Written by Charles Campion. Published on February 12th 2015.
Confidential has a new recruit, former Times, Independent and London Evening Standard food critic, author and Masterchef panel expert, Charles Campion. Here he writes about Hawksmoor, the game-changing steakhouse to open its first non-London restaurant on Deansgate in March.
EVEN in the 1960s - the darkest days of British cuisine - you could still get a passable steak.
Before opening the first Hawksmoor Huw and Will went on a global steak pilgrimage and came to the conclusion that traditional British rare breed cattle produced the best steaks in the world. They could well be right.
Granted it was usually cut too thin and overcooked, but for years steak featured on everyone's 'favourite meal wish list'. Whether you went to an Italian bistro or one of those tartan decorated steak houses, you could show your sophistication by ordering a prawn cocktail, followed by a rump steak and then a slice of Black Forest Gateau.
The last decade has seen British restaurants taking steak more seriously and scattered across London you'll find French steaks, Danish steaks, Irish steaks, Argentine steaks, American steaks, Scottish steaks, even Waygu steaks from Japan. The simple steak has come of age.
Hugh Gott and Will Beckett are the founders of Hawksmoor, and the business is built on two selling points – great steaks and strong drinks. The restaurants may be named after Nicholas Hawksmoor (an architect who built many of London's better baroque churches in the eighteenth century) but they are comfortably modern places and concentrate on doing a simple thing very well.
Lovely little plumpers
Before Manchester, the latest link in the chain was the Hawksmoor on Yeoman's Row, tucked behind Knightsbridge – this downstairs restaurant was formerly home to one of Marco Pierre White's ventures, (he was working with Frankie Dettori, the jockey) now it is dark and clubby with plenty of art deco flourishes. There's a large bar and a lengthy cocktail list which offers well made classic drinks priced around the £9 mark. Bolt down a couple of 'Fancy gin cocktails' by way of an aperitif.
Hawksmoor's menu is long and the list of steaks is balanced by a large seafood section. Three different caviars are featured (priced at up to £70 per 30g), all are from sturgeon farmed in Finland. There are some plump oysters and oyster dishes – the oysters dressed 'Vietnamese style' are surprisingly good – adding a zingy citrus top note to the molluscs (£8 for three).
A dish of wild sea bass, raw with chilli and ginger (£14.50) is another winner, a cousin of the oyster dressing, this ceviche has a delightful citrus/chilli punch. Under the heading starters you'll find Tamworth belly ribs with vinegar slaw (£10.50); Hawksmoor smoked salmon (£11); and a couple of salads – the Doddington Caesar is very good, salty anchovies, Romaine lettuce leaves, good dressing (£7.50).
Hawksmoor Porterhouse
There are fishy mains – including a 900g devilled lobster 'Singapore style' (£45), but you're here for the steak. Chateaubriand, Porterhouse, T-bone and Bone-in prime rib are all priced by weight (anything up to £13 per 100g). Hawksmoor made its name by selling monster steaks to delighted City traders and if you decide to compete your wallet may weep. The saving grace is that the meat is excellent.
Before opening the first Hawksmoor Huw and Will went on a global steak pilgrimage and came to the conclusion that traditional British rare breed cattle produced the best steaks in the world. They could well be right. These steaks are top notch – there's a fillet (300g £34), a ribeye (400g £30), and a D-Rump aged 55 days (350g £20). The rump is juicy, black outside and pink within. Add a side of Jansson's temptation (£6) a creamy, savoury, potato treat and you'll be in carnivore heaven.
The service is as slick as a cow lick.
The wine list has bottles that would make your credit card melt (Anyone for a bottle of Petrus '82 - a snip at £6,200?). Thankfully there are enough options on the lower slopes of the wine list to keep you cheerful and at prices (bottles start at £27.50) that mean you won't have to pawn a helicopter to pay the bill.
Manchester steak lovers take note, Hawksmoor may be the best you've ever had.
Hawksmoor will open in the Courthouse building at 184-186 Deansgate for the soft-launch from 19 Feb and fully from 5 March.

The Hawksmoors down South source their meat from the Ginger Pig. Does anyone know whether they're going to do the same up here or use a Northern supplier?

The Ginger Pig's farm is based in the North Yorkshire Moors - between Thirsk and Scarborough - so yes they'll continue to use a Northern supplier.

Service is slick as a cow lick.....it's not even open yet!
GordoFebruary 11th 2015.
if you pay attention, Charles is talking about the one in London.
Richard KiddFebruary 11th 2015.
Sounds good, as does Ibérica. But is Charles Campion really a new staff writer at Man Con? He only seems to pop up write positive preview pieces about London-based companies coming to our fair city. Kind of like a guest advertorial writing gig, but without the disclosure that you'd expect if it was part of the package the companies have paid for extensive coverage on ManCon prior to launch. What happened to Gordo's pledge to mark articles as promotional / advertising? Still, I'd love to read Mr Campion review the French, Manchester House or better still some of our smaller local independents for that matter! His columns and TV appearance are enjoyable and it would be good if he would help publicise some of our talent in that there London, rather than the other way round!

