Beating the current ISAF Team Racing World Champions, Wishbone from USA 3-0 in a final that they dominated from start to finish, it was another feather in the cap of the team coming back from a disappointing result in Auckland.
The final day yesterday dawned with a brisk 12-15 knot southerly and the 0800 UTC start certainly blew the cobwebs away for most. By mid morning it was decided a universal reef was required, meaning those who adapted best and quickest to the new balance of the Fireflies would benefit.
Following over 220 round robin races using the Swiss league system, the eight quarter-finalists were decided, with eventual runners-up Wishbone only graduating to the quarters following a count back when they were placed eighth, along with five other teams, in the round robin. There was an even split with four of the five American teams and four British teams making the cut.
Hot favourites for the event, Spinnaker SC, (GBR1 at the World Championship in Auckland) were swiftly despatched by Wishbone, and Imperial Poona led by GBR Challenge Helmsman Andy GREEN, were sent packing by the Silver Panda Team. The all-American and All British battle on the other side of the draw saw the New Forest Pirates and the Ungrateful Colonists progress to the semi-finals.
As is almost unique at West Kirby Sailing Club, the location of racing saw spectators line the grandstand alongside the marine lake for the semi-finals. They were not disappointed and in a thriller of the all-American second semi -final, Wishbone progressed to the final only after a re-run of the third and final tie-break race.
The final proved to be a much quieter affair with the British team proving utterly dominant from the outset. Some shocking starting problems from Wishbone coupled with fast sailing from the New Forest Pirates saw 1,2 results in the first 3 of the best of five final, giving them the victory 3-0.
As always, the difficult logistics of running one of the world's largest team racing events was handled well by West Kirby Sailing Club, the on the water judging was fair and consistent, and with over 300 races and 96 competitors, it continues to be a huge event.

This may come as a shock to some of you but I love hats! That's right… love them! I've been this way for as long as I can remember. My dad has always been a hat lover (he never leaves the house without one) so I suspect I got that gene from him!
Anyway, the crazy thing is… even though I completely adore hats, I never seem to wear them for my posts! I think in my mind I've created this rule that outfit posts should focus on the clothes! But that rule (which I didn't even know I consciously had) is completely ridiculous! Hats are such a great accessory and an essential statement of personal style (in particular MY personal style)!
So, when Dorfman Pacific offered me this SCALA Cadet military cap, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to start showing some love for hats on the blog!
I must admit that I really LOVE this hat! It is absolutely my style! It's super cute, comfy, well made, and quite versatile. And it's offered in a variety of colors and reasonably priced! I already know it will quickly become one of my favorites. In fact, I may have to pick up a couple of other colors! Be sure to check out Dorfman Pacific when you get a moment too (I've seen quite a few other hats that may get some love from me soon!!)
What I'm Wearing: SCALA Military Cadet Wool Cap (c/o Dorfman Pacific), Bobeau Sweater, Joe's Ankle Skinny Jeans, Adrienne Vittadini Leopard Booties, Prada Purse
Are you a hat wearer? What's your favorite kind to rock?

