Q: "Lunch" vs. "dinner" vs. "supper" — times and meanings? I've seen cases where a noon-time meal is referred to as dinner, and the evening meal is called supper. There's also lunch around noon followed by dinner in the evening. Is there a particular difference between dinner and supper, or a circumstance where lunch becomes dinner?

A: Born in Southwestern Ontario, Canada, raised in a traditional British household.
Breakfast – Morning meal breaking the overnight fast.
Morning Tea – tea and biscuit, sometimes a replacement for Afternoon Tea for those who dislike caffeine so close to bed time.
Lunch – Midday meal.
Afternoon Tea – 4 o'clock tea and biscuit.
Dinner – Largest, most formal end-of-day meal. Taken at a Dinner table with full cutlery and dishware.
Supper – Small informal meal taken before bed usually in a kitchen type setting.

A: I'm from Africa, Nigeria, of Ibo extraction. During our primary school days, we were taught that breakfast is the morning meal, lunch afternoon, supper evening and dinner night.

A: I'm a California native with parents who moved here from Maryland/Kansas and Indiana. Both sides of my family used dinner and supper interchangeably when referring to everyday meals. However, they used Sunday dinner when referring to a meal served on Sunday, generally between 2:00 and 3:00, as was also our custom for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, with leftovers being eaten for our evening meal. As I read these posts, I couldn't help wonder why the immortal painting was named The Last Supper. I wonder what time of day that meal took place?

A: Well – I got into this because I have come across references on Prince Edward Island, Canada, to lunch as an evening meal.  When I checked the original meaning of the word "luncheon" it seems the original Oxford defined it as a small meal between two larger meal.  Specifically, in L.M. Montgomery's Emily of New Moon, Emily's family spend the day travelling.  When they arrive home in the evening they are so tired that they eat a light lunch before retiring to bed (apologies for not being able to provide a direct quote at this moment).  Recently I also heard my neighbour on PEI refer to "lunch" as an light evening meal.
I have noted in Canada, the use of "turkey dinner", "lobster supper" and special meal patterns not familiar to me in Australia.
Growing up in Australia, it was breakfast in the early morning, morning tea mid morning, dinner at midday (hot main meal), afternoon tea mid-afternoon, tea in the early evening (sandwiches, soup etc) and then supper before bed (cup of tea/cocoa, piece of cake).  As time went on, work further away from home no longer permitted the midday "dinner".  The main meal moved to early evening (6 to 8pm) but I often refer to this main cooked evening meal as "tea" which really annoys my English-born husband.  My family originally came from the north of England (well, Cheshire anyway), and I noted elsewhere someone had this usage of "tea" for the North of England.

A: This thread shows the dangers of the English language and reminds me of Through the Looking Glass: "'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.' "
Being a middle-class middle-aged southern Englishman it is quite clear what I mean:  Lunch is the midday meal, tea is taken around 4/5pm and supper is the evening meal. If the evening meal is more formal and substantial it becomes dinner.  Lower down the social scale the midday meal is dinner, tea is the evening meal and supper is a snack at bed time.
25 years ago my sister's son was newly enrolled at a State primary school in a relatively poor area.  After a few weeks she had to call in at the administrative office.  She was greeted with "Mrs Sherry, so pleased to meet you, I have been dying to meet the only parent who writes 'lunch money' on the envelope containing dinner money."
In England you need to know about someone's education, age, and class, region and politics to be reasonably sure of understanding exactly what he means :)

A: Harvard's Dialect Survey had the question, "What is the distinction between dinner and supper?" Here's the geographic distribution of their results from 10,661 American respondents:

A: Not to disagree with any of the previous answers, but I am surprised that no one has mentioned that "dinner" can have two meanings. Only that of a mealtime has been addressed. Dinner can also mean the meal itself. They seem identical but consider the following sentences: "We enjoyed an elaborate turkey dinner"; "we had turkey for dinner". This distinction seems to mirror a lot of the conventions that other posters have made. With this in mind, would it be incorrect to say that one enjoyed a turkey dinner for supper? I don't know—it sure sounds weird.

A: The use of 'supper' in southern England is not universal.  Commonly, people appropriate this word for an evening meal to make themselves sound grand.
Growing up, we would have breakfast, lunch and tea and then, as the NZ chap wrote, cocoa/hot chocolate and biscuits as supper at around 9pm.  This was in London.
Nowadays, my brother refers to his evening meal as 'dinner'; I still refer to it as 'tea'.  I baulk when I read about 'supper clubs'.  Seems a bit socially exclusive (to the upper middle classes) to me.

A: In working-class families in the North of England, dinner was traditionally the noon-time meal, and there is an afternoon or evening meal called tea. However, this is changing to some extent as people move about and some try to sound more "Southern". (English usage in the South of England, or sometimes, more particularly the South-East, is generally taken to be "correct" English, as in this case.)

A: In AmE/culture:

*

*'lunch' is the midday meal (11:30am-1:30pm), however large it is (if you're eating something around that time, and you don't eat something bigger around that time, that was your lunch). If you eat your midday meal at 3pm, that's kind of a late lunch, but it wouldn't be called anything else. That is, in AmE, 'lunch' = midday meal; a midday meal is never called dinner or supper (but see the exception below).

*'dinner' or 'supper' is the evening meal 5-7pm, or if later than that, more likely to be called a 'late dinner' or 'late supper'. 'supper' is not as common a term for the evening meal in AmE (my family used to call it that when I was a kid but I have rarely heard anybody else use it). So there is not much difference between dinner and supper (in AmE), except...

