. It's a lot of work and pressure. It's really important to give each other a break. For parents, where it's not going so well and they're really having some conflict, what I find to be really essential is to put some structure around their expectations. So, "You're going to be in charge during this time and I'll be in charge at this time." That sounds kind of simple, but lots of people avoid having structure and want things to be fluid.
Q. Families with teens and young adults in the household are trying to balance being careful about COVID with allowing their children to safely socialize outside of the home. Say Mom is cool with that, but Dad is constantly worried one of the kids is going to come back home and infect everyone. What's the solution here?
A. Rule No. 1 is to talk about this stuff. Lots of couples don't talk about what's bothering them. Instead, they give each other the silent treatment or just get angry or resentful or think their partner is not willing to compromise. So, rule No. 1 is always, "Let's talk." And not just about the situation, but the feelings caused by the situation.
I try to help people, even if they don't agree with one another, to understand each other's feelings, which is huge. I'm a big believer in emotional understanding.
Maybe, the mom who is saying, "Sure, go out," she's feeling really, really bad for her first-year student in college and she remembers what a great time she had. The father probably feels exactly the same way. So, they're both worried about this specific thing.
Q. Unemployment or the fear of becoming unemployed during the pandemic is also fraying marriages. What can couples do to support one another?
A. I think in terms of marriage, when you're dealing with an immediate crisis like this, the crisis of losing a job trumps the importance of having fun in a relationship. At a time like this, everyone has to come together to find a way to survive. We can worry about being happy in our marriage later on. Survival comes before production. In that situation, it's just, "Let's just deal with the crisis." This is no time for complaints. It's a time for support.

3 Tips from Someone With Experience
What Research About Can Teach You

Actually, this is an old recipe from my trusty arsenal. This post for Cheesecake Swirled Fudge Brownies contains some of the first photos I ever took that I was really proud of.
Now, not so much. HA.
But though I may look at all the "photography successes" of my younger days (um... like everything previous to last year) down a snobbishly upturned nose, I at least have to give myself a little credit for the invention of these babies.
If you're like me and you like the super gooey richness of a somewhat underbaked brownie, DO NOT CHANGE A THING ABOUT THIS FABULOUS RECIPE.
But. If you are a boring person and like your brownies to have a slightly less... raw quality, you may want to add ten minutes or so to the baking time.
Also, if you did look at the old pictures I took of these brownies back in 2011, you may notice that the brownie batter looks super thick. Well, I don't know why, but it just turned out to be less thick this time. I make these brownies all the time, so you would think I would know what the "normal" consistency of the batter is, but... I don't.
Pretty much though, whatever the consistency is you'll just want to dig one trench in the batter at a time to pour the cheesecake into. There's no such thing as being too sloppy. It's called rustic.
Have fun.

