text: It is with sadness, disappointment and outrage that I read and listened to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's recent comments to a reporter from the Virginia newspaper, the Daily Press. Wright, the former pastor of Trinity UCC Church in Chicago and President Obama's pastor until Wright's incendiary comments during the presidential campaign caused Obama to break the relationship, was asked if he has spoken to the President lately. He responded, "Them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me." He later said that he meant to say "Zionists." Either way the Antisemitism from the mouth of a UCC pastor is appalling. I have sent the following in an email to the President and Minister of the UCC, The Rev. John Thomas.

Memorial Day is a solemn occasion to remember the fallen who have given our nation the ultimate price that can be paid — their very lives — for our country, and in the name of democracy. While we mark the day with outdoor barbeques and get-togethers with family and friends, we should try to take a moment to remember the real purpose of this day.
I give thanks for the hundreds of thousands of fallen men and women who have served in our armed forces. It is but for their sacrifice that we enjoy living in this country of immigrants, who helped free Europe from the evil terror of the Nazi regime, and who helped find a way to balance the Soviet Union's naked aggression after WWII.
In memory of all of those who have given their lives to help keep our country free, you are remembered and honored for your courage, loyalty and bravery in service to our country.

Food - Buffet
Hilton stuff is not very pleased to have guests at their property obviously, since they are not willing to make their stay comfortable. Every time you ask something they answering "I think, maybe"...
Hot lips dorothy the receptionist found remote to tv for me so i can see all hot movies also showed me where the theatres painted blue are the staff went beyond the line of duty to give a fantastic warm welcome and feeling while i stayed there very antique furniture in room
The furniture in room
The building is in desperate need for renovation. My bathroom was falling apart. The message that Hilton is sending is quite obvious. Eventually they will close down this property, no longer interested to invest. Understandable perhaps from a financial point of view, question is to what extent it does damage to the Hilton brand. Takes decades to build up a brand but just a few incidents to ruin it.
central location and good facilities
mini bar fridge is just a cooler and works at room temperature. I prefer a proper fridge with ice cold drinks
The hosekibing
Thay tray to get money for any think.
Location is ideal.
Room is old. Fridge was hardly working. Batthroom need to be upgraded.
location and staff were good. Standard of decor/ building not as good as I expected. Almost as if Africa has been forgotten
menu was internationally themed. I ordered from the American menu- southern fried chicken with wedges corn on the cob and peas, what I got was chicken in breadcrumbs with no spice or flavour , mashed potatoes and cauliflower! I sent it back and got the wedges but the meal was so bland albeit edible. Spoke to manager who listened I just hope he takes on board the comments!
Perfect spot for staying in Niarobi, which is a great place for a visit.
Courteous staff. Ruth (Front Desk) was simply amazing, she attended to all our needs. From time of breakfast at the Travellers's restaurant to the security guys, to house-keeping; all were marvellous. Even got a late check-out at no additional cost cos of flight re-schedule.
Can't remember any.
Good location, nice room, very clean, staff is very nice and helpful! Makes you feel welcome and well taken care of
The location and food
Staff attitude at reception Is bad. They want to control guests as if it is a boarding school for teens. The rooms are old and need urgent renovations if it has to live to its name of Hilton. I have enjoyed hotel hotels elsewhere this one is below par
I like everything about Hilton thank you,hope to come again soon
- Great location, iconic building - Good, friendly staff. Great concierge. - Lolna at the front desk is brilliant. - Great stopover between the game safari's and parks. - Recommend it as a base for Kenya holidays
- A bit dated and ready for a makeover.
Good customer service. Staff is always helpful. Room is clean. Central location. Good security.
Outside the hotel is not safe to walk around, so many touts approaching. Hotel interior is worn out, needs upgrades. Wi-Fi and internet facility is not included.
Location is central , easy to take a walk and quite a number of attractions close by. Coffee , snacks all close by and in the hotel . Staff really helpful , just confirm all prices before hand and check goods. General fir Nairobi really
Constant haggling over everything , hotel wAs a haven away from that .
This is an hotel and needs to be upgraded to a proper standard
Staff Provided us a free map of Nairobi city Location
No wifi in room - only by the pool and lobby
The staff and service was over and beyond, the staff food room's were all exultant I will recommend this hotel to anyone in fact I will be writing to the Hilton Hotel groups head office to congratulate them on the running of this hotel
I never like anything from this hotel
Very worst hotel I ever stayed
Staff were friendly and courteous. Room service was very good. Bed for 2 was small. A king size bed will be great.
Great staff and great location as there are no other well priced Western hotels in the Area.
Poor facilities, the hotel is definitely due for a renovation and charging 22USD a day for Wifi is very poor service for a 5 star hotel. When will hotels understand that Wifi is supposed to free for guests!!!?

