The Removal of Implied Right Of Access?
In recent times we have received a number of cases where a "Notice of Removal of Implied Right of Access" has been displayed by defendants.
Reliance upon the internet can be fraught with danger. For those of you who have not seen or do not know of such notices they originate with Freeman on the Land or Sovereign Citizen movements. It has been suggested (wrongly) that the occupier can make a claim of trespass against the enforcement agents or their company. This is not something we would recommend.
In Thornton v Rossendales 2013 Mr Thornton did just that following a visit by a certificated bailiff (now called enforcement agent) after Mr Thornton had sent a letter by registered post to Rossendales invoking his Removal of Implied Right of Access. In the letter he said that any attempt to enter onto his property would be deemed trespass and that a criminal complaint would be made against any violation and that a penalty of £750 would be charged. At the hearing Rossendales as the defendant rebuffed the claims made stating that it had authorisation from the local authority to execute distress (a copy of which was made available at the hearing), but that Regulation 45(1) Council Tax (Administration and Enforcement) Regulations 1992 (S.I.1992.613) provides that:
"Where a liability order has been made, the Billing Authority which applied for the order may levy the appropriate amount by distress and sale of goods of the debtor against whom the order was made"
Furthermore, Regulation 45(7) says that:
"A distress shall not be deemed unlawful on account of any defect or want of form in the liability order, and no person making a distress shall be deemed a trespasser on that account"
And that:
"no person making a distress shall be deemed a trespasser from the beginning on account of any subsequent irregularity in making the distress, but a person sustaining special damage by reason of the subsequent irregularity may recover full satisfaction for the special damage (and no more) by proceedings in the trespass or otherwise".
Judge Pugh questioned the legality of the claimant's case. He said that while he had no reason to query the use of Notice of Removal of Implied Right of Access, he felt that its relevance in this particular matter was left wanting, as withdrawing consent to the right of access to the property did not override the legal right of the bailiff.
He agreed with Rossendale's that the bailiffs had been granted powers by statute contained within the Council Tax (Administration and Enforcement) Regulations 1992 to levy distress and that as per Regulation 45(7) they could not be considered a trespasser
The Judge went on to say that as a liability order had already been granted by the magistrates court, he had no reason to "look behind" the validity of the application and did not intend to question this further, accepting that any appeal relating to the making of the order should have been made to the magistrates court after the original liability order hearing.
Furthermore, the Judge said that despite what the claimant had written in the notice regarding contractual terms and conditions, it was not a contract as there was no consideration from either party involved. The claimant could not simply rely on Rossendale's accepting the terms of the notice purely because they carried on with the lawful act of levying distress.
The Judge felt that the claimant was confusing the law of contract with the tort of trespass – which was a different element of law altogether. It was stated by Judge Pugh that it is a common misconception that trespassers can be automatically prosecuted when in fact they can. Instead, an aggrieved individual would have to demonstrate that there had been a loss as a result of damages caused by the defendant's alleged trespass.
Despite remonstrations from the claimant, the Judge dismissed any reference to the case Davis v Lisle (1936) mentioned in the claimants application, saying that it did not bear any direct relevance to the matter before him between the claimant and Rossendale's.
The question was put to the claimant; where was the loss in this particular instance? The claimant could not provide any evidence to support his claim
As the Rossendale's Bailiff had merely visited the property and left a notice confirming his attendance, any trespass would have been negligible and damages nominal.
In his final summary, the Judge made it clear to the claimant that he had been ill-advised in making his claim to the county court to try to prevent the bailiff from carrying out what he was perfectly legally entitled to do. From the claimants' response it was clear that he had been influenced by information on the internet when preparing his case.

Maintaining an optimum degree of fat within the body is able to help you have a best composition. It has the capability to do work once released. Another convenient method is to take advantage of the planimeter, as explained in the former chapter. It entails the use of engineering principles and methodologies to produce textiles.

To receive the best results, you ought to keep yourself motivated! It studies the extent and range of knowledge and data. Actually, there's one slightly surprising part of the story as recounted above by Vitruvius. A number of the principles utilized in its making are still utilised in mechanical calculators. To start with, it is necessary to understand clearly the idea of pressure in a fluid. It has a rather attractive design that's sleek to behold.
What You Don't Know About Hydrostatics
The analysis can be completed in lots of ways. It can likewise be used for the evaluation of the entire body composition and fat distribution. It's the study of snakes. It's the study of parasites. It's the study of improving human heredity utilizing controlled breeding methods. It's the scientific study of celestial objects and phenomena which take place beyond the planet's atmosphere. It's possible for you to date him without an excessive amount of research on what's there and how many.
The New Fuss About Hydrostatics
The proportion of fat accumulated in the body is known as fat percentage. Thus, alongside the weight, you should also think about the body fat percentage whilst on a weight reduction program. To the contrary, the fat proportion of a woman must not be under 10%, otherwise, it have adverse consequences on her wellness. Obviously, the variety of steps might be other than 10, but the number must be even in Simpson's rule. There are a big number of people who are in desperate need of some form of assisted living because of some sort of impairment.
The main role of the hydraulic pump is to apply force at the same point that's transmitted to some other point. Over time, analyzing and studying this data has also come to be an important portion of the statistics field. It's the study of human breasts utilizing a mammogram (a special type of X-ray). It's the study of algae. It's the study of diseases associated with the respiratory tract. It's the study of various components of the environment, and the way in which they interact and relate to one another. It's the study and practice of earning maps.

