barti, one of the things this site attempts to promote is good practice done by sysadmins. Having no knowledge of what rules are being used is not a good practice.
One of things you may learn is that rulesets are specific to the network topology in which they are used. Even if someone wanted to do your work for you, without knowledge of the specifics of your network arrangement, they aren't going to get far. |
the links are the sources of my example posts
I need only basic pf file.
One web server connected to the internet. -SSH -HTTP Nothing more. Thanks. |
Oh, how apt this is. I have posted this before, but barti has not seen it.
--- I quote from Peter Hansteen's Book of PF, No Starch Press, ISBN: 978-1-59327-274-6. As posted in Hansteen's Firewalling with OpenBSD's PF packet filter. Code:
Just to hammer this in, please repeat after me The Pledge of the Network Admin This is my network. It is mine or technically my employer's, it is my responsibility and I care for it with all my heart there are many other networks a lot like mine, but none are just like it.

Clone Wars and TOR Icon Pack
Mar 29, 2013 Sprites 3 commentsThis pack contains over 196 icons, all Clone Wars and The Old Repubic, including, Darth Malgus, Satele Shan, Jace Maclom, and the Sith Emperor. The Clone...
The Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance continue to clash across the galaxy, while a new enemy to both sides begins to build thier armies and fleets in the region of the galaxy known as Wild Space, IG-88A's Droid Empire.
Play as the Galactic Empire, Rebel Alliance, or the new Droid Empire.
Decide the Galaxy's Fate: Freedom, Oppression, or Annhilation!
"It happened in an instant, thousands of ships dropping out of hyperspace. Lucrehulks, Munificents Frigates, Wavecrest Frigates, Dreadnaught Cruisers, Aggressor Destroyers, more ships then we had guarding Coruscant. And at the center of this entire fleet was the Droid fleet flagship, the IG-4000, IG-88A's personal ship, a star dreadnaught that's power rivaled that of the Executor. They overwhelmed the outer defenses and surge forward towards the Capital. The Golan Defense Platforms didn't even make a dent in their fleet. They were nothing more than bantha fodder for the Droids. As I looked on from the bridge of the Chimera I could see them all. Hundreds, thousands of them, maybe even millions, Vultures swarming over the planetscape of Coruscant. From what I heard from refugees who escaped Coruscant, in some places their numbers darkened the skies over the planet. The droids used the Vultures as kamikaze weapons to overwhelm the planetary shields. When the shields fell, debris from the space battle raging above, begun to rain down onto the planet. But before any large chunks could reach the planet's atmosphere, the Droid's destroyed them. It was obvious they wanted as much of the city intact as possible. The only thing they didn't care to keep intact were the people.
As you can guess, the entire battle brought up memories of the Clone Wars and the Battle of Coruscant. The only difference was those droids were mostly lead by non-droid generals, commanders, and admirals. These were lead by droids originally designed as assassins, killing machines!
Sometime later I discovered why Vader hadn't personally lead the attack against the Droid Empire's armada. It was because he and the Emperor had fled the planet, later claiming it was the decision of the Emperor advisor's to relocate the Emperor for his protection. I still wonder if that was the reason."

