Low Carbohydrate Recipe
Bobotie is also known as South African Lamb Curry. You can use ground beef but the lamb is more delicate.
1 pound ground lamb
1/4 cup onion, sliced
1-1/2 tablespoon curry powder
1 tablespoon sweetener (such as Stevia)
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 grated apple
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup whipping cream
2 eggs
Salt and pepper
Recipe Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Brown lamb in pan and remove. Melt some butter and brown onions. Return lamb to pan and add curry, splenda, salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and apple. Pour mixture into casserole dish. Mix eggs, cream and nutmeg and pour on top of mixture. Bake 45 minutes.
This is really unusual but most of our staff loved it. You can use ground beef but the lamb is more delicate. You can also make this without the apple to reduce carbs further.

text: I have a dresser which was refinished about 10 years ago, meaning is was stained and fortunately not varnished. We are having our first child in about a week and my wife wants me to finish the dresser to use in a spare bathroom for storage. "We" want a black lacker finish. I dont have a lot of time but I want to do it right. What is my best option? I was thinking that I will need to do a quick light sand, prime with a spray paint and finish with 2 coats of high gloss black spray paint. I am concerned with using a brush since it may show brush marks, which is not great. Is spray paint going to chip/be a crap idea? Let me know your thoughts.

BeschreibungResearch in statistics education is an emerging field, with much of the work being published in diverse journals across many disciplines. Locating and synthesizing this research is often a challenging task, as is connecting the research literature to practical issues of teaching and assessing students. This book is unique in that it collects, presents, and synthesizes cutting edge research on different aspects of statistical reasoning and applies this research to the teaching of statistics to students at all educational levels. Unlike other books on how to teach statistics, or educational materials to help students learn statistics, this book presents the research foundation on which teaching should be based. The chapters in this volume are written by the today's leading researchers in statistics education.This volume will prove of great value to mathematics and statistics education researchers, statistics educators, statisticians, cognitive psychologists, mathematics teachers, mathematics and statistics curriculum developers, and quantitative literacy experts in education and government.

Matilda star Mara Wilson has opened up about her sexuality in the wake of the attack at Pulse – an LGBT nightclub – in Orlando.
Mara said she felt compelled to open up to fans following the homophobic attack in which 49 people lost their lives in the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.
Mara shared a picture of herself in a gay club from ten years ago to Twitter – along with a string of emotional tweets, reports The Mirror.
She outlined how she found it difficult to fit in but always felt 'so welcomed' by the LGBT community:
Me at a gay club when I was eighteen. I feel embarrassed looking at it now… pic.twitter.com/qMZec3WBvu
— Mara Wilson (@MaraWilson) June 12, 2016
I have never had a better experience at a club than I did then. Great music and people. And one of my friends met his partner that night!
— Mara Wilson (@MaraWilson) June 12, 2016
But the LGBTQ community has always felt like home, especially a few years later when I, uh, learned something about myself.
— Mara Wilson (@MaraWilson) June 12, 2016
The majority of Mara's fans were quick to respond and she was inundated with messages of support:
@MaraWritesStuff ❤❤❤❤❤— Brie (@coolbreeeze_) June 12, 2016
@MaraWritesStuff ❤💛💚💙💜 Thank you for being so open to sharing.— Lisa Steinberg (@GoodHumorGrl) June 13, 2016
@MaraWritesStuff welcome to the family! ❤— Hi, I'm Dave. ✍🏻 (@davef85) June 13, 2016
@MaraWritesStuff pic.twitter.com/QO7Vmg2ADU— sam thorp (@samth0r) June 14, 2016
She said: "Your support is much appreciated. I will say, though, I'm still gonna be pretty private about my relationships, as I always have been."
However, one person did question Mara's choice of language saying:
.@__SonjaLouise__ I said I *used* to identify as mostly straight. I've embraced the Bi/Queer label lately
— Mara Wilson (@MaraWilson) June 14, 2016
It's been nearly twenty years since Mara starred as child genius Matilda in the film adaptation of Roald Dahl's book.
But in the wake of the terrible tragedy in Orlando her message is more important than ever.

