I have been following Katrina’s Blog (<a href="http://www.katrinaleechambers.com/">http://www.katrinaleechambers.com/</a>) for over a year and she has a personality on the show, which I love…..<br /><br />How about that singing in the first challenge, not to mention the “what is I wa” line from the song Pump Up The Jam LOL I was in stitches… </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br />Anyone that read my <a href="http://jazzandbrett.blogspot.com/search/label/The%20Block%202010">blog last year</a> would know I am not a Chez fan….

Judgment CallsWith all the public holidays I have been going through books very quickly!<br /><br />I ordered some Alafair Burke books after stumbling onto her when I read City of Lies.<br /><br />This was a good book. Smart twists & turns. <br /><br />I love the way the main females characters in het books are strong females!<br /><br />I think if your into Law & Order you will like this book!<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/05/03/400.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/05/03/s_400.jpg' border='0' width='187' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Deputy District Attorney Samantha Kincaid walks into her office in Portland's Drug and Vice Division one Monday morning to find the sergeant of the police bureau's vice unit waiting for her. A thirteen-year-old girl has been brutally attacked and left for dead on the city's outskirts. Given the lack of evidence, most lawyers would settle for an assault charge; Samantha, unnerved by the viciousness of the crime, decides to go for attempted murder. But as she prepares for the trial, she uncovers a dangerous trail leading to a high-profile death penalty case, a prostitution ring of underage girls, and a possible serial killer. And she finds her judgment -- not only in matters of the law but in her personal life -- called into question.<br /><br />In Samantha Kincaid, Alafair Burke has created a complex, appealing character -- a woman consumed by a sense of justice, who is also tough enough to take on a man's world. Seamlessly juxtaposing courtroom scenes with those of criminal investigation, Judgment Calls reveals not only an insider's knowledge of the criminal justice system but a fresh new voice in the world of crime writing.<br /><br />- Posted by Jazz's iPhone<br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16540112680863317840noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2433041860915913327.post-5417024911294066302011-04-29T16:45:00.004+10:002011-04-29T16:52:43.270+10:00Royal Wedding<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Well today is the day Wills and Kate tie the knot!<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Will you be watching?</span><br /><br /><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 288px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600893789835147026" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzNYvYWBMeev94SFp9EdSyKqGXdily-J5b1QXpW0fu55RRoIPWRjq_dUSlaLT8XP0PpJiCkOLspWx4nOyCJNLh3OM2dBADlshRy8EcqNALFoy-ZfJRJgUrV-GArIwZUtHJgdoOcI9uVosA/s320/Harry.jpg" /></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16540112680863317840noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2433041860915913327.post-56885213664015526232011-04-29T07:05:00.002+10:002011-04-29T07:05:00.405+10:00Asparagus and Chicken Casserole<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlQckFSB-hHS-CSgiWR-rf3E9yf2_8oqsWJ8GsjjgYg6oyDAi6h6wTjRRGT75oNAeEUpJrqlhtt34EvrMlGC5ldP1Kv2004PQlsvxFzU2mPD2chkrRUJ3PZKvcrkeDsGZbcLJbP5AGPrg3/s1600/Matthew_Hayden_chicken_casserole.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlQckFSB-hHS-CSgiWR-rf3E9yf2_8oqsWJ8GsjjgYg6oyDAi6h6wTjRRGT75oNAeEUpJrqlhtt34EvrMlGC5ldP1Kv2004PQlsvxFzU2mPD2chkrRUJ3PZKvcrkeDsGZbcLJbP5AGPrg3/s320/Matthew_Hayden_chicken_casserole.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598340225714480114" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" >Wanted to share this quick and easy recipe I saw last year on Matthew Hayden’s Home Ground (Lifestyle Channel).</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br />This quick, easy dinner recipe from Matthew’s wife Kellie will be a winner with the whole family.

She and her new husband, Luke Brandon, have been on a whirlwind ten-month honeymoon that's taken them all around the world, but both are itching to get back to London. When they do return, Becky is disturbed to discover that her best friend has a new good buddy, and Becky's parents are acting strangely. It turns out that they've just learned that her dad fathered a child a few years before he met her mother. Becky is thrilled to learn she has a half-sister, until she meets Jess. Jess is nothing like Becky: her clothes aren't fashionable, she prefers dank caves to shoe stores, and she is incredibly frugal. After an awkward weekend together, the sisters part company on bad terms. To make matters worse, Becky's gotten herself into a pickle with a purchase that could put a strain on her marriage. Like the previous installments, <i>Shopaholic & Sister</i> is hilarious fun for Prada and Gucci aficionados. <i>Kristine Huntley</i><br /><i>Copyright © American Library Association.

Ooohhhh scary (usually I listen while I am driving)! </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Worth a look! </span><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/04/11/2514.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/04/11/s_2514.jpg' border='0' width='187' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The new fast-paced thriller from rising star Alafair Burke, where no-one in Manhattan is safe. And no-one is innocent. In New York City nights are dangerous. Days are numbered. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">When New York University student Megan Gunther is murdered in a vicious attack after receiving threats posted on a campus website, NYPD Detective Ellie Hatcher is convinced there is a link. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">With straight-talking partner J. J. Rogan at her side, Ellie tries to identify Megan's enemies, but she begins to wonder if the girl's murder was more than just the culmination of a cyber obsession. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Then phone records reveal a link between Megan and a murdered real-estate agent who was living a dangerous double life. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Even more suspiciously, the detectives also learn that the dead real-estate agent shared a secret connection to a celebrity mogul whose bodyguard was mysteriously killed a few months earlier. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">And when Megan's roommate suddenly disappears, they know they have to find her before it's too late. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">With fans including everyone from Michael Connelly, Harlan Coben, and Lee Child to Tess Gerritsen, Lisa Gardner and Kathy Reichs, Alafair Burke gives us another nail-biting thriller to keep us on the edge of our seats. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><div align="left"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">- Posted by Jazz's iPhone</span></div><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16540112680863317840noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2433041860915913327.post-82386873364681101582011-04-10T06:11:00.001+10:002011-04-10T06:12:06.769+10:00Sunday MorningLove reading (catching up on all my blog reading) in the early morning by Chandelier light!<br /><br />How awesome does it look!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/04/09/2719.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/04/09/s_2719.jpg' border='0' width='400' height='400' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br />- Posted by Jazz's iPhone<br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16540112680863317840noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2433041860915913327.post-28167489356887199882011-04-08T07:00:00.001+10:002011-04-08T07:00:01.776+10:00ClimateSmart<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz0-zu2R02AXk4OIzE1G7WjyEOz_KNOleoPO9dFjqmYvxlL1PbHgMVxagXfuN8QF44awd4sqAUbsazg0weccistaYpQxJ7AVs7Afo_6StYAvrNhjm7EgXEo_PL9vlN-_RB0ich6gfk5Q4k/s1600/energy-monitor.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 289px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 285px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563416749094017682" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz0-zu2R02AXk4OIzE1G7WjyEOz_KNOleoPO9dFjqmYvxlL1PbHgMVxagXfuN8QF44awd4sqAUbsazg0weccistaYpQxJ7AVs7Afo_6StYAvrNhjm7EgXEo_PL9vlN-_RB0ich6gfk5Q4k/s320/energy-monitor.jpg" /></a> <br /><div></div><br /><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">We have had the ClimateSmart assessment done to the house. </span><br /><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Its interesting to see how much power you are using in real time. </span><br /><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I will be interested to see what our power bills will be like in the future - only time will tell!</span></p><br /><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">PS.