With systems based on air treatment to make an optimal greenhouse climate, Van Dijk heating seemed to be ahead of the game for a long time. The gas price was low and so was the urgency to think about alternative systems for greenhouse heating. The energy crisis is changing all that. At their head office in Bunnik, the Netherlands, they have noticed, although they are not overjoyed.
"You can look at it in two ways," says Sales Manager Joek van der Zeeuw. "At current gas prices, the payback period for an investment in our Active Ventilation System (AVS) is considerably shorter than before. That is positive. However, growers do need to have money left in their pockets to invest. With the current gas prices, that is a cause for concern."
Joek notes that it is 'human nature' to only start improving when the pressure is high. "That is happening now. Even though you always have pioneers who take certain steps earlier, the masses usually follow later. In the past, you could see that when growers switched to CHPs, for example. When it turned out that there was money to be made, many did the switch at the end of the 90s. Innovation and looking ahead are extremely important to us. For example, we have our own R&D department. Recent developments mean that in the near future we will be working full of focus on both greenhouse climate systems and a sodium remover. In the latter case, we are anticipating legislation that will demand this. Legislation in the Netherlands is often the red tape that sets innovations in motion, apart from the innovativeness of growers, of course. They certainly shouldn't be underestimated."
Van Dijk heating has already gained experience in the market with the various AVS systems in recent years. The AVS systems are available in various versions: in addition to a regular version, there is also one with heat recovery and one with an additional cooling block. Since 2019, the AVS system has been tested in KAS2030 at Wageningen University & Research. Researchers are anticipating gas-free cultivation and are conducting trials there with potanthurium, gerbera, freesia, and strawberry. Joek: "It was noticed that gas-free cultivation works better with crops that evaporate well. Potanthurium does not. If it is humid in the greenhouse, condensation quickly forms on the façade. You then need to adjust the humidity in the crop. We offer that solution with air treatment in the form of various AVS systems."
Joek does a lot of international work for Van Dijk heating. He knows the necessary examples of projects where growers opted for AVS systems. "A grower in New Zealand did not consider air treatment for a long time, but when it turned out that the government might not guarantee gas, alternatives were considered." The heat pump came into the picture. "But for those few weeks with peak power, that's a serious investment for the grower, and for only a few weeks." Adapting the crop to remove that peak power is another option. "By growing with a stable basic capacity, the investments in the technology are different. Year-round air treatment also benefits the quality of the crop."
Abroad, CO2 is often not taken into consideration when making choices, Joek observes. "The margins are higher there. If a grower has to choose between the high costs of constructing a gas pipeline (with which the grower can also produce CO2 when heating) or a few weeks of slightly lower production without CO2, the choice often falls on the latter. They are then prepared to accept a slightly lower production without CO2.
AVS system at grower Seasun in Kapelle, the Netherlands
This is not possible in the Netherlands, Joek knows. "Here, CO2 is required in cultivation to calculate margins up to four decimal places. Without CO2, and therefore a lower production, many growers will not survive. It makes the step to gas-free cultivation without CHP and therefore CO2 production much more difficult." He does know growers who have already done it. "In Kapelle in 2018, Seasun had 1/3 of its new 13-hectare building equipped with an AVS system with heat recovery. They wanted to respond to all-electric cultivation and are now gaining experience with this. Experience that will come in handy in the future when gas-free cultivation becomes a reality, while in the meantime air treatment also improves the quality of your product."
Gas-free cultivation is often not yet a reality. Joek sees alternatives to gas, including hydrogen, but immediately notes that hydrogen is not the answer. "Combustion does not produce CO2. Growers here in the Netherlands desperately need that CO2."
Another example shows that the investment in an AVS system does not necessarily have to be made in order to achieve 'gas-free' cultivation. In this case, an example from Norway. After switching one of his greenhouses from HPS to LED lighting, a cucumber grower there opted for an AVS system with heat recovery. "This grower saw electricity becoming more and more expensive, but then missed the radiant heat of HPS when growing under LED. By using air treatment with heat recovery, the grower now brings in that heat and saves on energy consumption at the same time."
For a second greenhouse, the same grower is looking for a different solution. "That greenhouse is closer to the boiler house. It still has HPS. The grower is considering harvesting energy here with a heat pump. It shows that even for each grower there are often several options. Moreover, this example can easily be compared with growers in the Netherlands, also because it is a grower who is adapting his existing greenhouses. I expect the latter to happen in the Netherlands in the next few years because of the high energy prices."
For Joek and his colleagues, it is important to spar with growers as much as possible to find out what the stumbling blocks are. "I am a techie. I know greenhouse horticulture, but I can always learn a lot from growers. Besides, I think there are more perspectives on the climate than there are growers. He cites another example. "I once visited a grower in dark and cloudy weather. It was cold in the greenhouse. I can always wear a T-shirt in the greenhouse, it is usually warm enough there. This was not possible on this occasion, because, the grower argued, in cold and dark weather 'the plant doesn't do anything anyway', so there was little point in putting in much extra energy."
Creating air movement in the greenhouse is something they strongly believe in at Van Dijk heating. "You can achieve this air movement in various ways using different techniques, but we strongly believe in growing under overpressure. Unlike moving air to and from the greenhouse wall, as happens with ventilators, you get a very even climate with this. We push warm air outside. This means you won't see a cold fall through a hole in the screen, as sometimes happens. What's more, with a closed screen, without radiation, and with overpressure, the temperature distribution in the entire greenhouse is more even. As a result, the temperature difference in the greenhouse is 1 degree Celsius with, moreover, a gain in quality for your product. If energy is not already a reason to make investments, then there is always the quality."
AVS system in chrysanthemum cultivation, seen here in a greenhouse at Delphy
Now it is a case of waiting to see what the energy crisis does, Joek notes. "Fortunately, innovation does not stand still. On the contrary. In the chrysanthemum sector, we are busy upgrading our air handling units to a very high capacity for multilayer cultivation in cuttings production. From 700 cubic metres we are going to 1300 cubic metres for this project, with the possibility of cooling in the future should this be necessary."