David Cameron does not have to bother himself with the ancient disputes about Europe that have done the party such harm. Neither candidate for the Conservative leadership said much about the European Union in the campaign. There was no need. As leader of the party, Michael Howard drained most of the poison out of the old arguments. Indeed many of those arguments have simply gone away.
Reflecting on prophesies of doom at the time of Maastricht, I observe that the Queen is still happy on her throne, British taxes are put up by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, British interest rates are set by the Bank of England, and Britain goes to war at the behest of the Americans. None of these rights is at risk. There is no serious pressure on Britain to join the euro.
The Constitutional Treaty is dead. There will never be another mammoth treaty of its kind. The President of the European Commission, far from piling up the legislative burden is trying to reduce it. The essential power in the EU rests, as it has always rested, with the Council of Ministers, each responsible to a national parliament, who share its law-making powers with the directly elected European Parliament.
So David Cameron can concentrate on the future. Some European policies fit easily into Conservative thinking. Liberalisation of the single market is still not complete. Enlargement, so successful in transforming Eastern Europe, still has to be extended to the Balkans and Turkey. Both these enterprises were given crucial support by Margaret Thatcher; both have Conservative roots.
Whether the European budget is settled by the British next week or by the Austrians in the spring there is no doubt about the way in which EU economic policy is moving (though far too slowly) - towards the opening of markets within and outside Europe with a continuing run-down of the Common Agricultural Policy. Sugar is the most recent example. These are arguments on which French protectionists will battle mightily and lose.
David Cameron has said he will separate the Conservative MEPs from the European Peoples Party. But we can benefit from close ties with like-minded politicians in Europe, in particularly the admirable new German Chancellor, Angela Merkel.
Conservatives favour a robust foreign policy. In many areas this will be achieved by working in partnership with other Europeans. In Russia as elsewhere we compete with our partners for business; but politically we need a cool, united European policy towards the cool customer in the Kremlin. This means paying more attention to the views of our partners in Poland and the Baltic states.
We need to focus on the arc of danger which stretches from China, south to Afghanistan and the Middle East, and then west up through the Balkans to Ukraine and Belarus. The United States, Russia and China are big players in this area. The European nations should decide whether they wish to influence what happens by working together or whether they are content with mere chatter.
There is no compulsion in this process. European foreign policy can only take shape on subjects where the European governments are unanimous. Majority voting is confined to implementing policies which have been unanimously agreed.
Nor should the result be antagonism towards the US. The notion of the EU as a superpower in rivalry to the Americans has quietly expired, except perhaps at election time in France. Europeans were divided on Iraq. The British government blundered into a wrong and foolish war, the effects of which still haunt us. But that was in President Bush's first term. In the second term, the rhetoric is the same but the content is different. Partnership is back in vogue.
The US is now relying on European diplomacy and soft power to avert the emergence of Iran as a military nuclear power. This British, French and German foreign ministers, acting on behalf of Europe as a whole, are working closely with Washington in partnership. When it can be achieved, this is by far the best pattern for the future.
All this amounts to positive scepticism. The word scepticism was kidnapped and twisted out of its real meaning by those whose analysis of the EU is fundamentally negative. But in its true sense, scepticism is a useful tool. Conservatives should be well to the fore in criticising the institutions of Europe when they fall into over-regulation, protectionism and empty rhetoric. But our criticism should and, I believe, will be based, on a clear understanding of the positive part a modern Conservative Party can play in modern Europe.

The Ricotta of Chris Richards
You're dropped back home after your ridiculous adventures. Chris Richards (that's the man with the red coat - remember him haha!) has sent you some Ricotta cheese to thank you for everything you've done.
Now, you probably know that Ricotta is a type of Italian whey cheese. I don't know why they were doing ricotta in Greece but anyway that's what's happened. It can be made of, I don't know, sheep's milk or buffalo milk - all sorts. It all sounds rather exciting, doesn't it, but it can also just be ordinary old cow's milk - I suppose it could be all sorts of milk they use to produce that.
Anyway, I'm banging on - I hope you like it because that's what he's sent you. You could have it on some bread or you could toast the bread or I suppose you might just want it as it is, I don't know. You could wrap some of it up and have the rest tomorrow or whatever you want really. You might be hungry and want to have the lot now but anyway that's up to you.
Once you've had it (or part of it or whatever you'd like) it's time to visit your friend to tell him what a, well, exciting's the only word for it, time you've had and you know he'll want to know all about it and the cheese and the whole, you know, whatever it was that happened out there while you were away and your adventures and all about it.
You get out of your chair and cross the room. You're starting to put your coat on when there's a ring on the bell and, aha, well, you're not actually expecting anyone so you open it up, wondering who it is. It could have been the postman or the doctor or all sorts of people but anyway to cut a long story short whoever it is has got the wrong door. They must have thought it was a different place but anyway I don't want to go on about it so you leave the building and you lock the door behind you obviously but you do need your key with you or else you won't be able to get back in.
Anyway, I'm wittering on. You leave and get the 'bus to see your friend. Well obviously you've got to wait at the 'bus stop for a bit because they don't just come at once, the 'buses. Actually sometimes they do - that happened to me the other day but that's a whole other story - a different kettle of fish you might say (funny expression that - why would you have fish in a kettle?) but you don't want to hear me burbling on about that. We're not here to talk about me. To cut a long story short the 'bus arrives and remember they're extending the 139 soon and probably ending the 13 or the N13 or whatever it is but you'll be able to get the 82 all night. Yes, apparently. And they're merging one of them with something else but anyway you can read it all on TfL's website - they've got all the details and all about it and whatever you're interested in, really.
Anyway it doesn't go all the way to your friend's place. The 'bus. I'm talking about the 'bus. Yes. You've got to get out at the station. You choose a bench to sit on - it could be any of them today but you don't always get that choice - remember when they were painting the middle one? You wouldn't have wanted to sit on that one because you'd have got all paint all over yourself and it's real proper paint they use, not like that water-based stuff where you can just sponge it off. That wouldn't do much good with this one. No, no.
I've forgotten what I was saying now. Oh yes, anyway, to cut a long story short you get to your friend's place and he's all like, "Great to see you," and you're all like, "Howdy, stranger". I mean you're not really a cowboy but sometimes you speak like that a ha ha and you tell him about, well, what's been happening to you and this and that and all about it and he tells you all his news and he's been doing this and he's been doing that and you have a good old natter and a cup of coffee (or tea or whatever you want, really) and you come home.
Actually he does give you some food. I forgot to mention that. Don't think you're going to be leaving here hungry. He gives you
a) Some pasta (there's then a seven-minute wait)
b) There's some soup (I think there's then a wait of two or three minutes)
c) There's some kind of pudding or fruit or whatever it is.
You tell him about the cheese and say you'll bring him a bit next time and he says, sort of jokingly, "Oh, didn't you like the food here?" and you say of course you did and he says he was only joking.
Here's a list of the roads you pass on the way from your friend's house to the 'bus stop:
1) Algernon Road
2) Priory Crescent
3) Turner's Drive (and make sure you turn sharp left here - I turned right once and it took me ages to get myself sorted but I'm banging on)
4) I can never remember the name of that next one but anyway you'll know it when you see it - it's that long one, you know, the one by the park - someone should really do something about that swing - I think it's a real hazard
5) The actual road with the 'bus stop itself - Fitzwilliam Road but you knew that one. Make sure you're standing outside the post office.
There isn't much more to say really.

