There are times for special occasion dinners, there are times for travelling to an obscure outer borough to finally try that place you've been meaning to get to for the past three years, and there are times when you have to swallow down whatever that was served at that experimental supper club. But we're guessing that more than any of those, your dinners out are of the casual mid-week variety. In these cases, you want a place that's easy to get into, that's affordable, that serves great food, and which will get you home in time for your self-inflicted 10 pm curfew so you can plough through a few more episodes of whatever you're currently watching.
Here's a round-up of some of our go-to spots, mostly central and easily accessible by tube, that will allow you to grab something on a Wednesday night without dropping too big a wad of cash.
the spots
Monty's DeliShoreditch
227 Hoxton St
Sometimes, after a strenuous day of color-coding spreadsheets, all you want to do is eat some excellent meats placed between two slices of bread. At Monty's Deli in Hoxton, they serve a pastrami sandwich that lives up to New York standards. The chicken noodle soup is also a winner. Come for an easy, comfortable dinner.
PadellaLondon Bridge
6 Southwark St
Padella feels trendy, but the food's actually both really good and quite affordable, even if your usual jam is curry night at 'Spoons. The handmade pastas here are ridiculously tasty and at a fiver a pop, you can easily order half the menu to share between you and a friend. The cacio e pepe is the best-known dish, but our favourite is the slow-cooked beef with pappardelle. This is the one exception on our list in that there's usually a fair wait for a table, but it's worth it because the pastas are really bloody good - get there early if you really hate queues.
Cây Tre SohoSoho
42 Dean St
Vietnamese places are a shoe-in for casual dinners, but Cay Tre manages to take all of your favourite dishes and put them in a sleek-looking restaurant that feels like it should be in an interior design magazine. The food's good, and the ox cheek pho is particularly good when it's on, while the spring roll noodle salad is a nice way to mix things up. Share a plate of summer rolls, and you've got a perfect midweek dinner. They also have a branch in Shoreditch if you're out east.
Sushi AtelierFitzrovia
114 Great Portland Street
When you're meeting a mate who has requested something 'tasty, interesting, kind of healthy, and not too expensive', we'd recommend Sushi Atelier. This spot in Fitzrovia does a truly fantastic six piece sushi or sashimi omakase for less than £20. Everything here comes with a twist - expect to find foie gras, ponzu jelly, or a bit of parmesan on sushi. It's definitely a little more exciting than your usual Tuesday night spot.
Flour & GrapeBermondsey
214 Bermondsey St
Flour & Grape is another pasta-focused spot, and it's where you should be if the lines at Padella are just too long. Much like Padella, you can get an excellent plate of pasta for a tenner or less. We suggest ordering the roasted pork shoulder tortelloni which is so good, it will make you temporarily forget that other pasta-focused restaurants even exist in London. Then forget some more with some G&T's in the gin bar downstairs.
Honest Burgers BrixtonBrixton
12 Brixton Station Rd
What Honest Burgers understands better than other hip burger restaurants is that most people don't want to eat standing at a counter, or in the lap of some stranger sitting next to them. It's a comfy, laid back place to grab dinner with a couple of friends in the middle of the week, and for us, grabbing a burger here is the very definition of a casual meal. The burger itself is simple and satisfying, and you won't go wrong with the rosemary chips and a craft beer either.
Dum BiryaniSoho
187B Wardour Street
Dum Biryani's biryanis aren't the cheapest around (the lamb shank biryani is £16), but they are some of the very best, and they're also huge. Plan to bring a mate to share one, and get some chicken wings and prawns as well. Located in a Soho basement, this place is full of bright colors and often has Tupac tracks playing on the speakers. In other words, it's fun.
Bush Hall Dining RoomsShepherds Bush
304 Uxbridge Rd
Bush Hall Dining Rooms should be your go-to if you're out near Shepherds Bush, not just for the neighbourhood diner feels, but also for the menu of posh gastropub dishes that'll cover anything you'd want to eat in the middle of the week. Their salads are good if you want something healthy, and there's loads of comfy leather seating that you'll never want to get up from. It's perfect for meeting a mate, but it's also nice enough that you could take your parents or a low-key date as well.
20 Homer St
Briciole is the kind of place that you wish would open up in your neighbourhood, but it's in Marylebone because that's where all the nice things tend to end up. The bastards. It's a cute but actually kind of nice Italian restaurant, and it takes the trattoria you knew growing up and makes it somewhere you'd actually be chuffed to go and eat. The pastas are nicely made, and we particularly like the gnocchi and rigatoni with pork ragu. Order a big glass of wine and split a plate of burrata, and you're all set.
You finally booked tickets to see that play at the Old Vic on a Wednesday night, but it's left you a little bit skint on the other side? Yamagoya is just down the road and a great place to hit up for a quick bowl of authentic and affordable Japanese ramen. Their signature Yamagoya ramen is a rich, fatty, almost creamy broth, and will set you up for sitting through that long and hopefully interesting play.
Flat Iron Covent GardenCovent Garden
17-18 Henrietta St
Do you like steak? Of course you do. Steak specialist Flat Iron does a nice one for a tenner, and it's perfect with chips or a salad if you're dodging carbs or clean eating or whatever. They occasionally have fancier cuts of beef on the menu (like bavette steaks) and the odd wagyu burger, but none of it will leave a gaping hole in your wallet and it's all brilliant for what you're paying. We prefer the Covent Garden shop, as it's easier to get a table there as a walk-in - you're likely to hit a queue if you go to the original Soho restaurant. Don't bring your vegetarian mate.
Jar KitchenCovent Garden
176 Drury Ln
Jar Kitchen is a bit of a restaurant unicorn. It's central though away from the tourists, it's cosy and the service is on-point, and while the quality of food is impeccable, you can still get away with having a main and a drink here for less than 20 quid. The French and Italian-influenced food, like a braised ox cheek with risotto milanese, feels classy but Jar Kitchen still has the ambience of a friendly neighbourhood restaurant, and it's a great spot to take a mate for an awesome mid-week dinner. A casual dinner here can easily escalate after a few of their house negronis - in a good way.
As far as restaurants go, Spuntino is the cool little brother who dropped out of school, disappeared for a few years, and resurfaced with tatts and an extremely cool personality. You come to Spuntino to relax with a burger and a cold beer while pretending you're Charles Bukowski, even if you're exhausted because you're on the night shift and your toddler's tethered to a bollard outside while you sink a few rounds. There's a cool US-diner vibe that doesn't feel kitsch, and little plates of mac 'n' cheese and fried chicken you can share.
We love the sharing plates at Koya Bar, but it's very easy to go mental and overorder and end up eating Heinz baked beans for the rest of the month. Stick with the udon noodles and donburi rice dishes though, and you'll be golden - they're affordable, very tasty, and the combination of a seat at the bar-slash-open kitchen and nice Japanese food makes a nice change to the usual midweek fare. It's no reservations, but the line's usually manageable.
Shoryu Ramen SohoSoho
3 Denman St
Ramen noodles should be a staple of your midweek lineup, not just because they're a big comforting bowl of f*ck you to whatever crap you've put up with that day, but also because they're not expensive and they're all over town. Shoryu does a very good one for less than a tenner, and you can easily get a beer and share a couple of sides for less than 20 quid. Helpfully, it's usually easy to get a table as a walk-in and there's usually space if there's a few of you meeting for a casual supper.
We're of the opinion that affordable pasta spots make for great mid-week dinner spots, so here's another one, located in Soho. Although the lines can get long, they go fast as the canteen setting doesn't invite you to hang around too long. The pastas are good, but the tiramisu is even better, so save some room for that.
Granger & Co Notting HillNotting Hill
175 Westbourne Grove
Like finding out that the word 'slang' is short for 'shortened language', you might do a double take when you realise that yes, Granger and Co is open in the evenings and yes, their dinner menu is actually pretty good. The restaurant is pretty enough to linger in on a Wednesday night, and though the casual Aussie bistro-style food won't blow your mind, it doesn't need to be as the whole experience is totally likeable. The shrimp burger and fish curry are the ones to get.
Most of the authentic Chinese eats tend to be scattered around town, but you can hit up Baozi Inn for some legit Sichuan-style scran. The food's much spicier than your garden-variety Cantonese cuisine, but it's totally worth it. Order the dumplings in chilli oil, the dan dan noodles, and the spicy beef noodle soup. The service isn't the best, but it's worth it for those dumplings.
Berber & Q Shawarma BarClerkenwell
46 Exmouth Market
This isn't the original railway arch Berber & Q, but their smaller, more casual shawarma restaurant in Exmouth Market. You can get better traditional Turkish kebabs in Dalston or Green Lanes, but that's missing the point - the point here is to enjoy said kebabs with a cocktail in a cool-looking room with tunes pumping over the stereo, which you don't get at a classic kebab joint. The food's not traditional at all, but it's still very tasty, and it's the kind of fresh food you can enjoy while still being sober as a daytime screening of Hotel Rwanda.

