Tonight Daniel and I finished building this pretty thing.
When Nataley was here a few weekends ago, she helped us build the top of this table (she built it, really--I just handed her screws). The hairpin legs arrived yesterday, so Daniel and I added them tonight. Can't wait to share the whole process with you soon!
For now, I'm exhausted. We just painted trim for three hours (Daniel bought me a mask and we opened the door for ventilation). I took the trim around the floor of the living room and dining room, and this prego lady's back is not super happy with her.
Happy almost weekend!

Missile strikes on Syria at the weekend were an "act of aggression" which risk causing the outbreak of a wider conflict, a Russian diplomat has said.
Britain joined the US and France in mounting strikes on Syria's chemical warfare facilities after 75 people were thought to have died in a suspected chemical attack on the rebel-held town of Douma.
The ambassador of the Russian Federation to Ireland warned that Russia - the Syrian regime's principle backer - is losing "the last bit of trust" it had with the west, describing this as a "very dangerous development".
Speaking at a press conference in Dublin, Yury Filatov said the suggestion that Russia or Syria tampered with evidence to cover up the Douma attack was "absolutely ridiculous".
Mr Filatov told reporters: "We have to state that the situation around Syria has deteriorated significantly.
"Obviously that is the result of the reckless actions by Washington, London and Paris.
"What is going right now is they are making every effort possible to look for the face-saving exit of the situation they themselves created.
"We have to call things for what they really are. The fact remains that on April 14 the United States supported by the UK and France launched an air strike against military and civilian targets in Syria.
"That was an act of aggression against a sovereign state. It was done without mandate from the United Nations Security Council and in clear violation of the UN charter or any other conceivable international law.
"We certainly condemn that in most resolute terms."
Mr Filatov added: "The attack we have witnessed (air strikes) certainly brought the whole situation to the brink of a wider conflict which is in nobody's interests."
Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov has flatly denied that Russia had "tampered" with the evidence and insisted there was no proof that chemical weapons had even been used in Douma.
Mr Filatov suggested the strikes were intended to impede the investigation so nobody would know the truth, adding that experts have not yet found any traces of chlorine or any other toxic agents.
"As far as we can see there was no attack," he said, adding: "Not a single local resident was able to confirm that a chemical attack had actually taken place."
Mr Filatov said the suspected chemical attack had "definitely been staged", and said images had been "fabricated".
He denied that Russia was behind cyber attacks, saying that people try to depict Russia as being the "source of all evil" - something he described as a "really ridiculous concept".
His comments came as the UK and US issued an unprecedented joint alert on the threat of "malicious cyber activity" by the Russian state.
Meanwhile, UK Prime Minister Theresa May has accused Moscow of preventing inspectors for the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) reaching Douma.
Russian officials at OPCW headquarters in The Hague later said arrangements were being made for the inspectors to travel to the site tomorrow.

£1million boost for Mid and East Antrim Agewell Partnership
The award is from the Dunhill Medical Trust's Involving Many to Prescribe Alternative Care Together (IMPACT) Programme, which aims to deliver a wide range of activities, services and support programmes to at least 1,100 people aged 70 years and over in Mid and East Antrim.
This will be done through up to 13,200 funded "alternative care prescriptions".
Through Community Partnership Agreements, the services of GP practices, community pharmacists and staff from community-based organisations and public care services will be co-ordinated by local health and well-being hubs. If successful, the project could be rolled out to other local authority areas.
Mayor Audrey Wales said: "This will fund a new programme of community-based care and support for older people. This award is part of the Dunhill Medical Trust's £4 million Older People's Care Improvement Initiative, initiated in 2013 for the frailest people in our society."
MEAAP Project Development Officer Deirdre McCloskey added: "The aim is to pilot a model that supports our local older people's groups to provide alternative care in the community, by the community, in true partnership with healthcare practitioners and commissioners. Nearly £250,000 of the investment will go towards supporting local older people's groups to deliver social prescriptions like illness/condition support group work, befriending calls, luncheon clubs, healthy, physical activity and numerous related activities."

This year's crop is just great. Hardly any blemishes. Good size. And quite a few off the tree. The rain moved in, so we had to stop picking. So, two great things at the same time - apples and rain. (It's been an incredibly dry summer, so rain is an exciting and very rare event at the moment.)