What is a short story? Much like judging the pieces themselves, the definition can at times be subjective. In general, we're talking about something in the range of 1,000-9,000 words, though in cases that word count could shoot up to 20,000. We're looking at small works of fiction; big enough to be able to stand alone, but short enough so that we really only ever see one or possibly two events. In the teaching of the English language in the modern day, short stories have solidified their position as one of the most viable forms of student essays. Realistically they can provide the greatest creative freedom. Whereas speeches and talks require the laborious task of assuming a formal tone, short stories allow the natural writing style to take control. A young mind is an imaginative mind, and what better way to show that than to bring whole new worlds and characters into being. That being said, even with their growing popularity, the short story is commonly viewed as an easy way out; a short cut to a good grade and an easy option to fall back on in any exam situation. Much of this arises from the vague wording of essay questions. Although a speech questions sets out the immediate issue, a short story may only need to draw on a certain theme or sentence for the chance to evolve. Even in an area of endless possibilities, we as story tellers need to play by the rules of our choice. Playing by some of the rules gets you a good standard. Playing by all of the rules gets you much, much further. As a result I'm gonna try my hand at outlining some key issues, which incidentally are all just falling into my head now.
1. See that dream sequence? It has to go…now.
We've all done them. Hopefully the older you get the less it arises. Now, before lovers of a good "I awoke in a sweat" smash their hands onto the keyboard, let me go further on this one. Dream sequences are tools used by some of the best writers around, but it's where you use them that matters. If you can survey your story, and realise the whole thing works without the dream; cut it out now. Most of these openings only frustrate a reader, who thinks they have been landed in something fantastical and cool, only to find out the author was being very clever and painting a false reality. Also, 'waking up from a scary dream that may come through later' screams cliché. Writing a good start to hook the reader is important, but don't fall back on something just for the sake of that. Basically, a lot of the unnecessary dream sequences run like this;
"I stumbled through the darkness(always dark in these nightmare ones), calling out for help and heaving in big breaths. I started to panic. A menacing laugh (I mean seriously) rang in my ears, and then I saw him (the 'ole don't give away the villain' trick). Suddenly I was falling (they always are). I awoke with a jolt (couldn't just flick your eyes open?). I was covered in sweat (bit OTT but OK). A light was coming in the window; it was morning (Reader is infuriated at both the trickery of the dream start and how the author must point out the obvious reality that it is morning). I heard my mother call downstairs; I groaned thinking of school (twenty euro says the mother is a single mom and that the male protagonist is unpopular in school). I threw on an old t-shirt and some jeans I found on the floor (why do they always insist on putting on terrible clothes from the floor? Oh yes, as usual, his room is messy).
I'm not going to continue, but the rest of this story always follows like this; 'grabs toast just after popping because the yellow school bus is outside and he is late and he goes on the bus and averts his gaze from the footballers and sits alone and then his one friend comes on who has something quirky about them or is a nerd'. If your short story is in that format, go kick it across the room right now (DISCLAIMER: piece may be good but at this stage we've all seen that a hundred times). At this stage, ye get my point. A dream sequence if not needed wrecks any chance of a good opening, and fixes the idea in the readers mind; "The person who wrote this is a massive Richard" (no nicknames allowed).
2. Character description. Please don't overload it.
Characters are the most important part of your story. They're what's main, what the whole thing revolves around and depends on. If the reader can't see them, they won't get very involved in your piece. As a result you need to describe them both physically and mentally (if the protagonist). However this has invariably led to a great deal of over description in many stories. Here's a simple rule to live by: always think of describing your characters as trying to make a friend recollect someone they vaguely know. You never say to your friend, "Oh you know Peter, the guy with the eyes and the nose?". Nobody can identify with that. It isn't discriminating. Think of default on Fifa, and try work around it. What you do say to your friend is, "You know Peter, the guy with the scar by his left eye and the big chin?" granted Peter comes off as a bit of an ugly, violent man, but you see my point. as humans we pick up subtle differentiating characteristics. The only run of the mill things we always need to know are height/build and hair colour. For example, if I tell you I am tall, average build and have dark brown hair, you can surely already get someway towards picturing me. What you never want to do in your English essays is have your character stare into a mirror and go "I saw my hazel hair and my electric blue eyes. I was of average build, but hit the gym when I could. My nose was rather slender and long and my ears stuck out to the same degree as a normal human specimen's would." OK, I admit I overdone it near the end, but you see where I'm coming from. Anybody writing first person must NEVER say their hair is hazel or their eyes are electric blue. If someone told me that was their features I'd think, "Wow, what an arrogant Richard (seriously I'm going clean on this one)." Anybody writing 3rd person, keep it simple enough. In a short story we don't need to picture them as well as you do. Leave some up to the reader. It is unfair to assume the reader can't fill in some gaps themselves, and thus throw in every fragment of visual imagery you can think of. Hair colour and height are usually a must, unless you state an age and we can assume their build. Eye colour is of variable importance. Just highlight their striking features, and all is fine.
3. Keep the pace consistent
Unless your narrative demands it, don't go cooling and heating up the pace on those words. We need a heightened pace near the conflict, and especially at the climax. We need a slow pace when we're aiming towards that. Other than that a consistent pace is expected. Nothing is worse than reading of somebody going into massive detail for the act of pulling on a jumper, only to use three lines to get to school, have classes, and eat lunch. It just doesn't sit right with the reader. It's fine to skip the boring parts, but make sure it's consistent. Don't tell me "His feet shuffled along the floorboards, making small tapping sounds and coming to a rest in the doorway. The doorway was huge and made of mahogany and slightly worn" only to then say "about four days later". it should write itself naturally in any case, but sometimes when we get nervous and want to jump to the good part, we take a huge leap and wreck the whole thing. Monitoring the level of detail and keeping an eye on how fast time is passing in-story should sort that out.
Yes, this is an obvious one, but it would surprise people how many stories an English teacher might laugh at when they realise nothing has happened in the 3,000 words that are there. Conflict is huge in any work of fiction, but in a short story, it may as well be the corner stone. People like small stories because they get a small work load coupled with a nice piece of action. One way this might occur is if you go into too much detail at the start; a common mistake that stems from finding yourself in a new world and wanting to explore it (I admit, everyone does this). Make sure you know what the problem is at the start, and always work towards it. If you're confident of your ability, you might even throw in subtle hints of what the reader should expect; dropping them into dialogue and making use of literary fancies like pathetic fallacy. OK, so pathetic fallacy might not be SO fancy, but it has pathetic in it, it sounds cool. If you plan ahead, the conflict will always arise, and a good grader will pick up on the fact that you had control of the plot all the way through. Never try squash in your action at the end. What you want there in terms of action may be a twist, but never your main predicament.
5. Little language things that go a long way……to ruining your entire story
Language matters. In some cases, up to half the marks might go to your use of it. I'm not gonna try preach about grammar. I myself struggle with that. But the control of your language is VERY important, especially in short stories where description is abundant. At my age, and so at the age of college students and high school finishers, it may be tempting to throw down all the new words you are learning. Please refrain from this. What will drown your entire piece is too much adjectives, too much adverbs and too much ways of trying to say something. Adjectives are great; they help us see the world we're writing. Sometimes though, it might be best leaving them out. Read the following sentence: "I ran down to the red door which opened into a wide, cold barn which was dark except for the small, wax candle in the centre." It's not TOO bad. At times though, especially when the pace is picking up, that looks cluttered. When you're getting to action, strip back all those big adjectives. The same goes for adverbs; "I ran swiftly down to the door which hung limply. Opening it, I saw a candle burning brightly and faintly lighting the room." Putting in too many adverbs is telling the reader: "you're not smart enough to get what I mean. Therefore, I will spell out every action for you. IS THAT..OK…WITH YOU?" Readers, teachers in particular, don't need your help. Try use something else to show verbs in action. It boils down to the old saying "show, don't tell". If you tell me he "ran hurriedly into class", I get the point but frown on how babyish you treat me. If you say "Glen ran into the room; his bag crashing off the door and his books flying everywhere", I know Glen was in a hurry. Either that or Glen is a nutjob. As for trying to say something, simple is fine in most cases. It gets painful reading exclaimed, replied, answered, shouted, muttered, murmured, screamed and announced after a while. Unless the person is actually doing these, 'said' is perfectly fine. Similar to above, by using these words you tell rather than shwo. By adding different points, you can empower the reader. Instead of saying 'Glen announced', try say 'said Glen, his voice carrying to the far parts of the room'. At times, the word announced is fine; it's short and we get it. But if you want your work to look less lazy, strive to cut out those little twists on said and embrace the simple form of talking.
6. Dialogue, dialogue, dialogue.
Not my strongest point as far as my own secondary school essays show, but worth a point in this note. As a younger writer, dialogue rarely crops up. This is normal. We are used to taking action over talking, guns over words, and explosions over conversation. But the pen is mightier than the the sword, or the tongue is in this case (that's why I cut all my meals with my tongue…..OK, sorry, that was being a Richard). By the age of 15-16 though, we begin to appreciate the place of words in our stories. So do correctors and teachers. Why, you may ask? It's simple really. A short piece of dialogue can explain the details of a situation far more sneakily than your own exposition. For instance, I may tell you "The school was flooded. All the classrooms were out of use and so the students had to crowd into the gymnasium for lessons". However I could also do the following;
"What's the rush, school doesn't start for an hour", said Richard.
"We need to get there early, our class if flooded, remember?", said Glen.
"if our class is flooded why are we even going?" (notice here I can leave out the verb, due to the fact that we can tell who is talking)
"Lessons are in the gymnasium, I won't be late!"
Peter, the boys' father, broke in, "Will ye two Richards come on? I won't wait around all day for ye two idiots."
Sorry about that last part, as well as being ugly and violent; Peter is a terrible alcoholic. As ye can see, I got the same information across in both cases. Either is perfectly fine.However using dialogue we do have the added bonus of character building. Here we see Richard is forgetful and lazy. Glen is studious and on top of things. Peter is….well Peter doesn't have much going for him does he? Good dialogue helps make your characters real and identifiable to the teacher. They stand out more, and go a long way towards making your grade a better one. Shorter dialogue is all the fashion now. Unless the point is for the speaker to be drawn out and boring, keep it snappy and charged with emotion.
7. Stay in character.
Nothing screams "I was out of ideas" more than betraying your characters. That doesn't mean killing them off. By all means, kill those imaginary people (a quote from controversial child psychologist Kyle Malone). But as a story progresses we get a sense of what someone is. Even over a page or two we know who we're dealing with. Don't have some shy loser suddenly slam dunk a basketball or get the hot girl (I mean seriously if I'm not dunking a basketball there's no way the other losers get to). Keep your characters..well..your characters. The only time it is excusable for someone to break character is when a)their whole personality was a ruse or b) they experience a traumatic event. I'm sure there's other ways it can happen, but those stand out. If you have your protagonist wrestle a bear just for some action (and because you also hate grizzlies and all they stand for) then an examiner will know you're a cheat. It's be to tailor your action for your characters. Action can be an argument or a small scuffle. Not everybody has to storm Normandy or shoot Hitler (NB Hitler may actually have to shoot Hitler). The more realistic a character's choices are in the face of adversity, the more likely a teacher will believe them and bump up your marks.
8. Avoid clichés, they're as old as the bible itself.
Yes, we all do these too. In a short story, keep your vigilance up to make sure none of these slip in. In four-five pages you can make a good impression. In a novel a small cliché goes unnoticed, forgotten behind all the really good stuff. In a short story it stands out; it's a blemish on your work and your credentials. A cliché doesn;t have to be an overused phrase. If your story is a short story on a boy who attends a magical school with two geeky friends…COME ON. It really needs to be original enough for short story. You only need like one event, so really you have no excuse if you throw in a cliché in the hope a proven track can please your corrector. You need something that wows your reader, something they haven't seen before or something old in a different light. Original short story ideas always stand well with correctors, and guarantee higher marks.
9. You don't need a twist
Twists are fine. They end up in a lot of short stories, a final joust to the reader and a lasting memory. It's a good thing. But don't throw one in for a two second shock effect if it destroys everything before it. A good story gets a good grade. But if it ends in a twist that shouldn't be there…no. A wrong twist would be something like having someone being hit by a bus for no reason other than to add sadness to your piece. Or perhaps you will kill off half of a romance just to try make it gripping. Please refrain if it isn't your original intention. If you get to the end of your work and decide there should be a twist, WARNING LIGHTS SHOULD BE GOING OFF. A twist should be something you decide on initially, and even then should be carefully considered. To sum up, a good twist should add to the piece, not take away from it and leave the corrector feeling sour.
10. Fill your plot holes
These are real deal breakers. If your plot doesn't make sense, and the whole thing is like four pages, you're doomed. A short story needs to anchor on a well-thought out plot. Why is Glen running back into that burning building? Why is Richard taking a scary route home from school for the first time? You can't just throw in a fun plot for the sake of it; the thing has to fit together like a jigsaw. In a small snippet of time, it actually is difficult to make plot holes. That is why they're so criminal. If peter decides to drive after alcohol, why is that? Is he mad? Is he in a rush? What makes Peter break the law? If the plot is consistent and self explanatory, the whole story writes itself a lot easier. It should flow when you read it. Your teacher or lecturer should never have to ask why this is happening. They should want to ask questions, but about the story itself, never about the design of it.
I might do more of these sometime, but for now, I hope these make your English answers a little easier in the coming academic year.

