As summer vacation begins for students in the Washington County school system, we urge parents not to let students spend all their time off playing computer games and watching action videos.
It may take some persuasion to get them to see it, but reading can be just as entertaining as any video game, and is much more intellectually stimulating.
If parents aren't sure how to get started on this reading-promotion project, the Washington County Free Library can help with its "Reading Rules" program.
The program is designed for students from preschool to eighth grade. To sign up, come to the children's desk at the main library, at the corner of South Potomac and Antietam streets in downtown Hagerstown.

Unwrapping Pit Bulls
Never in recent history has there been a breed so maligned as the grouping of dogs called pit bull. Lower case pit bull is a generic term for any of several breeds and any mix of dog that is medium to larger in size, short haired, stocky and squarely built. The breeds often lumped into this generic term are: American Staffordshire Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Bull Terrier and its smaller "sibling" the Miniature Bull Terrier. The Am Staff and APBT are basically the same breed. They came from the same stock descending from dogs found in Great Britain. When the American Kennel Club recognized the breed, the name was changed to Staffordshire Terrier and later to American Staffordshire Terrier to reduce confusion with the Staffordshire Bull Terrier (a smaller breed) and to try and separate it from the APBT. The American Pit Bull Terrier is the United Kennel Club recognized version of the Am Staff.
The breeds that have become the APBT and Am Staff were originally what is called a "Catch dog." Catch dogs were used by farmers, butchers and hunters to grab and hold cattle or hogs or larger game like wild boar and bear. Eventually, people began to brag about the way their dogs could work and started holding events such as bull and bear baiting. The dogs were judged on how fast they could grab and hang, the tenacity in which they worked, etc. Dogs that were strong, tenacious, had a desire to work, courageous as well as good with humans were bred. The dogs were never developed to be human aggressive. It would be dangerous for a farmer, butcher or hunter to have a catch dog that was human aggressive. The owner has to be able to step in and remove the dog without worrying about risk to self. Eventually the dogs were pitted against each other. When the "sport" of dog fighting became popular, temperament was still key. A dog that could not be safely managed by the handler was risky and eliminated from the breeding program. The dogs were not bred to be aggressive to humans!
So, where did things start to go wrong? As with just about everything, popularity was the beginning of the problem. During the early part of the 1900's, the American Pit Bull Terrier and Am Staff became very popular in the United States as companions. "Petey" from "Our Gang" was an APBT dual registered with the United Kennel Club and American Kennel Club as Lucenay's Peter. John Steinbeck owned a Bull Terrier. The original Nipper ("His Master's Voice") was a pit bull-fox terrier cross. Helen Keller owned an APBT. President Woodrow Wilson had a dog that won many awards for him. Who can forget "Spuds MacKenzie," a Bull Terrier? Most recently a Bull Terrier is the mascot for the Target store chain. Stubby, an American Pit Bull Terrier from World War I is thought to be the most decorated war dog from that time. Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall owned a pit bull-type dog: "Harvey." Unfortunately, popularity brings about bad breeders and bad owners. Just look at what has happened to the Dalmatian thanks to Walt Disney.
In the past decade or two, the breeds grouped into the heading pit have surged in popularity worldwide. The Bull Terrier and Mini Bull have not been as heavily coveted by the general public but are still feeling the backlash from the popularity of their cousins. The strong build and impressive looks of these dogs have made them popular status symbols with the wrong type of owners. These wrong owners may become bad breeders.
Human males (predominantly), to show their machismo, use cars, clothing, guns and now powerful looking dogs as both status symbols and weapons. A minority of undereducated people began breeding the dogs they felt were the most courageous and tough. However, these humans failed to understand courage is NOT how fast a dog will fight or attack or how human aggresisive they can make it but how confident the dog is while working. A few bad people started breeding dogs that were overly dog aggressive and now human aggressive. Human aggression and dog aggression are two separate traits in dogs. Sadly, these people are a very visible minority in the world of the "bull" breeds. It is this visible minority that is the reason lawmakers call for breed bans.
What is the best environment for one of these dogs? First, the owner must NOT be looking for a dog as a status symbol. These people have no business owning any living creature. These are the people that are intentionally breeding poor temperaments in these dogs. Second, the home must NOT be looking for something to keep outside all day like a sentry. These people should get an alarm system installed. A well-bred one can also make a terrible sentry. It is more likely to beat someone to death with a wagging tail or drown in kisses! The various breeds lumped into pit thrive on human companionship. The best home for one of these dogs is with someone who has more than an hour or two a day to devote to a dog. A home where the dog will be properly chosen from a good breeder, trained and socialized. The best home is one where the dogs will be given a "job" to utilize their desire to work. These dogs can excell in Agility, Flyball, Weight pulling, and Obedience competitions. Some of these dogs are even being used as drug detecting dogs and search and rescue dogs.
The breeds of dog lumped into the generic pit bull heading are a wonderful, hardworking, affectionate, devoted and even silly group of dogs. They are not the best dogs to take to your local dog park. They may not start a fight but neither will they back down from a perceived challenge. If a group of dogs is chasing a ball and the pit wants it, the pit will get it. If another dog approaches a pit in a menacing way, the pit will often rise to the challenge. Owners have to realize this and understand that these dogs are great with humans but may not be so with other dogs. However, this trait is found in many dogs, not just these few breeds. Understanding the background and temperament of any breed of dog is vital to being able to properly manage the dog.
These dogs are not the vicious killers the media and many lawmakers want us to believe.
The problem is strong dogs that have strong work drives are falling into the wrong hands. A very visible minority of people who have no business at all owning another life is destroying the public perception of these breeds. This is where we end up with problem dogs: when any breed or cross of dog falls into the hands of the wrong owners.© West Wind Dog Training 2002

