How many of us have heard someone say they have an extremely fast metabolism and they are able to eat whatever they want, whenever they want? Meanwhile, some of you reading this might be saying all you have to do is think about food and you'll gain weight. You won't say it out loud, but in your head you are saying some not so nice things about that person. It seems society plays on this thought that our metabolism is the defining piece of the equation when it comes to how fat or thin we are. So the question arises, can our metabolism actually be controlled?
What exactly is a metabolism?
One researcher put it best when they said, "Your metabolism is kind of like the engine that keeps your body going. It's the drive that allows your body to utilize the food and nutrients you put into it." Think of a coal train for instance. When you add coal, the engine keeps moving, the less coal you add, it starts to slow down. When you stop adding coal to it all together, you eventually come to a complete stop.
Your personal lifestyle and genetics do come into play with how fast or slow your metabolism is. There is no down time for your metabolism as it is running non-stop, including when you are asleep. It's extremely important to do everything possible to keep the train (your metabolism) moving down the track at a fast pace.
Is it possible to improve a jacked up metabolism?
There is no quick-fix when it comes to changing your metabolism. Your genetics set your metabolism base speed and then factor in your lifestyle and you could be royally screwed, somewhere in the middle, or revving at the speed of light. Regardless, it's long-term lifestyle changes that can help you kick start a slow metabolism again.
When looking to speed up your metabolism, the best place to start is by changing your activity level as well as your nutrition. If you find your metabolism is sinking faster than the Titanic, changes need to be made—and quickly. You'll need to make a conscious effort to start an exercise routine consisting of weight training as well as cardio. Strive for at least 30 minutes of exercise at least 5 days a week. Along the same lines, you need to stay on top of the foods you eat. What goes into your mouth can be detrimental to your metabolism. Drinking plenty of water is a simple place to start dissecting your nutrition. You need to make sure you are drinking enough water throughout the day to stay hydrated. Not only does this have several health benefits when it comes to overall health, but it also plays a role in your metabolism. While most people don't like the thought of dieting, you should look at it as a dietary lifestyle change. Remove the processed junk from your diet and replace them with nutrient-dense whole foods. You don't have to quit cold turkey. In fact, you'll probably fail and then binge on tons of food you'll regret later. Start slowly by eliminating and substituting one or two things at a time to minimize the blow. Eventually, you won't miss those items at all.
Researchers have said, "We can manipulate our metabolism to a degree. It's like a campfire: just like we need to give a fire tinder and pieces of wood in order to keep it from slowing down and burning out, we need to fuel our metabolism as well. Eating your leafy vegetables and working out can definitely help your metabolism. Muscle burns more energy than fat, so lifting weights or anything else that builds muscle—along with eating correctly—can play a large role in how our body processes nutrients. People tend to overlook how important breakfast is. We go all night without food, and our body can approach a fasting state, an episode where our body will withhold calories, if we wait too long to eat after waking up."
What factors can come into play that slow down your metabolism?
If you've been exercising for any period of time you will know how much work it takes to get into shape, yet how easy it is to get out of shape. The same principle is true with your metabolism. You could do everything mentioned above to kick your metabolism into high gear yet with very little time or effort at all, you could totally destroy your metabolism again and have it tapping the brakes.
One simple way to make sure your metabolism stays roaring is to ensure you are getting enough sleep at night. Regardless if you have a clean diet and exercise regularly, if you don't get enough rest your metabolism won't run efficiently. Getting a minimum of 8 hours of sleep is ideal not only for health benefits but also for keeping your metabolism functioning properly.
The foods you eat certainly come into play when it comes to your metabolism. Things such as sugars, foods that contain pesticides or antibiotics, refined carbohydrates, and fatty foods just to name a few should be avoided. Try to eat as many organic whole foods as possible and cut out anything that is processed, high in sodium, or was altered in any way other than it being in its natural form.
Another factor that could be detrimental to your metabolism is stress. Cortisol levels can directly inhibit the speed of your metabolism. If you can reduce your stress levels and mitigate cortisol, you can give your metabolism the boost it needs to get going again.
Last, but not least, is age. Your body ages—both internally and externally. Things start to move around and shift on us as the years go by. The same thing happens with your metabolism. It's for this reason that taking the necessary steps now can help you long-term with preserving your metabolism and allowing it to continue to run efficiently and burn calories at a high rate as you age. One researcher mentioned, "Nothing changes overnight. It's a matter of making the small choices that can add up to try and negate the effects that are naturally slowing down your metabolism." By putting in a little effort now, it will save you from having to put in a lot of effort down the road. It's all about choices, but sooner or later, father time catches up with us all and if we haven't laid a solid foundation for our health and fitness, he could leave us with an extremely poor quality of life down the road.

Reviews of Gracie's Garden Room
"We stayed here for a "babymoon" to reconnect before our second child is born. Our first time at a B & B, so didn't know what to expect. We are glad we went outside our box and decided on staying here. Relaxing. Renewing. Everything we were hoping to experience. We'd love to come back and stay longer!"
Laura & Jeremie
"This was our first experience staying at a B & B, and we think you spoiled us! We'll expect the same wonderful hospitality and delicious meals at our next and don't know if it will live up to yours. We loved your beautiful gardens and enjoyed bird watching from the porch. Thank you for your kindness and making us feel so at home."
John & Jeanne
"Thank you for providing this beautiful space and for your welcoming and gracious presence! We enjoyed our stay here immensely. Breakfasts were fantastic too. We six college friends enjoyed the sun room and living room for our time together…we've know each other 50 + years! Appreciated your suggestions for activities and restaurants. Loved the Bennett Museum, Fawn Winery and Big Cat Rescue."
Liz & Bill
"Thank you for one of the best experiences at a B & B we have ever had! Absolutely amazing and the breakfasts were phenomenal! You accommodated our gluten-free issues to perfection. I can't thank you enough for helping make my birthday special with a card, candles and a song. We are grateful for your hospitality, warmth, friendship and blessings."
Sheryl & Jason
"There is no resort (Wilderness, Kalahari, etc) that can compare to Russ and Laurie's hospitality. Laurie's cooking is amazing and not something you want to miss! They are always available if you need them, but very respectful of your space. Bowman's Oak Hill is in such a great location too, setting just outside of town yet still only a few minutes' drive from everything. This is a great place for a nice quiet and/or romantic getaway. I hope Russ and Laurie continue this B & B for many years to come."
Paul & Alison
"We really enjoyed our stay in Gracie's Room, The Breakfast and hospitality were outstanding. The meal at High Rock Cafe was delicious – thank you for the recommendation. We are rested and calm for the rest of our trip back home to Indiana. Bless you!" –Mary & Bill

It might be useful for students to look at a couple of practise tests over the weekend if they feel they would like to. NAPLAN takes a snapshot of student learning from foundation until the beginning of year 3- please keep this in mind when talking about it with your child. Nerves for some students will be normal but we have worked hard to help students feel calm and prepared.
Please be assured that after our preparation session today, students are feeling ready and confident to have a go!

