A 33-year-old mother from Sydney whose infant nearly died of starvation and dehydration after following a water-only diet has avoided jail time. The unnamed mother, who is a trained midwife, was instead handed a 14-month suspended sentence by a magistrate in Campbelltown Local Court on Wednesday.
Apparently, the mother was simply following the advice of naturopath Marilyn Bodnar for her son's eczema. In February 2015, Bodnar told the mother that a raw food diet was the only solution to her baby's worsening condition. The mother was later advised to fast entirely and consume only water.
The baby boy started to vomit but the naturopath insisted the mother maintain the water-only diet to increase her son's vitality. However, the baby became lethargic and immobile and his eyes were sunken so the mother became anxious and took him to the hospital in May 2015.
Physicians found that the infant's weight dropped to 6.5 kilograms. The boy was only days from starving to death.
Prosecutors sought imprisonment for the mother. However, Magistrate Ian Guy gave her a 14-month suspended sentence. Guy also allowed the mother to see his now two-year-old son unsupervised.
"In this case, there was a failure to provide a level care to the point where the child was days away from dying," says Guy. "She went against her training, and against the telltale signs which would have been blindingly obvious to anyone."
The mother's lawyer Richard Kouchoo maintains that she was innocent. She is a loving mother who was desperate to improve her son's condition but was taken advantage by the naturopath.
Still, DPP prosecutor Alex Brown says that the mother deserves imprisonment. Brown said that the mother ignored her family's suggestion to stop the diet.
Marilyn Bodnar will face trial on reckless grievous bodily harm next week. The mother can no longer work as a midwife.

"You've got to know the rules to break them. That's what I'm here for, to demolish the rules but to keep the tradition."
The words of Lee McQueen are written across the walls of the V&A's hotly anticipated show Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, and I attended the press preview this morning to see the exhibition.
The show takes us through McQueen's inspiring career as a visionary fashion designer and couturier, beginning with an exploration of his time in London and the influence the city had on his work.
London was the epicentre of McQueen's world. He grew up in the East End and left school at the age of 15 to become a tailor's apprentice on Savile Row in Mayfair. It is true what he said about his own work: "Everything I do is based on tailoring."
His training with Gieves and Hawkes and experience at theatrical costumiers Berman's and Nathan's imbued many of his designs with historicism and style.
In 1990 he joined the prestigious MA Fashion course at Central Saint Martins art school in London.
This jacket is from his MA graduation collection – it's silk lined with human hair!
The exhibition shows McQueen's development as a designer and artist.
His architectural use of leather…
And Romantic Nationalism encompassing smooth, rich reds and wool tartan designs…
And then we reach the centre of show, aptly entitled the 'Cabinet of Curiousities'.
A four wall, floor to ceiling ode to McQueen's work.
McQueen once remarked: "I like the accessory for its sadomasochistic aspect."
McQueen used so many materials, commissioning skilled wood carvers, leather workers, glass specialists and embroiderers to help realise his vision.
And then on to my favourite part of the show: his 'Romantic Exoticism' and 'Romantic Naturalism' work.
His sources of design inspiration seem to span the globe and the lure of the exotic can be particularly felt in this room.
It's a dramatic space, eerily lit, and each mannequin revolves slowly, allowing you to examine each sublime design.
He once said: "My work will be about taking elements of traditional embroidery, filigree and craftsmanship from countries all over the world. I will explore their crafts, patterns and materials and interpret them in my own way."
Spin. Spin. Spin – spinnaker – dressmaker.
Savage Beauty or what?
McQueen also said: "I have always loved the mechanics of nature and to a greater or lesser extent my work is always informed by that."
Nature was the most enduring influence on his work and this relationship is most clearly reflected in 'Plato's Atlantis' (Spring/Summer 2010), the last fully realised collection the designer showed before his death in February 2010 and it is considered to be Alexander McQueen's greatest achievement. Inspired by Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species it presented a narrative that centred not on the evolution of humankind, rather, in retrograde: on its devolution. Alexander McQueen created complex, digitally engineered prints inspired by sea creatures.