EditorialFebruary 12th 2015.
We initially brought Mr Campion on board to write about the two large London operators, Iberica and Hawksmoor (of which he's visited a number of times), and let us Mancunians know what to expect from them. However, Mr Campion will soon be joining us again to review a top North West restaurant, so keep an eye out. In the mean time, the editor Jonathan Schofield has just published a cracking new review of The French. Enjoy.
The PublisherFebruary 12th 2015.
Mr. Kidd, the pledge remains the same. Mr. Campion and I have nearly finalised an agreement for him to become a regular columnist for us. We agreed, and I have paid for, two experimental pieces on what we should expect from the two of the key players arriving from London into Manchester. I am delighted with them, and hopefully, amongst many other announcements, we will be giving you good news about that appointment. This serves to underline the fact that I am committed to ensuring that The Confidentials remain the gold standard of North West restaurant reviewing.
Well that's good news, and I appreciate the reply. We will look forward to reading more from Mr Campion, especially more locally focussed reviews.
pollolocoFebruary 12th 2015.
I agree RK, most probably just another cog in the Hawksmoor PR machine amongst others a little closer to home :)
Please see above Pollo.
Oh dear Pollo. Why don't you go to the Evening News site? I thing it would suit you far better to be honest. It's riddled with other Pollo's. All sad, negative, never a nice thing to say about anything.
Nothing wrong with Hawksmoor....its just the thinly veiled promotional PR...
I do like his style of writing and I'm quite excited by Hawksmoor. I'm a boring diner and always get suckered into having a good steak. Smoak has always been my favourite in Manchester, so I'm rather looking forward to this.
Is it Huw? Is it Hugh? Who knew?
Andrea HutchesonFebruary 13th 2015.
FFS, just tell me about the food.....
GlossopsharkMarch 5th 2015.
Just had a look at the Hawksmoor menu for Manchester and they are charging the same prices as they do in London. So the question is, VFM for London or expensive for Manchester?
AVOMarch 5th 2015.
I'd say it was expensive. Take for example Grill on the Alley. Their 450g T-Bone is £29 which includes a side. Hawksmoor's is £8/100g which equates to £36. Plus around £4 for a side which puts it to £40 or a third more expensive than GOTA. It's not all abut price but to some it is. I don't mind paying higher prices when I'm down in London because usually dinner down there is for a special occasion or part of a nice trip.
Mark GarnerMarch 8th 2015.
Avo, I spent Tuesday evening pulling down a pistol of dry aged beef into it's constituent parts at The Ginger Pig, in Shepherd's Bush, the suppliers. Believe me when I say there is simply no comparison between GTA's beef and this, frankly beautiful meat. Hawksmoor in Manchester have bettered even Gaucho. Good luck to 'em. Gordo has bought an eight year old car as it is far more important to him to eat well at the dinner table than arrive flashily on the way. Sort of the opposite I suppose to RW Emmersons 'life is about the journey not the destination'.

Welcome to 2017! I don't usually make resolutions, but I would like to take better care of myself this year and also remember to blog more (oops).
2016 was full of ups and downs. I'd like to share some of my personal highlights.
I moved in with my boyfriend this year. I really love our apartment complex. I think this may be the first time I've actually made friends with my neighbors (or even known my neighbors…) This may be the most adult I've been, hah!
I got to spend time with some of my favorite people this year. I met Hiro online about 10 years ago through web design and last year for New Years, she let me crash in her apartment and took me to eat delicious foods. She is probably the person I've been friends for the longest period of time. I also met Mika through the same web design community. This February was actually our 10 year anniversary. We'd met for a day a few years ago when a snow storm left her stranded in my part of town, but 2016 was the first year (in 10 years, wow!) that we actually got to hang out. It was so surreal.
I went to Dragon Con for the first time this year! I got to meet Jack Gleeson (Joffrey from Game of Thrones. I do love my Lannisters) and Craig Parker (Reign, Spartacus, Lord of the Rings… the list of stuff he's been in goes on and on and he is the most fantastic person ever!!!!) I also got to help William with his Overwatch cosplay, which was a lot of fun. I've never worked with worbla and wonderflex before, so it's been a trip getting to experiment with those materials. I'm hoping I'll get to try making some armor of my own in 2017.
There's plenty more, but there's a few of my highlights for 2016. Feel free to share your own in the comments, or let me know what your resolutions for 2017 are.
Good luck on your goals! Happy New Year~!

I turned around, and found myself, rarely for someone of my small height, even in my two inch heels, looking straight into the eyes of Natasha.
Natasha was petite, she was blonde, and she was smiling and offering me her hand to shake. "Hi, I'm Natasha," she said, her eyes fixed on me all the time.
"I'm Rupa. Pleased to meet you," I replied, taking her delicate hand in my own and trying to appear confident as I shook it.
"Oooh, I love your English accent," Natasha said with a smile. I had heard that plenty of times tonight already and I wondered if Americans were taught to say that at school.
"I love your, er," I said as I looked her up and down, desperate to pay a compliment in return. "I love your tattoos." Natasha had a magnificent set of multi-coloured tattoos: on her arms, on her shoulders, on the tops of her feet and her ankles, spiralling up her leg and thigh and across her stomach. Oh yes, now I remember the important part of describing Natasha, and why I was surprised, or even shocked, at meeting her. I'm able to describe Natasha's tattoos in such detail because Natasha was entirely naked.
"Why, thank you," she said, looking down at herself. I joined her in staring at the young naked body in front of me and wondered whether I was dreaming. "I've been collecting them for years. I started with a few small ones like this." She twisted around and pointed to an owl tattooed on her shoulder before turning back quickly as I tried to tear my eyes away from the way her tiny breasts wobbled as she spun around. "And this was next," she said as she twisted her leg outwards and pointed to a small butterfly at the top of her inner thigh, although all I could think of was that I was staring directly at her immaculately shaved vagina. "That one was for an old boyfriend, who wanted something that only he would see." She shrugged and her breasts wobbled again. "I guess everyone gets to see it now."

