In a corner of revolt-hit Kashmir, one village works quietly to craft willow cricket bats that bridge a bitter divide between the Muslim-majority state and the rest of India.
Imran Dar, 27, makes about 25,000 cricket bats a year that are painstakingly crafted from willow and dried for seven months at his family-run shop just south of Indian Kashmir's summer capital Srinagar.
The bats are exported to the rest of India from Kashmir, where many Muslims cheer for India's rival Pakistan, especially since the two teams resumed playing in each other's countries following an almost decade-long gap after a new peace process was launched in 2004.
Cricket has since taken on a proxy role in the Kashmir Valley where Muslims burst firecrackers whenever Pakistan defeats India while the opposite occurs in the Hindu-dominated south of the state, which both countries claim and hold in part.
But though he is Muslim, Dar said in an interview he prays for India to win.
"Purely for commercial reasons we always pray for India's win. The orders for Kashmiri bats come in bulk from different parts of India after each win," Dar said in an interview in his busy shop as workers added the finishing touches to bats.
Dar's bats are sold in the Indian capital New Delhi, commercial capital Mumbai and the southern city of Chennai.
Almost every family in the Muslim village of Halmulla and 15 other adjoining hamlets are involved in making cricket bats and showrooms on the road through town showcase an amazingly wide variety of models.
Bilal Ahmed, a teenager working in his father's factory, A.G. Sons, says an Indian win "provides a huge push to our business."
"When India wins everyone wants to play cricket and we are the clear winners," Ahmed said, as he posed beside a giant 1.8m-long cricket bat.
Cricket diplomacy was started anew when India played in Karachi in April 2004 for the first match between the teams on either's soil since 1996.
The first match, a thriller that came down to the last ball, helped heal sharp wounds between the nuclear rivals that have fought two wars over Kashmir and retain a heavily-militarized ceasefire line down the centre of the state.
In Kashmir however, where the insurgency against Indian rule has claimed more than 44,000 lives since 1989 as almost a million troops and members of a dozen militant groups wage daily battle, Muslim sentiment is behind Pakistan's cricketers.
"Kashmiri Muslims support Pakistanis because of religious proximity," says Indian cricketer Manzoor Ahmed, a Kashmir native.
Still, it's not the faces of Pakistan's cricketers that adorn the shops of Halmulla, but Indian stars Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid.
Swashbuckling wicketkeeper and batsman Mahendra Dhoni is another favorite.
"As Dhoni is a rage these days, bats with his name sell like hot cakes," Ahmed said as an Indian tourist bargained for a pair of Dhoni bats.
The cricket bat industry in Kashmir employs around 10,000 people and collectively exports nearly a million bats at prices ranging from 100 to 700 rupees (US$2 to US$15).
Imran Dar's father Ghulam Mohammed, 55, said Kashmiri bats are renowned within India for their high quality willow, but they have still not found favour abroad among international players.
"They prefer English willow (which) is light, hard and known to impart more power," said Dar, who has been in the business for 30 years.

Who Am I?
My name is Jon Stone. I am a father to a wonderful eight-year-old daughter and 6-month-old son. I also make my living from home.
This was not always the case.
Like most people, I've done my fair share of retail work, spent a few years in a cubicle and spent far too much time making someone else money while they sat back and reaped the benefits. When I found out I was going to be a father, I knew this had to change. That is when I discovered freelancing. Using nothing more than the skills I already had, I have created a reliable, substantial source of income while being able to spend every moment with my family.

SM7 Wedges are now available for custom fitting.
The Vokey Premier fitting network is a hand selected group of facilities with a comprehensive set of fitting tools, premier short game facility, and fitting expertise to provide you with an exceptional wedge fitting experience.
Visit the Titleist Performance Institute or Manchester Lane Test Facility for the full Tour Player Experience.
For the most avid Vokey Wedge fans, limited dates are available for one-on-one Wedge Fitting with Bob Vokey. Learn More
4033 Avenida De La Plata
Oceanside, CA 92056
Manchester Lane
Acushnet, MA 02743
Join us at Titleist Thursdays for a high quality club fitting or guided trial experience with one of our expert Product Specialists. You'll come away with the right equipment specifications for your game and the confidence to shoot your lowest scores. Did we mention it's free?
Properly fit wedges provide players with precise distance gaps in their wedges. A well fit wedge set will enable a player to hit more full shots.
Bounce and Grind selection is a critical step in wedge fitting. Choosing the correct grind based on a golfers swing type and course conditions will improve turf interaction and shot making consistency.
Properly fit wedges will maintain or improve a players 'go to' shots, while improving the weakest shots in their short game. Leading to lower scores.
We start every fitting with a player and equipment evaluation. For wedge fitting, start with the 9-iron and pitching wedge loft, lie & shaft specs.
Tour pros call it hitting their number. The first shots during a wedge fitting will be for distance gapping and wedge set loft selection.
Bounce and Grind fitting begins with full swings during the distance gap fitting, and continues with shots around the green. We evaluate turf interaction, divots and ball flight to determine the right bounce, grind, and lie angles.
The final step is to hit all of the necessary short game shots, including pitches, chips and bunker shots with multiple grinds. These shots will validate your preferred wedges from the full swing section of the fitting.
Bob says, "Bounce is your friend." This holds true for amateurs and tour players alike.
The tour player plays in a multitude of course conditions. Each club in their bag must serve a specific purpose. This is especially true for wedge selection. Tour players select their bounce and grind to provide the most short game versatility for their game.
The Spin Milled Grooves, found on the SM7 wedges is our most durable groove to date, however spin decay does occur. Our research shows the average wedge will start to show spin decay after 75 rounds of golf. For the Average weekend golfer, this is about 12 to 14 months of normal use. This can result in shots taking longer to stop on the green resulting in longer putts and higher scores.
It is critical to be properly fit for your wedges because no two swings are the same. Some players will benefit from adding an additional wedge to help close a yardage gap. Other players may see benefit from playing a different bounce or a more versatile sole grind. Having a properly fit set of wedges is one of the fastest way to lower your scores.
Selecting the right wedges is a multiple step process, including loft and distance gap fitting, bounce & grind fitting, and testing these wedges for shot versatility around the green.
Vokey wedges, including those played on tour, are cast using 8620 carbon steel. Using softer 8620 carbon steel allows us to produce wedges with tour preferred feel while our proprietary casting process allows us to produce this superior feeling wedge consistently in a multitude of lofts, finishes, bounces, and grinds.
Vokey wedges have two standard swingweights. Vokey pitching wedges and gap wedges have a standard swingweight of D3 and Vokey sand wedges and lob wedges have a standard swingweight of D5. This heavier swingweight allows the player to feel the club head during the swing, especially on partial shots, producing smooth tempo.
Wedges are swung at a variety of swing speeds throughout a round from chip shots to full shots. Because of this, Voke recommends playing a similar flex shaft to your irons in your pitching wedge and gap wedge, and a sub-flex in your sand wedges and lob wedges. An example of a sub flex would be the Dynamic Golf S200 shaft. This shaft is often a great wedge shaft for the player that plays a Dynamic Gold S300 shaft in their irons.

