Ben Swift admitted a little bit more patience in the final sprint could have seen him claim victory in stage two of this year's Tour of Britain.
Having kept himself in prime position heading into the closing moments of the 200km stage, Swift made his dash for the line.
But Australia's Mark Renshaw had ideas of his own and just pipped the Team Sky rider on the line to take victory and with it the leader's jersey.
Swift's second place still claimed him the points jersey and moved him up to second overall, four seconds behind Renshaw.
Swift's teammate Sir Bradley Wiggins came home 11th and sits ten seconds back on the yellow jersey while Mark Cavendish, who was still feeling the after effects of his stage one crash, finished back in 34th place.
And while happy to claim the points jersey early on in the race, Swift revealed the main aim was get Wiggins in position to challenge for the overall win.
"The finish was quite a tough one with a bit of a dangerous descent. You needed to be at the front and that's where we were," he said.
"I just mistimed the sprint and went a little bit too early. We knew it was a bit of a tailwind finish but I could have waited for 50 or 100 metres more.
"I've got the points jersey now but our main goal this week is to try and win the yellow jersey with Bradley Wiggins.
"He's shown that he's in great form. Tomorrow is going to be the big test so we'll see how we handle that."

At our upcoming Catalysts of Change event, in partnership with Retail Week, we'll be launching our latest research featuring comment from over 70 retail executives on how they see technology impacting the future of the industry. We'll explore how disruptive technologies are changing consumer behaviour, but also providing new opportunities for retailers to understand and engage with their customers.
Mobile has been seen as one such tech 'trend' in retail for quite some time now. This time last year marked a tipping point, with sales made via this channel exceeding 50% for the first time (IMRG, 2016). However, as consumer confidence in transacting via mobile increases, retailers haven't always kept pace in providing a seamless mobile experience.
Enter Grabble. Sometimes referred to as the 'tinder of shopping', since launching in 2014, Grabble has been featured as the 'Best New App' in 34 countries by Apple and shoppers have browsed, and swiped, over 150 million times.
Ahead of our launch event in April we caught up with Dan Murray, CEO and Co-founder, to get a glimpse into the topics he'll be covering in his keynote presentation. Check it out below and don't forget to secure your place here.
Dan Murray is CEO and Co-founder of Grabble. He'll be delivering a keynote presentation at our Catalysts of Change event on April 4th, London. Get your tickets here.

(AP Photo/ William Harvey, Pine Bluff Commercial, File) Sport hunting is not ethical The Times' article reveals some disturbing details about killing wild turkeys ["It's turkey time for hunters, too," NWTraveler, Nov. 10]. Christy Karras reports that there is a new trend for some people to connect with nature by killing some of its creatures. She gives lots of advice about hunting ethically; there is not such a thing. Killing is never ethical. Killing any animal with a gun or a bow and arrow is the antithesis of ethical hunting. Thanksgiving is already a crime against domestic turkeys nationally. Hunting the wild ones, under the pretense of foraging for food, only makes matter worse. It also makes hunters feel better not to call it sport hunting. Let these beautiful wild critters roam free and bring a camera instead of a gun. Claudine Erlandson, Shoreline Comments | More in Hunting | Topics: hunting, Thanksgiving

Finer Opportunities for the Greater Home Cleaning for You
Many workers like to have a help in the household. Not surprising: it is also wonderful to come home after a long working day in a bright clean interior.Since a few years you do not have to worry about the Tax Authorities tapping you when you hire a worker.
If you hire home help for a maximum of three days per week, such as a cleaning lady or a nanny, you do not have to file a wage tax return and also pay wage tax and employee insurance premiums, as stipulated in the in-house services scheme. As a result, the worker is also not insured against incapacity for work or unemployment. With the good at home cleaning services now you will be able to have the perfect option now.
Holiday allowance cleaning lady
But that arrangement does not absolve you of all your duties. Formally, you must pay at least the minimum wage. The amount depends on the age of the cleaner. On top of that comes another 8 percent vacation allowance, which you can pay out once or can settle in the agreed hourly rate.
If you fail to do so, according to trade unionist, the cleaning lady can claim overdue payments retroactively over a period of five years. Because even if you have not drawn up an employment contract, it is formally an employment contract. After all, there is a relationship of authority.
White worker organization
If you do not want this hassle, you can hire a professional organization that will arrange for you a worker. This help is in the service of the organization. This means that you do not have to pay if your cleaning lady is ill or goes on holiday.
Self-recruiting cleaning lady
Who wants to be cheaper, can pick up and pay for a cleaning lady herself? The easiest way to find a good, reliable power is to make inquiries with friends and neighbors. You can also hang up a note in the supermarket or scan advertising sites as Marketplace, but you are not sure who will get you. At the company you can view customer reviews, although you can not see who wrote it.
Mediation agency
If you want help in your search, you can call on a mediation agency. They exchange addresses from employers against payment.
Screening cleaning lady
Take a good look at which services you receive: do you only get access to a database or does the organization itself make contact? Also inform how an organization screens candidates. If everyone who logs in is included in a database, you might as well find a maid through an advertisement site.
Home Works reports on request that she screens assistants by interviewing job interviews and checking references. A statement about the behavior which is only provided to people who have not been convicted does not request this organization.

Seven months old Puppy Update
Hey! Diego has finally made it to seven months old, it is crazy but it feels like I have had him for much longer than I actually have. I believe we got him sometime in September so in that case it has only been roughly four months. Eeek, I am happy with how much we have got out of that short space of time.
- Diego has learnt sit, stay, down, wait, shake, crawl (Still needs treats), and is currently learning roll over.
- Diego graduated from puppy school.
- He grew all his adult teeth in, and only left one puppy tooth inside his mouth for luck. I also managed to keep a tooth for myself which is awesome.
- Been on two road trips up north, where he explored multiple different beaches, bush walks, rivers and exciting new places.
- He surprised a lot of people as to how big he has grown. He is now 10.6kgs and I believe he is still bulking out.
- He is successfully crate trained, and as I am writing this he has wandered into his crate to have a snooze. He did have a period there where he still went toilet in his crate, but that has finally been put in the past. *touch wood*
- He is also successfully house trained. It has been a long while since he has gone toilet inside, and we have also stayed at my parents separate houses with no issues.
- He has trialed multiple different toys, and then destroyed those said toys.
- And he has eaten even more treats! We still have a bunch of unopened packages of treats that we need to ration since he has so much.
- Had his first Halloween, and Christmas.
- Volunteered to help HUHA collect for their annual appeal.
Now with all that being said, I want the next four months to be even more action packed! There are a few group dog walks happening in our area which have been arranged by HUHA within the next few weeks. We also have another trip booked to go up north at the end of January for 9 days, and while up there we will be going on many more adventures. I want to try and get some footage while I am up there so you all understand why I love it up there so much. Diego is going to have to undergo surgery for his neutering as well as his extra puppy tooth which I am planning to get done in February. This all means that the next few months are going to be a busy time for us! I can't wait.
Thanks for reading :)
Thanks for reading :)

New Live Action Battlefront Commercial
November 10th, 2015
I laughed. I laughed and laughed and laughed because I thought there were suddenly a bunch of naked people playing Battlefront somewhere:
Then it turns out to be a reference to Obi-Wan Kenobi, which I never once picked up. I just kept thinking of naked people playing video games. What does that say about me?