Actually maybe this week should be dubbed the "Small" edition, as all our purchases were related to that genius little magazine.
First up our loot from Friday's visit to Little Bean*… I bought a sweet dress for each of the girlies, which they loved so much that they promptly stripped down and donned the new frocks right there in the store… They then proceeded to sit on the curb outside the shop in their new duds like some kind of Little Bean sandwich board. While they were luring in customers, I got a few genius craft kits by The Little Experience. These little kits are seriously fun + easy to make and most run less than ten bucks.
I also grabbed a couple of the just released Small Draw coloring books. These are truly little pieces of art…so lovely and cool. If you had a little stack of these and a few of The Little Experience craft kits stashed away, I'm thinking you'd be set for classmate birthday gifts all year.
*If you happen to be in the Dallas area, definitely plan on attending the opening party at Little Bean this Saturday the 25th. Christine is serving up juice boxes, cookies and champagne (for the adults!) and later in the afternoon they'll have pizza +free children's portraits by Steven Visneau.
The dresses are just gorgeous! I was admiring them the other day when you posted photos of your weekends. Bet that brought in some business for the store!
I am hoping to get over the the new store. Little Bean looks likes a place I want to shop for the half pints in my life.
FYI, Joslyn, check out Desire to Inspire today as they have pics of Bauhaus inspired doll houses.
mb -- oh my those dollhouses are INCREDIBLE...I'm going to have hubby try to recreate one for the girlies...maybe for x-mas.
yes, definitely hit Little Bean. You'll love it!
I'm a little jealous right now. That store sounds perfect.
We just said, "it's time to find some coloring books" - thanks for the grand tip!
Lookit the wee painted nails! I remember being hypnotized for hours with colouring books.
Love to see all of the new Dallas posts. Keep them coming!

French Council of the Muslim Faith condemns terror attack in Nice
Omar Nahla, Thursday 29 Oct 2020
The council described the attack, in a tweet, as an act of terrorism; and urged French Muslims to cancel any celebrations of Prophet Muhammad's birthday
Mohammed Moussaoui, President of the French Council of the Muslim Faith, pictured on July 29, 2020. AFP.
The French Council of the Muslim Faith condemned the knife attack that claimed the lives of three in Notre Dame Cathedral, in Nice on Thursday.
The council described the attack, in a tweet, as an act of terrorism; and urged French Muslims to cancel any celebrations of Prophet Muhammad's birthday, observed today, to mourn the loss of the three victims.
A knife-wielding attacker reportedly decapitated a woman and stabbed two others to death earlier today. It was also reported that there are others that have been wounded in the attack.
The attacker has been detained by French authorities, and sent to a hospital after being shot. He was heard screaming "Allahu Akbar" while perpetrating the attack and being dragged away by the police.
The French Council of the Muslim Faith is a national elected body that serves as an official interlocutor with the French state in the regulation of Muslim religious activities

I have been having too much fun making kaleidoscope blocks lately. Every time I look at a fabric now I am wondering how well it might work for kaleidoscope blocks.
Bethany Reynolds has books on this technique which includes patterns for blocks with 45 degree triangle quilts as well as 60 degree triangle quilts, and she also includes patterns using diamonds and half square triangles. Her books are Stack-n-Whack and Stack-n-Whackier. Check out your local quilt shop to see if either is available. They might even order a copy of them for you. Or you can just make some blocks and create your own quilt or quilts with them.
This week I will be sharing my enthusiasm at Quilters Common in Wakefield, MA. I am teaching a workshop on the process for making these quilts. I also have a pattern available for this quilt which is available exclusively at Quilters Common.
Here is a quick rundown on the process.
I like to look for fabrics with large prints that have different shapes and colors. You need to pay attention to the repeat of the design on the fabric. You can work with any repeat, but I have found that I like working with a 24″ repeat, which is usually pretty standard with the larger print fabrics.
Since the classic Kaleidoscope block consists of 8 45 degree triangle blocks, you need 8 repeats of the fabric. 8 times 45 is 360, which gives you a full circle! Plan on buying at least 5 1/2 yards of fabric of your kaleidoscope fabric.
The first thing I do is cut my fabric in half lengthwise. This way you will be working with half of the width of fabric and this will allow you to have some flexibility with your fabric. You can either set up two sets of repeats of the fabric for cutting triangles, or you can use the other half of the width of fabric for length of fabric borders. What you do with the fabric depends on what you have in mind for a quilt.
You can snip and rip your fabric down the length or carefully rotary cut it. To do this I just rolled the fabric as I went to keep it out of the way. Snipping if faster and more fun, but it may pull at the threads in the fabric, so don't do this if your fabric is not a robust weave!
(As you view the photos in this article remember you can click on each to enlarge it.).
Layer the 8 repeats on your cutting board with the salvage on top. The next thing to do is to carefully cut eight repeats of the fabric. Each piece should be about 22″ x 24″ and they all should be pretty much the same. Once you have all eight repeats cut, layer them and match them up by placing a pin through the same spot in all eight layers. Secure that area that you have pinned by placing a second flat head pin in and out of the eight layers. Repeat this process with a few pins about 2″ in and each about 3″ apart from the side of the layers of fabric.
Once you have the pins in place you can take a look at the edge of the layers to see how well lined up they are. Make some adjustments by repining if necessary. If everything is lined up then go ahead a cut one strip of fabric for your blocks. For my pattern I cut 5 1/2″ strips.
Next cut the triangles. Bethany provides paper templates in her book, but I like using a 45 degree acrylic ruler. Mine is the Simpli-EZ Ruler by EZ Quilting. You should get 7 sets if triangles from each strip of fabric. Cut through all eight layers at once. Be sure you have a new blade in your rotary cutter. I like using a larger 60 mm cutter because you get better leverage and a quicker cut.
Next step is to sew your triangles together. First sew four pairs, then two pairs together and then the two halves together.
Consider trying this! If the back of your fabric is suitable you can achieve a mirror effect by alternating the back of the fabric with the front! To do this sew each set with both pieces right side up.
These two photos will give you an idea of the difference between using all of the right side of the fabric and a block with every other triangle with the reverse of the fabric. The same set of identical triangle pieces were used for both photos. Both are beautiful! Which would you use?
To finish the blocks I cut two 4 1/2″ squares for each blocks and then cut them once on the diagonal. Then I sewed each half square triangle to the corners of the blocks. The triangles are over sized so that you can trim the blocks to the correct size.
And here is another finished version of the same quilt pattern. The blocks on this one are all fabric right side up which creates more of a spiral effect. Pictures show the front and back of the quilt.