Rhythmic euphoric drizzles from a gracious soon to be sunny sky introduced and convened fifteen thousand people together this past weekend at Oak Canyon Ranch for Lightning in a Bottle 2012. Stages, temples, sculpture, color, mandalas, lights, tents and teepees were spread across the landscape, creating a parallel planet of swirling music nature spirits senses and play. Between sitting in a wooden hut electric gong jingling recycled can instrument, melting in the oasis airstream portable sauna, getting a herbal root shamanic reading, Bashar, Barbara Hubbard, sun struck waves of bliss, yogic dancing, and foraging for edible plant life on a dirt path along a tree covered mountain (sage, elderberry, indian tobacco, to label a few), I witnessed musical performances that ranged from provocatively unique to heavy and loud, encountering everything from harp inspired kirtan worship that went on for hours, to a twenty six minute sound check for a twelve minute performance with a personality disorder.
There were four main stages, labeled "Woogie," "Bamboo," "Lightning" and "Lucent Temple," each containing their own sound no matter how loud so that no blending of music existed when you were at a stage, and small gorilla stages constructed and dispersed in nooks all over the site, (Buddha Lounge with a relaxing night fantasy aura, and Frontierville, with a crazy turn of the century saloon and early settler folky feel , are two that come to mind.) Lacking any urge to compare and contrast LIB to mainstream music festivals, because I don't have a working definition of "mainstream" or "aliens" in my repertoire at this juncture, I was present for a lot and present the following acts from that a lot, a complexly woven blanket of love and music that this year's Lightning in a Bottle line up had to offer.
Friday. Lightning Bamboo LIghtning. Lynx, Gaudi and Wilderbe
LYNX: In the San Francisco world, Lynx' quickly expanding reputation proceeds her, and queerly she has a committed following for a reason. With a two-spirited, hat and dark rimmed glasses wearing, stout and punky glow, she played one drum with drum sticks while creating electronic multi-instrumental loops, pumped up dance meditations accompanied, cut and persuaded by her lovely purring voice. We danced and sang a long, smiled on, and after three songs of the highest energy things got quiet and she stood in the middle of the stage with simply the mike to beatbox. Her beatboxing was an absolute star constellation of an experience, she became a deep and multi-faceted instrument, turning noises and words into a collage of rhythm for at least 8 minutes. Following the beatbox display, the energy cooled down, against my personal will, for the second part of her performance, when she brought out a male guitarist/singer and they shifted to rocking rolly somewhat folky ballads. It felt disconnected in that sense, but Lynx as Lynx is exciting, with light and brightness expanding beyond her medium sized wildcatness into a realm where sounds and actions we think we know are mixed up in a way creating a new and nameless genre. As a side, collaboration detail, up on stage almost as part of the act, photographing Lynx during the performance, was "Jack" from The Real L Word, Whitney's old San Francisco fling.
WILDERBE: A branch off of Lucent Dossier Experience, the dub step dance team WIlderbe, who refer to themselves as "intelligent dance," put together an interactive video dance performance where the live dancers body movements create riffs in the video projections behind them. A female doll like creature in tights and suede stood out in the set, with huge white nylon yarnish hair and a white paper machet mask, dancing in precise unison with a projected shadow. The costumes were complex and beautifully crafted, not unlike some of the people costumed in the crowd, who experienced a mystical transportation of the ideas of reality in movement, as videos of cityscapes and neon forests opened up to and vibrated in reaction to the bodies moving around on stage. What I believe would make this an incredibly unique and powerful experience beyond dance would be if the music was also live, an orchestra of sorts, with instruments and electronica merging together.
Saturday: Bamboo Lightning Lucent Temple. Sugarpill, Lucent Dossier Experience and The LuvAMP Project.
SUGARPILL: Polyrhythmic samply melodies, vibratory body shaking tempos, bass bass bass and a smiling excited stage presence lifted the crowd, some of whom were dressed as birds, computers, and unicorns, during the Sugarpill performance. A bit of a mosh pit of dance, sweat, and people peeling off layers, raising arms up to the night sky was a djing dubbish fantastical rave, simply put, loud and fun.
LUCENT: The Lucent Dossier Experience is directly and intimately connected to the event at its major artery, with lead singer "Dream" as one of the founders of The Do Lab and LIB. Prior to their performance there were two huge screens with their name in bright lights spinning in and out of view slash clarity. Prior to the music, spiritual guru Mirabel Devi took the stage as part of the performance, to send out light to everyone in the crowd. We were to remain with our arms up and our eyes closed, soaking in the "light," exemplifying the pulse of this festival to merge the music performance with a spiritual experience and the message of love and connectivity among everyone. In that sense, there was a mega church vibe, (a mega church I'd attend but mega all the same) which later merged with a circus space ship ancient rave vibe. A tension ends up existing when the ascension of light from mother earth and from within everybody's own heart gets put next to and with the dark insanity costumes and expression of the dancers. The acrobatics were enticing, as bodies wrapped in white sheet pushed out of their pods and dangled by rope to the music, though if you've seen circa de sole they exemplify a mere portion what is possible with such moon shaped hanging metal toys and rope. I ended up watching every minute of it and questioning whether there was a story line I was supposed to be following, a narrative with a message, or whether each song was a self contained performance. The lead singer Dream's guttural yelling singing to the band's music (violin, drums, guitars) and calling to the crowd, "I want you," was both intoxicating and piercing, and with the dance and dub step beats to which the dancers jerked and slid along the stage.
THE LUVAMP PROJECT: This merging of many distinct type of music instruments voices and costume was a positive late night experience, in general, if you forget about the awkwardly long sound check, and how that awkward situation continued through the course of the performance. Only by one of the singers, the one dressed in a turquoise gown and head cover who had a lovely supportive voice that created melodic sounds and who also, when lead singing, had a bit of a jack johnson feel, who had angry eyes over the levels of his guitar and microphone, which was a bit perplexing especially since everyone in the diversity of the crowd and on stage with him was dancing and holding each other in people clumps they called "Cuddle puddles." I only know this because I got engulfed by one, or trapped, depending how you look at it, and as much as I, too, love love, I really wanted to watch the show from the carpeted floor and sway to the beautiful beats. The LuvAMP Project is a collective with the initiative to promote interconnectivity, the human heart and love, that is what they explained during the show and that is what was most clearly presented in the performance of Miranda Rondeau, dressed in all white fur, playing a hand held frame drum and covering the crowd with a powerful invocational of what felt like multi-language vocals.
Sunday: Woogie Lightning. Jeremy Sole, Pumpkin and Bassnectar
JEREMY SOLE and PUMPKIN: In the light of day and in the heat of the sun I experienced what felt like a high energy spiritually enhancing version of the "Spring Break 2012" paradigm. Jeremy Sole, called an afro-funk deejay by many, seemed to explore the entire globe in what felt like one long and beautiful upbeat song. At the end of his hour he said, "Thank you for taking this trip with me around the world," and the leather feathers and the old sun burned folks alike cheered wildly as if the music gave us something we didn't have before. The dimpled deejay PUMPKIN followed, wearing white heart shaped sunglasses and a stripy fedora, surrounded by an excited entourage on stage and an excited crowd. He played playful tunes, continued the party, while light hearted jumping and innocent grinding took over the mulch covered dance floor, and a mother danced with her headphone covered baby.
BASSNECTAR: Bassnectar was the headliner, written at the top of the lineup poster in all caps, and performing on the final night of the festival. Of all the performances I attended this one was the most packed, and people had carried all the jungle gyms and play structures from around the festival into the area so that they could climb up, hang on, and see above the masses. I liked Bassnectar because I was in the mood to dance, and I did, and it's like hardcore dustup, but then I got thirsty during it and walked to a juice bar to wait in a long line for six dollar watermelon rose mint juice, and when I was there one of his songs inspired a few of us in line to start singing, "My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, and they'r like, it's better than yours, damn right, it's better than yours, I could teach you but I'd have to charge." The crowd, from a small distance, moved between extremely vibratory to swaying and melo. Bassnectar himself had electric light glowing behind his small frame and his very long straight messianic hair, and thousands of people moved in and out of each other and themselves in the final night of LIB. As I walked back to my tent, a man laid on the ground with his head inside a massive didgeridoo, a krishna chant pulsed from the meditation tent, and a local policeman who walked through the chill with a cup of coffee looked like he had landed on the wrong planet. Everything was as it should be in the middle of a canyon in the middle of the night.