This 15 year old robust gelding is a favorite among many guests. Cody is a "classic" dude horse. He is a beautifully colored brown and white paint with a personality sure to leave an impression. He is short, stout, and a powerhouse at the Bar W. From chasing cows to long trail rides to teaching beginner riders, Cody does it all.
Cody was one of the first horses to arrive at the Bar W. Cleverly named after the owner's uncle, Earnest Cody. Cody is a favorite around the ranch and is the General Manager's favorite pick for his ideal height. He is always the first horse to greet the guests and he usually shares a friendly nicker as you walk by. You'll either meet Cody on the trail, in the pasture, or in the orientation speech as he helps the General Manager teach guests about horse safety.

This Ensalada de Pavo y Nopalitos (Turkey and Cactus Paddle Salad) is a simple and satisfying meal. A longstanding staple in the Mexican kitchen, nopalitos provide color and texture to classic Mexican dishes. Here, they're combined with Oscar Mayer Roast Turkey Breast for a packable, portable salad that is easy, healthy, and delicious.
The grill is hot, but you've already made burgers and hotdogs every which way. Time to dazzle the family with something different. Here, Lucero Martinez, chef de cuisine at Pampano, a coastal Mexican seafood restaurant in New York, shares her recipe for one of her favorite summer dishes.
NOPALITOS (cactus leaves) SALAD with GRILLED SHRIMP
1 jar of nopalitos (available at any Hispanic grocery store)
1 pint of cherry tomatoes cut in fourths
The weather right now is stifling in most parts of Eastern U.S., which, for me, means eating and drinking chilly offerings. Hot main entrees are okay; but adding a room temperature or chilled dish will cool down the collective heat. This summer salad fits the bill perfectly.
This crisp and easy-to-make salad is a palate pleaser.

NRBC Expands Show Schedule for 2007 National Reining Breeders Classic
Not only will the 2007 National Reining Breeders Classic mark the Tenth Anniversary Show, it will also be the first year for the show to expand to seven days. The 2007 show is slated for April 16-22 at the Great Southwest Equestrian Center in Katy, Texas.
According to NRBC President Tom McCutcheon, a day of showing was added to the NRBC to accommodate the growth the event has seen over recent years. "We decided to add a day so that we could handle the increased number of entries and still offer adequate time in the arena for exhibitors," he noted.
Cheryl Magoteaux, NRBC Secretary/Treasurer added, "The NRBC is known for having a schedule that accommodates exhibitors and we had gotten stretched to the limit trying to fit everything in. Beginning the show on Monday instead of Tuesday will allow us to retain the very important ambience of this show! We'll start paid warm-ups a day earlier as well, to allow everyone an opportunity for arena time."
She noted that the schedule for the event was still being finalized but would be released soon.
Magoteaux and McCutcheon were also enthusiastic about construction changes coming to the Great Southwest Equestrian Center. Magoteaux explained, "The Great Southwest will have a new arena adjacent to the Coliseum arena in time for our 2007 show. That will replace the Mansion arena and having the two competition arenas side-by-side will make showing and stalling easier and more convenient for exhibitors."
The National Reining Breeders Classic is the most successful stallion incentive program in reining history. In just nine years, the NRBC has grown to include nearly 300 subscribed stallions and over 16,000 enrolled foals. For information on the NRBC, visit the web site at www.nrbc.com or call 580-759-3939.

