At the moment it only has VERY basic functionality because I have only spent a few hours on it. When I get more time, I will completely redo the site to become a premier food resource with a twist.

Monday 10 September 2001 - The world can change in a day. Don’t miss your daily edition of in-depth news.

It’s not often that a print ad literally jumps up and throttles our attention like this one - done for local newspaper brand Cape Times - did this morning.

There are four executions. This one in reference to 9/11, another (beautifully shot) for Hiroshima 1945, the JFK assassination and the ‘76 Soweto riots.

Using iconic events from history, the campaign highlights the fact that world-changing events often can’t be predicted and that the course of history can, quite literally, change in a day.

Love the art direction and the hard-hitting message of these ads. Stunningly arresting.

In comments published Tuesday, the 63-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist said he had snorted his father’s ashes mixed with cocaine.

“The strangest thing I’ve tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father,” Richards was quoted as saying by British music magazine NME.

“He was cremated and I couldn’t resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn’t have cared,” he said. “… It went down pretty well, and I’m still alive.”

Richards’ father, Bert, died in 2002, at 84.

Richards, one of rock’s legendary wild men, told the magazine that his survival was the result of luck, and advised young musicians against trying to emulate him.

“I did it because that was the way I did it. Now people think it’s a way of life,” he was quoted as saying.

“I’ve no pretensions about immortality,” he added. “I’m the same as everyone … just kind of lucky.

“I was No. 1 on the `who’s likely to die’ list for 10 years. I mean, I was really disappointed when I fell off the list,” Richards said.

Sir Richard Branson is raising his game as “saviour of the planet” by announcing a multimillion-pound prize for the best way of removing thousands of tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

The prize - expected to be in the range of £10m - will go to the originator of the most convincing invention for actively absorbing and storing the principal man-made gas in the atmosphere responsible for global warming.

Sir Richard has drawn up a distinguished panel of judges to oversee the prize including James Lovelock, the inventor of the Gaia theory; James Hansen, the Nasa researcher who first warned the US government of climate change, and Tim Flannery, the Australian zoologist and explorer.

The competition is based on the idea of the $10m X-prize for the first privately-built, reusable aircraft that could fly into “space” - defined as 100km above ground - twice in one week. The X-prize was awarded in 2004.

The irony of basing an environment prize for absorbing carbon dioxide on a prize for releasing the gas in the fastest way possible will not be lost on many environmentalists who want to curb the unnecessary use of fossil fuel rather than relying on untried and unproven technological fixes for global warming.