I just installed win98se on my pc after fdisk and reformatt. Now it doesnt find my modem " k56 flex v.90". Nor does it recognise my monitor . It will only display in 16 colors. I have no sound so im assuming I need that driver as well. I do not have a recovery disk, only win 98se cd.
I'm new to this forum, so I hope I'm not out of line in answering rather than a 'moderator' or site expert...so. First I'm assuming that you have internet access, you can go to Windows update and choose the Custom tab. Under software and hardware tabs (left column) it may come up with driver or software updates for your system - even though it is very old. You may also go to the Compaq site and look for drivers there. If you know the brand and model #'s of individual components (like ethernet card), you can go directly to the mfg's site. I would advise that before Googling and randomly searching.
For the monitor, try unhooking it and then reattach. If that doesn't work then something in the system settings may be the problem and I'll let someone else guide you through that.
I found this. They should work.
I've probably told this before....
Whenever you load Windows from a regular Windows CD (or DVD) from scratch, after Setup is finished you must load the drivers for the mboard, particularly the main chipset drivers, in order for Windows to have the proper drivers for and information about your mboard hardware, including it's AGP or PCI-E, ACPI, USB 2.0 if it has it, and hard drive controller support. If you have a generic system and have the CD that came with the mboard, all the necessary drivers are on it. If you load drivers from the web, brand name system builders and mboard makers often DO NOT have the main chipset drivers listed in the downloads for your model - in that case you must go to the maker of the main chipset's web site, get the drivers, and load them.
Load the main chipset drivers first.
I assume you need the drivers for a Compaq Presario 5451 Desktop PC
(When I search the HP site with Compaq 5451, I also find there is a HP Pavilion ..5451 notebook computer.)
Compaq Presario 5451 Desktop PC - Support and Drivers
Change the country / language if you need to/
Windows 98 drivers, English, US or Canada:
Follow the installation directions!
There are no obvious main chipset drivers there.
There are no 5451 system specs that I can find on HP site.
Info here
says for the Presario 5400 series.....
"These machines use the Gigabyte GA-5SMM motherboard"
Gigabyte GA-5SMM support:
Chipset SiS 530 & 5595 AGPset
There is a mboard manual there you can download, but the bios Setup settings information in it is probably different than in your Compaq bios version, and the key you press to get into your Compaq bios Setup is probably different.
Apparently, you need to load the ATA (IDE) drivers for the main SiS 5595 AGPset chip (chipset ?). (if you don't, your IDE drives will run a lot slower.)
If you're going to be using the onboard video, you need to load the VGA drivers for the SiS 530 chip
You can use the drivers from either site, but.....
NOTE: You DO NOT use mboard manufacturer's bios updates (in this case Gigabyte bios updates) on mboards that have a Compaq bios version !! Use only Compaq bios updates (Rompaqs, or Rom updates) on mboards with a Compaq bios version !!
Thank you for your help everyone.. I just found out that the pc is actually a compaq 7360. Sorry for the confusion. But I assume those url's are for similar compaqs. I hope they work
Is it an Armada notebook or a Pavilion desktop or a Presario desktop? All have 7360 model numbers.
You're not really green until you're soylent green.
I have looked up a lot of old Presario desktop mboards in the past
According to my info, 7360 has either of two mboards.
- the same one as in Response 3 - see the Gigabyte GA-5SMM support link above to see a picture of it
or -
- it has a Mitac mboard, one of the Compaq OEM only versions of Mitac 5114vu retail model, the same mboard series as used for the Presario 7400 series
(your part number on the mboard may be different)
They have PWA-PWA....CAMARO
or PWA-TWA...CAMARO printed in the mboard
Which mboard do you have ?
The pc is a desktop. The mb has PWA-PWA-CAMARO and below that it says PCB-TWA-CAMARO. What all do I need to do to install the driver's I need?
Probably the first download under Audio and Display. The modem driver there is for a PcTel chipset and I don't think the KFlex has that so I doubt you have the original modem. You can pull out the card and post back what is written on it.
Generally you can download those files on the computer you're using now and then burn them to a cd. Then run them on the 7360. Most of the time they will extract and start installing on their own.
You're not really green until you're soylent green.