didn't know if this would have fit in the disneyland section.
so during my nutrition class we were talking about if you want to lose weight you gotta exercise 90 minutes a day 5 days a week for some actual results. it got me thinking, if a person that lives near disneyland enough to go once a week, and they wanted to lose weight or get in shape of some sort, wouldn't it be more fun to walk around disneyland for a few hours rather than walking on a boring treadmill?
at my local gym it costs $30 a months for membership. times that by 12 and overall it's $360. a deluxe pass is $299! so driving to the parking lot, walking to the tram, then walking from the tram to the park, walking around the park and riding some rides, hit the fruit stand, walk back to tram, then walk back to car and head home.
now i don't know about you, but to me, walking around disneyland for a few hours sounds a lot better than walking on a treadmill.
just a little something that went through my mind, cause we all know we zone out in class sometimes?

Useless Plasticbox 1.2 —
That was the name of the faux merchandise that artist Plastic Jesus placed in Los Angeles-area Best Buy stores last week. He priced it at $99.99.
It took a couple of days for the Best Buy staff to realize the Useless Plasticboxes were there, and then they were removed. I wonder where they are now? (I checked eBay, but they weren't there yet.)

The New York Department of State recently ruled that it's illegal to use corporate honorifics if you're not actually part of a corporation. Sounds logical, unless you're a real estate agent. Because it's long been the practice for real estate agents to use fancy titles like "Senior Executive Vice President" or "Managing Director," even though technically they work as independent contractors for firms. They're not on the staff.
Now all their business cards have to go in the shredder, or…

Another million-dollar art fraud —
Never fails to amaze that there are super-rich people out there willing to shell out millions of dollars for "newly discovered" works by famous artists, even when the providence is so shaky. In this case, they were told the paintings came from an anonymous private collector referred to as "Secret Santa" or "Mr. X."
Of course, now the artwork of Pei-Shen Qian, who's alleged to be the actual painter, should go up dramatically in value.

It's true that a South American pacu, sporting "big crushing teeth," was caught recently off the coast of Denmark. But Professor Peter Rask Moller said he was only joking when he warned that these fish often attack male reproductive organs, mistaking them for tree nuts, and he regrets that the news release featuring his warning generated such concern.
The reality is that pacus are vegetarian and there's no record of them attacking a human. But maybe Prof. Moller was only kinda joking,…

The "Mirro Dress" for "fatso figures" was one of a number of unusual items that Kaufmann's Department Store included in an ad that it ran in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on April 1, 1949.

A reader points up north:
Your watchful eye on the metastasizing world of advertorials and so-called "native ads" is an essential counterpoint to what's becoming an alarming trend, even outside of US borders. Case in point: a series of unmarked oil industry advertorials that recently made it to print in newspapers owned by Canada's right-leaning Postmedia. Hawk-eyed readers were able to connect the dots and alerted Advertising Standards Canada (whose webpage is emblazoned with the motto "Truth in Advertising Matters"). After a review, the organization decided not to issue a ruling.
An increasingly desperate oil sands industry is pulling out all the stops to curry public favour with Keystone on wobbly ground and the Northern Gateway pipeline being met with fierce public opposition. It's discouraging to find that all too many media organizations are willing to undermine the tireless work of their reporters with deceptive advertising practices.
A Canadian economist, Robyn Allan, tried to write a rebuttal to a piece about the oil industry that she read in a Postmedia newspaper:
[She] took issue with the economic claim [that Canada is losing $50-million a day due to limited export markets]. When she submitted an opinion piece in response, she was informed it couldn't be run because the article she was responding to was actually a paid advertisement.
It wasn't labeled as such; yet, as our reader noted, Advertising Standards Canada declined to censure Postmedia, which owns nearly every broadsheet daily in the country. Then it happened again – another paid pro-oil-industry piece not labeled as such. It gets better:

Full text not available from this repository.
Glomerular cysts can exist in the context of several different kidney diseases. Advances in the last few years have begun to unravel the genetic bases and pathogenesis of some of these entities, many of which have an origin in abnormal development. In this review, we highlight recent insights into three types of disease associated with glomerular cysts: (1) mutations of the hepatocyte nuclear factor 1beta (HNF-1beta)in the recently described renal cysts and diabetes syndrome, (2) mutations of OFD1in the oral facial digital syndrome type 1 and (3) the role of fetal urinary tract obstruction.

