It's a great time to #showup for Bristol Academy – their next five matches are Home games, including this Monday's clash against Manchester City at 7:45pm at the Stoke Gifford Stadium.
Of course, the run of home matches is not the only reason to get behind Bristol Academy. Finishing runners-up in the FA Women's Super League last season, the Vixens have had a more difficult time this season, currently sitting second from bottom in league 1 table.
The run of home matches with an army of fans out in support could help change the Vixens' fortunes.
"Our set of fans is one of the best in the league and our pitch is one of the best in the league too," said midfielder Sophie Ingle.
"That allows us to get it down and play. So we love home games and are relishing this run we've got.
"City have brought in a few new players since we last met. They probably still have the same game plan, hitting it forwards to Toni Duggan, but if we can erase that we'll have a good chance."
Meanwhile City manager Nick Cushing is hopeful that his side will take the match, having eight wins out of their last ten competitions.
"Bristol are a very, very good team. But so are Birmingham, Chelsea and the other teams in this league. We don't differentiate between them," he said.
"Bristol are a strong side, so we have to make sure we do our preparation properly and concentrate on how we're going to play.
"What's helping us now is we're getting clean sheets. We've got an unbelievable goalkeeper and a very, very good back four."
To #showup and support the Vixens, visit the Bristol Academy Women website where you can buy tickets.

We go against the grain to create a better burger. Our burgers are made from 100% grass-fed beef. Why grass-fed? Well, for starters, it tastes better.
Cows are meant to eat grass, not grain, and happier herds produce healthier, great tasting beef that's higher in Omega-3 Fatty Acids and vitamin E. Our grass-fed beef is also free of artificial hormones, antibiotics and other things that don't belong in burgers.
And, our delicious burgers aren't just better for you, they're better for the planet. Grass-fed beef takes half as much fossil fuel to produce as grain-fed beef. That's because a field of grass gets its energy from the sun, the ultimate renewable resource. So get your hands on a brgr. And go against the grain.
brgr's list of toppings doesn't stop with classics like American cheese, tomatoes and onions. Guests can build their own burger with toppings such as Roquefort, Gruyere, cheddar, bacon, Haas avocado or herb mayonnaise.
We also offer sweet potato fries, onion hay and Russet potato fries.
We make milkshakes from high quality milk that contains no hormones, antibiotics or additives. We won the 2007 Best of New York award from New York Magazine for the best milkshake in New York City.

Help Me Out!
I changed my mind about the colour again and thought I wanted the black instead (as you do), the tan were just a little darker than I expected (although true to what they look like on the website right enough). So I haven't yet returned the shoes. Then both pairs were reduced to £24, so that made it easy, I'd get the black size 5's. However I then received a £15 gift voucher to use at ASOS. I considered getting both pairs (2x£24=£48-10%=£43.20-£15=£28.20) so that would make a super bargain as it's just a little over what I paid for one pair. I thought that it was maybe a little extreme though considering I have no money and one pair would only cost £6.60, so that seemed like the logical route. The voucher didn't come through until late at night, so I decided I would sleep on it and order in the morning (there were still plenty of all sizes in both colours), plus there were Curve sales clothes that were out of stock, that I was hoping would be in stock when I decided to order the shoes.
Imagine my extreme pissed off-ness the next day when I check the site and the sale price had increased; black £38 and tan £36! The black had only been reduced to £24 for a day, absolutely ridiculous! I know they said it was 'the last few days of the sale', but honestly who raises sale prices? It's old season stock, you just don't do that.
So now what do I do? My options are:
* to return the shoes and get a full refund-I'm so pissed with ASOS right now this seems like a good option (although it may be cutting off my nose to spite my face considering I actually like the shoes, but it's the principle of the thing!). Plus I wouldn't get to use my 10% off and £15...the voucher will keep but the code will run out...
*to return the shoes for an exchange and I'm guessing it would have to be in the tan considering the price difference (so it's not really my 1st choice) and would they let me exchange something I bought at £24 that's now £36? Well, they'll have to, it's not my fault the price increased is it? I have no idea how it would work if I asked for the black...they'd ask to charge me more I would think. Means I don't get to use my 10% or £15 on this transaction though.
*return the shoes for a refund and reorder the correct size/colour with the 10% off and £15 (black £19.20, tan £17.40), good prices but I grudge paying it when I know I could've had them for £6.60!
*much like the first option, return the shoes for a refund and leave repurchasing for now. Hope they once again reduce them to £24, there's still lots left so it is possible they'll want rid of them but when will that be? My 10% off will certainly run out before then. What to do, what to do?
I have to add I've been extremely disappointed with ASOS over the past few months. I have been a customer of theirs right since the website launched and have always praised them, especially their customer service which I considered to be the best around. Since this whole weather debacle though, they can't commit to replying to emails in time, Premier customers are paying for a service they can't use and their standards have really slipped, which makes me sad. I can't believe how a bout of severe weather can totally damage a companies reputation. Anyway, help me out, what do you think? Had any purchases annoyingly reduced or increased yourself?