I had such a fantastic morning! It's an exquisitely curated show… you must go and see this exhibition.
While you're there, take a look round the shop!
Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty is at the Victoria and Albert Museum and opens to the public on 14th March until 2nd August. More information can be found on their website.

We know that Brian McBride will be both starting and wearing the captain's armband for Fulham on Saturday afternoon.
We also know that Colin Clarke will be putting out a starting team with difference makers like Landon Donovan and Carlos Ruiz, among eight guarantees in his starting lineup after being voted into the 2005 MLS All-Star Game.
Other than that, this game is a complete toss-up. Since no other MLS All-Star team has played an English side, there's nothing to look back on for reference. Do you take into consideration that Fulham lost to the Columbus Crew 2-1 on Wednesday night? Or, would you place more emphasis on the fact that there are several tired bodies from the U.S. national team who'll be playing for the MLS All-Stars?
There's no easy answers. And in a week that saw rookies Chris Rolfe and Bobby Boswell score against, a-hem, AC Milan and Chelsea on consecutive evenings, it makes anything seem possible.
The best way to look at Saturday's match is to break down the game not in a futbol manner, but in true football style.
When Fulham has the ball ...
The name that has flowed off the lips of the MLS players has been that of Luis Boa Morte. The quick, left-sided player will likely be the one that gives the MLS All-Stars the most fits. The more that Fulham possesses the ball, the more Boa Morte will roam into a left wing type of position in the same way that DaMarcus Beasley used to with the Chicago Fire. It'll be the responsibility of Los Angeles Galaxy right back Chris Albright to slow him down, which will likely keep the attacking-minded defender more at home than not.
Boa Morte will not be the main personality in Fulham's attack, though. That player will be Claus Jensen. The Danish international will be the one that holding midfielder Sylvain Legwinski looks for whenever he wins a ball at midfield or receives a pass from one of his team's four backs. After tearing his hamstring last season and therefore missing most of the 2004-2005 campaign, the creative midfielder is poised for a strong season. For now, though, he'll be New England Revolution midfielder Shalrie Joseph's problem. The powerful holding midfielder will have to keep from diving in and display the type of discipline and savvy that has helped develop him into one of the league's best in a relatively short period of time.
Jensen will have a bevy of options. He can always play out wide to Boa Morte and do the same thing on the right side when Collins John is in the match since the Dutch international might or might not start as a front-runner. More than likely, Canadian international Tomasz Radzinski will get the nod up top. That being the case, he'll be the underneath guy who Jensen can combine with and find between various seams in the U.S. back four.
As U.S. fans know all too well, McBride is a major presence up top as a target striker. The Columbus Crew's all-time leading scorer wins nearly every ball played to him from out of the back, as well as the ones he encounters in the box off of serves from the flanks and free kick opportunities. Having McBride in the lineup gives Fulham manager Chris Coleman several options as to how his team goes about their game plan.
"We have a lot of strong physical guys, but (Coleman) also brought in technical players," said former Chicago Fire standout Carlos Bocanegra. "We can play a few different ways because we have guys who offer different elements. We have Brian and some other guys who are big, strong and physical, like horses basically."
No one has ever called Kansas City Wizards defender Jimmy Conrad a horse, but he's one of the stronger center backs in MLS and is not afraid to mix it up. Defending against McBride will likely fall on his shoulders more so than Greg Vanney, who gives up three inches to his teammate on the U.S. national team.
Since Coleman is currently looking for the right combination up top, expect to see both John and Heider Helguson on the field at the same time. If that's the case, Helguson will assume McBride's target role, while John will play off of him and likely drift to the right side as much as he can to find space to work with. Columbus Crew defender Frankie Hejduk will spend much of his afternoon watching either Radzinski or John, as well as right-sided midfielder Steed Malbranque, who scored three goals in his side's last three games to end the 2004-2005 season.
When the MLS All-Stars have the ball ...