Willard Fiske
Daniel Willard Fiske (November 11, 1831 – September 17, 1904) was an American librarian and scholar, born on November 11, 1831, at Ellisburg, New York.
Fiske studied at Cazenovia Seminary and started his collegiate studies at Hamilton College in 1847. He joined the Psi Upsilon but was suspended for a student prank at the end of his sophomore year. He was educated at Copenhagen and at Uppsala University. Upon his return to the United States, he acted as a General Secretary to the American Geographical Society and edited the Syracuse Daily Journal.
Upon the opening of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, Fiske was named university librarian and professor in 1868. He made a reputation as an authority on the Northern European languages, and Icelandic language and culture in particular.
With loans from Andrew Dickson White, Fiske at age 48 took a leave of absence and sailed to Europe. In the summer of 1879, he visited Iceland for three months, traveling on the island with two other Americans and endearing himself to the residents by organizing donations of books from America. He traveled to Rome in April 1880 to join Jennie McGraw, then age 40. In July 1880,[1] he married Jennie, at the American Legation in Berlin. McGraw was the daughter of timber magnate John McGraw, and upon John McGraw's death in 1877 inherited $2.2 million ($51.8 million today[2]). Their marriage was short, and by September 1881 she had died from tuberculosis. Controversy over her will's bequest to Cornell left Fiske involved in the Great Will Case.[3][4][5] Following its resolution in May 1890, he spent much of his remaining years in Italy, and collected manuscripts.
His interests included chess; he helped organize the first American Chess Congress in 1857 and wrote the tournament book in 1859, and edited The Chess Monthly from 1857 to 1861 with Paul Morphy. His scholarly volume, Chess In Iceland and in Icelandic Literature (Florence, 1905), was used as source material by H. J. R. Murray for A History of Chess. Another manuscript, Chess Tales and Chess Miscellanies (New York, 1912), also published posthumously, is an anthology covering chess life of the period including articles about Morphy, problems by Sam Loyd, and the history of chess including some fables.
Fiske donated thousands of volumes to Cornell including a 1536 edition of the Divine Comedy that he purchased in April 1892 and directed to be sent directly to Cornell. The Fiske Dante Collection grew out of this acquisition and as of 2005 numbered approximately 10,000 volumes.[6]
On September 17, 1904 Fiske died at Frankfurt am Main, Germany. He is buried next to his wife Jennie McGraw Fiske in the elaborate crypt of Sage Chapel at Cornell University. Upon his death, Fiske left a bequest of 32,000 volumes, the Fiske Icelandic Collection, to Cornell [7] along with funds that Fiske had received from Jennie's estate.[8]

Seaside Development Is A Coastal Success Story
Wednesday, February 10th, 2016
on behalf of CALA Homes
A luxury property development has proven to be a hit with house hunters looking for the very best in Scottish coastal living.
CALA Homes' Priory Meadow development in the picture postcard seaside town of North Berwick has sold a staggering 39 out of 53 homes in less than 17 months, securing an outstanding £20m in total sales so far.
Currently in its final phase, and with part exchange now being offered for the first time at this popular development, buyers are being encouraged to move quickly in order to secure one of the remaining spacious three and four bedroom homes.
The development has quickly achieved a firm reputation for providing buyers with serene seaside living, while also providing swift and easy access to the heart Edinburgh, offering a relaxing rural lifestyle with every convenience on its doorstep.
Sarah Stanger, Sales and Marketing Director at CALA Homes (East) has attributed the volume of sales at the development to a combination of its first class location and design, and is encouraging buyers to register their interest as soon as possible as this is a development that moves fast.
She said: "We are delighted with the popularity of Priory Meadow. The success so far is very clearly down to the outstanding quality of design combined with the beautiful location.
"Almost immediately after launch it was clear buyers saw the development as a hotspot for providing the best of both worlds – luxury living in a scenic setting yet with easy access into Edinburgh city centre – and it has continued to be seen as such.
"North Berwick provides unrivalled beaches and a picturesque location, a definitive combination for many people looking to find their dream place to live.
"I would urge anyone interested in the tranquil, coastal lifestyle that this development offers to get in touch as soon as possible to make sure they don't miss out on one of the remaining properties."
In terms of location, the town has plenty to offer outdoor adventurers with its award winning beaches and first class golf courses.
Situated off Glenorchy Road, the development is conveniently located for access to good local schooling and the town's many close-by amenities including award-winning eateries, pubs, shops and leisure facilities.
Priory Meadow also benefits from pedestrian links with CALA's award-winning, sell-out Gilsland Grange development and both enjoy shared open spaces and play areas which are perfect for bringing families together.
The remaining properties in Priory Meadow's final phase are a selection of spacious three bedroom terraced and four bedroom detached family homes now starting from £340,000.
House hunters looking for more information or to book a viewing at the development are being encouraged to arrange a visit, by calling 01620 671 969, as with part exchange now available on this development for the first time, these homes are set to move fast.

As part of my Sweat Pink Ambassadorship I received four packs of MealEnders for free in exchange for a review. I volunteered for this opportunity, and all opinions are my own. There are no affiliate links in this post.
The giveaway is now over, so comments have been closed. The winner has been notified.
Have you ever mindlessly snacked even though you weren't hungry? Or kept eating past the "full" point until you were uncomfortable? I definitely have. That's why, when I was contacted about a review of MealEnders I was intrigued. However, honestly, I was also skeptical. We've all seen ads (and as a blogger I get contacted from random companies) that promise a miracle product to help you lose weight. However, when I looked closer at the ingredients of MealEnders I was presently surprised. There are no drugs, weird herbs, no funny sounding stimulants, and no high fructose corn syrup. There is some sugar, but only 2g per lozenge, and only 15 calories. Sign me up!
The basic way they work is by signaling to your body that it's time to stop eating. The lozenges have 2 layers – the first is a sweet layer that tastes like dessert (for real!). I will talk about each of the flavors in more detail below. The second layer of the lozenge is a cooling layer – sort of mentholy – that "engages the trigeminal nerve to cue the end of eating and clear the palate." Interesting! You can find more about how MealEnders work here. Eating a MealEnder also gives your body and mind something to do during the time after you finish eating – the time it takes for your mind to catch up to the idea that you are in fact, full.
They come in convenient individual wrappers so you can stick some in your car, purse, wherever. I know I'll be keeping a stash in my desk drawer at work.
Another thing I really liked is that in all the media I have read about MealEnders, the company never claims to be a miracle maker. They say a few times that it's important to use MealEnders in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise to create healthy habits. No quick fixes here, just a tool to help you control those random cravings.
I have tried the different types of MealEnders over the past week and wanted to share my thoughts. MealEnders come in four flavors: cinnamon, citrus, mint chocolate and mocha.
I tried cinnamon first, after lunch one day when I was working from home. I find that I tend to mindlessly graze MUCH more when I work from home since my entire pantry is available. I actually expected to like the cinnamon the least but LOVED it. It tasted like apple pie!
I tried the mocha after dinner one night hoping to fulfill the need for sweets I have after dinner. It more than did the job and I didn't feel like I needed to snack that night either.
I really like all the flavors but my favorite is probably the cinnamon, and my least favorite is the mocha.
I honestly don't have anything bad to say about MealEnders – I think with the variety of flavors there's something for everyone, and they are a convenient and helpful tool.
The giveaway is now over, so comments have been closed. The winner has been notified.