Actually I'm not being
Actually I'm not being ignorant. I'm not the one saying that I am going to New Hampshire with a horde of other people to install the government that I think the rest of the people -who by the way have the government they want- should have. That is being ignorant.
While pointing out the errors I percieve in ones actions vs their espoused ideology may be construed as sticking my nose where it doesn't belong, I am only doing it because I believe you should follow my dictates -therefore it is okay for me to do it. Also, while I am a greater friend to your cause then you may think, if you think that I am bad, wait and see if the FSP actually starts getting a bigger head of steam behind it; you will have people knit picking over every little thing. You all should be thanking me for giving you some practice defending your actions. :)
As for the founders, they never took over an actual colony first; they went straight to the head of the beast -which in this case would be Washington D.C. That being said, it did help that they had Pennsylvania at the time to go to -which was practically its own State rather than a Colony.

Should The Gourmet Butcher produce a deer butchering DVD?
Here is an easier way to blanche vegetables, such as green beans, before freezing them.
Wide-mouth funnel design super-stuffs bags and cans in less than a minute.
Here is how our family plays this entertaining, multigenerational backyard game:
The goal is to rack up points by either throwing the bag into the hole (3 points) or by landing the bag on the 2-by-3-foot platform (1 point). Any bean bag that slides off the platform is not counted.
The bean bag toss should be set up on a relatively flat area, with a pair of game platforms set 25 feet apart from the front of one platform to the front of the other platform. The bean bag pitcher should not step beyond the front of the platform "setback line" when he or she is pitching.
Either two (singles) or four (doubles) players can play. The first player or team to reach 24 points is the winner. When one side reaches 12 points, the players can switch sides to give everyone the same advantage (in case of sun exposure or sloping surfaces, etc.).

