Chapter 3
Lt. Christian, "Captain Bligh... I am in hell - I am in hell."
It is not surprising that the most famous of all mutinies is that of the British HMS Bounty. With the above statement, Bligh, and 18 others who are more, or less, loyal to him, are put into a 23- foot launch with enough supplies to last five days. Given how far they are from civilization, this was tantamount to a death sentence.
Mutiny is defined as the crime of conspiring to disobey an order that a group of similarly-situated individuals (typically members of the military; or the crew of any ship, even if they are civilians) is legally obliged to obey. The term is mostly used for a rebellion against the very authority the mutineers are to obey.
Mutiny particularly means open rebellion against an authority. Many mutinies were carried out in response to backpay and/or poor conditions within the military unit or on the ship. Most countries still punish mutiny with particularly harsh penalties, sometimes even the death penalty.
The Unites States Uniform Code of Military Justice defines mutiny thus:
Article 94: Mutiny or Sedition. A member who, with intent to usurp or override lawful military authority, refuses in concert with any other person, to obey orders or otherwise do his or her duty or creates any violence or disturbance, is guilty of mutiny. A person who, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of lawful civil authority, creates, in concert with any other person, revolt, violence, or other disturbance against that authority, is guilty of sedition. Furthermore, a member who fails to do his or her utmost to prevent and suppress a mutiny or sedition being committed in his or her presence, or fails to take all reasonable means to inform his or her superior commissioned officer or commanding officer of a mutiny or sedition which he or she knows or has reason to believe is taking place, is guilty of a failure to suppress or report a mutiny or sedition. Violations of this article can be punished by death.
Now having given this, the U.S. military law requires obedience only to lawful orders. Disobedience to unlawful orders is the obligation of every member of the U.S. armed forces, a principle established by the Nuremberg trials and reaffirmed in the aftermath of the My Lai Massacre. However, a U.S. soldier who disobeys an order after deeming it unlawful will certainly be court-martialed to determine whether the disobedience was proper.
I believe that mutiny is exactly the right term for Satans path associated with Gods authority. Other terms which we might consider associated with mutiny would be sedition, treason, or traitor.
Sedition is a term of law to refer to covert conduct such as speech, incitement of discontent, resistance or organization that is deemed by the legal authority as tending toward insurrection against the established order.
Treason is the crime of disloyalty to ones nation or state; of the violation of public peace by levying war against the government.
Traitor is a person who betrays an oath of loyalty and in some way willfully cooperates with an enemy and giving enemies aid or comfort. Figures in history who are renowned for acts of treachery have subsequently had their names become synonymous with the word "traitor" such as Benedict Arnold.
I would like to relate these terms to Satan. First, let us consider the right to rule and with proper authority. Without question, nearly all individuals will state that God is the proper authority. God has this right by the position he holds as the creator of Heaven and Earth. He also has the right to rule his children as our Father and the creator of male and female. God is the ultimate authority in all the laws concerning mankind.
Second, Satan is sedition. Satan is treasonous. Satan is a traitor. He is all these and more. He is waging war on Gods kingdom. He is raging war on you and me. Remember in the first chapter, I stated that he wanted to be the supreme ruler. He still wants to be our ruler. This mutiny, the crime of conspiring to disobey in open rebellion against Gods proper authority, is his scheme to make man miserable like himself and cause pain or hurt.
My conclusion:
Protection against the influence of the Satans mutiny is essential in order to be obedient to God (the one with proper authority). Please take note of the italicized sentence in Article 94 about failure to do his or her "utmost to prevent or suppress a mutiny or sedition" is also held guilty. In war one must know the enemy that we may prevail and triumph. One must know the techniques of the enemy that when we see them that we will be prepared to counter them with the proper weapons. Mutineer, Devil, Dragon and Satan are names that have become synonymous with Evil throughout the cosmos.

If you're suffering from a broken nose and worrying about what to do next, you should seriously consider rhinoplasty or in common terms- a 'nose job'. Now, many people are put off by the idea of having to opt for plastic surgery. But, rhinoplasty for broken nose is actually one of the most favorable and highly recommended types of plastic surgery.
If you're looking for a rhinoplasty practice that provides quality service and will give the best results, Nose Job India is exactly what you need! Here, the cosmetic surgeons are well trained in both open and closed rhinoplasty techniques and your nose will be in good hands.
What are the two main methods of rhinoplasty to fix broken nose?
There are basically two main approaches for conducting rhinoplasty or nose plastic surgery. At Nose Job India, our plastic and cosmetic surgeons are specialised to conduct both types of rhinoplasty.
1) Closed Rhinoplasty- Under this approach, our surgeons conduct the rhinoplasty to fix broken nose by operating mainly through the nostrils of the patient. A few years ago, the medical world was of the opinion that closed rhinoplasty was better because it does not require an external incision. But at the same time, it was widely acknowledged that it was difficult to conduct rhinoplasty surgery without getting an adequate view of the nasal tissue.
2) Open Rhinoplasty- Under this approach, our surgeons basically create a small incision under the tip of the patient's nose to fix broken nose. This is done to allow a greater exposure of the nasal tissue, which is a must for grafting cartilage. Today, this new approach to rhinoplasty surgery has been improved to such an extent that our surgeons are able to create the incision and heal it in such a way, that it is practically invisible to the naked eye.
If you are unsure about open rhinoplasty, avail of a consultation at Nose Job India and speak to our experienced and qualified cosmetic surgeons. Depending on your case, they may advise you to opt for closed nasal fracture reduction, which is a method of closed rhinoplasty. This is generally advised for a typical case of a broken nose. Under this method, no incision is made to restructure the broken nasal cartilage.
This process generally involves the use of a blunt surgical instrument which the surgeon places inside the nose in order to push the nasal cartilage into the required alignment. You will be given an anesthetic or other numbing medication so that you don't feel the pain at all. Your nose is then properly aligned and a cast is placed to hold it in position. This cast is generally removed after a week. This is basically a protective measure to ensure that the newly set nose cartilage does not get positioned wrongly again.
Rhinoplasty for broken nose is usually a permanent solution and most cases are successful, but one must be cautious in the future because a restructured nose isn't as strong as a naturally unbroken nose. However, at Nose Job India, we ensure all patients are made fully aware about how to care for their newly re-structured nose.

