Organic Not a Peep Chick Pillowcase is rated out of 5 by 15.
Rated 5 out of 5 by JamsnSamsn from Perfect little pillowcase This pillowcase is gorgeous and looks great with the yellow and grey polka dot sheets, as well as the comforter with grey and white stripes. It even matches her crib birdie blanket perfectly, which we use as a throw on her bed. I especially love the thickness of the sheets. Quality product and super cute.

Rated 5 out of 5 by spetrie from Design grows with your toddler We bought this a month ago for our son's new "big boy room," and we absolutely love it. The materials are high-quality and the yellow and gray color scheme is a striking combination (we painted the walls to match). This pattern (not too babyish, not too adult) will grow with our 2-yr-old throughout the next several years.

Rated 5 out of 5 by KendraS from Love! The colors are true to what you see on the website which I was happy about (I was nervous the yellow would be brighter or lighter than they appeared, but it's closer to a mustard yellow then a straight yellow which is what I wanted). The birds were a little bigger than I was picturing, but not an issue. The quality is very good.

Rated 5 out of 5 by KendraS from Love it! I bought this for our nursery day bed (boy's room). Our theme colors are grey and mustard yellow and I was pleased to see that the color online was pretty true to life. The quilt is thicker than I thought it was which is actually a good thing! We plan on buying the same quilt/sheet set for our crib now too.

BEDFORD, NH - Andy Sanborn today received the endorsement of state Sen. Jim Forsythe (R-Strafford), his fourth endorsement from a sitting Senator. Sen. Forsythe joins Sen. Ray White, Sen. Jeb Bradley, and Sen. Peter Bragdon in endorsing Sen. Sanborn in his re-election bid from the newly redrawn 9th District.
"I'm humbled by the support I've received from my colleagues in the Senate," Andy said. "I'm proud of the work we've accomplished over the past two years and am honored that they deem me worthy to return to continue working for pro-job, pro-business policies at the State House."
The full text of Sen. Forsythe's endorsement is copied below:
"If Republican primary voters in Senate District 9 want lower taxes, lower spending, less regulation, stronger gun rights, and school choice, they should vote for Andy Sanborn in the upcoming Republican primary. Primaries are incredibly important to ensure that the candidate nominated holds to true conservative principles. That is exactly why I formed the Conservative Senate PAC – to get conservatives elected in primaries.
Andy's support of lower taxes, reduced spending, less regulation, and school choice puts him in stark contrast to his opponent, Rep. Ken Hawkins. As vice-chair of Senate Education, and the author of the education tax credit bill, I was appalled to find that Rep. Hawkins voted against reforming teacher tenure, against a property tax credit for school choice, and against forming charter schools. Sen. Sanborn supported school choice by co-sponsoring education tax credits, and supported improving funding for charter schools and reforming teach tenure.
On the issues of taxes, spending, and regulation, the contrast is similarly clear, as evidenced by Sen. Sanborn's "A" rating from the Americans for Prosperity and 100% score from the Granite State Taxpayers. The contrast in their positions on the second amendment is also clearly seen by Sen. Sanborn's support of, and Ken Hawkins opposition to, Constitutional carry. We need a Senator who will consistently stand up for conservative values, and based on voting records, that man is clearly Andy Sanborn. I encourage all voters of the 9th District to vote Andy Sanborn for State Senate in the Republican primary this Tuesday, September 11th."

