WHILE the powerbrokers of Whitehall still adopt a sanguine attitude towards the independence referendum - No 10 made clear, despite the narrowing polls, the strategy remains steady as she goes - unease is beginning to stalk the corridors of Westminster.

More and more politicians, particularly those within Labour, are privately voicing concerns that not enough is being done to win hearts and minds; the religion of independence has to be matched - and bettered - by the religion of the Union. And Labour, they insist, have to lead the UK charge.

Slowly the party seems to be waking up to the existential threat standing, elephant-like, on its doorstep: that if the Nationalists win on September 18, Labour's future will be altered dramatically.

A Yes vote would shake the political kaleidoscope north and south of the Border.

In Scotland, as the SNP hit a political high, the Labour leadership, having sided with the Tories and the LibDems, would be scrambling around looking for how to deal with the new reality.

In England, a splintered Labour force would, certainly post-2016, be put at an electoral disadvantage against the Conservatives, losing a number of talented Scottish politicians, from whose ranks it has in the past drawn many of its leading lights.

But, despite all the efforts of the Lib-Con alliance, it is Labour on the ground in Scotland that will save the Union, if it is to be saved.

As rumblings of disquiet about the leadership of the No campaign by ex-Chancellor Alistair Darling resurface in the wake of the crumbling anti-independence lead, who should make an appearance but his old Downing Street mucker Gordon Brown.

For many Scots, the former PM is still a mighty political figure, who has at last become engaged, enunciating a more positive message about the 300-year-old Union.

Not only that, but Ed Miliband will convene his Shadow Cabinet in Glasgow on Friday to make clear to Scottish voters that the core Labour values of creating social justice, fighting poverty and spreading prosperity can best be achieved, for Scots, within the bigger resourced UK than within a go-it-alone Scotland. Positivity, positivity, positivity.

As with most things in life timing is everything and the key to winning the referendum will be peaking at the right moment.

Rather than adopt the attitude, which behind closed doors seems to exist in Whitehall, that the referendum is already won, the pro-UK camp must, if it is indeed to win, assume it could lose the battle for Britain, and up its game.

And that means deploying every single tool at its disposal with Labour in Scotland at the cutting edge.

GRANT Bradburn, the Scotland coach, wants his fast bowlers to prove they are also fast learners in today's rearranged New Zealand A match.

Bradburn will give Ali Evans and Iain Wardlaw a vote of confidence in the wake of last Friday's bruising 199-run defeat. The pair were bashed to all corners of Cambusdoon as Grant Elliott and BJ Watling scored centuries, but both will get the chance for revenge in a match switched from the Ayr venue to The Grange, Edinburgh, after Sunday's washout.

"The guys actually bowled pretty well at the start, and it was only in the last ten overs that we lost our discipline a bit and let it get away from us," said Bradburn. "Now they have a fantastic chance to show they are fast learners. We maybe need to take a bit more time in the last overs to think about our plans and to set fields for those plans. We are up against a really strong New Zealand side and I think Friday's game was a rude awakening as to where we need to be.

"But we welcome the chance to take them on again and show that we have learned a few lessons."

Calum MacLeod returns to captain the side in place of Matt Machan, who is back at Sussex. MacLeod will attempt to continue where he left off in his last Scotland match when he scored 145 against the Netherlands.

Somerset's Josh Davey is also likely to return but Preston Mommsen is still out with a broken finger.

5 Cool Jobs You’ve Never Heard Of

Posted -

Her Campus dug up the seven of the coolest jobs you’ve never heard of, including awesome career choices from Image Consultant to Menu Engineer. Naturally, there are copious fun employment opportunities that deserve to be added to this list, and Her Campus scrounged around for the most fantastic ones out there.

Here are five alternative career paths that you would have drooled over as a child with a wild imagination—basically, here are the dream jobs you’ve wanted since kindergarten, but had no idea existed!
Chocolate Taster
What it is: The job’s basic requirements are pretty much what you’d expect: eating (I mean, tasting) tons of chocolate. However, you aren’t simply sitting around stuffing your face with truffles and checking “Delicious” or “Not Delicious” on a pad of paper. You’re expected to have a hefty memory for the tastes of all kinds of things that can be added to chocolate—curry, saffron, tomato, just to name a few you wouldn’t think of—and should be able to develop new flavors as well. You do get to travel on the company’s dime to source ingredients, though, which is definitely a plus!
How to get there: If Melissa Thompson’s interview with Green and Black’s chocolate company is any indication, cracking into the chocolate business isn’t as sweet and simple as it may sound! Aim for a major in nutrition or food science, but know that your degree isn’t what will get you the job. You need to have a sincere passion for chocolate, an intense ability to identify different flavors, and tons of creativity so that you can help formulate new products. Gain experience from interning at a company like Hershey’s, Dove, or Godiva by searching for positions on their websites labeled “Quality Assurance” or “Product Development” (the actual titles for a chocolate taster!).
Nail Polish Namer
What it is: It’s common knowledge that one of the top factors in choosing a color for your mani-pedi at the nail salon is the name of the nail polish. You know you’ve sat staring at essentially identical shades of red, but elected to pick the one in your left hand because it was called “Vampire Diaries” instead of “Crimson.” Companies like Essie and OPI are notorious for having hilariously punny names for their polish colors. You could become the person who names those shades and influences the polish choice some girl at a nail salon near you!
How to get there: Work toward a degree in marketing, perhaps with a minor in creative writing or communications. Essie Weingarten (yes, the founder of Essie!) said in an interview with Fashionista, “A name has to be witty and fun. It has to have a personality, and it has to resonate with what I know women want.” She went on to say, “Sometimes it’s an irreverent play on words, a funny story, or a theme. Ultimately, the names have to be memorable.” If you think you have the fresh ideas and endless valves of creativity that could make you a marketing whiz, this could be the job for you! Since Essie is a subsidiary of L’Oreal, your first step toward naming nail polishes would be to apply for one of the L’Oreal Summer Marketing Internships listed on their site. Be sure to emphasize your interest in brand management in your application!
Greeting Card Creator
What it is: There’s literally a Hallmark card for every occasion. Whether you’ve got a gift for capturing the essence of an emotional event like a marriage or a birth, or you have the propensity to create knee-slapping jokes for children’s birthday cards, there’s a niche for you within this job market. Even if you’re not interested in writing the messages, there’s always a market for creating or photographing the images for the front of these cards.
How to get there: A creative writing major would be the perfect precedent for the writers, and a graphic design or photography focus would be great for the artists. However a degree is not always necessary. What’s important is that you compile a portfolio. For those interested in writing the messages, this means getting your thoughts on paper. Offer pages of your best ideas, and consider creating a web portfolio as well. For those interested in becoming greeting card artists, pull together all of your best images to show off your abilities and potential. Head to a greeting card aisle near you and take a look at the styles of each brand, then decide which fits your personal style the best. Hallmark offers a list of internships for both writers and front designers on their website, as does American Greetings. Once you decide, send them your application, complete with a resume and portfolio, and make yourself an encouraging “Good Luck” card while you wait to hear back!
Food Stylist
What it is: No, this is not someone who dresses pumpkins up in sweaters. A food stylist ensures that food looks perfect before being photographed or videotaped for advertisements. Think about the commercials that you see for Burger King and Wendy’s, and how steamy and delicious those meals look on TV. Food stylists are responsible for that involuntary drooling that begins the second you see that juicy cheeseburger.
How to get there: Food stylists should begin with a solid culinary education, and should try to spend a few years working in the restaurant business (preferably as a chef). They should go on to become a food stylist’s assistant to learn the tricks of the trade—looks are more important than taste in the food styling business!—at which point they can branch out and find their own clients. Major companies like General Mills and McDonald’s offer paid internships for “Food Styling Assistants,” where you’re given the opportunity to learn and work in a food photography studio.
Political Speech Writer
What it is: You can go on Tumblr and see zillions of GIFs depicting the most goosebump-inducing speeches President Obama has ever given. Though, to his credit, Barack Obama is an incredible public speaker, someone behind the scenes wrote all the inspirational words that he is saying in these speeches. If you’re creative, informed, and motivated, writing speeches for politicians (whether on a local, state, or national level) could be the job for you!
How to get there: The first thing you need to do is enroll yourself in classes on writing, public speaking, and persuasion. Start reading and watching the news every day, and write speeches on random current events as a test-run for yourself, to see if you’re up for the job. Then join a local political campaign. Get involved in politics and show your support before you approach politicians about their speeches. If they have an opening for a speech writer, great! If not, ask if you could work as an intern and shadow one of the current speech writers for experience. It’s a long haul—just ask President Obama’s former speech writer Jon Favreau, who began as “the kid who puts together the audio clips” in the Kerry campaign—but it’s worth it if you’ve got the talent and dedication for the job.

