In the business and innovation area Sustainable Cities and Communities, RISE has brought together expertise in areas such as construction engineering, energy systems, circular transformation, infrastructure, ICT and design. We are enhancing capabilities to meet the development and innovation needs of cities and communities for sustainable transformation.
The sustainable cities and communities of the future are vibrant. They are equipped for a changed climate where green and blue surfaces dampen the effect of large volumes of water, and contribute to biodiversity, better health and greener urban environments. They promote integration, interaction and experiences, and offer a well-functioning, safe and secure everyday life for residents, visitors and entrepreneurs.
Through our networks, strategic innovation programmes, innovation platforms and large challenge-driven projects, both nationally and at EU level, we invite collaboration. New technologies, materials, processes and services are tested and verified in our testbeds and demonstration facilities. We also work with long-term strategies and policy change.
The business area focuses on six areas:
This focus area combines technology, health and behaviours – fields of expertise which are utilised, and complement one another, in a vibrant city.
We contribute to the development of smart, integrated solutions in the built environment so that energy, water, fibre-optics and transportation gain greater benefit from each other.
We support the capability of cities and communities to prevent and manage crises resulting from an increasingly complex society and changing climate and security situations.
Globalisation, migration, urbanisation and digitalisation are intertwining the local with the global, resulting in the most monumental societal change in modern history for cities and communities. The focus area lends support in this complex transformation.
The focus area supports and drives the development of smart, sustainable cities with the support of data-driven innovation and applied ICT solutions.
Our modes of transport inform how we build cities and societies. The focus area addresses this ongoing paradigm shift in terms of future transport and mobility in cities.

Sixth Anniversary Rude Reader Socialist Uprising (Day 3):
Damn, it's just day three, and people across these United States, Canada, and the UK have contributed to the rudeness (with special love to California). And you can, too. Toss some money into the new computer and too-much whiskey fund by clicking below. Or over on the side, if you're a rebel. Click that fucker like you're voting for Tom DeLay on Dancing With the Stars ('cause the Rude Pundit wants that fucker dancing until he has a stroke).
Note to those waiting for the P.O. Box: another charming effect of 9/11 - the need for two i.d.'s at the post office. Live and learn, man, live and learn.

Members of Master Wolf's Taekwon-Do Academies recently traveled to Germany as part of the England Kickboxing Team. Below is the report from www.wkuengland.co.uk
Report by Dave Ledley and Lee Ralph
It was 6:15am on Friday morning, a sense of anticipation in the air as the WKU national light contact squad gathered wide eyed and ready for battle. (Luckily no one overslept and nearly ruined everything!)
The journey was long but the musical stylings of Mr Lee Ralph and his tiny guitar kept us well entertained with some very enthusiastic singing from all.
Upon arrival at the sports centre (number 7 in Adam James' 'Sports halls and hotel event rooms around the world' travel guide) we all gathered in a large England squad-shaped pile of bags and people in the middle of the hall and awaited the start of the competition.
Because I wasn't volen-told about writing this until after the competition I didn't pay enough attention to remember the order of fights so we'll go up in weights!
Layla birks won a great cadet bronze in -45kg points, followed by Jasmine Grant getting gold in the -50kg light contact ending her fight with a massive side kick to her opponents throat just to make sure! Aysel Garip shook off a monstrous turning kick to the face to win a bronze in -60kg light contact!
And to finish off the junior girls medal haul Julia Krupinska won a silver in points and Katie Gillott battled through to a points bronze in +60kg
For the junior boys Bradley Grant put on a very impressive display to get a silver in -35kg light con and a bronze in points thanks to his relentless machine gun-like pump side kick.
Billy Scorer picked up a silver in light contact and Lewis Richardson completed the set with a silver in points both at -45kg
Even though he'd been up all night ill, was sick when he got off the coach at the competition and at the side of the ring mid-fight Connor Smith showed incredible resolve and determination to get both a bronze in points and a silver in light contact at -50kg.
Lone'er Kavannah added a gold to the tally in -55kg light contact - our pile of bags was now becoming littered with trophies looking not unlike the nest of a particularly successful magpie!
Elliot Allen got a silver in light con at -65kg - an impressive achievement you might think, until you learn that at 2 seconds notice he then went on to win gold in the adults light contact -65kg forcing his opponent to throw in the towel!
Luke Wadsley added a light contact bronze to the total in -70kg light contact to finish off the junior boys medal haul!
Kim Bradshaw put everything in, dug deep and came out victorious with a gold in +65 light contact!
Jamaine Hemmings stepped onto the field of battle to kick off the men's categories winning a bronze in -70kg light contact followed by Chris Djaelani steaming through to gold in light contact -75kg.
Dave Ledley tried a new tactic of wearing down his opponent by head butting his fists with his head, although it ultimately ended in a loss he would like to point out that given another 2 minutes he's sure his opponent would have become exhausted and he would have picked up an easy win. He's also sure that his giant opponents fists were probably quite bruised and will be uncomfortable for days.
Chase Morton stepped up having already fought in the full contact to get both a bronze in the -75kg light con and gold in the -80kg light con!
Chris Leighton put on a great show to make it through to the final of the +90kg light contact where he met Adam James who had just seen off his opponent in the semis with a great display of determination and power. Adam and Chris slugged it out in the final like a couple of silverbacks fighting over territory, Adam eventually emerged the winner, getting gold in +90kg light contact and Chris getting a close silver.
Lee Ralph took home a bronze in the veterans -80kg light contact in his first international competition with Wes Lucas picking up the bronze in points.
Steve Gunn kicked off his first international competition with a bronze in points at -70kg exec vets and a gold in light contact after scaring off his opponents before they'd even stepped into the ring!
Steve Morgan broke his foot in the first round of the -80kg exec vets light contact but still managed not only to continue fighting, but to win gold - before heading straight off to win silver in points! Have a sit down Steve!
Adam Smith made a surprise return to competition scoring a well earned two points in his +80kg veterans points fight - welcome back!
All told the final medal count was:
Gold, 9
Silver, 9
Bronze, 11
It was a very long day and everyone did a brilliant job representing their country and should all be very proud of what they've achieved! Lessons will have been learned and there's a lot to work on now before the Worlds in London at the end of August!

Would it be possible to allow general filtering sets that can be attached to folders to have three options:
Apply filtering to read messages Apply filtering to unread messagesApply filtering to all messages
I have an account set up that receives notification messages from our security software and OS processes. I have new mail filtering rules set up that generally sort the messages into dedicated folders when the account is opened, and have general filtering rules attached to those folders that allow fine grained filtering.
Some of these folders have thousands of read messages and when I open that folder, the filtering process can take 30secs or longer. I assume this is because the filtering rules are being applied to every single message. From my point of view it would be useful to be able to configure an option to apply the rule to unread messages only. If I need to change the rule it may need to apply to all messages.
Would anyone else find this useful? The amount of time saved in the long run would soon add up.
As it stands now, large folders are an issue both for filtering and the file size limit. I'm sure v5 will address the size issue but selective folder filtering on the read status would be a nice addition provided checking the status results in significantly improved efficiency.

