Happy Samhain everybody!
God bless the clocks going back! You can't beat waking up at a reasonable hour and feeling full of beans and having an extra hour to play with! Coffee and a bacon sandwich a great way to kick things off!
It was a very relaxed day with bugger all happening for the morning. We then took a casual stroll to Whitby Town FC to watch Real Gothic take on Athletico Gazette. Sadly the goths were not up to scratch today and got humped 4 - 0. It was a massive giggle as usual so was a trip worth making.
We then headed back to the apartment for munching and to start packing up a bit.
Last thing to do was to prepare for the final onslaught of partying.
Alcohol and mucho preparation was the order of the evening as we all tarted ourselves up.
First stop was Resolution where we saw Devilish Presley put on an awesome show with some fantastic new numbers. Jacqui seems to have coped quite well with the transition from vocalist and bass player to vocalist only with the new bass player filling the gap nicely and giving them an added dimension. Devilish Presley are one of the few bands I never grow tired of seeing live because they always give 300% with every show.
Our WGW fun ended at Raw nightclub for Martin Oldgoth's excellent Nostalgia night where we drank, chatted and bopped to classic goth and punk tunes. Sadly we left before the end due to the need to get up early to leave apartment and not be over the limit for driving.
All in all it's been a fantastic weekend with great company and I can't wait to get back here again (hopefully in March 2011)

Bleu de France e Horizon: novidades para a CVC, para Santos e o Brasil.
Desde Maio de 2008 ele navega para a CDF Croisieres de France, uma empresa que é uma subdivisão da Pullmantur destinada ao mercado francês. O navio tem capacidade para 1,158 passageiros, mas na temporada brasileira terá a bordo no máximo 700 passageiros, já que a legislação ambiental não permite que um navio desembarque mais que 700 passageiros em Fernando de Noronha. Segundo o guia Berlitz o navio tem 3+ estrelas, e 1,396 pontos, o que lhe dá uma colocação mediana no ranking dos navios de tamanho médio. Porém, na época de sua construção o navio foi um dos mais luxuosos do mundo, e foi sucedido em sua companhia, a Hapag-Lloyd pelo atual navio mais luxuoso do mundo (pequeno porte), o Europa (de 1999). Ele ferá a estréia com esse nome em Santos no dia 29 de Março. Mas já em Novembro o navio chega ao Brasil, para cruzeiros no Nordeste, onde fica até Março, e volta em Abril, ficando na região até Maio. Texto: (©) Copyright MSC Press Release.

Whitby Goth Weekend day 3
Slow starts are wonderful. No rush to get up today and then lots of coffee and some toast to prepare for more Whitby adventures.
The afternoon commenced with us all splitting up and going off doing our own thing, Gill & Andi departed first in search of jet, followed by Dan & Laura. Toni and I finished tarting ourselves up and then headed off in search of Pandemonium (the shop turned out to be just that so we moved on). Spent ages (and a fair amount) in Gutsy Gingers which is a lovely hippy/curios shop.
Sadly with it being Halloween weekend the streets were diluted with Joe public in fancy dress which was kind of annoying as it left us feeling like we had been downgraded to a cheap gimmick rather than living a way of life!
"GOTH IS FOR LIFE, NOT JUST FOR HALLOWEEN!"
Late lunch turned into dinner which was a return to Passage To India for more yummy food.
Andi opted to stay behind in the evening but the rest of us scooted off to The Spa to see the band. It was a fantastic night all out together with Toni and I bopping at the front during he bands and then joining Dan, Laura and Gill between sets.
THE LAST CRY
These guys were really good with a trad goth guitar sound and some Cure crossovers too. The singer was really a joy to watch as he was so expressive.
AUTUMN CANNIBALS
This mob are the side project of Jeff Diehm from The Last Cry (who appeared last night with Manuskript). It was a little bit different, a little bit mellow and a lotta bit very good. The majority of the band was members of Mercurine who also got to do a song with Jeff and the bass player taking a short break. Would love to hear more.
WAYNE HUSSEY
I love Wayne Hussey's work with the mission but sadly I was disappointed tonight. He started off doing some acoustic stuff (and Mission songs) but it all seemed a bit flat after the other bands. We decided to leave when he had trouble with the keyboard and with a long gap and some heckling Wayne told us "shut up, I'm trying to fix it"! Not what we wanted or needed to hear and was enough to make us walk out despite the promises of guest artists at some point during the set.
Went back to the apartment and nibbled on cheese and crackers before hitting the pit!
Despite the disappointment of Wayne it was an awesome night!

