Lush Golden Wonder Bath Bomb Review
Last night I wanted to take a bath with a Lush bath bomb. In this post you will read about the Lush Golden Wonder Bath Bomb Review.
Lush Golden Wonder Bath Bomb Review
The Lush Golden Wonder bath bomb is a limited edition bath bomb, which is available in the Lush stores for the holiday season.
The bath bomb looks like a present. It looks like a square yellow box and around the box there is a white ribbon. The color of the bath bomb is very pretty, with it's golden yellow color. The ribbon around it, makes it super cute.
I let the water run and gently put the bath bomb in the water. The water turns into a yellow color first, but the water quickly turns into a turquoise color.
Golden Wonder
The Golden Wonder bath bomb barely produces any foam. There is some glitter in this bath bomb, which makes the water pretty. The bath bomb smells fresh, like orange and lime. It gives me a relaxed feeling. I really like the smell of the bath and the color is so pretty. Turquoise is actually my favorite color, next to purple. I like the turquoise swirls which is coming out of the bath bomb.
The bath bomb contains some Cognac oil, which is pretty interesting. Additionally the bath bomb also contains cream of tartar. I quite like this bath bomb, it's a pity that it's not in the regular collection.
Turquoise sea
The Golden Wonder bath bomb reminds me of a turquoise sea. The bath is very calming and relaxing. I enjoy this bath bomb a lot.

In honor of October being Halloween season and all, this month you can expect Cartoon Buzz to get into the spooky spirit with chilling cartoon theories & nostalgic Halloween specials for Throwback Thursdays!
Today we're looking back on an original Powerpuff Girls episode & how Blossom, Bubbles & Buttercup got into crime fighting mode when it came the Boogie man & the monsters wanting to turn the city of Townsville into a 70s style disco party that lasts forever.
"Boogie Frights" is episode 5 of the very first season of The Powerpuff Girls, that aired on December 16, 1998. The episode enters upon the girls getting ready for bed and Bubbles is noticably afraid of the dark. Buttercup instigates her sister's fear & tells her that there's a monster named the Boogie Man that only comes out in the dark. Both Bubbles & Blossom scream in fear when Buttercup turns out the lights but Professor Utonium comes to calm them down. After the girls fall asleep, it is revealed that there's a party full of disco-loving monsters under their bed led by the Boogie Man and his right-hand man Jerome. They may convey the impression that their just monsters who love to party, but they soon show their wicked intentions when they shutdown all of the power & blocks out the sun with a disco ball, in hopes of turning Townsville into an eternal 70s style dance party. The Powerpuff Girls come to the rescue as they send the Boogie Man flying into space and destroys the disco ball, saving the day (or night?) yet again.

More Pictures from Riley
Pictures I have promised…
Now that my computer is up and running and I have gotten us pretty well settled here in OKC, I will be getting more posts up! Thanks for waiting!
Salad Update
I wanted to provide an update about Abraham. You may recall a recent salad post Anna wrote about how Abraham asked for a salad and shocked us both. Well, it is not a one time thing, it struck again. But first, a back story.
I've mentioned before how I have taken to a more whole food, plant based, fresh/raw diet. Part of my daily eating routine is I eat an entire head of romaine lettuce, whole leaf by whole leaf. Plain. Yes I rinse it in the sink. I know most of you reading this find it weird, perhaps even repulsive. I'm alright with that. I'm even alright with the faces and snickering my beloved wife directs at me as I eat my delicious raw greens in a manner more befitting of Peter Rabbit than the leader of the A-Team. My dear progeny will grow up thinking it's normal and I find that awesome and yet humorous.
Anyway, earlier this evening I was eating my crunchy fronds of romaine goodness in our kitchen and Abraham is watching me. Closely. As in he wants my food. So, I oblige the stare and ask him if there's something he wants. He says "I want some of your lettuce Daddy." So I break him off a bite size piece for him to try. He actually eats it, though I can tell he won't be asking for more. You see, he had already eaten his entire dinner, and on top of that he's been running a very slight fever and has a head cold so who knows what to expect attitude- or appetite- wise. Another minute passes and I'm standing there at our kitchen island crunching away with the paced voracity of a giant Galapagos tortoise and Ham asks for more lettuce. Except when I offer him more he replied, in a tone more typically reserved for a teenager implying it should be painfully obvious,"no daddy, that is not a salad. It has to have croutons and all of the other stuff!" Well, excuse me! So, I shred up a frond as an offering to the all knowing Ham of Ensalada, and Anna puts in all of the other stuff that our resident 3yo salad specialist required. He then polished off the bowl.
He's my boy 🙂 Have a great weekend!
My 3-year-old son asked for a SALAD for lunch. I was extremely skeptical and made sure that it was part of MY meal and I would share with him. Turns out he ATE THE WHOLE SALAD and Abel ended up eating my chicken! These 2 kiddos are keeping their mama a bit on the "skinny" side!
Anyway, I just had to share to never underestimate a request. You never know when they just might mean what they say!!!!
Abraham's first ear infection
Please pray for little Abraham as he is having quite a tough time right now. He really started feeling better this morning on the upswing from this nasty chest cold he received as a gift last week. However, following in his father's footsteps, he is closing up this cold with his first ear infection. We first noticed it with him lightly cupping his ears but his demeanor was good so I simply prayed that he was just horsing around and it wasn't an ear infection. My parents dealt with my chronic ear infections from hell from God knows when until I was about 7yo, and I would not wish what I went through upon my worst enemy.
Fast forward to bed time tonight and he won't stay in the prone or supine position for longer than 5-8 minutes without kicking and this uncharacteristic-for-him crying moan (which sounds even more pathetic with the healing chest cold). After his mama attempted to sooth him for over 2 hours (fortunately I was working from home to help out) I walked in and found my 6mo+ pregnant wife in a heap trying to sleep on the floor next to his crib. The things we do for our kids, right? Well, I went downstairs and cut the wrapping off of the new mattress Anna gloated about the other day and, sorry Abraham, put it on the floor of the nursery, and we laid down some blankets and made it into our temporary "Infirmary Fire-watch Bed." Anna took first watch while I finish work for the night (and stealthily peck out this b-log entry). Later sometime we'll swap duties and she can hit the sack in the big people bed.
So, in closing, as I meant this to be less verbose, please pray that the Lord will make ear infections less of a chronic problem for little Hammy than it was for his dad. I realize that ear infections are one of the most common ailments for kids, but they sure aren't fun if you've never had the "blessing" of having them.
Baby Burrito
Here is Abraham as a baby burrito. He did this all on his own. It was so cute and we caught him on CAMERA waving at the TV! It was so cute!!!

