Cancer Research UK is the world's leading cancer charity dedicated to saving lives through research. Our groundbreaking work into the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer has seen survival rates double in the last 40 years. But more than one in three of us will get cancer at some point in our lives. Our research, entirely funded by the public, is critical to ensuring more people beat it.
Our signs and symptoms app is designed to highlight some of the possible symptoms of cancer. When cancer is found at an early stage, treatment is often easier and more likely to be successful. So finding cancer sooner rather than later can make a real difference.

Butler, a senior from Sacramento, Calif., also confirmed that he has received an invitation to play in the Senior Bowl Jan. 30 in Mobile, Ala. Butler was the Huskies' leading tackler with 94 stops.
Polk, Johnson and Trufant were all honored by The Sporting News. Polk, a tailback from Redlands, Calif., became the first freshman in Husky history to rush for over 1,000 yards, finishing the season with 1,113.
Johnson, a wide receiver from Valley Center, Calif., notched 39 receptions for 422 yards and three scores in his true freshman season while Trufant, a cornerback from Tacoma, Wash., posted 47 tackles and two interceptions.

I just had to post this today, partly because it's so awesome, and partly because he asked me to.
C spent some time this morning painstakingly following the instructions to build the "angry man car" and police quad bike. The "angry man" has carried out some type of burglary, there are bank notes, a gold ingot and a crow bar in the boot of the car, but I don't think the police quad bike has a powerful enough engine to keep up with this chunky off-roader. Hmm, I'm digressing. He followed the instructions all by himself.
In the afternoon, after returning from a crazy wild children Spiderman themed, cake and sweetie fuelled melee of a birthday party, he disappeared up to his bedroom, apparently to play with the angry man car, and his new awful plastic toy Spiderman was going to help him. Delightfully, he then came downstairs with this creation:
He'd designed and made this desk workstation all by himself (unless Spidey was whispering in his ear). It's got a phone, computer monitor and cup of coffee, as well as a fire extinguisher under the desk and a swivelling chair! Isn't he awesome?

I'm loving printed trousers at the moment. I'm waiting for one of the plus size retailers to make a paisley print slim leg trouser like the Zara ones (come on people, make my dream come true). These ones I'm wearing below are actually from H'n'M that I purchased when I went to Berlin a year or so ago. I've only worn them a handful of times and today when I sat down at work they RIPPED! Massive fail. Note to self; lay off the Nando's. I suppose it's an excuse to buy yet another pair on payday though.

T-shirt: Topshop
Trousers: H'n'M

I feel like I've lost my mojo lately. Working in the fashion industry and having to get dressed every morning is taking its toll on me. I look at my wardrobe most mornings and feel SO deflated by it so mostly end up wearing the same thing (bloody maxi skirts). I'm going to have a wardrobe switchover this weekend and see if I can find any old gems that can make a comeback. I have 2 wardrobes full of clothes at the moment, surely there has to be SOMETHING in them.

TORONTO UPI--When Bill Caudill got the word that reliever Gary Lavelle had been obtained by the Toronto Blue Jays, he figured it was just about the best news he had heard.
The best news for Caudill, by far, though, would be that the Blue Jays had come up with the figures necessary to get his signature on a long-term contract.
But when contacted on Monday at his home in Bellevue, Wash., Caudill had to make do with talk about the only Blue Jay he has seniority over--Lavelle.
"I think it's a great trade," Caudill said of Saturday's deal which made Lavelle a Blue Jay and sent right-handed pitcher Jim Gott and minor leaguers Jack McKnight and Augie Schmidt to the San Francisco Giants. "It will make my job a whole lot easier. Working together we should be able to nail down a lot of victories.

A new asthma toolkit is being developed to support health professionals and schools in the borough of Richmond to provide better care for children and young people asthma in London.
The online toolkit has been developed by Healthy London Partnership, a partnership between all 32 London Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), including Richmond CCG, and NHS England (London region).
Healthy London Partnership is now seeking feedback on the toolkit from GPs, pharmacists, teachers, school nurses and parents and carers in London. This will be used to develop the toolkit further to ensure it is as useful and practical as possible.
The online toolkit aims to ensure that everyone supporting children and young people with asthma in London can access all the practical resources and information they need to provide the best care.
Based on the London asthma standards for children and young people, the toolkit includes separate sections for commissioners, primary and community care, pharmacists, schools, hospital staff and parents and carers of children and young people with asthma.
Each section includes practical downloadable resources, including example asthma management plans and service specifications, as well as guidance, advice and examples of best practice in children's asthma care from across London.
The pharmacy section will also link to a new e learning hub for pharmacists, developed by Healthy London Partnership and Education for Health and funded by Health Education England. The e learning hub aims to provide learning experiences that support pharmacists to develop their skills in supporting children and young people with asthma.
More than 200,000 children and young people have asthma in London – that's three children in every classroom
The toolkit can be found on the myhealthlondon website
Please send any feedback or examples of best practice you would like to be added to the toolkit to firstname.lastname@example.com

Is Blu-ray Already Dead?
Several tech writers seem to believe that Sony's Blu-ray disc technology and high definition movie recordings are on their way out before they got much of a foothold in the market. Although Sony had predicted a 50% market share by this year, their sales presently account for only about 5% of video discs sold. With up-converting DVD players selling at a much lower price and only a minimal difference in high definition quality, there is little incentive for the consumer to pay big bucks for a Blu-ray player or over $25.00 for a Blu-ray movie disc. The conclusion appears to be that "if Hollywood expects to be selling DVDs in five years, they need to make Blu-ray an affordable standard." There is even some speculation that movies will no longer be recorded on discs, but on flash drives.
Rather than chance making nonsensical blunders or embarrassing myself with misinterpreted statistics, I will refer the reader to some very recent original articles and the discussions that go with them:
Blu-ray is dead – heckuva job, Sony!
Pioneer ups Blu-ray discs to 16 layers, 400GB capacity.
SlySoft cracks Blu-ray BD+ encryption.
Techreport.com forum discussion.
Many people like Blu-ray and it is certainly their prerogative to purchase and use whatever equipment pleases them. I freely admit to a strong bias against Sony since two undisclosed rootkit implants on their DVDs seriously damaged the computers of people who even attempted to make an archival copy or record the DVD to their hard drive. This potential development only serves to reinforce my decision never to buy another Sony product (regardless of how good they are and how much I might want them.)