FBI Accused of Planting OpenBSD Backdoors 10 Years Ago
FBI Accused of Planting OpenBSD Backdoors 10 Years Ago
Brian Prince
Posted 2010-12-15
A former contractor accused the FBI of planting backdoors and side-channel key leaking mechanisms into the OpenBSD Cryptographic Framework 10 years ago.
An e-mail touched off a bit of a firestorm when a former government contractor alleged the FBI put backdoors and side-channel key leak mechanisms in the OpenBSD Cryptographic Framework some 10 years ago. The e-mail, which was
posted online here
by OpenBSD founder Theo de Raadt, came from Gregory Perry, who is now CEO of GoVirtual Education.
"If you will recall, a while back I was the CTO at NETSEC and arranged funding and donations for the OpenBSD Crypto Framework," Perry wrote in the Dec. 11 e-mail to de Raadt. "At that same time I also did some consulting for the FBI, for their GSA Technical Support Center, which was a cryptologic reverse engineering project aimed at backdooring and implementing key escrow mechanisms for smart card and other hardware-based computing technologies."
Stating that his non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with the FBI had ended, he told de Raadt the law enforcement agency had "
implemented a number of backdoors
and side channel key leaking mechanisms into the OCF, for the express purpose of monitoring the site to site VPN encryption system implemented by EOUSA, the parent organization to the FBI." In an e-mail to eWEEK today, Perry wrote that the OCF was a "target for side channel key leaking mechanisms, as well as pf (the stateful inspection packet filter), in addition to the gigabit Ethernet driver stack for the OpenBSD operating system; all of those projects NETSEC donated engineers and equipment for, including the first revision of the OCF hardware acceleration framework based on the HiFN line of crypto accelerators." "The project involved," he continued, "was the GSA Technical Support Center, a circa 1999 joint research and development project between the FBI and the NSA [National Security Agency]... We were tasked with proposing various methods used to reverse engineer smart card technologies, including Piranha techniques for stripping organic materials from smart cards and other embedded systems used for key material storage, so that the gates could be analyzed with Scanning Electron and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy. We also developed proposals for distributed brute force key cracking systems used for DES/3DES cryptanalysis, in addition to other methods for side channel leaking and covert backdoors in firmware-based systems."
Perry wrote that he left NETSEC in 2000 to start another venture and "had some fairly significant concerns with many aspects of these projects." He added that he was the lead architect for "the site-to-site VPN project developed for Executive Office for United States Attorneys, which was a statically keyed VPN system used at 235+ US Attorney locations and which later proved to have been backdoored by the FBI so that they could recover (potentially) grand jury information from various US Attorney sites across the United States and abroad." "After I left NETSEC, I ended up becoming the recipient of a FISA-sanctioned investigation, presumably so that I would not talk about those various projects; my NDA recently expired so I am free to talk about whatever," he wrote. In announcing the e-mail, de Raadt noted that since the first IPSEC stack was available for free, large parts of the code can be found in many projects and products. "Over 10 years, the IPSEC code has gone through many changes and fixes, so it is unclear what the true impact of these allegations are," he wrote. So far, there is mixed opinion
about Perry's accusations
. "Governments around the world would want this type of access due to the realities of economic espionage and traditional espionage evolving into cyberspace," said Tom Kellermann, vice president of security awareness at Core Security. "The Chinese have been utilizing this form of tradecraft for years." Still, Andrew Hay, an analyst with The 451 Group, said the ability to slip something malicious into the OpenBSD code is possible but unlikely due to the
possible political and social ramifications
of the backdoor being discovered. "As for those people leveraging the OCF in their own software I suspect that it would be quite difficult for them to audit the code for anomalies," he said. "Software engineers typically rely on the scrutiny provided by the Open Source community (not to mention the project handlers) to audit the shared libraries and code prior to its release. Unless the end-application owners have detailed knowledge of what to look for, or guidance from the OpenBSD team, these anomalies will likely be as difficult to detect as looking for a particular needle in a stack of needles."

FAMILY TABLE: 'Texas beer culture' ready to have its moment in the spotlight
What: Beer Dinner
When: 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 30
Where: The Concho Pearl Icehouse, 1605 S. Chadbourne St.
Cost: $49 per person, includes 5-course meal and beer
Contact: Call 325-617-7909 for reservations
The Concho Pearl Icehouse is ending April on a high note with its first beer dinner.
The concept is very similar to a wine dinner, except each course served is paired with a beer that complements it.
"We carry a lot of different craft beers," said Ashley Young-Turner, vice president of the Rio Restaurant Group that owns the Concho Pearl. "And we thought this would be a fun way to create awareness and exposure for the Texas beer culture on the local food scene."
It started with representatives of Blanco-based Real Ale Brewing Company visiting San Angelo and the Concho Pearl. "We worked backward from there and sat down and did an afternoon of beer tasting," said Young-Turner, who involved executive chef Roger Owen and bar manager Tanner Todd in the project.
"I really enjoy pulling flavors out of the different brews," Chef Owen said. "So we tasted beer until my palate got flowing."
They went through the lineup of Real Ale products and selected several different styles to give consumers an across-the-board sampling. Next they paired food with the selections based on the flavor profiles of the drinks.
The third course, an arugula-dandelion greens salad with roasted sunflower seeds and house vinaigrette, was inspired by spring and Real Ale's Hans Pilsner.
"The Hans Pils is a German-style pilsner. I find it mild, very approachable but with that underlying pilsner bitter note," said Young-Turner. "And we paired it with fresh seasonal greens with similar notes."
Beef tenderloin, a substantial protein, has been paired with a very robust brown ale. "The interesting twist will be the cherry demi-glace on the tenderloin," Turner-Young said. "It'll bring out the cherry notes in the ale."
One of the most interesting sounding items on the menu is the sweet finish — a handmade toasted coriander ice-cream. "Roger has been wanting to do handmade ice cream for a while and this was the perfect opportunity," Young-Turner said.
Chef Owen explained that hand-turned ice cream tended to be smoother and creamier. He is balancing the smokiness of the coriander with orange liqueur-infused chocolate. This will be paired with a Belgian-style Tripel, a golden beer with notes of citrus and spices like coriander and cloves.
"The menu should appeal to anyone who enjoys craft beers," Young-Turner said. If the first dinner goes well, she hopes to do more. "We are probably going to do them one beer-maker at a time and focus on their products," she said. "But we'll only chose those who we can stand behind."