A melancholy lesson of advancing years is the realisation that you can't make old friends.
Christopher Hitchens, Unacknowledged Legislation: Writers in the Public Sphere
A few years ago one of my colleagues told me about his experience of visiting his mother in an "old people's home". Usually, he said, he spent his weekly visits talking just with his mum, and he saw the other residents in the home not as individuals with lives and stories, but more as a collection of geriatrics whose presence in his mother's home he had no choice but to tolerate.
Then one day his mum was busy with something when he turned up for his visit and he had nothing else to do but talk with some of the people sharing the roof over his mother's head. And he realised that they were amazing. He heard extraordinary stories about the lives that people had lead, the things they'd achieved and the sacrifices they'd had to make. It was a good reminder for him, he said, to always look behind the possible decrepitude to see the life and the love and the story.
A number of months ago I made a new friend in Geneva. I was sitting at a bus stop outside of the Art Geneve exhibition at Palexpo and the lady sitting next to me took an English novel out of her handbag, so I struck up a conversation with her. By the time we'd reached Cornavin we'd established that she was born in the same year as my mum and I was born in the same year as her daughter. This, to me, is a very special kind of friendship, for reasons that those who know me well will understand (and those who don't can read about here). The next time we met we went to see a photography exhibition and spent about five hours telling each other about our lives. It was at the end of that rendezvous that I told her that I was going to be in The Vagina Monologues and she said she'd like to come along.
And she did. My lovely 72-year-old friend K was there in the audience for the matinee performance, laughing and crying and whooping it up with the best of them. The hug I got from her after the show was more important to me than perhaps she realises.
One of the monologues that K was most touched by was The Flood, which was based on Eve Ensler's interviews with a group of women between 65 and 75. One of the women said that she'd never had an orgasm and had cried when she'd seen her clitoris for the first time at the age of 72. Eve Ensler wrote The Flood for her, and our directors cast the wonderful Christina to play her part. They couldn't have chosen better. Christina's warmth, charm and humour paid perfect tribute to the woman and the life that she might have had if things had panned out differently for her.
After the matinee performance of the play K asked if I could introduce her to Christina. A brief but beautiful moment passed between a 72-year-old woman and a woman decades younger who had played a 72-year-old woman.
It was a good reminder to all of us to always look behind the possible decrepitude to see the life and the love and the story.

Senators (15-9-2, 2nd in Atlantic):
- 12-7 Sharks (Sens 4, Sharks 2)
- 12-10 Kings (Kings 4, Sens 1)
- 12-11 Ducks (Ducks 5, Sens 1)
Hurricanes (10-10-5, 7th in Metropolitan):
- 12-7 Ducks (Ducks 6, Canes 5 in SO)
- 12-8 Kings* (Canes 3, Kings 1)
- 12-10 Sharks (Sharks 4, Canes 3)
Both Ottawa and Carolina look to grab points out in California during the second half of this week starting Wednesday night in San Jose and Anaheim. The Senators are coming off a frustrating 8-5 loss against the Penguins this past Monday. However, except for one more overtime loss, they have a record identical to the Sharks going into trip. Craig Anderson, the Sens' netminder, was named as the first star of the week last week. The Hurricanes had a rocky start to the season but are slowly working their way into becoming strong competitors this season.
*I will be attending the Kings-Canes game Thursday night in LA with a few buddies. The Kings will be looking to take advantage of a Carolina team in the 2nd of back-to-back games.
The Senators could come out with guns blazing against the Sharks, who have not played since their win against the Canadians 5 days ago. The Ducks are coming off of a hard loss against the Flames and should set the tone against the Hurricanes early tonight if they want a good chance of winning.

Vinyl Record Art
Rick Sans and Serganddestroy have been exhibiting art as a duo since 2007. They originally started doing art by screen-printing tee shirts as one off pieces of wearable art in 2005. This lead to further exploration of mediums and media by creating art on found objects. Doing art on vinyl records has been a mainstay of the duo's collaborative effort since nearly the beginning. Early on they became part of the designer toy movement customizing designer toys. Since then they have created their own figures adding further to the wide variety of platforms, which they create with. Each year they continue to take on new events and additional projects.

Ohio Forts 1753
The following information can be found among the Ordnance papers in the Public Records Office, London, England. This information might be of interest to readers researching the French and Indian Wars.
P.R.O.London, Reference WO 47/41, pages 316,317. 17th April 1753
Received an Order of the Right Honourable the Lords Committee of Council for Plantation Affairs dated the 3rd Instant signifying that his Majesty having been pleased by his Order in Council of the 7th of last Month to refer unto them an extract of a Letter from Robert Dinwiddie Esq. Lieutenant Governour of his Majesty's Colony of Virginia to the Lords Commissionors for Trade and Plantations representing the Utility of Building some Forts upon (the) Ohio River in the western part of that Colony for the security and protection of his Majesty's subjects and the Indians in Alliance with his Majesty, and proposing that Twenty or Thirty cannon Three Pounders may be forthwith sent from hence to place in the said Forts, That the Lords of the Committee took the same into their consideration and were pleased to refer the said extract of a Letter to the Lieutenant General and other Principal Officers of the Ordnance to consider thereof and report to them what they conceive proper for his Majesty to do therein.
P.R.O.London, Refernce WO 47/41,pages 396,397. Old Palace Yard, Westminster, Tuesday 29th May 1753.
Received, an order of the Committee of Council for Plantation Affairs dated 15th Instant signifying that the Lieutenant General and Principal Officers of the Ordnance did by their report of the 17th ultimo represent to the said committee that they conceived the application of the Lieutenant Governour of Virginia for Thirty 3 pr. cannon with a proportion of Ordnance stores to be too early in regard the Forts are not yet erected and therefore could not think it advisable for his Majesty to grant the same until such time as at least a very considerable progress was made therein and plans transmitted whereby a true judgement might be formed of the number and nature of guns with the proportion of Ordnance stores that will be necessary to defend the same. That upon considering the said report their Lordships had ordered a copy thereof to be transmitted to the Lords Commissioners for Trade and Plantations with directions to reconsider the letter they had received from the Lieut. Governor in relation thereto, and to form the best opinion they could, as to the nature of the Forts proposed to be erected and to lay the same before their Lordships, Whereupon the Lords Commissioners reported that they apprehended from the Terms of Lieutenant Govr.Dinwiddies Letter and from the small size and number of the cannon required that the Forts proposed by him are nothing more than small wooden Blockhouses such as are usually erected in his Majesty's Colonies in America for the security of the Indians and the defence of his Majesty's subjects who trade amongst them. That the Lords of the Committe therefore ordered the Lieutenant General and Principal Officers of the Ordnance to prepare an estimate of the expence of Thirty Three cannon of 3 pounders with a proper proportion of stores for the use of the Forts so to be erected and lay the same before their Lordships.