30 March 2016
17.30- 20.30 (dinner & drinks provided)
The Gallery, 75 Cowcross Street, London EC1M 6EL
Hosted by Jane Levi, Food & Cultural Historian
Tickets £15, £5 for DHS members (includes supplies and dinner)
How much can we understand about the tastes, techniques and aesthetics of historic tables without experiencing them for ourselves?
Design historians often look to the furniture, flatware, crockery and dressings of consumption to tell us about cultural contexts of taste – both sensorial and cultural. In this hands-on workshop, you will be introduced to dynamic ways of reading and interpreting history via its cookbooks, using texts and paintings to consider rituals of consumption by making and tasting historical recipes.
Part illustrated talk, part paleography, part guided cooking class, this workshop gives participants the tools to get deeper inside the everyday life of historical consumption practices – through its food. Historical paintings and food texts, especially cookery and recipe books, household manuals, and gardening books are much more than curiosities. They are deeply revealing resources about their time, with a richness of detail about the everyday and social contexts. Reading is not always research enough: we need to smell, taste and feel our food.
Over the course of the evening participants will work in small groups to create different dishes from 17th-18th century cookery books. The evening's workshop will conclude in a feast where we test and discuss each group's contribution to the main table.
Please note: some of the dishes may contain nuts, meat, wheat and dairy products. If you have strong allergies or dietary constraints please check with Michaela Young in advance of booking a place: email@example.com
Please book to reserve your ticket. Spaces are limited.

First Float of the New Year
This morning I received the following email from Olaf:
Hi Tom
Your AT has already arrived - today.
It is perfect, I liked it very much.
Wondering where to put it in the collection - together with the LT ??
German or British ? Difficult to say.
Hope you get the small Hovik soon,
and that you are as happy as I am for the trade.
all the best
Quickly took a few moments to write back that I was glad that Olaf received the float, and that he was happy with it. Also, thought that the float might have been German-made, but there was no way to know for certain. The look of the glass, together with the striations reminded me of no glass floats other than German-made. Yet, the color was atypical German glassfloat coloring. It appears colorless until held to a light. The glass then captures a light aqua blue along the edges. It's a beautiful float.
Later this morning, I heard the mail truck go by. Checked the front porch, and there were two boxes. One box held a fine old research book: PARIS UNIVERSAL EXPOSITION 1878 vol 5 REPORTS of the UNITED STATES COMMISSIONERS Washington 1880.
The book was found on an Ebay auction. I had to try for it. The old exposition literature often has excellent glass float history of the makers and sellers. The auction description listed drawings of Norwegian fishing boats. So far, I have not gotten into the book in depth, but plan to do so right away.
The second box was from Olaf. The box was cold. I did not want to take any chances, so let the glass acclimate to the indoor temperatures before opening the box. Finally, as the afternoon sun filtered through the south-facing window of my float room, I opened the box, to find another box. Good Olaf. He double boxed the float. If you want to make certain that a float will not be damaged in transit, request that the float be well-wrapped inside of one box, then inserted into another with padding on all four sides. No problems with receiving a broken float when packed that way.
Before opening either box, I started taking floatos. I love to have a floato record in my files of the opening. Cut open the taping on box #2 to find the float was wrapped in bubble wrap. Began to carefully cut the tape, and even though the float was securely wrapped, hoped that I would not find it in a 100 pieces. As I unwrapped it, the bundle got smaller and smaller, until the wrap was fully opened, and there in the palm of my hand was the smallest Knobbed Egg that I've ever seen. Even the smallest Japanese rollers are much larger that that little beauty.
Must have taken 20 pics. Above are some of them. Hope that you enjoy the comparison of the little one with the other Norwegian float shapes in the collection. During the last two years, thanks to the diligent pursuits of collectors, searchers and sellers, a number of new Euro shapes have come foreward.
I have to take another picture showing the above shapes together with the normal egg float, and the little pontil-marked-applied-neck Swedish floats that David Neff first found two years ago. Are there other shapes to be discovered? The one that Olaf has, which is similar to the plumb bob float in the S.H. Davis patent, is another variation. That is a float that will take a bunch of good fortune to add to the collection. They are super rare. I've included one of Olaf's photos of his example for your pleasure.
Do any of the readers have some favorite floats to share? I would love to show some of your favorites if you will send them to me through my email address.
Later, I wrote Olaf to tell him of the Hovik's arrival, and my happiness. Amazing! Our trade floats were mailed from two different countries, passed eachother during the Atlantic crossing, made it through each country's customs deptartments, turned over to the postal services and were received just about the sametime on the sameday-allowing for the 6-hour time difference. Now that's service!
I've been very fortunate to have shared experiences and collections with so many kind, interesting and passionate float collectors. Fortunate to have so many email friends around the world. And fortunate to have good trading partners, who have expressed their happiness with the trades we've made. Nothing like sharing happiness.
P.S. Had a bit of time to look at the Paris Universal Exposition 1878 book this morning, and found one piece of information that is definitely worth sharing with all of those collectors wanting to know more about the Vallo floats.
In the Norwegian displays there is mention of: an exhibit by Vallo Glass Works of glass floats for fishing nets. The notation is found on page 445.
Now we know that in 1878, Vallo was displaying their floats. Questions come to mind, was Vebjorn's find a display float? Are there other marked Vallo floats still to be found and added to our collections? Did Vallo produce unmarked floats, or floats with markings other than the only known example? What will the future bring in the way of knowledge about the company and their wonderful floats?