If you watched any of Casey Neistat's videos when he explains the amenities of business and/or first class, you'll find most airlines carry a somewhat similar experience. Business class on Korean Air meant laying down on a bed-like seat while watching movies on a giant screen. Most importantly, it includes at least a five-course meal and wine to your choosing. There's also a snack menu for on-demand food if you ever find yourself hungry on the flight.
The night before I left, I went clubbing so I could tire myself out for the trip back home. It meant I stayed awake more than 24+ hours, and even still, I found it difficult to fall fast asleep because I wanted to binge watch every movie onboard. I did end up taking a nap on this 14-hour journey home, ate octopus and ice cream, and cozied up with all amenities.
Thank you to Korean Air for a marvelous (and safe) trip back home.

Tsho Rolpa outburst threatened
The Tsho Rolpa glacial lake in the high Nepalese Himalayas, has been carefully monitored for a number of years. The lake is constrained by a moraine dam which is vulnerable to ground movements (from landslides, glacier falls and seismic activity) and from melting of ice blocks contained within it. The glacial outburst flood that could potentially result from a breach of the moraine dam would reach villages as far as 100km downvalley. Subsequent water shortages would have severe effects on the Ganges as well as Nepal. The glacier which feeds Tsho Rolpa has receded rapidly over the last 10 years - a function of global warming - and the lake grows in length by 100m each year. Controlled lake drainage via an artificial outlet channel ensures that water levels are gradually being reduced, but not at a sufficient rate to reduce pressure on the moraine. Nepal has 17 similar glacial lakes which have no control measures in place. Further information can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/ytkkpm.

Hi Dawn --
I recently wrote an article on GLOFS in Khumbu and Rolwaling for OnEarth magazine (I lived in te Himals for 20 years). I don't have figures at hand, but would question the 100m/year glacial retreat rate (a bit less than this?) and I wonder if a GLOF there would have (after the surge) any long term measurable affect on the flow of the Ganges. Also, the lake was lowered by 3+ meters over a period of a few weeks some years ago, and has remained right at that level -- the level of the weir installed in the terminal moraine. Regards, Brot Coburn

Personal Learning Environment
Scott Wilson is already to the UI prototype stage for a very well thought out social-software application. I love this -- so much of the stuff we talk about is just that, talk, but he's going a step further. It made me think that the ELGG platform already has much of this functionality, and could perhaps be modified with some template/interface work. It's also a bit reminiscent of Marc Canter's interface for the digital lifestyle aggregator.

The waters outside the Persian Gulf resembled a floating parking lot. Scores of empty supertankers, flying the flags of Panama, Japan, Pakistan and many other countries, lay at anchor last week in the Gulf of Oman, as did half a dozen U.S. warships. A menacing cluster of mines had brought the world's busiest oil traffic to a sudden and embarrassing halt. One after another, the explosives bobbed into sight. By week's end at least five had been spotted, and every tiny fishing boat that sailed by was carefully watched in case it tried to plant more of the dangerous devices.

Beethoven's Ninth Symphony premiered in Vienna on this day in 1824. Beethoven was fifty-three, and at the height of his popularity in his adopted city; when word got out that, for financial reasons, he was considering premiering his symphony in either London or Berlin, a petition signed by many of Vienna's most important fans and patrons begged Beethoven to "not allow these your youngest children to be introduced as foreigners in the city of their birth." The superlatives used by one of the first night reviewers seem to echo the city's pride: "Art and Truth celebrate here their most glowing triumph." Another reviewer described for those who had missed it the "high musical feast":
Imagine the highly inspired composer, the musical Shakespeare, to whom all means of his arts readily are available at the slightest wave of his hand, how, in the innermost belief in the holy work of redemption, he sings God's praise and the hope of humanity.
Totally deaf at this point, the composer was on stage only as secondary conductor, and for the first time in twelve years. One musician recalled Beethoven's furious movements, "as if he wanted to play all the instruments himself and sing for the whole chorus." Others remember him several measures behind, and still going strong at the end; he had to be turned around to at least see the audience's cheers, many thinking to add a waved handkerchief or raised hat to the applause of their five standing ovations.
Friedrich Schiller's poem "To Joy" had been immensely popular since its publication in 1786. Inspired by its triumphant Enlightenment message of moral beauty and brotherhood, dozens of composers had set it to music before Beethoven (not so many tried after him). Below, a few of the famous lines:
Be embraced, you millions!
This kiss for the whole world!
Brothers, beyond the star-canopy
Must a loving Father dwell.
Do you bow down, you millions?
Do you sense the Creator, world?
Seek Him beyond the star-canopy!
Beyond the stars must He dwell….