Live Commentary
The likes of Thiago Silva and Neymar went close, with Julio Cesar forced into a few late saves, as Mexico frustrated Brazil throughout - resulting in an entertaining stalemate. That's all we have time for, I've been Simon Harrison, but be sure to stick around for Russia vs South Korea later tonight!
FULL TIME! Brazil and Mexico drew 0-0 in Fortaleza, earning the hosts a rather mixed reception! The home fans aren't too pleased, but El Tri's support are ecstatic, as Ochoa put on a goalkeeping masterclass to keep the Selecao at bay.
90' + 1'GOOD SAVE FROM JULIO CESAR! Jimenez is found in space on the right, driving a low shot towards the bottom right corner! The Brazil goalkeeper gets down smartly to palm it away from danger, though Hernandez nearly manages to control the rebound!
90'GUARDADO GOES VERY CLOSE! The Mexico midfielder drifts in from the right, before curling a left-footed effort across goal and onto the roof of the net! It had Julio Cesar throwing himself in the air to get a touch, with Miguel Herrera half-celebrating on the sideline!
88'Only a few minutes remain for both of these sides to protect their 100% group record, though a draw wouldn't be a bad result for either. Willian is bustled to the ground by Fabian, allowing for Brazil to earn a free-kick. The hosts break with Marcelo down the left, with the left-back going down in the box due to a tug by Jimenez! The referee doesn't give a penalty, though!
86'GREAT SAVE FROM OCHOA AGAIN! Reflex stop from the Mexico goalkeeper, who slaps away a Thiago Silva header from close range! He might not have known much about it, with the effort whistling straight towards him, but that has to go down as another top stop!
84'SubstitutionGiovani dos Santos R. Jiménez
84'SubstitutionOscar Willian
84'Third change for Brazil, as Willian replaces Oscar. There are a lot of tired legs out on the field, with the fresh winger perhaps able to make something happen. It's just not clicking in attack for the hosts and the home crowd aren't too pleased.
83'Less than ten minutes to go and the home crowd are urging the Selecao to try and break whenever possible. It appears that both managers would be satisfied with a draw, which would leave them both in favourable positions. That said, Herrera tells Jimenez to warm up.
81'Dos Santos tries his luck from the dead ball, but cannons his effort straight into the wall. Neymar breaks through the heart of the Mexico midfield, before looking to poke a through ball in behind for Jo to chase. Ochoa is quick off his line to smother the pass.
79'Yellow Card Thiago Silva
79'Thiago Silva scythes through Hernandez, earning himself a yellow card for his troubles. He's not happy with his defensive teammates, however, berating Marcelo for a lazy tackle on the left hand side. Mexico have a free-kick from 25 yards out, within shooting distance.
78'Moreno steps out of defence brilliantly to halt Dani Alves, while the right-back was in full flight. Mexico continue to hold firm, with their central defensive three nullifying any Brazilian attack which threatens to penetrate down the middle.
76'SubstitutionH. Herrera M. Fabián
76'BIG CHANCE FOR JO! The substitute breaks the offside trap, slid through on goal by Bernard, but drags his first-time strike wide of the far post! He shouts in frustration, he knows that he should have done better with that!
75'Oscar finds Neymar with a short pass on the edge of the area, before the latter attempts a piece of skill to flick a lofted pass over the deep Mexican defence. Mexico clear and counter, but Hernandez is muscled off the ball by David Luiz deep in Brazil's penalty area.
74'SubstitutionO. Peralta Javier Hernández
73'Bernard overlaps Neymar and receives possession via a nice backheel from the Shakhtar man. The former whips in a cross, but Jo is unable to rise high enough to make any contact. A bit more urgency for Brazil, at least.
72'There are around 20 minutes remaining, with Mexico surely feeling as though they can take all three points having gone for so long without conceding. Javier Hernandez might signal their intent, as the Little Pea strips off ready for action.
70'David Luiz spreads play out to Oscar on the right hand side, before making a supporting run. His former Chelsea teammate gives him the ball back, but Luiz mishits his shot and another Brazilian attack peters out.
69'OCHOA MAKES THE SAVE! Scolari makes his second change, replacing a rather lacklustre Fred with Jo. Immediately Brazil break upfield, with Neymar forcing Ochoa into another smart save on his near post! Dani Alves picks up the rebound but his cross is deflected behind for a corner!
68'SubstitutionFred Jô
67'Layun beats Dani Alves for pace, before firing a cross into the six yard area. Thiago Silva manages to contort himself and make an important headed clearance, stopping the Mexican attack in its tracks. El Tri certainly aren't sitting back and looking to defend.
65'Marcelo whips a cross in from the left yet again, but Mexico manage to scramble clear yet again. Brazil are looking low on ideas and it wouldn't be surprising to see Scolari utilise his bench again fairly soon. There isn't any fluency or vibrancy in midfield.
63'NEYMAR GOES CLOSE! The 22-year-old curls a 30 yard free-kick towards the near post, but Ochoa is happy to watch it wide. It wasn't too far away, but the Mexican goalkeeper's dive was merely for his own peace of mind.
62'Yellow Card J. Vázquez
62'Dos Santos breaks to the byeline, but his attempt cut-back is smothered by Julio Cesar. Vazquez then picks up his own yellow card for a niggling tackle on Neymar. Herrera may need to consider some substitutes soon to ensure that El Tri end the game with a full side.
60'Half an hour remains, with the home supporters beginning to get on the Selecao's back a little. Guardado fires wide of the target from 30 yards yet again, as Mexico keep peppering Julio Cesar's goal. Hernanes is warming up for Brazil.
59'Yellow Card Paul Nicolás Aguilar
59'Aguilar is given a yellow card for a rash challenge on Bernard, meaning that the wing-back is on thin ice for the remainder of the second half. Brazil are struggling to impose themselves in the second half, with Mexico's formation and plentiful bodies in defence continuing to frustrate.
57'HERRERA GOES CLOSE! The midfielder is allowed to cut inside Paulinho and unleash a ferocious left-footed effort, but once again the ball heads narrowly over the crossbar! Mexico keep trying their luck and it must be said that they're looking the more likely to score thus far!
56'Giovani dos Santos drifts inside from the right hand side, scampering across the edge of the box and beating David Luiz. He can only muster a weak shot from 18 yards, which is deflected into the arms of Julio Cesar.
55'WHAT A STRIKE FROM VAZQUEZ! El Tri are getting closer! Another ambitious strike from 30 yards, with the midfielder almost scraping the top of the crossbar. Herrera's side certainly aren't afraid to shoot, Julio Cesar will be a worried man.
53'Layun breaks down the left hand side, before whipping in a right-footed cross which Luiz Gustavo deals with. Mexico keep the pressure on, with Guardado shooting from 30 yards out. Thiago Silva makes the block to concede a corner.
52'Mexico look to hold onto the ball, moving it sideways at pace, but Brazil continue to look very comfortable. Julio Cesar has been well protected thus far, with Peralta only looking dangerous on one occasion. Fortunately for Herrera, he has impact striker Javier Hernandez waiting on the bench.
50'Bernard has already had some joy down the Mexican left hand side, with Scolari's change certainly a positive one. The Selecao have started the second half the better of the two outfits, with the home crowd beginning to chant the name of Neymar.
48'Brilliant defending from Rodriguez! Dani Alves releases Bernard down the right hand side, before the substitute fires an excellent cross towards the back post! Neymar steams in to try and make contact, but Rodriguez gets there first to divert behind for a corner.
47'One change at the interval, as Bernard replaces Ramires, suggesting that the Selecao are prepared to take this game to their opponents. The Shakhtar winger is capable of playing on the left or the right, with the pace to trouble the Mexican wing-backs.
46'SubstitutionRamires Bernard
46'We're back underway in Fortaleza! Brazil will be keen to push on and find the game's opening goal, but Mexico's staunch defensive performance from the opening 45 minutes suggests that Scolari's men will have a tough time of it.
Neymar has had a couple of good chances to give Brazil the lead, but Ochoa has been equal to the Barcelona man's efforts. The Selecao have seen plenty of the ball, but just haven't shown the cutting edge required to break down the resolute El Tri lines. Be sure to rejoin us in ten minutes time for all of the second half action!
HALF TIME! The referee calls time on a goalless first 45 minutes, with Ochoa forced into a couple of brilliant saves as the half wore on. Mexico have held their own, with Miguel Herrera presumably happy with his side's battling spirit, but Neymar is looking dangerous.
45'Yellow Card Ramires
45'There's just one minute of stoppage time.
44'GOOD SAVE FROM OCHOA! Great opportunity for Brazil, but the Mexican goalkeeper is on hand to deny them again! A free-kick delivery bobbles through a ruck of players, allowing for three unmarked yellow shirts to try and turn home the loose ball! Paulinho tries his luck but Ochoa makes the block.
43'Marcelo whips in another cross from deep on the left, but Rodriguez beats Fred to the header. It has been a frustrating half for Brazil, who have seen plenty of the ball but can't find the cutting edge to break through thick Mexican lines.
41'Layun tries a diagonal pass in behind Dani Alves, but the Barcelona right-back manages to head clear. Mexico continue to maintain the pressure, with Vazquez eventually presented with possession on the edge of the box. He stabs an effort towards the bottom right corner, but it skips off the dry turf and behind for a goal-kick.
39'Luiz Gustavo has gone down after clashing aerially with Herrera. The defensive midfielder looks fine to continue, but just a little dazed. We're running out of time in the first half for either team to take an advantage back to their respective dressing room.
37'Dani Alves concedes a free-kick in a dangerous area, but Thiago Silva rises highest to defuse the danger and clear the eventual delivery. Layun picks up the pieces, striking from 30 yards, but Julio Cesar is happy to let the wing-back's effort head high and wide.
35'Good defensive header from Herrera, as the midfielder nods away a Neymar near post corner delivery, conceding another in the process. Fred wins the second, but can only direct the ball straight at Ochoa. The lone forward hasn't had the best opening half an hour for Brazil.
33'Thiago Silva makes a good challenge to set Brazil on their way upfield. Neymar runs infield from the left, beating Aguilar before cutting past Vazquez. The ball deflects off a defender, however, looping into the grasp of the grateful Ochoa. Neymar is looking in inspired form.
31'Less than a quarter of an hour to go, as this game continues to threaten to find its first goal but come up short. Great goalkeeping from Ochoa has kept El Tri in it, while Peralta is looking a fairly isolated man in attack for Mexico.
29'Paulinho feeds the ball into Oscar, who had dropped in from the left flank. The Chelsea man took one touch, before trying his luck from 30 yards, but Ochoa is easily able to gobble up the tame strike.
28'Almost a mistake from David Luiz, as the central defender takes a poor touch and nearly allows for Peralata to race in behind enemy lines. Julio Cesar is quick to race off his goal-line and hoof clear.
27'This contest has burst into action! Both goalkeepers have stayed alert to keep their respective sides in the game, as this contest threatens to give us a goal before half time. Plenty of space for both Brazil and Mexico to exploit on the break.
26'BRILLIANT SAVE FROM OCHOA! Neymar is picked out at the back post, rising majestically to steer a header towards the near post! Ochoa is at full stretch to palm the ball away, as Brazil go extremely close! Mexico clear their lines, with Layun trying his luck from range but firing over.
24'GREAT EFFORT FROM HERRERA! The El Tri midfielder unleashes a fantastic strike from 30 yards, which threatens to whistle underneath the crossbar. Julio Cesar is light on his feet to get up and acrobatically tip the ball over his goal, but the referee awards a goal-kick.
22'Dangerous play from Peralta! The Mexico forward weaves his way through rash challenges from Thiago Silva and Marcelo, but opts to stay on his feet and drive to the byeline. The recovering PSG defender just about manages to get a foot in to deny the El Tri dangerman.
21'Still nothing for either goalkeeper to do, as the bulk of this contest continues to be played in the midfield third. Mexico's five at the back is holding out, though Neymar appears to have more than enough invention to beat a man and start to stretch things.
19'Fred finds himself in an offside position once again, but is picked out by a back post ball by Marcelo. The lone striker heads a cross back across goal, but Ramires fails to win the second ball. The referee then pulls back play, due to his linesman's flag being raised.
18'Scolari's men fail to penetrate the Mexican lines once again, with a clearance flying out of play on the right hand side. Dani Alves takes a quick throw-in to Gustavo, who takes a touch out of his feet and ambitiously shoots from 35 yards. The ball arcs terribly wide of the target.
17'Luiz Gustavo is again on hand to make an important interception in the centre of midfield, before spraying possession wide to Neymar. The Barcelona man turns Rodriguez inside out with a wonderful Cruyff turn, as the 22-year-old continues to be a thorn in Mexico's side. The defender brings him down, earning Brazil yet another free-kick.
15'The opening quarter of an hour has passed without either goalkeeper being called into action, but there has certainly been a competitive edge to the contest. Plenty of challenges are flying in, with the likes of Vazquez and Dani Alves being warned to watch their step by the referee.
13'Good defensive work from Mexico! Fred looks to fire home on the turn from ten yards, but Moreno does well to slide in and make a block. The rebound falls to Marcelo at the byeline, with the Real Madrid man firing in an immediate cross, but Paulinho can only deflect the pass wide of the near post.
12'It appears that Neymar is being retained in the number ten role for Brazil, with Oscar and Ramires on the flanks for Scolari's men, a surprise given how Neymar is often deployed on the wing. Brazil are in control at the moment, able to probe and test the resolve of the Mexican lines.
11'FRED HITS THE SIDE NETTING! Marcelo releases Oscar down the left hand side, with the diminutive attacking midfielder playing a cross into the path of Fred with the outside of his boot. The Fluminense forward stabs the ball into the side netting from six yards out, with the linesman's flag also raised for offside.
9'Mexico sit back in their shape and invite Brazil to attack, preying on mistakes from the hosts. Marcelo misplaces a pass, but Luiz Gustavo is on hand to rob Herrera and bring the Selecao back upfield. The Wolfsburg man is so key for balance in midfield for Scolari.
7'Neymar wins a free-kick after being brought down by Dos Santos, but David Luiz fires the dead ball into a two-man wall. Brazil are struggling to penetrate El Tri's lines, but are slowly getting a foothold and starting to take control of the contest.
6'Neymar looks to drive at the Mexican defence, but is accidentally tackled by Fred, as the lone striker looked to drop deep and collect the ball. Moreno has only had to make own clearance so far for Herrera's side, as the Selecao struggle to retain possession.
4'A late challenge from Layun on Luiz Gustavo is rather nasty, sending the defensive midfielder sprawling on the turf. Mexico are stealing yards early on, robbing possession deep in Brazil's half and looking to take the game to the host nation.
3'David Luiz heads away Mexico's first free-kick delivery of the game, before Thiago Silva is forced to concede a corner with his own clearance soon after. Some early pressure from El Tri, with both outfits keen to come out of the traps quickly and press from the off. The set piece comes to nothing.
2'Vazquez snaps at Neymar's heels and brings down the Brazil star, earning him a stern telling off from the referee. After the Barcelona forward's performance in the opening game, fouling Neymar might be El Tri's best chance of stopping him.
1'We are underway in the first half! Brazil are wearing their famous canary yellow, with Mexico kitted out in a rather fiery red. The renditions of both national anthems suggest that there will be plenty of competitive spirit on the field this evening! Neymar is moved to tears by the occasion.
The players are taking to the field and after the national anthems we will be getting down to business! There is, of course, a capacity crowd to watch the host nation, but El Tri have plenty of their own support too. A great atmosphere for what should be a competitive affair. We're minutes from the first whistle!
With a quarter of an hour until kick-off, be sure to stick with us for all of the action, as the Selecao look to keep their momentum going - as they look to make it eleven consecutive wins. Mexico certainly aren't to be underestimated, however, with El Tri more than capable of holding their own with a solid formation. You don't want to miss this game!
As it stands in Group A, both Brazil and Mexico are sitting pretty on three points apiece, leaving Croatia and Cameroon to fester at the foot of the table with none. Should Mexico get even a fair share of the points this evening, Herrera's men have to fancy their chances of progressing into the knockout stages of the competition in the place of much-fancied Croatia. Brazil and their support won't be happy with anything less than a win, however.
Mexico substitutes: Corona, Salcido, Reyes, Fabian, Jimenez, Pulido, Talavera, Hernandez, Ponce, Brizuela, Aquino, Pena.
Mexico starting line-up (5-3-1-1): Ochoa; Layun, Rodriguez, Marquez, Moreno, Layun; Herrera, Vazquez, Guardado; Dos Santos; Peralta.
Brazil substitutes: Jefferson, Fernandinho, Hulk, Dante, Maxwell, Henrique, Hernanes, Willian, Bernard, Jo, Victor, Maicon.
Brazil starting line-up (4-2-3-1): Julio Cesar; Dani Alves, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Marcelo; Paulinho, Luiz Gustavo; Ramires, Oscar, Neymar; Fred.
TEAM NEWS: No changes whatsoever from Miguel Herrera, as El Tri stick with a side who fared comfortably against a disappointing Cameroon outfit. Oribe Peralta is the main focal point of the attack and is the scorer of Mexico's only goal in the tournament so far. When out of possession, Paul Aguilar and Miguel Layun will be asked to drop back into a defensive five, which could make Mexico a tough side to break down.
TEAM NEWS: Hulk misses out due to an injury picked up in training for Brazil, with Scolari selecting Ramires to replace the Zenit winger. As a result, Neymar may be shifted back out onto his more familiar position on the left flank, leaving Oscar the responsibility of the number ten role. Otherwise, it's an unchanged side, with continued trust and belief from the hosts' coach in his starting eleven.
I'm Simon Harrison and I will be keeping you updated with all of the action from Fortaleza, as the tournament hosts look to take another positive step forward towards the knockout phases. The Selecao beat Croatia in somewhat controversial circumstances during the first round of World Cup fixtures and will be wanting to prove that they can turn in a comprehensive winning performance without the aid of any refereeing decisions.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of Brazil's Group A clash against Mexico, with Luiz Felipe Scolari's men hoping to make it two wins in a row. El Tri are also coming into this match on the back of three points, courtesy of a solitary goal from Oribe Peralta.