I feel the same about asos premier, paying for nothing really! And all the items in my saved items say price has increased since saving, think it's to do with v.a.t as well? xxReplyDelete
It's so annoying isn't it? I've been fighting with them all week in emails about the waste of money renewing my Premier and I hate seeing all those 'price has increased' bits in my basket : (ReplyDelete
Oh yeah that's so weird what Asos do with the prices! They're seriously the only webshop that I've seen doing that!ReplyDelete
Till then is the code valid? I'd probably send them back for a re-fund and then wait till the last moment the code is valid to see if the price will drop again. But as Asos have been so shit with the premier they should give you a 20% off voucher anyway, lousy Asos. I haven't ordered from them in ages, they just don't seem to have anything I like...
I ordered the Charli clogs btw! It was a totally panic-buy lol!
I decided to get the natural colour, but that I'd get them at the end of the month when I'd have some more money...so obviously the stalking had begun ;) but then a day later I went to check and they weren't on the site at all anymore!! I was totally pissed off because they're a colour from SS10 so you can't get them anywhere...but then I noticed they were still sitting in my basket from the day before so I just ordered them expecting to receieve a email that they didn't have them...but then I received a mail that said they were shipped! Happy times!! I'm quite curious though...seems weird to me, so I won't believe it till I have them on my feet haha
They were total shit at helping me with sizing though...argh I hate stupid American sizing conversions! I ended up ordering a 7 like I always do in American shoes...just hope they don't send me a 37 like it says in their conversion chart. Although their email did say the shoes had American sizes on the soles so if that's true I'll be alright :)
Good luck with making up your mind about the shoes!
If money is really tight and you aren't entirely sold on the tan, send them back for a refund.ReplyDelete
It's a shame their customer service is so shoddy nowadays. I hardly ever shop with them myself but I don't tend to hear complaints from others.
I've noticed strange things about Asos prices as well. Those 'price has increased' bits in my saved list, so annoying!! I have taken advantage once or twice from those 'one day reduced prices' cases, but it doesn't compensate for increasing sales prices!!ReplyDelete
It's so strange that this price issue seems to not be happenning on the french asos website (the one I use) !! :/ReplyDelete
I'd go for a refund, too.
BTW Princess :), have you ever considered ordering from http://www.shoesofprey.com/ ?
I think that if i were you, i'd return them and leave it and monitor to see if the prices go down a bit?ReplyDelete
They haven't been as good recently as they used to be..
I say get a complete refund and save the gift card for when something really good comes up, discount codes come up all the time for asos so that one's not so big a deal I think. :)ReplyDelete
- Anonymous27 May 2011 at 13:57
What did you do in the end? I'm after the Tan colour in a size 6, so if you still have them but don't want them I would buy them off you! : )ReplyDelete
Wowee your comments cheer me up!
Unfortunately I've had to disable anonymous comments for now, due to a high volume of spam.

21 Entries for "perch"
The bird preched on the window seal, unaware of what was occuring between the few inches of glass seperating them. It was a bright, sunny day outside. Fluffy white clouds floated above heads
The messenger was perched atop a small tree that grew sheepishly from scattered patches of snow, its branches curving perfectly to form a natural love seat for anyone wishing to roost. She was wearing and a green coat and black gloves, and I could see a glint of silver as she allowed two very expensive-looking dice to dance around in her palm.
She watched it fly off into the sky until it disappeared behind the trees of her neighbor's backyard. She imagined it building its own home one day in one of those trees as she walked inside.
Atop the tree, the was light. Radiance, a star, beauty. Nobody saw, they were too preoccupied with the road cone, garish and orange, just below the perch.
The bird perched on the window sill. It was free, unlike me, who was trapped in this prison of lies and secrets. The royal court was a battle field and I was a wounded soldier.
I perched on the hill. thinking of you. but what else can you be. but a bird. trying to eat me. gah! I'm a worm. fuck. don't eat me bird. No! It can't understand coherent speech nor do I have the anatomy to speak. Nor do I have the mind to think such though…guh guh ….lub lub…ech
you are a bird
sticking your beak
in others' lives
immersing yourself
in their wonders and woes
yet still perched far away
And again the bird looks at me with hopeful eyes. And I stare into its soul with sorrow. What do you see that I don't? What makes you fly even after being so comfortably perched on that branch?
I stare at it with gloomily. It returns the same, yet with hopeful eyes. It strikes me how it still wishes to fly, even after being so comfortably perched on that branch.
a bird sits on her perch
morning dew glistens her mother's feathers
gold orange sun illuminate plumes
of a sitting duck below
A fish you can sit on. A bird high above the world surveys everything below. A swing that takes people all the way up into the clouds, but then the momentum coming back down wraps them all the way around the frame.