Lymphoma is the cancer of our lymph nodes, the part of human immune system. There are many types of lymphoma, one being Hodgkin, and the rest called non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Non-Hodgkin lymphomas occur when the T cell or B cell, a type of white blood cells, grow immaturely and become abnormal. The cell keeps on dividing incessantly, producing more and more abnormal cells. These atypical cells can spread to almost any part of the body. Most of the time, doctors are unable o determine why a person gets non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Those with a weakened immune system or having certain types of infections are at an increased risk of suffering from the disease.
Lymphoma is diagnosed with physical exam, chest x-ray, blood tests and biopsy. Its treatments include targeted therapy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, biological therapy, or any therapy to remove proteins from the blood. Targeted therapy makes use of substances to attack cancer cells without harming the nearby normal cells. Biologic therapy boosts the body's ability to fight cancer. Ultrasound scans can show the Lymph node tumors. Lymphoma is not a type of cancer routinely screened by the healthy population. The ailment is investigated when a patient show signs and symptoms like :
- Fever
- Soaking night sweats
- Unexplained weight loss
- Continuous weakness and tiredness
- Coughing, troubled breathing or chest pain
- Pain, swelling or a feeling of fullness in the abdomen
- Swollen yet painless lymph nodes in the armpits, groin, or neck.
The doctor will start investigating lymphoma by talking about your medical history, followed by physical examination during which, the doctor will check for the signs of infection near lymph nodes, as most cases of swelling can be explained by it. If and when lymphoma is suspected, the diagnosis can be definitively confirmed with biopsy, which involves laboratory examination of lymph tissue, and act as a guide to prognosis and treatment. The most common biopsy procedures are,
- Excisional – the skin is cut to remove the entire lymph node for analysis
- Incisional - only a part of a large suspected lymph tumor is removed.
The operations, depending on the location to be operated upon, will involve use of local or general anesthetic. Some tests like blood tests may be performed to check the number of white blood cells. Once lymphoma has been confirmed from biopsy, further tests are performed to determine the stage of cancer, to check whether it has spread. The testing process enables the oncology team to understand the type and stage of cancer. They use staging systems for every cancer type. In lymphoma, there are four stages :
- Stage I - when the tumor is localized, i.e. confined to one area
- Stage II – the tumor has spread limited
- Stage III - regional spread to either side of the diaphragm, or to another area or organ
- Stage IV - the tumor has spread beyond the lymphatic system to other body parts.
The stage is further described depending on the particular symptoms present, with A or B added to the number. B denotes that the cancer is more advanced than A.
- Unexplained weight loss of more than 10% over the previous 6 months
- Unexplained fever of at least 100.4°F (38°C)
- Drenching night sweats.
Unknown, unidentified risk factors make the prevention of lymphoma is not unfeasible. Infection of HIV or Epstein-Barr virus is the only known cause of the disease. Several treatment options are used to fight the disease, most of which are common for other cancers.
Statistics cannot always predict the success of an individuals' treatment design, as it also depends on numerous factors, including the stage of the cancer, the but figures show good overall success rates in defeating lymphoma:
- Over two-third of the patients survive for five years
- This five-year rate is even higher for the rarer Hodgkin's lymphoma, at over 85%.
The following treatments are open to patients with:
- Chemotherapy
- Radiotherapy
- Stem cell transplant
- Surgery for particular cases
- Immunological therapy.
Specific chemo drug combinations are usually administered. Chemotherapy is often combined with other options such as radiotherapy and immune therapy. Radiation therapy involves directing a focused high-energy X-ray beam onto the tumors destroying the cells. Immunotherapy makes use of biological drugs to boost the immune system. Certain lymphoma cases can also be treated with stem cell transplantation.
Treatment and recovery of any ailment largely depends on the stage, diagnosis and healthcare offered. So much is less when it comes to fighting cancer. An important point here is receiving treatment under experts. Indian Medguru Consultants is a medical tourism company looking after international patients' needs in finding a reliable cancer care service in India. The team with its ties to best oncology centers in India is the single door destination for a cancer-free life.

I had joined a popular neighborhood website and noticed that people kept complaining about seeing coyotes and spreading fear and myths about them like wildfire. It was really getting on my nerves. It would be like this "Huge coyote spotted on the corner of Moulton and Nellie Gail. Beware!" Then everybody would be like "Oh my gosh and then chime in with "I saw one running through the park" and another person with "One killed my cat who I left outside all night".
Thus, I made a somewhat sarcastic comment with a simple message that started World War III on the website. It went something like this: "Here is an idea, be responsible with your pets, don't leave them unattended or outside at night and let the coyotes exist in peace. It is their planet too and where does everybody expect them to go? Should they all commit a mass suicide like Jonestown so they don't contaminate your well-manicured lawns in your fancy houses?" I guess I didn't feel obligated to sugarcoat my opinion. I live in a very wealthy neighborhood, though not wealthy myself. These people were ignorant, and carelessly starting to spread panic that would end in a mass coyote extermination.
There are barely any coyotes I have seen running around in Laguna Niguel, California. I have lived here for ten years and spotted exactly five in that whole time. What few remain are skinny, starving terrified dogs who are non-aggressive towards humans. They are frantically searching for ways to feed their young and surviving from mostly rabbits. The gigantic houses in this area, generally occupied by all of two or three people have taken away just about any space for them to live in peace.
I was surprised and happy to find that many people being supported my views and thanked me for speaking up. I replied in my post that "They are just like us. They want to live, eat, take care of their babies, have shelter and safety, not feel pain nor fear, have fun and play etc…" I was hoping to bring out more empathy in those who cared.
It worked. I was asked for information on how they could actually help stop these animals from being slaughtered. However, we always have those "Negative Nellie Gailers" who had to oppose any solution that might threaten their Stepford living. Three of them, in particular, started a relentless campaign against me and got me kicked off the website. Insults were hurled at me, I was jealous of their money, my cat was lazy, I was illiterate, I climb up stop signs and post "Save the Coyote Signs" in order to try and cause traffic accidents… People really start reaching when they don't have anything to say!
Sadly their spoilt child behavior ruined the campaign, I spent three months, tirelessly working to try and stop the snaring of these coyotes. I was both motivated by the encouragement of others and emotionally drained by the Three Stooges. I don't think they even cared about the animals, they just couldn't stand the idea of a not so wealthy, non-white female residing in their neighborhood with the nerve to disagree with them.
Their next attack was to broadcast that the coyotes were hunting toddlers and because of this, the local politician launched a plan to target five specific coyotes who were known as the "problem makers" with snares. So wait, how exactly do they know one coyote from another?
I called the politician repeatedly. I tried getting ahold of PETA, the Channel 7 news, the Coyote Defense Leagues etc… A lot of people were also very upset along with me. I felt completely useless and depressed. I was also very angry, and my temper got ahead of me when I felt like I was being backed into a corner like a helpless coyote myself. The snaring went ahead.
After the administrators allowed me back on the site again, they sent me supportive personal messages, just asking me please not to break the rules. This time the trio of terror had had me kicked off for "soapboxing". I was able to check my latest messages, people frantically were asking me who they could call and what they could do. They really cared. But by the time I was allowed back up on the site, it was too late to give out that information to those people. It could have been stopped.
Only speaking up in numbers really makes a difference. I will not lie and say I am still not bitter towards those poor excuses for humanity making up evil lies and the blood that was shed will forever lay in their hands. Plus karma, God or the universe, whatever you believe has a way of making things even! To make things even more rotten is that it would not even just be coyotes caught in these traps, other innocent species would too. A company called Critter Busters were responsible for the killings.
The world is not a fair place. But, I plead with anyone who cares to speak up against animal cruelty. Speak for those who can't speak for themselves. If you don't say anything, even if you think you will make zero difference, then guaranteed you will make zero difference! Many people feel the same way you do, whether it be about animals or whatever cause you are passionate about, this is the only way the world will get changed into being a better place. Doing what we can from our tiny corner with voices that can be heard. Though I feel I failed those coyotes, perhaps I didn't completely fail them all.
I hope those people who I reached out too may just tell other people or take it upon themselves to try and do something. It's a cliche I know, but one we should never forget. Because if I got through to even one person on behalf of those animals, that one person may have the power or connections to the power to stop or reduce the number of animals that are needlessly killed.
Ignorance is bliss and to bully someone for trying to help animals makes you an a**hole!