Teenagers living in the South have higher rates of sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancies than teenagers living in other regions of the country, but statistics show that more and more parents and educators support comprehensive sexual health education, according to a study released this week.
Investigators at Auburn University at Montgomery's Center for Demographic Research found the highest rates of teen pregnancies, chlamydia and gonorrhea in the South, compared with other regions in the country.
The study also found a majority of people support inclusive sex education beyond the abstinence-only education, a policy, that if implemented, might help lower rates of pregnancies and STDs, said University of Georgia researcher Kathrin Stanger-Hall, a professor of plant biology and biological sciences in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences.
Stanger-Hall has noticed a slow transition of schools expanding their sexual health education, she said.
"I think, overall in the country, the trend is going away from abstinence-only education," Stanger-Hall said.
Stanger-Hall and her husband, David Hall, a genetics professor in UGA's Franklin College, released a study last year that showed states with sexual health education beyond abstinence-only programs had fewer teen pregnancies. They also looked at education level, family income, access to Medicaid and ethnicity in the study.
The South has a more diverse population, and lower average incomes than other regions — two factors that usually correlate with a higher rate of teen pregnancies, Stanger-Hall said.
But teaching outside of abstinence-only education could help lower those rates, she said.
"It's important to teach kids about how their body works and how to prevent sexually transmitted diseases, and how to prevent pregnancies," she said. "As adults, they can actually plan their families."
During the past few years, she's noticed teachers receiving more training about how to talk to their students about sexual health, she said.
Teachers with more training are better prepared to answer students' questions and more clearly communicate information about sexual health, Stanger-Hall said.
"(Teenagers) can make educated decisions ... rather than not getting educated because parents don't like to think about their teenagers having sex," she said.