How to save watermelon seeds
The 'Moon-and Stars' watermelons have ripened down in the vegie patch and are joining the late summer harvest flood up to the kitchen where they are eaten fresh or made into an icy drink on hot days.
Writing up a technique on how to save watermelon seeds seems almost too obvious to be worth the effort, but the various seed-saving handbooks offer some useful advice on the subject that's worth repeating…
A seed-saving friend lent me an old (first edition) copy of his American seed-saver's handbook, called Seed to Seed by Suzanne Ashworth. I have reproduced (below) some good practical advice on saving watermelon seed from this excellent book – a 'must' on every gardener's bookshelf.
"Many gardeners have trouble determining just when a watermelon is ripe. Counting the number of days from planting works only in those rare seasons when the weather is fairly normal. The plink, plank, plunk method of thumping is popular, but seldom reliable. Watching for the light-coloured patch, where the watermelon touches the ground, to change to the next darker shade works with some varieties. Probably the most reliable sign of ripening occurs when the small tendril directly opposite the fruit's "peduncle" (stem attachment) changes from green to brown and becomes dry."
"Children are great at saving watermelon seeds. When the watermelon is ready to eat, the seeds are also mature. Try donating watermelons to a teacher at a local elementary school with the following instructions. Gather a large group of children on the lawn, provide each child with a paper cup for the seeds, and make everyone promise to spit the seeds into their cup. When tummies and cups are full, collect the seeds in a bowl, add a squirt of mild dishwashing soap and wash the seeds gently. Washing will remove the sugar and saliva that remains on the seeds. Then pour the seeds into a strainer and rinse thoroughly."
I would add a codicil to this excellent advice; select the darkest and plumpest seeds and throw away the rest, particularly the pale immature ones.
Eggplant 'Tsakonikis'
From onions to cabbages
Life goes on in the vegetable garden; the onion bed has been harvested and the chooks turned in to clean out all the insect pests. This is the usual prelude to planting the autumn and winter crops such as broccoli, cabbage and various Chinese vegetables, now in the seed trays.
The flood of zucchinis is starting to wane at last, overtaken by a flood of cucumbers.
So its no rest up in the kitchen either; how to bottle cucumbers is an art form the cook continues to develop year-by-year.
With the long mild Adelaide autumn just around the corner, the gardener is still planting out bush beans, shallots and 'clump lettuce' while still working overtime to keep the water up to the existing crops so that they can cope through the on-going heatwaves.
Clump lettuce
There are innumerable jokes about lettuce, most of them corny, and some deadly accurate: -
Q: What water yields the most beautiful lettuce heads?
A: Perspiration!
Planting lettuces out one at a time is my idea of hell, so I have developed an easier method that can only be described as 'clump lettuce'.
First I make lettuce seed trays from old pie trays and pieces of wood, Chux wiper clothes to line the bottom and cable ties to hold it all together. This is then filled with potting mix to about two centimetres below the brim, mixed lettuce seed from my vast collection sprinkled liberally on top, then another centimetre of potting mix tamped down on top of that. This hangs out on the seed table for about six weeks while being watered each day with rainwater. By then it looks like this: -
No way am I going to separate all this seedlings one from the next and plant them separately in tiny holes along a string line.
Instead I hoe a furrow through my richest soil that has been turned over by the chicken flock, well watered beforehand then left for a further week to allow the soil to come alive again after this fallow period.
At 10cm intervals along the row, I plant 'clumps' of lettuce seedlings that are simply torn apart from the root-bound seedlings lifted out of the tray lines.
So what happens at harvest time?
The lettuces all compete for soil, moisture and nutrients in their space, and the cook wanders along picking the most tender leaves off what ever looks good for the salad.
This thinning process supplies us with regular salads without the hassle of digging out a whole lettuce and disposing of the root ball.
Once sowing has been completed (and only a few rows are sown each week to ensure different rates of maturation) drip lines are laid beside the lettuce rows and turned on, as such leafy seedlings wilt quickly. The mulch layer that covers our soils right through summer is returned around the individual seedlings to prevent evaporation from the soil surface.
The last step is to lay shade cloth or shade cloches over the seedlings for three to four days to give the ruptured root systems a chance to recover and spread out to find moisture.
Peach rain…
It's raining peaches, and its 'all hands to the pumps' as cook and gardener seek to stem the tide. Peaches are leaving the property by bag, basket and bucket. Up in the kitchen, peaches are being dried into peach leather, dried in the dehydrator, pureed and frozen into peach cubes for winter ice-cream, and dried in the fan-forced oven.
Down in the orchard, the cook's grand idea to allow the chooks to fossick in the orchard has had the direct consequence of hens burying newly-fallen peaches under the clean straw laid out to catch them, making peaches harder to collect and clean. There's nothing for it; we have to strip the tree or spend our days picking up dirty fallen fruit.
While this plan to bulk-harvest peaches had the benefit of simplicity it has, as always in the garden, flow-on effects for the gardener; seed trays need to be emptied to stack and store the peaches without bruising them. This gets done, but puts the kybosh on the gardener's salad-plant out planned for today.
Well, if you can't beat them, join them!
Saving the peach crop is now both urgent and important, displacing all other jobs.
So the gardener takes over fruit cutting, while the cook sees to all the sorting and drying processes.
Yet another long day in the garden, but these peaches are perfect, and we'll be enjoying them long after the memories and tensions of harvest-stress have fallen behind us.
Ah, but wait! – there are still three more later-varieties of peach trees carrying crops we have yet to contend with…

Women's World Banking often works with financial institutions which offer new products like microinsurance for low-income women. It becomes difficult to explain to women in the low-income group why they need to pay regular premium for health microinsurance even though in the future they might not even benefit from this investment if the physical condition is not included in the health plan and if they do not fall sick within a specified period.
To sell microinsurance the loan officer will not only have to persuade her clients to buy something that might be of no use for them but she also has to invest extra time per client in order to educate them about the product. Therefore financial institutions have to first convince the staff about the utility of the product in order to sustain it in the long-term. From an institutional strategic point of view it is important to train the loan officers about the importance of microinsurance. First, it offers a risk management tool to their clients. Second, it can offer clients a smooth cash flow during financial emergencies without incurring additional debt or risk-dipping into their hard earned savings.
From the institutional point of view training about selling microinsurance must translate to the loan officer's benefits as well. If the loan officer's clients have insurance:

Judge rules for lawmakers: No primary elections for NC judges
In the first year in decades that all judicial races will be partisan races, North Carolina will not have primary elections that allow the political parties to winnow the names of candidates who will appear on ballots this fall.
U.S. District Judge Catherine Eagles notified attorneys for the Democratic Party and North Carolina lawmakers on Tuesday that she plans to rule for the legislators in a lawsuit filed late last year.
The North Carolina Democratic Party contended that abolishing primary elections for judicial races violated its right to assemble and choose a candidate of its choice to appear on the ballot.
Eagles announced her decision as the filing period opened for candidates seeking the 140 judicial seats up for election this November.
"Republicans canceled an election and then ran out the clock on any effort to restore voters' right to choose their judges," Wayne Goodwin, chairman of the North Carolina Democratic Party. "While we'll wait to see the full order before discussing the impact, today's decision is a blow to North Carolina voters and rewards a Republican party determined to further rig our courts before losing power this November."
On Monday, there was much confusion in counties such as Wake and Mecklenburg, where the Republican-led General Assembly created new election districts for judges.
Over the weekend, Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed that bill, meaning the old districts that had been in place for years were the ones that candidates filed for on Monday.
Lawmakers have said they plan to come back to override Cooper's veto.
They have spent much of the past few years proposing changes to the courts that rule on the constitutionality of their laws.
Democrats have complained that doing away with primary elections for the statewide races could set up a scenario in which numerous candidates could run for a seat and the party would not have the ability to winnow the field to their candidate of choice. It also could mean that a candidate could be elected with less than 30 percent of the vote
Eagles did not provide her reasoning for rejecting the party's argument. She plans to file a fuller order.
Eagles ruled earlier this year that the Democratic Party was likely to be successful in the case and reinstated primaries for statewide races.
But a panel of judges from the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned her ruling in a 2-1 decision.
"We conclude that at this stage of the case, appellees have not met their burden in any respect," Judges Paul V. Neimeyer, a George H.W. Bush nominee, and Judge Stephanie D. Thacker, a Barack Obama appointee, stated in their ruling. Judge Diana Gribbon Motz, a Bill Clinton nominee, voted against it.
The judges added little else to their order, putting Eagles in a quandary at the trial. She asked attorneys how the evidence presented on Thursday was different from what they put forward in January. She asked what would be different this time, if the judges had not agreed with her previously.
Marvin Warf, an attorney representing the lawmakers, argued that nothing was different.
Edwin Speas and John Wallace, attorneys for the Democrats, disagreed.
They argued that the Democratic Party had been unduly burdened, and that lawmakers could have achieved their goal of studying judicial redistricting without eliminating primary elections.