Sometimes the best walks are in your own back yard. Took my trusty co-author Indie down to St Kilda beach on sunset last night to cool off after a stinking hot day, and before long, that fantastic Melbourne phenomenon, "the cool change", came blasting through with a vengeance: the temperature dropped 10 degree celsius in 10 minutes, and my legs were soon getting a good sand-blasting as the wind gusted from the west. Out of nowhere, rain started falling in curtains on the horizon and fierce storm clouds blew up, creating this bizarre and pretty wonderful 'double' sunset. Ain't life grand?

It's amazing what I find in the "drafts" section of my blog – I think I owe you this second day of my walk in the Italian Alps from about a year ago! Here's the link to Day 1 if you want to do something daft and read it chronologically!
So, I think to myself, Day 2 of the Dorsale walk has to be about going down, since so much of yesterday was about going up. Right? Perhaps I had forgotten that I had descended to 1100m to stay at the wonderful Alpetto di Torno last night. So a descent would be wishful thinking. First off, I had to head up through all those dairy cows, which were clanking away through the meadows with their bells (who would have thought they would be so noisy?!) and follow some old goat tracks up the valley sides to regain the main Dorsale track. Despite a few wrong turns, I got there eventually, and reached the high point of the walk, at 1560m, right beside the top of some old ski lifts and a wintering barn, at Alpe di Terra Biotta. From here, there's a one hour easy detour you can do to summit on Mont St Primo for 360 degree views across the entire Dorsale (triangle wedge) region, as well as a good look at the descent ahead.
After sucking up the view, finally, finally, you are rewarded by the down: flex those knees everyone! It's a gorgeous, and in places, steep descent, past astonishing wildflowers, more of those clanking dairy cows, and even clinking (think cow bells, but higher pitched!) goat herds. You even have to dodge a competitive mountain bike trail at one stage. As you drop from the mountains, and down into pasturelands, you start to wander past ruined stone farmhouses and cottage gardens, and to be honest, I just couldn't resist the Solo Walkers Indulgence: lying on my back in the grass of a wildflower meadow, in the sun, reading my book for an hour. Talk about a guilty pleasure! And OK, so it does mean I strolled down the old Mules Path and into gorgeous Bellagio rather late in the day, and a gelato never tasted so good, but the final insult was the flights of stone stairs UP through the village to reach my apartment. That was just someone's joke, I am sure.
I couldn't recommend this walk more as a way to get from A to B – while the lakeside villages were just teeming with people, as you might expect in June/July, I passed probably 8 or so people and about 5 mountain bikers for the full 2 days. It's a great, and relaxed walk for families and small groups too – just make sure you book ahead for the Refugio, as they only open to bookings.
I spent another 5 days lake-hopping around the various tiny lake towns, and spent another 2 days walking along the ancient and overgrown Roman Road which hangs on the rockface above the west side of Lake Como, winding in and out of villages, and saw no-one other than an equally ancient old photographer. I just love how even in the most popular tourist destinations, a pair of walking boots can find you peace in just a few long strides. Alternatively, if you get sick of all those hills, you can just grab one of these and cut direct across the lake on your bike!