So help me, that still sounds like a really stuffy word. But I got a nice letter today (a real letter, on paper and with a stamp) from Merle Dean Feldman, the nurserywoman I wrote about meeting in an earlier post. She is the one who started me thinking in these terms, and I have come to peace with it, so I will tell you a little more of the story.
When I stopped at Storybook Farm, it was mostly out of curiosity. When Dave, the handyman and subsequently revealed husband of Merle Dean, came out to greet me, he asked me a few questions. When Merle Dean came out, he said, "She has 100 acres of trees," which is pretty much true. But my trees are in timber forest for the most part, except for the 8-9 acres of somewhat flatland around the house.
Ten or so years ago, a neighbor who grows seedling trees for reforestation gave me some oddball culls from his greenhouses, trees he couldn't sell but was reluctant to just throw on the burn pile. Among them were a Korean fir and a balsam fir. We planted them and fenced them from the deer. I told Kenny thank you and mentioned that I was sort of thinking of planting as many different kinds of trees as would survive here. Ben and I will not live long enough to see most of them reach anything resembling majestic maturity, but I was rather taken by the idea that some 100 years or so from now, an anthropoligist, historian, or even archeologist would be wandering through our property and ask, "Now how do you suppose a [insert tree name here] got to this place?"
This is not a totally specious imagining. If you wander around this area, there are many places where the only evidence of the homesteaders that used to be here is in the flowers that some pioneer wife planted near the house. Narcissus (daffodils) and day lilies survive the best. They are not native here, so when you see them, you can safely assume there was a homestead nearby. That's where my field of "wild" daffodils came from.
At any rate, when I was wandering around Storybook Farm, I tried to explain to Merle Dean my interest in trees. She asked, "How long have you had your arboretum?" I protested that it wasn't really an arboretum, just a bunch of ground with some different trees planted on it. "How long have you had your arboretum?" she repeated. "What do you have there?" She stopped me cold. She's right. I have an arboretum, and now I have a rather solemn (if fun) responsibility.
This has placed a burden on me, but I realize it's a happy burden. An arboretum, according to the dictionary is:
"A place where an extensive variety of woody plants are cultivated for scientific, educational, and ornamental purposes."
[Latin arbortum, a place grown with trees, from arbor, tree.]
That's our place–a place grown with trees. And to date we have Douglas fir (really a variety of pine, but that's for another post), noble fir, hemlock, alder, Ponderosa pine, one paper birch (a truly mysterious volunteer up on the hill), big leaf maple, and vine maple. Except for the nobles and the Ponderosa, these are mostly native. To these we have added coast redwoods, sequoia, cedars (an original native but lost in the big fire), Korean fir, balsam fir, Alaskan yellow cedar, Colorado blue spruce, redbud, hawthorne, and pink dogwood. Many of these I planted when they looked something like sticks. They are now recognizable trees. Thanks to my trip to Storybook, they'll soon be joined by a Japanese spruce (Siddon Sugi), "Blue ice" (a wonderful lacy tree that I suspect is really a cedar relative), and "Heatherbun," a funny little bushlike tree with wonderful color. Who knows what will be next?
We also have several varieties of apples, ditto cherries and plums, an apricot tree with a weird affliction, and numerous pears. I have a cherry plum that each spring takes our breaths away with its blossoms.
I'm not sure why I'm writing this, but I think a person could do much worse with his life than to grow trees. I think I'll keep growing them. I think maybe I'll have an arboretum. I think maybe I won't even be apologetic about it. . .