THE ANCIENT CITY of Luang Prabang in north-central Laos appeared only slightly changed from our last visit, some eight years ago. To be perfectly frank, Luang Prabang has remained virtually unchanged in some respects for centuries but rapidly changed in other ways due to the increase in tourism.. This elegant, former capital sits on the banks of the Mekong River and is known as one of the three seats of Lao culture. After one and a half days of roughing it on a Mekong River boat cruise, the charming colonial vintage wooden houses were greatly appreciated. We came across two fine examples of local architecture in a street opposite the pier: The Sansamone Guesthouse and The Antique House.
The weekend we arrived, the Lao National Youth Games (Gila Yaowachone) were underway in a large fair ground close to the city; all tents and stalls by day, music and neon lights by night. Preparations are underway for the forthcoming Sea Games in 2009, and the people of Luang Prabang are expecting vast numbers of visitors for this prestigious event.
The city has a population of around 25,000; 75% of whom are Buddhist, many representing the 68 tribes in the province who, dressed in colorful costumes, come to sell their wares each day at the city's Phosy market.
We drove to the Grand Hotel, a collection of colonial buildings connected by colonnaded walkways across a courtyard, and enjoying a magnificent panorama of the mighty Mekong. Guests can enjoy a buffet breakfast on the terrace by the riverside, and later wander through a museum in the former home of Lao nationalist hero-Prince Petcharath that sits in the hotel's compound.
That evening, we dined at the beautiful Indochine Spirit restaurant, enjoying fried chicken and mixed vegetables, gaeng orm, pla paad ped, tohmsom gai soup and gluai cheram for dessert.
Taking an after dinner stroll, we wandered down a walking street for shoppers that, in October of 2006, was some 300 meters in length, and is now almost one kilometer long with simple stalls carrying most things that visitors would wish to buy. There are many shops and small bistros where the shopper can take a break with hot coffee and pastries.
Like Chiang Mai, Luang Prabang boasts many beautiful temples. There are 36 temples within the small municipality. Perhaps the grandest of which is Wat Xieng Thong, situated on an embankment of the Mekong. The wat itself is most impressive, with a low sweeping double-tiered roof covering exquisite interior and exterior decoration in classic Luang Prabang style. There are various chapels and other buildings that combine to make this monastery complex an architectural treasure. An ornately carved funeral carriage, for the last king who died in 1965, is housed in one of the monasteries buildings with the compound.
The former royal palace is now the city's museum. There are several large buildings located there. Cameras, personal bags, and purses are not allowed to be carried inside. Hats must be removed. There is an admission charge (and at every wat we visited).On display are many collections of artefacts as well as the gifts presented by countries and visiting royalty until the l970's.
We next visited a co-operative weaving centre at Baan Phanom where visitors can see the variety of the ancient skill of hand-weaving cottons and silks. Another village specializing in weaving and the sale of woven textiles is Baan Sang Hong.
Back in town, we visited the sacred golden Buddha image at the 500 year old Wat Visoun. Our guide explained that the unusual posture of this image, with the Buddha's arms extended toward the ground, his palms open to the worshippers. This, we were told, is known as Buddha opening up the world. Inside this ancient temple, we received the traditional Lao blessing of "Kaw hai kaeng, yai, yao," wishing that each of us achieve strength, positions of power and long life.
We then drove out of the city to inspect the popular Villa Santi hotel with 58 rooms, including three suites, and a massage centre.Guests enjoy cool drinks under wide umbrellas by an inviting swimming pool.
A typical menu and along with prices as of March 2007 was: Lao Beer US$ 3.00 Fruit Shake US$2.50. Pad Thai noodles US$3.00- Lao Fried Rice US$3.00- Tuna Sandwich is US$3.00- (We never ate at restaurants in the market.) Exchange rates were often posted. 1 Baht = 270 kip, 1 US$ = 9500 kip, 1US$ 36 Baht up to 38 Baht.
Following this was a one hour drive south to visit the Kuang Xi waterfall, about 37 kilometers from the city. On the way we passed through villages whose inhabitants are paid salaries by the European Union to ensure that the teak trees in the area continue to flourish.
The spectacular waterfall is located in an ideal area deep in the forest, away from human habitation. It makes a perfect place for rest and relaxation. Also great for the kiddies in the family, is the chance to see the Thapene park housing a tiger and a bear in cages.
Returning to the city we enjoyed massages before taking an evening stroll through the labyrinth of old streets, spotting many fine restaurants on our travels. Both L'Elephant, which Chiang Mai friends had raved about, and the Three Elephants restaurants looked most inviting. The Blue Lagoon and the Couleur Café were also heavily patronized. La Residence Phou Lao offers 32 rooms for lodging and is one of the new boutique places to stay.
Later in the evening we popped into the Pizza Luang Prabang where the topic of conversation was the latest craze among young travelers who visit the remote village of Vang Viang, that of "Tubing".
Participants get themselves into inner tubes and hurtle down a fast flowing river. Vang Viang is a six-hour bus ride from Luang Prabang.
Back at the Grand Hotel, and trying to put those "delicacies" out of our minds, we ate a hearty breakfast on the terrace and watched the several boats slowly travel up the river. Then it was all aboard our Lao Airlines flight for the trip home to Chiang Mai.
Gazing down from the plane, the golden stupa of Vat Chamsi on the Phousi Mount can be seen along with the Mekong river flowing passed. It's a superb view of the many golden stupas shining in the afternoon sun. The next time we visit, we really will have to make the effort to climb the 328 steps to admire the glorious colors of the sunset. We have wonderful memories of our visit to Luang Prabang, and have vowed not to stay away so long next time.