{Cookies & Beer} Oatmeal Cookies with a Grown Up Twist

On a whim, I picked up some dried tart cherries that were on clearance and thought they'd make a fun alternative to raisins for my all-time favorite cookie--oatmeal chocolate chip with raisins.

After a little first day of Fall walk with the kiddo this week, we baked up some oatmeal cookies with dark chocolate chips and chopped dried cherries (we taste-tested the combo while making them, of course). The salty, chewy, chocolaty, bitter, tart combination is right up my alley.

I also had Goat Boy, an Imperial Weizenbock on hand, and opened it up to savor with these lovelies. Almond milk for the kiddo, and we were two happy campers. Cheers!

The beer is spicy, with notes of clove and mild banana aroma. The clove gets more noticeable as the beer warms, and the beautiful reddish color of the beer is just perfect for an early Fall afternoon.

In hindsight, I'm not sure these cookies are the best pairing for this beer, but Creme Brulee or New York style cheesecake--neither of which I have the tools or know-how to make--might be the perfect pair. It didn't stop me from enjoying the thought, though. Note to self, acquire know-how for creme brulee and cheesecake.

The recipe I used was just the one on the back of the store-brand old fashioned oats we had on hand, but I've reprinted it for you below.

2 sticks of room temp. unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3 cups uncooked oats
1 cup nuts (each chopped dried tart cherries and dark chocolate chips)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until edges are brown. Yield: about two dozen.

My personal tips:

1. Get two bowls--one for wet ingredients, one for dry and set them out next to everything that will go into them. After you've put the ingredients in the bowl, put them away. I'm always forgetting an ingredient, or having trouble remembering what I've already put in (moreso with the kiddo nearby than at other times--for obvious reasons).

2. Make sure you use unsalted, room temperature butter, and really whip it up good with the sugars (I use a hand mixer now, but I used to use a fork and just go to town). You'll also want to add in the eggs and vanilla and beat those together. Using salted butter is OK, but it means your cookies will just be saltier if you still use the recommended amount of added salt.

3. Make sure your baking soda or baking powder (whichever the recipe calls for) are new or newly opened. They lose their leavening power over time (which means flatter, more dense cookies than you might otherwise expect). Also, use a fork or whisk to evenly mix the dry ingredients together before combining them with wet ingredients. This makes sure your baking soda, salt and other ingredients don't all end up in 3 or 4 of your two dozen cookies.

4. A mellon baller or mini ice cream scoop (we use the latter) makes the portioning of the batter a little easier. You can also save the wrapper from your butter to grease the pan; just flip it over and smear and voila! Greased pans and not so greasy fingers.

5. Take out the cookies when the edges are just browned and let them cool on the cookies sheet. They'll look underdone, but I promise they aren't. Once cooled, the centers will be nice and chewy and the edges will be crispy and perfect. So long as you didn't forget to grease your pan before baking, they should come off fairly easily with a spatula.

Are you celebrating the cooler temps with any special baked goods? What's in your glass lately to celebrate the change of seasons?

Telling my story

Well today has been interesting because Fox 8 came to interview me for blogging about my pregnancy. I have never been interviewed before or been on the news so I am pretty nervous about how I looked and sounded...I hope that I did not sound silly because I know it will be chronicled for my little baby to is also quite thrilling to know that my child will get to see me talking about him or her before they were born. I hope and pray that things will continue to go well with the pregnancy and that I will be able to work through all of my emotions.

After we have seen similar initiatives by Nike with Nike iD and adidas with Mi adidas, New Balance will be launching the US574 Custom Program.

““Kicking things off, customers will be treated to a US made 574, produced to customer specifications through a simple web interface. We’ve seen custom sneakers before, and after nearly 10 years of internet based opportunity, the basics aren’t new. However, in employing the Norridgewock, Maine, manufacturing facility, New Balance highlights a core plant (responsible for 1/4 of New Balance North American sneaker shipments) and highlights a tradition of New England shoe making.””

The program launches on April 5th. Take a further look here.