Constructivist sculpture, part temporary architecture, Arcade has
been conceived as a transportable, multi-functional 'host
structure' for art in the public realm. With an emphasis on
'moments' rather than 'monuments' Arcade's initial focus was on
works made and presented via electronic media including video, sound
and wireless communications. The structure has been designed to
be easily transported, adapted and installed, enabling artists to
respond physically and critically to a given site. Influenced in
part by Walter Benjamin's sprawling, cumulative and unfinished
collection of works The Arcades Project, Arcade will accumulate
a patina of meanings, references and interconnections from associated
artists and locations over time. Future projects and commissions
will respond to the roles and connections between artists, public
art and regeneration, amongst other things.
Sacrifice Zone is a year-long
initiative from Arcade beginning in December 2008. New commissions
by artists and writers will be distributed free from the
Arcade website. The first commissions are by cultural geographer
Craig Martin and Irish artists Kennedy Browne (Sarah Browne and
Gareth Kennedy, selected to represent Ireland at the 2009 Venice
For its inaugural
appearance Arcade critically drew on strategies and materials often
used by redevelopment agencies. Inhabiting the main space at Westbourne
Studios in London, Arcade played host to a dedicated and challenging
programme of work by some of the city's most thought-provoking
artists including Mark Titchner, Thomson
& Craighead and Jordan Baseman. Specially
commissioned artworks included: a series of written narratives by
Maria Fusco that could be received on mobile phones
via Bluetooth; a new score for Alex Baker's
haunting Autonomous Drumkit; an internet projection by
Thorsten Knaub that tracked the artist's
movements within the borough of Kensington and Chelsea via Global
Positioning System; and Adrift, Andrew Dodds'
portentous reworking of Radio 4's Shipping Forecast.

Seattle based company Artful Ashes (www.artfulashes.com) is helping loved ones during the grieving process by creating unique ashes glass art memorials for those who have passed away.
Through the use of glass blowing, Artful Ashes collects one tablespoon of your loved one's ashes to include them in a glass orb and or heart design . "Our artists capture the essence of your loved one's spirit in a swirl of color and ashes, sealed forever within beautiful glass art," they write. These amazing pieces comfort your grieving, allowing you to hold and treasure your memories."
The ashes appear in a coiled pattern entwined with effervescent colors. Each memorial comes with an inscribed message with their loved one's name.
If you lean towards the more traditional, perhaps you've always wondered…..
What is the difference between a coffin and a casket?
The difference is basically one of design. Coffins are tapered at the head and foot and are wide at the shoulders. Caskets are rectangular in shape and are usually constructed of better quality timbers and feature higher standards of workmanship.
Many people regard the coffin or casket as an important tribute to the deceased and they are therefore selected with care. However, to spend so much that it would mean financial difficulties for those left behind would be misguided.

I'm not a huge celeb Instagram follower because I can't stand the narcissistic selfies and chronic douchery (I do love me some Ludacris and Usher, though). But I still think it's wild that some of the most famous people in the world let us commoners into their lives via personal photos. What if we could have followed Elvis or Marilyn Monroe on Instagram instead of self-obsessed Kim Kardashian and douche-tastic Chris Brown?
ANYWAY, If you're sick of celeb selfies, looking at pictures from the same people who clog up your Facebook newsfeed, want an insider look into cool beauty and fashion, always crave a quick laugh, like pretty pictures, or just want something to break up the puppy and bunny cuteness overload, you need some new Instagram accounts to follow. Here are ten for starters…
1. @NicoleRichie: The former star of The Simple Life (I mean, remember that mess?) now has a Glamorous Life and she's fun to follow for beauty/fashion photos, occasional humor, and celeb sightings.
2. @ZicoCoconut: Currently, they're doing a 21-day yoga challenge and I love looking at the poses (also follow @laceycalvert, pictured), but normally, you'll see healthy, sporty, sunny, California imagery.
3. @glitterguide: All things girly and sparkly (duh). I want to be inside every photo they post.
4. @chelsanity: Hilarious, badass comedian/writer Chelsea Peretti posts everything from alternate captions to male model magazine spreads (as seen below) to awkward #TBTs to witty commentary of stupid news articles.
5. @manrepeller: Duh. Also, she's like, BFF with @rebeccaminkoff, so you get to spy on her, too.
6. @harryjoshhair: Want to gawk at SUPERmodels being beautified (come on, don't we all?). This famous stylist to the stars has the inside look. He is also a hairstylist named Harry. #GoFigure.
7. @satiregram: This snarky account is self (and photo)-explanatory. #Genius. Here's a definition of satire if you're not smart.
8. @benefitcosmetics: The beauty company's packaging/marketing is beyond clever and appealing, as is the Instagram account. And when they post a quote meme, it's usually not TOO cheesy.
9. @garypeppergirl: A beautiful, exotic girl in beautiful, exotic places. Prepare for wanderlust (and jealousy).
10. @thecoveteur: Celebs (but with an approachable edge), fashion, and funny images/memes. I would totally twerk for a Birkin, btw. Like, butt naked on Peachtree Street…in the rain…this afternoon.
There is so much Instagram amazing, this is only round one (I have ten more coming soon)! And of course, you can follow moi @AshHess (check out my sick mani I just posted). Special thanks for Hayden of @PrettyInMyPoc (follow them, too!) for sharing some of her Insta reccs.