Amateurs built the Ark. Professionals built the Titanic. Hmmmmm I'm ok with being an amateur.
I don't have too many material things but I have a great life and a great family.
I believe that people are innately good.
I think I can do anything I put my mind to and so can anyone else. If someone is stuck in a situation its because they have chosen not to act. Never be afraid to act.
My writer friends are quite possibly my best friends. They understand me better than anyone. I am so glad that I took the time to get to know them.
I'm still working on Compassion Changes. I won't give it up. I believe that it will change the world.

More Clay Pens – Teddy Bears
Honestly, I didn't start creating these pens thinking that I would come up with a lot of ideas.
As time has gone on, I have tried some fun ideas that worked out. There were some that didn't work so well. Ice cream cone pens didn't make the cut so far.
However, these teddy bears ended up being a big hit at the last craft fair I attended. I sold out! Every one I made of these sold, plus some of the other pens I had as well.
Here is the kind of clay I use.
And even better, they are a terrific way of using some of your scrap colors up.
Let's get started so you can see.
Take the ink out of the pen, and then you can wrap it with clay. These are the type I am using. It's important to use the right kind of pen so that the outer pen doesn't melt and warp in the oven.
Cover with clay then roll smooth. If you have multiple shades of a color, mix them together to marbleize them.
Take a long snake of clay and place it down the pen.
Roll the pen to smooth the clay out, and smooth with your fingers to get a more even line. I didn't worry much, what bear has a perfectly smooth belly?
Take the same color as the outside of the bear, and add two pea-sized flattened pieces to the top of the pen.
Then, add a tear drop shaped piece to the ear as well, in another color. I used the belly color.
Your ears will look like this.
Then take a pointed or rounded took and push into the ears at the bottom. It will seat the ears better onto the clay on the pen, and will look like folded inner ears.
Now we work on his face.
Put two white round pieces for his eyes, and two small round pieces for his irises.
Flatten the black balls for his eyes, and gently press the white part as well.
Make a round piece in the base color of the pen, and flatten it for the muzzle part. Also make a round black ball for his nose.
I used the razor knife to cut down the face of the muzzle.
Take a small piece of a color. Flatten it out and round the ends.
Fold the two ends into the middle of the piece.
Place that piece on the pen under the muzzle of the bear.
Take the base color again and make a short log with it.
After cutting it in half, flatten one end and place on the side of the pen, as one arm.
Place the second arm, and flatten it well into the pen to assure it sticks well.
Add details. Use a rounded sharp tool and press it in the center of the bow on the bear. Add two small pink cheek dots.
Use the razor knife to press into the paws and make the toes.
At the bottom of the pen, make two feet, with two large balls.
Then add three dots for toes and press the balls into the clay.
Once you are finished with the bear, bake at 275 degrees F on a foil sheet on a baking tray for about 25 minutes.
Reinsert the base with the ink refill and you are done, or you could seal with a clear poly spray.
TIP**** Use smaller pieces of clay for the details and use up your clay scraps for the bears. Make them any color!

