Whether facing down burglars and easyJet staff or befriending waiters and taxi drivers, unearthing secrets in Budapest, getting arrested in Thailand, exulting in Venetian art or mingling with the Milan Mafia, in Just Me Sheila is a woman seizing the future with wit, gusto and curiosity.

Masters and Commanders describes how four titanic figures shaped the grand strategy of the West during the Second World War. The book explores how the key riddles of the Second World War turned on the personalities and relationships of two political masters – Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt – and the military commanders of their armed forces. Renowned biographer Andrew Roberts draws upon the private papers of nearly seventy contemporaries and verbatim accounts of Churchill’s War Cabinet meetings. The result is a strikingly intimate and enjoyable account. Book Sale

One Laptop Per Child XO Laptop
One Laptop per Child (OLPC) was founded in 2005 by MIT professor Nicholas Negroponte. We have a simple mission: to create educational opportunities for the world's porrest children by providing each and every one with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop with software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning.
What is the XO Laptop?
The XO is a potent learning tool designed and built especially for children in developing countries, living in some of the most remote environments. As such, it has several features you won't find on any other laptop.
For starters, it's about the size of a small textbook and made with a rugged plastic exterior. It has built-in wireless and a unique screen that works in full colour or black and white to make it readable under direct sunlight for children who go to school outdoors. And finally, its power consumption is very low, the XO uses only about 4 watts of power, while most laptops use about 40 watts. This means that when there's no electricity, it can be recharged with alternate power sources like solar power. Buy a Laptop - Give a Laptop

M*A*S*H - Martinis and Medicine Complete Collection
M*A*S*H - Martinis and Medicine Complete Collection, is a stunning 36-disc collection. It contains all 11 seasons of this multi-Emmy Award-winning series, PLUS Robert Altman's 1970 iconoclastic anti-war classic, PLUS two discs of special features, including two reunion specials and a series retrospective episode of A&E's Biography. As with the individual season sets, there are no new episode commentaries, a major disappointment. But M*A*S*H-ophiles will enjoy this set's other bonus features, including emotional behind-the-scenes footage of the filming of the last half-hour episode, "As Time Goes By," the inevitable bloopers, interviews with cast members as well as fans about their favorite episodes, a segment about the series' "Jocularity," a parade of PSAs (cut down on salt to avoid heart disease), and the text of an unproduced script penned by Alda for an episode titled, "Hawkeye on the Double." All of this material (except for a commemorative booklet) is available elsewhere in different configurations, but this space-saving (albeit ungainly packaged) box set collects them all under one tent.
Adapted for television by legendary comedy writer Larry Gelbart, the series has long since supplanted Altman's film in the public's consciousness. Life and death at a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital during the Korean War doesn't seem like ripe fodder for a comedy series, but M*A*S*H masterfully balanced laughter and tears (less so in its later, more preachy seasons). It often does play better without a laugh track (a viewing option for all episodes). During its run, M*A*S*H survived several delicate operations, including the departure of Gelbart after season 4 and the loss of core ensemble members McLean Stevenson as Col. Henry Blake and Wayne Rogers as Trapper John (after season 3), Larry Linville as Frank Burns (after season 5) and Gary Burghoff (a veteran of the original film) as Radar (after season 8). The show thrived with the introduction of some new blood, Henry Morgan as "regular Army" Col. Potter and Mike Farrell as compassionate BJ (season 4) and David Ogden Stiers as elitist Charles Emerson Winchester III (season 6).

Eco Kettle - the best selling Eco Gadget
Save energy and money with Eco Kettle - the best selling eco gadget, at the lowest available price from Ethicalsuperstore.com. Until now, accurately measuring the amount of water to be boiled in your kettle has been all but impossible. The result? It is estimated that, on average, we boil twice the volume of water needed every time. Which means twice as much energy, twice as much time. With a 3kW kettle that's the same as wasting the energy of around 50 light bulbs!
The Eco Kettle is different: its internal reservoir holds a full capacity of water ready for use, while the measuring button allows any quantity – from a single cupful to full capacity – to be released into the separate chamber for boiling.
The result? Exactly the right amount of water every time you boil – and no more waste.

