This week, I've been suffering from tonsillitis. The glamourous life of a blogger, eh?
Although I'm almost over it now, it means I haven't done anything particularly note-worthy or had any blog-worthy thoughts. To be honest other than moaning and wallowing, I don't think I've had any proper thoughts. As such, I thought this week, let's keep it simple. A simple image and a simple round up of beauty products I think are pretty amaze. In no particular order…
The first on my list may not be the coolest or instagramable thing ever, but I love it. Suffering from dry skin means I'm always a sucker for a good moisturizer; but when I'm busy, it starts to feel like a bit of a blag. I bought this Vaseline Spray and Go Body Moisturizer in the vain hope it would at least try and live to the 'spray and go' name. FYI – it does. By the time you've done the other leg, the first one is soaked in and it leaves you feeling amazingly soft. Somewhat surprisingly it sprays out a bit like a sun-cream, so there's that as well.
This lovely lipstick is currently in a battle over being my go to lip colour (against a pound land bargain mentioned in this post) but at the moment it is still on top. I love this one because the colour is just so damn cheery and glamourous, and it brightens any looks immeasurably. It could be, because it is quite bright, but I'm also putting it down to the fact it's fairly warm in tone, yet still flattering to someone with a cool complexion. Just trust me on this one, and go try it.
This nailcolour is one of my favourites because if like me you are amused by small things, just watching it change colour in the bottle is pretty fun. Is it green, is it gold, is it blue-tinted? Who knows? What we do know is that it goes on like a dream to say it is metallic. As I'm not wearing it at the mo, I don't have any images (my bad) but google them to see what I mean about the colour-change thing.
OK, on the rare days I can be arsed to actually curl my eyelashes, instead of just waving the wand about whilst half asleep, people have asked if I'm wearing false lashes. Secret info: I'm not, I'm wearing Maybelline's Falsie mascara. It makes my lashes so long and fluttery, I feel like I'd be able to get away with anything just by looking all bright eyed and coy.
Sticking with the eyes, my Collection gel eyeliner has been featured on this blog before, but the colour is intense. It lasts all day and to say the brush is teeny-tiny it gives surprisingly good controlling, equal flicks come to mumma.
If you can recommend any products I haven't mentioned, let me know, because lets face it – we all love an excuse to buy more products.

Arthur Brierley was born in the first quarter of 1897, at Chadderton, Oldham, Lancashire. His parents were John Arthur Brierley, b. 1860 in Oldham, a stripper and grinder in a cotton mill, and Mary Ellen Newton, b. 1862 in Oldham. John Arthur and Mary Ellen were married at Werneth St. Thomas in 1884 and had 7 children, though they lost one in infancy. The 6 surviving children were: Sarah Hannah (b. 1885), John (b. 1887), Minnie (b. 1889), Ernest (b. 1892), Arthur, and finally Alice (b. 1903). John Arthur died in 1906 and in 1911 his widow and 4 of the children were living at 3 Drummer Street, Middleton Junction. John (jnr), Ernest and Arthur were all working as piecers in a cotton spinning mill, Alice was still at school. Sarah and Minnie had married by this time.
Arthur enlisted originally in the Manchester Regiment (16th Bn), with service number 28430. He was later transferred to the Loyals, with service number 27204, serving first in 8th Bn, and finally 2/4th Bn. The 8th Bn had suffered heavy losses throughout 1917 and by October it had already been decided to disband the Battalion and distribute the surviving soldiers to reinforce other battalions. On 4th October the Battalion was at Givenchy and it seems likely that this is the point at which Arthur was transferred to 2/4th Bn, which had recently moved to Boesinghe, just north of Ypres, where they went into the trenches on 24th October, as 57th Division prepared to make its contribution to the Second Battle of Passchendaele.
At 3.40 on the morning of 26th October 1917 the Battalion was formed up in its assembly position and moved off to attack at 5.40 and captured their immediate objectives (Mendling and Rubens farms) fairly quickly and with relatively light casualties. In the process, however, all four company commanders had become casualties. The centre of the attack was then held up by heavy fire from German pill boxes. The pill box was eventually taken and a more dominant position achieved, but further advance was impossible due to heavy German machine-gun fire from all sides. The Battalion captured 18 Germans and destroyed several enemy machine-guns. The ground advanced over was very bad, swampy and covered with shell holes. Arthur was killed during this action. He was just 20 years old. His body was never recovered. His mother had died during the summer of 1916 and his brother Ernest was killed on 13th November 1916 – he was 52523 Pte. Ernest Brierley, 1st Bn The King's (Liverpool Regiment) – so his effects and War Gratuity of £10 were divided among his 4 remaining siblings, each receiving £3 7s 3d.