*A midday or rather main meal on a Sunday, is sometimes called 'Sunday dinner' (never 'Sunday lunch') and is more likely to occur later in the afternoon, anywhere from noon to 4pm (well, OK, any time from noon to 8pm). There is nothing called 'Sunday supper', (dinner has a higher register feel to it than supper).
Just to note, in AmE/culture: there is no such thing as 'tea' as a meal (it just refers to the drink, not to any kind of cultural event as in BrE/culture). The evening meal, whether dinner or supper, is usually the biggest, most special meal of the day. 'Brunch' (usually Sunday brunch) is a big late morning/midday meal (skipping breakfast) that I think culturally came about because of having the first meal on a Sunday after church service; how or if that interferes with Sunday dinner I don't know - having both in one day would be excessive. Maybe Sunday dinner is if you have to spend the time after church preparing the meal, and brunch is if you go out afterwards.
Anyway, that's only mainstream AmE/culture. Off to Easter dinner...hm...that would be a Sunday dinner on Easter I guess.

A: My paternal grandfather grew up on a farm in the American Midwest in the 1920s and was fond of telling us about the day's schedule and the meals.

*

*Up before dawn to milk the cow, while food was prepared so that "breakfast" came around dawn and was typically a solid, hot meal.

*Then into the fields to work until "lunch" (a small meal usually sandwiches or cold leftovers) was delivered in the late morning (say 10:30 or 11:00).

*Back to work until mid afternoon (3:30 or 4:00 pm) when they'd return to the house for a small hot meal called "dinner".

*Milk the cows, chop wood, carry water, fix things, and other work near the house until "supper", a large hot meal was served sometime after dark.

I talked to others who lived on farms in that time, and they reported similar things. I never know anyone to hold that schedule off the farm, however.

Aside: you'll notice that the above represents the men's day, but that the women evidently had their hands just as full. In large measure with doing all that cooking. Sheesh!

A: Before I moved to Canada from UK, I thought the mid-day meal was "lunch" and the evening meal "dinner." I didn't even know that working-class people in UK called "dinner" "supper." The latter I thought of as a pre-bedtime snack. That ghastly N. American hybrid, "brunch," was a completely unheard-of word. When we had "tea," it was usually just that (perhaps a cucumber sandwich or biscuit [never a "cookie"], too), but never "high tea," which was considered working-class by some people. Canadians use both "dinner" and "supper," I think. Getting rid of these stupid class distinctions would be a help etymologically as well as socially!

A: I grew internationally since my parents travelled a lot. Literally, I was raised in European, American, Asian countries as well as remote islands; therefore depending on your lifestyle and culture:

*

*Breakfast = From 2:00am - 10:00am

*Coffee = From 4:00am - 10:00am (also a drink/beverage)

*Brunch = From  10:00am - 1:00pm (used mainly on weekends & social gatherings).

*Lunch = From 11:00am - 2:00pm

*Tea = From 2:00pm - 5:00pm (also a drink/beverage)

*Dinner = From 5:00pm - 10:00pm

*Supper = From 7:00pm - 12:00am

*Snack = (single food item between meals)

Meal terms also depending on what you had to eat & drink, as well as number of courses and who was coming or who you were speaking to social, economic & cultural setting.
Example: If mom had coffee, tea, cakes, cookies/biscuits "friends coming over at 10:00am be dressed"--she was having company over for Coffee. If it was at 3:00pm it was company for Tea.
If she had pancakes, eggs, bacon, coffee, tea, fruit punch at 10:00am, we were having Breakfast.
If breakfast also had rice, potatoes, meats, sandwiches & friends—she was serving Brunch.
If there were no breakfast items and only the soups, sandwiches or rice, potatoes, meats, we were having Lunch.
If the Lunch menu items was being served at 5:00pm—we were having Dinner. If it was lighter fare at 8:00pm with friends—she was having Supper.
If she handed you cookies/biscuits and milk when you came home from school—that was just a Snack.
You pretty much had to look at the date and time, look at the menu, see who was coming (or where you were going), and how you were dressed (formal, semi-formal, informal, casual).
Whew ... hope this helps.

A: In India, supper is rarely (if ever) used.

*

*Lunch – refers to the afternoon meal (somewhere between noon to 2 pm)

*Tea – refers to tea and snacks around evening time (4pm - 6pm)

*Dinner – refers to a meal at night (after evening, 7pm to 10 pm).

The size of the meal has little relation to the name. Though I'm sure that both Lunch and Dinner are fairly heavy. Tea is definitely only light snacks (a clear relic of the British rule).
Brunch is also increasingly used for a lazy combination of Breakfast and Lunch !

A: Where I live (SE-US), supper is more likely to connotate a quiet family meal, whereas dinner is just like lunch only later.  Supper seems to be preferred in more rural areas.
However, 30–40 years ago it was different.  People in my region called the meals "breakfast", "dinner", and "supper", in that order.  Later the Northerners brought their style of saying "breakfast", "lunch", "dinner", in that order.  This seems to me to explain why supper has survived in some rural areas, as those people would be in contact with the fewest number of people that speak differently.

A: Dinner is considered to be the "main" or largest meal of the day. Whether it takes place at noon or in the evening is mostly a cultural thing. For instance, many people who grew up in the American South and/or on farms traditionally ate larger meals at noontime to give them the strength to keep working through the afternoon.
Supper is more specifically a lighter evening meal. Rooted in the word "to sup", it comes, again, from farming traditions — many farming families would have a pot of soup cooking throughout the day, and would eat it in the evening — specifically, they would "sup" the soup.
Lunch is almost the midday equivalent of supper — it's also a lighter and less formal meal than Dinner, but is used specifically when referring to a midday meal. So whether you use lunch/dinner or dinner/supper is heavily determined by when your culture traditionally has its largest meal.
Much Later Edit: I happened across this article discussing the agricultural roots of midday dinner and evening supper, just to add a bit more to the conversation.

A: On the farm in Arkansas in the 1930's we had dinner at noon, which was our big meal which would be chicken and dumplings or fried chicken or pork or maybe rabbit, squirrel and sometimes beef if we didn't sell it.  For supper in the evening after we came in from the field about dark we would eat mostly beans and cornbread.