Two things:
1) An interesting change here at Casa de Nyquil: a 12 year old boy is now turning our cozy little twosome (9-some, if'n you count the rodents and birds and feline) into a trio (Dectet?). So far this has only meant more Wii time, as only one day has passed. Today D and 12yo are off to the beach, meaning I've got the place to myself for the evening. Updates as to problems/benefits of a child to follow.
2) I'd just like to take this time to point out the value inherent in knowing your audience. As a Dreamhost Blog reader, I saw that Crazy Josh Jones was waiting in line to purchase an iPhone he didn't even want, and that he was giving it away in an amusing little contest: make an image showing the real reason behind the mysterious downtimes all Dreamhost customers fondly recognize. I saw an opportunity -- not to win, mind you -- to make Josh laugh, which is something he's caused me to do on any number of occasions. I entered the contest, making reference to something pretty much only he would find humor in, and did it in bad pun form -- which, after being a customer of Dreamhost for several years and constant reader of at least eight "monthly" newsletters, I know he has quite a proclivity for.
This, apparently, is the trick to winning prizes from him, cuz he's now mailing me his unwanted 8gig iPhone.
I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do with this monstrosity, for after spending like an hour at a Cingular store trying to get all the deets from the peeps, I've learned that there is not a comparable plan to the one I currently enjoy thru T-Mobile (0 minutes, unlimited data for $29.99), and the best I can do is 200 minutes unlimited data for $59.99. That's a pretty steep monthly increase, but maybe the super-cool new features the iPhone provide are worth it. Steve would have me believe so. (When you pay $600 for a device, you get to be on first-name basis.)
The two demo models at the store were both borked already, so that's probably not a good sign, but before I did a hard reset on the semi-working one (requiring some Cingular employee to eventually re-enter the WiFi security key. Sorry, future iPhone demo-ers!) I did get to scroll and zoom around things. It is pretty neat.
Safari crashed after loading half of nyquil.org, so I'm not entirely sure how well that works. Most of the apps on the phone actually use Safari to operate (which Blackberry customers will be all-too familiar with) meaning that you can't switch back and forth betwixt a web page and and the cool GPS screen. Or any screen, for that matter. There doesn't appear to be any sort of multi-tasking, as the only button on the unit just takes you back to the menu, where clicking on the application again gives you a new, blank window. Perhaps I am just stupid and couldn't figure out how, though. (But aren't us retards the exact demo Apple's products are targeted to? That smarmy Mac guy on TV is constantly telling John Hodgman how much less-smart (inversely proportional to how much more cool you are) you need to be to use Apple products. Maybe I'm just not cool enough?)
Overall, after the 10 minutes I goofed around betwixt crashes, I was actually pretty danged impressed with the interface. The virtual keyboard is very nice. I've used a lot of portable device keypads, and really, the lack of tactile buttons is far less off-putting than I expected; I was pretty quickly two-thumbing out things like a pro. This will probably be more irritating as I try to compose longer, less "test test 1 2 3 4"-type things... we'll have to see when I actually get mine.
I also learned the crucial bit of info for which I trekked out to a store in the first place: I can activate the phone, try it for 30 days, and then cancel the mandatory two-year contract, enabling me to re-sell it on eBay should I not like it. Yes, even if you are not buying the phone at this time, you are still required to sign a multi-year contract just to activate it.
I'm not sure who is crazier: those loons at Apple or the nutjobs (like me) who can't wait to use their equal-parts shiny/shitty products. Updates to follow.

Soulja Boy Has 2.5 Million Twitter Followers And Only 13,000 Went Out An Bought His Album… SMH!
Dayyummm Soulja Boy… we could have sworn everybody was feeling your "Pretty Boy Swag" joint! Guess not enough to get down with a whole album "The Deandre Way" movement. Exactly, how does something like this happen???
With an artist as big as Soulja Boy, what exactly needs to be done in order for his fans to translate their love for the artist into album sales?
If you take a look at an artist like Nicki Minaj, who sold over 200k for the first week and a little over a 100k for the second week. Then take a trip over to Kanye West, who sold about 500k and just a little bit over 100k himself for the 2nd week… we know the issue is not that fans aren't buying music.
So who do we blame for such a big flop: the artist or the label???
Do you think all of his fans bootlegged his CD or is Soulja Boy's music a fad???
Soulja Boy is not really worrying about album sales right now. He's probably trying to figure out how to get back with Kat Stacks so he can certify his manhood with her dirty draws.

