Supermarkets have announced fuel price reductions after being accused of not passing on savings from lower wholesale costs.
Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons said they will cut the price of their petrol and diesel by up to 3p per litre.
Asda will implement the cut on Thursday followed by Morrisons on Friday and Sainsbury's on Saturday.
It is Asda's third petrol price reduction in less than three weeks, bringing the cost down by up to 8p per litre.
RAC fuel spokesperson Simon Williams said price cuts have been "an extremely long time coming" with petrol and diesel reaching a four-year high in recent months.
He went on: "There is finally some respite for hard-pressed diesel drivers from seemingly never-ending price rises with a sizeable but very much warranted price cut.
"The cost of buying petrol on the wholesale market has dropped like a stone so we should be looking for at least 5p to come off the average price of unleaded at the pumps.
"We believe Christmas has come early for fuel retailers this year as they have been reaping the benefits of the biggest margins on fuel the RAC has seen in almost four years."
Over the past six months, the cost of filling up a typical 55-litre family car has risen by around £6.
The average cost of petrol at UK filling stations dropped by just over 1p per litre in the past week to £1.29, according to Government figures.
Owners of diesel vehicles have been hit by price rises for 19 consecutive weeks, reaching an average of £1.37.

Part 1
Complete Guide to Ra
I wasn't satified with my contribution to the community or the site so I wrote this guide for the hell of it I'm writing this guide late at night so excuse any typo's, obvious mistakes or stupid comments because I'm finding it hard to put all my knowledge into words, I've never wrote a guide before, but anyway, try to enjoy
When I started out as a AoM/TT player I played Hades or Oranos at 1650+ level, it was only when I joined 'StR'S Cavalry' where I was introduced to the secrets and strengths behind Ra, I owe my appreciation to StR_Monte, StR_Mania and StR_Darklight for taking the time to invest in a noob. I still can't believe I was accepted into StR as a 1700er, but I owe everything I have achieved to them.
General Economic things to remember
These go for all civs:
• Always spread your sheep out around your TC to avoid villager bumping
• Remember to build your mining camp on the largest side of the mine
• Always build farms with 1 vill per farm
• keep re-building lumber camps as you cut trees down
• Get your pharoah/priest to move on the opposite side to your vills gathering rescources
• Decrease ideal villager time as long as possible
• If you are hunting around your tc and you need to garrison food and return your villagers to work, simply ring the town bell really fast.
All these insignificant things add up and really help kick off your economy.
Ra's Bonuses
• Pharaoh empowers at +25% rate
• Priests can empower
• Chariot Archers and Camels have 20% more hit points, and move 10% faster
• Monuments cost 25% less and have +20% hit points.
When the game starts we have a pharaoh, vill, priest, ect.
The pharaoh will be your most important unit and you are going to use this dude like there is no tomorrow. Accompanying him are many helpful benefits such as:
• 25% empower rate
• Increase gather rate
• Increase military production speed
• Decreases technology build time
• Decreased the construction time of buildings
• Allows you to shoot double arrows from your TC when empowered.
An empowered laborer (Pharoah empowerment) gathers rescources faster then any other villager in the game.
Collecting Rescources -
Hunt Herd Farm Wood Gold
Egypt laborer === 0.76 === 0.65 === 0.63 === 0.98 === 0.82
Empowered laborer === 0.91 === 0.65 === 0.76 === 1.18 === 0.98
The extra pharaoh empower rate is a real positive vs eggy in particular so you can take the early economical advantage, then on top of that, you can have your priests empower as well to really give your eco a head-start. At the beginning of the game I tend to get my Pharaoh to do a lap around my TC just to get an idea of your side of the map, don't worry about scouting large amounts of the map at this stage because you can get your sphinx to scout most of it before you actually need to fight or raid anyway. If you choose to go up with Ptah i wouldn't recommend scouting to deep with the wadget but using him to find some un-scouted areas around your base is safe.
The pharaoh also gives you extra favour when empowering monuments, although you need to remember that empowering the first monument (Monument to the villagers) will produce more favour then any of the other monuments, when empowered.
Probably one of the most significant benefits of empowering is the defensive bonus it gives, while empowering a TC it will shoot double arrows which is very important when defending, this also works with priests.
The chariot and camel bonus is very important in an eggy war, it makes the Ra f/h very strong and camel raids can really own norse
The monuments bonus isn't very crucial, it helps a little bit early game to get a monument up asap but it doesn't have a real effect or contribute to the game until you've build most of them.
Ra's unique god power – Rain
Rain gives a huge economy boost which gives 300% boost to your farming, 200% to your allies farming and 200% to your enemies. I find rain start to be most effective as it sets your eco up fairly well for a good f/h and you don't have to worry about villager management. This gp is also a very good GP blocker but I hate using a good gp like that unless it's a last resort. (Don't save it like Xanthor )
Hint: When laying down farms, get 1 villager to create 1 farm rather then all on a farm, this will save you some really important time.
Ra's unique technology – Skin of Rhino
This tech is incredibly cheap (50 food, 5 favour) and is a really effective tech. A standard villager has 8 attack, 25% hack, 34% piece but with the skin of rhino tech it turns your villagers into a decent military unit which is able to fend for itself against such early threats as raiding cavalry etc. Skin of Rhino gives your vills 9 attack, 47% hack and 54 % pierce. For all you illiterates out there, that's 1+ attack, + 22% hack armor and + 20 pierce armor. One thing that has to be taken into consideration is the build time for this tech, it takes 40 seconds (un-empowered) so I tend to get it when I have just hit heroic or getting it from your second tc. A must get tech in the build up to a successful defense.
Vs Atlantean
I am definately no atty killer But the most efficient way to beat an atlantean is to defend your initial gold and villagers, analyze the gold from the beginning of the game and lay down your second monument in the first age. Advance with Bast, once you've hit classic you need to build 2-3 rax and spam slingers (Axemen and spearmen are good in small numbers, these things can really hurt your eco vs atty). Now once the rax are built it's time for you to sphinx spam. Sphinx spam allows you to claim a second goldmine, atty heroes are very easy to micro on and will most likely run from a pack of 3-4 eclipsed sphinx.
Watch the JJ rec I posted - At the very bottom of this gude.
Another strat that i've seen FOX_EliteX do pretty succcesfully is getting a 2nd tc in classical (which could possibly secure a goldmine) and then fighting with rax units. He also puts Skin of Rhino to good use allowing his vills to bash down the weak atlantean TC's.
Vs Egyptian
Eggy wars are always fun for me. I recommend always F/H or 2tc semi f/h vs eggy, they are far to weak to play in classic. Scarab rush, if done well is probably the main eggy killer, but there are ways to own eggy without the help from scarabs. Eggy wars are a matter of pushing the enemy back and denying him of gold. Eggy are nothing without gold so the most important thing is to cut off his gold supply or constantly raid.
Don't be a lame booming eggy that relies on mercs to survive Eggy are an aggressive civ also.
Vs Norse
I find Norse one of the easiest civs to play against because eggy are fairly op vs them. Let's say your opponent is thor. The main threat with Thor is either their flaming weapons, or as a last resort, lamearok (Sometimes used together by ultra lame fdp's)
Vs norse an f/h is fairly easy to do, as soon as you hit heroic the best way is to mass myth units, spam wadgets like crazy. Then lay a mig down, and raid with heavy camels. You have locust as well to really hit on his eco. One thing you have to take into consideration is what rescource he can't live without. For example, if he is massing raiding cav, what's the point of hitting on his wood? You better off raiding his food hard or cutting off his gold. What i mean is, if you spot some wood vills ,you don't just walk straight past them by all means, kill whatever you can. But your initial raids should be focused on the hunt and gold on the map.
Flaming weapons is a challenge for most people, all it takes is shifting sands, a good unit combo and hack armour tech imo. Your rax units and mass mu should own their units. I like to shift alot of their army into my base or onto a cliff to even out the military advantage f/w gives him.
Lamearok. Probably the most op tech in the game, but if he is completely out of the game he will use this as a last resort, if you've played well all game it's pretty easy to defeat. You need to know what's coming at you, you need to be able to sense a rag coming and then mass rax, upgrade, tower anything! rather then procrastinating and then getting owned.
Vs Greek
I use almost the same play-style vs norse on greek except I prefer sphinx instead of wadgets. Why? because wadgets are to slow and get raped by the greek ranged hero. Heavy raiding on a greeks eco is really effective, again with locust in hand.
Some people struggle playing against f/m's, I myself had some trouble with it at one stage, unless you expect it you are probably screwed, that is why scouting is so important. When I was playing heaps of games vs chappolini I had alot of practise vs f/m's, the best ways to beat f/h are either a really fast scarab rush (8 min) or an f/m yourself with SoO and mummies to take down collosus. The main benefit of the f/m is the 'almost free' armoury techs, so probably a scarab rush is your best option.
Ra and Water?
On maps like medit, Ra can be very strong. I'' give you a BO for a 4:20 grush. (might take some practise)
Medit BO -
1 villager - Build Dock
1 villager - build granary (preferably hunt first) With pharoah empowerment
Auto fishing ships, 1 house with your dock building vill.
After you have 6 vills on food (8 food vills including fish ships) Put 3 vills to wood, you probably wondering why only 3 vills on a map where wood is so important, but 3 wood vills is enough to have 6-7 fishing ships up.
2 villagers to gold
Rest on food, don't forget a second house.
Try garrison all your food quick enough for a 4:20 (or less) advance.
Now during the transition to classical, put all your food vills onto wood (10-11) with pharoh empowerment and put some food vills to gold (5-6)
Also have 1 villager building houses and 1 villager building a second dock.
This sets you up for a agressive grush. Watch some Hellfire recs
Ra rain start f/h BO
I use this start in 95% of my games Here is a bo to help you-
DO NOT get hunting dogs when using rain start.
1 villager - build monument (pharoah empowering)
1 villager - build granary (pharoh empowering)
do a lap around your tc with your pharoah
7 vills on food in total
2 villagers to wood
1 villager to build mining camp
Research pickaxe asap
1 villager to build houses + temlple + second monument
another 4 villagers on gold (depending on the state of your food eco)
Research husbandary asap
Then the rest of your vills hunting (preferably cows or sheep around your tc so you quickly garrison, I split my food into 2 groups so I don't run fall short of food.
Once you've advance, put some villagers on gold and lay down 11 farms during the transition to classical.
Once you hit classical, rain.
I do this in most of my games so you can get some visual examples there.
Classical Age –
Some Possible classical strats?
Classic fight -
It's possible to classic fight, apparently Skipper does it a lot vs Norse but I always tend to f.h vs every civ except Atlantean. If you were to classic fight, always accompany your rax units with mass myth unit.
2tc Semi f/h –
Pretty effective vs eggy or norse on a closed map, the best way to use this strat is advance with Ptah at around 4:40-5 mins and either shift some vills +pharaoh to a forward tc or a nearby tc and build it, then research shaduf and start laying down about 15 farms.
A very easy strat to use, just get a lot of food early and during the transition to classical get half your food vills onto gold. If done correct you'll end up with a monster economy.
3 tc boom –
Monte almost mastered this strat, I've tried it a few times and never really liked the strat but if it's used effective (Shaduf + rain) ow……….
And more!
improvement- Scalloped Axe (100 food, 10 favor)