"How do I identify the modem manufacturer?
There are two sites on the web to assist you. Locate the FCC ID number on the modem and go to http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/ and click on "FCC id codes". This should provide a manufacturer name to the corresponding ID number. Additionally, you can locate and identify the registration number on the modem. Go to http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/help.htm and click on "FCC id # search" This should provide a manufacturer name to the FCC ID number. "
I have lots of info on my computer about the Camaro mboard series.
- there no pins on the mboard that actually work for a case speaker for mboard beeps. In order to hear mboard beeps, you need to connect amplified speakers to the green audio out (speaker) jack on the onboard sound, and have the speakers powered and not set to minimum volume.
- the USB2 header on the mboard has an oddball pin uses arrangement - if you don't have that connected to the case by means of a Compaq case specific connector, I have the info about that.
- the original Compaq manual is 7400.pdf - it has most of the info about the Camaro mboards, etc. If you can't find that on the web, if you PM me here, I can send it to you.
- the Mitac manual for the retail mboard model 5114vu is here:
It has front panel header pinout info - I have more info about that.
- Neither manual has any info about the USB2 header. The 5114vu may be missing the pins for the USB2 header.
- the different mboard versions can have either two or three ram slots. 256mb modules per ram slot max, but 256mb modules must have 16 chips. PC100 ram max originally specified - SOME PC133 modules will work.
The FSB speed can be slightly overclocked, by means of undocumented jumper settings, however, the FSB speed is locked to the PCI bus speed, so you can't overclock the fsb speed much before the mboard or the cards in slots or the onboard video won't work.
NOTE that the 5144vu L2 cache size is only 512kb. (I don't know if the Compaq OEM only versions of it also have a 512kb L2 cache). The 512kb L2 cache size can support caching up to and inc.128mb of the ram installed in the mboard. If you install more ram than that, NONE of it is cached by the L2 cache, resulting in about a 25% ram peformance "hit", in comparison to when a larger L2 cache can support caching all the ram.
E.g. the Epox EP-MVP3-G5 mboard on the computer I am typing this on has the last, best version of the Via MVP3 main chipset (the same as in the MVP4 main chipset minus the onboard video) , and has a 2mb L2 cache - it supports caching up to 512mb of ram.
However, 98SE works fine with 128mb of ram installed, or with as little as 96mb when you don't have onboard video.
K6-II+ and K6-III+ 550mhz (mobile cpus) can easily be overclocked to run at 600mhz - if you use the X2 multiplier, all K6-2 and K6-III cpus interpret that as X 6 on the cpu itself.
The K6-II+ and K6-III+ have on cpu L2 cache, the same as the K6-III cpus do - in that case the onboard L2 cache is used as L3 cache, which makes the mboard performance more efficient than when it has a K6-2 cpu installed running at the same mhz speed.
I tried the modem search with your url's. No luck the fcc part 68 reg. no. is dk4 tai-34551-m5-e... model d-1156iv/p2 says GVC in left hand corner. Also would I be better off getting compaq recovery disk's? I thought maybe if I could get the modem working I could get online with that pc and get updates. Just getting online would be very helpful
Good luck getting Recovery disks for a computer made in 2000 or so from the HP site ! 5 years is about the maximum limit !
If It doesn't have the FCC ID number on it I specified, or if it's in a PCI slot and not on the proprietary header on the mboard, it didn't come with the computer anyway.
The FCC ID: number usually yields more info than the FCC reg number.
It was made by GVC, which is no longer in business.
That reminded me I had several restore disks from compaq. I just checked and found the 2-disk 'quickrestore' set that works with several Presario 73xx and 74xx models, including the 7360.
Send me a private message with your mailing address and I'll burn you copies and mail them.
You're not really green until you're soylent green.
"No luck the fcc part 68 reg. no. is dk4 tai-34551-m5-e... model d-1156iv/p2 says GVC in left hand corner."
I think you made some typos or you didn't copy something properly.
You may need to use a magnifying glass or similar if the text is tiny.
Go here:
type dk4 in the top box
type df1156 in the bottom box
find the one that has the same FCC ID number, or the closest to it.
Tell which one it is - no typos please.
NOTE that all of those GVC models in the list are older than your system - they could not have come with the system
Another thing you can try.
Go here:
Click on Agree on the bottom of the page.
Scroll down on the resulting page.
Download List modem, List Modem Type Identification, List Modem Manufacturer Reference Table, Check Chipset for Correct Modem Identification.
Adobe Acrobat Reader, or something else that can read *.pdf documents, is required to read the three documents.
If you don't have Adobe Acrobat Reader on a CD you already have that you can install (it's often included on drivers CDs and mboard CDs).....
Get at least version 5.0.5 here:
Run List Modem on the subject computer.
Use the info generated by that, look in the documents.