Tesco boss slams Marmite for using the weak pound as an excuse to raise prices
Chief exec Dave Lewis broke his silence over a spat last month between Britain's biggest supermarket and multinational manufacturer Unilever
THE boss of Tesco last night spoke out to criticise the makers of Marmite - for using the weak pound as an excuse to raise prices.
Chief exec Dave Lewis broke his silence over a spat last month between Britain's biggest supermarket and multinational manufacturer Unilever.
Tesco ran out of some stock of Unilever products, which also include Pot Noodle and PG Tips, in October after its supplier tried to enforce price hikes of 10 per cent.
But yesterday Mr Lewis, who used to work for Unilever, said price rises "need to be legitimate".
He added: "We buy virtually everything for our own label, so there isn't an ingredient or a commodity out there that we don't have very good insight into...
"We're not naive to the fact that there's inflationary pressure.
"You see it already in some categories. Pork has been affected much sooner than other [foods]."

But he added: "I spent 28 years of my life working for a multinational business and there are currency pressures, particularly in Latin America.
"But multinational businesses present results in constant and reported exchange rates and the City understands...the volatility of currencies."
He added: "I would ask companies in those positions to not ask UK consumers to pay inflated prices in order that their reported currency is maintained."
Mr Lewis later added it was other companies' "right to try and increase prices, but it is Tesco's right to say we will no longer stock them if they do without a justified reason".

The Flower Power concept sticks are inspired by last year's insanely popular 4 Series. We have taken the best elements and improved the details and the finishing in general. A matte metallic paint gives these sticks an overall premium look and incredible feel.
All Concept sticks are built mainly with a minimum of 6 layers of 3K Japanese Carbon Fibre, laid down in alternating orientations for the optimal balance of stiffness and unique Osaka feel.
The ALL NEW Osaka Mid Bow combines the sleek and technical profile of the Pro Bow with the more traditional bow shape of the previous Mid Bow. The maximum bow point lies at 300mm from the cross with a max height of 24mm. The chunkiness of the previous shape has been exchanged for a slimmer and all-around faster profile. This design focuses on the modern style of play while retaining the gently curving glory of old.

Growing up in the Ice Cream Truck era, I didn't associate the frozen delicacy with patience. In fact, to my truck-chasing child mind, ice cream meant instant gratification, provided I had a buck in my sock. But making homemade ice cream fit for a sustainable rancher's strict low-carbon diet requires what even the patient would call patience. In my case, several years' worth.
First, I peeled back two entire calendars, waiting for Natalie, the tiny goat kid I got off Craigslist, to produce milk. That was the bearable part of the wait, because Natalie, her sister Melissa, and now Natalie's daughter Nico (all named after singers I like but think sound a little goat-like—Natalie Merchant, Melissa Etheridge and the Velvet Underground's Nico) have been such pleasurable additions to the family. Like last week, when Natalie crept in through the dog door and made herself at home with some lettuce I had left within reach on the counter.
But the real trial in my 38-year wait for homemade ice cream was without question that last four-hour block, spent dealing with an ice cream maker a friend had loaned me. Like the Griswalds on their never-ending trip to Wallyworld in the first National Lampoon's Vacation movie, there seemed always one more step to take before I'd reach my decadent destination. I needed, for example, to chill the inner chamber of the ice cream maker (the freezer can) for several hours (eons!) to prevent plutonium ice cream rocks. This I learned to my dread when I Googled "best organic goat ice cream recipes." The warning was clear: Unchilled machinery results in petrified ice cream.
After a while, the delay even began to take its toll on innocent civilians. My hiking friend KB, for example, went home unsatiated after a grueling trek, when it turned out my promise of post-hike strawberry ice cream was an embarrassing false alarm. Age the goat milk, for crying out loud? Scald the sweetened mixture? But the multitudinous virtual recipes I cross-referenced did corroborate one another.
Ice cream is not only a food group for me, it's also a hugely important symbol of the good life, lived sustainably. It's the explicit reason I became an organic goat herder (to the detriment of nearly any other activity in my life). I wanted to prove that one needn't eat only dirt outside one's remote cabin in order to keep the old carbon footprint low. So I shifted my ice cream base of operations from the Ben and Jerry's factory 2,400 miles away to right here on the Ranch. OK, the vanilla I used in the recipe came from Old Mexico, just south of my New Mexico home, and I'm considering using some local honey to sweeten the mixture in future. But even the eggs in the custard-style ice cream recipe were from my Funky Butte Ranch chickens, laid that very morning. That first batch was about as low in carbon miles as ice cream can get. Even the freezer that made the ice is solar-powered.
The verdict, according to the taste buds that have eaten an average of 1.6 bowls of ice cream per day, every day of my life? Truth be told, it was a bit watery in the middle. I'd had some last-minute technical difficulties due to my inexperience with the ice cream maker and lack of advanced degrees in molecular chemistry (necessary to balance the ice/rock salt ratio). Also, I'm not an electrical engineer (the plug had a short).
But the taste? I say this not just because the milk came from Natalie, who I've raised since before she was weaned. Not just because I am a sugar addict. And, truly, not just because my favorite dessert will now finally and forevermore be guilt-free (except for calories): This week's strawberry ice cream was best tasting bowl I've ever had, bar none. Better than Ben and Jerry's Half Baked, and even Breyers Chocolate. I sat in bed and ate the first two bowls out of my favorite dish—the one with the monkeys on it. Full disclosure: I spilled a lot of it on the bed, which resulted in ant nightmares all night. It was worth it. Nothing could ruin this genuine triumph, a life milestone for me.
A lot of time, love, and work went into that first (nearly) carbon-free bite of Funky Butte Ranch Organic Strawberry Ice Cream. Nathalie's daily milking alone has made my wrists muscular to the point that they would raise the suspicion of Olympic doping testers. But you know what? Almost no carbon miles went into the whole process. And maybe by next year my peach trees will have matured enough that I'll be able to try peach ice cream. Never have I meant it more literally when I say, sweet.