Ordering your Wedding Invitations: Everything You Need to Know About Wedding Stationery
Most couples might think invitations are the last part of wedding planning – not to mention that this is not real for some of paper addicts like us! – but as to be more realistic, your invitations should be ordered way before than you imagine.
It is because we are talking about paper card stock here, and sometimes they may need to be re-printed, sometimes they may not be in enough quantity – you may have more guests to invite than you thought and sometimes you remember an old friend you want to add to your list – and you may have to order another round of invitations which will be more costly, and besides all these, the earlier is always the best as most of the weddings are held in summer and your guests would love to know about your special day before planning their summer trips! So earlier is better when it comes to wedding stationery.
This is also another reason why we suggest you to send out your Save the Dates as early as you can and let everyone know that you are getting married.
Save the Dates help you a lot as they are a perfect way to tell people to save your date but you don't have to let them know about the venue – you still will need to write the location, either it is in town or out of the town – and you will have more time to clear up your mind about the venue and either you will go with your favourite or more budget friendly one – or maybe your favourite one is the more budget friendly one, in this scenario, you're the luckiest bride ever! – You will give your guests the venue details in your second invitations which will be your exact wedding invitations.
Choosing your wedding invitations might be a challenging task as you have no knowledge of any card stock or how your invitations will look in real with your names on it. At this point, we definitely suggest you to contact your favourite wedding stationer, and ask all your questions.
Is 300 gsm card stock is a good quality for wedding stationery?
Shall I order my invitations earlier?
When shall I order my wedding invitations?
How may additional invitations do I need to order?
What type of wax seals look best with this design?
Shall I include information cards too?
How long does it take to prepare a wedding invitation?
When will I be able to get my invitations?
We know you have many more questions in your mind and the best way to know all about these is to ask your questions to a professional, in this case to the stationer itself.
So get in touch with your favourite wedding stationer – hope this is us! – and ask all your questions. We stationers love talking about paper card stock, we love talking about the details, we love talking about invitation designs. And we are happy to be a part of your wedding day!

Boy do I love pasta, but since I discovered that pasta (due to gluten) can contribute to hypothyroidism, I've had to limit myself either to gluten-free pasta made with brown rice OR experiment with new raw pasta recipes. And raw pasta recipes are definitely not an issue, especially since I love raw foods! 😛
Now, when I came across several raw pasta recipes, I was in disbelief! With some quick research, I learned of this tool which can be used to create raw pasta! Who would've thought! This tool is a spiral slicer which is used to make the raw pasta. It's super easy and takes only minutes!
Now the end result itself was just absolutely delicious! We're talking creamy, flavorful, delightful to the palate pasta! The pasta was so satisfying, so delicious that even my 12 year old and 10 year old were in disbelief at how amazing this was! They couldn't even believe that this was raw, let alone made with zucchini! Who says healthy food can't taste good? I urge you to give this recipe a shot and let me know what you think Your body will absolutely love you for this! 😛
- 2 to 3 zucchinis
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 handful each of fresh basil, cilantro and parsley
- 1/4 cup of truly sun dried tomatoes not in oil, chopped (optional)
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 lemon juiced
- a pinch of sea salt, to taste
- Use a spiral slicer to make noodles out of the zucchini.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and toss to coat.
- Place on some paper towels and allow the water to drain while you prepare the sauce. This can be done for a few hours at room temperature (I did it for 1.5 hours but my house is very warm).
- Combine the avocado, herbs, garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt in a food processor and process until smooth.
- Once the noodles are dry and soft, toss with the sauce.
- Add the sun dried tomatoes and toss once more.
- Topped with some fresh parsley, serve and enjoy!