Vehicle graphics, also known as vehicle wraps has become what is called an innovative advertising strategy for businesses. Vehicle graphics makes it possible to create colorful and attractive advertisements and it helps to convey them to thousands of people everywhere and every day.
The benefits
Advertising using vehicle graphics gather more exposure and views relative to other forms of advertisements such as billboards. This results in lower cost per exposure than any other advertising medium.
If we keenly observe other channels of advertisements, we can realize that television ads can only last a few weeks, radio ads might be close to a month and advertisements through newspapers may last only two or three days. Even though billboards are seen by thousands of people with 24 hours exposure, they are fixated in only one location. Vehicle graphics on the other hand, brings great exposure across multiple locations.
Advertising your products and services 24 hours a day, in those areas where you deliver your product or service is easily possible with vehicle advertising.
Why Vehicle Graphics?
People who view vehicle signs would develop an impression about your company, which can most probably turn into purchases. It is however important that these signs should be made adequately attractive. Using photos and logos is important but make sure you don't overdo it.
Company Name or Logo:
It is indeed important to mention the company name or logo on your advertisement, but it shouldn't necessarily be your first priority. You are simply conveying about the service or product offered. Your customers will take their time learning about your company, once they have made the initial encounter with your firm.
Choose a reliable Vehicle wrap provider:
Professional vehicle wrap providers will have the expertise in designing and installing vehicle graphics for your business vehicle. They can recommend you the best designs that suit your business and conveys the intended message in the best possible way. When you are looking for a vehicle wrap firm, choose one that has enough experience and the one that offers you quality graphics at the best price.
If you are thinking of promoting your business, vehicle graphics is a wise choice to expand the exposure of your brand powerfully.
The author is presently working in a leading sign company that specializes in offering business signs for companies. He explains how vehicle graphics are useful in promoting business effectively.

There isn't a habitat category appropriate for a variety of urban microhabitats, such as pavements, street gutters, electricity substations, abandoned carparks and factory sites, walls, etc.
Where urban grass verges goes is also unclear - parks and gardens? grassland?
add it
24 September 2012 - 9:10pm Fenwickfield
This was discussed a while ago and the furthest we got was the tag near location which say's rural or urban.I always add a bit about location when I put the details of my observation on as some are rather vague but were would it end there would be so many.I can find something that is really in three locations a fungi in grass near a wood by the stream so what do I pick as it is in all three.I know what you mean they should have one as waste land or industrial land
Yes a brownfield/wasteland
Yes a brownfield/wasteland habitat would be useful.
Any reason why it was never added to the options ?
Agree but ....
Old debate this one. Have a trawl through the forum threads and you will find much discussion on it.

You can shake your head all you want, but not all of the facts are out yet. We know Johnson was charged, we know the ages, and we know the bar. That's it. Sure, more could come and he's guilty, but until that point, I'm not going to assume anything.
As far as under-age nights go, I know of one bar (I won't name it) that has them as I've been told they were having that specific event. Memory wants to say there is another one, but I can't say for sure.
You still don't get it. I am using the term goody goody is in abiding by the rules. I know a person was charged with sexual assault he was 18, the girl is 16. I also know they taped off a crime scene which isn't always stand operating procedures in this case. Read the article again and start connecting the dots it isn't hard.