Is it ever all right to use an ethnic slur in your writing? Well, of course it is. I don't like it, though, and I wouldn't use that kind of language even if my character might. There is a thing called freedom of speech just as there is freedom to turn off the TV, close the book, and walk away.
As I was gasping at someone's harsh dialogue on a certain TV show I got to thinking about the evolution of language. We all know the stories behind certain phrases, you know, the ones that you weren't allowed to say when you were a kid (um, maybe I mean when your mom or grandma were kids). For example, I got shushed if I said "crap". I didn't allow my kids to say "screw" and they were definitely in trouble if I heard "that sucks". These phrases have gone from unacceptable to everyday normal.
On the other hand, some words and phrases have reversed directions (and connotations). When I was a kid we chanted, "eeny, meeny, miny, mo, catch a n….r by the toe". Holy smokes, I can't believe I typed that. In fact, I went back and dotted it out because it is just such an objectionable racial slur. (And way back, before I was born, my dad had a black dog by that name.) Once upon a time gay meant happy, queer was something odd and ridiculous was, well, ridiculous. Ever notice how it's fashionable to use the opposite word to praise someone's performance? ("That was so sick!")
Here are a few ethnic slurs that have totally lost their bite: Indian summer. Doesn't sound bad at all, does it? Dutch treat. Think about it. Were the Dutch a little stingy maybe? Mulligan. Are you a golfer; do you take a mulligan when you flub a shot? Guess which ethnicity this "freebie" slams?
One last one: Jock. It's a reference to the Scottish elite. Not so bad. I guess there are some acceptable ethnic slurs.

The United States, along with Japan and Taiwan, are asking the World Trade Organization to establish a dispute settlement panel to review whether the European Union has failed to accord duty-free treatment to some technology products covered by the WTO Information Technology Agreement.
According to the U.S. complaint, the ITA products include flat-panel computer monitors and certain computer printers that can also scan, fax and/or copy. The United States claims the items are covered by the ITA and should be afforded duty-free status on a non-discriminatory basis.
"We regret that formal consultations have not been successful in resolving our concerns over the duties that the EU is imposing on several high-tech products," United States Trade Representative Susan C. Schwab said in an Aug. 17 statement. "The EU committed to bind and eliminate duties on ITA products in its WTO tariff schedules. We believe that these duties are inconsistent with the EU's commitments on these products and that they discourage technological innovation in the IT sector."
The dispute resolution panel is the next step in the formal WTO dispute settlement process. The United States requested WTO consultations with the EU on May 28, and consultations were held in late June and mid-July. When the consultations failed to resolve the dispute, the United States requested that a dispute settlement panel be established to determine whether the EU is acting consistently with its WTO obligations.
Further reading
Japan and Taiwan also requested consultations with the EU on May 28 and June 12, respectively, and have joined the United States in requesting the establishment of a dispute settlement panel.
The EU claims it can now charge duties on these products because they incorporate technologies or features that did not exist when the ITA was concluded. The EU's approach, Schwab said, threatens to "impair continued technological development in the information technology industry and raise prices for millions of businesses and consumers."
According to the United States, global exports of these products were estimated at more than $70 billion in 2007.

Sure, that's a wonderful plot device for new readers and even a decent starting point for new writers. Essentially, it serves as a greeting: "Welcome to 'Superman,' here's what you need to know." Except new writer Scott Lobdell dumps all of the traditional pieces off the table, truly giving his chapter of the world's most recognizable hero new ground to start from.
In casting aside familiar pieces of the Superman mythos, however, Lobdell runs the risk of making the Man of Steel more of an outcast and even more of a cipher in the post-relaunch DC Universe. After all, while it is important to have strong characters, it is just as critical to have recognizable characters and settings. Quite simply, one of Lobdell's choices is the equivalent to taking the Batcave away from Batman. It comes across as simply being sensationalist. Sure, there might be some great drama to be farmed from that idea, but to totally unplug in such a sweeping, irrational fashion is uncomfortable, but not in a good way, more like a fart in church way. Lobdell couches that dramatic development in forced high school drama, but even that forced drama takes the "super" out of Superman and renders him as a super-powered, super-creepy stalker. Early in the book, the writer has the Last Son of Krypton declare, "I'm Superman... everything I do is open to misinterpretation." There is no misinterpreting the abusive way Superman uses his powers to spy on his friends, though.
Joining Lobdell on this title is his artistic collaborator from "Red Hood and the Outlaws," Kenneth Rocafort. If you find the New 52 redesigns of the characters to be overly fussy, then Rocafort's art is simply going to make your head explode. He packs a lot into the panels and makes some bold choices in framing the panels and filling the pages, carefully walking the line between detail and overload. I like Rocafort's sharp, uncommon style, despite the busy-ness of it, but I would like to see it in a more Superman-type of story. This story has a bunch of moping, some stock Superman moments (flying, punching) -- but not enough -- and a space dragon.
The space dragon shows up, but somehow isn't destroying anything, so what does Superman do? He hits it. That gives the new creative team a chance to flex a little and show what they're going to bring to this book, but quite simply, this is not my Superman. There is nothing inspirational or super about a character who abuses his power, mopes about losing a girl he never had and leaps into action without thinking it through. His choices in battle are less than super as well, and all of this just points towards Lobdell's Super-book crossover. If that crossover is anything like what I got in "Superman" #13, I'll be taking a few months off despite some nice artwork, thank you very much.

During my visit at this place with my sisters, we tried the salted caramel and buttered popcorn flavor and ordered cold butterbeer latte. The butterbeer somehow tasted a bit too sweet, but it was worth the try. Looking forward to visiting this place again.