text: A Blue View is a weekly perspective on the life aquatic, hosted by National Aquarium CEO John Racanelli.From the smallest plants and animals invisible to the human eye to entire ecosystems, every living thing depends on and is intricately linked by water.Tune in to 88.1 WYPR every Tuesday at 5:45 p.m. as John brings to the surface important issues and fascinating discoveries making waves in the world today.October 9: 2013 - Otherworldly OctopusesClick here to listen to John discuss some of ocean's most intelligent and amazing creatures!With eight arms, a bulbous head, thousands of suckers, a tongue covered in teeth, and three hearts, the octopus is like something out of a science fiction movie. And the more you know about these fascinating creatures, the stranger they seem.They can change body color, texture, and shape to blend in with their surroundings. Even large octopuses can fit through seemingly impossibly small spaces. They can open jars and dismantle objects. Their suckers can actually taste and feel. Some species glow, while others are transparent. Add powerful jaws with a venomous bite and the ability to regenerate limbs, and this is a creature with truly astounding capabilities.Part of the cephalopod family, which also includes cuttlefish and squid, octopuses can range in size, from the octopus wolfi at half an inch and only a few ounces to the giant Pacific octopus, averaging 16 feet across and 110 pounds.Solitary creatures, most octopus species live alone in dens. Females are known to eat their mates, and females often die after laying and caring for one clutch of eggs.Most of us don't perceive mollusks as intelligent creatures, but the octopus isn't a mindless invertebrate – far from it. Octopuses are surprisingly smart, with one report claiming that their intelligence is on par with that of a domestic cat. The nervous system includes a central brain and a large ganglion at the base of each arm that controls movement. These eight arms operate both independently of one another and together to accomplish tasks. And no doubt about it, octopuses are built to survive.Should an octopus lose one of its arms, due perhaps to a near-miss by a predator like a shark or seal, the octopus immediately starts regenerating the lost limb, somewhat like a starfish that loses an arm or a lizard that loses a tail. Because octopuses are so effective at this, scientists are studying them to learn the secrets of regrowth in hopes of applying those findings to humans, particularly in regards to tissue regeneration.Octopuses also avoid predators through camouflage. Masters of disguise, they can change color, texture, and body shape to hide from predators, instantaneously blending in with almost any background. In another protective strategy, octopuses can release ink that obscures an attacker's view and dulls its sense of smell, allowing a hasty escape. And because it they have no bones, this invertebrates can fit into incredibly small spaces and crevices, making the octopus extremely adept at staying out of harm's way.Perhaps one of the most interesting and amazing tactics in all of the animal kingdom belongs to the aptly named "vampire" squid, which is in fact an octopus. This wily deep sea dweller can bite off the end of one of its bioluminescent arms, which then floats away, luring a potential predator with its light and allowing an escape.

I LOVE Mini Boden and my kids have a decent amount of their clothing; however, it would be BEYOND amazing if they sold their fabric (which I realize totally defeats the purpose of them trying to sell their adorable wares), but I love their prints. Maybe they'll eventually partner with a fabric manufacturer to give those of use who like to sew clothing something to look forward to.

Cole Hamels feels fine. His results, not so great.
Hamels gave up the first grand slam of his career and the Phillies' left-handed ace muddled through his second straight sub-par outing this season as Philadelphia lost to the Kansas City Royals 9-8 on Sunday.
Hamels allowed eight runs and nine hits in 5 2-3 innings.
"I feel good," he said. "I definitely have good feel with all of my pitches. Unfortunately, it's not showing."
Billy Butler did the greatest damage against Hamels (0-2), hitting a grand slam that was confirmed by video review. Butler tied a team record with seven RBIs.
"It's unfortunate because grand slams definitely put your team behind," Hamels said. "No matter how many runs you have, a grand slam is a definite momentum changer. That's obviously what it did today."
Butler's first career slam came in the fifth inning and put Kansas City ahead 6-4.
James Shields (1-1), acquired in an offseason trade with Tampa Bay, earned his first victory with the Royals. The right-hander gave up hits to five of the first six batters in a four-run first, but settled down to blank the Phillies for the next five innings on five hits while striking out eight and walking none.
The Phillies trailed 9-4 entering the ninth. Jimmy Rollins homered as Philadelphia rallied, but the comeback ended when Erik Kratz struck out with runners at second and third.
"The biggest thing is we know we're never out of a game," said Philadelphia's Michael Young, who had four hits. "That's going to bode well for us as the season progresses. But we didn't get the win, so that's still the important thing."
The Phillies staked Hamels to a 4-0 lead with four first-inning runs off Shields, but he couldn't hold it.
Hamels walked four and struck out two. On opening day, he gave up five runs and seven hits in five innings in Philadelphia's 7-5 loss at Atlanta.
"It's giving up runs, not giving the team the opportunity to win," Hamels said. "When we're able to score runs early, you want to be able to keep the team in the ballgame. I wasn't able to do that."
The three-time All-Star has a 10.97 ERA after two starts.
"He was throwing the ball close to the plate but command was a problem," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "Cole usually doesn't walk guys and doesn't give up that many runs."
The fifth inning proved to be Hamels' undoing.
Chris Getz opened with a double, Alex Gordon reached on an infield single and Alcides Escobar walked to load the bases and set up Butler.
Butler hit a fastball just over the metal fence that tops the green padded wall in left field. The ball hit off a wall behind the field wall and bounced back into play.
The umpires originally ruled that the ball hit off the top of the wall before going to replay to confirm that it was a homer.
Butler came through with the bases loaded again in the sixth, hitting a two-run single off Chad Durbin. With the hit, Butler became the 12th Royals player to have seven RBIs.
Rollins started the ninth-inning rally by hitting a three-run homer to right off J.C. Gutierrez. Greg Holland relieved with one out and got Chase Utley to fly out before singles by Ryan Howard and Young put runners on first and second with two outs.
Reliever Kelvin Herrera gave up an RBI single to pinch-hitter Laynce Nix. After a wild pitch, Herrera struck out Kratz in a nine-pitch at-bat to earn his first save.
The Phillies struck out 14 times Sunday.
"We're going to be all right," Manuel said after the Phillies dropped to 2-4. "We have to put a solid ballgame together. It goes that way sometimes."
NOTES: The Phillies open a three-game home series against the Mets on Monday night. New York RHP Matt Harvey (1-0, 0.00) is scheduled to face Phillies RHP Roy Halladay (0-1, 13.50). ... Utley and Rollins have started 962 games together as double-play partners, ranking second among active combinations behind the Yankees' Derek Jeter and Robinson Cano (1,036).