Changes I've made for next version of Super Star Wars.
I've raised the population value of Capitals, Super Capitals, and the large Frigates. The Eclipse changed to 25, Executors are 16, Dauntless-class is 9, Home One-class, Aggressor-class and Lucrehulks are 10, Kedalbe-class is 8, and MC80 Liberty-class, Imperial I and II Star Destroyers are 7. Venator and Victory-class Star Destroyers are 5, Alliance Assault Frigates, Dreadnought Cruisers, Munificent Frigates, and Gladiator SDs are changed to 4. Fighters, Bombers, Corvettes, and other Frigates have the same population value. I've also changed the population value for the Death Stars. In Galaxy view the Death Stars have a Pop Value of 250, while in actual space battles they have a pop value of 30. This will leave you with a Pop Cap of 25 after bringing in a Death Star.
Changes to income - I lowered the credit income for most of the planets. A lot of the planets had a income of 200 to 300 credits, I lowered them back down so most are anywhere from 30 to 190 credits. I made they too high in the first version. Also I limited economic structures so some can only be built on certain planets and you can now only build one mining facility per planet.
Asteroid Mining Facilities can only be built on Endor, Polis Massa, Hoth, Mustafar, Dagobah, Utapau, Alzoc III, Vergesso Asteroids, Tatooine, Geonosis, Atzerri, Fondor, Thyferra, NalHutta, Honoghr, Kessel, Alaris Prime, Sarapin, Byss, Fresia, Myrkr, Wayland, Polus, Ilum, Dathomir, Yaga Minor, Yavin, and Jabiim.
Trade Ports can only be built on Mustafar, Sullust, Utapau, Tatooine, Geonosis, Atzerri, Fondor, Thyferra, NalHutta, Alaris Prime, Byss, Fresia, Polus, Yaga Minor, Jabiim, Kashyyyk, Trandosha, MonCalimari, Mandalore, Felucia, Taris, Imdaar, Muunilinst, Yaga Minor, Dantooine, Bonadan, Coruscant, Carida, Anaxes, Ralltiir, Corulag, Rendili, Manaan, Denon, Balmorra, Kuat, Corellia, Bestine, Abregado Rae, Duro, Bothawui, Naboo, Eriadu, Bespin, Kamino, Rothana, and Ryloth.
Mining Facilities can only be built Yavin, Alzoc III, Trandosha, Mustafar, Despayre, Imdaar, Polis Massa, Alaris Prime, Abregado Rae, Aeten II, Bespin, Bonadan, Eriadu, Felucia, Fondor, Geonosis, Hoth, Hypori, Ilum, Jabiim, Kessel, Mandalore, Muunilinst, Myrkr, Nal Hutta, Polus, and Ryloth.
Changed the Build Cost of the Eclipse to 74,000 and only one can be built now. Executor-class SSDs changed to 62,000 credits and only the Hero varaints can be built. I removed the non-hero SSDs. PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME TO CHANGED TO THE COST OF THE SSDs TO A HIGHER COST. THIS IS THE FINAL COST AND WILL NOT BE CHANGED. ANY COMMETS SAYING TO MAKE THEM COST MORE WILL BE DELETED!
I've added a new hero to the mod, Mand'alor Fenn Shysa, who is part of the Pirate Faction. He only appears on Mandalore. I added Mandalorian units to the Pirates so I could use them as a parital Mandalorian faction.
As you already know the Rebellion can built the Lusankya if they control Thyferra. The Lusankya is actually more powerful than a Imperial Executor-class and has lasercannons for use against starfighters. Also with control of Kuat, they can also build a Mandator Dreadnaught.
I hate to do it, but I'll be removing the Bothan, Mon Cal, Twi'lek Rebel soldiers, since I couldn't fix the problem with them not firing.
The Rebel Soldiers and Stormtroopers back to squads and are no longer individual units. I added some extra garrison slots to the transports and bunkers. Gallofree HTTs have 14 garrison slots, The Juggernaut has 16 slots and all bunkers can now garrison up to seven squads or heroes, changed from five.
I removed the Dominator SD and Vindicator Cruiser from the mod, I didn't like the models I used for them and because the Vindicator isn't needed. I will mostly likey get a different model for the Dominator.
The Empire can no longer build Procurator Battlecruisers and Mandator Dreadnaughts. I'm considering removing the Procurators from the game.
Each of Death Squadron's Star Destroyers can now be built, but only if the Accuser is in orbit of a Capital ship planet. So the Executor no longer spawns these, but it still has two Interdictor Cruisers.
In Skirmish, most have already seen the Research Ships and defense stations. These were used since there was so many new units. This stations are kinda like the shipyards found in Z's FOC mod. The only difference is they deploy onto the map instead of being already there. Also to answer a question most have asked, the reason starfighters and bombers disappear at higher starbase levels is cause at that level you'll have Liberator Cruisers, Gladiator SDs, MC80s and ISDs, which can spawn those squadrons. Remember this isn't like the original game where most of the ships, mostly the rebels, don't have fighter bays. Plus you might want those 5 extra unit population that used for those X-wings and Y-wings to bring out one extra capital ship you really needed.
Even with that second starbase, there still isn't enough room for all those ships so I've added shipyard upgrades for unlocking those extra starships. They include for the Rebels, Corellian Engineering Corp, Mon Cal Shipyards, SoroSuub, and Kuat Drive Yards, for the Empire it's Sienar Fleet Systems and Kuat Drive Yards.
A few new planets.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office could have better evidence for a case against Chris Brown than a picture of Rihanna's injuries: Rihanna's own words!
After their alleged fight on February 8, Rihanna supposedly told the Los Angeles Police Department that Chris' abuse had become "more violent" over time, TMZ.com reports.
LAPD detective notes from a search warrant give a blow-by-blow account of what happened in the car that night. They state that the couple began fighting after Rihanna saw a three-page text message from another woman.
During the argument, Chris allegedly tried to push RiRi out of the car and shoved her head against the passenger side window while he was driving. Then he repeatedly punched her in the face when she turned to face him.
Rihanna claims he threatened her by saying "I'm going to beat the **** out of you when we get home. You wait and see."
That's enough evidence for the L.A. County D.A. to file felony domestic battery charges against Chris, which could happen as early as today.
That's not all! According to TMZ, police snapped some more pictures of Rihanna's injuries on the day after the alleged fight, February 9. They said the pictures show worse injuries than the one originally leaked because the bruises and swelling are more apparent.