Introducing Something Ordinary
12 comments
I work hard to make many different types of handmade soap so that I can offer a little something for everyone. And today I'm introducing another new soap. Here's a hint about the new soap; fancy stuff can sometimes be overrated, so . . . embrace the ordinary!
This new soap is named for a very sweet lady who lives here in the mountains of West Virginia. This is her picture. As you may notice, she loves old-fashioned canning. More about her in a minute.
Even though I am a very small company, no matter what your favorite kind of soap is, you should be able to find something in my line that you'll love. I make different types of soap on a rotating basis because I have a limited amount of time and space for my hobby/business. So when your favorite soap comes around, I always advise customers to stock up because I may not make your favorite again for 6 months or more.
So, what IS your favorite type of soap? Do you love floral-scented soap? Or do you prefer fresh or fruity scented soap? Do you like the look of dried flowers on luxury soap?
Or maybe you like plain, uncolored or fragrance-free soap? Or are you adament that you will only buy vegan, goat-milk, natural or palm-free soaps?
Do you need ultra-gentle soap for your family's sensitive skin?
Do you love fancy-pants soap? Do you like essential oils better than fragrance oils?
Don't worry; I got you covered. At some point, I'll make YOUR favorite kind of soap.
So, this new soap is made with a slightly different recipe and it's named for a down-to-earth, no-nonsense woman who lives on a small farm out in the country in Clay County. My state is a rural state, but this lady even lives way off the beaten path of West Virginia locals. This is her house.
The lady I'm referring too grows potatoes, peas, corn, onions, hot peppers, rhubarb and many other vegetables in her little garden. She also picks wild berries. Then she uses all of these things to create jams, fruit butters, pickled vegetables, dip mixes, chili mixes and salsa mixes.
She puts her family to work too.
Eventually this nice lady started selling her home-canned products at local small-town events. The products began selling so well that her daughter put them on the internet. Before you know it, this mild, unassuming woman from Clay County, West Virginia got her products mentioned in Southern Living magazine and People magazine!
This is a true story about a real person and her name is Evelyn McGlothlin. Evelyn is a modest, down-to-earth lady and she will be the first to tell you that she's nothing special; just an ordinary country woman who likes gardening and cooking. As a matter of fact, even her product labels reflect her modesty. She named her business 'Ordinary Evelyn's'.
How cute is that company name? I just love it!!
So, after getting permission from Evelyn, I'm naming my new soap, 'Ordinary Evelyn' soap, and it will be listed for sale on June 5, 2015. Then I'll start rotating it in with the rest of my soap on a regular basis.
In keeping with Evelyn's unpretentious personality, Ordinary Evelyn soap is nothing fancy – no colors, no dried botanical flowers, no fancy stamps or decorations. It's just plain white soap with the fresh fragrance of clean clothes drying on a country clothesline on a summer day.
The other thing that makes Ordinary Evelyn soap a little different from my other soap is that it includes lard as a 'secret' ingredient. Don't freak out! Don't stop reading!
Lard, lard-derived ingredients and tallow are already in your lipstick, shaving cream, toothpaste, hand lotion, shampoos, dish liquids, store-bought soap and expensive skincare creams. You also eat it. It's in baked goods and other candy and snack foods.
Big companies that use lard or tallow in their products often list it on their ingredients label under another name. Which may be a good thing since some people have an 'yuck!' reaction to the thought of lard or tallow. So companies generally list 'sodium tallowate' instead of tallow, etc. The very first ingredient in Ivory soap is sodium tallowate.
But country people, farmers, ranchers, recyclers and survivalists know these remarkable ingredients by their plain, ordinary names – lard or tallow – and they know that they are worth their weight in gold for a variety of uses.
I know lard is not a very glamorous-sounding ingredient, but many soapmakers find lard to be a fantastic ingredient in soap. And top companies have been using it for years in high-end skin-care and beauty products.
Soap is a wash-off product, and as a handmade soapmaker I cannot legally make any claims as to lard or tallow being good for your skin. But if you google 'lard in skin care', you will see that it is an ingredient that is included in many exclusive, big-name products.
Ordinary Evelyn is also a palm-free soap. That's important to many people because palm oil is often cultivated in an unsustainable way, especially in Indonesia and Malaysia. The unsustainable establishment of palm oil plantations is harmful to the environment, including the native communities and wildlife. Deforestation associated with unsustainable palm oil sources is particularly devastating to wild animals.
So why is lard or tallow an acceptable ingredient in this soap if it comes directly from animals? Well, lard and tallow are renewable resources because they are a waste product of the meat industry, and the meat indistry isn't going away any time soon. Whether we like it or not. Using lard and/or tallow reduces waste and makes the most of the life of an animal that has already been killed for another reason (steak or bacon). No matter how much you may hate that an animal has been killed for food, you cannot help but see the good sense in using the waste scraps for something good instead of sending tons of it to landfills every year. That's just good environmental stewardship.
Ordinary Evelyn is a wonderful soap. But if you still prefer vegan soaps, I have many other soap choices for you.
Evelyn has an Ordinary Evelyn's Facebook page and I'm sure she'd love it if you'd drop in over there and give her page a 'like'. You can find her web site at http://www.ordinaryevelyns.com/. You can find her products at these locations.
Or, if you're local, you may get lucky and stumble upon the real Evelyn selling her products at rural festivals here in West Virginia. Tell Ordinary Evelyn that the soap lady sent you.

Andrew Masterson is a commercial/IT litigator with Pinsent Curtis in Leeds.
Lords Woolf and Mackay are making a start on reigning in some of the looney litigants who use the courts, but more needs to be done.
Often failed businessmen teetering on the bring of insolvency, these litigants' claims are based on allegations of verbal representations and promises, conspiracy and malice. At present there are few curbs on them and they get legal aid knowing the Legal Aid Board will not enquire too closely about case merits. They can also act in person provided they disclose a case on the face of their pleadings.
Defendants of such claims face Hobson's choice. Either they offer terms to the undeserving, or they throw away thousands of pounds mounting a full defence, knowing that there is little chance of recovering costs.
Proposals in the Legal Aid White Paper to tighten up eligibility will help. But the LAB must not rely on solicitors acting for applicants when assessing the new 'deservingness' criterion. This is a major weakness of the present system.
The proposed liability for a successful opponent's costs, despite legal aid, will also reign back solvent individuals. Unfortunately, where the litigant is nearly insolvent, liability for costs and bankruptcy holds no terrors, and none of the current legal aid proposals will prevent such people acting in person. Indeed, Lord Woolf's proposals encourage such litigants to do so.
The proposal to widen the powers of summary disposal will help weed out these cases but this relies on the judge concerned taking a robust line.
Perhaps it is time to allow security for costs against impecunious individuals as is done against companies. It need not be at the level of the defendant's costs but it cannot be right to put a potentially successful defendant in a no-win situation where he can be blackmailed by the claimant.
Whether security would be awarded and its extent would, as now, take account of the claimant's chances of success.
Access to justice is important. However, we should not be lose sight of the fact that a significant number of people abuse the courts and they must be robust in ensuring that companies are not unjustly affected by an embittered and misguided minority.