On tap for this project was to switch the dining room with the small kitchen. A simple trade of rooms allowed us to maximize the new kitchen space. We then opened the load bearing wall between the kitchen and dining room and created a 10′ wide opening. The new opening ties the two rooms together as well as opens up the flow during periods of entertaining.
The home was built in the early 1900's and was dark, detailed woodwork throughout. Our clients choice for the new kitchen cabinets was black walnut with a beaded inset door. The black walnut with the existing dark trim blended as if they were installed together at the beginning. All the woodwork in the renovated areas was custom milled to match the existing profiles which helps to create the seamless and invisible transition between old and new. Stone countertops and distressed hardwood floors further enhance the character of this historic home.
Our clients love for finely crafted micro brews allowed us to install three beer taps into the new kitchen. The taps are discretely installed into the tile backsplash with the kegs remotely installed into the basement. With the beverage center and taps located at one end of the kitchen, multiple activities and entertaining can happen simultaneously.

Will it go through that Kinect Central (is that what it's called?) app?"
"Wait, free? Is it such a good idea to release a pay-for game for free on it's release? You'll lose so many sales!"

Singaporeans are becoming poorer and having less disposable income after 4 years of PAP rule, according to the latest release of the authoritative international study 'Prices and Earnings' conducted by UBS.
Singapore is now ranked the 11th most expensive city in the world, but Singaporeans are only ranked a pathetic 43th and 49th in domestic wages and purchasing power respectively, along the likes of developing countries like Turkey, Slovakia and Qatar and far below the capitals of other Asian Tigers – Seoul, Taipei and Hong Kong.
Even the Malaysians now have a higher domestic purchasing power than Singaporeans though their wages are lower than ours.
The mismatch between the GDP growth of the state and the relative poverty of Singaporeans is caused largely by the PAP's immigration and labor policies which have allowed foreigners from all over the world to come and work in Singapore with little screening or control which is almost unheard of in other First World countries.
A Wall Street Journal editorial last year reported that the relentless influx of foreigners has depressed the wages of ordinary Singaporeans, increased the cost of living and led to an overall decline in the standard of living.
Latest statistics from the Manpower Ministry showed a gradual decline of the average monthly income of Singaporeans while inflation hit a record high of 3.8 percent in November 2010.
Prices of resale HDB flats have grown by 13.3 percent in 2010 and a shocking 51.3 percent since 2007, pricing many ordinary Singaporeans out of the open market.
Despite the statistics showing that Singaporeans have fared worse after 4 years of PAP rule, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong continued to harp on Singapore's 'spectacular' GDP growth last year which is artificially inflated by a 'rebound' from a low baseline in the previous year and by the massive import of cheap foreign workers which boost demand in services and decrease labor costs.
The multi-million dollar salaries of PAP ministers is pegged to GDP growth – the higher the growth, the more money they bring home though the rest of the population may not be enjoying the fruits from the growth.
Singapore's record 14.7% growth for 2010....
By Shamim Adam
Jan. 1 (Bloomberg) -- Singapore's economy may be supported by a "strong" Asia as growth cools in 2011 from a record pace last year, according to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
Gross domestic product rose 14.7 percent in 2010, Lee, 58, said in his New Year message released in Singapore yesterday. That compares with the government's November forecast of a 15 percent expansion. The trade ministry predicts the economy will expand 4 percent to 6 percent this year, an estimate reiterated by Lee.
"In Asia, growth momentum is strong," Lee said. "China and India are forging ahead, and countries in Southeast Asia are growing steadily. Hopefully Asia will continue to do well despite the weakness in developed countries, and create a favorable regional environment for Singapore."
Asia led a global recovery last year as growth in developed markets was restrained by Europe's sovereign credit woes and U.S. unemployment that remains above 9 percent. Singapore's rebound has fueled inflation, prompting the central bank to allow faster currency gains and leading the government to implement measures to cool the property market.
"Inflation risks for Singapore appear to be tilted toward the upside," Alvin Liew, a Singapore-based economist at Standard Chartered Plc, said before Lee's message. After getting a boost from manufacturing last year, Singapore's tourism and financial services industries will increasingly drive growth in 2011, spurred by "rising regional domestic demand from China and Southeast Asia," he said.
Currency Appreciation
The Monetary Authority of Singapore said in October it will steepen and widen the currency's trading band while continuing to seek a "modest and gradual appreciation," after undertaking a one-time revaluation in April. The central bank, which uses the exchange rate rather than a benchmark interest rate as its main tool to manage inflation, guides the Singapore dollar against a basket of currencies within an undisclosed band.
The Singapore dollar climbed more than 9 percent against the U.S. currency last year, marking its biggest one-year gain since 1994 and the fourth-best performance in Asia excluding Japan. The currency, which rose 0.6 percent to S$1.2823 versus the U.S. dollar yesterday, may strengthen to S$1.24 at the end of 2011, according to a central bank survey of economists published last month.
Inflation will average between 2 percent and 3 percent this year, the central bank predicts. Consumer prices rose 3.8 percent in November, the biggest increase in 22 months.
Fastest Growing
Singapore's estimated expansion for 2010 would make the city of 5 million people the fastest-growing economy in the world after Qatar's, according to International Monetary Fund estimates.
"The outlook for the world economy is mixed," Lee said. "The U.S. economy is still weak. Europe faces serious debt crises in Greece, Ireland and a few other countries."
The economy grew 12.5 percent in the fourth quarter from a year earlier, Lee said. That compares with the 13.2 percent median estimate of 12 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News.
GDP probably increased about 6.5 percent last quarter from the previous three months, based on the year-on-year number given by Lee, said Song Seng Wun, an economist at CIMB Research Pte in Singapore. Liew at Standard Chartered estimates growth of 6.3 percent. That compares with the median forecast for an annualized 9.4 percent expansion in a Bloomberg survey of eight economists.
The economy contracted 18.7 percent from July to September. The trade ministry will release the fourth-quarter economic report at 8 a.m. on Jan. 3.
Companies Expand