What is CERN Experiment?

india Updated: Mar 30, 2010 11:43 IST
Large Hadron Collider

The Large Hadron Collider is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator intended to collide opposing particle beams of either protons at energy of 7 TeV per particle, or lead nuclei at energy of 574 TeV per nucleus. The term hadron refers to such particles that are composed of quarks. The LHC lies in a tunnel 27 kilometres in circumference, as much as 175 metres beneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland.

Tracklist Below

Murlo x Jasmine (Feat. Gemma Dunleavy)

It’s hard for us to write about this song. Murlo is incredibly talented and the way he works is unlike any other producer. We sometimes get the privilege to listen to sketches occasionally and sometimes we hear stuff fully formed. We have close to 70 songs of his that he has made over the years.

This one is a track that we love, from the initial sketches, to it being fully formed. I remember where I heard it the first time, I remember begging him to play it at raves (if only to somehow try and lift it from him). All the trials and tribulations only add to a song that I hope will be adding to his defining work. A song that we hope connects with people in the same way that other songs do.

Chudney J x Bounce

As the world waits for R8 (Rihanna’s 8th lp, which is gonna be funny for uk folks) Chudney J is filling that bad gyal void in our lives. Mixture of Tifa, Trina and La Chat over a simple but catchy beat is pretty great or GR8. Video is a tad NSFW.

Yola Araújo x Eu sou (Feat. Fabious)

More goodness from Angola, i can’t say much about it apart from the fact it’s produced by C4Pedro and is a light and breezy pop kizomba jam.

Timaya x Sanko

Song of the Summer alert. Timaya rides this simple afropop meets 90’s dancehall vibe in proper singjay style. The xylophone touches are what make you keep coming back to this gem.

The Dance Hall x A – Z of African Dances

This is essential because sometimes it’s easy to just think of the current wave of Afro-pop being all that there is. Instead, this video created by Senegal’s first Urban Dance studio captures a lot of why Africa is great. All while the exceptional instrumental to Skelewu is playing. Dancing, we have felt has always been essential to music and in the grand rush to create festivals and events it often gets overlooked. The Dance Hall is meant for dancing, let this be your guide.

AC Milan sport psychologist: Balotelli's a nice, polite lad

A sport psychologist who has been brought in to work with AC Milan's players believes Mario Balotelli is a 'nice lad'.

Enigmatic marksman Mario Balotelli has a reputation for unpredictability but a sport psychologist has spoken out in his defence.

New AC Milan coach Clarence Seedorf has enjoyed a positive start to life on the Rossoneri bench and seems to have a good working relationship with Balotelli.

Seedorf has also brought in a leading sport psychologist, Bruno De Michelis, to meet with members of the squad.

De Michelis will be looking to identify some of the mental causes of Milan's poor start to the season, but he seems impressed by Balotelli and also his coach.

"Seedorf has established an adult and professional relationship with Mario," De Michelis is quoted as saying in the Corriere della Sera.

"There's a lot of empathy and everything is based on dialogue. Seedorf is a man who tries to understand people's needs and looks to satisfy them.

"I've only been here a short time but Balotelli seems to me to be a polite and nice lad."

Balotelli is sporting a new Mohican hair style which hairdresser Amos Bersini has explained is designed to bring out the warrior in the striker.

Training Updates

Every youth deserves a trained leader.  For years that has been a common credo among Scout leaders at all levels.  We all commit significant portions of our time and talents to the Scouting program; all with the common goal of offering the best possible program to the youth who look to us for leadership.

For a number of months now, the Council Training Committee has been considering what this means and how we can insure that we are providing the trained leadership needed to continue strengthening Hawk Mountain’s programs.

The Council Executive Committee and Board, have approved a phased required training policy, which will, by 2018, insure that all leaders are trained in their leadership positions.  For each position, leaders will need to have completed the appropriate training (listed below) in order to renew their membership in the Hawk Mountain Council.

Membership Renewal Training Requirements: (When do you have to be trained in order to recharter?)

2016: Professional Staff, Board Members, Commissioners, District Committee Members, Cubmasters, Scoutmasters, Venture Crew Advisors, Unit Committee Members, and Chartered Organization Representatives.

2017: Den Leaders, Assistant Den Leaders, and Venture Crew Assistant Advisors

2018: Assistant Scoutmasters (other than any in the Scouting Reserve Program)

The required training for each position is:

Cub Scouting:

-There is a leader specific training for each position:  Cubmaster/Assistant Cubmaster, Den Leader, Pack Committee and Pack Trainer.  Complete the training for your current position.

Boy Scouting:

-Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmaster – The 2 required training courses are Boy Scout Leader Specific and  Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills (IOLS)

-Committee Chairs and Members – Complete the Troop Committee Challenge Training

-Advisors and Assistant Advisors – Complete Venturing Advisor Specific Training

- Committee – Complete the Crew Committee Challenge Training

-District Committee Members – District Committee Training Workshop

-Chartered Organization Representatives – Training the Chartered Organization Representative or Key 4 Training

-Commissioners – Commissioner Basic Training

The Council Training Committee is gearing up to facilitate all the required training, and we hope that you, as fellow dedicated leaders, will make every effort to complete your required training as soon as possible.  We will be continuing to schedule and advertise training through Scoutwire, on the Council website, at roundtables, etc.  We will distribute instruction sheets to help you take advantage of the many on-line training opportunities available or you can visit You will need your membership number to complete the online training so ask your Unit committee chair or leader if you need help.  In addition to our normal number of training classes, we’ll be offering additional sessions of many required courses.  For example, in addition to the currently scheduled IOLS course in June and August, we will be offering a fall course.  Boy Scout Leader Specific will be offered several weeks at summer camp this year.  On March 12, 2016, we will be hosting a University of Scouting at Albright College, at which we plan to offer all required trainings with the exception of IOLS.  A training calendar is available on the council website.  In addition, much of this training is exportable and can be delivered to selected groups, if you can demonstrate a need for us to come to you, and you have a sufficient number of folks requiring training in a given area.  We are committed to helping your unit become 100% trained!

We hope that everyone will take the necessary steps to become a trained leader and help us provide the high quality, effective, trained leadership necessary to give our youth the maximum possible benefit of being a Scout.

Thanks for your time and your on-going commitment to our youth, as they are the future of America.

Yours in Scouting,

Hawk Mountain Council Training Committee

Eight different Eagles net goals with junior Cam Atkinson scoring twice

Junior forward Cam Atkinson picked up two goals for the Eagles

BOSTON - The No. 2/3 Boston University men's ice hockey team suffered its first home loss of the season on Friday evening, as No. 8 Boston College topped the Terriers, 9-5, at Agganis Arena in the opener of a home-and-home weekend series between the archrivals. With the loss, BU dropped to 7-2-5 (5-2-4 HEA).