A: Supper is any meal had from 4 p.m. till late. And dinner can be seen as a special kind of supper that sometimes comes occasionally, a lot more food is served than at supper.

A: I grew up in the midwest—small town, rural area in the 1950's.  The meal in the morning was always breakfast.  The meal in the evening was always supper.  The mid-day meal was either lunch (a light meal, maybe a sandwich and soup) or dinner (large, like Sunday Dinner or Thanksgiving dinner).

A: I'm from New Zealand. In my experience, people in New Zealand generally use the following:

*

*breakfast = morning meal

*lunch = meal around noon

*tea (or dinner, less common) = evening meal

*supper = late evening snack

also:

*

*morning tea = drinks and snacks mid-morning

*afternoon tea = drinks and snacks in the afternoon

Morning tea and afternoon tea are also called "smoko" – particularly in more physical jobs, such as farming or construction.
I don't think "supper" is very common, but when I stayed in a hall of residence at university in 1996, they served "supper" at around 9pm. It was usually something like some hot tea/cocoa and a muffin or piece of cake. "Supper" sounds a bit old fashioned or formal to me – if I have a snack in the evening now I wouldn't call it "supper" – just a "snack".

A: Breakfast is a very early morning hot meal to start the day.
Brunch became known as a combination late breakfast/early lunch.
Lunch was solely the noonday meal.
Tea time is the same as coffee time served with cake or cookies in the late afternoon.
Supper is the main meal for a family at end of the day.
Dinner is a more formal term for the end of the day meal which usually includes the accompanying of friends, a date, business partners, or persons other than just family and usually included cocktails prior to the meal.
Cigars and Brandy is a time mostly for men after a dinner and is surely a southern term not used much at all anymore.

A: When I was a child in rural Southside Virginia (in the early 1940s), "dinner" was the main meal* of the day – usually midday during the week or mid-afternoon on Sunday.
* "Breakfast" might have been "larger" nutritional calorie-wise but "dinner" was more elaborate and varied from time to time.
In my travels (around this country and much of the world) and in my old age, I have come to agree with the "Humpty Dumpty" reference above.

A: From Maryland:  I've always understood DINNER as a large (in size and attendence), with a "main dish" (usually meat) with many accompanying sides, and possibly  a formal gathering, main evening meal; and SUPPER as a small, intimate among family "single pot" meal like soup, casserole, or pot pie.  Sometimes supper would come after an early dinner (like on holidays) and would be made from dinner leftovers.  Most days went breakfast–lunch–dinner, on weekends breakfast–dinner–supper, or breakfast–lunch–dinner–supper, or busy days out of the house might be breakfast–lunch–late supper.

A: To add some more to the subject, in 1900 the Republican Party(US) ran the campaign slogan "Four years more and the full dinner pail.'

Clearly a successful national party would not be referring to what we now call a "lunch box" as a "dinner pail" if there was no general understanding of what "dinner" meant.
This suggests to me that "lunch" had not yet arrived as the usual term for midday meal in the US. And, the campaign could not have been aimed at the agrarian South, as the Republican Party had little traction there; the South was still solidly Democratic. Also, this could not be a slogan to attract Western farmers, as farmers usually did not take their meals with them into the fields. The "dinner bell" must have been ringing for a lot of people outside agriculture at the time.

This weekend...63rd TEVIS CUP on the Western States Trail
There will be over 200 riders and over 1,000 volunteers on the Western States Trail this week. For safety, if you are not a participant, please stay off this trail.
This weekend of the full moon, the 63rd Tevis Cup (Western States 100 mile - 1 day endurance ride) will take place. This endurance event is considered the oldest, and the most difficult of all the U.S. endurance rides. Riders and their crews come from all over the world to compete and share in the experience of the amazing, unique Western States Trail.

Tahoe Donner Hike of the Month: Frog Lake Cliff/Euer Valley
To The Truckee Donner Land Trust is excited to announce its latest conservation project, the Campaign to Conserve Frog Lake, Red Mountain and the Carpenter Ridge.
While the property won't be open to the public for two years as the Land Trust and its partners raise the funds required to complete the transaction, you can enjoy the aerial view of this gem from above using the Warren Lake Trail. (But please don't go down to the Lake until we open it to the public in 2020).
The Warren Lake Trail starts at the Intersection of the Summit Lake Trail and the Donner Lake Rim Trail on Donner Summit, accessible by the Pacific Crest Trail or from the Castle Valley Trailhead. Parking is available at the Castle Peak exit off Highway 80. (This popular trailhead was protected from development in 2016 by The Trust for Public Land and the Truckee Donner Land Trust, allowing continued public access to the Pacific Crest Trail, Castle Peak, and the popular Hole in the Ground mountain biking trail.) A trail kiosk at the end of the paved road directs you to the Donner Lake Rim Trail. Follow the trail east behind the Donner Summit Rest Area toward Summit Lake. You'll encounter a well-signed intersection with the Warren Lake trail east of the Rest Area before Summit Lake.
From parking to Frog Lake Cliff via the Donner Lake Rim Trail and Warren Lake Trail is about three miles, gaining roughly 1,400 feet in elevation through mature mixed conifer forest replete with regular views east. A short unsigned spur trail to the top of Frog lake Cliff will be very evident at a high, open point. Follow that spur and your climb will be rewarded not only with sweeping views of Frog Lake more than 1,000 feet below, but also Euer Valley and the surrounding peaks.
For those looking for more mileage, continue another mile or two on the Warren Lake Trail north and into Castle Valley where the lupine, paintbrush, and other wildflowers are at their peak this time of year and the views of Castle and Basin Peaks from the East are impressive. Warren Lake itself is another 4 miles from the Frog Lake Cliffs viewpoint and includes a steep one mile descent to the lake itself.