A U.S. Army veteran, Vincenzino did his undergraduate study in Economics at the College of the City of New York, and received an MBA with a focus on Finance and Investments from Baruch College, New York. "As the challenges printers face increase and the pace of change accelerates, the insights we generate about where our industry is now, where it's headed, and what it takes to succeed become more important than ever," said Paparozzi. "Joe Vincenzino is a well-respected, seasoned economist who will help uphold PERC's long tradition of providing the best proprietary research and analysis in the industry.

Today I want to post about Butterick 5919. It is a 50's era – to me – dress, with front and back bodice gathers and a fun peek-a-boo back. There was supposed to be a bow in the back, but I only had 2 yds of fabric and I didn't find it necessary to have a huge bow at my bum.
While this dress was fairly simple to sew, I must have been incredibly distracted, because after reading the instructions about 10 times, I STILL managed to sew parts of the lining wrong -_-. I realized my errors and sewed the fabric correctly. Even after all that, the dress was surprisingly not as complicated as it looked.
It is sewn in a pink cotton narwhal print fabric that I think is just adorable! The dress is fully lined in a white cotton fabric.
Initially, I was nervous of the front gathers not gathering enough, but it was the back that did it for me. I did not have time to go get a button that was small enough for the back, so I used a broach to close it. I have a very narrow back, so the part under the "peek-a-boo" section was gaping. That can be easily fixed by adding darts the next time I make this dress. Also, this dress will not work with a regular bra, unless it is drafted to be higher before you cut. On me, a regular bra sat right above the peek-a-boo.

The age-old problem: What do nonbelievers do when everyone else is celebrating Christmas? Christmas Eve doesn't have to be the loneliest night of the year -- at least not if you're up for Jewish Storytelling and Chinese Food. That's the age-old solution. But where some entertainment groups have comedy shtick in a Chinese restaurant, Temple Israel in Alameda offers traditional Jewish stories (à la Sholom Aleichem, but hopefully in English for non-Yiddish speakers) told by New Yorker and "maggid extraordinaire" Arthur Strimling to go along with the Chinese goodies provided by East Ocean Chinese Restaurant in Alameda. The tab is $25 (reservations at 510-522-9355), or if you only want the stories, make a $5 donation. Temple Israel is at 3183 Mecartney Rd. in Alameda. For further info: 510-522-9355. -- Kelly Vance
Wrap presents. Open presents. Burn CDs so you can give belated presents while simultaneously sticking it to the man. Rinse, repeat. Watch the Macy's Day parade. Call your mother. Go see Return of the King or, if you've already seen it (you beautiful nerd), go see any of the movies opening today to take advantage of your day off. There's Cheaper by the Dozen, a loose remake of Walter Lang's 1950 comedy classic of the same name, this time starring Steve Martin; Cold Mountain, the much-anticipated Civil War drama with Nicole Kidman, Jude Law, Renée Zellweger, and her rocker love Jack White; John Woo's Paycheck, a dodgy-sounding sci-fi thriller starring B-Fleck, Uma Thurman, and that darling Aaron Eckhart; and the live-action Peter Pan. So put down the paper, already, and enjoy the day. -- Stefanie Kalem
Contrary to popular American belief, Boxing Day -- celebrated today in Australia, Britain, New Zealand, and Canada -- has nothing to do with discarded gift boxes, nor does it have anything to do with slapping your irritating brother-in-law upside his head. It's about giving to the less fortunate, whether they be your paperboy or -girl, or the lady who begs for change by your BART stop. What any of this has to do with birds is simply beyond us, but here you have it: The Tilden Nature Area is hosting a Boxing Day Bird Walk and Fete. Starting at 9 a.m., Alan Kaplan will lead participants on an interpretive walk, looking for the wren, "the king of all birds," so that it may, perhaps, bestow the gift of song on the poor, landlocked unfortunates. The walk will be followed by traditional music and refreshments. The nature area is at the north end of Berkeley's Tilden Regional Park, a short walk from the parking lot at the north end of Central Park Drive. Registration is required, and costs $5 for residents, $7 for out-of-towners. Call 510-525-2233 for reservations. -- Stefanie Kalem
Steven Spielberg and George Lucas' Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom takes the critical cliché -- "a roller-coaster of a movie" -- and plays it literally. The second installment of Indy's adventures among the fuzzy-wuzzies also has been criticized for its racism, but we should give Chabot Space & Science Center the benefit of the doubt. When it scheduled the Harrison Ford adventure flick as part of its "Indiana Jones Film Festival," it obviously intended it as a light-hearted time-waster for kids, an alternative to being cooped up in the house on a long holiday weekend. Ford eats all sorts of disgusting foreign food and pals around with Kate Capshaw, juvie sidekick Ke Huy Quan, and the usual mess o' snakes in the 1984 hit. It plays this evening at 7:30 at Chabot (10000 Skyline Blvd., Oakland).ChabotSpace.org or 510-336-7300. -- Kelly Vance
When you pronounce the first part of Bob le Flambeur, make sure you say "Bobe" (make it short, cut it off like your lips are hot) instead of "Bahhh-b." Next, rent a '54 Pontiac, put on your best cream-colored mohair sport coat, and slick back your hair. Better yet, dye it silver. Now you're in the mood for director Jean-Pierre Melville's 1955 gangster pic, starring Roger Duchesne as the dapper Parisian gambler who does all those cool French things, like arriving at Place Pigalle at dawn and planning a stickup of the Deauville casino. Bob screens today at 5 at Movie Classics by the Bay, a truly gorgeous place to watch old movies. It's followed at 7:15 p.m. by Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in Viva Las Vegas -- which in a way is the same film as Bob, but with color, laughs, songs, sex, and lips. You'll have to pay separate admission, though ($5 per). 2700 Saratoga St., in the old Alameda Naval Air Station. Info: 510-835-6187 or AuctionsbytheBay.com -- Kelly Vance
Putting together an extraordinary jazz band must be pretty easy when you're, oh, let's say, Yoshi's artistic director Peter Williams. Demonstrating the mighty power of networking, he brought together the Poncho Sanchez Band so that the titular specialist in Cuban, African, and Caribbean rhythms could do something unusual for his sprawled-out-over-New-Year's stint at the downtown Oakland club. Joining Sanchez through Wednesday will be Hammond B3 organist Joey DeFrancesco and former James Brown sideman Fred Wesley on funky trombone. Tonight's shows are at 8 and 10 p.m., and tickets cost $26. Yoshi's can be found in Jack London Square, 510 Embarcadero West, Oakland, and tickets can be purchased by calling 510-238-9200 or visiting Yoshis.com -- Stefanie Kalem

