this is the best pub I've been to in London, and definitely the best in NW5. on wednesdays there's a couple of grandpas that play jazz, since we discovered them we go there every single wednesday to hear them play.
Nicole Thu Aug 8Rated as: 5/5 -
Beer and Cider top noch! + amazing atmosphere and beer garden.
RB Wed Aug 7Rated as: 5/5 -
An absolutely cracking little pub, possibly my joint favourite (with The Harp at Charing Cross) in London. A fantastic range of real ales, ciders and new-wave keg beers, all at very reasonable prices (this must be one of the last bastions of the sub-£3 pint), top-notch snacks (pork pies, roast pork rolls) and great decor and atmosphere. The only down sides are that since it's fairly small it can get very, very bust, and it's a 45 minute train-ride from my house.
Finton Stack Fri Jan 25Rated as: 5/5 -
Love this place. If you live in London and you love beer (or cider), you should drink here at least once.
Stuart Mon Aug 20 2012Rated as: 5/5 -
One of London's best. Has to be. Only downside is how busy it can get but it deserves its business so what can you do? Just get in and have a pint!
Carlos Thu Jul 19 2012Rated as: 5/5 -
Found on here when visiting from the states and in search of a good beer. While not to many pubs in London, this was by far the best. Amazing selection, great atmosphere and friendly staff. No nonsense and no frills. Just a great boozer and great beers. If I lived in London I'd be back weekly! Wish I had found sooner in my visit.
Clint Sat May 12 2012Rated as: 5/5 -
Was very, very crowded the (week)night I went in, so you might struggle for space here. The beers are good though - although I was a little disappointed that given there are now good craft lagers coming in to London maybe these chaps could expand their "real ales/ciders only" to include a couple of quality lagers?
Ashwin Mon Apr 23 2012Rated as: 4/5 -
Myself and the missus stumbled across this gem on Christmas Eve and fell in love with it instantly. No frills, no bullshit just good beer and good cider with some meat thrown in for good measure. My new favourite London pub. Well done.
James R Sun Dec 25 2011 -
This has to be the best pub in London for real ale and cider drinkers. Met a couple of friends there on Saturday. Had some amazing beers, served in proper glasses and a mix of pork pie, pickled eggs and fresh roast pork baps for the Table. The best part is the wine list on the chalk board, they had three types. Red, White or Rose haha!
James Mon Oct 17 2011 -
Just unreal, a proper, proper boozer. love it.

Cloudera is on a roll in the hot market to bring the Apache Hadoop framework to businesses to handle big data, scoring $65 million in venture funding.
The Palo Alto, Calif.-based startup will use the cash infusion to make the best of what Alan Saldich, vice president of marketing at Cloudera, on Friday called "a huge opportunity" in the burgeoning big data field.
Cloudera already has a partner program of almost 450 companies, including large system integrators such as Capgemini and Accenture, and resellers such as Oracle, Dell and Hewlett-Packard.
[Related: 5 Big Data Moves At Hadoop World ]
But, the company is planning a significant expansion of the program in the coming months to create opportunities for smaller-sized solution providers, Saldich said.
"We are making an effort to build out the channel, but I don't think it's ready yet for small VARs to take on," Saldich said. "At the moment we're working with larger resellers.
"We're going to be making the channel program more robust and refined," Saldich added. "It's been forming in the last year, and it will become more defined for VARs in the next six months."
Apache Hadoop is the open-source software framework that supports the data-intensive applications that are essential for cloud computing. A large market is growing to serve the need to handle these large, complex data sets, including the need to capture, manage and analyze data.
"The amount of data in the world has outstripped the ability of companies to deal with it," said Saldich.
Cloudera sells a commercial distribution of the Apache Hadoop software, along with Cloudera Enterprise, a subscription service offering support, and Cloudera Management Suite.
Cloudera is in a crowded field of companies serving the big data market. Competitors include Hortonworks, with its Data Platform 1.0 for commercial big data based on Apache Hadoop, and MapR Technologies, with M7, its big data platform to boost HBase, the non-relational database developed as part of Apache Hadoop.
The funding round for Cloudera was led by Accel Partners, with participation from Ignition Partners, Greylock Partners, In-Q-Tel and Meritech Capital Partners, the company said. The company will also expand internationally, opening a European headquarters in the U.K. in early 2013.