NSE celebrated its employee-owners this month in its bi-monthly Big Staff meeting with the announcement of the Most Valuable Owner (MVO) awards.
The Ownership Culture Committee (OCC) created the MVO campaign as a way to increase recognition of its employee-owners throughout the year. The MVO awards spans the entire fiscal calendar (Feb - Jan) and is split into phases, capturing different departments in each phase. Employees at any level can nominate their peers for this award.
The last phase of the MVO campaign is recognition of the Rookie of the Year and Hall of Famer, which are both based on years of service. Additionally, in order to receive one of these awards, the employee must have been nominated for the MVO program during a previous phase this fiscal year.
Congratulations to this year's Rookie of the Year and Hall of Famer
HALL OF FAMER | Branden "Jimmy" Carter
According to his coworkers, "Jimmy was an MVO, but deserves to be a Hall of Famer as well. He treats everyone with care and respect. He always ahs a smile on his face, even when counting inventory can be stressful. He is very deserving of this award."
ROOKIE OF THE YEAR | Paul Samsel
"Paul has come to a new department with a great attitude and great work ethic. He has gone above and beyond with every task he is given and taken on new challenges with great success. He is willing and able to do what it takes to get the job done and is a great new addition to the Picking Team."

Pimp my iPad 2 Part 2
Have you been fed up that you have to stay near the wall to use your iPad while it is charging via the bundled AC adaptor?
In Pimp my iPad 2 Part 2, I will share with you how to turn your bundled 10W AC adaptor into a S$38 iPad adaptor from Apple Store.
The additional iPad AC adaptor sold at Apple Store is exactly the one bundled with your iPad, except it comes with a 6ft (1.8m) power cord instead.
Power cable from Macbook Magsafe adaptor
I got this power cable that came with my old iBook G4 that has been retired. It bears the same "duck" as all Apple's adaptors such as the Magsafe adaptor that came with Macbook air, Macbook, Powerbook, Macbook Pro, or whatever Apple notebooks.
This should work on the bundled iPad adaptor.
iPad 10W AC adaptor, pimped!
See how my G4 power cord snaps perfectly onto the bundled 10W AC adaptor!
This old power cord is also 1.8m long.
Hooked up and Ready to go!
Now you get the same charging rate, a longer extension, a S$38 saving!
You can now enjoy your iPad 2 on your sofa!
FYI, if you are thinking of getting a USB extension cable or a longer USB data cable to do the job, you will be disappointed.
As a matter of fact, you can still charge, but the rate deteriorates drastically as the longer the distance, the more power you lose. Generic USB extension cables are just not meant to carry the amount of power that the iPad draws. I tried using a 3m S$3 USB extension cable, 9h and I get only 80% charge.
So it is either:
1. Get a additional iPad AC adaptor from Apple Store at S$38.
2. Use the power cord from your Apple Magsafe adaptor to pimp your own extended adaptor.
If you like this idea, "Like" this post, and "Share" on Facebook.