Healing energy
Reiki is a Japanese form of healing incorporating elements of just about every other alternative healing practice, such as spiritual healing, auras, crystals, chakra balancing, meditation, aromatherapy, naturopathy, and homeopathy. Reiki involves the transfer of energy from practitioner to patient to restore balance and enhance the body's natural ability to heal. Reiki utilizes specific techniques for restoring and balancing the body's energy (see shiatsu). It is a holistic, natural, energy healing technique that touches on the body, mind, and spirit. Reiki is from the Japanese "rei", meaning "free passage" and ki, the body energy

I am really hoping that someone can help me cause I am way confused and maybe I have missed something. I thought my maths was ok until I started to try and calculate my daily nutrient requirements. I know it's not compulsory for primal to work but I am a detail queen
So my lean body mass has been estimated at 59.6kg (131.3 pounds), so when I calculate my minimum protein requirements for a barely active person:-
131.3 x 0.5 = 65g
59.6 x 0.25 = 15g
I got these ratios straight out of "the book". They should be the same. What am is missing please? Or are the ratios wrong?
Thanks in advance

The Extended Phenotype
The Extended Phenotype is a 1982 book by Richard Dawkins, in which the author introduced a biological concept of the same name. The main idea is that phenotype should not be limited to biological processes such as protein biosynthesis or tissue growth, but extended to include all effects that a gene has on its environment, inside or outside the body of the individual organism.

Dawkins considers The Extended Phenotype to be a sequel to The Selfish Gene (1976) aimed at professional biologists,[1] and as his principal contribution to evolutionary theory.[2]
Genes synthesize only proteinsEdit
Dawkins argues that the only thing that genes control directly is the synthesis of proteins. He points to the arbitrariness of restricting the idea of the phenotype to apply only to the phenotypic expression of an organism's genes in its own body. Dawkins develops this idea by pointing to the effect that a gene may have on an organism's environment through that organism's behaviour.
Genes do not affect the organism's body onlyEdit
Dawkins suggests that there are three forms of extended phenotype. The first is the capacity of animals to modify their environment using architectural constructions. Dawkins cited as examples caddis houses and beaver dams. The second is manipulating other organisms. Dawkins points out that animal morphology and ultimately animal behaviour, may be advantageous not to the animal itself, but, for instance, to a parasite which afflicts it – "parasite manipulation". This refers the capacity, found in several groups of parasites, to modify the host behaviour to increase their own fitness. One famous example of this second type of extended phenotype is the suicidal drowning of crickets infected by hairworm, a behaviour that is essential to the parasite's reproductive cycle. Another example of such behaviour is seen in female mosquitoes carrying malaria parasites. The mosquitoes are significantly more attracted to human breath and odours than uninfected mosquitoes.[3] A 2013 study shows that an immune challenge with heat-killed Escherichia coli can generate the same changes in the behaviour as is seen in infection by Plasmodium yoelii. It raises an unanswered question: to what extent is the alteration of host behaviour due to active manipulation selected for in malaria parasites?[4]
The third form of extended phenotype is action at a distance of the parasite on its host. A common example is the manipulation of host behaviour by cuckoo chicks, which elicit intensive feeding by the parasitized host birds. These behavioural modifications are not physically associated with the host but influence the expression of its behavioural phenotype.[5]
Dawkins summarizes these ideas in what he terms the Central Theorem of the Extended Phenotype:
|An animal's behaviour tends to maximize the survival of the genes "for" that behaviour, whether or not those genes happen to be in the body of the particular animal performing it.[2]
Gene-centred view of lifeEdit
In conducting this argument, Dawkins aims to strengthen the case for a gene-centric view of life, to the point where it is recognized that the organism itself needs to be explained. This is the challenge which he takes up in the final chapter entitled "Rediscovering the Organism." The concept of extended phenotype has been generalized in an organism-centered view of evolution with the concept of niche construction,[6] in the case where natural selection pressures can be modified by the organisms during the evolutionary process.[7]
Subsequent proponents expand this theory and posit that many organisms within an ecosystem can alter the selective pressures on all of them by modifying their environment in various ways.[8] Dawkins himself asserted, "Extended phenotypes are worthy of the name only if they are candidate adaptations for the benefit of alleles responsible for variations in them".[9] For example, in humans, an architect's specific alleles are neither more nor less likely to be selected based on the design of his or her latest building.