Fashion month is pretty much upon us, where the best runway looks from the ready-to-wear, couture, pre-fall and resort collections in fashion's top cities will soon be streamed across the world, creating a buzz and inevitable frenzy for new styles and trends in fashion. While this is an undeniably exciting creative phase in the annual fashion calendar, it also raises questions around why we're still not seeing more designers incorporating recycled and sustainable materials into their collections.
That's not to overlook the many sustainable fashion brands that are already doing just that, particularly when it comes to incorporating recycled plastic into their designs (it still blows our minds) like Girlfriend Collective or Ecoalf and allSisters who specifically work with ocean plastic waste. It's an approach that will hopefully become adopted by many more designers in the not too distant future, as let's face it it's a problem that can no longer go on ignored. Of course, quitting using plastic bags and single-use plastic is also key to addressing this. Every effort counts.
Never too far from our thoughts, it was made all the more real when we discovered the work of illustrator Nic Mac, who has reimagined Hokusai's classic, 'The Great Wave.' With Mac's approach a more realistic, up-to-date take on the original, it is aptly entitled, 'The Great Plastic Wave.' Wanting to know more about the origins of the piece and the artist herself, we recently caught up with Nic to discuss what inspires her as an artist and why she thinks the medium of art can be so powerful at conveying such important messages. Plus, she got us excited about a collab that needs to happen one day!
What led you down the path of working in illustration specifically?
Illustration became a natural focus for me after continuously pursuing it at every and any opportunity growing up. Art, and more specifically drawing, was the only thing that made my brain spark and being a massive dreamer meant that the idea that the wildest things imagined could become tangible in some way when drawn, well that was something that was completely addictive to me. It captured me entirely and I became hooked from a young age, with the encouragement from my family, and particularly my grandfathers really giving me the confidence to follow this path.
Though I think there's always an element of accident involved with these things, in the sense that you don't necessarily realise you're choosing a certain path until you've been on it for a while and get a moment to reflect and wonder "when did that happen?" It's more of a subconscious thing, where you have naturally followed that thing you identify with or feel an affinity to.
It's not easy though, and life will always have its hurdles, trying to knock you off your path but you can't really be swayed from the thing you love. Especially once you've tasted it! So, it's hard to place one thing that led me here, as it's more of a compilation of moments, good and bad, as with life in general, that created a weird twisty road and I don't know where it's going, but I've learned to trust the unpredictability of it.
Where does your greatest inspiration come from in terms of design?
Hmmm let's see. It's hard to be specific with these things but I would say 'inspiration' or how I imagine it to be, is one big mass of different elements that have clustered together to create some kind of inspiration transformer creature that chills out at the back of my mind, doing a little dance and a shimmy to get my attention when I'm drawing something.
If I had to be specific in terms of aesthetics, there are elements from a range of different disciplines which I take lessons from. But three of them, I would say, stand out as being the most prominent.
Japanese art, for example, is a big one for the balance and composition, making me aware of the distribution of certain elements – whether it's colour, shade or shape.
Animations and cartoons constantly inspire, particularly old ones like Tom and Jerry and Cow and Chicken, for the way they evoke freedom, movement and excitement. And the way characters are warped and animated to exaggerate expressions and gestures, turning the recognisable into the unrecognisable in a flash of colour and line.

Lastly, street art has grown to be a solid and endless source of inspiration for me. Not just because of its boldness and the use of colours and gradients, but the whole ethos around 'public art' and the invitation for others to join in on the conversation. To me, it's the purest form of political and social art, often making a statement, and it's the honesty of that that I love.
Of course, there's a lot of imagery over time that has shaped, evolved and inspired how and what I draw but nothing will beat the act itself; the possibility of warping, stretching and creating something new. Imagining what is possible or what is impossibly possible, is what gets me out of bed and scribbling. The greatest inspiration is that a drawing can be whatever you want it to be. The other world you create can be anything, and can be devoid of things like gravity or logic and the need to create it becomes overpowering and immediate. It would almost hurt to have to wait.

Do you have to get into the right headspace before you can get creative and if so, what helps?
I aim to be creative everyday, whether it's drawing or writing. When it came to drawing I used to be very particular and almost tentative because I would overthink it and fall into the trap of being too critical of the work before I'd even started. Most likely it derives from being a bit of a perfectionist, I think. And the naive idea that failing or making bad work was a bad thing. I learnt early on that those fears only restrict creativity and also meant that I was never in the right headspace.
Being able to let loose and mute your inner critic by going crazy in sketchbooks and shaking the desire to like every page is the best advice I could give, and probably the most important lesson I've learnt so far. Just going for it and purposely scribbling rough thumbnails in broken biros, shopping lists and ripped pages, maybe spill a drink or two over it and make the point that sketches are sketches and sketchbooks are the place to be free and not judgemental.
When it comes to bigger work, the same applies. Rather than overthink it or over plan an idea, I'll just try it! If it works, it works and if it doesn't, it doesn't. Ultimately, it's about not being too precious about it.
Your work covers some pretty weighted topics but delivered in a colourful, playful manner. What guides you to these themes?
Passion for a topic has the strongest magnetism. I also enjoy the challenge of communicating a message or highlighting an alternate perspective in an effective way. Really, it's about believing in something and wanting to change it, which is a big driving force and War, Technology, Consumerism and the Environment are topics that are usually at the forefront of most of my ideas. I don't want to just make something pretty. I want it to have heart. To instil a feeling or a thought or to highlight and communicate current issues we face today. I think it's important that art, and illustration, is used and shared in this way. The ultimate goal for most artists is to touch people with their art and if I die having been able to move just one person with an illustration, whether it's emotionally or actively, I'd feel like I had done my job.
You create murals, too. Is there an ultimate canvas/space that you've always had your eye on to work with?
I've always been inspired by a lot of the street art I see in Madrid, especially where artists have painted on and over the sliding metal shutters that the closed shops put down. I think that corrugated steel type texture adds a lot of depth and would be really exciting to pair with an illustration. So I'd love to work on something like that, as all of my canvasses have been relatively smooth so far. I reckon though that the ultimate canvass would have to be something big, like the side of a building would be the dream.

