Jamie Oliver Shaker

Ross — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 19:12:03 +0000

Jamie Oliver Shaker sounds like a useful gadget to have about the kitchen.

With Christmas just around the corner I have been thinking about buying a present for my wife. Someone mentioned the Jamie Oliver Shaker which extracts flavour from herbs, nuts, leaves etc..
They say it is great for producing pastes and dressings for vegatables and meat dishes.
Marinades were also mentioned.
But then I read a few blogs where some customers had complained about the shaker breaking easily.
I mst admit that I also read quite a few blogs which were very complimentary to the flavour shaker

Mamma Mia Musical

Have just been given a present of tickets for mamma mia and am really looking forward to this show.
Having enjoyed the music of Abba for so many years, I never got a chance to see them live on stage and I suppose this is going to be the nearest to that experience.
They won the Eurovision song contest over 35 years ago with their entry Waterloo which went on to become a smash hit for them. They originally called the song Honey Pie for some strange reason. Glad they changed their minds.
With more than 20 of their hits in the show, this musical should not be missed.

perry mason

Remember Perry Mason, the attorney who always got a conviction, played by Raymond Burr. The black and white television series ran from 1957 until 1966 and covered 270 episodes. They were based on the who dunnit books written by Erle Stanley Gardner. The television production usually started with the scene of a murder, and generally finished with a court scene where Perry Mason would inevitably get a conviction and the episode would end with a smart or humourous remark from Perry. And we must not forget Perry’s able assistant Della Street played by Barbara Hale.
Now, the good news is that the Colonial Radio Theatre has started to release episodes from the Perry Mason series in audio book format. The first episode is called The Case of the Sulky Girl and is a 1 hour 55 minute MP3 download. This means that you can relive these famous court cases when driving to work or outdoors, taking a walk.

4 Hour Work Week on Audio Book

Ross — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 19:19:35 +0000

It is possible to work a 4 hour work week but getting to that point is a lot of work or you could just write a book to tell everyone how to do it and make the money off of the sales. The thing is that you can’t expect to instantly start working for a measly 4 hours a week right of the bat. You have to have some way of making money first, and something that doesn’t take your input. This is called passive income.

Well, Tim Ferris has other ideas. He believes that by employing outsourcers, and reducing our time at work, you can survive. His best seller the 4 hour work week is now on audio book.

In areport by The Business Journal, The Chevy Chase Bank is in talks to sell to Citigroup Inc., according to a report in the Wall Street Journal Thursday.

The newspaper said that Citigroup is one of a number of bidders pursuing Bethesda, Md.-based Chevy Chase, with $14.9 billion in assets, and it is not certain that Citi will prevail.

Chevy Chase Bank has been banged up by the real estate market decline. As of last month, $420 million, or about 4 percent, of its domestic real estate loans were in a non-accrual status. But Chevy Chase did manage to improve from a first quarter 2008 loss and post a second quarter profit of $2.2 million.

In the past year, Chevy Chase has trimmed its operations and holdings, putting the Lowes Island golf club up for sale, reducing hours at some branches, and ending its in-store banking relationship with Giant Food.