Thor like motorcycle. pretty motorcycle.
"Triumph's ST1050 is truly great.. but just a little too heavy for my taste..."
i don't mean this in anything but a purely curious way: is there a sport tourer that is more your taste - that is, one that satisfies your power/ergo desires and is less than 462 pounds dry (possibly #3 in the list below)? i ask, again, simply out of curiosity, because when i compare the sprint's specs to three other high-end bikes that spring to mind, it throws into stark relief just how well designed the sprint is (and how its numbers are nevertheless conducive to a weight/power/torque trend) - it's only 13 pounds heavier than the ducati ST3s, for example. ergos aside, 462 pounds dry for a package such as the sprint appears to be nothing to sniff at - and if one wants less weight in an off-the-shelf solution, one must almost invariably sacrifice power and torque:
1. the bmw k1200gt: 549lbs/152hp/96lb-ft of torque/3.61lbs-per-hp
2. the triumph sprint st: 462lbs/125hp/77lb-ft of torque/3.69lbs-per-hp
3. the ducati st3s 449lbs/107hp/72lb-ft of torque/4.19lbs-per-hp
4. the bmw f800st: 412lbs/85hp/63lb-ft of torque/4.84lbs-per-hp
as john fortescue said in 1471, "comparisons are odious," and scarcely does this apply more than in the arena of juxtaposing motorcycle specs, but there are still correlations to be derived from these numbers. if you were to graph these numbers, you'd see that - from a sample of high-end sport tourers - decreasing weight tends to mean decreasing performance and higher pounds-to-horsepower ratios. it's all a compromise, and the reason why i ask what would be more "your taste" is because there might possibly be a sport-tourer that breaks this apparent mold which i am not aware of (i.e., one that's not available on this side of the pond).
"... so I retain the right to "complain" !"
...and god bless free speech - motorcycling is a subjective game of chess between your wallet, the pleasure/logic centers in your cerebral cortex, and what the manufacturers have to offer at a given point in time. if nothing tickles your pleasure zones* this year enough to throw down on a new ride, nobody can tell you otherwise. but i would hold that on an offerings basis, there is a wide variety of excellent motorcycles available (even in the hard-to-define sport-touring segment alone), price-wise and performance-wise.
as it seems, your quest might just be a simple matter of either
a) purchasing a sportbike with the power-to-weight ratio that you desire, and bolting on some quality givi cases and an LSL bar for acceptable ergos, or
b) waiting until made-for-the-masses motorcycle technology has progressed far enough to put up the numbers you desire in an (again) off-the-shelf, mass-produced sport-tourer. it will eventually get there.
/rambling off. cheers
*you can always tickle your own pleasure zones, but i think the church has rules against that
Ich Tarzan, du Jane / Wir gehen in den Jungle / Da kann uns niemand sehen / Wir machen dann Bum Bum / Das haut die Affen um

The FZ1 and new Bandit 1250, even a Z1000 would all seem to fit the bill. All lean more toward the Sport end of the spectrom but can tour with a tank bag and some soft bags.
Just my opinion, worth what you paid for it

Excellent reply.. well thought out.
Yes, I agree that numbers alone can't represent TASTE. Hmm.. For reference sake, I'm currently on a Bandit 1200 (first generation), lightly stripped and modified. I'm in my late Forties, and have been through a dozen four-cyclinder bikes since 1977 when I bought the very first Suzuki GS750 available, (my first bike in 1972 was a 1968 Yamaha YL-1 !)
I'm not a "racer" anymore.. I gave that up with my blessed GSXR1000, the only bike I truly cried over selling. Sorry, these race-replicas are simply ridiculous for the street, and many of my Shop-buddies quietly agree. Nowadays, you can lose your license with one fat gear-change in the wrong place, on one of those screamers.
I don't like heavy bikes.. in ANY genre. If I need to CORNER suddenly or STOP, I don't want a refrigerator underneath me, and I hate anything with saddlebags. If I can't bungee in on behind me, it stays home.
Yeah, the Sprint is sweet.. and has great reviews.. but about that WEIGHT- I sat on one in a dealership and the first thing that impacted me was the HEFT. It certainly felt a lot heavier than my 1200 Bandit that I'd just rode in on. The only other problem is price; a new Sprint is near to 12 Large, with taxes amd all.
The reason I keep mentioning that CB1100R concept bike is that it's very close to what I always dreamed Suzuki might have done with the Bandit, after the first generation series. Instead, they went fatter and more towards TOURING with that big barn-door fairing and more weight. I was disappointed.
I like the concept of the FZ1 very much, but Yamaha really went screwey with all that amorphous styling. What's going on with that EXHAUST system? My God...Looks like an Electrolux inside-out.
OKAY.. What do I Really Want?
Something like an 2008-style FZ6 Yamaha... but with 1200cc's or so. THAT's what I call proper lines and function.
That oughta get my checkbook out.

You are but a child
yearning for glory
without knowing the
weapons or how best
to use them.
The gift of knowledge,
so slow to attain –
once yours,
remains within forever,
to be pulled forth
when needed.
As with a child,
you will grow . . .
passing stages in
an ever accelerated pace,
on to loftier aims.
But again –
a child learns first
to creeping crawl
close to the ground.
Next tottering precariously
on weaving legs,
quick to buckle down,
with many falls.
He tip-toe teeters forward,
unsteady limbs
propelling him onward
against his will –
crying when defeat
crosses his path.
Running comes last
through the clean, sweet air.
But battle scars
are always won –
before the medal is obtained.

Group Classes
We understand how important giving your puppy the right start in life is. We also understand how busy family life can be! Whatever your time availability we have a program to suit your family and your puppy.
All our puppy training is based on a combination of the University of Lincoln 'Life Skills for Puppies' course following the 10 Puppy Life Skills and the Victoria Stilwell Academy Basic Good Manners Behaviours.
We offer a full 6 week course which is perfect if you have a young family you are trying to involve or if you would value the time to really focus on your puppy wrangling skills for an hour a week. We find that people on this course really value support from the other puppy parents they meet and often form dog walking friendships with their fellow puppy families. As this course runs in a public venue and we often take lessons outside, puppies need to have had both vaccinations before they can start this course.
If you are looking for the cheapest classes in town with large, noisy classes and old-school training, then we are not for you. If progressive, positive training in small classes, with qualified instructors and a well-structured program is what you're after…then you've found us!
Our training venues are:
Fareham at Doggy Day Care Solent, 17 Bridge Industries, Fareham, PO16 8SX on Saturday afternoons and Horndean at Queen Elizabeth Country Park Gravel Hill, PO8 0QE on Friday afternoons
Links to book onto all our Fareham classes and talks can be found on our Eventbrite page – click here to book a place
Next PUPPY Class start dates (6 week course):
Fareham – Saturday 6th January 2018 at 2pm – 2 spaces left
QECP, Horndean – Friday 19th Jan at 2pm – 6 spaces left
One your puppy has completed our Life Skills course, they will be able to go on to complete our 'Life Skills Levels' classes. Older pups and adult dogs who didn't get the chance to do out puppy classes are also welcome. Levels classes enable you to book 6-week blocks to fit in with your availability and allow you to work at your dog's pace.
Life Skills Improvers Class start dates (6 week blocks):
Fareham – Saturday 6th January 2018 at 3pm – 4 spaces left
There are 4 levels which you can work through at your own pace. You can book as many 6-week blocks as you need to complete each level and take breaks between each block of 6 weeks to allow time for holidays etc
STOP PRESS! We can now offer Dog Activity Classes at QE Country Park, Horndean for dogs over 8 months of age. These classes increase muscular strength, balance and confidence in dogs of any age and ability. We offer these classes in 4 week block bookings.
Next Dog Activity Class at QECP starts Friday 19th Jan at 11am – 8 spaces available