Rameshwaram Travel Guide
Rameshwaram is one of the most important pilgrimage destination in South India for both the Vaishnavaites and Shaivites. It is the same place where Lord Rama (popular mythological character of the epic Ramayana) worshiped Lord Shiva in order to wash away the sin of killing (the demon) Ravana. In the center of town is the famous Ramanathaswamy temple, one of the most popular temples in India. It is here you get the representation of actual India typing religion and devotion in miniature, with devotees including everyone from urbanites from Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata to colorfully clad Rajasthani rural people.
Tour Booking
Rameshwaram is on an island situated in Gulf of Munnar - one of the famous hill stations in South India, connected to Mandapam by one of the country's great engineering marvels – the Indira Gandhi Bridge, opened to public in 1988. The town was earlier an important ferry point linking India with Sri Lanka, but it stopped when the things got worst in Sri Lanka.
Know to Reach Rameswaram - Book Flight/Train
Attractions of Rameshwaram :-
Ramanathaswamy Temple :- Built in 17th century, Ramanathswamy temple is located close to Rameshwaram Island, popular as a temple of 1200 gigantic granite columns.
The main highlights of the temple are 54 meter tall gopuram (gate- tower), 1220 metres of elaborate corridors and the aureate columns rendering repute to the temple. Most surprisingly, water in all the 22 wells in the temple taste different.
Agnitheertham :- Close to the Ramanathswamy Temple is Agnitheertham, where Lord Ramam offered thanks to Lord Shiva.
Gandamadana Parvatham :- The evidence of Rama's feet placed on Chakra (wheel) can be traced at Gandamadana Parvatham which is located at the highest point on the island approximately 2kms from Rameshwaram.

Muslims from all around the world come to pay visit at Erwadi especially during the time of annual festival which is celebrated as a tribute to saint in the month of December.
New Small Ship Line offers Adventure Cruises
By guest blogger Steve NewmanSmall-ship line InnerSea Discoveries, sister company to American Safari Cruises, offers exhilarating cruises in Alaska in 2011 that go beyond the norm. Each of the four itineraries ranging from 7 to 14 nights is designed to take advantage of the wonder and wildlife that are hallmarks of the Alaskan wilderness. Rather than just being an observer, guests are invited to participate in daily included activities such as kayaking, hiking, stand-up paddle boarding, fishing, exploration by small water craft and more.
The numerous activities offered cater to all levels of abilities. Guests choose the pace that appeals to them, such as a tranquil paddle along the shoreline, a robust guided six-hour paddle and hike at Deep Cove or quietly exploring pristine waters such as Yes Bay by stand-up paddle board.
There are options galore, including just relaxing on board to watch for sea and wildlife with a favourite beverage in hand from the on-deck hot tub!
All itineraries feature a port call at the authentic town/communities of Wrangell or Klawock to mingle with the locals who look forward to sharing stories about their rugged history and native heritage.
Choose from four adventure itineraries:
- The 7-night South-east Alaska’s Inner Reaches Western Coves, Ketchikan to Juneau
- 7-night Alaska’s Inner Reaches Eastern Coves, Juneau to Ketchikan
- 14-night Alaska’s Inside Passage Ultimate Adventure (combined Western and Eastern Coves itineraries), from Juneau round-trip
- And the 14-night Wilderness Passages of Discovery, Seattle to Juneau or reverse.
The itineraries are purposely flexible as nature sets the schedule and the floor-show. If a pod of Humpback whales are frolicking in Frederick Sound, the ship makes time to stop and linger.
Travelling with a maximum of 49 like-minded guests aboard the expedition ships Wilderness Adventurer and Wilderness Discoverer, guests can expect exemplary service, delicious cuisine with an emphasis on local foods served family style or buffet depending on the day’s activities, a 1:3 crew to guest ratio and access to top notch gear. The on and off-ship experiences are accentuated by experienced naturalists who present topical information and serve as guides on excursions.
Prices for the 7-night cruises start at $1,795 per person, double occupancy, and include transfers and all activities, except the optional excursions available at a few select wilderness stops. Port charges of $167 per person per week, massages and spirits are extra.