Great news Tom and Congrats. Interesting reading and I love the pictures from those outstanding and beautiful glass floats.ReplyDelete
Vallø news are a great find, tell us more about it.
It is written in a couple of sources that Vallø got medals of gold and silver at the world exhibition in Paris 1878. It is great news that they brought their floats to Paris. It would also be great to find out if they got any prize for their floats.ReplyDelete
Nice photos, Tom, and congratulation with a new addition to your collection.
Sorry, these were bronze and silver medals that Vallø got at the exhibition in Paris.ReplyDelete

For any Gujarati person, autumn is just another name for garba season.
With Navaratri starting on Sept. 25, 2014, and continuing for nine days until Oct. 3, Indians all around the world celebrate the Hindu deity Durga with garba.
Garba is a Gujarati form of folk dance that has several components to it. Garba celebrations usually happen during Hindu festivals (like Navarati or Diwali) or even at weddings, and attract hundreds of people to perform dances around a picture or statue of a god or goddess.
In general, there are three main types of garba dances (or garbos) — raas, using dandiyas (or sticks) is the most popular one. Even though most garbas use traditional music, these days they also utilize a fusion of Bollywood music and Punjabi bhangra. They can be performed anywhere from school gyms to community centres to huge convention spaces like Toronto's International Centre, which also happens to be North America's largest garba venue.
Here are 17 signs you go to garba every single year... and love it. Have more to add? Let us know in the comments below.
You plan your garba outfit at least a week in advance
Do I go with the saree or do I whip out the vintage choli suit?
You also know when you get there, you probably can't do one FULL circle
8,000 people in one room? Nope.
Out of all three major garbos, tran taali is the worst
Two words: Garba selfie
Garba selfie! 💃☺ pic.twitter.com/sJEjypeNXt— Karisma Hathi (@karismah19) October 13, 2013
Garba w/ @krithiyerr 😊💕 love you lots! #wepartyhard pic.twitter.com/yXvagfLo0o— s y d ❥ (@sydneyjones10s) September 21, 2014
Thank you for teaching me new styles today @planetParle !! It was loving doing the Garba with you and @sheensx ❤ pic.twitter.com/q0L9PZRN1R— Dhvanii. (@dhvanii_20) September 13, 2014
Watching non-Indians (and non-Gujus) do garba puts a huge smile on your face
Even if they can't get the steps right.
When sanedo happens, nobody wants to get back up
See what we mean...
@djalvaro @kcmcjones @Lost_Stories_R D Gujju Festival Sit Down... Sanedo Sanedo rishab u shud have been here pic.twitter.com/Vj6wHp5VXo— jignesh soni (@iamjiggi) October 12, 2013
By now you have mastered raas (the basic and the 12-step), but you know getting hit with dandiyas is the ABSOLUTE WORST
Cheap Indian food stalls? Win
But we're also smart enough to know to bring our own water bottles.
No matter how tired you are, you have to stand up for aarti (prayer)
Or those Guju aunties will shame you.
Describing garba to a non-Indian makes it seems like a circus.
"So we have these sticks.. and go around in circles.. and hit other people's sticks.."
Mr. and Ms. Garba are competitions you take seriously
And have probably won the title in the past.
You can expect at least one Bollywood mix in garba music this year
A lot of people go to find love .. or a date at least
(Just kidding, Indian parents).
You know there is a stick hierarchy and these ones always bend
Stick with a belan.
You've memorized most of the garbos
And this movie makes you feel extra special.
Your feet KILL the next morning
Your parents will always tell you garba is better in India. But you love that you can celebrate your culture right here at home.