Off With Her Head And Privatisation.
Many consider privatisation in Western countries to be a failed experiment of the 1980s and 1990s, yet it is the backbone of the current Tory government in Britain.
In their pursuit to sell off the family silver the Tories might well do away with the monarch.
On stamps, that is.
You can almost hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth from Neanderthal Tories and backwoodsmen as they contemplate the demise of Queen Elizabeth from British stamps, the Guardian has more on that possibility:
"The coalition is looking for a way to ensure that the Queen's head is not removed from stamps if the Royal Mail is sold to a foreign buyer, business secretary Vince Cable said today.
Since the "penny black" went on sale in 1864, every British stamp has borne the profile of the reigning monarch. However, the government is now in talks with Buckingham palace after it was pointed out that there is no explicit guarantee that the tradition would continue if the Royal Mail is sold.
Speaking on BBC One's Andrew Marr Show, Cable said: "We have thought very hard about how we protect the brand – the royal family. There is provision within the legislation to stop the abuse of it," he said. "But now it has been pointed out that there's nothing specifically to stop whoever runs the Royal Mail in future dropping the royal head.
"I think it is unlikely they would, because it is a very powerful brand, but we will talk to the palace about whether any further changes need to be made."
The postal services bill to enable the sell-off gives the Queen a veto over any use of her image, but does not insist that her head is shown."

Massive cuts – no problem[ rises in taxes and tuition fees – fine… But I bet that the poltroon who is my local MP will be up in arms over this. Perhaps the only benefit arising from the coalition is that Rosindell did not go from being a shadow minister to being a real one.
Well, Vince Cable would like to dump the Monarch.s head from the stamps
So would you by the sound of it.
Sorry, about your work situation as you are a decent man. The truth is that the days of the ever expanding safety net are over. The safety nets were designed in a time when global competition was not as fierce.
Across the pond we are headed to this as well. Barring a miracle like Bin Ladden getting caught or the mother of all terrorist strikes on the USA Obama is finnished. The federal workers except military types are in for trimming. Many people hung on looking for a buy out. A couple died waiting for offers that never came. Now the tactic is to give senior people demeaning work . Two have retired and another two have had heart attacks.
Cutting the royals won't do much. That being said you know how this American loathes royalty.
I feel sorry about the college cuts. However, as higher ed tied itself dangerously to political extremists it left itself vulnerable when the opposition gets in power. Perhaps, it is time those in higher ed learned that they need to focus on their jobs and quit the bombastic political rhetoric.
"Many consider privatisation in Western countries to be a failed experiment of the 1980s and 1990s…"
I don't know. Mostly they were a good idea. Many of those who object simply want everything run by officials, for the benefit of the staff, not the public. These people need to be put out of the room, for they don't care whether any of these public services work, only that public money should be used to employ large numbers of voters who can be relied on to vote socialist. It's a form of corruption.
It was certainly right to privatise a whole slew of industries. The government cannot do anything efficiently and never could — as long ago as 1663, Samuel Pepys remarked "I see that the King cannot buy things as cheaply as other men" when inspecting the royal dockyards. The privatisation of British Telecom was a resounding success. Getting British Leyland's hand out of all our wallets was likewise very good news for the rest of us. The logic behind privatising the water industry was that huge investment was required, which government could never do.
But some of the later privatisations were very strange. Privatising the arms factories, for instance — how does that work? How do they drum up business? — start a war?
The way in which the railways were privatised seem calculated to enrich those purchasing franchises, but to prevent investment. No-one could imagine anything worse than British Rail, but the lazy and incompetent staff promptly found that they could hide behind the mass of companies created and really did make things much worse. The Major government looked corrupt, in many of these privatisations. Likewise there was a scandal when DERA was privatised, making the taxpayer a huge loss, but a few civil servants very rich.
The privatisation of the gas and electricity boards was not self-evidently daft, but, twenty years on, has had unforeseen consequences. All the companies have been bought by foreign corporations — some of them state-owned — which have no incentive to invest, and every incentive to jack up prices until people starve. After all, they don't feel the pain they inflict. Water companies are going the same way. It seems right to renationalise all these, therefore, simply because we cannot sensibly have this situation where pensioners die every winter because a group of French businessmen feel like gouging "les rostbifs".
The privatisation of the Royal Mail is a strange idea. It is hard to see the logic. But one thing is clear, from all the previous privatisations — the civil servants currently running Royal Mail stand to get very rich. I smell corruption.
An efficient and reliable post office is an essential. I do not see how privatisation will help this, and I can see many ways in which it will not.

Okay, okay—we get it. When you think of vacationing in Cancún, you might have visions of college parties and sugary frozen drinks on a crowded beach. But before you go and judge a location by throwback MTV standards, remember this Mexican oasis is popular among world travelers for a reason. While there is a side of Cancún that boozes until dawn, there is also a slew of luxury resorts and hidden gems that offer the best of the best. From private butlers that tend to your every wish to sommelier-led tastings and tours through local communities, your next Caribbean vacation should be at one of these sought-after Cancún destinations.
Spend the Night on a Luxury Catamaran
Located in Punta Nizuc, Cancún, this four-star hotel ensures that your getaway is filled with more than margaritas by focusing on mind and body, too. Its Be Well package helps you stay healthy and active, and factors in a little R&R, too. For an additional cost, you can also book an afternoon on the NIZUC at Sea. This 56-foot-long catamaran can host up to six passengers (or just two, for a little private romance) and comes complete with an onboard butler, a chef, a full staff of servers, champagne, and caviar. If you're feeling like flippin' your fins, the boat can take you to the Museo Subacuático de Arte's deeper scuba dive sites, or for something more chill, you can simply sail down the Mayan Riviera.
Sample Wine With a Sommelier
Appropriately named, this adults-only resort is a must-visit for wine connoisseurs who want to vacation with a side of merlot. The on-site winery offers more than 3000 varieties of vino from all around the world, allowing you to explore your palette while looking out over the sweet blue Caribbean Sea. Each day, you and your travel buddy can attend a sommelier-led wine tasting at The Vine Bar, or if you want to try something new, you can also taste tequila, too.
Depending on what type of vacation you're craving, this resort also allows you to upgrade to Unlimited Luxury, which is an elevated way to enjoy an all-inclusive experience. Though the rate will include the traditional perks that all-inclusives offer, you will also enjoy 24-hour concierge service and a no-wristband rule, so your style isn't called into question.
Dance Off Your Workweek Stress
Need to blow off some steam from your hectic work schedule? Release and dance out that stress at this lifestyle resort that isn't just luxurious and beautiful—it's also just a really fun time. While you're lounging by the pool (Corona in hand, obviously), you can bliss out to the beats of a resident DJ, who offers music styles from pop and funk to jazz and house every day. The resort calls this perk the Rhythm Experience, and it extends well into the evening, where you might enjoy their Champagne & Sparkles party on Saturday night or an authentic Mayan fire show once it gets dark on Fridays.
Live Out Your A-List Dreams With a Personal Butler
This AAA five-diamond-awarded property is beloved for good reason. As the number one Cancún resort on TripAdvisor and the number two luxury all-inclusive hotel in the world, this resport doesn't skimp on anything. Our favorite offering is its personal butler service. Assigned to you at check-in, no matter what you need, he or she makes it happen for you. Unpack your bags for you? Check. Make restaurant reservations? Done. Draw you a bath with high-end products? Sure. In addition to this hands-on approach that allows you to be on island time, you also have the option of a pillow menu, a nightly aromatherapy menu, and, of course, a private beach if you want to be alone with your loved one.
Just make sure you don't check-out before your butler books you an appointment at the renowned spa. There are 19 treatment suites, including hydrotherapy suites to help detox your body and a sauna and steam room where a hostess will sprinkle cinnamon on your face or apply cucumbers to your eyes. Consider the signature massage, the Kukulcan, which is a sacred Mayan ritual that lasts 80 minutes and includes two massage therapists at once.
Wander Ancient Ruins
Traveling doesn't just mean spa treatments and gourmet food, but embracing the culture and community of the country you're visiting, too. For a true glimpse into both history and local traditions, consider adding the Viva Mexico Package at JW Marriott Cancún or CasaMagna Marriott. Though it includes an ocean-view room, breakfast for two, a tequila tasting for two, and a one-day beachfront cabana, our favorite perk is the private tour to the colorful town of Valladolid to see the Ek' Balam ruins. Only about a one and a half hour drive from Cancún, you can learn about Mexico's beginnings and try dishes created by natives while you're on-site.
Learn to Master Mexican Cuisine
If your idea of a true vacation includes sampling the local fare, then it's a no-brainer to book your trip at The Ritz-Carlton. The hotel group's Cancún property is the only one that offers the Culinary Center, which features a chef's counter overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Here, the residential-style kitchen allows you to enjoy formal cooking casually led by a trained chef. Each session not only includes decadent food, but the chef will share their best advice, tips, and history of the culturally inspired menus he or she selects. You can expect every flavor, from Mexican food to local Yucatan cuisine, and a deep dive into the gastronomic selections of various regions in the country. Hungry yet?
Treat Your S.O. to an Aphrodisiac Dinner
Designed for honeymooners or long-term couples who need to reconnect with one another, Temptation Resorts are not only about romance and privacy but intimacy, too. Currently undergoing a multimillion dollar reservation that'll be complete in August, Temptation wanted to ensure everything from the rooms to the food was centered around love. That's why they're opening the property's signature aphrodisiac restaurant, which will encourage couples to explore their sensual side of dining, discovering what scents, flavors, and dishes get them in the mood.
Have you been to Cancún lately? Tell us which resort you'd recommend.