Activists in an international campaign to save 5,000 hedgehogs threatened by a cull are to petition the Scottish Parliament next week. In a last-minute attempt to stop the killing by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), campaigners are pressing for evacuation of the animals.
SNH believes a cull by lethal injection is vital if wading birds on North Uist, Benbecula and South Uist are to be protected from the egg-scavenging animals, who have reduced some bird colonies by up to 60 per cent in 30 years.
Supporters from as far away as New Zealand, and celebrities including Sir Tim Rice and the Duchess of Hamilton, joined the protest. Ross Minett, of Advocates for Animals, said: "We are offering to resettle the hedgehogs. The end result is the same, clearing Uist."
Michael Scott, the deputy chairman of SNH who will present the agency's case to MSPs, said: "Studies have shown a mortality level of 46 per cent is likely among translocated animals." The agency says there is no overriding conservation imperative to justify relocation. Estimates put the cost of the cull at £70,000, and £170,000 for relocation. Animal-lovers have pledged £75,000 to help to pay for moving them to the mainland.Reuse content

You wet your diaper again.
While you are having fun playing on the round about, you suddenly feel the padding on your diaper get slightly thicker and a tad warmer. You don't quite notice that you're wet, but Candy stops after a few minutes to check you. "It's a little damp, but it can hold more," she says with a smile. You continue playing with the other kids on some of the other things on the play ground. Upon going down the slide, a bunch of kids stat tickling you making you giggle hard and wet your diaper some more. Eventually, you're soaked again and you waddle back to Candy and ask nicely for a change. Candy happily grabs you by the hand and takes you into the nearby bathrooms for a diaper change. Naturally, she helps you out of your sagging wet diaper, cleans you up, sprinkles some powder and puts you in a fresh one. You thank her and give her another hug. What happens next.

The glaze has gone from the bottom of my toilet bowl. Is there any way of replacing it?
Bridget Bodoano, our DIY expert, says: 'Glazing involves firing to a very high temperature in a kiln, so replacing it is just not an option - it's best to get a new loo. However, I and the nice lady at Ideal Standard wonder if your problem is in fact limescale rather than damaged glaze. If you are not sure, before doing anything else it's worth trying a strong limescale remover. If this fails to improve matters, a new loo is not too expensive (look in builders' merchants, big DIY stores and on the internet), installation is pretty straightforward and this is a good opportunity to invest in an eco-friendly, water-saving flush. Ideal Standard (ideal-standard.co.uk) has some very smart ones which also come with a 25-year guarantee.'
Help! Gadgets are taking over
Ours can't be the only household in which chargers for phones, cameras, video games consoles, MP3 players, etc are encroaching on our valuable and limited space, making the place look like an absolute tip for most of the time. Any suggestions as to where I can buy something to store them in?
This is a problem most of us can relate to but one that seems to have been overlooked by the design world, so you will have to be inventive. We recommend buying a sturdy, wooden storage box such as Habitat's Medium Square Box (£30; 08444 991111, habitat.net), then making a neat hole in the back to feed your cables through. There are lots of drawer dividers on the market if you want to subdivide your box - have a look at the Holding Company's selection (020-8445 2888, theholdingcompany.co.uk). Your other option is to invest in a media storage unit such as the Concept Audio Visual Unit from Heal's (£675; 020-7636 1666, heals.co.uk) or John Lewis's Strata Low Wall Unit (£750; 0845 604 9049, johnlewis.com). Both are rather pricey but will provide neat housing for your music and TV paraphernalia.
Blu-tack - a sticky problem
My daughter left for college not long ago. Her bedroom walls are covered with Blu-Tack that will not peel off properly. Any ideas as to how to remove it?
Cleaning guru Stephanie Zia says: 'First soften the edges with a specialist remover such as Sticky Stuff Remover Gel, £3.99, from Lakeland (01539 488100, lakeland.co.uk), Ryman or hardware stores. Then roll off the Blu-Tack carefully, never pull. To remove any remaining marks, use De-Solv-It Maximum Strength Degreaser, £4.99, from Lakeland, supermarkets or hardware stores, or any citrus-based stain remover. If the stains don't come off, the walls were probably painted some time ago and have become porous, sucking all of the oil out of the Blu-Tack. Unfortunately, the only remedy is to clean the walls with sugar soap and repaint. Blu-Tack actually becomes more adhesive as time passes, and if it is used to attach a picture to the wall, there is a danger that, when the picture is taken down, it will tear paint or paper off the wall. To avoid this be sure to soften the edges of the tack before attempting to remove it.'

Re the leaking shower - why not consider a wet room? If Bridget Bodoano is recommending such an advanced level of tanking, your correspondent may as well forget about the shower tray (not to mention the curtain) and fit the plughole in the tiled floor, ensuring the floor slopes gently enough to drain away. I stayed with friends in Sweden and their guest room en suite was basically a walk-through closet containing sink and loo with a shower head and a drain-away in the floor. The walls were lined with vinyl floor cover and the floors were tiles. There need be nothing fancy about a wet room!