Love love love these. I made a one block wonder (similar idea) and can testify that the cutting and piecing precision are of the utmost importance. But WOW!
Thank you for the tutorial. I have not used this method in many(!) years. It is a good refresher for a technique that I had forgotten.


It's just a matter of time and our lives will be turned upside down!! Elijah is now able to get up on his knees. There he was smiling this morning up on his knees rocking back and forth. Time to get out the baby gate and store the barbie shoes in Sara's room!!

MILAN—Automobili Lamborghini SpA Friday took the wraps off the Huracan LP 610-4, the Italian auto maker's carbon-fiber and aluminum successor to the Gallardo that will compete in the small and increasingly crowded market for luxury sports cars.
A unit of Volkswagen AG VOW3.XE +1.10%'s Audi NSU.XE -0.75% brand in Germany, Lamborghini faces growing competition from its European peers eager to profit from the growing demand for these high-performance cars priced at €100,000 ($138,000) or more, and for which the biggest markets include the U.S. and China.
The exclusivity of cars such as the Huracan promises to be enhanced as regulators in major markets demand lower carbon-dioxide emissions; as an increasing number of models in the mass market come equipped with smaller engines or battery-powered systems, a car such as the Huracan, with a 5.2 liter V-10 engine capable of top speeds of over 200 miles an hour, will become ever more exotic by comparison.
The Huracan, the Spanish word for hurricane and named for a famous bull from Spanish bullfighting history, succeeds the Gallardo, Lamborghini's most successful car that went out of production in November after 10 years.
When it arrives on the market next year, the Huracan will help Lamborghini in its efforts to fend off competition not only from traditional rival Ferrari, owned by Italy's Fiat SpA, but also McLaren Automotive of the U.K., which this year launched its third model. It also competes with Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd., which is looking to expand its range after getting a cash infusion from a new shareholder.
Luxury sports car makers also need to contend with advances in technology that have the potential to reshape the market.The slick electric cars of Tesla Motors IncTSLA +5.48% , for example, have become an attractive alternative to gas-guzzling super cars.
Germany's BMW AG could also slice into the market with its plug-in, carbon-fiber bodied i8 hybrid, which will be priced above $100,000.
The Huracan, for its part, has a carbon-fibre and aluminum chassis, and a new gasoline injection system that provides more power and torque with less fuel consumption.
The market which Lamborghini inhabits is small, with a combined total of some 15,000 super cars sold in 2012 in China, Europe and the U.S., according to auto industry research and analysis firm JATO Dynamics. Lamborghini sold 2,083 vehicles that year, with turnover reaching €469 million. Lamborghini cars sell between €150,000 and €300,000 on average. It has yet to disclose the price of the Huracan.
Despite its size, even this market has its limits to growth, according to Gareth Hession at JATO Dynamics. Luxury auto makers limit the number of cars they produce to preserve a sense of exclusivity, while the market can only accommodate so many brands, Mr. Hession said.
Lamborghini and other luxury car manufacturers are looking to expand into the lucrative realm of sport-utility vehicles, a segment that has been growing fast. Volkswagen recently approved the budget for its Bentley Motors unit to produce a SUV. Lamborghini has said it aims to introduce an SUV by 2017.