The Perks to Selecting a Condo
One of the many benefits you will discover if you select condos available for sale over other properties is basically that you need not worry about any exterior maintenance. When buying home, you have to keep a budget aside for those unexpected external emergencies, for instance a damaged roof, a tree that falls down inside your garden as well as your exterior walls being damaged.

You'll be able to lock your front door and head off to get a fortnight understanding that everything will continue to be safe indoors and also you do not have to worry that someone may try break in if you are away.
Of course condominiums include the added benefit of the host of amenities and facilities. The majority of these complexes offer the actual of a secure and go property which has a communal swimming pool and even perhaps a gym, with regards to the complex. A few will come with laundry. With one of these added amenities get ready to experience all the conveniences of the home while wearing your personal space which is modern, lavish and finished for the top quality.
Condos on the market have been in the reduced price range. They may be costlier than an apartment, but they're usually over a par with a single family house, based on where you buy and the area. Obviously location is vital so if you are looking for luxury and convenience in the prestigious area, you will discover that condos available for sale workout cheaper than the homes from the vicinity. This can help you get your foot to the property ladder in a exclusive area, providing you a great roi in the end.

Snapshots from the Strait of Gibraltar: Digital Transcriptions of Culture, Architecture, and Religion
A brochure for the program (with additional details) can be found here
Course Overview:
From the Alhambra Palace to the ancient medina of Fez, flamenco dancing to Arabic calligraphy, this interim explores the unique aspects of the region stretching from Southern Spain to Morocco – through the lens of our cameras. After lessons in digital photography and pre-trip orientation, we'll take off for two weeks of exploration, creating travel blogs to reflect on the experience.
We'll spend our first week in southern Spain, based in the Plaza Santa Ana — at the center of Granada. With an eye toward the Islamic history and influence in the region, we'll tour the Alhambra palace, take day trips to Albayzin and Sacramonte, visit the famous mosque of Cordoba, and take a bike tour of Seville. We'll then wind our way to Morocco after touring the Rock of Gibraltar, crossing the Strait by ferry, and landing in Tangier. Our Moroccan explorations will be based in Rabat (the capital city), and from there we'll explore Moroccan culture via its ancient architecture, a class in calligraphy, a henna demonstration, and visits to numerous important cultural sites.
The through-line for the course will be digital photography and intercultural writing, and students need not have sophisticated equipment to participate.
Sampling of Site Visits and Activities in Spain and Morocco:
Granada, Spain
- Alhambra Fortress – A UNESCO World Heritage site, the Alhambra "is Granada's – and Europe's – love letter to Moorish culture, a place where fountains trickle, leaves rustle, and ancient spirits seem to mysteriously linger. Part palace, part fort, part World Heritage site, part lesson in medieval architecture, the Alhambra has long enchanted a never-ending line of expectant visitors. As a historic monument, it is unlikely it will ever be surpassed." (From Lonely Planet)
- Albayzin and Sacromonte – We'll take a guided tour of these areas of Granada. Albayzin comprises the Arab quarter and the medieval Medina, and Sacramonte offers views of indescribable beauty (including the cave houses that adorn the area). On our tour, we'll pay particular attention to the urban structure of the old Muslim city, its transformation into a Christian space, and recent Orientalized idealizations.
- Cordoba – on this day trip, we'll visit the Great Mosque – one of the oldest standing structures from the time Muslims ruled Al-Andalus. We'll also take a walking tour of the city.
- Seville – We'll take a day trip to Seville, where we'll visit the Cathedral – the largest Gothic cathedral in the world, and another UNESCO World Heritage site. We'll also take a bike tour of the city.
- Flamenco – we'll be treated to an evening flamenco performance – a vibrant style of dance connected with the Andalusian region. We'll have dinner alongside the performance.
The British overseas territory occupying a scant 2.6 square miles, Gibraltar is nonetheless a major landmark and important territory for global history. "First settled by the Moors in the Middle Ages and later ruled by Spain, the outpost was ceded to the British in 1713. Layers of fortifications include the remains of a 14th-century Moorish Castle and the 18th century Great Siege Tunnels, which were expanded in WWII" (from Google Maps). Known primarily for the Rock of Gibraltar, it is also home to 30,000 Gibraltarians and Europe's only population of wild monkeys (the Barbary Macaques that occupy the nature reserve at the top of the Rock).
Rabat, Morocco
- Hassan Tower and Mausoleum of Mohammed V – "two of Morocco's most mystical places: one is an incomplete project of majestic proportions and the other stands as a masterpiece of modern Moroccan architecture, holding inside the grand tombs of past kings. Wander through the ruins of columns and enter the ornamental grandeur that is the exquisite mausoleum to discover a part of Moroccan history that will forever remain incomplete."