- Bluesman Mem Shannon
Guitar subtlety isn't the first thing that comes to mind when trying to describe most blues artists these days, but that's just the case when describing cab driver-turned-modern blues man, Mem Shannon.
"I don't look at music as a vehicle to play guitar solos over," said Shannon, who's playing Tres Hombres this Saturday. "I just try to tell a good story."
Don't be fooled, Shannon can tell one hell of a story with his axe, but with so many pocketfuls of influences, he has more than one story to tell. Born and raised in the Crescent City, Shannon started his musical career playing the clarinet at age nine. By the time he was fifteen, he had moved onto guitar and began experimenting with a few bands. Growing up in the '60s and '70s, Shannon's influences are heavily funk-driven -- of the likes of the Bar-Kays and Kool & the Gang, peppered with sounds of jazz, gospel and rock 'n' roll.
Although his interests span the musical spectrum, he is deeply rooted in the blues. "I've been influenced by music both inside and outside of New Orleans, but I really came to the blues through the back door," said Shannon. "B.B. King was the reason I started playing guitar in the first place. I always saw this instrument hanging around people's necks, but I never knew what it was supposed to sound like. His guitar spoke to me and showed me what it was supposed to do."
After high school, Shannon played around New Orleans in wedding bands, gospel groups, and Top 40 outfits. Although he didn't make much money, he was perfecting his chops and coming into his own as a songwriter.
In 1981, Shannon took a job as a cabbie and for the next 15 years, to help his family pay the bills, he put his music on the back burner. Around 1990, he began to get more serious about his playing and won a spot to play at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Things took off from there, and in 1995 Shannon emerged on the blues scene with his first album, A Cab Driver's Blues (Hannibal). Although immediately embraced as an up-and-coming blues talent, Shannon got more attention for the uniqueness of the album, which included tidbits of real conversations with passengers from his days as cab driver.
Known as a pioneer in the blues world, Shannon is trying to help the blues evolve. "I don't want to go to a club and play what a blues crowd is expecting to hear," said Shannon. "I'm kind of an oddball. I don't do anything traditional."
Now touring to promote his third album, Spend Some Time With Me (Shanachie, 1999), Shannon is once again creating music that is hard to pigeonhole. With the help of producer Dennis Walker, who has worked extensively with Robert Cray, Shannon is again pushing the boundaries of the blues. True to the nature of his previous work, Shannon delivers a soulful voice full of social commentary over funky backbeats and spicy horns. Seasoned by a lifetime in New Orleans, Shannon dishes out stories of Cajun humor, love lost, slavery, and the strange influence of social pundits with graceful insights and soulful, bluesy arrangements.
Shannon is stirring up what some people might call a tired genre of music. His blues are both refreshing and nostalgic. What the Washington Post calls "the finest social commentator since the days of Willie Dixon and Percy Mayfield," Shannon is keeping the blues in the present tense.
"I'm attempting to tell what's going on today," said Shannon. "Who am I to tell what was going on in the '50s when I wasn't around? Blues is about telling a story, about the trials and tribulations at this point in my life. I just try to have a good mix of personal and social commentary."

I thought that I'd enter my 2012 quilt Floating Wildflowers for the Bloggers' Quilt festival.
I think of it as an exercise in 'traditional, yet modern' - the traditional fabrics in a modern layout. I wanted the coloured blocks to float across the mustard-cream background, the eye hop-scotching from square to square, helter-skelter across the blocks as they seem to wiggle from side to side.
As I posted while laying it all out - this quilt has JAZZ HANDS!
The quilt was made for my friend S, who got married earlier this year. They live out on a farm in western NSW, in a house that was new fifty years ago, eking a living off the land. Her new hubby, J, is good people - a farmer down to his toenails, and an honest larrikin to boot.
I thought the traditional fabrics would look good in their house, with a modern touch, because if S is a country girl at heart, she lived in the city for a good long while, partying and living it up before J and she got together.
The fabric is Wildflower Serenade II and I bought a "charmed jelly cake" of it back when I first discovered the dangers of fabric shopping online. (So much fabric, so little room on the credit card!)
I love the richness of the colours - highly saturated, with a lovely depth. And the mustard-cream is a perfect foil for the darker colours.
While I was making this quilt, I considered the definition of "modern quilting".
My impression is that "traditionally", quilting was done with leftovers. Fragments. Scraps. Odds and ends. Bits and pieces. Leftover fabric from the bolt after clothes had been cut. Remainder fabric from old clothes and linens too worn through in some places but still usable in others.
Hexies and HSTs, pieced stars, triangles - large blocks made out of small pieces:
Traditional quilting was, I imagine, a way to stretch the budget in hard times - to make big things out of the pieces of little things that were still good when other big things wore out at the seams.
Quilting in the current world is no longer the province of the thrifty. Quilting as we understand it nowadays is the hobby or business of a woman who has time, energy, and some form of capital for the initial investment of fabric, thread, and wadding.
Surely, by this definition, all quilting these days - done for fun, for entertainment, for creativity, even when the proceeds are sold - is modern? Perhaps so long as we're not quilting because we have to, we're all modern quilters?
Of course, there's the question of "traditional fabrics" vs. "modern fabrics". Yet quilts that everyone would term 'modern quilts' almost inevitably use traditional pieced blocks; it's only the fabric that has a clearly modern design and colours that would have made the quilters of yesteryears blink.
Does that then mean that a traditional-style fabric can't be laid out in a "modern" manner - the use of colour and space to deceive the eye?
I suppose that, in the end, it doesn't really matter whether this quilt is traditional or modern, so long as the recipient likes it and finds it both beautiful and useful.
At any rate, it has the cat's buttstamp of approval! Maladicta likes it!
There are plenty of links up at the Bloggers' Quilt Festival Linky-Party - go check them out and comment on a few!
And I'd love to hear your opinions on what constitutes modern vs. traditional quilting. Conversation is always welcome!

Adrian Mole: The Prostrate Years is the eighth book in Sue Townsend's brilliantly funny Adrian Mole series.
Sunday 1st July
A momentous day! Smoking in a public place or place of work is forbidden in England. Though if you a lunatic, a prisoner, an MP or a member of the Royal Family you are exempt.
Adrian Mole is thirty-nine and a quarter. He lives in the country in a semi-detached converted pigsty with his wife Daisy and their daughter. His parents George and Pauline live in the adjoining pigsty. But all is not well.
The secondhand bookshop in which Adrian works is threatened with closure. The spark has fizzled out of his marriage. His mother is threatening to write her autobiography (A Girl Called Shit). And Adrian's nightly trips to the lavatory have become alarmingly frequent . . .