This tech is researched at the armoury and offers a 10% boost to the attack of Axemen. Unless you are playing vs an aggressive loki or zeus this tech isn't really worth it.
improvement - Leather Framed Shield (200 wood, 20 favor)
This tech is researched at the armoury and offers 10% pierce armor to spearmen, this tech is only worth it if you are planning on massing Horus spears late game.
improvement - Electum Balls (150 gold, 10 favor)
This tech gives a 10% boost to the attack of slingers, I'd make this a priority vs atlantean.
improvement - Shaduf (200 wood, 10 favor)
Arguably the best tech Ptah offers, this decreases the cost of farms from 70 gold – 47 gold which is very useful on maps such as oasis or ghost lake. I love using shaduf to2tc semi f/h (watch some TOAO_ChronoJJ recs, he does it best.
Shifting Sands
A pretty r0x0r gp which can be used a few different ways
some ways to use shifting sands
• Shift some scarabs into their tc early (works great on maps like Mediterranean where they are pouring all their efforts and resources into the water)
• Making a little square made from walls in your base. I use it to shift their heroes (particularly priests) in their while my MU do some damage.
• Or, my favourite, shifting sands their units onto cliffs so they are forced to delete them. This works great during such gp as flaming weapons
Wadget (150 wood, 15 favor)
This is an awesome defensive unit, Though it is very slow so I wouldn't recommend using it against civs like atlantean, greek or eggy The wadget will get raped by the ranged heroes where as norse have really slow heroes up until jarls and even then they can be easily micro'd on.
Part 2
improvement Sacred Cats (110 gold, 10 favor)
Apparently this "protects your villagers from vermine†according to the instruction book but this tech actually improves the productivity or your farmers. Anyway I was reading a thread over at aom.heaven and turns out they done some important testing on sacred cats – check ithttp://aom.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/...&f=1,10307,,all
improvementAdze of Wepwawet (100 gold, 10 favor)
Suppose to increase your villager gather rate for wood by 10% but I've heard some rumours it is glitchy and doesn't take full effect until you have all 3 wood upgrades (don't quote me on that).
improvement -Criosphinx (250 wood, 15 favor)
improvement – Heiracosphinx (400 wood, 20 favor)
This tech can only be researched after criosphinx and improves sphinx speed by 20%, hack attack by 20% and crush attack by 50%. I don't really use this tech often, I find the criosphinx tech to be adequate.
Eclipse is a good god power with only 2 different (obivous) ways of using it.
ways to use eclipse
• Using eclipse is pretty obvious, it gives all mu a huge boost which lasts for 1 min and 5 seconds.
• Another good use for eclipse is blocking gp's
Also, if you're up to the challenge of a classic fight with rax units (not recommended in tt) you have the chance to use 3 main units. Slingers, axemen and spearmen. These units are incredibly cheap but I only use them with backup support from my mig units and myth units.
If you haven't already defended your vills/gold up in Archaic, this is the time to start. You need to make your base un-raidable so you can safely advance to heroic, if your initial goldmine is unprotected you need to make sure you have houses, walls, anything around it! So you aren't prone to priest rushes or raids.
Right now you should analyze the gold and find a safe place to lay down your migdol. Sometimes the gold is to far away, or the enemy is camping on the gold therefore you'll need to build your mig at home. If you don't plan this in classic age you will be stuck in deep water once you hit heroic.
/end classical age
Part 3
Heroic Time
Some possible heroic strats?
Heavy Camel Raids
Really effective vs norse in particular, camels are so fast you have the freedom to raid your opponent and still have time to get back to your base to defend, I like to keep some myth unit home to defend well I raid, if complimented with locust swarm this is one more headache for your enemy. I like to raid in groupd of about 6-10, always try to keep 2 camel squads constantly moving, always go back to possible goldmines where he could be mining. When raiding, try to bring some camels infront of the villagers to block them off, continue doing this until the vills are weak enough to let your camels slaughter them.
Scarab Rush
A common strat with Ra, simply rush with 3 scarabs and a handful of units, make sure to eclipse before they get LOS of you, this way they can't use any defensive GP. Really effective vs all eggy. When you are playing vs Isis make sure you have 5-6 preists (with range upgrade) to help you against a+e, I like to bring the pharoah up to fight during scarab rush also.
Roc Raiding
The more rocs, the more effective but 2 rocs is adequate in order to really harass your enemies economy, 1 strike from each petsochos will instantly kill a villager, that's why it is advised to raid with two. If you are quick you can win the game just by using this .
And more!
improvement - Sun dried mud brick (300 wood, 25 favor)
I love this tech! This reduces the cost of your buildings by 15% and boosts the hitpoints of your buildings by 15%. It's good to get this tech as soon as possible if you advance with Hathor.
Improvement - Medjay (250 food, 25 favor)
You lame? Then you might be interested in a 30 seconds lifespan for your mercenaries! Pretty effective on maps where your tc's are far away and you want your mercs to play an offensive role.
improvement - Crocodopolis (400 wood, 30 favor)
Gives your crocs +4 range (allowing them to out-range a fortress). I think this tech is to expensive therefore, give this a miss ;P.
Myth Unit - Petsuchos (200 gold, 15 favor)
Really slow units, but they are really strong against all units and myth units. Really effective to roc raid your opponents economy with them.
Myth Unit - Roc (150 gold, 15 favor)
Probably the best transport unit in the game, these things are capable of heaps of things such as the protection of important units such as SoO, roc raiding, catapult raiding,
placing ranged units on cliffs to snipe down un-ranged units, same can work with catapults on tc's. I love rocs !
God Power - Locust Swarm
THIS TECH RAPES VILLS. Like I said about camel raiding, if this is used early and perfectly this is a match winner
part 4
Sekhmet is a vital choice especially vs Isis so you can get the pop advantage to help you contend with her opness.
improvement Bone Bow (250 wood, 20 favor)
This tech improves chariot archers range by 4 letting it out-range a tc! really awesome tech for succesful raids. Reasearched at migdol or armoury.
improvement Slings of the Sun (250 gold, 20 favor)
hmmm...not sure i've ever used this tech 11 but it gives your slingers a 30% bonus attack vs infantry units and taxmen.
improvement Ram of the west wind (400 gold, 20 favor)
Gives your siege towers 20% crush damage, this tech is a bit expensive.. I'm not sure if it's worth it, imo catas > rams.
Myth Unit Scarab (300 food, 18 favor)
my 2nd favourite unit next to sphinx, these things are so intimidating in large numbers, i scarabs.
God Power Cidatel
Really good gp, upgrades your (or allies) tc into a defensive machine! Also with the +10 pop cap you got no problem against Isis
You have 2 really powerful god choices to choose from now, Sekhmet and Hathor. If I were you I'd advance with sekhmet vs eggy and atlantean. Why? I believe that scarabs will tear down the atlantean weak buildings and hero turma are very easy to micro on. Vs eggy eclipsed scarabs can really take the emphasis off your army allowing you to micro his heroes. Vs Norse, just like my hero Hellfire does, camel raids + locust swarm are really op vs norse. Hathor is also very good for Ra roc raiding (lame but op).
Hopefully by now your eco should be superior, if you defended your villagers well in archaic.
Once you hit heroic, building a migdol becomes first priority in order to claim some gold. (If you are playing vs Odin or Thor, make sure you don't lay your mig down near forest )
Eggy are the strongest civ in heroic in my opinion. Building a mig allows you to start massing Ra chariots and camels which are very good for raids and can be micro'd easy. I don't like using elephants as Ra unless it's on a high fishing map, I find them to slow and expensive. This is a vital time to begin playing very aggressively as you have access to seven new strong units. You might wish to make a market as soon as you advance if you have any access food.
Part 5
Mythic Age
Some possible Mythic strats?
Cata Lame
I like to call it cata lame, also known as cata raid or roc drop catas. Simply load up some catapults in a roc and unload them near your opponents tc (near a cliff if possible)This will allow you to snipe down his tc and the only thing that can attempt to shoot you down is ranged units and captaputs have high pierce armour
Horus spears
Probably one of the strongest units in the game, these cheap units are also pop effective only taking up 2 pop space. FU Horus spears are really hard to counter.
Basically the Mythic age isn't a great benefit from heroic age for eggy other then ranged seige.
If you opponent is lacking archers always go Osiris so your SoO can give you a huge military advantage.
improvement - desert wind (400 gold, 40 favor)
Damn!! so expensive but so freaken op which increases camel speed and attack by 20%! Really worth while tech.
improvement - Funeral Barge (500 food, 30 favor)
This tech is fairly uselesss, only time I get it is if i'm shooting down TC's with royal war barges, this is the only bonus naval upgrade you'll get as Ra, it's a shame you get it so late. Anyway this gp gives your war barge a x2 multiplier vs archer ships. *cough * useless *cough*
improvement - New kingdom (200 gold, 25 favor)
This tech gives you a second Pharoah which is cheap for a late age tech, I use it alot. 1 pharoah on my trade and 1 helping me fend off some threatening myth units.
improvement - Atef Crown (300 gold, 30 favor)
Not a bad tech at all, this doubles the lifespan of their minions, increases their attack by 40% and their hitpoints by 20%. good for mummy spam xD
Myth Unit - Mummy (200 gold - 35 favor)
This myth unit is one of the best in the game, if you micro it properly you can kill really strong myth units such as collosus or heka giants in one shot and it spawns a minion which will fight for you !
God Power - Son of Osiris
I like having a siege tower or a roc near this dude to protect him vs archers, he is a really strong unit that can change the tide of the game.
Son of Osiris is feared by all but the main downside to him is he can't be healed with any method, and he can die to bolt in 1 shot (and will be resureccted as a normal pharoah). So it is important that you have your pharoah fully healed before casting the GP on him.
Part 6
A little birdy (Naturephoenix) once told me that relics are not exactly random and he showed me where the relics will spawn on specific maps. For example on watering hole there will be (if any) 1 relic on each side of the map
Red = Relic
Black = TC
Some people go Horus just for his tornado GP, but they are forgetting the main benefit of Horus which lies in his spearmen, these spearment are almost unstopable.
improvement - Axe of Vengence (300 wood, 25 favor)
Your axemen, with this tech now do double damage to buildings. This tech is generally not worth it as you will have some really good seige at this stage.
improvement - Greatest of fifty (300 food, 40 favor)
This tech will help you own melee units giving them an extra 15% hack armor and a 100% damage bonus vs cavalry.
improvement - Spears of the Horizon (200 gold, 25 favor)
Just when you thought your spearmen couldn't get anymore powerful try giving them another 30% hitpoints and 10% more attack! these are the invincible spearmen I was alluding too.
Myth Unit - Avenger (250 food, 30 favor)
A really expensive but really powerful melee unit, these things tear up archers like there is no tomorrow.
God Power - Tornado
A really good god power, the most efficient place to use this gp is when their military is near alot of important buildings such as migdols or town centers.
If the game is still a stale-mate in mythic age, you need to take some new measures, obviously massing units or constantly teching isn't doing the trick so you will have to try sneaky stuff to test your opponents awareness and speed. While he is microing his units why not try to shoot down his tc's with some catas? why not try to wall of his trade, why not try to raid with a handful of units. I see alot of players try to win a stalemate by massing units which clearly won't work unless you have the superior eco.
I recommend all you Ra players to stick with him, he is a very strong civ that, when used to his full potential can get you some very good skill and a sexy rating
Well, despite the headaches I had some fun writing this guide and learnt some things myself doing some tests.
Acknowledgements - I got some info about the techs from 'UKAK_Sando's' guide.