Just as it is with the U.S. national team, Landon Donovan will be the go-to guy for the MLS stars. In this case, he'll be surrounded by some weapons, mainly the FC Dallas duo of midfielder Ronnie O'Brien and striker Carlos Ruiz. The Los Angeles Galaxy playmaker has had a hectic schedule as of late due to the month he spent with the national team for the CONCACAF Gold Cup as well as the quick turnaround from playing on Wednesday night in Foxborough, Mass., against the Revolution.
However, these are the types of games that Donovan thrives on. And as the poster boy for MLS, he'll be expected to produce. What should help him is the fact that Joseph will be playing behind him in a holding role. The two-time all-star will be relied upon to quickly move the ball in transition and get it into either Donovan, teammate Clint Dempsey on the left or O'Brien on the right.
There is a chance Donovan could fill that playmaking role as an underneath striker, with Ruiz or Taylor Twellman alone up top. That could see FC Dallas midfielder Simo Valakari slot in alongside Joseph deeper in the midfield with the idea of winning the ball and pushing it forward.
Clarke will likely give Dempsey some freedom to make runs into the middle since he'll have Hejduk behind him filling in the space on the left side of the field. That also may allow for Donovan to stay higher as an attacker and clog the middle in order to limit the play of both Jensen and Legwinski.
Where the MLS All-Stars might be able to find some success is down the right flank, particularly is Boa Morte gets caught up the field. O'Brien might find himself in an interesting matchup with Denmark international Niclas Jensen, who just recently signed a two-year deal with the Whites from Borussia Dortmund. If O'Brien is able to serve in the type of quality balls that he's been known to unleash from the right flank in Dallas, it'll allow for Twellman to get some looks in the box. The high-scoring Revolution striker thrives on getting his head on driven balls, usually at the near post, and could end up being a favorite target for O'Brien.
Unfortunately for the MLS All-Stars, they'll have to deal with 6-foot-6 centerback Zat Knight, who gets to most balls in the area. The tallest defender in the Premiership will likely mark up Ruiz as Donovan will be playing a bit more underneath and looking to run on to through balls from the midfield, or keying on Ruiz with Twellman on the field for the same reason. If Bocanegra starts alongside of Knight, then the MLS All-Stars will surely try and use their quickness to break down the back four. That'll especially be the case later in the match once Jeff Cunningham enters the match.
It'll be important for the MLS side to be quick when counterattacking. Even though players like Donovan, Dempsey and Conrad are coming off of an intense schedule, the Fulham side has been going through two-a-days recently and just played a full match on Wednesday night. When countering, it's imperative that either Albright or Hejduk joins into the attack to give the MLS All-Stars numbers going forward. What helps ensure this is the fact that all four players in the back have played together in the past for the national team.
"We know each other well and know how to communicate together on the field," said Albright. "We should be cohesive in the back starting with Reis in the goal. And in a game like this, that's most important."

Schalke forward Raul has revealed he could have been lining up for Manchester United in next week's Champions League semi final against his current club.
Raul was offered the chance to join United last year when it became clear that his long spell at Real Madrid was over.
The 33-year-old's representatives were in contact with United as he considered his future, but the Spanish forward opted to move to Schalke instead and has played a key role in their surprise run to the last four of Europe's elite club competition.
Instead of wearing United's famous red shirt, Raul will run out in Schalke blue for the first leg of the semi final in Germany on Tuesday.
"There were a couple of possibilities and United was one but the only person who knows just how close, is (Sir) Alex Ferguson," Raul told the Daily Mail.
"I never spoke to him personally but there were contacts with United.
"Before deciding to come to Schalke I thought about England, where I had a couple of offers.
"I love the footballing culture there, the respect for the game, the atmosphere, the intensity.
"I've been at Old Trafford, Arsenal, at Liverpool watching Fernando Morientes and it's special.
"I fancied the idea. I wanted to try something different. But I've been able to experience that here."
Raul is the leading goalscorer in Champions League history and one of the icons of his generation, but he is a fan at heart and admits he would love to swap shirts with United winger Ryan Giggs after the first leg.