Letter | I-90 tolling idea is ill-conceived
February 5, 2013 · 1:04 PM
A tip of the hat to Cynthia Moller (MI Reporter letter to editor, Jan. 30, 2013).
'Right on' on all counts, Cynthia, and furthermore perhaps those who are selling us down the drain should be fired or recalled.
Any CEO who made a billion and half dollar error would be dismissed on the spot; another inept performance by state government to grossly misjudge the loss of traffic on 520. Or was this "overlooked" to get 520 underway and ask for forgiveness later?
There is a second very serious issue that has statewide/national economic impact. I-90 is a "shipping lane," not just transportation, to Eastside upscale residences, and a land link from the Port of Seattle to the Midwest and East Coast for goods.
The Port of Seattle is challenged by the loss of shipping to Prince Rupert, British Columbia (closer to major ports in Asia) and Tacoma.
Why? Those ports have rail travel and direct off-loading to trains, whereas the Port of Seattle only has truck access and old outmoded cranes. To compensate for lost shipping to these other ports, the port just recently "gave away the farm" to keep Hanjin (a major shipper).
The port has been a major critic of Hansen's new sports arena due to additional traffic hindering trucks.
Now we want to add tolls to the extended "shipping lane" of I-90. They must be rubbing their hands in glee in Prince Rupert and Tacoma.
The idea of tolling I-90 is so ill-conceived, it is beyond imagination.
False representation to the residents and businesses of Mercer Island — a total disregard for keeping the Port of Seattle viable and operating, and understanding that I-90 is a vital shipping lane for goods and services.
Tolling I-90 will have an irreversible negative impact on all concerned with this vital "shipping and transportation lane."