The airfield operates in an area of outstanding natural beauty, and to maintain the existing good relationship with the community, please observe good airmanship and avoid overflying hamlets and villages in close proximity to the airfield.
Rwy 08 - A normal approach, but please avoid getting low on final approach or using excessive power settings when overflying Compton Village.
Rwy 26 - A normal approach.
Rwy 08 - As soon as practicable, on passing the end of the runway, turn left in order to avoid overflying Hatts Barn Farmhouse.
Rwy 26 - As soon as practicable, on passing the end of the runway, turn right in order to cross the top of the Melbury Hill. Avoid overflying any part of Compton Abbas village.
Turbulence will be encountered on both runways when the wind has a southerly component in excess of 8 -10 knots. Low approach paths combined with excess speed is not recommended when these conditions prevail. Such approaches will place the aircraft in the worst of the turbulent air and will result in a touch down point well along the runway length.

Set in the foothills of the Himalayas, Dharamsala, India, is the seat of Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama and the headquarters for the eight Tibetan exile settlements throughout India. To establish their refugee status in India, each of the 180,000 Tibetans is given a personal audience with the Dalai Lama.
During the past decades, many young Tibetans, starved of their culture and facing repression by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), have trekked across the Himalayas to India. This process was anecdotally recorded in the moving documentary The Cry of the Snow Lion.
There in the Himalayas, the mountaineers witnessed the Chinese People's Liberation Army intercept and murder a 17-year-old Tibetan woman in one of the groups that was fleeing across the snow from Tibet. This tragic process of defection was also illustrated to a delegation of Australians who recently met the Dalai Lama, by the 2,800 children living in boarding schools at Dharmasala's Tibetan Children Village. Generations of Tibetan children, mainly aged six to 10, have been cared for and educated in the village. They are sent by their parents to India, often without the hope of seeing each other again.
Tibetans around the world have been agitated about the recent crackdown at the Kriti Monastery in Tibet, where Chinese authorities have enforced a "patriotic re-education campaign" and imposed an indefinite ban on religious activities. Three hundred monks have also been "removed." On April 21, a large group of Tibetans stood guard at the monastery to prevent the Chinese forces from removing monks — the crowd was dispersed by the police, who used indiscriminate force. Two elderly Tibetans were beaten to death.
At Dharamsala, the Central Tibetan Administration attempts to replicate all the functions of a state. These functions include the Kashang (Tibetans' elected parliament), a Tibetan education system, state archives, medical institutes and the Norblinka Institute of Art, where 400 sponsored artists maintain the traditions of their ancient culture.
As the Dalai Lama withdraws from front-line leadership (he is 75), Tibetans have a plan to ensure their immediate political future.
Regarding the election of a new Tibetan prime minister, the British newspaper the Guardian recently wrote: "Tibetans around the world have voted a Harvard law professor as their political leader, in the first election since the Dalai Lama, who is 75, announced that he would give up the political leadership of the Tibetan community in exile. The new prime minister, the 42-year old Lobsang Sangay, polled 27,051 votes, 55 percent of the total electorate, to beat two other secular candidates."
Sangay was declared the third kalon tripa (prime minister). This is part of the wider Tibetan community's plan to survive outside of Tibet when the Dali Lama dies.
The new kalon tripa has previously hinted he could move beyond the Dalai Lama's "middle way" policy of negotiating with China for autonomy in Tibet.
As a student in New Delhi, he was a leader of the Tibetan Youth Congress, which champions complete Tibetan independence.
The Dalai Lama acknowledged to our delegation that his moderate "third way," which sought Tibetan authority within a Chinese federation, had not been successful, but that the uprising in March 2008 showed the Chinese had to deal with "the issue."

I was fortunate enough to be part of a case which I doubt many surgeon's will get a chance to see or assist in their medical lifetimes.
A 4 month old baby presented to us with a history of failure to thrive, with vomiting after every feed and generalized lethargy. The baby weighed just 4 kgs and was fairly weak. On investigations, it was revealed that he had a large hiatus hernia - a condition where the stomach rolls up into the chest cavity through an abnormal opening in the diaphragm between the abdominal cavity and chest. This was causing him to vomit and reject all milk and water since birth. He also had bilateral inguinal hernia and a hydrocephalus with very low growth hormone levels.
We decided to operate laparoscopically on him. It was the first time I would be involved in a laparoscopy in such a small child. We had the OT in the evening at 6 p.m. As is the case in such delicate situations, we were greeted by the news that the endotracheal tube which the anaesthetist required was not available at the OT stores. He insisted on a No. 3 non cuffed endotracheal tube and the stores only had 3.5 and above. This delayed us for about half hour till they could procure the same.
Once the patient was under, only then did I realize how small he actually was. The distance from his chest to his pelvis was the length of my extended hand! Keeping this in mind, we had to use speciliazed mini lap instruments measuring 3 mm to 5 mm.
The surgery took about 5 hours with findings of a large hiatus hernia with almost the entire stomach resting in the left chest cavity. We pulled out the stomach, divided the sac, delineated the 2 crura of diaphragm and proceeded with the repair of the defect with a fundal wrap (basically wrapping the stomach around the lower end of the oesophagus so it won't slide back up). One of biggest challenges in this case was the constant struggle for space, not only for the instruments, but also for the surgeons to stand without hindering the others movements.
|The stomach going into the chest wall through the opening
The hernias were tackled subsequently and the patient was fortunate enough to be extubated without the need for a ventilator and went back to the room and did not even need the NICU.
The patient is doing well as of now and should be discharged in a day or two and most probably will show dramatic improvement in terms of weight gain and development provided there are no other morbidities.