Best Ra guide I have ever seen smile.gif
Even though,I'd like to add something according to my experience.
One thing is in bishop's guide the MU cost are wrong.In AOT most MU are cheaper,as well as the sphinx upgrades.
Second is I say dont stick to a build order,or a strategy.You may need to think one step ahead of your opponents to prevail.
For example, bishop said vs norse always FH and make a midgol right after. I disagree with that.Some norse can easily beat that strategy if you do so.
Say an odin on a good hunting map.If he FH worship skadi then forward build hill fort. get RC,huskarl and ram.With odin's scout,it's easy for him to know all the gold spots.You may build your midgol by a gold spot.He use his army charge the midgol,you use your army to defend,he cast frost.Well,midgol down and your military units stream is cut.More like a GG time. In that case,you may not want to build a midgol since it's always the first target .Build some barrack instead then you wont lose the military stream and with Ra's economic,give him sometime he can outnumber the norse player.
Basicly a norse FH and charge the midgol with a heroic god power's help will screw the midgol first strategy imo.
Just my 2cents.
Sorry about the MU cost, I thought they looked wrong but I got them from an outdated book I have Let me fix now.
Also Ra vs Odin, I have to agree with you that an f/h on vanilla isn't the best thing to do due to frost, but lay down 1 or 2 rax near your mig so after frost has been used you can keep a steady mil reproduction, it's easy to garrison vills into migdols, garrison them to the other side and repair. That being said, f/h vs Odin is really easily done on tt, even with an 8:30 advance, I like to have 3 wadgets up while the mig is being built and if they bring their army to attack the mig you have shifting sands, so really I find it not a problem. (Use shifting sands during frost if you need it, try shifting their army to the other side of the map, or into a trap or cliff to buy yourself some time.)
how bout a few high hunt basic bo's in arch?
oh and possibly a small guide on perfect placement of locusts xD
High hunt BO -
6 vills food + HD + preist empowerment
2 vills wood
4-5 vills gold + pick axe
monument + temple
Second monument anytime after the first.
Adjust your food eco accordingly until you have enough food for classic
Perfect placement of locust
Obviously, the best place to use locust is to block them from safety. For example f their tc is on the left side of his vills then you cast it on the left forcing him to run into your raiding units. If you cast it directly on the vills it will give him a chance to escape.