Military-Grade Technology Protects iPods
InvisibleSHIELD is an ultra-thin, ultra-tough transparent film that uses cutting-edge, patent-pending technology originally developed to protect military helicopter blades from wind, sand, and the wear and tear of high speed travel.
And now creators Zagg have taken this technology and adapted it to protect your iPod, phone, or digital camera, GPS systems, laptops, gaming consoles, PDAs and media players. With more 2000 precision cut designs, there is an invisibleSHIELD available for almost every handheld electronic device on the market, claims Zagg.
Australian agent's Deep Blue product manager Paul Branagan says this technology is designed to protect and preserve the sleek design and ‘glossiness' of modern gadgets. "Before invisibleSHIELD there were only two choices; a sexy new gadget hidden away in a bulky case or a sexy new gadget covered with scratches," claims Branagan. However with this new technology, gadget enthusiasts will be able to show off their new toys, without fear of damage. In fact, Zagg is so confident in the quality of this product that a lifetime warranty is being offered; if invisibleSHIELD is ever scratched or damaged, the film will be replaced for free."

Prepare for Christmas
Stay Ahead of the Rush with our Christmas Check Lists with Festive Offers to Feast Your Eyes On.
Xmas Tip: Popular Christmas gifts have the advantage of being well-received. Your gift recipients will likely appreciate anything that you give them, but popular Christmas gifts often elicit a very excited response. Popular Christmas gifts are a good choice if you have to buy a Christmas gift for someone you don't know very well. Perhaps, your boyfriend persuades you to shop for his Aunty Jane, who you've never even met. That is a good time to rely on popular Christmas gifts because they appeal to so many people.
Social networking sites "good for businesses"
Good news for workers addicted to Facebook, Bebo and MySpace - a British think-tank says bosses should not stop their staff using social networking sites because they could actually benefit their firms.
The report by Demos said encouraging employees to use networking technologies to build relationships and closer links with colleagues and customers could help businesses rather than damage them. It concluded that trying to control the use of sites such as Facebook, which alone boasts more than 100 million users worldwide, could even harm organizations.

Top 5 Foods to Eat to get Slim
1.Fish
Most fish have low fat and high amounts of protein. There are some fish however, with high amounts of fat such as salmon, trout, herring, mackerel, and sardines. Although due to the fact that these fish are so high in Omega 3 fatty acids, these can and should be eaten liberally. You should have your fished baked, grilled, or boiled. Be sure to avoid fatty and high calorie extras such as sauces and butter.
2.Green vegetables
This could be broccoli, green beans, lettuce, asparagus, etc. Fibrous carbs are your best bet to get fat burning carbohydrates. These green vegetables barely contain any calories! You can never have enough of these fibrous carbs… eat them liberally, and have them anytime of the day. Having a diet consist of green vegetables along with lean proteins is one of the best ways to burn fat as fast as possible.
3.100% Whole Wheat and Whole Grain products
Your main diet can include a wide variety of bread products, provided that they follow one important rule: They must be 100% whole grains.
4.Nonfat Dairy Products
Milk, yogurt, cheese, and cottage cheese. Whole milk dairy products should not be included in your diet, because they contain loads of fat.
Dairy products are good because they can accomplish two important aspects of weight loss and muscle gain: the need for carbohydrates and proteins. Because dairy products tend to have high quality protein, a dairy product with high amounts of protein can be substituted for other protein foods. For example, you can eat non-fat cottage cheese as a protein substitute instead of eating lean meat. Non-fat cheese can also be used to increase the amount of protein in your meal.
5.Brown Rice
Brown rice is perfect all year round, as long as you watch your calorie intake. This means not eating fried rice or other rice dishes with lots of extra fat and calories. Eating steamed or boiled rice is the best way to go.
Of the different types of rice, slowly cooked brown rice and basmati rice are excellent choices. Instant rice is okay if you’re low on time, but instant rice is digested quickly and is processed similarly to a simple carbohydrate. Diet & Nutrition help

Water Filters - The safest way to drink water
Water is a vital part to nutrition, but knowing just how much water to drink to maintain a healthy lifestyle is often difficult. The truth is, there is no hard and fast rule governing how much water an individual should drink. The specific amount depends upon a number of factors, including your age, gender, level of activity, and even your environment. While the 'eight cups a day' long recommended by doctors may hold true for some people, it is far better to look at your own individual lifestyle factors to determine the appropriate amount of water for you.
Water filters currently provide the best and healthiest solution to the problems of both bottled water and tap water. Water filters remove more dangerous contaminants than any other purification method, and they are uniquely designed to work with municipally treated water. Also, drinking filtered water is a much more economical practice than drinking bottled water. The pure water product of a water filter costs very little more than untreated tap water. Furthermore, because water filters use no more energy than is already required to propel water through a home's plumbing system, they circumvent several of the environmental problems of the bottled water industry.

