A kidney transplant may be a treatment option for ESRD.
Kidney Transplant
Kidney transplant is an alternative to dialysis in individuals who have severe renal disease. A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure that inserts a healthy kidney from a donor into your body. Your kidney(s) are left in place, unless they are causing problems like an infection or high blood pressure. The donor may be a living relative, a close friend whose tissue closely matches yours, or someone who has died and donated his or her organs, which accounts for two-thirds of transplanted kidneys. One year after kidney transplant from a living donor, approximately 90% of kidneys are still working compared to 70% to 90% of kidneys from someone who has died. One transplanted kidney does the work of two failed kidneys.
Rejection of the transplanted kidney occurs within 3 to 4 months after the surgical procedure. The symptoms of rejection include: fever, weight gain, reduced urine output, and an increase in blood pressure. Moreover, blood tests will show deteriorating renal function. Drugs that keep your immune system from rejecting the kidney can keep the transplanted kidney working. Within the last decade or so, there have been major advances in the development of immunosuppressive agents beyond the traditional drugs (such as steroids, azathioprine, and cyclosporine), including the following:
- Tacrolimus
- Mycophenolate mofetil
- Anti-interleukin 2 receptor antibodies
- Antithymocyte globulin
- Muromonab-CD3
- Alemtuzumab
- Sirolimus
Complications from kidney transplantation and using immunosuppressive drugs include:
- Heart disease
- Osteoporosis
Adverse effects from immunosuppressive drugs:
- General cancer risk increases 10-15 times; the risk of cancer of the lymphatic system increases 30 times.
- Diabetes risk increases much more among African Americans than other ethnic groups.

Even though I'm bipolar, it didn't break me.
, 06-25-2012 at 12:17 PM (2326 Views)
Since I was diagnosed with bipolar at the age of 15, I've had multiple relapses, and they were my own fault. I got off my medications and tried to self-medicate with various things. I won't mention those things because its not so fitting, and I'm not quite pleased at those decisions that I made, but I don't have any regrets.
So flash back about a year and a half ago: I had my last relapse. I was full-blown manic with depression, and a lot of other issues, but it took a long time for me to fully recover from this relapse. I was rambling and had racing thoughts. But that didn't stop me from doing anything because a month or two later, all those problems were gone because my medications were fully in my system and were knocking out the racing thoughts and rambling.
So thus I don't use my disorder as an excuse in my life, because I continue on with everything I've planned and want to do. But, since I have this medical condition, I can't work, and my doctor/the government have me on social security. That was the best decision for them to make for me because when I worked before it was really hard for me to remain stable.
But, then again, it was also a learning process: learning how to cope, and fighting the disorder head on. I remember what a therapist told me in the hospital, and it really hit home. "Carlos, you can't keep coming off your medications! You need to stay on them so that you don't have problems ever again!"
He was right. Because when I was off my medications before, I ran into a lot of problems with the law, and I now have three cases on my record because of it. I had to sit in jail for 3 and a half months back in 2010, and that was my fault because I wasn't paying attention to my health, and it was a major scare. It was a wake up call for me because I couldn't continue on that path, which was, basically, self-destruction.
So, my point in this blog post is, no matter what you're going through, there is always hope, there is always faith to get well, and get back on your feet. I remember when I was still in the healing process, I was involved and chatting with a lot of other people like me, and made me feel so warm inside that others are suffering like me.
But, I wouldn't really call it suffering unless you're not taking your medications and not seeing your doctor when you're supposed to. I know what it's like to be depressed because when I was relapsed, I was crying for hours on end because my depression was at an all-time high, and everything was hitting me hard.
Like when my daughter's mom and I broke up, and I couldn't see my daughter. It brought on major depression, and compounded by not taking my medications, it was really a tough road for me. But then again, she left me for a reason. So when I got well, I looked at everything as a learning experience. I vowed to myself to never relapse again because I don't want my family, friends, nor community to go through the troubling experiences that I was going through.
Also, when you have a mental illness, it's best to treat it with medications or quality foods that are prone to help you. If you're stressing, take a break. If you're depressed, chill out, and try to get as much rest as possible: go for walks, clear your mind. I totally understand the pain and emotions behind being sick. It is tough, but as long as you stay strong, you can beat it.
It's just an obstacle in life, and when it happens, its best not to let it break you down, or make you gave up.
So, I just wanted to write this and express what was on my mind, and to say, I thank everyone for fully supporting me throughout my medical problems. And for those with medical issues currently, stay strong, the sun is always brighter than the dark side!!