FUN in the sun is expected when thousands of people pack Sanders Park and its surrounding areas for the annual Bromsgrove Carnival this weekend.
Temperatures in the mid-20s are expected with forecasters predicting minimal chances of rain.
The fun begins on Friday evening (July 12) with an outdoor showing of Queen film Bohemian Rhapsody.
Doors open at 8pm and there will be live music from 8.30pm, with the film starting at 9.30pm.
Admission is free but organisers are suggesting a £3 donation to charity.
Parking will be accessible from Whitford Road and will be right next to the screen, with a £2 charge, again going to charity.
The majority of the carnival festivities take place on Saturday (July 13), beginning with the spectacular carnival procession through the town and out to Sanders Park.
The parade starts at North Bromsgrove High School at noon and back by popular demand are the carnival floats.
As well as the lorries, there are marching bands and many organisations choose to enter as a walking group.
The groups represent the Bromsgrove community ranging from schools to charities, local businesses to youth groups.
In Sanders Park, Wilson's funfair will be in full swing providing thrills and excitement for those of a more daring disposition.
There is a music stage with a full programme of acts throughout the day, and a range of stalls, shows and activities.
To finish off the day, local athletes will be tackling the challenging Timberhonger 10k and children's challenge fun run.
More than 800 runners are expected to take on the races this year to be rewarded with their specially commissioned race medals and, for over-18s, a refreshing Timberhonger 10k beer.
For more information, go to facebook.com/bromsgrovecarnival.
The event is non-profit making with all proceeds being donated to local charities and good causes.
This year they will be supporting Primrose Hospice, Libby Mae's Little Angels, and the Midland Air Ambulance.

Residential Heating Repair in Waldorf, MD – Common Problems Homeowners Experience
Residential heaters are often susceptible to problems due to the fact that most people do not know how to maintain them properly. If your residential heater is causing problems and is not heating up the room properly, you may want to call a professional and get it checked. There can be a litany of different problems that may occur within a residential heater that may render the heater useless. Here are some common issues that may require residential heating repair.
Thermostat Malfunction
The thermostat is one of the most crucial components of residential heaters. It is designed to measure the temperature of the water within the heater and turn off the heater when the water reaches a particular temperature. You will need to call a professional company that offers residential heating repair in Waldorf, MD in order to get the thermostat checked and repaired. Because it is such a delicate component, it can get damaged quite easily. When you call any local Waldorf residential heating repair company, you can explain the problem to them and they will send over an experienced technician to repair the heater for you.
Pilot and Burner Issues
Over time, the pilot and the burner may start causing issues as well. If you have a gas heater, this is a very common problem that you may face after a year or two. Rather than tinkering with the heater by yourself, it's better to call a residential heating repair company and let them handle the issue. Tinkering with the heater is a bad idea unless you have professional knowledge of the heater and the different components inside. In some cases, these components may have to be completely replaced for the heater to function properly.

Archaeological Desk Based Assessment (DBA)
What is it?
A Local Authority may request an Archaeological Desk Based Assessment (DBA), sometimes known as an Historic Environment DBA, in response to a planning application where additional information is required before a decision is made.
The DBA will specifically assess the potential and significance of the archaeological (i.e. buried) resource within a site.
A DBA may also be commissioned by a client in advance of land purchase or planning application to assess the archaeological implications of a site.
In all cases, an assessment will indicate the likelihood and level of heritage constraints that may arise within the proposed development.
What does an Archaeological Desk Based Assessment (DBA) involve?
An Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment is a Heritage report. Our highly experienced Heritage Consultants will quickly consult historic archives, assess and identify heritage constraints, and submit the information in a report to the client.
Available and relevant information included within the report may include the following:
– Consultation of the local Historic Environment Record (HER)
– Targeted documentary research consulting available and relevant historic maps and documents
– Site visit to identify potential archaeology within the site (if visible)
– Assessment of identified archaeological assets within the site
– Recommendations for further work if necessary and appropriate
What Happens Next?
The DBA is submitted with other planning documentation and based on the response from the local council, a further programme of fieldwork may be required (or not, as the case may be).

From the barter system and Hundies predating 18 century India to the crisp bank notes and smartcards of today, the banking system has come a long way.
The currency note for its part has undergone several transformations to evolve as a reliable financial instrument.
The motifs and designs on currency notes are chosen carefully to reflect a certain philosophy of the era. Over time, the image of Mahatma Gandhi has become a fixture on one side of the note while on the other side the images keep changing from that of the Parliament, the Himalayas, a farm tractor or a collage of animals - a tiger, hippopotamus and elephant.
A section of civil society has questioned this and is demanding that the image of Babasaheb Ambedkar, who drafted the Constitution of India, should also be embossed on currency notes.
One of the earliest images to be used on a currency note was that of a vignette of a female figure reclining on a bench on the quayside. Republic and British India imprinted images of Lords, statues of Mountstuart Elphinstone and John Malcolm and images of governors such as Sir Thomas Munroe, the Governor of Madras.
When the colonisers left the country, symbols for an independent India had to be chosen. "At the outset it was felt that the King's portrait be replaced." The Lion Capital at Sarnath was chosen through consensus and in 1953 Hindi was displayed prominently on the new notes. In 1969 a commemorative design series in honour of the birth centenary celebrations of Gandhi was issued depicting a seated Gandhi with the Sevagram Ashram as the backdrop. The 1980s saw a completely new set of notes issued. The motifs on these notes marked a departure from the earlier motifs. Emphasis was laid on symbols of science and technology (Aryabhatta on the Rs 2 note), progress (the oil rig on Re 1 and farm mechanisation on Rs 5) and a change in orientation to Indian art forms on the Rs 20 and the Rs 10 notes (Konark wheel, peacock). For a nation obsessed with personalities, it might have been wiser to continue with this series of notes but it was not done so. In 1987, the Rs 500 note was introduced with the portrait of Gandhi while the water mark continued to be the Lion Capital, Ashoka Pillar.
It was only in meetings held in 1993 and 1994, that the recommendations to print the portraits of Gandhi in the water-mark area and on the right side of the banknote were made in terms of resolutions passed by RBI's Board of Directors. This was then approved by the Finance Ministry and in 1996 a Gandhi series was launched that continues to this day.
The Reserve Bank of India, the only authority to print currency notes in the country, states on its website that its notes reflect the changing socio-cultural ethos and the world-view of the times, "buccaneering mercantilism, colonial consolidation, domineering imperialism, the grandeur of empire, to the symbols of National Independence followed up by allegories of progress and finally in the latest series, reminiscing Gandhian values."
On September 24, this year -- Poona Pact Day -- a roundtable conference was held in the Capital demanding that Ambedkar's image also be imprinted on currency notes.
"Throughout the country, statues of Ambedkar are being vandalised. Somewhere they break the hand, sometimes the nose and sometimes the head. But if we print Ambedkar's face on Rs 1000 note, then nobody will tear it. Like this, we can maintain our dignity," said Dalit Pandiyan, National Convenor, Dalit Liberation Movement who has been spearheading the movement since few years now.
Leila Passah, General Secretary of YWCA – India said that Ambedkar would have gone beyond putting his image on currency notes but talking of dignity and rights of Dalits, she said the need of the hour was to agitate in whichever way possible.
"People are no longer listening to our dharnas or rallies in Jantar Mantar. The bill or the note is not the main issue here. We are fighting for the values instilled by Ambedkar. He fought for social justice for all regardless of where they come from. The constitution provides safety and dignity to all," said Leila. Citing the recent cases of violence against Dalit women in the hinterland especially Haryana, she said that Ambedkar had challenged the legal system and turned the wheel of law as far as women were concerned.
A Right to Information query has revealed that there are close to 50 individuals and organisations that have requested that images of other national leaders on currency notes.

