Sweet Carolina Cupcakes in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

We post about so many cupcakes and cupcake bakeries that where I used to be able to call them up in my head, I can no longer do that. So I just rediscovered Hilton Head Island, South Carolina cupcake bakery Sweet Carolina Cupcakes via their Twitter account . I should’ve known about them because we’ve posted about them and they’ve posted some of their Flickr photos in our cupcake photo pool and we do have them listed in our bakery listings, but I’m happy to have (re)discovered them now

Drawer Hardware, Or No Drawer Hardware? That Is The Question. (And Your Input Is Appreciated!)

Happy New Year to you!! I hope this new year is off to a good start for you. I’ve been taking full advantage of my long holiday weekend by getting some projects finished around the TLC. I had an incredibly proud moment Thursday, when I installed my garbage disposal and rerouted the plumbing under the sink (from my old two-basin sink to the current single-basin sink), and I did it all by myself

Jennifer Lopez’ New Year’s Outfit

Jennifer Lopez showed up in a shimmering body suit to the Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve in Times Square for News Year’s Eve on Thursday night December 31, 2009. I love her new single “Louboutins,” and I love Jennifer Lopez, but I’m not sure the catsuit was very flattering on JLO’s voluptuous figure. Where is Lady Gaga when we need her?

Wrong Beginnings

“An only life”, said Philip Larkin, “can take so long to climb clear of its wrong beginnings, and may never.” Few have a worse beginning than the 50,000 children in care in Britain. All of them have suffered the disruption of losing their natural parents, many of them within traumatic memory. A difficult start in life often leads to poor behaviour and low attainment in education.

Our universities face a radical upheaval

It’s good, if you’re a university administrator, to keep a cool head when the word “hotbed” is being thrown at you. One admires that unnamed UCL official who dryly commented that if Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab had come to the UK intending to blow up planes, he would surely have done chemistry rather than mechanical engineering. The sad state of the failed bomber’s death-to-the-infidel underpants seems to bear that out.

Profiling, not scanning, will stop potential plane bombers

Mercy can’t exist if distress has been abolished

This January I resolve to keep reminding myself that the Labour Party matters less with every passing week. The only and increasingly interesting political question is what the present Opposition will do with the working majority the voters will soon, surely, be handing it.