The Problem with Eating Your Own Dog Food
- The Problem with Eating Your Own Dog Food
- The Seven Reasons Nothing Gets Fixed
Ever start copying a file from one folder to another and then leave your PC alone during what can be a long process, only to come back hours later to discover that a dialog box interrupted the process 5 minutes in? This kind of thing makes me wonder whether the people at Microsoft use this product themselves.
With all the minor and irritating flaws in Windows software, along with inordinately long boot times, you'd think that someone at the company would notice and complain internally. One would think that Bill Gates himself would send a memo once in a while or even scream at someone.
This has baffled me for years, since I've always been told from people inside and outside the company that "Microsoft eats its own dog food." This phrase refers to the rule that if you work at Microsoft, you'll use Microsoft products even if they're not best of breed, which is too often the case. The idea is that if you expect the public to buy and use these products, you should be amenable to using them yourself.
This practice also lets employees test the products in real-world scenarios and report flaws. That said, you have to wonder whether the mechanism for reporting flaws actually works. Apparently it doesn't, since old annoyances from the days of Windows 3.5slow boot time, poor multitasking, vulnerability to malware, file transfer anomalies, etc.still exist as if nobody could fix them or as if nobody had even reported them.
I've heard tales of Microsoft employees sneaking in various non-Microsoft products because the Microsoft product will not do the job. The idea of an employee skulking around the office with his or her own copy of Apache (or some other tool) is highly ironic. Back in the old days, when Microsoft Excel was just becoming available, Microsoft did a TV commercial showing employees of some unnamed company sneaking around their corporation with a copy of Excel in violation of the rules requiring employees to use Lotus.
Whatever the case, I'm still baffled by some of the long-term annoyances we suffer with Windows, and instead of complaining about them I decided it might be best to explore the psychology behind the fact that they never get fixed. next: The Seven Reasons Nothing Gets Fixed >

Ryder Architecture has won two categories in the prestigious AJ100 Awards.
At a glittering ceremony, the practice, which is one of the highest new entrants in the AJ100 this year, received the awards for New Member of the Year, and the Best Place to Work in the North East & Yorkshire.
Ryder Architecture managing partner, Mark Thompson, said "To win these awards is a great achievement and demonstrates continued improvement and progress despite challenging economic circumstances in recent years. It is fitting and very rewarding to get this recognition on our 60th anniversary."
The New Member of the Year Award is given to the practice which has entered the AJ100 for the first time, or after five years' absence, and is based on business success and quality of the practice's work.
Says Peter Buchan, Senior Partner: "These awards are very much a tribute to the hard work and enthusiasm that our staff bring to every project we design."
Nearly 100 per cent of Ryder's employees say they are 'very satisfied' or 'satisfied' about the work the practice produces.
Mark sums up: "To see our development and training ethos impact so positively on staff is particularly encouraging. It gives us a great platform to go forward with renewed confidence and energy, striving for further improvement."
The practice was shortlisted for the Best Place to Work North West and Scotland categories, and made the shortlist for the coveted Employer of the Year award.
As part of a set of events marking its 60th birthday, Ryder will be hosting a series of exhibitions, starting in Glasgow, at the Briggait, 10-24 May, moving to the Building Centre in London in June, Mann Island, Liverpool, in October and finishing at the BALTIC Centre in Newcastle in November.

How To Find Your Ideal Body Weight
A calorie is the unit used to measure the energy value of food and the energy used by the body to maintain normal functions. When the calories from food intake equal the calories of energy the body uses, weight remains constant. But when more calories are eaten than the body needs, the body stores those additional calories as fat, causing subsequent weight gain. One pound (1 lb) of fat represents about 3,500 excess calories.
Obesity is partially determined by a person's genetic makeup. If a child inherited the excessive body fat cells of his obese parents, more likely, he will tend to eat more than his body needs; thus, making him an obese too. Copying poor eating habits of parents also affects a child's body weight.
Lifestyles also play a key role in the triggering obesity. Eating big servings of food at restaurants and fast foods more frequently than nutritious home-cooked foods could help adding more calories and fats rather than limiting them. Devoting less time for exercise and other physical activities do not control weight gain.
Doing sedate recreational activities such as browsing the internet, video games, movies, and television, using labor saving devices such as personal computers, telephones, and remote controls, promote an inactive lifestyle. This is a potential risk factor for heart disease in later life.
Obesity is defined as being 20 percent or more above one's desirable weight range. It is a medical condition that refers mainly to storage of excess body fat. The human body naturally stores fat tissue under the skin and around organs and joints.
Fat is critical for good health because it is a source of energy when the body lacks natural energy necessary to sustain life processes, and it provides insulation and protection for internal organs. But the accumulation of too much fat in the body is associated with a variety of health problems.
Physical health can be measured through the appropriateness of a person's weight to his height; where the body weight refers to the measure of one's body mass, and the height is the measure of his tallness.
Body Mass Index is an accurate indicator of surplus body fat than kilos or pounds. It is a mathematical ratio of height to weight that can be linked with body composition (or body fat percentage) and with indices of health risk.
For instance, a woman measuring 5 ft high (1.52 m), with a medium body frame should weigh between 103 lbs to 115 lbs (46.72 kg - 52.16 kg) to be considered healthy.
Another example: a man standing 5 ft 8 in (1.72 m) tall, with a large body frame is healthy if he is weighing between 144 lbs - 163 lbs (65.32 kg - 73.94 kg).
Otherwise, if their weight is lower than the desired body weight for their height, they are considered underweight, and if, in turn, their weight is higher than the desired body weight for their height, they are said to be overweight.
In the second part of this article I will discuss how you can determine your ideal body mass.