SAFETY ALERT: If you are in danger, please use a safer computer, or call 911, your local hotline, or the U.S. National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 and TTY 1-800-787-3224. See more technology safety tips here. There is always a computer trail, but you can leave this site quickly.
A free training for OVW grantees and other providers of domestic violence services for Latina survivors of Domestic Violence, including immigrant women.
There is broad recognition within the domestic violence movement that the lack of financial independence is a major barrier that contributes to keeping many victims/survivors in violent and abusive relationships. Acquiring financial knowledge can be a key step for the survival of many victims and their children.
Through this training, participants will have the opportunity to:
Alianza will be conducting one more Financial Independence for DV Survivors, probably in early fall. Once we get the location approved by OVW, we will post the location & dates, and open up the registration.
The 28-minute video, produced by Alianza and Arnold Trujillo (A Trujillo Production), features several survivors who were able to break away from violent and abusive relationships and are now living financially independent lives that are free of violence. The women have wonderful lessons and knowledge that will inspire not only victims of domestic violence, but also other women who want to make a better life. They not only tell us about the enormous challenges they faced and had to overcome, but they talk about the strength, support, and opportunities that helped them on their journeys to rebuild their lives and become successful business owners.
The video, accompanies a train-the-trainer curriculum produced as part of Alianza's Financial Independence for Survivors of Domestic Violence Training Project.
With the Latino population continuing to increase at record rates and to settle in new regions of the country, the needs, barriers and challenges related to domestic violence continue to grow and require focused attention. Alianza, with its history of developing resources and providing training, technical assistance, and leadership to OVW grantees, DV providers and community-based organizations (CBOs) across the country, is in an ideal position to address these needs and concerns.
As part of its training & technical assistance services, Alianza organizes national conferences and trainings that help service providers and advocates who work with Latinas/os enhance their knowledge and skills. At this time Alianza is offering the following trainings:
All trainings are offered free of charge and are funded by the Department of Justice/Office on Violence Against Women.
Alianza's Working with Men and Boys to End Domestic Violence national training, held October 17 and 18 in Albuquerque, NM, was definitely not your "typical" domestic violence training. "This has honestly been the best training I have ever attended," shared one trainee. "It has provided me with the opportunity to bring my beliefs and culture into my everyday work." Another stated: "Awesome training. Speakers are very knowledgeable and engaging. Interaction and methods of training are understandable, heart-felt, and relative to the culture and population of our area."
The training was a profoundly moving and, at times, a gut-wrenching experience for both trainers and trainees, who traveled from various parts of the country. The powerful dramatizations by Jerry Tello, of personal experiences with his familia- abuelita, dad, mom, children, and grandchildren-kept participants' attention riveted throughout both days.
More than 100 women, men, and youth marched through the streets of Washington Heights, the South Bronx, Harlem and East Harlem, on September 26, 2012, to remember Gladys Ricart, Jessica Ibe, her 2 young daughters, and numerous other women and children who have been killed in domestic violence incidents. The march aims to raise awareness about the devastating effects of domestic violence on Latinas/os and other families and communities. As the many posters carried by the marchers show, the march also serves to let communities know that services and resources are available to help them. Help is also available for men who want to change their violent behavior.
Many of the women in the march wore wedding gowns (in memory of Gladys Ricart who was killed on her wedding day in September 1999) and the men dressed in black as a symbol of mourning. The marchers included members of the Ricart and Ibe families, survivors, advocates, elected officials, union organizers, and many supporters from the community. This year, because school was out, many children joined the march.
Violence against women and girls is one of the most widespread violations of human rights. It can include physical, sexual, psychological and economic abuse, and it cuts across boundaries of age, race, culture, wealth and geography. It takes place in the home, on the streets, in schools, the workplace, in farm fields, refugee camps, during conflicts and crises and has many manifestations - from the most universally prevalent forms of domestic and sexual violence, to abuse during pregnancy, so-called honor killings and other types of femicide. Countries have made some progress in addressing violence against women and girls. According to the UN Secretary-General's 2006 In-Depth Study on All Forms of Violence against Women, 89 countries had some legislation on domestic violence, and a growing number of countries had instituted national plans of action.
While significant progress has been made, in recent decades, in raising awareness about the devastating effects of domestic violence, and many lives have been protected and saved, domestic violence continues at epidemic proportions. It continues to tear families apart regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion, or economic background, leaving in its path physically, emotionally, and spiritually injured women, men, and children.
According to a report published by the Centers for Disease Control in February 2008 (Adverse Health Conditions and Health Risk Behaviors Associated with Intimate Partner Violence, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) one in four women is abused by a current or former spouse, partner or boyfriend at some point in her life. Another study by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics (Intimate Partner Violence in the United States) says that on average more than three women a day, in the United States, are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends.
"Sabores of My Cocina: A Collection of 275 Latino-Inspired Recipes" submitted from all over the country by DV and child abuse advocates, state domestic violence coalitions, celebrities, and others.