gluing the cushions down! I might sand them down one more time and give them another coat of black paint...but for now, I'm calling it a day.
My RL dining room chairs (that's 'real life,' not 'Ralph Lauren,' Andy,)! are similar to the miniature versions in that they have an upholstered seat, which I change out periodically. I used to leave them lose --I changed the fabric so often-- but they're actually attached at present. My guests no longer crash to the floor anymore, which I sort of miss as I find nothing enlivens a dinner party more than watching your dining companions perform impromptu acrobatics between the roast beef and the sorbet.
plain wooden seat, for practical purposes. So perhaps my new hall chairs, with their olive-green striped silk coverings, will end up in the Dining Room, after all.
not motivated enough to finish up the job completely --but it's getting there. Baby steps!
In other breaking news, the moldings and other fittings are starting to arrive for the Dining Room.
Speaking of the Pretty Pleater, (we were, weren't we)? I found this video and thought it might be of interest to all of us new to the awesomeness of that most wondrous of contraptions! Watch and enjoy!
Confidential to Derek: Thanks for the compliment...does this mean I have to be the smart one instead of the pretty one?

Located in the Aravalli Ranges, Udaipur is one of the most well-known tourist destinations of the country and beautifully exemplifies the Rajasthani culture. It is a city rich in history and culture and is visited by tourists from all over who come here to get a glimpse of the Rajput way of life.
Things to do in Udaipur
Udaipur is known all around for its numerous lakes. Fateh Sagar Lake, Rajasmand Lake, Udai Sagar Lake, Jaismand Lake and Pichola Lake are just few of the many beautiful likes in the city which add to the charm of the place and beautify the landscape. These lakes provide people with a wonderful way to spend a pleasant evening either sitting by the lake or boating.
The city of Udaipur is also known for its palaces and forts, and every palace here is a tribute to the unique Mewar dynasty which has ruled the place for ages. The architectural style is extremely artistic and intricate.
The City Palace, which is the largest palace complex in Rajasthan and an exquisite mix of Medieval, European and Chinese architecture, the Lake Palace situated in the middle of the Pichola Lake, the three storied Jag Mandir Palace are some of the many beautiful palaces in Udaipur. Many of the palaces, including the exquisite Lake Palace, have now been converted to luxury hotels and provide guests the opportunity to enjoy a truly royal vacation. Tourists can also try various attractive packages options to tour the heritage city of Udaipur.
The Chittorgarh Fort which is the largest fort in the country and the Kumbhalgarh Fort are the famous forts in Udaipur, and are standing relics of the city's history. There are also quite a few famous temples in Udaipur visited by devotees from around the country.
The Jagdish Temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu, the Jain pilgrimage site - Ranakpur Temple - known for its intricate architecture, Rishabhdeo Temple which is another important Jain temple are few of the numerous temples in the city.
The best time to visit Udaipur is during the winter months of September to March. During this time the weather is pleasant and the temperature is comfortable. The famous Mewar Festival held here at the onset of spring sees many tourists. It will be held from 25th-27th March, 2012 and coincides with the festival of Gangaur. Women get together and decorate the idols of Gangaur and Isar and take them in a procession to the famous Lake Pichola where they are put on decorated boats with a lot of fanfare. The festival also includes a vibrant display of Rajasthani folk culture and winds up with a display of fireworks.
Being such a popular tourist site, Udaipur is known for its many exquisite luxury and deluxe hotels most of which have successfully tried in keeping alive the rich culture and tradition of the place.

One Fine Day Photography enjoyed photographing the wedding of Lori and Philip at the Sanctuary where the men in the wedding party (even a 14-month old) were in kilts. The groom was kick. What a sense of humor. The evening was beautiful, the weather perfect and the partying went on well into the wee hours of the morning.