'Effortlessly hilarious. Brilliant satire and tragedy' The Times
'Hilarious. Comic gold' Sunday Times
The Lost Diaries of Adrian Mole, 1999-2001 is the seventh book in Sue Townsend's brilliantly funny Adrian Mole series.
Monday January 3, 2000
So how do I greet the New Millennium? In despair. I'm a single parent, I live with my mother . . . I have a bald spot the size of a jaffa cake on the back of my head . . . I can't go on like this, drifting into early middle-age. I need a Life Plan.
The 'same age as Jesus when he died', Adrian Mole has become a martyr: a single-father bringing up two young boys in an uncaring world. With the ever-unattainable Pandora pursuing her ambition to become Labour's first female PM; his over-achieving half-brother Brett sponging off him; and literary success ever-elusive, Adrian tries to make ends meet and find a purpose.
But little does he realise that his own modest life is about to come to the attention of those charged with policing The War Against Terror . . .

Adrian Mole and The Weapons of Mass Destruction is the sixth book in Sue Townsend's brilliantly funny Adrian Mole series.
Wednesday April 2nd
My birthday.
I am thirty-five today. I am officially middle-aged. It is all downhill from now. A pathetic slide towards gum disease, wheelchair ramps and death.
Adrian Mole is middle-aged but still scribbling. Working as a bookseller and living in Leicester's Rat Wharf; finding time to write letters of advice to Tim Henman and Tony Blair; locked in mortal combat with a vicious swan called Gielgud; measuring his expanding bald spot; and trying to win-over the voluptuous Daisy . . . Adrian yearns for a better more meaningful world.
But he's not ready to surrender his pen yet…

Adrian Mole: The Cappuccino Years is the fifth book in Sue Townsend's brilliantly funny Adrian Mole series.
Wednesday August 13th
Here I am again – in my old bedroom. Older, wiser, but with less hair, unfortunately. The atmosphere in this house is very bad. The dog looks permanently exhausted. Every time the phone rings my mother snatches it up as though a kidnapper were on the line.
Adrian Mole is thirty, single and a father. His cooking at a top London restaurant has been equally mocked ('the sausage on my plate could have been a turd' – AA Gill) and celebrated (will he be the nation's first celebrity offal chef?). And the love of his life, Pandora Braithwaite, is the newly elected MP for Ashby-de-la-Zouch – one of 'Blair's Babes'. He is frustrated, disappointed and undersexed.

Adrian Mole: The Wilderness Years is the fourth book in Sue Townsend's brilliantly funny Adrian Mole series.
Thursday January 3rd
I have the most terrible problems with my sex life. It all boils down to the fact that I have no sex life. At least not with another person.
Finally given the heave-ho by Pandora, Adrian Mole finds himself in the unenviable situation of living with the love-of-his-life as she goes about shacking up with other men. Worse, as he slides down the employment ladder, from deskbound civil servant in Oxford to part-time washer-upper in Soho, he finds that critical reception for his epic novel, Lo! The Flat Hills of My Homeland, is not quite as he might have hoped.
But Adrian is about to discover that extraordinary and wonderful things may blossom even in the wilderness

True Confessions of Adrian Mole, Margaret Hilda Roberts and Susan Lilian Townsend is the third book in Sue Townsend's brilliantly funny Adrian Mole series.
Monday June 13th.
I had a good, proper look at myself in the mirror tonight. I've always wanted to look clever, but at the age of twenty years and three months I have to admit that I look like a person who has never even heard of Jung or Updike.
Adrian Mole is an adult. At least that's what it says on his passport. But living at home, clinging to his threadbare cuddly rabbit 'Pinky', working as a paper pusher for the DoE and pining for the love of his life, Pandora, has proved to him that adulthood isn't quite what he expected. Still, without the slings and arrows of modern life what else would an intellectual poet have to write about . . .
Included here are two other less well-known diarists: Sue Townsend and Margaret Hilda Roberts, a rather ambitious grocer's daughter from Grantham.

The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole is the second book in Sue Townsend's brilliantly funny Adrian Mole series.
Sunday July 18th
My father announced at breakfast that he is going to have a vasectomy. I pushed my sausages away untouched.
In this second instalment of teenager Adrian Mole's diaries, the Mole family is in crisis and the country is beating the drum of war. While his parents have reconciled after both embarked on disastrous affairs, Adrian is shocked to learn of his mother's pregnancy.
And even though at the mercy of his rampant hormones and the fickle whims of the divine Pandora, a victim of a broken home and his own tortured (though unrecognised) genius, Adrian continues valiantly to chronicle the pains and pleasures of a misspent adolescence.
Funny, moving and a poke in the eye for adult morality' Sunday Express

The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 ¾ is the first book in Sue Townsend's brilliantly funny Adrian Mole series.
Friday January 2nd
I felt rotten today. It's my mother's fault for singing 'My Way' at two o'clock in the morning at the top of the stairs. Just my luck to have a mother like her. There is a chance my parents could be alcoholics. Next year I could be in a children's home.
Meet Adrian Mole, a hapless teenager providing an unabashed, pimples-and-all glimpse into adolescent life. Writing candidly about his parents' marital troubles, the dog, his life as a tortured poet and 'misunderstood intellectual', Adrian's painfully honest diary is still hilarious and compelling reading thirty years after it first appeared.
Bestselling author Sue Townsend has been Britain's favourite comic writer for over three decades.