"The [Cloudera] team succeeded in developing the market's leading platform for Big Data and has become the go-to technology for enterprise Hadoop Infrastructure, supported by its rich and diverse partner ecosystem," Ping Li, a partner at Accel Partners and head of the Accel Big Data Fund, said in a statement Thursday. "The company is accelerating on its position as the standard for Hadoop in the enterprise and is well positioned to expand its revenue and global customer footprint."
This story was updated on Dec. 13, 2012, at 3:20pm PST, to reflect that Cloudera is located in Palo Alto, Calif., and not Boston, Mass.

Q and A: Smithsonian's Elizabeth Cottrell on the Virginia Earthquake
A Smithsonian geologist offers her expertise on the seismic event that shook much of the mid-Atlantic this week
- Smithsonian.com, August 24, 2011, Subscribe
In March, Elizabeth Cottrell, a geologist at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History and director of the Institution's Global Volcanism Program, created a helpful video explanation of Japan's devastating Sendai Earthquake. So when a magnitude 5.8 quake occurred in Mineral, Virginia, yesterday, just 84 miles southwest of Washington, D.C., we went to her with our questions.
Why was the earthquake felt over such a broad geographic range?
The East Coast has much more contiguous bedrock that is less broken up by faults and other kinds of tectonic boundaries. On the West Coast, there are just a lot more faults, which damp the energy. On the East Coast, energy can pass more efficiently and travel farther.
What other factors play into how an earthquake is felt?
It has to do with the nature of the material you are sitting on. If you have sediment that sloshes around you can get a lot more damage or a lot more ground motion than you feel on solid ground for the same magnitude earthquake. This was also a shallow earthquake, so it went through less material.
What is known about the faults in that area of Virginia?
The USGS has a very good write-up and very nice map about this fault system and the history of the faults. It definitely is a very large earthquake, the largest we have on record, especially recorded with modern instruments, for this system. I think people on the West Coast are somewhat poking fun of the East Coast. But this earthquake is certainly nothing to sneeze at.
What do they know so far about this fault?
It's a reverse fault, part of the Central Virginia Seismic Zone. A reverse fault is a thrust fault—one piece of rock sliding over another along a plane—with a high angle, meaning the fault goes into the earth more steeply. They are the opposite of normal faults. It is the kind of thing that is easy to diagram but difficult to explain.
What damage happened at the museum and your lab?
The Natural History Museum is a 100-year-old building, and things aren't as earthquake ready here because earthquakes are not as common. The doors in our department are no longer square. Some doors don't close. Some doors stick. So the doors are out of true, so there is clearly some shifting in the building. There was a lot more damage at the Museum Support Center [in Suitland, Maryland], which is still closed today. We had damage in the Minerals Hall. A lot of minerals fell out of their specimen holders, and that hall is closed today. In my own lab, I run really high temperature furnaces for doing experiments on rocks and I have to get in right now and assess that damage.

The Finger Harp
Simply beautiful, the finger harp is an integral part of African music culture that originated in sub-Saharan Africa.
In Africa it is known as the mbira, but this double-consonant word confuses many westerners, so in America it is translated into the finger harp; the name explaining the purpose of this lovely instrument.
The finger harp is played by a single musician; however it is rarely performed as a solo. More frequently, it is played as a feature of other musicians, vocalists and dancers.
If there is one word to describe the music of Africa, it is variety, and the options exist with the same instrument. For example, the finger harp is not a uniformly designed instrument. There are 33-note versions played by performers in Zimbabwe and smaller types of 6 notes the Bushmen of Kalahari use.
And it's not just the size that varies; the name itself changes from region to region in Africa. It is mbira in Zimbabwe, but the same instrument is called the Kalimba in Kenya, the ikembe in Rwanda and likembe in the Congo.
Other names include the sanza, sansa, gourd piano, marimba, marimbula, and thumb piano. You can see why westerners are confused by this instrument as it is difficult to keep up with the names!
The kalimba was actually introduced by an Englishman named Hugh Tracey who moved to Zimbabwe, formerly Rhodesia, to assist in the running of a tobacco farm. Tracey created a diatonic instrument similar to the mbira in the 1960s which became popular around the world.
Translated, the Kalimba means "little music" and it's perfect for playing harmony with both thumbs. You'll find this instrument throughout the world, particularly the Middle East, Asia and North and South America.
Regardless of how it is called, the kalimba, or mbira or finger harp has an important place in the culture of African music.