We really love your reimagining of Hokusai's 'The Great Wave' with your 'The Great Plastic Wave' as sadly it's such an accurate portrayal of our oceans. Why do you think art has the power to communicate such powerful messages so effectively?
I feel art has the power or can channel the power to communicate effectively because it has the opportunity to sink in in a way that I feel words could fall short. Pieces of art that work effectively when communicating or highlighting tough subjects are ones that are memorable, simple and respectful. Anyone can write or paint what they want to say. But if it's too aggressive, it won't be digested effectively. I like the subtly of the medium. It doesn't have to scream in your face to be understood. In fact, often it's pieces that silently convey a specific theme or message that are the most successful as they can effectively usher the audience to interpret the message themselves. Plus, I think art, above all other mediums, has the benefit of being universal and non-specific, not dependent on a specific language or culture, it doesn't need to divide or target certain people for it to be understood. It's for everyone, and the far reaching aspect of that, I think, is what makes it one of the most powerful tools.
Image courtesy: 'The Great Plastic Wave' by Nic Mac
Of all your past work, is there a project or piece of artwork that stands out that you are most proud of?
Although I always enjoy the pieces of work where I've been able to go crazy with warped broken technology or twisting food into a sloppy illustrated mess, the ones I am most proud of would be when I've created something to help something or someone. I was recently commissioned to create an illustration that would instil or capture hope for someone who was struggling with their mental health diagnosis, and this is to date my favourite. It is the piece entitled, "The One You Carry" and I wanted to highlight the fact that the emotions of negativity and the burdening feeling that derives from the one 'bad thing' (depicted by a caged black bird) does not become all that you are, despite it feeling like that at times. Rather, there is so much more that makes you you (depicted by many white doves). I had the freedom and was entrusted to do what I wanted, from creating the message to how it was eventually depicted. Without a doubt, it has been one of my favourites to make, as well as a piece I am most proud of creating because of it being a message of hope.

Who is at the top of your collaboration/personal projects wish list?
There are so many illustrators, organisations and magazines I would like to work with/for, but I'd say that up there on the list would be Mr Ben Brown whose work has really inspired me in a way that I had never experienced before. When I first saw his Illustrations, that same day I was drawing and drawing non-stop. It was as if he had lit a creative spark within me at a time when I was really struggling. So I'd say that creating something mad and colourful with Ben Brown would for sure be something at the top of my wish list.

Pirates Fans Want Owner to Sell Team
Some Pittsburgh Pirates fans are signing a petition to express their frustration following the team's decision to trade star outfielder Andrew McCutchen to the San Francisco Giants.
As of Wednesday, more than 28,000 fans signed a petition on change.org asking Major League Baseball to force Pirates owner Bob Nutting to sell the team.
Writing "we deserve better," the petition's starters aim to reach 35,000 signatures to protest the direction Nutting and the front office have taken in the offseason. Pittsburgh sent top starting pitcher Gerrit Cole to Houston on Saturday, then sent McCutchen to the Giants, shedding the organization of $20 million in salary in the process.
The Minnesota Twins have hired the recently retired Justin Morneau as a special assistant. The team said Morneau will become the fourth former Twins player from his generation to get the job, joining Michael Cuddyer, Torii Hunter and LaTroy Hawkins.
Ariza, Green suspended
Houston's Trevor Ariza and Gerald Green have been suspended for two games for entering the Los Angeles Clippers' locker room after a game earlier this week to confront another player.
Ariza and Green went into the Clippers' locker room after a game Monday night in Los Angeles, one that was marred late by on-court chippiness. Ariza had been ejected from that game in the final moments, as was the Clippers' Blake Griffin.
The San Antonio Spurs say Kawhi Leonard will be out indefinitely as he continues his recovery from a leg injury. Leonard has played in just nine games after missing the beginning of the season because of right quadriceps tendinopathy. The All-Star forward is averaging 16.2 points this season.
Steelers part with Haley
Todd Haley spent six seasons helping turn the Pittsburgh Steelers offense into one of the most dynamic in the NFL.
All the yards and all the touchdowns weren't enough, however, for the fiery offensive coordinator to keep his job. The Steelers chose not to renew Haley's contract, three days after the AFC North champions were ushered out of the playoffs in a 45-42 divisional round loss to Jacksonville.
The New York Jets are looking for someone to lead their offense -- again. The Jets announced that they fired offensive coordinator John Morton after just one season. ... Referee Gene Steratore will lead the seven-person crew of on-field game officials working the Super Bowl at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. The other members of the officiating crew for the Feb. 4 game are Roy Ellison (umpire), Jerry Bergman (down judge), Byron Boston (line judge), Tom Hill (field judge), Scott Edwards (side judge) and Perry Paganelli (back judge).