The first time we made a fire engine cake, I had the pleasure of visiting the local downtown San Jose Fire Department. Sergio gave me a tour, showing off the different trucks, letting me take a ton of pictures, and even posing for his own photo shoot. Well, OK, he was really too cool to let me take too many of him, but I know a few friends of mine that would love to imagine spending an afternoon with a fireman. Let them think that slipping on my shoes for a moment, they'd have a great view and could just stay there dreaming.
Michelle is the proud daughter of a retired Driver Engineer for the Santa Clara Fire Department. She was so excited to honor her father with this homage to the many years he served wearing this helmet. That's right, he was one of those men in uniform fighting the good fight. Please try to contain your excitement, ladies. He's also someone's daddy. Or does that even melt your heart, too? Hmmm…

I'm surprised this thread even exists.

I'm surprised this thread even exists.
He's asking for fake difficulty in a game which doesn't need it.
How difficult is this game anyways?
The OP's suggestion would be nice. I doubt it'll happen, though.
...And this'll be so ironic if The Last Story truly is Sakaguchi's final game.
-Zero, Proud member of the OG N64 Crew!
Lets just say even on hard the game is really really easy, the live system was pretty much unneeded, no need to grind ever, even when the enemies were ten levels higher then me, it was still easy. The AI can be pretty dumb too, just run from them hide behind cover and most of the time they'll stop targeting you, easy back stab right there. Which by the way takes a chunk of their health. To get really any challenge use the Main character only, suggestion once you unlock hard, use only the MC.
sakaguchi come home, back to sony
btw, if the game is "easy" then thats up my alley, really hate frustrating games
You know, I can't speak for everyone but a good game, to me, doesn't necessarily depend on how difficult it is. I tend to be able to enjoy games more when it's not overly difficult/frustrating. Also, I don't see how Sakaguchi is "stooping low" just because the difficulty of his game didn't personally suit you. I'm viewing TLS with the idea that it's like an experimental project from Sakaguchi. Perhaps he'll increase the difficulty level and/or have difficulty options the next time he makes another action-type jrpg.

PSN: omgfloofy | Backloggery: omgfloofy | Steam: omgfloofy - I am detecting a pattern here...
I'm not saying having an easy game is a bad thing, but it is a flaw when even on hard you get barely any challenge. Yes it was an experiment by Sakaguchi, but that does not mean he and his games are not above criticism. Besides I'm not saying I don't recommend buying it, I do, I still call it a good game.

Ever since we moved to Lancaster County, we've done the traditional PA Dutch New Year dinner of pork, sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. After over a dozen years, I've gotten it down pat - okay, I've gotten my crockpot down pat!Does anyone else have a traditional dinner?

I will be releasing few more volumes in the future, because this game is buggy beyond comprehension, and it's basically impossible to show all of the bugs, but I picked out the craziest ones.

BIXON presents PROSUMER (resident at panorama bar berlin)
Having recently made the move to Edinburgh, it could never have been to soon to have him back behind the decks of our party. This is going to be special; Sneaky Pete's provides us one of the most intimate stages in the city and a true opportunity to all participate fully.
With releases on the likes of Osgut Ton and Playhouse there is automatic pigeon-holing of his high standards and particular sound. However – 'Prosumer' is really only something you can experience in a live setting, where you can truly value his devotion to music.
His artist name stems from Alvin Toffler's significant science-fiction book The Third Wave, which also inspired Juan Atkins to call his music "techno" and fuses "producer" and "consumer" into one.
In reality, that's what Prosumer does. He produces and consumes house music. Being the essence of his creative work, he deals with it in a way that is traditional, honest, up-front and most of all very personal. There are no limitations; stereotypes lose their bearing and the supposedly very rigid formula of house music, suddenly bears new prospects. Of course, the base is rock-solid: Detroit, Chicago and New York are the cities that shaped his sound since he started playing records in the late nineties.
Live fast, die young, Ride girls do it well. Donx and Chekkita grind fresh dance against r'n'b guilty pleasures and generally get down.

WE OWN presents ADANA TWINS
This Hamburg duo have been storming the charts with releases on Exploited over the past year, topping the poles of Beatport and Resident Advisor respectively. Their 'Juicy Fruit' hit last year plunged the deep house faithfuls into the limelight, gaining them support across the board, from DJs of all genres.
The unexpected success of their 'Everday EP' in February 2012 resulted in a huge tour schedule, a bunch of new remixes and masses of press attention. Aside from their hectic worldwide touring schedule, the guys were recently hosted on Pete Tong's Radio One and have just remixed tracks for Tiger Stripes, Ilves & Migiva, Viadrina and Kasper Bjoerke.
Amine Edge & DANCE, NTFO, La Fleur and Andre Crom & Martin Dawson recently delivered new mixes for the guys and their next Exploited release is in progress.