Unique Qualities of Kalimba Music
The translation of Kalimba is little music, and it is a perfect blend of African sounds adapted to include Western tastes.
Developed in the 1960s by Englishman Hugh Tracey, it is often referred to as the thumb piano for allowing the musician to play harmony using both thumbs.
Tracey relocated from Great Britain to Zimbabwe, formerly Rhodesia, to assist in the operation of a tobacco farm owned by his brother in the 1920's. While there, he became fascinated by the African music culture, particularly an instrument called the mbira. Tracey invented the modern Kalimba based on the construction of the mbira.
There is some cross-pollination of these instruments in Africa. In Zimbabwe the population still refers to the instrument as the mbira and in Kenya they say Kalimba. To further confuse the issue, in Rwanda and the Congo the instrument is called an ikembe. Less common names are the sanza, marimba and marimbula.
Perhaps the most generic name for this marvelous instrument is the thumb piano, gourd piano and finger harp.
Essentially, the Kalimba, pronounced ka-leem'-buh, is a wooden box with metal keys called lamellas adhered to the top. The keys are sometimes made from cane while the box is made from an African hardwood called kyat.
Traditional African self-reliance has some of these beautiful instruments fashioned out of bicycle spokes, spoon handles or discarded wire that is shaped into the necessary length for plucking. These strings are plucked with the two thumbs or a combination of thumbs and fingers.
The strings or keys are 20 to 24 in number, placed on two bars on the sound box. The loose ends of the keys are various lengths which provide the different pitches. Like any stringed instrument of the West, a longer string produces a lower pitch and a shorter string accords a higher pitch.
Our friend Samite is a master of Kalimba music, so why not invite his artistry into your home?

We are showing you the Global version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
It takes 42
The other day I finally did something I should have done a long time ago. I put (or rather Andy, our team mechanic, put) a 42 tooth chainring back on my bike. After an absence of what seems like almost forever (9 years in fact) I feel truly reunited with a great friend.
I can remember the moment that I had to concede defeat and begin my long and painful separation from the 42 tooth inner ring. When, after many successful years in the youth category happily and smoothly turning a 42 over, (firstly as my big ring as an under 14 when the maximum gear was 42×12, then as an inner ring when I went up to 50×15 in under 16 and on to 52×14 as a Junior) I moved into the senior ranks and onto the World Class Performance Plan and was told I would have a 53/39 on my Trek.
I'm not an Old-School devotee or anything like that; there are few bits of kit I really hanker after on a bike. I think bikes have to be a bit fluid to work really well, as in you should be able to change them around to suit what you are doing and where you are. Nothing is really ruled out (except Oli Beckinsale's mud guards, which frankly bring the tone right down in training). I would say though, for what I, a British-based Elite rider does, the 42 inner-ring is just perfection.
I learnt quickly while I was racing pro in Italy that there are no real hilly races in the U.K. and when and if we do ever go up what might be called a hill, we didn't actually race up them. The hills here just aren't long enough for anything more than a quick sprint up to the top. A 39 is great when you have to sit down and tap out a rhythm for 40 minutes, or when you have to haul yourself up the Mortirolo and still have something left in the legs to race the next day. But let's be honest, we here in the UK are mostly better off having a bit of something to lean on.
That is exactly what I found when I put the 42 to use last week in the Mi-Aout Breton stage race. While others would drop down into the 39 for the incessant drags and sharp kicks the Bretons liked to litter the finish circuits with, I'd see their bodies flop down as the huge drop from the 53 to the 39 scuppered their stance and strength. Then, as we crested the drag, they would twist and bow uncomfortably in their seats as they twiddled their gears around before eventually caving in and losing the wheel in front in a desperate scramble for the big ring.
I, however, would calmly slip from the 53 to the 42 barely noticing the difference between ratios, allowing me to maintain my regal air of cool while powering past the little men. Then, as we would crest the drag and the attacks would stretch out the line, I could quite happily remain smoothly turning the 42 over the top of the hill and even down the other side. I didn't have to drop a wheel, I never felt under or over geared.
I was totally calm as I had lost my inner ring fear. It might be odd but I often worry that by being in the little ring I am exposed to being smashed by someone who just stomps by in a bigger gear. It just doesn't seem like you can do anything in a 39 apart from go up very steep hills or spin around on a recovery day. Having a 42, however, empowers you: There is no hill I race up or train up that you can't get up really on a 42, and if there was such a hill I wouldn't be near the front end of the race anyhow.