Cheer Up - Exercise for Stress
Have you ever noticed how much older you look when you are stressed-out?
Taking care of yourself physically, exercising, and learning a deep relaxation technique can actually make you appear and feel younger and more youthful.
When you are worried and/or stressed, extra demands are placed on your body. This increases your need for good nutrition and sleep. Many scientists believe adequate sleep and good nutrition even combat the negative effects stress can have. Another potent weapon against stress and its aging effect is exercise. A regular program of aerobic exercises will:
* Increase energy levels
* Make you feel younger, more youthful.
* Improve self-esteem
* Clear your mind
* Make you appear more youthful
* Relax tensed muscles, including facial muscles where tension is aging, thus making you look younger.
Deep relaxation makes you feel calm and refreshed. It is difficult to feel stress when your body is relaxed. In a mere 20 minutes per day, you can trade tension for relaxation and look and feel younger in the process. Better than any anti-aging pill.
Exercise is mood-altering without a prescription, exercising with music is even better.
Give it a try. Play that music and get exercising for at least five minutes. It is an over-the-counter way to improve your mental outlook and your physical self. Extend that exercise until you are up to at least 30 minutes. Or try walking briskly in the park with a headset tuned to music. You'll come home relaxed and feeling sensational from the music and the outdoors.

Make your skin glow with RoC skincare
Yesterday I picked up a little tube of ROC retin-ox anti wrinkle moisturiser that my grandma had left in my house when she visited last week. I am very sceptical when it comes to wonder creams and such like, but I felt positive so I thought I would give it a go and see what happens. I applied a little bit of it over my face and neck, just before bedtime.
Well, today I awoke and went straight to the mirror. My skin was firmer, my wrinkles vastly reduced, and I felt more confident. Suprise, suprise... I certainly was!
Believe me I don't work for RoC Skincare, but I highly recommed them, and I will be looking at their other products soon. Try it yourself - it actually works. Well they do say, they keep their promises!
So I have set up a little RoC shop in association with Amazon.co.uk. If you would like to look at some of their bestsellers, click on the RoC Skincare shop.

M*A*S*H The 4077th

The World's Oldest Jokes
The world's oldest recorded joke has been traced back to 1900 BC and suggests that toilet humor was as popular with the ancients as it is today. It is a saying of the Sumerians, who lived in what is now southern Iraq and goes: 'Something which has never occurred since time immemorial, a young woman did not fart in her husband's lap.'
It heads the world's oldest top 10 joke list published by the University of Wolverhampton on today. A 1600 BC gag about a pharaoh, said to be King Snofru, comes second - 'How do you entertain a bored pharaoh? You sail a boatload of young women dressed only in fishing nets down the Nile and urge the pharaoh to go catch a fish.'
The oldest British joke dates back to the 10th Century and reveals the bawdy face of the Anglo-Saxons - 'What hangs at a man's thigh and wants to poke the hole that it's often poked before? Answer: A key.'
The study was commissioned by television channel Dave. The top 10 oldest jokes can be viewed at www.dave-tv.co.uk.

Tired? Headache? More Water Could Be the Answer
Did you know that frequent headaches and fatigue are among the most common signs of dehydration? 50-75% of Americans are dehydrated. Many of us don't even realise that we suffer from dehydration because a lot of the symptoms (headache, fatigue, dizziness, muscle weakness) could be attributed to other causes.
Water makes up 60% of our total body weight and is crucial to every body system. Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to carry on normal functions. Even mild dehydration can sap your energy and make you feel tired.
How much water do you need? The answer to this varies from person to person. Every day you lose water through sweating, exhaling, urinating and bowel movements. For your body to function properly, you need to replace the lost water by consuming beverages and foods that contain water.
It is wise to make water drinking a part of your normal routine. Drink a glass of water with each meal and between each meal, take water breaks instead of coffee or tea breaks, and substitute sparkling water or fruit juices for alcoholic drinks at social gatherings.
Your Body's Many Cries for Water: A Revolutionary Natural Way to Prevent Illness and Restore Good Health, is a great book that tells us why we really need water and how it prevents lots of illnesses. Contains some good natural tips for better health.