Are Friends More Important Then Family Essay
In our daily lives, we socialize with a lot of people, because we have been evolved to cooperate with our species in needs of survival against extreme weather and wild carnivores. generally, in our social life, we are personally closest to two groups of humans : families and friends. Families are the group of humans who shared genetic material with us such as: father,mother,brothers,sister,wife,and son.naturally, family is the most important group of humans to me,because of default characteristics of human genes. Too, because i have a lot of great moment with them.For instance, i remember a moment when we went to a beach and have a lot of fun with them. Also, the one that i most remember, when we are struggling together in poor economic condition Friends are the group of humans outside of family and personally close to us .I have a lot of friends from when i was in junior highschool until now in university.But, from all of them i feel closest to my friends from senior high school.Because, like with my families, i have a lot of good moment with them too. For example, the one i would never forget, we always make a joke about our teacher in the class. Moreover, we also have fought together against students from another school. However, besides my love to my friends, my first priority is my family.For instance, if at the same time i have to choose between hangout together with my family and hangout with my friends, i will gladly choose to hangout with my family.

Roulette Variations
The game of roulette had changed very little throughout the course of history; with only minor differences such as the house having a better edge. As far as the records are concerned, there are three major types of roulette. American roulette features 38 numbers total (1-36, 0 and 00). European and French roulette don't have the extra house number '00' – giving them a total of 37 numbers. If you think that these differences are miniscule and don't really change the overall overtone of the game, think again. European casinos are much more lax when it comes to odds, having only a 2.7% house edge; whereas American casinos, having one more house number, have a whopping 5.26% house edge. Let us look at these separately, and see some of the key differences between these two branches of roulette.
French Roulette
This is practically where it all began. Roulette was played on the streets of Paris for nearly two centuries now, and the rules of the game haven't changed much since. The key difference between French and European roulette is the layout. The most important thing to know when playing French Roulette is that there is only one house number – 0. You should look out for this number, for even if you didn't bet on it, there are certain rules that can get you out of trouble.
En Prison – This is a special rule that applies to an even bet (bets that pay 1 to 1, like red/black, odd/even, high/low). If the ball lands on zero, you can 'imprison' your bet until the next spin. If you then guess correctly, you get to keep only half of your winnings. If you don't win, the bet is gone. If by any chance the ball once again lands on zero, the bet can be 'double imprisoned' or lost, depending on the casino. Some high-end casinos might even let the bet ride until something else than zero comes up.
La Partage – This rule has very much to do with en prison. When an even bet is placed, and the ball lands on zero, the player gets half his bet back.
Surrender – This is the American equivalent of La Partage. This rule is very much suited for American style roulette, for it lowers the house edge from 5.26% to 2.7%.
European Roulette
As soon as the game was introduced outside France, its popularity and fandom jumped exponentially. European gambling aficionados liked this "little wheel" the French had invented, and soon enough establishments all over the continent joined it to share the fun. The original "French" design was revamped, giving it a more (English) universal visage. But even if the overall design of the layout had changed, the rules of the game stayed pretty much the same. European casinos outside France might be reluctant to give players La Partage, and sometimes even En Prison! This raises the overall house edge by about 1.3%, but again, this is more up to the casino than the roulette style itself.
American Roulette
If French and European roulette resemble identical twins; then American roulette would be like a distant cousin. And I am not talking about the rules alone; rather the whole manner by which the game is treated by casino enthusiasts, but first things first. American roulette differs from French and European roulette by having one extra house number – the infamous 00. This doubles the house edge, raising it to 5.26 %. This might not seem like much, but spread through the course of a decade, this extra number can save a casino millions. If you live in the United States, be sure to find a casino with French/European tables. You might want to try the Las Vegas Strip (and not Atlantic City). Another interesting fact surrounding American roulette, is that there is no tool by which to collect the chips. In European style roulette, the croupier would use a small, extendable spade/rake like tool to gather all the chips. In the United Stated, the dealer has to take all the chips by hand.
Differences in Game Style
Usually when the house has such a big chance of winning, playing risky is not the way to go. American players should be focusing on outside bets and low-paying inside bets. European style players have the benefit of a much lower house edge, so naturally a more daring approach would be advised.

Of course with rules like La Partage, where the house edge % is dropped in half, betting on even numbers is too a great way to play. If we have to compare French and European roulette with American roulette, the main difference is in the probabilities.

