Jack Monroe was born in Southend on Sea, Essex, in 1988. She attended Westcliff High School For Girls in Essex, gaining 4 and a half A*-C GCSEs. She left at the age of 16 and worked full time in 'odd jobs', retail and coffee shops and waitressing, before joining Essex County Fire and Rescue Service in 2007 to work in their control room. She left in November 2011, unable to work the night shifts as a single parent to a then 20 month old son.
Jack started writing her blog, A Girl Called Jack, in February 2012, in response to a local councillor who claimed that 'druggies, drunks and single mums are ruining the High Street.' What started as a local politics blog developed into budget food and recipes, which were picked up with interest by the national press as she detailed living with her son on a food budget of just £10 a week. She describes the Daily Telegraph article by Xanthe Clay, 'My 49p Lunch With A Girl Called Jack', as the moment that changed her life.
Jack had a keen interest in cooking at school, but in her own words, 'apart from one D grade GCSE at the age of 16, I've never really had any formal food education. I just cook stuff, eat stuff and write about stuff.'
Her first cookbook, A Girl Called Jack, was published by Michael Joseph at Penguin in February 2014, and went straight to the top of the paperback charts. Her second cookbook, also published by Penguin, is due out in October 2014.
Jack is an active campaigner, fronting a petition with Unite, The Trussell Trust and The Mirror demanding politicians debate the causes of foodbank use and hunger in Britain. Within 4 days the petition had secured 100,000 signatures, and the debate was held in the House Of Commons three weeks later. She is an ambassador for Oxfam, from being a case study in their April 2013 report 'Walking The Breadline', to travelling to Tanzania to learn about women and agriculture.
Jack is an out lesbian woman, and in 2014 was listed in The Independent On Sunday's Pink List at number 19. She has appeared on the front cover of Diva magazine, and contributed to several issues. She came out publicly, in an article in the Huffington Post on London Pride day in 2013.
Jack writes a weekly recipe column for The Guardian, and regularly contributes as a political journalist to The Mirror, The Independent and The Guardian. She is a regular on the Sky News sofa, Channel 4 and BBC radio, commenting on food, politics, and current affairs. She recently went busking with Billy Bragg as part of The Guardian's 'Do Something' series.
She won the Fortnum and Mason Food and Drink Award for 'inspiring people to enjoy, experiment and explore food', the Red Magazine 'Hot Women' award for her blog, and the YMCAs 'Courage And Inspiration' award. She also featured in a Sainsburys television campaign in January 2014.
Jack lives in West London, with her partner and their two children.
"She is a breath of fresh air in the cooking world" – Nigel Slater.
"Every now and then a food writer with a fresh and authentic voice comes along, and Jack Monroe is that rare find. Her recipes are founded on the ideal of eating well on a budget, but there is nothing drab about her food: it's as vibrant as her voice; and A Girl Called Jack is full of food with bold flavour, recipes that beg to become part of your daily repertoire. This is a book with charm and brio, and a true helpmeet in the kitchen." – Nigella Lawson.
"Compelling, if sobering reading." – Lisa Markwell, The Independent on Sunday.
"A cross between Yvette Cooper and Delia Smith, with tattoos." – Richard Littlejohn, The Daily Mail.

From the young girl in high school who sang at Star for a Night….to where and what you are now – I am amazed and proud of your strength both physical and mental. I can say with certainty you inspire others xx
Jack is an inspiration and I wanna MARRY her…she's not only gorgeous she's bloody courageous – what a girl!
Hi Jack. Love your stuff. Keep up the good work and dont let the buggers ever get you down. Your life will turn out well, of that I have no doubt.
a) do you work?
b) do you pay taxes ?
c) do you pay your own rent / mortgage ?
Bet the answer is:
a) Not legally / declared.
b) No way.
c) No, housing benefit / child benefit etc
please don't think all people are the same. I am in Australia and I have a friend who has 2 kids, she is on single parents benefits as hubby left and pays nothing. She regularly has little food, no toilet paper, and struggles day to day. she does not ask for help and conceals her hardship. The benefits were reduced and she does have some work but she is sick with worry.
Wow, what a nice person you seem to be John. Your comment was totally irrelevant, so I'm guessing you're a troll, but needed to let you know that your sort of nasty, presumptous and damning attitude towards unemployed people and benefit recipients doesn't do any good for anyone. There are lots of people with mental health problems and various other issues that make gaining and maintaing employment very difficult, which is in turn made harder by stigma and black and white thinking. There is nowhere near enough genuine support to actually help people back into work, and I know people who have desperately wanted to get out of unemployment and had to deal with a hell of a lot of guilt and depression because of it, but received no health or practical support to overcome the barriers they were facing.
Again, your comment on this great website is totally unfounded and rude, and I couldn't just let it lie there, despite the fact that this discussion has nothing to do with Jack.
Jack: Thanks so much for your great work.
well said Ian and Jack chin up trolls belong under a bridge
Loved your inspiring article in the Evening Echo. Picked up a copy in Ambleside College Cafe.Very inspiring and real 'grassroots' understanding of life. I predict you are on the verge of a new Journalistic career, as well as giving Talks to Young Mums'groups and the like. Am going to photocopy your article and tell others about your website. Well done Jack!
I read an article about you in The Telegraph today. I believe that you have a good career in journalism (and related fields ) ahead of you. Well done for being perceptive, creative and determined. I don't know which I am most impressed with – your cooking and budgetary skills or your awareness and writing skills. Anyway, you've made my day with your enterprise and I will read your blog whenever I get the time.
Jack of all trades – tip top.
Two words 'go girl'. Saw you on tv this morning, very impressed with your outlook and attitude. I will be following your blogs from now on.
I also saw you on the news this morning. You are a real inspiration to other young people out there. Really love your 'can do' attitude. Looking forward to trying out your recipes even although i am not on a tight budget – they looked yummy!
Absolutely inspired by your feature on bbc Breakfast. I'm going to try your cooking for a week. You are great.
Same here.
I have been this broke when I was young growing up with my single parent Mum and not quite so, on recent occasions. I think you highlighting, through various medias, poverty in the UK is fantastic and I applaud you for taking the bit between your teeth and getting it out there!
New follower here!
With respect