- Calligraphy class – "Calligraphy is the most highly regarded and most fundamental element of Islamic art… [I]nherent within the Arabic script is the potential for developing a variety of ornamental forms. The employment of calligraphy as ornament had a definite aesthetic appeal but often also included an underlying talismanic component."
- Henna demonstration – "Some view Henna only as a bodily adornment or an alternative to a permanent tattoo, but in Morocco, the role of Henna transcends that of beauty. In harmony with the Berber's belief in Baraka (good luck), Henna worn on the body offers protection against illness, the evileye, and brings joy."
Fez, Meknes, and Volubilis
We'll take a two day, one night trip to these locations and visit sites such as:
- University of al-Qarawiyyin – "the oldest existing, continually operating and the first degree awarding educational institution in the world according to UNESCO and Guinness World Records[5][6] and is sometimes referred to as the oldest university.[7] The Al Quaraouiyine mosque-religious school / college was founded by Fatima al-Fihri in 859 with an associated school, or madrasa, which subsequently became one of the leading spiritual and educational centers of the historic Muslim world. It was incorporated into Morocco's modern state university system in 1963."
- Fez Medina – "Fes is the fourth largest city in Morocco and also known as one of the ancient imperial cities). It is separated into three parts, Fès el Bali (the old, walled city), Fès -Jdid (new Fes, home of the Mellah), and the Ville Nouvelle (the French-created, newest section of Fes. The Medina of Fes el Bali is believed to be the largest contiguous car-free urban area in the world. To enter the medina, you will pass through the Bab Bou Jeloud Gate, with its decoration of blue and green faience."
- Meknes – "Often referred to as the Versailles of Morocco, Meknès is located between the fertile plain of Rharb and the Middle Atlas. The historical importance of Meknes is reflected in its grand Moorish buildings and in Meknes' close relationship with Volubilis, a nearby city known as the most important archeologicalsite in Morocco."
- Volubilis – is a partly excavated Berber and Roman city in Morocco situated near the city of Meknes, and commonly considered as the ancient capital of the kingdom of Mauretania. The UNESCO World Heritage Site "contains essentially Roman vestiges of a fortified municipium built on a commanding site at the foot of the Jebel Zerhoun. Covering an area of 42 hectares, it is of outstanding importance demonstrating urban development and Romanisation at the frontiers of the Roman Empire and the graphic illustration of the interface between the Roman and indigenous cultures."

Wind-chimes are a powerful tool in Feng-Shui, used as cures against negative energies in afflicted zones or as enhancers of good energies throughout. They should be hanged in the corner of a room, by the wall. Despite a common belief, windchimes should never be hanged in the doorways, arch-ways and windows. And of course, there's a certain type of a wind-chime for every zone.
In Feng-Shui, any space – be it a house, 1 room in a house or even a desk – can be divided into zones according to compass direction. Each of these compass zones are associated with an element.Here's how: North with Water, North East with Earth, East with Wood, South East with Wood, South with Fire, South West with Earth, West with Metal, North West with Metal.
Tubes of a wind-chime should always be hollow. Solid rods have no effect for Feng-Shui. Reason being that a wind-chime works a transmitter of sorts that attracts Chi inside of itself transforming it through sound from negative bearing energy to positive.
As wind-chimes are symbolic, the material a chime is made of, like wood or metal, matters, as well as the number of tubes is important for the anticipated result in a particular zone.
Therefore, to use wind-chimes efficiently, here are a couple things to keep in mind.
For cure of an afflicted zone and protection,
in the East and South East – hang a metal wind-chime
in the Noth East and South West – hand a wooden chime
in the North – hand a ceramic wind-chime
In the West and North West use light, like adding lamps or higher voltage light bulbs to combat the afflicted zones, instead of wind-chimes.
To enhance the good energy of a zone,
In the East and South East – hang a wooden chime
in the North East and South West – hang a ceramic chime
in the West and North West – hang a metal chime.
Also, note the number of rods in a wind-chime.
For cures, to transform bad energy into good Chi, always use a 5-rod chime made of material corresponding to the element of the zone you want to "fix".
However, if you want to enhance a certain corner, follow this rule:
2-rod chime to enhance a South West corner
3 rods for the East
4 rods for South East
6 rods for North West
7 rods for the West
8 rods for North East
9 rods in the South
Symbolic meanings of wind-chimes as a cure for a particular affliction is often displayed in an image or statuette above the rods. For instance, wind-chimes with a Wu Lou enhance good health, metal chimes are often adorned with coins and gold ingots for wealth and so on.
Do you have wind-chimes around your home?