You just know the Sugababes were a bit miffed when they "dropped" their new video for Get Sexy this week and then the new Shakira one in all its leotard wearing, raunchy cage dancing glory made its way to the internet. Still its always nice to have two new pop videos in the space of a day!
The Sugababes manage to pack alot into their video but all looks awful cheap. Although I love Heidi's verse and that all the girls have their own unique set up and get to party on down in a white room covered in their own lyrics at the end. Its like the girls are on a journey (perhaps a sexy journey) and at the end of the journey they find each other. Like a girlband light at the end of a sexy tunnel.
The Shakira video is brilliantly executed, all hip thrusts and effortless sexuality. Shame it all comes apart in the last scene with Shakria suddenly trapped in a bad 80s dance movie hoping to She Wolf her way into a Flashdance remake. Still it is directed by Jake Nava (my favourite video director of all time) and the good scenes are brilliant, mixing that Shakira knack for being sexy and eccentric all at once. And if there was a battle of the pop leotard going on between Madonna, Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Shakira I think Shaki would win hands down!

Over the past five years in England, hospital admissions for scarlet fever have risen 136% according to sources.
What the actual story is?
There has been a huge rise in scarlet fever which is around 14,000 cases in the last year. Recent studies for Britain's National Health Service found that other diseases which were widespread in the 19th and early 20th centuries, are making a comeback. TB is one disease often synonymous with poverty, affecting the most vulnerable. And it is not the only such disease worrying London's doctors. Some London neighborhoods have higher rates of tuberculosis than almost anywhere else in the world, as high as 113 per 100,000 people. That's significantly higher than in countries such as Rwanda, Iraq and Guatemala.
In England, malnutrition has also risen by 51% over the past five years.

Instagram has become the hottest social media brand in the world — and it's only been around for six years. Instagram is second only to Facebook with 400 million monthly active users, and 77% of those users are outside the U.S. With more than 40 billion total images shared, users post an average of 80 million pictures per day, making it a hotbed for marketing and advertising on both a global and local scale. But as a marijuana brand, how do you make the most of your social media marketing, especially when you exist in a controversial, niche industry like cannabis? We're here to help with these hot tips.
Find the tangible in your intangible brand.
Depending on what your company offers, sharing photos can get tricky. If you run a high-quality glass business that produces beautiful pieces, you should have no problem producing pictures that showcase and flatter your products. If you run a cannabis consulting firm, however, coming up with concrete images could get a little tricky.
One solution to this is to build your brand by taking pictures in your work environment to let followers peek into the day-to-day of your company's work culture. A picture with a face in it gets 38% more likes than other photos, so let your employees have fun with this; bringing in multiple senses of humor, perspectives, and interests will keep your posts fresh and keep you (and your employees) from getting sick of bearing the sole burden of running the account. If you're bored with your posts, chances are your followers are too.
Another possible solution is to share photos and experiences relevant to your brand, even if they're not unique to it. The cannabis community specifically has a great sense of humor (I wonder why…?) and weed-related memes or images do extremely well in terms of likes and tags. Also creating beautiful images of cannabis or people using it isn't hard — just point, focus, and shoot.
Build a community around a unique hashtag.
Choosing a brand-specific hashtag interesting enough to gain traction is a great way to illicit more user-interaction and in turn raise awareness for your brand. Also, the hashtag can be leveraged over other social media sites like Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest, killing four birds with one stone.
While it's easy to use a major company like Nike as a successful example of how strong a hashtag can be (#runfree, #justdoit, etc.), how can a smaller business utilize this as well? Here, we'll take a page out of Infatuation's book. Infatuation is a restaurant review site founded in 2009 that was essentially unknown until a strange yet popular hashtag started showing up on foodie photos across the 'gram: #EEEEEATS. On Infatuation's bio, they introduced the hashtag, saying it was for "anyone who is serious about food, but doesn't take food too seriously." The hashtag currently has almost 2 million posts.
Much like the foodie industry, cannabis enthusiasts are big fans of hashtags. While #cannabis is the most popular with 4.7 million mentions, it's easy to get lost in the crowd. Try thinking of something that relates to your niche in the industry, be it dabs, vapes, glass, marketing, etc. And remember, everyone appreciates a little humor.
Interact with others to grow your following.
Now this should be a no-brainer, but if you really want to grow your audience, it's going to need some give-and-take. Like much of social media today, so many posts are just shouts into the abyss; everyone wants to talk, but no one wants to listen. So, in order to prove yourself interesting and worthy of following, you have to be interested and follow others as well. Search hashtags relevant to your brand, then like and comment on posts you see. Following other users helps immensely as well in terms of follow-backs, especially if you like their posts and demonstrate interest.
To build a loyal following, you have to put in some effort. Showing that you're vested in and care about your followers, especially in the beginning, will help you earn more support — just like you would with physical customers.

The Little Black Book of StyleBook - 2007

Not quite right for a fashion newbie.
If you're looking to build your wardrobe and would like a little more detail that what Nina Garcia offers here, I would check out The Pocket Stylist by Kendall Farr.
Nina Garcia tries in this book to lay out some simple, general rules that any woman can following in building and maintaining a wardrobe. At time contradictory (be your own muse, look to others for inspiration), Garcia still manages to boil down fashion into manageable tidbits. You need a LBD, a trenchcoat, a good pair of ballet flats and a good pair of pumps are among what every woman needs.
What I did need were the little tidbits from fashion greats. Yes their advice on their area of expertise (a shoe designer talks about shoes) were useful, but do I really need to know who Michael Kors thinks is an elegant woman? (Spoiler: He says the same as most, a woman who is confident is elegant. So remember that when you are in your dirty jeans covered in baby vomit and cat hair. Wear it with confidence!)