The Scariest Animal You'll Find in Pastel Hotel Art
It roams the ocean floor, always ravenous, always ready to kill. When it finds its prey, it pulls it apart with hideous strength and then eats it while the prey is still alive. What is this fearsome beast? Is it a shark? A kraken? The Loch Ness Monster? Nope. It's a starfish. The most common starfish species on both the East and West coasts, beloved by millions of beach-going children, are actually mighty predators.
Starfish aren't actually fish-starfish are invertebrates with no skeleton and no central nervous system. (For that reason many people prefer to call them "sea stars," but I'll just stick with starfish here.) Like sea cucumbers and sea urchins, sea stars are echinoderms , invertebrates with spiny bodies and little suction cups called "tube feet."
In starfish, tube feet line their underside , acting like tiny legs that glide the starfish slowly over the ocean floor. The tube feet also act like tongues, licking the bottom to sense where something tasty might be hiding. Since starfish don't move very quickly, they have to eat animals that can't get away. (No need to hide the children-people are way out of a starfishes' league.) Starfish are especially fond of shellfish, though they certainly don't balk at a bit of cannibalism. They aren't fast, but they're very, very strong.
When a starfish finds, say, a nice plump mussel, it crawls on top of it and uses its tube feet to pull the mussel slowly apart. Starfish mouths are located on their underside, in the middle where all the legs join. They don't have jaws, but they do have acidic stomachs. So once the delicious soft bits of the mussel are exposed, the starfish vomits out its stomach, slaps it on the mussel, and digests away while the mussel is still alive. Full digestion takes hours to days. When the starfish is done, it sucks its stomach back in and glides off in search of its next victim.
If you're still not convinced that pretty symmetrical starfish are the Godzillas of the sea, check out this time-lapse video (starfish at 1:30) of desperate brittle stars and clams fleeing from a sunflower star. Or this video of a normally sedate abalone sprinting across the rocks. Though I would never cast aspersions on Patrick from Spongebob Squarepants , I do think that beachside hotel art would be greatly improved by a little ecological correctness. Any volunteers to paint some starfish-induced violence in pastel?

|Reviews for visceral
| Potterworm chapter 1 . 1/27/2010
Though I'm not sure I quite buy some of this stuff happening (Narcissa, really?) I really adored this story. It was very passionate and real.
| lovetoseverus chapter 1 . 1/22/2009
This is really interesting to me in that it sort of fills in the background colors of Lily. Although I like her and James together in canon, I was always disappointed by the lack of information in the books about how her and James came to be an item, married and had a son. From Snape's Worst Memory, you learn that Lily and James were barely even on speaking terms during the year of their OWLS, and from The Prince's Tale you learn that Severus and Lily were childhood friends (which continued into their early years at Hogwarts). From there, I feel like readers must make a giant leap of imagination to guess why Lily and James ended up together.
Yet, even with the lack of information on Lily and James, I don't think it's a stretch at all to think Lily and Severus had something very deep, intense and unexplainable together - probably as close to a real relationship as Severus ever got - as there is plenty of evidence throughout the books to suggest this was the case. However, their coupling was doomed from the beginning due to this kind of disconnect that never quite reconciles itself in time (or at the same time) for each of them. To my delight, fanfic writers like exploring this very thing. Please continue with this pairing, I'd love to read more.
| tauphe chapter 1 . 11/8/2008
This was great.
You showed Lily in a great light. So often people portray her as a perfect, angelic thing. Fics like that just aren't realistic.
Thank you.
| zandra rose chapter 1 . 10/7/2008
Wow. That was a really awesome story. Great job.
| madame-silver chapter 1 . 10/6/2008
That was great.
One of my favourite stories ive read on here for a while.
Thank you.
| Carmen Echo chapter 1 . 10/4/2008
you've evolved. a cold and dispassionate and pedantic lily. very believable. and for snape to be a person who evokes something in her, also convincing. i imagined snape to be a certain way with lily, a way that he was with no one else and i saw it here. the constant questions (don't you lily) are a beautiful move. they imply doubt. so maybe she isnt as dispassionate as she would like to be. there are certain people, at certain times that make her exactly the opposite. narcissa - excellent. just because i'd always imagined lily to have dabbled in the wrong things with the wrong gender.
| shyfoxling chapter 1 . 10/2/2008
Beautiful and powerful.
| Artika chapter 1 . 10/2/2008
I am not a giant fan of stories in the second person, but I really enjoyed this. I love love love that Lily isn't perfect- that she's real. I can't stand the idea that she was an angel or a doormat or a goody-two-shoes. I find it much more interesting (and therefore heartbreaking) in instances such as the one you have written: she regrets severing ties with Snape and has human emotions instead of only happiness and pride.
Enough ranting-good story. I hope you do something more with these two - you have a good feel for them.
| Aelia chapter 1 . 10/2/2008
I like your writing style. It is unique and quite good. Keep on writing!