Metal Gobot
Use Metal Gobot when you want to use the individual Gobot packages yourself to have the greatest control, or to more easily integrate Gobot functionality into your existing Golang programs.
Let's revisit the "Blink" code example from the "Getting Started" page, written using "Metal Gobot" style:
Metal Blink
package main import ( "gobot.io/x/gobot/drivers/gpio" "gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/intel-iot/edison" "time" ) func main() { e := edison.NewAdaptor() e.Connect() led := gpio.NewLedDriver(e, "13") led.Start() for { led.Toggle() time.Sleep(1000 * time.Millisecond) } }
This is a nice simple example. You
Connect() the Adaptor, you
Start() the Driver, and away you go.
Here is a slightly more sophsticated example that uses Metal Gobot along with an Event channel:
Metal Button
package main import ( "fmt" "gobot.io/x/gobot/drivers/gpio" "gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/intel-iot/edison" ) func main() { e := edison.NewAdaptor() e.Connect() led := gpio.NewLedDriver(e, "13") led.Start() led.Off() button := gpio.NewButtonDriver(e, "5") button.Start() buttonEvents := button.Subscribe() for { select { case event := <-buttonEvents: fmt.Println("Event:", event.Name, event.Data) if event.Name == gpio.ButtonPush { led.Toggle() } } } }
How to use Metal Gobot
When using Metal Gobot you need to make calls directly to Adaptors and/or Drivers yourself.
You will need to call
Connect() on each Adaptor yourself. Likewise, you will need to call
Start() on each Driver.
Once this is done, you can then use the Adaptors and Drivers directly however you wish.

Defendant Willie Mitchell, 46, was convicted of aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary.
On January 29, 2015, a man received a phone call from an unknown person posing as MLGW worker inquiring about reconnecting utilities. Shortly after the call, the man answered a knock on the door. The person outside the door identified himself as an MLGW worker there to check the water pressure. The victim's girlfriend opened the door to find two male assailants; one masked individual later identified as Mitchell and one unknown individual armed with a shotgun. The men forced their way into the home making demands of the victim, his girlfriend and one other woman.
Mitchell and his accomplice tied the women up. The victim fought with the masked man, knocking the mask off his face. The victim then recognized the man as Willie Mitchell. While they struggled on the floor, Mitchell ordered the unknown gunman to take the victim's wallet. After they took the wallet containing $2,000, both Mitchell and the gunman fled the scene.
Mitchell was later arrested and admitted to the robbery.
Mitchell, who has nine prior convictions for aggravated robbery and two prior aggravated kidnapping convictions, faces a mandatory 30 years at 100% on the aggravated robbery conviction. He faces 15 years for aggravated burglary when he is sentenced by Judge Lee Coffee in October.
The trial this week was handled by Asst. Dist. Attys. Stacy McEndree of the DA's Special Prosecutions Unit (SPU).
The DA's SPU seeks the maximum sentences under the law for repeat offenders.

After a good night's rest, we took the train that connects the five cities along the Italian coast to the southern most town of Riomaggiore. This morning the temperature was perfect, but we had more cloud cover with only occasional breaks of sunshine. Our painters set up our easels to capture this beautiful view of the colorful town and their ocean overlook while the photographers and tourists checked out the town and surroundings.
When we had finished painting and exploring and eaten a delicious seafood lunch, we caught the scenic boat ride back to Vernazza, enjoying the ocean view of each town and its colorful architecture perched along the coast way.