Starting a family is without a doubt one of life's most major events. It means taking on a whole new level of commitment and responsibility. It also means starting what could be the most joyous chapter of your life. Because your future can follow a path that you perhaps have never before followed, it is important that you know without a hint of doubt whether or not you could be pregnant. You can get your first clue and decide whether or not to go to your doctor for more conclusive testing by taking a home pregnancy test first.
Home pregnancy tests come in a variety of forms today. You could try any of the do-it-yourself methods which involve adding urine to dandelion leaves or bleach and then awaiting a tell-tale chemical reaction. You could also use one of the many varieties of over-the-counter pregnancy testing kits sold at most retail and discount stores. People who want the most conclusive answer possible without going to the doctor often prefer to use the commercial pregnancy testing kits rather than any DIY variety. They believe that these kits are far more scientific and reliable than home remedies. Regardless of which method you choose, your primary goal may be to ensure that you get a positive pregnancy test if you are for sure pregnant.
If you use the over-the-counter variety of test, your positive indication will come in the form of either a plus sign or two blue or pink lines in the indicator window. If you use a digital test, the indicator window will say the word "positive" or "negative." These tests are within a 99 percent accuracy rate and are often regarded by doctors as confirmation of an early pregnancy. In fact, some medical clinics use these tests to confirm a pregnancy even before a doctor orders a blood test or an ultrasound. After you get a positive test result, you should then make plans to see your own doctor immediately for further testing. Your doctor can begin your prenatal care and monitor you for any signs of troubles like miscarriage or high blood pressure.
What To Do After A Positive Pregnancy Test?
After you get a positive pregnancy test result, you may wonder what you should do to safeguard your health and that of your unborn child. First, you should make an appointment with your primary care doctor or your obstetrician to confirm that you are in fact pregnant. Your doctor will confirm your pregnancy by ordering a blood test, which will reveal how much hCG pregnancy hormone is in your blood and how many weeks into your pregnancy you have progressed. A blood pregnancy test will also indicate if you have any health conditions like anemia that need to be addressed now to ensure your pregnancy can be carried to term.
You also would do well to stop taking any medications for which you do not need for your everyday health. If you are taking medications that contain aspirin, for example, you should stop taking them because aspirin can cause birth defects. You may switch to another pain reliever like acetaminophen. Likewise, if you smoke or drink alcohol or caffeine, you would do well to cut those habits out of your daily routine. Smoking and drinking alcohol can cause significant birth defects. Caffeine can stunt your baby's growth and also up your risk of having a miscarriage.
5 causes of thick-white-discharge and what they mean
Along with halting the use of medications and consuming alcohol and tobacco, you also may consider adding a prenatal vitamin to your daily regimen. Prenatal vitamins contain high amounts of nutrients like folate and iron that promote a healthy pregnancy and brain development in your unborn child. If the prenatal vitamin makes you nauseous, you should take it with food like saltine crackers or dry toast. These precautionary steps can ensure that you make it into your second trimester and that your pregnancy gets off to the healthiest start possible.
Earliest Positive Pregnancy Test?
Ensuring the best start of your pregnancy can involve taking a pregnancy test and getting a positive result as soon as possible. Most standard over-the-counter pregnancy tests require that you hold off testing until you miss the first day of your scheduled period. Some tests work even better if you hold off testing until you are a week late. However, other tests can be used even before you miss your period. Some are so sensitive to the presence of hCG that they can be used as soon as 11 days after conception takes place. That means that if you have a normal 28-day cycle that you can test up to three days prior to missing your period. If you know when your period should start this month, you can test about three days before that date.
If you do not have a regular cycle, however, you may have to watch for clues from your body before you miss a period and want to test. Some of the earliest signs of pregnancy include fatigue and congestion. Fatigue occurs because your body is working harder to sustain the pregnancy. It focuses its energy on your developing child first and your own health second. Congestion occurs because the blood in your body is circulating more intensely and causes the lining in your nasal passage to thicken. Many women find pregnancy-related congestion to be very annoying. As annoying as it is, you should not attempt to treat it with over-the-counter medications because of the risk the medicines could pose to your baby. You should instead use home remedies like vapor and steam, as well as saline water to reduce the swelling in your sinuses.
Another clue that may prompt you to test early involves the appearance of your breasts and abdomen. Many women develop dark or blue lines on their breasts and dark lines down the center of their stomachs. If you have these markings, you may test for early pregnancy and then act accordingly if the test comes back positive.

Reporter Food: Chicken Bacon Avocado Sandwich from Davisburg Bread
Reporter Food: Chicken Bacon Avocado Sandwich from Davisburg Bread
(Crystal A. Proxmire, Dec. 9, 2017)
Holly, MI – We're very excited to have added Davisburg Bread as an advertiser at Oakland County Times. They opened earlier this year in Downtown Holly at 204 S. Saginaw and they've been delighting the community with high-quality creative sandwich options as well as delicious baked goods.
I met with Holly Township Supervisor George Kullis there recently to talk about updates to the Hawley Barn project.
Supervisor Kullis had the Cranberry Turkey sandwich which had cranberry chutney, spinach, roasted turkey breast, and chive cream cheese.
And I went for the Chicken Bacon Avocado which was so very wonderful. The braised chicken was prepared well, along with thick cut bacon and garlic lime avocado bread, tomato and shaved red onion.
It was a great lunch and I learned a lot about the Hawley Barn, a project that is evolving into the Holly Heritage Farmstead. Read more about that here.
There are many great sandwich choices, all make with fresh-baked bread. And if you have a sweet tooth there are scones and other pastries. Whether you're looking for a yummy meal in a comfy atmosphere, or a fresh baked loaf of bread with high quality ingredients, Davisburg Bread is a wonderful Downtown Holly option.

