- Coated in rubber so users don't drop it when making a call
For Instagram addicts and Facebook fiends, it could be the best workout accessory you'll ever buy.

Scroll down for video
The case is made from steel, and coated in rubber so sweaty hands don't drop it. The firm also said it is working on a gold version.
The ToneFone is available in 1kg and 1.5kg weights
It's makers claim it could let people work out at home.
'How many times, when leaving work, have you thought "I'll definitely go to the gym tonight!" and then by the time you get home you can't be bothered anymore; you feel tired and without energy?' say Desirable Body, the firm behind the case.
'Imagine your phone was a dumbbell, you'd be working out now!'
Described as 'a revolutionary new case for iPhone 5 and 5s', the ToneFoneeven claims to help improve the owners skin by claiming 'You won't get your hands rough with hard skin from working out thanks to its smooth rubber finish.'
It has already proved a big hit online, and is currently sold out - although the firm promises more stock within weeks.
The case is currently available in white, with Gold and space grey models coming June 2014.
The firm says it can help even the most unfit owner, as 'even the most basic movements will help you to improve your muscle strength and endurance.'
At tonight's event, Cook is set to unveil the next-generation of mobile software, dubbed iOS 8. Although many of the changes are likely to incremental, the biggest addition is rumoured to be an application called Healthbook, which is believed to have leaked last month (pictured) and is designed to track and monitor fitness
A recent mockup of the iBand, which could include health sensors that send data to the Healthbook app
It comes as Apple is turning its attention to health and fitness.
Earlier this week first glimpse of Apple's plan to take on the fitness and health world was revealed - and the app that could control the much anticipated iWatch.
Called Healthbook, the new app is expected to be unveiled in June at Apple's annual developer conference.
It offers everything from food and sleep tracking to blood sugar level analysis - and can even tell how much water you've drunk.