Coconut Snowball
This deliciously fun holiday treat is sure to excite all of your dinner guests. Our Coconut Snowballs are a delicious combination of sweet coconut flakes and double vanilla frosting, creating a tasty dessert.
Rate This!
Coconut Snowball
For the cake:
- For Coconut Milk Cake, preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour each 31/2 inch cup of two 6-cup mini ball pans or 48 cake pop molds.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together the egg yolks, 1/2 cup of the sugar, and coconut oil. Add coconut milk; whisk until just combined. In another large bowl sift together cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Sift flour mixture over egg mixture. Using a rubber spatula, fold in flour mixture until smooth.
- In a medium bowl beat egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric mixer on high speed until foamy. Slowly add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar; beat until medium-soft peaks form.
- Add one-third of the egg whites to batter; stir until no streaks of white remain. Gently fold in remaining egg whites and vanilla until completely combined.
- Spoon about 1/3 cup batter into each prepared 3 1/2-inch ball cup, or a rounded tablespoon into each cake pop mold. Bake 3 1/2-inch balls 18 to 20 minutes or cake pops 10 to 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Remove from oven. Cool 5 minutes on wire rack. Remove cakes from pans; cool completely on wire rack.
Double Vanilla Frosting:
- For Double Vanilla Frosting, in a large stainless-steel bowl combine egg white and sugar. Set bowl over a large saucepan of simmering water (bottom of bowl should not touch water). Whisk egg white mixture constantly until sugar melts and an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F , about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove bowl from saucepan. Using an electric mixer, beat mixture on high speed until it doubles in volume, holds a peak, and is cool, about 12 minutes more. Reduce speed to medium-low. Slowly beat in butter, a few pieces at a time. Using a rubber spatula, fold in vanilla bean paste and vanilla.
- To assemble 31/2-inch balls, in a small bowl combine 1 cup of the frosting and raspberry preserves. Place filling in a pasty bag fitted with small round tip. Insert tip of pastry bag into center of the flat sides of cakes; squeeze to fill. Use frosting to attach two cakes, flat sides facing in. Using a small offset spatula, cover each snowball with remaining frosting. Press coconut flakes in an even layer to cover each snowball. Makes 6 large snowballs or 48 cake pop snowballs.
From the Test Kitchen
Coconut oil is solid at room temperature. Before measuring, place in a bowl of warm water until the oil has melted.
If you don't have a mini ball pan or a cake pop mold, you can use twenty 2 1/2-inch muffin cups, or 48 1 3/4-inch mini muffin cups. Grease and flour the cups as above. Spoon 1/4 cup batter into the 2 1/2-inch muffin cups or rounded tablespoons batter into mini muffin cups. Bake 2 1/2 inch muffins for 15 to 18 minutes or mini muffins for 10 to 12 minutes. Pipe filling in each and frost as above.

Oil sludge
Oil sludge or black sludge is a solid or gel in motor oil caused by the oil gelling or solidifying, usually at temperatures lower than 100 degrees Celsius. Oil sludge can be a major contributor to internal combustion engine problems, and can require the engine to be replaced, if the damage is severe.
Sludge is usually caused by a poorly designed or defective crankcase ventilation system, low engine operating temperatures, the presence of water in the oil or crankshaft-induced cavitation, and can accumulate with use. Oil sludge that causes an engine to run poorly or even seize is a rare occurrence and typically happens only when oil changes have been neglected or if the car has been driven extensively with an extremely low oil level.
Ways to minimize sludge production and accumulation includes performing frequent oil changes, performing mechanized engine flushing, or de-sludging, using synthetic oil,[1] and following the manufacturer's engine maintenance routine. Chrysler, Dodge, Audi, Volkswagen, Saab and also some of Toyota, Lexus models are known for oil sludge problem.[2]