Kouz to the big leagues!
Kouz has now been called up to the Rockies!!! Yay!!!! I'm really, really happy for my boy. It's good to see that he's going to finally get back in the majors. And guess what? We're playing the Rockies next weekend at home. Oooohhh…an idea comes to mind. I need to go!
ANYWAY, the Padres won last night! It was so great. Gotta love beating the Giants. We won 7-5. The Giants tied the game 5-5 in the bottom of the eighth, but thankfully, we got two runs in the top of the ninth, and Heath Bell got the save.
Speaking of which. Heath Bell got placed on waivers yesterday, and the Giants claimed him today. I don't think he'll actually go over to them, but it would be kind of funny. No, not really. I love having Heath here. It would be really sad if he went away.
Tim Stauffer against Tim Lincecum tonight.
Stifled by Lincecum
Yesterday's game did not go well, and it was for one reason and one reason only: Tim Lincecum.
That guy is so weird, but man, he's effective. He completely held us down. He threw seven innings, only allowing one run on three hits with 13 strikeouts. We had no chance.
Coincidentally, the person we did get to was closer Brian Wilson in the bottom of the ninth. I guess he gets an excuse because he literally just got off the disabled list, but still.
With one out, Alberto Gonzalez singled and Orlando Hudson walked. Brad Hawpe finally got his first hit as a Padre with a RBI single. After a pitching change, Chase Headley doubled in Hudson and Hawpe. That was our rally. We kind of ended the game with the bases loaded, which stinks. It was good that we did rally a little, but it's always such a letdown when you could have done more. Oh well.
So, we lost to the Giants 8-4. It was okay because it was only a two-game series, so we got the split. Let's just hope that we never have to face Lincecum again this season.
Nick Hundley hit a huge home run against Lincecum. That guy has been soooo hot. He didn't get hits in his other two at-bats, though, bringing down his average to .500. Ha. In comparison, the rest of yesterday's starting lineup was batting under .200 except for Chase Headley who brought his average up in the game when he went 2-for-4.
Tim Stauffer didn't do so great. He went only 4.2 innings, allowing four runs on eight hits. Then each and every one of the next five relievers except Chad Qualls allowed at least one run. Sigh.
Today the MLBlogs.com Latest Leaders for the month of March came out. This blog is #5!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you all so much. This is my fifth season of being a Padres fan, and the start of my third season of blogging here at MLBlogs.com. Wow, it's crazy how fast time goes by! Looking forward to an excellent season of Padres baseball 🙂
Well, now we get to face the Dodgers for three games this weekend. That's going to be super fun. Hopefully we can get at least two out of three.
I hate the offseason.
It's been so sad without Padres baseball. I couldn't even watch the playoffs with more than a passing interest because the Padres weren't in it. I am extremely mad that the Giants won the World Series!!!!! It is just so wrong. When you think about the fact that the Padres were in first place like 97% of the season, and the Giants just came out of nowhere and snatched the NL West from us right at the last second…oh my goodness. It just drives me nuts. Even worse that the Giants won the whole thing. Man, that was our spot. We were the ones who should have been there. Oh man it is so frustrating and heartbreaking.
But anyways, things have been pretty sad around here after the World Series ended. Chris Young, after five years with the Padres, has become a free agent and the Padres aren't showing too much interest in getting him back. I love Chris so much!
Even though he's been of little use to us in the past few years, I still feel like he's one of the all-time Padres. He's been here so super long, and when he was good, he really did have a big impact on our club. Thank you so much for all the great times, Chris, and no matter where you go, I hope you'll be able to play the game you love.
Also, Yorvit Torrealba had become a free agent, and will not come back because he wants a multi-year contract and the Padres are not going to give him that. I can't help but think that this is seriously going to hurt us next year. Yorvit was such an essential part of our success this year. I honestly don't think we would have gotten close as we had without him.
Plus, our catching situation has not been that great at all. Sure, we've got Nick Hundley, but he's been up here for a few years, and not much to show for it. I don't trust him as an everyday catcher, mostly because of his offense. I know that catchers aren't supposed to be that great offensively, but still. Nick is really going to have to step it up.
Hopefully the Padres will be able to pick up a good catcher for the season though. But I don't know about you, but I'm getting kind of tired of the whole pick-up-a-veteran-catcher-for-one-year thing. I think it's about time we find a guy who can be a long-time catcher for us. I think the pitchers deserve to have a guy will be consistently there from year to year instead of having to get to know a new guy every single season.
Jon Garland has also filed for free agency. I believe that Jerry Hairston Jr., too has become a free agent, but he's very interested in returning to the Padres.
I have a feeling that there's going to be a lot of change to this Padre team over the offseason. Hopefully it won't be too bad, but still.
We also picked up Adrian Gonzalez' option for 2011, but Jed Hoyer said that he will most likely become a free agent after 2011. Sigh.
Well, one super fun thing that I've done this offseason was attending "Unashamed: The Movement" in Long Beach. It's a group of Christian rappers who are touring the United States right now, including Lecrae, Trip Lee, Tedashii, and Sho Baraka. It was an amazingly fun concert for me because Lecrae is one of my all-time favorite artists ever. (yes, I know that's redundant) Seriously, if they come to your town, go see them. It is an incredible concert and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Check out the details here: http://www.reachrecords.com/unashamed/
I can't wait for Padres baseball to start.
Remember Your Fanhood!!
Man, it's tough not being in the playoffs. I don't like it when I don't have any motivation to follow the postseason except to see that the Giants get knocked out of there.
READ THIS: http://rjsfro.com/2010-articles/october/fandomchangeplayoffs.html Must-read postseason article for all Padres fans. Whatever you do, don't cheer for the Giants. Please. That's just wrong.
We are PADRES fans. That means that we cheer for our team NO MATTER WHAT, even if they're not even playing anymore. After all the believing and cheering during the season, you cannot, and I repeat, CANNOT, turn around and cheer for the team that detroyed your amazing season. Don't think that the Padres aren't watching. They've got the Santa thing going with the nautghty and nice list, except it's more like the faithful and the unfaithful list. Just because the Padres are done playing doesn't mean that your obligations as a fan are over. Fanhood doesn't have a contract, but if it did, I'm sure there would be a clause obligating you to cheer for your team constantly. You can't get out of the contract.
But fanhood shouldn't have to be an obligation. It shouldn't be something that you HAVE to do. If you really love your team, you're just not going to cheer for the Giants because you hate them for what they did to us. It just comes naturally out of your love and heartbreak for your team.
Fanhood is a very special thing. And it's unique for each fan. Maybe you feel okay cheering for the Giants. I don't know how you could rationalize that, but maybe you can and you're okay with that. But for a lot of us, we just can't do that. We can't cheer for the Giants. They were pests all season and the last straw was shoving us out of our rightful spot in first place. It would be going against everything I fought for as a fan to cheer for the Giants now. I won't do it.
I can't wait for my Padres to get into the playoffs. I can't wait for the start of next season!! I miss Padres baseball soo much 😦 It's so sad not to have it around.
Padres Sweep!
Okay, so it wasn't that surprising, but it was a lot of fun to get all three games. Especially right before this Giants series, but more on that later.
I got to attend the game yesterday, which was a blast. That was my third game of the year. It was Throwback Thursday, which meant that both the Padres and the Pirates wore their 1978 uniforms. There was a lot of yellow, brown, and stripes. The Padres' uniforms aren't my favorite, but the Pirates' cracked me up. We decided that they looked like a cross between train conductors and prisoners.
The game itself went really well. Jon Garland started, and he was very good. He didn't allow a hit through the first few innings, but he did allow a few walks and a hit batter early. I looked at the scoreboard and thought, okay, Jon hadn't given up a hit yet, but he already had gotten himself into some potentially dangerous situations!!
He ended up going six innings, only allowing one hit with four walks and five strikeouts. Amazing performance.
We didn't score until the bottom of the third. Jon Garland led off the inning with a single. Jerry Hairston sac-bunted him over the second. Then Miguel Tejada doubled him in.
Really, that was all the offense we needed. But in the sixth, Ryan Ludwick gave us a little more.
It was really interesting because Adrian started off the inning with a seemingly routine groundout to short. He hit it, the shortstop picked it up and threw as Adrian slugged down the line. As the ball hit the first baseman's glove, Adrian was definitely out…but then the ball bounced out of the first baseman's glove! It was totally unexpected! They gave the error to the shortstop though instead of the first baseman, which I thought was interesting.
Crucial error for the Pirates, though. After taking two balls, Ryan Ludwick hit a two-run homer out into the Padres bullpen! It was soo sweet!!
The relief pitching was amazing!! Luke Gregerson came in after Garland left and got two batters on six pitches. Then he allowed a single, but Joe Thacher came in to get the lefty. Two pitches and his job was done. I'm sooo happy that Thatcher has really turned into such a solid pitcher. I remember the really bad days in 2008 when he literally couldn't pitch. It's so nice to know that he's much, much better than that pitcher he was.
Then Heath Bell came into the game in the top of the ninth. But it was super lame because they didn't even do his big entrance. No "300" clips. No "Blow Me Away." Just some random song from the '70s. It was pathetic!!
But thankfully he was on his game. It took him four batters, but he got his 34th save of the year. And we won 3-0!! 🙂
So these Throwback Thursdays are new this year and I have to say that I was not very impressed. I'd say that it hindered my ballpark experience more than added to it. First of all, I think it's cool that they had the old jerseys and the organ player, but I wish they hadn't cut out almost everything else. For example, all they played was this awful '70s music when the organ wasn't playing. They didn't play any of the player's walk-up music, and like I said, they totally cut out Heath's entrance.
I mean, what if Trevor Hoffman had still been here and there was this person who could only come to this game and had never ever seen Trevor Time and was super excited going into the top of the ninth because they were going to see Trevor Time? You can't just cut out Trevor Time.
Second of all, the in-game host wasn't even there the entire time, which meant that the entertainment between innings was pathetic! Well, I guess it wasn't just his fault. They did have all the typical stuff like dot races and guess the attendance and best seat in the house and hat shuffle, but it was a lot more boring.
The organ player was great. I'm not saying anything against his talent or ability. Maybe it was just me, but I really missed all the music that they usually have. Again, I love hearing "Blow Me Away" when Heath comes in. I love hearing the player's walk-up music. I don't like hearing all this nasty '70s stuff.
Now, personally, I don't like oldies stuff, so maybe that's why I didn't enjoy the whole retro thing as much. Like I said, it's cool to have the jerseys for a retro day, but I don't see why they have to cut out everything else.
The thing that bugged me the most was that I barely got hyped up at all. There were zero scoreboard prompts to get loud. There were barely any clapping thingys. Even with the minimal excitment on the field, I should have been screaming and getting hyper a lot more than I did. When I go to the ballpark, I go watch my boys and get excited! I love screaming and clapping for my boys. I love getting excited. But the only times I got more-than-normally-excited was the home run and when Heath closed the game.
Here's how bad it was: when Heath got two outs, they didn't even put up the "ON YOUR FEET" sign!!!!! How wrong is that?!?!?!?!? Man it bugged me sooo much.
So if I had to make a suggestion on how to make Throwback Thursdays better, I would say that there needs to be more interaction. I was extremely mellow the whole game, and you do not want that. You want your fans to be totally alert and into the game. Give us more scoreboard promts. If they have to be, they can be retro promts, but just get us into the game more.
Needless to say, I'm really, really looking forward to the next game I'm going to do, which will hopefully be normal. A Friday night game against the Phillies.
But we've got three big games this weekend against the Giants. I'm really thankful that the players themselves are seeing this like any other series, but that doesn't mean that the fans can't hype it up. I don't think it's going to be season-determining, but I think it would be great to gain a few games on the Giants.
I know that the boys will play their hardest and hopefully will get the better part of the series. After all, we have beaten the Giants seven out of eight times this season. I like our chances.
P.S. You know what I think is really funny? All the headlines today are about how great our new additions are (Miggy and Luddy), and though they both contributed in a big way, they also each grounded into an inning-killing double play. Nice.
That's More Like It!
You know those series last week when we didn't do too well? I think those are behind us. Ryan Ludwick has finally found his bat.
Last week was a little scary because our two big additions, Ludwick and Miguel Tejada, were seemingly hindering instead of helping. We lost four games last week, which we just don't do. So you can understand my worry, but thankfully, things are looking up again.
Wade LeBlanc threw an absolutely amazing game last night. He only went 5.2 innings, but he only allowed five hits, one run, while striking out eight. Whoo hoo! The one thing that I find absolutely incredible is his hitting this year! He had another hit and RBI last night, which brings his average up to .324. He has 12 hits on the year.
Ludwick was the star of this game, though. He hit his first Padre home run in the bottom of the second, which gave us a 1-0 lead. LeBlanc singled in our second run later in the inning.
Then, in the bottom of the seventh, Ryan hit his second home run in the bottom of the seventh. I'm sooo happy that he's getting his bat going. We need this guy to contribute if we want to keep our first place lead and keep pushing towards the playoffs.
The bullpen was great once again. The combination of Luke Gregerson, Mike Adams, and Heath Bell is back and strong as ever. Heath got his 32nd save of the year.
Great, great game. You have no idea how relieved I was to get the win last night. It's always a good thing to start off a series with a win, especially at home.
The best news of all is that we have a little more breathing room on our first-place lead…for now. The Giants are now 2.5 games behind, which is a lot better than the 1 that they were last week.
By the way, I didn't really want to get into this, but what Jonathan Sanchez said the other day REALLY ticked me off. I'm mostly trying to not let it go to my head, because that's what he wants us to do. But this series against the Giants is going to be huge. We're going into their park for three games. But look at is this way: the Giants have been trailing us for a long time. They've come within one game of tying us for first place, but they've never been able to quite make it. It's going to be a very tough series, but I think the Padres are going to come out on top.
Also, I think that's really bad sportsmanship of Sanchez. I mean, he had just lost a game, and I can't blame him for being angry about it. But you don't go boasting about the next team you're going to beat. Not cool. Not cool at all.
The Latest Leaders list for July just came out, and I'm #10!! This is really exciting for me 🙂 Thank you guys sooo much for reading consistently and supporting my blog. It means so much to me! Thank you thank you thank you!!
Hopefully we can get the win tonight and then another one tomorrow when I'm at the game. I'm super excited!!!! It's going to be soo much fun.
Kevin Correia vs. James McDonald tonight. Let's do this.
It's time to believe.
We won an absolutely great game last night! I was very relieved that we didn't continue that atrocious thing they were doing over the weekend (*cough losing cough*). Not only did we win the game, but we got a little more breathing room in our NL West lead!
Clayton Richard threw seven solid innings: three hits, one run, three walks, five strikeouts. Great, great outing.
Adrian Gonzalez hit his eighth homer of the season. Chase Headley singled in a run. And guess what Kyle Blanks did for us? He got hit-by-pitch with the bases loaded. Beautiful, Blanksie. Hey, if he can't do anything with the bat, might as well do whatever he can.
Chase and David Eckstein had two hits each on the night. Mike Adams and Heath Bell had good outings, but they both had to work themselves out of some jams that they got themselves into in the first place.
There were a lot of big things about this game, but another one of them was that we have now won seven games against the Giants this season…out of seven games. YES! That's what I call complete domination!! Let's make it eight tonight.
Speaking of tonight, Mat Latos is pitching. AHHHHH!! This guy is seriously becoming one of my favorites. He's young, he's cute, not to mention that he's an AMAZING pitcher! Last week's outing was sooo cool, I can't wait to see what's he's going to do for an encore. It's going to be goood.
The Latest Leaders list for the month of April just came out, and this blog is #11!! I want to thank all of you guys sooo much for reading consistently. I absolutely love doing this, and it's so cool to know that other people enjoy reading. THANK YOU!!