Picture this: Two friends get together, and in response to Judith's excited announcement of enrolling in full-time study, Aliana says: "Oh I would have loved to have studied when I was younger. But I couldn't. Not with all the responsibilities I had and with so very little support. You're so lucky. You can do whatever you want, even at your age. Good for you."
Aliana's response smacks of regret and it's shitty sidekick, resentment. Did you hear any genuine "Congratulations"? No. Did you hear any inquiry as to what type of study? or When do you start? No. Not even a "What interests you about studying?". When you pull apart Aliana's responses, they are all about her own regrets of what she didn't do. And the sad thing is that life doesn't have to be like that for her – or for any of us.
Regret is an arse – good for letting go of shit!
But we don't know what we don't know right? How many of us are walking around consciously thinking about our regret, resentment and fear? Probably not many. How many of us are walking around pissed off, shitty and frustrated? Probably too many. That shit can trip us up can't it? I think a lot of us mask our darker side of regret, resentment, and fear with social niceties which in the short term protect us from exploring our feelings and options. But I don't believe that helps us in the long run. Do you? I know so many people who seem to be stuck in their regrets resentment and fear and don't even realise it.
What about you? Have you ever been in a situation like 'Aliana' when someone responded to your good news with their own sad story? I have, and it's pretty awful. Without even realising it, they've just killed a moment of celebration. Or maybe you are responding to people in your life like 'Aliana'? Either way, I'm curious to know what have been your responses? Do you just walk away and avoid that person in future? Because whether you're responding from regret, resentment and fear or reacting to it, no one walks away feeling good, especially if it's not called out.
How to decline the invitation to join anyone else's shit show
I've certainly walked away from situations where someone wanted to give me their regrets,resentments and fears, wishing I hadn't said a damn thing. Those kinds of conversations can leave us feeling triggered by the other person's reaction and sometimes even feeling guilty about our own new choices right? I get it. Like I said, I've been there too – before I learned about how to manage own my feelings, thoughts and behaviours. And to decline the invitation to join anyone else's in their emotional pus party. Sound harsh?
Well, here's the thing, no one else can actually make us feel anything, unless we let them.
And the sooner we anchor into that universal truth, the sooner we are going to start living lives liberated from regret and fear (they're close cousins in my books).
So if you're reading this thinking yeah, but how?
It is as easy and as challenging,
as giving ourselves permission,
to make different choices,
and to act from there.
Imagine for a minute what life would be like if you started doing exactly that. No matter whether your stuck in your own regret, resentment or fear, or tired of someone else's. Think about it. Could you give yourself permission to make different choices and act from there? What would be different for you if you did? Imagine for a minute what life would be like if you came from the context of love, not fear. What would be different then?
I'm telling you, if you're up for it, your whole fricking world would change if you did this with heart and soul. Sure, it's not for the faint hearted, but if you really want to knock back the invite to someone else's shit show, that's a sure fire way of doing it.
I'm a solution focused thinker and doer, so nowadays, if someone had the kind of response like 'Aliana', to something I announced, I'd like to think I would respond along the lines of: "Hey it sounds like studying might be something you're still interested in. Have you researched what's out there and accessible to you? You might be surprised to find that there is a whole world of study options available now. If you like, I could help you work out some starting options?"
Here's the trick though, if they then came up with a whole host of reasons why they couldn't or wouldn't want to do anything different, my response would then be something like: "Oh ok. Feel free to let me know if you change your mind." End of conversation. Decline the invitation to pick up what they just put down.
Either way, informed responses allow us to walk away not carrying any guilt or feeling triggered by anyone else's regrets. And best of all? We keep feeling empowered about our choices.`