Whitby Goth Weekend day 2
A nice gentle wake up today (rather than waking up hellishly early) and then some lovely coffee to kick start things.
The day began at The Spa where we traded in our tickets for wristbands and then committed Dan, Laura, Gill & Andi to the care of Loki for their WGW 'virgin' talk. Toni and I had a mooch round some stall and had a catch up with Nickie & Rob on the Devolution stall.
The next few hours were spent mooching and shopping. Managed to buy some nice things but also show some restraint as it's so easy to go crazy and spend a fortune.
Lots if walking and shopping later we headed back to the apartment to chill out ready for hitting the town later.
Gill & Andi opted out of The Spa and went to the Abbey for one of the late night tours. Dan, Laura, Toni and I went to the Indian restaurant over the road and had a gorgeous meal. It was every bit as good as the last time we visited.
Sadly, Laura decided she wasn't feeling up to hitting The Spa so we took her back to the apartment before heading off.
The usual fare was on offer at The Spa, good bands and lots of drinking and and more different varieties of goth than you could ever imagine. The band part was all a bit weird as Dan isn't good with crowds so Toni stayed with him at the back while I went up front to get some photos. I have to admit I was torn as I wanted to groove at the front but it didn't feel right with Toni at the back and as she didn't want to leave Dan on his own I then felt obliged to go back and sit with them which took a bit of the fun out of things for me. We kept getting chatted to by the guy from the Devolution stall who had never been to WGW before and so he seemed to like the fact that we were people he recognised and could talk to. It was also nice to see Stephanie Bowry there who I haven't seen since the sad demise of Evolution in Southend.
PRO-JEKT
I really enjoyed these guys. They warmed up the crowd nicely with their unique sound and left me a very happy bunny.
THE STRIPPER PROJECT
This was an interesting experience. They reminded me a lot of Carter USM especially with their witty lyrics. Not really 'goth' to me but enjoyable nonetheless.
MANUSKRIPT
Celebrating 20 years, this was one big party for Manuskript. They were really enjoying themselves and the crowd were putty in their hands. Wonderful covers of Pet Shop Boys 'It's A Sin' and Falco's 'Rock Me Amadeus' brought a smile to my face. They were joined on stage by Jeff Diehm ( of The Last Dance & Autumn Cannibals) which was a nice treat.
After The Spa I wanted to go out dancing but sadly we returned to the apartment. Overall it was a good start to proceedings and hopefully things will really take off from here!
Photos will appear on my return so please check back!

Honda’s newest Weapon in the Battle of the Minivans
The predictable wisdom is that the minivan is on life support, a victim of drive-by shootings by marauding gangs of part-truck, part-car crossover wagons. However some automakers now won’t pull the plug.While General Motors and Ford deserted the sliding-door minivan in latest years, Toyota has doubled down with a new version of its Sienna that went on sale in February.
The new model is somewhat longer, lower and wider. It not only seems more jaunty, with a body-side character line extending ahead from the boldly shaped rear side window, its slicker aerodynamics aid fuel economy.
Every 2011 Odysseys come with a 3.5-liter V-6 engine rated at 248 horsepower. This is an enhanced version of the previous engine, with 4 more horsepower and 5 pound-feet of torque. The V-6 can still run on only 3 or 4 of its 6 cylinders when full power isn’t required.
The innovative Odyssey comes in seven trim levels with prices ranging from $28,580 to $44,030.
The Odyssey’s chief engineer, Art St. Cyr, said the 6-speed wasn’t presented across the board because Honda wanted to hold down the price of the LX while imparting a “more premium” driving think to Touring models with a smoother, faster transmission.