The ACT Opposition says first-time mortgage holders are paying more than ever for a house in the nation's capital. Opposition Leader Zed Seselja says new ACT Government figures on the first home owner grants show people are spending an average of $408,000. He says the record-high cost is evidence that the Government's efforts to improve affordability are all talk.He says it's misleading for the Government to say that first-home owners are better off now. "Clearly (the Government's) talking about it a lot but not getting it done," he said. "And if you add massive taxes like the units tax on housing, then that affects all home buyers, but I think it particularly affects first home buyers." Treasurer Andrew Barr is defending the Government's efforts to improve housing affordability, saying that government policies are having an impact on prices and rents, and accusing the Opposition of being misleading.Source: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-07-17/canberra-first-home-buyers/4135590?section=act

Back in the day it was that Web 2.0 video. A couple of years ago it was Do Schools Kill Creativity. We have this awesome tradition in schools of kicking off faculty meetings with a remarkable video. A big idea. An inspirational call to action.
XQ Rethink (above) is my pick for this year. Show it to your faculty this week. Not only does this video identify and frame the problem, it also begins to identify a solution. MIND BLOWN.
What do you think of the video? Will you share it with your faculty? What was their reaction? Let us know in the comments!

This is the collection we chose: It is the "Crayon Box" collection. I think it's perfect if you are a mom of both genders like myself!
Happy Monday Mama's! This post is for you.
Every January we like to get rid of things we no longer use, make better decisions and try to declutter our home. I don't know if you are like I am but we tend to end up with forty-nine sippy cups in our cabinet. Most of them that don't even have matching tops! In the past I have gone and grabbed a couple of new ones at a time and just end up with the same problem. More cups that we lose the tops too!
Barrett was putting away the clean dishes one day in November and said, "We seriously Need to get rid of all of these and just start over." And I completely agreed.
Of course as a mom health and safety for my babies are always the first thing I think about. I started doing some research on what kind of products would be the best fit for us and came across Re-play.
When we opened our replay box (of literally all the goods they offer) we had a little note card on top hat stated. "These products were made using 45 recycled milk jugs!" How neat is that? They are extremely durable and I have lost count how many times my husband has made a comment on how much he loves them. Besides the great quality they are also free of BPA, BPS, PVC, lead, phthalates and melamine. Now if that doesn't put your mind at ease then I'm not sure what will. It makes us wonder how we didn't come across these before.
So mama's, as always I want to share things that we find that we LOVE and I just know I have to share. You can find out all about Re-play HERE and shop the products down below! And if you have any questions I'm more than happy to answer them.

SA ICT workers approve of new president and cabinet
South Africa'a Communication Workers Union (CWU), representing labour in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industry, have responded positively to the election of President Jacob Zuma to the highest office in the land, as well as to the make-up of his new cabinet.
The union also welcomed the appointment of Siphiwe Nyanda as the new minister of Communications, saying it hopes the move would revitalize the sector.
Says CWU secretary general, Gallant Roberts: "Communication Workers Union congratulates the President of the Republic of South Africa; Comrade Jacob Zuma on his inauguration on the 09th May 2009. We also wish to extend congratulations to the President Zuma's Cabinet Ministers, whom we believe are capable man and woman drawn from the very core and fibre of our society to take South Africa to greater heights,"
"Communication Workers Union is particularly delighted about the appointment of the Minister of Communication and his Deputy. These appointments have bolstered our confidence and we are optimistic that working together with the ministry, indeed we can do better in the interest of workers in the ICT sector and the South African society in general."
Nyanda was appointed the new minister in the new cabinet this past weekend.
One Response to SA ICT workers approve of new president and cabinet
Smart ID cards goes hand in hand with a healthy National ICT infrastructure, which is a luxury in SA and the world. One Smart card for all, Id and Education and Health and…. Before losing more Sate Billions on something that is currently not in existence in the world, take a reality check on the world ICT (e-Government). Maybe being wakeup will spare SA humiliation regarding the most expensive ICT disaster in South Africans history, as many other SA ICT projects already added to this disaster list.

Terror Watch List Counter: A Million Plus [1]
Why are there so many names on the U.S. government's terrorist list?
In September 2007, the Inspector General of the Justice Department reported [2] that the Terrorist Screening Center (the FBI-administered organization that consolidates terrorist watch list information in the United States) had over 700,000 names in its database as of April 2007 - and that the list was growing by an average of over 20,000 records per month.1 (See also this new March 2008 report [3].2 )
By those numbers, the list now has over one million names on it. Terrorist watch lists must be tightly focused on true terrorists who pose a genuine threat. Bloated lists are bad because
- they ensnare many innocent travelers as suspected terrorists, and
- because they waste screeners' time and divert their energies [4] from looking for true terrorists.

Timothy Tiberius "Timmy" Turner is an English American 10-year-old boy and one of the main characters of the series. His Parents are rarely around and take little interest in him, which makes it easy to hide Cosmo, Wanda and Poof. He wishes for nearly everything he wants, which sometimes causes havoc. Timmy is fairly smart, but has a short attention span, which leads to failing grades (although often his teacher enjoys giving him an F even when he was correct). He marries Trixie (Or Tootie is a possible candidate, since Tammy resembles her) in the episode Channel Chasers and has two children named Tommy and Tammy (which is funny since Tommy is one of the names Trixie or even his parents mistakenly call him during the show). So far, he is one of the few 2D animated characters to have a crossover special with Jimmy Neutron, a 3D animated character. Timmy wears a pink shirt with a pink hat because Timmy's parents thought he would be a girl. He also wears dark blue pantyhose. Sometimes, he is shown in briefs and others in boxers.
Timmy comes from a middle class background which is often referenced. He is also indubitably selfish and wishes for things that will help him; nonetheless, whenever his wishes go wrong, Timmy works to set things right. Timmy's English background is mentioned when his great, great, great, great great uncle Nigel P. Turner was a upper middle class banker in 18th century London. His age is perfect as he does things a 10-year-old normally would do. Oddly, he always stays the same age even after his school had a summer vacation three times. Timmy's age difference is shown a handful of times. In the episode Baby Face he is turned into a baby to escape Francis's wrath. He is smaller and wears a pink baby cap. As a 16-year old he is very muscular with big arms and a sleeveless pink shirt. He is quite a few feet taller. As an adult, he is still muscular and a white shirt with a pink tie and same blue pants. In the bleak future, he wears a indigo suit with light black shoes. He loves comic books, video games, cartoons, junk food, and baseball. He is the average American boy.
Timmy longs to be popular and regularly stands up against teachers and bullies, and isn't above torturing his enemies for his own fun. Timmy wishes so many things away that an entire island had to be created as a storage for his "unwished" wishes. He is also shown to be addicted to wishing to the point that he lost nearly all of his resourceful and physical skill and needed to go to "wishing rehab," where he re-learns how to rely on his own skills again. In Fairly OddBaby, Timmy gets a fairy baby brother (who Cosmo has instead of Wanda) who he names Poof. In Wishology, Timmy is revealed in the Cave Prophecy in Fairy World as the one to defeat the Darkness and its forces. Actually it was supposed to be Turbo Thunder, but he fell asleep before the Darkness arrived. In a season six Fairly Oddparents episode, Timmy finally celebrates his 11th birthday.
It is seen in Add-a-Dad, while Timmy and his dad are playing catch, that Timmy is left-handed.
The concept of Timmy first came from series animator Butch Hartman's idea of a male version of Cinderella who is watched over by a fairy godmother.[1]