By Joe Campbell, Director of Global Talent Development, Nike Retail, and William Finegan, VP, Knowledge Management Solutions, General Physics Corporation, written exclusively for Trainingmagazine
Corporate learning environments have undergone disruptive changes over the last 20 years due to the explosion of information technology, globalization of the workforce, and shrinking travel and training budgets. Those disruptions are accelerating with the introduction of new technologies such as social media. Potentially the most disruptive change of all, however, is the appearance of a new species of learner that we call the "Social Cyborg."
We use the term, "Social Cyborg," to describe people who have integrated social networks and information technology into the way they think, learn, and solve problems. It's helpful to think of these people as a distinct species, one that has evolved unique capabilities to take advantage of networked people and information systems.
Think of the Social Cyborg as a human-computer hybrid that belongs to a socially networked hive. They are permanently wired to information networks, walk around with hundreds of gigabytes of "outboard memory," have access to hundreds of applications to aid their thinking, and are in constant communication with a global network of other Social Cyborgs. In other words, picture your typical teenager.
What are the implications for talent development of this new species in the workforce, one that has evolved new skills that are different—and in some ways more advanced—than those of many people in the existing workforce? To gain perspective on the implications, we should take a history lesson from the disappearance of one of our species' closest cousins: the Neanderthal.
Step Back in Time 30,000 Years…
Imagine you are a Neanderthal, sitting on the floor of a cave, near a fire with your father, Bernie. You are polishing off the last of the woolly mammoth steaks you had stored in the family glacier.
The Neanderthal life is no walk in the park. It's freezing; there is no long underwear; saber tooth tigers think you're good snack material; and recently, many scrawny, hairless tribes have invaded your hunting grounds, making it harder to hunt food.
You and your species have survived for millennia because you've developed ways to pass knowledge from one generation to the next. This essential survival knowledge and social values have been preserved and passed down in the form of legends and stories. You learn skills directly from your elders and through daily experiences.
In a generation, your entire species disappears forever from the face of the Earth. The learning strategies you had relied on for survival and the tribal wisdom passed from one generation to the next did not prepare you for the disruptions you faced in your environment nor the competition from a species that adapted more quickly. That failure to adapt and evolve led to your extinction.
What Can We Learn from the Cavemen?
Training organizations could end up in the same unfortunate situation as the Neanderthals in a few years. We are already in a challenging environment that has been under increasing pressure to adapt to economic changes with cuts in training and travel budgets and the growth of information technologies. Those pressures will increase significantly as Social Cyborgs grow as a percentage of the corporate population.
To survive, training organizations must evolve our learning strategies or face extinction. In this case, extinction means irrelevance to our corporations and our learners. Understanding the learning needs of Social Cyborgs is the first step toward adapting our development strategies. Let's take a look at how the environment has changed and, as a result, how learners have adapted over the last two decades.
Looking Back
Imagine you are an alien who has observed the human race for the last 20 years. You would have noticed that, during this time, a relatively rapid spread of some new technologies has led to some significant changes in behavior.
In the 1990s came the rapid spread of networked desktop computers and the World Wide Web. E-mail became the dominant form of organizational communication. During this time, information stored on the Internet exploded and has continued to grow exponentially. The Internet became a shared global information base.
In the late '90s, many children in industrialized countries were born into homes with computers, and a generation who never knew a world without the Internet was born—digital natives.
In the second half of the '00s, smart phones—essentially miniature supercomputers with integrated communications and Internet access—proliferated. People now had accessorized supercomputers with 24x7 access to global networks of people and information.
In 2004, Facebook launched. It grew from 0 to 100 million users in four years. An additional 500 million users joined by January 2011.
As these technologies spread, people with access to them started spending increasing amounts of their time on computers and online—playing games, doing work, communicating with friends and colleagues via e-mail and text, and surfing the Internet. Experience of the world increasingly was mediated through technology. People with access to this technology, in particular those who grew up using it, were adapting their behavior to take advantage of the new technologies and networks.
It's naïve to think that people without these technologies are the same as people with them. It's also naïve to assume that people who have grown up using these technologies have not adapted new ways of learning, thinking, and problem solving.
Social Cyborgs have adapted their learning to take advantage of this rich environment. They research problems by leveraging the social networks and information resources available to them in the network. They review and filter information through open knowledge systems such as Wikipedia. They rely on their social networks to determine the value of information. They solve problems by seeking out help from their social contacts. This is distributed learning that leverages technology and people.
Change Isn't Just Imminent, It's Imperative
How have corporate learning organizations evolved their strategies to support these changes? We would wager for the most part that we haven't fundamentally evolved our approach to design and development for the last 30 years. We continue to operate under old assumptions about how people learn, where the predominant training process model remains ADDIE. We continue to rely on design and development strategies that target individual learners who learn independently and isolated from technology. We are not adapting. We still rely on learning management systems that are designed to support individualized formal learning.
How corporate training organizations adapt to the dawn of the Social Cyborg in the next five years will determine our future (see p. 23 and below for sidebars on recruiting and leveraging Social Cyborgs in the workplace). We are, in a sense, the last generation of Neanderthals, living in a world that relies on old learning strategies that have served us well, but that are increasingly irrelevant to the new generation of learners we support.
We must embrace the new mindset as though our survival depends on it. We need to evolve a new set of learning strategies, along with the tool sets, skill sets, and mindset to serve the Social Cyborg.
New tool sets: Create learning environments that incorporate social learning technologies, online mentoring systems, and collaborative learning platforms that encourage learners to share content.
New skill sets: Create new instructional design models that actively leverage the use of social and information networks by design. Thiagi's 4-door methodology is an example of this. Develop instructional design strategies and methods that target collaborative development, rather than individual development.
New mindsets: Assume that all learners are Social Cyborgs—connected to an extensive network of people and information that will be continuously leveraged as a learning and problem-solving resource. Assume that the primary role of talent development is to catalyze learning, not to design and deliver content.
While the new generation of learners could trump the relevance of corporate learning environments, it's just as true that it could lead to our triumph. The choice is ours. Like with the Neanderthal, we need to be more nimble and adaptable to the disruptions that also hold the key to our survival. Leveraging social networks, collaboration, and new technologies as the Social Cyborgs do is essential to our continued evolution.
4 Steps to Best Leverage the Social Cyborg in the Workplace
Step 1: Engage your staff. Appoint a taskforce consisting of both seasoned team members and new hires to draft a technology plan that maps the technological goals of your organization. Open and regular communication between the taskforce and the rest of the organization can help build a consensus for initiatives being considered or underway, as well as help increase job satisfaction. Workers are more likely to embrace the tools and technologies put in place if they have a say in the selection and rollout of the tools. By engaging the staff early in their careers, your social strategy will stay fresh, as will the outlook of your employees.
QUICK TIP: Regularly rotate people onto the taskforce to help feed the creativity of the group and allow others to participate.
Step 2: Establish a virtual office strategy. Younger workers—the Millennial generation and those still at school—will embrace the virtual work environment and reject the traditional office. With increases in gas prices and more demands at home, the flexibility of a home or virtual office is a deciding factor for many as the job market improves. The combined forces of culture, people, and technology are converging to allow companies and their people to fundamentally reevaluate the proposition of work and, in turn, challenge the nature of work and the workplace. Being cognizant of that by providing a defined virtual office strategy is key for success.
QUICK TIP: A good instant messenger program is critical. Standardize on tools such as Microsoft Communicator to enable productivity, and be sure to consider video tools such as Skype and networking tools such as Yammer to complement the employee experience.
Step 3: Embrace Facebook and Twitter. Attempts to control employees' use of such software could damage firms in the long run by limiting the way staff will communicate. Using technology to build closer links with former employees and potential customers also could boost productivity and innovation, and create a more democratic working environment. For many, social media tools such as Twitter are replacing, or at least heavily supplementing, traditional information sources. Twitter can be a resource for your business, allowing you to broadcast company news, interact with clients and customers, enable group communication, and link potential customers to your Website.
QUICK TIP: Tie the use of social media to a business goal, such as solving a problem or enticing collaboration, and educate your employees on the dos and don'ts of social media.
Step 4: Support the use of tablets and mobile devices. The tablet computer is becoming a crucial business and productivity tool for individuals and organizations everywhere. Devices such as the iPad are being embraced by companies of all sizes by finding innovative uses for them in office suites, on factory floors, and in the field. Social users embrace them, and they have found their home in the workplace.
QUICK TIP: Develop security and governance plans for mobile content.
3 Keys to Recruiting the Social Cyborg
1. Offer a creative work environment. Creative and inspiring work environments were once the domain of ad agencies. Now more and more businesses are adopting this innovative spirit to imprint their corporate culture on their offices and to attract the "wireless" individual. Concepts such as "hoteling" of cubes are becoming the norm in more digitally centered organizations.
QUICK TIP: Start small. Create an interactive space in your office that allows for easy wireless connection, comfortable seating, and other inviting features to show potential recruits that you understand the fluid needs of today's workplace.
2. Have a defined social media policy and presence. Organizations have different levels of users, some who will have greater knowledge of and exposure to social media than others. Things that may be obvious to you may not be so clear to everyone. By defining and sharing your policies on social media, as well as creating your social media presence, be it through a Facebook site or Twitter, you will show recruits you understand the world in which they live and thrive. Establishing guidelines for how your company manages social media will allow you to establish credibility.
QUICK TIP: Start small. Define a short list of dos and don'ts that reflect corporate policy but also show flexibility. Follow these guidelines and establish a basic presence in social media to gain momentum.
3. Make mobile a part of the recruiting. Each day, more and more people turn to mobile devices to access the Internet. It's a trend that shows no signs of slowing. Mobile technologies will continue to grow in popularity and sophistication, and the more you implement mobile recruiting into your current strategy, the better you'll be positioned to take advantage of it in the future.
QUICK TIP: Text. Make sure the recruiting technology you use enables you to send and track the performance of short message service (SMS) job campaigns to your contacts. Your recruits will check their texts more than their e-mails, and more frequently.