The island's biggest companies are boosting operations or expanding overseas as the global economy recovers from a slump in 2009. DBS Group Holdings Ltd., Southeast Asia's biggest bank, said last month it will take over Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc.'s retail and commercial banking businesses in China.
Neptune Orient Lines Ltd., owner of Asia's second-largest container line and controlled by Singapore state-investment fund Temasek Holdings Pte, in July signed a $1.2 billion contract for as many as 12 vessels with Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co.
Singapore, the second-busiest container port globally, is located at the southern end of the 600-mile (966-kilometer) Malacca Strait, the world's busiest sea lane. The island has remained vulnerable to fluctuations in overseas demand for manufactured goods even after the government boosted financial services and tourism.
Lure of Casinos
The country's first casinos opened last year as part of so- called integrated resorts run by Genting Singapore Plc and Las Vegas Sands Corp., luring tourists to their gambling centers, restaurants, malls and a Universal Studios theme park.
"The tourism-related sectors continued to do well as Singapore continued to hit record tourist arrivals month after month so far in 2010, with a significant role played by the integrated resorts," said Liew of Standard Chartered. The casino-resorts "may have added 1 percentage point to headline GDP growth in 2010, excluding the potential spillover impact to other tourism-related industries such as hotels, food and beverage and even the real estate market."
The city state added 82,000 jobs in the nine months through September, pushing the unemployment rate to 2.1 percent, the lowest level in 2 1/2 years. Average wages before adjusting for inflation rose 5.4 percent in the third quarter from a year earlier.
"Singapore is not without challenges and problems," Lee said. "We have to manage the inflow of foreign workers and immigrants, keep home ownership affordable to all, and help low- income Singaporeans cope with the cost of living."
By Topsage...
Consider the following statistics of life in Singapore:
1. Singaporeans work the most number of hours per week in the world.
2. Most Singaporeans will never own a car because COEs are limited.
3. The Average home of a Singapore has fallen from 1660 sq feet to about 1000 sq feet in the past decades.
4. Fertility rate in Singapore has fallen to below Japan among the lowest in the world.
5. Less half the Singaporeans can meet the minimum sum for CPF retirement accounts. Meaning many will never retire.
6. 17% of Singaporeans do not have medical insurance. The highest in the developed world give and take a few % compared with USA.
7. Singapore has the fastest growing foreigner population per capita in the world. Within a decade, the majority of people in Singapore will be foreign born.
8. Singapore has the highest paid political leaders in the world....
9. Singapore has the highest income gap of all developed countries.
10. More than one person kills himself/herself everyday. Yesterday a woman killing herself fell on another woman to give a death toll of 2.
11. Singaporeans have the highest savings rate in the world due to CPF but many still can't retire.
12. The Singapore parliament has the fewest opposition in terms of % of seats in the world among countries that claim to be democratic...of course we are also democratic.
13. Singapore bans chewing gum but legalise casinos. Casinos are legalised in only 2 of the 50 American states.
14. Singapore hangs the most people per capita in the world. Even more than China....don't believe as this feller called Shadrake.
15. Singapore cars are the most expensive in the world.
16. Singaporeans have the lowest purchasing power among all developed countries according the UBS...even Malaysians have higher purchasing power.
17. Singapore govt has the highest sovereign wealth fund per capita. ..and among the top few in absolute terms.
18. Singapore spends more on defense than Malaysia and Indonesia combined - so I guess we don't need too much diplomacy and or diplomats
can afford to badmouth them according to wikileaks. Now that they know, we better spend a $100M extra this year on defense.
17. Singapore has the No.1 civil service in the world according to Minister Lim Swee Say. I want to add we also have No.1 civil service in terms of pay for the top echelon. Some can afford french cooking lessons.
18. Singapore has only one news paper company called SPH that produces hoard of quality papers such as Straits Times, Sin Miin and other reading delights. We had 5 newspaper companies a few decades ago, I guess this business is in decline even as the population increases.
19. Singaporeans serve NS for 2-2.5 years, this is the longest in the world after Israel. We do it because we can afford the time. Many Singaporean workers will work their whole life without retirement anyway so what is the diff. putting aside 2 years.
20. Singapore has the world's oldest and wisest politician. His name is Lee Kuan Yew. As long as he is around, the good life for Singaporeans will continue. He will make sure of that.
21. Lee Kuan Yew's son is Lee Hsien Loong who coincidentally became PM due to his own merit. His New Year Message this year asks Singaporeans to be more RESILIENT. I guess we better be given all the points I wrote above.
22. Singapore has the most expensive public housing in the world....but according to Minister Mah, it is still affordable.

We speak with authority, inspiration and conviction at this time, so others are easily swayed to our point of view.
We have a way with words that is lacking at other times. One thing to watch for is obsessive or circular thinking. We've got the mental discipline to move beyond it, and we should. We can see what no one else sees right now, so its a good time to volunteer for a research project or investigation. This is also an excellent time to read a self-help book or consult with a therapist, because we arent afraid to look inward, and accurate self-understanding is the satisfying result.

The euro is getting pummeled, and the upcoming European Central Bank meeting is unlikely to change its course.
The past week was a rough one for the euro, what with a crisis in Hungary, a raft of government bond sales, the looming threat of sovereign credit-rating cuts, and disappointing economic data. Next week won't be any better, says Amelia Bourdeau, director of foreign exchange at Westpac Institutional Bank.
"I'm very cautious on the euro," she says, especially with a meeting of the European Central Bank on the horizon as grim economic indicators pile up. Bourdeau told CNBC's Melissa Leeshe doesn't expect the bank's president, Mario Draghi, to announce an interest rate cut despite the gloomy headlines, but she's not sure anything the bank does could help the euro right now.
Rebecca Patterson, chief markets strategist for J.P. Morgan Asset Management, Institutional, agrees. "In recent months, when the ECB did cut, the euro fell. But when policy makers are seen as not acting fast enough to stem the crisis, the euro falls anyway," she says. "It's a matter of degree but not direction."
The picture in the U.S. is very different, Bourdeau says, noting that comments from Federal Reserve officials next week are likely to highlight the differences between the prospects for the U.S. and European economies - with the dollar reaping some benefit.
Bourdeau wants to sell the euro against the dollar, entering the trade at 1.2760 and looking for a move to 1.2500, with a stop at 1.2830.