Most of us aspire to a life of greater financial success. But it seems that only a limited number of people get to achieve that success.
If we are all born with a great variety of gifts, like a good working mind, how do we best put it to work to achieve that success we desire?
This month I'd like to go through some steps which might be the ticket to a better life financially. Like anything in life, the key to improving your financial condition is by better understanding it.
There appear to be 4 common areas that could be impacting our ability to achieve financial success.
The inclination to seek comfort – the easy way. All of us, when confronted with some task or even opportunity that leads to a goal, seem to always want to take the path of least resistance. You know, the easy way out. How can I get the job done easily and with the least amount of effort, so that I will be comfortable doing it? Or how can I find shortcuts or easy ways that lead to the same goal. The temptation to follow this path can often lead to disaster and those seeking a quick return on investments are often ruined by this mechanism.
Our need to justify away bad experiences and then forget about them – the failings of our past, where we didn't take responsibility. We all have bad experiences in our past, which we try to forget, thinking this somehow makes them go away and stop affecting us. However, the reality is these experiences are still affecting us today, particularly if they involve situations in which we felt we were a victim or someone did "something to us" and which we are still failing to take any responsibility for ourselves right up to this present day. For example if they were financial situations, where we cannot even say to ourselves now.. "well you know I probably should have checked that investment out a little more carefully before deciding to put my money into it" or "I should have realised my brother would lose money in that business before giving it to him." Any degree of responsibility we can accept for our past, helps us to make more informed decisions in the present.
Our impulses around money, like sugar in the blood. As money can provide so much energy for us in life, enabling us to do things that are pleasurable and survival, it can unfortunately act a little like a drug for us. You know, we get a buzz spending a big amount of money on something or we get a real buzz when we receive a big injection of funds, like an unexpected bonus or win. It can act just like sugar does in our blood, giving us a "high" followed by a low. If we treat money this way, it tends to control us, just like a person who craves sugar does.
The feeling of being worthy or unworthy – being worthy means you CAN have money. Our own sense of worth or lack of worth, can affect how we feel towards money. If we have any sense of lowered self-worth we might feel that we are not worthy of money and so actively be holding it away from us and not letting it come to us. Conversely a high sense of self-worth is often what makes a person very comfortable about receiving money and so they can easily have it. It comes to them. They feel worthy of receiving it. Some people even grow up with a sense of entitlement towards money. They just feel they are entitled to receive it and then often what they do, gives them what they feel they should be receiving.
All of these factors can be very powerful in influencing a person. As you can imagine, as an individual, working on your own, it can be very hard to counter these influences on your life. You may not even be aware of these factors or how they are affecting you. (Well now you might have some idea through reading this article! ☺)
So this is why it can help to have someone, an adviser, who looks at your situation from an external point of view and can perhaps help you see how these factors might be influencing you.
For example, trying all your life to be "comfortable" about money, might be the very thing that is holding you back. Because sometimes in order to get on the road to financial success, you might need to step outside your comfort zone and do something that might at first feel very UNcomfortable!
As advisers we see this very often. People come to us with the idea that they can achieve their goals with no effort or discomfort. When we talk to people to get an idea of their goals and what their dreams are, they will often paint a dreamy picture of this ideal scene they have in their mind.
But when you get down to talking about what needs to be done in order to get there, that's when things get interesting. There are often some very powerful factors sitting there which are getting in the way of actually achieving the goal. Things like those listed above. Particularly this inclination towards comfort, finding the easy way there.
The reality is, that most of us can get there. We can achieve financial success. But it is much harder to do on your own with these factors working against you. Having a financial adviser, a coach if you like, is someone who works with you to help you overcome the problem.
The two of us together, combined, are more powerful than these influences and so working together in a unified manner, means we can overcome them.
Please feel free to contact us on how we can make that happen for you. Ironically, working with someone else, is actually easier!

One thing happened downtown Toronto today and I just want to tell you about it.
On the intersection of Yonge street and some other street north of Dundas there was a cyclist approaching red light and police car behind him. What happened is not fair – cyclist went on the red light without stopping and police simply stopped on the red light as everybody else. What happened next? NOTHING!
So what does it mean? Questions to Toronto police:
1. How many demerit points and what is the fine for red light for the person operating a vehicle on the road?
2. Do all vehicles on the road have same responsibilities and rights?
3. Why such a big violation can be simply ignored by police officer?
4. What will be the punishment for a driver who goes on the green light and hits the cyclist going on the red light?
If any of answers mean "cyclists are allowed not to follow rules" than simply they should not be allowed on public roads!
I don't have any identification of cyclist or police car.

Hi! I'm Emily and I'm a third-year Graphic Design student at Staffordshire University. I love everything bold and tacky and would describe myself as the queen of the queef. Somewhere in the middle of my second year at uni I realised that I just wanted to be a designer. I want to design beautiful, queefy products for creative people like me.
I am now starting to think about what I want to do after university and I am keen to be designing actual, physical products and creating my own 'brand'. I find I am inspired by bold and bright colours, strong graphic patterns and mixed textures. My favorite areas of dezign are print, pattern, and typography so it is important that I focus my products on these areas.
I want to design products that put a smile on the customers face and add a little unique and fun touch to their everyday life – whether this is a colourful touch to their living room or the greatest gift at a party (with beautiful wrapping paper too!) I just want to make cool stuff.
I have followed a lot of designers and their small businesses over the past two years, dreaming of starting up something of my own but never really having the balls to go through with it, but with graduation looming I know that now is the right time for me to establish myself as the designer that I want to be. The collections I will be starting out with are stationary, giftware and hoe wear. I sometimes see items on the high-street and believe I could do better – especially stationary.
Thanks for reading and if there's anything else you would like to know, please use the contact form to send me a message :)

My Random Pick
By Stephen King
Publisher: Scribner
Pages: 849
Genre: Historical Fiction/Sci Fi
Life can turn on a dime—or stumble into the extraordinary, as it does for Jake Epping, a high school English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine. While grading essays by his GED students, Jake reads a gruesome, enthralling piece penned by janitor Harry Dunning: fifty years ago, Harry somehow survived his father's sledgehammer slaughter of his entire family. Jake is blown away…but an even more bizarre secret comes to light when Jake's friend Al, owner of the local diner, enlists Jake to take over the mission that has become his obsession—to prevent the Kennedy assassination. How? By stepping through a portal in the diner's storeroom, and into the era of Ike and Elvis, of big American cars, sock hops, and cigarette smoke… Finding himself in warmhearted Jodie, Texas, Jake begins a new life. But all turns in the road lead to a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald. The course of history is about to be rewritten…and become heart-stoppingly suspenseful.
It is kind of a no-brainer that if Stephen King's name is on it, I will eventually buy and read it. He is an auto author for me. He has been since I very first picked up The Shining many years ago at my poor mother's forbidding. I smuggled it out of the local library and kept it stashed away underneath my mattress only to read each night and drift away into some of the craziest nightmares. Yet I could not stop. It has been true love ever since.
King is not only a man of horror though. He has written countless titles over the years. Some that make me think, some that make me cry (The Green Mile), and some that just blow me away. One thing remains consistent, he never fails to impress me. He occupies multiples shelves on my bookcases, and I will never be able to read them all. But none the less, 11/22/63 is on my list. Have you read this? If so, what genre would you say this title best falls into?
What's on your TBR?