It is also, as I discovered today to my pleasure, an ideal gear in which to roll around the Mendips on for three hours. Even on my recovery days I get pretty sick of trying to go about on the 39. It feels like I am having to pedal too fast and am in danger of falling forwards off the front of my bike, as one does when their chain slips right off. It's just not comfortable to roll, whereas the 42 does just that: On the flat, over drags, even if it needs to be leant on a few times on the climbs, it is still a generally more pleasing sensation than twiddling about, going nowhere or knowing you are wearing the pins out more than necessary in the 53.
Nowadays though the 42 is hard to come by, and when you do put one on it looks enormous. But I like that a lot, as I am sure it scares the weaker people, and that's half the battle won right there.

Do you know that since I have been riding the same Mercian road bike since the mid-1980s I assumed everyone was still pretty much on 42/52. This blog entry has opened my eyes - a quick look at Cannondale and Trek's websites shows bikes being sold with 50/34! When did all this happen? Are gears being 'dumbed down' for the weaker legged?
Tom you are right you can do anything on a 42 - now I know why I drop people up my local Welsh hills spinning their 'modern' 34'ers…I assumed they were on 42'ers…ha!!
God, I was so out of touch on this one….

Doug Scott: Embodying the spirit of modern Alpinism 14 Apr 2011 British climber Doug Scott tells the UIAA about his contributions to mountaineering, the challenge of preserving traditional climbing and the importance of the Piolets d'Or award for encouraging innovation and exploration. Scott is the 2011 recipient of the Piolets d'Or Lifetime Contribution Award – only the third climber to have been given the honour, after Walter Bonatti (2009) and Reinhold Messner (2010). He spoke to the UIAA ahead of the Piolets d'Or ceremony on 16 April in Courmayeur, Italy. Scott is the British Representative on the UIAA's Management Committee. UIAA: The Piolets d'Or committee commends you as "one of the pioneers of alpine style climbing in the Greater Ranges..." as someone who "embodies the spirit of modern alpinism...". And it also recognises your charitable work in Nepal. Modesty aside, what do you think has been your most valuable contribution to alpinism? Doug Scott: if anything it was climbing high in lightweight style and sometimes completely in Alpine Style on new routes. That is where all the interest lies; to go where no one has gone before, where there is uncertainty, wondering what will you find there, will there be belay ledges and a place to bivouac for the night? I did learn a lot about handling myself in the thin, cold air on the big, siege style expeditions to the South West Face of Everest (1975). Dougal Haston and myself left the summit at 7 pm and had to sleep just 100 metres down, without oxygen, sleeping bags - and as it turned out - without getting frostbite. That really widened the range of how and what I would climb in the future.
My most important climb was Kangchenjunga (with Joe Tasker, Peter Boardman and George Bettembourg in 1979). We were the first to go onto a big mountain without oxygen and to do it lightweight without a mass of Sherpas and fixed ropes. That was a big step into the unknown for us, always wondering what would happen if one of us got oedema. You wouldn't be able to get a man down from up there. Now they are flying helicopter rescues up 7,000 metres. What do you think of this recent development? When we were off in the 1970s and 1980s, that was that, you went off. You severed your connection with home. If some porters came up, you sent some letters off to the wife, but there were no telephones or radios. On Kangchenjunga there were no radios at all. You just went to be there. Nowadays people hardly leave home and office since they are still connected. How important do you think the Piolets d'Or award is for encouraging innovation and exploration? As a member of the UIAA Management Committee, how do you think the UIAA could improve the way it supports the values you hold dearly? We know that it is important for the UIAA to be recognised by the International Olympic Committee otherwise some Federations may leave the UIAA. Despite this I would like to see more attention paid to actual climbing and pointing the UIAA towards being the guardian of the best traditions of our sport. I've come onto the UIAA to help to promote the idea that the few remaining areas of Traditional Climbing should be preserved - as heritage crags if that is the only way. It seems that the UIAA is going through another period of upheaval since the third Executive Director in a year has left the UIAA. Also the UIAA is in severe financial difficulties. The Chinese character for crisis is in two parts; one part of the ideogram is chaos and the other part is opportunity. If we take a lead from the wise Chinese the UIAA would be well advised not to let the moment pass without analysing the situation in depth and putting reform in place to rectify the problems. |

Alert early voting begins today in the key battleground state.