Fund Helps Finance Responsible Shrimp Farming
Economics Sustainability Environment
25 April 2013, at 1:00am
GLOBAL - In order to help shrimp farmers finance a transition towards responsible shrimp production, a Farmers in Transition (FIT) Fund has been launched by the Sustainable Trade Initiative (IDH) at the European Seafood Exposition in Brussels.
Responsible production will reduce negative impacts on the environment and local communities, while complying with food safety requirements. The US-based David and Lucile Packard Foundation has indicated its interest to develop a partnership in support of the FIT Fund.
Shrimp is one of the most popular types of seafood. Approximately five million tons are consumed annually. One-third of the shrimp we eat are farmed. Shrimp production boomed in the 80s and 90s in Thailand, Indonesia, India and Viet Nam, because of growing demand from the US, Europe and Japan.
The rapid growth has generated substantial income in these countries, but at the same time generated some serious sustainability challenges such as damage to ecologically sensitive habitat (e.g. mangrove deforestation), land grabbing, water pollution, banned antibiotics residues and social issues with workers and/or communities.
Ted van der Put, programme director Aquaculture at IDH stated: "Responsible shrimp production will not only safeguard the environment and improve social performance of shrimp farmers; it will also help future proof the sector. An increasing number of retailers and food service companies formulate sustainable buying requirements. Shrimp farmers and traders that can't meet these requirements may well be out of business in a couple of years."
The FIT Fund has a co-funding capacity of four million to help farmers make the transformation towards more responsible practices. The Fund is actively reaching out to other organisations to strengthening the Fund and widening its scope.
Mr Van der Put continued: "We applaud the interest of Packard in the Fund because they bring critical assets to the table such as a wealth of experience in financing fisheries improvement programmes and a strong field-based comprehensive strategy on aquaculture. IDH feels this type of partnership will help position the FIT Fund as a key coordinating platform to drive change and impact, by enlarging the supply base of farmers and by sharing best practices to increase scale and reduce costs."
Speaking on behalf of the Packard Foundation, Lisa Monzón commented: "We are pleased to publically signal our support of the development of IDH's FIT Fund. We have been a long time sponsor of multi-sector initiatives that can produce positive outcomes for the environment. IDH brings significant experience in shaping successful public-private partnerships across a range of commodities to support producers in strengthening environmentally friendly production practices. We look forward to seeing both market and industry commitment grow for this important initiative."
Traders, processors and farmers may hand in project proposals to help farmers transition towards more responsible shrimp production. If the proposal meets the FIT Fund criteria the Fund may offer technical support and may co-finance shrimp farmers' efforts to improve performance and comply with responsible aquaculture standards such as Global Gap, GAA/BAP and ASC.

Владисла́в Ви́кторович Паламарчу́к (; 29 августа 1989, Житомирская область, СССР) — украинский футболист, центральный защитник, полузащитник.

Игровая карьера
Родился в Житомирской области, через год с родителями переехал в Шаровку Валковского района Харьковской области. Заниматься футболом начал в 2001 году в местной футбольной команде «Магарач», с которой дважды становился чемпионом города, победителем и призёром других турниров, участником международных соревнований. В 2005 году продолжил обучение в школе донецкого «Шахтёра». После завершения обучения был заявлен за «Шахтёр-3» во вторую лигу чемпионата Украины. В клубной структуре дончан закрепиться помешали травмы.

После реабилитации занялся поиском новой команды. Выбирал между «Нефтяником-Укрнефть» и ФК «Харьков». После общения с Романом Пецом принял решение стать игроком харьковской команды. В молодёжном первенстве дебютировал 3 августа 2007 года в игре против сверстников из львовских «Карпат». В конце следующего сезона стал попадать в заявку основной команды на матчи Премьер-лиги.

Дебют в высшем дивизионе состоялся 10 мая 2009 года в Донецке против «Шахтёра». На 78 минуте матча 19-летний Паламарчук вышел вместо Николая Гринченко на поле РСК «Олимпийский», на котором несколько лет назад перед матчами держал полотно.

Через две недели, 23 мая, Паламарчук в Днепропетровске против «Днепра» вышел в стартовом составе, став первым в сезоне представителем дубля харьковчан, начавшим матч Премьер-лиги с первых минут. В матче отметился на 39-й минуте ошибкой, после которой Алексей Белик вышел один на один и пробил вратаря. Позже по ходу матча после розыгрыша углового сумел вынести мяч с линии пустых ворот. Следующий матч — дерби против «Металлиста» также провёл на поле с первой до последней минуты.

Следующий сезон 2009/10 Паламарчук играл с «Харьковом» в первой лиге.

"Choose your audience wisely, for its not your performance that varies but their response is what matters!" -Ramana Pemmaraju.
And this is the fundamental truth which the social media stands on today. Whether you are promoting your career, building your business, creating a brand or simply trying to connect with the right set of people, there are some dos and don'ts while using social media. Not following these rules could label you negative or worse spammy.
On an average Indians spend around 2.3 hours a day online reports the site statista. And so you would be better off learning a few basic rules of social media etiquette.
Earlier this week, we had our weekly #Womenonthemove chat over at Twitter, and this is what we discussed. And we got to know some important social media tips. (If you're not yet following Women's Web on Twitter, do now, and you can come over for the chat too, every Thursday 6-7 pm IST).
@womensweb A1. Know the relevance of each platform & use it accordingly. Connect with relevant professionals & use it as a alternate to F2F.
@womensweb there's a fine line between self promotion and coming across as arrogant, balance is key on social media.