I'm just doing this as exercise and preparation for military should I decide to enlist. I don't have a frame for the pack, is that something I should get? When I put a 35 lb plate in there it pokes out because there is no backing for the pack. Heavy solid objects don't seem to sit very well in ALICE packs. Any advice?
Views: 2580
This is actually some good advice. Ill stop being a pussy
Shane is tracking on this. It's not just the weight, but also the bulk. When you do most military training (FTX, Schools, etc) you will have a prescribed list of what needs to be in your ruck. For right now I would suggest getting rid of the plates and going with sandbags. Start light...35 pounds is OK...and then progress both in wight and distance. Do not run with a ruck if you plan on having knees/lower back in your older years.
You need a frame. After you get a frame then pack the weight so that it sits high in the ruck and close to the body. There is a pocket for a radio that was purpose built for putting the weight close and high.
Frames are key, also as was already pointed out, the weight goes on top. finally, 35 lbs isn't even the minimum weight for a ruck run, 45 is. i'd recommend getting used to 65 if you are going to join the infantry. If you aren't joining the Infantry, well then what are you doing?
Ditto on everything Aaron and Sean said. Get a frame, make sure the belt is tight around your waist, carry the heaviest part of your load up high on the pack. The only thing I would add is find a mental "happy place" to go to when you are on the move.
I would say experiment with the belt/hip pad. I know some that it works well for. I can't use it well. I find it puts too much pressure on my hips and tends to rub me raw after awhile. It also makes it difficult to dump your ruck if the tactical situation calls for it.
Load it with sand or corn.
At an outdoor outfitter they used sandbags to help check packs when I was shopping. But corn may be better as it is a little less dense then ground rock. This should fill out your back better.
The frame will help, but the pack was built for a specific torso length. If your torso isn't that length it'll never fit the way a good pack should.
My suggestion, go and get measured at an outdoor supply store, and buy a pack that can be sized to fit you. Once you do, it'll change your whole perspective. However, once in the military you'll have to use what they supply.
Ok, this is from a former Marine Grunt. Get the frame. Also use the belt. The A.L.I.C.E. Pack was designed to rest on the hips. Not the shoulders. Makes a worlds of difference. Also, for added weight, use 1 gallon water jugs. Water is very heavy. Also serves multiple purposes. You can drink it as you go, thus it helps with hydration. Its easy to lighten the load for your return trip.
I agree with the posters above. Heavy items up top. Get the plates out.
Lot's of good advice so far. I once did 100 miles in four days with an ALICE pack. The long and the short of it is that they really aren't all that comfortable. If you customize your pack to the point where it's comfortable, you're defeating (what appears to be) your purpose - preparing yourself to carry weight in an ALICE pack.
A couple other thoughts: Build up to heavier loads gradually to avoid inuring yourself and delaying your preparations. Start with 15 or 20 lbs and gradually increase to 55 - 60 lbs over a period of 12 - 14 weeks. Learn the Airborne Shuffle. If you try to run with a 55 lb pack the way that you run normally, you're going to injure yourself. I made a video of the Airborne Shuffle for another forum. Here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QldGPM_Z9-8
As you view the video, keep in mind that my speed in the video is relatively fast. I've built up to the point where I can run 8:15 miles for quite a distance while carrying a pack. It's going to take you a while to get there (and there's really no need to get to that level of speed). You might target a 12-14 minute mile with a 55 lb pack.

UPDATE: ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons Thrilled by Recreation of 'Tres Hombres' Photo: 'I Stand in Awe'
Many ZZ Top fans have had their mouths water at the sight of the sumptuous feast found on the gatefold photo of 1973's Tres Hombres. Now, an Austin chef has recreated that meal and filmed the process, which included sitting down to eat it.
Thomas Micklethwait, the owner of Austin's Micklethwait's Craft Meats, posted the above video, titled "ZZ Tom," to his Facebook page with the caption, "Sooooo … I really like Tex Mex and ZZ Top. And I'm a huge nerd. Thanks David Bessenhoffer for making this video! Now, my life is a little more complete."
Color ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons impressed. "It's crazy – absolutely nuts," Gibbons tells Texas Monthly. "I stand in awe of what he's accomplished. I have to hand it to him, he recreated every last element that you see in the centerfold with exacting detail. It's rather remarkable."
As "La Grange" plays in the video, the chef plates the main dish, an assortment of classic Mexican fare including tacos, rice and refried beans — all topped with generous portions of shredded cheese, with a stack of tortillas to the left. To the right are an order of nachos, and behind it are bowls of peppers, tomatoes, crema, limes and lemons, more cheese, an old radio and a picture of a woman (who looks a little like Salma Hayek) in front of a Mexican flag. When it's done, Micklethwait pulls the knife out of the citrus, grabs a fork and digs in.
Tres Hombres was ZZ Top's third album and their first to capture a mass audience, reaching No. 8 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart. The meal shown in the original photo was was prepared by the since-closed Leo's Mexican Kitchen in Houston, where the band regularly hung out and has its memorabilia on the walls.
Turns out, the photo shoot back then ended much the same way, except for one small detail: The band didn't get to consume that tasty meal. "At some point, we took a 15-minute break," Gibbons remembers, "and when we returned we found his German Shepherd laying on his side gasping for breath. He'd jumped up on the table and consumed the entire lot. He got it all."
Micklethwait's Craft Meats, a popular food truck located in East Austin, began serving barbecue in December 2012. It's been featured in Bon Appetit, Food & Wine and shows on the Cooking and Travel channels. (They also have a four-and-a-half-star rating on Yelp.) But the best, in fact, may still be to come – as Micklethwait's could welcome a new celebrity customer soon.
"I owe him a visit for sure," Gibbons tells Texas Monthly. "His accomplishment is significant. Next time I'm through, we should invite half the city of Austin to come with us and sample the Tres Hombres platter. He'd make another, right? Tell him I'm coming."