Re What Will Remove A Sticker From Glass (December 23)? Try WD-40 - it is good at removing price stickers from shop-bought goods.

To remove a sticker from glass or other materials, I always use a hairdryer. It makes the glue melt and it's easy to remove with water.

Re the pebble flooring inquiry (December 16), we loved the pebble flooring in our local bathroom fittings shop. It's actually tiles, but the joins hardly show. It's called Karndean (01386 820100, karndean.com) and is not the cheapest option, but it's hard-wearing and looks great.

Play after play for the opposing team simply fizzles into nothing with Lidstrom on the backend, and Lidstrom then controls the pace of the offense.
Well, when I used to word outshine, I implied it to mean outperform, because well I think Coffey did outperform Lidstrom. Even simply considering their time in Detroit, Coffey outperformed Lidstrom.
It's also very interesting to note how much Lidstrom learned by playing with Coffey). His slumping 1992-1993 Season was turned around by the arrival of Coffey, and by 1995-1996 he was playing in All Star games beside Coffey. When Coffey was booted (and before people bring it up, Scotty Bowman had a point of kicking out players he didn't like, despite how good Defensively they were (Sean Burr?)) Lidstrom assumed the role as Detroit's (and soon the League's) number one Defenseman for a good long while.
I'll also disagree with the sentiment that Lidstrom has been Detroit's best Player for the past 15 years. From 1994-1996 I'd say it was Sergei Fedorov (and Coffey - 1995). From 1996-2000, it was Steve Yzerman (it was Yzerman who used to disagree when named the team's best Player at that time, but I would disagree with him there).
The last decade you have a good case, but I feel that too much has been ignored of other Detroit Players. Yzerman when he was playing until 2002 could still be called the best Red Wing, Fedorov had a good case too. Fedorov's 2003 season was magnificent and some called it worthy of Hart consideration. Recently, Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg have been instrumental to Detroit's success, at least as much so as Lidstrom.

Coffey was exceptionally skilled offensively, and was an absolute pleasure to watch. But you can almost half-jokingly and half-seriously ask if you can even label the guy a defenseman. Because quite honestly, the only time I consistently remember him anywhere near being in position was during a faceoff. My memory is a guy who looked a hell of a lot more like a forward who hung Fuhr out to dry on constant odd man rushes. I don't say this as a knock: Fuhr was good enough to do it, and if he had an off night, Edmonton was capable of scoring 7 goals. So Coffey playing "fourth forward" simply made Edmonton that much more lethal.
It's hard to imagine whether Coffey, during his prime, would have excelled at the defensive aspect of the game because he honestly didn't need to based on the offensive blitz style that Edmonton played, their quality of goaltending, and the sheer fact that, as a team, Edmonton was simply going to outscore you.
The guy is very, very hard to rank. And a lot of that has to do with Edmonton having a relatively unique style of play and an ability to score a ludicrous amount of goals. You can argue on the one hand he wasn't superb defensively. You can just as easily argue that his offensive game made Edmonton so dangerous in the opposition's end that his style made the Oilers far more dangerous and outweighed his need to focus on the defensive end.
I suppose you'd almost have to assume the role of the Oilers' coach and ask yourself: do I want this guy to cover his own end better or do I give him a green light and essentially say, attack the hell out of them and make them stop us? The latter was more the Oilers' approach and it worked with lethal efficiency. As such, Coffey's need to be a defensive dynamo is a direct catch-22 against a system that worked brutally well and won Cups.
Coffey was not exceptional defensively. But it's hard to exploit that when Coffey and his teammates constantly have you on your heels and running ragged in your own end. And if you did exploit it, you still had to beat Fuhr. Ultimately, it's somewhat difficult to hold his defensive game against him when his offensive game worked so perfectly with the team's style, made them much harder to stop, and, above all, led to wins.
This is a very interesting point, and there may be an answer. The 1986-1987 Season which saw Coffey sit part of the year due to back injury and holdout, also saw him play his best Defense. He would say that he simply did not have the confidence in his state to play the Offensive style he used to. Rather, he focused his skills on Defense, and did a great job. His skating ability would now be used in a less demanding fashion to cover a smaller area, he made short and safe passes out, and he used his intelligence and creativity to break up many plays.
This actually fit in well with the Oilers too, who had matured a bit and weren't exactly the absolute run and gun team they were when they were younger. Coffey's evolution worked nicely with the evolution of the team.
Not surprisingly, despite this act of reinventing himself to help his team in the way he could best, he was harshly criticized for his significant drop in production.
After all, in the last three seasons Coffey was second only to the Great Gretzky in scoring (tied third with Mike Bossy in points per game after Jari Kurri). He was outscoring perhaps the greatest group of elite Offensive talent the league had ever seen.
Coffey would later point out that this would be the Catch-22 situation he was in as you mentioned:
"I'm kind of in a Catch-22 situation because of the way I play the game," said Coffey, a three-time winner of the Norris Trophy, which goes to the league's top defenseman. "It's almost like if I stay back, taking care of my own end, do the little things, take two or three steps and move the puck, get off the ice, they'll say, `Wow, what's he doing? How come he's not scoring points? How come he's not getting involved in the play?' That's my style. That's the way I play. That's the way most teams want me to play."
"I can't do a thing about that. It kind of makes me laugh." (Coffey Ready to Join Wayne's World - St. Paul Pioneer Press, December 10, 1995)