Eternal Light: A Requiem From British Composer and Broadcaster Howard Goodall, Winner of 2009 Classical Brit Award
"This was to be a Requiem for the living, a Requiem focusing on interrupted lives."– Howard Goodall
Eternal Light: A Requiem is a new and moving choral work by the award-winning British composer and internationally acclaimed broadcaster, Howard Goodall. Goodall's unusual setting of the liturgical service is performed by Christ Church Cathedral Choir, Oxford and London Musici, conducted by Stephen Darlington, with soloists Natasha Marsh, Alfie Boe, and Christopher Maltman. The recording has already been issued digitally and is released on CD this month.
Howard Goodall is perhaps best known as the composer of various popular TV themes such as Blackadder, Red Dwarf, and The Vicar of Dibley, but he is also a prodigious writer of choral music. His soundtrack for the film Into the Storm has received an Emmy nomination (the Primetime Emmy Awards being held on Sep 20). This summer, Goodall won a 2009 Classical Brit Award (Composer of the Year) for Eternal Light, which will be performed in the US in January 2010.
The writing of a Requiem presents a special challenge to any composer. The great Requiems of the past, by composers such as Mozart, Verdi, Fauré, and Duruflé, interpret the sacred "Requiem" text literally, and represent a prayer for the salvation of the departed soul(s). Howard Goodall's Requiem, by contrast, is intended to provide solace to the grieving. The composer said, "For me, a modern Requiem is one that acknowledges the terrible, unbearable loss and emptiness that accompanies the death of loved ones, a loss that is not easily ameliorated with platitudes about the joy awaiting us in the afterlife. … Musical expression can, I hope, provide some outlet, some reflection, some transportation, even some comfort… . This was to be a Requiem for the living, a Requiem focusing on interrupted lives."
Eternal Light: A Requiem is also distinguished by the inclusion of English poetry, mixed with fragments of Latin, sung simultaneously or antiphonally between the soloists and the choir. Goodall explains, "One section of Latin text comes not from the Requiem mass but from the Book of Revelation, with its description of the coming of the Angels of the Apocalypse. The Recordare movement combines with Phineas Fletcher's early-17th-century sacred verse, "Drop, drop, slow tears." Other texts are drawn from John McCrae, Francis Quarles, Mary Elizabeth Frye, and Ann Thorp."
Commissioned by Mark Stephenson on behalf of London Musici to celebrate the orchestra's 20th anniversary, Eternal Light: A Requiem is a stand-alone choral work that will have its London premiere in November 2008 in an exciting collaborative version for choir, soloists, orchestra, and dance. The dance, Eternal Light, commissioned by London's famed Sadler's Wells Theatre, will be performed by Rambert Dance Company, its associate orchestra London Musici, and Christ Church Cathedral Choir, Oxford. Rambert Dance Company and its artistic director, Mark Baldwin, worked closely with Howard Goodall from the conception of the project to find ways in which the themes of the Requiem might be explored further in dance.
The result of this collaboration is a work that should appeal to a broad-based audience. Following the premiere, Rambert Dance Company will tour Eternal Light nationally across the UK . Over 70 dates have already been confirmed, including the London premiere, which will take place at Sadler's Wells on Armistice Day (Nov 11), the 90th anniversary of the end of World War I.
And, as the composer said recently, "Although it was not deliberately conceived thus, it is powerfully appropriate that the central Dies Irae movement takes as its vision of hell the horror of armed conflict. Alongside the Latin text phrases I have juxtaposed John McCrae's haunting war poem In Flanders Fields. McCrae, a Canadian military doctor of great distinction, died on the Western Front in January 1918."
Three other choral works by Howard Goodall are also included on this CD: his setting of Psalm 23, well known as the theme tune of the BBC's Vicar of Dibley series; Love Divine, a hymn of praise set to Charles Wesley's reassuring, open-hearted words; and, finally, Goodall's setting of Spared, Wendy Cope's poem capturing the feelings of many people following the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York on September 11, 2001. "[The work] acts, I hope, as a fitting companion to Eternal Light: A Requiem."

Yes, celeriac can be sexy.
Well. The annual Big One.
The Ledbury was the site of my birthday lunch, back in May. The annual epic Michelin blow-out.
The Ledbury was absolutely top of the list after genuinely gushing reviews from all kinds of folks whom I respect enormously, most notably Mark from Wahaca who talked about it without taking a breath for several minutes.
So a table for six was dutifully booked way in advance, and in the final weekend of May we ventured out West to parts of Notting Hill we'd probably not see again for quite some time.
Before we get into any kind of by-the-numbers course dissection (which I think I'll just let the photographs do, erm, visually), it's worth pointing out exactly what I feel makes the Ledbury one of the absolute Best Restaurants In London.
Bonhomie. Banter. Wit. Overwhelming knowledge. A little bit of showing off. All perfectly placed. Deftly timed.
There are very few restaurants that can truly say they've got the appropriate level of service absolutely right, but the Ledbury is certainly one of them. The staff somehow manage to be convivial, relaxed and sometimes downright cheeky without straying too far into the uncomfortable over-friendliness and ill-timing that plagues other London restaurants, especially in the ££££ bracket.
And it's not just the maitre d' or sommelier who exude this uncanny, natural charm, but every single member of the waiting staff.
All of them. Exceptional.
What elevates the Ledbury's cooking into its very own league is the quite unbelievable variety of texture, both in each individual dish and across the whole menu. It's an enormously difficult thing to express in words, so if you haven't already been sold to enough, get down there and eat. Just the simple act of putting each course in your mouth is a highly excitable and complex experience, weird as that may sound.
My mother, in her own inimitable style, referred to the use of 'grit' in each course. She meant it in the nicest possible way, and I don't think any of us could think of a better word for it. It's layered softness, but with depth. Nope. Not much better. Moving on…
Being a bit daring.
I suppose I'm referring to the wine here. We went for the matched wines at an extra £45 per head. Red with fish. Port halfway through. Mental. A blithe disregard for the Michelin rulebook. But calm, considered, tradition-banishing choices. The kind of choices that exude confidence in each component choice of every course.
And each of the bolder choices were flawlessly explained by the sommelier. What a dude.
So now this review is a bit past its menu relevancy date, I'm not sure what's still on the Ledbury tasting menu. Our collective highlights were the faux squid risotto, the pomp and theatre surrounding the celeriac. Yes, celeriac can be sexy. And the finest loin of lamb you ever did see.
The trouble now is I feel the Ledbury should be in my life more often, since it's such a joyous, care-free, but undeniably elegant experience. And what makes it even more tempting is the simple fact that the set menus are an absolute steal.
If it's on your to-eat list, move it up a few notches to the top and get over there. You will not be disappointed.