"So, it's settled then." Lucas Wolenczech said as he leaned back in his chair. "We make Miguel a cake for his birthday."
"Yep." Seaman Tony Piccolo agreed. "Only question is, what kind of cake?"
Dagwood looked confused. "I thought it was a birthday cake?"
"What 'kind' of birthday cake."
"Oh." Dagwood thought for a moment. "Ortiz likes chocolate."
"Perfect." Lucas said. He glanced around the mess hall to make sure no one was listening. Since the three of them were low on funds, and their friend's birthday was two days away, they had decided to go the 'homemade' gift route. "Okay, tomorrow morning we make the cake."
Tony hesitated. "Do you know how to make a cake?"
"Of course I do." Lucas said and rolled his eyes. "You just add water and eggs to the mix."
Chief Miguel Ortiz walked along the hall in the direction of his quarters. He had just finished working a double shift at the sensor station, and he was tired. He put a hand on his temple and tried to massage away another headache that was starting. Miguel rounded a corner and nearly collided with Doctor Wendy Smith.
"Sorry." He said, then went to walk past her. He stopped when she moved into his way. "What?"
"You are almost a week overdue for your yearly physical." Wendy informed him.
"Am I?" Miguel asked innocently. "I had no idea."
Wendy stared at him. "Really? And I suppose the three messages I left for you about this mysteriously vanished?"
"Yeah…something like that."
"I have you scheduled for 0900 tomorrow." Wendy said. "Be there, or I'll come looking for you."
"But, my shift starts then." Miguel was looking for a way out of the physical. He didn't really like taking them.
"I have informed the Captain that you will be late."
"Wendy, my birthday is in two days…can't this wait?"
"It is? I didn't know." Wendy thought for a moment. Miguel sighed in relief. "Happy early birthday…see you at 0900 tomorrow."
Tony and Lucas stood in the crew recreation kitchen and stared at the shelf in dismay.
"Not one cake mix on the entire sub." Tony complained. "What are we gonna do?"
"Make one from scratch?" Lucas suggested.
"Fine." Tony sighed. "I'll find a cookbook."
Miguel sat on the table in the med lab and watched as Wendy checked a few readings. She looked at him, then back at the readout.
"What?" Miguel asked.
"How often do you have headaches?"
Miguel sighed. "I've had quite a few lately. Maybe…uh…four a day."
"I want to run a few more tests." Wendy told him.
Miguel sighed. "And you wonder why I put off going to the doctor."
Wendy was silent as she ran tests on the computer. Miguel amused himself be tying and untying the strings of his hospital gown.
"How much coffee do you drink in a day?" Wendy asked.
"A lot." Miguel answered. "Why?"
"I want you to cut out caffeine for a week."
"You told me earlier that you have been having headaches." Wendy said.
"Did I?"
Wendy sighed. "Those headaches are caffeine related. It's not going to hurt you to give it up for a week…It's only caffeine."
"Might as well ask me to give up breathing for a week." Miguel muttered. "It's only air."
"And after the week, you can resume drinking it. But try to cut down." Wendy smiled. "Instead of your usual three pots of coffee a day, cut it down to two."
"Funny." Miguel sighed. "All caffeine products?"
"All…starting now."
Tony leafed through the cookbook and sighed. "How many chocolate cake recipes are there? There must be at least fifty in here."
"Hold it." Lucas said. "Go back one."
Tony turned the page back. "Chocolate Coffee cake?"
"It's perfect." Lucas said. "Miguel loves chocolate, and coffee."
Tony read the page. "Looks simple enough. Hold on…there's no coffee in this recipe."
"Must be a typo." Lucas said. "It's a coffee cake, so it must have coffee in it."
"What's a tsp?" Tony asked.
"Uhh…that's a teaspoon."
"And T-b-s-p?"
"Tablespoon." Lucas answered.
Tony stood up. "Okay, let's get to work." He rummaged through a drawer. "How much coffee do you think we should add?"
"Three teaspoons should be enough."
"Oh-oh." Tony looked up. "I can't find anything that says 'tsp' on it…all I can find is this T-b-s-p." He held it up.
"Use that then." Lucas said. "I think three tablespoons makes one teaspoon."
Miguel grimaced as he took a sip of his drink. He glanced up as Ensign Lonnie Henderson sat at the table.
"All ready for your birthday?" she asked.
Miguel shrugged. "Yeah, I guess." He took another sip.
"What are you drinking?" Lonnie asked. "It smells like tea."
"Herbal tea to be exact." Miguel sighed.
"Why? I mean, you love coffee… why switch?"
"I'm under doctor's orders to stay away from all caffeine products for a week." Miguel said.
Lonnie looked at him sympathetically. "Oh, that must hurt. But, why?"
"You know those headaches that I've been having?" He asked. Lonnie nodded. "Well, Wendy says that they are caused by caffeine."
"I'm sorry." Lonnie looked sad. "That's not a very good present to get just before your birthday."
"It's okay." Miguel said and took another sip of his tea. "This stuff is just…"
"Exactly." Miguel slumped back in his chair. "Hey, would you mind if I smelled your coffee?"
"It's just that I would prefer it if you ran all changes by me before you implement them." Commander Jonathan Ford said.
Lieutenant James Brody laughed. "You're just mad because my idea worked better than yours." He smiled at a female Lieutenant who passed by as they walked through the crew recreation area.
"It's not that." Ford said. "It's just that there are--" He trailed off, and sniffed the air. "What is that stench?" He looked at Brody.
"Hey! It's not me!" Brody covered his nose. "Smells like it's coming from the rec kitchen."
They walked quickly to the kitchen that was used for the crew when they wanted to partake in cooking for a hobby, and opened the door. Lucas and Tony looked up at them.
"What are you two doing?" Ford demanded.
"Baking a cake." Lucas answered.
"Out of what?" Brody asked as he looked at the cake cooling on the counter. "Old tires?"
"It's for Mig's birthday." Tony said.
"I thought Miguel was your friend?" Ford said.
"He is."
"Then don't give him that cake." Ford advised. "You might poison him."
"What kind of cake is it suppose to be?" Brody asked.
"It's a coffee cake." Lucas answered. "But I think we used too much coffee grounds."
Ford and Brody looked at each other. "Do you want to tell them?" Brody asked.
"No, you go ahead."
Brody faced Tony and Lucas. "Uhh…how much coffee grounds did you use?"
"Nine tablespoons." Tony said.
"We couldn't find the teaspoon, and Lucas said that three tablespoons was one teaspoon."
Brody laughed. "It's the other way around. Three teaspoons makes one tablespoon."
"And coffee cake doesn't have coffee in it."
"Then why do they call it coffee cake?" Lucas asked.
"Because you eat it while drinking coffee." Ford answered seriously.
"Besides," Brody continued, "if you wanted to put coffee in it, you have to dilute the grounds with water."
Ford looked at him. "How do you know?"
"I took cooking classes in high school."
Brody arched an eyebrow. "And what's wrong with that?"
"Nothing. It just doesn't sound like you."
"That's a sexist attitude Jonathan."
"It is not." Ford said. He narrowed his eyes as a thought occurred to him. "How many females were in this class?"
Brody smiled fondly. "Twenty five."
"Uh-huh." Ford nodded. "And how many guys?"
"Five to one ratio. Now 'that' sounds like you."
Brody laughed. "Hey, Grandma Brody didn't raise any fools."
"Learn lots in that class?"
"Plenty." Brody admitted. "And they even taught me how to cook food."
Everyone looked as the door opened again, and Dagwood walked in.
"Dagwood is finished with cleaning. Is the cake done?"
"Yes." Tony said. "Want a piece?"
Dagwood sniffed the air, then looked at the cake. "No thank you."
"Why not?"
"It smells bad." Dagwood said honestly.
Brody started to laugh again. He leaned against one of the tables for support as tears rolled down his face.
Lucas sighed. "I think we need to make another cake."
Miguel tapped his fingers on his console as he watched the sensor readings. He was rather bored, and wished that he could have a cup of coffee…even a sip would do. He sighed in annoyance when he realized that he had not had a single headache all day. Come on…just one headache, so I can tell Wendy that she was wrong about the caffeine.
Miguel looked at Lonnie. "What?"
"You awake?" Lonnie asked. "You've got this spaced out look on your face."
"I'm fine." He turned back to his readouts and tried to concentrate.
"How's it going?"
Miguel glanced at Lonnie again. "Surprisingly good. I don't miss coffee at all."
"No." Miguel leaned back in his chair and sighed. "I figure if I say that enough, I'll start to believe it."
"Hard is it?" Lonnie asked. "Any withdrawal headaches?"
"None yet." Miguel said, and realized that any headache he might have would just be written off by Wendy as a withdrawal symptom. "Good thing Wendy didn't tell me to give up smoking too."
"Miguel…you don't smoke." Lonnie pointed out.
"I know. But can you imagine what a mess I'd be if I did, and had to give both up?"
Lonnie laughed. "You Miguel Ortiz, are a nut."
Tony stuck a spoon in the batter and hesitantly put it in his mouth. He smiled. "That ain't half bad."
"Really?" Lucas asked and grabbed a spoon. He tasted the batter. "Half bad? I'd say it's darn good."
"Can we cook it now?" Dagwood asked.
"Sure thing buddy." Tony answered and poured the batter into the pan.
"What kind of icing are we going to put on it?" Dagwood inquired.
Lucas looked up from the cookbook. "Here's a good one…double chocolate mocha frosting."
"Mmmm." Tony agreed.
"Miguel will like that." Dagwood said.
Brody put his dinner tray down as he sat at the mess hall table. He grabbed the sugar, added it to his coffee, then put it back. He brought the cup up to take a sip, and stopped in mid air.
"What?" he asked a staring Miguel.
"Why are you staring at me?" Brody asked. "Do I have something on my face?"
"Uh…no." Miguel said then went back to eating.
Lonnie put her try on the table and sat down. Miguel stared at her cup.
"It's tea." Lonnie said. "I didn't want to put you through the agony of smelling my coffee again."
"Smelling your what??" Brody asked. "Am I missing something here?"
"I have to stay away from caffeine for a week." Miguel said miserably. "Which means no coffee."
"So that's what you were staring at." Brody laughed.
"It's not funny Jim." Lonnie said. "You know how Miguel loves coffee."
"Sorry Migs…but, uh, ever heard of decaf?"
Miguel sat up straight. "Decaf?" Hope showed on his face. He pulled out his PAL and turned it on. "Wendy?"
"Go ahead." Wendy's voice answered.
"It's Ortiz. Is decaffeinated coffee okay for me to drink?" Pleasepleasepleaseplease.
"Yes, it is." Wendy said.
"Thank you!" Miguel clicked off his PAL and stood up. "Why didn't I think of that?" He looked at Lonnie. "Why didn't you think of that?" He walked quickly to the coffee urns, poured himself a large mug of decaf coffee, and walked back to the table.
"Ahhhhhhh." He sighed in contentment. "This stuff's not bad. You're off the hook for a birthday present Jim."
"Am I? Oh, dear…what ever shall I tell the dancing girls I smuggled onboard for your party?"
Miguel stared at him. You better be joking."
"We'll never know now, will we?" Brody said, then laughed at the panicked expression that crossed Miguel's face.
Tony placed the cake on a plate and grabbed the bowl of icing. He applied it generously to the cake, then stood back to admire is work.
"Looks good." Lucas said.
"It looks edible." Dagwood said. "Can I have a piece?"
"Not right now Dags." Lucas said. "This is for Miguel."
"I'll put it in the box." Tony picked up the cake and turned quickly. The cake started to slip off the plate. Tony tried to steady it, but he was too late. The three of them watched in dismay as the cake fell to the floor.
"Aw, man!" Tony cried.
"I'll get the broom." Dagwood said and walked away.
Lucas stared at the cake and sighed. "I'll get the cookbook…again."
Miguel blinked his eyes and tried to concentrate on the screen in front of him. His head was pounding and he wondered if this was one of those 'withdrawal headaches' Lonnie had mentioned. It felt like his eyes were going to pop out of his head.
Commander Ford watched Miguel for a few moments before his stood and approached. "Are you feeling all right Chief?"
Miguel looked at him through half closed eyes. "I just have a headache sir."
"Take a break." Ford said. "Go get something from Wendy for it."
"Aye sir." Miguel stood slowly. He started down the steps to the main bridge, and almost tripped.
"Hold on Ortiz." Ford said. "I think you might need an escort." He walked over to Brody, whispered something, then returned to Miguel. "Lieutenant Brody will see that you get to the med lab in one piece."
Miguel was in no mood to argue. "Fine."
Brody walked away from the med lab after Wendy had given Miguel something for his headache, and confined him to one of the beds for an hour. Brody decided to check in with Tony, Lucas, and Dagwood to see how they were doing with the cake, and headed in the direction of the crew recreation area.
He inhaled as he approached the kitchen and smiled. It's smells pretty good he decided as he opened the door and stuck his head in.
"How's it going?" He asked loudly.
Tony, who was checking the cake in the oven, jumped in surprise. He let go of the oven door and it slammed shut.
Brody grimaced. "You shouldn't slam the oven door…it'll make the cake fall."
Tony and Lucas stared daggers at him.
"I think I'll leave now." Brody said quickly and ducked out of the room.
Lucas walked to the stove and looked in the oven. He sighed at the sight of the now fallen cake.
"I know, I know…get the cookbook."
Miguel rolled over in his sleep, and snuggled into the pillow. He heard a slight noise, and opened his eyes. He sat up in surprise and looked around the medical lab.
"What the hell?" He looked at his watch, shocked to see that it was well past midnight. "Wendy?" he called out.
Wendy stuck her head out of her office. "Well, I see that you are finally awake." She walked towards him.
"What am I doing here?"
"What's the last thing you remember?"
Miguel thought. "Coming in with a killer headache."
Wendy nodded. "I gave you something for it, then you fell asleep. It seemed a shame to wake you." She smiled at him. "How are you feeling now?"
"Better." Miguel answered as he stood up. "Can I go back to my own bed?"
"Of course. But, if you get anymore of those headaches, take one of these." Wendy handed him a small bottle. "They're non-drowsy, so it won't hurt your work performance."
"Thanks." Miguel said and looked at the bottle. He turned to leave.
"Oh, Miguel?"
He faced her. "Yeah?"
"Happy birthday."
Miguel smiled. "Thanks."
Tony yawned as he carefully put the cake into the box and shut the lid. He sat in a chair gratefully. "We are finally done."
"Can I have a piece?" Dagwood asked.
"Not right now." Lucas said and covered a yawn. "Ask Miguel after we give him the cake tomorrow." He looked at his watch. "I mean today."
Tony looked at his own watch. "I can't believe it took us seventeen hours just to make one cake."
"Four cakes." Dagwood corrected him.
"Don't remind me."
Tony stood. "Lock that cake away somewhere safe. I'm goin' ta bed."
Miguel was just starting on his second cup of decaf coffee when an envelope landed on the table in front of him. He looked up at the person who had dropped it, then stood quickly.
"At ease." Captain Nathan Bridger said before Miguel could salute. "How's the birthday so far?"
"It's good sir." Miguel answered.
"Get a good haul?" Bridger's eyes twinkled mischievously.
"Uh…yes sir." Miguel replied.
"Good. Well, I'll leave you to open that, and I'll see you on the bridge in twenty minutes."
"Aye sir." Miguel watched as his captain walked away, then he sat back down and reached for the envelope. He opened it slowly, pulled out a piece of paper, and stared at it happily. Three days shore leave when we hit Australia! YES!!! Miguel put the paper back in the envelope and smiled. Thank you sir!
Brody sat at the table. "What has you so happy?"
"Three days shore leave." Miguel answered.
"Nice…how'd you work that one?"
"I live right." Miguel laughed.
"What'd you get for your birthday?" Brody asked as he took a sip of his coffee.
"Uh…three days leave, a very good book from Lonnie, two extra hours of ship to shore calling from Tim…and someone sent me a strip-o-gram e-mail."
"Really?" Brody asked. "I wonder who?" He smiled behind his coffee cup. It had taken him hours of viewing just to pick out the right birthday message for that e-mail.
"Yeah." Miguel stared at him. "I wonder."
Brody nodded towards the door. "Looks like another present heading your way."
"Happy birthday!!!!" Lucas, Tony and Dagwood said together when they reached the table. Tony put a box in front of Miguel.
"Hey, thanks." Miguel said as he opened it. He looked in the box.
"It's a cake." Dagwood said. "We made it."
Miguel inhaled the delicious aroma of the chocolate, and then looked at them. "This is great."
"Have a piece." Tony said.
"Uh…I can't." Miguel didn't know quite how to tell them. "It looks good, and I'm sure it's great, but I can't."
"Why not?" Lucas asked.
"If ya knew what we went through in the yesterday to make that for you, then you'd eat it." Tony said.
Miguel sighed. "I appreciate the gift, really I do…but I'm under Wendy's orders to stay away from caffeine products for a week."
"What does that have to do with anything?" Tony demanded.
"Chocolate has caffeine in it." Miguel said quietly.
Lucas stared at him in shock. His mind ran over the events of the previous day, and what they had gone through to make this birthday present. Tony started to laugh. He sat at the table, put his head on his arms and laughed until his body shook.
"Can I have a piece?" Dagwood asked.