Residual Oil Zone Interview #1 With Steve Melzer
Residual Oil Zone Interview #2 With Vello Kuuskraa
Residual Oil Zone Interview #3 With David Mohrbacher
Residual Oil Zone Interview #4 with Steve Melzer
The APTA principals are involved in training sessions for CO2 EOR many times during the course of a year. Some of these are as long as a week while others are presentations at various conferences. Their expertise in the science and engineering aspects of the residual oil zones (ROZs) both in the Permian Basin and elsewhere are often requested and therefore included in the training.
As to the original referencing document, a U.S. Department of Energy report (http://www.melzerconsulting.com/pdf/ROZ_Melzer_Document_51.pdf) , Steve Melzer documented the three types of ROZs we have found as we study reservoirs throughout the world. The following animations provide the introduction to the origins or these ROZ types
Type 1 ROZ (basinwide tilt) Click lower right hand corner to view full screen
Type 2 ROZ (seal breach)
Type 3 (laterally flushed) ROZ
The type 3 ROZ is particularly important at this time since it is the most common type and the ones currently being commercially exploited (all within the San Andres formation in the Permian Basin). However, we note too that the other are also common, but have not advanced to the exploitation stage as yet.

This week's nature table has a range of different things today. Some winter flowering cherry, a teasel, a Roman snail shell and a fossil.
Did you know? Fuller's teasel (a bit different than the one pictured above) was used years ago in textile mills to raise the nap of fabrics such as wool. We find a lot of Roman snail shells here in the Cotswolds but they aren't found all over the country, unlike garden snails that were brought over by the Roman's at the same time!