Remember the 1996 movie, "A Time to Kill"?
An adaptation of John Grisham's 1989 legal thriller, it stars Matthew McConaughey as a small-town lawyer in Mississippi who defends a black man who killed the two white racists who had raped his 10-year-old daughter.
In his closing arguments McConaughey asks the jury to close their eyes and listen to the painful details of a story about the brutal rape of an innocent little girl.
Then he ends his gripping story with a powerful request to the jury — "Now imagine she's white."
I was reminded of that powerful scene in "A Time to Kill" as I watched the raggedy parade of scandals coming out of Obama's Washington last week.
The tragedy in Benghazi and subsequent spinning and covering up. The IRS harassment and abuse of conservative political groups prior to the 2012 election. The Justice Department's seizure of Associated Press reporters' phone records.
Now, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, close your eyes and think about the details of these crimes against the people by the Obama administration — and then imagine the president is George W. Bush or Ronald Reagan. `
Do you think the Benghazi, IRS and AP stories might have been covered any differently if the president's name didn't start with "O" and his party didn't start with "D"?
Of course they would have.
Do you think the America people would know a little more about Benghazi today if last fall editors at The Washington Post, The New York Times or "60 Minutes" had issued orders to dig into what really happened there and why Ambassador Stevens was targeted for assassination?
I don't know all the facts and answers about Benghazi or the IRS. But lots of folks in the Obama government do, and digging them up is supposed to be the job of an honest news media — some members of which are being shamed into finally doing their jobs.
It's pretty amazing. Thanks to the IRS' dirty tricks, even liberals are turning on St. Barack.
He now is being compared to Nixon, the only president every American is allowed to hate. Liberal pundits are dusting off the old "W" word — Watergate — and recycling forgotten terms like "enemies list."
Of course the golfer in chief says he's shocked — shocked, he tells us — to learn IRS bureaucrats were doing dirty work on his behalf.
Of course the president knew nothing about the IRS' crimes until last week. It was not his fault. It was those damn underlings again. He can't help it if they love him so much they break the law.
And when the Justice Department went fishing at the AP last year for information about reporters' phone calls, it was new news to the Prez. "I must have been golfing with Tiger that weekend," I think I heard him say, "but I'll get to the bottom of it and fire a few secretaries."
Shouldn't the media be asking if Obama has an enemies list? Or are enemies lists things that are only kept by Republicans and conservatives?
These major scandals rising out of the Obama administration — each pre-dating the 2012 election — are only now starting to attract the mainstream media attention they deserve.
The New York-DC media ignored Benghazi or pooh-poohed its importance until Obama was safely re-elected.
Now it's beginning to sound like we should have known about those partisan crimes at the IRS last year, too — and we would have if Big Liberal Media had been acting like watchdogs instead of Obama lapdogs.
It's great to see the shine finally coming off President Obama's phony halo. But it's not the result of the "Second Term Curse," as some of his apologists would like us to believe.
And it's not because the mainstream media have finally stepped up and done their jobs as fair and honest journalists. It's simply the result of the president's character and the character of his sleazy regime.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis chose the Chicago Bears over other suitors for a shot at returning to playing the type of football he became accustomed to in his first three years in the NFL with the New Orleans Saints.
A first-round pick by the Saints' (No. 7 overall) in 2008, Ellis enjoyed moderate success during his first three seasons, but said the team's scheme over the last two years "didn't quite suit my talents." Ellis posted 12 sacks in his first three seasons, but over the past two, he's contributed only a half-sack overall.
"I believe the first three years went pretty well," Ellis said. "We had some coaching changes and some scheme changes as far as defense. It was kind of a little rotation of defensive coordinators that came in for a little bit. I believe the last two years the schemes that were played didn't quite suit my talents. I think that showed in production."
Projected to play the three-technique spot in Chicago's 4-3 front, Ellis will be used more as a penetrator than a mere run-plugger. That small detail made all the difference in Ellis making the decision to sign with the Bears over other teams he visited such as the Detroit Lions and New England Patriots.
"Yeah, that was part of the reason I picked Chicago. But mainly it was because of the way that I know their defensive line plays. They allow their guys to do what defensive linemen are supposed to do. That's rush the passer, get sacks and put pressure on the quarterback while playing the run on the way. So I'm excited to be a part of a scheme that does that. I haven't had the chance to do that the last couple of years. I'm glad to be back on a team that I know runs a solid (4-3) the way they used to run the (4-3). I'm excited to have a chance to play in a defense like that again."
The Bears plan to plug in Ellis in the rotation behind starter Henry Melton, initially. But there's a chance Ellis could wind up playing the nose tackle position in a pinch. He's played both positions in the past.
Bears coach Marc Trestman likes the depth added to the position with the signing of Ellis, but the coach is also pleased that the new defensive tackle ratchets up the competition along the interior of the defensive line.
"Just talking to (general manager) Phil (Emery) and the scouts, he gives us certainly some more-than-needed depth inside playing the three-technique (which) will allow for us to grow," Trestman said. "We've created even a more competitive environment on our football team with his addition. Just talking to him, he's ready to go and to improve in his career."
Defensive coordinator Mel Tucker pointed to Ellis' versatility in explaining why the defensive tackle appealed to the team.
"We feel like he can give us some stoutness inside, and also give us some rush inside," Tucker said. "He'll have an opportunity to come in here, prove what he can do and compete. That's what we're looking for."
Ellis, meanwhile, looks to Oct. 4 when he'll have the opportunity -- provided he makes Chicago's roster -- to face his former team. The Saints traded up in the draft to select Ellis in 2008, but he never lived up to his high billing, and he struggled in 2011 and '12.
In April, New Orleans general manager Mickey Loomis said Ellis, who at 27 years old should be entering the prime of his career, wouldn't be a part of the club's 2013 plans.
"I think you know which games are circled on the calendar," Ellis said, laughing.

it seems to me that the United States and Russia have engaged in brutal occupations, and kill and torture with impunity. There are certainly many other examples as well. However, I believe that what the rabbi observes when he states that "at the heart of the Torah lies personal responsibility" is true, and this is exactly why I am often perplexed and perturbed by Israeli domestic and foreign policy if I am to assume it is guided by a Judaic moral compass rather than callous realpolitik.

Demand for TIGER II funds exceeds supply
The demand for TIGER II funding has overwhelmed its $600 million the U.S. Department of Transportation can award for infrastructure projects ranging from highways and bridges to transit and ports.
Nearly 1,000 construction grant applications were filed for more than $19 billion from all 50 states, U.S. territories and the District of Columbia. The $600 million in TIGER II grants is for capital investment in surface transportation projects. Up to $35 million can be used for planning grants.
The Department of Transportation has partnered with the Department of Housing and Urban Development to offer TIGER II planning grants along with HUD's $40 million in Community Challenge Planning Grants.
TIGER II grants will be awarded on a competitive basis to projects that have a significant impact on the nation, a region or metropolitan area.
The overwhelming demand for TIGER II grants continues a trend. Last February, the Department announced 51 grant awards from nearly 1,500 applications for TIGER I grants nationwide. The TIGER I requests were for almost $60 billion worth of projects, 40 times the $1.5 billion available under that program.