"He's a great professional who looks after himself. Giggs and (Paul) Scholes are players for whom I have an enormous admiration," Raul said.
"I would love to swap shirts with Ryan Giggs after the game. It would be a great honour."
Schalke will go into the first leg at the Veltins-Arena as underdogs but if they pull off a shock win, Raul could face Real in the final at Wembley if Jose Mourinho's team can get past Barcelona.
Raul said: "We dream of beating United. Let's see if we're the better team. Logic says United will be - but we'll try.
The prospect of facing Real in such a big match is too much for Raul to contemplate now and he added: "I don't know. right now, I can't find the words. If it happens, it would be more than special.
"We didn't expect to get here so we're satisfied. Now we want a little more: we don't know when the chance will present itself again.
"A final would be even more incredible. I hope it's Madrid.....well, I don't know actually. It would be strange. Very strange.
"If you can guarantee that we'll win the final, maybe it would even be better to play Barcelona. If not, Madrid. Let's see what destiny has in store."

Forbes Magazine-Des Moines Second Best City for Jobs
This week, Forbes magazine released its list of top cities in which an individual should look for a job. Des Moines was second on that list, only behind Washington, D.C. Forbes cited high household incomes and a low unemployment rate as the primary reasons for the ranking. The magazine also stated that projections from Moody's Analytics estimate that employment in the Des Moines area will see an increase of 8.6% over the next four years, which would translate into 36,000 jobs.
The story referenced a number of Iowa employers including John Deere, Pioneer, Kemin Industries in the ag/biotech area. These businesses are providing thousands of Iowans jobs. Forbes also lauded Des Moines' ability to retain big downtown businesses during the downturn such as Principal, Wells Fargo, and Meredith as other big cities across the nation lost downtown jobs and haven't been able to recover them.
Governor Branstad set an ambitious goal of creating 200,000 new jobs and increasing the wealth of Iowa families by 25 percent. If the projections that Forbes makes are accurate, Des Moines could play a very large role in helping to achieve those goals.

These brunette tresses are pulled up, teased and pinned to the crown to create this fancy updo which is best suited to complement a round face. The long bangs are swept to the side to soften the face and completes the over-all look perfectly.
Caitlyn Jenner goes for all out glamour here with this voluminous up-do. Caitlyn has an inverted triangle face shape meaning that the forehead is the widest point of the face, followed by the cheekbones then the jaw. Caitlyn also has a low, broad forehead and a straight hairline, which makes her suited to hairstyles with a lot of lift at the crown, and ones without a fringe. Here, she goes for a flattering side-swept long fringe and bouffant hairstyle at the front, with a stylish twist at the back. Not only does this work well for her face shape, but also for her hair type which is fine and textured.
Color-wise, Caitlyn is suited to cool brown and red tones the best. Her complexion and brown eyes look fabulous here paired up with a rich chocolate brown hair color. Caitlyn's skin tone looks fresh and dewy while her eye color is highlighted.
Caitlyn Jenner is an American television personality and retired athletic champion.

The present invention relates to a keyboard device, and more particularly to a keyboard device having a hotkey function.
With increasing development of high technology industries, computers are widely used in our daily lives, or otherwise employed for working or amusement purposes. Among the peripheral devices of the computer systems, keyboard devices are essential bridges between the users and the computer systems. Recently, keyboard devices have experienced great growth and are now rapidly gaining in popularity.
Conventionally, when one or more keys are depressed, corresponding characters, numbers or signs are inputted into the computer system. Due to the amazing power of computer systems, computer systems are developed to have various functions. For example, the computer systems are widely used for playing multimedia files or linking to Internet. Under this circumstance, the conventional function of inputting characters by the keyboard device is not satisfied. For helping the user well operate the computer, many novel keyboard devices with expanded functions are developed in views of humanization and user-friendliness. An example of the novel keyboard devices includes a keyboard device with hot keys. A hot key is a key or a set of keys that performs a predefined function. The hot keys of the keyboard device include but are not limited to sound volume hot keys, Web browser hot keys, and the like.