Canton-I, specializing in flavours from the region of China - Canton is part of the Dragon-i Group.
They have a branch in ION Orchard which I've tried once long time ago.
The roasted pork was so (sinfully) gooood and the pork porridge with dried oyster was surprisingly delicious!
ION Orchard
2 Orchard Turn #03-14 S238801
I had lost the photos due to some phone backup errors previously :(
But no worries! Upon knowing that there's a branch in JB City Square, we decided to take advantage of the good exchange rates and as an excuse for a weekend "getaway" by paying a visit to the Canton-I in Malaysia.
The interior isn't as intricate and unique as the branch at ION Orchard.
Still, the cheery pink and white combi makes me very happy ^^
Should I have a pink room like this for my house next time? lol.
Deep fried beancurd with pepper and salt.
This is a MUST HAVE!
Though deep fried, it is not oily at all. The skin is so thin and crispy that you wouldn't feel guilty at all for eating soon. Sooner than you will realise, you would have already finished the entire plate (oops, me la me la).
The inside so soft and *healthy*
Abalone porridge which is very good too!
But not much ingredients in it. I would prefer Ah Biao abalone noodles anytime! :P'''
The pork belly is slightly different from Singapore's.
Not as crispy :(
Dimsum were pretty much average, except for the salted egg yolk custard bun.
Ginseng wolfberry aloe vera drink, very yummy!
Here's a piggy bun which looks so cuteeee. But we were too full to stomach any more food.
Til the next time!

Move over Grumpy Cat! There's a new feline star on the block. Meet Smoothie the Cat, aka "the world's most photogenic cat." The adorable British Longhair resides in the Netherlands where she pals around with her (almost)-equally-adorable brother, Milkshake. And her antics have made her an international superstar and Internet sensation. Smoothie has garnered over 700,000 loyal Instagram followers that tune in daily to catch a glimpse at what the sweet little cat is up to.
In addition to making waves across the Web, the famous feline has been featured in a plethora of publications including People Magazine, The Huffington Post, and many popular Dutch newspapers. She's also had her likeness attached to an array of merchandise, such as a pair of festive holiday socks. And if that isn't impressive enough, the glamorous kitty has her own iOs app, which "gives fans exclusive access to all things Smoothie."
PawCulture caught up with Smoothie's pet parent, Arvid van Boekel, to get a glimpse inside a day in the life of what many people have deemed "the prettiest cat in the world."
How old is Smoothie? She's 2 years old. Born on the 1st of April 2014.
What was the inspiration behind naming her "Smoothie?" We had a long list of names but I wanted an original, cute name. Smoothies are sweet and she's quite smooth as well.
What inspired you to make an Instagram page for Smoothie? I had so many nice pictures; I had to share them with the world! And Instagram is perfect for that.
How did she get so many social media fans and become so famous? She got reposted a lot! People seemed to really like her. Also, at some point, one of her pictures became a meme that appeared all over the Internet. Here is a photo of that meme:
Were you shocked that so many people took to her online and that she became a famous cat? Of course! I still find it really bizarre. I've never expected this. People gave her the title "the most photogenic cat in the world." I've never said that myself, but of course it's an honor. She has beautiful green eyes. That's what most of her articles are about. There are also a lot of questions about merchandise and she even has her own socks. I would love to create plush toys somehow, so everyone can get a Smoothie for themselves.
How old is Smoothie's brother Milkshake? Milkshake is just five months old. He's still a little kitten.
Are they buddies? They fight sometimes, but I think they can get along quite well. We took the introduction very slowly, so they could get used to one another. That worked out pretty well. Smoothie is more timid; Milkshake is a little rebel.
What is Smoothie's personality like? She's a Queen but a very sweet one—not arrogant. She doesn't always like to be held but sometimes she asks for cuddles. She doesn't harm a fly. Every time she sees Milkshake, she looks surprised, like it's the first time she ever sees him. That's so funny! She also can't stop bathing him.
Is Smoothie mischievous? Not really. She's really cautious. Milkshake is way more mischievous. Sometimes she has her moods, but it never got her really into trouble.
People call Smoothie "The World's Most Photogenic Cat." What makes her so photogenic? Her emerald-green eyes mostly, in combination with the color of her fur probably. The official name is 'golden shaded.'
Did you teach her to pose for the camera or did that come naturally to her? That came naturally. She has done that since the very beginning.
What is the process of keeping her coat so beautiful? Every other day, she needs to be groomed. When she starts to have little knots, I try to take them out by hand or cut them.
Does she like meeting new cats and humans? Not really. She's way more timid than Milkshake. She's usually scared of big guys with loud voices. But the people she trusts, she really trusts. She's so pure—it breaks my heart sometimes. Such a vulnerable little creature.
Does she prefer the company of humans or cats? Humans. But I think she's quite happy to have Milkshake in her life.
What are Smoothie's favorite things to do? She loves playing with threads and climbing. The higher the better.
What's your favorite part about living with Smoothie? Cats give so much love and laughter! I could recommend everyone to take a cat (there's also a lot of cute cats in shelters) cause it really brightens your life. I can't think of the fact that I'll have to miss her one day, so I enjoy every day with Smoothie and Milkshake to the fullest and give them all the love and attention they deserve.

Striknine (1999-present) is a Black Metal band from Washington, District of Columbia, USA.
oming out of Washington, DC and Baltimore, MD. Striknine formed in the summer of 1999 by Tommy Mott (vocals), Jon Letzkus (guitar/back. vocals), Rob "Lurch" Holland (bass), Marcus (keyboards/samples) and Dave Eaton (drums) when they tired with the status quo of music. By mixing death metal, black metal, hardcore and gothic sounds, Striknine made music of depth, power and emotion on their debut demo release in 2001. Due to their unique ideology they offered a strong but strange appearance while performing with such acts as Testament, Spineshank, Mundayne, Diecast, Badluck13 and Dying Fetus.