Now that Im running advertisements for Time Warner, this site is clearly due for a rate increase. Book your ads before Wednesday to avoid rampant capitalist exploitation. Theres a big audience here, according to an Australian Financial Review piece noticed by fellow blogger John Quiggin:
Blair and Quiggin represent two strands of commentary blogging. Blair is tabloid and provocative, something more akin to a blogging shock jock, while Quiggin, though not dull, tends to stick more strictly to his academic and policy orientations.
Blair's audience is much larger than Quiggin's. Audiences online, like those for traditional media, are attracted in greater numbers to provocative, even outlandish, viewpoints.
If that were true, why arent the likes of outlandish plastic turkey theorists Phillip Adams and Alan Ramsey more popular? Those two broadsheet shock jocks have been alienating readers for years. Speaking of ads: please, if you havent already, click on the Spirit of America ad at left. Good causes dont come much gooder.Posted by Tim Blair at March 22, 2004 02:14 AM
I don't check in with you several times a day because you're outlandish, Tim. I do it because you can write circles around every one of your would-be peers.Posted by: Melissa at March 22, 2004 at 02:31 AM

I get such a kick out of how the media attempts to discredit bloggers.
All this instant feedback, Fisking and access to media from all over the world its leaving journalist shaking in their boots.
Thought control is over, social engineering is going the way of the dinosaur. Socialism is all but through. Even Islam is finally being exposed despite all efforts to obscure the truth.
This is only the beginning.
Rock on, Tim Blair!Posted by: agentazureUSA at March 22, 2004 at 02:53 AM
"Outlandish"? What the hell kind of standard are they using, Indymedia's? I'd characterize him as slightly right of center... but then again I'm using the civilian standard whereas they're apparently using the Australian state-sponsored media standard.Posted by: LabRat at March 22, 2004 at 06:11 AM

Tim Blair, the outlandish shock jock from down under who spews forth provocative ideas like... "Terrorists suck".
Stop judging those terrorists if you want to be an accepted journalist!Posted by: Sortelli at March 22, 2004 at 10:02 AM
I think it started when journalists had to have university degrees to get into the business, and when they stopped calling themselves reporters.
I note the telling reference to Quiggin's tendency "to stick more strictly to his academic and policy orientations." Is that snobbish or what? I've never read his blog, but I'm not inclined to after that recommendation.Posted by: AST at March 22, 2004 at 10:29 AM
I don't often comment on blogs, but this topic is of interest to me.
I think it's fair to say that were it not for Blair, I would never have heard of Quiggin. JQ therefore owes TB, to some extent, for his audience.
Sure - Quiggin probably offers deeper insights, but Blair's blog is always good for a laugh, and to pick up on links to more thoughtful stuff.
That's not meant to be patronising - it's just that there is a place for both styles. The mistake is to assess them against each other as if they were comparable. It's like comparing The Sun to The Times, which would be a bit of a pointless exercise really.
In the final analysis, one suspects that TB's and JQ's respective aims for their blogs are entirely different. It would be interesting if each of them could set out the objectives of their blogs, and thus allow us to examine where the key differences lie.Posted by: Pom at March 22, 2004 at 12:38 PM
One major error in that piece. Quiggin is dull. As dish water.Posted by: slatts at March 22, 2004 at 02:25 PM
By being a semi-frequent commentor at Tim Blair Inc., do I receive a discount on Time-Warner products? Never hurts to ask.Posted by: Wallace at March 22, 2004 at 02:51 PM

Concerning, Spirit of America, is there an Australian Public Benevolent Fund we can donate through so the donations are tax deductible?
Is anyone interested in setting one up?Posted by: wv at March 22, 2004 at 06:38 PM
Tim Blairs Website has long been good, with many a fine moment, but his relentless pursuit of the wild plastic turkey rumor has made it one of the Great Websites. Tim did just the things that you always wish somebody would do but they never do but Tim did & he brought it off with humor. Thanks to Tims inspiration, I myself have mustered more responses to the insipid rumor than I would ever have thought possible & once I even impressed Andrea Harris.Posted by: ForNow at March 22, 2004 at 07:09 PM