Three of the top four research institutions will receive less in next year's funding allocations from Hefce. Alison Goddard reports.
The leading research universities will get less grant money next year, funding chiefs announced today.
This will increase pressure on the government to find more money for university research, particularly as the coming research assessment exercise is expected to show a rise in overall performance. Unless more is provided, universities that maintain an excellent research record will end up with less cash.
Three of the four institutions that each receive more than £50 million a year in a block grant for research - Oxford University, University College London and Imperial College, London - will get less money from the funding council in real terms. The grant of the fourth, Cambridge University, will remain static.
The three have been penalised because they have fallen behind the rest of the sector in supervising more postgraduate research students, the Higher Education Funding Council for England said. The council concentrates funding for research in the institutions where the quality of research is highest. Almost a third of the total block grant for research goes to the top four institutions, and half to the top ten. The other half of the research grant is shared among 122 institutions.
Universities, colleges and other stakeholders such as professional bodies, trade unions, industry and private funders would like to keep but not increase this selectivity, a funding council consultation concluded last year.
At last month's Hefce meeting, the board decided to continue the rate of funding for departments that gain the top ranks - grade 5 and 5* - after the 2001 RAE. It also agreed that middle-ranking departments - grade 3a and 3b - would still receive funding. If resources are limited, the priority will be to protect departments rated 5 and 5*, the board decided.
The leading research institutions are among 40 universities, higher education colleges and specialist institutions whose funding will stay level or fall in real terms. Real-terms gains will be recorded by 92 others. Today's figures also cover funding for higher education in 220 further education colleges. Overall, higher education will receive a 4.1 per cent funding increase in cash terms, representing an increase of 1.6 per cent after inflation.
Despite the blow to those institutions whose research block grant tops £50 million, research-led universities and The Open University still dominate the rich list. Ten institutions will each receive a block grant of more than £100 million. The Open University tops the list with a £138 million grant for teaching and research. It is followed by the Oxford and Cambridge, UCL, Imperial College, the universities of Leeds and Manchester, and King's College London.
Ten institutions will receive more than £50 million each for teaching. The Open University again tops the table, with more than £130 million, followed by Leeds, Manchester Metropolitan, Manchester and Birmingham universities, King's College London, UCL, Oxford, Cambridge and De Montfort University.
Proportionally, smaller institutions fared best in the allocations. Eight institutions will get rises of more than 10 per cent in cash terms. Canterbury Christ Church University College's grant grew by 14.7 per cent in cash terms because of its new Thanet campus. Other big winners included Chester College of Higher Education, the Surrey Institute of Art and Design, Harper Adams University College, the Institute of Cancer Research, Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication, Cumbria College of Art and Design, and the Arts Institute at Bournemouth.
Details of funding for extra student places for the year beginning in September 2001 were revealed. As happened last year, the lion's share will go to the Russell Group universities.
After The Open University, the universities of Nottingham, Leeds and Southampton are expected to recruit the most additional students. Each has more than £2.5 million for extra provision, though Leeds and Southampton will have money withheld for failing to meet last year's recruitment targets for extra students.
In his annual letter to the funding council last November, education secretary David Blunkett told Hefce to give priority in allocating the extra places to high-quality part-time provision, places for mature students and sub-degree qualifications, particularly at the level of foundation degree.
Ninety-three institutions have been offered extra money for additional student places. Thirty-nine others, some of which may not have bid for extra places, received no funds for expansion.
The University of Sunderland remained top of the table for attracting students from neighbourhoods that are under-represented in higher education. It received more money from the widening participation premium per full-time home undergraduate than any other institution with more than 1,000 students.
Also doing well on this measure were Salford, Teesside, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Central Lancashire, Bradford, Lincolnshire and Humberside and Staffordshire universities and London Guildhall University and Bolton Institute of Higher Education.
Ten institutions were saved from harsh funding cuts by the funding council's pledge to maintain stability. Hefce has said it will ensure that no institution receives an overall funding cut of more than 2 per cent in real terms.
This year, it had to intervene at Sunderland, South Bank, University College Northampton, Bolton Institute of Higher Education, Nottingham Trent, Luton, De Montfort, East London, and Lincolnshire and Humberside and the London School of Economics. Nine of the ten were due to face penalties for under-recruitment.
As they say, allocation is everything
The Higher Education Funding Council for England today announced the allocation of £3.1 billion for teaching and £888 million for research, for the year beginning in September. The announcement also included £67 million for special initiatives.
Of the teaching funding, £36 million will be spent on additional funded students in response to the most recent round of bids, £24 million on additional funded students in response to earlier bids, £7 million for more medical students, and £36 million to widen participation.
The teaching grant that each institution receives is weighted for the number of students, and premiums are awarded for other student, subject and grant factors. The higher costs of teaching laboratory-based subjects are recognised, and specialist institutions, small institutions and those based in London receive a higher grant.
Of the research funding, £868 million will be distributed according to the results of the most recent research assessment exercise and the number of research-active staff.
The grant is weighted so that laboratory and clinical subjects get more than less costly research fields. Institutions also receive funds for supervising research students.
Some £20 million will go towards generic research activity, which recognises collaborative research with no single beneficiary.
The government has yet to announce the allocation of £320 million in special funding, £240 million for capital funding and £80 million for rewarding and developing staff.