There is something incredibly – er – timeless and ancient about wandering around Stonehenge in mid-winter, frost on the ground, icy mist clinging to your skin and a weak wintery sun teasing from just beyond the clouds. The kids and I dropped in late in the day on the way back from Devon to London in the new year, and if a band of druids had emerged from the mist instead of Chinese tourists, we would not have been surprised at all.
The last time I visited, about a million and two years ago, you just parked in a layby beside the road and headed in for a look-see. There are now plans to take the entire road underground so that the landscape is returned to what it would have been thousands of years ago when Stonehenge was first built. Now there is a most impressively and sensitively done visitors centre, 2km away, so it does not impose on the landscape. You can choose to walk the grassed pathways across the fields, much as the locals might have done 3000 years ago, and approach Stonehenge across the plains. Alternatively, you can cop out and jump in a very efficient (and very warm!) little bus which drops you about 200 metres from the stone circle. Along with your admission price comes a free audio guide which will help answer all those questions you have: "Where are the stones from?" (Some of them are from Wales); "How did they get here?" (rolling wood carts and possibly boat); "What was it for?" (They still can't say for sure, but possibilites are as a sun dial, place of worship and a proto-type MacDonalds drive-in – or not). Still partly unsolved, and all the more awe-inspiring for it.

It's New Year's Eve and am in the UK with the kids. Time for a lovely stroll with our extended English family today around the headland at Clevedon, near Bristol in the UK. After the cold, icy snow of the Christmas week while we were further north, the mild seaside weather (7C) today was practically tropical. Poets Walk starts from the seawall and takes you up, around and on top of the headland, with (murky – well, it is the middle of winter, after all!) views across the Bristol Channel and wider views across the mudflats and mouth of the River Yeo, which has the highest tidal fall in the UK. The walk back through the woodlands takes you under pretty arbours with cheeky little robins hopping about. It's a great and interesting short walk to do with kids.
The bonus about almost any short walk in the UK, is that it invariably ends up at a cosy pub, and being New Year's mulled cider was the order of the day. Not a bad way to see in the new year!

Well, hello after a VERY long time – I feel I owe you about a year of posts, as I have been travelling like a loon with work this year and haven't found the time to update you – this year has seen me in Mongolia, Viet Nam, Canada, Wales, Nepal and India – though regrettably, not out and about doing much walking, other than the gorgeous Ridgeway in England for my birthday in May. In the June holidays though, the kids and I decided it was road trip time and drove 4,500km across the Nullabor Desert to Perth. It was epic – in the genuine sense of the word. Where else can you drive dead straight for 90 miles (145km), and then they have to put a 6 degree bend in the road to account for the curvature of the earth???!!!! And along the way, the road doubles up as an airstrip for the Royal Flying Doctor Service?!
Anyway, we had a great trip, across our vast and beautiful land: the Great Australian Bight was full of humpback whales and their babes, lolling about just metres from the cliffs and the beauty and silence of the land was very healing for the busy, 21st Century soul.