8 Things You Didn't Know About BLM
One of nine bureaus under the Interior Department, the Bureau of Land Management's roots go back to America's founding. BLM was established on July 16, 1946, when the General Land Office and the U.S. Grazing Service were merged. More than 70 years later, it remains a small agency with a big job -- managing public lands for multiple-uses like recreation and natural resource development for the benefit of present and future generations.
1. BLM's predecessor helped homesteaders settle the American west.
2. BLM oversees 245 million surface acres of public lands for the American people.
3. BLM's oil and gas program is a boon for the U.S. economy.
4. BLM firefighters protect public lands, wildlife neighboring communities from the threat of wildfires.
5. Many BLM-managed public lands serve as outdoor laboratories, allowing students to discover the ancient world through real artifacts.
6. Awesome recreational activities abound on BLM-managed public lands.
7. Public lands power American homes and businesses.
8. BLM's grazing program helps support healthy range lands.
Region leads state in West Nile virus
West Nile virus activity is surging in Sacramento County, with the region now leading the state, officials say.
There is also greater and more localized activity this year compared to last year, said Luz Robles, public information officer for the Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District.
"Residents need to be vigilant, especially as we enter the hottest of the hottest weeks of the year," Robles said, explaining that heat advances the life cycles of mosquitoes.
West Nile Virus activity is defined by the number of dead birds and mosquito samples testing positive for the virus, Robles said. Sentinel chickens and horses testing positive would also be taken into consideration, but there have not been cases of either in California so far this year.
In the majority of cases, the disease is contracted from the bite of an infected mosquito.
Mosquitoes become carriers of the disease after feeding on infected birds, such as crows, ravens and finches, which act as hosts for the disease.
More mosquitoes flying around means a greater chance of getting bitten and a greater chance of contracting the virus.
Nine human cases in California have tested positive for the virus. Fresno and San Bernardino counties have reported one positive human case each, and Kern, Los Angeles and Riverside Counties have each reported two positive human cases.
The California West Nile virus website does show one human case in Sacramento County testing positive for the virus, but an official from Sacramento County clarified that the county believes this individual was infected with the virus in 2017 and only just tested this year.
Last week, 15 dead birds tested positive for West Nile virus – 14 of those birds were from Sacramento County. Most local activity is widespread, Robles said, but activity has been specifically identified in Land Park and Elk Grove.
A total number of 50 dead birds from 12 California counties have tested positive for the virus this year, with just over half of those birds collected from Sacramento County.
"Dead bird reports are very important because they are usually the first indication that the virus is active in an area," the westnile.ca.gov website states.
Locally, on July 11, 31 mosquito samples tested positive for the virus, reports the Mosquito and Vector Control District. These samples, which test from one to 50 mosquitoes at a time, were collected from Elk Grove and Sacramento parks and neighborhoods.
Recently, activity of the virus was identified in Yolo County, with a mosquito sample from Davis testing positive.
After receiving lab results from the Elk Grove mosquito samples showing positive results, the Mosquito and Vector Control District responded quickly, spraying parts of Elk Grove with a treatment aimed to reduce mosquito populations.
Residents can sign up to receive notifications about spraying activity within their ZIP code on the Mosquito and Vector Control District's website.
The district asks people who see a bird dead for less than 24 hours to report it online on the westnile.ca.gov website or by calling 877-968-2473.
Although most people infected with the disease don't show symptoms, about one in five people infected will develop a condition referred to as West Nile fever, with symptoms including headache, body aches, joint pains and fatigue, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The most severe cases – about 1 in every 150 cases – can be life-threatening.
Robles said people should avoid mosquito bites by using repellant, staying inside from dusk to dawn as much aspossible or wearing long sleeves and pants when outdoors during these times and draining all standing water, which acts as a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

Auburn SRA Plan proposals include American River Canyon bridges, campsites - comment until July 23
Trail bridges over the American River canyon at Greenwood and Auburn are part of a draft proposal opened up for discussion this summer by State Parks.So are plans for camping facilities on the El Dorado County side of the American River canyon across from Auburn.
And people have through July 23 to share their opinions on the new general plan being prepared for the Auburn State Recreation Area by answering an online questionnaire.
Park Superintendent Mike Howard said that the trail bridge and camping proposal has sparked concerns about increased fire danger, particularly from residents of areas in Auburn perched on the canyon rim.
Some of that concern has dissipated after residents learned that an alternative proposal for camping facilities at China Bar on the Auburn side of the American River had already been removed because of public input, Howard said.
That left some people to still express concerns about a bridge being built over the river and bringing more traffic onto the Auburn side. Howard said that environmental studies will be taking place through 2019 and one of the impacts to be looked at will be fire mitigation.
The Auburn-to-Cool bridge would mark a return of sorts to foot traffic below Auburn. A diversion tunnel for the American River was built as part of Auburn dam construction, allowing hikers, runners and horses to cross over the river from El Dorado County to Placer County. The river was daylighted a decade ago and the tunnel closed off but the Placer County Water Agency pledged $600,000 to help fund a bridge.
The second bridge being considered would be on the middle fork American River at the former Greenwood Bridge site. The Greenwood Bridge — then a vehicle crossing — was washed out when an upstream dam collapsed in 1964.
Plans for the Knickerbocker Flat area across the river from Auburn include up to 50 individual campsites.
"The river is clearly a natural fire break (to Auburn-area fire concerns)," Howard said.
A statewide goal of the Parks Department is to increase camping opportunities, he said. In all, the draft proposal is considering 245 more individual campsites and five group sites.
The online questionnaire can be accessed at opentownhall.com/6431

