I have not had very good results when I have tried to duplicate some of the

not contain any Sherpa recipes. Perhaps someone could post or mail me some?
Mainly I am looking for a good Sherpa Stew - they made a marvellous one in
'the first lodge on the left in Dingboche!' I would also welcome a good
recipe for Daal Bhaat, Momos, etc.

You have to show proof of official money exchange to extend your visa.
If your original visa is long enough, you might not need to show any
proof.  I believe that the rule change applies to the minimum amount
of exchanged money per day that you must show.

Good day all.  I just got back from The High Mountains of Nepal; and
finally found out first hand on whats going on with visas and such.
        1) You now get a one month Visa when you arrive without one.
        2) You are allowed to trek for up to the end of a 31 day Visa
           without showing and money exchange proof.
        3) To trek longer; you must show proof of 20.00 US$ / DAY
        4) But...I used old reciepts(from the day I arrived even) as some
           of the amount I needed.
   eg. I needed 25 extra days, over the first month.  That was 500.00 $US
       But used 3 - different 100.00 $ reciepts ... plus a new 200.00
       reciept once I finished my first hike.  They took them all no 
       problem.  
Does this make any sense???  
        I had a great time and learned some more Nepali.  Any questions?
I'd love to converse about my trip. (its my 3 rd time over)

Aha, I see. The British Government won't restore a devolved government
to NI until the Unionists agree to power-sharing. However, any discussion
of power-sharing with Nationalists fuels Unionist fears of the
slippery slope of a united Ireland and feeds their intransigence; hence
it should be discouraged. 

I think I understand what you mean to say here (avoid extremist rethoric)
but in actuality you've painted yourself into a corner. This might explain
a certain lack of any progress in the NI situation.

Serfdom and such. I know that in many areas how feudalism came about was
because of people who for one reason or another could not defend them selves
against namely wandering brigades/tribes. Well they turned to person who had
some military strength.. Originally a person would "sell" there land to the now
feudal lord and recieve the land back as a fief.. In Ireland and a few others
places if a vassal terminated the agreement, he had to pay a fee. Same thing if
a lord terminated the agreement he owed the vassal some form of repreparation..
Well time went by and the vassal becuase serfs and they lost many of their
original rights, something about the rise of mercenaries and the seperation of
jobs.. Also it became just to expensive for many fyrd (or like arrangemnt) to
maintain having armor. Also it becamse cheaper just to charge money instead of
serfive and to buy mercenaries.. The money instead of services seems to be the
bases for modern taxes..

I was born in England and raised in the U.S. by an Irish mother. When I
tried to enlist in the Navy (U.S.), I had to denounce any allegiance to
England (tough decision :-) ). Recently I applied for and received an
Irish passport. I checked with the U.S. State Dept. before applying and
they said that I wouldn't have and problems with my U.S. citizenship.

There is no such things as a "Scottish passport". Scotland is

When I refer to the primary documentation, I do not mean the act itself.
The act can only tell us what was _legislated_ to occur, and not what
actually did occur.  This requires an examination of court records,

One of my new year's resolutions was to give up net news, but I need to ask 
a question.  What is the final day for the receipt of ballots in the 
NUI constituency of the Senate election?  I vaguely remeber it as being today,
which happens to be the day that my ballot paper arrived, forwarded from
home.  Typically it didn't arrive while I was there, but a lot of political
craps from a load of idiots had.  Perhaps I will be 'saved' the onerous
decision of choosing the lesser evil, by a very short time between the
sending of ballot papers and their required return date, a move to even
further disenfranchise those of us in exile for whatever reason.  Can
someone let me know ASAP so I can unleash the bile I am storing against
various evil organization like the US Government, US Media, and Aer Lingus,
on whatever gombeen organization is responsible for running the election,
the NUI I suppose???  (But bitching against not having a vote could be
considered as an endorsement for democracy????  More a question of fairness.
While I think the Senate is particularily useless, it seems unfair that
other NUI graduates would have votes because they live closer, but then 
most people don't have Senate votes, anyway.)

Sorry - I assumed as he were posting from Glasgow Michael'd be able to link
Inveraray and the Duke of Argyll, but his use of "so go figure"
suggests he's not local.

Inveraray is the seat of the Duke of Argyll, who is the high
heid yin of the Clan Campbell, who were on the government side in 1745.
( And earlier - this is where the chief of the MacDonalds of Glencoe was
supposed to swear loyalty to William and Mary in 1692, but arrived
too late)

Therefore we can assume he had plenty of military ties. Hence his piper
wearing tartan. However, the poor highlanders living thereabouts would
also have been of his clan, but the suggestion is still made that they
are not allowed to wear their preferred form of dress.

This is only a novel of course, and there are a few innacurate bits in
it that even I can spot. It does however suggest that in 1771 or
thereabouts, people were being prevented from wearing kilts and tartan by some
means or other. If this is not true, as Michael asserts, then it is
certainly not a "modern myth", as it was believed to be true only
25 years after the '45 rebellion.

Michael said earlier that the act prohibiting tartan wearing as stipulated
above was repealed "within a few decades". Any more info on that?


And Katherine's post suggests that this area may have been covered in
more than one Act of Parliament. Anyone know more?

I find when listening to the shortwave (or when travelling) it sometimes
takes a few minutes of listening to realize that the language being spoken
is English. This is not just due to accent but also depends on the amount
of local slang being used.

This is OK, I suppose, if the clan chieftain is reasonably proud of their
role and takes it seriously; but many clan chieftains deserted their clans
and their country hundreds of years ago.  The last I heard, over thirty clan
chieftains were London stockbrokers (*).  Don't take it seriously if they
don't.