Ah Puppy Chow has been known by many names, Muddy Buddies, Monkey Munch, Sweet Millingers, Reindeer Chow, and no telling by what name you know it. I made this for the first time over 15 years ago. I liked it so much I carried the recipe in my purse for years. That was a time when I could not boil water. This is super easy to make its an addictive, peanut butter and chocolate, crispy and crunchy, sweet and salty treat that is a hit at all the parties and abounds gift baskets during the holiday season.
I know most of you have probably been making this for years, but I thought I would share it with the very few who aren't "in the know". There are some new versions of this old classic out there now and I will be posting those for y'all a bit later.
- 8 cups of Chex or Crispex cereal
- 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- In a saucepan over low heat melt the chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Remove from heat and gently stir in the cereal until coated.
- Pour powdered sugar into a plastic Ziploc bag. Add coated cereal and shake until well coated.
- Store in an airtight container.

Special 1815 Langes do not come by frequently. And one wihch is made with a special complication for to celebrate a retailer's Anniversary is even more special. The Kalenderwoche, or calender week is one example.
The use of week of the year, is a rather German business tool...many German business people would look up their calendar in search for a free spot would propose..."how about week 26?"...most of us, who do not use this style of numbering sometimes go, "ah?". Simple and of course logical enough, it refers to the week number from 1 to 52 for each week of the year. And to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the legendary Munich retailer Huber, Lange introduced the 1815 Kalenderwoche.
Introduced in 2006, and limited to 50 pieces in platinum, yellow gold and pink gold, the 3/4 plate is engraved with gold lettering "Andreas Huber Munchen 1856-2006"
The dial is beautiful, simple 1815 layout, with the additional hand, centrally mounted, to indicate the current calendar week.
Measuring 38.4mm, the new hand wound movement is the caliber L045.1, has two additional pushers which are used to adjust the calendar displays.

Kellogg is drawing upside option activity as the food company's shares trade in an increasingly narrow range.
OptionMonster's real-time systemsshowed that 2,857 April 55 calls changed hands yesterday in a strong buying pattern, most of them going for $0.20. The trading dwarfed both the open interest of 261 contracts and the average call volume of 18 per day at that strike. Overall calls at all Kellogg strikes outnumbered puts by more than 4 to 1.
- Options Tips from Jon Najarian
- Read The CNBC Stock Blog
- Options Tips from Pete Najarian
The cereal maker closed yesterday up 0.61 percent to $52.83. Shares posted 52-week highs over $55 in January but gapped lower on Feb. 4 after the company's fourth-quarter earnings came in lower than analysts had expected.
Since then the stock has been trading sideways in a tight range mostly between $52 and $53. That may be leading some technical analysts to believe that the shares are ready to break one way or the other.
Kellogg shares would need to rise at least 4.5 percent for the calls purchased yesterday to turn a profit before expiration on April 16. The company is scheduled to release its next earnings report on April 29.