Bermagui Waterhole handed over to Yuin people
The Bermagui waterhole has been handed over to the Yuin people thirty years after being identified as a significant site by Guboo Ted Thomas.

Tucked away just up river from the Bermagui River Bridge, a waterhole with important Aboriginal heritage was handed over to the Yuin people last week.
The waterhole, known to Aboriginal people for many generations, was listed when the NSW government began in the 1970's to identify sites that are important to Aboriginal culture and heritage.
Now surrounded by new urban development, the waterhole has survived largely due to the work done back then by Yuin elder Guboo Ted Thomas, and Ray Kelly, the first Aboriginal person to be employed by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service.
Thirty years later, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people came to the waterhole to celebrate the hand-over, including Bermagui's Primary School children who walked to the site from across the river, each with a chair in hand.
The Gulaga dancers performed, and Yuin elders, together with children from the school, planted trees across the site. (See the videos of the dances.)
The day began with a welcome to country from Harold Harrison, and an introduction by Paul House, Manager Southern Aboriginal Heritage Region, NSW Department of Environment and Climate Change (DECC).
Paul House explained the archaeological and historical associations, and the cultural and spiritual significance of the site.
"Local elders like Uncle Guboo Ted Thomas and others have worked since the 1970's to ensure that these cultural and spiritual values are acknowledged and protected under the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Act.
"The waterhole is associated with a nearby midden, and a burial site. Its part of the stories that the old people used to tell, very powerful creation stories.
"Today is about finding common ground in the spirit of reconciliation to protect this very important site. It's about sharing this heritage with both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people, it's a shared heritage."
The importance of the work done over the last 30 years to preserve the site was emphasised by the building activity that continued through the day in new housing developments on all sides, the sounds of construction activity merging with that of the traditional dances.
One by one, Yuin elders, each together with two Bermagui schoolchildren, planted a tree.
Graham Moore, also from DECC explained that, "The beauty of this place is that it's right in the middle of town. The stories are to do with Gulaga and Biamunga. When people did their traditional business in the mountains this was one of the first places that they came to. To rejuvenate. Fresh water and plenty of food about. Swimming in the waterhole, and lying in the sands."
"Our people are a beautiful people," said Harold Harrison, " A very spiritual people, in a very spiritual place.
"Our history is so important to our people. And it's important to everyone because it's the history of our country, Australia."
Harold was "taken away" from his family when he was 6, not long after his mother died. He recently heard from another boy who was taken away at the same time. Harold now knows this boy is his nephew and they will soon meet again for the first time since the late 1940's when "the welfare took us to the children's home".
"I believe today was very special because Bermagui's school children took part. They are the future. And to be able to plant a tree with the little ones! It was a beautiful day."
Paul House played the didgeridoo at the 'welcome to country ceremony' for the recent sitting of the current parliament, the first time an Aboriginal welcoming ceremony has been done for a new Australian parliament. His mother, Matilda House-Williams led the welcome to country. On the following day both were observers at the apology to the stolen generations. Paul clearly feels deeply about the honour of their participation and the significance of those two days.
At the Bermagui celebration he said, "We are all indigenous to planet Earth. The representation by the Bermagui school children was very important. They are the future. We are able to nurture young minds and provide good values, and respect for our elders. We must ensure that younger generations are involved so we can give them ownership and responsibility, and share in that transfer of knowledge."
Graham Moore emphasised this point, "Children are our future. Black, white or green, it doesn't matter, as long as we can come together as a community and manage places in a way that our children's children can understand and honour our heritage."
The work ahead now is to restore the waterhole. "Plans are to clean out the bull rushes that aren't native and restore the fresh water spring. Today we planted native trees and bush tuckers," said Graham.

Obama gives annual Passover holiday message 370.