With Miami Springs, Virginia Gardens and Doral all on the move when it comes to the recent revitalization of annexation boundaries, Medley was not about to be left behind.
That's why annexation was a major topic at the top of the agenda list at last Monday night's March 4 monthly meeting. And 30 minutes after it came up, the council voted unanimously to agree on new boundaries and give Town Attorney Michael Pizzi the green light to move forward.
The most recent dispute came up a few weeks ago when Doral, led by Mayor Luigi Boria, contested its northern boundary of Northwest 58th Street between Northwest 87th Avenue and the Palmetto Expressway.
Medley was in line to scoop up everything from 58th Street north to 74th Street, but Doral was trying to stake its claim to "Section 15," as it is referred to.
Thanks to a conference call between Medley mayor Roberto Martell and Boria last week, a deal was struck and a compromise reached when they both agreed that 64th Street would be the boundary, with Medley taking everything north of that.
Pizzi went before the council on Monday night to explain the situation to all council members and look for direction as far as what to do.
"Both cities recognize that a protracted battle over the boundaries might just delay the process," said Pizzi. "Mayor Martell and Mayor Boria reached agreement to go to their respective councils that Section 15 be split accordingly, and that's what we are doing tonight."
Pizzi also went on to explain that "mudding up the waters" and beginning a squabble with Doral could be highly detrimental to the process.
"At this point, proceeding with the annexation initially proposed by Medley with the one modification would appear to be the way to go," said Pizzi. "We need to move forward because if we don't move forward, we send a signal that we're not ready and want to have more discussions. Then it's possible that Miami Springs and other cities will move forward in the next few months and the cities that are not in agreement will get left behind and perhaps for many years."
Martell then chimed in.
"I have talked to all the mayors and think this is a done deal," said Martell. "I had a conference the call the other day with the mayor of Doral and he gave me his word that they would agree to take everything up to 64th street and we would then take everything up to 74th. I think it is important to come to some kind of an agreement so that we can move forward with this and not risk getting left behind."
Vice Mayor Griselia Digiacomo was not thrilled with how the entire process had gone down as far as Doral going after an extra chunk of land but reluctantly agreed that backing the mayor was the only way to go.
"Even though I don't entirely agree with having to compromise some of the property lines with Doral, I still agree with and support the mayor's idea because moving forward with this is extremely important at this point," said Digiacomo. "I just want to make sure that we have something in writing and not going on just the word of the Doral mayor."