While on vacation this week, My wife and I are visiting friends in another state. We were blessed to be able to worship with them and meet their pastor. Despite our denominational differences, the pastor and I hit it off as we were like-minded in our passion for the gospel. A couple of comments during the Bible study, however, (we were in Romans 3) caused a moment of concern. It had nothing to do with eternal security, the gift of tongues, or ecclesiology (though we likely differ on all of those). It wasn't that he said something that bothered my Baptist sensibilities. In fact, I have heard the same thing said in Baptist churches. The belief he expressed has become widespread among evangelicals even though it has no real biblical support. It is an attractive belief -- real "feel good" theology. The pastor introduced the idea with the phrase "the Bible teaches that . . . ." At the end of the Bible study, when the floor was open for questions, a young woman (also a visitor) asked eagerly where she could find that in the Bible. She was not challenging the pastor as I would have been doing had I asked the question. Rather, she had never heard this idea before but really liked it and wanted the "proof text" to confirm it. The pastor could not come up with a verse on the spot (I whispered to my wife, "that's because it's not in there") but he assured her that this was the Bible's teaching.
This belief to which I am referring is the belief that all people in the world will have an equal chance to accept Christ. That is, because God is loving and fair, God will give everyone a chance to become a Christian. I understand the desire to have such a belief. For one, it helps resolve the tension in the question "What happens to those who have never heard.?" I helps us solve the dilemma of the fairness of God given the present situation in the world. There are several problems with this reasoning, however. Below are a few of those problems as I see it in the early morning before anyone else in the house is awake an functioning:
1. This is not the Bible's teaching. There is no suggestion in the Bible that salvation is available to any without the preaching, hearing and responding to the gospel of Jesus Christ. In fact the book of Romans expresses this in chapter 10:
13 For "whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved." 14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!" 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?" 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:13-17 (NKJV) cf. 1 Cor 1:21. There is no other biblical way. People must hear and believe the gospel to be saved.
Some try to explain away this lack of biblical support by saying that the Bible is silent about the fate of the unevangelized and claim that God is free to do whatever he wants. We don't have to know HOW he will give everyone an equal chance, we don't even have biblical precedence, we only have to know that God is loving and fair and fairness demands that everyone have a chance to believe. The problem here is two-fold. a. We are on dangerous ground when we say that go beyond what God has revealed in his word. We have enough statements about salvation and evangelism to rule out such a scenario. b. God already addresses the question of those who have not heard the gospel. God has already given revelation through creation, and even this light has been rejected. No one can say at the judgment "We never heard the message." They are without excuse (Rom 1:18-20). Others approach the problem a different way by saying that is someone truly seeks God, God in his faithfulness will send a messenger. This scenario is also ruled out in Romans since "no one seeks God"(Rom 3:11).
2. In effect, this view undermines mission and evangelism. No longer burdened by the fate of those who do not hear the gospel, we lose our urgency for evangelism and missions. We may feel some guilt for lack of involvement in missions and evangelism, but the guilt is now only from not obeying a command of Scripture. Add that to the list of things I need to work on in my own personal spiritual development. Since God is fair, my lack of involvement puts no one's ultimate destiny at stake. The urgency for missions and evangelism is lost.
3. Finally, such a view does not take our own depravity seriously. I say this because the idea of God's fairness really reflects our own doubts about the seriousness of sin. The reality is that I deserve death and hell as does every person in the world. I am no better than the person who has never heard the gospel Without the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ for my sins, I too would be condemned. When people die of a disease, it is not the lack of a cure that kills them, it is the disease itself. When God condemns sinners, whether or not they hear the gospel, they are condemned for their sin and nothing else. We have the cure, we must take it to them. Without the gospel, we too would be condemned.
I could take up much more space discussing this subject and really have not done it justice here. I bring it up because it is becoming such a popular view among otherwise bible-believing Christians. In any case, that's all I can do while on vacation. My family is getting up and soon will be ready to get going on fun vacation stuff. There is much more to say on this subject. Feel free to add your comments.

WWL TV, WGNO, and NOLA.com all report oil from the Gulf of Mexico spill has reached the marshlands of Plaquemines Parish, La. Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser has been quoted by multiple sources to say this is our "worst nightmare." What we've feared has come upon us. These marshlands are most likely beyond remediation.
The Times Picayune says:
a bleak picture began to emerge this week as the first signs of thick, dark oil from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill could be seen blanketing a patch of marsh grass near the mouth of the Mississippi River.It's over. We will see the death of grass and fish, I heard Nungesser say tonight on Channel 26.
At the eastern reaches of the delta, where Pass a Loutre meets open water, dark brown oil was covering an entire patch of cane grass on Wednesday.
Gov. Bobby Jindal made similar statements. Check the news source links in this post for more details.

Video editing was not the only technology that the VisorCentral staff utilized on the trip. At the hotel, there was one phone line that four people needed to use to check email and the Discussion Forums. With two PC laptops running Windows 98 and two Mac notebooks, we knew that it would be an interesting setup.
After connecting the machines to an ethernet hub, the PowerBook along with BrickHouse was used as an Internet connection point for the other machines. We were even able to copy a file from a PC to a Mac by using the FTP server built into Mac OS X. The dialup connection was slow but we were able to all use the Internet at the same time. I was always happy with my PowerBook purchase -- this trip has now made it one of the best purchases in my life.
We hope that our readers enjoyed the video content that we were able to provide at this year's PC Expo. If you have any suggestions or comments about the streaming content, please send an email to email@example.com.