You Can Now Get the Original Splinter Cell Free For 30 Days
You Can Now Get the Original Splinter Cell Free For 30 Days
Ubisoft is giving the original Splinter Cell away free on PC for 30 days.
To celebrate its 30th anniversary, Ubisoft is giving away some of its classic PC games for free on Uplay. Each game is offered free for 30 days, and is then replaced with a new offer. This began during E3 last month with Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, and continues this month with the original Splinter Cell.
Released in 2002 for PC and Xbox, and later for PS2 and GameCube, Splinter Cell broke new ground in the stealth genre with some of the best lighting effects seen at that time. It also spawned a series that runs to this day, with the most recent entry in the series being 2013's Splinter Cell: Blacklist.
There's no word yet on what game Ubisoft will choose to give away next month, but for now you should just make sure that you don't miss out on getting this one free. The only downside is that you have to go through Uplay.
Grab your free copy over at the Ubi 30 site.
I wish more Ubisoft games like Rainbow Six 3 Raven Shield, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, The first 2 Brothers in Arms, and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic were on GOG.com.
AWESOME! I loved that ga--
It's Ubisoft, you didn't think there would no strings attached now did you?
Given the price of older PC DVD games (bugger all) if won't be that hard to get if you really want it DRM free.
I'm pretty sure the original Splinter Cell is on GoG...yup! So free on UPlay, or $10 on GoG. Ups and downs for both.
At this point, I would feel more comfortable buying it on GoG.
It's probably just me... but that title sounds like you get the game for 30 days and then you lose it to me. But... now I can't think of a possible way to word it that it doesn't sound that way.
I think it's because the words "consumer friendly" don't come to mind when I hear Ubisoft.
lol, well, shame i have it already on steam and even the retail version, which for some reason will not run properly. but steam does.
i guess ubi gets some credit regardless for giving a game for free. uplay or not, still way better than this terrible LIVE that really doesnt work at all.
Its not. They did the same for Sands of Time last month and I still have it in my library.
Edit for clarity: It's free and clear (besides Uplay) for 30 days then a new game goes free and you don't lose the previous month's game.
I realize that. I just can't read that title without it thinking that is what it means. I probably would have gone with "Splinter Cell is free on UPlay".
Looks to me like they're doing the "on the house" thing that EA's been doing to get people to move to their platform. First few are good games. Then...
"Free on Uplay"
Nope, I can't be having with that shit. That price is entirely unreasonably high. Like, "Train Simulator with all DLC" high.
I'll pass, thanks. Though I'm curious about trying it (never played a single game in the series), resorting to Uplay is not in my itinerary. Hell, I felt dirty making an Origin account just to get titles like The Sims 2 and Red Alert 2 when they were "on the house."

Museums are amazing places: collections of artifacts and knowledge gathered throughout the years. Some of the most well-known of these places contain items from civilizations long past or art from some of the most skillful of hands. But not all museums are made equal as these establishment with strange themes and peculiar displays set themselves apart from the typical institution.
Underwater Museum of Art, Mexico
If you love the oceans and art galleries, then this art museum might just be your match made in heaven. The Underwater Museum in Mexico is a statue display under the waves that guests can enjoy either by diving under the waves or by looking at them from a glass-bottom boat. The figures not only look amazingly haunting under the sea, they're also used to help promote the growth of coral reefs.
Instant Ramen Museum, Japan
Do you love instant cup meals? If you've lived at the dorms in college, wanted a quick and easy meal, or if you've ever experienced a dip in your food funds, you may have had to cook your own cup of soup and noodles. Because it is synonymous to Japanese culture and has been an ongoing trend for so long, this museum was built in Osaka. Different displays can be found here, from wall full of different noodle flavors to factories where you can customize your very own cup noodles.
Torture Museum, Amsterdam
While torture, especially the twisted methods of the past, can be a negative subject, others may find it a very interesting topic to explore. If you're one of the people who have the itch to learn more about the torture methods of history, the Torture Museum of Amsterdam may just tickle your fancy. From thorn-ridden chairs to all manner of body-bending machines of punishment, you'll discover much about the darkness of the human mind and innovation of years past.
Sewer Museum, France
Many of us would think of sewers as a place of disgust and mystery. Who knows what goes on down in the underground? That's why the Sewer Museum located under the streets of Quai d'Orsay on the Left Bank exists. The drainage system in the cobbled streets of Paris has such a deep history to them that the government is willing to let tourists explore it for themselves and see just how these anti-flooding systems work.
Currywurst Museum, Germany
Ever heard of Currywurst? Based on the name alone, it's a quick and easy dish originating from Germany that consists of a pork sausage that is steamed, then fried before curry ketchup is added. This dish is so well-liked that a museum was built in Berlin to make sure people know about it. From spice-smelling to sausage-shaped sofas, you can definitely feel the love for Currywurst here.
No matter what the museum features, it's all about preserving the history and information of the past so the people of the future can learn of the triumphs and even the mistakes of the past. If you're a knowledge-hungry traveler who has a love for all things strange and/or quirky, you're definitely encouraged to give these places a visit!

This looks amazing
Crustless Spinach and Mushroom Quiche
Upon seeing what I was serving for dinner last night our oldest son, who is 22, commented that he was, "afraid the spinach taste was just going to be too much". This, before he took the first bite and then proceeded to inhale his portion at an impressive rate of speed then and go back for seconds.
The 3-year old toddler also cleaned her plate so I think it's safe to say this recipe is kid-approved! Served with an easy bruschetta and sliced baguette, this was a quick and satisfying meal enjoyed by the whole family.
Crustless Spinach Quiche
1 tsp. olive oil
1 TBSP butter
1 lb. fresh spinach leaves
1/4 cup yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
10 eggs, beaten
1 8-oz. pkg, cremini mushrooms, rough chopped, stems removed
3 oz. feta cheese, crumbled _____________________________________________________________________ Preheat oven to 350°
Roast the mushrooms: Toss mushrooms with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Spread mushrooms on prepared baking sheet and allow to roast 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool enough to handle and rough chop.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Add spinach and cook until beginning to wilt.
Add onion and continue cooking, stirring occasionally until spinach is wilted and onion has softened, 3-5 minutes.
Stir in garlic for another 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in eggs, distributing spinach and mushrooms evenly.
Pour into prepared quiche dish and sprinkle with feta cheese.
Bake 20 minutes or until set. Serve warm or room temperature.

This was an experiment and it turned out really well. Mackenzie gobbled it up like crazy! And the tiny bit of leftovers we had were even good straight out of the fridge today. 🙂
Yum! 🙂
I'm trying this tonight.
I would inhale this too!
It was quite good… 🙂
That's beautiful! Looks delicious!
What cheese would be a good substitute for the feta? (JC won't try anything with feta).
I think parmesan would be good since it has a similar saltiness… Or no cheese and top with a chunky salsa.
Angie makes these and we love them.