August 1, 2014 – The American people have no idea all of the things that the CIA has been doing over the years under their name. Maybe we should ask for our $70-$80 billion back—the money we spend on intelligence gathering. Not only did the CIA miss the mark on several major incidents including 9/11, there is also the issue of torture.
Former Congressman Ron Paul believes this is reason enough to shut the CIA down. "No doubt about that. Like you say, if more American people knew about they would be much more concerned."
Do you agree that we should end the CIA?

Older Adults with Head and Neck Cancers May Need More Cautious Treatment Strategies
Research from ASCO indicates treatment of locally advanced head and neck cancer should be carefully considered in patients older than 70.
Older patients with locally advanced head and neck cancers should not be excluded from aggressive treatment, but aggressive treatment should perhaps be used more cautiously and judiciously.
According to research presented at the 2015 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting, patients 70 and older have been under-represented in RTOG trials evaluating therapies for locally advanced head and neck cancers relative to their population overall.
In addition, the researchers looked at three large cohorts of patients with head and neck cancers and they found patients older than 70 had poorer survival rates compared to patients younger than 70.
The study suggested that the problem may be even more pronounced in patients who receive combined modality treatments that included heightened nephrotoxicity, myelosuppression, and ototoxicity.
"We need elder specific trials and we need formal geriatric assessments of patients," said lead study investigator Julie Ann Kish, MD, of the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, FL. "There are questions surrounding elder patients tolerability to treatments."
Dr. Kish and her colleagues analyzed the effect of age on outcome in prospective, phase 3 NRG Oncology/RTOG trials of radiotherapy (XRT) with or without chemotherapy in locally advanced head and neck cancer.
The researchers conducted the analysis because the effect of advanced age on outcome for single agent XRT and combined modality therapy in patients with locally advanced head and neck cancers has not been well defined.
RELATED: Pembrolizumab Immunotherapy Effective in Recurrent, Metastatic Head and Neck Cancer
The effect of age on survival and toxicity was examined in patients on RTOG 9003 testing 3 altered fractionation (fx) XRT schedules compared to standard daily XRT (SFX).
The investigators also looked at patients on RTOG 0129, which compared concurrent SFX + cisplatin (DDP) to accelerated fx with concomitant boost XRT (AFX-C) with DDP.
A third cohort used in this analysis included patients on RTOG 0522. This trial tested AFX-C with concurrent DDP with or without cetuximab.

After four years of anticipation the first privatization deal is completed in the Greek market in which Colliers played a key role assiting the Greek State by providing its services as independent valuer.
Ana Vukovic, Managing Director of Colliers International Greece commented: "Colliers is proud to have taken part in the first closed privatization deal in the Greek market, acting as a trusted partner of the State. The IBC deal is the first positive news in the history of the crisis and it is Colliers' privilege to have contributed our services to such an occasion."
It was according to Colliers' value estimation study that the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund, which acts on behalf of the State, completed the first privatization deal of the Usufruct Right on the Exploitation for 90 years of the International Broadcasting Centre (IBC) to Lamda Development as this company was the highest bidder.
The right includes the completion of the north-eastern segment of the entire building of some 14,000 m2 that will accommodate the Museum of Olympic Games with a minimum area of 3,000 m², a space with special systems for contemporary auditorium and theatre of some 1,500 m2, playground, kindergarten and gym, while the remaining space will host some commercial uses, such as cafes, restaurants, retail and offices. The standards, size and concept of the subject project can set a multicomponent destination with high variety of uses and a degree of prestige that will interact with the Olympic Complex.
This is a new chapter for the Athens team as Colliers' name is associated with the first privatization deal as part of the programme of fiscal consolidation and structural reform. By playing a key and independent role in the privatizations, Colliers holds the know-how and the knowledge regarding legal procedures and market frameworks, trends and prevailing conditions.
This first privatization deal is estimated to be just the first positive news of more to come. Although it is just the beginning, it is expected to speed up privatization projects and plans, sending a message for a business friendly framework that can upgrade the role of Greece and its potential for economic recovery and growth. Ultimately, in the future reviving investment transactions in Greece and stimulating investor sentiments.
Already this privatization deal proves to be a vote of confidence towards the Greek economy and the general perception is elevated through successful examples such us the case of IBC. Greece has a relatively low initial point and plenty of space for reforms that can generate growth and increase the country's attractiveness and competitiveness and privatizations form an undisputable set of strategic policies towards economic development.