Oscar Van Heerden: State Capture and why a Nasrec victory was so crucially important
The recent and ongoing revelations coming out of the Zondo Commission on State Capture further underscore not only the extent of the rot, but more importantly, the extent of the patronage network that benefited and stood to benefit more had the Zuma faction won at Nasrec in December 2017.
Of utmost importance is the fact that State Capture was not just a criminal enterprise, it was a political project. A book written by Ivor Chipkin and Mark Swilling, Shadow State, The Politics of State Capture, succinctly outlines how the structuring of the capture of the state occurs. It states that "the nexus between the constitutional and shadow state depends on the integration of a range of skills similar to those present in most international corporations. The composition of the Zuma-centred power elite is in many respects, highly organised, following the structure of what in academic terms is called 'war economy'. In a war economy the shadow state establishes a number of informal structures which produce systems of 'profit, power and protection' that, in turn, serve to further their operations, making possible continued preferential access to resources and power through an exploitative economic system". They explain further that one of the key requirements in establishing these shadow structures is the ability to secure a system of command and control over the way the resources are accessed, moved and distributed. The Saxonwold shebeen springs to mind, where such power and distribution occurred. Once access to the source of extraction is secured, networks of middlemen or brokers must be established that can move resources externally (Dubai among others), usually transnationally, to sustain loyalty. Chipkin and Swilling say that the skills of this patronage network are localised within a number of groups. The network consist of three elements: The controllers, the elites and the entrepreneurs (also known as the brokers). The controllers, or patrons, of resources sit at the apex and are usually the strongmen directly responsible for predation and exploitation. Their function is to secure access to and maintain control of resources. This they do at the exclusion of those elites who are out of favour. This creates an atmosphere of fear among the elites of being ousted, or falling out of favour with the patron(s). Jacob Zuma and the Guptas were controllers. The elites, on the other hand, establish and maintain patronage networks, which facilitate the distribution of benefits. In South Africa, besides some of the known politicians, we also have Anoj Singh (Eskom), Brian Molefe (Transnet & Eskom), and many more. The entrepreneurs or brokers are middlemen who facilitate the movement of funds, information and/or goods both domestically and across transnational networks, using recruitment networks, lending networks, remittance transfers and smuggling networks. Examples here, according to the book, are Transnet's Iqbal Sharma, Eric Wood, CEO of Gupta company Trillian, Salim Essa and Ashok Narayan, former MD of the Guptas' Sahara Computers. These people secure domestic and cross-border operations through which resources can be moved to international "clearing hubs" and enter legitimate trade activities. So, let's not reduce this undertaking to one of criminality only — it would be a mistake. By the way, another such State Capture political project happened in South Africa before 1994, so it is nothing new. The apartheid National Party government did exactly the same thing to the benefit of by and large the Afrikaner minority, whether it be through forced removals to give better land to themselves, or be it huge subsidies for large-scale Afrikaner farmers to ensure success, or subsidies for huge co-operatives such as KWV and Distell, to mention a few. They created numerous employment opportunities for Afrikaners at the expense of others in state owned enterprises such as Eskom, Telkom, Sasol, SAA, the Post Office, Transnet and government departments in general. I mention this not to justify Zuma's failed project, but to simply illustrate that just like we the people ultimately had to put a stop to a predatory apartheid state, so too did we have to put a stop to the Zupta project. I'm here to tell you, even with the academics' report on State Capture, the SA Council of Churches Unburdening Panel report, the 101 Veterans' activism and #GuptaLeaks, the fact is that all these would have been rendered useless because the Zuma faction was firmly in charge of the Nasrec conference and its processes last December. Registration, accreditation and verification of provincial delegations, all were closely monitored over the months leading up to the conference. State apparatus was brought to bear to ensure a particular outcome. Millions was lost in this endeavour by the Zuma group. The CR17 camp did not stand a chance, I'm afraid. They were disorganised, at times seeming not to understand the modalities of election politics at the conference and they certainly came to a gunfight with a knife, I thought at one point. Which had been the case at the previous two ANC National Conferences as well, both Polokwane and Mangaung. In Polokwane the Thabo Mbeki group thought they were in opposition with principled cadres, After all, it is your democratic right to challenge any possible contender for the top job in the ANC, but they were mistaken. The Zuma group was unprincipled, they violated the ANC constitution, they intimidated and manipulated branches, regions and provinces. They bribed at will and hence ensured that they mustered the necessary votes and support at the conference. Now, when you deal with such unscrupulous characters, you will lose, which is exactly what happened at Turfloop, outside Polokwane. I say again, State Capture was not just a criminal enterprise, it was a political project. I am the first to state the obvious — the outcome of Nasrec was not perfect, but in order to stop this destructive project from repeating itself, it meant entering into certain political compromises, as long as the real enemy was defeated. But the defeat and total destruction of the State Capture project is incomplete. The outcome and subsequent corrective measures after the Zondo Commission is of crucial importance. Hence, Deputy Chief Justice, Zondo, we cannot afford the commission ending up as simply a witch hunt. With a general election looming large on the horizon, President Cyril would be best advised to ensure that some, including the Gupta brothers, are arrested to send a clear message to all: Never again will we allow such plunder. It seems, too, as if the ANC has left the building. Where is the support for Mcebisi Jonas during his testimony or others that have dared to come forward and reveal all. Where are the leagues, the NEC types, the Top Six? It would behove the SA prosecutorial authorities to contact Interpol, the government and the monarchy in the United Arab Emirates to extradite the Guptas to where they will face the full force of our laws and when found guilty, to spend the rest of their natural days behind bars. I fear that anything less will hurt our country and its collective psyche far beyond just what the upcoming general election might do. DM