A Bit of Culture in Dun Laoghaire
Last weekend was another busy one, with most of it spent at the annual Festival of World Cultures in a quaint seaside suburb called Dun Laoighaire on Dublin's South Coast.
It's become rather popular in Dublin, mostly for it wide variety of food stalls selling delicacies from all over the world, as well as free outdoor concerts overlooking the sea.
For this reason, it is of course preferable to have a nice, sunny summer's days to wander the stalls and watch the concert. We weren't so lucky, and from the moment I set off out of my front door to the late afternoon, it really rained. Then there was the mud.
Fortunately it cleared in time for some great concerts and an impromptu Brazilian jam session by the sea....definately one of the highlights.
We caught an amazing West African family band on Saturday night, then headed home for some sleep before returning on Sunday.
The weather cleared up on Sunday and I experienced bright, warm sun for the first time in awhile. 23 degrees and it was even described as 'boiling'- funny how quickly we adjust!
One of the best bands of the weekend played on Sunday night at a local loft pub- Balkan Beat Box. Definately the most original band I have heard in a long time, they were really fantastic.
All in all the weekend was really great. I tried a variety of foods, the strangest being Polish 'pate'... not really pate at all, but pork lard mixed with onions and spread thickly on bread. Hmmm....fat on bread. This is only one of many festivals to come in Dublin. The International Theatre Festival and Fringe Festival are coming up soon. I'm hoping to catch a bit of Oscar Wilde-a compulsory Irish experience.
I will post photos soon.
Hasta la vista

I Love Brussels
This became the phrase of the week after an endlessly hilarious trip to Brussels last weekend with my friend Agnieszka.
Escaping Vesuvius

Why Brussels? I wasn't too sure. It's close enough to Ireland to make a good weekend trip and it rhymes with the mussels Belgium is so famous for.
We arrived in the city late on Friday night, dumped our bags at the hotel and headed straight for the bars. Unbeknownst to us we happened to be staying right near the Red Light District, home to seedy looking cinemas and Eygyptian boy racers. So after an eye opening trip down the main street we headed to the bar quarter on the look out for some of that famous Belgium beer.
I was never a great fan of Belgium beer, and the Krieg (cherry flavoured beer) reinforced this. Basically its bright red, sickeningly sweet and if it was up to me should be banned from existence. After repeatedly refusing the very common Stella Artois, I did try some other (better) varieties, although I still think German beer trumps them all.
Anyway, after a very late night/morning, we headed back to the hotel for some much needed rest before getting on one of those terribly tacky hop-on, hop-off tour buses with recorded commentary. Despite beginning the tour very seriously, this degenerated quickly when we realised that the English version of the tour wasn't working, so we decided to listen to it in Japanese instead. We got off at the first stop, which was the Atomium, a famous Brussels landmark in the shape of an atom which you can go to the top of to get a great view of the city.
While up there I looked down to see the Eiffel Tower, Mt Vesuvius and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. No, we weren't in Space looking down at Europe, but we were looking at.... Mini Europe! By far the highlight of any trip to Brussels, it contains miniature versions of all EU member states.
Mini Europe prompted a very serious Mini Euro Tour photo shoot (see left and http://www.flickr.com/photos/24491659@N03)
during which we morphed into Japanese aliens.
During a walk around the very quaint city centre, we visited the main square and Mannikin Piss, the famous statue of a little boy peeing which, according to legend, was erected in honour of a boy who put out great fires of Brussels while doing his business.
After a compulsory waffle eating mission, we headed in what we thought was the direction of our hotel only to end up at a fun fair. We took a quick ride and headed back to the hotel before going out to the Delirium Bar, known for its selection of over 2000 beers.
On Sunday we finished off the bus tour, catching a glimpse of the EU district, beautiful cathedrals and the palace.
Before leaving we finally had a bite of Brussels Mussels before heading back to the airport.
All in all a fantastic trip!
I love Brussels.

A Very Irish Road Trip
Armed with raincoats and tequila, the Five Foreigners (Me, Gergo (Hungary), Max (Australia), Veronica (Mexico) and Martin (Spain) ) headed off on a 3 day road trip to the West Coast of Ireland.

It all began with a much too early start on Saturday morning, followed by a 5 hour drive to Lisdoonvarna, a small village near The Burren, a famous area of lunar-looking karst landscape along the coast (pictured).
After arriving at our fantastic hostel- Sleepzone The Burren (highly reccommended!) we set off on a bit of sightseeing of the surrounding area, exploring megolithic tombs and ancient ruins, which seem to pop up almost everywhere you look.
The Cliffs of Moher were another highlight, also one of Ireland's most visited destinations. We had a tip from the hostel staff to go in the evening in order to avoid the crowds and the entrance fees, which we did. We got a partial sunset (a miracle for Ireland!) and headed back to the hostel for some much needed beers in the downstairs bar complete with traditional Irish music which went on deep into the night.
Saturday was a bit of a slow start but eventually we made it to Inisheer, the smallest of the Aran Islands, after an incredibly sickening boat trip. Every time I go on a boat I swear it will be my last, and this was no exception.
It took awhile recover from the sea-sickness but eventually we made it up from the sand and walked around the very small island. It really was like being in a different land and everything had a tinge of surreality to it.
The first thing that hit me when I got off the boat was the vast criss crossing of ancient stone walls across the island which didn't seem to serve much of a purpose. The island is littered with old ruins overlooking the water and all the houses are so quaint they could be mistaken for a movie set. The islanders pedomidently speak Irish and horse and cart seems to be the favoured transportation method.
While on top a ruin we noticed a huge, heavily rusted shipwreck looking very foreboding on the pebbles of the far beach. We decided to navigate our way through the wall maze and animals to check it out. When we got there there was almost no one around so we decided to climb up inside the ship and check it out.
It was a very eerie feeling being inside the ship, like walking through a ghost town in the middle of nowhere. After a Wikipedia check when we got home we discovered that it was shipwrecked in the 1960s and the entire crew saved by the Inisheer islanders. Quite an amazing feat.
Inisheer was definately one of the best parts of the trip despite injuring my foot by jumping onto a stone!
We played a few rounds of Texas Hold 'Em poker that night and left early for Galway city the next day. It was a pretty town, but very small.
It was a fantastic trip but all too short, and had left me with many more ideas of places to explore in Ireland.