The Gift…
This past Christmas my sister-in-law, Festival Nomad Correspondent Supreme (she made me add that!), Carol Law, gave me a "Word of the day" calendar. I'm not sure if she was trying to help me improve my vocabulary or was trying to tell me something else. No matter what the reason, the calendar has given me much food for thought! Here's an example, March 28th word was "Tizzy ~ a very excited and mixed up state of mind". An appropriate word for me at this time of year, because I get all "excited" at the thought of spring and all that it brings… flowers, warmth (I hope), rebirth, leaves and the list goes on. It also signals the time that Judi and start planning the upcoming year's adventures! With this in mind, I must make a confession! I peeked at future words! I know that I shouldn't have, but I'm glad I did (Don't judge me). On the April 5th page I found the perfect word for what Judi and I were about to do… "Peruse ~ to examine or consider with attention and in detail: study". Yikes, that's exactly what Judi and I do to plan for the festivals, events and communities we want to visit in the future. Fortunately, these days the Internet allows us to research (peruse) even the smallest details. When you plan on visiting 40 to 50 venues in a fairly short time, research is the key. For anyone who loves to visit festivals, event and communities, I would definitely recommend "perusing" the Internet. So, that's my April "word". Who knows what "words" future months or days will bring! Who knows, it could be a word like "Bluster" or "Truculent"! I'll let you know as time marches on. Thanks Carol for "The Gift" that keeps on giving!
"Visiting the scenic Village of Belfountain on the Forks of the Credit."
Over the years, Judi and I have visited hundreds of Ontario communities. Some are small hamlets and villages, while others are part of larger towns and cities. However, they all have one things in common, they represent the fabric of the people who reside there. That's why community events are so important. They give residents a sense of pride and belonging and they give visitors the opportunity to discover the community and its people. It doesn't matter how large or small the event, the effects are the same. That's why I am encouraged when I see so many local community leaders support, both financially and more importantly volunteering, events that take place in their community. Volunteers make each community special. Judi and I had the opportunity the other day to talk to a lady who volunteers at her community's fair. She told us how much so enjoyed volunteering and that she had been doing it all her life. Right now, she's in charge of the Men's Pie Baking Challenge. She told us that last year they auctioned off the Men's Pies and that they raised over $2,000 last year… amazing! She mentioned that 2017 marked their fair's 150th anniversary. Coincidently, the same year that Canada became a nation! Image, 150 years of tradition, thousands of volunteers, each making the community a better place to live. It breaks my heart when I see well-meaning, but misinformed politicians, not doing everything they can to help organizers make their event successful, no matter the size. Support doesn't have to come in just dollars, it could come in the form of the use of town land, or of including the event on the town's website. Some help is better than no help! The more successful an event, the better for the town and its residents. Also, I believe that smaller events can showcase a community just as much as larger events. As I have mentioned in past articles, Judi and I will be looking for unique places to travel to and visit. Hopefully, along the way, we will discover exciting and unique communities, ones that we have not visited before! The photos on both side columns show some of the communities we have experienced.
"A community within a community... the ByWard Market in Ottawa."
Festival Nomad's Report…
In my previous article I spoke about communities and the important of Volunteers. This month these amazing community supporters are recognized through National Volunteer Week, April 12 -18. April is also important for volunteers because this is the month when most summer committees start rolling up their sleeves to finalize event plans. In February, Agricultural Fair volunteers met at their annual Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies (OAAS) to update themselves through convention seminars. The theme of this year's event was "Fabulous Family Fun" and I am sure that that is what you will experience when you visit your favourite Fair this year! In March, Festivals and Events Ontario (FEO) held annual convention in Niagara Falls. Volunteers from throughout Ontario gathered to celebrate last year's events and earn about "what's new" for the future. This year's theme, "Let the Inspiration Flow", emphasized the vitality of Ontario festivals and events. FEO also introduced their Top 100 Festivals and Events list. If you'd like to see which events have been included, you can click HERE.
Of course, spring committees will already have their plans in place and will be holding their collective breaths for the big day(s) to come. Judi and I are already looking forward to climbing out of are winter clothes and donning our "Festival Regalia"! The month of April features a variety of festivals and events. You can visit both our Ontario Event Calendar and our Ontario Event Finder for more information. Don't forget that we are continually updating both of these services, so please feel free to search them frequently. As I have mentioned in the past, if you know of any events that are not shown on one of these websites, please let me know and I will make sure that they are included. If it's Maple Syrup Festivals, Spring Tours, Poetry Readings and Easter Egg Hunts, April is the month to gather up your family and friends, put on you "Festival Regalia" and head out to one or more Ontario communities and enjoy "Fabulous Family Fun" and become "Let the Inspiration Flow"! See you on the road, and don't forget to invite a senior to have fun with you!
NOTE ~ Judi and I would like to welcome back Joe Corrigan to the Lang Pioneer Village Museum Team! We hope to see you soon.

National Volunteer Week ~ "Volunteers Are Part of the Ripple Effect"
Article by Festival Nomad Correspondent, Carol Law (Owner, VolunteersCan)
National Volunteer Week takes place, April 12th to 18th... Remember to thank a Volunteer!
National Volunteer Week is April 12-18! Volunteers are part of the ripple effect like a stone thrown in a lake: its effect has a direct impact. At the same time, like ripples, volunteer efforts reach-out far and wide to improve and strengthen our communities and make our country vibrant.
Celebrate National Volunteer Week by committing to take action to renew your volunteer investment in your community.
- Make a commitment to renew your volunteer support this spring. Check in with your Volunteer Coordinator where you volunteer to see if there are new opportunities. Renewing your contact and commitment to volunteering will reenergize and strengthen the organization you volunteer with.
- Create your own "ripple" story. Share it with your organization. You will be amazed at how far your efforts help. For example; volunteering at a food bank 2 hours once every two weeks. Here is how it ripples:|
You help the food bank meet its mission ~ the donors to the food bank are more invested in the food bank as it reaches more people because they have help to organize the food ~ the media does a story on the increase in donations so more donations of time and money follow ~ you mention how great you feel with your contribution to the success of the food bank ~ the team at work organizes a food drive ~ the food you helped organized goes to someone who now has hope ~ they decide to give back by helping at a local community dinner ~ the dinner helps someone feel cared for ~ they in turn find a way to care for others….. Your 2 hours every 2 weeks has engaged easily over 50 people in the community. This is how communities are strengthened. The time you give is valuable in countless ways!
- While you are renewing your commitment don't forget to ensure that if one is required, your police screening is current. Many organizations require some level of police screening. They also differ in the cycle for renewal. As police screenings take time to process which might interrupt your volunteer work, take the time to check to see if your screening is due soon.
- Look for National Volunteer Week celebrations in your community. Attend one and get to know others who are committed to strengthening your community.
Whatever you do to celebrate National Volunteer Week know that you are an important part of your community in more ways than you realize.

Reflections of the Past ~ Across Canada Visited
A few years ago, I wrote several Blog articles describing a trip that Judi and I took across Western Canada. 2015 will mark the 25th anniversary since we took that trip. Although we didn't know it then, it was the start of our "love affair" with exploring and discovering Canada's great "Adventures". As we enter our 9h year of reporting on Ontario communities and events, I thought that I would share another of our "Across Canada Visited" adventures.
ACROSS CANADA … Vancouver
In Vancouver we had a full schedule of meetings arranged. Our first was with the Vancouver Aquarium. The Vancouver Aquarium is spectacular above ground, but underneath it is something very special! After completing our meeting, we were treated to tour the Aquarium "below"! This area is the "heart" of the Aquarium and what allows it to be the fabulous facility it is! It is hard to imagine how the staff manages to keep everything working so well! To Judi and me it seemed to be a labyrinth of pipes and corridors, of dials and wheels; to the workers, it was "home". That night we camped at Fort Langley and then returned to Vancouver. This time to visit the Stanley Park Zoo and then the Vancouver Museum. Both facilities were wonderful to visit and the staff at each made sure that we had a complete tour. It was now time to leave Vancouver and head back to Calgary. The "Queen" was waiting for us! We traveled back through the Rockies at the southern end of the Province, passing through Kelowna on the way. This is a wonderful part of British Columbia and one that Judi and I would like to explore more thoroughly in the future. Traveling along the Rocky Mountain highways is always an adventure! The beautiful scenic mountains, the magnificent valleys and, the wildlife are all spectacular! You never know what you are going to see! This trip there were mule deers, pronghorns, birds of all types and mountain goats. We stopped at Revelstoke to talk to a store buyer and then stayed in Field to camp for the night. Eventually we reached Calgary and back to our friends Dick and Melody. As before, we were greeted with much enthusiasm! It was now time to enjoy Calgary and to earn our keep!
ACROSS CANADA … The Pacific Rim
Once we had thoroughly explored Chemainus, we continued up island to Namino where we took the highway that would take us across the island to the Pacific Ocean. The trip across the island is very interesting. The only main town you pass is Port Alberni. It seems to appear all of a sudden, in the middle of nowhere! Along the way we passed through old growth forests with their famous giant trees. The road actually passes through one of these mammoth trees in Cathedral Grove! The middle of the island is lush and green. As we neared the western side of the island, the terrain became more mountainous. When we passed through many of the hills were barren of trees. A forest fire had ravaged the forest. Someone told me that although it looked awful, it would fairly quickly reforest itself. Nature is a wonderful thing, birth and re-birth! Coming down from the hills and overlooking the Pacific Ocean is awe inspiring! Judi and I marveled at the sight. The west side of Vancouver Island is very isolated and has only two major towns, Torfino and Ucluelet. In the middle of both towns is Long Beach, part of the Pacific Rim National Park. This is a wonderful natural park with white sandy beaches reaching into the sea. Off the shore are a group of small islands that are the home of many sea animals! Sea Lions were clearly visible from the shore! I must tell you, it was very hard to leave this magnificent place! But leave it we reluctantly did, and followed the same route we had come in. Back in Namino, we boarded the ferry, ready for our trip to Horseshoe Bay and then Vancouver.
"Walking on the beach at the Pacific Rim National Park."
ACROSS CANADA … Up Island
I think Victoria is one of the most beautiful cities in North America. It still retains its "Old British" charm! Tea at the Empress Hotel is a must, especially if you have any "British blood"! When we arrived on Vancouver Island we drove straight to Victoria. We were early enough to spend an hour or so sight-seeing. Victoria is a very expensive place to stay! So we decided to drive a short distance out of town to the Village of Sooke. There was a camp ground in Sooke that suited us and our needs. That night we had a fabulous meal at a Chinese Canadian restaurant. I don't think that I have had a better meal! The next day we spent exploring Victoria and the Foot Rodd Hill Historic Park. Refreshed after a relaxing day, we packed up the van and started off towards "Up Island". The trip takes you along the Malahat Highway. It is a spectacular trip and one well worth taking. There are several interesting towns along the way, but the one I was looking forward to was Chemainus. I had first visited this interesting town twenty years before and was anxious to see how it had changed. It has an interesting history. A few years before my first visit it had been a lumbering town with one main employer. The employer decided to shut the mill down and let all its employees go. Most towns facing this type of challenge would "fold up" and fade away. Not Chemainus! Some enterprising residents suggested that they hire several artists to paint murals on the sides of many of the buildings throughout the town. Each artist was instructed to paint an accurate painting of historical life in the area, but were to include one small inaccuracy in the scene. Once the murals were completed (with inaccuracies) the town offered a reward to visitors if they could identify all the inaccuracies. They offered a sizeable reward to the first person who could identify them all. Word spread about this unique contest and people "flocked" to the town. It has now become one of the most successful communities on the island. Artists, seniors and business people have chosen it as a great place to live! It's known as "The Little Town That Did"!