SHOOTING STANSFIELD, Titus Pullo, Waterday
Fans of Frightened Rabbit and Admiral Fallow would be urged to check this up and coming band out".
Edinburgh 4-piece indie folk band Shooting Stansfield introduce their warm, emotive sound with their thematic new EP We Know Not What We Do.
Shooting Stansfield are Stewart Douglas (guitar, vocals), Stephen Whipp (lead guitar, backing vocals), Craig Robertson (bass, backing vocals) and David Steel (drums and percussion).
The band recognises influences from indie and contemporary folk music, drawing on bands from Frightened Rabbit, Meursault and Admiral Fallow to Twighlight Sad and Biffy Clyro.
"a free-flowing display of pure songwriting"
"Littered with tracks that stick in your head"
An offshoot of established Edinburgh-based band Death Trap City, Titus Pullo began as a solo project for singer/songwriter Craig Robson to explore a more intimate, acoustic vibe which resulted in the release of the Acoustic #1 EP in Feb 2012.
Spurred on by the positive feedback Titus Pullo set about working on new tracks which combined the best elements of the intimate, acoustic feel, delivered with an anthemic sound.
In September 2012, the group released their debut EP 'Growing Out of Adulthood' to great success. The launch was well received with nearly one hundred copies being sold in the first night. They have recently been successful to be included in Amazing Radio's Scotland's Greatest Album 2012. Whether it's the catchy melodies, high paced rhythms or lively performances, the band are set for a bright future.
Original Manga crew G*Mac and Believe take on all genres of bass and emerge sweaty but victorious.

State of the Union - President Barack Obama's 2013 State of the Union address comes at a time
when gun control, immigration reform and federal spending limits
are center stage. Capital Public Radio National News Reporter Matt
Laslo was there and he joins us with a recap of the event. Plus,
we'll get reaction to the President's address from two
Sacramento-area lawmakers. Democratic Congressman
Ami Bera represents California's 7th District, centered in
eastern Sacramento County, and Republican Congressman Tom McClintock, who represents
California's 4th District, covering parts of the Central Valley and
the Sierra Nevada.

Radio's resident wine expert (and occasional guest host) Rick Kushman
joins us for a special Valentine's Day installment of Kushman by

with your romantic dinner, even if that means bringing a bottle to
the restaurant. As always, you can expect to hear Rick's wine
recommendations as well.
"Kind of Blue" - Sacramento jazz drummer Tim
Metz loves Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" and started thinking about a
concert where all of the album's songs would be played in order. He
decided to run with the idea and recruited some of the best
musicians he could hope to play with. Joe Gilman, Mike McMullen,
Tom Peron, David O'Keefe and the great Jeff Clayton answered the
call and the supergroup will take on "Kind of Blue" at JB's Lounge as part of the
Sunday Night Jazz Series. We'll talk with Metz about his love "Kind
of Blue" and also with Vivian Lee, a jazz artist who coordinates
the weekly jazz series.
"Kind of Blue" will be performed at 5 and 6:45 p.m. Sunday,
Feb. 17 at JB's Lounge, 1401 Arden Way, Sacramento.