I rarely buy any beauty products and I'm incredibly brand loyal having spent years finding ones that suit my skin! There are a few staples in my make up bag such as Dr. Hauschka's Rose Light Day Cream, it's an expensive moisturiser at £29 for 30ml but it's the only product I've ever found that keeps my skin from turning into a red blotchy mess each winter and I justify the cost in the saving of the hundreds of lotions and potions that I'd buy that would never work! I also adore REN products, since having a treatment at the Montpellier Chapter Spa in Cheltenham, they always have offers and a loyalty programme and the products last forever, my favourite is the glycolactic radience renewal mask which is a bit of a mouthful to pronounce but the effects are awesome!
This week the lovely folks at Green People have sent me through some skin care essentials for mums on the run which I am super excited about. Green People are sensitive skin specialists and make natural and organic beauty products for the whole family. The products I'm trying out are their volumising mascara £14.75, lip primer £13.00 and tinted DD moisteriser £36.
I would never buy a lip primer but this one has instantly impressed me, moisturising my dry weather-chapped lips for hours, it is clear but makes the lips look fuller when applied and the candelilla, carnauba and baobab makes it smell divine! I am never without a mascara and if I don't wear eye make up all I ever get is comments from people asking if I look alright! So am a big fan of black eyeliner and mascara even if it isn't the most fashionable look of the moment, it makes me feel better and this one certainly does that. With a stubby brush it's really easy to get good coverage and control with the wand so I am delighted and would certainly buy again as it is heaps better than my current mascara.
I am also a huge tinted moisteriser fan preferring a more natural look than using a foundation and keeping my dry skin moisterised. The one I currently use just comes in one colour but Green People have given me three colour samples to choose from to find just the right match for my freckly skin! I do have plenty of imperfections so I'll be making sure that it gives me enough cover for the odd chocolate-induced pimple too. I love the fact that you can order the testers online as I find it an expensive mistake to get wrong.
Thank you Green People for sending me such fab samples to review, I'll let you know how I get on!
It's the simple things that get me through the week. This week I've had so much work on I've been working past midnight every night, which I find hard as I get so tired and snippy the day after. But it's OK as tomorrow's Friday and Friday's are for fun, for playing with my youngest, for hoovering the house and for buying sweets from the shop after school. It's a day to slow down and prepare for the weekend, to wash school uniforms and restock the kitchen cupboards!

I think the birds are quite confused with this mild weather as they have started their dawn chorus already this year! On our tree in the garden there have been flocks of long tailed tits passing through in groups and goldfinches on the ground rooting through the leaves. We have been trying to identify the egg and nest we found a few weeks ago ~ but it's proving quite tricky. It's a great time of year to clean out old bird boxes and make new ones ready for the nesting season which might be earlier this year if it continues to be so warm.
It was the village wassail last night, so with ivy crowns, owl face masks and stick antlers we made our way rather noisily banging pots and pans to the orchard to the bless the trees and warn away evil spirits. Afterwards we had cider and listened to shanties in the town hall to warm up again. I would love to own an orchard one day or have a garden big enough to plant lots of fruit trees, it's a real dream of mine!

We are rather delighted that loads of people are joining in with our passion and taking part in #thenaturetable on their own blogs, twitter and Instagram by sharing pictures of their nature tables.
This week we have explored a local orchard as it's the week of our village wassail which traditionally took place on old twelfth night (a little later in January than the date on which we mark twelfth night nowadays).
In the orchard the hedgerow had old mans' beard or wild clematis woven through it that catches the low winter light, there were also rosehips not yet eaten by the birds. An old medlar tree still stands proud, its fruit less fashionable nowadays and sadly not picked for jams and jellies, instead left on the branches and scattered under the tree. It has a lovely flavour but needs to be bletted before use and picked after the first frost, it's also known as the 'cat's arse' fruit as that's what it resembles!
Finally a sprig of mistletoe, a lover of old orchard trees on which it is a parasite, it is common around here in the Cotswolds' but scarce in other parts of the country. Birds love it and eat the plump berries spreading the plant around in their droppings which contain its seed.
In Gloucestershire traditional orchards have declined by 67%* which is a significant loss for the species that live in them things like mistletoe, stag beetles and woodpeckers, and this week at our wassail we'll be walking to the orchard to bless the trees by banging saucepan lids and blowing horns to scare off evil spirits. We'll then hang toast on the branches of the biggest tree (the King tree) for the robin, the guardian of the orchard as this is where the tradition of toasting ones health comes from!
Finally we'll sprinkle the tree with cider and pass around the wassail cup to drink and toast to the health of the orchard and recite local wassail rhymes. Years ago villagers would blacken their faces too so that the village squire wouldn't recognise them as it was quite a bawdy affair, drinking and firing guns into the air. Nowadays it's lovely to both take part in a tradition but appreciate too the beauty of the orchard and the wildlife found in them.

This morning as I lay in a darkened room holding two smooth basalt stones whilst enjoying a hot stone massage, all I could think about was a book I'd read which told the story of someone in years gone by taking a small piece of coal from the fire, wrapping it in a handkerchief and tucking it into a coat pocket to keep warm!
There was something quite soothing about holding a hot stone and after a few days of wintery aches and pains to be cocooned in the subterranean spa at Montpellier Chapter Spa and receive the new hot stone treatment was just what I needed as it tried to snow outside.
At first to be massaged by stones felt a little peculiar, different but in a good way. Sophie, the therapist seamlessly swapped the stones using large ones to work larger areas of the body down to tiny ones that she placed between my toes to encourage energy flow. The warmth and pressure seemed to permeate my poor neglected body and relaxed my knots and muscles more effectively than any other massage I've experienced before. She methodically worked around my back, neck, shoulders, arms, legs, feet, décolleté and stomach using REN products for a luxurious 90 minutes leaving me deeply relaxed and rejuvenated.
The spa is situated in the Montpellier Chapter Hotel in the heart of regency Cheltenham and is keeping alive the spa town's tradition of health and well being. In 1716, mineral rich waters were discovered in Cheltenham and people would travel from far and wide to 'take the waters' in the pump room. A town full of tree-lined regency splendor soon grew around this tourism trade, with squares of grand terraces built around beautiful gardens all surrounded by green Cotswold Hills.
The hotel has a contemporary interior, with large comfortable lounges, a lovely old conservatory, huge art canvases on the walls and a cool restaurant with a delicious new British menu, I can understand why this is a really popular hotel. Luckily I am local and can pop-in for coffee, an evening meal or a spa treatment whenever I fancy and now having been issued with a loyalty card I certainly will reward myself with some 'me time' a little more often.
*I was invited to try out the new hot stone treatment by Montpellier Chapter Spa, for more information about this and any other REN treatment please visit www.themontpellierchapterhotel.com

Here's our first wild discoveries for our new nature table project, snowdrops flowering already in the garden and lichen pom poms on deadwood branches in the woodpile. We haven't ventured far from home this week due to the miserable weather so these bits are from the garden.
The snowdrops are starting to flower throughout the village, a lot earlier than usual. I love these simple beautiful flowers often the first of the year, this year the mild winter is tricking many blooms out early and we even have a rose in flower in the front garden!
Thank you all so much for your positive response to the nature table project and for taking part in Instagram and your own blogs. I'm overwhelmed that people feel as passionate as I do about bringing back the nature table, none more so than my online friend Emma Mitchell of Silver Pebble designs, whose Instagram flat lays of her nature finds are so beautiful and inspirational go take a look.
Here's to a fun year ahead discovering sharing and learning about nature and encouraging people to create their own nature tables, especially in schools and offices. Let's bring back the nature table!