|"U.S. Civil War and Reconstruction," Richard Bland College
|No votes.
During the civil war and reconstruction era, the slave industry was beneficial to the south's economy. Slavery was the most successful industry in the United States when even over the booming railroad industry. The main cause of the civil war is slavery because of its importance to the south. The south threatened and eventually left the union due to abolishing slavery. Abolishing slavery within the states would affect the each state economy. The states that had a larger population of slaves would be more affected if slavery was to ever be abolished. The state of Virginia held the most slaves throughout the south, nearly five hundred thousand slaves.
By 1861, Slavery in the south was understood as the reasoning behind the cause of the civil war and secession. Since the state of Virginia held most the enslaved population in America, the state played a vital role in the possible secede. Voters at the Virginia Convention who lived in greater enslaved population voted on more supporters for the secession. Voters who lived in smaller enslaved population did not vote as much to support the idea of secession. Lewis E. Harvie discussed the secession by representing Amelia and Nottoway County, two counties that held seventy percent of their population in slavery.
The picture above showed the slave population distribution in Virginia in 1860 based on the state's population. The map features the list of counties in Virginia and its population of whites, slaves, and a number of slaves in the county. It also shows Virginia western counties that are now part of West Virginia which were insignificant in slave population. It also showed the percentage of the slave population in Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains. Most of these counties plantations held more than fifty slaves. The Shenandoah Valley and the Appalachians had fewer due to the geography and environmental disadvantages that discouraged plantations.The map shows the reality of the mass population of slavery within Virginia.
The southern state's economy depended on slave labor, it continued through the civil war to the thirteenth Amendment in 1865. The eastern part of Virginia, an agriculture-based economy, had the highest percentage of slaves. The mountain area in Western Virginia depended more on an industrial industry, had a fewer population in slaves. Slavery in Virginia was vital to Civil War and Reconstruction era, due to its majority of the slave population.

A true discovery of the Scottish Highlands by train
Travel to the heart of the Scottish Highlands and take in the marvellous lochs and glens as you travel by vintage steam train on the superb West Highland Line and cruise Loch Lomond.
Your Tour Manager greets you in Glasgow, then the rest of the day is free for you to explore.
Straddling the River Clyde, the sprawling metropolis of Glasgow is one of Europe's most popular destinations. It is a lively centre of vitality and style, complemented by the backdrop of its rich history and outstanding Victorian architecture. The city's beginnings can be traced back to ancient times, when it was first settled as a ford on the river. After its cathedral was established, Glasgow was granted a 'burgh' status, meaning it was awarded certain trading monopolies.
Travelling between Glasgow, Oban, Fort William, and Mallaig, the West Highland Line covers some of the most beautiful areas of Scotland. As you leave beautiful Glasgow, become immersed in the wild and windswept panorama of the Scottish Highlands.
On arrival, transfer to the Best Western Crianlarich Hotel where you enjoy dinner. Crianlarich is a village in Perthshire, whose name is derived from the Gaelic for 'low pass' because of its location in a glen surrounded by several mountains. The villagers call their village the 'gateway to the Highlands'. Crianlarich boasts a beautiful walking and cycling trail, and stunning views of Ben More, one of the highest hills in the area. Replete with grassy hills and serene walks, the village is an ideal retreat for travellers.
This morning travel to Tarbet for a cruise on majestic Loch Lomond - Britain's largest inland body of water. This freshwater Scottish loch is located at the border of Central Scotland and the Highlands. Its home to many fresh water fish and the surrounding hills play host to a huge array of birds, Loch Lomond, much like Loch Ness, is often used as iconic depiction of picturesque Scotland and has obviously been lauded for generations, being mention in old Scottish folk songs. It is surrounded by the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.
Afterwards, you stop at Inveraray, a town on the western shore of Loch Fyne. Why not explore the magnificent castle or visit Inveraray Jail while you're here? Inveraray Castle's unique architecture incorporates Baroque, Palladian, and Gothic styles. It is said that in 1744 the castle was fully demolished and reconstructed by the then Duke and the end product was not a traditional Scottish castle but more of a Georgian mansion on a grand scale. Queen Victoria had visited the castle in 1874.
Inveraray Jail is a 19th century prison and courthouse that is now a 'living museum' recreating the history of the era. You have the chance to interact with costumed characters, watch courtroom trials, talk to 'prisoners', witness cell life, sample the punishments, and browse the prison artefacts before you make your escape.
Today, transfer to Oban for the ferry to Craignure, on the Isle of Mull. On arrival, make a visit to Duart Castle, the ancestral home of the Maclean Clan. Enjoy a guided tour of the imposing estate, built on the end of a peninsula jutting into the Sound of the Mull, before returning to Oban for some free time. Oban derives its name from Gaelic and means 'little bay', and the town boasts some dramatic beaches, as well as one of the oldest distilleries, and a factory for homemade chocolatiers. There are beautiful castles close by, as well as McCaigs Tower on Battery Hill overlooking Oban.
Join the Jacobite Steam Train* today for a magnificent journey on the final leg of the West Highland Line. Hailed as one of the great railway journeys of the world, the service began operating in 1984 as a tourist attraction. One of the most iconic landmarks to look out for is the Glenfinnan Viaduct, an incredible feat of engineering that was opened in 1901. Most famous for being featured in the 'Harry Potter' films, the viaduct stretches over some truly impressive views that cement the West Highland Line as one of the most scenic lines in the world, The Jacobite travels from Fort William to Mallaig, passing lochs, rivers, mountains, silvery beaches, and beautiful villages along the way. On arrival in Mallaig, a quintessential Highland port town, why not try the catch of the day?
*Steam-hauled when possible. Some departures will make this journey on Scotrail's diesel service.
Head back along the West Highland Line to Glasgow, where your tour ends. You are free to explore Glasgow on your own or depart at your leisure.
Please note that while every departure of this tour features the same excursions, they may not necessarily be in the order listed above.
On many of our UK & Ireland tours, you may check in at the first hotel on your itinerary anytime after 14:00; your Tour Manager will be available between 16:00 and 18:00. However, if you are arriving later, you can meet your Tour Manager before dinner from 19:00.