Up to 50% off selected books on China and the Olympics
With this year's Olympic Games in China fast approaching, we have put together a selection of books on or set in China, covering a variety of topics from food to travel, history to fiction and the Olympic Games. Browse below and save ££s today!
The 2008 Beijing Olympics take place in August. John Goodbody, for many years chief sports writer for The Times, has covered every Olympics since 1964. In this entertaining and informative account, A History of the Olympics, he tells the main stories of each of the modern Olympics. Here are some of the heroes and heroines who have made sporting history, as well as the main disasters and scandals that attend the world's greatest sporting event.
What does China think? is an invigorating book about the debates raging within China. We all know about the fast pace of change in this country. This book brings us the ideas being fought over in the country itself, from democracy to the idea of a 'peaceful rise'. It challenges all of our assumptions about China. We know everything and nothing about China. We know that China is changing so fast that the maps in Shanghai need to be rewritten every two weeks. We know that China has brought 300 million people from agricultural backwardness into modernity in just 30 years (something that took 200 years in Europe). China's voracious appetite for resources is gobbling up 40% of the world's cement., 40% of its coal, 30% of its steel, and 12% of its energy. It has become so integrated into the global economy that its prospects have immediate effects on our everyday lives: simultaneously doubling the cost of the London Olympics while halving the cost of our computers; keeping the US economy afloat but sinking the Italian footwear industry. We have an image of China as a dictatorship; a nationalist empire that threatens its neighbours and global peace. But how many people know about the debates raging within China?

Stars pay tribute to Mandela ahead of 90th birthday
Stars of the screen, stage and sporting arena paid tribute today to Nelson Mandela, whose visit to London UK, has been overshadowed by events in Zimbabwe where disputed elections have just ended.
Hollywood actor Will Smith hosted the birthday celebration in front of Mandela, who turns 90 next month, and nearly 50,000 fans in London's Hyde Park.
Smith was followed on stage by Formula One racer Lewis Hamilton and pop acts Leona Lewis, Annie Lennox, Razorlight and some of Africa's biggest singers, while Simple Minds and Amy Winehouse were among those still expected to perform.
The event was organised to support Mandela's HIV/AIDS charity "46664", named after his prison number, and comes 20 years after the city hosted another concert for the statesman when he was still behind bars for his stand against apartheid.
"Twenty years ago, London hosted a historic concert which called for our freedom," a frail-looking Mandela told the cheering crowd after they had sung him Happy Birthday.
"Your voices carried across the water and inspired us in our prison cells far away. As we celebrate, let us remind ourselves that our work is far from complete. Where there is poverty and sickness, including AIDS, where human beings are being oppressed, there is more work to be done. Our work is for freedom for all ... We say tonight, after nearly 90 years of life, it is time for new hands to lift the burdens. It is in your hands now, I thank you."
The tribute to Mandela coincides with disputed elections in Zimbabwe, and during his trip to Britain Mandela was urged to speak out against President Robert Mugabe who pushed ahead with the vote despite international outcry.
During his visit, Mandela uttered just four words of criticism of Zimbabwe in a speech at a dinner "tragic failure of leadership" and they were enough to make headline news.
Mandela, South Africa's first black president, officially retired from politics nine years ago, but he is still a moral authority admired the world over. People in the crowd appeared to be at the gig more to honour Mandela than to hear the music.
"I'm here because of the man," said Clive Jones, a 31-year-old theatre technician. "I feel he's done so much for the world, especially with what was happening in South Africa. He is also humble and kind."
Emmanuel Jal, a Sudanese hip-hop artist based in London who is singing on Friday, said Mandela was "unique" among African leaders. "He did not love power so much, and left it and gave it to someone else," he told Reuters.
Jerry Dammers, who helped organise the 1988 concert and whose song "Free Nelson Mandela" became an anthem for the anti-apartheid movement in Britain in the 1980s, will also take the stage.