Wow- your T.V. interview moved me to tears – my 'children' are your age/generation and you are an inspiration – hope you (and your little boy) have a lovely life; we have tried the lentil burgers and they were wonderful.. Everything that goes around comes around – and you and many others of your generation are going back to 'real' cooking – well done. Debbie
Our children provide us with our strength and inspiration. Looks like you you have harnessed yours wisely. Well done and best wishes for your very bright future. Great blog- can't wait to get started on the recipes.
I just wanted to say I think your blog and recipes in particular are brilliant! Money is always tight for me so I will definitely be trying out some of your recipes! I also happen to work in a supermarket so I am lucky in the way I will get 10% off as well! Thanks again, I think a lot of people in Britain especially could learn from you!
Please email me and I'll give you my phone number. I live in Southend too and I'd really like to help you out with some weekly foodshopping. We could meet at sainsburys in Southend.
Sarah x
Your son is going to grow up to be an amazing man with a role model such as yourself, showing him drive, determination and positive thinking ! Amazing what you've achieved ! Inspiring !
I understand that you've got a job now as a reporter, and a book deal. WELL DONE. The next step (if you're up for it) is to get elected as a MP. Heaven knows this country needs honorable representatives who've actually HAD a job outside of politics – and have tasted the utter despair & degradation of being branded scroungers by the weak minded people who've been brainwashed by this governments propaganda machine. Speaking of propaganda, if you want an insight into the ideology of this gov & it's continual vilification of the weak, unemployed, disabled etc then read the study by Dr Mark Mostert, it's titled "Useless eaters", Here's the web address – http://www.regent.edu/acad/schedu/uselesseaters/today.html
I'm sure you'll find it disturbing – I did !!
Amazing recipes – so inspired – a big big thank you Jack
Jack, you are an amazing woman. I am a volunteer for The Foodbank and I know the hardship that so many people are going though. It makes me so mad when the recipients of food parcels are described as wasters and scroungers because I know that the vast majority of them are just like you, deperate for work or even have a job but so badly paid they cannot manage their rent and bills as well as food.
Please keep going and if you do stand for Parliament I would vote for you.
Jack, you are truly inspirational. I like to think that I'm pretty good at rustling something up from bits left in the fridge, but you are doing it much better, on a budget much less than mine. Best of luck in the future – I would love to see you as an MP!
I heard about your blog at a WI meeting and don't often use the Internet but wanted to tell you how wonderful your recipes and how inspiring you must be for many many peoplr
Wow fantastic blog thanks for sharing this blog.I am really impressed for this site.Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful wonderful stuff. Well done you for being so proactive and positive throughout all the trials you've been through. I'm sure you will keep moving onwards and upwards Jack!
Hi jack I am a worn out taxi driver in Liverpool I want you for prime mine roster the merger cat John good luck
Wow! girl, you are truly inspirational!
Jack – I've only just discovered you after getting myself back into some sort of financial normality (by which I mean lots of debt but at least they are now being paid off in comparison to last year when I couldn't see a light at the end of it).
I'm currently sitting on the sofa, in my onesie feeling poorly so going to make the most of it and delve into your treasure trove of recipes and write them into my cook book ready for shopping on a budget this weekend.
Thank you so much for all your hard work and for making some incredible (albeit why-didn't-i-think-of-that) recipes! Excited! X
Thankyou for leading by example, all single parents are not the same. I, like you get mad at the constant negativity about single parents – It is exactly the same here in Oz.
I was feeling so low today finding myself in a similar situation and looking after my teenage son. As the not so unusual single Dad I find it hard to make ends meet but Jack your words have inspired me that no matter how much others don't care I do and will use you as my inspiration
Much love thoughts and respect
D x
Hi Jack you are very inspirational and very brave and i really believe you have a real good chance to change the views of so many people in regards to what is important about the situation you found your self in. And surviving on less, there is far to much convenience which costs a fortune only to go into the profit of some fat cat . LOOK WHERE THATS GETING US .. Good luck with every thing. paul Dodsworth. France.
You deserve far more reconigtion that you think –
Simply amzaing
Hey Jack, I didn't know about your blog or books before but for some reason watched question time last night for first time in months. and thought your comments fresh and poignant. Thanks!
Tried Tradgedy Mash, bought your book and saw you on Question Time all on the same day. Thanks for all!
Working as a volunteer with families in similar circumstances to those you describe has been a real eye opener to me in my comfortable existence. I have learned all about benefit gaps, bailiffs and how to survive for 6-10 weeks with no income without resorting to crime. Every day is a struggle for some families and yet they find the strength to keep going and often the compassion to help others too. I found your work today and felt very inspired – thank you. A copy of your book already on my Kindle and will be in the hands of 'my' mums shortly.
I have been reading your column in the Guardian since you began.
I am a pensioner in fairly comfortable circumstances now, but 40 – 50 years ago bringing up a family would have welcomed such help! And I still find your recipes useful and tasty regardless of cost. Keep it up – your ideas are needed.
Jack, just wanted to say you were great on question time! You are an inspiration! Hope you go from strength to strength, I definately hope you do look at going into politics, this country needs strong sensible people like you to tell it like it is. But keep on doing what you're doing, be happy x
At last! Someone talking real sense on QT ……. normally I head off to bed, leaving my husband shouting at the panel, but luckily I hung around and was rewarded by your honest, incisive take on how life really IS for many people in 21st century Britain. I had never heard of you till then Jack, but will be following your journey. By chance ( I think!), I was shopping in Sainsbury's last night and spotted your book and spent the rest of the evening reading it and drooling over the fantastic recipes. My husband, like me, was chastened and moved by Hunger Hurts and HH twelve months on.
You are a remarkable young woman and I look forward to you seeing and hearing much more about you in the public arena! You have given great hope to a 63 year old woman and a 77 year old man in rural Shropshire ……. keep it up!!!
My youngest daughter is working her way through a masters in London and struggling financially – she asked me for some economical recipes – in the next couple of days I heard Jack being interviewed on radio 2 about her new book "a girl calledJack" it was amazing. I bought the book for youngest daughter but after reading it also ordered it for myself, eldest daughter read it and loved it so I bought if for her too – next was second son "get me that book Mum it's great"' we all love it, not just for the fabulous recipes not just for the cheap meals but because jack is refreshing, interesting, plausible and real – thank you
Hi Jack, when can we order your next book? Deirdre I.O M
Hello Jack,
I am recently preparing for my cooking GCSEs and I think you are a massive inspiration for the recipes that I do :)
The peach and lentil curry is delicious!
you changed our life- thank you xx
Wish i could find some articulate way to let you know exactly how much you mean to so many people. You have made those weeks (or months) when i am scrabbling around the backs of empty cupboards looking for an interesting way to feed two toddlers something i can be proud of. Reading your story shows us that struggling isn't something to be ashamed of but something that proves what we are really made of. Love you so much and i hope you get all the happiness you deserve.
You are so inspiring. I used to be a single parent . I was raised well but ended up a single parent with very little support. My life changed. I vowed to bring my child up in a loving home but there were times I'd have to wear sandals in the autumn (I couldn't afford boots as my heel broke) all money I had went on bills and making sure my daughter was okay. I struggled for years . As I was nicely spoken , dressed nicely (my clothes came from second hand stores too ) people assumed I was living a good life. I even had a neighbour in the street where I rented a flat , think I was a nanny ! People's assumptions of others can be so wrong. They didn't see me cry when I couldn't afford bread and my then three year old emptied her pennies from her money box to help us eat. I'm now happily married to an amazing man. I have another child and gone are the days where I struggle to feed and clothe my family. However the reality of the struggle makes me grateful everyday for what I have now. People should stop judging and maybe realize life isn't black and white. You are amazing Jack.
I read about your book in a Danish paper and immediately ordered a copy. I am really impressed both of your own story, and your engangement in fighting against food poverty both the political way and with your lovely recepies, which are delicate and simple to prepare. Plus your sensible advice at the end of the book. I hope your bext book will be in the same line. You are greatly inspiring.
How do you manage to grow coriander and parsley in a window sill? When I try, they look more than sad within no time. So some good advice would be appreciated.
All the best. Trine, Denmark
You are an amazing human being. Your intelligence and personnality are rare! I am a foreign girl in london, trying to make sense of the low paid job/expensive rent system and your blog is an inspiration.
Dear Jack
Borrowed your book of my wonderful librarian Lillan in our mobile library yesterday.
Cried my way through Hunger Hurt today.
Was a single mother when my son was little. We could always afford to eat, but rarely afford meat. And I dreaded dental bills and other expensive things that could topple our budget.
Mentally I was helped because the Simple-livning movement came to Denmark and I could say to myself; "It is much better for the environment that I can not buy anything."
Hope it's okay that I'm writing about your book and your blog on det-enkle-liv.dk which is a blog about living simple?
Thank you for your amazing inspiration – I wanted to sign up as a volunteer for Mødrehjælpen – which helps single parents in DK, although I have promised myself not to do more volunteer work after 32 years of faithful service:-) But I can always run down and give them something to help out.
All the best!
I really can't think of anything to add to the numerous positive comments on here about you, except to say that this is the first time i have read a cookery book and been truly excited by it. And i am a middle aged man who struggles to cook decent basic food. I have picked out 10 recipes from your first book and will give them a go. Keep up the good work and stay true to yourself.
I now have both books of yours and have spent a lot of time telling people about you and your recipes. Full of good advice and great recipes saves a lot of money on shopping. Keep it up!
Heard your interview on radio 2 drive time show earlier tonight and thought,way to go girl . Will buy both your books at the weekend for a gift to my nephew who is from a single parent home and has gone off to university.Well done
Just read your Tweets regarding Cameron, and thought greatest of respect to you for your direct approach, I'm with you all the way, ignore the fools, and keep saying it as it is.