When did Corsham become a favourite of the military ?
It appears to have started in 1927, when the security at storage sites elsewhere had come into question,and a search was on to find other possible safe storage for ammunition, and the abundance of the empty underground mines in or near Corsham, were identified as just waiting for a new use.
But it was not until 1935 that Corsham's suitabilty really became evident, and was put to the test.
First, the Army required storage for ammunition, and the Corsham Ammunition Depot was slowly brought into being. (Local's called it the 'Corsham Ammunition Dump', or just 'the Dump') .
It was not long before the RAF & Admiralty also expressed an interest in the tunnels, and a whole new storage regime was born.
Having a need to support all this activity, personnel were required to monitor the projects, and so it was natural that the Services should set up bases here:-
Basil Hill Barracks was established in 1936, when a large part of the Pockeridge estate was purchased for the use of the RAOC.
The RAF brought officers from No 10 group to RAF Rudloe Manor mansion in 1940, and the Navy established a ' Leadership Training Establishment' at Royal Arthur, Westwells Rd, in about 1947.
There are many many more facts to be found about the development of the Services and their work in the area, but these are well documented elsewhere, and are far too detailed to repeat here. Suffice it to say that Corsham had a population of 3,754 recorded in 1931, and in 1951 this had almost trebled to 9,268 persons.
Corsham had become a garrison town.
It was quite natural to walk down the street and find uniformed men – and women passing by, sometimes in exercise mode, sometimes marching, or at leisure. The Remembrance Day Services were a joy to behold, bands and marching feet. Everyone came out to watch, if not to actually take part.
However, time marches on, and our map of Corsham has changed considerably. Quarries and bases have closed, buildings have been erased, and we have entered a new era, with the MOD Joint Forces Command at Basil Hill, which encompasses all 3 Services.
It is good that Corsham is still able to make a contribution to the defence of the realm.

NIAGARA FALLS – The City Council majority on Monday rejected a $1 million proposal from the Dyster administration to remake the city's downtown parking system.
The three-member majority, in a 3-2 vote, defeated a plan to set aside funding to buy equipment, including pay-and-display meters in parking lots, for on-street parking and in the city's ramp in the former Rainbow Centre mall.
"There's no reason for us to pay a million dollars at all," Chairman Glenn A. Choolokian said.
The parking plan, recommended by Desman Associates, a firm hired by the city two years ago to conduct a parking study, aims to get the city out of the parking business as much as possible, Mayor Paul A. Dyster said.
The plan calls for the establishment of a city parking director who, under the proposal, would oversee a firm hired by the city to run the system.
Under the proposal, funding also was to be set aside to pay a consulting firm to oversee the plan's implementation.
At the time the plan was developed, the cost of implementation was estimated at $840,000.
The proposal was set aside by lawmakers at the time because the city did not have the funding to implement it.
Under a November 2011 agreement between the city and USA Niagara Development Corp., the state's economic development agency for the Falls, the city must submit a plan for the management of the parking ramp in the former Rainbow Centre, including better revenue collection and control measures.
Choolokian said he believes the city does not have to fork over so much cash, and can save money as other cities do by partnering with parking companies and sharing the revenue. He also said the city should not have to pay for any equipment.
Choolokian, citing a presentation from the consultants from early 2012, said he's also wary of the creation of a city parking manager and the "outsourcing" of some of the work now performed by city employees.
Choolokian said the resolution for Monday's Council meeting was the first time he's heard anything about the proposal since early 2012.
Right now, without meters on the downtown streets, the city's enforcement mechanism is to have police officers keep track of potential violators
In terms of city employees, the city's two full-time workers whose duties include working in the ramp would be given other work, were the plan to be implemented. The city would also ask whichever company is hired to oversee the system to reach out to the city's seasonal and temporary parking workers, of which there are a handful, about potential employment, Dyster said.
Consultants predicted the city could generate more than $1 million annually in parking revenue downtown, if the plan was implemented. But that level of revenue would flow into city coffers only from the outset with the city's up-front investment in the equipment, Dyster said.
His administration's proposal called for money from the city's share of casino revenue to be set aside.
"This doesn't cost the taxpayer anything to implement," Dyster said.
The mayor said the issues of city employees and up-front payment were explained to the Council when the plan was initially presented.
Councilwoman Kristen M. Grandinetti voted in favor of the proposal with Councilman Charles A. Walker.
In other city business, Dyster will present his proposed budget for next year at 4:30 p.m. today in Council Chambers in City Hall.

Will this work as standalone Karen or should I begin with book one?ReplyDelete
Yes. I believe her sister was in the previous book - Lizzie is vising her - but I didn't feel like I missed anything.Delete
I used to read her books all the time! I'm a little wary of novellas, though. Does the story feel complete?
It does but it's such a slow build that the end comes on really fast. I believe in them as a couple and they have a sold epilogue to make up for it but after all the build up it just ended.
I still really enjoyed it though.
It's been quite a while since I've read her as well. Oh this sounds good. I don't like insta-love.. but when it is ~ish I think I can handle it. :) I've read those kind before and don't seem to mind. I do think I need to pick up a book by her soon.ReplyDelete
It's on his part but it takes awhile to win her over :-) It made sense in a weird way though. They are very similar and they just work.Delete
I'm all for easy peasy reads! Real life is way too real for me nowadays, so yes. I could use this!ReplyDelete
My attention span is close to zero these days so these fun novellas are perfect for me right now.Delete
I haven't read this author before but I love the sound of this and will have to dive into it soon! Thanks for putting this on my radar and fabulous review!ReplyDelete
She writes great romances and the women are wonderful!Delete
Why do I feel like I already commented..and read this? WeirdReplyDelete
She has a tour running now so maybe there was another similar post??Delete
Oh this sounds like a fun one!ReplyDelete
Eloisa James! Have I read anything by her... hmmm. I might be thinking of Elizabeth Boyle, so I don't think I've read anything by James. I'm glad your return to James' books was very successful! :D
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
oh yes for Eloisa James she is just brilliant right? I have been hearing great things about this one here.ReplyDelete
Sounds like I need to read this series!!ReplyDelete
Solo, as I was reading the excerpt I was surprised that as soon as I started to read it, I WAS HOOKED. Now, sometimes when I read excerpts, I'm never really pulled in but with this one it was like, WOW. YASSSSS. I can't wait to try this one out, K! <3
Awesome review, lovely! <3
Oh a bookworm. Love that. I've still not tried her books but they're on my list :)ReplyDelete
Eloisa James. I adore her but, in the avalanche of books, forget about her stories! Maybe I'll head over to the library and pick up a couple. :)ReplyDelete