As shown in
The finger of the user is an electrical conductor which has stored electrons. The touch panel 102 is disposed on the position corresponding to the touching circuit board 106. When a finger of the user touches the touch panel 102, the touch panel 102 is contacted with the touching circuit board 106 and thus a capacitive effect is generated between the touching circuit board 106 and the user's finger (conductor). Due to the capacitive effect, the capacitance of the touching circuit board 106 under the touch region is increased. As a consequence, the charging and discharging time for the touching circuit board 106 is extended in comparison with the situation that the touch panel 102 is not touched by the finger. The magnitude of the charging and discharging time may be used to discriminate whether the touch panel 102 is touched by the finger or not. In a case that the touch panel 102 is a draggable strip panel for adjusting the sound volume of the computer system, a touch region on the touch panel 102 is sensed by the touching circuit board 106 and defined as a datum point when the user's finger touches the touch region. After the touch region is touched by the user's finger, the user's finger may be moved on the touch panel 102 to adjust the volume sound. For example, if the user's finger is placed on the touch panel 102 and then moved upwardly, the volume sound will be augmented. Whereas, if the user's finger is placed on the touch panel 102 and then moved downwardly, the volume sound will be lessened. As a consequence, the touch panel 102 of the keyboard device 100 can be used to execute the volume sound control function without the need of the volume sound control program.
The dragging action on the touch panel 102 is controlled by the touching circuit board 106. The touching circuit board 106 will execute the instructions corresponding to the finger gestures. The capacitive effect generated when the user's finger is placed on the touch region is distinguished from the capacitive effect generated when the user's finger is moved. As known, complicated algorithm is required to firstly discriminate the touch region of the touch panel 102 where the user's finger is placed and then discriminate the dragging action on the touch panel 102. For implementing the complicated algorithm, the electronic components and associated circuitry layout on the touching circuit board 106 become complicated. Under this circumstance, a bulky touching circuit board 106 is necessary. The complicated circuitry layout is not cost-effective.
Therefore, there is a need of providing a keyboard device with reduced cost.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a keyboard device having a touching membrane switch to implement a predefined hot key function.
In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a keyboard device for use with a computer system. The keyboard device includes a base, a main circuit board, a base cover, a touching membrane switch, a touching thin plate, an upper cover and a plurality of keys. The main circuit board is mounted on the base for controlling operations of the keyboard device. The base cover shelters the base and has an indentation therein. The touching membrane switch is received in the indentation and electrically connected to the main circuit board. The touching membrane switch includes an upper printed wiring board, a lower printed wiring board and a partition plate. The upper printed wiring board has a first trace pattern with a plurality of upper contact terminals. The lower printed wiring board has a second trace pattern with a plurality of lower contact terminals. The partition plate is sandwiched between the upper printed wiring board and the lower printed wiring board and has a plurality of apertures corresponding to the upper contact terminals and the lower contact terminals. The touching thin plate is disposed on the touching membrane switch and has multiple icons thereon. The touching membrane switch is electrically conducted when one of the icons is touched. The upper cover has an opening for exposing the touching thin plate. The keys are protruded through the upper cover.
In an embodiment, the touching thin plate is touched to control a predefined function of adjusting sound volume, vertically scrolling a frame, horizontally scrolling a frame, zooming in/out a frame, opening e-mail, opening a multimedia playback program or opening a Word text file.
Preferably, the touching thin plate is made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
The above objects and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent to those ordinarily skilled in the art after reviewing the following detailed description and accompanying drawings, in which:
The present invention relates to a keyboard device with reduced cost. The keyboard device of the present invention has a touching membrane switch so as to obviate the drawbacks encountered from the prior art.