Herzog Eyes Comedy Central Return
In the first major executive fallout stemming from NBC's impending acquisition of Vivendi Universal Entertainment, USA Network president Doug Herzog is headed back to Comedy Central to replace retiring president and CEO Larry Divney.
An announcement is expected as early as next week, said sources close to Universal and Comedy Central.
Comedy executives confirmed Divney's retirement, which is expected to come this summer.
A Comedy Central spokesman, however, would not confirm Herzog's move to the MTV Networks-owned service. A spokesman for Universal Television, which owns USA, would not comment on the matter.
Herzog led Comedy Central from 1995 to 1998 and was responsible for launching such shows as South Park and The Daily Show.
After a brief and tenuous stint at the Fox television network, Herzog joined USA in 2001, where he oversaw the launch of such successful shows as Monk, The Dead Zone and most recently, the critically acclaimed miniseries Traffic.
Herzog's future status at USA was brought into question, however, after NBC last fall decided to purchase Vivendi Universal, whose television holdings also include cable networks Sci Fi Channel and Trio.
NBC, which is expected to finalize its $14 billion deal in April or May, last month named NBC Entertainment president Jeff Zucker as president of its Entertainment, News and Cable Group. Industry speculation is that once the deal is completed, Zucker would also oversee Vivendi's cable services, including Sci Fi Channel, USA and Trio.
With Herzog out of the mix, one Universal source said it's unlikely his position will be filled.
"Why put another programming executive between Zucker and [USA executive vice president and general manager Michele] Ganeless?" said the executive. "They're trying to save money, so why bring in another high paid middleman?"
NBC executives didn't return phone calls.
Divney, who took over Comedy after Herzog's departure to Fox, has helped launch several popular series to complement South Park, including Reno! 911, Crank Yankers and Chappelle's Show.
Overall, Divney has spent 13 years at the comedy channel during a 20-year cable career that included executive stops at MTV: Music Television, Cable Health Network (now Lifetime Television), Cable News Network and A&E Network.
"Now that I feel the bulk of the integration process is complete and that Comedy Central is in a great place within MTV Networks, I've decided, after great soul-searching, that I'm not going to renew my contract when it's up at the end of this year," Divney said in a prepared statement.
"My time at Comedy Central has been the most fulfilling experience in my entire professional career, but at this point in my life it is my strong desire to spend more time with my wife at the farm and traveling."

A disorganized desk can make it hard to focus and find the things you need. A clean desk promotes productivity and presents a professional image to your boss, coworkers and clients. If your desk is a mess, causing you stress and making it difficult to get stuff done, it's time to get organized. Make the hours spent at your desk more constructive and comfortable with these handy tips.
Getting a desk organized is easier when you start with a clean, blank slate. Remove everything from the top and inside of your desk. Dust the top and sides and use a handheld vacuum to remove dust bunnies and lunchtime crumbs from your drawers. While the vacuum is out, clean your computer or laptop keyboard; they're notorious for harboring debris. A handheld vacuum is ideal for keyboards because the suction is gentle enough for sensitive electronics and won't pull off keys.
Once the desk is empty, declutter by tossing anything that's broken or never used. This prevents you from cramming your desk with useless items and leaves fewer things to organize.
Begin with your computer monitor if you use a desktop computer. Place the monitor at eye level and at an appropriate angle to ensure maximum comfort. Save desktop space by installing your computer tower below your desk using a CPU stand or caddy. Set up your peripherals, and corral your cords with a cable organizing system to keep things tidy. Designate a space to keep clear for paperwork or a file. Next, decide which items should be kept on top of your desk or inside drawers if you have them.
If your desk has drawers, prioritize which items you need close at hand. Place things you use daily in the most easily accessed drawers. Items you seldom use should go in lower drawers. Be selective with the top drawer to ensure it doesn't become cluttered and make items hard to find. Micro-organize small supplies with storage boxes or drawer organizers to help keep chaos at bay.
Use the biggest desk drawer for large items, such as printer paper, empty file folders or electronics you don't need on your desktop. Keep files in a hanging file frame in a large, lower drawer or opt for a separate filing cabinet. Organize drawers by function, such as designating a single drawer for office supplies or a specific task you do frequently. Then you can simply open the correct drawer to access everything needed for a particular function.
One of the best perks of an L-shape desk is the additional desktop space it provides. However, a desk without drawers presents a challenge when it comes to organization. On the other hand, built-in desk drawers aren't always where you want them.
Integrate one or more detached drawer units for the storage space you need and the added flexibility of positioning drawers where they create the smoothest workflow. Choose two- or three-drawer units short enough to fit beneath your desk. Three-drawer units typically include two regular drawers on top and a file drawer on bottom for maximum organization.
Keep the extra space on top of your desk pile-free with stylish desktop organizers. Prevent clutter by only placing items on your desktop that you use frequently.
According to the Mayo Clinic, sitting too much is bad for your health. It can lead to obesity and increased risks of high blood pressure and heart disease. This has prompted many people to choose a height-adjustable standing desk instead of a traditional sit-down desk. The drawback is less space with limited room on the desktop and no drawers. While a handful of standing desks come with built-in drawers, they often offer very little usable space. Instead, consider a mobile pedestal in matching laminate that provides the desk organization space you desire.
Save desktop space with a separate stand for your printer and a floor lamp instead of a desk lamp. Install a sliding under-desk pencil tray to store a limited amount of office supplies. Maximize desktop space with an uncomplicated organization system like a tiered letter tray. Position them in a back corner away from your immediate workspace to keep files organized without interfering with other tasks.
Glass desks are elegant with their transparent, open space. The downside is everything is exposed, including all those cords connecting your computer peripherals and other office equipment. A tangled mess of cords and cables ruin the sleek, stylish look you're attempting to create. Run the cables down one of the legs and Velcro them in place. Then, route these cables under the desk with a locking channel cable raceway.
No matter how small or large glass desks are, they seldom have drawers. Choose an independent drawer unit that matches the legs or blends well with your desk. Pick one that slides beneath the desk if there's enough room and it doesn't affect the aesthetics. Otherwise, position the unit directly beside or near your desk. Use your drawer unit to house office supplies or any items you don't want to clutter your desktop.
U-shaped desks offer more surface space and storage components than any other desk design. This is great when you require lots of stuff in your work area, but too much space can actually make organization more challenging. Logical organization is even more important with so many open and closed storage options available. Reduce the amount of time you spend hunting for what you need by storing related items together. Store your stamps with your envelopes, pens with notepads, file labels with file folders and so on.
Create different zones with a natural left-to-right workflow approach. Place your office equipment, supplies and files on the left. Set up your computer/work area in the center, and keep the right side open for client interaction or outgoing paperwork. U-shaped desks often have a hutch, credenza or bookshelves on one side, making this side the obvious choice for storage, even if it's not on the left. The opposite side frequently has an executive or a peninsula desk for direct interaction with others or for your computer.
Instead of dwelling on how long you think it will take you to organize your desk, think about all the time you're wasting each day due to disorganization. With a little planning and attention to detail, getting organized requires less time and effort than you realize. Plus, it helps you accomplish more throughout your workday.
Keep your desk organized by straightening up and clearing any clutter accumulated before you leave for the day. It's highly motivating to come to work to a clean desk, and it helps inspire you to stay organized.