Due to the tube strike in my first tour I left a lot of stones unturned in my hunt for a decent cupcake. So once again as Mark headed to Londinium for some serious work (so he says…but it looks a lot like playing with toys to me! – PS, Mark is not actually in this video but I have it on good authority that he was there) I tagged along, armed with my notebook, annotated maps and good comfy shoes. A lot of the places I planned to visit this time didn't make the first list due to the fact that they often weren't within walking distance of anything else and required semi-long tube journeys to get to. This in mind, I set off early with one rule – only one cupcake per bakery.
First on the list was the Buttercup Cake Shop. This is a really sweet little shop not far from the High Street Kensington tube station with a good selection of cupcake flavours including some unusual ones. I had to choose the limited edition chocolate marshmallow cupcake not just because of the cute heart piped on the smooth frosting but because I'm a sucker for anything I only get one chance to try. Close second, though was the passionfruit cupcake with its whipped cloud of pale orange frosting. Only at the first bakery and already my "one cupcake" rule is sorely tested!
As I wanted to start early, I did a bad thing and skipped breakfast. Or at least, it's normally a bad thing to skip breakfast. In this case it gave me to opportunity to duck into a branch of ottolenghi and pick up a berry crumble muffin.
The berries in question were HUGE and delicious!
Suitably refreshed it was back to the underground and off to my next destination – Outsider Tart. However, on my way there I unexpectedly passed by a branch of Maison Blanc and even though it wasn't on my list, not being a cupcake specialist, the pistachio cupcakes in the window looked good enough to try. Unfortunately the picture I snapped of them on display is just an indistinct blur so on to the outside of Outsider Tart.
This little shop is packed full of mad cookies, brownies and one that was a cookie with a brownie baked into it…or vice versa, it was hard to tell… as well as a few imported american products such as breakfast cereals and fluff in a jar. Unfortunately, I got there so early there were only two chocolate cupcakes sitting alone on a large stand. "I know," commiserated the shop assistant, "they look so lonely waiting for their friends to come out of the oven!". Still, at least this made my choice of flavours easy!
The next stop on my tour should have included three bakeries before getting back into the stuffy (but marvelously useful!) tube, however I was somewhat disappointed to find that the Euphorium Bakery (or at least that branch) does not do cupcakes at all and that, after a fourty-five minute search which ended in a small row of tiny industrial units which smelled tantalisingly of baking chocolate chip cookies but had no attached shopfronts, signs or doorbells, I had either been misled by the website into thinking that Sweet Things had an actual shop in the area or I had managed to get myself completely lost . Either way, the trip on the northern line was not a total loss thanks to Chewie's Bakery where I found a small but nicely presented range of cupcakes to choose from. I selected a chocolate cupcake topped with chocolate frosting and coconut and headed back to the underground a little more footsore and a little less laden than I had intended.
Back in familiar territory I headed for topshop at Oxford Circus. Anyone who knows me well may be shocked by this announcement unless they also knew that Lola's Cucpakes has a kiosk there on the ground floor. Last time I was in London I thought I had picked up one of Lola's cupcakes from Harrods but it turned out to be a Lily Vanilli creation. This time I was dedicated to getting the real thing. Strangely located right in the middle of the bustling high street fashion store is a cute little kiosk selling cute little cupcakes. The cupcake of the month was black forest and looked ever so special with a fresh cherry perched on top.
From Oxford Circus I took the familiar walk into soho and stopped to collect cupcakes at two old favourites. I know that cupcakes from both these bakeries were reviewed last time but they both have such extensive ranges that it couldn't hurt to try them again, right? First, to the Hummingbird Bakery to pick up a vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting.
Then to Cox, Cookies and Cake for a raspberry ripple.
By this point I was hungry and a little weary but it was lunchtime in soho and pouring with rain. The queue for Leon Caranaby Street was out the door and it was too wet to peruse the menus in chinatown so it was a mad dash to the Candy Cafe for a taro bubble tea and a comfy seat. Thus fortified, and the downpour passed, I carried on despite my cravings for savoury food. I had a few errands in chinatown – soot sprites, tofu and pocky – and then it was on to Sweet Couture, a beautiful boutique shop between chinatown and Covent Garden and just round the corner from CyberCandy, to pick up a peanut butter cupcake.
All my primary objectives complete I was now free to source a very late lunch from Leon on the strand. Mmmm, Slow-cooked shredded pork wrap and lemon, ginger and mint quencher.
Despite my concerns about all the travel to and from remote bakeries, I actually concluded my cupcake tour with time to spare before my scheduled meeting with Mark and Richard so spent some time shopping leisurely before being drawn into the tiny "Jen Cafe" on the Leicester Square edge of chinatown by the woman making dumplings by hand in the window and the promise of a warm cup of green tea. I was rewarded for my curiosity by a plate of the best fried dumplings I have ever had!
Watch this space for the first in a two part review of the cakes!