The Eagles (10-5-0, 7-4-0 HEA) scored three goals in each period and got goals from eight different players. The visitors jumped out to an early 2-0 advantage with tallies just 23 seconds apart and never looked back, earning leads of 4-0 and 6-1.

In the third stanza, the teams exchanged goals until the Terriers scored twice in a row to close the gap to 8-5 with 4:47 remaining. BC then converted a penalty shot to account for the 9-5 final.

BU garnered goals from five different players representing all four classes, as senior Joe Pereira, juniors Andrew Glass and David Warsofsky, sophomore Max Nicastro and freshman Matt Nieto all found the back of the net.

Junior Kieran Millan started for the Terriers and allowed three goals on 10 shots before being pulled after a period. Classmate Grant Rollheiser made 18 saves over the final two stanzas.

BC was paced by junior Cam Atkinson, who scored a pair of goals, and sophomore Chris Kreider, who notched a game-best three points (1g, 2a). Senior John Muse recorded 18 saves to pick up the win in goal.

BU was 3-for-15 with the man advantage, while BC was 3-for-8. The Eagles outshot the Terriers by a 37-23 margin.

The result marked the first time the Terriers gave up nine goals in a game since a 9-6 setback against Maine at Walter Brown Arena on March 1, 2002.

The two teams will complete their weekend series on Saturday (Dec. 4) at BC's Conte Forum. Game time is set for 7:30 p.m.

The caption underneath Bieber's mugshot read "MAPLE LEAFS FAN", as he apparently admitted to being a fan of the team back in 2011.

The Leafs were already losing 3-1 at the time Bieber's face popped up on the Jumbotron, but after that they allowed four straight goals to go down 7-1 to the Stars.

Robert Rodriguez's Machete Kills will have its world premiere when it opens Fantastic Fest 2013 in Austin.

“Every year we compile our dream targets for opening-night film; Machete Kills was at the top of that list,” said Fantastic Fest co-founder and creative director Tim League in the announcement. “We are going to pull out all the stops to ensure Robert’s world premiere red carpet experience is literally blood red.”

With a screenplay by Kyle Ward and based on a story by Rodriguez and his younger brother Marcel Rodriguez, Machete Kills reunites audiences with Trejo's ex-Federale agent, who is recruited by the president to take down a madman revolutionary. The film also stars Michelle Rodriguez, Sofia Vergara, Amber Heard, Charlie Sheen, Lady Gaga, Antonio Banderas, Jessica Alba, Demian Bichir, Vanessa Hudgens and Cuba Gooding Jr.

In June, Open Road Films announced that Rodriguez's sequel to 2010's Machete would shift from a Sept. 13 release date to Oct. 4.

Fantastic Fest will run through Sept. 26.

"I think I still have a lot of room to grow," the actor, just 33, says in accepting the award for a career spanning more than 20 years, presented to him ahead of a screening of his new film, "No."

LOCARNO, Switzerland -- Mexican actor Gael Garcia Bernal, just 33, became one of the youngest actors to win an award for career excellence in the 65-year history of the Locarno Film Festival on Wednesday, ahead of the Piazza Grande screening of Pablo Larrain’s No, in which Garcia Bernal played a gifted advertising executive who helped to oust Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet.

Also on tap Wednesday was the world premiere screening La Fille de nulle part (The Girl From Nowhere), written, directed and produced by Jean-Claude Brisseau, who also played the film's male lead. The film, which screened in competition, was made with an extremely low budget from Brisseau’s own savings.

STORY: Locarno to Honor Mexico's Gael Garcia Bernal with Excellence Award

Locarno artistic director Olivier Pere introduced Garcia Bernal as a “Latino divo,” while Garcia Bernal marveled at the crowd that nearly filled the 8,800-seat Piazza Grande, saying it was truly “grand” -- using the Spanish word that means both “big” and “great.”

Garcia Bernal said that despite a career lasting more than 20 years and acting roles in more than 40 films, shorts and television programs that he still feels like he is “green” as an actor.

“I think I still have a lot of room to grow,” the diminutive Garcia Bernal said. “Perhaps not in terms of height, but in terms of experience.”

STORY: Producer Arnon Milchan, French Comedy 'Camille Rewinds' Are Tuesday's Highlights in Locarno

Garcia Bernal was presented with Locarno’s Excellence Award, the same award given to 66-year-old U.K. actress Charlotte Rampling earlier in the festival. Locarno also gave a Golden Leopard career award to reclusive French director Leos Carax, 52, while other career honors went to producer Arnon Milchan, 68, and, soon, to 57-year-old Hong Kong director Johnnie To.

Perhaps as a nod to his comparatively young age, Garcia Bernal displayed a youthful exuberance when the black-and-gold prize, shaking the award over his head and using it to play air guitar.

Earlier, La Fille de nulle part turned heads in a full Fevi cinema, second only to Piazza Grande among Locarno’s largest venues. The film, an unusual love story between a grieving widower who lost his wife a generation before (played by Brisseau) and a homeless woman, was made for just €62,000 (around $77,000). Brisseau said the production used only one camera, which was transported at times by an adapted baby carriage.

The festival, which got underway Aug. 1, will conclude Saturday with an awards ceremony and the Piazza Grande screening of Swiss director Markus Imhoof’s documentary More Than Honey.

Retail Reporter: Elie Saab Opens First Haute Couture Salon in London

Estrop/Getty Images
Elie Saab

Brexit didn't sway the designer's choice to open up shop in the U.K.

Situated between London’s famous Bond Street shopping thoroughfare and the manicured confines of Berkeley Square are two entrances to Elie Saab’s newly opened flagship in a neoclassical townhouse at 24 Bruton Street. One is the store’s main entryway, inviting visitors into a spacious, marble-floored and chandelier-hung room lined with ready-to-wear clothes, glass-encased jewelry and leather goods, scarves and perfume. Another is a smaller, more discreet entrance — one reserved exclusively for appointment-only high-rollers ushered to the upper floors.

Elie Saab anticipated enough VIPs that he decided to open a full fledged haute couture salon on the building’s uppermost floor — the Lebanese designer’s third after Beirut and Paris, and the very first, to anyone’s knowledge, in London. (Most couture salons are located in Paris, where the tradition of made-to-measure haute couture began.)