The new year is around the corner and I hope you're getting ready to rock it! Here are some rituals you can do to start the new year with good vibes:
1.Let go of people and emotions that do not serve you. Cut selfish or shallow friendships, and end toxic relationships. Write down a list of emotions or habits that do not let you move forward, such as negative thoughts or procrastination. Once you've written your list, burn it! This is a nice ritual to do at the beginning or end of the year, but you can do it whenever you feel that you are carrying too much baggage. Let go of that baggage, and start fresh.
2. Do a general cleaning. Clean your desk, and organize your books and notebooks. This will give you more clarity when you're setting new goals. Clean your pantry, throw away expired products, and fill it with awesome food. Clean up your social media platforms as well. Unfollow negative people and fill your news feeds with positive news. When it comes to your wardrobe, donate old pieces of clothes. Give away clothes that don't fit you, and get rid of the extra clutter.
3. Fix or end projects. Fix or finish projects that you've been delaying for a while. If you decide to continue with a task that's been stuck for some time, elaborate a plan to execute it during the new year and complete that task. You will have an easier time focusing on your new projects once you know you've completed/dismissed your old ones.
4. Write a list of character strengths. Rather than writing a list of New Year's resolutions, write a list of the character strengths you would like to adopt, such as kindness, spirituality, or gratitude. Think of the habits you'll need to adopt in order to cultivate those strengths. For example, if you would like to develop more gratitude, start writing in a gratitude journal. Or, if you would like to be more spiritual, start a meditation routine.
5. Write a loving letter. Write a love letter to yourself. Recognize your strengths and victories. Make an apology for the times you weren't kind to yourself. Make a commitment with yourself that from now on, you'll treat yourself with love and respect. If you'd like some inspiration, you can read the letter I wrote for myself here.
6. Make a happiness jar. The idea is that every time you feel joy about something, you write it on a piece of paper and put it in a jar. Whenever you feel sad, pick one paper from the jar and read it out loud. This will remind you of the good things in your life and immediately will cheer you up. The last day of the year, open the jar and read all of your papers!
Last but not least, download my FREE eBook. Read through it, and complete the exercises inside. I've even included some of the things I've mentioned in this post. It is full of inspiration and it will help you make the most of 2018.
I want to see you shine!

What's the maximum filesize of an email?
Hi all,
I know the html without images needs to be under 100kb for Gmail and Yahoo! Mail, but what filesize (with images) do you guys think is the maximum for an email?
Most of the time I am using a maximum of 250kb including images rule. But isn't this a little bit outdated?
I'm curious what you guys think of this.

"I promise."
I hate that phrase. I despise it, because about 95% of the time, it is pointless, flung out of the mouth of another person probably without them thinking. In fact, I hate when anyone promises me anything, because it is usually a lie or yet more empty words.
Lies and empty words seem to be points that I am continuously coming back to these days, but unfortunately they are far too common and regularly uttered by individuals. Why is it so hard to genuinely mean what you say?
Words should measure up with your actions, except that often isn't the case anymore and I don't understand why. It frustrates me, because the words shouldn't leave your mind if you didn't mean them in the first place. I guess it's my fault though for having some sort of expectation – you shouldn't expect anything from anyone. Most have the tendency to let you down.
However, nothing angers me more than people throwing around the word promise and not following through with what they "promised" to do or suddenly switching up on you. People are way too inconsistent, especially males, and I am freaking tired of it. Just be who you are, follow through on your words and stop switching up your personality. I honestly don't know what to think of some individuals anymore, and I hate that, because then I don't know how to act around them.
The only promises I can truly trust and believe in are God's promises, because I know His words are truth. My God has never switched up on me and I know he never, ever will. His promises are the only ones that matter and the only ones I can take seriously, because His words have never been empty.

Facts about San Marcos, CA
San Marcos is a city in the North County region of San Diego County in the U.S. state of California. As of the 2010 census, the city's population was 83,781. It is the site of California State University San Marcos. The city is bordered by Escondido to the east, Encinitas to the southwest, Carlsbad to the west, and Vista to the northwest. Lake San Marcos is an enclave, or county island, in the southwestern part of the city, within San Marcos' sphere of influence but technically an unincorporated community.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 24.4 square miles (63 km²). 24.4 square miles (63 km²) of it is land and 0.02 square miles (0.052 km²) of it (0.08%) is water. Due to the moderating influence of the nearby Pacific, temperatures rarely fall below freezing in winter and above 90 degress F. in summer. Like most of coastal San Diego County, cool overcast from the Pacific is common in May and June ("May gray", "June gloom"). July through September are usually the warmest months, although hot and dry Santa Ana winds can strike any month (most common Autumn) and raise risks of wildfires. Most of the rain falls between November and March, averaging about 13 inches per year, with up to 20 inches falling in the San Marcos Hills.
The 2010 United States Census reported that San Marcos had a population of 83,781. The population density was 3,435.1 people per square mile (1,326.3/km²). The racial makeup of San Marcos was 53,235 (63.5%) White, 1,967 (2.3%) African American, 591 (0.7%) Native American, 7,518 (9.0%) Asian, 322 (0.4%) Pacific Islander, 15,853 (18.9%) from other races, and 4,295 (5.1%) from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 30,697 persons (36.6%).
The Census reported that 82,937 people (99.0% of the population) lived in households, 736 (0.9%) lived in non-institutionalized group quarters, and 108 (0.1%) were institutionalized.
There were 27,202 households, out of which 11,724 (43.1%) had children under the age of 18 living in them, 15,242 (56.0%) were opposite-sex married couples living together, 3,056 (11.2%) had a female householder with no husband present, 1,513 (5.6%) had a male householder with no wife present. There were 1,372 (5.0%) unmarried opposite-sex partnerships, and 186 (0.7%) same-sex married couples or partnerships. 5,168 households (19.0%) were made up of individuals and 2,370 (8.7%) had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 3.05. There were 19,811 families (72.8% of all households); the average family size was 3.49.