A few years ago when we were at Kentuck we saw our first bottle tree and ever since have been possessed by them. We had to have one. So after drinking many bottles of wine we finally had enough bottles to make our own bottle tree. Last week, Deb spent a day in the barn welding rebar and this was the result.
What is a bottle tree?
The bottle tree's origins can be traced back to Africa. It was believed that bottles suspended in the trees would attract evil spirits when the sun glimmered through the bottles. The evil spirits would then be trapped in the bottles.

Underground Metros From Around The World
If you ride Tokyo' s metro early enough on a Saturday morning you'll see hung over businessmen still in their suits who didn't quite make it home after a good night out. Many are chugging soft drinks purchased from Tokyo's ubiquitous vending machines.
Mexico City's metro is one of the cheapest and cleanest in the world and a subterranean market of sorts.
London's aptly named tube is amongst the most expensive public transportation in the world. It was the world's first underground metro.
New York City's subway system will take you from the Bronx to Brooklyn for a few bucks. Despite rising fares it's still the best deal in town.

I love the comment about the Tokyo subway. And I didn't know Mexico City's is one of the cleanest in the world! London's tube kinda sucked for me. We stayed near Kensington Station once, and it got flooded with what seemed like sewer water. So they had to temporarily close the circle line.

Berlin has some of the most interesting trains, in my opinion. Taxi-cab yellow with white decals of the Brandenburg gate affixed to the windows. And it's interesting to travel from former "West" to "East," seeing the contrasting architecture of the stations that used to be blocked from one another.

Become a social impact investor for as little as $50.
Is your staff spread across multiple locations? Or perhaps you have some virtual volunteers who help out with your website or online community? Just because your some of your staff isn't physically present in your office doesn't mean that they should be left out of meetings and important projects!
The power of technology can bring your entire staff together — whether they're in the office or working elsewhere. Best of all, this technology doesn't have to be expensive, either. TechSoup's catalog has discounted and donated hardware, software, and services to help your staff better telecommute.
Don't let distance get in the way of productive collaboration! These tools from TechSoup and our donor partners can help:
Whether you need to conduct a meeting across continents or hold a training session for remote volunteers, we've got the audio and video conferencing tools you need.
If you or your staff need to access your internal network from outside the office, a VPN lets you do so securely. A VPN is like a tunnel — it is a way to transmit data securely over the Internet between your laptop and your nonprofit's server.
Browse our Cisco catalog for all the security appliances and other hardware you need to set up (and secure!) your network.
When you have remote staff members, your IT department will need some means of reaching them in case something goes wrong with their PCs or software. Eligible organizations can request donated versions of Citrix's remote access programs:

No "virtual volunteers" - only real ones!
Anyway.... I like using Skype chat, Skype audio conferencing, and instant messaging that I can view through Adium, to stay in touch with online volunteers I'm working with, as well as good old-fashioned email. What I like about Skype chat or instant messaging through Adium is that they can see when I'm online, and know I'll answer a DM.
Facebook hasn't been a good tool for me in working with online volunteers, because it's not just about their work - it's about their dog and what they are having for dinner and their kids and on and on - and while it's nice to know a bit more about remote volunteers, on a personal level, work-related messages get lost in all that social clutter.
Wikispaces used to be a really important tool for me for online collaboration with remote staff, but now that they are charging, I'm looking for free alternatives. Same with YahooGroups - it used to be my very favorite online collaboration tool, but now that the discussions are threaded and the interface is so hard to use, I'm now looking for alternatives.
All great suggestions! I've used many of these myself. Telecommute can be rough if you miss the office environment after awhile, but those teleconferencing tools are all great way to stay connected. Thanks GInny!
In addition to above mentioned tools to work remotely, you may also try other alternatives like on premise R-HUB web conferencing and remote support servers. It provides 6 real time collaboration applications in one box.

This week we meet style queens Helen & Hannah who have just launched The Second Wardrobe, an online boutique to buy and sell pre-loved designer and high-end high street clothing, handbags, shoes & accessories.
What time did you wake up this morning?
Helen - 6.45am - quick cuppa in bed before Joshua shouts 'MUUUMMMM'
Hannah - Body - 6.45am. Mind - 7.30am.
What was your very first thought of the day?
Helen - Forming a mental to-do list in my head regarding our event on the 18th June
Hannah - I feel better! (Mastitis & children's cold for the bank holiday weekend)
What are your 3 essentials for getting up, out and at 'em?
Helen - Number one has to be coffee, an outfit that makes you feel good and some tinted moisturiser so I don't look so tired!
Hannah - Caffeine, a good plan and a good outfit.
Describe a typical morning.
Helen - Joshua has now started pre-school 3 mornings a week, which in terms of giving me time to get things done, has been a God send and he loves it...phew! On those mornings I'm either meeting clients, catching up on admin or arranging meetings with potential venues.
Hannah - At the moment, The Second Wardrobe tells us what needs to be done! We are a very young company and we have been totally overwhelmed with peoples enthusiasm, so it's keeping us on our toes. In a great way. I work on the photography & design side of things. So, if it's a typical day in that way, I will be photographing clothes in the studio or sat at my computer retouching photos, designing our material or website bits and pieces. With a baby on my lap.
Your perfect local lunch spot would be...
Helen - St Julians Club (where we are holding our first event), views are stunning and on a sunny day you can enjoy a dip in the pool.
Hannah - A picnic somewhere deep in the Weald.
The happiest moment in your day?
Helen - Hearing Joshua in the morning singing various songs...the latest favourite "round & round the garden like a teddy bear'. Always makes me smile.
Hannah - We have a boogie before lunch everyday and this makes us all very happy.
The hardest moment in your day?
Helen - An 'overwhelming moment' - on the amount of things that need doing due to the business being so new. Juggling that with the pangs of guilt - if I'm not playing with Joshua and on the laptop instead - can be hard.
Hannah - Brushing Arthur's teeth.
#1 tip for juggling work and family life?
Helen - When starting your own business you could simply work all day and night, there is always something to do. I try and make sure I have a few afternoons off in the week that I can enjoy quality time with Joshua and do something fun.
Hannah - There is time for it all. Just be patient.
Most overused word of the day?
Helen - My business partner might say I use "Hannah" quite a lot. I think she was secretly pleased I went on holiday last week!
Hannah - Right… RIGHT.
Once the kids are in bed I...
Helen - Work, work, work - either price researching into items I've collected or uploading listings behind the scenes to our online boutique.
Hannah - Am straight up to my office.
Top 3 local gems?
Helen - Knole Park in Sevenoaks (beautiful space on our doorstep), The Chaser Inn in Shipbourne, (wonderful food), Ightham Mote (Joshua loves to splash in the stream there in his wellies)
Hannah - With our husbands we have just discovered Twenty Six (amazing). Great Comp Gardens for a cup of tea with the kids (makes you wish you were looking for a wedding venue). Riverhill Himalayan Garden (I love a view).
Best piece of advice for fellow Mum's...
Helen - If you have an idea for a business that simply won't leave you then go for it. You will be amazed what you can achieve if you are doing something you love.
Hannah - I tell myself everyday - I can only do what I can do. And Helen is teaching me to be organised (slowly) which is really doing wonders.