WMMA pioneer Megumi Fujii recently shared an adorable video of her one year old daughter displaying the perfect armbar.
Long before the days of Ronda Rousey, Cris Cyborg and Miesha Tate, it was Japan's Megumi Fujii who was pioneering the way for women in mixed martial arts. The 43-year-old was a strawweight fighter who began competing as a professional in 2004 and went an incredible 22-0 before suffering her first loss at the Bellator 34 event in 2010. She went on to retire from the sport in 2013 with a highly impressive 26-3 record. The "Mega Megu" finished 20 of her 26 career victories, 19 submissions and 1 knockout.
It looks like Fujii's daughter is primed to one day follow in her mother's footsteps. Take a look at the video of her in action below:

|And this is why two X-wings down in one shooting phase, ouch
Game one saw Hawk 290 with Ion cannon and Jan Ors backing up a B wing and a pair of X wings going aganist a Fire Spray backed up by an Tie Advanced and a pair of Tie fighters.
|Hawk 290
The hawk's Ion cannon got a good hit on a Tie which obliging crashed into an asteroid and blew up. The rest of the patrol locked on to the Fire Spray and stripped it on its shields. Then through a serious is skilled (fluky) the rebels outmaneuvered the imperial patrol. The Tie Advanced was isolated and dropped by a B wing, X wing combo. The Hawk kept chipping the hull points of the Fire spray by flying parallel out of the weapons arc of the big ship. Eventually All the rebels ganged up on the Fire spray to take her down While the sole Tie made a break for.
|B wing
In the second game the Fire spray was out in favor of more Ties with upgrades. The two squadrons went head to head at close range with the Ties getting the better of destroying to X wings with minor damage in return. THe rest of the game as spent with the Hawk and the B-wing trying to evade the mass of Tie with no available and both ships were soon taken out.

Oh no! Popular TV presenter Lunga Shabalala has announced that he will officially be leaving SABC 1's popular lifestyle and music show 'Selimathunzi'. Although the star has enjoyed every moment on the show, he has other plans he hopes to execute and the timing felt right.
"It's time for me to grow and explore other avenues in my career. I think I played my part and I'm leaving it to Khanya [Mkangisa] and [Siphesihle] Vazi to take over the show and they're already doing a great job" Lunga said in an interview with Drum Magazine. "Leaving has been difficult but I came to a moment of realisation to know I need to continue evolving."
The decision was made with a heavy heart as Lunga reveals that he had a great time hosting the show. "I have some great memories I will take with me. One of my best moments on the show was when we took some of the viewers to Zimbabwe two years ago to exchange some of their skills with our Zim viewers," Lunga says. The star adds that "My biggest fans are my grandparents who have watched every episode of Selimathunzi and I will miss hearing the compliments."
Although Lunga is exiting the show, he has promised fans that they're going to be seeing more of him in 2018. He has a variety of exciting projects in the pipeline while still putting his presenting skills to good use on SABC 3's 'The Man Cave' and can't wait to share a few other surprises with the country soon.
Lunga's last Selimathunzi show will air on Tuesday 28 November on SABC1 at 19:30.