"The first week of August hangs at the very top of summer, the top of the live-long year, like the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning. The weeks that come before are only a climb from balmy spring, and those that follow a drop to the chill of autumn, but the first week of August is motionless, and hot. It is curiously silent, too, with blank white dawns and glaring moons, and sunsets smeared with too much colour."
~Natalie Babbitt~
Things seemed to slow down a bit when August hits because it was the month when the heat of the summer seemed to be in its zenith. People walked without hurry, trying to conserve energy. Pasturing cows seek the shade of the trees which border their pastures, sleepily chewing their cud. The shadows were also lengthening a little earlier these days.
Gladiolus the birth flower for the month of August was blooming beautifully in the front garden. They represented remembrance, calm, integrity and infatuation. When offered as a gift, it meant 'love at first sight' and the lucky recipient's heart was being 'pierced with love'. How romantic…. but not in ancient Rome where gladiator battles were fought 'to the death or gladioli' where the victor was buried under gladioli by cheering crowds in celebration for winning the fight. It was from here that the flowers were known as the 'sword lilies' and referred to as the flowers of the gladiators. I think I'm going to plant more of these next year because they looked stunning.
August was also the month to look up into the night sky. The Perseids made their annual appearance as the Earth passed through debris shed by the comet Swift-Tuttle. The streaks in the sky, known as shooting stars, were grain of dust and ice shed by the comet that entered the atmosphere at 60 km per second, As they hit the atmosphere, friction caused them to burn up as they heated the air around them, causing the trails seen from the ground. The meteor shower named after the constellation Perseus, as when viewed from the ground the shower seemed to come from a focal point, known as the radiant, in the constellation.
We were up most nights in the cold waiting for for the hotly-anticipated shower to light up the sky. Unfortunately, we lived in one of the most light-polluted region in the country surrounded by brightly-lit motorways. We didn't see hundreds of shooting stars but we did see a few which made our nights worthwhile. We also followed the International Space Station which orbited the earth every 90 minutes and it never failed to appear as it was the brightest thing in the sky. Our necks complained from being used but it was worth it.
We started the month with a trip to one of our favourite playground, Bradgate Park. As usual, we weren't alone. It was still the school holidays and the sun had come out to play bringing families and children and dogs out to enjoy the day. The place was buzzing but the natives weren't enjoying the heat and the flies. They spent most of their time hunkering among the tall grasses, 'lying up' in the shade. They were lying down to ruminate between feeding bouts.
We took our photographs from a safe distance so that we don't disturb them. But there were many who came so close to take photographs and even selfies with the deer behind them. We nearly blew our head off when we saw this mother taking her young son with her to pose with the deer. Just look where she was sitting with her baby on her lap. There were at least a dozen male deer lazing about around her. Check those antlers out. These antlers started growing in the Spring and grew at a rate of 2.5 cm a day. The soft covering, known as velvet, protected the growing bone and shed in time for the Autumn rut. It will just take something to spook these boys up and they will start charging at anything. We hurriedly moved on.
We walked straight to Lady Jane's ruins passing a wedding photo-shoot, picnicking families, dogs running and children playing football. It was lovely seeing people enjoying themselves in the open. As we got closer to the ruins, we spotted a young Kestrel swooping down onto the ground and flew back to the wall empty-handed. We crept closer and closer watching and photographing its hunting behaviour. We were so close that we could see the piercing eyes looking intently on the ground. It flew down again but still missed. Unfortunately, a couple of kids running, scared it away.
In the ruins, we headed towards the top where we knew a herd of deer were about. The cries of the Green woodpecker echoed around us. But we were distracted by a small, noisy flock of birds flying and landing on the ground. We crept very slowly and from behind the fences, we spotted a charm of Goldfinches having a party among the thistles. It was lovely listening to their pleasant rambling twitterings and tinklings as they communicated with each other.
After taking our fill, we checked out the herd that were feeding among the bracken. We were so quiet that Babe literally stepped on a fox having a snooze among the tall grasses. Don't know who was more shocked :-0 . Unfortunately, there were no photographs as the fox quickly disappeared among the thick bracken. We walked among the anthills and spotted the family of peacocks. The chicks had grown up quite quickly too.
Then it was time to head back to the car. The heat was getting to us and a pit stop at the ice-cream vendor helped cool us down. We arrived right on time because a long queue had formed behind while I was waiting to be served. We enjoyed our ice-cream while making our way through the crowds which were still pouring in. By the entrance, a herd of deer were vowing the crowd and off course, we just had to take a few more photographs.
We also made our final visit to Bempton Cliffs for this year. Along the route, the fields that were yellow with rapeseed flowers in May had gradually turned brown. I loved seeing them turning different colours as the seasons rolled. The crops had already been harvested and only the stubble remained and in a few more days of sun, the last few hints of green will turn to gold . The wheat ears swayed in the breeze. Bales of hay arranged in different shapes were waiting to be collected.
We headed straight to New Roll-up The weather conditions were ideal for a close encounter with the seabirds. When the winds hit the high, chalky cliffs, it produced an updraft which the Gannets steered into and just hung in the air. We also spotted Linnets with their undulating flights, twittering happily as they flew and landed on the bare patches of the cliffs. The males were attractively marked with crimsons forehead and breasts. They were busy picking insects from the exposed soil. It was lovely to see them because they had become a Red listed species due to the changes in farming practices.
At Staple Newk, we saw Gannets with chicks that only hatched a few weeks ago, all the way to chicks that were now ready to leave. It was absolutely packed and lovely to see the different stages of growth throughout their 12 weeks on the nest. There were white fluffy balls, white powder puff, mottled older chicks and slate-plumed juveniles. On hatching, they were near-naked and brooded for the first 5 days. Then covered in soft, white down on the black skin. As months passed, they eventually shed the soft covering and sprout their first flight feathers which were black.
Chicks lose their down feathers during the second and third month as they developed the speckled plumage of the juvenile stage. When leaving the nest, they were almost completely covered in dark feathers. Over the next several years, their plumage gradually changed to white. When you see a Gannet with more black, the younger it was. It was not until they were 5 years old that their plumage was that of an adult with their orange, pink and creamy head. These cuties still had a very long way to go. The chicks shed their covering in a pattern which led Babe to affectionately named the stages from 'cotton bud' to 'balaclava' :-)
We watched from the viewpoint as the parents hovered above the rocks before making a perfect landing in their square metre of nesting real estate. We were hoping to see the food being regurgitated to their chicks. From time to time, their cackling calls could be heard. The parents fed their off-springs for 11-12 weeks After the breeding season, the adults dispersed and fly southwards for the winter.
~The White birds by William Butler Yeats~
Then we walked back towards the visitor centre. A few butterflies were spotted fluttering along the cliff-top and nature trail. The Peacocks were showing really well along with the Red Admirals, Large White, Green veined White, Small tortoiseshells and Small whites. There were plenty of Bird's foot trefoil, Red campions and thistles growing on the cliff-top fields providing them with plenty of food. The grassland area was carefully managed as nesting sites for farmland bird species like the skylarks and meadow pipits and as habitats for insects.