About Jewniverse
Best Bathroom Reading
By	Jewniverse
According to Jewish law, it's inadvisable to read holy materials, or even mention God's name, in a bathroom.
On the other hand, there's a classic rabbinical admonition never to waste a second. According to one apocryphal story, the famed 18th-century Rabbi Elijah of Vilna reconciled these competing values by writing his book of mathematical philosophy, Ail Meshulash, while on the can.
In the same vein, for the past twelve years, Time Out New York music writer Jay Ruttenberg has written and compiled a magazine, The Lowbrow Reader, that's billed as "bathroom reading for intellectuals." Highlights from quarterly magazine were recently collected in the just-released book The Lowbrow Reader Reader.
The Lowbrow Reader Reader isn't all Jewish stories, but many are, including a piece on the comedic genius of Adam Sandler, the story of an uncomfortable date with Jackie Mason ("Dinner with Jackie is like falling into an Old World Jewish fortune cookie….Imagine unspooling a Dead Sea Scroll of Yiddish-inflected commentary from the inner helix of a rugelach"), and biblical-minded cartoons by David Berman, the singer for the band Silver Jews. It's not officially a Jewish publication, but, written mainly by Jews, featuring Jews, and with a distinctly Jewish sense of humor, it might as well be.

The best way to cure a hangover is not to get one!
1:1 Have 1 glass of water with each alcoholic drink, this prevents dehydration which causes the hangover headache and slows down rate of drinking. Add lemon for bitter taste to help stimulate the liver to process the toxic by products of alcohol.
Choose wisely! Avoid sugary mixers as this causes our blood sugar and therefore the hormone "insulin" to spike which feels great for a few minutes and then reactive low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) occurs which feels awful. This also tricks our body into thinking we are hungry and hello late night poutine, pizza… and the cycle continues!
The best mixers are water or carbonated water, with a squeeze of lemon juice. NOT: tonic water, pop or juice!
Eat foods like sweet potatoes, quinoa and avocados pre-party because these complex carbohydrates and healthy fats will line the digestive track and slow down alcohol absorption.
B Vitamins Before! B vitamins are a cofactor needed to breakdown and eliminate alcohol from the body. They are a water soluble vitamin so they are further depleted due to dehydration from drinking. Take a good quality Bcomplex before a night out and again the next morning.
3-4 slices of ginger root: Ginger is an anti-emetic therefore it helps with nausea and vomiting.
1 bag of Milk Thistle Tea: Silymarin the active ingredient in milk thistle is hepatoprotective, and supports liver detoxification and metabolism of alcohol.
1-2 cups of boiling water.
3/4 cup coconut water to re-hydrate and get your electrolytes. Most popular sports drinks have a lot of sugar or artificial sweeteners and harsh chemicals and dyes that can irritate an already sensitive system.
Banana: Packed with potassium – an electrolyte lost after an night of drinking, also a good balance of glucose and fructose to re-balance blood sugar.
1-2 tbsp almond butter: protein helps to balance blood sugar and vitamin E and healthy fats support the liver.
1 inch peeled ginger root for nausea and vomiting.
1 tbsp honey: fructose helps metabolize alcohol and it's antibacterial to help balance gut bacteria.
Handful of spinach to re-alkalize the body.
D.I.Y. Hydrotherapy Home Treatment: In the shower do 1 min hot water over full body followed by 30 sec cold water over full body. Vasodilation and constriction of blood vessels outwards toward the skin and then back in towards the organs helps to promote detoxification and after 3 cycles your whole body is buzzing. Make sure you end the cycles on COLD!
Alcohol blocks absorption of B Vitamins and increases the loss of Zinc, Magnesium and Calcium. Alcohol also destroys vitamin C and other liver detoxifiers like glutathione.
By having an M.D. or N.D. administer nutrients intravenously, you can achieve far higher concentrations not possible with oral dosing because and the digestive system is bypassed preventing digestive upset.
Is "the hair of the dog" the best strategy?
No but it is somewhat valid – a lot of hangover symptoms are really just your body going through withdrawal so having some alcohol the day after a night of drinking can ease withdrawal symptoms but it also places a lot of burden on an already backed up liver and promotes alcohol dependency. NOT RECOMMENDED!
Is "beer before liquor never been sicker" true?
False! Hangovers are dependent on the total amount of alcohol consumed, although often people who mix different types of alcohol tend to drink more and therefore experience more hangover symptoms.
NO! But as it is a stimulant it can make you feel more sober than you actually are which can be very dangerous and lead to impaired driving. Also caffeine is another thing that the liver has to process when it's already dealing with last night's damage!
As a Naturopathic Doctor I always try to treat the root cause of illness which in the case of a hangover is obviously drinking! The only way to insure you don't get a hangover is not to drink alcohol, however if you decide to drink hopefully these tips help you!
Happy (day-after) St. Patrick's Day!


Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh had a sparkling wedding reception in Mumbai on Wednesday. The reception, that took place at Grand Hyatt Hotel in Mumbai, saw the new bride and the groom dressed in absolutely regal outfits from Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla. Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh were couple goals if there ever were, as they took the stage hand-in-hand during the reception. The couple were seen laughing and giggling the whole time that they were being clicked, making for some amazing photographs that have been mesmerising us since yesterday. While Deepika Padukone looked absolutely riveting and every bit of the Indian bride that she clearly likes to be, Ranveer Singh looked dapper in an outfit that was colour coordinated with that of his wife. It would be an understatement to say that the couple's sartorial sense was spell-binding.
Paparazzi and the rest of the media greeted the couple with a congratulatory bouquet. The wedding reception was the couple's second function in India, after they returned from Lake Como in Italy, after wrapping up their wedding ceremonies at a luxurious villa there. However, the wedding reception at Grand Hyatt in Mumbai didn't look any less luxurious. A look at the desserts served at the event will give you an idea about just how much thought was put into organising it. Bollywood paparazzo Viral Bhayani posted a video of all the sweet dishes that were served at Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh's Mumbai reception, and we're ruing the fact that we weren't invited.
From gajar ka halwa to delicious chocolate desserts and what looked like rasgullas or ras malais were served to the guests at the wedding reception yesterday. Ranveer Singh's hair stylist Darshan Yewalekar, who was present at both Ranveer Deepika's Italy wedding and the Wednesday reception in Mumbai, also gave us a peak into the catering services at the event. Mumbai ice-cream parlour Koldplay India was seemingly serving up delicious cold treats at Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone's wedding reception.

← Greek Rock Scene Documentary – 1988
Red Mist →
Baby steps to a new era vol. VIII
Athens wasn't the only city in Greece that moved forward the Greek underground scene.
In 1985, a fanzine saw the light of day.
It was titled "Rollin Under" and it was published by a small record store in the center of
Thessaloniki.
The name of the record store was "Rollin Under" too.
Babis Argyriou who tried his best to bring the fanzine on a high level status, initialy started
with xerox copied b/w issues written with a typewriter, that would promote the tape releases of his record store.
As "Rollin Under", the store, became also the basis of a record label named "Lazy Dog",
this fanzine was the best way to give informations about the releases of the label and even more.
This might have been the first Greek music fanzine, I am not sure about that.
I think the rest of the zines came all after that.
Issue by issue, it became an official publication with a circulation in most parts of Greece,
covering issues about the american h/c punk scene and later on, almost anything about the underground.
It stoped being active by the early 90's.
The following is a funny story:
The rumor has it that the Athenian indie record labels sent a shovel, as a gift, to the editors of "Rollin' Under"
fanzine cause they were giving very bad reviews to their releases… (A joke, meaning that "Rollin Under" was "burying" the Athenian releases …)
Anyways…
The second tentacle of the record shop, the alternative record "Lazy Dog", kept on releasing
albums for a few more years.
The label was either releasing matterial from Greek bands or was licensed to re-release
foreign bands for the Greek market.
Releases of Lazy Dog Records:
Γκούλαγκ – Είσοδος Κινδύνου (LP) 1987
Ορα Μηδέν – Μόνα Λίζα (7″) 1989
Γκούλαγκ – Στην Αυλή Των Θεαμάτων (LP, Album) 1990
Ziggy Was – Here (LP, Album) 1994
Γκούλαγκ – Η Άλλη Πλευρά (7″, Single) 1994
Middle Fingers – Middle Fingers (7″, Single) 1994
Εκτός Ελέγχου – Εκτός Ελέγχου (LP, Album) 1994
Patrik Fitzgerald Group – Pillow Tension (CD) 1995
Bokomolech – Xero (LP) 1995
Ziggy Was – Two Turns To One (Vinyl, MiniAlbum, S/S) 1995
Ροδάμα – Κάτω Απ' Το Δέρμα (LP) 1995
Raining Pleasure – Memory Comes Back (LP) 1996
Γκούλαγκ – Πάτα Γερά (LP, Album) 1996
Lost Bodies – Ζωή (CD, Album) 1997
Τα Ρόδα Της Ερήμου – Ταξίδι Σα Ψέμα (LP) 1997
Raining Pleasure -Nostalgia (LP) 1998
Πράκτορες Του Χάους – Τρανσατλάντικα (CD) 1999
Various – In Dog We Trust (CD, Comp) Deep Freeze Mice – The Saw A Ranch House Burning Last Night (LP, Ltd) 1995
The Astronauts – It's All Done By Mirrors (CD, Album) 1995
17 Pygmies – Jedda By The Sea (CD) 1995
The Astronauts – Peter Pan Hits The Suburbs (CD, Album) 1994
I also have to mention here, Costas Apostolidis, the partner of Babis Argyriou.
Apostolidis was the guitar player of the h/c punk band Goulag who were formed in 1985.
The band released their first album, "Isodos Kindinou", in 1987 and went off to tour Germany, Norway and Italy.
"Rollin Under" this tour by an extensive article tha you can read here (its in Greek).
part1, part2, part3, part4 and part5.
The German label, Wreck Age Records, released their single "Big Talk" in 1989 right before their second European tour.
The tour covered Yugoslavia, Austria, Germany, Holland, Belgium and Italy.
In 1990 they released their second album, "Stin Avli ton Theamaton" and during December the made a mini tour in Germany.
By the same year, one more 7″ was released through the German label Weed Productions as a compilation
titled "16 guys against the rest of the world vol. 1" featuring also bands from USA, Germany and Switzerland.
On February 1994 they released the 7″ single "I alli plevra" and during 1995 they were featured in the German
compilation "Lacmayer's Island".
In 1996, Lazy Dog released their album "Pata Gera" finding the group with a different line up and more heavy metal elements.
For more about the band press here .
During the early 2000, Lazy Dog stoped releasing albums too, so only the record store is still there today.
As it is obvious, this record shop became the main center of the underground scene in the city of Thessaloniki, helping
the bands release their music and also passing around news about the underground.
Some of the bands would be signed later to major labels, such as, The Lost Bodies and Raining Pleasure from the city of Athens and Patras respectively.
"Rollin' Under", the fanzine transformed into MIC and can be found today here .