Discover Malakoff Diggins - a very special hike with Hank Meals
The Friends of North Bloomfield and Malakoff Diggins, in cooperation with the Sierra Gold Sector of California State Parks, will present a very special hike with Hank Meals on July 14, 2018. The hike is the latest in the Discover Malakoff! monthly events and activities initiated by the Friends of North Bloomfield & Malakoff. The intent of the Discover Malakoff! series is to bring new visitors to the remote state park throughout the entire year, and to ignite interest and support for the wide spectrum of resources and activities at the historic park, home to the still-standing "ghost town" of North Bloomfield, and site of the largest hydraulic mine in the country.When: Saturday July 14, 2018, 9 am-1 pm
Hike Description: From downtown North Bloomfield to the Diggins Trail and back is about a 3.5 to 4 mile loop trail in a unique environment. The Diggins Trail offers a good close look at the industrial landscape created by the Malakoff mine and to what degree nature is reclaiming the place. In addition to the fascinating history of the hydraulic mine, there is an artistic dimension in the fantastic pallet of colors in the exposed gravel banks. Our hike should last about three and a half hours.
Cost: Free for the tour; $10 state park day use fee
Transportation: Carpooling is encouraged. We will meet at the museum/park headquarters. Accessing the park from Highway 49 and Tyler Foote Road is recommended, as the shortest route via North Bloomfield Road is very rough, and unpaved from Edwards Crossing.
This free event is limited to 25 participants and requires pre-registration RSVP.
What to bring: Water (2 liters), sack lunch, hat, sunscreen, camera, shoes suitable for uneven ground and wet (muddy) crossings. Bring a small backpack for your food and water. Please leave your dogs at home for this event, since dogs are not permitted on this trail.
Event registration link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/discover-malakoff-diggins-hike-with-hank-meals-tickets-47469725226
Please do RSVP, and update, if you need to change your plans. We will maintain a wait list.

If you love a classic wooden, adventure style playground, that is EXACTLY what you will find at Quarries Park in Clifton Hill. Located just off the city end of the Eastern Freeway, this treasure is anything but little. A maze of boardwalks, plenty of swings, sand everywhere and one massive slippery dip! The park is great for a family bbq catch up, has heaps of green space to explore - although mindful of the snake warning signs - and some epic views of the city. The skate park is in walking distance too. A whole family winner of a park!
Mamma's special mention: Pack the hats and the sunscreen! There is very limited shady parts, unless of course if you are choosing to play in the cave like alcoves under the boardwalks!


It's a vase, utensil holder & wine cooler! Our most versatile product as you can see in the photos.
Our Stripe pattern is one of fine lines of color and a casual non repetitive motif . We use all our glaze colors in this pattern overlaying some to produce even more variations. The Stripe is a decorator's favorite that is fun and relaxing to produce.


Hearthfire may not have been the best DLC for Skyrim, but fans latched onto the base-building mechanics and loved their inclusion in Fallout 4. Many felt it was an integral part of the fun factor for the title, allowing you to stake a claim in the vast world Bethesda had created. The joy of buying furniture is soon coming to The Elder Scrolls Online with the "Homestead" update.
Slated for early 2017, Homestead will give players the chance to buy a home in ESO. Each house will be an instanced location, so there shouldn't be any fighting over plots of land. Players will have the ability to customize the house to their liking as well as invite their friends to tea.
There is going to be a wide range of items available for customization. Around 2,000 pieces of furniture will be include along with 40 different types of homes with styles ranging from elaborate manors to small cottages. Some of the home exteriors will be based on the different Elder Scrolls races.
As for pricing, most of the items will be purchasable with in-game currency. Some will require the premium currency, known as Crowns, but those seem to be relegated to ultra-luxurious items. When the update does officially launch, all players will be given a free home after completing a tutorial. You can own multiple plots of land, so you won't have to worry about selling your previous house.
This seems like a cool way to give players more stuff to do within The Elder Scrolls Online. I'm not sure that taking care of a house is what players truly want (as opposed to more quests), but I've always had a thing for virtual dollhouses. Something about wish fulfillment and all that.

Teaming up for the community
Monday December 12, 2022
Queen's students are helping a local organization reduce food insecurity and spread cheer this holiday season.
Queen's students and staff members recently filled a pickup truck to the brim with food and household staples and delivered them to Martha's Table, a local non-profit organization that addresses food insecurity in the Kingston community. The haul of more than 1,600 items and $1,700 in monetary donations had been collected through the annual donation drive organized by the Varsity Leadership Council (VLC), the committee comprised of and representing students involved in varsity athletics. Student-athletes from across all sports participated in collecting the items and were assisted along the way by the university and the broader Queen's community.
"One of the goals of VLC is to help build a strong relationship between students and the Kingston community, and our annual drive for Martha's Table is an important way for us to give back," says Miles Brackenbury, Co-President, VLC. "Working with Martha's Table, we identified the items most in need and focused on securing significant donations of non-perishable food items and household staples like toilet paper and laundry detergent. This initiative was truly a community effort, with student-athletes, coaches, staff, and the general student body working together for a good cause."
Queen's Athletics & Recreation (A&R) contributed to the donation drive by organizing a series of drop-in fitness classes that were free with a food bank donation. Staff members from A&R's Facilities team also supported the initiative by helping deliver the donations to Martha's Table.
Martha's Table provides community members in need with nutritious meals and a gathering space where they can find social support. It has been serving Kingston since 1997.
"This donation has become part of our holiday tradition," says Ronda Candy, Executive Director of Martha's Table. "We are always inspired by the students' efforts on behalf of the community. The donation is exceptionally large and really makes an impact in our food budget and meal-planning process. There are also always treats to give away, like cookies and chocolates, that our guests truly appreciate."
Some student-athletes also took the drive as an opportunity to spread holiday cheer. While out collecting donations, the Track and Field Team and the Cross Country Team sang carols for members of the Kingston community.
More outreach planned for the new year
VLC has plans for continuing to make an impact in the community in the new year as well.
"We look forward to continuing to build community partnerships into the second term, as we will be working with Pathways to Education to set up school visits from varsity teams, alongside additional fundraisers for local causes," says Brackenbury. "We are so grateful for all the community support we receive in our athletic endeavors, so giving back to the community is one way we express that gratitude."
Student impact on the community
This donation makes up part of Queen's social and economic impact on the Kingston community and surrounding area, which has been measured in a study conducted by Deloitte. That study found that Queen's students, faculty, and staff annually raise more than $1 million to support local causes. It also found that Queen's students work thousands of volunteer hours for local causes.
Learn more about the community and economic impact of Queen's students and read the full study on the Queen's Economic and Community Impact website.
Building Community Together
This story is part of an ongoing series highlighting how students across Queen's are building community together through meaningful volunteer and fundraising efforts.