text: SAN DIEGO, April 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Organovo Holdings, Inc. (NYSE MKT: ONVO), the San Diego-based regenerative medicine company focused on using its breakthrough NovoGen 3D human tissue printing technology to create tissue on demand for medical research and therapeutic applications, today commented on recent reports published by two unaffiliated firms: "Over the past two months, new and unknown firms have issued articles and reports on Organovo, without speaking to Organovo management for information or perspective on Organovo's business or opportunities. One firm appears to have been formed in February 2014 and has not issued any other reports other than on Organovo; the other firm has a mailing address at a virtual, rent-an-office. "We have had the opportunity to review these reports in detail and can confirm that they contain inaccurate information and that they are exceptionally – and likely intentionally – misleading. Based on the source of the reports and the blatantly negative tone, we believe they were issued by or at the request of a short seller or short-sellers, who may profit from a decrease in Organovo's stock price following the issuance of these kinds of reports. "Organovo remains focused on the development of 3D human tissues, including remaining on track for launch of its 3D Liver product in 2014. The Company believes, based on the feedback from its collaborators and scientific advisors, that the demonstrated performance of the 3D Liver to date provides it with the opportunity to redefine the category of in vitro assays. The Company's opportunities in in vitro assays include liver, cancer, skin, and kidney tissue markets and in 2013 it signed research collaborations with top corporate and academic partners in three of those areas. In 2014, Organovo has signed collaboration with the US National Institutes of Health to develop eye tissues and to integrate 3D bioprinting with traditional drug screening technologies.

Kuala Lumpur, April 17 (ANI): A Malaysian mother-and-daughter team is said to be offering a body massage package, which includes sex services, to elite clients such as Datuks and young executives.
According to the Harian Metro, the 45-year-old divorcee and her 25-year-old daughter, who were charging their clients between RM300 and RM1,000 for a range of services including body massage in the nude, operated from a two-room luxury condominium in Subang Jaya, reports the Star Online.
All the clients were screened in advance through phone calls by the women before being given appointments.
Selangor Religious Department's Planning and Strategic division assistant director Shahrom Maarop, who revealed the activities to the Malay tabloid, said the women had been operating for the past year.
He said both women were pretty and attractive enough to lure clients for the sessions, which were confined to between 10am and midnight.
He said the department was monitoring the case before carrying out a raid against the women. (ANI)

I'll be honest, I am TERRIBLE at keeping up with the baby calendar and baby book. I just can't do it. I haven't opened the baby book since Emma Ramey was probably 6 weeks old.
But, I can document everything through blogging for some reason! Just putting what Emma Ramey's up to on here once a month isn't cutting it, so I'm going to try to do these posts more often.
Emma Ramey...right now, you are...
-starting to teethe. You're a lot more fussy and those hands are constantly in your mouth...and your drool is out of CONTROL. We broke out Sophie a couple of weeks ago (and that nose is constantly in your mouth), and gave you the frozen teether for the first time today. You loved it!
-standing! No really, standing. We have to balance you, but you can stand completely on your own strength. It's pretty amazing!
-rolling over really well. You can roll from tummy to back pretty much every time we put you on your tummy. You also started rolling back to tummy last week! You did it one time when you were at Mimi and Poppa's (of course I wasn't there), and when Daddy went in to get you the next morning, you had rolled over to your tummy. Scaring me to death. :) You're not rolling from back to tummy a ton, but you can do it.
-sitting with almost no support now. I keep my hand on your back, but I think that's more for my reassurance than your's.
-laughing and smiling at everything. :) You instantly light up when your Daddy comes in the room. You also love being kissed on your feet and getting raspberries blown on your tummy.
-loving Hardy. You just stare and stare at him. He doesn't like acting like he notices you, but we catch him laying next to you constantly. And it's almost like he thinks he's going to break you - he's very careful around you and won't move if we do something like this...
-kind of developing your own comfortable sleep position (don't we all have one??). You roll over on your side just a little, put your left fingers in your mouth, and put your right forearm over your eyes. When you do that, we know you're sleepy. You did it last night when you fell asleep playing...
-starting to not like naps (NOO!! :)). You fuss when I put you down to put on your sleep sack now. It only lasts a couple of minutes usually.
-losing a little bit of hair on the back of your head. Everybody says it'll come back, but the little bald spot makes me sad. And still rocking the baby mullet...your hair on the back of your head is like 10 times longer than on top. I think you could have a little pony tail if I tried!
-weighing 16.8 (!!!) pounds today! Holy cow.
I love this little girl and I LOVE watching her change...but slow down with this growing up business little missy!