We did our usual this May bank holiday week just gone and travelled back to the Lake District for our annual getaway in a cottage. I wanted to blog about this holiday last weekend but I've been working hard on my units on my Forest School Level 3 training. Earlier this week I sent off units 2,3 and 4 for assessment and if they all pass then it's just unit 5 to go for my certificate. With each assignment being roughly 1,000 words (including my notes) it does take up a lot of time.
Anyway, back to the holiday. For a couple years now we have travelled to the Lake District, each time spending the week in a different part of it – so far, Keswick twice, Ambleside, Borrowdale and this year was Ullswater.
Our choices are decided upon several things, the environment around the location, the mountains, the amenities but most importantly where we can get a reasonably priced cottage that accepts a dog (and has great garden fencing) and for two people, so Ullswater it was.
I found a nice little place with a nice name "The Bothy" at High House Farm in a place called Watermillock with Cumbrian Cottages.
It was just so lovely, very cosy for two and we loved being able to keep the door open and Bailey being free to roam in the enclosed garden area outside (he can't do this where we currently live)… not that he did, he prefers to be close to us but I'm sure, given time, he would have used the area more to relax in.
We decided to explore the area straight away and found a National Trust car park near the water which [sadly] delighted as, as parking in the Lake District can be expensive (often £6-8 for a "full day" when you only want a couple of hours) but as NT members it was free – so we visited the lakeside often!
This time I remembered to pack my 'shorty' wetsuit for a swim and it was FREEZING (at least to begin with). The water was cold on the surface but warm beneath which was an odd sensation as I'm very much used to warm surface seawater, not the other way round!
The lake is the second largest in the Lake District with a length of 9 miles, 0.75miles wide and depth of 60 metres! You certainly felt the 'drop off' just a few metres from the shore – the GoPro captured the drop perfectly.
We had a lot of fun. One of the things I've always wanted to do properly was to swim with Bailey on a still lake. He's not comfortable with the surf and I've never fancied getting in some of the dirty rivers nearby with him… so this was literally a 'dream come true', but, Bailey didn't know how to act whilst we were in the water – he's not used to it – so would swim out to us, use us as something to push himself off and swim back to the shore; if we went out too far he'd stand and cry for us to come back and tried to get back in the water but then would head back to shore again. I aim to swim more with him so he's used to us being in the still water with him.
If you want to see his little legs swimming have a look at the video – it's so cute.
We had a wander up a fell nearby to our place one evening – Little Mell Fell (meaning "Bare hill") which is 505 m/1,657 ft high (NY423240). What is unique about the fell is that it is composed of the Mell Fell Conglomerate, a sedimentary rock formed from deposits of sand and gravel in alluvial fans and braided river channels in a desert environment – which can only be found on this fell and the nearby Great Mell Fell.
One of the things I really really really wanted to do whilst we were here (and may have persuaded me to book to cottage here) was the long distance Ullswater Way Walk – a 20-mile route around Ullswater passing through Howtown, Glenridding and Pooley Bridge (taking in Gawborrow Fell on route).
The Ullswater Way is recognised as a 'long distance route' by the Long Distance Walkers Association, I'd love to walk more of their routes in the future – I enjoy long distance walking and have set a 100KM as a personal goal!
We heard that most people walk this route in two halves, from Glenridding to Pooley Bridge, then leave Pooley Bridge to Glenridding for another day – we decided to give it a go all in one day and why not? It was sunny and we wanted the challenge!
So we started in the morning from Glencoyne car park (free parking!!) and made our to Aira Force...
The route is easy to follow in this first section, we were close to the road so Bailey had to be on a lead but the moment we got to the waterfalls and fell he was off lead and loving it.
Gowbarrow Fell (meaning "Windy Hill" 481 m/1,578 ft NY408219 ) is a popular low fell, as it's close to Aira Force and sits on Airy Crag. Owned by the National Trust the paths are easy to follow to get here and the views are lovely.
The route from here to Pooley bridge was lovely, passing on the low ground beneath fells, through fields, passing "The Bothy" and through woodland, we reached the popular Pooley Bridge at lunch time where we enjoyed a nice sit down to eat ice cream, drink sugary Colas and read the sign about the temporary bridge and 2016's storm Desmond.
The walk from Pooley Bridge could go either up a fell and claim another Wainwright or along the lakeside – we opted for the lower route to get Bailey in the water as much as possible as it was a hot day – plus, the walk should be as enjoyable for him as it is for us and anyone that knows Bailey knows how obsessed he is with water!
I did find the second part of this walk the nicer side but mainly because we were closer to the lake rather than walking through fields.
The route took use via Howtown where we could have opted to catch a ferry back to Glenridding. At just after Pooley bridge that Terry was experiencing pain in his hips and legs so I took his (heavy!) bag from him to relieve the pressure and walked with it for the last 6 or 7 miles left. We were slow going but it meant more time to appreciate the wonderful views in front of us…
The last few miles are always hard going, especially if you're like me and miscalculate where you are on the map and assume you are much much further ahead than you really are! Argh!
Still, we carried on via Glenridding back to the car park and back home for a much needed rest! My Garmin recorded 41.4km with 52K+ steps!!
Terry surprised me with the 'free' badge you can purchase to say you've done the walk… as I presented him with his badge as I'd purchased ours secretly ready to present once completed! Great mind think alike! Even Bailey got his own badge which is pinned to his running harness to show off to others!
We had a day of rest afterwards to sooth Terry's (and Bailey's) legs. He'd picked up an injury so we wrapped his split paw in cream and vet wrap (it didn't stay on for very long mind) and went shopping instead in Ambleside, Keswick and Grasmere (love the art gallery here!)
When we had sufficiently recovered, we decided to walk up Blencathra. I don't know what it is about this mountain but I find it very enticing and have wanted to walk up it this visit (I heard there is a film documentary about it which I will watch when I get around to it), so off we went. On route to the summit we did some timing/distance navigation practise on steep ground to aid us with our navigation calculations, whcih was fun.
When we made it to Blencathra summit (868 m/2,848 ft NY323877) there were beautiful views all around this lovely mountain – Blencathra is derived from the Cumbric elements *blain 'top, summit' and cadeir 'seat, chair', meaning 'the summit of the seat-like mountain'.
I took a video of the fantastic views from the summit point:
As it was windy we decided on Doddick Fell for our descent (I'd opted for Scale Fell). The video below shows the Blencathra summit and the fells descending from it.
Even though Doddick Fell would not have been my first choice of descent (as I prefer gradual) and even though I had tired aching legs at the end of it I'm glad we did it and would highly recommend it to anyone. We'd vowed to come back and walk all the 6 fells that make up the Blencathra ridgeline one day.
The rest of the week was just resting really and going on shorter, interesting walks. We decided to head out to Whinlatter to explore this forest a couple of fells nearby – most notably Lord's Seat and Barf fell (When a fell is called "Barf" it'll be rude not to go take a wander up it! I had to "bag" it just for the name!). The heavy rains were due in in the afternoon so felt we could walk these in the morning before the rains came.
Lord's Seat is a nice low fell at 552 m/1,811 ft (NY204265) in height and at its summit is just some bricks and the remains of the metal fencing that once extensively covered this area. I even took a little view of the views from the fell….
Next was "Barf" Fell (468m/1535ft NY216267) The name is thought to be a derivative of "burgh" (lol). The views from the summit of Skiddaw are great – when we stood on top we could see the summit of Skiddaw hidden in clouds – our last trip out to Skiddaw was the same, covered in clouds!
That's pretty much it for the week. As always, it went too soon and there wasn't enough time to do everything we wanted to do. It was barely a blink before we were back to work and it doesn't seem like a week has gone by since we were there. At the moment it is exam season at the school I work out and it has been stressful and tiring, I think I need another holiday to relax!