Don't miss these too!
This is great! I attended last year's HK Wine and Dine Festival and it was fantastic. We spent three nights enjoying good food and wine for a fraction of price. Thumbs up!
I bet you'd enjoy the festival.
I went last few years. it is simply a great event
I wish this event will be organize in Malaysia. It seem a good event whereby we get to taste and know wine better. Thank you for sharing
I miss HK! If you have got time must visit the mountain peak! great view and very beautiful.
I hope some day it will happen in Malaysia as I would really love to know more about wine 🙂
Never been to HK but this seems like a great event for a get together with friends and fam!
Looks great and like a lot of fun! Wish I could attend!!
This seems like a great event with wine and dine, good to be there with family and friends.
8th annual CCB (Asia) Wine & Dine Festival seems cool. I wish I could join too! Love wine 🙂
Such a fancy wine and dine occasion. A great way to enjoy the evening.
this definitely look pretty awesome… hope you have a fun time wining and dining away…
Looks really happening! I wonder is there any wine testing session, it will be really great!
Pretty established event! Have fun if you decide to go!
This looks totally Shiok! Food, Wine, Fun and Friends…awesome combo.
Didn't know about this Wine & Dine event until I read your post, thanks for the info sharing 🙂
Wish I could join too but not allowed to drink alcohol for now
i bet that was fun, who doesn't want to wine and dine under the stars. such a great event idea.


text: How many times have we been told to wash our hands before sitting down at the supper table or after touching money and other dirty surfaces? By washing up we think that we're clean and microorganism-free. We have baths, cook our food, treat our sewage and even cover our mouths when we cough and sneeze to prevent the spread of those tiny dirty particles that could make us sick.

Alright, stay home sessions are my new favourite thing in life. I love the idea of doing a couples shoot entirely inside the couples home - something about it just feels more "real". Also, it probably helps when the couple is cool as hell, their house is wicked, and they have an unreal dog named Bowie!
I can't wait to shoot more stay home sessions like this in the near future!

addicted to coffee (decaf, flavoured, lattes etc.)
I think a little recap is in order, since I didn't post here in oh, about 3 weeks. The truth is I've been trying to keep myself motivated in other arguably more important areas of my life - like work, a course I'm taking one evening a week and taking care of the dog. Which some nights consists of me half-passed out reading in bed with her sulking next to me. I can't lie. I've been a little run-down lately.
I'm not trying to turn this post to turn into a bummer, so I'll feed you some happiness (or at least something lighter). After all, I am wearing the schlumpiest of the schlumpy sweatpants. And that shit makes me happy.
The most UNimportant update is I cut my bangs.
I didn't plan it at all really. Just trimmed them normally, didn't like them, wanted a change and impulsively snipped them a week or so later. Last time I had them like this was a couple years ago, but they only stayed for a couple of months. They took some time to style back then and I really appreciate having low maintenance hair. They've been a bit easier to maintain this time, so I'm hoping to keep them for a while. We'll see...
I would also like to keep the sun a bit longer. The pic on the left was taken on Monday and the right side on Thursday. From sandals and my new (and favorite!) maxi dress to covering up in lounge pants and funny slippers that remind me of Minnie Mouse. Must be the bows!
It's still coat weather here. This was me last night. I was reading a blog about a vegan restaurant and I just couldn't stop thinking about my favorite vegan soups from Human-T cafe. So I made the long trek to the cafe with D in the mist to pick up a nice big cup of this.
Broccoli soup with sweet potato and crostini. I drank the whole cup. Yes, drank. I was expecting it to be a bit thicker, but it the taste was so delicious I didn't mind at all. The perfect comfort soup. And best of all - dairy free!
If anyone is actually still reading this -- I'm thankful but surprised.
Tonight I watched Jesse & Celeste Forever. It was completely adorable, weird at times and tear-inducing. Andy Samberg was impressive and Rashida Jones was magic. You should watch it - it's on Netflix. Unless you just broke up with someone, in which case, you should probably wait six months or so. I'm
Afterwards, I forced myself to just paint and this is what came out. Ugh, feelings.
TGIF. Tomorrow.
Anyone have plans for the weekend?

OK, maybe not that last one! As we've discussed before, this is a common scam that has now been around for a few years.
It works like this... There are 2 basic scenarios:
- you get a popup on your computer telling you that "Microsoft" has detected that there is a problem with your PC, and you should call the phone number they provide, or;
- you get a phone call directly from "Microsoft" telling you that they have detected a problem on your PC.
Of course, neither of these are legitimate. Microsoft will not call you.
This article has a recording of what one of these calls sounds like. Here's another.

I said PC above, but people with Macs have received these as well!
Here's the thing about these scammer orgs... they provide very good customer support! That, of course, is good for them but bad for us. It's one of the reasons that these scams work. People are very happy to receive great customer support - it's unfortunately too rare. So when a friendly, attentive "customer service" rep is telling someone that their computer is infected, it can be convincing.
Typically the "customer service" rep will ask the victim to pop a web browser and type in what they tell them. The victim's web browser is directed to a malware site that will give the attacker control of that PC.
Why do they do this?

