Tushar Amin, 33, Editor, FHM The first thing you must do is go to a very small place in Kala Ghoda called the Magna Book Gallery & Nutrition Centre, tel: (91-22) 2267 1763. It's an old café that most people don't even know about, on the balcony of a bookshop. You'll get very good herbal teas and sandwiches there, and it's the perfect meeting place before going out for the evening...
...cave near Jerusalem, where isotopic data showed rainfall and surface temperatures over many centuries, they concluded that the climate in the past 2,000 years could not have produced the patina on the ossuary. As they wrote with Professor Yuval Goren - another prosecution witness and professor of archaeology at Tel Aviv University - in the Journal of Archeological Science in 2004, "the patina covering the letters was artificially prepared, most probably with hot water, and deposited onto the underlying letters." The article states: "There is no evidence for the existence of water with such low d18O values in the area during...

"The findings in this study stand in complete contradiction to the assumptions presented by Ayalon and Bar-Matthews, and shed new light on the theory they presented to the court. They not only undercut their own arguments for determining that the patina on several items was not natural but rather...
...invitations he receives to the best parties, forever suffering from "the fear that there were better parties you'd not been invited to, a higher tier of pleasure that was forbidden to you." I countered my own lack of invites by fleeing to such sanctuaries as Osteria alla Bifora, tel: (39-41) 523 6119, where Franco, the irascible and rotund proprietor, buffs and polishes a gleaming red 70-year-old meat slicer with the care most men would pay a Ferrari. Or there's Osteria ai 4 Feri, tel: (39-41) 520 6978, where the favorite is spaghetti alle vongole...