Chapter Six: Page 3Mature
After a few minutes, the liar and my mother returned from their expedition into my room. "It's only one thousand eight hundred and…fifty dollars," my mother said as she counted the money. "Enough of the money is gone to pay for a meal at Elemantra's, get some nice wine to accompany it, and to help cover Simon's part of the bill as well, no doubt." I noticed that she said nothing about Nova. In the game of my mother's judgment, Nova was largely left out of that arena; I guessed that coming from a wealthy and famous family helped her in more ways than one.
"I didn't take any of that money," I said, resisting the urge to stomp my foot. I could already see the hairline fracture I'd created on the countertop; I probably would have broken the floor or something if I had let myself react the way I wanted to. I, however, couldn't help the verbal outburst that was to follow. "And I wasn't home before Molly. She called me while I was at school, asking if she could borrow my code because she forgot hers. She must have taken the money, framed me, and then wandered around for half an hour or something before coming back into the house as herself!"
Molly's eyes were filling with tears in an instant. "Stop it, Mina! I didn't take that money and you know it! No matter what lies you tell about me, there's no way that Dad and Cassie are going to believe you!" She turned to them, letting one tear snake its way down her cheek. "I stayed after school today to work on a project. I told you guys about this. You have to believe me!"
"Of course we do, Molly," my mom said. She hugged Molly and stroked her hair, calming her as though Molly were a five year old child and not a fifteen year old teenager. "It's alright, sweetheart. We know you wouldn't take that money. We trust you." She turned towards me and looked up from Molly to glare at me. Even from across the room, I could see the anger displayed prominently on her face. There would be no escaping this wrath; Hell hath no fury like a mother defending her favorite child…especially if that child was the Devil incarnate. "Wilhelmina Gabrielle Percival, how could you do such a thing? Why would you accuse your innocent sister of doing something like this?"
"Innocent?" I said, unable to help the scoff that followed. "Mom, she's obviously playing you, can't you see? She's been playing you for years, ever since we moved into this damn house, and it only got worse after you married Sam! She sees the blatant way you disrespect me and resent me and she's been exploiting it this whole time!" Wow, this really wasn't very normal for me, to speak my feelings like this to my mother. What was wrong with me?
"Resent you?" My mother's hand flew to her chest in indignation. "Wilhelmina, I do not--"
"Save me the sob story, Mom," I said, rolling my eyes and holding up my hand in an attempt to shut her up. "I've known this for years. I can even understand it, just a little, if I look at it through your twisted perspective. I mean, I was the reason that you felt forced into marrying Dad, even though he said you didn't have to keep me."
"And I was the reason that you felt you couldn't attend college, even though you had a full scholarship and people to watch me during the day."
"I never…"
"And I was the reason that you pressured yourself into moving in with Dad, even though Grandma and Grandpa explicitly said that they were not going to kick you out of the house."
"And I was the reason you made all of these horrible life choices…except that I wasn't. You did what you did and you blamed it on your baby. You have let me think for so long that I am the reason that your life is so crappy and you have never, ever let me forget that! You know what? For that, I am sorry. I am so sorry that you don't know how sorry I am. I'm sorry that I'm such an obligation to you!"
There was a long moment of silence. I stood behind my counter, fists shaking by my side. Molly was staring at me with an open mouth, while Sam and my mother both looked at me calmly with calculating eyes.
"Get out."

Anti-Mafia police in Naples have recovered two Van Gogh paintings that were stolen in Amsterdam 14 years ago. BuzzFeed News' investigation of investor-state dispute settlement has provoked a call for change on Capitol Hill. And we bring you pandas…because you deserve it.
At least one person died and 114 others were injured after a commuter train crashed into New Jersey's Hoboken station.
The train crashed into the station during rush hour Thursday. Photos showed massive wreckage and debris. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie told reporters the fatality involved a woman who was struck by debris from the crash while she was standing on the platform. Officials declined to speculate on the cause of crash, citing the train's high rate of speed.
"We have no indication that this is anything other than an accident," Christie said.

The US presidential election. (Fewer than 40 days to go, guys.)
In the days following his first presidential debate with Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump has shifted his opinion on the outcome, calling it "rigged," complaining about his microphone, and maintaining he was not sick, despite sniffling through the event. Here are five things he's said about it.
Decades of insults by Trump against Native Americans are sending tribal leaders toward Clinton. For years, the Republican presidential nominee has questioned the rights of Native American tribes. Now tribal leaders are bracing for the election.
A handful of former Republican officials who support Clinton tried to explain why others in their party support Trump. And can you, unlike Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson, name a single world leader?
BuzzFeed News' investigation of investor-state dispute settlement provokes a call for change on Capitol Hill.
Citing a BuzzFeed News investigation, a dozen senators urged President Obama to remove a controversial element of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the massive trade deal the administration is pushing Congress to ratify in the coming months.
The senators — including Sherrod Brown, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren — highlighted a private legal system contained in the deal that would empower foreign companies to sue the US government before a panel of arbitrators, often drawn from the ranks of corporate lawyers. Including this provision in the deal "means our country's own public health, worker safety, and environmental standards, among others, are vulnerable to corporate challenges," the senators wrote.
RIP Shimon Peres: World leaders — including US President Barack Obama, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas — gathered for the former Israeli statesman's funeral in Jerusalem on Friday, BBC News reports.
Two paintings that were stolen from Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum have been recovered by Italian anti-Mafia police in Naples following a sting operation that targeted organized crime.
The FBI had information on Dylann Roof — who's accused of shooting and killing nine people in a historically black church in South Carolina — that might have prevented him from purchasing the firearm used in the June 2015 fatal shooting, according to a new US Department of Justice report on gun buyer background checks.
Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte likened his anti-drug campaign, which has left more than 3,000 people dead, to Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler, saying he would "be happy to slaughter" 3 million drug users.
The top official at Yosemite National Park said he would retire, amid an ongoing sexual harassment scandal that has engulfed national parks across the US.
In the UK: Members of parliament will examine Asos working practices after a BuzzFeed News investigation revealed allegations of exploitation. The biggest ever UK inquiry into child sexual abuse has descended into chaos — here's how it happened. And Deliveroo's "self-employed" workers say they're driving the food delivery app's growth with little reward or security.
Super Bowl: Lada Gaga said on Thursday that she has signed on to headline the 2017 halftime show.