This latest issue British Forces anti-static mesh-fabric short sleeve t-shirt has been specially manufactured by a UK-MoD approved supplier.
Base Layer
Fibres are not round, but are slightly oblong in cross-section with grooves running lengthwise along the threads.
The series of closely spaced channels creates capillary action that wicks moisture through the core and out to a wider area on the surface of the fabric which increases evaporation.
The fabrics employ specially-engineered polyester fibres to improve "breathability" compared to natural fibres like cotton.
'Wick away' or 'wickaway' is a general term used for fabrics that are engineered to draw moisture away from the skin through capillary action and increased evaporation over a wider surface area.

Partnership Helps Lenders Get Closing Costs Right
Ernst Publishing Company, the leading provider of technology and closing cost data for the real estate and home finance industries for the past 27 years, announced today the integration of First American Mortgage Solutions services into its closing cost search and fee management software. The seamless connection allows Ernst's lender clients to quickly and accurately get title, settlement and recording fee quotes from First American Mortgage Solutions and use them to populate the loan estimate required in many residential real estate transactions.
"Lenders working today need access to information from their third-party partners as if it were residing within their own systems," said Gregory E. Teal, president and chief executive officer of Ernst Publishing. "Today's consumers and regulators are demanding it and this new integration is another way for lenders to get it. We have a rich history of innovation at Ernst, spanning more than 26 years.
Featured Sponsors:
"First American's integration with Ernst demonstrates our commitment to helping lenders deliver high-quality mortgage loans that efficiently meet today's regulatory requirements and homebuyer expectations for superior service," said Kevin Wall, president of First American Mortgage Solutions. "Lenders now have another way to quickly access accurate title, settlement and recording fee quotes from First American."
First American Mortgage Solutions provides lenders and servicers with end-to-end solutions covering the entire lifecycle of the residential loan, from origination to post-closing and from servicing to default services.
Lenders now have one-button access to First American Mortgage Solutions through Ernst's closing cost search and fee management software. Ernst uses XML requests to directly query First American Mortgage Solutions for guaranteed-accurate fees and then propagate that information throughout all of Ernst's technology solutions, from its innovative web interface and mobile solutions to the many custom fee engines deployed by lenders around the industry.
Ernst programs process an average of 150 million real estate transactions every year, industry-wide. Since the company was founded 27 years ago, Ernst has processed over 1 billion transactions. Ernst estimates that its technology is used for 90% of the nation's new loan originations and refinance transactions. For a complete list of the company's innovations, visit the website.

Many Western pundits claim the Muslim Brotherhood has little power and simply wants to play a peaceful role in Egyptian democracy. But what do the Muslim Brotherhood's history and its leaders' pronouncements tell us? Is their goal to create a free democratic system . . . or is it to hijack democracy in the service of an autocratic Islamist revolution?
What are the facts?
Founded in Egypt in 1928, the Muslim Brotherhood has been an immensely powerful force in Middle East politics, now boasting chapters in 80 countries. Its mission statement: "Allah is our objective; the Quran is our constitution, the Prophet is our leader; Jihad is our way; and death for the sake of Allah is the highest of our aspirations."
The Brotherhood's founder, Hassan al-Banna, stated that the group's goal was to assert Islam's manifest destiny and create an empire governed by Islamic religious law and unified in an autocratic caliphate. He claimed "It is in the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated, to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet."
In 1948, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood assassinated the Egyptian Prime Minister, and the group has been banned in Egypt since 1954, after it attempted to assassinate Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser. A Brotherhood splinter group assassinated President Anwar Sadat in 1981.
The Muslim Brotherhood's most influential leader was Sayyid Qutb, a racist, anti-Semite, misogynist and hater of the United States. His pro-Islamist and anti-Western hatred had enormous influence on Ayman Zawahiri, who went on to become a key mentor of Osama bin Laden and is today the number-two leader of al-Qaeda.
Despite its murderous history, the Muslim Brotherhood claims to have renounced violence—but it makes notable exceptions, including approval of terrorist acts by its Palestinian wing, Hamas, whose charter calls for the murder of Jews and the obliteration of Israel. What's more, former Muslim Brotherhood Supreme Commander Muhammed Madhi Akef declared he was "prepared to send 10,000 jihad fighters immediately to fight at the side of Hezbollah" during the Lebanese terrorist group's 2006 war against Israel.
Given its history of murder and warlike declarations, the Brotherhood's claim to non-violence rings false. Consider finally a September 2010 sermon by Muslim Supreme Guide Muhammed Badi, who explained that the "change that the [Muslim] nation seeks can only be attained through jihad . . . by raising a jihadi generation that pursues death just as our enemies pursue life."
Many commentators assert that the Brotherhood is a weak fringe group—yet the facts contradict this. Despite the Brotherhood's illegal status in Egypt, it is immensely influential—controlling the country's main lawyers and physicians associations and numerous welfare organizations. In the 2005 election, even under intense persecution by the Mubarak regime, the group's "independent" candidates won 20 percent of the seats in parliament. Indeed, the Muslim Brotherhood is the best-organized, best financed political group in Egypt, second only to Mubarak's deposed ruling party.
We know that the Bolsheviks in Russia, Nazis in Germany, Islamists in Iran, and Hamas in the disputed Palestinian territories all started out as minority parties whose rise to power during political upheaval began democratically and ended in dictatorship—following the insidious pattern of "one man, one vote, one time." Given the Muslim Brotherhood's Islamist philosophy and goals, we can expect the same in Egypt, now or in the next few years.
How would the Brotherhood govern if it came to power? n 2006, the Muslim Brotherhood demanded that Egypt develop nuclear weapons. Recently a Brotherhood leader told interviewers that the Egyptian peace treaty with Israel would be abolished as soon as a provisional government is formed and that Egypt should prepare for war with Israel.
While Christians make up 10 percent of the Egyptian population and are already victims of discrimination and violent attacks, rule by the Brotherhood would be a nightmare, diminishing their rights to worship publicly or hold high office. As for women, the Brotherhood insists that they be segregated, their bodies completely covered in public, and that girls undergo genital mutilation.
To assess the Muslim Brotherhood's commitment to democracy, we should heed the words of its Spiritual Leader Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who maintains that "The civilizational-jihadist process . . . is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house . . . so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions."
While some pundits minimize the Muslim Brotherhood's threat, there's no doubt that the group fanatically opposes the United States, Israel and Western values, or that it will use both democratic and violent means to defeat them. Nor should we doubt that the Brotherhood is a powerful, well-organized political force that, if given enough power, would use it to crush the democratic process and turn Egypt into an anti-Western, fundamentalist Islamic state. Can we afford this risk?