January 18, 2013
(SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Jan. 18, 2013) SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher's third annual State of the University address focused attention on Empire State College's strengths in open and online learning and the college's expertise in evaluating learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom by highlighting SUNY REAL, the recognition of experiential and academic learning.
Open SUNY includes 10 new online bachelor's programs that meet high-need workforce demands, three of which will be piloted in the fall. Open SUNY will leverage online-degree offerings at every SUNY campus, making them available to students systemwide using a common set of online tools, including a financial-aid consortium, so that credits and aid can be received by students across campuses.
"Around the world, online and blended learning and education has increased at an explosive rate and during the last decade, the SUNY system has been a leader in innovation and quality assurance," said Acting President Meg Benke. "Now, Open SUNY is potentially the greatest expansion of open and online learning in the nation and Chancellor's Zimpher's commitment to bringing Open SUNY to every campus in the system is highly commendable."
Zimpher said Open SUNY enrollment will reach 100,000 students within three years, making it the largest online-education presence of any public institution in the nation.
Benke noted that Empire State College already is a leader in delivering online and blended education and will be a factor in student success as it is defined by the chancellor.
Right now, the college's Center for Distance Learning enrolls more than 8,000 students, offers 500 online courses and provides 70 percent of the system's online bachelor's programs. Many of the college's students enrolled at learning centers throughout the state also take online courses through CDL.
"We also are helping our students to translate real-world experience – such as military service or time in the workplace – into college credit," said Zimpher. "Our program, which is under development at Empire State College, is called SUNY REAL. It will meet the learner where he or she is, and through prior-learning assessment by highly qualified faculty experts, will dramatically diminish the need for the repeat courses or costly skills training they already have.

The process of opening up and liberalizing an economy is never an easy thing. It's especially hard for Myanmar, a Southeast Asian country which has been closed off from the world until recently. While a stronger rule of law seems to form as the years go by, those looking to buy property or stocks should do extensive due diligence before investing in Myanmar.
There are three key areas where the government has big plans for change. They are the financial incentives for foreign investors, the Myanmar-EU Investment Protection Agreement, and a new stock exchange.
Myanmar is Reducing its Incentives for Investors
Foreign investment is one of the biggest driving forces in shaping up Myanmar's economy. In order to attract more investment, the government has taken specific sets of measures to improve the investment environment by updating its legal structure and investment law, as well as modernizing its infrastructure.
In particular, with regards to investment, the country has combined two of its investment laws – the Foreign Investment Law and Myanmar Citizens Investment Law.
Investment into the country has been steadily increasing with the majority of the FDI flowing into Myanmar focusing on its natural resources, particularly the hydropower, natural gas, and mining sectors. With actual investment surpassing expectations of the government, it is now concerned that the current incentives being offered has been "excessive".
Additionally, the government is apprehensive that these attractive incentives could be taken advantage of by "irresponsible" investors. With these things in mind, it is widely expected that, before the year end, the degree of incentives will be greatly reduced.
One of the incentives that are expected to be removed is the tax relief provided to certain imported automobiles, which has immensely brought down the price of vehicles in the country. Also, the government will require an inspection from a non-governmental organization for any duty-free materials brought into the country.
Myanmar-EU Investment Protection Agreement
A legally binding level of protection for private investment in Myanmar and all 28 EU members is nearly complete.
The Myanmar-EU Investment Protection Agreement is expected to be finished by early 2016. Many tough negotiations took place before this point. Early February 2015 year saw the first round of negotiations, with the second round promptly happening in May. The final round is tentatively scheduled for December.
According to U Aung Naing Oo, the director general of Myanmar's Directorate of Investment and Company Adminstration, the agreement will attract firms with quality ethics that will create jobs, increase exports, and transfer technology and knowledge to the local population. He believes that most of the EU firms are actually perfect matches with the local criteria and that the agreement will go further by also protecting investors from Myanmar who wish to enter the EU market.
The EU currently has a trade surplus with Myanmar. In 2014, net exports from EU were around 494 million euros worth of goods to Myanmar, while only importing 392 million euros worth.
Further analysis into which of the EU countries are the biggest investors into Myanmar reveals that it is the UK leading the race with a large gap from its next competitors, the Netherlands and France.
Stock Exchange to Help Foreigners Investing in Myanmar
In an effort to catch up to its more prosperous neighbors in terms of financial sector development, Myanmar will be seeking to open its very first bourse in December 2015.
The Yangon Stock Exchange (YSX) is currently in its development stages with two Japanese firms, the Daiwa Institute of Research Ltd, which holds a 30.25% stake, and the Japan Exchange Group, with an 18.75% stake. One of the results from this opening was the banning of all over-the-counter [OTC] markets.
The YSX will also be commercially taxed.
However, it's possible that the tax on transactions could be removed, and a wide range of financial incentives to encourage investment be implemented.
According to the finance ministry, transactions on the YSX will not involve any direct cash transactions – all transactions will be processed via Kanbawza Bank. There will be some security measures put into place as well. For example, any transactions higher than 100 million Kyat (~US$78,000) will obligate the banks involved to inform the financial crime unit and the Central Bank of Myanmar's anti-money laundering program.