September 21st: 'Bits n Bobs' Chocolate Cereal, Flapjacks, Cookies & Bars
The Fabulous Bakin' Boys Choc on Top Flapjack
Kcal 354 Fat 17.1g Fat(sats) 7.7g Carbs 45.8g
I've had a few variable run-ins with with the Fabulous Bakin' Boys range down the years - some good, some pretty abysmal (See HERE). Encouraingly one of the better experiences I've had with them was with their Choco Flapjacks, which managed to impress despite their small size.
Aiming to combat the problems of the aforementioned FBB offering, this 'Choc on Top' flapjack looked like it meant business and weighed in at a 75.0g catch weight. Calories galore, I ate this flapjack alongside my mid-afternoon coffee and boy it felt exceedingly heavy in hand. The base flapjack was pleasant, though the taste was definitely not as buttery or caramel led (new word haha!) as say Heavenly Cakes flapjacks are. Whilst the base was fine, the chocolate topping was abysmal. It was waxy and horrible in texture, and almost completely devoid of any cocoa or milk flavours whatsoever. The chocolate element was so AWOL I question why they bothered including it in the first place. There are many better chocolate flapjacks out there.
5.8 out of 10
Kellogg's Krave Cereal
Kcal 135 Fat 5.0g Fat(sats) 2.0g Carbs 9.0g (30.0g serving)
The reader requests for me to review this cereal have been coming in ever since it's launch back in 2010 (See HERE), and what with the launch of a second Milk Chocolate variant (purple) to accompany the original Milk Chocolate Hazelnut variant (red) I could hardly ignore it any longer. I found these 'limited edition trial packs' on sale in my local Tesco - how convenient for a chocolate reviewer who just wanted to try them the one time - Thanks Kellogg's :D
To test these cereals out I replaced my usual big bowl of bran flake cereal with these 30.0g trial packs. You may have noted already that I have lumped both of these cereals ratings under the one Krave scoring chart - I've done this because I thought exactly the same about both of them. A real strength about both variants were that they had a nice unique mouthfeel, and the distinction between the crisper outer shells and inner paste centres was evident even after a long duration in the milk. In terms of differentiation between the two, I felt there was very little difference between the two flavours. Both were very sugar led in taste, though the milk chocolate offering was just a touch sweeter in my estimation with the hazelnut variant tasting just a little saltier (despite having lower salt in ... go figure!). My big issue with these cereals was that they just didn't do the functional job I wanted from my breakfast and on both trial days I was hungry by 10.30am having consumed them at 9.00am. I'm sure the kids will love these sugar fest offerings but I can't envisage them appearing in my cereal cupboard again anytime soon.
6.5 out of 10
Nabisco Chips Ahoy!
Kcal 190 Fat 9.0g Fat(sats) 3.0g Carbs 27.0g (per 4 cookies)
What with my forays into the British biscuit market this year it was only a matter of time before some of my US readers began requesting I reviewed some of their most popular cookie offerings. In the US, Chips Ahoy! are one of the best selling cookie brands - I have my pals at American Soda to thank for providing me with the ones you see in the review today.
American Soda were kind enough to send across a few 40.0g packs of these original Chips Ahoy! and I ate them across various times during my working week. Partnering my mid-morning and mid-afternoon coffees, I often left the packets unsealed (four was a bit too many for one time!) - this didn't effect their texture whatsoever, as they maintained a consistent crunchy freshness. In terms of taste I found them preferable to the majority of lacklustre cookie offerings we get in this country (e.g. Marylands's), with their less sugar focused taste allowing greater emphasis on the salt hinted wheat. The semi-sweet flavours of the chocolate chips also came through relatively well, though at times I thought they were a little sparsely integrated. Store bought cookies aren't ever as good as home made fresh, but for a taste of America these snack-pack Chips Ahoy! are a decent little offering.

Mr Kipling Choc Chip Cakes
Kcal 108 Fat 5.0g Fat(sats) 2.0g Carbs 10.0g (per cake)
Mr Kipling hasn't always had the best time here on ChocolateMission - his Chocolate Slices (See HERE) hardly lit up the scoring chart when he was last featured on the site. Despite this I had higher expectations for these Choc Chip Cakes. I used to have these often during my younger years and used to really quite like them. Today I was hoping this would all stay true to the current day so I could finally have something nice to say about our beloved Mr Kipling :D
Just as with the majority of all these products featured in Bits and Bobs I found these on a £1.00 deal in my local Tesco. Aesthetically and 'in-hand' these cakes looked a lot smaller than I remembered them from past times - I don't have the figures to confirm it but I'm pretty confident saying they are definitely significantly smaller than they used to be. To my delight the smaller size was thankfully no issue to the taste - they were exactly how I remembered. The sweet, vanilla noted Madeira cake was delightful and the chocolate chips were surprisingly well portioned which created a more than adequate chocolatey flavour burst. These weren't the most fulfilling of cakes because of their size and light texture, however that just gave me all the more excuse to have two :D I recommend them as a decent, cheap cake option.

Jim ..... in the words of John Mcenroe 'YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS'
Krave is the bomb! How can you justify a score of only 6.8!? Sorry mate its the best cereal I think I've ever tasted. I go through boxes a week at the minute. - September 21, 2011
- Chris said...
Good win for Man U again last night huh Jim? Even your reserves are a million times better than the rest. Its embarassing for the rest of us.
- September 21, 2011
Its sad but im half glad to see this because it will stop the people complaining you haven't posted one for ages lol.
- September 21, 2011
- Kim said...
Woop woop woop Bits and bobs is back in action and its about time :)
- September 21, 2011
I thought we had seen the last of bits and bobs but im glad to see I was wrong.
We dont need one every week but the odd one every so often is a good thing to keep it varied. - September 21, 2011
- Alun said...
Jim this is a very random request but do you think you could review the Mr Kipling custard + bramley apple pies. They recently just made a come back :) I would love to read a chocolate mission style review of one.
- September 21, 2011
- Trish said...
I think your review of the Mr Kips chocolate chip sponges is spot on J. I used to get them in my lunchbox all the time at school so I well rehearsed in the arts of them.
By the way you aren't imagining anything in regards to them getting smaller. They have definitely got that way since I used to have them back then. - September 21, 2011
Oreos are so much better than Chips ahoy. Any one who says otherwise is clueless about cookies.
- September 21, 2011
I like Krave but its got to be the hazelnut flavour one. I agree with you that the purple coloured one does suck. I dont even want to think about how bad it is for me lol. That would put me off for life if I knew that.
- September 21, 2011
Jim you do realise that even though you don't post everyday like you used to, that youve probably reviewed just as many things thanks to bits and bobs. Lol it sorta defeats the object of every other day posting doesn't it!? You might as well just post every day man.
- September 21, 2011
I seriosuly don't get how a flapjack looking that beastly achieves a score like that. I was expecting to see far higher when I scrolled down.
- September 21, 2011
- Sally said...
Mr Kipling is worthy of far more than that. I can eat whole boxes of those cakes without even thinking about it. The only thing I dont like about them now is that they are loads smaller than they used to be. Im not fussed at all if they were to put the price down but they dont. They should either make them cost more and make them bigger, or reduce the size and put the cost down. Doing one but the opposite is just beyond cheeky.

Are you still doing your news page thing? I have a story for it if you are interested in new ones.