APD Member Spotlight Blog (May): Nick Shepherd
Do you ever wonder how any of us balance all of the things we have to do in life? I am personally slowly turning my life from a giant piece of deferred maintenance into something more tolerable.
For this month I'd like to share about May's racing and my personal struggles and success to keep things balanced.
Personal Life
May is my month of recovery. As a CPA I work so much from Jan 1st until April 15th that right after the 15th I like to relax and focus on completing deferred items so I can enjoy the rest of the summer.
May starts out with no help from my wife's dog Hans. One night he whines and requires going outside at 3am. I let him out and wait in the house until a few minutes later I notice the smell of skunk. I immediately call him to the house to determine if he was hit or if there's just a skunk in the area. As he comes up to the house he runs right past me and inside. I yelled to April "do you think he got hit?" To which she replies "Umm yeah, my eyes are watering". I put him back outside and go back to bed. The next morning involved an outdoor de-skunking bath with a loudly whining German Shepherd who sounds exactly like a screaming human child.
The aftermath of a de-skunking bath. Cats with white stripes are not cats.
Another deferred item is ensuring I'm out of the racing slump I've been enduring since the middle of last year. While I got a win at the end of April I had entirely forgotten about one symptom that was plaguing me until we started racing this year and it reoccurred. I had been getting severe headaches in the heat.
I have a mild blood pressure problem. My blood pressure is usually about 10 points higher than my doctor desires so I take a medicine for it. The medicine also causes sun sensitivity, so I stopped taking it and the headaches were gone. The doctor indicates I can be fine without it as long as I am careful about diet and exercise.
I've had more success racing this month than exercising so I'll segway into that…..
Racing Results
Mechanically, my car didn't start off well this year because I had been "messing" with it over the winter. I should have left it alone and done nothing different. That's easy to say now, but the reality is that next winter I will probably do the same thing. When you're racing anything, bikes, boats, cars, etc. it requires good skills, but it also requires good mechanical intuition, and often a mechanical advantage over your competitors. I'm always looking for that mechanical advantage.
I'm also half nutty with my ideas. My dad and I discuss racing on a daily basis. My dad is introverted and communicates only when his ideas are fully thought through. I communicate 27 ideas out loud and none of them are good. When we have conversations I have to preface my language with "ok, this is going to be crazy too, but here's another idea…" Honestly, I am very thankful we have that relationship and my dad has been a huge supporter for me. In late rounds when I'm debating 17 different dial in options, he's good about narrowing down my options and getting me to think rationally.
April 29 – Woodburn Dragstrip - Points
After some mechanical tweaks the old Nova was reasonably consistent, but it wasn't delivering the ultra consistent 60' times I was hoping for and the day ended early when I lost second round to a competitor with a .001 light.
These low .00 lights for bottom bulb competition aren't that common and are starting to annoy me. After this race I decided I was going to start being much more aggressive on the tree.
I also decide that my old torque converter needed to go back in the car. One of my very best friends is Steve Kelly, he was the 2008 Pro National Champion and he helps me a lot. Over a winter breakfast we were discussing looser torque converters. The discussion went like this:
Nick: "My dad has a torque converter that is 1,000 more stall"
Steve: "Is it built specifically for your car with a small tire?"
Nick: "No"
Steve: "I'm not even going to discuss this with you. You're being cheap – buy the right one"
So I didn't listen and changed it anyway.
Fortunately, the next week Ryan Schaefer offers to help me swap it out. The swap went really well except Ryan insisted that one rubber glove zip tied to the tail shaft of the transmission would hold all the fluid in. Below is a picture of that success.
I'm not sure what happened to the fifth finger. Maybe that's why there's so much fluid on the floor.
May 5 – Woodburn Dragstrip - Test Day
The next weekend I elect to go to a Saturday Nostalgia race to test the car. The intent is to make runs until the mechanics are solid. I'm pretty much prepared to do anything it takes and I've got every spare part I own with me.
Fortunately, things start to turn around. I was able to get the car very consistent on the testing day. Maybe my tenacity is getting me somewhere….
May 6 – Woodburn Dragstrip - Points
The following day I arrived at the track feeling great and with high confidence. Once I knew that that the car was performing well, I quickly recognized that any losses were only going to be attributed to my driving.
Fortunately, I drove well and by day's end I was able to get another win! My average r/t was an .011, worst light was a .025 and the car repeated excellently.
I raced my friend Steve Stuart in the final round. Steve was the Div 6 ET Finals winner last year, and typically finishes #1 or #2 in points. He also sells t-shirts with a picture of his car to benefit the Woodburn Booster club. For everyone's amusement I purchased a t-shirt of his car and I wore it all day. The final round was an excellent double breakout race as I had a .004 advantage on the tree and took .003 stripe to win. I didn't execute perfectly but it worked out.
Something else started happening here. The deferred maintenance cloud started to part and I started to remember how to race competently. Staging, spot drops, finish line execution, reaction times all started coming around.
A psychologist developed there are 4 stages to competence. I've given my own interpretation of them as they relate to racing:
#1 - Unconscious incompetence – You lose and you don't even know what happened
#2 - Conscious incompetence – You lose and you know why
#3 – Conscious competence – You're capable of winning, but it takes a lot of paying attention
#4 – Unconscious competence – You're capable of winning because you're good without thinking about it. It's natural.
Prior to this race I had been racing at the #2 level and I moved back to the #3 level. In previous years I had been at the #3 level.
I was lucky enough to get another win on May 6th. That's my mom and dad with me.
May 12 – Woodburn Dragstrip - Points
I finally left the mechanics alone and the car delivered for me. I raced to the semis before losing. With three cars remaining I raced Steve Stuart again and he got the better of me. If you want to know a weakness of mine, I HATE racing guys named Steve – there are 3 of them I race on a semi regular basis. I was .015 to his .017, but he's 17mph faster and it confused me and this time I took too much stripe at .022.
May 13 – Marriage Maintenance Day
Remember that whole concept of deferred maintenance? Well I was planning to go to Seattle to race this day and changed my mind. I made a strategic move which should pay big dividends. As I mentioned last month, my wife is very patient with all of my racing. However, tax season immediately followed by race season can try her patience. Therefore, I opted to skip racing and we spent the whole day doing fun stuff. Breakfast, walking, shopping, lunch, wine tasting. It was a memorable day for us and now I'm in good shape to do lots of racing.
I had a great time skipping the race track to spend the day with my wife.
May 19 – Woodburn Dragstrip – Gamblers
My series of excellent reaction times finally ended as I went red first round of the non-electronics gambler. Instead of heading back to the pits, I pulled the car around and entered the electronics gambler. I was able to throw down a normally winnable .007 package only to get beat with a .004 package. Not my day I guess.
Here are 2012 statistics to date:
Round win percentage: 73%
Average green reaction time in elimination: .020 (still trying for an average of .017)
I also owe a favor back and this is completely unsolicited. I'm obviously a member of this site, ThisisBracketRacing.com. Luke Bogacki is the proprietor and offers a wealth of information to improve your racing. Luke has also helped me via personal emails and assistance through his chat room. The money I spent to be a member was BY FAR the best money I've ever spent on racing. I used to not even tell people about the site because I figured it was a big strategic advantage for me.
I will admit that I am even a little bit of a sheep when it comes to the site. If Luke says to do it a certain way, that's the way I do it. Therefore, I am a product of this site as much as one can be.
I hope everyone has a good month. Happy Racing.