"We were 'introduced' to George Calombaris through Junior MasterChef Australia (Season 1, September 12-November 15, 2010, aired on Network Ten). We really enjoyed watching the young amateurs in action and how they were judged by Australia's Top Chefs. George was our favorite judge and was the only judge that bounced through that season!"
One of my colleagues suggested The Press Club for dinner if I have a special occasion to celebrate. It was Ms. L.'s birthday and we were looking for a degustation menu and we went with my colleague's recommendation. We browsed through The Press Club's impressive website, and found that this place offers a degustation menu – Symposium (but no details provided. At the time of writing this post which was close to a month later, I found that the Symposium menu was downloadable and it was in English. We all know that the menu is regularly updated so read on to hear my struggle to review this menu!).
Wow! The owner was the highly acclaimed chef, George Calombaris. We were first 'introduced' to George through the kid's cooking competition – Junior MasterChef Australia (Season 1, September 12-November 15, 2010, aired on Network Ten). We really enjoyed watching the young amateurs in action and how they were judged by Australia's Top Chefs. George was our favorite judge and was the only judge that bounced through that season! We called in to make dinner reservation and was immediately informed that they were fully booked-out for the next four weekends! Fortunately, Ms. L.'s birthday was on a weekday and there wasn't a problem getting a table.
The interior arrangement was very classy and the place boast an open kitchen concept that allowed us to watch our food being prepared as well as for the chefs to show off their skills. The ambiance was perfect for the celebration and was further enhanced by a 'surprise' birthday card from George placed on our table.
The menu was simple and was dated – Ms. L.'s birth date. As mentioned, we had planned to have the degustation menu and found that the menu was in Greek (except for the price). Our waiter explained that most of the items were similar to the à la carte section and he would brief us when he present the courses. I quickly asked for a copy of this menu (so I could blog about it …).
The degustation menu consist of eight courses ($135 per person) . We had nine courses as we took the Wagyu supplement (additional $25). I have done research on George's menu. The first word of each dish is the name of a place such as an island, a village or a capital city in Greece – not really sure what were the objectives. The second words were straight forward and were translated in parentheses below.
SYMPOSIUM SYMBOSIO (Extracted from Press Club's April 20, 2011 Menu)
Vouliagmeni "Glikadia" ("Sweet Bread")
Cephalonia "Karota" ("Carrot Salad")
Mani "Htenia" ("Scallop")
Larissa "Hirino" ("Pork Loin")
Patmos "Psari" ("Fish")
Naoussa "Arni" ("Lamb")
Rethimo "Refreshing" ("English right?!")
Faliro "Sokolata" ("Chocolate")
Degustation $135
Wagyu Supplement $25
We started with a couple of warm breads – multi-seed and fennel, and olive oil. The olives were from Cyprus, Greece, and they were high-flavored olives and tasted really good. We finished the olives and throughout the courses, I finished the olive oil and had asked for refill! On the side was some black volcanic salt to accompany the olive-dipped bread. Nice combination.
The first course (^) was the Vouliagmeni "Glikadia". This dish was not available in the à la carte section. It was presented in a small clear glass bottle that displayed three layers. At the bottom was a layer of pumpkin puree. This was followed by a layer of jelly formed chicken consommé. This appetizer was topped by warm granola. Each layer was delicious and the combination of the layers was fabulous.
The second course (^) was the Cephalonia "Karota". This dish was available in the entree section ($28.9 if you order this entree), probably a bigger version. Its the Toursi of heirloom carrot, baby radish, amygdala and seeds. We have no idea what was amygdala. The presentation was good and the carrots were tasty but overall this course was just 'ok'. We were trying to jog our memory on the brown sprinkles that was pointed out by our waiter but nothing came up. Do leave me a comment if you know the answer!
The third course was the (^) Mani "Htenia". This dish was available in the entree section. Its the Scallop – kounipidi, gingerbread, pomegranate and mint ($31.9 if you order this entree). The degustation version has the gingerbread that came as foam and crumbs. The foam reminded me of my first encounter at Number 8, tasted weird though. I don't remember the pomegranate or mint. The kounipidi is Greek for cauliflower and could be the greens on the top (?). Anyway, the scallop was perfectly seared and it went very well with the crumbs at the bottom.
The fourth course was the (^) Larissa "Hirino". This dish was in the main section. Its the Pork – Helleniko kafé loin, Attiki honey belly, fakes (lentil) and roast apple ($46.9 if you order this main). The pork loin and belly was tasty and as usual, the crackling wasn't enough for me. I'm pretty sure that our degustation version was very similar to the main as our neighbor ordered it.
The fifth course was the (^) Patmos "Psari" . This dish was in the main section. It was the Wild Barramundi – spanakorizo (spinach and rice stew cooked in lemon and olive oil sauce) of venere rice, oxtail, miso melitzana ($45.9 if you order this main). The fish was perfectly cooked and needed to be combined with the wild rice at the bottom. The highlight of this dish was the oxtail roll at the side. It was delicious.
The sixth course was the (^) Naoussa "Arni" or Lamb – best end, bastourma, kohlrabi (cross between cabbage and turnip), borlotti beans and tyrokafteri (a spread or dip, the main ingredients of which are feta cheese, roasted red peppers, and garlic) ($49.9 if you order this main). The best end is the cut just below the neck, before the loin. This is the first time we heard of such cut and it was the best lamb we have ever tasted. The meat was so tender and juicy.
The seventh course was the (^) Wagyu dish. This course was served mainly with wild mushroom puree and courgettes. This was our last savory course and it was excellent. The Wagyu slices was perfectly cooked to medium rare and was very tender. It was more tender than the lamb and the taste was memorable. The combination with the wild mushroom puree and mustard seeds were fantastic. We were glad we supplemented the degustation menu with this course as this was the dish of the day. There was a moment after the lamb, we thought it wasn't a good idea to add the Wagyu as we were pretty full!
The eighth course was the (^) Rethimo "Refreshing" (I couldn't find this in the à la carte section). It was tzatziki or greek yogurt with refreshing lemon zest and peel. At the side was some Pop Rocks to go with and it reminded us of the candy we used to have when we were kids. This course was (literally) refreshing. We were relieved that the size of this course was manageable as the previous courses were on the generous side for a degustation version. We could imagine the size of the à la carte version.
The ninth and final course was the (^) Faliro "Sokolata". Ms. L. had her birthday version – with a candle and happy birthday wished in chocolate! A very nice personal touch from The Press Club. On this busy looking plate, there was a chocolate mousse in the middle, some honey combs, a cake (can't remember what it was) and an olive oil ice-cream. There were sprinkles of chocolate bits and white 'stuff' (not sure what it was – not icing sugar) over the deserts. At first glace, this plate looked and sounded average, except for the olive oil ice-cream. The olive ice-cream which was a first for us was nice. The chocolate mousse had a nice smooth and creamy texture and tasted well.
This was our first experience with modern Greek cuisine and the dining experience at The Press Club was very memorable. There were a couple of personal touches that impressed us like the birthday card and the birthday 'cake'. I was hoping that George be around to personally wish Ms. L. but he wasn't – probably occupied with the making of MasterChef Australia Season 3! The food was overall excellent and the portions were generous. Note that George is one of those chefs that frequently update their menu. You will not find the same menu and food presentations as posted here. Best is to browse through his restaurant's website. (Recently, I found that the degustation menu was downloadable and was in English. Somehow, I couldn't find the same link the next day!). The service was good and prompt. Our waiter was very attentive and experience when recommending and presenting each courses. (I must make it a point to write down the descriptions when reviewing such menu in future. This is due to my known, 'short term' memory and that has caused a very long delay in posting this review). A note on the pricing (which was not commented earlier) – it was on the high-side and unfortunately The Press Club was not listed in the Greater Melbourne 2010|2011 Entertainment Book™. Although it was expensive, the dining experience matched up. We will definitely return to The Press Club in future for the Sunday Lunch – Kerasma (to treat and to share).The Press Club Restaurant 72 Flinders Street, Melbourne, 3000 Victoria, Australia 61-9677-9677 www.thepressclub.com.au