The Government is spending over £450 million on improving Physical Education (PE) and sport in primary academies and schools.
Funding is allocated directly to academies and is used to develop the PE and sport activities that the school already offers, as well as making improvements that will benefit pupils joining the school in future years.
Schools can choose how they use the funding, for example:
- Hiring qualified coaches to work with teachers
- Providing existing staff with training or resources to help teach PE and sport more effectively
- Introducing new sports or activities and encourage more people to take up sport.
- Supporting and involving the least active children by running or extending school sports clubs, holiday clubs and Change4Life clubs.
- Running sports competitons
- Increasing pupil participation in school games
- Running sports activities with other schools.
How we use our funding
Here at Reedswood, our PE and sport funding has been used to improve both the provision of PE teaching as well as pupils' engagement in a range of sports.
- Funding has been used to encourage participation in physical activity during lunchtime and after-school clubs.
- A budget has also been allocated to support participation in the School Games, thus allowing a variety of children to take part in both intra and inter-academy/school competitions. The academy is committed to achieving the School Games Mark.
- The academy has worked closely with coaches from Walsall Football Club in previous years.
- This year we have employed a sports coach to work full-time in school: Mr. Beck teaches across all year groups and will support a variety of after-school clubs as well as modelling lessons on a termly basis for individual members of staff.
The academy was awarded the Gold School Games award in both 2016 and 2017, which recognises the tremendous achievement of the academy in recent years.
For more information on our achievements over the past year, click here.

I have to begin this newsletter with Angela Felgate, whose death from cancer ten days ago at the age of 55 saddened all of us who knew her. It was expected and yet a shock. Coleridge has an achingly beautiful marginal note in The Rime of the Ancient Mariner:
"In his loneliness and fixedness he yearneth towards the journeying Moon, and the stars that still sojourn, yet still move onward; and everywhere the blue sky belongs to them, and is their appointed rest and their native country and their own natural homes, which they enter unannounced, as lords that are certainly expected, and yet there is a silent joy at their arrival."
Angela's death was 'certainly expected' and yet there is a silent, deep, shared sorrow at her departure, among ARLT members as well as at Talbot Heath School. I wrote briefly in the ARLT Blog when I heard the sad news from Robert West -
Robert has explained: "Since her diagnosis four to five years ago, she had become progressively less active in ARLT, which is why some of you will not have known her, but she made a very deliberate and brave appearance for one day at the Summer School in 2003."
He says: "She edited the JACT Review for us for some years, and enlivened many a Summer School."
Her funeral service will be at St Aldhelm's Church, Branksome on Friday, 22nd April at 2.30 p.m. followed by committal at Bournemouth Crematorium. Inquiries re flowers or charitable donations to Tapper Funeral Service, Poole (Tel. 01202 673164). I am sorry that I shall be at the memorial service for a cousin at just that time and so shall be unable to be present. I believe that she has entered her 'appointed rest and .. native country' and her own natural home, and there is joy in heaven, whether silent or tumultuous, at her arrival.

I hope you die,
you were my boyfriend
and you made me cry.

It's like a full-time job,
and we should treat it like one.
If your boyfriend or girlfriend
wants to leave you,
they should give you two weeks' notice.
There should be severance pay,
and before they leave you,
they should have to find you a temp.
I am just a girl..

A time to read and a time to write.
A time to learn and a time to teach.
A time to listen and a time to be heard.
A time to lose and a time to gain.
And for all of these things the time is now.
I wouldn't call him a slave.
I don't whip him

Just when he does something good.
No one is spared the pain of rejection,

Which my ex boyfriend just happens to be both of.
You made me cry...
You tore me apart..
You left me in tears..
You've shattered my heart..
It wasn't your fault..

Review: Vivino Wine Scanner App
If you're exploring the world of wine and are anything like me, you'll spend ages in the wine aisle pondering your choice and then end up with the £6 bottle you usually get.
Being bored of the same old bottle, I decided to give the Vivino wine app a go, which is helping the average wine drinker to branch out with their choices and to, hopefully, educate us all on wine.
To get started, open the Vivino app and take a photo of any wine label in order to learn that wine's average rating, reviews, and average price instantly.
What I hadn't realised is that Vivino not only offers the above information but brings together a community of wine-lovers, connecting its users.
On opening the app, I was asked for my full name, email and had the option to add a photo. It was very Facebook-esque and, honestly, put me off. I reluctantly entered my details anyway and found the world of wine waiting for me.
Ready to get my wine on, I took to Tesco to try it out.
The app is really user friendly and every label I scanned gave me results within about 2 seconds. The app then gives you a star rating, average price, country and year, and user comments.
I decided on Rioja for the night and scanned five labels to compare.
Now, here comes the problem. Every bottle of wine, of various countries and prices, was rated between 3.4 and 3.8. Unfortunately, it seems that there aren't yet enough users to give an accurate average score based on what users think.
These ratings and reviews aren't from wine connoisseur's either, it's just you and me giving our opinion. As something like wine is quite subjective, the app really needs a lot more people to use it in order to bring its central idea to life. And I hope that they do!
The thing I most enjoyed with Vivino is the suggestion of food pairings with different wines and a list of characteristics for your chosen wine. This element is more useful than the reviews, but be aware that you have to scroll past the reviews to find this information, so it took me a while to realise it was there at all.
There are a few other great features on the app, including articles about wine, charts for the best wines in certain price ranges. It also saves your scanned wines so that you can return to your old favourites.
While the ratings just aren't consistent enough yet, if you're interested in learning more about wine and like the community aspect, then give Vivino a go. I have to say, my 3.7 rated bottle of wine was really rather nice.