How to guide: LEARNING NEW movement habits…
I've created a 4 part series to support the changes you want to make
- Part 1: Emerging from NOT knowing – seeing your habits!
- Part 2: Consciously exploring new pathways
- Part 3: New Normal Emerges
- Part 4: New Habits formed – celebrate the wins!
Part 1:
Emerging from NOT knowing – seeing your habits!
New habits are learnt!
New habits need practice – you know this!
To learn anything new (guitar, yoga, software programs etc) you are often uncomfortable in the beginning. Genuine attention and focus are needed to forge new pathways in our nervous system.
It is wonderful how we now understand the "neuro plasticity" of our brains. That's got to give you some encouragement J Change is totally possible.
Habits are powerful as they work in the background – they run on automatic. To create changes in our habits we need to disrupt our regular routines.
First key stage in the learning of new habits is appreciating when you have NO awareness or knowledge of your present circumstances (posture, movement patterns, habitual responses to stimulus etc).
The only option you have to function in the world is to run on your regular, known nervous system pathways. This is most often the place where people start their BodyMinded learning journey.
Some need has brought you wanting or seeking change. Perhaps it is pain, discomfort or you want to be more confident, have less headaches – whatever your motivation the first step is looking very carefully at what you are doing. I call this emerging from your 'not' knowing place.
Often in a class or in a private lesson with a teacher the first part of the learning is to become aware of what you can't currently see or feel.
So many times I've heard or seen people say "I'm not really leaning back all the time, am I?" (when exploring where upright-ness actually is spatially). Each person has blind spots. We all do. Even those people that have been doing BodyMinded/Alexander Technique for a long time – everyone has ideas that need updating about how we move and respond to the world.
If you are in the place of wanting to change something that you know is not helping you be healthy and happy. The first step is find a method to get external objective information about yourself.
The easiest method is to work with a professionally trained observer of movement (aka an Alexander Technique teacher or a BodyMinded coach). We work in Sydney and would love to help you. If this is not available to you then start using mirrors, your smart phone to grab photos or video of yourself. Carefully looking at your movement, seeking external objective information is the key to seeing what you actually do when you move!
Big note here – it is about movement NOT any specific position!
Seeing your movement is not an instruction to add more tension or try to 'fix' something. Approach your observations buckets loads of self-kindness.
Working with a BodyMinded teacher/ coach assists you in delving into the thinking that is associated with specific movement moments. I've watched Greg Holdaway teaching for years now, and am often surprised that he plucks out of the conversation the 'key' idea inside people's thinking that is manifesting the strain or stress in their movements. Our thinking and moving are woven together, change one and the other follows!
Today's practical task for you is to
Reflect on what and how you will gain external objective feedback about your thinking and moving.
Working with a trusted source is important.
The first step towards change requires external objective feedback. You need help to see what you are really doing when you reach for a cupboard, turn your head when driving, lifting your child, begin playing the piano etc.
Options for you to consider:
Join a small group class with a professional coach
Book a series of personal lessons with a professional teacher
For those in rural areas or not close to a BodyMinded coach or an Alexander Technique teacher you could
- Book a skype lesson
- Use your phone to record your movement
- Ask for feedback from family or trusted friends
- Read some articles to help you reveal your thinking and moving preferences
Next blog we will bring you part 2 in the learning journey of the New Year New You with the BodyMinded approach.
I started with the key idea "New Habits are learnt"… it is true. Believe that you can change and that you'll succeed.
Good Luck!
Part 2 coming soon.
About Kathy Driscoll
I want to share my insights and a few stories about Alexander Technique with you. I've used Alexander Technique in some extreme circumstances including the birth of my twins and when I had appendicitis! I also use Alexander Technique for everyday activities as well.
I have been involved with Alexander Technique for more than 25 years. I meet Greg Holdaway (Director of Sydney Alexander Technique) just as he was transitioning from a professional career as a dancer into Bill Brenner's Alexander Technique teacher training program in Sydney.
Greg now has been teaching for decades, he remains passionate and totally focused on positive results for those he works with, which now include his own teacher training program.
Please get in touch for more information about Alexander Technique.

This is coolbert:
From the Chicago Tribune today:
Trail Guide:
"Boy, did this congressman misspeak"
"Rep. Geoff Davis (R-Ky.) said he recently participated in 'highly classified, national security simulation' with Barrack Obama and added, "That boy's finger does not need to be on the button.' Davis later apologized for the 'boy' comment, saying that 'my poor choice of words is regrettable.'"
It is not so much the "boy" comment but the "highly classified, national security simulation" that I am interested in.
Simulations, "games", of a geo-political nature, quite often having a military dimension to them of far-reaching proportions, are a common aspect of life for "authority" at the highest echelons of the U.S. government? For both elected and non-elected officials?
Finger - - on the button - - I would have to assume - - refers to the release of nuclear weapons! The military has been authorized, in the "game", to use nuclear weapons!
Simulations, "games", of a sophisticated nature, computer-generated, were a part of the Washington scene all throughout the Cold War? At any hour, an official could be called upon to be a participant in a "game"? Simulate scenarios, test hypothesis, in the process allowing officials, whatever their capacity, the opportunity to gain experience [even in a notional, make-believe world] in decision-making, the consequences of which could mean war or peace!
Obama, a man that is getting close to the Presidency, is "getting his feet wet"? Experiencing, if only in simulations, what goes on behinds the scenes. Finding out how decisions are made, and under what circumstances!