End Of Men? Not Just Yet, Say Scientists Investigating Mysteries Of Male Y Chromosome
End Of Men? Not Just Yet, Say Scientists Investigating Mysteries Of Male Y Chromosome
Men inherit both a Y and an X chromosome, and women have two X chromosomes. However, scientists believe the Y chromosome is a withered remnant of the X chromosome from which it originally evolved.
Reports of the demise of the male Y chromosome have been greatly exaggerated according to scientists who believe that the "end of men" is a gender apocalypse too far.
Two independent studies of the diminutive Y chromosome, which is inherited solely down the male line, have failed to find evidence to support the widely held theory that its evolutionary days – and those of its owner – are numbered.
A detailed genetic analysis of the Y chromosomes of a wide range of mammalian species, including humans, shows that far from continuing to wither away unremittingly, it has remained remarkably stable for at least the past 25 million years.
The research also found that the few remaining genes on the Y chromosome include some that perform vital regulatory control of other genes that are active throughout a man's body – making each of his cells distinctly and subtly different from those of a woman.
This would suggest that medical treatments should in future be tailored more towards a patient's gender, and that doctors may have more reason to treat men and women differently according to their sex, said Professor David Page, director of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
"There is a clear need to move beyond a unisex model of biomedical research, which means we need to move beyond a unisex model of our understanding and treatment of disease," said Professor Page, who led one of the research teams.
Henrik Kaessmann of the University of Lausanne, who led the other team, said that the findings explode the myth that the Y chromosome is primarily about the genes involved in male reproduction.
"Now it is clear that the Y chromosome is not specific to males so to speak but also important for functions throughout the body," Professor Kaessmann said.
Men inherit both a Y and an X chromosome, and women have two X chromosomes. However, scientists believe the Y chromosome is a withered remnant of the X chromosome from which it originally evolved.
Hundreds of millions of years ago, genetic decay ravaged the Y chromosome, leaving it with just three per cent of its ancestral genes, compared with 98 per cent on the corresponding X chromosome of women.
This rapid loss of genetic function was widely seen as a portent of a premature demise for the Y chromosome, and of the male sex in general. The Oxford geneticist Professor Bryan Sykes, for instance, estimated in 2003 that men have about 125,000 years left before they become extinct.
However, the latest studies, published side by side in the journal Nature, demonstrate that although the Y chromosome has retained only 19 of the 600 genes it once shared with the X chromosome, it has lost only one of its genes in the past 25 million years, and those that have remained continue to serve vital functions throughout the male body – and not just in his reproductive organs.
"This [study] tells us that not only is the Y chromosome here to stay, but that we need to take it seriously, and not just in the reproductive tract," Professor Page said.
"There are approximately a dozen genes conserved on the Y that are expressed in cells and tissue types throughout the body. These are genes involved in decoding and interpreting the entirety of the genome…this is an elite bunch of genes," he said.
Daniel Bellott, a research scientist at the Whitehead Institute, said that the few genes left on the Y chromosome must be incredibly important for male survival and show just how streamlined the Y chromosome has become.
"Evolution is telling us these genes are really important for survival. They've been selected and purified over time," Dr Bellott said.
"We think that the Y chromosome is holding on to these last few genes to ensure male viability. The Y is sort of streamlined. It's a minimal second sex chromosome," he said.

