I recently came across a new blog that promotes the virtues of cooking with kids. I was even more thrilled to find out that the lovely ladies who write there are from the San Francisco Bay Area, like me! Luckily for me, they offered to share this fantastic post about their experience making dumplings with

There are dozens of online invoicing tools out there that can help freelancers and businesses quickly generate invoices for their clients – some of these apps can even track the status of payments made against the invoice. The workflow is nearly paperless – you create an invoice on the computer and the system will send it to your client via email. Now this works just fine in most cases but sometimes you may have customers who haven’t gone digital yet

This week, Microsoft is launching the latest version of its Office suite. These 3 year release cycles seem alien to us given that our apps are typically updated at least once a month. In case you are considering upgrading to Office 2010, you might want to give online alternatives a try.

When the recent cloud of volcanic ash cruelly snatched my vacation away from me, not only was I miffed I wouldn’t be heading across the ocean (and let me tell you, there’s nothing more depressing than unpacking a non-used swimsuit, sandals, and sunscreen out of a suitcase), but I was sad I would be missing dinner with Yotam Ottolenghi at his restaurant, Ottolenghi . I’d written him a fan letter, and after agreeing to a psychiatric evaluation, and a pass through a metal detector, he consented to have dinner with me.

I spent yesterday outside gardening in the garden, and only took one picture showing Geranium x cantabrigiense ‘Biokova’ with bits of Snow-in-summer, Cerastium tomentosum, growing with it. The snow-in-summer is the one with the grayish-green narrow leaves. In the lower center are the tips of the maroon leaves of Hecheura x villosa ‘Mocha’ (more on that later).

Timothy Ferris, in The Science of Liberty: In 1900 there was not a single liberal democracy in the world (since none yet had universal suffrage); by 1950 there were twenty-two. Tyler Cowen at Marginal Revolution has an ongoing series of posts in which he highlights “good sentences.” At first the conceit bugged me a bit, as how good can a single sentence be? It’s not like you have space to develop a sensible argument or anything.

We are now facing the UKs first hung parliament in 36 years and the future still remains very uncertain. No party has enough seats to govern alone effectively and the widely predicted back-room negotiations continue. According to news reports, meetings have taken place between the Liberal Democrats and both Labour and the Conservatives. In what appears to be an obvious attempt to woo the Liberal Democrats, Gordon Brown last night confirmed his intention to stand down as Labour leader and put Alternative Vote (AV) into law, followed by a referendum on Proportional Representation (PR). In response, the Conservatives have made a final offer to the Liberal Democrats of a referendum on the AV system. As yet, it is not clear whether the outcome of those negotiations is likely to be a Lib-Con or Lib-Lab pact. Any Lib-Lab coalition would have the added difficulty of securing the support of other smaller parties as added together the two parties do not have sufficient seats of their own to secure an outright majority. Until the parties agree a deal, there remains a lot of uncertainty for employers. How much of the Equality Act 2010 will be brought into force and if so when? Upon what issues are the parties likely to reach agreement? The table below looks at some key policy areas and explores the similarities and differences in the approaches taken to those issues:

The female workers are employed by Birmingham City Council and between them work in over 40 different jobs, from cleaners to lollipop ladies. These female workers were excluded from bonuses whilst their male counterparts working in refuse collection could earn up to 160% of their basic pay in bonuses.

According to CraftGossip.com, “Many store-bought stick deodorants contain aluminum which has been linked to Alzheimer’s Disease. This is a great alternative that uses a natural moisture absorber, deodorizer, and anti-bacteria/fungal oil to keep any stink from developing in the first place.” And has kindly posted this deordorant recipe from Little House in the Suburbs