Starting a business can be one of the most exciting, liberating and rewarding experiences of your working life—but it can also be a minefield of doubts and worries. Don't be put off!
At Renault, we've seen many successful business start-ups, and we'd like to share advice on simple steps you can take. Success is never guaranteed, but there are plenty of ways to improve your odds and approach your business start-up with confidence. Let's go!
#1 Starting your own business—why?
It sounds almost too obvious even to ask, but a successful business start-up can always use a bit of honest introspection. Examine your motives. Getting rich quick may be a great reason to buy a lottery ticket, but as a model for starting your own business it is, frankly, a non-starter. Now, if you're driven by a great idea, a skill or craft that you have and feel passionate about, or you've spotted a gap in the market in your particular field or location … that's more like it!
#2 Make a list of your business start-up resources
Many people who aspire to become entrepreneurs fixate on how to get started with little or no money. Two things: one, it's not necessarily about starting with a huge investment; two, helpful resources for starting a business take many different forms.
Jot down a list of all the things you have going for you. This could include a good head for figures, great people skills, or a supportive network of friends and family. Make an honest assessment of your aptitudes and skills, and compare yourself to others: what is something you can do, that others in your field or vicinity can't (or not as well)?
#3 Running through the basics of starting a business
Think of the practical details and external factors that can make a difference on start-up. For example, do you or one of your relations have the accounting basics to fill in a tax return? Can you drive? Check out what vans can I drive on my driving licence. Do you have premises?
If you're starting your business working at home, check any impact on your council tax and consider any possible downsides. What are the issues around tax breaks and legalities? You don't need all the answers straight away: just make sure you've given yourself time and space to identify the questions.
#4 Talk, ask, listen: an essential part of your business planning
Don't underestimate the pool of knowledge held by friends, family and workmates. Look back to the persons in your list from #3: could they have useful input on starting up your business? Keep asking around, keep talking, keep listening: something useful is sure to come up. And don't forget the role of specialist businesses. Naturally, we will be happy to advise on Renault vans and the best Renault van for your business, but all sorts of other professionals will be of help too: accountants, insurance providers, employment experts, etc. You may very well need some of their services when business starts picking up steam.
#5 Go over some nitty-gritty business start-up logistics
Excellent, you're well on your way to writing a business plan. But first, you may want to spend a little more time thinking and gathering facts, more specifically on nitty-gritty details. These could include:
How visible is your business identity?
You need to make sure your business start-up will be visible on internet search engines, maps, address checkers and directories. Is your brand name of choice already taken? Is there a Web domain name up for the taking?
Communication and security
You need to be reachable by contacts, clients, suppliers and potential customers. You will also likely be mobile. Are your telecommunication systems reliable? Do you have back-ups of your data?
Transport for business
If yours is the kind of business that needs reliable transport as part of its operations, have you considered the best van on the market for your needs? Here's where Renault can really help your planning process by pointing out the many benefits of the models in its range—does a Renault Trafic fit the bill or is the Renault Kangoo Van more readily adaptable to your purposes?
#6 Outline your start-up costs with a capital budget
If you need an initial injection of start-up cash, quantify the amount and the detail. First, you need to make a capital budget: a list of the tangible assets that are essential to getting started. A friendly word of warning: don't think too big or get carried away with top-of-the-range equipment right at the beginning. Whether it's computers, telecommunications or premises, the rule should be "work with what you've got", so long as it is reliable. Instead, focus on the essentials that your enterprise could not operate without from day one, such as your business transport, specialist tools, stock-in-trade or storage space.
#7 Plan your business budget for running costs and income
After planning for day one with the capital budget, the next step—you guessed it—is to plan for day two. Write up a business budget detailing the income and expenditure that goes into the day-to-month-to-year running of your business. Both aspects can get a bit convoluted, so start simple with your income assumptions. What daily rate are you setting? What is the most efficient system for receiving and making payments?
On the expenditure side of things, start by analysing all your running costs such as fuel, utility bills, office supplies and insurance. Last but not least, you must include a contingency figure—for things you haven't thought of yet or unforeseen emergencies. Either way, you can be certain you will need it. A good rule of thumb is to allow for 12 months' worth of running costs, without any income to offset it, as a contingency planning figure.
#8 Write a business plan
Don't be surprised this didn't come higher up the list! When you're considering how to start a business, it's too easy to jump straight into writing a plan before you've done the basic legwork. Now that you've really thought things through, done the research and consulted, you're ready. You won't find any shortage of advice and help on how to write a business plan, but remember this is your enterprise. No two people go about starting a business in exactly the same way, and there are no off-the-shelf solutions. Set out the basic business idea, exactly what it aims to achieve, how, at what cost and over what timescale. Make sure to add your capital and income & expenditure budgets.
#9 Produce an executive summary of your business plan
And now, the last steps to the finish line. Summarise your business plan, ideally in no more than a couple of sheets, and summarise both capital and running costs budgets. The executive summary is an invaluable tool when approaching financial organisations for business start-up loans or investment, or when raising finance for business transport. When things start to grow, you will have this distillation of all your research and hard work in a handy format in case, for example, you want to employ one or more people or commission a new website.
#10 Start out on your business adventure
You've worked out how to start a business. Congratulations, you've made it through the first major step of your new adventure! All that's left to do is to hang on to your confidence in your idea, get into gear, and set off on the road to running your own business. We can't wait to see what you'll accomplish!

After dinner and drinks with a few friends a couple weeks ago, one of my friends suggested that we get some gelato for dessert. We ended up at Gelateria delle Moline – a business that has been in the same family for three generations. After a couple of us began gobbling up orders of the Italian version of an ice cream sandwich (you get to choose two gelato flavors to place inside this deliciously deadly, homemade brioche bun – SO GOOD), we began talking with one of the owners, Marco.
After a couple minutes of polite chit-chat, he asked us if we wanted to see what it's like behind the scenes of a gelateria. Of course, we gave an enthusiastic yes. Marco explained that they make all their gelatos fresh every day, which was quite incredible considering how tiny the kitchen was.
He said that the process was actually very simple and involved making a large amount of base (which consists of only milk, eggs, and sugar) then adding flavor into some of the base, which varies depending on what type of gelato he's making. The flavors can be any combination of various chocolates, fruits, nuts, and cremas. And that's it – simple and authentic Italian gelato.
Marco told us that the most popular flavor at the shop is the caffe (coffee) but he said he doesn't like coffee much so he prefers the crema, a super creamy gelato that tastes like custard. He may be the first Italian I've met that doesn't like coffee! Nevertheless, Marco was a part of the most memorable gelato experience I've had since moving here and I'll definitely be going back once the weather gets warmer.

Just as there seemed little more that we could say on the subject of regulation, the ongoing plot has taken a surprise turn and a new chapter has been opened with the start of 2002.
Although many in the industry predicted the next move would be for the FSA to usher advisers under its regulatory belt, the timing was unexpected.
Whether this was a shock tactic used by the regulator's PR team to ignite interest in the tedious debate on CP98, we'll never know. We prefer to believe that the FSA wanted to begin the new year with a fresh start and hopefully a more sensible and workable approach to mortgage regulation.
The news has, in the main part, been welcomed. A deep sigh of relief can already be heard from lenders, having had the responsibility of making sure advisers stay compliant lifted from their reluctant shoulders. Advisers too are welcoming the fact that they will not have to waste time dealing with numerous compliance visits from lenders.
However, beneath this feeling of relief is a state of confusion. Advisers have been left wondering why there needs to be all-encompassing regulation. Why, they ask, should the majority have to pay for the mistakes of the foolish minority?
Lenders are also left to wonder whether the change in regime could herald the end of the dreaded pre-application illustration. This seems unlikely, but if any common sense has been knocked into the FSA, we should hopefully see a shorter and more consumer-friendly version.
The amount of money invested in order to come up with compliance aids in time for August this year has been phenomenal. Trading platforms, in particular, have invested heavily in the race to provide the best electronic solution.
Platforms are, however, putting on a brave face and insist that systems can adapt to any change the FSA throws at them. Now that they have until 2004 to prepare, there will be no room for excuses, so let's keep our fingers crossed that the promises turn into reality.
Finally, let's hope the FSA has made its new year's resolution to think proposals through before offering them to the industry for consultation. That way there may be an outside chance that no more time and money will be wasted.