Wildlife enthusiast Rachel Bell has been awarded a wildlife book after winning a prize draw.
Users of the bird hide at Derwent Reservoir were asked to complete a questionnaire to gauge public opinion on existing facilities at the reservoir. As well as a great response to this query, there were also some excellent suggestions for other improvements that could be made to enhance the wildlife experience.
The questionnaire was compiled by 6th form student Isabel Page as part of her week's work placement with Durham Wildlife Trust and the completed form by Rachel Bell, from Consett, was drawn at random. Stuart Pudney, Conservation and Land Manager for Northumbrian Water, presented her with the prize, Birds of County Durham, an important and comprehensive guide to all known breeding birds in the County.

High-energy showman Wayne Toups has long been dubbed "The Cajun Springsteen," but now you can add the title "Grammy Award Winner" to his name. Wayne was honored with his first Grammy Award. His CD The Band Courtbouillon announced as Best Regional Roots Music Album at the prestigious ceremony.
"It was my first nomination and my first win," adds the Louisiana music maker with a grin. "I'm batting 1,000." The Grammy Award caps a wave of recent career highs for Wayne Toups. In 2009, he earned an Album-of-the-Year award from Offbeat magazine. In 2010, he was inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame. In 2011, he entered both the Gulf Coast Hall of Fame and the Cajun French Music Hall of Fame. He is also a member of the Louisiana Blues Hall of Fame.
This year will also mark his continued activism in the Coastal Vision Foundation, the organization dedicated to restoring America's eroding ocean coastlines.
"We are losing 2,400 acres a year in Louisiana, alone," says Toups. "And it's not just the Gulf Coast. Look what our eroded coastline resulted in when Hurricane Sandy hit New Jersey and New York. We'll be doing several fund-raisers for the organization this year."
Wayne Toups picked up the accordion at age 13 and hasn't put it down since. He mixes Cajun sounds with the rhythms of zydeco, adding elements of soul music and Southern rock. He calls the revved-up result "ZyDecajun," and his electrifying group, "a Cajun fusion band with a rock 'n' roll attitude."


Nothing you try lately to have a lasting relationship seems to work. You feel lost and you begin to lose hope in yourself.
The problem is that you always try to find the defects in others, instead of analyzing what you are doing wrong. It's clear that being so strict with others is not giving you results. So, learn to understand that difference is often what makes you want to know others.
Take some time to improve and enhance your best qualities. Soon someone will appear in your life who you can put your new skills into practice with.
Also, today will be an especially tense day in your relationship with your closest friends. Check your attitude in recent days, especially as regards the haughtiness with which you say things. Try to relax more when you are with your friends, and don't pretend to be always right in everything. Your arrogance is taking them away from you.
A person near you is having a really bad time, and you don't even notice, Virgo.
It's likely that that person doesn't want to turn to you, but it's obvious that they need help from someone close and urgent. If so, try to worry about the people closest to you, ask and try to find out who is in need of you.
Or maybe that person comes directly to you. That someone asks us for money is always something uncomfortable, and can generate some other internal conflict.
Act normally and coldly analyze the situation. If you can afford that help, do it without hesitation. If not, give only as much as you can give, and actively help that person to get out of that situation with psychological support and advice.
Sometimes money doesn't solve everything.
You are in an exceptional situation to explore alternative medicine.
It often happens that people tend to resort to alternative medicine out of desperation, when we find ourselves in a serious situation that traditional medicine can't solve.
However, now that your body is healthy and you feel so good about yourself you can start learning in a new world that can bring you improvement in many aspects. A Virgo with so much desire to know and explore, for sure will make the most of that opportunity.
Don't stay in the practical part! Get some books where you can learn the history, concepts and techniques of such interesting techniques.

On Wednesday, March the 20th, students from the EAL, Swedish, Spanish, and French language classes celebrated the language, traditions, and cultures. It was an excellent opportunity to practice their language, share knowledge and learn something new about other cultures. The evening was marked with festivities, presentations, and performances.
Students from grades 6 to 8 participated in the language fair and represented a myriad of different cultures. The grade 7 students welcomed the parents and visitors to the language fair before they headed to one of the many rooms showcasing the variety of languages and cultures.
All the languages had rooms allocated, each with its own distinctive charm. One particular room was arranged to resemble a traditional Spanish restaurant, with checkered table sheets and chairs.
After a viewing of a video, the grade 8 students had made, the language fair began in earnest. Following short performances by the students, parents and visitors could walk about the different rooms, asking students questions, sampling food, and enjoying the sights and sounds. With many different rooms prepared and 2 floors to explore, the annexe bustled with activity and people.
There were two performance slots that showcased the languages taught at SIS. In one of the Spanish rooms, the students enacted what it would be like to order food at a Spanish restaurant. French students entertained audiences with dramatic plays. Swedish students in one room took the audience on an apartment viewing and performed a murder mystery. EAL students presented foods from their own cultures in both English and their mother tongues.
All in all, the language fair brought together languages and cultures and was interesting and thoroughly informative. The SIS community should be proud of the language students, as they displayed a mastery of language and an understanding of culture.