Between two appointment rooms and a generously sized fitting room walled in mohair, customers can select and be measured for garments, which are then made and shipped from the company’s design atelier in Lebanon.

Saab, whose designs are a favorite of celebrities including Halle Berry and Hilary Swank, said via email that he wanted to open a London couture salon to better serve his clients.

“The London woman, and the woman who travels to and loves London, is different and unique from our other European clientele. It’s important to us to cater to all of our customers globally, and we wanted to build and create a space that felt personal and specific,” Saab said.

Beyond the three rooms devoted to couture, there is a lower floor dedicated entirely to Mr. Saab’s specialty, bridal — a dream-like space with mirrored walls and plush dove gray furniture in dove gray — and a first floor displaying cocktail and eveningwear. Each space juxtaposes modern and traditional elements, setting plate glass and aluminum chandeliers against elaborate moldings and Empire-style furniture.

Saab and his team spent three years looking for the right building. “Mayfair was always top of mind as its elegance and flair very much reflects our brand DNA,” he wrote, adding that the U.K.’s recent decision to leave the E.U. did not impact the company’s plans. “We planned the opening of the salon for over a year and didn’t feel the need to postpone or reevaluate because of Brexit.”

The location is the designer's largest flagship to date at 10,000 square feet.

Hi Aprilsparrow,

One of my boys is also in first grade (the other one is in 4th) and we do more or less the same I think, but not so strict.
They have to be ready, washed and dressed by 8, and then they have time until 9 to do different things: drawing, playing or video (not TV).

Around 9 we start, but if I see they are doing something really interesting, nice drawing, playing really well, I just let them continue a while.

Then we start maths or reading and writing, it depends on what they choose. We do that for not more than one hour, sometimes it takes a lot less, if they work very well and are finished they can play. They have a little break and then we switch, if they did math first then we do reading or the other way round, for about one hour again..

If there is time left before lunch (around 13:00) I sometimes give them a computertask, silent reading, sometimes worksheets on diferent subjects or I read to them or they just play.

In the afternoon we just take a book (children's enciclopedias, science book, animal books or one of the different educational magazines we are subscribed at.......) , I read to them and whatever comes in the book that we don't know (country, names of things and animals.....) we look it up on the internet, a map or other books. Or they do the worksheets and games in the magazines. Sometimes we do a science project or sometimes they watch another video.

They do arts, music and languages in the afternoon from 5 to 7 practically every afternoon.

So I think we do more or less the same. For me it is important that they do maths and reading/writing in the morning for about 2 hours. For the rest we just do this and that, they play a lot, but I think (hope) they learn a lot from the this and that (videos, computerwork, silent reading, magazines, playing, inventing, listening to my reading, drawing.....)

Are you doing so much and so long that you resent it? If so you are doing too much.

Are your kids feeling burnt out? Take a break for a day, a field trip or even longer.

Wow I am tired just looking at what you do! Most homeschoolers I know do about 1 1/2 hours for first grade. Longer if they are doing craft or a science experiment.
My dd is just finishing up K (School year runs late Jan to early Dec over here) Bible takes about 10 minutes, LA about 20, math about 20 also. I do not plan on spending any longer then an hour on those subjects next year for first grade. Teachers will tell you for that long school day they only average about 2 1/2 hours of actual teaching. Homeschooling is concentrated learning, you don't need so much of it.

We try and start at 10am and I never go passed 12. Once Bible, LA and Math is done that hour from about 11am on is open for craft. Next year that hour will be for history or art or science. I would not do them all every day. If we finish in 20 minutes then we would be finished. I do not homeschool after lunch.

My daughter is first grade age, although she is doing mostly second and third grade work. I like schedules, but I found that they make me feel frustrated when my day does not cooperate. We have settled into 2 or 3 long days each week and the remaining are short. I have only one child so she does not really have a playmate until the neighborhood child are home from school and their after school care. So if we are not doing lessons, or lessons cleverly disguised as fun and games, she can be just running around getting stir crazy, but she also can play quietly by herself. She just sees lessons as time with her mother for the most part at this age.

A long day currently goes something like this:
Our lessons begin during breakfast, because my daughter eats very slowly. So she often has a Bible reading/study and French lessons during breakfast.

Piano/music-depends but usually 30 to 60 minutes.

Math-30 to 60 minutes.

Logic-15 minutes.

Geography-20 minutes. (I do this as a stand alone currently only because my daughter really loves geography. Eventually this will be incorporated in history/social studies unit studies with maps and journaling, which I hope to start by summer.)

During lunch, we do a devotion and Bible study and begin Latin and Greek which take only about 15 minutes.

Language Arts fills most of the afternoon with Handwriting, Copy Work, Spelling, and Reading etc.

Science stuff after that, if there is time or games/activities that teach strategy, logic, anatomy, etc. Just playing around with her microscope can keep her fascinated for an hour.

On short days, when we have other activities, like Chess Club, she does Music, Reading, short lessons with Math or Language Arts and/or whatever we did not get to usually Science or a unit study with History. One day a week, when we go to town for piano lessons, she is with me shopping for organic foods and learning about things on the way.

That is a good schedule too. Right now my son is 22 months old. We are still doing short days, but when he turns 2 we are moving up to longer days gradually. He is only learning Spanish as a foreign language, but I will be getting French and Latin in there sometime in the future.

I still haven't decided on which instruments to give him a choice to play. My husband plays guitar and piano. I bet he picks guitar, he loves watching daddy play and he has his own elmo one right now. LOL!!

Anyway, if anyone else has any ideas for scheduling that would be very helpful.

That seems like a long day for a first grader. You don't want him, or yourself to burn out. This is after all the beginning of a lot of years of schooling. How about more nature walks, zoo trips, and library visits. And read, read, read...about all sorts of things.

Yes, from the time my daughter was 18 months, we went to the library weekly for a storytime. We stopped when she was around 4yo because I had a business, she had piano lessons, we had begun homeschooling, ut mostly because just about half the children that were going then always had colds. :(

About going to story time at the library vs. getting books and reading them yourself, with your child:
Our library has story time with the children's librarian. Our 2 yr old won't be able to go to that until she is 2-1/2. They have this really cool room with all kinds of puzzles, magnetic letters on a magnetic wall, puppets, etc. And the librarian always does an easy craft with them. It's 45 minutes long. I think I will take her this summer when she is old enough. They don't let anyone else in that room. It's also the Children's librarian office. I do like that they don't have to register to go to it. Pretty simple.