So far, the Republican presidential race has been characterised by the fact that Mitt Romney is probably going to win, but that many rank-and-file Republicans are desperate for him not to.
Attempts to find a viable Anything But Romney candidate from among the other contenders have failed so far – each time one seems to surge ahead, usually resulting from a strong debate performance, it's not long before gaffes, negative advertising or private life revelations have knocked them off their perch.
In a field dominated by the Republican hard-right, Romney's a relative centrist, and the most able to win over middle-of-the-road voters who have become disillusioned with Obama. As far as winning round the rank-and-file is concerned, his Mormonism has drawn hostility from the highly influential evangelical Christian demographic – many evangelicals don't see Mormons as 'proper' Christians – as have his flip-flopping views on issues like abortion and gay marriage. Expect him to continue tacking right as the contest progresses to try and win their support, and, if nominated, choose a notable social conservative as his Vice Presidential candidate to compensate for his lack of right-wing credentials – 'balancing the ticket' in US political jargon.
Essentially, of the candidates standing with a realistic chance of winning the nomination, Romney would probably make the least worst Republican President – see below for the alternatives. He's also the candidate most likely to be able to win against Obama.
Four more years of Obama would be infinitely preferable to any Republican President, and so, ideally, a divisive hard-liner like Rick Santorum or Ron Paul would win the nomination, mightily please their grassroots supporters, but go on to be annihilated in the election proper. As it stands, the best we can hope for is that Gingrich, Paul and Perry hold out until the end, making Romney waste money fighting them off that could otherwise be used to slur Obama.
The Candidates
Mitt Romney, 64, governed liberal Massachusetts from 2003 to 2007, then staged an unsuccessful bid to win the Republican presidential nomination in 2008. As governor, he was broadly socially tolerant, but fiscally conservative – he cut spending and raised fees to wipe out a $3bn budget deficit. That said, he also introduced a state system of universal health insurance which would later provide a model for Obama's nationwide Republican-baiting healthcare reforms. He has since moved Right, reversing his stances on a variety of social issues. As Governor of permissive Massachusetts, Romney was for gay marriage, believed in man-made climate change, and supported women's right to choose – with his first try at winning over his party's right-wing rank-and-file to secure the Republican presidential nomination, he suddenly became a pro-life climate change denialist staunchly against gay marriage. Romney won the Iowa Caucus, albeit extremely narrowly, and is currently the Republican front-runner.
Newt Gingrich, 68, was the Speaker of the House of Representatives between 1994 and 1998, leading Republicans to a majority in the House for the first time in 40 years. His tenure was marked by hard-line fiscal conservatism – his so-called 'Contract with America' aimed to drastically reduce the size of government, encourage lower taxes, promote entrepreneurialism, and cut welfare. His current proposals for tax cuts and budget-balancing strongly echo his policies as House Speaker fourteen years previously. He was a persistent thorn in the side of then-President Bill Clinton, particularly in the latter's embattled second term when Gingrich attempted to have him impeached over the scandal resulting from his high-profile affair with White House aide Monica Lewinsky. The fact that Gingrich himself was having an affair with a member of his staff at the time, and had previously divorced his cancer-stricken wife while she was in hospital, are things that highly influential Republican social conservatives aren't likely to forget in a hurry.
Ron Paul, 76, is a cult figure on America's hard-line libertarian right. Formerly an Air Force surgeon, then an obstetrician, Paul represent Texas' 14th District in the House of Representatives, and came fourth in the 2008 Presidential Primaries. Viewed as a fringe eccentric by many, he is a free market fundamentalist who supports drastically reduced government spending and the abolition of income tax. He refuses to support any piece of legislation he believes is not authorised by America's constitution, and proudly states that he has never voted for any measure that would lead to an unbalanced budget. However, his libertarianism means he takes a strikingly different stance on foreign affairs than most of his Republican colleagues. Paul was a vocal opponent of the war in Iraq, and of George W. Bush's controversial PATRIOT Act, seen to have curbed liberties in the name of anti-terrorism. Among Paul's more eye-catching policies are the legalisation of heroin, American withdrawal from NATO and the UN, and a pledge to cut $1 trillion from the federal budget in his first year in office. By comparison, Barack Obama has recently signed up to some of the biggest budget cuts in American history that will reduce federal spending to 1950s levels – they aims to cut $1 trn over a decade. Ron Paul came third in Iowa.
Rick Santorum, 53, is a former Senator for Pennsylvania. Devoutly Catholic, Santorum is probably the most socially conservative candidate to stand in the 2012 Primaries. Some of his wince-inducing pronouncements on social issues ensure that he won't be a candidate to win over undecided moderates, either among registered Republicans or the broader electorate. Santorum is not only against gay marriage, but in favour of annulling all existing same-sex marriages. He is on record as blaming child abuse on liberal culture, and suggesting that it is more prevalent in liberal cities like Boston, as well as opposing a Supreme Court decision that prevented the state of Connecticut from outlawing all contraception. In his campaign, he is making much of his experience on Senatorial committees relating to foreign affairs, particularly in relation to Iran – if Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's regime wouldn't open up its nuclear facilities to international inspectors, Senator Santorum has said, as President he would bomb them. Having campaigned exhaustively in Iowa, hoping his social views would chime with the state's high concentration of evangelical Christians, Santorum came within seven votes of winning, ultimately having to settle for second place behind Mitt Romney.
Rick Perry, 60, is the current governor of Texas, and the longest-serving in the state's history. There, he has managed to balance the books in the return for deep cuts to state education. Initially a front-runner, energising grassroots evangelicals with a religious rally attended by 30,000, Perry's fortunes have fallen rapidly – he got Kim Jong Il's name wrong, embarrassingly fumbled an answer about what he'd do if told Pakistan had lost one of its nuclear weapons, forgot what he was going to say three times during the same televised debate and revealed that he thought the US voting age was 21, when in fact it was brought down to 18 in 1971. Expect Perry or John Huntsman to be the next candidate to drop out of the race.
John Huntsman, 51, is a former governor of Utah, served as Ambassador to Singapore under Bill Clinton, and Ambassador to China under Barack Obama. Huntsman shunned Iowa completely to concentrate on making a splash in the more liberal New Hampshire. As such, his campaign has barely made a dent so far, and he is the most likely candidate to drop out next. He is anti-abortion, anti-tax and wants to abolish Medicare, but it says all you need to know about the Republican Party circa 2012 that he's considered a left-wing moderate. Undeniably pragmatic and out of step with Tea Party era right-wing excess, Huntsman says he wants to see his Party 'return to sanity someday'. Consider it a Bemolutionary prediction that he won't last long.
Michele Bachmann, Tea Party favourite and the only female candidate to stand, dropped out after coming last in Iowa – her candidacy was seriously hurt when she claimed that the HPV vaccine, aimed at preventing cervical cancer, caused 'mental retardation'. Businessman Herman Cain, formerly CEO of the Godfather Pizza restaurant chain, was briefly a front-runner in the earliest stages of the race, but suspended his campaign when former employees emerged accusing him of sexual harassment.