Pilates is the type of workout that changes the way you feel and think about how you move. Your current workout, posture, walking habits, and the way you move for your work and house projects will TOTALLY feel different. You will move better and not just exercise for the sake of exercise. You achieve so much more.
Pilates is structured to enhance your brain-body coordination while increasing flexibility, strength, posture and balance. You tone-up, shrink your waist, decrease aches and pain, decrease stress and overall improve your health. Those that are consistent with Pilates sessions see the results in how they look and feel, have less pain in neck, back, shoulders, etc. because they have better posture and alignment and overall just feel they have new energy and strength!
Not all Pilates classes are created equal. It is important to know who is teaching your classes and how they teach. It is important that you are being corrected in your movement patterns. Joseph Pilates intended Pilates to be a "lifestyle" that enhances all aspects of your life. It is key to learn Pilates correctly, in the correct form and advance as your body is ready. We have programs available for all levels and abilities to start changing the way you feel and move. Moving correctly keeps your joints healthier and decreases the strain on muscles and tendons.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - So what do you gift the person who has everything?In that person's honor, you could give to someone who doesn't have much.The 22nd annual Alternative Christmas Fair, hosted by Grand Valley Peace and Justice, offers people an opportunity to give the gift of giving. It's a festive event with free cookies and coffee, live piano music throughout the day, and colorful and interesting booths describing each of the projects.For example, a $5 donation buys a home-cooked meal for a migrant farmworker, or a lesson in English as a second language at Child and Migrant Services in Palisade. A $10 donation buys a box of nails for Habitat for Humanity of Mesa County. Fifty bucks pays for a dental visit for one adult at Marillac Clinic - or you can purchase a share for $10.Or, if you're thinking globally, $30 provides five books for a school or library in Nicaragua. In Vietnam, $17 will buy a study lamp and school books for a child. Eighty-two dollars in Haiti will buy pharmacy supplies and antibiotics to treat malaria, gastro-intestinal illness and vaccinations.Shoppers receive a customized holiday card for each donation, that tells the person about the gift made in their honor.There are also small items that people can purchase at the event.The locally-based organization Light Gives Heat will sell handmade crafts from Uganda. Free trade coffee and chocolate sales will benefit the Sheepherders' Project and Grand Valley Peace and Justice, respectively. Several local nonprofit organizations are decorating Christmas trees to sell via silent auction. Proceeds from the Christmas tree sales will go toward participating organizations: Karis (the House for homeless teens), Community Food Bank, Roice-Hurst Animal Society, Light Gives Heat, Center for Independence, Homeward Bound, Hispanic Affairs Project, Colorado DiscoverAbility, and Habitat for Humanity of Mesa County.The Catholic Church will sell bricks from the historic St. Joseph Parish Hall, which was demolished last week due to structural problems beyond repair. The bricks come with an engraving of your choice, either "St. Joseph Parish, 1906-2012," or your name or someone else's you wish to honor. The bricks will become part of a "donor wall" on the new addition to the church.Fifty local, national or international nonprofit organizations will be represented at the fair.