A man has been charged after being caught allegedly filming up a woman's shorts while she was napping on a NSW train, with video of the alleged incident shared online.
A 30-year-old Cessnock man was arrested and charged overnight with filming a person's private parts without consent and offensive conduct.
A video of the alleged incident was shared to Facebook on Monday.
In a caption, Tegan Portener detailed how she awoken from a nap while on a train from Sydney to Newcastle to find a man poking an iPhone – its camera faced towards her – under the backrest of the seat in front of her.
She said she had her "knees up in shorts" and that the man upon boarding earlier was "looking around suspiciously".
"(He) did it (the filming) for another half hour until I finally mustered up the courage to tell him to stop," she wrote in her Facebook post.
The video shows the man's startled reaction when Ms Portener calls him out on his alleged filming.
The man can be seen shaking his head before the video ends.
The video has since been shared thousands of times.
Ms Portener said she reported the incident to the train driver who then contacted Broadmeadow police.
The alleged offender has been granted bail and is expected to front Toronto Local Court on April 20.

Interpreting Educational and Fun Dreamtime Messages
by Ask a Healer
Featured Dream Skills Program:
Learn to astral travel
Dream Meanings Kit
This is part of my series on interpreting dreams. In my own experience, all dreams are not created equal. I've experienced at least 5 different levels of dreamtime activity, each with it's own distinct energetic feel and type of benefit for my life. A medicine dream will be quite different for me than what I call ego clean up dreams. Though both are important, I usually find medicine dreams awesome and exciting where ego clean up dreams just feel tedious to me most of the time.
Right now, let's talk about those dreams that are just plain fun. You know, where you are just doing something silly or something silly is happening and there's just a fun vibe to it. And then, we'll chat about dreams involving school or training.
The Purpose of Fun and Education Dreams
The times when I have fun dreams tend to be times when I seemed to have reached some sort of plateau in my life where everything is working fairly well or when I've resolved an issue that had creative energies stifled. Then, my mind can just play at night.
In my experience, these types of fun dreams signal times of high creativity and inspiration so it's good to brainstorm, journal, try new things, etc. when fun dreams are happening. Also good to take the dream into my meditation time, with the intent of applying the energetic feel of it to stimulating creative ideas.
These fun dreams, for me, are absent of stressful emotion altogether and full of vivid emotions, vivid colors, the perfection of some situation or just some kind of perfectly playful scenario. I believe these are dreams of creation, times when my soul has some room to breathe, and just be and I'd like to have more of those.
The Purpose of School and Training Dreams
The other side of the fantasy, fun, playful dream is the education dream. Typically, though not always, dreams involving training of some kind will be more serious and not as playful. It will be obvious that I'm to focus and concentrate on what's going on. Educational dreams can be light, ego clean up dreams, in that I may be teaching myself how to deal with some issue in my life in the dream, using the dream time at an ego level for practical purposes.
However, there is another level of training dream which is so totally awesome. In those dreams, I might meet with famous teachers or people and receive specific, important spiritual training of some kind. One example that comes to mind was that I found myself in a classroom with Joseph Smith (of the Mormons) one night and he taught me something significant having to do with my voice.
In that dream, another person known to me in real life was also attending the class. I mentioned seeing him there the next time we crossed paths. He did not remember the dream class but the message Joseph Smith had given me was significant to him, nonetheless.
Fun and education converge when I have a fun dream that also stimulates some new inspiration for me in my waking life. For example, I might have a dream about writing a play and then actually start to write one, based on the dream. Or, I might have a fun dream involving wild and strange imagery that stimulates me to start painting, using the colors or themes of the dream as a starting point for the art.