Can Martin Gernat follow countryman Marincin's path and claim a job with the Edmonton Oilers?
2014 Edmonton Oilers prospects: Martin Gernat
Comparisons between Martin Gernat and Martin Marincin are almost inevitable.
Both players are from Kosice, Slovakia, and were drafted by the Oilers out of their home country's top junior league. Both came overseas to round out their games in the WHL before making the jump the Oklahoma City Barons. They even play a similar game – both are tall, lanky defenders with a little bit of chaos in their games but also with significant potential at both ends of the rink.
It's a comparison that Edmonton's fans should welcome. Marincin graduated to the major leagues in the back half of last year and immediately impressed. Is it madness to think that Gernat could do the same?
According to Barons coach Todd Nelson, it's in Gernat's best interest if his NHL debut is pushed off for a while."Gernat has to get stronger," Nelson said. "We saw Marincin go through this, and he needs to get stronger, but Marty's stronger than he looks right now. You could see he was losing some battles the first year and this year he's handled the corners really well."
"Gernat has to learn intensity consistently," he added. "He's able to make plays; everybody knows that. He has to learn intensity consistently and playing strong in the corners and in front of the net. That's all it comes down to for him. He can develop skills – everybody can be a better skater – but progression for him, I think he needs a good couple of years at this level."
Those comments came in late February, and paint the picture of a player with a lot of development yet to come. But, as Nelson admitted, sometimes a player can surprise.
"Last year at this time I would have said the same thing about Marty Marincin," he said. "[That] he needs a full two years."
In Gernat's case, a full two AHL seasons is probably more defensible because all down the line Marincin has tracked just a little bit better. Marincin was a second round pick; Gernat wasn't selected until the fifth round. Marincin's AHL debut came in a lockout year and while he had some ups and downs he also spent time on the top pairing with Justin Schultz in the first half of the campaign. Gernat in contrast didn't start earning those opportunities until the last half of the year, and he had a quick trip to the ECHL to get some playing time early in the season.
There's no reason to rush. The biggest problem with Gernat's game is strength; he needs to put in the work and develop physically because at the moment he can be overpowered in physical battles. Nelson used the word "intensity" and he isn't wrong; aggression doesn't seem to come naturally to Gernat and he needs to be more assertive in the defensive zone.
Gernat knows this, of course. On January 4 he scored his first two AHL goals in the same game, one a backhand off a smart pinch to the slot and the other a rocket from the point. After the game I lobbed a softball question to him asking how it felt to score those markers and his answer was telling.
"I did what I should [have done] and helped the team," he said. "I didn't play well in the first period."
He added that it was important for him to gain strength if he was to be an effective professional.
It's good that he recognizes the issues, but it's also important to remember that they are correctable and not remotely unique to him; many a young defenceman has fought through similar. And in this case, patience is justified, because Gernat's tools are exceptional. He has a pro frame, pro skating, and he can think the game at a high level.
There's enough there that if he adds some muscle and some forcefulness to his defensive game there's really no reason he can't be a top-four defenceman in the majors.
Expectations for 2014-15: Gernat is now an established AHL'er, and it's important that he build off the season he just had. By the end of the year he was playing top-four minutes; he needs to spend an entire year in that role, logging major minutes in all situations and excelling. A late-season NHL recall is not at all out of the question, and a successful year will have Gernat in the major-league conversation in 2015-16.

Putting on the full Armor of God
Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.Recently "The Armor of God" was the central theme to our stake conference. One of the sisters told of a story where they dressed a young missionary in kitchen accessories to emphasize the importance of being clothed in the armor of God while he served his mission. With the exception of placing a butcher knife in the hands of my two-year-old, I thought this would be an excellent activity for our family, and, as I presumed, my two-year old loved it.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.-Ephesians 6:13-17
Lesson OutlineOur Family Home Evening outline was as follows:Opening prayer, and we sang The Army of Helaman as the opening song. Then we talked about what armor is and how it protects us. We explained it with a Family Finch game I made from a CD I bought a year ago, and then proceeded to dress my little warrior. He adamantly refused to be pictured for this post, and I respected that, but his clothing was as follows:
- For the loins girt with truth, a dish towel tucked in his pants
- For the breastplate, a muffin tin worn with pipe cleaners (I love those things!)
- For the feet shod with preparation, a pair of my sandals
- For the shield of faith, a pan lid
- For the helmet of salvation, a pot
- For the sword of the Spirit, a butter knife