DreamWorks Animation signed an agreement to open indoor theme parks in Russia as the studio works to expand beyond its main feature-film business.
Regions Group of Cos., a Russian developer and manager of retail properties, will design, build and run the parks in St. Petersburg, Moscow and Yekaterinburg, DreamWorks Animation said Friday in a statement. They are scheduled to open in 2015.
DreamWorks Animation, producer of the "Madagascar" films, is seeking growth opportunities outside the mature film and DVD businesses. The company's Oriental DreamWorks venture announced plans in August to invest more than 20 billion yuan ($3.1 billion) to build an entertainment center in Shanghai to rival New York's Broadway.
The Russian theme parks each will feature mixed-use theaters, a hotel and a shopping area with 11,000 parking spaces, the companies said in the statement. They will be built around DreamWorks Animation characters from films including "Shrek" and "Madagascar," and rise as high as 13 stories.
Glendale-based DreamWorks Animation is scheduled to report fourth-quarter results Feb. 26.
Its stock rose almost 3 percent to $17.39 in New York on Friday. The stock had gained 2.2 percent this year compared with a 6.7 percent advance for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.

BETTY J. GOULD, Thurston County Clerk
Betty was elected as Thurston County Clerk in 1990 after more than 25 years as a paralegal, office manager and financial manager for law firms in Olympia.
Betty attended Centralia College and became a certified paralegal through the National Association of Paralegals in 1978. She has continued to enhance her education, including receiving her Certification as a County Official from the School of Public Affairs at the University of Washington. She has also completed the Judicial Education Leadership Institute (JELI) through the Administrative Office of the Courts.
Betty is a member of the Washington Association of County Officials (WACO), the National Association of County Officials (NACO), the National Association of Court Management (NACM), and the Washington State Association of County Clerks (WSACC).
Betty has served as the President of the state Clerks Association for six years. In 2000 and 2011, Betty was honored by the Clerks Association by being selected Clerk of the Year by the other 38 County Clerks. The Clerks Association has also recognized Betty for her work with the Legislature on issues that directly affect the court and Clerks Offices.
Betty shares her vision for the Courts by speaking and working with court staff and administrators across the state, sharing processes and procedures she has created. She also had the honor of traveling to Missouri to assist the state in designing a training program for County Clerks and was part of the State team that traveled to Arizona to work on issues of self represented litigants.
Betty's community means a lot to her. She has lived in Thurston County for her entire life. Her commitment to this community is to continue to improve the court processes so that "access to justice" for all those who need the assistance of the court is not just a convenient phrase, but reality.

I first got turned onto green monsters—smoothies made with spinach or kale—like most people did, through Angela at Oh She Glows.
When I first saw her make one, I had one of those light bulb moments. You know, the moment when you say, "Oh my gosh, why didn't I think of that?"
I knew I needed to get more greens in my life, but plowing through a huge bowl of spinach with dinner was not making for a happy Cass. I love veggies and all, but no one wants to eat a mountain of spinach. It never even occurred to me to put my greens in a smoothie and mask them with my favorite delicious fruits!
Genius, Angela! Genius!
Now I've been on the green monster bandwagon for over a year. Whenever I feel under-the-weather or low on energy, I immediately down a green monster and I feel much better. I'm sure a lot of it is psychosomatic, after all, just knowing that you are drinking cups and cups of greens makes you feel like Popeye. But a lot of it is also getting my body what it needs in a delicious way!
I haven't had quite the results Angela boasts. She says she has stronger hair and nails and better skin. I wouldn't say green monsters have transformed me that much, but they have definitely been an important addition to my superfood arsenal!
My Classic Green Monster
Now, it should be said, I often vary from this recipe. I add other fruits, different greens and different types of milk and powder. But this is the base! If you are new to green smoothies, try this out. I promise you'll be hooked. A lot of green monster recipes call for frozen bananas, but I actually don't love the taste of frozen bananas. Cut out the ice if you decide to use them.
1 cup sweetened vanilla almond milk
1 tbsp. chia seeds
1 tbsp. ground flax seed
1 banana
1 handful spinach
1-2 leaves kale, removed from stem and torn into pieces
A few cubes of ice (just to cool it down)
Place ingredients in a blender in the order they are listed (to help reduce splash-up). Blend on high until everything is smooth and a brilliant, awesome green color. This normally takes 3-5 minutes on my blender, but if you have a Vita-Mix, I'm sure it takes almost no time at all. Make sure you don't have any chunks of greens. Chewing a green monster is not pleasant.

Lol@chewing a green monster… unpleasant!
Totally unpleasant. I need a better blender!
I tried my hand at almond milk once… it left me with a scratchy-feeling, tight throat every time I drank it I'm not allergic to nuts, but it looks like I may me mildly allergic to almond milk (maybe all nut milks?).
I've never tried a green smoothie with kale, but I've had my share of spinach ones. I love using frozen cherries in it!
Hmmm, well rice milk or soy milk would also work. So would regular cow's milk, but I really like the vanilla flavor of the nut milks.
I was on a "only eat salad for dinner" kick a couple of years ago. I had spinach salad each night for several months and while I don't know if my hail and nails were healthier, I did notice that they started growing faster, which I thought was a cool side effect.
I wonder what it is in spinach that does that? Google time!
Soooo yummy! I make mine with frozen berries all the time, which makes it naturally sweeter and frostier so you don't have to use ice cubes (my blender complains about ice cubes).

Okay for now that is screw all those other engines and games that aren't even out yet no matter how good they look, sound and are said to be. Tribes 2....we have all seen the pictures for a year now and the game is finally out. Okay so you need a good Video Card to see the quality but still what about its Engine vs all the others? It is damn good from what I can see and they claim Unreal II is 100x better then the first (still hard to believe its not 100% instead) but what about Tribes 2? It looks at least 75x better then Unreal 1 did.