The same proportion of Israelis believe US President Barack Obama's
administration leans toward the Palestinians as who think it favors Israel,
according to a Smith Research poll sponsored by The Jerusalem Post this
week.The poll of 500 respondents representing a statistical sample of
the adult Jewish population was taken on Sunday and Monday and had a 4.5
percentage point margin of error. The full results of the survey, including key
questions regarding a potential military strike on Iran, will be revealed for
the first time at Sunday's Jerusalem Post Conference in New York.Asked
whether the Obama administration is more pro- Israel, more pro-Palestinian or
neutral, 24% said more pro- Israel, 24% said more pro-Palestinian, 36% said
neutral and 16% did not express an opinion.Israelis' views on the Obama
administration varied significantly based on where they place themselves on the
political map. Those who consider themselves left-wing were more likely to call
the administration more pro-Israel, while right-wing Israelis were more likely
to perceive it as more pro-Palestinian.Among left-wing Israelis, 44%
said the administration was more pro-Israel, 8% said more pro-Palestinian and
39% said neutral. Among rightists, 19% said more pro-Israel, 37% said more
pro-Palestinian, and 31% said neutral.The numbers among Israelis who
consider themselves centrist were more reflective of the general results of the
poll. Twenty three percent called the Obama administration more pro-Israel, 24%
said more pro-Palestinian and 45% said neutral.The question was exactly
the same as in six other Smith Research polls conducted for the Post since May 2009.
In that first poll, 31% predicted that the Obama administration would be more
pro-Israel and 14% said more pro-Palestinian.The next poll was taken
less than a month later, following the first White House meeting between Prime
Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Obama and the American president's landmark
speech to the Muslim world in Cairo. It found a huge shift, with the proportion
calling the Obama administration more pro-Palestinian rising from 14% to 50% and
the proportion calling it more pro-Israel falling from 31% to only
6%.Those calling the Obama presidency more pro-Israel than
pro-Palestinian fell in August 2009 to a low point of 4% and rose to 9% in March
2010, 10% in July 2010, and 12% in May 2011, the most recent previous Smith
Research poll on the issue.In September 2011, the same question was
asked in a survey sponsored by this newspaper that was conducted by a different
pollster who used different methods. Keevoon Strategies took the poll
immediately after Obama delivered what was considered a very pro-Israel address
to the United Nations General Assembly and blocked an effort by the Palestinians
to persuade the UN to unilaterally declare a Palestinian state along the 1949
armistice lines.That poll found that the percentage of Israelis who
considered the Obama administration more pro-Israel than pro-Palestinian was

Yankees grab lead over Orioles in Game 5 on RBI single from Raul Ibanez
Oct 12, 2012, 6:35 PM EDT
After playing hero in Game 3 of the ALDS on Wednesday night, Raul Ibanez is being a thorn in the Orioles' side again today.
Thanks to an RBI single by Ibanez in the bottom of the fifth, the Yankees have jumped out to a 1-0 lead over the Orioles in Game 5.
Mark Teixeira singled to lead off to the bottom of the fifth inning for the first hit of the day off Jason Hammel. After realizing that he wasn't being held on by Mark Reynolds at first base, Teixeira then successfully stole second base, bum calf and all. Ibanez followed with a slow roller through the middle to bring him around to score. The interesting part is that if Teixeira was held on, the Ibanez grounder likely would have resulted in a double-play.
Sabathia is looking pretty tough thus far, holding the Orioles to just one hit and a walk while striking out four. If he's at the top of his game, one run might be enough.
- churchoftheperpetuallyoutraged - Oct 12, 2012 at 6:40 PM
We secretly replaced Mark Teixeira with Rickey Henderson. Let's see if the Orioles notice…
- thatswhatsgooood - Oct 12, 2012 at 6:49 PM
Wow the ball hit the fucking poll. ROBBED
- theawesomersfranchise - Oct 12, 2012 at 7:03 PM
I think the 2nd replay shows the angle of decent changing slightly, meaning it hit the pole, a Yankee usher said it barely hit the pole. But I don't think they were robbed.
- churchoftheperpetuallyoutraged - Oct 12, 2012 at 7:12 PM
- kitshky - Oct 12, 2012 at 7:26 PM
Ya, the close up replay from directly in front of the pole (not the first close up from the side which did kinda show it change subtly) did kind of seem to just go straight by the pole but even that was inconclusive… either way no way conclusive enough to overturn any ruling on the field or consider it a "robbery".
- rj88888 - Oct 12, 2012 at 6:49 PM
Baltimore is getting out managed. May be enough to win the series.
- randygnyc - Oct 12, 2012 at 6:50 PM
Smoltz and Ripken were begging and praying that Mclouths ball was fair. What disgusting, biased, pigs.
- churchoftheperpetuallyoutraged - Oct 12, 2012 at 7:13 PM
Smoltz is an idiot. No one was "fearing" Rivera in '96 when he was the set-up man to Wetteland. In fact, when Rivera blew the game in '97 against Alomar, there was a big todo about whether he could actually replace Wetteland.
- mplsjoe - Oct 12, 2012 at 8:08 PM
Buck cost his team the game by not holding Tex on. Stupid.