While I was in San Francisco, I had dinner at The Slanted Door. It's sort of modern Vietnamese food. Very delicious. The menu is here, but my faaaaaaavourite thing was the yuba (tofu skin) noodles. The Slanted Door gets their tofu from an artisanal tofu maker in Oakland, which you can read about here.
I no longer remember all the things I ate (however, they were all tasty), but here's some photos anyway.
Any time I have the opportunity to eat sea urchin, I WILL. If anyone out there is having a sea urchin party, please invite me.
The dessert was a massive cloud of cotton candy.

Yesterday marked the first day of summer, but temperatures have consistently reached into the 90s for some time now. Today, at AYC headquarters in Plantation, Florida, outdoor temperatures are 91 degrees with a heat index of 99 degrees. One of the most common problems that homeowners have during the summer months is keeping energy costs from skyrocketing.
With temperatures in the low to mid-nineties and the heat index flirting with 100 degrees, it's no wonder that so many homeowners turn their thermostats way down to stay cool. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to keep cool without breaking the bank.
For instance, try turning your thermostat up just two degrees. FPL recommends keeping your thermostat set at 78 degrees. If you normally keep your thermostat set to 74, try setting it to 76 for a few days, then try 78. Don't tell the rest of your family. Chances are they won't even notice the difference!
Control your humidity. Most South Florida residents realize that outdoor humidity can affect the perceived temperature outdoors, but what many do not realize is that indoor humidity may also affect our perceived temperature indoors. Lowering humidity in your home can help you feel cooler, which allows many homeowners to set their thermostat at higher temperatures without sacrificing their comfort.
Many newer air conditioners include standard or optional humidity control features. Dehumidifiers may also be effective. One of the best ways to control humidity is to make sure your air conditioner is properly sized. An air conditioner that is too large will not run long enough to adequately remove humidity from your home. Air conditioners that are too small will run continuously and increase energy consumption and costs.
Also try turning on a fan. It won't lower the temperature, but it will make you feel cooler. When you leave the room, remember to turn the fan off. Also avoid running your washer, dryer and dishwasher during the day when temperatures are high. Run these appliances in the morning or evening when temperatures are lower. This way, your air conditioner will not have to work as hard to make up for the added heat that these appliances give off.
And, of course, upgrading your air conditioning system to a more energy efficient system can help to reduce monthly energy bills. Government standards now require new air conditioners to operate with a seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) of 13.00 or higher. Many units installed just five years ago do not meet this standard.
All Year Cooling offers air conditioners that meet, exceed or greatly surpass the 13.00 SEER standard. Give us a call or shoot us an email for more information about energy efficiency and one of our air conditioning experts will help you determine which air conditioner is right for you.

Jam Today: Monday, April 16th, 2018
Streaming Beyonce: The word has come from all and sundry, Queen Bey revolutionized Coachella with a two hour set that included marching bands, Jay Z , and Destiny's Child. It might be all true, I've seen Bey on stage many times and she has been always great. But who knows? If there is somewhere to stream the set I certainly haven't found it. You would think someone, anyone, would have posted it somewhere, if Trump had this few leaks…. er, two ways to go there… Whatever, the fact remains that it can't be found so I will have to wait for this summer's tour. Could a marching band make that much difference???
James Comey: I'll buy a lot of stuff but I'll never buy Comey as an American hero. Anyway, I'm going to a q and a at the Town Hall to see if the tall, dour, mo-fo has anything to actually tell me that I don't know.
Concerts: Sam Huber tonight, the Weepies on Friday so somewhat on the quiet side. The following week I have the Donna Summer musical coming up so that's to the good.
Sports: This is depressing, as the NHL and the NBA gear up for the playoffs, New York is at home streaming Beyonce if they're lucky enough to have access to it. Meanwhile, the Yanks are back at .500 after not playing all weekend and the Mets are 12 – 2. I have no idea how, color me baffled.
Syria: I get the feeling that between Putin and Trump I'm being played for a sucker. You know, where lovers pretend to hate each other in front of their partners to deflect opinion. Like Hywel Bennett and Britt Ekland in "Endless Night".
New Music: That new Smokepurpp got lost in the mix last week but if you can get your ears off Cardi B for a minute, it's Mumble Rap at its best. (Grade: B+).
Old Music: I am happy to report that Paul McCartney's Chaos And Creation In The Backyard is as great as I remember… maybe greater.
Tickets: Harry Potter and I are at war as I try to sell the pictures I have speculated…

Gulmit was the`perfect spot' on this trip PM00000020000003831 7, 2008Posted by Mыsofer in gojal, Gojal Pakistan.
Photo: Zaffar Iqbal (http://spatialworld.multiply.com/photos/album/31/GULMIT) .
Moving along the KKH toward China, the KKH turns sharply north to enter Gojal. After crossing the river, we came to a stop in front of a monstrous glacier extending from the mountains to the river. To cross it there was a large path bulldozed, on the other side of which the buses from the north waited. This is a common efficient practice, allowing rock and snow falls to be crossed by foot with passengers trading buses.After crossing and waiting for everyone to get their things together, we rode north to Gulmit. We were to later find out that this same glacier had caused a blockage of the Hunza River in 1992 which completely cut off the valley for over a year. Along with causing extensive damage to Pasu, it was our secret wish for it to recur when we were in Gojal.
Gulmit was the `perfect spot' on this trip.
The apricot trees were just in bloom, covering the village with pink petals and a lovely fragrance. We stayed as the only guests at a place on the south end of the polo ground. Lying in the center of the main town, this gravely field serves as the pitch for the rare polo games as well as the nightly cricket matches by the village boys.
Terraced fields just sprouting and scattered houses in Gulmit. While there is a concentration of houses and a few shops near the KKH and around the polo grounds, residences surrounded by fields make up the majority of the settlement.