Our life and travels, from fulltime Rv living, to a new home in the North Georgia Mountains, our other "home" in the Florida Keys, and traveling in our new mini RV.
Wednesday, December 22, 2010
Tv, Windowshades, & Haircuts
We had the "day off " yesterday and spent it just puttering around the house. We didn't have anywhere that we needed to be and it was a most enjoyable day. We never left the campground and it felt really good! We briefly contemplated a kayak trip or a drive to the beach, but decided we'd rather just relax around the campground.
The weather was nice and sunny and the temps in the upper 60's. There was some kind of big thing going on and many golfers were out on the course today.
We spent our day just cleaning and organizing around here. Al did some window cleaning. It's amazing how fast they get dirty. We had a day/night shade that needed fixing and Al (my hero) managed to get that fixed. Yea...now I can have sunlight coming in that window!
We had about given up getting satellite reception here, but Al decided to give it another try. He finally picked up a signal, but the readings were only in the 70's which is not nearly enough to get a picture. He finally moved the dish to a new location and got a signal locked on! We get all the channels, including the DNS channels for ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox! Yea....no more commercials!!! My hero!
I gave us both a haircut with our Flowbee haircutter. We're now presentable again! Al was getting a bit shaggy, so we felt good about that.
I have to take Mom in to get the heart monitor put on today and Al has a few remaining pest control accounts to finish up. I might bring Mom over here to see where we are staying. She hasn't gotten out here yet.
We're still trying to decide where to go next. Our plan was to head to Welaka, Florida the 29th. We have reservations there for 2 months. I'm thinking we should stay closer to Mom though, so that's not looking promising. We just haven't found anything close by that is reasonably priced. I need to get on the ball and start looking. We can stay here for $695 a month (electric included). Now that we have satellite, that sounds a little better. We'd like to find something cheaper, but other than the Escapees campground in Bushnell, Florida, I haven't found anything.
We tried to find someone that could deliver propane to us here in the campground and were told of a law against propane delivery to an Rv. It seems that it's too dangerous to fill up the propane tank on an Rv. They can do it to the houses and businesses, just not rv's. Makes you feel real safe, huh?
8 comments:
Our RV park has propane delivery every week...and we're in Florida. Very interesting.ReplyDelete
So glad Al the Man got the satellite issue solved. When you enjoy TV as much as you do, I know this really is a wonderful thing. We are the same way...we may be in an RV, but it's our home and WE WANT OUR TV.
Hope you can find another campground. How far would you feel comfortable being away from your mom's house? Maybe 1/2 hour?
Don't know how far you want to be from Mom but Crystal River isn't too far up the road from you. If you check out the Rock Crusher Canyon rates keep in mind the monthly rates INCLUDE elec, water, sewer, and basic cable (70 channel). It seems to be about at the limit of what you're looking to pay. Great area here and open sites.ReplyDelete
Over the years we have stayed at numerous RV parks in Fla and never had a problem with getting propane delivered and filled at the site.ReplyDelete
Al got both the satellite and day/night shades fixed in one day - that's almost superhuman!!ReplyDelete
Strange law about the propane, I'd never heard of that before. I wonder why it's more dangerous to do it in the park than at a gas station?? Must be a local ordinance of some kind, perhaps.
We had propane delivered when we were in the park in Florida. Strange law they have there. Hope you warm up into the 70's soon. I like the 70's and 80's better than the 60's. However, 60's are better than 20's.ReplyDelete
Glad the weather is nice for you. How long does it take to get from Welaka to your mom's place?ReplyDelete
I have missed any information about what kind of place she is living in. Her own home? Assisted living? And who takes her for doctors visits etc. when you are not there.
Do you have any brothers or sisters in the area?
I'm sure you will make the right decisions about where to stay. Just do the best you can.
Not sure of your distance requirements, but this is one park I had saved... http://www.bettertimesrv.com/pricelistl.htmReplyDelete
I think the propane delivery thing must be a county or city thing. We checked another rv park and they had the same rule. It figures!
Jeff and Barbie
Thanks for the reminder on rock Crusher canyon. The rates are pretty good. We may take a trip out there today.
Mom is still in her own home. My brother also lives in Tampa. Welaka is about 137 miles.
Thanks for the link. I'll check it out!
Please feel free to leave comments. We love to read them! To contact me directly you can send e-mail to email@example.com

It strains my heart when I see the escalation of the war in the Middle East. Again.
For so long already. When will this madness come to an end? The Hezbollah is throwing bombs on Israel. The Israeli government is bombing Lebanon while talking about the "disarmament†of the Hezbollah as if this were a short, fair action by which the violence would finally be ended…
In reality, they are bombing a whole country thereby sowing thousands of new reasons for violence every day. And the world remains silent.
Hundreds of people have already died in the bombs of this war – children and parents, soldiers and people who innocently got between the lines of fire.
It does not really matter what country they are coming from, does it?
Does it really still matter who started it?
Can we not see that each new bomb, each new act of violence results in new violence?
All the warring parties follow the same matrix of fear and revenge, of the idea of being victims and feelings of powerlessness, of incapacity to understand the other side and the belief that violence is the only option. The war will only end though, when one of the parties involved has the courage to leave this matrix. Governments will not do this by themselves. It depends on us.
We ask all our friends in the Middle East: Even if your whole surrounding is infected – do not let yourselves be infected by this madness. Even when we are all challenged to understand the matrix of war but also remember the real possibility of peace.
The most important news now is that there are people on either side who do not react with anger, fear, or hatred, people who continue to do everything for peace with courage, tranquillity and solidarity.
In this way, for example, members of the peace group Middleway plan to go on a silent march in white clothes to the Lebanese border.
In this way, the Holy Land Trust in Bethlehem, who have trained 600 teachers for non-violent resistance in Palestine and motivated whole villages to recall their non-violent tradition, is currently facilitating a non-violent Summer Camp.
In this way, the Combatants for Peace – former warriors of both sides who put down their weapons organize peace activities together.
In this way, in Neve Shalom / Wahat al Salaam, Israeli and Palestinian families have been living together in one neighbourhood, the "Oasis of Peace" for many years with the conscious decision to overcome the conflict.
Currently their guesthouse is full with families who fled from the north of Israel. A large proportion of Neve Shalom's / Wahat al Salam's inhabitants participated in the demonstration in Tel Aviv against the war.
And in this way, there are people from the Middle East now studying the ecological, social, spiritual and technological knowledge at the Peace Research Centre in Tamera / Portugal, for the building up of peace villages in order to bring it back to their home area. The Tamera plan of Healing Biotopes offers a perspective for people of different cultures to end the matrix of war together, firstly on a smaller scale, and to replace it by the matrix of life and peace.
Let us also not forget that a political solution for peace already exists, the Geneva Initiative – a peace plan for Israel and Palestine that was negotiated by both sides in a long and fair way.
To all those who love life, and to all friends of peace, let us swim against the tide: In a time where bombs are falling let's feed the dream of changing this region, the Holy Land, the Middle East from a region of conflict into a land where peace can be learned: peace between cultures and nations, peace among human beings, peace with nature.
We call out to all our friends in the world, may they be Israelis, Palestinians, US-Americans, Europeans: Let us understand the matrix of war and end it. We turn to our own society first and recognize how it is a part of this war: Whether by direct violence, whether by suppression of the truth and one-sidedness, whether by weapon supply or by indifference. Let us recognize the military regime and the matrix of war and inform others about it.
Most of all, let us choose to recognize the matrix of life on the other side. It is always there.
There is another possibility instead of violence in every situation.