The Charity and Security Network monitors U.S. and foreign government activities and a wide range of news sources to identify developments in national security policy that impact American charities and foundations. We collect and disseminate this information - with a focus on its impact on civil society and nonprofit organizations.
International NGO Statement Critical of Administration's CVE Strategy
The largest group of U.S.-based non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to date has responded to the Obama administration's new "Countering Violent Extremism" (CVE) strategy.
USAID Issues Final Partner Vetting System Rule
A long-awaited final Partner Vetting System (PVS) final rule was issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) June 26 (Partner Vetting in USAID Assistance, 80 Fed. Reg. 36693). The rule, which establishes a pilot project in five countries, requires many grant applicants to submit detailed personal information on key employees to USAID for comparison with intelligence databases. It is dismissive of concerns raised by nonprofit organizations (NGOs) and others in response to the proposed rule issued in 2013.
C&SN Signs On to Letter Objecting to CVE Expansion
The Charity & Security Network, joined by 42 civil liberties, human rights and racial justice organizations, has signed onto a letter expressing grave concerns about a proposed bill that would create a division devoted to "countering violent extremism" (CVE) within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The office would be headed by a new Assistant Secretary and supported by a career Deputy Assistant Secretary, and the bill allocates $10 million annually from the budget of the Office of the Secretary of DHS to this new program.
H.R. 2899, The Countering Violent Extremism Act of 2015, was introduced by Rep. Michael McCaul (D-TX) June 25. A hearing on the bill was held July 15 in the House Committee on Homeland Security, followed by bill markup. Representatives from DHS did not attend the hearing, while many observers have speculated on the reasons for its absence. The bill passed out of committee that evening on a voice vote.
Improvements Needed in Upcoming FATF Evaluation of U.S.
As part of its program to promote global implementation of its anti-terrorist financing and anti-money laundering recommendations, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) will be conducting an evaluation of U.S. compliance in late 2015 and early 2016. FATF is expected to review the evaluators' report and make any recommendations in October 2016.
On July 6, 2015 the Charity & Security Network and the Council on Foundations submitted a detailed memo to the FATF Secretariat that provides the evaluation team with background information on U.S. counterterrorism laws, the impacts on nonprofit organizations (NPOs) and how this compares to FATF standards. It found that U.S. law fails to meet the FATF criteria of a risk-based approach, proportionality, protection of legitimate NPOs and consistency with human rights and humanitarian law. In a cover letter, the groups asked that the FATF evaluation team meet with representatives of the NPO sector as part of the evaluation process. The outcome of the report, and the recommendations, could provide an important opportunity for the U.S. to make its laws more civil-society friendly.
FATF Best Practices Paper Revision is a Victory for NPO Sector
The Financial Action Task Force's (FATF) June 2015 update of its Best Practices Paper (BPP) incorporates almost all of the changes requested by the nonprofit organization (NPO) sector. With a new emphasis on a risk-based approach to counter-terrorism financing (CTF) regulation and specific mention of freedom of association, assembly and expression, NPOs are hailing this as long-awaited victory.
This latest BPP revision, which offers guidance on FATF Recommendation 8, on laws relating to NPOs, states at its outset that FATF recognizes "the vital importance of the NPO community in providing charitable services around the world, as well as the difficulty of providing assistance to those in need, often in remote regions." It also recognizes the efforts of NPOs to promote transparency in their work and "to prevent misuse of the sector by those wishing to support terrorist financing and terrorist organisations." Read more
FATF Agrees to Formal Consultation Process
The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has said it will formalize its consultation process with the nonprofit organization (NPO) sector. At its June Plenary in Australia, FATF agreed to enhance its engagement with NPOs when workingon combating money laundering and terrorist financing by holding an annual discussion with NPOs on specific issues of common interest. It will also organize ad hoc exchanges on technical matters.