Kevin Magnussen has drawn the line under his collision with Felipe Massa in Germany and insists he's not interested in clear-the-air talks.
Williams driver Massa has made a lot of noise in the past week after he and Magnussen crashed out at the first corner at Hockenheim.
First he criticised the Dane for being reckless and then he lashed out at the stewards after it emerged they were investigating him and not the McLaren driver over the incident.
"If the stewards are thinking like that, I don't know who they are taking to be stewards," the Brazilian said.
He also said he would like to take time out to have a word with Magnussen, who has received the backing from his McLaren team, but the rookie insists he's moved past the incident.
Asked whether it was worth talking to Massa, Magnussen replied: "No, it's done. We are here in Hungary and not in Germany any more.
"It happened and it's good no-one got hurt, especially him because he was on his roof and it looked bad. The most important thing is he's all right.
"Whoever was at fault is not really something I get in to. It's up to the stewards to judge and he was reported to the stewards, I wasn't.
"From their view I didn't do anything wrong."
Despite the stewards' report, Massa insisted Magnussen turned into him, but the Dane took a different view.
"What I did was get a great launch, got on the inside of Valtteri Bottas (Massa's team-mate), but not quite enough to have him in the corner," added Magnussen.
"Obviously I had to back out of that and then it (the accident) happened. I'm not sure I would have done anything different.
"You learn from these things and if it's your fault or not it's still experience and something you remember."

Iowa Department of Natural Resources officials said a boil advisory has now been lifted for the city of Attica.
A water main break was reported Monday, triggering the advisory. The break did not affect customers in nearby Pershing.
Once water pressure was restored, the DNR and the city conducted testing to make sure drinking water was free of bacteria.
Officials said all water samples tested absent for bacteria Thursday.

Linda kachelmeier, Composer
Linda kachelmeier, Composer
Music is and has always been an organic part of my identity, and I have found that creating music is a natural and necessary extension of that. I work primarily with our first and most versatile instrument: the voice. My artistic philosophy is rooted in the melding of text and music, articulation and expression. The words must express the music and the music must in turn express the words in order for it to be complete. My unique gifts of being a professional singer, instrumentalist, conductor, and an amateur poet intertwine in my compositions. I challenge myself to be open to the music that comes to me without judging or editing it right away. I find that the result stays closer to the core of my creative voice and shapes my evolving style. Last, and perhaps most important, . . .

LoCash Cowboys, 'Best Seat in the House' [Listen]
Average Joe's Entertainment
Fans of the LoCash Cowboys may do a double-take when the duo's new single begins. 'Best Seat in the House' is Chris Lucas' tribute to his late father, and it's more emotional than the party rockers have ever been. Dads may weep during this ballad.

The melancholic British soul singer Sampha is poised to have a big year, but he's already put together an impressive body of work — that much is clear from the mix London DJ/producer the Last Skeptik just released. The playlist features a whopping 23 Sampha tracks including multiple collaborations with SBTRKT, Drake, and Jessie Ware, all stitched together with a chilled out backbeat I could imagine at a laid back Finsbury Park late-night hangout. Check it out at Noisey.
Sampha is expected to release his debut full-length this year via Young Turks. The Last Skeptik's Thanks For Trying is out now via BBE.

I am 18 years old and I have been going to Pine lake Manor since I was born- my mother and Aunt went when they were younger. I have made the best friends of my life there, and I wouldn't trade any summer at PLM for the world. Missing a year is just not an option. Everyone is so friendly that it's almost like a second home for me. It's a wonderful place to bring the family; everything you need is only footsteps away. There is no doubt that we will all bring our children there and keep the tradition of our week alive for years to come!

I have been going to Pine Lake Manor for 25 years I now bring my children there. It is a very family orientated place that we all look forward to going to every year. I would pass up a free trip to the Caribbean if it meant I had to miss a year at Pine Lake. The food is great the hospitality is overwhelming and the accommodations are more than perfect. I will have my children bring there children here and so on.

Ary named preseason All-Ohio
August 1, 2013
Senior defensive tackle Donnie Ary was named preseason All-Ohio by OhioCollegeFootball.com.
Wilmington College senior defensive tackle Donnie Ary has been named preseason All-Ohio by OhioCollegeFootball.com, the website announced today (August 1).
Ary (Jamestown, OH/Greeneview) was named second-team All-Ohio Athletic Conference for the second consecutive season last year. He led all Wilmington defensive linemen with 54 tackles and was second with 12 tackles for loss. His ability to absorb and defeat constant double-teams helped free up linebackers Gunner Calhoun, Jason Phillips and Nick Williams to make more plays.
"It's a well deserved honor," said head coach Stacey Hairston. "We are expecting a lot out of him. He is our leader on defense, and runs the defensive line. It's great for him, and hopefully there are many more to come."
Wilmington opens the 2013 campaign 1:30 p.m. September 7 by hosting Olivet College.

Wait, you complain endlessly about everything and now we find out that you never even have to get into a cold car? We need to rename this blog "1% Problems"ReplyDelete
I've had the car for 3 months...it hasn't been cold.Delete
I know, seriously, am I supposed to feel bad for you because you are home working while lounging in your sweats all comfortable?Delete
I can relate - I feel like I'm always working when Christian is home/drinking a cocktail/sleeping. I don't know what I would have to do if I had to be working AND wear real clothes.Delete
Everyone is more trustworthy if I find out they are a runner. Doctors, vets, neighbors, etc. It's probably not smart. You should research what percentage of criminals are actually runners.ReplyDelete
Our vet isn't a runner (but he's a cute little irishman, so that's pretty fun, too), but seriously, every time I'm in the office, I end up in a waiting room full of runners. Something about active people and dog owners?ReplyDelete
Bungee and my Bogie would be fast friends. Mine's a total mess too! Last night I went for a run and another dog tried to attack me and he got between me and that dog, THEN the dog went after him and he ran away as fast as he could yelping. I felt horrible for him. It was almost hysterical because the dog trying to attack me was a chihuahua and Bogie is half pit bull! :) Hope Bungee girl get to feeling better!ReplyDelete
In HS, my mom once bribed me with a sweater to get me to take a blood test to find out if I had mono (I did). I definitely trust runners more. Especially after finding out how lame triathletes are.ReplyDelete
Aww poor Bungee! Trips to the vet suck! Hope she's feeling better.
Yep, I definitely trust runners more.
I definitely think that I trust runners more, which is very weird when I say it but it's true. Something just seems more real. I am glad Bungee is feeling better.ReplyDelete
I am so jealous of that dinosaur Nylabone. I've been wanting to get Rufus one to match his collar, but Amazon doesn't seem to guarantee your choice of shapes.ReplyDelete
I'm going to go so far as to say that I don't trust people who are not runners.ReplyDelete