The idea that walls -- any architecture that a model walks in tandem with -- can be interactive to the body and integral to the show is what I set out to research. Here are a few ideas:
With a set perhaps such as this -- with a "wall" or cylinder in the middle of the set -- or with models walking along a wall around the perimeter of a show wall
What would be an effective and beautiful way to capture a model's walk? What would be a poetic visual to have a model "wipe" away the set to a reveal?
The prototype in this video shows how a model can leave a trail (in this case, flowers) that are interactive with her walk.
In addition, a model walking by can reveal an image underneath:
As the model passes by, with the use of a HoloMirage screen, an inner set, narrative, world can be revealed. The HoloMirage is a transparent rear projection screen that captures light to resemble a hologram. This concept can display actors moving inside of an interior set, a video screen with interior animations or other image moving.
In addition, a model walking by a pattern, a design of numbers or characters, can create an experience:
Using background subtraction and a depth camera, passing by a solid image -- the model can create a wave or move a piece of cloth to create an ethereal visual:
With projection mapping, and a HoloMirage display, this cloth effect can make some pretty interesting effects:

Hull Pics/
This is my first Saturday off for a few weeks, so we drove up town and had lunch at McCoys. New students, if you are looking for somewhere nice in the city centre to take mum and dad when they come and see you, well worth a visit. Great coffee and much more Hull authentic than Starbucks or Costa (although we've got those too).
My advice, try the Beef and Stilton sandwich. Number one wife likes the Tuna on noodles. And number one son pronounces the coffee as good, which means it must be great.
And I had time to take the camera, plus fat lens, around the waterfront.

Career statistics can be created from one or more Single Season team worksheets. This is accomplished by using the File / Import Stats command with a team worksheet configured in Multi-Season Mode. Individual game-by-game stats from each file are combined into season statistics for each season.
Batting Leaders can be generated as well as a web site for the career stats. This web site can be linked back to the main team web site.
The importer will test for possible duplicate player name entries during the import process. This might occur if a player was in the active roster in one season and in the expansion roster in another season. These instances will be marked and reported at the completion of the import process.
Additional commands in the Player menu facilitate common maintenance issues that can arise from creating career stats. Commands applicable only in Single Season mode are not available.
A Multi-Season Mode team worksheet can also import other Multi-Season Mode team worksheets. In this example, separate game stats for the 2012 regular season, playoffs and tournaments are kept in separate Single Season team worksheets and then collated into composite 2012 season stats. The 2012 season stats are then merged with other seasons to create the career stats.

In July, my sister started applying to jobs down in the Atlanta suburbs and was getting a lot of interest so we decided to take a girls only road trip down there to figure out if she could actually see herself living there. I won't lie, I didn't have a good opinion of Atlanta, I have never been there but I just thought the whole area was full of crime, bad weather and nothing to do. Turns out, it's actually an amazing place. Not only did my sister fall in love with the northern suburbs of Atlanta, but so did I. I fell really in love with it.
My sister is the type to up and move anywhere, while she is reserved and quiet, she is also fearless when it comes to uprooting her life. She has lived in Boise, Idaho; Radford, Virginia; Katy, Texas and is now back home teaching in Falls Church, Virginia while actively looking for her next move. While Georgia didn't work out for this year as the timing just didn't line up perfectly, her plan is to start applying again in the spring.
My point in bringing her story up is that it got me thinking that I've never really left home. I spent my first two years of college at West Virginia University but transferred to a local university about 30 minutes from where I grew up for the last two. Following graduation, I got a job in the area and have been here ever since. So I have spent the better part of my 28 years on this earth in a D.C. suburb. While it has a lot of wonderful aspects, you could say I've pretty much done and experienced just about everything this area has to offer.
Cary has lived all over and frankly I don't think he is really that comfortable staying in one place for too long. When we were down in Atlanta I called him and told him I wanted to move there; I didn't even need to give him reasons as to why he said "okay, let's move!" That same day he asked his boss what the options of working remotely would be. Well, he's more than proved himself and they told him it wouldn't be much of an issue. Back before Teagan, we wrestled with the idea of moving to another state but the reality is both of us would have had to find new jobs and it just felt overwhelming at that point in time.
The only roadblock now you might ask? We own our home. And while putting it on the market and selling it seems like a no brainer, we've only lived here a little over a year and a half and we would just break even on it. The prices on homes in our neighborhood seem to go up every year and it just seems like a bad decision to let go of this asset.
The other thing we have been considering is renting out our home. Being a landlord literally makes me want to die. It sounds just awful because you hear horror stories but then I think of all of my close friends that were at one point renters and they took care of the places they lived as if it were their own home. I would just hope and pray we find people that have that same appreciation and respect. Since we aren't moving for a job and solely based on wanting to live somewhere new, it would be nice to have a house to return to if it isn't everything we hoped and dreamed it would be.
I would, of course, miss my friends and family terribly but technology is amazing and my parents love to travel but we both feel like there would be so many positives that come of it.
- We currently live in one of the most expensive counties in the country so getting a bigger home down the line or taking awesome vacations would mean I would likely have to go back to work. Sure, we could move further out into the country but then you are still far from your friends and family and everything else for that matter. No thank you. I'm a suburbs kind of gal, not a country kind of gal.
- I think growth happens when you put yourself into new, uncomfortable situations. While I am learning and growing in all sorts of ways daily, this is a different sort of growth and progress I am seeking.
- Exploring an entirely new state and city just seems so exciting and even more exciting when I think about taking that adventure with my two favorite humans.
- When I think of my life here in Virginia long term, I can see exactly where we are going. There was a point in my life where I valued the feeling of security in the day to day but I think now I see that sometimes the uncertainty in life is what is truly beautiful.
Before Teagan, Cary and I used to travel a lot. We've been to so many countries, cities and states together and we always said the best use of money was to see the world. Well, life is a little different now but my biggest fear is looking back in 20 years and thinking I never took any risks in life that took me out of my comfort zone and on new adventures after I had a family.
"Embrace uncertainty.
Some of the most beautiful chapters in our lives won't have a title until much later."
-Bob Goff
So where does that leave us and what's our plan? With the prime selling and renting season coming to a close we will continue to think, plan and pray over this situation. As of today, the plan is to put our house up in the April/ May timeframe and continue to learn more about the areas of Atlanta that might be best for our family.
Has anyone contemplated or made a big family move? Any advice? Any amazing areas of northern Atlanta that you'd recommend? I loved Alpharetta and Roswell but ready to get back down there and explore more!