* CFTC turns back the clock with "new" rule
* Measure increases CFTC oversight of CPOs, CTAs
* Latest action by CFTC following MF Global collapse
By Christopher Doering
WASHINGTON, Feb 9 (Reuters) - The Commodity Futures Trading Commission approved a rule on Thursday designed to shed more light on trading in the futures and swaps markets, the agency's latest effort to protect customers following the collapse of MF Global last October.
The rule, which was approved 4-1 in private by the CFTC's five commissioners, would require investment companies such as mutual funds that invest in commodities to register with the CFTC. It reinstates measures in place prior to 2003.
The CFTC said the rule would help the agency increase its oversight of commodity pool operators - an entity where funds from multiple investors are combined to trade or to invest - and commodity trading advisors.
"The financial crisis, and now the collapse of MF Global, highlights the need for more accessible and effective customer protection measures," said Scott O'Malia, a Republican CFTC commissioner.
"These rule changes will remove a major loophole that has allowed certain funds to market and sell investments in commodity futures markets, but remain outside the jurisdiction of the Commission," he said.
The changes were first proposed by the National Futures Association, one of the CFTC's self-regulatory organizations, in August of 2010.
Jill Sommers, the other Republican commissioner, was the lone dissenter. She said the CFTC went beyond what was needed to address NFA's concerns, and it risks "disrupting a significant number of business structures."
"While I agree that the Commission has a regulatory interest in the activities of commodity pools, this overstates the case and gives a false impression that the data we gather will enable us to actively monitor pools for systemic risk, that we have the resources to do so, and that we will do so," she said in a statement.
The rule, which was first proposed by the CFTC on January 26, 2011, will go into effect 60 days after its published in the government's federal diary.
MF Global filed for bankruptcy on Oct. 31 after investors and customers became rattled over the firm's $6.3 billion bet on European sovereign debt. Investigators are still trying to find more than $600 million in missing customer money.
The collapse increased pressure on the regulator to ramp up efforts to boost protection and segregation of customer collateral.
In recent weeks, the CFTC approved rules that restrict the investment of futures customer funds, and another that protects cleared swaps customer contracts and collateral. It also recently concluded an industry-wide spot check of major futures brokerages, and did not find any material breaches of customer fund protections.
In addition, Reuters reported earlier this month that Gary Gensler, the chairman of the CFTC, ordered an extensive review of how futures brokerages are regulated by the agency.

Coming from a family deeply entrenched in films it was a natural choice that Karisma would one day enter the world of cinema herself. Making her film debut in 1991, Karisma went on to become one of the most popular actresses of her generation. During her career, she has been part of many commercially and critically successful films, Raja Hindustani being the most notable of them, as it was her biggest commercial success, and won Karisma her first Filmfare Best Actress Award. Later she surprised critics and audiences with her performances in art films such as Fiza in 2000 and Zubeidaa in 2001, for which she earned a Best Actress and Best Actress (Critics) awards at the Filmfare ceremony. Since then, she has worked in several films though most of them performed poorly at the box office. In 2003, Kapoor took a break from cinema. It was at this point that Karisma tied the knot with industrialist Sanjay Kapur, CEO of Sixt India, in an hour long Sikh wedding ceremony.
So today we at J4JUMPY.NET celebrate this true 'Karisma' of Bollywood in wishing her a very happy birthday. You too can send in your wishes by posting them in below.