This year the G12 students have decided to support The UWC Refugee Initiative.
Lack of access to education is a major issue affecting young refugees, internally displaced and persecuted people. They are five times more likely to be out of school than the rest of us. Refugee communities need future leaders with strong abilities, social consciousness and drive for peace and reconciliation.
This is why UWC launched the UWC Refugee Initiative, which aims to raise the funds for an additional 100 scholarships per year for refugee students.
Last year, our College community, came together to fully fund a two-year IB Refugee Scholarship. Palestinian refugee, Mahmoud, was overwhelmed to have been selected by the UWC National Committee for Palestinian Refugees in Lebanon. In mid-2017, he flew to Europe to begin his new life at UWC Mostar, in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
"UWC has expanded my knowledge and given me different perspectives on issues. It changed me to be more understanding and encouraged me to look at each side of the story. I feel more comfortable here since you have the chance to speak up whenever you want about anything—and your voice is being heard by everyone.
In 2016, two UWC alumnae and then staff at UWC International, Polly Akhurst (UWC Atlantic College'06) and Mia Eskelund Pedersen (UWC Mahindra College '07), began learning more about the tremendous gap in secondary education for young refugees while working on the UWC Refugee Initiative. During the global UWC Congress in October that year, they heard the UWC Syria National Committee's story of having to turn away more than 300 UWC scholarship applicants annually. With UWC educators, alumni, volunteers, and staff from around the world (including our own UWCSEA East Director of Teaching and Learning, Stuart MacAlpine), ideas evolved on how to address the secondary education needs of refugees.
The Sky School was born.
A blended model (online and offline) offers flexible access. One of the key principles for Sky School is that the learning be applicable in students' lives and communities, which gives them much greater agency and control in their life going forward. Pilot programmes have been trialled in Greece, Lebanon, Jordon, Hong Kong and Kenya. Now in launch phase, Sky School is a scalable initiative developing high school diploma programmes tailored to displaced youth around the world.

Thank you for supporting these two powerful changemaker initiatives to help refugees.

The Act requires businesses to disclose policies, plans and actions to address the issues of slavery and human trafficking in supply chains. The disclosures are intended to enable customers to make informed choices about the products and services they buy and companies they support.
Incisive Business Media Limited ('Incisive Media') is committed to maintaining and improving its supplier policies and processes to ensure that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in any part of our business or within our supply chains.
Incisive Media's Group companies publish a variety of print and digital B2B content and organise conferences and events to serve its target market.
In doing so, it relies on suppliers, who are scattered around the world. Key suppliers are those providing IT platforms to enable us to deliver our digital services, some of whom operate in countries in which the risk of forced labour is significantly greater than in the UK. It also organises events in various parts of the world which are dependent on third party providers of venues and facilities, each of which are further key suppliers. Their everyday operations are not necessarily conducted according to the moral and legal standards prevalent in the UK. This necessitates careful evaluation of such suppliers, which Incisive Media undertakes.
Supply Chain verification
Incisive Media undertakes informal supplier selection procedures across all of its activities. These policies and procedures include risk assessments with reference to slavery and human trafficking. A key element of our supplier selection is to ensure that rigorous and effective anti-slavery and human trafficking warranties and undertakings are in place throughout our contracts with third party suppliers.
Supplier Certification
Serious violations of our terms and conditions would lead to the termination of the business relationship Incisive Media enjoys with a supplier.
Internal Accountability
Our internal accountability standards and procedures help us to ensure that all our employees conduct business in an ethical manner. Incisive Media requires its staff to comply with the laws of the countries in which we operate and with all Incisive Media's policies, including employee handbooks and standard operating procedures. Infringement of the law or company policies is subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of the employment contract.
At Incisive Media, we believe that training is an important part of effective human rights practices. We have instituted a programme of training sessions for key staff on human trafficking and slavery, particularly on mitigating risks within supply chains.
Incisive Media invests in educating its staff to recognise the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains. Awareness of modern slavery issues is being communicated to staff both face-to-face and electronically.
Our employees are encouraged to identify, prevent and if necessary report potential slavery or human trafficking issues.
Board approval
This statement has been approved by the Board of Directors.