Hypnosis for Emotional/Behavioural Issues
Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool to resolve emotional issues from the past, and to bring in new and empowering perspectives to help you manage your present and future with resilience.
The use of hypnosis has been endorsed by some of the largest Psychological and Psychiatric Associations:
- 1958 – The Canadian Psychological Association endorses hypnosis.
- 1960 – The American Psychological Association endorses hypnosis.
- 1961 – American Psychiatric Association endorses hypnosis as a therapeutic procedure.
Since 1995, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has recommended hypnotherapy as a treatment for anxiety, smoking cessation, and several medical conditions.
With hypnotherapy, you can often achieve your emotional goals within a single session.
Don't like psychopharmaceuticals? Hypnotherapy is a highly-effective drug-free approach to resolving the psycho-emotional issues being marketed to by the pharmaceutical industry, such as anxiety, depression, and insomnia — and with no side effects!
Hypnotherapy allows you to access the deeper wisdom of your subconscious mind and to resolve emotional issues at their core. Through time travel in the mind into your past and reframing "negative" events into neutral or positive learning experiences, relief can be quickly brought to a lifetime of suffering.

Medical Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy harnesses the mind-body connection.
The use of hypnosis has been endorsed by some of the largest major Medical Associations:
- 1955 – The British Medical Association endorses the medical use of hypnosis.
- 1958 – The American Medical Association approves hypnosis as a therapeutic procedure. (Rescinded)
- 1958 – The Canadian Medical Association endorses hypnosis.
Since 1995, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has recommended hypnotherapy as a treatment for anxiety, headaches, chronic pain, irritable bowel syndrome, smoking cessation, and hot flashes in breast cancer survivors.
New branches of science such as psychoneuroimmunology and psychoneuroendocrinology are unravelling the mysteries of the mind-body connection. In the meantime, hypnotherapists are out in the world using well-established techniques to direct the body's resources for healing.
Hypnosis has been proven to be effective with a wide variety of medical conditions, thanks to research by well-respected medical institutions.

German electronics giant Siemens could pull out of mobile phones in January, though a spokesman denied a news report that the company has already decided to sell its phones business to a Chinese company.
The Sunday edition of German business newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported that Siemens is to sell its mobile phone business to China's Ningbo Bird, a company which already has a distribution agreement with Siemens in China.
A Siemens spokesman denied this report, but said Siemens could decide on the future of its mobile phone manufacturing division as early as next month. "We are waiting for all the units within our newly merged communications group to submit budgets before we make a decision," the spokesman said. "This process should be finished by the end of January."
"We have not made any decisions yet," the spokesman said. "We have a few options: we can cooperate with another company, restructure the mobile phone business or sell it." A spokesman for Ningbo Bird declined to comment.
Siemens' mobile phone business posted a loss of 141 million euros (£97 million) in the quarter that ended 30 September. The company attributed the loss to competition from lower-priced handsets and quality problems that delayed the rollout of the company's new 65 series of smartphones, which include Blackberry software.
At the launch of the SK65 in August, Siemens said its phone division was here to stay. However, in a laboratory test, Siemens researchers discovered that when batteries in this series ran down during a call, the disconnection warning tune could possibly play extremely loudly, causing hearing damage. The company has since corrected the problem.

Today I visited the same places as yesterday, as well as some other sites. 3 rings could be read, one of them was a 2nd cal LBBG, ringed in the colony of Zeebrugge last year! Very nice to see such a bird, my first immature LBBG in Gent from this project. The other ones were blue ones from RJ Buijs, again including 1 new ring (the other one was blue HF, a regular bird in Gent this spring).
Frustrating was the presence of a pair of Mediterranean gulls, one of them wearing a white ring, but they stood just too far away to read the ring. Two more MedGulls were seen flying south, they seem to be leaving their breeding grounds now.
LBBG blue 0J (RJ Buijs), new bird to me, and only the second observation of this bird, the previous one being in October 2008 in Cádiz, Spain.
A very bad picture of LBBG blue LSA.A (E Stienen), my first immature LBBG of this project in Gent!

So, Woody Allen has been honoured at the 2014 Golden Globes for "a lifetime of achievement in writing, producing and directing films" about a month ago, and that made people recall this 8pp long article (1992) about his past with Dylan. Well, I looked through it too, so here're the worth-reading parts of it. Enjoy(?)
There was an unwritten rule in Mia Farrow's house that Woody Allen was never supposed to be left alone with their seven-year-old adopted daughter, Dylan. Over the last two years, sources close to Farrow say, he has been discussing alleged "inappropriate" fatherly behavior toward Dylan in sessions with Dr. Susan Coates, a child psychologist. In more than two dozen interviews conducted for this article, most of them with individuals who are on intimate terms with the Mia Farrow household, Allen was described over and over as being completely obsessed with the bright little blonde girl. He could not seem to keep his hands off her. He would monopolize her totally, to the exclusion of her brothers and sisters, and spend hours whispering to her. She was fond of her daddy, but if she tried to go off and play, he would follow her from room to room, or he would sit and stare at her. During the school year, Allen would arrive early at Mia Farrow's West Side Manhattan apartment, sit on Dylan's bed and watch her wake up, and take her to school. At her birthday party last July, at Farrow's country house in Bridgewater, Connecticut, he promised that he would keep away from the children's table so that Dylan could enjoy her birthday party with her friends, but he seemed unable to do that. Allen, who was a fearful figure to many in the household, was so needy where Dylan was concerned that he hovered over her through the whole party, and when the cake arrived, he was right behind her, helping to blow out the candles.
..according to several sources, Woody, wearing just underwear, would take Dylan to bed with him and entwine his body around hers; or that he would have her suck his thumb; or that often when Dylan went over to his apartment he would head straight for the bedroom with her so that they could get into bed and play.
One summer day in Connecticut, when Dylan was four and Woody was applying suntan lotion to her nude body, he alarmed Mia's mother, actress Maureen O'Sullivan, and sister Tisa Farrow when he began rubbing his finger in the crack between her buttocks.
"When she just wanted to giggle and run away and play, he'd be right behind her. And I just looked at it, and I'd shake my head and think, I hope this is a great thing," says Pascal. "It was to the point that when we would go over there I wouldn't run over and talk to her or anything. I'd talk to Satchel, but it's like you don't even dare talk to Dylan when he's around."
Several times last summer, while Woody was visiting in Connecticut, Dylan locked herself in the bathroom, refusing to come out for hours. Once, one of the baby-sitters had to use a coat hanger to pick the lock. Dylan often complained of stomachaches and headaches when Woody visited: she would have to lie down. When he left, the symptoms would disappear. At times Dylan became so withdrawn when her father was around that she would not speak normally, but would pretend to be an animal.
On August 4, Woody was in Connecticut to visit the children, and Mia and Casey went shopping, taking along Mia's two most recently adopted children—a blind Vietnamese girl named Tam, 11, and Isaiah, a seven-month-old black baby born to a crack-addicted mother. While they were gone, there was a brief period, perhaps 15 minutes, when Woody and Dylan vanished from sight. The baby-sitter who was inside searched high and low for them through the cluttered old farmhouse, but she couldn't find them. The outside baby-sitter, after a look at the grounds around the house, concluded the two must be inside somewhere. When Mia got home a short time later, Dylan and Woody were outside, and Dylan didn't have any underpants on.
That day, August 5, Casey called Mia to report something the baby-sitter had told her. The day before, Casey's baby-sitter had been in the house looking for one of the three Pascal children and had been startled when she walked into the TV room. Dylan was on the sofa, wearing a dress, and Woody was kneeling on the floor holding her, with his face in her lap. The baby-sitter did not consider it "a fatherly pose," but more like something you'd say "Oops, excuse me" to if both had been adults. She told police later that she was shocked. "It just seemed very intimate. He seemed very comfortable."