So, I don't mind because I can go to the library with my 4 children, and it's very quiet during the day. It's a "talking" library, so I can read to and play with my 2, 7, 9 and 12 yr old as long as it doesn't disturb anyone. That's really nice. They have lots of toys, games, puzzles and activities there.
I can take the books home from the library(even my 2 yr old loves picking out her own books) and they read them as we walk home(exercise, yea!) and stop at the grocery store to get food for dinner or maybe just a snack :)
Our town is small, and sometimes I tend to complain about it. Now that I tell you all about it, it doesn't seem so bad....
There are bigger libraries that are not within driving distance. So, I make a point to inter-libary loan books. Sometimes they purchase books that we have requested.
It would be hard for me to give up going to the library. I think nursing my 2 yr old has helped her keep from getting sick. I don't really worry about that too much. I just wish some of the other homeschool families would come there more often.

It looks like you have a good schedule. I have a first grader also. We start about 9:30 also, but usually finish by 1:30 (and this is with 1 1/2 - 2 hours of breaks). But I don't include Art or Music in my schedule although my son does practice piano in the evening. We also do some History and Science integrated with our literature. Sometimes we spend a little more time if we have a cool science experiment. Also, I wanted to mention that I only hs my boys (1st grade and preschool) for 4 days a week. I'm not too worried, because they are both above grade-level in reading and math). Find what fits for your family and rely on God to guide you.

Usually spelling is started in 3rd grade so if you wanted to cut something out you could do that. or do it 2 times a week. I actually like your schedule. It seems to fit.

Next oldest does Math language and spelling words. I work on Phonics and Math with 2 middle kids, baby plays with puzzles and other educational toys.
Then we have lunch.
After lunch older kids practice their instruments ( violin and guitar) for 30 min. Then 5 yr old has a rest time while babies nap. Oldest reads for 1 hour while I have a quite time in my room. ( I am an introvert to this time is essential for me).
Then older girls and I work on writing, lapbooks, any help with math that is needed. unit studies Or quizing that needs done. 5yr old does crafts at this time.
Babies get up and they play quietly in playroom, while we finish up.
Once all work is finished they may play, read, do computer games, or crafts.
We do not have a set start finish time, some days we are so excited about a subject we just keep going, others we finish a project early and call it a day, work on chores ect.. :D :D

This is our first year of homeschooling. I'm a former elementary public school teacher, so I , of course, set out with a very strict schedule for my 2nd, 3rd, and 5th grader. It quickly became apparant that a strict schedule like that confined us and left me, and them grouchy, cuz I was always in a hurry! We've thrown out the schedule, as far as what subject when.

I made up assignment books for each child. In their assignment book, they have a list of required assignments that they do daily (journal, wake up work (math), daily spelling, daily geography, handwriting, bible verse, and daily math facts. Each day, I write in other individualized assingments for the day so that each morning, they know exactly what they need to finish by the end of the day.

We start each morning at 8:30 sharp (with the occasional late start due to a late night or following a ski day..) and work until 12:30. Those times are pretty non-negotiable. I usually let them work till 9 independently. I use the time to either correct the previous days' work, or get assignments or group lessons ready ( I make up my own cirriculum, but they do have several workbooks at their grade level).

At 9, I'll either teach a group lesson on whatever topic we are working on - American Revolution, Verbs, Character traits, persuasive paragraphs, Water cycle etc., OR I'll call the kids up individually for their math lesson (math is the only individualized grade-level lesson I teach). While I meet with one child, the others work independently through their checklist.

We take a break around 10:30. The kids will go outside for a while, play in their rooms, or get a snack. By 10:45/11:00 we'll come back together for Read Aloud. We LOVE this time. I'll quite often read aloud for 30 min. especially if we are getting near the end of a good book (two great ones we couldn't stop reading were True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi, and My Brother Sam is Dead by Collier and Collier). This only leaves us about 1.5 hours to finish work independently. Often I meet individually with my 5th grader to extend things a bit more for her. Sometimes we have an additional group lesson during this time. It kind of depends on the day. Some days are heavy in Teacher directed type lessons where I'm 'teaching' them stuff - other days are more quiet - they are just getting work done that's already been taught or explained.

We always break for lunch at 12:30. Sometimes we just stop for the day then, even if they didn't finish all their work on assignment books. Other days, we do an additional hour of work after lunch. We travel a lot (which has a whole schedule all it's own), so if we've gotten 'behind' in our studies due to travel, we'll definitely do more work after lunch! Yesterday we took a spontaneous day off to ski, so we'll do an extra hour each day this week to 'make up for it'!

When we travel, we get pretty creative. A few weeks ago, we went to the mountains for a week.We did school work before and after leaving for the ski lodge, AND we brought grammar workbooks to the ski lodge and worked on them here and there when we came in for lunch and hot chocolate breaks. We like to get work done on airplanes and in airports, so as to have less work to do at our arrival location!
Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.

The nice thing about homeschooling is that you don't have to switch gears when a bell rings like they do in public school. It is difficult for some kids to go directly from one subject to the next w/ out a break in between. Some schools have moved to block scheduling to decrease the number of transitions throughout the school day.

Has anyone tried more of a "block" approach where they will focus primarily on two or three subjects a day and then come back to these same subjects two days later instead of the very next day and work on 2 or 3 other subjects on the days in between?

I'm not sure how it would work w/ little ones whose attention span is limited.

UPDATE: Rentrak Expands Game Rev-Sharing Program

8 Oct, 2002 By: Kurt Indvik

Rentrak at the East Coast Video Show announced it has inked a one-year deal with Vivendi Universal Games to offer video game rental revenue-sharing to its 6,000 independent retail accounts.

The deal features 10 games under all three major platforms, including Spirro, Bruce Lee and Tribes set for November release; Lord of the Rings, Scorpion King, Crash Bandicott, Seablade and RLH-Run Like Hell due out this month. A handful of games already shipped, such as September's The Thing, also will be included in the deal, but those will be resolicited to retailers under the new terms, Roberts said.

"They pick and choose which titles they'll provide us over the course of the year," said Chris Roberts, VP of sales for Rentrak.

Terms are the same as those for Rentrak's first game under a revenue-sharing agreement announced last week.That title is top-seller Blood Rayne from Majesco Sales available Oct. 31.

Roberts has declined to specify how many agreements the company will be announcing, but added he expected “conservatively” 10 publishers coming on board in the next month.

“We have a lot of momentum right now and are in the midst of negotiating with a number of publishers as we speak,” Roberts said.