As what they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day
nice tips butwhatever you do for more than 5 months to lose weight
Valuable Tips!
Is it better to eat something unhealthy in the morning rather than eat nothing at all or would it be wise just not to eat anything if all you have is junk food in your house.
A diagnosis of kidney disease means more doctor visits, visits to doctors, various lab tests, changes in diet and the likelihood of dialysis or even a kidney transplant in the future, should the disease progress far enough.
Diet and medications can hold this off, perhaps even indefinitely, which shows how very important diet is in maintaining health. Listening to the advice of a nutritionist is supremely important for a kidney patient in any stage of the disease. Sometimes this can slow or even stop the disease from advancing, but in some people, nothing they can do will stop the disease from becoming more serious.
Thanks for the info NYC. NYC is right and with regards to which food we should eat in the morning. There are many kinds of food we can eat in the morning but, we should have the right amount and nutrition. For me, I can suggest to all that we should eat more food which are rich in protein than carbs. As I know, the more we eat carbohydrates the more we get hungry and the it develops fats and cholesterol.
Hey!!! I know that breakfast is the most important part of the meal, but I don't have the appetite to eat during that time...can anyone here give me appetizing meal for breakfast????????
Also for the healthy lifestyle we need to eat healthy, healthy eating habits can make you healthy. Unhealthy foods are not good for the health it can lead to obesity and increases the chance of heart attack.
I have been on oats and fruits for breakfast lately and i think it helps to reduce my weight.
skipping breakfast is a big NO NO. because you are disrupting your metabolism cycle, the more you skip your breakfast the more the metabolism goes sluggish, and turning all your excess calories into fats. exercise is the best way to make your metabolism go back to its normal state, but you need regular exercise to do these. there are also diets that can increase you metabolism, and there are also supplements that can make you metabolism goes back to normal, those are for the people that don't have time to exercise, but if you do have time, exercise is still the best, keeping your cells oxygenated, thus avoiding premature cell destruction and cell aging. stay healthy.
Hi, sometimes i find that i cant eat breakfast when i have eaten late the previous day, so i have sometimes eaten a takeaway (naughty i know) at like 8.30pm and then the next morning im not hungry so i try to eat my meal before 7pm now so that your body can digest properly and in good time before you lay down in bed.
But to answer your question, you could try mixed peices of fruit with some yoghurt in a bowl which you might be able to manage first thing, or what about sweet porridge (golden syrup oats) they will keep you fuller for longer. OR...wholemeal toast?? hope this helps Fish
i know everyone knows breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but seriously, it helps you concentrate throughout the morning and will reduce your need to snack heavily mid-morning.
if your some-one that cant eat first thing on a morn then try to give yourself a good half hour, at least, from getting out of bed (so maybe shower etc) then have breakfast you may find you can enjoy it better...try sweeter things too, they may be more appealing to you so fruit diced up (your choice) in to a bowl and yoghurt poured over, this will pick you up with energy...banana's release energy slow, much like porridge or oats, golden syrup flavour really is delicious...
any way hope this is of good news to many...enjoy mornings... Fish
wow! very nice tips
nice tips
thanks for shearing these beautiful tips