A Stage Magician in a Variety Show
"Josephine and I were running through the backstage corridors of this beautifully ornate theatre. We were guiding ourselves by the exciting and powerful sparkle coming from the wings. We were already there, we could feel the audience's roar resonate between the horseshoe shaped wooden balconies."
Norvil, my debonair alter ego, performed his stage magician act Norvil & Josephine in the Leeds City Varieties Theatre a few weeks ago. For those who do not know, this handsome theatre has the honor of being one of the very few that have kept the variety genre alive in one of its traditional forms. Hat off from me!
Variety shows have been a natural habitat for a stage magician such as Norvil or the famous Harry Houdini, who performed his death-defying escapes in this same venue so many years ago (read about a Houdini act of mine going all wrong in a live show here). The once televised Leeds City Varieties' The Good Old Days (it ran for over 30 years on BBC), now hosted by the great Johnny Dennis, still rolls out every spring and autumn for you to immerse yourself in the Victorian-Edwardian music hall atmosphere.
"The majestic curtains opened! Oh! what a beautiful sight! Aren't these types of theatres marvellous? Less is more… they say. Well, I absolutely disagree. Who doesn't secretly love those sumptuous burgundy velvet curtains framed with glittery golden ribbons? That shine, that tingling soft texture… pure luxury! A stage magician's delight!"
Other variety shows that have kept the tradition alive in the UK have been the itinerant Royal Variety Performance or the famous London Palladium variety show, which has been revived this year by British television network ITV. But the genre has reinvented itself in the past few years, living some sort of renaissance these days.
It's gratifying to observe how the public favours variety again with new productions like La Clique (with Swedish comedy stage magician Carl-Einar Häckner), La Soiree at the Roundhouse, and London Wonderground with its cutting edge cabaret and variety in the London Southbank.
"My opening feat was to satisfy the audience's insatiable desire to cut 'the lady' Josephine in half. Having been reassembled multiple times, Josephine is not with the best of predispositions at the prospect. I must mention I always find myself amused at how effusively the respectable public stares opened-eyed with excitement at the matter… as if they would doubt my skill at bringing her back in to shape!"
Both traditional and new edgy versions of the genre are in essence the same… perfect exercises of escapism. The colourful and vibrantly exuberant performances compete with each other to offer the live viewer an apparently frivolous entertainment that conceals a high number of skills and crafts.
For example, the stage magician act Norvil & Josephine brings together magic with singing, dancing, and acrobatics. As I commented on a previous entry, a magic trick on its own is just a cold and naked gimmick. Magic comes alive with an engaging delivery, and this is ever more important for a stage magician in a variety act.
"Greet, slice, reassemble, float, sing, dance, slap, vanish, reappear, kick, tap, twist … and at the end… as a stage magician when the curtains fall I'm always devastated. It's hard to say good-bye to the delightfully decadent party atmosphere of a variety show. The people whispering, commenting, gasping, laughing… it's such a treat for me and for them."
However, some of the contemporary variety shows don't even have a single magic act – something remarkable if you consider the history of the genre. I would say that a variety show without magic is like a cake with no sugar. So who's up for all icing and sugar, a variety show with mostly stage magician acts?
All of you in London this weekend have the opportunity to attend the annual Magic & Variety Gala show produced by the International Magic Shop and hosted by the incomparable compère Noel Britten. They'll roll out three consecutive nights this year complete with stage magicians and other great international variety acts at the Mermaid Theatre.
Maybe see you there?
"While Josephine and I have our toes tapping around in the variety of the past, we're creatures of tonight. I'm a stage magician who loves those beautiful people out there in the dark and we're ready for them, to dazzle and delight."*
* excerpts from Norvil's diary.

Nothing says Satan like baking a gluten free dark chocolate cake infused with organic earl grey tea and vanilla. Hell yeah. If this cake was a Julio-Claudian emperor, it would definitely be Nero. Dark, wicked, donaldtrumprich and reckless, it's a little like death metal on the tongue. Now, this is me baking it, so it's still gluten free, organic, full of antioxidants and more wholesome sweeteners, but you're not going to hold that against me, are you.
300 g dark chocolate (70% this time)
50 g unsalted butter softened
12 eggs, separated
20 g rapadura sugar
1/3 cup maple syrup
Pinch of salt
3 teaspoons vanilla essence
1 tablespoon of good quality earl grey tea (I love Hampstead fairtrade earl grey)
Preheat your little hell box to 150 degrees, grease a heart shaped tin and line it with baking paper. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over boiling water, stir butter in once melted. Beat egg yolks and add maple syrup, the rapadura sugar, the earl grey and vanilla, keep beating until thick. Stir in the chocolate and butter. Beat the whites and add salt until peaks form. Mix the chocolate and the whites, set aside 1/4 of the mix and put in fridge for later. Pour the rest into the tin, bake for 30 - 40 minutes. Once it has cooled, spread with topping and dust some cocoa on top.
Eat this in front of some homesick pilgrims with vanilla bean ice cream or some good thick cream, the cake is so rich it easily overwhelms, so ice cream is needed to tame it a little. The next time I make this cake I want to try using a milk chocolate, the earl grey is incredibly strong and the result of mixing it with dark chocolate is intense to say the least, I think the bergamot would muddle more nicely in a lighter chocolate. That said, this is still a dense, delicious cake, but if you're into big servings or going to go for seconds, be sure to have your will finalised first. If you're salivating over the pictures and willing to kill to get some of this but too lazy to actually make it yourself, then thats Gluttony, Envy, Lust, Sloth and Greed you've got covered. If you're very mad about me taunting you with gorgeous chocolatey images while you're sitting at home, alone, with a bare fridge, then Wrath should be right as well. But if you are willing to beg me for a piece, then at least you don't have any Pride.
You'll need some confection confession. Baking on the wild side.

Making a few small changes to your garden can both attract, and, help you care for the country's wild population this autumn
As temperatures drop, food will become an increasingly scarce commodity for wildlife. So, what can you do to help your garden visitors? Well, GardenBuildingsDirect.co.uk have compiled eight tips that are guaranteed to help you attract some feathered friends to your outdoor area, while adhering to their basic needs.
1. Food
The colder months will mean it's harder for birds to get food, so they will flock to gardens that provide them with a ready supply of food. Whether you hang a bird feeders or opt for a DIY solution, there will be options for every type of garden, regardless of your budget.
2. Variety
You should ensure you have a variety of food on offer - seeds and nuts will be a staple, while high energy fat balls are a great option as it gets cooler outside.
3. Leftovers
Think about the birds when you come to throw away your leftovers. Bread has limited nutritional value, but out of date apples and fruit will be popular snacks for blackbirds, thrushes and similar.
4. Water
Bird baths will not only encourage birds into your backyard but also provide a place of shelter. If you merge a bird bath with another water feature, you then have the additional benefit of creating a real talking point in your garden. You just need to ensure you do not place one where the birds will feel threatened by cats or other predators. Another great option will be a small pond, as these attract wildlife too.
5. Nesting
One of the best ways to encourage birds to your backyard will be providing them with a place to shelter and nest. You can either buy one or, if you're feeling creative, why not take the chance to make your own? All you need to remember is that the size of the hole you make will determine the birds that you attract to nest there.
Place your bird box in a north-easterly direction and make sure predators will not be able to reach it - you should make it easily accessible, as it will be a good idea to clean it out annually. If you have no joy with enticing birds, you can try moving the boxes around every now and then too.
6. Shelter
It's great to see a bird use a nest box that you have put up - it's even more satisfying to see them create their own natural nest site. To do this, simply provide hedges which will offer dense cover.
7. Plants
Birds will normally live around plants where they can find food, roost and perch, so it will be a good idea to provide similar vegetation in your own back garden. Plants which offer food for birds will be a good place to start, with native berry species such as Holly, Ivy and Rowan all easy to grow. They also provide dense vegetation, meaning they are great for nesting.
If you get the chance, you should think about leaving a patch in your garden to go wild - this encourages grubs and bugs whch are great food for hungry birds. Another alternative will be a pile of cut logs.
8. Clean
It will be important to keep your feeders, tables, baths or nests as clean as possible, as birds can otherwise catch diseases from each other. You can reduce the risk by cleaning up and ensuring you don't leave too many leftovers.