Roberts said Rentrak's typical video game revenue-sharing arrangement will involve an upfront cost of $10 to $11.50 per game, with a 50–50 split of the rental revenue over a one-year lease period. There will be a 120-day sellthrough option on used games, with a minimum sellthrough price of $10 and an even split, Roberts said. At the end of the lease, a nominal end-of-lease fee may be assessed depending on how the title performed at rental, he said.

The rental business is becoming a much more attractive option for game publishers, said Roberts, noting that there are some 200 titles coming out in October. While the major franchises such as “Grand Theft Auto” will have no problem gaining retail space and consumer support at major sellthrough outlets, many titles will have difficulty getting any shelf space or consumer attention, and thus the rental option becomes that much more important to expose consumers to these games. Recent surveys demonstrating the ability of rental to drive sales on second-tier games especially are not lost on these suppliers, Roberts added. “They are definitely getting the concept of rental as a tremendous value to their business,” he said.

Eric Smith, owner of 13-store St. Cloud, Fla.-based Video King, has been involved in video games since 1989 and generates about 10 percent of his revenue from the sector. He acknowledged the importance of revenue-sharing as the key to taking the video game business to the next level for independents.

“It's all about being able to provide the depth of games to satisfy our customers,” Smith said. “And it's important for us as it improves our competitive stance against the chains. It also reduces our risk. We will definitely support this title [Blood Rayne] 100 percent.”

Indeed, in a recent earnings call, Rentrak chairman and CEO Paul Rosenbaum said video games as a business segment of the home video specialty retailer are becoming critical.

“Some retailers are going to be forced to put in video games and move some of the rest aside just to be competitive with the Movie Gallery, Hollywood or Blockbuster down the street,” he said.

Video game rentals have generated $524 million year-to-date, according to the Video Software Dealers Association, an increase of 13 percent from last year at this time.

  • Characters usually change as a result of a problem and must to be able to resolve it.

  • Place is imaginary, but possible.
  • Time is anytime or no time.
  • Can take a hard line and say it must be of this world and totally plausble as we know this world from immediate present to past. Or could move toward future and include science fiction, time travel. However, if and where would science fiction and other future fantasy fit?

  • Must be plausable and believable.
  • Usually problem or puzzling event for characters to resolve.

Balloon Piercing

Elasticity, pressure, equilibrium, evidence, model, explanation

  1. Balloons, knitting needle, bamboo skewer, or other narrow pointy object, oil, soap or other lubricant

Backgroung Information

The piercing object may act like a plug and the elasticity of the balloon may be strong enough to make a tight enough seal around the plug to block the air in the balloon from escaping.

Inflate a balloon to about half its normal size.

  1. Tie the balloon.
  2. Use a sharp knitting needle or bamboo skewer and gently wiggle it to make a small puncture in a thick spot on the balloon.
  3. Smoothly slide the needle or skewer through the balloon and repeat the procedure on the other side of the balloon where it is also thick.
  4. For show stick the side of the balloon with a pin.
  5. Draw a picture or write an explanation for why it did not and did pop.
  6. For a hint you might pretend your finger is the puncturing object and slide it through a plastic bag.

The Ultimate Geography and Timeline Guide

by Maggie Hogan and Cindy Wiggers

Reviewed by Martha Robinson

Purchase details: The Ultimate Geography and Timeline Guide by Maggie Hogan and Cindy Wiggers. Large paperback, 356 pages, $34.95. Please support by buying this program from our Christian Book Distributors link.

Billing itself as "a complete geography resource for grades K-12," The Ultimate Geography and Timeline Guide is a huge compendium of information designed as a parents or teachers guide to make geography interesting and fun. While both authors are homeschooling parents, this resource guide frequently addresses classroom situations but almost all of the activities can be easily adapted for home use.

The authors begin with a friendly introduction of tips and commonly asked questions followed by a "yearly guide for the less than confident," recommended pages to complete based upon the childs age. Six units follow.

"Just the Basics, Please!" is the first unit. "Planning Your Destination," chapter one, includes some information about how to go about unit studies, learning styles, and some of the supplies needed (maps, globes, atlases, etc.) for geography studies. The authors discuss in detail the importance of a student-created notebook and the impact this technique can have on the learning process. In chapter 2, "Packing Your Bags: A Refresher Course," the authors provide a concise, yet detailed, overview of terms and concepts of not only physical geography but also the less frequently considered "human geography" that concerns itself with races, languages, religion, culture, and the like. This chapter ends with a discussion of the five themes of geography (location, place, relationships, movement, regions) and how they make geography much more than simply where places are located. In the final chapter of this unit, "Finding Your Way with Maps," facts about maps and different types of maps are explained.

The next unit is called "Taking in the Sights: Fun and Games." Creative ways to get started or to add interest to geography studies are introduced. Foreign stamps and money, foreign exchange students, and pen pals are some of the ideas. Numerous home-made games are suggested along with cooking activities and an archaeological dig in the form of cookies with nuts and raisins.

Unit three, "Across the Great Divide, Geography Through the Curriculum," includes suggestions for integrating geography with the other subjects of science, math, history, computer (via the internet), and literature. A complete unit study for learning about Holland using Hans Brinker or The Silver Skates by Mary Mapes Dodge illustrates how to bring geography into literature study.

"Just Geography," unit four, contains material for students to "conquer the continents." One chapter offers a survey of all the continents with mapping exercises and questions for late elementary and middle school aged children, while the following chapter has a somewhat more rigorous survey of the continents for high schoolers.

Reproducibles are available in unit five. Eighteen maps of continents, the world, ancient civilizations, and more are included along with fifteen activity sheets and several planning sheets for the teacher. Flash cards with geography terms and small blocks of "stuff to know by heart" such as longest rivers, largest islands, and most populous countries, are also in this section.

Unit six, "Tour Through Time: Timelines," begins with an explanation of how helpful timelines can be in gaining an understanding of when events occurred. Many different activities and methods for making timelines are suggested. A reproducible notebook page for the timeline and over 300 timeline figures are provided. "Who Am I?" game cards may also be reproduced to create an interesting quiz on events, people, and landmarks in history. About 150 cards are included, and several blanks are provided so that the family may make more.

The appendix has a glossary, the answer key, a chronological listing of timeline figures, an index of the timeline figures and "Who Am I?" cards, and an index for the book.

Recommendation: The Ultimate Geography and Timeline Guide is an incredible resource of materials for teaching geography. While it does not provide day by day guidance for the teacher, it is full of ideas to make geography interesting and FUN. (See the review of Trail Guide to World Geography if you are seeking a more structured program.) A creative homeschooling parent who enjoys planning her own activities will find this book to be invaluable. resources related to this review:'s Geography Section for interesting ideas and resources!