Hey J
Q: If Fernando Torres was a Mister Men which would he be?
A: Mr Sitter of course
:-) :-) :-)
You enjoy that one? Big game for Pool tonight at Brighton. Lol the Carling cup is so lame.
Good seeing you share my love for ChipsAho btw.They are easily some of best cookies going.
N - September 21, 2011
If Jesus came back reincarnated as a cereal it would be Krave or Lucky Charms. I rate each as highly as another. You know what that means J ;) I think we need a Lucky Charms review next :P

Bits and Bobs FTW. It's like Snack of the Week but four times the amount. I love it.
- September 21, 2011
- Clare said...
Are you still against the idea of doing some milkshake reviews?
If you are can I insist on some more hot chocolate reviews soon please. Its already starting to get freezing and I want to be well prepared for the winter this year with the best hot choc ready and waiting.
x - September 21, 2011
Great pics today Jim. You've got my feeling v v hungry now your meanie :P
- September 21, 2011
- Kels said...
Its good you have finallly given some plaudits to our lovely Mr Kipling. He has taken a bit too much flak off this site for my liking in the past. I do love those cakes you featured from him btw.
- September 21, 2011
Brilliant to see you bring the bits and bobs posts back into the mix Jim. Honestly if you can manage to do us one a week it would be so so cool. Im not saying anything bad about any of your other reviews but man these are easily the ones I look forward to most beacause of the variety.
- September 21, 2011
Review the triple stuffed Oreos dude. They sound insane.
- September 21, 2011
- George said...
I saw that the supermarkets have started selling mine pies already lol. How mental is that.
- September 21, 2011
- Stacey said...
Always great to see you do one of these Jim. Much appreciated thank you.
Btw some of the photos are beautiful. I like the look of the flapjack even if it doesn't rate that highly with you.
Also the cakes look very tasty aswell. I just check your review of Mr Ks choc slices and was surprised to see such a low grade. hes supposed to be king of cakes isnt he. - September 21, 2011
Your man of all fields it seems now :) Since when did chocolate mission become a grounds for reviews like these ones?
- September 21, 2011
- Tricky said...
I'll be honest with you and say that I was hoping for a much better score for the kelloggs crave.
I never used to bother eating breakfast or anything like that but recently i cant stop eating this stuff. I know its not exactly a 'good for you' cereal but that stuff is so addictive i even eat it most afternoons aswell now. Its the best cereal ever. - September 21, 2011
- John said...
There was me thinking we wouldn't ever be getting another bits and bobs. This was a pleasant surprise when I logged on for my JCM fill this morning. Gd work. Keep them coming.
- September 21, 2011
Can I make a suggestion that you try the new chocolate orange rice krispie cakes. They are delicious.
- September 21, 2011
- Tim said...
Talking about cookies have you seen they are making special halloween themed oreos http://www.fdin.org.uk/2011/09/oreo-unveils-new-mini-halloween-bags/

Four for the price of one. These are uncharted grounds are they not?