60th Annual Report on Laundry
Globalizing Laundry
by David Simpson, Contributing Editor
Laundry appliance producers are using energy efficiency, quietness, and improved appearance to boost their brands and models around the world.
Fisher & Paykel Appliances' laundry line includes an efficient top-load washer and a unique top-load dryer. The AquaSmart clothes washer features a low-profile agitator, automatic water level selection, and temperature sensing for the most efficient use of detergent. According to the Consortium for Energy Efficiency, a nonprofit public benefits corporation, the washer falls into a category that means it saves at least 341 kWh of energy per year annually over a washer meeting the 2007 U.S. federal standard.
The AeroSmart large-capacity dryer has a drum that tumbles in forward and reverse, which is said to reduce creasing and tangling. The dryer is designed with a self-cleaning lint screen and a lint reservoir that does not have to be emptied for up to 15 cycles.
Quietness is another important multinational design goal. More homes have laundry appliances sited close to living areas than in the past, and washer and dryer noise is less tolerated by consumers.
"The trend toward moving the laundry closer to the living areas of the home seems to be happening in all our markets," observes Scott Davies, product manager at Fisher & Paykel. "Our customers want good-looking products that are quiet enough to use at night without waking the family."
As Davies implies, more-prominent locations for laundry appliances are encouraging OEM efforts to add punch to appearance. Producers have designed control panels that are sleeker and more eye-catching. They have added bright colors, chrome, and stainless steel for panels or trim. Washers and dryers have often been designed to be a matched pair, with coordinated appearance. They are now sometimes matched in terms of function, as well, with drying cycles timed to be the same length as wash times.
Despite these near-universal laundry appliance design trends, regional preferences add variety to the market. In North America, larger capacity is more important than elsewhere. Different regions and countries have preferences on top-loading versus front-loading washers. Manufacturers also continue to cater to specialty appliance needs with products like nontumble dryer cabinets, combination washer/dryers, and even top-load tumble dryers.
A Big Difference
With a 3.8-cu-ft stainless wash basket and 7.0-cu-ft dryer drum, this GE front-load laundry pair is said to be big enough to handle 23 full-size bath towels. The washer exceeds 2007 Energy Star guidelines by 16%.
Some newer kids on the block, namely front-loaders, are making big noises about capacity. Whirlpool Corp. points out that front-loading washers have a capacity advantage since they do not require an agitator like conventional top loaders. This permits consumers to fit more clothes in the cavity. The company says its Duet washer is 23% larger than a conventional top-loading machine, with an equivalent capacity of 3.8 cu ft.
Meanwhile, at this year's Kitchen/Bath Industry Show (K/BIS), LG Electronics USA showed a line of washers with capacities of 3.5 cu ft and 3.83 cu ft, and a 4.0-cu-ft model that LG says is the largest front-load washer available for home use.
Front-loader capacity of 3.5 cu ft is one of the features of the Frigidaire Affinity line, from Electrolux Home Products in the United States. Besides observing a consumer desire for large capacity, "Electrolux research confirms a growing trend toward larger and more-visible laundry rooms or areas in today's homes," says Dean Brindle, product manager. "The Affinity design was fashioned with smooth, clean, contemporary lines that add a touch of elegance to the laundry." In addition, the company added three colors—arctic white, glacier blue, and black diamond.
BSH Home Appliances provides both 27-in.-wide and 24-in.-wide washer models in North America. "Global platforms are preferred from the manufacturing and engineering point of view," points out Gotthard von Hundt, director, product management. "However, in order to best serve the needs of our local customers, we must have regional platforms. For example, the 27-in.-wide front-load laundry with their capacity is what the U.S. customer wants. In Europe, the consumer is mainly purchasing 24-in.-wide units. Regional platforms give us the opportunity to offer products tailored to the needs of the U.S. consumer. Nevertheless, innovations may be the same in 27-in. and 24-in. platforms."
Efficiency Programs
Electricity and water resources are limited, and it is in the public interest to minimize resource use while maintaining or improving washer and dryer functions. The European Union, the United States, Australia, and several other markets have programs that provide point-of-sale and media in-formation about energy efficiency and, sometimes, performance. While more-efficient appliances often come at a higher price than their less-efficient competition, electricity and water savings may offset the price. In some areas, consumer purchases are subsidized by rebates.
In the United States, a two-tiered system is in place. A federally mandated minimum efficiency level is required for washers. The level was raised in March from a 1.04 Modified Energy Factor (MEF) to a 1.26 level. According to a U.S. consumer product-testing magazine, some agitator models are having a hard time maintaining good washing performance while meeting the new minimums.
The voluntary Energy Star program has set a higher level of 1.72 MEF as of Jan. 1, 2008. Energy Star washers were 14% of the market in 2002, but grew to 38% in 2006, according to the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM).
Much of the increase in Energy Star shipments has been because of the growth of front-loading washing machines. These are usually more efficient than conventional top loaders. AHAM reports that shipments of front loaders grew from 9% in 2001 to 29% in 2006. In a market that has traditionally preferred top-loading agitator models, front-loading washer saturation was up to 14.5% in 2006.
BSH points out that all its models have an Energy Star qualification in every category that the program rates. By pushing the green EcoOption button on the new front-loading Nexxt 500 plus and 800-series washers, the consumer decreases the temperature and amount of energy used during the wash cycle by up to 20%. In order to not sacrifice performance, washing time is extended.
Europe has long had voluntary agreements on reporting of energy efficiency of household appliances, including clothes washers. However, in April, European appliance industry association CECED announced that agreements will not be updated. A key issue, highlighted in an Appliance Line editorial (May 2007, APPLIANCE, page 7), is fake efficiency credentials used by some companies. CECED supports a worldwide approach to product energy efficiency.
"Achieving ambitious energy efficiency objectives and ensuring effective enforcement of laws are two sides of the same coin," observes Whirlpool vice president Irene Bellew. "We can't meet and deliver on environmental targets without effective global action against dishonest producers and free riders." She also highlighted the need for the World Trade Organization and the World Bank to promote energy efficient technology globally.
Are measurements accurate in the North American market? One appliance representative, who did not want to be identified, indicated some concerns.
From the standpoint of AHAM's Jill Notini, director, communications and marketing, "Currently, manufacturers measure energy consumption, which includes a capacity measurement, according to the DOE test procedure. There is no outside verification process for energy testing. However, manufacturers do self-certify the energy results to DOE (U.S. Department of Energy)."
According to Fisher & Paykel's Davies, the Australian market may be even more driven by water and energy issues than the North American market. "Australia is the driest inhabited continent in the world and is struggling with a 100-year drought. Nearly 75% of New Zealand's power is hydroelectric, and it was only a few years ago when the lake levels had dropped by approximately 55% due to dry weather. Australia and New Zealand have mandatory water and energy labeling, which requires meeting quite difficult performance standards. This means that not only do washers need to be very water efficient; they must also pass a difficult rinse-performance test.
"This is the challenge for all appliance manufacturers," Davies adds. "Saving water without good rinse performance drives our customers to press the Extra Rinse buttons, which of course negates water savings. We are at an advantage in this area because our home market is leading the way with performance standards linked to water consumption."
Top Loading
Samsung Electronics America focused on style and stealth in the design of its new VRT front-loading washing machine. The washer's Vibration Reduction Technology cuts vibration and noise from unbalanced loads during the spin cycle. The washer comes in colors such as Onyx Blue, and the washers can be placed side-by-side on pedestals or stacked with a paired dryer. The company's SilverCare technology is an option for cleaning delicate and colored fabrics, and is intended to remove odor-causing bacteria in cold water without bleach.
The results have been striking. Whirlpool markets a Cabrio model with a 4.5-cu-ft capacity. The GE Profile Harmony washer, from GE Consumer & Industrial, has a 4.0-cu-ft capacity and direct communication with a matching dryer. Sears, Roebuck & Co. has Oasis models that feature a tempered glass lid and 3.8 cu ft of capacity. Haier offers a 3.5-cu-ft Genesis top-load washer.
Fisher & Paykel markets top-loading washers and dryers in North America and elsewhere. "We have always believed the top-loading format is the ultimate solution for ease of use," observes Davies. "In the majority of our markets, the top-loading washer format is the most accepted; the only exception to this is the European market. The key advantage to the front-loading format is the efficiency you can achieve. However, with our technology we have proven that a top-loading product can achieve similar efficiencies. We strongly feel that the future of washing platforms will combine the advantages of both formats, which we are beginning to see through our AquaSmart products."
Fighting Wrinkles
Adding steam to a washer is not an intuitive development, considering that one of the goals of a washer is to drain water prior to clothes unloading. However, the LG SteamWasher, from LG Electronics USA, does just that. Steam can be incorporated into the wash cycle in one of two ways. The first is through the SteamWash function, which feeds hot steam particles into the top of the wash drum through a spray nozzle. The steam deeply penetrates the fabrics to remove dirt and stubborn stains and dissolve cleaning agents better, improving total wash performance while increasing energy and water savings. The second option, the SteamFresh cycle, injects steam via a pump-and-cartridge system into the tub, freshening and reducing wrinkles on dry clothing without water. The result is said to be less ironing and fewer trips to the dry cleaner.
At this year's K/BIS, LG added a SteamDryer, which also incorporates the SteamFresh cycle, reducing wrinkles and removing odors from clothing. The laundry pair, in stainless steel, is scheduled to be available in the third quarter with suggested retail prices of about US$3500 each for the washer and the dryer. The dryer will also be available in the third quarter in white and wild-cherry finishes. Suggested retail prices range from about $1150 to $1400.
Whirlpool also introduced a steam dryer to the North American market. The Duet steam dryer delivers the benefits of steam technology, which relaxes wrinkles and removes odors inside the dryer. It uses the water line from the washer to spray a fine mist on clothes, and the water vapor penetrates fabrics to lift out odors and relax wrinkles while tumble drying. Clothing reportedly comes out refreshed and dry, ready to wear. The dryer is scheduled for fall availability in shades including diamond dust, white, biscuit, black, and white with sapphire blue.
The Driron from Fagor in Spain is billed as the first appliance that irons as it dries. Users hang their garments on hangers, weighted down with clip-on attachments, inside this wardrobe-like machine, and switch it on. Two hours later the clothes are said to emerge looking fresh and pressed. The system also comes with a drawer for placing smaller articles of clothing that don't require pressing, such as socks and undergarments. The appliance uses a condensation system to extract humidity from laundry items.
Energy efficiency can be even more important to owners of commercial laundry appliances. This 30-lb capacity T-30X2 Express stack dryer is said to offer store owners lower operating expenses. It is designed for 21% faster drying, 6% less gas usage, and 16% less electricity used per cycle than the previous model. Dexter Laundry Inc. achieved this improved efficiency by incorporating better airfl ow into and through the dryer, as well as increased recirculation. The new right-shifted lint drawer allows the dryer to hang onto heated air longer. Integrated venting and dual-voltage motors and terminal block allow for quicker and easier installation. To enhance dryer durability and reliability there is an improved spider, shaft, and bearing assembly and a lint-free computer and coin-drop area. Easier access to the heat chamber and burner housing permits simplifi ed cleaning.
Ions and Free Radicals
Silver ions are used in SilverCare washers from Samsung Electronics America. The ion system is designed to kill bacteria and clean without the potential clothes damage that can result from immersion in hot water and bleach. There are also significant energy efficiency advantages with using cold water.
"We use SilverCare technology from about the middle of our washer line up," says James Politeski, vice president of sales and marketing, home appliance division. "We are including the technology in washers worldwide under different names. We use ionic silver created through an electrolysis process. We have tested this technology significantly and don't see any environmental issues with the use of silver ions. There is a tiny amount of silver ion in the rinse water and washer water. As soon as the ions get in the drain line, they bond and become inactive.
"The U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) is looking into the effect of silver on the environment," he adds. "Silver comes in a lot of forms. We are working every step of the way with them to help them understand the effect of our washers' silver ions. The EPA could have a statement by the end of next year."
Probably farther down the road, one laundry concept from the Electrolux design labs is the KaionWave washing system. This one-of-a-kind washing system uses ultraviolet-C light and free-radical oxygen for cleaning nanocoated fabric. Many hypothesize that this durable and stain-resistant fabric will be used to make the clothing of the future. The light can penetrate every article of fabric to kill bacteria and viruses, while the free-radical oxygen acts as a powerful oxidizing agent that can break down dirt into carbon dioxide and water, thus sanitizing the fabric. Functioning as both a washer and a dryer, the washing system is ideal for houses where space is limited. No water or chemicals are necessary to run this washing system, and it uses wireless electromagnetic induction technology. The waterless and chemical-free design requires minimal maintenance while the intuitive user interface is said to be safe and easy to operate.
An over-the-top concept? Well, maybe. But look at the pace of change and variety of features coming on the market now. You may not want to bet against new concepts becoming reality in the not-too-distant future.