Next Honda Odyssey May Get New Hybrid System

by Honda in the News on February 19, 2010

Honda has long been considered a leader in hybrid technology. But the Japanese automaker has avoided the temptation to outfit their larger vehicles with its hybrid power-train, unlike competing automakers such as Toyota. Pragmatic Honda engineers have felt that building a hybrid Ridgeline, Pilot, or even CR-V, would simply not yield the improved mileage to justify the additional cost.

Honda’s strategy of reserving its hybrid technology for use in smaller cars appears to be changing, as the all-new upcoming Odyssey minivan may include the availability of a hybrid system.

After considerable research in hybrid technology specifically for larger vehicles, sources inside Honda suggest that the Odyssey will be the first application. Other Honda cars are powered by a single electric motor, which limits the amount of weight it could adequately move. The hybrid system found on the Toyota Prius, for example, features two motors, which also enables the same system to be adapted for the heavier Highlander SUV. By adopting a similar approach, Honda may have a suitable system to power future Odyssey or Pilot models.

Whether we see a hybrid option when the new Odyssey when it reaches showrooms is currently not known. But according to Tomohiko Kawanabe, chief operating officer of automobile research and development at Honda, the system has definitely reached the development stage and should be coming down the pipeline soon.

Dawn Approach repels Toronado in St James's Palace

Dawn Approach St. James 615 X 400
Photo: Emma-Louise Kerwin (Goodtosoft.co.uk)

Dawn Approach bounced back from a disappointing defeat at Epsom with a display of determination, digging deep to repel the sustained charge of old rival Toronado in the St James's Palace Stakes.

Seemingly unlikely to be entered in the event after the Derby, Jim Bolger took the late decision to enter his star three year old son at Royal Ascot after pleasing his trainer in work on the lead up the the declarations stage for the event.

Unlike the emphatic display that Dawn Approach readily propelled towards his onlookers as a visionary delight, this was a display of sheer grit to repel the challenge of a horse whom Richard Hughes and Hannon hold in the highest regards. The greatest horse Hughes has ever ridden was back to his best in this Group 1 contest but his best was marginally insufficient when matched up against the incomparable brilliance of Kevin Manning.

Manning has done little wrong since Dawn Approach made his debut, he has looked after the three year old son of New Approach when it was needed and has allowed him to display his superior abilities when it is an option. Today Dawn Approach and Manning formed the perfect team once more with the colt responding to every ounce of Manning's urges in the battle towards a line. With another jockey on board, the result may not have been the same.

Richard Hannon and his team were notably disappointment and somewhat surprised by the lacklustre performance of Toronado at Newmarket. Whilst a clear reason for the performance is still yet to be detailed, this was the Toronado of old, the Toronado that the stable had full belief in and he was throwing down his finest effort in a bid to dethrone Dawn Approach.

"Richard [Hughes] was fighting me all the way but I was always holding on," said winning jockey, Kevin Manning. "He's a real battler. He took a bit of a bite again and was a little bit keen with me but he's done that well."

"I took great confidence from my staff. They were very keen to get him back and put him back into the fray," said Jim Bolger. "After a short period of time off he was put back on the hacking rota and I started to feel I might be able to get him back for Royal Ascot."

"I text Simon Crisford [Godolphin Racing Manager] and said "be prepared for a shock" and then called him the next day and said that I felt Dawn Approach would be ready for Royal Ascot. He checked with Sheikh Mohammed and it wasn't too long before we decided to go. I think Sheikh Mohammed was just as anxious as I was to get him back."

Asked on the future targets of Dawn Approach, Bolger responded, "We'll play it by ear and at some stage take some more risks I'm sure."

A stewards inquiry into the stretch run of the St James's Palace Stakes found that Dawn Approach had not directly been the cause for the interrupted run of Toronado and the placings therefore remained unaltered, but Richard Hughes was clear in his opinion after the race that he believed he would've won without the interference.

"I'd have won - I deliberately went round the outside so I didn't get a bump," said Hughes of the interference experienced with two furlongs to go as Glory Awaits edged out to cause a domino effect on the runners to his outside.

"He [Dawn Approach] was lucky to survive that," said Bolger. "He's very tough and hardy. I'm very happy, relief plays a part in it but I knew he wouldn't let me down today."

We might have another Excelebration minus Frankel in Dawn Approach. He is going to give the older Milers a working over including Declaration of War. What i am hoping is that after Dawn Approach runs in the QEII at Ascot later on in the year, if Godolphin choose to send him to the Breeders Cup mile to finish the year.
Very nice pair of colts drew off >> Love the Bolger quotes, Dan.
Rough and tumble performance by Dawn Approach. That was a great battle down the stretch.

Manufacturer: Nutri Source (View all products by Nutri Source)

Model: Horse Treats/ Carrot and Oat (View all Horse Treats/ Carrot and Oat reviews)

Category: Horse Treats

Purchase: I purchased a 2.5 ounce canister at Agway for approximately $5.00; it was a Christmas gift for the horses!!

Likes: The horses really like these treats! They are crunchy but not crumbly or hard. In addition to carrots and oats, they contain many vitamins and minerals, so the furboyz are getting some supplements as well. I think the boyz appreciate the carrot flavor-it is different from the usual molasses or mint; however, they do come in apple and mint flavors, so the boyz won't get totally bored!!

Dislikes: Nothing that I can think of!

Quality: I like that these treats come in a nice, clear plastic canister with a wide-mouth and secure, screw-on lid. The canister can be re-used for so many things!

Summary: The boyz seem to relish them. That's good enough for me!

I never had too much trouble with having two roosters, but I don't know
what your situation is like. A couple times a hen would have a clutch
and the young roosters would grow up subservient already, so there was
squabbling but mostly they stayed in line, no one got hurt. We have
introduced half-grown chicks to adults before, but there were so many
young'uns the older ones didn't try to attack them much. And we have a
pretty decent sized area for them, so the beta males had room to run
away. What I always thought was amusing is that only the dominant
rooster gets to crow, we would never hear any of the others until the
boss got removed. Then the others would squabble amongst themselves and
within a week or so only one voice would be heard again. Separate them
so they can't get at one another and they all go off.

Not Donna, but wanted to wish you the best since I had to get up

to be in this bloody office this morning. Happy 40th my dear.
Have the
best of days!