We visited new cafe/art bar in Stroud today called Meme. It's rather cool with an amazing menu, Ercol furniture and lush food. I'm rather taken with the chai lattes, chalk writing in the window, and I do love a Moomin! In a few weeks time Meme is hosting a Scandi night with projected images and music, colouring competition, woolly jumpers and a smörgasbord of delicious food and drink. If you're visiting Stroud it's worth stopping for lunch here and keep an eye on their facebook page for news of events.

Our new year's resolution is simple, to make our lives a little bit wilder. So this year we're going to make an effort as a family to get out more and learn about the nature around us, picking up basic ID skills as we go.
If you've visited this blog before you'll know all about my passion for connecting children with nature and my concern about the impact of nature deficit disorder, you can read my 2008 thoughts here and here.
I have worked for The Wildlife Trusts for 15 years but to be honest I didn't know much about wildlife before I started working there, in fact I don't even think I owned a pair of wellies! Most of my passion has come from being surrounded by colleagues that are quite simply nerds about nature, bird watchers, badger vaccinators and otter poo sniffers (don't ask!) and by working for a conservation charity I have the access to some of the most wonderful wildlife and places to visit.
I am blessed to be able to share this with my children, but even with this knowledge we do find it hard to get out as a family with the same time pressures that all others families have; after school clubs, homework, work commitments, sports clubs and weekend matches and screen time (the boys even have online homework!)
Last year the Wildlife Trusts launched their Every Child Wild campaign to engage children with nature, one of the stats that stood out for me was that less than 24% of children surveyed had an indoor nature display area like a nature table. So that was it, the seed was planted and we're going to bring back the nature table! We'll display the bits and bobs we find on our weekly wild adventures and most importantly learn about what we find*, like a proper old fashioned school nature table.
We'll try and post regularly on here, I'm hoping the boys will contribute their thoughts here too and I'll also post over on Instagram using the hashtag #thenaturetable you are most welcome to join in too, the more the merrier. I am hoping we'll increase our knowledge, observe the seasons changing and get to spend quality time together.
P.s. If you live in Gloucestershire there's an offer on membership of the Wildlife Trust this January, just use the word GIFT in the offer code to take advantage of an amazing 50% off your membership which starts from just £1.25/month! The family membership is rather fab as the children get their own Wildlife Watch mailings four times a year too.

Last year at our village wassail a lovely Frenchman who lives in the village baked a load of these amazing delicious tarts called galette des rois. Inside each of the tarts was a little ceramic bead and whoever found a bead in their slice is then king or queen for the day and gets to wear a crown!
The tarts are traditionally baked once-a-year in France on the epiphany (6th January) to celebrate the three kings arrival at Bethlehem to meet the new baby Jesus and its name means 'tart of the king'. It's super easy to make with ready-made puff pastry and a frangipani filling in the middle, I followed Raymond Blanc's recipe.
It's a really charming custom whether based on ancient tradition or as Raymond Blanc OBE says "probably organized by an opportunistic pâtissier who saw the opportunity of a huge market!" It is certainly a tradition that we're borrowing in this house as they are delicious, and who doesn't want to be a king for the day?

Nationals' season might not be completely lost after scoring 14 unanswered runs in absurd comeback
If there's a low point to the Washington Nationals' season, falling behind 9-0 to the Marlins while on a five-game losing streak during a miserable stretch might have been it. And yet, what followed very well might go down as the season's peak.
It took the Nationals a while to really look like they were digging back. First, Trea Turner hit a solo homer in the fourth inning. Then Turner and Juan Soto drove a four-run rally in the fifth to make it 9-5. Daniel Murphy's sacrifice fly added another run in the sixth, then the team continued its rally until Turner (again) came up with the bases loaded.
Turner hit his first career grand slam and enthusiastically rounded the bases, celebrating the team's most improbable lead of the season. The Nationals eventually won the game 14-12, and can exhale, for now.
The numbers behind the Nationals' comeback
Let's list off some of the more incredible stats of the Nationals' comeback:
At one point, the Nationals had a 1.2 percent win expectancy according to Fangraphs.
Eight of the Nats' 14 earned runs were knocked in by Turner, who was slugging .406 entering Thursday. He also joined rare company thanks to his spot in the batting order.
Before Turner's grand slam, the Nationals' last nine homers had been solo shots, going all the way back to June 29.
Soto, the Nats' No. 2 hitter, finished second on the team in RBIs with three despite being 19 years old.
Teams that were down by more than nine runs had gone 0-103 entering Thursday, according to ESPN Stats & Info.
The Nationals offense had scored just 12 runs total in its last five games.
Most improbable of all, the game lasted a tidy 3 hours and 15 minutes despite both teams combining for 26 runs.
Of course, this all comes with the significant caveat that the Nationals were playing the Marlins, a team that ranks fifth-worst in MLB in bullpen ERA and seems fairly uninterested in winning this year.
Nationals entered comeback win under dire circumstances
It's safe to say the Nationals' season has not been going according to plan so far. The preseason favorites to three-peat in the NL East entered Thursday a game below .500 and seven games back in the standings. They were one of the worst teams in baseball during the month of June and had begun July with four straight losses.
It got to the point that the team held a players-only meeting after getting swept by the Red Sox at home on Wednesday, in which ace Max Scherzer was reportedly vocal in what the team needs to do. One game is an entirely too small sample to judge, but Thursday was at least an encouraging sign.

So over 2015, here is how you have kept me busy, and supported me with the year's...
Many of you have bought my pins for your weddings, and they've been worn by grooms, ushers and best men as far away as Helsinki and San Francisco!
It's flattering when people like my work, but jaw dropping when people want it as part of their big day, and choose my makes for something to keep and cherish after the wedding. One unusual good idea has gone well beyond my expectations!
Making and mental health. My mumsy passed away early 2015, and it was only later I appreciated how much being creative helped (and is still helping) me get through this loss.
As I shared with you her studio, making art from her unfinished work and how she inspired me, you shared your support and your own stories with me. Being crafty helped me touch her again, while stepping forwards, and it's reassuring to know some of you have used arts the same way.
...Big Lesson
Embrace your craft community! I've made more effort to reach out to those of you who also make, design and craft, and wow! The Nottingham etsy team particularly have been a powerhouse of ideas, support, advice and more.
If you can't find a group of the right folks, with the right focus, go and flipping make one. Be cheeky and ask for a cuppa and cake with some folks you are inspired by, to see what you can learn from each other. I need to make more face to face time for the creative folks near me in 2016!

UNIQUE Maple Floss looks like cotton candy but it's not. It's pure organic maple sugar spun into delicious floss, the colour of champagne. Made from a single ingredient, pure maple sugar.
Made from 100% pure certified organic maple syrup. Our maple sugar contains no other ingredients, artificial flavour or preservative.
Laboratory studies have shown that the maple compounds act as anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory agents. Research has shown that some maple compounds may inhibit enzymes and thus contribute to the management of type 2 diabetes.
Five of these compounds are identified for the first time in nature and are therefore unique to maple syrup. One of them was named Quebecol in honour of Quebec. It forms during the boiling process which transforms maple water into the syrup.
A daily intake of 50 ml of maple syrup fills 3% of the recommended intake of calcium, potassium and iron. The same quantity fills 2% of the magnesium requirements, as well as a supply of manganese and zinc, all for 177 calories.
1 tablespoon of maple syrup contains about:
of the recommended daily value