Skirmishes, Battles & Campaigns
The entire AUS30K website revolves around two main items; Armies and Reports; the armies represent represent the forces which the players use on a regular basis while the Reports represent the games played by those players and their impacts on the in game universe.
There are three levels of Reports, each one providing greater levels of depth in regards to fluff and story, with all of them linking to the armies involved and providing influence over the planets which they are played on.
Skirmish Reports
This is the base line report which all players can make. It contains little to no fluff and is primarily focused on the aspects of the game played; who defeated who on behalf of which faction. It is normally the winners responsiblity to lodge the Skirmish report, to prevent double ups, however if only one player is using the AUS30K system then the opponent can still lodge the report and use a placeholder name for their opponent.
When submitting Skirmish reports under the Global Heresy the player only needs to enter the following pieces of information:
Date: The date on which the game took place (this will be converted to the 30K date format automatically)
Victors Faction: The faction for which the Victor was fighting for, i.e Loyalist, Traitor, Ork etc
Victor: The Army ID of the winner Defeated: The Army ID of the loser
If the report is being submitted against a Local System then some additional pieces of information need to be added:
Planet: The details of the planet where the fight took place, these can be left blank but will not contribute towards Influence over a planet. By default a Skirmish will only ever add a single (1) point of influence.
In both cases there is also a Draw indicator, defaultly set to No (n), in the rare circumstances that the game was a draw this can be changed to Yes (y) to indicate a drawn game.
Battle Reports
The Battle Reports are the most common form of report and the most flexible, they can be used to report a casual game for two players in the garage all the way up to a 20 players club day. These reports are designed to add fluff and story to the universe and as such they contribute more Influence for a factions ownership of the planet which the report is based on. The reports not only list the players armies involved, but contains area for a summary of the battle which took place, the ability to upload photos of the games, maps of the battle lines etc.
The main difference between the Skirmish and the Battle is that a Battle can contain more than two players, it contains fluff/narrative and it does not (directly) effect the armies Summary of Opponents statistics. However the Battle Reports have the ability to allow Skirmish Reports to be created within them so that the players can ensure that their armies Summary stats are updated from the games played, again this is the responsibility of the players involved if they wish to have their Skirmish Reports created. A Battle Report is also worth five (5) influence points against the target planet, which is in addition to any Skirmish Reports as well.
For games which were more than just two players, it is recomended that a single person be in charge of creating the Battle Report, often the person who organised the event and kept records as they will need everyones Army ID's and the overall results.
Campaign Reports
The final type of report is for Campaigns; these are reserved for very well orgnised games, something like an ongoing Club Slow Grow League or a major event at a convention etc. They are always based around a planet not currently targeted by the Global Heresy, often creating a new planet specifcally for the event. These reports should contain a high level of fluff and story along with photos and links to really enahnce the in game universe. Similar to Battle Reports, a Campaign can have not only Skirmish Reports created within them, but they can also contain multiple Battle Reports to represent different stages of the Campaign or different rounds of the event. They add a considerable amount of influence towards a planet (15 points!) which is in addition to both Battle Reports and Skirmish Reports which can be created within it.
In addition all armies involved in a Campaign will have a special Campaign Honour attached their armies profile to represent their participation, these Campaign Honours can be used by groups and clubs to give that army a small ongoing benefit, like a single non IC model gaining a Master Crafted Bolter, based on the fluff of the Campaign. To help personalise these major events and to provide a token/keepsake we have also orgnised with various suppliers to be able to have custom Dog Tags made for Campaigns with the Loyalist and Traitor emblems engraved on them along with a brief description of the Campaign stamped into them. For groups interested in using this resource, please contact the Admin Team or Dono1979.
A Note on Influence Points
The decision was made to lock influence at a certain level to ensure that points were accumulated consistantly across the globe. One country may play a certain way which would result in a lot more 'in-game' points then others which would skew the tallies, whereas having a single consistent format for points will allow for wins to count towards the same amount. For local Campaigns we can organise a different method if you prefer, like the influence actually being the winning score but that places a LOT of empahsis on individual games. Someone who gets a lucky game and scores a crazy high win may be able to lose the following five games but still be winning the planet, however if that is a method you like then we can do that.

As luck would have it, there has been an especially nice run of words on my tear-off daily calendar this week. A lot of the words are appropriate to teach to Jenna(2.5). If I want my daughter to someday have a vaunted vocabulary, then I need to be mindful of working new words into our ordinary conversation, every day.
Yesterday's word was scour. That's a really easy word to use with Jenna when we are playing with our toy kitchen. We really need to scour that sink out!
In a few days, the word will be inkling. I can use that word while Jenna is engaged in one of her new favorite activities, doing a simple magic trick from Bruce's Magic Box.
Here's the red fluffy ball.
Jenna puts it in the box.
She closes the box and makes the red fluffy ball disappear. I have no inkling how she does it! 😉

Home-Garden-2011, a photo by Bryan Thatcher on Flickr.
The Sag Harbor Express included the outdoor shower I designed for my little cottage in Montauk in the 2011 East End Home & Garden issue. Although I don't get any credit for either the design or the photograph that I supplied them it's pretty cool to see it in print. Here is a post during the construction, and here was is the original design, it proved to be a bit too risqué.

Constipation is simply the result of consuming less fibers. The average adult needs 25 to 30 grams of fibres in a day. Take appropriate amounts of fibers to avoid bloating and cramping. Add more fiber filled foods to your diet gradually and also drink lot of water.
Berries : All berries like strawberry, blackberry are rich in fibers and low in calories, So you can eat a big bowl of this at a time.
Popcorn : Plain popcorn's are very rich in fibers as popcorn is a whole grain. Avoid butter or caramel popcorn.
Dried Fruits : Dried fruits such as raisins, figs, dates , prunes, apricots are a great source of fiber.
Whole grain bread : You should eat only brown or Atta bread. Stop using white Maida bread.
Broccoli : It is a rich source of fiber. You must eat it raw . But if you prefer the cooked one , then go for boiling , steaming, baking etc. Add a little bit of salt , pepper, lemon and olive oil . You will enjoy this healthy food.
Flax seeds: These help to bulk up stool . you can add it in wheat flour to make chappatis or sprinkle it on the salads.
European Style Salad : In
Europe many people eat salad at the end of their meal. This helps to push the
rest of meal through the digestive tract.
Prunes : Prunes are excellent source of fiber. It contains sorbitol , a stool loosening sugar that naturally helps relieve constipation.
Water : Hydrate Well . Start your day with a big glass of water . To relieve from constipation 1.5 to 2.0 liter water should be consumed daily.
Note:- Eat fruits with their skin like plums, pear, apple etc . Potatoes with skin provide you with a great amount of fiber. Boiling and meshing potato with its skin is a good way to serve it.