Did the article say $64 but here is the thing I hate and that is the keyboard actually does not work. Its cool that they have USB ports on it but I am sure they could have found a way to make that keyboard actually function.
In my younger years I had a C64, modified 1541 disk drive with that cable that I pluged into the serial port of the computer and ran a program called 21 second backup and could copy any piece of software made for the C64. I had tons of pre cracked games too by the group Eaglesoft.
Two other copy (crack) programs I had was Super Snapshot which would plug in to the cartridge port and you would load your copy-protected game and as soon as it ran hit the red button. Now it saved a image of the game and then you simply save it to disk bypassing all copy protection.
There was a group that started to experiment with digitally recording audio on it but just 3 seconds of a song took 664 blocks (yes they called them blocks back then) and we thought we were onto something.
The 1581 mini disk drive was 1 MB back then and we thought we mastered a mile stone back then. The OS was built into the computer and super easy to use. Actually if Commodoe was still in business they would have given Microsoft a run for their money.November 30, 2018 at 2:20 am #107581timinboveyParticipant

Not that long ago Commodore 64 was back in business. A group was manufacturing NEW Commodore 64 machines that would run the original system as well as a modern system. They actually went into production and sold new Commodore 64's. I wish I could remember all the details. This was several years ago and I just couldn't convince myself that the cost to buy one was worth it mainly just for the nostalgia. There's an old article about it here:
The Commodore 64 is back, and it leaves the 1982 version in the dust
and here:
and here
I did follow them for quite some time seriously thinking about buying one just for the fun of it, but never managed to talk myself into it. That group still exists today, I follow them on Facebook but they ceased production. Clearly what seems like a good and fun idea doesn't always translate into the $$ to support it!

Commodore Computers
I have two Commodore 64 computers and four Amiga computers which haven't been used in over 10 years so they might have forgotten how to turn on.
Eventually I'll list it all on eBay, but not until I figure out how to save some files on Amiga disks.
If memory serves I think there are some Commodore files on the Wayback Machine and there are several Amiga websites with what appear to be holdovers who still use Amigas.December 1, 2018 at 9:59 pm #107612FairBolParticipant