Animal Rights Militia
Animal Rights Militia (ARM) is a name used by a fringe group of animal rights activists who engage in
terrorism "direct action" and "physical confrontation" with people whom they claim (not necessarily unreasonably) are involved in animal torture, with the purpose of saving animals. Like the Animal Liberation Front, from which it likely splintered, it is a leaderless resistance movement and consists of autonomous small cells acting independently. Its tactics include sending letter bombs,[1] committing arson,[2] blackmailing, and threatening mass assassination,[3] which is viewed as "terrorism" by most reasonable people. They also fail to notice that their actions are, in themselves, torturing animals—said animals being members of the species homo sapiens. As such, they are guilty of the very thing they are trying to stop.
In an interesting combination of fundamentalist ideologies, jailed ARM letterbomber Glynn Harding told police the he had reached an agreement with Jesus that in exchange for mailing 100 bombs, Harding's stillborn child would be allowed to enter heaven.[1]

An investigation is being carried out to identify why a giant bookshelf fell over at a Waterstones store. The giant bookshelf which housed gifts, stationery and cards fell over at the Waterstones Cheltenham store. It fell over just before the store opened and luckily there were no injuries.
Waterstones central press office said, "A bookcase in our Cheltenham shop fell over before opening hours this morning and, thankfully, nobody was hurt."
"We are, of course, looking into the reasons for this and the incident has been reported to our Health and Safety team."
While health and safety in shops is essential, the risks in the activities, premises, staff and customers have often been considered as low. However, our experience of retail activities suggest that any busy location, combined with constant interfaces between customers, staff and contractors, can impose high risk issues.
On this occasion the bookshelf fell when the shop was closed meaning that there were no injuries however this could have been a different story.
If you are a retailer that needs help with your health and safety we can help. We tailor our health and safety service to meet your business's individual needs.

Summer means backyard grilling – safely!
Just like hamburgers and hot dogs, a sizzling grill is a symbol of summer and grilling isn't just about great food. Backyard barbecues often create treasured memories with friends and family.
Keep in mind, however, that when you grill, you're literally playing with fire. Thousands of residents each year learn this the hard way, suffering damage to their homes or even serious injuries in grilling accidents.
There's good news, though: You can prevent grilling accidents by taking some simple precautions. The tips below can help ensure you cook only your burgers — and not your house — the next time you fire up the grill.
Your grill, whether gas or charcoal, should be on a level surface outdoors, away from anything that could be ignited by flames (bushes, fences, etc.).
NEVER use a grill indoors. Odorless carbon monoxide fumes could kill you.
Keep your grill clean and well-maintained. Check parts regularly to determine if replacements are needed.
Never leave a hot grill unattended or let children play near it.
From Kingsford.com
Do not add lighter fluid directly to hot coals. The flame could travel up the stream of fluid and burn you.
Never use gasoline or kerosene to light a charcoal fire.
Use flame-retardant mitts and long-handled barbecue tongs, as coals can reach up to 1,000 degrees.
To dispose of coals, allow the ashes to cool for at least 48 hours before disposal in a non-combustible container. If you cannot wait 48 hours, carefully place coals individually in a can of sand or bucket of water.
From the National Fire Protection Association
Check your grill's hoses for leaks before using it for the first time each year. Apply a light soap and water solution to the hose. A propane leak will release bubbles. If you have a leak, and it will not stop after the grill and gas is turned off, call the fire department. If the leak stops when the grill and gas are turned off, have your grill serviced by a professional.
If you smell gas while cooking, immediately get away from the grill and call the fire department. Do not move the grill.
Do not keep a filled propane tank in a hot car or trunk. When getting containers refilled, make that your last stop before going home.
Store propane tanks in an upright position, and never indoors.
From all of us at HomeStar Insurance, happy grilling, and stay safe this summer!