At the Grandstand, a few visitors were asking the RSPB volunteer if there were any puffins about. He said he hadn't seen any when Babe spotted one popping out of the crevices of the cliff and flew straight into the sea. After a few minutes of checking out the sea below us, he spotted it bobbing up and down in the water. These 'clowns among seabirds' spent the autumn and winter in the open ocean of the cold northern seas. At sea, they swam on the surface and fed mainly on small fish, which they caught by diving underwater, using their wings for propulsion.
We spotted a Kittiwake chick with its black-neck collar and dark zig-zag pattern on the upper wings on one of the ledges below us. Unlike other gull chicks, it remained fairly immobile. This kept them safe on their precipitous nest site. These young birds were always facing the cliff walls. As they were always on the nest , there was no special parental food call and the parents recognised the nest but not the chicks. Young birds had the distinctive bold black 'W' pattern on their wings during flight. We really missed the spring chorus of the distinctive 'kitt-wayke' from thousands of these birds echoing from the cliff-face.
This was the first time we came here at the end of the birding season.The tree sparrows were no longer nesting on the roof and were lounging around the bird-feeders and bushes. Their chirpings were quite deafening at times. It was strange watching the cliffs go from full capacity in June to almost empty. Guillemot were now wintering southwards and seawards while the Razorbills were spending their time out to sea, swimming in 'rafts' bobbing up and down the swell. It was very quiet and even the aroma was subdued:-).
"I stand on the cliff an gaze out across the ocean to the end of the earth, where the water dissolves into the sky and eternity is veiled in a mysterious blue mist. The breeze is as soft as a whisper and there is something timeless above the way it blows, as if it is the very breath of God calling me home"
~Santa Montefiore~
Another lovely sunny day and we made another trip to Draycote Water. Again, we were not alone. The car-park was full that we'd to park in the overflow. Then another obstacle when none of the parking meters were working. Aargh … we'd to walk to the visitor centre, put our car's registration number down and then went back to the car to put a note on the dash-board that the machine was broken. Not a good start on such a hot day, walking up and down. I'd forgotten whether we paid for the parking….
As usual, it was very quiet in the birding front. The fishermen in their boats were fishing very close to the shore pushing the waders away into the middle of the reservoir. But I don't think they were safe for long because a huge group of yacht enthusiasts were practising and sharpening their skills there. Since it was quite a huge lake (600 acres), the birds would be able to find a quiet place to feed or swim. Unfortunately, they were too far away for Babe to walk.
As we walked along the embankment, we noticed army trucks and tanks on top of lorries, parked near the farmhouse which was opposite the reservoir. Off course we took the opportunity to take a few photographs. Then we noticed a huge display board on top of an old tank in the field advertising for the Tanks, Trucks and Firepower Show which was on the August bank holiday. The 3 day event featured tanks, armoured vehicles from after WW2, military motorbikes, sniper displays, car crash demonstrations and plenty of explosions. I'm sure the show will go out with a bang :-)
We spotted at least a dozen Pied Wagtails with their looping flight and descending glide on the rocks. A Great Crested Grebe made an appearance but was soon driven further away from the shore by the fishermen's boat. I gave up walking on the pavement and walked along the meadows which was void of meadow flowers. Why did the authorities cut them so soon??? Along the fringes, I was mesmerised by the numbers of butterflies flapping lazily. Among them were the White veined white, Skipper and finally a Common Blue which I was so chuffed to photograph. Then it was time to head home.
As we drove on the road, we saw huge clouds of dust in the fields and noticed a harvester working. Woo …hoo. We'd to turn back to park on a lay-by. I stayed in the car while Babe walked towards the field to photograph the machines. I loved watching these huge agricultural machines at work. They were really amazing machines. The harvesting season had already started and the farmers were very busy. The meadows and grain crops were being gathered in. The saying 'Make hay whilst the sun shine' was so appropriate. How fast time flies in these glorious summer weeks.
We also took the opportunity to check out Airbase, a living aviation museum in Coventry and home to over 30 vintage planes. It was actually ' a safari park of old aeroplanes' winged masterpieces. The museum was an off-shoot of Air Atlantique's operation at Coventry Airport and featured the largest fleet of post-World War II classic aircraft in Europe. Many were unique and extremely rare. They represented jet and piston-engined aircraft, which include fighters, bombers, trainers and various types of liaison aircraft. These weren't museum pieces, standing polished, preserved but dead, behind roped barriers. Around Coventry, when we hear the gravel rasp of a vintage engine or the whine of an early jet, we always looked up and we always see these classic wings silhouetted against the Warwickshire skies.
The Classic Aircraft Trust was established in 2012 to form the basis of a lasting and sustainable organisation, with the aim of preserving a unique collection of airworthy aircraft of the UK's post-war era. These aircraft were previously owned by Air Atlantique and was now operating as Classic Air Force. The aim of the Trust was to preserve this unique part of British industrial and aviation heritage and to keep these aircraft in working condition. They sustained and maintained the skills required by yesterday's technology and kept historically important aircraft flying for tomorrow's generations to enjoy. These aircraft were also available for displays, flypast and air-shows all over the UK and around the world.
We browsed, photographed, climbed aboard and posed among the static displays on the grounds. And then, we checked the amazing indoor display which included a Canberra jet bomber which set the world altitude record of 71,000ft back in 1957, several Dragon Rapides, the workhorse of domestic air routes in the 1930s and 1940s, and the oldest twin-engined jet aircraft still flying, a Gloster Meteor T7. We treaded carefully around the working hangar among the oil spill, parts of old aeroplanes and the smell of fresh paint. As the aircraft needed preserving, there were skilled workers who stitched and doped fabric surfaces, overhauled a radial engine or landed a Dragon Rapide in a crosswind.
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air. . . .
Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or ever eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
— John Gillespie Magee, Jr
On one of the hottest day of the month, we and thousand of others made our way to Wales. It was so busy on the road that we missed a turn and drove on the A5 to Oswestry. It was much longer but very scenic. We then drove on the B4396 through a pretty village with black and white timber buildings called Knockin. We'd a good laugh when we spotted a shop called The Knockin' Shop. We must stop here next time just to get a photograph. Then we tailed miles of traffic on the A458 until Machynlleth. Because of the traffic, we went straight to Nanty-yr-Arian.
As it was still the school holidays, the place was buzzing. After using the facilities, we went straight to the bird-feeder. Siskins, Tree sparrows, Chaffinches and Blue tits were taking turns on the feeder. The Siskins were attractive birds with their intricate pattern of black and yellow on the wings and tail. I loved watching the parent feeding its chick which had more spots and streaks. Siskins were quite acrobatic as they fed on the feeder. Their calls were thin and high, with a peculiar yodelling and 'dluee' notes at the end.
"They fed on the alder and looked beautiful, hanging like little parrots, picking at the drooping seeds of that tree'
~J. Thompson~
Then it was time to join the crowd as they made their way down to Barcud trail. We noticed that the water level on the lake was so low that a few islands popped up. Mallards were having siestas and Pied-wagtails were chasing after flies. While waiting for the show to begin, I scanned the water near me and spotted these Damselflies having a rest on the stick, folding their wings along the length of their abdomen. I loved the way they perched, all facing the same way. A few pairs were seen flying together over the lake and eggs were laid within suitable plants, just below the surface.