My blog used to be called Nappy Valley. But now I've moved to the dizzy heights of Crystal Palace (via a spell as an expat on Long Island, New York). And my Littleboys are long out of nappies.
Monday, 10 August 2009
Shop N Strop
First of all, there is no question of me going food shopping with the Littleboys during the week any more unless it is an absolute emergency. We have had, shall we say, incidents. The puddle of wee on the floor in Whole Foods. The eating of food on display. The chasing of small boys around the aisles, terrified that they will knock over displays of fruit and vegetables. The culmination was Littleboy 2's catatonic tantrum in the checkout of Stop N Shop (or Shop 'N' Strop as I now think of it). He was in front of me, prostrate on the floor and wailing, blocking the trolley so I was powerless either to get to him, or check out my stuff, and had to watch as supermarket staff tried unsuccessfully to coax him away. All because he didn't get to put something on the conveyor belt.
So one of us now has to go alone, and although The Doctor has offered on occasion, I prefer it to be me.
Why? It's not just the fact that I now know the layout of our vast local hypermarket, and I've got it down to forty five minutes to go round it instead of an hour and a half. That I have now found the elusive aisle that sells Heinz Baked Beans, have discovered a cereal that looks remarkably like Shreddies (Cascadian Farm multi-grain squares, if you're curious), and have identified which of the thousand different types of Tropicana (added vitamins, added calcium, no pulp, some pulp, lots of pulp, slight-suggestion-of -pulp- but- not-too-much) to put in the trolley.
It's not just that it's blissfully airconditioned in there (although that is definitely a plus), that they play soothing music, that it sells pretty much everything under the sun, so I can browse anything from toiletries, makeup, books and DVDs to picnic baskets, snorkels and coathangers.
And it's not just that coming out of this supermarket into the enormous carpark, there is the most beautiful view of the harbour, dotted with yachts, that can lift the spirits on even the most dank of days. You can also smell the sea. A little different from the view on exiting Waitrose on Balham High Street, it has to be be said.
No, the true reason I like doing the Sunday shop is that it is the only daylight hour of the entire week that I am completely alone. With no one to tug at my sleeve, ask for another cup of juice, want me to help with a jigsaw, fix their Lego tower. No-one to whinge that they're hot, tired, need the loo or have fallen over for the millionth time that day.
So my little trip to the supermarket on a Sunday morning is, at the moment, pure child-free heaven.
I think I need some time off.

You realise you're a fully paid up parent when it is little pleasures like this that you look forward to. Not the theatre or cinema or a night out in the King's Road etc.
But it gets better and my two are 15 and 11 and are a delight to take out to the restaurant or cinema. They grow up quickly!

I couldn't live without my Tesco online shops, the mere thought of entering the supermarket with my four in tow sends shivers down my spine.

Perhaps you're just missing Waitrose Balham High Street? Just the right amount of choice, rather than those towering aisles filled with so many insanely sugared cereals that your teeth start to ache just looking at them. Know what you mean, though. I've given up supermarket shopping in favour of getting it delivered. Which means feeling ridiculously night-before-Christmas-like waiting for it to arrive, because I might just have gone mad and ordered a multi-pack of chocolate fingers. Not quite the cocktail-a-thon early evening was a few years ago, but hey. Enjoy that sea air, Balham High Street, and its pigeons, smells no nicer than when you left.

That is how you know you have children. When previously thought of chores become coveted. For us it is who gets to do the washing up vs. bathtime. The washer uper can listen to the radio and daydream. The bather gets wet. The supermarket trip is also a prize draw at the weekend.
Having said that I've been taking the mayhem creators into the supermarket and barring one or two incidents - the catacylismic disaster on the honey aisle being one, the time they tipped over the fully laden trolly another - it is getting better. They have FINALLY understood not to pester me with requests for stuff and then we go and play in the play centre when it is all done. It is almost a pleasant way to spend the afternoon. Almost... I can think of better ones but all involved having noone who cannot read a whole Harry Potter book themselves in the vicinity.
PS - how about letting the doctor do it once, letting him think it takes 2 hours, going yourself the next week, getting it done in under 45 minutes and having an hour to sit and look at the sea and read a paper? He'll never know...

So with you on this NVG (and also with Brit on choosing washing up over bath-time). We live life in the fast lane, don't we?