What the cluck?
A once humble New York hot-dog stand may have just turned into the ultimate market indicator. Shake Shack, which went public in January, hit a new record high share price on Thursday, implausibly boosting the value of restaurateur Danny Meyer's creation by $250 million, to $3.3 billion.
The proximate cause was a revelation that the company had filed an application to trademark "Chicken Shack" outlets selling poultry-based fare. Logic would suggest that such a conventional menu item might already have been baked, fried or roasted into the valuation of a glorified burger chain like Shake Shack. Investing can be illogical, though.
Believers haven't lost any of their appetite for the company's shares. After they were priced at $21 apiece in the initial public offering, they rocketed up to $45.90 on the first day of trading. They've almost doubled again.
Meyer's restaurants, also backed by private equity firm Leonard Green & Partners, went public with trimmings like a set of "Shack-onomics" including "same Shack sales," a measure to track revenue at outlets open more than two years. The cutesiness helped offset the fact that even the original IPO price was no bargain. After its fowl innovation, Shake Shack's estimated 2016 earnings now fetch a valuation multiple of 550 times.
The bullish mentality on beef and now ostensibly chicken is, well, hare-brained. Financial prognosticators keep looking for signs of trouble in the runaway metrics of Silicon Valley. Instead of worrying about wearables, they might do better to scrutinize edibles.

Global campaign charts the history of Smirnoff
Diageo has launched the first global ad campaign for Smirnoff in over 25 years.
It charts the history of the vodka brand under the banner Infamous Since 1864.
The campaign is anchored by a commercial shot by Rupert Sanders, director of feature films including Snow White & the Huntsman and Ghost in the Shell.
It tells the story of the brand's Russian roots, its subsequent popularity across Europe and its role at the forefront of the cocktail revolution in the US in the 1950s.
The campaign will also include broadcast, out-of-home, digital, social and print advertising.
It is being launched in Europe this week and will then roll out to international markets including the US, Canada, Brazil, Argentina and Kenya.
Global marketing director Neil Shah said: "This will be the first truly global campaign on the brand in more than 25 years and will launch with significant media investment.
"It's been a privilege to work with renowned director Rupert Sanders, who shared our bold ambition for this campaign."

Mazda Rotary Engine Returning
With the return of the Toyota Supra, the Lotus Esprit and Mazda RX-7 probably share the trophy for hardcore sports cars we'd most like sequels for. The Esprit's too hopeless to consider. Mazda continues to speak in riddles about a new RX-7, but the company has confirmed that the RX-7's heart will return: The company's building a rotary-engined range-extender engine for an autonomous Toyota.
At this year's Consumer Electronics Show, Toyota announced its e-Palette autonomous electric delivery vehicle. The e-Palette will come in bus, shuttle, and car versions to service the delivery needs of companies like Amazon, Pizza Hut, and Uber. They'll also be built in custom configurations such as mobile hotel rooms and emergency command centers.
Toyota owns 5.25 percent of Mazda, the two automakers recently signed a deal to open a factory in Alabama, and Mazda's known for ace work with small engines. It's not surprising that Toyota chose Mazda for help with the e-Palette, but the rotary aspect is novel. Mazda U.S. president Masahiro Moro said, "This is a very suitable engine to run a generator because it's compact and lightweight, with no noise or vibration, and it has very good fuel economy." There have been rumors of this development previously, as far back as 2016, then again last October in reference to an electric architecture Mazda intended for release in 2019, but Toyota was never mentioned.
As to pining for that RX-7 redux, Mazda's head of powertrain said the company's overcome the technical issues of a sports-car-sized rotary engine — the challenge is making a business case for such a sports car. We think the RX-VISION made the case three years ago, and it's already fitted with the Skyactiv-R rotary. Separately, a Toyota spokesman added that the two companies are looking into whether the rotary can be useful beyond the electric car. That's not much to go on when it comes to pining for another RX-7, but hope lives on a scanty diet.