Mumbai's crowded local trains will now have television sets. The Central Railway (CR) has mega plans to get them installed in all 80 electric trains that ferry 40 lakh passengers.
The TVs are to run programmes like quiz shows, popular comic as well as railway-related and public service messages.
"We already had them in 10 trains and now want to try and install them in all 80. We have called for proposals. Let's see what the response is like," senior divisional commercial manager (CR) Atul Rane said. "The basic idea is to run infotainment and quiz programmes that would be uploaded through the Internet on running trains."
CR hopes to provide good infotainment to its commuters and earn significant revenue through this project.
Speaking on the safety of the TV sets in trains, railway officials said they will be encased in metal boxes and welded to the interiors to make them theft-proof.
The idea of introducing TVs in local trains was first materialised by the Western Railway in March 2007 after passengers of Shatabdi Express enjoyed a customised entertainment system on board.
There are 29 12-car trains at Sanpada in Navi Mumbai, 13 at the Kurla car shed and 38 at theKalwa car shed and sources said the cost of the project is around Rs3 crore

When you really go deep into it, what are your judgments and opinions on MONEY, the fuel of freedom?
You have to be able to release yourself from all the judgments, misconceptions and negative assumptions on money in order for you to be absolutely free to make more of it for yourself, and as a result become FREE.
People would be surprised how many bad impressions they do have on money. Here is a list where I tried to go as deep as possible. Consider them all.
If you don't, you are not capable of controlling the best synonym for freedom, the $$$. You have to know the most vital parts of it in order to be able to control it.
You should be able to answer to every single one of these as truthfully as possible. If you don't know the answer, search for it and try to find as empirical and positive answer as possible.
When you have realized that some of your attitudes towards money comes from X, acknowledge it and try to change it into an attitude which liberates you from your chains.
Take your time.

Many Waterloo school teachers will enjoy their first wage increases in a couple of years thanks to a new union contract adopted Thursday.
The Waterloo Board of Education approved a three-year contract with the Waterloo Education Association by a 4-0 vote. Board president Brian Pusateri abstained because his wife is a teacher at Waterloo Elementary School.
The contract -- which runs from July 1 through June 30, 2016 -- includes wage increases for each of its three years: a 0.75-percent increase the first year and a 1-percent increase for each of the following two years.
Read previous coverage: Waterloo names Matthew Montgomery as next superintendent
Overall, association president Thora Green said she's satisfied with the new contract.
"We always feel that being the lowest paid in the Summit-Portage area that you could get a little bit more, but we are always aware of the fact of the financials of the district, and we try to work within that," Green said. "We would've liked to see more, but we realize, too, in the same sense, that times are still tough for people."
Read previous coverage: Voters approve Waterloo school levy
She said the union represents about 77 teachers in the Waterloo School District.
The new contract also includes a modified teacher-grading scale now consistent with the Ohio's Teacher Evaluation System (OTES), which "will provide educators with a richer and more detailed view of their performance, with a focus on specific strengths and opportunities for improvement," according to the Ohio Department of Education.
Health care contributions were unchanged. Green said policy premiums underwent a "big overhaul" two years ago to increase some out-of-pocket expenses.
"There were not any health concession talks during this one, but that's because we've done that already for the district to save money," she said.
Green said the wage increases are particularly significant considering the district's base-wage freeze for the past three years.
"No one was out to break the bank, but in the same sense, our teachers definitely deserved this for their hard work," Green said
In the past two years, Green said teachers voluntarily gave up their salary step increases -- something Superintendent Matthew Montgomery said was "monumental" for the southern Portage County school district during its time of financial hardship.
He referenced how Waterloo residents approved an emergency 5.9-mill operating levy in February, which saved the district from a financial deficit. He said the wage increases approved Wednesday reflect a balance of teacher support and fiscal responsibility.

Pickle Jar Communications commissioned me to design a four page flyer promoting their 2019 ContentEd conference. They wanted the design to capture the explosion of colour and ideas at the heart of the event.
I designed a layout which presented the copy in a logical order. This was important to make the information clear to read and understand. I then arranged the speaker profiles in a lively grouping centre stage within the design, and emphasised the booking information by enlarging this section of the text and placing it over a dynamic background shape derived from the arrow motif. The full colour palette of the brand is used.
The back of the flyer is a full-page advert for Pickle Jar Communications, and uses their own distinct branding.

Contemporary Microfiction
It was spring now, and he was still angry. How could God let this happen? It didn't make any sense, and there was no good that could come out of it. The only thing that kept him from drowning himself in alcohol, was that she had been killed by a drunk driver. It had been three months now since the funeral, and the pain was too much, it was endless, and he thought he might die.
He pulled back the curtain from the living room window, and looked at the beach. From seven stories up, he could see for miles, and the horizon seemed to echo his thoughts about an eternity of pain. Then he noticed a couple walking parallel with the waves, along the beach, holding hands. He closed the curtain quickly.
People meant well, including his father, who had sent him here to get his head together. He needed to get out of town anyway, get some fresh air. No matter where he was though, he was miserable. He went to the grocery store that afternoon, hoping to lose himself in the routine. Should he go out to dinner tonight? And maybe later go to the Purple Haze Café? No that was out. He would cook up a vegetable omelet, without the mushrooms, and stay at the condo.
For the next two days he avoided the beach. He stared at the walls, and sometimes watched TV. He knew he was being stupid, but he needed time to think. How could he live without Susan? He tried the curtain in the living room again, and as he looked out, he had to admit it was beautiful.
Instead of fixing himself dinner that evening, he went down in the elevator, and out the condo door, to the sand and the waves. No wonder he had resisted coming out here. He hadn't wanted comfort and peace, and here it was now staring him in the face. He started taking deep breaths. Why was it nature was like this? Offering what he didn't have, and what he needed?
Instead of sitting down, he decided to walk, close to the waves. He took off his shoes, and couldn't help but notice the freedom, of his own bare feet. He walked, thinking about how he could straighten himself out. Should he try yoga? Therapy? His father thought so. He hated the idea though of talking to a stranger, somebody who was qualified simply from a college degree. No, not that. He walked for miles, losing track of the time. He did actually pray some, well a little. All he said was, "You'll have to help me with this one." "This is too much to carry, way too much." And that was it, that's all he said.
As he walked back, towards the condo, for some reason he thought of going to church. His mother would love that! He had not been in years. Was there a Catholic church around here? He would find out. Tomorrow was Sunday after all. Maybe after the service he could talk to the priest. He could ask him….well he could ask him…..about forgiveness. He felt like he was digging himself out of a deep pit, but at least he was making the effort.
Blessings to everyone and PEACE!