Please refer to
When a specified icon 208 on the second touching thin plate 209 is touched by a user's finger, the second touching membrane switch is electrically connected. Meanwhile, a corresponding program installed in the main circuit board 205 will execute a predefined function corresponding to the specified icon 208. For example, if the specified icon 208 corresponds to a predefined hot key function of browsing to a website, the computer system (not shown) linked to the keyboard device 200 will browse to a predefined website when the specified icon 208 on the second touching thin plate 209 is touched and the second touching membrane switch is electrically conducted. In addition to the function of browsing to a website, another predefined hot key function of for example opening the e-mail, opening the multimedia playback program, or opening a Word text file will be executed when a corresponding icon 208 is touched. When the user's finger is moved on the strip icon 208 of the first touching thin plate 202, a dragging action is performed according to the finger gestures applied to the strip icon 208 under control of the first touching membrane switch 207 and the first touching thin plate 202. In response to the dragging action, a predefined hot key function of for example adjusting the sound volume of the computer system is executed. In addition to the function of adjusting the sound volume, another predefined hot key function of for example vertically scrolling a frame, horizontally scrolling a frame or zooming in/out a frame.
From the above description, the keyboard device of the present invention is advantageous because the sheet-shaped and cost-effective touching membrane switch is used to replace the conventional touching circuit board. As previously described in the prior art, the touching circuit board should sense the touch region of the touch panel and then identify whether the instruction corresponding to the touch region or the dragging instruction needs to be executed. For implementing the complicated algorithm, the electronic components and associated circuitry layout on the touching circuit board become complicated, so that the conventional keyboard device is not cost-effective. Like the digital switch, the touching membrane switch used in the keyboard device of the present invention is switched between an on status and an off status. As a consequence, the computation of sensing the touch region may be omitted. If no contact terminal adjacent to the touch region has been electrically conducted within a predetermined time period, the instruction corresponding to the touch region is executed. Whereas, if one or more contact terminals adjacent to the touch region or all the contact terminals under the touch region have been electrically conducted within the predetermined time period, the dragging instruction is executed. Since the algorithm of the present keyboard device is simply to be directly written into the main circuit board, no additional touching circuit board is required and the space required to accommodate the touching circuit board is saved. In comparison with the conventional keyboard device, the keyboard device is simplified in structure and algorithm and thus more cost-effective.
While the invention has been described in terms of what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention needs not be limited to the disclosed embodiment. On the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims which are to be accorded with the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar structures.

Roast Pork W/Mustard & Peach Glaze
Can you really have too much of a good thing?
That is what I was asking myself as I tried to organize my recipes; an ongoing process that doesn't ever seem to end. Seriously, I could hire someone full time to keep them organized and they would never run out of work. Admittedly, I don't have the best system, but I can think of no other way. Right now, I have a small recipe box that I keep in my baking cupboard that has the recipes that I don't have memorized but that I use all the time. Everything else, if it isn't in a cookbook, is in a binder. I have a stack of white, three ring binders that I use for all the recipes that I write down while watching a TV show, rip out of a magazine, print off the computer, copy from someone else and so on. I have a binder for Appetizers/Drinks and Misc, Pasta, Main Dishes, Breads and Breakfast, Side Dishes, Cake, Desserts, Cookies Bars and Candies, Kid Food…and I think that's it. Each binder is then broken down into sub-categories. All of the recipes are cut and pasted together old-school style, and then slipped into plastic sheet covers, something I have found to be handy when I am slinging food around the kitchen. When I have a recipe I need, I just unclip that page from the binder and then return it when I am done.
The problem with this? The sheer amount of time it takes me to sort, trim, and add the recipes when I have literally, thousands. The only good thing about this is that I have quite a memory for recipes. Especially if I have made it before, I can remember what the text looked like, the color the paper was that it was printed on, and where on the page it was taped. Every once in awhile, I send Mike, my husband, through a binder looking for something specific. He is rolling his eyes and I am telling him "It has big bold printing in all lowercase and the recipe is in the bottom left-hand corner of the page." However, if anyone has a faster and easier way to store misc recipes, I am all ears. I do edit as I go, tossing recipes I see that I have no idea why I kept in the first place, or after a second look, eliminated because I would never realistically make that dish. And so, because I have never stopped collecting recipes, my binders are in a constant state of disarray. But hey! What do you care!? All my craziness weeds out the not so good foods and passes on the fantastic. Only winners on this blog, please. Of course, winning recipes are based soley on my judgement, but you will just have to trust me. Me and my binders.