Lawsuit Pits Jay Penske Against Former Variety Exec
It was to be called Beverly Hills Entertainment Week. But the 2012 event never happened and according to reports late last night on Deadline and TheWrap, past and present regimes of Variety are tangled up in the 90210 details.
Variety Media LLC is claiming in an April 29 LA Superior Court complaint that a $500,000 event sponsorship deal set up previously at Variety with Beverly Hills Media Group was fraudulent. In addition, the trade's new ownership alleges that because the sponsorship deal was never properly disclosed during due diligence for the PMC-Variety deal, they are now on the hook for a penalty.
The defendants, in a counter-claim filed Tuesday, insist they tried to set up a meeting with Penske during the Variety acquisition process but were denied.* From Sharon Waxman's report:
The complaint accuses the unnamed "executive officer" of Variety of engaging in a "fraudulent, self-dealing transaction while the assets of Variety were being marketed for sale for the purpose of diverting substantial revenues generated by Variety…"

« New Mixtape: Slaughterhouse – 'House Rules'
Nicki Minaj Talks Forbes Iggy Azalea Article, Jay Z's 'Blueprint,' & Remy Ma »
Iggy Azalea Talks No. 1 Album and Cleaning Houses on 'Chelsea Lately'
Hot on the heels of her debut album The New Classic, Iggy Azalea stopped by "Chelsea Lately" on Tuesday for some girl talk. The comedienne congratulated the Aussie hitmaker on becoming the first white woman to have a No. 1 rap album.
"I'm sure Eminem probably did it a few times. I'm the first white person with a vagina," said Iggy, whose single "Fancy" recently went platinum.
When she was 16, Iggy moved to Miami on her own to pursue her career. While she didn't graduate from high school, she did get her GED. But she hopes one day she will be able to get an honorary degree.
After dropping out of school, she paid her bills by cleaning houses (She once found poop on a doormat).
But you won't find a mess at Iggy's house. When it comes to cleaning, she's OCD. "My own house, I'm really anal about and people hate that," said Iggy.
See her chop it up with Chelsea below.