Ace reviews m8. I had started to think you had given up posting the reviews like these ones. I like these ones where you cut down the words to something short and snappy. Just remember to keep on giving us your lovely photography :0
- September 21, 2011
- Gamer360 said...
I haven't had Chips Ahoy since I was last in America. I hope they can do an Oreos style turn up in the UK one day. Now that would be sweet.
- September 21, 2011
Do you know when you will be saying who won that ritter chocolate last week Jim? Its been over a week now.
- September 21, 2011
- Tricky said...
More impressive reviews young man. I especially enjoyed the mr kipling chocolate chip cakes ones.
That brought back some nice memories for even an old codger like me. I think you will find they are very old you know. - September 21, 2011
- Mike said...
Whats the big idea here then? Is it we get 4 small reviews instead of the one big one? Sorry Im new to this.
Looks like a good enough idea to me though. Nice one. - September 21, 2011
- Tom said...
Sorry m8 butim goingto take issue with some of the scores today. Like some of the other guys have said I tiink you've gone a little harsh on some of them.
For starters I think the Fab Bake Boys flapjack is better than that. I would give it a minimum of 7 myself, maybe even 8. Also the Mr Kipling cakes are some of the best non-fresh cakes I think you can buy in any shop. I would be giving them 8.5 if I were you. - September 21, 2011
- Ollie said...
A random but brilliant assortment today J. I so want to try that new krave cereal. I hope I can find some smaller packs like you did. I hear its a little on the expensive side for cereal.
- September 21, 2011
Lol you do fancy yourself as a jack of all snacks these days don't you Jimbo. I wouldn't disagree with you btw. Your reviews are all awesome.
- September 21, 2011
I see you didn't rate the flapjack very highly. If you had your pick of all flapjaks Jim what would you suggest?
- September 21, 2011
I still so want to try those peanut butter chips ahoy you once reviewed. I still haven't found anywhere selling them. Its incredibly annoying. Chips Ahoy > all other cookies.
- September 21, 2011
- Saz said...
Has anyone seen some of the deals u can get on FBB gear at the mo?
They keep on sellin all their cakes at 1/2 price. Its fantastic :) The lemon cupcakes are so good. - September 21, 2011
- Rachel said...
No way jose! Im not happy with the score you've given the choc on top flapjack Jim.
It's one that I hold very dear to my heart you see. Our canteen at college had THE worse selection on snacks of all time and the only thing I ever used to buy from them was that flapjack. It saw me through many a tough time of chocolate starvation and cravings you see hun. I can't have you be so disparaging.
Rxxx - September 21, 2011
- Wendy said...
OMG you have so got me craving some Chips Ahoy now. We suck so bad at making cookies in this country.
The US stand apart from we have and Chips Ahoy are a prime example. - September 21, 2011
- Linda said...
Speaking as a mother some of you may begin to understand how hard it is getting snacks for my kids who have nuts allergies.
To give you some context i couldn't even think of buying any of these for them because none of the manufactures here will risk saying the products are nut free.Its such a shame because things like the cakes would be great to give them for school. - September 21, 2011
- Matt said...
You should do more bits and bobs and less long winded reviews if you ask me. I love seeing all the pictures in the one day.Especially when they all look as yummy as that big flapjack thing today nom nom nom.
- September 21, 2011
- Ana said...
That Mr Kipling Choc Chip Cake looks wonderful :D
Remember when you asked me whether we get any sweets from the UK here in Romania? The answer is still "usually not much", but I've recently discovered one shop where they sell loads of things I've seen reviewed on your site. Terry's Chocolate Orange (I think four, maybe five kinds), Cadbury bars I've never tried before, lots and lots of Fox's biscuits and a lot of other things. All I've tried so far were two Mr. Kipling cakes (fruity ones, not with chocolate) and they were a nice enough start (so if I can find the one from today's post, I'll certainly give it a try).
And to think I went in because from the outside it looked like the kind of place that would sell things for kids... Truth is... I did feel like a child when I saw all the things they had :) - September 21, 2011
- Rodzilla said...
I've wanted to get my hands on Krave cereal forever. Glad to see them reviewed.
Chips ahoy are decent for a harder cookie, but you really need to try softbatch if you want the best of the mass-produced. - September 21, 2011
This is a cool bits n bobs today :) (as they always are lol).. never been that keen on the choc chip cake slices, i tend to prefer chocolate cake with it. All these things have got smaller though, everything seems to be shrinking by the minute.
The flapjack Ive had before and I agree with you, the chocolate topping is horrible. It has a very odd artificial taste to it which is nothing like chocolate. I still wish Id got hold of those cadbury ones, they seem to have vanished long ago, I seem to recall only ever having a couple and that was just very rarely.
@ Linda - Im almost sure the Fabulous Bakin Boy's products are nut free.. im sure ive seen a little symbol on the packet, aswell as some of Mr kiplings aswell. Maybe worth a look :)
@Mike, thats near enough yes :) it may not be four everytime but the idea is to give small reviews to things that may not warrant a full review and sometimes dont get a rating but are worthy of a little write up :). It may be snacks, biscuits or just curiosities on the market. - September 21, 2011
- Jim said...
Hi All,
What a glorious it is down south :D The sun is out and the majority of you seem pleased to have a bits and bobs review to get stuck in to today :D
Some of you have taken a few issues with the scores I've given out. This is the beauty of the site guys .. leave your views if you disagree, this is very much an open forum with anything and everything worth a debate.
CHRIS - It was impressive. I keep waiting for it all to go wrong. I just hope it doesn't.
ALUN - Let me see what I can do. REQUEST NOTED.
TRISH - Glad to know I'm not imagining these things.
GOLDEN - You could see it like that but it's more the maintenance of posting everyday that is the most time consuming. If it were just a matter of reviews I could easily still do it if I wanted to, thats not the issue.
NIGEL - Haha that made me laugh! I was thinking of trying to get tickets for the Amex stadium tonight but I unfortunately didn't have the time.
CLARE - The hot chocolate reviews will return a little closer to Christmas time. Watch this space.
ANON - I've been reviewing all this sort of foodstuffs for a while now. It shouldn't really come as a surprise anymore.
ANON - There is a review of the orange chocolate Kirspy squares up already. Have a try of the search functionality.
TIM - I will add that to the news page. Thanks.
ANON - The winner will be announced at the weekend. It's going to be a tough pick.
MIKE - Bits & Bobs is a way of doing multiple small reviews in one day rather than just the one full depth one. It seems to go down ok most the time.
TOM - Don't apologise, you are allowed to disagree :D
BANKSYS - Jack of all snacks :D Haha I love that.
RYAN - In two words ... Heavenly Cakes flapjack.
SAZ - Most the time I see them on 'better than half price' deals. It is mental the price they sell at most the time. You got to wonder how they make any money.
ANA - That's great to hear you have found yourself a new source of UK products. I look forward to hearing your further thoughts on them when you get the chance to work your way through them.
RODDY - You should try Ebay for your Krave cereal chap. Either that or find someone to swap packages with you. If you do get hold of some Krave make sure you do a review. It would be good to hear your views on it Stateside.
Thanks everyone - as always I really appreciate the feedback. Please keep it coming in.
JIM - September 21, 2011
Nothing is ever going to defeat the awesomness of chips ahoy if we are talking cookies. The uk doesn't know what its missing out on at the moment. I swear I remember reading once they were going to start doing them but they never followed through with it. Its a shame.

So much for me staying on the straight and narrow with the diet this week. Im going to have to get reaquainted with those kipling chocolate chips slices, its been far too long since I last indulged in some.

- Duncan said...
HI Jim. I love seeing b&b coming back.
I havent had any exp with any of these today apart from the cookies. Im not a big fan of cheap ahoy (oreos are so much better) but I understanf why a brit might think they are better than they are because of the cookies you get given here lol. For a country so obsessed with its sweet 'biscuits' im flummoxed why you guys cant make a decent cookie. Thank you for the reviews. - September 21, 2011
- Daniel said...
You must be a hard man to please jim. I think some of the scores given here are a little on the low side of things, I would have been more generous.
The ones in particular I think are low are the flapjack and Krave. I do have that flapjack sometimes and I think its a fair alternative when you can get a fresh one from say a bakery. Also I embarassingly have to admit to my current Krave addiction :P I can't stop eating the stuff lol. - September 21, 2011
- Gus said...
Speaking of ChipsAHoy jim im interested in hearing what the chewy style ones are like. They come in the red packaging http://www.americansoda.co.uk/uk/American-Soda/Home/Food/American-Groceries/Chips-Ahoy-Chewy-14-OZ-(396g).aspx

Cracking reviews today m8. This week has been great so far for reviews out of the norm. What you got in stock for us Friday and Saturday eh!? Lol I know you wont say grr
- September 21, 2011
I see more and more cereal posts are creeping in here Jim. I think its cool, I want to see loads more of them if you are prepared to add another string to your reviewing bow.
- September 21, 2011
Jim are you taking requests? can I be cheeky and ask you review the new purple quality street chocolate bar?
Lol its got caramel in ;) You should like it lookingat your leaderboard. - September 21, 2011
Great site Jim, I'm a recent discoverer!
I picked up a fabulous bakin boys chocolate flapjack on the way to work the other. While it did make a satisfying and surprisingly filling snack, the chocolate smacked a bit of that cheap cake topping, and the flapjack could have been less dry. But maybe I just got a bad batch hey Jim? - September 25, 2011