Of Ohio there's also some breaking news though on a -- new voter ID requirement in Pennsylvania judge is now blocking.
That new requirement ordering -- not be in forests in the presidential election Democrats.
Have mounted a furious opposition to -- law -- requires each voter to show a valid photo ID before filling out about Republicans say it's necessary to prevent.
Election fraud at least for now.
It's not gonna happen police in the state of Pennsylvania jetted into -- kind of as a Fox News senior judicial analyst so.
Why now why did this ruling now we're so close -- the election.
-- -- says a great question -- this this litigation started months ago.
And the judge who ruled today a couple of months ago upheld the legislation has said it could be enforced.
And then those who challenge that appealed his decision to the supreme court of Pennsylvania.
Supreme court of Pennsylvania took a few months and it ruled that the judge needed to reexamine whether the enforcement.
Of the legislation is written.
You must have any state issued ID card in order to vote or we won't let your vote count.
Whether that enforcement of that law would cause people to lose their right to vote.
In in looking at whether that what happened.
He stated this morning he feared no one knows for sure he feared that it would cause people to lose their right to vote.
Therefore he's going to let the state ask you for your IED.
But if you don't have one or don't produce one you still get the right to vote then he's going to hold a hearing.
After Election Day on whether this -- this legislation.
Can proceed on to affect other who votes in Pennsylvania go next year.
It's back to business as usual on Pennsylvania to weighted voting has been done in the past but it's not yet over for the challenge to have voter ID be a requirement.
-- precisely because what the judge did today is -- what we -- a temporary injunction.
He has stopped of the enforcement for a short period of time to take it beyond this presidential.
But he may allow it to be enforced for elections in Pennsylvania in 2013.
And again the only difference when you go to the polls in Pennsylvania.
Next month as to opposed to when you went last year is that we'll ask you for an ID you don't have -- you still get to vote somewhat of a waste of time.
So forth with that with the election process this time around will the judge -- and team.
Anecdotes evidence anything that happens in the selection process.
As a part of his ruling for whether or not this is permanent hello this election play -- from either side.
I think he probably will if if -- challengers to the statute can show.
All of the hoopla over the legislation.
Of course people to stay home who otherwise would go and vote well the public policy of -- that people should vote.
So that's a bad thing and that would help him to invalidate the statute.
But if they can't show that anybody's right to vote was impaired by this.
Partial enforcement if you will of the statute.
Then there's then there's no evidence of pushing in that direction.
To add another level to this they're probably will be an appeal of the decisions he came down with this morning.
Back to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
They were very short period of time and it actually rules -- it may overturn his ruling -- Election Day yes they can they can they they have procedure whereby they can rule in just a couple of days and they married may very well say.
You know what we're just gonna let this play out or we don't like what he did we're going to change it to this extent.
Well let's see what happens in the state of Pennsylvania next when asked you a quick question -- -- can send national law that affects us all.
The health care overhaul we heard from the Supreme Court yesterday that they had an interest in and it in a particular case that had to do with the Christian college.
That doesn't want a forced parts of the health care a lot because they feel in conflict with that I hope I got that are great judge PS I did that were what is the Supreme Court -- it and doing what does this mean for the health -- I don't.
-- general back in June the Supreme Court upheld the individual mandate which requires that everyone have health insurance.
While that was going on the challenge to the individual mandate.
This Christian school liberty university and in Virginia challenged what's called the employer mandate.
That forces all employers of a certain number of people or more.
To provide health care coverage for those employers that covers abortion.
Contraceptive services and euthanasia.
So this college basically said well we don't believe in any of those three things if we purchasing health care policy for our employees.
Offers those services that will violate our values the Supreme Court has shown an interest in hearing that challenge.
Whether -- not the employer mandate as opposed to the individual mandate.
Violates that First Amendment protection which prevents the government from interfering with your religious sectarian.
She's -- an interest does that mean we see a case anytime soon -- is isn't this the years away.
Well if the Supreme Court had let these challenges work their way up you're talking years away but but what they did yesterday.
We'll probably get it to the Supreme Court next year and the answer your question is no just because they've shown an interest in something.
Doesn't mean they're going to affect the outcome but they probably wouldn't do this if they weren't interested in ruling on the merits very interesting -- thank you for.
Crisscrossing both of those topics for us is a -- -- crisscrossing -- very good idea very flattered that I I think I wouldn't I wouldn't expect nothing less of course.
My judgment -- had a nice to have -- Greg.