Rafael Benítez was forced once again to defend his selection policy and, not for the first time, the evidence on the pitch convincingly countered the explanation offered by the Liverpool manager. Correctly anticipating that Birmingham City would come to Anfield with only damage limitation in mind, Benítez opted to leave the expensively acquired Fernando Torres on the bench, relying instead on the more prosaic talents of Dirk Kuyt and Andriy Voronin to break down the visitors' commendably stubborn blanket defence.
That they failed was as much to do with the frustratingly limited service provided by the home side's midfield and, in particular, the unconvincing Jermaine Pennant, but the immediate impact made by Torres when he was finally introduced after an hour underlined the error of his omission from the starting line-up.
Injecting wit and invention into Liverpool's otherwise ponderous attack, the Spain international looked the difference between a decent team and one that can genuinely aspire to being title contenders - precisely the reason Benítez paid Atletico Madrid more than £20m for his services, in fact.
As well as Liam Ridgewell and Johan Djourou played, Birmingham's stalwart central defenders would surely have had a more troublesome afternoon had they faced Torres for the full 90 minutes.
"I was a bit surprised they didn't start with Torres but they have other great strikers," said Maik Taylor, the visiting keeper. "We were certainly pleased he wasn't playing . . . Take nothing away from the other lads, because they are great players, but it does give you a lift when you see he is not in the side."
Benítez was unrepentant, insisting Voronin was the striker best suited for this particular opposition and citing Steven Gerrard's lack of freshness after a gruelling international programme and a broken toe as a factor in his side's underachievement.
None the less, the failure to win on the day Arsenal reasserted their early-season superiority and the day before Manchester United and Chelsea attempted to take points off each other severely undermined claims that Liverpool might this year be capable of ending their 18-year wait for the championship.
"Today was a difficult day because they were deep, narrow and compact and it's not easy to find spaces. You must be clever and try to play a different way," said Benítez. "I think that between the lines the best striker we have could be Voronin because he has movement, ability and technique.
"It's easy to talk about it after the game but in the first half I thought we were really good. In the second half we had some chances but we didn't have space and clear options.
"I have said 100 times, you know your own players and you know when they are tired. You need to decide these things beforehand. Gerrard I don't think was 100% fresh. In these games you need to keep the tempo really high and if you play too many games in a row you will have problems.
"England knew Steve's situation. Everyone was saying how important he is to England and if you say anything about his fitness they say: 'Why are you saying this? This is the national team.' But I think it's clear these players can't play for 90 minutes every game."
Apart from an opening for Voronin, arising after a rare error by Djourou, and a late mix-up between Gerrard and Peter Crouch, Liverpool barely troubled Taylor, allowing Steve Bruce to reflect on his change in fortune in the 12 months since his position was threatened as City struggled in the Championship.
"I've been under pressure for a while now," he said. "Last year was an unbelievable task to get the club back up. There was a lot of unrest and a lot of people wanted me to go but this is one of the good days again.
"I had an opportunity to manage my hometown club [Newcastle United], which I might regret for the rest of my life, but I stayed out of loyalty. So when things were tough the other way I expected the same."

Read on for my recipe for rosehip jelly
To make rosehip jelly one first requires rosehips. These are tricky little buggers that look deceptively cute with their jolly red colouring adding touches of glory to an otherwise dull autumnal day. They tempt you on the hedgerows and you feel you just have to make something yummy out of them.
And come on, how difficult can they be?
It is at this point that the human mechanism for forgetfulness falls into place. That same mechanism that makes women forget (!) or at least subdue the memory of pain/agony/torture of childbirth and have another offspring. You have forgotten the scratches etc of former years. Hey ho, off you go again.
You head into the bushes reaching here and there to catch the tantalising little beauties. With each reach and gather you seem to become entangled in the thorns. Pulling back is a huge mistake because now you are impaled. You end up with criss crosses all over as if having had a bit of a turn on the self-harming front.
Homewards with the bounty.
Admire those gorgeous red beauties, you have struggled and strived to get the little sods! Onwards to the kitchen…..
Keep it simple
Do not be tempted to remove the seeds or anything remotely crafty like that. Settle instead for chopping off the tufty hard ends. This will be a boring in the extreme and take FAR longer than anticipated. You may well lose the will to live…..
Having done all that throw the damn things in the food processor and pulse them on and off to break them up and open the little monsters. Smirk with glee as you look at them whirring away and imagine their screams of agony that can hardly compare to your own in the bushes earlier.
By the way, try to avoid touching the furry bits inside these joyous little goodies, they cause you to itch like crazy, in fact they were the original components of itching powder!
You are now ready to make rosehip jelly……
If you haven't made any sort of jelly before then check out my Making Great Jelly page.
Karon x
Rosehip Jelly
- 1 kilo/2 1/4lb apples any sort really
- 450 g/1lb rosehips
- Preserving sugar
- Trim the turfts off all the rosehips and then pulse in food processor.Chop the apples in quarters, don't bother to core or peel them, and toss into a large pan. Cover with water and add an extra 300ml/1/2 pint of water on top.
- Bring to boil and cook until they are tender. Now throw in the rosehips breathing a sigh of relief that you won't have to touch the damn things again. Simmer for a further 10 minutes and let it cool a little.
- Set up a jelly bag/cheesecloth in sieve or whatever you have to strain the mix and then pour it in there and let it drip into a bowl overnight.
- Next day resist temptation to squeeze the bag because if you do it will make the jelly cloudy and you've worked way too hard to end up with cloudy jelly.
- Measure the liquid and for every 600ml/1 pint use 400g/14oz of warmed sugar.
- Put all this back into your pan and slowly bring to the boil to dissolve the sugar. Now boil until you reach setting point of 105c/220f or test with the old chilled saucer technique.
- Let it cool a little before pouring into sterilised jars. Seal and sit back admiring your work.

This school teaches the curriculum of Toyama Ryu Batto Jutsu, a style created by the Japanese Army. The Zen Nihon Batto Do Renmei and its US counterpart, the US Batto Do Federation, curriculum is also taught here. Sang Sensei humbly invites anyone to come and watch their training sessions or even come and try a class! He especially invites practitioners of all styles and disciplines to come. "We are not closed-minded here – our way is not the only way and we welcome others so we may share and learn from each other. And most of all, enjoy training together!"
Head Instructor Sang Kim
Hello, my name is Sang Kim. My teachers are Bob Elder sensei (6th dan kyoshi) and Hataya Mitsuo sensei (9th dan Kaicho of the Zen Nihon Batto Do renmei). I was first introduced to sword when I was about 12 through kendo. In high school during a visit to the local martial arts store, I met Bob Elder. He asked me to come and watch class and since then, my interest has been Toyama Ryu. I've been practicing Toyama Ryu and Battodo since 2000.
Although I am quite young for my rank, you can ask anyone who knows me and trained with me how hard I have practiced and still practice today. I was fortunate for the experiences and opportunities that were given to me because of Elder Sensei, Hataya sensei, my sempais, and the honbu dojo.
Many martial arts schools say that you can become a better person by doing their style. The people I have had the opportunities to meet have had a huge impact on who I've become. Toyama Ryu has become a big part of my life and who I am and I can say that I carry that proudly.