Then it was piece de resistance. Hundreds were circling above us, flying magnificently with buoyant wing action, soaring gracefully with their long, broad wings deeply forked tails. Their high-pitched mewing calls were echoing around us. At 2 pm, the ranger scattered pieces of meat on the ground and unfortunately he didn't throw any into the lake. But, when a few birds started diving to the ground with their talons stretched out to snatch the meat, the dogs started barking and barking. This spooked the birds and they refused to come down.
A few of the photographers gave the owners some dirty looks as birds and dogs don't mixed. I think there must be a notice to inform visitors not to bring their dogs down during the feeding times. They and their dogs could watch the spectacle from the parking lot or outside the visitor centre. This reserve was for everyone but for just an hour during feeding times, the birds and also visitors who come to observe and photograph them should be able to do so peacefully. We'd seen this so many times and it does put us off but since we love this part of the world so much, we just bear and grin it.
After about half an hour, a few birds managed to swoop down for the food but they were far in between. So we gave up. We drove straight to Aberystwyth and parked at Tanybwich beach at the furthest south end of the town. The beach sand and shingle beach was overlooked by the imposing Iron Age hill fort built in 400 BC and Pen Dinas with its prominent memorial in the shape of an upturned canon that commemorated Duke of Wellington's victory at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. There were sightings of dolphins in the Cardigan Bay from here and we were hoping to see one. Unfortunately, they didn't get the memo to turn up.
We scanned the rocks below us and spotted a flock of Rock Pipits. They were very easy to miss, with their inconspicuous greys, olives and buffs blending with the seaweed as they hopped, walked and ran foraging for food among the rocks and boulders and along the shore-line. Sometimes, they launched into the air, uttering their loud and tuneful songs before parachuting to perch on a few prominent rocks. In South Wales, they were known to the fishermen as 'Rock lark'.
I walked to the breakwater lighthouse and watched the waves beating on the sea defence. The views of Aberystwyth town centre was absolutely stunning with the Cliff Railways in the background and the castle ruins in the foreground. The shingle bank at the back of the beach was now a nature reserve and was part of the coastal path. I walked along the River Ystwyth towards the reserve which still carried elevated levels of lead, zinc and silver in its water, mostly due to seepage from abandoned mine tailings and discharges from mine adits. I didn't walked far and had to turn back because the path was littered with dog s__t. Yuck!!!
We drove into the city centre and found a parking space outside the Old College. Babe stayed in the car while I went out to buy something for lunch. Having fish and chips by the pier had become a tradition for us. It was lovely watching the world go by under the watchful eyes of a pair of gulls who were watching us (and our food) with great interest. We never feed any of the birds because this will only encourage them to get close to humans and led to their aggressive behaviour that was often touted in the news. As soon as we finished, I carefully packed away the boxes and put them in the bin with the two following me. Shooo…
Then we drove over to one of our favourite places in the world, Llanon, a very tiny village along the A487. It was where we lived in a very tiny old stone cottage with a fireplace for nearly 5 years. We didn't drop by our old place just because we want to keep those memories and not see how much it had changed. Instead we drove straight to the very stony beach where a newly-wed was posing for photographs. When we lived here, we used to bring our jeep and drove it along the stony beach. It was soo much fun.
Never make your home in a place. Make a home for yourself inside your own head. You'll find what you need to furnish it - memory, friends you can trust, love of learning, and other such things. That way it will go with you wherever you journey.
~Tad Williams~
Then it was time to head home, I was hoping to see the sunsets but it was still very early. We stopped at this well known landmark, on the A487 overlooking Llanrhystud. Cofiwch Dryweryn or 'Remember Tryweryn' was a reference to the Welsh village near Bala that was flooded in 1965 to provide water for Liverpool. It was painted by Dr Meic Stephens, a writer and critic. The slogan was painted as a reminder to the people of Wales of 'the treachery and suffering, the anger, the agony and the disruption that took place when the Liverpool Corporation were given the go-ahead against public opinion in Wales to drown Tryweryn, without paying a penny for it'!!! Quite poignant to stand in front of it and think of the story behind it.
Apart from trekking up and down the country, I added another skill to my portfolio. I am now uploading content on to a digital collection management system known as CONTENTdm. It consisted of a server on which content was stored and a web-based content discovery interface. It provided a means of making a wide variety of media types such as images, journals, books, maps, newspapers, audio and video files accessible for search and display.These digitised resources from the library and the Modern Record Centres were part of the Warwick Digital Collections. It was a challenge learning something new but I am up for it.
I also joined a yoga class during my lunch break every Wednesday at the PG Hub. It was part of the Health and Wellbeing activities and work-life balance. It was mostly for students but staff were allowed to join in too. The tutor was a very flexible yogi who was a breath of fresh air. Yoga was an ancient form of exercise that focused on strength, flexibility and breathing to boost the physical and mental well-being. It don't look strenuous, but the stretching and breathing does make you breathless. The best part was when we were laying down to recover, she went round and gave each one of us either a foot or neck massage. Bliss. And before, we left she offered us raw vegan chocolate balls to gain back our energy. Yum…yum.
On Wednesday evening too, I registered for a cooking class with the Cook and Eat Well, a project funded by Public Health Coventry and delivered by Groundwork West Midlands in partnership with the Community Health Learning Foundation. It was a free 9 week healthy cooking course which centred around developing cooking skills, healthy eating and cooking from scratch. It was held at the Ribbon Court in Foleshill at 6 pm which was a pain. I finished work at 5.30 pm and had to dash across the city centre and often arrived at about 6.20 pm. Thankfully, theories were delivered in the first hour and the cooking only started at 7pm. There were 10 of us from all walks of life. I am really looking forward to better my cooking skills and off course, make new friends too.
CC and I also checked out the first live seafood restaurant in Birmingham which was creating a storm in the foodie world. Manchester Seafood was part fishmonger, part restaurant, with tanks at the front in which live fish, crabs, lobsters and eels lurked blissfully unaware that they will be on someone's plate. We walked straight in, down a corridor and found ourselves in an Oriental-ish restaurant. 60's pop music were playing in the background which was a shame for a Chinese restaurant. As usual, we asked for a pot of Chinese tea and it came with tea leaves floating in it. That was bonus points from me.
After perusing the extensive menu for nearly 20 minutes, we placed our orders. We'd the fried brown crab with vermicelli, sauteed prawns Szechuan style and fried tung chou (a Chinese spinach) with fresh garlic in fermented bean curd sauce. And off course bowls of steamed rice. The crab wasn't for the faint-hearted as we need quite a few surgical tools:-) to get at the meat. The prawns were yummy but the vegetables let us down because the sauce was a bit too fermenty. Sorry no photographs because we were too busy eating. The place began to fill up as we were about to leave. Would I come again? Not too sure. The food wasn't that amazing and the ambiance was lacking somewhere. We ate the food because we were hungry and we'd ordered them. It didn't make me swoon. But at least I'd checked this place out. Maybe, I'll return in a year's time…maybe.
Meanwhile, in the garden front, the vegetable beds looked a bit tired. But not the flowers. Fuschia, Rudbeckia, Hydragena, Dahlia and Borage were the last arrivals to the summer ball. The roses were still going strong. The last of the season's pollinators, including small tortoiseshells, red admirals, peacock. small whites and speckled wood feasted on the nectar and pollen before hibernating or flying south for the winter. The bird cherry tree which had white, lightly scented flowers in spring were now laden with small, glossy black, bitter berries and all the birds in the neighbourhood were there. The pavement were covered with splattered purple from the fallen berries.