Building Peace in Permanent War:
Counterterrorism Laws and Constraints on Peacebuilding
Five Years after Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project
Wednesday, June 24 9:30-10:30 a.m. (EST)
Vicki Sentas, Lecturer in Law, University of New South Wales
Louis Boon-Kuo, Lecturer, Faculty of Law, University of Sydney
Lisa Schirch, Director of Human Security, Alliance for Peacebuilding
Dr. Tomicah Tillemann, former U.S. State Dept. Senior Advisory for Civil Society and Emerging Democracies, currently with the
New America Foundation
The groundbreaking report, Building Peace in Permanent War, Terrorist Listing and Conflict Transformation, provides empirical data on how counterterrorism legislation has affected peacebuilding practice at the local and international level. Co-authors Sentas and Boon-Kuo will discuss their report, with commentary from Schirch and Tillemann.
State Department Outlines CVE Strategy in New QDDR
Countering violent extremism (CVE) plays a prominent role in the second Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review (QDDR), the State Department's policy roadmap, released April 28 by Secretary of State John Kerry. While the CVE strategy, as outlined in the report, emphasizes the importance of a free and functioning civil society, it echoes the rhetoric from the February White House Summit on CVE and the September 2014 presidential memorandum, which focuses on restrictions imposed by foreigh governments and does not address the global impact of U.S. restrictions on civil society. Despite this the report presents yet another potential opening to create dialogue around this issue.
To Increase Peace, Tackle Corruption, Report States
Improvements in peace are ultimately dependent on decreases in corruption, concludes a new report by the Institute for Economics & Peace, Peace and Corruption 2015. Although the report found that keeping corruption under control is essential for building and maintaining peaceful societies, there is no indication of the causal relationship between peace and corruption. Read more.
Global NPO Response to FATF's Call for Comments on Best Practices Paper Revisions
Seventy nonprofit organizations (NPOs) from 28 countries submitted joint comments April 24, 2015 on the draft Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Best Practices Paper (BPP). The comments stressed that the final Best Practices Paper should guide governments on how to take a risk-based and proportional approach to protecting NPOs from terrorist abuse. The Transnational Nonprofit Working Group on FATF (Working Group) hopes that a consultation process between FATF and the NPO sector can be formalized so that NPOs are not again put in the position of trying to comment in a short time frame on a draft that has not been made publicly available.

In my opinion, the Republicans are worse when it comes to this, all of their policies seem to be written by and for big business. They openly and blatantly just ask them what laws to pass. I mean come on.
At least some Democrats at least pretend to fight against the big guys and support small businesses. Hell even Independent Bernie Sanders supports small business growth and fights tooth and nail against corporate dominance.
Decreasing regulations is almost always a good thing now-a-days. In some industries it is literally impossible to completely follow some regulations without breaking some other regulation. They are mutually exclusive.
Forum Rules

John Kerry: Obama Might Not Follow Law if Congress Blocks Iran Deal
I can't watch it yet because I'm at work, but that already makes me nauseous.
It's all edited!!!! It's a Rovian Plot!!! The BFEE is behind it!!!!
Because we're eventually going to find out that Joe McCarthy was right--the government was infiltrated with communists and they grew their own over the years.

The time has come! If it wasn't for PBP this would the THE highlight of the year.
Tonight, from midnight, I'll be with the Fridays riding to Newhaven. I am pleased that the halfway stop will be at Gatwick Airport again. It has something special in the middle of the night, with no plane to catch.
In Newhaven, we have the most fantastic breakfast cafe. That cafe is like a negative control in an experiment. It has no style (a cabin), no decor (white walls), no scenery (underneath a flyover). The question in the experiment is 'how do you rate your breakfast'. The idea being that you are not influenced by external factors. Unfortunately this experiment will always fail when the 'subjects' are the Fridays. When having breakfast with the Fridays after a night ride, it doesn't matter where you are or what the breakfast is like. It is always a memorable experience.
Over 30 people signed up. Some will take the ferry to Dieppe and ride on the next day to Paris. Perfect timing for the finish of le Tour de France.
I need to fit in a long ride for PBP, so will take the opportunity to do a 300. My route between Friday and Saturday looks like this (double click to enlarge):
I shouldn't expect the weather to be too good. There will be showers, but it is warm. And I am on a mission, I'm cycling home to my parents.
I'll be tweeting (@swarm_catcher)