Zombie Apocalypse (2011)
22nd Jan 13
Ving Rhames and a bunch of other low paid actors enter the zombie apocalypse, Asylum studio style.
Theres been a zombie outbreak (its all over the news so it must be true) and three unlikely friends have been holed up at a cabin in the hills. They decide to come down to the town, to get supplies. When they arrive the place seems deserted, so Ramona keeps watch while Billy and Kevin look for supplies. She spots a zombie guys
and then she spots another zombie Guys! and theyre quickly over run. While Ramona screams Kevin, fumbling around badly with a shotgun, gets a chunk bitten out of his arm and Billys fate looks to be going to be going the same way until, what do you know, Ving Rhames suddenly turns up with his gang of survivors to save the day. His gang consist of, amongst others, a level headed military style guy, a young wise-cracking guy and a very hot Asian-American chick with knee high white boots and a white samurai sword like the one from Highlander. Before you can shout Left 4 Dead!, Kevin dies of his wound, turns (his eyes go all CGI white) and Ving Rhames has to finish him off, thus explaining the bite rules to Ramona and the audience. Here we go again.
The rest of the movie is very standard zombie stuff. The rules are explained clearly (shoot them in the head, dont get bitten or youll turn and, intriguingly, watch the fresh zombies as the recently re-animated run a lot faster then their long dead counterparts), everyone grabs the nearest blunt implement and its slow chatty bit followed by a bit of zombie bashing all the way. Vings group had previously met another group who talked of the island of Catalina where theres apparently no zombies so the ultimate goal is to get to the docks where a boat apparently comes once a week to collect survivors, although along the way the group seem to keep finding zombies with arrows sticking out of their eyes. Its no surprise when they finally meet and join with a group who were at an archery class when the outbreak started, which proves to be a handy way to replenish the cast, replacing characters lost in random zombie attacks along the way.
As soon as you hear that Zombie Apocalypse is an Asylum picture straight for the SyFy channel, youre probably already filled with dread, but surprisingly Zombie Apocalypse is a very watchable affair because, like all the best bad zombie films, when its good its good, and when its bad its quite funny. Take the opening zombie attack Ramona screaming pathetically is quite amusing as Kevin shows us why you should never give a shotgun to someone called Kevin. When Ving Rhames and the oriental chick show up you cant help but cheer, but did you notice for all the slicing and smashing theyre doing they never get any blood on their weapons? Thats not to say theres no blood, theres lots, but it all smells of post-production CG, which is a bit of a shame. The other CG thing they do at the start which is quite shocking is theres a shot of a zombie taking one in the head, but the zombie is clearly CG superimposed over a background shot of zombies running, but from the slightly the wrong angle, making it look a bit rushed and cheap and shit. Yes, its that kind of movie the kind where they shoot massive guns but the ammo belt doesnt feed, and you can occasionally spot random people walking around in the background not completely out of shot. The kind where a character dies one minute and everyones devastated even though theyve only just met, then the next a character that has known others for years goes and no one seems to bat an eyelid. Its that sort of thing.
But despite the grumbles, Zombie Apocalypse is very watchable. The video game Left 4 Dead and the recent excellent zombie TV Series The Walking Dead are they key rip off sources here and thats not a bad thing. Asylum appreciate that the way to engage a zombie audience is to keep the pace up, sprinkle zombie attacks throughout the movie, have a bunch of stereotyped characters that fight amongst themselves as much as the zombies, and have somewhere for them to go so theyre not wandering around aimlessly. Lose characters regularly to keep the viewers on their toes, add new ones, and have a big final fight at the end. Whoever thought itd be a good idea to have the final fight against a dodgy CGI zombie tiger though needs to have their head examined. What were they thinking?
This movie does have its moments though. The zombies with arrows sticking out of their eyes are a nice touch, and the archery crew are good fun when they arrive, especially the leader who initially doesnt want to merge groups, arguing that he doesnt know if the main group can handle themselves, so doesnt want to risk putting any of his people in jeopardy. Ving Rhames is amusing too, painting by numbers his way through the whole movie with very few lines, except for those he shares with the hot asian chick, whos convinced shell meet up with her husband on Catalina. Taryn Manning is quite irritating as the female lead that one minute is hiding in the toilet, the next is having a go at the rest of the group for letting another member get overcome by zombies while she was in said toilet. Its a bit silly. And yes, she does have a whiny voice and weird wobbly botoxed lips.
So, for an Asylum produced straight to SyFy zombie flick, its not a bad movie at all, if you know what youre getting. Its the kind of movie that, as a respectable lover of film, you know is pointless shit and you shouldnt be watching it. But as a hardened zombie fan, theres no way youre reaching for the off button in any hurry. Guilty pleasure? Yes, and why not.