Had a totally glorious family weekend up in the High Country last weekend – in perfect Autumn weather. The autumn leaves were just starting to turn in the beautiful mountain village of Bright, the night air was crisp and cool, and the daytime skies were blue, blue, blue! There is so much to do and see around there, even outside of the ski season, so it's really worth the 4 hour drive from Melbourne. Local produce stalls are very distracting, with walnut and chestnut farms, olive groves, and berry and hop farms on either side of The Great Alpine Road to delay your journey, not to mention the VERY tempting vineyards – we had a very indulgent Autumn degustation lunch at Gapstead Winery: think quail and slow roasted autumn fruits – yummmmmm! Our favourite roadside stall was selling roasted chocolate and chilli pumpkin seeds! Needless to say, our pantry is bulging!
The kids and I did some off-road 'adventure' segway-ing in the morning with Peter of Bright Segways, up and over rocky bush trails, through forestry trails and even over a swing bridge across the Ovens River. Who knew you could 4WD on a segway?! This is hands-down pretty fabulous family entertainment and a real crowd pleaser. What a hoot!
On our second day, we took in a very easy and picturesque 30km stretch of the 'Murray to the Mountains' Rail Trail which runs 106km from Wangaratta to Beechworth. The section we did was virtually flat, and the entire trail is sealed all the way, with short distances between towns, and a number of trail-side cafes catering to cyclists – so it's very family-friendly, and a more achievable option than riding your bike from the valley up to the top of Mount Buffalo, which seems to be a pretty popular – if masochistic – activity (it takes bout 2 hours of straight up – great training if you're planning on entering the Tour de France!). The section which we did (a far more leisurely 2 hours) takes you past beautiful pastures and farmland, much of which was originally sown to tobacco, and you frequently pass the old tin tobacco drying sheds. Today there are instead hanging hop gardens and all those lovely orchards and vineyards I mentioned. It helped us greatly that we had a willing aunt and uncle who assisted with the car shuttle, but you can also time your ride to coincide with a Victoria Rail Coach (yes, that's a bus masquerading as a train!), which purportedly will put your bikes in the luggage compartments below and get you back to your starting point – probably best to ring ahead and check.
On our way back to Melbourne, we detoured for the stunning, windy drive up Mt Buffalo – one of Victoria's first national parks and original skiing centres over 100 years ago. It's stunning granite outcrops and alpine plateau meadows are so dramatic and quite unusual in Victoria.
Mt Buffalo is the home of the Australian Alp's endangered Bogong moth, as well as the equally endangered historic Mt Buffalo Chalet, which is thankfully about to get a $7m refurbishment. There are also endless bushwalking options, including the aptly named 'Big Walk' up the mountain. But it's the short (1.6km) but very sweet clamber up Mt Buffalo's 'Horn' which tops everything off – literally – at 1,723 metres (5,653 feet). While the only-way-is-up, the walk is not hard and there are plenty of rocks and the occasional seat to lean against and catch your breath as your mountain-goat children leap blithely from boulder to boulder!
The view from the top was pretty special to be honest – 360 degree views across the Australian Alps, with Australia's highest peak, Mt Kosciousko in NSW, a very remote but visible presence. Despite the clear, calm weather, it was a chilly 10C at the top, even in the middle of the day, so I can imagine it is pretty hostile at times – road access to the Horn car park is closed in the winter months, when the whole plateau is often covered in snow.
The walk/climb to the top has recently been upgraded to make it safer and more accessible – steps are cut directly into the rock, or have been installed in some places, grip has been laid in particularly slippery areas and railings are provided where needed – especially on the top of the enormous summit boulder where there is a directional plinth and signage indicating surrounding peaks. All this makes the short walk a great and really interesting option for families with children, with the reward of stunning panoramas at the top while your heart stops tap-dancing in your chest. There now – I think I have described my perfect weekend.

I can't believe it's been almost 3 months since I managed to update my blog! Well, actually I can, as I have been pretty busy, with work trips to Mongolia, Canberra, Hanoi and Cambodia since then (plenty of stories and sights to share). But my big news is that the first copy of my new book, Melbourne for Dogs, has just arrived in my hot little hands today, as an advance copy from the printers. Honestly – the anticipation has been almost too much to bear – it's been somewhat like an elephant's gestation, 2 years in the making and finally it has popped out fully formed in glossy, glorious colour!
RSPCA Victoria have come on board and endorsed it, which is wonderful, and we'll be launching it at the Melbourne Dog Lovers Show, which will be at the Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton from 2nd – 4th May 2014. You can pre-order it from Woodslane online, or after the show, it will be available in all good bookstores and online, as well as through RSPCA shops, and some vets and pet stores as well. It will retail for $24.95, but if you buy one at the show, it will be on special for $19.95. There are over 700 off-lead dog parks and 50+ off-lead beaches in there, as well as a series of longer dog and people-friendly walks to keep you entertained, in the style of the Melbourne's Best Walks book. I do hope you and your pooch enjoy using it to explore (off-lead) pastures new – Indie and I certainly enjoyed researching it!