AfDB: "The Power of Statistics is Recognised for Inclusive Growth," Says Expert Beejaye Kokil
To what extent does the African Development Bank (AfDB) see inclusive growth as an overarching policy objective? What changes, if any, would Management and the Boards want to see in the Bank's strategy, in order to deal with inclusive growth?
Does the Bank have the right statistical instruments among others, to respond to the needs of its regional member countries in dealing with inclusive growth? No Bank expert is indifferent to the on-going debate on "Inclusive growth".
According to the AfDB Statistics Division Manager, Kokil Beejaye, statistics play a vital role in poverty reduction and in various development challenges facing Africa. "Good statistics also improve the transparency and accountability of policy making, both of which are essential for good governance, by enabling electorates to judge the success of government policies and to hold their government to account for those policies. And good statistics are essential to manage the effective delivery of basic services," Kokil explained.
The power of statistics is recognised in the design and implementation stages of country policy frameworks, such as Poverty Reduction Strategies. Its key role is to monitor progress towards development.
This agenda therefore poses serious challenges to country statistical systems to provide timely information on a wide range of indicators at sectoral, national, and sub-national levels.
In this context strong country specific diagnostics are important for prioritizing and shaping inclusive growth policies to fit country needs. With the new trend, the Statistics department (ESTA), through its regional and country programs will continue to play a leading role in countries with weak statistical systems, through its technical assistance and support, to build statistical capacity in regional member countries and fill the knowledge gaps.
Kokil also dwelt on the Bank Group, partnering with other bilateral and multilateral development institutions with regard to providing technical assistance, funding, monitoring and supervision. "The Bank Group has established a strong network of partners with the World Bank, IMF, PARIS21, UNECA, UNDP, DFID-UK, INSEE-France, ACBF, ILO, FAO, UNSD, WHO among others."
Coordination of statistical activities at the international level, he explained, is achieved through the Committee for the Coordination of Statistical Activities (CCSA) which brings together all the key international and regional institutions engaged in statistical development work in the global statistical system to discuss coordination and related issues.
At the regional level, coordination of statistical activities is achieved through the African Statistical Coordination Committee (ASCC) chaired jointly by AfDB and ECA. The ASCC provides a forum to discuss mechanisms for achieving greater synergy among the institutions, and for coordinating statistical programs and activities in the RMCs. "The AfDB, AUC and UNECA have joined their efforts to produce jointly each year the African Statistical Yearbook, that provides key statistics on RMCs; and the African MDG Report (in partnership with UNDP) that tracks progress of the continent towards the MDGs," Kokil also affirmed.
Also speaking about the African Start-up Index (ASI), Kokil said it is a crucial tool with regard to Bank's know-how as to knowledge product monitoring and evaluation, to contribute to entrepreneurship capacity development. "ESTA will play a critical role to facilitate the data collection, management and compilation of the index".
Because resources in developing countries are very limited, good statistics are necessary to help ensure that the available resources put into development are used as effectively as possible. "All these will form part of our contributions to inclusive growth," Kokil concluded.

Brzeżańska, Agnieszka
Brzeżańska, Agnieszka
Visual Arts
Born in 1972, Poland
The Polish artist, Agnieszka Brzeżańska, works mostly with the mediums of painting, photography, film and video. The central strategy of her work lies in a shifting of her interpreted, visible 'realities' to a purely aesthetic level, where 'abstraction' and 'realism' are easily interchangeable. Thus, the imagery of Agnieszka Brzeżańska's work is gently suspended with a kind of 'after-image' effect – inciting a viewer to a newly sensitized perception of the depicted subject.
Agnieszka Brzeżańska's painting, "Oriana Fallaci" (1997-2006), is best understood with this in mind. This painterly stylized portrait – in this case an over-painting of an older painting – shows the head of a woman from behind, with a schematically ornamental haircut. This woman depicted this way in the painting – as the title reveals – represents the late, legendary Italian jounalist, Oriana Fallaci. She was a war-reporter in Vietnam, interviewed controversial politicians like Yassir Arafat or Deng Xiaoping, was deeply involved with the abortion debates of the 1970s, and it was Fallaci who claimed that Pier Paolo Pasolini was killed by a radical right-wing gang and not by a homosexual rent-boy. Brzeżańska honours this controversial woman in this faceless 'after-image'.
In her videoloop "Blue Movie" (2007) the artist filmed some of her friends from the art scene, as they danced around naked in a dark, empty room to the soundtrack of a Blondie song. In the film "Blue Movie" – obviously a reference to the Andy Warhol's film of the same title – you only actually see the silhouettes of the dancing figures. This aesthetic occurrence is not only reminiscent of rendering in Yves Klein's late nudes, but also of the works of Henri Matisse. The key is, however, that these so-called 'shadow figures' do not directly represent the figure, but rather a kind of memory of their forms and – much in the vein of Plato's Cave, the 'essence' of these graceful nude models.

Yes, The Sims now has some RPG elements to help give players direction in the new atmosphere. Instead of following the lives of the Sims you create, you'll be using those Sims to complete quests and achieve a "kingdom ambition." Starting a kingdom requires you to pick some sort of aspiration for it – anything from being the healthiest kingdom to being the kingdom with the most buildings -- and you'll complete quests to achieve that overall goal.
Questing is a big change for the Sims, but it seems like it actually fits in the world. Once you accept a quest, you'll pick which hero Sims you want to control to complete the objectives. At first you'll only have a few Sims to choose from, but as you build your kingdom, you can choose from a wide array of Sims professions such as a blacksmith, wizard, knight and more. The solutions will differ depending on the profession of Sim you choose, so you don't always have to use the straightforward approach. The example I saw started off with an ailing king and charged two Sims with handling situation. Now, you could potentially just kill the king and put him out of his misery, but the demo took a different turn with a physician as the main hero Sim and a priest fulfilling the secondary role.
Before the physician was able to journey to the castle and see the king, she had to fulfill her duties and tend to the sick townsfolk. Failing to fulfill a profession's daily requirements (physicians must heal, blacksmiths must make weapons, etc.) can lead to your Sim being fired from his or her job. That's not the only punishment, though -- if your Sim is fired, they can be thrown in the stocks where other Sims can humiliate them further by throwing tomatoes and eggs.
In the physician's case, she positioned her patient onto a "medical" device that looked like it belonged in a torture chamber. The leeches came next, and the player had to drain just the right amount of blood before administering medicine. The patient wobbled out of the clinic, not looking much better than when she came, but the doctor avoided the stocks for the day. Finally, after a hard day of work, she was able to take some time off and diagnose the king with blood poisoning. Although it moved much faster in the demo, the quest would normally require the physician to complete research on the cure for blood poisoning and then how to obtain the ingredients (either purchasing at a shop or by harvesting in the world), make a potion and cure the king.