Stuart Wood is a second generation group travel organiser who learnt much invaluable expertise from going on trips with his father, Jim. Val Baynton discovers how organising trips has changed in the last 50 years.
For Stuart Wood, organising holidays and outings is second nature; he learnt the 'tools of the trade' as a young boy, accompanying his father, James (known as Jim), on the trips he organised for the Newport and County Horticultural Society in Monmouthshire in the 1950s. Now, for Bexhill Horticultural Society, he organises around eight one-day outings and one four-night break for his 450 members each year. Members of other local gardening clubs such as the Allotment Society and the Flower Arranging group, which Stuart is also involved with, often join the outings too. Whilst visiting gardens is a priority for his group, Stuart's trips include historic properties and heritage attractions such as steam railways, and he has several tips to share with other GTOs looking to create varied and good value itineraries. For example, many horticultural societies and gardening clubs are affiliated to the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), and membership brings many benefits such as special rates at RHS gardens.
Learning the ropes
After the Second World War, there was much interest in gardening as a result of the 'Digging for Victory' wartime effort and the Horticultural Society in Newport was well attended, says Stuart. The society had talks during the winter evenings from a variety of experts and nurseries such as Williamson Nursery in the Wye Valley (the pre-cursor of the national Wyevale Garden Centre chain). In the summer, the group would visit the places they had heard about in these talks and the trips were organised by Jim.
Jim was an assistant clerk in the goods department at the Great Western Railway and qualified for free tickets for his family for up to eight journeys a year, and discounted fares after that, so it was easy, Stuart says, 'for dad to go to venues to check their facilities and to organise the details for the society's visit later in the year, and I would often go along with him.' In those days, Stuart recalls, days out took time to organise as they didn't have a phone or a car, and so requests for information, and making and confirming bookings for coach hire and the attractions, all had to be made by letter. The society usually travelled on coaches hired from the Western Welsh Omnibus Company. He adds, 'It was fun to go out and about, and I remember the delightful treat of being given an ice-cream during a visit to a cafe in Stratford-upon-Avon, made as part of our preparations for the society outing taking in Shakespeare attractions such as Ann Hathaway's House.' Gradually, throughout his childhood, Stuart learnt the 'ins and outs' of organising and, as a result, he says, 'group organising is in my blood.'
Another difference Stuart singles out from organising today is the popularity of evening trips in the 1950s. Stuart explains, 'So few people had a car and televisions were still rare in most households so people enjoyed going out mid-week on an evening coach trip.' Popular destinations were private gardens and nurseries in the Wye Valley.
Stuart takes charge
Managing the Oakhaven Holiday Home in Bexhill, Stuart found he was organising many trips including theatre visits and days out at the races for his guests, who came for holidays in the seaside resort from their homes in Southwark, London. He was also involved in planning itineraries for the groups that visited Bexhill as part of the twinning towns scheme and this was how he met his first wife, Romanie. In 1976, she came to Oakhaven as the leader of a group of disabled adults from Deventer, Holland, and eventually moved to Bexhill and married Stuart. With such experience of, and passion for, organising outings, it was inevitable that when Stuart joined Bexhill Horticultural Society in 1994 – reflecting the interest in growing plants that he had developed as a boy and young man – that he began organising trips for the members, especially as this was an aspect of the society that had lapsed. He also became its Chairman, revitalised the finances and increased the membership of the group.
All in a day
The first trip Stuart arranged for the society was in 1996 to a private garden at Cobblers in Crowborough. This was very pleasant, he recalls, with ponds and herbaceous borders, and it was extremely successful with two coaches of members going along. Since then, Stuart has developed varied
itineraries for each year's programme of eight trips. He works around a year ahead so the itinerary can be published in the diary at the start of each year with reminders in newsletters that are sent by email and by post to members. To add variety and to suit as many members as possible, he selects different days of the week for the trips, varies the start and finishing times and the direction of travel, and in this way the group takes in Hampshire and west of London, West Sussex, East Sussex, Kent, Essex and London itself. In spring 2009, for example, the programme offered Highdown Chalk Pit Gardens, Worthing, in March and Athelhampton House and Garden, Dorchester, in April whilst, in May, the group visited Chichester and the private Cookscroft Garden with a stop at the nearby Aldingbourne Trust Centre.
Stuart generally books a 53-seater coach through Ramblers of Hastings and it is usually full. The group finds the drivers are always friendly and helpful, and the service reliable. Generally, the society travels for around two hours and then stops for refreshments before driving on to the main attraction. The journey home is also broken into two segments. 'I plan the comfort breaks very carefully,' Stuart explains. 'We like to support gardens that are run by disabled groups such as the Aldingbourne Centre and these make ideal short stops as do garden centres and RSPB wildlife reserves. I try to avoid motorway service stations as I think there are so many more interesting places to see and these breaks add value to our day out.' Other good refreshment stopovers are National Trust properties as restaurants can often be visited without paying an entrance fee (although most of the group are members of The National Trust) and gardens in the National Gardens Scheme (NGS), which open to raise funds for charity (see panel on page 42). These, Stuart notes, include Marle Place in Brenchley and are often very unusual, with surprising gardens – sometimes the group can book afternoon tea or lunches, frequently with delicious home made food. 'Supporting charity is very important to me and it's great that, whilst we are enjoying ourselves, we can help others.'
Although Stuart ensures his itineraries always include fresh ideas, the society does have some favourite attractions such as Sissinghurst Castle, Sheffield Park and Garden and the gardens at Nymans, which are all close to Bexhill. Further afield, the beautiful chateau Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire is also popular. 'There is so much to see in the gardens and aviary, as well as a good restaurant and garden centre,' says Stuart.
Over the years, the group has been to just about every National Trust property in the south east. Stuart states, 'We like to combine buildings and gardens. Some houses can only be visited with a guided tour but generally I don't book a guide so that members can go at their own pace and focus on the parts of the attraction that interest them most.' The RHS gardens at Wisley, Rosemoor, Hyde Hall and Harlow Carr regularly feature too. The group can make a complimentary visit each year to one of the gardens as part of the benefits of membership of the RHS, and Stuart makes sure the visits are timed for different seasons so that they get to see varying aspects of the garden .
Breaks away
The group's annual four-night break is usually in the UK, although they have visited Holland twice (where Stuart's Dutch connections were very helpful) and Normandy. Stuart masterminded the first trip to Holland in 2002, personally booking the whole itinerary including hotels and excursions. This was a complicated undertaking, he quickly realised, and now he uses a tour operator if travelling abroad, as this helps with currency and insurance issues. The trip was very successful though and, based at the hotel Avifauna at Aplhen ann den Rijn where there's free access to the adjacent bird park, the group visited the Floriade, which takes place every 10 years, and many gardens including Keukenhof.The second visit was a cruise through the bulb fields and was part of the society's 80th anniversary celebrations in 2009.
Stuart continues to organise the breaks within the UK himself, as this gives good value for money, and he adds in as many visits as possible to make the itinerary interesting. Breaks have included Scotland, in 2009, where the programme started in Rutland at Barnsdale Gardens before travelling to Harrogate for an overnight stay, visiting the RHS garden at Harlow Carr. The route north took the society via Betty's Tearooms in Harrogate and the Lake District. Once in Edinburgh, the Royal Yacht Britannia fascinated members and was one of many visits the group made, whilst the return journey allowed time for a call at Tatton Park near Knutsford.
In 2014, the extended break was to Derbyshire and Staffordshire with visits to Bolsover Castle, where the horse dressage was excellent, Lichfield and the National Memorial Arboretum.
The Future looks rosy
Stuart has been organising group travel for much of his life and his role looks set to continue well into the future. It's something he really enjoys doing as, through it, he supports the local community and many charitable efforts. Sadly his wife, Romanie, died in early 2012 after a long illness but Stuart has found new happiness with Hazel, and they plan to marry soon. Hazel is an avid flower arranger and members from the local Ninfield Flower Group now join in with the Horticultural Society's trips.
The National Gardens Scheme
As Stuart Wood notes, the private gardens in the National Gardens Scheme (NGS) offer GTOs opportunities for unusual visits to a range of private gardens. The small entrance fee charged is donated to charity. Groups should always pre-book.
The NGS developed from a 19th century movement to train district nurses. After the death of his wife in 1859, Liverpool merchant William Rathbone raised funds to recruit and train nurses to work in deprived areas of the city. This concept of district nursing gained the support of Florence Nightingale and Queen Victoria, and it spread across the country as a voluntary organisation. In memory of its 20th century patron, Queen Alexandra, who died in 1925, a special fund was set up to support nurses who were retiring and one of the volunteer council members, Miss Elsie Wagg, suggested that money could be raised by asking people to open their gardens to visitors and charge a modest entry fee that would be donated. In 1927, the NGS was thus established with a suggested donation of a shilling (5 pence) per visitor. In the first year, 609 gardens raised over £8,000.
By 1931, over 1,000 private gardens opened nationally. Country Life magazine produced a handbook to list the open gardens and it became known as The Yellow Book because of its bright cover.
After the Second World War, the National Health Service took on the District Nursing Service but money was still needed to care for retired nurses and to invest in training. In 1980, the National Gardens Scheme Charitable Trust was established as an independent charity. During the 1980s and 1990s, charities such as Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie Cancer Care and Help the Hospices became beneficiaries of the funds raised. Since 2010, a different annual 'guest' charity is also supported, chosen from recommendations from NGS volunteers.
Since its foundation, the NGS has donated over £42.5 million to its beneficiary charities, of which nearly £23 million has been donated within the last 10 years.
Supporting community gardening
The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) is a UK charity, founded in 1804, and aims to encourage and improve the science, art and practice of horticulture in all its branches. Local horticultural societies and gardening clubs are encouraged to affiliate to the RHS to receive a range of benefits such as copies of the RHS magazine Grass Roots, to tap into resources and access a variety of support from expert speakers to insurance cover at competitive rates. Currently there are around 3,000 groups linked to the RHS.
As an RHS Affiliated Society, a group can make an annual visit, for up to 55 members, to one of the four RHS gardens – Wisley in Surrey, Hyde Hall in Essex, Rosemoor in Devon and Harlow Carr in Harrogate. Each garden has its own character and speciality but all offer a great day out. In addition, there are extra-special group rates for affiliated societies who also want to visit any of the other RHS gardens in the same year, and for RHS flower shows, as well as extra discounts on the normal group rate at a number of partner gardens throughout the country. These offers vary from year to year and must be booked in advance with each partner.
For non-RHS affiliated groups, there are special discounts for group visits including free places for GTOs and coach drivers at the four RHS gardens. Groups can explore at their own pace or book a guided tour.

President Obama steps back into the political ring tomorrow morning, though this figures to be more of a sparring match.
Obama will take questions at a Senate Democratic retreat, much as he did Friday at a similar event Friday with House Republicans.
White House officials thought their man did well in his jousting with House GOP opponents. They've talked about the event every day since, and even posted video of it on the White House website.
Obama himself also seemed pleased, and mentioned it today at his town hall in New Hampshire. "We aired some grievances," Obama said. "We shared some ideas."
It will be interesting to see if there are any grievances with Senate Democrats in light of recent political setbacks. Also expect the group to talk about the way forward on health care.