It is the last week of Plotober. With only a few days left in the month – and only a few days left before the great first-draft frenzy that is NaNoWriMo – I thought we should touch on something that can be immensely helpful as a guide during the writing process: the story outline.
A story outline is like a roadmap: It shows where you'd like to go and the path you plan to take to get there. Which highway do you take? Where do you turn off to get where you need to go? Since there are so many potential paths, it is easy to get lost – so it's nice to have an idea of where to go.
With that in mind, I've compiled a few things I've learned over the past few years that help when outlining.
Just like with character sketching, it is very helpful to start the plot outline by jotting down everything you already know. Sometimes it's the backstory for why the adventure needs to happen, or maybe it's that scene near the middle or the end that you really want to write. Or maybe you already have a good idea of the main story arc. Or maybe you know little details that you absolutely have to include, at some point. Whatever it is, note it down first thing.
From here, you can easily organize and rearrange what you already know and see if there are any gaps to fill in. So: Start with what you know, and fill in as you go along. It may sound obvious, but it is a great way to build the foundation of the plot and keep the creative engine going.
They say, "It's about the journey, not the destination." While I agree on a philosophical level, having a goal in mind from the start is helpful when you're working on a big project like writing a book!
No matter where you are in the plotting process, it is good to take some time and consider where you want the story to go. What sort of climax are you going for? What feelings do you want to invoke? Are there any key points you want the readers to take away from the story?
It isn't all about the literal ending of the book, either. Sometimes the destination is about conveying a certain theme or writing a certain type of story.
It can be as vague as, "I want to write a happy ending," "I want to write a really awesome adventure story," or "This is a story of redemption." Or it can be as detailed as knowing exactly what the critical choice is or how the final showdown between the hero and the villain plays out. Regardless, knowing what you want to achieve helps you find the right path to get there, so consider spending some time now to decide on your goal for the book.
Outlines are great, but they are not the book itself. Inevitably, new ideas and unexpected situations will crop up during the writing process. Allow yourself to go with the flow and explore them. This is the journey part of the road trip: Side trips keep things interesting. You might find something you never knew to look for. And you might end up with a better book because of it.
"But what if it doesn't fit with the rest of the book?" No problem, that's what editing is for. And short stories, and setting / character sketches, and Alternate Universe versions. And if nothing else, you'll gain experience points! So don't fear the tangent, just go with the flow.
Besides, there is nothing worse for a book than the writer getting bored. If you are bored writing it, the readers will be bored reading it. No exceptions. So if it helps you avoid boredom, it's a definite win.
If you are planning to attempt the great NaNoWriMo challenge, an outline is indispensable so you can dive right in on November 1st. And even if you aren't doing NaNo, an outline is a great way to gather your thoughts so you can tackle the first draft with confidence. I hope these three tips are helpful when you outline your next story!
Today's question for you: How do you outline your stories? Do you like making your plot outlines super-detailed, or do you hit the high points? Or do you think outlines are completely unnecessary and just dive into the meat of the story right away? I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Now, I think there are still a few things I want to say before Plotober ends, so check back on Wednesday. Hope to see you then!
I think these tips are very interesting and great to know. Well at least for me – sometimes it can be better to make a first rough plan in the beginning and concentrating on that, rather than just "throw your creative ideas around" (Nothings is wrong with that though haha 🙂 ). And I have to write down every idea and trying to make at least a little plan, otherwise I find myself working on to many different things at the same time (and nothings gets done) XD. But in fact I also enjoy "roaming" freely around – ah well River you know what I want to say rigth? ^^ Haha. Anyways but maybe thats just me, bigger projects are easier for me with "roadmaps" around!
I know exactly what you mean! It can be fun to throw ideas around (and that's often how I write short stories), but for a big project, a "roadmap" definitely helps keep me on track. Otherwise I forget things or end up with a completely different result than I wanted (which is fine too, just frustrating sometimes).
Thanks so much for commenting dear! Love hearing your experiences!

My best building - anything - years are way behind me

Compass and Clipper editor |
I am fascinated by construction projects, particularly tall buildings.
Around here, that typically means 20 to 30 stories. For instance, Dominion Tower holds the bragging rights in Norfolk at 26 floors. And somehow, at $1 per purchase, Dollar Tree is nearing completion of the highest in Chesapeake at 12 stories.
These buildings, like their ridiculously taller cousins in New York City, are engineering feats beyond my understanding. My handyman abilities extend to light-bulb changing, minor painting, and checking tire pressure. OK, some 35 years ago, with much guidance from a neighbor, I built a fence.
That brings me to today's history piece by Robert Hitchings on the area's log cabins. The country's hardy settlers used what they had, lots of trees.
It reminded me that in my childhood, there was a builder in me. I, like many baby boomers, had Lincoln Logs. With those interlocking brown wooden logs and green wooden roof slats, a kid could make anything from a log cabin mansion to a Flintstones-like vehicle.
According to current manufacturer K'NEX, the toy was invented by John Lloyd Wright, second son of the architect Frank Lloyd Wright, around 1916.
But my building prowess didn't stop there. I also had TinkerToys and multi-colored, multi-shaped wooden blocks.

The key to TinkerToys (1914), if you remember, was a small wooden spool with multiple holes in which to insert different length sticks. A kid could build satellite-like creations.
For a child whose grandparents and cousins lived in Suffolk, wooden blocks were ideal for recreating the old Louise Obici Hospital. It had a very step-down, symmetrical design.
I have to admit Erector Sets (1913) were a little too advanced. These all-metal building toys had too many moving parts for me, but a more skilled kid could erect skyscrapers with a working crane, or even build a Ferris wheel.
I don't know where all my childhood technical know-how went. But at least I wasn't playing computer games all day.

Dew's Ponds is a  biological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) south of Halesworth in Suffolk. It is a Special Area of Conservation.

This site has a variety of types of grassland, hedges and ditches, on chalk overlain by boulder clay. However, it has been designated an SSSI primarily because it has twelve ponds with one of the largest breeding populations of great crested newts in Britain. There are also grass snakes, smooth newts and slowworms.

The site is private land with no public access.

A local woman chose to celebrate her birthday by organising a charity Glitz and Glamour Black Tie Ball which went on to raise £8,200 for Saint Michael's Hospice.
Wendy Lill said she was overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of all the 180 guests who attended the event at the Cedar Court Hotel in Harrogate.
"I'd like to thank everyone who donated and helped to make the event such a great success," she said.
The event was sponsored by Howdens of Knaresborough and Nuffield Gym, Harrogate.
A raffle was held with all the prizes donated by businesses. Richard Waring auctioned several exciting lots, including a year's membership at the Nuffield Gym, golf for four at the Belfry and two tickets for the upcoming Liverpool v Tottenham Premier League football match.