Amy Winehouse A Troubled Life
Soul singer Amy Winehouse has struggled with drug and alcohol addiction for many years. As well as her self-destructive behaviour, she has become regular tabloid news since 2007. Now she has developed the lung condition emphysema and has been warned by doctors that she will die if she continues smoking drugs.
Amazon Review:
Amy Winehouse's second album, Back to Black, is one of the finest soul albums, British or otherwise, to come out for years. Frank, her first album, was a sparse and stripped-down affair; Back to Black, meanwhile, is neither of these things. This time around, she's taken her inspiration from some of the classic 1960's girl groups like the Supremes and the Shangri-Las, a sound particularly suited to her textured vocal delivery, while adding a contemporary songwriting sensibility. With the help of producers Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, "Rehab" becomes a gospel-tinged stomp, while the title track (and album highlight) is a heartbreaking musical tribute to Phil Spector, with it's echoey bass drum, rhythmic piano, chimes, saxophone and close harmonies. Best of all, though, is the fact that Back to Black bucks the current trend in R&B by being unabashedly grown-up in both style and content. Winehouse's lyrics deal with relationships from a grown-up perspective, and are honest, direct and, often, complicated: on "You Know I'm No Good", she's unapologetic about her unfaithfulness. But she can also be witty, as on "Me & Mrs Jones" when she berates a boyfriend with "You made me miss the Slick Rick gig". Back to Black is a refreshingly mature soul album, the best of its kind for years.

With his unique style, energy and enthusiasm, Gordon shows readers how to prepare an extensive array of dishes that not only taste great but are packed with fresh, nutritious ingredients cooked in a healthy way. Healthy Appetite takes its inspiration from the latest series of the hit television show The F Word.
Gordon Ramsay, marathon runner and keen advocate of a varied but balanced diet, presents 100 recipes which will help contribute towards an overall healthy lifestyle. Gordon rejects the idea that healthy food should be dull and monotonous and instead demonstrates recipes which are both delicious and easy to prepare.
With photography by Lisa Barber, Healthy Appetite contains a variety of dishes divided into seven chapters ranging from Breakfasts to Working lunches, Kids food and Entertaining. Novice and more experienced cooks alike will be able to create recipes such as Mango and Smoked Chicken Salad, Griddle Squid with Roasted Peppers and Wild Mushroom Risotto with Baked Courgettes.
The book offers recipes tailored to meet a hectic, modern lifestyle and demonstrates how easy it is to maintain a healthy, balanced and interesting diet on a daily basis.
The Prisoner
Do you remember The Prisoner? Did you know what it was all about, or is it still a mystery? You can now revisit this cult classic from start to finish and find out the real truth. The Prisoner shop is here... calling No.6, come in No.6!!!
The Prisoner is an allegorical UK 1960s science fiction television series starring and co-created by Patrick McGoohan. It follows a former British secret agent who, after abruptly resigning from his position, is held captive in a small village by the sea by an unidentified power which wishes to establish the reason for his resignation. Episodes typically feature the unnamed prisoner, labelled Number Six by his captors, unsuccessfully attempting to escape from the Village, but successfully resisting interrogation and attempts of brainwashing.
The show was created by McGoohan and George Markstein, with exteriors filmed primarily on location at the Hotel Portmeirion in Penrhyndeudraeth, North Wales. Seventeen episodes were produced. The first was originally broadcast in London on 1 October 1967 and the last aired on 4 February 1968. The world broadcast premiere was on the CTV Television Network in Canada on September 5, 1967.

Keep your Lap and Laptop cool
Have you noticed how hot your laptop gets on your lap? After prolonged use the heat can be very uncomfortable and it can also damage the laptop. Overheating is a major cause of laptop failure. So I searched for a solution and found the ALLSOP Cool Channel Notebook Platform. This handy little thing weighs practically nothing and is very comfortable on my lap, is well made and appears that it would last for a long time without wearing out. The lip is perfect for holding the laptop in place, there is no sliding and you can tilt the laptop forwards or backwards.
So now, while my laptop is running, it no longer becomes hot - this product which feels rigid and is covered in mesh-y cloth allows my laptop to vent so that the bottom no longer gets hot and even the air coming out feels much cooler. I can use it on my lap or on a desk and I know my laptop is secure and cool. It also helps my posture, no longer do I have to bend down to view the screen, I can now place it at eye level. I highly recommend the Cool Channel Notebook Platform.

Cushioned heat shield to protect your lap from heat.

Allows for easy toting of laptop.