Horrible decoration on a motorbike
Isn't it funny to stick a doll on the motor of a motorbike? It looks terrible or horrible indeed. We found it at the car park of the World Trade Center. (Vietnam to Bangkok, Thailand)
Horrible decoration on a motorbike
Isn't it funny to stick a doll on the motor of a motorbike? It looks terrible or horrible indeed. We found it at the car park of the World Trade Center. (Vietnam to Bangkok, Thailand)
Ah-Chin's birthday
Today is the birthday of Ah Chin (right), never ask me her age, I'll not tell you. Pazu invited her and Khun Poj (left) to Fuji restaurant for lunch, but this is definitely not the best way to celebrate her birthday because she's almost overweight. (Vietnam to Bangkok, Thailand)
This is Yuki-chan from Japan, we met him in Nha Trang of Vietnam a few months ago, he came to Bangkok for a week and he knew only Nana, a place where discos were the norm. "Where did you go last night?" Pazu asked Yuki. "Nothing..." Yuki replied embarrassingly. Okay, we should respect your private hobby. (Bangkok, Thailand)
Back to Bangkok
And Pazu took the flight a day after the Mid-Autumn Festvial back to Bangkok, Uncle Dan sent him to the airport. The staff at the check-in counter asked Pazu if he wanted a wheelchair (his legs were okay... just his hands) and Pazu refused for sure. Staff at the airport or on the aeroplane had been very helpful, most tried to help him to move the luggage. So what's inside the luggage? Coffee, coffee and coffee... the only thing that we missed so much about Vietnam were 1. family there; 2. friends; 3. coffee, coffee and coffee! (Vietnam to Bangkok, Thailand)
Pazu was injured in Ayutthaya last month, he always thought his left palm or wrist was sprained only, so he didn't seek any further medical help except massaging himself with some Thai Boxing Balm. But after 2 weeks he couldn't help but think there must be something strange because he still couldn't take up a load a bit heavier. So Pazu went to the My Tho Provincial Hospital for an X ray check, "Oh very lucky, no problem", the doctor said. Pazu was too happy to have "confirmed" everything was fine so he had a carefree mind. Then after another week, Pazu's hand was still painful, he was being a bit more suspicious and then checked very carefully again, his untrained eyes finally spotted a fracture on the X ray film, it was right on his palm! Then he went to Doctor Huy to plaster his arm... hmmm.... it's going to be hot and itchy, especially when Pazu was going to ride his bike in Bangkok. And today is the Mid-Autumn Festival (Ngay Trung Thu) so we had a very big feast at grandpa's home. (My Tho, Vietnam)
Thai visa
This is a coffee shop right in front of the Thai Consulate and the couple were Anh Luan and Co Bich Ngan. Pazu got his new Thai visa so he could stay in Thailand a bit longer, US$30 for a 2-month tourist visa, US dollars is the only currency accepted inside, not Vietnam dongs and not even Thai baht. Pazu tried to talk to the receptionist lady in Thai, thinking she may be Thai, but she kept speaking English... oh she must be Vietnamese, so Pazu tried to talk to her in Vietnamese, she was still talking in English... (My Tho, Vietnam)
The very first escalator
My Tho is always like a town that never changes, the market is always the same. But this year it has something different, they have their first supermarket at last (and also the very first escalator in town!). People in My Tho were totally shocked by the moving staircase and some really had to take quite a lot of time to have enough courage to take the escalator, quite a funny sight, though they blocked the exit... this supermarket is said to be invested by a Taiwanese boss. Outside it you can see some photos, don't think that they got special prize from lucky draw, they were just thieves, stole something from the supermarket. (My Tho, Vietnam)
Well fed
It's always very well fed in Pazu's grandpa's home in My Tho of Vietnam, mango, tiger prawn (a very big species of prawn) and so on. Nothing is bad, but somehow Pazu misses Thailand very much. (My Tho, Vietnam)
Fly back to Vietnam
Why did Mr Oat go to the airport? Because Pazu went to the airport. And why did Pazu go to the airport? Because he had to fly back to Vietnam for some family matter. It's going to be a short trip and Pazu didn't want to take his bicycle along. Pazu wanted to take a photo to post on this blog, but couldn't really get it right. Oat wrinked his whole face and said, "You're taking too much photos!" And the second photo is the Mekong River view from Vietnam's sky. (Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh City, and then My Tho)

The Smiths - Oh now this one is obvious. Morrissey once called James the greatest band in the world. James opened for the Smiths in 1985, and apparently Tim and Moz were pals for a while anyway. The Smiths covered "What's the World" and it's a b-side to the U.S. rerelease of "Sweet and Tender Hooligan."
Morrissey - Well, if you know who the Smiths are then you know this one as well. James covered his song, "We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful." And there's that Tim-Moz friendship thing as well. We've reviewed his last album here.
New Order - James' old Factory label mates. James opened for them back in the early '80's sometime.
Joy Division - Well, the impetus to the creation of Factory records, the label that signed James in 1983. Also, an early influence on the band.
Electronic - Well...Johnny Marr of the Smiths + Bernard Sumner of Joy Division/New Order....
Inspiral Carpets - They toured with James and even sang backing vocals on "Goldmother." We have a review of their singles collection here.
Exit 52 - a Manchester band featuring Jim Glennie's brothers David and Peter.
The Wild Swans - Rumor has it that David Baynton-Power once auditioned for them and was rejected.
The Lovers - The new band featuring ex-Inspirals singer Tom Hingley, and ex-Wild Swans/Lotus Eaters Jerry Kelly. We've reviewed their first single here.
Monaco - Features Peter Hook, the bassist from New Order. Read an album review here.
Suede - Saul's current favorite. Tim decided he wanted to work with Bernard Butler, who played on the Booth and the Bad Angel LP, after seeing him when he was with Suede. Read a review of their LP here.
The Fall - Factory label mate, and early influence.
Iggy Pop - Tim loves him. "Johnny Yen" is about him.
The Birthday Party - One of Tim's early influences.
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Nick Cave got his start in the Birthday Party. He's an amazing songwriter and his work with the Bad Seeds is much less grating than with the Birthday Party. Tim once said that their "Ship Song" was his favorite piece of classical music.
Patti Smith - Only Tim Booth's favorite band ever!
Massive Attack - They wrote Dave's favorite song, "Unfinished Sympathy."
The Stone Roses - They played with James, and, well, without them, "Come Home" might not have been the smash hit it was.
The Charlatans - They played with James as well.
The Happy Mondays - They also played with James.
The Band of Holy Joy - Oops, yet another former opening act.
Thousand Yard Stare - And another.
The Man From Delmonte - Saul recorded a song with them at some point.
Sharkboy - Adrian's former band.
The Pale Fountains - Andy Diagram's original band.
The Spaceheads - Andy Diagram's current band.
Radiohead - Did we mention they opened for James once?
Orange Juice - James may have gotten their name from the guitarist. If it didn't come from James Kirk, James Joyce or James Glennie. Edwyn Collins also played with them. Oh yeah, James opened for them as Model Team International while Tim Booth was still just the band's dancer and the singer was some guy named Danny.
Roxy Music - Brian Eno's original outfit.
The Velvet Underground - James covered their song, "Sunday Morning."
Leonard Cohen - James covered his song, "So Long Marianne."
Unrest - they covered "Folklore"
Air Miami - They used to be in Unrest.
Voice of the Beehive - They covered "Sit Down."
Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine - The also covered "Sit Down" - or so we've been told.
Oasis - Rumor has it that Noel Gallagher was inspired to form a band after seeing James perform while he was working as a roadie for opening act, Inspiral Carpets.
R.E.M. - Ridiculous rumors about a Booth-Stipe affair circulated around Atlanta after Michael Stipe turned up at James' first gig in that city. They are completely unfounded, but Stipey did show Tim around Athens.
Hole - Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes I swear I can see HOLE.
Bernard Butler - He worked on Tim's solo project with Angelo Badalamenti.
Julee Cruise - Angelo Badalamenti's other musical partner.
Beck - One of Tim's favorite acts.
The Longpigs - Another band Tim has expressed like for.
The New Fast Automatic Daffodils - Manchester outfit that Tim said would be massive in an MTV interview in 1989.