Cooking with Sheila
Rise and Shine Morning Glory Bread
This bread tastes so good that it's hard to believe it is so easy to make.
"What's the story, Morning Glory? Need a little time to wake up wake up." ~Oasis (Morning Glory lyrics) Around Christmastime a coworker of mine brought in an amazing homemade bread to share with us. It was sweet and dense and had carrots in it, so I knew it was super good for me. Well, it was so delicious that I had two pieces (ok, maybe three). So when it came time to make something for a day with the ladies I thought this would be just the thing. I'm bringing it today-hopefully the loaf will make it out of my kitchen. There are lots of recipes for Morning Glory bread out there-you can find both low-carb and low-fat versions, and recipes using different fruits-pineapple, apple or pear are popular choices. I chose to add raisins to mine. …

Thanks so much. A bit hidden don't you think.
hmmmmmm, it just amazes me how quick they work. I guess they don't have a life???
I got spoof repins from the boards of two spam-commenters I followed back - a third has no boards. I've also sent in a support ticket about the spoofs and the spam comments, since right now there's no way to report a COMMENT on a pin.
So everybody, keep an eye on your boards for pins about bogus gift cards, dubious weight-loss products and penny auction sites!
Do you all have Pinterest set so only you can pin to your boards?
Yes, but that doesn't seem to matter for spoofing.
I just noticed that changes to the layout and I have to say I'm not a fan at all. I had a really hard time yesterday trying to find things or accomplish anything really. I was really pleased with the old look.
This may be staring me right in the face but....
is there a way to rearrange the order of pins on a board at Pinterest? ie can I change the sequence of the photos after I have added them, or does the default order stay in place unless we delete and repin items?
I didn't see a way to do so. I even searched the help pages and didn't see mention of it. I certainly could be missing something as well:D
One can edit profile to move boards around but unless you delete and relist I don't think you can do this Cheri.
I don't think you can rearrange the pictures on a given board.
You can rearrange the boards on your page
thanks...since they changed to their not nice format, I wanted different photos to be the main one on top.
sigh...I really don't see the benefit for them to have changed the way the boards display at all...just makes no sense to me to do it the way they have when it looked so much better the old way!
probably right Sandy. Not too sure tho how having one large pic on top makes mobile viewing better tho!!

Never been in this hotel before and my last time in Bruxelles was 20 years before, so I do not remember where I spent my 2 or 3 nights that time, but certainly it was not a self-referring 4 stars and the room was larger and the price was not the equivalent of 160 euro for a single room.

We are showing you the UK version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
On Customer Service
With last week's Winter Sale happening the phones around the office were ringing off the hook. The wedding of a certain Prince did nothing if not make matters worse for those of you hoping to get your gear soon. However, it is safe to say that Stateside we have the right man on the job. He goes by many names, but the one that you would know best is Tim Coghlan. Tim joined our forces a little over a year ago, but up until last Friday he was only part-time. Thankfully, we now we have him all to ourselves as Tim is the one to handle Customer Service for all of the United States and Canada.
A lifetime of training in various areas has helped Tim to perfect his personal views on customer service, but a few years on the floor at the local Portland Patagonia store probably didn't hurt anything. He can answer anything relating to any one of our products. In fact, I implore you, put him to the test, you can't stump this guy. But, this is far from the extent of his skills. Not only have I seen him get out his needle and thread to fix a jersey that needs repair but also massage the necessary ointments into the Grand Tour Gloves to start the softening process of the leather.
But do not think that he can hoe this road all on his own. There are a few things that cannot be done within the small confines of our office. Which is why we are lucky to have the help of Mountain Soles. located here in Southeast Portland. Mountain Soles has long been providing the outdoor industry with the best repair services in the business. This is where we send everything complex that needs to be done to damaged garments. Matt Menely can fix whatever needs to be fixed (unless he cannot). Bonding and stitching holes in bib short material? Not a problem. Same goes for patching and repairing the neoprene that is used to make up our fantastic Overshoes. Even the complex repairs that are required to make that jersey that you took a little tumble in last weekend can be assessed and usually fixed by Matt as he specializes in stitching and the sort of customized fabric repairs that are necessary in crash replacement. Matt needs no further qualifications than that, but in case you were wondering Mountain Soles also provides all the repairs for Patagonia's footwear line. So, when you wear through those Pau shoes, this is the place where Patagonia will send them to have their soles replaced.
Early last month Matt from Mountain Soles was kind enough to open his doors and allow a brief look into the tiny world that is Mountain Soles. He even took the time to explain everything from start to finish in the area of shoes. There are some examples of his cycling footwear work on his Flickr page. His collection of Italian shoe manufacturing machines are out of this world.
Side Note and a good thing to know about: While on the road with Tim Johnson and Co. we ran into a bit of rain on the East Coast. One never knows what the winter will bring in that part of the country. There was an issue with the Rain Jacket taking on a bit of water, but no worries Tim Coghlan was quick to fire back with a fix that has helped my spring riding to a great degree since.
Here is Tim Coghlan in his own Rain Jacket I have included this photo partly so that you will have a face to put to the name when you speak to him on the phone, and partly so that you should know that he rides his bike and he rides hard. If you have questions about clothing or repairs you may contact Tim here: email@example.com

360 Degree super Hi-res view over the Grand Canyon from Sab Bani Khamis.
It's called Jabal Shamss, which translates to "Mountain of Sun" and what a fitting name it is. At an altitude of approximately 3.000 meters (10.000 feet) it's majestically situated under an almost allways blue sky with the intense Arabian sun shining above it, casting it's deep shadows into the depths below.
The hiking path of Jabal Shams.
Jabal Shams is not really a mountain as you'd expect, it's a mindboggling crevasse of immense proportions, therefore the name "Grand Canyon of the Middle-East" is way more fitting. Not only is the viewpoint [Google Earth] at the road through the Al Hajar Mountains range one of the nicest stops in the region: an actual hike through the Canyon is even better as the path is situated halfway up the cliff face of about a thousand meters.
Tiny village 600 meters below us.
In order avoid the worst shadows we leave early for our hours-long trekking, the sun will be nice above us for most of the trip so we'll be able to enjoy the best of the views. And boy, are those views amazing! From the early start till the final bits it's hard to keep your eyes on the small but pretty manageable path. At points it gets close to the edge and one viewpoint is just simply breathtaking when we can see a tiny village more than 600 meters below us. Even with my biggest telelens it's hard to get it fully visible. Apparently the few kids that live in the dozen or so houses are picked up daily for school but it's just hard to imagine living there.
Mill stones in the deserted village of Sab Bani Khamis.
Even harder is imagining living in the deserted village Sab Bani Khamis [Google Earth] that we come across after an hour or so. It was abandoned after a dam closed off their water supply that made it possible to live there. Just simply imagine a rocky ledge of no more than thirty meters wide with a deadly drop to the depths of the canyon. A couple of terrasses where they managed to grow crops and a few mud houses underneath a hanging ledge that towers above for hundreds of meters. Now that's remote living!
Fresh water in a hidden lake near the deserted village of Sab Bani Khamis.
After hiking through the tiny place and visiting a fantastic small mountain lake it's time to hike out: not by going back but by taking the Via Ferrata [Google Earth]. Definitely not as simple as hiking to the village is this climb out while being secured to metal ropes which are placed so falling down is not an option anymore (while scrapes and bruises still are though!). The climb under the deep blue sky is exhilarating: not too easy but not too technical either. And what a great feel looking over your shoulder or between your legs: the massive stone canyon that goes on to the horizon. This is truly one of my favorite vies of the world.
Out of the Grand Canyon through the Via Ferrata.