Campaign of the Month: May 2016
Hassan al-Fasri
Gatekeeper cousin of Mehmet al-Fasri
Cousin of Mehmet with duties surrounding the Gateway of the Caravanserai. He is often the first person that visitors will meet and he may ask many questions if he is in any way suspicious of anyone entering the establishment. He seems to have quite high rank among the cousins of Mehmet and while on GATE DUTY is always accompanied by an armed bodyguard.
Hassan seems to know all the regular customers well and will greet them by name when he enters. When he is not on GATE DUTY he is difficult to find and not many people seem to know where he spends this time.

First of all, the apology.
It has been five weeks since I last posted to this blog. Whilst I have had my monthly Third Sector blog published during this time and I have written a post for The Cowling Report which will appear on 5th December I haven't gotten round to posting anything new here.
The main reason for this has been a really busy November travelling around the UK training and speaking at conferences. This busy period has been very welcome given Rob Jackson Consulting Ltd is a new business in a tough economic climate but it has kept me from having time to write anything here. So my apologies.
What then has prompted me to write something now. Well, I am currently attending the closing conference of the European Year of Volunteering 2011 in Warsaw, Poland, and in one of the sessions this morning a speaker talked about her organisation using volunteers. I immediately turned to a colleague and we both grimaced.
I feel very strongly that we should never talk about using volunteers but involving them.
Yes, volunteers are a resource that contributes to the fulfilment of organisations' missions just like paper clips, photocopiers, staples, staplers. But volunteers are people, they take an active role in fulfilling our missions. They are engaged and involved, not used.
In my experience, all talk of using people is in a negative context.
We use paper clips, not people.
Now some of you may be thinking this is mere semantics and that there are bigger issues to be concerned about. In fact, this is what another colleague said to me this morning.
I think the language we use (!) around volunteers and volunteering speaks volumes about the way they are viewed, regarded and respected in our organisations.
If we talk of using volunteers, putting them on a par with the office photocopier, then we should not be surprised if volunteers are seen as providing a far from meaningful contribution to our work. If, however, we talk about involving them then there is implied within that a much more constructive, positive and meaningful attitude to the contribution volunteers provide.
So I hope you will join me in challenging anyone who talks of using volunteers and help them to understand why such language is unhelpful. Please share stories of doing so in the comments below and give others confidence to do so as well.
And of course if you disagree, please leave a comment telling me why.

24 Weeks on the Best-Seller List!
"The Sweetest Christmas Eve" made it on to the Sandhills Best-Seller List through the entire 2016 holiday season. For a total of 24 consecutive weeks "The Sweetest Christmas Eve" was honored in this manner.
But now the holiday season is over, and "The Sweetest Christmas Eve" will be settling in for a long summer nap — to be bouncing back on to the bookseller shelves in Sept 2017.
"The Sweetest Christmas Eve" was released August 1, 2016. It is the whimsical tale of the Mouse family and their lovely new home. The 42-page picture book is aimed at younger readers who are not quite ready for chapter books. While the story is gentle and the illustrations rich the vocabulary and syntax is complex; this is not a book for pre-readers. It is, however, an excellent choice for parents who read with their children because it packs a charming story with healthy, family-oriented tone.
The story is illustrated by the very talented Amy Preveza.
The editor is Serena Kenyon-Brown.
For REVIEWS, click here.
Available at bookstores globally, using the Ingram distribution network. Have your bookseller search for ISBN 978-0-9971477-0-4. Retail price in the United States is $19.95. Prices in other countries will vary slightly.
If your bookstore cannot find the book, contact Turnberry Press and we will assist you.
Papa Mouse
Papa Mouse was captured by Amy in a pensive moment, worried about his family and their future
Willie is a rascal; the big brother every little girl wishes she had. He races through their house and the story on Amy's graceful pencil
Certainly, plot is essential to a lively yarn, but the backstory of love and trust is a great lesson for all of us to remember during the holiday season

Here comes the wind – now that we are leaving
Day 7
The following morning dawned sunny and…calm!! So back to motoring for Magrathea to Maslinica at the west end of Solta island. This popular spot attracts many curiosities but the highlight was the group of four young lads (plus dog) attempting to circumnavigate some of the small islets in their pedalo whilst sheltering under a couple of pink umbrellas. It all looked curiously reminiscent of the two decoy pirates in the first Pirates of the Caribbean. We tore our eyes from them (and the nude chap hiding in the woods) and turned to lunch. Frittata of artichoke potato and rosemary. Tomato salad with bread crumbed aubergine fritters green salad leaves, pine nuts, lambs lettuce Parmesan and avocado and pancetta. Sage focaccia with red onion and Gorgonzola.
Somebody senior had spotted that this was our last afternoon and hence the last chance for a sail. So it was that we sailed north to our final destination of Trogir in a stiff breeze of 18knots hard on the port bow. We had to thread the needle between rocks near the entrance to the bay but carrying 10 knots of momentum we managed even when the wind eased or moved. The only real danger was the stream of Sunsail flotilla yachts setting off (and straight at us) for the start of their holiday. We are never quite sure if these guys know anything about the ColRegs – but all was fine.
Neatly anchored just outside the town there was time to cheer the dozens of party flotillas storming in at the end of their holiday before turning to our final dinner.
Seared scallops with cauliflower purée and cumin velouté. Turbot with homemade tartare sauce and capers, potato croquets. (Better even than Yorkshire fish and chip.) Chocolate and black chocolate stacks with blackcurrants, kumquat and gold leaf.