The Gallery Cafe is nice and convenient to my office for the occassional meeting with a client or the occassional evening event. The food is a bit overpriced but they do have tasty cupcakes. Service is a bit hit and miss and the staff are sometimes not the friendliest...
Great food, great staff, chilled atmos!
Lovely food, good drinks and plays host to some great bands too...
I love the Gallery Cafe.
A peaceful place to work in during the day whilst drinking excellent coffees and eating great quality fresh food. As a regular I would say that their Gado Gado dish with tempeh is still one of my favourites of all times together with their tasty vegan burger. Cool events too in the evenings with regular gigs, poetry open mics and quirky film screenings. A did I mention the art exhibitions? They too need taking a look! It's little details like these that make a great cafe what it is. A rare find with friendly vibes, and so many sides to enjoy. I couldn't recommend more.
Such a cute little cafe!
I have been visiting the lovely Gallery Cafe for over 5 years. The relaxed ambience, beautiful views of the gardens and delicious vegan/veggie food make for a brilliant place to spend a lazy afternoon or catch up with some vegan friends (even though I'm a devoted meat-eater). Best of all, the cafe is part of St Margaret's House, which does great work in the community.
I absolutely adore this place and the selection of vegan food, tasty and yummy for non-vegan too. Lovely place although service is often slow :)
Fab veggie quesedillas, mezze and cakes. Friendly staff, inside and outside space and very handy for Bethnal Green tube. A winner!
They do vegan the best!
A great cafe with a warm ,positive and creative vibe . I love it :)
Great vibe
Great coffee, but terrible food.
Great atmosphere, friendly service, delicious vegan food. A local community treasure.
This is the best place for a vegan brunch in London! I love this place!
Lovely atmosphere, great coffee, good food, relaxing space.
A beautiful cafe with a lovely terrace and garden, great food and delicious coffee. Unfortunately the friendly efforts of some staff are overshadowed by an extremely unfriendly member of staff who makes you want to apologies for placing and order in the first place. Sadly, she ruins the entire atmosphere of Gallery Cafe and I will be sure to avoid the place when she is around.
Really nice place and very informal environment. It serves excellent coffee and food is generally good even if you are not vegetarian.
A great selection of events. http://thegallerycafe.wordpress.com/whatson/
But I don't like this coffee - they have no idea how to make a macchiato.

Comments about cycling, and cycle and bicycle touring in Europe - routes, carriage of bicycles by public transport, hotels, hostels, camp sites, bicycle rental, bicycle hire, life in Viernheim, Germany and living in the time of peak oil.

Saving weight when touring by bicycle, can you take it too far?
This is a cautionary tale that's worth bearing mind when you come to pack for the tour. Judith talked to a member of our walking club during a ramble. We are well known as cyclists and enjoy discussing cycling, so we are often asked our opinion about cycling matters. It turns out that the member and her husband started to save weight when cycle touring using hotels by not packing any nightwear. We assume they slept in the altogether. All went well until they found that the hotel they'd booked had showers/WCs across the corridor from their room rather than having facilities en suite. We always take simple night attire: a T-shirt and a pair of boxer shorts for me and an old thin light weight nightshirt for Judith. I don't think the extra weight adds much to the load.

Before Bhutan embarked on a planned economic development in the early 1960s, Bhutan by and large remained cut off from the rest of the world. The country was accessible only by foot from two main entry points in the North and South. From the north, the entry was from Tibet and was possible only by crossing the high passes while from the South it was through the plains of Assam and West Bengal. However, with the planned economic development, accessibility became easy with motorable roads connecting Bhutan with the other parts of the country.
Today the main points of entry are through Phuentsholing in the South that links Bhutan with the Indian plains of West Bengal, through Gelephu and Samdrup Jongkhar that link with the Indian state of Assam and through Paro, where the entry is through Druk Air, the National airline of Bhutan.
The country has so far only one international airport that caters to the needs of visitors coming in through flight. However, within Bhutan, there are domestic airline to Yonphula in eastern Bhutan, Bumthang in central Bhutan, and Gelephu in South-Central Bhutan. The International airport at Paro is located at a height of 7,300 ft above sea level and surrounded by Himalayas and hills as high as 16,000 ft. Druk Air flies to destinations such as Bangkok, Bodh Gaya, Dhaka, Delhi, Kathmandu, Kolkata, Guwahati in Assam and Singapore. The flights between Paro and Kathmandu is one of the most exciting ones as the aircraft passes over the four of the five highest mountains in the world. In fine weather, as you soar higher up, you can enjoy the spectacular display of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Makaly and Kangchenjunga at their best.
Gelephu, Phuentsholing and Samdrup Jongkhar in eastern Bhutan are the only land border areas open for international tourists. The town of Phuentsholing is located approximately 170 km east of the Indian national airport Bagdogra. After crossing Phuentsholing, your journey then begins its mountainous climb through numerous turns and hair-up bends till you enter Thimphu, The capital city of Bhutan. The travel time for the 176 kms stretch can be about six hours drive.
Gelephu, in south-central Bhutan is another entry point to Bhutan. It is approximately 250kms from Thimphu and the journey will take you through the sub-tropical areas of Bhutan before entering the alpine zone and then finally into Thimphu. One will have to traverse across three districts and the travel time will be about ten hours.
Samdrup Jongkhar is the only entry point from the eastern part of Bhutan. The town borders the Indian district of Darranga, Assam and is approximately 150 kms away from Guwahati, the capital city of Assam. The journey from Guwahati is about three hours. Tourists entering to Bhutan through Samdrup Jongkhar will take you to Trashigang, the largest district in the country and from then over the lateral route to Mongar, Bumthang, Trongsa, Wangduephodrang and then finally into Thimphu, the capital city. The distance is about 700 kms and will take you a minimum of three days to reach Thimphu.