Speaking of winning recipes, this one we never get sick of. I could make it once a week and still drool all over the dinner table. Super quick, super easy, and sooo good. Enjoy! Mustard and Peach Glaze
1/2 c peach or apricot jam (don't waste your money on the nice expensive stuff for this-generic tastes just as good)
2 T dijon mustard
1 heaping tsp chopped garlic
Mix and slather on pork roast or boneless pork chops before roasting. Outrageously good.

BBC Two
The BBC is in such a clusterfuck of crisis that Noel Edmonds is being considered as a white knight so Twenty Twelve spin-off mockumentary W1A is as timely as a sign installed outside Courtney Love's house this week telling her to shut the fuck up. Ian Fletcher (Hugh Bonneville) returns and this time he's Head of Values at the BBC, a new post created in the light of significant recent "learning opportunities at the corporation". That'll be all the underage girls they raped. Director of Strategic Governance Simon Harwood (Jason Watkins) is Ian's mentor through his early days at the corporation, thoughtfully guiding every shit storm away from himself and towards Ian. As he tries to head up his Way Ahead task force (mission statement: "Think big thoughts") the BBC parachute in branding fright-night Siobhan Sharpe (Jessica Hynes) which he needs like Lisa Faulkner needed her head stuck in a deep fat fryer on Spooks.
Elsewhere Head of Output Anna Rampton (Sarah Parish) gets a major pain in the balls when would-be Britain's Tastiest Village anchor Clare Balding drops out due to prior commitments – presumably some horses who needed slaughtering. Carol Vorderman (known horse fatalities: none) is offered the gig and is portrayed as respectful, calm and polite which is {REDACTED} what she is like in real life.
The Daily Mail recently asked if W1A was the BBC's most risky comedy ever and the first episode certainly puts that idea to bed. It's as risk-averse and cosy as satire gets. There's the familiar laughing at PR buzzwords that could apply to any corporate environment and much of the dialogue ends up sounding like that Abbott and Costello "who's on first?" bollocks. It's a little too knowing and far too pleased with itself. A pair of digital strategists called Rosenstern & Guildencrantz have the first names Ben & Jerry, clobbering us over the head with their McBain stand-up metajoke. A door opens to reveal Salman Rushdie arm wrestling Alan Yentob – a visual gag that belongs in an episode of Police Squad. Shirley, they're not serious?
Much of the dialogue ends up sounding like that Abbott and Costello "who's on first?" bollocks.
Because the BBC gets a clean bill of health here, as will every celebrity who appears. It's the kind of comedy roast that won't even give you a suntan. It's the same Twenty Twelve jokes in a different setting with even less point than before. David Tennant's Roy Mallard narration is getting a bit old. They really didn't need to make this.
The verdict: Unnecessary guffness.

#Newhairwhodis is how I've been feeling lately. A new hair do has a way of making you feel like you're on top of the world. Like "oh damn, where has this been all my life?" I was honestly just ready for something different so I decided to go with this super chic blunt bob in black.
I'm so excited to style this new do up in different ways! I'm even considering going a bit shorter for a much more dramatic feel. We'll see.
For the past few weeks I've been telling you guys about my latest shopping obsession Banana Republic and this week is no different. Why you ask? See these amazeballs leather gauchos? I scored them last week for a mere $17! Now gauchos are a huge trend this season and I'd always loved a good gaucho but decided to hold off on the trend....That was until I found these!
Now, living in Miami I was a bit hesitant to buy them since I thought it'd be hot ass hell in a leather pant but these are surprisingly cool. I decided to go for a sporty look and kept it simple with a linen white tank and a my fave waistcoat.
I'm so excited to dress these up! Maybe I'll remix them for an upcoming Art Basel party ;)