Talk Back Theatre's Playwriting Prize
Happy December, everyone! We want to take a moment to thank you all for your love and support of Talk Back Theatre. This project has been an incredible experience, and it's been a joy working with artists to bring new stories to the stage and explore them as a community.
Talk Back Theatre is undergoing some major changes in 2020. Our Literary & Managing Director, Emily Anne Tkaczibson, has moved out of state, and costs associated with fairly paying the playwrights, directors, and actors who share their talents with our audience are rising. Because of these and and other reasons, Talk Back Theatre is saddened to announce that we will no longer be staging readings of plays and hosting post-show discussions in Orange County at this time.
But we aren't going away! Starting in January 2020, TBT will still be celebrating playwrights and highlighting social, political, and environmental issues by transitioning our bi-annual open call for staged readings into a quarterly playwriting prize. We'll share more details about the prize and our selection process in January, but each quarterly call will seek plays centered on specific timely topics. The winning play's writer will receive a cash prize, along with an endorsement from TBT on New Play Exchange (and/or for use on personal websites).
We hope you will continue to follow TBT as we grow in this new direction, and we still need your support! If you are feeling generous this Giving Tuesday, please visit talkbacktheatre.org/donate/ to support our work. We thank you again for engaging with us and with each other on the issues that matter -- it's more important than ever.

Avoid non-essential travel
Avoid non-essential travel to Dhaka and the Chittagong Hill Tracts region due to the threat of terrorism and uncertain security situation.
Exercise increased caution
Exercise increased caution elsewhere in Bangladesh due to the threat of terrorism and uncertain security situation.
View Larger Map Close/Open map
There is an ongoing threat of terrorism in Bangladesh. There have been a number of deadly attacks since 2015, including fatal attacks targeting foreigners.
Significant attacks include:
- On 24 March 2017, a suicide bombing occurred at a checkpoint near Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka.
- On 1 July 2016, gunmen attacked a cafe in Dhaka's Gulshan 2 district killing 22 people, including 17 foreigners. Reports suggest the attack deliberately targeted foreign nationals.
In response to these attacks, the state's security presence has increased, which has led to a reduction in the number of terrorist incidents. However, further attacks in public places and targeting foreigners are possible. Terrorist groups, including the Islamic State of Iraq (ISIL) and Al Qaeda in the Indian Sub-continent (AQIS), have claimed responsibility for previous attacks and continue to make threats to conduct further attacks in Bangladesh, including against foreigners. Other targets have included religious minority groups, secular activists, academics and members of the LGBTI community.
Authorities have successfully disrupted a number of planned attacks and remain on high alert. There may be an increase in security presence and restrictions on movement may be put in place at short notice.
New Zealanders throughout Bangladesh are advised to be vigilant at all times, particularly in public places and stay informed of potential risks to safety and security by monitoring the media and other local information sources. You should follow any advice or instructions issued by the local authorities, take official warnings seriously. We recommend exercising caution around potential attack targets such as locations where foreign nationals gather such as hotels, bars, restaurants, nightclubs, markets, shopping malls, conference centres, educational facilities, places of worship, government buildings, embassies and public transport hubs. If you are in an area involved in an attack, leave as soon as it is safe to do so.
Nationwide strikes (hartals), demonstrations, and localised industrial disputes have occurred frequently in recent years. This civil unrest often escalates into violence, causing deaths, injuries and significant property damage. Strikes can be highly disruptive and involve the shutdown of all activity, including commerce and communications, within a given area. Transport networks may be blockaded and essential supplies, such as fuel, can be difficult to get.
Small-scale improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and firearms have been used by some protestors in the past and hartals are frequently accompanied by violence targeting public transport or private vehicles moving on roads in the affected area. We recommend avoiding unnecessary travel during these periods and exercising a heightened degree of vigilance.
Bangladesh has experienced periods of political unrest in the past. The political situation in Bangladesh is stable but deep-seated political hostilities remain. There have been periodic protests and clashes related to domestic political developments and further unrest and hartals are possible. On 29 July 2018 two schoolchildren were killed by a speeding bus in Dhaka, resulting in significant protests, which turned violent at times. The majority of violent civil unrest in Bangladesh occurs in response to domestic political developments. Dates of national significance may be a focus for protesters and have attracted violence in the past.
New Zealanders are advised to be vigilant and avoid all political demonstrations, rallies and large public gatherings as they could turn violent with little warning. Plan your movements carefully, including exit strategies in case violence erupts. We recommend following local media for updates.
Chittagong Hill Tracts region
New Zealanders should be particularly vigilant in the Chittagong Hill tracts region. Politically motivated and ethnic violence is an issue in the region and there are regular reports of violent crime. In particular, travellers should be alert to the threat of kidnapping and armed robbery in remote areas. If you do plan on travelling there despite our advice, the Bangladesh authorities require 10 days notice to provide prior approval for travel.
Violent crimes such as armed robbery and assault (including sexual assault) occur in Bangladesh. Petty crime, including pickpocketing and snatch and grab attacks are also common and often target those travelling in rickshaws, CNGs (motorised rickshaws), taxis and other forms of public transport.
Crime is more prevalent at night, particularly in Dhaka. New Zealanders are advised to avoid walking or travelling alone, or taking public transportation, particularly after dark. Only use registered taxis. As victims of robbery are often targeted due to their perceived wealth, it is advisable to avoid wearing or displaying items that appear valuable, such as electronic devices, cameras and jewellery. No resistance should be given if you are the victim of a robbery as this could lead to an escalation in violence.
Piracy is a problem in and around Bangladeshi waters. Mariners are advised to take appropriate precautionary measures in these waters. For more information view the International Maritime Bureau's piracy report.
General Travel Advice
New Zealanders are advised to respect religious, social and cultural traditions in Bangladesh to avoid offending local sensitivities. Modesty and discretion should be exercised in both dress and behaviour.
Penalties for possession, use or trafficking of illegal drugs are severe and can include lengthy imprisonment or fines.
Photography of government offices, airports, military establishments or officials, official residences or demonstrations is prohibited, and could result in arrest and detention. If in doubt, don't take a picture.
Authorities may ask for proof of your identity, and there are several security checkpoints, so carry a photocopy of your passport and visa for Bangladesh at all times.
New Zealanders travelling or resident in Bangladesh should have a comprehensive travel insurance policy that includes provision for medical evacuation by air.
New Zealanders in Bangladesh are strongly encouraged to register their details with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