I SO hear you on this. I have the same 'urge' to do the supermarket shop first thing Saturday morning, which must mean I am desperate. Particularly as our nearest supermarket is in Swindon (we are in the depths of rural Oxfordshire). So I must be TRULY desperate... I am off to London tomorrow alone for 12 hours and I am positively giddy with excitement!

"Shop 'n Strop" - love it!
I like Fraught Mummy's suggestion too - doesn't Whole Paycheck have a cafe?
In our house it's my husband's job to do the food shopping on Sunday mornings, while I get quiet time at home. We often divide and conquer though, taking one kid each. (One stays home, the other gets to go to the supermarket.) They are SO much better behaved that way! The kid chosen to go to the supermarket is the 'winner' because the bakery gives a free cookie to kids under the age of 10!
The Big Y supermarket one town over has a kids club - you can check the kids in and leave them there while you shop! I've never actually resorted to that, but I have friends who regularly drive the extra distance to shop there!

Baked beans? Ooooh...

Dumdad - I'm glad to hear it!
Mum of 4 - Americans don't really seem to have embraced online supermarket shopping in the same way - or not in this area, anyway. In the UK I was reliant on Ocado, too.
NB - Are you offering to put me up then?
Anonymous (or do I know you?) - I do miss Waitrose, although the supermarket is pretty good here. But I don't miss Balham, or the pigeons...
Brit in Bosnia - we have the same bathtime vs washing up choice. Mind you, the Littleboys create so much mess with their food that cleaning up the kitchen is quite a chore, too.
PM - it is nonstop glamour in this household.
Jen - that sounds very exciting? Where in Oxfordshire are you - I know Waitrose in Wantage very well, and it's brilliant....
Almost American - Whole Paycheck doesn't have a cafe here (although there is a Benihana in the car park) - I could promise them the beach afterwards but it still doesn't guarantee good behaviour. The kids' club sounds good - maybe I'll be driving up to New England to do my shopping...
Iota - yes! Turns out there is a little collection of UK goods in the 'Eastern European' section of the supermarket....baked beans, Heinz Tomato soup but sadly no Marmite (Bovril instead - bizarre).

Enjoy your peaceful shopping. I am jealous of the smell of sea air and view of the yachts. Oh to live by the sea...*Sigh*

Garret Eckbo – ALCOA Forecast Garden
Garret Eckbo was born in Cooperstown, New York in November 28, 1910. In his early life Eckbo struggled financially and had to sacrifice some years to save money and attend college. He attended Marin Junior College for a year before going to the University of California, Berkeley where he majored as a Landscape Architect. After he got his B.S. he worked in Armstrong Nurseries in Ontario, California. During this time Eckbo designed more than 100 gardens in less than a year. After working for Armstrong he wanted to continue with his education and expand on his creative ideas and entered to Harvard University's Graduate School of Design. He entered the university through a scholarship competition which he won. Later Garret Eckbo became the most noticeable Landscape Architect in Southern California in the 1940's and 1950's and he represented a new type of Landscape Design. Eckbo created over a thousand gardens, large and small. One of them being the ALCOA Forest Garden in Los Angeles, 1956-1966.
In 1956 ALCOA asked Eckbo to design a garden to promote aluminum as a soft and peaceful material. This came about because in those times aluminum was used widely in the war years since it was the main material for the aerospace industry. Eckbo accepted the challenge and incorporated aluminum in different ways in this garden for example he used it in the screens, trellises and in the centerpiece fountain that is shaped like a flower. Eckbo also thought that plants should be used to express their natural form and growth and only where spatial enclosure was necessary to be used in masses.

We are excited about all the possibilities of these two strong teams working together to unveil God's love to the Youth and Young Adults/Singles of Shoreline and the Austin community. We are merging these two teams because we feel the skill sets of all the individuals will be fully maximized as we all minister to junior high, high school, and young adults together. We will no longer be two separate departments. We will be one, unified department unveiling God's love to the junior high, high school, and young adults/singles population of Austin.
That's all I know now. More details as they come.