Outside help lifts Interboro to first girls basketball league title since 1998
Times staff
Even in defeat, the Interboro girls basketball team had something to celebrate Thursday night, when the Bucs wrapped up their first Del Val League title since 1998 — by virtue of Academy Park's victory over Penn Wood.
Logan Newman had a game-high 16 points and Haley Sipple scored 7 of her 10 points in a 15-5 fourth-quarter run, lifting Chichester over Interboro, 34-26.
Interboro's Olivia Encarnacion battled inside for six points and 13 rebounds and Brandi James came through with seven points and eight boards for the Bucs, who slipped to 10-11 overall, but finished in first place with a 6-2 league mark.
Elsewhere in the Del Val:
Academy Park 67,Penn Wood 62
Jordan Matthews had the hot hand at the right time for the host Knights (6-16, 3-5), scoring 17 of her career-high 34 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, and Markita Henry sank a pair of free throws to tie it at the end of regulation for her only points of the game.
Tytianna Mobley added a key 3-pointer and Courtney Jenkins scored 11 for Academy Park, while Penn Wood's attack was fueled by Chelsea Dent (22 points), Javanna Wilkins (14 points) and Lorna Caesar (10 points).
In the Bicentennial League:
Delco Christian 50, Lower Moreland 38 Continued...
Senior forward Anna Evans posted 15 points, seven rebounds and four steals and Jocelyn Chavous complemented her 13 points with a great defensive effort, as the host Knights (17-4, 15-0) remained perfect in league play.
In nonleague action:
Christian Academy 36, Friends Select 32
Gracie Cryan scored 12 points before fouling out with five minutes to go, opening the door for the visitors to cut into a 13-point deficit, but Krystal Mason (10 points) and the rest of the Crusaders (11-5) were able to hold on for the win.
Sacred Heart 51, Stuart Country Day 22
Ali Cobaugh established her career high with 11 points and grabbed eight rebounds while Danelle Singer (11 points) and Alana Tucker (10 points) also hit double-digits. Fifteen players saw action for the host Lions (5-16), who closed out the game on a 13-0 run.
Boys Swimming
Inter-Ac Championships
Jimmy Jameson was just that close. In the postseason appetizer that is the Inter-Ac Championships, you can bet it will make him that much hungrier.
The Haverford School All-Delco was narrowly touched out at the wall by Germantown Academy's Alex Lebed in the 100 butterfly, settling for second in 52.34 seconds to Lebed's 52.28, at the meet Wednesday. Continued...
Jameson paired his second in the fly with a third-place showing in a 100 backstroke event that was heavily populated by Delco swimmers. Behind winner C.J. Schaeffer of the hosts was Episcopal Academy's Ben Baturka in second, EA's Jameson Achuff in fourth and Fords teammates Luke Ryan (fifth) and Chet Bickhart (eighth).
Baturka's big day included a second-place finish in the 100 free. Haverford School laid claim to places seven and eight in that event through Alex Zhang and Ben Nelligan, respectively.
For EA, Achuff also finished fourth in the 100 fly, while Cullen McShane was eighth in the 100 breaststroke.
Haverford School's Matt Haigh finished third in both the 200 and 500 free, while Dan McGrath paired a runner-up finish in the 50 free with a fifth in the 100 breast. Zhang was ninth in the 50, while Bickhart finished eighth in the 200 individual medley.
In a nonleague meet:
Upper Darby 100, Bonner-Prendergast 82
Greg Walters won the 200 IM and 100 breast, Tom Brennan won the 50 free and 100 fly and John Mulholland swept the 100 back and 100 free to lead the Royals on Senior Day.
Girls Swimming
Upper Darby 86, Bonner-Prendergast 77
Alison McDonough won the 100 free, her sister Siobhan McDonough won the 500 and they teamed up with Meggie and Tess Leitz to form a winning 200 free relay as the Royals romped. Continued...
Seniors Erika Fimple (200 IM), Mackenzie Brennan (100 fly), Maura Perni (100 back) and Megan Gilroy (100 breast) also got into the winning act for the Royals.
Schedule changes
In light of today's weather forecast, the start time for Episcopal Academy's boys basketball game against Germantown Academy has been moved to 4 p.m.
Also, the Last Chance Meet indoor track event at Lehigh University has been canceled.

Ahhhh, it's nice to be back home cooking with my French Fridays with Dorie friends. I am making up last week's recipe as I love any excuse to buy and make scallops….but much as I adore them, I am the only one in this household who does. To his credit, hubby has tried them a number of times and just has not warmed up to this nor any other mollusk. Dorie's recipe combining them with fresh sweet corn and juicy peaches was just plain intriguing. The corn was shucked, steamed (my preference over raw), the nectarines and scallops were grilled, tomatoes sliced and seasoned, and the lime dressing and basil coulis were whipped and processed. All it took was a little arranging and drizzling…and voila, perfection on a plate.
This recipe can be found in Around My French Table by Dorie Greenspan.
Tip of the day: the scallops will sear best when dried of their juices just before cooking. A quick pat of the top and bottom with a paper towel will suffice.