While some of us have a naturally beautiful complexion, most people have to put great effort in accomplishing it. Especially when seasons change, our skin seems to suffer more than it usually does. External factors are unusually harsh during this period, and you want to make sure you maintain a healthy complexion regardless of these factors. Fortunately, some products are developed to help us preserve a healthy appearance and feel to our skin. We are talking about both skincare products and make up products. Some of them, like Mineralsminke, do have great properties in terms of complexion improvement, acting like a derma cosmetic product. But let's see what essentials should not miss from a women's makeup bag this spring.
Mineral face bases – the first line of defence against a harsh environment is a good mineral base and makeup developers perfected them in order to obtain the best results in terms of makeup products. Females around the world reported that by using such products their complexion improved significantly. But let's see how this type of products act on the face. First of all, they provide a great sun protection. If you also pair them with a base with a generous SPF, they help dry skin more against harsh sunrays. Second, this type of makeup is perfect for acne-prone skin. Women reported a better-looking skin only after a few uses of this kind of makeup. Fact is, all its ingredients don't irritate the skin and don't clog the pores. Clogged pores cause further rashes and breakouts. The best way to prevent them is by using friendly products for your particular type of skin, for example flytende mineralsminke. Third, mineral face makeup is great for sensitive skin. It allows the skin to breathe properly and it does not act like a facemask like regular makeup products do.
Also, in terms of qualitative mineral makeup, it has more resilience on face, this making it perfect for long wear conditions. Oftentimes used by makeup artists, it is the perfect option if you look forward to skip reapplying it during the day. Fact is its composition allows wearing it for prolonged hours, even up to fourteen. It creates a smooth base for applying the powder, contour and blush, and as a result, it increases their resilience as well. However, highly relevant is how you apply your mineral foundation. Specialists recommend applying it over a primer with similar characteristics.
Worth mentioning is that mineral makeup provides higher levels of coverage, being the go-to alternative for women suffering from skin issues such as rosacea, scarring and acne. Regular makeup foundations have in their composition a bulking agent combined with talc, which makes them heavier on the face. Although they feel heavier, they offer a smaller degree of coverage, and this comes as a significant downside for women trying to mask certain imperfections. However, reputable makeup retailers like Cosmedic have a large diversity of products, and their collection includes some of the best mineral makeup collections.

Microsoft seems to be fulfilling it's promise to integrate linkedin with office 365 and slowly moving towards the integration step by step. Last week Microsoft integrated linkedin with outlook.com and enabled users to see the linkedin profile of any user right inside the inbox clicking the name of any user.
Moving further Microsoft is unveiling resume assistant today that is basically a resume builder powered by linkedin data of the user. This resume assistant will help you to import data from linkedin profile like company informations, profile information etc into word document. The algorithm and Artificial intelligence will also help you with wordings and other items to help fill out your experience.
The feature will be live on Thursday for Office 365 subscribers on PC and then more widely to other Word users in future months
Linkedin is a social networking used for professional networking, founded in 2002, available on all the platforms including web and mobile devices. It is having 500 million members across 200 countries with 106 million active users. Microsoft acquired linkedin in 2016 worth $26.2 billion.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, in September, demonstrated the integration of linkedin with Microsoft apps for commercial Office 365 subscribers in Microsoft Ignite conference. Since then, company is moving towards the target of each and every product one by one. First outlook and then word are examples that shows how Microsoft is committed towards the user friendliness and compatibility between its products.
For example, once you begin to enter information, the assistant will suggest "insights from millions of member profiles so you can see diverse examples of how professionals in that role describe their work," notes Kylan Nieh, a product manager at LinkedIn who worked on the integration. The same will apply for what kinds of skills you can describe yourself as having: you'll get suggestions for these based on skills "other successful professionals in your desired role and industry have, so you can add them if applicable."
The resume assistant will also surface top skills that might be needed, and even job listings to find exactly what employers might be searching resumes for. It's easy to see most of this information on LinkedIn already, but having it directly in Word where you'd probably writing a resume is a lot more convenient.

Mentioned in the 1086 Domesday Book, Lyme developed into a major port by the 13th century. The addition of Regis to the town name was due to Royal Charter granted by King Edward in 1284, and was later confirmed by Queen Elizabeth I in 1591. The development of Lyme as a major port and shipbuilding centre was mainly because the artificial harbour, known as the Cobb, acted as a protection from storms.
Existing since at least 1313, the earliest construction consisted of an infilling of large boulders held in place by oak piles driven into the sea bed, in a basic shape similar to how it is now. The Cobb at that time was not connected to the mainland however, and it wasn't until 1756 that a causeway was built. The present walls date from 1824, when it was rebuilt after being breached by storms.
In the photo above can be seen the 'Gin Shop' set into the wall with steps either side. A former ammunition store holding the ball and powder for the cannon which were used to defend the Cobb, it's name derives from the hoist lift which was once set above the store.
There was at one time a cement factory further west along the beach, and the old wooden posts set into the sand in this corner of the harbour are the remains of a horse-drawn truck railway that ran between the two, presumably for loading on and off the ships.
The High Wall continues out into the bay behind the central Cobb buildings. The wall once extended further out but was lost during the severe storms and was never rebuilt. However, the foundations can still be seen at low tide.
The buildings date from around 1723 and have variously been used as a warehouse, an isolation hospital and a yacht club. They are now used partly for fishermen's stores and the Marine Aquarium.
Two wonderful connections with the Cobb involve literary characters by the well known authors Jane Austen and John Fowles. Jane Austen visited Lyme and set part of her book 'Persuasion' here, taking many local names for the names of her characters. One of her heroines, Louisa Musgrove, insisted on being 'jumped down' from the Cobb steps by one of the heroes. Wanting a second 'go', she ran back up the steps and jumped before he was ready, falling badly in the process, whereupon she was 'taken up lifeless' to a nearby house to recover.
John Fowles's character was the melancholic and enigmatic Sarah Woodruff from 'The French Lieutenant's Woman', who often stood at the end of the Cobb staring out to sea, supposedly mourning the loss of her French lover who left and disgraced her. The film of the same name was set in Lyme and the Cobb was used as well as the Undercliff which runs between Lyme Regis and Axmouth.
There is so much history attached to the Cobb, that I've only put in the few snippets that I find personally interesting. The photos were taken at various times. The b&w pics were shot circa 1992, when I was braver then than now, and was able to walk along the wall. The blue ones were taken in 2009. The prints came out garish and almost unscannable, but when I obtained a neg scanner I found that the negatives were mostly cyan and that the printer had added the colours during printing. I stopped using that printer afterwards, although I must admit I love the effect of these particular photos. And there are also a few decent colour photos which I took in early 2011.
Outside the Marine Aquarium sits this wonderful piece of driftwood upon a crab pot. Queue the music to the film 'Jaws'...
Finally, an overall view below. I'll see if I can explain it.
On the right the Cobb swerves out from the mainland. The High Wall is carried on the right side of that and continues in a lazy S shape out into the bay, affording wonderful views for those who wish to tread the footsteps of the 'French Lieutenant's Woman'. The central piece contains buildings which now hosts the Marine Aquarium, the left arm of which is the Victoria Pier used by fishing boats and anglers. The left side is the North Wall with a gap between the sea end and the rest of the Cobb (called Crab Head), enabling boats to navigate in and out of the harbour.
More photos can be viewed in the Photo Gallery along with these.
