PJ, a personal trainer in Brunswick has decided to stack on 40kg (on his current 80kg) and maintain that weight for 3 months, then lose it through diet and exercise at the gym with his clients, so that he can understand what they are going through. Interesting idea.

Another slice of stupid
Look, even in these tough economics times we can still find the time to be contemptuous of women and their frivolous pursuits
A women’s safe house in Ngukurr and feelings of inadequacy
It looks like a move towards safety for women and children in NT…But while domestic violence is increasing, its refuges for women and children receive about one-third of the average funding for other similar services in NSW, the Orana Far West Women’s Safe Houses Project report says….So, particularly with regard to violence, the intervention and safe houses, what am I missing here and what would you like to add?
The pain of it all
I hatesssss it when humongous core dump files start appearing in clients’ domain root directories.
That is why I don’t currently have time to blog.
So, if you’ve always thought about submitting a guest post but have held back, please (please!) go for it!
The Feminist Web
Ever wanted to visualise the feminist blogging Anglosphere with an interactive map and a US-centric focus? Here’s your chance: The Feminist Web, from linkfluence and Fem2pt0. You’ll need the username/password fem2pt0/linkfluence.
It’s a small sample size…
… but really, Gro-Shu?
I never thought I’d say this
but in some ways we Aussies are fortunate in our public opiners, despite the regularly boggling bloviations of Bolt, Blair, Devine, Albrechtsen et al: at least
T-Shirt Hell going. At last.
Richie talks about the flounce demise of T-Shirt Hell here – “Jonathan Swift is not amused” – and highlights some of the more violent, hateful, racist, sexist, homophobic designs. To add extra sprinkles to his tantrum, the owner offers a final hyuck-hyuck about his next venture perhaps being a “hooker farm”. OMG HYLARIOUS SEX SLAVERY.
Sunday Gardening: Strawberry flowers, rockmelons, butternuts, and native shrubs
An update on our vegetable garden.
The citrus are coming along very nicely, and the pineapple gauva trees seem to have put down their feet. We ended up with a total harvest of around 35 kg of tomatoes before mowing the summer-fried vines under. As well as eating mountains of insalata caprese and fresh salsas and tomato sandwiches, and giving bags of tomatoes away, we’ve frozen large batches for adding to spaghetti sauces and curries, and have jars of tomato relish/chutney stocking the pantry.
Two little slices of stupid
WA Today: “Marketers cash in on Obama girls”
But what will the first mum make of the next wave of lookalikes: child models who are being recruited throughout America because they look like Sasha and Malia?