I have Glandular Fever.
Wednesday after work I headed to my GP as I was suffering from another episode of Tonsillitis (shocker) and walked out with instructions to rest as much as possible because my blood test results made it clear that I was suffering from more than just Tonsillitis, I had developed Glandular Fever. My first thought was 'FUCK! I am screwed' however after sleeping on the news I decided to not let this get the better of me as I'm not giving up on my Marathon dream.
Taking a step back I stuck to simple Cardio on Thursday with a lunchtime spin session, I took it slow and steady but at least I did something!
Friday was Lloyd's birthday and knowing I had no time to fit my run in after work before we had to head out to dinner I planned to get up at 6am and fit in an early morning run. The word 'Had' was the only problem – I slept through my alarms.
I spent Saturday moving house and unpacking and by 5pm I was absolutely shattered, so spent the evening carb loading and reading My Pace Not Yours by Lisa Jackson ahead of Sundays Run.
Finally it was time for my Long Slow Run and I'd even persuaded Lloyd to come out and join me – Bingo! After deciding during the week that I am going to amend my Marathon Strategy to Run/Walk (run 1 mile walk 1 minute) I was stoked to test it out. Everything started out great as it always does but 2.5 miles in I started flagging and consequently getting annoyed at myself because I knew deep down this shouldn't be happening and by the time I got to my next walk section I was nearly asleep! At this moment instead of just turning home Lloyd and I decided to halve the miles for the day and run 5 instead so my body didn't overload.
Monday was scheduled to be a rest and strength training day but because I was feeling up for it I ran 3 early morning miles on 2 large cups of coffee. I found a 1/2 mile and mile lap route round my blocks which makes each run feel more manageable – once you've conquered the hill- it's like having my own personal mile markers in a race. After work I headed to the gym for a upper body workout because I am determined to improve my back and core muscles before London Marathon.
Tuesday was run day so I continued to run another 4 miles with Lloyd at my side for support. I love having him as my personal pacer!
I finally decided to have a rest on Wednesday and just do a 10k row during my lunch break and a quick leg session at the gym after work. This isn't your typical rest day I know, but with Running being my main focus any day without at least a 5k is a rest for me.
Wednesday I decided it was time to increase my midweek runs to 10k (6 miles). This was hard as I had spent the whole day flagging and not feeling 100% but I managed the miles and I couldn't be happier.
Today I'm sticking to the spin bike doing a easy 10k recovery cycle. Although I enjoyed the rowing machine I find I use more energy and as I am planning to run 10 miles again on Sunday I want to keep everything simple to conserve energy.
Training with Glandular Fever is tough but not impossible. For me I find the lack of motivation the hardest part because I know that I am flagging quicker, running slower and I'll need a nap once I am done, so its easy to make excuses. However, knowing that the end result is me crossing the finish line in London for Cardiomyopathy UK is worth it all.
I refuse to let myself down.

Use Choco Writers to Make a Wimbledon Treat!
It's that time of year again that makes me really feel like summer is here. Wimbledon starts today! Of course as a Brit I will be rooting for Andy Murrey though of course as we are an international company I also wish all the international players loads of luck (as long as they don't beat Andy of course!)
But you can't have Wimbledon without strawberries! So I have a tutorial here that will help you to make a very impressive display of your Wimbledon strawberries (or in fact many other sweets and desserts). Not only will your friends and family be Oooh-ing and Ahhh- ing at the tennis but you may get a few for the fabulous presentation of the strawberries!
You will need:
Cake Decor Choco-writers
Chocolate for dipping
Small party balloon
How to Make:
We are going to use the balloon as a former for the basket so first you need to blow it up to the size you want your basket to be. You can use a small bowl or cup as a guide. Place it into the bowl and draw around it with a marker pen using the rim as a guide. This will be the top of your finished basket.
Melt the choco- writer in a jug of hot water (keeping the top tightly on so no water gets into the chocolate!). Once it is soft all over test the flow. It should pipe easily but not run out too fast. If it is hard to pipe warm for a little longer. If you find it flows out too quickly just leave it to cool for a few moments before you start to pipe.
Start by piping around the balloon following the line you have marked. Then place the balloon back in the bowl for support with the tied end down. Pipe all over the balloon using loops or cornelli piping or the pattern of your choice. It wants to be lacy but it is important that the lines do touch in order to give strength to the finished basket. Make sure that you go right up to your guide line all the way round. If the Choco writer starts to get hard to pipe put the top back on and place it back in the hot water for a few minutes to remelt. Leave the finished basket in the support and place in a cool place to set up.
Meanwhile melt some chocolate – I find the PME Chocolate Melting pot to be perfect for this! It doesn't overheat the chocolate (one of my big failings when using a microwave!) and keeps it at a constant temperature while you work. The three different pots also mean you can change from milk, to white to plain chocolate whenever you like.
Wash and dry some strawberries leaving the stalks in place as they make a perfect dipping and eating handle! Dip into the chocolate of your choice until they are about half covered then place on some greaseproof paper to set.
By now the basket should have set up. Gently ease the balloon away from the sides of the basket to free the chocolate. You can insert a scalpel carefully into the top of the balloon to create a small hole by nipping some of the balloon in your fingers to prevent the balloon from popping and allow the balloon to deflate slowly. It is important not to stab at it as this will cause the balloon to pop which may damage the basket. Ease the deflated balloon away from the basket if it still sticks.
Pipe a circle of chocolate onto a piece of greaseproof paper and fill with chocolate using the choco writer. Before it sets lightly press the base of your basket onto it and hold in place for a few minutes until it holds. Once set the greaseproof can be peeled away and the basket will have a nice flat base and won't tip.
When ready to serve place your dipped strawberries into the basket. Dust with a little icing sugar and add a bowl of whipped cream on the side for dipping your strawberries into while you eat… and there you have a beautiful display of summer fruit and chocolate for your favourite Wimbledon moments!
More Information:
If you would like to see the video demonstration of the Chocolate Basket you can download it for free at the PartyAnimalOnlineShop then you can replay it to your hearts content!
We also have sets of the Chocowriters available with a Wimbledon Special offer of an additional 50p off our already discount price for all 3 choco writers by simply using the code wim2015 at checkout.

A TOTO HET toilet can save up to 24,655 gallons of water per year, but how do you show that visually so that you can truly grasp what a number like that means?
That's the question that SKAGGS faced for their latest photo shoot, and the answer involved "2 months of planning, 1 trip from El Paso to Dallas and back, 1,000 – 5 gallon water bottles, 3 trucks, 2 tractors, 1 buggy and a whole lot of man (and woman) powerâ€.
